Plymouth Forum
Joe Egan, 5435 Ximines Lane, stated he previously addressed the Council regarding concerns
with geese in his neighborhood. It was suggested he speak with his neighbor about feeding
them. He did so and was accused of invading his privacy. He expressed concern with the public
health concerns regarding the ongoing problem of geese overpopulating his neighborhood. The
action of feeding geese is a public nuisance and should be addressed in the City Code.
The Council requested staff look at the public nuisance ordinance and if this issue has been
addressed by surrounding communities. The Council also referred this item to the
Environmental Quality Committee for their review.

General Business
(8.01) Contract for School Resource Officer Services with Wayzata School District No. 284
Public Safety Director Goldstein reported these services have been provided to the Wayzata
School District since 1993 and the Wayzata School District is requesting this become a formal
contract. There are currently two officers at the high school and one officer for both middles
schools. Due to concerns related to school safety, they are also requesting an additional officer
be hired so there can be a full-time officer at each middle school. The City will be required to
provide 25 percent of the officer's wages and benefits.
Adopted Minutes Page 3 of 6 Regular Meeting of March 13, 2018
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt
Resolution Authorizing a contract agreement for School Resource Officer Service with School
District No. 284 (Res2018-113).
In response to questions from the Council, Public Safety Director Goldstein provided the
following information:
• The same action will be taken with Wayzata Police and Wayzata West Middle School.
• Throughout Hennepin County, all law enforcement, fire, and EMS operate from one
platform as it relates to any mass casualty event.
• There are two officers at Armstrong High School and one officer at Plymouth Middle
School.
• When officers are finished with their school duties in the summer, they return back to
their patrol duties until the school year starts again.
• This is a partnership with the school district, and it needs to be directed by them. There
are school safety levies that school districts can use to fund these types of initiatives.
With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
(6.09) Final Plat, Development Contract, and Assessments for Phase I of "Greenway
West" (Pulte Homes of Minnesota — 2017083F)
The Council suspended the rules and took testimony regarding item No. 6.09.
Kyle Foster, 18225 58th Avenue, expressed three concerns related to this item: 1) There is plenty
of unsold housing inventory in the area; 2) Meadow Ridge School is already at capacity and still
under construction to meet current demand; and, 3) The Troy Lane reconstruction project is
slated for 2018 and is the only access to Greenway West. These new homes will begin to go up
at the same time. He requested the Council consider the following: 1) Include features such as
upgraded siding, concrete driveways, and decks; 2) This is the City's one chance to make an
impact on the kind of quality that will be here long term; and, 3) Consistency in development
with neighboring properties that include the highest and best use of the land.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Wosje, to
reconsider item No. 6.09 Final Plat, Development Contract, and Assessments for Phase I of
"Greenway West" (Pulte Homes of Minnesota — 2017083F). With all members voting in favor,
the motion carried.
The Council explained they can't deny development because there are unsold properties in the
area. The Wayzata School District plans for the growth and has plans to build another school.
City Attorney Knutson stated the request for this item pertains to the final plat, development
contract, and assessments. The Planning Commission and staff have found that the applicant
meets the standards of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the Council doesn't have much
discretion. The Council has already approved the preliminary plat and must determine if the
applicant has met the requirements for final plat approval.

Motion was made by Councilmember Wosje, seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt a
Resolution Approving Final Plat and Development Contract for "Greenway West" for Property
located West of Troy Lane at 58t Avenue (2017083-F — Res2018-104) and a Resolution

(8.02) Ordering and Accepting Preliminary Engineering Report and Plans and
Specifications, Ordering Advertisement for Bids, Declaring Costs to be Assessed and
Calling for Public Improvement and Assessment Hearings for the Kilmer Park Street
Reconstruction Project (ST189001.001) (Previously item No. 6.16)
Design Supervisor Payne reported this project includes the streets in and around Kilmer Park.
Most of these streets are rural, without curb and gutter, and in poor condition. The area is
drained by ditches with metal culverts, which are also in poor condition. Total reconstruction is
recommended along with a storm sewer system.
In response to questions from the Council, Design Supervisor Payne provided the following
information:
Pilgrim Lane has curb and gutter on the west side for the northern half. He provided a
photo that illustrated this and noted there may be curb and gutter around the radius.
The existing curb will be removed and replaced.
Mn/DOT installed a line to help control flow from Highway 169. It runs down 24th
Avenue and 25th Avenue and into water quality ponds by Medicine Lake, and then out
into Medicine Lake. This will drain into that water quality pond. The rest of the water
eventually flows between two homes on 27th Avenue, down to a storm sewer of 26th
Avenue and out to Medicine Lake. It does not hit the water quality ponds before going
into Medicine Lake.
They had two soil borings on Pilgrim Lane. One indicated six inches of asphalt over four
inches of aggregate base over clay and the other showed six inches of asphalt on top of
clay.
The ditch will be armored in the small section where the creek flows between the two
homes. This will be accomplished by filling it with riprap, cable concrete, or some other
material and will stabilize the creek adjacent to the two homes.
There are numerous ways to pay for the proposed assessment. It can be paid for in full by
the end of October 2018 with no interest, by the end of October 2019 with one year's
interest, or with a resident's property taxes over a 10 -year period. There is also a senior
citizen deferral option.
The Council stated it understands the concerns related to assessment costs, but this is one of the
worst roads in Plymouth and it is hard to justify patching it. There is flooding in the area and the
culvert needs to be repaired. Even though they can't capture all the water, there will be some
improvement by having some of it drain through the water quality pond into Medicine Lake.
This proposed reconstruction has probably never been done properly in this area and it is needed
to maintain infrastructure. In time, residents will notice an increase in their property values. It

was noted that a flyer was distributed by someone in the neighborhood that contained things that
were not true. Staff responded by providing a question and answer document to residents that
contained the actual facts. Public Works Director Thompson added all the documents have been
updated and are available on the City's website.
Motion was made by Councilmember Prom, and seconded by Councilmember Davis, to adopt
Resolution Ordering Preliminary Engineering Report for the Kilmer Park Street Reconstruction
Project (ST189001.001 — Res2018-114), Resolution Receiving Preliminary Engineering eering Report
