MEDINA► SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA MEDINA CITY COUNCIL Wednesday, November 8, 2017 5:00 P.M. Medina City Hall 2052 County Road 24 I. Call to Order II. 2040 Comprehensive Plan — Jurisdictional Comments and Council Review III. Adjourn Posted 11 /3/2017 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Mitchell and Members of the City Council FROM: Dusty Finke, City Planner; through City Administrator Scott Johnson DATE: November 2, 2017 MEETING: November 8, 2017 City Council Worksession SUBJ: 2040 Comprehensive Plan — Jurisdictional Comments and Council Review Background On November 14, 2016, the Steering Committee finalized a draft of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update following a year's worth of public participation, five community meetings, a series of thirteen Steering Committee meetings and a lot of hard work from Committee members. Since that time, the formal review process has continued and additional feedback has been received. The Planning Commission held the formal public hearing on the Update at the December 13, 2016 meeting. The City Council reviewed the draft Update at three meetings. If Council members would like copies of any of these minutes or any of the public feedback previously attached to packets, please let staff know. State law requires that the City provide six months for affected jurisdictions to review and provide comments on the draft Plan Update before it can be submitted for review by the Metropolitan Council. The Update was routed for comments on April 21, 2017 and the six- month timeline has now elapsed. The City received comments from approximately 1/2 of the jurisdictions and also received preliminary comments from the Metropolitan Council. These comments are attached, but staff has also summarized the most significant comments in this report. The Steering Committee met two additional times to review the jurisdictional comments and to finalize their review. Jurisdictional Comments The following jurisdictions responded and stated that they have no comments: 1. City of Maple Grove 2. City of Greenfield 3. Wayzata Schools The following jurisdictions did not provide comments, despite staff reaching out to them: 1. City of Plymouth 2. City of Orono 3. City of Independence 4. City of Maple Plain 5. Three Rivers Park District 6. Orono Schools 7. Rockford Schools 8. Delano Schools 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 1 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession The City has received comments from the following jurisdictions, which are attached. Many of the comments are technical in nature, especially from the watersheds and state agencies. Staff made changes to the infrastructure plans (transportation, wastewater, water supply, and surface water management) to address the comments of the agencies. Staff has summarized the more significant comments which may have policy implications in the next section. 1. Metropolitan Council 2. Hennepin County Transportation 3. City of Corcoran 4. City of Loretto 5. Elm Creek Watershed 6. Pioneer/Sarah-Creek Watershed 7. Minnehaha Creek Watershed 8. Minnesota Department of Transportation The City also received a letter from an attorney representing a Medina property owner asking for their staging to be changed to allow development sooner. This letter is attached as well. Summary of Significant Comments City of Corcoran • Timing of development in northwest portion of Medina. The current draft Land Use Plan identifies that the northwest area of the City north of Loretto as Future Development Area (FDA), which is not planned for development until after 2040. Corcoran urges the City to consider making this area available for development sooner, sometime within the next 20 years. Corcoran notes that the Metropolitan Council is planning significant regional sanitary sewer improvements which would serve this area of Medina as well as property in Corcoran. One of the primary objectives discussed by the Steering Committee during the process of drafting the Update was to protect and preserve open space, rural vistas, and natural resources and to limit expansion of urban services to the amount necessary to accommodate forecasted growth. Staff believes there are opportunities to work with Corcoran on regional and joint sewer improvements if Corcoran desires to develop its southwest area. Medina may be able to share such improvements when and if future development is planned within the FDA during future Comprehensive Plan reviews. The Steering Committee recommended not changing the designation from FDA. • Classification of Hackamore Road/Arrowhead Drive as collector roadway Corcoran requests that Medina consider classifying Hackamore Road/Arrowhead Drive as a local roadway from Old Settlers Road to Bridgewater Road. Hackamore Road/Arrowhead Drive extends between two arterial roadways (Highway 55 and County Road 116) and acts as a collector for various local roadways (Bridgewater Road and Butterworth Lane, as well as Settlers Road, Medina Lake Drive, Foxberry Drive, and Snyder Road further to the east). 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 2 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession While staff recognizes Corcoran's interest in attempting to limit traffic, especially in the current condition of Hackamore Road/Arrowhead Drive, both Medina and Corcoran are planning for development along this roadway and the street will function as a collector between two arterials. Staff does not recommend a change. The Steering Committee recommended leaving the roadway designated as a minor collector. • Trail connections to Corcoran system on Willow Drive and Mohawk Drive Corcoran indicates that it plans for trails along Willow Drive and Mohawk Drive and requests that Medina consider planning for connections between the trail networks of the two cities. Staff recommends adding the connections in the Comprehensive Plan. The City will need to determine when and if it would be appropriate to construct these connections based upon future activity in each city, potential shared costs and grants, and the like. The Steering Committee recommended adding the trail connections as requested. The Park Commission recommended adding the Mohawk connection, but not Willow. City of Loretto • Timing of development in northwest portion of Medina. The City of Loretto, similar to Corcoran, requests that the City consider planning for development in the northwest corner of the City within the next 20 years. This subject is summarized above under the City of Corcoran. Metropolitan Council • Long-term Sewer Service Area The Metropolitan Council identifies the southern 1/3 of Medina in the "Long-term Sewer Service Area (LTSSA) of the Blue Lake treatment plant. The Met Council identifies these areas for potential urban service in future planning processes (potentially sometime after 20 years). During review of the Update, the Steering Committee had expressed an interest in reducing the property within the City which is identified by the Met Council in the LTSSA. The City included only a small area south of Loretto within the LTSSA, and the Met Council comments noted that this is inconsistent with their sanitary sewer system statement. Staff had several discussions with Met Council staff related to the City's interest in reducing the LTSSA. Staff was able to get Met Council staff support to reduce the LTSSA by 865 net acres because the City was shifting 865 acres into the Blue Lake treatment area around the City of Loretto. Staff also added additional language into the Land Use Chapter which would support the City continuing to seek opportunities with the Met Council to further reduce the size of the LTSSA within the City. This language can be found on page 5-11. One additional comment that the Met Council provided related to the LTSSA related to its policy to limit flexibility for conservation development. The Met Council's policy is to not permit density flexibility within the LTSSA beyond 1 unit per 10 gross acres. The Met 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 3 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession Council's comments request the City to recognize this limitation. Staff has suggested adding language to objective 9 on page 5-12. Staff had overlooked this comment and did not discuss with the Steering Committee. This language is in the existing Comprehensive Plan and staffs impression is that the Met Council will not relent on this comment. As such, staff recommends adding the language. • Staging of High -Density Residential Development The City has identified approximately 13 acres of property in the southwest corner of the City for high density residential development. The City has also staged this area for development immediately in 2018. Metropolitan Council staff has indicated that if the City allows for development prior to 2020, the acreage cannot be used to account towards the City's 2021-2030 affordable housing allocation. As such, Met Council staff has indicated that the City's Update is not consistent with the Housing statement. City staff has held extensive conversations with Met Council staff on how the interests and policies of each group could be addressed without delaying potential high -density development just for the sake of putting the acreage in a different column in a table. Staff has recommended some additional language in an attempt to emphasize the fact that the City's plan should be consistent with policy. Staff also updated all staging tables to include the 2018 and 2020 staging periods within a single column (2018-2025). By the time the Comprehensive Plan is put into effect, a developer conceives of a project, the land use process is completed, and site development and construction occur, most development within the 2018-2020 staging period will not be completed until after 2020. As such, staff believes it is appropriate to forecast any growth within a broader timeframe. The Metropolitan Council does not require such specific staging, but the City chose to do so. Staffs impression is that if the City proposed a staging period of 2018-2030, concern would likely not be raised. Staff routed the proposed language changes to Met Council staff for comments and suggestions. Met Council staff continues to indicate that the staging of the property prior to 2020 is not consistent with their housing requirements. They urge the City to identify additional HDR property in the 2020 or 2025 staging periods. The Steering Committee directed staff to continue working with Met Council staff and adjusting the language of the Plan to emphasize consistency. If staff is unable to put the Met Council staffs concerns to rest, the consensus of the Steering Committee appeared to be to shift the HDR property to the 2020-2025 staging period. Staff seeks direction from the Council on how to proceed with our formal Plan submission if Met Council staff continues to take the position that the City's staging of development is inconsistent with Met Council policy. The following alternatives appear to be possible: 1) Submit the plan with staging of HDR property in 2018. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 4 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession There is a chance that Met Council staff raised more concern in their preliminary comments, in the hopes that the City will make adjustments, but will be less aggressive during its formal review process. After the City submits the Plan, Met Council staff will have 15 business days to determine if the City's Plan is complete. Staff would anticipate a comment during this period if the Met Council staff is going to deem it inconsistent. There is a chance that this issue would delay the review process or make it more difficult. 2) Change staging of all HDR property to 2020. This is, seemingly, the most straight -forward way to address the comment, although it does not appear to be in any group's best interest. At least one property owner within the HDR land use is interested in proceeding with a development request as soon as possible, and this change would complicate their situation. The Staging Plan permits a development to develop up to 2 years earlier than the staging based on an incentive -based point system, so the change would not prohibit the development from occurring in 2018, even if the property is staged for 2020. The City could make this change before formally submitting the request, or wait to see if the Met Council deems the Plan inconsistent and then make the change. 3) Change the staging of HDR property to 2020, except 2 acres with near -term interest The City could stage most of the HDR property for 2020 but leave the 2-acre parcel with an imminent development pending staged for 2018. The parcel may be small enough that it would not raise concern with Met Council staff. Staff believes it is better to keep all the HDR property in the same staging period, unless there is a policy objective served by staging the properties differently. The City could make this change before formally submitting the request, or wait to see if the Met Council deems the Plan inconsistent and then make the change. • Additional HDR Property Met Council staff noted that the City has identified 2.5 acres of property at the northeast corner of Highway 55 and CR101 for HDR development. The property is located south of Medina Ridge Condominiums and contains single family homes. Met Council staff noted that this potential redevelopment was not called out as one of the opportunities for higher density housing. Staff added language to Chapter 4 related to this property. • Affordable Housing Programs Met Council staff requested additional specificity related to under what circumstances the City would consider utilizing the various programs to support the development of affordable housing in the City. Staff has provided some potential language. • Distinction between Future Development Area and Future Stages Met Council staff noted that the previous draft of the Update had included property staged for development in 2025, 2030, or 2035 within the "Future Development Area row in the land use tables. This had introduced confusion because the City identified a "Future Development Area land use north of Loretto to identify property which may be considered for development during future planning processes. As a result, the acreage amounts of this 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 5 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession land use in the tables do not match the maps. To make it clearer, staff added a separate row for "Future Staged Growth", as distinct from the "Future Development Area." • Uptown Hamel Use Estimate Metropolitan Council staff requested an estimate of future land uses within the Uptown Hamel area. The draft Plan Update purposefully leaves a fair amount of flexibility in terms of uses and density, so providing an accurate estimate is difficult. Council members can feel free to provide their thoughts, but staff would estimate 40% residential/ 40% retail/ 20% office. • Private Recreation Residential Component The Private Recreational land use within the draft Update states: "Private Recreation (PREC) identifies areas that are currently used for outdoor recreational uses which are held under private ownership but are not publicly maintained. Limited numbers of residential uses may be included or have previously been developed within this land use designation." The language allowing "limited numbers of residential uses" was added to the current Comp Plan largely to allow residential development along the Medina Golf and Country Club. Met Council staff seeks additional information related to the City's intent for residential uses in the land use. Staffs belief is that the Villas at Medina Golf and Country Club accounted for the "limited number" of residential that the City desired to approve on the property. Staff has proposed an amendment to the language limiting residential to 10% of the land area, at a density of 2-3 units/acre. Hennepin County • Alignment of County Road 101 Hennepin County has indicated that it intends to "consider the future alignment of CR 101 north of Trunk Highway 55" in its Comp Plan. Staff believes this refers to past discussions to designate Peony in the City of Plymouth as CR 101 and to try to turn back current CR 101 to the City. The City has opposed this change in the past, because it would appear to increase the City's street maintenance obligations without having a significant reduction of anticipated traffic volume. Unless the County proposes a substantial expansion of CR 101 which may draw significant portions of CR101 traffic to the east, staff intends to oppose a turn -back of CR101 to the City. • County Road 116 capacity and improvements Hennepin County indicates that it forecasts further capacity on CR116 being necessary in the future. The County has indicated that this issue will be addressed in its Transportation Plan, which is underway. Summary of Changes Staff has proposed changes to Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the draft Plan to address the comments above which staff found appropriate to change. Staff has kept red -lined versions of the plan through the process, so if anyone would like to see these changes at each step along the way, please let me know. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 6 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession In addition to addressing the comments, the following changes were also made to respond to things which changed during the review timeframe, to address mapping errors, or to address specific comments raised. These changes were endorsed by the Steering Committee. 2390 Pioneer Trail — Rural Residential The property owner of 2390 Pioneer Trail requested that their 12 acres be guided rural residential instead of rural commercial. This property is owned by the residential owner to the east, and currently contains a storage shed. The property owner has requested that the property be guided for rural residential, consistent with their house to the east. Staff believes this makes sense and incorporated the change. Park and Trail Plan — Park Search Areas shifted Staff noted that the Park Search area circles on the original draft had shifted approximately I mile from where they were intended. Staff corrected this on the updated version. Woodridge Church — adjacent 8 acres to Institutional Earlier this spring, Woodridge Church (1500 County Road 24) combined 8 acres adjacent to their church property together with their main parcel. This 8 acres was reguided to Institutional to match the church property, which was also changed in the draft Update. Business Land Use — Nursing Homes and Assisted Living In response to City Council discussion related to nursing homes and assisted living facilities being permitted in the Business Land Use, the Steering Committee recommended adding language within the objectives of the Business Land Use which clarify that the use may be considered with proper limitations. Land Use Designation — NE corner of Highway 55 and Mohawk Drive The Planning Commission and City Council recently reviewed a Comprehensive Plan Amendment related to 50 acres at the northeast corner of Highway 55 and Mohawk Drive. This property is guided Mixed Use is the current Comp Plan (requiring a minimum of of the property to be developed with residential uses at a density of 3.5-7 units per acre). The Steering Committee discussed the property during the Comp Plan update process and heard from the property owner. The Committee recommended guiding the property as Business. The developer has requested Low Density Residential development on the property within the immediate staging period. The property owner raised concern with the property's viability for business development because of slopes and the fact that wetlands essentially divide the site into three pieces (10 acre, 10 acre, 5 acre). The Steering Committee discussed at the October 26 meeting and did not recommend changing the planned land use. School Lake Nature Preserve CD-PUD The City recently approved of a CD-PUD at 2700-2900 Parkview Drive. A portion of this property was previously guided for Agricultural uses. Staff recommends that this be updated to Rural Residential. This change was not discussed with the Steering Committee, but is consistent with the approval of the CD-PUD rezoning. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Page 7 of 8 November 8, 2017 Jurisdictional Review City Council Worksession Approval Process Staff recommends that the City Council review the draft of the Comprehensive Plan to prepare for approval and formal submission to the Metropolitan Council. If the City Council would like to direct staff to make any changes to the Plan, staff would seek such direction. Staff intends to present this information to the Planning Commission at the November 14 meeting before seeking formal action from the City Council. If the City Council and Planning Commission do not request any additional changes to the draft Plan, staff will request that the City Council approve of the Plan at the November 16 meeting and authorize submission to the Metropolitan Council for review. If the Planning Commission or City Council direct staff to incorporate changes, the Plan will likely be presented back to the Council on December 5. The Metropolitan Council has up to 120 days to review and take action on the City's Comprehensive Plan after the City submits a complete plan. The Met Council has up to 15 business days after submission to determine if the plan is complete. Attachments 1) Comments Received from Affected Jurisdictions a. Metropolitan Council — 6/5/2017 b.

In the preliminary review, staff focused on whether the draft Plan appeared to be complete or contained any major system issues or policy conflicts. Time did not permit as thorough a review as will occur when the Plan is officially submitted for Council review. A more detailed review may reveal other important matters that were not identified during this preliminary review. The review letter identifies preliminary review areas that appear to have potential policy concerns, areas of the Plan that are complete for review, and areas that are incomplete for review. Staff offers the following preliminary review comments for your consideration. The preliminary review process found that there are potential policy issues regarding conformance with the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan (2040 WRPP) and consistency with 2040 Housing Policy Plan (2040 HPP). We appreciate the preliminary review of the City's Plan and wanted to bring these potential policy issues to your attention and would be glad to discuss further. Potential Policy Issue - Conformance with the Water Resources Policy Plan Thrive MSP 2040 and the regional system and policy plans comprise the Council's Metropolitan Development Guide, which is the region's plan to ensure orderly and economical development and redevelopment of the region. This section includes issues that could result in a potential departure from the Council's adopted metropolitan system plans and not be in conformance with regional system plans. As permitted by Minnesota Statutes section 473.175, subdivision 1, the Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any comprehensive plan or part thereof that is not in conformance with the metropolitan system plan if the Council concludes that the local plan is more likely than not to have either a substantial impact on, or to contain a substantial departure from, the Council's adopted policy plans and capital budgets, including for metropolitan wastewater service. A substantial departure may occur when a local government unit proposes densities that exceed Council policy for unsewered areas that are within the long-term regional sewer service area, thus precluding future economical sewered development (2040 WRPP, p. 60). 390 Robert Street North Saint Paul, MN 55101-1805 P.651.602.1000 J TTY.651.291.0904 J rnetrocouncll.org An Equaf Oj pom,nrry Employer /)°I METROPOLITAN C O U N C i L Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 2 For conformance with the 2040 WRPP, the Plan's text and maps needs to ensure: • The boundaries of the Long -Term Service Area are correctly identified (as shown in Attachment A) and that proposed land uses within the Long -Term Service area are consistent with Council policy and do not preclude provision of future economical sewer development. Potential Policy Issue - Consistency with the 2040 Housing Policy Plan The preliminary Plan is inconsistent with the 2040 HPP and does not fulfill the housing planning requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MLPA). Specifically, the MLPA states that housing elements contain "land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing." (Minn. Stat. 473.859, subd. 2(c)) The Plan acknowledges the City's share of the region's affordable housing need for 2021-2030, which is 244 units. However, sufficient residential land at higher densities needs to be guided during 2011-2020 timeframe to provide opportunities for the development of at least that much new affordable housing. To be consistent with the 2040 HPP (see pages 109-114), the Plan needs to ensure: • Enough higher density residential land (a minimum of 8 units per acre) is guided between 2021 and 2030 to support the City's affordable housing need of 244 units and that the Plan includes all the minimum requirements for the Housing element (see Housing section). Our preliminary review also evaluated if the Plan appears to be complete for review. We found the following sections complete for review and did not identify any major system issues or policy conflicts. The Plan is complete for minimum requirements for Roadways, Transit, Aviation, Biking and Walking, Surface Water, Water Supply, Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS), Aggregate Resources, Historic Preservation, and components of the Plan Implementation requirements. We offer additional advisory comments below for your consideration: Surface Water (Joe Mulcahy, 651-602-1104) The Plan is complete for surface water and meets the surface water minimum requirements identified in the Local Planning Handbook. The Council has completed its formal review of the Local Surface Water Management Plan. Formal review comments will be sent to the City and watersheds in a separate letter. Water Supply (Lanya Ross, 651-602-1803) The Plan is complete for Water Supply minimum requirements. The below are advisory technical comments, which will help provide additional clarity. Projected Annual Water Demand (Table 7) It appears the table was modified to eliminate the column for projected total population. Table 7 should include this information through 2040. Total population forecasts should be consistent with the population projections. Please clarify whether the "population estimate" that was linearly extrapolated refers to the projected population served (as reported for each system in Table 7) or if it refers to the total community population forecast for the community. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 3 Natural Resources Impacts (Table 10) The information in Table 10 will benefit from some additional detail. For example, Table 10 identifies potential impacts to lakes. Figure 3 in Medina's system statement indicates that Independence Lake, which is near and partially overlays one of Medina's Drinking Water Supply Management Area, receives and discharges groundwater. Figure 2 also identifies this lake as impaired. The City might consider this lake to be at risk of water quality or water level declines, should nearby pumping increase. Alternatively, the City may consider the aquifer to be at risk due to poor quality surface water moving into the underlying groundwater system. Including mapping (by reviewing the county geologic atlas or other study) in the process to assess risk may be useful to determine if the risk is high or low. In the columns describing resource protection thresholds and management plans, it may be useful to refer to a water resource management plan with water quality goals. Coordination with that surface water management planning team could be included in the column describing how changes to thresholds are monitored. When describing the resource protection thresholds and how changes to thresholds for this potential issue are monitored, you may refer to reports or programs that have documented why the potential issue does not currently need to be addressed or has been mitigated. Metropolitan Council Water Supply Planning staff are available to discuss Table 10, if that would be useful. The following sections of the draft Plan are considered incomplete. Changes in the draft Plan are needed before it is submitted to the Council for formal review. Forecasts (Todd Graham, 651-602-1322) The Plan is incomplete for forecast -related content. The City and Council staff discussed adjustments to the allocations of Metro sewered and unsewered forecasts in February 2017. Chapter 3 of the Plan reflects the agreed -upon allocation of sewer and unsewered forecasts. For reference, the adjusted sewer -serviced forecasts are: Census Revised Council Forecasts 2010 2020 2030 2040 Population 4,892 6,600 7,700 8,900 Metro Sewered 2,965 4,500 5,660 6,880 Not sewered 1,927 2,100 2,040 2,020 Households 1,702 2,300 2,840 3,400 Metro Sewered 1,032 1,570 2,090 2,630 Not sewered 670 730 750 770 Employment 3,351 4,980 5,300 5,500 Metro Sewered 3,146 4,780 5,100 5,300 Not sewered 205 200 200 200 Forecast usage is inconsistent in other chapters of the Plan. The Council finds the Plan incomplete until the inconsistencies are resolved. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 4 The Plan has a discrepancy between population served by the wastewater system (Page 3.3) and population served by the water supply system (Comprehensive Water Plan Page 14). The two systems served similar numbers in year 2010. The Water Plan projects smaller numbers than the sewer -serviced forecasts in the future: 5,218 served in 2030; 6,318 served in 2040. The Plan needs to clarify whether this is an error or, alternately, explain that there will be some wastewater customers who will not be served by the City's water supply system. Advisory comments The "staging plan" (described on page 5.16) appears to prepare land supply for residential development several years earlier than expected "actual growth" and market absorption. According to the "staging plan" 96% of the planned housing capacity is serviced and ready for development by 2030. The Plan does acknowledge that "actual growth will be more linear as described in the forecasts in Chapter 3" (page 5.16). Finally, the City speculates on the reasoning of differences between the Thrive MSP 2040 forecast versus the 2030 forecast previously used (page 10.24). The previous 2030 Plan expected 100% growth during 2005-2020. The new forecast reflects the current and expected development market conditions; Metropolitan Council expects Medina will double in population, but not by 2020. Transportation / Traffic Analysis Zones (Russ Owen, 651-602-1724) The Plan is incomplete for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) minimum requirements as older TAZ zonal system was used. To be complete, the Plan needs to: • Include a table allocating forecasted population, household, and employment growth by TAZ using the official TAZ system with 2010 zones for years 2020, 2030, and 2040. • Describe how the City has allocated demographic growth based on the Plan's assumptions for guided future land use (e.g., density, mix of uses, locations for new development, highway/transit access, redevelopment, etc.). Forecast allocation to TAZs (page 10.27) need to summarize to the City total forecasts. As a starting point or reference, the City can consult the Council's preliminary TAZ allocation, split by City. It is available at https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/us-mn-state-metc-trans-anlys-zones-frest- taz-com. Wastewater (Roger Janzig, 651-602-1119) The Plan is incomplete for wastewater review and there are clarifications needed to ensure conformance with the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan (2040 WRPP). The Plan's discussion and mapping of the rural area and Long -Term Service Area raise potential policy concerns and need to be addressed in order to be in conformance with the 2040 WRPP. The following are required for completeness: Long -Term Service Area The Plan needs to show the Long -Term Sewer Service Area (LTSA) of the Regional Wastewater System as identified in the 2040 WRPP to be in conformance with regional system plans (see Attachment A). Map 5-4 includes the "Long -Term Sewer Service Area"; however, it only shows a small portion of the LTSA identified in the 2040 WRPP. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 5 To be in conformance with regional system plans, the proposed land uses within the LTSA must not preclude the potential for future economical sewered development. Sewered Projections The Plan needs to include sewered household projections by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) Service in Table 2 of the Sanitary Sewer Plan. Without sewered household projections, the Plan cannot be evaluated for its support of forecasted growth. The Plan also needs assign the City's 2040 growth forecasts by Metropolitan Interceptor Facility. Forecast Inconsistencies As indicated above, there are inconsistencies in forecasts. The sewered employment projections (Table 1 and 2) in the Sanitary Sewer Plan do not match those in (Table 3-B) in the Community Background Section. The Residential Staging Plan (Table 5-4) in the Land Use Section does not match the household forecasts in the Community Background Section (Table 3-B) or the Sanitary Sewer Section (Table 1). Local Ordinance or Resolution The Plan needs to include a copy of the local ordinance or resolution that prohibits discharge from sump pumps, foundation drains, and/or rain leaders to the sanitary sewer system. It also needs to include a copy of the local ordinance or resolution requiring the disconnection of existing foundation drains, sump pumps, and roof leaders from the sanitary sewer system. Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) The Plan needs to include a breakdown of residential housing stock age within the community into pre- and post- 1970 era, and what percentage of pre-1970 era private services have been evaluated for I/I susceptibility and repair. The Plan also needs to include the measured or estimated amount of clearwater flow generated from the public municipal and private sewer systems. In addition, the Plan needs to include a cost summary for remediating the I/I sources identified in the community. If previous I/I mitigation work has occurred in the community, include a summary of flow reductions and investments completed. If costs for mitigating I/I have not been analyzed, include the anticipated wastewater service rates or other costs attributed to inflow and infiltration. GIS Shapefiles For the official submittal, GIS shapefiles (or equivalent) must also be submitted that: • show the City's existing sanitary sewer system identifying lift stations, existing connection points to the metropolitan disposal system, and future connection points; • intercommunity connections; and • Local sewer service districts by connection point. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 6 Land Use (Freya Thamman, 651-602-1750) The Plan is incomplete for Land use review. Clarifications are needed to ensure conformance with regional system plans. The following are needed for completeness: Existing Land Use The Rural Residential definition indicates that it includes rural property which is currently vacant and not planned for urban services. The Plan should provide clarity as relates to planned urban services, as a large portion of this area is located in the Long -Term Sewer Service Area. Future Land Use Designations All land use categories that allow residential uses need to include minimum and maximum residential density ranges in the description. For areas that allow a mix of uses, like Uptown Hamel, the estimated percent residential also needs to be provided. The Uptown Hamel definition indicates that it allows residential and commercial to be mixed on adjacent sites or to be mixed within the same building or property and identifies a minimum and maximum allowed density (4-15 units per acre). This category also needs to include an estimated percent residential and share of individual land uses. For example, it may have 30% commercial, 40% office, and 30% residential. As later noted in the Housing section, the City may want to re-evaluate the minimum density. The plat monitoring program shows that Medina's development in the Hamel area (2004) was approximately 20 units on less than 'A an acre. The Future Development Area definition indicates that it is `potentially' planned for future urban development and will remain rural until designated for urban services in a future Update. However, the staging table shows a decrease in the acres (see Staging Table Comments below) To provide clarity, the text needs to indicate that this area is planned for future urban development (post-2040 Long -Term Service Area). Also, the density maximum of 1 unit per 10 acres allowed is discussed later in the text, but the definition should also indicate allowed density. Mixed Residential indicates that a portion of the site shall be developed at densities over 8 units/acre. Please also indicate a maximum allowed. The Private Recreation designation indicates that limited numbers of residential uses may be included in this category. The Plan should include additional information about the residential uses, such as under what conditions residential be allowed, estimated percent residential, and associated allowed residential density ranges or indicate that City would submit an amendment re -guiding to a residential use. Advisory Comments The Plan indicates that there is an increase in the population age 45 and older, a demand for senior lifestyle housing, and includes housing objectives for residents at all stages of their lives. The City may want to consider including more detail regarding allowed uses in each land use category. For example, if senior housing and memory care (group quarters) are allowed uses (i.e. in Commercial, Business, Uptown Hamel) along with minimum and maximum net residential densities allowed. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 7 Community Designations As identified in Thrive MSP 2040, Medina has two Community Designations: Emerging Suburban Edge and Diversified Rural. The Plan discusses these designations (Page 1-2) and includes a map (Page 1-7). Emerging Suburban Edge Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least 3-5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. The Plan shows a minimum net residential density of 3+ units/acre (Table 5-3), which is consistent with Council policy for Emerging Suburban Edge communities. Advisory Comments Council's net residential density guidelines allow wetlands and natural water bodies, public parks and open space, arterial road rights -of -way, and natural resource lands protected by local plans and ordinances. Floodplains can be netted out of they meet these guidelines. Diversified Rural Diversified Rural areas, especially those in the Long -Term Sewer Service Area, protect land for future urbanization. The Community Role for this area includes preserving areas where post- 2040 growth can be provided with cost-effective and efficient urban infrastructure. The Plan indicates that Diversified Rural communities are expected to plan for growth in patterns that do not exceed 4 units per 40 acres and are expected to manage land uses to prevent the premature demand for extension of urban services. To ensure conformance with regional system plans, there are areas of the Plan which need updates and clarifications to ensure the proposed land uses within the LTSA do not preclude the potential for future economical sewered development. Rural Designations Flexible Development Guidelines The Plan discusses Medina's permanent rural area. The Plan needs to identify what is meant by permanent rural, where this is proposed, and if it is proposed to be outside the Long -Term Sewer Service Area. The Plan's Rural Designations Land Use Policy section (Page 5-10) indicates that open space development may result in innovative developments that cluster smaller lots on larger parcels with permanently conserved open space...and can help preserve the City's natural resources, open space, and rural character while still maintaining an overall density of ten acres per unit. We find these open space guidelines an excellent way to protect natural resources, preserve open spaces, and address other local priorities in areas that are not in the future sewer service areas. Council encourages the clustering of homes, particularly when communities are considering densities greater than 4 units per 40 acres. The Council's Flexible Development Guidelines are required for areas located in the Long -Term Service Sewer Area. Cluster ordinances should be developed and implemented to provide for interim land uses without precluding the opportunity for future urban -density development. Flexible Development Guideline/Examples: https://metrocounci 1. org/Handbook/Files/Resources/Fact-Sheet/LAND-USE/Flexible-Residential- Development-Examples-for-Dive.aspx Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 8 For the formal submission, please include the City's Open Space Plan. Housing (Tara Beard, 651-602-1051) The Plan is incomplete for housing requirements. To be complete, additional information is needed for Projected Housing Need, Existing Housing Needs, and Implementation Plan. The Plan as proposed is inconsistent with the 2040 HPP as there is not sufficient land guided at higher densities in 2021-2030 to meet the City's affordable housing need of 244 units. Projected Housing Need While the Plan correctly identifies the Council's calculation of Medina's share of the region's need for additional affordable housing between 2021 and 2030 in Table 4-G, the text above that table incorrectly states that Medina's share is 253 (244 is accurate). The Plan is incomplete as it is not guiding sufficient land at minimum residential densities of 8 units per acre to support Medina's total allocation of affordable housing need for 2021-2030. The Plan then acknowledges that they must guide enough higher -density residential land that their share of the need could be reasonably met. The Plan describes four sites planned for higher density housing to meet this requirement. Unfortunately, currently none of the future development described for this purpose makes land available for the development of low or moderate income housing between 2021 and 2030. The area at Highway 12 and Baker Park Road is planned for development prior to 2021 and would therefore address Medina's share of the regional need for affordable housing in 2011-2020. The two areas designated Mixed Residential are described as planning for higher -density residential development because for every acre of Mixed Residential one unit at a density of 8 units per acres must be built. However, the overall density of Mixed Residential development cannot be more than 4 units per acre. This is a unique way of guiding high density land, and it removes the way that high -density land supports affordable housing. Our understanding of this land use is that to develop affordable housing at 8 units per acre, a developer would be required to also create, or partner with another developer who would create, market rate, single family housing (low -density housing is assumed to be market rate because very little new affordable housing is produced in the single-family market). Most affordable housing developers do not have experience developing single-family, market rate housing, nor the resources to acquire a site larger than the one necessary for a high -density development. The additional effort needed for any developer to have the ability to build affordable housing in the Mixed Residential land use negates the availability of that land for all practical purposes. This guiding is not consistent with the intent Minn. Stat. 473.859, subd. 2(c), which states that the housing element contain "land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing." Therefore, it cannot be counted toward providing opportunity for addressing Medina's share of the region's 2021-2030 need for affordable housing. Finally, the Uptown Hamel area is listed as a future site for higher -density residential development. We understand that forecasting how much housing will actually occur in mixed - use areas is difficult, but to consider this area as contributing to available land to meet Medina's share of the regional need, an educated estimate of how many acres will develop as housing, specifically at densities of at least 8 units per acre, must be provided. Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 9 There are opportunities for adjustments to the Mixed Residential and Uptown Hamel areas such that they could adequately address Medina's share of the region's 2021-2030 need for affordable housing. Some ideas to consider include: • Specify which portions of the Mixed Residential areas can be developed at minimums of 8 units per acre, and clarify that these densities can be developed independently of lower - density residential elsewhere in that land use. • Specify which portion of Uptown Hamel can be developed at higher residential densities of at least 8 units per acre, and what portion of the mixed -use designation is expected to develop as housing. Existing Housing Needs There are three primary issues with the existing housing assessment provided in the draft Plan. First, some required housing data is not provided. Specifically, the data about housing units available at <30% Area Median Income (AMI), 31-50% AMI, and 51-80% AMI is not complete; it does not include rental units nor units affordable at <30% AMI. Even if the number of units affordable at <30 AMI is zero, this should be clearly stated in the existing housing data. Additional data missing includes: • the number of publicly subsidized housing units by the following types: senior housing, housing for people with disabilities, and all other publicly subsidized units • the number of existing households that are experiencing housing cost burden with incomes at or below 30% AMI, between 31-50% AMI, and 51-80% AMI • a map of owner -occupied housing units identifying their assessed values, differentiating at a minimum between values above and below $238,500. The second primary issue involves the timeliness of the data that is provided. For much of the data provided, including the number of single family homes and rental homes, total number of housing units, and the number of units that are owner -occupied and rental, data provided is older than the data available (often through the same sources) from the Metropolitan Council. We strongly recommend using the most current data available, but in one specific data point the older data actually inhibits the ability to accurately assess existing housing. The number of owner occupied and rental housing is from the 2010 census. Not only is this inconsistent with the total housing units cited using 2010-2014 ACS data, but the draft plan states that "nearly 20% of Medina's housing stock was built between 2010 and 2015." This is a significant portion of Medina's housing that should be accounted for in the existing housing assessment, especially when newer data are readily available. As a reminder, all data required for Medina's existing housing assessment is provided on the Medina community page in the Local Planning Handbook. The final issue that contributes to the incompleteness of the Plan is the requirement to provide "a narrative analysis of existing housing needs. At a minimum, address the components of the existing housing assessment within the local context of your community. Plans consistent with Council policy will clearly identify existing housing needs and priorities for the community." The Housing Needs section of the Plan references only new households expected (though it is not clear from what source this number is derived) and the quality of the housing stock. Neither of these measures address existing housing needs nor the specific needs identified by the existing Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 10 housing assessment. Furthermore, once described, existing housing needs should be prioritized for potential city policy efforts. Implementation Plan Requirements related to the implementation plan are also incomplete for housing review. The Plan does describe myriad tools that can be used to meet housing needs. However, the tools must be clearly linked to previously identified existing and future housing needs. No existing needs are identified, and no tools are linked to the specific affordability bands in which Medina's share of the region's projected need exists. Additional explanation of this requirement can be found at https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Files/Resources/Fact-Sheet/HOUSING/Linking-Tools-to- Needs.aspx. Advisory comments The future land use map shows a small area that is currently single family as high density residential in the future, but this does not appear to be accounted for in the narrative or in Table 5- 4. Please clarify if this should be included in the table or is a mapping error. The area in question is just north of 55 and just south of a large multi -family development, and is comprised of what appears to be 2 or 3 single family homes. Depending on the staging and plans for this property, it may count as planning for Medina's share of the region's projected need for affordable housing. The paragraph on Tax Increment Finance on page 4 — 6 appears to have a typo, the last words of the paragraph should be "increment finance" instead of "abatement." Regional Parks and Trails (Jan Youngquist, 651-602-1119) The Plan is incomplete for regional parks and trails. To be complete and conform to the 2040 Regional Park Policy Plan (2040 RPPP), Council staff recommends the following minor revisions be made: • The Regional Parks section should clarify (on Page 6-3) that Baker Park Reserve and Wolsfeld Woods SNA are owned and operated by Three Rivers Park District and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, respectively. • The Trails section should clarify (on Page 6-5) that the trail along County Road 24 is a Hennepin County trail and that the trail along County Road 19 is the Lake Independence Regional Trail, which is operated by Three Rivers Park District. • The Lake Independence Regional Trail, the Lake Sarah Regional Trail Search Corridor, and the North -South 1 Regional Trail Search Corridor should be labeled on the graphic portion of Map 6-1. The map symbology should indicate that the Lake Independence Regional Trail is a regional trail to differentiate it from the other "existing paved trails" within Medina. Advisory Comments The 2040 RPPP identifies the following regional parks system facilities in Medina: • Baker Park Reserve • Lake Independence Regional Trail • Baker -Carver Regional Trail (located within Baker Park Reserve and previously the Minnetrista Extension Regional Trail Search Corridor) • Lake Sarah (and Lake Sarah Extension) Regional Trail Search Corridor • North -South 1 Regional Trail Search Corridor Dusty Finke, City Planner June 5, 2017 Page 11 Three Rivers Park District is the regional park implementing agency that owns and operates regional parks and trails in Medina. The alignments for the Lake Sarah and North -South 1 Regional Trails will be determined through a future master planning process led by Three Rivers Park District, in collaboration with the City of Medina. Solar (Cameran Bailey, 651-602-1212) The Plan is incomplete for solar review. The Council has provided additional resources for communities to meet minimum requirements, these are included in the amended Checklist in the Local Planning Handbook. The Plan must include policies for the protection and development of access to direct sunlight for solar energy. To be complete, the Plan needs to differentiate and identify the City's goals and policies relating to the development of access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems and include strategies needed to implement the policies. In addition, the following information needs to be included in the Plan: Medina's Minnesota Solar Suitability Analysis Map and calculations of Medina's gross solar and rooftop solar resource. This is available on your Community Page of the Local Planning Handbook: https://lphonline.metc.state.mn.us/commportal. Plan Implementation (Freya Thamman, 651-602-1750) The Plan is incomplete for a portion of implementation element. Additional information is needed for zoning category descriptions. The Plan includes Zoning Maps (Residential/Non-Residential). The Plan also needs to include that portion of the zoning ordinance that describes the requirements of the zoning districts, including allowable densities, intensity of use, and lot sizes. Advisory Comments Please be advised that open space development in the Long -Term Sewer Service Area need to be consistent with the Council's Flexible Development Guidelines. Council staff appreciates early submittal and review of the City's preliminary 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update.

The below provides an update on the internal conversations we've had since the meeting with you and Steve regarding the Long -Term Sewer Service Area. For the potential language changes for housing, Tara has provided additional detail in the review comments below. Long -Term Sewer Service Area The Council is entertaining the City's request to reduce some of the Long -Term Sewer Service area in Medina. A beginning point for these discussions has been to evaluate the area within Medina that has switched from Metro to Blue Lake. Council staff has done some initial GIS analysis. We can set up a date to meet further. Kyle said the time between the Sept and Oct Steering Committee meetings you had mentioned would work best. Housing Review of Potential Language Changes Land guided to address future affordable housing need Our preliminary review of Medina's 2040 Comp plan update indicated that it was inconsistent with Council housing policy as it did not guide any residential land at densities of 8 units per acre or more that could support their 2011-2020 allocation of affordable housing need. The additional language is focused on the Mixed Residential land use, and though it does add language suggesting that the higher density (at least 8 units/acre) portion of the Mixed Residential land use could be developed separately from the lower density portion, the language further suggests that the higher density portion could only be developed after a lower density development is developed. If this is the intention, the Mixed Residential land use definition is still too restrictive to be considered as addressing Medina's share of the region's need for affordable housing in 2021-2030. If it is not the intention, I would suggest that the language clearly state that the high -density and low -density portions of two independent developments can occur in any order and independently of each other. Furthermore, if the high -density portions of the Mixed Residential land use are developed in coordination with the low -density portions, there is no need to call out exactly where the high -density must occur. But if two projects are built independently, it is important to note exactly where the high -density can be developed. This achieves the intention of signaling to affordable housing developers where they might consider proposing a project. I would suggest language/maps that call out the higher density portion of the Mixed Residential land use, but with language that indicates that a coordinated development could enjoy flexibility in where exactly the higher density development would occur. Finally, even if these additional issues are resolved in the language of the housing element, the Mixed Residential land use only allows for a minimum of 95 units to be built at 8 units/acre. Medina's share of the region's need for affordable housing in the 2021-2030 decade is 244 units, so even with further changes to Mixed Residential Medina's plan would still be incomplete for housing. Existing housing analysis t There were no changes to the existing housing analysis ("Housing Inventory') in the revised document sent on August 18, so I would defer to our original preliminary review for comments on the completeness of that section. Implementation ("Affordable Housing Plan") In the preliminary review, the implementation plan was noted to contain a variety of tools that can be used to meet housing needs, but those tools were not connected to identified needs and no consideration of why and when they would be used was provided. The revised language sent on August 18 adds language stating that various tools would be considered if they met "City objectives" and/or if the level and guaranteed length of affordability `justify" the use of the tool. This additional language does not provide the necessary guidance to the development community about when and why tools would be considered. I suggest specifying a minimum level and length of affordability that would be required for the city to consider using these tools. Finally, if the "City objectives" referenced are the "Housing Objectives" on page 4-4, that should be stated more specifically.

The plan meets the minimum requirements for a local water management plan and provides an overall framework for the city to manage its water resources, however it could be improved to be more effective. Specifically, Table 4.1 Wasteload Allocations for Medina, lists 12 phosphorus wasteload allocations that have been assigned to the city. The required phosphorus load reductions necessary to meet these allocations total 2,351 pounds per year. This is not an insignificant amount. The city should consider accelerating implementation of the projects identified in Table 6.1 to meet these reductions, and work with the watersheds to identify additional actions to satisfy these wasteload allocations. Since much of the city is not yet developed, the city should consider adopting the Minnesota Pollution control Agency's Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) and sequencing for future development. More information is available on the MPCA's website. If you have any questions regarding the Council's expectations, please contact Joe Mulcahy, at 651-602- 1104. After the city adopts its surface water management plan, a final copy should be forwarded to the Council for our records along with the dates the watershed management organizations approve the plan and when the city adopts the final plan.

The City of Corcoran has reviewed that draft plan and has identified several items that are inconsistent with our Comprehensive Plan. We ask that the City consider modifying the plan to address the following items: a. Land Use • The Medina Future Land Use Plan (page 62) shows areas guided as "business" and "rural commercial" between Willow Drive and Rolling Hills Road. While this is inconsistent with the Existing Residential and Low Density Residential designations in Corcoran, this is an existing condition the Walter G. Anderson building and Twinco/Romax building. The property to the west is currently vacant, but could be developed in the future. We ask that the City of Medina consider requiring buffering between these proposed industrial uses and the existing residential uses in Corcoran. • The future land use plan now shows the northwest area of Corcoran as "future development area", which is not planned to be served prior to 2040. Staff notes that we have been working with the cities of Loretto, Medina and Maple Plain as well as the Metropolitan Council to provide sanitary sewer in this area. As noted by the City Engineer in their Sanitary Sewer comments, we recommended that the City of Medina modify the plan to allow development within the 20-year planning period in support of the regional sanitary sewer improvement currently being discussed and planned. b. Park and Trail Plan • The plan shows a proposed paved trail on Arrowhead/Hackamore. The City of Corcoran plans also show an on -road trail on Hackamore Lane and we note the importance of intercommunity planning to ensure that the trail along Hackamore is designed as part of the Hackamore improvements in a way that benefits both communities and provides a thoughtful trail system.

