BACKGROUND
The petitioner is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of C.C.I. Addition, pursuant to Chapter
13 of the New Hope Code.
In June of 1994, a company known as Conductive Containers, Incorporated contacted the City
and indicated that they were negotiating to purchase the vacant industrial building located at 4500
Quebec Avenue North. CCI currently has a facility in Illinois and 15,000 square feet in
Brooklyn Park and the Quebec Avenue building would accommodate the expansion of their
manufacturing and office space. CCI was prepared to purchase the building and do significant
interior/exterior remodeling. However, a problem existed because the existing site could not
accommodate the maneuvering of full-sized semi-tracks with access to the loading docks without
utilizing a portion of the vacant lot to the south at 4400 Quebec. Although a number of parking
lot redesign ideas were submitted to the City, none were deemed acceptable. The property at
4400 Quebec Avenue was for sale, but CCI indicated they could not afford to purchase the entire
parcel to accommodate their trucking needs. CCI came to the conclusion that unless they could
meet the City Code requirements in all respects, including truck access, it made no sense for
them to purchase the 4500 Quebec Avenue building.
The vacant property in question at 4400 Quebec Avenue is identified in the City's preliminary
Surface Water Management Plan as a possible future ponding site. The City Engineer met with
staff and developed a sketch whereby a future pond could be developed on the southern portion
of the property to accommodate the City's storm water needs and the northern portion of the
property could be split/combined with the property to the north to address the trucking issues.
Staff discussed this with the Council at the August 22nd Council meeting to determine if there
was any interest in pursuing the purchase of the vacant property at 4400 Quebec, with the intent
of purchasing property jointly with CCI to resolve both trucking and storm water ponding issues.
The Council directed staff to prepare a proposal for consideration at a future meeting.
Staff met with all parties involved in September and proceeded to have soil borings taken and
a wetland delineation prepared. After this information was completed, BCL Appraisals
completed an appraisal of the property. At the October 24th EDA meeting, staff further
discussed with the EDA if they were interested in pursuing the acquisition of this property jointly
Planning Case Report 95-05
2 April 28, 1995
with CCI, with both parties splitting the cost of the acquisition. The City would retain a large
easement for a future regional storm water pond and deed the property over to CCI so that the
parcel would not be tax exempt. The EDA approved a motion authorizing staff to proceed with
the purchase of the property.
o
The City acquired 4400 Quebec Avenue in February and CCI has agreed to purchase 4400
Quebec from the City, subject to an exclusive and permanent ponding easement as proposed by
the City Engineer to implement the City's Surface Water Management Plan. CCI further agreed
to replat both 4500 and 4400 Quebec to combine them into a single parcel and dedicate the
ponding easement on said plat. The City Council determined that it is in the best interests of the
City to sell said property to CCI subject to conditions because the City's Surface Water
Management Plan will be promoted at a lower cost to the City and a viable business will be able
to relocate within the City on property conforming to all zoning code requirements.
6. City staff agreed to coordinate the platting of the property for CCI, with CCI being responsible
for all surveying and platting costs.
The property is zoned 1-2, General Industrial, and the purpose of the plat is to combine 4400 and
4500 Quebec Avenue North into one parcel to accommodate maneuvering of full-sized semi-
trucks to the loading docks and also to allow the City to use the southern portion of the property
for a ponding easement.
8. As per routine policy, the preliminary plat was submitted to City Department Heads, City
Attorney, City Engineer, utility companies and Hennepin County for review and comment.
o
The City Code states that copies of the final plat shall be submitted to the Planning Commission
for their review and recommendation, unless this requirement is waived by the Planning
Commission during their review of the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission will need
to make a determination as to whether it wants to review the final plat or not.
10. Property owners within 350' of the request have been notified and staff have received no
comments on the plat.
ANALYSIS
The total area of the proposed plat is 202,390 square feet or 4.64 acres. The plat has a width
of 300 feet on the north and 321.37 feet on the south. The plat has a length of 449.17 feet on
the west (Quebec Avenue North) and 447.93 feet on the east (abutting the Soo Line Railroad).
The plat combines the two existing parcels into one lot. The lot area and lot width requirements
for the 1-2 Zoning District are compared to the plat below:
1-2 Requirement Preliminary Plat
Minimum Lot Area = 1 acre 4.64 acres
Minimum Lot Width = 150 feet 449 feet
The preliminary plat meets the minimum lot area and lot width requirements for the I-2 Zoning
District.
Planning Case Report 95-05
3 April 28, 1995
The City Engineer reviewed the preliminary plat and made the following comments/
recommendations:
A. Drainage and utility easements are properly shown over the south 170 feet for ponding. It
is recommended the word "ponding" be included with utility and drainage. It is also
recommended an additional 10-foot wide drainage and utility easement be shown along all
lot lines (north, east, west) including Quebec Avenue beyond the ponding area.
Bo
An understanding or agreement is required to allow the City to construct the required
ponding. The detail design, cost sharing and construction schedule for public and private
site improvements must be coordinated with the future Owner since details for each are not
known at this time. The private site improvements must maintain proper drainage from the
property to the north to the future ponding area.
o
The City Attorney reviewed the preliminary plat and made the following comments/
recommendations:
A. The City of New Hope is listed as owner and developer. The City at this time owns none
of the property. Conductive Containers, Inc. owns the northern parcel, which is legally
described as the "South 205' of Lot 1, Block l, Winnetka Hills 2nd Addition." The
southerly parcel is owned by Ronald D. Van Essen subject to a purchase agreement with the
City of New Hope as buyer. The City in turn has agreed to sell the property to CCI. The
closings on the sale of the property from Van Essen to the City, and from the City to CCL
have been delayed due to title problems. Since the approval of the final plat will likely be
delayed until the City's purchase from Van Essen and subsequent sale to CCI have been
completed, the final plat should list Conductive Containers, Inc. as the owner. Evidence of
title will not be an issue for the southerly parcel because of the City's recent purchase and
sale of the same. However, prior to final approval of the plat our office will need to see
evidence of title for that part of Lot 1, Block 3, Winnetka Hills 2nd Addition currently
owned by Conductive Containers, Inc.
The southerly parcel of property to be platted (part of the existing Lot 5, Auditor's Sub.
324) is subject to two easements, one for utility purposes over the north 15 feet of Lot 5
(Doc. No. 3921273), and a street easement over what is shown on the plat to be a dedication
for Quebec Avenue North (Doc. No. 3380311). Nothing further needs to be done about
these two existing easements. However, the City also has in place a sanitary sewer line
apparently located along the easterly property line of Lot 5 where the same meets the Soo
Line Railroad right-of-way. A phone conversation with the Public Works Department
indicated that a 10-foot wide easement should be sufficient to protect the City's interests.
The majority of the sanitary sewer is protected under the current preliminary plat which
shows a proposed utility and drainage easement for most of the southerly parcel. However,
there is a gap in the dedicated utility easement along the easterly edge of the southerly
parcel. So the final plat should be modified to show at least a 10-foot drainage and utility
easement along the entire easterly border of the property.
Planning Case Report 95-05 4
April 28, 1995
Several additional labels on the plat should be added, particularly those needed to fully
illustrate the metes and bounds description for Parcel 2, including the north, east and west
lines of the existing Lot 5.
I will note for the record that certain information required by New Hope Ord. § 13.041 is
not present on this preliminary plat, including the zoning classification (apparently I-2 for
all of the property to be platted), the location and size of the existing sewers, water mains
and the like, and typographic data.
The Building Official reviewed the plat and had no additional comments besides those already
made.
A. Drainage and utility easements (10') on the perimeter of the lot would be standard practice
for a new plat on "raw" land. "Replats" are the same.
B. Several of the illustrated easements are distorted and should be revised "to scale."
6. Hennepin County reviewed the preliminary plat and had no comments/recommendations, as the
plat does not abut a County right-of-way.
7. Northern States Power Company responded and indicated that they need a 10-foot utility
easement along the east line of the most southerly lot.
8. No comments were received from any other utility companies on the plat.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat of C.C.I. Addition, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Final Plat to incorporate all recommendations/revisions requested by City Engineer, City
Attorney, Building Official and NSP.

RE:
C.C.I. Addition
Our File No: 99.15044
Dear Kirk:
I have reviewed the preliminary plat of C.C.I. Addition as provided
by Lot Surveys, Inc. and find it to be in order, except for the
following:
The City of New Hope is listed as owner and developer.
The City at this time owns none of the property.
Conductive Containers, Inc. owns the northern parcel,
which is legally described as the South 205' of Lot 1,
Block 1, Winnetka Hills 2nd Addition. The southerly
parcel is owned by Ronald D. Van Essen subject to a
purchase agreement with the City of New Hope as buyer.
The City in turn has agreed to sell the property to
C.C.I. The closings on the sale of the property from Van
Essen to the City, and from the City to C.C.I., have been
delayed due to title problems. Since the approval of the
final plat will likely be delayed until the City's
purchase from Van Essen and subsequent sale to C.C.I.
have been completed, the final plat should list
Conductive Containers, Inc. as the owner. Evidence of
title will not be an issue for the southerly parcel
because of the City's recent purchase and sale of the
same. However, prior to final approval of the plat our
office will need to see evidence of title for that part
of'Lot 1, Block 3, Winnetka Hills 2nd Addition currently
owned by Conductive Containers, Inc.

Subject:
Purchase and Sale of Property at 4400 Quebec Avenue North
Dear Brad:
I am writing to update you on the progress the City has made on the acquisition of the vacant
industrial property at 4400 Quebec Avenue North. After lengthy negotiations with the property
owner, the City has agreed to purchase the site for $120,000. At the February 13th City
Council meeting, the Council passed a resolution approving the purchase of the property and
authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute all documents necessary to complete the
closing and acquire the property. At the same meeting, the Council also approved another
resolution authorizing the sale of the property at 4400 Quebec Avenue to Conductive Containers,
Inc. for $60,000 and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute all necessary
documents necessary to complete the closing and sale to CCI. City Attorney Steve Sondrall has
informed me that the purchase agreement is in process and he is trying to schedule a closing on
the City's purchase of the property for March 1st. He would like to schedule the closing with
CCI at the same time, so I would suggest that you contact Steve at 425-5671 to coordinate with
him on the closing. I have enclosed copies of the Council resolutions for your information.
As you are aware, one of the conditions of the sale is that CCI plat the two properties into one
parcel and grant the City a storm water ponding easement with CCI being responsible for the
costs of platting. The platting of a property requires an application and Planning Commission
and City Council approval. There normally is a $225.00 application fee for platting, but the
City Manager has agreed to waive that fee due to the fact that this is a joint venture between
CCI and the City. You will be responsible for platting costs, however. You will need to
complete the enclosed application and return it to the City when you are ready to proceed with
the preliminary and tmal plats. If you want the City to coordinate the platting process for you,
let me know and we will be glad to work with you. We routinely solicit quotes for plats from
surveyors, take the lowest bid and get the preliminary and final plats prepared.

Dan,
Our company has been, for several months, negotiating to buy the
vacant 4500 Quebec building. CCI currently has a facility in Northbrook,
Illinois and 15,000 square feet in Brooklyn Park. The Quebec building
.would accommodate expansion of our manufacturing and office space, and
allow us to bring some of our service group to the New Hope site.
We were prepared to buy the building and do significant remodeling
of the interior and exterior. We estimate the cost of remodeling to be'
$150,000 or more. Our plans included bringing the building up to code for
handicap accessibility by eliminating the mezzanine office set-up. The
site would be a showcase for our static-protective packaging products
which we sell nationally to electronics manufacturers. To sum it up, it is
our intention to clean up and beautify a currently dilapidated building.
Unfortunately, we have run into a major problem. According to your
engineer, Doug Sanstad, full sized semi-trucks cannot access the loading
docks without some street maneuvering. Doug has been patient enough to
listen to numerous parking lot redesign ideas we have had, but none were
deemed acceptable. There is property available next to the building, but
the asking price is high $140,000. Even considering the possibility that it
'could be bought for $100,000 or so, (as the property needs soil
correction) that would be a lot more money than we could spend to
accommodate trucking.
We have come to the conclusion, that unless we can meet code in all
respects - including truck access, it makes no sense to buy this building.
For this reason, I am writing you to determine if there is any way that the
city can help us solve our problem. Is there TIF money available that can
help us buy the adjacent land? Doug suggested the possibility of some use
CONDUCTIVE CONTAINERS INCORPORATED
HIGH PERFORMANCE STATIC CONTROL PRODUCTS
of the land for ponding. I have no previous experience with buying a
building such as this, so I am new to the process. But it would seem
beneficial to the city to have a company, such as ours, clean up a property
that is vacant and deteriorating.
In recent months it has been vandalized more than once. It is not
likely that another company will have a remodeling plan that is as
extensive as ours. Also, it is doubtful that a building of this size will sell
anytime soon without truck access.
Dan, I would appreciate any feedback you might have on this issue.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Sincerely,
Brad Ahlm

Re:
4500 Quebec Avenue
File No. 34GEN
Dear Kirk:
Attached is a 1" = 50' sketch for the property south of 4500 Quebec Avenue North. As
discussed at our meeting it was felt 60' (.42 Ac.) of the 240' width would be combined with
4500 Quebec Avenue. The remaining 180' (1.28 Ac.) would be developed as a ponding area
as shown on the attached sketch. The proposed pond provides 4.4 acre feet of storage
compared to 11.8 acre feet recommended in New Hope's Comprehensive Surface Water
Management Plan.
Listed below are the estimated quantifies and cost to construct the proposed ponding area
and modifications to the existing storm sewer systems. A new storm sewer is also included
to collect drainage from the expanded parking lot. Curb and paving for the new parking
lot is not included or upgrading the existing pavement at 4500 Quebec Avenue. Also
identified but not included is a new storm sewer along the east line of 4500 Quebec Avenue
to 4550 Quebec Avenue. This storm sewer was considered at the time 4550 expanded,
however, it was not constructed.

