The ordinance is prefaced with a purpose statement based on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Sections within the ordinance address ground source heat pumps (geothermal energy), solar energy systems, and wind energy systems. Each section defines where the systems are allowed (zoning), establishes standards, and addresses safety and abandonment of the systems. The city will defer discussion on utility scale wind turbines until 2010 so staff can gather information on the installation, operation and efficiency of 11 turbines being installed by the Minnesota Municipal Utility Association in 2000. These installations will provide a unique opportunity to determine the effects of the turbines related to previously identified concerns such as noise, shadow flicker, and ice throve.

Overa Policies Stornmvvater management offers opportunities to control development impacts by establishing regulations for the use of new or existing resource areas for water storage and filtration. Water quality and quantity management requires the use of a variety of techniques to reduce phosphorus and nutrient toads, incorporate sustainable design techniques to encourage infiltration, and reduce erosion and sedimentation with private development projects and new pubiic facilities. Green Technolo Since the ead« 1990s the city has incorporated "green" technolog and techniques to conserve and reduce reliance on nonrenewable energy sources. Current "green technologies" utilized and encouraged by the city include recycling, use of solar energy, and non-toxic cleaning methods for utility and facility management. Policy No. 1: Support, promote and facilitate environmentally sensitive development. Policy No. 2: Continue to provide leadership in integrating natural resource preservation and cost-effective and practical "green technologies" in community facilities and the delivery of city services. Policy No., 3: Provide education and programs to residents and businesses to enCourage natural resource protection, enhancement, stewardship, the controL of invasive species and the use mf "green technoiogies". Policy No. 4, Require new development and redevelopment to preserve and enhance important natural resources inciudfng natural communities, woodlands, wetlands, fioodp{ain areas, shoreLands and siopeaneas. Po[icyNo. 5: Require land uses, development and redevelopment too ° comply and be consistent with the City of Minnetonka Water Resources Management Plan * comply with existing and new city and watershed requirements for non- degradation of water quality. Pni1cyNo. 8� Encourage the use of technoiogies including solar access and other or new forms of renewable energy, oriented towards energy conservation and efficiency. E. Parks, Open Space and Recreation Community values, * promote activities that encourage understanding &involvement * expand & increase usability of our traits & sidewalks � Over the last 50 years the city has responded to the residential demand for community and neighborhood parks by constructing nearly 50 parks throughout Minnetonka. In addition, the � community value of noLunai resource preservation has resuiLed in the acquisition of significant i open space for use as passive necreationai activities, especially along creek corridors. In the / future, the acquisition of park Land for active and passive recreationai activities wit[ not be as significant as it has in the past since the city has obtained numerous acres for park" open � space and recreation purposes. However, further limited acquisition of property may be � required in certain locations to meet park development and stewardship needs. =ux*' 111-14 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan ) lyllmualetomk.-t Chapter Ill. DveraUPohcies Park activities for Minnetonka, in the future, will primarily focus upon facility development and improvements, and connectivity between parks, neighborhoods and activity centers. Over the oast 20 years, city park facilities have expanded from solely city-owned facilities to partnerships with schools, athletic associations, other public agencies and unique public/private partnerships. For example, current efforts to develop an implementation and stewardship plan for the UpperkWnnehaha Creek corridor with the County, watershed district and the city are a model that will likely be initiated for park and open space development and stewardship in the future. The changing demographics of residents will affect the Minnetonka park and recreation system more so in the future than continued development and redevelopment. The trend towards an aging population and the need to continue to attract families to the city will likely requirefacfiities that reflect "healthy living" objectives, accommodate "vvheei'abiiity" (i.e. wheel chairs, bikes, baby carts, etc.) that extends throughout the Ufecycie and new or redesigned facilities that accommodate a range of activities and encourage accessibility. Further park and open space activities aimed at environmental stewardship and interaction with natural resources, such as nature center development and trait connections need accommodation within the overall park system. The city vviii continue to investigate additional open space opportunities and acquisitions under public ownership or other controls. Policy No. 1 Provide city parks, and recreational facilities and programs to meet the needs of Minnetonka residents and businesses ° Upgrade existing facilities or provide new facilities that appeal to the changing demographics ofresidents. ° Provide new neighborhood parks where access to existing park facilities is inadequate, orisundenyen/ed. Policy No. 2: Manage city parks, facilities and programs to accommodate the effects of environmental changes, and the changing needs of residents, businesses and employees of Minnetonka businesses. Policy No. 3: Collaborate with schools and other organizations to promote "healthy living" activities and pnogranms. Policy No. 4: Extend and manage the trait system as a recreation and "pathway" corridor throughout the city. F. Transportation Community values: * enhance resident & business mobility with quality roads &transit * meet local & regional needs through leadership &collaboration * expand & increase usability of our traits & sidewalks Land use planning requires coordination with transportation facilities (roadways, transit and traits) and needs to ensure adequate and safe access from existing and new development to the local and regional roadway system. The tack of consideration of land uses and development on the city's transportation system leads to unplanned congestion, confusion for the motorist, safety issues and unanticipated capital expenditures for the city, county and Cit 111-15 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan Chapter 111. Overa Policies -----' Overall roadway circulation within the city is limited, unlike many large communities in the metropolitan area. Several state and county roadways are characterized by access limitat that segment Minnetonka; significant topographical changes and existing env protection areas; and a "parcel by parcel" development pattern have all led to a � discontinuous roadway system. The tack of a continuous roadway system causes difficulty in planning a transportation system that supports residents and businesses in the city. Roadway segments can become congested, forcing drivers to find alternative routes such as local roads" that are not designed or located to carry higher traffic volumes. Currently, the local roadway system has operated efficiently and within capacity, and itis important topreserve the function and design of local streets as Population increases and congestion worsens in order to protect residential neighborhoods. As development and redevelopment continue, pressure on the overall transportation system will intensify without commensurate ieveis of roadway and facility improvements. Therefore, it is important to identify areas before development or redevelopment occurs, where anticipated congestion will affect the overall transportation system. The transportation system needs tobe planned to: * support the vii[ages and the Ridqednie/Dpus regional areas, and ° to accommodate public travel and recreatiuna(needs. Opportunities for nnuitf-nmodai transportation facilities are available or pianned in the Ridgeda[e, ()pus (Southwest Corridor LRT) and community village areas where major transportation corridors exist. Therefore, more intense and higher density development and redevelopment should be planned and designed to gain additional or reasonable access to these transportation faciiities. Further, planning should include the provision for non- vehicular corridors (trails, pathways, sidewalks) and facilities to safety access land use and transportation facilities within these areas. Continued collaboration with the County and State is needed to ensure that commensurate roadway and transit improvements are avoiiabie for planned areas of more intense development in the city and expanding resident service needs. Traits and other non-vehicte corridors serve a dual purpose to provide overatt connectivity to village centers, public facilities and other community activity centers. The Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail and the proposed CR 101 regional trail (local trail from the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trait to TH 7) serve regional trail, connectivity and "greenvvay" needs as well as local Minnetonka needs. The completion of the overall trait plan will assist in providing connectivity throughout the city and the surrounding area asvve(i as support "healthy living" and recreational objectives. Policy No. 1 Provide safe and integrated transportation system.