However, these maps should be updated on the Medina side to show sewer at the Toll properties south of Hunter neighborhood. • Medina plan shows no proposed sewer in the northwest corner of Medina. This is the area around Loretto, although Loretto is scheduled to connect to MCES by 2020 (Phase 1). A Phase 2 project for the area would allow for additional sewered development at the CR 19/ HWY 55 intersection and would require expanded MCES capacity through Maple Plain and Long Lake. The Phase 2 project is estimated to cost $46M and therefore cooperation is needed between Medina and Corcoran to show the required developable acres for MCES to extend a regional system to the area. It is recommended Medina modify the Land Use Map to reflect potential development within this planning period to support the MCES in justifying sewer improvements to the area. • The Existing Water Supply System shows existing interconnection with Corcoran, however, this connection does not exist and should be corrected. e. Water • Medina has its own supply, treatment and distribution system. There is the potential for shared or interconnections to provide redundancy to both systems. • The plan is showing a connection to Corcoran at Bergamot Drive/Hackamore near the Ravinia development (shown on Appendix 13). This is consistent with the recent agreement between the cities to provide an interconnect at Bergamot Drive for emergency or maintenance purposes. • The City of Corcoran has been working with the Metropolitan Council, Loretto, Medina and other nearby communities to provide sanitary sewer to our Southwest District. Urban development (sewered) would also require water supply and storage to the Southwest District. It is recommended that Appendix 13 be amended to show "potential joint powers water system with Loretto and Corcoran". We look forward to working with the City of Medina to resolve these issues. Please feel free to contact City Administrator Brad Martens with questions at bmartens(a�ci.corcoran.mn.us and 763-400-7030.

Generally speaking, we have found the Plan to be well -conceived and have minimal comments. In review, however, the following comments are offered for your consideration: LAND USE AND GROWTH (CHAPTER 5) Future Development Area. The draft Land Use Plan (Map 5-2 attached as Exhibit A) illustrates a land use designation of "Future Development Area" on lands which border the City of Loretto to the north and west. The Plan specifically describes this land use category as follows: Future Development Area (FDA) identifies areas which could potentially be planned for future urban development in the City that will be provided municipal sewer and water services. This area will remain rural unless and until designated for urban services in a future Comprehensive Plan update. The purpose of the FDA designation is to communicate the future planning intentions to the community. This designation is tentative and depends greatly on future infrastructure improvements, including to regional highway capacity. The City of Loretto understands the reasoning for and is supportive of the "Future Development Area" designation as future urbanization of the area would establish a population base which would likely frequent the City of Loretto for goods and services. The City does however, offer the following related comments: 1. The draft Plan (page 5-11) notes that urban services will not be provided to the "Future Development Area" during this planning cycle. In the body of the Plan text, the meaning of "planning cycle" is not described. The City's proposed Staging and Growth Plan (Map 5-4 attached as Exhibit B) graphically indicates that urbanization of the "Future Development Area" is planned to occur after 2040. For clarification purposes, it is suggested that the text reference to "this planning cycle" specifically note the post 2040 term so as not to be confused with the next Comprehensive Plan update cycle as mandated by the Metropolitan Council in 2028. 2. When areas north and west of the City of Loretto become urban (at some future point), the City would like to ensure that such future development will occur in an efficient manner. The draft Medina Plan (page 5-11) notes that a residential density of one unit per 10 acres will be allowed in the "Future Development Area." The City of Loretto has concerns that 10-acre, "rural residential" lots will not lend themselves particularly well to the future conversion to urban uses. 3. The adjacency of the "Future Development Area" to the City of Loretto raises questions related to long-term service expectations. While it is recognized that this is not an immediate issue, it will, at some future point, need to be discussed. 4. The draft Medina Plan (page 5-11) notes that "ghost plats" will be required for subdivisions within the "Future Development Area." The City of Loretto would appreciate opportunities to review and provide comment related to such "ghost plats" prior to formal subdivision approvals granted by the City of Medina. Of specific interest are land use arrangements and possible roadway connections to the City of Loretto. Commercial Uses. In regard to commercial uses, the draft Plan (page 5-15) notes that frontage roads will be required along arterial streets as a means of limiting direct property access to such roadways. Considering that Highway 55 essentially serves as the northern entrance to the City of Loretto, the City is very interested in any frontage road planning which may take place at the Highway 55/County Road 19 intersection. Staging Plan. The draft Medina Staging and Growth Plan (Map 5-4 attached as Exhibit C) illustrates urban services being provided around the entire City of Loretto at some point beyond the year 2040. The Plan specifically illustrates a "Future Development Area" encompassing the northern half of the City and a "Long-term Sewer Service Area" encompassing the southern one half of the City. The Staging Plan notes that the "Long-term Service Area" is a Metropolitan Council designation which identifies areas which may be considered for sanitary sewer service beyond 2040. If sanitary sewer service (and urban uses) are ultimately anticipated around the entire City of Loretto, question exists why areas which border the City to the south and east (as per the Staging Plan) are not designated as a "Future Development Area" on the Medina Land Use Plan (Map 5-2)? It is the opinion of the City of Loretto that the two plans should be consistent. PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE (CHAPTER 6) Parks. As shown on the draft Medina Park and Trail Plan (Map 6-1 and attached as Exhibit C), no future or expanded parks are proposed in the northwest quadrant of the City of Medina (proximate to the City of Loretto). In regard to future parks, question exists whether there are any opportunities and/or plans (within the 2040 timeframe of the Comprehensive Plan) to utilize or repurpose the former sanitary landfill site for recreational purposes? The draft Medina's Land Use Plan (Map 5-2) simply designates the site as a "closed sanitary landfill." Trails. The draft Park and Trail Plan illustrates a future trail along Chippewa Road and Pioneer Trail which will ultimately link County Road 19 and Hamel Road. While the City of Loretto is supportive of the trail, it requests an opportunity to provide input into the planning of the trail segment which will border the City (along Chippewa Road). SANITARY SEWER (CHAPTER 8) Land use changes (development or redevelopment) typically drive infrastructure needs. Medina Maps 5-3 and 5-4 (attached as Exhibits D and E) show the planned growth around Loretto. Additional development around Loretto would trigger a need for urban sewer service. Although serving additional units around Loretto in Medina is capital intensive, Phase 1 of the MCES wastewater connection shows connection to Loretto, which benefits Medina in management of the Tri-City system along CR 19. Removing the wastewater ponds from operation is also a benefit to Medina water resources. Phase 2 shows regional service to the Medina/Corcoran area around Hwy 55 / CR 19 corridor. Phase 2 would require significant developable acres to support MCES bringing regional service to the area. Recommendation: The area around Loretto is listed as either "Future Development Area" or "Long-term sewer Service Area". 1. It is recommended Medina classify these areas as potentially developing within this planning period, which would support the Phase 1 project cost expenditure by MCES, along with the flexibility for the potential of Phase 2. 2. Modify Figure 2 (attached as Exhibit F) to show potential of MCES extending service north towards Loretto. WATER SUPPLY (CHAPTER 9) Appendix 13 (attached as Exhibit G) shows the 2040 Proposed Water Supply System and any sewer service to the Loretto area would need corresponding municipal supply. Recommendation: 1. Identify the area around Loretto as "potential joint powers water supply system with Corcoran and Loretto". SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT (CHAPTER 11) Medina has identified "problem areas" on Figure 16 (attached as Exhibit H) of the Surface Water Management Plan. Recommendations: 1. Add an identifier in the northwest corner (10D) and label it "Evaluate options to decrease flooding near Canadian Pacific railroad tracks" • This improvement would be dual purpose in that upstream flood reduction would also protect Medina and Loretto's investment in the water quality treatment ponds constructed as part of the previously constructed Lake Sarah water quality treatment project. 2. Move the identifier (#6) of the Loretto WWTP to the southeast corner of Loretto. Wetlands. Loretto's wastewater ponds are located in Medina (although City of Loretto is the property owner). The ponds are identified as "Manage 2 Wetlands" on Map 3-2 (attached as Exhibit I). Recommendation: 1. Remove this classification since the ponds function as a wastewater treatment facility, not wetlands. Thank you once again for the opportunity to convey our comments on the draft Plan. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

As part of that document, the City's Surface Water Management Plan is being revised and updated and included in the Comp Plan as Chapter 11. The Commission only reviewed Chapter 11 of the Comprehensive Plan — Surface Water Management. In general, the Commission finds the document to provide a good overview of surface water management in the City. The Commission offers the following specific comments for the City's consideration: 1. Section 2.1.1 discusses the depth to bedrock throughout the City of Medina. As written, it reads as though the bedrock depth is 650 to 800 feet below the existing ground surface. The Hennepin County geologic atlas actually shows the 650 to 800 feet as being the actual elevation of the bedrock. The actual depth to bedrock is approximately 100 to 400 feet depending on the location in Medina. See the Geologic Atlas Plate C-4 for Hennepin County in the Hennepin County Geologic Atlas. 2. Figure 8 — Medina's DNR Public Water and Wetlands Map should also show the major streams with DNR jurisdiction on the figure for clarity. 3. Section 2.2.4 should have the links to other organizations water quality data checked. The links for Elm Creek and CAMP do not work at this time. 4. Table 2.4 needs to be updated to reflect that the TMDL for Elm Creek and Rush Creek has been approved as of June of 2017. 5. As the TMDL for Elm Creek and Rush Creek has now been formally approved by the EPA, we recommend that the Surface Water Management Plan be checked and updated for any activities listed in the TMDL implementation plan so that no future revisions are required to the plan or the MS4 SWPPP in the near future and specifically states this is the case. 6. Section 3.2 of the Plan refers to Hennepin County's Department of Environmental Services. This language should be replaced with Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. 7. Section 3.4.1 (both the first and second instances of this section — see below) of the plan indicates the Hennepin Conservation District provides administrative services. Technical Services are now provided by the Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. 8. Section 3.4.1 is used twice in the report — once for Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed and again for Elm Creek. Revise the numbering and check it throughout the rest of this section. CHAMPLIN • CORCORAN • DAYTON • MAPLE GROVE • MEDINA • PLYMOUTH • ROGERS Medina 2040 Comprehensive Plan Review July 18, 2017 Page 2 9. Section 3.15 needs to be revised to reflect the correct county — Hennepin — and not Ramsey and Washington Counties. 10. Under Section 4.2, it seems like the intent of the listing of TMDL's was to link to various documents. At this time, the links do not exist in the document. Otherwise, it is not clear what this bulleted list is attempting to state. 11. Section 4.2.2 states that the storm distribution for reviews will be the NRCS Type 2. ECWMC rules require the use of the distributions from the Atlas 14 publication (MSE-3). The Commission appreciates the opportunity to review the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Medina, and looks forward to seeing the final version of the document and working with the City in the implementation of the plan moving forward.

Pursuant to MS 103B.231, this correspondence is reviewing said plan for conformance with the PSCWMC 3rd Generation Watershed Management Plan. Specifically we are looking at the Surface Water Management Plan (Chapter 11, dated April 11, 2017) of your 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. Based on our review, the PSCWMC finds your plan an excellent plan and in conformance with the Commission's 3rd Generation Watershed Management Plan. We do offer the following comments and suggested revisions on your plan contents. (Note; items 1 and 3-10 are from the Elm Creek comment letter dated July 18h) 1) Section 2.1.1 discusses the depth to bedrock throughout the City of Medina. As written, it reads as though the bedrock depth is 650 to 800 feet below the existing ground surface. The Hennepin County geologic atlas actually shows the 650 to 800 feet as being the actual elevation of the bedrock. The actual depth to bedrock is approximately 100 to 400 feet depending on the location in Medina. See the Geologic Atlas Plate C-4 for Hennepin County in the Hennepin County Geologic Atlas. 2) Section 2.1.3, makes the following statement about figure 4: Although the map indicates a significant percentage of Group B soils, historical knowledge indicates that Group C and D are more prominent. The Hennepin County Soil Survey maps surface soil types, not what is represented beneath the upper one to two feet. This explains the anomaly that the Soil Survey indicates Group B when in actuality Group D is more representative. Per the soil survey definition of Hydrologic soil groups: hydrologic soil groups are groups of soils that, when saturated, have the Page 2 of 3 July 25, 2017 2) same runoff potential under similar storm and ground cover conditions. The soil properties that affect the runoff potential are those that influence the minimum rate of infiltration in a bare soil after prolonged wetting and when the soil is not frozen. These properties include the depth to a zone in which the soil moisture status is wet, the infiltration rate, permeability after prolonged wetting, and the depth to a very slowly permeable horizon or horizons. The influences of ground cover and slope are treated independently and are not taken into account in hydrologic soil groups. In the definitions of the hydrologic soil groups, the infiltration rate is the rate at which water enters the soil at the surface and is controlled by surface conditions. The transmission rate is the rate at which water moves through the soil and is controlled by properties of the soil horizons. Based on the NRCS Soil Survey description of hydrologic soil groups, the statement about figure 4 would be false. 2) Figure 8 — Medina's DNR Public Water and Wetlands Map should also show the major streams with DNR jurisdiction on the figure for clarity. 3) Section 2.2.4 should have the links to other organizations' water quality data checked. The links for Pioneer -Sarah Creek and CAMP do not work at this time. 4) Section 3.2 of the Plan refers to Hennepin County's Department of Environmental Services. This language should be replaced with Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. 5) Section 3.2 should indicate Hennepin County has assumed all duties and responsibilities of the Hennepin Conservation District. 6) Section 3.4.1 (both the first and second instances of this section — see below) of the plan indicates the Hennepin Conservation District provides administrative services. 7) Technical Services are now provided by the Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. 8) Section 3.4.1 is used twice in the report — once for Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed and again for Elm Creek. Revise the numbering and check it throughout the rest of this section. 9) Section 3.15 needs to be revised to reflect the correct county — Hennepin — and not Ramsey and Washington Counties. 10) Under Section 4.2, it seems like the intent of the listing of TMDLs was to link to various documents. At this time, the links do not exist in the document. Otherwise, it is not clear what this bulleted list is attempting to state. 11) Section 5.2.2 states that the storm distribution for reviews will be the NRCS Type 2. PSCWMC rules require the use of the distributions from the Atlas 14 publication (MSE-3). 12) Figure 16, High Priority Area #4 is misplaced.

The MCWD has completed a review intended to provide guidance related to areas where the plan may lack sufficient detail or adequate action to comply with State Statute and Administrative Rules as well as the MCWD's Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan (MCWD Plan). Unfortunately, the timeline provided by Statute for review and approval of LWMPs often does not allow for the iterative process necessary to resolve all of the issues entailed in the planning process. The current submittal dated April 21, 2017 is hereby deemed incomplete pending resolution of the issues summarized in the attached document. MCWD encourages the City to revise the LWMP and resubmit for MCWD approval. As you know, the MCWD is in the process of updating its Plan. The MCWD Plan will include requirements for LWMPs that focus primarily on improving coordination and collaboration between City and MCWD planning and implementation. The MCWD anticipates distributing its draft Plan in late June 2017 and adopting it in December 2017. Given the timing of the City's submittal, the MCWD has reviewed the LWMP against both the 2007 MCWD Plan requirements and the draft 2017 requirements. Although the 2017 requirements are not yet in effect, the City is encouraged to meet these draft requirements so as to avoid the need for a future plan amendment. MCWD seeks opportunities to work with local communities on implementation of efforts to maintain and improve shared water resources. Review and approval of the LWMP is a prime opportunity to ensure consistency and coordination of these efforts in the future. After an initial review, it is evident that the City has devoted time and effort into creating a high quality set of goals and implementation actions. The LWMP will provide a strong foundation for protecting the quality of water resources in Medina. Please feel free contact me with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Becky Christopher MCWD Lead Planner We collaborate with public and private partners to protect and improve land and water for current and future generations. 15320 Minnetonka Boulevard, Minnetonka, MN 55345 • (952) 471-0590 • Fax: (952) 471-0682 • www.minnehahacreek.org City of Medina Local Water Management Plan Draft dated April 11, 2017 Requirements of MCWD 2007 WMP ➢ Requirements from MN Rules 8410 and MN Statutes 1036.235 Status in City of Medina April 11, 2017 Draft Plan 1. Organized according to MR8410 including sections containing a table of contents; purpose; water resource related agreements; executive summary; land and water resource inventory; establishment of goals and policies; relation of goals and policies to local, regional, state, and federal plans, goals, and programs; assessment of problems; corrective actions; implementation priorities; amendment procedures; implementation program; and an appendix. Meets requirements. 2. Describe the existing and proposed physical environment and land use. Meets requirements. 3. Define drainage areas and the volumes, rates, and paths of stormwater runoff, including a map of the stormwater system. Does not meet requirements. Does not include a map showing the required elements. A figure showing higher -level drainage areas and flow network is included. 4. Include a stormwater system map that shows ponds, streams, lakes and wetlands that are part of your system; structural pollution control devices (grit chambers, separators, etc.) that are part of your system; pipes and pipe sizes and other conveyances in your system; and outfalls and all other points of discharge from your system that are outlets. Does not meet requirements. Does not include a map showing the required elements. A map showing ponds and outfalls, drainage areas, and flow direction was included in the City's 2009 stormwater management plan but was not updated and included in this draft plan. 5. Identify areas and elevations for stormwater storage adequate to meet performance standards established in the subwatershed plans. See requirements 6 and 7. 6. Identify areas of known flooding and areas identified in the HHPLS where modeling predicts that public roads, private roads, or private drives might overtop during infrequent events or there may be minimal freeboard above the flood level. Local plans must assess whether the risk of occasional flooding is acceptable or should be addressed, and set forth a plan for making improvements as necessary. Meets requirements. 7. Identify land -locked subwatershed units and basins and strategies to manage water volumes in those land -locked areas to minimize flooding. Meets requirements. 8. Assess the condition of locations identified in the HHPLS where modeling predicts that under existing or future development conditions higher velocities than desired may result in erosion at outlets or culverts, potentially warranting erosion control or energy dissipation. The local plan must assess the need for such measures, and set forth a plan for making improvements as necessary to correct existing or prevent future erosion. Meets requirements. 1 June 20, 2017 9. Define water quality protection methods adequate to meet performance standards established in the watershed plan. See requirement 10. 10. Identify specific steps the LGU will take to achieve the annual phosphorus load reductions it is assigned in the subwatershed plans affecting their community. Credits for existing BMPs in -place will be considered through the Local Surface Water Management Plan and evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Partially meets requirements. The City's 2009 Plan included a specific phosphorus load reduction plan. No assessment was provided in the proposed Plan to determine progress toward meeting those annual reductions. 11. Identify regulated areas, such as Outstanding Resource Value Waters. Meets requirements. 12. Identify Key Conservation Areas in this Plan in their community, and assess the adequacy of local policies and regulatory controls in place to conserve hydrologic and ecologic values of the resources within those Areas. The plan must set forth a plan and schedule for the amendment of those policies and controls as necessary to meet performance standards established in the subwatershed plans. Meets requirements. 13. Assess the consistency of the LGU's wetland regulation, including any wetland classification system and specific wetland classifications, with the management classifications, classification system and proposed regulation set forth in this Plan. Meets requirements. 14. Set forth an implementation program, including a description of official controls and, as appropriate, a capital improvement program. Meets requirements. 15. Describe the LGUs permitting process for land and wetland alteration work, including an assessment of the adequacy of current official controls and a plan and schedule for the amendment of those controls as necessary. Does not meet requirements. The City has in place a Stormwater Design Guide that is incorporated into the Plan by reference and which describes the permitting process. No assessment of official controls was included in the Plan. 16. Describe the LGUs conformance with NPDES requirements for MS4s including TMDL and Nondegradation requirements. The local plan must include the LGU's Stormwater Pollution Prevent Plan (SWPPP) or a summary of its contents. Does not meet requirements. The Plan adequately describes the City's SWPPP activities and reviews TMDL implementation for lakes. However, the City also has a Wasteload Allocation for the Painter Creek E. coli impairment, and there is no discussion of that TMDL or proposed implementation actions. In addition, there is significant agricultural land in Medina that was moved from the Wasteload Allocation to the Load Allocation for the lake TMDLs. There is no discussion of how the City intends to work with agricultural land owners to achieve voluntary load reductions. ➢ Local Land Use Requirements Status in City of Medina April 11, 2017 Draft Plan 1. Describe efforts to integrate Safe Drinking Water Act and other wellhead protection plans, as well as the protection of sensitive surface- and groundwater resources, into the local zoning code. Meets requirements. 2 June 20, 2017 2. Describe how water resource protection priorities have been integrated into local parks, open space, recreation and land acquisition plans. Partially meets requirements. The Plan is generally silent about integration of water resource protections with parks and open space planning. It notes that some of the high -quality wetlands and uplands are located near local parks, and that the city would look for opportunities to include water and natural resources interpretation at park facilities. The Comprehensive Plan Parks and Open Space Plan does include as a park classification Conservancy Lands and three nature areas are designated as parks. The Comprehensive Plan references but does not incorporate the 2007 Open Space Report, which establishes goals and policies for preserving ecological integrity and natural infrastructure. Neither the Open Space Plan nor the Parks and Open Space Plan are referenced in the LWMP. 3. Describe how local authority to require land or easement dedication or protective covenants as a part of subdivision regulation is being used for water resource protection purposes. Meets requirements. 4. Consult with District staff on approaches to low -impact site design that preserve natural hydrological systems and capability to assimilate development impacts; examine how those approaches can be integrated into local land use regulations; describe constraints or competing concerns that prevent further integration; and describe how the LGU will integrate such approaches into its development code. Partially meets requirements. The City's Stormwater Design Guide references the Stormwater Manual and details a nine step screening process for stormwater treatment practice selection. There is no assessment determining if this is adequately integrated into current city code. 5. Identify how conflicts between (i) development code setbacks and (ii) water resource requirements in local ordinances or District rules will be reconciled to give due weight to water resource protection goals. Does not meet requirements. No assessment of official controls was included in the Plan. 6. Show that the local development code requires stormwater facilities and wetlands in residential subdivisions that are subject to future maintenance obligations under local ordinance or District rule to be located entirely on outlots, and justify exceptions to this requirement. Partially meets requirements. The City's Design Manual requires this but does not document that it is required by ordinance. 7. State that the local subdivision ordinance requires, or within 180 days will be amended to require, that a copy of each proposed preliminary plat, and iterations thereof, be provided to the District for informational purposes at the time it is submitted to the locality. Does not meet requirements. No assessment of official controls was included in the Plan. ➢ Permit Program Requirements Status in City of Medina April 11, 2017 Draft Plan 1. Eight Plan requirements should the LGU elect to assume the sole regulatory authority. Medina does not intend to assume regulatory authority, so the eight requirements do not apply. 3 June 20, 2017 �' H o u s e k e e p i n g R e q u i r e m e n t s S t a t u s i n C i t y o f M e d i n a A p r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 7 D r a f t P l a n 1 .

MnDOT ID # CPA17-004 MN 55 Medina City Limits City of Medina, Hennepin County Dear Mr. Finke: The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has reviewed the City of Medina's 2040 Comp plan update. Please address the following issues before any further development: Design: Continue to work with MnDOT regarding any proposed changes to MN55. The MnDOT Area Engineer, Andrew Lutaya (651-234-7563 or andrew.lutaya@state.mn.us) is available to help coordinate any significant issues along MN 55. For questions regarding these comments please contact Nancy Jacobson at 651.234.7647 or Nancy.L.Jacobson@state.mn.us Bicycle and Pedestrian: • MnDOT is generally supportive of the proposed trail along TH 55 between CSAH 101 and Wayzata High School. The trail is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Policy Plan and the Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan, which have already been reviewed by MnDOT. Trails constructed along MnDOT Trunk Highways require a Limited Use Permit (LUP). Ownership and maintenance of trails are the responsibility of the implementing agency. • Grade separated crossings of Trunk Highways are also the responsibility of the implementing agency to fund, own, and maintain. For questions regarding these comments please contact Gina Mitteco at 651-234-7878 or gina.mitteco@state.mn.us. Permits: Any use of or work within or affecting MnDOT right of way requires a permit. Permit forms are available from MnDOT's utility website at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/maintenance/permits.html Please include one set of plans formatted to 11X17 with each permit application. Please submit/send all permit applications and 11X17plan sets to: metropermitapps.dot@state.mn.us. Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig (651-234-7911) of MnDOT's Metro Permits Section. Review Submittal Options: MnDOT's goal is to complete the review of plans within 30 days. Submittals sent in electronically can usually be turned around faster. There are four submittal options. Please submit either: 1. One (1) electronic pdf. version of the plans. MnDOT can accept the plans via e-mail at metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us provided that each separate e-mail is under 20 megabytes. 2. Three (3) sets of full size plans. Although submitting seven sets of full size plans will expedite the review process. Plans can be sent to: MnDOT — Metro District Planning Section Development Reviews Coordinator 1500 West County Road B-2 Roseville, MN 55113 3. One (1) compact disc. 4. Plans can also be submitted to MnDOT's External FTP Site. Please send files to: ftp://ftp2.dot.state.mn.us/pub/incoming/MetroWatersEdge/Planning Internet Explorer doesn't work using ftp so please use an FTP Client or your Windows Explorer (My Computer). Also, please send a note to metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us indicating that the plans have been submitted on the FTP site.

This would help improve consistency and transparency in our development review process for future right-of-way (ROW) requests 10 2nd Error — County Road (CR) 210 mislabeled. — CR 201 11/47 1st HC likely will again recognize County Road (CR) 116 as a candidate for a functional class change in 2040 TSP as we did in 2030 TSP 11/46 2nd HC will again further consider the future alignment of CR 101 north of Trunk Highway (TH) 55 in our 2040 TSP Update. This would involve multiple cities 17/43 1st While the HC Crash System Map does not recognize TH 55/CR 101 or TH 55/CR 116 (Pinto Drive) as having a critical crash rate (2009-2014), we would support further analysis of these intersections and potential improvements as needed 18 3rd For Access Management note that for the upcoming 2040 Hennepin County Comp Plan, the county will match MnDOT access guidelines for permits 18 5th Note that relocating access during reconstruction is extremely expensive as it many times requires compensation to the property owner. HC will continue to advocate for access reconfiguration during the plat/site plan process as this is the time to make these changes 21 Table 4 Hennepin County is currently in the process of reviewing the access guidelines for the county, please follow up with county staff for more details 23 4th Note that cutting a 25' x 25' corner of ROW at signalized corners is very helpful in maintaining the ADA and APS facilities at these intersections. This also provides area for traffic signal control equipment 23/45/57 2nd We agree further capacity on CR 116 will be necessary in the future particularly south of Hackamore Road. As part of the HC TSP update we will be updating our typical sections and future roadway needs. Further discussion and analysis will of course be necessary. Any improvements should be preceded by a functional class change to A Minor. Additional ROW beyond the existing 100' will likely be needed regardless 28 Table 7 From our perspective, we no longer would favor constructing or converting any county roads to 4-lane undivided sections regardless of volume 28 2nd We will need to compare forecasts when our 2040 Plan is complete, especially for CR 116, 101 and 19 29 Plan does not appear to address winter maintenance of bicycle facilities in this section. Consider adding this information if/where relevant 30 3rd Consider adding text about developing a bike parking ordinance and/or working with developers to implement bike parking at new developments. This could also be added to Table 14 as a strategy (page 54) 32 6th This could be another helpful design resource: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/publications/small_towns/fhwahep17024_Ig.pdf 44 Table 7 HC recently made signage and striping improvements along CSAH 19 to help address safety/operational concerns here. We will continue to monitor conditions 60 1st Public comments - "Install a traffic signal at CR 116 @ Meander Drive".

Hausero Michael T. Johat Paul M. Shapiro Erika M. Peterson Jenny (Chi) Zhang Thomas W. Newcome (1923 - 2011) Thomas W. Newcome ITI (Retired) Also admitted in Arizona 00 Also admitted in California d Also admitted in Illinois 0 Also admitted in Iowa § Also admitted in Montana f Also admitted in North Dakota + Also admitted in Wisconsin Board Certified Civil Trial Specialist (Minnesota State Bar Association) t Board Certified Civil Trial Specialist (National Board of Trial Advocacy) * Certified Real Property Law Specialist (Minnesota State Bar Association) 1 Fellow, American College of Employee Benefit Counsel This office represents the RL Roy Trust and EH Roy Trust (the "Roys"), the fee title owners of real property located at 1952 Chippewa Road, Medina, MN 55340 (the "Roy Property"). The Roy Property is a 76 acre parcel, currently guided for staging and growth under the existing Medina 2030 Comprehensive Plan for development within the 2011-2015 phasing plan as low density residential with 2.0-3.49 units per acre. A review of the latest draft of the Medina 2040 Comprehensive Plan suggests that the Roy Property is now being earmarked as phased for development in 2025 under the proposed staging and growth plan. Under the new draft Comprehensive Plan, the Roy Property's staging is being delayed eight years notwithstanding the fact that similarly situated parcels have already been developed into single family residential neighborhoods with full municipal services. The November 15, 2016 draft Staging and Growth Map reveals that virtually all of the property around the Roy Property is either already developed, within an existing service area, or staged for development within the next several years. More specifically, the area directly abutting the Roy Property to the east was fully developed into the Bridgewater Development with single family residential lots. It appears that the Roy Property is being singled out among other similarly situated property to remain agricultural land with no possibility of development until 2025. This decision by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee is arbitrary and capricious and should not be made a part of the final Comprehensive Plan for 2040 as adopted by the City Council of Medina. The Roys only ask that they and their property be treated the same or similar to those properties June 2, 2017 Page 2 in the same vicinity with similar characteristics as the Roy Property under the proposed plan. As the steering committee is likely aware, a large portion of the Roy Property on the east side of the parcel is undevelopable wetlands and would therefore mitigate any possible concerns for overdevelopment or high density residential housing, which the steering committee has made an effort to limit. The wetlands would also act as a natural buffer to the residential housing development to the east of the Roy Property which would prevent large tracts of contiguous land from being developed, which would also be in keeping with the stated goal of the City of Medina of promoting open space and keeping the rural nature of the city. We look forward to having an open discussion regarding the City's proposed change in land used for the Roy Property and would encourage the City Attorney to contact the undersigned at their earliest convenience to discuss this issue. In the unfortunate event that the parties cannot reach a satisfactory resolution to this issue, the Roys have instructed us to pursue all available legal remedies to protect their current property rights. It is our hope that rather than costly and time consuming litigation, the parties can instead reach an agreement that the Roy Property's classification and development status be left unchanged from the existing comprehensive plan.

The Plan guides future growth and development within the City, informs investments in City infrastructure and services such as natural resources, parks/recreation, transportation, and water resources. The Plan reflects the wishes of its residents and sets the City's relationship within the context of its region. This chapter describes the purpose of the Plan, introduces how the Plan is organized and provides contextual background for the Plan. The Plan serves the following constituencies and provides: A. Residents of Medina - opportunity to guide the future of the City, expectation of future land use changes which are anticipated, and protection from: (1) indiscriminate development; (2) exploitation of resources; and (3) the consequences of unplanned public services. B. City Council, Advisory Groups, and Staff - guidelines for making land use and development decisions and capital investments. C. Landowners and Developers - guidelines for use, density, transportation, and public services. D. Metropolitan Planning and Implementation Agencies - projections of anticipated population, traffic, land use, and sewer requirements. E. Watershed Districts, the MN Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of Engineers - assurance that the natural functions of wetland and other ecologically significant resources will be protected. F. Other Public Agencies - (state, county, school districts, and neighboring communities) awareness of plans that may affect their decisions and assurance that local policies will remain relatively constant over a period of years. Plan Scope The 2040 Comprehensive Plan builds upon the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the identified community goals and aspirations for the future. The Plan identifies goals, strategies, policies and standards for growth and development that preserve the rural character, open spaces and natural resources that make Medina a unique place. The Plan sets forth the intentions of allowing reasonable commercial development along the Trunk Highway 55 corridor, providing opportunities for projected residential growth of various housing types in locations throughout the community. Chapter 1 - Introduction DRAFT -November 2017 G 4 T V O F MEDIN►4 Page 1- 1 Planning Period Medina's Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2009. Municipalities are required by State Statute to update their Comprehensive Plan every 10 years. This Comprehensive Plan is designed to guide the City's land use planning and growth through 2040. Recognizing the inevitability of change, the Plan is intended to remain flexible to unanticipated events and opportunities and to reduce adjustments and amendments during the planning period. Regional Setting Medina is considered a third -ring suburb of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA) and is located approximately 20 miles west of Minneapolis, immediately west of the City of Plymouth. The City of Loretto is a separate local governmental unit located within Medina's borders, is not governed by Medina, but does cost -share police and fire services with Medina. The City of Corcoran forms Medina's northern boundary, the City of Orono is located to the south and the cities of Independence and Maple Plain lie to its west. Metropolitan Council's ThriveMSP2040 and System Statements Medina is part of the growing metropolitan area and participates in providing and utilizing metropolitan systems such as wastewater handling and treatment, transportation, airports, and parks. The Metropolitan Council has the responsibility to monitor and coordinate planning of these systems. As metropolitan communities grow and develop, these systems are constantly evaluated by the Metropolitan Council to determine their regional impact. ThriveMSP2040 and the 2040 Systems Statements were created by the Metropolitan Council under the authority of Minnesota Statutes, section 473.145. This document serves as a guide to ensure that costly regional services and infrastructure are provided efficiently and that development and growth within the metropolitan area occurs in an orderly and coordinated manner. The Metropolitan Council designates different strategies for communities based on the types of land use changes that are expected. These variations are reflected in "Community Designations' that are illustrated on the Community Designation Map (Map 1-1). This plan designates the northeast portion of Medina as "Emerging Suburban Edge' and the vast majority of the remainder of the City as a "Diversified Rural." ThriveMSP2040 describe these Community Designations as follows: • Emerging Suburban Edge communities include cities, townships and portions of both that are in the early stages of transitioning into urbanized levels of development. Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least 3-5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. In addition, Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. • Diversified Rural communities are home to a variety of farm and nonfarm land uses Chapter 1 - Introduction DRAFT -November 2017 T Y O � MEDINA Page 1- 2 including very large -lot residential, clustered housing, hobby farms and agricultural uses. Diversified Rural communities are expected to plan for growth not to exceed forecasts and in patterns that do not exceed 4 units per 40 acres. In addition, Diversified Rural communities are expected to manage land uses to prevent the premature demand for extension of urban services, and so that existing service levels will meet service needs. Planning and Public Participation Process The City conducted an extension process for residents, business owners and other interested parties to help guide the Comprehensive Plan from September 2015 through December 2016. This included eight community meetings, a business forum, and an online forum. In addition, the City Council and Planning Commission discussed the various aspects of the Plan at three concurrent meetings, a Steering Committee was appointed and discussed at a series of thirteen meetings, and the Planning Commission held a formal Public Hearing on December 13, 2016. Changes since the 2010 Comprehensive Plan Update Below is a list of significant changes from Medina's 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan: • The City experienced substantial residential growth during the approximately six years since adoption of the 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan. There were 446 new homes constructed within the City, an increase of over 20% in just six years. Communities adjacent to and further north and west of Medina also experienced substantial growth over this period, and the collective growth resulted in substantial concerns over the capacity of local school districts and regional transportation networks to support the growth. • While substantial residential growth occurred over the past six years, the Metropolitan Council has projected that future population growth will slow within Medina. Population and household growth within Medina is projected to be 40-50% lower than forecast a decade ago. • To maintain consistency with Metropolitan Council population projections and also to further the objectives of protecting natural resources and preserving open space and rural character, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan reduces property planned for residential development when compared to the 2010-2030 Plan. • Opportunities for new commercial, office, and business development continue to be provided near Uptown Hamel and along the Highway 55 corridor. Some property previously planned for residential development is now planned for business development. Chapter 1 - Introduction DRAFT -November 2017 G 4 T V O F MEDIN►4 Page 1- 3 Outline of Comprehensive Plan Vision and Community Goals The Vision and Community Goals chapter describes the City's goals and aspirations for the future. Maintaining open space, preserving rural vistas and protecting natural resources are consistently raised as strong interest of residents in the community and one of the primary contributors to the quality of life in Medina. Community Background The Community Background chapter provides an inventory of existing conditions on demographics, employment and other facts that influence the future land use planning. This section includes reference to natural areas and open spaces that affect future development in the community. The City recognizes that once these resources are depleted it is difficult, if not impossible, to replace them. The natural areas and open spaces are high priorities in all plan chapters presented in this document. Housing and Neighborhoods This chapter describes the existing housing stock of the City and establishes objectives for residential development and redevelopment within the community. The housing and neighborhood section supports the need to diversify the housing types and styles throughout the community. The data demonstrates that the majority of housing development has been focused on larger, single-family residential homes. The City has structured the Future Land Use Plan and the goals and strategies to support more diverse housing. Land Use and Staging The Land Use and Growth chapter describes the future development and land use patterns anticipated in the community. The chapter starts with an existing land use inventory to quantify existing types of development that will influence future growth. The Future Land Use Plan (used interchangeably with Guide Plan) is based on the Existing Land Use inventory. The Guide Plan shows that the vast majority of the land within the City will remain rural. The Guide Plan demonstrates a desire by the community and city officials to grow at a sustainable pace allowing for efficient expansion of infrastructure services while also creating development which is compatible with adjacent uses and not concentrating development within a geographical area during a particular timeframe. Chapter 1 - Introduction DRAFT -November 2017 T Y O � MEDIN►4 Page 1- 4 Parks, Trails and Open Space This chapter builds upon the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and was updated to reflect new trails or parks in the community since the last planning process. The chapter plans future parks to serve planned residential growth in the City and also substantial expansion of the trail system. The parks, trails, and open space plan also discusses existing regional parks and natural areas such as Baker Park Reserve and Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) which offer significant recreational opportunities in the City. Implementation The implementation chapter is critical to the overall success of the Comprehensive Plan and includes reference to the capital improvement plans associated with water and wastewater. This section also includes a discussion of how the community intends to update its official controls, and which tools the community would like to explore further to help implement the goals and aspirations identified in the Plan. Infrastructure: Transportation, Sewer, Water, and Surface Water Plans The infrastructure plans include Transportation, Surface Water, and Water and Sewer Plans for the community. These studies were completed by the City's Engineer and are appended to this document in their entirety. These reports support the land use and growth decisions in the community, describe necessary capital investments, and provide a basis for establishing relevant policies and fees to support the expansion of the systems which are necessitated by new development.

This chapter includes a set of general community goals that guided the creation of this Plan. The concepts in this chapter are some of the few static elements of the Comprehensive Plan. If land uses change or other infrastructure varies from the Plan, decisions will be founded in the goals set forth below. The Vision and Goals were created with the involvement of the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee (the "Steering Committee"), City officials, and residents of Medina and are broadly supported. Land use designations are subject to strong social and economic pressures to change. Accordingly, it is appropriate that such systems be periodically evaluated in light of changing social and economic conditions. As development evolves, the Vision and Goals will provide the guidance for accomplishing the vision for the future of the community even when changes are necessary to the land use plan. Detailed objectives and recommendations are contained within each of the subject chapters of this plan. Creating the Vision and Goals The residents, the Steering Committee, City officials and staff participated in the planning process for the Plan. A series of public participation meetings were conducted to introduce and solicit information from the residents of Medina. The Steering Committee held work sessions that focused on integrating the concerns and desires of the community together with accommodating growth and regional impacts. An online forum provided additional opportunity for residents to impact the Vision and Community Goals as they were formulated. In addition to land use and growth planning, the City implemented open space, natural resources, and infrastructure planning. The goals which guided this process are integrated into this chapter. Each element of this plan was developed with assistance from city officials and a diverse group of community stakeholders producing a truly representative plan. The City made a conscious decision to emphasize natural resources and open space conservation. Community Vision The following statement provides a vision of the community for the future and the resultant goals and strategies. Medina is a community united by a common goal: to sustain and enhance the quality of life of its residents. Medina will protect its significant natural resources and open space throughout the City, while honoring its rural heritage and fostering safe and well - Chapter 2 - Vision and Community Goals DRAFT - November 2017 G T v T MEDINA Page 2-1 designed neighborhoods, places of recreation and destinations for citizens to gather. Development within the City will be commensurate with available transportation systems, municipal services and school capacity. Community Goals The following Community Goals are derived from the Vision Statement and inform objectives and strategies throughout the various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Preserve rural vistas, open spaces, and wetlands in all parts of the community to promote the rural character of Medina. Protect and enhance the environment and natural resources throughout the community. Encourage and incent innovative and environmentally friendly approaches to planning, engineering and development. Expand urban services only as necessary to accommodate regionally forecasted residential growth, desired business opportunities and achievement of other Community Goals. Such development and growth shall be at a sustainable pace proportionate with capacity of schools and transportation, water supply and wastewater infrastructure available to the City. Spread development so that it is not geographically concentrated during particular timeframes. Promote public and private gathering places and civic events that serve the entire community. Preserve and expand trails and parks to provide community recreational facilities, connect neighborhoods, and encourage healthy lifestyles of its residents. Provide opportunities for a diversity of housing at a range of costs to support residents at all stages of their lives. Encourage an attractive, vibrant business community that complements the residential areas of the City. Maintain its commitment to public safety through support of the City's police department and coordination with its contracted volunteer fire departments. Manage the City through prudent budgeting processes, retaining a skilled and efficient staff and long-range planning and financial management. Chapter 2 - Vision and Community Goals DRAFT - November 2017 MEDINA Page 2 - 2 Chapter 3: COMMUNITY BACKGROUND Introduction Medina was a part of the "Big Woods," a vast region of hardwood forest, broken only by lakes, marshes, and streams. Its Dakota people lived on game, fish, berries, wild rice, and maple sugar and traded with other bands in the region. In 1853, the Traverse de Sioux Treaty opened the region to European settlers, who were attracted to the area by the vast stands of timber and the availability of land for farming. The first European settlers arrived in Medina in 1855. On Apri110,1858, County Commissioners gave the City an official designation as "Hamburg Township." Local residents preferred the name, "Medina," after the Arabian holy city that had been in the news that year. On May 11,1858, 37 residents met in the home of Valorius Chilson and voted unanimously to change the name to Medina. Medina graduated from township status to become a village in 1955 and was incorporated as a city in 1974. Medina's early European settlers were chiefly of German, Irish and French-Canadian descent and had names still common in Medina such as Scherer and Reiser; Mooney and Crowe; Hamel and Fortin. The first generations tended to group according to their language ties and to help each other through the long hard winters. Townships were divided into 36 sections, each consisting of a square mile. This meant that the City of Excelsior extended beyond the north shore of Lake Minnetonka to Medina's southern border. Excelsior's northern residents tolerated this inconvenience unti11868, when Excelsior's north shore residents voted to become a part of Medina. This expanded Medina to over 50 square miles. In 1889, George A. Brackett led a successful drive to carve the City of Orono out of the southern 11 sections of Medina. Later, the City also ceded away land to Loretto, when Loretto was incorporated in 1940. Loretto had been platted since 1886, when the Minneapolis & St. Paul and Sault St. Marie railroad came through. The Hamel area of Medina was platted as early as 1879, but its efforts to incorporate failed, in part, because of the complication of straddling the borders of both Medina and Plymouth. The town might have been called Lenz after Leander Lenzen, who built a mill in Elm Creek and set up a post office in the name of Lenz in 1861. But when the Lange Hamel family gave land to the railroad for the train depot in 1884 they asked that the area be called "Hamel," and the name took root. To this day, this area of the City is still referred to as Hamel. Built on the road from Minneapolis to Rockford, Hamel was a busy town. At the beginning of the 20th century, Hamel boasted a school, two hotels, the Church of St. Anne's, a hall for the Ancient Order of United Workman and numerous stores. The town decreased to its present size after Highway 55 bypassed Hamel in the 1950s. Chapter 3 - Community Background DRAFT - November 2017 MEDINA Page 3 - 1 Population and Household Trends Table 3-A below shows historical and projected population and household size data for the City of Medina. The 1990, 2000, and 2010 population and household data is from the U.S. Census. The 2014 population and household estimates and the 2020-2040 population and household projections are from the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Regional Development Framework. The Metropolitan Council estimated Medina's population to be 5,831, with 1,961 households in 2014. The Metropolitan Council projects that the average household size will continue to decline regionally over the next 20 years due to an increase in the number of seniors and lifestyle changes.

Population growth is expected to continue, albeit at a slightly slower pace, as areas within the City guided for urban residential densities are developed. The Metropolitan Council forecasts the City will have a population of 6,600 in 2020, 7,700 in 2030 and 8,900 in 2040. This corresponds to a 35% increase from 2010 to 2020, and a 16% increase for the next two 10-year periods. Table 3-B below was developed based on the Guide Plan developed as a part of this Plan.

Medina has a strong economy that is likely to improve as population increases. The City has experienced considerable growth in its economic base and the addition of diverse employment opportunities since the last planning cycle. Table 3-D below shows that employment growth in the City of Medina increased 14.4% from 2000 to 2010. The Metropolitan Council's projections indicate an increase in employment of 47.2% between 2010 and 2020. The availability of commercial and general business land along the TH 55 corridor, adequate transportation and utility infrastructure, and the location of the City within the metropolitan area make Medina attractive to businesses.