Re: 4500 Quebec Avenue
The estimated cost not including land acquisition, pavement improvements, and storm sewer
extension to 4550 Quebec Avenue is $93,500.00. As noted the major cost is pond
excavation (10,000 cubic yards) estimated at $60,000.00 ($6.00/cubic yard). In the event the
excavated material can be utilized on another site or disposed of on a nearby site
(Sunnyside Park), the cost for pond excavation could be reduced by as much as 50% or
$30,000.00.
If you have any questions, or require additional information please contact this office.

common surface drainage feature in the district is the open channel that travels along
the east-west railroad line. This channel continues into Crystal and eventually outlets into
the south end of Upper Twin Lake
The only problem area identified for District SC-A4 is a channel erosion problem where the
two major railroad lines meet. This problem was identified in the 1993 Shingle Creek
Water Management Commission Report.
Water Quantity Improvements do not appear to be a major issue in this district aside from
the channel erosion. The series of water quality ponds discussed below will also provide
attenuation of peak flows into Crystal. The channel erosion should be corrected by
riprapping the affected areas.
Water Quality Improvements in SC-A4 include several 2-cell treatment ponds to reduce the
outflow contaminant loads from this large industrial corridor along the railroad lines.
Several of the proposed ponds require use of undeveloped areas within the indust~'ial park
or unused portions of lots already developed. The overall removal efficiency for this district
with improvements in place is 63% with phosphorus concentrations slightly above ecoregion
values. Note that Pond SC-P4.10 can be configured in such a way to protect the apparent
wetland along the railroad tracks.
District SC-A5 is i._o~ated in the east central part of the city just below SC-A4 generally east
ot t~oone Avenue and roughly between 48th Avenue North and 40th Avenue North. Only
a small amount of the district is in Crystal. Only those areas in Crystal that contributed
directly to ponds or analyzed trunks within New Hope were included in the analysis for this
report. There are 22 subdistricts in SC-A5. The land use is mixed with the important types
being SFR, medium and high density residential, industrial, and commercial.
The drainage from this area converges on Fred Sims Park in several trunk systems. From
Fred Sims Park, the stormwater passes through a 72" under Louisiana Avenue into Memory
Lane Pond in Crystal. Memory Lane Pond is recognized as a sensitive area for stormwater
management by the cities of Crystal and New Hope. The proposed improvements are
intended to benefit Memory Lane Pond as well as local drainage issues in New Hope.
5-48 System Ana.lysis
The_e City of New Hope identified four problem areas inside the city. in district SC-AS. One
problem area is street flooding on Xyion Avenue between 45th and 46th Avenues North.
The second problem area is on 42nd Avenue North where it crosses the railroad line. The
third problem site is on 42nd Avenue North just east of Xylon Avenue The fourth is Fred
Sims Park itself due to flooding problems in the park due to flooding in downstream
Memory Lane Pond.
Water Quantity Improvements in SC-A5 address the various local drainage problems along
with the regional problem at Memory Lane Pond for the portion in New Hope contributing
to this area. The propose expansion of Ponds SC-PS.12, SC-P5.21, SC-P5.5, and SC-P5.20
as well as creation of Ponds ,SC-P5.19 and SC-P5.14 are designed to reduce flooding
problems fit the three local problem areas as well as address the regional problem as Fred
Sims Park/Memory Lane Pond.
Pond SC-P5.12 should ideally have its present control structure removed and replaced with
a 21" orifice at the invert elevation of 895.5'. The change to Pond SC-P5.12 along with
other improvements will have a beneficial impact on Crystal's flooding problems. The City,
of Crystal should be informed of the proposed improvements. Proposed Pond SC-P5.19
must be designed with an overland route at the HWL elevation to prevent local damage.
Appendix C shows the detailed improvements for the above mentioned ponds.
!
Along with the pond improvements, some storm sewers must be upgraded to relieve low
capacity segments between ponds. The line on 4$th Avenue east of Xylon Avenue will be
upgraded to 36" and then 42" pipes to allow 5-year storms to reach Pond SC-P5.12 without
flooding. In addition, the trunk on Winnetka Avenue will be blocked at 42nd Avenue
North to relieve flows in the 45th Avenue North trunk since the 36" trunk going to the
southeast has the capacity for these flows with the upgrade of the small segment of 30" pipe
at the 42nd Avenue North/Winnetka Avenue intersection. The proposed pipe changes along
with existing trunk capacities are given in Appendix B.
.!
The Oregon Avenue improvement will require a 27" upgrade. With additional inlet capacity
from more catch basins on 42nd Avenue North under the railroad tracks and the 27" on
Oregon Avenue upgrade, the stormwater traveling in the streets to the 42nd Avenue North
low spot will be minimized and thus lessen street flooding problems here. Some flooding
will continue to occur at this intersection, but its frequency and duration should be
somewhat less. To bring this area up to design standards would require replacing almost
System Analysis 5-49
1700 feet of 42" pipe up to Fred Sims Park. This upgrade would be very costly and would
require coor4mation with the City of Crystal. Until the Memory Lane Pond flooding
problem has been addressed, no upgrades to the 42" line are proposed. The proposed pipe
changes along with existing trunk capacities are given in Appendix B.
Water Quality Improvements in SC-A5 are designed to protect the water quality, of the
district and Memory Lane Pond as well as the small lakes south of Twin Lakes, Ryan Creek,
and eventually Shingle Creek. Ponds SC-P5.12, SC-P5.5, and SC-P5.20 will have their pond
area and wet volume expanded for increased stormwater treatment. Ponds SC-P5.19, SC-
P5.14, and SC-P5.15 include proposed wet volume excavation to coml~lete treatment of the
unponded areas.
The high degree of treatment in this district is fortunate since much of the land use is
industrial. The proposed 2-cell pond at Fred Sims Park is very important in attaining the
desired contaminant removals since several areas, namely Subdistricts SC-A5.17, SC-A5.18,
SC-A5.22, SC-A5.15, SC-A5.9, SC-AS.10, SC-A5.4, SC-A5.7, and SC-A5.8 totaling 182.5
acres, cannot be treated prior to Fred Sims Park. With the water quality pond at the park
the removal efficiency for the district is expected to be 60% and only slightly higher than
ecoregion phosphorus concentrations (20% higher). If the pond were not provided, the
outflow phosphorus concentration could expect to be 50% higher than with the proposed
pond. The data on the water quality ponds is presented in Appendix D.
District SC-A6 is located in the northwestern central part of the city west of Wisconsin
Avenue in the southern portion and west of Boone Avenue in the northern portion of the
district. It lies roughly between West Research Road and 42nd Avenue North. There are
19 subdistricts in SC-A6. The land use is basically two types, SFR and industrial. There
is slightly more acreage in SFR than industrial. Two major wetlands exist in this district
totaling about 30 acres.
The drainage from this area includes 324 acres that comes from Plymouth. Approximately
257 acres of the Plymouth drainage enters in the south of the district and eventually flows
out of New Hope and back into Plymouth from the northern portion of the district along
with the other 67 acres from Plymouth and the runoff generated in New Hope. From the
exit point in New Hope at the intersection of State Highway 169 and Bass Lake Road the

BACKGROUND
The petitioner is requesting site/building plan review/approval for a building addition pursuant
to Section 4.039A - New Hope Code of Ordinances.
Industrial Tool, Inc. is proposing to add an 80' x 125' (10,000) square foot warehouse/
manufacturing/office addition to their existing 20,000 square foot facility. The addition would
be added to the rear (east side) of the existing facility.
o
Industrial Tool, Inc. produces custom automated machines for the auto industry (example: water
pumps). The company currently employs 33 employees and it is anticipated that 10 new
employees would be added with the building expansion.
The property is located at the east end of the 52nd Avenue North cul-de-sac and is located in an
I-l, Limited Industrial, Zoning District. Surrounding land uses (north/south/east/west) are all
I-l, Limited Industrial, with a wetland located to the east of the site and the Soo Line Railroad
right-of-way located directly north of the site.
5. The site is located in Planning District #9 of the Comprehensive Plan which allows for
compatible industrial and business developments.
6. The site was zoned General Industry from 1956-1961, at which time it was reclassified as I-1,
Limited Industrial.
7. The topography of the site slopes down hill from the railroad tracks towards the southwest and
southeast, with a 15' elevation change.
o
The existing building and the proposed addition meet all setback requirements and performance
standards. This is a permitted use in the I-1 Zone and no variances or conditional use permits
are necessary.
9. The petitioner states on the application that the request should be granted to allow the logical
expansion of an established local business.

Recommendation/Response to City of Plymouth Comprehensive Guide Plan
Major Amendment to Add 130 Acres of the Proposed 161-Acre Wayzata High
School Site to the MUSA and Reguide the Entire Site from LAR to LA-1
Northwestern Plymouth
LAR (Rural Density/Agricultural)
City of Plymouth
April 28, 1995
May 2, 1995
BACKGROUND
The City of Plymouth is requesting Metropolitan Council approval of a major Comprehensive
Plan amendment.
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to add an additional 31 acres to the City's MUSA
(Metropolitan Urban Service Area). This 31 is part of a 161 acre site which Plymouth and
Independent School District 284 are proposing to develop as a 3,200 student, four-grade high
school and City recreation field. The site is located in the northwest quadrant near the
intersection of Highway 55 and County Road 9, old Rockford Road.
In accordance with the Metropolitan Council's guidelines for reviewing local Comprehensive Plan
Amendments, the Metropolitan Council requires adjacent cities which may be potentially affected
by the proposed amendment be notified. The purpose of this notification is to provide potentially
affected communities the opportunity to review and comment on the effects of the proposed
amendment. (The City reviewed a similar plan amendment for the City of Crystal several years
ago.)
The
A.
B.
Co
review process that has been followed in the past is as follows:
Submit amendment to Planning Consultant for review, comment and recommendations.
Have Codes & Standards Committee meet with staff and Planning Consultant to
review/discuss recommendations.
Codes & Standards Committee presents recommendations to Planning Commission.
Planning Commission presents recommendations to City Council.
Staff responds to Metropolitan Council and City proposing amendment, per City Council
action.
This amendment was submitted to the Planning Consultant and his recommendations are included
in this report. The Codes & Standards Committee was scheduled to meet at the end of April and
this item was one of several that was to be discussed, however, staff requested that the meeting
be canceled/rescheduled due to a meeting conflict regarding a grant/loan from the Metro HRA.
Staff would like to respond to this amendment and not wait another month, therefore, staff is
Planning Case Report 95-03
2 March 30, 1995
bringing this matter directly to the Commission. Due to the simple nature of the amendment
and the minimal impact on New Hope, staff requests that the Commission consider the
consultants recommendations at this meeting.
The Planning Consultant has prepared the attached memorandum/comments in review of
Plymouth's proposed amendment and the potential impacts to the City of New Hope in relation
to New Hope's Community Development Plan.
ANALYSIS
New Hope Community Development Plan. The Wayzata High School project and
corresponding Plymouth Comprehensive Plan amendment do not appear to conflict with the goals
and policies of the New Hope Community Development Plan.
ISD 284. The proposed high school project is intended to serve Independent School District 284.
The City of New Hope is served by ISD 281. Thus, no students in New Hope are intended to
be served by the proposed project. ISD 281 might be minimally impacted by the proposed
project as a number of students within the district could choose to attend school in ISD 284
through the State's open enrollment program. However, the number of students participating in
this program are not anticipated to be significant.
Road System Impact. Plymouth staff has concluded that the proposed project will not adversely
impact the regional street and highway system. A traffic study, prepared as part of an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet, concluded that despite an increase in traffic volumes,
there is sufficient roadway capacity to support development of the proposed project.
Of importance to the City of New Hope is the impact of the project on traffic volumes of County
Road 9 (old Rockford Road) and County Road 47. Both of these roads extend east of the project
site and into New Hope. However, staff believes impact to these roadways in New Hope will
be minimal or non-existent due to the distance of the site from the New Hope border and the fact
that the project is planned to serve few, if any, New Hope residents. Thus, very few trips along
these roadways in New Hope are expected to be generated as a result of this project.
Sewer and Water Service Capacity. Sewer and water service is not anticipated to be negatively
impacted by the proposed project. The City of Plymouth is projecting a waste water average
daily flow of approximately 27,000 gallons per day less than originally projected by the Plymouth
Sewer Plan for development in this area. Thus, the proposed project reduces demands on the
regional sewer system and will not adversely affect New Hope's ability to provide sewer service
to its residents.
RECOMMENDATION
Having completed a thorough review of the proposed Plymouth Comprehensive Plan amendment, staff
finds that the amendment will not adversely affect the City of New Hope, its residents, or its adopted
goals and policies. This finding is based primarily upon the proposed project's location in
northwestern Plymouth and association with Independent School District 284. Staff recommends these
findings be approved and forwarded to the City of Plymouth as a response to the proposed
amendment.

be minimal or non-existent due to the distance of the site from the New Hope border and the fact'
that the project is planned to serve few if any New Hope residents. Thus, very few trips along
these roadways in New Hope are expected to be generated as a result of this project.
Sewer and Water Service Capacity. Sewer and water service is not anticipated to be
negatively impacted by the proposed project. The City of Plymouth is projecting a waste water
average daily flow of approximately 27,000 gallons per day less than originally projected by the
Plymouth Sewer Plan for development in this area. Thus, the proposed project reduces demands
on the regional sewer system and will not adversely affect New Hope's ability to provide sewer
service to its residents.
CONCLUSION
Having completed a thorough review of the proposed Plymouth Comprehensive Plan amendment,
staff finds that the amendment will not adversely affect the City of New Hope, its residents, or
its adopted goals and policies. This finding is based primarily upon the proposed project's
location in northwestern Plymouth and association with Independent School District 284. Staff
recommends these findings be approved and forwarded to thc City of Plymouth as a response
to the proposed amendment.

diluting them prior to flushing.
Supplemental Answer to Question Al.
19. c. If wastes will be discharged into a sewer system or pretreatment system, identify the
system and discuss the ability of the system to accept the volume and composition of
the wastes. Identify any improvements which will be necessary.
The sewage system connected to the Wayzata High School facility and the proposed park
building would connect to a proposed future ten-inch sewer line from the south. This ten-inch line
would continue south along Peony Lane and will serve the Soo Line West Development as well
before connecting with a proposed twelve-inch trunk sewer line that will run along Old Rockford
Road.
The City of Plymouth has concluded that sufficient sanitary sewer and water capacity Is
available to serve the proposed facility. The proposed high school at full develdpment would
generate about 64,000 gallons per daY. In the short term (five years), this flow would amount to
50,000 gallons per day. The City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan shows an average dally flow of
almost 20,000 gallons for the portion of the site already within the MUSA (31 acres). In addition,
the Plan shows an average dally flow of 108,000 gallons for the 72 acres Immediately south of the
high school site. However, since the Plan was prepared, the City Council has regulded this site
from industrial to residential and It will act on a proposed 11&unit single family development for
this site on March 7, 1995~ Projected flow from the 118 homes Is 37,120 gallons per day, 70,880
gallons per day less than the Plan shows. Overall, the projected flows from the entire high school
site and the area Immediately south of the site are roughly 27,000 gallons per day lower than the
Clty's Sewer Plan provides for.

Ground Water - Potential for Contamination
a. Approximate depth (in feet) to ground water: 4.5 minimum; 4.5 to 15 average.
b. Describe any of the following site hazards to ground water and also identify them on
the site map: sinkholes; shallow limestone formations/karst conditions; soils with high
infiltration rates; abandoned or unused wells. Describe measures to avoid or minimize
environmental problems due to any of these hazards.
None of these site hazards to groundwater are known to exist at the site.
c. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present on the project site and
identify measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating ground water.
The only toxic or hazardous materials which could pose a concern for contamination of
groundwater would be herbicides and fertilizers used on the grounds and fuel oll which would be
stored in underground storage tanks on-site. The school dlstrlcfs application of herbicides Is
contracted through vendors, so very little would be stored on site. Vendors would follow
conventional application procedures to minimize excess application of these materials and to

Traffic Analysis for the Wayzata Senior High School
INTRODUCTION
Independent School District #284 is proposing to relocate the existing Wayzata Senior High
School from its current location at 305 Vicksburg Lane in Plymouth, to a new. building
located off of Peony Lane to the north of Trunk Highway 55. The existing school on
Vicksburg will continue to have an educational function as a middle school.
The new high school, to be constructed in the northwest quadrant of Peony Lane and the Soo
Line Railroad, is to consist of 487,000 square feet and will ultimately be one of the largest
high schools in the state. The school will have the capacity to accommodate 3,200 students
in grades nine through twelve as well as 275 faculty and staff members. It is expected that
the school will be available for occupancy in the fall of 1997. At this time, enrollment is
expected to number around 2,350 students with 235 faculty and staff. The school will also
have a community education function and recreational facilities including a 4,800-seat
stadium which will be available for municipal uses.
The new high School will have a single main entrance for all student, faculty, and staff
members which will be located directly off of Peony Lane. Approximately 1,419 parking
stalls will be available on-site for students and staff. A secondary entrance north of the
school will primarily serve bus traffic and provide access for certain student programs. The
secondary entrance may potentially be open to limited vehicular traffic during special
events.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the traffic analysis is to determine the impacts resulting from the proposed
high school under 1997 A.M. and P.M. peak hour conditions, as well as to identify any
necessary improvements on adjacent roadways and intersections. A.M. peak hour
conditions using 2015 traffic projections will be evaluated also. The analysis results will
provide the necessary foundation from which to conduct the air quality and noise analysis to
be provided in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet being conducted for the high
school.
EX/STING CONDITIONS
State Trunk H£ghway 55 (TH 55) is a four-lane divided roadway classified as an
"intermediate arterial" in the City of Plymouth's Transportation Plan. TH 55 serves as a
major commuter route for the Twin Cities, and Minneapolis in particular. Traffic is heavily
directional during the peak commuter periods. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes are on
the order of 21,000 vehicles per day along TH 55 at its intersection with Peony Lane.
Old Rockford Road (CR 9) is a major collector with a two-lane paved cross-section. CR 9
travels east-west and intersects with Peony Lane north of TH 55. The speed limit along Old
Rockford Road is currently 50 mph at the intersection. ADT on Old Rockford Road is
approximately 3,500 vehicles east of Peony Lane.
County Road 47 (CR 47) is classified as a major collector and has a two-lane rural cross-
section. CR 47 has an east-west alignment and travels from east of 1-494 to CR 101.
Average Daily Traffic on CR 47 is approximately 1,700 vehicles per day at its intersection
with Peony Lane.
Peony Lane is currently a two-lane road and is classified as a minor arterial North of Old
Rockford Road, Peony Lane has a gravel surface and a primary function of residential and
agricultural land access. ADT north of Old Rockford Road is estimated at 200 vehicles per
day. Peony Lane is paved south of Old Rockford Road and junctions with TH 55 at a
signalized intersection. The south leg of CR 101 is located opposite Peony Lane across TH
55.
County Road 101 (CR IOI) is a two-lane minor arterial located opposite TH 55 from Peony
Lane. Current ADT along CR 101 is approximately 6,200 vehicles.
PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Plymouth's Capital Improvement Program (1990-2015) Contains the following
planned improvements:
Short Term (throUgh 1997)
The City of Plymouth has indicated that Peony Lane will be improved to a four-lane paved
section from the intersection with TH 55 northward to the high school/Schraidt Lake Road
(proposed) intersection. The intersection of Peony Lane and the Soo Line tracks will be
grade-separated during the reconstruction. North of the site, Peony Lane will be paved with
a two-lane rural cross-section and will extend to CR 47 near Lawndale Lane. The relocation
of CR 9 opposite CR 24 is under construction and will be completed this year.
Long Term (1997 to 2015)
Local long-term improvements include upgrading CR 101 south of TH 55 to a four-lane cross-
section. Peony Lane north of the site will be upgraded to a four-lane section and function as
a minor arterial. Peony Lane will most likely be placed under Hermepin County jurisdiction
at this time as CR 101. Schmidt Lake Road will be extended from Vicksburg Lane to Peony
Lane to end opposite the proposed high school driveway.

