4) Public Comments (on items not on the agenda): None.
5) City Council Update
Lorie Cousineau was not able to attend the meeting, but had prepared a written City
Council Update from the December 1st and 15th meetings that Gallup read to the Park
Commission.
6) Paul Fortin Memorial Field Scoreboard
Ted Fust introduced himself noting that he is before the Park Commission representing
the Hamel Hawks and the Hamel Lions Club this evening. He stated that his objective is
to get the Park Commission's approval for a new scoreboard at the Paul Fortin Memorial
Field. He stated that the existing 30 year old scoreboard no longer works and parts for it
have become obsolete. He would like to propose a new scoreboard that is similar in color
scheme to the existing scoreboards at the little league field and quad #3 field. The new
scoreboard would be higher end than the other existing scoreboards with LED digital
display.
Fust stated that the Hamel Hawks have taken the initiative to shop around and design the
new proposed scoreboard and have asked the Hamel Lions Club to donate this
scoreboard, which will cost between $12,000 to $15,000. The Hamel Lions have
requested that their name be permanently on the bottom of the scoreboard for giving the
donation. Fust noted that the Hamel Lions plan to vote on approval of the donation in
January.

Page 2 of 3
Fust stated that the proposed scoreboard would have wireless controls that would be
stored in a lockbox in the 1st base dugout. He noted that the dimensions of the old
scoreboard are 12 feet wide by 8 feet tall. The new proposed scoreboard will be 20 feet
wide by 13 feet tall. The scoreboard itself would be 8 feet tall with 2 /2 feet of advertising
boards on the top saying "Hamel Baseball" and 2 /2 feet on the bottom saying "Donated
by Hamel Lions Club" for a total of 13 feet.
Discussion took place on the proposed yellow color of the advertising board on the
bottom. It was noted that the other newer scoreboards have blue on top and bottom to
blend in with the color scheme of the ball fields. The Park Commission recommended
that this board also have blue on top and bottom and recommended that the Hamel Lions
use gold or yellow letters to achieve their blue and yellow color scheme instead of the
yellow background with blue letters.
It was questioned if additional electrical work would need to be done to install this sign.
Fust stated that the electrical work was figured into the total cost.
Jacob asked what the level of brightness was for the LED screen, noting that they would
want to make sure that the letters were visible from a certain distance away from the
screen. Fust will look into the level of brightness.
Fust noted that they hoped to install the new scoreboard in April as soon as the ground
thawed. He stated that they may need the City's backhoe to lift the scoreboard onto its
mounting system.
A motion was made by DesLauriers and seconded by Meehan to recommend accepting
the donation of the scoreboards. Motion passed unanimously.
The Park Commission further recommended that a final design be brought to the City
Council showing the blue color on the advertising boards on the top and bottom with
gold/yellow letters for the Hamel Lions Club. They further recommended that the
brightness of the LED screen be investigated.
The Park Commission thanked Ted Fust for leading the efforts on the replacement and
donation of a new scoreboard.
7) Hamel Athletic Club Agreement
Lee stated that the Park Commission reviewed the agreement between the Hamel Athletic
Club and the City of Medina at their November l 8th meeting and members were asked to

