architecture..." Page 9, line 47, it should state: "conditional use would avoid the
awkward position of having to rezone the property..." Page 14, line 42, should state:
"Administration Intern Kim Ann..." Page 14, line 48 should state: "Ann explained the
group designation..."
Moved by Weir, seconded by Smith, to approve the December 2, 2008 Regular City
Council Meeting Minutes, as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
Crosby stated that he was not at the December 2, 2008 meeting and asked what the
conclusion was regarding the golf course. Weir stated that it was tabled because it was
a divided issue and they couldn't get a quorum.
Crosby stated that in reading the minutes, there was a representative of the owner of
the golf course here, and asked if it appeared that the housing would solve all the
issues. Smith stated that they felt there was no assurance that if they allowed the
houses that the rest would stay open space as staff had presented it.

Cavanaugh stated that one of the biggest questions was whether to require the whole
area as a PUD or if they were more secure going with the rezoning change. Adams
stated that staff is meeting with the golf course and development representatives on
Thursday to work on a creative compromise that they will bring back to the Council.
Weir stated that when they have the meeting, there was a request from citizens that
they would like less dense development on the north end of the golf course and asked

for discussion at the meeting. Crosby stated that it should be a request, not a

L. Approve Kennedy & Graven as Consultant Legal Counsel and Rate
Schedules for 2009
M. Approve Tallen & Baertshi as Prosecuting Attorney and Rate Schedules for
2009
N. Approve Landform as Consultant Planner for 2009
Smith stated that her issue is that we have one consultant asking for 2.5% increase, one
for 3% and another for 4%. She asked at what point the City could say, this is the
percentage increase we accept so there isn't such a wide range. She stated that she
feels it may be better if they were all increased at the same rate. Adams stated that
often times it is increased by $5 or $10 a service, and the rates are not consistent every
year. He stated that Tallen has always come in a little less than the regional CPI.
Crosby stated that in medical terms, a brain surgeon gets paid more than a general
practitioner, and noted that there is similar structure with lawyers. He stated that he
read carefully the Kennedy and Graven schedule and thinks that is a very reasonable
request.
Smith stated that her other question is, even if this is approved, whether it means that
the City will necessarily use these consultants or if we could ask somebody else.
Adams agreed that it is non -inclusive and the City can have others perform the services.
Smith stated that if the rest of the Council is okay with it, she is okay with K, L, M, and N.
S. Approve Purchasing Policy
Crosby stated that he has questions whether $2,000 is the right amount that doesn't
need Council authorization. Finance Director Day stated that this is what was
authorized.
Smith stated that this says with no quotes and noted that she doesn't like not getting
quotes. Day stated that getting quotes it is not mandatory, but the City does generally
get quotes on all purchases.
Crosby stated that he doesn't think it should be mandatory, because he thinks we need
flexibility.
Adams stated that he agreed, especially if there is an emergency repair where you need
to call somebody to get a problem fixed.
Smith stated that her other question is the approved vendors list and where it comes
from. She stated that she thinks that would be okay, but she hasn't seen it. Day stated
that it is a document that would be created as we move forward. She stated that mainly
it would be State listed contract vendors and electricians that we have used and have
had good experiences with that will be compiled and placed in a vendor list.
Smith stated that she thought there was a requirement that cities would have to get a
quote at a certain dollar amount. Day stated that the amount is $10,000. Adams stated
the general policy is that the City gets 2 or more quotes, when possible. Smith stated
that she would not approve spending $10,000 without getting quotes. Public Works
Superintendent Scherer stated that there are situations, such as a water main break in
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008

the middle of winter, where he likes to try to have things set up ahead of time with three
different contractors. He stated that if you lock in on just one contractor, they may not
be able to make it because they are working with someone else, which is why he has
more than one lined up.
City Engineer Kellogg and City Attorney Batty arrived at 7:20 p.m.
Day stated that these are State statute requirements but the City can choose to be more
restrictive if they would like.
Smith stated that she likes that we are looking ahead and developing the official vendor
list. Day stated that it will be compiled officially this coming year.
Day asked if the Council was looking to change the $2,000 purchasing amount. Crosby
stated that the Council is fine with that.
T. Approve Travel Policy
Smith stated that perhaps she was cheap, but she didn't realize that we had gone to
standard meal tips of 20%. Crosby stated that it is authorized up to 20%, not that it had
to be 20%. Day stated that this came from the Internal Revenue Services guidelines.
Cavanaugh stated that he thinks 15% is reasonable when it is the City's money.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Cavanaugh, to change reimbursement to include the
meal and up to a 15% tip. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Weir, seconded by Johnson, to approve items K, L, M, N, S and T of the
Consent Agenda, as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
VI. COMMENTS
A. Comments from Citizens on Items not on the Agenda
Darrell Johnson, read aloud a statement regarding outdoor storage of automobiles that
was discussed at the October 21, 2008 Council meeting. He stated that he feels the
current ordinances are illegal and he cannot find any record of them being discussed at
any meeting.
Crosby stated he drove by and took a look at Mr. Johnson's property and asked how this
was left. Adams stated that he thinks it is more of an enforcement issue. He stated that
this is one of the items that we would look at later on, not one of the items that is top
priority.
Crosby stated that he would like to have Benetti look into it and give a recommendation
to the Council on how he sees it. He stated that he would prefer not to get into the
substance of Mr. Johnson's request tonight but to do it with proper procedure. He
stated that Mr. Johnson's request to review an ordinance is reasonable.
Smith stated that she thinks it is an unreasonable request because there was junk all
over the City. She stated that she is not in favor of making it easier for someone to

