As you will note, the original petition for ren.am~ng of County Road 83 to County Road 110 was presented by the Mound businessmen back in 1973. At that time it appears as though there was concurrence by Henneptn County and the City of Independence with some reservation on the part of Maple Plain. Recently an inquiry was made to our office concerning this particular matter and indication was that the City of Maple Plain would favor the renaming of this particular section of Roadway. For this.reason ! am forwarding this correspon- dence on and as you can see Earl Taylo~]..the city clerk of Independence, provided us with some history on this par- ticular topic. .Should you or the city council or business community wish to have any additional input on this particular topic, I am certain any of us would be pleased to receive that ~nforma- tion.

This would specifically affect the section of road knOwn as County Road 83 or Halgren Road which rttn~ from U.S. Highway 12 to Hennepin County Road 6. This suggestion was ~ade to eliminate the name County Road 83 and Just simply tie it in with County Road %10 which run~ south into Mound. The purpose of my letter to you quire as to whether or not there is any historic reason or rationale'for these two eectiona.of road having a different county numbering system. I am forwarding a memo to both of the city clerks of the City of Maple Plain'and'Independence concerning th~s sug- gestion and will relay any information' ~U have concerning this particular topic. If there ~m support from both c~ty councils and the county, we then propose that we go ahead with the appropriate procedure to rename thie short section of roadway.

As you know, Hennepin County Road ~-83 extends in a northerly direction from the intersection, of County Roads ~6 and #110 to U. S. Highway in the Village of ;.laple Plain. The length of County Road ~83 .is at most 2-2)~ miles. To~ether ~.,,~t,1 Hennepin County Road #llO, county Road #83 joins to form the main artery of transportation beb.,leen the Villages of Mound and t. laple Plain. · The nature of the business com,~Jni'ties of l.'.ound and. Maple Plain is'such that there is a high degree of interaction beb. men them in se)'ving the needs of the customers residing in the surrounding areas. As a result, transportation by custOmers, between tile t~.~o business core, unities is often .necessary. Such transportation, by those customers not familiar tilth the roads bet~.;een Mound and ):aple Plain, is made more difficult by the l:act that County Road ~-llO ends at County Road #6 and is replaced in its northerly extension by County Road #83. It is therefore the desire of the undersigned businessmen of l.'.ound to redesignate as Count:/ Road #llO that section of road extending North from the end;point of County Road now designated as Coun. ty Road #83. Tile result of such a change would be to enable businessmen of both communities to direct the travel be~,,~een them by the use of but one continuous road designation and thus to eliminate the confusion no:,~ existing by the fact that County. Road #llO ends and County.Road ~83 begins at their intersecti-pn with Hennepin County Road #6. · ~ / · ~,~;. ,' .,.'~.;~ . , /? i '-,'-.~' .- .~ , .

LEVERING .I Dear Mr. Wold: In re~erence to your letter requesting comments on the proposed upgrading of CSAH 110 & 83 from Mound to Maple Plain, the council discussed this proposal and have the following comments: :-: The council appreciates the County concern about improving the traffic flow ~n the lake area, but as far as the Village of Maple Plain is involved, there is already a dangerous intersection at County Road %83 and Highway %12. Any 'increase in traffic would not improve such p~oblems. We feel that any benefits Maple Plain would receive from the upgrading of'#ll0 and %83, .would not.compensate for the problems caused by the increa~'ed'traffic through the residential area of th~s village. Maple Plain is in the process of developing a comp- rehensive traffic plan relative to County Road % 83 and %110 in the Maple Plain area, and requests that-no action be taken on the re-nameing of County Road %83 to %110 until'our traffic proposal has been finalized. .j We will be in contact with you and trust you will give it serious consideration for all municipalities involved.

Streets Annual Maintenance Allotment MKA #7753 It is a requirement of State Aid Regulations that the City pass a resolution requesting additional maintenance funds if more than the minimum is needed. We have prepared a resolution, which is enclosed, reouesting $25,000.00 for next year's maintenance allotment. This request for $25,000.00 is the same amount that the City received in 1986. The interest payment on the M.S.A. bond in 1987 will be $6,050 which is $3,600.00 less than the 1986 payment. I am sure the Street Department can use this additional $3,600.00 for maintenance on the M.S.A. system. The total allotment for 1987 is projected to be $166,000.00, less the $25,000 for maintenance and the $~0,000.00 principal payment on the M.S.A. bond, which will leave approximately $91,000.00 for the construction fund. I have also included a copy of the transmittal letter from last year to use as a guide when suOmitting the resolution to the State M.S.A. office. The resolution needs to be in their hands by December 15th. If you have any. questions, or need any additional information,' please contact us.

We've used high-strength anodized aluminum tubing and aluminum castings for mountings. Our design is modular and strong enough so that you can order longer-than-standard poles or ~;horter-than- standard poles. Castings can be moved up or down for simpli- fication of mounting. After castings are located in desired location just tighten up three set screws and they're ready for installation. High gloss epoxy white paint is used on all cast- ings and light heads for durability and appearance, for the life of our products on your vehicle. We designed KWIK-RAZE lighting equipment to be ready when and where you need it. So it's tough. And it's constructed of materials that can stand years of wear without malfunction. Don't answer an emergency without it. KWIK-RAZE bottom-raising fixture, with 2" or 4" (50.8 mm or 101.6 mm) offset mountings, can be brought into action before vehicle even stops, for instant light coverage. KWIK-RAZE stand-off or flush mountings keep lighting out of the way and protected until you're ready for instant raising. KWIK-RAZE mountings and fixtures give you total flexibility for tight, close-in work on all special equipment. KWIK*RAZE tripod mountings and fixtures give you stand- alone stability; no teetering; built for grab-run-set-ups. How to Select I LUII -RRZ * Lighting_: 1.

Two lower bidders, Carlson~s Lake' State Equipment Co., biddlng.an..OMC 552 and Kortuems with a John Deere 675 did not meet specifications. The Melroe #MSq3 bid came in at $15,780, ~660.00 over OMC .#552 and ~281.00 over John Deere #675. The deviation that OMC and John Deere models have from the specifi.cation set by the City far exceed the lower priced bid. To point out these areas, I have attached a copy of deviations as required of the bidder on the loader they are bidding-. (Note attached #1 and #la). The OMC 552 as shown by.their specification deviation sheets show 6 major areas that need to be pointed out. (Note attachment #1). 1. SIZE: The.overall machine is wider, higher and heavier than City specifications. This can hinder access and maneuverabillty. 2. PERFORMANCE: The bucket reach on ground is l$.q" less than spec- ification. ' 3, HYDRAULIC SYSTEM: The bucket tilt hydraulic cylinder rod is-~' less than the 1½" in the specification. This rod is what gives the strength to the Cylinder, and ¼~ discrepancy is a great reduction and will hinder performance. 4. PAINT: 'The City specifications call for a polyurethane coating. The OMC 552 does not provide this, nor is it an option, This option coUld run in cost around $300.00. Thiscoatlng will provide a long life for the paint and with the City looking at a retention, life of this machine being longer than a general contractor~ thi~ item is very important. It allows protection against chemicals such as street salt and is more resilient to impact incurred during use, 5. CONTROLS: The steering in the OMC is a ~T~ bar between the legs of the operator, (see attachment #2), This, I feel is a safety risk due to the operator having to climb over the control when getting in or out, It allows a piece of clothing to catch the control or bump it with a leg, thus jarring the machine when the operator is in an awkward position, The specifications call for steering control by An equal Opportuml)' Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of race. color, national origin, or handicapped status in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Evaluat.iOn of Bids for One-Half November 10, 1986 Page 2 Yard Skldsteer Loader two independent hand levers as shown in the attached item #3. This al'lows an.unrestricted entry and exit. Auxiliary Valve: The OHC with a 'T~ handle control requires the operator to take one hand off of the ~T~ to operate the auxiliary valve control. The.specificatlons from the City call for an auxiliary valve control in the right hand steering lever so both hands remain on the controls and ailow easier and safer'Operation. SAFETY EQUlPHENT:..The City specific~tions sta~ed that "seat belt.must be fUrnished as standard equipment. Additional.operator protection shall be provided by a seat bar or similar device which shall restrict, loader operation when device not' used~!. This can be seen on attached item.#3..'The OMClprovides. a'seat belt with on.ly'a neutral start Safety system. The safety bar'is an inner lock device, which when up the bar shuts down the hydraulic system, so if'a control lever.is hit accidentally, it will not activate the machine. I',-cannot stress the importance of this additiOnal safety-feature enough.. Operator safety features not only protect the °perator,.but also workers and the job site from loss of control'of the machine. The John Deere ~675 bid by Kortuems Sales does not meet City specifications in almost all areas. This is'due to John D~e~e not having a comparable competitive priced model. Thus, they had.to bid a smaller unlt to meet prices from'competitOrs. If you will look at the attached item #lA you will note thls. For example: Length \ 12u short Height 9.25~ smaller Weight 1601 lbs.lighter Hydraulics smaller overall Engine 10 HP smaller '" Tires 2~ less In width Safety.Bar none Tipping Load 100 lbs less Operating Capacity $0 lbs less In conclusion, after a.'therough review of two of the machines bid, O'HC Node1 #552 and John Deere ~ode'1'#675, they do..not meet the specifications set by the City and should not be considered for purchase. My recommendation is'to purchase the Melroe #M8q3 as bid. byLano Equipment Inc. It meets all required specifications both in safety and performance while maintaining a fair price'with 'its added features. JF:ls SKIDSTEER LOADER BIDDER MAKE & MODEL AMOUNT 1.