Medina City Hall
Page 3 of 3
review it further and bring any additional changes to Gallup to be included in the
agreement. At the meeting, he asked that the Park Commissioners provide any final
comments or changes to the updated version before recommending the approval of this
agreement.
The Park Commissioners reviewed the agreement page by page and recommended a few
minor changes.
Jacob suggested that Gallup include a story in a future Medina Message newsletter to
educate residents on the process of reserving ball fields in Medina.
A motion was made by Meehan and seconded by Linck to recommend approval of the
grounds and services agreement between the Hamel Athletic Club and the City of
Medina. Motion passed unanimously.
8) Staff Report
• 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update — Lee provided an update to the Park
Commission on what is happening at the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering
Committee meetings. He highly encouraged the Park Commissioners to use
Mysidewalk to join the online conversation and provide feedback on the vision.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Dusty Finke, City Planner
DATE: January 14, 2016
MEETING: January 20, 2016 Park Commission meeting
SUBJ: Stonegate CD-PUD — Trail discussion
Background
Back in July 2015, the Park Commission reviewed the Stonegate subdivision. The applicant
proposed a Conservation Design -Planned Unit Development (CD-PUD) subdivision of 42 homes
(subsequently reduced to 41 homes) west of Deerhill Road and east of Homestead Trail.
The CD-PUD ordinance allows flexibility to various City requirements (including increasing
density by up to a maximum of 100%) in exchange for the developer permanently conserving a
significant portion of the buildable property on the site within a conservation area.
The Park Commission provided feedback on the proposed park and trail components of the plan.
At that time, the applicant proposed a community swimming pool and a community gathering
area which were subsequently removed from the plans and allowed for an increase in
conservation area. The proposed trail alignment and proposed surface material had significant
discussions through the Park Commission and City Council.
The City Council granted preliminary plat and general plan approval in October of 2015. This
approval included a network of turf trails as shown on the first attachment to this report. The
plat approval also contemplated the City obtaining the 1.77 acre upland area to the northeast of
the large wetland on the north part of the site.
The following conditions were related to parks and trails:
11. The Developer shall grant trail easements in the locations shown on the plans received by
the City on September 1, 2015, except as follows. Trail easements which are not
immediately adjacent to public rights -of -way shall be a minimum of 20-feet in width. The
trail easement north of the center point of the Fox Hill Court cul-de-sac shall be located to
abut the western property line of the Property until a point north of Lot 9, Block 1, at which
point it shall extend onto the island. The trail easement south of Morningside Road shall be
shifted west as necessary to locate a trail west of the existing tree line along the property
line, but still east of the planted trees. The Developer shall construct a base section as
recommended by the City Engineer, cover with two inches of top soil and then seed. The
conservation easement and land stewardship plan shall not prohibit the City from
converting the trails to hard surface in the future.
12. The Developer shall deed the upland to the northeast of the large wetland to the City for
parks, trails, and open space purposes. The Developer shall update the plat to show this
area as a separate outlot from the adjacent wetland area. In lieu of dedicating additional
property, the Developer shall pay a park dedication fee -in -lieu of $206,213.00, from which
Stonegate CD-PUD
Page 1 of 3 January 20, 2016
Trail Discussion Park Commission Meeting
the construction cost of the turf trails shall be deducted. The estimated construction cost is
$70,843.50, which shall leave an outstanding park dedication fee due of $135,369.50.
Proposed Trail Adjustments
The applicant has been working on final plans and intends to submit for Final Plat approval soon.
Through this process, the applicant found that alternative trail alignments may be preferable.
The applicant's updated proposed trail alignment is attached.
The most significant differences from the approved preliminary plat are:
1) Realignment of trail on the east side of the site, north of where existing Deerhill Road
enters the property. The updated location is shown through the conservation area north
of Deerhill Road in order to provide a scenic overlook of the tamarack swamp. The trail
then continues to the conservation area in the middle of the subdivision. The previous
alignment was immediately adjacent to the street.
2) The applicant requests that a trail easement not be required along the northwest of the
property to the island within the tamarack swamp. The applicant argues that the island is
difficult to access and is heavily wooded, providing limited value for public enjoyment.
The trail network is proposed to connect with Morningside Road, providing segments both to the
north and south. A trail connection also connects from existing Deerhill Road, heading through
the site with two future connections to the west of the site. This alignment is generally consistent
with the City's trail plans in the Comprehensive Plan and the Parks/Trails Master Plan. The
northwestern trail connection appears to terminate approximately 100 feet south of where City
plans identify. Staff recommends that this be extended by this amount.
The proposed trail alignment provides almost 1.25 miles of turf trails. The two changes noted
above (and other slight modifications in trail alignment) result in a slight reduction in linear trail
(approximately 500 feet) from what was shown on the preliminary plat. In terms of total area
which is proposed to be dedicated for parks and trails (including the area to the northeast of the
tamarack swamp), the reduction is only approximately 2%.
The applicant proposes to grade and construct these turf trails, the cost of which would be
subtracted from park dedication requirements. The Park Commission had discussed not
constructing the northwest trail segment unless and until an opportunity becomes available to
continue to the west. The property owner to the west was concerned with trespass to their
property if this trail was constructed. Staff recommends that the easement be secured, even if the
trail is not constructed.
Staff Recommendation
Staff believes the updated trail alignment is generally an improvement to that shown on the
approved preliminary plat. Staff believes it may make sense to delay opening the trail all the
way to the northwest unless an opportunity to continue the trail to the west occurs.
Stonegate CD-PUD
Page 2 of 3 January 20, 2016
Trail Discussion Park Commission Meeting
The Park Commission had not expressed a strong interest in the trail north of the cul-de-sac to
the island. Staff wanted to confirm that the Park Commission would support removing this
segment of the trail.

