3. Comments from Residents in Attendance on Items Not on the Agenda
Dick Picard of 2765 County Road 19 said that he was here today representing the Lake
Independence Citizens Association (LICA). He read a letter addressed to Mary Johnson and to
John Ferris, the Mayors of the Cities of Independence and Medina, concerning the cutting of
weeds at Lake Independence. He said this year the weeds were cut only one time. LICA
expressed concern about this limited amount of cutting to the County. The County was okay
with permanently placing a mechanical harvester at Lake Independence at no cost to the Cities.
However, they would like a letter from the Cities requesting the mechanical harvester.
Mr. Picard said he was requesting this evening Council support for the placement of a
mechanical harvester at Lake Independence.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by John Hamilton, to support the use of a mechanical
harvester, provided by the Hennepin County Park Board, at Lake Independence. Motion
passed unanimously.
5. Park Commission Comments
There were none.

7. Consider the Recommendations from the Planning Commission on the 2000-2020
Comprehensive Plan
Mayor Ferris said he would go through the recommendations as listed in the memo from the
Planning Commission.
Item 1: recommended changing the guiding of six homes on Hamel Road from Urban
Residential to Uptown Hamel.
Jim Johnson asked what this area was currently zoned.
Loren Kohnen said they are currently zoned Urban Commercial. He said this change occurred
during the 1992 Comprehensive Plan. There was some discussion about the current guiding.
Kohnen said the residents of this area presented a petition requesting inclusion in the Uptown
Hamel area guiding. This zoning would give them the flexibility of developing commercially or
residentially.
A poll of the Council indicated that all Council members were in favor of this change.
Item 2: involved changing the property south of Foxberry Farms from the Urban Commercial
guiding to Urban Commercial 1.
Phil Zietlow asked if there were any applicable legal issues since there was already a
development proposal in process for this property.
Ron Batty said there are no vested rights in zoning or Comprehensive Plan designations unless
construction has been started or a building permit has been issued. Therefore, it would be
possible to change the guiding of this property if the City Council so desired.
Phil Zietlow said there is an option where the City Council could leave out a piece of the
property and zone that Urban Commercial and leave the remainder of the property Urban
Commercial 1.
Jim Johnson raised a number of concerns about the buffering between the residential areas and
the commercial areas. He thought for example that Chippewa Road provided a good buffer
between the commercial and the residential area, however, there seemed to be no adequate
buffer on the porperty south of Foxberry Farms. He said in other cities they use a multi -family or
townhome land use as a buffer between commercial and residential uses. When Lundgren
proposed development on this property they proposed a lower profile office complex. He was
not sure how the new zoning district UC1 would create a better buffer or better land use
between these two zones. He was concerned that the Urban Commercial 1, campus style
development, may not include low enough profile buildings. He said that townhomes may
provide a better buffer. He said that the Urban Commercial 1 area definitely needs more
definition. He suggested that several zoning districts may be needed within the Urban
Commercial 1 guiding, like an Urban Commercial 2 which would provide for lower profile
buildings up against a Urban Residential zone. He said he was looking for a little bit more
complex zoning and potentially additional guiding that would show a better buffer between
residential and commercial uses.

Linda Fisher, 1500 N.W. Court, said she prepared a memo concerning the history of the Rolling
Green Business Park proposal, the property which the City Council is considering changing
from Urban Commercial to Urban Commercial 1. She called her memo the Odyssey of a
property owner in the City of Medina. She said she had been before the Council at several
other meetings. Fisher said on behalf of the property owner she would like to register her
righteous indignation for how the process has treated him. She said that residents are
important to the City and that the City Council should listen to the residents. However, property
owners are also a stakeholders in the City and are also important. She said this developer has
followed the rules of the City, has met with City Staff on many occasions, has also met with
Council members, and has followed all of the City's rules and processes up to this point.
She said the property in question includes 40 acres of land north of Highway 55 and west of
County Road 116. She said in 1990 the Medina Comprehensive Plan designated the property
in question for industrial use. This was nine years before Rolling Green purchased the property.
