Contest Promotes Carbon Monoxide Detector Awareness; Offers up to $2,000 in Prize Money The Plymouth Fire Department, Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund and Plymouth Firefighters Relief Association have launched a carbon monoxide detector awareness campaign. The "Where's Lester and COnnie?" public education campaign combines fun, education and a donated prize of $2,000. This year's winter fire safety awareness campaign puts a new twist on the award-winning Where's Lester contest that the Plymouth Fire Department initiated last winter. The campaign brings back the character of Lester the Smoke Detector and adds the character of COnnie the Carbon Monoxide Detector. The premise of the campaign is that COnnie the Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector, leaves home because the family she is protecting disregards her warnings that their house contains dangerously high levels of CO. Her friend, Lester the Smoke Detector, hears of COnnie's disappearance and sets out to find her. To get Connie and Lester back, the Crime and Fire Prevention Fund and the Plymouth Firefighter Relief Association have posted a $1,000 reward for the safe return of Lester and a $1,000 reward for the return of COnnie. CONTEST RULES To be eligible for the reward, contest participants must register by Dec. 31 to be part of the search team. Applications are available at the Plymouth Public Safety Building/City Hall, PLYMOUTH ABeautifufPfaceToLive 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (612) 509-5000 Os-w...W . www.d.plymouth.mn.us / (C." 3400 Plymouth Blvd., and on the City Web site at www.ci.plymouth.mn.us. Forms must be postmarked or returned to the Public Safety Building by Dec. 31. Lester and Connie will not be in their hiding places until Jan. 6 when the first clues as to their whereabouts will be issued. Lester and COnnie will be in separate hiding places. All registered search team members will be eligible for prize drawings that will be conducted in 1999 after Lester and COnnie are found. Weekly clues will be printed in the Plymouth Sun -Sailor each Wednesday starting Jan. 6. Clues also will be posted on the City of Plymouth's Cable Channel 37, the Lester Hot Line at (612) 509-5146 and the City Web site. The City of Plymouth has produced a 9 minute video "news" story detailing COnnie and Lester's disappearance and the effort to register search team members. The program is showing on on Plymouth cable channel 37. You can get complete details about the Where's Lester and COnnie Contest by calling the Lester Hot Line or visiting the City Web. "The video promoting the disappearances is a spoof, but it also helps get out information about the importance of heeding the warnings of carbon monoxide detectors. This is especially important during the winter heating season," said Fire Chief Richard Kline. The Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund is a non-profit organization that raises funds to reduce crime and enhance safety programs in Plymouth. The fund, along with the Plymouth Firefighters Relief Association, donated the prize money for the Find Lester and COnnie Contest. SM 3g� 00 1� -T- ►A ..

P R r S OD rn Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan - HC -TSP - WHAT IS THE HC -TSP ? an this age of complexity, everything seems to require its own acronym to facilitate "shorthand" discussions. HC -TSP stands for Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan. The HC -TSP is an update of a county transportation systems study that was last prepared in 1976. The Plan provides recommendations for future improvements to the "systems" of roadways, transit, bikeways and walkways. The draft HC -TSP document has recently been completed and it was distributed to various cities and agencies for review and comment. This newsletter describes the contents of the HC -TSP, and it announces the locations of upcoming public informational meetings. PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS SCHEDULED Four public informational meetings have been scheduled in early December to obtain public comments on the draft HC -TSP. The meeting times are from 3:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Dates and locations are: Monday, December 7 Richfield Municipal Water Plant TH-62 at Portland Avenue (6221 Portland Avenue South) Tuesday, December 8 Hennepin County Government Center 300 South 6th Street - Minneapolis Conference Room A. A -Level Thursday, December 10 Wayzata City Hall. 600 Ricc Street 'Wayzata City Council Chambers Tuesday, December 15 Brooklyn Park Library 8600 Zane Avenue North � �� 9fi.40 WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE MEETINGS ? The public informational meetings will present the basic themes of the HC -TSP in storyboard format. The displays will describe: • What is the HC -TSP ? • Why an update is needed ? • Multi -modal planning • Roadway Functional Classification • Access Management • Roadway Jurisdiction • Traffic Forecasting Methodology • Existing / Future Traffic Volumes • System Evaluation In addition, supporting county and metropolitan planning documents, brochures, and bicycle plan information will be available for review. RECOMMENDED POLICIES TO GUIDE FUTURE DECISION MAKING Hennepin County's Comprehensive 1 Plan (developed in 1981), identified sixteen transportation related policies. These policies have been reviewed and refined in light of the recent work on the HC -TSP. Most of the original policies still have validity for the guidance of transportation related actions. The policies include: • Support for metropolitan development policies • Capital Improvement Program (CIP) • Updates of the HC -TSP • Multi -modal facilities • Spot safety improvement program • Traffic signal program • Improvements of county roadways • Deficient bridge replacement • Minimize reliance on property taxes • Comply with environmental regulations • Roadway system revocations and designations • Plat reviews • Entrance permits • Utility permits • Oversized and overweight load limits PLAN ADOPTION PROCESS 1 t is proposed that the County Board of Commissioners will conduct a public hearing in early 1999. A 60 - day comment period will be provided in conjunction with the hearing process. Final adoption is anticipated. during the second quarter of 1999. FOR MORE INFORMATION Contact: Robert H.