TRIP GENERATION
The number of vehicle trips which will be generated by the relocated Wayzata Senior High
School were estimated using trip generation rates published in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, fifth edition, 1991. This source is the
industry standard reference for estimating traffic generation characteristics for various
development types. Trip generation estimates for the high school under initial occupancy
(1997 w/2,400 students) and capacity (2015 w/3,200 students) conditions are specified in
Table 1.
TABLE 1
TRIP GENERATION PROJECTIONS FOR THE WAYZATA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
P.M. Peak Hour A.M. Peak Hour
Daily (4:30-5:30 P.M.) (7:00-8:00 A.M.)
Size Unit Rate I Trips Rate I Trips I In/Out Rate Trips I In/Out
2,400 Students 0.936 2,247 0.08 192 56/136 0.41 984 669/315
3~200 Students 0.779 2~492 0.08 256 74/182 0.41 1312 892/420
As the Table indicates, the highest hourly trip generation will occur during the A.M. peak
period from 7:00 to 8:00 A.M. During this period, the traffic generated by the school includes
staff and student arrivals, student drop-offs, and bus activity. Traffic generation during the
P.M. peak hour of adjacent street traffic (4:30 to 5:30 P.M.) will be much less, at
approximately 200 trips.
Based upon the trip generation results, it has been determined that the A.M. peak hour
traffic impacts will be most critical. During this period, the traffic generated by the high
school will be at its highest levels and will coincide with the weekday A.M. commuter rush-
hour, particularly along TH 55. If the traffic generated by the high school can be
accommodated during the A.M. time period, then it will likely not cause problems at other
times during an average weekday. Special event trip generation, such as for football or
commencement exercises, will be addressed later in this report.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The directions of approach and departure for site-generated traffic are a function of the
population distribution within Independent School District #284 (ISD#284) and the perceived
travel times along the various routes to and from the site. Areas within the district which
have a high population concentration will tend to generate a higher proportion of site traffic
than will areas with lower concentration. In addition, traffic generated by the site will
typically travel along the path with the lowest perceived travel time. With this in mind,
ISD #284 was sub-divided into smaller "zones" based upon the Metropolitan Councirs
regional zone system. The population by zone is then readily available based upon
Metropolitan Council projections. The trips per zone were estimated based upon the
population. Summation over the entire district results in the final directional distribution at
the local level. A summary of the directional distribution for 1997 and 2015 conditions is
contained on Figure 1.
As the figure shows, the majority of traffic will be to/from the south and east along TH 55,
CR 101, and Schrnidt Lake Road (2015).
TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT
Once the trip generation and distribution have been identified, the trips are assigned to the
local street and intersection network. The assignment has been conducted for peak period
and daily analysis under two future year scenarios. The 1997 scenario includes the following
assumptions:
2,400 students enrolled at the high school
40 buses arriving in the A.M. peak hour
Peony Lane upgraded to a four-lane cross-section south of the main entrance
Peony Lane realigned and paved as a two-lane rural section north of the school site to
CR 47
Peony Lane/Old Rockford Road unsignalized with stop control on Old Rockford' Road
40 mile per hour speed limit on Peony Lane
CR 9 east of the site re-aligned to TH 55 opposite CR 24
The 1997 site-generated traffic forecasts for A.M. and P.M. peak hour time periods are
contained on Figure 2a.
The 2015 scenario includes the following assumptions in addition to those listed above:
Peony Lane upgraded to a four-lane undivided cross-section north of the school site
through CR 47 and into Maple Grove with a minor arterial classification
No access from Old Rockford Road to TH 55 west of Peony Lane
Schmidt Lake Road will be constructed from Vicksburg to Peony Lane and will end at
a signalized intersection opposite the school site driveway
CR 116 upgraded to a four-lane facility
TH 55/Peony Lane an at-grade intersection (this intersection may eventually become
grade-separated beyond the year 2015)
CR 101 south of TH 55 upgraded to a four-lane cross-section
All other roadway improvements included in the Plymouth Transportation Plan
The 2015 site-generated traffic forecasts for the A.M. peak hour are contained on Figure 2b.
TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The 2015 A.M. peak hour post-development traffic projections include the assumptions listed
in the previous section and are based on ADT projections provided to Barton-Aschman by the
City of Plymouth. In addition to the infrastructure assumptions, the ADT projections
assume full development within the City of Plymouth and partial development of Maple
Grove, Corcoran, and Medina. Peak hour turning movements have been derived based upon
these ADT projections using existing traffic projections and a pivot-point analysis. Post-
development peak hour traffic projections are displayed on Figures 3a and 3b. ADT
projections are contained on Figure 4.

cAPAcITY ANALYSIS
A capacity analysis has been conducted at each of the intersections impacted by the
additional traffic generated by the high school in order to ascertain their post-development
level of service. This includes the following intersections in particular:
TH 55/Peony Lane
Peony Lane/Old Rockford Road
Peony Lane/Main Driveway/Schmidt Lake Road
Peony Lane/CR 47 (2015 only)
The following local intersections are not deemed to be impacted by the school traffic given
the magnitude of additional traffic forecast to pass-through the intersection:
TH 55/Old Rockford Road
Peony Lane/CR 47 (1997 only)
In addition, a preliminary review of the 2015 post-development traffic projections indicate
that the Peak Hour Volume Warrant criteria for installing a traffic signal contained in the
Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD) will be met at the
intersections along Peony Lane at Old Rockford Road, Schmidt Lake Road, and CR 47. It
has been assumed for the purposes of the capacity analysis that each of these intersections
will be signalized at some point prior to 2015.
A summary of the LOS results are contained in Table 2.

The results of the capacity analysis show that intersection LOS at TH 55/Peony Lane will be
satisfactory for 1997 post-development conditions. With the improvements of Peony Lane to
a four-lane cross-section and the concurrent improvements to CR 9, it is recommended that
the stop control be changed from the Peony Lane approaches to the Old Rockford Road

app~'oaches. This will minimize the queuing of northbound vehicles along Peony Lane,
expected to occur during the A.M. peak hour. Minor street movements at the intersection of
Peony Lane and Old Rockford Road will experience a LOS F (long delays) condition.
However, the relocation of CR 9 to CR 24 will provide an attractive route for traffic destined
to and from TH 55, allowing them to bypass this intersection.
Traditional Highway Capacity Manual methodology has indicated that critical movements at
the intersection of Peony Lane and the school driveway will operate at LOS E conditions
during the peak hour as an unsignalized intersection. However, the options to control this
intersection are limited. The high number of northbound left-turning vehicles in the A.M.
peak hour indicate dual turning lanes are needed. One option would be to stop-control the
north and west approaches and allow the south approach to operate free-flow. Lengthy
delays will likely occur with this option, particularly for minor street left-turning traffic. In
addition, the dual left-turning movement is traditionally controlled with protected signal
phasing. A second option is to stop the west approach and provide a single left-turn lane
northbound. This will result in abnormally long queue lengths which may extend beyond the
Old Rockford Road intersection during sharp demand peaks. Undoubtedly, this
configuration will result in drivers bypassing the left-turn lane queues and turning into the
site from the through lanes.
It is our recommendation that a signal be considered at this location in order to adequately
and safely control the large number of left-turning vehicles during the A.M. peak period.
The signal could operate as a three-phase signal allocating green time to each of the three
approaches in turn. This would allow for dual left-turn lanes northbound or, potentially, a
left-turn lane and a shared left-turn through lane northbound. The analysis conducted at
this time does not indicate that the signal will meet the Minnesota Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD) Volume Warrant for signalization. However, given the
nature of the development, a substantial peaking of the driveway traffic may occur. This
would effectively raise the equivalent hourly volume to where peak hour signal warrants
may be met. Other warrants could be met and it is recommended that this intersection be
monitored periodically to determine if this is the case.
The year 2015 analyses have indicated that improvements will likely be required to
accommodate projected demand while maintaining appropriate intersection levels of service.
A listing of the expected improvements follow:
Traffic signals along Peony Lane at Old Rockford Road, Schmidt Lake Road, and
CR 47
Dual left-turn lanes eastbound and westbound on TH 55 at the intersection with
Peony Lane
Dual left-turn lanes northbound and southbound on Peony Lane at Schmidt Lake
Road
With the addition of these improvements, the intersections will operate acceptably during
peak hours.

QUEUE LENGTH ANALYSIS
A comparison was made between the maximum predicted queue lengths and the available
intersection spacing to determine if adequate storage will exist to accommodate queued
vehicles. The results of the analysis for the 2015 A.M. peak hour are contained in Table 3.

ADDITIONAL ISSUES
Site Circulation
The site entrance and on-site circulation roads must be designed in order to adequately
accommodate the heavy inbound movements during the A.M. peak hour. Two inbound lanes
should be provided at the Peony Lane entrance and carried onto the site an adequate
distance to clear left-turning vehicles from the Peony Lane intersection. Likewise, two
outbound lanes will be required in order to accommodate existing traffic.
Bus Traffic
The high school is predicted to be serviced by approximately 40 buses based upon data
received from the school district. It has been assumed that nearly all bus traffic will
originate from-the south and east in the more-distant and populous areas of the City of
Plymouth. As the bus traffic will all enter and exit via the bus corral entrance to the north,
no complications are expected, provided the design of the intersections and on-site bus corral
are sufficient to accommodate the turning radius and operational, characteristics of school
buses.
Special Events / Community Events
As discussed previously, the high school will have a number of activities outside of normal"
school hours. These include community education and recreational activities. The
community education functions will typically occur during weekday evenings. Traffic
generation for these functions are expected to be much less than during the normal high
school hours. Information regarding hours and enrollment for community education have
not been reviewed at this time, but intuitively this type of weekday evening activity is not
expected to cause traffic problems given the lower levels of background traffic and low levels
of site-generated traffic.
The City of Plymouth Will also be holding recreational sporting activities at the Wayzata
Senior High School. These activities are expected to occur primarily during weekend hours
and will include city youth and adult leagues. Trip generation levels will be lower than
weekday A.M. levels and more evenly distributed throughout the day. AS such, it is not
anticipated that these events will greatly impact traffic operations.
High School Football / Commencement
Trip generation for the high school during football games, commencement, and large track
meets will be significant. Available data regarding trip generation for these types of events
is sparse resulting from the relatively few times per year they occur. However, for football
games a worst-case situation can be estimated assuming the 4,800-seat stadium is at
capacity. The total number of vehicles generated can then be estimated by applying an auto
occupancy rate of 2.8 persons/vehicle resulting in approximately 1,710 vehicles. This
translates into approximately 3,400 trip ends from (6:30 to 10:00 P.M.) on a Friday evening.
An intersection-level analysis has not been conducted at this time to determine the impacts
of football games and other special events on the Peony Lane intersections, given the
infrequency of these events. Additional mitigation measures may be necessary prior to and
14
immediately after the events in order to safely and efficiently move vehicles to and from the
school. These could potentially include manual direction of traffic, pre-emption of traffic
signals, and placement of traffic control barriers. Potential for opening the bus corral
entrance to general traffic during these events should also be considered provided adequate
traffic control can be provided. It is our recommendation that further analysis be conducted
of special event activities as required, including the development of a traffic control plan if
necessary.
Analysis of the P.M. Peak Hour of Generator (2:00 to 3:00 P.M.)
Given the nature of the proposed development, the critical time period, in terms of
evaluating off-site traffic impacts, is the A.M. peak hour (7:00 to 8:00 A.M.). However, in
order to review the adequacy of the school driveway to provide sufficient exiting capacity, an
analysis was conducted under 2015 P.M. peak hour of generator conditions.
The trip generation associated with the P.M. peak hour of generator has been estimated
using ITE Trip Generation. The resulting trip generation rate is 0.23 trips per student or
736 total trip ends during the hour froTM 2:00 to 3:00 P.M. Approximately 65 to 70 percent of
these trips are expected to be outbound.
Background traffic levels along Schrnidt Lake Road and Peony Lane at the intersection were
estimated by applying a five percent factor to the projected average daily traffic levels. A
capacity analysis was then conducted at the intersection using the procedures outlined
earlier in this report. The intersection geometrics assumed for the intersection were
consistent with the earlier analysis and include four lanes on Peony Lane with dual left-turn
lanes northbound and southbound. The site driveway will also be four lanes with two
inbound lanes for a sufficient distance to clear vehicles from the Peony Lane intersection.
Schmidt Lake Road will also have a four-lane cross-section as outlined in the City of
Plymouth's Transportation Plan.
The results of the signalized intersection capacity analysis indicate that the school driveway
will operate at a LOS C during, the P~M. peak hour of generator with individual approaches
operating at LOS C or better. Maximum queue lengths on all approaches are expected to be
readily accommodated by available storage. Maximum queue lengths eastbound are
expected to be in the range of 210 feet, assuming two exit lanes are provided.
CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions summarize the traffic impact analysis conducted for the Wayzata
Senior High School:
1997 Initial Occupancy:
The high school will generate approximately 980 trips during the A.M. peak hour
(7:00 to 8:00 A.M.) upon initial enrollment in 1997, Significantly fewer trips will
occur during the P.M. peak hour.
o
A.M. peak hour traffic operations will be most critical given the nature of the
development and background traffic levels.
15
Based upon existing population data within ISD#284, site-generated traffic will be
distributed mainly from the east and south. The majority of site traffic will use
either TH 55 east of Peony Lane, Old Rockford Road east of Peony Lane, or CR 101.
Traffic impacts on arterials and roadways north of CR 47 will be minimal.
o
The TH 55/Peony Lane intersection will operate within acceptable levels with the
improvements to Peony Lane outlined in the City of Plymouth's Transportation Plan.
Stop control at the Peony Lane/Old Rockford Road intersection should be on the east
and west approaches with the improvements to Peony Lane. Minor street traffic will
experience significant delay at this intersection and will likely divert to TH 55 at the
new CR 9/TH 55 intersection programmed for this year.
o
The intersection of Peony Lane/School Driveway will operate in a minimally
satisfactory manner for A.M. peak hour conditions. Signalized control should be
considered at this intersection in order to safely and efficiently accommodate site-
generated traffic, particularly during the A.M. peak hour. The intersection should be
monitored periodically to evaluate whether a signal is warranted. Other times of the
day the intersection will operate at acceptable conditions.,
Trip generation for special events may be sufficient to justify opening the bus corral
entrance to general traffic. Adequate traffic control should be provided to safely and
efficiently accommodate the additional traffic resulting from these events.
2015 ~LM. Peak Hour Conditions:
1. The school will generate approximatelY 1,300 trips during the A.M. peak hour.
o
Population projections within ISD#284 indicate that site-generated traffic will
continue to be distributed mainly from the east and south. Site traffic will use
primarily TH 55, Schmidt Lake Road, and CR 101. Lesser amounts will use CR 47
and Old Rockford Road.
o
The distribution of site-generated traffic indicates that the high school will not have a
significant impact on roadways and arterials north of CR 47.
Some intersection and roadway improvements will be required to accommodate the
peak hour traffic projected for 2015. Dual left-turn lanes offofTH 55 at Peony Lane
and off of Peony Lane at Schmidt Lake Road will likely be necessary.
Based upon the peak hour traffic projections, traffic signal warrants will be met at
the intersections along Peony Lane at Old Rockford Road, Schmidt Lake Road, and
CR 47.
Sufficient intersection spacing currently exists to accommodate queued vehicles. No
spillback conditions are expected with the improvements recommended in this report.
16
Based upon the analysis conducted herein, the planned improvements contained in
the City of Plymouth's Transportation Plan will be sufficient to accommodate the
traffic projected for 2015 conditions provided the additional improvements outlined
above are implemented.
2015 P.M. Peak Hour of Generator Conditions:
Trip generation during the P.M. peak hour of generator (2:00 to 3:00 P.M.) will be on
the order of 740 trips.
The intersection of the school driveway with Peony Lane and Schmidt Lake Road will
operate acceptably (LOS C) with the improvements outlined in this report.