would be off Homestead Trail, though the development would connect to Deer Hill Road.
Finke explained that under a CD-PUD the code allows more flexibility than the regular
standards in order to act as an incentive to preserve ecological resources, wildlife

corridors, scenic views, and rural character. He noted that the CD-PUD allows a benefit
of up to 200% of the density allowed in a standard Rural Residential subdivision.
Finke noted that the subject site is predominately farm field and wetlands. He noted that
Deer Hill Road and Morningside Road both terminate on the eastern side of the property
and the property is adjacent to Homestead Trail on the west. The City of Orono is to the
south of the site.
Finke stated that the property is zoned Rural Residential and it is guided for Rural
Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. He noted that rural development is allowed at an
aggregate of one unit per ten acres and one unit per five acres of suitable soils, but the
CD-PUD allows flexibility including density bonus.
Finke stated that the proposed 421ots range between 1.28 to 2.63 acres in size, plus the
pool lot. He noted that the base density would allow for approximately 221ots. The CD-
PUD allows up to 200% bonus based on how well the proposed development achieves
conservation objectives over conventional development and the applicant is proposing
190% bonus.
Finke stated that 30% of the total buildable area is required to be in conservation areas
and the applicant is proposing 30.3% of buildable area which is 38.47 acres and an
additional 36 acres of wetlands and 8 acres of wetland buffer. He noted that outlot E
contains recreational area. He explained that conservation areas should be interconnected
and conservation easements must be provided over the area and held by a qualified entity.
He also noted that a preliminary land stewardship plan had been provided by the
applicant.
Linck questioned if all the wetlands would be protected in the conservation easement. It
was noted that all the remaining wetlands would be protected.
Finke stated that the applicant is proposing a turf trail to the west and north which is
generally in alignment with the proposed trail in the Comprehensive Plan. It was noted
that the Comprehensive Plan also showed a natural study area on the northern portion of
the property. Three trail corridors in the Comprehensive Plan were included in the Master
Park and Trail plan and two of the trail corridors were not included in the Master Plan.
Finke explained for Park Dedication purposes, the city can require 10% of the buildable
land which would be 13.24 acres, 8% of the market value at a maximum of $336,000 or a
combination. He explained the number for various possible dedication options:
• Deer Hill Trail segment and NE corner = 1.57 acres (11.9%)
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015
Medina City Hall
Page 3 of 11
• Connection to Morningside
o North -South Option A = 0.89 acres (6.7%)
o East-West Option B = 0.46 acres (3.5%)
• Connect between Option B and applicant proposed trails 0.95 acres (7.2%)
• Paving Option B is approximately 17.9% of total dedication
It was noted that Minnehaha Watershed District will likely hold the conservation
easement and they were concerned with Option A because it bisects the conservation
area. They were okay and less concerned with Option B.
Finke noted that the applicant has requested turf trails, private amenities and that the
protected conservation areas be considered when calculating park dedication and that no
additional fee be charged.
Finke reviewed CD-PUD objectives and stated that the Planning Commission