Mike Goldstein. Staff members attending were Public Safety Director Craig Gerdes, and recording secretary, Public Safety Tech Svcs Supervisor Barb Cox. Unable to attend were members Charlie Honke, Janet Perrin, and Firefighter Chris Dore. The meeting was called to order by Chair Albro at 7:09 p.m. Next on the agenda was approval of minutes. Freese moved approval of the minutes from both the June 181 and July 16t'', 1998 meetings. The motion was seconded by Kaufman. All voted in favor and the motion passed. The next item on the agenda was the reconsideration of items on the animal ordinance. Albro made note that he had attended the Council meeting and went over for the group the discussion at that meeting and that some items were sent back to this group for review. There was discussion that this group did a lot of work on this ordinance originally and strongly recommended the one option to the Council initially. They still believe this is a good option and discussed sending this option back to the Council in tact. Albro noted he agreed with that but that the Council did ask that they review this issue again and he wrote up three options for consideration. The group gave consideration to these issues and had much discussion on the issue as a whole. Albro moved his option (a1), which was to send back their original option to the Council with some information on their reasons. This motion died for lack of a second. Albro then moved his option (a2), which was an affirmation that the Advisory Board recommended leaving the ordinance as it was adopted by the Council at their July meeting. This motion also died for lack of a second. Albro then moved his option (a3), which recommends taking cats out of the at -large section 915.17, adding a new subdivision 2 allowing cats to be at -large as long as they have been vaccinated and spayed or neutered; and a new subdivision 3, which states -cM 2a that cats impounded more than twice under any terms of the ordinance will no longer be allowed to run at large and shall then keep that cat under restraint at all times. This motion was seconded by Freese. Roll call vote was taken: Freese, yes; Goldstein, yes; Kaufman, yes; and Albro, yes. Motion carried. The group then continued discussion on the issue of licenses for indoor cats. Albro noted some of the discussion at the Council meeting and noted that Councilmember Black had requested the Advisory Board reconsider this issue. He noted he had drafted some possible language not requiring licenses for cats that are on the owner's property licenses are not required, but are highly recommended. This languaged was moved by Kaufman, seconded by Goldstein. In discussion, Chief Gerdes noted he would not recommend this option if we were recommending language to allow cats to be at large. He stated a better option along with the at -large component would be to waive the fees. Roll call vote was taken on this item as follows: Freese, no; Goldstein, no; Kaufman, no; and Albro, yes. Motion was defeated. The discussion on this item then centered around language which would require licenses, but no fee and the animals would not be required to wear tags. Albro moved that staff structure language to require licensing of all cats, but cats who never leave their property would be exempt from the fee and would not need to wear their tags. Motion was seconded by Goldstein. Roll call vote was taken on this item as follows: Freese, yes; Goldstein, yes; Kaufman, yes; and Albro, yes. Motion carried. The next issue from Council was the inclusion of ferrets in the multiple animal license. Albro noted he wrote some draft language to include ferrets in the limit of four (4) animals in section 915.21, and to section 915.11. Albro moved we recommend both changes. Motion seconded by Freese. Roll call vote was taken on this item as follows: Freese, yes; Goldstein, yes; Kaufman, yes; and Albro, yes. Motion carried. Albro also noted that although the issue was not specifically sent back to the Advisory Board by the Council, they did ask about a maximum limit of animals allowed. Albro moved we recommend additional language in section 915.21 setting a maximum of ten (10) animals allowed. This motion died for lack of a second. The next item on the agenda was an attendance policy for the group. Albro noted that the Board had been provided with information on attendance policies now in place for the City Council and the Human Rights Commission. Albro noted that City Council policy does not really apply as they receive pay and their penalty for missing is monetary. He stated that the policy recently adopted by the Human Rights Commission was what he had in mind for this group. Freese noted that during his interview he stated to the Councilmembers that he could have some attendance difficulties because he is in an educational program which requires attendance in some night classes. He noted that this was made very clear at the time and as the City Council appointed him to this position knowing that, he would 2 have problems