B) Prairie Creek Preliminary Plat – 500 Hamel Road – Stetler Enterprises has requested

review and a public hearing will be scheduled when complete, potentially at the July 13 or
August 10 meeting.
C) M/I Homes Comprehensive Plan Amendment – 1400 Hamel Road – M/I Home has
requested a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the future land use from Business to
Medium Density Residential and submitted a concept plan review for a potential
development of 78 townhomes. This application has been withdrawn and will be closed.
D) Pioneer Trail Preserve – 2325 Pioneer Tr. – James and Melissa Korin have requested a 3-
lot subdivision of a 40-acre parcel. The City Council adopted a resolution of approval at the
June 15 meeting. Staff will await a final plat application.
E) Ditterswind Final Plat – 2032-2052 Holy Name Drive – Tom and Jim Ditter have requested
final plat approval of a 5-lot subdivision. The City granted preliminary plat approval during
the fall of 2020. The City Council approved this at the April 20 meeting. Staff will work
with the applicant to prepare the plat for recording before construction begins.
F) Holy Name Lake Estates Final Plat – north of County Road 24, northwest of Holy Name
Lake - JD Dossier Holdings LLC has requested final plat approval for a six-lot rural
subdivision on 90 acres. The City Council granted final plat approval at the March 16
meeting. The developer intends to start construction in July.
G) Weston Woods Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan – east of Mohawk Drive, north of
Highway 55 – Mark Smith (Mark of Excellence Homes) has requested a Preliminary Plat
and PUD General Plan for development of 76 twinhomes, 42 single-family, and 33
townhomes on the Roy and Cavanaugh properties. The City Council adopted documents of
approval at the January 5 meeting. Staff is coordinating permitting for construction of
Chippewa Road and will await final plat application.

Planning Department Update Page 2 of 2 July 6, 2021
City Council Meeting
J) Johnson ADU CUP, Hamel Brewery, St. Peter and Paul Cemetery – The City Council has
adopted resolutions approving these projects, and staff is assisting the applicants with the
conditions of approval in order to complete the projects.
K) Hamel Haven subdivision – These subdivisions have received final approval. Staff is
working with the applicants on the conditions of approval before the plat is recorded.
Other Projects
A) Wolsfeld Woods Ravine Stabilization – staff met with Minnehaha Creek Watershed, WSB
and Wenck (now Stantec) related to the project. WSB has consulted with a contractor on
the project related to the preliminary cost estimates for construction. Indications are that
costs may likely be significantly higher than previously estimated when Minnehaha Creek
requested grant funding. The City received approximately $230,000 in grants for the
project, which was originally estimated at approximately $300,000. It is projected that the
total project cost may be in excess of $400,000. Staff is working with Minnehaha Creek to
get another opinion on the project cost. In addition, Minnehaha Creek staff has indicated
that they may be a partner to fill the funding gap. Staff is trying to schedule a meeting with
the DNR to ensure they support the project on their property.
B) Met Council Comp Plan process discussion – I met with the City’s Sector Rep to discuss
what went well and what could be improved in terms of the Comprehensive Plan process
with the Metropolitan Council.
C) Elm Creek Watershed/Uptown Hamel Stormwater – staff attended the Elm Creek Watershed
Technical Advisory Committee meeting to discuss how Elm Creek intends to apply its rules to
redevelopment projects in Uptown Hamel. Staff had responded to an inquiry on a potential project
and wanted to verify that the existing ponding will be sufficient. Initial feedback was that a project
under an acre would be considered to be sufficiently met. However, the TAC’s initial feedback is
that any project which disturbs over an acre of property should be subject to Elm Creek’s new rules.
Staff intends to continue engaging with the watershed, because this could have a major impact on
development in Uptown Hamel.
D) Planning Intern – staff conducted interviews and is preparing to offer the position to the top
candidate.

