8. Park Commission Comments
There were none.
9. Planning Commission Comments
Loren Kohnen said the PUD ordinance would be on the next planning commission agenda
followed by a public hearing the next week.
10. Presentation from the Pioneer/Sarah Creek and Elm Creek Watershed Districts
Carolyn Dingdorf, technical advisor, said that she would give an overview of the commission
and the proposed rules and then turn it over to Ali Durgunoglu for further comment.
She said basically the proposed rules are a part of a 2001-2002 watershed plan revision. She
said this is a second generation plan required by law.
She said the existing rules are fairly outdated and not up to current standards. The object of
these rules it is not just to protect the water quality in the area but to enhance it.
She said the Pioneer/Sarah Creek watershed district encompasses Medina, Independence, and
Greenfield. The main purpose of the new rules is to protect the entire watershed, where
currently it only protects certain areas. She showed a map showing the different areas that are
currently protected. She said one of the more significant changes to these rules is that they
would affect all of the property within the entire watershed where currently they only affect a
limited area. Another change was the incorporation of a phosphorus load limit. All of these
changes are meant to create a non -degradation rule. The Watersheds do not want to let the
lakes and streams within the watershed degrade any further.
She described some of the phosphorus loads within the area. She said basically it was a pay
now or pay later proposition. Currently, the city of Minneapolis is paying millions to clean up
their lakes. She said it is easier to prevent the degradation of a lake than it is to clean up a lake
after the fact. Sometimes this is never possible.
She explained further some of the issues relating to the rules. She said they had a number of
comments regarding the burdensome nature of the rules. She said that in their opinion the rules
are not as burdensome as some may believe. Similar rules have been in effect in the city of
Eagan for twelve years and they did not affect the pace of their development.
She said she would like Ali Durgunoglu to address some of the more specific water quality
issues.
Durgunoglu said he was not going to address all of the changes in these rules. He said he
would give some background information and then base the remainder of his presentation on
the questions the Council may have.
He said there have been some misunderstandings about some of the issues within the
ordinance and a lot of attention and discussion has been on the rules dealing with phosphorus.
He said there are a range of other issues dealing with the volume, erosion control, sediment
control, wetlands, floodplains, and many other issues outside of the phosphorus rules.
Durgunoglu explained the rules. He went through the phosphorus table to explain what
somebody would need to do in order to insure they are not increasing the phosphorus load from

their property after development, and if they were, what types of ponding or other phosphorus
reduction methods they would need to use.
There was discussion about where phosphorus came from and the difference between
dissolved phosphorus versus non -dissolved phosphorus, dissolved is difficult to remove.
Durgunoglu said a majority of phosphorus is attached to organic matter — lawn, litter, leaves,
dirt, etc.
There was a great deal of discussion about whether or not ponds are an effective method for
reducing phosphorus.
Phil Zietlow raised a question about the rate of run off versus the volume of run off.
Durgunoglu said that it is best to regulate both since both have an impact on the amount of
phosphorus.
Phil Zietlow was interested if the watershed had considered any other methods for reducing
phosphorus other than NURP ponds. He said it seemed like the bottom line for dealing with
water quality was to have lots of NURP ponds. He said he could understand that some ponding
would be required, especially in the commercial/industrial areas, but it does not seem like NURP
ponds would be necessary in the residential areas, since they are already filled with wetlands
and other natural retention areas.
Phil Zietlow encouraged the district's advisors to look for better solutions than NURP ponds.
Durgunoglu agreed that ponds are probably not the ultimate solution, but for right now there is
so much data and research available for NURP ponds that they have become the preferred
alternative. However, in 25 years, ponds could become part of the problem if not properly
maintained.
There was some discussion about the problems with the NURP pond that was installed before
Long Lake.
Durgunoglu said that any pond needs to be designed properly in order for it to work. If it is too
small, phosphorus loads can actually increase. He said there is a lot of engineering that needs
to be done in order to make sure that NURP ponds are designed correctly.
Phil Zietlow said how can we encourage other methods for treating water.
Durgunoglu said there are lots of different ways. The City can make ditches wider on the side of
roads, or roads can be made smaller, less impervious surface. There are a number of ways to
reduce the amount of phosphorus.
There was some debate about the effectiveness of NURP ponds.
Phil Zietlow said he read a number of studies demonstrating the ineffectiveness of phosphorus
reduction by NURP ponds. He asked if the watershed district has ever measured the
effectiveness of the pond.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
April 18, 2000

