C. Planning Commission
Finke reported that the Planning Commission will meet the following week to review the
presentation for Uptown Hamel and discuss the strategy to implement some of the
recommendations.
VII. PRESENTATIONS
A. Uptown Hamel Study/Presentation – U of M Humphrey Students (7:10 p.m.)
Nick Kieser (one of the students) thanked the staff, Council and Planning Commission
for their assistance and support throughout this process. He noted that a more detailed
report will be sent to staff following the presentation. He noted that much of the
information is based off of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives for
Uptown Hamel, but also incorporates the input received from the community. He
explained that the three objectives of the study were to conduct engagement activities,
identify and research trends, and provide recommendations.
Katie Page (one of the students) stated that three different open houses were held in an
attempt to attract the widest amount of community participation. She noted that online
surveys were also available for those that were unable to attend but still wanted to
participate. She stated that communication through email and online mapping activities
were also available. She described the three activities that were available at the open
house meetings including dream street, vision map, and preference scales. She noted
that additional input was received through comment cards at the open houses and
through the online activities available.
Mary Cutrufello (one of the students) stated that after conducting the open house and
online activities, they were able to identify four trends: restaurants, shops, and small
businesses; a sense of historic feel; parking issues; and building height/physical
dimensions of the street. She stated that there is a desire from residents for casual
dining and coffee shops. She stated that the residents preferred to have a local, more
unique option for dining, rather than a chain restaurant. She moved to the comments
relating to the historic feel, noting that Uptown Hamel has a different character and
people think it is important to maintain that character. She stated that when thinking
about further development/redevelopment the issue of parking came forward. She noted
that while there do not appear to be parking problems currently, there is concern that
parking issues could arise with further development of that area. She noted that people
prefer parking behind buildings, keeping the storefronts closer to the street to maintain
the historic feel and walkability. She provided details on the input received regarding
building height related to mixed use development, noting that people were supportive of
two to three stories. She used the example of retail or restaurant on the street level with
residential above.
Kieser summarized the recommendations that came out of this process that include
future community engagement, noting that the City can continue to build upon the
process that began in this study through community events, utilization of the community
groups, and use of social media. He stated that a parking study could be completed that
would determine available parking and possibilities for future development. He stated
that building height would come through new design guidelines for the area, which will
help to drive development in the manner that people want to see. He noted that food
trucks could be allowed at existing and future events to gauge the interest of residents
and could lead to permanent transitions. He stated that people want pedestrian

connectivity to Uptown Hamel. He identified programs that could assist in the Uptown
Hamel area including the Minnesota Main Street Program.
Martin thanked the student group for its input and for completion of the project.
Pederson commended the students and agreed that parking would be an issue in the
future. He asked if a potential location was identified for future parking.
Kieser replied that the vision mapping included different preferences for parking but
noted that the trend identified parking behind the building, away from the roadway. He
confirmed the preference for building height to be between two and three stories.
Albers agreed that this was a great study with a good approach. He noted that he was
not surprised that residents continue to desire restaurants and coffee shops in that area.
DesLauriers stated that he appreciated being able to be a part of the process. He
agreed that much of the desires from the public were known and noted that the
challenge will be attempting to bring those desires to fruition with the challenges of the
existing infrastructure.
Anderson commended the students for their work, who put a lot of time and effort into
the work.
Martin stated that she attended one of the open houses and noted that most of the
residents that participated seemed to be in close proximity to the Uptown Hamel area.
Kieser stated that most residents came from the Enclave while there were residents from
other parts of the city.
Martin agreed that the Council is not surprised by the desires of the community in
wanting restaurants and places to gather. She asked if there are recommendations in
the report on how the City could attract those types of businesses to the Uptown Hamel
area.
Page stated that the City should build the environment, making the area pedestrian
friendly and completing the infrastructural changes that could attract retailers.
Martin stated that she liked the idea of using food trucks to bring attention to the area
and to show that there is a drive to have that type of business in Uptown Hamel.
Page stated that the ball games tend to bring in a large group of people and that could
be a good opportunity to bring in a food truck. She noted that the report identifies
strategies that the City could use to incentivize businesses.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Ordinance Rezoning Certain Properties to Rural Residential-Urban Reserve
(RR-UR) (7:41 p.m.)
