The meeting is sched- uled for Thursday, July 9, 1998 from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. The meeting is open to all AMM members and will be held in the St. Croix Room of the League of Minnesota Cities Building. The meeting will be a question and answer discussion. Several questions and comments from member cities have been for- warded to the Auditor and will be the basis for the discussion.

In fact, half of the County's misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors are processed, heard, and disposed of in these three divisions. According to court statistics, these divisions are doing an excellent job. But we recognize that the divisions receive an incredible amount of support and cooperation from the police, prosecutors, and the communities and their leaders. There are also many resources and community programs that operate within individual cities providing responses and dispositional alternatives to address the problems of crime within the communities these divisions serve. Recognizing the important contributions your community makes to improve the livability and quality of life of your citizens and the value of learning from the successful efforts of our neighbors, the Court is initiating a program to bring these resources together. By bringing government, community, business, and church leaders together with law enforcement, prosecution, and defense attorneys, probation, court administration, and the Court to exchange information, discuss issues of mutual concern, and explore new ideas to improve efforts to reduce crime in our communities, an even better result may be achieved in the future. with your assistance the Court hopes to improve upon an already successful system of community justice, to learn from it, and apply what we learn to improve court response and performance. Information gained in the process may also be of tremendous assistance as we evaluate responses to crime in other communities within the metropolitan area. To All Mayors July 2, 1998 Page Two The Court is enthusiastic about this initiative and looks forward to working with you and your community. It would be helpful if you could please send me the name, address, and telephone number of (1) your chief of police, (2) your criminal prosecutor, (3) any individual designated to handle criminal justice issues for your community, and (4) any community leaders or organizations you would like to see involved in this initiative. Thank you very much for your help in identifying these individuals. I look forward to working with you as we move forward with this initiative. Si ely, Judge Catherine L.

Jame ton Marketing Representative Helping Minnesotans help themselves achieve economic security For More Information: • Date for hearing on planning options to be set • Call Community Development at 509,5450 • Financial analysis of planning options released New documents available on the web • Check the City Web Site at www.ci.plymouth.mn.us • E -Mail us at A]Huribur@ci.plymouth.mn.us A Newsletter for Residents and oNrth'westLandowners Issue 7 July 9, 1998 PlanningCommission to hold public®C ITY OF hearing on planning options in August st or PLYMOUTH- September Date to be set when Commission meets on July 14 The Planning Commission, at its June 30 workshop meeting, decided that it will hold a formal public hearing to obtain additional comment before making its recommendation to the City Council on a preferred planning option for Northwest Plymouth. On July 14, the Commission's next regular meeting, they will determine the date and time. The date will be announced in the August Plymouth News and a notice mailed to everyone on the Northwest Notes mailing list. The last issue of Northwest Notes reported that the Commission would be making its recommendation of the preferred planning option to the City Council at its July 14 meeting. However, the Commission and several City Council members who also participated in the workshop discussion felt that another opportunity should be extended for public comment before making a recommendation that would determine the course of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update. The hearing will be scheduled as a special meeting so that the Commission can devote its full attention to the public comment. After the public hearing, the Planning Commission expects to recommend to the City Council which of the three basic options under review— No Urban Expansion to 2020, Partial Urban Expansion to 2020, and Complete Urban Area Expansion— will be selected as the basis of the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City Council will consider the Planning Commission's recommendation at a meeting or meetings yet to be scheduled. The City's Finance Department has completed its analysis of impact of the three planning options on the City of Plymouth's General Fund. Financial Analyst Mike Kohn presented the report to the Planning Commission at its June 30 workshop meeting. Kohn explained that the General Fund represents approximately 95.5% of the City's total tax levy, but is only a part of the tax bill received by residents and landowners. The report did not attempt to address the impacts of the options on the other taxing entities such as the Wayzata and Osseo school districts. The forecasts and demographic information are being shared with the school districts so that they may comment on what impacts the options might have on their facility needs and finances. The financial analysis looked at the impacts on operating revenues and expenditures as well as comparing one- time revenues and one-time expenditures. If operating expenditures exceed operating revenues the City would have to cut services or raise taxes. If one-time costs exceed one- time revenues the City would find it difficult to provide these necessary capital items without raising taxes. The primary conclusion of the report is that none of the options should negatively affect the City's 2 Northwest Notes July 1998 financial position. The study showed that development would increase the revenue base at a rate greater than any required growth in expenditures. This might allow the City to lower its tax rate, expand services, or fund one-time capital costs without raising taxes. In addition, it appears that one-time development revenues could cover the capital costs of growth. Generally, more development would have a greater positive impact on the City's General Fund. The report notes several factors that help explain the results of the study. The City has reached a point where future development will benefit from economies of scale, and the marginal cost of serving each additional home will be less than the average cost for serving existing City residents. And generally new development would have an average market value somewhat greater than that of the rest of the City, although that would not be necessary for the new development to pay its own way. Consequently, this new development would shoulder a proportionally greater share of the tax burden.

Member Highlight Small Business Week Tribute During Small Business Week, the Chamber paid tribute to the Fortin and Schiebe families for their many years of business and great support of the Chamber. The Chamber recognized the Fortin family for over 78 years of busi- ness in the Fortin Hardware Store. The property where the current Fortin hard- ware store stands was purchased in about 1910 by Albert Fortin. He built a store on the property, but leased it to his brother Philip, who ran a grocery store. The hardware store evolved as they sold various items out of the shed in the rear of the property. At first they were only open part-time and had a bell that rang to the house when some- one needed service. Shortly after WWI, Albert moved the hardware business to its present location. The hardware business had a com- plimentary business in the shed, now a shop and dealership for farm imple- ments and appliances. Originally they had a John Deere franchise, but changed to Allis Chalmers in 1939, feeling this particular farming commu- nity needed a smaller line of tractors - and equipment. In 1962 they changed to International with the Cub and Ca- det lines of tractors. Paul, Kenneth, and Gerald took over the operation from their father Albert. Albert's daughter, JoAnne, also retained ownership in the store. Paul phased into retirement around age 80; Kenneth and Gerald were actively running the store along with Gerald's wife Dorothy until the store was sold to Scott and Alicia House in 1997. The Schicbc family was also given recognition for their 42 years of busi- ness in the Schiebe Hardware Store. Harvey and Loan Schiebe started their hardware business in 1955 in the area commonly known as Schicbe's Cor - Loren, Harvey and Fere: Schiebe receive a plaque from Harold Winterhaller, Corporate Compensation Plans, in recognition of 42 years of business in Schiebe Hardware. Board member Harold Winterhalter, Corporate Compensation Plans, presents a plaque to Kenneth Fortin in tribute to the Fortin family for 78 years of busi- ness in Fortin Hardware. ner, located at the comer of Hwy. 55 and Co. Rd. 73, an area settled by Harvey and Loren's great grandfather Carl. They operated as a partnership until 1968 when Harvey bought Loren's share of the business. During that period they also sold boats and sporting goods, as well as serviced lawn and garden equipment and out- board motors. In 1970 the service to these products was discontinued, and Harvey provided a full-service hard- ware business. Harvey's wife, Ferri, has been his partner in business, tak- ing care of administrative duties. From 1963 to 1980 a contract branch Post Office was maintained. Harvey decided to retire in 1997 and was not able to find a suitable buyer, so the business was ultimately closed. Harvey and Fern are now en- joying retirement. 1995 Annual Golf Tournament Highlights The 10th Annual Golf Tournament was played Tuesday, June 9th, at Elm Creek Golf Links of PLymouth.

