VII. PRESENTATIONS
A. Fire Department Annual Reports — Hamel, Long Lake, Loretto and Maple Plain Fire
Departments will be providing the City Council with their Annual Reports at the meeting.
No attachments.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Deerhill Preserve Final Plat and ROW Vacation —Public Hearing — On October 6, 2015,
the City Council granted preliminary approval to Property Resources Development
Corporation for the Stonegate Conservation Design -Planned Unit Development (CD-
PUD). The applicant has now requested final approval of the plat. The applicant
proposes to develop the property in phases, with this initial plat including 10 of the single
family lots on the northeast portion of the site. The Developer has also requested that the
City vacate much of the right-of-way which they believe exists on their property for
Deerhill Road which is located along the section line. The section line bisects some of
their lots as well as some of the conservation areas.
See attached memo and resolution.
Recommended Motion: A motion to direct staff to prepare a resolution granting final plat
approval subject to the conditions noted in the staff report and to finalize the
Development Agreement by and between the City of Medina and Property Resources
Development Corporation.
B. Connection Fee Reduction Request for Proposed Wealshire Project — On March 10, 2016,
staff received a letter from Thomas A. Wiskow, President/CEO of Wealshire. Mr.
Wiskow is requesting City Council review of the SAC/WAC fees of $181,650 for their
proposed 84 room memory care facility. Mr. Wiskow is also requesting the City of
Medina fees be paid in 5 equal payments over a 5-year period. Staff supports the fees
being paid in 5 equal payments, but does not support any changes to the SAC/WAC
charges until the analysis can be based on the updated Comprehensive Plan.
2
See attached report.
Possible Motion: A motion to approve language changes to 21.00 Economic
Development Fee Deferral Program to allow for payment over 5 years for
projects over 10 units or $90,000 in SAC/WAC fees.
C. Fuel Tank Lease at 600 Clydesdale Trail — Public Works and Police have been weighing
options over the past year on the relocation of the fuel dispensing system to 600
Clydesdale Trail. It is not feasible to move the existing underground tanks from the City
Ha11 site nor does the City want to monitor fuel on both sites. Staff recommends changing
to an above ground system at 600 Clydesdale Trail and partnering with Beaudry Oil to
supply the equipment. Staff also recommends budgeting to decommission the old tanks in
2017.
See attached memo and proposal.
Recommended Motion: A motion to direct staff to hook up emergency power to
the new pumps at a cost of $2, 000.00 and enter into an agreement with Beaudry
oil using the no cost option #2 of the attached proposal.
IX. OLD BUSINESS
A. City Hall Basement Remodel Plans and Specifications — Staff is requesting approval of
the plans, specifications, and the renovation drawings for remodeling the lower level area
at City Hall. Much of the project cost involves providing badly needed restrooms, a
break area, and meeting space. The space vacated upstairs by Planning, Building, and
Public Works will be utilized by the Finance Department. The proposed plans will
accommodate future space needs for the City.
See attached memo and resolution.
Recommended Motion: Adopt Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and
Ordering Advertisement for Bids for Medina City Hall Lower Level
Improvements.
XII. APPROVAL TO PAY BILLS
Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the bills, EFT 003584E-003608E for $63,568.91,

19 there were no public comments received and the Commission recommended approval of
20 the amendment to the Ordinance. She stated that the Commission also considered a
21 revised Site Plan for Wealshire of Medina, which replaces the underground parking with
22 at grade parking and proposed that the fire lane be constructed with gravel rather than
23 bituminous. She stated that the Commission recommended approval of the request with
24 an additional condition regarding additional screening. She noted that the Commission
25 also received an update on the progress of the Comprehensive Plan process and the
26 Commission reached consensus to support the goals as proposed but would like to see
27 additional revision of the language used in the vision and mission statements.
28