The TIF district consists of more than 60 parcels on both sides of TH 55 near its intersection with Sioux Drive/CR 101. TIF funds have been used to fund public improvements to entice development north and south of TH 55 in the Uptown Hamel area, including storm water infrastructure in Uptown Hamel. Through 2007, redevelopment in Uptown Hamel has been slow. Investment Framework To maintain a strong tax base, Medina seeks to attract commercial and business developments along TH 55. Commercial development is a significant part of Medina's tax base plan. Map 3-1 illustrates the amount of taxes paid by residential and commercial properties in the City.

The 2013 median household income in Medina was $127,039, almost twice the median County household income. The mean household income in Medina is $234,041, which was 261 % of the mean County household income and more than three times the statewide mean household income. The contrast between the mean and the median household income levels in Medina is due to the high numbers of Medina households with incomes that exceed $200,000 per year.

The proportion of the population between the ages of 25 and 44 has dropped substantially; meanwhile, population ages 45 and older in Medina has grown by more than 12%. When planning future community facilities and housing options in the City, apparent age trends must be considered. As the population continues to age the demand for senior lifestyle housing and activities within the City will increase. School Enrollment In 2014, 1,646 residents in the City of Medina were enrolled in school. Of these residents 13.7% were enrolled in preschool or kindergarten, 47.4% were enrolled in elementary school, 26.4% were enrolled in high school and 12.5% are enrolled in college or graduate school.

The City undertook an extensive open space and natural resources initiative as a part of previous planning efforts. A. Lakes and Wetlands: Map 3-2 illustrates the Wetland Locations throughout Medina and is based on Hennepin County wetland data records. Nearly 35 percent of the land in Medina is wet, with many lakes, creeks and wetlands. These natural areas affect where and in what intensity development can occur within the City. Upland areas suitable for development need to be well planned to ensure that lakes, wildlife and wetlands are not adversely impacted. The City completed a Functional Assessment of Wetlands (FAW) in November 2007, which was developed to provide guidelines for regulating and protecting these wetlands, and a comprehensive inventory and assessment of existing wetland functions with the City. An overall wetland classification map was provided as part of the FAW and is referenced at the end of this section as Map 3-2. B. Floodplains: Map 3-3 identifies the FEMA designated floodplains found in Medina. Minnehaha Creek, Elm Creek and Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watersheds have floodplains that will limit development in Medina. Much of the floodplains cover the same area as wetlands. Limited portions of these floodplains may be used for development, if criteria for building elevations, flood proofing and filling can be met as outlined in the City's Floodplain Ordinance. C. Watershed District Boundaries: Map 3-4 identifies the boundaries of the three Watershed District Organizations and boundaries within Medina. Although not visible as landscape features, these boundaries are significant because they define the direction of surface water flow. The boundaries are commonly used as major parameters for development of sewer interceptor and trunk lines. Each of the watershed districts has its own regulations for land development, and some require watershed board approval of water management plans for development proposals. The City has designated itself as the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) responsible for reviewing development proposals affecting wetlands. D. Woodlands: Preservation of woodlands is important aesthetically, ecologically and functionally. Woodlands provide wildlife habitat, prevent soil erosion, absorb runoff, provide wind breaks, and define the patterns of streets and land use. E. Soils: The United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Survey and Soil Classifications are used to evaluate development proposals in Medina and to determine the capability of on -site septic systems. Rural residential lots are required to have sufficient soils suitable for a standard sewage disposal system as defined by Medina's Sewage Treatment and Disposal System Code. A significant portion of the rural residential area of Medina contains soils that are considered unsuitable for septic site development. General soil conditions, therefore, establish the intensity of unsewered development. Map 3-5 generally identifies the areas where suitable soils are present in Medina. Chapter 3 - Community Background DRAFT - November 2017 MEDINA Page 3 - 12 F. Topography: Topography and steep slopes in the City will impact future and current developments. Map 3-5 identifies areas considered as "Steep Slopes" and "Steep Slopes with Grades Greater than 18%." Management and maintenance of steep slopes and other topographic challenges will be critical to future development and growth plans.

Natural resources are the green infrastructure around which housing and neighborhoods in the City will develop. The availability of land in proximity to existing urban services provides an opportunity for a range of housing types and neighborhoods, while maintaining and protecting the existing ecological integrity of Medina's extensive natural areas. The following sections will provide general background information regarding housing trends, analysis and recommendations for diversifying neighborhoods and accomplishing the City's housing and neighborhood goals. Housing Inventory The following section provides a summary of the existing housing conditions in Medina and the foundation for developing the housing plan. This information has been obtained from a number of sources including the 2010 US Census, the 2015 Annual Housing Market Report from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors, and City Building Permit Information. Housing Supply The table below indicates that there were a total of 2,016 housing units in the City in 2014 consisting of 1,722 single family homes,110 townhomes and 184 multi -family units (multiplexes and apartments). Table 4-A Types of Housing Units (2014) Housing Type Number Percent Single Family detached 1,722 85.4% Townhomes (single-family attached) 110 5.5 % Duplex, triplex and quad (2-4 units) 23 1.1 % Multifamily (5 or more units) 161 8.0 % Mobile homes 0 0% Total Housing Units 2,016 100% Source American Community Survey 2010-2014 From 2010-2015, the City issued building permits for approximately 379 single family homes and 67 townhomes. No permits for multi -family units were issued from 2010 to 2015. Housing Tenancy In 2010, 93%of the housing units in Medina were owner -occupied and 7 percent were renter - occupied: Table 4-B Housina Tenure Housing Type Number of Units Percent Owner -occupied housing units 1,581 92.9% Renter -occupied housing units 121 7.1 % Total Occupied Units 1,702 100% Source: Census 2010 Housing Conditions and Age The table below shows that nearly 20% of Medina's housing stock was built between 2010 and 2015. Approximately 31 % of the housing stock in the City was built before 1980 and is older than 35 years. Almost half of the homes in Medina were built between 1980 and 2009.

Seventy percent of the homes within the City currently exceed 100% of the AMI, which is a value of $300,500. Twenty-one percent of owner occupied housing units would be considered affordable in the City of Medina (below 80% AMI).

This does represent a relationship between the number of households that are cost burdened (number of households minus the number of available units) within the 30% AMI and below and the 30% to 50% AMI affordable bands. This same relationship does not explain the number of cost burdened households in the 50% to 80% AMI range. There are 202 households making between $50,000 and $75,000 and 355 housing units available in the 50% and 80% AMI, which would lead to the conclusion that there should be no cost burdened households in the 50% to 80% AMI range. The 26 cost burdened households in the 50% to 80% AMI range may be due to households occupying the 50% to 80% AMI range housing units while making incomes greater than 80% AMI.

In 2015, this calculation resulted in a home with a value of approximately $240,500 being considered affordable. Chapter 4 - Housing and Neighborhoods DRAFT - November 2017 G T v p R IVIEDINA Page 4 - 4 Housing Needs According to Metropolitan Council projections, Medina is forecasted to need housing for an additional 951 households by 2040. As described above, existing housing stock is generally high quality. The City seeks to preserve and enhance this quality while planning for projected growth. Housing Objectives The following objectives are consistent with the goals and strategies identified in Section 2 of this Comprehensive Plan. 1. Preserve and enhance the quality of life currently enjoyed by the residents. 2. Provide opportunities for a diversity of housing at a range of costs to support residents at all stages of their lives. 3. Require housing that maintains the open space and natural resources of Medina. 4. Preserve and protect single family housing and the neighborhoods in which they are located; encourage upkeep and improvement of housing stock over time; require platting and design of new housing to be high quality and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and encourage conservation design in new housing stock. 5. Support high standards for quality multi -family development in appropriately zoned areas. 6. Establish new and existing housing design standards to: (a) require quality building and site design; (b) provide for recreation, parks and trails; (c) require open space and trails including links to adjacent neighborhoods, nearby trails, and area parks; (d) respect and protect the natural environment, especially the lakes, wetlands, steep slopes, and woodlands. 7. Require lots in new subdivisions to access a local street rather than a collector street, county road or state highway. S. Allow the use of conservation subdivision design to preserve rural character, preserve ecologically significant natural resources and retain open space 9. Require new urban residential development to be consistent with the City's Staging and Growth Plan. Chapter 4 - Housing and Neighborhoods DRAFT - November 2017 G A T Y 6 R IVI EDI NAB Page 4 - 5 Affordable Housing Plan The Metropolitan Council has identified affordable housing needs for all cities and townships in the region for 2021-2030. The housing element of each local comprehensive plan is required to reflect each community's share of this regional need for affordable housing. The Metropolitan Council has calculated the City of Medina's share of the 2021-2030 regional affordable housing need to be 244 total units. The table below indicates the expected need for affordable units in Medina by specific affordability level, with affordability based on percentage of Area Median Income (AMI). Table 4-J Affordable Housing Need Allocation (2021-2030) At Or Below 30% AMI 142 From 31 to 50 % AMI 102 From 51 to 80 % AMI 0 Total Units 244 Source: Metropolitan Council forecasts Consistent with Metropolitan Council policy, the City has met affordable housing requirements by planning for higher -density residential development. The following areas provide the primary locations for higher -density residential development: • 13.4 net acres are planned at a minimum of 12 units per acre at Highway 12 and Baker Park Road (projected minimum of 161 units). This area of the City provides the most practical access to transit via the nearby park and ride in the City of Maple Plain. • A minimum of 58 units are planned at a minimum of 8 units per acre within the Mixed Residential land use at Highway 55 and Tamarack Drive, and a minimum of 37 units are planned within the Mixed Residential land use at Medina Road and Brockton Lane. As described in the Implementation Chapter, the City will establish appropriate regulations for the Mixed Residential land use to allow a single, coordinated development to provide both high- and low -density development, to allow a high -density development to be constructed independently or to ensure that land is reserved for an independent development at a minimum of 8 units per acre if a low -density development is proposed. • Approximately 2.5 acres of property have been identified for development at density greater than 12 units per acre at the northeast corner of Highway 55 and County Road 101. This property currently contains single family homes. • The Uptown Hamel land use also permits higher -density residential development and additional construction is anticipated in this area. Uptown Hamel provides flexibility between commercial and residential uses and also for residential densities, so a minimum number of units meeting the density requirements may be difficult to forecast. However, the City anticipates that higher -density residential development will occur. The City supports creating a livable community through addressing the life cycle housing needs of area residents and the local workforce.

The City will consider supporting applications for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides CDBG funds to communities with over 45,000 residents for the use of providing and maintaining affordable housing. Hennepin County HRA administers these CDBG funds for the City of Medina. The City will consider applications that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. HOME Funds: The Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is a flexible federal grant program that allows Hennepin County to fund affordable housing activities for very low and low-income families or individuals, homeless families, and persons with special needs. Affordable Housing Incentive Funds (AHIF): AHIF funds are administered by the Hennepin County HRA. This loan program funds the development of affordable housing units for very low-income households. The City will consider supporting applications for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Grants: The NSP was established by HUD for the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. The focus of this program is the purchase, rehabilitation and resale of foreclosed and abandoned properties. The NSP grants are administered by the Hennepin County HRA. Homebuyer Assistance Programs: Homebuyer assistance programs funded directly by Hennepin County HRA are currently not available. Medina encourages residents to contact the Minnesota Homeownership Center regarding homebuyer assistance programs that are currently available. Repair and Rehabilitation Support: The Community Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH) provides home repair and rehabilitation assistance to Medina residents who meet the eligibility requirements. Foreclosure Prevention: The Community Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH) provides foreclosure counseling to Medina residents. Energy Assistance: The Community Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH) administers the energy assistance program for Medina residents who meet the eligibility requirements. Livable Communities Grants: Medina is a participating community in the Metropolitan Council's Livable Community Act (LCA) programs. Medina may, when applicable, apply for livable community grants on behalf of developers who provide a level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability that generates a public benefit greater than the Chapter 4 - Housing and Neighborhoods DRAFT - November 2017 G T y p R IVIEDINA Page 4 - 8 resources required to apply for and administer the livable community grants. The City will consider supporting applications for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. Local Fair Housing Policy: The Hennepin County HRA has a fair housing policy, which applies to the City of Medina. Fee Waivers or Adjustments: Cities may waive or reduce fees to reduce the cost of construction of affordable housing. Conversely, State rules require that city fees correlate to the cost of providing the services. This waiver or reduction could create a deficiency in the funding for services, causing the City to rely on general funds to make up the deficiency. The City will consider a fee waiver or reduction for projects for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI based upon factors such as the guaranteed length of affordability and how well the proposed project meets City objectives . Zoning and Subdivision Policies: The City has the ability to adjust its zoning and subdivision regulations through a planned unit development (PUD). The City currently provides zoning incentives such as increased density and potential staging plan flexibility for projects which incorporate affordable housing. The City will consider linking this flexibility to applications which provide housing towards the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50% AMI. Zoning and subdivision regulation are created in part to mitigate the impacts that a development may have on adjoining properties. When considering a PUD for affordable housing, the City should determine when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide a public benefit great enough to justify the potential impacts that would result from a deviation in the zoning or subdivision regulations. 4(d) Tax Program: The 4(d) tax program provides a 4% tax credit to affordable housing developers. This program is administered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Land Trusts: A land trust achieves affordable home ownership by owning the land on which a house is located, allowing the resident to seek financing only on the house. The resident enters into a long-term lease for the home to remain on the property. The advantage of a land trust is that the trust can control the future sale of the property to ensure that affordability can be maintained and have the ability to scatter the land trust sites throughout the community. The disadvantage of a land trust is that it will take significant financial resources to purchase the land rights and those resources are never recovered during the period that the property remains affordable. Medina may evaluate if joining the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust is the most efficient way to use its resources to provide affordable housing.

The City's extensive wetlands and limited infrastructure availability, together with past community planning, have contributed to its rural character. The metropolitan area is a high growth area. Medina's rural charm makes it an attractive alternative to the more intensely populated areas found closer to Minneapolis and St. Paul. This chapter discusses existing and future land use patterns in the City. 2016 Existing Land Uses TABLE 5-1 EXISTING LAND USES (2016) Land Use Acres Percent Agricultural 3,208.3 18.7% Golf Course 532.5 3.1 % Industrial and Utility 278.6 1.6 % Institutional 194.2 1.1 % Major Highway 83.1 0.5% Mixed Use Residential 6.8 0.0% Multifamily 17.5 0.1 % Office 38.9 0.2% Open Water 1,174.5 6.9% Park, Recreational, or Preserve 1,836.2 10.7% Railway 77.0 0.4% Retail and Other Commercial 186.6 1.1 % Rural Residential 4,447.1 26.0% Single Family Attached 44.1 0.3% Single Family Detached 916.1 5.4% Undeveloped 119.0 0.7% Wetlands 3,960.0 23.1 % Total 17,120.5 100% Agricultural Use includes farms and other parcels greater than five acres in size used primarily for agricultural, pasture and rural purposes. A large percentage of the City is designated as agricultural. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V o T MEDINA Page 5- 1 Residential Use is divided into four designations: Rural Residential consists of larger tracts of land and homesteads, including hobby farms, on parcels without City sewer and water service. The Rural Residential land use includes rural property which is currently vacant and is not planned for urban services. Single Family Detached includes detached single-family residential properties which are served with urban services. Single Family Attached includes attached single-family residential properties such as twin homes, duplexes, townhomes and rowhomes. Multifamily includes residential properties such as apartment buildings and condominiums. Mixed Use Residential Use identifies properties which include residential units upon the same property as a commercial use. Most of these uses are buildings in the Uptown Hamel area which include apartments above commercial or office space. Industrial and Utility Use is primarily in the TH 55 corridor and includes light industrial, warehouse, and manufacturing facilities. The use also includes utility uses throughout the community such as electric substations, water treatment facilities and the like. Retail and Other Commercial Use is primarily in the TH 55 and Highway 55 corridors and in the Uptown Hamel area. Park, Recreational or Preserve Use includes parks and public recreational and protected open space. Baker Park Reserve has a significant impact on planning due to its size and regional attraction, as well as its effect on the City's tax base and use. Golf Course Use includes existing golf courses. Institutional Use includes City, county, or state owned property, religious institutions, nursing homes, cemeteries, and other similar uses. Major Highway and Railway Uses identify land occupied by federal or state highways and railroad improvements. Undeveloped Use identifies areas that are currently vacant but have been subdivided in anticipation of a new development. Much of this land may currently be on the market. Sites which are actively in development are excluded from this use and designated as their approved land use. Wetlands, Lakes and Open Water Wetlands and lakes play an important role in the City because together they affect 30.2% of the City land and significantly impact the City's land use patterns. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 2 Natural Features and Areas The City contains many ecologically significant natural resource areas that provide value to all residents by providing natural beauty and wildlife habitat, improving water quality and adding to land values. These natural areas are described in further detail in the Open Space Report but merit discussion from a land use and development perspective. The City has an extensive network of wetlands and lakes that significantly impact the developable areas in the City. Woodland areas are located throughout the community, including a number of remnants of the Big Woods along with many other significant stands. The community has made conscious choices to preserve and protect the natural areas and to improve their quality. Because 35.4% of the land area in Medina is comprised of lakes and wetlands and many of these areas are under private ownership, it is critical for the City to educate residents about the importance of maintaining healthy wetlands, woodlands and lakes. These natural features comprise the City's green infrastructure system: the City's natural support system that promotes healthy sustainability of the community. As the City grows, the natural areas will be a critical element of every decision -making process. The City undertook an extensive natural resource and open space planning effort that will be the foundation for land use decisions. The Open Space Report indicates the ecologically significant areas that require protection and the areas that will be maintained as a part of the City's conservation network. Solar Access Protection Medina is committed to encouraging and promoting solar energy as a clean, alternative form of energy production and reducing carbon -based emissions. The Metropolitan Council has estimated the City's solar potential as follows: Gross Potential (Mwh/yr) Rooftop Potential (Mwh/yr) Gross Generation Potential (Mwh/yr)2 Rooftop Generation Potential (Mwh/yr)2 40,619,888 532,719 4,061,988 53,271 Map 5-1 displays the City's Solar Suitability Analysis Map. Protecting solar access means protecting solar collectors (or the location of future collectors) from shading by adjacent structures or vegetation. Existing structures and buildings in the City generally do not present significant shading problems for solar energy systems. Most single family attached and detached homes are one or two stories and most multi -family, commercial, and industrial buildings are two stories or less. Solar energy systems and equipment are generally a permitted use if attached to structures, and freestanding solar arrays are permitted with a conditional use permit in most districts. The zoning ordinance provides standards for the protection and establishment of these solar energy systems. While these ordinance standards help protect solar access, it is not possible for every part of a building or lot to obtain unobstructed solar access. Mature trees, topography, and the location Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V o A MEDINA Page 5- 3 of structures can limit solar access. However, on most properties the rooftop of the principal building would be free of shading by adjacent structures. Therefore, the majority of property owners in the City could utilize solar energy systems, if they so desired, as a supplement or alternative to conventional fuels. Historic Preservation The City of Medina currently does not have any sites or structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Medina has a strong interest in preserving representative portions of its history. The City previously worked with the West Hennepin Pioneer Museum to restore the Wolsfeld Family cabin which was originally built in 1856. It is thought to be one of the original homes in Medina. The City further commits to providing the following general guidelines related to historical preservation: • Partner with organizations that want to preserve historically significant areas, landmarks, and buildings in Medina; • Modify zoning regulations as necessary to help preserve areas that may be historically significant. Future General Land Use Policy Direction As described in the Vision Statement, the City of Medina strives to promote and protect its open spaces and natural environment. The City has historically been, and intends to continue to be, primarily a rural community. The City has planned for a limited amount of future development consistent with regional forecast and consistent with Community Goals. Future Land Use Plan Principles The Future Land Use Plan guides the development of Medina through 2040, and will be used to implement the City's goals, strategies and policies. The Plan is guided by the Vision and Community Goals as furthered by the following principles: Development Patterns and Neighborhood Form • Encourage open spaces, parks and trails in all neighborhood developments. The survey indicated that a high quality of life is found when residents have visual access to green spaces. • Create neighborhoods with a variety of housing types that are well connected with roads, trails or sidewalks. • Maintain the integrity of rural neighborhoods and promote development patterns consistent with existing rural residential development. • Recognize neighborhood characteristics and promote new development compatible in scale, architectural quality and style with existing neighborhoods. • Stage residential growth to minimize the amount of adjacent developments which occur within the same time period.

The map also highlights wetland areas within Medina which significantly affect land planning, development, and infrastructure decisions. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 6 Future Land Use Designations Rural Residential (RR) identifies areas for low -intensity uses, such as rural residential, hobby farms, agricultural, horticulture, conservation of ecologically significant natural resources and passive recreation. Density within the RR land use shall be no more than one lot per 10 acres and the area is not planned to be served by urban services during the timeframe covered by this Plan. Agricultural (AG) identifies areas which are planned for long-term agricultural uses. Density within the land use can be no more than one lot per 40 acres which will not be served by urban services. Property within this land use is eligible to be part of the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Program. Future Development Area (FDA) identifies areas which could potentially be planned for future urban development in the City that will be provided municipal sewer and water services. This area will remain rural unless and until designated for urban services in a future Comprehensive Plan update. The purpose of the FDA designation is to communicate the future planning intentions to the community. This designation is tentative and depends greatly on future infrastructure improvements, including to regional highway capacity. Low Density Residential (LDR) identifies residential land uses developed between 2.0 units per acre and 3.0.units per acre which are served, or are intended to be served, by urban services. The primary use in this area is single- and two-family residential development. Medium Density Residential (MDR) identifies residential land uses developed between 5.0 and 7.0 units per acre that are served, or are intended to be served, by urban services. The primary uses in this designation will be a mix of housing such as single family residential, twin homes, town homes, row homes, and small multiple family buildings. High Density Residential (HDR) identifies residential land uses developed between 12.0 and 15.0 units per acre that are served, or are intended to be served, by urban services. The primary uses will include town homes, apartment buildings and condominiums which should incorporate some open space or an active park. Mixed Residential (MR) identifies residential land uses that may be developed with a variety of housing styles at an overall average density between 3.5 and 4.0 units per net acre, within which a minimum of the units equivalent to 1.0 unit per acre are required to be developed at higher densities above 8.0 units per acre. Uses within the MR land use are served, or are intended to be served, by urban services. The land use provides flexibility for the type of housing to be developed, including detached single family, twin homes, townhomes and multiple family buildings. The MR land use will allow for different types of housing to be developed in coordination with each other or independently, provided the objectives related to overall density and minimum number of higher density housing units can be achieved within a defined area. Uptown Hamel (UH) the Uptown Hamel land use allows residential and commercial to be mixed on adjacent sites and to be mixed within the same building or property. Residential Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V o T MEDINA Page 5- 7 development in this designation may be between 4.0 and 15.0 units per acre. The Uptown Hamel area is served by urban services. Commercial (C) provides areas for highway oriented businesses and retail establishments including commercial, office and retail uses. These uses are concentrated along the arterial corridors and are served or will be served by urban services. Business (B) provides opportunities for corporate campus uses including office, warehouse, and light industrial. This designation identifies larger tracts of land that are suitable for office and business park developments and are served or will be served by urban services. Rural Commercial (RC) identifies commercial land uses which are not served by urban services, but rather by individual wells and septic systems. The scale of development in this land use shall be limited to protect water resources. Institutional (INST) identifies existing public, semi-public, and non-profit uses such as governmental, cemeteries, religious, educational and utilities. Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) identifies publicly owned or permanently conserved land which is used for park, recreational, or open space purposes. Private Recreation (PREC) identifies areas that are currently used for outdoor recreational uses which are held under private ownership but are not publicly maintained. Limited numbers of residential uses may be included or have previously been developed within this land use designation, accounting for no more than 10% of the land area. Density within the residential portion of the use shall be between 2.0 and 3.0 units per net acre where urban services are available and one unit per 10 acres where services are not available. The City does not anticipate additional residential development within the land use. Closed Sanitary Landfill (SL) identifies an existing closed sanitary landfill. The Woodlake Landfill is owned by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as part of Minnesota's Closed Landfill Program. The MPCA has jurisdiction over land use regulations of the landfill and has made available a description of the types, locations, and potential movement of hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants, or decomposition gases related to the facility in its Closed Landfill Plan. The City hereby incorporates such information and the City will provide such information as required by law. Average Net Residential Density Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 8 The Metropolitan Council has designated the portion of the City within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area as Emerging Suburban Edge. Residential development within the Emerging Suburban Edge designation is required to be planned for new development and redevelopment at average net density of at least 3-5 units per acre. The average net density for planned residential development in Medina is 3.22 units per acre as described in Table 5-3. TABLE 5-3 NET RESIDENTIAL DENSITY Future Land Use Planned Net Acreage Minimum Density Minimum Number of Units Low Density Residential 171.0 2.0 342.0 Medium Density Residential 21.3 5.0 106.5 High Density Residential 16.4 12.0 196.8 Mixed Residential 97.1 3.5 339.9 Total Planned Residential 305.8 985.2 Average Net Residential Density 3.22 Redevelopment is anticipated within the Uptown Hamel area and is likely to include additional residential units. The intent of the Uptown Hamel land use is to permit flexibility in the amount of residential and commercial development and is therefore not projected in Table 5-3. However, residential development within Uptown Hamel is required to exceed 4 units per net acre, which would further comply with Metropolitan Council minimum net density requirements. Employment Intensity Forecasts The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. Medina anticipates that new development in the Commercial and Business land uses will tend to result in 50-65% impervious surface coverage. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 9 Land Use Policies by Area The following section provides policies for land use designations and is categorized into generalized subsections. The policies for each category as provided below directly support the Community Goals and Land Use Principles. These designations are generalized land uses and are not specific zoning districts. The City will update the zoning ordinance and applicable codes to be consistent with the land use plan and designations identified in this section. The planning process revealed a strong interest in promoting high quality, sustainable development in the City. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) process for large scale or master plan types of development, regardless of whether they are residential, commercial or mixed -uses will be available and will be supported through zoning. Rural Designations The rural designations include Agricultural, Rural Residential and Future Development Area. A large percentage of the community falls into these categories. The purpose of these designations is to provide low -intensity land uses, such as rural residential, farming, hobby farms, horticulture, conservation of natural and ecologically significant natural resources and passive recreation. This area will not be provided with water or sewer service during the timeframe covered by this Plan. A significant segment of this area consists of large, rural parcels with single-family homes. The City recognizes that such low -density, development will continue to be a desired housing alternative. The City's goal is to maintain the rural character of this area. The Metropolitan Council System Statement shows the majority of this area as Diversified Rural, and the City utilizes the Rural Residential designation to be consistent with the System Statement. The Metropolitan Council has identified a significant portion of Medina's rural area in the Long-term Sewer Service Area (LTSSA) for the Blue Lake wastewater facility. The Metropolitan Council designates the LTSSA for the possibility of extension of urban services in the long-term, beyond 25 years in the future. Medina is required to identify the LTSSA in its Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council's LTSSA is identified in Map 5-5. The Metropolitan Council states that the LTSSA is to provide opportunities to efficiently extend urban services to accommodate long-term growth. The City believes that much of this area does not support efficient extension of urban services and the City seeks opportunities to remove property from the LTSSA. The following factors affect the efficiency of providing future urban services and are displayed on Map 5-6: • Wetlands, Topography, Regional Parks and Scientific Areas Wetlands occupy a significant portion of the area identified by the Metropolitan Council within the LTSSA, approximately 40%. This fact, along with topographical conditions, would make the provision of wastewater service inefficient. In addition, Baker Park and Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 1 Y o MEDINA Page 5- 10 the Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area occupy large portions of Medina's rural area, further separating any developable areas. • Historical development patterns Much of the LTSSA was developed with large -lot residential neighborhoods prior to the Metropolitan Council's LTSSA designation. These properties tend to include large homes with comparatively high home values, making the likelihood of redevelopment with urban services costly. The Metropolitan Council seeks density lower than 1 unit per 10 acres for efficient extension of wastewater service. As evidenced on Map 5-6, the vast majority of the LTSSA within Medina has been previously developed in a pattern that is denser than 1 unit per 10 buildable acres. As a result, much of the LTSSA does not provide opportunity for efficient extension of wastewater service. • Distance between regional infrastructure and City infrastructure The Metropolitan Council would need to extend wastewater service into the southern area of Medina if development were to occur in the future. The City's primary municipal water system is in the northern portion of Medina. One of these services would need to be extended inefficiently across the length of the City to be provided, or the City would need to establish a separate water system, which would not be efficient. In discussions with Metropolitan Council staff, the City has identified approximately 865 acres to be removed from the LTSSA in the southern portion of the City, because a similar acreage in the northwest corner of the City was added to the Blue Lake wastewater facility service area. The City will continue to seek opportunities to remove property from the LTSSA because of the factors noted above. The City's Open Space Report proposes several different implementation techniques for allowing open space development and planning to maintain rural character and simultaneously preserve significant natural resources. This result may take the form of innovative developments that clusters smaller lots on larger parcels with permanently conserved open space. Such innovative arrangements can help preserve the City's natural resources, open space and rural character, while still maintaining an average overall density of ten acres per unit. Medina's wetlands, lakes, scattered woodlands and soil conditions prevent smaller, unsewered lot development, but are ideal for low -density rural housing. Medina's policy in the permanent rural area is to keep strict soil requirements for septic sites, but allow flexibility for Open Space design developments and to ensure that the permanent rural area will remain rural by eliminating the need for future extension of a sanitary sewer service to replace failing systems. Objectives: 1. Allow low -density development in the Rural Residential Area including innovative arrangements of homes that preserve open space and natural resources. 2. Encourage conservation of open space, farms and ecologically significant natural resources in the rural areas. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V o T MEDINA Page 5- 11 3. Enforce stringent standards for the installation and maintenance of permanent, on -site sewage disposal systems. 4. Allow public facilities and services, such as parks and trail systems, if compatible with rural service area development. 5. Allow land uses, such as home -based businesses, hobby farms, horse stables, nurseries and other smaller -scale rural activities, which will not conflict with adjoining residential development. 6. Regulate noise, illumination, animals, and odors as needed to maintain public health and safety. 7. Maintain a maximum density of one unit per forty acres for property in the Agricultural land use. 8. Maintain a maximum density of one unit per ten acres for new development in the Rural Residential and Future Development Area land use. 9. Consider exceptions to maximum density standards for open space developments that protect natural features and put land into permanent conservation. Within the Metropolitan Council's long term sewer service area (see Map 5-5), these exceptions will not be allowed to result in development with a density in excess of one unit per ten gross acres. 10. Urban services will not be provided to the Agricultural, Rural Residential, or Future Development Area land uses during this planning cycle. 11. Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands and other significant natural characteristics. 12. Require that lots contain adequate soil types and conditions as defined in the City's on -site septic system requirements. 13. Protect property within the Future Development Area designation from subdivision and development by requiring ghost plats for subdivisions so that future urban expansion is not compromised. 14. Reduce impervious surfaces where possible by applying low impact design standards and encourage innovative materials and plans that reduce runoff. 15. Encourage and incentivize landowners to participate in the protection and conservation of significant natural resources. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 12 Urban Service Designations The Urban Service Area includes the residential and commercial areas of the City that are currently or will be served by municipal water and sewer services. Residential Uses Objectives: 1. Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands, and other significant natural characteristics of the property. 2. Consider exceptions to or modifications of density restrictions for developments that protect the natural features or exceed other standards of the zoning district. 3. Restrict urban development to properties within the sewer service boundary. 4. Regulate land within the Mixed Residential land use to provide opportunities for residential development with a density in excess of 8 units/acre. Flexibility is purposefully provided within the land use to support opportunities for a single project to provide both low- and high- density housing or for multiple developers to partner on independent projects within a Mixed Residential area. 5. Encourage green building practices such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) principles in neighborhood planning and residential building and low impact development design standards. 6. Regulate the rate and location of development in keeping with availability of public facilities and the City's stated goals, including the undesignated MUSA and growth strategies. 7. Restrict commercial and business development to areas designated in this Plan. 8. Protect property within the City's MUSA boundary from development prior to the provision of urban services that will hinder future division. 9. Create flexible zoning standards that would allow for innovative arrangements of homes, conservation easements, or other creative land use concepts that preserve the City's open space and natural features. 10. Promote attractive, well -maintained dwellings on functional, clearly marked roads, with adequate facilities and open space. 11. Emphasize resident and pedestrian safety. 12. Encourage a controlled mix of densities, housing types, age groups, economic levels, lot sizes, and living styles that are of appropriate scale and consistent with appropriate land use, market demands, and development standards. 13. Establish design criteria for platting and developing site plans which will be compatible with surrounding physical features, existing land uses and the preservation of Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G � Y d A MEDINA Page 5- 13 ecologically significant natural resources. 14. Establish standards for higher density residential development so that such development is compatible with surrounding uses. Such standards may include enclosed parking, green space, landscape buffering and height limitations. 15. Require utilities to be placed underground wherever possible for reasons of aesthetic enhancement and safety. 16. Plan interconnections between separate developments to encourage shared road use to reduce costs and minimize the amount of road surface required. 17. Require planning of trails and walkway systems in the early design stages of all new development so that residential areas are provided safe access to parks and open space. 18. In urban residential zones with sanitary sewer service permit higher density in PUD's in exchange for (1) reduced land coverage by buildings, (2) provision of more multi -family units; and, (3) sensitive treatment of natural resources. 19. Implement standards for lot sizes and setbacks which recognize the development characteristics and natural resources of each existing neighborhood. 20. Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to protect residential neighborhoods and to maintain public health and safety. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 14 Uptown Hamel The Uptown Hamel land use allows for a mix of residential and commercial uses to create a vibrant, walkable, and attractive place; a place to shop, work and live. Objectives: 1. Allow a mix of residential and commercial uses to co -exist on adjacent parcels as well as within the same structure or on the same parcel. Uptown Hamel is intended to provide flexibility in terms of residential and commercial uses. As a result, it is difficult to project future uses in the area, but it is estimated that approximately 40% of the land will be utilized for residential purposes, 40% for commercial uses, and 20% for office uses. 2. Consider alternatives for meeting parking requirements including parking in the rear of buildings, shared parking, on -street, underground, or ramp parking. 3. Use building standards that enhance and maintain the small town heritage and traditional small-town look including brick facades, traditional street lighting, and overhangs over the sidewalk, boardwalks, and the like. Establishment of design guidelines to support this objective. 4. Involve residents, businesses, community groups and other stakeholders in the planning of these areas. 5. Create master plans for mixed -use areas to ensure integration of uses and responsiveness to adjacent land uses. 6. Establish design criteria for platting and developing site plans which will be compatible with surrounding physical features, existing land uses and the preservation of ecologically significant natural resources. 7. Encourage underground or structured parking through flexibility to standards, including increased residential density up to 20 units per acre. 8. Emphasize resident and pedestrian safety. 9. Require utilities to be placed underground wherever possible for reasons of aesthetic enhancement and safety. 10. Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to maintain public health and safety. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 15 Commercial Uses The following objectives refer to commercial land uses which will provide a variety of retail products and services mixed with smaller offices. Objectives: 1. Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands, and other significant natural characteristics of the property. 2. Provide convenient and attractive shopping and services to meet the needs of City residents. 3. Encourage businesses that benefit the local community by providing employment opportunities offering convenience goods and services, utilizing high quality design, and having limited impact on public services. 4. Require commercial activities that serve the broader metropolitan market to have access to a regional highway or frontage road. 5. Regulate the impact of commercial development along the border between commercially and residentially guided areas to ensure that commercial property has a minimal impact on residential areas. 6. Regulate construction to ensure high quality, energy and resource efficient buildings and to promote such Green Building standards as LEED Certifications or the State of Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines: Buildings, Benchmarks and Beyond (B-3) standards. 7. Encourage construction that enhances the visual appeal of TH 55 corridor and the rural vistas and open spaces of the City. 8. Establish standards for the commercial area north of TH 55 at Tamarack Drive which results in a high quality, walkable and appropriately scaled development which complements nearby residential neighborhoods, emphasizes goods and services for local residents over highway users and provides gathering opportunities for the community. 9. Require frontage roads that do not directly access arterial roadways and limit access to arterial and collector roadways. 10. Limit the scale of commercial development where urban services are not available to protect water resources and to integrate such uses with surrounding rural lands. 11. Use the site plan review process to ensure that commercial and industrial uses are compatible with neighboring future and existing uses, and with the adjoining public streets and highways. PUD's may be used to help accomplish this policy. 12. Emphasize pedestrian safety. 13. Require utilities to be placed underground wherever possible for reasons of aesthetic enhancement and safety. 14. Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to maintain public health and safety. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G , Y ti MEDINA Page 5- 16 Business Uses The following objectives refer to business land uses that are connected to or planned for urban services. Businesses in this use generally include office complexes, business park development, warehouse and light industrial opportunities. Objectives: 1. Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands, and other significant natural characteristics of the property. 2. Encourage businesses that benefit the local community by providing employment opportunities utilizing high quality design, and having limited impact on public services. 3. Consider permitting uses such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities where suitable, subject to appropriate requirements related to density, ensuring compatibility between uses, and preventing the use from being predominantly independent -living residential in nature. 4. Regulate the impact of development along the border between business and residentially guided areas to ensure that business uses have a minimal impact on residential areas. 5. Regulate construction to ensure high quality, energy and resource efficient buildings and to promote such Green Building standards as LEED Certifications or the State of Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines: Buildings, Benchmarks and Beyond (B-3) standards. 6. Encourage construction that enhances the visual appeal of TH 55 corridor and the rural vistas and open spaces of the City. 7. Create or update standards that promote a more rural appearance, or create campus style developments that protect ecologically significant areas and natural features. 8. Require frontage roads that do not directly access arterial roadways and limit access points to collector and arterial roadways. 9. Use the site plan review process to ensure that commercial and industrial uses are compatible with neighboring future and existing uses, and with the adjoining public streets and highways. PUD's may be used to help accomplish this policy. 10. Emphasize pedestrian safety. 11. Require utilities to be placed underground wherever possible for reasons of aesthetic enhancement and safety. 12. Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to maintain public health and safety. Chapter 5 - Land Use & Growth DRAFT- November 2017 G T V 6 , MEDINA Page 5- 17 Staging Plan The staging plan is tied to infrastructure plans, including water, wastewater and transportation, to ensure that growth and development are commensurate with services necessary to support new residents and businesses in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The staging plan, Map 5-5, utilizes flexible staging boundaries to direct where and when development should proceed within the City and is built on the following principles: • Growth should encompass a balance of land uses to provide residential and business areas for development throughout the planning period. The staging plan also is intended to reduce concentration of development within a location during a particular timeframe. • The staging plan identifies staged increments of 5-year periods and provides some flexibility between adjacent staging periods. Development shall be limited to a maximum of two years prior to the existing staging period, and will be tied to an incentive based points system. Table 5-5, located on the following page, describes the net acreage of the various land uses by Staging Period. The following table describes the corresponding number of residential units which could be developed upon property within each Staging Period. Although most of the property staged for development is available in earlier timeframes, the City anticipates that actual growth will be more linear as described in the forecasts in Chapter 3.

The amount and quality of open spaces in Medina is consistently identified as one of the most important characteristics of the City and the protection of these spaces is paramount within the City's Vision and Community Goals. Objectives The City of Medina Vision seeks to "sustain and enhance the quality of life of its residents," "protect...significant natural resources and open spaces throughout the City," "foster....places of recreation and destinations for citizens to gather." In addition, Community Goals include: • "Preserve rural vistas, open spaces, and wetlands in all parts of the community to promote the rural character of Medina." • "Protect and enhance the environmental and natural resources throughout the community." • "Promote public and private gathering places and civic events that serve the entire community." • "Preserve and expand trails and parks to provide community recreational facilities, connect neighborhoods and encourage healthy lifestyles of its residents." The following objectives support the Vision and Goals and guide the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan. • Improve and expand existing facilities, improve accessibility, correct problems or conflicts if they occur, and provide expanded recreational opportunities, all in a manner which can be fiscally sustained within the community in the long term. • Establish parks within approximately lh mile of new urban residential development to provide residents convenient access to recreational activities. In furtherance of this objective, preference will be given to land acquisition when determining parkland dedication and in some cases such land may need to be reserved even if existing funds are not immediately available for development of the park. • Provide a system of trails which serve not only recreational purposes, but also connect residents with community destinations in order to support healthy lifestyle and opportunities for non -motorized transportation. • Make a variety of recreational opportunities available for residents. • Explore options for securing private funding of parks and trails such as providing naming rights, soliciting individual donations, establishing a charitable trust, or through other means recommended by the Park Commission and approved by the City Council. • Partner with recreational organizations within and adjacent to the City in order to provide recreational activities in a cost-effective manner. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space DRAFT - November 2017 MEDIN►4 Page 6 - 1 Metropolitan Council's Parks, Trails, and Open Space System The Metropolitan Council components of a parks, trails, and open -space system will be the basis for analyzing existing park facilities and for determining proposed park development within Medina.

I Metropolitan Council's Recreation Standards 2 Definition adjusted by the City. 4 A grouping of neighborhoods, not a unit of government. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space DRAFT - November 2017 G T V t MEDINA Page 6 - 2 The Metropolitan Council Classification System describes a Neighborhood Park/Playground being designed to serve a population of 4,000-5,000 within approximately one-half mile. Because of the comparatively lower -density development pattern purposefully planned within the City, this definition has been adjusted for the sake of designing the local park system. Neighborhood parks in Medina are designed to serve a smaller population of 200-1,000 from a wider geographical area. Medina's Existing System Map 6-1 shows the locations of all parks, trails, and open space making up the City's existing system, and Table 6-2 lists the City's parks and facilities. These active park areas, playfields and programs should serve the City's residents adequately for the foreseeable future. A. Regional Parks Medina's park system includes one county facility, Baker Park Reserve and one state facility, Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). These facilities play a significant role in the City's and Metropolitan's park system. Providing both active and passive recreational opportunities and fulfilling some of the local need for community parks and conservancy lands. B. Local Parks The City's park system presently includes the following sites. The facilities offered by each park can be seen in Table 6-2. 1. Hamel Legion Park is the City's primary community park and the largest in the City's system at almost 40 acres in size. The park is located south of Uptown Hamel on the east boundary of the City. The park was developed through invaluable partnerships with local organizations and includes many amenities which serve the entire community. 2. The Park at Fields of Medina is approximately 10.5 acres in size and is intended to primarily serve the area including Fields of Medina, Bridgewater, Foxberry Farms, and the Villas at Medina Country Club. 3. Medina Morningside Park is 2.4 acres in size and primarily serves the Medina Morningside, Keller Estates, and Deerhill Preserve area. 4. Hunter Lions Park is 6.8 acres in size and primarily serves the area south and west of Uptown Hamel, including the Enclave, Tuckborough Farms, Hunter Farms and Elm Creek Addition. 5. Lakeshore Park - Independence Beach (2975 Lakeshore Ave.) is less than 1 acre in size and primarily serves the Independence Beach area of the City. 6. Walnut Park - Independence Beach (4653 Walnut St.) is a half -acre drainage area also used seasonally as a park primarily to serve the Independence Beach area of the City. 7. Maple Park is 2.5 acres in size and primarily serves the Independence Beach area of the City. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space DRAFT - November 2017 MEDIN►4 Page 6 - 3 8. Tomann Preserve is a 16 acre nature area comprised of wetlands and uplands which were historically located in what is called the "Big Woods' ecosystem as part of the deciduous forest biome. 9.

The City Hall Site is 9.2 acres in size and is centrally located in the City, serving the entire City as the site for Medina's City Hall. A portion of the property commemorates the memory of the early settlers of Medina, including a reconstruction of the original Wolsfeld log cabin built in 1856 as a museum owned and operated by the Western Hennepin County Pioneer Association. 15. Private Mini -Parks and Pocket Parks Foxberry Farms, Tuckborough Farms, Northridge Farms, The Enclave, The Reserve, and Medina Townhomes all have parks that are owned and maintained by the respective homeowners associations and augment the City's park system. C. Quasi Public Facilities Quasi -public facilities serve the recreational needs of the City and are important to take into account, including the following: 1. Baker National Golf Course is approximately 336 acres in size and is included in the Baker Park Reserve. Many residents use this course which is regarded as one of the best public courses in the Metro Area. It also has winter recreational activities including, skiing, snowshoeing and a sliding hill. The property is a National Audubon certified golf course because of its wildlife -friendly management. 2. Medina Golf and Country Club is a 225-acre private golf course in the north eastern section of the City. A number of City residents and businesses are members of this club. 3. Spring Hill Golf Club is a private golf course of which a 48.3 acre portion is located in the south central part of the City. The club house and most of the golf course are located in the City of Orono. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space DRAFT - November 2017 L T V O t MEDINA Page 6 - 4 D. Trails The City's trail system consists of a combination of city, county, regional, and private trails. The City is acquiring trail dedications and easements as development occurs. County trails are located along CR 24 and CR 19 and also include an extensive multi -use trail system within the Baker Park Reserve (see Map 6-1). The Northwest Trails Association operates an extensive snowmobile trail system, part of which is located in Medina. Private horse trails, not shown on the map, are available through parts of the City and involve many private landowners. It is operated and maintained by volunteers and "gentlemen's" agreements. Medina's horse trails are an important part of its rural culture. Several of Medina's current or proposed trails connect with surrounding cities. The City of Medina will strive to connect with these surrounding trails. E. Other The organizations and playfields listed below provide additional recreational opportunities to Medina residents and help supplement the City of Medina's park system. 1. Hamel Athletic Club provides youth baseball recreational opportunities to Medina residents as well as to residents of surrounding cities. 2. Hamel Hawks provides an adult baseball program to Medina residents as well as to residents of surrounding cities. 3. The Loretto Playfield serves a number of organized teams in the region and has a playground area. 4.