Reilly. hynnesota Sun Publications Hennepin County District Court has established a Suburban Community Court Project, chaired by Hopkins resi- dent Judge Catherine L. Anderson. The Suburban Community Court Pro- ject works to coordinate community lead- ers, businesses, churches, law enforce- ment and court personnel to find new so- lutions to crime, according to a press re- lease from Chief Judge Daniel Mabley. According to District Court informa- tion, half of all misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor crime in Hennepin County is handled by three suburban court loca- tions: Brookdale District Court, Ridgedale District Court and Southdale District Court. Crimes such as traffic offenses, misdemeanors, implied consent hearings and unlawful detainers are processed at these three courts for 30 separate commu- nities including' Bloomington, Excelsior, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Richfield, Robbins - dale, St. Louis Park and Wayzata. Of the cases, 85 percent are misde- meanor and petty misdemeanor offenses, termed "livability crimes" by the courts. A livability crime is one which affects the quality of life in a community. Quality of life is important, said An- derson. Anderson became a lawyer be- cause she was interested in having a ca- reer where she could make a difference. "Law would give me the education and tools to make a difference," she said. Mabley chose Anderson to head this initiative because of her long-time in- volvement with suburban and communi- ty affairs, according to information from his office.. The. Suburban Community ,Cour,t Project.will'try to find new solu- tion� to increased crime in the subuibs, Anderson said. ., But; she said, "Rather than reinvent- ing the wheel, we need to examine what we.are doing right in the suburbs and what we can use in the city. "There is a lot we can learn about what we are doing right," she said. "Every com- munity has programs that may work for other communities." Anderson and her staff have been con- tacting leaders in the 30 cities which the community court serves, she said. This is part of an effort to "create a channel of communication between the community and suburban courts," said Anderson. "My role is to be a facilitator," she said. "My objective is to share ideas and infor- mation with other.people." She said the court wants to work with communities to provide the best response to community crime issues.

Partici- pants in the project have begun contacting business, civic and religious leaders and anv organizations that may have an in- terest in the initiative. Anderson also said that she has been combining efforts with other members of the judicial community. "We need to capitalize on the limited resources we have," Anderson said. A Hopkins resident for 25 years, An- derson was born in Marshall and came to the Twin Cities area to attend the Univer- sity of Minnesota for undergraduate work and law school. She has been in litigation and public policy law her entire career and joined the Hennepin County District Court bench in 1991. She was elected to the Criminal Justice Council of the American Bar Association and has served on the Governor's Commission on Violent Crime and the Governor's Crime Symposium. CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOTES Workshop on Comprehensive Plan Update—Northwest Area June 30, 1998 MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Mike Stulberg, Commissioners Allen Ribbe, Bob Stein, Roger Berkowitz, John Stoebner and Jeffrey Thompson MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Kim Koehnen STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Director Anne Hurlburt, Assistant City Manager Kathy Lueckert, Planning Supervisor Barb Senness, Financial Analyst Mike Kohn, Planner John Rask and Planner Kendra Lindahl OTHERS PRESENT: Mayor Joy Tierney, City Council Members Judy Johnson, Tim Bildsoe and Ginny Black; Consultant David Licht, Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC) Chair Stulberg called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. Consultant Licht reviewed the work that had occurred to date, including the interactive community meeting held in May of 1997 and the open house meeting held in April of 1998 to review the draft plan options. He briefly reviewed memos provided to the Commission containing updated population and household forecasts, and demographic projections of the population age structure. Financial Analyst Mike Kohn summarized the results of the Fiscal Analysis and the report provided to the Commission. He stated that the analysis shows that more development is a net benefit to the City's general fund operating costs, and that one-time costs of new development would be covered by the one-time revenues from sources such as building permits. Development would result in revenues exceeding the costs to provide services to the new development. The City benefits from economies of scale so that the marginal cost of serving new residents is reduced. He and Director Hurlburt answered questions about the report and the assumptions the analysis was based upon. Director Hurlburt explained that the report does not address fiscal impacts on the two school districts that would be affected by additional urban expansion, but that the staff and consultant would be following up with both the Wayzata and Osseo districts to review the demographic projections. June 30, 1998 Meeting Notes Page 2 Consultant Licht reviewed the background considerations for Plymouth's planning decisions, including the draft land use and development staging plans recently released by Maple Grove. He explained that there are two levels of decisions the City must make. First there must be a broad "macro" scale consideration of to what extent if any is growth to occur in the northwest area. Once that decision has been made, a narrower "micro" scale evaluation can take place on the detailed aspects of the plan for the area including land uses, land use transitions, street improvements, community facilities and services and environmental protection. Consultant Licht reviewed the criteria and factors to be evaluated to determine which plan option is best for the area and the community as a whole. He reviewed the regional policies for urban expansion and sewer service and how they apply to Plymouth. He explained that the region is expected to grow by 700,000 people in the next 20 years and that this growth is expected to be absorbed into the Metro Council's illustrative 2020 MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area), which includes all of northwest Plymouth. Commissioner Berkowitz asked if most of this growth is expected to go into areas already developed. Licht responded that if the growth can't be accommodated in existing urban areas and areas identified for MUSA expansion, the growth will occur elsewhere such as outlying communities and the area may not reach the forecasted growth. Commissioner Stein asked if there would be penalties from the Metro Council if a city does not urbanize. Hurlburt explained that the Metro Council is currently discussing this, particularly in the area of sewers if regional investments are made and a community does not develop as regional policy would indicate. The Elm Creek interceptor will probably be needed to serve Medina even if northwest Plymouth doesn't urbanize, and the Metro Council may want Plymouth to share the cost. These issues are still under discussion and some legislative changes may be needed to implement any penalties. Hurlburt explained that the Metropolitan Council does have authority to require cities to modify their comprehensive plans if they are inconsistent with regional system plans. However, they prefer to negotiate with the community. Licht pointed out that since zoning must reflect the comprehensive plan, if the Metro Council requires a plan modification they essentially require the property be zoned accordingly. Commissioner Berkowitz pointed out that within the Osseo School District there is a problem with Plymouth students getting shuffled from one school to another. We should make sure that the school district is aware of this problem. Hurlburt explained that the consultations with the Osseo district during the "tactics" interviews last year identified this as an issue, and that the City had given them information on potential school sites within Plymouth and showed a possible school location on the plan maps. Commissioner Thompson asked if we had asked the City Attorney what rights we have with the Metropolitan Council. Hurlburt explained that there was no case law on the Metropolitan Council requiring plan modifications. Staff will provide a copy of this June 30, 1998 Meeting Notes DK`hAFT Page 3 portion of the law to Commissioners. Licht indicated that any single factor, such as regional policy, should not dictate the City's decision on the best option. Commissioner Stein asked if there was a "hybrid" option that could be considered. Chair Stulberg said that would be for the Commission to build. Licht explained that once the basic concept was chosen, it was likely that some changes or alternatives would be developed for land use plans and public facility plans. Councilmember Johnson asked if the City doesn't urbanize the area west of Vicksburg would we have to pay for the Elm Creek interceptor. Hurlburt said that was a separate decision and would have to be negotiated with the Metro Council. Councilmember Black asked if the city gets slapped with a fee for not developing, if the people in the already developed area pay or if the city could assess the cost to the people in northwest Plymouth. Hurlburt said that the City couldn't assess for an improvement or facility that is not provided. If there were costs to the City's sewer fund, only users of the sewer system would pay. The fiscal analysis did not assume any general fund impact for sewer system costs. Licht pointed out that if the City does not utilize the Elm Creek interceptor and relies only on the existing connection to the Metropolitan system, that might actually accelerate the need for the interceptor to provide sewer service to Medina which now receives service through Plymouth's trunk system. Commissioner Stein asked about the pressures for Plymouth to expand roads if other communities around us develop. Licht said that as the southwest corner of Maple Grove fills up, there will be an impact on Plymouth streets as these people travel to I-494 and other regional highways. As the freeways become more congested, there will be more pressure on local streets which will be used as alternatives. Stein asked whether the County or State could step in to upgrade the roads. Hurlburt explained that the major north to south routes through the northwest area (Peony and Vicksburg) are City streets and the County and state are not interested in acquiring more roads. The financial analysis assumed that the money the City receives from the state for state aid roads would pay for needed upgrades to these facilities. Licht pointed out that the roads will be impacted whether or not the City improves them or not, and that sooner or later congestion could spill over onto local streets and safety could become an issue. Commissioner Stein asked why we weren't pushing for an access to 1-494 at Schmidt Lake Road if north to south transportation routes will be an issue. Hurlburt explained that the land uses in the northwest area would not determine the need for another interchange, but that congestion at the existing interchanges will determine the need. However, if there is too much congestion on the freeway itself an interchange might not be possible. The transportation plan will need to examine the need for an interchange. June 30, 1998 Meeting Notes Page 4 r"004 A F T Commissioner Thompson asked how the City could make a wise decision on land use if we don't know if adequate transportation facilities will be available. Licht explained that the land uses in northwest Plymouth will not determine whether the major roadways can handle the traffic as the roads will be impacted by all the development in the northwest part of the Metro area and beyond. Not enough development could go into the northwest area to make a difference on I-494. Commissioner Thompson asked how the alternatives relate to the Livable Communities Act requirements. Hurlburt explained that Livable Communities is voluntary, but the City is required to have a housing plan. Assumptions on densities have been made similar to our current plan and adopted goals. Thompson asked how the plan fits with the regional density goals. Licht explained that the goal (3 units per net acre for single family) would be met in the urban area, but the City will not achieve the Metro Council's population forecasts without complete urbanization. Chair Stulberg opened the floor for public comments. A resident asked whether the Commission and Council members had visited the northwest area. The area is not what it used to be, there is already a lot of traffic. Chair Stulberg answered that he lives in the area, and the other members indicated that they have visited the area as well. Mr. Tom Reiersgord said that the regional plan was not done right to begin with and that the battle was lost long ago; the area is already urbanized. He cited the location of the new high school and road improvements affecting his property at the northeast corner of Schmidt Lake Road and Peony. He said that growth should not occur from east to west, but from north to south, as was done with the most recent adjustments to the City's MUSA boundary. He said that the only sensible solution is to plan for full development. A resident stated that technology is increasing and change is happening too fast to make 20 -year plans today. He said that the City should err on the side of more choice for individuals. Mr. Paul Wardell stated that attendance at meetings had been dwindling since the interactive forum last year, and that two-thirds of the people in the northwest area said there should be no development and the Commission should remember that. He said there was a perception that the City would do whatever they want and the opinions of the residents will be disregarded. He said that we need to decide what we want the spirit of the community to be. Are we going to be another suburb like everyone else or are we going to be special? Why couldn't kids see horses and cows in Plymouth 20 years from now? Hurlburt stated that the statistics quoted from the 1997 interactive forum by Mr. Wardell were not correct. Participants at that meeting were more evenly divided among no development, full development or some development, similar to the responses to the surveys from the May 1998 open house. June 30, 1998 Meeting Notes DRAFT Page 5 I — z A resident asked why she should provide the open space for people to come and look at, when it is less and less feasible to farm her land. Mr. Albert Yngve said you are fooling yourselves if you think this small area of northwest Plymouth is not going to develop. A resident asked how long a wait it would be before she could develop her land. Director Hurlburt answered that it would be some time before the City completed and adopted the revised comprehensive plan, so it could be a year before landowners could make plans based on a new plan. A representative of the Lake Camelot Homeowners Associated asked what the next steps would be. Chair Stulberg asked Director Hurlburt to review the activities of the project so far and all the opportunities for public comment that had been provided so far. He stated that the next step would be the July 14 Planning Commission meeting which would be a public hearing before the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council. Discussion among Commission and Councilmembers followed concerning whether additional opportunities for public input should be provided, including notifying residents in the rest of the City, and whether sufficient notice could be given prior to the July 14 meeting. It was pointed out that the City Council was unlikely to take up the matter until after they had finished with the 1999 budget, and that the Commission needed to hold a thorough hearing so that the Council would not need to duplicate their efforts. It was decided that a hearing would not be held on July 14; rather, the Commission will at that meeting set a date for a public hearing to be held at a later date that will allow for advertising the meeting date in the Plymouth News. The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m. DRAFT CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 23,1998 MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Mike Stulberg, Commissioners John Stoebner (arrived at 7:07 p.m.), Kim Koehnen, Roger Berkowitz, and Allen Ribbe MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioners Bob Stein and Jeff Thompson STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Director Anne Hurlburt, Planning Supervisor Barb Senness, Planners John Rask and Shawn Drill, and Clerical Supervisor Denise Hutt 1.

