INTERFAITH OUTREACH & COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND
COMMONBOND LEVERAGE DOLLARS, PARTNERS TO SPUR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN PLYMOUTH
Wayzata, Minn. —Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners (IOCP) and CommonBond
Communities have leveraged funds from public and private investors to spur the
development of 50 new units of affordable town homes in Plymouth. Funders of the $9.4
million Vicksburg Commons project include Minnesota Housing, Plymouth Housing and
Redevelopment Authority, Hennepin County, the Metropolitan Council, IOCP, National
Equity Fund (NEF), and local businesses.
=011011D=
Dollars and Partners Leveraged for Affordable Housing Development, page 2
The project received mortgage and tax credit funding from Minnesota Housing
totaling $7,895,000. The balance of funds came from City of Plymouth -approved tax
increment financing through Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority
($500,000), Hennepin County ($400,000), the Metropolitan Council ($300,000), IOCP
($200,000), and local businesses ($10,000). NEF is the syndicator.
"This partnership demonstrates the power of working together to achieve a critical
goal," said LaDonna Hoy, IOCP executive director. "It takes more than one organization
to break down the barriers working families in our community face. There is a real need
for housing that's affordable on their incomes, and Vicksburg Commons moves us closer
to meeting that need."
Part of a comprehensive Lundgren Brothers neighborhood development,
Vicksburg Commons will operate under a housing with supportive services model.
CommonBond Communities, the largest nonprofit affordable housing provider in the
Upper Midwest, will develop the property and then manage it once it is occupied. IOCP
will provide on-site supportive services for families and children. The 50 units are
scheduled for occupancy beginning in fall 2007.
A groundbreaking ceremony for Vicksburg Commons, located at the corner of
County Road 47 and Vicksburg Lane, will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2006, at 4
p.m. The ceremony is open to the public.
IOCP's Commitment and Role
With money raised during its annual Sleep Out campaign, IOCP contributed
$200,000 to the Vicksburg Commons project. The organization also secured the land.
John Berg, retired banking executive who serves on the IOCP Housing Committee and on
CommonBond's board of directors, negotiated the purchase of the land from Lundgren
Brothers.

Dollars and Partners Leveraged for Affordable Housing Development, page 3
Once the development is completed, CommonBond will manage the property and
IOCP will run an on-site supportive housing and employment services center for
residents, linking them to employment, educational, recreational, health, and other
resources. Long-term, these services help residents achieve economic self-sufficiency and
live healthy, independent lives. IOCP has provided similar services through its CONECT
program for seven apartment neighborhoods (786 units) in Plymouth for the past 10
years.
IOCP will also subsidize 10 rental units for clients who are participating in
programs to increase their income -earning potential. These units will be designated for
very low-income residents who earn less than 30% of the area median income (AMI).
Long a provider of emergency housing assistance and advocate for affordable
housing, IOCP is also committed to seeking long-term solutions for the families it serves.
Vicksburg Commons is the second affordable housing development in the west metro
area that IOCP has spearheaded since June. Construction is underway on two twin homes
IOCP is developing in Wayzata with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
About Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners
The mission of IOCP is to identify and respond to the unmet basic human needs
of people in the community and to assist them in moving toward self-sufficiency. IOCP
offers information, advocacy, referral, and direct financial and material assistance with
housing, food, transportation, child care, and other basic needs. The organization also
provides case management, employment counseling, and connections to community
resources. In partnership with area businesses, faith communities, schools, health
systems, civic and community groups, and government agencies, IOCP works to
dismantle key barriers to self-sufficiency and to leverage the best possible outcomes for
its clients. IOCP's service area includes Hamel, Long Lake, Medicine Lake, Medina,
Minnetonka Beach, Orono, Plymouth, and Wayzata.

