The City partners with Hennepin County to offer free consulting for businesses and
entrepreneurs in the community. Following is a summary of 2021 activities:
“Open to Business did 9 hours of technical assistance for Medina for 3 businesses
• 1 of the businesses was located in Medina and owned by a resident of Medina
• 1 of the businesses was located in Medina was owned by resident of Plymouth
• 1 of the businesses was in Maple Grove, but owned by a resident of Medina
• 1 health and wellness business, 1 IT business, 1 food business.
The technical assistance provided was primarily marketing coaching and education. The health and
wellness business needed help updating their digital footprint/online presence. OTB introduced
them to several free or inexpensive tools they can use to enhance their digital marketing. OTB also
provided insight, training for those tools. The IT business was a new home based company that
needed help establishing their digital footprint/online presence. This relationship just started and is
expected to continue. Open to Business was contacted for funding assistance by a food business.
OTB assisted the entrepreneur with assembling a loan package to secure emergency funding.”
D) Annual Reporting – staff is completing various reports which are due for 2021 activities,
including Municipal State Aid Certification of Mileage, Subsurface Sewage Treatment System,
Wetland Conservation Act, Stormwater Utility Residential Equivalent Factor calculations.
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jason Nelson, Director of Public Safety
DATE: January 26, 2022
RE: Department Updates
These past two weeks front office staff and I have been very busy with data requests stemming from a
trespassing investigation at Hennepin County Public Works. We also continue to work on year end
reporting requirements. I continue to monitor covid sickness within the police and fire departments. To
date most departments have reported some personnel out with Covid but we are not to critical levels.
We are hoping that we have weathered the storm again as it is being reported that the peak has hit and
hopefully will subside soon.
On January 22, 2022, our department held its annual in-service first responder training put on by North
Memorial. This included a lecture from Dr. Lilja who is a Medical Director at North Memorial Medical
Center. Dr. Lilja has over 50 years of medical experience and is extremely fun to listen to and learn
from. This, as always, was good classroom training along with scenarios tailored to police response.
Our Hennepin County Chiefs of Police group and Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association
representatives met this past week with Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman. The group is trying
to work together and look at police reforms and policies that the County Attorney’s Office has put in
place that we feel are not working. The goal is to work on these issues together so there is input from
both sides to come up with better refined policies and common ground on the current issues. This was
a promising first step.
Patrol:
The following are updates of Patrol Officers between January 12, 2022, and January 21, 2022: Officers
issued 17 citations and 20 warnings for various traffic offenses, responded to 3 property damage
accidents, 1 injury accident, 8 medicals, 4 suspicious calls, 2 traffic complaints, 4 assists to other
agencies, and 4 business/residential alarms.
On 01/12/2022 Officers were dispatched to the skating rink at the Hamel Legion Park on a reported
broken bone. A juvenile skater had apparently suffered an ankle injury while skating. Upon arrival by
officers the juvenile’s parent was also on scene. Officers assisted getting the party off the ice to the
responding ambulance.
On 01/13/2022 Officers responded to a report of a possible injury accident at the intersection of County
Road 24 and County Road 19. A witness had reported a car had been on County Road 24 and had gone
through the stop sign at County Road 19 at full speed, went off the road and struck a tree. Upon arrival
the driver reported minimal injuries and stated he was trying to get back home to Eagan after running
some errands earlier in the day. The driver was found to be suffering from Alzheimer’s, was somewhat
confused and had no idea where he was and had been driving around for several hours trying to get
home. The driver was transported to the hospital by North Ambulance.
On 01/14/2022 Officer took a threat report at Valvoline, 200 block of Clydesdale Trail. Management
reported receiving a phone call from the father of someone that had a car serviced at the
business. Afterwards it was reported that the vehicle began having mechanical issues and the father
believed Valvoline was the cause. Officer advised the issue with the vehicle was a civil dispute. Father
admitted he may have used poor choice of words while speaking with the Valvoline employee. Father
was advised not to return to Valvoline per the request of management.
On 01/18/2022 Officer responded to an injury accident in the area of Highway 55 and Rolling Hills
Road. Upon arrival the officer learned it was a single vehicle accident. The driver reported he was
eating McDonalds while driving and began choking on his food. The driver apparently blacked out and
drove off the road into the ditch and struck a tree. A homeowner in the area was snow blowing his
driveway and the vehicle nearly struck him when it ran off the road. The driver was evaluated by
Paramedics but declined transport. Incident could have been much worse for everyone involved.
On 01/17/2022 Officer responded to an intentional drug overdose in the 3400 block of Elm Creek
Drive. A juvenile reported intentionally taking an excessive amount of prescription medication. North
Ambulance arrived and evaluated the juvenile. Parents were home at the time of the incident and had
been unaware of the issue with their child until police arrived at the residence.
On 01/18/2022 Officer was called to a suspicious vehicle parked in the driveway of a residence in the
1800 block of Buckskin Drive. Upon arrival the officer made contact with a limousine and its driver
who had arrived to pick up the reporting party. The reporting party had forgot he had called for the
limousine.
Investigations:
I have spent the past month getting adjusted to the new schedule and the new workload, and what the
job entails, which has been a lot of fun thus far. I look forward to seeing what the position brings over
the next couple of years.
I recently learned information that begins to implicate a suspect in a burglary on Willow Drive. The
suspect was found to be in possession of items stolen from the house. I am now working on a warrant
to determine who was in the that area at the time of the burglary. DNA was taken from the house and is
being processed, and a known sample from the suspect was taken to compare against the sample from
the house, if there was DNA left behind. The suspect is not cooperative currently.
Investigating a theft from a construction site where the suspect entered the victim’s vehicle and stole his
wallet. He then attempted to use the stolen credit cards at Target and Home Depot for $2000. Video
surveillance has been obtained and we have at least one related case from Richfield with the same
suspect.
Took a report of a fraud from a resident who had $27,850 worth of fraudulent checks written out to an
individual. The name on the checks is a real person in the State. Copies of the checks have been obtained
and the investigation is ongoing to learn where they were cashed at to obtain video surveillance and
other information.
A follow-up to the burglaries at the Clydesdale Marketplace (Sprinkler room, X-Golf, and Dover
Saddlery), a warrant has been drafted and will be executed to determine who was in the area at the time,
as we have run out of other viable options with video surveillance or DNA.
There are currently fourteen cases assigned to investigations.

TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council
FROM: Steve Scherer, Public Works Director
DATE January 26, 2022
MEETING: February 2, 2022
SUBJECT Public Works Update
STREETS
• Public Works has been dealing with several small snowfalls over the past two
weeks. They’ve been a bit less work compared to larger snowfalls but are still
very time consuming.
