VI. COMMENTS
A. Comments from Citizens on Items not on the Agenda
Fire Chief Brandon Guest, Hamel Fire Department, stated they have been working to
improve the landscaping at the Fire Station for about a year. In addition they will create
a memorial garden for the firefighters, which will be done as an Eagle Scout project and
paid for through donations. As part of these projects, Assistant Chief Tom Gregor has
suggested the parking problem on the east side of the Fire Station also be addressed.
Guest explained that the area by Eugene Drive is paved, but it is not large enough to
park on without intruding on Eugene Drive. It has been suggested to meet with the
Planning Director and Public Works Director to see what can be done. He explained
there are low cost options to address the parking issue and make it look better.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008

However, they have been advised that they would need to follow a permitting process.
If that is required, they would not be able to do the project at this time.
Guest asked for the Council's assistance and input as to how they can "lighten" the
process and work directly with staff to solve this problem. He stated they would like to
extend their parking area by adding four to six feet of asphalt while redoing the
landscaping and other elevation work.
Scherer informed the Council that currently about one-half of a parked car intrudes into
Eugene Drive.
Crosby asked why this isn't within the purview of Public Works. Scherer explained the
Hamel Fire Department is privately owned and they also own the lot.
Smith asked why it would need to go through the Planning Commission. Benetti
explained that all projects within Uptown Hamel require site plan review and Planning
Commission consideration. He displayed a photograph of the area, noting the location
of Eugene Drive, the Fire Station, and grass strip. He explained how five to six parking
spaces could be constructed but would necessitate backing out into the Eugene Drive
right-of-way.
Weir stated Eugene Drive is part of the plan to give access to the building to the east.
Johnson stated this is no different than a parking lot, it is like a drive area, and has the
same dynamic. Benetti stated a site plan review is still required for all new projects.
Smith asked if the plan can be hand drawn, to reduce costs, or if they should just
continue to use the area as they are today. Crosby stated with the Bill Nunn request, a
hand sketch was not accepted. Wier noted the Bill Nunn plan was not professionally
drawn, and was accepted.
Guest stated they want to expand the asphalt so the cars are moved off Eugene Drive.
He asked how long the site plan review process would take and what it would cost.
Benetti stated a commercial site plan review is $5,000 and a public hearing is required.
Smith stated since there will be redevelopment in Uptown Hamel, it may not be wise to
spend a lot of money until it is determined how Eugene Drive will be used. It was noted
Eugene Drive will be needed to provide access to the back lots.
Crosby suggested they prepare a sketch plan so it is on file, noting using the area as
they currently are harms no one. Then when Eugene Drive is fixed, this issue can be
addressed at that time.
Smith stated it appears it is a City project so she does not want to grant special favors.
Crosby agreed and stated since Eugene Drive is not currently being used, he would
support allowing the Hamel Fire Department continued use of the area.
Smith asked if gravel could be used to create a hard surface. Benetti stated the Uptown
Hamel Ordinance requires a hard surface like concrete or asphalt. If the ordinance is
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
312
adopted tonight, that type of hard surface would be required. Also, use of grasscrete
are an option.
Weir stated this request is too premature and suggested the Hamel Fire Department
wait until development occurs.
Guest noted that their source of funding is the taxpayer and they are trying to find an
economical solution. He stated they have a need for parking that can be marked "fire
fighters only" when a call is received and the area under consideration would not take
away from other Uptown Hamel parking areas.
B. Park Commission
Ben Benson, Park Commissioner, stated their last meeting was July 16, 2008. They
almost completed the Trail Study and discussed progress on a number of the projects.
He reported on the following projects: the fountain is in place and operational and
landscaping is almost completed; Holy Name has all the base work for the trail and
parking lot done, shore restoration is complete, and they are about to start the rain
garden; as of tomorrow, the rain garden and conventional part of the trails will be paved;
and, today the Medina Road trail is being subcut.
Smith stated there has been an amazing amount of progress in the last year and a half
and she applauds Scherer for his creativity and getting things done.
Benson agreed, adding Scherer has been good to work with and is a benefit to Medina
in creating user-friendly solutions.
C. Planning Commission
Benetti reported the Planning Commission met on July 8, 2008 and is scheduled to
meet again on August 12, 2008. Since the last meeting, they conducted a special
meeting on July 17, 2008 to tour the wind tower sites in Northfield, Minnesota. Medina
invited people within one mile of the facility but only three people attended the tour along
with two Councilmembers, two Planning Commissioners, and four Hennepin County
members. He stated this will be presented at a public hearing process with Hennepin
County next Tuesday. At the next Planning Commission meeting, they will hold a public
hearing for the Three Rivers Park District application to build two 22 x 80 foot indoor cart
storages at the Baker Park golf facility. They will also review and hold a public hearing
on the Private Recreational Zoning District, a new zoning ordinance prepared by staff.
Benetti reported that four people attended the open house held on Monday regarding
Private Recreation Areas. The Planning Commission will also continue open discussion
on the Mixed Use zoning district.