By preserving the forest Immediately adjacent to Elm Creek, bank erosion would be limited.
Wate[ quality In the creek would be maintained through erosion control measures during and
after construction (see Question 17 below), and by constructing NURP basins to treat surface
runoff (see Question 18 below).
bo
Are there any state-listed endangered, threatened, or special-concern species; rare plant
communities; colonial waterbird nesting colonies; native prairie or other rare habitat; or
other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site? ~ Yes ~ No
If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a
site survey of the resources was conducted. Describe measures to be taken to minimize
or avoid adverse impacts.
The firm of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban requested a search of the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources' Natural Heritage Database during the preparation of an EAW (dated
September 16, 1994) for the nearby Soo Line East Planned Unit Development described In
Question 9. That property Is located immediately south of the Soo Une Railroad tracks on the
east side of Peony Lane. The records search was performed for a one mile radius around the
proposed development area, which would Include the Wayzata High School property. The
records search revealed no occurrences of rare species or natural features In the area.
Answer to Question VB
12. Physical Impacts on Water Resour~s Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic
alteration (dredging, filling, stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, impoundment) of any
surface water (lake, pond, wetland, stream, drainage ditch)? ~ Yes r~ No
If yes, identify the water resource to be affected and describe: the alteration, including the
construction process; volumes of dredged or fill material; area affected; length of stream
diversion; water surface area affected; timing and extent of fluctuations in water surface
elevations; spoils disposal sites; and proposed mitigation measures to minimize impacts.
Wetlands on the project site would be Impacted to varying degrees. There are eight discrete
wetland basins on the site, ranging In size from 0.01 acres to 5.42 acres. (Wetlands on the site are
pictured In Figure 6-1). The total wetland acreage on the project site Is 7.3 acres. Efforts have
been made In the preliminary design to avoid or minimize wetland takings wherever practicable.
The exact number of acres that will be Impacted by the project will not be determined exactly
until the final site design is. completed. An estimated 0.92 acres would be Impacted to fit all the
required program elements Into the site design. Table 12-1 shows the estimated wetland
Impacts to the eight basins.

These wetlands did not show up on the National Wetland Inventory or the City's verlflcatloo of
the NWl, and therefore were not classified.
Mltlgatlon of wetland Impacts from filling or disturbance would Include replacement of wetland
acreage In a 2:1 ratio on the site. The new wetlands that are constructed would be either the
same types or "higher value" wetlands than the ones that are Impacted. The City of Plymouth
has 'recently adopted a wetland protection ordinance. All mitigation will abide by the
requirements of Plymouth"s ordinance as well as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Roughly three acres of the site are available for mitigation,
so mitigation will likely be on-site.
Elm Creek and associated minor drainages traverse the site as shown in Figure 6-1. No direct
impacts to any surface waters would result from this project. It Is likely that pedestrian crossings of
streams would be provided In two places to permit access to playing fields and the
environmental education section of the site, but these structures are anticipated to be clear-
span structures that would not contact the stream channel Itself.
Methods to protect surface waters from non-point sources of pollution (runofO are described In
Question 18 below.

The site contatns steep slopes of over 18 percent. Soil types EnE (18-24% slope), which would not
be affected by grading and HdF (24-35% slope), which would be affected by grading, occur on
the site. Temporary and permanent erosion control measures would be Incorporated Into the
construction plans for the project. These measures will be consistent with the City of Plymouth
erosion control regulations.
Temporary methods employed to control erosion would Include, mulching, bale checks, slit
fences, sediment traps, and other site appropriate methods. Temporary ponding would be
needed during construction as well. Permanent erosion control would be handled by a storm
water sewer system outlet to a series of NURP ponds.
Answer to Question VD
18. Water Quality - Surfaco Water Runoff
a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project. Describe
methods to be used to manage and/or treat runoff.
The ground cover--and therefore the quantity and quality of runoff--will be altered by the
proposed project. The existing ground cover Is cropland and woodland. It will be altered to
Impervious surface (pavement and roofs) and grass (athletic fields and landscaped lawns].
Some woodland south of Elm Creek will remain after the project Is completed. The drainage
areas north of Elm Creek will not be disturbed.
The proposed project will create about 27 acres of Impervious surface on the 161-acre site. This
Impervious surface could, potentially, increase the peak discharge of storm water runoff entering
Elm Creek. To minimize this Increase, peak discharges will be controlled by NURP ponds In
accordance with the requirements of the City of Plymouth and the Elm Creek Watershed District.
There are three drainage areas which will be disturbed. A NURP pond has been designed for
each drainage area. The NURP ponds have been designed to remove sediments and nutrients
from the runoff. Using methods and Information from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
the Twin Cltles Metropolitan Council, and various academic studies, sedimentation and nutrient
loading rates were established for the existing and developed conditions. Changes to the
quality of the runoff were analyzed using selected Indicator pollutants-suspended solids and
phosphorus--for the disturbed portions at the site (see Table 18-1). Results show that the existing
cropland and woodland generate an estimated 13~400 pounds of suspended solids and 14
pounds of phosphorus per year. Without NURP ponds, the proposed change In land cover would
still decrease the total suspended solid load but the total phosphorus load would Increase (see
Table 18-2). The addition of NURP ponds will dramatically reduce pollutants. The total
suspended solid load would be reduced to an estimated 550 pounds per year, a nearly 6-ton
(12,000 pound) reduction from current levels of sediment entering Elm Creek. The total
phosphorus load would be reduced by over 50 percent from current levels to an estimated 6
pounds per year.

from the proposed development will be routed through NURP ponds to reduce velocity and
pollutant loading. The discharge rate will be In accordance with the requirements of the CIN of
Plymouth and the Elm Creek Watershed District. Pollutant loading In Elm Creek will be reduced
as a consequence of the proposed project.
19.
Water Quality - Wastewaters
a. Describe sources, quantities, and composition (except for normal domestic sewage) of all
sanitary and industrial wastewaters produced or treated at the site.
Wastewaters produced at the site would Include normal domestic sewage, science laboratory
materials, waters from food service, and maintenance/cleaning materials. The majority of
wastewaters would come from ordinary domestic sewage. This would Include wastes from
lavatories, kitchen areas, home economics classrooms, etc. The domestic sewage generation at
the school's full capacity (around the year 2008 to 2010) has been estimated at 64,000 gallons
per day, based upon 3200 students at 20 gallons per student per day. (The 20 gallons per day
figure was obtained from Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services staff and takes Into account
school staff as well). During the opening year of 1997, enrollment Is expected to be 2350
students, so sewage generation is expected to be 47,000 gallons per day.
Science labs periodically use products which are acidic or alkaline. According to the chemistry
· Instructor, these products are diluted with water and flushed when they are disposed of.
Occasional experiments would yield less than two quarts per day.
Malntentance and cleaning processes also use highly alkaline products which are diluted with
water In the ready-to-use form. Floor scrubbing uses a neutral pH, non-phosphate floor cleaner,
and may produce 150 to 200 gallans per day of wastewater.
All toxic chemicals such as heavy metals and flammable wastes would be stored on site as
hazardous waste and would be disposed af-through the University af Minnesota Chemical Safety
Day Program. These waste streams have been Identified and are licensed through Hennepin
County.

'Community Development Director
LAND USE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR WAYZATA SENIOR
HIGH SCHOOL
DATE:
March 9, 1995 for the City Council Meeting of March 21, 1995
1. ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to adopt the attached resolution approving a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment to add
130 acres of the proposed 161-acre Wayzata High School site to the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area and reguide the entire site from LAR (Rural Density/Agricultural) to LA-1 (Low
Density Residential).
2. BACKGROUND:
The Wayzata School District is proposing to construct a 487,000 square foot high school to
serve 3,200 students in grades 9 through 12. In addition to the school building, the site would
contain a 4,800-seat athletic stadium, other athletic fields, the City,s-ninth playfield and
assochted parking.
In analyzing this plan amendment, staff focused on three key areas: a) land availability to
accommodate the project, b) relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan and e) anticipated
impact on infrastructure.
Land Availability
In order to accommodate its program, the District required a site of at least 70 acres. As
illustrated by the attached map outlining vacant land available in the City, at the time the
District was looking for an appropriate site, none of sufficient size remained within the City's
current urban service area. Although some larger sites are not yet developed, theses sites are
part of approved PUDs or plats or are controlled by developers in the process of platting.
As a consequence, the District had to look outside the current urban service area for a site
large enough to accommodate its needs. The site now proposed for the school is partially
within the MUSA, but the majority of the acreage is located adjacent to but outside the
MUSA. In addition, the entire site is guided LAR. In order for the District to build the new
high school, the City must add the entire site to the MUSA and reguide it for urban
development. Because a high school could be an acceptable use in the LA-1 District, staff is
recommending that the site be reguided to LA-1.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan
According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the high school site is located at the juncture of
three of the City's walking neighborhoods, approximately in the center of the Elm Creek
Driving Neighborhood (refer to attached map). The Comprehensive Plan states that a school
is an appropriate activity center for a driving neighborhood. The Plan notes that these centers
should be located at the junction of an arterial and collector street or another arterial. The site
meets this criteria. It would be located a the junction of two minor arterials, Peony Lane and
Schmidt Lake Road.
The Comprehensive Plan also indicates the need for park and recreation facilities in this area
of Plymouth. The proposed project would provide needed sports fields for community
recreation. Opportunities for trails and open space, which the Plan indicates are necessary, are
available within the portion of the site adjacent to and north of Ell Creek.
Anticipated Impact on Infrastructure
Staff has concluded that adding the proposed site to the MUSA and reguiding it for urban uses
would not adversely impact either the local or the regional street and highway system (refer to
attached traffic study). The City has anticipated eventual development of the affected portion
of the City and. has planned for the construction of two minor arterials, Peony Lane and
Schmidt Lake Road, to serve the area. Both will eventually be four-lane facilities. The traffic
study prepared for the environmental assessment worksheet for this project illustrates that there
is sufficient roadway capacity to serve the proposed school and full urban development of this
portion of the City. ·
Staff has also concluded that sufficient sanitary sewer and water capacity is available to serve
the proposed facility. The proposed high school at full development would generate about
64,000 gallons of sewage per day. In the short term (five years), this flow would mount to
50,000 gallons per day. The City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan shows an average daily flow
of almost 20,000 gallons for the portion of the site already within the MUSA. In addition, the
Plan shows an average doily flow of 108,000 gallons for the 72 acres immediately south of the
high school site. However, since the Plan was prepared, the City Council has reguided this
site from industrial to residential and it will act on a proposed llS-unit single family
development for this site in March. Projected flow from the 118 homes is 37,120 gallons per
day, 70,880 gallons per day less than the Plan shows. Overall, the projected flows from the
entire high school site and the area immediately south of the site are roughly 27,000 gallons
per day lower than the City's Sewer Plan provides for.
2
Because the City requires that the School District detain additional quantities of surface water
runoff that will be generated by this development and discharge the detained water at rates that
match the existing flow, staff has further concluded that the proposed project would not impact
the City's storm sewer system.
DISCUSSION:
At the Public Heating on March 8, 1995, the Planning Commission on 5 to 0 vote
recommended approval of the proposed Land Use Guide Plan Amendment. No one spoke at
the hearing. The City did receive one letter the day of the hearing. That letter is attached. At
the hearing, the Public Works Director responded to the possible flooding question raised in
the letter by stating that the School District will have to address both quantity and quality
standards for runoff from the new high school. With respect to quantity, the District will be
required to detain additional quantities of surface water and discharge it at rotes that match the
existing flow.
3. RECO~NDATION:
Community Development Department Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution
approving a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment to add 130 acres of the proposed 161-acre
Wayzata High School site to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and reguide the entire site
from LAR (Rural Density/Agricultural) to LA-1 (Low Density Residential) as recommended
by the Planning Commission.

