Additions to Agenda If any Park Commissioner wishes to add an item to the agenda after the agenda has already been posted, the agenda item must be proposed at this point in the meeting. The Park Commission must agree to add the item by motion. 5. City Council Update This is a reoccurring agenda item to have the City Council Liaison to the Park Commission, Lorie Cousineau, give an update at each meeting on what is happening at the Council level. 6. Dellcroft — PUD Concept Plan — West of Arrowhead Drive, North and South of Hamel Road — Park Dedication Review City Planner Dusty Finke prepared the attached report outlining the applicant's request for a review of a Concept Plan for a 161-lot residential development west of Arrowhead Drive, north and south of Hamel Road. The applicant proposes a 22 lot Conservation Design -Planned Unit Development (CD-PUD) on the 90 acres south of Hamel Road. The applicant proposes 109 single family lots and 30 townhomes on the 65 acres north of Hamel Road to be developed though a standard PUD process, not under the CD-PUD process. See attached staff report. Recommended Action: Provide feedback to developer on parks and trails. 7. 2020-2040 Comprehensive Plan Review for Parks & Trails City Planner Dusty Finke has prepared the attached report and draft map outlining the work of the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee. Because the Land Use Map is likely to be adjusted over the next few months, staff believes it may be premature to begin discussing plans for parks and trails in specific areas of the City. However, staff believes it is important to begin discussing the bigger picture and to start establishing objectives and policies which will guide the Plan. See attached report. Recommended Action: Begin discussion on establishing park and trail objectives and policies to guide the 2020-2040 Comprehensive Plan process. 1 8. The Park at Fields of Medina Lighting Request Residents in the Park at Fields of Medina have requested that lights be added to the park and parking lot. Public Works Director Steve Scherer has done some initial cost estimates, which are outlined on the attached memo. See attached memo. Recommended Motion: Make recommendation on lighting at the Park at Fields of Medina. 9. Scoreboard Graphics at Paul Fortin Memorial Field The Hamel Lions Club has raised enough funds from various sponsors to purchase the scoreboard. The resolution accepting the donations and authorizing the purchase is on the April 19th City Council agenda for approval. The City Council packet for this item is attached for the Park Commission's reference. The last step is for the Park Commission to endorse the sign advertisement graphics for the scoreboard and round signs and banner for the smaller donors. See attached graphics and packet items. Recommended Motion: Make recommendation on scoreboard graphics. 10. Monarch Butterfly Garden Location Staff has received a quote from Designing Nature to install a butterfly garden in front of the Hamel Community Building or to install a stand-alone garden in a full sun location. The quote is on the City Council agenda for approval on April 19th with the direction to have the Park Commission determine the exact location and plant varieties. See attached packet items. Recommended Motion: Make recommendation on location of butterfly garden and plant varieties. 11. Schedule Spring Park Tour In the past few years, we have scheduled this tour on our regular May meeting date with a 5 p.m. start time. Please look at your schedules and determine if Wednesday, May 18th at 5 p.m. works to schedule our Spring Park Tour. Also, be thinking about which parks you would like to visit. Please be thinking about your specific assigned parks and what projects we would like to accomplish this year. We have received a request from the Fields of Medina residents to install a volleyball court on the west side of the park near the proposed future water tower site. The Park Commission may want to plan to visit this park to determine if this would be a good location. No attachments for this item. Recommended Action: Schedule Spring Park Tour and discuss which parks to visit. 12. Staff Report a. Dugout Covers at Hamel Legion Park — The Park Commission has budgeted $25,000 out of Park Dedication to install dugout covers on the quad fields in Hamel Legion Park. Steve Scherer has been working with a contractor to put together quotes. Staff will try to have the quotes ready prior to the April 20th meeting. 2 b. Spring Clean-up Day Involvement. Spring Clean-up Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th from 8 a.m. until noon. This item is to discuss if the Park Commission has an interest in being involved at the event. c. Arrowhead Drive Trail Update. The bid opening for the Arrowhead Drive Trail project is on April 21, 2016 at 11 a.m. The city hopes to award a contract at the May 3, 2016 City Council meeting. d. General Items. This agenda item is to give a verbal update on any other general park items. Staff representation at the April 20th Park Commission meeting will be City Planner Dusty Finke, Assistant City Administrator Jodi Gallup, and Public Works Director Steve Scherer. 3 Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes - DRAFT February 17, 2016 Medina City Hall Page 1 of 3 The Park Commission of Medina, Minnesota met in regular session on February 17, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. at Medina City Hall. Park Commission Chair Steve Lee presided. 1) Call to Order Commissioners Present: Commissioners Absent: Also Present: Steve Lee, John Jacob, Dino DesLauriers, and Michelle Beddor Lori Meehan, Nate Pearson, and One Vacant Seat Assistant City Administrator Jodi Gallup, Public Works Director Steve Scherer and City Council member Lorie Cousineau. 2) Additions to the Agenda Steve Lee stated that he would give an update on the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee under "General Items". He also requested that a Comprehensive Plan update be added to future agendas. The Park Commission welcomed Michelle Beddor to the Commission and introductions were made. 3) Approval of the Minutes from January 20, 2016 Regular Meeting A motion was made by Jacob and seconded by DesLauriers to approve the minutes from January 20, 2016 as presented. Motion passed unanimously. 4) Public Comments (on items not on the agenda): None. 5) City Council Update Lorie Cousineau gave the Park Commission an update on recent City Council actions. 6) Scoreboard Funding Request Ted Fust with the Hamel Hawks and Hamel Lions Club recapped that he has been before the Park Commission for approval of the Scoreboard design late last fall with a proposed donation from the Hamel Lions Club. He stated that the total cost of the scoreboard is too much of a burden for the Hamel Lions Club to contribute on their own so he is back before the Park Commission with an amended request. Fust stated that he had met with City staff and Hamel Lions members to discuss the scoreboard funding. He stated that the Public Works Department offered to help with the site preparation and installation, which will bring the total cost down by $1,500. He noted that the total cost after the donated items would be approximately $12,000. He asked the Park Commission to contribute 25% of the project cost, which would be approximately $3,000. He stated that he is also soliciting other donations to try to cover the remaining Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes - DRAFT February 17, 2016 Medina City Hall Page 2 of 3 costs. He stated that his second request of the Park Commission would be to allow up to three donors on the bottom of the scoreboard sign. Lee questioned if the color scheme of the scoreboard and the donors would remain the same if there were multiple donors. Fust confirmed the colors would remain the same and that they wanted a uniform look with the other fields. DesLauriers asked if they considered buying the same scoreboards that were currently on the four-plex. He noted that the price was significantly less and it would bring a uniform look to all the fields. Fust stated that the Paul Fortin Memorial Field would be used by high school and adult leagues and it was important for them to have a more sophisticated scoreboard. Jacob confirmed that a new scoreboard would give the appearance of an updated field. A motion was made by DesLauriers and seconded by Jacob to recommend sharing up to $3, 000 of the cost of a new scoreboard and to allow addition sponsors as long as the final design was reviewed by the Park Commission. Motion passed unanimously. 7) 2016 Park and Trail Goals Lee stated that the goals document had been updated based on discussion at the January 20, 2016 meeting. He asked that each Commissioner review the 2016 goals for their parks and set a timeline for when the item should be completed. He asked that everyone report back to Gallup with their timelines. Lee assigned Medina Lake Preserve and Tomann Preserve to Beddor. 8) Park Commission Ordinance Gallup stated that staff had received a call from a new resident that was interested in joining the Park Commission, but this resident did not meet the one year residency requirement that is written in the Park Commission Ordinance She stated that staff was seeking the Park Commission's feedback and recommendation to determine if the ordinance should be amended to remove the residency requirement or if there is value in keeping it. Jacob noted that there is value in knowing your community before joining this commission. Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes - DRAFT February 17, 2016 Medina City Hall Page 3 of 3 There was a general consensus of the Park Commission to keep the ordinance as written with the one year residency requirement. The Park Commission also discussed the term limit set in the Park Commission ordinance, which states a Commissioner cannot serve more than three consecutive three year terms. They felt that if a Park Commissioner met the term limit and there were still vacancies on the Park Commission, the Park Commissioner should not have to leave the Commission. 