Smith stated she was amazed by the wind turbines because even though you couldn't
tell there was a wind, the turbine blades were turning. The speed at the blade tip was
about 130 miles per hour yet you could hardly hear any noise. She thanked staff for
coordinating this tour.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Ordinance Creating the Uptown Hamel-1 Zoning District and Uptown
Hamel-2 Zoning District; Adding New Sections 834.1 and 834.2
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
313
Crosby stated this ordinance had been previously discussed and revised so the City
Attorney recommended the modifications be made so the Council could review the final
document.
Weir stated she does not want to promote raised islands and requested a revision on
Page 7, Subd. (e), Landscaping and Lighting, to remove the word "island."
The Council discussed several options to reword this subsection and provide better
clarity.
Council agreed to reorganize the subsection as follows: (e) Landscaping and Lighting.
Parking lots shall, where appropriate, have landscaped features and decorative lighting.
The landscape feature must be capable of infiltrating stormwater from the parking area.
The outer edges of the parking lot shall, where..."
Crosby requested, and Council agreed, to a revision to Page 7, second paragraph, last
sentence to indicate: "This fee shall be established under the then current city fee
schedule."
Weir requested and Council agreed, to a revision to Page 15, last sentence of Section
834.2.06, to indicate: "...are encouraged to have at least a two story design."
Cavanaugh asked whether a false front will be required if the building is only one story.
It was indicated Council decided to not make that requirement.
Cavanaugh noted that 20 percent green space is required and asked whether they can
place a dining area on that 20 percent area.
The Council discussed the options for allowing dining space within the 20 percent green
space if located on pavers. Benetti stated that option can be addressed during the site
plan process.
Council agreed to revise Page 12, Subd. ii), to add a last sentence: "This area may be
included in the 20 percent green space with the use of a pervious surface."
Moved by Smith, seconded by Weir, to adopt Ordinance Creating the Uptown Hamel-1
Zoning District and Uptown Hamel-2 Zoning District; Adding New Sections 834.1 and
834.2, as amended. Motion passed unanimously.
1. Resolution Authorizing Publication by Title and Summary
Moved by Smith, seconded by Weir, to approve Resolution Authorizing Publication by
Title and Summary. Motion passed unanimously.
Crosby recapped the results of this action for the audience, noting it will become
effective once the map designating the two areas is adopted. It was anticipated this will
occur after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted.
VII1. NEW BUSINESS
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
314
C. Preliminary Plat to Rearrange Lot Lines between Two Existing Lots —
Luetmer and Druk, 2920 and 2930 Parkview Drive
Benetti stated this is a preliminary plat submitted by Mark Luetmer and Tim Druk at
2920 and 2930 Parkview Drive. He used a map to describe the area and how Lots 1
and 2 would be reconfigured.
Weir asked where the Lot 3 house is located. Benetti stated it is not identified on the
map and explained where it is located. Weir asked about the location of the septic
tanks and house on Lot 3, noting this is a constrained site. Benetti agreed and stated
this is why staff requested the applicant to show the proposed building footprint. He
pointed out the conservation easement that is delineated on the survey and goes
through the building pad. He explained that will not impact the house footprint and
would be allowed by the Minnehaha Watershed District. That conservation easement is
the buffer and exceeds what is required under Medina's Wetland Ordinance.
Weir noted there are proposed and primary septic systems within the conservation
easements. Benetti stated they are accepted and allowed according to the Minnehaha
Watershed District.
Crosby stated septic tanks are acceptable and identified as such within the easement
documentation.
Benetti noted the location of a new easement line and area where a structure will not be
allowed. Staffs concern is that whoever buys the lot recognizes this is the intent of the
request and the limitations of the site are represented on all approvals.
Crosby agreed it needs to be of record and that a private easement is not adequate to
assure it is memorialized. Benetti noted it is included as Condition 1 in the proposed
resolution.
Batty explained that if there is a private restriction on where the house cannot be place,
Medina does not want to be in the position of having someone locate the house in the
one area allowed, and then declaring a hardship to justify a variance. He suggested it
be expressed that this Council is disinclined to ever grant a variance because it is
considered a self-created hardship. He agreed there should be language of record that
it was recognized as an issue and the property owners were warned it would not be
considered as a hardship for a variance.
Cavanaugh asked if something can be attached to the property and recorded. Batty
stated he thinks the Resolution conditionis sufficient and recommended the resolution
be recorded so that argument is not available to a future owner. Cavanaugh asked if a
title search would find such a recorded resolution. Batty answered in the affirmative.
Johnson noted there is no margin for error with five -acre sewerable and expressed
concern should any of the calculations be off. Weir noted there is precedence for
accepting such an application. Crosby agreed a similar request has been denied in the
past when short by one -tenth of an acre.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
315
Weir stated this came before the Planning Commission previously but it did not meet the
ordinance requirements. Benetti stated that is correct but the survey was redone to
meet the City's requirement.
Crosby noted this application will allow Lot 1 to have access to the lake subject to the
easement and the new house will be forced out of the view line of the Lot 1 house.
