VIII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Ordinance Regarding Setbacks for Decks from Upland Buffers; Amending
Chapter 8 of the City Code (7:27 p.m.)
Finke stated that the Council requested additional information following their discussion
at the last meeting. He stated that three examples were provided as they were the most
interested in the process and are all homeowners within The Enclave development. He
stated that staff has been working with the most interested homeowners on possible
alternatives and believed that they have found a way to accommodate decks that they
would be satisfied with, using the average wetland buffers. He stated that the Planning
Commission did not recommend action on this item.
Mitchell stated that it appears the pressing need seems to have gone away and noted
that if the Council does not want to amend Chapter 8 of the Code a motion could be
made to that effect.
Finke stated that the application has been withdrawn and therefore no action is
necessary if the Council does not wish to amend Chapter 8 of the City Code.
Mitchell confirmed that the Council would not like to take any action.
B. Sewer and Water connection Fee Policy Discussion
Finke stated that during the work session at the last meeting this policy was discussed.
He stated that the issue arose due to the fact that the sewer and water connection (SAC)
fees are high compared to other communities, which is due to the infrastructure needed
to generate water and the small base the City has to recoup those costs. He stated that
the Council expressed some interest in looking into ways, which could lessen the blow to
smaller business owners as the connection fee does have an impact on those small
business owners. He stated that the connection fees are established in the City's fee
schedule and noted that the Ordinance is proposed to be amended to include text that
would state the City could deviate from the Metropolitan (Met) Council's SAC policy. He
noted that the connection fee per unit would be changed but the policy would give credit
to the small businesses, to which the fee would be applied. He explained that two
credits would be granted to a use moving into a building that has previously paid City
fees. He provided examples of how this could apply to recently approved applications.
He referenced restaurants and stated that there has been an interest in the city in trying

Finke stated that it is anticipated that the actual water usage would be more but the
credits would help to incentivize uses that the City would like to attract.
Martin referenced the proposed credit of two units for a business moving into an existing
space.
Finke stated that staff looked at the option of four credits but that would be a relatively
large use and slid that down to two units.
Martin clarified that the credits would be given to businesses moving into a building that
has already paid an equal amount of at least two SAC units. She asked how the
reduced figure would compare to fees for similar restaurant uses in other communities in
this area.
Finke stated that Medina has a higher fee per unit, about three to four times that of other
communities, and noted that if reduced by two units the fee would then be in line with
neighboring communities.
Martin referenced Item 2A and asked if a restaurant has one more seat, such as 32
instead of 31, would it be required to add another unit.
Finke stated that rounding to the nearest whole number would be used and noted that
additional clarifying language could be added.
Martin asked if a full service restaurant should have a greater water allocation charged
compared to a coffee shop or wine bar, which would have a more limited use of water.
Mitchell stated that there is faster turnover in a coffee shop or wine bar.
Finke stated that restaurants could be shifted to the figure used for coffee shops and
bars and coffee shops and bars could be raised to one unit per 31 seats, or both could
be set at the one per 23 seats.
Martin stated that the credit mentioned in 2B should be clarified that it could only be
used to the extent of the new use being not greater than the prior use.
Finke provided additional information regarding a multi -tenant retail center and noted
that a multiplier could be used to add additional clarification.
Mitchell stated that staff could make the amendments proposed tonight and bring back
the revised version for the Council to review at the next meeting.
Martin stated that there is also a broad policy discussion as the fees are set to provide
for the infrastructure needed in the future and the decision that will be necessary as to
whether the tax payers are willing to make up the difference in order to bring in desired
businesses and uses.
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Martin, to direct staff to amend the proposed
ordinance as directed by the Council. Motion passed unanimously.
IX. NEW BUSINESS

Mitchell received confirmation that Beuhler owns lot one and the name of the resident
that owns the outlot portion of the lot. He asked for clarification on the driveway
easement.
Finke stated that there is a shared driveway and an easement could be placed on that,
removing the easement that goes across lot one.
Batty stated that there are multiple residents that use the shared driveway and explained
that the purpose would be to move the easement to the used shared driveway and
remove the easement that is not of use across lot one.
Martin referenced the driveway and asked when the existing easement was granted.
Finke believed that occurred in 1980 or 1981.
Mitchell asked and received confirmation that the new home would be in the same place
as the previous home.
Cousineau asked if the home would be the same size.
Beuhler stated that he was unsure but noted that the home would be smaller than the
3,000 square feet occupied by the three previous buildings on the site.
Martin clarified that 3,000 square feet of foundation is not the same as a 3,000 square
foot home as a 3,000 square foot foundation often creates a home much larger in size
because of the multiple levels and garage.
Mitchell stated that because Beuhler does not own oulot A, what authority would the City
have to assign that as an outlot.
Batty explained that both property owners were required to sign the application and plat.
He stated that the language states that the outlot is not currently a buildable lot.
Mitchell asked for identification of the drainage easement.
Finke identified the easement, which is extensive and covers a large portion of the
outlot.
Mitchell provided another example that occurred in the City, where the City considered
the lot to be one and the County considered the lot to be two parcels.
Batty stated that this case has a lot of messy history and the County accepted deeds
that it should not have accepted. He noted that he and Finke had spoken about this
parcel multiple times over the years and this may be the best method to resolve a messy
situation. He was not worried about setting precedent.
Anderson stated that it is rare for government to have a chance to clean up errors of the
past and therefore would support the variance request.
Cousineau agreed that she did not see a reason to punish the current property owner for
the mistakes of past owners.

deck would still be 30 feet from the driving surface of the roadway. He reviewed the
criteria for considering a variance request and noted that findings of fact were included in
the staff report. He stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the request and
endorsed the findings of fact, recommending approval of the request at their meeting last
month. He stated that the applicant has taken measures to reduce the amount of
hardcover on the property in anticipation for the deck expansion.
Brian Etzel, 2942 Lakeshore Avenue, stated that he is present to answer any questions.
He stated that his existing deck needs a new face and he would like to wrap the deck
around to take advantage of the lake view. He stated that there are trees he has planted
around the boundary of his property over the years and therefore did not see that there
would be any impact aesthetically.
Mitchell opened the public hearing at 8:38 p.m.
No comments made.
Mitchell closed the public hearing at 8:38 p.m.
Cousineau asked and received confirmation that the new deck would not be any closer
than the existing deck to Balsam Street.
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Pederson, to direct staff to prepare a resolution
approving the variance based upon the findings noted in the staff report and subject to
conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion passed unanimously.
C. Comprehensive Plan Timelines (8:39 p.m.)
Finke stated that staff is seeking direction related to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
update process. He stated that the Met Council is about to release system statements
to the metro cities which will require that the decennial updates of the cities be submitted
by 2018. He stated through discussions on the staging and growth plans the previous
year there was direction that staff aggressively pursue updates once the system
statements are available. He stated that staff has proposed an aggressive schedule
which would make the draft version of the updated Comprehensive Plan for comment in
one year. He stated that the expedited process means that the City needs to be
strategic on the opportunities for public comment and review, noting that additional
public meetings can be added but that would delay the schedule. He stated that staff
intends to work with the planning wing of WSB regarding public participation aspects.
He stated that staff will also focus on online public participation, noting that WSB will be
able to provide input and assistance in that area and can solicit better input through that
type of participation. He stated that staff also recommends a Steering Committee that
can provide additional assistance.
Mitchell stated that there was so much work done last year and the thought process was
to build upon that momentum.
Martin referenced the detailed schedule and asked for clarification.
Finke noted that is the online portal that would be used for online public participation.
He stated that the content and delivery method would be flexible.
