J:TUEMIMWATERSHL\ELMCAEEK\99MEETIMMAY.WPD June1999 This Hennepin County newsletter -- for citizens interested in the county's Public Safety Facility (PSF) project -- is distributed to downtown N inneapolis neighbors of the PSF, area contractors, small businesses and local government officials. Project overview The PSF will include a new booking facility, 270 detention beds, arraignment courtrooms and space for court -related programs. It is being built just east of the Mmneapolis City Hall/Courthouse on the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth streets and Fourth and Fifth avenues, and is scheduled to open in June 2001. The existing jail, located in the Minneapolis City Hall, will be remodeled as part of the overall project. Upon completion of the new PSF, the present jail will serve as a 509 -bed, long-term housing facility. Budget reductions; bid awards With projections on the cost of building the PSF $2.8 million higher than anticipated, due in part to the strong local construction market, the Hennepin County Board agreed to approximately $3 million in reductions to meet the PSF construction budget of $96.2 million. Major cuts involved decisions to complete only two of three planned courtrooms and to delay completion of laundry facilities. In June, the board awarded a number of contracts for such work as utilities, masonry, architectural woodwork, roofing, and food service equipment. Approximately 90 percent of the contracts on the PSF project have now been bid. Construction update Project managers report that PSF construction is proceeding without delay. ■ The installation of caissons -- round, concrete structures which connect PSF footings to the bedrock -- has been completed. ■ Underground electrical and mechanical work is progressing ahead of schedule. ■ Work on the basement foundation walls is nearly complete. ■ The structural frame contractor is installing interior columns and is pouring first floor concrete slabs. The structural fame is to be completed in November. Installation of exterior pre -cast concrete will follow. ■ Two tower cranes have been installed on the site.

Both meetings start at 7 p.m. and will be held at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd. July 19 Meeting On July 19, City of Plymouth staff will hold an informal meeting to explain and answer questions about the draft sanitary sewer staging plan and future land use plan for Northwest Plymouth. The draft sewer staging plan will determine the location of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. It also will determine the general order for extending sewer services within the area. Meeting notices and copies of maps were mailed to affected property owners and owners of property within 750 feet of the affected areas. Comments from the July 19 meeting will be forwarded to the City Council and Planning Commission for a July 27 work session. July 27 Meeting On July 27, the City Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint work session on the Comprehensive Plan. The two bodies will discuss city-wide land use issues as well as review plans for sanitary sewer expansion in Northwest Plymouth. The July 27 meeting will be televised live on channel 37 in Plymouth. The Comprehensive Plan is a major City planning tool that coordinates land use and public facilities. The Comprehensive Plan is comprised of several elements, including land use, housing, transportation, parks, open space, trails, surface water, water supply and sanitary sewer. All metro area cities are required to update their plans due to amendments the Minnesota Legislature made to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act in 1996. The Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 1973. The last complete update was in 1991. If you unable to attend the July 19 or July 27 meeting and wish to comment, please do so in writing. You can send a letter to the Community Development Department, 3400 Plymouth Blvd., Plymouth, MN 55447 or a fax to 612-509-5407. If you wish to e-mail, the address is ahurlbur@ci.plymouth.mn.us.