The plan addresses the following three specific areas of need: 1. Completion, improvement, and maintenance of existing park and trail facilities. 2. Acquisition, upgrading, and development of neighborhood facilities to provide open spaces for active and passive recreational activities and fields for organized sports. 3. Development of a coordinated trail system. Completion and Improvement of Existing Facilities The City has identified improvements for existing facilities within its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and also maintains a Parks and Trails Master Plan to monitor and address needs. Future Parks The park plan, as shown on Map 6-1, proposes three additional neighborhood parks in order to support planned future residential development. Land for these parks will predominantly obtained through park dedication during the development process. These parks will be sized and improvements planned according to the population likely to be served by each. The plan also identifies two potential expansions of existing parks in the city which will be considered as opportunities arise. Future Trails The trail plan, as shown on Map 6-1, proposes a network of multi -purpose trails. Although many of the trails are identified along road corridors, the City's objective is to separate the trails from the roadway where possible. Trails will connect points of interest throughout the City and provide access to natural areas. The plan also includes a proposal to create a pedestrian bridge over TH 55 which, while not in present City funding plans, could become an important link in the trail system as the City develops. The City's network of trails will tie into the proposed trails in neighboring communities, including Corcoran, Independence, Maple Plain, Orono and Plymouth. The Metropolitan Council's Regional Parks Policy Plan identifies two regional trail corridors within the City of Medina. The Trails Map (6-1) displays these search areas. Existing City trails in the vicinity of these corridors provide opportunities to complete these regional connections by transferring ownership of the segments to Three Rivers Park District. Open Space Medina's 2007 Open Space Report Medina's Open Space Task Force created an Open Space Report, which is not made part of this Plan and is available for review at the City of Medina City Hall. A summary of the report follows. Chapter 6 - Parks, Trails, & Open Space DRAFT - November 2017 MEDIN►4 Page 6 - 7 Goals are to: 1. Preserve the ecological integrity of Medina's natural infrastructure that filters and cleanses run-off, prevents soil erosion and aides in maintaining healthy lakes and water resources; 2. Preserve the City's rural character, in which natural resources are the main feature of the landscape; and 3. Provide an option to landowners to preserve natural infrastructure, without adverse economic consequences. Principles to guide implementation of an Open Space Report are to: 1. Educate and to promote stewardship and preservation of natural resources to the public, land -owners and developers and raise awareness of the economic and environmental benefit of preserving natural resources; 2. Co -coordinate conservation efforts with other agencies, such as watersheds, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park and non -governmental bodies, like the Minnesota Land Trust, Embrace Open Space and Pheasants Forever. 3. Require permanently conserved land to be held in an easement by an outside agency, such as the Minnesota Land Trust, a watershed district or similar entities; 4. Maintain land values and cause no economic harm to landowners or developers; 5. Use incentives to encourage open space developments; and 6. Make Open Space Design an option across all zoning districts where natural features exist. Definition of Open Space Design: Open Space Design is, in effect, golf course development without a golf course where development occurs around natural features, such as wetlands, woodlands, or farmland. The ecological integrity of natural areas is permanently conserved by a conservation easement, held and overseen by an outside agency. Buildings are clustered in a central location on smaller lots, and the dedicated open space is typically held under common ownership. Recommended Tools to Implement Open Space Design: 1. Incentives— develop a system, including a scale of points for best management practice and conservation design that can earn bonus building units. Such systems have been developed by other communities. 2. Regulation —natural resource performance standards; 3. Public ownership — purchase of development rights (a PDR program;); and 4. Park & trail dedication —draft flexibility into park and trail dedication ordinance.

The City intends to review these official controls for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan within nine months of adopting the Plan as required by State law. The City will also make any changes which are necessary to make the official controls consistent with the Plan within this timeframe. The City has identified that the following changes may be necessary to make the official controls consistent with the Plan: 1) Create standards for development within the Mixed Residential Land Use. 2) Amend official controls to achieve consistency with updated density requirements for Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential land uses. 3) Amend official zoning map for property for which a Future Land Use Map was amended. 4) Amend the Uptown Hamel zoning districts to achieve consistency with more flexibility allowed in the land use related to residential development. 5) Review Commercial zoning standards to ensure commercial development at Highway 55 and future Tamarack Drive is appropriately scaled. 6) Review stormwater and environmental protection regulations. Mixed Residential Land Use Standards will need to be established for development within the Mixed Residential Land Use to ensure that such development is consistent with the objectives and policies of the use. Specifically, standards will need to require that a portion of the development provide for Chapter 7 - Implementation DRAFT - November 2017 G y T. Y 0 fi M EIS I N,A Page 7 - 1 residential development with a net density of 8 units/acre or greater and will provide for guidance to incorporate such density into surrounding neighborhoods which will likely be developed at lower densities. The regulations will be intended to allow a portion of the Mixed Residential site to be reserved for higher density residential development as a separate development if a portion of the site is developed at lower densities. Updated Density Requirements The Medium Density and High Density Residential land uses are proposed to provide for development at densities of 5-7 units/acre and 12-15 units/acre respectively. The ranges are different from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. As a result, the standards of various districts will need to be adjusted. The City will review the standards of the R2, R3, R4, and R5 districts and make necessary changes for consistency with the corresponding land use. Amend Official Zoning Map The Future Land Use of various properties is proposed to be amended in the updated Comprehensive Plan. The City will review the existing zoning map and make appropriate amendments. Uptown Hamel Existing standards for the Uptown Hamel area contemplate a large amount of high density residential development. Over the past decade and a half, the market has not demanded this amount of this type of residential development. The updated Comprehensive Plan, while still allowing for fairly high density residential development, provides more flexibility for the density of commercial and residential development in the area. The hope is that this flexibility will spurn redevelopment in the area. The City should establish architectural design standards for the area to create a more cohesive area. Commercial Standards The City should review existing standards within the Commercial zoning districts and amend as necessary to ensure that development is appropriately scaled with surrounding uses and also that development will protect and improve on the rural vistas and open spaces along Highway 55 and other arterial roadways within the City. Environmental Protection Regulations The City should review existing standards related to stormwater management, wetland protection, woodland protection, and other environmental matters to ensure that the regulations stay in line with current mandates and practices to protect the natural resources of the community. Infrastructure Planning and Capital Improvement Plan The Parks/Trails/Open Space, Transportation and Water Resources elements of the Comprehensive Plan all identify improvements which were determined to be necessary to support implementation of the Plan. The City will review this information and verify expected costs of these improvements. The City utilizes a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to inform budgetary decisions on an annual basis to plan for infrastructure and large equipment expansions as well as replacement of existing assets. Because many of the improvements identified in this Plan are not necessary within a 5-year time horizon, each of the elements Chapter 7 - Implementation DRAFT - November 2017 G, 5 Y O F MEDINA Page 7 - 2 include a longer -term CIP. Items from these elements will be incorporated into the City's 5-year CIP when necessary and appropriate. Water Supply and Wastewater Generally, the City intends to utilize revenues from connection fees charged upon development to pay for expansions and improvements to the wastewater and water supply systems. Bonds may be issued as necessary to allow time for these fees to be collected to pay for the improvements. Parks/Trails/Open Space The City predominantly utilizes park dedication fees for park/trail/open space improvements in addition to contributions from local athletic and nonprofit groups. The City has also received grant funding for projects and land donations for parks and will continue to search for such opportunities, and will explore additional options including, but not limited to: naming rights, soliciting donations, establishing charitable trusts. Surface Water The City has historically been a strong leader in water quality activities. Substantial projects have been constructed at the Loretto Ballfields, Ardmore Avenue/Pine Street, and at Tower Drive/Hamel Road which have resulted in substantial water quality and quantity benefits. The City has received grants to support many of these projects and has also invested heavily through funds and in -kind contributions of staff and equipment. The City intends to utilize stormwater utility funds to support future improvements in connection with available grant financing.

An important part of the Comprehensive Plan is the Sanitary Sewer Plan, which describes the existing sewer system and outlines the timing and sequence of future projects. The Sanitary Sewer Plan allows the City and Metropolitan Council to build and improve their sanitary sewer collection and treatment systems so that development can occur in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. This document serves as the sanitary sewer component for the City of Medina's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The City of Medina's Sanitary Sewer Plan was developed to align with the Metropolitan Council's Thrive MSP 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. The Thrive MSP 2040 Plan was approved in May 2015 and outlines regional goals for the wastewater system, including environmental sustainability; water reuse; and water conservation. Additionally, the Thrive MSP 2040 Plan includes population, household, and employment projections alongside projected wastewater flows. As a result of projected population increases and land use changes in Medina, the City estimates wastewater flows will increase significantly between 2010 and 2040. This Sanitary Sewer Plan outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council can expect to see increased wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity upgrades will be required at regional wastewater treatment plants and interceptors. It is also a guiding document for City infrastructure improvements and expansion. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 1 CITY DESCRIPTION The City of Medina is located in western Hennepin County and is bordered by Plymouth on its east, Corcoran on its north, Independence and Maple Plain on its west, and Orono on its south. Wastewater flows from Greenfield and Independence are also conveyed through Medina. The City of Loretto is 185 acres and is completely contained within Medina. The City of Medina is primarily residential and agricultural, though approximately 38% of the City is covered by lakes, wetlands, and floodplains. Medina has been designated primarily as a diversified rural community. This designation indicates that the Metropolitan Council expects that the majority of Medina will maintain a "rural lifestyle" and may become urbanized after 2040. The northeast area of the City is designated as an emerging suburban edge, signifying that it is in the early stages of transitioning into urbanized development. For the last decade, Medina's emerging suburban edge has been a region of focus in regards to the expansion and maintenance of municipal services. Thus, the Comprehensive Sewer Plan will focus heavily on the needs and future plans of the northeast region of Medina. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 2 EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM Public Collection Systems The existing sanitary sewer system of Medina has four service districts: Elm Creek, Maple Plain, Morningside, and Plymouth. The largest service area is the Medina Elm Creek system. This system is located in the northeast region of the city surrounding Highway 55 and discharges to the Elm Creek Interceptor, which then leads to the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in St. Paul. The other three service areas of Medina are significantly smaller than the Medina Elm Creek system and are located on the west, south, and east borders of the city. A map of the existing sanitary sewer system is shown in Figure 1. The service area located on the western border of Medina is the Maple Plain district, located along the eastern shore of Lake Independence. This system discharges to Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Interceptor 8352 via MCES lift station L63 in Maple Plain and is ultimately served by the Blue Lake WWTP in Shakopee. The third sewage service district is Morningside, located on the southern border of Medina. The Morningside system discharges to Interceptor 8352 via MCES lift station L60 in Orono. From Interceptor 8532, the sewage from the Maple Plain and Morningside districts is directed to the Blue Lake WWTP in Shakopee. The fourth, and smallest, sewer district is the Plymouth district, located on the eastern border of Medina along Holy Name Lake. The Plymouth district sewage is connected to the City of Plymouth sewer system, which is fed to the Metropolitan WWTP. The four sewer service areas as well as their subsewersheds are illustrated in Figure 2. Public Treatment Systems Within the City, there is one on -site treatment system that serves the City of Loretto. Medina does not have involvement with the operations of Loretto's sanitary sewer system; it is operated entirely by Loretto. Private Treatment Systems There are currently 702 known individual sewage treatment systems (ISTSs or septic systems) within the City of Medina, as shown in Figure 3. This value has stayed constant since the 2008 Comprehensive Plan development: there were 705 septic systems in the City in 2008. The City Code addresses septic systems in Section 720. The ordinance mandates that septic systems meet Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requirements. Defined in the provisions are sizing requirements, technical standards, abandonment requirements, solids removal frequency, and floodplain and groundwater avoidance.

These forecasts serve to help cities prepare infrastructure for growth and to promote continued maintenance of municipal infrastructure. The forecast data in Tables 1 and 2 is from the Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook Community Page for Medina. Table 1 forecasts the City population and Table 2 forecasts sewered and unsewered populations in the City. Table 3 forecasts the sewered populations based on MCES WWTP and Interceptor. The data shown in Table 3 in the tables was developed using the City's population projections in conjunction with the future land use map. For sanitary sewer infrastructure planning, the midpoint of density ranges for each land use type were used rather than the minimum in order to be conservative. Table 1. Population Projections, City of Medina Total Sewered Year Population Households Employment Population Households Employment 2010 4,892 1,702 3,351 2,864 670 3,146 2015* 5,967 2,111 4,823 3,960 1,005 3,963 2020 6,600 2,300 4,980 4,814 1,340 4,750 2025* 7,150 2,570 5,140 5,236 1,630 4,960 2030 7,700 2,840 5,300 5,658 1,920 5,170 2035* 8,300 3,120 5,400 6,208 2,110 5,275 2040 8,900 3,400 5,500 6,758 2,300 5,380 *Interpolated value From the data in Table 1, it can be observed that from 2010 to 2040, the households population is expected to almost double. Furthermore, the employment population is projected to grow by approximately 64% by 2040. The Metropolitan Council's forecasts show that the number of sewered households is anticipated to more than triple by 2040. The sewered employment population is anticipated to increase by approximately 75% by 2040. The sewered projections by MCES Interceptor and WWTP shown below are taken from the Metropolitan Council's forecasts and altered to reflect the locations in the City where Medina is expecting to develop.

It is projected that the population served will increase by 2,000 individuals from 2020 to 2040. The largest percent increase in Medina will be in the employment population served by the Blue Lake WWTP; from 2020 to 2040, the employment population served by the Blue Lake WWTP will increase by approximately 1500/0. The residential area served by the Blue Lake WWTP is expected to add 160 high density residential units, which account for the population increase in this area from the existing 610 individuals served. This development will replace existing commercial property, thereby decreasing the number of employees in the Blue Lake WWTP service area. Land Use Currently, the City of Medina has four general land use regions: park/recreational/preserve, undeveloped/agricultural, mixed use retail/commercial/industrial, and residential. The Baker Park Reserve, operated by the Three Rivers Park District, incorporates the majority of the southwestern region of Medina. Regions of undeveloped land alongside agricultural land exist through the majority of the central and southeastern region of the city. Many of these land -type users have private sewage systems. The two land uses of mixed use retail/commercial/industrial and housing are located in the northeastern region of the city and are the most populous users of the public sewage system. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 8 Wastewater Flows Table 3 shows the wastewater flow projections by wastewater treatment plant. The forecasts are based on 75 gallons per day (gpd) per person and 25 gpd per employee. The Metropolitan Council initially planned to serve the northwestern part of Medina, as well as Loretto and Corcoran, via the Elm Creek Interceptor northeast of the City boundary. The Metropolitan Council now plans to serve this portion of Medina, along with the two other communities, with the Blue Lake Plant via Maple Plain. Therefore, Medina is not planning to receive wastewater flows from Corcoran in its future system, while flows from Loretto are assumed in the future calculations to allow for flexible timing with the connection to the Blue Lake Plant.

These flows are included in Table 3 along with existing flows from Greenfield and Independence. Private Systems A significant area of Medina falls under the designation of diversified rural communities. Diversified rural communities are characterized by farm use, large -lot residential, clustered housing, and regional parks. These communities are often located adjacent to emerging suburban edges, as is the case in Medina. The Metropolitan City Council "discourages urbanized levels of residential development in diversified rural communities to avoid the premature demand for expansion of metropolitan systems and other urban public services" (Thrive MSP 2040). Thus, the majority of Medina's diversified rural community continues to use private treatment systems. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 9 SANITARY SEWER DESIGN CRITERIA Land Use The City's existing and 2040 land -use maps were used in the development of this plan. Detailed information and figures regarding Medina's land use is included in the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan in Chapter 5: Land Use and Growth. Using existing land -use, metering data, and future land use information, current and ultimate flows were calculated and divided by subsewershed as described below. Estimated Average Flows - Existing To estimate the flows in trunk mains throughout the City, metering data was retrieved from the Metropolitan Council. The Elm Creek Area of the City is metered by the Metropolitan Council via meter number 242. To more precisely evaluate flows within the Elm Creek sewershed, flows were assigned within each subsewershed based on development. Flows were assigned proportionally based on the number of residences, businesses, and industrial establishments connected to the sanitary sewer system. Estimated Average Flows - 2040 Build Out Once average flows were estimated, future flows were projected based on the 2040 land use map. Parcels that are planned to be developed were assigned wastewater flow rates in accordance to their land use type. The assigned flows are shown and include design considerations for inflow and infiltration (I/1). See the Inflow and Infiltration Section for more information about I/I as it relates to Medina's sanitary sewer system. Table 4.

In locations in which development will lead to pipes that are under capacity, recommendations are made to address the issue. Areas that will need to be served in the future were evaluated to determine the required sewer diameter. Peak Flow Factors To ensure that the sanitary sewer system is capable of handling flow fluctuations throughout the day, peak flow factors are assigned based on average flows. The peak factors are outlined by the Metropolitan Council and are based on average flow volumes. Pipes that serve small generator customers are more likely to experience large fluctuations in flows. Therefore, the peak factor decreases as average flow increases. The Metropolitan Council flow factors used in this report are shown in Figure 4 below. The factors also include I/I. Figure 4.

There is also one business in Plymouth that is served by Medina's sanitary sewer system. During the 2030 Comprehensive Planning cycle, the Metropolitan Council was planning to serve Loretto and southwest Corcoran with the Elm Creek interceptor in eastern Medina. At this time, the Council has altered its plans so that these areas will be served via Maple Plain and the Blue Lake WWTP. The existing flow estimates for Medina include sewage discharge from these communities. However, the ultimate design flows do not plan for any increases through the neighboring Cities because of the aforementioned change in Council plans. Because the timing of this change is unknown, the design flows for Medina include the existing flows as a base for conservative design. Out of Medina In addition to the interceptor in Maple Plain that receives flows from the western portion of the City, Medina sends wastewater to Orono and Plymouth as well. The Morningside sewer district, consisting of approximately 104 residential lots, sends its wastewater south to Orono. Plymouth serves 16 homes, a church, and a school on the eastern side of Medina. The connection is unmetered. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 12 SANITARY SEWER TRUNK RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed future sewer system for the City of Medina, including subsewersheds, gravity mains and forcemains, and required lift stations, is shown in Figure 5. The required infrastructure additions were determined based on the areas the City is planning to develop by 2040. By evaluating topography and existing sewer invert elevations, the locations of future lift stations were approximated. The length of forcemain was minimized to the greatest extent possible to reduce construction costs. This report includes only oversized sewer lines (greater than 8") and does not depict lateral lines. The design and siting for lateral lines should be completed in conjunction with development plans and platting. The location of such lines will be dependent on parcel layout and the design of new roads. It is possible that small scale lift stations will be required within developments. The exact alignment of the proposed mains and lift stations may change during the design phase of each project. The purpose of this report is to provide the City with a document that can be used to plan for large infrastructure additions and replacements. Elm Creek District The Elm Creek District is the area along Highway 55 that is ultimately served by the Metropolitan WWTP. This interceptor collects sewage from the area of the City that is primarily expected to develop. The estimated 2040 flows are shown in Table 5. The land -use types and acreages of the properties expected to develop are shown in Figure 6. Table 5.

The lift station is expected to be required on Highway 55 near Rolling Hills Road. It is likely that a second lift station will be required to serve the property Willow Drive north of Cates Ranch Drive. However, this will be a private lift station that the developer will be responsible for funding. The remainder of the trunk system that will be required to serve future development is planned to consist of approximately 1,600 feet of city -funded gravity main, 1.8 miles of overdepth pipe, and 700 feet of forcemain. The timing and estimated cost of future improvements are tabulated in the "Cost Estimates and Financing" section. In the eastern area of the Elm Creek District, just upstream of the Metropolitan Council interceptor, exists a bottleneck in which a 350 feet long 8" diameter pipe serves 382 homes as well as 5 acres of business development. To address capacity issues and ensure that future development in the southern part of the Elm Creek District can be served, this pipe should be upsized to at least a 10" diameter main, or a parallel 8" main should be installed. In the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, it was anticipated that a parallel pipe would be required along Highway 55. Because the City did not develop as predicted and because the City is no longer planning to receive flow from Loretto and Corcoran through this pipe, it is not expected that the City will need to install a parallel main on Highway 55 between Willow Drive and Chippewa Drive. Maple Plain District The Maple Plain district is located on the western edge Medina. The district includes the Independence Beach, Sycamore Trail, and Park Ridge Acres neighborhoods, as well as the property at the northeast corner of Highway 12 and County Road 29. The cities of Independence and Greenfield also currently discharge flow into this district through a Tri-City Agreement with Medina. The Metropolitan Council intends to extend an interceptor along County Road 19 to serve the cities of Independence, Greenfield, Loretto, and Corcoran. It is anticipated that flows from northwest Medina will also be served through this interceptor. The City has designated 367 net acres as Future Development Area in this area for potential development after the timeframe contemplated by this Plan. The City of Loretto, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Metropolitan Council seek to phase out Loretto's WWTP. The Metropolitan Council and cities of Medina, Independence, and Loretto have been collaborating on finding a solution to allow Loretto to connect to the Tri-City system prior to the extension of the Metropolitan Council interceptor. As a result, this plan considers an estimated flow of 70,000 gpd from Loretto in its calculations. It is expected that the City's collection system would be capable of adding Loretto's flows at this time, subject to certain capacity and operational upgrades that would need to be provided and paid for by others. While the Metropolitan Council has projected that the employment population will increase between 2020 and 2040, it has not projected a population increase. However, the City's land use plan proposes to change approximately 13.5 acres at the northeast corner of Highway 12 and County Road 29 from Commercial to High Density Residential. This would result in an addition of approximately 160 residential units and a reduction in employment of approximately 60. In addition, there are several lots Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE16 that have been platted but on which homes have not yet been constructed. Therefore, the wastewater flows from these parcels will need to be accounted for in the future condition. The existing and future flows are estimated below: Table 6. Projected 2040 Flows for Maple Plain District Based on Development Timeframe Average Flow (gpd)* Existing Flow 61,380 2020 175,220 2030 175,220 2040 175,220 *Increased flows are due to high density residential development in MP-3. Future flows include flows from approximately 700 individuals in Loretto (70,000 gpd). Morningside District The Morningside District is located on the southern edge of Medina and consists mainly of small lateral lines. At this time, approximately 104 homes are in the Morningside District, which send their flows through an unmetered interconnection with Orono. It is estimated that 25,000 gpd flow through the Morningside District to Orono on an average day. It is not anticipated that there will be any new growth or land -use changes in the Morningside District that would require the City to plan for increased discharges. Plymouth District The Plymouth District, located on the eastern side of Medina, consists of 16 homes and one church and is fully built out, with the exception of a few single-family residential parcels. It is not anticipated that there will be any substantial increase in the flows that Medina will send through Plymouth by 2040. If the City wishes to develop the area adjacent to the existing Plymouth subsewershed after 2040, Plymouth staff have indicated that they may have capacity to accept some additional flows from Medina. Individual Sewage Treatment Systems As development continues to occur throughout Medina, it is recommended that the City encourages homeowners to connect to the municipal sanitary sewer system as it becomes available. Having residents abandon ISTS's will promote groundwater quality and will reduce the risks associated with noncompliant systems. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE17 INFLOW AND INFILTRATION General Infiltration is water that enters the sanitary sewer system through defects in the sewer pipes, joints, manholes, and service laterals, or by deliberate connection of building foundation drains. Water that enters the sewer system from cross connections with storm sewer, sump pumps, roof drains, or manhole covers is considered inflow. Water from inflow and infiltration (1/1) can consume available capacity in the wastewater collection system and increase the hydraulic load on the treatment facility. In extreme cases, the added hydraulic load can cause bypasses or overflows of raw wastewater. This extra hydraulic load also requires a larger capacity in the city's collection and treatment components, which results in increased capital, operation and maintenance, and replacement expenses. As sewer systems ages and deteriorates, 1/1 can become an increasing burden on a City's system. Therefore, it is imperative that I/I be reduced whenever it is cost effective to do so. The MCES has established 1/1 goals for each community discharging wastewater into the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) based on average day flows and allowable peaking factors. In February 2006, the MCES adopted the 1/1 Surcharge Program which required communities within their service area to eliminate excessive 1/1 over a period of time. Now, communities that exceed their wastewater flow program year goals for the period of July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, will be required to complete an 1/I mitigation assignment that will be required to be implemented in 2018. The City of Medina (City) was identified by the MCES as a community with excessive I/1 and therefore is on the MCES 1/1 Surcharge List. The 1/1 goals established for the City are based on annual average flows and are presented as allowable peak hourly flow rates. The MCES's metering program indicates that the City's current 1/I goal for allowable peak hourly flow rates are 1.19 MGD and 0.38 MGD for meters M242 and M434, respectively (see Table 7). Table 7. MCES Peak Hourly Flow Factors for Sanitary Sewer Design Adjusted Average Peak Hourly Flow (MGD) Program Year 2018 Peak Hourly Flow Goal (MGD) Allowable Peak Hourly Flow (MGD) M242 (Elm Creek interceptor) 0.33 1.19 Allowable Peak Hourly Flow (MGD) M434 (Blue Lake interceptor) 0.09 0.38 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE18 I/I Analysis The majority of the sanitary sewer system in the City is above the water table. The system currently consists of approximately 40 miles of sanitary main and nine (9) lift stations, of which a majority was built within the last 40 years. All pipes are located in drained urban areas. Approximately 12% of the residential housing in the City was constructed prior to the year 1970. However, many of these properties were served by ISTS and did not receive sanitary sewer service until after 1970. All of the pre- 1970 era private services are located in the northeast corner of the City along Highway 55 and Hamel Road, and approximately 85% of these services have been evaluated for susceptibility to 1/I. Currently, the City generates a dry weather flow of approximately 96 gallons of wastewater per capita per day (gpcd) and an average annual flow of approximately 102 gpcd, the difference between which indicates an estimated clearwater generation of 24,000 gpd in the system. Recent metering data does not show large variability around these values, which indicates limited 1/1. The City utilizes two MCES interceptors, Elm Creek Interceptor (M242) and Blue Lake Interceptor (M434). From 2010 to 2015 the City's peak flows and peaking factors measured from MCES meter M242 are shown to be below the MCES Program Year 2018 goal. In 2013 and 2014 the City's peak flows for MCES meter M434 are shown to be above the MCES's Program Year 2018 Goal; however, in 2015 the City experienced a large decrease in peak flows (see Table 8). Following the excessive I/1 events measured between July 2013 and June 2014, the City was required to provide a work plan to reduce I/I. This was completed and submitted to alleviate the MCES surcharge. Table 8.

The City's construction standards include prohibiting the connection of sump pumps, rain leaders, and passive drain tiles to the sanitary sewer system. All future developments are designed and constructed as public improvement projects; therefore, projects must conform to the City's construction standards. In addition, projects are observed during construction to verify they are constructed in accordance with the plans and City standards. All newly constructed sanitary sewers are televised and pressure tested to confirm they have been constructed in accordance with City standards. In addition, the City has enacted a proactive program directed at recognizing and correcting I/I, which includes the following activities: • In preparation of its street reconstruction projects, Medina televises the project area sewer systems and addresses any identified issues. Manhole structures are also routinely repaired, grouted, and sealed. As of 2000, all new manholes require chimney seals. • During the City's annual sewer system maintenance activities, selected segments are televised to locate service connections with continuous flows. If found, these are investigated to determine possible illegal connections. Appropriate corrective measures are then initiated with the affected property owner. • In 2006, the Maple Plain District inspected all basements in the area to identify and remove any direct sump pump connections. The City continues to follow up on this program. • The City has an ongoing annual review of flows and discussions with consulting engineers to develop the next stage of improvement plans. • The City has an ordinance in place prohibiting the connection of sump pumps, foundation drainage, or other surface water, copied below. The ordinance will continue to be followed and will be amended within six months of the adoption of this plan to include the disconnection of existing clearwater sources. Section 701.01. Use of Public Sewers; Surface Waters. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage including water from a sump pump, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer.

Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 20 Expenses to Date The costs expended to date by the City of Medina toward identifying and rehabilitating I/I sources are summarized as follows: • I/I analysis completed by Independence in May of 2004: $120,000 • Removal of 54 leaking septic tanks at an average cost of $5,000 per tank from May 2004 through August 2008: $270,000 • Inspection of 19,050 linear feet of sewer in April of 2006: $30,000 • Engineering assistance for I/I reduction program from March of 2006 through August of 2006: $6,000 • Staff expense for sump pump inspection of 194 buildings at $75 each in the summer of 2006: $14,550 • Inspection of sanitary sewer and sanitary sewer improvements on Tower Drive & Hamel Road in 2014 to current:—$165,000 • Televising and analysis in 2016: $5,000 The total expenditure from 2004 to 2016 is approximately $615,650. The City of Medina will continue to proactively work to identify I/I sources and take corrective actions. The rehabilitation that has been completed to date has resulted in a reduction of I/I; however, the remaining I/I continues to be a concern and is being addressed. The City has budgeted $10,000 annually to the identification and evaluation of I/I through televising and sump pump inspection, as indicated in Table 9. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 PAGE 21 COST ESTIMATES AND FINANCING Table 9 shows the estimated costs for the improvements discussed in this plan. For those pipes that are overdepth, the cost represents only the estimated increase in cost due to the deeper pipe. It is expected that developers pay the cost associated with extending the sewer service to their property, as long as the design does not require changes due to future development anticipated by the City. It should be noted that these costs do not include acquisition of land, right of way, or easements, nor do they include the cost of oversizing infrastructure to serve Loretto or Corcoran. Table 9.

This Plan has been prepared according to the guidelines established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The attached Water Supply Plan conforms to the template provided by the DNR, while this Comprehensive Plan expands upon the template and provides further information for City and Metropolitan Council planning. Existing Facilities The City of Medina provides roughly 150 million gallons of water each year through three separate and isolated water distribution systems. These include the Hamel system in northeast Medina, the Independence Beach system in western Medina, and the Morningside system in southern Medina. The Hamel system is the largest of the three systems. It is supplied by six active wells (3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) and one reserve well (2). The raw water from Wells 3, 4, 6 and 7 is treated at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP); the raw water from Well No. 5 is treated with chlorine, fluoride, and polyphosphate at the wellhouse and pumped directly into the distribution system; and the raw water from Well No. 8 can be treated at the wellhouse or at the WTP. The Hamel system has one 400,000 gallon elevated storage facility, and an additional 200,000 gallons of clearwell storage at the WTP. The Independence Beach and Morningside systems are small independent systems that provide only minimal storage (non fire fighting) and pressure to their respective distribution systems, and each is served by two wells as detailed in Table 1. Apart from the Hamel, Independence Beach, and Morningside systems, a small portion of south central Medina receives service from Orono, and a small portion of southwestern Medina receives service from Maple Plain. Population and Water Demands The population served by the City of Medina's water system has fluctuated over the last ten years, with an overall trend towards growth. The City had a total population served of about 4,000 people in 2015. The average total water delivered per year across all three systems from 2010 to 2015 was 149.4 million gallons. Since 2007, Medina has seen a decrease in residential per capita demand, with a total average residential demand of 64 gallons per capita per day from 2010 to 2015. This decrease was achieved through the implementation of several water conservation actions including changes in the water rate structure, distribution system improvements, and, most importantly, a new irrigation policy which prohibits the use of treated municipal water for lawn irrigation. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 1 To reduce unaccounted for water, the City periodically monitors leaks in the distribution system and conducts water audits monthly. The City is also undergoing meter repair and replacement and meters annual hydrant flushing. Growth and Demand Projections The City of Medina is currently developing and growing, with a majority of the growth expected in the Hamel system. The Hamel system is projected to serve about 5,700 people in 2040, with a projected maximum day demand for potable water of 1.23 million gallons and a maximum day demand for irrigation water of 1.42 million gallons. Together, both systems have a total maximum day water demand of 2.65 million gallons, although the irrigation portion does not require treatment, storage, or distribution. The Independence Beach and Morningside areas are currently built out and are not expected to see appreciable growth in their population or water demands. Proposed Improvements The City's existing production and treatment facilities are projected to satisfy demand through the year 2040. However, if the City would like to treat the entire capacity from Wells 4, 6, 7 and 8 simultaneously, it will need to expand the capacity of the Water Treatment Plant from 2.0 MGD to 3.0 MGD. The City's recommended storage capacity to satisfy maximum day fire fighting flow is projected to exceed the existing storage capacity by 2040. Therefore, it is recommended that the City construct a new 400,000 gallon elevated storage facility between 2020 and 2030. The City will need to expand its distribution network per the Future Land Use Plan for low density residential, mixed residential, commercial, and general business areas in the northeast quadrant of Medina. Recommendations The following actions are recommended to the City of Medina and the Medina City Council based on the data and analysis contained within this study. 1. Adopt this Comprehensive Water Supply Plan as a guide for the development of the City's water system, and incorporate the proposed improvements into the City's Capital Improvement Plan. 2. Plan for the addition of an elevated storage facility, including any easements required to connect the site to the existing water system. 3. Complete and submit Wellhead Protection Plan evaluation reports to the Minnesota Department of Health every 2.5 years and a summary report in 2020. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 2 INTRODUCTION Purpose This Comprehensive Water Plan is a section of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the Comprehensive Water Plan is to provide an overview of the City's current drinking water resources, infrastructure, policies, and challenges, and to present future plans. A water distribution map is included in Appendix 12, which depicts the existing system and the proposed improvements. This Comprehensive Water Supply Plan has been prepared according to the guidelines established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) per Minnesota Statute 473.859 which requires water supply plans be completed by all local units of government in the seven -county Metropolitan Area. The attached Water Supply Plan conforms to the template provided by the DNR, while this Comprehensive Plan satisfies the Metropolitan Council's requirements. Background The City of Medina, located in Hennepin County, is most fully developed in its northeast quadrant along Highway 55. There are pockets of development along the western, southwestern and southern boundaries of Medina as well. These separate areas of development are served by independent water systems, as described in more detail in the following section. Most of the land area in the City falls outside of these service areas, and that area includes approximately 700 homes which are served by private wells. The scope of this study includes the population projections from the City's overall Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) City System Statement, to project water system demands for the City of Medina through the year 2040. The 2040 service area was defined based on the future Land Use Plan prepared for the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Existing and future water demands were calculated for the City based on the historical data and population projections. Data Available The following sources of information were used to prepare this report: ■ Water Supply Plan for the City of Medina, prepared by WSB & Associates, Inc. dated Feb. 2017 ■ MCES System Statement for the City of Medina ■ MCES Community Profile for the City of Medina ■ Water usage data as reported by the City to the DNR's Minnesota Permitting and Reporting System (MPARS) Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 3 General Contact Information City of Medina Water System DNR Water Appropriation Permit Numbers: 1960-0424, 1976-6007, 1976-6030 Ownership: Public Metropolitan Council Area, Hennepin County MDH Supplier Classification: Municipal Public Works Director: Steve Scherer 2052 County Road 24 Medina, MN 55340 Phone: (763) 473-8842 Water Use Categories and Definitions General water use categories and definitions used in this report, as defined by the Department of Natural Resources, are as follows: ■ Residential uses consist of water being used for normal household purposes, such as drinking, food preparation, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, flushing toilets, and watering lawns and gardens. ■ Institutional uses consist of those for hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, and other facilities that use water for essential domestic requirements. This includes public facilities and public metered uses. Institutional water -use records are typically maintained for emergency planning and allocation purposes. ■ Commercial uses consist of water used by motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and commercial facilities. ■ Industrial uses consist of water used for thermoelectric power (electric utility generation) and other industrial uses such as steel, chemical and allied products, food processing, paper and allied products, mining, and petroleum refining. ■ Wholesale deliveries consist of bulk water sales to other public water suppliers. ■ Unaccounted water is the volume of water withdrawn from all sources minus the volume sold. ■ Non -essential water uses as defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, include lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other non -essential uses. Some of the above categories also include non -essential uses of water. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 4 EXISTING SYSTEM The City of Medina provides roughly 150 million gallons of water each year and has a growing total population of over 5,000 people. The City provides water to three distinct regions: the Hamel system in the northeast quadrant, the Independence Beach system along the western boundary, and the Morningside system along the southern boundary. These three regions make up the Medina water system, and they are maintained an analyzed as unique regions due to their distinct locations and water usage. Water Sources and Treatment In total, there are nine active wells and two reserve wells across the three regions. These wells are listed in Table 1 below (Table 4 in the Water Supply Plan), and well records and maintenance reports are included in Appendix 1.

Well 8 can also be pumped to the WTP or directly into the distribution system after chemical addition. Chlorine and fluoride are added to disinfect and prevent tooth decay, respectively. The WTP can currently produce up to 2.0 million gallons per day and could be expanded to produce up to 3.0 million gallons per day. After treatment, the water is stored in a 200,000 gallon clearwell. High service pumps receive signals from the elevated storage tank to supply water from the clearwell to the distribution system as needed. **The flows from Wells 7 and 8 may be diverted and used untreated for irrigation, reducing the strain on treatment, storage, and distribution capacity within the primary water system. Well 7 is used to irrigate the Lennar Addition and the City Park during the summer months. Well 8 can be used to irrigate the Enclave at Brockton addition. The Independence Beach and Morningside systems are small independent systems that provide only minimal storage (non fire protection) and pressure to their respective distribution systems. The treatment provided at the four wells in these two regions consists of the addition of chlorine, fluorine, and polyphosphate. The City's water level monitoring plan is included in Appendix 2, and water level graphs for each well are included in Appendix 3. Water Storage The Hamel system includes one 400,000 gallon elevated storage facility, which stabilizes pressures during peak water demands and serves as a source of water during fires or power outages. When combined with the 200,000 gallon clearwell storage, the total existing usable storage volume in the Hamel system is 600,000 gallons. Water Distribution The Hamel water distribution system includes water mains of nominal diameter 6-inch up to 18-inch. The piping materials, in order of most used to least used, are PVC, ductile iron, copper, cast iron, corrugated metal and polyethylene. The larger 12-inch, 16-inch and 18-inch mains run along Highway 55, Arrowhead Drive, Hamel Road and the west edge of Legion Park. The Independence Beach system is supplied by 6-inch and 8-inch PVC and ductile iron pipe, and the Morningside system is supplied by 6-inch and 8-inch PVC pipe. Apart from these three distinct systems, a small portion of south central Medina receives service from Orono, and a small portion of south western Medina receives service from Maple Plain. These two small service areas are shown on the water distribution map in Appendix 12. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 6 Water System Value An estimated value for the City of Medina's water distribution system based on existing pipe diameters and lengths is given in Table 2. This represents a rough estimate of what it would cost to replace the infrastructure based on the cost of construction in 2017. The costs are specific to the water system and do not include other infrastructure improvements such as street, other utility improvements, or overhead costs associated with a larger project scope.

Factors that can potentially limit water supply include: population increases, economic trends, uneven statewide availability of groundwater, climate change, and degraded water quality. There are many benefits to enacting water conservation policies and many practical, feasible objectives the City has already and will continue to pursue. The average total water used per year by all three systems from 2010 to 2015 was 149.4 million gallons. The average residential per capita demand has been decreasing steadily since 2007; from 2010 to 2015 an average of 64 gallons per capita were used daily. This falls within the DNR's recommended residential demand of less than 75 gallons per capita per day. The decrease in residential per capita demand was achieved through the implementation of several water conservation actions including changes in the water rate structure, distribution system improvements, and a new irrigation policy. The new irrigation policy implemented in 2008 prohibits the use of treated, potable water for irrigation in new developments. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 10 Wellhead Protection and Potential Water Supply Issues Long-term preventative programs and measures for the City's existing water system will help reduce the risk of emergency situations. The City of Medina has a number of programs to help reduce these risks. The well pumps are critical to the systems supply and do wear out with time due to their extensive use. Public Works Operations staff checks pump oil, bearings, and packing each weekday. Staff changes the pump oil in the spring and fall of each year. Well pumps are annually inspected by a well contractor to ensure proper operation. The well functions inspected annually include voltage, flow rate, vibration, water level, and other maintenance issues. In addition, pumps are pulled and serviced, rebuilt, or replaced as necessary. The City also has a Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) that was adopted in August of 2013 and is due to be updated in 2023. It lists the following objectives: 1. Create public awareness and general knowledge about the importance of WHPP for maintaining an adequate and safe drinking water supply in the Medina community and the City of Medina DWSMA. 2. Properly inventory and manage potential contaminant sources to protect the drinking water supply for the City of Medina. 3. Manage the Wellhead Management Zone to prevent contamination of the aquifer near the public supply wells. 4. Effectively track and report the implementation efforts and wellhead protection plan progress to all governing authorities. In order to achieve these objectives, the WHPP lists the following measures to be implemented: • Public Education and Outreach o Publish newsletter articles o Distribute informational mailings o Organize a booth at Celebration Day o Update the City of Medina website • Potential Contamination Source Management o Collect well information o Apply for grant funds to seal unused wells o Seek funding to improve well inventory o Monitor potential contaminant sources • Land Use Management o Identify the WHPP and DWSMA in land use maps o Request notice of land use permits within DWSMA o Adopt a WHPP ordinance regulating well installation within DWSMA Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 11 " D a t a C o l l e c t i o n o C o o r d i n a t e w i t h M D H w h e n p l a n n i n g n e w m u n i c i p a l w e l l s o U p d a t e w e l l i n v e n t o r y e v e r y 2 . 5 y e a r s o V i d e o l o g m u n i c i p a l w e l l c a s i n g s o C o o r d i n a t e w i t h M D H o n g e o c h e m i c a l a n a l y s i s o f w e l l s o C o n t i n u e w a t e r l e v e l m o n i t o r i n g " I n n e r W e l l h e a d M a n a g e m e n t Z o n e ( I W M Z ) o M o n i t o r a n d m a i n t a i n 2 0 0 f t . s e t b a c k r a d i u s a r o u n d w e l l s o C o n t a c t M D H r e g a r d i n g c h a n g e s o r c o n s t r u c t i o n o f p o t e n t i a l c o n t a m i n a n t s o u r c e s o I m p l e m e n t I W M Z P C S I R e p o r t m e a s u r e s o U p d a t e I W M Z I n v e n t o r y f o r p u b l i c w a t e r s u p p l y w e l l s " R e p o r t i n g a n d E v a l u a t i o n o S u b m i t a n n u a l r e p o r t o n W H P P a c t i v i t i e s t o C i t y C o u n c i l o M a i n t a i n a " W H P P f o l d e r " o C o m p l e t e a n E v a l u a t i o n R e p o r t e v e r y 2 . 5 y e a r s o C o m p l e t e a S u m m a r y R e p o r t t o M D H i n 2 0 2 0 o C o m p l e t e a n n u a l D N R p u m p i n g p e r m i t r e p o r t s a n d M D H C o n s u m e r C o n f i d e n c e R e p o r t s C o m p r e h e n s i v e W a t e r P l a n C i t y o f M e d i n a , M N W 5 8 P r o j e c t N o . 2 7 1 2 - 5 3 0 P a g e 1 2 Growth and Demand Projections The City of Medina is currently developing and growing, although the projected trends vary across the three distinct areas within the water system. The projected populations and demands for these three communities are listed in Tables 5A-C (Tables 7a-c in the Water Supply Plan). Population served estimates were linearly extrapolated using Metropolitan Council growth estimates between 2020, 2030, and 2040. As of 2016, most new population growth will be serviced by the municipal water system, save some sparse rural development served by private wells. With respect to the water system, it is expected that the vast majority of new development will occur in the Hamel system, which has the highest total per capita water demand. The City is also anticipating 160 new units of high density residential housing in the southwest corner of the City, but this area will be served by the Maple Plain water system. The projected demand in the Hamel system was calculated by separately estimating the residential, commercial, WSS, and irrigation demands. The potable water demands (residential, commercial, and WSS) were summed and increased by 10% to approximate unmetered/unaccounted water. The projected max day demand was calculated by adding a flat amount to the average day demand rather than multiplying by a peak factor since the City's new irrigation policy prohibits the use of potable water for irrigation in new developments. Since the irrigation water for some existing and all future development requires neither treatment nor storage, it is listed separately in Tables 5A-C. The peak factor applied to irrigation flows was calculated as the ratio of max day irrigation to average day irrigation over the months of May through October for 2010 to 2015. The max day irrigation was estimated as the difference between max day use and average day use for each year.