RE: Department Updates
The summer is moving fast, and we are already into July. Our agency is preparing for community
activities such as the Hamel Rodeo July. While this does not occur in our city there are many things
that go on after the Rodeo each night in Hamel which requires extra police presence and then on the
11th is the annual Hamel Rodeo Parade. We really enjoy being part of this community event. After a
year off and almost all COVID restrictions being lifted, we expect big crowds this year again. Staff
is also preparing for Night to Unite on Tuesday August 3rd. Community Service Officers Billman
and Cook are coordinating on gathering party location information. We again look forward to
attending the community gatherings with council.
With this years’ Legislative session winding down I was hoping to be able to give a detailed recap of
what that means for police. There has been a clear message that police reforms are needed and we
are waiting to see what those reforms may look like. I am hoping to have more information in my
next department update as to what has been decided and how that may or may not affect us.
Sergeant Boecker, Officers Hall and McKinley are working with Lexipol staff on our policy manual.
This is a long and tedious process getting the policy manual through many drafts and revisions prior
to implementation. Thing are progressing and we are hoping to have the new policy manual to the
officers sometime in the fourth quarter.
Patrol:
The following are updates of Patrol Officers between June 9, 2021, and June 30, 2021: Officers
issued 34 citations and 68 warnings for various traffic offenses, responded to 7 property damage
accidents, 1 personal injury accident, 13 welfare checks, 26 medicals, 18 suspicious calls, 15 traffic
complaints, 36 assists to other agencies, and 7 business/residential alarms.
On 06/10/2021 Officer was flagged down at Hamel Legion Park to report suspicious activity. The
person reported a male hid something in a tree in the park and then left in a vehicle. The officer
went to the tree and found a pack of cigarettes. This same male was reported in two other similar
incidents in the Hamel area, leaving cigarette packs at the post office and on someone’s private
MEMORANDUM
property. Officers were able to make contact with the male by running the registration. He was
found to live in Plymouth. Officers made contact with the male and asked him to stop leaving
cigarette packs around town. It is believed the male is hiding his smoking habit from his family.
On 06/11/2021 Officer was dispatched to a theft from auto report along Meander Road in the new
construction. The officer learned a construction trailer was broken into overnight and numerous
tools were stolen. The case was forwarded to Investigations.
On 06/16/2021 Officer was dispatched to a welfare check of two young girls riding bikes along
Highway 55. The officer located the girls who said they were riding their bikes to Target. The
officer contacted the girls’ grandmother who they were staying with who was unaware that they
were riding their bikes on the highway. She came and picked them up.
On 06/12/2021 an Officer was dispatched to a medical at Aldi’s. It was learned that a female had
slipped on a tomato that was on the floor and possibly dislocated her knee. She was transported to
the hospital by ambulance. Officers were assisted by Hamel Fire Department.
On 06/12/2021 Officers were dispatched to a report of gunshots being heard somewhere near Holy
Name Lake. The area was checked and the source of the sounds of gunshots was not located.
On 06/12/2021 an Officer on a spot check in the Target lot observed a male park in a handicap spot
and go into the store. The vehicle did not have a handicap placard. The officer waited for the male
to return to his vehicle and found his driver’s license was canceled-inimical to public safety. The
male was arrested, booked and released at our police department.
On 06/12/2021 Officer cited two drivers for speeding on Highway 55, one going 84 mph and the
other 106 mph. Both drivers had just left the Automotorplex monthly car show.
On 06/13/2021 an Officer was dispatched to an intoxicated male at the Medina Country Club. When
the officer arrived, he found the highly intoxicated male sleeping on the floor mat at the entrance to
the business. The male was unable to care for himself and was sent to the hospital to sober up.
On 06/15/2021 around 0230 hours an Officer was dispatched to a house fire in the 200 block of
Hamel Road. Upon arrival the officer found the porch area of the home was on fire and all the
residents had evacuated from the house. Hamel Fire Department, along with assistance from several
other agencies, was able to extinguish the fire.
On 06/21/2021 an Officer was dispatched to a welfare check at the Dollar Tree store. A customer
reported finding the front door locked and lights on inside with no employees around. The officer
responded and found the store was supposed to be open but was locked up and no employees were
seen inside. The Officer was able to eventually make contact with a district manager who said due
to low staffing levels they did not have employees to work today’s shift, so the store remained
closed.
