1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Edwards called the September meeting to order at 8:11 p.m. in the
Council Chambers
2.. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A :notion was made to approve the minutes of the July meeting as presented.
The motion carried with all ayes.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present,
b. Staff, Rick Busch stated that there had been a total of 210 teams in
the adult softball program, which continues to grow. He indicated
that field space is becoming a concern, and to alleviate the
situation, he has informed non-resident teams that the only league
they can play in next year, will be the Friday Open League.
He stated that the youth. fall soccer program has been underway since
the 5th of September. Six hundred eight children are enrolled between
grades one and nine. The lower age groups (1st -4th grades) are
playing six children to a side and play on smaller fields.
Rick also stated that he is busy planning winter programs, which
include warming houses, skating rinks, volleyball, broomball, 4 -man
hockey and basketball leagues.
Rick distributed a chart to the Commission which was an analysis of
spring/summer field use. The ,chart indicated the number of Plymouth
teams involved in sports sponsored by youth athletic associations and
the number of adult softball teams playing in the Plymouth Park and
Recreation program, It also showed the number of fields that are
available thrpughout Plymouth, both City fields and school district
fields and the number of players ,per field. This analysis was done :n
preparation for a meeting with a member of the NHPAA. who has voiced'
concern over the lack of baseball facilities in Plymouth for younger
age groups, particularly practice fields. A similar concern has been
raised. by a Plymouth resident from the Wayzata School District.
Director Blank indicated that this issue will probably surface more in
the future and further study needs to be done on. how many baseball
fields are needed.
Mary Patterson discussed the success of the rescheduled Water
Carnival, which was rained out in ::uly and postponed until Tuesday,
August 8. Approximately 700 people attended the event which was held
at Parkers Lake. In previous years, it had been held at East Medicine
Lake Beach on a Saturday afternoon and was not well. received. Mary

a week night as well &a the &-adit oral publicity given when it was
rescheduled.because of the ;rain out
Mary announced that our lifeguard staff took lot place in the 1989 All
Metro Lifeguard Competition held in Edina. She stated that our
beaches closed on August 13, with another safe season, and no major
problems.
She indicated that several summer programs were very successful,
including the pre-school PITS specials and the all day Day Camps that
we ran in cooperation with Hennepin Parks.
Fall programs have begun. Some: special events coming up that staff is
working; on include the Volksmarch, on October 7, the Third Annual Old
Fashioned Christmas on December .10, and the Second Annual Fire and Ice
Featival on February 10,
Another project that takes up some of Mary's time is the rental of the
Parkers Lake Pavilion. It's a popular spot, and is being requested by
groups. on a fairly regular basis.