9) Staff Report • Park Commission Vacancies — It was noted that there is still one vacant seat on the Park Commission. • Park Dedication Fund Balance — Gallup reported that an updated Park Dedication Fund balance had been included in the packet and asked if anyone had any questions. Two transactions were questioned and Gallup stated she would look into it. • General Items o Arrowhead Drive Trail Update —Scherer gave a brief update on the Arrowhead Drive Trail. He stated that staff had been working with the engineers on a preliminary estimate and noted that some wetland mitigation may be needed. o Comprehensive Plan Update — Lee provided the Park Commission with a draft map of the proposed MUSA lines by the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee. He noted where the high density, mixed residential, and low density units were being proposed. o Stonegate Trail Plan — Lee stated that Roland Aberg called him to inquire about changing the trail plan. He stated that Aberg recommended that Stonegate pave the trail from Medina Morningside to Homestead Trail, but in exchange they did not want to put the base under the turf trails in fear that the grass would not grow. 10) Adjourn A motion was made by DesLauriers, seconded by Jacob and passed unanimously, to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:44 p.m. Minutes prepared by Jodi Gallup. MEMORANDUM TO: Park Commission FROM: Dusty Finke, City Planner DATE: April 14, 2016 MEETING: April 20, 2016 Park Commission SUBJ: BFP Development LLC — "Dellcroft" — PUD Concept Plan Review — West of Arrowhead Drive, North and South of Hamel Road — Review Deadline Complete Application Received: March 16, 2016 60-day Review Deadline: May 15, 2016 Summary of Request BFP Development, LLC has requested review of a Concept Plan for a 161-lot residential development west of Arrowhead Drive, north and south of Hamel Road. The applicant proposes a 22 lot Conservation Design -Planned Unit Development (CD-PUD) on the 90 acres south of Hamel Road. The applicant proposes 109 single family lots and 30 townhomes on the 65 acres north of Hamel Road to be developed though a standard PUD process, not under the CD-PUD process. The subject site, both north and south of Hamel Road, is guided and zoned Rural Residential which would generally require a minimum of 5 acres of contiguous suitable soils per lot. The Concept Plan would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the guided land use of the property north of Hamel Road to Low Density Residential. The northern portion of the development is proposed to be supported by City sewer and water through such an amendment. The southern portion of the Concept proposes private septic and wells through the CD-PUD process. The applicant requests a density bonus as described in the CD-PUD zoning district in consideration for permanent conservation of approximately 51 gross acres (27.3 buildable acres). The applicant proposes additional conservation within the development north of Hamel Road, but does not propose to include the northern land in the CD-PUD. The Hennepin County Public Works facility is located north of the subject property. The land east of Arrowhead Drive, north of Hamel Road is planned for future Business development in the Comprehensive Plan. Property to the west, south, and east include existing Rural Residential land uses which are planned to remain rural. The existing use on the subject property is predominantly tilled agricultural land. There are wetlands scattered throughout the property. The property south of Hamel Road includes a wooded area in the northwest and along a wooded ravine north -to -south through the center of the property. An aerial of the site and surrounding property can be found at the top of the following page. Dellcroft Page 1 of 6 April 20, 2016 Concept Plan Review Park Commission Meeting Comprehensive Plan Both parcels are guided Rural Residential (RR). As noted, the applicant seeks to amend the guiding on the northern parcel to Low Density Residential (LDR). The Comprehensive Plan defines RR and LDR as follows: Rural Residential (RR) identifies areas for low -intensity uses, such as rural residential, rural commercial, farming, hobby farms, horticulture, conservation of ecologically significant natural resources and passive recreation. This area is not planned to be served by urban services during the timeframe covered by this Plan and requires each lot to have five contiguous acres of soils suitable for septic systems. Low Density Residential (LDR) identifies residential land uses developed between 2.0 units per acre and 3.49 units per acre which are served or are intended to be served by urban services. The primary use in this area is single-family residential development. The areas designated for low density residential uses are located near existing low density residential uses, natural resources and provide a transition between higher density residential districts and the permanent rural areas of the community. Dellcroft Page 2 of 6 April 20, 2016 Concept Plan Review Park Commission Meeting The City is currently in the midst of its decennial Comprehensive Plan update. The Steering Committee has put together drafts of a Vision, Community Goals, and a Land Use Concept. The subject property is not proposed for urban services. Proposed Site Layout As noted above, the applicant proposes different types of development north and south of Hamel Road. Although the Concept Plan is a single application, staff believes it is easier to describe the two portions separately. North of Hamel Road, the applicant proposes a mix of single-family lot sizes, with most of the lots being 75 feet wide and approximately'/4 acre. Larger''/z acre lots are proposed in the northwest portion of the site. Thirty townhome units are proposed in the northeast portion of the site. An open space corridor is proposed north -to -south through the center of the site which would connect to the wooded ravine south of Hamel Road. The gross area north of Hamel Road is 66 acres with approximately 9 acres of wetland and wetland buffers, resulting in net area of approximately 57 acres. The applicant proposes approximately 12 buildable acres of open space within the central corridor. Much of this area would be restored to native grassland, although a portion is proposed to be an active park area. South of Hamel Road, the applicant proposes a CD-PUD development of 22 lots with approximately 57 acres of conservation area (27 buildable acres). The CD-PUD district is an option a developer is encouraged to consider as an alternative to conventional development in order to preserve the City's ecological resources, wildlife corridors, scenic views, and rural character. The CD-PUD allows flexibility to various zoning standards, the most significant being a maximum density up to 200% of the base density for conventional rural development. According to Section 827.53: "Conservation design is an option that a property owner is encouraged to consider as an alternative to Conventional Development... The City will give heightened consideration to such requests where the opportunities to achieve conservation objectives are significantly higher than that available through conventional development." The City maintains the ultimate discretion to determine whether a proposal sufficiently meets the objectives of the CD-PUD district in order to justify the amount of flexibility sought by the applicant. These objectives are: 1. Protect the ecological function of native hardwood forests, lakes, streams, and wetlands. 2. Protect moderate to high quality ecologically significant natural areas. 3. Protect opportunities to make ecological connections between parks and other protected lands and ecologically significant natural areas. 4. Protect important viewsheds including scenic road segments. 5. Create public and private trails for citizens to access and enjoy Open Space resources. 6. Create public and private Open Space for citizens to access and enjoy Open Space resources. Dellcroft Page 3 of 6 April 20, 2016 Concept Plan Review Park Commission Meeting In creating a CD-PUD proposal, an applicant is required to go through a site design process which sets a priority on first identifying the areas which are to be preserved. Only after the conservation priorities are set should house sites, streets, and trails be planned. Staff went through a similar exercise, a summary of which is attached. The applicant claims that there are 56 contiguous acres of suitable soil on the parcel. This information will need to be verified following wetland delineation and survey review. If correct, it would result in a Base Density of 11 lots with 5-acre contiguous suitable soils. The applicant requests 22 lots, which is 200% of the base density and the maximum density allowed by the CD-PUD district. Tree Preservation and Buffer Yards As noted above, there are existing wooded areas in the northwest corner of the southern parcel and along a ravine bisecting the southern property. Staff recommends that these areas be incorporated into Conservation Areas and to limit impact and removal of trees to the extent possible. The proposed development south of Hamel Road is divided into two areas by the wooded ravine. The Developer proposes to connect these areas with a street and trail connection. While connecting the two areas may be a goal, it may be preferable to maintain an undisturbed greenway along the ravine and to remove the street connection. Staff would recommend that the Developer examine opportunities to increase the buffer along the western edge of the northern development to the extent practical. Perhaps the greenway could be extended straight north from the wooded ravine for some distance rather than through the center of the development. Wetlands and Floodplain There are wetlands located in various locations on the site. It appears that the Developer has proposed to avoid wetland impacts. Upland buffers will be required adjacent to the wetlands on the property. There is a very large wetland south of the subject site which extends into the southwest corner of the site. This wetland is classified as a good quality black ash swamp. The Developer proposes a large buffer from this area. FEMA floodplain maps show a floodplain over the large wetland in the southwest corner of the southern parcel. This floodplain does not have a defined elevation and likely does not extend onto the site as far as displayed on the state level FEMA maps. Staff does not believe there will be any floodplain impacts, but the applicant will need to provide data to confirm. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces The City's subdivision regulations requires up to 10% of the buildable property to be dedicated for park purposes. The City may also choose to accept cash in -lieu of all or a portion of this land dedication in an amount equal to 8% of the pre -developed market value, up to a maximum of Dellcroft Page 4 of 6 April 20, 2016 Concept Plan Review Park Commission Meeting $8,000 per home, or $1,288,000. Staff does not believe the fee would reach the maximum in this case, but it will be determined more precisely during the preliminary plat review. The applicant proposes a substantial trail network throughout the development, including 2.8 miles of trails throughout the development and 0.62 miles of trail along Arrowhead and Hamel Road. The applicant also proposes sidewalks in the development north of Hamel Road to connect to the trails. The applicant proposes an active park near the center of the development north of Hamel Road. Staff believes such an amenity would be important because the subject site is not located within 1/2 mile of a park. The Comprehensive Parks and Trails Plan as well as the Parks and Trails Master Plan are attached for reference. It should be noted that these plans were drafted assuming rural development on the subject property. The requested change in land uses may justify additional facilities. The Parks and Trails Plans identify a potential Active Park Study Area on the subject property, although need for a park in this located was not included in the Master Plan. As noted above, the change in land use may affect such need. If residential development were to occur in this area, staff would recommend an active park. The Park Commission can discuss if a public park is necessary or if the park should be maintained by the association. The Plans identify paved trail corridors north -south along Arrowhead Drive and east -west along Hamel Road. The Plans also identify a turf trail east -west along the south of the property. Staff believes there may be more trails proposed than City resources would support maintenance. Many of the shorter trail connections would predominantly serve residents in different locations within the development. Staff suggests that these connections may be better maintained as private trails which would provide access to a more limited primary public trail system. The Park Commission may wish to discuss whether it makes sense for the trails through the open space areas to serve as alternatives to the trails shown along Arrowhead Drive and Hamel Road in the Master Plan. Such an arrangement could serve broader connection purposes and be a more interesting experience for users. Purpose of Concept Plan Review/Review Criteria According to Section 827.33 of the City Code: "As the first step in the review procedure for a PUD, an applicant shall complete and submit... [a] Concept Plan..." "Comments and actions by the City during review of the Concept Plan are purely advisory and in no way shall bind the City to subsequent approval...nor imply any future approval." The City has a great deal of discretion in the Planned Unit Development and the Conservation Design Planned Unit Development. The City also has a great deal of discretion in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment which the applicant would need to request in order to develop the property with municipal sewer and water as requested. The Concept Plan process allows the developer to receive feedback in order to determine whether they will invest in the formal development proposal.

We have collectively developed over 15,000 residential lots in the Twin Cities. Several of our communities have received environmental recognition, in particular for providing wildlife habitat and for their treatment of storm water. We have previously developed in Medina, both Foxberry Farms and Wild Meadows. Our objective is to bring these attributes to this site, to create a diverse community that integrates and serves a wide income range of households and at the same time includes a meaningful system of open space, wildlife corridors and trails. Prologue We believe strongly that the timing and location for this development works well with the City's plans. We also understand that the purpose of a concept submittal is to receive feedback. The principles and goals of our development efforts can be accomplished in many ways. The unit mix can be altered. The location of certain units can be moved. We want to hear your ideas and make this a collaborative effort. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss our ideas for the Dellcroft property. Goal of the Development • Create a successful well designed community. This comes from... o A meaningful trail system that links the neighborhood together through open spaces as well as connects the neighborhood to existing and future trails that extend beyond its boundaries. (See Site Plan — Exhibit E) o A connected greenway that uses the open space connections to link the neighborhoods together within Dellcroft and beyond its borders. Not only for human use but also for wildlife. (See Open Space Plan/Greenway Corridor — Exhibit F) o Restoration of open spaces to create a native habitat that provides opportunities for wildlife, a scenic backdrop to homes and helps to protect the waterways by more effectively treating storm water. (See Restoration Plan — Exhibit G) o A variety of housing sizes and types for a variety of income levels. This neighborhood includes five lot types/sizes ranging from large lot rural homesites to townhomes. o Creative site design which is described further below. o Access to a central park for all residents. The exact design and use is yet to be determined, but we anticipate it could incorporate a grassy open space for casual play, sand box, play structure and could possibly include a bath house and pool. March 11, 2016 3 Dellcroft PUD Concept How Dellcroft fulfills the PUD purpose - 827.25 Subd. 1. Innovations in development to the end that the growing demands for all styles of economic expansion may be met by greater variety in type, design, and placement of structures and by the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. • This is the basis of the entire concept submittal. Dellcroft includes and balances multiple product types while creating a meaningful trail and open space experience and also protecting, enhancing and restoring the natural environment of which it's a part. Subd. 2. Higher standards of site and building design. • This is accomplished through creative site design which includes: o Use of varied setbacks and angles to the road which create visual interest, improved aesthetics and improved views of nature. o Curvilinear roadways which increase the interest and beauty of the streetscape, help to calm traffic and make the neighborhood safer and more pedestrian friendly. o Limited use of cul-de-sacs to provide access while at the same time accommodating a more uninterrupted open space experience. o Placement of homes to allow residents to experience open space from their homes as well as when they enter the neighborhood. o Natural treatments for screening views of homes from roadways through the use of planted earth forms including planting well beyond the buffer planting criteria require by the City, integrated with storm water runoff ponding for storm water management and improving the beauty of the transportation corridor. o Views and vistas into protected open spaces. Amenity features visible from entry settings. Plantings used in ways to create and frame vistas. o Strong main entry settings that provide views into the open spaces. Subd. 3. The preservation, enhancement, or restoration of desirable site characteristics such as high quality natural resources, wooded areas, wetlands, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. • Our project includes all three. (As background It may be helpful to review the current conditions exhibits H and I) o Preservation ■ Wetlands - Our intent is to preserve all of the wetland areas shown on the concept plan. A wetland delineation has not yet been completed so it remains to be seen if all impacts can be avoided. City wetland maps indicate a couple smaller wetland areas within the farmed areas of the property. At this time we believe these are not wetlands and have not included them in our concept. Today there are little to no meaningful buffers around any of the wetlands on the property. These will be provided to ensure the wetlands are preserved. ■ Woodlands — Most of the woodlands have been classified by the County in the MLCCS as low quality, non-native and disturbed. However, it is our intent to March 11, 2016 4 Dellcroft PUD Concept keep impacts to the amount allowed by City code and preserve the remaining significant portion of the existing woodland areas. ■ Open Spaces — Most of the open space that is not wooded or a wetland is currently farmed therefore there are no areas that need to be preserved in their current condition. ■ Topography — Overall the site design follows and uses the natural topography of the property. While grading will be needed, the development team intends to take advantage of the properties ridgelines and vistas. o Enhancement & Restoration ■ Restoration Plan - A formal restoration plan will be developed and implemented in the open spaces. A general restoration concept is included as Exhibit G and is described below. ■ Wetland and Wetland Buffers — Several wetland areas exist on the property. With this development we expect to not only preserve but restore them to the extent possible. Since they are currently dominated by narrow leaf cattail as well as reed canary grass and surrounded by areas with similar non-native vegetation, a full restoration to 100% native species will be unlikely. Nonetheless the quality of the wetlands and adjacent buffers can be improved and enhanced. The wetlands area would likely include a mix of shallow open water with margins interspersed with native plants. Plants anticipated for this area include blue flag iris, manna grass, several species of sedges and rushes, great blue lobelia, spotted joe-pye weed and similar. Native species will be introduced and managed and will help protect the existing wetlands as well as provide for a more diverse habitat. Wetland margins are proposed to include a mix of native grasses, sedges, rushes and flowers characteristic for the Medina area. To the south of the Dellcoft property there is a wetland that has been identified as ecologically significant in the MLCCS. A portion of this complex is located on the Dellcroft property. With this development plan this area will continue to be buffered by the existing woodlands but would also include a restored upland buffer and with that buffer and the additional storm water treatment, the water entering this wetland complex from the site will be significantly improved. ■ Woodlands — As mentioned above, the woodland areas on the