BACKGROUND
In the 1970's, the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), conducted a series of
Route Ridership Improvement projects which were designed to improve public transit
services throughout the seven-county metropolitan area. One of the studies focused
on western Hennepin County which lead to a document entitled: "Western Hennepin
Route Ridership Improvement Project".
The Western Hennepin Project contained a discussion of a transit improvement
program which included possibilities for new types of transit service. One of
the proposed services dealt with fixed routes interfacing with local paratransit
service. This concept involved focusing transit services on subregional activity
centers, in response to the Transportation Development Guide Policy Plan. Fixed
route service would serve to link the subreqional activity center with the metro
center, and paratransit service would provide mobility from outlying neighborhoods
to the subregional activity center.
In 1977, the MTC submitted a preliminary application to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation (Mn/DOT), for a paratransit system which would serve the Lake
Minnetonka Area. The system focused on the use of small vehicles and proposed
to serve the area by providing transportation to subregional activity centers.
In August, 1978, the final application for funding was submitted and subsequently
approved. In April of 1980 the project began operation with non-peak service.
Peak service was added in May.
A Community Advisory Committee, formed from members of the Western Hennepin
Route Ridership Improvement Project Advisory Committee and community input
serves to review project progress, approve and endorse major project activities
and aid with the dissemination of information.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The system is twofold: a point deviation system and an employee subscription
service. Six vehicles are leased to the Town Taxi Company of St. Louis Park
by the MTC for the duration of the project. Four vehicles are used at any one
time. An additional handicapped accessible vehicle is also available for use.
The employee subscription service accommodates work oriented trips. Two vehicles
operate between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, to serve Cargill, Minnetonka Industrial Park, Opus II and Fingerhut.
A person desiring service registers with Town Taxi. The monthly cost is $32.00.
This service is available to residents of Wayzata, Greenwood, Deephaven, Minne-
tonka, Excelsior and Greenland.
Between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and on Saturday between
8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., four vehicles operate by point deviation. Vehicles
are scheduled to stop at a given point at a designated time; between points the
vehicles may deviate to accommodate passenger trip requests. The service area
includes Mound, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Excelsior, Minnetonka and Wayzata,
Deephaven, Shorewood, Greenwood and Woodland. Points are coordinated with MTC
regular route service and transfers granted by the system are honored by regular
route transit and vice versa.
To utilize the point deviation system, a person may either board the vehicle
at a designated point or call the radio dispatch center at least two hours in
advance of the trip for door-to-door service. The dispatcher schedules the
trip within the time frame available for pickups between scheduled time points.
Service is provided with less than two hours notice if vehicles and drivers
are in service and reasonably available.

The other item is:
Side Yard Variance

The Planning Commission recommended the approval of the request for a
side yard variance recognizing the present nonconforming use requires a
8.5 foot side yard variance due to the hardship created by the utility
easement dividing the property the the existing ground water drainage
problem. Also the existing garage is a nonconforming use.

Proposed Policy For Retaining Wails
Sob #5248
Dear Mr. Kopp:
At a recent Council Meeting it was requested that we Oraft verOage for
consideration by the Council on how to handle new retaining walls that are
requested after construction of the streets have been completed.
It has normally been City policies that retaining walls will not be
constructed along vacant lots. This is because we do not know where to locate
driveways, we don't know what the appearance of the finished lot may take and
therefore retaining walls built on lots before the house will often end up being
wasted. Therefore, we normally do not built retaining walls along vacant lots.
This is not always the case because in some cases the banks are so steep that
walls must be provided to prevent serious erosion or regrading of the entire
lot. This new policy, as we understand it, is to establish a cut off point as
to when any fwture retaining walls will become the responsibility of the
property owner and not the City.
My recommendation wobld be as follows:
"It is not the City's policy to construct retaining walls along vacant
property except in rare cases where it is necessary to prevent erosion or
serious regrading of the vacant lot. In order to qualify for a retaining
wall constructed at City expense as part of the street project, the property
owner should have obtained his building permit and initiated construction on
the lot prior to the time the curb and gutter is placed in front of his
property. If the owner has initiated the construction and advised the
Engineer of where his driveway apron should be placed prior to the
construction of the concrete curbing, then his property can be considered
for the construction of a retaining wall as a part of the street
improvement. In this case, the same criteria used for determining the need
for retaining walls on developed lots shall apply and will only be approved
by action of the City Council."
We believe this will spell out a policy consistent with the action taken
recently by the City Council in approving an additional retaining wall.