Johnson noted this is the site that was raped and pillaged with removal of all the trees.
In addition, the illegal fill was placed on Lot 1. He stated this will create a new lot for
someone who used illegal fill.
Cavanaugh asked what was created by the fill. Weir explained it raised the house so it
would have a view of the lake.
Smith stated her concern with this consideration under those circumstances.
Weir noted the request meets the City's requirements. She asked about Lot 2 and
where the well will go with the closeness of the septic system on Lot 1. Kellogg stated
that will be looked at when the building permit is pulled. He used a map to point out the
location of the well on Lot 1, which is within the 10-foot drainage and utility easement.
Because of that, the City required that the utility easement be expanded to assure it
would not be an obstruction should the City need to use the easement. Kellogg
explained that Metro West does not site the well prior to drilling.
Smith suggested the City consider an ordinance to regulate how close a well can be to
the lot line. Crosby stated the issue is whether the well can be properly maintained.
Kellogg stated it did cost the applicant more to create the easements.
Crosby noted this would create a reverse flag lot. Benetti stated that is not an issue
from the ordinance standpoint. He stated the Planning Commission had concerns of the
unusual shape of the rearranged lots, but since they met the ordinance and lot
standards, they recommended approval.
Crosby questioned the width requirement. Benetti stated the requirement is 200 feet at
the shore and the two lots meet that requirement.
Weir asked where the driveway will be located for the proposed house. Benetti used the
map to show the location.
Mr. Luetmer stated the view easement is good for the lake.
Smith asked whether a deck or patio can be located in the conservation easement.
Benetti stated only grading can be done. No structures or hard surface can be located
within the conservation easement.
Smith asked if the proposed septic systems can be located that close to the lake.
Mark Gronberg, representing the applicant, stated that was the area Rusty Olson tested
for the original subdivision and it meets the requirements. He stated at the time of the
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
316
building permit it was suggested to find a better location, and that will be looked at once
there is a buyer.
Cavanaugh asked about the testing. Gronberg stated the site was perc tested and that
information is part of the City's file on Highpoint.
Cavanaugh asked if traffic has driven over the septic sites. Gronberg stated the sites
were marked off at one time and he does not think there has been any traffic.
Smith stated there is a new Wetland Ordinance and asked if there was a change in the
septic setback. Benetti stated he did not think so. Smith stated she wants to be sure
the City has "crossed all the Ts and dotted all the Is."
Benetti stated the preserve requires a 50-foot buffer. Crosby asked if septic systems
can be placed within the setback.
Weir suggested a condition to require the applicant to look for alternative septic sites
outside the easement.
Gronberg stated the septic sites are 150 feet back from the lake and it would be
cheaper if they could be located closer to the house.
Smith asked if this was platted prior to having the conservation easement. Crosby
stated his recollection it was platted after because the conservation easement was
placed in record when the lot was sold.
Smith stated she would like staff to answer several questions prior to having to vote on
this application. She stated she is not comfortable approving this tonight without having
some of her issues resolved.
Johnson agreed a question remains regarding the septic field and location. He noted
there has been a blatant disregard to regulations for grading and fill, and this lot seems
to be a prime candidate for over filling. He noted that Medina only "slaps hands" so he
is concerned this site will be filled to level it and go into the conservation easement.
Smith stated she would like staff to go to the site to assure there has been no fill or
activity in the septic sites.
Weir suggested Condition 5 be revised to indicate: "The septic system for Lot 2 shall be
located outside the conservation easement, if practical."
Benetti stated the Council has until October 23, 2008 to take action.
Kellogg asked if the concern for fill and activity in the septic area is on Lot 1 or Lot 2.
Smith stated her concern is with Lot 2 because she knows a fair amount of activity
occurred close to the lake and the wetland on Lot 1 was filled. She stated she wants to
assure it has been mitigated on Lot 1. In addition, she remains concerned about the
amount of grading that can be done in the conservation easement. She would also like
staff to determine the amount of activity that occurred in the conservation easement
area prior to approving redrawn lot lines.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
317
Smith stated she does not think it should be approved unless Condition 5 states: "The
septic system for Lot 2 must be located outside the conservation easement unless there
are not two alternative sites outside of the conservation easement."
The Council agreed to this revision for Condition 5.
Smith stated it is absurd to have a conservation easement and then allow a mound
system. Benetti stated the people who have the conservation easement did review the
documents and made no changes.
Smith restated her preference for the septic system to be placed closer to the house,
which would be better for them, and be out of the conservation easement.
Cavanaugh stated the City needs to assure that two septic sites remain on Lot 1. He
noted a lot of traffic, filling, and grading has occurred on Lot 1 so he would like staff to
confirm if a second septic site is still available on Lot 1.
Crosby recapped the concerns raised by the Council.
Johnson stated he does not want the site filled again.