Durgunoglu said they have never measured a pond in their watershed. He said they were
relying on research that had been done by others. He said effective and accurate measurement
is very expensive to do and is very labor intensive, therefore very costly.
Carolyn Smith said that a reduction in the amount of impervious surface could be a solution.
She said that was something they were considering in their new commercial/industrial area
anyway.
Durgunoglu said they would look at incorporating alternative methods into their rules. He said
one of things they are doing is encouraging pondlets or multiple ponds. He said the pondlet
model relies on a number of smaller ponds in a series rather than one singulars pond. He said
this has significantly improved the ability of the ponding structures to reduce the phosphorus
load.
There was some discussion about horse and cattle farms other practices that create a larger
amount of phosphorus.
Carolyn Dingdorf said they are currently working on a grant to work with different livestock and
horse farms to reduce the amount of phosphorus that is coming from those farms. This includes
such things as fencing property so that animals do not come in contact with the waterways.
She said in areas where one pond would not work on a smaller property a regional approach
could be taken.
Lenny Leuer, chair of the Planning Commission and interested resident, said that the literal
interpretation of these rules seems quite onerous. He went through a number of issues. He
showed some examples of the phosphorus loads before and after development and examples
of phosphorus loads from various livestock.
Durgunoglu pointed out some discrepancies in the information provided.
Overall it was determined that the phosphorus load from a field that is being farmed was much
less than from a field that had livestock and that a livestock farm had a much greater advantage
over the corn field when complying with the proposed rules concerning phosphorus loading.
Leuer said that it did not seem fair that a property with livestock prior to development would
have such a significant advantage over one that was being farmed prior to development.
After some additional discussion the Council recommended that the district seek other methods
for reducing phosphorus, be more flexible in determining phosphorus loads, try to
accommodate smaller parcels as well as look for a more flexible standard when measuring pre
and post development phosphorus loads.
Phil Zietlow requested some additional research studies, that Durgunoglu had mentioned,
showing the effectiveness of NURP ponds.
Carolyn Dingdorf said they would provide some other materials showing the actual phosphorus
load from livestock areas, as well as some additional examples more applicable to this
ordinance.

11. PUD #1 Application Process Timeline Discussion
Paul Robinson said the developers of the Elwell property would like to discuss with the City
Council the timeline for approving the Planned Unit Development, the Comprehensive Plan and
the submittal of their PUD application.
Dave Newman of Bancor said they were looking at turning their property into a dairy farm so
that their phosphorus loading would be looked on more favorably (just kidding).
Actually, Dave Newman said they were not asking for formal action tonight but a sense of
direction from the Council for a proposed timeline leading to an eventual approval of a
preliminary plat by the City Council at the September 5th Council meeting.
He said if you look through the PUD ordinance there is a concept plan approval phase and then
there are intermediate steps working towards the preliminary plat. He said that he met with
Loren Kohnen and staff to go through this time line and to see if this would work. He said that a
project of this size and complexity is going to take at least four to five months to complete and
they need to be able to start moving with the knowledge that the City Council is going to
accommodate, when possible, this process of going forward. He said they would like to submit
their application in May and have it addressed at the June Planning Commission meeting. He
went through the remaineder of the calendar with the City Council.
He said that they anticipate over the next four weeks spending $100,000 to design their concept
plan. The concept plan included fairly arduous requirements, two foot contours and a number of
very detailed provisions which were going to cost them a lot of money. They want to be able to
have some assurance that the City Council will generally agree that they can proceed on this
type of timeline.
Ron Batty said he was concerned that this was a very tight timeline. He said we can proceed in
good faith, however, there is no guarantee that the review process will be completed by
September. There are a number of contingencies that the City has no control over. We are still
working towards approval of the Comprehensive Plan and when the Elm Creek interceptor will
be provided to Medina.
The best case scenario is that the preliminary plat could be approved subject to final approval of
the Comprehensive Plan or with some other type of contingency by September.
Dave Newman said he understood that risk, but that they wanted to be able to have an
understanding that the City Council was willing to proceed.
Ron Batty said that there was a good possibility that things could work if a contingent approval
was okayed, but that would be a business decision that Bancor will need to make.
Carolyn Smith asked if the moratorium would have to be lifted for the application to proceed.
Ron Batty said that he thought that could happen after the PUD ordinance was approved.
There was some discussion about publication and approval of the ordinance. There was some
discussion about reviewing and moving forward with the review of this application.