Mr. Morris stated that he understands the condition in the resolution pertaining to the accessible ramp and parking lot stripping and will be in compliance. Chairman Stulberg asked why the stripping and handicap ramp has not been completed since it was part of the original Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Morris stated that the ramp is in place, but the subcontractor is waiting for the City to tell them what kind of railing they need. Mr. Morris stated that according to Cheney Properties they are on a waiting list for the stripping. He said that Cheney Properties, just hired a new contact person and they haven't been able to get in touch with him regarding when the stripping would be done. DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes June 23, 1998 Page #126 Chairman Stulberg asked Mr. Morris if he understood that he can't open the pro shop until the stripping and ramp are completed. Mr. Morris answered affirmatively. Chairman Stulberg asked if Mr. Morris was aware that the Conditional Use Permit is subject to revocation. Mr. Morris stated yes. Chairman Stulberg commented that he has a hard time approving a second Conditional Use Permit when the conditions of the first Conditional Use Permit have not yet been met. Commissioner Koehnen asked if the hours of operation were part of the original Conditional Use Permit. Planner Dill responded negatively. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the issue.

Planner Rask gave an overview of the June 16, 1998 staff report. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Matt VanSlooten, the petitioner. Mr. Van Slooten stated that the reason for the expansion is due to the fact that they want to create a more open environment for employees. He said that it was an ideal opportunity for Carlson to take over the entire facility when Redmond Products decided to vacate. Commissioner Ribbe asked if they anticipate a separate group operating a day care facility on the site. Mr. VanSlooten replied that they will be contracting with a service provider for the day care that will be used entirely by their employees. He added that if there is not enough demand for the day care by their employees, they will open it up to others. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the issue. DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes June 23, 1998 Page #127 MOTION by Commissioner Koehnen, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Carlson Real Estate Company for property located at 1405 Xenium Lane North. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. GRANDMA'S RESTAURANT COMPANY (98085) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by Grandma's Restaurant Company for a Variance to increase the allowable surface square footage of a pylon sign from 96 square feet to 132 square feet for property located at 3000 Harbor Lane North. Planner Rask gave an overview of the June 17, 1998 staff report. Commissioner Berkowitz asked what the rationale is for Condition #2C. Planner Rask stated that it could be argued that all variance applications may increase the value of the property or income potential. He stated that approval of a variance needs to be based on a hardship that denies a reasonable use of the property, as opposed to a mere inconvenience. Commissioner Berkowitz asked if the finding is required in order to approve the variance resolution. Director Hurlburt stated that it probably doesn't need to be in the resolution. Commissioner Stoebner suggested that the word "exclusively" be added to the condition. Chairman Stulberg introduced Brian Daugherty, the petitioner. Mr. Daugherty read a letter from Minnesota Logos stating that Grandma's business logo could not be added to the blue highway signs because the business is not visible enough from Highway 55 or Interstate 494. MOTION by Commissioner Koehnen, seconded by Commissioner Berkowitz recommending approval of a Sign Variance for Grandma's Restaurant for property located at 3000 Harbor Lane North, including amending Condition #2c to add the word "exclusively." Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 8. OTHER BUSINESS A. CITY OF PLYMOUTH (98103) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by the City of Plymouth recommending cancellation of a public hearing on a text amendment for the O -R Zoning District. DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes June 23, 1998 Page #128 Planning Supervisor Senness gave an overview of the June 16, 1998 staff report and stated that no action is required. Director Hurlburt reminded the Commissioners of the meeting on June 30, 1998 in the public safety training room. She stated that a packet will be sent out on Friday. Director Hurlburt stated that the item will tentatively be on the July 14" Planning Commission agenda. Commissioner Berkowitz asked how long proposed development signs stay up. Director Hurlburt stated the signs remain up until after City Council action. MOTION by Commissioner Ribbe, seconded by Commissioner Berkowitz to adjourn the meeting. Vote. 5 Ayes.

