DATE: June 6, 2006
SUBJECT: Twin Cities Hospital Negotiations with SEIU Local 113
Dear Mayor Johnson,
As the CEOs of five local healthcare organizations, we want to update you on the ongoing progress of
talks between our hospitals and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 113.
Our hospitals have had a relationship with SEIU Local 113 for more than 50 years. Over those 50
years, our employees and our hospitals have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship based on
professionalism, trust and respect. Through this relationship, our hospitals have been recognized
both locally and nationally for our ability to provide safe, high-quality health care for our patients at a
reasonable cost. Unfortunately, these most recent Local 113 talks in the Twin Cities reflect the latest
in a nationwide string of SEIU confrontations in which SEIU's national agenda takes precedence over
local workplace issues.
As you may recall from previous updates, contract talks between our hospitals and SEIU began in
December 2005 and, after 15 face-to-face meetings, concluded on March 9 when our hospitals
presented our best offer to SEIU. In building this offer, we listened to our local employees and
presented an offer that met their needs. The offer includes an 11 percent wage increase over the
three-year contract, a pension increase of 19 percent, increased ways for employees to provide input
into the workplace, and increased family medical insurance premium contributions to 75 percent. This
puts our workers among the top tier of employees in this market for health insurance coverage. This
offer is reasonable and reflects our marketplace.
Tragically, this offer and our employees are taking a backseat to SEIU's national agenda. SEIU's
pattern across the country is simple: Threaten employers with high-priced corporate campaigns
fueled by members' dues dollars if the employer doesn't agree with SEIU's national organizing
agenda. The goal of a corporate campaign is to wage economic warfare and damage the reputation
of anyone who does not give into SEIU's bullying tactics.
As employers, we are concerned about addressing our employees' needs. We are not interested in
SEIU's national agenda and have told Local 113 this many times over the past six months. This
national agenda, which includes union organizing, is not a mandatory subject of bargaining. In short,
SEIU's national agenda is to recruit more members and gain more dues dollars — no matter what the
cost to local employees and hospitals. At the June 2 bargaining session, we again told SEIU its
national agenda had no place in these talks and that SEIU should allow our employees a secret ballot
vote on the contract offer.
I5
Twin Cities Hospital Negotiations with SEIU Local 113
June 6, 2006
For nearly three months, SEIU has denied our employees the right to vote by secret ballot at their
local work sites. Secret ballot votes are the norm in most unions. They are the practical way for
unions to best determine whether a contract offer should be accepted. Our employees deserve a
chance to decide for themselves on the offer.
It appears that instead of holding a secret ballot vote for its members, SEIU national agents are
moving forward with corporate campaigns against our local hospitals. SEIU has already spent tens of
thousands of members' dues dollars on an advertising campaign, meetings, informational pickets and
other tactics. We expect this to continue. We also expect to see an increase in informational
picketing by SEIU and other tactics meant to discredit our hospitals.
Our hospitals will continue to serve our patients and our communities during the informational
picketing and the other disruptions SEIU will conduct. We will continue to be the safest place in
America for health care. Last month, HealthGrades, an independent health care rating company,
ranked Minnesota hospitals number one in the nation — the safest hospitals in the America for health
care.

