2, 1992 at 7:30 p.m.
PRESENT: Mayor, Gary Acromite; Councilmembers Ann C. Thies and
Robert Mitchell; Acting Clerk -Treasurer, Laura Monroe;
Public Works Director James Dillman; Planning & Zoning
Administrator, Loren Kohnen; City Engineer, Glenn Cook
ABSENT: Councilmembers Philip Zietlow and Wilfred Scherer
1. ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEMS
Laura Monroe said that the resolution to publish by title and summary
should not be for the curfew ordinance, but instead the
rural/commercial ordinance.
Gary Acromite asked to add the Clerk -Treasurer Position status to the
agenda.
2. MINUTES OF MAY 19, 1992
Ann C. Thies said that item 5 should be Lake Minnetonka Cable
"Commission" not "Communications" newsletter.
Gary Acromite said that the item 7 discussion with the trunk sanitary
sewer public hearing, where he was talking about easements, it should
read that if the easement was provided now in exchange for the lateral
assessment, it would be abated and not assessed when they could hook
up.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Acromite to adopt the minutes as amended.
Motion declared carried.
3. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Jim Dillman explained the reason for the purchase of the parks mower
that was approved at the May 19 meeting. He said that after trying
several mowers the one purchased, a Toro Groundsmaster was the best
one for the money. They didn't go with the lowest cost mower.
4. HAMEL SANITARY SEWER PUBLIC HEARING 7:40 P.M. CONTINUED FROM
MAY 19, 1992
Glenn Cook said that he had talked to 12 of the property owners and
delivered easement documents to them. He said that there was
favorable response on all those talked with. He said that the Midland
Nursery objection, he believed, was resolved.
Gary Acromite asked if it was an improvement from a two weeks ago.
Ron Batty said it was clearly an improvement from where we were. He
said that Midland Nursery was ready to withdraw their objection, as
they had a misunderstanding of the assessment.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Mitchell to close the public hearing.
The Public Hearing closed at 7:42 p.m.
Gary Acromite if they were done meeting with everyone yet.
Glenn Cook said he would still continue to meet with the property
owners.
Robert Mitchell said that he thought they should wait to adopt the
assessment roll until the second meeting in June. He said that there
were a few people with appeals pending, then they could decide to go
ahead with the project or not.
ion Batty said at that time they could decide about whether to condemn
97
those who didn't want to give easements. He said that he had a
petition and waiver agreement that had just been given to him by Terry
Forbord of Lundgren Brothers for the Wally Doerr property.
Robert Mitchell said that early last fall it was thought that the
decisions on the Comprehensive Plan for Medina would go quickly with
the Met Council and that this project could proceed quickly. However,
since that is not the case, they could let bids to contractors to have
the option on building this fall or winter or waiting until next
spring.
Gary Acromite asked if there would be a revised construction schedule.
Glenn Cook said that they would provide one.
Anne E. Theis asked if this delay would effect the original businesses
who would participate in this project, by impacting their businesses.
Gary Acromite said that although they would not be happy with the
delay, they are content as long as the city is making progress.
Robert Mitchell said that they may be in an area where the project
would have early completion.
Terry Forbord, Lundgren Bros., 935 E. Wayzata Blvd., said that they
were under the impression that the project wouldn't be delayed and
that they would be very much in favor of it being sooner than later.
Emil Jubert, 1182 Hwy. 55 said that he would like them to go back to
the Met Council to request sewer for both Mr. Laurent and him.
5. PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT
R.A. Olson/K. Dedeker Final Subdivision Approval
Loren Kohnen explained that the applicants were requesting final
subdivision approval for their property at and adjacent to 932 Medina
Rd. Preliminary subdivision approval was granted in December of 1991.
There is a signed private road agreement and survey plan which has
been reviewed by the city engineer.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to direct staff to prepare a
resolution granting final subdivision approval to R.A. Olson/K.
Dedeker, 932 Medina Road as proposed.
Motion declared carried.