Finke stated that this is a continuation of previous discussions the Council has had to
review and rezone properties to be consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. He
stated that these five properties were a piece of the ordinance discussion, noting that the
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 5
May 7, 2019
Planning Commission had desired additional discussion on these five properties before
making a recommendation. He noted that there were a number of public hearings held
on this topic. He stated that following the March 12th meeting, the Planning Commission
recommended that three of the five properties be rezoned to the Rural Residential-Urban
Reserve (RR-UR) while the remaining two remain in Rural Business Holding (RBH). He
stated that in the previous Comprehensive Plan, the properties were identified to be
incorporated into the MUSA and available for development as early as 2025, while the
2040 Plan pushes that potential development further out. He provided background
information on the allowed uses within the RR-UR and the RBH districts. He stated that
self-storage or mini-storage is an interesting example where water usage does not
correlate well to the allowed size of the structure. He stated that if the City is interested
in allowing business within the RBH, perhaps a different matrix should be developed for
the size of allowed uses. He stated that a property owner advocated for the continued
business designation at the public hearings and staff raised concern with the access of
that property. He stated that staff does not recommend the RBH for properties that
would have access from Highway 55 or the smaller roadways. He stated that parcel 26
does have access to the County Road and therefore access would not be an issue. He
stated that staff recommends that the properties be rezoned to RR-UR and if a property
wishes to, they could request RBH at the time of a development request. He stated that
the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter at their last meeting and
recommended that parcels 26 and 29 not be rezoned and instead be left in RBH.
Pederson stated that he serves on the Highway 55 Coalition and the objective is to not
create more accesses onto Highway 55. He stated that it would not make sense to
incentivize the existing accesses. He referenced lot 26, noting that when County Road
19 redevelops there will need to be stacking and a backage road would need to be used
for access, as he did not see how access from Highway 55 could be supported for that
corner property. He agreed that Town Line and Pioneer are not built to support business
use.
Albers agreed that there is not a good access. He stated that he would support rezoning
all the properties to RR-UR rather than splitting the five properties between the two
districts.
Martin asked and received confirmation that parcels 26 and 29 would not have access to
Pioneer.
Finke provided details on how both properties currently have access, noting that parcel
26 has access onto CR 19, while parcel 29 has a driveway onto Highway 55.
Martin asked the type of approval that would be needed if the owner of parcel 29 wanted
to build a mini storage business on their parcel, should the property be rezoned RBH.
Finke stated that the property would need a Site Plan review. He noted that the parcel
would either continue to access from Highway 55 or would have an access onto a
subpar roadway that was not constructed to support business traffic. He stated that
should the Council decide that some type of business activity is allowed in the future
development area, that would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Martin stated that it does not sound like the allowed uses under either RR-UR or RBH
would intensify traffic. She stated that perhaps it would make sense strategically for the
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 6
May 7, 2019
City to allow limited development, as stated in the report, because the decision to
postpone future residential development has been made. She stated that this seems to
be a reasonable interim use that would also assist the tax base.
Pederson asked why the other three parcel owners would not come forward to request
similar zoning to RBH.
Martin noted that those three property owners have not objected to the proposed
rezoning to RR-UR.
Anderson stated that zoning all five properties to RR-UR would still allow a potential
developer to come forward and request a rezoning. He stated that he would support
following the staff recommendation to rezone all five properties to RR-UR.
Finke stated that if capacity for business development is something the Council is
interested in, he would possibly suggest looking for those opportunities closer to the
availability of sewer and water and updated infrastructure.
DesLauriers stated that many of the issues brought forward were discussed through the
Comprehensive Plan process, including access and consistency.
Joe Cavanaugh Jr., 275 Lakeview Road and owner of parcel 29, asked the Council to
keep an open mind. He stated that his property has been zoned rural business for the
past 15 years and they have held the property with the intention that sewer and water
would be brought to the parcel for development. He recognized that the ability to
develop the parcel has been pushed off for at least another 10 to 15 years and is asking
that he be allowed to do something for cashflow with the property in the meantime. He
stated that the property should be zoned in a way that the property will be used in the
future. He explained that it does not make sense for homes to be built on that property
along Highway 55. He stated that his property has slopes and the majority is not
buildable because of the steep slopes. He asked that he be allowed to do something
with his property in the time being, noting that the use has not caused problems thus far.