Proposed law could add cable choices but doom local programs

Proposed law could add cable choices but doom local programs
Congress aims to cut cable TV bills
By MEGGEN LINDSAY and JASON HOPPIN
Pioneer Press
Watching your kids' sports games on television and tuning in to your local city council meeting could become a practice
of the past.
Twin Cities leaders warn that legislation wending through Congress guts funding for public access television and
undermines local control of the most parochial of news outlets.
The House of Representatives passed a version of the bill late Thursday, and the Senate could vote on a similar provision
later this month. The biggest telecommunications legislation in a decade, the proposal would open the way for telephone
companies to more easily enter the subscription television market.
If it is signed into federal law, metro cable commissions say they no longer would receive enough money from cable
television providers to deliver local programming and public access shows.
Underpinning the controversy is the concept of public access TV as a right, as part of the promise of cable television,
particularly for disenfranchised and underrepresented populations.
"This (legislation) would do great harm to local communities and to the very concept of community," Eagan spokesman
Tom Garrison said. "The impact especially would be felt in Minnesota, which has a prolific history of public -access
television."
Local officials have written council resolutions and launched letter -writing campaigns to area lawmakers. Aimed at
spurring competition, the legislation would create a national system of video franchises in an effort to give consumers
more choices among cable TV providers.
Nontraditional cable pro-viders — such as telephone companies — are eager to crack the cable business through
broadband services, and local cable franchises usually compete only with satellite cable providers such as the Dish
Network.
But Rep. Fred Upton, R -Mich, who heads the House telecommunications subcommittee, estimated that people could save
$30 to $40 each month if given a choice of video services. Many Democrats, however, have said the measure did too
little to ensure broadband services would be extended to lower-income and rural areas.
Opponents of the proposal are unhappy because national franchises could void the local cable contracts through which
public, educational and government programming is produced, according to community cable organizations. Under those
contracts, local commissions negotiate who gets cable, funding for public programming and how a cable fiber network is
deployed.
Local cable commissions also worry about what they have labeled the "cherry -picking" factor, by which cable operators
could compete to serve wealthy neighborhoods and skip over poorer areas.
"My prediction is that the bills are so bad for many Twin Cities operations that the operations will just cease in many of
those communities," said Mike Wassenaar, executive director of the St. Paul Neighborhood Network.
SERVING NICHE AUDIENCES
Beyond government meetings and public safety announcements, local community channels also broadcast religious and
political shows and community events such as graduations, proms and parades. They also produce programs for
underrepresented segments of the population. Minneapolis, for instance, broadcasts seven weekly shows in the Somali
language. Pramod Mathur, of Eagan, has broadcast a South Asian show, Chai City, as a hobby for five years on three

public -access stations. Mathur and his wife produce 13 episodes each year as an Indian news magazine, featuring local
chefs, artists and performers.
They have followed the federal debate with apprehension. "We've been able to do this show because there was this
outlet and opportunity," he said. "We couldn't do this on a network.
"(These channels) provide an opportunity for the underserved. To me, it's not about entertainment as much as it is about
democracy." Broadcasts like the Mathurses are typically funded through fees negotiated with a cable operator. In St.
Paul, for instance, the city gets 5 percent of Comcast's gross cable TV revenues and roughly $1 million in additional so-
called PEG (public, educational and governmental) fees and other benefits.
It's those PEG dollars that will be radically cut in the metro area, where local cable commissions had negotiated favorable
agreements with the cable companies. For some other cities across the country, the new funding formula would be a
boon, however.
Wassenaar predicted an annual drop in St. Paul from $1 million to $361,000 and said the impact could reverberate even
more in the suburbs, where cable revenue is not as high.
The Burnsville Eagan Telecommunications Commission said it's looking at losing a third of its funding, from $648,000 to
$423,000.
The North Suburban Access Corp. — which represents 10 member cities, including Roseville, Mounds View and Shoreview
— is facing a revenue loss of 80 percent, or nearly $1 million annually.
The nonprofit organization's volunteer coordinator, Lori Pulkrabek, said there are about 350 people in the north suburbs
producing their own shows or helping on another.
"The cuts being discussed would dramatically change who we are and what we are able to do. We are the local, local
outlet."
LOCAL CONTROL
For those involved in community programming, the concern revolves around local control.
Under the current bills, the Federal Communications Commission would administer national franchises, which means
local commissions could lose the ability to negotiate their contract agreements. Community cable producers believe
customer complaints would be taken out of local hands.
"Currently if there's an issue, people just come to our group to get whatever resolved. Whereas, under the proposal now,
citizens would have to go before the FCC, which is just ridiculous," Pulkrabek said.
House Committee on Energy and Commerce spokesman Terry Lane said complaints would still be handled through local
authorities, however.
Although St. Paul's franchise agreement with Comcast runs through 2013, observers believe the contract would be void
once competition is introduced to the St. Paul market if the legislation became law.
House Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton, R -Tex., wrote the House version of the bill. The Senate will consider
similar legislation sponsored by Ted Stevens, R -Alaska, chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science and
Transportation.
Lane defended the bill, saying that having to negotiate individual service contracts across the nation is a barrier to
competition.
"The issue was the actual negotiations themselves," Lane said. "We think there's as many as 34,000 franchises across
the country, and that's an enormous negotiating task" for the cable companies. Wassenaar dismisses that criticism,
saying the ability to sit down with a cable provider benefits communities.
So why is the government doing it7
"The first thing that we're talking about on this is cheaper cable TV," Lane said. "That is essentially what the motivator is,