Total per capita demand in both of these communities has been steadily decreasing, likely due to the implementation of improved fixtures. The Metropolitan Council has projected that total per capita demand is projected to stay constant through 2040. Since the demands and populations in these communities are projected to stay constant, only one set of values is shown in the tables below for 2016 through 2040.

These are listed below with comments on the City of Medina's progress towards the completion of each. 1. Reduce unaccounted (non -revenue) water loss to less than 10%. • The City's average unaccounted water use from 2010 to 2015 was 13.8%, which is higher than the recommended target of 10%. The City periodically monitors leaks in the distribution system and conducts water audits monthly in an effort to reduce this percentage. The City will also continue an ongoing meter repair and replacement program and continue to meter annual hydrant flushing. • The City has a total of about 1,500 metered connections which are monitored randomly every two years. The City will continue to use the results of these random tests to decide when it is necessary to replace meters in a given area. 2. Achieve residential demand of less than 75 gallons per capita per day. • The average residential per capita water demand for the City of Medina from 2010 to 2015 was 64 GPCD, which falls within this 75 GPCD target. Data from the DNR and the City indicates that residential water demand has steadily decreased over the last ten years. • In order to continue reducing residential demand, the City will review the ordinance on water efficient landscaping 1-3 years following implementation of this plan, will review the ordinance on water reuse annually, will revise the ordinance to limit irrigation 3-6 years following implementation of this plan, will continue to make water system improvements, will apply for the Metropolitan Council's water efficiency grant in 2017, will provide incentives to reduce outdoor water use annually, and will continue water conservation education and outreach. 3. Achieve at least a 15% reduction in per capita daily demand across all customer categories over the next 10 years. • The City will conduct water use audits annually at its facilities, will install enhanced water meters, will install conservation fixtures and appliances, will repair leaking system components, will investigate water reuse, will reduce outdoor water use, and will train new employees in water conservation. 4. Achieve a decreasing trend in total per capita demand. • A graph showing total per capita water demand by customer category is included in Appendix 8. The total per capita residential demand has been steadily decreasing since 2005 due to changes in the water rate structure. The total per capita commercial and irrigation demands do not exhibit a clear trend up or down; however, it is likely that the new irrigation policy will decrease these demands. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 16 5. Reduce peak day demand so that the ratio of maximum to average day demand is less than 2.6. • The City's ten year average (2005-2014) ratio of maximum to average day demand is 2.4. 6. Implement a conservation water rate structure. • The water rates in Medina are based on an increasing block rate structure. This rate structure promotes water conservation because the price is volume -tiered, meaning that the price of water increases with the amount of gallons used. Furthermore, water billing in Medina is on a monthly schedule, which allows residents to be more aware of their water usage throughout the year. A copy of the 2016 water rates for Medina is included in Appendix 9. • The City has also implemented an odd/even watering restriction to reduce peak day demands during months of high water usage. 7. Additional strategies to reduce water use and support wellhead protection planning. • The City of Medina will consider participating in the GreenStep Cities program, will implement a water conservation outreach program, and will apply for grant funding to implement a rebate program. 8. Tracking success. • The City will continue to monitor water usage by customer category. Regulation The City of Medina has implemented several regulations to reduce demand and improve efficiency in its water system. Rainfall sensors continue to be required on landscape irrigation systems, potable water use for irrigation in new developments is restricted, water use is restricted by odd/even days during months of high water usage, and a critical water deficiency ordinance is in place. A summary of these regulations with links to more information on them is included in Appendix 10. Retrofitting Programs The City has several retrofitting programs in place to encourage conservation and efficiency. They have partnered with gas companies for the free distribution of low flow showerheads and faucet aerators, have partnered with the watershed organization to provide rebates for rain barrels and irrigation meters, and have implemented a ban on using potable water for irrigation in new developments. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 17 Education and Outreach The following education and outreach programs have been implemented by the City: • Billing inserts include educational information • Handouts and brochures distributed at Medina Celebration Days • Consumer Confidence Reports prepared annually • Community newsletters prepared every other month • Information available at utility and public buildings • Information available on City website (http://www.ci.medina.mn.us/) • Water Treatment Facility Open Houses • Ordinance notices in the event of an emergency The City is looking into further educating residents on the benefits of water conservation with direct mailings and social media posts. The City is also looking into making programs to educate school age children on water resources and the importance of water conservation in their daily routines. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 18 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The City of Medina's existing water system, in particular its existing elevated storage, does not have the capacity to satisfy projected demand through 2040. Table 6 lists the improvements proposed, along with their estimated dates of implementation and costs, in order to satisfy the City's anticipated demand. A map of the proposed improvements is included in Appendix 13. In addition, the City's Capital Improvements Plan for 2016-2020 is included in Appendix 4. Table 6 — Proposed Capital Improvements Year Proposed Improvement Estimated Cost 2017-2020 Upgrade Treatment Plant SCADA TBD Install trunk water distribution mains $460,000 2020-2030 Install additional 0.4 MG of elevated storage $1,500,000 Install trunk water distribution mains $1,540,000 2030-2040 Expand the existing 2.0 MGD Treatment Plant to 3.0 MGD $1,500,000 Install trunk water distribution mains $1,540,000 Computer Model The City's existing and ultimate water system models were originally developed by Bonestroo (currently Stantec) in 2007. Since that time, some development has occurred and proposed developments and water demands have changed. Both the existing and ultimate water system models were updated to reflect actual existing system infrastructure and existing water system demands. After updating the City's water system model, the ultimate water system model was evaluated to determine its ability to provide water at adequate domestic pressures and adequate fire flow rates. Adequate pressure standards were based on the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and 10 State Standards domestic pressure standards. Fire flow standards were based on International Building Code (IBC) standards, upon which Minnesota State Building Code is based. Based on the revised ultimate water system demands, modeling results indicated that the City's proposed distribution system provides adequate capacity for serving existing and ultimate developments for domestic and fire protection purposes. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 19 Proposed Sources and Treatment It is recommended that the City's firm capacity, defined as its production capacity with its largest well out of service, satisfy its maximum day demand. The firm capacity of the Hamel system with Well 8 out of service is 2,550 gpm. The average maximum day demand in the Hamel system from 2010 to 2015 was 740 gpm. The maximum day demand is projected to grow through 2040 to a value of 1,840 gpm (including both potable and irrigation use). Both the current and projected maximum day demands are satisfied by the existing firm capacity; therefore, additional production capacity is not recommended at this time. However, if the City would like to treat the entire pumping capacity of Wells 4, 6, 7 and 8 simultaneously, it will need to expand the treatment capacity of the Water Treatment Plant from 2.0 MGD to 3.0 MGD. Proposed Storage From 2010 to 2015, the Hamel system's average daily demand was 0.43 MG; the Hamel system's current storage capacity is 0.60 MG. It is anticipated that the average daily demand for potable water in 2040 will be 0.59 MG. Although the average daily demand for potable water is not projected to surpass the City's current storage capacity by 2040, fire flow analysis based on existing ground and elevated storage indicates that an additional 195,000 gallons of elevated storage will be required by that time. However, to account for growth in demand and fire fighting capacity over the lifetime of the future tower, as well as some contingency for changes in future development trends, it is recommended that the City install an additional 400,000 gallons of elevated storage between 2020 and 2030. A 2012 update of the City's 2009 Comprehensive Water Plan evaluated three possible sites for additional elevated storage and recommended the Fields of Medina area; this is the site indicated on the map provided in Appendix 13. The City's 2009 Comprehensive Water Plan and the 2012 Evaluation of that plan include discussion of the development and establishment of a high pressure zone in northwest Medina near the City of Loretto. It is recommended that this pressure zone be supplied by a booster station from the Hamel pressure zone until average day demand warrants a water tower there. Assuming that this future water tower will have a capacity 500,000 gallons, it should not be constructed until average day demand in that zone reaches 100,000 gpd, at which point mixers can keep the water in the tower from freezing. The high zone booster station, as well as new trunk water main, should be constructed as soon as development that requires City water occurs in that area. This development is not anticipated to occur before the year 2040. Proposed Distribution The City will need to expand its distribution network per the Future Land Use Plan for low density residential, mixed residential, commercial and general business areas in the northeast quadrant of Medina in the areas indicated on the map provided in Appendix 13. Because of the unpredictability of development, a definite schedule for the construction of trunk water main cannot be given at this time. However, the approximate costs based on the total estimated costs divided evenly through 2040 are provided in Table 5. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 20 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failures, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these procedures should be in support of, and part of, an all -hazard emergency operations plan. Federal Emergency Response Plan Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended by the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188, Title IV— Drinking Water Security and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare an Emergency Response Plan. The City of Medina has a Federal Emergency Response Plan that was certified on September 24, 2015. The contacts for this plan are as follows: Emergency Response Lead: Steve Scherer Phone: (763) 473-8842 Email: steve.scherer@ci.medina.mn.us Alternate Emergency Response Lead: Ed Belland Phone: (612) 868-9244 Email: police@ci.medina.mn.us Operational Contingency Plan The State Department recommends that all utilities develop an operational contingency plan that describes measures to be taken for water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures, as well as for routine maintenance. The City of Medina's water utility currently has an operational contingency plan. In the case of an emergency, the City will request emergency action from the City Council and the Governor, including emergency demand reduction through the critical water deficiency ordinance. In the case of water contamination, bottled water would be distributed at public works. The City maintains an emergency contact list, included in Appendix 5. Emergency Response Procedures Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources, water treatment, and the distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation and maintenance records should be maintained in secured central and back-up locations so that the records are accessible for emergency purposes. A detailed map of the system showing the water sources, treatment plant, storage facilities, supply lines, interconnections, and other information that would be useful in an emergency should also be readily available. It is critical that public water supplier representatives and emergency response Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 21 personnel communicate about the response procedures and be able to easily obtain this kind of information both in electronic and hard copy formats (in case of a power outage). The City of Medina maintains records and maps of the water system. City staff can access these resources from a central secured location in the event of an emergency, and appropriate staff know where the resources are located. Procedures for Augmenting Water Supplies The City of Medina has several interconnections with neighboring water supply systems; however, these interconnections are limited by the segmented nature of the system's three distinct areas. One interconnection is between the City of Plymouth and the Hamel system, which has minimal pressures due to elevation differences between the two systems. The second interconnection is between the City of Maple Plain and the southwest corner of Medina. The third interconnection is between the City of Orono and the Morningside system. Copies of these cooperative agreements are included in Appendix 6. A fourth interconnection with the City of Corcoran is planned for 2017. Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures and Triggers The City must prepare procedures to address gradual decreases in water supply, as well as emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. These allocation and demand reduction procedures must be consistent with Minnesota State Statute 103G.261, that identifies and defines the priorities in which water usage will be allocated in the event of an emergency. They are defined as follows: 1. Domestic water supply only, excluding industrial and commercial uses of municipal water supply. The first priority also includes uses for power production that meet contingency requirements. Domestic use is defined by MN Rules 6115.0630, Subp. 9, as use for general household purposes for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and uses for on -farm livestock watering excluding commercial livestock operations which use more than 10,000 gallons per day or one million gallons per year. 2. Consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day. 3. Agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products of more than 10,000 gallons per day. 4. Power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency plan. 5. All other water use of more than 10,000 gallons per day. 6. Non -essential uses. These uses are defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other non -essential uses. Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN W58 Project No. 2712-530 Page 22 Table 7 lists the priority ranking, average day demand, and demand reduction potential for each customer category in the City. Table 7 — Water Use Priorities Customer Category Allocation Priority Average Day Demand (GPD)* Short -Term Emergency Demand Reduction Potential (GPD)** Residential 1 Commercial 2 Irrigation/Other 3 Total GPD — Gallons per Day 217,000 59,000 106,000 382,000 75,000 11,000 105,000 191,000 *Average daily demands were calculated using average 2010-2015 water use data summed across the Hamel, Independence Beach, and Morningside systems. **Short-term emergency demand reduction potential was calculated as the difference between maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). The City of Medina will use the following conditions to trigger an emergency response: ■ Contamination ■ Loss of Production ■ Infrastructure Failure ■ Governor's Executive Order The City of Medina has identified the following short-term and long-term actions to be implemented as part of an emergency response: Short-term Actions ■ Enforce its critical water deficiency ordinance ■ Allocate water through emergency action of the City Council ■ Encourage voluntary reduction through public service announcements Long-term Actions ■ Supply augmentation through interconnections ■ Enforce its critical water deficiency ordinance ■ Allocate water through emergency action of the City Council ■ Meet with large water users to discuss their contingency plan Comprehensive Water Plan City of Medina, MN WSB Project No. 2712-530 Page 23 Notification Procedures The City of Medina has developed the following plan to inform customers regarding conservation requests, water use restrictions, and suspensions; with the support of City staff, neighboring communities, and local news outlets: Short-term demand reduction declared (within one year) Frequency: Monthly ■ Website ■ Social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) ■ Direct customer mailing ■ Press release (TV, radio, newspaper) Long-term demand reduction declared (over one year) Frequency: Monthly ■ Website ■ Social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) ■ Direct customer mailing ■ Press release (TV, radio, newspaper) Governor's Critical water deficiency declared Frequency: As Needed ■ Website ■ Social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) ■ Press release (TV, radio, newspaper) Enforcement Minnesota Statutes require public water supply authorities to adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions during periods of critical water shortages. As stated in Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, Subdivision 1, regarding public water supply appropriation during deficiency, if the governor determines and declares by executive order that there is a critical water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water must adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions within their jurisdiction that are consistent with rules adopted by the commissioner. The restrictions must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other nonessential uses, and have appropriate penalties for failure to comply with the restrictions. The City has a critical water deficiency ordinance defined in Medina City Code, Chapter 7: Section 710.69. A copy of this ordinance is included in Appendix 7. The City has authorized the Public Works Director and the City Administrator, or their designee, to have standing authority to implement water restrictions which improves response times for dealing with water emergencies.

The goal of the WSP is to help water suppliers: 1) implement long term water sustainability and conservation measures; and 2) develop critical emergency preparedness measures. Your community needs to know what measures will be implemented in case of a water crisis. A lot of emergencies can be avoided or mitigated if long term sustainability measures are implemented. Groundwater Management Areas (GWMA) The DNR has designated three areas of the state as Groundwater Management Areas (GWMAs) to focus groundwater management efforts in specific geographies where there is an added risk of overuse or water quality degradation. A plan directing the DNRs actions within each GWMA has been prepared. Although there are no specific additional requirements with respect to the water supply planning for communities within designated GWMAs, communities should be aware of the issues and actions planned if they are within the boundary of one of the GWMAs. The three GWMAs are the North and East Metro GWMA (Twin Cities Metro), the Bonanza Valley GWMA and the Straight River GWMA (near Park Rapids). Additional information and maps are included in the DNR webpage at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gwmp/areas.html Benefits of completing a WSP Completing a WSP using this template, fulfills a water supplier's statutory obligations under M.S. M.S.103G.291 to complete a water supply plan. For water suppliers in the metropolitan area, the WSP will help local governmental units to fulfill their requirements under M.S. 473.859 to complete a local comprehensive plan. Additional benefits of completing WSP template: • The standardized format allows for quicker and easier review and approval • Help water suppliers prepare for droughts and water emergencies. • Create eligibility for funding requests to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for the Drinking Water Revolving Fund. • Allow water suppliers to submit requests for new wells or expanded capacity of existing wells. • Simplify the development of county comprehensive water plans and watershed plans. • Fulfill the contingency plan provisions required in the MDH wellhead protection and surface water protection plans. • Fulfill the demand reduction requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291 subd 3 and 4. 6 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 • Upon implementation, contribute to maintaining aquifer levels, reducing potential well interference and water use conflicts, and reducing the need to drill new wells or expand system capacity. • Enable DNR to compile and analyze water use and conservation data to help guide decisions. • Conserve Minnesota's water resources If your community needs assistance completing the Water Supply Plan, assistance is available from your area hydrologist or groundwater specialist, the MN Rural Waters Association circuit rider program, or in the metropolitan area from Metropolitan Council staff. Many private consultants are also available. WSP Approval Process 10 Basic Steps for completing a 10-Year Water Supply Plan 1. Download the DNR/Metropolitan Council Water Supply Plan Template www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans 2. Save the document with a file name with this naming convention: WSP_cityname_permitnumber_date.doc. 3. The template is a form that should be completed electronically. 4. Compile the required water use data (Part 1) and emergency procedures information (Part 2) 5. The Water Conservation section (Part 3) may need discussion with the water department, council, or planning commission, if your community does not already have an active water conservation program. 6. Communities in the seven -county Twin Cities metropolitan area should complete all the information discussed in Part 4. The Metropolitan Council has additional guidance information on their webpage http://www.metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Plan-Elements/Water- Resources/Water-Supply.aspx. All out -state water suppliers do not need to complete the content addressed in Part 4. 7. Use the Plan instructions and Checklist document to insure all data is complete and attachments are included. This will allow for a quicker approval process. www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans 8. Plans should be submitted electronically — no paper documents are required. https://webapps11.dnr.state.mn.us/mpars/public/authentication/login 9. DNR hydrologist will review plans (in cooperation with Metropolitan Council in Metro area) and approve the plan or make recommendations. 10. Once approved, communities should complete a Certification of Adoption form, and send a copy to the DNR. 7 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Complete Table 1 with information about the public water supply system covered by this WSP.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION The first step in any water supply analysis is to assess the current status of demand and availability. Information summarized in Part 1 can be used to develop Emergency Preparedness Procedures (Part 2) and the Water Conservation Plan (Part 3). This data is also needed to track progress for water efficiency measures. A. Analysis of Water Demand Complete Table 2 showing the past 10 years of water demand data. • Some of this information may be in your Wellhead Protection Plan. • If you do not have this information, do your best, call your engineer for assistance or if necessary leave blank. If your customer categories are different than the ones listed in Table 2, please describe the differences below: The City of Medina operates three independent municipal water systems: Hamel (north), Independence Beach (west), and Morningside (south). The remaining population is served by private wells, Maple Plain or Orono. In 2014, the City began estimating water used for hydrant flushing and water lost due to watermain breaks. 9 Local Water Supply Plan Template -September 30 2015 Table 2.

Discuss the difference between current storage and treatment capacity versus the water supplier's projected average water demand over the next 10 years (see Table 7 for projected water demand): From 2010 to 2015, the Hamel system's average daily demand was 0.43 MG; the City's current storage capacity is 0.60 M. It is anticipated that the highest average daily demand for potable water through the year 2040 will be 0.59 MG, which is within the City's current storage capacity. However, it is likely that the City will require additional storage in the Hamel System between 2020 and 2030 in order to provide adequate fire flows. It is generally recommended that the City's treatment or production capacity be equal to the maximum day demand with the largest well out of service (firm capacity). The Hamel system's projected maximum day demand for water (both potable and irrigation) in the year 2040 is 2.65 MG, while the firm capacity is 3.53 MG. C.

Limits on Emergency Interconnections Discuss any limitations on the use of the water sources (e.g. not to be operated simultaneously, limitations due to blending, aquifer recovery issues etc.) and the use of interconnections, including capacity limits or timing constraints (i.e. only 200 gallons per minute are available from the City of Prior Lake, and it is estimated to take 6 hours to establish the emergency connection). If there are no limitations, list none. 16 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 The City has an interconnection with the City of Plymouth at Brockton Lane. However, this is for emergency use only due to elevation differences between systems. The City also has an interconnection with Orono for the Morningside system. The City of Maple Plain supplies the southwest corner of the City. D. Future Demand Projections - Key Metropolitan Council Benchmark Water Use Trends Use the data in Table 2 to describe trends in 1) population served; 2) total per capita water demand; 3) average daily demand; 4) maximum daily demand. Then explain the causes for upward or downward trends. For example, over the ten years has the average daily demand trended up or down? Why is this occurring? For the Hamel system, there is an increasing trend seen in the population served because the City is currently seeing new development. Although the Hamel system is seeing growth, there are no trends in total per capita demand, average daily demand, or maximum daily demand. The Independence Beach and Morningside systems are currently built out, therefore no trend is seen in population served or average daily demand. For both systems, there is a decreasing trend in total per capita water demand and maximum daily demand. The decreasing trend is likely due to the implementation of improved fixtures. It is likely that rainfall and climate play a much larger role in the difference in water usage than any other factor, as more water is used during hot summer days/evenings. Use the water use trend information discussed above to complete Table 7 with projected annual demand for the next ten years. Communities in the seven -county Twin Cities metropolitan area must also include projections for 2030 and 2040 as part of their local comprehensive planning. Projected demand should be consistent with trends evident in the historical data in Table 2, as discussed above. Projected demand should also reflect state demographer population projections and/or other planning projections. 17 Local Water Supply Plan Template -September 30 2015 Table 7.

These increases in population served were applied to the Hamel system, and the populations in the intervening years were linearly extrapolated. The populations served in the Independence Beach and Morningside systems were projected to remain constant. The per capita demands (daily average) were obtained from the City's annual water usage data. Due to the City's irrigation policy that restricts the use of potable water for irrigation in new developments, it is anticipated that new developments will not have seasonal fluctuations in water use. The projected maximum daily demands were calculated by determining the difference between maximum and average daily demands. This value was then added to the projected average daily demands through 2040. This method in calculating the maximum daily demands assumes that developments that are currently connected to the system will continue to use a greater quantity of water in the summer, but future developments will not. Since the populations served by the Morningside and Independence Beach Systems are projected to remain the same through 2040, there is no increase in projected water use for these areas. E.

Emergency Preparedness Procedures The emergency preparedness procedures outlined in this plan are intended to comply with the contingency plan provisions required by MDH in the WHP and SWP. Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failings, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these procedures should be in support of, and part of, an all -hazard emergency operations plan. Municipalities that already have written procedures dealing with water emergencies should review the following information and update existing procedures to address these water supply protection measures. A. Federal Emergency Response Plan Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, (Public Law 107-188, Title IV- Drinking Water Security and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare an Emergency Response Plan. Do you have a federal emergency response plan? 0 Yes ❑ No If yes, what was the date it was certified? September 24, 2015 Complete Table 15 by inserting the noted information regarding your completed Federal Emergency Response Plan. Table 15.

Operational Contingency Plan All utilities should have a written operational contingency plan that describes measures to be taken for water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures as well as routine maintenance. Do you have a written operational contingency plan? 0 Yes ❑ No At a minimum, a water supplier should prepare and maintain an emergency contact list of contractors and suppliers. C. Emergency Response Procedures Water suppliers must meet the requirements of MN Rules 4720.5280 . Accordingly, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 people to submit Emergency and Conservation Plans. Water emergency and conservation plans that have been approved by the DNR, under provisions of Minnesota Statute 186 and Minnesota Rules, part 6115.0770, will be considered equivalent to an approved WHP contingency plan. 30 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Emergency Telephone List Prepare and attach a list of emergency contacts, including the MN Duty Officer (1-800-422-0798), as Appendix 5. A template is available at www.mndnr.gov/watersupplvplans The list should include key utility and community personnel, contacts in adjacent water suppliers, and appropriate local, state and federal emergency contacts. Please be sure to verify and update the contacts on the emergency telephone list and date it. Thereafter, update on a regular basis (once a year is recommended). In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the Emergency Manager for that community. Responsibilities and services for each contact should be defined. Current Water Sources and Service Area Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources, water treatment, and the distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation and maintenance records should be maintained in secured central and back-up locations so that the records are accessible for emergency purposes. A detailed map of the system showing the treatment plants, water sources, storage facilities, supply lines, interconnections, and other information that would be useful in an emergency should also be readily available. It is critical that public water supplier representatives and emergency response personnel communicate about the response procedures and be able to easily obtain this kind of information both in electronic and hard copy formats (in case of a power outage). Do records and maps exist? 12I Yes ❑ No Can staff access records and maps from a central secured location in the event of an emergency? El Yes ❑ No Does the appropriate staff know where the materials are located? Q Yes ❑ No Procedure for Augmenting Water Supplies Complete Tables 16 —17 by listing all available sources of water that can be used to augment or replace existing sources in an emergency. Add rows to the tables as needed. In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the warning point for that community. Municipalities are encouraged to execute cooperative agreements for potential emergency water services and copies should be included in Appendix 6. Outstate Communities may consider using nearby high capacity wells (industry, golf course) as emergency water sources. WSP should include information on any physical or chemical problems that may limit interconnections to other sources of water. Approvals from the MDH are required for interconnections or the reuse of water. 31 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Table 16.

In the situation of water contamination, water would be distributed at public works and a source for bottled water would be located to distribute. Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures Complete Table 18 by adding information about how decisions will be made to allocate water and reduce demand during an emergency. Provide information for each customer category, including its priority ranking, average day demand, and demand reduction potential for each customer category. Modify the customer categories as needed, and add additional lines if necessary. Water use categories should be prioritized in a way that is consistent with Minnesota Statutes 103G.261 (#1 is highest priority) as follows: 1. Water use for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing and waste disposal; use for on -farm livestock watering; and use for power production that meets contingency requirements. 2. Water use involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day (usually from private wells or surface water intakes) 3. Water use for agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products involving consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day (usually from private high -capacity wells or surface water intakes) 4. Water use for power production above the use provided for in the contingency plan. 5. All other water use involving consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day. 6. Nonessential uses — car washes, golf courses, etc. 32 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should be designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Lower priority uses will need to address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities must be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. Water use for lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation are legislatively considered non -essential. Table 18. Water use priorities Customer Category Allocation Priority Average Daily Demand (GDP) Short -Term Emergency Demand Reduction Potential (GPD) Residential 1 217,000 75,000 Commercial 2 59,000 11,000 Irrigation/other 3 106,000 105,000 TOTAL 382,000 191,000 GPD— Gallons per Day; *Average daily demands were calculated using average 2010-2015 water use data summed across the Hamel, Independence Beach, and Morningside systems. Tip: Calculating Emergency Demand Reduction Potential The emergency demand reduction potential for all uses will typically equal the difference between maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme emergency situations, lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect priority domestic water requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based on average day demands for customer categories within each priority class. Use the tables in Part 3 on water conservation to help you determine strategies. Complete Table 19 by selecting the triggers and actions during water supply disruption conditions. Table 19.

The enforcement response plan must outline how conditions will be monitored to know when enforcement actions are triggered, what enforcement tools will be used, who will be responsible for enforcement, and what timelines for corrective actions will be expected. 34 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Affected operations, communications, and enforcement staff must then be trained to rapidly implement those provisions during emergency conditions. Important Note: Disregard of critical water deficiency orders, even though total appropriation remains less than permitted, is adequate grounds for immediate modification of a public water supply authority's water use permit (2013 MN Statutes 103G.291) Does the city have a critical water deficiency ordinance in place that includes provisions to restrict water use and enforce the restrictions? Q Yes ❑ No If yes, attach the ordinance to this WSP as Appendix 7. If no, the municipality must adopt such an ordinance within 6 months of submitting this WSP and submit it to the DNR as an amendment to this WSP. Irrespective of whether a critical water deficiency ordinance is in place, does the public water supply utility, city manager, mayor, or emergency manager have standing authority to implement water restrictions? IZI Yes ❑ No If yes, cite the regulatory authority reference: Chapter 7: Section 710.69 If no, who has authority to implement water use restrictions in an emergency? 35 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 PART 3. WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Minnesotans have historically benefited from the state's abundant water supplies, reducing the need for conservation. There are however, limits to the available supplies of water and increasing threats to the quality of our drinking water. Causes of water supply limitation may include: population increases, economic trends, uneven statewide availability of groundwater, climatic changes, and degraded water quality. Examples of threats to drinking water quality include: the presence of contaminant plumes from past land use activities, exceedances of water quality standards from natural and human sources, contaminants of emerging concern, and increasing pollutant trends from nonpoint sources. Priority 1: Significant water reduction; low cost Priority 2: Significant water reduction; significant costs Priority 2: Slight water reduction, low costs (low hanging fruit) Priority 3: Slight water reduction,. significant costs (do only if necessary) There are many incentives for conserving water; conservation: • reduces the potential for pumping -induced transfer of contaminants into the deeper aquifers, which can add treatment costs • reduces the need for capital projects to expand system capacity • reduces the likelihood of water use conflicts, like well interference, aquatic habitat loss, and declining lake levels • conserves energy, because less energy is needed to extract, treat and distribute water (and less energy production also conserves water since water is use to produce energy) • maintains water supplies that can then be available during times of drought It is therefore imperative that water suppliers implement water conservation plans. The first step in water conservation is identifying opportunities for behavioral or engineering changes that could be made to reduce water use by conducting a thorough analysis of: • Water use by customer • Extraction, treatment, distribution and irrigation system efficiencies • Industrial processing system efficiencies • Regulatory and barriers to conservation • Cultural barriers to conservation • Water reuse opportunities Once accurate data is compiled, water suppliers can set achievable goals for reducing water use. A successful water conservation plan follows a logical sequence of events. The plan should address both conservation on the supply side (leak detection and repairs, metering), as well as on the demand side (reductions in usage). Implementation should be conducted in phases, starting with the most obvious and lowest -cost options. In some cases one of the early steps will be reviewing regulatory constraints to water conservation, such as lawn irrigation requirements. Outside funding and grants may be available for implementation of projects. Engage water system operators and maintenance staff and customers in brainstorming opportunities to reduce water use. Ask the question: "How can I help save water?" Progress since 2006 Is this your community's first Water Supply Plan? ❑ Yes 0 No 36 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 If yes, describe conservation practices that you are already implementing, such as: pricing, system improvements, education, regulation, appliance retrofitting, enforcement, etc. If no, complete Table 21 to summarize conservation actions taken since the adoption of the 2006 water supply plan.

Conservation Objectives and Strategies - Key benchmark for DNR This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use. Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non -Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10% The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water pumped to calculate unaccounted or non -revenue water loss. Is your ten-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? Q Yes ❑ No What is your leak detection monitoring schedule? (e.g. monitor 1/3rd of the city lines per year) Periodic as needed. Water Audits - are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses. The volume of unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water. Water audit 38 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 procedures are available from the AWWA and MN Rural Water Association www.mrwa.com . Drinking Water Revolving Loan Funds are available for purchase of new meters when new plants are built. What is the date of your most recent water audit? City does audits monthly Frequency of water audits: ❑ yearly 0 other (specify frequency) monthly Leak detection and survey: ❑ every year ❑ every other year Year last leak detection survey completed: N A 0 periodic as needed If Table 2 shows annual water losses over 10% or an increasing trend over time, describe what actions will be taken to reach the <10% loss objective and within what timeframe The City will continue with an ongoing meter repair and replacement program that has been established throughout the City. Annual hydrant flushing will also continue to be metered. Metering -AWWA recommends that every water supplier install meters to account for all water taken into its system, along with all water distributed from its system at each customer's point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, maintenance or replacement of all meters. AWWA also recommends that water suppliers conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Some cities install separate meters for interior and exterior water use, but some research suggests that this may not result in water conservation. Complete Table 23 by adding the requested information regarding the number, types, testing and maintenance of customer meters. Table 23. Information about customer meters Customer Category Number of Customers Number of Metered Connections Number of Automated Meter Readers Meter testing intervals (years) Average age/meter replacement schedule (years Residential 1,111 1,111 1,111 Random: Every 2 years <5 years / * Irrigation meters n/a n/a n/a Random: Every 2 years Commercial 143 143 143 Random: Every 2 years <5 years / * Industrial 0 0 0 Random: Every 2 years <5 years / * Public Facilities n/a n/a n/a Random: Every 2 years n/a Agricultural 243 243 243 Random: Every 2 years <5 years / * TOTALS 1,497 1,497 1,497 n/a n/a * Every 2 years, old meters are randomly tested to determine accuracy. The City will continue to use test information to decide when necessary to replace meters For unmetered systems, describe any plans to install meters or replace current meters with advanced technology meters. Provide an estimate of the cost to implement the plan and the projected water savings from implementing the plan. The City will use test information to decide when it is necessary to replace meters in a given area. 39 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Table 24.

Ongoing ❑ Describe other plans Objective 3: Achieve at least a 1.5% per year water reduction for Institutional, Industrial, Commercial, and Agricultural GPCD over the next 10 years or a 15% reduction in ten years. Complete Table 26 by checking which strategies you will used to continue reducing non-residential customer use demand and project a likely timeframe for completing each checked strategy (add rows for additional strategies). Where possible, substitute recycled water used in one process for reuse in another. (For example, spent rinse water can often be reused in a cooling tower.) Keep in mind the true cost of water is the amount on the water bill PLUS the expenses to heat, cool, treat, pump, and dispose of/discharge the water. Don't just calculate the initial investment. Many conservation retrofits that appear to be prohibitively expensive are actually very cost-effective when amortized over the life of the equipment. Often reducing water use also saves electrical and other utility costs. Note: as of 2015, water reuse, and is not allowed by the state plumbing code, M.R. 4715 (a variance is needed). However several state agencies are addressing this issue. Table 26.

Proposed plumbing code 4714.1702.1 http://www.dli.mn.gov/PDF/docket/4714rule.pdf ❑ Describe other plans: Objective 4: Achieve a Decreasing Trend in Total Per Capita Demand Include as Appendix 8 one graph showing total per capita water demand for each customer category (i.e., residential, institutional, commercial, industrial) from 2005-2014 and add the calculated/estimated linear trend for the next 10 years. Describe the trend for each customer category; explain the reason(s) for the trends, and where trends are increasing. For all of Medina's water districts, the residential category shows a decreasing water trend from 2007 to 2015 with a few exceptions in 2012 and 2015. Commercial customer category shows a decreasing water trend from 2009 to 2011 and a minor increase from 2012 to 2015. The City does not have records from 2005 to 2008 for the irrigation customer category. From 2009 to 2015 there is a slight increase in water usage with the exceptions of 2013 and 2014. Over time, the effects of the City water system irrigation connection ban and other education efforts should continue to lower the total per capita demand. Objective 5: Reduce Peak Day Demand so that the Ratio of Average Maximum day to the Average Day is less than 2.6 Is the ratio of average 2005-2014 maximum day demand to average 2005-2014 average day demand reported in Table 2 more than 2.6? ❑ Yes ENo Calculate a ten year average (2005 — 2014) of the ratio of maximum day demand to average day demand: 2.4 The position of the DNR has been that a peak day/average day ratio that is above 2.6 for in summer indicates that the water being used for irrigation by the residents in a community is too large and that efforts should be made to reduce the peak day use by the community. It should be noted that by reducing the peak day use, communities can also reduce the amount of infrastructure that is required to meet the peak day use. This infrastructure includes new wells, new water towers which can be costly items. Objective 6: Implement a Conservation Water Rate Structure and/or a Uniform Rate Structure with a Water Conservation Program 42 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Water Conservation Program Municipal water suppliers serving over 1,000 people are required to adopt demand reduction measures that include a conservation rate structure, or a uniform rate structure with a conservation program that achieves demand reduction. These measures must achieve demand reduction in ways that reduce water demand, water losses, peak water demands, and nonessential water uses. These measures must be approved before a community may request well construction approval from the Department of Health or before requesting an increase in water appropriations permit volume (Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291, subd. 3 and 4). Rates should be adjusted on a regular basis to ensure that revenue of the system is adequate under reduced demand scenarios. If a municipal water supplier intends to use a Uniform Rate Structure, a community -wide Water Conservation Program that will achieve demand reduction must be provided. Current Water Rates Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Appendix 9 or list current water rates including base/service fees and volume charges below. Volume included in base rate or service charge: 4,000 gallons or cubic feet _ other Frequency of billing: 1Zr Monthly ❑ Bimonthly ❑ Quarterly ❑ Other: Water Rate Evaluation Frequency: ❑ every year ❑ every _ years IZI no schedule Date of last rate change: 1/1/2016 Table 27.

This rate should be set to cover the full cost of service. o The third tier should be above the average annual use and should be priced high enough to encourage conservation, as should any higher tiers. For this to be effective, the difference in block rates should be significant. • Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands • Time of Use rates: lower rates for off peak water use • Bill water use in gallons: this allows customers to compare their use to average rates • Individualized goal rates: typically used for industry, business or other large water users to promote water conservation if they keep within agreed upon goals. Excess Use rates: if water use goes above an agreed upon amount this higher rate is charged • Drought surcharge: an extra fee is charged for guaranteed water use during drought • Use water bill to provide comparisons: simple graphics comparing individual use over time or compare individual use to others. • Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume — a base charge or fee to cover universal city expenses that are not customer dependent and/or to provide minimal water at a lower rate (e.g., an amount less than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years) • Emergency rates -A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city budgets during times of significantly less water usage. **Conservation Neutral** • Uniform rate: rate per unit used is the same regardless of the volume used • Odd/even day watering —This approach reduces peak demand on a daily basis for system operation, but it does not reduce overall water use. *** Non -Conserving *** • Service charge or base fee with water volume: an amount of water larger than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years • Declining block rate: the rate per unit used decreases as water use increases. • Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (usually unmetered). 44 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Provide justification for any conservation neutral or non -conserving rate structures. If intending to adopt a conservation rate structure, include the timeframe to do so: The City has implemented an odd/even watering restriction to reduce peak day demands during months of high water usage. Objective 7: Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use and Support Wellhead Protection Planning Development and redevelopment projects can provide additional water conservation opportunities, such as the actions listed below. If a Uniform Rate Structure is in place, the water supplier must provide a Water Conservation Program that includes at least two of the actions listed below. Check those actions that you intent to implement within the next 10 years. Table 28. Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use & Support Wellhead Protection 0 Consider participating in the GreenStep Cities Program, including implementation of at least one of the 20 "Best Practices" for water Prepare a Master Plan for Smart Growth (compact urban growth that avoids sprawl) Prepare a Comprehensive Open Space Plan (areas for parks, green spaces, natural areas) Adopt a Water Use Restriction Ordinance (lawn irrigation, car washing, pools, etc.) ❑ Adopt an Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Ordinance Adopt a Private well Ordinance (private wells in a city must comply with water restrictions) Implement a Stormwater Management Program Adopt Non -Zoning Wetlands Ordinance (can further protect wetlands beyond state/federal laws - for vernal pools, buffer areas, restrictions on filling or alterations) ❑ Adopt a Water Offset Program (primarily for new development or expansion) 0 Implement a Water Conservation Outreach Program Hire a Water Conservation Coordinator (part-time) 0 Apply for grant funding to aid in implementing a rebate program for water efficient appliances, fixtures, or outdoor water management ❑ Other Objective 8: Tracking Success: How will you track or measure success through the next ten years? Continue to monitor water usage by customer category and consider participating in the GreenStep Cities program. Tip: The process to monitor demand reduction and/or a rate structure includes: a) The DNR District Hydrologist or Groundwater Appropriation Hydrologist will call or visit the community the first 1-3 years after the water supply plan is completed. b) They will discuss what activities the community is doing to conserve water and if they feel their actions are successful. The Water Supply Plan, Part 3 tables and responses will guide the discussion. For example, they will discuss efforts to reduce unaccounted for water loss if that is a problem, or go through Tables 33, 34 and 35 to discuss new initiatives. c) The city representative and the hydrologist will discuss total per capita water use, residential per capita water use, and business/industry use. They will note trends. 45 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 d) They will also discuss options for improvement and/or collect case studies of success stories to share with other communities. One option may be to change the rate structure, but there are many other paths to successful water conservation. e) If appropriate, they will cooperatively develop a simple work plan for the next few years, targeting a couple areas where the city might focus efforts.

Retrofitting Programs Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can help reduce per capita water use, as well as energy costs. It is recommended that municipal water suppliers develop a long-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and 46 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 appliances. Some water suppliers have developed partnerships with organizations having similar conservation goals, such as electric or gas suppliers, to develop cooperative rebate and retrofit programs. A study by the AWWA Research Foundation (Residential End Uses of Water, 1999) found that the average indoor water use for a non -conserving home is 69.3 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The average indoor water use in a conserving home is 45.2 gpcd and most of the decrease in water use is related to water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances that can reduce water, sewer and energy costs. In Minnesota, certain electric and gas providers are required (Minnesota Statute 216B.241) to fund programs that will conserve energy resources and some utilities have distributed water efficient showerheads to customers to help reduce energy demands required to supply hot water. Retrofitting Programs Complete Table 30 by checking which water uses are targeted, the outreach methods used, the measures used to identify success, and any participating partners. Table 30.

C. Education and Information Programs Customer education should take place in three different circumstances. First, customers should be provided information on how to conserve water and improve water use efficiencies. Second, information should be provided at appropriate times to address peak demands. Third, emergency notices and educational materials about how to reduce water use should be available for quick distribution during an emergency. 47 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Proposed Education Programs Complete Table 31 by selecting which methods are used to provide water conservation and information, including the frequency of program components.

