C. Planning Commission
Planning Commissioner Albers stated that the Planning Commission met on July 10th to
hold a public hearing on the stormwater management ordinance. He noted that there
was fairly light discussion as there were no controversial changes proposed. He stated
that the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the new ordinance.
Pederson asked if there were people in the audience.
Albers replied that there were no citizens present in the audience.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Woods of Medina — Final Plat (7:05 p.m.)
Pederson recused himself from the discussion as he has an interest in the project.
Sparks stated that this Final Plat is related to a Preliminary Plat which was approved in
2014 and had been extended since that time. He noted that the purpose of the review is
to ensure compliance with the Preliminary Plat and the conditions set forth in the
Resolution approving the Preliminary Plat. He provided additional details on Shawnee
Woods Road and the vacation that would occur as part of the Final Plat. He stated that
the property is heavily wooded, and the City wanted to conserve as many of the trees as
possible. He provided additional details on the method used to determine the calculation
of tree loss that would be allowed and noted that 39 percent removal rate would be
allowed and anything above that would trigger replacement. He stated that because of
the trees and constraints on the site, density was allowed at 1.9 units per acre. He
compared the Preliminary Plat to the proposed Final Plat and noted a few changes. He
reviewed some of the conditions related to Preliminary Plat that would continue. He
stated that the applicant would not enter into the Development Agreement as the
applicant would transfer the project to a final developer for the project, who would then
sign the Development Agreement. He stated that the proposed Final Plat is generally
consistent with the Preliminary Plat. He recommended approval subject to the
conditions and noted that the Wetland Replacement Plan and Development Agreement
are also before the Council for consideration.
Mitchell asked for input from Batty related to the proposed actions.
Batty stated that most of the action is standard and noted that the different element is
related to Final Plat approval. He stated that it is typical for the fee owner of the land not
to be the developer. He stated that typically the fee owner would find a developer earlier
in the process, which did not occur in this situation and therefore it is recommended that
Final Plat approval occur but signing and releasing the plat would not occur until a
developer comes forward to sign the plat and Development Agreement. He stated that
should the developer wish to make changes to the plat, that would come back before the
Council for further review.
1. Wetland Replacement Plan
Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to approve the Wetland Replacement Plan for
the Woods of Medina. Motion passed unanimously (Pederson recused).
2. Resolution No. 2018-44 Approving the Final Plat of Woods of Medina

Moved by Martin, seconded by Cousineau, to adopt Resolution No. 2018-44 Granting
Final Plat on condition that the ultimate developer of the property execute the
Development Agreement and meet the other relevant Final Plat conditions before
release of the Final Plat for recording. Motion passed unanimously (Pederson
recused).
3. Development Agreement for Woods of Medina
Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to approve the Development Agreement for
the Woods of Medina. Motion passed unanimously (Pederson recused).
Pederson rejoined the Council.
VIII. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT (7:20 p.m.)
Johnson noted that the next Council meeting will be Wednesday, August 8th because
Night to Unite will be held on August 7th. He stated that the City is still looking for
volunteers for Celebration Day.
Belland reviewed some of the areas that volunteers are needed for Medina Celebration
Day, noting that the event is on September 15th. Anderson, Pederson, and Martin
volunteered to assist at the event.
IX. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (7:22 p.m.)
Martin stated that the second strategic planning session was held with the four fire
departments that serve Medina and she believed there was healthy discussion.
Pederson stated that it was great to see all the departments in the same room having an
open and honest discussion.
Martin stated that her initial goal was to think through strategic planning for the fire
departments as to what will happen in the next 20 to 30 years. She stated that at the
first meeting, the Chiefs said that Medina needs to plan sooner than that and highlighted
challenges with recruiting, lack of available staff for daytime calls and weekend night
calls, thoughts for capital improvements, capital rolling stock/equipment, and thoughts
that had not been included in the previous planning. She stated that there will be an
increase in staffing costs between administrative duties handled by the Chief and duty
firemen that would respond to daytime calls. She stated that the fire departments were
pleased to be a part of the process as they are often left out of the municipal budget
discussions. She stated that it has been a nice forum.
Pederson agreed that this is creating a great working relationship.
Martin stated that she is reading about the recyclable plastic material that China no
longer wants to accept and noted that perhaps staff should start a discussion with
Randy's to determine if there will be an impact to Randy's Sanitation or the City.
Johnson noted that staff will reach out to Randy's.