THE SLEEP OUT 2006
TURN NOON
E AWAY
Dear Friends:
We are counting down the days until Sleep Out 2006 begins with a wonderful, spirit -boosting Kickoff
event on Saturday, November 11. As past supporters of our Sleep Out campaign, we extend to you a
special invitation to bring your family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances to join us on Lake Street in
downtown Wayzata at 6:30 pm for free food, lively music and inspiring stories about how your support
has changed the lives of people in this community.
The IOCP Board set a financial goal of raising $1.7 million through this year's Sleep Out ... a move
toward the REAL goal of Turn No One Away! In the first nine months of 2006, 1782 people were
helped to keep a roof overhead. The hard news is that this is a 9.6% increase over last year, and we are
still turning people away. By the 10`" of each month, our budget for emergency housing is spent and we
are forced to turn away approximately 30 worth requests from people needing our help. Turn No One
Away has become the rallying cry for this year's Sleep Out. Reaching a goal of $1.7 million would close
the gap and enable us to approach our ultimate vision of responding to every worthy request.
At the same time, we rejoice in the development of two exciting new projects that were seeded by funds
raised through past Sleep Outs — Village Homes — a 4 -unit affordable townhome project under
construction at 170 Gleason Lake Rd in Wayzata, and Vicksburg Commons, a 50 -unit affordable rental
neighborhood at Vicksburg and CR 47 in Plymouth. This means 54 new affordable -in -perpetuity housing
units for low-income families living right here in our community!
Stay with us as we strive to raise $1.7 million through this year's Sleep Out. May the generous spirit of
our community continue to move us toward our goal of Turn No One Away.
Here are ways that you can help:
1. Gather your friends and join in the November 11`x' Kickoff on Lake Street.
2. Sleep outside one cold night in the headquarters tent at IOCP or in front of your own home, and
ask your friends and families make financial pledges to support your Sleep Out.
3. Share your thoughts about the importance of affordable housing for everyone in our community.
Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
4. Host a party in support of the Sleep Out. Ask guests to bring donations.
5. Bring your family to the November 30 FaithRaiser at 7 pm at St. Philip the Deacon. Prepare to
be inspired and awed by the stories of the people YOU have helped through your support of the
Sleep Out.
6. Help celebrate a dream come true for families who will have homes thanks to the IOCP/Habitat
partnership in building Village Homes. Join our open house on Saturday, December 9, 2-5 pm, at
170 Gleason Lake Road and see for yourselves the homes that our community built!
7. Pray for the success of Sleep Out 2006 and for a community that turns no one away.
Thank you, dear friends, for your loyal support of the Sleep Out campaign!
Sincerely,
Ar

Students plant trees as reminder of pledge to remain drug-free
Students of Wayzata West and Plymouth middle schools took a stand against drug use at
two separate events celebrating National Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23 — 31. They joined
more than eighty million young people and adults throughout the country who have
shown their commitment to a drug-free life by participating in similar events.
The Help Our Planet Earth (H.O.P.E) team from Wayzata West and the student council
from Plymouth Middle School participated in the ceremony which included a tree -
planting. Plymouth D.A.R.E. officers Susan Gottwald and Michael Passig, Plymouth
Forestry Technician Lara Newberger and middle school teachers helped the students
plant red oak trees, red tulips and other perennials.
The ceremony ended with each student tying a red ribbon to the newly planted tree to
confirm their promise to remain chemically free. "We understand that young people are
faced with extraordinary decisions every day," said Gottwald. "And we applaud their
courage and commitment as they make this pledge."
Plymouth's McGruff crime -fighting dog character was on hand to help place a
commemorative stone, engraved with the words, "Keep the promise."
National Red Ribbon week began in response to the kidnapping and death of Special
Agent, Enrique Camarena of the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement
Administration at the hands of drug traffickers. President and Mrs. Reagan helped
formalize the eight-day National Red Ribbon Week in 1988 after hundreds of students
from Camarena's home town wore red ribbons and pledged to be drug free,.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447
DATE: October 19, 2006
TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Senness, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Hennepin County Adult Correctional Facility (HCACF) Population
Report
Hennepin County Community Corrections staff has submitted their monthly report on
average daily population for the month of September, 2006.
The average daily population reported for the Plymouth facility was 612, which exceeds
the occupancy limit of 601 set by the Conditional Use Permit.
I discussed the occupancy level with Sigmund Fine, Correctional Institutions
Administrator. Mr. Fine indicated that the higher numbers are related to the increasing
number of short-term offenders, over which the County has no control. The program
associated with short-term offenders is State -mandated and has been in place for roughly
two years. He suggested that we monitor the situation over the next couple of months
before considering any changes to the CUP.
Following my discussion with Mr. Fine, I reviewed the last 2/z years of HCACF reports.
From my review, I found that the increase may be somewhat related to the number of
short-term offenders, but not entirely. In that September was the first month that the
County has exceeded the 601 limit for several years, I would concur with Mr. Fine's
suggestion that we monitor the situation for the next couple of months. If the County is
still exceeding the limit at that time, I recommend that we further discuss the sources of
the increase and how the County can address them.
The chart below shows the average monthly population since we began receiving reports
in June of 1998.