The City is also looking into making programs to educate school age children on water resources and the importance of water conservation in their daily routines. 50 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Part 4. ITEMS FOR METROPOLITAN AREA COMMUNITIES METROPOLITAN c c u N c I L Minnesota Statute 473.859 requires WSPs to be completed for all local units of government in the seven -county Metropolitan Area as part of the local comprehensive planning process. Much of the information in Parts 1-3 addresses water demand for the next 10 years. However, additional information is needed to address water demand through 2040, which will make the WSP consistent with the Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act, upon which the local comprehensive plans are based. This Part 4 provides guidance to complete the WSP in a way that addresses plans for water supply through 2040. A. Water Demand Projections through 2040 Complete Table 7 in Part 1D by filling in information about long-term water demand projections through 2040. Total Community Population projections should be consistent with the community's system statement, which can be found on the Metropolitan Council's website and which was sent to the community in September 2015. Projected Average Day, Maximum Day, and Annual Water Demands may either be calculated using the method outlined in Appendix 2 of the 2015 Master Water Supply Plan or by a method developed by the individual water supplier. B. Potential Water Supply Issues Complete Table 10 in Part 1E by providing information about the potential water supply issues in your community, including those that might occur due to 2040 projected water use. The Master Water Supply Plan provides information about potential issues for your community in Appendix 1 (Water Supply Profiles). This resource may be useful in completing Table 10. You may document results of local work done to evaluate impact of planned uses by attaching a feasibility assessment or providing a citation and link to where the plan is available electronically. C. Proposed Alternative Approaches to Meet Extended Water Demand Projections Complete Table 12 in Part 1F with information about potential water supply infrastructure impacts (such as replacements, expansions or additions to wells/intakes, water storage and treatment capacity, distribution systems, and emergency interconnections) of extended plans for development and redevelopment, in 10-year increments through 2040. It may be useful to refer to information in the community's local Land Use Plan, if available. Complete Table 14 in Part 1F by checking each approach your community is considering to meet future demand. For each approach your community is considering, provide information about the amount of 51 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 future water demand to be met using that approach, the timeframe to implement the approach, potential partners, and current understanding of the key benefits and challenges of the approach. As challenges are being discussed, consider the need for: evaluation of geologic conditions (mapping, aquifer tests, modeling), identification of areas where domestic wells could be impacted, measurement and analysis of water levels & pumping rates, triggers & associated actions to protect water levels, etc. D. Value -Added Water Supply Planning Efforts (Optional) The following information is not required to be completed as part of the local water supply plan, but completing this can help strengthen source water protection throughout the region and help Metropolitan Council and partners in the region to better support local efforts. Source Water Protection Strategies Does a Drinking Water Supply Management Area for a neighboring public water supplier overlap your community? 0 Yes ❑ No If you answered no, skip this section. If you answered yes, please complete Table 32 with information about new water demand or land use planning -related local controls that are being considered to provide additional protection in this area. Table 32. Local controls and schedule to protect Drinking Water Supply Management Areas Local Control Schedule to Implement Potential Partners ❑ None at this time 0 Comprehensive planning that guides development in vulnerable drinking water supply management areas Following the implementation of this plan City of Orono Zoning overlay ■ Other: Technical assistance From your community's perspective, what are the most important topics for the Metropolitan Council to address, guided by the region's Metropolitan Area Water Supply Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Committee, as part of its ongoing water supply planning role? IZ Coordination of state, regional and local water supply planning roles ❑ Regional water use goals 0 Water use reporting standards 0 Regional and sub -regional partnership opportunities ❑ Identifying and prioritizing data gaps and input for regional and sub -regional analyses ❑ Others: 52 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 GLOSSARY Agricultural/Irrigation Water Use - Water used for crop and non -crop irrigation, livestock watering, chemigation, golf course irrigation, landscape and athletic field irrigation. Average Daily Demand - The total water pumped during the year divided by 365 days. Calcareous Fen - Calcareous fens are rare and distinctive wetlands dependent on a constant supply of cold groundwater. Because they are dependent on groundwater and are one of the rarest natural communities in the United States, they are a protected resource in MN. Approximately 200 have been located in Minnesota. They may not be filled, drained or otherwise degraded. Commercial/Institutional Water Use - Water used by motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, commercial facilities and institutions (both civilian and military). Consider maintaining separate institutional water use records for emergency planning and allocation purposes. Water used by multi- family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior housing complexes, and mobile home parks should be reported as Residential Water Use. Commercial/Institutional/Industrial (C/I/1) Water Sold - The sum of water delivered for commercial/institutional or industrial purposes. Conservation Rate Structure - A rate structure that encourages conservation and may include increasing block rates, seasonal rates, time of use rates, individualized goal rates, or excess use rates. If a conservation rate is applied to multifamily dwellings, the rate structure must consider each residential unit as an individual user. A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city budgets during times of significantly less water usage. Date of Maximum Daily Demand - The date of the maximum (highest) water demand. Typically this is a day in July or August. Declining Rate Structure - Under a declining block rate structure, a consumer pays less per additional unit of water as usage increases. This rate structure does not promote water conservation. Distribution System - Water distribution systems consist of an interconnected series of pipes, valves, storage facilities (water tanks, water towers, reservoirs), water purification facilities, pumping stations, flushing hydrants, and components that convey drinking water and meeting fire protection needs for cities, homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, industries and other facilities. Flat Rate Structure - Flat fee rates do not vary by customer characteristics or water usage. This rate structure does not promote water conservation. Industrial Water Use - Water used for thermonuclear power (electric utility generation) and other industrial use such as steel, chemical and allied products, paper and allied products, mining, and petroleum refining. 53 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 Low Flow Fixtures/Appliances - Plumbing fixtures and appliances that significantly reduce the amount of water released per use are labeled "low flow". These fixtures and appliances use just enough water to be effective, saving excess, clean drinking water that usually goes down the drain. Maximum Daily Demand - The maximum (highest) amount of water used in one day. Metered Residential Connections - The number of residential connections to the water system that have meters. For multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user. Percent Unmetered/Unaccounted For - Unaccounted for water use is the volume of water withdrawn from all sources minus the volume of water delivered. This value represents water "lost" by miscalculated water use due to inaccurate meters, water lost through leaks, or water that is used but unmetered or otherwise undocumented. Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice skating rinks, and public swimming pools should be reported under the category "Water Supplier Services". Population Served - The number of people who are served by the community's public water supply system. This includes the number of people in the community who are connected to the public water supply system, as well as people in neighboring communities who use water supplied by the community's public water supply system. It should not include residents in the community who have private wells or get their water from neighboring water supply. Residential Connections - The total number of residential connections to the water system. For multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user. Residential Per Capita Demand - The total residential water delivered during the year divided by the population served divided by 365 days. Residential Water Use - Water used for normal household purposes such as drinking, food preparation, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, flushing toilets, and watering lawns and gardens. Should include all water delivered to single family private residences, multi -family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior housing complexes, mobile home parks, etc. Smart Meter - Smart meters can be used by municipalities or by individual homeowners. Smart metering generally indicates the presence of one or more of the following: • Smart irrigation water meters are controllers that look at factors such as weather, soil, slope, etc. and adjust watering time up or down based on data. Smart controllers in a typical summer will reduce water use by 30%-50%. Just changing the spray nozzle to new efficient models can reduce water use by 40%. • Smart Meters on customer premises that measure consumption during specific time periods and communicate it to the utility, often on a daily basis. • A communication channel that permits the utility, at a minimum, to obtain meter reads on demand, to ascertain whether water has recently been flowing through the meter and onto the 54 Local Water Supply Plan Template —September 30 2015 premises, and to issue commands to the meter to perform specific tasks such as disconnecting or restricting water flow. Total Connections - The number of connections to the public water supply system. Total Per Capita Demand - The total amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during the year divided by the population served divided by 365 days. Total Water Pumped - The cumulative amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during the year. Total Water Delivered - The sum of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, water supplier services, wholesale and other water delivered. Ultimate (Full Build -Out) - Time period representing the community's estimated total amount and location of potential development, or when the community is fully built out at the final planned density. Unaccounted (Non -revenue) Loss - See definitions for "percent unmetered/unaccounted for loss". Uniform Rate Structure - A uniform rate structure charges the same price -per -unit for water usage beyond the fixed customer charge, which covers some fixed costs. The rate sends a price signal to the customer because the water bill will vary by usage. Uniform rates by class charge the same price -per - unit for all customers within a customer class (e.g. residential or non-residential). This price structure is generally considered less effective in encouraging water conservation. Water Supplier Services - Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice skating rinks, public swimming pools, city park irrigation, back -flushing at water treatment facilities, and/or other uses. Water Used for Nonessential Purposes - Water used for lawn irrigation, golf course and park irrigation, car washes, ornamental fountains, and other non -essential uses. Wholesale Deliveries - The amount of water delivered in bulk to other public water suppliers.

As per your request we are offering a maintenance quotation for the immediate removal and inspection to well pump #3 at Hamel water system. We recently upgraded well pump #4, and are familiar with the site, but not this well. From the information you provided I have estimated the materials and quantities required to complete this project.

It has a dead short between the windings, which could have been caused by either power loss while running, power fluctuations, or lightning. There is a history with power issues at this well. I will be recommending electrical motor protection (below) to resolve this issue in the future. The City received the following two quotes to repair Well #3: • Bergerson — Caswell Inc. $7,725.00 • E.H. Renner & Sons $9,718.00 Both quotes include a comparable electrical protection option, electrical wire and install cost, as well as a rebate from Xcel Energy. I am recommending Bergerson-Caswell Inc. at the estimated total repair cost of $7,725.00, which includes a project cost of $4775.00, Electrical Protection Option 1 of $2,700.00, electrical wire and install cost of $1500.00, plus a rebate from Xcel Energy of $1,250.00. Feel free to read the full report from Bergerson-Caswell to get the complete history concerning Well #3. We feel confident that the pump itself is in good shape and we will be able to re -use all of the existing piping; however, we won't know the full extent of the damage until the pump is pulled.

We inspected well pump #3 yesterday and discovered the submersible motor has failed. It has a dead short between the windings which could have been caused a couple of different ways. If it were running and the power company lost a phase. It was hit by lighting. A wide varying range of power (high —low) that is uneven on all three legs. Possibly the motor power leads are shorting to ground. Based on the length of time this installation has been in the ground and the recent history that we have with the installation I believe this installation does have a power problem. We repaired and reconditioned the entire installation in 2007, then 18 months later the motor failed which we did warrant, and now it is 2 years later and it has failed again. This type of failure is occurring in roughly the same length of time, which indicates weakening a motor over time with the varying voltage as mentioned above. ! was looking through a few of our performance tests and located one were the voltage supplied from Xcel Energy was 504/ 506/ 507 volts on the three different phases, and 18 months later during the next test the power supplied was 480/ 481/ 480 volts. The first test has voltages that are just above the allowed voltages for power supplier. Our tests are instantaneous, and may not be a good representation of what the pump motor actually is supplied. This varying power is not uncommon in rural areas, and there are ways to clean the power a motor receives with VFD's and DVDT line filters. It is difficult to determine what exactly caused the failure, especially before the equipment has even been removed from the well. Therefore my thoughts above are just initial references to use for trouble shooting. The pump has to be removed too determine the cause of the failure, and even then it may not provide obvious answers. Below is a cost to remove the pump, replace the motor and other required materials for reinstallation, along with pricing for other materials that are a part of this installation, but as always the final project cost will be based on the actual components replaced. PROJECT COST Labor to remove well pump #3 and inspect it for evaluation: 1) Labor and equipment to mobilize, remove pump, & check current well variables. 2) Inspect all pumping equipment removed from well, recommend options/ actual costs for repair, and replacement.

We met at the pump house and determined there is indeed either a hole in the drop pipe or the pump assembly is wearing out quickly. Most likely a hole in the drop pipe, and the pump cannot build pressure and shut off. This can be verified when the pump is removed and inspected. Based on the equipment that is in this well I have provided additional pricing for other components that may be required as well as services to the well, such as wire brushing and air lifting the materials that have deteriorated from the casing. These items are itemized below and based on the following installation data. The pump is a 4" Webtrol series 70- (10 Hp) but the motor is a 6 15 Hp Franklin 230v/3ph/60hz, & it is set on Galvanized 3" approximately 178' deep, with AWG #6 Flat submersible wire (that may need a ground), and it is unclear if there is a check valve in line, but if so it would be a 3" check valve.

As requested we removed and inspected the well #4 installation. This pump quit working and is tests with a dead short, and will need to be repaired or replaced. This well pump has been installed since 2003 and is over sized for your current needs of pumping to the water treatment plant. Based on what we uncovered the motor requires reconditioning & rewinding (if reused) or it can be replaced with new. Now if it is to be replaced I would recommend a 125 Hp motor and de -staging the pump to a 7 stage pump. And the final option is to replace entire pump and motor with a high speed Grundfos pump and Franklin Motor. in addition to these items I have recommended and listed out a few additional items no matter which option is elected, two new check valves, pitless o-rings and cover gasket also need to be replaced along with some other misc. items. Below is a breakdown of pricing for these specific items.

The City's multimodal transportation system includes facilities for personal vehicles, freight, walking, and bicycling. Facilities are operated by a number of agencies, including the City of Medina, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, MnDOT, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad and Canadian Pacific (CP) Railroad. This transportation chapter has been prepared in compliance with state statues and applicable Metropolitan Council guidelines. As part of this plan, the City has reviewed existing and future conditions for each mode and identified safety, operations, and network improvements that will be important to address before 2040. The City has also developed goals, objectives, and strategies to preserve and improve the transportation system. This transportation plan includes the following information: 1. Summary of Regional Strategies 2. Existing Roadway System 3. Future Roadway System 4. Existing and Planned Non -Motorized Transportation Network 5. Freight 6. Transit 7. Aviation 8. Goals, Objectives and Multimodal Strategies 9. Proposed Short and Long Range Roadway Projects 10. Public Comments 11.

CSAH: County State Aid Highway - county -owned roadway that receives State Aid funding. MnDOT: Minnesota Department of Transportation. RBTN: Regional Bicycle Transportation Network - existing and planned regional bicycle network established by the Metropolitan Council. TH: Trunk Highway - State highway owned and operated by MnDOT. TPP: Transportation Policy Plan - Regional transportation plan for the Twin Cities metropolitan region, developed by the Metropolitan Council. Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 2 1. Summary of Regional Strategies This plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation strategies outlined in the Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). The TPP is a regional plan that evaluates the existing transportation system, identifies transportation challenges to the region, and sets regional goals, objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current residents while accommodating the regions anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local agencies in coordinating land use and transportation and established regional performance measures and targets. The TPP is guided by the following goals: • Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation system are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system assets. • Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and secure for all users. • Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a reliable, affordable, and efficient multimodal transportation system that connects them to destinations throughout the region and beyond. • Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the economic competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. • Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system advances equity and contributes to communities' livability and sustainability while protecting the natural, cultural, and developed environments. • Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The region leverages transportation investments to guide land use and development patterns that advance the regional vision of stewardship, prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability. Chapter 10-Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 3 Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue will not meet the region's transportation needs through 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two long-term investment scenarios: a fiscally -constrained scenario under current revenue, and an increased revenue scenario that identifies priorities should additional transportation funding become available. Under the current fiscally constrained revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and maintenance of the existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are limited to those that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would allow additional investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However, congestion cannot be greatly reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both scenarios, proposed investments are focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing and future challenges and anticipated growth. Medina is classified by the Metropolitan Council under the Emerging Suburban Edge and Diversified Rural community designations. Limited growth is expected in these types of communities. As a result, the TPP does not include any planned regional investments in Medina. Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 4 2. Existing Roadway System The sections below provide information about the existing roadway system in Medina, including existing number of lanes, existing roadway jurisdiction, existing functional classification, existing traffic, existing safety, and access management. This chapter also includes summary recommendations from recent plans and corridor studies. 2.1. Functional Classification The functional classification system groups roadways into classes based on roadway function and purpose. Functional classification is based on both transportation and land use characteristics, including roadway speeds, access to adjacent land, connection to important land uses, and the length of trips taken on the roadway. The functional classification system organizes a roadway and street network that distributes traffic from local neighborhood streets to collector roadways, then to minor arterials and ultimately the principal arterial system. Roads are placed into categories based on the degree to which they provide access to adjacent land and mobility for through traffic. Functional classification gives an indication of the relative hierarchy of roadways in the transportation network. lOQuyv :Gbowl Four classes of roadways are included in the Seven -County Metropolitan Area functional classification system: principal arterials, minor arterials, collector streets, and local streets. Figure 10-1 shows the existing functional classification of each road in the City of Medina and Figure 10-2 shows existing roadway jurisdiction. The following sections describe each functional class in greater detail and indicate which roadways fall into each classification. Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 5 2.1.1. Principal Arterials Principal arterials are roadways that provide the greatest level of mobility and access control. Within the metropolitan area, the great majority of principal arterials are under MnDOT jurisdiction. Principal arterials are typically Interstate highways or other state or US freeways or expressways. These facilities are intended to serve trips greater than 8 miles and express transit trips. Spacing of principal arterials varies within developing areas of the metropolitan area. Typically these facilities are spaced between two and six miles apart. These facilities connect regional business and commercial concentrations, transportation terminals, and large institutions within the metropolitan areas. Principal arterials also connect to other cities, regions, and states outside of the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are intended to maintain average speeds of 40 mph during peak traffic periods. To maintain mobility and speeds on principal arterials, land access and transportation system connections are limited. There is little to no direct land access from principal arterials. Access is limited to interstate freeways, other Principal Arterials, and A Minor Arterials. Access points are typically grade -separated or controlled with a signal and are spaced approximately one to two miles apart. Within the City of Medina, there are two existing principal arterials. MnDOT Trunk Highway (TH) 55 generally follows the northern boundary of the City, connecting Medina with Plymouth, Corcoran, and Greenfield. US Highway 12 passes through the southwest corner of the City, but does not have any access points within the City. The 2040 Transportation Policy Plan does not propose any additional principal arterials within the City.

Minor Arterials Minor arterials maintain a focus on mobility, but provide more land access than principal arterials. Within the City of Medina, all minor arterials are under Hennepin County jurisdiction. Minor arterials are intended to serve trips of four to eight miles in length. Within developing areas of the metro, these facilities are spaced between one and two miles apart. Minor arterials connect cities and towns within the region and link to regional business and commercial concentrations. Access points along minor arterials are generally at -grade and typically controlled with signals or stop signs. During peak traffic, minor arterials in developing areas are intended to maintain 30 mph average speeds. Land access is limited to concentrations of commercial and industrial land uses. The Metropolitan Council has established a system of "A" Minor and "B" Minor arterials. "A" Minor arterials are eligible for federal funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has further split "A" Minor arterials into four types, described below: • Relievers: Arterials located parallel to congested principal arterials. The purpose of "A" Minor Relievers is to provide additional capacity in congested corridors. • Augmenters: Arterials that supplement the principal arterials system within urban centers and urban communities. • Expanders: Arterials that supplement principal arterials in less -densely developed areas of the metro area. • Connectors: Arterials that provide connections between rural towns and connect rural areas with the principal arterial system. Given the purpose of "A" Minor Relievers and Augmenters, there are no existing or planned relievers or augmenters within the City. "A" Minor arterials in Medina include the following roadways: "A" Minor Expanders • County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 101 "A" Minor Connectors • CSAH 19 • CSAH 11 • CSAH 24 "B" Minor arterials have a similar focus on mobility above land access. These roadways connect major traffic generators in the region. "B" Minor arterials are not eligible for federal funding. "B" Minor arterials within the City include the following: • Willow Drive N (between CSAH 24 and Medina -Orono border) • County Road (CR) 116 Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 9 2.1.3. Major and Minor Collectors Major and minor collector roadways provide linkages to larger developments and community amenities. They generally do not link communities to one another. Collector roadways generally favor access to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. These roadways are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. They are usually owned and operated by cities, although counties operate some of these facilities. Within the City of Medina, most collector roadways are owned and operated by Hennepin County. Collectors are intended to serve trips of one to four miles in length. Collectors link minor arterials, other collectors, and local streets. Major collectors typically serve higher density residential areas and concentrations of commercial and industrial land uses. These facilities tend to serve longer trips than minor collectors. Major collectors within the City include the following: • CSAH 115 (Hamel Road) • CR 201 (Parkview Drive/ Homestead Trail) Minor collectors serve lower trips than major collectors and typically link lower density residential and commercial land uses. Existing Minor collectors within the City include: • Willow Drive N (between Medina -Corcoran border and TH 55) • CR 116 (Arrowhead Drive) 2.1.4. Local Roadways The primary function of local roadways is land access. Local roadways are all roadways that are not arterials or collectors. Local roadways connect individual land parcels with other local roadways and collectors. Trips on local roadways are typically less than two miles and speeds are typically low. Local roadways are under the jurisdiction of the City of Medina. Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 10 2.1.5. Planned Functional Classification Several functional classification changes are recommended in response to changes in traffic patterns, development patterns, and increased population and employment in the City. Planned functional classification changes are listed below. Change from B-Minor Arterial to Minor Collector: • Willow Drive south of CSAH 24 Change from a B-Minor Arterial to A -Minor Arterial: • CR 116 Change from a local street to Minor Collector: • Hackamore Road/Arrowhead Drive • Medina Road • Hunter Drive • Brockton Lane (south of TH 55) • Chippewa Road • Willow Drive (south of CSAH 24) Additionally, one jurisdictional transfer is under consideration. Peony Lane in the City of Plymouth has been discussed as a potential new Hennepin CSAH 101 alignment to tie directly into CSAH 101 south of TH 55. The City of Medina should proactively communicate any concerns to the County regarding a potential turn -back of the existing CSAH 101 north of TH 55 to a Medina city street. Figure 10-3 provides a map illustrating the existing and planned functional classification system for the City of Medina.

Existing Roadway Capacity and Safety Roadway capacity and roadway safety are two key indicators of how well the roadway system is meeting the City's transportation needs. The sections below provide information to better understand capacity and safety issues within Medina. 2.2.1. Existing Roadway Capacity A roadway's capacity indicates how many vehicles may use a roadway before it experiences congestion. Capacity is largely dependent upon the number of lanes. Table 1 below lists planning -level thresholds that indicate a roadway's capacity. Additional variation (more or less capacity) on an individual segment is influenced by a number of factors including: amount of access, type of access, peak hour percent of traffic, directional split of traffic, truck percent, opportunities to pass, and amount of turning traffic, the availability of dedicated turn lanes, parking availability, intersection spacing, signal timing and a variety of other factors. Table 1: Planning -level Roadway Capacity Roadway Type Maximum Daily Traffic (two-way) Two-lane, undivided - urban Two-lane, undivided - rural 8,000 - 10,000 vehicles 14,000 - 15,000 vehicles Three -lane - urban 14,000 - 17,000 vehicles Four -lane undivided - urban 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles Four -lane divided - urban 28,000 - 32,000 vehicles Four -lane divided - rural 32,000 - 36,000 vehicles 2.2.2. Existing Capacity Problems on Arterial Roads At the planning level, capacity problems are identified by comparing the existing number of lanes with current traffic volumes. Table 2 and Figure 104 illustrate the existing number of lanes on arterial roadways within the City. Figure 10-5 illustrates existing traffic volumes on Principal Arterial, A -Minor Arterial and other significant roadways within the City. As shown in the table, TH 55 is the only arterial roadway with four lanes. TH 55 is a rural undivided four -lane roadway within most of the City. As shown in Table 1, its capacity is approximately 32,000-36,000 vehicles per day. TH 55 currently experiences some peak hour congestion through Medina, but is currently under capacity.

Existing Safety Problems on Arterial Roadways Roadway safety problems were identified through an analysis of MnDOT crash data for the three-year period from 2012 to 2014. Crash rates were calculated and compared to MnDOT averages for similar roadways. MnDOT has established critical crash rates for different types of roadways. If crash rates at a location are above the critical crash rate, it indicates that the location has a crash rate that is statistically significant. In other words, it indicates that there may be a design issue, signal issue, or some other operational factor negatively impacting safety at a particular location. MnDOT has also established average crash severity rates for different types of roadways. If a location has a severity rate above the average rate, it indicates that crashes result in more severe injuries than at similar locations. Chapter 10-Transportation c 1 T Y O MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 16 Several intersections in Medina have crash rates that exceed the critical crash rates and severity rate. These intersections include: • TH 55 & CSAH 19 • CSAH 19 & CSAH 24 • TH 55 & CSAH 101 • TH 55 & Pinto Drive • Pinto Drive & Clydesdale Trail • TH 55 & Willow Drive North Further study is recommended to identify specific safety issues and design, intersection control or other countermeasures that could be effective at reducing the rate and severity of crashes at these locations. Chapter 10 - Transportation MEDINA Adopted December, 2016; Amended October, 2017 Page 10- 17 2.3. Access Management The purpose of access management is to provide adequate access to adjacent land development while maintaining acceptable traffic flow on higher level roadways. Management consists of carefully controlling the spacing and design of public street intersections and private access points to the public roadway system. Arterials, being designed for higher speed, longer distance trips, generally have reduced or restricted access, while local streets can accommodate much greater access. Collector roadways fall in between arterials and local roadways regarding the amount of access that is permitted. The agency with jurisdiction over a roadway sets access management guidelines. Access to TH 55 and US 12 must meet MnDOT access management guidelines and is permitted subject to conditions. See Tables 3.1 and 3.2 for MnDOT Access Management Guidelines. Given the vision of TH 55 as a future freeway, additional direct access to TH 55 is discouraged, and existing direct access should be redirected to a frontage/backage road system as opportunities present themselves. Hennepin County has established access management guidelines for urban (areas within the 20- year MUSA boundary) and rural areas (areas outside the MUSA boundary). Hennepin County access management guidelines are displayed in Table 4. Hennepin County requires permits for new driveway access to county roads and when land uses change at a site adjacent to a county road. Hennepin County typically requires that new access points meet its guidelines; however, the county can make exceptions to the guidelines with sufficient justification. Appendix A provides illustrations of Hennepin County typical sections for various roadway types that all require different levels of access control and right-of-way. The City of Medina also has access management guidelines for city streets, as displayed in Table 5. The City uses these guidelines when permitting new access to city streets. It should be noted that there are existing access points that do not meet City, County, and MnDOT access spacing guidelines. In many cases these access points were established prior to agency access spacing guidelines. In other cases the agency has granted an exception to the existing guidelines. As roadways are reconstructed, each of these agencies generally works to modify and/or relocate access points that do not meet current access spacing guidelines.

Recommendations from Recent Plans and Studies Three roadways within the City have been the subject of recent plans and studies. In 2013, the City led a traffic analysis study of CR 116 from north of Hackamore Road to south of Meander Road and Hackamore Road from west of CR 116 to east of CSAH 101. Additionally, the City was a key partner with MnDOT in developing a preliminary corridor design concept for TH 55. The recommendations of these plans and studies are summarized in the sections below. 2.4.1. CR 116/Hackamore Road Traffic Analysis Study In 2013, the City led a traffic analysis study of CR 116 and Hackamore Road, in response to several recent and planned residential developments in the area. The study recommendations included the following modifications to CR 116 and Hackamore Road: • Addition of a southbound and northbound through lane, eastbound and westbound left and right turn lanes at the CSAH 101/Hackamore Road intersection • Addition of protected -permissive or flashing yellow arrow left turn phasing for eastbound and westbound left turns at CSAH 101/Hackamore Road • Reconstruction of CR 116 as a four -lane roadway with right and left turns lanes at all intersections south of Meander Road to north of Hackamore Road • Addition of left- and right -turn lanes eastbound and westbound at Hackamore Road/Hunter Road and Hackamore Road/Bergamot Drive intersections. Additional right-of-way will be needed for the recommended roadway projects. A 120 foot proposed right-of-way on CR 116 and a 100 foot proposed right-of-way on Hackamore Road centered on the existing right-of-way will provide adequate space for the road with a few exceptions for the proposed trail near several intersections. It is also recommended that a 5-10 foot permanent easement be included to account for the trail meeting ADA requirements at the intersections along CR 116. The permanent easements are recommended to be dedicated with new development or redevelopment adjacent to CR 116 or purchased from property owners in areas that are not being newly developed or redeveloped. 2.4.2. TH 55 Corridor Expansion Preliminary Design Concept In 2007, MnDOT completed a preliminary corridor design concept for TH 55 from I-494 in Plymouth to the Crow River in Rockford. An EA/EAW was completed in 2008. Funding has not yet been identified to advance right-of-way acquisition or construction. The City was a key partner in developing the concept and is supportive of TH 55 expansion to address existing and future congestion on the highway. Within Medina, the concept is to convert TH 55 into a four -lane expressway west of CR 116. East of CR 116, TH 55 would be converted into a hybrid freeway/expressway, with grade separation at key intersections and an expressway design that minimizes right-of-way and fits well within existing development. Chapter 10 - Transportation G , T Y O MEDINA, Page 10- 23 Adopted December, 2016 3. Future Roadway System This section addresses future roadway improvement needs and roadway design guidelines. 3.1. Roadway Capacity - Traffic Forecasting To determine future roadway capacity needs, year 2040 traffic forecasts were prepared using the Metropolitan Council travel demand model. The model was refined for application specifically for Medina. The 2040 projections were compared against the assumed 2040 roadway network to see where roadway segment capacity deficiencies may result. The 2040 roadway network assumed for this analysis is the same as the current roadway network, as the City and County Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) do not include any projects that add significant capacity to the roadway network. While the travel demand model is a valuable tool for identifying future traffic based on the proposed land use impacts, it is not meant for use in detailed traffic operations studies. For a more accurate representation of the transportation impacts from specific developments, detailed traffic studies should be conducted to determine the operational impacts on adjacent roadways and intersections. A central concept of travel demand forecasting is the use of Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs). Each forecast study area, in this case the City of Medina, is divided into a series of TAZs. Each TAZ has land use data which indicates trip generation and trip attraction including population, household, and employment data. Figure 10-6 displays Metropolitan Council TAZs within Medina. The results of the Medina modeling process are summarized on Figure 10-7, which displays 2040 projected average daily traffic volumes compared to the Hennepin County 2030 forecast and 2013/2014 traffic volumes. In most cases, the Hennepin County 2030 forecast volumes are greater than the 2040 projected volumes. The 2030 forecasts were prepared in 2005-2007, when development pressure was high and the City and region were experiencing high growth in emerging suburban communities. Development slowed significantly due to the 2008 recession and mortgage crisis. Additionally, in the ten years since 2030 forecasts were prepared; the Metropolitan Council shifted the distribution of regional growth to urban and developed suburban communities. As a result, the 2040 population and employment forecasts are approximately 20 percent lower than the 2030 forecasts and therefore 2040 traffic forecasts are generally lower than 2030 forecasts.

Nearly all roadways in the City have adequate capacity to handle forecast 2040 traffic volumes with little to minimal congestion. These roadways are expected to function well with two lanes through the 2040 planning horizon. Table 7: Planning -Level Roadway Capacity Maximum Daily Traffic Roadway Type (two-way) Two-lane, undivided - urban 8,000 - 10,000 vehicles Two-lane, undivided - rural 14,000 - 15,000 vehicles Three -lane - urban 14,000 - 17,000 vehicles Four -lane undivided - urban 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles Four -lane divided - urban 28,000 - 32,000 vehicles Four -lane divided - rural 32,000 - 36,000 vehicles Two roadways within the City are expected to reach or exceed capacity by 2040. Rural two-lane undivided roadways are assumed to have a maximum capacity of 14,000-15,000 vehicles per day. Traffic volumes on CR 116 are expected to reach 17,450 vehicles per day in 2040. Traffic volumes on TH 55 west of Arrowhead Drive (two-lane section) are forecast to reach 21,000 vehicles per day. These two-lane roadways will become congested if they are not expanded by 2040. These needs were confirmed in the CR 116/Hackamore Road Traffic Analysis Study and the TH 55 Corridor Expansion Planning described above in Section 3.4. Other roads to monitor congestion levels on include CSAH 101 and CSAH 19 with forecasted 2040 volumes of 13,350 and 13,700 respectively. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 28 Adopted December, 2016 4. Existing and Planned Non -Motorized Transportation Network This section addresses network needs for walking and bicycling within the City of Medina. This section also addresses the needs of people using wheelchairs and assistive mobility devices such as mobility scooters, as they are considered pedestrians. Enhancing the non -motorized elements of Medina's transportation system is a key goal in terms of improving transportation sustainability in the City and in the region. This approach gives residents an alternative to driving, supports transportation options for people who do not have consistent access to a personal vehicle, and encourages healthy activities and lifestyles. This section includes information on the existing non -motorized transportation network within Medina, connections to land use planning, the planned local non -motorized transportation network, and the planned regional non -motorized transportation network. This section also includes recommendations for intersection improvements and design best practices. 4.1. Existing Non -Motorized Transportation Network The existing non -motorized transportation system consists of sidewalks, multi -use paved trails, turf trails, and paved shoulders. Sidewalks are generally located within residential developments, including those off of Arrowhead Drive, Meander Road, and Hunter Lane. There is also a sidewalk along Hamel Road, between Hunter Road and Brockton Lane. Local multi -use paved trails are located along CR 116, CSAH 101, Sioux Drive, Hunter Drive, Red Oak Drive, and portions of Meander Drive and Willow Drive. Regional multi -use trails are located along CSAH 19 and within Baker Park Reserve. These trails are collectively known as the Lake Independence Regional Trail and are owned and operated by Three Rivers Park District. Existing turf trails are located off Bridgewater Road, east of the Bridgewater development. Paved shoulders for bicycling and walking are located along CR 115/Hamel Road, Medina Road, and CSAH 24. There are also paved shoulders along TH 55; however, bicycling and walking along TH 55 is not recommended due to high speeds and traffic volumes. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 29 Adopted December, 2016 4.2. Connections to Land Use Planning The City of Medina has development patterns consistent with its designation as an Emerging Suburban Edge and Rural Diversified community. Existing residential development is low density and commercial land uses are separated from residential land uses. This means that people walking and bicycling must cover greater distances to reach commercial areas from their homes. The development patterns in the City are better suited to bicycling than walking, due to the distance between residential and commercial areas of the City. There are also commercial and institutional destinations in Plymouth and Orono that are within biking distances of most residences in Medina, including Wayzata High School, Orono High School, and commercial areas in the western portion of Plymouth. There are currently limited facilities for walking and bicycling in the City, and these facilities serve recreational uses better than transportation uses. There is not currently a connected network in place to serve the needs of people bicycling and walking for transportation. The City's land use planning and coordination with developers can help improve opportunities for walking and bicycling for transportation. The City can encourage mixed -use development that situates residents within a short walk of commercial destinations. The City can also work with developers to construct sidewalks and trails within developments. Additionally, the City can require pedestrian and bicycle connections in areas where the roadway network does not connect, such as cul-de-sac connector trails that provide shortcuts for people walking and bicycling. 4.3. Planned Local Non -Motorized Transportation Network The City's planned local non -motorized transportation network includes paved multi -use trails, turf trails, and paved shoulders along most roadways. When the network is complete, it will link residential areas with commercial, institutional, and recreational development within the City. The network will improve options for people to walk and bicycle for transportation within the City, and facilitate regional connections (described in greater detail in the following section). The proposed network is shown in Figure 10-7. 4.4. Planned Regional Non -Motorized Transportation Network Several existing and planned trails and shoulders will be key links in the expanding regional non -motorized transportation network. The Metropolitan Council established a Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) in 2015. The RBTN establishes regional priorities for bicycle transportation so that regional destinations are accessible by bicycle. The Metropolitan Council established RBTN alignments in areas where existing facilities created a clear connection between regional destinations. RBTN corridors were identified in areas where there are several options for connections between regional destinations. The RBTN is further divided into two tiers. Tier 1 alignments/corridors are expected to attract the most bicycle use and are the highest priority for regional investments. Tier 2 alignments/corridors are the second priority for regional investments. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 30 Adopted December, 2016 The Lake Independence Regional Trail and portions of CSAH 101 have already been identified as Tier 2 RBTN Alignments. As part of the comprehensive planning process, the Metropolitan Council requests that the City of Medina select specific alignments for the Tier 2 RBTN Corridors that have been identified within the City. The City identifies the following existing and planned facilities are Tier 2 RBTN Alignments: • Existing shoulder on CSAH 24 • Existing shoulder on Medina Road, between Tamarack Drive and Hunter Drive • Existing trail along Hunter Drive • Planned trail along Tamarack Drive between Medina Road and Medina -Orono boundary • Planned trail between Tamarack Drive and Medina Road • Planned trail along Sioux Drive and Hamel Road • Planned trail along TH 55, between CSAH 101 and Wayzata High School These alignments will have priority over other connections if the City applies for Federal non - motorized transportation funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District will also be valuable partners as the City works to implement RBTN connections, as several of these alignments appear on county and park district plans. The Metropolitan Council Parks Policy Plan also identifies two Regional Trail Search Corridors within the City. Regional Trail Search Corridors indicate the desire for a regional trail within a broad area, with the exact alignment to be determined through the trail master planning process. The North -South 1 Regional Trail Search Corridor is identified as a north -south connection in the eastern portion of the City. The Lake Sarah Extension Regional Trail Search Corridor is an east -west connection that roughly follows CSAH 115. It is expected that Three Rivers Park District will lead the alignment selection and master planning process for both of these trail search corridors. Regional trails are designed to provide more of a recreational experience; however, many regional trails also serve valuable transportation purposes for pedestrians and bicyclists. 4.5. Intersection Improvements for Bicycling and Walking TH 55 is a barrier for people walking and bicycling within the City. TH 55 also limits pedestrian and bicycle connections to Corcoran. Currently, there are 7 at -grade pedestrian and bicycle crossings of TH 55: • CSAH 19 • Pioneer Trail • Willow Drive • Arrowhead Drive • CSAH 116/Pinto Drive • Clydesdale Trail • CSAH 101/Sioux Drive Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 31 Adopted December, 2016 These crossings are challenging for pedestrians and bicyclists due to lengthy crossing distances, long signal cycles that result in extended waits to cross TH 55, and the lack of sidewalk or trail on roadways that cross TH 55. The City should work with MnDOT to explore opportunities to improve crossing opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross TH 55. Grade -separated crossings may be a possible consideration; however, these should be designed carefully so that they do not greatly increase the time and distance for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross TH 55. Other design solutions include constructing pedestrian refuge medians and reducing turning radii to shorten crossing distances. 4.6. Non -Motorized Transportation Design Considerations Design dimensions for sidewalks are recommended to be five -feet or wider, with a minimum of a four -foot wide boulevard between the sidewalk and the curb. Increased separation improves pedestrian comfort and provides space for street signs and snow storage. Multi -use trails are recommended to be a minimum of eight -feet wide. Regional trails are recommended to be a minimum of ten -feet wide due to higher use and the design requirements to comply with federal funding. Trails must have a two -foot wide clear zone on either side to reduce hazards for bicyclists and provide a recovery zone if a bicyclist leaves the edge of the trail. The clear zone can be paved or turf surface. No signs, furnishings, trees, or other obstructions can be in the clear zone. Paved shoulders should be a minimum of four -feet wide if intended for bicycle and pedestrian use. Four -foot wide shoulders are adequate on streets with traffic volumes below 1,000 vehicles per day. Six- to eight -foot shoulders are recommended when traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicles per day. A wider shoulder improves pedestrian and bicyclist safety and comfort when vehicle traffic speeds and volumes are higher. As non -motorized facilities are planned and designed, the City should consult additional planning and design resources, including: • Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan • Hennepin County Pedestrian Plan • MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Manual • Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices • Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities - American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities - American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) - US Access Board Accessibility is a very important consideration for non -motorized design. All new pedestrian and bicycle facilities must meet the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility guidelines established in PROWAG. The guidelines in PROWAG address the design needs of people with physical and/or visual impairments. Accessibility will become increasingly Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 32 Adopted December, 2016 important over the next 20 years due to demographic changes. Baby boomers are aging and the population over age 65 is increasing. People over 65 are more likely to have physical and/or visual impairments that affect their ability to get around. To address accessibility issues, it is recommended that the City develop and implement an ADA transition plan to bring sidewalks, trails, and intersections into compliance with ADA. Existing and proposed Bicycle and Pedestrian Network facilities are illustrated in Figure 10-8. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 33 Adopted December, 2016 55 �I 2�♦S2♦:�:D24 �:♦�fi�i�i�i!i��i l� i j NARMOn i � OAK CIF ' CHEROKEE K O Y U Q K Q g tQ- 0 IAP 5. Freight Freight transportation in Medina is primarily served by two rail lines and two principal arterial highways. Figure 10-9 shows the City's freight system and potential freight generators. A Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line passes through the northern portion of the City and is parallel to TH 55 for a portion of its route. A Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line is parallel to US 12 and passes through the southwest corner of the City. There are no large freight traffic generators within the City. Most truck and rail traffic is passing through Medina on trips to, from, and through the Twin Cities. Freight traffic generators are located along TH 55 and portions of the CP rail line. There are concentrations of industrial land uses near Willow Drive and Arrowhead Drive. The Hennepin County Public Works facility is also located near Arrowhead Drive and generates heavy vehicle traffic due to roadway maintenance and plowing operations. Commercial land uses generate some freight traffic along TH 55, between Pinto Drive and CSAH 101. Within the City of Medina, there are no freight generators along the BNSF rail line and US 12. Figure 10-10 shows Heavy Commercial Average Annual Daily Traffic (HCAADT) within Medina. TH 55 carries the greatest number of heavy commercial vehicles (500-2,499 vehicles per day). Additionally, TH 55 is a house mover route. CSAH 19 also carries a substantial amount of heavy commercial traffic, with heavy vehicles composing 8-10 percent of all traffic. As of January 2015, the CP rail line carries approximately 20 trains per day and the BNSF rail line carries approximately 17 trails per day. The 2040 TPP notes that freight rail traffic has increased substantially since 2010, both regionally and nationally. Increases in freight rail traffic are expected, especially as the Twin Cities population continues to grow. The BNSF rail line does not cross any roadways within the City. There are five locations in the City where the CP rail line crosses public roadways at -grade. The CP rail line crosses the following roadways: • Pioneer Trail • Willow Drive • Arrowhead Drive - crossing includes overhead flashers • Pinto Drive - crossing includes overhead flashers • Sioux Drive Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 35 Adopted December, 2016 Greenfield Intlependence 55 L R c CSAH 11 I Vinland National `\!

The rail line also crosses several driveways at grade. Rail crossings of driveways are signed with cross bucks and stop signs directed driveway traffic. The 2040 TPP acknowledges several freight challenges that impact the City and the region. As mentioned above, freight traffic and congestion are expected to increase and place pressure on the regions highway and rail systems. East -west traffic on the CP and BNSF lines has increased in part due to growth in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota and Montana. Safety is also an increasing concern, particularly rail safety related to increases in Bakken crude oil being transported through the region on the CP and BNSF lines. Additionally, there are concerns about compatibility between freight traffic and adjacent land use. While land use adjacent to the City's primary freight routes is generally compatible with existing land uses, it will be important to ensure that future development is also compatible with freight operations. While residential areas are generally not located adjacent to rail crossings, residents have reported concerns about noise from train horns. As rail traffic grows, the City can consider opportunities to develop Quiet Zones at rail crossings. Quiet Zones are segments of rail lines where horns are not routinely sounded at crossings. Quiet Zones must meet specific design criteria and safety measures to minimize risk at rail crossings. There are also traffic concerns, related to crossings of the CP rail line. As noted above, the CP rail line is parallel to TH 55 for much of its route through Medina. When trains cross Arrowhead and Pinto Drives, traffic will sometimes back up on TH 55 as vehicles are unable to make southbound turns off TH 55. Additionally, traffic will also back up when trains cross CSAH 19 in Loretto. Backups sometimes extend south to CSAH 11, creating traffic problems within Medina. The City should continue to monitor traffic concerns related to rail crossings and partner with MnDOT, Hennepin County, and CP Rail to resolve issues related to traffic congestion and safety. Two strategies are recommended to preserve and improve freight conditions in Medina. The first is to work with MnDOT to preserve overhead clearance on TH 55 so it can continue to function as a house mover route. The second is to work with MnDOT and CP Rail to study the feasibility of rail crossing quiet zones to reduce train noise in residential areas. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 38 Adopted December, 2016 6. Transit The City of Medina is not in the Transit Capital Levy District as shown in the 2040 TPP. The City is located within Transit Market Area V, which indicates that the City has very low population and employment densities. For this reason, there are no existing or planned transit routes, transit stations or centers, or park and ride facilities. No high frequency transit routes, express bus corridors, or transit advantages are planned for the City. The City is served by Hennepin County Transit Link, a dial -a -ride service for the general public. Transit Link provides connections to destinations within Hennepin County. Transit Link also connects to regular route transit for trips within the metro area, including outside of Hennepin County. Medina residents also have opportunities to participate in the Metro Vanpool program. This program provides financial assistance for vanpools to serve areas with limited regular - route transit service. It is recommended that the City periodically consider whether to extend TH 55 express bus service to Medina. Plymouth Metrolink and possibly Maple Grove Transit would be partners in expanding transit service. Participating in transit service would require Medina to participate in the regional transit capital levy, which would require coordination with the Metropolitan Council. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 39 Adopted December, 2016 7. Aviation There are currently no existing or planned aviation facilities within the City of Medina. However, the City is responsible for airspace protection in order to reduce hazards to air travel within the region. The closest airports to Medina are: • Buffalo Municipal Airport, approximately 14 miles northwest of Medina • Minneapolis Crystal Airport, approximately 9 miles east of Medina Given the distance to the nearest airports, there are no radio beacons or other air navigation aids located in off -airport locations in Medina. The City is not within the area of influence of any of the airports identified above, and is therefore not subject to associated land use restrictions. Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the project. This notification is accomplished through the completion and submittal to FAA of Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. In Medina, this requirement applies to any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level. The City's zoning code allows a maximum structure height of 40 feet; therefore it is unlikely that any structures in the City will require FAA notification. MnDOT has authorized seaplane operations on Lake Independence on the western edge of the City. There are no seaplane bases located within the City. There are currently no heliports in Medina or any known plans to construct one. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 40 Adopted December, 2016 8. Goals, Objectives, and Multimodal Strategies This Plan, and the City's actions over the next 20 years, will be guided by the following transportation goals, objectives, and strategies. 8.1. Goals and Objectives Table 8 displays the goals and objectives of the Medina Transportation Plan. The goals listed below represent the City's overall vision for transportation over the next 20 years. The objectives listed below provide guidance that the City can use to reach the transportation goals. 8.2.