SUBJECT: Medicine Lake City Council Meeting
On June 5, 2006, I attended the City of Medicine Lake City Council Meeting held at the
Medicine Lake City Hall. This meeting was continued from the May 1, 2006 City
Council meeting which focused on the proposed townhouse development on the east side
along South Shore Drive. The meeting went from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Roughly 65-70
people attended the meeting, including the City Council, Medicine Lake consultants, the
proposed development team and residents.
The consultant gave a brief overview of the report and explained that the development
team had again made a number of changes from the previous site plan based on City
Council comments. The architect went through the specific changes including the
reduction of the number of units to 26, the proposal to bury the power lines, a bike bath
around the outside of the development along South Shore Drive connected to the Luce
Line trail, a decrease in the size of the treatment pond and additional tree preservation.
Roughly 10-15 people spoke with the majority again speaking in opposition of the
proposed project. The main concerns were the opposition to multi -housing in Medicine
Lake (density), the ability to explore other commercial opportunities for the site, and
desire for open space.
The City Council echoed the citizen concern and commented that the density may still be
too high and questioned the potential loss of commercial space. They felt it should be
more of a mixed use development as shown on the master plan. They pointed out that
two-thirds of the citizens did not support the proposed development in the resident
response survey. They commented that the City Council must listen to the citizens.
They did say that the plan could possibly work in the future with additional changes.
The comprehensive plan amendment, planned unit development, rezoning and
preliminary plat was denied 3 votes to 2 votes.

Subject: Medicine Lake Townhomes—Staff Report for June S`h 2006 City Council Meeting
Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, PUD Approval and
Preliminary Plat
Date: 1 June 2006
-'- Summary of Land Use Application Request
The Medicine Lake Townhome project includes a proposal for redevelopment of the former Country House
Restaurant site and the adjacent parcels along the east side of South Shore Drive referred to as the Johangten
property. The project location is more formally described as follows:
1071S South Shore Drive and 1342 South Shore Drive legally described as Lots S through 14 and that part of lot IS,
lying North of the South 100 feet thereof, block 13, Medicine Lake Park First Division, Hennepin County, Minnesota
The total site is approximately S.38 acres.
The proposal has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and recommended for approval with
conditions. The proposal was also reviewed at the May 1" City Council meeting. No action was taken at that
meeting. The proposal has been modified based on input received through the Planning Commission public
hearing process and input from the City Council at its May 1" City Council Meeting. The modified proposal
currently consists of 26 townhome units and includes a trail along south shore drive and the burial of the
existing overhead utility lines located on the property adjacent to South Shore Drive.
The proposal has gone through a number of.modifications since first presented to the City of Medicine Lake.
These changes and concepts are summarized in' an attached chart and an accompanying narrative that
describes the change to the plan. Previous concepts have been described and illustrated in the May 1" Council
Meeting packet and accompanying staff report. The current concept is attached for your review. Included are
a site plan labeled Sheet A200 and a colored rendering of the site plan overlain on an aerial photo of the site.
The land use and zoning approvals required of this application have not changed since the original proposal.
The approvals required include the following:
1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Commercial and Mixed Use designations to Residential
PUD
2. Rezoning from B-1 Neighborhood Business District to a Residential PUD Zoning District
3. Planned Unit Development approval
4. Preliminary and Final Plat approval

