Committee Reports Page 1296 em we of May 29, 1980 TO: Mayors, Managers, Clerks minnesota (Clerks please distribute the enclosed copies to councilmembers) FROM: David Hozza, Chairman, LMC Building Committee RE: Proposed LMC Building Last year at the annual meeting, Mayor Black, LMC President, charged the LMC Building Committee with bringing back a proposal for an LMC building to this year's convention. After literally years of exploring existing buildings and negotiating with their owners, all of which proved fruitless, the LMC Building Committee and the LMC Board concluded that new construction was the only prudent alternative. The City of St. Paul offered LMC a few potential sites at no cost. With these sites in hand, the Building Committee interviewed and selected architects, the Architectural Alliance East. The goal of the Building Committee was to build a new home for LMC that would be energy efficient, economical to maintain and representative of municipal- ities throughout the state. The purpose of th~s memo is to inform you that the results of the Building Committee and architect's work will be presented to the annual LMC meeting in Duluth. The proposed building would be built using a tax-exempt revenue bond issue. The resulting costs on a per square foot basis, would be about the median market rate in downtown St. Paul today. However, because of LMC ownership and because of substantial savings through energy conservation, this cost would remain stable while market rate rents are expected to rise steadily. Along with the building proposal, different payment or assessment schedules will be pre- sented. The costs will be apportioned on the same basis proportionately that member cities now pay dues. The costs, if they were to be Paid up-front on a lump sum basis, would be about twice the annual dues paid by each member city. The Building Committee has worked long and hard on this proposal, and in order that the committee may share its information with member cities, a special session on the proposed building will be held at the convention in Duluth. Then, whatever formal action might be taken would take place at the annual meeting. Please come to the information meeting to learn more about the building proposal. However, if you have questions before then, please do not hesitate to contact me at home (612-645-7561 or Helen Schendel at the LMC office (612-222-2861). Thank you for your consideration. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Duluth. 300 hanover building, 480 oedar street, saint paul, minnesota 55101 DH:kgj [812) 222-2861 LAW OFFICES CI. AYTON L. L[FEVERE HERBERT P, LEFLER~ CURTIS A.

A tabulation of the bids is attached. Buffalo Bituminous was low bidder at $1,648,803.50. The Engineer's estimate for the work was $2,044.500, therefore the low bid is 19% below the Engineer's estimate. For comparison purposes we applied the 1979 project unit prices to this project and come up with a total of $1,769,400 or 7% above the low bid for this project. Buffalo Bituminous constructed the streets in Shirley Hills Unit B in 1977 and Tuxedo Road in 1978-1979. While the finish product on both these projects was satisfactory, there was a delay on the completion of Tuxedo Road due to a strike. Representatives of Buffalo Bituminous. will be at the Council meeting Tuesday night to answer any questions the Council may have regarding their ability to do this construction. We recommend that the contract for the Section 1, 1980 Street Improvements be awarded to Buffalo Bituminous, Inc.

Leonard Kopp Nay 20, 1980 Page Three We would suggest that the City Council discuss proposed assessment policy changes at a meeting sometime in the near future. While the final decision on policy will not be needed for a while, the'staff is getting a lot of inquiries on pending assessments and it is important that accurate information be available as some mortgage companies are requiring two times the pending assessment be put in escrow when a property is sold.

SCHIEFFER Mr. Len Kopp, City Manager City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Re: Tree Removal Bids Dear Len: This will acknowledge receipt of your note of May 27, 1980. I have reviewed the two proposals for tree removal as submitted. After reviewing these two proposals, it would be my opinion that the Lutz Tree Service, Inc. proposal is not consistent with the City solicitation for bids and it should be disregarded. If I understand what Mr. Lutz has written on the back of his proposal, it is that he is in effect modifying the proposal by bidding nothing on a certain group of trees. He also goes on to in effect enter objections/ in advance indicating that if the City crews remove a Certain number of trees, he will create a scene. I do not believe his proposal is.'consistent with our request and I cannot imagine a court approving or interpreting his bid to mean that a tree 31.9 inches in diameter would cost the City $429 to remove, but a tree 35.9 inches in diameter would be removed free. The total estimated bid price is not a base line on which to award the contract where one of the persons making a proposal has eliminated the unit extension for 80 trees. If Mr. Lutz had wanted, to submit this kind of bid., he should have 'bid $1.00, $5.00 or some nominal amount on that series of trees, but by bidding zero, I believe the whole bid could_ be contested and. should, be thrown out. It is my recommendation that the bid be awarded to Eager Beaver Tree Removal where a unit price has been established for each tree and where ~he proposals have not been in effect conditioned by a long letter attached to the bid. proposal.