He stated that the Planning Commission supported his request and he is more than
willing to work with the City.
Martin stated that staff is recommending that the parcel be rezoned RR-UR and he could
then come back with a rezoning request in the future if desired when there is a real
project in mind. She asked if the property owner would be able to continue the current
activity.
Finke stated that staff has not reviewed or approved any business activity on the site
thus far.
Cavanaugh replied that the process is difficult to request a rezoning once a parcel is
zoned in one manner. He stated that he is simply looking to use a small portion of the
property in the time before sewer and water is brought to the area. He noted that he
would be interested in boat storage that could generate some income. He noted that
people are not coming and going often with that use.
DesLauriers asked and received confirmation from Mr. Cavanaugh that traffic has not
intensified with the current use of the property.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 7
May 7, 2019
1. Ordinance No. 647 Amending the Official Zoning Map to Rezone
Properties to the Rural Residential-Urban Reserve District
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Albers, to Adopt Ordinance No. 647 Amending the
Official Zoning Map to Rezone Properties to the Rural Residential-Urban Reserve
District.
Further discussion: Martin stated that she is struggling with the fact that people have
owned properties for a long period of time awaiting development and that development
ability has been delayed. She commented that she does not see the harm in letting this
property owner continue his use and having boat storage.
Finke stated that it would be disincentivizing to require a rezoning. He stated that if
there is an interest in allowing business, zoning the property RBH would make more
sense.
Motion passed 3-1 (Martin opposed) (Pederson recused himself).
1. Resolution No. 2019-32 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance No.
647 by Title and Summary
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Albers, to Adopt Resolution No. 2019-32 Authorizing
Publication of Ordinance No. 647 by Title and Summary. Motion passed unanimously.
(Pederson recused himself)
B. Patricia Raskob Trust – 500 Hamel Road – Preliminary Plat (8:13 p.m.)
Finke stated that this request is to subdivide the property into two halves. He noted that
there is not a development request, the property owner is simply interested in marketing
the property as two pieces. He displayed the Preliminary Plat, noting that the northern
half of the property is essentially unbuildable because of slope and the location of the
City stormwater pond. He stated that the City is paying for the subdivision costs as part
of the agreement that was created allowing the easement for the City stormwater pond.
He noted the location of Elm Creek and the required setbacks and hardcover
requirements because of the overlay district. He stated that one of the conditions of the
subdivision would be that the lots cannot exceed the hardcover requirement, which
would negate the ability for a future property owner to request a hardcover variance in
the future. He stated that the applicant has provided a floodplain mitigation plan that
would support the creation of a driveway without creating net impacts to the floodplain.
He reviewed the current zoning of the property, noting that the property would most likely
be rezoned in the future when the Uptown Hamel review is completed. He noted that
the subdivided property would continue to fit within the Uptown Hamel or mixed-use
districts and therefore the subdivision would not have an impact on future rezoning. He
stated that the Planning Commission held a public hearing the previous month and
recommended unanimous approval of the request subject to the conditions listed in the
report. He noted that the adjacent property owner has expressed concern with the
location of the identified lot lines and that will need to be resolved.
Joe Cavanaugh Jr., 275 Lakeview Road, stated that he raised concerns with the lot lines
two months ago. He stated that the lot lines have been moved by 40 feet but are still off.
He asked if that resolution would be a condition of the approval.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 8
May 7, 2019
Batty stated that he cannot guarantee that everyone will be happy. He stated that it
seems the question is not with the dimension of the lot but just where that lot lies. He
noted that the discrepancy has shrunk from 40 feet to two feet. He stated that the
County surveyor will determine the final location. He stated that this is a Preliminary
Plat. He stated that the title work matches the plat and therefore the applicants have
good title, the question is where the property is located on the earth. He stated that the
surveyors will make the final decision and the City will need to find it satisfactory, as the
other parties may not ultimately agree with the results.
Anderson asked about the length of time the survey process would take.
