Adopted Minutes Page 1 of 7 Regular Meeting of May 8, 2018
• The required elements for sign -in are email, first and last name, gender, and year of birth.
• Year of birth is required as it provides demographics to sort and verify against known
demographic information and allows staff to parse the results into specific age groups.
• Users do not have to be a Plymouth resident; staff will be able to sort the data by resident
versus non-resident.
The Council expressed enthusiasm for this tool but recommended the following:
• Research if only Plymouth residents can participate, as results could be skewed by input
from non-residents.
• Confirm that Facebook and Google wouldn't be pulling information from this platform.
• Determine if a zip code could be tied to the user to make the data more meaningful.

Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 7 Regular Meeting of May 8, 2018
General Business
(8.01) Rezoning, Preliminary Plat, and Subdivision Code Variance for "The
Woods at Taylor Creek" for Property located at 5364 and 5370 Vicksburg Lane
and Outlot B of Hampton Hills South Plateau (David Hackenmueller and Tim
Hidani — 2017110) (Tabled from April 24, 2018)
Senior Planner Drill reported that this item is continued from the April 24, 2018 meeting and is
before the Council tonight regarding three final items: looping of the water main, secondary
access, and home sprinkler systems. He stated that home sprinkler systems have not been
required before, but staff has included a condition in the resolution that requires the developer
and any builders within the subdivision to provide information on home sprinkler systems and
offer them as an option to buyers. He reported that staff is recommending approval of the waiver
for secondary access as Public Safety has determined that it is not feasible. He stated that staff
has determined that a connection must be made to the existing water main, located roughly 1,000
feet to the east and that the cost for the looping of the water main should be borne by the
developer. He explained the Council could find the water main looping has benefits beyond this
development and could water area assessment charges that have been collected previously from
this general area.
In response to questions from the Council, Senior Planner Drill and Public Works Director
Thompson provided the following information:
• Looping of the water main increases availability for redundant fire flows and lessens the
risk of losing water service in an outage. As an example, the Hampton Hills area would
lose complete service if the two connections in (54th and 52nd) lost service. Therefore,
this neighborhood would benefit from this loop by providing this neighborhood with
another source of water.
• Hampton Hills does have redundancy in the two connections currently located there.
• General area of benefit that these properties would receive based on this loop.
Constructing this loop increases firefighting flows 300 to 700 gallons per minute in the
immediate area.
The Council discussed concerns forcing the developer in the area to be burdened by additional
expenses for looping of the water main when the benefit would accrue to more than the homes in
this development.
Motion was made by Mayor Slavik, and seconded by Councilmember Davis, to adopt an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to Classify Certain Land located at 5364 and
5370 Vicksburg Lane (2017 110 — Ord2018-12), Resolution Approving Findings of Fact for the
Rezoning of Land located at 5364 and 5370 Vicksburg Lane (2017 110 — Res2018-190),
Resolution Approving Preliminary Plat for David Hackenmueller and Tim Hadani for "The
Woods at Taylor Creek" for Property located at 5364 and 5370 Vicksburg Lane, and Outlot B of
Hampton Hills South Plateau (2017-110 — Res2018-191), and a Resolution Approving Summary
Publication of Ordinance No. 2018-12, Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to
Classify Certain Land located at 5364 and 5370 Vicksburg Lane (2017 110 — Res2018-192).
Adopted Minutes Page 5 of 7 Regular Meeting of May 8, 2018
By request of the Council, Jake Walesch, developer of an adjacent neighborhood to these
properties who is assisting the applicants, responded to the question of requiring homes be
sprinkled. He stated generally, the public doesn't choose to install sprinklers in their homes so it
would be difficult because anything required in a development is an expense to the end-user, and
usually, the end user isn't willing to pay for the full cost of the system.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to
amend the main motion for a 50% cost sharing for the looping of the water main with funds to
come from the area wide charge.
Mike Van Klei, 14760 51 st Avenue North, shared concerns that when marketed and sold to the
Hampton Hills neighborhood, this property under discussion was explained to be an outlot that
would be maintained as part of the community. He stated the original filed plat showed this
property as an outlot, and that it was zoned for future restricted development. He stated that
secondary access provision is part of the deal in development and he would be concerned with
the precedent set by waiving its requirement. He also commented that in his experience,
homeowners have tended not to install sprinkler systems for their homes. He stated he's not in
support of this development.
The Council stated there are other developments located in the City without a secondary access,
so this development wouldn't be setting a precedent. In addition, properties that are zoned future
restricted development doesn't imply that they'll never be developed.
With all members voting against the motion but Councilmember Johnson, the amendment to the
main motion failed.
The Council voted on the main motion and with all members voting in favor but
Councilmembers Willis and Prom, the motion carried.
As a procedural point of order, Mayor Slavik noted Resolution No. 2018-192 is for summary
publication, which requires 6/7 vote. She asked Councilmembers Willis and Prom, who had
voted against the main motion, whether they would support summary publication.
Councilmembers Willis and Prom answered in the affirmative.