April 18, 2000

Carolyn Smith said that it might be helpful to hire someone to assist the City's Planning and
Zoning Administrator in reviewing an application of this type.
Ron Batty said that may make sense, especially since this will require a great deal of review and
scrutiny for the amount of unique qualities that it may have.
Phil Zietlow asked if there was any way to extend the September 21 deadline.
David Newman said that they could extend it to October 28 with some provisions. He said that
they plan to take the concept plan from the Planning Commission to the City Council before
making any significant changes. He said this way they can get a reaction from the City Council
before changing any of their plans based on citizen reactions which may not be shared by the
City Council.
There was some additional discussion.
Generally, the consensus of the Council was that they were okay with this proposed timeline,
they would be willing to move forward, however, with the stipulation that there is no guarantee
being made by the City that they will be able to have the preliminary plat approved by the
September 21st deadline.
12. Discussion About Lifting the Moratorium in the Uptown Hamel Area
Loren Kohnen said that there have been several requests in the Uptown Hamel Area to lift the
moratorium for different types of development. He said at this point it is not possible to allow
any building permit activity to occur.
Jim Johnson said that this was also brought up in the Uptown Hamel meeting. He said there is
an office building that cannot be renovated and some other development issues that property
owners would like to initiate, however, they are not able to because of the moratorium.
Jim Johnson said that he has mentioned to the Uptown Hamel people that the ordinance that is
going to be created will offer them more flexibility for development, allow mixed use
residential/commercial, and allow some off premise signs that will help solve some of the sign
issues in the Uptown Hamel area.
Phil Zietlow said that depending on how the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee is
going, it is possible that the commercial area could have an ordinance by July. If so, the
ordinance may be done soon enough for the Subway property owner to accomplish what he
wants.
Carolyn Smith said it sounds like there have been a lot of requests. She said it would be nice
for the Council to know that. She said she would like the Planning and Zoning department to
put a note in the Friday report as to what type of activities and requests the department has
been receiving.
Carolyn Smith said she would have a hard time lifting the moratorium especially since there is a
large property on County Road 116 that was included in the moratorium and has not been
allowed to develop.

John Ferris said that he was not sure when the City Council enacted the moratorium they meant
to catch all of the properties in the moratorium that they have, especially the ones on 55 that
they are going to be improving the use from its current state. He thought that the City Council
needed to consider modifying the moratorium to take out certain properties that may have been
inadvertently caught.
Marilyn Larson from Inn Kahoots asked if this would effect her renovation of the exterior of her
building.
Ron Batty said that it probably does.
The Council requested staff to work on rationale for how and what types of properties or
activities could be done within the moratorium area or what kinds of amendments would be
needed to the moratorium in order to allow certain types of development.
13. Approval for an Outdoor Event at Inn Kahoots, Sunday, May 7 from 1 to 6 p.m.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Hamilton, to approve the MS fund raiser event at Inn
Kahoots. Motion passed unanimously.
14. Individual Sewage Treatment Ordinance
Paul Robinson said this ordinance has been before the Council on a number of occasions. He
said that the current draft has a number of changes based on previous Council discussions.
Phil Zietlow said he had some concerns with the ordinance. He was concerned that somebody
could not install a septic system on their own.
Robinson said in the license section of the ordinance there is a provision that references the
MPCA rules which do allow for an individual to install their own system, bu they need a certified
designer to design the system.
There was some discussion about not allowing 10 months to replace a system that was
considered an imminent health threat. Carolyn Smith was concerned and thought it should be
sooner.
Ron Batty said that he thought the idea was that there may be less time depending on the
season but that 10 months would give people adequate time to replace it.
Robinson said he believed in this circumstance the City has allowed homeowners to plug their
holding tanks. Then the tanks are pumped fairly often until a new system is in place.
Robinson said if the Council wants to be less restrictive, in general, then they may want to allow
performance systems.
The consensus of the Council was to allow performance systems.
Robinson said that a date would need to be picked whether to start this program in 2000 or
2001.
The consensus of the Council was to start the program in 2001.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
April 18, 2000