property are dominated by non-native species. This fact in and of itself does not mean they are necessarily bad. Trees provide a valuable function for treating storm water and providing habitat, even if non-native. The intent of the restoration would be to remove some of the dead and diseased trees to encourage growth and sustainability of the healthy trees as well as to selectively open the ground layer to sunlight which will help to establish a more native groundcover. It is also our intent to plant new native varieties of trees within and adjacent to the forested areas to gradually reestablish native varieties. March 11, 2016 5 Dellcroft PUD Concept As mentioned above the woodlands along the south portion of the property help to buffer the large ecologically significant wetland complex to the south. ■ Open Spaces — Consistent with Medina's natural heritage, the concept for open space restoration at Dellcroft is to restore a native savanna in most open space areas. This will create a scenic landscape that provides quality wildlife habitat, benefits water quality, and is reasonable to maintain. Vegetation in this zone would include scattered bur oak, swamp white oak and similar savanna trees. The goal for ground cover would be to create a diverse assemblage of native plants that provide season -long interest and value to wildlife. This anticipates a mix of native grasses like Indian grass, bottlebrush grass, satin grass and sideoats grama as well as flowers such as brown -eyed susan, early meadow rue, golden alexanders, bergamot, and more. Much of the upland areas at Wild Meadows could be seen as an example of this type of open space conversion. Most of the open space at Wild Meadows was once farmed or part of the Turkey farming operation and today they are a savanna dominated by a diverse variety of native species and interspersed with trees. Subd. 4. Innovative approaches to stormwater management and low -impact development practices which result in volume control and improvement to water quality beyond the standard requirements of the City. • We will use a variety of methods to treat stormwater and have had much experience creating and implementing a variety of innovative storm water treatment methods that can meet or exceed the City standards. (See Exhibit J the schematic storm water plan) Subd. 5. Maintenance of open space in portions of the development site, preferably linked to surrounding open space areas, and also enhanced buffering from adjacent roadways and lower intensity uses. • A homeowner's association will be tasked with maintaining the open space. An installation and maintenance plan will be created along with a conservation easement over a majority of the open space. • A greenway has been designed though the site, connecting both the north and south parcel as well as linking to open space connections beyond the property boundaries (see Exhibit F). • A minimum 50' buffer with significant landscape will be provided along Hamel Road and Arrowhead Drive. Subd. 6. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly development and use pattern and more convenience in location and design of development and service facilities. • North Parcel o This development provides a transition from the proposed and existing commercial uses on the east side of the site to the Rural Residential Areas to the west. Often low density residential uses such as we are proposing are used to buffer commercial from rural areas of the City. This reduction in intensity also continues with the Dellcroft site as the density reduced from the low density residential on the north parcel to the clustered rural residential densities on the south parcel.

A more desirable and creative environment than might be possible through the strict application on zoning and subdivision regulations of the City. • Many of the amenities and benefits described in this narrative would not be possible if the code were strictly applied. Proposed Market and Demand Medina is a beautiful well located City and is generally in demand from a variety of homebuyers. In addition, the areas within the Wayzata School District are desired by many families who look to have their children educated in that district. While some of the homesites within the Dellcroft neighborhood fit the type of homesites currently found elsewhere in the district and City, others do not and provide a unique opportunity. We expect that the single family homes will start in the low $400's on the north parcel and exceed $1,000,000 on the south parcel. This mix of home sites is further diversified by 30 townhomes sites that we expect will start around $275,000. There is a limited supply of new townhomes starting at this price within the City and within the Wayzata school district. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan In order for the development of the north parcel to occur as proposed, a Comprehensive Plan update or amendment would needed. Development of the south parcel would not need a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The south parcel is shown using CD-PUD zoning within the context of its current RR zoning. The development proposal for the south parcel is consistent with the both the zoning and Comprehensive Plan guiding. We understand that modifying the MUSA area may be the most significant question that this development proposal poses for the City. The main supporting themes from the narrative are summarized below. • High Quality Development . • Diversity of Housing Options. • Greenway, Meaningful Trails, Significant Open Space. • Access to existing transportation corridors, and well as sewer and water facilities. • Provides a transition from Commercial to Rural. • Significant screening and buffering along County roadway. • Supports Uptown Hamel.

March 11, 2016 9 Dellcroft PUD Concept South Parcel - Additional Details South Parcel Soil Calculation (see Exhibit K - Current Conditions) After analyzing the soils our surveyors believe that topography and soils for the south parcel are likely slightly skewed on the Hennepin County maps and that all of the good soils found on the south parcel are contiguous. There is a narrow pinch point along Hamel Road where there is a contiguous connection from the east to the west on the site. Additionally, there are some areas where the slopes and floodplain areas have been better defined providing a small net increase in the amount of good soils on the southern parcel. In the future A FEMA map amendment will be needed to formalize the floodplain alteration. With these modifications the total contiguous good soils is 56.04 acres or at 5 acres per homesite this provides a base density of 11 units. The CD-PUD allows for up to a 200% increase of the base density for proposals that meet the purpose of the CD-PUD. We hope that you agree that we have provided the necessary evidence, at least preliminarily, to qualify for a doubling of the units with a cluster approach or 22 units as shown on the concept plan. Purpose of the CD-PUD 827.51 1. Protect the ecological function of native hardwood forests, lakes, streams, and wetlands. As mentioned above what we are proposing is more than protection, we plan to actively restore the open space areas. 2. Protect moderate to high quality ecologically significant natural areas. Also mentioned above the South Parcel is adjacent to and includes a small portion of a large wetland complex that is considered ecologically significant by the MLCCS. This neighborhood includes a greenway connection to that wetland complex. 3. Protect opportunities to make ecological connections between parks and other protected lands and ecologically significant natural areas. Similar to above and as shown on Exhibit F connections are not only being preserved but are being created. 4. Protect important viewsheds including scenic road segments. As much as possible viewsheds have been used as a part of creating the neighborhood and trails systems. 5. Create public and private trails for citizens to access and enjoy Open Space resources. The trail as shown in the City Parks & Trails Plan on the Dellcroft property (Exhibit L Park and Trail Plan) has been included. In additional to the trail over 4.5 miles of trails and sidewalks connect the neighborhood. Exactly which trails are public and which may be private is a conversation we would like to have with the City in the future. In any case the east -west trail as shown in the City's Parks and Trails plan would be public. 6. Create public and private Open Space for citizens to access and enjoy Open Space resources. Over 45% of the total development and over 50% of the southern parcel are included in the open space and are linked together with 2.8 miles of trails. March 11, 2016 10 Dellcroft PUD Concept Additional Requested Information for PUD Concept Restrictive Covenants Like most of our communities, we would include restrictive covenants to create common rules for a number of activities. This would include such items as the architecture of the homes, landscaping, yards, fences, use of the common property, storage, on -site parking, use of common elements and a number of items the one would typically find in an association. Generally these are common sense items that the homeowners themselves can chose to change or modify if needed as a community. Generally these rules are more restrictive than the City code unless agreed to by the City within the PUD agreement. Staging This site is likely to be built out in stages. At this time, it is difficult to know the exact staging. Since the north and south parcels have such different product types and price points it is possible that they would or could be developed simultaneously. If the north parcel were to be staged it would likely be from the east to the west and north to south. The entrance to the neighborhood from Arrowhead may initially be the primary entrance. A better idea of phasing will be explored with subsequent submittals. Overall, we would expect a site like this to be fully developed over a 3-5 year timeframe. Comprehensive Plan — Steering Committee We recognize and understand that the City has had a steering committee work on a revised Comprehensive Plan and that they recently prepared a draft land use plan. As an example Exhibit N shows what the guide plan would look like if the north Dellcroft Parcel were added to the MUSA and shown in on the guide plan. We believe that this shows how the Dellcroft site would likely meet the community goals and that in particular it balances the geographical disbursement of the development areas.