Presentation by Mort Ryweck. Mort Ryweck, League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions, presented several project ideas relating diversity training, disability awareness (ADA survey), working with the schools, and publicity. He suggested that the Commission should bring in key people (School Supt., Police Chief, Mayor, Chamber of Commerce representative, etc.) once each year for a discussion on their perception of human rights issues in the schools, city, and businesses. Presentation by Gloria Lindberg, Gloria Lindberg, Public Information Representative of the Baha'is of Plymouth presented information on their faith and upcoming sponsored events. She was accompanied by Joan Jensen. They invited Commissioners to participate in a Race Unity discussion on June 16 at the Plymouth Library. Proposed Resolution. Commissioners reviewed and amended the draft resolution to the City Council. It will be placed on the next meeting agenda for adoption. Next Meeting. The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, July 9. The meeting closed at 9 p.m. Plymouth Human Rights Commission May 7, 1998 Minutes Present: Ruth Ruffin, Akash Srisvastava, Jessica Timman, Laurie Levi, Gordon Order, Jeff Richards, Art Johnson, Nathan Michael, Mitzi Heath, Rebecca Wheeler, Council Coordinating Representative Saundra Spigner, and City Clerk Laurie Ahrens Absent: Anna Richey, Jackie Fraedrich Call to Order Ruth Ruffin called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Hate Crimes Conference Ruth Ruffin and Gordon Ortler expressed interest in attending the state-wide hate crimes conference on May 19. Staff will submit the registration. Resignation Laurie Ahrens said that Frenchie Henderson has announced her resignation from the Commission. Approve Minutes Motion was made by Gordon Ortler, seconded by Rebecca Wheeler, to approve the March 5 minutes. Motion unanimously carried. Diversity Materials Ruth Ruffin distributed information on cultural diversity for Commission review. Draft Resolution for City Council Commissioners felt that the resolution should have several purposes. The resolution could initiate an active dialogue between the HRC and City Council. This would encourage the City Council to forward productive work to the HRC, with the HRC making an accountable response to the City Council. The resolution could recommit the HRC to its goals and affirm its desire to be proactive. The history and major accomplishments of the HRC would be noted in the resolution. Saundra Spigner suggested that the Chair or Vice Chair should present the resolution to the City Council for concurrence so the HRC can move forward with the plan. Commissioners used the resolution that established the HRC in 1993, as well as the Mission Statement and list of completed activities, to provide the framework for a new resolution. Saundra Spigner suggested that the primary focus of the HRC should be on the City staff and community, rather than the schools. The school systems have good resources and diversity programs in place. Commission members provided suggestions for the resolution. Staff will redraft and mail to. Commissioners for comments. The resolution will be on the next agenda for adoption. Retreat Follow-up - Task List A decision was made to focus on two opportunities and related tasks which were identified at the March retreat: 1) Have the City Council adopt a resolution on diversity as a policy for the city; and 2) Focus on emphasizing diversity/human rights issues with city and city staff. Motion was made by Ruth Ruffin, seconded by Jeff Richards, to authorize Rebecca Wheeler to contact the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions to determine the process for appointing a member to that body and to offer to host a regional Idea Exchange meeting. Motion unanimously carried. Jeff Richards and Ruth Ruffin will get the schedules of the Human Rights Commission meetings in other cities and present a suggestion at the next meeting for occasional Plymouth Human Rights Commission member attendance at other meetings. A subcommittee consisting of Mitzi Heath, Ruth Ruffin, Nathan Michael, Jeff Richards, Rebecca Wheeler, Art Johnson, and Gordon Ortler was established to develop a proposed diversity policy for the City and to develop diversity training for all employees. The task of attending City Council meetings to see how the council deals with diversity issues was deleted. HRC Award for Businesses Gordon Ortler presented his suggestion for a business human rights award. He suggested criteria that could be considered for the award. Commissioners conceptually favored the program. Nathan Michael suggested that the business award program should occur at a different time of the year than the citizen Human Rights Award. A subcommittee consisting of Gordon Ortler, Akash Srisvastava, Jessica Timman, and Saundra Spigner will work on a proposal for the program, including refining the criteria and planning publicity. Ruth Ruffin adjourned the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Next meeting: June 4, 1998 7:00 p.m. DATE: July 7, 1998 TO: Dwight Johnson, City Manager FROM: Anne Hurlburt, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Hennepin County Adult Correctional Facility (HCACF) Population Report When the City Council met with Hennepin County Board members to discuss the HCACF, they asked to be provided with periodic reports on the occupancy of the facility. Attached is the report that was provided by Hennepin County staff for the month of June 1998. This is the same report given the Board of Commissioners. We will be receiving these reports every month and I will forward them to you for distribution to the City Council. You will note that they report the population as an "average daily population." As we learned, the population tends to peak on weekends, which was typically when the occupancy limit set by the Conditional Use Permit was exceeded. These peaks are not shown by this report. It does appear that even on an average basis the occupancy limit (601) was exceeded in March, and may have been in April and May depending upon how many of the 16 beds reserved for juveniles in the Women's Section were actually occupied. r memo ' Y r Recycled Paper Date: July 6 , 1998 To: Board of Hennepin County Commissioners From: Sigmund Fine, Corrections Administrator Subject: County Correctional Facility Population Report - June, 1998 As requested, please find attached the average daily population reports for the Adult Corrections Facility, the Juvenile Detention Center, and the County Home School for the month of June, 1998. PLEASE NOTE the change in format to reflect figures for the County Home School which is more descriptive and locates vacant bids by program. Charting the Home School graphically will resume in August.