Minnetrista-St. Bonifacius asked that they be assigned 5 patrolmen between them and Spring Park asked for two men - 16 hours per day plus general coverage the other 8 hours. Based on that, the Police Chief has outlined a schedule and manpower needs as pointed out on Plan B (copy attached). Based on the plan, a schedule of costs with alternatives was presented to Administrators when they met on Wednesday. The Administrators accepted the Recommended Alternate No. 3 and asked if all ~ities would ask their Councils to tentatively approve or dis- approve as quickly as possible so each City could embark on final approval. Alternat~ No. 3 is recommended, but it is to be pointed out these additional costs are based on 1980 budget figures so they will be higher for 1981. .... i_eonard L.

The building was not removed and the Manager requested informa- tion from the Attorney on how we should proceed to remove the structure.

S I ON tlAS BEEN IMPROVED CONTRARY TO CITY ORDINANCES AND DENYING APPLICATION FOR. VARIANCE WHEREAS, Donald Kempf is the owner of property located at 3100 Island View Drive and consisting of Lots 55 and. 56, Phelps Island Park First. Di.vjsjon~ and WHEREAS, Chapter 462 o{- the Minnesota Statutes authorizes the City Council with the aid and assistance of the City Planning Commission to c~rry out municipal planning activities which guide and .control development and improvements within the comm.,unity, an d WHEREAS, the City has ac/opted a zoning ordinance,' Chapter 23 of the City Code, and the'intention of said ordinance is to correct past errors in platting, building, and land nse ~herein m~ch development took place in the City prior to the adoP.tion of any planning regu. l. ations or planning thought and to direct, aid and assist develo ment on an equal basis throughout the community for present and future development, and WHEREAS~ the City did provide in the Zoning Ordinance for non- conforming uses to protect existing property values .and to meet constitutional requirements protecting the rights of property owners and to prevent the taking of lands or property without the payment of compensation, and WHEREAS, Courts throughout this country have uniformly recognized non-conforming uses as a method of protecting said property rights but Courts and treatises on zoning and planning have uniformly agreed that non-conforming uses may be lost for a variety of reasons, including deterioration, "and WHEREAS, Section 23.20 of the ~[ound Code of Ordinances relates to and provides regulati, ons regarding n ~ ' _. , . on- con ~.ormln~ uses and Section 23.20, Subd. a, of the City Code states in' part as follows: ':The lawful use of a building or premises as of December 20, 1945, may be continued, although such use does not conform to the provisions hereof. Such use may-be exhended through the building provided no structural alterations- are made therein other than those re~,.uired by law or ordinance, or as may be necessary to establish conformity." and WHF. REAS, ~he proPer.ty located at 3100 Island View Drive is a non-conforming use because all s~ruc~ures-are %o be'set back 50 feet from the lake side or front yard set back and the boat house is not located on Lots 55 and 56 but rather is located on an area marked private .~treet on the plat of Phelps Island Park · First Division and is within several feet of the water depending upon the water elevation at the time of measurement, and WHEREAS, council members of their own personal knowledge. and the building inspector have reviewed the area where the boat house is located and makes the following findings: a. A new roof has bee~ installed consisting of plywood and wood hand. split shingles. b. New siding consisting of cedar and ced. ar batten strips has been installed and provision has been made for electrical and/or telephone extensions to the structure. c.. The structure is located so close to the lake that .it does not conform with city regulations or with regulations of the ~4innehaha Creek Watershed District. d. A new metal door and. glass side light have been' installed. e. A new chimney and. presumably a new stove have ~een · installed. New interior wall surfaces, subfloor, etc. have been installed along wit]] a Franklin free standing wood burning stove, and. all of the aforementioned improvements have been ma~e without obtaining a building permit from the City and the applicant did not apply for such building permit until after it was discovered that ~his work had been done or at least a large part of it had been done, and WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Assessor acting as the City Assessor informs the Council that the beach house or boat house described on a Certificate of Sur~ey as of November 13, 1970, was not listed on the tax rolls until 1973 and that at that time had. a valuation of $500. The value was decreased to $200 in 1975, and in ].976 it was determined to have no value. The assessor further, advises that in lieu of the repairs and structural work on the boat house structure, it was their intention to put a valuation of $500 on it and to add it back onto the tax