The 1992 Comprehensive Plan designated the property for sewered commercial/industrial
development. In 1992, Foxberry Farms development was approved. Urban Industrial/Urban
Commercial guiding for the Rolling Green property preceded the development of Foxberry
Farms and was considered appropriate as indicated in the September 25, 1992 Planning
Commission meeting minutes. In August 1997 the City began discussions on an update of the
Comprehensive Plan. On January 17, 1998 and February 7, 1998, the Planning Commission
held meetings with Foxberry Farms residents to discuss the guiding of the northern portion of
the property in question. At that time there was a recommendation to change the northern
portion to multi -family use as a buffer between the single family and commercial areas.
Many residents at that meeting requested that it be left in Urban Commercial/industrial guiding.
In June 1998 the City Council approved the rezoning of a rural commercial lot to Urban
Commercial/Urban Industrial for the plat immediately south of this property. This plat included a
50,000 square foot light industrial facility known as Flagship Technologies. At that time the
record did not indicate that light industrial use was inconsistent with the land use vision for the
area. March 3, 1999, Rolling Green Business Park held an initial meeting with City Staff and
one City Council member and at no time during this meeting were Rolling Green Partners told
that the development concept was inconsistent with the vision of the City or the City's
Comprehensive Plan update. The City advised Rolling Green that it would need to apply for
rezoning from Rural Residential to Urban Commercial, subdivision, and conditional use permit
for the 111,504 square foot facility. May 20, 1999 Rolling Green Business Park held a second
meeting with City Staff to discuss soil conditions, Meander Road, water quality treatment ponds,
and a number of other planning details. At no time were they advised that this project was
inconsistent with the vision for the City of Medina or the ongoing Comprehensive Plan.
June 4, 1999, Rolling Green applied for rezoning, subdivision, and conditional use permit
approvals pursuant to the direction received on March 1999 at the May 1999 meetings. July 13,
1999, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Rolling Green application. A
number of residents testified in opposition of the application, however, the Planning Commission
voted unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning and subdivision, but denied the
conditional use permit based on inadequate screening and a building that was too big for the
buildable area of the land. In the record there were no major concerns concerning the rezoning.
July 30, 1999, the City's planning and zoning administrator prepared a memo to the City Council
advising the City Council of the Planning Commission's July 13, 1999 recommendation. In that
memo the zoning administrator stated that the application met all requirements of the City's
ordinances and exceeded them in certain areas. He said the City does not have an ordinance
regarding building area to building lot area. August 3, 1999 Foxberry Farms residents and
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1999

others submitted an EAW petition to the City. September 7, 1999 Medina City Council denied
the EAW petition since the project would not have the potential for significant environmental
effects. At this meeting the City Council referred to the Planning Commission August 24th
meeting on the Comprehensive Plan and on the possibility of a moratorium on commercial
development.
Prior to September 7th Rolling Green had been told its application would be considered at the
September 21st meeting if the EAW was denied.
Based on the Planning Commission public hearing, Rolling Green submitted a revised site plan
for consideration by the City Council at the September 21 st meeting. The revised plan included
taller earthen berms and additional evergreen trees which would substantially screen the
loading dock area from Foxberry Farms.
On September 10, 1999 Rolling Green representatives received a call from City Staff indicating
that Rolling Green's pending application would not be heard on September 21st but would be
continued to October 5, 1999 to allow the City to consider its Comprehensive Plan update.
September 14, 1999 Rolling Green submits a proposal to the Planning Commission for a land
use guiding based on a review of the minutes and discussion from the August 24th Planning
Commission meeting. The proposal opposed a moratorium on development that would apply to
its pending application. Staff advises Rolling Green that its application is the only application
that would potentially be affected by the moratorium. On September 15, 1999, Rolling Green
submitted a letter to the City objecting to the continuance of its pending application.
Fisher said they have come very far down the road on the development of this property. She
summarized some of the reasons why this development should go forward.
