II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA Crosby requested that two items be added to the agenda under New Business; Acceptance of his periodic check for return of fees done this year so it matches the budget; and Discussion of whether the City could have e-mail addresses similar to Met Council. Moved by Weir, seconded by Smith, to approve the agenda with the additions, as presented. IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. Approval of the December 2, 2008 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes It was noted on page 8, line 7, it should state: "units per acre, requiring, two-sided 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 530 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 that this comment be passed onto them. Adams stated that he will bring this issue up for discussion at the meeting. Crosby stated that it should be a request, not a requirement. V. CONSENT AGENDA A. Resolution Recognizing Patrol Officer Keith Converse for Five Years of Service to City B. Accept $1,000 Donation for Park Bench from Hamel Lions C. Authorize City Administrator to Release Claims D.

Approve Bonestroo as Consultant City Engineer and Rate Schedule for 2009 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 531 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 532 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 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 533 u 0 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 534 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 535 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 537 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 538 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 539 U 0 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 December 16, 2008 540 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 542 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 543 0 0 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 545 0 0 0 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 546 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. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 549 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.