Proposed Short and long Range Roadway Projects The sections below identify proposed short and long range roadway projects identified in the City's CIP and based on the capacity and safety analyses described in previous sections of this Plan. This section does not include information on proposed projects from the 2040 TPP, as the TPP does not include any planned improvements to principal arterials in Medina. No interchanges, MnPASS lanes, dedicated busways, or bus -only shoulders are proposed in the 2040 TPP. 9.1.1. Proposed Projects from CIP The City's 2016-2020 CIP identifies several roadway projects. These projects are primarily overlay projects intended to maintain the roadway surface. The exception is the improvements the TH 55/CR 116 intersection. This project is led by Hennepin County with coordination and cost participation from the City of Medina. Construction is planned for 2017. The project will include replacing the existing signal system at TH 55, constructing raised medians on CR 116, modifying accesses, upgrading the railroad crossing, and constructing a multi -use trail on the east side of CSAH 115 between TH 55 and Tower Drive. 9.1.2. Proposed Projects based on Capacity Analysis As mentioned in Section 3, Future Roadway Conditions, CR 116 and the two-lane segment of TH 55 are the only roadways that are expected to exceed their planning level capacity threshold by the 2040 forecast year. The projects described below are recommended in order to manage congestion within the City. It is recommended that the City, County, and MnDOT continue to monitor traffic conditions on these roadways and plan for future expansion. The CR 116/Hackamore Road Traffic Analysis Study described in Section 2, Existing Roadway System, recommended expanding CR 116 to a four -lane roadway. Section 2 also describes the TH 55 Corridor Expansion Plan recommended converting TH 55 into a four -lane expressway west of CR 116. East of CR 116, TH 55 is recommended to be converted into a hybrid freeway/ expressway. Additionally, traffic volumes on CSAH 19 and CSAH 101 should be monitored, with two-lane volumes forecasted in the mid -teens by 2040. The City and County should monitor traffic conditions along these roadways over the 20-year planning horizon. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 57 Adopted December 2016 9.1.3. Proposed Projects based on Safety Analysis Based on the safety analysis described in Section 2, Existing Roadway System, there are several intersections that have crash rates that exceed the critical crash rates and severity rate. These intersections include: • TH 55 & CSAH 19 • CSAH 19 & CSAH 24 • TH 55 & CSAH 101 • TH 55 & Pinto Drive • Pinto Drive & Clydesdale Trail • TH 55 & Willow Drive North Further study is recommended to identify specific projects that could be effective at reducing the rate and severity of crashes at these locations. It is recommended that safety projects be pursued at these locations, in partnership with Hennepin County and MnDOT. Additionally, it is recommended that the City of Medina undertake a detailed traffic/operations study along Sioux Drive from TH 55 to Hamel Road to explore safety and operations improvement options. The Sioux Drive Corridor includes an existing signalized intersection at TH 55, which transitions into a steep grade incline heading south along Sioux Drive into a three-legged intersection at Sioux Drive and Hamel Road. The intersection of Sioux Drive and Hamel Road has stop signs at the east and west Hamel Road approaches and a free flow condition for northbound traffic heading into the intersection along Sioux Drive. The steep uphill grade heading south into the Hamel Road/Sioux Drive intersection creates sight distance problems and an at -grade railroad crossing along Sioux Drive between Hamel Road and TH 55 also is a safety and traffic flow concern. 9.1.4. Proposed Projects based on Land Use and Development Transportation needs in the City will shift as development occurs. Narrow rural roadways, paved or unpaved, will no longer be suitable in certain areas. Three roadways are recommended for improvement as development occurs: Brockton Lane, Hackamore Road, and Tamarack Drive. Brockton Lane is currently a two-lane rural roadway with no shoulders that serves as a common boundary between the cities of Medina and Plymouth. The Brockton Lane corridor from Hamel Road to Medina Road is beginning to urbanize and the corridor is likely to experience significant growth in the future. As this corridor develops and reconstruction becomes necessary to improve safety, operations and to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, the cities of Medina and Plymouth will need to cooperatively develop a shared design vision for Brockton Lane. This shared vision should be consistent along the corridor and include a cooperative municipal agreement regarding cost sharing and funding for future reconstruction and ongoing regular maintenance. Hackamore Road is a partially paved/partially gravel two-lane rural roadway with no shoulders that serves as a common boundary between the cities of Corcoran and Medina. Hackamore Road intersects Hennepin CR 116/Pinto Road and Hennepin CSAH 101/Brockton Chapter 10 -Transportation G% T Y O F MEDINA Page 10- 58 Adopted December 2016 Lane and curves south on its west end becoming Arrowhead Drive. Hackamore Road is beginning to urbanize and the corridor is likely to experience significant growth in the future. As this corridor develops and reconstruction becomes necessary to improve safety, operations and to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, the cities of Corcoran and Medina will need to cooperatively develop a shared design vision for Hackamore Road. This shared vision should be consistent along the corridor and include a cooperative municipal agreement regarding cost sharing and funding for future reconstruction and ongoing regular maintenance. The City of Medina should improve the existing gravel Tamarack Drive from Hamel Road to TH 55 to a State -Aid standard two-lane roadway. A new alignment of Tamarack Drive should also be constructed to State Aid standards north of TH 55 to Meander Road and south of TH 55 to CSAH 24, with a new signal installed at TH 55. These improvements to Tamarack Drive are required to accommodate future land use growth planned in the vicinity of Tamarack Drive, north and south of TH 55. Chapter 10 -Transportation MEDINA Page 10- 59 Adopted December 2016 10. Public Comments Draft transportation plan strategies were presented for public comment at May 2016 open house meetings. Meeting attendees were asked to identify their top priorities for the transportation plan and provide comments about specific strategies or transportation issues. Highest priority strategies: • Improve safety at TH 55 intersection with CR 116 • Plan for a traffic signal at TH 55 and Tamarack Drive • Explore extension of express bus service to Medina • Develop a multi -use trail along Tamarack Drive Comments on roadway strategies: • Pave the northwest portion of Arrowhead Drive • Install a traffic signal at CR 116 and Meander Drive Comments on freight strategies: • Reduce train noise at Arrowhead Drive • Reduce train noise at Pinto Drive Comments on bicycle/pedestrian strategies: • Opposition to proposed turf trails between Tamarack Drive and Willow Drive, south of CR 115 • General support for pedestrian and bicycle improvements Chapter 10 -Transportation G' T V O F MEDINA Page 10- 60 Adopted December 2016 11. Conclusion and Next Steps The purpose of this Transportation Plan is to set a multimodal transportation vision for the City of Medina through the year 2040. Goals, objectives and specific strategies have been identified collaboratively by the City, Hennepin County, MnDOT and citizens within the framework of Metropolitan Council requirements. The vision and associated strategies outlined in this Plan were established by considering existing and forecasted conditions, City of Medina priorities, regional travel patterns and a variety of other factors. As the owners of the transportation network in the City of Medina (i.e. City of Medina, Hennepin County and MnDOT) advance their respective Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs), this Plan is intended to serve as an important resource and reference in establishing priorities and advancing transportation projects for implementation. Advancing these projects from a planning to implementation phase will require collaborative discussions among the City, County, MnDOT, adjacent communities, Met Council, residents and others to conduct traffic studies, finalize designs, preserve rights -of -way, obtain environmental clearances and leverage necessary financial resources. Figure 10-13 on the following page outlines the entire planning and project development process required for transportation projects from concept plans to construction implementation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. Local Surface Water Management Plan Purposes This Local Surface Water Management Plan (Plan) serves as a comprehensive planning document to guide the City of Medina in conserving, protecting, and managing its surface water resources. The City will use the SWMP as a guide to reach goals related to water quality, volume reduction and flood management. The plan meets the requirements of Minnesota Statutes 10313.235, Minnesota Rules 8410, the Elm Creek and Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commissions' Third Generation Watershed Management Plans, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan, and Minnesota Statue 10313.01. The purposes of the water management programs are to: • Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; • Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; • Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; • Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; • Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; • Promote groundwater recharge, where beneficial; • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and • Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. The Medina Surface Water Management Plan addresses these purposes. 1.2. Executive Summary The Medina Surface Water Management Plan is divided into six sections: • Section 1.0 Executive Summary provides background information and summarizes the plan contents. • Section 2.0 Land and Water Resource Inventory presents information about the topography, geology, groundwater, soils, land use, public utilities, surface waters, hydrologic system and data, and the drainage system. • Section 3.0 Agency Cooperation outlines other governmental controls and programs that affect stormwater management. • Section 4.0 Assessment of Problems and Issues presents the City's water management related problems and issues. • Section 5.0 Goals and Policies outlines the City's goals and policies pertaining to water management. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 1 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-1 SECTION 1 • Section 6.0 Implementation Program presents the implementation program for the City of Medina, which includes defining responsibilities, prioritizing, and listing the program elements. • Section 7.0 Administration outlines the continued administration of this plan with respect to plan updates and amendments, as well as annual reporting requirements to MCWD. To implement this Plan, a coordinated water resource management approach must be used. This approach must utilize various City and watershed management organization personnel having jurisdiction within the City. Listed below is the contact information for personnel and organizations having responsibilities for administering and implementing portions of this Plan: City of Medina — http://www.ci.medina.mn.us Steve Scherer 2052 County Road 24 Medina, MN 55340 763-473-8842 — steve.scherer@d.medina.mn.us Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission — http://www.elmcreekwatershed.org Judie Anderson 3235 Fernbrook Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 763-553-1144 — judie(a�jass.biz Minnehaha Creek Watershed District — hfp://www.minnehahacreek.org Becky Christopher 15320 Minnetonka Blvd. Minnetonka, MN 55345 952-471-0590— bchristopherkminnehahacreek.org Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission — hitp://www.pioneersarahcrepk.OT Judie Anderson 3235 Fernbrook Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 763-553-1144 — judie@jass.biz Metropolitan Council — http://www.metrocouncil.org Judy Sventek 390 N.

LAND AND WATER RESOURCE INVENTORY 2.1. Physical Setting 2.1.1. Topography and Geology The bedrock beneath Medina is relatively flat, though intermittent ridges run from the center of the City to the southeast and southwest. Medina's bedrock is now buried beneath surficial Quaternary glacial and fluvial deposits. These deposits consist mainly of clayey till in the western half of the City with sandy till dominating the eastern half. Post -glacial organic deposits and pockets of Lacustrine sand and silt from the Des Moines and Grantsburg sublobe deposits are interspersed throughout the City and overlay the till material. The depth to bedrock within the City ranges from about 100 to 400 feet depending on the location within Medina. The Hennepin County Geologic Atlas shows the actual elevation of the bedrock being 650 to 800 feet. The Tunnel City Group and St. Lawrence bedrock formations lie beneath the City's northwest corner and cover nearly half the municipal area. The formation transitions to a relatively thin band of Jordan Sandstone oriented from northeast to southwest. Much of the bedrock beneath southeastern Medina consists of St. Peter sandstone except for the extreme southeastern corner, from Holy Name Lake to the southern border, where Ordovician Prairie du Chien bedrock group is found. A ridge consisting of Jordan sandstone runs south above this Prairie du Chien formation from Holy Name Lake south to Lake Minnetonka. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Minnesota Stormwater Manual and other commonly used design guidance documents identify near surface bedrock as a constraint to infiltration practices. Medina's geology is such that bedrock depth constraints to infiltration will not occur. Additional geological information can be found in the Geological Atlas of Hennepin County (Minnesota Geologic Survey, 1989). Topography varies within the City from nearly level to gently and moderately sloping. The highest elevations range from approximately 1,050 to 1,060 feet (all elevations are mean sea level) at various points in the northwest and center of the City. The lowest elevations range from approximately 940 to 950 feet at points near the eastern edge of Lake Independence and near the Elm Creek crossing at Trunk Highway 55. The City of Medina has contour data that covers the entire City and is based on 2011 LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. Medina's stormwater generally flows in five directions. Northeast Medina drains to Elm Creek. Elm Creek flows out of Medina near where Trunk Highway 55 leaves the City. A small watershed in the north central area of Medina drains north to Rush Creek. A majority of western Medina drains west to Lake Independence. A small portion of the northwest corner of Medina drains to Lake Sarah. In its southwest, Medina drains to Painter Creek while southeast Medina drains to Long Lake. Figure 3 provides an overview of drainage patterns within Medina. The City meet the volumes and rates of stormwater identified within the watershed District models 2.1.2. Climate and Precipitation The climate within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is typical of a continental climate. Without Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-1 SECTION 2 the buffering influence of large bodies of water, cold winters and hot summers predominate. It is generally understood that global climate change has an effect on the Metropolitan Area's local climate. One area where climate change manifests itself is in rainfall intensities and rainfall depths. The Metropolitan Area has seen more intense rainfalls the last two decades and even the average rainfalls seem more intense. The implications are clear: • Flood control facilities, if designed for the 100-year rainfall, may get larger as the statistical 100-year rainfall gets larger. • Facilities designed for smaller events, such as infiltration areas and small storm sewer may also get larger as rainfall depths increase for the 1-year to 5-year rainfall events. The total average annual precipitation in the Metropolitan Area is approximately 30.6 inches. The total average annual snowfall is approximately 54.4 inches. Average monthly temperature, precipitation, and snowfall are shown in Table 2.1. TABLE 2.1 - AVERAGE MONTHLY CLIMATE DATA, MINNEAPOLIS/ST.

Soils Because of its preponderance of wetlands, Medina has many soils with little or no infiltration capacity. Hydrologic Soil Groups characterize diverse soils by similar infiltration capacity. Group A soils have the highest infiltration capacity while Group D have the lowest. Generally, infiltration is not an appropriate practice on Hydrologic Soil Group C and D soils. Group A — These soils have high infiltration rates even when thoroughly wetted. Based on the Minnesota Stormwater Manual, published by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the infiltration rates range from 0.8 to 1.63 inches per hour. These soils consist chiefly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands and gravel. Group A soils have a high rate of water transmission, therefore resulting in a low runoff potential. Group B — These soils have moderate infiltration rates ranging from 0.3 to 0.45 inches per hour when thoroughly wetted. Group B soils consist of deep moderately well to well drained soils with moderately fine to moderately coarse textures. Group C — These soils have slow infiltration rates 0.2 inches per hour when thoroughly wetted. Group C have moderately fine to fine texture. Group D — These soils have very slow infiltration rates ranging from 0 to 0.06 inches per hour when thoroughly wetted. Group D soils are typically clay soils with high swelling potential, soils with high permanent water table, soils with a clay layer at or near the surface, or shallow soils over nearly impervious material. Figure 4 provides hydrologic soil groupings for soils in Medina. Although the map indicates a significant percentage of Group B soils, historical knowledge indicates that Group C and D are more prominent. Additional information on Medina's soils can be obtained from the Hennepin County Soil Survey. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-3 SECTION 2 2.1.4.Land Use The City's land use practices include agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, and private and public open spaces. The majority of the City is rural with areas of urban development in the northeast along the Trunk Highway 55 corridor and east of Lake Independence where access to existing utilities and transportation makes such development more viable. Figure 6 shows Medina's 2040 land use. Medina's 2040 land use plan is based on an existing land use inventory and maintains the City's rural focus while still providing areas for urban growth. These urban growth areas concentrate along the Trunk Highway 55 corridor where existing transportation facilities and utility infrastructure can support such density. A fairly low percentage of the City's overall land is anticipated to change. A large amount of land is designated as open space primarily due to expansive water and wetlands. Preserving these areas helps Medina maintain the rural and natural qualities of the community. The Land Use chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan outlines each phase of development to occur up to 2040. Land use data is an important factor for estimating surface water runoff. The hard or impervious surface areas associated with each land use greatly affect the amount of runoff generated from an area. Future land use projections indicate those areas that may be available for water resource enhancement and where improvements should be a priority. Significant changes in land use can increase runoff due to added impervious surfaces. However, changes in land use also allow for the construction of stormwater BMPs. Additionally, Medina is primarily a rural community. Agricultural row crop land uses generate relatively high total suspended solids loads and nutrient runoff. Development of agricultural land will results in a net reduction in the total suspended solids loads through construction of BMPs to meet local regulations for treatment. 2.2. Water Resources Data 2.2.1. Wetlands Figure 7 shows the wetland inventory and management class for wetlands located in Medina. The 2007 wetland inventory included an on -the -ground assessment of approximately 640 wetlands within the city. Each wetland was assessed for a variety of functions and values, and assigned a management classification based on the findings. Information gathered during the wetland assessment determines the stormwater management and buffer requirements for each wetland. Figure 8 shows larger wetlands and lakes from the National Wetland Inventory over which the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) has jurisdiction. Minnesota protects all wetlands through its Wetland Conservation Act. The wetlands and lakes under MnDNR jurisdiction have an added level of protection. 2.2.2.Major Bodies of Water Medina's major water bodies list includes all the named, largest MnDNR protected water bodies identified on Figure 8. These water bodies include the following: Ardmore, Half Moon, Holy Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-4 SECTION 2 Name, Independence, Katrina, Medina, Mooney, Peter, School, Spurzem, Thies and Wolsfeld Lakes. None of the lakes within the City of Medina are used for surface water appropriations. The City has classified the MnDNR Public Waters/Wetlands within its Shoreland Overlay District regulations according to Table 2.3. Unnamed Lake #27-150 is often referred to as School Lake.

Water Courses Medina has no rivers, but does have some notable creeks within its jurisdiction. Elm Creek drains northeast to Medina. The Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission is charged with protecting Elm Creek and managing its watershed. Spurzem Creek drains northwest as it flows through Peter, Spurzem, and Half Moon lakes and the numerous wetlands and marshes adjacent to these. Spurzem Creek ends at Lake Independence. Lake Katrina in southwest Medina is the head waters for Painter Creek, which flows 6.2 miles, predominantly through ditches, to Jennings Bay in Lake Minnetonka. Sarah Creek drains northwest to Medina. Beginning at Trunk Highway 55 and passing near Loretto, Sarah Creek enters Lake Sarah soon after leaving Medina. The City has one jurisdictional ditch identified within its boundaries and it drains to the north central portion of the City located within the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission's boundaries. It is identified as County Ditch 26. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-5 SECTION 2 2.2.4. Monitored Water Quality and Quantity Data The City will continue to support monitoring of surface waters within its jurisdictional boundaries and outside these boundaries for waters to which the City discharges. Data will be obtained through cooperation and coordination with other various agencies, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, cities adjacent to Medina, the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Elm Creek and Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commissions, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and Three Rivers Park District. Three Rivers Park District implements a comprehensive monitoring program to determine the quality of water resources in the Park District. Staff has collected samples from 10 lakes including Independence, Spurzem, Rebecca, Medicine, Auburn, Fish, Weaver, Zumbra, and 18 bays on Lake Minnetonka, at two week intervals throughout the summer. Of those, Lake Independence and Spurzem are within the boundaries of Medina. The monitoring is done to track water quality trends, and determine if management efforts are successful. The quantity and quality of inflow to lakes is also periodically measured by staff to determine the sources of pollution entering Park District water resources. Monitoring data from the lakes sampled by Three Rivers Park District staff is available on their website at: https://www.threeriversparks.org/page/water Other water quality information can be found from the watershed management organizations having jurisdiction within the City, Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on the following websites: • Pioneer -Sarah Watershed Management Organization monitoring information can be found at: http://www.pioneersarahcreek.orv,/water-quality.html • Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission monitoring information can be found at: http://www.elmcreekwatershed.ora/water-qualiiy-overview.html • Minnehaha Creek Watershed District information can be found at: http://www.niinnehahacreek.org/data-center • Metropolitan Council monitoring information, including the Citizen -Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP), can be found at: http://www.metrocouncil.org/Wastewater-Water/Services/Water-Quali-Manafzement.as px?source=child • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP) information can be found at: http://www.pca.state.nm.us/water/clmp.html 2.2.5.Impaired Waters The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is required to publish a list of impaired waters; these are lakes and streams in the state that are not meeting federal water quality standards. For each water body on the list, the MPCA is required to conduct a study to determine the allowable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each pollutant that exceeds the standards. Impaired waters in Medina, or those receiving discharge from Medina, are summarized in Table 2.4.

A more detailed discussion on the status of the TMDLs can be found in Section 5. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-7 SECTION 2 2.2.6. Groundwater Appropriations The City of Medina updated their Wellhead Protection Plan in August, 2013 and it is effective until 2023. The entire City is within either a low vulnerability or very low vulnerability Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA). The DWSMA vulnerability is determined using geologic, soils and groundwater chemistry information. The designation indicates that the aquifer is covered by at least 50 feet of clay material. The City will be required to incorporate the requirements of the Wellhead Protection Plan into their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) for areas located within vulnerable source water protection areas (NPDES MS4 General Permit). Vulnerable Source Water Protection areas are those areas susceptible to contamination of the water supply from activities at the land surface and are based on the following three components: geologic sensitivity, well construction maintenance and use, and water chemistry and isotopic composition. The MDH has identified vulnerable source water protection areas and currently no areas within the City of Medina are identified as such. Regardless of vulnerable source water protection areas being located within Medina they will incorporate the guidance developed by the MDH on evaluating proposed stormwater infiltration projects in vulnerable source water protection areas and also the guidance located within the Minnesota Stormwater Manual on designing infiltration BMPs while protecting groundwater. This will be of a particular concern in areas where infiltration is being considered in soils suitable for rapid infiltration adjacent to municipal and private wells. The City will need to amend its groundwater appropriations permit from the DNR when their existing allocation is met. The City has also instituted an Irrigation Well Policy in its Code of Ordinances. The City gathers information on the water levels and usage from irrigation wells constructed with development through developer's agreements. Protection of the aquifers described above is crucial in maintaining Medina's long term water supply. Achieving this will require cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) in developing their Wellhead Protection Plan. The goal of protecting Medina's water supply wells are to: • Reduce the use of costly treatment facilities • Avoid the drilling of new wells • Avoid the need to clean up contaminated groundwater • Wellhead protection is a means of protecting public water supply wells by preventing contaminants from entering the area that contributes water to the well or well field over a period of time. 2.3. Natural Resources Data 2.3.1. Water -based Recreation Areas The City of Medina has public areas for access to water based recreation and activities: Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-8 SECTION 2 Baker Park Reserve: Baker Park Reserve, an area encompassing approximately 2,108 acres and managed by the Three Rivers Park District, is located in the southwest area of the City and provides numerous water based recreation activities. In addition to the numerous trails and campgrounds located within the Reserve, boat access and fishing docks are provided at Spurzem Lake, Lake Independence and Half Moon Lake and swimming areas are provided at Lake Independence. Independence Beach Park — Lakeshore: The City of Medina operates the relatively small Independence Beach Park, located along the eastern edge of Lake Independence and north of Baker Park Reserve. Holy Name Lake Park: The City operates a small park along the south shore of Holy Name Lake. 2.3.2.MLCCS and MCBS The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System, or MLCCS, categorizes urban and built up areas in terms of land cover rather than land use. MLCCS serves as a tool for City staff to integrate natural area preservation into land planning, land use, and zoning decisions. The City is dominated primarily by a mixture of forested areas, planted or cultivated vegetation, and herbaceous vegetation. The remaining areas are classified as artificial surfaces mainly located along the Trunk Highway 55 corridor and pockets of shrubland can be found throughout the City. Figure 11 provides MLCCS coverage for Medina. According to the MnDNR, the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS) began in 1987 as a systematic survey of rare biological features on a county -by -county basis. Medina has several areas identified with rare biological features. These are generally in close proximity to Medina's open space and park land and include instances of cattail marsh, lowland hardwood forest, maple -basswood forest, oak forest, shrub swamp, tamarack swamp, wet meadow, and willow swamp. The survey shows areas of outstanding and high ratings of biodiversity in Medina in the southwest corner of the municipal boundary. The DNR has jurisdiction over these areas. Based on state statute any work within these areas is required to meet DNR permit requirements. Figure 12 provides the locations of rare and biological features in the City of Medina. 2.3.3. Unique Features and Scenic Areas The Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) lies on Medina's south border. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources manages Wolsfeld Woods and all other SNAs in Minnesota. Minnesota statute stipulates that any water within an SNA is an Outstanding Resource Value Water (ORVW). This designation provides statutory protection to Wolsfeld Lake that does not occur for other water bodies within Medina. Specifically, Minnesota Rule 7050.0180 on Nondegradation for Outstanding Resource Value Waters prohibits discharge from the City's storm water system to Wolsfeld Woods and Wolsfeld Lake. Additionally, Medina is not allowed any new or expanded discharges to Wolsfeld Woods since the date it was designated a Scientific and Natural Area. Under its NPDES permit requirements, Medina must submit with its permit application: • A list of ORVWs within the City (Wolsfeld Woods being the sole ORVW in Medina), Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 2 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-9 SECTION 2 • A map of drainage areas to the ORVW, • An estimate of the existing impervious coverage and proposed impervious coverage based on Medina's comprehensive plan, • An assessment of how Medina's SWPPP will adequately eliminate new and expanded discharges, • And suggested modifications to the SWPPP if new and expanded discharges are not adequately eliminated by the current SWPPP. Medina completed this assessment in the spring of 2009 and provided it for public comment during their typical MS4 annual public meeting presentation. The assessment showed that due to the land use changing from primarily agriculture to low density rural residential (10 acre lots or greater) that the Total Phosphorous, Total Suspended Solids, and Volume has decreased since 1988 and is anticipated to decrease into the 2040 Comprehensive Planning year. Based on a review of the aerial image from 2009 compared to 2016, there has been limited development in the area tributary to Wolsfeld Woods. The City will continue to monitor this as development occurs. 2.3.4. Key Conservation Areas The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has prepared a map identifying key conservation areas found throughout the District. The map identifies several areas with the City of Medina and they are located within the Wolsfeld Woods drainage area. The City will be able to use this, along with the MLCCS data as a tool to integrate preservation of natural resources, including upland areas, into land planning, land use, and zoning decisions. The map of the Key Conservation Areas can be found on the districts website under their comprehensive water resource management plan at: http://www.minnehabacreek.or. 2.4. Water Resources Related Agreements This section summarizes those water resources related agreements the City of Medina has established with other entities. 2.4.1. Elm Creek WMC Joint Powers Agreement The ECWMC was formed in 1973 as a joint powers organization by the cities of Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medina, Plymouth and the Hennepin Conservation District. In 2004, Medina became party to an amended and restated Joint Powers Agreement reestablishing the ECWMC with Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Rogers and Hassan Township. 2.4.2. Pioneer -Sarah Creek WMC Joint Powers Agreement Medina was signatory to the 1994 Joint Powers Agreement, along with Corcoran, Greenfield, Independence, Loretto, Maple Plain, Minnetrista, Watertown Township, and Hennepin Conservation District, which established the PSWMC.

City of Medina The Medina Public Works Department is in charge of all the public facilities in Medina and the Public Works staff maintains city roads, parks, sanitary and storm sewers, and the water utility. Public Works staff provides the design, operation and repair work necessary to prevent flooding and improve water quality in Medina's drainage system. The Public Works Department coordinates with watershed management organizations and other outside agencies in water resource management and conservation. The Medina Planning and Zoning Department manages comprehensive planning and administers the City's land and building code (City Code Chapter 8). Chapter 8 includes performance management standards that cover water resource management issues such as: construction site erosion control, floodplain management, shoreland preservation, tree preservation, and wetland protection. The Stormwater Management Ordinance is Section 828.33 of City Code Chapter 8. Additionally, the City is in the process of updating its Stormwater Design Guide. The Stormwater Design Guide has been incorporated by reference into Medina's City Code. Ordinances can be found in Appendix D. The City's environment code (City Code Chapter 5) contains the additional regulations related to surface water management: • Section 510 Boats, Harbors, and Waters • Section 512 Surface Use of Lake Independence • Section 520 Turf Fertilizer Containing Phosphorus Further information on municipal regulations summarized in Table 3.1 can be obtained from the City's website at http://www.ci.medina.mn.us. 3.2. Hennepin County The County provides many services within the City of Medina, including health services and property and vital records. Hennepin County was the first county to begin groundwater planning in 1988, with authority delegated to the Hennepin Conservation District. Hennepin County has assumed all duties and responsibilities of the Hennepin Conservation District. That groundwater plan received state approval in March 1994. Although the county has not formally adopted the plan, the county is proceeding with implementation of many aspects of the plan. In addition, the County's Department of Environment and Energy provides education, outreach, and funding to individuals and organizations. These programs include the Hennepin County River Watch and the Wetland Health Evaluation Program. Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy provides technical assistance to county residents, local government units, watershed organizations, and other agencies. They have assisted local governments with implementation of natural resource management plans, the Wetland Conservation Act, natural resource education, and application of sound natural resource practices. Their programs are funded through County allocation, grants, and contracts with local government units, contracts with watershed organizations, and state and federal cost share. Within the City of Medina, the Department of Environment and Energy provides administration and technical services, including project review, for the Pioneer -Sarah Watershed Management Commission and Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission. http://www.hennepin.us/ Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-2 SECTION 3 3.3. Three Rivers Park District Three Rivers Park District is an independent, special park district established by the State Legislature in 1957. As a special park district, Three Rivers Park District is charged with the responsibilities of acquisition, development and maintenance of large park reserves, regional parks and regional trails for the benefit and use of the citizens of suburban Hennepin County, Scott County, the metropolitan areas, and the State of Minnesota. The Three Rivers Park District is also responsible for managing the Park District's water resources in cooperation with the surrounding communities and watershed management organizations in a way that is environmentally responsible and that will maintain lake water quality at or above the levels experienced in 1989. Within the City of Medina, the Park District manages the Baker Park Reserve. 3.4. Watershed Management Organizations (WMO) The City of Medina is divided into multiple drainage basins that flow to three separately managed watersheds. Figure 2 shows the three watershed management organizations with jurisdiction in the City. These agencies each have authority for review and approval of this local surface water management plan. 3.4. 1. Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission (PSCffVQ PSCWMC was formed in 1978 and covers portions of Greenfield, Independence, Loretto, Maple Plain, Medina and Minnetrista. PSCWMC administration is provided by the Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. PSCWMC covers approximately 7.5 square miles in Medina. PSCWMC adopted their Third Generation Watershed Management Plan on May 21, 2015. The plan update included revisions to their Rules and Standards. Refer to the PSCWMC for specific requirements. http://www.pioneersarahcreek.org/ The Commission requires a plan review to be completed by the local permitting authority for development or redevelopment if any part of the development is within a 100-year floodplain or upland flood storage area and/or the project changes the timing, storage, or carrying capacity of any tributaries of the 100-year floodplain. PSCWMC thresholds require local permitting through Medina for the following project descriptions: • Any land development or site development that disturbs more than 1 acre • Linear projects that result in a net increase in impervious surfaces of one acre or more. When a project plan transcends municipal boundaries, a Commission review is required. Additionally, PSCWMC requires Medina to review permit plans involving the alteration of waterways, culvert or bridge installations or replacements in waterways. This would be in addition to any state or federal permits that might pertain to these activities. 3.4.2. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMQ ECWMC was formed in 1973 and covers portions of Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medina and Plymouth. ECWMC administration is provided by Hennepin County. ECWMC covers approximately 26.3 square miles in Medina. ECWMC adopted their Third Generation Watershed Management Plan on October 14, 2015. Medina has two years from that date to update their SWMP. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-3 SECTION 3 The Third Generation Plan can be accessed from their website. http://www.elmcreekwatershed.org ECWMC did not update their rules and standards with the Third Generation Plan. The Commission requires a plan review to be completed by the local permitting authority for development or redevelopment if any part of the development is within a 100-year floodplain or upland flood storage area and/or the project changes the timing, storage, or carrying capacity of any tributaries of the 100-year floodplain. ECWMC thresholds require local permitting through Medina for the following project descriptions: • Any land development or site development that disturbs more than 1 acre • Linear projects that result in a net increase in impervious surfaces of one acre or more. When a project plan transcends municipal boundaries a Commission review is required. Additionally, ECWMC requires Medina to review permit plans involving the alteration of waterways, culvert or bridge installations or replacements in waterways. This would be in addition to any state or federal permits that might pertain to these activities. 3.4.3.Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) MCWD was formed in 1967 and covers portions of numerous cities and townships in Hennepin and Carver counties. These cities and townships include: Chanhassen, Deephaven, Excelsior, Golden Valley, Greenwood, Hopkins, Independence, Laketown Township, Long Lake, Maple Plain, Medina, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Plymouth, Richfield, St. Bonifacius, St. Louis Park, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Watertown Township, Wayzata, and Victoria. MCWD covers approximately 10.1 square miles in Medina. MCWD is currently in the process of updating its Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan that was completed in 2007. The goals of the MCWD updates are to encourage collaboration among municipalities and the District in how they approach stormwater management. Medina expects that MCWD will continue to implement its rules within Medina's jurisdiction according to the thresholds identified within the rules. The following tables provide a summary of their current stormwater management practices that are required based on the type of development that is occurring. Their website should be referenced for specific requirements. http://www.minnehahacreek.org/ Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-4 SECTION 3 Table 2- 5tormwater management requirements for new development Site Size Impervious Surface Rcquirementy ¢ 1 acre NIA Noise < 20% of site None > 1 acre — 20%fl of site Phosphorus Control, Rate Control, and Volume Control Table 3- Stormwater management requirements for redevelopment resulting in a decrease or no change in impervious surface Site Size I Site Disturbance I Impervious Surface Reduction Requirements 10%ti reduction in impervious surface None _ 1 acre NIA 0 - 9% reduction in impervious Incorporate BMPssurface 101% reduction in impervious 40% site surface p - 9% reduction in impervious disturbance > I acre surface - < 3 10% reduction in impervious acres > 40% site surface p _ 9% reduction in impervious disturbance surface 10%fl reduction in impervious r 40% site surface disturbance © - 9% reduction in impervious acres surface 40% site disturbance N/A None Incorporate BMPs None Volume control required for site's impervious surface None Incorporate BMPs Volume control required for site's impervious surface Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-5 SECTION 3 Table 4- 5tormwrater management requirements for redevelopment resulting in an increase in impervious surface Site Size 'Site Impervious Surface Requirements Treatment Scope Dtsturbanee Increase acre NIA NIA Incorporate BMPs, NIA < 50% increase in Additional impervious < 40% site impervious surface Phosphorus Control, surface disturbance Rate Control, and > 50% increase in Volume Control Entire site's impervious impervious surface surface 1 acre >_ 40% site Phosphorus Control, Entire site's impervious disturbance NIA Rate Control, and surface Volume Control Table 5: 5tormwrater management requirements for linear transportation projects Project Type Impervious Requirements Treatment ~cope Surface Increase < 10,000 square None NIA New Linear feet Transportation Project > 10,000 square Phosphorus Control, Rate Control, New impervious surface feet and Volume Control < 10,000 square fleet Linear > 10,000 square Reconstruction feet and < I acre Project > 1 acre 3.5.

The Council manages public transit, housing programs, wastewater collection and treatment, regional parks and regional water resources. Council members are appointed by the Minnesota Governor. The Metropolitan Council reviews municipal comprehensive plans, including this local surface water management plan. The Council updated the Water Resources Management Policy Plan in 2015, establishing the expectations to be met in local plans. As part of the updated Minnesota Rules Chapter Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-6 SECTION 3 8410 adopted July of 2015, all local water management plans must be updated prior to December 31, 2018. The Council's goals focus on water quality standards and pollution control, "to reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution on the region's wetlands, lakes, streams and rivers." 3.6. State Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) BWSR works through local government agencies to implement Minnesota's water and soil conservation policies. The BWSR is the administrative agency for soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, watershed management organizations and county water managers. BWSR is responsible for implementation of the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act and the Wetland Conservation Act. Staff members are located in eight field offices throughout the state. First established in 1937 as the State Soil Conservation Committee, the agency became part of the University of Minnesota in the 1950's, transferred to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in 1971, then transferred to the Department of Agriculture in 1982. In 1987 the State Legislature established the current Board of Water and Soil Resources. The Board consists of 17 members, appointed by the governor to four-year terms. Multiple state and local agencies are represented on the Board. In 1992, BWSR adopted rules (8410), establishing the required content for local surface water management plans. These rules were updated July 2015. 3.7. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) The MPCA is the state's lead environmental protection agency. Created by the State Legislature in 1967, the MPCA is responsible for monitoring environmental quality and enforcing environmental regulations to protect the land, air and water. The MPCA regulates Medina's management of wastewater, stormwater and solid waste. The MPCA is the permitting authority in Minnesota for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the federal program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency to address polluted stormwater runoff. Medina's most recent application for NPDES coverage was submitted in June 2006. To obtain coverage, the City was required to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) to address the following six minimum control measures: Public Education 2. Public Involvement 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post -construction Runoff Control 6. Pollution Prevention in Municipal Operations A copy of Medina's SWPPP is included in Appendix B. Medina currently has eleven impaired water bodies within its jurisdiction as well as five outside of municipal boundaries. A full list of the impaired waters and their TMDL status can be found in Section 2 Table 2.4. The City will be evaluating the TMDL requirements and updating their NPDES SWPPP to include the applicable implementation activities. Additionally, as part of its permit application, Medina must conduct an impaired waters review. This review considers whether modifications to Medina's SWPPP are warranted to begin working toward waste load reductions for these waters. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-7 SECTION 3 In response to these multiple regulatory activities, the MPCA developed the Minnesota Stormwater Manual, providing stormwater management tools and guidance. The Manual presents a unified statewide approach to stormwater practices. In order to address the constant influx of information pertaining to stormwater management, the Minnesota Stormwater Manual was updated to an electronic wiki page in 2013. This format allows the content to be updated continually and easily maintained. The link to the Minnesota Stormwater Manual can be found here: https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.php?title=Main—Page 3.8. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) Originally created in 1931 as the Department of Conservation, the MnDNR has regulatory authority over the natural resources of the state. MnDNR divisions specialize in waters, forestry, fish and wildlife, parks and recreation, land and minerals, and related services. The Division of Waters administers programs in lake management, shoreland management, dam safety, floodplain management, wild and scenic rivers, the Public Waters Inventory (PWI), and permitting of development activity within public waters. 3.9. Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) The MDH manages programs to protect the public health, including implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The MDH has regulatory authority for monitoring water supply facilities such as water wells, surface water intakes, water treatment, and water distribution systems. The MDH also is responsible for the development and implementation of the wellhead protection program. 3.10. Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) The EQB is comprised of five citizen members and the heads of ten state agencies that play an important role in Minnesota's environment and development. The EQB develops policy, creates long-range plans and reviews proposed projects that may significantly influence Minnesota's environment. 3.11. Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Within the City, Mn/DOT administers state highway systems. Mn/DOT approval is required for any construction activity within state right-of-ways. Mn/DOT also administers a substantial amount of funding for transportation projects completed in the City. Anticipated activities of Mn/DOT are periodically published in their State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). 3.12. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The EPA develops and enforces the regulations that implement environmental laws enacted by Congress; however the MPCA bears responsibility for implementing many of the resulting programs within Minnesota. The NPDES program and the Impaired Waters List are both the result of the Clean Water Act, administered by the EPA. 3.13. U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, including subsequent modifications, the EPA and the USACE regulate the placement of fill into all wetlands of the U.S. In 1993, there was a modification of the Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-8 SECTION 3 definition of "discharge of dredged material" to include incidental discharges associated with excavation. This modification meant that any excavation done within a wetland required the applicant to go through Section 404 permitting procedures. In 1998, however, this decision was modified so that excavation in wetlands is now regulated by the USACE only when it is associated with a fill action. 3.14. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA manages federal disaster mitigation and relief programs, including the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This program includes floodplain management and flood hazard mapping. FEMA published the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Medina in 1980. The effective FIRM was updated for Hennepin County, including Medina, in 2016. 3.15. Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) The Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Formerly named the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the NRCS provides technical advice and engineering design services to local conservation districts across the nation. The Soil Survey of Hennepin County, Minnesota was published by the Soil Conservation Service in 1974. The SCS also developed hydrologic calculation methods that are widely used in water resources design. 3.16. U.S. Geological Survey The USGS provides mapping and scientific study of the nation's landscape and natural resources. USGS maps provide the basis for many local resource management efforts. 3.17. Minnesota Geological Survey (MNGS) MNGS maps the geologic resources of the state of Minnesota as well as maintains the database of all wells drilled in Minnesota 3.18. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The USFWS works to conserve and protect the nation's fish, wildlife, plants and habitat. The USFWS developed the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) beginning in 1974, to support federal, state and local wetland management work. 3.19. NPDES Permitting Process The MPCA has designated the City of Medina as an NPDES Phase II MS4 community (MN Rules 7090). The permit application outlined Medina's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to address six minimum control measures: • Public education • Public involvement • Illicit discharge detection and elimination • Construction site runoff control • Post -construction runoff control • Pollution prevention in municipal operations Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-9 SECTION 3 The City's SWPPP contains several Best Management Practices within each of the listed control measures. These were identified using a self -evaluation and input process with City staff. Many of the goals and policies discussed in this local surface water management plan are directly related to requirements listed in the NPDES program. As a result, the implementation section of this plan references items listed in the City's SWPPP. Along with the SWPPP, Medina is subjected to the NPDES permit requirement on prohibited discharges due to Wolsfeld Woods being designated as a MnDNR scientific and natural area. Under the NPDES permit requirements, the City of Medina is required to submit with permit application a list of ORVWs with prohibited discharge, map the drainage areas, estimate the existing impervious coverage and proposed impervious coverage based on zoning and comprehensive plans, assess how the SWPPP will adequately eliminate new and expanded discharges, and suggest modifications to SWPPP that will adequately eliminate new and expanded discharges. As a requirement of the TMDL the City will be evaluating all TMDL requirements and updating their NPDES SWPPP to include the applicable implementation activities. 3.20. Comparison of Regulatory Standards Developing property within Medina is subject to review and approval from three watershed management organizations covering the City (Figure 2). Each watershed organization has established rules or standards governing stormwater management and protection of natural resources. Currently these rules vary in content between agencies, and may be more or less restrictive than City standards. When standards diverge, Medina emphasizes that the stricter standards apply. The City of Medina's Stormwater Design Manual and Engineering Guidelines can be found in Appendix F. The Pioneer -Sarah and Elm Creek Watershed Management Commissions have developed standards based on the goals and policies in their watershed management plan. These standards overlap Medina's in some respect and cover ground not covered by Medina in other respects. Ultimately, it is not the goal of Medina's Local Surface Water Management Plan that watershed and Medina regulatory programs be identical. Rather it is the goal of this plan that the regulatory programs be compatible and that it be understood that if one entity's regulations are silent on a subject the others may not be and that project proposers should take care to ensure that all overlying standards are considered. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 3 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-10 SECTION 4 4. ASSESSMENT OF ISSUES 4.1. Stormwater Management System Assessment Previous sections of this Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) provide background on the physical and regulatory forces shaping surface water management in Medina. This section describes problems and challenges of specific waters, neighborhoods or programs identified by the City, watershed districts and others. Minnesota Statutes and Rules and Metropolitan Council guidance documents require "issues and corrective actions" or "problems and corrective actions" as elements of Local Surface Water Management Plans. The intent of this section is to serve the same purpose as this issue and identification requirement, but to also provide a broader assessment of the challenges facing Medina. The assessment includes stormwater management issues, current and future, identified by the City, the three watersheds with jurisdiction within the City, and other state and federal agencies. 4.2. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is the maximum amount of a pollutant that is allowed to discharge to an impaired water body. The process of developing this standard is commonly known as the TMDL process and involves the following phases: • Assessment and listing as an impaired water (MPCA 303(d) list) • TMDL study • Implementation plan development and implementation • Monitoring of the effectiveness of implementation efforts Table 2.4 in Section 2 identifies seventeen impaired waterbodies either within the City of Medina or in adjacent communities receiving discharge from Medina. Currently, four TMDL studies have been approved that designates wasteload allocations to the City. Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed is currently in the process of approving a TMDL study that lists TMDLs for Ardmore Lake, Peter Lake, Half Moon Lake, and Spurzem Lake. A link to each TMDL study is listed below. Table 4.1 lists Medina's allowed wasteload allocations and required yearly load reductions. A detailed description of the relevant corrective actions for the TMDL requirements is found in Section 4.3. • Lake Independence TMDL Study • Lake Sarah TMDL Study • Unner Minnehaha Creek Watershed Nutrient and Bacteria TMDL • Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission TMDL • Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed TMDL Study(DRAFT) Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-1 SECTION 4 Table 4.1 Wasteload Allocations for Medina Wasteload Required Load Related Impaired Relevant TMDL Report Phosphorus Reduction Corrective Waterbody Allocation (lbs/year) Action in (lbs/year) Section 4.3 Lake Independence Lake Independence TMDL 231.0 284.0 1,2,3,6 Lake Sarah Lake Sarah TMDL 92.9 249.0 6,16 Holy Name Lake Upper Minnehaha Creek 1.0 26.0 6,9 Watershed TMDL Long Lake Upper Minnehaha Creek 113.0 103.0 6,7,9,10,1 1 Watershed TMDL Jennings Bay Upper Minnehaha Creek 140.0 398.0 6,9 Watershed TMDL Mooney Lake Upper Minnehaha Creek 1.0 7.0 6,9 Watershed TMDL Wolsfeld Lake Upper Minnehaha Creek 16.0 76.0 6,9,10,11,13,14 Watershed TMDL School Lake Upper Minnehaha Creek 7.0 32.0 6,12,9 Watershed TMDL Rice Lake -Main Elm Creek Watershed 202.7 1068.3 6 Basin TMDL Pioneer -Sarah Creek Peter Lake Watershed TMDL (draft) 9.6 0.0 -ad= Spurzem Lake Pioneer -Sarah Creek 12.2 92.5 6,8 Watershed TMDL (draft) Lake Ardmore Pioneer -Sarah Creek 1.3 15.2 1,2,3,E Watershed TMDL (draft) The TMDL study for lakes with mercury impairments was part of a larger, statewide study and aims at reducing the mercury level produced from human induced input by 14% in the state and by 86% at the federal level. The Upper Minnehaha Creek TMDL study also requires the City of Medina to address the E.coli impairment for Painter Creek. ECWMC is in the process of developing a manure management ordinance, which the City will adopt to aid in limiting runoff from animal farms. The City will continually educate residents on manure management as well as general pet waste. As the City develops and new BMPs are constructed, bacteria from stormwater runoff will also be removed. Regarding the City's role in future TMDLs and TMDL Implementation Plans, the City recognizes that the responsibility for completion and implementation of the TMDL studies lies with the primary stakeholders contributing to the impairment. The City intends to cooperate with the watersheds in the development of the TMDL studies, acknowledging that the watersheds will take the lead on these studies. It is the intention of the City to fully implement the items and actions identified in existing and future TMDL Implementation Plans and designate adequate funding for those efforts. Section 4.3 Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-2 SECTION 4 addresses these TMDL issues by providing corrective actions for the City. 4.3. Summary of Issues and Corrective Actions An assessment of existing and potential water resource issues have been identified based on current information available to the City and include those listed in the Watershed Management Plans of the three WMOs with jurisdiction in the City. Possible corrective actions have been identified and are listed in the Implementation Plan (Section 7). Locations for each corrective action are labeled and prioritized in Figure 16. The City of Medina considers Low Impact Development (LID) techniques an integral component to addressing current and preventing future water resource issues within the City. The City promotes the use of LID to obtain pollutant and volume reductions of stormwater. This technology strategically places BMPs nearer the point where runoff is generated and utilizes vegetation, soils, and biologic treatment in an effort to replicate natural hydrologic process on an urban landscape. The numbering of the corrective actions for each issue are labeled to correspond with the numbering in Figure 16. The City has identified 11 high priority projects and eight additional potential improvements. Higher priority ranking was given to projects that have a low cost to water quality benefit ratio, are on publicly owned property, or are adjacent to upcoming street reconstruction projects. A. Issue: Poor water quality in Lake Ardmore and Lake Independence. 1) Corrective Action: Hennepin County completed the Ardmore Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis in March 2016. The study identifies three potential wetland restoration projects within the Ardmore subwatershed. The highest scoring wetland restoration water quality project is the Lake Ardmore wetland restoration west of County Road 19 and north of Maple Street as shown on Figure 16. The goal of these projects is to closely approximate the original wetland's natural condition, resulting in multiple environmental benefits, but primarily to store additional water and assimilate nutrients. This wetland receives runoff from 472 acres and the proposed improvements would result in approximately 48 pounds of total phosphorus (TP) reduction per year. The existing wetland is ditched and the elevation is controlled by an existing culvert under Maple Street. The proposed improvement would consistent of modifying the outlet to provide extended detention and restore the ditched wetland. The estimated cost for the project is $386,000 including maintenance costs for a 20-year period. This equates to a cost per pound of TP removed of $402. The primary cost is the easement acquisition, estimated at $2,500 per acre for wetland and $30,000 per acre for cropland. The project would also require reconstruction of a portion of Maple Street (included in the cost estimate). A potential option to reduce the cost of this stormwater retrofit would be to time it with a future street reconstruction project. The two primary benefits of this project are the low cost per pound of TP removal and the opportunity to restore the function and value of the existing wetland complex. 2) Corrective Action: The Ardmore Area Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis also identified Lake Independence shoreline restoration. The project is located on several Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-3 SECTION 4 parcels owned by the City of Medina (therefore no easement acquisition is required which streamlines the process). Under existing conditions, visual observations indicate that shoreline erosion is occurring near Lakeshore Park on either side of the boat ramp. The erosion is approximately 160 feet long and is estimated to contribute 2 lbs/yr of phosphorus to Lake Independence. This phosphorus load could be eliminated by stopping the erosion by restoring the shoreline. Additionally, this project would provide an opportunity for stormwater education in a high visibility location adjacent to Lake Independence. The restoration includes armoring (typically riprap) along the shoreline to protect against wave action. Native vegetation (pollinator friendly species) can be established above the shoreline armoring. The estimated cost per pound of TP removed is $1,100. The primary benefits of this project are its location on existing City owned property and visibility as a stormwater education measure. 3) Corrective Action: Fern Street gully restoration identified in the Ardmore Area Subwatershed Stormwater Retrofit Analysis. The gully north of Fern Street receives concentrated flow via a storm sewer pipe. This project includes restoration to stabilize the side slopes and bottom to reduce the erosion that is occurring. A significant sediment load is contributed to gullies as the erosion sluffs the side slopes and stormwater runoff transports the sediment load downstream to Lake Independence. Field measurements showed that the gully is approximately 120 feet long, five feet wide and four feet deep. The approximate footprint that the erosion occurs in is 600 square feet. The BWSR Pollution Reduction Estimator worksheet was used to determine the benefit in phosphorus load reduction from stabilization of the Fern Street gully. In total, it is estimated that 1,390 cubic feet or 50 tons of sediment has been eroded to date. Gully stabilization would significantly reduce the TSS load and could reduce the TP load by 100%. The estimated cost per pound of TP removed is $277 for this project. An additional benefit of this project is it is upstream of an existing wetland and would remove sediment load that is discharged into this wetland prior to Lake Independence. It should be clearly noted that the costs for each of these projects are based on 2017 dollars, include 20-year maintenance periods and do include easement acquisition costs. B. Issue: Minimize flooding throughout the City. FEMA recently updated the Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Medina. However, the majority of the mapped waterbodies are Zone A, which indicates that a Base Flood Elevation is not established. This poses a challenge for determining property and building elevations for development adjacent to the Zone A waterbodies. In response to this, the City has identified the following corrective actions. 4) Corrective Action: Hydrologic/hydraulic studies to establish Base Flood Elevations (BFE) for FEMA mapped waterbodies in PSWMC and ECWMC. (MCWD has BFEs established) Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-4 SECTION 4 5) Corrective Action: The following locations were identified in the previous SWMP and by City Staff as concerns for roadway flooding. a. Evaluate options to address flooding on the NE quadrant of Medina Road and Tamarack Drive. b. Corrective Action: Evaluate options to address flooding on Tamarack Road south of CSAH 24. c. Corrective Action: Evaluate options to address flooding on Willow Drive south of CSAH 24. C. Issue: Reduce reliance on potable water for irrigation 6) Corrective Action: Expand education program for benefits of water reuse for irrigation throughout the City. The City currently has information available on its website regarding the Stormwater Irrigation Ordinance. Additional information on the value of utilizing stormwater runoff for irrigation and the permitting and other associated requirements could be included to augment what is already provided. 7) Corrective Action: Education and cooperation with Spring Hill Golf Course. 8) Corrective Action: Education and cooperation with Baker Golf Course. D. Issue: Elevated external and internal phosphorus loads throughout the Long Lake Creek Subwatershed waterbodies. 9) Corrective Action: City-wide education program to address manure management. 10) Corrective Action: Implement projects and studies to address both load sources identified in the Long Lake Creek Subwatershed Plan, Upper Minnehaha Creek Watershed Nutrient and Bacteria TMDL Restoration Strategy Report, and the Upper Minnehaha Lakes Final TMDL. This includes partnering with Long Lake for internal load management through carp removal. Additional discussion on carp removal is included in Section 7. The Upper Minnehaha Lakes Final TMDL Report identifies internal loading from rough fish as a potential source of phosphorus with unknown impact on 3 of the 5 lakes in the Long Lake Creek Subwatershed. Recent studies completed by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center show that it is possible to quantify the carp population and develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to sustainably manage those populations and mitigate their effects. 11) Corrective Action: Partner with MCWD to inspect and restore areas of erosion in Long Lake Creek. MCWD identified this project in their 2007 Long Lake Creek Subwatershed Plan. The project entails restoration of approximately 1,000 lineal feet of the creek to restore riparian vegetation, stabilize the streambanks and improve the in -stream habitat. MCWD identified several erosion issues along segments of the creek within the City of Medina. Specific project restoration measures include bioengineering and armoring as needed to reduce erosion in areas with high velocities and install native vegetation in the riparian zone for habitat and water quality benefits. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-5 SECTION 4 The estimated cost for this project is $802,000 (based on 2007 dollars). MCWD proposed a capital levy to provide the necessary funds. The City of Medina will continue to coordinate with MCWD to implement this project. The estimated TP reduction for this project is 10-35 pounds per year. 12) Corrective Action: Evaluate wetland restoration along Long Lake Creek. MCWD identified several wetland restoration projects in the Long Lake Creek subwatershed as a part of their 2007 study described in bullet number 9 above. Similar to the wetland restoration project upstream of Lake Ardmore, the intent of these projects is to restore existing degraded wetlands in order to provide habitat, nutrient removal, increase wetland footprint, wildlife corridor and stormwater recharge. The costs for the wetland restoration projects range between $350,000 and $450,000 (in 2007 dollars). Easement acquisition will be necessary for each of the wetland restoration project identified. MCWD proposed a capital levy to provide the necessary funds. The City of Medina will continue to coordinate with MCWD to implement this project. The estimated TP removal from this wetland restoration project is 27 pounds per year (using MSM estimates based on drainage area). 13) Corrective Action: Partner with MCWD on School Lake internal load management. Additional discussion on carp removal is included in Section 7. The Upper Minnehaha Lakes Final TMDL Report identifies internal loading from rough fish as a potential source of phosphorus with unknown impact on 3 of the 5 lakes in the Long Lake Creek Subwatershed. Recent studies completed by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center show that it is possible to quantify the carp population and develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to sustainably manage those populations and mitigate their effects. E. Issue: Local erosion that contributes excess sediment to degraded waterbodies. 14) Corrective Action: Cooperate with DNR, MCWD to assess local erosion in Wolsfeld Woods that may contribute to lake sediment loads. The Long Lake Creek subwatershed Plan indicated concerns with gullies and channel erosion upstream of Wolsfeld Woods. The City of Medina will work with the DNR and MCWD to specifically identify these locations and work to restore the potential sources of erosion. Additional field inspection is required prior to determining a cost and water quality benefit associated with this action. 15) Corrective Action: Partner with MCWD to inspect and restore open channel to Wolsfeld Lake. MCWD identified wetland and channel restoration upstream of Wolsfeld Woods in their 2007 Long Lake Creek Subwatershed Plan. Wetland and creek restoration projects restore existing degraded wetlands in order to provide habitat, nutrient removal, increase wetland footprint, wildlife corridor and stormwater recharge. Easement acquisition will be necessary for the wetland restoration project identified. MCWD proposed a capital levy to provide the necessary funds. The City of Medina will continue to coordinate with MCWD to implement this project. Additional field observation is needed to determine the length of the channel that needs to be restored prior to determining a cost and water quality benefit. 16) Corrective Action: Existing developable land use within Elm Creek Watershed is Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-6 SECTION 4 primarily used for agriculture. As development occurs, TSS and TP loads will be reduced through the construction of BMPs. Table 4.2 demonstrates the existing untreated TSS and TP load of agricultural land versus future developed commercial and single family residential land use. BMPs will be constructed as development occurs, which will reduce the overall offsite loading and help Medina reduce local erosion and help in meeting phosphorus reduction requirements for Elm Creek. A standard wet basin was used to estimate sediment removals per acre of developed land.