Page 1
Approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires approval of 2/3 of the City Council or 4 of S votes.
All other approvals require a majority vote or 3 of S. The City has until June 9`h to take action on
this project.
Status of Project
The Planning Commission has reviewed the project at meetings held February 16, March 16 and April 20.
Detailed staff reports and attachments were prepared for these PC meetings and were made available to the
community through the City web site. An additional staff report was prepared for a possible special PC
meeting in late March that subsequently was not held. These staff reports and supporting materials were
included in the pre -council meeting packet for the May 1" City Council meeting:
Detailed minutes of each of these meetings were also taken by Chris Lentz and can provide a more detailed
account of the planning commission's deliberations on the project as well as the public comment. A
significant amount of public comment has been received relative to the project. The public comment
generally focused on concerns over density, impacts on natural resources and impacts on community
services. Staff has addressed the bulk of the public comments in a written response to questions from the
February 16`h meeting. The applicant has also attempted to respond to community concerns by modifying the
site plan and by conducting a series of open house meetings open to the public and held at French Lake
Regional Park. The meetings were held over the last several weeks.
The application has undergone a number of revisions since its original submittal. These revisions have
reduced the magnitude of the development and the overall impact to the site. The nature of the modifications
were in attempts to address concerns raised by the Planning Commission, the general public, the DNR and
consulting staff. The changes are outlined in the attached chart and narrative submitted by the developer.
DNR Review
The project requires DNR approval as it is a PUD within the Shoreland District. The applicant has been
working with the DNR area hydrologist to meet the standards of the State Shoreland district. A copy of the
latest DNR correspondence dated May 26, 2006 is attached. The DNR has rendered conditional approval of
the project based on a review of the most recent plan modifications representing a reduction in units to 26
and a reduction in impervious surface to 33.5%. The applicant reduced the density on the site and is utilizing
pavers for driveways to achieve the 33.5%. The DNR has agreed to count 40% of the paver surfaces as
impervious surface. The conditions of approval required by the DNR will also be required as part of the
developer agreement to be drafted in preparation of the final plat. This will be done following approval of
the comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, preliminary plat and PUD development plan. Review and
consideration of the final plat and PUD Final Plan will include drafts of the developer agreement stipulating
the requirements outlined in the DNR letter dated May 26, 2006,
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission at its April 20'h meeting recommended the City Council approve the requests for
comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning and that these actions be contingent on required reviews by
adjacent communities and on approval of a final PUD agreement. The recommendation was passed on a vote
of 4 in favor and 2 opposed. The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the Planned Unit
Development/ Preliminary Plat with the noted conditions as stated in the April 20 PC staff report. This
approval was also passed on a vote of 4 in favor and 2 opposed.

The Planning Commission discussed at length the planning process and community involvement. A
recommendation was made that a public meeting be coordinated to enable a more productive dialogue
regarding the project to be held with the community and not at a structured public City Council or Planning
Commission meeting. This effort should be coordinated with the City Council and the meeting should be
facilitated to ensure a meaningful dialogue.
Background .
In July of 2005, the City completed a master plan for the area around South Shore Drive from the Luce Line
Trail to the City limits on both sides of South Shore Drive. The Master Plan called for an attached residential
- land use pattern along with limited retail services for the site at 10715 South Shore Drive also known as the
Country House site. The Master Plan was accepted by the City Council as a guide for future redevelopment
of the South Shore Drive Area. The Comprehensive Plan was not amended at the time the South Shore Drive
Master Plan was accepted by the City Council. Implementation of the master plan land use concepts require
amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City because the current land use designations call for
commercial uses on the northern portion of the site and mixed use on the southern portion of the site.
In late 2005, the applicant approached the City to begin exploring redevelopment of the site. The original
concept presented to the City focused on the Country House site and included attached "greathouse" type
structures and a 3 story condo structure. The original application included roughly 32 units on 2.68 acres or
roughly 12 units per acre. In the early discussions with the applicant, it was noted that a density of 12 units
per acre exceeded what was envisioned in the master plan.
Over the winter the applicant revised the plans and incorporated the Johangten property into the
development. The result was the reduction in density but a preservation of a similar number of units than
originally proposed. The condo component also was taken out of the mix. The submission in February of
2006 included 33 units of townhomes.
After additional discussion and deliberation, the plan was further reduced to its current status. An accounting
of the various plan renditions and subsequent changes is provided in the attached chart and narrative as
provided by the applicant.
Staff Comments
A number of key areas were addressed in the review of the application by consulting staff. These points are as
follows:
Density
The project in its current condition includes 26 units proposed on 5.38 acres for a gross density of 4.8 units
per acre. This density is consistent with the density assumed in the Master Plan.
Hard Surface Cover
The plan that was recommended for approval from the Planning Commission had roughly 39.6% hard
surface coverage (land cover that does not allow water to infiltrate into the ground.) The Planning
City Council Report on Medicine Lake Torvnhomes Project
June 1, 2006
Page 4
Commission's recommendation, however, is conditioned on the project receiving approval from the DNR.
The DNR state shoreland regulations provide guidelines for regulating shoreland development through the
PUD process. The DNR's most recent correspondence indicates that the project has reached significant
consistency with DNR guidelines for cluster and planned unit developments.
Open Space
The project preserves the southern portion of the site as the most natural open space area. Total open space
and green space on the site plan is estimated at 66.5% of the site or roughly 3.58 acres. This area represents a
portion of the driveway area that is proposed to be done with pavers which allows for infiltration of storm
water.
Park Dedication and Trails
The project does not include a public park component, however it is Iodated within close proximity to a
regional trail which makes it accessible to nearby park facilities. Staff is recommending a park dedication
amount for this project that has yet to be determined. This park dedication could be used towards fulfilling
the master plan and comprehensive plan objective of preserving lands along the west side of South Shore
Drive as permanent open space. Park dedication remains a condition of approval and shall be established and
paid for at time of final plat.
The application has added a trail along the east side of south shore drive. We will be coordinating with Three
Rivers Park District for direction as to connections of this trail segment to the Luce Line and for suggestion
as to trail surface material. This directive is added as a condition of approval.
Landscaping
The landscape plan has been modified in concept to coincide with the modified site plan (see color
rendering). The landscape plan holds to the similar planting types and patterns as originally proposed,
preserves a greater percentage of existing trees and provides for a greater ratio of replacement trees.
Grading and site Drainage
Drainage patterns remain generally the same as illustrated in the original proposal with the exception that less
hard surface coverage will result -in less runoff from the site. Drainage from this site will be held to less than
or equal to pre -development runoff conditions. The drainage will be enhanced on this site because the
improvements will provide for a holding area to treat the stormwater runoff. Detailed drainage plans will be
modified and submitted with the final plans to the Consulting Engineering Eberhard for the City. Mr.
Eberhard has reviewed the original plan set and provided a report that is included as an attachment. The
modifications to the site plan do not significantly alter the grading and drainage patterns on the site. Some
questions were raised regarding the grade of the proposed drive and the walkout units. It has been suggested
that any fill required from off site be trucked into the site via the southerly drive on South Shore Drive. The
original grading plan was reviewed by the City Engineer. Modifications to the site plan do not significantly
alter the grading plan originally reviewed.
Utilities
Utility plans have been reviewed by Chuck Eberhard, consulting engineer. A report on the original
application from Mr. Eberhard is attached for your review. The Planning Commission requested additional
information on the issue of connecting this site to the City of Medicine Lake's existing system. A
MF