recommended that the applicant did not meet these CD-PUD objectives.
Pearson asked that the applicant define their open spaces, wooded acres, restored prairies,
and wetlands.
Reid questioned if the City would usually give Park Dedication credit for private
amenities? Finke noted that State Statute says cities shall give due consideration for open
space, recreational, or common areas and facilities open to the public. He said it doesn't
require it to be acre for acre.
Jennifer Haskamp, Planning Consultant with SHC, LLC, introduced herself and the
project team working with the applicant.
Haskamp summarized the park and open space related items in the contingent settlement
agreement for this property. She noted the following:
• Wetland delineation was to use the 2011 boundaries. The north 80 acres were
approved and they updated delineation on the southern 90 acres.
• The conservation area could not be less than 30% per the city definition.
• A land stewardship plan will be prepared and three acres of additional wetland
restoration will be included in the central area.
• The public trails will be dedicated in compliance with those identified in the trail
plans. Trail dedication will be credited against park dedication fees.
• Due consideration for park dedication credits related to conservation areas may be
considered by the city.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015
Medina City Hall
Page 4 of 11
Haskamp stated that the concept plan detail in the contingent settlement agreement
included:
• 42 Rural Residential lots, sized from 1.0-2.5 acres.
• Approximately 31 % of upland buildable area dedicated for conservation area.
• 2011 wetland delineation used as a base.
• Public trails on site are consistent with City's park and trail master plan adopted
on March 18, 2014.
Haskamp stated that the applicant's goals and objectives are the following:
• Consistency with the contingent settlement agreement.
• Incorporate staff and council comments from the contingent settlement agreement
negotiations related to the draft concept plan.
• Meet the goals of the conservation design ordinance
• Listen to comments and concerns of staff, park commission, city council and
neighbors.
• Create an exceptional conservation development with integrated networks of
public and private trails and open space.
Haskamp stated that the summary of key points on the preliminary plat are as follows:
• 421ots, ranging in size from 1.39 acres to 2.63 acres.
• 52.8% of gross site dedicated in conservation easements.
o All conservation easements in separate outlots.
O 30.3% upland buildable.
O 1.5% private open space.
• 47.2% developed area.
Haskamp noted that the applicant's proposed turf trails align with the trails shown in the
City of Medina's Park and Trail Master Plan that was adopted on March 18, 2014. She
also noted that the applicant has no objection to dedicating an easement on the northeast
corner of the site for a future trail. She also noted that there is an existing paved regional
trail along County Road 6 that runs through the applicant's property in Orono which is
directly to the south of this site. She stated that the applicant believed this regional trail
accommodates the needs of these residents to connect to Baker Park.
Haskamp showed a map of the proposed trails and noted that the public trails on the north
80 acres match the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the 2014 Park and Trail
Master Plan. She also noted that the private turf trails in the southern corridor of the
conservation areas meets the objectives of the City's Conservation Design Ordinance.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015

