Minnehaha Creek Watershed District -- Land Alteration Permit and CUP City Attorney Ron Batty introduced a resolution denying a land alteration permit and a conditional use permit to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and explained the background of the matter. Batty said that the city had been reviewing an application from the MCWD which involved the excavation of a pond in a non-public waters wetlands and the removal of a large quantity of fill from the site. While reviewing the matter, the city staff had come to the conclusion that Medina's present ordinances were inadequate to regulate the application. Batty said the city council had adopted an interim ordinance on October 3, 1995 which imposed a moratorium on creating ponds larger than 1 acre in non-public waters wetlands or the removal of more than 10,000 cubic yards of material from the site. The ordinance required a study of the city's current ordinances and authorized staff and city consultants to draft amendments to existing ordinances or new ordinances as needed. The matter had been scheduled for consideration by the planning commission on October 10, 1995. As a result of the interim ordinance, the planning commission did not conduct a public hearing on the matter but did make a finding that the interim ordinance blocked the MCWD's application. The finding was based on the recommendation of the city engineer and zoning administrator. Batty reminded the council that tonight's meeting was not a public hearing and suggested that a discussion of the substance of the application was premature in light of the interim ordinance. MOVED BY FERRIS, SECONDED BY JOHNSON, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 95- 54, "RESOLUTION DENYING A LAND ALTERATION PERMIT AND A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO THE MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT." AYES: FERRIS, JOHNSON, THIES, AND ZIETLOW. NAYS: NONE. RESOLUTION NO. 95-54 ADOPTED ON A 4-AYE AND 0-NAY VOTE. 6. Update of Bill Nunn Fill Activity Loren Kohnen said Bill Nunn had been doing some grading and it appeared that the final grade would be completed very soon. 170 7. Elm Creek Interceptor Jim Dillman said he and Loren Kohnen met with city engineers Shawn Gustafson and Glenn Cook to talk about the Elm Creek Interceptor and its potential impact on Medina. Dillman said it was important for Medina to determine what its sewer capacity needs would be in the future. He said city staff would meet with Plymouth to talk about sewer capacity. Dillman said staff also met with a Met Council representative to talk about the Metropolitan Council's draft proposal for a housing agreement with the city pursuant to the Elm Creek cluster planning project. Dillman said there was a conflict between the objectives outlined in the housing agreement and Medina's comprehensive plan. The main objective of the housing agreement would be to increase the availability of affordable and life -cycle housing in Medina. Ron Batty said that according to the agreement, 69 percent of all new housing within the MUSA should be valued at or below $115,000 in 1994 dollars. The ultimate goal would be for Medina to achieve an average multi -family density of at least 10 units per acre for new multi -family development in the city between 1996 and 2010. John Ferris remarked that the objectives were not realistic for Medina because of high land values. Dillman recommended that the council engage in a special work session after all the necessary information had been compiled. 8. Use of Public Rights -of -Way The council talked briefly about whether Medina should charge utility companies some kind of fee for the use of rights -of -way. One of the principle concerns was the anticipated proliferation of the telecommunications industry and the city's ability to control it. Ann Thies felt that Medina needed to create a level playing field since some companies were charged a fee and others were not. Ron Batty recommended that he draft an ordinance dealing with the use of dedicated right-of-way and city easements in light of legislation being proposed to allow more competition in the telecommunications industry. 9. Sale of Surplus Vehicles and Equipment Sealed bids for the sale of surplus vehicles and equipment were opened on October 12, 1995.

Clarification of October 3 Motion to Freeze Expenditures for Hamel Park Ann Thies reported that there was confusion about the motion that was passed at the October 3, 1995 council meeting which put a 12 month freeze on any money to fund improvements at Hamel Legion Park . Thies said Park Commissioner Tom Anderson expressed the concern that people would not donate money to Hamel Park if there was a perception that the council did not support it. Thies said people thought the freeze included money donated to the park. Thies noted that the freeze applied to funds from park dedication fees and did not include donations designated for Hamel Park. 172 MOVED BY THIES, SECONDED BY FERRIS, TO AMEND THE OCTOBER 3, 1995 MOTION PUTTING A FREEZE ON EXPENDITURES FROM THE PARK FUND, AS FOLLOWS: "MOVED BY JOHNSON, SECONDED BY FERRIS, TO PUT ON A 12 MONTH FREEZE ON PARK FUND EXPENDITURES DERIVED FROM PARK DEDICATION FEES, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE DONATED MONIES DESIGNATED FOR THE HAMEL LEGION PARK."
