5. LRNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) Playfield.Update Director Blank informed the commissioners
that the shelters' builder had given him a completion date of
December 1, 1980. The hollow metal doors for the shelters
have not been delivered yet, and this is causing some problems
including delaying the roof installation. The Oakwood site
might be ready for sod by September 12. Commissioner Mullan
asked about areas that need seeding, and if this would be
completed by September 15? Director Blank yid that the
seeding areas are minimal in size and that no seeding would
take place after the 15th. Mr. Blank then reviewed the
Ridgemount playfield site plans with the commissioners.
x He pointed out sizes and layout of the hockey rinks, soccer/
football fields, and baseball/softball. diamonds. He also
iAdicated where the parking areas would be located for these
sites, and additionally pointed out that lighting has been
the most expensive item in the playfiel.d construction process.
A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COMMISSIONER MULLAN' TO ACCEPT THE
RIDGEMOUNT SITE PLAN AS PROPOSED. THE; MOTION WAS SECONDED
BY COMMISSIONER CHESEBROUGH. A VOTE WAS TAKEN AND THENMOTION
CARRIED WITH FOUR AYES. Commissioner Dvorak abstained,. since
he had not been present during much of the Ridgemount discus-
sion.
Director Blank, then -discussed the Zachary site plan. This
piayfield will. include four coi,bination baseball/c.oftball
diamonds, one baseball (only) diamond, two soccer/football
fields, two hockey rinks, a shelter building, and four -tennis
courts. There is a low point on this site, which Mr. Blank.
said would contain a man-made pond for drainage, and during
the winter, this would become the free skating area.

FROM:, Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUILIECT, Bass Laker,
SUMMARY: This report deals with the current status of Bass Lake access and
specifically, with the proposal by Boyer Falmer to donate property to the City
for this purpose. "Our recommendation is that the City not: accept Mr. Palmer's
property to be used as lake access to Bass. Lake,
1 BACKGRgIJND. Bass .Lake is a small 'lake located in the northeast: Quadrant of the
Citof Plymouth. It has an area of 175 acres of surface water.: Approximately
90of its depth is under 10 feet, In recent years, the lake has had problemsr , with both severe winter kill of fish caused by deep frozen ice, and an exhorbi
tant.amount of weeds during the summer.. Approximately 65% of the: shore line
is developed by residential single family property. The lake area is bounded
by Pineview Lane on the west, County Rd. 10.on the north; Zachary Lane on the
east, and 54th Ave. on the south
In, recent years, the Department of Natural Resources,; Metropolitan Council
State Planning Agency, and other agencies have combined. to make a concerted
effort to acquire and develop public boat accesses on a majority, if not all,
of the lakes, in tie Metropolitan area.. They have done this, through a number
j of programs, one of which is the DNR going in and acquiring property and
developing the boat launch, or by supplying grant money to local communities to.
acquire and develop launch sites Because there is no public access to Bass
Lake at this time, the DNR is unable to contribute to the management of Bass
Lake.. This would include such items as restocking it with fish,_ managing the
fish population, and helping with the eradication of the weed problems, Because
the DNR is unable Whelp with this problem, the Bass Lake Improvement Associa-
tion, has accepted the responsibility with, the City of Plymouth's concurrence for
the management of Hass Lake..
The Bass Lake Improvement Association currently has three private launch or
park areas on Bass Lake. These private park areas have been made available to
the residents who live in. the area bounded by Pineview Lane: County Rd;. 10,
Zachary Lane and the Soo Railroad tracks. The Association has gone on record
as being in favor -,, , public access on Bass Lake. Their main concerns are that
public access be developed in the proper location and managed in such a way so
that it does; not become a negative factor on the environment of Bass Lake.

Memo to dames G. Willis Page 2
RE Bass Lake
September 29,; 1980
The; City Council has already gone on record stating that any access to Bass,
Lake should corse. from a major collector street as opposed to a residential
street.. In addition, such a site would have to have sufficient parking to
allow for the orderly storage: of Gars; and trailers. The Council has also asked
for proper landscaping.
The DN,R has proposed that a portion of Ti1?ber Shores Pork be developed into
a parking lot, and that they would then: dredge a small channel through the
marsh area, cut a channel through the shore line and open a channel out into
Bass Lake. City staff has reviewed this proposal', and we find that the marsh
land, which is a majority of Timber Shores Park, is approximately five feet
below the elevation of Bass Lake. By opening a channel betweirl the two water
bodies, the following would result: 1) jeopardize Zachary Lane to flooding,
2) use up most of 'the storm water storage capacity that is required of this pDnd
area, and 3) lower Bass Lake to some extent.. For these reasons, we do not
believe it is possible to provide boat access from the Timber Shores Park area
into Bass Lake
On June 9th of this year, the City received a letter from Boyer Palmer offering
to donate property (see enclosed map) to the, City of Plymouth, which would
include 50 feet of shore line on sass Lake to be used as a boat launch. Mr.
Palmer world agree to make this gift with five conditions; 1) that the gift
qualifies as a tax deductible transfer under the Internal Revenue Code, 2) that
the City of Plymouth reimburse him for all out of pocket expenses and other
expenses reasonably incurred as a result of this transfer, 3) that no more than
50 feet of the southerly part of Lot 6 as measured along the shore line be
included in the conveyance to the City of Plymouth, 4) that if requested by
him, the. City of Plymouth would provide an appraisal of the properties to be
transferred, and 5) that if the City of Plymouth decides to sell that portion
of Lot 6 transferred unto them,that.he would have the first right to purchase
the property at the same price as offered to-the City,
Mrs. Palmer has also offered to make this property available to the DNR. I should'
point out that the DNR does not need City approval in order to accept a gift 1 i ke
this or to purchase and develop the boat launch on Bass Lake. From a practical
point of view, they would find, it most difficult to proceed: with any type of
development if the City were to voice strong opposition to it. The plan,
as developed, by Mr. Palmer and the DNR, is that on the westerly three. lots
i abutting Pineview Lane,. there would be constructed a parking ;ot to hold approx-
imately nine cars with trailers The procedure would be then that the potential
user would come up Pineview Lane: and turn down Oakview Lane. At the end of the
cul'-de-sac, he would back down the 50 foot right of way, launch his boat, and
drive back out Oakview Lane, and park his automobile io, the parking lot off
Pineview Lane. The rest of this property would be developed as a mini-park:
facility (There are pending assessments against thisproperty wurrently
totalling $27,.453.81..) It is our understanding that Mr. Palmer has also offered
to turn this property over to the Bass Lake Improvement Association contingent.,
again,, on the fact that it must be a tax deductible contribution
RECOMMENDATIONS: First, I would recommend that the Palmer property not be
eevelop -as a public boat launch;, because it is incompatible with the resi-
dential nature of the existing development. This type of development would
tend to bring noise, litter, and traffic volumes that would be inconsistent with
a residentialstreet. Also, I think this would lead to Oakview Lane and;
1

