9
DeMars presented the staff report and asked for Park Commission input on a request for little 10
libraries on public park land. 11
12
Resident Sharon Kreatz, 2856 Deer Hill Road asked to address the Commission and commented 13
about the popularity of little libraries in Eden Prairie, where she lived previously. Kreatz said 14
she is in support of little libraries in Medina. 15
16
The Commission directed DeMars to ask the Eagle Scout applicant to submit a proposal 17
including plan details, desired specific location, and the post-installation maintenance plan. 18
19
7. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN REVIEW 20
21
Finke reminded the Commission that CIP review is a multi-step process with recommendations 22
for the City Council who generally make final adoption in December, along with the budget. 23
Prior to preparing a final draft of the CIP for the City Council, Finke said Staff wanted to provide 24
another opportunity for the Park Commission to review parks and trails improvements. 25
26
The Commission discussed the CIP line item for reconstruction of the old tennis court at Hunter 27
Park. The court is in fair condition, the Commission agreed the best option is to plan on leaving 28
the court in use until 2025 then converting it to a basketball court. Additionally, the Park 29
Commission recommends a placeholder in 2025 for the trail renovations at Hunter Park. 30
31
The Park Commission discussed Deer Hill Trail. Finke noted easements have now been 32
obtained for trails throughout the conservation areas and the City mows some of the turf 33
corridors to provide the opportunity for walking. He asked if there is interest to formalize or 34
pave trail segments in the coming years, thus add to the CIP. 35
36
Finke referred the Commission to the 1,200-foot segment of the map provided in the packet that 37
would connect Deer Hill Road to Morningside Road. For context, he estimated the cost to build 38
CITY OF MEDINA
PARK COMMISSION
DRAFT Meeting Minutes
October 18, 2023
Page 3 of 7
and pave trail for this portion is approximately $100,000, therefore estimated cost for the entire 1
loop as pictured on the map is approximately $400,000. 2
3
Morrison opened up the meeting for public comment. 4
5
Resident Tommy Leikas, 2825 Deer Hill Road, voiced his support and desire for paved trails in 6
the Deer Hill neighborhood. Leikas said there are now over twenty homes built and 7
approximately twenty-five children; and soon there will be forty homes with an anticipated total 8
of forty or fifty kids. Leikas said his family goes for walks nearly every day, and currently 9
utilizes the streets to do so. In addition to safe paved trails within the neighborhood, Leikas 10
indicated he feels it is a priority to add a trail plan to the CIP to connect and cross County Road 6 11
at Old Crystal Bay Road North so kids can safely walk to Orono School. 12
13
Resident Pam Wilkes, 1820 Deer Hill Road, echoed Leikas comments. Wilkes indicated her 14
preferable priority would be to connect Deer Hill Road to Medina Morningside because these 15
neighborhoods share the same school bus route and the kids are currently utilizing Willow Drive 16
to walk back and forth to spend time playing with each other, which is dangerous because of the 17
traffic on this busy and high-speed road. Wilkes said the kids regularly enjoy the athletic center 18
at the Orono School, so a safe means to cross County Road 6 is also very important. 19
Additionally, Wilkes said she walks her dogs on the existing mowed trail and would like to see it 20
more formalized because it is uneven and easy to twist an ankle; and her dogs come home very 21
muddy. She also commented that a trail connecting to Baker Park would be ideal. 22
23
Deer Hill Preserve Developer Susan Seeland, 470 Peavey Road, said after a conversation with 24
the attorney for the City who was involved in a federal lawsuit, she is convinced the City has a 25
thirty-three-foot-wide easement from Willow Road to Homestead Trail that was dedicated and 26
platted in 1903. 27
28
Finke noted there has been a fair amount of discussion on the right-of-way subject, and based on 29
the documentation, the City has been advised not to pursue easement. 30
31
Scherer said now that easements have been obtained for trails throughout the conservation areas 32
public works is mowing and will work on a plan to clear a path in the woods. He said the goal 33
will be to begin work in the woods next year, however this work is coordinated around street and 34
utility projects and will be performed when the weather conditions cooperate. Scherer said as an 35
example, we wouldn’t undertake this sort of work during wet weather when the machines would 36
tear up the ground. 37

