VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Holy Name Lake Estates – Preliminary Plat & Variances – Donavon DesMarais has made
application for a preliminary plat on unaddressed property located northeast of Pinto Drive
north of Holy Name Lake. The site is three unaddressed properties. Two of the properties
are owned by the Brown Lake Partnership and one is owned by Francis Scherer trust. The
subject site is approximately 90 acres in size with about 25 acres being under the ordinary
high water mark of Holy Name Lake. Most of the remaining site is currently farmed. The
applicant proposes to subdivide the three large acreage parcels into six acreage lots. The
3
applicant also requests a variance to extend Pinto Drive to access the site and to terminate
with a cul-de-sac. Existing Pinto Drive exceeds the maximum cul-de-sac length described
in the City’s subdivision ordinance, and extending it would require a variance. Each of the
six proposed acreage parcels range in size from 10-23 acres.
See attached report.
Recommended Motion: Motion to direct staff to prepare resolution of approval subject to
the conditions noted in the staff report.
B. Chippewa Road Extension/Weston Woods EAW – On September 15, 2020, the City
Council authorized the release of the Chippewa Road/Weston Woods Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for agency review and public comment. Completion of the
EAW was required by state rules as a result of the wetland impacts which would be
necessary for the construction of Chippewa Road. The purpose of an EAW is to summarize
the potential environmental impacts of the project, solicit feedback on the project and
potential practices to mitigate impacts, and to ultimately determine whether an additional
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary for additional environmental review.
The comment period extended from September 28-October 28. No public comments were
received. Ten comments were received from governmental agencies.
See attached report.
Recommended Motion # 1: Move to approve the Response to Comments, Findings of Fact,
and Record of Decision
Recommended Motion # 2: Motion to adopt Resolution Approving the Response to
Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision for the Chippewa Road Extension and
Weston Woods EAW and Making a Negative Declaration of Need for an Environmental
Impact Statement
IX. OLD BUSINESS
A. US Home Corp. (Lennar) – Meadowview Commons – Public Hearing Continuation –
On September 15, 2020, the City granted preliminary plat approval to US Home
Corporation (Lennar) for Meadowview Commons. The plat proposed 125 townhome
units and an outlot for future commercial development. The applicant has now
requested final plat approval of the first phase of the project. The plat includes 42
townhomes lots, an outlot for the future commercial development to the south, an outlot
for the private street within the development, and a series of outlots within the common
areas of the development.
The plat included outlots from two separate plats, Fields of Medina and Rolling Green
Business Center. The Rolling Green plat had included drainage and utility easements
over the wetland on the east portion of the site as well as around the perimeter of the
site. The easement along the west side of the Rolling Green outlot would cut through
4
the site and a number of the townhome parcels. The applicant has requested that the
City vacate the existing easements, which will be replaced with appropriately located
easements upon the Meadowview Commons plat.
Staff had originally published notice for the public hearing for the October 20 meeting.
The City Council opened the public hearing on the easement vacation at the October 20
and November 4 meetings and no one spoke at the hearing. The Council then tabled the
hearing to the November 17 meeting.
See attached report.
Recommended Motion # 1: Move to adopt the resolution granting final plat approval for
Meadowview Commons.
Recommended Motion # 2: Move to adopt the resolution vacating drainage and utility
easements within Outlot A, Rolling Green Business Center
Recommended Motion # 3: Approve Development Agreement by and between the City of
Medina and U.S. Home Corporation for Meadowview Commons

Re: WSB 2021 Rate Schedule
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for your continued partnership. This year we celebrated WSB’s 25th year in business.
While it was not the 25th anniversary any of us had hoped for, it did provide us with an opportunity
to reflect on how we got here and where we are headed. In any business there will be disruptive
and unsettled periods, but the uncertainties currently facing our clients, communities, partners, and
businesses are significant. We appreciate you keeping projects moving forward and your efforts to
continue to advance your program. We support you and your goal!
This year has challenged all of us. At WSB, we work to understand the challenges our clients face
and felt obligated to do our part to mitigate them. Like you, we have cut costs and tightened our
belts. We understand our staff must always provide the highest quality services at a reasonable
price, and we know that regardless of our rates, we must always provide the best value to our
clients. Value is a word we focus on daily through our development and use of technology, our
commitment to partnerships, and our quest to improve the product you receive.
Everyone at WSB understands that we must continue to work hard to earn your business, and we
will do that through thoughtful and quality service combined with transparent, straightforward billing.
That will not change. As we move into 2021, we have closely reviewed our operations, and to that
end, we will not increase our rates in 2021 for the City of Medina. This reflects our commitment to
best serve you and your community and considers the uncertainty in the market we all currently
face. Enclosed is our 2021 Rate Schedule that reflects our typical services, unchanged from 2020.
We are proud of our 25-year investment in our clients, staff, work, and the communities that we
serve. Thank you again for the opportunity to partner with you.
Sincerely,
WSB

1 Introduction and Executive Summary
The Matrix Consulting Group was retained by the City of Medina to conduct a
comprehensive fire service study of the City of Medina. The project was focused on the
future fire service needs of the City related to the delivery of services from the four fire
departments currently serving the City.
1 Approaches Utilized in This Project
The principal approaches utilized by the project team in this study included, but were not
limited to, the following:
• Internal Interviews – Members of the project team individually and collectively
interviewed several executives, management, and supervisory staff of Medina,
Fire Department leadership from the four (4) departments and command staff.
• Data Collection – The project team collected a wide variety of external and
internal data documenting the structure, operations, and organization including:
- Department staffing and scheduling
- Documentation reflecting operations management
- Numerous output data reflecting services provided
- Various other performance information
This data was summarized in a ‘descriptive profile’ of the Fire Departments which
was reviewed by the staff of Medina and the Fire Departments.
• Analysis – The project team analyzed the collected data and reviewed interview
notes to provide the basis for the final recommendations.
Throughout the study, the project team reviewed facts, issues, and initial findings with
Medina staff.
2 Executive Summary
The City of Medina receives fire protection services from four fire departments through
contracts with each department. Two of these departments are non -profit corporations
and the other two are municipal departments. Hamel Fire Department is one of the no n-
profit corporations that approached the City about absorbing the fire department and
creating a municipal fire department under the City of Medina’s umbrella. These
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 2
discussions raised several issues for further discussion and at this point the City of
Medina has three options to provide fire protection services.
Option 1 – Continue with Contract Fire Protection
While this option remains viable for the delivery of fire services, the City of Medina is in a
precarious position should one or more of the current fire departments dissolve or decide
not to provide services. The City does not fully own any of the apparatus or stations or
employ any staff to provide fire protection services. The project team does not
recommend continuing this form of fire protection. However, in continuing this form of fire
protection, the City should take steps to protect itself should one or more of the fire
departments terminate their contract or become incapable of providing service. Further,
the City should provide overall management of the fire protection system for the City to
ensure the services are provided in the City’s best interest.
Option 2 – Municipal Fire Department
In this option, the City would absorb the Hamel Fire Department and create a municipal
fire department. This would provide the City of Medina with control of their fire protection
system. Based on the terms of termination within the contracts with Long Lake Fire
Department, Loretto Fire Department, and Maple Plain Fire Department , it will take two
to three years to fully terminate those contracts. This will allow time for the City to fully
implement a new Medina Fire Department. In creating this new department, new
employees would be added to the City of Medina and additional workloads for human
resources, finance and information technology would need to be addressed. The
additional employees would likely create other issues involving the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Other issues for the City could include
increases in workers compensation rates and property casualty insurance rates. These
rate increases would likely be across the board for the City and not just the fire
department. Additionally, the City would need to build a new fire station that is more
centrally located to provide an appropriate level of service to the residents of the City, as
the Hamel Fire Department station is not appropriately located to ensure timely response
times across the City. The project team does not recommend the City absorb the Hamel
Fire Department to create their fire department.
Option 3 – Joint Powers Agreement
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 3
The City of Medina would join forces with the City of Long Lake, the City of Loretto, and
potentially with the City of Orono. The joint powers agreement would establish a fire
district involving the four cities to provide fire protection services and share the cost to
provide those services. Most joint powers agreements provide for the fire district to lease
the existing apparatus and fire stations from the joining jurisdictions. Currently the City of
Medina and the Hamel Fire Department share in the ownership of apparatus used by the
Hamel Fire Department. Hamel Fire Department has previously agreed to transfer these
assets to the City of Medina if a municipal fire department was formed. However, there
may be a need for the City of Medina to invest in additional capital items to provide a
commensurate capital investment The City of Medina would benefit from the investment
into a fire station and apparatus as it would create a level playing ground with the other
jurisdictions. This type of investment will be needed with the creation of a fire district or a
municipal fire department. The gain to the City with the fire district is the sharing of
operational costs, the equal provision of services, and the reduction of the duplication of
equipment. It would allow for the sharing of internal services such as training, fire
prevention and public education to be more efficient and effective. The project team
recommends the City work towards the creation of a fire district with other City partners
and fire departments.
Facility Assessment
The physical facilities vary in condition and renovation suitability. Long Lake and Maple
Plain fire stations are in good condition and have ample space for additions and
renovation projects. The Hamel and Loretto fire stations are not suitable for renovations,
have limited space at their respective sites for expansion and the apparatus bay space is
cramped to point the apparatus does not have appropriate clearance from the walls of the
station. In fact, these two stations should be razed, and a new station built to
accommodate the larger apparatus and provide for appropriate space for training,
meetings and living quarters. There are two bays available in the public works building
that are deep enough to handle four trucks but not conducive to operate as a fire station.
The issues include no parking on the far end of the building, limited access in and out of
that area, and the operations of each of the departments will result in operational con flicts.

Summary of Recommendations
Key Findings
Key Recommendations
While a viable approach for providing fire
protection services in the City, the interest in
forming a fire district between the City and
partner agencies will create a more stable
approach to services.
Absorbing the Hamel Fire Department and
creating a municipal department is a costly
option and would have less efficiencies than
forming a fire district with surrounding
agencies.
There is interest from surrounding
communities in the formation of a fire district
through a Joint Powers Agreement. This
option would provide the most stable and
efficient approach for providing fire protection
services in the City.
The facilities used by the Fire Departments
varied conditional states, ability for
renovations and continued use for
emergency service delivery.
The City of Medina should not pursue the
extension of contracts to provide fire
protection services unless full ownership is
acquired in the capital assets focused on the
services provided to Medina.
The City of Medina should only pursue the
development of a Municipal Fire Department
if there is no interest or pursuit of a fire district
with other surrounding jurisdictions.
The City of Medina should pursue the
development and creation of a fire district
through a joint powers agreement with
surrounding jurisdictions.
The City of Medina should not invest any
further funding to the fire stations in Loretto or
Hamel.
The City of Medina should not integrate a fire
station into the public works facility as the
operations of a fire department and public
works are not complementary and can even
conflict.
The City of Medina should pursue a new fire
station facility at a location that fits the new
fire district model or municipal fire department
model for desired travel time performance.

estimated 1,511 residents. The median age has remained relatively even in the range of
42 years with an increase in the children under age 5 age group. Other age groups have
remained relatively stable.
The following map provides a view of population density by census tract based on 2010
census data.

The areas around Hamel and Loretto are the most densely populated along with a small
area near Lake Independence.
3. Community Development and Growth
In 2018, the City of Medina completed their 2040 Comprehensive Plan that encompasses
many different aspects of the City. The section on residential development indicates there
is a potential capacity of 1,017 additional residential units through 2040. This average s to
approximately 50 new residential units per year which coincides with the average number
of new home building permits of approximately 40 per year. The Metropolitan Council
estimates the growth in the City of Medina will be at half the rate of growth f rom 2000 –
2020. The following chart illustrates the past population growth and contains the
projections through 2040.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 8
The population growth from 1990 to 2010 averaged 2.6% per year that also coincides
with the building permits issued. The City of Medina has a considerable amount of wetland
area that limits the growth. Based on the anticipated reduced growth rate, the City of
Medina will have approximately 8,900 residents by 2040. Commercial and retail growth
is expected to be light and predominately in the northeast quadrant of the City.
4. Fire Protection System
The City provides fire suppression using contracted service providers; there are four
providers for the City:
• Hamel Fire Department
• Loretto Fire Department
• Long Lake Fire Department
• Maple Plain Fire Department
This results in no employees for the City that are directly involved in the operations of a
fire department. Each of the fire departments have a section of the City to provide services
designed to achieve a 10-minute travel time service level, according to national and state
standards.
The Hamel Fire Department is the only provider that has a station located in the City of
Medina. Loretto Fire Department is located in the City of Loretto which is surrounded by
the City of Medina. Maple Plain and Long Lake are located just outside the City limits as
illustrated in the following map.

Hamel is the only fire department that does not have contracts with other cities, they
provide service to a larger area than the other departments. Maple Plain did not report
their 2017 calls in the City.
The following map illustrates the call for service demand using GIS technology to outline
where many of the calls are occurring.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 12
As expected, the higher call density is along the eastern section of the City that coincides
with the heavier population density in that area.
2 Financial Resources
The City of Medina receives approximately 73% of its financial resources from assessed
property taxes. Other resources include licenses and permits, intergovernmental
revenues, and transfers from other funds such as water, sewer, and storm water.
Through the contracts with the fire departments the City provides operational funds and
capital improvement funds. The amount for each of the contracted fire departments is
based on the market value of the taxable properties in the service area and the number
of calls for service as measured by the number of personnel hours expended. The table
that follows illustrates the operational costs for each of the contracts for the past three
years.
Medina Operational Fire Protection Expenditures
2017 2018 2019
Hamel Fire Department $221,000 $238,000 $257,500
Loretto Fire Department $86,393 $88,985 $75,506
Maple Plain Fire Department $5,667 $5,837 $6,012
Long Lake Fire Department $26,111 $26,894 $23,165
Total $339,171 $359,716 $362,183
It is important to note, the previous table illustrates the contractual expenditures by the
City of Medina. Each Fire Department will have differing income and expenditures due to
other contracts and other fund-raising activities to support any additional costs to operate
their department. Hamel Fire Department provides service to the largest section of the
City, with Loretto Fire Department covering the second largest area. The operational
costs have increased approximately 6.8% over the past three years.
Three of the four departments are allocated funds to be used for capital improvements
for equipment or facilities. The following table illustrates the capital improvement funds
for the past three years.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 13
Medina Capital Improvement Expenditures
2017 2018 2019
Hamel Fire Department $73,000 $73,000 $73,000
Loretto Fire Department $21,315 $21,000 $18,877
Maple Plain Fire Department $0 $0 $0
Long Lake Fire Department $6,000 $6,000 $6,000
Total $100,315 $100,000 $97,877
As shown capital improvement expenditures have remained relatively constant at
approximately $100,000 per year. The contract with Hamel allows the City to acquire
ownership in the capital investments made in the apparatus purchased with these funds.
For perspective, the following table illustrates the total cost for fire protection services for
the City.
City of Medina Total Fire Protection Expenditures
2017 2018 2019
Hamel Fire Department $294,000 $311,000 $330,500
Loretto Fire Department $107,708 $109,985 $94,383
Maple Plain Fire Department $5,667 $5,837 $6,012
Long Lake Fire Department $32,111 $32,894 $29,165
Total $439,486 $459,716 $460,060
It should be noted, with the exception of Hamel Fire Department, the service providers
also have contracts with other cities in the immediate area and receive funds from those
entities as well.
3 Fire Prevention
Fire safety and building inspections are handled in the City through a contracted service.
By contract, all commercial and multi-family properties receive a fire safety inspection
every three years. In addition, large commercial horse barns are included in the inspection
process. These facilities are typically 30,000 to 40,000 square feet in size. The contractor
reports there are approximately 100 properties to be inspected and noted that growth has
been steady for past few years.

3 Fire Rescue Services
The City of Medina provides fire protection services through contracts with four different
fire departments. This chapter provides an overview of the fire protection system including
the resources available to the City and a historical review of the workload of the Fire
Departments.
1 Hamel Fire Department
Hamel Fire Department provides service to the east and northeast areas of the City of
Medina with an estimated population of 5,371 and approximately 1,854 households.
1. Organization of the Fire Protection System
The Hamel Fire Department (HFD) was formed in 1928 and formally incorporated in 1932.
In the early years equipment for firefighting operations included a bucket brigade using
three-gallon cans to a four-wheeled trailer with a water pump. The first motorized
apparatus acquired was a 1931 Model A, that was used for firefighting operations. The
fire station was built in 1966 with an addition in 1986. Incorporated as a non-profit
corporation, the department is governed by a Board of Directors. The Fire Chief reports
to the Board of Directors of the Hamel Fire Department.
Today the HFD operates from the same station with a variety of apparatus, equipment,
and a volunteer staff. The organization chart that follows illustrates the current Fire
Department organization.

Medina with an estimated population of 675 and approximately 233 households.
1. Organization of the Fire Protection System
The Long Lake Fire Department (LLFD) was initially formed in 1915 with buckets, wooden
ladders, and a two-wheel chemical cart. The first motorized truck was a 1921 Ford Model
T with advancements in the apparatus over the years with the first fire station built in 1942.
In 2002, the Cities of Long Lake, Medina, and Orono entered a long -term agreement with
Long Lake to provide emergency services. Today, the LLFD operates from two fire
stations with a paid-on-call staffing model. In 2008, a full time Fire Chief position was
added to manage the Fire Department. As a municipal department, the Fire Chief reports
to the City Administrator of the City of Long Lake.
The organization chart that follows illustrates the current Fire Department organization.

4 Emergency Service System Dynamics
In making decisions about the emergency services system, it is important to understand
the science behind the location of resources, the deployment strategies of those
resources and other factors necessary to form an effective emergency services system.
For many years, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) had set the standard for deployment
through their Public Protection Classification system. This system was designed to
provide insurers a basis for setting insurance rates and to limit their exposure to lar ge
losses and catastrophic events. While these efforts provided a good starting point, there
is much more for the leadership to know while making decisions about the emergency
services in Medina.
Nationally, a great deal of effort and research has been put into developing performance
objectives for the delivery of fire and emergency medical services. This effort is critical for
local governments making decisions about deployment and location of emergency
resources. The objectives promoted for Fire/Rescue and EMS providers have their basis
derived from research that has been conducted in these two critical issues:
• What is the key point in a fire’s “life” for gaining control of the blaze while minimizing
the impact on the structure of origin and on those structures around it?
• What is the impact of the passage of time on survivability for victims of cardiac
arrest?
1 Emergency Medical Services
Emergency medical services (EMS) are a significant part of the emergency services
system. Not only are these types of calls rising but they are also wide ranging in terms of
the types of service calls. Emergency medical response systems must account for this
variability and ensure appropriate care is provided in a timely manner. In Medina , the fire
departments provide first responder services while the transport of patients is handled by
a third-party organization.
From a scientific position, the American Heart Association states that brain and
permanent death starts to occur in 4 to 6 minutes following cardiac arrest. Trauma events
are also at the forefront of time sensitive response. In 2015, a national awareness
program was launched called “Stop the Bleed”. This program is based on a person that
is bleeding profusely could die within five minutes without intervention.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 37
For perspective, the following chart illustrates the survivability of cardiac patients related
to the time onset:
The graph illustrates the chances of survival of sudden cardiac arrest diminish
approximately 10% for each minute that passes before the initiation of CPR and/or
defibrillation. These dynamics are the result of extensive studies of the survivability of
patients suffering from cardiac arrest.
While the demand for services in EMS is wide ranging, the survival rat es for full arrests
are often utilized as benchmarks for response time standards as they are more readily
evaluated because of the ease in defining patient outcomes (a patient either survives or
does not). This research results in the recommended objective of provision of basic life
support within 4-minutes of notification and the provision of advanced life support within
8 minutes of notification.
Considering the response time continuum, the response time goal for emergency services
is to provide BLS within 6 minutes of the onset of the incident (including detection,
dispatch, and travel time) and ALS within 10 minutes. This is often used as the foundation
for a two-tier system where fire or other resources function as first responders with
additional (ALS) assistance provided by responding ambulance units and personnel.
2 Fire Suppression Services
The goal of fire suppression systems is to save lives and minimize property damage.

fire is dependent on many factors including fuel loads, the types of materials, and the
area involved to name a few items. There is one point, “flashover”, that is identifiable and
serves as a benchmark for the response of resources.
The following chart illustrates the traditional “flashover” curve for interior structure fires.
The point in time represented by the occurrence of “flashover” is critical because it defines
when all the contents of a room become involved in the fire. Once this occurs, the space
becomes untenable for firefighters and un -survivable for any occupants. With the rapid
expansion of the fire, there is additional risk to other areas of the structure and potentially
to any structures or wildland areas surrounding the original location of the fire.
Note that this illustration depicts a fire from the moment of inception – not from the
moment that a fire is detected or reported. This demonstrates the importance of early
detection and fast reporting as well as rapid dispatch of responding units. This also shows
the critical need for a rapid (and sufficiently staffed) initial response – by quickly initiating
the attack on a fire, “flashover” can be averted.
It should be noted that not every fire will reach flashover – and that not every fire will “wait”
for the 8-minute mark to reach flashover. In fact, research conducted in 2010 by the
Underwriter Laboratories determined the increased use of synthetic materials in the home
has created faster flashover times to le ss than 4 minutes in some of their tests. Modern
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 39
home furnishings made of foam, plastics, or other petroleum -based products have
increased the available fuel load for a fire. Additionally, construction techniques and
components have increased the efficiency of our homes but has added a new dimension
to fire growth.
3 National Response Time Criteria
The expression of response time has changed. In years past , the measurement was
expressed as an average of time. This essentially represents how the system or
department is performing 50% of the time and is not a true reflection of how a department
is performing. With the research that has been performed in develo ping performance
standards and practices the use of fractal time has become the best practice in the
measurement and presentation of response time components. Fractal response time
measures how often (as a percent of calls) a department can perform within each
response time component. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the
Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) use the 90th percentile as the standard to
meet for benchmark and baseline criteria. Benchmark measurements are described as
the industry best practice. Baseline measurements are described as the actual
performance of the organization.
Response time to an emergency or call for assistance has been broken down into
measurable and non-measurable segments. The response time continuum begins when
the state of normalcy changes to a recognizable emergency. The cascade of events that
occurs once an emergency starts or is recognized is illustrated in the following chart.
Those highlighted points represent hard data or that which is quantitative versus soft data
or that which is subjective and unknown.

The highlighted points in the chart above represent three segments that can be used for
evaluation: call processing, turnout time, and travel time. Each of these components
represent a different point in the response time continuum and through their
measurement, evaluation areas for improvement can be identified. Below are the
definitions for the three components:
• Call Processing is defined as beginning when the call taker answers the call and
ends with the dispatching of appropriate emergency services.
• Turnout Time is defined as beginning when the emergency service receives the
call and is on the apparatus responding (wheels rolling) to the call.
• Travel Time is defined as beginning when the apparatus and personnel begin the
response (wheels rolling) and ends once on location of the emergency (wheels
stopped).
There are four nationally recognized models used to measure performance of the fire
protection system and each have their own set of performance measurements based on
different aspects of the community served.
• NFPA 1710 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 41
Career Fire Departments last published in 2020.
• NFPA 1720 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by
Volunteer Fire Departments last published in 2020.
• Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) Fire and Emergency Service Self -
Assessment Manual last published in 2015 and Community Risk Assessment and
Standard of Cover last published in 2016.
• Insurance Services Office (ISO) updated their Fire Suppression Rating Schedule in
2012 to allow the systematic performance evaluation of responses for their distribution
and concentration ratings.
To further define response time components there are benchmark performance and
baseline performance. Benchmark performance are those values or standards that
represent superior performance or best practice. These are also defined as goals to which
an organization strives to meet. Baseline performance are those values or standards that
represent actual performance based on past data and history. In terms of response time,
the baseline performance is generally based on three to five years of data.
4 Community Standards
As noted previously there are four nationally recognized models to use to design and
improve a fire protection system in our communities. Each model is based on different
aspects of a community from population density, the type of fire department and the r oad
miles in the area.
The applicability for the NFPA models is based on the definitions of the fire department
servicing the community.
NFPA 1710 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations and Special Operations to the Public by
Career Fire Departments was last published in 2020.
• Defines a career fire department as one that utilizes full -time or full-time equivalent
(FTE) station-based personnel immediately available to comprise at least 50 percent
of an initial full alarm assignment.
NFPA 1720 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression
Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by
Volunteer Fire Departments was last published in 2020.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 42
• Defines a combination fire department as one having emergency service
personnel comprising less than 85 percent majority of either volunteer or career
membership.
• Defines a volunteer fire department as one having volunteer emergency service
personnel comprising 85 percent or greater of its department membership.
• Defines four demographic components based on population density as urban,
suburban, rural, and remote.
ISO continues to use their standard 1.5-mile and 2.5-mile criteria for engine company and
ladder company placement. Although they now accept a systematic performance
evaluation that demonstrates the department can meet the time constraints outlined in
NFPA 1710.
Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) had previously defined benchmar k and
baseline response times for each of the three components. They have since determined
they are not a standard making organization and decided to leave the establishment of
benchmark performance standards to others. However, their body of work is signi ficant
and has been and continues to be used by numerous communities across the country.
Their performance objectives were based on population density demographics.
By definition, NFPA 1720 is the applicable fire protection model for the City of Medina.
Additionally, ISO and the CPSE provide additional performance objectives for the City in
the delivery of fire protection services. While NFPA 1710 does not apply to the City of
Medina, Appendix A contained in that document provides supplementary information and
background as it pertains to service delivery objectives for the City as follows:
“There can be incidents or areas where the response criteria are affected by
circumstances such as response personnel who are not on duty, unstaffed fire
station facilities, natural barriers, traffic congestion, insufficient water supply, and
density of population or property. The reduced level of service should be
documented in the written organizational statement by the percentage of incidents
and geographical areas for which the total response time criteria are achieved.
Additional service delivery performance objectives should be established by the
AHJ for occupancies other than those identified within the standard for benchmark
single-family dwellings. Factors to be considered include specific response areas
(i.e., suburban, rural, and wilderness) and occupancy hazards.”
This passage acknowledges the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), in this case the City
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 43
of Medina, is responsible for determining the level of service to be provided by its fire
services. Considerations for the level of service include, but are not limited to, the manner
in which the fire department responds, travel time, staffing, emergency calls versus non -
emergency calls, roadways, financial resources, and those calls involving different
occupancies. The levels of service provided to the City should be written and documented
so the residents of the City know and understand the expectations of the fire protection
system.
Recommendation: The City should adopt an organizational statement for the fire
protection system that outlines response time expectations, staffing, response
capabilities and to provide guidance for any future expansion of the fire protection
system.
5 Distribution of Resources
Distribution of resources is the measure of getting initial resources to an emergency to
begin mitigation efforts. This is measured in a variety of way s including percentage of
square miles, percentage of road miles and travel time. The Insurance Services Office
(ISO) has used road miles for many years advocating one and a half miles for an engine
company and two and a half miles for a ladder company. Wi th the advent of GIS
technology and improved computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems, the use of actual
travel time is another more accurate measure for the distribution of resources.
1. Travel Time Performance Standards
Travel time is a measurable time segment that begins when the apparatus and personnel
begin the response (wheels rolling) and ends once on location of the emergency (wheels
stopped). It is the most appropriate measurement available for the distribution of
resources that has a proven record of success. However, as illustrated in the following
table, NFPA 1720 does not address travel time for the first arriving unit. In fact , NFPA
1720 does not address travel time for any responses by the fire department.

2. Fire Protection System Performance
The computer aided dispatch (CAD) data for the fire departments in the City of Medina
was limited. In October 2018, the dispatch center changed to a new CAD system and the
old data was archived. This archive process caused some of the older data to be
unusable. The data used in this analysis is from October 2018 through June 15, 2020.
The following table illustrates the travel time for the City of Medina and for each fire
department individually as compared to the CPSE performance benchmark for the rural
demographic.

*Statistically these travel times use a small data set and therefore should be viewed with a
certain amount of skepticism.
As illustrated, the travel time performance in the City of Medina is well below the nationally
recognized performance objective of 10 minutes for rural areas. This indicates the current
distribution of the resources (placement of stations) works well for the City. It must also
be noted the number of calls evaluated. Statistically small numbers may provide
erroneous results and should be viewed with some deliberation.
For a visual perspective, the following map illustrates a 10-minute travel time from all the
stations that provides service to the City.

This table shows the total response time from the time of dispatch to the arrival time.
There is no turnout time component for the unstaffed (volunteer) apparatus as the
personnel must first respond to the station. These times represent more of what the
residents experience as it relates to the total response time from when they make the call
to report a need for emergency services.
6 Concentration of Resources
Concentration of resources is generally described as the ability of the fire protection
system to get the appropriate number of personnel and resources to the scene of an
emergency within a prescribed time to effectively mitigate the incident. There are two
parts to this component – the first is providing an effective response force and the second
is the amount of time to get those resources in place.
1. Performance Standards
As noted, there are two segments to concentration of resources, the first segm ent uses
travel time and the second segment involves the number of personnel. Again, these two
segments represent the most appropriate measurement available for the concentration
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 48
of resources and these measurements have a proven record of success nationally. The
next table illustrates the travel time for the first alarm assignment.

NFPA 1720 addresses the first alarm assignment by demographic and the stated time is
measured from the time of dispatch to arrival at the scene. Additionally, NFPA 1720 has
a performance objective for suburban and rural of 80% and not 90% of the time. Which
differs from ISO, CPSE, and NFPA 1710.
As mentioned previously, the second part of the concentration of resources arrival time
concerns the number of personnel arriving with the first alarm assignment. The following
table summarizes NFPA, ISO, and CPSE standards for the number of personnel arriving
for a first alarm assignment for a single-family dwelling.

As illustrated, ISO does not specify the number of personnel that is expected or
anticipated to arrive and instead provides points for the personnel - meaning the more
on-duty personnel the more points are added to the overall evaluation. In comparison,
NFPA 1720 addresses the number of personnel based on the demographics with less
personnel in rural areas than urban or suburban. NFPA 1710 and CPSE base their
personnel requirements on creating an effective response force using critical tasking.
2. Effective Response Force
There are several tasks, which must occur simultaneously to adequately combat different
types of fires. The absence of adequate personnel to perform these tasks requires each
task to be prioritized and completed in chronological order. These fire ground tasks
include command, scene safety, search and rescue, water supply, fire attack, pump
operations, ventilation, back up and rapid intervention.
An initial full alarm assignment should be able to provide personnel to accomplish the
following tasks:
• Establish incident command outside of the hazard area. This will allow coordination
and direction of the incoming emergency response personnel and apparatus. A
minimum of one person should be dedicated to this task.
• Establish an uninterrupted water supply of at least 400 gallons per minute for 30
minutes. Once established the supply line can be maintained by the pump operator to
ensure uninterrupted water supply. A minimum of one person is assigned to this task
that can then assume a support role.
• Establish an effective water flow rate of 300 gallons per minute. This will be supplied
to a minimum of two hand lines each operating at a minimum flow of 100 gallons per
minute. Each hand line must have two individuals assigned with one serving as the
attack line and the other as a back-up line.
• Provision of one support person to handle the hydrant hookup, utility control, forcible
entry and assist in deploying fire hose lines.
• Establish a search and rescue team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two.
• Establish a ventilation team. Each team will consist of a minimum of two personnel.
• Establish an initial rapid intervention team (RIT). Each RIT team shall consist of a
minimum of two properly trained and equipped personnel.
Critical tasking will vary depending on the size and nature of the incident. The Center for
Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) provides a suggestive list of tasks that need to be
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 50
completed at a fire situation based on the risk. A similar list is provided within the NFPA
1710 document. The CPSE analysis, from the 8th edition, is summarized in Table 30 and
shows the minimum required personnel to mitigate the initial emergency response
requirements by occupancy risk.

It should be noted that the four-person companies discussed in some areas of NFPA
1710 are not maintained in the description of primary tasks to be acc omplished on the fire
ground – recognition that the requirements of the response in the field are dynamic and
do not fit neatly into size and shape of any particular response configuration. These
objectives apply to the initial and follow-up response for reported structure fires and does
not suggest that this response is required for all fire incidents.
It is incumbent upon the fire department to have a response plan in place to ensure
enough personnel are on scene to accomplish the stated critical tasks in a timely fashion.
Structure fires are very labor-intensive incidents with any number of factors, su ch as
weather, making the task that much more difficult.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 51
Adding to the critical tasks and staffing issues is the OSHA requirement of “two in/two
out” in 29 CFR 1910.134(g)(4). This federal regulation states that if entry into an
“Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health” (IDLH) atmosphere is necessary, two
firefighters must enter together and remain in contact with each other while in the IDLH
atmosphere. In addition, there must be two firefighters located outside the IDLH
atmosphere for potential rescue if the situation arises. This is a mandatory federal
requirement.
The concept of an effective response force carries through for other responses by the fire
department. Tables 31 to 33 outline the critical tasks for an effective response force.