I494 Corridor Commision/JPO Meeting Minutes of Wednesday, June 23, 1999 (Unapproved) I. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 8:55 a.m. by Chair Ross Thorfinnson at Southwest Metro Transit Commission's transit hub. Those in attendance were: Ross Thorfinnson, Eden Prairie Joy Tierney, City of Plymouth John Rask, City of Plymouth Curt Gutoske, City of Minnetonka Jim Hovland, City of Edina Russ Susag, City of Richfield Mike Opatz, City of Maple Grove Dick Allendorf, City of Minnetonka John Mulcahy, Metro Commuter Services Clarence Shallbetter, Metropolitan Council Lisa Raduenz, LJR, Inc. Leah Goldstein, LJR, Inc. II. Review of Minutes. Review of minutes from May 12, 1999, was delayed because there wasn't a quorum. III. Other Business. Thorfinnson stated that the Commission made presentations to the Minnetonka and Maple Grove City Councils. Minnetonka council members had several questions. Only one question was asked at Maple Grove. Allendorf stated that the presentation went very well in Minnetonka. II. Review of Minutes. Opatz and Hovland arrived, forming a quorum. Opatz noted that he was at the last meeting but wasn't on the list of attendees. He motioned to approve the minutes with an addition of his name to the list. Allendorf seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. III. Other Business. Hovland discussed the Transportation AlIiance's Washington Fly -In. It was his first attendance at one of these events and he found it to be productive. 494 is a high priority in Commissioner Tinklenberg's mind as well as for our congressional delegation. It seems that the 494 Corridor Commission will be able to meet its goals more quickly than we expected if support for our efforts continues. Senator Wellstone was there but he was careful and guarded with what he said. Grams stated that some TEA -21 funds might be available. Ramstad also said that 494 was a top priority. Phil Riveness and other Metropolitan Council members were there during the meeting with Congressman Ramstad, and all said 494 is a very important project. Rep. Tom Workman (IR - Chanhassen) suggested that the commission look at funding 494 though bonding measures, and feels that 494 and 212 are a package with similar difficulties. Gutoske asked if there were any other corridor groups there? Hovland responded that the North Star Corridor group was also there but that they are more focused on heavy rail. Commissioner Tinklenberg would like to focus on corridors and their relationship to the economy of Minnesota. Hovland stated that the approach MnDOT is using for transit is as another option improving the competitiveness of our region rather than as a driving restriction. Lindahl asked if he is preparing an economic strategy. Hovland responded that one has not been prepared yet. ZO'd b60b069ZI9 ONI`MVI d6C=C0 66-90-LnC Thorfinnson stated that they are using strategic partnerships to address traffic issues and that a new head engineer, Doug Weiszhaar, is examining ways to speed up the process to build projects that have been programmed. MnDOT is evolving into a multi -modal, inclusive agency. Thorfinnson recapped the meeting between the 494 Corridor Commission, Commissioner Tinklenberg and Dick Stehr. Tinklenberg understands that not increasing capacity on 494 will have a negative impact on the metro area and the state. The Commission asked for infrastructure improvements in the Golden Triangle to use as an incentive for the businesses to form and do TDM initiatives with a TMA. Our strategy is to develop relationships with the Congressional Delegation and MnDOT and then to go to them with a wish list of improvements. Shallbetter asked if this is a different wish list than the CMAQ funding list. Thorfinnson said that this list will focus more on capacity issues than HOV improvements but may overlap with the CMAQ prioritization process. Hovland stated that there are other funding mechanisms available, including firewall funds that are collected through taxes but not put into the general fund. There are currently $2.8 billion in these funds for highway construction. It is possible to ask for a discretionary grant request or special corridor designation. However, these funds are subtracted from the state allocation, which causes problems with MnDOT. Lindahl asked what will be funded over the next five years on 494. Thorfinnson responded that the Corridor Commission should look for a maximum of $100 million in projects. Raduenz stated that the new estimates for 494 reconstruction are $1.2 billion for the portion from the river to 1-394 and that does not include right of way acquisition. By prioritizing $100 million worth of projects, the Corridor Commission is more likely to have support and concurrence over time. Hovland stated that another potential source of funding is as a demonstration project. Thorfinnson said that MnDOT is reluctant to do demonstration projects because they do not follow their build plans and can create problems, like at the 169/494 interchange. Raduenz agreed and stated that MnDOT prefers to have a prioritized plan that they fund rather than demonstration projects. Shallbetter stated that changing the existing TEA -21 appropriations will be difficult and that