assessment per apartment would be $2,024.00.
The following is a breakdown showing how this figure was arrived at.
3/4 unit ~ $2,000.O0/Unit = $1,500.00
860 lin. ft. $ $11.60/lin. ft. + 106 apt. : 94.00

RE: Review of Minnetrista Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mr. Link:
The City of Mound is in receipt of your comprehensive plan and appre-
ciate this opportunity for review.
In summary, a majority of the plan policies and future'development
implications indicated in Minnetrista's Plan are of local concern.
Furthermore, it is our opinion that there are no major changes in your
planning program from what the City of Mound assumes current policies
are: land use, sewer and housing plans.
Transportation planning appears the only area of significant common
concern. Aware that previously programmed improvements to County Road
llO have been proposed by Hennepin County. The City of Minnetrista's
policy development regarding this project should be known.
Your plan draft is a good job and offers the City of Mound a clear
picture of future policy. We support your efforts in Metropolitan
Council review and acceptance.
Sincerely,
h rles E. iesenbergJ

LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT
RgCULARMEETING
TONKA BAY VILLAGE HALL
September 24, 1980
The Regular meeting of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District was
called to order by Chairman Paurus at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, September 24,
1980, at the Tonka Bay Village Hall.
Members present: Richard Garwood (Deephaven), Jerry Johnson (Excelsior),
Robert Brown (Greenwood), Robert Pillsbury (Minnetonka), David Boies (Min-
netonka Beach), Norman Paurus (Orono), Frank Hunt (Spring Park), Ed Bauman
(Tonka Bay), Richard Soderberg (Victoria), and Robert Slocum (Woodland).
Communities represented: Ten (10).
Hunt Moved, Johnson Seconded that the minutes of the August 27, 1980
meeting be approved. Motion, Ayes (10), Nays (0).
Hunt Moved, Johnson Seconded that the Treasurer's report be approved and
the bills paid. Motion, Ayes (10), Nays (0).
LAKE USE COMMITTEE: Pillsbury reported that, after discussions with the
state historical society concerning restoration and permanent onshore storage
for the "Minnehaha" hull that was recently raised, the Excelsior Lake Minne-
tonka Historical Society has withdrawn its Special Event Permit application
to establish an underwater boat museum in the Lower Lake. The committee had
recommended that the Society and other participating groups be notified of
the Board's stipulations concerning approval of the matter, i.e. (1) that
there be a legal review of District requirements, (2) that the Board be in-
formed by the participants of any proposed Lake site (possible sites under
consideration are off the northeast corner of Big Island, off the Excelsior
shoal, or on the reef off the east point of Big Island), and (3) that the
final selected location for the boat in the Lake be specified by Special
Event Permit approved by the LMCD Board prior to any such relocation of the
boat into the Lake.
Robert Clouse of the Minnesota Historical Society appeared to inform the
Board of that agency's interest in the raising of the streetcar boat hull.
He reported that lost and abandoned property laws require that a permit be
applied for and issued through their State Administration before a project
such as this is attempted; at the present time this project is in violation
of the state Field Archeology Act. Their concern is that there was no plan
to preserve the vessel, nor was there a plan to use it once the hull was
raised. Because of the extreme cost in preserving an article of that size
(e.g., providing a building with controlled atmosphere and proper temperature;
or in an outdoor situation, providing for the constant application of water
on the hull; or any other measure equally expensive), the state cannot pro-
vide for it, either. However, Clouse reported, State Administration is
working on an agreement with the people who raised the vessel, and with the
cooperation of the LMCD (if it should be requested that the hull be returned
to the Lake) the matter should be resolved.
Pillsbury reported that the committee reviewed the proposed Code amendment