• Public Works took delivery of road salt this past week. We treated 200 tons so it
will work better in the colder temperatures experienced in January and February.
• Staff will recommend that Medina and Corcoran contribute to fund the western
side of the Hackamore and 101 intersection project that Plymouth will construct
in 2022. The project is a much needed upgrade for Hackamore Road. Details
will follow soon.
WATER/SEWER/STORMWATER
• Public Works held a mock stormwater audit conducted by WSB to establish a
baseline and view of how we measure up with the ever-changing stormwater
permit requirements. Additionally, it captures details so we can move forward
with the necessary modifications to our 2021-2025 SWPPP (Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan) for the MPCA.
• I am gathering quotes to replace the filter media at the treatment plant. We expect
the results of the feasibility report will confirm media replacement is necessary to
get the plant back to full capacity. My goal, if possible, is to accomplish this prior
to irrigation season.
PARKS/TRAILS
• Public Works will soon be soliciting RFPs for lawn maintenance on city
properties. Historically we’ve entered into a two-year agreement with the sub-
contractor.
• I have remained very busy gathering quotes for the 2022 Hunter Park renovation
project. Quote items include court fencing, bituminous installation, coating and
striping, and concrete work.
• Staff and WSB met on site with the sellers for a phase I inspection of the potential
parkland purchase.
MEMORANDUM
2
• Staff published a commission opening in the February newsletter, on our website,
and on Facebook to fill the open park commission seat.
• Lisa, Derek, and I met with Christine (Facility Manager at the Hamel Community
Center) to discuss work order procedures and a general update on the condition of
the building contents and future needs.
PERSONNEL
• Public Works remains shorthanded. Included in the council packet is a request for
authorization to begin the process of advertising for the open position.
• Lisa is on track to move to Public Works full-time over the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking forward to focusing on numerous projects that have been sidelined.

Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Colette Baumgardner, Planning Intern; through Planning Director Finke
DATE: February 2, 2022
MEETING: February 8, 2022 Planning Commission
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Dwelling Unit – 3003 Hamel Rd –
Public Hearing
Summary of Request
Rehkamp Larson Architects has submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) on
behalf of the Abraham family to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit on their property at 3003
Hamel Rd. The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) will have two bedrooms, a living space,
kitchen, and two car garage. The ADU will be built in conjunction with a new home on their
property and will have compatible building materials and architectural style as the main house.
MEMORANDUM
Approximate Location of
Home and ADU
Conditional Use Permit Page 2 of 6 February 8, 2022
Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
The subject property is 16.97 acres in size and is zoned Rural Residential. An aerial view of the
property can be found on the previous page. The majority of the southern border of the property
is on School Lake or its shoreland. The property is bordered to the north by Hamel Rd (County
Rd 115). The neighboring property to the east is vacant and to the west is a single-family home.
The lot is subject to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District because it is located
adjacent to School Lake.
The previous home and barn on the property were demolished in 2017, so the subject property is
currently vacant. The proposed use would develop the property to have a single-family home and
one accessory structure.
Following is a comparison of the proposed ADU to the setback requirements of the RR district:
RR
Requirement
Proposed
Minimum Front Setback 50 feet 760 feet
Minimum Side Setback 50 feet 206 feet (east)
244 feet (west)
Minimum Rear Setback 50 feet 540 feet
Minimum Setback from School
Lake
150 feet 292 feet
Maximum Hardcover
(shoreland overlay district)
25% ~7% (with
house/driveway)
CUP Standards for Accessory Dwelling Units
An ADU is an allowed conditional use within the Rural Residential zoning district, subject to the
following review criteria (City Code Section 826.98, Subd. p). Staff has provided potential
findings for each in italics.
(i) No more than one accessory dwelling unit shall be located on a property. No
accessory dwelling unit shall be permitted upon a property on which a lodging room or a
second residential dwelling is located;
The proposed ADU would be the only accessory dwelling on the property, and it would
be an accessory to the single-family home.
(ii) Accessory dwelling units within the SR (Suburban Residential), UR (Urban
Residential), R1 (Single-Family Residential) or R2 (Two-Family Residential) zoning
districts shall be attached to the principal single family structure;
The property is zoned Rural Residential, so an ADU is permitted as an accessory
structure. The ADU is connected to the principal building with a covered breezeway, so
depending on construction of the breezeway, it will likely be considered “attached” to the
principal building in this case.
(iii) The lot shall contain an existing single-family dwelling unit;
The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family dwelling and the ADU
concurrently. Staff recommends a condition that the ADU becomes effective upon
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the home.
Conditional Use Permit Page 3 of 6 February 8, 2022
Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
(iv) The habitable area of the accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed the lesser of
the following:
1) 750 square feet for a one-bedroom unit;
2) 1,000 square feet for a two-bedroom unit; or
3) 40 percent of the habitable area of the principal single-family dwelling;
The habitable area of the ADU is 908 square feet, and it is less than 40% the habitable
area of the principal dwelling.
(v) The accessory dwelling unit shall contain a minimum of 300 square feet of
habitable space;
The habitable area of the ADU is 908 square feet, which exceeds 300 square feet.
(vi) The accessory dwelling unit shall contain no more than two bedrooms;
The ADU contains two bedrooms.
(vii) A minimum of one off-street parking space shall be provided per bedroom for the
accessory dwelling unit. Such parking spaces shall not interfere with accessing the
required garage spaces for the principal single-family dwelling;
The ADU has two dedicated garage spaces that do not interfere with the principal
structure garage.
(viii) No separate driveway or curb cut shall be permitted to serve the accessory
dwelling unit;
The ADU shares a driveway with the principal dwelling.
(ix) No accessory dwelling unit shall be sold or conveyed separately from the
principal single-family dwelling;
This is an on-going requirement, which staff recommends as a condition if approved.
(x) The property owner shall occupy either the principal single-family dwelling or the
accessory dwelling unit as their primary residence;
This is an on-going requirement, which staff recommends as a condition if approved.
The property owner intends to live in the principal structure and friends and family
members will occupy the ADU when visiting.
(xi) If the accessory dwelling unit is located within a structure detached from the
principal single-family dwelling, the architectural design and building materials shall be
of the same or higher quality and shall complement the single-family dwelling.
Additionally, the structure shall meet the setback requirements of the principal structure
and shall count towards the maximum number and building size of accessory structures
permitted on a property;
The ADU will be built at the same time as the principal dwelling, and the two structures
are designed to be architecturally compatible with each other. The ADU meets the
requirements for setbacks, and would be the only accessory structure on the property.
