WR18009 Dear Resident: The City of Plymouth is studying options to improve drainage in the rear yards of the Meadow Wood subdivision and reduce pollution flowing into Gleason Lake. The goals of the study include designing improvements that improve flow, minimize erosion downstream and improve water quality in Gleason Lake by reducing pollutants like suspended solids and phosphorus. A neighborhood open house is scheduled for March 18, 2020 from 4:30pm - 6:15pm in the Council Chambers at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd., Plymouth, MN, 55447. Project concepts will be available for review and the design team will be available to answer questions and take comments.

The launch was originally installed to provide a seasonal deep water access to Medicine Lake however improvements to the Three Rivers Park District launch in 2014 made the City launch unnecessary. Traditionally the launch has been operated as a limited access launch that was open for three weekends in May and September for a total of 14 days per year. In 2018 & 2019 the City closed the launch during the open water season to prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species in the lake. The Plymouth Environmental Quality Committee will be discussing the permeant closure of the boat launch during the open water season at their March 11, 2020 meeting at 7:00pm. The meeting will be held in the Medicine Lake Room at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd., Plymouth, MN, 55447. If you cannot make this meeting but would like to provide input please feel free to contact me directly at 763-509-5527 or via email at bscharenbroich@plymouthmn.gov Sincerely, Ben Scharenbroich Interim Water Resources Manager Cc: CIM Chris LaBounty, City Engineer Barb Northway, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 CBRE report: AirBNB, VRBO rentals will impact hotel markets in 2020 February 14, 2020 | Dan Rafter Hotel owners have reason to worry about the continued growth of services such as AirBNB and VRBO. Short-term vacation rentals will remain popular in 2020, with the trend further expanding in suburban, rural and resort markets, according to a new report from CBRE. And that could mean more competition for hotel operators this year. CBRE predicts that the short-term rental industry will expand to about 650,000 actively rented units in the United States this year. That is equal to 12.2 percent of the U.S. hotel room supply, according to CBRE. Short-term rentals typically are houses, condominium units and unoccupied apartments that are rented out for short vacation stays on platforms such as AirBNB or VRBO. These short- term rentals are direct competitors to hotels, and can have a significant impact on the strength of the hospitality market. As CBRE says, when there is a high penetration of short-term rentals in a market, it limits the ability of hotels in that same market to raise their rates. That’s because more short-term rentals hit the market during periods of high demand and low vacancies, the same periods in which hotels usually boost their rates. This, of course, directly impacts a hotel’s profits. And, as CBRE says, a high concentration of short-term rentals can dissuade developers from building hotels in certain markets. Page 14 CBRE officials say that the growth of short-term rentals, then, is something that hotel operators need to watch closely. “The industry used to essentially ignore the impact of short-term rentals when assessing a hotel’s value, but not anymore,” said Tommy Crozier, the executive vice president leading CBRE’s National Hotel Advisory Practice. “It’s clear that these rentals can have a direct and meaningful impact on hotel performance and asset values. The impact might be more pronounced in some submarkets than in others, contingent on conditions, but it is a legitimate impact nonetheless.” According to CBRE, a market reaches its saturation point when its short-term rental supply equals 10 percent to 20 percent of its supply of hotel rooms. Of the 30 largest hotel markets in the United States, 14 have short-term rental ratios of 10 percent or more, CBRE said. In the Midwest, Minneapolis is a good example of how popular short-term rentals have become. CBRE said that through 2019, Minneapolis saw its supply of short-term rentals grow to 2,320 out of 44,432 hotel-room units. That brings its short-term rental ratio to 5.2 percent, an increase of just less than 0.5 percent when compared to a year earlier. Minneapolis’ short-term rental ratio is the 24th highest in the country, CBRE reported. “While Minneapolis’ true short-term rental ranking is low compared to other larger cities, it did see positive growth with a small uptick in its supply unlike many of the markets currently ranked ahead,” said Mark VanStekelenburg, managing director of CBRE Hotels. “Its short- term rental penetration is quite low at 5.2 percent, offering substantial opportunity to expand its short-term rental market in the future.” Page 15