Smith stated this property has already been filled twice. An illegal berm was placed by
the original owner and the owner of Lot 1 brought in a lot of fill without a permit. The
other issue is whether the wetland that was filled was replaced at a 2:1 ratio.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Johnson, to table consideration of the Preliminary Plat to
rearrange lot lines between two existing lots as requested by Luetmer and Druk, 2920
and 2930 Parkview Drive, to allow time for staff to:
• Confirm the viability of septic areas, two for each of the two lots;
• Examine the easement area to make sure it has not been violated by reason of fill or
compaction; and,
• Review the proposed building area to determine whether grading already existed in
the area shown.
Smith concurred with Johnson about the need to determine what is there now so the
City will know if more fill is brought in. She stated the only reason Medina knew fill was
brought in previously was because neighbors complained. She stated she does not
want more fill to be brought in and would like staff to take pictures and monitor the site.
Smith asked staff to prepare a fine schedule in the event fill is brought in without a
license. She stated she supports a penalty in the range of $2,000, or to be based on
cubic yards of fill brought in, and does not agree with the current low fee of $200.
Crosby stated in this case, the amount of fill was not the illegal movement. It was filling
without a permit, which the property owner received once the fill activity was stopped.
Ultimately, Medina approved the fill. Kellogg clarified that the approved grading plan for
Lot 1 allowed an amount of fill. They started hauling it without a permit so the City
stopped the job. The property owner got a permit, but brought in twice the fill that was
approved in the original grading plan. That violation was not learned of until the as -built
grading plan was submitted.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
318
Crosby wondered why they were not required to remove the fill. Smith stated she would
support that requirement. Crosby noted the house has already been built on that lot.
He reminded the Council that previously, Medina had required a barn to be moved
because it was in violation.
Johnson asked if the topography shown on the drawing is old or new. Kellogg stated
with Lot 1, the grading plan shown is representative of what is there today. He stated he
cannot speak about Lot 2.
Motion passed unanimously.
D. Resolution Vacating a Flowage Easement on 250 Bergamot Drive. Lot 6.
Block 2, Wild Meadows Fourth Addition — Public Hearing
Crosby asked if anyone was present to address this issue. No one responded. Crosby
stated the Council will then consider Agenda Item VIII A and return to this item later in
the meeting.
A. Ordinance Amending Section 826, Regarding Rural Residential Zoning
Districts
Benetti reviewed the changes made to the Purpose Statement of Rural Residential to
reflect the Comp Plan. He noted that other agriculture uses and definitions were also
added and in Subd. 5, Landspreading of Yard Waste was eliminated from permitted
uses.
Smith commented on field testing done in Anoka County showing that after tilling in
grass and leaves, the soil holds moisture and prevents wind erosion. She stated they
also tested whether there was uptake in chemicals from the yard waste over a period of
time and there was none. She stated use of yard waste is a good thing.
Batty explained that 20 years ago, on the property now called Foxbury Farms, the owner
had a contract with a city so thousands of bags of yard waste were brought to the
property. The bags were opened and the leaves were being interred into his property.
That activity ended up in a lawsuit by the City. He stated it was thought to be an
ecologically sound practice and that everyone would be doing it. However, after the
lawsuit was settled, it was added to the ordinance but has never been used.
Smith stated she is reluctant to take it out of the ordinance. Batty clarified it is not being
removed, just moved to a permitted accessory use.
Benetti read Subd. 6 allowing stands for the sale of agricultural products, provided said
products are primarily raised or grown on the premises. Smith asked how "primarily
raised or grown" will be defined. Benetti stated staff will not be verifying where the
product comes from but hopes it will be from local farmers.
Crosby explained it will allow some additional products to be sold.
Smith asked if it means the "majority" of the products sold are raised or grown on the
premises. Batty stated that is correct and agreed the word primarily" may be
misplaced.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
319
Benetti explained the goal is to allow someone with a stand to also sell something like
vegetables from a relative.
Consensus was reached to direct staff to revise Section 826.19, (RR) Permitted Uses,
Subd. 6, to indicate the majority of the products will be raised or grown on the premises.
Crosby referenced Section 826.21 (RR) Conditional Uses, Subd. 2, and asked if there
are regulation for churches, which used to be primarily located in residential areas.
However, now they are constructed more as commercial structures.
Benetti agreed language should be added, as on Page 2, to indicate: "in compliance
with the conditions of Section 826.98, Subd. 2(b) of this ordinance."
Batty noted that the current ordinance contains, in Section 826.98, conditions on
churches and staff may want to examine, at a future meeting, whether they are still
appropriate.
Council agreed to cross reference that section with Section 826.98.
Crosby asked why solar energy was removed. He stated he agrees with permitting
solar panels placed on a house but asked about detached solar panels. Benetti noted it
has been moved to a permitted accessory use and the same CUP standards will apply.
The Council discussed the restrictions that are placed on solar panels to assure light is
not transmitted towards a neighboring property.
Benetti noted the language revision in Section 826.25, Subd. 1, to delete reference to
the two and one-half story limitation, advising 30 feet is standard with neighboring
communities. He pointed out that the lot size remains at five acres. However, Subd. 4,
regulating hard surface coverage was modified and is being recommended by the
Planning Commission.