Phil Zietlow said he was concerned that people would have to replace their system within three
years.
Robinson said the ordinance includes a provision requiring replacement within three years
unless they are taking part in the maintenance program. If they are taking part in the
maintenance program they can continue to use the systems until it becomes an imminent
health hazard. Robinson said this is actually less restrictive than state law. He said he wanted
the City Council to be aware that Hennepin County's ordinance is also more restrictive. He said
state law requires cities to follow the county's ordinance if it is more restrictive.
At this time, if the City Council wants to remain less restrictive, then they can leave that
provision until told otherwise.
Robinson said that he neglected to put in a word on page 3 Subdivision 6, failing ISTS section A
after "replaced", there should be "upgraded, replaced or repaired" as a part of the list as in the
other section of the ordinance where that same sentence is used.
The Council said to incorporate the changes made and bring this ordinance back to the next
meeting for approval.
15. County Road 101
John Ferris said he wanted to see if the Council wanted to go forward with this project.
He said there seems to be some issues with speed and some other issues with alignment, and
he just wanted to see what the consensus of the Council was.
John Hamilton said that he thought it was important that the City moves forward with this
project. He felt that a safe road design was critical.
Carolyn Smith said she had two comments. She thought a lot of the traffic on this road is
coming from areas outside of the City and that it would be better for 101 to be routed through
Plymouth or Maple Grove and not necessarily routed through the City of Medina.
John Hamilton said that if the City does nothing on this issue, the traffic is still going to be there
and the traffic is just going to increase and get worse. He said that Maple Grove will develop
and people are going to be using the side streets. Realigning the road at this time is not going to
change the dynamics of the traffic.
Phil Zietlow said that County Road 19 and 101 are easy routes through the City.
Paul Robinson said that Jim Dillman is not here tonight, but that he and Loren and himself had
talked about a staff position on this road. He said they recommended that the City Council
move forward with realignment and paving of the road. He said it is especially critical now
before development occurs. He said there has been talk about development on the east side of
101 in the suburban residential area and in the multi -family residential zoned area on Julius
Dorweiler's property. If this were to happen, there could be an additional 100 to 200 units there,
as well as the 120 to 150 on the Elwell property. He said after this development occurs it will be
much more difficult to improve this roadway.
Jim Johnson said that he agreed with John Hamilton that there is a safety issue here and that
improving this road is important.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
April 18, 2000

Jim Johnson said that he was especially concerned about fixing the intersection which kind of
an odd intersection and not very safe. He said that residents and businesses in Uptown Hamel
would also like the intersection to be straighter so there is a safer entrance into the Uptown
Hamel area as well as some additional traffic.
Julius Dorweiler said that he just saw the concept plan the other day. He thinks that there is not
that much of a problem — there is not that much rationale for straightening out the road. He
thought that having the road curved slowed people down. He was concerned about the amount
of his property that might be taken and if it were taken where he would get access on to 101.
He had a lot of concerns and did not think that the intersection was that bad. He thought there
was a lot of bad driving and people not knowing how to take left turns. This could be rectified by
enforcement by the police department.
Doug Theis, who lives on the east side of 101, said he does not think that his property needed
to be taken. He thought the curve should be straightened since there are a lot of problems with
people driving on those curves but that the southern half of the road could be left alone.
John Hamilton said if they are going to fix 101 that they ought to fix the 101 and County Road
47 intersection and put turn lanes in there so that it makes that intersection safe, much safer
than it is today.
There was some discussion about fixing the road way from the S curve north and leaving the
southern section alone.
Bruce Polaczyk from Hennepin County said that he is not sure about segmenting portions of this
project. He said that this is a state aid highway and there are a number of rules and regulations
on how this type of project can be done. He did not believe they could segment the project . He
said they could look into that. He said that the county is responsible to the public and also to
the buyer of the Elwell property. They sold this property with the understanding that this
roadway would be upgraded.
Bruce Polaczyk said there is going to be an increase in the amount of traffic on this roadway,
not just from other cities, but also from the development that is going to occur on both sides of
the road in Medina.
Jim Johnson raised concerns about the impact on this roadway from other cities as far as
Dayton and St. Michael coming south to into the metro area.
The consensus of the Council is that the curves in the northern part of the road should be
straightened out. There was less consensus about what to do in the southern half of the road.
Some of the Council Members were interested in keeping the roadway as close to the current
road bed as possible, they were also interested in having the county working with the property
owners that would be affected and try to have the most minimal impact or no impact on current
properties as possible.
There was some discussion about whether the signal light at 55 and 101 interchange would be
modified.
Julius Dorweiler said the temporary signals there today were going to be replaced at some point
no matter what.

