[5] This category is composed of people whose origins are from the Dominican Republic, Spain, and Spanish-speaking Central or South American countries. It also includes general origin responses such as "Latino" or "Hispanic." [6] "Spouse" represents spouse of the householder. It does not reflect all spouses in a household. Responses of "same -sex spouse" were edited during processing to "unmarried partner." [7] "Family households" consist of a householder and one or more other people related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. They do not include same -sex married couples even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same -sex couples. Same -sex couple households are included in the family households category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption. Same -sex couple households with no relatives of the householder present are tabulated in nonfamily households "Nonfamily households" consist of people living alone and households which do not have any members related to the householder. [8] The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner inventory that is vacant "for sale." It is computed by dividing the total number of vacant units "for sale only" by the sum of owner -occupied units, vacant units that are "for sale only," and vacant units that have been sold but not yet occupied; and then multiplying by 100. [9] The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is vacant "for rent." It is computed by dividing the total number of vacant units "for rent" by the sum of the renter -occupied units, vacant units that are "for rent," and vacant units that have been rented but not yet occupied; and then multiplying by 100.

Minnesota Mitigation Study Newsletter, Issue 2 With an open house scheduled for May 24, we felt this was a good time to provide an update of the study's progress to date and identify the next steps in the Minnesota River Flood Mitigation Study. Study Background In February 2011 the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) initiated a study to investigate lower -cost, high -benefit ways to improve transportation during seasonal flooding in the southwest Twin Cities Metro Area. The study focuses on the bridges and approach roadways spanning the Minnesota River at Hwy 41, Hwy 101, and Hwy 169. It will determine which improvements would be best to minimize roadway closures and/or add capacity during flood events. Study Update Over the past month the project team has completed collecting data and has begun the development and evaluation of possible alternatives. Based on preliminary one-dimensional river modeling results, the project team has identified an initial set of alternatives at Hwy 41 and Hwy 101 that would raise the road profile without causing a flood stage increase. This includes a 1,800- foot section of roadway at Hwy 41 and a 3,500-foot land bridge at Hwy 101. Alternatives at Hwy 169 include both temporary and permanent measures to ease congestion and increase capacity. The Study Management Team (SMT) has met twice and is scheduled to meet monthly throughout the study. Early coordination with environmental review and permitting agencies has also taken place and will continue throughout the study process. The project team will soon complete two-dimensional river modeling of the alternatives to ensure that river flow conditions are taken into account. A benefit/cost analysis will also be conducted as part of the environmental screening of alternatives. Open House scheduled May 24 Mn/DOT staff, consultants and local representatives will host an open house to introduce the study, answer your questions and seek feedback from those affected when Hwy 41 and Hwy 101 close due to seasonal flooding. The open house is scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, 2011 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Chaska Community Center located at 1661 Park Ridge Drive in Chaska. You can show up any time, and a brief presentation will be given at 4:30 p.m. The meeting is a great opportunity to learn about the study, preliminary concepts, the process, key issues, provide feedback and get more information on how to get involved in the process. We are interested in hearing your issues, concerns, and suggestions regarding the study. % 'Ilk .4 nt--E A 6 7 4r, WA A t --- 100 yr - 722 feet 50 yr - 719 feet ---- 10 yr - 712 feet - Road Closed - 709.4 feet 755 7 BRIDGE 735 70002 BRIDGE EL = 715.40 725 ----------- - --------- -- ------- 725 10007 725 ----- - ------ ---------- -------- -------- -------- 725 715 ------ -/--3v -- ------- ------ -------- 706 695 685 675 .... vizi"ir 90 +00 i '' .. 4�1-!l ... 00E 95+00 1 +00 105+00 ilo+bb ------ Ifs-+-06---- ilio 00 F + 125+00 130+00 136+00 00 145+00 150+00 155+00 160+00 MN RIVER CROSSING FLOOD MITIGATION STUDY TH 101 EXISTING CONDITIONS 5/5/2011 T N nIT LH IT NIL 4% 9E AP Aj -A( --- 100 yr - 722 feet 50 yr - 719 feet ------ 10 yr- 712 fee 755 BRIDGE 745_ 735 725 7000 _IA-7 2 3500'LAND 725 BRIDGE\ EL 720 BRIDGE 10007 715 ------7-15 725 -- 725 -­� �— 716 705 695 T705 ISIN a GROUND 695 705 695 705 FILL 685 EXCAVATION 695 675... 2 ........ go :� 00 2 95+00, 100+00 165+00 110+00 ...