3. Fire Protection System Performance
As previously noted, the CAD data is limited due to the change in the system and the
archived data. The data that is available contained three calls for service that involved a
structure fire. This is not enough data to provide a substantive analysis.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 53
5 Existing Fire Protection System
This chapter presents the project team’s analysis for the City of Medina to retain the
contractual services for fire protection.
1 Key Issues
The current process of providing fire protection services to the residents of the City of
Medina is through contracts with various fire departments. This leaves the City in a
somewhat precarious position due to various events that could occur that are outside their
control, as noted below:
• The dissolution of a non-profit contract fire department.
• A board of directors or city council for a contract fire department deciding not to
renew a contract with the City of Medina or to terminate the current contract.
• No local control of the management or delivery of the fire services
For the City of Medina to continue using the contract form of providing fire protection
services, there needs to be changes made to protect the City from being with out a fire
protection service.
2 Fire Department Dissolution
A vulnerability to the City of Medina and the provision fire protection to the residents is
the dissolution of a contract fire department. Two of the four fire departments are non-
profit organizations that rely on volunteer members to provide the service outlined in the
contract. The other two fire departments are municipal departments that provide services
through contracts with the City of Medina.
1. Personnel
The current fire departments have expressed concerns over the recruitment and retention
of volunteer members for their respective organizations. This issue is not a local or
regional issue, it is a national issue within the fire service. For example:
• In Pennsylvania, there were approximately 300,000 volunteer firefighters in the
1970s and in the early 2000s there were approximately 60,000 volunteer
firefighters. In 2018 that number of volunteer firefighters dropped to an estimated
38,000.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 54
• In Wisconsin, the Woodland Fire Rescue in Dodge County, which has been in
operation for nearly 150 years, will discontinue service effective December 31,
2020 due to dwindling volunteer personnel. This department has 14 members with
8 members regularly responding to calls.
Minnesota reports there are approximately 20,000 firefighters in the state with 18,000
being volunteer firefighters. It is also reported the number of firefighters in the state is
down approximately 700 people in the past five years.
Conclusions on Fire Personnel Risks
With the dwindling of volunteer firefighters, the fire departments may need to utilize paid
personnel or dissolve due to a lack of personnel or necessary funding to provide paid
personnel. The additional funding will need to come from the contracts with increased
cost passed on to the City of Medina.
2. Capital Assets
Dissolution of a fire department also impacts the capital assets and the City of Medina.
Three contracts have provisions for the City to contribute to the capital i mprovements of
the fire departments and all three have differing rates of contribution. In addition, each
have differing mechanisms for ownership of the assets. The Maple Plain contract has no
provisions for capital assets and no provisions for the City of Medina to contribute funds
to the capital assets.
The Loretto Fire Department contract outlines the capital improvement funding is a part
of the budget that is submitted to the contracting cities. There is no provision for the
allocation of ownership of any capital assets should the fire department dissolve or fail to
sign a contract with the City of Medina. In fact, there are no provisions in the contract in
the event of a dissolution for any of the contracting cities that are a party to the contract.
In the past three years the City of Medina has provided an average of $20,397 per year
for capital improvement funds.
The Long Lake Fire Department contract provides a process to develop and fund capital
improvements for the department through the contracting cities as follows:
• The City of Long Lake will have the option of funding any percentage of the total,
which is equal to or greater than the average of its last three City Budget
Percentages including the current calendar year.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 55
• The City of Orono will have the option of funding the remaining amount. If Orono
does not wish to fund the total of the remaining amount, it must fund at least the
average of its last three City Budget Percentages including the current calendar
year and may fund more if it chooses.
• Medina will fund the balance remaining to be funded after Long Lake and Orono
have specified their funding amounts.
The contract outlines the disposition of major equipment with the City of Long Lake having
the first right to purchase the equipment. If the City of Long Lake does not exercise their
right to purchase, the City with the largest ownership share will have th e right to acquire
full title. With the limited funding the City of Medina has provided, it is likely the equity is
limited as well.
Funding for capital improvements for the Hamel Fire Department are contained in its
contract with the City of Medina. The funding follows the same budget process as the
operating budget and requires approval from the City. The difference with this contract
and the others is that Hamel only contracts with the City of Medina. There is a table in the
contract that specifically identifies the ownership shares between the two parties of the
contract and is updated annually. As well, Hamel Fire Department has the first right to
purchase the City of Medina’s share in any of the assets co -owned as listed. Following
the refusal of Hamel Fire Department to purchase the City’s share, the City of Medina
could exercise their right to purchase the Fire Department’s share. In the past three years
the City of Medina has averaged $73,000 per year for contributions to the capital
improvements.
While the contract with the Hamel Fire Department does provide some ownership shares
of the apparatus it would still require the City to purchase the remaining ownership shares
from the fire department to fully acquire ownership. None of the contracts provide
ownership shares for any of the fire stations. The key issue is in the event of the
dissolution of one of the fire departments, service delivery would be impacted and the
City would not have the ability to quickly establish a fire protection service fo r the area
served by that agency, including the ability to house any apparatus and equipment.
The following table illustrates the ownership equity in the apparatus and other equipment
as of May 2020.

As illustrated above, the City of Medina has varied levels of ownership in apparatus and
equipment in the Hamel Fire Department but would still have a significant expense to fully
acquire full ownership in these assets.
2 Contract Termination
Each contract has a termination clause that provides for a period of time prior to the
compete termination. The terms of these clauses vary with each contract as shown in the
following table.

Conclusions on Contract Risks
For most situations, the termination of a contract provides a considerable time frame to
address the fire protection needs of the City. However, should Loretto Fire Department
and the Hamel Fire Department provide a simultaneous 90-day notice, the City could be
in a position to lose its fire protection system in the northern half of the City rather quickly.
While this scenario is not likely to occur, it does highlight a vulnerability to the fire
protection system.
3 Fire Services Management
Each fire department presents their operating budget and their capital improvement
requests to the City annually. At the appropriate time the City meets with the individual
department and determines the amount of funding to be provided based on the contract.
Once the budgets are approved, the contract fire departments are able to spend the funds
according to their budgets without any further oversight from the City.
The State Auditor provided a Statement of Position in December 2018 that states in part
“Independent nonprofit firefighting corporations are separate corporations and usually are
authorized to control their own financial accounts. In these fire departments, the nonprofit
corporation generally issues paychecks and corresponding tax statements to its
firefighters and handles the hiring and discipline of firefighters. The nonprofit corpo ration
funds the fire department by charging for fire services through its contracts with cities and
towns.”
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 58
In terms of operations, each fire department is free to establish their own policies,
procedures, and response protocols for their department and r esponse area. The City
has no oversight to ensure the services provided are equal throughout the City. In fact,
the Hamel Fire Department contract is the only one that specifies the response time, the
number of personnel to respond, and other functions of the department.
Conclusions on Fire Services Management
With four fire departments providing service to the City of Medina, these is no overall
management of the fire protection system in the City. There is no coordination as to the
funding requests for equipment that may be duplicated or to maintain operations that
provide the same level of service within the City. Essentially there is no one looking out
for the best interests for the City of Medina.
Recommendation:
The City of Medina should not pursue the extension of contracts to provide fire
protection services unless full ownership is acquired in the capital assets focused
on the services provided to Medina.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 59
6 Municipal Fire Department
This chapter presents the project team’s analysis of the City of Medina creating a
municipal Fire Department. Three of the four fire departments are a party to contracts
outside the City of Medina, this chapter focuses on the City converting the Hamel Fire
Department to a municipal fire department.
1 Key Issues and Assumptions
There is an overall lack of centralized management of the fire protection system in the
City of Medina.
• The Police Chief serves as the liaison to the Departments for management and
other issues needed to ensure appropriate services are provided.
• The City contracts with four fire departments and provides them with financial
support. The resources to provide the service is left to the individual departments
to decide.
Other issues include the use of volunteer staffing. Hamel reports that 65% of their
volunteer staff do not reside in Medina primarily due to the lack of starter homes and
rental property.
There are two ways to address the issue, first creating a municipa l fire department and
second to create a fire district with numerous partners. This chapter examines the
municipal fire department and the next chapter will examine the creation of a fire district.
In as much as three of the four fire departments are party to contracts outside the City of
Medina, a significant assumption in this assessment is the City converting the Hamel Fire
Department to a municipal fire department. This assumption also coincides with the
previous discussions related to the Hamel Fire Department request to become a
municipal fire department.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 60
Planning Elements and Assumption
Element Assumption
Management/Administration
The Chief of the Fire Department would report directly to the
Medina City Administrator under the overall policy direction of the
Medina City Council
Current Contracts
Due to the termination clause in the current contracts, they will
likely need to continue through their scheduled term. Variously,
terminations are between 2021 and 2023.
Staffing and Compensation
The Fire Department would remain as a volunteer organization.
Any compensation would be in the form of a stipend as permitted
by FLSA regulations.
Operating Expenses
Using previous budgeted amounts from the contracts and normally
expected increases.
Physical Facilities
A more centralized fire station will be needed as the contracts with
other departments either expire or are terminated.
Apparatus and Major
Equipment
Through the contract with Hamel Fire Department, the City has an
ownership share on all or part of the necessary apparatus and
equipment
Impact on Support Services in
other City Departments
There will be an increased workload impact on City support
departments, including human resources, legal and risk
management, finance, fleet, etc. requiring support personnel to
handle these duties or added personnel to the City departments to
support the fire department.
2 Organization Overview
A first step to the formation of a municipal fire department is to establish the department
as a part of the city similar to Chapter 2 Section 205 that establishes the police
department. Similar duties and requirements should be established for the fire department
as outlined in the police department section. However, the current fire protection system
uses four fire departments to provide services with each department having a contract
with the City of Medina. Each of these contracts contain similar language in t erms of
financial support and service expectations. Differences include the expiration dates and
clauses for termination, as illustrated in the previous chapter. The contract with Long Lake
does provide for a termination or renegotiation to enable the participation in a fire district
or similar organizational arrangement.
Terminating the contracts could be an obstacle in the establishment of the municipal fire
department. The Hamel Fire Department contract may not be an obstacle as they
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 61
represent the fire department to be converted to the new municipal department. In
addition, it was their request to be transitioned to a municipal fire department.
The contracts with Long Lake Fire Department, Loretto Fire Department and Maple Plain
Fire Department would likely need to be terminated in accordance with the terms of the
respective contract. In this instance, the new municipal fire department would not
necessarily provide service to the entire City until these contracts are finally terminated.
The following organizational chart illustrates the recommended organization for the
municipal fire department. Changes to meet the needs of the department can be made
depending on the direction and authority the department is permitted. For example,
recruitment and retention is typically a human resources function but could be assigned
to the fire department in which case a recruitment position may be warranted.

The department would remain as a volunteer department but with a smaller footprint in
terms of positions. With a municipal fire department there would not be a need for financial
management and purchasing positions as Hamel Fire Department has outlined. Policies
and procedures would also become a City function.
3 Physical Resources
The contract with Hamel Fire Department has a section for capital expenditures, the
funding of those expenditures and the allocation of ownership based on the funding from
each of the parties to the contract. The table that follows outlines the asset allocation

The contract provides for the disposition of the assets based on the ownership with those
assets that have 100% ownership of a single party to acquire the title or other receipt
indicating ownership of the apparatus and equipment. For those items that have shared
ownership, each party have the right to purchase the rights from the other party. However,
Hamel Fire Department has offered to allow the transfer of assets for certain non -
monetary considerations. Negotiations between the City and Hamel Fire Department may
allow the assets to be transferred to the City.
The Hamel fire station is not included in the asset allocation table. This building will require
a considerable amount of renovation to continue its use as a fire station. However, in
terms of providing service to the City, it is not in a good location based on the travel time
component of the response time continuum. Although a large number of calls for service
occur in the northeast section of the City. The following map illustrates the 10-minute
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 64
travel time performance benchmark with a station located at or near the current Medina
City Hall.
In order for the level of service to remain the same, a new station will be required that is
more centrally located to meet the ten-minute travel time performance objective. To keep
costs at a minimum, property around the current City Office may be sufficient to construct
a new station. A new single-story fire station is estimated to cost between $2.6M and
$5.0M. This is based on a cost per square foot of approximately $128 and a 20,000
square foot building. This would allow for future expansion, office space, and potential
living quarters.
Within the fire service industry, the use of mutual aid and automatic aid is a common
element. Most jurisdictions are capable of handling the daily types of calls but need
assistance with larger more complex incidents. Mutual aid is typically defined as
assistance that is requested by the responding fire department. The fire department
responds and realizes additional resources are needed and calls for those resources from
a neighboring department. Many mutual aid agreements are handled on a county wide
basis in which all fire agencies become a signatory. Automatic aid is typically defined as
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 65
assistance that is automatically dispatched as a part of the original incident. The use of
automatic aid provides several advantages as the closest station will be dispatched,
avoids the duplication of resources, and provides the appropriate amount of pers onnel
for the type of call. These type of arrangements are typically handled between two
departments rather than as a county wide agreement. One of the potential issues with
automatic aid is that one department becomes the primary respondent in the neighbo ring
jurisdiction and an inequity in providing services versus receiving them exists.
A new municipal fire department will need to establish the agreements necessary with
neighboring departments for mutual or automatic aid as needed. Long Lake, Loretto, and
Maple Plain would certainly play a role in these agreements. Plymouth would also be a
potential partner for mutual aid.
4 Human Resources
The City would need to develop job descriptions and qualifications for every position in
the fire department. The process to hire and promote will also need to be developed and
implemented prior to converting the existing Hamel Fire Department into a City
department. Even though the fire department is being staffed with volunteer members,
there may be a need for a pay scale to be implemented to include stipends.
Within the current City organization, the human resources function is handled by the
Assistant City Administrator who also has other duties including city elections, data
practices, IT/communications and is the City Clerk. To handle the needs of the fire
department, including the hiring and promotion processes, payroll administration and
other human resource needs of the department, the City would likely need a part-time
human resources assistant.
Additional considerations that will impact the City of Medina include the provisions of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). For the ACA, once
the City has 50 employees the ACA requires the employer to begin tracking hours and
conducting look back periods. Once an employee reaches an average of 30 or more hours
per week, the City will need to provide health insurance. While the volunteer firefighters
may not meet the 30-hour requirement, the ACA does require the City to track and
evaluate the hours on a regular basis adding additional responsibilities to the human
resources function.
The additional employees would also trigger the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and
the City of Medina would be required to offer this additional benefit. For FMLA (Family
Medical Leave Act), employees are eligible to take FMLA if the following criteria is met:
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 66
• If the employee is employed for at least 12 months by the city
• If the employee is employed for at least 1,250 hours of services with city during the
previous 12-month period
• If the employee is employed at a site where the employer employs 50 or more
employees within 75 miles of the employee’s worksite at the time of the leave request.
Much like the ACA, there are requirements for tracking and evaluating the eligibility, leave
that is used and the reporting requirement s. As well, this will add to the workload of the
human resources function.
5 Financial Resources
The City of Medina provides its residents fire protection through contracted services with
four fire departments that it also supports with financial resources. Each of these contracts
have termination clauses that have different termination notice time frames.
• Long Lake Fire Department has a without cause termination notice of 2 years.
Assuming notice would be given on January 1, 2021, the contract would then be
terminated on December 31, 2022.
• Loretto Fire Department has a without cause termination notice of 1 year. Assuming
notice would be given on January 1, 2021, the contract would then be terminated on
December 31, 2021.
• Maple Plain Fire Department contract may be terminated with a minimum six-month
notice and the termination effective on January 1 of the following year from the time
the notice is given. Assuming the notice provided would be given on January 1, 2021,
the contract would then be terminated on January 1 , 2022.
• The Hamel Fire Department contract contains a termination clause for any reason with
a 2-year written notice that cannot be issued any earlier than December 31, 2020.
Assuming the notice would be given on January 1, 2021, the contract would terminate
on December 31, 2022.
However, in this instance the Hamel Fire Department Board of Trustees have indicated
their desire for the Hamel Fire Department to become a City department and are
apparently amicable to a termination of the current contract. As such, consideration of the
termination clause is being absolved. As noted previously, Hamel Fire Department has
offered to allow the transfer of assets for certain non -monetary considerations.
The following table illustrates the financial impact for the City of Medina with creating a
City fire department. There are a few assumptions in this projected budget.
• The new City fire department would begin operations on January 1, 2021.
• The Fire Chief would be a full-time position
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 67
• With the exception of the Fire Chief, the department would remain as a volunteer
organization.
• Contract termination notices would be given on January 1, 2021.
• The City would assume full ownership of the Hamel Fire Department assets on
January 1, 2021.

One of the assumptions in this financial projection is for the fire department to remain as
a volunteer department. As previously noted, this is likely to become an issue in the near
future as the fire departments currently serving the City of Medina have indicated they
are struggling to recruit new volunteers for their respective departments. The cost to
include paid firefighters can take several forms.
Some fire departments have utilized part-time firefighters to staff the department for those
hours that volunteer firefighters are not available, typically the daytime hours during the
week. Hourly rates can vary between $15 and $20 depending on the area and certification
levels maintained. The hours of operation can range from 8 -hour days to 10-hour days.
Using a 10-hour day allows for the overlap between the paid crews and the volunteer
crews to ensure personnel coverage for calls for service. The table that follows illustrates
the cost associated with using part-time firefighters.
Part-Time Staffing
Hourly Rate 10-hour shift 2 Personnel FICA Total Cost
$15 $39,000 $78,000 $5,967 $83,967
$18 $46,800 $93,600 $7,160 $100,760
$20 $52,000 $104,000 $7,956 $111,956
The hours are based on a Monday through Friday work week with the 10-hour shift
totaling 2,600 hours for the year for each position.
Conversely, full-time employees could be used to staff the department during the daytime
hours. The range of pay is $55,000 to $65,000 per year per employee. The table that
follows illustrates the cost for two personnel.

Benefits
Total Cost per
Employee
Number of
Personnel Total Cost
$55,000 $4,208 $12,000 $71,208 2 $142,415
The cost for two full-time employees is approximately $142,415 and the hours for
operation would 8 hours per day. There could be some amount of overtime depending on
the calls for service at the timing of that request.
In terms of additional workload for the financial function, there will be additional payroll
issues, purchasing, and the payment of the normal invoices. The larger purchases will
require additional time to address the purchasing requirements for specifications and
purchase orders. To handle the needs of the fire department including the purchasing,
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 70
invoicing and other financial resource needs of the department, the City would likely need
a part-time financial assistant.
The cost of operating a municipal department wil l exceed the current cost of contracting
for services, increase ancillary service needs and workloads for existing City personnel.
This should only be pursued if the Hamel Fire Department is going to cease operations
and a joint powers agreement does not become feasible, which is discussed in the
following section.
Recommendation:
The City of Medina should only pursue the creation of a Municipal Fire Department
if there is no interest or pursuit of a fire district with other surrounding
jurisdictions.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 71
7 Joint Powers Agreement
This chapter presents the projects team’s analysis of creating a joint powers agreement
to provide fire protection services to the City of Medina.
1 Joint Powers Agreement Overview
Many communities provide fire protection services through joint and other cooperative
efforts. These include regional organizations, cooperatives for management and
purchasing, and joint operations. The intent with these types of cooperative efforts is to
reduce costs, create an effective fire protection system and eliminate any duplication of
resources.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 471, Section 471.59, provide a mechanism to allow units of
government to enter into written agreements with other units of government to provide
service or the performance of a function. Functions include joint construction or leasing
of facilities or equipment and the provision of administrative officers and functions.
For purposes of this section the term governmental unit “includes every city, county, town,
school district, service cooperative under section 123A.21, independent nonprofit
firefighting corporation, other political subdivision of this or another state, another state,
federally recognized Indian tribe, the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Historical
Society, nonprofit hospitals licensed under sections 144.50 to 144.56, rehabilitation
facilities and extended employment providers that are certified by the commissioner of
employment and economic development, data and supported employment services
licensed under chapter 245D, and any agency of the state of Minnesota or the United
States and includes any instrumentality of a governmental unit.”
Agreements between units of government must specify the functions or activities to be
performed and the means they will be performed. Financial considerations may be
addressed in these agreements to identify responsibilities of each organization in
providing funds to support the agreement. In addition, to identify any revenue that may
be derived from the function of the agreement. Transferring personnel and property
needs to be addressed in the agreement as well as the preservation of employment
benefits. The duration of the agreement can have a set term or may be perpetual.
In essence, a joint powers agreement can establish a fire district, but it cannot transfer
taxing authority to that district. The only manner in which taxing authority can be
transferred to or assigned to the fire district is through legislative action. This means the
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 72
cities involved in the joint powers agreement will remain as partners throughout the
duration of the agreement.
2 Governance
There is no specific requirement for the establishment of a Board of Directors for or
through the joint powers agreement. This would require the existing governance to remain
intact to manage the organizations as they currently exist. Assuming the agreement would
create a common administrative structure for the overall management of the districts, this
could prove to be problematic as each governing Board could provide opposing views
and direction to the administrative officers.
A joint board is required to be established if the power to issue bonds or obligations is
granted to the joint venture. The joint board must be composed solely of members of the
governing bodies of the governmental units that established the joint board. The statute
also does not allow the joint board to pledge any taxing power of any of the governmental
units establishing the joint board.
The fire agency created by a joint powers agreement does not have any taxing authority
but will be expending funds based on the budgets from the various participating cities and
potentially hiring staff; a joint board should be established to provide appropriate oversight
and control.
3 Financial Resources
There are two financial items that will need to be addressed concerning financial
resources. Operating funds are those funds that will be used for the daily operations of
the fire district and the capital improvement funds to ensure the fire district has t he
physical resources to deliver the desired level of service.
The formula for funding allocation can take any form desirable by the parties involved.
The current process is for the fire department to submit a budget for approval with the
City of Medina. Contributions from the City are then based on the market value of the
property protected and hours expended on calls for service. In this formula, 70% of the
contribution is based on the market value and 30% is based on the hours expended on
calls for service. While there are other mechanisms to use for the calculation, this
calculation has been agreed upon by the parties currently involved in contractually
providing service.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 73
Initially the fire district will rely on the municipalities to provide funding for the operation of
the district. In order for the fire district to become a taxing district the Minnesota State
Legislature must pass a law providing the authority. Another mechanism to fund the fire
district would be to establish a property tax rate that would sustain the fire district and
apply that to each individual member of the fire district. The table that follows uses the
taxable market value of the four municipalities to determine the percentage of
contribution.
JPA Taxable Funding Formula
Taxable Market Value Pct of the Total
Long Lake $296,371,990 5.3%
Orono $3,419,069,460 60.6%
Medina $1,855,481,106 32.9%
Loretto $71,764,455 1.3%
Totals $5,642,687,011 100.0%
While this mechanism seems to create a heavier burden to Orono, if the fire district
becomes a taxing authority the funding will in fact become a heavier burden to the Orono
area. The table that follows provides another mechanism that takes in to account the
area, population and calls for service.
JPA Funding Formula
Sq Miles Population Call Volume Contribution Pct.
Long Lake 0.86 2.0% 1,816 10.4% 67 11.1% 7.8%
Orono 15.92 37.4% 8,339 47.6% 280 46.4% 43.8%
Medina 25.55 60.0% 6,712 38.3% 236 39.1% 45.8%
Loretto 0.26 0.6% 664 3.8% 21 3.5% 2.6%
Totals 42.59 100.0% 17,531 100.0% 604 100.0% 100.0%
This method is similar to the existing method but is somewhat simplified. All three
components are expressed as a percentage of the total for that component. When added
together then divided by three the percentage of contribution is developed. In this
scenario the municipalities that are the largest in size, population, and users of the system
contribute more.
The following table illustrates anticipated projected expenditures for five years for the
Joint Powers Agreement. It is based on the Long Lake Fire Department budget as that
budget was detailed and contained many of the expected line items for a joint venture.

The projections are based on operating three fire stations and include a 2% annual
increase for each of the five years. There are likely some line items that will not be needed
and some that will need to be increased based on the needs of the new fire district .
For perspective, the following table illustrates the funding contribution for each
municipality for the next five years based on the projected expenditures. The rate of
contribution is from the previous allocation table using the population, area, and calls for
service.
JPA Contributions by Municipality
Pct of
Contribution 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
Long Lake 7.8% $66,039 $67,125 $68,233 $69,363 $70,515 $71,691
Orono 43.8% $369,447 $375,523 $381,720 $388,042 $394,489 $401,066

Loretto 2.6% $22,157 $22,522 $22,893 $23,272 $23,659 $24,054
Totals 100.0% $844,100 $857,982 $872,141 $886,584 $901,316 $916,342
These projections are based on the current population and call volume data. As the
population changes and the calls for service change, the contribution for each municipality
will change.
These projections will likely change as the joint powers agreement process continues to
develop but they do provide some guidance in the decision-making process.
4 Physical Resources
To form a fire agency using the joint powers agreement it is common for the joining entities
to lease their existing equipment to the fire agency. The same type of agreement is
generally done for fire stations. Given the conditions of the Hamel and Loretto fire stations,
the City of Medina would benefit by combining the two stations into a single station located
in the area of Highway 55 and Mohawk Drive. The map that follows illustrates the 10 -
minute travel time and the area covered from this new location.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 77
This location could serve the entire northern section of the City and still maintain the
current 10-minute travel time performance objective. The map that follows illustrates the
coverage of the City of Medina with the proposed station and Long Lake Fire Department
Station 1.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 78
Using these two stations with a ten-minute travel time, the City of Medina would be well
served. However, the construction of a new station will require some time to be
completed.
The map that follows illustrates the ten -minute travel time using the Long Lake Fire
Department Station 1 and the Loretto Fire Station.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 79
The northeast corner of the City and a large area in the east central section of the City
are outside of the ten-minute travel time area. As well the majority of the call volume is in
the northeast section of the City. Using this configuration would likely decrease the leve l
of service.
With the amount of time that will likely be needed to plan and construct a new fire station,
continued use of the existing facilities, Hamel and Loretto, would be in the best interest
of the northern sections of the City. While the two stations are not suitable for any major
renovations, they can continue to be used until such time as a new facility can be
constructed.
In terms of apparatus, the City already has a shared ownership with the Hamel Fire
Department as noted previously. As well, Hamel Fire Department has previously indicated
a willingness to transfer the assets to the City of Medina if a municipal fire department
were formed.
The table that follows provides a listing of all the apparatus and the ownership of the
apparatus currently providing services to the City of Medina.

The list is shown in order of the newest apparatus first. Of the 32 vehicles listed, 13 are
ten or less years old and 7 are between 11 and 15 years in age. With the newer apparatus,
the replacement is not imminent and will allow the fire district to establish a replacement
program and a capital improvement fund.
The previous table outlined the apparatus available for a fire district. The next step would
be to determine what is needed to provide service to the fire district. The table that follows
provides summary of the type of apparatus and the number of each type.
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA

Joint Powers Apparatus
Description Number of Apparatus
Type 1 Engine 7
Water Tender 5
Type 6 Engine/Brush Truck 4
Rescue 2
Heavy Rescue 1
Command/Utility 12
Water Rescue 1
In terms of the number of apparatus needed to provide service, the amount of apparatus
in the previous table appears to be good starting point. Using a three -station
configuration, the seven engine companies would allow for each station to house two
engine companies with one in reserve. The number of water tenders and brush trucks
appear to be appropriate given the hazards within the communities and the lack of a
municipal water supply in various areas.
Hamel Fire Department has previously agreed to allow the City of Medina to acquire their
current apparatus. There are eight units in the department, of which seven units are
already partially owned by the City. Three of the units have principal balances totaling
$522,969. If the City can acquire all the apparatus for the principle balances owed, the
City should move forward with the acquisition. This would provide 2 of the 7 engines
needed and 2 of the 5 tenders needed along with other apparatus and vehicles.
5 Human Resources
The assumption of the JPA formation is for the organization to remain as a volunteer
organization with the exception of the Fire Chief’s position. The current volunteer
personnel would transition to the new organization. However, the fire departments have
expressed their concerns over the number of volunteer personnel that are available in the
area. For the future staffing of the JPA, there may be a need for part -time or full-time
staffing.
The fire departments have established relief associations to provide pension and
retirement benefits for the volunteer personnel. Typically, the amount of the pension is
based on the years of service the personnel have provided to the department. These
associations are governed by Minnesota Statutes and have specific duties and
responsibilities assigned to them. Minnesota Statutes allow for the consolidation or
dissolution of the relief associations and provide specific procedures to address these
issues. The consolidation of the associations will require appropriate legal guidance and
filings with the State to consolidate and create a new association.

6 Comparative Analysis
The City of Medina has three choices with the delivery of fire suppression services; status
quo, establish a municipal fire department, or work with other partners in the area to
create a joint venture. The table that follows provides a comparative between the three
choices.

as human resources
or ACA requirements.
• Utilize the existing
volunteer staffing.
• May need to add full-
time or part-time staff
to provide services
sharing the cost with
all partners in the Joint
District.
Maintaining the established contractual system currently in use will require investment in
fire stations. Both Loretto and Hamel fire stations are inadequate and have outlived their
useful life. In addition, the fire departments have noted the volunteer staff is beginning to
dwindle and at some point, a paid staff will need to be instituted. The City will likely need
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 84
to bear the cost for the additional staffing with little control of the staffing model. In terms
of financial resources, the following table illustrates the cost differences.
City of Medina Financial Comparison
2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
Status Quo $1,143,085 $1,168,157 $1,205,701 $1,234,950 $1,262,920
Municipal Dept. $630,129 $701,509 $714,406 $688,824 $701,341
JPA $491,051 $664,406 $670,889 $677,502 $691,126
The status quo is based on the 10-year projection that also includes capital expenditures
for Hamel, Loretto, and Long Lake Fire Departments. The Municipal Department is based
on the projections from Chapter 6 that includes the capital items of apparatus and a fire
station. The apparatus, as outlined in Chapter 6, would be paid over a period of five years
would be completed by 2026. This would reduce the annual cost by approximately
$105,000. The fire station cost, using the calculations in Chapter 6, is $167,000 annually
and would be for a period of 15 to 20 years depending on the financing arrangements.
The JPA cost is based on the funding formula previously illustrated and the projected
costs of the JPA that has Medina providing 45.8% of the funding for the JPA. The capital
cost is included in the previous table as illustrated in the Municipal Department Chapter
with the apparatus payments being completed in 2026.
For the City of Medina there is not much difference between a municipal fire department
and a joint fire district partnership in terms of the needed capital items such as a fire
station and apparatus. The advantage to all participants in a joint fire district is the sharing
of operational costs and eventually capital costs. Should the Joint Fire District secure the
right to levy a tax and become self-sufficient, the Joint District would assume all the
responsibility.
7 Implementation
This process will require time to complete as there are many moving parts to address
within each organization and jurisdiction. The Cities of Medina, Long Lake, Orono and
Loretto have expressed interest in the establishment of a joint powers agreement. Long
Lake Fire Department and the Loretto Fire Department have also expressed their interest
in the joint powers agreement. The Hamel Fire Department has expressed their desire to
be absorbed by the City of Medina in lieu of the joint powers agreement.
The first step is to bring those interested entities together for the purposes of outlining the
desired organization and the commitment to pursue the fire district. Within this first step
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 85
is to determine the roles of the organizations and jurisdictions in the development of a fire
district. The cities involved are the organizations that have the duty to provide public
safety and they are the ones that have the taxing authority to financially support such an
endeavor. The fire departments involved have the technical expertise to support the fire
agency development but lack the taxing authority to provide any financial resources to
operate the agency.
Once the roles have been outlined, the process should turn to the development of the fire
agency. This part of the process can use existing joint powers agreements from other
agencies that have been successful in the development of their agreements and
operations. One such agreement is contained as an appendix at the end of this report.
In addition to the agreement contained in the appendix, there are other considerations for
the development of a fire agency as noted below:
• Organization – Legally establishing the fire district and creating the administrative
and organizational structure.
• Planning – Determining the fire district boundaries and the desired response
capabilities of the fire district.
• Financial – Determining the budget, the budget development process and how much
each community should be assessed.
• Physical Resources – How the existing equipment will be handled and how new
purchases will be handled in terms of ownership, placement, and usage.
• Human Resources – How are the existing employees to be integrated into the fire
district and how are new employees to be handled.
As the discussions progress, there will be other issues that are specific to the City of
Medina and the other partners that will require additional consideration and dialogue.
The chart below outlines a suggested timeline for bringing the joint powers agreement
forward for approval by the various entities. This timeline is for illustrative purposes;
certain phases may not take as long while others may take longer than expected. The
project team estimates the process will take 8 – 12 months to complete. The 12 month
timeline illustrated below can be accelerated if earlier tasks are performed
simultaneously.

