Drop-Off Day is promoted in a number of ways including Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor where we received nearly 34,500 impressions. The 2019 Drop-Off Day was held on Saturday, May 4 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The site layout was the same as 2018. However, to improve safety, 23rd Avenue was converted into a temporary one-way street to allow for additional vehicle stacking. It is estimated that 932 vehicles attended the event which similar to 2018, however based on feedback, wait times increased by about one hour. Material collection during the 2019 event increased significantly for appliances (26.4%), municipal solid waste/construction & demolition (54.4%) and metal (69.7%). Staff believes this increase in material collection is directly related to the increased wait times residents experienced during the event because the time it takes to physically unload vehicles and also stoppage required when additional large roll-off units need to be removed and replaced. To partially offset the operating cost of this event, a fee of $20 for cars and trucks with trailers and $100 fee for box trucks was collected for vehicles that were dropping off electronics, mattresses, metal, municipal solid waste, construction and demolition items, and tires. This pricing structure changed from 2018 through a higher charge of $100 for box trucks. There continued to be no charge to drop off paper, bicycles, batteries, bulbs, or textiles. Staff annually reviews the event and considers stakeholder feedback when considering how to improve future events. Feedback received during and after the event was positive, however, staff did receive several comments requesting improved access and reduced wait times especially for the free item disposal. Based on Council feedback at the Special Council meeting on Tuesday June 11th, staff will work up two additional options for consideration including: 1) Adding part of Friday the day before the event to collect free items. This could help alleviate the wait times and queues on Saturday, then Saturday would continue in its current capacity which includes both pay and free items. 2) Additionally staff will explore conducting both a spring and fall Saturday event in its current capacity.

For the last two years, the city has gathered public input about the project and, in April, the city moved forward by engaging architectural firm HGA to develop design options. During this phase, the city will collect input from residents to help fine tune the type of activity spaces included in the plans. At the July 9 open house, residents will see draft schematic plans featuring a renovation and expansion design option for the PCC. The preliminary project cost estimate is roughly $50 million, based on the schematic plans. For example, owners of $300,000-$500,000 homes would see an average tax impact of about $78-$135 per year. Open house attendees will be invited to provide feedback on the types of space, uses, layout and design of an initial draft. Based on community feedback, the project may include gym space, a walking track, an indoor playground, a wellness space, senior spaces, classrooms, meeting spaces and an arts studio. An extra edition of Plymouth News will be mailed to households with more information and details prior to the July 9 open house. FlashVote Survey set for July 9 In addition to the open house, the city will use an online survey tool – FlashVote – to gather project feedback. A link to a simple, one-minute survey will be sent to registered FlashVote users Tuesday, July 9 – and participants will have 48 hours to complete the survey. - more - Page 12 FlashVote participants can choose to receive surveys via email, text message, phone call or through internet browser. To learn more and to register, visit plymouthmn.gov/FlashVote. Serving a Growing Population The Plymouth Creek Center serves as an important hub for arts, senior and recreation programming, as well as community and regional events. After nearly two decades of use, the center needs maintenance and updates. A 2016 feasibility study confirmed a shrinking ability to serve the community. Since the building opened, Plymouth’s population has increased by more than 13,000 people. That growth has spiked Plymouth Creek Center usage and continues to drive demand for programming. Next Steps As the project continues to develop, residents will have additional opportunities to weigh in.

Ryan Cos. US Inc. By Nick Halter – Senior Reporter/Broadcaster, Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal a day ago Ryan Cos. US Inc.plans to demolish a U.S. Bank corporate building in Edina and replace it with 200 apartments, a new bank branch and retail space. The Minneapolis developer has submitted plans to the city of Edina for the project, which is on 5.7 acres at 7001 France Ave., which is just south of the Galleria. U.S. Bank owns a two-story office building on the site that dates back to 1975 and currently houses corporate bank employees as well as the interiors and architecture firm bdh + young and medical-office users. In an email, bdh + young Managing Partner Kim Dennis said the company is moving into Wellington Management's new Leef building at 201 Irving Ave. N. in Minneapolis, which is a few blocks west of International Market Square. Ryan released some of the project details to the Business Journal. It would include 120 units of market rate housing and 80 units of affordable housing. The apartments would be housed in six stories. Page 17 The project would also include a 7,000-square-foot multi-tenant retail building, a 4,000-square-foot standalone retail building as well as a 5,500-square-foot “flagship” U.S. Bank branch. Public enhancements include new sidewalks, interior streets, outdoor seating and green space. It would also break up a superblock that makes it difficult to access to the Edina Promenade, a greenway, and Hazelton Road. “With the proximity to the Promenade, Galleria, Target, and other amenities we believe this will make for a great mixed-use setting that breaks down this 1970’s era ‘superblock,’ " Mike Ryan, president Ryan Cos. north region, said in a statement. “We are focused on creating new connections and public realm, quality market rate and affordable residential uses in high demand, as well as new retail uses lining France Avenue, after the new branch is completed.” U.S. Bank will relocate the employees in the building, though plans have not been announced. “Our current site at 70th and France presents a unique opportunity to reinvest in the community, our customers and employees through redevelopment of our existing branch and corporate space,” U.S. Bank said in a statement. The plans are scheduled to go to sketch plan review at the Edina Planning Commission this week. Page 18
