Officer Brian Jeska will travel to the nation's capitol as a member of the Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association (LEMA) Honor Guard, one of only 20 honor guards that will participate in Police Week. Accompanying the Minnesota LEMA Honor Guard, will be the Minnesota Police Pipe Band and Minnesota Emerald Society, which have also earned the rare opportunity to represent Minnesota as the Honor Guard for National Police Week 2006 in Washington, D.C. Jeska's father, Investigator Louis Jeska, formerly with Eagan Police Department, was killed in the line of duty on Aug. 30, 1993 after twenty years with the Eagan Police Department. Officer Jeska's older brother, a sergeant with the Dakota County Sheriff's Office, is also a member of the Honor Guard. Brian Jeska, now a 13 -year veteran of the Plymouth Police Department, joined LEMA in 1998 because he wanted to give back to law enforcement what this career has given to him, according to Corky Ornburg of the Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund. In Washington D.C., LEMA will provide services at a candlelight vigil, march with the Minnesota Police Pipe Band, and will compete against other law enforcement honor guards from around the country in the Annual National Police Honor Guard Competition. To close the event, LEMA will take part in the Annual Peace Officer's Memorial Service on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol where Minnesota's Pipe Band will play for the president of the United States and survivors of fallen officers. The LEMA Honor Guard is comprised of active duty Minnesota peace officers who volunteer their time to honor law enforcement officers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. LEMA serves at the funerals for fallen officers, hosts memorial services, provides colors details for special events, and has a scholarship program for surviving spouses and children of fallen officers. In 2005, Minnesota lost three officers in the line of duty. Sergeant Gerald Vick with the St. Paul Police Department, Officer Peter Resch of the Wadena Police Department and Officer Shawn Silvera of the Lino Lakes Police Department. These officers names will be added to the National Police Officers Memorial in Washington D.C. at the services this May. The Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund, a non-profit organization, is helping to sponsor Jeska's trip.

City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release Contact: March 29, 2006 PIO Barb Cox 763-509-5165 City Recognizes Best Practice Liquor Establishments An incentive -based program for Plymouth businesses that the City initiated in 2000 has paid off. In February, the City recognized several Plymouth businesses for their success in preventing sales of alcohol to minors during the past three years. The City designated 14 businesses as Gold Star Best Practices establishments. The businesses passed three consecutive years of compliance checks in which police send underage shoppers into businesses to attempt to buy liquor. Police conduct compliance checks twice a year of businesses that are licensed to sell liquor. Earning the designation of a Gold Star Best Practices Business means that in addition to successful compliance checks, the businesses has also adopted several mandatory best practices, including sending their employees to training approved by the Plymouth Police Department. The training helps servers and cashiers better understand the law and spot minors trying to buy alcohol. The following establishments were designated Gold Star Best Practice Businesses for 2006, and will receive a 10 percent discount on their liquor licenses: Cellars Wine & Spirits; Colony Liquor; Marcello's Restaurant; Ruby Tuesday's Restaurant; Doolittles Restaurant; Green Mill Restaurant; Jake's Sports Grill & Bar; Sid's Liquor; West Medicine Lake Community Club; Rainbow Grocery Store (Plymouth Station location); il Rainbow Grocery Store (Vinewood location); SuperAmerica convenience store (Nathan Lane location); Holiday Stationstore (Fernbrook location); and Holiday Stationstore (10900 Hwy. 55 location). The City Council also recognized two businesses, Chili's Restaurant and Buffalo Wild Wings, as Best Practices Businesses for 2006. The Best Practices designation means the businesses have passed compliance checks for two years in a row, earning a 5 percent discount on their liquor licenses. "Reducing youth access to alcohol is a primary concern in every community," said Police Chief Mike Goldstein. To address the issue, the City of Plymouth initiated the voluntary Best Practices Program in 2000. In addition to improving employee training and minimizing the number of businesses that fail compliance checks, the program has also strengthened the relationship between the Police Department and businesses that sell alcohol. "We believe the Best Practice Program in Plymouth has helped create a good rapport between the businesses and the Police Department. Businesses see us more as a partner in preventing sales to minors. They recognize that we are not only the enforcers of the law, but we're also a resource to them and their employees. After all, we all want to keep our kids safe," Goldstein added. Mayor Judy Johnson added that, "The Plymouth City Council is proud to recognize the businesses that participate in the program and help make a difference within the community." (g City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release Contact: March 30, 2006 PIO Barb Cox 763-509-5165 Plymouth Police Department loses Police Canine Over this past weekend, the Plymouth Police Department lost a valued member when police K-9, Jake, died unexpectedly. The 5 -1/2 -year old German Shepherd had worked with his handler, Officer Steve Baloun, since May 2003. The police dog became ill on March 25 and died a short time