She said everybody would like to have control over everything. She said we need to learn to
live together. She said a 400 to 1,000 foot buffer is unrealistic, as is a criteria that buildings not
be visible from another district. She said if the City continues to consider such regulations you
will end up purchasing a considerable amount of property. She said property owners are also
stakeholders and also need to be considered. We do not think that what we say tonight will
make a difference. She said if the City Council was willing to discuss their recommendations for
changes and seek a compromise on the zoning and the development of the property, they are
interested in hearing it.
Kirt Woodhouse, Rolling Green Partner, said when he came into town he invested a great deal
of money to create this development. Before he did this he checked the City's Comprehensive
Plan, guide plan, and met with Staff. No one raised a red flag about this development
throughout the entire process. He said he received nothing but green lights. We did not need
or ask for any variances and have moved forward through the application and approval process
as any developer would. He asked if any of the Council members or Staff would have done any
differently based on his experience.
Woodhouse said he followed the City's processes. If he had known six months ago that the City
was considering these changes, he would not have gone forward with it. However, now he is
stuck, he purchased the property and is trying to come up with a solution that is fair. He said he
just wants to get out of this process with his skin. He said he cannot change the topography.
Foxberry Farms is higher than this property. They will always be able to see what is developed
on this property. He said he does not want to lose his shirt because he followed the rules.

Kristin Johnson, 905 Foxberry Farms Road, said that she feels for the developer and was sorry
that he may have been misled. However, this particular development does not fit the vision of
the City. She said it is not the City's fault that he did not purchase the property with the
condition that the rezoning of the property be approved. She said Mr. Woodhouse is a
professional developer and knew that he could have made his purchased of the property
contingent upon it being rezoned. He decided to take the risk. Kristin Johnson read portions of
the Comprehensive Plan that highlighted the incongruities between this proposal and the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
Johnson said in July the Planning Commission voted to approve the rezoning. However, at that
meeting the Planning Commission raised several concerns about the rezoning that were not
reflected in the minutes. She said the draft of the Comprehensive Plan that is being developed
should not be ignored. At that meeting they did ignore the Comprehensive Plan because they
were looking at the rezoning request as it related to the current Comprehensive Plan. However,
tonight, the City Council is looking at an update of the Comprehensive Plan and should not
consider this development when considering the guiding this property. You should consider
your vision for the City.
Johnson said at the August 24'h Council meeting residents tried to work with the developer to
change the way the bui►ding looked, the way it was buffered, and a number of other
suggestions. At that time the developer said these changes were unfair and would not be
possible. Now that there is significant opposition, all of a sudden the developer has included
these changes. She said at this point it seems too late to accept this compromise. She said it
is unfortunate that they have come this far, however, the City Staff does not talk for the City
Council. She said this is not just a visual issue, there are a lot of other issues such as traffic
and noise. She said the Flagship building is not comparable to this particular proposal. She
said the residents are frustrated with Woodhouse, he has not been willing to work with the
residents, and he is not going to have to live next this building as we are.
Jim Johnson asked if there were any other options. He said that he was also concerned for the
developer.
There was some discussion about the Woodhouse proposal.
John Ferris said currently the item under discussion is whether or not to accept the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to change the guiding on this property from Urban
Commercial to Urban Commercial 1 (UC1).
Jim Johnson said we may need more zones than the UC1
Carolyn Smith said it is not necessarily a question of more zones, we may need to add
additional restrictions to the current Urban Commercial zone and to the Urban Commercial 1
zone to require the needed buffering.
John Ferris said it is potentially okay to have more zones. Either way there will be a lot of work
involved in crafting of the zoning ordinances that will implement the City's guide plan. The
question now is whether or not to guide all this property to UC1.

Dave Klaiman, 950 Sunset Court, said it seems like the rules are changing. He said that
Medina's codes already changed in 1997 when they added a provision that prohibited
objectionable effects from such property. Clearly this development proposal has that.