The Council discussed the percentages of allowable hard surface coverage. Smith
stated her opposition to allowing 50% coverage. Benetti stated it addressed a single-
family residential home with a riding arena or paddock, which are considered hard
surfaces. Smith suggested more clarity by separating the paragraph so the second
portion relates to the chart that follows.
Benetti stated prior to this amendment, the allowed coverage was 50%. The proposed
standard will be more stringent for surfaces that shed water. Batty explained it creates a
second test, or standard.
Cavanaugh stated be believes 10% for five acres or greater is too low. Crosby noted it
would allow 2,200 square feet of coverage. Benetti stated 10% was arbitrarily set and is
open to Council discussion.
The Council discussed the areas that are and are not included as hard surface. It was
suggested to move driveways out of the 10% category. Johnson noted a riding area
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
320
could be three -fourths of an acre. Crosby pointed out that a riding ring is within the 50%
requirement.
Council consensus was reached to direct staff to research allowable hard surface
percentages and whether two standards are needed.
Crosby recessed the meeting at 8:57 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:04 p.m.
Crosby referenced Section 826.25, Subd. 5, and suggested removing the words
"accessory structure." He stated accessory buildings do not accommodate animals and
he does not want anyone to think an accessory structure has to be 150 feet from the lot
line.
Council agreed to this revision to remove the words "accessory structure."
Benetti presented Sub. 8., Animal Unity Density Standards, advising the language came
from State Statute.
Johnson stated the math calculation is not consistent. Batty stated the language
reflects the PCA standards.
Crosby asked if neighboring communities use these standards. Benetti stated
Independence and Corcoran use it.
Smith stated it is difficult to find a community that does not regulate animal units and
grazable acreage.
Crosby asked what context it is contained in the Statutes. Batty stated it is in the PCA
standards and directly related to manure production. He stated it is part of PCA
regulation of manure.
Benetti stated that many Medina residents have horses so one unit of horse per
grazable acre is very typical.
Crosby stated it would be helpful to know which neighboring communities used this
regulation. Benetti stated he will verify that information at the next meeting.
Crosby recognized Randy Hopper and Chris Renier who wanted to address this issue.
Randy Hopper, 2455 County Road 24, Medina, stated it came to his attention the City
was considering this regulation and raised his concern but he does not understand the
City's reasons or motives. He stated he knows the Council and Planning Commission
have spent time looking at these regulations but if the motives are laudable, and the
concern is water quality, he would prefer the City deal with degradation of wetlands and
water. He stated it is his understanding that degradation, water pollution, and issues
with Lake Independence have more to do with agriculture issues. He stated that is a
result of a mandate from State and Federal laws of which the City may not have any
jurisdiction.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
321
Hopper stated if the City is trying to find some way to comply with Federal mandates,
then he feels like it is trying to deal with "a gnat on the behind of the elephant" rather
than the "elephant" overall. He stated he does not want to be dismissive or belittle the
issue but wants to submit there is a greater need to explore this issue with a wider
audience and those who may know more about it. He stated that would be advisable
and well worth the while.
Hopper stated he spoke to several others who did not even know about this
consideration and they keep horses, have a great interest in the subject, and desire to
be heard. He stated he understands there was an open house or forum to provide input
but people are traveling, at their cabins, or caring for their children over summer
months. Hopper stated he does not think this issue should be finished and it would
create no burden or detriment to table consideration for three to six months to allow for
further discussion and input. He stated that juries and tribunals are greatly assisted on
highly technical issues by getting expert technical advice.
Hopper stated this issue is broader than doing something in a fashion that he believes
addresses and affects the very face of Medina. He stated Medina is a beloved place to
him and people think of Medina as being a beautiful pristine place with a rural residential
area. He stated that is the City's signature because it was developed that way and to
"tinker with its nuances would impact the face of Medina. He restated that he
respectfully requests the Council open this for another three to six months, which
creates no harm, and opens debate. He stated he wants to work collaboratively with the
City with the laudable goals they want to achieve. He reviewed his work with diesel
emission issues.
Smith stated the Council understands that Mr. Hopper does not want this decided
tonight. She explained that when the Council receives ordinances, they are reviewed
and a list of concerns created for staff to address. The Council is not thinking they will
finish it tonight.
Hopper stated he wants to collaborate with the Council and Planning Commission and
has experience from his law practice to help.
Cavanaugh stated his impression that Mr. Hopper wants no regulations. He asked if he
has looked at the proposal before the Council.
Hopper stated he briefly looked at it but not had time to form an impression. Hopper
stated he does not know if it will affect him personally but he is concerned it will impact
Medina and the ability to keep horses. He stated he would like to help find reasonable
and objective standards with the goals and interest of preserving Medina.
Crosby stated the Planning Commission minutes indicate if it is a manure issue, you
deal with policing manure. Smith stated she understands that but it hasn't worked.