Recommendations:
The City of Medina should pursue the development and creation of a fire agency

The City of Medina should acquire all the apparatus from the Hamel Fire
Department if the apparatus can be acquired for the current principle balance of
$522,969 that is owed on the current apparatus.

8 Facilities
The project team was tasked with conducting a walk -through evaluation of each Fire
Department station. The project team toured each location with Fire Department
personnel and was provided information as to the historical use, conditions, and general
shortcomings of each facility. The ultimate goal of the evaluation was to es tablish a
baseline inventory of current facility and site conditions to aid in determining potential
future use, expandability, deficiencies, and obsolescence.
1 Fire Department Facilities
For the facility evaluations, the project team conducted a “walk through” assessment of
the facility’s exterior, interior and technical systems in August 2020. Overall building
systems such as structural, mechanical, and electrical were assessed to the extent that
they could be readily observed. All evaluations were supplemented by information
provided by the user regarding the current conditions and any recent or planned
improvements. The evaluations are not based on a detailed analysis, but rather as a
broad index of each facility’s relative physical condition and viability. Conditions were
rated on a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor, as defined below.
• Excellent – conditions are newly renovated or constructed, basic standards are
meet or exceeded.
• Good - conditions meet basic standards and potential exists for expansion or
redevelopment at low expense.
• Fair - conditions may be reasonable for improvement or redevelopment at
substantial expense.
• Poor - conditions do not meet basic standards and have little potential for
improvement without significant effort and resources.
The following fire department facilities were evaluated by the project team:
• Hamel Fire Department
• Long Lake Fire Department Station 1
• Loretto Fire Department

Comments
Apparatus bay space is deep enough for some apparatus to be double
stacked but not much room between the apparatus. Any renovations will
require an addition to the building such as for sleeping quarters. Overall, the
facility is good condition on a dead-end section of the street.
2 Public Works Facility
The project team was tasked with conducting a walk -through evaluation of the public
works facility to evaluate its potential use as a fire station. Two bays on the north side of
the facility were specifically evaluated for use as a fire station facility.
These two bays are deep enough to provide sufficient space for apparatus. Additionally,
the bay doors are high enough to accommodate larger appara tus as well. The depth of
these two bays would allow for apparatus to be stacked in the bays reducing the number
of bays needed. However, this practice also increases the response time when
responding to a call for service. The type of call dictates the re sponse, it is quite feasible
the apparatus needed for a call would be staged behind another in the bay meaning the
first apparatus would need to be moved before the response could begin.
There are other issues that need to be considered. Crew quarters wo uld need to be
installed in the building, close to the apparatus bays that would include restrooms,
showers, kitchen, and lounge area. These would need to be in place in the anticipation of
full-time crews being housed in the station or volunteer crews staging in the fire station
during a long-term event.
The response for a call for service in the current environment requires the volunteer
member to respond to the station. There is limited parking on the north side of the building
that would need to be added to accommodate these responders. Another consideration
is the two operations that could be occurring simultaneously. Public works is moving in
and out of the facility with salt trucks and snowplows during a snow event and the fire
department is trying to maneuver in and out to respond to calls for service. With these
two operations occurring simultaneously, there would be private vehicles, dump trucks,
snowplows and fire apparatus moving in a variety of directions at the same time in a small
space.
The response to calls for service and the operations of the public works could create a
conflict in the moving of equipment and supplies. The other issue is the living
arrangements. With full-time crews, the fire station becomes a home for the personnel for
the 24-hour period. Placing the living quarters of the fire department on the second floor
in the public works building will likely create noise issues between the two groups. For
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 97
example, the public works crews respond to a water main break at 3 am. In d oing their
job there would likely be a considerable amount of noise moving equipment and supplies.
At the same time the fire crew is trying to sleep above the work area.
3 Summary
Fire department facilities are all purpose-built facilities that were constructed between
1969 and 2003. Overall, the Long Lake and Maple Plain facilities are in good condition,
adequately sized for their operations, and well maintained. Each have the capability to be
renovated or expand as needed as the site locations have the availability of land
surrounding the station.
The Hamel fire station should be razed and will need to be relocated. In terms of the
interior of the structure:
• The meeting/training room is not large enough to accommodate a normal
classroom size of 20 to 25 students or to hold a meeting with more than 15 people.
• The apparatus bays are not deep enough to properly house the larger apparatus
currently used by today’s fire service.
• The food preparation area is located in the apparatus bay behind the rescue truck,
not an appropriate space to prepare food or meals with the vehicle exhaust or other
contaminates.
The exterior of the structure has issues as well:
• The roof is reported to be the original roof.
• There is no on-site parking.
• Space to the rear of the building is limited in terms of the lot size.
The building is not suitable for any renovations to add proper food preparation areas,
sleeping quarters, dining areas or training/meeting rooms. The facility has separate
restroom facilities but only has a single unisex shower.
The Loretto fire station should be razed and will likely need to be relocated due to the
configuration of the existing site. The rear of the apparatus bay is against a hillside with
the on-site parking on the upper level. For the interior of the facility the following issues
were noted:
• The apparatus bays are too small for the apparatus. The rear of the apparatus is
physically against the rear wall.
• The women’s restroom is completely blocked by the apparatus.
• There is a small meeting room (approximately 920 sq. ft.) on the second floor
that also houses a small kitchen and office workspace.

Matrix Consulting Group Page 98
The exterior of the of the structure is in fair condition with on -site parking available and
good visibility for leaving the station. The topography of the lot may not be very conducive
to any expansion with the only option to build a second floor.
Neither of these two stations are suitable for the renovations necessary to house staffing
- volunteer, part-time or full-time. To accommodate in-station staffing, the stations would
need to be expanded to provide appropriate facilities for food preparation, sleeping
quarters, restrooms, and shower facilities. In Hamel, expanding the living quarters would
not leave room to expand the apparatus bays. In Loretto, adding a second floor for living
quarters does not address the apparatus bay area.
Recommendations:
The City of Medina should not invest additional funding to the fire stations in
Loretto or Hamel.
The City of Medina should not integrate a fire station into the public works facility
as the operations of a fire department and public works are not conducive to each
other.
The City of Medina should pursue a new fire station facility at a location that fits
the new fire district model or the municipal fire department model.

b. To the full extent permitted by law, this Agreement and the activities
carried out hereunder are intended to be and shall be construed as a
“cooperative activity” and it is the intent of the Parties and Members
that they, together with the Organization, shall be deemed a “single
governmental unit” for the purposes of liability, all as set forth in
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 110
Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59, subdivision 1a. Furthermore, for
purposes of Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59, subdivision 1a, each
Party and Member to this Agreement expressly declines responsibility
for the acts or omissions of the other Parties and Members. In addition
to the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to waive or limit any
exemption or immunity from, or limitation on, liability available to the
Parties or Members, whether set forth in Minnesota Statutes, chapter
466 or otherwise.
c. The Organization shall hold the Parties and Members harmless,
individually and collectively, and will defend and indemnify the Parties
and Members, their officers, employees, and agents, for any claims,
suits, demands or causes of action for any damages or injuries based
on allegations of negligence or omissions by t he Organization. The
Organization’s duty to indemnify will be limited to its applicable
insurance coverage and does not constitute, or shall be construed as, a
waiver by either the Organization or any or all Parties or Members of any
exemptions, immunities, or limitations on liability provided by law or of
being treated as a single governmental unit as provided in Minnesota
Statutes, section 471.59, subdivision 1(a). The Organization’s obligation
under this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
d. Under no circumstances shall a Party or Member be required to pay on
behalf of itself and other Parties or Members, any amounts in excess of
the limits on liability established in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466,
applicable to any other Party or Member. The limits of liability for some
or all of the Members may not be added together to determine the
maximum amount of liability for any Member.
e. The Parties and Members to this Agreement are not liable for the acts
or omissions of the others except to the extent to which they have
agreed in writing to be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other
Parties or Members.
f. If a Member has procured or extended insurance coverage pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §§ 466.06 or 471.981 in excess of the limits on governmental
liability under section 466.04, subdivision 1, covering participation in this
Agreement, the procurement of that insurance constitutes a waiver of the
limits of governmental liability for that governmental unit only to the extent
that valid and collectable insurance or self-insurance, including, where
applicable, proceeds from the Minnesota Guarantee Fund, exceeds those
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 111
limits and covers that Member's liability for the claim, if any.
g. If a damage award is higher than the NAFRS’ insurance limits , the
Parties agree that excess damages shall be paid proportionally based
on each Parties’ Party Contribution as of the date of the occurrence of
the injury which caused the damage.
11. New Members.
Another governmental unit may be added to this Agreement upon the
unanimous approval of all the governing bodies of the Parties. If
approved, the rights and obligations of the new party shall be set forth in
a writing amending this Agreement and the new Member shall be fully
obligated and bound by the terms of this Agreement as amended. The
new Member, based upon a duly adopted resolution of its governing body,
shall execute the amended Agreement and file it with the NAFRS. A new
Member shall not be compensated for any equipment donated to the
NAFRS. A new Member shall not have an interest in any assets upon
withdrawal or dissolution until the new Member has been a Member of
the Organization for a period of ten (10) continuous years.
12. Mutual Aid Agreements.
The NAFRS may enter into mutual aid and other service contracts to
provide services to other jurisdictions. Such contracts require the
consent of a majority of the Board.
13. Firefighters Relief Association.
The NAFRS shall be responsible for supporting and funding the
Northfield Firefighter’s Relief Association (“Relief Association”), including
any under-funded amount in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The
NAFRS shall contact the Relief Association regarding this organizational
change immediately following the Effective Date and request that the
Relief Association take all actions necessary to change its enabling
documents and bylaws accordingly to allow existing and new employees
of the NAFRS to be eligible for membership in the Relief Association.
The Parties agree to contribute to the Relief Association annually through
the Organization’s budget and Party Contribution process. The Relief
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 112
Association is a separate and independent organization apart from the
NAFRS. It is up to the Relief Association to manage its accounts and
allow pension benefit changes appropriate under the “fully funded”
definition provided by Minnesota State Statutes as substantiated by an
actuarial survey performed by a professional accounting firm. As relief
and pension benefits change, each Party agrees to guarantee the
payment of pension benefits at the level established, providing that any
benefit increases meet the requirement of “fully funded” as defined by
appropriate Minnesota State Statutes as substantiated by an actuarial
survey performed by a professional accounting firm. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, each Party’s obligation to guarantee the payment of
said pension benefits shall be limited to that percentage of th e pension
benefits which equals the Party’s Party Contribution.
14. Compliance with Laws.

State regulations, standards, and requirements. NAFRS shall at all times
be in compliance with such equipment, personnel and training standards
as may be required by law.

b. On the Effective Date, all personnel of the City of Northfield Fire
Department shall become employees of the Organization and the
Organization shall thereafter be solely responsible for all aspects
related thereto, including compensation of employees.
c. Rules, Policies and Procedures. The NAFRS must promptly, following
the Effective Date, adopt rules, policies, procedures, bylaws, and
regulations governing operation, management, department structure,
personnel administration and all other like matters related to the
Organization and its personnel and operations. Until such rules, policies,
procedures, bylaws and regulations have otherwise been established or
DRAFT Comprehensive Fire Service Study MEDINA, MINNESOTA
Matrix Consulting Group Page 113
changed by the Board, the Northfield employee handbook, standard
operating guidelines, and related regulations of Northfield pertaining to
the Northfield Fire Department are adopted hereby by the NAFRS and
shall apply to the NAFRS and its personnel, except to the extent
superseded by this Agreement, upon the Effective Date.

efficient and effective operations of the Organization; the hiring,
termination, supervision, discipline and the direction of all NAFRS
personnel; the establishment of rules of conduct for those personnel of
the NAFRS; and carrying out the policies and procedures adopted by
the Board and such other responsibilities and duties as are established
by the Board from time to time. The Fire Chief shall be appointed by the
Board and serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Fire Chief shall be
chosen by the Board based on training, experience, administrative and
other qualifications. The Fire Chief shall be appointed by the Board for
an indefinite term and may be removed by the Board at any time in the
Board’s sole discretion.

Procedure for determining the allocation of costs among the Parties
Step 1: Get the Estimated Market Value of Improvements (EMVI) and Populations
for each of the members. Get the fire call history for the previous three years. The
EMVI is to be obtained from the Rice and Dakota County Auditors. The Population
is to be obtained from the State Demographer. The fire call history is to be obtained
from NAFRS.
Step 2: Consolidate the EMVI, Population and Fire Call data for the townships in the
Rural Fire District.
Step 3: Determine whether Rescue Squad related costs paid by NAFRS exceed
$75,000 for each year of a two-year continuous period. If so, then rescue calls will be
added to fire calls.
Step 4: Calculate the three-year average of fire calls (or fire calls plus rescue
calls if so, determined in Step 3) for each of the Parties. A fire call is counted
if:
a. It occurs in the NAFRS service area. Consequently, it occurs in either a
township, Dundas, or Northfield. All calls in townships will be attributed
to the Rural Fire District.
b. A report has been submitted to the National Fire Incident Reporting System.
Step 5: Apply the following weighting factors for EMVI, Population and Average Fire
Calls to determine each Party’s’ obligation.
EMVI 33%
Population 33%
Fire Calls 34%
EXAMPLE:
Step 1: Current data for Estimated Market Value of Improvements and

Step 3: Calculate the rescue squad related costs paid by NAFRS and the percentage
of these costs compared to NAFRS operating and capital budget for the year. These
costs are determined as follows, using 2017 costs in the example:
Capital equipment $0
Small equipment $0
Maintenance $10,000 equipment maintenance, fuel, insurance
Rent $1,600 use $5.00 /sq ft for the upgraded facility
Operations $6,000 8% of NAFRS facility budget
Personnel $1,900 Captain’s pay + employers contribution to FICA, Medicare
Total $19,500
The total NAFRS contribution to the Rescue Squad for this year was $19,500.

Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The interest
thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable by check or draft
issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment
date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available
for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication,
or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be
dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of
each year, commencing August 1, 2021, to the registered owners of record as of the close of business on
the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint, and will maintain, a bond registrar, transfer agent,
authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration and the rights and
duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond
register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the
registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or
exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the
registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory
to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized
by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount
and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for
registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment
date and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for
exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate
principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner ’s attorney in
writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly
cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar
for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the
endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the
6
requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in
good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether
the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the
principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a
registered owner or upon the owner ’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner
thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is
destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity
date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in
lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a
Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the
Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the
Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and
as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds
so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already
matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation,
Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator are authorized to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of
the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized
by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The
City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The
City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice and upon the appointment of
a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its
possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or
before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the Finance Director
must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction
of the City Administrator and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Administrator, provided that all signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the
originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to
be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery.
Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any
security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has
been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates
of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered
7
under this resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City
Administrator will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the
application of the purchase price.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to obtain a
copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.

Bonds, Series 2020A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created. The Debt Service Fund

from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The City will maintain the
following accounts in the Debt Service Fund: the “Capital Improvements Account” and the “Assessable
Improvements Account.” Amounts in the Capital Improvements Account are irrevocably pledged to the CIP
Refunding Bonds, and amounts in the Assessable Improvements Account are irrevocably pledged to the
Improvement Refunding Bonds.
(a) Capital Improvements Account. Proceeds of the ad valorem taxes hereinafter levied
for the payment of the CIP Refunding Bonds (the “Taxes”) are hereby pledged to the Capital
Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund, and such amounts shall be used to pay the
principal of and interest on the CIP Refunding Bonds. There is also appropriated to the Capital
Improvements Account a pro rata portion of amounts over the minimum purchase price paid by the
Purchaser, to the extent designated for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with
Section 1.03 hereof.
(b) Assessable Improvements Account. Following the Prior Improvement Bonds
Redemption Date, special assessments levied for the Assessable Improvements (the “Special
Assessments”) are hereby pledged to the Assessable Improvements Account of the Debt Service
Fund, and such amounts shall be used to pay the principal of and interest on the Improvement
Refunding Bonds. There is also appropriated to the Assessable Improvements Account a pro rata
portion of amounts over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated
for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof.
4.02. Redemption Fund. All proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in
Section 4.01 hereof and the costs of issuance of the Bonds, will be deposited in a separate fund (the
“Redemption Fund”) to be used solely to redeem and prepay the Prior CIP Bonds on the Prior CIP Bonds
Redemption Date and to redeem and prepay the Prior Improvement Bonds on the Prior Improvement
Bonds Redemption Date. Any balance allocated to the Prior CIP Bonds remaining in the Redemption
Fund after the redemption of the Prior CIP Bonds on the Prior CIP Bonds Redemption Date shall be
deposited in Capital Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund herein created. Any balance
allocated to the Prior Improvement Bonds remaining in the Redemption Fund after the redemption of the
Prior Improvement Bonds on the Prior Improvement Bonds Redemption Date shall be deposited in the
Assessable Improvements Account.
8
4.03. Prior Debt Service Funds.
(a) The debt service fund heretofore established for the Prior CIP Bonds pursuant to
the resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the Prior CIP Bonds (the “Prior CIP Bonds
Resolutions”) shall be closed following the redemption of the Prior CIP Bonds, and all monies
therein shall be transferred to the Capital Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund herein
created.
(b) The debt service fund heretofore established for the Prior Improvement Bonds
pursuant to the resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the Prior Improvement Bonds
(the “Prior Improvement Bonds Resolutions”) shall be closed following the redemption of the
Prior Improvement Bonds, and all monies therein shall be transferred to the Assessable
Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund herein created.
4.04. Prior Improvement Bonds Resolution Pledges. The pledges and covenants of the City
made by the Prior Improvement Bonds Resolution relating to the Special Assessments levied for the
Assessable Improvements are restated and confirmed in all respects. The provisions of the Prior
Improvement Bonds Resolution are hereby supplemented to the extent necessary to give full effect to the
provisions hereof.
4.05. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City will be
and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Fund is ever insufficient to pay all
principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency will be
promptly paid out of monies in the general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such
general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Fund when a sufficient
balance is available therein.
4.06. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the CIP
Refunding Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable
property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other
general taxes of the City. Such Taxes will be credited to the Capital Improvements Account of the Debt
Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and amounts attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
4.07. Certification to Taxpayer Services Division Manager as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It
is hereby determined that the estimated collection of the foregoing Taxes and Special Assessments will
produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and
interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy herein provided will be irrepealable until all of the Bonds
are paid, provided that at the time the City makes its annual tax levies the Finance Director may certify to
the Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County, Minnesota (the “Taxpayer Services
Division Manager”) the amount available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and interest due
during the ensuing year, and the Taxpayer Services Division Manager will thereupon reduce the levy
collectible during such year by the amount so certified.
4.08. Cancellation of Levy for Prior CIP Bonds. Following the payment in full of all
outstanding principal of and interest due on the Prior CIP Bonds on the Prior CIP Bonds Redemption
Date, the Finance Director is hereby directed to certify such fact to and request the Taxpayer Services
Division Manager to cancel any and all tax levies made by the Prior CIP Bonds Resolution.
9
4.09. Certification of Taxpayer Services Division Manager as to Registration. The City
Administrator is directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the Taxpayer Services Division
Manager and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act.

will be called for redemption in the principal amount of $4,880,000. On the Prior Improvement Bonds
Redemption Date, the Prior Improvement Bonds will be called for redemption in the principal amount of
$1,120,000. It is hereby found and determined that based upon information presently available from the
City’s municipal advisor, the issuance of the Bonds, a portion of which will be used to redeem and prepay
the Prior CIP Bonds and the Prior Improvement Bonds (together, the “Prior Bonds”), is consistent with
covenants made with the holders of the Prior Bonds and is necessary and desirable for the reduction of
debt service costs to the City.
5.02. Application of Proceeds of Bonds. It is hereby found and determined that the proceeds of
the Bonds deposited in the Redemption Fund, along with any other funds on hand in the debt service
funds established for the Prior Bonds, will be sufficient to prepay all of the principal of, interest on and
redemption premium (if any) on the Prior Bonds.
5.03. Redemption; Date of Redemption; Notices of Call for Redemption. The Prior CIP Bonds
maturing after the Prior CIP Bonds Redemption Date will be redeemed and prepaid on the Prior CIP
Bonds Redemption Date. The Prior Improvement Bonds maturing after the Prior Improvement Bonds
Redemption Date will be redeemed and prepaid on the Prior Improvement Bonds Redemption Date. The
Prior Bonds will be redeemed and prepaid in accordance with their terms and in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the forms of Notice of Call for Redemption attached hereto as
EXHIBITS D-1 and D-2, which terms and conditions are hereby approved and incorporated herein by
reference. The registrars for the Prior Bonds are authorized and directed to send a copy of the respective
Notice of Call for Redemption to each registered holder of the Prior Bonds at least thirty (30) days prior
to the respective date of redemption.

6.02. Certification as to Final Official Statement. The Mayor, the City Administrator, and the
Finance Director are hereby authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Final Official

facts and representations made therein as of the date of the offering materials.
6.03. Other Certificates. The Mayor, the City Administrator, and the Finance Director are
hereby authorized and directed to furnish to the Purchaser at the closing such certificates as are required

Section 7. Tax Covenant.
7.01. Tax -Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of
the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action
which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect
at the time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all
affirmative action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become
subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as
hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds.
7.02. Rebate. The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish
and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code,
including without limitation requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, limitations on
amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States.
7.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the
Bonds or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be
“private activity bonds” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
7.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified
tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the
following factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the Code;
(b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for
purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than any
private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by the City
(and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2020 will not exceed $10,000,000;
and
11
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year
2020 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
7.05. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any federal
procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by this section.
Section 8. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten or
printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.04 hereof. Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its
successors and assigns (“DTC”). Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
8.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent
will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from
time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (the “Participants”) or to any other
person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, including but not limited to any
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any
other person (other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the
Registrar), of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the
payment to any Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the
Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration
books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with
respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the
registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy
and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of Bonds,
as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the
obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City Administrator of a written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words “Cede &
Co.” will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the City Administrator
will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will govern payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or
Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action
necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and
Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
8.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds
that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the
12
Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City will issue,
transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other registered owners in
accordance with the provisions of this resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its
services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities
depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in
accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method
of payment thereof.
8.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to the
contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with
respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices with respect to the Bond will
be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC’s Operational Arrangements as set forth
in the Representation Letter.

covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, failure of the City to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default with respect
to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate,
including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its
obligations under this section.

Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The City may
discharge all Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be
discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest
accrued to the date of such deposit.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Medina City Council
FROM: Nate Sparks
DATE: November 11, 2020
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2020
RE: Holy Name Lake Estates Preliminary Plat & Variances
CITY FILE: LR-20-278
Review Deadline
Application Received: September 11 and September 25, 2020
Variance Review Deadline: January 8, 2021
Preliminary Plat Review Deadline: January 22, 2021
BACKGROUND
Donavon DesMarais has made application for a preliminary plat on unaddressed property located
northeast of Pinto Drive north of Holy Name Lake. The site is three unaddressed properties.
Two of the properties are owned by the Brown Lake Partnership and one is owned by Francis
Scherer trust. The subject site is approximately 90 acres in size with about 25 acres being under
the ordinary high water mark of Holy Name Lake. Most of the remaining site is currently
farmed.
The applicant proposes to subdivide the three large acreage parcels into six acreage lots. The
applicant also requests a variance to extend Pinto Drive to access the site and to terminate with a
cul-de-sac. Existing Pinto Drive exceeds the maximum cul-de-sac length described in the City’s
subdivision ordinance, and extending it would require a variance. Each of the six proposed
acreage parcels range in size from 10-23 acres.
As part of this subdivision, the applicant will be reconstructing a portion of the existing Pinto
Drive.
The subject parcels are zoned RR, Rural Residential. Properties to the north, south, west and
north east are also zoned RR. To the east properties are zoned SR, Suburban Residential.
Agenda Item # 8A
The properties are located north of County Road 24, northwest of and along Holy Name Lake,
north and to the east of Pinto Drive. The aerial of the three parcels are shown on the following
page:
PROPOSED DIVISION
The applicant is proposing to divide the subject site into six parcels. The property is zoned Rural
Residential which allows for parcels 300 feet wide and 200 feet deep with a minimum of 5 acres
of contiguous suitable soils. The parcels would access off an extension of Pinto Drive.
The following table summarizes the proposed RR lots compared to the requirements of the
district.

Max. Hardcover 40% (25% w/in 1000’ of lake)
Shoreland District Standards
Holy Name Lake is a “recreational development” lake. This requires 150 feet of width for each
riparian lot at the ordinary high water mark, with a 75 foot setback for both septic systems and
structures. All lots proposed meet these standards. The Shoreland Ordinance also limits
impervious surfaces to 25% of the lot.
Lot Standards
The proposed six lots meet minimum lot size standards of the RR zoning district and the
Shoreland Ordinance. The width of each lot in the cul-de-sac are narrower at the street and,
consistent with the zoning and subdivision ordinances, and are measured at the widest point of
the lot.
Soils Review
The minimum lot size is defined as having “at least five acres of contiguous soils suitable for a
standard sewage disposal system as defined in Section 720 Individual Sewage Treatment
Systems and in section 826.25 subd. 2. The lot must contain a primary and secondary site for an
on-site sewage disposal system and both sites must be protected during construction.”
The ordinance goes on to state that: “in the event that the owner or subdivider is of the opinion
that the soils types designated by the most current Hennepin County Soils Survey are inaccurate
by type or location, he or she shall include information with respect to the inaccuracies in the
submittal.”
The applicant has contested the Hennepin County Soils Survey in some locations based on their
finding that the topography is not as steep as indicated on the county map. In the areas contested,
it appears that the information is correct.
PROPERTY ACCESS / STREETS
The applicant is proposing an extension of Pinto Drive to the northeast to accommodate the
development. The road will be reconstructed from a private street cul-de-sac north of County
Road 24 to the property. The road will then be extended into the property and end in a new cul-
de-sac.
The current north-south section of Pinto Drive that extends northward from County Road 24 is
about 1300 feet in length. The portion of this road that extends from County Road 24 to the
private drive in the Winchester Hills subdivision (2060 Pinto Drive) is currently built to adequate
standards. North of this private drive, though, the road is substandard and requires
reconstruction as part of this project. The developer is rebuilding the road in this area for the
development.
The section from the Winchester Hills private drive to the east-west portion of Pinto Drive to
access this site is about 860 feet in length. The road surface is about 16-18 feet wide. It will be
rebuilt to a standard 24 foot width with shoulder and ditches.
The east-west portion of Pinto will utilize a partial right-of-way dedicated with the Ducharme
Addition subdivision and then the right-of-way dedication associated with this subdivision on the
existing “flag” portion of the western parcel of the subject site. This portion of the road currently
has a private driveway in it that accesses 2232 and 2192 Pinto Drive and the subject site. This
east-west portion of the road will be about 650 feet in length.
The road is not proposed as a private street, as it is an extension of an existing public street
segment. There are two existing houses that will be using the east-west portion of the new road,
which is being built on property dedicated from the subject site. This portion of the road would
need to remain public for their access. Therefore, it would require a cul-de-sac for City vehicles
to turn around and then a second cul-de-sac at the end of the private road segment.
Cul-de-sac Length Variance
The Subdivision Ordinance states that “the maximum length of a street terminating in a cul-de-
sac shall be 750 feet, measured from the centerline of the street of origin to the end of the right-
of-way, or a maximum of 20 lots, whichever is shorter.” The proposed cul-de-sac will be
approximately 3,500 feet in length, which requires a variance.
The applicant proposes this configuration as it is not intended to be connected to other properties
to the north or continue further.
There are approximately eight houses on this portion of Pinto Drive, which would become 14
under this subdivision. There is limited potential for future subdivision and building within the
area served by this roadway.
TREE REMOVAL
The City's tree inspector states that the applicant is proposing to remove 45 trees. Upon review
of the site, it appears that the permitted 10% removal would allow for the removal of 70 trees.
There is also tree removal that will be necessary along the reconstructed portion of Pinto Drive.
These eleven trees are within the Pinto Drive right-of-way south of the subject site and therefore
not technically part of the tree removal calculation. Even if the trees were counted, it would fall
within the removal allowed without replacement. The trees being removed are necessary for the
roadway improvements and it does not appear to be possible to avoid.
UTILITIES
The applicant has provided soil borings for septic review. It appears that each lot will be capable
of providing two Type I septic systems. This would be consistent with City regulations.
There is also an overhead power line through the site. The applicant states that this power line
will be buried as part of the project.
DRAINAGE / EASEMENTS / WETLANDS
The property is riparian to Holy Name Lake and has three lots with lake frontage. The ordinary
high water mark of the lake is 993.7 feet. The highest known water elevation is 994.51. The
Watershed District states that the 100 year flood elevation is 997.05 feet. The demonstrated
structure elevations are proposed at elevations above these levels.
There are several wetlands located on the site, especially adjacent to the lake. There are areas of
wetland impacts that require permitting. An upland buffer planting plan will also be required.
Drainage and utility easements are provided on the perimeter of the site and over wetland and
floodplain areas. There are also drainage and utility easements over stormwater infrastructure
such as ponds, drainageways, and emergency overflows.
PARK DEDICATION
The Subdivision Ordinance requires park dedication at the rate of 10% of the land, 8% of the
value of the land, or a combination thereof. The parcels total about 90 acres in size, with
approximately 52 acres buildable after subtracting the land under Holy Name lake and within
wetlands. This would require a land dedication of 5.2 acres or a cash-in-lieu dedication of
$24,000.
The City’s decision on required park dedication is guided by its Comprehensive Park, Trail, and
open space plan as well as the Master Plan. Map 6-1 from the Park, Trail, and Open Space Plan
is attached for reference. These documents do not identify any need for park land in this area of
the City.
The City's plans do identify a north-south trail between Medina Road and County Road 24 to the
west of Holy Name Lake. In addition, Three Rivers Park has identified a future regional trail
corridor in the vicinity of the site. Three Rivers is currently in the process of preparing a master
plan for this future regional trail and has identified a series of potential route alternatives through
Medina. One of the routes would run north-south through the subject site.
The Park Commission reviewed the plan and recommended 25 foot wide trail easements to be
dedicated along the north property line of a portion of the site and then connecting to the
roadway and then following the roadway. The total amount of easement would be 1.18 acres of
land (22.7% of 5.2 acres). The remainder of the park dedication would be cash-in-lieu in the
amount of $18,553.
Staff also recommends that the applicant incorporate an area for the future trail within its grading
plan for the street. Whether the easement should be located north or south of the road should be
determined based on the grading plan.
The Park Commission also recommended that the drainage and utility easements adjacent to
property lines with trail easements shall be increased in size to include the space for drainage and
utility outside of the trail easement.
APPLICATION REVIEW
The subdivision regulations state that the Planning Commission and City Council shall deny
approval of a plat based on one or a combination of the following findings:
a) That the proposed subdivision is in conflict with the general and specific plans of the
city, or that the proposed subdivision is premature, as defined in Section 820.28.
b) That the physical characteristics of this site, including but not limited to topography,
vegetation, soils, susceptibility to flooding, water storage, drainage and retention, are
such that the site is not suitable for the type of development or use contemplated.
c) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development or does
not meet minimum lot size standards.
d) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause
substantial environmental damage.
e) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements are likely to cause serious
public health problems.
f) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with public
or private streets, easements or right-of-way.
If the City does not make these findings, and the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, City ordinances, and other City policies, the preliminary plat should be approved.
This application has two key factors that should be discussed by the City Council:
Cul-de-sac Length Variance
The applicant is proposing a cul-de-sac length variance to exceed the maximum length of a cul-
de-sac (750 feet). The planning commission may recommend, and the city council may grant
variances from the literal provisions of this ordinance in instances where their strict enforcement
would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under
consideration. Any person requesting a variance may appear at planning commission and city
council meetings where such application is considered and provide to the planning commission
and the city council such maps, drawings, plans, records and other information necessary to
make a determination on the application. It is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate
that all of the following standards for variance have been met:
a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the
specific parcels of land involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result if the
strict letter of this ordinance were carried out.
b) The conditions upon which the application for the variance is based are unique to the
parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not common to other properties
within the City.
c) The hardship is related to the requirements of these regulations and has not been created
by any persons presently or formerly having an interest in the parcel of land.
d) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
The applicant has stated that the reason for the variance is necessary “as there is no other way to
access this property other than through Pinto Dr. The property does not border or touch any other
public or private streets thus eliminating any and all alternative access-points. The applicant has
exhausted any and all possible alternative pathways into the land and none of those creative
options are tangible. Over half of the entire 90 acre property is landlocked whereby allowing a
roadway into it then allows for all of it to be accessed and utilized. With the concentration of
several wetland areas and its proximity near Holy Name Lake where this property abuts, there
are only a few specific pathways that minimize any impact on the land itself and that best
pathway is depicted in the preliminary plat herein. If this variance wasn’t granted the
applicant/owner would not be able to use and enjoy the property to the full extent of its
potential.”
They go on to state that “the conditions upon which the application for variance are based are
unique to the entire property as only one of the three parcels at present have access via any sort
of roadway. That current access is via a gravel private-drive where Pinto Drive terminates and it
currently serves two neighboring residences who have been given verbal easement rights to
access their properties through/over the subject property. Because two of the three subject
parcels are landlocked the only single way to gain access to the entire 90 acres is by extending
Pinto Drive easterly into the parcels themselves. There likely isn’t another example in the City of
Medina where you find three parcels oriented/platted in this fashion whereby two of the parcels
are landlocked/inaccessible and the only way to provide two neighboring properties access to
their residences is by the subject property owner granting to them an easement over his land.
Also unique to the subject parcels is that there are six building rights-entitlements that presently
exist and those rights-entitlements cannot be fulfilled without such an extension to Pinto Drive
being approved as proposed herein.”
Generally, the road is an existing condition which is proposed for extension. This is the existing
access route to the property and there are no alternatives. There are no planned road connections
within this area, as well. Due to these conditions, and the limited possible number of additional
home sites within this area, it would appear that this variance request could be deemed
acceptable.
There is an existing cul-de-sac on Cheyenne Trail to the east of this site that is almost 3,000 feet
in length.
Soils Constestation
The applicant is also contesting the Hennepin County soils map. This process allows for
applicants to contest portions of the map. In many cases, the soils map is more broad and
general than the actual conditions on a site. This is especially true related to slope between soil
types. Certain soil series with slopes exceeding 12% are not considered suitable, while 12% and
under are suitable. The applicant provided field-shot topography in areas of the site which the
Hennepin County soils map showed as a soil series with >12% slope which were, in fact less
steep. City Staff has reviewed the areas being contested and found that they do generally meet
the criteria for inclusion as suitable soils.
It should be noted that there is approximately an acre area along the lake which included in the
Hennepin County soils map which is likely over 12%. Confirming the soils maps has not
necessarily been the method utilized in the past by the City. Soils surveys allow for some
inclusions within a polygon because of the scale on which they are completed. Additional, staff
concluded that even if these areas were discarded, it appears that the same number of lots would
be created but the configuration may require shifting. Since the net impact is the same, it
appears that the method utilized by the applicant is acceptable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The proposed division appears to conform with the general requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Comprehensive Plan.
The variance requested is the result of an extension of Pinto Drive which lengthens an already
non-conforming cul-de-sac. The City has no plan that requires this road to connect further and at
the proposed density in the area (1 unit per 10 acres) it would seem that the capacity for this cul-
de-sac would not be exceeded.
The proposed soils contestation appears to be generally consistent with the Zoning Ordinance
and past City practices.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission reviewed the application and held a public hearing at their November
10, 2020 meeting. Several area residents had questions and concerns related to the road
reconstruction project that were largely addressed by the applicant.
The Planning Commission found that the subdivision was consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and met the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The Commission also
found that the cul-de-sac length variance was justified due to it being an extension of a public
road with no further planned outlets.
Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision with variance
with the following conditions:
1. The Applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the City, which shall include
the conditions described below as well as other requirements by City ordinance or policy.
2. Easement legal descriptions shall be provided to the City Attorney.
3. An Upland Buffer conservation easement and planting plans shall be provided around the
wetlands.
4. The property owner shall meet the requirements of the City Attorney with regards to title
issues and recording procedures.
5. All comments from the City Engineer shall be addressed.
6. All comments from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District shall be addressed.
7. The applicant shall submit park dedication in the amount recommended by the Parks
Commission. This includes the trail easements totaling 1.18 acres and cash-in-lieu of
$18,553.
8. Drainage and utility easements adjacent to trail easements shall be increased in size to
accommodate the standard drainage and utility area outside of the trail easement.
9. The applicant shall pay to the City a fee in an amount sufficient to reimburse the City for
the cost of reviewing the preliminary plat and other relevant documents.
10. The application for final plat shall be submitted to the City within 180 days of preliminary
approval or the preliminary plat shall be considered void, unless a written request for time
extension is submitted by the applicant and approved by the City Council.
Potential Action:
Motion to direct staff to prepare resolution of approval subject to the conditions noted in the staff
report.