John Ferris said these points are well taken, however, the question currently is whether or not to
change the guiding from what was proposed to Urban Commercial 1.
Linda Fisher said that the Medina code has changed, however, what changed was not the
zoning ordinance but an issue related to the nuisance ordinance.
Ferris asked what the direction of the Council was on this issue.
Four members of the Council agreed to change it from Urban Commercial to Urban Commercial
1. Jim Johnson was not in favor of this change.
John Ferris asked why Jim Johnson was not in favor of this change.
Jim Johnson said that unlike other City Councils, this City Council has always been concerned
for all parties involved, residents and developers. We have always tried to come up with a
solution that makes everybody happy. He said the developer has changed his plan to try to
accommodate some of the concerns of the residents and he thinks that may need considering.
He also is not sure about what the UC1 definition involves, he thought it might need more
clarification as a part of the Comprehensive Plan before it is approved.
Item 3: was an issue concerning the City's trails. There was some discussion about the City
trails. Paul Robinson said that the City did not show all of the trails as shown in the Northwest
League of Municipalities trail map. He said that one of the trails not shown ran along Holy
Name Drive. He said the Park Commission removed this trail a while ago because the road
was too narrow. They moved the trail over to Tamarack. The other trail was one that was
extended west of Hamel Road to Camp lduhapi. Robinson said to date he has not had any
clarification on if this is still in the plans. Because of this it has not been added.
At this time the City Council directed Staff to go ahead and make the changes they had
information on and to leave Hamel Road trail off the map for the time being.
Item 4: was a concern about the safety of the intersection of Trunk Highway 55 and Willow Drive
and a request for a signal at that intersection.
John Ferris said the signal is already shown in the Comprehensive Plan for 2002.
Item 5: was a request for sewer service along Shawnee Woods Road. During the work session
with the Planning Commission and the City Council, residents of Shawnee Woods submitted a
petition requesting that their road be guided for sewer service. They would like the guiding to
reflect a suburban residential zone in order to offset the cost of the assessment. At this time the
City Council was okay with adding this to a watch area that may need to be sewered in the
future, but was not in favor in guiding this area as suburban residential at this time.
Item 6: two pieces of property owned by Elizabeth Sedgwick and Ken Bechler along Arrowhead
Drive. There was some discussion about this issue being interrelated with the guiding of the
neighboring piece of property. Elizabeth Sedgwick said that depending on what occurs with the
neighboring piece of property, they would like their piece of property to reflect that. At this time,
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1999
161
if the recommendation went forward for a Rural Residential guiding, they would be okay with
guiding both of their properties Rural Residential.
Item 7: concept road extending from Cheyenne Trail. There was some discussion on this issue.
Robinson said the recommendation of the Planning Commission was that there be no change.
Phil Zietlow said that this had been guided in the Comprehensive Plan for quite some time.
All Council members were in favor of leaving the Cheyenne Trail concept road.
Item 8: adding the Department of Natural Resources biological survey to the woodland map.
All were in favor.
Item 9: it was recommended that an appendix be added that help those considering a choice
between green acres and agricultural preserve, recognizing the City does not have control over
green acres.
All were in favor.
Item 10: issue concerning the maintenance and upkeep of City trails. The Planning
Commission recommended leaving this specific issue out of the Comprehensive Plan. The
Council agreed.
Item 11: extending sewer further south and east of Hunter and west of Brockton Lane. After
some discussion on this issue, the Council decided to use Navajo Road as a barrier between
the two districts. They wanted the sewer line to continue to follow along Navajo Road.
Item 12A: request from Joe and Bill Cavanaugh to have three properties, two owned by Richard
Cavanaugh and one by Joe Cavanaugh to be guided Rural Residential.
Bill Cavanaugh said that he would like the top half of the property to be guided Rural
Residential. The recommendation from the Planning Commission was to keep this parcel
guided Urban Commercial 1. They said that it has been guided industrial for quite some time.