None..
5. UNFINISHPD BUSINESS
a. ComRrehensive Park and Trail Plan Ucdatg. Director Blank stated that
the Planning Commission has wrapped up their review and has made
recommendations to the City Council. Based on some of the reguid`ing
that has been proposed to change from industrial to residential,
Director Blank feels that the park plan also needs to be reviewed. and
possible changes made. Director Blank is recommending that Brauer and
Associates, look over the park plan and analyze the current facilities.
Our neighborhood park system is mostly passive in nature, whereas
other communities haveein_stalled facilit es such as hockey rinks,
te;tnia courts, backstops, etc.,,, in thein neighborhood parks. We have
stayed away from doing this at the request of the residents, but it
might be time to begin- thinking about making some of our future
neighborhood parks a_ little more "active," Particularly in light of
recent concerns over lack of baseball practice facilities. Brauer
will also, be asked to help site playfields #9 and #10. We currently
have six completed playfield facilities, and we own the land to build
the seventh end eighth ('across from Parkers Lake Park and the 'Bass
Lake location) The third item that Brauer needs to study is where we
might, need future neighborhood parks in those areas where reguiding
has taken place, ;
Director Blank briefly reviewed the seven parcels that have been
proposed for park in the comprehensive park plan. Parcel 1A and 1B
are both owned by Harold Hytjan. He has no objections to the City's
r
PRAC Minutes/September 1989
Page 3'
plans, however, he would like to sell the property to the City now.
Director Blank explained to him that we usually dcn't: acquire park
property in this way; we wait for a developer to buy it and then we
get park dedication. However, we would discuss the purchase of his
land if the Council amends the park plan to include his land.
Parcel 1C is directly west of lA and 1B and this owner is not pleased.
with the idea of so much land being set aside for park.
Director Blank stated that -Parcel 2, which is north of Plymouth Creek
Park, has a final plat before the City at the present gime, and the
developer was agreeable regarding the proposed park area.
Parcel 3A and 3B are east of County Road 101 and north of County Road
24. These parcels are east and south of what is currently designated
as park for this neighborhood.
Parcel. 4 consists of 50 acres just east of Dunkirk Lane and south of
Old County, Road 9 near Plymouth Creek Elementary School. Director
Blank feels that this area would be better for the playfield than the
land originally recommended. There Is much better road access here.
Parcel 5 is near Mud Lake, east of Juneau Lane and south of County
Road 47. The owner his already sold the eastern 200 feet to HrYnnepin
P*rks for trail corridor. Director Blank is considering this parcel
fot tb* 04-Fy's 10th playfield site.
Parcel 6 belong* to the Begins and is on the south end of Mud. Lake.
The City currently owns the land on the west, north and east sides of.
Mud Lake and would now like about 75 feet on the south end in order to
continue the proposed trail around the lake. There is a home on this,
parcel, but Director Blank indicated that the 75 feet the City is
interested in does not interfere with this house, or any future
development plans the Begins may have.
Parcel 7 in the Forster property adjacent to and west of Zachary
Playfield. Director Blank would like this parcel to serve as a buffer
between the homes and the park. This parcel would also be good for
youth baseball fields;.
b. Plymouth Greek Parking„Lot/Soccer Field Update. In order to show PRAC
the, progress hare, Director Blank had a video tape for everyone to
view Which included the improvements here, as well as some
improvements at Parkers Lake and the new playground at Kilmer Park.
c, Went Medicine Lake Drive Frail Update. The bids will be in within two
weeks, and the first phare of this project will be done this fall.
d, Kilmer Park Playground Update. PRAC viewed this on the videotape.
e. ryC_e toerUodate. This item was postponed to the end of the
meeting, so the Commission could review the building, plans.

NEW BUSINESS
a. New Plats. There were no new plata.
b. Reguest to''Dredge Parkers Lake, Director Blank has discussed this
item with Fred Moore, Director of Public Works, and has learned that
the DiQ is the official body which sets the normal, water elevation on
Parkers Lake. It would be a very difficult process to change this.
Presently, four feet of storm water is retained here abova the normal
elevation, therefore, if that elevation were raised, flooding could
take place along the eastern shoreline, as well as ,possible flooding
of the Parkers Lake Pavilion, which. has its floor set at two feet
above the ordinary high water mark, Thus, the only way to get water
into the bay would be to dredge-. The dredged material could not be
used for the County Road 6 project as some residents have suggested,
because it's not suitable fill. Also, the County Road 6 project is
producing its own excess fill material, so additional material is not
needed,
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HANSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
BEACH TO NOT INCLUDE FUNDS TO DREDGE PARKERS LAKE AT THIS TIME,
BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER HIGHER PRIORITY ITEMS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE
CURRENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM. THE MOTIONCARRIED WITH ALL
AYES.
c. Joint Meeting with the Planning Coneissiz. This meeting will be held
on September 27 at 9 p.m., following a, regular Planning Commission
meeting. It should last for about an hour.
d. Park Dedication Fund Summary._ Director Blank distributed a copy of
the park dedication fund showing its current balance. He stated that
the City has made approximately $660,000 so far this year in park
dedication, which is up about $100,000 from this time last year.

