Mr. Charles E. Riesenberg
City Planner
City of Mound
5341 Maywood Road
Mound, Minnesota 55364
Dear Mr. Riesenberg:
The City of Minnetrista has received and reviewed a
copy of the proposed Comprehensive Plan for the City
of Mound. Generally, Minnetrista agrees with and
supports the goals and policies outlined in that plan.
However, there are a few issues identified in that
plan which may affect Minnetrista and which deserve
comment.
The Mound plan represents industrial land uses along
the western portions of Langdon Lake. Since.these properties
lie adjacent to Minnetrista, it is of some concern.
It is questionable whether this is an appropriate use
considering the environmental effects on the wetlands
and lakes, the lack of major arterials servicing the
properties, and the existing residential uses. The
Minnetrista Comprehensive Plan shows low density resi-
dential development in the area with minimum lot size
of three acres. Therefore, Minnetrista is concerned
that these uses may be incompatible due to the detrimental
effects which industrial uses often have on residential
property.
There is a minor inconsistency regarding the respective
transportation plans of ~und and Minnetrista. Mound
--has identified the northern portion of County Road 44
as a collector. However, Minnetrista's plan designates
County Road 44 as a minor arterial. Minnetrista believes
County Road 44 will perform a vital function by providing
access to State Highway 7 for the area's~residents, in-
cluding the citizens of Mound. County Road 44 will also
provide access to the downtown Mound area for those resi-
dential properties located in the South Halstead Bay area.
Therefore, Minnetrista requests that this inconsistency
be resolved.
Mr. Charles Riesenberg
Page 2
February 24, 1981
The plan identifies a number of wetlands throughout
the City and the important functions which they perform.
It encourages the preservation and protection of wet-
lands. Since there are wetlands within the City of
Mound which also extend into the City of Minnetrista,
the use of wetlands will affect Minnetrista. Therefore,
the City of Minnetrista strongly supports Mound's
policies regarding the preservation and protection of
wetlands.
The park element of your plan states that the construc-
tion of bikeways is a key element to your park system.
Minnetrista's plan also recognizes the need for additional
trails and encourages their development. Minnetristra
therefore, supports the further development of trails
and expresses willingness to coordinate with the City
of Mound regarding such projects.
The Mound plan does not address sanitary sewers. The
limited MWCC sewer capacity and the allocation of that
capacity is an important issue to be discussed between
our two communities. It will be 'beneficial to both
communities to determine the allocation of the limited
capacity, support each other before Metropolitan Council
and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and work
together to resolve any problems. Therefore, Minnetris~a
would appreciate the opportunity to review and comment
on any further plans or policies which Mound may develop
in regard to this issue.
Minnetrista appreciates the opportunity to review and
comment on the future plans of Mound and requests%~that
your City give careful consideration to our comments,
as outlined above.
Sincerely,
CITY OF MINNETRISTA

Dear Mr. Kopp:~

The Lake Minnetonka Paratransit System, commonly known as TonkaMobile,
has been providing service to ten communities in western Hennepin county
since April 14, 1980.
The project is a one year demonstration funded by the Minnesota Department
of Transportation. Staff will recommend to the Operations Committee
of the Metropolitan Transit Corm~ission on March 11, that the peak portion
of the service be oontinued into the second year but that the non-peak
service be discontinued on April 30, 1981.
Enclosed please find an evaluation of the first ten months of operation.
Major findings of the report include:
Over 58% of all trips occurred during the peak period (6-9 a.m. and
3-7 p.m.).
Transit dependents - elderly and youth - made up more than 70% of
the non-peak ridership.
Physically handicapped patrons composed 0.3% of the non-peak ridership.
The subsidy per passenger for peak service was 79% less than the
subsidy per passenger for non-peak service.
Cooperative ventures in subcontracting can reduce the cost of
providing paratransit service.
- Patrons are willing to pay a premium for off route pick-up.
Access to regular route transit was improved as a result of tke
demonstration.
The report and recommendations will be discussed at the Operations
Committee Meeting on March 11, 1981, at 4:30 p.m. The meeting will be
held at the Metropolitan Transit Commission, 801 American Center Building~
150 E. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul, Minnesota, 55~Ql~._I~_~ouhaye.an¥ coam~nt$

Mound Bay Park LAWCON Grant Development Schedule
The State people have indicated our grant will be tendered within
4-6 weeks. In discussions with Chris Bollis, the City must decide
if the project is to be completed prior to the 1st week in June or
wait until late August once the swimming season is over.
If the City decides to complete the project before this summer's
recreational session, it is recommended that authorization is
given my office and McCombs Knutson to prepare the development's
plan and specifications, the final grant application and accompa-
nying documentation to secure the additional required permits
from all appropriate regulatory agencies. The bidding process
and construction period would be structured by scheduling a pre-
June completion date.