Loren Kohnen reiterated that from Staff's point of view, they would rather keep this property
guided Urban Commercial 1.
Jerry Jubert, owner of the property of the east of the Cavanaugh property, said that they just
completed constructing a berm on the northern part of their property with the idea that there will
be commercial development on this property in the future. He said it sounds like the Urban
Commercial 1 zone will require a large buffer between the commercial and residential zones. If
this is true having to border residential property on two sides would create a large area that they
could not develop. If Mr. Cavanaugh wants to create the entire buffer on his property, then he
would be okay with this change, otherwise he would have as strenuous as an objection to
changing the guiding on this property.
Mr. Cavanaugh said that he did not want to worry about the buffer. He said he did not need any
buffer on his property. Mr. Cavanaugh said that putting commercial that deep into the property
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1999
162
did not seem to make sense as it is hard to market and build commercial property that is that far
off of the highway. He said it makes more sense to have it in a Rural Residential zoning.
Reg Pederson said he would like Mr. Cavanaugh's property left guided as Urban Commercial 1.
He said if this were to change to Rural Residential, that would create Rural Residential property
on two sides of his property and would make it nearly impossible for him to develop his property
in the Urban Commercial 1 area, especially if he is required to create a large buffer.
Four Council members were in favor of changing this into Urban Commercial 1. Jim Johnson
was opposed.
John Ferris asked why Jim Johnson did not want to approve the Urban Commercial 1 zoning for
this property.
Jim Johnson said that he was surprised at the amount of property that was guided for Urban
Commercial development. He said the City keeps eating away at its Rural Residential areas
that he was not in favor of that. He thought it would be better to divide the commercial area
along the frontage road with the property north of the frontage road Rural Residential and south
Urban Commercial.
Carolyn Smith said this property has always been guided for industrial development. She said
the Urban Commercial 1 development is not a significant change from the previous guiding.
Jim Johnson said he thought we were for no growth. He was in favor of less development.
Item 12B: was a request from Bill Cavanaugh to have three properties split between Rural
Residential and Urban Commercial 1. Bill Cavanaugh said they had revised their request from
the last Planning Commission meeting. He showed where they wanted the line drawn. City
Staff was to evaluate this line and draw it in a format for approval.
There was some discussion on the City Council about the line. All were in favor of splitting the
property between Rural Residential and Urban Commercial, citing it would create a better buffer
between the Rural Residential and Urban Commercial zones and would line up with the request
from the two properties to the east to be guided Rural Residential.
Item 13: was to show the potential realignment of County Road 19.
Paul Robinson said that the Planning Commission and Staff had thought this realignment was
shown in county plans. He said it was not. He said the actual recommendation from the
Planning Commission was to be consistent with Hennepin County's plan.
Since it was not shown on Hennepin County's plan, the City Council recommended not to make
any changes to the transportation plan at this time.
Item 14: show a buffer between residential districts and commercial.
Paul Robinson said there was an overall policy in the land use section of the Comprehensive
Plan that stated that all residential areas be buffered from commercial areas. Part of the
conversation at the Planning Commission level was that the responsibility of those buffers be
shared by both districts.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1999
163
Ron Batty said that may lead into the recommendation to hire a professional planner. Maybe
the City Council could hire a professional planner to talk about what some of those buffers may
be. He said Bill Thibault from Thibault and Associates had reviewed the Comprehensive Plan.
Batty said he may be able to lend some insight about the different types of buffers that may be
available.
John Ferris said there was a recommendation from the Planning Commission to hire a planning
consultant. John Ferris and the Council agreed this would be a good idea. Staff was directed to
put together options and information for the next Council meeting on this issue.
The next item was whether or not to set up a committee for developing different zoning districts.
There was some discussion on this. Overall the City Council thought it would be a good idea
and directed Staff to put additional information together on this issues as well.
Moved by Phil Zietlow, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to table the approval of the Comprehensive
Plan until the October 5, 1999 as well as consideration of a moratorium. Motion passed
unanimously.