RE: Trail .Plan Amendment, Bass Creek Business Park
Dear Chair Edwards:
Opus Corporation has requested the Parks and Recreation Commission to
consider an amendment to its Trail Plan for the city to allow
incorporation of a new trail segment proposed in our Bass Creek Business
Park as a part of that citywide system. I assume ghat you have by now
received a copy of the staff report dated October 3 frorl your Director of
Parks and, Recreation, Eric Blank, which opposes the amendment we are
proposing. Unfortunately, I will be out of town when the commission takes
up consideration of our request on October 12 and therefore, must rely on.
this letter to communicate our thoughts of why we believe the city would
be better served by adopting our proposal.
The objective of the trail segment proposed in our plan is twofold;: (1)
to interconnect the city trail segment along Bass Lake Road with the
Hennepin Park's Pike Lake Regional trail system via, an exte- Son through
our bass Creek Business Park developments and (2) to Prov- owners and
business residents of Bass Creek an opportunity to participate in the
benefits of such an interconnection through the careful orientation and
routing of this new trailway interconnection.
Our experience in the area of designing and developing quality business
parks throughout the .metro area as well as in other states of the U.S.
indicates that owners and tenants in these parks are demanding the.
innovative inclusion of more and more recreationally related features and
amenities such as trails in the -physical setting surrounding their
businesses: Therefore, all goo(! public and private_ Business Park Planners
emphasize and carefully plan for the location and routing of trails as an.
integral and important part of their park design. In addition, a well
I .f -.
anned trail system is strenghthened and enhanced if there is an
r interconnectedness between it and an existing or planned regional system._
Chair,, Barbara Edwards
October 11, 1989
Page —2,—
The subject trail segment proposed for Bass Creek Business Park satisifes
all of these basic planning requirements and principles, and, if
constructed,, will create a recreational pathway of genuine importance to
the approximately 5500 new employees of Bass Creek as well as residents of
the city at large.
We are proposing to dedicate the trail system to the city as a public
system since it will function to serve more than the residents of Bass
Creek through its interconnection with the Regional Pike Lake Trail
System. However, we are 'very flexible as to the amount of maintenance to
the trail that should be provided by the city. Our experience is that a
minimum of mowing and repairing of cracks, fissures and potholes in the
blacktop of the trail itself is all that will be required. But, we don't
see snow plowing being done on the trail during winter months. Therefore,
the trail segment through BassCreek should not generate a high cost to
the city for maintenance,
Bass Creek Business Park will, once completed, generate an estimated
5,000,000 in taxes per year of which the city share will be $600,000.
This revenue should be more than adequate. to cover any city maintenance
cost
We cannot argue against the precedent already set by the city for creation
and maintenance of other trail systems serving business parks in the city
i.e., Northwest: Business Campus, Carlson Center, ITT -505 Waterford Park,
etc.) as private systems.. However, our proposal is unique in that we are
attempting to interconnect an important segment of the city's and Regional
Park; trail systems together through the Bass Creek Business Park
development plan to serve an emerging population in the northwest quadrant
of the city. This situation justifies making an exception to your 'current
policy and including the proposed trail segment in your city's trail
systems plan.
Thanks for your time, attention and approval of our proposed amendment.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT.. BASSCRE,EK BUSINESS PARK - OPUS CORPORATION - TRAIL PLAN AMENDMENT
The. Opus. Corporatton is in the process of developing the Basscreek Business
Park on approximately 175 acres located at, the, northwest corner of State
Highway 169 and County Road 10. They hale requested that the. City consider
amending its Comprehensive Trail Plan to include a. trail as shown on the
attached graphic within their development. The purpose of this request, is so
that they might receive credit for the development of the trail against their
park dedication fees, and that the City would be responsible for the ongoing
operation and maintenance of this segment of trail, In order to accomplish
their request, it is necessary for the. City to hold a public hear..,ng to amend
the Comprehensive Trail Plan, The Planning Commission will hold the public
hearing as part of the Plan approval process, The petitioner has, however,
requested that you review this item at your October 12 t,etiog, so your
thoughts can go to the Planning Commission and City Council.
The current Compr,)hensive Flan contemplates an off-road trail on tho north
side of County Road 10 from. the Highway 169 interc tinge over to County Road
61. As you, can see from the attached graphic, Opus is raquest:ing that a new
public, trail be added from the Pike Lake: Regional Park area, across the north
side of the develcpmenL and down the east: Side, to tie intr he Nathan Court
cul-de-sac.
PRIMARY ISSUES: The Commission needs to determine whether or not there, is
enough public benefit from this -,,il to warrant the public acquisition,
development and operation of said; trail.
RECOMMENDATION I recommend the City not change our trail plan, to include
this segment of trail, for the following reasons:
1 We, have no residential property or citizetis in this area (Maple Grove
does),
2 Hennepin Parks will have many trails in the Regional park.
3. Hennepin Parks will have trail connections to the surrounding
residential neighborhoods
4 The City will provide "public" trails to the Regional park entrance
on County Road 10 and Zachary Lane.