have unlicensed vehicles on their property and if they do, they can put it in a garage.
She doesn't mean to be disrespectful, but it seems somewhat unreasonable. She
stated that she feels it would be helpful to •know if there is Council support to change the
ordinance. Crosby stated that at this point, for a request like this that has been properly
brought up, he thinks it is important that we do not discuss the substance of the request
at this meeting. He stated that he feels the Council owes Mr. Johnson a formal answer.
Weir suggested that it be put on an agenda and have a discussion sooner rather than
later.
Crosby stated that he would like to do that.
Adams stated that this will be added to one of the next two meetings and noted that they
will keep Mr. Johnson informed.
B. Park Commission
Park Commissioner Galen Bruer stated that there hasn't been a meeting since the last
Council meeting. He noted that their next meeting is tomorrow night where they will
discuss the final trail study; cleaning up and working on language for the park and
recreational facilities ordinance; and a timeline for the field house.
Crosby asked about the process if we choose to go ahead and do the concession stand,
who would approve the plan. Smith stated that one of the things on the agenda is
setting up a committee or task force to take a look at what is needed and start
developing some plans. She stated that it could actually be built next fall. Adams stated
that by the January 20, 2009 meeting the task force should be appointed. Any
donations should be designated to the City. Smith stated that she will be unable to
attend the meeting tomorrow night.
Bruer stated that tomorrow will be his last meeting and he wanted to thank the Council
for the opportunity to serve and noted that it has been a great 12 years.
Smith stated that she thinks Galen would be a great member for the field house task
force.
C. Planning Commission
Benetti stated that there were two applications scheduled.
Crosby asked if the Council could talk about the Woodridge Church project as a
discussion item. He noted in the report that they have pushed it off to February or
March of 2009. Benetti stated that they have indicated verbally that they would like to
push it to January or February of 2009. He stated that they received a written
extension to May 22, 2009. He stated that the other item will be on the January 6, 2009
Council agenda for approval.
Crosby stated that the Council does not plan to act on the Old Business tonight, so he
would like to discuss that later in the agenda to have the budget discussion while
everyone is fresh.

VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. 2009 Budget
1. Ordinance Amending Fee Schedule — Public Hearing
2. Resolution Authorizing Publication by Title & Summary of Fee
Schedule Ordinance
Adams briefly outlined some changes that were discussed at the earlier Special Council
Meeting: take out building window references, change the wording for septic violation
inspection, change the language to clarify moving a structure through the City, take off
septic repair, change the language for the Upland Buffer Vegetation Review Inspection
and the need to add a landscape plan. He stated that the City could also reference the
corresponding ordinance section for this item.
Smith suggested that language be added "to ensure survival" for the landscaping plan.
Crosby stated that he thinks that language is already included in the ordinance. He
noted that there needs to be a public hearing conducted that is required by the State for
any zoning fee changes.
Crosby opened the public hearing at 7:39 p.m.
There were no comments and the public hearing was closed.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Cavanaugh, to adopt the Ordinance Adopting an
Amended Fee Schedule, AND, Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Publication of the
Ordinance by Title and Summary. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Resolution Approving 2009 Final Tax Lew — Subsequent Hearing
Adams stated that there is a brief slide presentation to review the proposed 2009 Final
Tax Levy. He noted that there are no expected Local Government Aid (LGA) funds for
2009, so there should be minimal effect to the City with the recent announcement by the
State that these and Market Value Homestead Credit will be cut. He reviewed the
budget increases, debt service, fire capital outlays, roads, police fine revenues, revenue
transfers from water, sewer and storm water utilities for administrative processing. He
briefly reviewed the history of the tax rates in the City from 2000 through 2009 and
reviewed the proposed tax rates compared to other Cities. He stated that the proposed
tax rate is 16.63%. He stated that the impact to a $500,000 home is $831.50 a year, but
noted that he is not implying that the average home in the City is priced at $500,000.
He stated that the staff recommendation is to decrease the general fund by $65,000
because of the projected revenue shortfalls in building permits for 2009. He noted that
a public hearing is needed on this item as well.
Crosby opened public hearing at 7:45 p.m.