Devon Lane, between Cumberland and Donald is approximately 21 feet wide with parking permitted on the east side. It should also be noted that in that particular area, there is also a steep grade. There are five family units that access Devon Lane between Cumberland and Donald. The family units on Devon, especially on the east side, of which there are three, two of them (3012 and 3018 Devon) h~ve very very small front yards with extra small drive- ways. I don't believe that either of the driveways will accomodate two cars parked side by side. The primary complaint that we are receiving, is from residents not being able to go up or down that particular section of Devon without crossing over into the oncoming lane of traffic when there is a car parked on the east side. Due to the grade, drivers are also unable to see oncoming traffic for a period of time, especially in the immediate area of 3012 and 3018 Devon. The resident of 3018 Devon, Shirley Desmond, operate the Magic Ride Limousine Service out of their residence. They do have two late model stretch limousines. As I mentioned earlier, that residence has an extra small drivewaY which I don't believe would ac¢om~date one of the stretch model limousines. As a result, when the limousines are not in use, they are parked in the street which creates part of the problem. In order to remedy the parking problem, it would be my recommendation that we post that section of Devon, between Cumberland and Donald, no parking on both sides. It appears that the five family units that this posting would affect, all have adequate parking except for 3012 and 3018 Devon. The residents at 3012 and 3018 Devon do have a tuck-under garage which appear would accomodate more than one vehicle. We also have complaints in the winter time from residents who are unable to negotiate Devon in that particular area because~of snow and ice and the grade. These complaints are few due to the fact that the street department, I feel, does a very good job in that area and by being aware of the problem. BILLS ..........

Good weather the first three weeks of the month plus an excellent Halloween weekend contributed to our success. We are roughly 540,000 down from 1985, and 540,000 above 1984. John Norman and I took a look at. the profit earnings after the third quarter and put an estimate of our profits at around 519,000. So we went from making 56,000 after the second quarter to earning 519,O00 after the third quarter, The noticeable jump is to be expected since we pay a lot of heavy prepaid expenses (insurance) in the beginning of the year. With these figures in we can appromimate our net gain for the year at around 530,000. Add another 58,000 in interest and we're looking at about 538,000.

The parks have experienced a lot of dumping of leaves, branches and ti'res on them. Other areas such as vacant lots and street drains have also been used for the same. John Taffe, parks maintenance, has left for this year. He will return again next spring. Now the staff is down to myself. In retrospect, this year has shown many accomplishments by the seasonal employees; John Taffe, Bob Johnson and Dell Rudolph. The City has received many benefits from the experiences of these fine retirees. ~pecific Tree Removal We had to remove two large cottonwood trees from the Black Lake Channel. One tree had fallen from the wind and had completely blocked the channel. The second tree was under cut from erosion and was hazardous to a near by house. This removal cost $1950.00 and will mean that the line items for tree removal will be fully expended. Earlier. I felt we would see a savings, but this removal was quite unique and expensive due to the difficult access and removal problems~ Cemetery. We did not have the usual Halloween vandalism at the Cemetery this year. Normally, we have experienced headstones turned over. The trimming of trees in the old section will be done this winter.

Parks Department Monthly Report November 5, 1986 Page 2 Parks All summer equipment has been stored for the winter. There will be three skating rinks 'for this winter: Three Points Park, Hyland Park and Clover Circle Park. Docks We have begun looking at the specific areas from our master list for rip rapping. The areas that are listed as critical will be attended to first. Some of these areas can be done easier during the winter months because of access by ice. The master map is located in the Park Department office at City Hall. Each area is tagged currently with dock numbers and footage to be rip rapped. The projected year of completion and cost will be added. JF:ls TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council FROM: Jan Bertrand, Building Official DATE: November 1, 1986 SUBJECT: October Monthly Report During the month of October, we had. a very active construction period with the warm fall weather. The following inspections were conducted by myself during the remainder of October: Site inspections Footing inspections Insulation inspections Framing inspections Drywall inspections Final inspections Progress inspections Erosion/Grading Heating inspections Plumbing inspections Fire sprinklers Complaints Total 2O 24 14 4 33 11 0 7 6 0 14 142 Preconstruction meetings with owners and contractors for Cobbletone Cove was held with several staff persons attending. As you~Fan see from the attached permit report, I have approved a number of permit applications and plan review. During the latter part of' October, it was necessary for me to hire out plan review for five single family dwellings and the Commerce Place Bank Building, due to my time constraints. Various meetings were held.. Several with the architect, code consultant, and sprinkler company for the Balboa remodeling project. Two meetings were held with the VFW representatives~for their new building with the contractor and architect to resolve some of the design adjustments required to meet building code. The City's engineer and myself met with Russ Fierst, builders at the site on Deerwood to discuss grading of some new single family home sites. The City Planner, Mark Koegler, and myself met with Phil Hasch regarding a future application on Northern Road in the General Business District. Mr. Hasch and another neighbor will be applying for a variance to consider reconstruction of single family dwellings in the currently zoned business district. The City vehicle was brought into the City garage on October 30th for the fall tune-up. I attended two City Council meetings during the month of October. We had a Planning Commission Board of Appeals meeting and we had our first annual Planning Commission Recognition Dinner on October 21st. I believe the Planning ,1371 October Monthly Report November l, 1986 - Page 2 Commission was very pleased at this gathering and the .City presented the Com- mission members with Certificates of Award for their years of service on the Planning Commission. I attended a Heating Inspectors luncheon, meeting in Medina and an afternoon Lake Country Chapter Building Inspectors meeting at White Bear Lake. on Octo- ber 22nd. We also attended a City Hall staff meetlng during'the month of October. October 8th, I attended an evening meetingfor~the Lost Lake analysis with the'Maxfield ResearCh Group for the feasibility of proposed improvements to the City owned Lost Lake property. The Planning Commission Board of Appeals meeting referred several cases to the City Council for approval. They were a's follows: 1) Variance to recognize an existing nonconforming lot size andsetbacks for 1742 Resthaven Lane which was converted into a subdivision of land; 2) Front yard setback variance for 4894 Edgewater Drive; and 3) Request to move structure from Spring Park onto lot in Woodcrest. · The total number of building permits issued in October was 43 with a valuation of $1,544,588.

There are CBD items that must be resolved before all the costs are incurred during the winter months. The leases with the downtown businesses have expired and should be updated. Quarterly meetings have been initiated to keep the communication lines open between the City and the businessmen. LOGIS Meeting Ed and I attended a LOGI$ meeting regarding the rate structure charged to LOGI$ users. It is our contention that the smaller cities in LOGIS (including Mound) are paying too much and therefore, subsidizing the larger cities. There was no action taken at the meeting regarding the rate structure. However, a motion was approved to allow LOGI$ to license their software similar to the other computer vendors we have researched. This would mean that the City would purchase the computer hardware (a stand alone system) from LOGIS and operate their programs on it. Logis is working on a proposal Which could significantly reduce our computer costs over the long run.