Land Use Guide Plan Amendment for Wayzata Senior High School

I..AR (Rural Density/Agricultural)
ZONING:
FRD (Furore Restricted DevelopmenO
DESCRIFTION OF REQUEST:
The applicants are requesting approval of a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment to add 130 acres
of the proposed 161-acre Wayzata High School site to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA) and reguide the entire site from LAR (Rural Density/Agricultural) to LA-1 (Low
Density Residential).
Notice of this Public Heating has been published in the Official City Newspaper.
ANALYSIS:
A. Surrounding I. and Use and Zoning
Property located to the north, east and west of the high school site is zoned FRD (Furore
Restricted Development) and guided LAR. The property has been developed with scattered
homes and farm sites. In November 1994, the City Council reguided the property located
south of the Soo Line Railroad to LA-2 for a single family residential development. The City
Council will act on a rezoning and PUD preliminary plan/plat application for this property in
March. The Elm Creek Golf Course is located to the southwest of the school site.
B. Natural Characteristics of Site
The site is located in the Elm Creek Drainage District. It contains land within both the Flood
Plain and Shoreland Overlay Districts. The property includes City of Plymouth pending areas.
Wetlands on the site are protected under Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of
Engineers, State Wetland Conservation Act and City of Plymouth regulations. The site
contains large areas of significant woodlands and areas with Slopes in excess of 18 percent.
The slopes are generally in the vicinity of Elm Creek. The site contains some soils unsuitable
to urban development. The City's Physical Constraints Analysis indicates that there are some
areas on the site unsuitable to urban development. Those areas are primarily related to steep
slopes, wetlands and soil conditions. Most of this area would remain in a natural state
according to the Concept Plan proposed for the site.
C. Previous Actions Affecting Site
On January 3, 1995, the City Council approved a Residential Planned Unit Development
Concept Plan for the site. The Concept Plan was brought to the City Council ahead of any
other planning and development applications in order to facilitate discussions between the City
and the School District regarding the division of land on the site between the two ~ntities.
D. Land Use Guide Plan Amendment
The Wayzata School District is proposing to construct a 487,000 square foot high school to
serve 3,200 students in grades 9 through 12. In addition to the school building, the site would
contain a 4,800-seat atMefic stadium, other atMetic fields, the City's ninth playfield and
associated parking.
More than half of the land area of Plymouth falls under the jurisdiction of the Wayzata School
District. In addition, Plymouth contributes the largest land area of any of the communities
that make up the Wayzata School District. The present Wayzata High School is located at
Vicksburg Lane and Gleason Lake Road in the City of Plymouth. Plymouth is the only
community in the District with sufficient potential "urban" land to accommodate a new high
school. Wayzata and Minnetonka are fully developed. Medina is classified as a rural center by
the Metropolitan Council and furthermore, does not have sufficient sewer capacity for such a
facility. In addition, the affected area of Maple Grove is along the far no~daeru boundary of
the district.
In order to accommodate its program, the District required a site of at least 70 acres. As
illustrated by the attached map outlining vacant land available in the City, at the time the
District was looking for an appropriate site, none of sufficient size remained within the City's
current urban service area. Although some larger sites are not yet developed, theses sites are
part of approved PUDs or plats or are controlled by developers in the process of platting.
As a consequence, the District had to look.outside the current urban service area for a site
large enough to accommodate its needs. The site now proposed for the school is pa2rtially
within the MUSA, but the majority of the acreage is located adjacent to but outside the
MUSA. In addition, the entire site is guided LAR. In order for the District to build the new
high school, the City must add the entire site to the MUSA and reguide it for urban
development. Because a high school could be an acceptable use in the LA-1 District, staff is
recommending that the site be reguided to LA-1.
According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the high school site is located at the juncture of
three of the City's walking neighborhoods, approximately in the center of the Elm Creek
Driving Neighborhood (refer to attached map). The Comprehensive Plan states that a school
is an appropriate activity center for a driving neighborhood. The Plan notes that these centers
should be located at the junction of an arterial and collector street or another arterial. The site
meets this criteria. It would be located a the junction of two minor arterials, Peony Lane and
Schmidt l. ake Road.
The Comprehensive Plan also indicates the need for park and recreation facilities in this area
of ?lymouth. The proposed project would provide needed sports fields for community
recreation. Opportunities for trails and open space, which the Plan indicates are necessary, are
available within the portion of the site adjacent to and north of Elm Civ~ek.
Anticipated Impact of High School on Infrastructure
The City's Community Structure Concept as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan anticipated
the need for major community facilities such as the high school and playfield in appropriate
locations in Plymouth. As noted above, the proposed site does in fact meet the criteria
identified in the Plan. However, before concluding that a particular site should be designated
for a facility such as the high school and playfield, the City must also make sure that sufficient
infrastructure is or will be available to serve the facility.
Staff has concluded that adding the proposed site to the MUSA and reguiding it for urban uses
would not adversely impact either the local or the regional street and highway system (refer to
attached traffic study). The City has anticipated eventual development of the affected portion
of the City and has planned for the construction of two minor arterials, Peony Lane and
Schmidt lake Road, to serve the area. Both will eventually be four-lane facilities. The traffic
study prepared for the environmental assessment worksheet for this project illustrates that there
is sufficient roadway capacity to serve the proposed school and full urban development of this
portion of the City.
Staff has also concluded that sufficient sanitary sewer and water capacity is available to serve
the proposed facility. The proposed high school at full development would generate about
64,000 gallons of sewage per day. In the short term (five years), this flow would amount to
50,000 gallons per day. The City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan shows an average daily flow
of almost 20,000 gallons for the portion of the site already within the MUSA. In addition, the
Plan shows an average daily flow of 108,000 gallons for the 72 acres immediately south of the
high school site. However, since the Plan was prepared, the City Council has reguided this
site from industrial to residential and it will act on a proposed ll8-unit single family
development for this site in March. Projected flow from the 118 homes is 37,120 gallons per
day, 70,880 gallons per day less than the Plan shows. Overall, the projected flows from the
entire high school site and the area immediately south of the site are roughly 27,000 gallons
per day lower than the City's Sewer Plan provides for.
Because the City requires that the School District detain additional quantities of surface water
runoff that will be generated by this development and discharge the detained water at rates that
match the existing flow, staff has further concluded that the proposed project would not impact
the City's storm sewer system.
RECOMM~.NDATIONS:
Community Development Department Staff recommends adoption of the attached Resolution to
provide for the approval of a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment to add 130 acres to the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area and reguide 161 acres to LA-1 subject to the conditions in
the attached Resolution.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING REDUCTION OF LETTER OF CREDIT FOR FIVE
THOUSAND WINNETKA 2ND ADDITION
The City originally held a Letter of Credit in the mount of $193,350 on the Navarre
Corporation/Hoyt development known as Five Thousand Winnetka 2nd Ad.dition for the
installation of public improvements and on-site exterior amenities. This amount was held to
insure that specific improvements were made, including ponding/grading, storm sewer/sanitary
sewer, water main, installation of a shared drive and removal of existing drive, erosion control
and restoration, and landscaping. In September, 1994, the City Engineer and Building Official
inspected the property for completion of the improvements, reported that the majority of
improvements were completed, and recommended a reduction in the Letter of Credit from
$193,350 to $29,250. The Council approved the reduction at the September 26, 1994, Council
meeting.
The current Letter of Credit in the amount of $29,250 is due to expire on April 28th, therefore,
the Letter either needs to be extended, reduced or released. Upon completion of another
inspection of the property, the City Engineer and Building Official are recommending that the
Letter be extended, but that the amount be further reduced to $10,500.
The enclosed resolution approves said reduction and staff recommends approval of the
resolution.

b ,J -C i -XMENDINO THt EWHOPE LIQUOR CODE BY INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF AVAILABLE ON-SALE LICENSES AND INCREASING THE INITIAL
INVESTMENT FOR A RESTAURANT, CLASS ONE LICENSE
Per the direction from the City Council at the April 4th work session, the City Attorney has
prepared the enclosed ordinance amending the New Hope Liquor Code. The ordinance
specifically amends Sections 10.411 and 10.039. The amendments increase the number of
available on-sale licenses from three (3) to four (4) and increases the initial investment for a
Class One restaurant license from $850,000 to $1,000,000.
As you ara aware, the existing ordinance requires an investment of a minimum of $850,000
based upon 1987 construction costs and the ordinance states that the amount shall be
periodically adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in construction costs as reflected
in commonly accepted construction cost indices. Per the attached report from BCL Appraisals,
which references the Marshall Swift Cost Manual, the current cost should be 1.224 x $850,000
or $1,040,400. For practical purposes this investment figure has been rounded down to
$1,000,000.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEW HOPE
LIQUOR CODE BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
AVAILABLE ON-SALE LICENSES AND INCREASING THE INITIAL
INVESTMENT FOR A RESTAURANT, CLASS ONE LICENSE
The City Council of the City of New Hope ordains:
Section 1. Section 10.411 "Number of On Sale Licenses" of the
New Hope City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
10.411
Number of On Sale Licenses. The maximum number of o'n
sa]e intoxicating liquor licenses which sha]l be issued
by the City is thr;; four. On Sale Wine Licenses shall
be limited to the number of qualifying restaurants as
defined in Section 10,02.
Section 2. Section 10.039(1)(a) "Initial Investment" of the
New Hope City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
(a)
Initial Investment. An applicant for a "Restaurant,
Class One", license must initially invest or propose to
invest in the business a minimum of,~v,v~v.v~'""~ ~ ~
$1,000,000.00, excluding land costs but including all
fees, site development, utilities, furnishings, fixtures
and construction costs based upon -1-9~ 1995 construction
costs. The required amount shall be periodically
adjusted upward or downward by amendment to this section
to reflect changes in construction costs as reflected in
commonly accepted construction cost indices. In the case
of multi-purpose building such as shopping centers,
motels, hotels, and the like, only that portion of the
building directly attributable to the preparation,
handling, storing or serving of food and liquor shall be

In the event that a license is proposed for an existing
structure, the fair market value for real. estate tax
purposes, exclusive of land value, as determined by the
City Assessor in the year the license is first issued,
may be used in place of construction costs in determining
whether the initial investment requirement has been
satisfied. An applicant holding a leasehold interest in
property may also use the fair market value of the
property for real estate tax purposes as determined by
the City Assessor in the year the license is first issued
for determining whether the initial investment
requirement has been satisfied. The Council may provide
for an independent appraisal at applicant's expense, as
an aid in determining the value of said premises. In the
event this requirement as to investment is not complied
with within one year from the date of issuance of the
license, the license may be revoked or suspended.

MOTION APPROVING LEASE BETWEEN ~HOENIX MANUFACTURING CORPORATION AND
THE EDA AND APPROVING A MUTUAL RELEASE BETWEEN FOREMOST, INC. AND THE
_ EDA (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. NO. 474)
The following two documents have been prepared by the City Attorney for consideration by the EDA:
1. A new lease between Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation and the EDA
2. A Mutual Release between Foremost, Inc. and the EDA
EDA approval for both documents is necessary and the City Attorney has indicated that a combined
motion for each action is acceptable.
In the attached letter the City Attorney summarizes what has transpired since the EDA last considered
this matter on March 27th. This lease is between the EDA and Phoenix Manufacturing, the owner of
the Foremost, Inc. assets. The major points of the lease include:
- lease period extends from 4/24/95 through 12/31/95 with no renewal option.
- lease rental of $20,020 (amount of 1995 real estate taxes) due on commencement date of lease.
- Phoenix Manufacturing to pay all operating expenses of building (insurance, maintenance,
utilities) and to correct any substandard building conditions.
- if lessee holds over after lease termination date, they will pay month to month rental with the
payment being equal to 1/12 of the current lease rent.
Hennepin County will classify the property as tax exempt for real estate taxes payable in 1996, however
if Phoenix extends its occupancy of the building into 1996, the City will pay the County a portion of
the rental received in lieu of taxes.
The release will terminate the foremost Lease prior to the 7/19/95 lease termination date, which will
allow the EDA to enter into a new lease with Phoenix Manufacturing. In consideration for the release,
the EDA would not pursue Foremost for the 1995 unpaid rent and Foremost will waive any and all
claims it has against the EDA connected with the ownership of the Foremost site. There will be no loss
to the EDA with this arrangement because Phoenix Manufacturing will be paying F0remost's unpaid
rental payment as part of their base rent under the new lease.
Staff recommends approval of a motion by the EDA approving both the new lease and the mutual
release.

RE:
Foremost Property/Lease to Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation
Our File No. 99.11090
Dear Kirk:
Please find enclosed for consideration at the April 24, 1995
Council meeting the following documents:
A new Lease between Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation and
the EDA.
A Mutual Release between Foremost, Inc. and the EDA.
We need EDA approval for both documents.
each is acceptable.
A combined motion for
I will attempt to summarize what has transpired since the EDA last
considered this matter. Basically, Bill Marceau from Northland
Financial appeared before the EDA at its meeting on March 27, 1995.
Mr. Marceau represented to the EDA he was acting on behalf of
Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation to arrange an asset purchase of
the Foremost assets between the First National Bank of Glencoe and
Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation. Foremost's lease with the City
would constitute part of those assets.
The purchase arrangement involves the First National Bank of
Glencoe due to a replevin order said bank obtained against
Foremost, Inc. Foremost gave the bank a security interest in its
personal property as collateral on a loan. When a default occurred
on the loan, the First National Bank of Glencoe moved against the
personal assets of Foremost acquiring title to the asset~ in lieu
of the loan repayment.
Kirk McDonald
April 19, 1995
Page 2
Apparently, the relationships between Phoenix Manufacturing
Corporation, Northland Financial and Foremost., Inc. have completely
broken down since the March 27th meeting. It is my understanding
Bill Marceau is totally detached from the transaction. As .you
know, we are now dealing directly with the owner of Phoenix
Manufacturing Corporation, Tom Giebel. Mr. Giebel has purchased
directly from the First National Bank of Glencoe all personal
assets of Foremost, Inc. Mr. Giebel has also informed us that
Allen Fredendall will have no further involvement with any ongoing
business at the former Foremost property.
As a result, Mr. Giebel is looking to the EDA for a new lease on
the property through the end of 1995.
The enclosed Lease document constitutes the agreement we recommend
between the EDA and Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation. The main
points it requires are as follows:
The lease term runs from April 24, 1995 through December
31, 1995. At this time the lease automatically
terminates with no renewal option.
The base rental is $20,020.00. Said amount constitutes
the 1995 real estate taxes levied against the property.
The entire rental payment is due on the commencement date
of the lease, April 24, 1995.
The lessee, Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation, will pay
all other operatin9 expenses for the building such as all
public and private utility expenses, insurance premiums
and maintenance costs. The lessee agrees all substandard
condit.ions of the building will be brought up to minimum
code requirements at the lessee's expense. The EDA will
also be named as a loss payee on all insurance policies.
If the lessee holds over after the lease termination
date, our arrangement will revert to a month-to-month
rental arrangement with the monthly rental payment equal
to 1/12 of the current base rent.
The other terms of the lease are boiler plate to a standard
commercial lease. If you need an explanation of any other terms,
please let me know and I will respond accordingly.

-There are two issues which may need to be included in the lease
that are absent from the document enclosed. An indemnification and
hold harmless clause for hazardous substances and contamination
should be inserted in the lease protecting the EDA from. exposure
based on a possible use of the property that could cause such a
problem. I have no reason to believe Phoenix Manufacturing
Corporation deals with hazardous substances, therefore I doubt the
inclusion of this clause will be a problem for it. Also, Giebel
asked me about a reclamation provision which would allow them to
"gut" the building of any moveable fixtures or equipment upon the
lease termination. We provided this right to Foremost in our
previous lease, but it is not included in the enclosed document.
Mr. Giebel has questiOned me about the inclusion of such a
provision. I informed him the EDA may be agreeable if it is still
our intent to demolish this building after the lease termination.
Of course, such a right would be agreeable only if it did not
increase demolition costs. This provision should be discussed at
the April 24 EDA meeting.
Regarding the mutual release with Foremost, Inc., we are in the
process of obtaining a signed release. It is currently being
reviewed by Foremost's attorney. Basically, the release will
terminate the Foremost Lease prior to the duly 19, 1995 lease
termination date. This will allow us to enter into a new lease
with Phoenix Manufacturing Corporation. In consideration for the
release, the EDA will not pursue Foremost for the 1995 unpaid rent.
This would be equal to $10,010.00. In further consideration for
our waiver of the rental payment, Foremost will also waive any and
all claims it has against the EDA or City connected with its
ownership of the Foremost property. This includes all claims
relative to contamination of the Foremost site by the adjacent
Electronic Industries property. The release and waiver of the
rental payment will essentially be a financial "wash" because
Phoenix Manufacturing will be paying Foremost's unpaid rental
payment as part of their base rent under the new lease.
I have also spoken with Tom May from the Hennepin County Assessor's
Office concernin9 the 1996 tax status for the property. I have
made arrangements for the property to be classified as tax-exempt
for real estate taxes payable in 1996. However, if Phoenix
Manufacturing Corporation extends its occupancy of the building
into the next year as a month-to-month tenancy, we will have to pay
the County a portion of the rental received from Phoenix
Corporation in lieu of taxes. I am working on receiving a letter
Kirk McDonald

from the County Assessor's Office establishing this relationship
for the property. Hopefully I will be able to. have that letter by
the April 24 meeting.
If you have any questions concerning this matter after reviewing
this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Steven A. Sondral

DISCUSSION REGARDING REQUEST BY/UNIVERSAL COLOR, INC. FOR GAP FINANCING
LOAN FOR ACQUISITION OF/IMPROVEMENTS TO KUPPENHEIMER BUILDING, 7700 42ND
AVENUE NORTH
The owners of Universal Color, Inc. will be present at the April 24th EDA meeting to request
consideration for a gap financing loan for the acquisitiOn of the Kuppenheimer Building located at 7700
42nd Avenue North and related building improvements. Universal Color, Inc. has been located in New
Hope for 15 years and is presently leasing space at the Autohaus site at 7709 42nd Avenue. Universal
Color has been trying to locate a suitable building for purchase in New Hope along 42nd Avenue for
the last several years. The Kuppenheimer business is located directly across 42nd Avenue (north) from
the Autohaus/Universal Color site and Kuppenheimer has determined that they will not be renewing their
lease with the owner of the building, which expires at the end of July, 1995. Universal's lease with
Autohaus expires on November 30, 1995, and Autohaus has indicated they do not wish to extend the
lease. Therefore, Universal Color is pursuing acquisition of the Kuppenheimer building so that they
can remain in New Hope where their customer base is established.
Per the enclosed letter, Universal Color has negotiated a purchase agreement and has obtained a bank
commitment, as well as a commitment for the SBA (Small Business Administration) portion of the loan.
However, the SBA loan program is limited to providing financing for up to 90 % of the appraised value
of the property and the building improvements necessary do not add to the appraised value of the
building. The total use of funds (for land/building acquisition, building improvements, equipment
purchase, etc) are $764,250. However, with the bank and SBA commitments and owners equity of
$75,600, a gap of $140,000 in the source of funds remains. This is the loan amount Universal Color
is requesting that the EDA consider. (The EDA provided Autohaus a $187,500 loan in 1991, and over
3/4 of that loan has now been repaid.)
One benefit to the City if Universal Color completed the acquisition would be additional employment,
as they would add five new full-time positions in the next two years. A future planned improvement
to the building would be a drive-up window for photo drop off/pick up. The acquisition would eliminate
the possibility of a vacant building on 42nd Avenue and the move would also allow Autohaus to
complete their improvements to the from of their property, as originally planned.