Dear Mr. Worthington:
This letter is written to forward review comments and observations submitted
by the staff members at the September 26, 1989 staff review committee meeting; regarding the above referenced application. This shall also confirm our
meeting with you and Michelle. Foster of September 26, to review these
comments. During the staff discussion of the application materials submitted, the following items were addressed:
I. Consistent with earlier comments regarding the concept plan for this site
your street naming should be amended to show "Trenton Court" as "Revere
Lane"; "Nathan Court" as 1159th Avenue North"; and, the portion of the loopstreetfromthewestlineofproposedLot9tothewestlineofproposedLot4as "60th Avenue North".
2. It was established that it is the intent of OPUS to continue the proposal
that the trail system depicted in the preliminary plan be dedicated to theCity. By implication this dedication would involve: credit for the
construction costs of the trail and the continued maintenance of thesetrailsbytheCityofPlymouth. We have indicated that the City Council
statement at concept plan approval with regard to this proposal remains.
valid: acceptance of any trails within this proposed development as
public trails would be only upon amendment to the City of Plymouth Park. and Trail System. Plan:. Trails that you are proposing to construct are not
now depicted on the System Plan and therefore are not now eligible forpublicdedicationandperpetualmaintenance.
Consistent with the foregoing it will be necessary for you to file a
specific application for an amendment to the Plymouth Comprehensive Plan. We have unclosed the necessary checklists. There will also be a need to
submit. an amended application form and additional application fees.
Depending on the timing of your additional application for amendment totheComprehensivePlan, it &U be possible to schedule a Public HearingbeforethePlanningCommissionconcurrentwithhearingsregardingotherelementsofyourcurrentapplication..

3. The position of the Engineering Division remains that the City of Plymouth
will not accept fee title ownership to outiots intended .for storm water
drainage purposes. Our recommendations in this regard will remain the
same as they were with the concept plan for this site.
4. Yourpcans should be amended to more currently specify the. extent of
shoreland zone C. From the naps submitted it would appear that. this zone
is limited to the extreme southeast corner of the site. Adjustment to
your graphics is necessary to depict this zone to be; the entire floodplain
area on the: east side of the site.
5. We noted that A11 landscape features shall be located on private property.
landscaping shall be depicted for location within the public right -of
way
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of those review items identified
during the staff review of the application materials. You should respond to
the above review comments in written and/or graphic form as a propriate. Your
earliest response in written and/or graphic form to the above points will
permit us to continue processing the application for review by the Planning
Commission You should respond to all of the items.
Once the additional and/or revised information is submitted, the staff members
will in turn review the information to verify that all the items have been
addressed. If any additional comments arise from that staff review,
correspondence similar to this letter will be promptly forwarded to you. If
you have questions relating to the above review comments, or if you feel a
more detailed discussion (through c, meeting with the staff members) is
warranted, please feel free to contact our office at your earliest
convenience.
We anticipate working with you through the completion of the review process.
Hopefully, this information will assist you.