The rest of our time for the month was spent preparing equipment for winter, pumphouse maintenance and meter shop work. There were 7 T-off N-pay and 4 T-ons N-pay. SEWER DEPARTMENT The Sewer Department has begun to flush and clean the 29 lift stations. When this is completed they will start over again and flush the filters and be already for winter. We had one sewer back-up on Langdon Lane. Damage was small and we are still in the process of determining if it was in the city's line or Metro's sewer line. in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities.

October's Activity Report The first four days of the month were spent salvaging some of the equipment from the Medical Clinic and Mueller Drug store, such as cabinets, sinks, shelves, etc. which the City plans to sell. We stored the stuff at the Balboa building in Spring Park. We have moved all the equipment from the Lost Lake site and the Island Park garage parking lot to inside the storage area at the Balboa building in Spring Park, thus enabling us to clean up both a~eas. The Street Department has been cleaning up leaves for the past 10 days. Equipment used in this operation is the vac-all, 2 sweepers and a dump truck. Areas that have been cleaned as of October 31st are the Highlands, Bluffs, Woodcrest, Beachwood, Black Lake, Seton, Harrison Bay and half of Island Park. we plan to continue the clean up as long as the weather cooperates. Dick Johnson who works in the Street Department has been on sick leave for 6 weeks because of surgery. He plans to be back to work the 10th of November.

As fee osmer of the site, Hound's City Council requested the analysis as an aid in determining the eventual development or disposition of the subject property. The site is on the south side of Shoreline Boulevard-and is located about one- quarter mile east of Hound's downtown. The first level of review involved"analyzins the subject property as related ~o the immediate surroundinS area and Hound's do~nto~n'neishborhood. ResultlnS opportunities and/or limitatious were then related to the economic influences from the surroundinS cmmnunlties, followed by a final review of the subject property within the context of the entire Lake Hinnetonka resion. Durin$ this process the primary study area for the Lost Lake site was defined, and its residents were studied as to their social, economic, and housiuS characteris- tics. Specific uses of commercial development (including both retail and of- lice use), lodsius, and housius were considered. Several areas ~'ere not analyzed due to their technical or specialized nature. This report does hot address the 'soll correction that is likely to be needed for any construction on the site° As a pract'i'cal consideration, the eventual use and site layout will dictate the foundation desisn and its related cost. No comment is made on the in£1uence of the Department o[ Natural Resources, the Lake Hinnetonka Conservation District, and the Hinnehaha Creek Watershed dis- trlct which control the use and improvements possible for Lost Lake. Lastly, because of the limited scope o[ the study, an extensive survey o[ attitudes towards retail need was not done. Rather, informal discussions were held with several businesses in the area and other people familiar with the Lost Lake site. AND LOCATION The Lost Lake site is an irresular shaped parcel containing 3.14 acres, with about 400 feet of frontage on Shoreline Boulevard. The site is approximately 370 feet deep. To the east is an adjacent vacant parcel of laud. The subject site is relatively flat and is currently beiug used by the city for storing road machinery and materials. Many years ago the area was used as a sanitary land-fill. The site is part of a 40 acre parcel owned by the City of Mound which includes the abandoned transit canal cutting through Lost Lake itself. The canal connected downtown Mound'With Lake 1/innetonka, extending approximate- ly one mile from the south edge of Shoreline Boulevard to Cook's Bay on Lake Minnetonka. It was used in the early 1900's to replace carriages which shuttled travelers from the Cook's Bay landing to downtown Mound. The circular turnabout loop was partially filled-in as part of the foundation work done in building Mound's Post office which is located just west of the Lost Lake prop- erty. . The two most prominent forces impacting the subject property are Lost Lake itself and Shoreline Boulevard (Hennepln County Road 15). Lost Lake b~. rders the subject to the south and west. Lost Lake has very little open water and is generally a wetland. More than 10 years ago, Hennepin County undertook a pre- liminary study to complete a multi-phased park' development for Lost Lake. A shortage of park funds has indefinitely postponed implementation of the devel- opment plan. For this study, no park improvements in greater Lost Lake by the county are assumed. Shoreline Boulevard (County Road 15) is a two-lane paved road on the subject's north side. It is the only corridor for east-vest traffic through the central Lake Minnetonka area. County Road 15 carries traffic west from Wayzata and terminates'about three miles west of the subject property at the western bound- ary of Heunepin County. Shoreline;'Boulevard car~ie.~.about 11,000 vehicles per day according to 1984 traffic counts, which are the most recent available. There are traffic lights at Commerce Boulevard, which is about one-quarter mile west of the subject property. The lack of sitnal lights at or east of the subject is thought to make access by any westbound traffic from the site some- what difficult, particularly during rush hour. In 1987, Hennepln County is scheduled to rebuild Shoreline Boulevard from Commerce Boulevard on the west to County Road 19 which is about two miles east of the subject property. While the boulevard will remain two-lanes wide, the traffic flow is to be improved with the construction of turning and bypass lanes. Traffic on Shoreline Boulevard is much heavier than any other street in the area because of the narrow band of land through the center of Lake'Minnetonka on which the highway is located. Beginning two miles east of the subject, various bays of the lake elimlnate convenient access to the Mound area and also limit its development potential. The land uses surrounding the Lost Lake site are of commercial nature and are varied in type. The most dominant use is the redevelopment of the 408,200 square feet industrial property located on the north side of Shoreline Boule- vard and extending eastward four blocks from and directly north of the Lost Lake site. Over the last 18 months the owner, Balboa Company, has fully leased the structure to different tenants and the last of the eight bays is ? · ! nov undergoing tenant ~mprovements. Building uses range from storage, produc- tion and light assembly, to o[flce activity, immediately north of the subject property is a small sin$1e story law office which is bounded on the north by a single pair of railroad tracks which parallel Shoreline Boulevard to the north for most o[ its length. The tracks form the northern boundary for all uses off the north side of ghorellne Boulevard including the municipal parking lot which is located east of the First Hinnesota facility. The [and uses on the southern side of Shoreline are primarily convenience retail and service in nature. On the immediate east side of the subject site is au undeveloped two-acre parcel owned by Balboa. Theirplans for the property are oriented toward a restaurant user, but they wontt undertake a specific development plan before Hound's de- velopment decision for the subject property is reached. A Super America gaso7 line and convenience store is east of the Balboa parcel and continuing two blocks further east are several free-standing businesses and a neighborhood retail center including tenants offering groceries, liquor, cards and gifts, a restaurant (Captain Billy's), and a beauty salon. The last business on this portion of Shoreline is the free-standing Hardee's restaurant. In s,m~,ary, the Lost Lake site is somewhat disconnected from its surrounding commercial neighborhood. Its location on Shoreline Boulevard means a high traffic volume Passing the. site, which may make-access in and out of the sub- ject property inc6nvenient. The existing uses surrounding the Lost Lake site are diverse and do not provide any specific sBpport in terms of a theme on which Lost Lake development could build. Access to the site is limited to motor vehicles because there are currently no sidewalks and walking distance from any retail development, either to the east or west, is about two blocks. Although Balboa has plans for additional landscaping for their property, the industrial character of their building will always be evident. Although the subject site is located on Lost Lake, this does not offer substantial beuefit because the lake is essen.~!al!y a marsh-Ilke wetlan~ and doesu't presently offer direct boating access to Coo~'s Bay or other .points ou Lake Hinnetouka. DEMOGRAPHIC REVIEW Introduction We have examined general populatlou characteristics for the people livhg in the Hound area. This was done to determine the buying power and social makeup of the peoph who most'llkely affect the Lost Lake site. The geographic area that we determined to be important was defined by physlcal barriers, likely consumer travel patterns mud the location of competitive retail hciliths. The Lost Lake study area was defined as a radial area extending four or five mlhs from the subject property. The area's traffic patterns are crlthally influenced by Lake Hinuetouka's shoreline. Conversations with area retaihr8 indicated that the influence area of Hound extends more to the west than the east, again due to the road pattern in the Lake Hinuetonh area. Accordingly, the demographic study area of Lost Lake iuchdes the follow£ug commuuit£es (sho~U ou the accompanyhg graphic) listed from east to west: Oromo (part) Minnetonka Beach Navarre ~pring Park Hound Minnetristra St. Bom/fac/us This section .includes tabhs on population, household and employment growth trends, age distribution of the populatlon as of 1980, household type as of 1980, household tenure and income and occupation categories. All projections for populatlon, households., and employment were provided by the Hetropolitan Council. . Comparisons are made to suburban Hennepin County" ~Ch encompasses all of the county except for Minneapolis. The Metro Area includes the seven counties over which the Metropolitan Council has jurisdiction. Those seven counties are Hennepin, Carver, Scott,-Dakota, Ramsey, Anoka and Washington counties. Population Growth Tabh I llsts the population for the study area in 1970 and 1980 with a 1986 estimate and a 1990 forecast. The study area had just over 17,000 people in 1980, which is an 8 percent increase from 1970. The study area is forecasted to grow by about 600 peoph in the 1980's, to around 17,600 by 1990, which reflects a growth rate of about 3.5 percent. The 1986 estimates indicate that the growth projections are realistic although they may prove to be'somewhat understated. Growth in the 1970's was generally located in Mound where 1,708, or about 70 percent of the area's net 2,444 person increase occurred. However, today very little area remains available for additional development in Mound and this is reflected by the fiat growth projected through 1990. Minneto%ka Beach and Spring Park are also mature communities and accordingly are not expected Co experience any significant growth during the 1980's. Minnetrista and St. Boni- facius have the available land to accommodate development but growth is expect- ed to be slow as Minnetrista is projected to increase by only 8 percent (264 people) in the 1980's. St. Bonlfaclus will add more than a quarter to its size but because of its small base the actual number is just short of the growth projected for Minnetrista.