lobbying to influence the next appropriation will be easier. Thorfinnson said that one strategy will be to stress the importance of 494 to the economic conditions of the region and the state. Thorfinnson stated that the meetings with the city councils will proceed with Hovland and Raduenz presenting to the Edina City Council. Plymouth is set for July, and Bloomington for August 31. There is no date currently for Richfield or Eden Prairie. Lindahl will set up a date for the Eden Prairie meeting. Thorfinnson attended the Southwest Metro Transit Hub's Grand Opening. There was a good turnout, with music and food available. Lindahl said that Len Simich of Southwest Metro Transit was speaking to the Metropolitan Council and that there is money available for transit services. Raduenz recapped the Transit Providers Subcommittee meeting. They met to look at service provision along the corridor. Each of the Opt -Out providers, Metro Transit, and Metro Commuter Services attended. They developed a list of service criteria focusing on suburb -to - suburb service and identified geographic areas that are in need of services. At the next meeting £O'd b60b069Z19 ONI`UVI d6£=£O 66-90-Lne _f. ?3 the transit providers will look at how to provide services to these areas and who will provide them. There is more work to do but the group has established a process. Shallbetter discussed the 2003 and 2004 CMAQ allocations. There was a proposed solicitation for 2003 to 2004 that has been delayed. The Met Council has suggested limiting the allocation to a one year program, 2003, and to add funds remaining from previous solicitations for a one-year mega -solicitation. They are also proposing to change things procedurally to apply the criteria of liveable communities and regional blueprint. If the TAB accepts these proposals, the Met Council will announce the solicitation in July and solicitation will conclude in September, followed by approvals in February. There is more money in CMAQ this year, up from $4 to $16 million, but the Met Council is proposing to use $3 million for LRT land developments and additional funds for operating LRT. Raduenz asked what will happen if the TAB does not agree to the Met Council proposals? Shallbetter stated that there will be more discussion in that case but that the Met Council will not be able to make a unilateral decision since CMAQ criteria require input from local elected officials. Raduenz stated that 494 and other TMOs are working on a proposal for a joint application for CMAQ funds for operations. Raduenz stated that the engineers and transit providers have narrowed down their "wish list" to five projects with one possible additional project. They may try to advance one or more projects within the next year. Opatz stated that the Maple Grove City Council approved Maple Grove Transit to work with SRF to develop a hub. The hub will cost up to $6 million. Shallbetter stated that not all the projects will be funded and that he expects there to be three or five times more funds requested than are available. Raduenz stated that the Corridor Commission will target the local Met Council representatives and meet with Ted Mondale to discuss these priorities. Raduenz stated that recently the Corridor Commission and traffic issues on 494 have been getting a lot of attention in the press. Lori Blake wrote an article for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and there is an article distributed to the Sun Current newspapers. IV. Treasurer's Report. Raduenz provided an expense account report, showing expenditures for May and June. Most expenditures were for the fly -in. Bruce DeJong at Minnetonka did not provide a treasurer's report. Raduenz stated that the round -table discussion that the group had suggested for June will work better in late August when more of the congressional delegation is in town. Commissioner Tinklenberg also wants to attend, and local elected officials will be invited as well. It will be more of an informal discussion than a formal presentation. V. I494 Corridor Commission/Met Council Contract. Thorfinnson asked about the 494 contract. Raduenz responded that she met with Clarence to talk about the contract. She agreed to provide more details for the work plan, create a timetable, and show deliverables. This needs to be provided to Clarence as soon as possible because the Corridor Commission has not been reimbursed for six months. There isn't enough money in the Corridor Commission's funds to sustain it for the three months it will take to have a contract signed by the Met Council. Hovland asked what the changes were from the previous contract. Raduenz stated that the contract is dictated by the application for funding. The tasks are already outlined but need to be more b0'd b60b069ZI9 ONI`UC1 dOb=£O 66-90-LnC detailed. Thorfinnson stated that he is concerned about the time line, and that Nacho Diaz at the Metropolitan Council said that most of the problem comes from the legal department at the Met Council. Shallbetter stated that the legal department will not begin working on a contract until there is approval from the Met Council. Gutoske asked why this had not been initiated six to nine months ago? Shallbetter replied that