memorandum dated March 14`" from Mr. Eberhard explaining the capacity and other items was prepared.
Essentially, adequate capacity with the system exists for this project. Improvements to the distribution
system are recommended in Mr. Eberhard's correspondence and will be incorporated into the final
development agreement. On-site overhead utility lines extending from the southern portion of the site
northerly along South Shore Drive are proposed to be buried at the developers cost.
Final utility plans will be modified to coincide with the revised site plan and will be submitted with the final
plans for approval by the City Consulting Engineer.
Traffic
A detailed traffic study was conducted by the applicant and included in the original set of exhibits prepared
for the February planning commission meeting. The traffic study indicated that adequate capacity exists
- within the system for the proposed development. The study further identified site triangles that need to be
preserved for safe ingress and egress from the site. Landscaping in these areas have been modified
accordingly.
Issues were raised by members of the community regarding the narrowness of the internal driveway and its
ability to provide guest parking while adequately accommodating maintenance and emergency needs. The
private drive would be maintained by the association and has been widened to 24 feet which would
accommodate parking on one side of the street.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The Comprehensive Plan provides the vision for the future of the community and guides land uses within the
community. The Comprehensive Plan guidance for this project includes Commercial land use on the
Country House site and Mixed Use on the Johangten parcel. As proposed, the project requires a re -guiding
of land use for the Country House site from commercial to Residential PUD. The Johangten parcel could be
left as is because Mixed Use includes residential development. However, Staff is recommending_ re -guiding
both parcels for consistency sake to Residential PUD.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendment process requires a public hearing which was held at the Planning
Commission meeting on March 16d' and a report and recommendation from the planning commission prior
to City Council consideration. The report and recommendation is summarized above and was presented at
the May 1 City Council meeting. The Comprehensive Plan amendment also requires review by adjacent
Cities (City of Plymouth) the Wayzata School District and the Metropolitan Council. Following the review
of the amendment by these entities, the City may adopt the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Alternatively,
the City may adopt the Comprehensive Plan prior to submitting it to the Metropolitan Council contingent
upon the review of the Metropolitan Council. The City will be required to update its comprehensive plan by
2008 as part of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. Staff recommends that as part of the 2008 update, a
thorough updating of the text within the Comprehensive Plan be completed. For this amendment, the
existing description of Residential PUD in the land use chapter provides the connection to the future land use
map amendment. Therefore the comprehensive plan amendment is only reflecting a mapping amendment.
The map amendment was illustrated in an attachment as part of the May 1 City Council packet.
Zoning Amendment to Residential PUD District
The entire project site is currently zoned B-1 Neighborhood Business District. In order for any component of this
Z9
City Council Report on Medicine Lake Townhomes Project
June 1, 2006
Page 6
project to occur, rezoning is necessary. The proposed amendment is to rezone the site to the Residential Planned
Unit Development (PUD) district. The PUD district is established to allow flexibility in the development of
neighborhoods by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Chapter related to setbacks, height, lot area,
width and depth, yards, etc. The PUD zoning is intended to encourage:
(a) Innovations in development to the end that the growing demands for all styles of economic expansion
may be met by greater variety in type, design, and siting of structures and by the conservation and
more efficient use of land in such developments.
(b) Higher standards of site and building design through the use of trained and experienced land planners,
architects and landscape architects.
(c) More convenience in location and design of development for service facilities.
(d) The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics.such as natural topography and
geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion.
(e) A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition
of land.
(f) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering
development costs and public investments.
(g) A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. (PUD is not
intended as a means to vary applicable planning and zoning principles.)
(h) A more desirable and creative environment than might be possible through the strict application of
zoning and subdivision regulations of the City.
Given the character of the site, directions established through the South Shore Drive Master Plan, and the
complexities associated with redevelopment planning, this site is well suited to a PUD zoning process. A map
representing the boundaries of the rezoning was included in the May 1" City Council packet. Approval of the
rezoning request would be contingent upon the acceptance of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by the
Metropolitan Council and would be contingent upon the City's approval of the Planned Unit Development
Agreement for the development project.
PUD and Preliminary Plat
The Planned Unit Development process requires a developers agreement. The developers agreement
stipulates the required improvements that are necessary for the project to proceed. These improvements and
the site plan submitted formulate the zoning for the project as a "residential PUD. When construction
projects are proposed on the site, the building official and zoning official will issue permits based on the site
plan and resolution stipulating the agreed upon conditions. If any deviations exist, the PUD Agreement
would have to be amended following the normal zoning amendment procedures prior to issuance of any
building permit.
The Preliminary Plat is required because the project involves combing a number of parcels and re -platting the
parcels. The Preliminary Plat includes the same set of exhibits as the PUD agreement but will follow platting
procedures as required by the Hennepin County surveyor. These two work hand in hand to some extent.