RE: UNIVERSAL COLOR, INC.
Dear Messrs. Donahue and McDonald:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with us recently to discuss our proposed
acquisition of the Kuppenheimer building located at 7700 - 42nd Avenue North.
We intend to purchase this property and relocate our business into this facility.
We have made a great deal of progress toward completing the purchase. A
purchase agreement has been negotiated, we have obtained a commitment from
our bank and we have'a commitment from the Certified Development Company
for the SBA portion of the loan. The problem we have encountered has been
with the appraised value of the property in that it is not sufficient to support the
amount of financing needed to complete the project under the SBA 504 loan
program.
The SBA 504 loan program is limited to providing financing for up to 90
percent of the appraised value of the property. The improvements required to
make the building suitable for Universal's business are significant on a cost
basis, but do not necessarily add to the appraised value of the building.
Therefore, we are requesting a loan from the New Hope Economic
Development Authority which will help bridge the "gap" in the financing
structure. We are requesting a loan in the amount of $140,000 to be amortized
over 20 years with a ten year balloon. To demonstrate Universal's commitment
to the project, we as owners are contributing $75,000 on a personal basis and
are also pledging all other assets of the corporation as additional security for the
loan.

Universal Color has been a corporate resident of New Hope for the last .15
years. It is a clean business and one that provides a valuable service to both the
consumers and other businesses in the City and the surrounding area. Universal
Color currently has 12 full-time employees. As a result of this project, we
anticipate adding 5 full-time positions within the next two years. As a part of
the building improvements, Universal is proposing to add a drive-up window
for customers to use when dropping off or picking up film. This feature will
benefi't disabled and elderly citizens as well as parents with children and the
general public.
In addition to the items listed above, there are other advantages for the
community associated with the completion of this project. With Universal
Coldr moving out of the Autohaus building, the owner of that building will then
have the ability to complete the renovation of its property according to its
obligation to the City. Also, the tenant of the subject property (Kuppenheimer)
has a lease on the property through July of 1995. They have already indicated
to the owner of the building that they do not intend to renew that lease.
Therefore, if this project is not completed there would be a vacant building in
an area of high visibility in the City.
Universal Color's lease expires on November 30, 1995. Autohaus has indicated
that it does not wish to extend the lease. We have been looking for a new Site
within the City of New Hope for the last five years and have not been able to
find a building suitable for our needs until this building became available.
Taking both of these situations into consideration, we would probably have to
look outside of New Hope if We are not able to buy the Kuppenheimer building.
This is not what we want to do (which is indicated by the amount of time we
have waited for a New Hope location) because our customer base is es~tablished
in this area and it would hurt our business to move out of the area.

We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request. Time is of the
essence in that the closing date is May 31, 1995. We did not approach the
EDA sooner because this funding gap did not arise until we recently receix)ed
the appraisal. We will be available at the meeting of the Economic
Development Authority on Monday, April 24th. Please let me know if we can
provide any additional information prior to that meeting.

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
First Quarter 1995 Report
City Council Synopsis
Undoubtedly, the most important planning/zoning matter considered during the first quarter
continued to be the construction of an athletic field complex at Cooper High School. The
City Council passed a resolution approving the revised Conditions of Approval at the March
13th Council meeting and also awarded the contract for the construction of the street parking
lot improvements. The City and School District will be working cooperatively together
throughout the spring/summer to get this improvement accomplished.
Another planning/zoning issue that was researched during the first quarter was the study of
commercial recreational facilities in response to the moratorium ordinance that was approved
during the fourth quarter of 1994. The Codes & Standards Committee, Planning Consultant
and staff reviewed ordinances/regulations in a number of metro area communities and
reached a consensus on their recommendations to the Planning Commission. The City
Attorney prepared a draft ordinance incorporating these recommendations and the ordinance
will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in April. The moratorium
expires at the end of May.
The major economic development issue/program undertaken during the first quarter was the
initiation of the "Shop New Hope" promotion. The program was undertaken to assist retail
businesses in the City and to educate residents about shopping opportunities in New Hope.
A steering committee composed of shopping center owners/managers, local banks and major
free-standing businesses was formed to formulate the program. Key Group Advertising was
hired to assist with the promotion and the Mayor and City Council members are taking a very
active role in spear heading the campaign. A City-wide kick-off event for all New Hope
retailers will be held at the end of April and the 5-week campaign will last from mid-June and
end at the Duk Duk Daze fireworks display. Already the organizing of this event has greatly
enhanced the communication between the City Hall and local retailers.

~iiii~i!i!i!~iiiili~i~ii~- The City of New Hope requested
approval of the Preliminary Plat of Marky Addition to subdivide the parcel into two lots to
accommodate the construction of a zero lot line handicapped accessible twin home. The
Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission and City Council in January
subject to several conditions. One condition was that the lot lines be revised to provide for a
68-foot wide lot on the east and a 60-foot wide lot on the west to provide a greater setback
from Winnetka Avenue. The Final Plat was approved by the City Council at the February 13th
meeting.
g~ii~i~ - At the January 3rd Planning Commission meeting, the following officers
were elected:
Chairman, Bob Gundershaug
Vice-Chairman, Bill Sonsin
Third Officer, Sharon Casson
The City Council honored Robert Cameron, past Chair of the Planning Commission, at a
February City Council meeting. Cameron resigned as Planning Commission Chairman in
December after 21 years of service on the Commission.
Commission and City Council approved a conditional use permit to allow a commercial
recreational facility (karate school) at Winnetka Center at their meetings on February 7th and
13th, respectively.
..
February 7th Planning Commission meeting, a conditional use permit was approved to allow

a convenience food/gourmet coffee shop/deli at Midland Shopping Center, 2737 Winnetka
Avenue North with the condition that the petitioner submit a revised plan prior to the Council
meeting to allow for direct public access to the restroom. The City Council approved this
request at their February 13th meeting.
~iiii~ii~!~iiiii~[i!ii!~!~~iiii~~ - The City Council passed a resolution approving
revised Conditions of Approval on March 13th. The revisions included adding language to
indicate that no exclusive Armstrong High School events be allowed at Cooper and all
references to the Site Improvement & Development Agreement and financial guarantee were
removed since improvements are not being made by the School District in the right-of-way.
~iii~~ - At the March 13th Council meeting, the City Council again approved the
rezoning of the property from an I-1, Limited Industrial, Zoning District to an R-l, Single
Family Residential, Zoning District for purposes of constructing a single family home on a
vacant parcel. The Planning Commission and City Council had approved a similar request in
1994, but the rezoning had not been published due to the fact that construction had not been
initiated.
~iiiii~iiii~~iiiiii~- On March 13th the City Council appointed James
Damiani to the Planning Commission for a three-year term.. The new appointment was made
due to the resignation of several commissioners at the end of 1994.
~iii~ii~~ - There was discussion at the February 13th City Council meeting
regarding the potential for future housing redevelopment in the Bass Lake Road Extension area
located between St. Raphael's Catholic Church and Sumter Avenue and between 55th Avenue
and Bass Lake Road. Several property owners have inquired about the City's interest in
purchasing their property and there is a need for improved access for emergency vehicles. The
City Council directed staff to explore redevelopment possibilities and financing options for this
area. During February/March City staff, the City Engineer and Planning Consultant prepared
a report and options for possible redevelopment. A neighborhood meeting will be held in May
and staff will report back to the City Council.
iii~ii~ii!i~iiii~ - At the March 13th EDA meeting, the EDA discussed the
"Shop New Hope" promotion to be conducted this summer in conjunction with Dulc Duk Daze.
The idea behind the promotion is to help retail businesses City-wide. City staff met with Key
Group Advertising, Inc. to discuss the promotion idea. A steering committee was formed and
included shopping center owners/managers and some free-standing merchants, along with City
staff, the Mayor and one Councilmember. This committee met on March 24th to brain-storm
ideas for the promotion. An update was given at the March 27th EDA meeting on what was
discussed by the steering committee and it was pointed out that the shopping center owners are
willing to contribute funding for the promotion. A City-wide kick-off event will be held in
April.
~~iii~ii-In March, Foremost, Inc. went out of business and the staff and EDA
discussed various leasing options with the frans that acquired the assets of Foremost.
~~i~~~ii~!i~~ ' In March the City received a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment from the City of Plymouth/Metropolitan Council and this issue will be
reviewed by the Planning Commission in April.

study and finalized their recommendations regarding billiard halls/commercial recreational
facilities in the City. The City Attorney drafted an ordinance incorporating these
recommendations, which will be reviewed by the Commission and City Council in April.
~!~!iii!~- During the first quarter, staff was informed that Universal Color Lab, Inc. will
be pursuing the purchase of the Kuppenheimer Building on 42nd Avenue. Staff cooperated
with Color Lab on a variety of issues, including a possible furore drive-thru area, street/
· easement issues, and a request to the EDA for a gap financing loan.
~i?~g~i~iii~ - During the first quarter, staff continued to facilitate the CCI
project on Quebec Avenue. Work continued on title work for the closing and staff initiated
work on the platting of the property. CCI will be moving into the rehabilitated building in
April.
~~i!ii~~ii!i!~- During the first quarter, staff continued to participate in the
Business Retention Program. A total of 377 New Hope businesses were surveyed during 1993
and 1994. There were no "Red Flags" during the first quarter because all the surveys were
completed during the fourth quarter of 1994.
During the first quarter staff has continued to update the list of available vacant land and
buildings in the City. The purpose of maintaining a current vacant land/building listing is to
provide more accurate information to businesses/industries wanting to locate in New Hope.
Now that the surveys of New Hope businesses have been completed, cities involved in the
Business Retention Program are looking at Phase II, which will consist of four general areas:
Survey new businesses as they move into the area.
Establish a summer youth program.
Develop a clearing house between participating cities.
Establish improved training programs at local colleges and vo-techs.
Both a summary of Phase I Phase II and will be reviewed by the Executive Committee in
April 1995.

First Quarter Report .. City Council Synopsis
During the first quarter the City continued work on a number of housing and redevelopment
activities. The site located at 7901/7909 51st Avenue North has been c/eared and is ready
to be developed. During the first quarter the site was platted and plans and specifications were
approved. Staff went out for bids in February and expect to approve a builder in April. /n
addition, one unit has been sold and staff is advertising the other unit in local newspapers and
papers that target the disabled population.
The house located at 7109 62nd Avenue North has been rehabilitated and was put up for sale
in October for $59,900. Applications were accepted from first-time home buyers interested in
purchasing the property and a lottery was conducted in November to determine the buyer. The
lottery winner was Daren Mattson, a New Hope resident. The City closed on the property on
January 25, 1995.
The property at 6073 Louisiana Avenue North, which adjoins 7109 62nd Avenue North at the
southern property line, will probably be developed sometime in 1995. Staff is discussing
developing a three bedroom handicap accessible twin home on the property. In addition, the
City has applied for a Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Aqthority Housing
Assistance Loan in the amount of $125,000 to help finance construction of the twin home. Staff
is also looking at other blighted properties throughout New Hope that could be purchased,
rehabilitated, and sold to Iow/moderate income families.
A variety of other housing-related projects were also continued during the first quarter. The
management of the Section 8 Program continued and the City submitted an application for the
Minnesota NAHRO Educational Scholarship Program. Staff also participated in the 1995
5-City Remodeling Fair, in conjunction with the City of Crystal. New Hope coordinated all
booth registrations and expense disbursements. This event was held on March 25th and was
highly successful with a number of residents in attendance. Staff also continued to actively
participate in a number of CO-OP Northwest housing activities. The selection of new staff for
the CHODO was completed with the selection of PPL, with input from the 5 participating cities.
Staff continued to work on the federally funded HOME projects in the City and prepared a 1995
grant application. Lastly, planning was initiated for a Renters Rights 8, Responsibilities
Workshop to be conducted in May.
The first quarter was a busy and successful one for the City of New Hope in housing and
redevelopment activities.

Minnesota NAHRO Education Scholarship Program
In December, the City initiated participation in the 1995 Minnesota NAHRO Education Scholarship
Award. The Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials has
established an education scholarship to assist lower income individuals with post-secondary educational
expenses. To qualify, the applicant must be a resident of a housing unit or be a participant in a rent
assistance program. The applicant's annual household income must be at or below 50% of the area
median income as determined by HUD. Individual scholarship awards of $500 per year for two years
are available. The City has primary responsibility for promoting the program, taking/verifying
applications, and sponsoring an applicant. The City solicited applications from persons the City feels
would be good candidates for the program. During the first quarter, the City received an application and
submitted it to Minnesota NAHRO for consideration. The scholarship awards will be announced during
the second quarter. This will be the second year the City has participated in the program.
Community_ Development Block Grant Program
Housing Rehabilitation Program -- Hennepin County manages the Housing Rehabilitation Program for
the City and maintains a waiting list. The funds assist low income persons in making basic repairs to
homes that they own. Currently there are two residential households in the process of being assisted, one
being rehabilitated and one on the waiting list. At this time all Year XVHI (1992/93) funds have been
expended. Approximately $27,527 in funds has been expended or committed from Year XIX (1993/94)
and $23,400 out of $26,400 has been committed from Year XX (1994/95) funds.
Year XXI CDBG Funds -- During the first quarter, the City Council conducted the annual CDBG Public
Hearing and staff submitted Year XXI Urban Hennepin County CDBG program statements. New Hope
was allocated $182,816 for Year XXI and the funds were allocated as follows:
Activity
Child Day Care