later. An autopsy at the University of Minnesota showed that Jake died of gastric torsion, a condition in which the stomach twists and causes complications. The condition is always fatal without immediate treatment. "When I was notified of Jake's death, I was shocked. This loss impacts all of us, as Jake was a valued member of our Department. Steve & Jake served our community with pride and their services were greatly appreciated and will be missed. I know that Jake was a beloved family member of the Baloun's and our sympathies are with them," said Police Chief Mike Goldstein. As a police canine, Jake worked every shift with his handler and assisted in evidence and narcotic searches, tracking and criminal apprehension. He also played an important public relations function. He and Baloun were often a popular feature at community events. When off-duty, Jake played the role of pet and was an integral part of the Baloun family. Jake was born in August 2001, in Poland. He was imported to the United States for police work in February 2002. He and Baloun attended the St. Paul Police K-9 training program. The pair graduated from the program and was certified by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) as Patrol Dog 1, which is a street certification. The certification shows proficiency in obedience, agility, human and evidence scent work, as well as apprehension and handler protection. The unit was also certified by the USPCA as a Narcotics Detection Dog. This certification shows proficiency in the ability to locate targeted narcotics of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, and crack. Each of the certifications requires annual re -testing. NOTE TO EDITOR: Attached are two photographs of Jake. The first is his formal department photograph, and the second shows his community involvement with Jake and Officer Baloun visiting with youngsters at the 2004 Plymouth on Parade event. c� � 'ra' tarTribune.com MINNEAPOLIS -.ST. FAUL, MINNESOTA Last update: March 26, 2006 — 6:57 PM Real Estate: Scaled-back center opens in Plymouth After modifications, a retail and residential project is more acceptable to its residential neighbors in Plymouth. Susan Feyder, Star Tribune The retail rollout is underway at The Shops of Plymouth Creek, a mixed-use project in Plymouth that blends large and small stores with senior housing units. The $30 million shopping center is being developed by Minneapolis-based CSM Corp. Its anchor tenant, a 134,000 -square -foot Lowe's home improvement store, opened in January. Including design modifications, the 200,000 -square -foot development at the intersection of Hwy. 55 and Vicksburg Lane has been about three years in the making, according to Shawn Drill, a senior planner for the city of Plymouth. The first two smaller retail tenants, a Palm Beach Tan salon and Massage Envy salon, are set to open this week. Most other stores, including Walgreens, Chin's Asia Fresh, Dunn Bros., Pot Belly Sandwich Works, Salsarita's Fresh Cantina, M&I Bank, Jamba Juice, T -Mobile and Super Cuts, will open in April and May, and a Michael's Arts & Crafts is scheduled to open in June. CSM's initial plan for the former industrial property was rejected by the city council, largely because it didn't provide enough of a buffer between the retail development and a neighboring area of single-family homes, Drill said. A revised plan that scaled back commercial development and added landscaping to buffer the neighboring homes from the stores was approved late in 2004. "CSM was very good at responding to concerns raised by residents in the area and the city staff," Drill said. The final plan combines retail space, park benches, walking trails, fountains and green space. Another important change in the project was the addition of a 96 -unit senior apartment complex developed by the city's Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Drill said. CSM's other area retail developments include the Shops at Lyndale, along Interstate Hwy. 494 in Richfield, and West Ridge Market at Interstate 394 and Hopkins Crossroad in Minnetonka. Both of those developments have more big -box retail stores. Scott Tubman, a CSM development associate, said the Plymouth development was conceived as more of a neighborhood center with smaller stores, partly because of its location near a residential area. "The configuration of the property also didn't lend itself to large retail tenants," Tubman said. In addition, CSM also believed there already was a fairly heavy concentration of big -box retail close by at the Arbor Lakes development in Maple Grove and the Ridgedale area of Minnetonka, Tubman said. Imaging center construction started at Mayo Clinic The Mayo Clinic in Rochester began construction last week on an advanced imaging research facility that will be funded in part by the Opus Group. Minnetonka -based Opus has donated $7 million toward the $12 million project and also will oversee construction of the building. The remaining cost is being paid by the clinic itself and a $2.4 million capital grant from the National Institutes of Health. The 40,000 -square -foot building, designed by Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, will be expandable to 300,000 square feet. The Mayo plans to use the facility to expand its research of medical imaging technologies and integrating them into patient care. Some research will seek new methods for high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to show natural movement of body structures such as a beating heart. There also will be investigations into ultrafast imaging and noninvasive mapping of the vascular system, such as the carotid and coronary arteries. Additional studies will focus on high -detail imaging of the brain to study Alzheimer's disease. Completion and occupancy of the building is set for the first quarter of 2007.