2. Holy Name Lake Estates – Donavan DesMarais – North of County Road 24, Northwest of Holy
Name Lake – Preliminary Plat for Six-Lot Subdivision on Approximately 90 Acres and
Variance from Maximum Cul-De-Sac Length – PIDs 2411823210001, 2411823220002, and
2411823240001
Sparks presented a request for Preliminary Plat with a cul-de-sac length variance for the subject site.
He noted that the request would require an extension of Pinto Drive into the property. He stated that
three parcels would be divided into six lots and the lots generally meet the rural residential standards
with the exception of the cul-de-sac length. He stated that the subject property has a flag lot
configuration that connects to Pinto Drive, which would serve as access to the site and the road would
continue as shown on the plat. He stated that if the existing road were considered a cul-de-sac, it
would already exceed the cul-de-sac length standard. He stated that the applicant proposes lots that
generally meet the lot standards. He noted that the property requires a soils contestation, as the
applicant believes that the Hennepin County soils map is inaccurate for this property. He stated that
the applicant has submitted a diagram that identifies the contested soil areas. He stated that it does
appear that the contest of the soils map is acceptable. He provided details on the cul-de-sac length
standard and proposed variance. He stated that this is the only access for the parcel and there are no
other alternatives, therefore this could be considered as a reasonable request. He provided details on
the proposed trails as recommended by the Park Commission which would include dedication of trail
easements and cash in lieu. He stated that the proposed tree removal would meet the City’s
requirements. He stated that staff recommends approval of the plat with the conditions noted in the
staff report.
Nielsen asked why there is a limit on the length of a cul-de-sac.
Sparks explained that the intent is to prevent a long cul-de-sac with many homes on it in an urban
area. He stated that the City regulation is 750 feet and/or 20 homes. He stated that if something were
to happen, the City would not want to have long segments of roads that cannot be accessed by public
safety. He noted that it is also difficult for plow trucks to go down long segments of road with no
way out. He stated that this is the nature of this rural area and there is not another option, therefore
this does not seem very impactful.
Nielsen stated that she lives on a cul-de-sac road in the neighboring community and asked if the
length of her road is known for comparison.
Grajczyk asked for details on the path of Pinto Drive.
Sparks stated that there are existing homes in this area and the new portion of Pinto Drive and
confirmed that the new segment would go between two of the homes.
Grajczyk asked if Holy Name Lake is considered an impaired water body and whether there would be
street improvements for Pinto Drive in terms of stormwater management.
Sparks stated that this application is going through the permitting process of the watershed. He was
unsure of whether the lake is considered impaired. He noted that stormwater management would be
provided through stormwater ponding and other infrastructure within this plan.
Grajczyk asked if any upgrades or improvements would be needed for Pinto Drive near 24.
Medina Planning Commission Excerpt from DRAFT 11/10/2020 Meeting Minutes

Sparks noted that a portion of the road would be reconstructed along with this project and the City
Engineer has provided comments. He stated that additional stormwater management is not required
for the improved section of roadway as it is already existing roadway that is just being improved.
Piper asked for details on the width of the new Pinto Drive that would go within the subdivision.
Donavan DesMarais, the applicant, replied that the roadway would range in width from 22 to 24 feet
as allowed by City Code. He stated that anywhere Pinto would connect to 24 and has been deemed
substandard would be made standard through improvement. He stated that they would also
reengineer a portion of the road that has been deemed substandard to meet the City requirements. He
stated that it will be a wider road all the way through which would serve the new homes along with
the two existing homes that are served by the shared gravel driveway. He stated that this
development would include large acreage lot ranging from 10 to 23 acres that would have rural feel.
He noted that the improvement work would be completed to Pinto Drive to make access to the
landlocked parcels.
Paul Otto, project engineer, stated that they are in the process of review from the watershed, noting
that their plans have been revised to incorporate the first round of suggestions from that entity. He
stated that they will improve ditch sections and culverts in order to handle stormwater. He stated that
within the development there would be a number of ponds, infiltration areas, and other stormwater
management elements to meet the City and watershed requirements. He stated that the road would be
paved and provided dimensional standards.
Grajczyk asked how soon the applicant would begin construction if this is approved.
DesMarais replied that due to seasonality they would postpone the start of this to late May when the
road restrictions are lifted. He estimated that the first home construction would begin in late summer
of 2021.
Nielsen asked if public safety has commented on the length of the cul-de-sac and whether there have
been concerns expressed.
Sparks replied that negative comments were not received from public safety.
Reid opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
Bruce Eidenshank, 2232 Pinto Drive, stated that there is a utility that runs through the front of his
property and asked if it has been considered to route that underground. He commented that there is a
wetland near his barn that drains to a ditch on the proposed development. He commented that when
the ditch backs up, it floods into his barn, and asked if there are plans to improve that with a culvert.
He referenced the Hennepin County park trails map, which appears to run through his property and
asked if there could be clarity provide on that diagram.
DesMarais commented that the utility easement for power would go underground and run along Pinto
Drive as it enters the subdivision, confirming that the overhead line would be replaced with the
underground system. He stated that they continue discussions with the watershed to ensure any
impact to wetlands would be mitigated. He stated that he is unsure of the source of backup to that
wetland mentioned but stated that perhaps there are things they can do with sitework that can address
that issue. He noted that they would not want to create or perpetuate existing issues.

Sparks commented that the trail plan is usually quite generalized and conceptual. He stated that the
City would look to provide a connection between two roads in a generalized areas. He explained that
as properties develop within the conceptual area, actual trail connections are identified. He noted that
the first diagram shows the conceptual trail plan while the second shows the actual proposed segment
that would connect to the road right-of-way.
Eidenshank asked if homeowners have to pay for the utility reconnections.
DesMarais replied that he did not imagine that there would be a cost to existing residents and any
potential costs would be of the developer.
John Ducharme, 2182 Pinto Drive, asked what the improvements would be for the north/south section
of Pinto Drive. He asked if the powerlines along that section of Pinto would also be buried.
Otto replied that they walked the site with City staff and acknowledged the challenging apron of the
resident. He stated that they designed around the end of that driveway, noting that they would match
into the decorative end of that driveway. He stated that they would raise the road to better match that
driveway. He stated that they will also add some fill on the west side to have the slope fall back
down. He commented that there would be a number of trees removed that are within the right-of-
way.
DesMarais replied that nothing on the northern property line would be buried. He noted that the
east/west line along the southern portion of the property would be buried.
Dave Truax, 355 Lakeview Road, asked if that is the only possible home site for lot four. He
commented that there is a ditch that runs where that home is shown as well and asked if that would be
filled or crossed with roadway.
Otto stated that the potential buyer could build anywhere on the property, but they would assume they
would want to be near the lake to take advantage of the views.
Truax commented that it would seem close to the existing lots for a large lot.
Otto replied that the proposed home site would match the City setbacks. He noted that the ditch was
not delineated as a wetland.
Reid closed the public hearing at 8:33 p.m.
Galzki commented that any concern that he had was addressed by the resident questions. He stated
that it is nice to see this subdivision with the larger lots that Medina is known for. He stated that this
appears to be an improvement overall.
Piper asked if there would be an association for the six homes.
DesMarais replied that there are no plans to have an association but there would be covenants in place
that would manage curbside aesthetics. He stated that the build range would begin at $1,500,000.
Piper commented that she lives on a road similar to the road proposed. She stated that if someone is
having lawn service, which parks on the road, it often blocks the road. She asked if that has been
brought to anyone’s attention.

Otto stated that they are using the City standards for road width and in his opinion that would be more
of something the City should review if that is an issue in the community.
Grajczyk stated that he would want to ensure that the street improvements involve the neighboring
property owners to ensure their concerns are addressed.
Couri commented that she believes that this project is consistent with the rural nature of the area.
Popp stated that it was good to hear the comments of the neighboring property owners. He stated that
the project seems logical and he has no concerns with the cul-de-sac as proposed.
Reid agreed that this would be a good type of development with the larger lots.
Motion by Piper, seconded by Couri, to recommend approval of the subdivision with the variance
subject to the conditions noted in the staff report.
A roll call vote was performed:
Nielsen aye
Galzki aye
Piper aye
Grajczyk aye
Couri aye

Holy Name Lake Estates Preliminary Plat – Park Dedication Review
Planning Consultant Nate Sparks provided a staff report for a subdivision review for
Holy Name Lake Estates located on Pinto Drive north of Holy Name Lake. The proposal
is to subdivide three parcels into 6 lots on approximately a 90-acre site with about 25
acres under the OHW of Holy Name Lake.
Sparks noted that the City’s Open Space plan identifies two areas of key natural
resources, which are moderate quality and will not be impacted by the development.
Sparks stated that the Park Dedication Ordinance requires dedication at the rate of 10%
land, 8% cash value of the land, or a combination thereof. This property comes back at
approximately 52 acres of buildable land, which would be a maximum of 5.2 acres of
park land dedication. The cash value is capped at the maximum $8,000 per lot, with three
new lots the cash amount would be $24,000.
Sparks noted that reviewing this property against the park and trail plan, shows a city trail
corridor and a regional trail corridor running north/south through the site. The applicant is
proposing a segment that goes east/west on the north part of the property and a segment
that runs between the properties totaling a 20-foot-wide trail corridor that would continue
along Pinto Drive.
Sparks stated that generally, what the applicant is proposing is acceptable in concept, but
staff is recommending some design flexibility by extending the east/west part across the
entirety of the north part of the lot, which gives ability to go through the site to Pinto
Road or go around and down in a different area to provide the maximum flexibility to
develop a more prominent regional trail in this area. Staff recommends a trail that is 25
feet in width due to regional significance and wider drainage and utility easements.
The Park Dedication Analysis shows that the trail corridors with adjusted widths are 0.93
acres, the additional northwest corridor is 0.25 acres for a total of 1.18 acres. This is
about 22.7% of the park dedication requirement with the remainder cash being $18,553
(77.3% of $24,000).
Thies asked for clarification on the location of the proposed trails on the property.
Scherer clarified that staff is recommending taking the entire northern edge of the
property in case another adjacent property develops, which might be better suited for the
regional trail.
Jacob noted that the regional trail was just in concept/planning phase and questioned
what the plan was for this property if a regional trail was not constructed? Scherer stated
the city’s local trail plan also shows a proposed trail running through this property.
Donavon DesMarais, the applicant, stated that they are trying to work with the city and
be considerate of the proposed trail corridor and be accommodating without it devaluing
Medina Park Commission Excerpt from DRAFT 10/21/2020 Meeting Minutes

the whole project by going through the middle of a lot. The applicant would prefer if the
trail did not go through the project at all if it worked for the trail to be on adjacent
property, but they would be open to having it go one way or the other by either going
north/south through the flag portion, or have the trail stay on the northern property line as
indicated in the staff recommendation.
Thies questioned about the extra width of the utility easements. Sparks stated that it
would be recommended to include in the motion, so the trail easement could be used for
what it was intended for.
There was consensus that the proposal seems to be logical and not overly intrusive, but
still allows flexibility for when the next parcels develop.
DesMarais asked when they would know what trail easement would be developed, so
future property owners could be assured that three-fourths of their lot lines were not
covered in trails. He questioned if the city would return some of the trail easements.
Scherer stated that the city has vacated easements in the past that were not needed, but
the city would not take any action until a trail corridor had been secured.
Jacobs asked for clarification on the location of the homes from the lot lines. The
applicant stated approximately 124 feet.
A motion was made by Thies and seconded by Sharp to recommend to the city council
that we have wider trail easements per the staff’s recommendation of at least 25 feet in
width when the trail is not adjacent to the roadway and at least 15 feet when adjacent,
that the grading plan for the road incorporate a bench for the trail, that there are wider
drainage and utility easements, and any remainder be provided as cash-in-lieu of land
dedication, which would be approximately 1.1 acres of trail corridor and a cash
remainder of 77.3% of the $24,000.
A roll call vote was taken:
Park Commissioner Ann Thies - aye
Park Commissioner Terry Sharp - aye
Park Commissioner Steve Lee - aye
Park Commissioner John Jacob – aye
Park Commissioner Troy Hutchinson – aye
Park Commissioner Mary Morrison – aye
Park Commissioner Angela Bernhardt – aye
Motion passed unanimously.

Medina, MN 55340-9790
Re: Holy Name Lake Estates Preliminary Plat Submittal – Engineering Review
WSB Project No. 016851-000
Dear Mr. Finke:
We have reviewed the Holy Name Lake Estates Preliminary Plat submittal and plans dated
September 11, 2020. The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into six single family
parcels.
The documents were reviewed for general conformance with the City of Medina’s general
engineering standards and Stormwater Design Manual. We have the following comments with
regards to engineering and stormwater management matters.
General/Preliminary Plat (Sheets 2-3)
1. Provide a soil boring and geotechnical report.
2. Show location of future regional trail easement/connection to the north.
Grading Plans (Sheets 5-6)
3. Number stormwater ponding locations and filtration basins on both the grading plans and
street/storm sewer plans.
4. Show existing and proposed driveway grades.
Street & Storm Sewer Plans (Sheets 7-9)
5. Provide a typical street section for the portion of Pinto Drive being reconstructed.
6. Consider use of catch basins instead of FES on upstream culvert locations.
7. Note cleanout locations within proposed ponding/infiltration areas. Upstream cleanouts
should be located at the edge of the pond.
Erosion Control/SWPPP (Sheets 10-13)
8. Provide confirmation of MCWD permit, NPDES permit and wetland permit coverage prior
to the start of construction.
9. Extend swale stabilization methods to encompass the entire length of the proposed
swales.

Stormwater Management & Modelling
10. The proposed development shall capture and retain 1.1” of runoff from new impervious.
The narrative indicates 1”.
11. Is the future trail included in the site’s overall impervious amounts?
12. For the stormwater pond/filtration pond combination at P2c, clarify the intent of the
western outlet pipe from the outlet control structure at elevation 996. At this elevation the
filtration pond would backflow and discharge. Therefore, the WQV of that filtration basin
would be from 995.5 to 996.
13. Provide a figure that clearly identifies the areas claiming enhancements to pervious areas
and tree preservation areas.
14. Review City of Medina Stormwater Design Manual for volume control credit specifics and
summarize how volume abstraction calculations apply to Medina requirements. Space
dedicated to meet volume control credit must not include required wetland buffer areas.
a. City of Medina allows a 0.75 in credit over an area that is undisturbed and
preserved. Area must be placed in a permanent conservation easement and a
long-term vegetation management plan shall be recorded.
b. City of Medina allows for 0.5 inches credit for increasing buffer areas around
streams, steep slopes, and wetlands in excess of requirements.
15. Provide sizing calculations for roadway culverts.
16. Provide HWL elevations at roadway culvert locations. Drainage easements shall
encompass the area to the calculated one foot above the 100-yr HWL.
17. At least 2 feet of vertical separation is required from an area’s EOF to the lowest opening
of a structure.
18. Driveway culverts are required as necessary.
Wetlands
19. The project appears to propose impacts to wetlands. All wetland impacts will need to be
permitted through the Wetland Conservation Act, US Army Corps of Engineers, and if
applicable Department of Natural Resources.
20. Revise wetland buffers as noted on the plan sheets. Proposed buffers are not wide
enough along two of the project wetlands.

Justification for Request for Variance
1. A variance for allowing a private street to exceed 750 feet in length is required as there
is no other way to access this property other than through Pinto Dr. The property does
not border or touch any other public or private streets thus eliminating any and all
alternative access-points. The applicant has exhausted any and all possible alternative
pathways into the land and none of those creative options are tangible. Over half of the
entire 90 acre property is landlocked whereby allowing a roadway into it then allows for
all of it to be accessed and utilized. With the concentration of several wetland areas and
its proximity near Holy Name Lake where this property abuts, there are only a few
specific pathways that minimize any impact on the land itself and that best pathway is
depicted in the preliminary plat herein. If this variance wasn’t granted the
applicant/owner would not be able to use and enjoy the property to the full extent of its
potential.
2. The conditions upon which the application for variance are based are unique to the
entire property as only one of the three parcels at present have access via any sort of
roadway. That current access is via a gravel private-drive where Pinto Dr terminates and
it currently serves two neighboring residences who have been given verbal easement
rights to access their properties through/over the subject property. Because two of the
three subject parcels are landlocked the only single way to gain access to the entire 90
acres is by extending Pinto Drive easterly into the parcels themselves. There likely isn’t
another example in the City of Medina where you find three parcels oriented/platted in
this fashion whereby two of the parcels are landlocked/inaccessible and the only way to
provide two neighboring properties access to their residences is by the subject property
owner granting to them an easement over his land. Also unique to the subject parcels is
that there are six building rights-entitlements that presently exist and those rights-
entitlements cannot be fulfilled without such an extension to Pinto Drive being
approved as proposed herein.
3. The hardship stems from the requirements of the regulations whereby a public road is
not intended to extend beyond 750 ft in length and end in a cul-de-sac. The current
condition of limited, restricted access was not created by any person presently or
formerly having an interest in the land. The three parcels were platted this way
originally many, many years ago. There are many exceptions within the City of Medina
that presently exist whereby public roadways exceed, often times greatly exceed, the
750 ft maximum rule provision/policy.
4. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcels of land are
located. In fact, granting of the variance will greatly improve the width and quality of
Pinto Dr where it presently is sub-standard while also garnering to its users/residents
future access to the North-South 1 Regional Trail Corridor which is implemented into
the proposed plat herein.

Chippewa Road/Weston Woods Page 1 of 2 November 17, 2020
Environmental Assessment Worksheet City Council Meeting
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director; through City Administrator Scott Johnson
DATE: November 12, 2020
MEETING: November 17, 2020 City Council
SUBJ: Chippewa Road Extension/Weston Woods EAW
Background
On September 15, 2020, the City Council authorized the release of the Chippewa Road/Weston
Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for agency review and public comment.
Completion of the EAW was required by state rules as a result of the wetland impacts which
would be necessary for the construction of Chippewa Road.
The purpose of an EAW is to summarize the potential environmental impacts of the project,
solicit feedback on the project and potential practices to mitigate impacts, and to ultimately
determine whether an additional Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary for
additional environmental review.
The comment period extended from September 28-October 28. No public comments were
received. Ten comments were received from the following governmental agencies:
The comments are attached to the end of the Record of Decision, which is attached for Council
review. None of the agencies recommended that an EIS is necessary.
Findings of Fact and Record of Decision
Attached, for City Council review and approval, is the draft document containing the Response
to Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision on the EAW.
When approved by Council, the document will include:
1. Responses to each comment received
2. Findings of fact on the EAW
3. Indication of the decision whether an EIS is required
The criteria for determining whether an EIS should be completed are described in Subp. 7 of
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 as follows:
“In deciding whether a project has the potential for significant environmental
effects, the following factors shall be considered: A. type, extent, and reversibility of environmental effects;
Agenda Item # 8B
Chippewa Road/Weston Woods Page 2 of 2 November 17, 2020
Environmental Assessment Worksheet City Council Meeting
§ B. cumulative potential effects. The RGU shall consider the following factors:
whether the cumulative potential effect is significant; whether the contribution
from the project is significant when viewed in connection with other contributions
to the cumulative potential effect; the degree to which the project complies with
approved mitigation measures specifically designed to address the cumulative
potential effect; and the efforts of the proposer to minimize the contributions from
the project; C. the extent to which the environmental effects are subject to mitigation by
ongoing public regulatory authority. The RGU may rely only on mitigation
measures that are specific and that can be reasonably expected to effectively
mitigate the identified environmental impacts of the project; and D. the extent to which environmental effects can be anticipated and controlled as a
result of other available environmental studies undertaken by public agencies or
the project proposer, including other EISs.”
While the project does introduce potential environmental impacts, staff believes the various
regulatory processes which will be required for the project provide adequate opportunity for
review of the impacts and mitigation measures. As noted above, none of the agencies
recommended an EIS.
Based upon the information within the EAW and the comments received, staff recommends that
an EIS is not required for the project.
Potential Action
Staff recommends the following actions:
1. Move to approve the Response to Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of
Decision
2. Move to adopt the resolution finding no need for an EIS for the Chippewa Road
Extension and Weston Woods EAW

INTRODUCTION
Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods are proposed on 139 acres of land in the northern part of
the City of Medina, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The project will include approximately 0.5 mile of
collector roadway, 108 attached residential units, 42 detached single-family lots, and 30,000 square feet
of commercial building space. Site development will include installation of municipal sewer and water,
mass grading, and construction of stormwater management systems. The project will convert about 41.9
acres of cropland, 14.2 acres of woodland, 4.8 acres of wetland, and 3.4 acres of grassland to suburban
uses, including streets, homes, lawns, landscaping, and stormwater basins. The project includes
preservation of approximately 55% of the site, including natural features such as grasslands, wetlands,
woodlands and natural habitat.
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared as required because of wetland impacts
proposed for the construction of Chippewa Road pursuant to Minnesota Rules Part 4410.4300, Subp.
27.B. (Public waters, public waters wetlands, and wetlands). The EAW and the respective comments
have been reviewed in accordance with Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 to determine if the project has
potential for significant environmental effects. This document includes responses to comments received
by City of Medina (City), the Findings of Fact supporting the decision, and the Record of Decision
indicating an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not necessary for this project.
EAW Notification, Distribution, and Comment Period
In accordance with Minnesota Rules 4410.1500, the EAW was completed and distributed to persons and
agencies on the official Environmental Quality Board (EQB) distribution list. The notification was
published in the EQB Monitor on September 28, 2020, initiating the 30-day public comment period. A
public notice or press release was submitted to the Crow River Newspaper. The comment period ended
on October 28, 2020.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
The City received 10 written comment letters from 9 public agencies:
1. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, September 24, 2020;
2. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission, October 6, 2020;
3. Minnesota Department of Transportation, October 21, 2020;
4. Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office, October 26, 2020;
5. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, October 27, 2020;
6. Hennepin County, October 28, 2020;
7. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (2 letters), October 28, 2020;
8. Metropolitan Council, October 28, 2020; and
9. City of Corcoran, October 28, 2020.
None of the comments recommended preparation of an EIS. The City of Medina did not receive
comments from individual residents, members of the public, or nonprofit organizations.
RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
This document responds to comments letters individually. It includes summaries of comments followed
by responses. Complete comment letters are included in Appendix A. Responses to comments are
generally confined to substantive issues that “address the accuracy and completeness of the material
contained in the EAW, potential impacts that may warrant further investigation before the project is
commenced, and the need for an EIS on the proposed project.” (MN Rules 4410.1600). Some comments
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
2
included general remarks, recommendations, or permit requirements. Such comments are noted for the
record.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Water Resources
The USACE submitted an acknowledgement letter to identify the USACE project number and file
number.
Response
The comment is noted. Wetland permit application(s) will be prepared and submitted to the USACE as
necessary.
Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC)
Permits and Approvals
The ECWMC will require application and approval of site plans in compliance to Rule D - Stormwater
Management, Rule E – Erosion and Sediment Control, Rule F – Floodplain Alteration, Rule G – Wetland
Alteration, Rule H - Bridge and Culvert Crossings, and Rule I - Buffer Strips. Table 3 only mentions
stormwater management and erosion control approvals.
Geology
The EAW referenced the 1989 Geologic Atlas of Hennepin County. The Hennepin County Geologic
Atlas was updated in 2018.
Wetland Buffers
The ECWMC requires average buffer widths of 25 feet with, a 10-foot minimum width, around all
wetlands and watercourses.
Wildlife and Ecological Resources
The Hennepin County Interactive Map at https://gis.hennepin.us/naturalresources/map/default.aspx
identifies three ecologically significant areas on the site. Two appear to be preserved, and a 3.08-acre
mesic oak forest will be destroyed according to the preliminary layouts. We would request the applicants
consider preservation of the oak forest area.
Response
Permits and Approvals
The comment is noted. Permit application(s) will be prepared and submitted to the ECWMC as
necessary. Table 3 has been updated, as Table 1 in the Findings of Fact section of this document, to
change “Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Approval” to “Overall Site Plan Approval.”
Geology
The reference the 1989 Geologic Atlas of Hennepin County was an error. The EAW should used and
should have referenced the Minnesota County Geologic Atlas Story Maps located at:
https://umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=45158d92cd88426598e2826abb565163.
The Hennepin County Geologic Atlas Story Maps use the 2018 Hennepin County Geologic Atlas data.
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet

Wetland Buffers
Wetland buffers will comply with ECWMC requirements. As shown in Table 11 of the EAW, avoided
wetlands will have minimum buffer widths of at least 20 feet.
Wildlife and Ecological Resources
The City acknowledges that Hennepin County Ecologically Significant Areas located within the EAW
area include:
1. a 1.61-acre moderate quality maple-basswood forest, which will be preserved as parkland;
2. about 9.54 acres of a 16.80-acre moderate quality cattail marsh, which will be preserved; and
3. a 3.08-acre moderate quality mesic oak forest that has been invaded by common buckthorn and
will be developed into parts of 11 residential lots and two streets.
Recognizing the natural resources on the site, the City completed a woodland assessment well before the
EAW was completed. A senior ecologist consultant reviewed woodlands on the site to advise the City on
woodland preservation priorities and balancing woodland preservation with public infrastructure and land
development. The woodland review found that, without management, the 3.08-acre oak forest would
likely transition to buckthorn/elm/basswood/ash due to oak mortality resulting from wind events, disease,
and old age. In contrast, review of the woodland to be preserved as parkland found that it had less
buckthorn and more young oak and maple trees regenerating in the understory. The review found that the
proposed tree preservation area provides the highest quality woodland with the least buckthorn and the
most tree regeneration.
The site design prioritizes preservation based on these findings, while accommodating development that
efficiently uses and supports surrounding infrastructure, responds to certain growth mandates placed upon
the City, and accommodates local preferences related to land use type and density limitations.
Impacts to the maple-basswood forest and surrounding woodlands as well as the cattail marsh have been
avoided.
Preservation of the 3.08-acre oak forest is not practicable because the 11 lots and street connections are
integral parts of the cohesive project design. As discussed in more detail under the response to Hennepin
County, the project will seek additional opportunities to preserve additional woodlands and will need to
comply with tree preservation and replacement requirements set forth under Section 828.41 of the Medina
City Code.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
Signal Operations
Regarding the Arrowhead Dr and MN 55 signalized intersection:
1. On page 168 in Appendix of the EAW, it states: “There may be a potential need to split the phase
of opposing left turning movements impact each other if the southbound dual left turn lane
configuration is considered.” To clarify, a split phase would not be allowed.
2. Turn templates will be needed to determine the feasibility of the southbound dual left turn on
Arrowhead Dr. This will be needed with or without widening Arrowhead Dr, and the
accompanying Level 2 layout.
3. Any lane reconfiguration would require additional/updated detection. Traffic signal pole mast
arms will need to be extended to align with intersection approach lanes, and flashing yellow
arrows would be needed for traffic entering MN 55.
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
4
Pedestrian/Bicycle
MnDOT encourages the trail along the east side of Arrowhead Dr to continue south so that it intersects
with MN 55. This would help form a continuous trail system on the east side of Arrowhead Dr. We also
encourage non-motorized connections between the developed residential units and the adjacent major
employers to give people the opportunity to have convenient travel mode choices. Consider connecting
the park trail located to the south of the Mohawk Dr/MN 55 intersection.
Permits
Any work that affects MnDOT right-of-way will require an appropriate permit from MnDOT.
Response
Signal Operations
The City of Medina will coordinate with MnDOT and Hennepin County on future improvements at
Arrowhead Drive and Highway 55.
Pedestrian/Bicycle
The extension of a multi-use trail is planned along the east side of Arrowhead Drive both north and south
of Highway 55.
Permits
Comment noted. The EAW project area does not include connections to MnDOT right-of-way.
Appropriate permits will be obtained for projects outside of the EAW area that affect MnDOT right-of-

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
Surface Waters
Additional in-water BMPs are required if the project impacts wetlands below the OHWLs. The EAW
should include the MPCA as a regulator of all surface waters as defined by Minn. Stat. 115.01 Subd. 22.
(Waters of the state). Even if surface waters do not fall under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
jurisdiction or are exempt from the Wetland Conservation Act, all surface waters are regulated by the
MPCA and any surface water impact described in the EAW may require mitigation.
The MPCA requires applicants for 401 Water Quality Certification to complete an Antidegradation form.
The Antidegradation form and Draft Certification must be public noticed by the MPCA.