The City has also received $155,320 in program income that can be reprogrammed into other activities.
The additional program income was generated by the Petro Fund reimbursement for contaminated soils
clean-up at 42nd & Nevada Avenues and from scattered site rehabilitation funds from the project at 7109
62nd Avenue North. Of these funds, $30,000 has been designated to close out Phase I of the City Hall
Remodeling Project (removal of architectural barriers) and $125,344 has been allocated for additional
Scattered Site Housing activities.
Scattered Site Housing Proiects
During the first quarter the City continued to pursue several projects that will be funded by CDBG,
MHFA, HOME, EDA and City funds. Projects that use these funds include the following:
7901/7909 51st Avenue North -- During the fourth quarter of 1994, the City sought bids for an
architect/designer for a twin home to be built at 7901/7909 51st Avenue North. Equal Access Homes
was the low bid at $1,870. The City worked with Equal Access Homes to develop a design that was
accessible to people with disabilities. The outcome was a twin home design that would be slab on
grade construction, have two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, dining room, living room, utility
room, and oversized garage. During the January 9, 1995 EDA meeting, the EDA approved the plans
and specifications and ordered an advertisement for bids for the construction of the handicap
accessible twin home.
Also on January 9, the New Hope City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Marky Addition
located at 7901/7909 51st Avenue North. The final plat was approved on February 13, 1995.
With the approval of the plat and the plans and specs, staff put together a bid package for construction
of the twin home. A bid opening was held on February 23. The results of the bids varied widely
due to confusion over sewer and water work that needed to be done as part of the construction
project. Because of this, the City decided to re-bid the project without the sewer and water work.
The sewer and water portion was bid out separately. The City Council rejected the bids and
authorized re-advertisement with revised specifications on March 13th. The re-bid package was
distributed the middle of March. The re-bid opening is scheduled for April 4, 1995.
During the fourth quarter of 1994 the City worked with Thompson Associates on the sale of the twin
homes to individuals with disabilities. Numerous applications were received with three individuals
determined to be eligible to purchase the homes. Of these, only one applicant decided to purchase
one of the units. The City signed a purchase agreement with this individual on March 8, 1995. The
EDA held a public hearing on the sale of the unit on March 27th, but tabled the action until new bids
were received. Staff are currently marketing the other half of the twin home in local papers and in
newspapers that target the disabled population.
The EDA also approved Declaration of Covenants for the twin home at their February 27th meeting
and approved minor revisions to the covenants at their March 27th meeting.
7109 62nd Avenue North -- The sale of this property was completed on January 25, 1995, to first-
time homebuyer Daren Mattson. After Mr. Mattson moved into the property problems with the water
heater and sewer back-up occurred. In response, the City replaced the water heater and paid for half
of the sewer main clean-up.
6073 Louisiana Avenue North -- During the first quarter, staff has been working on a budget for the
proposed construction of a three bedroom handicap accessible twin home proposed to be built at 6073
Louisiana Avenue North. This project would be funded through HOME, CDBG, and EDA funds.
The City received additional HOME funding for this project from the CHODO during the first
quarter. In addition, the City applied for a Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Housing Assistance Loan in the amount of $125,000. The Housing Assistance Loan would
be applied toward the construction of the twin home and paid back at the time of sale. Staff will
present the three bedroom handicap accessible twin home concept to the City Council during the
second quarter of 1995.
CareBreak Facility -- The New Hope EDA acquired 5501 Boone Avenue North and the northern 75
feet on 5425 Boone Avenue North through the eminent domain/condemnation process, to facilitate
the construction of the CareBreak Adult Day Care Center to be operated by Senior Outreach Services.
At the present time the New Hope EDA owns a portion of 5425 Boone Avenue North and is
proceeding in an ongoing condemnation action for 5501 Boone Avenue North.
Because CareBreak has shown interest in purchasing the Homeward Bound site at 4741 Zealand
Avenue North the City has put the project at 5501/5425 Boone on hold. CareBreak has indicated they
will be seeking a rezoning and CUP to allow the Adult Day Care Center to locate at the Homeward
Bound site and staff has initiated an environmental review of that site. The City has designated
$100,000 (approximately $33,000 per year for three years) in CDBG funds for a future CareBreak
facility. These funds need to be expended or reprogrammed by July 1, 1995.
Conversion of a Fourplex or Sixplex to Group Home Facilities - During the first quarter, staff have
been touring group homes within the northwest suburbs as part of a study to determine the feasibility
of developing a small group home for the severely handicapped or the developmentally disabled. This
project would be funded using HOME and EDA funds. Staff has spoken with three agencies:
Spectrum Community Mental Health, Hammer Residences, and Breckinridge House about
participating in a joint project with the City. A 1995 HOME application for funding has been
submitted for this project. The City is looking at two sites for the project: 7621 62nd Avenue North
and 7300/7316 Bass Lake Road. The project would require purchase and conversion of a fourplex
or sixplex apartment building. The service provider or the CHODO would have to own the property
after the rehabilitation has been completed.
Purchase and Rehabilitation of Two Single Family Homes -- During the past few months staff have
been surveying New Hope neighborhoods looking for two homes that are in severe need of
rehabilitation. Once two homes have been located, staff will purchase, rehabilitate, and sell them to
low or moderate income families. The project will be funded through HOME, CDBG, and EDA
funds. In addition, the City has applied for a Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Housing Assistance Loan in the amount of $120,000. The Housing Assistance Loan would
be applied toward the purchase and rehabilitation of the homes and paid back at the time of sale.
Other Housing Grants/Programs
1. Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Authority Housing Assistance Loan -- On
February 9, the City submitted two Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Housing Assistance Loan applications. One application was for $125,000 for the construction of a
three bedroom handicap accessible twin home to be constructed at 6073 Louisiana Avenue North. The
second application was for $120,000 for the purchase and rehabilitation of two homes that would be
resold to low income families after rehabilitation had been completed. The Housing Assistance Loans
are zero interest and must be repaid when the sale of the units are complete.
2. Community Activity Set-Aside (CASA) Program -- The CHODO has recently been made the
designee of $1 million in mortgage revenue bonds through the MHFA Community Activity Set-Aside
(CASA) Program. CASA funds can be used to provide first-time homebuyer mortgages to low and
moderate income people that are purchasing homes through the CHODO. Marquette Bank New Hope
is the designated lender for the mortgage revenue funds. The interest rate for the funds are 6.85 %
and are the exclusive use of the CHODO for period of nine months.
3. MHFA Minnesota City Participation Program
The MCPP is a program through the MHFA in which the MHFA sells mortgage revenue bonds on
behalf of participating cities to meet locally identified housing needs. The proceeds from the bonds
provide below-market interest rate mortgage loans for low and moderate income first-time home
buyers. The MCPP is a six month program that began on July 7, 1994, and ran for six months.
During the first six months, participating cities have exclusive use of their individual allotment.
During the final two months, the individual allotments go into a statewide pool that is available to all
MCPP participating cities. In 1994 the City received $849,000 with an interest rate of 7.3%.
In November 1994 any funds remaining from the City's allotment were rolled into a State wide pool.
This pool was available to all cities participating in the Minnesota City Participation Program.
The City plans to participate in the program again in 1995. It is possible that the program will not
be continued in 1995, therefore staff will review and apply for similar programs as they become
available.
4. CO-OP Northwest
1993 HOME Grant -- During the fall of 1993, staff was notified that Hennepin County had approved
a $274,100 5-City grant application for Federal HOME funds. New Hope, will utilize $40,000 worth
of HOME funds, in conjunction with other grant moneys, to acquire and build a handicap accessible
twin home at 7901/7909 51st Avenue North.
On February 2, 1995, the City presented the CHODO Board of Directors with a request for $57,500
for the construction of a three bedroom handicap accessible twin home to be built at 6073 Louisiana
Avenue North and to purchase/rehabilitate one blighted single family home to sell to low income
buyers. This request, along with requests from Crystal, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Park will use up
the remaining 1993 HOME funds.
1995 HOME Grant -- During the first quarter of 1995 the CHODO hired Project for Pride in Living
(PPL) to act as coordinator for the 1995 HOME grant. PPL will visit the five cities and discuss future
CHODO projects. PPL will then complete and submit the 1995 HOME application to Hennepin
County. New Hope is interested in converting a four or sixplex into housing for the disabled and
purchasing, rehabilitating, and selling single family homes to low/moderate income first-time
homebuyers.
5-City Multi-Jurisdictional Housing/Human Services Group -- Staff continues to participate in
groups that seek out programs to integrate human services with multi-family housing complexes.
Seven action groups have been formed and staff serves on the Planners' Sub-Group and the Housing
and Human Services Group. Besides serving on these groups, staff reports to/attends Executive
Committee meetings. These groups meet on an informal basis to coordinate housing programs, the
annual remodeling fair, the Renters Rights' Forum, and other new initiatives.
5. Habitat for Humanity
The City is interested in having Habitat for Humanity construct a home or homes in New Hope. In
July 1994, the City presented three vacant, tax forfeited properties located at 4003-4015 Oregon to
Habitat for Humanity for their inspection. Habitat for Humanity reviewed these lots, but decided not
to initiate any construction activities in the Northwest suburbs in either 1994 or 1995.
Multi-Family Housing Financial Assistance Policies
In September 1994, the EDA approved a Multi-Family Housing Financial Assistance Policy to address
requests for funding assistance for building rehabilitation/renovation work from owners of multi-family
dwellings in the City. In February 1994, a loan proposal was approved for New Hope Apartments (four
12-unit buildings) for $200,000 in rehab work. The closing on the loan was completed in June and the
renovation work was started in July. A substantial amount of work was completed during the third and
fourth quarters and several payment requests were approved, subject to recommendations from the
Inspections Department. At the November 14th EDA meeting, the EDA approved an additional $20,000
loan to cover additional unanticipated expenses including a new fire alarm system. Staff has been pleased
with the cooperation of the owners and the overall execution of the rehabilitation project. This project
should be completed in the spring of 1995 and staff is interested in undertaking a similar project at
another multi-family housing complex in 1995.
Broadway Village Apartments Community Center and Lighting Improvements Project
This project continued throughout the fourth quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, with a majority
of the work being completed and several pay requests being processed after review of the work by the
Inspections Department. This project will be finalized/completed in the second quarter. Staff attended
the grand opening of the Community Center in March.
1995 Remodeling Fair
A great deal of staff time was spent during the first quarter in preparation for the 1995 5-City Remodeling
Fair. At the January 9th City Council meeting, resolutions were passed approving agreements with
Events of Distinction to assist with the Remodeling Fair workshops and door prizes and with Convention
Services, Inc. to provide booths for the Remodeling Fair participants. New Hope coordinated the
registration process and the disbursements for all expenses. The Fair was conducted on March 25th at
the Crystal Community Center and was well attended. This was the third year of the event.

First Quarter 1995 Report
City Council Synopsis
Three major construction projects that will take place in 1995 required a great deal of staff time and City
Council attention during the first quarter:
1. In January the pre-construction meeting was held for the $$th Avenue Railroad Bridge and Phase
I of the Street Reconstruction Project. The bridge was constructed 1925 and is in need of major
repair, with the major deficiency being the safety hazard posed by the inadequate roadway width
between the existing concrete piers. Phase I of the project will include construction of a new railroad
bridge and street/utility work approximately 250 feet either side of the bridge, The span between the
new bridge abutments will be 70 feet and will accommodate a 48-foot wide roadway, a 5-foot wide
sidewalk on each side and a 6-foot wide boulevard. A project bulletin was sent to all residents and
businesses in the area in February and construction was started at the end of March.
2. Ail reports and agreements were approved for the Cooper High School Street and Parking Lot
Improvements during the first quarter. In January the Feasibility Report was accepted, plans and
specifications were approved, advertisement for bids were ordered and the public hearing was
scheduled. In February the public hearing was held and favorable bids were received. In March after
receiving a petition for the improvement from the School District, the contract for the street and parking
lot work was awarded and the revised conditions for the planning case were approved. Ail City
staff/representatives have worked in cooperation with the School District officials to move this project
fo/ward. Construction on the City's portion of the work will begin the first part of June.
3. The 1995 Street and Storm Sewer Improvement Project also proceeded during the first quarter, with
the Feasibility Report being accepted, public hearing being scheduled, and informational meeting with
residents being conducted in January. The public hearing on the project was held in February and final
plans and specifications ordered. Several petitions from residents were received in March, however,
final plans and specifications were approved and the advertisement for bids was authorized. Bids will
be opened and presented to the Council in April, at which time a decision will be made regarding
proceeding with the project.
These three major construction projects will be a top priority throughout the summer as the City strives to
maintain good communication with residents and businesses through the distribution of periodic project
bulletins.
Two other transportation related projects received a lot of attention during the first quarter. A committee
of school officials/parents/residents/police/City Engineer and other staff was formed and met twice to review
the 36th/Boone Avenue Traffic Signal issue. No consensus was reached, however, a number of options
were reviewed and the meetings had good attendance/input from residents. The Transportation Plan
Update also progressed with a public input/open forum being conducted in January and completion of the
preliminary draft with staff/Citizen Advisory Commission review in March. The final document will be
presented to the Council in April.
Lastly, Phase II City Hall Remodeling Improvements were completed in February, under the direction
of the Director of Finance and Administration with the Inspections/Finance/Manager's Departments moving
into their new quarters in March.
The first quarter of 1995 was busy with these major, and a variety of other minor, engineering project goals
and objectives being met.

five basketball courts and color coating seven courts. At the January 23rd Council meeting, the
improvements were accepted by the Council and final payment was authorized.
December 12th City Council meeting, the final report of the 3-City Joint Water commission Water
System Analysis was presented and accepted. The results of the study indicated the system is in good
shape, however, certain upgrades are necessary. One recommended improvement would be to replace
the north water tower located at 47th & Aquila with a new one million gallon water tower. The City's
share (1/3) is estimated at $330,000 for the new water tower. The Council will be reviewing this
recommendation at a spring work session.
~ii!i~'.:..'~ii!ii~iii~ii~ii~~- There was a considerable amount of Council and
staff time devoted to this project during the first quarter. At the January 9th City Council meeting,
the Council accepted the Engineering Feasibility Report and directed staff to hold an informational
meeting regarding the project. At the January 23rd Council meeting, the Council passed a resolution
setting the date for the public hearing. An informational meeting was held on. January 30th and a
petition was submitted from some residents on Quebec and Rhode Island between 60th & 61st to delete
this area with high PCI rankings. The public hearing was held on February 27th. The Council
ordered construction of the project and preparation of final plans and specifications. A petition for
exclusion from the proposed 1995 project was received and accepted by the Council at the March 13th

New Hope - Bass Lake Road Redevelopment Project
FILE NO:
131.00 - 95.03
Please find attached a copy of the Bass Lake Road Redevelopment planning report for review by
the City. We hope this report provides an understanding of the various issues and costs associated
with the redevelopment project being proposed.
Although the accuracy of cost figures depend greatly on more detailed analysis of individual
components of the redevelopment project, market conditions, and the time at which certain phases
of the process are implemented, we have assembled conservative estimation of project costs for
four different development scenarios. The estimation with which we are least comfortable is the
roadway costs generated by either a through street or a cul-de-sac in Scheme 3 and 4. These costs
will require further examination. However, the cost figures for each scheme are based on the
same criteria in order to establish a basis of comparison.
Perhaps more significant is that this report provides a conceptual framework by which an
appropriate course of action may be evaluated and then pursued by the City. Each of the four
design schemes presented offer certain benefits and limitations to the City's urban evolution. By
providing comparative criteria with regard to local urban issues to be resolved, desirable building
types in the real estate market, as well as redevelopment costs, we have provided necessary
information by which the City may pursue a course of action beneficial to the City, the local
neighborhood, and future residents of the redevelopment project.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.

New Hope - Bass Lake Road Redevelopment Project
131.00 - 95.03
BACKGROUND
The City of New Hope has established a Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area at the comer
of Bass Lake Road and Sumter Avenue North. The project's purpose is to replace deteriorating
housing stock and to replat over-sized and under-utilized lots. The intended result of this project
is to improve the local neighborhood character, provide market rate housing in the project area,
and add value to the surrounding neighborhood.