8. Table Items 3, 4, and 5 Relating to the Rolling Green Business Park
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by John Hamilton, to table the above items. Motion
passed unanimously.
Dave Klaiman, 950 Sunset Court, requested clarification on whether or not the City Council was
going to address a moratorium on the Urban Commercial/Urban Commercial 1 property in the
City.
John Ferris said that would be considered at the next meeting.
Ron Batty said that on the next agenda, October 5, all items that were tabled would be back on
the agenda.
9. $5,000 to Complete the Trail on County Road 116
Moved by Carolyn Smith, seconded by Jim Johnson, to approve $5,000 to complete the trail.
Motion passed unanimously.
There was discussion about upkeep of the City trails.
Jim Johnson wanted to know if the City was going to do that.
John Hamilton suggested that the City create an "adopt a trail" program where people or
neighbors would maintain portions of the trail.
There was some discussion about winter maintenance.
Jim Dillman said that the City will not be conducting snow removal on any trails unless residents
want to do the snow removal on their own.
10. Extension of Prairie Drive
Jim Dillman said he needed Council approval to start the process for extending Prairie Drive.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1999
164
Ron Batty asked if this was to trigger a two year time line by which they would work to extend
Prairie Drive.
Jim Diliman said yes, that is true.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to approve the extension of the frontage
Road, Prairie Drive. Motion passed unanimously.
11. Consumer Confidence Report
Jim Dillman said that a copy of the consumer confidence report was included in the packet.
Carolyn Smith said that she had some ideas for formatting to spruce up the report a little bit.
She handed these to Jim Dillman.
All thought it was a good report.
Jim Dillman said they created this report to fulfill a reporting requirement.
12. Railroad Crossings
Paul Robinson said the Soo Line Railroad (D/B/A Canadian Pacific Railroad) wanted to install a
signal light and arms at two railroad crossings. One at Trunk Highway 55 and Willow Drive, and
the other on Townline Road by Loretto. He said that the City's participation in the cost is 10%,
however, when putting together the resolution he realized that the intersection at Townline Road
was shared between the City of Independence and Medina. He said typically the railroad bills
the city that maintain the roadway and then the responsible city bills the other city for half.
Robinson said Jim Dillman spoke with the public works director of Independence and he spoke
with the City Clerk of Independence. They were okay with paying the 5% of the cost, however,
they had already completed their budgeting process for the year 2000 and would not be able to
pay until 2001.
Robinson said that from Staff's point of view that would be okay if it was okay with the City
Council.
Consensus with the Council was to go ahead and bill Independence in 2001.
Kristen Johnson asked how intersections get approved. She said that there was significant
problems at the intersection at 116 and Pinto and asked if that intersection was scheduled to be
improved.
Jim Dillman said that it was, however, it was delayed because of some issues with construction
and improvement of the TH 55 and CR 116 intersection. Therefore, it has been postponed for
the time being.
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded Phil Zietlow, to approve Resolution 99-54 & 99-55
authorizing the City to enter into an agreement with the railroad to pay 10% of the cost of the
signalization. Motion passed unanimously.

13. Resolution 99-56 Authorizing the Police Chief to Enter Into an Agreement with
Hennepin County for the Safe and Sober Program for 1999-2000
Moved by John Hamilton, seconded by Jim Johnson, to approve the Resolution 99-56. Motion
passed unanimously.
14, Pay the Bills
Moved by Jim Johnson, seconded by Carolyn Smith, to approve the bills, order check numbers
20129-20187 for $126, 300.09, and payroll check numbers 16261-16274 for $15, 624.04.
Motion passed unanimously.
There was a question about repair to a squad car. Belland said it was for repair due to a run in
with a deer. There were also questions about the City's imprest fund and petty cash funds.
Robinson said that the imprest fund is $2,000 checking account by which the City clerk can
write checks for small amounts. He said there is also a small petty cash fund for the police
department.
Break from 9:20-9:30.

the regular meeting at 10:12 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
25. Adjournment