On 06/25 and 06/26 Officers took theft reports involving the theft of catalytic converters from work
vehicles at Maple Crest Landscapes and Gregor Farms Nursery. Evidence was collected at one of
the theft scenes and will be sent to Hennepin County Crime Lab for processing. Catalytic converter
thefts have been problematic recently around the metro area.
On 06/28/2021 an Officer was dispatched to a CSC report in the 300 block of Sunnyridge Lane,
Loretto. A resident of an apartment complex stated she was seated at a picnic table outside when
another male resident sat down across from her and began masturbating. The female got up and left
and then reported the incident to management along with calling police. The Officer made contact
with the male who admitted to “pleasuring himself” in front of her. The case is to be forwarded to
the Loretto Prosecuting Attorney for charging.
Investigations:
In the last week, there have been a few thefts of catalytic converters in Medina. The suspects work
very quickly and are able to steal the catalytic converter in a matter of minutes. Evidence was
processed for DNA and fingerprints at one of the theft locations. The investigation is on-going.
Investigating a forgery that occurred at a business in Medina. A suspect paid for their merchandise
using counterfeit currency. I am currently waiting for video surveillance from the business. The
counterfeit currency was sent to the United States Secret Service.
Investigating the theft of jewelry from a residence. The reporting party believes their child is
responsible for the theft. The investigation is on-going.
Received a report of a theft from a motor vehicle in the city of Loretto. The suspect then used the
victim’s credit card at two different stores in the metro area. I sent out a crime alert with information
about the suspect. Information about the suspect was also put on the department’s Facebook page.
Investigating a theft from a construction trailer. Several tools were taken from a locked construction
trailer overnight. The investigation is on-going.
There are currently (16) cases assigned to investigations.

PUD Amendment Planning Commission Meeting
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director
DATE: July 8, 2021
MEETING: July 13, 2021 Planning Commission
SUBJ: Public Hearing – Rolling Green Business Park Association -
801-899 Meander Court – Planned Unit Development Amendment
Background
The Rolling Green Business Park Association has requested an amendment to the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) regulating development on its property located west of County Road 116
and south of Meander Road. The original PUD approved in 2003 limited uses within the
development to office condos. The Association requests to amend the PUD to allow certain
retail and service uses within the existing and future buildings on the property. The other aspects
of the PUD (site layout, building size, building design, etc.) is not proposed to change.
The subject site is approximately 9 acres in size. Seven buildings have been constructed on the
site and there are 8 additional building pads approved within the PUD. The parking lot for the
entire site was constructed over 15 years ago. The Medina Golf and Country Club is located east
of County Road 116, the Villas of Medina Golf and Country Club to the northeast and a
warehouse/industrial uses to the south. A large wetland is located to the west of the site. The
site north of Meander Road is guided for Commercial uses, and currently includes a single-
family home. An aerial of the site can be found below.

PUD Amendment Planning Commission Meeting
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning/PUD Information
The subject site is guided for Commercial uses in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and is zoned as
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD was approved in 2003. Ordinance 358, which
approved the PUD, references the General Plan of Development and PUD Agreement. The
General Plan of Development establishes the location and size of the buildings permitted to be
constructed within the PUD and the location of parking and other improvements. The PUD
Agreement limits uses to “Office Park Units.”
The PUD General Plan included approximately 104,000 square feet of floor area within
15 buildings. Most buildings have a footprint between 4000-5000 square feet, each building
includes some 2nd floor area, and the buildings along the west are walk-outs with lower level
space as well. Generally, the building design is patterned after a more residential look with fiber
cement siding, peaked rooflines, and dormers.
The Association does not propose any changes to the site layout or design, except the
Association proposes to reserve one of the building pads as proof of parking. This issue is
described below.
Information related to the site layout and architectural design of the PUD is attached for
reference even though no changes are proposed. Staff believes the best way to review the site
and design of the PUD would be to visit the site. Future buildings will be designed consistent
with those existing on the site, and the location of the pads are visible.