Wastewater
A map showing the project sewer and downstream sewer path to the wastewater treatment plant would be
useful.
Stormwater
Because the project will disturb at least 50 acres of land, the SWPPP for the project will require review
and approval from the MPCA prior to obtaining MPCA NPDES General Construction Stormwater(CSW)
Permit coverage.
The EAW does not mention additional requirements for construction sites that drain to impaired waters.
The Project will be required to install additional BMPs during construction.
The CSW Permit requires maintenance of 50-foot undisturbed buffers adjacent to all surface waters or
redundant down gradient sediment control BMPs to protect these waters.
Wetlands on the site may not be utilized for treatment of stormwater unless they have gone through the
wetland mitigation process.
The MPCA General CSW Permit requires that volume reduction practices be considered first, prior to wet
sediment basins, for some or all water retention.
The project owner will need to ensure that lots sold to new owners such as contractors or homeowners
maintain CSW Permit coverage via use of the subdivision registration process.
Response
Surface Waters
Comment noted. The EAW noted the potential need for Section 401 Water Quality Certification or
Waiver from the MPCA. It is understood that waters of the state include all surface waters and that some
waters of the state serve stormwater storage, conveyance, or quality functions. The proposed project will
include a stormwater management system perpetuate those stormwater functions after development.
Wastewater
The EAW stated that wastewater from the project will be routed through the City of Medina sanitary
sewer system and ultimately to the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWWTP). The MWWTP
is located on the Mississippi River near Pig’s Eye Lake in St. Paul and is operated by Metropolitan
Council. The EAW further stated that the MWWTP is on the east bank of the Mississippi River,
approximately 3 miles south of downtown St. Paul, and that the City and Metropolitan Council have
planned for increased capacity to convey and treat sanitary wastewater. The EAW indicated wastewater
facilities are sufficient to treat anticipated demand, and therefore a map is not needed to address
environmental effects or comply with state rules or guidelines.
Stormwater
Permit requirements have been noted and shared with the project owner. The project will be required to
comply with the NPDES/SDS General Construction Stormwater (CSW) Permit. This is indicated under
Items 10.b and 11.b.ii of the EAW. The suitability of soils for infiltration will be assessed during project
engineering. Soils over uplands on the site include loams and clay loams, and the fine texture of these
soils is expected to limit the potential for infiltration. The project will consider water reuse of stormwater
for irrigation and other methods of volume reduction will be considered during engineering design for the
project. This approach will ensure compliance with requirements of the General NPDES/SDS Permit for

Construction Activities. The City acknowledges that the CSW Permit will require preservation of a 50-
foot natural buffer, or if such buffer is infeasible, redundant (double) perimeter sediment controls (e.g.,
silt fence), to protect wetlands and surface waters within 50 feet of earth disturbance during construction.
Hennepin County (County)
Land Use
What is the long-term plan for the upland acres in the north-central portion of the site? Are these slated
for development in future efforts or are these available for restoration or some long-term easement?
Restoring these acres could be considered as an offset to removing trees in other areas (with preference to
avoiding removal of native, good quality contiguous forestlands).
Stormwater
Using design storms based on historical rainfall is unlikely to be sufficient for the lifespan of the proposed
homes in this development. We strongly encourage using design storms that reflect recent record rainfall
patterns and future projected conditions and consider placement of buildings that are likely to not be in
conflict with future highwater levels.
The project area does not drain to County Ditch 16. The project drains north to an unnamed creek (DNR
Public Watercourse ID 27017a), then into South Fork Rush Creek just north of County Road 10. It then
drains NE to Rush Creek (confluence near Interstate 94), Elm Creek, and eventually the Mississippi
River.
Is there information on existing site drainage, such as drain tile, that could affect runoff rates? Existing
drain tile should be decommissioned during or as stormwater infrastructure to prevent future flooding
concerns. We encourage consideration of outside funding to exceed stormwater requirements.
Wetlands
Please specify what party is responsible for inspection and maintenance of buffers and how accountability
will be established. Can you specify where wetland credits will be purchased from?
Wildlife and Ecological Resources
Contiguous forest provides critical habitat and migratory space for numerous terrestrial species. Other
than Baker Park, only a handful of tracts of this size still exist in Medina. County staff encourages site
developers to find ways to maintain this wooded area for new and current Medina residents. In addition,
Medina City Code Section 828.41 states that no more than 10% of Significant Trees may be removed for
Initial Site Developments greater than 10 acres. This appears to be inconsistent with the proposed amount
of removal as shown in Figure 12. A Tree Preservation Plan should be added to the list of necessary
approvals in Table 3.
We disagree that the removal of tens of acres of grassland and forestland habitat wouldn’t have a
significant impact in wildlife habitat within the City of Medina. Removal of acres of forests and
destruction of the grassland has potential to cause displacement of species like migratory songbirds that
rely on woodlands for stopover habitat. These impacts should be more clearly stated.
Transportation
A dual left turn is assumed at Hwy 55 & Arrowhead and discussed in a “Visioning” study. This study also
mentioned the need to add capacity for the southbound left movement at Hwy 55 & Arrowhead. This
intersection is owned by MnDOT and would require their approval to do this.

Response
Land Use
As indicated in the text and on Figure 3 of the EAW, the upland area in the north-central portion of the
site is a potential borrow area. Soil excavated from this area may be used to help balance earthwork and
provide opportunities for compensatory floodplain storage. Following grading, the area will be restored
and provide additional preservation and habitat. Much of the area may be converted to open water
habitat, some more than six feet deep.
Stormwater
Final stormwater design for the project will follow industry standard protocols. Protocols have not yet
been developed to exceed industry standards. Atlas 14 precipitation frequency estimates have been used
to design the stormwater management features and establish flood elevations for this development. At this
time, Atlas 14 is the industry’s best available information for design and operating stormwater
infrastructure. At least two feet of vertical separation will be established between HWLs basins,
emergency overflow elevations, and lowest openings of nearby buildings. The ultimate overflow route
for the site is a large wetland complex that has a large capacity to attenuate extreme flow events. Water
from stormwater basins may be reused for irrigation. This practice is expected to help reduce stormwater
runoff volumes.
County Ditch 16 is labelled on part of the DNR watercourse, downstream from the project area and
upstream from the South Fork of Rush Creek, as shown on the National Map and USGS Topographic
Map (https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/advanced-viewer/).
Drain tiles are not known by the owner to occur onsite and were not observed onsite during the wetland
delineation. Drainage will be addressed in detail during final engineering. The possibility of state or
county grants for enhanced stormwater practices is noted.
Wetlands
The City of Medina will be responsible for construction inspection for compliance with wetland buffer
requirements. Once buffers are established, the Homeowners’ Association will be responsible for
wetland buffer maintenance, with oversight by the City of Medina.
Wetland credits will be purchased from approved wetland banks with available credits in appropriate
geographic area(s) at the time of wetland permit application and approval. Details are unknown at this
time.
Wildlife and Ecological Resources
Recognizing the natural resources upon the site, the City completed a woodland assessment well before
the EAW was completed. A senior ecologist consultant reviewed woodlands on the site to advise the City
on woodland preservation priorities and balancing woodland preservation with public infrastructure and
land development. The woodland review found that, without management, the 3.08-acre oak forest would
likely transition to buckthorn/elm/basswood/ash due to oak mortality resulting from wind events, disease,
and old age. In contrast, review of the woodland to be preserved as parkland found that it had less
buckthorn and more young oak and maple trees regenerating in the understory. The review found that the
proposed tree preservation area provides the highest quality woodland with the least buckthorn and the
most tree regeneration.
The site design prioritizes woodland preservation based on these findings, while accommodating
development that efficiently uses and supports surrounding infrastructure, responds to certain growth

mandates placed upon the City, and accommodates local preferences related to land use type and density
limitations.
The project proponent will need to submit a Tree Preservation Plan as part of the Preliminary Plat
application, which was listed in Table 3 of the EAW. The Tree Preservation Plan will need to comply
with tree preservation and replacement requirements set forth under Section 828.41 of the Medina City
Code. The project design is consistent with City land use plans for the area, which include extension of
municipal utilities and a collector roadway. The proposed design minimizes tree removal when compared
to an earlier development proposal. Opportunities for additional tree preservation practices will be
considered as project design and review advances. Such practices may include those listed in Section
828.41, Subd. 8 of the Medina City Code.
The project will convert about 41.9 acres of cropland, 14.2 acres of woodland, 4.8 acres of wetland, and
3.4 acres of grassland to suburban uses. The project is designed to impact mostly cropland and this design
helps minimize impacts on other more sensitive habitats like woodlands and wetlands. Nearly 55% of the
project site will be preserved in open space, including grasslands, woodlands, wetlands and natural
habitat. The City acknowledges that the habitat impacts may displace species like migratory songbirds.
See the Response to the MN DNR for additional discussion.
Transportation
Comment noted. The City is coordinating with MnDOT regarding intersections and turn lanes. See the
Response to MnDOT for more detail.

Permits and Approvals
A DNR Water Appropriation Permit is required for pumping both surface water (ponds and streams) and
groundwater. Pumping water from wetlands is not exempt from DNR permitting requirements because
wetland water is not stormwater from ponds constructed in upland areas.
Surface Waters
The DNR Public Water Wetland on the site is actually 27-493W (not 27-419W).
Stormwater
The increase in impervious surfaces will also increase the amount of road salt used in the project area.
Chloride released into local lakes and streams does not break down, and instead accumulates in the
environment, potentially reaching levels that are toxic to aquatic wildlife and plants. Consider promoting
local business and city applicator participation in the Smart Salting Training offered through the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Winter maintenance staff from cities and private companies have
attended Smart Salting training and used the knowledge to reduce salt use and save money.
Groundwater Appropriation
A DNR Water Appropriation Permit will be required for pumping water for irrigation in excess of 10,000
gallons per day, or one million gallons per year. A DNR Water Appropriation Permit may be needed to
construct roadway crossings of ditches and streams on the site.
Wetlands and Watercourses
Further discussion with DNR is needed regarding the anticipated impact to Public Waters. A modified
design that follows the existing Chippewa Road impact corridor could increase the likelihood of permit
approval.

Wildlife and Ecological Resources
The EAW states that there are 20 acres of woodland onsite, and the project would retain less than 30% of
that land cover. We recommend retaining more than 5.8 acres of remnant woodlands onsite. The forest
in the south half of the project area should be prioritized for retention. Leaving more can provide a great
value as source of outdoor activity and involvement for the residents living in this neighborhood.
Consider making a walking path through the park to encourage residents to get outdoors and enjoy their
neighborhood woods. Tree trimming and removal is discouraged April 1 through July 15 unless all cuts
and wounds on oaks are painted within 10 minutes with a water-soluble paint or shellac.
Part of the project area has been identified as a site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance by the
Minnesota Biological Survey. This site contains part of a Northern Wet Meadow/Carr native plant
community. Consider alternatives that avoid or minimize disturbance to this biodiversity site.
The project has the potential to impact Blanding’s turtles, a state-listed threatened species, through direct
fatalities or habitat disturbance/destruction due to dewatering, excavation, fill, or other activities. To
minimize and avoid Blanding’s turtles:
1. avoid working in Type 3 wetlands;
2. avoid bisecting wetlands with roadways;
3. avoid wetland impacts during turtle hibernation (October 15 to April 15) unless the area has water
less than 14 inches deep;
4. use surmountable curbs whenever new curbs are to be installed on roadways;
5. limit use of erosion control blankets ‘bio-netting’ or ‘natural netting’ types that do not contain
plastic components; and
6. note that hydro-mulch products may contain small plastic fibers that should not be used near
Public Waters.
The Blanding’s turtle flyer must be given to all contractors working in the area. Monitor for turtles
during construction and report any sightings to the DNR Nongame Specialist. If turtles are in imminent
danger, they must be moved out of harm’s way by hand.
Consider using native seed mixes in landscaping to provide habitat for the federally endangered rusty
patched bumble bee.
Trumpeter swans, a state-listed species of special concern, have been documented nesting in the vicinity
of the proposed project. Construction activities that occur during the nesting season, late April through
early June, could disrupt nesting swans if present.

The City reviews and implements educational and long-term chloride strategies set forth in the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area Chloride Management Plan (https://www.pca.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/wq-

private contractors as well as City staff. In addition, project developers and builders have the ability to
require that water softeners in new homes are metered by water use rather than by time, softening only
when necessary. Accordingly, chloride reduction strategies will be considered to the extent practicable.
Groundwater Appropriation

Wildlife and Ecological Resources
Recognizing the natural resources upon the site, the City completed a woodland assessment well before
the EAW was completed. A senior ecologist consultant reviewed woodlands on the site to advise the City

The site design prioritizes woodland preservation based on these findings, while accommodating
development that efficiently uses and supports surrounding infrastructure, responds to certain growth
mandates placed upon the City, and accommodates local preferences related to land use type and density
limitations.
The woodland in the southern part of the site was prioritized for protection, as the 7.15-acre mostly
wooded park will be located in this area and will include trails where residents will be able to appreciate
nature. The preferred July 16-March 31 season for tree trimming and removal is noted. The project
design minimizes tree removal to the extent practicable. Opportunities for additional tree preservation
may be identified during the final design process. Responses to the ECWMC and Hennepin County
include additional discussion on this topic.
The MN Biological Survey site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance is a sedge meadow located in the
northeastern part of the EAW area, and the proposed project area will completely avoid this area.
The EAW noted that the development could have effects on the state-threatened Blanding’s turtle, even
though the lack of sandy soils limits upland habitat suitability for Blanding’s turtles in the project area.
The development has been designed to minimize wetland impacts in part to minimize potential effects on
Blanding’s turtles. The project design will incorporate surmountable curbs and the construction process
will specify erosion control materials constructed of organic fibers rather than plastic. Blanding’s turtle
stipulations will be added to project construction plans with a Blanding’s turtle detail sheet that will:
1. specify use of surmountable curbs whenever new curbs are to be installed on roadways;
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
11
2. limit use of erosion control blankets to ‘bio-netting’ or ‘natural netting’ types that do not contain
plastic;
3. include the Blanding’s turtle flyer, noting that turtles observed during construction should be
moved to safe undisturbed habitat; and
4. include DNR Nongame Specialist contact information for reporting Blanding’s turtles if any are
observed.
Use of native seed mixes containing wildflowers beneficial to animal pollinators will be considered for
disturbed wetland buffer areas and the stormwater basin margins during detailed design.
The EAW noted that trumpeter swans, a state-listed special concern species, have been observed on
nearby water bodies. The seasonal vulnerability of nesting swans during late April-early June is noted.
As noted in the EAW, wetlands in the project area contain only small areas of open water and lack the
larger open water areas generally preferred by trumpeter swans. The EAW therefore concluded that the
project has low potential for disturbance of trumpeter swans and other waterfowl.

Trails
The Diamond Lake Regional Trail Search Corridor currently being master planned by Three Rivers Park
District has a potential trail route that travels north-south along Arrowhead Drive in Medina, immediately
adjacent to the proposed site development: https://www.letstalkthreerivers.org/diamond-lake-regional-
trail-master-plan. The City should coordinate future development activities in this location with Three
Rivers Park District to consider future routing of the Diamond Lake Regional Trail. Medina’s 2040
Comprehensive Plan calls for neighborhoods well connected with roads, trails, or sidewalks. Sidewalks
within the development provide better pedestrian facilities.
Permits and Approvals
Met Council needs to review, comment, and issue a non-objection decision relative to the MPCA
construction permit before connection can be made to the City’s wastewater disposal system. This should
be noted in Table 3 under Item 8 in the EAW.
Wildlife and Ecological Resources
Met Council staff recommends use of surmountable curbs on roadway medians and curbing to
accommodate movements of Blanding’s turtles and other wildlife.
Council staff recommends use of landscaping with native plants to support pollinators, wildlife, and
reduced chemical use. The development should provide a carbon sink to offset the increase in greenhouse
gas emissions from the additional natural gas and electricity production.

Trails
The City is actively involved with Three Rivers Park District in the Diamond Lake Regional Trail Master

and stormwater basin margins. See the response the MN DNR for more discussion on this topic.
City of Corcoran (Corcoran)
Trails and Traffic
As noted in our June 22, 2017 comments on your draft Comprehensive Plan, we hope that the City will
continue the trail planned on Mohawk all the way north to the municipal boundary. This trail connection
to the planned trail in Corcoran is even more important with the planned change to residential land use.
The connection (shown as Chippewa Road) to Arrowhead Drive to the east, as well as Mohawk Drive to
Horseshoe Trail to the north, will increase traffic through a corridor that is currently inadequate to handle
increased traffic. North and east bound traffic will also enter the Hackamore/CR116 intersection.
Improvements to this intersection and Hackamore Road are currently under study and this project will be
considered in development of the design for shared improvements.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Project Description
Proposed Project
Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods are proposed on 139 acres of land in the City of Medina,
Hennepin County, Minnesota. The project will include approximately 0.5 mile of collector roadway, 108
attached residential units, 42 detached single-family lots, and 30,000 square feet of commercial building
space. Site development will include installation of municipal sewer and water, mass grading, and
construction of stormwater management systems. The project will convert about 41.9 acres of cropland,
14.2 acres of woodland, 4.8 acres of wetland, and 3.4 acres of grassland to suburban uses, including
streets, homes, lawns, landscaping, and stormwater basins.
Site Description and Existing Conditions
The project area is dominated by cropland and wetland. The project area is roughly 45% wetland, 30%
cropland, 15% woodland, and 10% grassland and turf. Site topography ranges from rolling to flat. The
area has mostly loamy and organic soils and 30 feet of topographic relief.
Decision Regarding the Potential for Significant Environmental Effects
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, Subp. 7 lists four criteria that shall be considered in deciding whether a
project has the potential for significant environmental effects. Those criteria and the City’s findings are
presented below.
A. Type, Extent, and Reversibility of Environmental Effects
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 Subp. 7 (A) indicates the first factor that the City must consider is the “type,
extent, and reversibility of environmental effects.” The City’s findings are set forth below.
1. Cover Types. The project will convert about 64 acres of cropland, woodland, wetland, and
grassland to collector roadway, streets, homes, lawns, landscaping, and stormwater features.
After development, the project area will include about 75 acres of open space consisting of
wetlands, wetland buffers, parkland, and stormwater features. Avoided wetlands will be
protected by about 15 acres of buffers.
2. Shorelands and Floodplains. The project area is not within or adjacent to a wild and scenic
river, critical area, agricultural preserve, or shoreland overlay district. The project area includes
part of DNR public waters wetland 27-493W, which corresponds to a mapped floodplain.
Chippewa Road is expected to impact less than one acre-foot of flood storage and the residential
development is expected to be constructed on lands above existing flood elevations. Floodplain
storage mitigation for Chippewa Road will be incorporated into the stormwater management
systems of Weston Woods to minimize effects on regional flood elevations.
3. Land Use. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project is consistent with
the City of Medina 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which guides the northern part of the
area for Low Density Residential (LDR) use and the southern part of the site for a combination of
LDR and Medium Density Residential (MDR) use.
4. Geology and Soils. Development grading is expected to affect about 68 acres of land and
involve movement of about 275,000 cubic yards of soil to construct streets, residential areas, a
commercial area, a park with a trail, and stormwater features.
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
14
5. Water Quality. Compliance with stormwater requirements will minimize and mitigate potential
adverse effects on receiving waters. Project construction will add about 19.9 acres of impervious
surface to the site, consisting of streets, parking areas, buildings, and driveways. Stormwater
management practices will be implemented to manage stormwater from the increased impervious
surface area as required to control runoff rates, runoff volumes, and pollutants. Concentrations of
agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides, fertilizers, and sediment, may decrease after
development.
6. Wetlands and Surface Waters. The project has been designed to avoid and minimize effects on
wetlands to the extent practicable. Up to 4.81 acres of wetlands, watercourses, and ditches may
be impacted for roadways, stormwater basins and residential lot development. The project
proponents will be required to demonstrate compliance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation
Act, potentially the Minnesota Public Waters Act, and Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water
Act. These may require water appropriation permits, evaluation of alternatives, avoiding and
minimizing effects on wetlands, and replacing unavoidable wetland impacts at a 2:1 ratio.
7. Wastewater. The project is expected to produce normal domestic wastewater that is typical of
residential and commercial developments. The City and Metropolitan Council have planned for
sufficient wastewater conveyance and treatment capacity to serve the proposed development.
8. Hazardous Materials. Much of the project area has been used as cropland since at least the
1930s. The site is not known to include environmental hazards. One water well, known to
previously exist on the site, has been sealed and abandoned. The agricultural land use history
suggests a low potential for environmental contamination.
9. Ecological Resources. Project development will convert about 64 acres of cropland, woodland,
wetland, and grassland to collector roadway, streets, homes, lawns, landscaping, and stormwater
features. This habitat conversion is expected affect the number and type of wildlife species in the
area, but changes in wildlife abundance are not expected to be regionally significant. The site
design prioritizes preservation based on site analysis while accommodating development that
efficiently uses and supports surrounding infrastructure, responds to certain growth mandates
placed upon the City, and accommodates local preferences related to land use type and density
limitations.
10. Historic Resources. A Phase I Archaeological Survey completed for the project area in
September 2019 found no previously documented sites within the project area. A site survey
consisted of a surface survey over plowed fields and shovel testing in higher probability areas like
uplands next to wetland. No prehistoric cultural resources were documented during the site
survey. The project is not expected to adversely affect archaeological or historic resources. The
State Historic Preservation Office concluded there are no known or suspected archaeological
properties in the area that will be affected by this project.
11. Visual Resources. There are no scenic views or vistas on or adjacent to the project area.
Substantial effects on visual resources are not anticipated in conjunction with project
development.
12. Air Quality. Estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the project are not considered to
cause potential for significant environmental effects. There are no readily available GHG
emission estimates that show a comparably sized Minnesota project with potential to exceed the
mandatory EAW threshold of 100,000 tons of CO2e per year (Minnesota Rules Part 4410.4300,
Subp. 15.B.).
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
15
13. Noise. Local noise levels are expected to increase temporarily during project construction, but
noise levels are expected to be at or near existing levels after construction is complete. Noise
levels are not anticipated to exceed state standards. Noise generated by construction equipment
and residential building construction will be limited primarily to daylight hours when noise levels
are commonly higher than at night.
14. Transportation. The traffic to be generated by the proposed project does not raise capacity or
safety concerns. The Traffic Study concluded that extension of Chippewa Road will result in
improved operations at the Willow Drive and Arrowhead Drive intersections with TH 55. When
accompanied by extension of Chippewa Road, the proposed development will not reduce the
Level of Service (LOS) at area intersections.
15. Climate Change. The project will be affected by climate change and it will also make an
incremental contribution to climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases. These
effects are similar to comparable developments, as everything on earth either contributes to
climate change, is impacted by climate change, or both.
B. Cumulative Potential Effects
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 Subp. 7 (B) indicates the second factor the City must consider is “whether
the cumulative potential effect is significant; whether the contribution from the project is significant when
viewed in connection with other contributions to the cumulative potential effect; the degree to which the
project complies with approved mitigation measures specifically designed to address the cumulative
potential effect; and the efforts of the proposer to minimize the contributions from the project.” The
City’s findings are set forth below.
Projects typically combine to produce cumulative effects on municipal resources like water supply and
wastewater treatment. The City of Medina has planned for growth and increased capacity to address
these cumulative effects. The proposed project will be consistent with land use policies for areas served
by municipal sewer and water.
Cumulative effects of residential development on natural resources may include the loss of agricultural
land and the loss and fragmentation of wildlife habitat. Surface water runoff from the project area will
infiltrate into the soil or be treated in basins prior to discharge to wetlands and streams. Stormwater
regulations and water quality BMPs are expected to minimize cumulative effects of post-development
runoff on downstream waters.
Climate change impacts are incremental and cumulative in nature. Land development contributes to
climate change primarily through combustion of fossil fuels for space heating, electricity, and
transportation. Energy efficient building materials, appliances, utility-sponsored renewable energy
programs, are intended to reduce climate change impacts.
C. Extent to Which the Environmental Effects are Subject to Mitigation
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 Subp. 7 (C) indicates the third factor the City must consider is the “extent to
which the environmental effects are subject to mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority.” The
City’s findings are set forth below.
Environmental effects on surface waters, wetlands, wastewater, and traffic are subject to additional
approvals and/or mitigation through requirements of local, state, and federal regulations, ordinances,
management plans, and permitting processes. The following permits and approvals are required for the
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
16
project addressed under the EAW. These processes will provide additional opportunity to require
mitigation.
Potential environmental effects associated with this project will be mitigated in accordance with
applicable rules and regulations. The City of Medina therefore finds that potential environmental effects
of the project are less than significant and “subject to mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority.”

D. Extent to Which Environmental Effects can be Anticipated and Controlled
Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 Subp. 7 (D) indicates the final factor the City must consider is the “extent to
which environmental effects can be anticipated and controlled as a result of other environmental studies
undertaken by public agencies or the project proposer, including other EISs.” The City’s findings are set
forth below.
Record of Decision – Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
17
1. The proposed project design, plans, EAW, related studies, and mitigation measures apply
knowledge, approaches, standards, and best management practices gained from previous
experience and projects that have, in general, successfully mitigated potential offsite
environmental effects.
2. The EAW, in conjunction with this document, contains or references known studies that provide
information or guidance regarding environmental effects that can be anticipated and controlled.
3. Other projects studied under environmental reviews in Minnesota have included studies and
mitigation measures comparable to those included in this EAW.
4. There are no elements of the project that pose the potential for significant environmental effects
that cannot be addressed by project design, assessment, permitting and development processes
and by ensuring conformance with regional and local plans.
5. The environmental effects of this development can be anticipated and controlled by the City’s
PUD application and review process and other regulatory processes.
6. Considering the results of environmental review and permitting processes for similar projects, the
City of Medina finds that the environmental effects of the project can be adequately anticipated
and controlled.
Based on the EAW, comments received, responses to comments, and criteria above, the City of Medina
finds that the Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods project does not have potential for
significant environmental effects and does not require the preparation of an EIS.
RECORD OF DECISION
Based on the EAW, the response to comments, and the Findings of Fact, the City of Medina, the RGU for
this environmental review, concludes the following:
1. The EAW was prepared in compliance with the procedures of the Minnesota Environmental
Policy Act and Minnesota Rules, Parts 4410.1000 to 4410.1700;
2. The EAW satisfactorily addressed the issues for which existing information could have been
reasonably obtained;
3. Based on the criteria established in Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, the project does not have the
potential for significant environmental effects;
4. The City makes a “Negative Declaration;” and
5. An EIS is not required.

Subject: Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission comments, Chippewa Road Extension and
Weston Woods EAW (2020-031)
On behalf of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) and Barr Engineering and,
please accept the following comments on the Chippewa/Weston Woods EAW in Medina.
This review covers the EAW’s general compliance to the ECWMC Stormwater Management Plan,
Appendix C, Rules and Standards and various comments as they relate to the natural resources on
this site.
1) Page 5, Table 3, Permits and Approvals Required. The ECWMC will require an application and
approval on the site plans for these developments and improvements. We will require
compliance to Rule D - Stormwater Management, Rule E – Erosion and Sediment Control, Rule f
– Floodplain Alteration, Rule G – Wetland Alteration, Rule H - Bridge and Culvert Crossings, and
Rule I - Buffer Strips. Table 3 only mentions stormwater management and erosion control
approvals.
2) Pages 8 and 9 Section 10, Geology. This section makes reference to the 1989 MN Geological
Survey. Hennepin County and the MN Geological Survey updated the Hennepin Geological Atlas
in 2018. You can find a copy of said updates at
https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/200919
3) Page 22, Wetland Buffers. The ECWMC requires buffer around all wetland and watercourses
on site. Regardless of classification or MN RAM equivalent, the Commission requires a 25
foot average buffer width and a 10 foot minimum width. There are exceptions available for
linear projects such as roadways. Please refer to Rule I in Appendix C of the Commission’s
Rules and Standards.
4) Page 30, Section 12. Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities and Sensitive Ecological Resources
(Rare Features). The Hennepin County Department of Environmental Services identifies three
ecologically significant areas on these parcels. Please refer to the Hennepin County
Interactive Map at https://gis.hennepin.us/naturalresources/map/default.aspx. Two of the
areas appear to be preserved in the preliminary tree preservation and wetland plans. One area
identified as 3.08 acres of Oak forest mesic subtype will be destroyed according to the preliminary
layouts. We would request the applicants consider preservation of this Oak forest area.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this EAW. Please contact me if you have any questions
on this information.
Sincerely
James C. Kujawa

N of MN 55 between Mohawk and Arrowhead Dr
Control Section: 2722
City of Medina, Hennepin County
Dear Dusty Finke,
Thank you for submitting the Chippewa/Weston Woods EAW. The Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) has reviewed the documents, received 9/23/20, and has the following
comments:
Signal Operations
There are additional comments regarding the Arrowhead Dr and MN 55 signalized intersection.
1. In the 9/25/19 minutes of the MnDOT Signals Coordination Meeting (EAW p. 168), it is stated
“There may be a potential need to split the phase of opposing left turning movements impact
each other if the southbound dual left turn lane configuration is considered.” To clarify, a split
phase would not be allowed.
2. Turn templates will be needed to determine the feasibility of the southbound dual left turn on
Arrowhead Dr. This will be needed with or without widening Arrowhead Dr, and the
accompanying Level 2 layout.
3. Any lane reconfiguration would require additional/updated detection. Traffic signal pole mast
arms will need to be extended to align with intersection approach lanes, and flashing yellow
arrows would be needed for traffic entering MN 55.
Please contact Mike Fairbanks, Signal Operations, at 651-234-7819 or mike.fairbanks@state.mn.us with
any questions.
Pedestrian/Bicycle
MnDOT encourages the trail along the east side of Arrowhead Dr to continue south so that it intersects
with MN 55. There are trail segments on the east side of Arrowhead Dr, south of MN 55. This trail
segment would help form a continuous trail system on the east side of Arrowhead Dr. We also
encourage non-motorized connections to be made between the developed residential units and the
adjacent major employers to give people the opportunity to have convenient travel mode choices.
Consider connecting the park trail located to the south of the Mohawk Dr/MN 55 intersection.
Please contact Jesse Thornsen, MnDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning, at 651-234-7788 or
jesse.thornsen@state.mn.us with any questions.