David Kelm - Preliminary Subdivision Approval
Loren Kohnen explained that Mr. Kelm wished to subdivide 18 acres at
3175 Co. Rd. 24 into two parcels, on one of which Mr. Kelm has a home.
The lots proposed are Lot 1, 8.38 acres and Lot 2 9.62 acres. Both
parcels meet the soil requirements and neither lot can be split
further. Both have room for an animal structure. Septic sites have
been shown on the plan for both parcels. Both driveways should enter
at proposed road. Hennepin County planning should review and comment
on right of way for Co. Rd. 24. City engineer, Shawn Gustafson, says
that Hennepin County will require fifty feet of right of way from the
centerline of County Road 24. A ten foot wide drainage and utility
easement should be provided outside of this right of way. Proposed
appropriate drainage easements are shown on the subdivision, and
descriptions should be provided for theses drainage easements. At the
Planning Commission meeting, Leonard Leuer said that it should be made
clear that it is not the city's intention for the driveway to be a
realignment of Co. Rd. 201. The Planning Commission recommends
preliminary approval with 5 conditions.
Ann C. Thies asked if the County had intended on extending County Road
201 in this manner.
98
Anne Heideman said that she hadn't known of any instances in the City
of Medina, however she knew of an instance in the City of Minnetonka.
Glenn Cook said that they haven't required landowners to reconstruct
that road. It doesn't seem important at this time.
Robert Mitchell said that a third house served by that road would make
that it a condition to improve the road in preliminary approval. With
only two houses it wouldn't be required.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to direct staff to prepare a
resolution granting preliminary subdivision approval to David Kelm,
3175 Co. Rd. 24, for 18 acres into two parcels as proposed, with the
five Planning Commission conditions, and the sixth condition being the
methodology for paving the road if a third house would be added using
this road for access. Also indicate that the two lots proposed cannot
be subdivided further, indicate the reason, and the road easement for
the driveway cannot be used for extension of County Road 201.
Clarkson Lindley, 80712 Twelve Oaks Center, attorney for applicant
said that he would work with staff on the private road agreement.
Motion declared carried.
Holy Name Church - Replatting
Loren Kohnen explained that Holy Name Church wished to replat the
property owned by them that is currently eight parcels. They wish to
replat them to a total of four parcels. It was discussed in May of
1986 but never followed up on by the church. The city engineer
proposes that drainage and utility easements be provided along all lot
lines and adjacent to streets and Co. Rd. 24, and that the drainage
easement along the westerly line of Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1 Block 3
should be 25 feet. The Planning Commission recommends approval with
five conditions. He explained that there was a concern about the old
church meeting the setback requirements, but he had since checked and
found that it does.
Bill Rose said that originally they wanted to combine all eight
parcels into one. They discovered that they had to go through this
process to make it legally combined.
Robert Mitchell asked if they would check the light fixtures on the
building and make sure that they were of the type that is required
throughout Medina, ones that shine directly down and not out so as to
impact residents.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Mitchell to direct staff to draft a
resolution granting approval to Holy Name Church to replat their eight
parcels into four as proposed with the five Planning Commission
conditions, and the additional condition for their light fixtures as
requested.
Motion declared carried.
Non Conforming Use Ordinance Amendment
Loren Kohnen said that the Planning Commission recommends adoption of
this ordinance amendment with two conditions that the attorney should
clarify the purpose section in 825.16 and also clarify 825.15 subd. 4
and also 825.16 subd. 4. In subd. 4 of each section adding "not
limited to" and also possible the word "involuntarily" when speaking
of how a structure is damaged.
Ron Batty said he didn't understand the request about the language
change.
Anne Heideman said that the wording "didn't flow".
Ron Batty said that if the damage to the building is more than 50%
that it can't be rebuilt, whether involuntarily or not.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Acromite to adopt Ordinance #270,
amending Section 825 of the Medina code of Ordinances Regarding Non -
Conforming Uses, as amended.
Motion declared carried.
Rural Commercial/Industrial Ordinance -Resolution to Publish by Title
and Summary
Moved by Acromite, seconded by Thies to table adoption of this
resolution until there at least four members present.
Motion declared carried.
Rural Residential Ordinance
Gary Acromite asked the status of this ordinance with the Met Council.