the management plan needs to have more content than it currently has. Allendorf asked if the Corridor Commission is out of money? Raduenz responded that there are enough funds for three or four more months worth of work. (Since the meeting date, the current balance of the 494 Corridor Commission account is approximately $51,000.00) Thorfinnson stated that he and Raduenz would complete the work plan and then work with the local Met Council representatives to speed up the process. Vt. Golden Triangle Regional TDM Demonstration Project. Thorfinnson asked Shallbetter to describe the Golden Triangle demonstration project. Shallbetter passed out an outline that describes the project. The Met Council has looked at how to impact a corridor using TDM. MnDOT and others in region have looked at impacts of TDM. The sheet provided is what has been outlined with MnDOT. Measurement will be a key component of the program. Participants include MnDOT, which wants to be heavily involved, the Met Council, Metro Commuter services, which will provide TDM programs, and any TMO in the designated area. MnDOT and the Met Council went through a process to identify the area, and the Golden Triangle met many of the criteria for the demonstration. Mulcahy will be responsible for leading MCS efforts. Shallbetter conducted a windshield survey of the area and noted several traffic circulation issues in the Golden Triangle. Thorfinnson asked if this was a Met Council project? Shallbetter responded that it is a joint project between the Met Council, MCS, and MnDOT, with MCS as the lead agency. Lindahl asked what would happen if there was no buy -in from the public sector. Shallbetter responded that they have not decided at what point it would not be worth it to proceed, but that if there was no interest they would probably chose not to do the demonstration project. Lindahl asked if MnDOT was driving the emphasis on polling and surveying, and whether they were willing to pay for infrastructure improvements as incentives. Shallbetter replied that he wasn't sure, and that providing access into and out of the Golden Triangle will not solve capacity issues on TH 169 or 62. Lindahl responded that ramp meters help to create capacity. Shallbetter suggested that an effort in the area might allow for control of work hours among employees and so the flow in and out of the area. Opatz asked when the demonstration would begin. Thorfinnson responded that the Corridor Commission is in favor of creating TMOs to manage the process. Clarence and Mulcahy stated that new services will be available with potential for flexibility. A fleet of vanpools might provide better service than transit. Raduenz stated that it will be important to offer other services than existing products, particularly ones that address daycare needs and offer creative incentives. Shallbetter stated that he assumes the Corridor Commission will participate in the demonstration. Lindahl stated that there are issues regarding the structure of the TMA as well, including who it reports to and how it is funded. Shallbetter stated that one idea was to have Mulcahy based in the Golden Triangle area so that he is accessible to the employers. Lindahl stated that he hopes this SO'd b60b069ZT9 ONI`?!C-t dib=£O 66-90-Lne demonstration project will be replicated in other areas. Gutoske asked how the Corridor Commission will be involved. Thorfinnson responded that he felt the Corridor Commission should be the lead agency with responsibility for coordinating the efforts. The Corridor Commission has not been asked to participate up to this point in the process. Raduenz stated that the Corridor Commission has already been involved with employers, employees, and developers in the area and has worked closely with MnDOT to develop infrastructure improvements that will enhance TDM. In addition, the data from employers in the area already exists. There is a danger that MCS will not be able to implement anything creative in the area that will change behavior. Another possibility would be to present scenarios to the employers in the area and have them decide which one best meets their needs. Hovland suggested that the TMA in the area be a subset of the Corridor Commission, and that the Corridor Commission should lead efforts in the area. Thorfinnson stated that he felt strongly that the Corridor Commission should take the lead and that Southwest Metro Transit currently has two grants to devote to any demonstration project in the area. VII. Summer 494 Roundtable Date/Arrangements. LIR staff reported that they were unable to schedule a date for a 494 Roundtable with local elected officials, Chamber of Commerce personnel and business leaders for June 21" due to the calendars of several MN Congressmen. UR staff will focus on scheduling a roundtable in late August or early September, 1999. Date, location, and time TBA. VIII. Next Meeting/Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 10:50 a.m. The next regularly - scheduled meeting will be on Wednesday, August 11, 1999 at 8:30 a.m. at the Southwest Metro Transit Hub. 90'd b60b069ZT9 ONI`Nrl dZb=£O 66-90-LnC . elm creek Watershed Management Commission EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Judie A.