ALBERT H. QUIE
GOVERNOR
Till,;
February 1981
Dear Friend:
Local government officials in Minnesota have been doing a tremendous job in meeting
the needs of our State residents at the local level. But, as you know, sometimes
running local government can be difficult because your budget is a combination of
federal, state and local funds. On the average our latest figures show city, township
and county governments receive 11.7 percent of their funds from the federal government,
36.9 percent from the State, 28.2 percent from local property taxes and 23.2 percent
from other local funding, such as fees.
Because of the significant portion of your budget that comes from the State you may
be interested in knowing how my 1981-83 Budget Message to the Minnesota Legislature
will affect local government.
First of all, you should know that I was able to reduce expenditures for State agencies
while maintaining funding for local governments to keep down local property taxes.
CONTROLLING STATE SPENDING
In the current year, when we exclude the expenditures for education, health, welfare
and corrections, the remaining total general fund budget for the rest of the State
agencies is $312 million.
When we exclude the legislative, judicial and constitutional officers, the budget of
the remaining State agencies in the current year is $254 million or 6.7 percent of
the total general fund. I am recommending that those budgets be reduced by $25.7
million or by more than 10 percent in fiscal year 1982 and recommend they be allowed
to grow by less than 2½ percent in fiscal year 1983. These reductions are after
adjustments for inflation.
CONTROLLING STATE EMPLOYMENT
A major element in my effort to reduce the cost of State government is a substantial
reduction in the number of positions on the State payroll.
The reductions I am recommending are not the result of an arbitrary, across-the-board
cut in payroll. They are based on careful review of minimal budget plans prepared
by each State agency head and will be implemented in a manner which minimizes impact
on State employees and the recipients of State services. Wherever possible, the
reductions will be made through attrition.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
-2-
STATE AID TO LOCAL GOYERNMENT$
You will also be interested in knowing that I am recommending tax relief and aid to
local governments of $2.37 billion for the next biennium. This biennium estimated aid
to local governments is just over $2.1 billion. In addition, my budget recommendations
include $1.095 billion in total aid to local units for social services, which is an
increase of nearly $200 million over the 1980-81 biennium social service aid of $905
million. Aid to local government will increase over $59 million in the next biennium
from $482 million in the 1979-81 biennium to $541 million in the 1981-83 biennium.
(For specific aid amounts you may want to refer to the enclosed charts and tables
compiled by the Minnesota Department of Finance.)
To provide a balanced budget I have proposed legislative changes to several of the
current payment schedules for State aids. The March 15, 1981 payment would be made
as scheduled. The balance for calendar year 1981 would be paid in six equal install-
ments, July through December. Beginning in 1982 the full amount due in any calendar
year would be paid in six equal installments July through December.
This continued level of State aid to local units of government should enable you to
continue your services while still holding the line on property taxes.
WELFARE
Welfare received an 18.5 percent increase in medical assistance over the appropriated
level for the current biennium in my budget recommendations. This increase is con-
sistent with the general 18.5 percent increase in the general budget and the welfare
dollars are divided in the following manner:
--An increase of lO.1 percent in fiscal year 1982 for income maintenance
programs and a 7.4 percent increase for fiscal year 1983.
--An increase of 8 percent in fiscal year 1982 for medical assistance payments
and continued funding of medical assistance programs at fiscal year 1982
level in fiscal year 1983.
I have also proposed:
--Legislation be adopted to amend existing law governing eligibility and
entitlement. This will have the effect of reducing the costs for counties
as well as for State government.
--Creation of a task force representing taxpayers, the Legislature, counties,
providers of health care services, recipients, federal agencies and other
State agencies to conduct a thorough study of existing programs and prepare
a set of recommendations for submission to the 1982 Legislature. The task
force will explore alternatives to the existing means of providing health
services within my budget.
--On top of that I have provided $10 million for the Legislative Advisory
Commission (LAC), should General Assistance Medical Care costs exceed
the allocated amount.
-3-
I hope that you as a local official would consider the same types o~ cost containment
measures as I have proposed on the State level as you review the budget needs of
your county, town or city. With all of us working together to hold down government
spending and taxes, I believe we will offer Minnesotans responsible government at
all levels.
If, as you review the enclosed materials, you have questions, please contact my
office.

the various disputes between parties. The purpose of
this letter is to put Clint's understandinq of the
nature of this settlement in writing so that each of .......

