4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF MEDINA ROAD FROM BROCKTON
LANE TO HOLY NAME DRIVE
Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. to hear comments
on the construction of Medina Road from Brockton Lane to Holy Name
Drive and to consider objections to the proposed assessments for
said improvement.
The proposed improvements included subdrain tile, grading,
stabilization fabric and gravel base which would be constructed by
the City Public Works Department. The street surfacing, gravel
shoulders, and restoration would be contracted at an estimated cost
34
of $101,810. Benefitting properties would be assessed on a unit
basis at a cost of $4,615. The total assessed cost for the project
was $16,152.50 which included three and a half units.
Rex Gregor, 2592 Holy Name Drive, said he received a full
assessment when Holy Name Drive was constructed in 1987. Gregor
said he did not want to participate in creating a precedent for
assessing properties which had already paid a full assessment.
However, Gregor did want the road paved and was willing to make a
contribution not to exceed $2,000.
Leroy Undis, 222 Medina Road, said he was tired of the dust and
favored paving the road. However, Undis disagreed with the method
in which his property was assessed. Undis also pointed out that
Rochie Begin, 2595 Holy Name Drive, was being assessed for a
unbuildable lot.
Loren Kohnen said he was not aware that Begin's lot might be
unbuildable.
Steve Schmidt, 1045 Medina Road, said Medina Road should be
completed to move some of the traffic off of Holy Name Drive.
Galen Bruer, 2815 Capriole Drive, said he was pleased to see there
was some effort to get the remainder of the road paved.
Ron Batty explained the appeal process.
Leroy Undis submitted a written objection to his assessment.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to adopt Resolution No. 95-06,
"Resolution Ordering Improvement of Medina Road from Brockton Lane
to Holy Name Drive; Ordering Preparation of Plans and
Specifications Regarding Same."
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.
Resolution No. 95-06 adopted on a 4-aye and 0-nay vote.
Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Thies, to table adoption of
assessment roll until the March 21, 1995 meeting to give staff an
opportunity to find out if Rex Gregor had paid a full assessment on
his lot and to determine whether Rochie Begin had a buildable lot.
Motion passed unanimously.
5. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED USE OF 1995 CDBG FUNDS
Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. to hear comments
on the projected use of funds for the 1995 Urban Hennepin County
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
Jim Dillman said the 1995 CDBG allocation of $14,479 would go
toward a park design and development plan for the newly acquired
Hamel Park.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Thies, to adopt Resolution No. 95-07,
"Resolution Approving Projected Use of Funds for 1995 Urban
35
Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program."
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.

Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. to hear comments
on a proposed amendment to Year 19 and Year 20 Projected Use of
Funds in the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program.
The city proposed to reallocate $7,201 in Year XIX CDBG funds
(Handicapped Accessibility --Lakeshore Park) and $14,002 in Year XX
funds (Hamel Sewer Infiltration Study) for the removal of
architectural barriers at the Medina city hall which restricted the
mobility and accessibility of elderly or disabled persons.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to adopt Resolution No. 95-08,
"Resolution Approving Amendment to the Proposed Use of Year 19 and
Year 20 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant
Funds."
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.

8. BFI/WOODLAKE SANITARY SERVICE - REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION OF
LETTER OF CREDIT
In a letter to the city, Woodlake Sanitary Service, Inc. requested
the cancellation of the $300,000 letter of credit held by the City
of Medina. The letter of credit had been set up to cover concerns
and performance issues at Woodlake Sanitary Landfill during its
operation. Woodlake noted that it was appropriate to dispense with
the letter of credit since the landfill was closed and in its post -
closure period with the MPCA. In addition, during the post -closure
period, the financial requirements of the landfill would be covered
by the State of Minnesota.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Johnson, to cancel Woodlake's $300,000
letter of credit. Motion passed unanimously.
9. NICK OEFFLING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Nick Oeffling, 4455 Co. Rd. 19, requested permission to remove an
existing barn and replace it with a 54 foot by 90 foot building.
The building would be used for agricultural purposes. The planning
commission recommended approval with four conditions.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to direct staff to prepare a
resolution granting approval of a conditional use permit for Nick
Oeffling to remove an existing barn on his property at 4455 Co. Rd.
36
19 and to replace it with a 54 foot by 90 foot building to be used
for agricultural purposes, subject to the four conditions
recommended by the planning commission. Motion passed unanimously.
10. STRAIGHT LINE AUTO BODY - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES
Jim O'Brien of Straight Line Auto Body requested a conditional use
permit to construct a 3480 square foot auto body shop at 740 Tower
Drive. O'Brien also needed three setback variances because the
shape and size of the lot presented a hardship. The planning
commission recommended that the conditional use permit be granted
with ten conditions, including two 12 foot rear yard variances and
a side yard variance of 15 feet.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to direct city staff to
prepare a resolution granting approval of a conditional use permit
to Straight Line Auto Body for an auto body shop at 740 Tower
Drive, subject to the ten conditions recommended by the planning
commission. Motion passed unanimously.
11. MICHAEL SEELAND, STONEGATE FARM, INC. - REZONING
Michael Seeland, Stonegate Farm, Inc., applied for a rezoning of
140.89 acres of former Vo-Tech property south of Medina from Rural
Residential to Agricultural Preservation. Seeland said he wished
to go into the Metropolitan Ag Preservation Program and in order to
do so the land needed to be rezoned to agricultural.
Ron Batty said if the property was designated as ag preserve, the
city would give up significant control over the property. Batty
said the advantage of doing it was that it tied up the property for
a considerable amount of time; at the minimum, eight years.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to direct staff to prepare an
ordinance amendment for the rezoning of 140.89 acres of land from
Rural Residential to Agricultural Preservation. Motion passed
unanimously.

Electric in the amount of $1,800 as a donation from their Operation
Round Up Program.

was donated specifically for video and audio taping equipment.
John Ferris said he would find out what the police department
needed and then try to obtain the least expensive equipment
possible.

14. CO. RD. 116 TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PILING IMPROVEMENTS
Shawn Gustafson said Lametti & Sons was not having the problem of
the pipe moving the second time around. Gustafson said the
contractor should complete the piling improvements in the next
week.
15. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL FORMS
The council discussed the pros and cons of a performance appraisal
form drafted by John Ferris.
The council agreed that they should continue to discuss the issue
at the next meeting.

Order Check Numbers 14296-14355 for $761,488.56 and Payroll Check