Conditional Use Permit Page 4 of 6 February 8, 2022
Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
(xii) Adequate utility services shall be available to serve the accessory dwelling unit.
This shall include adequate capacity within individual sewage treatment systems for both
the principal single family dwelling and the accessory dwelling, where applicable.
The application contained a design report for a new primary and secondary sewage
treatment system. The design has been reviewed by the City Building Official, and it is
expected to be adequate.
(xiii) Any exterior stairway which accesses an accessory dwelling unit above the first
floor shall be located in a way to minimize visibility from the street and, to the extent
possible, from neighboring property. Such stairway shall incorporate a deck a minimum
of 27 square feet in area;
No exterior stairway is proposed.
(xiv) The City Council may require compliance with any other conditions, restrictions
or limitations it deems to be reasonably necessary to protect the single-family residential
character of the surrounding area. A copy of the resolution approving an accessory
dwelling unit and describing the conditions, restrictions and limitations on the use shall
be recorded against the property.
The Planning Commission and City Council may wish to discuss any additional
limitations which are deemed appropriate.
General Conditional Use Permit Standards
In addition to the specific standards for both the accessory structures and the accessory dwelling
unit noted above, the Planning Commission and City Council are to consider the following
general criteria when reviewing all CUPs (City Code Section 825.39):
1. That the conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property
in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish
and impair property values within the immediate vicinity.
Staff does not believe the ADU will be injurious to the use or enjoyment of other property
nor will the CUP impair property values.
2. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly
development of surrounding vacant property for uses predominant in the area.
Staff does not believe the ADU will impede the normal and orderly development of
surrounding vacant property.
3. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities have been or
are being provided.
Staff recommends the provision of these facilities and compliance with City Engineer
review comments as a condition, if approved.
4. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide sufficient off-street parking
and loading space to serve the proposed use.
Staff believes adequate parking exists on the property.
Conditional Use Permit Page 5 of 6 February 8, 2022
Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor,
fumes, dust, noise and vibration, so that none of these will constitute a nuisance, and to
control lighted signs and other lights in such a manner that no disturbance to neighboring
properties will result.
Staff does not believe an accessory dwelling structure would bring up these concerns, as
they are more relevant for commercial uses.
6. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of
the City and to the existing land use.
The proposed uses are listed as allowed conditional uses.
7. The use is consistent with the purposes of the zoning code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
Staff believes accessory dwelling units are consistent with the purposes of the zoning
code and the RR zoning district.
8. The use is not in conflict with the policies of the City.
Staff does not believe the proposed use is in conflict with the policies of the City.
9. The use will not cause traffic hazard or congestion.
Staff does not believe the CUP would cause traffic or congestion concerns.
10. Existing businesses nearby will not be adversely affected by intrusion of noise, glare or
general unsightliness.
Staff does not believe the use would cause these concerns.
11. The developer shall submit a time schedule for completion of the project.
The applicant intends to construct the new home later this year.
12. The developer shall provide proof of ownership of the property to the Zoning Officer.
The City Attorney has not requested additional documentation with regards to ownership
at this time.
Staff Recommendation
When reviewing a conditional use permit request, the Planning Commission and City Council
should review the specific and general criteria described above. If the criteria are met, the CUP
should be approved. The City has minimal discretion when it comes to conditional use permits.
The City may impose additional standards and requirements, as described in Section 825.41 of
the City Code. These conditions may include, but are not limited, to the following:
“1. Increasing the required lot size or yard dimensions.
2. Limiting the height, size or location of buildings.
3. Controlling the location and number of vehicle access points.
4. Increasing the street width.
5. Increasing the number of required off-street parking spaces.
6. Limiting the number, size, location or lighting of signs.
Conditional Use Permit Page 6 of 6 February 8, 2022
Abraham Accessory Dwelling Unit Planning Commission Meeting
7. Required diking, fencing, screening, landscaping or other facilities to protect adjacent or
nearby property.
8. Designating sites for open space.”
Staff has provided potential findings for the criteria throughout the report. Subject to the
conditions below, it appears that the request generally meets the criteria. Staff recommends
approval subject to the following conditions.
1) This conditional use permit shall be contingent upon construction of a new single-family
home on the Property, and issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
2) The single-family dwelling and accessory dwelling unit may not be conveyed separately
and shall at all times be under common ownership.
3) The property owner shall occupy either the principal single-family dwelling or the
accessory dwelling unit as their primary residence.
4) The applicant shall address the comments of the City Engineer and obtain necessary
permits from the City, Hennepin County, Minnehaha Creek Watershed, and other
relevant agencies.
5) Grading, drainage, and erosion control plans shall be subject to review and approval by
the City Engineer prior to commencing construction.
6) The application shall meet the requirements of the wetland protection ordinance,
including provisions for recordation of easements, planting of appropriate vegetation and
installation of required signs.
7) The property owner shall abide by all conditions of Medina City Code Section 826.98,
Subd. 2(p).
8) The Applicant shall pay to the City a fee in the amount sufficient to pay for all costs
associated with the review of the application for the Conditional Use Permit.
Potential Motion
If the Planning Commission finds that it is appropriate, the following motions would be in order:
Move to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit based upon the findings
and subject to the conditions described in the staff report.