Bruce Polascek said that the county would like to work on the southern half of the road
especially to straighten the geometrics of that intersection so that the intersection has a better
and safer alignment.
Jim Johnson said the Uptown Hamel area would like to improve and encourage some additional
traffic.
John Priem, police officer, said it is an awkward intersection that can be confusing. There have
not been many accidents at the intersection; however, based on his experience this intersection
can be a bit confusing.
Phil Zietlow said that a curve on the southern end may actually be safer and slow people down
versus having it straighter. He wondered why they would not just to use the existing roadbed.
There was some additional discussion about extending 101 to Peony Lane in Plymouth and
then across on 47 instead of having to going through Medina.
Jim Johnson said that he was concerned about that proposal because his kids attend the high
school there and there is quite a bit of traffic already on that road and it does not need additional
traffic.
John Ferris said that he could put together a letter to the Hennepin County generally explaining
the City's position. He said he would say that the Council wants the northern section of the road
realigned and the two curves adjusted, however, stay as close as possible to the existing road
bed on the southern half of the road with as minimal impact as possible on the two residential
properties.
He said he would draft this letter and send it to the County.
Bruce Polaczyk said that there is obviously a lot of controversy on this project. He wanted to
make sure that they understood that they have a good track record on working with people on
roadways and minimizing the impact of projects on residential property.
16. Park Commission Appointments
There was a letter requesting appointment to the Park Commission from Brad Kvanbek. He
was a resident of the Independence Beach area. He said he was interested in serving on the
Park Commission. He was actively solicited for this position by Jerry Dykhoff, saying that they
needed a representative from this area. He said he would be willing to volunteer his time to be
on this commission.
There was some discussion on the City Council whether or not to readvertise for the Park
Commission openings since there has been so much time since it was originally advertised.
After some discussion the City Council decided to appoint Brad Kvanbek.
Moved Jim Johnson, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve the appointment. Motion passed
unanimously.
Staff was directed to readvertise for a second opening on the commission.

17. Seized Vehicle
Jon Priem said recently an old Oldsmobile was seized by the police department. They would
like permission to auction off or take bids for the sale of the vehicle.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to approve the taking bids for sale of the
seized vehicle. Motion passed unanimously.
18. MP5 Rifles
Jon Priem said several years ago the police department purchased nine -millimeter rifles called
MP5's. He said at that time they were looking towards a more accurate shooting mechanism
versus a shotgun, which spreads out a wide range of ammunition. He said that after weighing
the cost for training and upkeep of these weapons it did not seem to make sense to keep them
any longer. He said Officer Kroeger, who is the firearms trainer, thought it would be better to go
with shotguns.
He talked with different police jurisdictions in the area. He said McCloud County was interested
in purchasing the weapons. He said that the weapons would be sold for not much less than the
original purchase price.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by John Hamilton, to approve selling the MP5 Rifles to
McCloud County. Motion passed unanimously.
19. Approval of the Purchase of an Additional Computer for the Officers
Paul Robinson said currently eight officers are sharing one computer. He said after the
installation of their new software program, PC Enforce, it became readily evident that their
current computer is not able to handle the number of employees and the newer programs. He
said that they are looking to purchase another one between $800 and $1,400.
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by John Hamilton, to approve the purchase of a second
computer for up to $1,400. Motion passed unanimously.
20. Willow Drive
Jon Priem said they conducted the additional enforcement requested on Willow Drive. He said
Chief Belland provided some additional information regarding this in the Council packet. He
said there was not a lot of traffic. They did issue some citations in the area and did notice some
truck traffic but not a significant amount of activity.
He believed the Chief talked to the County about their trucks ,which are prohibited on this road,
according to their CUP. He said the area road supervisor told the Chief to notify him if we see
any county trucks using the road.
Phil Zietlow asked if it would be possible to post Willow as a 4-ton road.
There was some discussion about this being proposed before and that there were a number of
problems with that such as garbage trucks and school buses and vehicles that would be
delivering items to homeowners.
Glenn Cook said that almost empty trucks or trucks with three yards of gravel can weight up to
seven tons.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
April 18, 2000

Glenn Cook said that because the soils are so bad in this area they are going to need to
construct a nine ton road in order to make it work.
John Hamilton was concerned about changing the speed limit to under what it is required to be
under state law. He said how could the City ethically enforce that.
Carolyn Smith said that the City Council needs to come up with some solutions for this. After
some additional discussion the Council directed Jim Dillman to once again meet with the
residents and come up with some creative alternatives for: creating a paved road that had a
more rural feel, accommodating horses along the side, posted with a speed as slow as
possible, and posted with a reasonable weight limit.
21. Inflow and Infiltration Grant
Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Phil Zietlow, to approve resolution authorizing the Public
Works Director to apply for an I & I Grant. Motion passed unanimously.
22. Northwest Suburban Chamber Golf Event
Paul Robinson said that each year the City Council has taken part in the Northwest Suburban
Chamber of Commerce Golf Event and in recent years has been approved at the City Council
level.
Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Jim Johnson, to approve taking part in the chamber event.
John Ferris, Phil Zietlow, and Jim Johnson also said they could take part. Motion passed
unanimously.
23. Pay the Bills
Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to approve the bills, order check numbers
20899-20955 for $91, 991.71 and payroll check numbers 16539-16553 for $17, 084.68. Motion
passed unanimously.
Carolyn Smith said that before adjournment she would like to mention she thought the police
department's newsletter for the reserves was very well done and thanked them for their hard
work.
24. Adjournment
Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to adjourn the meeting at 11:20 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.