Ebert did not own the property at the time the replacement plan was approved by the Commission He was contacted by phone and apprised of available options. Since he has surplus credits, he indicated he would apply to the Commission for an amendment of the replacement plan to exclude the lot north of Gleason Road. With the amended replacement plan he will have 1.57 acres of new wetland credits. D. 99-018 Kempfert Violation, Corcoran. A cease and desist order was issued by the DNR and the owner was required to remove manure fill from the wetland to an upland location. The restoration is completed E. Administration. The Commission will review its WCA policy as it pertains to requiring copies of deed recordings. VL Project Reviews. A. 98-073 Rice Glenn, Maple Grove. District commented on the plan on April 20 and received revisions on May 3. Staff recommended approval of the stormwater plan contingent upon favorable review of the revised plan. Motion by Kujawa, second by Faulkner to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. B. 99-019 Hennepin Parks Horse Trail and Diamond Creek Culvert, Dayton. District received a Combined Project Notification re the extension of a culvert on Diamond Creek. Project will place 45 cubic yards of fill within the floodplain. District forwarded comments to Hennepin Parks. The City has not requested any action yet. Staff recommended approval contingent upon favorable review of a revised mitigation plan. Motion by Faulkner, second by Kujawa to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. C. 99-020 Elm Creek Knoll (Gary Boster), Medina. This is a 7 -unit condo development at the intersection of Hamel and Pinto Roads. Proposed plan places fill in the floodplain. District did not receive adequate information and has no recommendation at this time. Elm Creek Minutes May 12.1999 page 3 D. 99-021 Anderson Iron, Hassan. This is a 6 -acre commercial development on James Road. Township is planning to build a regional pond for this Industrial Park. HCD requested revisions for stormwater treatment by a pond, with the understanding that the pond can be eliminated once the regional pond is functional. Staff recommended approval of the stormwater plan contingent upon favorable review of the revised plan. Motion by Klise, second by Bromander to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. E. 99-022 Stormwater Impact on Wetland 27-2889 Rogers. This is the subwatershed hydrologic analysis of northeast Rogers. Commission has allowed some development in Rogers contingent upon the City's promise to analyze and upgrade their stormwater system in that subwatershed. HCD is reviewing the findings and will have a recommendation at the June meeting. F. 99-023 Northwest Lawn & . Landscape, Dayton. District reviewed the erosion and sediment control plan and requested revisions. No action is required at this time. G. 99-024 Robert Ledin, Hassan. As part of USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Ledin needs to build a dike in the Crow River floodplain. He will excavate a shallow depression into a wildlife pond and use the spoils material to fill the dike. The project will move about 50 cubic yards of fill within the floodplain. (No fill is brought in.) About 80% of the property (50 -acre lot) will be converted into native grasses, shallow water areas and trees. District believes that the overall benefits of creating such a large habitat area overweigh the replacement of fill in the floodplain. With a minimum footprint, the dike will be about 2,000 square feet. The fill is eligible for WCA exemptions due to restored wetlands and de minimis. Staff recommended approval of the project, based on the rationale presented. Motion by Faulkner, second by Hass to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. H. 99-025 Begin Oaks Golf .Course, Plymouth. The site is adjacent to Mud Lake, which is a Protected Lake in the Watershed Plan. Treatment of stormwater is required. District suggested the use of the irrigation pond as a treatment pond. Since the golf course has agreed to use non - phosphorus fertilizer, the nutrient loading will be significantly less than that at conventional golf courses. The plan also leaves a 75 feet no -mow buffer at the edge of the lake. Staff recommended approval of the water quality treatment plan pending favorable review of the revised plan. Motion by Faulkner, second by Klise to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. L 99-026 Mallard Estates 0 Addition, Rogers. Site is located on northeast corner of Rogers. District approved the erosion and sediment control plan on May 3, 1999. J. 99-027 Champlin Property (Pine Ridge Estates), Champlin. This is a 41 -acre single -home residential development at the southwest comer of Champlin. District commented on the erosion and sediment control plans. Since the City has not approved this plan for development yet, the Commission will table action on this project until it receives a formal request from the City. K. 99-028 Dalton Commons, Maple Grove. This is a 56 -acre commercial PUD just west of the new Target store (southwest corner of Dunkirk and CR30). District needs to approve the stormwater plan because of change of zoning from agricultural to commercial. The plan received is preliminary and does not include a stonnwater management plan. District will send comments to the city. District has no recommendations at this time. Elm Creek Minutes May 12,1999 page 4 L. 99-029 Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Maple Grove. This is a 32 -acre site at the intersection of CR101 and Bass Lake Road on the west side of the City. Half of the site is in the Cook Lake Drainage Basin, which is a critical lake drainage area. Commission requires a stormwater treatment plan. The preliminary plan shows ponds but there are no design specifications. District has no recommendation at this time. M. 99-030 New Life Christian Center, Hassan. The site is located at the northwest corner of CRI 17 and Trail Haven Road. About half of the 19 -acre lot is DNR protected water and North Fork Rush Creek floodplain. It appears that the wetlands and floodplain are avoided. The site is zoned for agricultural use according to the watershed plan. District has requested revisions to the stormwater and erosion control plan. Staff recommended approval of the stormwater plan contingent on favorable review of the revised plan. Motion by Bromander, second by Klise to approve the recommendation of the District Office. Motion carried. N. 99-031 Roalstad Hills, Corcoran. District is reviewing the plan. No action is needed at this time. VII. Other Business. A. 98-055 Champlin Storm Water Management Plan. Durgunoglu has met with City Staff to discuss Commission concerns re enforcement of policies and the City's need to adopt ordinances re water quality issues.