6. Public Hearing – Meander Park and Boardwalk Development – Medina 59
Ventures, LLC – PUD Concept Plan for Commercial Development and 60
Three-Lot Residential Subdivision (PID 0211823330003) 61
62
Finke presented a request for a Planned Unit Development Concept Plan for a commercial 63
and residential development and provided details on the subject site and adjacent land uses. 64
He stated that the applicant is considered an event center, restaurant, retail, and daycare 65
center for the commercial portion of the site. He noted that three residential units would be 66
proposed for the north side of Meander Road. He explained that the property south of 67
Meander is zoned and designated for commercial use while the property to the north is zoned 68
low density residential. He stated that although a PUD is requested to allow flexibility from 69
the underlying zoning districts, the underlying zoning regulations are used for comparison 70
purposes. He stated that the proposed development would by and large meet the standards of 71
the commercial highway district with the exception of the drive aisle setback. He stated that 72
in reference to the residential portion of the project, the applicant would like to use an 73
attached housing product in order to meet the density of the zoning district and because of the 74
location of the wetlands. He stated that recommendations were included from staff related to 75
the commercial and residential development proposals. He summarized the additional staff 76
comments related to transportation and trail connectivity. He welcomed input from the 77
Commission. 78
79
Piper asked if the large building schematic framed with a tree inside would be the event 80
center. 81
82
Finke commented that he believes that would be what is labeled as the conservatory which 83
would be attached to the event venue. 84
85
Jacob asked for more explanation on the internal transportation plan. 86
87
Finke stated that there would be a proposed access on Meander, noting that the main spine 88
into the site would have parking spaces adjacent. He noted that staff has suggested redesign 89
of the parking lot to identify that as the main connection. He welcomed input from the 90
Commission on whether there should be a public street connecting Meander and Tamarack or 91
whether the access should be provided through a private drive with cross easements for 92
access. 93
94
Jacob asked if the red dotted line would be a frontage road. 95
96
Finke replied that is the utility plan showing conceptual sewer and water mains. 97
98
Jacob commented that he likes the concept and if there is going to be a high volume of traffic, 99
there should be thought for a safe mode for people to access their vehicles and maneuver in 100
and out of the area. 101
102
Rhem referenced the commercial portion of the development and asked the flexibility that the 103
PUD would provide in this concept. 104
3
105
Finke commented that the primary flexibility would be related to building design and 106
materials. He noted that the other flexibility would be related to the boardwalk spaces which 107
go amongst all the uses. He explained that the concept would be to have outdoor spaces as an 108
important part of the uses on the site and provided additional details on how that would relate 109
to the commercial district. 110
111
Christopher Peterson, Medina Ventures LLC, commented that he also lives within 500 feet of 112
the subject site. He stated that he is very excited about the project and chose to enter into the 113
endeavor because he has been a Medina resident since 2015 and has worked in the city for 114
decades. He stated that during that time he has seen a lot of growth and a demand for 115
restaurants and recreation. He stated that his idea for this development would combine 116
multiple things onto a property that has a large amount of wetland and only a smaller portion 117
of developable property. He stated that they attempted to provide an aesthetically pleasing 118
development that provides amenities and services that are needed along with the ability to 119
enjoy the natural area of the wetland. He explained that the boardwalk would be a key 120
component of the development for that purpose. He noted that the three story building would 121
most likely not be three stories. He stated that the intent is for people to feel like they are 122
immersed into a wetland area while they are able to visit a restaurant, attend an event, or just 123
gather. He stated that his intent is to receive any input from the Commission and residents 124
that may be present in order to ensure that this development would benefit the community for 125
years to come. 126
127
Nielsen asked the applicant for thoughts on the staff comments for the traffic flow. 128
129
Peterson stated that they are trying to balance the needed parking without creating a giant 130
parking lot with too much parking. He stated that the entrance on the south side was placed 131
based on the comments from the City Engineer that there should be a distance of at least 400 132
feet from Fields of Medina West. He stated that having a road on the east side of the daycare 133
would require that building to be moved to the west, but they would be open to that. He 134
stated that they have went through multiple renditions of the design and can consider a looped 135
system. He stated that there is a dead property to the east and was unsure that there would be 136
any sort of access to the east. He agreed that it would make sense from the standpoint of 137
safety but also acknowledged that it would require cooperation from another party. 138
139
Popp asked if there has been thought to ecofriendly design. 140
141
Peterson commented that he has been in the solar industry and understands the need for green 142
roofs and sustainability. He stated that they do have a LEED certified engineer working on 143
the project and have also discussed eco friendliness with the architect. He stated that there is 144
potential but some of those decisions would be budget dependent. He commented that they 145
will incorporate the right type of sustainable design that is practical for the site as well. 146
147
Popp asked if there is a minimum parking stall number in mind. 148
149
Peterson commented that the range at this time would be 215 to 240, depending on the ratio 150
determined for the event center and the type of retail. He believed that they could achieve the 151
parking needs with 235 stalls or less. He commented that the target demographic often 152
utilizes other modes of transportation and therefore there is often less demand on parking. He 153
cautioned against building too much parking as times are changing with more use of things 154
like Uber. He stated that he would hate to build too much parking. 155
156
4
Sedabres referenced the residential component and asked for details on the proposed product 157
and density. 158
159
Peterson commented that he believed that four units could be fit on the northern property. He 160
commented that there is a lot of west facing wetland with relatively little upland compared to 161
the wetland. He stated that the density in the adjacent neighborhood is similar, the homes are 162
just larger. He stated that he would like to have three or four high scale townhomes that look 163
out on the wetland. He stated that he would prefer to keep the homes close together in order 164
to preserve more greenspace and be more visually aesthetic. He noted that he could also 165
adjust the road to not be as long and winding. 166
167
Nielsen asked if the applicant has any concern with the recommendations of staff. 168
169
Peterson commented that he does not have issues with the staff comments. He noted that one 170
of his main concerns is that this development is different and asked how the future 171
development of Tamarack Drive would be beneficial to this property. He noted that this 172
property would be boutique design focused on preservation of natural features and wetlands. 173
He was unsure the benefit that would be provided to this development by the Tamarack Drive 174
project in return for the financial contribution that would be required from the property. He 175
referenced the boardwalk and stated that his goal is to make the boardwalk a part of the 176
wetland. He asked for clarification on the latitude that they would have to get the boardwalk 177
as close to, or through the wetland. 178
179
Finke commented that the Tamarack Drive study calculated the projected traffic to be created 180
in this area. He recognized that looked more broadly and assumed that Tamarack Drive 181
would be a primary point of access for the subject site. He commented that it is fair to 182
recognize how the traffic generation and distribution would work, but also noted that there 183