The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving or denying a comprehensive plan amendment,
rezoning and PUD agreement. The proposed zoning for a property must be consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. If the application is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Plan
must be amended or the City may deny the rezoning application. The Zoning Ordinance and Map are the
regulatory tools used to implement the goals and policies established by the Comprehensive Plan.

City Council Report on Uedicine Lake Townhomes Project

Staff was also requested to prepare a discussion on the findings that would support denial of the project. A
key factor in the approval of this project is an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The current
Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the project area (the Country House Site) as a commercial node.
Furthermore, the South Shore Drive Master Plan reinforced the vision and desire to retain the ability to have .
neighborhood commercial services more convenient to the community of Medicine Lake. The development
as it stands does not retain any neighborhood commercial services as a possible land use. The viability of such
a use was questioned during the master planning process and continues to be questioned by the development
community: however, this is one of the last remaining locations in Medicine Lake that is available for
commercial services. Because the Comprehensive Plan and the Master Plan support such use and the
application as it stands is inconsistent with this policy position a finding for denial can be supported.
Additional findings may result from the City Council deliberations and should be noted in the minutes of the
meeting.
Consultant staff and the applicant will be available at the meeting to answer any questions.
This report along with all the listed attachments is provided for your review prior to the meeting on June 5. If there
are any items you feel have not been adequately addressed through the process thus far, please let me know so that I
can be prepared to address any concerns at the meeting.

SUBJECT: PERMEABLE PAVERS
Attached please find an article entitled "Cold Climate Performance of Permeable Pavers". The
article and pending study results document the stormwater treatment performance of permeable
pavers versus traditional asphalt pavement in a parking lot environment. The permeable pavers
appear to produce very good results. Please note, however, the article is from the paver industry
and the permeable paver parking lot subgrade is constructed quite differently than the traditional
parking lot with a three to four foot deep drained sub -base and a one foot deep gravel subgrade.
Also, the study will continue until 2009 as maintenance of the pavers will be explored.
You may wish to pass this article on to the City Council as I understand many are interested in
this type of Best Management Practice (BMP).