FILE k0. 89061
PETITIONER: OPUS Corporation
REQUEST: Amended MPUD Concept Plan
LOCATION: Northwest corner of State Highway 169 and County Road 10
Bass lake Road)
GUIDE PLAN CLASS: IP (Planned Industrial) and CL (Limited Business'
i
3ONINGz IP (Planned Industrial and FRD (Future Restricted
Development District),
BACKGROUND;
By Resolution 81-339,, an MPUD Concept Plan was approved on the subject parcel
for the Tennant Company in 1981. Concorrent with that action, by Resolution
81-340, the Land Use Guide Plan was also amended, resulting in uiding of the
property to CL (the eastern portion) and IP (the western portion.
On February 27, 129.89, the City Council approved Resolutions 89-105 and 89-106
approving an amended MPUD Concept Plan and an MPUD Preliminary
Plat/Plan/Conditional Use Permit for this parcel. At its meeting May 1, 1989,
the City Council approved an MPUD Final' Phan and Final Plat for a 25-acre
portion of this PUD for the 200,000 square foot Schneider U.S.A. building.
The final plat covered the entire 210-acre parcel with all but the Schneider
U.S.A. site becoming an outlot.
Notice of this public informational meeting was published in the official, city
newspaper and flailed to all property owners within 500 feet. In addition, a
development sign has been placed on the property.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. The proposal calls for an amended MPUD Concept Plan covering the entire
210-acre site. The amendment provides a new development concept for that
portion of the site not included within the Schneider proposal referenced
above. The 1988 MPUD Concept Plan amendment generally addressed only the
Schneider site, leaving the balance of the PUD design consistent with the
1981 Tennant plan. This 1,989 Concept Plan amendment retains the same
basic overall project scale (approximately 1.8 million square feet of
see next page)
Page Two
File 89061
buildings), but changes the concept from single user campus, approach that
Tennant had brought forth, to a multiple user/multiple structure business
park. The applicant haspresented with his letter of June 26, 1988, a
review of theproject, concept together with a review by the aPplicant's
consultant of the differences between the 1981/1988 concept plans and the
concept plan amendment proposed by this application.
2. The site is located in the Shingle Creek Watershed District and contains a.
flood plain and water retention basin of substantial significance in the
northeast corner; contains Shoreland Management areas; contains a limited
amount of woodland in the central and northwestcorners; contains a
significant wet land area directly related and a part of the flood plain
area noted previously; contains some siopes of greater than 12 percent
adjacent to
I
the wet land area) and is generally, suitable for urban
development with public sewers, except for the flood plain/wet land area
noted above. The primary physical constraint of this site is located in
the northeast corner of the site and contains over 25 acres. As with
previous concept plans for this site, this design precludes interference
with the storm water drainage and protected wetland in this area.
The balance of the site is generally free of constraints but does contain
areas of substantial topographic relief that must be accommodated with any
site design.
3. The Zoning Ordinance provides that review of an MPUD Concept Plan and, by
implication, amendments to an MPUD Concept Plan, such as this is, shall
the address the following;
a.. Relationship of the uroposal fQr,the surrounding neighborhood
The relationship between the concept plan proposed in 1939.and that
which w is proposed in 1988 and 1981 has not changed significantly. To
the east and the south lie major 4 -lane thoroughfares where direct
impact on neighboring property is not a major factor. To the north
lies residential properties in the City of Maple Grove. The 1981/1988
Concept Plan called for a single "research and development." structure
to be located within 100 feet of the north property line and the rear
or side, property lines of the Maple Grove homes. The 1989 Concept
Plan calls for three "office warehouse manufacturing" structures
aanginq from 58,000 square feet to 130,000 square feet to be located
adjoining the Meme Grove, homes with the closest structure 175 feet
from the north property fine., Parking for two of these structures
comes to within 100'feet of the property line.
The applicant has submitted a cross-section and conceptual
berming/landscape plans that address the relationship between the 1989
Concept Plan and the properties to the: north- To the west of the site
lies portions of the Hennepin County Park Reserve District "Pike Lake
Regional Park". The 1981/1988 Concept Plan called for a 510,000
square foot manufacturing facility to be located within 40 feet of
this west property line. The 1989 Concept Plan depicts up to 3
office/showroom structures ranging from 94,000 square feet to 64,000
see next: page)
Page Three
File 89061
square feet adjoining this property line, with no structure closer to
the property line than approximately 75 feet.
b. CgUliance with City Ordinances and the CgUrehensive Plan
Asa function of the 1981 action on this parcel, the Land Use Guido
Plan was amended so the entire parcel is guided Planned Industrial and
Limited Commercial. The 1989 Concept Plan propos!s a mix of office
and manufacturing. Approxi?ately 32 percent of the site is
conceptually designed for either office or office/showroom type uses
with 6Z percent of the site depicted for office warehouse
manufacturing use, and 6 percent of the site designed for
hotel/daycare/restaurant use.
The Zoning Ordinance provides for uses in an MPUD to be those as
permitted or conditional in the underlying zoning districts. The
present ordinance provides for Motels, class I restaurants, and
daycare facilities as conditional uses in the B-1 zone, which would
stom form the CL guiding currently existing for the east portion of
the site. The balance of the site is generally proposed by the
concept plan for uses consistent with either 1-1 or. B-1 guide plan
classifications that exist for the site in a p = . 'ion that roughly
approximates guiding proportion of IP to CL on site. Consistent
with the current guiding of the site, all pure office uses are
oriented to the eastern portion and all manufacturing/warehousing uses
are oriented to the western portion of the site:
The 1989 amended MPUD Concept Plan appears consistent with the Land
Use GO& Plan element of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Plymouth. Compatibility with the Thoroughfare Guide Plan was
confirmed in the 1988 Concept Plan Amendment. The 1989 Concept Plan
also continues to depict the potential for a -portion of the site to
becomea component of the Hennepin County Regional Park immediately to
the west,
4. The amended MPUD Concept Plan has been submitted to the State of Minnesota
Department of Transportation, the Hennepin County Park Reserve District,
the Hennepin County Highway Department, the Department of Natural
Resources, and the City of Maple Grove. Comments have been received from
Hennepin, County Highway Department indicating their concurrence with the
plan, at.. from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District indicating their
intpflest in the northwesterly portion of the site for addition to the
regional park. No other response has been received from governmental
agencies that have been contacted.
The transfer of ,a 10 -acre portion of this site in the northwest corner to
Hennepin County Regional Park is still desired by the Park District. No
LiU park or trail land dedication is required fromthisparcel.
5. The concept Man depicts a separate parcel of land covering the storm
water drainage and flood p1pin area in the northeast portion of the site,
in addition to the parcel of land in the northwest portion of the site