The Association proposes the following uses as permitted within the PUD:
1) Office Uses (currently only permitted use)
2) Retail, except the following are not permitted uses: pet stores, pawn shops, and adult
establishments
3) Service uses, except the following are not permitted uses: hospitals, veterinarian clinics,
adult establishments, services related to automobiles, and services delivered off-site
(including but not limited to building/lawn contractors, electrical and skills trades, and
pest control)
4) Medical offices/clinics
5) Banks and financial institutions
6) Showrooms
7) Physical fitness clubs, dance studios, and similar uses
Amendments to a PUD
Section 827.41 of the Code describe the process for reviewing proposed amendments and
modifications from the terms or conditions of a PUD or an alteration in a project. This section
states that review of any amendment would follow the same review procedure as was followed
with respect to the General Plan of Development.
Purpose of PUD
Section 827.25 of the City Code establishes the following purpose for PUDs:
“PUD - Planned Unit Development provisions are established to provide comprehensive
procedures and standards designed to allow greater flexibility in the development of
Rolling Green Business Park Page 3 of 5 July 13, 2021
PUD Amendment Planning Commission Meeting
neighborhoods and/or nonresidential areas by incorporating design modifications and allowing
for a mixture of uses. The PUD process, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this
Code related to setbacks, lot area, width and depth, yards, and other development standards is
intended to encourage:
Subd. 1. Innovations in development to the end that the growing demands for all styles
of economic expansion may be met by greater variety in type, design, and placement
of structures and by the conservation and more efficient use of land in such
developments.
Subd. 2. Higher standards of site and building design.
Subd. 3. The preservation, enhancement, or restoration of desirable site characteristics
such as high quality natural resources, wooded areas, wetlands, natural topography
and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion.
Subd. 4. Innovative approaches to stormwater management and low-impact
development practices which result in volume control and improvement to water
quality beyond the standard requirements of the City.
Subd. 5. Maintenance of open space in portions of the development site, preferably
linked to surrounding open space areas, and also enhanced buffering from adjacent
roadways and lower intensity uses.
Subd. 6. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased
and orderly development and use pattern and more convenience in location and design
of development and service facilities.
Subd. 7. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets
thereby lower development costs and public investments.
Subd. 8. A development pattern that effectuates the objectives of the Medina
Comprehensive Plan. (PUD is not intended as a means to vary applicable planning and
zoning principles.)
Subd. 9. A more desirable and creative environment than might be possible through the
strict application on zoning and subdivision regulations of the City.”
Usually, the City is considering this purpose when determining whether to approve of the
rezoning of a property from the underlying district to a PUD. The Planning Commission and
Council are weighing whether the proposed flexibility of the PUD better meets these and other
objectives of the City than would be achieved through standard zoning.
Staff believes the Purpose of the PUD and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan are relevant
when considering amendments to a PUD as well. Based upon the scale or significance of the
proposed amendment, it may not clearly meet the criteria. However, if the Planning Commission
and City Council find that an amendment is inconsistent with these purposes and other City
objectives when compared to the unamended PUD, it would be appropriate to deny the
amendment.
Staff has attached relevant excerpts from the Vision, Goals, and Land Use chapters of the
Comprehensive Plan for convenience.
Rolling Green Business Park Page 4 of 5 July 13, 2021
PUD Amendment Planning Commission Meeting
Analysis
The approved building pads in the PUD each allow between 5,000-10,000 square feet of floor
area, so would only provide opportunities for smaller scale retail and services uses. Restaurants,
drive-throughs and similar more intensive uses are not proposed to be permitted. Staff believes it
is fair to assume retail and service uses will result in more nightime and weekend activity than
office uses.
Comprehensive Plan Goals/Objectives
The amendment would allow more retail and service opportunity for local residents, which is
consistent with the Goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the objectives of the Commercial land
use. Other objectives of the Commercial land include regulating commercial development to
limit impact on residential areas and requiring commercial activities that serve a broader market
to have access to regional highway. The Planning Commission and City Council should discuss
whether, on balance, allowing retail and service uses in this location is consistent with these
objectives.
PUD Purpose
As described above, many of the PUD purpose statements may not be entirely relevant because
of the limited scope of the proposed amendment. The most relevant statement appears to be #6
and the Planning Commission and City Council could discuss whether having retail/service
opportunities in addition to office on the site results in more or less of a “orderly development
and use pattern and more convenience in location…of development and service facilities.”