Vote. 3 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. (Commissioner Berkowitz abstained.) 5 Consent Agenda 6 Public Hearings A LEN BUSCH ROSES. (99045) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by Len Busch Roses for an Interim Use Permit to place 25,000 cubic feet of fill on the Len Busch Roses property to complete the grading and filling required to prepare the site for the construction of future greenhouses located at 4045 Highway 101 North. The application includes the filling of 18,000 square feet of wetland, which is less than the 2 -acre exemption allowance by the Wetland Conservation Act for agricultural uses. Planner Rask gave an overview of the June 17, 1999 staff report. Commissioner Reinhardt asked why agricultural uses are exempt from building permit requirements. Planner Rask responded that agricultural parcels are typically larger and therefore, there are not the same health and safety risks. Commissioner Reinhardt asked if there weren't safety issues with agricultural buildings. Planner Rask responded affirmatively. Commissioner Reinhardt asked how the proposed reguiding affected this site. Planning Supervisor Senness responded that it would have no affect as the site is zoned FRD and would remain so until development other than the present use was proposed. Commissioner Reinhardt asked if Condition 8 regarding the limitation on hauling during the time road restrictions are in place didn't need a more specific date. Planner Rask Draft Planning Commission Minutes June 23, 1999 Page #94 responded that this was added as a reminder, that roads are posted and that the restrictions are common knowledge to people affected by them. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the request. MOTION by Commissioner Berkowitz, seconded by Commissioner Stein recommending approval of an Interim Use Permit to allow the placement of approximately 25,000 cubic yards of fill on the site of Len Busch Roses, located at 4045 Highway 101 North, subject to the conditions in the resolution prepared by staff. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. B CITY OF PLYMOUTH. (99039) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by the City of Plymouth for a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment related to temporary, outdoor events and sales in non- residential zoning districts. Planner Lindahl gave an overview of the June 17, 1999 staff report. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the request. Chairman Stulberg asked if the intent of the change was to allow each tenant in a 20 - tenant building one event or to allow one tenant 20 events. Planner Lindahl responded that it was the former. Planning Supervisor Senness suggested that the language in the ordinance be revised to state: "However, each tenant in a multi -tenant building shall be permitted one (1) special event per year." Chairman Stulberg asked if the revisions needed to define the term "carnival." Planner Lindahl responded that a definition for "carnival" is included in the Definition section of the City Code, but could also be added to the Zoning Ordinance. MOTION by Commissioner Stoebner, seconded by Commissioner Reinhardt recommending approval of 1) an ordinance amending the text of Chapter 21 of the City Code, also known as the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance, with the modification to Subdivision 8.(a)(3) to state that each tenant in a multi -tenant building shall be permitted one (1) special event per year and 2) a resolution containing findings of fact for amending the Zoning Ordinance text, subject to the conditions in the resolution prepared by staff.