would be benefit to having a traffic signal at Tamarack and 55. He stated that related to the 184
wetland buffer requirements and the boardwalk, he believed the PUD could provide the 185
flexibility in terms of the buffer. He stated that if supported by the Commission and Council, 186
perhaps the applicant would engage an ecological consultant that could provide more details 187
on the functions and value of the buffer that would fall beneath the boardwalk. 188
189
Nielsen opened the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. 190
191
No comments. 192
193
Nielsen closed the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. 194
195
Grajczyk commented that this is a unique area and appreciated the input of the developer on 196
his intent for the property. He commented on the vision the City has and noted that this 197
proposal would provide amenities that the community desires. He commented that he would 198
want to ensure there is accessibility for everyone in a safe fashion. He stated that he liked the 199
timber beam framed structures with a more modern look. He stated that a good mix of 200
materials would coincide with the material requirements of the City. He asked if this would 201
also be a good area for a bus stop for public transportation, as that could benefit the residents 202
in the neighborhoods. 203
204
Jacob had no further comments. 205
206
Piper commented that she is impressed with what she sees. 207
208
5
Popp commented that the concept plan is well done, fits with the vision and cultural values of 209
the community, and would provide amenities for the neighboring residents. He stated that he 210
also appreciated the connection to the park at Fields of Medina and potential connection to 211
the Diamond Lake Regional Trail (DLRT). He stated that he could support lesser parking as 212
long as the requirements are met. He commented that it is a beautiful concept and he is 213
supporting. 214
215
Rhem applauded the applicant and architect for a great design that fits well with the 216
Comprehensive Plan. 217
218
Sedabres stated that this is a great proposal. He noted that the thought of the event center and 219
conservatory is great and fits well with the natural setting. He stated that there are a lot of 220
separate buildings in the commercial portion. He stated that he would be open to lesser 221
parking and would be supportive of the request for a second entry. He stated that this is a big 222
development with a lot of induvial units. 223
224
Nielsen applauded the design and looked forward to visiting the development in the future. 225
She stated that she would like to see more of a designated road for access. She noted that she 226
would also support connection to the DLRT. She stated that boardwalks are a great feature 227
would like to see that integrated into the wetland. 228
229
Peterson appreciated the review and input from the Commission. 230
231
Finke stated that the intent would be to present to the Park Commission on January 19th and 232
to the City Council on February 1st. 233
234
7. Public Hearing – Marsh Pointe Preserve – BPS Properties LLC – 4250-4292 Arrowhead 235
Drive – Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan of Development for 30-Lot Subdivision 236
237
Finke presented a Preliminary Plat and General Plan of Development for a 30-lot subdivision 238
on approximately 12 net acres. He noted that the Commission, Park Commission and City 239
Council previously provided input on the concept plan. He stated that the density would be 240
proposed at 2.5 units per acre which falls within the range for low density residential. He 241
reviewed the surrounding land uses. He displayed an illustrative design which shows an 242
access from Arrowhead Drive to the west and terminating in a cul-de-sac. He noted that most 243
of the sites would be single loaded from the street. He explained that there is not enough 244
space to front lots on both sides of the road through most of the development because of the 245
width from the northern property line to the required wetland buffer on the south. He stated 246
that there are some wetland impacts to widening the roadway to provide access to the eastern 247
portion of the site, therefore the application would be subject to approval of the Wetland 248
Conservation Act (WCA) replacement plan. He stated that this proposed development would 249
be low density residential which has a density range of 25 to 36 units for the site, noting that 250
the applicant proposes 30 lots for the site. He reviewed requirements of the R-1 and R-2 251
districts, which would allow low density residential, and noted that the applicant proposes a 252
PUD. He stated that the proposal is similar to the R-2 zoning district standards and stated 253
that the applicant has provided a narrative explaining why he believes a PUD would be 254
supported by the proposed development. He noted that the applicant proposes single level 255
homes throughout the development and is open to that being a requirement of the PUD, with 256
more narrow lots. He stated that the proposed cul-de-sac is longer than the 750 feet limit in 257
Code. He explained that because of the location of the wetlands and park location there is no 258
alternative to provide access throughout the site. He provided details on the proposed 259
architectural design and related to transportation, highlighting the recommendations from 260
staff related to transportation that have been incorporated into the plan since the concept 261
6
review. He reviewed the tree preservation and landscaping details for the application, 262
providing additional details on the waiver request from the applicant. 263
264
Jacob commented that it appears a fair number of trees are being removed adjacent to 265
Arrowhead Drive. He asked if there would be any sort of natural buffer that would be 266
maintained. 267
268
Finke commented that there is new planting proposed along the western edge, but because of 269
the grading in that area, essentially all vegetation would be removed. 270
271
Jacob asked if there would be a natural buffer provided along the roadway. 272
273
Finke replied that the houses themselves are some distance from Arrowhead Drive and there 274
is landscaping proposed, along with the stormwater pond. 275
276
Popp referenced the ten-foot retaining wall and acknowledged that a fence would be required. 277
He asked the threshold for height when a fence would not be required atop the retaining wall. 278
279
Finke replied that he believed four feet would be the threshold to not have a fence. 280
281
George Stickney, applicant, commented that he believes this is the ideal project for this piece 282
of land and the neighbors to the north and south. He stated that each of the 30 lots are 283
carefully placed, with 29 lots having marsh views and all of the lots having private vistas. He 284
stated that there are lot widths of 68 feet, 70 feet and above. He stated that the average lot 285
size of 12,106 square feet exceeds the minimum of the R-1 district. He stated that there will 286
be right-of-way for the future along with the planted vegetation. He commented that this will 287
be a premier villa development. He noted that Charles Cudd will be the builder and is excited 288
to create some fun and creative floorplan options. He stated that there will be differential in 289
product for the different lot sizes. He stated that he will landscape the future outlot and right-290
of-way and if those areas are needed in the future, he can transplant those plantings/trees to a 291
different area of the site. He commented that he will have a beautiful entrance monument and 292
landscaped road. He stated that after the Council review of the concept plan, he added an 293
additional tree within each lot boundary which results in about 5.7 trees per lot. He stated 294
that he removed the park shown in the concept plan and made the three lots on block two 295
larger. He commented that building 25 two-story homes on the property would have a much 296
larger impact on the existing residential properties. He stated that upon walking the property 297
in a leaf off condition, he noticed poor quality vegetation and buckthorn. He explained that 298
he has met with all property owners on Bluebell that have abutting properties to the 299
development and has proposed a restoration and screening project for each of those properties 300
specific to the needs of each site. 301
302
Nielsen asked if the applicant has any issues with the conditions recommended by staff. 303
304
Rick Osberg, project engineer, commented that he noticed an item or two in the presentation 305
that were different from the staff report. He provided an example of 20 percent removal for 306