Crosby noted that the audience at tonight's meeting is sparse, but there were more
people at the Truth in Taxation hearing where much of this was discussed in greater
detail. He stated that there were no major• open items left at the public hearing.
There was no comment and the public hearing was closed at 7:46 p.m.
Crosby stated that Bob Franklin sent an e-mail to the City that went through some
comparative items and noted that he took issue with Mr. Franklin's next to last
paragraph where he talks about City taxes for the average Medina house. He stated that
the reason we are high is because the average house value is $700,000.
Smith stated that it isn't really comparable.
Crosby stated that it is comparing apples to oranges and is misleading. He reminded
residents that the tax levy is different than the budget.
Adams stated that they are different, but are somewhat synonymous because it could
be affected if there are additional budget cuts.
Crosby stated that he feels our tax rate is fair compared to neighboring communities
and if it is not kept near there it will be hard to do the things the City needs do to.
Weir stated that she agreed and thinks next year will be even more difficult and we will
need to look ahead and plan carefully.
Crosby reiterated that Medina is not expecting any LGA funds from the State in 2009.
Smith asked if the City received any of LGA funds in 2008. Day stated that the City
was slated to receive $28,000 in 2008, but some of that will be eliminated as part of the
State's budget cuts.
Crosby stated that this will not have a material effect on the budget. Day agreed and
stated that they are looking for ways to absorb the $21,000 shortfall that they are
expecting.
Smith stated that she understands the point Crosby is making, but she still struggles.
She stated that, philosophically, she is finding it really hard to not support a reduction
even though she is hearing that we, at this point, haven't experienced any financial
losses like other cities are expecting. She stated that the City doesn't expect to see a
revenue loss, except perhaps next year with building permits. She stated that she
really struggles to think that we don't need to do something. It seems to her that maybe
one of her problems is that we have been frugal for so long, and the biggest problem is
that the roads were done about 20 years ago, which hurts us. She doesn't think the
economy is going to get better for a few years. She thinks we need to send a very clear
message to staff that they need to operate very carefully and it may be necessary to do
some reductions. She stated that she doesn't see a contingency plan to bridge the few
years where there are some issues. It appears as though we are acting as if everything
is okay and it really isn't. Adams stated that this is a preliminary budget reduction and
staff knows that if the trends continue, there will have to be additional cuts made. He
stated that staff knows they will have to make cuts someplace, although they don't know
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
536
the exact line items. He stated that the department heads have been on notice since
the summer 2008.
Smith asked how she can explain this to the public that we are expecting it and looking
at it, but they are not seeing a reduction in their taxes. She stated that the City portion
of their tax bill is small, but it is the part that we are responsible for. Adams stated that
our situation doesn't depend on LGA, but on building permits, so if that revenue doesn't
come in the City will need to make additional cuts. in spending and to reduce the tax levy
at this point would provide even more revenue shortfalls to provide the City's services.
Crosby stated that he looks at it differently, just because you have it in the budget,
doesn't mean you have to spend it. However, the money we are raising in the tax levy
will permit us to do some stop gap projects for the roads and avoid bonding. He stated
that by spending some of this money now we are avoiding spending larger amounts in
the future.
Cavanaugh stated that he feels any savings the City sees should be put into reserve
funds to help us in the future.
Johnson stated that he feels there is a "perfect storm" coming in terms of building permit
revenue falling off.
Crosby stated that the costs of oil are down and asked if there can be commitments
from contractors for costs for next summer, to capitalize on these decreased oil costs.
Scherer stated the City puts out road materials bids in January.
Cavanaugh suggested keeping a very close eye on the capital management projections
because he thinks the City is going to be hit harder than it thinks.
Smith stated that she thinks there may be other solutions, such as delaying some
projects or finding some other way to complete them. She stated that there are ways to
redo roads. She read an article in the Sunday paper that referenced the State Auditors
website. She stated that she went to the site and clicked on some items and one of the
things that this information brought to mind is different ways we can work on roads. She
read aloud some information about MSA roads and noted that she thinks this is
something that should be creatively looked at, such as keeping our roads country roads,
and not make them all like County Road 24. She stated that she would like to try to
negotiate a formalized plan where staff goes back and they carefully look at their budget
to see what can be delayed for awhile to help us into 2010, so the City can save money,
if it can, and have a contingency plan in place. She noted that she would like to have a
formalized contingency plan.
Crosby asked if she was okay with the proposed levy increase. Smith stated that she
would prefer not to have it increase, if possible. .
Cavanaugh stated that he would support a budget reduction, not a tax levy reduction.
Smith stated that when times get tough there are just things that need to be taken off
the table.

Crosby stated that Day reports to the Council quarterly on actual versus budget which
would normally come up April of 2009. He asked if there could be a modification to that
procedure to highlight it more and do it more frequently. He stated that he is not in favor
of the huge exercise of making contingency plans, if you don't need them. He stated
that often times it creates insecurity in staff.
Weir stated that she feels this is a responsible levy and budget.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Cavanaugh, to Adopt the Resolutio, approving the 2009
Final Tax Levy. 4 ayes — (Johnson, Weir, Crosby, Cavanaugh), 1-nay (Smith).
Motion passed.
4. Resolution Approving 2009 Budget
Crosby stated that he doesn't think anyone is in favor of spending money where it
doesn't need to be spent, but does think there needs to be a different procedure in
matching actual to budget. He asked when the City will know about the building permit
numbers. Day stated that the trend is usually in April or May at the beginning of the
construction season. Adams stated that staff would like to meet with builders who have
empty lots and see what they are projecting.
Crosby stated that he feels there should be a special meeting in April to deal with actual
versus budget numbers.
Johnson asked what our annual revenue is for building permits. Crosby stated that it is
about $500,000 to $600,000. Day noted that staff is recommending reducing it by about
$100,000 for 2009.
Johnson stated that he feels that it may actually be closer to a reduction of two-thirds up
to three -fourths in actual numbers.
Cavanaugh asked if the expenses will be reduced along with this reduction in revenue.
Day stated that there will be some reductions, in inspections, for example. She stated
that if this trend does continue they will need to make recommendations for further
budget reductions. She stated that page 23 covers the building permit and inspections
which was reduced $166,115, which is 27% for building revenues.
Johnson stated that there are certain, highly probable reductions in revenue and asked
if the City had identified what expenses we have that are tied directly to that, so from a
planning perspective there is a strategy in place if we see these numbers starting to fall
off. He stated that he would rather be in a position to weather the storm instead of
scrambling for cover when we are 2 or 3 months into the storm, for that particular line
item.
Cavanaugh asked how variable the related costs are. Day stated that this is why staff
will have to do overall budget monitoring to keep an eye on the situation. Cavanaugh
stated that it seems as if that the majority then are fixed costs.
Johnson asked what that meant in terms of head count. Day stated that it is head count
and contracted services.