putting a policy like this in place now. He noted he would have no problem setting this up for future appointments, but believed it should not apply to the current membership of the Board. After further discussion on this issue, Goldstein moved an attendance policy which requires members miss no more than two (2) consecutive regularly scheduled meetings and no more than three (3) meetings in any given calendar year. If a Board member does not meet these standards, the Public Safety Advisory Board will request that the City Council relieve that member of their responsibilities on the Board. Motion was seconded by Kaufman. During discussion, Freese again stated his objections to making this effective for current members. As a result of discussion, both Goldstein and Kaufman agreed to amend their motions to add language to the proposal allowing exceptions may be permitted based on the majority vote of the Board. Roll call vote on this item as follows: Freese, no; Goldstein, yes; Kaufman, yes; and Albro, yes. Motion carried. Albro then noted if we are going to instigate this policy, he would also like to request that the Council appoint two alternates at the time they make all their boards and commissions. He stated this would allow us to immediately fill any vacancies with one of the alternates. He noted his concern is that otherwise the replacement process takes several months. Chief Gerdes noted that one problem with this is the Council originally set up this Board to have representatives from each Ward and one at -large. He stated this could cause some problems with picking alternates. There was discussion on setting an eligibility list instead. Gerdes noted there could be some problems with this as well and we would need to look into the possible problems with this process. The Board sent this item to Chief Gerdes and staff to research and bring back information on options along these lines. There was then discussion on when the attendance policy should take effect. Freese noted he would not like to see anything go retroactive. The concensus of the group was that they definitely did not want to do that. After some further discussion about possible effective dates, Albro moved that the policy take effect immediately and that a letter with this information is generated by the secretary to all members and stress the importance of attendance. Goldstein seconded the motion. Roll call vote on this item as follows: Freese, no; Goldstein, yes; Kaufman, yes; and Albro, yes. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was a request to change the meeting day of the week from Thursday. Freese noted for the months of October and November he would be in a class on Thursday nights and would be unable to attend any meetings. After comparing schedules of those present, Albro moved the October and November meetings be held on a Monday or Tuesday of the month. Freese seconded the motion. All voted in favor and the motion passed. Albro asked the secretary to contact the two members who are not there and determine whether these Mondays would be a problem for them. Albro noted we would look at the third week of the month. 3 T Za Next Albro asked for any other issues that need discussion. Goldstein had nothing. Gerdes noted Public Safety would be making a presentation on crosswalk safety at the next Council meeting. Gerdes noted he would be unable to attend the October meeting during the third week of the month as his daughter was getting married that week. Freese noted he will also be gone that week. Albro asked that we then try to accommodate these problems and look at the second week of the month. All agreed. Kaufman had no issues. Feese noted he had seen a presentation by Firefighter Chris Dore who is also a member of this group on Cable 12 and it was really good. He also commented that the department's bike patrol made a wonderful presence at several events this year like Music in Plymouth and National Night Out. Albro noted he received the information on the citizens academy by the police department and he will try to attend and encouraged the rest of the group to attend. Freese moved to adjourn, seconded by Goldstein. The meeting was adjourned. 4 L elm creek Watershed Management Commission EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Judie A.

They are requesting permission to circulate the wetland water through their pond via a pump. Although Commission has a policy against permitting water withdrawals from wetlands for irrigation and non-essential uses, this use is not consumptive. Since water will be returned back to the wetland, the only loss will be due to evaporation. The site is in Tuckborough Farms 3rd Addition. A $10 application fee has been received. HCD recommended that approval be granted contingent that the amount pumped not exceed 3500 gph, the water be returned to the wetland, the spoils from the excavation be disposed on an upland site and the Commission's technical adviser having the right to inspect the project for compliance in the future.

Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 8:45 a.m. by Chair Ross Thorfinnson. Those in attendance were: Ross Thorfinnson, Eden Prairie City Council Lisa Raduenz, LJR, Inc. Tom Foley, City of Richfield Craig Larson, City of Edina Clarence Shalbetter, Metropolitan Council Barb Senness, City of Plymouth Jim Hovland, City of Edina Dave Lindahl, City of Eden Prairie Larry Lee, City of Bloomington Kate Garwood, Southwest Metro Russ Susag, City of Richfield Curt Gutoske, City of Minnetonka Jill Schultz, JMS Communications II. Review of Minutes. Minutes from the September 16, 1998 meeting of the I-494 Corridor Commission were reviewed. Motion to approve the meeting minutes was made by Susag with a second by Lindahl. Motion carried unanimously. IIl. Other Business. Raduenz provided a summary of a meeting she attended at Best Buy Corporation in Eden Prairie on Septa 30. As part of her duties, Raduenz is visiting several employers and working with them on Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) under authority of the Eden Prairie Planning Commission and City Council. Eden Prairie is now requiring any developer or building owner to put forth a TMP prior to receiving final build approval for projects within city limits. In some cases, the City is also requiring a performance bond or letter of credit from the developer to ensure their continued participation in future transportation site planning. Raduenz indicated that she has also conveyed this message to the Chambers of Commerce Executives that she and Schultz met with on October 1, 1998, and that, for the most part, they don't see a problem with this type of approach. The Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce did ask Raduenz and Thorfinnson to attend its October 81h morning meeting to further explain this initiative, which both did attend, and after some discussion, received a favorable response from the Chamber members present. An Engineers' Subcommittee meeting was held on September 30, 1998 and Raduenz requested a list from each engineer with information as to desired HOV and transit infrastructure projects along the 494 corridor. This information is due to Raduenz by Friday, October 16,1998. Raduenz reminded each of the city staff members present to contact their engineers and request that this information be faxed or e-mailed to Raduenz. Thorfinnson commented upon the continued negotiations between Supervalu and the City of Eden Prairie. A meeting has been held that outlines financial participation amounts between the City, Supervalu and MnDOT for the building of an HOV ramp meter bypass at Valley View Rd. and I-494, and a traffic signal in front of Supervalu's main entrance on Valley View Rd. Raduenz and Thorfinnson have a meeting scheduled with representatives from Supervalu later this afternoon to determine if they will agree to the financial participation goal set forth by the City. A Transit Providers Subcommittee group meeting will be held on Friday, October 161h, from 10:30 a.m. until 12:00 noon at Eden Prairie City Hall. T_ ZC1 Raduenz reported back to the Commission about efforts by the Association of Metro Municipalities (AMM) on promotion of LRT or Commuter Rail in the Southwest Suburbs (a topic mentioned by member Hovland at the last meeting). Raduenz contacted Gene Ranieri, AMM Director, to clarify what AMM is doing in this area. Ranieri told Raduenz that the AMM is not preparing a plan for LRT implementation efforts in the southwest area, but rather studying the safety issues surrounding increase rail use along unsignalized intersections in the south and west freight corridors. Raduenz asked Ranieri to keep her informed in the event that this discussion turned into anything other than what it was portrayed as representing. Member Hovland will also go back and double-check the information he received from his contact on the rail group. Thorfinnson has asked Raduenz to prepare a letter inviting corridor groups from across Minnesota to once again get together for a meeting to discuss potential ways in which to fund a 'megaproject' account for transportation purposes. Raduenz has just received a listing of these groups and names from the Transportation Alliance (who convened the. earlier meeting in August) and will' be "sending a letter under Thorfinnsori s signature shortly. The Corridor Commission is taking the lead on getting the groups together in hopes that they will also see the value of working together for funding large projects rather than competing against each other. Raduenz reported that she and Goldstein have been meeting with Shalbetter of the Met Council to draft a vanpool subsidization program for the 494 corridor. The proposal is still in draft form and needs to be further modified before it will be accepted by Shalbetter. They are working on this and will report back to the Commission when the proposal is finally submitted to the Met Council. Schultz passed out a handout which showed the topics for a November/ December newsletter edition and asked members if there was anything else that should appear in the next edition. She also passed out a map used by the Commission on the bus tour that showed some major development along the corridor but not all, and asked that each staff member provide her with the correct information about the size and location of future developments that have already received preliminary approval in each city. It was suggested that the map should also include a base employee count for each of the seven corridor commission cities as an underlying piece of information, so that readers could fully understand the cumulative increase in employee numbers along the corridor. Lee suggested that the mission and goals statement of the Commission also be included in each edition published. Schultz requested the major development information from staff members present by one week of the meeting date, October 21bt. Thorfinnson asked Shalbetter if he would like to report any preliminary findings of the Regional Parking Study Group at the Metropolitan Council. Shalbetter declined. IV. Treasurer's Report. Raduenz announced that per the Commissions