VE Attached is the Table of Contents and Summary of Results of a Customer Survey that was conducted on February 26, 1998. There were actually three different surveys conducted that day on the Express Commuter portion (Routes 91 ABCD and Routes 93 ABC), Reverse Commuter portion (Routes 92 ACD), and the Dial -A -Ride portion of the Plymouth Metrolink system. It took a great deal of time to tabulate all of the results and the final document is approximately 50 pages in length. The survey results were presented to the Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit (PACT) at their May 27, 1998 meeting. It is my intention to provide the complete document to members of the City Council Transit Subcommittee at a meeting in the near future. I thought it would be interesting to provide the entire Council with the summary of the document and let them know that complete copies are available for their review in my office or if they desire to receive a complete copy, I would be happy to provide it to them. attachments N:\pw\Engintering\TRANSMMEMOS\98\98—Metroink—Survey.doc L 3 b PLYMOUTH METROLINK 1998 CUSTOMER SURVEY Conducted 2/26/98 Plymouth Metrolink 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 (612) 509-5521 3b PLYMOUTH METROLINK 1998 CUSTOMER SURVEY RESULTS TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Appendix: Survey Forms PLYMOUTH METROLINK 1998 CUSTOMER SURVEY SUMMARY The 1998 Plymouth Metrolink customer survey was conducted on February 26, 1998. Of an estimated 551 passengers, 280 or 50.8% responded to the survey (compared to 259 in 1996). There were three different surveys conducted: • Commuter Portion (Routes 91ABCD and Routes 93 ABC) - 187 responses (168 in 1996) • Reverse Commuter Portion (Routes 92ACD) - 45 responses (44 in 1996) • Dial -A -Ride Portion - 48 responses (47 in 1996) Response totals per route were as follows: • 91A- 11 • 91B - 12 • 91C - 24 • 91D - 10 • 92A - 7 • 92C-6 • 92D - 32 • 93A - 93 • 93B-9 • 93C-7 • 93B or C - 21 (This group rode either the 93B or 93C but did not indicate which on their survey responses.) • Dial -A -Ride - 48 Summarizing the results of the survey is difficult because of the wide range of services provided by Plymouth Metrolink, however the following observations can be made: RIDER CHARACTERISTICS • Most respondents (74.9%) ride five days per week. This is slightly more than indicated in the 1996 survey ("more than two-thirds"). 10.8% of respondents ride four days per week. The next highest response rate was for two days per week (5.7%), largely due to Dial -A -Ride responses. 1 E,?6 • 61.4% of all respondents have a car available, while 38.6% do not. The number of respondents with cars available is down slightly from the two-thirds indicated in the 1996 survey. - Commuter respondents indicated that 81.7% (up from 77% in 1996) have a car available while 18.3% do not. - Reverse commuter respondents indicated that 11.1 % have a car available and 88.9% do not. - Dial -A -Ride respondents indicated that 24.4% (down from one-third in 1996) have a car available and 75.6% do not. • If the bus were not available, 46.5% would drive alone (down from "over half' in the 1996 survey), while 17.0% would carpool (down from 25% in 1996). 20.2% would not make the trip if the bus were not available (up from 16% in 1996), and 16.3% marked "other" and wrote they would take a cab, ride with a spouse or a friend, would drive to a park and ride lot somewhere else, or weren't sure. - Commuters responses indicated that 63.9% would drive alone, 17.8% would carpool, 7.8% would not make the trip and 10.5% checked "other." - Reverse commuter respondents said that 15.6% would drive alone, 15.6% would carpool, 46.6% would not make the trip and 22.2% checked "other." - Dial -A -Ride respondents stated that 4.3% of them would drive alone, 15.2% would carpool, 45.7% would not make the trip (up from 35% in 1996) and 34.8% checked "other." • 60.9% of those responding to the survey were women, compared to two-thirds in 1996. - 66.5% of commuters were women and 33.5% were men. - 31.8% of reverse commuters were women and 68.2% were men. - 66.7% of Dial -A -Ride riders were women and 33.3% were men. • The average age was 41-45 (compared to 36-40 in 1996). • Household income of respondents is widely diverse, and spread fairly evenly among income groups. There is a significant difference between household incomes of commuters and those of reverse commuters and Dial -A -Ride passengers. - 52.9% of commuters have household incomes over $50,000 (compared to 41% in 1996). Only 9.1% have household incomes under $30,000. - 6.6% of reverse commuters have household incomes of over $50,000. 71.1% have household incomes under $30,000. - 10.5% of Dial -A -Ride respondents have household incomes of over $50,000. 60.4% have household incomes under $30,000. 47.9% have household incomes under $20,000 (compared to one-quarter in the 1996 survey). - 18.2% of respondents did not answer this question (compared to nearly 25% in 1996). • The main reasons given by respondents for using Metrolink service were convenience and cost savings (including downtown parking costs), the same as in 1996. Reverse commuters and Dial -A - Ride respondents indicated that they do not drive and convenience as their primary reasons, the same as in 1996. 2 T -3b SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS The bus trip for Plymouth Metrolink passengers takes approximately 10 minutes more than the same trip by car, similar to the 1996 survey. Dial -A -Ride passengers indicate that the same trip by car takes 15-20 minutes less than by bus, the same as the 1996 survey. • Riders learned of Plymouth Metrolink service primarily by word of mouth (30.4%), by seeing buses on the streets (25.7%) and through the schedules (21.6%). Nearly 50% of Dial -A -Ride passengers learned of the service by word of mouth. Reverse commuter passengers learned of the service by word of mouth (34.0%) and schedules (28.0%). Few riders learned of the service via the local newspapers (4.1%) or by posters and flyers (6.0%). These results are similar to the 1996 survey. • The largest number of passengers on Routes 91 and 93 need to be downtown between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. (36.5%). 18.2% need to be downtown between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., and 12.1% between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. 15.5% need to be downtown between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m., and 10.5% between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. • 41.8% of Route 91 and 93 passengers want to leave downtown before 4:00 p.m. 26.0% want to leave before 3:30 p.m. 21.1% of respondents are signed up for the Guaranteed Ride Home Program, while 78.9% are not. 9.1 % of reverse commute respondents are signed up for GRH. SERVICE QUALITY • Overall, survey respondents gave Metrolink services a grade of B+, with a numerical grade, based on 4.0 for an A and 0 for an F, of 3.4. Metro Transit large bus service received an overall grade of 3.5, while Laidlaw small bus service received an overall grade of 3.2. In 1996 the overall grade for Metro Transit was in the mid A -B range, while National received a grade below B. • Dial -A -Ride respondents graded the service as a 3.2, while in 1996 they gave it a 3.4. • Dial -A -Ride dispatch received much higher marks than it did on the 1996 survey. Most people responded that the phones are answered promptly and that the dispatch phone operator is helpful and courteous. Few people indicated that the phone line was busy when they called. About twice as many people indicated they were placed on hold for over one minute than indicated they were placed on hold for less than a minute. One person responded that they were placed on hold for 20 minutes. • The lowest grades on the scorecard were given for bus cleanliness, bus mechanical condition and schedules on the bus. Both Metro Transit and Laidlaw received lower grades for these items. 3 SERVICE CHANGES i L-� • When passengers on Routes 91 and 93 were asked, "How often would you take a later bus from downtown, say one that left about 7:00 p.m.?" 22.4% of respondents said they would use the later service 1 or more times per week, 43.2% said they would use it 1 or more times per month, and 34.4% said they would probably never use it. • The later bus response was also very positive on Route 92. 40.9% indicated they would use the service 1 or more times per week, 27.3% said they would use the service 1 or more times per month, and 31.8% said they would probably never use it. • There were numerous written comments about the need for later buses in the p.m. as well as buses that ran earlier in the afternoon from downtown. • Several written comments were made requesting Saturday service to and from downtown. • Overcrowding on buses was mentioned by several survey respondents on Dial -A -Ride, Commuter and Reverse Commuter surveys. • Several Route 93 passengers indicated they would like shorter head times in the mornings, with more runs provided. • There were some negative comments about the length of time it takes to travel on the noon and 6:00 p.m. service. 4 MEMO I CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 DATE: July 9, 1998 TO: Plymouth Charter Commission FROM: Kathy Lueckert, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Council action on Supermajority Alternative Letter from Councilmember Preus Last evening the City Council voted (4-2) to place the alternative supermajority language on the ballot in November. Appreciation was expressed for your hard work and perseverance on this topic during the past two years. Attached is a letter from Councilmember Preus to Bob Sipkins, discussing voter turnout and special elections. Mr. Preus' comments express some of the same concerns raised by many of you at the June 16 meeting. Bob Sipkins suggests that this be an item of discussion at the annual meeting of the Charter Commission in December. In the interim, I'll do some research on the topic. There may be several ways to accomplish the goal of getting a good voter turnout on important issues without a charter amendment. Please call (509-5052) if you have questions. Have a great summer!

Sipkins Suite 1050 601 Carlson Parkway Minnetonka, MN 55305-5243 Re: Plymouth Charter Dear Bob: The purpose of this letter is to suggest that the Plymouth Charter Commission consider possible changes to the Plymouth Charter relating to bond referendums submitted to Plymouth voters for approval.. The tumout at the recent vote on the activity center/field house is what has caused me to consider this issue a great deal recently, and has led to this letter. Although 1 did think about this issue generally before the actual vote on May 19, 1998,1 had not considered it a significant enough issue to suggest the Charter Commission consider it. I would like to make it clear from the outset that I have no strong feelings either way on the approval of the activity center/field house. I have never been a strong advocate of this proposal. And I have no strong objections either. In my opinion, there are definitely some strong pros and cons. Instead, my concems are with (1) the date of the vote-, (2) the extremely low voter turnout; and (3) the extremely small margin by which the referendum passed. The first action of the Council as a result of the passage of this referendum was on our agenda for our regular Council meeting of June 24, 1998.The action item we lad was to approve the selection of an architect for the site plan drawings. But during this discussiton it became clear that several of the Council members, myself included, feel quite uncomfortable with the'low voter turnout, the small margin of passage, and the date of the vote. While this particular vote is now history, and this particular project will proceed, 1 believe it would be prudent for the Charter Commission to evaluate at this time whether there are appropriate changes that could be trade to the Charter to address these concerns. ZO 'd 60: Si 86. 9 in[ b8S8-89S-Zi9: xed Z d3H9ti3W Mr. Robert C. Sipkins \� July 6, 1998 �J Page 2 I wish I could provide to you at this time my recommendation. But I have not had an opportunity to consider other options enough to form a definite opinion. I am not even convinced that any changes should be made at all. I simply believe it would be important to review this matter. Some possible suggestions to consider are as follows: (1) A requirement that a bonding referendum be submitted to the voters only at a November general election. (2) A requirement that a minimum percentage of eligible voters actually vote at a bond referendum in order for the referendum to be approved. The minimum amount could be IO percent, 15 percent, 20 percent, etc. I believe the turnout at the May 19 referendum was only;about 6 percent. (3) A requirement that ;there be a "super majority" vote for approval of a bond referendum. This could be 60 percent, 67 percent, etcetera. (4) A variation of no. (3) above would be to require a super majority vote for approval if the referendum is held at any time other than a November election. These are only some suggestions. I am sure that there are others who will have other ideas. I expect that there are also some who:will see no problem and who will believe we should leave it as it is. Council Member Tim Wold is one who has commented that citizens have an obligation to participate in government and to get out and vote, no matter when the election is. If they decide not to vote, they have made their choice to allow others to make the decision. There is certainly merit in this argument. But I also believe it is important to achieve as high a voter turnout as possible in order to obtain the largest citizen participation possible. To reach this end, it is helpful, and perhaps desirable, to make it as easy as possible to obtain this high voter turnout.