Cavanaugh asked, as of today, how many open building permits there are. Day stated
that she has requested this information from the Planning Department to analyze this,
but she does not have them at this time. She stated that they would like time in 2009 to
work on some of these detailed items, so they can make decisions based on true
information.
Crosby stated that it appears that the directive is for Day and Adams to anticipate more
erosion on the income side.
Johnson stated he would like to anticipate this decrease with reductions in both fixed
and variable expenses.
Smith stated that there has been a discussion about possible reductions in the Planning
and Zoning areas and asked whether these is somewhere else where there could be
reductions or delays, such as Public Works. Weir stated that she thinks we just have to
ask staff to take a look.
Smith stated that a department head can go in and take a look to see what can be held
off on to be more prepared. She stated that she would feel more comfortable if staff
was seriously looking at this and she doesn't think it will take that much time. Day
stated that they have been working with staff to ask them to monitor their budgets, but
until we can know what the dollar amount needed will be, there isn't anything specific
that can be done.
Crosby stated that the problem he has with this discussion is it seems like the question
"When did you stop beating your wife?".
Weir stated that she trusts staff to take a close look.
Johnson stated that the Council is anticipating this and asking for staff to take a closer
look at the budget. He stated that he has a distinct feeling that there will be budget
challenges as it relates to falling revenue.
Cavanaugh stated that he thinks the permit fee will be about 50% less than is projected
and he thinks that we can look at that now and adjust the budget to reflect that
decrease. He stated that he is in favor of reducing that and asking staff to come up
with, perhaps, a 60% reduction in permit fee.
Crosby stated that he wouldn't go that far because we don't know what the actual
number is.
Adams stated that he feels there would be a misperception for the public because there
could be a lot of building projects coming in next fall and people may feel the City is
spending more than is budgeted, if it would spend more money as these permits came
in than was reflected in the budget.
Day stated that to reduce the revenue by another 50%, it would bring it down about
another $150,000.

Crosby asked when the staff analysis will be completed. Day stated that she is hoping it
will be completed by the end of January.
Crosby suggested that this issue be brought back in January when staff has these
figures.
Weir stated that this would be a good point of discussion for the annual workshop.
Smith asked for clarification of the total budget reduction on page 9. Day noted that this
is the reclassification that was not included in 2008 which results in the $111,000.
Smith stated that she is really struggling with this whole issue.
Adams stated that he thinks everyone is on the same page, but the timing of when to
discuss the situation is different.
Johnson stated that when this stuff is happening in the corporate world, clients call and
ask for help decreasing their expenses. He stated that the budget shortfalls will result in
dramatic cuts. He stated that it is fair to ask the people that are working with us, for
example, our vendors, how that can be done. He stated that his sense is that Smith
doesn't think the Council is asking the hard questions of those who work for us.
Smith confirmed that this is kind of what she was thinking.
Crosby stated that he thinks she is saying times are tough, let's take 5% off of
everything.
Smith stated that this was one of the suggestions that she sent to Adams. She stated
that she hates to focus on one area more than the other and felt that would be a more
equitable way to do it.
Crosby stated that he puts this in a larger context and noted that last year at Truth in
Taxation time, they pulled out a lot of things and deferred a lot of stuff which reduced
the proposed levy increased by about 50%. He stated that he doesn't think we can
continue to go through as a low priced spread.
Weir stated that she would prefer to leave it with staff and ask them to come back with a
proposal and discuss it at the end of January, as already proposed.
Cavanaugh stated that he feels we can go ahead and reduce the building permit budget
by 50% right now.
Johnson stated that if the City is saying a $150,000 reduction in building permit revenue
at 40%, staff will need to find about $80,000 or $90,000 to break even. Day noted that
they have budgetary transfers that reduces the general fund budget by $65,000.
Cavanaugh stated that he agreed with Crosby that we have to be careful not to keep
pushing things off.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes

Crosby stated that he would like to see a probable reduction amount in that line item
and have staff come back with a proposal to deal with it.
Smith stated that she would also like to have a discussion about wages. She stated that
she has a problem with 9% wage increases. She stated that she understands there are
issues with the union, which she feels needs further discussion next year.
Adams stated that that if there is a more serious budgetary concern for the City in 2009,
he would like to start having discussions about lower salary increases in 2010 in the
middle of 2009, rather than at the last meeting of the year. He stated that he thinks
2010 will be a more difficult than this year.
Crosby reiterated that he would rather have a special meeting in January to discuss the
possible general fund decrease.
Adams clarified the few changes to the resolution to reflect the $65,000 budget
reduction.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Johnson, to Adopt the Resolution Approving the 2009
Final Budget as amended with the $65, 000 reduction. 4 ayes — (Johnson, Weir,
Crosby, Cavanaugh), 1-nay (Smith). Motion passed.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Ordinance Creating the Commercial -Highway, Commercial -Highway 2,
Commercial -General, and Commercial -Neighborhood Zoning Districts;
Amending Sections 825.07 and Adding New Section 838
Benetti stated that this is an ordinance to create some new commercial land use
controls in our existing commercial and business park areas. He stated an open house
was held and the Planning Commission reviewed this and recommended approval. He
stated that at the open house, some of the feedback was related to hardcover
regulations, allowed uses and tree preservations standards all being too restrictive.
Weir asked if the tree ordinance discussed was the original one or the proposed new
ordinance. Benetti stated that he believes it was the revised ordinance.
Benetti stated that there is a CH and CH2 district and they are asking for zero lot line
setback. He stated that they are also proposing a CN and CG district. He reviewed
the map of the proposed areas for zoning. He reviewed some of the permitted uses and
the conditional uses for the CH2, CG and CN.
Crosby asked about the size recommendation for a conditional use permit (CUP).
Benetti stated that 10,000 sq. ft. seems to be just a little too small. Weir stated that they
heard at the Planning Commission that a typical CVS, for example, has about a 13,000
sq. ft. footprint.
Benetti reviewed the lot standards for the different districts. He noted that the major
change is in impervious surfaces. He showed aerial photo examples of site plans with
different sizes of impervious surfaces.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
541
Smith asked why the City would require 80% impervious surface when it can be done for
as low as 63%.
Benetti reviewed an aerial photo of Wells Fargo and Caribou Coffee.
Weir stated that she feels shared drainage and shared parking needs to be discussed.
Smith stated that she feels it is obvious that 80% impervious surface is not necessary.
Benetti reviewed the aerial photos of Country Cafa and McDonalds, Target, Park
Commons and Holiday Station that have closer to 80% of impervious cover.
Cavanaugh stated that the question would be what kind of development we want to see
in Medina. He stated that he thinks there will be a better commercial areas and a more
vibrant commercial district if you have something that works. However, if you try to
make it so restrictive with huge setbacks and green space he thinks you are going to the
wrong place.
Weir stated that she thinks there should be two different setbacks, one for land with
wetlands and one with land without wetlands. She stated that she would be concerned
about 80% impervious on a site with no wetlands.
Benetti reviewed the last aerial photo for the Valvoline and Holiday Station that has 30%
of impervious surface. Crosby noted that much of that is because of the topography.
Benetti stated that this facility was also built under a planned unit development (PUD).
Crosby stated that the memo from Adams stated that staff is seeking revisions but not
expecting final approval tonight.
Adams stated that if the answers to their questions are substantive enough to allow staff
to make revisions then it could be brought back to the January 6, 2009 meeting for final
approval.
Weir suggested that the ordinance be gone through page by page with the Council
making recommendations.
Crosby recessed the Council meeting at 8:55 p.m. and reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
Crosby stated that regarding the language of square footage on page 1, he wants to
make sure nobody can say it is a square foot parcel and that it refers to buildable area.
He asked about how outdoor dining is affected with square footage, for restaurant
issues or a Walmart type business with a garden area. He asked if this was considered
separate square footage. Benetti stated that he feels it would have to be part of the
footprint. He suggested that there could be a reduction value for outdoor seating
because that is only used 3 or 4 months a year. Batty stated that the intent is building
area, but he doesn't recall staff discussion of the quasi building areas. He stated that
one way of approaching it is unless we can articulate what that means, object to a limit
10,000 sq. ft. or 15,000 sq. ft. He stated that it may help answer the questions as to
how we want to count the space.

Weir asked why we require a CUP for buildings over a certain size. Batty stated that
there could be a maximum size of building, but there should be standards and we
should be able to articulate what they mean.
Weir asked what type of standard he would be looking for. Crosby stated that the issue
is why do you need special treatment for a large building. Batty stated that it may help
answer the question for a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant with a 1,000 sq. ft. patio.
Smith stated that she thinks the hard cover issue is larger, like the more hard cover, the
more control she wants.
Crosby stated that he doesn't think it is germane to this narrow clause and he doesn't
want the figure to be so low that everyone coming into the City needs a CUP. He stated
that he is comfortable with 15,000 sq. ft., however, he doesn't understand what happens
with a combined parcel, such as a CVS and a Jiffy Lube.
Weir stated that she thinks the City may be looking for that type of development.
Smith stated that she agrees that this should be strongly encouraged.
Crosby stated that he kind of feels like we are trying to reinvent the wheel because
someone must have stumbled through this before and had the same concerns.
Weir asked if there are other communities that have done this type of development.
Smith suggested Blaine and Maple Grove would be communities that have done this
kind of thing. Crosby stated that the big developments may have all been PUD.
Batty asked what we are trying to prevent by limiting the building sizes. Weir stated that
we are trying to prevent the little individual buildings surrounded by parking lots.
Cavanaugh stated that he feels that is what we are trying to prevent the most, not the
larger developments. Batty stated that if you are trying to prevent the small uses, then
he doesn't understand why we would limit the square footage. Crosby stated that he
has a hard time with 15,000 sq. ft. and could go much higher. He stated that it is clear
that a 60,000 sq. ft. facility needs to have rules set up, but he doesn't have a feel for
square footage and whether it should be set at a limit of 60,000 sq. ft. or 40,000 sq. ft.
Eric Simmer, United Properties, reviewed what was happening at the new bank site.
Smith asked how we can change the language to state that we are encouraging these
combined developments. She stated that perhaps a good idea would have been to
have a CUP. Simmer stated that is less attractive for the developer and noted that it is
better for them to have tightly written restrictions.
Smith asked if he knew of any cities that had types of things that we are talking about.
Simmer stated that Maple Grove's development was done with a PUD. He stated that
he doesn't have a great retail example. He noted that for the 3 buildings at the new
bank site, they are a total of about 15,000 sq. ft.