that is proposed for sale to the Hennepin County Regional Park. It has
not been the policy of the City of Plymouth to aceept dedication of storm
water drainage areas in fee tithe. Rather, easements across private land
have been required. In n2—aa has park dedication credit been granted
for such storm water drainage area under the current policy
6. A concept plan depicts a. "public trail" extending from the far southeast
corner of 'she site northerly to the north- boundary of the site and the
westerly to the area of the regional park. The City of Plymouth Parks and
Trails System Plan does nd reflect a need for public trails to be located
anywhere within this 210 -acre site. it is the policy of the City of
Plymouth to not accept maintenance responsibilities for; or grant park
dedication credits for trail seg -vents. that are not a portion of the City
of Plymouth Park and Trail System Plan.
7, This HPUD Concept Plan amendment is of a scale that requires completion of
an Environmental, Impact. Statement consistent with the rules of the
Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. This environmental process will
include the preparation of an Environment As°essment "Scoping Document",
preparation of a draft Environmental Impart, Statement; and the preparation
of a final Environmental Impact Statement. Numerous opportunities for
public comment on the environmental documents will be available during the
environmental review process. No final approval of a preliminary
plat/plan for this project can be completed by the City of Plymouth until
the final Environmental Impact Statement has been approved.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
1. We find the: amended MPUD Concept Plati to be responsive to the Zoning
Ordinance requirements; with respect to the relationship to the sury,tinding
neighborhood,
2. We find the proposed concept plan to be consistent with the Land Use Guide
Plan and System Plan Elements of the Comprehensive Plan with the exception
of the Parks and Trail System Plan Element.
We find the prnposeddevelopment of "public trails" to be inconsistent
with the Park and Trails System Plan Element of the Comprehensive Plan in
that no public parks or trails are in the adopted plan element for this
area of the City. There is no objection on our part to a private
pedestrian circulation system.
3. We find the proposal to design the storm water holding area in the
northeast portion of the site as a separate lot to be deeded to the City
to be inconsistent with the manner with which such storm water holding
reqs are addressed by the City. We recommend that the lot lines of the
adjoining properties be extended through the storm water holding area and
that a public storm water drainage easement be provided covering that
portionbelow the elevation required for protection..

RE: Revised Concept Plan - Tennant Corporate Center (#81-339)
Dear Mr. Tremere:
Opus Corporation is pleased to submit the enclosed PUD concept plan for
the BasEt Creek Business Park which revises and supersedes the existing
RPUD concept plan for Tennant Corporate Center approved by the City
Resolution #81-339) for the subject property in 1981. The subject
property covered by the revisedPUD concept plan is the 2.10 acres of land
in the north corner of County Roads 10 and 169.
The proposed plan, which includes the recently approved site of the,
Schneider USA headquarters which is currently under construction,
envisions development of a mixed use business center which will become the
home base for the next generation of new businesses wishing to relocate
their, operations to this area of Plymouth. Bass Creek. Business Park will
upon completion contain about 1.8, mllicn square feet of
office -warehouse -manufacturing and a limited amount of .retail space within
its parklike campus'.
We are. requesting Planning Commission and'Council approval of the new Bass
Creek Business Park PUr concept plan as the first step in what could be a
nine (9) month governmental. approval process involving the preparation of
a Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheat (Scoping EAW) as well as an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Indirect Source Permit (ISP) for
the Park. Approval of the concept plan will ensure that aAl of the
assumptions and: studies undertaken as a part of the EIS and ISP process
are consistent, and compatible with Plymouth's, development goals and
objectives for the subject property. Once we have successfully cleared
the most important requirements of these major environmental oversight
processes as well as any imposed by the City through approval of the
concept plan, it is our intent to purchase the subject property, excluding
the Schneider USA site which we already control, from the Tennant Company
making the Bass Creek Business Park a permanent and prestigious part of
our land development portfolio.