The Plan guides future growth in the community and also guides economic development and investments in City services such as natural resources/parks/recreation, transportation, and water resources. This process began in the fall of 2015. The City has held two community events and the Steering Committee has held a series of meeting. The Planning Commission and City Council have also provided feedback on the DRAFT Vision and Community Goals at a series of meetings. All communities in the 7-county Metro Area are required to update our Comprehensive Plans every decade. The City is required to submit by the end of 2018. The Comp Plan is the foundation for analyzing ordinances, policies, and practices related to land use. The City's Comprehensive Plan is required to be in conformance with the regional system plans produced by the Metropolitan Council, as well as the requirements of other state agencies. It is important to remember this fact as the City discusses the aspects of the Plan. While these system plans include various requirements, the most relevant requirements related to land use in Medina include: • The City is required to plan for development of a minimum of 951 additional households by 2040, beyond the existing lots in the City • A minimum of 253 of these households are required to be higher density units (> 8 units/acre). This requirement is intended to support development of residential units at lower purchase/rental costs. • The average density of new residential development served by the municipal sanitary sewer system is required to be above 3 units/acre. This can be averaged across the City, allowing some areas to be developed at lower densities, so long as other areas are higher density to bring up the average. The projected growth in the City has been reduced substantially (over 40%) from the amount currently planned by the City. This will affect the number of residents which the parks system will need to serve, but also affect the amount of revenue which would be expected to be brought into the Park Dedication fund. Comprehensive Plan Page 1 of 3 April 20, 2016 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Park Commission Meeting For the sake of Parks and Trails, the City's plan is required to be consistent with regional parks and trail system plans as well. These system requirements are attached for reference. Vision and Community Goals The Steering Committee has put together a DRAFT Vision Statement and Community Goals following many discussions, open houses, and public feedback. These documents provide guidance as the City discusses the various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan, from land use to Parks/Trails/Open Space. The DRAFT is attached for reference and Park Commissioners should provide feedback if you desire. There has been a lot of discussion about the verbiage of the Vision and Goals. While this is important, the language could be written in many ways based on style. At this time, the most important consideration is whether there are any goals which Park Commissioners believe should be removed or whether there are goals which Park Commissioners believe should be added. From these "Community Goals," there will be objectives, policies, and strategies created for more specific areas of the Plan, including Parks/Trails/Open Spaces. The Park Commission will begin formulating these at the April meeting. Land Use Concept The Steering Committee has also had a number of discussions about potential land use/development patterns which could accommodate the requirements of the Metropolitan Council but also address the City's Vision and Community Goals. The Steering Committee created a "Land Use Concept" which has been distributed for comment. This map identifies properties which could be allowed to be developed. The concept identifies substantially less development than was planned for in the 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan. This is in response to the Metropolitan Council's reduced forecasts for growth in the City as well as the Steering Committee's goal of expanding development only to the extent necessary to meet these forecasts. The Land Use Concept is presented on the attached two maps. • The first map highlights only the properties which are planned for a change in land use from their existing condition. This mainly includes agricultural or vacant properties, but also some rural residential properties which would be planned to be redeveloped at suburban/urban densities. By highlighting just the properties which would be eligible for development, staff intends to call attention to the areas where development could occur. • The second map shows planned land uses throughout the City. Ultimately, the locations which the City decides to develop should have an impact on the parks and trails planned, as should the density at which the City plans to develop. This Land Use Concept identifies one way in which the City could develop, and has been created to receive public feedback and also to conduct a preliminary infrastructure analysis. It is Comprehensive Plan Page 2 of 3 April 20, 2016 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Park Commission Meeting expected that the Concept will be adjusted as the process continues. To that end, Park Commissioners are encouraged to provide comments on the Land Use Concept. Parks, Trails, and Open Space Objectives/Policies Discussion Because the Land Use Map is likely to be adjusted over the next few months, staff believes it may be premature to begin discussing plans for parks and trails in specific areas of the City. However, staff believes it is important to begin discussing the bigger picture and to start establishing objectives and policies which will guide the Plan. The current Parks, Trails, and Open Space plan is attached for reference. Parks, trails, and open space goals are provided in Chapter 2 of the plan and are also attached. Staff would like to begin the discussion with the Park Commission with a brief "SWOT" analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to get discussions started. This discussion should help inform the discussion about Objectives. Park Commissioners should think about some possible objectives to discuss. In order to provide a starting point for discussion, staff put together the following list, largely based on the goals of the existing plan: 1) Improve and expand existing facilities, improve accessibility, correct problems or conflicts if they occur, and provide expanded recreational opportunities where appropriate and as fiscally sustained. 2) Provide parks within approximately'/2 mile of new residential development to provide residents convenient access to recreational activities. 3) Provide a system of trails which serve not only recreational purposes, but also connect residents with community destinations in order to support healthy lifestyle and opportunities for non -motorized transportation. 4) Make a variety of recreational opportunities available for residents. 5) Maintain cooperative relationships with recreational organizations within and adjacent to the City in order to provide recreational activities in a cost-effective manner.

Existing Regional Parks System Facilities: include Regional Parks System Facilities that are open for public use. These facilities include land that is owned by regional park implementing agencies, and may include inholding parcels within the boundaries of these parks and trail corridors that have not yet been acquired. Existing regional trails may include planned segments that will be developed in the future. Planned Regional Parks System Facilities (not yet open to the public): include Regional Parks System Facilities that have a Council -approved master plan and may be in stages of acquisition and development, but are not yet open for public use. Regional Parks System Boundary Adjustments: include general areas identified as potential additions to existing Regional Parks System Facilities to add recreational opportunities or protect natural resources. Specific adjustments to park or trail corridor boundaries have not yet been planned. Regional Park Search Areas: include general areas for future regional parks to meet the recreational needs of the region by 2040 where the regional park boundary has not yet been planned. Regional Trail Search Corridors: include proposed regional trails to provide connections between Regional Parks System facilities where the trail alignment has not yet been planned. 2040 Regional Trail Search Corridor System Additions: include regional trail search corridors that were added to the Regional Parks System as part of the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan. Key Changes in the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan Adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2015, the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan incorporates the following changes: Identify all proposed regional trails as regional trail search corridors All proposed regional trails that are not yet open to the public and do not have a Metropolitan Council approved master plan are represented as a general regional trail search corridor. The 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan depicted these trails with a proposed alignment. The alignment of these regional trails will be determined in the future through a planning process led by the regional park implementing agency. The alignment of these trails is subject to Metropolitan Council approval of a regional trail master plan. Acquire and develop ten new regional trails or trail extensions to meet the needs of the region in 2040. The 2040 Regional Trail Search Corridor Additions include: Carver County: • County Road 61 • Highway 41 Page - 34 12015 SYSTEM STATEMENT —MEDINA REGIONAL PARKS Three Rivers Park District: • CP Rail Extension • Dakota Rail Extension • Lake Independence Extension • Lake Sarah Extension • Minnetrista Extension • North -South 1 • North -South 2 • West Mississippi River The 2040 Regional Parks System Plan Map is depicted in Figure 1. Medina should consult the complete 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan in preparing its local comprehensive plan. In addition, Medina should consult Thrive MSP 2040 and the current version of the Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook for specific information needed in its comprehensive plan. System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community Regional Parks System Components in your community The following Regional Parks System Components within Medina as identified in the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan are listed below. Regional Trails Lake Sarah Extension Regional Trail Search Corridor: This regional trail search corridor was added to the Regional Parks System as part of the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan. The search corridor travels through Medina and Plymouth as it extends the Lake Sarah Regional Trail Search Corridor to connect Lake Independence Regional Trail, Baker Park Reserve, North -South 1 Regional Trail Search Corridor, and Medicine Lake Regional Trail. Three Rivers Park District will lead a planning process in the future to determine the alignment of the regional trail. When preparing its comprehensive plan, Medina should verify whether a master plan has been approved by the Metropolitan Council. If a master plan has been approved, the planned regional trail alignment should be acknowledged in the comprehensive plan. Otherwise, the general search corridor as shown in Figure 2 should be acknowledged in the comprehensive plan. Please contact Three Rivers Park District for more information regarding Regional Parks System Components in Medina. State lands in your community State park and open space units that provide outdoor recreation opportunities and natural resource conservation for the public complement the Regional Parks System and are recognized in the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan. The following State lands as shown in Figure 2 are within Medina and should be acknowledged in its comprehensive plan. • Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area — Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Please contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for more information about State lands.