instructions at the last meeting, an expense account has been established at Liberty State Bank in St. Paul for the 1-494 Corridor Commission. Raduenz is the authorized signatory on the account but indicated that she was unable to acquire financial information from Larsen up to this point in order to put together a financial statement for the meeting this month. Larsen asked how the account was to be managed. Thorfinnson responded that Raduenz would be restricted to no more than $1,000.00 per check, and that the total account could have no more than $5,000.00 in it at any one time. These stipulations are outlined on page 4 of the meeting minutes from September 16, 1998 and Raduenz indicated that she had also sent Larsen and his Finance Director a memo indicating how the funds were to be distributed and under what conditions. V. Revised Outline for 1999 Corridor Commission Report. Schultz distributed a comprehensive outline for the 1999 Corridor Commission Report. The outline had been revised 2 .:,s• . ✓nom/ r C since the previous version passed out to Commission members at last month's meeting after further discussions with Raduenz. Both the engineers' subcommittee and the transit providers' have been asked to provide Schultz and Raduenz with information on infrastructure and transit needs within the Corridor for the Final Report. Lee suggested that the content and organization of the report use more bulleting and sub -heads rather than prose for the Final Report. Schultz responded that she also believes that an executive summary would be very important and could be used to provide legislators and others with information that could be presented in graphic form and for presentation purposes. Hovland indicated that he really liked the outline, but that maybe the Corridor Commission should be sending a broader message, something along the lines of a suburban transportation coalition? Thorfinnson replied that he understood the intent of Hovland's remark, but that we already do represent more than just six lanes of freeway. Hovland responded that the assumption might be made that we are just concerned about 494, and can we get the message out that we are concerned beyond the freeway? Hovland also remarked that looking at the development map, and all the things that will be coming during the next five years or so makes him wonder about being careful not to lose sight of the old goal—expansion of 494. The Corridor Commission needs to sell its story to the Federal Government, and to remember to focus on them to get what we want. Thorfinnson said that we should also be concentrating on state government and with other statewide corridor groups. He indicated that he and Raduenz attend many fundraisers for congressional candidates and others seeking office and that they pay out of their own pockets because they realize the importance of being 'at the table'. He thinks the Commission needs to continue this type of work because those experiences are what help to push projects forward. VI. 494 Corridor Commission Products. Raduenz presented two items to the Commission to demonstrate the recent products that are being drafted. The first, a sample plan for employers to look at when drafting their own Transportation Management Plans (TMPs), was created in response to a request from Lindahl and other Commission members at the last meeting. Raduenz asked for any suggestions to the draft that was passed out by members as soon as possible, as she is already being asked by developers and employers for the sample TMP. The second product was produced by Goldstein and is a home page for the Commission. The home page is in its early stages, but has links available to each city's transportation page that can be automatically accessed. Lee suggested that one of the front pages provide bullets for services to businesses that the Corridor Commission provides. Also, it was suggested that the home page link up to the MnDOT Traffic Management Center page and also to Twin Cities Sidewalk, where a customized travel program can be used by web surfers. There should also be links to Chambers of Commerce sites and to the Met Council or Metro Commuter Services. Raduenz indicated that a new brochure is in the initial stages of drafting by Schultz and LJR staff but is not yet ready for presentation to the Commission. VII. 1999 Board Positions. Thorfinnson asked Raduenz what she had learned while researching this item. Raduenz replied that she could not find information on any rotation schedule among Corridor Commission files, but that she recalled the positions were rotated alphabetically the last round (two years ago). A discussion ensued about what made sense from this point on, as Maple Grove had already served as Treasurer/ Financial Agent for the two-year period prior to this term. Lee recommended that the Corridor Commission rotation schedule should 'go alphabetically from this time forward, beginning now with Eden Prairie T^ Lcl as Chair for a new two-year term, 1999-2001, and with Minnetonka serving as Treasurer for the next two years beginning in January 1999. This motion included a revision that provided for a Vice -Chair position, which will be held by the City of Edina during the 1999-2001. The Vice -Chair position automatically will rotate into the Chair position in 2001. The following table demonstrates how the rotation will work for the next several years: Member City 1999-2001 2001-2003 2003-2005 2005-2007 2007-2009 Bloomington Treasurer Eden Prairie Chair Treasurer Edina Vice Chair Chair Maple Grove Vice Chair Chair Minnetonka Treasurer Vice Chair Chair Plymouth Treasurer Vice Chair Chair Richfield Treasurer Vice Chair A motion was revised by Lee to adopt the rotation schedule as presented in the chart above, with a second by Gutoske. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m. Next meeting of the I-494 Corridor Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, November 25*, 1998, 8:30-10:30 a.m. The meeting will be held at the new offices of Southwest Metro Transit Commission, 13500 Technology Drive, Eden Prairie.

Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the issue.

Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. C. CITY OF PLYMOUTH (98193) 245 DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes September 22, 1998 Page #246 Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by the City of Plymouth for an Amendment to Chapter 21 of the Plymouth City Code, the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance to allow liquor on-sale when accessory to a permitted use in the Public/Institutional District and the City Center -Public District. Planning Supervisor Senness gave an overview of the November 19, 1998 staff report. Commissioner Berkowitz questioned how the proposed ordinance change would affect other areas that may be zoned PI, such as golf courses. Director Hurlburt explained that golf courses are generally zoned residential and the ordinance allows for such already. Planning Supervisor Senness stated that in order for it to be allowed the use must clearly subordinate to the primary use. For example, since alcohol is not customarily present at school, it would not be allowed as an accessory use. Commissioner Stoebner asked what the process would be for renting this facility and having liquor. Director Hurlburt stated that the operational policies have not been developed yet. Planning Supervisor Senness said that this does not preclude the regular process for serving alcohol. Chairman Stulberg asked where the decision comes from for allowing this at the activity center. Planning Supervisor Senness stated that the Parks and Recreations Department will have the guidelines to follow when renting out the facility. Director Hurlburt stated that the guidelines will be presented to the Council for their review and subsequent approval. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the issue. MOTION by Commissioner Stoebner, seconded by Commissioner Thompson recommending approval of an Ordinance amending the Plymouth City Code, by amending Chapter 21 with respect to liquor on-sale when accessory to a permitted use in the Public/Institutional Districts and Findings of Fact for amending Section 21475.07 (Accessory Uses in the City Center District) and Section 21650.05 (Accesson- Uses in the Public/Institutional District) of the Plymouth City Code. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 7. NEW BUSINESS: A. KARL & JOYCE POKORNY (98178) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by Karl and Joyce Pokorny for an Interim Home Occupation License to allow non-resident employees for an existing landscape business located at 1890 Troy Lane North. 246 DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes September 22, 1998 Page #247 Planner Drill gave an overview of the November 18, 1998 staff report. Planner Drill emphasized that the employment aspect is what is triggering the need for the license. Commissioner Thompson questioned why the Commission is to address the storage on the site. Planner Drill replied that because the applicant referred to outside storage in his narrative, it helps to clarify that no storage is allowed by having it in the resolution. Commissioner Berkowitz asked if the applicant came in on his own to apply for the license, or if it was the result of something else. Planner Drill responded that the applicant added a shed on their property a few months ago which may have raised some questions. Chairman Stulberg introduced Steven Sondrell, attorney representing the applicant. Mr. Sondrell presented letters from the following residents supporting the application: Tim & Lisa Curtin of 1745 Troy Lane, Chad & Nancy Nelson of 1705 Troy Lane, Dan and Annie Arnold of 1755 Troy Lane, Jeff & Susie Schlachtenhaufer of 18210 County Road 6, Dean & Rebecca Ribich of 1525 Troy Lane, Rud & Jeanne Marti of 1855 Troy Lane, March & Jackye McAlister of 1870 Troy Lane, and Donald & Ann Harris of 18545 20``' Avenue North. Mr. Sondrell requested that the Commission consider the applicant's request for a limited amount of exterior storage. Mr. Sondrell stated that the Commission should consider this request because the site is unique since there are two tracts of land. Tract A has the home on the site and Tract B is vacant. He said that the home occupation is located on tract A, and they are not proposing to store any exterior equipment on Tract A. Mr. Sondrell referenced Section 21350.03, Subd. 1 of the zoning ordinance stating that he interprets it to mean it would be a permitted use in the FRD District for a gardening or landscaping service. He said that as it relates to Tract B, some type of landscape operation is allowed. He referenced Section 21350.05 that states accessory uses incidental and customary to the uses allowed as permitted. Mr. Sondrell said that Section 21105.11 provides for some exterior storage of property on Tract B, as long as storage is screened and not visible from other properties. Mr. Sondrell stated that he would like to see Condition # 7 of the resolution altered to allow the applicant to keep some of the landscape material and some storage on Tract B. Chairman Stulberg introduced Karl Pokorny, the applicant. Mr. Pokorny stated that the property is residential and he wants to keep it that way. He said that storage is limited and he wants to keep his neighbors happy. Mr. Pokorny said that he would like to be able to keep up to five yards of soil and mulch on the site. Chairman Stulberg asked how the Commission would put in the resolution some limited amount of outside storage. Mr. Sondrell said that the applicant has stated certain amounts and would only need storage on site for the months of April through September. He added that they would be happy to work with staff on the specifics. 