Chris Renier, 3392 Hamel Road, Hamel, Minnesota, encouraged the Council not to think
about grids and numbers as much as an overall question if this kind of control is even
necessary, noting Medina has existed for a long time without it. She stated her general
position is if you want to solve a problem (water quality) you should look at what most
contributes to that problem and go for the big factors first. Then if you have the time
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
322
and inclination or money, work down the line. She expected horses and manure are not
likely the biggest factors contributing to degradation of water quality and may not be the
first place to look to improve water quality.
Renier stated Mr. Hopper had commented on the "face of Medina" and she believes the
last place you should go to solve any problem is to impose restrictions on how individual
land owners carry out their lifestyle, which is rural residential. She suggested the
Council not start with animal unit density but determine what the biggest factor is,
control that first, and leave aside animals. She noted the City can always go to the next
step but urged them to "drag their feet" because it would impose on people's lifestyles.
With regard to what other municipalities use, Renier stated the question is whether they
work because their water quality is better than Medina's because they have the
standards. Or do they work because they are in a place where no one cares. Or do
they work because the people in power take control of water quality. She suggested
that just because other communities have grids and numbers, that is not enough to
suggest it does indeed impact water quality. She again urged the Council to look at the
biggest contributor of water degradation and not lesser contributors that would impact
lifestyles.
Crosby asked if the number of animals was regulated with the Hogan barn. Benetti
answered in the affirmative, noting they are regulated under a CUP. Also a manure
management plan is a condition of approval.
Crosby asked if this is adopted, how does it relate to existing landowners and uses.
Batty stated if adopted, it would apply to everyone. If there are excessive animals under
the ordinance, they would be nonconforming. He stated the question is whether, as
animals die, they can be replaced.
Smith stated she felt a CUP process would be a good way to deal with this issue, noting
some horse owners do a good job of managing manure but others do not manage it
well. Smith stated there needs to be a process for people who do a good job.
Benetti asked if the standards should relate only to a CUP process.
Crosby stated his concern is a situation with five acres with people who do not
understand animals and get over their heads, which is tough on the animals and land,
including issues of water quality and denuded trees.
Crosby asked about animal abuse issues. Police Chief Belland stated there have been
very few animal abuse issues but that the humane society responded to a complaint but
the animals were provided with water and that resolved the issue.
Smith suggested a certain number of animals be allowed without a CUP but above that
standard, the Best Management Practices (BMP) set by the State for water quality be
required. She stated she does not think Medina should set a limit without providing
flexibility to go beyond that number, such as is done with stables.
Weir stated with a CUP if the applicant used good pasture management, does not
overgraze the land, and deals with manure, then a higher number could be permissible.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008

Smith stated she thinks this is being considered for water quality, but that is not the only
reason. She noted there can be a nuisance associated with this and, in the past, the
City has not done a good job of inspecting large stables. She stated this is not "starting
at the bottom" or the only thing Medina is doing to address water quality. She advised
of the City's regulations to test septic systems and to require setbacks, barriers, and
buffers for wetlands. Smith stated she would like staff to draft language to provide the
option of a CUP to allow more animals if certain conditions are met.
Crosby invited Hopper and Renier to provide suggestions for a better ways to avoid
"possible horribles," like five acres denuded. He agreed that external controls are
needed for people who may not understand animals. The Council does not want over
regulation but some rules are needed.
Johnson stated as a horse owner, he does not believe one horse per acre is a hardship.
Weir agreed it seems reasonable and stated her support for a two-tier system. She
noted that this will not be policed, it will be complaint based.
Renier stated she has a CUP and does not believe she will be impacted. However, she
believes less is better with regulations.
Weir noted that healthy pastures are also part of the "face of Medina."
Johnson pointed out that horses and ponies will eat themselves to death during certain
times of the year so a paddock without grass is necessary for responsible horse care
and management. Johnson stated he knows many people in Medina who have horses
and cannot think of anyone that this will impact. He stated he heard Hopper's
comments but he sees this as preserving responsible animal care as well as Medina's
beauty and character by preventing overgrazing and cribbing as well as improving water
quality.
Crosby recapped that the Council has been cautioned to go slowly and have less
regulation as opposed to more regulation, and Weir has indicated support for a two tier
system. Crosby commented on a property that is listed for sale and is one that has
never been abused but could be since it has a lot of buildings but little land.
Smith agreed that properties with large building facilities have that potential, which is
why Medina is looking at regulating the number of animals. Crosby agreed they start to
look like commercial operations.
Hopper stated the Council may be thinking about regulating from a punitive standpoint
but he would suggest they look at regulating by incentives.
Smith commented on the work of Betsy Gilkerson and the grant received from the
Minnehaha Watershed District. However, people did not step forward to utilize that
service. She stated that could be promoted more as an incentive because money is
available.
Wier noted that grant requires a 25% match from the landowner.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008

Hopper stated if the City codifies that, there may be more of a positive response.
Johnson referenced the weight characteristics for animals and suggested a similar
weight standard for sheep, llama, and goats. Smith agreed.
Crosby asked Johnson to work with staff to draft that weight category.
