3. METROPOLITAN MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT
The Council viewed a video prepared by the Metropolitan Mosquito
Control District (MMCD) which explained the programs they were
using to control several species of mosquitos and biting gnats.
Bill Jacobson and Tim Murch of the MMCD were present to answer any
questions the Council had.
Ann Thies asked if the programs were effective enough to justify
MMCD's 10.1 million dollar budget.
Jacobson said studies had shown that the Mosquito Control District
was effective in significantly reducing the mosquito population.
Tim Murch said there was a bill in the legislature to reduce the
MMCD budget by fifty percent and counties in the seven -county metro
area would have to support the nuisance control programs. Murch
said the counties had indicated that they were willing to support
the MMCD.
4. EXCLUSIVE USE PERMIT FOR HAMEL ATHLETIC CLUB
Ron Batty said he did not include budget amounts in the Exclusive
Use Permit he drafted for the Hamel Athletic Association which
granted the Association exclusive use of the Hamel Legion baseball
field.
Tom Anderson, president of the Hamel Athletic Club, asked how
restrictive the fourth condition was, which stated: "There shall
be no physical changes to City property without permission of the
City."
Thies said if the Association was only looking at repairing or
replacing something in the park, this would not constitute a
physical change.
Jim Johnson pointed out that the permit only mentioned the baseball
field and should have included all of the City's ball fields.
Batty suggested that a map be drawn up and attached to the permit
so the City would know which geographic areas were included. The
Athletic Club would have exclusive use of those fields during the
scheduled dates and times. Batty said the intent of the permit was
to allow all the participants to play ball by getting it on paper.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to grant the Hamel Athletic
Association an Exclusive Use Permit subject to the terms and
conditions contained in the agreement, with the provision that the
agreement will include the use of all the City's ball fields and
not only the Hamel Legion baseball field. Motion passed
unanimously.
5. HAMEL ATHLETIC CLUB'S REQUEST FOR 3.2 LIQUOR LICENSE
Ron Batty said he had originally been told by a staff member of the
Minnesota Liquor Control Division that Medina would have to issue
73
a permanent license if the City wished to allow the Athletic Club
to sell 3.2 beer during games. Batty said the staff member called
later and said a new legislative bill allowed the City to regulate
this type of situation through a temporary license.
Batty said in order to regulate the Athletic Club through a
temporary license, the Council would have to approve two ordinance
amendments: Section 515.09 related to the use of alcoholic
beverages in parks and Section 625.23 related to the issuance of
temporary licenses for on -sale, non -intoxicating malt liquor.
Batty said the body of the liquor license would state the
conditions which had to be met and the times in which the sale of
beer would be allowed.
Ann Thies said the police chief had brought up the issue of glass
containers and people drinking in their cars. She asked Tom
Anderson if the Hamel Athletic Club still felt they could control
liquor consumption.
Phil Zietlow asked what prevented people from bringing beer to
kid's games when adult games were going on at the same time.
Anderson said the Athletic Club had not experienced any problems in
the past. He said a fence could be erected around the bleachers to
help keep those consuming beer in the approved area.
Batty said the City needed to define the licensed premises. Batty
said there should be a description of the area where alcohol
consumption would be permitted.
Ann Thies asked if the City was licensing the premises or the
activity.
Batty said he saw this as a license which would specify who could
sell what on which days and in what areas.
Park Commission Chair Tom Gregor pointed out that under the current
ordinance, if another group was using the park it was not unlawful
for them to bring liquor into the park and consume it.
Batty agreed that this was a peculiar situation. He said the City
would be able to restrict the sale and consumption of beer on the
licensed premises when the license was in effect, but the current
ordinance would still apply elsewhere in the park.
It was moved by Johnson and seconded by Ferris, to adopt Ordinance
No. 285, "An Ordinance Amending Section 515.09 of the Medina Code
of Ordinances Relating to Use of Alcoholic Beverages in Parks."
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson and Thies. Nays: Zietlow.