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority evaluates
permeable interlocking concrete pavements in an effort to reduce
runoff and water pollutants from development.
Cold Climate Performance of
Permeable Pavers
n an effort to advance cold -climate
performance information, Seneca
College, King Campus near Toronto,
Ontario and the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) are tak-
ing permeable interlocking concrete
pavement (PICP) on an extended
road test. Overseen by the TRCA, the
four year study of parking lot runoff
assesses PICP's long-term performance
including the migration and treatment
of runoff pollutants through the soil
subgrade. Completed in late 2004, the
pavement test facility includes 3,150 sf
(315 m2) of PICP with surface and sub-
surface water collection.
Adjacent to this area are two equally
sized areas in asphalt. Runoff is col-
lected directly from the surface of the
middle asphalt area and runoff from the
remaining third of asphalt drains into a
bio -retention swale in an effort to assess
its pollution reduction capabilities. This
article focuses on performance com-

parisons between asphalt and PICP. Figure 1 shows
the monitoring site plan and Figure 2 illustrates the
asphalt areas in the foreground and PICP in the
background. Asphalt curbs separate the runoff from
each of the three areas. While the photo shows an
empty parking lot, the entire test area is filled with
cars that introduce pollutants during weekdays.
While the data gathered to date is preliminary,
rainfall and runoff data from monitoring of nine
storms between August and December 2005
demonstrated no surface runoff from the PICP and
delayed flows from the under drains. While these
results were expected from ordinary commonly
occurring rainstorms, the PICP infiltrated all rainfall
during large (> 25 mm) high-intensity storms. Not
surprisingly, peak runoff flows from the subsurface
were significantly lower and occurred later than
those from the asphalt parking surface. Concerning

water quality, average total suspended solids
generated by the PICP were less than half of
that from the asphalt. The same can be said for
reduction of zinc. Bacteria, hydrocarbons, oils
and grease were significantly lower coming from
the PICP and bio -retention swale compared to
the asphalt. All of these reinforce the benefits of
improved runoff water quality by PICP before it
enters lakes and streams.
Subsurface infiltration and surface runoff
drain from the PICP, asphalt and bioswale into
an underground utility vault with sophisticated
equipment that measures flows and samples
water pollutants during rainfall from each area.
Water samples are analyzed for nutrients, metals,
oils and conventional variables such as total sus-
pended solids and hydrocarbons.

rainfall so there is a complete accounting of the
rainfall from evaporation, runoff and infiltration.
Soil samples were taken and analyzed to provide
baseline chemical information to compare against
any changes brought by infiltrating runoff. After
samples are taken inside the utility vault, the water
is directed to an infiltration trench to ensure reintro-
duction into the soil. The study also includes mea-
suring the radiometric temperatures of the PICP
and asphalt surfaces.
TRCA has released a 40 -page, preliminary
report with detailed data and construction infor-
mation. A copy of the report can be found at
www.icpi.org in the Design Professionals sec-
tion. According to Derek Smith, Sustainable
Technologies Monitoring Coordinator for TRCA,
"The study will continue until September 2009.
The next interim report will be released in March
2007. With more rainfall events, we expect to see
trends that will more clearly indicate the effective-
ness of PICP and bioswales for reducing runoff and
pollutants. We'll also be exploring maintenance of
the PICP surface. Our hope is to show the effective-
ness of these technologies so that they become
the norm for sustainable site design in the Toronto
region and Ontario. If proven effective, the TRCA
will work toward making permeable pavement
and bioswales a key component of site design in
Toronto and Ontario."
This project, organized under TRCA's
Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program,
includes funding from federal, provincial and
municipal government agencies, private founda-
tions, the Cement Association of Canada and Wal-
Mart Canada. The Interlocking Concrete Pavement
Institute supports the project and the permeable
pavers were donated by one of its members. The
research is being conducted as an independent
third parry study. An update on the monitor-
ing results will be provided by Derek Smith and
Tim Van Seters, TRCA's Manager of Sustainable
Technologies at the 8th International Conference
on Concrete Block Paving, November 6-8, 2006.
Future issues of this magazine will report on this
important research. 4-