Transportation/Streets
Staff believes it is possible that retail and service uses may drive a slight increase in daily trips to
the site, but does not believe the proposed amendment will significantly impact traffic and
transportation infrastructure. Peak volumes would likely be less pronounced than office uses.
Sewer/Water
Different uses may have different water and sewer usage, but staff does not believe the proposed
use will impact infrastructure.
Parking
The site currently has approximately 258 parking stalls. Space for 12 additional stalls has been
reserved as proof-of-parking in the northeast corner of the site. With 104,000 square feet of
office, the City’s current parking requirements would require 416 stall (1 stall per 250 square
feet).
The minimum parking requirements for the proposed service and retail uses to add to the PUD
are the same as required for office. In fact, the minimum parking requirements for retail uses are
lower (1 stall per 250 square feet for the first 10,000 square feet and 1 per 300 thereafter).
Staff’s experience has been that office may actually have a parking need than retail and service
uses. The Association proposes to reserve the 827/831 Meander Ct. building pad as additional
proof-of-parking. This pad is in the center of the development and could accommodate an
additional 18 parking stalls.

PUD Amendment Planning Commission Meeting
Staff Recommendation
The City has a high level of discretion when considering Planned Unit Developments and
amendments to PUDs.
The Association seeks the amendment to be able to encourage construction on the remaining lots
by increasing the types of users who they could market to. The project was approved 17 years
ago and is just over half constructed.
Staff did not identify infrastructure impacts if the uses were permitted. Staff believes the main
consideration is balancing the goal of providing additional opportunities for service uses and
smaller scale retail uses against any potential impacts such uses may have because of increased
activity in the evenings and weekends.
The property north of the site is also guided for Commercial redevelopment, which may support
allowing these uses within the Rolling Green PUD.
Staff believes it is reasonable to conclude that the proposed amendment is appropriate and
recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The following shall be Permitted Uses within the Rolling Green Business Center Planned
Unit Development:
2. The Association shall enter into a proof of parking agreement over Lot 14, Block 1. No
building shall be constructed on Lot 14, Block 1 until six months after buildings have
been completed on all other lots with the PUD and the City has determined that
additional parking is not required pursuant to the proof of parking agreement.
3. Except the changes noted above, the requirements of the Rolling Green Business Center
should remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
4. The Association shall pay to the City a fee in an amount sufficient to reimburse the City
for the cost of reviewing the amendment to the Planned Unit Development and related
documents.
Potential Action
If, following the public hearing, if the Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendment
to the PUD is consistent with City objectives, the following motion could be taken:
Move to recommend approval of amendment to the Rolling Green Business Center
PUD.

COMPRENSIVE PLAN INFORMATION
Community Vision
The following statement provides a vision of the community for the future and the resultant goals and
strategies.
Medina is a community united by a common goal: to sustain and enhance the quality of life of its residents. Medina
will protect its significant natural resources and open space throughout the City, while honoring its rural heritage and
fostering safe and well-designed neighborhoods, places of recreation and destinations for citizens to gather.
Development within the City will be commensurate with available transportation systems, municipal services and
school capacity.
Community Goals
The following Community Goals are derived from the Vision Statement and inform objectives and
strategies throughout the various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
• Preserve rural vistas, open spaces, and wetlands in all parts of the community to promote
the rural character of Medina.
• Protect and enhance the environment and natural resources throughout the community.
• Encourage and incent innovative and environmentally friendly approaches to planning,
engineering and development.
• Expand urban services only as necessary to accommodate regionally forecasted residential growth,
desired business opportunities and achievement of other Community Goals. Such development
and growth shall be at a sustainable pace proportionate with capacity of schools and transportation,
water supply and wastewater infrastructure available to the City.
• Spread development so that it is not geographically concentrated during particular
timeframes.
• Promote public and private gathering places and civic events that serve the entire
community.
• Preserve and expand trails and parks to provide community recreational facilities,
connect neighborhoods, and encourage healthy lifestyles of its residents.