Improve and expand existing facilities, improve handicapped access where possible, correct problems or conflicts where they occur, and provide expanded recreational opportunities where appropriate. Strategies • Development of trails that provide for multiple recreational uses will be given preference over those that do not. 2. Finalize and maintain the community park/playfield facility, Hamel Legion Park, located near the east boundary of the City, where most significant urban land uses exist and are proposed. 3. Provide a variety of recreational opportunities, through park, trails and open -space acquisition and development, to serve its residents. Strategies ■ Provide community and neighborhood parks in appropriate urban land use areas as these areas are developed. ■ Provide mini -parks and trails, where appropriate, to serve sub -neighborhood population concentrations. ■ Provide a multi -use trail system, coordinated with the regional, county, and adjacent cities' plans, emphasizing trail uses most desired by City residents. 4. Guide development, obtain easements and purchase land within the City to ensure that additional parks and trails are appropriately located as the City grows. 5. Provide funding for park, trail and open space planning, acquisition, development, and maintenance. Strategies ■ Trails should connect points of interest that are prioritized by periodic review by the City Park Commission and City Council. ■ Monitor and partner with Three Rivers Park District to protect and enhance the regional parks and trails system. 6. Maintain cooperative/collaborative relationships with governmental units and recreational organizations both within and adjacent to the City. Chapter 2 - Vision, Goals & Strategy Adopted November 17, 2009 C‘ T Y o k MEDINA Page 2 - 9 Chapter 6: PARKS, TRAILS, and OPEN SPACE Introduction This chapter assesses existing and future recreational needs of the City and recommends measures to accommodate those needs. The methods used in preparation of this section include: a review of the Park Plan in the 2000 Comprehensive Plan; an inventory and inspection of existing park sites; and a review of existing facilities, including trail and park planning standards, proposed policies, proposed expansion, and the trail system implementation procedures. Objectives The following objectives support the goals and strategies identified in Chapter 2. 1. Park land will be identified and acquired pursuant to the City's Parks, Trails, and Open - Spaces Plan: a) Park size should conform to Metropolitan Council definitions in Table 6-A, except mini -parks and pocket parks that may vary in size depending on the residential population they serve; and b) Park sites should be of suitable size for their proposed recreational uses. 2. Park, trails, and open -space management, administration, financing, and maintenance will be the responsibility of the City Council with the recommendation and assistance of the Park Commission. 3. Financing for administration, maintenance and acquisition of the City's parks will be incorporated into the regular City budget. Other sources of park funding may include subdivision development park fees, grants, support from local organizations, private donations, and consideration of a referendum. 4. In order for the City to provide a balance of services for its residents it is important that the City's park development plans be implemented Calling for coordinated efforts and a close working relationship between the City and its: a) Residents; b) City Commissions; c) Outside governmental units; d) Local organizations, including local school districts, riding clubs, snowmobiling clubs, athletic associations, service organizations, and outdoor recreational organizations; and e) City and privately operated recreational facilities, including golf courses, playfields, and trails. 5. Where possible, recreational facilities will be designed to be barrier -free so that handicapped citizens have reasonable access to facilities. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 MEDINA Page 6 - 1 Metropolitan Council's Parks, Trails, and Open Space System The Metropolitan Council components of a parks, trails, and open -space system will be the basis for analyzing existing park facilities and for determining proposed park development within Medina. TABLE 6-A Classification for Local and Regional Open -Space 1 Component Use Service Area Site Site Attributes Site Location Local Facilities Mini -Park Specialized facilities that serve a concentrated or limited population or specific group such as tots or senior citizens; may be in locations such as apartment complexes, townhouse developments or commercial centers.

Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 G s v ° MEDINA Page 6 - 2 As discussed in the land use chapter, Medina presently has three areas (identified locally as the Hamel area, Independence Beach and Medina Morningside) with a higher population density, and has proposed higher density along the TH 55 corridor in the future. The remainder of the City consists of a relatively small population spread over a large area requiring more flexibility when determining the type and placement of parks, trails and open space. This factor is particularly relevant when considering the criteria for mini -parks and neighborhood park/playgrounds, trails and connecting trails. The Metropolitan Council Classification System for local facilities indicates a site size of less than one acre as a mini -park and 10 to 25 acres as a neighborhood park/playground. Since Medina's population is spread over an area four and one-half miles by six miles, a more flexible size criteria is needed in these categories. Medina has added an additional category to the Metropolitan Council's classification for local and regional open -space called Pocket Parks (formerly known as Sub -Neighborhood Parks). The uses for this category are essentially the same as a neighborhood park/playground, but with less variety and some size limitations. Pocket Parks range in size from one to five acres. Because of the City's smaller neighborhood populations, the City has modified the Metropolitan Council's minimum size for neighborhood park/playgrounds to 5 acres from 10 acres. Medina's Existing System Additional parks, trails, and open spaces, have been added to Medina's Park System Inventory since the 2000 Comprehensive Plan including the Lake Medina Preserve, Rainwater Nature Area, Bridgewater at Lake Medina Neighborhood Park, and a Wild Meadows Neighborhood Park. Map 6-1 shows the locations of all parks, trails, and open space making up the City's existing system, and Table 6-B lists the City's parks and facilities. A. Regional Parks Medina's park system includes one county facility, Baker Park Reserve and one state facility, Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). These facilities play a significant role in the City's and Metropolitan's park system. Providing both active and passive recreational opportunities and fulfilling some of the local need for community parks and conservancy lands. B. Local Parks The City's park system presently includes the following sites. The facilities offered by each park can be seen in Table 6-B below. 1. Hamel Legion Park is almost 40 acres in size, is the largest park in the City's system and is located south of Uptown Hamel on the east boundary of the City. Although the playfield is not centrally located in the community, it serves the portion of the City with the highest current and proposed population density. This park continues to be developed.