Benetti reviewed Page 7, noting the RR standards are being referenced in the RR-UR
district. He explained that Subd. (h) regulating wetland setbacks will be removed
because it is addressed in the Wetland Ordinance.
Crosby asked about the 40-acre presumption in RR-UR (Loretto area), which he finds to
be unrealistic. He asked if it would make more sense to have five acres contiguous but
if in that zone, you have to ghost plat.
Council agreed to remove the 40-acre presumption and require a ghost plat consistent
with the current Comp Plan.
Smith asked about side yard setbacks of 20 feet for lots of less than five acres. She
asked if it should reference "existing lots of record" since no lots in that area will be
divided to be less than five acres. Batty explained a language revision is not needed
because that section only applies to existing lots that meet those standards. He stated it
will still have practical application but to a small number of lots.
Crosby asked why hard surface coverage is indicated at 20 percent. Benetti stated it is
a holdover from the previous ordinance.
Council agreed hard surface coverage should be consistent with RR district.
Council agreed to strike "accessory structures" from Subd. 5.
Weir asked about the need for the language addressing feedlots. Chief Belland advised
of the locations in Medina. Scherer commented there are very few left in Medina.
Council agreed that language on feedlots should also be included in the RR District, and
should address capturing runoff, and implementation of Best Management Practices.
Crosby asked about the RR-1 district near Elm Creek. Benetti stated it is called
Hunter's Farm and been there for about 20 years. Batty estimated it was established in
1986 or 1987 to address a problem with the lot configuration. The lots developed met
size standards but were long and narrow so you couldn't build an animal structure and
meet the 150 foot setback. To deal with that issue, a separate zoning district was
established with the setback standard cut down to roughly one-half the setback.
Smith stated there are many wonderful old barns in Medina that don't meet the setback
standard and if that type of barn is not being used, then the property looses the right to
use it. She noted some of the bams have been in existence for 75 years.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
325
Crosby asked if there is a way to modify RR-1. Batty stated the district could be
eliminated and the property rezoned, but non -conforming structures would be created.
Benetti stated those Tots will not meet the five acre standard so they would all be non-
conforming.
Cavanaugh noted they are Tots of record. Benetti explained it can still cause problems
with insurance and resale.
Batty suggested staff determine the impacts should RR-1 be rezoned.
Smith suggested the animal units be placed on the RR-1 lots.
Cavanaugh asked if it would be a nonconforming lot if the standard reads five -acre
minimum or lot of record by a certain date. Benetti answered in the affirmative.
Crosby asked if the Planning Commission had a lot of discussion about this issue. Weir
stated there was a lot of discussion but the issue of spot zoning did not come up.
Benetti advised of staff's consideration and noted if you want control, it is better through
zoning than a CUP that has to be granted if the conditions are met.
Council consensus was reached to change Subd. 2, to include CUP standards for RR-2
so it conforms with recent applications and to include the requirement for concrete bins,
manure management, and control of runoff.
Council consensus was reached to table consideration of Ordinance Amending Section
826, Regarding Rural Residential Zoning Districts and direct staff to research the issues
raised and make modifications indicated.
1. Resolution Authorizing Publication by Title and Summary
This item will be placed on the next agenda.
D. Resolution Vacating a Flowage Easement on 250 Bergamot Drive, Lot 6,
Block 2, Wild Meadows Fourth Addition — Public Hearing
Benetti stated the applicants are requesting drainage flowage easement in the middle of
their back yard because they want to build a new pool and create dry creek bed
placement in the back yard. He used a map to identify the location of the existing
easement and a new easement they will convey to Medina. They are requesting to
vacate it now because the existing easement precludes some of the improvements the
applicants are requesting. Staff suggested vacating the old and establishing a new
easement would be the best process. Benetti used a map to point out the location of
the proposed pool, bridge, swale area, and pool house.
Kellogg stated he has been on site and met with the property owners. He explained the
original builder wanted to move the house back from the roadway. This is a unique area
where the drainage has to cross through back yards and does not follow on the lots.
The original builder was allowed to move the house back if he provided an easement.
Kellogg explained the bridge will not alter the flow of the site but is prohibited by the
language of the existing easement. That resulted in the request to vacate the existing
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
326
easement and to place a new easement with the expansion area as shown on the map.
He stated this will not technically be vacated until the easement is signed and recorded.
There being no input, the public hearing was opened and closed at 10:14 p.m.
Weir asked about the slow flow of drainage. Kellogg used the map to identify the
location of the existing swale and stated the other two lots being questioned do not have
drainage easements because they did not request to alter drainage over their lots. He
also identified the direction of flow and noted the applicant will install drain tile and
create structures to slow the flow of water.
Smith noted there are not many circle drives in this area but this is one of them. He
asked if they were required to have a permeable driveway. Kellogg stated that was not
a requirement on this lot. They are allowed up to 40% hard cover and this is at about
30%.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Smith, to approve Resolution Vacating a Flowage
Easement on 250 Bergamot Drive, Lot 6, Block 2, Wild Meadows Fourth Addition, with
conditions as noted. Motion passed unanimously.