Motion made by Morrison, seconded by Webster, to pave the trail section connecting Deer 1
Hill Preserve to Medina Morningside in 2024, make improvements to the existing mowed trail so 2
it is safer for pedestrians to walk on, and work on the trail through the woods. 3
4
The Park Commission discussed additional pickleball courts. Morrison asked if the Council 5
provided desire for courts in Hamel Legion Park. Scherer indicated some of the councilmembers 6
received input from residents asking for more courts in more parks. 7
8
The Park Commission agreed pickleball courts are in high demand and when solicited, residents 9
ask for more courts. The Commission agreed Hamel Legion Park would be a great location for 10
courts, but questioned the impact to parking when it is already so busy, and now the addition of 11
the grandstand. The Commission recognizes Maple Park as further away from homes, which 12
was really the only complaints associated with the existing courts, and also that Maple Park is 13
another park which is virtually underutilized during the summer months. 14
15
Motion made by Gunter, seconded by Sharp, to move the pickleball courts at Maple Park 16
from 2026 to 2024, and add pickleball courts at Hamel Legion Park for 2028 on the CIP 17
recommendation to Council. 18
19
Morrison informed the residents in attendance that the Commission will move on to the next 20
agenda item. She explained the Park Commission is the recommending body to the City 21
Council, and as motioned, is recommending a plan beginning in 2024 for Deer Hill Preserve. 22
She asked everyone to bear in mind that Medina doesn’t have a parks department, so the public 23
works department work in these tasks after their street and utility responsibilities. 24
25
The residents thanked the Park Commission and Staff, and asked how CIP status would be 26
communicated back to the neighborhood. Finke responded the CIP recommendations will be 27
discussed in the December 5 City Council meeting. 28
29
Finke asked if any Park Commission have additional placeholders over the CIP. 30
31
Ney noted the fallen tree on the trail in Medina Lake Preserve. DeMars said it has not been 32
cleaned up yet because it is still too wet for the equipment to safely enter this area. 33
34
Webster noted kids regularly trip on the cement curb surrounding the playground at The Park at 35
Fields of Medina. He noted this was mentioned during park tours and understands the purpose 36
of the taller height curb is to prevent mulch from blowing outside of the playground, nonetheless, 37
directed public works to assess and determine if more mulch is needed in this park. DeMars 38
agreed to add the task to the public works action item list. 39

8. HUNTER LIONS PARK - PICKLEBALL 2
3
Scherer presented the memo and stood for questions. 4
5
Sharp thanked Scherer and DeMars for providing the memo attachments to this meeting. He 6
explained the Commission decided to table the discussion in the September meeting to review 7
and digest all information presented. Sharp said he talked with Hutchinson as well as some of 8
the other Commissioners about the noise report and all of the emails sent to the City. 9
10
Sharp noted he attended a Council meeting in early August to provide the parks update and 11
commented about reaching out to the Maple Grove Park Commission, where he served for seven 12
years, for feedback on pickleball related complaints. After the meeting, Sharp learned that one 13
of the same people who is sending emails to the City had sent one to the City Council, criticizing 14
what he had presented and misrepresenting what he had said. In the email, this person 15
referenced Maple Grove meeting minutes, which had nothing to do with Sharp, in an attempt to 16
discredit his comments. Sharp expressed his disappointment, both as a fellow resident and a 17
volunteer Park Commissioner and set the record straight by explaining his comments at the 18
Council meeting were based solely on a one-on-one conversation with a Maple Grove Park 19
Commissioner. 20
21
Sharp explained a tremendous amount of time was spent looking over the data and details that 22
led up to building pickleball courts. He pointed out the estimated cost for Staff to handle the 23
email requests this summer was around $8,000; the cost of the sound study to determine if we are 24
within the law was $7,000; the cost to convert pickleball courts to tennis courts would be 25
$60,000, the cost of sound barriers would be $25,000 plus annual upkeep charges with no 26
guarantee they would make enough of a difference; and the cost of planting trees would be 27
around $5,200. 28
29
Sharp noted that many of the emails received refer to ordinances or laws in other states thus not 30
applicable to our situation in Minnesota. Sharp said he reviewed the documentation, the costs 31
associated with sound mitigation and the probability of any efforts satisfying complaints, and the 32
sound study that shows we are within the noise thresholds. Sharp emphasized it is the 33
responsibility of the Park Commission to serve in the best interest of all residents of Medina for 34
recreational activities while being good stewards of city assets, and keeping this in mind, is now 35
ready to make a recommendation to Council. 36