33 advised that the Committee will continue to work on that aspect during this process.
34
35 VII. NEW BUSINESS
36
37 A. Arrowhead Drive Trail Extension Project (7:10 p.m.)
38 Johnson stated that staff has developed a report for the trail extension which will connect
39 from Bridgewater down to Meander and is a key component to providing the Bridgewater
40 residents with access to The Park at Fields of Medina.
41
42 Scherer stated that the proposed trail is approximately 3,000 feet from Bridgewater Road
43 to Meander Road. He noted that this segment was identified as a priority and therefore
44 was moved up one year on the Capital Improvement Plan. He stated that the estimated
45 cost, developed last fall, has been updated and noted that staff is proposing to move
46 forward.
47
48 Anderson asked for a rough estimate on what the wetland mitigation costs may be.
49
50 Kellogg stated that the wetland impact at this time appears to be about .05 acres, with a
51 mitigation rate of two to one, would be a total mitigation of one acre. He noted that the
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 2
March 15, 2016
1 City would most likely purchase credits from the wetland bank, which has a cost of $2 to
2 $3 per square foot, and with the additional administrative costs from the Board of Soil
3 and Water Resources (BWSR), and would then be a cost of $10,000 to $15,000.
4
5 Pederson stated that typically the City would wait for land to develop and the developer
6 would fund the improvement. He recognized that there are park funds but was unsure
7 why the City would be funding the improvement. He noted that this would simply provide
8 the connection to Meander, which does not have a trail.
9
10 Scherer stated that the stretch of roadway is heavily traveled by pedestrians from
11 Bridgewater and OSI. He noted that Meander does have a designated wide shoulder
12 and therefore this would provide a necessary connection.
13
14 Finke explained that this project will also help to provide information for the Capital
15 Improvement Plan process as this will provide an actual trail cost for a trail plan that may
16 be overly ambitious.
17
18 1. Resolution No. 2016-23 Approving the Plans and Specifications
19 and Ordering the Advertisement for Bids
20 Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to adopt resolution no. 2016-23 approving
21 plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids. Motion passed
22 unanimously.
23
24 B. Uptown Hamel Building Materials (7:17 p.m.)
25 Johnson stated that this item is in regard to the use of fiber cement lap siding in Uptown
26 Hamel. He noted that based upon the comments of the Planning Commission and City
27 Council during a recent application review staff has been proactive in bringing forward
28 this amendment.
29
30 Finke stated that this arose during the review of the application for Hamel Brewing. He
31 noted that generally the material is not allowed for commercial development but the
32 Uptown Hamel district is unique and therefore a material similar to wood would be
33 allowed. He noted that fiber cement lap siding was recently approved as an allowable
34 material in the rural business/rural commercial holding district. He noted that the
35 material is becoming more used in commercial settings and noted that the Planning
36 Commission recommended approval as presented.
37
38 Martin noted that perhaps in the future additional materials will emerge and asked if
39 additional language should be added that specifies "with a wood appearance".
40
41 Finke noted that the language can be made more specific.
42
43 1. Ordinance No. 596 Regarding Exterior Building Materials in the
44 Uptown Hamel Zoning Districts; Amending Chapter 8 of the City
45 Code
46 Moved by Anderson, seconded by Martin, to adopt ordinance no. 596 regarding exterior
47 building materials in the Uptown Hamel zoning districts, with the addition of "with a wood
48 appearance". Motion passed unanimously.
49
50 2. Resolution No. 2016-24 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance No.
51 596 by Title and Summary

4 VIII. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT (7:22 p.m.)

6 noted he will forward the information to the City Council. He also provided an update on
7 the progress of renovating the lower level of City Hall.

9 IX. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (7:22 p.m.)
10 Pederson stated that he attended the mayors' meeting at which the Hennepin County
11 Tax Assessor spoke, noting that he will provide the chart that he received for distribution
12 to the Council. He thanked Mitchell for allowing him to attend.
13
14 Mitchell appreciated all the Council members that have attended in his place. He
15 referenced a recent newspaper article in the Star Tribune regarding lost water and
16 commended staff for the use of storm water ponds for irrigation in new housing
17 subdivisions. He stated that he recently heard something on the news in which a list has
18 been created of police officers to be hurt by ISIL.
19

21 Medina Police Officers.