Re: Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods Environmental Assessment Worksheet
Dear Dusty Finke:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet
(EAW) for the Chippewa Road Extension project (Project) in the city of Medina, Hennepin County,
Minnesota. The Project consists of an extension of Chippewa Road and a residential development.
Regarding matters for which the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has regulatory
responsibility or other interests, the MPCA staff has the following comments for your consideration.
Water Resources (Item 11)
Surface Water
· The Project may impact wetlands below the Ordinary High Water Levels (OHWLs). If that is the case,
then additional in-water best management practices (BMPs) are required. These BMPs may include:
construction during low flows/winter conditions, coffer dams, floating silt curtains, etc.
· The Wetland Delineation was prepared as required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). No U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE)
jurisdictional determination was requested or prepared for the Project. However, in accordance
with Minnesota statutes, the Chippewa Road Extension EAW should include the MPCA as a regulator
of all surface waters as defined by Minn. Stat. 115.01 subd. 22. Waters of the state. "Waters of the
state" means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs,
aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other bodies or accumulations of water,
surface or underground, natural or artificial, public or private, which are contained within, flow
through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof. Even though there may be surface waters
that are determined to be USACE non-jurisdictional, or exempt from WCA, all surface waters are
regulated by the MPCA and any surface water impact needs to be described in the application, and
may require mitigation. For further information about the 401 Water Quality Certification process,
please contact Bill Wilde at 651-757-2825 or William.wilde@state.mn.us.
Wastewater
· A map showing the Project sewer and downstream sewer path to the wastewater treatment plant
would be useful.
Stormwater
· Because the Project will ultimately disturb at least 50 acres of land, the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the Project will require review and approval from the MPCA prior to
obtaining MPCA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System General
Construction Stormwater Permit (CSW Permit) coverage.
Dusty Finke
Page 2
October 27, 2020
·The EAW does not mention the need for additional requirements for construction sites that drain to
impaired waters. The Project will be required to install additional BMPs during construction,
including stabilizing unworked soils within 7 days of temporarily or permanently ceasing soil
disturbing activity on any portion of the site.
·The site contains multiple wetlands and watercourses. The CSW Permit requires maintenance of
undisturbed areas of at least 50 feet of existing buffers adjacent to all surface waters. If the buffer
cannot be maintained, then redundant down gradient sediment control BMPs will be required to
protect these waters.
·The EAW states wet sediment basins will be constructed. It is important to note that the wetlands
on the site may not be utilized for treatment of stormwater unless they have gone through the
wetland mitigation process.
·The MPCA General CSW Permit requires that a volume reduction practice is considered first prior to
resorting to use of wet sediment basins for at least some or all of the water retention. Wet sediment
basins are not considered volume reduction practices. If soils at the site prohibit use of infiltration,
consider other volume reduction practices including water harvest and reuse, measures to reduce
impervious surfaces such as making streets and sidewalks narrower, use of pervious pavements,
installing green roofs, and/or tree trenches or bioretention areas within parking areas, maximize use
of green space throughout the site, and preserve as many trees as possible to absorb stormwater.
An effort should also be made to prevent soil compaction during construction and preserve soil
health to promote infiltration. Also utilize deep-rooted native vegetation where possible to help
infiltrate stormwater. These measures also help to prevent downstream flooding as discussed in the
EAW.
·Because the Project will be phased over 5 – 10 years, the Project owner will be responsible to
ensure that lots sold to new owners (such as contractors or home owners) maintain CSW Permit
coverage via use of the subdivision registration process and that new owners receive a SWPPP for
the remaining construction on their site. Please direct questions regarding CSW Permit
requirements to Roberta Getman at 507-206-2629 or Roberta.Getman@state.mn.us.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this Project. Please provide your specific responses to our
comments and notice of decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. Please be aware
that this letter does not constitute approval by the MPCA of any or all elements of the Project for the
purpose of pending or future permit action(s) by the MPCA. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the
Project proposer to secure any required permits and to comply with any requisite permit conditions. If
you have any questions concerning our review of this EAW, please contact me by email at
Karen.kromar@state.mn.us or by telephone at 651-757-2508.

Re: Comments to the Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods EAW as advertised in
the EQB Monitor September 28, 2020
Dear Mr. Finke:
This letter provides our comments to the above noted EAW for the Chippewa Road Extension
and Weston Woods project in Medina. The project is planned to include approximately 0.5 mile
of collector roadway, 108 attached residential units, 42 detached single-family lots, and 30,000
square feet of commercial building space. Site development will include removal of an existing
building site, grading, and installation of municipal sewer and water, streets, and stormwater
systems.
General Comment
Especially relevant to Appendix A, Figure 8, EAW page 7, Stormwater Narrative page 4
(Table 6) - Using design storms based on historical rainfall is unlikely to be sufficient for
the lifespan of the proposed homes in this development. When planning and reviewing
new developments, we strongly encourage using design storms that reflect recent
record rainfall patterns and future projected conditions and consider placement of
buildings that are likely to not be in conflict with future highwater levels.
Question 2. Page 6, and
Question 11. Page 17
The project area does not drain to County Ditch 16. The project drains north to an
unnamed creek (DNR Public Watercourse ID 27017a), then into South Fork Rush Creek
just north of County Road 10. It then drains NE to Rush Creek (confluence near
Interstate 94), Elm Creek, and eventually the Mississippi River.
Question 11. Figure 3
What is the long-term plan for the upland acres in the north-central portion of the site?
Are these slated for development in future efforts or are these available for restoration
or some long-term easement? Restoring these acres could be considered as an offset to
removing trees in other areas (with preference to avoiding removal of native, good
quality contiguous forestlands).
Question 11. Page 17
Regarding Pre-Construction Runoff, is there any information or data on current site
drainage (namely, drain tile) that will change pre- and (potentially) post-construction
runoff rate and direction? If not, please note that data are not available. Any existing
drain tile should be either decommissioned during construction or addressed specifically
as stormwater infrastructure (especially in terms of ownership and maintenance
responsibilities) in order to prevent future flooding concerns if/when any remaining
drain tile ceases to function due to lack of maintenance. The current owner of this
property should have access to those records through the local USDA office.
Given the county, the city, and the Elm Creek Watershed's current shared focus on
improving water quality in the Rush Creek subwatershed, a stormwater plan that simply
meets requirements seems short-sighted. We encourage the city and the developer to
consider how this project might leverage outside funding sources (county, State grants)
to exceed stormwater requirements, thereby contributing to shared goals to improve
water quality in Rush Creek and downstream water resources. This seems especially
important given the likelihood that wetland impacts will be mitigated using bank credits
from outside of this subwatershed. Hennepin County would be a willing and eager
partner to explore options to exceed stormwater requirements.
Question 11. Page 22
Please specify what party is responsible for inspection and maintenance of buffers and
how accountability will be established.
Question 11. Page 25
Can you specify where wetland credits will be purchased from? The necessary wetland
credits may not be available in Hennepin County at the time they're needed for
mitigation.
Question 11. Page 30
The 15 acres of contiguous forest, adjacent to other smaller (up to 5 acre) tracts,
provides critical habitat and migratory space for numerous terrestrial species. Other
than Baker Park, only a handful of tracts of this size still exist in Medina. County staff
encourages site developers to find ways to maintain this wooded area for the benefit of
new and current Medina residents. In addition, Per City of Medina Code Section 828.41:
no more than 10% of Significant Trees may be removed for Initial Site Developments
greater than 10 acres. This appears to be inconsistent with the proposed amount of
removal as shown in Figure 12. A Tree Preservation Plan should be added to the list of
necessary approvals in Table 3 and design elements must consider the limitations of
tree removal as determined by a Forestry Specialist and as approved by City Council.
Question 13. Page 32
We disagree that the removal of tens of acres of grassland and forestland habitat
wouldn't have a significant impact in wildlife habitat within the City of Medina. This area
is 64 acres of open space, and is therefore, not a small area. Nor is it an existing
suburban development, as alluded in text on page 32. Rather, it is on the edge of the
exurbs. Removal of acres of forests and destruction of the grassland has potential to
cause displacement of species like migratory songbirds that rely on woodland areas for
stopover. These impacts should be more clearly stated.
Question 18. Pages 44 and 45
A dual left turn is assumed at Hwy 55 & Arrowhead and discussed in a “Visioning”
study. This study also mentioned the need to add capacity for the southbound left
movement at Hwy 55 & Arrowhead. This intersection is owned by MnDOT and would
require their approval to do this. Make sure MnDOT is aware of this recommendation.
We appreciate your consideration of Hennepin County comments at this time and look forward
to your response. If you have any questions, please contact me a 612-348-5714 or

Dear Mr. Finke,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods EAW. The
DNR respectfully submits the following comments for your consideration:
1. Page 6, Permits and Approvals. The DNR wishes to remind the proposer that a DNR Water
Appropriation Permit is required for the pumping of both surface water (ponds and streams)
and groundwater. Please note that the pumping of water from the wetlands on the site is not
exempt from DNR Permitting Requirements because the wetland water is not stormwater
(from functional ponds constructed in upland areas).
2. Page 11, Water Resources. The DNR Public Water Wetland on the site is actually 27-493W (not
27-419W).
3. Page 17, Stormwater. The planned increase in impervious surfaces will also increase the
amount of road salt used in the project area. Chloride released into local lakes and streams
does not break down, and instead accumulates in the environment, potentially reaching levels
that are toxic to aquatic wildlife and plants. Consider promoting local business and city
applicator participation in the Smart Salting Training offered through the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency. More information and resources can be found at this website. Many winter
maintenance staff who have attended the Smart Salting training — both from cities and
counties and from private companies — have used their knowledge to reduce salt use and save
money for their organizations.
4. Page 19, Stormwater. DNR is pleased that water from stormwater ponds will be used for
irrigation.
5. Page 20, Groundwater Appropriation. A DNR Water Appropriation Permit will be required for
the pumping of water from a well for irrigation of the landscaping in volumes that exceed
10,000 gallons per day, or one million gallons per year. During a period of drought, an area of
40.7 acres of landscaping would use approximately 28 million gallons of water per year for
irrigation.
6. Page 23, Wetlands. Due to the anticipated impact to Public Waters, the current project design
could be difficult to permit. A modified design that follows the existing impact corridor would
make a permit more likely. Further discussion with DNR is needed.
7. Page 28, Ditch and Watercourse. Depending on the design of the crossing, a DNR Water
Appropriation Permit may be needed to construct the crossings of the ditches and streams on
the site, should it involve the pumping of more than 10,000 gallons per day, or one million
gallons of water per year.
8. Page 30, Section 13. DNR appreciates that the project plans to retain 5.8 ac of woodlands as a
park in this proposed development. However, we would like to stress the importance of
retaining as much of the existing woodland in the project area as possible. The EAW states that
there are 20 acres of woodland currently on site, and the project would be retaining less than
30% of that land cover. This project area is located in the Big Woods ecological subsection and
is a Regionally Significant Ecological Area and Corridor that connects two Minnesota Biological
Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance. This region of the state once had vast areas of
contiguous forest and wetlands, which in the more recent past have been converted to non-
forested/natural land uses. When looking at a landscape view of the project site from a 2019
air photo, you can see that very little natural area remains today of this Big Woods
landscape. It is important keep the remnants of this natural heritage intact, to the greatest
extent possible. Albeit small and fragmented, these remnant forests are still important habitat
for plants, animals, and humans.
o We recommend retaining more than 5.8 ac of remnant woodlands onsite.
The forest in the south half of the project area should be prioritized for
retention. It is best to leave the woodland area in the largest extent possible so
that remnant fragments do not become smaller over time, can better buffer
activities from other land-uses, and provide more habitat for plants and animals
that live in the Big Woods.
We appreciate that the project proposer has plans to leave the remnant forest
around the large wetland in the southern half of the project. Transition zones
between wetland and upland are important habitat zones too.
o Remnant forested areas are great places to get the community involved with caring for
their woodland habitat and other benefits it provides. These remnant forests are a rare
gem in developed areas in the Twin Cities metro region.
Leaving more forest in the designated Weston Woods Park area can provide a
great value as source of outdoor activity and involvement for the residents living
in this neighborhood.
Consider making a walking path through the park to encourage residents to get
outdoors and enjoy their neighborhood woods.
Community members can become stewards of their woods by volunteering to
control buckthorn and other invasive plants—thereby improving the habitat
value for all that live there.
9. Tree trimming and removal is discouraged April 1 through July 15 unless all cuts and wounds on
oaks (Quercus spp.) are painted within 10 minutes with a water soluble paint or shellac. The
outer three growth rings and bark should be totally covered with paint. Information about oak
wilt prevention can be found at the DNR’s website.
10. Type 3 wetlands occur in the project area and could provide habitat for the state-listed
threatened Blanding’s turtle, which has been documented in the project vicinity. In order to
avoid potential impacts, these wetlands should not be dredged, deepened, filled, or converted.
Avoid working in these wetlands during the winter because of their potential as overwintering
habitat for the Blanding’s turtle. Please refer to the October 28, 2020 NHIS letter for further
recommendations regarding the Blanding’s turtle as well as the Trumpeter swan, a state-listed
species of special concern that has been documented in the project vicinity.
11. Surmountable curbs should be used whenever new curbs are to be installed. New roads should
not be installed where they bisect wetlands or between closely spaced wetland features if
possible. MN DNR and partner Data has shown these are the areas with the greatest
concentration of road mortality for wildlife species including turtles. If impossible to avoid,
contact Erica Hoaglund, Nongame Wildlife Specialist (Erica.hoaglund@state.mn.us), for BMPs.
12. Due to entanglement issues with small animals, use of erosion control blankets should be

RE: Natural Heritage Review of the proposed Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods,
T118N R23W Section 3; Hennepin County
Dear Mr. Bouta,
As requested, the Minnesota Natural Heritage Information System has been queried to determine if any
rare species or other significant natural features are known to occur within an approximate one-mile
radius of the proposed project. Based on this query, rare features have been documented within the
search area (for details, please visit the Rare Species Guide Website for more information on the biology,
habitat use, and conservation measures of these rare species). Please note that the following rare
features may be adversely affected by the proposed project:
Ecologically Significant Areas
• A portion of the proposed project is within an area the Minnesota Biological Survey (MBS) has
identified a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance. Sites of Biodiversity Significance have
varying levels of native biodiversity and are ranked based on the relative significance of this
biodiversity at a statewide level. Sites ranked as Moderate contain occurrences of rare species
and/or moderately disturbed native plant communities, and/or landscapes that have a strong
potential for recovery. This particular Site contains Northern Wet Meadow/Carr native plant
community. (GIS shapefiles of MBS Sites of Biodiversity Significance and DNR Native Plant
Communities can be downloaded from the MN Geospatial Commons. Please contact me if you
do not have access to the appropriate mapping services.)
Page 2 of 4
We encourage you to consider project alternatives that would avoid or minimize disturbance to
this ecologically significant site. Actions to minimize disturbance may include, but are not limited
to, the following recommendations:
o Minimize vehicular disturbance in the MBS Site (allow only vehicles/equipment necessary
for construction activities);
o Do not park equipment or stockpile supplies in the MBS Site;
o Do not place spoil within MBS Site or other sensitive areas;
o Retain a buffer between proposed activities and the MBS Site;
o If possible, conduct the work under frozen ground conditions;
o Use effective erosion prevention and sediment control measures;
o Inspect and clean all equipment prior to bringing it to the site to prevent the introduction
and spread of invasive species;
o As much as possible, operate within already-disturbed areas;
o Revegetate disturbed soil with native species suitable to the local habitat as soon after
construction as possible; and
o Use only weed-free mulches, topsoils, and seed mixes. Of particular concern are birdsfoot
trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and crown vetch (Coronilla varia), two invasive species that are
sold commercially and are problematic in prairies and disturbed open areas.
State-listed Species
• Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator), a state-listed species of special concern, have been
documented nesting in the vicinity of the proposed project. During the breeding season,
trumpeter swans select small ponds and lakes with extensive beds of cattails, bulrush, sedges,
and/or horsetail. Ideal habitat includes about 100 m of open water for take-off, stable levels of
unpolluted water, emergent vegetation, low levels of human disturbance, and the presence of
muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) houses and American beaver (Castor canadensis) lodges for use as
nesting platforms. If any of the wetlands on site provide suitable habitat, swans may choose to
nest in these wetlands. Construction activities that occur during the nesting season, late April
through early June, could disrupt nesting swans if present.
• Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), a state-listed threatened species, have been reported
from the vicinity of the proposed project and may be encountered on site. Blanding’s turtles use
upland areas up to and over a mile distant from wetlands, waterbodies, and watercourses.
Uplands are used for nesting, basking, periods of dormancy, and traveling between wetlands.
Factors believed to contribute to the decline of this species include collisions with vehicles,
wetland drainage and degradation, and the development of upland habitat. Any added fatality
can be detrimental to populations of Blanding’s turtles, as these turtles have a low reproduction
rate that depends upon a high survival rate to maintain population levels.
Page 3 of 4
This project has the potential to impact this rare turtle through direct fatalities or habitat
disturbance/destruction due to dewatering, excavation, fill, or other construction activities
associated with the project. Actions to avoid or minimize disturbance to this state-protected
turtle may include, but are not limited to, the following recommendations:
o Avoid wetland impacts during hibernation season, between October 15th and April 15th,
unless the area is unsuitable for hibernation:
less than 14 inches deep,
anoxic conditions, or
not a suitable substrate.
o The Blanding’s turtle flyer must be given to all contractors working in the area.
o The use of erosion control blanket shall be limited to ‘bio-netting’ or ‘naturalnetting’
types, and specifically not products containing plastic mesh netting or other plastic
components.
Also, be aware that hydro-mulch products may contain small synthetic (plastic)
fibers to aid in its matrix strength. These loose fibers could potentially re-suspend
and make their way into Public Waters. As such, please review mulch products
and not allow any materials with synthetic (plastic) fiber additives in areas that
drain to Public Waters.
o Monitor for turtles during construction and report any sightings to the DNR Nongame
Specialist, Erica Hoaglund at 651-259-5772 or Erica.Hoaglund@state.mn.us.
o If turtles are in imminent danger they must be moved by hand out of harm’s way,
otherwise they are to be left undisturbed.
For additional information, see the Blanding’s turtle fact sheet, which describes the habitat use
and life history of this species. The fact sheet also provides two lists of recommendations for
avoiding and minimizing impacts to this rare turtle. Please refer to both lists of
recommendations for your project. For further assistance regarding the Blanding’s turtle, please
contact the DNR Regional Nongame Specialist, Erica Hoaglund.
Environmental Review and Permitting
• Please include a copy of this letter in any state or local license or permit application. Please note
that measures to avoid or minimize disturbance to the above rare features may be included as
restrictions or conditions in any required permits or licenses.
The Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS), a collection of databases that contains information
about Minnesota’s rare natural features, is maintained by the Division of Ecological and Water
Resources, Department of Natural Resources. The NHIS is continually updated as new information
becomes available, and is the most complete source of data on Minnesota's rare or otherwise significant
species, native plant communities, and other natural features. However, the NHIS is not an exhaustive
Page 4 of 4
inventory and thus does not represent all of the occurrences of rare features within the state. Therefore,
ecologically significant features for which we have no records may exist within the project area. If
additional information becomes available regarding rare features in the vicinity of the project, further
review may be necessary.
For environmental review purposes, the results of this Natural Heritage Review are valid for one year;
the results are only valid for the project location (noted above) and the project description provided on
the NHIS Data Request Form. Please contact me if project details change or for an updated review if
construction has not occurred within one year.
The Natural Heritage Review does not constitute review or approval by the Department of Natural
Resources as a whole. Instead, it identifies issues regarding known occurrences of rare features and
potential effects on these rare features. If needed, contact your DNR Regional Environmental
Assessment Ecologist to determine whether there are other natural resource concerns associated with
the proposed project. Please be aware that additional site assessments or review may be required. To
ensure compliance with federal law, the DNR recommends you conduct a federal regulatory review using
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) online Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) tool.
Thank you for consulting us on this matter, and for your interest in preserving Minnesota's rare natural
resources. An invoice will be mailed to you under separate cover.

RE: City of Medina Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) – Chippewa Road
Extension and Weston Woods
Metropolitan Council Review No. 22493-1
Metropolitan Council District No. 1
Dear Mr. Finke:
The Metropolitan Council received the EAW for the Chippewa Road Extension and Weston Woods
project in the City of Medina on September 23, 2020. The proposed project is located west of
Arrowhead Drive, north of Highway 55, east of Mohawk Drive, and south of private land. The proposed development consists of approximately 0.5 miles of collector roadway, 108 attached residential units,
42 detached single -family lots, and 30,000 square feet of commer cial building space. It is anticipated
that construction of the development will start in the spring of 2021 and be phased over 5 to 10 years.
The staff review finds that the EAW is complete and accurate with respect to regional concerns and
does not raise major issues of consistency with Council policies. An EIS is not necessary for regional
purposes. We offer the following comments for your consideration.
Item 6 – Project Description (Colin Kelly 651-602-1361/ Patrick Haney 612 -349-7451)
There are no existing or planned units of the Regional Park System in the vicinity of the
proposed site development. However, the Diamond Lake (formerly known as North -South 1)
Regional Trail Search Corridor is currently being master planned by Three River s Park District
and one of the potential trail routes travels north -south along Arrowhead Drive in Medina,
immediately adjacent to the proposed site development:
https://www.letstalkthreerivers.org/diamond -lake-regional-trail-master-plan
Though the EAW states “the project will also include installation of some sidewalks or trails…”
and “the project area will include about 75 acres of open space c onsisting of wetlands, wetland
buffers, parkland, and stormwater features ,” the City should coordinate future development
activities in this location with Three Rivers Park District, to ensure the future routing of the
Diamond Lake Regional Trail has been taken into consideration .
Medina’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls for the need to create neighborhoods with a variety of
housing types that are well connected with roads, trails, or sidewalks. Sidewalks within the
development provide better pedestrian facilities. The development does have a sidewalk/trail on
the main through-road but does not appear to have sidewalk connections elsewhere in the
development.
Page - 2 | October 28, 2020 | METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Item 6 - Infrastructure Needs (Cameran Bailey, 651 -602-1212)
Council staff recommen ds that surmountable curbing (Minnesota Department of Transportation Curb and Gutter Design No. Type D or S curbs) be used for all proposed project roadway
medians and curbing. The potential presence of Blanding’s Turtles combined with 56 acres of
wetlands and 15 stormwater basins provide a habitat for wildlife found in nearby wetlands,
lakes, and ponds. Surmountable curbing will accommodate the need for movement of any
existing or new wildlife.
Item 8 – Permits and Approvals Required (Cameran Bailey, 651 -602-1212)
In accordance with Minn. Stat. § 473.513, at the time the project proposer makes application to
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for a permit to construct each segment of
sanitary sewer for the proposed project, a copy of the plans, design data, and a location map of
the project will also need to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council. The Council needs to
review, comment, and issue a non -objection decision relative to issuance of the construction
permit by the MPCA before connection can be made to the City’s wastewater disposal system.
This should be noted in Table 3 under Item 8 in the EAW.
Item 13 - Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities and Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare Features) (Cameran Bailey, 651 -602-1212)
Council staff recommends that development lawn/landscaping be intentionally developed with
native plants and pollinators to support existing wildlife, reduce lawn -care chemical use, and
chemical runoff. The development should provide a carbon sink to offset the increase in
greenhouse gas emissions from the additional natural gas and electricity production needed to
meet the demands of the new 150 -unit development. The conversion of 41.91 acres of tilled
cropland to 40.76 acres of turf grass/landscape provides the opportu nity to support this
recommendation. The Minnesota Departments of Transportation and Natural Resources have
robust pollinator planting experience an d resources to support this recommendation.
This concludes the Council’s review of the EAW. The Council will not take formal action on the EAW. If
you have any questions or need further information, please contact Freya Thamman, Principal
Reviewer, at 65 1-602-1750.

RE: EAW for Chippewa Road/Weston Woods in Medina
Mr. Finke,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the EAW in Medina. The City of Corcoran has
reviewed the materials received by the City on September 24, 2020 and we offer similar
comments as provided last year regarding the Weston Woods Comprehensive Plan
Amendment:
1. As noted in our June 22, 2017 comments on your draft Comprehensive Plan, we hope
that the City will continue the trail planned on Mohawk all the way north to the municipal
boundary. This trail connection to the planned trail in Corcoran is even more important
with the planned change to residential land use.
2. The connection (shown as Chippewa Road) to Arrowhead Drive to the east, as well as
Mohawk Drive to Horseshoe Trail to the north, will increase traffic through a corridor that
is currently inadequate to handle increased traffic. North and east bound traffic will also
enter the Hackamore/CR116 intersection. Improvements to this intersection and
Hackamore Road are currently under study and this project will be considered in
development of the design for shared improvements.
Please feel free to contact Brad Martens with questions at bmartens@ci.corcoran.mn.us and 763-

Lennar – Meadowview Commons Page 1 of 6 November 17, 2020
Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director; through City Administrator Scott Johnson
DATE: November 12, 2020
MEETING: November 17, 2020 City Council
SUBJ: Public Hearing – US Home Corp. (Lennar) – Meadowview Commons –
N of Hwy 55 – S of Meander Rd., W of CR116 – Vacation and Final Plat
Background
On September 15, 2020, the City granted preliminary plat approval to US Home Corporation
(Lennar) for Meadowview Commons. The plat proposed 125 townhome units and an outlot for
future commercial development.
The applicant has now requested final plat approval of the first phase of the project. The plat
includes 42 townhomes lots, an outlot for the future commercial development to the south, an
outlot for the private street within the development, and a series of outlots within the common
areas of the development.
The plat included outlots from two separate plats, Fields of Medina and Rolling Green Business
Center. The Rolling Green plat had included drainage and utility easements over the wetland on
the east portion of the site as well as around the perimeter of the site.
The easement along the west side of the Rolling Green outlot would cut through the site and a
number of the townhome parcels. The applicant has requested that the City vacate the existing
easements, which will be replaced with appropriately located easements upon the Meadowview
Commons plat.
Staff had originally published notice for the public hearing for the October 20 meeting. The City
Council opened the public hearing on the easement vacation at the October 20 and November 4
meetings and no one spoke at the hearing. The Council then tabled the hearing to the November
17 meeting.
Final Plat Analysis
Consistency with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations, and other
relevant policies was reviewed during review of the Preliminary Plat. The purpose of a final plat
review is to ensure that the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat and to
ensure that all the conditions of approval have been met.
Agenda Item # 9A
Lennar – Meadowview Commons Page 2 of 6 November 17, 2020
Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
Consistency with Preliminary Plat
It appears that the proposed plat is substantially similar to the approved preliminary plat. The lot
configuration of the proposed plat is the same as the approved preliminary plat. Outlot C has
been extended to include the portion of the private street to the west of Block 4 of the plat, which
was one of the conditions of approval. Outlot layout and easement locations have been updated
to account accommodate the final utility design and account for the fact that the site is proposed
to be platted in phases.
Preliminary Plat Conditions
Following is a list of conditions which were required upon preliminary approval. Staff has
summarized how each has or will be addressed in italics.
1) Approval of the plat shall be contingent upon rezoning approval of the residential portion of
the site to the R3 zoning district.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 661 on September 15, 2020, which rezoned the property to
R3.
2) Preliminary plat approval is conditioned upon approval of a wetland replacement plan for
proposed wetland impacts.
The City Council approved the wetland replacement plat at the September 15, 2020 meeting.
Implementing the requirements of this approval is included within the draft Development
Agreement.
3) The Applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the City, which shall include
the conditions described below as well as other requirements by City ordinance or policy.
A draft development agreement is attached for City Council review and approval. Staff
recommends execution of the agreement as a condition of final plat approval.
4) The Applicant shall install all improvements shown on the plans dated 6/22/2020 except as
may be modified herein. Final plans shall be provided at the time of final plat and shall
address the comments of the City Engineer, Fire Marshal, Elm Creek Watershed, other
relevant staff and agencies and the conditions noted herein. Plans shall be subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer.
The applicant has submitted plans. The City Engineer has provided comments, and staff
recommends that a condition be included with final plat approval to address the comments.
5) The Applicant shall update plans to include construction of Tamarack Drive adjacent to the
residential development as part of the public improvements, including stormwater
management for such improvements. If the City is not able to obtain right-of-way from the
property owner to the west for such construction, the Applicant shall construct a second
access on the west of the site which shall, to the extent practical, be constructed to be best
utilized as a portion of the permanent improvement, shall size stormwater improvements to
accommodate the full roadway width.
Staff has provided language within the development agreement to address this condition. The
plans do provide capacity for stormwater from the full width of Tamarack. The development
agreement also requires:
(a) Applicant to prepare preliminary design of Tamarack from Meander to Hwy 55.
Lennar – Meadowview Commons Page 3 of 6 November 17, 2020
Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
(b) Scenarios for construction:
(1) If property owner to west provides right-of-way by December 31: applicant to
provide plans and construct full width of northern 500 feet by end of 2021
(2) If property owner to west does not provide right-of-way by December 31: applicant to
provide plans and construct partial roadway of northern 500 feet.
The owner of the property to the west has been in contact with staff related to this condition. At
this point, the owner has indicated that they do not believe they intend to provide the right-of-
way because they are concerned that the responsibility for the construction of Tamarack may not
be being divided equitably.
6) The plat shall provide the necessary right-of-way and easements for construction of
Tamarack Drive from Meander Road to Highway 55 as recommended by the City Engineer
The plan provides right-of-way as recommended by the City Engineer pursuant to the Tamarack
Drive study.
7) The Applicant and owner of the outlot for future development shall enter into agreements as
determined appropriate by the City related to financial contributions towards the future
construction of improvements at Highway 55 and Tamarack Drive including traffic signals
and construction of the street approach and turn lanes.
Discussions related to ways to implement the construction of Tamarack Drive have been ongoing
for months and have evolved throughout the Tamarack Drive visioning process and review of
this development. Since preliminary plat approval, staff has reevaluated whether a petition and
waiver is in the City’s best interest. If the City enters into a petition and waiver at this time, it is
very likely that property owners would look to the City to complete the improvements via a
public improvement project in the future. Depending on the timing and the uses proposed on
other sites north and south of Highway 55, a public improvement project may not be the most
advantageous situation for the City.
A petition and waiver allows for the City to adopt assessments against properties in the future,
but only if the City takes upon the responsibility for construction through a public improvement
project. In a petition and waiver, the owner agrees to waive their rights for hearings and ability
to appeal the assessment amount up to a negotiated amount. Although the document will be of
record when future residents purchase the townhomes within the development, staff believes that
there is a good chance that a significant number of residents would express surprise and concern
if the City were to exercise its rights and adopt assessments in the future.
Without knowing more information in terms of timing, use and actual project costs and whether
the City would even need to take on the responsibility to construct via a public improvement
project, staff is not recommending requiring a petition and waiver as part of this development
agreement. If the City determines that a public improvement project is the preferred means to
construct the improvements in the future, it could consider assessments for all benefitted
properties at that time in the future without the petition and waiver, but it would be subject to
notices and hearings as required by law.
If the Council determines that a petition and waiver is in the City’s best interest, it was included
as a condition of preliminary plat approval, and the condition can still be added to the resolution
and development agreement.

Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
8) The plat shall provide drainage and utility easements over all utilities, stormwater
improvements, wetlands, and drainageways as recommended by the City Engineer. The plat
shall also provide easements along the perimeter of the site and between buildings as
recommended by the City Engineer.
The plan provides recommended drainage and utility easements for the 1st phase. Staff
recommends that additional information be added to the plat to make the location of the
easements more clear.
9) The grading plan shall be updated to provide space for recreational activities within the open
space.
The grading plan has been updated to provide for more space west of the wetland area. This is
not included in phase 1.
10) The Applicant shall update plans to locate trails outside of upland buffers.
Plans have been updated to locate trails outside of upland buffers.
11) The Applicant shall meet the requirements of the wetland protection ordinance upon the
residential development site, including provision of easements, planting of vegetation and
installation of signage.
The plans include required buffers and plantings and upland buffer easements have been drafted
for execution. Staff recommends that implementation be included as a condition of final plat
approval.
12) A minimum of 20% of any façade facing a public or private street shall be accent materials
such as shakes, brick, stone, face brick, decorative concrete, or others approved by the city.
Compliance with this requirement shall be subject to review and approval by City staff at
the time of building permit for each structure.
Informational condition; staff recommends that this condition be included upon final plat
approval
13) The Applicant shall implement the following design features which they have elected to
incorporate to qualify for the density proposed upon the plat:
a. Buildings and walls between dwellings shall meet Sound Transmission Class (STC)
rating of 55.
b. Open space and recreational amenities shall be provided as described in the plans.
The applicant has provided specifications showing that the STC between dwellings exceeds 55
and has included the open space and recreational amenities for phase 1 as shown on the plans.
No action necessary.
14) A site plan review of each building within the development site shall not be required as
described in Section 825.55 of City Code. However, each building shall be subject to
administrative review by City staff for consistency with the site plan which accompanies the
plat, relevant requirements of City Code, and the conditions noted herein.
Informational condition; staff recommends that this condition be included upon final plat
approval
Lennar – Meadowview Commons Page 5 of 6 November 17, 2020
Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
15) The Property shall be subject to the City’s lawn and landscaping irrigation regulations. No
lawn or landscape irrigation systems shall be permitted to be connected to the City water
system. The Applicant shall provide a description of any proposed irrigation system at the
time of final plat application.
The applicant proposes an irrigation system to reuse stormwater. The applicant proposes to
meet part of the stormwater requirements of the site using reuse as well. Staff recommends a
language in the development agreement that the applicant meter irrigation use and supplemental
well water to provide information on how much stormwater reuse is being utilized.
16) The Applicant shall submit HOA documents for City review and approval which shall
describe provisions for maintenance of elements such as the private streets, trails,
stormwater improvements, lawn irrigation, upland buffers, and bufferyard landscaping.