Smith stated that she also feels we are trying to recreate the wheel.
Weir stated that there is a proposed ordinance before us and asked if we were saying
we don't have enough expertise with what is before us to give staff comments. Crosby
stated that we are doing something in an extremely sophisticated area and are trying to
craft it on our own.
Benetti stated that they have done comparative analysis with other communities and
gotten feedback at the open house and from that, put together a draft ordinance. He
stated that he knows there are a lot of questions and staff is looking for direction, for
example, the 10,000 sq. ft. and establishing a threshold for the larger 60,000 sq. ft.
buildings.
Johnson suggested that the language be changed to state "that retail uses individually,
not exceeding 15,000 sq. ft.", for example "or not over 40,000 sq. ft. in total". He stated
that this would encourage the combined or coordinated development to better utilize site
resources.
Crosby stated that we still need to establish the square footage.
Smith stated that she thinks it should be the building pad. She stated that she thought
the idea was to deal with the size of the building. She asked if a restaurant is a retail
use. Benetti stated that is a retail service use.
Smith stated that she feels it is more the size of the building itself and wants to
encourage outdoor patios.
Benetti stated that outdoor seating is encouraged under the accessory use portion.
Simmer stated that with a one acre minimum lot size and 10,000 sq. ft. maximum
building size, those things can be in conflict with one another.
Weir asked if the 1 acre minimum is alright.
Crosby stated that he thinks it is too big and should be acre.
Weir reiterated that she would like to encourage combined development and shared
parking and drainage.
There was a consensus to change the minimum lot size for CH in Section 838.1.05 to
acre.
Weir asked if we wanted a lot of parking in front of building. Crosby asked if they can
park in the setback. Smith stated that 50 feet isn't very long and noted that the Council
Chambers is probably about 50 feet long.
Cavanaugh asked about Subd. 9 and asked for an explanation on what we are trying to
accomplish, especially with the second sentence.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
544
Benetti stated that this is a recommendation from the Planning Commission and the
additional setback is to provide additional buffering from adjacent residential and if there
happened to be a roadway separating them, it still had to maintain the setback from the
right of way.
Crosby asked which yard we are talking about, front, side or back. Batty stated that, as
it is written, it would be all of them.
Cavanaugh stated that this is not being put into rural residential areas, but more urban
areas and this setback seems excessive to him.
Crosby stated that maybe it should only be 75 ft. on the side it is facing residential. He
stated that is doesn't state which setback is relevant. Batty stated that this is the intent,
but the language could be cleaned up.
Crosby asked if this would apply to the Uptown Hamel condo project. Weir stated that it
wouldn't because it is in a different zoning district.
Smith stated that this may apply to the Foxberrry area.
Crosby asked what happens if there are natural barriers, such as wetlands. He stated
that this would say that it would still have to be 75 ft. Cavanaugh stated that for
example, Juberts, wants to have higher density urban residential area and asked why
they would need the 75 ft. setback in this situation. Smith stated that it isn't an
additional 75 ft., but a total of 75 ft. Benetti stated that he thinks the Juberts parcel is
mixed use.
Weir stated that we don't want to invite requests for variances.
Crosby stated that Smith is saying that there are a lot of situations where this applies.
Batty stated that the same situation would apply no matter what the setback is. He
stated that the most restrictive is the second sentence in Subd. 9, as Cavanaugh
indicated.
Crosby asked why the second sentence was needed. Benetti stated that the Planning
Commission wanted this as an added protection. Smith stated that perhaps a better
way to solve it is to have language to screen or have architectural detail so it isn't ugly to
look at.
Cavanaugh stated that he agreed with that comment.
Weir suggested that it be reduced to a 50 ft setback, without the second sentence,
because 4-sided architecture and landscaping requirements are included elsewhere.
There was consensus to remove the second sentence of Subd 9.
Weir asked if the Council would support the reduction to a 50 ft. setback.

