Mayor John Ferris presided. Members present: Ferris, Zietlow, Hamilton, and Thies. Johnson came in at 7:35 p.m. Members absent: Ferris left at 8:20 p.m. Also present: Police Chief Ed Belland, Attorney Ron Batty, Public Works Director Jim Dillman, City Prosecutor Steve Tallen, Zoning Administrator Loren Kohnen, City Engineer Glenn Cook, and City Clerk -Treasurer Paul Robinson. 1. Additions to the Agenda Request from Mayor of Maple Plain concerning Townline Road. Moved by Ann Thies, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the agenda as amended. Motion passed unanimously. 2. Consent Agenda John Hamilton pulled Item No. C. Designation of Official Newspaper. Moved by Ann Thies, seconded by John Hamilton to approve Items A & B on the consent agenda. A. Designation of Official Depositories. B. Resolution 98-01 Designating Institutions for Investment. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Designating Legal Newspaper Moved by John Ferns, seconded by Ann Thies to approve the Lakeshore Weekly News as the city's legal newspaper. Ann Thies said that one advantage of the Lakeshore Weekly News was that it's free. Phil Zietlow asked how many people were receiving each paper. John Hamilton said that the Lakeshore Weekly News does a fine job, but the Crow River News feels more like a community newspaper, not just minutes of the meeting, but actual real Medina issues. There was some discussion about the cost of publishing legal notices and the number of subscriptions/circulation for each paper. Paul Robinson said that the city spends between $2,000 - $2,500 for legal publications each year. He said he could provide information about the circulation and subscriptions for each paper at the next meeting. John Ferris and Ann Thies withdrew the motion. Moved by John Ferris, seconded by Ann Thies, to table the designation of the city's legal newspaper until the January 20 city council meeting. Motion passed unanimously, Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 2 4. Approval of the Minutes from December 16, 1997. Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Phil Zietlow to approve the minutes from the December 16, 1997 Regular City Council Meeting as presented. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Comments from Citizens on Items Not on the Agenda - There were none. 6. Park Commission Comments Jim Dillman said they closed the Hunter skating rink and moved the rink to Hamel Legion Park behind Farmers State Bank of Hamel. Jim Johnson said that the rink is very large and nice -looking. He said Jim Dillman did a good job on it. 7. Planning Commission Comments Loren Kohnen said the planning commission will be reviewing a proposed for a seven lot residential development northwest Foxberry Farm and a conditional use permit for reconstruction of a barn at Baker Park. 8. Update from the City Prosecutor, Steve Tallen Steve Tallen said since the police department was not at full strength during 1997 there was a decreased level of prosecution activity and smaller bills for prosecution. For 1998 things are picking up again. The manpower will be back to full strength, and once again there will be more activity and an increase in the prosecution bills. Tallen said there were not a lot of memorable cases during 1997. He said the court of appeals denied the City's appeal in the Jedlicka case and so he was proceeding without the appeal. He said there were a number of changes to the DWI laws taking effect January 1, 1998. Tallen said he thought the new laws were pushing the edge of aggressiveness in outlawing this behavior. Tallen believed there would be 12 to 18 months of litigation concerning the stricter statutes. He said, hopefully, larger cities such as Minneapolis or Duluth will end up working out these litigation issues and not the smaller cities which have fewer resources. Tallen said the changes included an increase in mandatory jail time and forfeiture of vehicle on the third DWI offense. Tallen said the current laws have done a good job of reducing the number of first time offenders, but have not sufficiently deterred repeat offenders. Therefore, the new laws are working to strengthen the laws against repeat offenders. Tallen said another issue for 1998 was a movement in Hennepin County by the court administrators to adjust the fine distribution. He said that later this month, on the 22nd' there will be a meeting on this issue. He will keep in touch with the police chief on this matter. Tallen said that based on the current proposal Medina would receive $5,000 to $10,000 a year less in fine revenue. That amount would go to fund court administration. Tallen thanked the city council and asked if there were any questions. Phil Zietlow asked who makes the final determination on what percentage of fine revenue the city will receive. Tallen said it was established by state statute. He said that at this point he did not see any wide acceptance for this proposal. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 3 Phil Zietlow said, since it may be costly to prosecute some of the DWI's, would it be possible to lay back and let other people defend these lawsuits. Tallen said, if any case were appealed that appeal would be brought to the city council and the city council would have to decide whether or not to go forward with it. Phil Zietlow asked if a decision like this is likely to end up going to the Supreme Court. Tallen said it's possible but it's unlikely that Medina will be the city that will bring it there. OLD BUSINESS 9. Police Garage Addition Ed Belland said the garage addition was moving forward. By the end of next week they should have the sheet rock up and start painting. The lights, the outlets, and the remaining portions of the project should be completed some time in the next two to three weeks. Ann Thies said that in the contract it said they should have achieved substantial completion by 120 days or December 19. Ed Belland said that by the end of the week it would be substantially completed. Ann Thies said that if there isn't substantial completion, the City would have some recourse based on the contract. 