247 DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes September 22, 1998 Page #248 Commissioner Thompson stated that as he understands the Interim Use Permit and the Home Occupation License, it is not a means of gaining access to the uses that are not permitted. He said that the Commission could interpret that there is not exterior storage on Tract A. He stated that Mr. Sondrell's argument is based on the applicant owning two tracts of land. Commissioner Thompson said that he was thinking of deleting Condition #7 of the resolution as it doesn't belong in the Interim Use Permit as it should be dealing with the Home Occupation License. He said that he doesn't know how site is defined in the ordinance. Mr. Sondrell said that they are attempting to avoid interpretation problems in the future so that when there are staff changes, there won't be any question. He stated that the applicant proposed to build a storage shed on Tract B, but was told that you can't have an accessory building on a lot without a principal building. Mr. Sondrell stated that he doesn't think the Commission would be setting a precedent because this site is unique. Director Hurlburt commented that Section 2135.03, Subd. 1 section refers to agriculture and nurseries as it applies to state law, which is having 10 or more acres of land. She said that FRD is a residential zoning district. She stated that the applicant's use is a Home Occupation and the limitation on exterior storage does apply. She said that she can understand Commissioner's Thompson's concern with Condition #7 being in the resolution, but the Home Occupation Ordinance clearly states no outdoor storage and to allow any would clearly be a violation. Commissioner Thompson asked if it is really the Commission's authority -to speak on two different tracts and asked if Condition #7 should be deleted. Director Hurlburt replied that the condition was put in because of the narrative addressing the storage issue, and staff didn't want to ignore it. Tract B is not eligible for a Home Occupation Permit since there is no home for it to be an accessory to. She said that it would be fine to leave out Condition #7, but storage on Tract B is clearly a violation. Mr. Sondrell said that they are not intending to debate points of law, and they will comply with whatever the City wants; they only are asking if there is another way to look at their request. Commissioner Stoebner asked if there is a definition concerning storage as to how long something sits before it is considered storage. Planning Supervisor Senness stated that construction and landscaping materials related to construction on the lot are to be used within 12 months. Director Hurlburt commented that outdoor storage has a general provision for automobiles in excess of 96 hours along with refuse and junk. Commissioner Stoebner asked if that is limited to vehicles. Director Hurlburt replied affirmatively. 248 DRAFT �— Planning Commission Minutes September 22, 1998 Page #249 Chairman Stulberg introduced Mark McAlister of 1870 Troy Lane. Mr. McAlister stated that he is very familiar with Mr. Pokorny's operation. He said that if there is any concern by people, it might be related to traffic and safety. Mr. McAlister stated that he supports the application as it is limited and storage is minimal. Mr. McAlister commented that the applicant has maintained the private driveway on Troy Lane for all the neighbors. Mr. McAlister said that the amount that would be stored on Tract B would be insignificant. Chairman Stulberg introduced Dean Ribich of 1525 Troy Lane. Mr. Ribich stated that the business has not negatively affected the neighborhood at all. There is no significant noise or road damage issue. Mr. Ribich said that the applicant's business has been beneficial to all the neighbors. Mr. Ribich asked the Commission to recommend approval of the Interim Home Occupation License. Mr. Pokorny thanked the Commission for their consideration and staff for putting the proposal together. He said that he would like to store more materials, but would accept the conditions in the resolution. Chairman Stulberg thanked the applicant for coming forth to apply for the Interim Home Occupation License, as no one probably would have known differently. MOTION by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner recommending approval of an Interim Home Occupation License for Karl and Joyce Pokorny for property located at 1890 Troy Lane North. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner to delete the second sentence of Condition #7 of the approving resolution. Commissioner Berkowitz asked why not remove the entire condition. Commissioner Thompson said that the applicant may need the first part of the condition. Chairman Stulberg questioned that if the second sentence doesn't belong why does the first sentence. Commissioner Thompson said that it restates what is allowed. He said that if the applicant was to ever apply for a variance he would like him to have the full options available instead of restricting him. Chairman Stulberg said that would support taking out the entire condition. Roll Call Vote on MOTION to Amend. Vote. 3 Ayes. MOTION to Amend failed on a 3-3 Vote. (Commissioners Koehnen, Berkowitz and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay.) MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Berkowitz, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner to delete Condition #7 of the approving resolution. 249 DRAFT �. Planning Commission Minutes �— September 22, 1998 Page #250 Commissioner Thompson asked if the applicant can store live plants on the site if the condition is deleted. Planning Supervisor Senness said that the applicant couldn't for his landscaping businesses. Commissioner Koehnen asked if the condition could be put somewhere else. Director Hurlburt replied negatively. Commissioner Berkowitz commented that the request should be brought forward through another vehicle such as variance to allow outdoor storage. Director Hurlburt stated that there is no variance available to do something that violates the ordinance. She said having seen home occupations grow, you don't want to lose this as a standard as it could impact the neighborhood in the future. She stated that she doesn't know how you can grant the license when we know -another part may be violated. Commissioner Thompson said the condition should be deleted or just delete the second sentence. Mr. Pokorny asked that Condition #7 be left in the resolution. Director Hurlburt commented that it has its advantages to leave it in if staff receives any complaints. Roll Call Vote on MOTION to Amend. Vote. 2 Ayes. MOTION to Amend failed on a 2-4 Vote. (Commissioner Thompson, Koehnen, Stoebner and Ribbe voted Nay.) Vote on Main MOTION. 6 Ayes. Main MOTION approved unanimously. MOTION by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner to adjourn. Vote. 6 Ayes.

