3. TOWNLINE RD. IMPROVEMENT
Glenn Cook reported that the City of Independence intends to pave Townline Rd. from Co.
Rd 11 to Hwy. 55 and has asked that Medina pay for one half of the gravel and fabric
or approximately $45,000.
Anne Theis stated that she had told an Independence resident that Medina has only one
residence on that road but might consider participaing in an amount that it costs the
city each year for maintenance.
Thomas Anderson stated that whatever Medina does must fit into the budget so participating
in the cost of the gravel base would not be out of line with the budget.
Glenn Cook stated that it could be paid for in a number of years.
Thomas Anderson asked who would carry the cost.
Glenn Cook stated that Independence intends to blacktop the road anyway so they might
agree to Medina paying on an annual basis.
JIm Dillman stated that Medina spends from $5000 to $6000 each year for maintenance
on Townline Rd.
Thomas Anderson suggested that the city participate in the cost of the project over a
period of four years or $11,000 each year.
Glenn Cook asked if the city was interested in assessing the affected property owners.
Anne Theis stated that there is only one house on the road.
Thomas Anderson stated that Townline is not a road that the residents have asked be paved
and we would have to do the base work anyway so the city could contribute that amount.
He asked that Glenn Cook convey the discussions to Independence and report back to Council.
4. ROLLING HILLS RD.
Jim Dillman stated that there is 350 Ft. of Rolling Hills Rd. in Medina which Corcoran
will blacktop if Medina does the base work. This work would cost about $5000 and Medina
could participate because Medina has never done any work on that road.
Robert Mitchell asked that he and Councilmember Scherer make a recommendation to Council.
5. HACKAMORE RD.
Jim Dillman stated that Corcoran would like to pave Hackamore Rd. but if the west one-half
is improved by them the residents of Corcoran are concerned that the Medina residents will
not be assessed for the improvement. He stated that they also want to know when the
easterly portion of the road will be improved by Medina.
Robert Mitchell stated that the staff should bring back the cost of blacktopping Hackamore
Rd.to the budget meeting.

JoEllen Hurr explained that David Christinson, 4072 Hamel Rd-, had made application for

the application and recommended approval with a number of conditions that. the Christinsons

Motion declared carried
DeVac, setback variance
JoEllen Hurr explained that the Planning Commission had reviewed the DeVac building
height and setback variance application as contained in Plan M, in which they requested
a height variance of 11 ft. to allow a portion of the building to be built to 41 ft. and
a setback variance from Hwy. 55 of 70 ft. rather than the required 100 ft. She stated
that the PLanning Commission had not reviewed the site plan because the developer only
wanted to use Plan M and not Plan N, which did meet the required setbacks.
Patric Blees, CMN, representing deVac, presented the site and building plans for the
100,000 sq. ft. building with plans for a future addition. He explained that the
building was designed for production lines and because of the DNR protected wetlands
they were limited in their development.
Frank Hetman stated that the parcel of land is unusual, with severe limitations for a
septic system.
Patrick Blees stated that Plan N lessens the expansion capability by 20,000 sq. ft.
Robert Mitchell asked why the offices could not be moved to the west and south to avoid
the need for the setback variance.
Frank Hetman stated that they were trying to place all of the offices on the main corr-
idor of the building. He stated that this facility could be built in other areas of
Minnesota or Iowa with no difficulty but they would like to remain in Medina.
Wilfred Scherer asked why they couldn't design the building with rounded corners of the
office section to avoid the need for a variance.
Stephen Schmit stated that bacause the building was still in the design stages it should
be drawn to meet city ordinances.
JoEllen Hurr explained that if this variance was granted the building would be 5 ft.
closer to Hwy. 55 than the QX Inc. building, located to the west of this site.
Patric Blees stated that he had been told by the State Highway department that setback
requirements are never set by them, beyond the right-of-way that they own.
JoEllen Hurr stated that the Highway department would probably want the full 100 ft.
right-of-way in that area when Hwy. 55 is improved.
Frank Hetman stated that he was aware of the possibility of a problem with the highway
right-of-way in the expansion area.
Anne theis stated that this is a quality building and she would like to accomodate
the developer.
Robert Mitchell stated that he believed that the offices could be moved,as he had
suggested earlier.
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Scherer to approve a 75 ft. setback variance to allow
DeVac to construct a manufacturing/warehouse at 4365 Willow Dr., variance granted on
the basis of location of existing adjacent buildings and property constraints, with
the Planning Commission to review plans which places the building 5 additional feet
to the south.