She noted that the reason for private trails in the southern corridor is to best establish
good prairie restoration. The private trail network would change in different locations in
different years to solve different objectives to maintain the prairie.
Haskamp stated that the applicant is working with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
to hold the conservation easement on the site. She stated that Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District preferred private turf trails in this area and noted that they absolutely
did not want bituminous trails.
Haskamp reviewed the landscape plan, showing a possible nature area per the
Comprehensive Plan in the northeastern corner of the site. She noted that outlot D would
be a community pool and gathering space which was located in the southern part of the
site. She noted that outlot E is the half-moon shaped lot which would be split between
passive recreation open space and short grass prairie, divided with a public trail.
The Park Commissioners questioned if all the areas that Haskamp described should be
considered for Park Dedication. Haskamp discussed the site tabulations that were in the
applicant's narrative for the buildable upland conservation area, community pool,
wetlands and wetland buffer areas.
Haskamp explained the Land Stewardship Plan which states that they will restore the
CRP prairie grasses similar to the diversity level that was planted on -site between 1997
and 2007. The plan will show areas of protection including the existing Tamarack and
Hardwoods.
Pearson noted that he needed to leave the meeting to catch a flight out of town. He stated
that he was concerned with the quality of the nature areas being preserved and wanted
more information on what it looked like.
Leslie Witterschein, Attorney with Monroe Moxness Berg, introduced herself as the
Attorney representing the applicant. She wanted to remind the Park Commission of
Minnesota Statute 465.35 Subd. 2b regarding Park Dedication. She noted clause (d) states
"in establishing the portion to be dedicated or preserved or the cash fee, the regulations
shall give due consideration to the open space, recreational, or common areas and
facilities open to the public that the applicant proposes to reserve for the subdivision."
She also noted that Minnesota Statute 465.35 Subd. 2c references the "Nexus." She noted
that clause (a) states "There must be an essential nexus between the fees or dedication
imposed under subdivision 2b and the municipal purpose sought to be achieved by the fee
or dedication. The fee or dedication must bear a rough proportionality to the need created
by the proposed subdivision or development.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015

Page 6 of 11
Witterschein stated that per Minnesota State Statute, the city shall give consideration for
the following:
• 38.47 acres of buildable upland conservation area.
• 43.93 acres of unbuildable conservation area.
o 3 acres of wetland restoration.
o Approximately 8 acres of wetland buffers which are buildable.
• 1.86 acres of open space including the community pool.
• 1.73 acres on the northeastern corner of the site.
• Areas for public trails on the northern 80 acres.
• Areas for private trails on the southern 90 acres.
Witterschein noted that the above areas exceed 52% of the gross site.
Witterschein ended her presentation by stating that the national park standards are 1.5
acres per 100 residents. She noted that the proposed development is 42 households at
approximately 3 people per household which equals 126 people.
Cindy Piper, 2905 Willowwood Farm Road, addressed the Park Commission. She stated
that she has been riding horses on the subject property for a number of years while under
various different ownership. She stated that she is concerned if the trails were turned over
to the Homeowners Association because they will eventually get tired of horses. She
questioned if the public turf trails would be open for horseback riding.
The Park Commission confirmed that horses would be allowed on the public turf trails
and asked the applicant if the future property owners would be aware of the horse trails
prior to buying the property. The property owner confirmed that future homeowners
would be aware that horses were allowed on the public turf trails.
Piper questioned if the public turf trails could go around the back side of the homes along
the edge of the wetland buffer instead of going through the front yards adjacent to the
road. She noted that the homeowners were not going to like the horse poop in their front
yards. She felt like the backyard trail would feel more rural residential and better
accommodate the horses.
Piper noted that horseback riders currently cross this property at Deer Hill Road.
Discussion occurred if that was currently a public right-of-way.
Susan Seeland, property owner, stated that the Deer Hill Road access is currently the
subject of litigation. She also noted that she was absolutely opposed to the trail going
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes

through people's backyards. She confirmed that the front yard trails shown on the plan
will be public turf trails for horses.
Peter Rechelbacher, 1242 Hunter Drive, stated that he had recently purchased the Reimer
property which is west of the northern portion of the subject site. He stated that he had a
major concern with the proposed trail access point in the northwest corner of the site that
ends at his property. He stated that he also is working with Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District to put a conservation easement on his property to preserve the Maple Basswood
forest, Tamarack and wetlands. He stated that he did not want horses riding through his
property.
Lee questioned if there was a spot on his property that made sense to connect a trail.
Rechelbacher stated that it was all wetlands.
Reid questioned if Rechelbacher was planning on developing the site. Rechelbacher
stated that he plans to build a single home on the site and the remaining site would
remain intact.
Haskamp noted that it was important for the applicant's development to have access to
Baker Park from his property or the Deer Hill Road access to the south of his site.
Piper agreed with Rechelbacher that it would be difficult to access Baker Park from his
property.
Lee stated that when the Park Commission reviewed the concept plan in February, they
stated that they would like to see a connection from this development to Medina
Morningside.
Haskamp mentioned that she did not think the February Park Commission minutes were
accurate stating that she knew there was some discussion, but did not think there was a
unanimous decision.
Lee reaffirmed that he would still like to see a trail connection from this site to Medina
Morningside for these residents to access the city's well established neighborhood park in
Medina Morningside and for the Medina Morningside residents to be able to access
Baker Park. He asked Haskamp what she would suggest for a trail connection to Medina
Morningside.
Haskamp stated that she would suggest private turf trails and nothing else.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015