SITE CONTEXT
A fundamental issue with regard to this redevelopment project is to improve the land and building
utilization of this critical gateway into New Hope from the east (Exhibit A). The City has
prepared a report which identifies the properties in the redevelopment project study area under
consideration for demolition and redevelopment. In review of this report, it becomes highly
evident that there are several land use, zoning and/or building concerns associated with the
existing condition of these properties. Redevelopment of individual properties to correct land use,
zoning and/or building deficiencies would be extensive and would not resolve inherent problems
with this area's growth. Particularly evident is that existing lot configurations of the identified
properties are not conducive to efficient infrastructure access. (The City's property status report
is referenced as an addendum to this report.)
The Project Boundaries and Study Area Map (Exhibit B) describe the existing property locations
and configurations being examined. The study area is defined by the frame, and the project
boundaries are defined by the outline, enclosing the lots under consideration for acquisition and
redevelopment. On the Exiting Topography Map (Exhibit C), the lots under consideration are
removed to reveal the underlying elevations. Generally, there is a gradual stepped slope to the
southeastern corner of the site, indicating its natural drainage pattern.
Individual properties are identified on the Property Identification Map (Exhibit D), and referenced
to the Property Prof'fle Listing (Exhibit E).
Reviewing the profiles of the eleven (11) principal properties under consideration, it becomes
evident that these properties provide an opportunity for local area redevelopment.
ISSUES IDF2NTIFICATION
The Project Issues Map (Exhibit F) locates particular areas of consideration in the design
development of the project area redevelopment. Of significant importance are listed in sequence
of their importance.
Housing Condition. As described by the City's status report concerning the eleven
properties, the condition of this housing stock is poor to marginal. Most properties have
significant code violations inherent to their age as well as their level of maintenance and
upgrades.
Lot Configuration. Especially with the right-of-way extension of Bass Lake Road
neces~ to access the three southwestern properties, the lot conf'.~guration of all properties
does not provide an efficient use of the land. A reconfigurafion of the lot structure to
increase the efficiency of municipal service delivery, automobile access, and land use
appropriate to the traffic characteristics of adjacent roadways would create lots having
greater value to individual property owners, as well as to the City.
2
Bass Lake Road. Bass Lake Road is a minor arterial connecting several northwest
suburban communities of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. As a function of its roadway
classification, Bass Lake Road is more of a commercial corridor, and less desirable as a
single family residential address. As traffic intensifies and volumes increase, the impact
on the redevelopment site will become more significant. The building types and buffering
between the roadway and the existing neighborhood southward must be such that the land
values in this transition zone are retained.
Local Commercial Land Uses. Directly north of the project area, across Bass Lake
Road, are two business establishments. To the west of Sumter Avenue, behind the two
residential lots closer to Bass Lake Road, is an under-sized commercial lot. As a
component of the redevelopment plan, rezoning these two residential lots to commercial
would expand the commercial acreage, and therefore the impacts of such uses on the
residential neighborhood in the project area. The traffic intensities along Bass Lake Road
are reflective of this type of commercial activity.
Sumter Avenue/Bass Lake Road Intersection. This local intersection is jogged
approximately 40 feet to the east at the Bass Lake Road intersection, resulting in an
efficient and unsafe intersection design. In order to create an intersection which handles
vehicular traffic and pedestrian crossings more efficiently and safely, the realignment of
Sumter Avenue to the west is being considered in conjunction with the property
redevelopment planning.
Alanon. The building which houses the Alanon services is a non-conforming use in a
residential neighborhood. The facility has inadequate parking, is in marginal condition,
and impacts the local neighborhood with occasional noise, traffic, and trash problems.
The potential impact of this property and its specific use on the existing neighborhood, as
well as new development, may adversely affect property values.
St. Raphael's Church. The church has a large congregation and is a large semi-public
land use in the area. A large open space behind the building appears contiguous to Elm
Grove Park.
Elm Grove Park. The significance of this neighborhood park and the open spaces behind
St. Raphael's as open space recreation areas, especially for children, cannot be ignored.
Elm Grove Park in particular is a community amenity and its connections to neighborhoods
adjacent to the project area are critical. As a City sponsored redevelopment project, this
site should ensure physical connections are established such that the park is safe and
convenient to use, and visually monitored by neighborhood residents.
Taking into account these site specific issues, the fundamental planning issue is to coordinate a
redevelopment strategy which utilizes the defined project site as a catalyst for increased investment
and,redevelopment throughout the local area. The principal function of a redevelopment program
is to not only increase the value of the project area itself, but also surrounding properties such that
the entire area becomes a functioning, valuable urban component of the City.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Several concepts or design schemes were developed as a response to the issues identified. Review
of these schemes with regard to generalized planning motivations and construction feasibility
isolated four which deserve further analysis.
However, each scenario responds to the issues with common features. These design elements are
listed as follows:
1. A seven foot dedication to the Bass Lake Road right-of-way to provide opportunities for
future roadway expansion, and pedestrian sidewalk construction between the roadway and
the residential lots being developed.
2. A realignment of Sumter Avenue to provide a direct crossing of Bass lake Road.
3. Visual screening of the Alanon property from new residential l~a using landscaping and/or
fencing techniques.
4. Visual screening of the St. Raphael's Church and parking lot from new residential lots
using landscaping and/or fencing techniques.
5. With the exception of Scheme 2, visual screening of Bass ~ Road from new residential
lots using berming, dense landscaping and/or fencing techniques.
6. With the exception of Scheme 2, vehicular access from BaSS Lake Road is discouraged.
7. The southern portion of lot 5 is dedicated for purchase by ~ #7608 and #7624.
8. The two lots on the western side of Sumter Avenue,//5537 ~ 15559, would be dedicated
for commercial land use and would be rezoned accordingly.
4
The following descriptions identify the unique characteristics of each design scenario:
Scheme 1: Single Family - 13 Lots (Exhibit G)
The principal advantage of this scenario is that it reorients lots away from Bass Lake Road,
provides buffer space, and preserves the existing single family residential character of the area.
The scenario creates a single family home neighborhood around a cul-de-sac buffered from Bass
lake Road. The neighborhood is linked with Elm Grove Park and recognizes the surface drainage
characteristics of the area's topography. The scenario would, however, require additional land
acquisition from lot #5530 to achieve the diagramed lot configuration.
An additional four lots would be gained using this scenario, above the nine lots being replaced on
this block.
Scheme 2: Single Family - 15 Lots (Exhibit I)
This scenario offers a higher density alternative in which the lot, street, and block characteristics
are more consistent with the plat of surrounding neighborhoods. A principal disadvantage is that
at least five lots would have access only from Bass lake Road, unless the driveway for the comer
lot is oriented toward Sumter Avenue. Lot sizes would be significantly smaller tha~ those of the
established neighborhood to the south.' Also, a public pathway connection between the new
development is not indicated, although the potential to dedicate a pedestrian walkway between the
two southeastern lots is available. The residual right-of-way dedication off of Bass Lake Road
would be sold to either the Alanon facility and/or St. Raphael's Church, to accommodate
additional parking. Additional property would be acquired from Lots #7624 and #7700.
An additional six lots would be gained using this scenario, above the nine lots being replaced on
this block.
Scheme 3: Townhouse - 12 Lots/Single Family - 6 Lots (Exhibit
This scenario establishes a land use transition between Bass Lake Road traffic intensity and the
single family house neighborhood to the south by including both townhouse and smaller lot single
family homes which back up to similar single family house lots. A roadway connection between
Sumter Avenue and 55th Avenue would be created to continue the network of streets established
bY the adjacent neighborhood. Rather than a through street, the option exists to create a cubde-sac
between the single family house and the townhouses in the southwest comer of the project site.
An additional nine lots would be gained using this scenario, above the nine lots being replaced on
this block.
Scheme 4: Townhouse - 22 Lots (Exhibit M)
Development exclusively with townhouse unit types would maximize the site's density potential,
and therefore return on redevelopment investment. The higher density residential building type
also provides a logical land use transition between the existing single family house neighborhood
to the south and traffic intensity of Bass Lake Road to the north. A semi-public open space
walkway and landscape buffering provides a transition zone between the townhouse neighborhood
and the single family house lots to the south. This scenario would be best developed as a planned
unit development. No additional land would be required, but additional roadway construction
would be necessary to provide a through street by Elm Grove Park. A cul-de-sac could terminate
the roadway on the southeast comer of the project site. A visually secure pedestrian commons
network would be provided as a neighborhood open space amenity.
An additional thix~n lots would be gained using the scenario, above the nine lots being replaced
on this block.
The four schemes described provide a range of alternatives by which the redevelopment project
may be pursued. Each have inherent advantages and disadvantages in addressing the issues
described previously. Determining the relative costs and return on investment for each of these
scenarios is the next step in this analysis. Results of those cost comparisons should l~e taken into
consideration along with local market preferences as well as the long term impact of each scenario
on neighboring properties.
PROJECT COSTS
The following expenses can be expected as a result of the redevelopment of the project site.
There were no appraisals done for the existing properties. Therefore, the acquisition, relocation,
demolition, and public improvement costs are based on amounts provided by the City and its
consultants.
Acquisition. The following represents the 1994 assessed land and building value of all
11 properties (see Exhibit E), plus 10% in order to be generally consistent with the market
values associated with the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). At the time of acquisition, the
City should conduct an appraisal of the property according to the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act) to determine
more accurately the reimbursable value of each property.
Assessed Value (11 properties)
10 Percent (Market Value)

Relocation. The Uniform Act is the principal guide in determining the appropriate
relocation procedures. Using the guidelines of the Uniform Act and with assistance from
Wilson Development Services, our determination of replacement housing payments were
based on three fundamental elements:
Differential between acquired and comparable housing.
Incidental closing costs.
Increased interest rate reimbursement.
The differential amount is the largest factor. It is a function of what is available in the real
estate market at the time of displacement. The more time the City has to f'md a unit, the
better its chances of not having to use an overpriced comparable.
The displacing agency must f'md a comparable rephcement unit before it can give the
occupant a 90 day notice to vacate. The comparable must be available to the displacee and
be functionally equivalent. That means approximately the same size, number of rooms,
bedrooms and bathrooms, etc.
Closing costs include mortgage origination fees, credit report, title opinion, recording fees,
etc., typically run $2,500 - $3,000 per property. Increased mortgage interest rate
assistance is to compensate the displacee in the event the mortgage interest rate is greater
at the new house. This is typically a nominal amount in this period of reasonable interest
rates.
In cooperation with Wilson Development Services, a survey of the immediate
neighborhood was conducted. Two or three houses were found that had signs in front but
were not yet on MI3. One was priced at $79,900 and one at $77,850. This demonstrates
any property under $90,000 moves very quickly and the agents are not rushing to get those
listings into MLS. There seems to be many houses that would list for under $90,000 in
the area, however, they do not turnover very quickly. March, April and May usually
generate a number of listings since many people try to coordinate moving with school
schedules. It would not be wise to anticipate that many more homes will be coming on
the market, especially if interest rates stay steady, they usually do in the spring and
summer.
The MLS shows the following number of comparable properties for sale as of this date in
the New Hope Area:
El:ira_Range /~la._.g_az_Sala
$60,000-70,0O0 1
$70,000-80,000 1
$80,000-90,000 3
$90,000-100,000 13
7
In today's market, total housing replacement values may be anticipated at between $15,000
and $25,000, assuming appraisals would correspond to the valuations described to us by
the City. This range,may seem high, but the limited number of available homes would
drive the costs higher than ordinarily anticipated. For our purposes, the cost of
comparable housing has been designated as $90,000, the price range most functionally
equivalent to the housing being replaced.
To determine the cost of acquisition for our calculations, an average assessed value of all
eleven lots was used, plus ten percent to achieve market value. Two of 'these lots are
currently for sale. Therefore, the voluntary acquisition may allow waiver of relocation
benefits, and a reduction in these costs to the City. However, for the purposes of this
evaluation, the average market value of all eleven properties were considered.

COST ANALYSIS/SCHENIE
The following cost analysis provides a basis of comparison among the various design schemes
described previously. Additional land acquisition and sale amounts are calculated based on a
percentage of the lot area being subdivided times the assessed land value of the property. An
additional 10 percent is included to cover market value of land and transaction costs.
The sales price of lots were based on the estimated lot prices of comparable properties of the
neighborhood. In discussion with a real estate professional, these values were substantiated as
reasonable.

Both Scheme 3 and 4 have the capacity to be reconfigured to accommodate a cul-de-sac at the
southeastern comer of the project site, rather than having the through street as shown in Exhibits
K and M. In this case, the potential of losing one lot in each scenario exists due to the required
diameter of 100 feet of pavement and 120 feet of right-of-way. (See Section 13.053, City Code).
Consideration should also be given to the aesthetic and functional aspects of such a design. The
large expanse of pavement and resulting smaller lots may significantly diminish the neighborhood
street character offered by these schemes. In addition, elimination of the through street would
reduce the access and visual security of Elm Grove Park, a necessary consideration if this
neighborhood park is to be a marketable amenity of the new development.
However, for the purposes of comparison, the following cost estimation is given using a cul-de-
sac alternative for Scheme 3 and 4, eliminating approximately 215 linear feet of street/grading
improvements. The actual roadway costs of this alternative would require a cost estimation by
the City Engineer. A loss in the number of lots, lot size or lot value was not considered in this
evaluation. As a result, the City investment would be reduced by approximately $43,000 in each
scenario.

Real Estate Market Considerations
Exhibits G, I, K and M, depicting all four schemes, were presented to a real estate agent very
familiar with the redevelopment area. The purpose was to solicit an opinion regarding the
marketability of these schemes and suggestions which may improve the marketability of housing
build on the project site. The discussion substantiated certain impressions which should be
confirmed as the redevelopment project progresses. However, the following points are worth
serious consideration with regard to the local housing market:
14
o
o
The townhouse concept would provide the most desirable housing type in this area for
three fundamental reasons:
ao
There is currently a lack of housing types for "empty nesters" and young families
who do not desire large lots and the maintenance associated With such property
ownership.
bo
The convenient access and close proximity to neighborhood shopping and transit
routes would reduce a resident's reliance on automobile travel and ownership.
The reduced land cost allows delivery of more building space within the price
range of the local comparable housing.
do
A homeowner's association among townhouse residents offers greater consistency
and attention to property maintenance throughout the project.
eo
A variety of floor plans, including rambler, split entry, and two story
configurations, would provide choice for buyer's preferences, as well as interesting
architectural building forms.
.-
Semi-public and public open space amenities On site and in Elm Grove Park would be
marketable features of a redevelopment project.
Any housing in this area should be developed to sell for less than $115,000 in order for
buyers to qualify for FHA mortgages.
This redevelopment project should be the first phase of the City's investment into this area.
Further redevelopment iniafives and private development incentives have the potential to
improve property values in the area, increase commercial investment and activity, and
therefore increase the City's tax base.
CONCLUSION
The four schemes analyzed present four alternative design scenarios having different development
costs per unit as well as impacts on surrounding properties. The chosen scheme should balance
the project's investment costs with the target home buying market and the project's ability to
resolve some of the urgent urban issues of the area.

RE:
Regulation of Tattoo Parlors
Our File No: 99.40066
Dear Kirk-
Recently, you asked me to research the City's ability to regulate
and/or prOhibit the occupation of tattooing and tattoo parlors in
the City.
I have discovered some interesting information about the tattoo
business. The State does not regulate this business. The State
leaves all regulation to local authorities. I am enclosing for
your review ordinances I have obtained from Bloomington,
Minnetonka, Minneapolis and St. Cloud that permit and regulate this
business. I also discussed this issue with Mark Grimes, the Golden
Valley City Planner. Golden Valley permits tattoo parlors within
the City apparently without any regulation. Grimes informed me
even if they had restrictions, they lack the staff for enforcement
purposes. They have a business called Ace Tattoo located in a
small shopping center at County Road 169 and Medicine Lake Road
right on New Hope's southern border. Grimes tells me they have had
no problems or complaints with this business.
Regarding our legal authority to regulate or prohibit, I can find
no Minnesota court decisions commenting on this issue. However, I
have found Florida and New York state court decisions ruling that
municipal regulation of the tattooing business is legal.
Specifically, in the Florida case of Golden v. McCarty, 337 So.2d
388 (1976), the Court upheld a regulation making it unlawful for
any person except a duly licensed doctor or dentist or a person
Mr. Kirk McDonald
March 31, 1995
Page 2
under the direction and supervision of a doctor or dentist to
tattoo the body of any human being. The subsequent Florida case of
Piperato v. Zue]ch, 395 So.2d 1231 (1981) further held a
supervising doctor or dentist had to have personal contact with a
customer or be present when the tattoo was applied by a person
acting under the doctor or dentist's direction.
The New York cases of Grossman v. Baumgartner, 281 N.E.2d 259
(1966) and People v. O'Sullivan, 409 NYS2d 332 (1978) upheld
ordinances prohibiting all tattooing of human beings except by
licensed medical doctors for medical purposes only. In other
words, in New York only doctors can apply tattoos and then only if
there is a medical reason for doing it.
Basically, it is not known how Minnesota courts would treat this
issue. The fixed rule and basic standard by which the validity of
a regulation is tested is whether it is reasonable (16 Am. Jur.2d,
Constitutional Law Section 277). In other words, a City ordinance
will be upheld if it is reasonably necessary and appropriate to
accomplish the legitimate purpose falling within its scope.
The legitigate objective of an ordinance regulating the tattoo
business is the protection of public health. Therefore, any
ordinance protecting public health deemed to be reasonable,
impartial and not against the general policy of the State will be
upheld irrespective of pecuniary loss individuals may suffer by its
enforcement. In this case, the inability of "lay tattoo artists"
to practice their profession in New Hope. Of course, this is
assuming the Minnesota courts adopt the same rationale used by the
Florida and New York courts referenced in the above cases.
Please let me know if you would like us to prepare a proposed
ordinance in connection with this issue, and if so, the extent of
the requested regulation.
Very truly yours,
Steven A. Sondrall