Memo to dames. G. Willispage 3
RE: ,Bass Lake
September 29, 1,980
a portion of Pineview Lane needing to be posted i)s "No Parking," because sotce
people who would come and find a full parking lot would still wish to launch
their boats and park in the; street.
For City use as a mini -park, I think this site is limited, first, in size,
second, by the location that is, being adjacent to a major collector street;
and third, I think $25;000 in assessments is an extreme amount of money to
pay for a very small acreage:
Although I would discourage the DNR from developing this site for the reasons:
that I've listed, T would encourage the Bass Lake Improvement Association;
to try and come to an agreement. with Mr. Ivalmer on this property... 1 think they
would be the Logical group to hold and maintain a small park that would
serve as local access to the lake.
I would propose one possible trade- that might be Looked at, If the City were
to, accept the Boyer Palmer property in. orders that he could have the tax
advantage, and if the Bass Lake Association were to own a piece of property with
access to County Rd., 10 the City and the Association could then trade property.
The property with access to County Rd. 10 would be developed as a public access
by the DNR or the City, and the property on Pineview Lane would; be managed by
the Association as one sof their private accesses to 'the lake.
The best option is; for the DNR to acquire property with access from County Rd.
10 or-Pineview Lane:. With or without public access to Bass Lake, please remember
that it is the City's responsibility to manage the lake surface useage. Any
proposed' rules may not discriminate against Bass Lake residents or any others
wishing to use Bass Lake:

d Co Easement between Niagara. RE: Proposeecto Trail , ll r er
Lane and Fernbrook Lane
Dear Mr. ,Blank:
In accordance with our discussion at the September 22
City Council Meeting, we are writing to set forth our
reqquest for -the review and revision to the proposed
pedestrian collector trail easement specified above.
We understand that the Trail System Guiei Flan was
adopted and last reviewed in,1475. However, since
that time the complexion of the area at both Niagara.
and -in particular, at Fernbrook Lane, has changed
dramatically. Fernbrook Lane has since become a four,
lane, majorarterial for distribution of significant
amounts of traffic in the Highwey 494/'Highway 55 area.
Accordingly, the City has made a; concerted effort to
limit, the number of curb cuts or access points, to.and
from. Fernbrook Lane for, vehicular traffic.
In reviewing the developmentpatterns occurring in this
area, it would seem that any proposed pedestrian trails
may be snore appropriately situated adjacent to existing,
streets. rather than between. two privately owned in-
dustrial parcels,; This would offer the obvious advan-
tage of conforming pedestrian access to Fernbrook and
Niagara Lanes with the City's posture of restricting
vehicular access to Fernbrook and Niagara as well.
After reviewing the proposed land. uses for the unde-
veloped areas, we feel that consideration should be
given to alignment of tha proposed pedestrian corridor
alon. the border of Niagara,Lane south from 27th Avenue: g
to the County Road 6 -intersection. In other, words,
Cram -Weir Company, 5500 Lincoln {rive, Edina, Minnesota 55436 612/935-8482
Mr, EricRlank
September, 24, _ 1980
Page, 21
this portion of the- trail would become part:of the Cross
Comunity Trail as shown on the current Corridor Use
Plan: Prom this point:, the pedestriancorridorcould
then move eastward until it, intersects with the Cross
Comunity Trail, running parallel, to and west. of Highway
the4.94. This y of course, also offers added advantages
of'proximity to the existing as, well as proposed resi-
dential concentrations; in this area which would be the:
principalsource of pedestrian traffic.
We appreciate the careful. consideration which you and the
Park and Recreation Commission have given to the overall
planning of the. City -of Plymouth and look forward to
discussing this tatter with the. Commission at its forth-
coming meeting on:October 2, 19802
In'the meantime, should you have any quesnia s, please
contact us at, any time.

would have. Planner Tramere replied the lots Mouldnot be sub-
standard, but it. would create a site that. would not abut_ a public;
street and it would be the burden of the property owner to provide
access to the separate parcels. Mr. Tramere spoke against creating,
twoparcels a.nd,expressed concern that the second, building on the
second site, would not met the, code as for as ground coverage and
setbacks.
Mr.. Meir stated it is not their intent to divide the property into
two parcels and only in the.rase of a foreclosure would two
separate parcels be created. Mr. Weir stated the bank has not
asked for a lot division but only that the restrictive covenant
be removed from the conditions of approval. W'r Meir then dis-
played the -traffic plan to the Council. and the Attorney indicating
the easements for ingress and egress to the plat. Attorney Lefler
agreed the easements were adequate to provide access to the parcel..