Medina Morningside Park is 2.4 acres in size and serves the Medina Morningside area. This park includes a small area of open space for informal games and activities, a small picnic shelter, two small baseball diamonds, and a basketball hoop. 3. Hunter Lions Park is 6.8 acres in size and serves the area south of Uptown Hamel. This park is large enough to function as a neighborhood park and provides a number of facilities normally associated with neighborhood parks. In 1998, a prairie restoration area was included on the west side of the park with trails in the natural area. 4. Holy Name Lake Park is a 2-acre mini -park located on a major county road (County Road 24) and abuts Holy Name Lake. This park was not created to service any concentrated urban development area but serves several functions: a wayside rest and picnic area; and a public access to Holy Name Lake. Holy Name Lake will be used as a lakeshore restoration demonstration area. 5. The City Hall Site is 9.2 acres in size and is centrally located in the City, serving the entire City as the site for Medina's City Hall and public works facilities. A portion of the property commemorates the memory of the early settlers of Medina. In addition, portions of the original Wolsfeld log cabin built in 1856 were reconstructed on the City Hall site in 1999 and it serves as a museum owned and operated by the Western Hennepin County Pioneer's Association. 6. Lakeshore Park - Independence Beach (2975 Lakeshore Ave.) is less than 1 acre in size and serves the Independence Beach area of the City. Situated on Lake Independence, its functions include boat access by city permit and a fishing dock. It also has playground equipment and a picnic facility. 7. Walnut Park - Independence Beach (4653 Walnut St.) is a half -acre drainage area also used seasonally as a park, with a basketball hoop in the summer and an ice rink in the winter. This park could be a potential demonstration area for rain garden or shoreline planting. 8. Maple Park is 2.5 acres in size and serves the Independence Beach area of the City in conjunction with the two other parks in the area. A ball diamond and field exists for various recreational activities. 9. Lake Ardmore Nature Area is 18.3 acre undeveloped nature area in the Independence Beach neighborhood consisting of several parcels of land surrounding Lake Ardmore. 10. Cherry Hill Nature Area is a 1.5 acre area, primarily wetlands, used for drainage of storm water from the Cherry Hill development. 11. Medina Lake Preserve is an 69.9 acre nature area that includes a portion of Lake Medina and several surrounding acres. Trails are in place in the wooded regions surrounding the lake. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 G� 7 v o fi IIIIEDINA Page 6 - 5 12. Rainwater Nature Area is an 5.8 acre undeveloped area in the Uptown Hamel Neighborhood providing a nature preserve in an urban area. Furthermore, it will be a showcase area for native plantings. 13. Private Mini -Parks and Pocket Parks Foxberry Farms, Tuckborough Farms, and Northridge Farms all have parks that are owned and maintained by the respective homeowners associations and augment the City's park system. C. Quasi Public Facilities An excerpt of the 1980 Comprehensive Plan set forth below exemplifies Medina's continuing desire to facilitate the recreation needs of the community without directly providing organized recreational programs: "Of the total recreational services currently being provided to Medina residents, a strong role is played by quasi -public groups and individuals. Even though these quasi -public facilities and activities are not the responsibility of local government, a good share of the local residents participate in them. These recreational opportunities include, but are not limited to, horseback riding and snowmobile trails, summer camps, private school playgrounds, golf courses, baseball and softball fields. This Plan recognizes the significant contribution provided by these local Medina groups and citizens and strongly encourages their continued practice. No direct planning from the City of Medina Parks program will take place in relationship to the many quasi -public recreational services. The Parks Plan will concentrate on lands and developments owned and maintained by the City, existing as well as planned." Even though this planning exercise will not include "direct planning" of quasi -public facilities and will concentrate on lands and developments owned and maintained by the City, quasi -public facilities will be taken into account with respect to serving the recreational needs of the City, including the following: 1. Baker National Golf Course is approximately 336 acres in size and is included in the Baker Park Reserve. Many residents use this course which is regarded as one of the best public courses in the Metro Area. It also has winter recreational activities including, skiing, snowshoeing and a sliding hill. The property is a National Audubon certified golf course because of its wildlife -friendly management. 2. Medina Golf and Country Club is a 225-acre private golf course in the north eastern section of the City. A number of City residents and businesses are members of this club. 3. Spring Hill Golf Club is a 48.3 acre private golf course of which a portion is located in the south central part of the city. The club house and most of the golf course are located in the City of Orono. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 G Y Y NIEDINA Page 6 - 6 D. Trails The City's trail system consists of a combination of city, county, regional, and private trails. Most of the City's proposed trails have yet to be developed. The City is acquiring trail dedications and easements as development occurs. County trails are located along CR 24 and CR 19 and also include an extensive multi- use trail system within the Baker Park Reserve (see Map 6-2), including the Baker - Crow Hassan Regional Trail under construction during 2009. The Northwest Trails Association operates an extensive snowmobile trail system, part of which is located in Medina. Private horse trails, not shown on the map, are available through parts of the City and involve many private landowners. It is operated and maintained by volunteers and "gentlemen's" agreements. Medina's horse trails are an important part of its rural culture. Several of Medina's current or proposed trails connect with surrounding cities. The City of Medina will strive to connect with these surrounding trails. E. Other 1. The Loretto Playfield serves a number of organized teams in the region and has a playground area. 2. The Orono Schools Playfields are located on the south side of County Road 6 and provide recreational space for the City's southside residents through Orono's community education and recreation programs. 3. Elm Creek Community Playfields (Wayzata High School) is owned by the City of Plymouth and is located just east of Medina, north of TH 55. 4. Plymouth Park & Recreation is used by many residents through programs offered by the Plymouth Park and Recreation Department. 5. Orono Park and Recreation is used by several residents who take part in programs offered by the Orono Park and Recreation Department. 6. Corcoran Athletic Association provides a number of recreational opportunities for children and adults. 7. Hamel Athletic Association provides a number of recreational opportunities to Medina residents as well as to residents of surrounding cities. These active park areas, playfields and programs should serve the City's residents adequately for the foreseeable future. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 G Y ' o fi MEDINA Page 6 - 7 Medina's Future Needs for Parks, Trails, and Open Space Medina's future needs will be affected by the City's population, demands of its residents, and residential density. In the permanent rural area of the City, there will not be as great a demand for active parks with organized recreational activities. However, demand for passive parks that preserve open space and compliment the City's rural environment and character will be essential Table 6-C summarizes the City's existing parks using the Metropolitan Council functional classification. Parks listed in Table 6-C make up over seventeen percent of Medina's total acreage. TABLE 6-C Existing Functional Classification of Medina Park Acreages Functional Classification 2007 Acreage Community parks/playfields 36.9 Neighborhood parks/playgrounds 6.8 Sub -neighborhood parks (Public & Private) 6.4 Mini -parks (Public & Private) 6.3 Regional park reserve/refuge 1,684.8 Special Feature Parks (Public & Private) 639.3 State "Scientific and Natural Area" 180.5 Total Park Acreage 2561 Table 6-D below illustrates the City's potential future park and recreational needs using the National Standard for Recreational Activities. Based on Table 6-D, the City has more than adequate acreage, in most categories, dedicated to parks. Community play areas, as defined in Table 6-A will be added as residential development occurs in the sewered areas of the City.

Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 MEDINA Page 6 - 8 Medina's Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan The goals, policies, and analysis in this chapter provide the basis for the Medina's Parks, Trails, and Open Space Report. The plan addresses the following five specific areas of need: 1. Completion and maintenance of Hamel Legion Park. 2. Acquisition, upgrading, and development of neighborhood facilities to provide open spaces for active and passive recreational activities and fields for organized sports. 3. Improvements to existing parks. 4. Development of a coordinated trail system. 5. Developing sites for future community parks. Playfields 1. Hamel Legion Park continues to be developed through donations of cash, materials, and services from community individuals and businesses as well as City park dedication proceeds. Completed current plan elements include: • Four softball fields • Sliding hill • Basketball court • Small play area • Picnic Shelter Area • Warming house • Soccer field • Volleyball court • Ice skating rink • Family skating area • Community building • Fire Pit • Open play area • Two tennis courts • Paved trails • Entrance Plaza • Memorial Plaza • Playground Equipment Elements to be completed include a concession stand, ball field lights, parking lot by north field, and additional trees and landscaping. The City must plan to provide for adequate security and maintenance, including regular mowing in the summer and snow removal in the winter. Neighborhood or Pocket Parks As development occurs in the urbanized areas of the City, additional neighborhood and sub -neighborhood parks may be needed. An important criterion in planning such parks is the ability of residents and children to access a neighborhood or sub -neighborhood park without having to cross a major or minor arterial. 1. Hunter Lions Park - Maintain the recent improvements in the Park, which included: upgrading of the basketball court, adding additional picnic tables, and creating a paved trail to make the park more accessible. The City will provide a woodchip or turf path to the prairie restoration area and perimeter trail. 2. Medina Morningside Park - No significant changes are planned for this park. The ball field needs to be improved and maintained. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 7 w o. IllsEDINA Page 6 - 9 3. Lakeshore Park - Independence Beach - Maintain the new playground equipment and fishing dock and address the erosion and run-off to the lake. 4. Maple Park - Because of this park's limited size, improvements that require limited space should be considered, such as adding a picnic area. Special Use Parks As noted previously, Holy Name Lake Park, the City Hall site, Lake Ardmore Nature Area, Rain Water Nature Area, and Lake Medina Preserve do not fulfill the requirements for either community or neighborhood facilities. However, these parks are important to the City's park system. 1. The City Hall Site is necessary to accommodate the City Hall and the functions related to City activities. Consideration is being given to relocating the public works functions to another location, which would leave the existing site with ample space for future administrative and public safety needs. No permanent recreational facilities will be added to this site. Improvements will be devoted to beautification and historic preservation and commemoration. 2. Holy Name Lake Park is one of the most frequently used City parks. Improvements should include an upgrade of the access drive and parking area, removal of the boat ramp, construction of a small fishing dock, and mitigation of erosion to the lake. This area will also be used as a shore land restoration demonstration area. 3. Lake Ardmore Nature Area is located in the Independence Beach area and is currently undeveloped and unnamed. Because a large portion of the property is made up of wetlands, it can never be developed, but the City may formalize the area as a nature preserve, create trails through it with access to the lake and create a permanent buffer area. 4. Rainwater Nature Area will be used as a demonstration area for native plantings. 5. Medina Lake Preserve is mostly wetlands. Trails exist in the wooded regions surrounding the lake. Trails The trail plan, as shown on Map 6-2, proposes a network of multi -purpose trails. These trails will be located within road rights -of -way and will be separated from the vehicular surface by either a barrier, boulevard, or with a different or striped textured surface. Where possible, trails will be placed cross-country or near natural resource areas and connecting points of interest throughout the City. The plan also includes a proposal to create a pedestrian bridge over TH 55 at CR 101 which, while not in present city funding plans, could become an important link in the trail system as the City develops. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 7 Y Q .P MEDINA Page 6 - 10 The City's network of trails will tie into the proposed trails in neighboring communities, including Corcoran, Independence, Maple Plain, Orono and Plymouth . The Metropolitan Council's Regional Recreational Open Space Development Guide identifies a regional trail corridor extending west of Baker Park Reserve towards Lake Sarah Regional Park north of Lake Independence. The Trails Map (6-2) shows this regional search area. Open Space Medina's 2007 Open Space Report Medina's Open Space Task Force created an Open Space Report, which is not made part of this Plan and is available for review at the City of Medina City Hall. A summary of the report follows. Goals are to: 1. preserve the ecological integrity of Medina's natural infrastructure that filters and cleanses run-off, prevents soil erosion and aides in maintaining healthy lakes and water resources; 2. preserve the City's rural character, in which natural resources are the main feature of the landscape; and 3. provide an option to landowners to preserve natural infrastructure, without adverse economic consequences. Principles to guide implementation of an Open Space Report are to: 1. educate and to promote stewardship and preservation of natural resources to the public, land -owners and developers and raise awareness of the economic and environmental benefit of preserving natural resources; 2. co-ordinate conservation efforts with other agencies, such as watersheds, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park and non -governmental bodies, like the Minnesota Land Trust, Embrace Open Space and Pheasants Forever. 3. require permanently conserved land to be held in an easement by an outside agency, such as the Minnesota Land Trust, a watershed district or similar entities; 4. maintain land values and cause no economic harm to landowners or developers; 5. use incentives to encourage open space developments; 6. make Open Space Design an option across all zoning districts where natural features exist; Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space Adopted November 17, 2009 G Y ' o fi MEDINA Page 6 - 11 Definition of Open Space Design : Open Space Design is, in effect, golf course development without a golf course where development occurs around natural features, such as wetlands, woodlands, or farmland. The ecological integrity of natural areas is permanently conserved by a conservation easement, held and overseen by an outside agency. Buildings are clustered in a central location on smaller lots, and the dedicated open space is typically held under common ownership. Recommended Tools to Implement Open Space Design: 1. Incentives — develop a system, including a scale of points for best management practice and conservation design that can earn bonus building units. Such systems have been developed by other communities. 2. Regulation —natural resource performance standards; 3. Public ownership —purchase of development rights (a PDR program;); and 4. Park & trail dedication —draft flexibility into park and trail dedication ordinance.

Ted Fust with the Hamel Lions Club and Hamel Hawks Adult Baseball League has worked diligently to research options, seek quotes, raise funds, get volunteers, and create a replacement plan. Ted has been before the Park Commission multiple times to propose the replacement plan and get their endorsement. New Scoreboard The proposed new scoreboard will be similar in color scheme to the existing scoreboards at the little league field and quad #3 field, but it would be more advanced with LED digital display. The new scoreboard would have wireless controls that would be stored in a lockbox in the 1st base dugout. 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 1/2 feet on the bottom saying "Donated by Westside Tire and Ditter Heating & Cooling " for a total of 13 feet. These two donors would receive permanent recognition for their level of donations (Westside Tire donated $6,000 and Ditter Heating and Cooling donated $3,000). The other donors would be recognized with 48" round signs that would be posted on the fence for three years. Funding The total cost of the scoreboard and materials will be $13,149.49 and $12,000 has been raised in donations. It has been past practice that the city funds certain ballfield improvements at 25% of the total cost. The Park Commission reviewed this request and has recommended that up to 25%, but no more than $3,000 of the project cost come out of the Park Dedication fund.

Total $337.93 Agenda Item # 5F MEMORANDUM TO: Medina City Council through City Administrator Scott Johnson FROM: Jodi Gallup, Assistant City Administrator DATE: April 14, 2016 MEETING DATE: April 19, 2016 SUBJECT: Butterfly Gardens In the spring of 2015 the City Council had supported the promotion of Milkweed seeds for the Monarch butterflies to our residents in the Medina Message newsletter and at the Spring Cleanup Day. The city continued our efforts to help the Monarch butterflies by partnering with the Monarch Joint Venture to hold a pollinator seminar last summer The Park Commission reviewed various parks and nature areas in the city to determine the best location to plant milkweed and diverse nectar sources for the Monarchs. Most of our nature areas already naturally contain some milkweed so the Park Commission wanted to focus on an active park to educate the public. Last fall, the Park Commission recommended the use of Environmental Funds to plant the butterfly gardens in Hamel Legion Park. The garden would also include a Monarch Waystation Sign that says "This site provides milkweeds, nectar sources, and shelter needed to sustain monarch butterflies as they migrate through North America". The attached quote shows two options and has been provided by Designing Nature, who maintains our other gardens in the city. Designing Nature will supply the plants and plant the garden. Staff will discuss the specifics of the location(s) and plant varieties with the Park Commission the following evening at the April 20th Park Commission meeting. Staff recommends planting one butterfly garden at this time to measure its success and time commitment. We have received some interest from residents as part of our Friends of the Park program to help maintain the butterfly garden. Recommendation Approve quote with Designing Nature to plant a butterfly garden at Hamel Legion Park.