Along with a full-page write-up in the Environmental Extra of the Plymouth News, the City's recycling program sponsored a tent filled with children's activities promoting pollution prevention at the Autumn Arts Festival. Over three hundred children and their parents learned about pollution prevention while working on projects in the kids' craft tent. They hand printed picture frames, blew colorful bubbles, folded origami boxes, and made recycled paper. Each project was actually a lesson in pollution prevention designed by a senior Girl Scout troop and the City's Solid Waste Coordinator using information from the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance.

I did write an article about the program for our magazine, which came out pretty well, but it was edited down to a well-written but fairly brief note that appeared in the September 1998 issue (page 40, in case you missed it). This letter won't be perfect, either, but I'll simply say thank you for all the materials you have sent to us. We have received many unique and useful items we have never had before. They are all very much appreciated, and many of them have been used extensively in responding to requests from other member cities. I have identified them with a Friends of the Library sticker, so cities receiving them should be aware of how we obtained them. If I had to identify two items that have probably made the biggest overall improvement in our library collection, I think they might be requests for proposals and sample policies, each covering a wide range of subjects. To the extent that your city is willing to continue sending us materials, this would be great. In particular, any updates or revisions to manuals or ordinance codes that we received would be most appreciated, since we often have a problem keeping such documents current. I have enclosed a certificate that provides a small formal recognition of your contributions and hard work. The project has for the most part been very satisfying and rewarding for me, and I have certainly learned a great deal from my mistakes ---at least I hope so. If I didn't say thank you for your help often enough during the past many months, I do apologize and I thank you now.

These are my concerns and I hope that you will take them into consideration as you formulate your proposal. First of all, we are residents of the city of Plymouth and live In the Harrison Hills/Quail Hollow area (east of Zachary Lane — south of Bass Lake Road). I have always felt that we should be attending a school located in Plymouth. This would be Basswood Elementary, but we don't attend this school — we go to a school located in Maple Grove. My children currently attend Oakview Elementary. I believe that the School Board has set as one of their parameters "maintaining neighborhood and community schools". I think you have an opportunity to make this possible for our neighborhood. We face many difficulties as Plymouth residents attending Maple Grove schools. If we want to participate in Park and Recreation sports, activities, or special programs through the city of Plymouth or other activities such as Scouting; it is not the best situation. It is our preference to do this through Plymouth City because of the location of the facilities, practices, meetings, etc. — and the very fact that it's our city of residence. But our kids face the reality that they don't know anyone because we don't attend or associate with people who attend schools located in Plymouth. Our option then is to choose to do Park & Rec. and scouting through the City of Maple Grove. The advantage is that we and our kids know others participating in the programs because they are in our same schools. The drawback is the greater distances that we must travel for ball games, scout meetings, etc., are inability to participate because of those distances, and the fact that we don't know about most of the programs offered since we aren't Maple Grove citizens and don't get the mailings/flyers. This puts us in a situation that alienates us from the very city and community (Plymouth) that we chose to live in. As it is, our kids can't walk or ride their bikes to their schoolmates' houses because the majority of Oakview students live in Maple Grove. The kids that are close to our neighborhood all go to Basswood but we don't have the opportunity to know these families. Our children deserve the ability to interact (both socially and to study) with schoolmates that live within close proximity to our home. The way the current boundaries are drawn and your proposed shift from west to east, doesn't give them that opportunity. If you send our area/neighborhood eastward to Edgewood Elementary and North View Jr. High —you are alienating ul even more from "our community". Do we then move our kids to Park and Rec. in Brooklyn Park, which is even farther away than we already must go ? 80'd 9I66IL09 'ON XdA MUM NdOINNWd Wd ZI:LO 03M 86-ZO-030 December 2. 1998 " Page 2 Please, please don't do this !! Second of all, I see Highway 169 as a huge barrier — a very obvious boundary line. We chose to live in the westem suburbs for a reason. We want to stay on the west side of Hwy. 169. After viewing the replay of your initial public meeting with the School Board (11-19-98), I would be very willing to accept your idea of splitting Oakview and Cedar Island into a K-3 and 4-6 grade situation and then feeding to Maple Grove Jr. High and Maple Grove Sr. High. Please do what is necessary to make this work. This doesn't meet our goals of going sto a school located in Plymouth, but it would be an acceptable compromise. P e in ou Parr Finally, by husband and I have worked very hard to get where we are today, trying to achieve a higher standard of living and giving our children something a little bit better. We don't want to attend schools in an area where we don't feel comfortable. If you move us eastward — you are "demoting" us. We have lived in those types of areas already, and we didn't like it. We worked hard to get away from those neighborhoods and into an area that offered safer and better schools. Schools where SAT scores and scholastic levels were higher and would challenge our children to work harder. Please don't blindly move us to schools in the eastern part of the district, where those standards are lower. This would adversely impact our family and our children's future. Please keen us in our community. We live in Plymouth: we want to 00 to school in EjIMOLIM. Sincerely, Lad L.
