Motion declared carried 3. POLICE DEPARTMENT Dog Impoundment Rick Rabenort reported that he had researched several alternatives for handling impounded dogs after March of 1991, when Corcoran Pet Care discontinues accepting dogs impounded by cities. He explained that the city has several options available, including, joining with Northwest Animal Control to build a facility. The cost to Medina would be $13,000 plus $3000 per year. Other options are contracting with Linda Kadlac who is trying to establish a facility in Corcoran. The cost for her services would be from $125-$175 per month. Also the City of Bloomington has a facility which would cost $8.00 per day for boarding, with the only difficulty being the distance from Medina to the facility. Stephen Schmit asked how many dogs are handled by Medina in a year and are any of the fees charged back to the owners. Rick Rabenort stated that the city would need to charge enough to cover the expenses and he relieved that Medina handled about 30 dogs in 1989. Anne Theis stated that some of the alternatives are very expensive based on the number of dogs impounded in the city each year. Thomas Anderson suggested discussing the options with Linda Kadlac and the City of Bloom imfton. Moved by Theis, seconded by Scherer to contact the northwest group and tell them Medina is not interested in participating in their program and to table the matter for the time being pending further information. Motion declared carried 4. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Medina Morningside Skating Rink Jim Dillman explained that two letters had been received from Medina Morningside resident expressing having two skating rinks in Medina Morningside, one for recreational skating and one for hockey. He stated that a hockey rink requires a great deal of maintenance and he did not know if the residents were interested in helping to maintain the rinks as the Independence Beach residents help to maintain the rink in their area. Two residents from Medina Morningside did not know how much help would be gotten from the residents. Robert Mitchell arrived at 7:45 F.M. Stephen Schmit stated that he favored a small recreational rink and not a hockey rink, at this time, as there are rinks at Orono school and in Long Lake for hockey. Anne Theis asked how much expense was involved in constructing a hockey rink. Jim Dillman explained that the board would cost about $5000 and would need to be put up in the fall and taken down in the spring. Wilfred Scherer agreed that a small recreational rink should be tried the first year. Moved by Schmit, seconded by Theis to build an oval shaped skating rink at the Medina Morningside park. Motion declared carried Thomas Anderson asked that the Park Commission look into having a hockey rink in the area sometime in the future. 105 Maple Street Park Jim Dillman explained that it would cost about $20,000 to construct a playground, picnic area, parking lot and small ballfield in the Maple Street area. This price would not include any equipment; also the parking area would be sufficient for about 20 cars. Anne Theis reported that some residents are opposed to looking at a parking lot and asked if anyone thought it would be used by snowmobilers in the winter. Jim Dillman stated that it would not be plowed in the winter. He stated that he had gotten two quotes, one from John Schoening and one from Wally Etzel. Anne Theis asked if the watershed districts run-off protection suggestions would be followed. JIm Dillman stated that they would take all necessary steps to protect the creek. Moved by Anderson, seconded by Theis to authorize expenditure of $20,000 to grade the Maple Street park area using the appropriate erosion control methods and to seed the area this fall. Motion declared carried 5. HOLY NAME SCHOOL Ellen Olson, principal of Holy Name School,reported on a program that she is working on to coordinate Holy Name School and the City of Medina with a school in Moscow. She stated that letters will be exchanged, tapes and videos will be shared and eventually she would like to have a student exchange.

PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Kenneth Belgarde, Subdivision Moved by Scherer, seconded by Theis to table the Belgarde subdivision application, at the request of the applicant. Motion declared carried Dennis Hedtke, Conditional Use Permit Loren Kohnen reviewed his memo regarding the application made by Dennis Hedtke to construct a two story addition, 84 ft by 142 ft., onto their existing building at 3522 Sioux Dr. He stated that the building would be used by several businesses, owned by Dennis Hedtke and Jim Hedtke. He reported that the Planning Commission had recommended approval with a number of conditions, among them, provision of an easement from Sioux Dr. to the east to serve the Dykhoff property. He stated that since the Planning Commission meeting some research had been done and the State Hi kiway department has said that the Dykhoff property has an access from Hwy. 55, which cannot be taken away by the state. Jeff Pederson, Planning Commission meer, stated that the commission had teen given some incorrect information by one of their umbers regarding the access that the Dykhoff's now have onto Hwy. 55. Thomas Anderson asked about the pond shown across the Dykhoff/ Hedtke property line. Dennis Hedtke stated that he had talked to Don Dykhoff and if they did not agree to a pond across the property line he would construct one on their own property and Dykhoff's could do likewise when their property is developed. Glenn Cook stated that the elevation of the Hedtke pond should not be raised if constructed entirely on their own property. Moved by Scherer, seconded by Theis to authorize preparation of a resolution granting a Conditional Use Permit to Dennis Hedtke to construct an office/warehouse/manufacturing addition to their building at 3522 Sioux Dr., according to Planning Commission recommend- ations and without the easement requirement to serve the Dykhoff property. Motion declared carried Joseph Pastorek, Conditional Use Permit Loren Kohnen explained that Joseph Pastorek had made application to construct a 60 ft. by 80 ft. office/warehouse at 770 Tower Dr. He stated that the Planning Commission had recommended approval with a number of conditions including a 9 ton parking lot because garbage trucks would be driven and parked in that area. Robert Mitchell stated that no outside storage should be allowed. Loren Kohnen stated that the purpose of the building was for truck parking and that they intended to park everything inside. Moved by Anderson, seconded by Theis to authorize preparation of a resolution granting a Conditional Use Permit to Joseph Pastorek to construct an office/warehouse at 770 Tower Dr. according to Planning Commission recommendations plus the requirement that no trucks shall be parked outside of the building. Motion declared carried Clyde Libby, Subdivision, 8:30 P.M. Wilfred Scherer was absent for this portion of the meeting. Loren Kohnen explained that Clyde Libby owned three lots; Lot 2 with a house that was sold several months ago and Lots 1 and 3 that he wished to combine and sell as one building site. He reported that there are very poor soils on all three parcels and that in other instances owners have had to combine parcels and sell them as one site. Clyde Libby stated that the issue is not the lot with the house because that has been sold. Robert Mitchell stated that the lot with the house has the poorest soil and the city should protect that owner if no good septic system soil exists on the parcel. Loren Kohnen stated that if all else fails the lot with the house might be forced to use holding tanks. Clyde Libby explained that when he had attended a Board of Review meeting some years ago the county and city council had told him he had two buildable sites. Robert Mitchell stated that the Board of Review does not have facts about soil conditions of properties. Anne Theis stated that she would be willing to reconsider if documentation regarding build - ability of the lot could be presented. Jo Haislet, Realtor, stated that a house was allowed to be built on a very small lot on Co. Rd. 24. Loren Kohnen stated that was the only property that was owned by the builder. Ron Batty explained that a permit must be granted if property is under separate ownership, but if in common ownership, a permit does not have to be granted. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Anderson to authorize preparation of a resolution denying subdivision of the Clyde Libby property as it does not meet soil requirements for a septic system. Jo Haislet stated that she had brought to the city a soils map of the property and a letter which explained a primary and secondary septic system site. Councilmembers stated that they had not seen the letter. Robert Mitchell stated that one issue is the question of fill on the lot with the house, which means that there is not an alternate septic system site. Moved by Schmit, seconded by Mitchell to table the matter for two weeks to allow council time to read the letter from Mark Gronberg regarding the soil conditions and for the applicant to verify some of the information in the letter.. Motion declared carried Twinco, 9:00 P.M. Robert Mitchell asked for an explanation of the screening that will be provided on the Twinco site for the parking area and the truck parking lot. Loren Kohnen explained what they intended to do for screening and indicated it on the site plan.

Motion declared carried 10. HUNTER FARMS PARK Thomas Anderson reported that Ross Gronfield is still working on the Hunter Farms park issue and had told him they they still want the bridge constructed across the ravine to connect the two sections of the park. He stated that it would cost $20,000 for the bridge with one fourth of the cost being paid by the neighborhood; a request to the Hamel Lions Club for one fourth and one half to be requested from the cities park fund. He stated that the matter should be tabled until the September 18th meeting. Moved by Theis, seconded by Scherer to table the Hunter Farms Park matter until September 18. Motion declared carried 11. HAZARDOUS BUILDING AT 2835 ARDMORE AVE. Donna Roehl reported that the property at 2835 Ardmore Ave had been listed with a realtor as one parcel that can be subdivided and with the requirement that the house be removed. She stated that she had spoken to the owner who had asked if there was an city financial assist- ance that could be gotten to remove the building and she was given the information that Ron Batty had given; that is, if the city adopted the hazardous building resolution and had the house removed,it could be assessed against the property, and later paid off when the parcel was sold. She stated that the owner agreed with that plan. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to adopt resolution 90-59, ordering abatement of hazard- ous building at 2835 Ardmore Ave. and to work with the owner to have the building removed.

WOODLAKE LANDFILL Stephen schmit stated that he had visited the landfill site a second time and no work had been done to correct the site that had been worked on for ash disposal. Ron Batty explained that the city is discussing the methane collection issue along with other matter. He reported that one of the reasons the ash area was not properly graded was that the county was no longer interested in the type I area last fall but everyone believed that they would continue with the Type II application, which, of course, never materialized. Loren Kohnen stated they he had sent a letter to BFI telling them proper closure was to be completed by October 30th. Robert Mitchell stated that would be to late for the city to do the work if they did not get it done so the completion date should be changed to September 30, 1990. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Schmit to notify Woodlake Landfill to properly close the Type I ash area of the landfill by September 30, 1990 and if not completed by that date the city will commence to do the work and draw on the letter of credit.

He stated that Mr. Doerr would benefit from the property because the city would have to run a water line to the property so he asked if Mr. Doerr should be asked to donate the land needed for the well.