The growth that will occur will be located in Minuetrlsta and St. Bonifacius, but this growth will add only about 60 people to the area per year during the 1980's according to the 1990 forecast. Household Growth Table 2 shows the actual number of households in each community within the Lost Lake study area for both 1970 and 1980 as well as a projected figure for 1990. Household figures have a more direct impact on the economic growth and strength of an area, and are more important than population numbers because each household represents a separate unit for spending, borrowing and savings. In 1980, the study are~ had about 6,068 households, which was 1;650 households, or 37 percent more than in 1970. By 1990, the study area is forecast to have 6,850 households which is 790 households, or 13 percent more than in 1980. The study area's growth rate matched suburban Hennepin County during the 1970's, but is projected to be growing at a much slower rate than suburban. Renne- pin County and the metropolitan area during the 1980's. Hound showed the largest absolute growth of households in each decade. For the 1980's, Hound's projected 316 addltional households represent 40 percent of the arenas 790 additional unica. Although the percentage growth for the area is 13 percent, that gr°WCh translates Co only 79 new households per year in the study area on an absolute basis. The esClmated 1986 household figure indicates as with the population growth Chat the 1990 projecclon is realistic, although it may prove to be slightly underestimated.

Social and economic changes which began in the 1960's have caused this trend since more people are living alone ,(delayed mar- riages and more divorces), and families are having fewer children or no chil- dren at a11. Although these trends are expected to continue, they will have a smaller effect ou average household size since the "baby boom" generation has started to form families and have children while at the same time the divorce rate is level[nE off. EmploTment Growth · The number of households, and people living in the area is equally important to the area's economy as the n~nber qf people working in the area. Table 3 shows actual employment in the study area for 1970 and 1980 and a projected 1990 employment estimate. The Lost Lake study area experienced a loss of 280 workers during the 19?O's and for the 1980's an increase of 180 workers is expected. The closing of both of Tonka's manufacturing facilities in Mound and Spring Park occurred in 1984. Officials have estlm~.ted that during Tonka's peak manufacturing season over the s,-.,.~er, they employed a total of 1,500 workers which included 800 workers who were employed year-round. It was also estimated that of the total number of workers only 150 lived in Mound. The redevelopment of the Mound facility by Balboa has restored many jobs, but the companies located there now are less labor intensive, 'Spring Park's Advance Industries, which manufactUres floor care equipment, is in the process of consolidat'ing their manufacturing and executive offices in a move to Plymouth by March 1987, which will relocate all 450 jobs from their Spring Park location. Advance estimates that 35 percent of the Spring Park employees live in the Lost Lake study area. TABLE 3 STUDY AREA EMPLOYMENT Change Change Forecast 1970-1980 1980-1990 1970 1980 1990 No. Pct.

Mound's study area had 7.5 percent more married couple households than in the Metro Area with the specific numbers being 65.5 percent versus 58 percent, respectively. , TABLE 5 STUDY AREA HOUSEHOLD TYPE 1980 Total House- Holds Minnetonka Beach/ Navarre (Orono-pt.)/ Sprin$ Park 1,424 ---Non-Family--- Other Living Room- Alone mates 386 105 Mound 3,384 669 217 Minnetris ts/ St. Bonifacius '1~255 118 48 Total 6,063 Suburban Hennepin- County 203,678 1,173 370 (19.3%) (6.1%) 40,279 11,436 (19.81) (5.6I) Metro Area 721,444 176,754 46,173 (24.5%) (6.4%) Family Married Married Couple/No Couple w/ Other Children Children Family 65 ~nd Over 441 373 119 244 967 1,209 322 457 400 585 104 1,808 2,167 545 (29.8%) (35.7%) (9.0%) 62,237 70,209 19,517 (30.6%) (34.5%) (9.6%) 191,904 226,533 80,080 (26.6%) (31.4%) (11.1%) 168 869 26,659 178,697 Source: Bureau of the Census, 1980 U.S. Census of Population and Rousing Maxfleld Research Group, Inc. Household Tenure Table 6 shows the household breakdown between rented and o~-aed residences. There are considerable differences within the study area. In the eastern muni- cipalities only about 60 percent of the residents owned their homes in contrast to 90 percent in the western municipalities. Within Mound itself, which con- tains 56 percent of the study area households, the distribution of 74 percent o~mership is a little higher than suburban Rennepin County's ?3 percent. The 74 percent ownership ia Mound is ? percent higher than the metropolitan area's 67 percent.

Income Data Table 7 shows the estimated average disposable income for the study area. The estimate for the study area .was derived by applying the percentage change for Hennepin County from 1979 to 1986 to the study area's 1979 income figure which yielded the current income estimate. Income is obviously the source of buying power that prominently affects consumer behavior, demand for municipal serv- ices, etc. It is important to note that the income figures are given per household unit versus per worker or per family. Roughly there are 1.4 workers per household ia the Metro Area. For 1986, there is a $18,100 difference between the highest average income of $54,300 found in the eastern municipalities of the study area and the lowest which was Mound's average of $36,200. As a whole, the study area's estimated average income is $2,000 below that of suburban Hennepin County. However, the study area is $5,800 higher than the .$37,400 estimated average for the Metro Area.

Table 8 shows the percentage distribut£on of households in the study area by household income. Within the study area the most notable contrast among the three areas shows Mound as having a smaller amount of high-end households in comparison to its bordering municipalities as well as suburban Hennepin County. The study area as a whole has about the same distribution as suburban Heune- pin County, although the study area indicates a slight edge at the higher end of the income distribution.