We at the City are well aware of the traffic that the Wayzata High School has generated and as you mentioned, one of the major routes to this school is Hwy 101. Since this is a County road, anything that is done affecting this roadway must receive County approval. The City had asked the County to do an engineering analysis of the Medina Rd/Hwy 101 intersection to determine if an all -way stop or a traffic signal warrant was met. The County concluded that traffic warrants were not met although there were relatively short time periods,such as the times you mentioned, when traffic is quite heavy on Hwy 101. The County has begun preparing, through the use of a consulting engineer, plans for upgrading Co Rd 101 to accomodate the current and future traffic demands. The new roadway will have four lanes, two in each direction, and possibly a median to provide for left-tumers.The County is planning on having a public informational meeting on some of these concepts late this month, possibly on July 28th or 29th but this has not yet been cofirmed. You could check with me in a week or two if you are interested in attending. This improvement is scheduled to be underway next summer and the City is requesting that a traffic signal at Medina Rd be included with the project. You also had a concern with getting across Hwy55 as a pedestrian or a bicyclist. I would agree that the traffic on Hwy 55 is quite heavy and appears to travel rather quickly. As you note, there are traffic signals at the three intersections you mentioned and eventually the green light will appear for the cross streets. The pedestrian still must be aware of vehicular traffic. I wish I had the answer to the "red light runners" but I don't. Constructing grade separated walkways is very costly so there needs to be a high demand with no "good" alternatives. In consideration of constructing walkways over Hwy 55 in Plymouth, I don't think the demand is sufficient to justify the cost. Also, the design would have to accomodate the handicapped which means the walkway would be much longer than simply walking across the roadway at ground level after traffic has cleared and the light is green. This is not to say that at some point in the future a pedestrian bridge over Hwy 55 might be justified as demand increases and traffic continues to increase as well. Hopefully, I've addressed your questions and if you have additional questions or concerns, please contact me. Internet Contact From: Mike Hulett [HULET001 @ mail.genmills.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 30,1999 12:41 PM To: #contact@ ci.plymouth.mn.us' Subject: County Rd 101 & Medina Rd As I was sitting here reading the report from USA Today article (6/30/99) about how intersections accounted for 40% of all traffic accidents in 1997 resulting in 7300 deaths, I could not help but think of the current situation at the intersection of County Road 101 and Medina Road. Since moving to the area over six years ago, as I am sure you know, it has become more and more increasingly difficult to negotiate this intersection. Since the new high school has opened it is so difficult to enter on to 101 that I have found myself traveling through neighboring developments just to get out on to 101, thus increasing traffic in these residential areas. And I know I'm not the only one. With the lower elevation it the road in front of Greenwood Elementary it makes it very difficult to judge the north bound track coming over this rise. Especially if they are traveling the allotted 50 MPH speed limit. One day in the morning during the time the students were traveling to school, I waited over 8 minutes to make a left tum from Medina Rd onto County Rd 101. Last week at 5:15 PM I had to wait 6 minutes at this intersection for a safe opportunity to cross. 1 have heard that there are plans in place to upgrade County Rd 101 but I also heard that these changes and upgrades would not take place until 2002. 1 also heard that the developer that is currently developing the property at the northwest comer of this intersection had proposed to add tum lanes at this intersection as part of the requirement to get the development approved. The problem is that the volume of traffic, in my opinion, is exceeding the "safety" tolerance even with turn lanes. The current proposals to change the golf course and Len Busch to residential areas, and with the chance of adding additional commercial buildings to the area already along Medina Road as well as across Highway 55 at Pheony Lane and Old Rockford Road will only compound this problem even more. I have no idea what can be done to help this problem but please take these concerns seriously and see if anything can be done. I know you may have to work with other government agencies because it involves county and state roads but it has become a major concern for myself and my neighbors. Maybe you should consider some type of stop gap until the upgrade to County Road 101 is completed. Things like maybe lowering the speed limit on this area of 101 to match the rest of the road or a more favorable idea for us would be to install temporary stop signs at this intersection with the idea of having either permanent signs or lights at the intersection on the upgrade to the road is complete. Whatever you can do has to be better than the current situation. During the school year I know the bus drivers trying to leave Greenwood Elementary in the afternoons had a very difficult time because of traffic from the high school. Also, as a side note, I really appreciate the way the city has taken the upper hand in developing the City Center area of Plymouth. It continues to become a benefit to the viability of the city as additional attractions are added to the area. My concern is again traffic and safety in getting to this area. As I see it the largest part of the city population in this area is south of Highway 55 while the area is north of Highway 55. 1 encourage my children to take advantage of the facilities available in the area but at the ages of 15 and 13 they are not old even to drive to the area. They are however responsible enough to either walk or bike to the area — if they were allowed to. I sit at he intersections of Highway 55 & 101, 55 & County Rd 24, or 55 and Vicksburg and on any given day will see cars racing along at what appears to be much higher than the posted 55MPH speed limit and run -- through the lights as they try to beat the yellow. Most of the time the light has already turned red before they cross. I am not about to let my children try to cross Highway 55 at any time. So much to their disliking they have not been able to enough the show or Lifetime as much as they would like this summer. The city has done allot to make these facilities available to their citizens but I believe a large part of our younger population lose out at times because it's just not safe for them to get there. As I drive down Highway 3941 have noticed that there are two "walkways" built over the highway to allow the public safe access from one side to another. Has there been any consideration and/or discussions with the other government agencies that might need to be involved to maybe do they same in this situation? Not only could it benefit the businesses in the area but more importantly allow our younger, responsible population safe access to the area. Thank you for your time and consideration.