Dear Ms. Hurlburt, I understand that the city is in the process of working with the Association Free Lutheran Bible School to define a PUD proposal. As you know, there is strong opposition in the neighborhood to major expansion. As per Mayor Tierney, the density under current zoning would allow between 150-210 persons for this site. Any expansion that increases density above these figures should be done with great care to avoid negative impact on the surrounding neighbors. The neighbors feel that there are several key issues, which must be included in a PUD: 1. Adhere to the 1,000 -foot setback from Medicine Lake as mandated in the shoreland management overlay district and prohibit any further variance to the impervious surface requirements. 2. Space buildings evenly on property beyond the 1,000 -foot shoreline setback. 3. Establish a 50 -foot setback from property lines for all roadways and parking surfaces in order to allow adequate transition and berming. 4. Require a 75 -foot setback for all building structures. 5. New structures should not be greater than 2 stories tall. There must be a design that is compatible with surrounding residential neighborhood. 6. Limit public gatherings on site during the school year. Require a traffic patrol at the bottleneck in the road located on East Medicine Lake Blvd. at 30`' Ave. N. for large events. 7. Permit no increase in use or activities on site during summer over current or past use. 8. Berming to include evergreens greater than 6 feet tall at adequate density to serve as visual shield. 9. No married student housing on site. 10. No removal of mature trees. We would appreciate being informed of the existing mechanism for reporting a violation of the PUD requirements. The definitions regarding use need to be specific and enforceable. We would be happy to discuss these issues further with you or your staff.

Thank you for your consideration and continued efforts, Concerned Neighbors cc: Planning Staff Planning Commission City Council City Manager City Attorney July 8, 1998 Mr. Terence Dougherty 610 Sycamore Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Mr. Dougherty: s C CITY ITY • PLYMOUTR I am responding to your recent voice -mail message regarding the organization of garbage collection in Plymouth. As you know, the City currently licenses private haulers, but does not restrict their routes or days of collection. You have suggested that the neighborhoods would be quieter if the haulers could be restricted to a certain day for collection. This would require the City to pass an ordinance to organize the garbage collection in the City through a bidding process. While we could reduce the number of garbage trucks in any given neighborhood, a significant side effect of this would be that residents would no longer have a choice of haulers, services and prices. The City would have to assign a hauler to a neighborhood based upon the bidding process. Plymouth considered this type of collection system about 8-10 years ago. The council chambers were filled with opposition, with many saying they wanted to retain personal control of hiring (and firing) of their hauler. As a result, the last several councils have not shown any real desire to re -visit the issue. You may wish to put your thoughts in writing and send a letter to City Hall addressed to the Mayor and Council. Copies would then be made and distributed to all council members to determine if there is any interest in pursuing this at this time. I would like to thank you for your comments, and again encourage you to put them in writing for the full Council to consider.

J 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth,MN. 55447 DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS: This letter represents the Sugar Hills Townhome Association's 34 owners position relative to the Sugar Hill's Addition (98018 and 98086). Prior to the Planning Commissions review of these two proposals on June 9,1998 several of the townhome owners submitted letters providing their inputs individually. Since that Planning Commission review our townhome members have met with Mr. Harstad,Councilman Tim Bildsoe and the single family owners in Sugar Hills to discuss the development in general. OnTuesday June 23,1998 our townhome members had a meeting where we discussed this development and we agreed to one submittal for your consideration.(30 of the 34 owners were present at the meeting.) RECOMMENDATION We the Sugar Hills Townhome Asociation Owners thank the mayor and council members for considering our input relative to the Sugar Hills 5th Addition proposals(98018 and 98086).We agree with our Ward 1 Councilman Tim Bildsoe that the corner of 55 and Vicksburg must provide a positive image of our City Center and support the reguiding and rezoning proposals submitted by the City of Plymouth and Mr. Harstad.These changes should provide the flexibility needed by the City to control the development in the 4.2 Acres at the NWcomer of Vicksburg and 55 to meet their City Center goals PLUS provide Mr. Harstad enough flexibility to achieve a reasonable return on the investment for this propefty.We request that as you consider these reguiding and rezoning requests that you place a high priority on maintaining the proper TRANSITION between our townhouse LA -2 Living Area 2(designated as a walking neighborhood) and the REGUIDING of a few lots of this 5th addition.This 5th addition area has been guided as CO,Commercial Ofice for many years and the zoning uses are computable with a smooth transition.If the City approves the proposals requesting reguiding of the lots along 55,we sincerely request that you insure all of the other lots are not allowed to be reguided or rezoned such that a smooth transition area is maintained from 36th Southward towards towards 55. We understand that neither proposal includes a detailed site plan and that the following comments relate to the preliminary plans submitted:however,in your evaluation process of the proposals submitted and for future proposals for the Sugar Hills 5th Addition,such as a detailed site plan, we request you seriously consider the following: 1. Our number I major concern is for the Mayor and Council Members to insure that this development is NEVER allowed to have an access directly or indirectly via the Moen Leuer development(West Glen Corporate Center) at 36th and Zanzibar. As some of you know we have met with Mr.Moen and continue our dialogue to achieve a reasonable transition between our townhomes and that development.Additional traffic at 36th and Zanzibar from a potential high density traffic source such as the Sugar Hills 5th Addition would have a major impact on the safety and security of the townhome owners. 2.Our second major concern is that the developer provide a significant buffer using a combination of berms and trees to shield our townhomes from this development. 3. Our third major concern is to limit the number of accesses to 36th from this development to minimize the traffic on 36th between Vicksburg and Rockford Road.The traffic study indicated a potential for an access to 36th from a Harstad proposed multi story Seniors Home.We discussed this item and hope it does not occur: however, if it is necessary we request, this access NOT be at 36th and Zanzibar. 4.Our 4th concern is a continued expansion of the City Center West of Vicksburg beyond the 4Acres proposed by the City of Plymouth. Please review the last paragraph of the letter I received from Community Development stating the City has no plans to expand beyond the 4 Acres. In summary our major issues revolve around minimizing traffic on 36th to maximize safety and to achieve a smooth transition in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinances. ,1_.5)e, Page 2 June 30,1998 Other issues such as tree buffers,tree removals,size of the buildings,the mortuary,multiple restaurants,etc.were discussed and we are confident you will make the correct decisions to insure the Cities Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinances will be followed to insure the proper transition between our townhouse LA -2 Living Area 2(defined as a walking neighborhood) and the Sugar Hills 5th Addition guided as CO,Commercial Office for many years. We thank each of you for your focus on making Plymouth a great City to live in and we look forward to a decision on this property that meets most of the objectives of all the parties affected. We are providing our concerns in writing and do not plan on making a presentation at the council meeting where these specific proposals will be reviewed to meet your requests to complete actions in a timely manner.We will be in attendance if any of you have questions. If you have any questions please call me at 551-0367 or send a FAX to the same number. Sincerely yours Roger Handberg Representing the Sugar Hills Townhouse Association Owners.

