B. Park Commission
Scherer noted that the Park Commission met to discuss trail connections and the prior

C. Planning Commission
Planning Commissioner Barry reported that the Planning Commission met the previous
week to consider two items. He stated that the first was a concept plan review for an 80-
unit senior assisted living facility that would also include a commercial and business
building. He stated that the largest aspect of the discussion was the rezoning that would
be necessary and whether the Commission would like to approve the rezoning prior to
the new Comprehensive Plan becoming active. He noted that the commercial and
business definitions are very similar and therefore the Commission felt that they could
support the rezoning should this continue to move forward. He stated that the second
item considered was a public hearing for a 42-unit memory care facility, which required a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning. He noted that this item also had
discussion on whether to rezone and amend prior to the new Comprehensive Plan
becoming effective. He noted that the Commission did recommend approval of the
request.
VII. NEW BUSINESS

Council has denied those requests. He stated that if the applicant feels strongly they
should request a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Mitchell noted that this would not draw a large amount of traffic to the site, which is in
agreement with what the City wants. He stated that he attended the Planning
Commission meeting and endorsed the comment that the applicant work with the
adjacent property owner for a possible driveway that would avoid the wetland. He stated
that the applicant has stated that they would like flexibility in the unit type so that they
can change over time based on the market demands. He cautioned to ensure that if
flexibility is provided, a sufficient amount of parking is still provided. He stated that this
seems to be a lot of development on not so much land.
Cousineau stated that there is real emphasis on the business park zoning that the
buildings should blend into the surroundings and she commented that perhaps the
landscaping could be tweaked to better blend. She noted that the height of the building
would stand out a lot compared to the surrounding uses.
Pederson stated that applicants have complained later in the process about the cost of
underground parking and noted that the applicant should be aware of that cost as the
underground parking would be needed to support this level of development.
Anderson noted the applicant should be aware of the potential cost of expanding
Chippewa that would come along with that road project.
Mitchell stated that this is a terrific use for the property. He stated that the Council is
getting into the design details in order to provide a higher level of comment to the
applicant. He stated that he is in favor of the project with the comments the Council
made tonight.
Pederson stated that he is also in agreement with the project as long as the details could
be worked out.
Cousineau stated that she would be willing to rezone to high density if we could ensure
our density is not in excess of our required numbers.
Finke provided additional details on the process that would be necessary to change the
zoning to high density. He stated that at the Planning Commission, the applicant did say
that if the rezoning was done to high density they would not be opposed to that and
would then choose high density rather than senior living.
Cousineau asked if this could create a creep in the increase of residential units that
would not count towards high density requirements.
Finke stated that there are a number of acres available for business development that
could be used for assisted type living.
Dean Lunski, applicant, stated that they purchased the property in 2005 with the intent to
develop in 2005, but a moratorium was placed and therefore they have not been able to
develop. He stated that if they were going to rezone to residential they would go to
multi -family housing rather than independent/assisted living as that use is also highly in

Finke noted that the development would only occur based on market demands. He
stated that the Council could make the decision to phase out senior housing but the
housing objectives suggest that the Council does not want to do that.
Mitchell stated that it appears that the Council can move the Comprehensive Plan
forward.
Finke clarified that moving forward is simply releasing the document for jurisdictional
review and it is not the last time the Council will see the plan.
Stremel provided additional details on the costs, for items such as the water tower,
which will be included.
Anderson referenced the surface water management plan and referenced a suggested
grammatical change.
Finke noted that the Chippewa extension is identified in the transportation plan, although
a specific timeframe or funding source is not mentioned.
Pederson recused himself.
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Cousineau, to direct staff to route the 2020-2040
Comprehensive Plan to affected jurisdictions for their review and comment. Motion
passed unanimously.
Pederson rejoined the Council.
IX. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT (8:19 p.m.)
Johnson provided information on the proposed Baker Park Ravine Stabilization project
that was recently presented by Three Rivers Park to the Pioneer Sarah Creek
Watershed. He noted that if all the grant funds are received, the cost to Medina would
be $10,500 for the phosphorus reduction project. The estimated phosphorus reduction
is 134 pounds. He noted that Medina's project potion could be funded under the 2018
CIP.
Pederson commented that this seems to be a great value.
Johnson confirmed the consensus of the Council to add the project to the 2018 CIP.
X. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (8:20 p.m.)
Anderson stated that he attended the mayors' dinner the previous week and provided an
update. He stated that he informed the group of the newly appointed youth member to
the Parks Commission and the group thought it was a great idea. He stated that the
senior engineer at MnDOT spoke on a state-wide basis in regards to roads and
transportation. He noted that the maintenance budget for the next several years far
exceeds the available funds and therefore there will be deterioration of roadways and
road closures. He stated that after the after the 2018 Super Bowl transportation will
continue to be a key issue for the legislature.
Johnson stated that he attended the West Metro Drug Task Force luncheon, noting that
two of the officers that are moving on were commended for their years of service. He