10. Wichita Trail Sewer Glenn Cook used an overhead to explain the project. Cook said that on December 11th city staff met with residents from Wichita Trail about sewer service to their homes. He said that the complete project, sewer and water, would cost around $578,563, according to his initial estimates. If they were to construct a sewer line alone to the effected properties, it would cost around $180,000. Adding water at this time would not be as practical since all of the homeowners in that area have working wells. If just the sewer were constructed, a grinder pump lift station would be used, minor patching would be done to the road, and a forcemain would hook this line to the existing sewer system. This would reduce the area of service from the larger plan. The city, however, could pick up a few additional homes in the future. Currently, with six home units, the cost would be around $25,000 per unit, with the city picking up around $50,000. Some of that $50,000 would be paid back when one to four additional units were added. Cook said if the city council were to weight the cost of the two options, it would probably be a wash. The smaller project would be wasting some construction dollars, but the interest earned on the money not spent on the larger project would pay for the smaller project over time. Cook said at this point it is impossible to have complete cost information without soil borings. Dick Marnach, owner of property at 4565 Wichita Trail, said that he had recently educated himself about the MUSA boundaries and about 2-inch sewer pipes. He said he talked to Don Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 4 Perot the superintendent of sewer designs and Perot explained that a 2 inch sewer main would work well with a grinder pump lift station. He said the turn around time, right now, would be two days. During the summer it can take five to six weeks. Marnach said he also spoke with Tom Caswell of the Metropolitan Council. Caswell said that the turn around time for the Metropolitan Council was about three to four weeks for expansion of a MUSA line to accommodate a small area. Marnach gave the example of the Diamond Lake project in the city of Dayton where the turn around time was around three to four weeks. Marnach said that four out of the six property owners were strongly in favor of the project, one was undecided, and one was against, unless he was able to subdivide his property. Marnach said that the person who tested his septic system said there was sewage leaking into Lake Peter from multiple sources. Marnach asked the city council to proceed with the feasibility study since a majority of the homeowners were willing to pay up to a $25,000 assessment. Phil Zietlow said that was okay except for the $50,000 that the city would have to pay. He said that if the properties along Wichita Trail were able to split their lots there would be additional assessments to share the cost of this project and reduce the city's portion of the project. There was some discussion about the current zoning (rural residential -RR). This designation would need to be changed to allow for development with sewer. This would allow denser growth and some subdivision of properties along Wichita Trail. There was some discussion about the property owner who did not want to be assessed for this project. Glenn Cook said if he was assessed and appealed the assessment, he would more than likely get the assessment reduced. Cook said that unless property owners were willing to go forward with this project, it would not be in the city's best interest to go forward. Phil Zietlow said that if the assessments were divided by six properties it would cost around $32,000 per parcel. If it was divided by seven, it would be around $27,000 per parcel, and if it were divided by eight it would be around $24,000 per parcel. Glenn Cook said that the trunk fees paid into the sewer system, by those using the system, are used to fund different projects throughout the system. He said the City could fund a portion of this project with those funds. Phil Zietlow said that a majority of Medina residents don't use the sewer system. Zietlow said that the people who use it pay for it. Dick Marnach said he believed this project was worth a feasibility study. Phil Zietlow said they will need to get one extra person in order to bring the assessment down to the level to 25,000. Dick Marnach said if he were able to subdivide his property, he would also pay a second assessment for his lot so he could eventually subdivide his property. Ann Thies asked if the 2-3 properties to the west of this project were interested in hooking up to sewer. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 5 Glenn Cook said they were notified and no one showed any interest right now. (John Ferris was not feeling well and left the meeting at 8:20 p.m. - Ann Thies presided as acting mayor) Ron Batty said the city council would need to hold an assessment hearing. If there were no appeals or enough that did not appeal the projects assessments the council could order the project. Ann Thies said that it looks like it would be worth pursuing if some of the properties would be able to split their properties and pay for additional assessments. Ron Batty asked how large the parcels were. Dick Marnach said that he would have enough to make two six and a half -acre parcels. He thought his neighbor had ten acres. Loren Kohnen said he was not sure of the size. Ron Batty said the largest sewered lots to date have been 30,000 square foot lots. Glenn Cook thought that there would probably be room for two more lots available for a total of eight. Loren Kohnen said that there was only so much road frontage to access these properties. Ann Thies asked if the council would like to move forward with the feasibility study. Phil Zietlow said it seems like the numbers are close enough to go forward if the city does not have to carry the project. Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve Resolution 98-02 ordering a feasibility study for the Wichita Trail sewer project. Motion passed unanimously. 10. Engineering Fee Increase Glenn Cook said included in the packet was a breakdown of the BRAA fee increases for 1998. Roughly, there is a 3% overall increase. Ann Thies said in 1997 the city's primary usage was with a registered engineer. She asked if this would be the case in 1998. Glenn Cook said he was not able to predict that. He said they would keep the net rate increase to 3% for 1998. If at the end of the year there are any differences they will send the city a check for the difference. Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Jim Johnson, to accept the 3% overall increase in engineering fees from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik. Motion passed unanimously. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 6 NEW BUSINESS 11. Lance Beaulieu 2662 Hamel Road, Two Lot Subdivision Loren Kohnen said that Mr. and Mrs. Beaulieu would like to subdivide their property of 38.73 acres into two parcels, Lot 1 23.27 acres and Lot 2 15.10 acres. Lot 1 has the Beaulieu's home and accessory buildings on it. Both parcels meet the soil requirements. Lot 2 does have areas for an animal structure. Kohnen said he spoke with Dave Zetterstrom of Hennepin County Roads regarding the subdivision and driveway access, since Hamel Road is now a county road. He has no problem with the current driveway location, but there must be a 60' x 100' outlot located at Hamel Road. Lot 1 can enter the 60' x 100' outlot from the north, and the driveway from Lot 2 must enter from the east side of the 60' x 100' outlot. No park dedication fees are required because of the lot size. Kohnen said that plans and letters from applicants are attached as well as information from the city engineer Glenn Cook. Staff and the planning commission recommend approval of the two -lot subdivision with two conditions — 1. That the outlot should be 60' x 100', and 2. The cul de sac not be required. He said this lot subdivision was approved by the city council in 1991, however, the plat was never filed. He said that Mr. Beaulieu promised to follow through and file the documents once approved. These plans are basically identical to the 1991 plans. Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by John Hamilton to authorize a resolution approving preliminary plat with the conditions as required by the planning commission. Voting in favor: Zietlow, Hamilton, Johnson. Abstaining: Thies. Motion passed. 12. Replat of Properties for Joe Francis and Berthiaume Commercial Lawn, North of Highway 55, West of County Road 101 Loren Kohnen said Joe Francis and Steven Fornas wished to combine all of their properties and then split the property into two lots and one outlot. Lot 1 will be 2.18 acres in area, Lot 2, which has Berthiaume Lawn and Snow buildings on it, will be 1.68 acres, and outlot A will be .33 acres in area. The existing house and garage, on the north property line of outlot A, will be removed. Lot 1 will be used for the proposed Holiday Station convenience store, liquor store, and car wash. Lot 2 will continue to be used by Berthiaume Lawn and Snow, Inc. Outlot A will serve as access to County Road 101 for Berthiaume and Holiday. This will be the future Clydesdale Trail frontage road. Ownership of outlot A will remain with Mr. Francis/Holiday until there is future development to the west at which time it will be transferred to the City. Kohnen said the site for Clydesdale has been reviewed and approved by Hennepin County and the city engineer as well as the proposed improvements to County Road 101. Both Lots 1 and 2 must dedicate a 10-foot trail easement along County Road 101. Additional information is included in the packet from the county and the city engineer. Kohnen said the planning commission recommended approval of the replat with one condition, that access to the Berthiaume property be limited to Clydesdale Trail. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 7 Ann Thies said a number of papers and items were handed out at the beginning of the meeting that she and other council members have not had a chance to read. Dean Barkley, attorney representing Mayer Mobil, said he did not receive final plans until yesterday. At that point he retained an engineer to review the plans and formed a response, as quick as possible. He was not able to disseminate this response until today. Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the lot combination and replat. Motion passed unanimously. 14. Joe Francis Holiday, 200 Highway 55, Conditional Use Permit for Holiday Convenience Store/Gas Station/Liquor Store/Car Wash Loren Kohnen said Mr. Francis wished to construct a Holiday Station with a convenience store, liquor store, and car wash at the northwest corner of County Road 101 and State Trunk Highway 55. Kohnen said this area was currently zoned urban commercial and that this proposal was permitted in this zoning district with a conditional use permit. The lot size is 2.18 acres with access from the proposed Clydesdale Trail. Clydesdale will be constructed by the applicant, as well as improvements to County Road 101. Kohnen said that when the property to the west is developed, Clydesdale Trail would then be extended to the west. Kohnen said the liquor store would be 3,821 feet in area. The station store and A & W eating area will be 4,307 square feet in area, and the car wash will be 1,430 for a total of 9,558 square feet. The canopy will be approximately 135 feet by 30 feet in size, the car wash will be a recycled type. The