The City of Medina has a proposed trail project within Rainwater Park. Creek restoration for a project of Elm Creek within the Rainwater Park limits could be eliminated in conjunction with the trail project. The City of Medina will coordinate with ECWMC to evaluate potential erosion issues in Elm Creek in this reach and projects to reduce erosion and to provide a stabilized riparian habitat. The estimated cost for this project is $530,000, assuming stabilization of approximately 1,000 lineal feet of channel. The estimated load reduction is 50 tons of TSS/year. Additional field verification will be needed to verify the extent of streambank restoration needed and resultant water quality benefit. F. Issue: Conservation of wetlands and uplands throughout the City. 18) Corrective Action: Gully restoration in partnership with Three Rivers Park District. 19) Corrective Action: Take the Loretto sewer ponds offline and connect to the MCES system. This project was identified in the City of Medina's previous plan and has not been implemented yet. 20) Corrective Action: Tomahawk Trail wetland restoration. G. Issue: Agricultural runoff contribution to lake and stream TMDLs 21) Corrective Action: The City will coordinate will MCWD, PSCWMC and ECWMC to Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-7 SECTION 4 develop a manure management ordinance 22) Corrective Action: As the City develops, agricultural land use will change to rural residential. Table 4.3 shows the removal of sediment based on the land use change and construction of BMPs.

Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) The District is currently in the process of updating its plan in 2017 to address water quality issues throughout the watershed. Issues to be addressed specific to the City of Medina are summarized separately within the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan (CWRMP) with many to be addressed explicitly in this Plan. The focus is the phosphorus load reductions required of the City through various implementation activities. Other areas of concern include local flooding, landlocked basins, flow velocity, erosion, and land conservation. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District divided their watershed plan into several subwatershed plans, two of which pertain to Medina: Painter Creek Subwatershed Plan and Long Lake Subwatershed Plan. The approved CWRMP in 2017 will supersede the 2007 plan. There are several key conservation areas located in Medina, as identified by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. These conservation areas are basically comprised of high quality wetlands. These key areas are located around School Lake and the channel that drains southeast to Wolsfeld Lake. Wolsfeld Lake contains significant high -quality natural wetland and upland areas. The area to the northwest and southwest of Holy Name Lake contains a number of moderate to high -quality wetlands. In general, Medina will consider conservation, preservation, and wetland restoration when development proposals arise within the areas identified by the watershed. More specifically, Medina will implement its buffer requirements and promote low impact development techniques if development occurs in these key conservation areas. Wolsfeld Woods, a Scientific and Natural Area (SNA), is located within Medina's boundaries. As an SNA, Wolsfeld Woods and Wolsfeld Lake are considered an Outstanding Resource Value Water by the State of Minnesota. This means there is a statutory prohibition on new and expanded discharges to the SNA. As stated previously, Medina's proposed management program meets the statutory requirement of no new and expanded discharge to Wolsfeld Woods. 4.4. LPhosphorus Reduction Strategy As required by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Medina is required to reduce Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-8 SECTION 4 phosphorous loads in its discharge to Painters Creek and Long Lake Creek. Medina's phosphorus reduction strategy consists of the following components: • Report on phosphorous reduction achieved on projects • Incorporate stormwater improvements into the CIP • Target suitable wetland restoration sites • Stabilize eroding stream/ditch sections • Street sweeping on City streets • Implement the post -construction stormwater management ordinance Specific phosphorus reduction loads are discussed in Section 4.3. 4.5. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (EMWMC) The 2015 Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) Third Generation Management Plan has identified the following priorities: • Providing cost share to Cities to implement projects to achieve WRAPS goals • Use WRAPS results to establish priority areas and complete subwatershed assessments to determine BMPs Develop a model manure management ordinance Complete a pilot project for targeted fertilizer application Continue to participate in education and outreach activities. Each of these priorities impacts the City of Medina. Specifically, the Third Generation Plan requires developments that meet the thresholds to comply with the ECWMC Rules and Standards regarding water quality, rate control and volume management. The City of Medina has included policies for rate control and volume management within this SWMP that are as stringent or more stringent then ECWMC. The ECWMC requires that Medina be responsible for maintenance of stormwater ponds constructed as a part of new development. Medina already fulfills this obligation by implementing their MS4 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). This is also reflected as a policy in Section 6 of this plan. The Elm Creek Watershed TMDL and WRAPS Reports were prepared as part of a "watershed approach" to address the waterbodies still listed as impaired and their corresponding TMDLs. This report looks to support local working groups and jointly develop protection and restoration strategies to be implemented throughout the watershed. 4.6. Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission (PSCWMC) The Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission Third Generation Plan was approved in 2015 and provides an inventory and assessment of water and natural resources, and identifies several key issues. These include water quality, rate control, flooding, impacts of water quality on fish and wildlife, erosion control, and public education. Many issues identified are specific to the City of Medina. This plan identifies goals and policies targeting these issues and establishes implementation actions that may require revisions to their regulatory program or coordination with the watershed to complete Capital Improvement Projects. Medina has prioritized implementation of corrective action based on financial resources available. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-9 SECTION 4 Overall the main concern in the City of Medina is in regards to water quality due to impairments to Lake Independence, Spurzem Lake, and Lake Katrina, which are all impaired for excess nutrients. Lake Independence is the only lake with an approved TMDL. Spurzem Lake TMDL study is underway as part of the PSCWMC TMDL report. The report is currently in draft form and expected to be approved by mid-2017. There are two waterbodies outside the jurisdiction of the City located within the Pioneer Sarah Creek Watershed Management Commission (PSWMC) boundaries that receive discharge from the City: Lake Sarah and Lake Rebecca. These are also impaired for excess nutrients. The Lake Sarah TMDL has been complete and waste load allocations developed. Medina has worked with Three Rivers Park District Staff (technical lead on the TMDL) and the City of Loretto to identify a water quality improvement in response to the TMDL. Other components of Medina's program to address impairments of Lake Rebecca and Lake Sarah are included in the implementation plan of Section 7. 4.7. Wetland Management Standards In 2008 Medina adopted its own rules for wetland buffers and setbacks, which was based on the FAW. MCWD was selected as a reference for standards, as it has more stringent requirements than the other watershed districts (Elm Creek Watershed District and Pioneer -Sarah Watershed Management Organization). a. Water Quantity/Quality The wetland's sensitivity to stormwater input is dependent on the wetland community type and the quality of its plant community. Some wetlands (e.g., sedge meadows with Carex species) are sensitive to disturbance and will show signs of degradation unless water quality, bounce and duration are maintained at pre-existing conditions post -construction. On the other hand, there are other wetlands (e.g., floodplain forests) which are better adapted to handle the fluctuating water levels and influx of sediment often associated with stormwater. Table 5.1 illustrates the Stormwater Susceptibility ratings for different plant community types based on MnRAM 3.0. Wetland protection requirements have been developed to maintain the character of the wetland, and are listed in Table 5.2. BMPs can be used to accomplish many of these pretreatment requirements.

Shallow marshes dominated by reed canary grass, cattail, giant reed, or purple loosestrife. 4 These wetlands are usually so degraded that input of urban storm water may not have adverse impacts. ` Adapted from: Storm -Water and Wetlands: Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Addressing Potential Impacts of Urban Storm- Water and Snow -Melt Runoff on Wetlands, State of Minnesota Storm- Water Advisory Group, June 1997. Table 5.2 — Wetland Protection Standards Wetland Permitted Bounce Stormwater Up to 100 Year Susceptibilityl Event Highly Existing Susceptible Moderately Existing + .5 feet Susceptible Slightly Existing + 1.0 feet Susceptible Least No Limit Susceptible Inundation Inundation Period Period for 1 for 10 and 100 Year Event Year Event Existing Existing Existing + 1 day Existing + 2 days Existing + 2 days Existing + 14 days Existing + 7 days Existing + 21 days Phosphorus Load Requirements (lbs/yr) No net increase No net increase No net increase No net increase Stormwater susceptibility ratings were determined for each assessed wetland during the FAW. However, the FAW methodology does not accurately account for situations in which a susceptible wetland is dominated by invasive species such as reed canary grass. In these cases, the wetland has already been degraded and a lower protection standard may be appropriate, based on a review of the wetland inventory data for a particular site. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-11 SECTION 4 For reviewing purposes, wetlands which are listed as highly or exceptionally sensitive to stormwater impacts and which are also listed as M3 for management class may indicate a susceptible type. Further review of the wetland data will be necessary in these cases to use appropriate protection standards. The quality of a wetland can also be impacted by the phosphorous load flowing into the wetland. The FAW identifies that no net increase of phosphorus loading is allowed into the wetlands. The City has also adopted a more stringent policy where if the existing land cover is natural it is acceptable to maintain existing loading rates, however where the land cover is altered for redevelopment and/or expansion projects, a 20% reduction of phosphorous loading rate will be required. A more stringent percent phosphorous reduction is being developed for new development. b. Wetland Buffers The City acknowledges that a buffer of undisturbed vegetation around a wetland or stream can provide a variety of benefits. The buffer can consist of trees, shrubs, grasses, wildflowers, or a combination of plant forms. Buffers reduce the impacts of surrounding land uses on wetland functions by stabilizing soil to prevent erosion; filtering solids, nutrients, and other harmful substances; and moderating water level fluctuations during storms. Buffers also provide essential habitat for feeding, roosting, breeding and rearing of young birds and animals; and cover for safety, movement and thermal protection for many species of birds and animals. Buffers can reduce problems related to human activities by blocking noise and glare from lights, and reducing disturbance. Even a 10-20 foot buffer (depending on the slope steepness) of tall vegetation can provide some water filtering benefits, but wider buffers provide additional water quality and habitat benefits. Buffers can be planned to tie important upland habitats to wetlands, or connect wetlands and other waters. Since many animal species require both wetland and upland habitats as part of their life cycles, and also require opportunities to move to escape predators or find food and cover, buffers should be planned to maximize these connections. Buffers will be most effective if the landowners around a wetland make a continuous buffer, and connect desirable wetland and upland habitats. Specific requirements for wetland buffer widths, standards, triggers, and acceptable uses within the buffer area can be found in the City's Wetlands Conservation ordinance, Section 828.43. Wetland buffers are based on the wetland management class as determined by the FAW, and may be subject to city discretion based on a review of the wetland inventory data for a specific wetland and are also summarized in the table below. Table 5.3 — Wetland Buffer Standards Wetland Upland Buffer Minimum Classification Zone Average Upland Buffer Width Zone Width Preserve (at least partly within or adjacent to a 50 feet 30 feet MnDNR mapped area) All Other Preserve 35 feet 25 feet Manage 1 30 feet 20 feet Manage 2 25 feet 20 feet Manage 3 20 feet 15 feet Buffer Setback (Principal Structure) 15 feet 15 feet 15 feet 15 feet 15 feet Buffer Setback (Accessory Structure) 5 feet 5 feet 5 feet 5 feet 5 feet Stream buffers are established at a 20 foot minimum on all streams identified on the MnDNR Protected Waters Map and a 50 foot requirement is set for all land adjacent to Elm Creek as required by the ECWMC. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-12 SECTION 4 c. Wetland Restoration/Enhancement Opportunities Wetland restoration/enhancement sites were identified during the FAW. Wetlands that have hydrologic restoration proposed may qualify as wetland banking sites if restored. Wetland banking is a type of mitigation, or replacement for wetland losses, allowed under State and Federal rules. Wetland banking allows the appropriate amount and type of wetland acreage to be purchased from an account holder who has a "bank" of functioning wetlands. These wetlands may have been restored from previously drained or filled wetlands, or created where wetlands did not previously exist. Wetland banking is contrasted with project -specific replacement where the project sponsor creates or restores a wetland specifically to replace a wetland that is to be drained or filled. Project specific replacement is usually done on -site, while wetland banks are typically located in another place in the community or watershed. Site -specific replacement should be encouraged when a wetland restoration or creation is possible on -site. When site -specific replacements are not ecologically appropriate, then wetland banks located within the City and County should be the next priority. The funding for the wetland restoration sites can come from a variety of sources, which include: • BWSR Banking Money for Road Construction Projects; • Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Conservation Partners and Community Environmental Partnerships grants; • Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Greenway grants; and • Soil and Water Conservation District grants. 4.8. Official Controls The City of Medina has numerous official controls (Table 3.1) used to regulate stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, shoreland, floodplain and wetlands. These ordinances will be reviewed and revised following the approval of this SWMP. Any conflicts that arise will be addressed to meet the City's goals of protecting water quality and reducing an increase in stormwater runoff volume. The Medina Stormwater Design Guide is adopted by reference into the City ordinances under stormwater management and will be updated at that time as well. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-13 SECTION 4 Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 4 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-14 SECTION 5 5. GOALS AND POLICIES 5.1. Summary The primary goal of Medina's SWMP is to provide a framework for effective surface water management and to bring the City into statutory compliance. This includes guiding redevelopment activities and identifying and implementing retrofits to the existing system. These retrofits consist of both projects and programs. Additionally, the plan provides clear guidance on how Medina intends to manage surface water in terms of both quantity and quality. The goals and policies described in this section are intended to incorporate the foundation of several regional, state, and federally mandated programs. They are not meant to replace or alter the regional, state and federally mandated programs, rules and regulations, but to serve as an enhancement and provide some general policy guidelines. The goals address the management strategies of each watershed management commission, Pioneer -Sarah Creek, Minnehaha Creek and Elm Creek, and are consistent with the objectives set forth in the State Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and the Federal Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) Cooperation, collaboration, and partnering results in projects that are less likely to conflict with the goals of the affected entities, are better able to meet long-term goals, and are generally more cost-effective. In addition to the goals and policies contained in this section, the City will annually review and update its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to effectively manage its stormwater system and be in conformance with the NPDES MS4 Program. Refer to Appendix B for the most recent version of the City SWPPP. This section outlines the goals and policies specific to surface water management in Medina. Goals and policies are grouped by their relationship to the key issues listed below: • Section 5.2 - Land Development, Redevelopment, and City Projects • Section 5.3 - Water Resource Management • Section 5.4 - Management of Floodplains, Shorelands, and Natural Areas • Section 5.5 - Citywide Program Elements • Section 5.6 - Support of Other Agencies 5.2. Land Development, Redevelopment, and City Projects Overall Goal Manage land disturbance and increased impervious surfaces to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources. Overall Policies 1. Medina will pursue a non -degradation policy in regard to runoff volume, runoff rate, and nutrient loading from development projects. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are Medina's preferred method of controlling runoff volume and nutrient loading. Medina considers LID techniques as complementary to pipes, ponds, and wetlands for its flood control system. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-1 SECTION 5 2. Medina will consider redevelopment and linear projects as an opportunity to retrofit non -degradation to previously developed areas and infrastructure. 3. Medina will amend or modify its ordinances and/or engineer standards to facilitate stormwater quantity and quality performance measures identified in its Local Surface Water Management Plan. 4. Medina will consider water quality retrofits on existing City properties as a means of providing treatment to currently developed areas without treatment. 5. Medina will reference the following documents as guidance for Best Management Practices in the City: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas and its Minnesota Stormwater Manual, and the Metropolitan Council's Minnesota Urban Small Sites BMP Manual. 5.2.I.Runoff Volume Management Goal: Maintain existing runoff volumes so that runoff from development does not increase volume loading to wetlands, lakes and streams. Policy: Any site that requires an NPDES construction site permit will be required to implement permanent volume management such that existing runoff volumes are maintained. Sites that do not require an NPDES construction site permit shall maintain existing runoff volumes to the extent practical. Policy: Medina's preferred water quality strategy is to reduce the volume of its runoff through infiltration or reuse projects. If volume control is not feasible due to site conditions, the City will establish alternatives to achieve relevant volume control goals. Volume control calculations will be consistent with Medina's Stormwater Design Manual. Policy: Redevelopment and linear projects will implement runoff volume management practices for net new impervious surfaces. Redevelopment and linear projects will consider whether additional runoff volume management practices might feasibly be incorporated for existing impervious surfaces also. 5.2.2.Runoff Rate Goal: Control the rate ofstormwater runofffrom development to reduce downstream flooding and erosion and protect water resources. Policy: Future peak rates of discharge from new development and redevelopment will not exceed existing peak rates of discharge for the 1-yr or 2-yr, 10-yr and 100-yr 24-hour storm events using Atlas 14 rainfall values. MSE-3 distribution shall be used. Policy: New storm sewer systems shall be designed using the following guidelines: Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-2 SECTION 5 New lateral storm sewer systems shall be designed to accommodate discharge rates for the 10-yr critical storm event using Atlas 14 rainfall values. Trunk storm sewer should be designed as a minimum to carry 100-year pond discharge in addition to the 10-year design flow. New storm sewer systems shall be designed to match the inside top elevation of adjacent pipes. The maximum velocity shall not exceed 10 feet per second, except when entering a pond, where the maximum velocity shall be limited to 6 feet per second. Policy: New storm sewers and open channels shall be designed using the Rational Method or other technical method approved by the City. Runoff Coefficient "C" shall be in accordance with the guidelines provided in the Stormwater Design Manual. Policy: The City will base all drainage system analyses and designs on proposed full development land use patterns. Policy: Where development occurs upstream of a known flood -prone area, the City may seek additional rate control as a means to mitigate this flooding. Policy: When off -site regional ponding is available and this off -site ponding accomplishes the rate control requirement, then the rate control requirement can be waived for a particular site. 5.2.3. Flood Prevention Goal: Provide adequate storage and conveyance of runoff to protect the public safety and minimize property damage. Policy: Building low floor elevations within the City of Medina shall be required to be at least 2 feet above the emergency overflow elevation. In areas where this separation is not or cannot be provided, additional analysis is required showing that the 100-year back-to-back storm event does not affect adjacent homes. Policy: Flood storage for those landlocked depressions with no outlet present must accommodate the volume generated by back-to-back 100-yr, 24-hr storm events or the 100-yr, 10-day snowmelt event, whichever generates the higher calculated HWL. Policy: The City will encourage, to the extent practicable, implementation of Low Impact Development techniques and mitigation of stormwater runoff volume within development and redevelopment areas draining to landlocked depressions. Policy: The City shall require that rate control structures and stormwater drainage ways are included in a drainage or utility easement. Policy: The City will require compensatory storage for any filling in the 1 % (100-year) floodplain at a 1:1 ratio. Policy: Medina will amend or modify its Floodplain Management Ordinance to incorporate the policies identified in its Local Surface Water Management Plan.6 Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-3 SECTION 5 5.2.4.Nutrient and Sediment Loading Goal: Reduce the nutrient and sediment loads over current conditions. Policy: Medina's minimum standard is water quality treatment that meets the requirements of the NPDES construction site permit. Under no circumstances shall overall treatment fall below the requirements of this permit. Policy: Any site that requires a NPDES construction site permit will be required to reduce phosphorus loadings over current conditions. The water quality control standard shall be considered satisfied if the volume control standards has been satisfied, as defined in the City's Stormwater Design Manual. If volume control is infeasible due to site constraints, a 20% reduction in phosphorus loading over existing conditions will be required for redevelopment projects. In cases where existing land cover is natural, the maintenance of existing loading rates is acceptable if the minimum requirements identified in the policy above are met. Policy: Medina will institute a standard practice of evaluating all development, redevelopment, and linear projects for opportunities to retrofit water quality treatment to areas without significant existing treatment. Policy: Guidelines for the design of water quality ponds and infiltration/filtration practices will follow the requirements listed in the City's Stormwater Design Manual. Policy: The City will require outlet skimming in all water quality ponds. Skimming shall occur for up to the 10-year, 24-hour event. The City shall not allow the use of submerged pipes to provide skimming. Policy: The City will require the use of its standard outlet structure (Appendix G) for new water quality ponds. 5.2.5.Erosion and Sediment Control Goal: Prevent sediment from construction sites from entering the City's surface water resources. Policy: The City will enforce the Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance as outlined in Chapter 8 of the City Code; Section 828 Performance Standards and Enforcement. Policy: Erosion control must meet the requirements outlined in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's NPDES General Permit to Discharge Stormwater from Construction Sites and the following criteria. A copy of the most recent requirements can be found at www.mpca.mn.us. Policy: The City will periodically review its Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control Ordinance to maintain conformance with the NPDES construction permit, the City's MS4 permit, guidance from Metropolitan Council and the requirements of the watershed management organizations. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-4 SECTION 5 5.3. Water Resource Management Overall Goal Protect the City's wetlands, lakes, streams and groundwater to preserve the functions and values of these resources for future generations. Overall Policies 1. The City will protect water resources through implementation of the Wetland Conservation Act, groundwater protection rules and TMDL studies. 2. The City will look to retrofit rate control, water quality treatment, and runoff volume reduction upstream of existing water bodies, as these opportunities arise. Medina considers Low Impact Development techniques as the preferred means of retrofitting water quality treatment and runoff volume reduction. 5.3.1. Wetland Management Goal: Protect and preserve wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value. Policy: The City will continue to administer WCA responsibilities within the City to ensure no net loss of wetland functions and values.

At a minimum the trained staff will be certified by the Minnesota Wetland Delineator Certification Program and/or a comparable program. Policy: The City will work collaboratively with the relevant WMO in the application of City and WMO policies and performance standards for wetlands. Policy: The City will implement the Wetland Protection Ordinance, City Code 828.43, which incorporates the results of the City's Wetland Inventory and Assessment. Policy: The City will require that, prior to development activities or public projects, a wetland delineation must be completed, including a field delineation and report detailing the findings of the delineation. Policy: The City requires through its wetland ordinance that future development proposals include natural buffer zones around wetlands and streams. Buffer areas should not be mowed or fertilized, except that harvesting of vegetation may be performed to reduce nutrient inputs. Policy: The City requires that runoff be pre-treated prior to discharge to wetlands. Wetlands may not be considered as treatment areas for the purposes of meeting Medina's stormwater management standards. Direct roof runoff that is discharged to a wetland without pretreatment will be reviewed by the City. 5.3.2.Lake Management Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-5 SECTION 5 Goal: Manage lakes to improve water quality and protect resource values. Policy: The City will begin implementing the TMDL Implementation Plans listed in Section 2. Through its annual reporting, the City will report progress toward meeting this phosphorus load reduction. Policy: The City will cooperate with the Three Rivers Park District, Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed, Elm Creek Watershed, and Minnehaha Creek Watershed to identify possible activities to improve water quality in impaired waterbodies. 5.3.3.Stream Management Goal: Improve water quality, provide wildlife habitat and protect the resource value of streams. Policy: The City will work with the ECWMC to facilitate implementation of the outcomes of the Elm Creek Channel Study. Policy: The City will cooperate with the PSCWMC and the ECWMC to remove deadfall from creeks within the City. Policy: The City will require a 50 foot buffer for land disturbance projects along Elm Creek. 5.3.4. TMDL Implementation Goal: Address target pollutants identified in TMDL studies to improve the quality of impaired waters.

Groundwater Recharge and Protection Goal: Protect groundwater resources and groundwater dependent resources. Policy: The City will cooperate with Hennepin County, MDH, and other state and federal agencies to identify areas of groundwater resources critical to protect. Policy: The City will use the guidance developed in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for locating infiltration BMPs in vulnerable Wellhead Protection Areas. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-6 SECTION 5 5.4. Management of Floodplains, Shorelands, and Natural Areas Overall Goal Manage the City's floodplains, shorelands and natural areas to preserve the functions and values of these resources for future generations. Overall Policy The City will manage these areas through implementation of local zoning codes and agency regulations. 5.4.1-Floodplain Management Goal: Control development in flood prone areas to protect the public safety and minimize property damage. Policy: The City will regulate land development within the Floodplain District to ensure that floodplain capacity and flood elevations are not adversely impacted by development, and that new structures are protected from damage. Policy: The City will update the Floodplain Management Ordinance, City Code 826.74 as required by FEMA and the MnDNR, or as needed, to ensure adequate protection for structures and eligibility for flood insurance programs. 5.4.2.Shoreland Management Goal: Conserve and protect the scenic, historical and cultural resources of the waterbodies within the City and maintain a high standard of environmental quality. Policy: The City will regulate land development within the Shoreland Overlay District to minimize impacts as specified in the City Code 827.01. 5.4.3.Natural Area Management Goal: Protect and enhance natural areas within the City to provide wildlife habitat and water resource benefits. Policy: The City will review land use and development decisions with the intent to preserve natural resources, connect environmental corridors and provide buffers for streams, wetlands and lakes. Existing MLCCS coverage and other data sources will guide decisions regarding natural area preservation. Figure 18 shows parcels owned by the City. These parcels will be reviewed to possibly enhance natural areas and provide water resource benefits. Policy: The City will support programs to maintain and restore the resource value of natural areas. Policy: The City will continue to implement its Open Space Plan and will coordinate with the Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 5 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-7 SECTION 5 Parks Department on future development. Policy: The City will cooperate with the MCWD to implement conservation practices for those areas identified in the MCWD CWRMP as Key Conservation Areas. Policy: The City will coordinate conservation efforts with other agencies, such as watersheds, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park and non -governmental bodies, like the Minnesota Land Trust, Embrace Open Space and Pheasants Forever. Policy: The City will require permanently conserved land to be held in an easement by an outside agency, such as the Minnesota Land Trust, a watershed district or similar entities. 5.5. City Wide Program Elements Overall Goal Manage water resources and drainage systems on a citywide scale. Overall Policies 1. The city wide surface water management program will include monitoring and maintenance of drainage systems, targeted pollution prevention, public education, system reconstruction projects and equitable collection of supporting funds. 2. The City will actively implement the NPDES Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as stated in the MS4 permit. 3. The City will work with the Watershed having jurisdiction and applicable LGU to resolve any intercommunity drainage issues that may arise. 5.5. 1.

IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM 6.1. Overview Medina developed its implementation program to address issues identified earlier in this Local Surface Water Management Plan. This program reflects the needs and concerns of many stakeholders including the City Council, City Staff, citizens, and watershed management organizations. The program also considers Medina's ability to fund these items through its general levy, environmental fund, or stormwater utility. The implementation program consists of the following components: • Capital Improvements (CIP) • NPDES MS4 Permit Compliance (MS4) • Operation and Maintenance (OM) • Official Controls (OC) Capital Improvements consist of "on -the -ground" projects intended to remedy issues identified as current problems. The capital projects focus on phosphorus reduction within the following regulated areas: • Lake Independence Subwatershed (approved TMDL) • Lake Sarah Subwatershed (approved TMDL) • Upper Minnehaha Creek Watershed (approved TMDL) • Elm Creek Watershed (approved TMDL and WRAPS) • Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed (draft TMDL) • Painters Creek Subwatershed (MCWD phosphorus reduction strategy) • Long Lake Subwatershed (MCWD phosphorus reduction strategy) NPDES MS4 Permit Compliance refers to activities necessary to meet Medina's obligations under its general permit coverage. These activities primarily include annual meetings, SWPPP updates, and SWPPP implementation. Operation and Maintenance items consist primarily of the general maintenance of Medina's drainage system including ponds, storm sewer, and culverts. Operation and maintenance overlaps somewhat with Medina's MS4 obligations in that certain operation and maintenance activities are specified in the City's SWPPP. Official Controls include ordinance and policy revisions intended to achieve water quality benefits. Each proposed implementation item has a specific driver, which are identified in the tabulated implementation program later in this section. The overarching goal of Medina's implementation program is quite simple: to improve the quality of its surface waters, its surface water discharge, and to achieve sustainable site development practices. However, there are some very specific regulatory drivers that refine this general goal. These are Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 6 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-1 SECTION 6 discussed below. The City Ordinances and Stormwater Design Guide will be assessed and updated as needed following this SWMP approval. 6.2. Current City Practices Current City Practices are best summarized in the Medina Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program or SWPPP attached to this Local Surface Water Management Plan as an Appendix. These current practices provide water quality benefits through the operation of Medina's Public Works Department. Current practices are fully described in the SWPPP of Appendix B and are summarized here: ■ Floor drain containment program ■ Hazardous materials storage program ■ Landscaping and lawn care practices ■ Sanitary sewer maintenance and inspection program ■ Municipal street maintenance program (street sweeping) ■ Structural MS4 pollution control device inspection and maintenance program ■ Street deicing program ■ ESC standards during all municipal land disturbance projects ■ Outfall and pond inspection program for all City owned MS4 systems ■ Storm drain system cleaning ■ Stockpile, storage and material handling program ■ Municipal employee training program As with any proposed changes to City practices, those identified above will be constrained by funding — particularly the funding of the stormwater utility. Medina allocates stormwater utility funds to water quality improvements on capital projects as well, so the challenge for the City is finding the right balance between capital improvements and programmatic/training outlays. Nonetheless, improved housekeeping practices will improve the water quality of the City's surface water discharge in the following ways: ■ Reduced chloride in runoff from spring snowmelt. ■ Less sediment in waterways due to increase street sweeping and incorporation ESC standards into their municipal programs. Street sweeping will remove approximately 2 lbs/year of phosphorus draining to the surface waters. ■ Maintenance of stormwater facilities results in maintaining their designed removal efficiencies. ■ Less trash and debris in ditches reduces bank erosion and sediment discharge. A reduction in bank erosion and sediment discharge will reduce phosphorus anywhere from 18-30 lbs/year. ■ More staff trained in spill response means less likelihood of chemical spills into surface waters. ■ Training in fertilizer and pesticide application means a reduction in phosphorus and other chemicals in Medina's runoff. ■ The Wellhead Protection Plan will inform the City on the proper use and location of infiltration BMPs. Each of these practices will be reviewed regularly to identify necessary improvements and how each are benefiting water resources in the City. Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 6 WSB Project No. 2712-940 Page-2 SECTION 6 6.3. 10-Year Implementation Plan Priorities Table 6.1 presents Medina's Implementation Program. Medina's program from the issues identified within this LSWMP's current assessment section. More importantly, the Implementation Program aligns with Medina's goals and policies as presented in Section 6. Table 6.1 presents implementation items in each of the four functional areas of Capital Improvements (CIP), NPDES MS4 (MS4), Operation and Maintenance (OM), and Official Controls (OC). The implementation program incorporates Medina's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) through direct reference of items that have a financial impact. Medina will update the implementation program in conjunction with its annual NPDES MS4 public meeting. 6.4. Financial Considerations The City will use funds generated from its Stormwater Utility as the primary funding mechanism for its implementation program including; maintenance, repairs, capital projects, studies, etc. Medina's current stormwater utility fee structure provides approximately $206,216 per year. If funds from this utility fee do not cover necessary costs, the City will consider adjusting the Stormwater Utility Fee to cover the costs associated with the implementation program. The City will continue to review the stormwater utility fee annually and adjust based on the stormwater related needs of the City and other available funding mechanisms. The City will also take advantage of grant or loan programs to offset project costs where appropriate and cost-effective. Below is a list of various sources of revenue that the City will attempt to utilize: • Grant monies possibly secured from various agencies.

ADMINISTRATION 7.1. Review and Adoption Process Review and adoption of this Surface Water Management Plan will follow the procedure outlined in Minnesota Statutes 10313.235: `After consideration but before adoption by the governing body, each local government unit shall submit its water management plan to the watershed management organization[s] for review for consistency with the watershed plan adopted pursuant to section 10313.231. The organization[s] shall have 60 days to complete its review.' `Concurrently with its submission of its local water management plan to the watershed management organization, each local government unit shall submit its water management plan to the Metropolitan Council for review and comment. The council shall have 45 days to review and comment upon the local plan. The council's 45-day review period shall run concurrently with the 60-day review period by the watershed management organization. The Metropolitan Council shall submit its comments to the watershed management organization and shall send a copy of its comments to the local government unit.' `After approval of the local plan by the watershed management organization[s], the local government unit shall adopt and implement its plan within 120 days, and shall amend its official controls accordingly within 180 days.' Thereafter, Medina must annually report to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District activities it has undertaken in the previous year in implementing its plan and in progress toward meeting water quantity, water quality, and ecological integrity goals. The watershed will develop guidelines for the content of this annual report. Medina will also submit a similar report to the Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed detailing similar progress in areas covered under the Lake Independence TMDL Implementation Plan and Lake Sarah TMDL Implementation Plan. 7.2. Collaboration with Other Entities Once Minnehaha Creek Watershed, Pioneer -Sarah Creek Watershed, and Elm Creek Watershed have reviewed and approved this Local Surface Water Management Plan, Medina and the watersheds will enter into a memorandum of understanding regarding implementation of the plan. Before and after approval of this plan, Medina will continue close coordination with all three watershed organizations in the review of projects with their respective jurisdictions. 7.3. Plan Amendments and Future Updates The City may need to revise this Plan to keep it current. Any significant amendments that are made to the plan must be submitted to the MCWD, PSCWMC, and ECWMC for review and approval before adoption by the City. The City anticipates updating the Implementation Plan annually. These changes will be submitted to the WDs and WMOs for their record, but not for review and approval. The City may amend this plan at any time in response to a petition by a resident or business. Written petitions for plan amendments must be submitted to the City Administrator. The petition must state the reason for the requested amendment, and provide supporting information for the City to consider the request. The City may reject the petition, delay action on the petition until the next full plan revision, or accept the petition as an urgent issue that requires immediate amendment of the plan. The City of Medina may also revise/amend the plan in response to City -identified needs. This Plan is intended to be in effect for 10 Surface Water Management Plan City of Medina Section 7 WSB Project No. 2714-940 Page-1 SECTION 7 years (implementation program outlines cost/activities for 15 years) per state statute. The Plan will be updated at that time, to the extent necessary. 7.4. Annual Reporting The planned activities within the Minnehaha Creek portion of Medina will be assessed for phosphorus reduction potential in order to determine progress made in reducing phosphorus loads to Painters Creek and Long Lake. Additionally, the City will review past activities — going back to the year 2000 — as to whether any phosphorus reduction occurred there. The MCWD has set a goal of 22 lbs/yr phosphorous reduction in the Painter Creek Subwatershed and 601bs/yr phosphorous reduction in the Long Lake Subwatershed during the comprehensive planning period. Medina's Painter Creek and Long Lake Creek Subwatershed Phosphorous Reduction Plan include a five-year project of reduction for specific projects outlined in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. The annual report will include an assessment of projects for one additional year, as well as potential activities under consideration for implementation in the next five years. The phosphorus reduction strategy will be applied citywide though reporting will focus on the Painters Creek, Long Lake, and Lake Independence portions of the City.