Finke was unsure of the timeline. He noted that the applicant’s surveyor was hoping to
touch base with the County the following day. He stated that this would be added as a
condition of final plat and the applicant would not be able to move forward until that
condition has been satisfied.
Martin stated that if the parties do not end up agreeing, there could be an adverse claim
on the title.
Anderson stated that approving the Preliminary Plat could put the Council in an awkward
position in so far as there seems to be a discrepancy as to the property lines.
Johnson stated that the action tonight would simply be to direct staff to prepare the
resolution.
Batty stated that there is no question on the title, the question is where that property lies.
He stated that there does not seem to be a question of gap or overlay but where the
properties lie.
Finke stated that the resolution would not appear on the Consent Agenda if it is not to
the satisfaction of the City.
Pederson asked if the applicant can use the stormwater pond.
Finke confirmed use of the stormwater pond was part of the agreement for the City
easement.
Martin suggested changes to the proposed conditions one and four. She asked if it is
standard operating procedure to delay the payment of park dedication to the receipt of
building permit.
Finke confirmed that is consistent for the City.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to direct staff to prepare a resolution granting
preliminary plat approval with the conditions stated in the report with three changes: #1
would be augmented to include the posting of financial guarantees with respect thereto;
#4 would be changed to state that the owner shall acknowledge in the development
agreement that a letter of map amendment from FEMA may be necessary to avoid flood
insurance with future improvements to lot two; and adding a condition #9 that there be a
resolution satisfactory to the City Council of the surveying issues with the neighboring
property owner as discussed on the record tonight. Motion passed unanimously.

May 7, 2019
C. Jeff Pederson – 4790 Rolling Hills Road – Site Plan Review for Construction
of a Mini-Storage Building (8:31 p.m.)
Pederson recused himself from the discussion.
Finke stated that the original mini-storage was created in 1995 and in 2015, three
additional structures were approved and constructed in 2016. He noted that this request
would be the final building for the property which is zoned RBH. He reviewed the
adjacent property zoning and uses. He stated that the proposed building would be 4,320
square feet and would be constructed on existing hardcover, therefore not increasing the
total amount of hardcover on the site. He noted that there would be a condition requiring
the runoff from the new building to be directed to the existing stormwater pond. He
reviewed the proposed building materials, height and setbacks. He stated that the
Planning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting the previous month and
recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
Martin asked if there would be additional park dedication required.
Finke stated that park dedication is triggered by subdivisions, noting that this is not that
type of request.
Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Anderson, to approve the Site Plan Review with
the conditions noted in the staff report. Motion passed unanimously.
Pederson rejoined the Council.
D. 2019 Staff Needs Analysis and Succession Plan (8:36 p.m.)
Johnson stated that there was good discussion on this topic at the March 19th
worksession. He noted that he took that input back to staff to discuss the true needs
over the next ten years. He noted that the plan is flexible, dependent on the conditions
in the market and staff workloads.
Belland stated that a survey of adjacent and like communities was done to compare
salary ranges. He stated that for patrol officers, Medina ranks fifth for wages and ranks
first for health benefits. He explained it continues to be difficult to recruit police officers,
noting that Medina competes for recruits with larger departments which rank much
higher in terms of pay. He stated that having great benefits is a good selling point for
recruits and helps to retain employees. He noted that a combination of benefits and
salary is important.
Scherer agreed that it is becoming more difficult to recruit employees for public works as
well. He stated that the pay ranges vary, and the City competes with organizations and
businesses that may pay higher or have better benefits. He noted that this is a very
different market for hiring. Full-time benefits are important in recruiting good family-
oriented people and benefits help retain them.
Barnhart stated that it is difficult to show the full impact, as costs for benefits range in
price because the premiums are age based. She stated that the salary ranges remain
consistent with the program the City follows, noting that the only yearly impact would be
COLA increases. She provided additional information on the cost for benefits and
PERA.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 10
May 7, 2019
Pederson agreed that this is a challenging market to hire employees. He agreed that
benefits are an important driver and noted that the City’s employee atmosphere is great
for retaining employees.
Barnhart stated that cities are not shy in trying to recruit employees from Medina, but the
employees continue to stay with the City.