building will be constructed of concrete and brick. Mr. Francis' proposal meets the city ordinances and performance standards. Building exterior, parking, landscaping, and setbacks are also met. No variances are required. Additional letters from the applicant and letters from the city engineer and Hennepin County were included in the council packet. Kohnen said that the planning commission approved the conditional use permit with 18 conditions. Steve Johnston, Landform Engineering Company, described the layout of the proposed project. He explained the function of the traffic lanes, the access to the property, and the design of the landscaping plans. Ann Thies asked if there would be a problem with light from the station shining onto Trunk Highway 55. Johnston said that at the edges of the property the lighting would be zero feet candles. Jim Johnson said that he was concerned about the traffic impact on Highway 101. Johnston said the current site of Clydesdale Trail was chosen to minimize the problems with the grade coming down the hill on 101. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 8 Loren Kohnen said that he spoke with Julius Dorweiler. Dorweiler's concern was that lighting not be allowed that shined onto his property. Kohnen said if the city council approves, the lighting plan would be subject to staff approval. John Hamilton said this project has been an issue for a while. It looks like a good project and it looks like the concerns about the road have been dealt with. Dean Barkley, attorney for Randy Mayer, said he went through this report on Monday and also had an independent analysis done by an engineer. He said that he had a number of concerns with the conditional use permit as outlined in his letter to the City Council. His first concern was the total number of parking spaces required and if any additional spaces would be required to accommodate the indoor seating for the A & W. There was some discussion about the number of parking spaces required per seat and whether or not this requirement should be added to the 1 parking space per 150 square feet of area requirement. Dean Barkley said that section 828.48 of the city code required parking spaces to be 9 feet by 20 feet. Barkley said that in the proposal the parking spots were 9 feet by 18 feet, which are smaller than the ordinance allows. Loren Kohnen said that he spent one whole evening calculating the parking requirements based on the city's requirements. Dean Barkley said that the liquor store was being treated the same as the gas station. He said there was no provision in the city's ordinance for a convenience store where there are multiple purposes for one building such as this. Ron Batty said that, in general, parking requirements are determined by adding together the square footage requirements for each use. Loren Kohnen said that's what he did. He said there was also parking under the canopy. Dean Barkley said that Mayer Mobil was not allowed to count the number of parking spaces under his canopy. Barkley said that he recently worked on a store in Lakeville where they did not count the parking underneath the canopy. Barkley said nothing in Medina's ordinance addresses this issue. Barkley said if you count 20 parking spaces under the canopy, that would bring the total number of parking spaces to 64, or without there would be 44 which would not be enough to qualify. Barkley said that this leads into his third point which was the number of spaces calculated under the canopy. He said no matter how you calculate it you could only fit 10 spaces, not 20, under the canopy. Steve Johnston from Landform Engineering said there was an error on the plan. He said there were are only 10 spaces under the canopy. This would bring the total spaces to 54 as required. He said that in projects he's worked on, some cities allow parking under the canopy and some cities do not. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 9 Loren Kohnen said they have counted parking under the canopy before such as the Holiday Station by Maple Plain. He said Mayer Mobil never asked whether or not the parking under the canopy could be allowed. Dean Barkley asked if the setbacks were based on commercial usage, an automated car wash, or a liquor store. He said service stations, liquor stores, and car washes, all have different setback requirements. Loren Kohnen said a conditional use permit would be required for each of these uses. Dean Barkley said that he's okay with that, he's not claiming it's illegal, he's just pointing it out. Loren Kohnen said that he focused on the major use of the property, which was as a gas station, not a liquor store. Dean Barkley said the city should have a convenience store ordinance. He said there was a lessening of the rules in order to allow a liquor store to work on this property. Dean Barkley said there were 13 parking spaces in the parking area on the east side of 101, in the city's ordinance, parking spaces cannot be less than 25 feet from the property line unless there is a four -foot berm. He pointed out on the plans, it's currently 16 feet from the property line without a berm. Kohnen said the parking situation here was being treated the same as McDonald's. Barkley said that parking should be 25 feet unless there is a berm. Kohnen said that half of the required setback is required for service stations. He said because the major use of this property was a service station the setbacks he used were for a service station. There was some additional discussion about the amount of setback required for service stations vs. liquor stores. Since there is no provision in the ordinance that addresses convenience stores specifically, Kohnen said that through the CUP process the city council requires appropriate conditions as it has done for other convenience stores in the city. Greg Ebert, Ebert Construction Inc., said that when they applied for a conditional use permit for the Stop-N-Go liquor, their convenience store was also treated like a service station and it has always been treated that way. He said the city has remained consistent in interpreting this building as a service station. Dean Barkley questioned whether gas sales would be the primary sales for the Holiday Store. He said he also owns a convenience store and only 1/3 of the business is related to gas. Joe Francis said that at his existing Holiday gas station, 2/3 of his sales comes from gas and 1/3 comes from what's inside. They expect that to be the same for this Holiday station. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 10 Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Hamilton, to authorize a resolution approving the conditional use permit for Holiday Convenience Store with the 18 conditions as listed by the planning commission. There was some additional discussion about whether or not there should be multiple CUP's or one CUP. This decision was left up to the city attorney and the zoning administrator. Motion passed unanimously. 15. Resolution Endorsing Candidates to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(MCWD) Phil Zietlow said the steering committee for cities of the MCWD set up a subcommittee to interview a number of candidates to recommend for appointment on the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Included in the council packet was a resolution for approval by the city council. Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the resolution endorsing candidates for the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Motion passed unanimously. 16. Police Officer Hiring Update Ed Belland said applications closed today and they received 35 applications. Ed Belland said that they refined the application review process and 75% of the evaluation had already been completed. He asked if there were any council members interested in reviewing the cover letters and resumes. Jim Johnson and Ann Thies said that they would be interested. 17. Letter from Hamel Lions Club Regarding Their Donations to the Hamel Legion Park for a Community Building Jim Johnson said he wanted to have this letter put into the file. Phil Zietlow said he did not remember a community building in the park plans. He remembered a warming house, but was not so sure that the city committed to having a community building. Jim Dillman said that there was always talk of a community center, even if it's not on the current plan. Phil Zietlow said that we were getting ahead of ourselves. Marty Elstrom, reporter for Lakeshore Weekly News, looked at the plan at the back of the council chambers and said that listed on the map was a building called "community building". The city council had a number of questions about the stipulations listed in the letter and potential staging of this project. There was some confusion about exactly what the Lions Club wanted and how the city council and the park commission were planning to stage development of the park. In order to help clarify these issues, the city council decided to set up a meeting with representatives of the Lions Club, Athletic Association, and the City Council and staff to Medina City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 1998 11 meet together and discuss the development of the park and the designation of the donations for the community building. 18. Park Commission Appointments Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to reappoint Tom Gregor and Steve Schmit to an additional three-year term on the Park Commission effective January 1998 and expiring in January 2001. Motion passed unanimously. 19. Purchase of a Phone System A memo from Paul Robinson stated that the city could purchase a two year phone system to replace the city's current system for around $5,000. This system would include voice mail. Robinson's memo stated that additional $1,000 to $2,000 for installation would also be needed. There was some discussion about how this system would be used and that voice mail would not become the city's primary method for answering incoming phone calls. Phil Zietlow said the city doesn't need a phone system today, but at some point in the near future, two to three years. At that time the system would cost around $20,000 so it makes sense to purchase the system now while the opportunity exists. Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by John Hamilton, to approve purchase of the phone system. Motion passed unanimously. 20. Appointments for 1998 Office or Committee 1. Acting Mayor 2. Public Safety Commissioner 3. Public Works Commissioner 4. Planning & Zoning Commissioner 5. Parks Commissioner 6. Commissioner of Administration 7. Finance Committee 8. City Attorney 9.

Motion passed unanimously. 21. Pay the Bills Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Hamilton to approve the bills, order check numbers 17917-17975 for $65,171.51 and payroll check numbers 15487-15503 for $10, 608.52. Motion passed unanimously. 22. Request by Mayor of Maple Plain Concerning Town Line Road Loren Kohnen said that Mayor Vigoren spoke to John Ferris about closing Townline Road. John Ferris directed him to speak to staff about that issue and to have staff bring it to the city council's attention. Mayor Vigoren would like County Road 19 to end at State Highway 12. They would also like a signal light at that intersection. There was some discussion about whether or not the city council would be in favor of closing Townline Road. They were not in favor of closing Townline Road but were strongly in favor of a signal light at the intersection of County Road 29 and 12. Glenn Cook said that currently a signal was programmed to be installed at that intersection in the year 2001 or 2002. 19. Adjournment Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to adjourn the meeting at 10:58 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. B.