trees mentioned in the presentation, whereas the staff report stated 25 percent allowed 307
removal. 308
309
Finke replied that would only impact the required replacement and would not impact the 310
analysis. He noted that he would look into that but may not be able to provide that answer 311
tonight. 312
313
Nielsen opened the public hearing at 8:47 p.m. 314
7
315
Brian Lorentz, 4484 Bluebell Trail South, commented that he appreciates that the developer 316
has made himself available and has been meeting with the property owners. He stated that 317
his concern is that the development will block the wetlands from the residents of 318
Bridgewater. He wished that the homes were not so close together and this dense as it creates 319
a wall that blocks their views. 320
321
Nielsen commented that two-story homes could be built under R-1 zoning and asked if that 322
would be preferred. 323
324
Lorentz stated that he would have to see a sketch to know if it were better. He commented 325
that he feels that the home adjacent to his property is close to his backyard. He stated that if 326
the project moves forward as proposed, the screening will be important as mentioned by the 327
applicant. He stated that Stickney has provided each of the resident a draft agreement, which 328
he would like to see updated and signed along with the City approvals. He asked if that 329
agreement should be included in the City process so that it becomes part of the approval from 330
the City. 331
332
Nielsen asked if there would be a way to make those agreements part of the record with the 333
City. 334
335
Finke stated that he would suggest some detail be added to the development agreement, as 336
that could then be incorporated as an obligation and covered by a financial guarantee similar 337
to onsite improvements. 338
339
Stickney stated that he is honored to work with the neighbors to the north in order to ensure 340
they are happy with the project. He stated that he is going to provide those residents with a 341
contract and agreement. He noted that he is doing this as a favor and did not believe it 342
needed to be tied to the development approvals. He stated that these are agreements that will 343
be customized to the conditions of each adjacent property. 344
345
Nielsen stated that the landowners are wanting something that becomes memorialized with 346
the City but noted that could be worked out at a later time. 347
348
Finke acknowledged the comments received prior to the meeting that were provided to the 349
Commission and recognized the residents that sent in comments via email that will be 350
included in the record. 351
352
Nielsen closed the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. 353
354
Sedabres commented that he believes this is a good balance for the site and appreciates the 355
thoughtfulness and engagement of the developer. 356
357
Rhem agreed with Sedabres. 358
359
Popp also agreed with the comments of Sedabres. He commented that there is a balance of 360
making things work on the site and working with adjacent residents. He stated that the 361
alternative would be traditional R-1 development which did not seem preferable for any of 362
the parties. 363
364
Piper commented that this is an excellent proposal and thanked Stickney for his concern. 365
366
8
Jacob commented that he likes the presentation and concurs with the comments made thus 367
far. 368
369
Grajczyk also agreed with the comments made thus far. 370
371
Nielsen stated that she also supports the comments made by the Commission. She stated that 372
this is a wonderful design for this piece of land. She understood the concerns of the 373
neighbors to the north and hoped that Stickney could work with those homeowners to assuage 374
their concerns. 375
376
Motion by Rhem, seconded by Piper, to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat and 377
PUD General Plan of Development subject to the conditions recommended by staff. 378
379
A roll call vote was performed: 380

391
Finke stated that the intent would be to present this to the Park Commission at its January 19th 392
meeting and to the City Council on February 1st. 393
394
Nielsen briefly recessed the meeting at 9:03 p.m. 395
396
Nielsen reconvened the meeting at 9:08 p.m. 397
398
8. Public Hearing – Cates Industrial Park – Jeff and Chris Cates – Comprehensive Plan 399
Amendment to Change Future Land Use from Future Development Area to Business 400
and Staging to 2020 (PIDs 0411823110002, 0411823140004, and 0311823220004) 401
402
Finke presented a request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment for the Cates Industrial Park. 403
He identified the subject parcel and highlighted the surrounding property uses and future land 404
uses. He stated that the site is guided for Future Development Area (FDA) which signifies 405
that the property may be considered for urban development in future planning processes. He 406
explained that for the current planning period of through 2030, the property is not anticipated 407
for urban development. He stated that the applicant is proposing a business use within the 408
current staging period. He explained that the proposal would be for approximately 665,000 409
square feet of warehouse and light industrial uses with office. He stated that the concept plan 410
does not provide specific details for the development but is provided for context for this 411
Comprehensive Plan amendment. He noted that if the amendment is approved, additional 412
content would be provided during future applications for plat, site plan review, etc. He stated 413
that information on the Comprehensive Plan was included in the Commission packet. He 414
explained that the goals within the plan provide guidance as the City considers amendments 415
to the plan. He reviewed the goals most relevant to the question posed this evening. He 416
stated that staff provided a review of the available business property within Medina and are 417
open for development at this time. He noted that the supply of property for business 418
development has reduced since the City adopted its Comprehensive Plan. He noted that some 419
9
of the larger sites do not have development interest from the property owners. He also 420
reviewed the historical planning for this property going back to 2000. He provided details on 421
an agreement from 2000 with the previous landowner, noting that the City Attorney is 422
reviewing that with the City Council and the Commission should concentrate on the broader 423
land use question. He reviewed the details of the concept plan provided with the application. 424
He noted that another important consideration is related to infrastructure providing details on 425
transportation. 426
427
Piper asked if the warehouses would be served by large 18-wheeler trucks. 428
429
Finke commented that the majority of the traffic would be employees but there would also be 430
a fair amount of freight traffic. 431
432
Piper asked if Cates Ranch Drive would have to be able to handle that kind of vehicle weight. 433
434
Finke confirmed that the new internal street would be constructed to City standards in 435
connection with the development. 436
437
Piper asked if Willow Drive, in its current design, is capable of handling that traffic. 438
439
Finke replied that there would be improvements for Willow Drive as noted in the staff report 440
and summarized those improvements. He stated that many of those improvements would be 441
required absent the Comprehensive Plan amendment request as there is other business 442
property in the vicinity that could be developed. 443
444
Piper asked if this would necessitate a traffic light at Highway 55. 445
446
Finke replied that there already is a traffic light at that intersection. 447
448
Jacob asked if there is currently a turn lane from Highway 55 to Willow. 449
450
Finke replied that there are turn lanes from Highway 55 onto Willow and from Willow onto 451
Highway 55. He stated that as mentioned there would be capacity issues for the turn lane 452
from Willow onto eastbound Highway 55. He stated that while the fix would seem to be to 453
add an additional turn lane, there is only one lane for traffic on Highway 55. 454
455
Peter Coyle, land use lawyer representing the Cates family, commented that this is the first 456
step in the policy discussion to put this land into the business development status for 457
development. He noted that the Council has previously slated this land for the development 458
several times in the past 20 years and was only guided for FDA in the last rendition of the 459
Comprehensive Plan at the objection of the landowner. He stated that staff identified many 460
policy questions that will need to be worked out in time. He stated that the goal is to take 461