Morrison thanked Sharp and Hutchinson for taking the lead on this discussion item after the 1
September meeting and for bringing the group up to speed. Morrison echoed Sharp’s summary 2
and opened the floor for additional comments. 3
4
Gunter stated the summary captured the necessary points and was well said. 5
6
Mayer stated he supports Sharp’s summary. 7
8
Webster stated he agrees but asked if trees could be planted on the East side of the court. 9
10
Scherer responded trees could not be planted due to storm pipe, however, will look into this 11
closer to see if anything can be done. 12
13
Ney recognized the thoughtfulness put into the summary and agreed with the comments. 14
15
Illingworth thanked the Commissioners for the logical review and recap and stated she is also in 16
agreement with the summary. 17
18
Motion made by Sharp, seconded by Gunter, to recommend to City Council that sound block 19
curtains are not purchased, that the courts are not moved, to proceed with planting trees for 20
screening as per the original plan, that the court hours of use are from 7:00 a.m. to sunset, and 21
that locking courts in the winter to avoid damage from chipping snow and ice off of the surface 22
will be at the discretion of Public Works. 23
24
9. MEDINA VENTURES – MEDINA PARK AND BOARDWALK 25
26
Finke noted the Park Commission previously reviewed the application in fall of 2022. He 27
presented the amendment to change the general plan of development where the applicant 28
proposes to purchase additional property and incorporate land into the project, increase the size 29
of the daycare, parking, and venue, add solar panels, and adjust the landscaping plan. 30
31
Motion made by Gunter, seconded by Webster, to recommend requiring the trail easements 32
and grading/slope easement described in the staff report and cash in-lieu of additional park 33
dedication. 34
35
Applicant and resident Chris Pederson, 4130 Fescue Drive, asked to make a comment. He 36
thanked the Commission for their support of the amended boardwalk plan but approached the 37
podium in support of pickleball courts. Pederson indicated a minimum of six courts are required 38
to support a tournament, therefore we should go big or go home, and build at least six courts. 39

MEMORANDUM
To: Medina Park Commission
From: Steve Scherer, Public Works Director
Date: January 11, 2024
Meeting: January 17, 2024
Subject: City Land Acquisitions
The Park Commission will recall that in 2022 the City purchased approximately 17 acres of land
along Chippewa Road known as the Scherber property for future park use. In 2023 the Park
Commission and City Council added funds in the capital improvement plan to move forward with the
planning process of the new park land.
In December of 2023 the City purchased two more parcels in the same general area known as the
Cates property, totaling approximately 73 acres. Now that the City is in control of approximately 90
acres along this corridor, Staff urges the Park Commission to again review the overall area for
recommended park dedication ideas, prior to moving forward with planning of the original 17-acre
purchase.
The City Council is in the early stages of guiding the usage and development of the latest acquisition
and input from the Park Commission is invaluable to work through this process.

Walnut Park Basketball Hoop ‐ moved and reconditioned, fence Public Works 2022 2022 To call this a "Basketball court" is a misnomer. There is a small piece of blacktop. There is a hoop with a
net and a very small backboard. This abuts a ditch that currently has a lot of water in it but is almost
always full. This drainage could be improved. There is nothing stopping basketballs from rolling into this
ditch. This makes using this court impossible. There should be a fence both for safety and for use.