Final Plat and Easement Vacation City Council Meeting
Easement Vacation
According to Minnesota Statute 462.358 subd. 7: “The governing body of a municipality may
vacate any publicly owned utility easement…which are not being used for sewer, drainage,
electric, telegraph, telephone, gas and steam purposes or for boulevard reserve purposes, in
the same manner as vacation proceedings are conducted for streets…”
According to Minnesota Statutes 412.851, “The council may by resolution vacate any street,
alley, public grounds, public way, or any part thereof, on its own motion or on petition of a
majority of the owners of land abutting on the street, alley, public grounds, public way, or
part thereof to be vacated. When there has been no petition, the resolution may be adopted
only by a vote of four-fifths of all members of the council. No vacation shall be made unless
it appears in the interest of the public to do so after a hearing preceded by two weeks'
published and posted notice.”
Staff contacted the utility providers and requested that they locate their facilities. No utilities
were identified in the portion of the easement which will not be replaced in the Meadowview
Commons plat.
Staff believes the proposed easements on the new plat will better serve the interests of the public
than the easements on the old plat. As such, staff recommends approval of the vacation,
conditioned upon recording of the plat.
Potential Action
The Council should first continue the public hearing regarding the easement vacation before
taking any other action.
If the City Council finds that the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat and
that the conditions of preliminary plat have been addressed, the Council can take the following
action:
Move to adopt the resolution granting final plat approval for Meadowview Commons.
If the City Council finds the vacation of the easement to be in the public interest, the Council can
take the following action:
Move to adopt the resolution vacating drainage and utility easements within Outlot A,
Rolling Green Business Center

o) the City has issued a notice that all conditions precedent have been satisfied
and that the Developer may proceed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may request written approval from the City to allow
the commencement of construction of certain specifically identified Subdivision Improvements prior
to the final plat being recorded, as otherwise required in section 1a) above, provided, however, that
any decision regarding whether to grant such written approval shall be left entirely to the discretion of
City staff and consultants.
2. Plans; Improvements. a) The Developer agrees to develop the Subdivision in
accordance with the final plat of Meadowview Commons and the terms and conditions of the City
Approvals, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and made a part hereof,
and to construct all required improvements within and adjacent to the Subdivision in accordance with
the approved engineering and construction plans (collectively, the “Plans”) and this Agreement. In
the event of a conflict between the terms of the City Approvals and this Agreement, this Agreement
shall control. The documents which constitute the Plans are those on file with and approved by the
City and are listed on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Plans may not be modified by the Developer
without the prior written approval of the City or except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City staff may approve minor changes to the Plans.
678969.v4 3
b) In developing the Subdivision in accordance with the Plans, the Developer shall make
or install at its sole expense the following public and private improvements (collectively, the
“Subdivision Improvements”):
1. site grading;
2. streets, public and private;
3. sanitary sewer;
4. municipal water distribution system;
5. stormwater facilities;
6. landscape irrigation system;
7. landscaping;
8. floodplain mitigation; and
9. street lighting and signage.
The Subdivision Improvements are in addition to the Preliminary Improvements which have
been or will be constructed under the Preliminary Development Agreement and are defined therein.
To the extent that the Preliminary Improvements have not been completed by the Developer prior to
issuance by the City of the right to proceed under this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Preliminary Development Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be considered terms and
conditions of this Agreement as if set forth fully herein.
c) All work performed by or on behalf of the Developer on or related to the Subdivision,
including construction of the Subdivision Improvements and construction of houses on the lots, shall
be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m.
through 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
3. Erosion Control. a) All construction regarding the Subdivision Improvements shall
be conducted in a manner designed to control erosion and in compliance with the Preliminary
Development Agreement and all City ordinances and other requirements, including the City’s
permit with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding its municipal separate storm sewer
system program. The terms of the Preliminary Development Agreement shall continue to control
regarding erosion control even after the execution of this Agreement and are incorporated into this
Agreement. No grading or construction of the Subdivision Improvements will be allowed and no
building permits will be issued for the Subdivision unless the Developer is in full compliance with
the erosion control requirements. The erosion control measures specified in the Plans or otherwise
required within the Subdivision shall be binding on the Developer, its successors and assigns.
4. Site Grading; Haul Routes. a) In order to construct the Subdivision Improvements
and otherwise prepare the land for development, it will be necessary for the Developer to grade
the Subdivision. All site grading must be done in compliance with the Preliminary Development
Agreement, this Agreement, the Plans and the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency regarding contaminated soils. The City may withhold issuance of building permits for
structures within the Subdivision until the approved certified grading plan is on file with the City
and all erosion control measures are in place as determined by the City. Within 30 days after
completion of the grading, the Developer shall provide the City with an “as constructed” grading
plan and a certification by a registered land surveyor or engineer.
678969.v4 4
b) The Developer agrees that any fill material which must be brought to or removed
from the Property or adjacent areas while grading or during construction of the Subdivision
Improvements or any buildings within the Subdivision will be transported using the haul route
established by the City. The City designates the haul route as Meander Road to County Road 116.
The City agrees that during construction of the Subdivision, Meander Road will be posted to allow
a minimum five-ton axle weight, including during spring load restrictions, unless extraordinary
conditions or circumstances exist which require a lower amount.
5. Construction of Subdivision Improvements. a) All Subdivision Improvements
shall be installed in accordance with the Plans, the City Approvals, the Preliminary Development
Agreement, this Agreement, the City’s subdivision regulations, the City’s engineering standards
(as hereinafter defined) for utility construction and the requirements of the report from the City
engineer dated ___________________, 2020. The Developer shall submit plans and specifications
for the Subdivision Improvements prepared by a registered professional engineer. The Developer
shall obtain any necessary permits from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Metropolitan
Council, the Minnesota Department of Health, the Elm Creek Watershed Management
Commission and any other agency having jurisdiction before proceeding with construction. The
City shall inspect all work at the Developer’s expense. The Developer, its contractors and
subcontractors, shall follow all instructions received from the City’s inspectors. Prior to beginning
construction, the Developer or the Developer’s engineer shall schedule a preconstruction meeting
with all parties concerned, including the City staff and engineers, to review the program for the
construction work.
b) Within 45 days after the completion of the Subdivision Improvements, the Developer
shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible “as constructed” plans and three complete
sets of paper “as constructed” plans, each prepared in accordance with City standards and in
AutoCADD format based on Hennepin County coordinates. Sanitary sewer, water and stormwater
“as constructed” plans shall also be submitted to the City in GIS format compatible with ArcMap
10 in the coordinates and with the attributes directed by the City Engineer. Iron monuments must
be installed in the Subdivision in accordance with state law. The Developer’s surveyor shall
submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments have been installed. All
Subdivision Improvements required by this Agreement shall be completed by no later than
December 1, 2021, except as specifically noted otherwise in this Agreement.
c) The Developer agrees to require its contractor to provide to the City a warranty bond
for the public streets, sanitary sewer, and municipal water distribution system to cover defects in
labor and materials for a period of two years from the date of their acceptance by the City or from
their completion if they are not to be dedicated to the City. During such period, the Developer
agrees to repair or replace any Subdivision Improvement, or portion or element thereof, which
shows signs of failure, normal wear and tear excepted. A decision regarding whether a Subdivision
Improvement shows signs of failure shall be made by the City in the reasonable exercise of its
judgment. If the Developer fails to repair or replace a defective Subdivision Improvement during
the warranty period after prior written notice to Developer and opportunity to cure as provided in
paragraph 18, the City may repair or replace the defective portion and may use the Letter of Credit,
as hereinafter defined, to reimburse itself for such costs. The Developer agrees to reimburse the
678969.v4 5
City fully for the cost of all Subdivision Improvement repairs or replacement if the cost thereof
exceeds the remaining amount of the Letter of Credit. Such reimbursement must be made within
45 days of the date upon which the City notifies the Developer of the cost due under this section.
If the Developer fails to make required payments to the City, the Developer hereby consents to the
City levying special assessments for any unreimbursed amount associated with such costs against
the lots within the Subdivision except those which have been sold to homeowners. The Developer,
on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges the benefit to the lots within the
Subdivision of the repair or replacement of the Subdivision Improvements and hereby consents to
such assessment and waives the right to a hearing or notice of hearing or any appeal thereon under
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.
6. Private Road. The Developer agrees to construct a private road over Outlot C of
the Subdivision to serve all lots in the Subdivision (the “Private Road”). The Private Road shall
remain private and shall be maintained by the Developer or by the HOA, as hereinafter defined.
Additionally, the Developer agrees to enter into a separate private road maintenance and easement
agreement, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C, to ensure ongoing
maintenance of the Private Road and to provide the City with necessary access to the Private Road.
The Private Road shall be constructed and the private road maintenance and easement agreement
shall be executed and recorded prior to the sale of any lots within the Subdivision or the issuance
of any building permits related thereto. The Developer acknowledges that i) the Private Road will
not be accepted by the City; ii) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair
or replacement of the Private Road and that the Developer initially and the HOA ultimately will
have responsibility for such work; iii) the City has the right but not the obligation to perform
necessary work upon the failure or refusal by the Developer or the HOA to do so; and iv) if the
City performs any work on the Private Road, the City has the right to specially assess or otherwise
recover the cost of such work against the lots within the Subdivision served by the Private Road.
The Developer agrees to inform purchasers of lots served by the Private Road that i) the City does
not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair or replacement of the Private Road and that the
HOA will have primary responsibility for such work; ii) the City has the right but not the obligation
to perform necessary work upon the failure or refusal by the HOA to do so; and iii) if the City
performs any work on the Private Road, the City intends to recover the cost of such work from the
owners of the lots served by the Private Road.
7. Tamarack Drive Improvements. a) On August 18, 2020, the City formally adopted
the Tamarack Drive Corridor Visioning Study, which guides future construction of Tamarack Drive
from Meander Road south to Hamel Road, and portions of said roadway are adjacent and to the west
of the Subdivision. The conceptual layout of Tamarack Drive pursuant to that visioning study is
attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Developer is required under the City Approvals, which requirement
is expressly made part this Agreement, to make certain improvements to Tamarack Drive, including
the construction of public street, public trail, and accompanying stormwater elements, in order to
provide a secondary access to the Development (the “Tamarack Drive Improvements”). The
construction of the Tamarack Drive Improvements as contemplated in the visioning study requires
additional right-of-way from the property owner to the west of the Subdivision. To date, the City has
not obtained that right-of-way and so the parties agree to proceed with the Tamarack Drive
Improvements in a manner that provides flexibility, pursuant to the terms of this section 7.
678969.v4 6
b) On or before December 10, 2020, and notwithstanding the City’s ability to acquire
additional right-of-way from the property owner to the west of the Development, the Developer agrees
to prepare at its sole cost and expense and submit to the City a preliminary engineering design for the
Tamarack Drive Corridor from Meander Road to T.H. 55 (the “Preliminary Tamarack Design”),
which shall be approved in writing by the city engineer and based on the aforementioned Tamarack
Drive Corridor Visioning Study.
c) As of the date of this Agreement, the Plans, as defined herein, do not include the Tamarack
Drive Improvements because it is unknown whether the property owner to the west of the Subdivision
will grant the City the right-of-way necessary to allow for construction of the full width of Tamarack
Road. If the City obtains said right-of-way on or before December 31, 2020, then the Tamarack Drive
Improvements shall include the full width of the roadway in accordance with the Preliminary
Tamarack Design from Meander Road approximately 500 feet south to the northern end of the
approach to the northerly roundabout, as depicted on Exhibit D. If the City does not obtain said right-
of-way on or before December 31, 2020, then the Tamarack Drive Improvements shall consist of that
portion of Tamarack Drive which is possible to construct upon the right-of-way dedicated on the plat
of the Subdivision from Meander Road to approximately 500 feet south to the northern end of the
anticipated approach to the northerly roundabout contemplated as part of the Preliminary Tamarack
Design. Such plans shall accommodate a secondary access to the Development from Meander Road
and shall be designed in a manner that provides maximum compatibility, in the sole discretion of the
city engineer, with the eventual full-width of Tamarack Drive, as will be contained in the Preliminary
Tamarack Design.
d) On or before March 31, 2021, and in accordance with the scope and requirements of the
Tamarack Drive Improvements as dictated in section 7c) above, final engineering and construction
plans for the Tamarack Drive Improvements shall be prepared by the Developer and reviewed and
approved in writing by the city engineer. Upon such review and written approval, said plans shall by
operation of contract become incorporated into the Plans, as that term is defined herein, and the terms
and conditions of this Agreement regarding the Plans shall be interpreted to include said plans. In
addition to the requirements of section 7c), the Tamarack Drive Improvements shall meet all City
specifications and shall include a public trail and the stormwater elements to accommodate the
full-width of Tamarack Drive irrespective of whether the City obtains right-of-way from the
property owner to the west of the Subdivision. The City’s public street specifications are contained
in the edition of its engineering standards (the “Engineering Standards”) dated January, 2011, which
is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. If there is a conflict between the approved
plans and the Engineering Standards, the Engineering Standards shall prevail except when an
alternative has been explicitly approved in writing by the City.
e) The Tamarack Drive Improvements shall be completed by no later than the date for
completion of all Subdivision Improvements, as provided in section 5b), except that the final wear
course shall be installed between June 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The Developer may
request a written extension of up to one calendar year to complete the Tamarack Drive
Improvements, the approval of which shall be at the sole discretion of the City but shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If such extension is authorized by the City, final wear course installation
shall also be delayed for up to one calendar year. Following completion of the Tamarack Drive
Improvements and inspection thereof by the city engineer, the City agrees to accept the street for
678969.v4 7
maintenance if it has been constructed according to City specifications, including the Engineering
Standards and the Plans. The City shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the Tamarack
Drive Improvements are necessary to be open to public traffic prior to installation of the final wear
course and, if such a determination is made, removal of snow and ice shall remain the responsibility
of the Developer until the City accepts the Tamarack Drive Improvements.
8. Sanitary Sewer and Water Improvements. a) The Developer agrees to construct
sanitary sewer and water lines to serve the lots within the Subdivision as well as to extend sewer
and water mains to serve the Subdivision. The Developer’s work in constructing and extending
the utilities must be in accordance with the Plans and must comply with all City requirements
regarding such utilities. The sanitary sewer and water Subdivision Improvements will be dedicated
by the Developer to the City as public improvements upon completion and acceptance by the City.
9. Stormwater Improvements. a) The Developer agrees to construct the stormwater
facilities in accordance with the Plans and in compliance with all City requirements regarding such
improvements. The stormwater facilities include but are not limited to berms, biofiltration basins,
and related facilities, all as shown on the Plans.
b) The stormwater facilities serving the Subdivision will remain private and will be
maintained by the Developer at its sole expense until taken over by the HOA, as hereinafter defined.
The City does not intend to accept the stormwater facilities as public and does not intend to maintain
them. In order to meet the requirements of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission and
City code, the Developer agrees to enter into a Stormwater Maintenance Agreement with the City in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The purpose of the Stormwater Maintenance Agreement is to
ensure that the Developer maintains the stormwater facilities until taken over by the HOA and to give
the City the right but not the obligation to do so if the Developer fails in its obligations. The
Stormwater Maintenance Agreement will be recorded against all land within the Subdivision and will
run with the land. The Developer acknowledges that i) the stormwater facilities have not and will
not be accepted by the City; ii) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair
or replacement of the stormwater facilities and that the Developer and ultimately the HOA will
have primary responsibility for such work; iii) the City has the right but not the obligation to
perform necessary work upon the failure or refusal by the Developer or HOA to do so; and iv) if
the City performs any work on the stormwater facilities after reasonable notice to the Developer
or HOA and the failure of the Developer or HOA to perform the work, the City intends to specially
assess the cost of such work against the lots within the Subdivision and other portions of the
Property. Notwithstanding the above, the City will accept and maintain those elements of the
stormwater facilities which are located on public rights-of-way.
c) The Developer will make the HOA responsible for the maintenance, repair or
replacement of the stormwater facilities as needed and the HOA documents recorded with
Hennepin County shall so require. The HOA shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair or
replacement of all stormwater facilities serving any portion of the Property regardless of whether
located in the first or future phases of the project. The Developer agrees to inform purchasers of
lots within the Subdivision that i) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair
or replacement of the stormwater facilities and that the HOA will have primary responsibility for
such work; ii) the City has the right but not the obligation to perform necessary work upon the
678969.v4 8
failure or refusal by the HOA to do so; and iii) if the City performs any work on the stormwater
facilities after reasonable notice to the Developer or HOA and the failure of the Developer or HOA
to perform the work, the City intends to recover the cost of such work against the lots within the
Subdivision. Notwithstanding the above, the City will accept and maintain those elements of the
stormwater facilities which are located on public rights-of-way.
d) The Developer acknowledges that the City intends to establish a storm sewer
improvement tax district which includes all land within the Subdivision. The district will be
established pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 444.16 to 444.21 and will authorize the City to
acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, maintain, and otherwise improve storm sewer systems and
related improvements within or serving the Subdivision if such work becomes necessary in the
opinion of the City. In recognition of this possibility, the Developer agrees to provide prospective lot
purchasers with a disclosure statement informing them of the existence of the storm sewer
improvement tax district and that a tax could be imposed on the lots within the Subdivision if the City
is required to repair or maintain the storm sewer systems and related improvements. The wording of
the disclosure statement must be approved by the City for use in connection with the sale of lots in
the Subdivision prior to its distribution or use by the Developer.
10. Landscaping Plan; Landscape Irrigation Plan. a) The Developer agrees to install
landscaping in accordance with the Plans, which shall include all tree replacement requirements as
provided in the City’s tree replacement ordinance to the extent applicable. All landscaping shall
include hardy, non-invasive and drought tolerant species appropriate for Minnesota. All landscaping
materials shall be maintained and replaced if they die within two years.
b) Any automatic water irrigation system utilized on the Property shall be equipped with rain
sensors or soil moisture sensors and is subject to the City’s irrigation ordinance and water
conservation ordinance which prohibits the use of treated municipal water in connection with
landscape irrigation systems. Notwithstanding the aforementioned prohibition regarding water
irrigation systems, water may be utilized from the public water system for a limited period of time
until the landscaping material within the Subdivision has been established. The Developer will
submit the plans for the irrigation system prior to any permit being issued for any structures within
the Subdivision.
11. Street Lighting and Signs. The Developer agrees to install street lighting and street
signs within the Subdivision at its sole cost. Prior to the issuance of any building permits, the
Developer shall submit lighting details to the City for review and approval by City staff. All
lighting shall meet City standards. Street lighting shall include lighting fixtures approved by the
City and shall be equipped with luminaries which allow no light more than five percent above the
horizontal plane. The Developer or the HOA will be required to maintain the lighting fixtures.
Street signs shall be of a design approved by the City and those located along public right-of-way
shall be dedicated by the Developer to the City after installation and acceptance by the City. If
repair or replacement is necessary for those street signs located along public right-of-way, the City
will repair or replace with the City’s standard form of street sign. Should the Developer or the
HOA, as the case may be, desire to repair or replace such signs with any other type of street sign,
the Developer or the HOA will be required to pay for repair or replacement. All street signs that
are internal to the Subdivision and not located along public right-of-way shall be maintained,
678969.v4 9
repaired, and replaced by the Developer or the HOA.
12. Trails and Sidewalks. All trails and sidewalks shall be constructed by the
Developer in accordance with the Plans. Additionally, all trails and sidewalks, except for the
public trail that is expressly made part of the Tamarack Drive Improvements, shall be privately
owned and maintained by the Developer or the HOA. The City shall have no obligation to
maintain, repair, or replace such private trails and sidewalks.
13. Letter of Credit. a) In order to ensure completion of the Subdivision Improvements
required under this Agreement and satisfaction of all fees due to the City, the Developer agrees to
deliver to the City prior to beginning any construction or work within the Subdivision, a letter of
credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $1,535,163.45 which represents 150 percent of the
estimated cost of the Subdivision Improvements as specified in the Plans. This amount represents
the maximum risk exposure for the City, based on the anticipated sequence of construction and the
estimate of cost of each element of the Subdivision Improvements, rather than the aggregate cost
of all required Subdivision Improvements. This amount includes the amount for grading and
erosion control under the Preliminary Development Agreement and may be reduced if a letter of
credit has previously been submitted by the Developer for such work. The Letter of Credit shall
be delivered to the City prior to beginning any work on the Subdivision Improvements and shall
renew automatically thereafter until released by the City. The estimated cost of the work covered
by the Letter of Credit is itemized on Exhibit F attached hereto. The Letter of Credit shall be
issued by a bank determined by the City to be solvent and creditworthy and shall be in a form
acceptable to the City. The Letter of Credit shall allow the City to draw upon the instrument, in
whole or part, in order to complete construction of any or all of the Subdivision Improvements and
other specified work within the Subdivision and to pay any fees or costs due to the City by the
Developer after written notice to Developer and Developer’s failure to cure the default within a
reasonable period.
b) Subject to the City’s ongoing calculation of the maximum risk exposure as work
progresses on the Subdivision Improvements, the City agrees to reduce the Letter of Credit upon
substantial completion of any significant portion of the covered Subdivision Improvements,
delivery of the required warranty bond to the City, and satisfaction of all of the Developer’s
financial obligations to the City. The Letter of Credit shall be released in full and returned to the
Developer following installation of the final wear course of bituminous on the streets, expiration
of the two-year warranty period for the landscaping, after satisfaction of all other provisions of
this section and subject to a determination by the City that there exist one or more outstanding
letters of credit for other phases of the Project sufficient to ensure completion of the Subdivision
Improvements and satisfaction of the Developer’s financial obligations related to such other
phases. Prior to releasing any portion of the Letter of Credit or accepting another letter of credit
in replacement, the City shall first be satisfied regarding the quality and completeness of the work
and that the Developer has taken such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no liens will attach
to the Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Letter of Credit shall not be
reduced to less than $50,000, until such time as the City releases the entire Letter of Credit.
c) It is the intention of the parties that the City at all times have available to it a Letter
of Credit in an amount adequate to ensure completion of all elements of the Subdivision
678969.v4 10
Improvements and other obligations of the Developer under this Agreement. To that end and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests by the Developer for a reduction or
release of the Letter of Credit shall be evaluated by the City in light of that principle. The amount
of the Letter of Credit in section 13a), as it relates to the Tamarack Drive Improvements,
contemplates that the Developer will be obligated to construct the full width of Tamarack Drive,
and so in the event that the City is unable to obtain additional right-of-way from the property owner
to the west of the Property on or before the deadline established in section 7c) of this Agreement,
the parties agree that the amount of the Letter of Credit may be adjusted, as may be necessary, in
light of the Developer’s obligation to construct a narrower roadway pursuant to the approved plans
and specifications.
d) If at any time the City reasonably determines that the bank issuing the Letter of
Credit no longer satisfies the City’s requirements regarding solvency and creditworthiness, the
City shall notify the Developer and the Developer shall provide to the City within 30 days a
substitute Letter of Credit from another bank meeting the City’s requirements. If within 30 days
of notice the Developer fails to provide the City with a substitute Letter of Credit from an issuing
bank satisfactory to the City, the City may draw under the existing Letter of Credit.
14. Homeowners’ Association. a) The Developer agrees to establish a homeowners’
association (the “HOA”), which shall include all land within the Subdivision except Outlot E. The
Developer agrees to record covenants against said land for this purpose, which covenants must be
in form and substance acceptable to the City. The covenants shall be filed by the Developer with
Hennepin County prior to any building permits being issued for the Subdivision, with the exception
that, subject to the provisions in section 23, a permit may be issued for one model townhome
building before such covenants are filed, provided that no certificate of occupancy shall be issued
until the covenants are approved by the City and recorded.
b) The HOA covenants must provide, among other things, for HOA maintenance of
the Private Road, street lights, stormwater facilities, upland buffers, the landscape irrigation system
(if any) and all common areas in the Subdivision. The Developer agrees to work with the City to
include language within the covenants regarding efforts the HOA will undertake to operate the
irrigation system in a manner which limits the use of supplemental ground water. The City must
approve the HOA covenants and will require that certain provisions thereof may not be amended
or deleted without prior written City approval.
15. Wetlands; Upland Buffer Easement Agreement. The Developer must meet the
requirements of the approved wetland replacement plan. The Developer agrees to execute the Upland
Buffer Easement Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. The purpose of the Upland
Buffer Easement Agreement is to enhance water quality in the wetlands, provide that no structures or
fill are placed in those areas and ensure that they are maintained in such condition thereafter. The
Developer agrees to make the HOA responsible for its maintenance obligations under the Upland
Buffer Easement Agreement and the HOA documents recorded with Hennepin County will so
require.
16. City Trunk Connection Rates; SAC Fees. a) In accordance with City policy and
to distribute uniformly the costs of public utility infrastructure improvements, the City will charge
678969.v4 11
the Developer trunk connection fees for the availability of sanitary sewer and water to the Property.
The trunk connection fees for sanitary sewer and water shall be payable at the time of issuance of
each building permit at the then-current rates. The rates are typically adjusted annually.
b) The Metropolitan Council charges the City a sewer availability charge for each new
connection to the metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system or increase in capacity demand. The
Developer agrees to reimburse the City for any sewer availability charge paid by the City to the
Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council’s current rate is $2,485.00 per unit.
17. Park Dedication Requirements. Park dedication was previously satisfied with a land
contribution when the Fields of Medina property, located to the north of the Development, was
platted. Accordingly, there are no additional park dedication requirements contemplated as part of
this Subdivision.
18. Responsibility for Costs; Escrow for Construction Inspection. a) The Developer
agrees to pay to the City an administrative fee in the amount necessary to reimburse the City for
its reasonable costs and expenses in reviewing the Subdivision, including the drafting and
negotiation of this Agreement. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City in full for such reasonable
costs within 45 days after notice in writing by the City. The Developer further agrees to reimburse
the City for the reasonable cost incurred in the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement,
including reasonable engineering and attorneys’ fees.
b) The Developer shall also pay a fee for City construction observation and administration
relating to construction of the Subdivision Improvements. Construction observation shall include
inspection of all the Subdivision Improvements. In order to reimburse the City for the reasonable
cost of inspection of the Subdivision Improvements, the Developer shall deposit an additional
$85,000 into an escrow account with the City, which shall receive and hold such funds solely under
the terms of this Agreement. The City shall reimburse itself for expenses from the escrow and will
provide the Developer with a copy of any invoice from the city engineer or evidence of other cost
or expense attributed to the escrow prior to deducting such funds from the escrow. If any funds
held under this escrow exceed the amount necessary to reimburse the City for its costs under this
section, such funds shall be returned to the Developer without interest. If it appears that the actual
costs incurred will exceed the estimate, the Developer and the City shall review the costs required
to complete the project and the Developer shall deposit additional sums with the City.
19. Developer’s Default. In the event of default by the Developer as to construction or
repair of any of the Subdivision Improvements or any other work or undertaking required by this
Agreement, and such default continues for 30 days after the City provides notice to the Developer
of the nature of the default pursuant to the notice requirements in this Agreement, or if such default
cannot be cured within 30 days, after such time period as may be reasonably required to cure the
default provided that Developer is making a good faith effort to cure said default, the City may, at
its option, perform the work and the Developer shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense
incurred by the City. This Agreement is a license for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary
for the City to seek an order from any court for permission to enter the Property for such purposes.
If the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies, levy special
assessments against the land within the Subdivision to recover the costs thereof. For this purpose,
678969.v4 12
the Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, expressly waives any and all procedural
and substantive objections to the special assessments, including but not limited to, hearing
requirements and any claim that the assessments exceed the benefit to the land so assessed. The
Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, also waives any appeal rights otherwise
available pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 429.081.
20. Insurance. The Developer agrees to take out and maintain or cause to be taken out
and maintained until six months after the City has accepted the Subdivision Improvements, public
liability and property damage insurance covering personal injury, including death, and claims for
property damage which may arise out of Developer’s work or the work of its contractors or
subcontractors. Liability limits shall not be less than $500,000 when the claim is one for death by
wrongful act or omission or for any other claim and $1,500,000 for any number of claims arising
out of a single occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional insured on the policy. The
certificate of insurance shall provide that the City must be given the same advance written notice
of the cancellation of the insurance as is afforded to the Developer.
21. No Building Permits Approved; Certificates of Occupancy. a) Approvals granted
to date by the City regarding the Subdivision do not include approval of a building permit for any
structure within the Subdivision. The Developer must submit and the City must approve building
plans prior to an application for a building permit for a structure on any lot within the Subdivision.
All building pads must be certified prior to initiation of construction of a home on a lot. The
Developer or the party applying for a building permit shall be responsible for payment of the
customary fees associated with the building permit and all other deferred fees as specified in this
Agreement.
b) No building permit shall be issued for any structure within the Subdivision until all
streets, except for the final wear course of bituminous, and all utilities have been completed for
the Subdivision.
c) No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any home constructed in the
Subdivision unless prior thereto the lot has been graded and all landscaping installed in accordance
with the Plans, the driveway has been installed, the footing drain tile or sump pump is discharging
in an approved location, the water service valve is in proper working order and an as built survey
of the lot has been submitted and approved by the City. In cases in which seasonal weather
conditions make compliance with these conditions impossible, the City may accept an escrow of
sufficient amount to ensure completion of the work during the following construction season.
22. Clean up and Dust Control. The Developer shall clean on a daily basis dirt and
debris from streets adjoining the Subdivision resulting from construction work by the Developer,
its contractors, agents or assigns, including any party constructing houses within the Subdivision.
Prior to any construction on the Property or adjacent areas, the Developer shall identify to the City
in writing a responsible party for erosion control, street cleaning, and street sweeping. The
Developer shall provide dust control to the satisfaction of the City’s engineer throughout
construction within the Subdivision.
23. Model Homes. The Developer may utilize two townhome buildings as model
678969.v4 13
homes within the Subdivision. The Developer shall obtain duly issued building permits and
certificates of occupancy from the City prior to the use of any model homes, which shall be used
for real estate sales and no other purposes. Notwithstanding section 21b) or any other provision
herein to the contrary, building permits for the two model townhome buildings may be issued in
Blocks 1 and 9 of the Subdivision prior to the completion of streets and utilities, provided,
however, that the lots in question have adequate access and parking and sanitary sewer and water
are available. If building permits are issued prior to the completion and acceptance of all
Subdivision Improvements serving any lot, the final wear course of bituminous excepted, the
Developer assumes all liability and costs resulting in delays in completion of the Subdivision
Improvements and damage to the Subdivision Improvements caused by the City, the Developer,
its contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, employees, agents, or third parties. Certificates of
occupancy will only be issued after the model homes have adequate access, parking, and
circulation and meet all other building code requirements, including but not necessarily limited to,
connection to sanitary sewer and water.
24. Compliance with Laws. The Developer agrees to comply with all laws, resolutions,
ordinances, regulations and directives of the state of Minnesota and the City applicable to the
Subdivision. This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of Minnesota. Breach of the
terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall be grounds for denial of building permits for lots
within the Subdivision.
25. Agreement Runs With the Land. This Agreement shall run with the Property and
shall be recorded against the title thereto and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the City and the
Developer and their successors and assigns. The Developer’s successors in title may be
responsible for certain obligations under this Agreement as required by the City. Upon request by
Developer or its successors or assigns, the City will issue a certificate in recordable form which
certifies the extent which the Developer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and if
Developer has fully complied with and completed all terms of this Agreement, Releasing
Developer from this Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Developer warrants that to Developer’s
actual knowledge, there are no unrecorded encumbrances or interests relating to the Property. The
Developer agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless for any breach of the foregoing
covenants.
26. Indemnification. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the City and
its officers, employees, and agents harmless from claims made by third parties for damages
sustained or costs incurred resulting from approval of the Subdivision. The Developer hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold the City and its officers, employees, and agents harmless for all costs,
damages, or expenses which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such claims, including
attorneys’ fees, except matters involving intentional acts or gross negligence by the City.
27. Assignment. The Developer may not assign this Agreement without the prior
written permission of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
denied.
28. Notices. Any notice or correspondence to be given under this Agreement shall be
deemed to be given if delivered personally or sent by United States certified or registered mail,

illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall pertain only to such
section and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other section or provision of this
Agreement.