Crosby stated that he would agree, with the clarification that it is the side that abuts the
residential.
Benetti asked if they would allow parking in the 50 ft. setback area. Smith stated that
she wouldn't like to have parking in that area.
Crosby stated that in Subd. 11, parking is discussed.
Cavanaugh stated that if he had the choice of looking at a 4-sided architectural building
or a parking lot, he would choose the building.
Smith stated that people living next to commercial districts need to understand that there
will be commercial activity there.
Cavanaugh stated that the area this is going into is newer development and more urban,
so he thinks they expect it.
Weir stated that there are two commercial districts and asked if there was a 10 foot
setback needed in Subd. 10 for the railroad. Cavanaugh stated that there are only two
properties that are affected by that.
Weir asked how essential this 10 ft. setback is. Crosby stated that the railroad won't
care how it will looks.
Weir suggested that CH have Subd. 10 removed and eliminate CH2.
The Council discussed removing Subd. 10 and CH2 because there was no difference.
Simmer stated that there was a lot size difference.
Benetti stated that the CH2 was geared by the right of way along the railroad, so it is
smaller lots, zero setback, so, CH2 cannot be removed. He stated that City Engineer
Kellogg mentioned to him that the City may want to have an easement, so the 10 foot
setback should probably be kept in.
Kellogg stated that if you allow a building to be built up to lot line, you cannot get
perimeter drainage and utility easements.
Crosby stated that his only issue is if you require a setback along the railroad tracks, no
one will take care of it and it will be filled with junk.
Smith stated that she thinks we should leave the 10 feet in.
Crosby stated that he feels it should be consistent.
Smith stated that we cannot be consistent because we are planning this specifically for
Simmer. She stated that Hamel Station is why the City now has CH2 designation.
Weir asked if CH2 could be CHR, because it is for railroad. She reiterated that she
would happily give up the 10 ft setback.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008

Crosby reiterated that there was consensus to take out Subd. 10.
Weir asked how the Council felt about impervious surfaces. Smith stated that she
thinks 85% is too much. Cavanaugh stated that it comes back to what we want to
accomplish in this district. He stated that the more it is limited, the less attractive it will
be for developers.
Johnson is concerned that if Uptown Hamel became almost entirely paved, it would be
less attractive to him and make him less inclined to go there.
Cavanaugh stated that Uptown Hamel has zero lot lines.
Crosby stated that 80-85% impervious will look like most development these days.
Kellogg stated that you don't want to lose site of pending requirements of volume control
for drainage.
Crosby asked where this requirement was coming from. Kellogg stated that it is from
watershed districts.
Smith stated that if we do 85% impervious surfaces, they will have to use some different
methods to keep the water on site. She stated that she thinks that will be tough.
Benetti stated that he thinks this is the whole reason for the ordinance.
Adams stated that this encourages more consolidated development.
Police Chief Belland arrived at 9:54 p.m.
Weir stated that the builders mentioned that they were unhappy about the restriction of
only allowing 30% to be warehouse. She stated that in a carpet store, for example,
typically the warehouse area is greater than the office.
Crosby stated that he agrees with their concerns.
Cavanaugh asked if the City wants that type of use in this particular district.
Weir stated that this wouldn't just be for carpet stores. She stated that this percentage
is fairly restrictive, but asked if a change would mean more loading docks.
Cavanaugh stated that he thinks the City should ask what kinds of development the City
wants here and then work backwards.
Smith stated that she could not find the 30% designation in the ordinance.
Simmer stated he thinks it may have been a different ordinance discussion about the
Business Park District.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
547
Cavanaugh stated that in Uptown. Hamel on the outdoor seating, we want to encourage
that, with impervious pavers. He stated that in Uptown Hamel it was used as kind of a
"carrot"
Benetti stated that it could be put under outdoor dining under accessory standards. He
stated that he will use the same language that was used in Uptown Hamel in this
section.
Weir asked if the figures under CG Conditional Uses have any meaning to us or not.
Crosby stated that this would cover carpet or furniture wholesaling or distributors. He
stated that he thinks it is fine.
Batty stated that on page 21 there is a category of the uses and the permitted uses
which is outlined on page 8. He stated that this goes to the issue that he was trying to
raise about what happens at the 10,000 sq. ft. threshold that requires the additional
scrutiny and additional standards.
Smith stated that a 200 foot setback from residential districts is substantial.
Weir stated that you wouldn't want loading docks facing residential areas.
Batty stated that in the section he just referred to, there are standards for the CUP, so
the Council needs to take a look and make sure they are comfortable with it.
Weir stated that she has trouble with outside storage and asked why we would allow
this. Benetti stated that, for example, Holiday Station Stores, has fluid or ice stored
outside for customer purchase.
Weir stated that she wouldn't call that storage, but Highway 55 Rental is outside
storage.
Smith stated that she would call it display.
Weir asked if we really wanted to allow outside storage. Smith stated that she doesn't
like outside storage.
Crosby stated that Tri-K has Polaris snowmobiles in crates, which is traditional outside
storage, which he doesn't think we want.
Weir stated that she feels outside storage should be minimal and totally screened.
Smith stated that she agreed.
Crosby asked if she feels that people should be able to buy fluid from outside the store.
Smith stated that she didn't think you should because she doesn't like the look of it.
There was a direction to staff that outside storage be highly restricted.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
548
Crosby suggested that the Holiday Stations should be allowed to display items under the
canopy or right outside the front door.
Weir stated that Jeff Peterson recommended going by weight for outside automobile
storage.
Police Chief Belland stated that a single axel truck can be about 18 feet long, and weigh
about 26,000 pounds.
Weir stated that we have less than 32 feet in length, which seems quite long.
Smith stated that she thinks 32 feet is too long. She would like to leave it at 24 feet and
keep the 26,000 pounds, which could be a panel truck.
Crosby agrees that it should be 24 ft and 26,000 pounds.
Weir stated that on page 19 she asked about the marine and boats being outside.
Crosby stated that the Council gets the chance to approve it. Benetti stated that this is
for typical auto sales businesses.
Smith stated that she doesn't think we want those in the area. She stated that she
doesn't think there needs to be outside storage.
Weir asked if this is a use we want to invite. Cavanaugh stated that he didn't think so.
Smith stated that she would like Subd. 5, (a) to state: "Inventory shall be stored and
displayed inside of a building."
Weir asked about hospitals needing to be 1,500 ft from residential zoning. Smith stated
that it is because of ambulances and noise concerns.
Weir stated that she wonders why farmers markets are limited to 2 calendar days per
week. Smith stated that she doesn't think they would want to be there more than 2
days.
Weir asked if staff had enough input to get working on these. Batty stated that the
Council will see this many more times before it is finalized.
Crosby asked if there are other developers besides Simmer who are interested in this.
Benetti noted that there was a memo left on the desk tonight from Dean Lunski.
Weir stated that the tree ordinance for commercial is extremely restrictive right now an
asked Mr. Simmer if he had seen the revised ordinance.
Simmer stated that he hadn't seen it yet.
Adams stated that this item will come back perhaps at the January 6, 2009 meeting but
more likely at the January 20, 2009 meeting.