The Ten nant Corporate Center concept plan" envisioned development of the
subject property as the 'headquarters campus for Tennant. All of the
various administrative, manufacturing, research and development operations
of the company, which were decentralized and operating from a_ number of
locations in 1981, were to have been consolidated and regrouped on the
property. The Corporate Center, which was to have been highlighted by a,
free standing high image administrative office complex overlooking the
major entry to the Center from County Road 18 at Bass Lake Road, was
planned Co take on a college campus type appearance. The plan, which was
to be initiated in the early eighties, would have taken 8-10 years to
implement and upon completion would have had 1,850,000 square feet of
office—manufacturing, research and development space grouped in four or
five sepaate major buildings on the property. Access to each of the
buildings was to have been provided through'a major internal "looped,"
boulevard lake road: which would internalize all on site access create a
sense of privacy and prestige for the center as well as ensure tenants and
users of the Park of no through traffic.
The revised concept plan for Bass Creek Business Park preserves and
retains many of the environmental features as well, as the same internal
curvel.inear looped' street concept planned, for the Tennant Corporate
Center. The total square footage proposed for Bass Greek; (1,810,000
square feet), is very comparable to the Tennant Corporate Center Plan.
The major difference is that Bass- Creek is being planned for use by
multiple business interest as opposed to a single user. This means the
plan must provide opportunity for a wide: mange of choices in terms of use,
architectural style, and size of building as compared to the Tennant
concept which had more predictability in those areas of concern. However,
through covenants and a disciplined marketing program, the same type of
natural environmental charm and ambience promised in; the Tennant plan can
be achieved at Bass Creek without compromise.
I have attached a memorandum from BRW, Inc., our planning consultant for
Bass Creek Business Park, which compares some of the common features of
Bass Creek with the original Tennant Corporate Center plan. It is our
conclusion and belief, considering the difference:; already alluded to,
that the two plans are very comparable to one another. BRW agrees with
that conclusion, stating the difference between the two concepts is one of
degree" and is a result that can be expected when a development's
philosophy is shifted from a single user corporate campus to a
contemporary multi -use business park such as the current (Bass Creek
Business Park) proposal

I am asking that you accept the enclosed application for concept plan
review for the ;Bass Creek; Business Center, for processing and scheduling
for consideration on the July 12 or 27 Planning Commission Agenda.
We have retained the law ,firm of Faegre & Benson to assist us in. managing
the environmental review/regulatory process which by law must be complied
with before final _approval for Bass Creek can be granted. Mr.. Walter
Rockeinstein of that firm will be submitting the Scoping EAW, which is the
first step of that regulatory process, for the enclosed concept plan to
you through a separate letter. We would appreciate having City
coordination of the concept plan and Scoping EAW so that the City's review
and approval process would consider both those items at the same time.
Call me if you have questions or require any additional information
regarding our concept plan, approval request• Thanks for your attention
and cooperation.

MEMORANDUM
w
As you requested, I am preparing this brief overview comparing elements of the
proposed Bass Creek Business Park Concept Plan with the goals, objectives, and
PUD attributes of the Tennant Company Corporate Headquarters plan as approved
in 1981 and amended for the Schneider USA development.
Key attributes of 1981 PUO concept plan included the following elements which
were incorporated into the original planning for the Tennant Company Corporate
Headquarters:
1. Provision of an internal loop roadway to limit intersections with Bass Lake
Road, and to internalize site access.
2.•- Provision of secondary cul de sac roadways on-site to limit traffic impacts
on adjoining properties, and to maintain the integrity of the site's natural
features:
3. Preservation of the marsh/bluff complex at the east end of the site
including major vegetation.
4. Preservation of major vegetation along the northern property line and along
the ridge adjoining the future Eagle Lake Park acquisition area to buffer
the park and the residential uses in Maple Grove.
Mr. Robert Worthington
June 23, 1989
Page 2
5. Preservation of wetlands in the west central part of the site.
The basic elements of the previously approved concept plan are all still
present in the curint proposal. Each of the nine elements listed above is
provided for. The principal difference between the plans is not a change in
the basic concepts upon which the plan was and is based, but rather one of
degree to which the concepts are carried out. This is best illustrated by
comparing some of the basic site data which quantifies and measures certain
inpacts of development on the site.
1981 Tennant
Corporate 1989 Bass Creek
Headquarters Business Park
1. Gross floor area 1.,850,000 S.F. 1,810,000 S.F.
2. Building footprint area 1,420,000 S.F. 1,282,000 S.F.
3. Lineal feet of roadway
o 4 -lane 3,750 Ft. 3,750 Ft.
o 2 -lane 2,750 Ft. 2,500 Ft.
4. Parking spaces provided 3,988 6,265
5. Parking spaces required 5,620* 61186
Based on 700,000 square feet of office at 1/300 square feet and 1,150,000
square feet manufacturing and research and development at 11350 square feet.
It can be seen from these comparisons that the two plans are similar in all
respects except parking spaces provided (illustrated) on the plans. The
resulting impact of this dramatic difference is an obvious reduction in the
apparent amount of open space and increase in hard surface coverage when
visually comparing the two plans. This impact 1s a direct result of two
important factors which accompany the shift in development philosophy from a
corporate campus such as the Tennant proposal, to a contemporary multi -use
business park such as the current proposal.
1. The multiple lots and individual building development of a business park
tend to segment the open space and concentrate it in smaller areas while
reducing the scale of individual buildings. Much of the open space is
maintainedin individual setback areas. Conversely, the limited number of
very large building areas in the corporate headquarters plan allows
consolidation of open space with massive buildings as a consequence.
Mr. 'Robert Worthington
June 23, 1989
Rage 3
2. The single user in the corporate headquarters plan allows for extensive
proof -of -parking because of the known characteristics and requirements of
the user. The business park, on the other hand, requires the ability to
maximize parking provided in order to maximize flexibility in accommodating
a variaty of possible users with a variety of parking requirements. It
would be reasonable to expect that specific development proposals would
allow some reduction of parking actually constructed as compared to that
illustrated in the business park plan.