rolls, and / WHEREAS, 'it is th'e intention of the City ordinances and the rules and regulations of the Minnehaha %'~atershed District and the Lake Minne%onka Conservation District to correct these old encro~.chments on the lake and by the use of non-conforming uses to eventually bring all of these structures into compliance with currect regulations, and WHEREAS, the boat house (beach house) locate~ at 3100 Island View Drive is and was a non-conforming use and should, be relocated to comply with existing ordinances and regulations and the owner has seen fit to improve and add many new structural 'improvements to this use, all in violation of City ordinances and regulations; NOW, THEREFORE, BE I~ RESOLVED By the City Council o'f .the City of Mound: ' ' 1. The structure located on the private street easterly of Lots 55 and 56 of Phelps Island Park First Divis|on was and is a non-conforming use and. has been structurally improved contrary to the. provisions of Section 23.20, Subd. a of the City Code. 2. The apDlicant's request for a variance to in effect condone and approve the reconstruction work on this non-conforming use is hereby denied based on the following findin, gs: The age of the structure is unknown, and the condition of it prior to recent years is unknown, because the City never ]]ad an opportunity to inspect or catalogue' the structure. The applicant has created his owh.hardship by illegally proceeding to repair and. reconstruct m~..jor structural changes throughout the building in question without obtaining a building permit. The Building Inspector has estimated that between $2,000 and $3,000 of improvements have been made to this structure in recent time without any building permit contrary to Section 26.01 of the Mound City Code and Section 104 and Section 301 of the state building code. The property is a non-conforming use in that the structure in question is located too close to Lake Minnetonka and the request for a lake front set back of a minim~.nn distance is contrary to tho zoning ordinances of the City and does not conform to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District or the Minnehaha Watershed District reg, ulations. The e×tensive repair work on this structure is considered struct~lral changes within the provisions of~ Section 23.20 of the City Code. f. It is the finding and determination of this Council that based upon the fact situation as set forth in the ~.~hereas provisions of this Resolution, the~ applicant's current problem was created by the applicantis failure to comply with City and District rules and regulations prior, to the time 'he commenced making repairs. 3. It is a further finding of this Council ~hat the application for a variance should be and. is hereby denied because the granting of the variance would have an adverse and. detrimental affect on the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, would be contrary to City ord. inances, and would perpetuate and extend a non- conforming use which would frustrate the purposes and intent of the comprehensive plan and. the zoning ordinances of the City of · . Mound. ' 4. It is a further finding of this Council that %he non-conf~ use must now be removed and brought into compliance with City ordi'nances and regulations of the Minnehaha. Wa-~?[~:rshed District '.and the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District because to allow the structure to now remain would perpetuate and extend a non-conform, in? use and. would be there,.for ,many more .years contrary to the legal reasons for having a non-conformin_o use which is to amortize the value of the structure before causing its removal, and therefore the owner of this property should be ~irected. by the City Manager %o ren',ove~the structure and bring it into compliance, and if the property owner refuses, the City !.~.anager shall repor~ back to the Co~ cil which 'shall then consid, er com~.encing an action in the District Court for the removal and. relocation of the structure. It is the sincere desire of this Council that the applicant comply with this request, and if he does comply the City's prosecuting attorney is requested to not proceed to bring charges for the remodelin_~ without a permit. The City Manager shall report to this Council no later than May 15, 19S0, informing the Council if the applicant has complied with the City's request. The applicant shall be given a copy of this Resolution of Denial and Find. ings, and he is to be informed that if there is no compliance, the City will pursue this matter further in an attempt to bring this property into comp li an ce. A motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Council Withhart and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in fa~fo~~ tl]e~eof; Polston, Swenson, Ulrick, Withhart and Lo.vaasen, and the fol- lowing v.ote~d ~galnst same; none; whereupon said resolution was declared passed ,~nd.a,dopted, ,s~ned by the Mayor and his signature attested by the City Clerk.. /Ti m Lovaasen Mayor WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mound, MN 55364 May 27, 1980 MEMORANDUM TO: F~O M: SUBJ: H.