~tand"{h~ terms, they are basically as follows.
Ron Gehring will agree to pay Clint Voorhees all attorneys'
fees that Clint is obligated to pay to Mr. Koenio and to
our law office in connection with representing him in his
efforts to straighten out this matter. I believe Mr. Koenig's
bill is approximately $500, and our bill will run, I estimate,
about $750. Mr. Gehring will also pay all interest charged
by Sussel on monies heretofore advanced by Sussel for the
purchase of the lot and on any other monies advanced. Finally,
Mr. Gehring will agree that the cost of excavation at the site

Re: Voorhees - Hiller - City of Mound
Dear Mr. Schmidt:
On February 17, 1981, I received your letter dated
February 12, 1981. I have transmitted this to the City Manager and
to the City Engineer for advice and comment concerning the questions
raised in your letter.
I did at this time want to write you and indicate that
the settlement as you have stated in your letter should not be
considered to be acceptable to the City of Mound and that until we
have had a chance to review your proposal, you should not proceed on
the assumption that we are in agreement.
We will review your proposal and try to react with the
position of the Mound staff.
Secondly, I am in confusi o n concerning your indications
that Mr. Gehring is going to give easements to the Hillers since I
was under the assumption that Mr. Gehring had sold the property to
Mr. Voorhees. The City will not be giving easements to the Voorhees
or Hillers to use Windsor Place. To the best of my knowledge, these
are publicly deeded easements which the City cannot justify improving
because the costs would have to be assessed back against benefitted
properties, and this does not appear economically feasible. Therefore,
the City will not be granting any easements but probably can approve
a permit to fill on the public easement and to work within the public
easement. This is all we agreed to at the time of the meeting' in your
office.
I am not in a position to comment on the building plans as
they will have to meet the city and state codes. Assuming this is
done, the building inspector would, of course, be in a position to
issue or release the permit. If Mr. Voorhees has paid for this permit,
we can proceed without any further charges for the permit. I am not
in a position at this time to indicate that there are no other city
charges, and I am asking the city staff to review that point.
WURST. CARROLL & PEARSON

Mr. Jeffrey R. Schmidt
February 20, 1981
J
I am asking the city engineer and the city staff to review
your sewer hook-up problem to inform you how this can be done with a
minimum of damage. I am assuming here that if we have constructed the
sewer in such a fashion that we have to break into the new street to
make new connections, the city will seriously consider improving the
street without any charges to your client. I want to caution you that
there has been no agreement nor do I anticipate one which will result
in the city extending this street any further in front of the Voorhees
property. Any such extension will undoubtedly result in special
assessments against Voorhees - Gehring or whoever else owns that
property.
I have reviewed the Mound ordinance and find nothing which
would allow us to give you permission to put a travel trailer on the
premises during construction. Any such type of approval would have
to be requested under a special permit or a variance, reviewed by the
planning co~m~ission, and approved by the council, and undoubtedly would
carry specific conditions, if approved, which would limit the time and
other factors. I further call to your attention that this was never
discussed at our prior meeting and this comes as a complete surprise
to me. I do not understand if Gehring is going to own the property
why Voorhees will have a travel trailer on the land unless he were
constructing a home, and then I presume he would be the fee owner.
In any event, this question along with the others are currently under
review, and we ask that you not proceed on the assumption that all of
these items will be approved.

MINUTES
TREASURER'S
REPORT
WATER STRUCTURES & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE: Brown reported that the committee
reviewed the public hearing reports for Walden and recommended approval with
the following stipulations: (1) the installation be for 6 boats, (2) the
District back-license the facility to 1977, and (3) that the structure be
designed so that no variance is req6ired. Brown so Moved, Pillsbury Seconded.
Hart Kuller, attorney for Walden Tract Xowners, requested that not 6, but
8 or 9 boats be allowed (with 8 boats, 2 larger-sized boats could be utilized;
with 9 boats, 3 smaller boats could be utilized); the numbers of boats stored
has always been 8 or 9; that they would have applied for a license had they
known the LMCD existed and/or required one; the LMCD'is dealing with a large
amount of property values; and Kuller requested a variance from the 1-boat-
per-50' density requirement. John Bifone, a Walden owner, said the hardship
created by the allowance of 6 boats is financial; Jean Stiegemeier, an owner,
said that allowing only 6 boats would create an internal hardship within the
group in assigning the dock space. Ron Zamansky, attorney for abutting
property owner Brooks, said he would expect an "as-built" and that any
variance would encroach upon Brooks. It was confirmed that Walden property
owners had not submitted applications for 1977 and 1978 (to accommodate the
back-licensing), nor had an acceptable site plan been submitted; Chairman
Paurus pointed out that with a history of 8 or 9 boats, the dock use area
has always been overused; Johnson felt that the impact really is not great
on the encroachment. Brown withdrew his Motion, Pillsbury his Second.
Brown Moved, Pillsbury Seconded that in view of the above, the Walden
variance application and the dock license application before the Board be
denied. Motion, Ayes (7), Nays (4), Abstains (1), Boies, Hunt, Johnson and
Soderberg voting Nay; Fasching abstaining.