advantage of a site that is very well located, in an emerging business area, served by existing 462
utilities and is development ready in that sense. He stated that there are limited business 463
opportunities within Medina because of the development that has occurred, and the available 464
land designated. He stated that the traffic study completed as a part of the EAW identified 465
the improvements that would be necessary. He stated that the goal would be to develop the 466
site in phases from south to north in a four-to-six-year development horizon that would allow 467
them to adapt the traffic improvements. He noted that they would work with staff to ensure 468
those improvements are done correctly and properly. He stated that the property to the west 469
is commercial in nature while the property to the south is zoned for commercial. He stated 470
that Highway 55 is an important corridor and for all of those reasons they believe this is a 471
good location for new commercial activity to occur. He stated that the purpose tonight is to 472
10
seek support for the policy change that would allow them to continue to submit appropriate 473
applications. 474
475
Popp asked the type of businesses that would be envisioned for the development. 476
477
Coyle commented that the site plan is conceptual as they do not yet have commercial tenants 478
in hand that they could identify tonight. He stated that an industrial park/business park 479
concept has been provided that identifies different options. He stated that they would be 480
looking for clean industry, low impact businesses that would provide jobs. 481
482
Popp thanked the applicant for providing information on the types of jobs that could be 483
provided. He noted that he would also be interested in the number of jobs that could be 484
created but recognized that would be difficult at this stage in the process. 485
486
Nielsen opened the public hearing at 9:38 p.m. 487
488
No comments. 489
490
Nielsen closed the public hearing at 9:39 p.m. 491
492
Popp commented that he is unsure he is on board with the layout and how the land would be 493
used. He stated that perhaps he would be more supportive of a business campus type or 494
business park style of development. He stated that could lead to more greenspace and office 495
uses versus an industrial park that would have high traffic and truck traffic and less jobs. He 496
stated that the development also may not be as attractive for the surrounding properties, 497
especially if the site did not stay occupied. He stated that if the City wants to look at 498
economic development, he would support holding off on this to attract a campus setting type 499
business. He commented that growth management is an important part of the Comprehensive 500
Plan and stated that he does not see a reason to change the zoning from FDA at this time. He 501
asked if the business goals of the community could still be met if this change were made and 502
whether this change would have a domino effect on other FDA properties. 503
504
Rhem stated that he visited the site today and believed that a business use would make sense 505
in this setting. He stated that the concerns that he has relate to transportation and the 506
potential impact that could have on the improvements that would be needed for surrounding 507
roads. He stated that he thinks business zoning makes sense given the business use of the 508
adjacent properties. 509
510
Sedabres commented that he recognizes that the property is slated for future development but 511
stated that he would be supportive of the change in zoning. He stated that this use makes 512
sense, and he would be supportive. 513
514
Grajczyk stated that in the past few years the Commission has mostly considered residential 515
development. He stated that the City is always looking to bring in more businesses as that 516
brings more people, revenue, and potential. He stated that other towns and cities have had a 517
lot of success with business parks that have brought in a range of businesses that make the 518
community more diverse. He stated that one of his concerns is related to traffic and wanted 519
to ensure that the City could keep up with the best practices. 520
521
Jacob echoed similar comments related to transportation and the infrastructure. He stated that 522
he would support moving forward and exploring this further. 523
524
11
Piper commented that she is concerned with infrastructure, transportation, and traffic. She 525
also believed that there has been a focus on residential planning and believed this would be 526
good for the Hamel corridor. 527
528
Nielsen stated that she struggles with this request and is hesitant to change an FDA 529
designation. She stated that there was a lot of time and input put into the Comprehensive 530
Plan process and therefore she is hesitant to change that without knowing how that area is 531
desired to develop. She understood the need for business development and acknowledged 532
that there is business development in that area. 533
534
Motion by Grajczyk, seconded by Rhem, to recommend approval of the Comprehensive 535
Plan Amendment with the conditions. 536

Finke stated that a presentation to the Council has not yet been scheduled and encouraged 550
residents to check back with City staff or on the City website for a date. He stated that staff 551
intends to present to the Park Commission at its next meeting. 552
553
9. Public Haring – Ordinance Amendment – Chapter 8 of the City Code Related to 554
Maximum Building Height of Rooftop Elements and Mechanical Equipment, and 555
Screening Requirements for Rooftop Mechanical Equipment 556
557
Baumgardner provided background information on the previous discussions related to rooftop 558
elements. She noted that the discussions have been separated into the categories of 559
architectural features and rooftop equipment. She reviewed the initial recommendation from 560
staff and the additional items that the Commission and Council directed staff to continue to 561
research. She provided additional information on the concepts relating to a Conditional Use 562
Permit, religious use exceptions, limiting area of architectural features, limiting feature height 563
above roof, standards based on zoning district, and height of mechanical equipment. She 564
asked the Commission for assistance in clarifying the purpose of the regulation and whether 565
the recommendation meets the purpose of the regulation. She asked if a Conditional Use 566
Permit for architectural features would help to serve the purpose. She stated that if the 567
Commission believes that the recommendation meets the goals and purpose of the regulation, 568
a motion could be made to recommend adoption of the ordinance. 569
570
Nielsen opened the public hearing at 10:08 p.m. 571

Piper commented that this ordinance is beautifully done and is pleased to see how specific the 577
language is on each use. She believed that this would answer many questions. 578
579
Sedabres referenced the previous proposal with the spires and asked if this ordinance would 580
allow for the spires that had been requested. 581
582
Finke replied that as drafted, the height of those spires as proposed would not be permitted by 583
these limitations. He stated that there was some discussion of the Council and staff in 584
reviewing the different architectural features throughout Medina and whether they would be 585
allowed under the proposed regulations. He noted that many of the features would just barely 586
be allowed. He stated that there was discussion on whether these regulations would have 587
unintended impact on design. 588
589
Sedabres asked if the ordinance as drafted includes reference to the CUP process. 590
591
Finke stated that as drafted there is not reference to a CUP to allow additional height. He 592
stated that if a CUP is going to be used to allow additional height, there would need to be 593
specific conditions. 594
595
Sedabres stated that he maintains his view in that he has concern with nonconforming 596
religious buildings that have features that would continue to be allowed as they would be 597
grandfathered in. He stated that he would like to see a tool that would ensure new religious 598
institutions are not treated differently than those that already exist. 599
600
Jacob asked if there is a provision to offer screening for mechanical equipment on rooftops. 601
He commented that there is a variety of different rooftop mechanical equipment and noted 602
that he would prefer that equipment to be screened to protect the rural character of Medina. 603
604
Baumgardner confirmed that the requirement for screening mechanical equipment continues 605
to be part of the ordinance. 606
607