Johnson agreed that City Staff have created a great work culture that is appealing to
new employees.
Scherer stated that in the recent interviews, applicants have asked him how he likes
working for Medina. He commented that Medina is a great culture to work in and does
not tend to have the same issues as other municipalities.
Albers stated that after 2021 it appears that there would be a range of between
$136,000 to $223,000 in the budget increase.
Barnhart explained that there is a slow increase to that point and provided additional
details.
Martin thanked staff for the great work and the additional analysis that was done to scale
back the increases in staff.
DesLauriers stated that originally one officer was proposed for 2020 but noted that more
or less officers may be needed based on future analysis. He stated that if officers are
working overtime, that does not solve the long-term issue. He noted that it would be
nice to have more analysis done to determine the cost benefit.
Belland stated that his observation looks at that but is based on 12 hours shifts of three
to four officers for the three different shifts. He stated that there is an impact for those
officers that have rotating shifts. He stated that one additional officer will provide relief
for that issue. He stated that the police department has not added a new position since
2007 and has done a great job of maintaining its staffing level. He stated that he did not
see a need to add two officers in the staffing plan but would continue to review the
needs. He stated that the staffing plan originally called for an officer in 2011, but that
was pushed off because the department did not need that additional officer. He
explained that even with the amount of development that has occurred, the level of crime
has not increased to date.
Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Albers, to approve the 2019 Staffing and
Succession Plan. Motion passed unanimously.
IX. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT (8:53 p.m.)
Johnson stated that the next worksession is scheduled for May 21st and will include a
tour of 600 Clydesdale Trail. He stated that most likely the May 8th park tour will be
rained out and rescheduled to occur on May 15th. He thanked Scherer and his staff for
their great work on Medina Clean-Up Day. He stated that the City received a request for
conduit bonding from Presbyterian Homes in Bloomington.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 11
May 7, 2019
Barnhart stated that she received a call from Kennedy and Graven with another
opportunity to do a conduit bond, this time for a Presbyterian Home project in
Bloomington. She noted that this would be similar to the conduit bond the City did the
previous year. She stated that the City does not have any projects to bond for this year,
and therefore would have this option available. She stated that this opportunity could
provide the City with roughly $65,000.
Pederson asked when will Hackamore be reconstructed.
Johnson noted that project is still a few years out.
Martin confirmed the consensus of the Council to direct staff to continue to move forward
with that request.
X. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (8:58 p.m.)
Pederson provided an update on the Medina Clean-Up Day, which was a lot of fun and
had a great turnout. He stated that he also attended the Loretto Fire pancake breakfast,
which was heavily attended. He noted that he sat with Senator Osmek at the event,
noting that the Senator was not very optimistic that the requested funds would be
received for Highway 55.
Albers stated that he attended the meeting of the Long Lake Waters Association, which
discussed the upcoming carp project and other things that could be done to improve the
water quality. He stated that those projects are interesting, but you must also think
about the long-term effect of the project from a watershed prospective and the financial
contribution that would be needed from the cities.
Martin stated that it was her understanding that the intent of the initial study was to
attract grants to complete that work, which it has done. She stated that she attended the
Interfaith Outreach 40th anniversary dinner the previous weekend, noting that it was a
great event and a nice reminder of how lucky the City is to have that nonprofit
organization in the community. She noted that she and DesLauriers have been
attending the fire meetings, noting that a summary was provided in the packet from
Johnson.
DesLauriers asked if this would be an opportunity to start at .8 percent for the City’s fee
for the conduit bonds because it is earlier in the year and there may be additional
options in 2019. He stated that he liked the dedication of conduit bond funds similar to
2018 to be specifically allocated for future projects/funds (i.e. Celebration Day). He
noted that perhaps a similar option be identified for these funds that will be generated.
He stated that Clean-Up Day was a great event with a great turnout.
Barnhart stated that in her response to Kennedy and Graven she can ask how
negotiable the fee is for the conduit bond.
Batty stated that he does not know the market, but he would think the later in the year,
the stronger position the City would be in because there would be lesser funds available.
He stated that the City obviously wants to get as much as it can in return for providing
the financing but also does not want to price itself out of the market.