June 29, 1999 r 1 JUfd :, „ t" Honorable Joy.Tierney . 1�9J Mayor, City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth'Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447. Dear Mayor Tierney: As you may recall, the director for our debut production, Ron Solomon, contacted you last fall concerning storage of his personal set pieces in the city watertower located at; Hwy. 55 and Cty. Road101- At that time you and I had discussions regarding these set pieces and their use by the Plymouth Westside Players (PWP). In those discussions, I indicated to you that Mr. Solomon was an independent contractor for. PWP and that his connection to our group'was in his capacity as director ofMeetMe,In St. Louis. When the set pieces were originally toyed in the watertower (June 1998) Mr. Solomom led us to believe'that these pieces had been donated to our group from the Plymouth Middle School as they did .not have he space to store them and they`were going to; be disposed of. This information, as we discovered last November, was false when he informed us that the pieces belong to him and the middle school: 'He.indicated to us atthat timeahat unless he was involved in our production . we would need to `rent these. pieces from him and the middle school We would like to. let you know that.Mr'. Solomon did interview for our director position for our 1999 production, but 1e was not selected.. Use of his set pieces byPWP is contingent with Mr Solomonalso being involved in our production(s). Therefore, none of the set pieces currently in storage will be used by PWP for our. 1999 production. The-PWP Board of Directors does not feel that it is a fiduciary responsibility: to rent these pieces when. the. funds can go to purchasing materials to build our. own. With our 1999 production we are beginning the construction our own set pieces for this and future productions. • PWP will be -in need of a storage location for these newly constructed set pieces, as we have no permanent home for our theatre group. As you are aware our use of Central Middle School is on an availability basis. only i Jean Lyons From: Eric Blank Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 1999 10:29 AM To: 'doshea @ pti-sales.com' Cc: 'sharstad@excite.com'; Jean Lyons Subject: Ferndale North have received your letter and your e-mail. In your letter you raise many valid points that will need to be thoroughly reviewed and discussed in order to properly evaluate this request. This came to the city by way of a petition from the Ferndale North residents. Approximately 108 petitions were received in my office with 77% indicating an interest in having a playground at this location. Based on this neighborhood interest, we have decided to proceed with further discussion on this issue. I anticipate that the Park Commission, Planning Commission and City Council will all be discussing this in the near future. The first meeting is scheduled before the Park and Recreation Advisory Commisson on Thursday, Aug. 12, at 7 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chambers. I will be sending a letter to all 174 Ferndale North residents informing them of this meeting and requesting that they either attend the meeting or communicate in writing their thoughts on this issue. Ultimately this decision can only be determined by the City Council with input from the Park Commission, Planning Commission and neighborhood residents. Thank you for taking the time to write. If I can be of further assistance, I can be reached at 509-5201. Eric Blank Daniel P. & Mary E. O'Shea 520 Zircon Lane No Plymouth, MN 55447 612475-0946 City of Plymouth Mayor Joy Tierney 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Subject: Ferndale North "Natural Park" Dear Ms. Tierney, As a resident of the Ferndale North Development we are very concerned over the possibility of changing the "Nature Park Preserve" into a "Play Park". Why would you want to take a beautiful park that our children can play in while learning about nature and fill it full of what: grass, benches, swings, slides, etc. We have lived at 520 Zircon Lane since 1989 and during that time our three children still play in this park and never once did they ask, "Why can't they put in a swing set?" They have many fond memories of playing in the park along with nature. In this development if a person wants a swing set or slide they can place it in the privacy of there own lot. The lots in this neighborhood are large enough for a family to play in. In addition Plymouth has done an outstanding job in many fine parks though out the community. If a resident of Ferndale North wants to have a picnic in a park with swings, benches, "Water", and space it is -but a short drive to Parkers Lake. How many "Nature Park Preserves" are there in Plymouth in comparison to the number of "Play Parks"? When discussing this proposal we ask that you consider what you are doing: "Changing an existing park that over the years has given the children a place to play in a natural environment into a "Play Park". Wouldn't it be nice to leave our children something of natural beauty? I am interested in your comments and reasoning behind considering such a change. We can be reach by mail, phone, fax (612-404-1703) or e-mail doshea@pti-sales.com. We wait to hear from you. Best regards, 77, Daniel P. & Mary E.