Popp stated that he can support the consensus of the Council from the December 21st meeting 608
related to mechanical equipment. He stated that there are a wide range of applications that 609
could be impacted and therefore the purpose of the regulation is important. He stated that he 610
would like to push for the option of a CUP to provide additional flexibility. He stated that he 611
did not see the benefit of regulating the percent of the rooftop for architectural features. 612
613
Rhem commented that he would also want to see some form of flexibility and would be 614
interested in reviewing how that could be provided. 615
616
Finke commented that in terms of flexibility, a CUP could potentially provide that, but the 617
flip side would be that the City should be mindful of being careful what it may get. He stated 618
that by making additional height for architectural elements a conditional permitted use, it 619
would essentially become an allowed use, subject to the specific conditions. He asked what 620
standards would be used to limit that flexibility. He noted that dislike of a design could not 621
be used to deny a CUP request. He stated that the City has gone through this process to limit 622
the height of architectural elements and including a CUP option would essentially void that 623
limitation. 624
625
Grajczyk commented that he believes the intention is to avoid a situation where something is 626
constructed that may be in a neighborhood or zoned area that may not fit and causes 627
disturbance to residents. He stated that he likes the staff recommendation as that provides the 628
best opportunity to provide the vision for the community. 629
13
630
Nielsen recognized that there is concern for the temple and that some Commissioners would 631
like to allow the ability for spires. She asked if the numbers could be changed to better 632
support that request, suggesting adding five feet to each of the regulations. 633
634
Finke commented that the Commission could choose to make its own recommendation. He 635
stated that he would caution against calling out a specific request. He recognized that it is 636
also helpful to use real examples when considering the regulations. He stated that there is a 637
moratorium in place allowing the City to go through this process as a result of the BAPS 638
application. He stated that there was a lot of discussion at that time that there were no 639
regulations for rooftop elements in place. He stated that it was unanimous that there ought to 640
be some regulation to prevent overly sized elements, and the question then is to the level of 641
restriction. He stated that staff’s initial thought to tying the regulation to the allowed height 642
in the district was that a building could be that height, so an element could also be that height. 643
He noted that allowing ten feet above the highest point was tied to the examples that exist in 644
the community. He noted that the highest BAPS spire was 30 feet above the 20-foot roof 645
height, therefore it would need to be ten feet shorter in order to match the ordinance as 646
drafted. 647
648
Baumgardner confirmed that the Commission could change the numbers if desired. 649
650
Nielsen stated that she is comfortable with the regulation as drafted. 651

Motion by Piper, seconded by Grajczyk, to recommend approval of the ordinance as 653

12. Public Comments on Items not on the Agenda 725
726
Bob Belzer, Wild Meadows resident, commented that he also submitted his comments via 727
email to the Commission. He stated that at the last meeting he provided comments and it was 728
noted that Nielsen would look into the issue. 729
730
Nielsen stated that the matter was referred to staff and it was noted that staff would respond 731
as necessary. 732
733
Belzer commented that in the PUD, he has discovered that in Wild Meadows there were two 734
amendments accepted that were not reported as required. He commented that those 735
15
amendments are major amendments and in order for those to be approved, they would have 736
had to go through the Planning Commission and City Council. He stated that Minnesota 737
Land Trust has holder rights as does the City of Medina. He stated that if the Minnesota 738
Land Trust approves an amendment to the covenants and the City were not aware of that, he 739
would consider that a major issue. 740
741
Nielsen asked what Belzer is hoping the Commission could do. 742
743
Belzer commented on the problems that exist within the landscape of Wild Meadows, which 744
has rapidly degraded. He commented that in order to get that resolved, the holder would need 745
to take action against the HOA Board which is not doing its job. 746
747
Grajczyk commented that he does not believe there is anything the Commission can do in this 748
instance. He suggested that Belzer get a lawyer to take action against his HOA. 749
750
Belzer commented that he has two lawyers and has involved the Attorney General. He 751
commented that the City of Medina has holder rights and could remove the HOA Board 752
members. 753
754
Nielsen stated that even if the City has that power, it does not mean it needs to execute that 755
power. 756
757
Belzer commented that one year ago the HOA held an election, and Johnson asked the HOA 758
Board to provide a letter to the association and the President of the HOA Board did not 759
provide that letter. 760
761
Nielsen commented that the Planning Commission is a recommending body to the Council 762
and there is no action that could be taken. 763
764
Belzer asked the Commission to launch an investigation. 765
766
Nielsen commented that the Commission does not have that authority. 767
768
13. Council Meeting Schedule 769

Finke advised that the Council will be meeting the following Tuesday and Grajczyk 771
volunteered to attend in representation of the Commission. 772

Date Submitted: 7/30/09
Submitted to: Minnesota Land Trust
Date Accepted: 9/01/09
AMENDMENT TO THE LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN:
ESTABLISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF
LOWLAND FOREST/ HARDWOOD SWAMPS
AND FOREST EXPANSION-SAVANNA
A guiding principle of ecological restoration is adaptive management. Restoration
objectives adapt to new insight gained from managing and monitoring these dynamic
plant communities. In the original restoration plan for Wild Meadows Development in
Medina, MN there are several small areas that are to be managed as mesic or wet prairie.
After extensive observation of these areas and consideration of restoration management
logistics, it is the opinion of Minnesota Native Landscapes that the ecological targets of
these habitats be modified to Expansion Forest-Savanna (for mesic prairie) and hardwood
swamp/lowland forest (for wet prairie). In these areas (see maps) this report describes 1)
the current ecological status as it relates to the current ecological targets, 2) the proposed
new ecological targets for each location, 3) the proposed methodology for establishment
and long-term management of the new ecological targets, and 4) a strategy for
minimizing potential negative effects on storm water management in wetl

Dear Kris,
Please find the attached amendment to the original restoration plan. The amendment
proposes new ecological targets for three wet prairie and five mesic prairie areas. I
provide the information requested by the MLT on June 2, 2009 for formal amendment of
the original restoration plan. For the areas with new targets I describe 1) the current
ecological status, 2) the proposed new ecological targets, 3) the proposed methods for
establishment and long-term management of the new ecological targets, and 4) a strategy
for minimizing potential negative effects on storm water management in wetlands.
3
It is the opinion of Minnesota Native Landscapes that the proposed new targets will be
ecologically appropriate and provide an attainable ecological goal. Initial establishment
of the new plant communities will begin in fall 2009 and be completed by June 1, 2010. I
have reviewed the suggestions made by Paul Bockenstedt of Bonestroo. I appreciate his
assessment and I have included the recommendation that box elders be managed so that
they do not degrade the structure or function of forest expansion-savanna areas (page 10).
Please review and respond to our proposal on or before September 1, 2009.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Eckberg

“City of Medina Planning Commissioner Nielsen reported that the Commission met the previous week 2 and received
input from a Wild Meadows resident expressing concern over ponds degradation. She stated that the Commission did
not have the appropriate information and therefore was unable to provide input. This was stated in the City Council
Meeting notes posted on city of medina’s website. “