Scherer felt that a bituminous trail made the most sense to connect the Medina
Morningside residents to a road within the proposed subdivision.
Haskamp reiterated that Minnehaha Watershed District was completely against
bituminous.
Haskamp stated that the applicant's residents would be able to access Medina
Morningside Park through private turf trails.
Lee stated that the private turf trails would not allow Medina Morningside residents to
access Baker Park and the existing regional trail along County Road 6 is too far out of the
way for the residents on the west side of the Medina Morningside development.
Lee suggested to have a paved trail run straight south from Medina Morningside and then
down and around the conservation area so it does not bisect it. Haskamp noted that
additional hardcover was not good for the site either.
Seeland stated that she would have been more willing to work with the city on this trail
connection, but she has not been able to work well with the city. She went into a lengthy
explanation on the history of her property. She noted that her and her husband bought the
property in the 1990's as an investment property and it was a farm at that time. She said
that Hennepin County had approached her in 1997 to establish prairie grasses on the site,
which she thought would make her site more desirable. Later, her property showed up on
all the DNR maps as a native mesic prairie and it was untouchable. She explained that
she served on the open space task force to better understand the city's processes. She also
submitted a concept plan during the Comprehensive Plan review and no one would
consider it. She stated that she had no choice but to plow her fields and turn it back into
farmland.
Reid questioned if a short public turf trail would work to connect to Medina Morningside.
Witterschein reminded the Park Commission that the trails needed to be flexible to
establish the prairie.
Discussion occurred on the direction the Park Commission wanted to go with this
application. There was a general consensus to take the northeastern corner of the site for a
future overlook when the adjacent property developed. It was also noted that an easement
could be taken for the northwestern trail segment in case the western property developed
in the future, but the trail did not have to be developed at this time.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2015

Page 9 of 11
Witterschein stated that a trail connection to Medina Morningside could not be required
because the contingent settlement agreement stated that the applicant only had to show
the trails based on the 2014 Park and Trail Master Plan.
Finke clarified that the exact language in the contingent settlement agreement says "city
trail plans" and did not specifically state the 2014 Park and Trail Master Plan.
Haskamp stated that she could sense a motion was getting ready to be made and asked
that if a recommendation to connect to Medina Morningside was going to be made that it
not be done through a side yard, but connect in the open space directly to the road.
A motion was made by Reid and seconded by Meehan to recommend that the turf trail be
installed as shown, minus the northern branch, but take the easement for the northern
branch and to recommend a public connection from Medina Morningside to the road in
the subject site. Motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Meehan and seconded by Linck to recommend taking the
northeastern corner overlook easement. Motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Lee and seconded by Jacob to recommend taking dedication per
the recommended easements and have the City Council give due consideration for the
private recreation and amenities. Motion passed unanimously.
7) 2016 Capital Improvement Plan
Gallup reported that she had updated the attached Capital Improvement Plan based on the
Park Commissions' recommendations at the June meeting. She asked the Park
Commission to review the updated document to double check its accuracy and if there
were any final recommended changes before it was approved.
DesLauriers stated that he felt the city should pay for the dugout covers out of Park
Dedication funds because it was a safety issue. He noted that the previous Hamel Athletic
Club (HAC) president had put together quotes and the project should cost around $5,000
per field for tarp covers. He suggested budgeting $25,000 out of Park Dedication. It was
noted that if HAC wanted hardcovers they could pay for the difference.
Jacob noted that $1,000 should be added for the fence rail covers at Hunter Lions Park.
Lee requested that Scherer contact Three Rivers Park District to see if the City could
purchase a used snow machine from them for the sledding hill at Hamel Legion Park.
Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes

Medina City Hall
Page 10 of 11
Jacob questioned if the city would need a mower to maintain the future turf trails. Scherer
stated that we should wait until the trails are installed before purchasing, but it is
something to consider.
Gallup noted that a resident had requested that the city add a splash pad or public
swimming pool because there are none within miles of Medina. She showed pictures of
splash pads in other metro communities.
Linck asked Gallup to inform that resident that Orono Schools has a pool available to the
public for a small fee.
The Park Commission encouraged Gallup to do additional research on splash pads to
consider for the future.
A motion was made by Reid and seconded by DesLauriers to recommend approval of the
Capital Improvement Plan with the noted revisions. Motion passed unanimously.
8) Grant Applications
Lee stated that he would like the Park Commission to start looking at possible grant
applications for 2016. He reminded Gallup to ask the Park Commission for help with
future applications.
9) Staff Report
• Monarchs & Milkweed — Gallup reported that she had met with Connie Fortin
with Fortin Consulting and she had suggested that the city create a policy when
maintaining city property and acquiring new property to help create and protect
habitats for the Monarchs and other pollinators.
• The Park at Fields of Medina — Gallup showed pictures of the construction
progress at the Park at Fields of Medina. She also noted that the grand opening
event will be on Wednesday, August 26th at 6:00 p.m.
• Lakeshore Park Signs — Gallup reported that she had met with Reid and they
looked at all the signs within Lakeshore Park. They had come to a conclusion that
the exotic species sign was too hidden and should just be removed. They also
determined that a large display case was not appropriate for that site, but the
"Park Rules Sign" should be updated to look more aesthetically pleasing.
• Gallup reported that the Public Works Department had cleaned up the access to
the prairie area in Hunter Lions Park, added new woodchips to Morningside Park,
Hunter Lions Park, and Lakeshore Park, removed the extra picnic tables from
Hunter Lions Park, and removed the deteriorating sign at Holy Name Park.
• Scherer reported that a portion of the County Road 101 trail had been rebuilt and
paved. He also noted that he plans on seal coating the entire trail with the
remaining funds in the budget.

PIDs 2811823240001, 2111823340003, 2111823340002, 2111823340001
Dear Mr. Finke,
Thank you for meeting with our team a few weeks ago to discuss potential modifications to the approved
General Plan of Development ("General Plan") on the subject property. Our team was very encouraged
by the discussion, and we are excited by the prospect of making some minor modifications to enhance the
project and bring a Final Plan of Development to fruition with the City.
As discussed during the meeting our team is proposing to make some minor adjustments to the trail alignments
approved as part of the General Plan. We believe that the proposed changes will enhance the trail experience
not only for those living in the new development, but for the greater community of trail users.
Attached to this submittal we have included the following:
• A brief narrative summarizing the proposed alignment changes; and
• The alignment of the trails approved during the General Plan of Development; and
• The proposed modifications/adjustments to the trail alignment.
If you have any questions or need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact our team
and we will do our best to meet your requests. We look forward to discussing this proposal with the Park
Commission on January 20th, and appreciate your help and consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Susan H. Seeland