COHI'IgRC IAL IISE Introduction Mound's commercial space, which includes office, restaurant, and retail use, is generally located along either Shoreline Boulevard or both north and south of Shoreline Boulevard along Commerce Boulevard. Thereis a broad mixture of properties both by use and age along Shoreline Boulevard from County Road 19 on the east to Commerce BoUlevard on the west. Ceuerally the properties are smaller, free standlng'buildings that contain one to three users, and are at least 20 years old. Newer properties include the Shoreline Shopping Center, and the Hardee's and Country Kitchen restaurants which are three to seven years old. In downtown Mound, Shoreline Boulevard divides Commerce Boulevard into the South Commerce and North Commerce areas. The railroad tracks just north of au4 parallel to Shoreline create a physical barrier which further tends to separate North Commerce from South Commerce. This section will inventory the co,~,~ercial uses in and around Mound as part of the analysis of whether the Lost Lake site is suited for commercial develop- ment. 'It is important to realize that demand'for commercial space is derived from any of three'sources: o Existing businesses that may be physically or functionally obsolete. o Providers of a product previously not offered in a market. o Increases of purchasing power accruing from population growth. New space alone does not create new customers or new buying power. Rather, any new commercial product redistributes business outlets and consumer patronage. Because consumer behavior traits were used to define the Lost Lake demographic study area, the same boundaries are used to define the subject property's prime commercial area for retail and off{ce use. Along.wi~h the Wayzata and Excel- slot areas~ Mound is one of'the three commercial areas that serve the Lake Min- netonka area. Later in this study Mound's commercial market is compared and contrasted to the other two areas. Our analysis reviews both retail and office space, including speclalty retail, health clubs and movie theaters. Retail Development As mentioned prevlously, most of the retail businesses in the Lost Lake area are located along Shorellne Boulevard or Cor~erce Boulevard and generally offer convenience goods to the Westonka community versus the other areas of the Lake Minnetonka region. The two newest retail properties are in the North Com- merce area. The larger is the recently completed Commerce Place which will eventually provide ney space to three prominent Mound businesses. 'The Mound Medlcal Clinic (16,700 square feet) and the Snyder Drug Store (8,800 square feet) moved in early October. A new.10,250 square foot facility for the Mound State Bank will also be built on the old clinic site. The new bank is sched- uled for completion by next spring. In addition to these major tenants~ there are 12,500 square feet of retail space in the center. To date two tenants have been signed. The second retail property on North Commerce is the redevelolment of Ch. former Super Valu Store located just south of Commerce Place. The space has been subdivided into four smaller bays since becoming vacant when the supermarket relocated two blocks east on Shoreline Boulevard to become the main tenant in the Shoreline Shopping Center. Three tenants currently occupying the center include the Lake West Pharmacy (which was relocated by the impending demolition of the old clinic building), a laundromat, and a convenience food mart. The four bays total about 6,000 square feet. The opening of Commerce Place, which includes the moving of the bank and Shy- der's, as well as neighboring redeVelopment, will likely shift the focus of Mound's downtown retail area to North Commerce although South Commerce still offers 18 businesses within the two blocks south of Shoreline. These busines~- es are provided parking from two off-street parking areas which total 75 spaces. To date there are no South Commerce businesses besides the bank and drug store that have agreed to relocate into Commerce Place. Those businesses who either own their own buildings or lease aC low rental races cite the higher base rent and operating expenses aa reasons for not moving. Commerce Place's net rents are quoted at $10 per square foot with $3.75 per square foot in pro- jected operating expenses. North Commerce is-separated from South Commerce not only by its new buildings, but'also physically by the railroad tracks. 'As'a result, pedestrians face au inconvenient two block walk in going between these two areas. In addition, Mound's downtown shops tend to be spread out from one another because they are oftentimes located on just one side of the street. This linear pattern of Ch, retail area differs from Ch, clustered shape found in downtown Excelsior, where the rectangular shopping area is more convenient for pedestrians. The table which follows lists the different shopping centers throughout the competitive area including the various types of major and minor tenants. The numbers associated with each Cente'~ correlate t!.c~_.graphic which follows the listing. Although indicated on the map, the downtown businesses for Mound, Excelsior and Wayzata were not inventoried. TABLE 10 COMPETITIVE RETAIL AREAS Map Key .... ~.L~TOR TENANTS .....