• Provide opportunities for a diversity of housing at a range of costs to support residents at all
stages of their lives.
• Encourage an attractive, vibrant business community that complements the residential areas of
the City.
• Maintain its commitment to public safety through support of the City’s police
department and coordinate with its contracted volunteer fire departments.
• Manage the City through prudent budgeting processes, retaining a skilled and efficient staff and
long-range planning and financial management.
Future Land Use Plan Principles
The Future Land Use Plan guides the development of Medina through 2040, and will be used to
implement the City’s goals, strategies and policies. The Plan is guided by the Vision and
Community Goals as furthered by the following principles:
Development Patterns and Neighborhood Form
• Encourage open spaces, parks and trails in all neighborhood developments. Surveys indicate
that a high quality of life is found when residents have visual access to green spaces.
• Create neighborhoods with a variety of housing types that are well connected with roads,
trails or sidewalks.
• Maintain the integrity of rural neighborhoods and promote development patterns
consistent with existing rural residential development.
• Recognize neighborhood characteristics and promote new development compatible in scale,
architectural quality and style with existing neighborhoods.
• Stage residential growth to minimize the amount of adjacent developments which occur
within the same time period.
• Guide density to areas with proximity to existing infrastructure and future infrastructure
availability.
• Concentrate higher density development near service oriented businesses to help promote
walkability.
• Consider planned development in surrounding communities when making land use decisions in the
City.
Road Patterns
• Recognize regional highway capacity and planned improvements, along with use forecasts, as
major factors in planning for growth and land use changes.
• Establish collector streets with good connections through the community’s growth areas.
• Promote trails and sidewalk access near roads and thoroughfares to encourage multi- modal
transportation choices.
• Consider opportunities to improve north-south travel within the City.
Open Spaces and Natural Resources
• Preserve natural resources throughout the community and provide educational opportunities
to residents to help them understand the value of natural areas.
• Preserve open spaces and natural resources.
• Protect wooded areas and encourage improvement of existing resources and reforestation. Evaluate
existing woodland protections and supplement as necessary.
• Support the guidelines identified in the Open Space Report to preserve the City’s natural
systems.
Business Districts and Commercial Areas
• Focus service businesses and development near urban residential densities and along primary
transportation corridors.
• Provide connections between residents and commercial areas and promote businesses within mixed-
use areas.
• Work to create job opportunities in the community for Medina residents to reduce traffic and
commuting demands.
• Emphasize service and retail uses which serve the needs of the local community and provide
opportunities for the community to gather.
• Support business development with a corporate campus style which provides open nd protects
natural resources.
Commercial (C) provides areas for highway oriented businesses and retail establishments including commercial, office and retail uses. These uses are concentrated along the arterial corridors and are served or will be served by urban services.
Commercial Uses
The following objectives refer to commercial land uses which will provide a variety of retail products
and services mixed with smaller offices.
Objectives:
• Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands, and other significant natural
characteristics of the property.
• Provide convenient and attractive shopping and services to meet the needs of City residents.
• Encourage businesses that benefit the local community by providing employment opportunities
offering convenience goods and services, utilizing high quality design, and having limited impact on
public services.
• Require commercial activities that serve the broader metropolitan market to have access to a
regional highway or frontage road.
• Regulate the impact of commercial development along the border between commercially and
residentially guided areas to ensure that commercial property has a minimal impact on residential
areas.
• Regulate construction to ensure high quality, energy and resource efficient buildings and to promote
such Green Building standards as LEED Certifications or the State of Minnesota Sustainable
Building Guidelines: Buildings, Benchmarks and Beyond (B-3) standards.
• Encourage construction that enhances the visual appeal of TH 55 corridor and the rural vistas and
open spaces of the City.
• Establish standards for the commercial area north of TH 55 at Tamarack Drive which results in a
high quality, walkable and appropriately scaled development which complements nearby
residential neighborhoods, emphasizes goods and services for local residents over highway users
and provides gathering opportunities for the community.
• Require frontage roads that do not directly access arterial roadways and limit access to arterial
and collector roadways.