that Quiet Waters restrictions apply to areas, channels, bays and shore-
lines as delineated by markers, buoys, or other aids to navigation placed
by the county or the District, and recommended the amendment for first
reading. It was read.
Pillsbury Moved, Bauman Seconded that the first reading be accepted of the
proposed Code amendment providing for clarification of the definition of
channels. Motion, Ayes (10), Nays (0).
The committee reviewed the list of pumpout facilities available on the Lake,
noting that there are no pumpout stations on the main upper Lake. The com-
mittee recommended that various marinas in the area be contacted (especially
Howards Point Marina) to determine the feasibility of providing pumpouts for
the upper Lake before the 1981 licensing season.
After discussion of any needed changes in the LMCD dredging policy report,
the matter was continued for further study.
The committee reviewed weekend Quiet Waters violations on Grays Bay. The
problem continues in spite of stricter enforcement by the Water Patrol; al-
ternatives include (1) using a different type of Slow buoy, (2) conducting
a new public hearing for purposes of obtaining further guidance from those
affected, (3) cancelling the Quiet Waters area, (4) continuing as is, or
(5) other considerations. The committee continued the discussion to the
next meeting.
At the committee meeting the Water Patrol requested that the District con-
sider establishing a noise testing station similar to watercraft safety
inspections (Code Sec. 4.28). The Sheriff would then be able to order any
craft to be tested at the station and would issue an inspection sticker be-
fore the craft would be permitted to operate again on the Lake. The committee
requested a legal draft for such a proposed amendment.
The Water Patrol advised that it has completed the survey of mooring permits
maintained on the Lake - 269 temporary permits have been issued this year.
The District is requested to help mail notices to these mooring owners at
the end of the boating season to inform the owners of LMCD removal require-
ments, similar to the cleanup letters sent to fish house owners at the end
of the ice fishing season. The committee recommends that the District assist
with the mailing of the notices from a list of names and addresses provided
by the Water Patrol.
The Water Patrol requested that removal of abandoned cars and snowmobiles
(motorized vehicles) on the ice be added to the existing Ordinance dealing
with removal of boats.
LMCD access signs at marinas and at public launching ramps may need to be
updated, adding noise regulations to them.
The committee accepted a memo concerning Shorewood's request to disclose

that illegal structure and use, that it be removed within 60 days (expires
October 6), and for the denial of any future use of this residential property
for commercial purposes. The committee recommended approval of the withdrawal
of the application, and that the application fee be refunded.

The committee reviewed Gayle Marina's 1980 dock license application for 134
rental slips plus 9 service slips. In view of previous recommendations and
in light of Orono's recent action approving only 134 slips, the committee
determined to make no further recommendation to the Board. The committee
also held Gayle'$ application for extending 300' into the Lake until the
application is complete.
Brown Moved, Boies Seconded that Gayle's 1980 dock license application for
134 rental slips plus 9 service slips be approved. Motion, Ayes (8), Nays

and variances from Howards Point Marina, Sailors World, Walden property
owners, and Hans-Rudolf Hartmann.
Review of Deephaven's variance application was continued to allow time for
responses from the affected parties.
The committee reviewed a report on the policy and issuance of District
Mooring Area permits and recommended that a special committee meeting be
held to pursue the matter in greater depth and to ~determine (1) how to deal
with future applications, (2) how to deal with each existing permit, (3) the
need for a Code amendment specifying in greater detail the criteria for
issuing DMA permits, (4) the need for existing DMA's, (5) to rely on the
Code variance provision to establish the need for any future DMA's, and
(6) to make any proposals deemed appropriate on the above or other related
matters.