Specialt7 Retail Specialty retail was a specific use that this study was asked to review. The concept of specialty retail has come to mean many things ranging from high priced fashion goods to off-price factory outlet items. For this study the term will be taken to include the sequent offering distinctive merchandise ranging from clothing to household decorative items sold in boutique-like shops. Because specialty retail serves different needs than does convenience or shop- pets goods, people shop differently for specialty goods. People buy conveni- ence goods for day-to-day needs much more frequently and while doing so want to spend a minimumamouut of time. Shoppers goods like appliances and other more durable goods cost much more, and accordingly, people tend to spend more time and effort to obtain a satisfactory balance between price and desired features or brand name. With specialty retail, however, the interplay of time and price differs. The aesthetics associated with specialty shopping become at least as important as the utility of the items purchased. People tend to take longer while shopping for specialty items and do it more leisurely. There is a willingness to drive longer distances. Because of this, many people want to eat and drink as part of the trip. Due to the special nature of the trip, people are less price con- scious. Shoppers for specialty items usually have higher disposable incomes. In addition, specialty retail areas are often designed and located to attract tourists and travelers, who are likely to spend more than when they are at Specialty retail areas are sized, designed, and located to create an atmosphere that will attract and induce prospective buyers to spend more. Centers are usually ?0,000 to 125,000 square feet in slze, They are sized to provide a greater variety and selection of goods. This variety also works to create a sense of newness and turnover that tends to draw people to return regularly. The minimum size provides space for. d£ffereut types Of stores and goods that complement each other. For example, antiques, decorative accessories, and pieces can work well with each other. Finally, the size allows for a uecessary variety of distinctive restaurants and food stores. In terms of design, specialty retail areas generally fall into oue of two cate- gories. The first focuses ou providing a quaint but impressive atmosphere that will create a comfort level that encourages people to spend more freely. It tau be done as new coustructiou or as renovation of one or several buildings. Design usually plays.upon a historic theme or the heritage of the area. Ban- dana Square located in the abandoned Burlington Northern repair shops in St. Paul is an example of this. To benefit by the aesthetics of a body of water, specialty ~etail centers often are located near either a lake or river. Riverplace iu Hinneapolis was built aloug the'Hississippi River, while St. An- thony Hain is located in rehabilitated warehouse space next to Riverplace. Downtown Stillwater's retail area has ~incorporated all of the above elements. The second type of specialty retail center is less concerned with dramatic or quaint design. They're usually focused on more contemporary design and mer- chandise. Located near regional shopping centers, they are almost always of new construction. Keeping with their specialty the~e, they have expensive interior finishings. Examples are..Bonaveuture near Ridgedale, Pavilion Place near Rosedale, and the several centers around Southdale - the Galleria, Leisure Lane, and the Yorktown Fashiou Hall. Although do~uto~rn Excelsior lacks the mass to be a major specialty area, it is the retail area closest to Hound that has many of the features common to the first of the above two categories. Because the shops are spread over five to six blocks, they offer the necessary variety. The rectangular, gdjaceut city blocks allow the stores to work together to create significant size. Narrow streets, back street parking areas, and sidewalks provide pedestrian conveni- ence. The rehabbed store fronts and sidewalk plantings create an attractive and comfortable atmosphere. The proximity of Excelsior Bay enhances the aes- thetics of the area and finally, Highway ? provides convenient travel for draw- ing upon the large trade area that includes the other western and southern suburbs of the Hetro Area. Lost Lake offers few of the above qualities that are common to successful spe-' cialty retail centers. Its available three acres limits the "buildable" por- tion to a small size that is not able to offer the broad variety necessary to draw shoppers to travel the long distance common to the specialty retail trade area. The limited size of the subject site does not get any relief from the surrounding neighborhood because there is little adjacent land use to provide any support in terms of complementary retail shops. There is als~ limited adjacent expansion area. The site's accessibility is not very convenient to ~..oShose~ ~ people that wo'uld travel out from the Metro mrea's other western suburbs. ~stl~, ~ost ~a~e £tsel~ ~oes ~ot p~o~i~e the st~o~ aesthetic ~eatu~e as would an equivalent sized body of open water. In s,~ry, the subject site lacks a sufficient number of qualities necessary for supporting a specialty retail property. Movie Theater An additional specific use we were asked to review is that of a movie theater. Until the late 1950's' Mound had a theater at Shoreline and Counnerce BoUle- S vards. Wayzata had a 400 seat theater which closed in the fall of 1984. Sev- eral theater chains we contacted indicated that a minimu~nmrket, requires 70,000 people within a five mile area to support a modern day multi-screen facility. The general profile of people that tend to be theater patrons fo- cuses on single people with higher income and education levels. There are already five cineum screens in the I~ke Miunetonka area and several others in the wester~ suburban area. The Excelsior Dock theater offers two screens and total seating of approximately 225 seats. Plitt Theaters, which dominate the west suburban area, offer three screens at their facility located in the Westwinds shopping center in Minnetonka. Their other multi-screen facilities are in' the Ridge Square shopping center (3 screens) and' the Knoll- wood shopping center (4 screens). The last movie theater, Shelard Park (5 screens), is located at the intersection of Highway 12 and County Road 18 with- in the Interchange office Park and is a General Cinema theater. These theaters constitute the western suburban zone which is defined by distri- butors of different films. These companies, versus the theater operators, control the geographic distribution of films. The number of theaters in the metropolitan area has doubled over the last ten years, and in the western sub- urbs the recent addition Of several new theaters virtually eliminates room for any new facilities. ...... .~_ Ail of the theaters are located in developed retail areas or at the intersec- tion of major highways. The Excelsior Dock theater is distinctive from the others because it is independently owned versus the others which'are operated by national or regional theater chains. It also is in an older building within Excelsior's downtown area.. Because the Excelsior Dock is debt free and family run it operates at a break-even point that would not sustain the cost of a new facility nor meet the cost of a market-rate payroll of a chain theater. Besides the theaters already mentioned there is a theater in Delano, but its location is a zone outside the metro area. No operating specifics were avail- able for the Delano facility but it was speculated by Twin cities operators that in such a market of less than 25,000 people it would be very difficult for a theater to operate profitably. In s~ary, it would seem that because of both the current supply of existing theaters, and the cost of construction and operation of a new theater, a thea- ter use of the Lost Lake site would not be economically feasible. Health Club Facility Health clubs have experienced strong grovth on a high profile basis for about the last 15 years. Along vith'thls grovth the industry is turning to larger facilit£es that can offer a broader range of services. The typical ney facili- ty ranges from 18,000 to 40,000 square feet and offers among other thlugs a running track, exercise equipment, a svlmming pool, and racquetball courts. Initially, most clubs vere individually o~ued, but over time several locally o~ued chalus have emerged. .The industry is noted for turnover as clubs often open and later either close or are .sold. Over the last three years several national chains have entered the T~iu Cities area, reflecting the trend tovar~ larger facilities and the need for better capitalized and better menaged opera- tlons. Within the health club industry there is little site selection da~a available, mostly because it is an emerging business that, until the last several years, vas characterized by many small operators. Host existing facilities in the metropolitan area are located in neighborhood shopping centers or other areas offering heavy retail traffic. Many are also located in areas eith high em- ployment concentrations. The closest facility to Hound is the International Fitness Center located in the Westvlnds shopping center in Hiunetonka. The same general site selection factors vhicH '~ertain to retail uses seem also to apply to health clubs. Several local managers indicated that a minimum trade area of at least 60,000 people is required to provide the necessary num- ber of members. In summary, because Hound's trade area is roughly 20,000 peo- ple, it appears that Hound does not have the minimum size to support a health club facility. Office Development The demand for office space in a smaller community