• Limit the scale of commercial development where urban services are not available to protect
water resources and to integrate such uses with surrounding rural lands.
• Use the site plan review process to ensure that commercial and industrial uses are compatible
with neighboring future and existing uses, and with the adjoining public streets and highways.
PUD’s may be used to help accomplish this policy.
• Emphasize pedestrian safety.
• Require utilities to be placed underground wherever possible for reasons of aesthetic
enhancement and safety.
• Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to maintain public health and safety.

Reid reported that the Council recently met and approved a bar liquor license waiver, 24
approved a concept plan for the townhome development on Baker Road, approved the Final 25
Plat for the Ditterswind development, and reviewed a concept plan for Stetler Enterprises 26
proposed development on Hamel Road. She stated that the previous week the Council 27
approved the 2020 Annual Report, which is available on the City website. The Council also 28
approved the Charitable Gambling License for the Medina Entertainment Center as the 29
owners of that business wish to expand their options and changed from the Hamel Lions to 30
the Wayzata Youth Hockey Association. She stated that the Final Plat for the Reserve of 31
Medina 3rd Addition was also approved. 32
33
Neilsen referenced the concept plan for 500 Hamel Road noting that the Commission has 34
extensive discussion related to the buried debris and asked if the Council discussed that. 35
36
Reid confirmed that the Council also discussed that item but according to the MPCA the best 37
option is to leave that buried and the developer would be following the recommendations of 38
the MPCA. 39

5. Public Hearing – Pioneer Trail Preserve – James and Melissa Korin – 2325 45
Pioneer Trail – Preliminary Plat for Three Lot Subdivision 46
47
Finke presented a request for preliminary plat at the property of 2325 Pioneer Trail which is a 48
40-acre parcel proposed to be divided into three lots. He stated that the property is guided 49
and zoned rural residential, as are adjacent properties. He stated that there is a house under 50
construction on the lot, as allowed by City Code and would exist on what is proposed to 51
2
become lot one. He stated that the proposed lots exceed the minimum standards of the zoning 52
district and the location of the home under construction would meet those minimum 53
requirements. He referenced the location of Pioneer Trail to the east noting that the property 54
does not have access to a public street and currently receives access from a driveway 55
easement to the east. He stated that this easement would be proposed to be used to provide a 56
shared access driveway to the three lots. He provided additional details related to the existing 57
driveway and proposed shared driveway related to width and easement from the southern 58
property line. He noted that relocating the driveway would cause additional impacts to 59
wetlands and therefore the property is not proposing to move the driveway location. He 60
stated that the staff report also includes details related to tree preservation and stormwater. 61
He noted that each lot would provide stormwater management to offset the hardcover 62
requirements while lot one would provide the additional capacity for the shared driveway. 63
He stated that there are two large wetlands adjacent to the property and the applicant is 64
showing the minimum buffers within the plat. He stated that there is floodplain adjacent and 65
within one of the wetlands and provided additional details noting that data is based on old 66
aerials and elevations and the zone A floodplain is not accurate. He explained how that 67
proposed fill was reviewed and noted that the property owner excavated the wetland, with an 68
approved permit, to provide additional capacity within the wetland. He reviewed the criteria 69
that are considered for a subdivision plat. He stated that staff recommends approval subject 70
to the conditions noted within the staff report. 71
72
Galzki referenced the existing access easement which goes across private property. He asked 73
if that property owner has been consulted as there would be an increase in use. 74
75
Finke replied that the property owner was included within the public hearing notice. He 76
stated that 10 years ago the previous owner of this site worked to amend the easement to 77
specify that a subdivision could be supported within the easement. He stated that the adjacent 78
property owner agreed to the amended language that the driveway could support additional 79
lots. 80
81
Piper stated that she knows the property well and commented that to the south of the 82
driveway is a tillable field that is farmed on occasion. She asked if that landowner would still 83
be allowed access from the road as well. 84
85
Finke replied that he believed that was part of the driveway easement negotiation. 86
87
Jim Korin, applicant, commented that the Crosbys were part of the driveway easement 88
therefore nothing would be changed in that manner. He expressed appreciation for the work 89