IX. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
A. Individual Sewer Treatment System Ordinance Update
Crosby stated that the staff memo indicates that the City should focus on making
ordinance revisions reflecting enforcement mechanisms rather than ISTS guidelines that
the State and County continue working on.
There was a consensus to make the minor revisions to the Individual Sewer Treatment
System Ordinance as suggested by City Attorney Batty.
VII. NEW BUSINESS — continued
B. Acceptance of Mayor's Periodic Check for Return of Fees
Crosby stated that he is giving his check for $981 back to the City.
Moved by Weir, seconded by Smith to accept the check in the amount of $981. Motion
carried unanimously.
C. Met Council E-mail Addresses
Crosby stated that he was reading the Met Council annual report and wondered whether
the City could have e-mail addresses through the City, similar to what is done for Met
Council. He stated that he feels this may be easier to go to a single website for people
and would like to know how it can be done. Adams stated the City has discussed this in
the past and will bring more information to a future meeting.
Johnson stated that if these are listed they will start getting a lot of spam email.
D. Church Regulations
Crosby stated he has had calls from people adjacent to the Woodridge Church addition.
He stated that he thinks the City needs to think very seriously about churches because
these days they are more of a commercial usage than they are residential. He stated
that the two most recent churches, if you look at the number of Medina residents who
are members, is a very small percentage.
Weir asked Batty what sort of things could be done because she feels there are a
number of Constitutional restrictions on churches. Batty stated that there are significant
federal restrictions. He stated that staff would like to know if this is a concern for the
Council and a higher priority than it has been in the past.
Crosby asked if the City could have the Woodridge Church application be subject to
these possible changes. Batty stated that he feels it could.
Smith asked if there had to be a moratorium put in place first. Batty stated that he
would not recommend a moratorium. He stated that staff needs feedback from the
Council on the priority before they start researching this issue.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2008
550
Smith stated that she is concerned about the sizes of the churches and thinks the
community should have more country sized churches, not mega churches.
Crosby stated that these churches are not traditional, residential churches. He stated
that he is in favor of moving it up on the priority list.
Smith stated that she would definitely like to discuss the issue of size. She stated that
she would also like commercial standard building materials to be used and noted that
she feels the church on Willow has substandard materials.
Crosby stated that on Woodridge it is protected by the road, but all the surrounding
residents look down on it. He asked if this is a good time to do this because the
Comprehensive Plan has not been sent in yet or if it should just float out there a little
longer. Adams stated that staff would prefer it float out there a little bit longer.
X. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
There were none.
XI. APPROVAL TO PAY THE BILLS
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Smith, to approve the bills, order check numbers
033354-033422 for $177,790.49. Motion passed unanimously.
XII. CLOSED SESSION: REVIEW OF EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Adams stated that the Council would moved into closed session and asked those
present who were not on the Council to leave at 10:30 p.m. Adams announced that the
Council was entering closed session for the purpose of conducting an annual
performance review of the City Administrator Chad Adams. He stated that Mayor
Crosby, Council members Johnson, Weir, Cavanaugh and Smith would also be present
in the closed session.
The Council entered closed session at 10:35 p.m.
The Council entered open session at 10:51 p.m.
Crosby stated that the review of the City Administrator's performance in 2008 was good.
He noted that goals established for 2009 include:
1. Recommend and create green/sustainability policies.
2. Update City website.
3. Prepare Feasibility/Transfer Plan Report for German Liberal Cemetery.
4. Secure land for Public Works Facility and identify scope/cost of project.
5. Establish/revise service agreements with our major consultants.
6. Provide more public communication on the City processes, decisions, major
issues.
7. Carefully manage City resources/budget for 2009 and balance with long term
plans; and, list out such management of resources and budget more statistically
and metrically.