I suggest the signs be about l' x 2' in size but you may alter that based on your research and discussion with sign company representatives. The signs might read as follows, or something like it. HOTICE: This is school property andintoxicating liquors are prohibited on school property Under Minn. Statute 624.701, except when in possession of a temporary liquor license. Apply at City of Mound Offices, 5341 May- wood Road, for a temporary license. VIOLATORS ARE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION. Posted by order of the School Board, May 20, 1980 School Board Resolution, page 2. I suggest you then take a drive around the district with Peggy Tuttle, if she can spare the time, to orient her to the proposed sign locations. Also, re- view sign language with her. If she's satisfied, I believe the Board would accept that the resolution has been complied with. Don, I ask that you work out the details of temporary,license issuance with the City of Mound. That really has to be resolved before the signs are ordered if the sign is to include any reference to where to obtain a temporary license. Peggy had initially favored the use of "Intoxicating Chemicals" rather than "Intoxicating Liquors" on the sign. The law appears to be limited to liquors, however. I'll check that out and let you know whether or not we stand on the law to include all intoxicating chemicals. We must move on this rather rapidly if it is to have any effect this summer. Following is the statute: MISCELLANEOUS 624.701 LIQUORS IN CERTAIN BUILDINGS OR GROUNDS. Subdivision 1. Any person who shall introduce upon, or have in his possession upon. or in, any school ground, or any schoolhouse or school building, any intoxicating liquor or ~on- intoxicating malt liquor as defined in chapter 340, except for experiments in laborator- ies and except for those organizations who have been issued temporary licenses to se~] nonintoxicating malt liquor pursuant to section 340.02, subdivision 2 and' any person possessing nonintoxicating malt liquor as a result of a purchase from those organiza- tions holding temporary licenses pursuant to section 340.02, subdivision 2, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Subd. 2. Any person who except by prescription of a licensed physician or per- mission of the hospital administrator shall introduce upon. or have in his possession upon. or in, any state hospital or grounds thereof under the responsibility of the cora- missioner of public welfare any intoxicating liquor or nonintoxicating malt liquor as defined in chapter 340 shall he guilty of a misdemeanor.

The complaints are that doors open in front of on-coming traffic, people steppi.ng in front of cars, as well as complaints on garbage debris, etc. There have been requests that the parking be elimi- nated. Our Council asked that I write and ask if you can send a traffic engineer to look at the problems and maybe there are some things that can be done by either the County, City or L.M.C.D. to improve the situation.

Elevations have been converted to flows where a rating curve was available. As a part of the hydro-data collection program the creek was gaged on April 24, 1980. The following flows were recorded: Location Flow (CFS) Grays Bay Dam 1-494 Minnetonka Mills T.H. 7 West 56th Street Chicago Avenue Longfellow Pond 0.0 0.5 3.0 5.0 2.3 7.0 5.9 Flows in Minnehaha Creek have been slowly decreasing for the entire reporting period. Lake Minnetonka has contributed no flow to Minnehaha Creek since March 18, 1980, when the gates on the new Grays Bay Control Structure were closed. The terms of the DNR Permit for the new control structure require that, for the period April through July, discharge from Lake Minnetonka shall be allowed only while lake levels are above 929.3. Since gate closure in March, 1980, lake levels have ranged fromm928.6 to 929.2. They are presently at 929.07, Flow in the creek to date has been sustained through the current dry period by discharge from ground water storage which has resulted from the above-normal precipitation of the past two years. We have intended to establish flow rates in Minnehaha Creek at each of the gaging stations recorded in the attached tabulation. However, we will be unable to do so until we have sufficient rainfall. Water quality data is available upon request. If there are questions, please call the District Engineer at 473-4224. EUGENE A.