RE: Storage Tank Release Investigation and Corrective Action
Site: The Place Apartments, 3945 Lancaster Lane North, Plymouth, Hennepin, 55441
Site ID#: LEAK00016608
Dear Mr. Kasbohn:
Notice of Release
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has been informed that a release has occurred or contamination
has been encountered from storage tanks and/or storage tank facilities that you own and/or operate. The MPCA
appreciates your timely notification so this site can be handled in an efficient manner.
Legal Obligations
Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the
release and/or discovery of contamination, investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release(s)/contamination. A
person is considered legally responsible for a petroleum tank release if the person owned or operated the tank
either during or after the release, unless specifically exempted under the law. For releases of other substances, a
person is considered legally responsible if the substance discharged was under the control of the person at the time
of the discharge or release or if the person was an owner or operator of the storage tanks and/or tank facility at the
time the release occurred. If you believe that you are not legally responsible for this storage tank facility release,
please contact the project manager listed below.
Request to Take Corrective Action
The MPCA requests that you take steps to investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release(s)/contamination in
accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The site investigation must fully define the extent and magnitude
of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release(s)/contamination. For petroleum release sites,
the MPCA has facts sheets that will help you or your consultant properly investigate the release and report the
results to the MPCA. Unless your site is considered "high priority" (see below), you must submit a report to this
office which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to clean up the
release within 10 months of the date of this letter. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective
actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. Refer to the following web site for
related guidance documents and information, http://www.pca.state.mn.us/programs/lust_p.htm]. For sites
contaminated by pollutants other than petroleum, the MPCA requests that you or your consultant contact the
MPCA project manager listed to discuss the investigation and reporting timeline that will be required for your site.
The MPCA considers sites with "free product" (free-floating petroleum), that have affected or that threaten to
affect drinking water supplies, sites where pollutants are being released to surface waters such as lakes or
wetlands, sites where petroleum or other vapors have been detected within structures or that pose fire or explosion
hazards, to be high priority for staff review. If one or more of these situations apply to your petroleum or non -
petroleum facility, a Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design report (refer to guidance documents) must
be submitted within 90 days. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the
requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free
product in a well, excavation, or borehole, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours and IMMEDIATELY begin
interim free product recovery (refer to guidance documents). If you have any question with regard to whether your
site is "high priority" please contact the MPCA project manager listed below.

Reimbursement for petroleum sites:
In 1987, the legislature established the Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Fund (Petrofund) to reimburse some
responsible persons and volunteers (property owners not responsible for releases) who take corrective action for a
portion of their costs. The Petrofund is administered by the Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Board (Petro
Board), which is part of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. If the release at your site is a petroleum release,
the MPCA encourages you to learn more about the Petrofund reimbursement program by contacting Petrofund staff
at 651/215-1775 or 1/800-638-0418 (in greater Minnesota only), or by reviewing the information that is available at
the following website, http://www.pea.state.mn.us/programs/lust_p.htmi. Because there are rules governing eligible
costs of cleanup, the MPCA strongly encourages you to familiarize yourself with the enclosed proposal and invoice
forms and the other program requirements in order to maximize the available reimbursement. Please note that final
decisions regarding the amount of reimbursement are made by the Petro Board, not the MPCA.
If you have not already done so, the MPCA recommends that you hire a qualified environmental consulting firm to
help you investigate and clean up the contamination on your site. To be qualified, the consultant should have
experience in performing investigations of contaminated sites and in developing and implementing corrective
actions. For petroleum investigations, the consultant must be registered with the Petro Board if you wish to have
your costs considered for reimbursement. A list of registered contractors is available from the Petrofund staff.
Please note that, under the Petro Board's rules, (see Minn. R. ch. 2890), you must solicit a minimum of two written
competitive consultant proposals on a form prescribed by the Petro Board to incur costs eligible for reimbursement,
and a minimum of two written competitive contractor bids must also be obtained for each contractor service.
Again, the MPCA strongly encourages you to contact Petrofund staff for answers to all of your questions about
bidding and the other Petrofund reimbursement program requirements.
Required Response
The MPCA requires that you respond to this letter within 30 days to indicate whether you intend to proceed with
the requested work. If you do not respond within this time frame, the MPCA will assume that you do not intend to
comply, in which case the MPCA Commissioner may issue you an enforceable order that will require you to take
corrective action. Failure to cooperate with the MPCA in a timely manner may result in reduced reimbursement
from the Petro Board, see Minn. R. ch. 2890. If you do not cooperate, the MPCA has the option of taking the
corrective actions on your behalf and recovering its costs from you.
If you have any questions concerning this letter or need additional information, please contact me at 651/297-8598.
Please reference the above LEAK #f in all correspondence. If you are calling long distance, you may reach the
MPCA by calling 1-800/657-3864.