File no. 98018 is a request by the property owner for a preliminary plat and a reguiding and rezoning for three of the proposed new lots. File no. 98086 is a request for reguiding and rezoning the roughly four -acre parcel on the corner of Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55, to incorporate it into City Center. Since both files deal with the same property, I would like to try to respond to your questions in one letter. Many of your questions have been addressed in the staff reports prepared for the June 9, 1998, Planning Commission meeting. Copies of, the, staff reports have been attached for your review. Staff is recommending approval of a preliminary plat to create five lots, based on the finding that it meets ordinance standards. The draft resolution approving the preliminary plat includes several conditions.of approval, including compliance with the tree preservation ordinance, the wetland ordinance and the engineer's memo. The tree preservation ordinance allows removal of up to 75 percent of the caliper inches of significant trees in non-residential zoning districts without requiring reforestation or restitution. The ordinance has wetland buffer requirements based on the wetland classification, but there are no buffer requirements for tree preservation. Staff is recommending denial of the request to reguide three parcels from CO (Commercial Office) to C (Commercial) and rezone them from O -R (Office Residential) to C-3 (Highway Commercial), based on the finding that the requests do not meet ordinance standards. Staff does not know the applicant's motives for requesting a reguiding and rezoning for these parcels. The preliminary site plan shows a bank and office building (which are permitted uses in both the current and proposed zoning districts) and two restaurants (which would require the proposed C-3 zoning). However, the preliminary site plan is not binding, and the uses could be different when site plan approval is requested. If the site plan was in compliance with the zoning ordinance, the City would have limited discretion in approving or denying the application. The applicant has not submitted a site plan application and, therefore, staff cannot respond to questions related to the site plan.

Your letters asked several questions about pedestrian access in this area. The trail on the west side of the Vicksburg Lane right of way has already been constructed. As part of the preliminary plat approval, the applicant will be required to provide a sidewalk along the south side of 36"' Avenue and a sidewalk along 35"' Avenue. The new sidewalks would be constructed on the subject property when other public improvements are made for this project. The sidewalk would later be extended west of the subject property to Rockford Road, on the south side of 36"' Avenue, but it is not part of this project. The streetscape study has raised the importance of safe pedestrian crossings at Vicksburg Lane. Elements that would help create a safe crossing include traffic lights, marked pedestrian crossings (both pavement and signage) and appropriately sized center medians. There are numerous examples in other suburban locations where cities have established safe pedestrian crossings between different elements of a defined commercial area (e.g., 98"' and Lyndale). Although no site plan application has been submitted, the preliminary site plan shows the only access to this site at Vicksburg Lane and 35`h Avenue. The traffic study suggests allowing access to the senior living and nursing home facilities off 36' Avenue, but this alternative can only be examined with a site plan application. The City is aware that a mortuary,vuould like to build at the corner of Vicksturg Lane and Highway 55. � However --other than the preliminary site plan submitted with the preliminary plat for all of the Harstad property --the City has not reviewed any plans for development of this site. The Planning Commission directed staff to consider the reguiding and rezoning --it was not at Mr. Harstad's request. Finally, reguiding and rezoning of the four -acre site following submission of a development application, but prior to start of construction, is within the City's rights. As discussed in the staff report, the City has no plans to request additional extensions of the City Center west of Vicksburg, south of 36`h Avenue, north of Highway 55 and east of Moen Leuer. The four -acre site is isolated from the rest of the area to the north and west by wetlands; therefore, it represents a logical transition point.

PETER, CPA (1929-1992) RE: Sugar Hills 5`h Addition, Northwest Corner of Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55, South of 36`h Avenue Dear Mayor and Council Members: At the request of my client, Washburn McReavy Funeral Chapels, I am writing to offer some background on the proposed development at the Northwest Corner of Highway 55 and Vicksburg Lane. This property as you know is being developed by Harstad Hills, Inc. Washburn McReavy entered into a purchase agreement with Harstad on March 15, 1996 for approximately 4 acres immediately at the corner of Highway 55 and Vicksburg where they intend to build a funeral home. Washburn McReavy has been working with Harstad since March of 1996 to submit the necessary applications to the City for approval. In this process Marty Harstad, Rick Sathre, the engineer for Harstad, and I have met with various City staff including Dwight Johnson, Anne Hurlburt, and Barbara Senness. We have discussed throughout the process all of the plans and proposed uses for this process. In the course of these discussions City staff acknowledged that the zoning was appropriate for the proposed funeral home and the proposed senior housing. We also discussed the proposed guide plan amendment from CO to C and rezoning from O -R to C-3 of a portion of the property fronting on Highway 55 and to the West of the Washburn McReavy Site which Harstad intended to develop himself. During these discussions staff also informed us that at one 7500 Olson Memorial Highway • Suite 200 • Minneapolis, MN 55427 Telephone 612/546-6211 • Fax 612/546-2048 • Web Site www.bpkz.com • E -Mail cpa@bpkz.com Member of SEC and Private Companies Practice Sections of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Mayor and City Council City of Plymouth July 1, 1998 Page 2 s s point the City had considered reguiding and rezoning at least a portion of this property to include it in the City Center guiding. We were informed that they had decided this was not appropriate due to the high traffic on Vicksburg and Vicksburg made a natural boundary for City Center. These considerations were confirmed by one of the present council members. Approximately 2 weeks before the Planning Commission meeting on June 9, 1998 when these applications were to be considered, we learned that City staff was recommending a change in the guiding and zoning for the Washburn McReavy property to include it in the City Center — Retail Entertainment category. Please keep in mind that our use was consistent with the current zoning. This action seemed inappropriate to take at the last minute, when the petitioners had expended substantial amounts of money on the process, and City staff had known our intentions for this property since March 22, 1996 when I met with Anne Hurlburt and Barbara Senness. If the City had chosen to take this action early on in the process, while we would not have liked this action, it would certainly have been less onerous since we would not have expended substantial time and effort. Fortunately, on June 9, the planning commission voted against the reguiding and rezoning which left the zoning in place which allows our use. They made note of several factors when denying the reguiding. The most important was that Vicksburg Lane is a boundary, which inhibits the pedestrian friendly atmosphere of City Center. Providing uses on the West Side of Vicksburg which are separate from City Center may be better from a traffic standpoint. We are asking that you follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission and continue the guiding and zoning as it presently exists for the Washburn McReavy site. As noted above, also included in the application was a reguiding and rezoning for the property fronting on Highway 55 and West of the Washburn McReavy site to C-3 (Highway Commercial). The Planning Commission denied this. We ask that you approve the reguiding and rezoning for this portion of the project because it will provide services that will add value to the area. The City staff commented that this commercial use would allow restaurants and other businesses such as a bank, that would be disruptive to the senior housing development on the Northern portion of the property. Quite the opposite. These commercial uses would provide services, which the residents could walk to. They would not be inconsistent with the other uses in the area. Washburn McReavy would like to invite all the Council Members and staff to visit their Eden Prairie funeral chapel for a tour. This chapel is not open for use yet, but is very near completion. This chapel is identical to the building proposed for Plymouth. The exception is the landscaping. The Plymouth Chapel will include a pond at the corner of Mayor and City Council City of Plymouth S July 1, 1998 Page 3 Highway 55 and Vicksburg, in front of the building. There will be a fountain in the pond. We believe this will provide a very classy addition to this important corner in Plymouth. Washburn McReavy believes that they should be a part of the community and support the community they are located within. To that end they are committed to working with the city now and in the future. If you would like a tour of the Eden Prairie Location, please call me at 546-6211 or Bill McReavy Sr. or Bill McReavy Jr. at 377-2203. We would also be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Johnson, City Manager SUBJECT: Summary of Events Don Myron Case -Supreme Court action. The Minnesota Supreme Court has acted on this case and voted 3-3 on our appeal. Mr. Myron had sought permission to build on a substandard lot of record in a neighborhood near Birchview School. This means that our appeal is not sustained and the ruling of the Court of Appeals stands. The Court of Appeals basically stated that the permit for Don Myron could not be denied by the City simply because the variance hardship was self-imposed. At this point, the case is remanded back to the City Council to consider the case pro or con on its planning merits. The City has the option to ask for re -hearing within 10 days, which might allow a fully constituted court to rule. Since our defense has been through the League Insurance Trust, they will be consulted about our next moves in the next week and staff will also be reviewing where the case is now, including its relationship to our new zoning ordinance. Vacation. I will be out of the office Thursday afternoon and Friday next week accompanying my wife at a professional conference in Chicago. Kathy will be here during the time I am gone.

MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 DATE: July 7, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager SUBJECT: City phone system -caller ID blocking Over the last several years, both citizens and council members (most recently Saundra Spigner) have inquired about the blocking of caller ID systems by the City's phone system. Staff has researched this issue further in the last couple of months, and a report from Stan Birnbaum is attached. It shows that the phone company lacks the needed equipment in our area to allow unblocked caller ID for our current system, which is the same system used by most businesses. The phone company will need to upgrade its equipment before this can be reasonably accomplished without significant extra cost. They have no current plans to do so. The only alternative would be for the City to pay for changes in equipment which would cost thousands more per year and degrade our service. Hopefully, the attached report will help you answer any questions you get from citizens about this. Please contact me or Stan Birnbaum with any questions you may have. N:Wdministration Department\Staff\DWIGHnMEMO\callerlD.doc DATE: July 7, 1998 TO: Dwight Johnson FROM: Stan Birnbaum SUBJECT: Caller ID Earlier this year, when you asked me to review Plymouth's decision to block caller ID, I responded primarily from the vantage point of Public Safety's concern about compro- mising investigative, undercover and other sensitive police work. For your convenience, I am attaching a copy of that memo. Based on continued questions about this practice, I spent extensive time reviewing op- tions with both our phone switch provider (Fujitsu) and our U.S. West agent (Progres- sive). On further study, it appears that Plymouth does not have a viable alternative— based on the U.S. West services we are purchasing, no decision we make would make it possible for customers who purchase caller ID to have the call identified. Some background on how we purchase our phone lines is necessary to help explain this situation. As of today, the City has 27 phone lines for both incoming and outgoing calls. Based on our most recent traffic study, we probably need to expand this by 2 to 3 lines in the near future. Most organizations purchasing more than about a dozen or so lines purchase T-1 service, which makes the highest class of digital phone service available at about a 30% lower cost than purchasing analog lines individually (analog lines are the same type of service provided routinely to residential accounts). In addition to the cost savings, the digital signals used in T-1 lines provide faster connections and disconnections, along with improved signals. T-1 service also makes it possible to add lines more economically. In summary, purchasing T-1 services results in significantly lower costs as well as higher quality. The City's T-1 lines are serviced by U.S. Wests' Fernbrook central office. This central office has older equipment which is not currently scheduled for updating. The T-1 lines deployed at Fernbrook do not include the "intelligence" to provide meaningful informa- tion back to services like caller ID. As a result, subscribers of U.S. West's caller ID service will get a message of "unavailable" for any call from any customer with T-1 lines serviced by the Fernbrook office (including the City of Plymouth). In practice, it turns out that at this time, Plymouth's decision to block caller ID is irrelevant. Whether or not we choose to block calls, subscribers to caller ID will see all Plymouth calls listed as "unavailable." U.S. West has long-term plans to upgrade all of its central offices to its latest SS7 tech- nology, which would give T-1 ines the capability to return meaningful information to caller ID subscribers. Because no date has been announced for upgrading the Fernbrook Office, I think it is safe to say that this change will not occur before the year 2000. There is one option that would make it possible for persons subscribing to caller ID to receive meaningful notification. We would have to pursue the following steps: 1. Create separate U.S. West accounts for City Center and Public Safety 2. Change our existing service to City Center (as well as Public Works and the Ice Arena) from T-1 service to a pool of analog lines (with caller ID un- blocked for this pool of lines) 3. Reconfigure the phone switch to meet this redesign. Preliminary estimates suggest that the one-time costs for making this change would be in the range of $5,000. However, our monthly costs for core phone service would increase from about $1,500 per month to approximately $2,200 per month. In addition to paying more per line, we would also have to purchase a larger quantity of lines since we would lose the economies of scale that come from aggregating services for all buildings. We would also find that managing capacity in the long-term will require purchasing more lines at a faster rate. At the same time, quality of service to citizens, as measured by con- nection times and quality of voice signals would degrade slightly. Please let me know if I can provide any further background on this issue. M tq DATE: Jan. 15, 1998 TO: Dwight Johnson FROM: Stan Birnbaum SUBJECT: Plymouth decision to block caller ID I am writing to provide some background for you on why the City has elected to block caller ID (in response to Marilyn Buman's letter to the attorney general and note to the mayor). When caller ID was first introduced by U S West about four years ago, the City deter- mined that it needed to block caller ID because of significant concerns out of our police department. The decision to permit or block caller ID can only be made at an account level (in other words, for the entire City). If caller ID were permitted, U S West custom- ers with caller ID would see "City of Plymouth 509-5000" for all calls originated by city staff. With caller ID blocked, U S West customers with caller ID would see an "unknown number" message. The police department's original concerns focused on protecting the confidentiality of po- lice and investigative work, as well as protecting the security of undercover operations. It was the department's evaluation that identifying these calls—which probably represent a majority of calls made by the department—either by the City's name or phone number would jeopardize either confidentiality or security. The police department reviewed this original evaluation in the course of their weekly staff meeting of Jan. 14, 1998. They continue to believe that it is essential for the city to block caller ID to protect the substantial amount of confidential telephone work they perform. Blocking caller ID is a widely practiced by municipalities housing police departments. Undoubtedly, some persons who use caller ID may find this annoying. However, the City's decision has been guided solely by concern for public safety. Please let me know if I can provide any further background for you on this issue. MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 DATE: July 10, 1998 TO: Mayor Tierney, City Council and Dwight Johnson - City Manager ohn FROM: Mike K, Financial Analyst through Dale Hahn, Finance Director SUBJECT: Implementation of sump pump surcharge for four City residents Karyl Walcher (13005 37' Avenue North) and Peter Tysdal (3005 & 3015 Medicine Lake Blvd) have not yet had their properties inspected as called for in Section 740 of the City Code. Brian Victor Brand (3460 Pilgram Lane North) and Craig Schorr (12805 27' Avenue North) both failed their initial sump pump inspection and have not yet modified their sump pump systems to meet City Code. All of these parties have had contact with the Howard R. Green Consulting Engineers and the City of Plymouth for at least 1 year. At a minimum, each of these parties has been sent one letter by Howard R. Green Consulting Engineers and three letters by the City of Plymouth. All parties did sign for a certified letter sent April 24, 1998. However, I have not heard from anyone since that letter was received. One last letter was sent on 7/10/98 to the four effected parties. This letter gives them until August 28, 1998 to contact the City to take care of their situations. Unless instructed otherwise, it is my intent that each resident's September bi-monthly utility bill will reflect a $200 surcharge if no response is received by August 28th. Hopefully, these residents will, as a consequence of the surcharge, contact the City so that the surcharge does not have to be continued into the future.

If you do not wish to have a City employee perform the inspection you may have a licensed plumber certify that your sump pump system is in conformance with City Code. If I have not heard from you by April 17, 1998, I will, unfortunately, be required to initiate the process that could result in a $100 surcharge on your utility bill each month. I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. If our records are in error, and you have passed inspection, I apologize for the mistake. Please call as soon as possible, and I'll be happy to correct the record. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thus far 17,780 properties have been inspected and 1,797 violations have been corrected. As a result of these inspections, and corrective actions taken, it is estimated that the City will pay about $100,000 less per year for sewage treatment than it would have if the Inspection Program were not conducted. At this point only 11 properties which failed their initial inspection are not yet in compliance. Our records indicate that your sump pump system is one of the 11 that does not yet meet City Code. A copy of this section, which prohibits discharge of storm water into the sanitary sewer system, and requires that all sump pump systems have rigid discharge lines (PVC -type is most common), is enclosed. If you need further information on how to bring your system into compliance, please call me at 509-5327, and I will be happy to help. If your system has been brought into compliance already, I can schedule an appointment to certify that the work has been done correctly. Please call me by March 13, 1998 to set up such an appointment for certification. If you do not wish to have a City employee perform the inspection you may have a licensed plumber certify that your sump pump system is in conformance with City Code. If our records are in error, and you have passed inspection, we apologize for the mistake. Please call as soon as possible, and we'll_ be happy to correct the record.
