to administer applications at the city level.

Stormwater Management Plan
Glenn Cpok reported that the stormwater management plan referred to in the letter form
the Minnehaha creek Watershed District has been put off as there seemed to be no rush
for one in Medina.
Ann Thies stated that the watershed districts need to complete their plans before the
cities finish their plans.
Robert Mitchell stated that the watershed district assumes that Medina is going to develop
like Plymouth.
Patricia Raskob stated that they own property to the west of an area in Plymouth that is
being developed for housing and that she has attended many meetings, always being told the
City of Medina needs to develop a stormwater management plan. She presented information
gathered from a number of meetings from the City of Plymouth and the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District at which the water run-off was discussed. She also indicated on a map
where the development is to take place in relation to their property.
Gary Acromite asked what the problem seemed to be.
Glenn Cook stated that developiitent taking place in an adjacent community must provide a
place for water run-off and the Raskobs do not want it diverted onto their property.
Pat Raskob stated that a city culvert under Holy Name Dr. can not handle the volume of
water being generated.
Glenn Cook stated that the water from the first development will flow in an easterly
direction but the next phase of the project will need to be monitored closely as the water
will flow westerly.
Gary Acromite asked how long it would take for a review.
Glenn stated that it would take six months and they would like to do the work for the city.
Pat Raskob stated that in the meantime the developer keeps on digging.
Glenn Cook stated that he had seen a plan and a portion of the water will flow to Basset
Creek.
Patricia Raskob stated that she believed that their plan was on hold that that she had
tried to call the watershed district but was unable to reach them.
Gary Acromite asked what the short term problem is.
Patricia Raskob stated that water backs up north of 2112 Holy Name Dr.
Jim Dillman stated that there is a 55 year old tile line that may not be working.
Patricial Raskob stated that is the reason why the parcel is called a landlocked parcel.
She also explained that she had asked Quansbeck of the watershed District, who was respon-
sible and was told that they had an inspector look at it once and that they were supposed
to make another inspection.
Gary Acromite stated that there should be an investigation of this complaint with inform-
ation about the cities plan to be discussed at a January meeting.
Robert Mitchell stated that projects are always reviewed on a case by case basis. He asked
if the city could do its plan before the watershed district completes their plan.
Glenn Cook stated that the city could go ahead any time and that in the Tax Increment
project list it is scheduled for 1994.
Moved by Acromite, seconded by Thies to have staff investigate water flow onto the Raskob
property resulting from a development being carried on in Plymouth and to report back to
the city council after January lst.
Motion declared carried
4. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Gary Acromite stated that council should decide how to respond to the Metro Council staff
recommendations for Medina's Comprehensive Plan.
Glenn Cook stated that the city should send them a letter as they could assume that the
city is in complete agreement with their recommendations. He explained that the major
difference was their recommendation that 65 acres of the Elwell Farm, now owned by Hennepin
County, be included in the sewer area, as it has been assessed for sewer by the city, with
the 65 acreage allocation to be taken from the Doerr property and elimination of the
Commercial/Industrial property owned by the Wessins. He explained that the formula used
for the 65 acres comes from that used to assess Cherry Hill Farm; that is $800 per acre,
with Hennepin County being assessed $55,000 as their part of the trunk sewer cost.
Council discussed the alternatives that were available; do as they request; remove the
Commercial/Industrial area and tell them we haven't changed our plan or add the 65 acres
of the Elwell Farm.
J-
Robert Mitchell stated that the original plan had over 1000 additional sewer units
so the city should be able to argue for 65 acres. •
Gary Acromite stated that the city should make the statement that they intend to keep
the .28gpd formula through the year 2003. He asked how serious the Metro Council
letter to Hennepin County seems to be.
Glenn Cook stated that the county has the right to appeal the recommendation.
Ron Batty stated that a property owner could make the argument that they wanted value
returned for what they had been assessed.
Robert Mitchell stated that the city put in the trunk sewer line to save work and money
for the county some time in the future.
Glenn Cook stated that they won't lose value, but its the timing of when they will get
into the sewer district.
Gary Acromite asked if the following responses to the Metro Council staff letter were
appropriate: Agree with the .28mgd wastewater flow into Plymouth; Disagree with phe
d � ctc,z�
staff re ommendationto reduc the expansion on the Doerr property by 65 acres -arid
elimination of `he proposed industrial expansion; Inform them that the city intends
to develop an on -site septic system inspection monitoring program; Agree to meet with
the Metropolitan Waste Control staff to outline a specific course of action regarding
an Infiltration/Inflow reduction program; Agree to extend the review date for the plan
amendment to January 23, 1992.
Glenn Cook stated that the letter should be sent a soon as possible and that he would
communication the response to the staff recommendations to Barbara senness, on Wednesday.
Moved by Acromite, seconded by Mitchell to direct Glenn Cook to prepare a letter to
Metro Council according to the items presented in the previous paragraph.
Motion declared carried
Robert Mitchell stated that Hennepin County, Wally Doer and other Medina residents should
do everything possible to help promote the plan.

Donna Roehl reported that Polka Dot Recycling had gone out of Business on Monday, December
9th and that a new hauler, E-Z Recycling had been contacted by coordinator, Margie Vigoren,
who agreed to continue the pickup without interruption. She stated that a short term
contract would be prepared and later a new RFP would be sent out for the six cities pro-
gram. She also asked if the November payment should be made to Polka Dot recycling in
view of the fact that the city had incurred expenses notifying resident of a new pickup
date
Council advised that payment to Polka Dot be withheld at this time.
7. 1992 BUDGET (CONTINUED)
Moved by Acromite seconded by Thies to levy $872,000 for 1992 tax collection.

November 20th meeting and ask them to review means for additional revenues.