We'll have coffee at 10:30 a.m., and the news conference will begin at 11:00 a.m. Mayors R.T. Rybak from Minneapolis and Chris Coleman from Saint Paul will kick off this year's event by issuing a good-natured challenge to other cities in the metro area. The goal is to encourage the citizens of your community to try a form of commuting other than driving to work alone during April, May and June. Options include hopping on the bus or train, riding a bike, walking or even car or vanpooling. We'll tally the number of people who took part in the Challenge in early July and send out a release about the winning city. The winner will be chosen on a per capita basis. Do it for the health of your community; we all need to walk a little more.. Or, do it for the community pride. Either way, take the challenge! Please RSVP for the news conference by April 3rd to Mary Kay Guider at 612.349.7536 or marykay.guider@metc.state.mn.us. Sincerely, Brian J. Lamb General Manager c: Mayor R.T.

CALL TO ORDER Vice Chair Singer called the meeting to order at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Rezabek moved and Krahulec seconded a motion to approve the February 2006 minutes. Motion carried, all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present at the meeting. b. Staff. Evans talked about the February 22 Bike Roundtable. She indicated that the meeting was a great success! Sixty-five community members attended the session and provided us with great comments and suggestions for future bike friendly enhancements. Evans handed out survey results and meeting notes. Evans also said that they are compiling information that was obtained from park maps that were provided to each participant. Evans also talked about the National Recreation and Parks Associations new program to encourage healthy lifestyles and community livability. The program focuses on the leadership of park and recreation departments across the country to act as a catalyst and facilitator for promoting healthy and active initiatives. Evans indicated that our department is involved in this initiative. Our first step will be to highlight healthy programs in the summer "Leisure Times." Our healthy initiative will be called "Be active!" c. Others. There were no other presentations. 4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. Approve Ice Center the in lobby. Blank said the Council approved the tile for the lobby. The tile should be ordered and in place in approximately six to eight weeks. Krahulec asked about the kick plate that was previously requested by Rezabek. Eric was unsure of the status and will check on it. b. Accepted PRAC 2005 annual report and 2006 work plan. Blank said the Council approved the report. PRAC Minutes/March 2006 Page 2 Singer commented about the walking/jogging survey for the fieldhouse. Blank indicated that this report gives us a good look at who is using the facility and how popular it has become. The number of users compared to last year has increased. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Update on comp plan and bike forum. Blank indicated that city staff and the City Council have been working on the Comp Plan. There is a Planning Commis- sion/City Council land use meeting tonight that starts at 7 p.m. Additional meeting to follow includes neighborhood informational meetings on May 1 st and May 2" . Blank went on to indicate that sometime in June the City Council will have preliminary land use recommendations in place. Blank also indicated that BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota has announced several grant opportunities focused on Active & Healthy Communities Design programs that are tied to the Comprehensive Plan process that we may apply for. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Begin review of park ordinances. Blank stated that the information provided tonight is intended to give commission members a taste of ordinance information from other communities. We really do not have a problem right now with our current ordinances; however it is good to regularly make sure we are up to date with trends and the changing needs of the community. As an example the fire ordinance is one of the ordinances that may need to be updated. Another example is the noise ordinance. Blank indicated that noise is covered in other sections of the City ordinance book and maybe needs a little more attention in the parks section. Model rockets is the other ordinance that may need some attention. Environmental ordinance and overnight events in the parks are two other areas that could be explored. Again, Blank indicated that we really have not had any problems with our ordinances, but a regular review would be beneficial. The commission would make recommendations and the City Attorney would actually write any new ordinances. Singer questioned the need for ordinances connected with rollerblading. Blank responded that we do receive a lot of damage from rollerblades on picnic tables, on our concrete curbing at the Ice Center and other places. Singer thought that this ordinance might be partially covered in other areas. Blank indicated that we did find a bike lane ordinance that identifies specific streets in town that are designated bike routes. Singer asked if we have ordinances about landing areas for airplanes. Blank responded that the City has an ordinance in place that deals with both airplanes and helicopters. Singer commented about a restitution ordinance that another community is using. Blank responded that we typically rely on the court system to make recommendations regarding this issue. Krahulec indicated that he was having a hard time with the model rockets ordinance. Krahulec questioned how it would be utilized. Blank responded that we would designate specific locations where it would be safe. Rezabek agreed 3� PRAC Minutes/March 2006 Page 3 that he was not sure about the appropriateness of the model rockets ordinance. Aamodt questioned whether it was illegal to do something without an ordinance in place and requested clarification from the City Attorney. Blank will bring back information on this at one of our next meetings. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION Singer noticed that there was a proposed development sign around Plymouth Middle School. Singer also reminded commissioners that tonight is the joint meeting with the City Council and the Planning Commission regarding the Comprehensive Plan. Aamodt asked if we would be seeing a report on the financial plan for the park plan before it goes to the City Council. Blank indicated that this information would be shared with this commission prior to the City Council. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Monday, April 10, will be our next meeting. Nancy will send out a reminder of the date change. Blank indicated that at our next meeting you will most likely see information on an increase in Ice Center fees. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. 0 Anne Huriburt From: T R [b00ts14@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2006 4:50 PM To: Judy Johnson Cc: Sandy Hewitt; Kelli Slavik; Bob Stein; Ginny Black; Tim Bildsoe; Jim Willis; Anne Hurlburt Subject: Land Taxation and Development Dear Mayor: The City of Plymouth is an outstanding City to live in. I have been a resident for 20 years in the Northwest corner of the City and I have seen many changes over the years. There are good and bad changes, like more traffic, etc., but one thing is for certain - we can't stop the demand for developable land close to the City of Minneapolis. It has been a beautiful rural area, but development is inevitable. We just need to look at our neighbors to the North, West and South. Development still needs to be done in an orderly fashion with green area parks, bike paths and dog parks. The moratorium on development in this area is troubling because of the HUGE increase in taxes. We have two 20 -acre parcels and TAXES were increased on one of them by 42% in 2006. With continuing increases in taxes and the continuing increase in the price of land, will homes and land still be affordable to the general public by 2020? I know that a lot of our tax dollars go elsewhere because I still live on a dirt road. It doesn't seem fair to the landowners to restrain development - particularly when there seems to be a disconnect between the taxation and land development. I have city water and sewer a quarter -of -a -mile from my driveway, yet no sewer or water is slated for my parcel until 2020 (or is it 2030 now?). I know that the City of Plymouth has to release areas to be developed - but it seems that we need a revised assessment and enact a plan to reflect the region's population growth and home/land market value. Certainly the basic upgrades (which include installation of sewer and water lines) should be started on the basis of a 5 or 10 -year development plan. Languishing until the year 2020 to start this work is unreasonable and too long to wait. Sincerely, John & Sue O'Donnell 39 Q MetroTransit March 28, 2006 MAR 9 Terry Cheng, PACT Chair c/o Plymouth City Hall 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Terry, On behalf of Metro Transit, I would like to thank you for taking, part in the Northwest Metro Transit Study task force. We appreciate the opportunity to outline for you the potential changes to transit service west of the Mississippi River and worth of Highway 55. The feedback that you provided both at the meetings and individually helped us understand community needs, issues and perspectives. As you know, we will be asking the Metropolitan Council for permission to engage in an extensive community outreach on the restructuring; proposal to take place in May and June. While the formal work of the task force: is now completed, our staff will keep you informed about open houses, public hearings and other mechanisms in which citizens can react to the plan. With your :new knowledge of the transit proposal, I hope you will be a community resource in encouraging citizens and transit riders to give us their reaction. We are indebted to you for your service on the task force. Thank you. Sincerely, Brian .

Vicksburg Lane PIN 04-118-22-33-0004 PIN 04-118-22-33-0005 Good Morning: We have attended the city council meetings recently regarding the development of the northwest portion of Plymouth. Our property is divided into 2 parcels due to the fact many years ago we thought we might want to build on the 25 acres of our property. As you are aware the parcel PIN 04-118-22-33-0004 in the 2000 Comprehensive Plan from the city was marked for LA -3. The parcel PIN 04-118-22-33-0005 in that plan was marked as a Public/Institutional Uses possible park. It is therefore our request that the planning commission consid Comprehensive Plan making PIN 04-118-22-33-0005 LA -3 as well as 5 acre parcel. We request the planning commission not make the 25 acre parcel LA -R3 as we feel 100 feet from the road for housing is excessive. It only seems reasonable to have all 30 acres designated the same. Also it is our understanding that the developer who purchased Hampton Hills needs access to Vicksburg Lane. Would that not be d if the 25 acres remains designated as a park? 1 5,550 C�"W'4'-6'u�cl�ic a.ree ✓";Ymoad, (DlffiwrwjoCa- Thank you for your time and we hope the City of Plymouth will be successful in their plans for the development of northwest Plymouth.