Schedule Meeting Date
Crosby asked about the need for an additional meeting to complete the agenda items.
Council discussed available dates and topics on future meeting agendas.
Council consensus was reached to schedule a meeting on August 19, 2008, at 6 p.m.
IX. STAFF REPORT
A. Organics Program
The Council reviewed staffs report that included an update on the number of organics
participants in Medina, compared Medina's participation rates to neighboring
communities, and addressed recent marketing efforts. Wunsch stated this item is
informational and does not require action.
Smith stated she has a problem with the participation rates indicated in the staff report.
She noted the information mentions low participation in Loretto and she wonders what is
the recycling participation rate for Medina and Loretto. She stated everyone has
recycling because they pay for it but not everyone uses it.
Wunsch stated staff will provide the tonnage information.
Smith stated the report is dismal and she does not know if anyone signed up for
organics after the last mailing.
Crosby asked if it should be offered for no cost. Weir stated it could be offered free on
a trial basis.
Day explained that the City of Wayzata had a grant from Hennepin County so organic
recycling was offered free for two years. However, once they started charging
participation dropped off.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
327
Smith stated she does not support offering it for free and while she supports mandatory,
she does not think it will fly. She noted that people do not pay a 17% tax on organics or
recyclables.
Crosby asked Smith to present a proposal on how it could be better promoted.
Smith noted the suggestion to offer coupons. Jodi stated they were given out during
National Night Out. Weir noted they can also be given out during Medina Celebration
Days.
Smith stated the City's grant was $21,500 and asked about the budget. Jodi noted the
information related to the grant, budget, and costs. She stated Randy's Sanitation
should be encouraged to send out coupons to organics recycling customers to offer a
free month when they refer a customer and the new customer would also receive a free
month.
B. Low Impact Design Implementation
This item was tabled to the next meeting.
C. Uptown Hamel Parking Analysis
This item was removed from the agenda upon adoption.
D. Council Room Door Alarm
Chief Belland presented staffs recommendation to not install a Council room door alarm
due to the few number of request to use the Chambers.
Council concurred with staffs recommendation.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS — CONTINUED
B. Ordinance Amending Sections 825.07, 825.19 and 826.98, Regarding
Definitions, Accessory Buildings and Conditional Use Permit Standards
Benetti presented the recommended modifications to three sections.
Weir noted Section 825.07, Definitions, Subd. 47.1, Grazable Acres, and asked about
"non -treed land." Crosby asked and Council agreed to direct staff to modify the
language to have some trees.
Crosby questioned the reference in Subd. 47.1, Grazable Acres, to slopes over 12
percent in grade. He noted that pastures often have slopes.
Weir stated the Planning Commission discussed that it was difficult to measure slopes
over 6%.
Council consensus was reached to eliminate reference to 12% slopes.
Johnson suggested and Council agreed that reference to a loafing shed (often open on
one side to provide shelter for animals to get out of the sun and be protected), be
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
August 6, 2008
328
included in Section 10. Council discussed the size of a loafing shed, noting they are not
usually very large.
Crosby referenced Section 825.19, Accessory Buildings, Subd. 2, and asked who
decides if it is an ag use. Smith noted if it is a true ag use, the City cannot regulate it.
The Council consensus was reached to revise Section 825.19, Accessory Buildings,
Subd. 2, as follows: "...agricultural use or farming is, at the discretion of the City, the
primary use of the property."
Crosby referenced Section 826.98 and stated the word "must" is too strong and should
be changed to "shall" as used in subdivision 9.
The Council agreed to this revision.
Weir referenced Subd. 9 and advised of the Planning Commission's discussion about
requirement for garages in residential and agricultural districts to be the same in
appearance. The Planning Commission did not support that language because they felt
it was too restrictive for small homes.
Benetti stated he felt it was important to limit the height of an accessory garage in the
case where the house may be a one-story ranch with a huge over -story garage next to
it. The Planning Commission felt it was too restrictive and took out that language.
Benetti reviewed the language recommended by the Planning Commission.
The Council agreed with the finding of the Planning Commission that it is too restrictive
so that language will not be included.
Crosby referenced Section 828.09, Solar Equipment. Benetti explained the revision and
advised that nothing has changed; you still don't need a CUP to put up solar equipment.
Weir asked if Crosby's concern with panels on houses addressed. Benetti noted
language in Subdivision 5 that references impacts to residential character.
Council asked staff to strengthen that wording.
Smith asked if the Council agrees with limiting the size of the building. Benetti noted if
over 5,000 sq. ft. or less than 2,000 sq. ft., then it needs a CUP.
Weir questioned language in the present ordinance related to grazable acreage for
animals in rural residential. Benetti stated it was his impression from the Planning
Commission's discussion, that they wanted 1 animal for the first 2 grazable acres, and 1
per 1 after that.
Cavanaugh stated he agrees with that language.
Smith explained that 2 for 1 initially would preclude very small properties from having a
horse.
This item will be on the next meeting agenda.