Glenn Cook said that they have been reviewing the City's ordinance,
and he felt we were in pretty good shape.
Anne E. Theis said that she thought property owners with large parcels
were concerned about the 64/640, if the ordinance was changed to meet
this.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to table the Rural Residential
Ordinance Amendment, until recommendation is received from the Met
Council regarding our rural residential ordinance.
Motion declared carried.
Hamel Rodeo Temporary Signs
Loren Kohnen explained that the Hamel Rodeo is requesting permission
from the Council for temporary placement of four signs advertising the
Hamel Rodeo which will be held again in Corcoran. The locations of
the signs are Hwy. 55 & 66, Hwy. #55 and Co. #101, Hamel Rd. and
Brockton and Holy Name Dr. and Co. Rd. 24. The sign ordinance would
only permit these temporary off -premises signs with Council approval.
This approval has been granted in the past.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to grant approval for the
temporary placement of the signs for the Hamel Rodeo, as proposed.
Motion declared carried.
Planning & Zoning Procedures
Loren Kohnen presented the present list of steps taken by city staff
when working the public regarding variances, subdivisions, and
conditional use permits.
Gary Acromite asked if on small subdivisions if Loren investigated
septic systems and future sites, and where driveways will be placed.
Loren Kohnen said that he tried to let applicant know.
Anne Heideman said that the Planning Commission try to analyze this
information for the applicants when they are before them, and they
have tabled requests that are incomplete.
Robert Mitchell said that the applicants should be given the
ordinances that pertain to what they are doing.
BFI Monthly Meeting Report
Loren Kohnen presented the report to the council. He explained that
several items were discussed, especially the request from BFI to have
the landfill open some Sunday hours, because of their contract with
NSP for 18 months making it difficult to accept the additional tons of
garbage during the existing hours.
Ron Batty said that when the conditional use permit was negotiated in
1984 that BFI was forced to be open some Saturday hours for people to
be able to bring clean up items. Their had been a couple of occasions
that they requested to be open more hours on Saturday, and one
occasion they requested it of him.
Robert Mitchell said that the conditional use permit should be
reviewed to see if there is any leeway for the additional hours on
Saturday, but it would open up the entire conditional use permit if
they would consider Sunday hours. He said he wanted to avoid amending
the ordinance.
Anne Heideman said that slightly longer Saturday hours would be
preferable to them being open Sunday.
Loren Kohnen said that they really didn't want the Sunday hours,
however this contract has made them consider this possibility.
6. PARK COMMISSION VACANCY
Ann C. Thies said that there were actually two seats open on the Park
Commission, the one vacated recently by Fred Keller which expires in
January 1994, and another one by Mary Uhlig which expires in January
1993. Mary Uhlig had not attended at least the last four meetings and
by the rules, she should be requested if she wanted to continue or to
resign.
Thomas Gregor on the Park Commission said that Gerald Dykhoff said
that he had talked to Mary Uhlig that same day and she said that she
would be resigning, and would be sending a letter to that effect.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to appoint Kathleen Leutmer, 3160
Aspen Avenue to fill the position vacated by Fred Keller which expires
January 1994, and Steve Schmit, 1045 Medina Rd. to fill the position
vacated by Mary Uhlig which expires January 1993.
Motion declared carried.
Thomas Gregor discussed that the Park Commission had met with Tom
Kranz of the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development
regarding the grant that the City had tried to obtain for the park
property in Hamel. He said that the application had been turned down
because it didn't have enough points. They give grants based on
points, and usually the ones that meet the criteria have points in the
high 80's and the city's previous one was approximately 69 points. He
said that Mr. Kranz likes the City's project. He said that the plan,
as well as having a purchase agreement on the property is needed, and
that if it cannot be obtained, then there should be the city's intent
to condemn the proposed property, otherwise the application would be
held up.
7. ST. ANNE'S CHURCH - BEER & GAMBLING LICENSE FOR AUGUST 30
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to grant the Charitable Gambling
License to St. Anne's Church as requested, as well as approve a
License to Sell Non Intoxicating Malt Liquors at Retail for August 30,

Moved by Thies, seconded by Mitchell to accept the ad as drafted,
"101