staff has done and commented that they are excited to live on the property. 90
91
Neilsen opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. 92
93
No comments made. 94
95
Neilsen closed the public hearing at 7:23 p.m. 96
97
Galzki commented that he is happy to see this project moving forward and the property 98
owner able to successfully subdivide their property into large lots in order to maintain the 99
rural character. He appreciated the efforts that the requirements of Code would be met with 100
the exception of the shared driveway setback. He commented that this action would create 101
two nice additional homesteads on the property, and he looks forward to the property being 102
further utilized. He stated that he supports the smaller setback as it would avoid wetland 103
impacts. 104
3
105
Piper agreed that this application is well done. 106
107
Popp echoed the comments and stated that he found the staff report very informative. He 108
appreciated the considerations to minimize wetland impacts and existing trees and therefore 109
found the plans acceptable. He stated that he supports the recommendations of staff and the 110
waiver for the ten-foot setback for the shared driveway. 111
112
Rhem commented that this makes sense and is straightforward. 113
114
Sedabres stated that he also supports the waiver for the driveway setback. 115
116
Neilsen stated that she also agrees with the previous comments and setback waiver. 117
118
Motion by Piper, seconded by Popp, to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat for 119
2325 Pioneer Trail subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. 120

6. Connie Fortin – Site Plan Review for Construction of Detached Accessory Structure at 136
215 Hamel Road 137
138
Finke presented a request for a detached garage at 215 Hamel Road. He stated that this 139
requires a review by the Planning Commission because the Uptown Hamel district 140
requirement related to site plan review for structures. He stated that the district requires this 141
because the intent of the district is to focus on more intensive development and single-family 142
residential development in not generally permitted. He stated that the expansion of existing 143
single-family home properties is allowed. He stated that there are not specific limitations on 144
the number or square footage of accessory structures within the Uptown Hamel district. He 145
stated that this property does not yet have a garage on the property. He reviewed the 146
proposed elevations and building materials, which would complement the existing home and 147
carriage house on the property. He stated that the proposed structure would meet setback 148
requirements and stormwater management would not be required. He stated that staff 149
recommends approval subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. 150
151
Connie Fortin, applicant, provided background information on herself and her husband. She 152
stated that she grew up in Hamel and her environmental consulting business is located in 153
Hamel. She hoped that the home would become an updated version of the historical building. 154
She stated that the garage would allow a place for their vehicles. She noted that four 155
generations of her family have lived and/or worked in Hamel. 156
157
4
Roman Rowan, applicant, provided background information on himself and his experience 158
with Hamel. He commented that they are looking forward to moving to Hamel and would 159
like to have a garage for their vehicles. 160
161
Ms. Fortin stated that they will be doing everything they can to continue to make the 162
community great. She stated that she found this process to be very expensive and slow 163
moving for a garage. She noted that over $5,000 was spent for a survey of the property and 164
grading plan, which seems excessive for their 2.5-acre flat parcel. She wanted to ensure the 165
Commission was aware of the expense and added time. 166
167
Neilson appreciated the continued involvement in the community and through generations. 168
She commented that she was not aware of the length and cost of the process and suggested 169
that perhaps staff bring that back to the Commission for further discussion in the future. 170
171
Sedabres commented that he understands the desire of the applicant and uniqueness of the 172
Uptown Hamel zoning to require this review. 173
174
Rhem commented that he appreciates the effort of the applicant to ensure this fits within the 175
zoning district. 176
177
Piper thanked the applicant for keeping the carriage house. 178
179
Galzki commented that this project is one of the easiest to approve. He recognized the long 180
history of the family in Medina and commented that this would be a great garage. He 181
apologized that the applicants had to follow this process and commented that he would want 182
to review that policy in the future. 183
184
Neilsen appreciated the willingness of the applicant to have a detached garage to preserve the 185
character of Hamel. 186
187
Ms. Fortin appreciated the input of the Commission and the opportunity to construct a garage. 188
189
Motion by Piper, seconded by Galzki, to recommend approval of the Site Plan Review for 190
the detached accessory structure at 215 Hamel Road. 191
192