is generally less than that for retail. The three sources for office users match the three sources out- lined in the retail section. This section examines the office demand from existing users as yell as the product currently being offered to meet the de- mand. Presently there are tvo projects that offer tenants nevly built office space. $ & J Printing on South Commerce offers approximately 1,800 square feet in its ney building. The Casco Run office building on Shoreline Boulevard now has about 1,000 square feet available since the Herrill Lynch Buruett Realty office of Spring Park announced it rill relocate and lease about 3,600 square feet. The lease to Herrill Lynch brings the building's leased space to approximately 6,300 square feet. Other available space in the area includes 2,200 square feet available for sub-lease in the Koenig, Robin, Johnson and Wood building located at Shoreline and Commerce. Within Balboa's redevelopment of the Tonka Plant, there are about 3,000 square feet available. Further east on Shoreline and across from the Casco Run building is a multi-tenant, two story property which has 1,500 square feet available of its 8,000 square feet. Next spring the~e will be 2,800 square feet available when the Mound State Bank moves to its new facili- ty. Most of the quoted rental rates are in the $7 to $8 per square foot range, which is generally too low to provide a minimum return on the cost of new con- struction. There are no known planned or proposed office properties in the area. For the several reasons meutloued relative to access and demand, Hound has not been recognized as an office submarket. In contrast to other office areas, the Lost Lake site is removed from others in the western suburban submarket. As- suming that some demand for new space existed, that amount would be far less than the amount of pure office which the Lost Lake site could accommodate (35,000 square feet). Incorporating major office uses with other uses in a mid-rise or single story building tends to compromise the tenant's identity and generally is unacceptable. Smaller office users that provide consumer servlc~s such as insurance or real estate businesses often are able Co rent space within retail centers. In conclusion, office use for the Lost Lake site would be an ineffective use because the market cannot absorb the amount of space the site could offer and the market will not support the rental rates which would just- ify the cost of the ~ew construction. LODGING USE In this section we have analyzed Lost Lake's potential for a lodging use. Currently there are no hotel or lodging facilities in Mound or the. surrounding area. Except for the Christopher Inn, which is a bed and breakfast operation located in Excelsior, there are no hotel facilities in either Excels[or or Wayzata. Although located outside the City of Wayzata, there are four hotels that are close to that city. They are the Ridgedale Radisson, located east of the Ridgedale Shopping Center; the Plymouth Radisson and Plymouth Holiday Inn, located at the intersection of Interstate 494 and Highway 55; and the Medina Motor Inn which is located on Highway 55 approximately one-quarter mile west of Highway 101. The single hotel that is located closest to Excelsior is the 66-room Chauhasseu Inn which is located at the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 5. As demonstrated, Mound does not have the business generators that typically support a traditional hotel facility. Generally hotels derive about 75 percent of their lodging revenues from business users; -Conversations with businesses in Balboa,s building iud[cate they don't need overnight lodging because they have headquarters elsewhere or because their ~a~kets and products don't requi~e suppliers or customers to travel. On the other hand, Mound and its surrounding area, including Wayzata and Excel- sior, seem to need a non-business lodging facility that would cater to local and tourist lodglng needs. Many times residents need accommodations for out- of-town guests. People we talked to said that the Hopkins House and those hotels listed above are often used °nly because they are the closest. There are two types of hOspitalitY'facilities that.pan be oriented to this non- business, non-commercial market segment. They are small hotels or country inns, and bed andbreakfast operations. Country inns differ from bed and breakfasts because they open their food and beverage facilities to the general pvblic versus bed and breakfasts' practice of serving overnight guests only. In addition, bed and breakfasts often are re-uses-of older, more dramatic homes as opposed to new facilities as would be required for the subject site. These distinctions leave'only the country inn as'an appropriate hospitality use that will be considered for the Lost Lake site. There are only three comparable country inns located iu the metro area. Two are re-uses Of older buildings that were formerly lodging places. These two are the Lowell Inn in Stillwater and Shumachers located in New Prague. A new facility was built for the White Bear Country Inn which offers 92 rooms and is located on Highway 61, two blocks north of White Bear Lake's downtown area. The White Bear Inn generates one-third of its lodging revenues from local peo- ple and vacation travelers, while the remaining two-thirds comes from business guests and a miscellaneous category that is generated by the inn's location on the highway. Based on the White Bear Inn's size and that two-thirds of its lodging business comes from guest segments unavailable to the Lost Lake site, it is assumed that this size facility would be unappropriate for Mound and that the size suited for a country inn on Lost Lake would be 25 to 30 'units, or roughly one-third the size of the White Bear Country Inn. It is also assumed that the subject inn would offer restaurant and bar facilities as well as ban- quet space for meetings and receptions, etc.. Although the Hound market is deemed smaller for lodging and thought able to only support 25 to 30 rooms, the market is believed capable of supporting a restaurant and bar area that would seat 90 to 120 people and banquet space sized between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet. The White Bear Country Inn, because of its location, surrounding neighborhood, municipal location, and market area is deemed to be the most useful as a com- parable in relating the country gnu concept as a potential use for Lost Lake. The White Bear inn is located and was designed to draw upon the local traffic within the White Bear Lake area. It opened in 1984. In contrast to the in- dustry average of 20 percent of revenue derived from the tourist and local segment, this inn averages approximately 33 percent. Their food and beverage volume exceeds the industry average of 30 to 35 percent of total revenues. Shumachers is less useful as a comparable than the White Bear Country Inn but is better than the Lowell Inn. It is located in New Prague which is approxi- mately a 45 minute drive from Mound and requires a longer drive from most other points in the metropolitan area. It has fewer, if any, supporting shops or businesses in its _neighborhood since it is virtually the only traveler destina-' tion point in the city. There are no signifi.ca.nt aesthetics provided it by either water or land forms. In these areas the Lost Lake site is superior to Shumacher ' s locat ion. Because Shumachers operates in a very old building, it offers a great deal of warmth and charm. Because a new building would be built on the Lost Lake site, this heritage would be missing, but a distinctive design may compensate for that. Nevertheless, Shumachers demonstrates that effective management and advertising are essentlal for a successful country inn. The Lowell 'inn has the fewest number of comparable qualitles in contrast with the Lost Lake site. The Lowell Inn has been in business since 1900 and has a very long, well recognized reputation for its quaint atmosphere and surround- ings. The Lowell Inn's location in the heart of Stillwater's do .wntown and its proximity to the specialty shopping traffic allows both of those uses to com- plement each other. Both the retail shops and the Lowell Inn benefit from Stillwater's character as an old river town located on the St. Croix River. Because of Mound's lay-out and its types of businesses, the kind of commercial synergy the Lowell Inn enjoys does not exist between the Lost Lake site and the surrounding land uses. Because of the Lowell Inn's age and heritage, its structure and connection with downtown Stillwater and the city's retail area, the Lowell Inn is not a very useful model for reviewing a country inn concept for the Lost Lake site. HOUSING USE Rental Market At the time of the 1980 Census, approximately 25 percent of study area house- holds rented their housing, compared with approximately one-t~ird of metro area households. In Mound,.27 percent of all households rented their housing, simi- lar to the study area as a whole. ~ A significant 40~percent of households rent- ed their housing in Spring Park/Navarre/Minuetonka Beach. At the time of the' 1980 Census, the rental vacancy rate in Mound was 2.5 percent. Currently, we estimate a vacancy rate of approximately 3.5 percent, based on August data from the Apart~aent Guide (a private company which monitors the rental market) as well as our survey of representative rental complexes ia the study area (Table 11). This rate of vacancy is considered below the normal 5 percent which could be expected in a healthy rental market to accommodate normal turn- over and to give reuters product options. This below 5 percent vacancy level is one indication of a market need for additional rental housing in Mound. Deveiopmeut Lord Fletcher Apts. Edgewater Apts. Grandv£ewApts. ShoreviewApts.