Ordinance No. 285 adopted on a 3-aye and 1-nay vote.
In casting his dissenting vote, Phil Zietlow stated it was his
opinion that the purpose of the Athletic Club was to promote sports
and not to sell beer, which only diluted that purpose.
74
It was moved by Johnson and seconded by Ferris, to adopt Ordinance
No. 286, "An Ordinance Amending Section 625.23 of the Medina Code
of Ordinances Relating to the Issuance of Temporary Licenses for
the On -Sale of Non -Intoxicating Malt Liquor."
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson and Thies. Nays: Zietlow.
Ordinance No. 285 passed on a 3-aye and 1-nay vote.
Batty said the Council needed to deal with the terms of the liquor
license because the Athletic Club wanted to begin selling beer the
following Sunday. Batty said the Council would want to restrict
the license to the dates and times given. The City also needed a
description of the licensed premises and a certificate of insurance
for liability insurance. Batty said he could draft the on -sale
license agreement, subject to staff review, and forward a copy to
each councilmember before the end of the week.
Zietlow asked what would happen if any of the conditions were
violated.
Batty said the Council could suspend or revoke the license at their
discretion.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Ferris, to grant an on -sale, non -
intoxicating malt liquor license to the Hamel Athletic Association
which allows the sale of 3.2 beer at the Paul Fortin baseball
field, subject to staff and council approval of the city attorney's
draft of the license incorporating the conditions which must be met
by the Athletic Association by Friday, May 5, 1995.
Ayes: Ferris, Johnson and Thies. Nays: Zietlow.
Motion passed on a 3-1 vote.
6. JOSEPH & NANCY BIZZANO - FINAL PLAT APPROVAL
Loren Kohnen said he had reviewed the final plat of Joseph and
Nancy Bizzano, 1592 Homestead Trail, and everything had been
provided except a driveway easement from the Haislet's.
Ron Batty said if a fourth home was to be served by the private
road, the homeowners would have to comply the City's current road
standards.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to authorize staff to prepare
a resolution granting final plat approval to Joseph and Nancy
Bizzano. Motion passed unanimously.
7. JENNIE GOELZ - C.U.P. FOR ACCESSORY BUILDING
Jennie Goelz, 2325 Hamel Road, requested a conditional use permit
to construct an addition to her existing stable. With the addition
of 560 square feet, the total square footage would be 3344.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with four conditions.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Ferris, to authorize staff to prepare
a resolution granting a conditional use permit to Jennie Goelz for
a 560 square foot building addition, subject to the four conditions
75
recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion passed unanimously.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO ADD AGRICULTURAL PRESERVATION
TO LAND USE PLAN
Ron Batty said the Council needed to approve a "minor"
comprehensive plan amendment in order for Michael Seeland of
Stonegate Farm, Inc. to put 140 acres of his Medina property into
the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Program. Batty said
although a number of parcels in Medina were used for agricultural
purposes, none were designated for agricultural use under the
current comprehensive plan. Batty said even though the
Metropolitan Council considers this type of plan amendment as
"minor", there was no difference in the review procedure.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendment and
recommended that the land use plan be amended to include Michael
Seeland's 140 acre parcel as agricultural preservation.
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Ferris, to direct staff to prepare a
resolution adopting an amendment to the Medina Comprehensive Plan
regarding the designation of 140 acres of Michael Seeland's
property in the city for agricultural use. Motion passed
unanimously.
9. SUMMER HELP
Jim Dillman said the summer maintenance helper the past two summers
would not be returning to work for the City this summer. He asked
the Council to authorize the placement of an advertisement for the
summer position and to hire someone for the position at an hourly
rate ranging from $6.00 to $6.50 an hour.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Ferris, to authorize the placement of
an advertisement in the City's official newspaper to fill the
summer maintenance position at the rate of $6.00 to $6.50 per hour.
Motion passed unanimously.
10. THANK YOU FOR CLEANUP DAY VOLUNTEERS

April 29, 1995 cleanup day. The volunteers who helped outside of