Plymouth, Mn. 55447
Dear Councilmembers:
we would like to express our concern regarding the lack
of 90 foot baseball fields, and accompanying facilities
in the City of Plymouth.
4ith our Plymouth/Wayzata Youth Baseball Association growing
larger every year over 900 boys registered for the 1989
season -this shortage of fields causes many problems,
including a shortened season and scheduling problems for
games and practices. Also, as many of our boys and
families travel to other communities throughout the Twin.
Cities and the state. of Minnesota to compete, other
excellent facilities are seen. Our poor, or non-existent
facilities do not speakwell for our community, and also
do not allow us to reciprocate and host tournaments and
games which could bring many people and dollars into the
community.
We understand some plans are being made for Parkers Lake.
de need at least two full-size baseball diamonds, plus
smaller diamonds for younger players, along with other
facilities, such as concession stand., restrooms, lights,
grandstand, bleachers, batting cages, etc. To have a
complete baseball .facility in one location would indeed be a
much-needed addition to our community.
In addition, the dayzata ;High School varsity baseball field
is in very bad shape and in a poor location. Perhaps a
coordinated effort between the City of Plymouth and #284
School Board would bring about results to solve both problems,
and hopefully by the 1990 season!
We would be happy to assist in this very worthwhile project.

Dear Henry:
The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed and discussed your
request with regard to the dredging of Parkers Lake at their September 14
Commission meeting.; Based on the information that I have enclosed in the
attached staff report, the Commission concluded that it was not a high
enough priority to be considered in the current, five year Capital
improvement budget. This would not preclude such a program from being,
added to a future capital budget:
If you and the other homeowners surrounding this area would like to
consider privately financing such an operation, Y would be happy to offer
my services to help you in securing the necessary DNR and Corp of. Engineer
permits that would, be required. If I can be of any further assistance to
you, please give me a call. Thank you for your time and interest in this
matter.

To City of Plymouth Council members:
I have served on the Park and Rec. Advisory Commission for a number of years
approximately eight. With a little hesitancy, I am now notifying you of my
resignation. My life has become, more busy than I care for and I have found
it necessary to change some of my time commitments and prioritize my life.
City government fascinates me and, sometime down the road of my life I would
like to get involved again. Right now I have a need to be more involved with
my family and to do special things for myself. 4
It has been a privilege to work with a lot of fine people on the P.R.A.C.
and I have benefited from the experience. I want to wish all of the members
of the city council and P.RA.C. best of luck with their futures.
Thank you again for an unforgetable experience -- one I will treasure,
Sincerely,
Judy LaTour
Member of P.R.A.C.

Dear Theresa
Just a short note to let you know that I have received your petition with
regard to the trail between Zachary Lane and Nathan Lane along 45th Avenue.
The City's draft Capital improvement budget for the year 1990.includes funding
for the construction of this trail. If the City Council approves the CIP
later this year, I anticipate; that. work will begin on this, trail around May of
next year. It should not take more than a week cr two to complete the
project,
I have forwarded your petition to the City Council and the Park, and Recreation
Advisory Commission, for their review.: if I may be of further assistance to
you, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
64'ef