Gary Zarling

SUBJECT: 2007 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 7101
HAWTIIORNE PONDS
PROJECT INFORMATION MEETING
Dear Property Owner:
The streets in your area are being considered for reconstruction in the summer of 2007. This project was identified
for reconstruction and drainage improvements by the City's annual pavement management report, and a portion of
the project cost is proposed to be assessed to the property owners. The streets that are included in the project are
located west of County Road 101 to, and including, Queensland Lane, from the Luce Line Trail to 6"' Avenue and
including 2" d Avenue and 3rd Avenue west of Queensland Lane. Attached. is a map of the area under consideration.
An informational meeting to discuss the project with the residents has been scheduled for Monday, November 13,
2006 at 6:00 PM, to be held at the Plymouth Creek Center in the Black Box Room located at 1.4800 30'
Avenue North. This meeting will include a presentation by City staff followed by a question and answer period.
We look forward to your input on this project.
The preliminary engineering report will be presented to the City Council on December 12, 2006. Soon after, staff
will begin working on the design for the project.
The next step will then be for the City Council to conduct a public improvement hearing. It is anticipated that this
hearing for this project will be on February 13, 2007. You will be notified of this public hearing in a letter, which
will also have an estimated assessment amount. City policy is to assess a portion of the street reconstruction
projects to the benefiting properties. Reconstruction of the street itself is assessed at 40% of the cost. Final
assessment amounts will be determined at an assessment hearing that will be held at a later date.
h1 addition, in order to minimize impacts to your yard during construction season, it is critical that we know about
any sump pump discharges, sprinkler systems or invisible dog fences in your yard. Please call (763) 509-5505 with
that information as soon as possible.
If your sump pump currently drains out onto the street, the City may be able to install a yard drain box
approximately 10 feet behind the curb for you to run your sump discharge into. A yard drain is a small box that sits
flush with your yard and connects into our storm sewer system, instead of allowing the water to run onto the curb
where it destroys our roads. If you are interested in a yard drain box please contact me to determine whether it is
feasible in your situation. There is no additional charge for a yard drain.
If you have any questions or cannot attend the information meeting and wish to discuss the project, please contact
me at (763)-509-5541.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Nill:
October 26, 2006
On October 24, 2006, the Plymouth City Council briefly discussed the I-494 Draft Visual' Quality
Management Manual. The City Council generally gave positive remarks about the aesthetic
treatments included in the I-494 Design -Build project south of Plymouth, and understood the
concept of maintaining the visual language in the corridor. The City Council also expressed
concerns about the noise wall design and the potential that noise walls will not be included within
the City of Plymouth. The City Council is formally requesting that noise walls be included with
this project should it advance to construction. The City Council also agreed to provide input to
MnDOT regarding their preferred noise wall design within one week of the date of this letter.

4141 Douglas Drive N.
Crystal, MN 55422-1696
Dear Mayor Bowman:
Thank you for writing to solicit support for a permanent home for the Mosaic Youth
Center project. We share your passion to support youth and to create programs and
leadership opportunities for youth in our communities. The City of Plymouth has worked
toward this goal through establishment of the Plymouth Youth Advisory Council,
appointment of youth to our city advisory commissions, inclusion of a youth area in our
Plymouth Creek Center, and sponsorship of a variety of recreational and leadership
programs. We work in collaboration with the four school districts within Plymouth on
many issues impacting youth in our community.
While the City of Plymouth very much supports the mission and goals of the Mosaic
Youth Center, and our City Manager sits on the Friends of the Mosaic Board, we also
believe it is important to recognize the rights of local control of the nonprofit
organization, the school district, and the cities involved in the potential siting of a
permanent facility. This is not the first time that the City of Plymouth has been
approached to support a plan for a permanent home for a youth center affecting our
community; nor to obtain a specific site. If this project is deemed feasible and moves
forward, the City of Plymouth would appreciate the expansion of opportunities for youth.
However, we would like those decisions to be made by the entities most directly involved
in implementing and operating the project.
Again, thank you for bringing the issue to my attention. We do wish all the best to the
Mosaic Youth Center.
At your service,

SUBJECT: TH 55/FERNBROOK LANE IMPROVEMENTS
CITY PROJECT NO. 1013
Dear Mr. Russek:
In 2005, the City of Plymouth had the good fortune of having the Highway 55 Coalition allocate
$475,000 of federal funding for preliminary design and right-of-way acquisition for the above
referenced project. At that time, the allocation represented approximately 70% of the estimated
costs for those activities. Since that time, the City's costs have risen to approximately $1,000,000,
based on actual consultant costs and appraisals on the affected properties.
It has come to my attention that a Coalition supported project, or perhaps some projects, may not
proceed in a timely fashion, and that the funds allocated to them may be available for other
projects. Since the City of Plymouth's costs have risen significantly, we respectfully request that
the Coalition consider allocating an additional $225,000 for the TH 55/Fernbrook Lane
Improvement Project. The additional allocation combined with the original allocation would still
represent 70% of the costs for right-of-way acquisition and preliminary design.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to call me at 763-
509-5501.
Sincerely,
Doran Cote, P.E.
Director of Public Works
