Fred Webber, president of Gramercy Club at Elm Creek located at Hwy 101 north and
Hwy 55, along with other members of the community, stated he and many residents are
interested in following Plymouth's plans for the Elm Creek Golf Course. He mentioned
he and many residents have been attending Plymouth's City Council meetings regarding
the issue.
Webber explained that the main concern of the community is the traffic flow in and out
of the development, with 3-6 units per acre, if Plymouth does not allow entry from the
east or south sides. He added that the conclusion is the entry will be located off
Highway 101, which is in Medina.
Webber stated Medina expects growth in the area and that Plymouth is indicating they
would like to use Medina's roads as access to the Plymouth development. He
mentioned the three roads that will be used as access to the Elm Creek Golf Course
development.
Webber asked the Council how Medina and Plymouth work together on such issues.
Workman replied that Plymouth has not yet approached Medina formally about the
issue.
Lorsung stated she has spoken with Plymouth planners who have not given any official
notice about plans for the northwest area. She noted she has been following the golf
course development and Medina is aware of the potential problems. She stated there
has not yet been the opportunity for Medina to make official comments regarding the
issue.

Cavanaugh asked what roads residents will use to access the development. Lorsung
explained that Plymouth would like to utilize roads between Medina Highlands and
Gramercy as their main artery.
Smith asked what rights Medina has to tell another City "no" about street access.
Lorsung stated the City can comment and put restrictions on the road. but cannot
completely limit access.
Lorsung explained it is a City road in question and added there are other opportunities
where roads could be built to access the development.
Workman stated that although it is not an agenda item, he would like Staff to research
what rights the City has to restrict traffic. Lorsung added Plymouth will do a traffic study.
Smith suggested residents attend the Plymouth City Council meetings and also
suggested residents call Ginny Black in Plymouth.
B. Park Commission
Adams stated the agenda includes capital improvement and improvements on the
Hamel Community Building.
Smith stated there would be an update on Hunter Drive Trail and a consulting firm for
Rainwater Park.
C. Planning Commission
Lorsung reminded residents that there are two Comprehensive Plan open houses about
water resources at the Hamel Community Center on July 25 and 26.
Lorsung reviewed the Planning Commission agenda with the Council. She added the
only item not moving forward is the cemetery ordinance because the Planning
Commission agreed more thorough discussion of the issue is warranted. She stated
public hearing notices will be held and mentioned several items that will be discussed.
Smith stated she and Weir believe that neighborhood meetings should be held before
the Comprehensive Plan open houses are completed. She added that the meetings
were quite helpful and well attended the last time they were implemented.
Workman stated he agrees with Smith and Weir and prefers neighborhood -specific
meetings over city-wide meetings. Smith added the meetings would be in addition to
those already planned.
Workman suggested Smith and Weir break down neighborhood demographics and
bring suggestions back to Staff.

Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
July 18, 2006
236
adding new Sections 815.01 through 815.33
Lorsung summarized the issues discussed at the last Council meeting: window sig
and decals, vehicle signs, multi -tenant signs, definitions of various signs, whether
panoflex lighting qualifies as a sign, and non -conforming signs.
s
Weir added that her concern was decal signs, which she felt should be more closet,
defined. Lorsung replied that she could better clarify decals in the definition of win s ow
signs.
Cavanaugh asked about temporary signs and how the ordinance affects them. Lorung
pointed out the part of the code where temporary signs are defined. She stated an
type of temporary sign over five square feet will require a permit.
Workman asked if a problem with signs is driving the change in ordinances. Lorsu
replied that the City is cleaning up language regarding all different kinds of signs a
bringing the regulations under one ordinance.
g
d
Workman asked for clarification about window and temporary signs. Smith expl=ined
what types of signs are covered under the ordinance. She explained that the issu was
not brought forward because there was a problem, but because the ordinances were
contradictory.
Weir stated one of the City's objectives is to clean up conflicting codes, which inc udes
the sign ordinance. Smith added that in 2005, the Council requested all ordinanc: s be
reviewed and changed if necessary.
Workman stated it is important for the City to take into account business owners hen
changing codes. Cavanaugh agreed.
Lorsung explained that many Cities have more restrictive sign ordinances than the one
proposed in Medina.
Cavanaugh stated he got a call from a resident with specific comments.
Jeff Pederson, 710 Shawnee Woods Road, stated he was the only Pla ning
Commissioner who was opposed to outlawing portable signs. He stated he believe. the
City should charge a fee for portable signs because there are many instances in hich
they are used and that certain businesses and signs should be grandfathered in.
Pederson stated his second contention was with vehicle signs not being used =s a
display. He explained that the DMV requires any business automobile to have busi, ess
names and contact information displayed on them and that the new City code w II be
non -complying. He agreed that vehicles should not be parked as a sign.
Weir stated there was additional language added addressing vehicles p. rked
specifically to function as advertisements and that the language needs to be very
concise.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
July 18, 2006
237
Workman voiced his concern about the subjective determination of when a vehicle is or
is not being used as a sign. Cavanaugh asked how the City justifies allowing certain
vehicles to be parked and not others. Smith stated it is a clear-cut issue about vehicles
being parked advantageously. Cavanaugh asked how "advantageously parked" is
determined.
Workman questioned the reason for restricting signs. Smith and Weir responded that
the City does not want tacky signs to degrade the City. Smith stated that lines need to
be drawn so businesses are attracted to Medina. Workman replied that he does not
want to take away businesses' rights to promote themselves in reasonable ways.
Smith asked about the difference between temporary and portable signs. Lorsung
clarified that there many different types of portable signs and in certain districts, certain
types are encouraged. She gave the example of sandwich boards in Uptown Hamel.
She also addressed the other types of portable signs that are of concern.
Weir asked what types of signs could be allowed in certain instances, such as the flea
market. She asked if a portable or temporary sign could be allowed for a certain time
frame.
Workman supported the idea that there should be some time frames in which temporary
signs should be allowed. He added the City needs to have the flexibility to make such
exceptions.
Workman stated there are some time frames that should be allowed for temporary
signs. He stated the City needs to have the flexibility to make exceptions. Smith noted
that businesses should use other ways to entice customers instead of relying wholly on
signs.
Webber stated he believes the City should be more concerned about small signs for
things like garage sales, homes for sale, and campaigns rather than business signs.
The Council replied that such signs on the City's right-of-way were discussed.
Weir asked for a definition of window signs and whether window painting is a policy
statement or definition.
Sonsalla stated it could be placed in the definition or in a different point of the ordinance.
Lorsung stated the issue is discussed further later in the ordinance.
Weir requested better wording for non -conforming signs under Subdivision 1.
Smith requested Staff compare the proposed ordinance with ordinances from other
neighboring cities such as Orono. Plymouth, and others. Smith also requested some
research into studies about how to encourage patronage to businesses and suggested
the City offer them to businesses in the area. She noted her agreement with Workman
that the City does not want to hurt businesses.
Weir questioned panoflex lighting. Smith stated it should be addressed in the lighting
ordinance and that panoflex lights should be disallowed. Workman stated it should be
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
July 18, 2006
238
addressed in both sign and lighting ordinances because if a logo is included, it is
technically a sign. Weir agreed.
Workman added that he believes the entire panoflex is a light, and if the outdoor li • hting
ordinance dictates that all lighting be downcast. panoflex will be disallowed.
Weir asked what impact such an ordinance would have on businesses. Wor man
stated businesses will do what they have to in order to comply with code. He stat: d he
is comfortable with panoflex being addressed under the commercial lighting ordina ces.
Lorsung stated she has clear direction on all issues except portable signs. Wor man
stated he believes they should be allowed by permit. Smith stated she has no problem
with a time -limitation on portable signs.
Pederson asked if flashing signs could be disallowed and Lorsung replied that fla .hing
lights are not allowed under the current ordinances.
Pederson suggested that once a quarter, a business could apply for a portable sign
permit. pay a fee, and will only be allowed the sign for a limited time. Cavan: ugh
agreed with the permit fee for commercial users, but Smith brought up a constitu iIonal
issue with requiring only one type of user to pay a permit fee.
Weir suggested a 14-day time limit on portable signs, once a quarter. S ith,
Cavanaugh, and Workman agreed.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Smith, to direct Staff to revise the Ordinance Related to
Signs. Repealing Sections 815.01 through 815.25 and 828.06, amending Se ions

passed unanimously.
B. Ordinance Related to Tree Preservation and Replacement
Adams stated that the map was added and wording regarding the private road was e-
worded.
Smith asked for the numbers regarding significant trees. Lorsung stated there was
definition and added that the map outlines the significant trees. Smith stated the
ordinance should specifically address what trees are considered significant.
Lorsung explained the problem with the map is that it is accurate at the time at whic it
was created and it can only be added to the ordinance if it is 100% accurate. She
added the City does not have enough resources to continually inventory trees and
update the map.
Smith stated the City needs a map so residents can know if the tree ordinance affec s
them. Workman added his concem is that many significant trees are not listed on t e
map.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
July 18, 2006
239
Lorsung suggested a map be available at City Hall. Smith added she would like
language identifying where the trees may be. Lorsung asked if the Council would like a
map of all significant trees. Workman and Smith replied they would. Cavanaugh asked
if such a map is possible. Lorsung replied the City could map all significant trees. Weir
stated she would not like such a limiting definition because the Council should not be in
the business of restricting trees from being removed from a yard.
Workman asked if the language was changed to add, "no more than one acre may be
disturbed" regarding undeveloped land. Smith reminded the Council that the "no more
than one acre" applies to all land, not just undeveloped land.
Lorsung stated she recalled the language would apply to undeveloped land and a
definition of undeveloped land was presented. Cavanaugh responded that the Council
agreed that the one acre language should apply to all land.
Lorsung asked if the Council was okay with the words "undeveloped land" being
removed. Smith agreed to the change.
Smith asked about the removal of trees within the public right of way in the "exemptions"
section of Subdivision 5. She stated that trees can only be removed "if best -
management practices have been followed," and added that the best -management
practices are listed in the back of the ordinance.
Cavanaugh asked about the definition of a private drive versus a private road. Smith
replied that there was a differentiation between the definitions.
Lorsung pointed out other inconsistencies in the ordinance and noted that Staff will
review the document for such other inconsistencies.
Smith summarized the changes that should be made to the ordinance:
• Page 12, Subdivision 5D, at the end, after residential, add "if best management
practices in Subdivision 8 have been followed"
e Strike the definition of undeveloped land at the top of page 14, which is V,
• Subdivision 4D, strike "on any undeveloped property" after "removal of more than
one acre of trees."
• Add definition of private road to distinguish from private driveway
e Corrections to incorrect references to subdivisions
Cavanaugh asked if private driveway would be added and about the exception. Smith
stated a private road will be defined after the principle structure.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Cavanaugh, to direct Staff to amend the Tree Preservation
and Replacement Ordinance, as summarized in Smith's outline. Motion passed
unanimously.
Cavanaugh stated he would like to see additional building rights used as a carrot to get
developers to preserve trees. Workman suggested Cavanaugh bring it up in the Open