Bruno Silikowski's light -bulb moment arrived when he pulled in his driveway and found one of his kids using his Porsche as a bicycle kickstand. "And I said 'that is it; we've got to do something."' Over the past three years that something has blossomed into not only a thriving business, but a real community -- of cars and their owners. "The entire campus -- it's a forty acre campus -- it's designed to look like an old European village," says Silikowski during a golf cart tour of the property. Silikowski's "village" is currently made up of 120 garages housing a Beverly Hills assortment of Bentleys, Ferraris and classic muscle cars. "I'm an ex -corporate guy myself, and I'd been thinking about this because I couldn't find anything like it," he said. AL1t0M0t0r'P1C\ is in essence a condominium complex for cars. Owners buy their garages but share a wall with their neighbors. Prices start at $40,000 for a small single stall, on up to $500,000. All of them start out bare bones, but most don't stay that way for long. Many owners install lofts with entertainment centers and fancy bathrooms. "We just call it the garage, or the condo," explained Bob Krowech who purchased a garage in the complex with his wife Kris to house their Studebaker and vintage Chevy pickup. Duane Saunders purchased space for a much larger collection after he retired and sold his business. "I've always had a passion for cars and this is an ideal place for me, s he said. My son actually got married here, and my granddaughter had her high school party here." The community aspect of his storage facility has succeeded beyond anything Silikowski could have hoped for. "My wife and I call it our summer cabin," said Steve Flaten, an architect from Burnsville. "We sort of come out here and instead of fighting traffic through Rogers on a Friday afternoon, we're here in 20 minutes and we can spend the weekend." While Flaten tinkers with his classic Mustang and his Cobra replica, his nephew can play video games, while his wife goes to the loft to quilt. Some guys grow up with a country club membership as the ultimate symbol of status, AutoMotorPlex offers the same opportunities for motorheads. "We're not into selling space, we selling experience," says Silikowski. "It's a place to enjoy your passion. That's our tagline and it really seems to work." httn://www.karel i.com/nrint.a-;-nx9,;torvld=923998 5/2.5/201 1 Print -Land of 109000 Stories: Twin Cities man creates a country club for cars I karel Lcom Page 2 of 2 Twice a month Silikowski opens his gates to the public for car shows. It's his best advertising. He says his existing units are 97 percent sold. Silikowski has land for up to 240 garages. He'll break more ground for another building in June. "It's really a cool Man Cave; there are no two ways about it;" said Bob Mortenson, who has taken his garage beyond anything Silikowski ever imagined. "It's all Brazilian cherry," he says of the woodwork. "We have a fireplace, big screen TV." Mortenson's latest addition will honor St. Paul's iconic Porky's drive in. "There will be Porky Pig that will be five -feet high and ten -feet tall in three -color neon." Silikowski is already planning a second location in the metro, as well as eying up land in other cities. "It's a perfect example of a subculture of people," he reasons. Mitch Stover was just looking for storage for his collector cars when he discovered AutoMotorPlex. Instead Stover and his wife now do most of their entertaining in their garage. "If somebody spills a glass of wine there's in -floor drain. I wipe it off," he laughs. The spills and the spoils. Part caviar - part motor oil. httn-//www.karel 1.com/nrint.asnx?storvid=923899 5/25/201 1