Narrative
The General Plan of Development ("General Plan") for the Stonegate project was approved on October 6, 2015.
The location of the trails and trail easements were identified on the grading plan and the preliminary plat, and
specific conditions were included in the resolution of approval which addressed trail surface types and easement
widths. While the trail plan approved as part of the General Plan is consistent with, and exceeds, the number of
trails identified in the City's Planning documents PRDC couldn't help but wonder...Do we have the right trail
alignments identified to create the best trail user experience?
So, once the General Plan was approved our team dove into the detailed planning and design of the site with
specific attention given to how the trails would interact with the conservation areas and open spaces. As a first step,
PRDC knew that engaging the right Landscape Architect was essential. PRDC worked with Roland Aberg of Hart
Howerton on preliminary land planning of the site several years ago and was confident that engaging him would
result in a thoughtful, and thorough, analysis of the trail experience throughout the site.
Our team, with the guidance of Hart Howerton, concluded that while many of the trail corridors identified in the
General Plan were adequate, there were opportunities to enhance the trail experience if some of the trails could be
realigned. The changes, if accepted, will provide an enhanced trail experience because the trails will meander deeper
into the conservation areas and will capitalize on the opportunity to capture long views and overlooks not currently
available with the approved trail configuration. In light of these opportunities, Hart Howerton has prepared the
attached graphic which depicts the proposed trail changes that PRDC believes would significantly enhance the trail
experience. The following summary of the adjustments and/or changes is provided to assist in your review:
Location: North 80-Acres
• Remove the Trail from the northerly cul-de-sac terminus to the `island'. The island will be a part of the
conservation area but is not a public open space. Therefore the trail in this location essentially dead ends,
and lacks a true `destination' or `loop'.
• The trails running adjacent to right-of-ways (ROW) are relocated to the conservation areas. Further detail
can be found in the following bullets.
• Relocate the trail adjacent to the Deer Hill Road ROW on Lots 1 & 2, Block 2 to the conservation area
running east and north of the two lots. The topography slopes graciously to the north in this area offering
fantastic long views of the Tamarack. This trail would be constructed using the same surface type as all
other trails in the development. In addition to constructing the trial, an overlook would be created for users
to stop and enjoy the vista. Since the trail will be in back of the homes the view will be uninterrupted.
• Relocate the trail adjacent to the Deer Hill Road ROW and northerly private cul-de-sac ROW into the
conservation area on the western edge of the site. This adjustment would allow the trail to be constructed
further up the slope thereby capturing longer views. An overlook would also be created in this area, adding _ •
interest to the user experience.
Location: South 90-Acres D
—• •
Introduce two soft bump -outs and curves into the alignment between Deer Hill Road and the Morningside CO
neighborhood along the eastern edge of the site. =
• Install and construct the trail segment running south out of the Morningside neighborhood connecting
with Deer Hill Road.

2. Park & Trail Master Plan — Lee
This plan was approved back in March 2014, but should be reviewed annually for
changes. Please continue to bring this plan with to all future meetings to reference. This
plan will be updated as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update process — hopefully by

future park improvements. It is a goal of the Park Commission to update this document
each year with accurate numbers.

The park is now open, but a few items still need to be completed this spring such as
creating a park rules sign, installing soccer nets, etc.
4. Monarch Butterfly Gardens
The Park Commission approved the planting of milkweed and other diverse nectar
sources around the holding ponds in Hamel Legion Park late last fall. The project is
scheduled to be completed this spring.

Subject: Thank you!!
Dear Jodi,
I have no idea how 9 years went by SO quickly, but it apparently did! It was certainly a pleasure to work with
you and Steve and all the Park Commissioners. I learned a great deal about the workings of a City and am very
impressed with everyone's dedication to keeping Medina the special place it certainly is. Please thank the
Commissioners for me -- the bird books are great -- what a surprise gift!. I am looking forward to sharing the
"large book of birds" with my grand kids once we get settled. And, the other more expert guide book will
definitely be useful in learning all those new sea birds.
My email will remain the same so we are hoping for some Minnesota visitors to Rehoboth. Our new old house
is about 1/2 hour east of Providence, RI.
I hope to still write the lawn article once I wrap up my Three Rivers work and I will be contacting the Bluebird
volunteers to remind them once April comes round again.
Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2016!
Madeleine