Interviews with resident managers at rental complexes in the study area found that the typical building profile is weighted to au older population group. All managers interviewed estimate that at least half to two-thirds of their residents are 50 years old or older. Senior couples dominate the ~euter pro- file, followed by single (mostly widowed) persons. The balance of reuters falls into a young to mid-age category. This older renter profile is in con- trast to the sllghtly younger demographic profile of all households in the study area. The majority of these older renters are long-tlme residents of the immediate area, according to.resident managers. Many have lived in these buildings for several years and many moved from single-family homes in the area. s Virtually no new rental development has occurred in Mound or in the study area as a whole in recent years. This is mainly due to a lack of available land, reflected in household growth trends, which show a small 13 percent rate si growth [rom 1980 to 1990, compared w£th a metro area estimate of 18 percent growth in this same time period. Mound's household base is expected to grow by over 300 households from 1980 to 1990. However, in a fully developed commun- ity, it should be noted that growth is also a function si available land /or addit£onal housing development. Because of the age o[ bu£1diugs, rental rates in Mound are below the average o[ mlddlemarket buildings in the greater metro area. To be competitive, a new building in Mound would have to be positioned to the middle market. A "luxury" or upper-bracket rental product would not be appropriate, given the demographic profile of study area households, the positioning of most buildings in the area as well as the removed location si the Lost Lake site [rom Lake Minuetonka shoreline. However, a new middle-market building offering updated designs and archltectural detailing, and floor plans that si/er contemporary use si space, would be attractive to those living in older buildings who have not had a choice to move-up because of the lack of new product. A new rental building in Mound would accommodate natural growth sinew house- holds that would otherwise locate in other s~.udY area communities because of a lack of housing. For-Sale Market According to Realtors in the area, the recent home sale market has been good in the Mound/Spring Park/Navarre market area. Entry level homes ($60,000 to $90,000) have been the best sellers and have the shortest marketing time. There is a limited market for. homes over $100,000 in this area; however, there are areas of Mound/Minnestrista which have been.developed with luxury scale homes appealing to those who want to be near the lake or desire a rustic subur- ban setting. According to sales-agents and brokers, entry-level home buyers, ~ainly couples and small families, come to the Mound/Spring Lake/Navarre area because they perceive the ability to.bUy more home [or the money than is possible in areas closer to Highway 12 - Interstate 494. These buyers are willing to drive an extra 10 to 15 minutes to their work place.s in order to have an affordable home on or near Lake Minnetonka. In contrast to the single-family home market, the condominium market in this area continues to be very soft. On6 example of the soft market iS Bayview condominiums, located in Spring Park. Bayview was originally a rental building but converted to for-sale condominiums in 1984. Only 15 units had sold by February 1986. The continued soft market resulted in the developer reverting back to renting the units in early summer 1986. (However, the sales agent for Bayview indicated they fully intend to remarker the project as for-sale, begin- ning in October; after construction to combine some units is complete.) Anoth- er example is the Chapman Place development on cook's Bay, in Mound. This project is located on the site of the former Surfside restaurant/marina. Chap- man Place, which has 27 condominium units, began marketing in June 1985 for April 1986 occupancy. To date, 14 units have been sold, according to the de- veloper. Prices of $95,000 to $190,000 position these homes to'an affluent audience. To date, all buyers have been empty-nester couples, and about three- fourths lived in the Westouka area, although there have been a few buyers from outside the Lake Minnetouka area. The developer commented that the product has been reasonably well-received but feels Chat many of the prospective buyers did hoc perceive a Mound address to be as desirable as east lake communities/bay areas because of conveuieuce and amenities. A real estate agent selling in the Mound/Spring Park/Navarre area agreed, commencing Chat Mound does not have the same appeal as the Wayzata/Excelsior area, and that high priced produce in Mound does hOC draw as.well because. Chose who can afford high priced homes look first at areas in the eastern end of Lake Minnetonka. In general, it appears that the condomlnlummarket is very soft. Although the condominium market has improved somewhat recently, due to lower interest races, there is a very limited demand for this type of product in Sales agents aC Lake Minnetonka condominium projects agree thaC the market has not improved with lower interest rates, and thaC the markeCing time for condo- miniums, parClcularly luxury unlCs, has been couslderably longer than could be expected in a strong'for-sale market. Resale data also poinCs Co a weak mar- keC; as many projects have not held their value in the market. One example is' Excelsior Bay Cables, where units originally Selling for $190,000 to $305,000 are being resold for $30,000 or more under th~ ~riginal price, in many cases. Based on the glut of these units in the Twin Cities, and weak sales in Lake MinneConka area, we would hOC recommend development of another condominium project in Mound. Even if the market improved, the subject sloe would hoc be appropriate for Chess units, as lC does not have strong enough amenities, and is in a commercial-dominant area rather than residential. There is nothing special or unique Co the sics thaC would make lC desirable to buyers. Renters, however, are less concerned with site amenities,, and are more interested in building features and in,unit, amen. iCies. Views of Lost Lake would be an amen- icy chat would create value.for a rental building on.~this site. In summary, lC has been suggested Chat the lack of new rental housing and a low (below 5 percent) vacancy race in the market area signal a need for additional rental development in Mound; The lack of available land for new rental con- sCrucCion has meant thaC households which would have located in Mound have had to look elsewhere.. In addition, the absence of new units could also be preventing many senior and elderly homeowners who are ready Co shed the responsibilities of ownership, from relocating to rental housing. Rental housing continues to be preferable to home o~nership for many seniors, as demonstrated by the reneer profile of many area buildings. By bringing new uniCs on-line, the market could absorb some of the senior demand and at the same time free up homes for younger cou- ples and families interested in buying in the area. Rental housing also acts as an incubator for long-term household growth in the community, by providing those new to the area an opportunity to try out the community before making the commitment of buying a home. Thus, a new rental building can be a significant factor in fosCeuing continued household growth, which in turn would stimulate the local economy by adding to the tax base and to retail sales. It tau serve both young entry-level house- holders and seniors, as well as others who prefer renting to o~mlng for Ii[e- style considerations. In conclusion, we feel the market can support a new rental building in Hound. The subject site is virtually the only one left for new development. Though it may not be ideally suited for residential construction, it does offer some qualities which lend themselves to rental housing. It is a highly visible site, and is convenient to a variety si goods and services. An attractive ney rental building would enhance the image of th~ immediate area, and the views of Lost Lake would also provide a desirable site amenity. It is on a nmin east- west throughfare which connects directly to Highway 12, making it convenient to major employment centers as well as a regional shopping area. These attributes will make the site marketable to both developers and potential renters. PARK AND RECREATIONAL USE A decision to use Lost Lake for park and recreational use would be based on criteria different than those influencing supply and demand w/thin.the private sector. To identify Mound's priorities for park and recreation, the city's Comprehensive Plan was reviewed to provide some guidelines. These priorities and the degree to which they have been met are discussed following several general comments. There are few supporting cost-benefit factors for 9sing the subject site as a park. If developed as a recreational facility, the city of Mound would lose the site's potential to boost the tax base. Furthermore, th~ cost to develop and maintain the site as a park are costs that would have to be funded from the city's budget. When the comprehensive plan was written in 1979, approximately 10 percent of the city's land was classified by use as park and recreational. This ranked third only to the 65 percent in residential use and the 15 percent as vacant laud. The park and recreational use totaled 152 acres which included 30 acres at three school sites. This parkland inventory further was subdivided into active (playground and playfields) and passive (picnic and nature areas) com- ponents. Excludipg the three school sites, the'active component contained three categories of which community parks contained only the Mound Bay Park (4.6 acres), while there were nine nelghborh°~"playgrounds totaling 7.5 acres, and four neighborhood parks totaling ll.7 acres. The three school sites add 30 acres of park use available to Mound residents but they are under the juris- diction of the school board. Generally the park and recreation planning prior- ities have been directed toward maintaining more parks of smaller size than creating fewer but larger facilities. Since the Comprehensive Plan was done, there have not been any acquisitions nor any development programs except for the relocation of the old railroad depot to. Mound Bay Park. As would be expected from Mound's extensive shoreline on Lake Minnetonka, water recreation is a main influence on and component of the parkland program. The Commons Program provides an annual drawing for one year dock leases open to Mound residents and property owners that allow them the exclusive use of a dock on Lake Minnetonka for the respective season. The Commons Program is unusual for the Lake area because of the high number of slips relative to Mound's popu- lation and the low. cost for the dock rights. The program offers '400 slips spread intermittantly over 4.5 miles of sh°rellne. It seems to be reasonably satisfying the community's needs because annually there are only about 40 more applications received than there are available slips. Some Common's areas are not yet developed and might provide for future expansion. One area that seems likely to develop soon is located on the east shore of Lost Lake, just north of Bartlett Boulevard. Iu general, the amount and quality of Mound's park aud recreational facilities seem to be adequate in providing for the city's needs. The Comprehensive Plan outlines some national averages defined for different park uses in terms of acres needed per one thousand people. If the 30 acres of school sites are included, the amount of park area meets the standards for the three categories listed in the first paragraph of this section.' Because it would be located on the busiest street in Mound, a park on the Lost Lake site, if selected, would most likely be focused for use by the Mound cou~nunity versus an individual neighborhood. ~ts being flat and lacking any landscaping favors the site to be developed as au active playfield. The sub- ject site size would limit the amount and range of facilities. The three acres would probably not allow for much more than a ball diamond, tennis courts, and associated parking, as well as some passive use. Because the subject site borders the canal loop, any park design should provide some access to Lost Lake [or Mound's residents. At a minimum level, parking and a dock would likely use the remainder of the site when added to the play- field facilities described above. An alternative lake access point other than that situated on the canal might be located at the west end of May~ood Road. However, this alternative would require extensive dredging, filling and other development. ~hether this is permissible on environmental grounds or feasible based on cost would be the subject of further study. This work might be the first step in developing Lost Lake as a nature preserve as proposed several years ago, In 1974, a three phased development plan for a preserve in Lost Lake was formu- lated. Its first phase would have created a 1,600 foot walking pathway from a trail head and pa~king area located off of B~rt~ett Boulevard within the area that the Lost Lake Subdivision has been developed. Later phases would have involved some dredging to create a water trailway system which would have pro- vided access into Lost Lake via a small number of pontoon boats. The final phase proposed a 6,000 square foot building which would provide for a museum and auditorium. Because of limited funds, no work on the above plan was ever undertaken. As the Lost Lake Subdivision has elimlnated that area for parking, the ocher conceivable access points to Lost Lake are from the canal loop off of Shoreline Boulevard or from Mayvood as mentioned above. In summary, the Lost Lake site has some qualities that would support it as a recreational facility, but such a selection is felt to be an underutilization. First, the size of Mound's parkland system seems to be adequately meeting the city's needs. Changes and upgrades to Mound's existing facilities, as opposed to expansion, are the priority as expressed in the Comprehensive Plan and sec- onded by peopleTM comments. Access to Lake Minnetonka seems adequately provid- ed by the Commons Program which holds some undeveloped land that could be used to satisfy increased demand. Secondly, the site seems better suited for pri- vate development because of its location on Shoreline Boulevard and the predom- inant commercial use of the surrounding area. In sunnnary, if private develop- ment proves to be impossible, then park use for the subject site would be rec- ommended. A /17 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Having reviewed all the factors outlined in Chis report, we feel that there are two private business uses that have likely potential to succeed if. developed on the Lost Lake site. The two alternatives are either mid-market priced apart- ments or a country inn. I third alternative would be to develop the site as a park and recreational area. These two recommended private uses are discussed following a review of .other uses that were evaluated. In addition to the above, we researched general retail, specialty retail, and' office uses for this feasibility in conjunction with the Lost Lake site. None of them were recommended for a lack of any unsatisfied demand or because of site and neighborhood factors. Either there is au insufficient demand for a product that is not presently available or current demand is stable and is being met by the existing supply. Additlonal general retail space was not considered feasible because of the amount of available space currently available. There is available space in older buildings as well as nearby finished properties. Currently there are 10,200'square feet of retail space available in Commerce Place and 8,000 square feet proposed fOr'the Shoreline Center. It is. anticipated that this amount of space will take several years to absorb. Specialty retail was not recommended because of the site's limited size and a lack of complementary support from the surrounding area. Office use was unreasonable because of a lack of businesses that would need that amount or qualicy of new space or be willing to pay the rents required to provide a reasonable return on the project costs. Either of the two recommended private uses would allow for developments that could incorporate attractive designs that would maximize the subject site's location, access, and aesthetic qualities. However, they differ in respect to their level of business risk exposure. Also, theiz, economic and community benefit would impact Hound differently both in amount and area. The apartauent alternative seems to have the lesser risk and greater economic benefit to Hound. Relative'to risk of market acceptance there is a clear de- mand for new apartments. The area's vacancy rate is low, and most of the ex- isting apartment projects are older. The lack of other buildabli sites in the area has created a pent-up demand for a newer building of more contemporary design. The lack of any other available sites will also deter any competing new projects from adding too many new units for the market. The impact of au apartment use for Lost Lake would provide broader economic and community benefit to Hound. The city has indicated that 100 to 120 units could possibly be built on the Lost Lake site. If a mid-range of 110 units is assum- ed, the housing alternative would add 110 households to Mound's ec6nomic base, a 3 percent increase. Their spending would immediately be a benefit for Mound's local businesses as well as its tax base. New apartments would benefit the community in providing new housing that would enable new residents to move into the city. 01der reslden~s living in single-family homes and who want to move into rental housing would be able to stay in Hound. Their moving would free-up ~helr homes to younger, growing families whose settling i~ Hound would provide growth to the area. The country inn alternative has a higher risk to a success. Because there are so few comparable facilities there are fewer models on which to base a market . re only three inns located in the metro area and each has its analysis_ There a - - .... ,- :nn located on the Lost Lake site · ue location and market se~neu~. ~- ' - - --~:-h uound's own un~ ~ ^.l~ ' ' could draw users zrom a very ~arge area w..~ ,-, . would suttee .... jzf ~t Businesses aren't able to do presently. An inn requires very active, experi- enced, and effective management and anything less would likely lead to an successful operation which would impact the image of the area· Lake Minneton- ka's use of such an inn is uncertain, but conservatively viewed, it is likely that the area would not support two such facilities.' The opening of another country inn on the eastern end of the Lake would very likely hurt one located on Lost Lake. The seasonal patterns to Lake Minnetonka's recreational trade would be another threat to the inn's success. A successful country inn on Lost Lake would provide fewer benefits to Mound than would the apartments. The Inn would increase the tax base, but in an amount smaller than would the apartments. If there were other specialty retail and related businesses near the site they might see increased traffic from the inn But that i--'t the case and the inn would operate on its own for the most · °~ nd would derive some public relations benefit that ~ould oart.

In conclusion, the use of the Lost Lake site as a mid-priced market-rate apart- ment project would likely give the City of Mound a development that would have the lowest risk of business failure, utilize the aesthetic amenities of the site's access and proximity to Lost Lake, and Provide the broadest economic benefit to the city and surrounding residents and businesses. $ o
