The base rate for 2003 will change from $23.25 to $25.00. The first 10,000 gallons usage is included in this base rate. The rate for 10,000 - 50,000 gallons usage will increase from $1.50 to $1.95 per thousand gallons.

So Do Poisons! N ATIONAL POISON PREVENTION Week is March 16 — 22. During this week, businesses and residents are encouraged to go through cabinets and closets where children might be able to gain access and check for toxic substances that they could ingest. This is also a good time to make sure that your home has a bottle of Ipecac (syrup used to make a person vomit) with a current expiration date. It is especially important that parents of young children make sure the homes their children stay in, such as grandparents or neighbors, have up -to -date bottles of Ipecac. It is stressed that no one be given Ipecac until instructed to do so by the Poison Control Center or physician! Some chemicals can do more harm when vomited. It is also a good idea to have Poison Control phone stickers by each telephone and on medicine cabinets throughout the home. The Poison Control Center can be reached by calling 1- 800 - 222 -1222 nationwide. Brochures, a home safety checklist and Poison Center phone stickers are available from the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department free of charge. Stop by during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday). Each year some 30 children die due to accidental poisonings while thousands of others swallow harmful substances. Approximately 1 million phone calls reporting incidences with children are placed to Poison Control Centers annually. Simple precautions can prevent you and your family from being a victim of accidental poisoning. If you have any questions regarding poisons or poison control, contact the Hennepin Poison Control System at 1- 800 - 222 -1222, or visit its Web site, http: / /Wwwmnpoison.org. p Boat Operator's Permit Required for Youth I T IS EASIER TO IMAGINE ice skaters on the lakes than water skiers, but we are only a couple of months away from the beginning of Minnesota's boating season. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources encourages all boat and personal watercraft operators under age 17 to order their Operator Test Packet and complete the required test before March 31 so they will beat the spring processing rush. Personal Watercraft Restrictions In the State of Minnesota, children ages 12 and under are not permitted to operate personal watercraft (jet ski) even with an adult on board. Children 13 years of age may operate personal watercraft if someone at least 21 is on board, or if they have a watercraft operator's permit* and are under visual supervision of someone at least 2.1 years old. Youth ages 14 -17 may operate personal watercraft without supervision if they have a watercraft operator's permit *. Motorboat Restrictions Although there are no driving restrictions for motorboats of 25 hp or less in Minnesota, children less than 12 years of age cannot operate a motorboat over 75 hp even with an adult on board. Youth ages 12 -17 may only operate a motorboat over 75 hp with a watercraft operator's permit* or with someone at least 21 years of ages within reach of the controls. *To receive an Operator Test Packet you can e-mail your name and address to info @dnr.state.mn.us with the request. You can also call the DNR at (651) 296 -3336 for a test packet, or to answer any questions regarding boat use in Minnesota. Information is also available on the DNR Web site, http: / /www. dnr. state. mn. us /regulations/ index.html. 4 www.ci.shorewood.mmus THE SHORE REPORT/ Match 2003 Early Shorewood Thanks to a recent telephone call from Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey, former City Clerk and Treasurer for the City of Shorewood, we were able to get some additional information about Shorewood's first year! As published previously, Shorewood is a relatively new community, being incorporated in 1956 from property that was formerly a part of Excelsior Township. In June of 1956, community members voted for their first elected officials. They were then required to re -elect officials the following November during the regular election. According to Mrs. Wiltsey this was quite a task. The election was held at Minnetonka Country Club, but because the restaurant had burned down, they had to have the election in the unheated golf house! Meetings were held in the library of Minnewashta School, which at that time was located on West 62nd Street, in the area where the Minnewashta Church is now located. During this period there was no City Hall. Records and offices were housed in the Wiltsey home. For a while, Mrs. Wiltsey kept her office in one of the bedrooms. As the City continued to grow, she was forced to make an office out of her basement so she would have more space. Following a tornado that hit this area in 1965, she moved the offices to her front porch. In 1965 the City was able to acquire a farm house on one acre of land on Manor Road. This property was to be used for the first City Park in Shorewood. After some discussion, the Council decided that since a City Hall was needed, they should use the house and property for the new Shorewood City Hall. In 1969 -70 the house was remodeled so that small meetings could be held there, but public meetings were still held at Minnewashta School. In 1981 the Council used profits from City -owned liquor stores to build the City Hall at its present site, and the home on Manor Road was tom down for the City's first park —Manor Park. 'M Planning Commission Notes 2002 Wrap -Up HE PLANNING COMMISSION has recently completed its work plan for 2003. In taking stock of projects that it addressed in 2002, some of the highlights included: • CUB Foods – approved the construction of a Cub Foods store in the Shorewood Village Shopping Center. This was by far the Commission's biggest project of the year and consumed many hours of public hearings and research by Commissioners and City staff. • Public Safety Facility – reviewed site plans and approved a modification to the City's Comprehensive Plan that allowed construction of the facility to begin. • Organized Refuse Collection– developed a policy that concentrated refuse collection on one day of the week by all collectors and on the same day as recycling pickup. • Variances – conducted a review of the Commission's approach toward dealing with variance requests. • Planning District Area Plans – as an addendum to the City's Comprehensive Plan, prepared individual plans for each of 12 planning districts within the City, focusing on issues related to land use, transportation, community facilities, housing, and natural resources. 2003 Work Plan The Commission's 2003 work plan contains: • Met Council Comprehensive Plan review – the Met Council has submitted its review of the City's Comprehensive Plan and made comments. The Commission will be reviewing those comments and responding. • Metro Transit Opt -Out – the City has the opportunity to revise its mass transit arrangements with Metro Transit. The Commission will be discussing what 5 arrangements best serve the interests of the City. • Recreational equipment – the location of private recreational equipment (e.g., swimming pools, skateboard ramps, swing sets) can affect the sightlines of neighbors. The Commission will discuss current regulations regarding the placement of these items. • Historic housing preservation – Shorewood has many older homes, dating back to turn ofthe 20th century. The Commission will consider whether some sort of zoning protections for certain types of older homes is warranted. • West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust – maintaining a diversified housing stock while not impinging on property owners' rights is difficult. The Land Trust involves an interesting means of preserving affordable housing opportunities within the City's existing housing stock. • Horse and Pony Ordinance – there aren't many of them, but the City does permit horses to be stabled within the City limits under certain circumstances. The Commission will be reviewing the "Horse" ordinance and its possible application to miniature horses. Your comments regarding the Commission's 2003 work plan are welcomed.