Brown reported that the committee reviewed the public hearing report for
the Excelsior Bay Associates covering the old Pivec property (and combining
with the Lake Place licensed facility), and recommended approval with the
following stipulations: (1) there be LMCD legal review of the corporate
authority under the LMCD Code, (2) the dock structure be redesigned to dis-
courage outside boat parking, and (3) that dock construction may not begin
until completion of the framing and roof of the Excelsior Bay Gables
condominium.
L~CD attorney LeFeve~e.reported that this facility is a marina under LMCD
Code. Kitchak presented a new site plan but where tiespaces could still
be easily utilized, thereby creating unlicensed watercraft availability
units. Kitchak reported that the Associates would be reluctant to cut the
posts to the dock level, but the area could be signed to discourage parking
on the outside of the dock;.however, he wouldn't guarantee that anyone would
not park in the controversial area.
Nixon Moved, Boles Seconded to approve the 1981 dock license application at
the Excelsior Bay Gables condominium (combining the former Pivec and Lake
Place facilities) for 26 slips as presented by Kitchak with the following
stipulations: (1) to discourage parking along the outside of the pier struc-
ture, the posts be cut to dock level and the area be signed for "No Parking,"
and (2) that dock construction may not be started until completion of the
framing and the roof of the Excelsior Bay Gables condominium. Motion,

Brown reported that eight dock license applications (Bay Point Apartment
Homes, City of Deephaven, Hary T. Kreslins, Lakeview Restaurant, Martin &
Son, Sailors World, Shorewood Yacht Club and Windward Marine) would require
public hearings. The committee also.~approved a public.hearing for a variance
requested by Homer O. Norris, but acknowledged that a variance proceeding for
William F. Lovkvist.for a dock on 3'-or less of frontage on Priests Bay
(where there is adequate frontage on'the same lot on Halsteds Bay) would be
fruitless.
The committee continued discussion of the need for a limitation on the four-
boat residential allotment.
A special committee meeting for review of the DMA policy and private club re-
classification issues was set for Saturday, February 7 at 7:30 a.m., Harts

Ayes (12), Nays (0).
LAKE USE COMMITTEE: Pillsbury reported that the committee reviewed an ap-
plication by AdvanceMachine Company for a lighted public skating rink on
Spring Park Bay near Water Patrol Headquarters. The company has in the past
provided an Olympic training rink on the Harrisons Bay side; however, because
of its location it has had little use. They intend to provide a warming
house on shore and lighting for evening skating.~ The committee recommended
approval with stipulations.
Pillsbury Moved, Bauman Seconded that the special event permit application
for Advance Machine's skating rink on Spring Park Bay be approved with the
following stipulations: (1) that lighting be directed downward, (2) that the
location of the rink be agreeable~with other.agencies, and (3) that the pro-
ject be supervised by the Water Patrol. Moticn, Ayes (12), Nays (0).
The committee reviewed a redraft of the model tree'cutting ordinance which
incorporated the recommendations of the Watershed District (clarifying areas
of jurisdiction, and making specific references.to riprapping, retaining
walls, emergent vegetation, and sea walls), and recommended Board approval
after legal review.
The draft on Quiet Waters policy was accepted by the committee and modified
for further study and review; the Quiet Waters buoy placement criteria was
also accepted for further study and review.

The Water Patrol reviewed with the committee the noise control programs in
several areas of the country, indicating that a New Jersey law provides for
the establishment of a noise testing station by the enforcement agency
whereby suspected violators could be ordered through a 100-yard test course;
this course allows a maximum noise limitation of 86 decibels at 50 feet. _
The committee accepted the proposal for further legal review and study.
Pillsbury reported that in view of the prospects for the noise testing
station (above), the committee will continue to develop an addition to the
current LMCD access signs advising the public that a noise abatement program
is in effect on Lake Minnetonka.
Since Dunwoody has no voluntary training program that would assist the LMCD
in providing a suitable measured mile to test machines, the Power Squadron
has been approached'to see if it would help to chart such a course on the
Lake.
The committee reviewed the county's general request for approval of its 1981
maintenance program for the. Lake and recommended approval to the Board.
Johnson Moved, Soderberg Seconded that the 1981 county Lake maintenance
program be approved as requested as follows:
General maintenance:
a. Place, maintain, and remove buoys and signs.
b. Maintain public accesses.
c. Place and maintain trash containers.