Bischke 3110hua Ave. Apt. 1203C Honolulu, Hawaii 96815 Dear Mr. Bischke: Your letter of May 15 was given to the City Council at the May 20th meeting and they said that, if you wanted formal consideration of the lot division and lot size variance, it would first have to be considered by the Planning Commission. Forms for formal application are enclosed. I might add that the reception to dividing two legal sized lots into one oversized and one undersized was not very warm. Also ! can assure you that when this goes to the Planning Commission, there will be a recommendation of denial from the Staff. As I told you last summer or fall when you advised me that you had divided and sold the property, that I doubted the Planning Commission and the Council would approve creating an undersized lot. It is suggested that possibly you should put these properties back the way they were, thus easing the problems. If you have further questions on this, please contact me. Sincerely, 'L-~6~nbrd L.

Dear Mr Pearson, I am enclosing a copy of letter mailed to Mr. Kopp which I had mailed to him along with a full number of surveys, Certificates of Title, Plat Map in an effort to explain the above matter to him and request how the task can be accomplished. I trust that all the items sent to him also reached your attention at the meeting he mentioned. First off, Last fall I asked Mr Eopp what was the procedure to do the above, and his response was "It can't be Done". That has alw~F~ been a stock answer I have received from Moundo...."NO" requirew nothing from anyone..No thinking°., no planning. We then called the Financial Director of Minnesota and they turned us over to a person who assissted us in doing the job and assured us that there was no problem. Tax statements would be changed and We had carefully tsken care of the proper surveys and each property was properly recorded. The buyers were happy and were charged ~ccordingly to what they received. Each bought knowingly. The buyer of Lot 11 couldn't have afforded the home if I would have had to charge bin for ½ of Lot 26 and to the buyers of Lot 25 and 26, it didn't matter if it cost a bit more...° In fact it only makes sense for lots 25 and 26 to be together° EVERYONE~S SATISFIED UNTILL MOUND SCREWED IT UP. I'm sure hhat you understand my "Bundl~ of Rights" as a property owner, to use and enjoy and to sell. At this point I feel that my rights are being trespassed upone I further fo~ and have felt along with many other people that I am being discriminated against by the people of Mounds Council and Planning Commission. Are they jelous because I have worked hard and made a li~ing? I well understand from several people that matters wherein I have been invelved have been "Cut and ~ried" before I ever get up before the council or plan~%ing commission. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION, I have b~en at meetings in Mound whenbuilders have asked to build on undersized lots and before the request gets out of their mouth~.o"I SO MOVE" and its granted. MY REQUEST DOES NOT M~tKE LOT 11 AN UNDERSIZED LOT: THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN THERE FOR AT ;~AST 40 Y~ARS AND WHEN THE Ni,~ OWNER ASKED FOR A BUILDING P~f~MIT WITH THE SURVEY WHICH I FURNISHED HLM, YOU READILY GRANT~ HIM A PERMI~T FOR AN ADDITION.. IT WASN'T UNDERSIZED THEN... JUST AS I SOLD IT~ TO HIM. IT HAS NOT CHANGED ....... My request is a simple one and a very valid one and a sensible one and I feel that Mr. Kopp is just giving me a hard time. I understand the" PACK THEORY" where we all stick together .... right or wrong .... Please don't do that to Me. When someone tells me "IT CAN'T BE D0~NE" . They have just told me that h~ey are too lazy to think or to try. THE~ IS ALWAYS A WAY ...... . In coming to the Council Meetings and Planning Commission Meetings, I felt you were one of the few that showed any sign of being there other than for personal benefits which they could derive from being on either Board. I further felt that you displayed intelligence and integrity as you dealt with the problems that would come up. I hope that the confidence that you have. conveyed will not be betrayed on the hsndling of this' matter. If, Mound Council and Planning Commission People are invloved, I hope that they can behave as mature adults.

Director Jackie'~Meyer and secretary D. De Laney. · The meeting was called to order by Chmn Larson. Minutes of meeting on 4-10-80 were presented for approval. It was brought out that in the 3rd paragraph, August should be deleted and July inserted and in 6th paragraph'delete Downtown Park and insert Westonka High Scho61 as correct. Motion by Lynott seconded by Bailey to accept the minutes, as corrected. Unanimously approved. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Kopp informed the Commission that the Revenue'Sharing Budget has been approved and the Parks had received the bulk of it, $34,000.00 with appx. $5,000.00 of this to be used for the Summer Recreational Program. Park equipment bids had been let and were $49,800.00 considerably under the estimate, the surplus money might possibly be used for Bike/Hike improvements on 3 Pts. Blvd. in 1980 and along County Road 110 in 1981. The Commission is to continue working with the City Planner and City~nglneer on plans for parks and proposed improvements to there is a clear, concise picture of what is to be done and ultimate results on completion. Residents of Lake Langdon are petitioning with regard to size of boats on the lake and their being motorized and power of motors. Council reluctant to act on this area until they have input or recommendation from Commission. Asked how the Lake Langdon Environmental Assessment Study submitted by Rex Alwin was com- ing along? Larson stated that with Law Con grant refused in this area of the grant he had considered it a dead issue and it had been more or less set aside until it became active again. Will review this assessment at the next discussion meeting. SUMMER RECREATIONAL DIRECTOR'S REPORT: " Jackie Meyer informed the Commission that flyers had been drawn (encl.) for distribution to the children. Will have 1,7OO printed for distribution through schools to the youngsters to take home. Shay stated that through experience the last week of school is not the time for notices to be issued in hopes they will reach the home. Commission agreed that notices will be distributed to the schools for the second to last week of school in the beginning of the week. Has had good response to the Soccer Program, lots of inquiries and some even interested in coaching. Have between 10 to 15 players signed up for each park, The Highlands, Tyrone and downtown a'rea; games being competively played at the old Mound HighSchoolo Soccer rules have been printed up and will be distributed to the coaches. Official soccer goals are 6 ft. wide and 8 ft. high and would run between $350 to $600 per pair, the summer program will use traffic cones t~ identify the goals,and age of participants would make officials goals a handicap. Had divided up the age groups into 5 to 8 year olds and 9 to 12 year olds. Most of the older. youths play Little League Ball and if there are not enough applicants for the 9 to 12 year group this will be disbanded with only the smaller youths participating. Desperately needs supervisors for the recreational progra.m, they must be at least 15 years old and will be paid for the hours spent in the summer program. Can also use more soccer coaches, who must be aclults but teenagers can volunteer for assist- ants to coaches, this would be strictly volunteer work with no salary attached. Will have an instructor from the. downtown chapter of the Red Cross out for a two hour session on First Aid Course to be available to all the playground supervisors and possibly the coaches of the soccer teams if they are interested. Mound Advisory Park Co~.isslon. Meeting of 5-8'80. page 2 PARK DIRECTOR'S REPORT: Bollis informed commission that bids were let on park equipment and were between $t6 and $17,000 less than estimated. Will confer with City Planner and Engineer and plan on equipping the project of the Tot Lot at. Island Park Park. These funds can be used for new equipment, fiXtures, upgrading of area, maintenance, tables, fireplaces etc. Doone Park had equipment shown on site plan and this can now be added with these funds and recreational equipment Can be purchsed and in- stalled in Avalon Park. Law Con graqt'frozen for 1979 and grant for 1980 only 50% of original amount but the City Planner thinks Mound Bay Park has a good chance of obtaining funds for this grant. Asked if'Women's Affiliated Garden Club would again be planting flowers this year around the City? Bailey said she would try and find out. Consensus of Commission that equipment should be durable and that a combination of wood and steel be recommended for use throughout the parks, for con- formity and strength. MOTION by Bailey seconded by Lynot't, "Recommend that Chris work closely with City Planner and City Engineer to originate plans for equipment for parks." Unanimously approved. Larson brought up the question of Bike Trails on Wilshi~e Blvd. Boilis explained the background on this and they will be stripped this summer to be more legible to motorists and bikers/walkers alike. COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT - Swenson absent PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT - Jackson absent RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT - Bailey stated this area covered during discussion throughout meeti'ng. LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT: Larson said the "Mound Parks Plan" had been gone over and they are in the process of clarifying classification and definitations of the parks and how they are described as to current condition and use..Many parks are identified as "undeveloped" and this form is too vague. Only those parks or areas that are to remain as nature/natural parks or areas should have this defination/classification with no future development planned for them and leaving them in a natural state. Asked members if they would be interested in a tour of the commons areas this year? They had previously toured all the parks, and if interested, suggested it be on a Saturday. Letter on replacing members reviewed, will contact some members personally on absenteeism. Motion by Lynott seconded by Shay to adjourn to next scheduled Discussion Meeting of May:22nd. Unanimously approved. did eric ~ -5- e