PRIVATE ROAD MAINTENANCE AND EASEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PRIVATE ROAD MAINTENANCE AND EASEMENT AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”), is made this ___ day of _______________, 2020, by and between U.S. Home
Corporation, a Delaware business corporation (the “Developer”) and the city of Medina, a
municipal corporation under the laws of the state of Minnesota (the “City”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer is the fee owner of certain real property located in Hennepin
County, Minnesota, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Developer intends to develop the Property in accordance with a separate
development agreement entered into by the City and the Developer (the “Development
Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Developer has agreed to
construct and maintain a privately-owned and operated road (the “Private Road”) that will provide
access to the lots legally described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Lots”); and
WHEREAS, the Private Road is legally described on Exhibit C attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, as a condition of the Development Agreement, the City and the Developer
must enter into a maintenance and easement agreement regarding the Private Road.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants of the parties set forth herein
and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Construction and Maintenance of the Private Road. The Developer hereby agrees to
construct, reconstruct, maintain and repair the Private Road at its own expense. The Private Road
consists of the grade, base, surface, ditches, culverts, stormwater improvements including, but not
limited to, drainage conveyance of roadway runoff, and all other elements and appurtenances
which create a driving surface suitable for vehicular traffic. The Developer acknowledges that the
City has no obligation to construct, reconstruct, maintain or repair the Private Road and that the
City does not intend to accept, acquire, or open the Private Road as a public roadway. Such
construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair shall meet minimum standards set forth in
the approved engineering and construction plans for the Subdivision. All of the Developer’s
obligations regarding the Private Road shall also be obligations of the Developer’s successors or
assigns, and such obligations shall eventually be assigned to a homeowner’s association (the
“HOA”).
678969.v4 C-2
2. City’s Right to Maintain and Repair. a) The City may maintain and repair the Private
Road if the City reasonably believes that the Developer or its successors or assigns has failed to
adequately maintain the Private Road in accordance with section 1 of this Agreement and such
failure continues for 30 days after the City gives the Developer, its successors or assigns written
notice of such failure or, if such tasks cannot be completed within 30 days, after such time period
as may be reasonably required to complete the required tasks provided that the Developer is
making a good faith effort to complete said task. The City’s notice shall specifically state which
maintenance tasks are to be performed.
b) If the Developer does not complete the maintenance tasks within the required time
period after such notice is given by the City, the City shall have the right to enter upon the Private
Road, and those portions of the Property immediately surrounding the Private Road, as may
reasonably be necessary to gain access to the Private Road to perform such maintenance tasks;
provided, however, the City will use reasonable efforts to minimize the disturbance and destruction
of landscaping and improvements within said areas immediately surrounding the Private Road. In
such case, the City shall send an invoice detailing its reasonable maintenance costs to the
Developer or its successors or assigns, which shall include all reasonable staff time (at the
applicable rates charged by the City to similarly situated parties), engineering and legal and other
reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by the City. If the Developer or its successors
or assigns fails to reimburse the City for its costs and expenses in maintaining the Private Road
within 30 days of receipt of an invoice for such costs, the City shall have the right to assess the
full cost thereof against the Lots and collect the same in single or multiple payments as in the case
of special assessments for public improvements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. For
the purposes of this section and the City’s right to impose special assessments, the Developer’s
successors and assigns shall be deemed to be the HOA or the owners of the Lots.
c) The assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City but not more
than 2 percent more than the average coupon rate if the City sells debt to pay for the cost of the
work or 2 percent over the average rate of return earned by the City on its investment portfolio if
the City finances the work without selling debt. The Developer, on behalf of itself and its
successors and assigns, acknowledges that the maintenance work performed by the City regarding
the Private Road benefits the Lots in an amount which exceeds the assessment and hereby waives
any right to hearing or notice and the right to appeal the assessments otherwise provided by
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, as
determined by the city engineer, the 30-day notice requirement to the Developer for failure to
perform maintenance tasks shall be and hereby is waived in its entirety by the Developer, and the
Developer shall reimburse the City and be subject to assessment for any expense so incurred by
the City in the same manner as if written notice as described above has been given. Any
maintenance or repairs made by the City pursuant to this section 2 will not result in the
establishment of a public roadway.
d) The City has the right but not an obligation to perform maintenance or repair the
Private Road. The City intends to exercise this authority only if the condition of the Private Road
is so poor, in the reasonable exercise of the City’s discretion, as to pose a hazard to the health,
safety and welfare to those using the Private Road.
e) Notwithstanding any other language to the contrary, to the extent that the Private
Road is damaged by the City, it’s employees, contractors or agents for any reason, including but
678969.v4 C-3
not limited to, damage arising out of repairing or replacing any City utility, then at no cost to the
Developer or it’s successors or assigns, the City shall repair or replace the Private Road as
necessary, to the same standard as the condition of the Private Road existed prior to the City
damaging the Private Road. Further, if the previously described damage to the Private Road by the
City shall occur then the terms contained in paragraphs (2) and (5) herein shall also not apply.
3. Conveyance of Easement. The Developer hereby conveys a non-exclusive easement
over the Private Road for ingress and egress to the City for any public service deemed necessary
by the City, including but not limited to, response to police calls, fire calls, rescue and other
emergency calls, inspections, animal control, provisions for adequate surface drainage, and other
code enforcement issues. This does not convey a right to the general public to use the Private Road.
4. Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it, prevent
the City from the exercise of its full range of land use authority regarding the Property granted to
it by state statute, the City code or any other applicable regulation and the City shall be entitled to
apply its official controls to the Property in the same manner and to the same extent as if it were
served by public streets.
5. Hold Harmless. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City
and its agents and employees against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) directly arising out of or directly resulting from the
Developer’s, or the Developer’s agents’ or employees’ grossly negligent or intentional
misconduct, or any violation of any applicable safety law, regulation, or code enacted by the City
or the State of Minnesota in the performance of this Agreement, without regard to any inspection
or review made or not made by the City, its agents or employees or failure by the City, its agents
or employees to take any other prudent precautions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
as a waiver by the City of any immunities, defenses or other limitations on liability to which the
City is entitled to by law, including but not limited to, the maximum monetary limits on liability
established by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466.
6. Recording; Run with the Land; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
recorded against the Property. All duties and obligations of Developer under this Agreement shall
also be duties and obligations of Developer’s successors and assigns. The terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall run with the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon execution and
recording by the HOA for the Property of an instrument in a form satisfactory to the City assuming
and agreeing to perform the obligations and responsibilities of the Developer under this
Agreement, the HOA shall be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement as if it were
the original signatory hereto and the Developer, its successors and assigns, shall be released from
all personal liability under this Agreement but the Lots shall remain subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
7. Costs of Enforcement. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City for all costs
prudently incurred by the City in the enforcement of this Agreement, or any portion thereof,
including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
8. Notice. All notices required under this Agreement shall either be personally delivered
or be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

FORM OF
STORMWATER MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of
_________, 2020, by and between the city of Medina, a Minnesota municipal corporation (the
“City”) and U.S. Home Corporation, a Delaware business corporation (the “Developer”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer is the fee owner of certain real property located in Hennepin
County, Minnesota, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the City has obtained drainage and utility easements over portions of the
Property (the “Easement Areas”); and
WHEREAS, by a separate development agreement (the “Development Agreement”), the
Developer has agreed to construct and maintain certain stormwater facilities (the “Stormwater
Improvements”) for the benefit of the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Stormwater Improvements which are the subject of this Agreement
include stormwater ponds and accompanying structures, including the stormwater pipe connecting
the stormwater ponds, and the berms, biofiltration basins, and all related facilities. The location
of the Stormwater Improvements are shown on Exhibit B attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission requires permanent
provisions for handling of storm runoff, including terms and conditions for operation and
maintenance of all Stormwater Improvements, and requires such provisions to be set forth in an
agreement to be recorded against the Property; and
WHEREAS, the City and the Developer intend to comply with certain conditions,
including entering into a maintenance agreement regarding the Stormwater Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants of the parties set forth herein
and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Maintenance of the Stormwater Improvements. The Developer, for itself and its
successor or assigns, agrees to maintain the Stormwater Improvements and observe all drainage
laws governing the operation and maintenance of the Stormwater Improvements. The Developer
shall make periodic inspection and perform maintenance of the Stormwater Improvements as
described in Exhibit C attached hereto. The Developer shall make all such scheduled inspections
E-2
678969.v4
and maintenance, keep record of all inspections and maintenance activities, and submit such
records annually to the City. The cost of all inspections and maintenance, including skimming and
cleaning of the Stormwater Improvements, shall be the obligation of the Developer and its
successors or assigns as the fee owner of the Property, which obligation shall be assigned to the
HOA, as defined hereinafter, in accordance with section 7 of this Agreement.
2. City’s Maintenance Rights. The City may maintain the Stormwater Improvements,
as provided in this paragraph, if the City reasonably believes that the Developer or its successors
or assigns has failed to maintain the Stormwater Improvements in accordance with applicable
drainage laws and other requirements and such failure continues for 30 days after the City gives
the Developer written notice of such failure or, if such tasks cannot be completed within 30 days,
after such time period as may be reasonably required to complete the required tasks provided that
Developer is making a good faith effort to complete said task. The City’s notice shall specifically
state which maintenance tasks are to be performed. If Developer does not complete the
maintenance tasks within the required time period after such notice is given by the City, the City
shall have the right to enter upon the Easement Areas and such portions of the Property as may
reasonably be necessary to gain access to the Easement Areas to perform such maintenance tasks.
In such case, the City shall send an invoice of its reasonable maintenance costs to the Developer
or its successors or assigns, which shall include all reasonable staff time, engineering and legal
and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City. If the Developer or its successors
or assigns fails to reimburse the City for its costs and expenses in maintaining the Stormwater
Improvements within 30 days of receipt of an invoice for such costs, the City shall have the right
to assess the full cost thereof against the Property. The Developer, on behalf of itself and its
successors and assigns, acknowledges that the maintenance work performed by the City regarding
the Stormwater Improvements benefits the Property in an amount which exceeds the assessment
and hereby waives any right to hearing or notice and the right to appeal the assessments otherwise
provided by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an
emergency, as determined by the city engineer, the 30-day notice requirement to the Developer for
failure to perform maintenance tasks shall be and hereby is waived in its entirety by the Developer,
and the Developer shall reimburse the City and be subject to assessment for any expense so
incurred by the City in the same manner as if written notice as described above has been given.
3. Hold Harmless. The Developer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
City and its agents and employees against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from the Developer’s,
or the Developer’s agents’ or employees’ negligent or intentional acts, or any violation of any
safety law, regulation or code in the performance of this Agreement, without regard to any
inspection or review made or not made by the City, its agents or employees or failure by the City,
its agents or employees to take any other prudent precautions, except to the extent of intentional
or grossly negligent acts of the City, its employees, agents and representatives. In the event the
City, upon the failure of the Developer to comply with any conditions of this Agreement, performs
said conditions pursuant to its authority in this Agreement, the Developer shall indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its employees, agents and representatives for its own negligent acts in the
performance of the Developer’s required work under this Agreement, but this indemnification shall
not extend to intentional or grossly negligent acts of the City, its employees, agents and
representatives.
E-3
678969.v4
4. Costs of Enforcement. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City for all
reasonable costs prudently incurred by the City in the enforcement of this Agreement, or any
portion thereof, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees after providing written notice
to Developer and a reasonable opportunity to cure.
5. Rights Not Exclusive. No right of the City under this Agreement shall be deemed
to be exclusive and the City shall retain all rights and powers it may have under Minnesota Statutes,
sections 444.16 to 444.21 to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, maintain and otherwise
improve the Stormwater Improvements.
6. Notice. All notices required under this Agreement shall either be personally
delivered or be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and addressed
as follows:
a) as to Developer: U.S. Home Corporation

and conditions of this Agreement shall run with the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
creation of a homeowners’ association for the Property (the “HOA”) by an instrument in a form
satisfactory to the City which assumes and agrees to perform the obligations and responsibilities
of the Developer under this Agreement, the HOA shall be bound by all terms and conditions of

described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”).
B. Grantor and the City have entered into a separate development agreement (the
“Development Agreement”) regarding the subdivision and development of the Property.
C. The City has granted approval of the rezoning and the plat of Meadowview Commons
concerning the Property (the “City Approvals”), under the terms of which the Grantor is
required to establish upland buffers adjacent to wetlands on portions of the Property
consistent with City regulations (the “Easement Area”).
D. In accordance with the Development Agreement, the City Approvals and the City’s
wetland preservation ordinance, the City has requested that Grantor grant to the City an
upland buffer easement (the “Upland Buffer Easement”) over the Easement Area.
E. The Easement Area is legally described in Exhibit B and depicted in Exhibit C, both
attached hereto.
F. Grantor is willing to grant the Upland Buffer Easement in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
PROVISIONS
In consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein, the parties agree
as follows:
1. Grantor hereby grants and conveys to the City and its successors and assigns, the Upland
Buffer Easement in, under, on, over and across the Easement Area, and the City hereby
accepts such grant. The duration of this easement is perpetual, subject to Minnesota law
governing granting of easements to governmental bodies, and shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
2. The following terms and conditions shall apply to the Easement Area:
678969.v4 G-2
a. The Easement Area shall be planted with native grasses and other vegetation
consistent with the landscaping plan approved by the City in connection with the
City Approvals and thereafter be preserved predominantly in its natural condition,
except to the extent set forth below. No use shall be made of the Easement Area
except uses, if any, which would not change or alter the condition of the Easement
Area or its drainage, water conservation, erosion control, soil conservation, or fish
and wildlife habitat and characteristics.
b. No structures, hardcover or other improvements shall be constructed, erected, or
placed upon, above, or beneath the Easement Area, with the exception of a
boardwalk or dock not to exceed four feet in width to allow reasonable access to

4. The Grantor conveys to the City and its successors and assigns, the following rights:
a. The City may enter upon the Easement Area for the purposes of inspection and
enforcement of the covenants contained herein and to cause to be removed from the
Easement Area without any liability any structures, uses, materials, substances, or
unnatural matter inconsistent with the covenants contained herein and the natural

the City shall provide notice and an order for corrective action consistent with City

may enter the Property in order to perform the action. In such case, the City shall
send an invoice of its reasonable maintenance costs to the Grantor, which shall
include all reasonable staff time, engineering and legal and other reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by the City. If the Grantor fails to reimburse the City for its
costs and expenses within 45 days of receipt of an invoice for such costs, the City

678969.v4 G-3
on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges that any such

exceeds the assessment and hereby waives any right to hearing or notice and the
right to appeal the assessments otherwise provided by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
429.
b. The City may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the
Grantor to enforce the terms of this Agreement; to require restoration of the
Easement Area to its planted or more natural condition; to enjoin such non-
compliance by temporary or permanent injunction and to recover any damages
arising from such non-compliance. If a court determines that the Grantor has failed
to comply with this Agreement, Grantor or Grantor’s successors or assigns shall
reimburse the City for any reasonable costs of enforcement, including costs of
restoration, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other
payments ordered by the court.
5. Grantor hereby grants and conveys to the City a perpetual flowage easement and right and
privilege to trespass with water over and upon any or all of the Easement Area.
6. Grantor retains all responsibilities and shall bear all costs and liabilities of any kind related
to ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property and the Easement Area.
7. Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officials, employees
and agents, against any and all loss, costs, damage and expense, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs that the City incurs because of the breach of any of the above
covenants and/or resulting from or due to Grantor’s intentional misrepresentation of any
material fact contained therein. The Grantor and the City agree that each shall be
responsible for their own acts and the results of such acts and shall not be responsible for
the act of the other party and the results of such acts.
8. This Agreement may be amended only by mutual written agreement of the parties.
9. Nothing herein shall give the general public a right of access to the Property.
10. Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement run with the Property and shall be binding on
the Grantor’s successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon creation of a
homeowners’ association for the Property (the “HOA”) by an instrument in a form
satisfactory to the City the HOA shall be obligated to perform the obligations and
responsibilities of the Grantor under this Agreement, the HOA shall be bound by all terms
and conditions of this Agreement as if it were the original signatory hereto and the Grantor,
its successors and assigns, shall be released from all personal liability and any and all
obligations under this Agreement but the Property shall remain subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Paragraph 10 is deemed to alter or amend
the remaining terms of the Agreement in the event of a transfer of the Grantor’s interest.
11. Any notice required in this Agreement shall be delivered personally or sent by U.S.

Re: Meadowview Commons Townhomes Final Plat – Engineering Review
City Project No. LR-20-277
WSB Project No. 015744-000
Dear Mr. Finke:
We have reviewed Meadowview Commons Townhomes Final Plat submittal dated October 28,
2020. The plans propose to construct 125 multi-family units (townhomes) on 22 acres over two
parcels known as the “Jubert Property” and “Rolling Green Property”. The project will be
constructed in three phases.
The documents were reviewed for general conformance with the City of Medina’s general
engineering standards and Stormwater Design Manual. We have the following comments with
regards to engineering and stormwater management matters.
General/Final Plat
1. We understand that the project will be constructed in three phases. Grading and
stormwater management was reviewed for all phases. Comments pertaining the
watermain/sewer utility and street improvements were provided for all phases, but the
City reserves the right to review the utility and street improvements for Phases 2 and 3
when final construction plans are provided.
2. Utilize the latest City visioning study linework for the proposed Tamarack Drive linework.
Complete.

way. The City does prefer this trail to be privately owned and maintained; the 6’ width is
also acceptable as a privately owned and maintained trail. The trail along the Tamarack
Drive extension is expected to be publicly owned and maintained within public right of
way and so an 8’ width will be required. Complete, the applicant responded that the
proposed trail is located outside of the right-of-way and will be considered a private trail
as an amenity for the development. The trail has been expanded to provide additional
connectivity to an open space area and to the existing trail on the north side of Meander

50. With final construction plans, provide plan and profile view of proposed street and utility
improvements. Complete for Phase 1.
51. Provide actual street names on all plan sheets where shown (add to grading plans still).
52. See additional comments provided on submitted plan sheets. Complete.
53. Provide specific details/cross sections for control structures located in the ponding areas.
Ideally, the control structure should be located on the in-slope of the pond, not at the top
of the pond berm. The City also does not allow submerged outlets.
Traffic & Access
54. Based on review of the future traffic conditions right or left turn lanes would not be
needed at the Jubert Drive entrance on Meander Road assuming a connection to
Tamarack Drive from the site and Tamarack Drive at TH 55 will be improved to a full
movement signalized intersection.
With that said, due to the possibility that a full movement access at Hwy 55 and the
Tamarack Drive may not be constructed, an eastbound/westbound left turn and
westbound right turn lane on Meander Road at the Jubert Drive entrance should be
constructed with the project as proposed. At a minimum, provide 250’ of additional right
of way (minimum of 10’ wide) along Meander Road in each direction of Jubert Drive to
accommodate the future turn lanes. In-progress. Turn lanes are shown in the Site Plan
for access locations on future Tamarack Drive and Meander Road. See notes on
submitted plan sheets.
55. More details should be provided for the design of the Jubert Drive entrance to Meander
Road. Some of the concerns include: the lanes should line up with the Jubert Trail; the
width of the lanes, and; the taper past the median island. Complete.
56. Right of way should be provided to accommodate the Tamarack Drive and intersection
improvements at Meander Road including a westbound left turn lane on Meander with the
City’s preferred design alternative of a traditional intersection. With that said, a possible
future roundabout is a viable alternative; also provide the necessary right of way for this
intersection design.
In the “Site Plan & Street” section above, a comment was made about the design and
improvement of Tamarack Drive at Meander Road. The full intersection layout should be
designed with the project as proposed. If the full width of Tamarack adjacent to the
townhome development is not constructed along with the turn lanes on Meander, provide
an interim plan for this intersection as well.
Extend the right of way for the roundabout another 50’ in each direction (total of 300’). At
which time the remaining development occurs and the roundabout is constructed, the
right of way not needed will be vacated. Complete.
57. Based on the site plan access is proposed from the east/west private street to the
Tamarack Drive. This intersection would be located approximately 350 ft from Meander

would be further south and connect directly with a future frontage road extending east
from the future roundabout.
Ideally, the proposed access to the Tamarack Drive would be considered temporary until
the preferred access further south (to the frontage road) is viable once the remaining
commercial development to the south proceeds. At that time, the original access location
to Tamarack would be closed. At minimum, provide the necessary right of way to extend
the easterly access/road to the south to the extents of the proposed property line.
Alternatively, if the access to the townhomes from Tamarack Drive will be a permanent

approvals from watershed. Complete.
76. The developer will need to submit a Stormwater Management Plan and modeling
consistent with Medina’s Stormwater Design Manual. Complete.
77. The development will need to meet the City’s volume control requirement to capture and
retain onsite 1.1” of runoff from the net new impervious surface. By satisfying the volume
requirement the water quality requirement is considered met. Follow the City’s
Stormwater Design Manual for alternative credits towards the volume requirement if
infiltration is not feasible.
a. The submittal indicates that 8.55 acres of impervious is being added. This equates to
a volume of 0.79 acre/ft. Medina allows for 50% credit for using standard filtration.
The site proposes a wet sedimentation basin for the eastern portion of the site and a
wet sedimentation basin on the western portion of the site that will be a source for
irrigation onsite. Complete.
The required amount of volume for the site is 0.79 ac-ft. Below summarizes the
volume credits provided for the site:
· The western wet basin has an estimated reuse storage volume from
elevation 979 (2-feet off the bottom) to 982.5. According to the stage storage
tables for this pond in HydroCAD this volume is equivalent to 1.79 ac-ft.
· The total volume reduction amount estimated for the site is 1.869 ac-feet
while only 0.79 is required. Therefore, an excess volume of 1.079 ac-feet is
provided.
If filtration is not required by the watershed or City requirements (due to the proposed
water reuse), the City would prefer that this BMP is not installed as indicated. The
filtration basin has been revised to be a wet pond. The 10-foot safety bench has not been
provided for the entire perimeter of the pond (adjacent to the wetland). In-lieu of a safety
bench (if this cannot fit), provide an alternative such as a flatter slope or a smaller safety
bench.

on all sheets. For example, on Sheet 2 the wrong boundary for Wetland 3 is depicted.
Complete.
96. The site plan shows wetland impact in several locations. Wetland replacement plan
approval is required prior to any wetland impact.
A wetland replacement plan has been approved. Complete.
97. Restoration to area impacted for floodplain compensatory storage, as shown on the
Overall Compensatory Storage Floodplain exhibit (submitted 9/10/2020) should be
seeded using a seed mix appropriate for the expected hydrology. Complete
98. The plans must show the upland buffers widths, structure setbacks, and where the buffer
markers will be placed. The wetland south and east of the project is classified as a
Manage 1 and requires an average 30-foot buffer (minimum 20 feet). The existing buffer
shown is an average of 20 feet. Upland buffers and buffer setbacks will be required for
the project. The other wetlands on the site have not been evaluated for quality. A
management classification should be proposed.
The developer responded that management classifications were approved based on the
wetland delineation report approval. The Wetland Conservation Act does not regulate
wetland buffers or quality. The Notice of Decision was for boundary and type and does
not include an approval of quality or management classification. However, they are
proposing a 35-foot buffer (25-foot minimum) to meet the watershed district requirements
which will inherently meet the City’s buffer requirements for a Manage 1 wetland.
Complete.
99. The plans show a 6-foot bituminous trail located within the buffer of Wetland 2. Total
disturbance (permanent and temporary) must not exceed 8 feet in width and must be
located outside of the minimum width of the required upland buffer zone. Complete.
In order to calculate a letter of credit and construction engineering escrow amounts for the final
development agreement, an engineer’s estimate (in Excel format) of the proposed utility
improvements and a schedule for completion of construction will be required. The estimate
should also include the cost of landscaping items.
We would be happy to discuss this review in more detail. Please contact me at 763-287-8532 if
you have any questions or if you would like to set up a time to meet.
Sincerely,
WSB

BUFFER SEEDING NOTES
SEED MIXTURE SUPPLIERS AND APPROVAL
1.BWSR SEED MIXES SHALL BE ACQUIRED FROM SHOOTING STAR NATIVE SEEDS OR SIMILAR DISTRIBUTOR.
2.THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT SEED TAGS AND WRITTEN CERTIFICATION OF NATIVE SEED MIX CONTENTS AND SUPPLIERS FOR APPROVAL BY THE ENGINEER/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
3.AFTER COMPLETION OF FINAL GRADING, THE SEEDBED SHALL BE PREPARED AND SMOOTHED TO BREAK UP ROOT SYSTEMS AND SOIL CLODS.
4.PRIOR TO SEEDING, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL KILL AND PLOW OR DISC VEGETATION THAT COVERS MORE THAN 25 PERCENT OF THE GROUND IN THE AREA TO BE SEEDED.
5.THE SEEDBED SHALL BE PREPARED BY DECOMPACTING SOIL TO A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 12 INCHES AND AMMENDING SOIL WITH ORGANIC MATTER. SOIL DECOMPACTION WITHIN THE DRIP LINE OR CRITICAL ROOT ZONE OF TREES OR WITHIN 10 FEET OF UTILITIES WILL BE
ACCOMPLISHED SOLELY BY INCORPORATION OF ORGANIC MATTER.
6.SEEDING SHALL NOT BE CONDUCTED BETWEEN JULY 10 AND AUGUST 20.
SEED MIXTURES AND RATES
7.THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SEED: STATE SEED MIX 35-241 (MESIC PRAIRIE GENERAL) OR SIMILAR NATIVE MIX ON GRADED/DISTURBED DESIGNATED BUFFER AREAS.
8.SEED MIXES SHALL BE INSTALLED AT THE RATES SPECIFIED BELOW:
MIX LBS. PURE LIVE SEED / ACRE
35-251 11.5
SUBSTITUTIONS OF SIMILAR SPECIES OR MIXES MUST BE APPROVED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST.
SEEDING METHODS
10.SEED MIXES SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH:
·RESTORING & MANAGING NATIVE WETLAND & UPLAND VEGETATION (JACOBSON, 2006, MINNESOTA BOARD OF WATER & SOIL RESOURCES (BWSR) AND MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION [see http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/wetlands/publications/nativewetveg.pdf]),
·2014 SEEDING MANUAL (MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, 2014 [see http://www.dot.state.mn.us/environment/erosion/pdf/seedingmanual.pdf]), AND
·STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION, 2014 EDITION (MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, 2014).
11.SEED MIX 35-241 MAY BE BROADCAST OR SEEDED WITH A NATIVE GRASS DRILL.
12.AREAS SEEDED TO MIX 35-241 SHALL BE FIRMED WITH A ROLLING-TYPE PACKER WITHIN TWO DAYS AFTER SEEDING.
13.SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE MULCHED WITH MN/DOT TYPE 3 (MCIA CERTIFIED WEED FREE GRAIN STRAW) MULCH AT A RATE OF 2 TONS PER ACRE AND THE MULCH SHALL BE ANCHORED WITH A DISC OR TACKIFIER.
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
Vegetation within the applicable buffer areas will be managed for a minimum period of two years as specified in the Elm Creek Watershed Commission requirements.
1.Buffer areas will be seeded with a native Mesic Prairie General seed mix (35-241) or similar mix. The species list for the 35-241 seed mix is included with this document.
2.The seedbed preparation, seed mix application rates, and seeding methods to be used are detailed in the Buffer Seeding and Vegetation Management Plan.
3.A temporary cover crop will be used to stabilize slopes until native species establish and will be incorporated into the native seed mix.
4.If noxious weeds and invasive, non-native species are identified within the designated buffer areas during the first two years of establishment, reasonable efforts will be made to control these species using appropriately timed herbicide applications or other methods.
5.During the first two full growing seasons, the owner must replant any buffer strip vegetation that does not survive. The owner shall be responsible for reseeding and/or replanting if the buffer strip changes at any time through human intervention or activities. At a minimum the
buffer strip must be maintained as a “no mow” area.

RE: Department Updates
Chiefs Updates
A new Reserve Officer has been accepted. Justin Cook, who is a volunteer fire fighter with the
Rockford Fire Department, approached with interest in becoming a Reserve Officer. Justin went
through the application process and a background was completed by Investigator McKinley last
week. Cook will be a nice addition to our agency.
With the civil unrest early this year and the calls for police reform, I took a look at our policies and
procedures and found that on paper we were already ahead of the curve for compliance in areas of
De-escalation and Duty to Intervene. I did not just want to have a policy in place, so I was able to
locate training that supports those thoughts and policies. All sworn officers are now signed up for
online training in both areas. This is something that I am sure our Post Licensing Board will be
making mandatory in the future.
With the continued spike in COVID across the state, we are closely watching how the numbers are
really starting to affect local agencies and creating staffing issues. Our Lakes Area Emergency Plan
is still in place and we are all ready to assist others if needed. We currently have one officer out
right now who is awaiting testing after being in contact with another officer from another agency
who tested positive. We just received a large shipment of N-95 masks and continue to try and
procure other PPE items that are needed. Sergeant Boecker and I continue to look for PPE items as
is every other agency across the United States. I am confident that we are in very good shape when
it comes to PPE.
Patrol Updates
Patrol Updates 10/28/2020 through 11/09/2020
Patrol Activities – Between the dates of October 28, 2020 through November 9, 2020 our officers

assists to other agencies.
On 10/28/2020 officers were dispatched to a possible personal injury accident near Highway 55 and
Arrowhead Drive. During the morning commute a driver had been eastbound on Highway 55 and
stated they were unable to see stopped traffic due to the level of the sun and rear-ended a vehicle
which then rear-ended a second vehicle. While damage to vehicles was heavy, occupants sustained
apparent minimal injuries.
On 10/29/2020 officer was dispatched to a vehicle theft report in the 800 block of Tower Drive. A
business had reported a company vehicle missing from the property sometime overnight. A vehicle
theft report was taken, and the vehicle was entered as stolen. The vehicle was located that evening
by Minneapolis Police, in Minneapolis. Three of the wheels and rims along with the catalytic
converter were removed from the vehicle.
On 10/30/2020 officer took a report of a possible attempted burglary in the 100 block of Elsen Street
in the city of Loretto. The homeowner reported their dog barking in the middle of the night for an
unknown reason. The following morning the homeowner reported finding the garage service door
slightly open and appeared to have damage to the door handle, door, and door frame. Nothing was

On 10/31/2020 officers assisted West Hennepin Public Safety with a suspicious vehicle at a business
along Ihduhapi Trail in Independence. The business had reported several burglaries within the past
year where tools had been taken from a maintenance garage. Hennepin County Sheriff also
responded to the area to assist. The vehicle was located and stopped. The vehicle was found to be
stolen and two occupants were arrested.
On 10/31/2020 officers assisted Carver County Sheriff’s Office with a stolen vehicle that was being
tracked by a cell phone that was still in the vehicle. West Hennepin Public Safety located the
vehicle eastbound on County Road 6 and attempted to box it in. The vehicle struck a squad car and
was able to avoid being boxed in and a pursuit was initiated. The suspect vehicle eventually lost
control and drove into a pond along County Road 101 in Plymouth. Medina officers assisted with a
perimeter surrounding the suspect who was armed with a hatchet as he eventually exited the pond.
Other officers used less than lethal rounds and a Taser and were able to take the suspect into custody
without injuries.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council, through City Administrator Scott Johnson
FROM: Steve Scherer, Public Works Director
DATE: November 11, 2020
MEETING: November 17, 2020
SUBJECT: Public Works Update
STREETS
• We handled our second snow event last week. Even though Public Works pre-treated
with salt brine the wet snow quickly bonded, leaving the streets icy.
• The mass grading project at Meadowview Townhomes has started. We received and
addressed one complaint concerning a contractor who was staging on the street.
• Public Works placed over 500 fiberglass markers along snow routes. Including locations
that cause problems for the plows or personal property within the ROW.
• Final grade on our few remaining gravel roads was successfully completed prior to the
winter freeze.
WATER/SEWER/STORMWATER
• Staff collected quotes for the media replacement at the water treatment plant. The low
quote is around $95,000.
• The new 2020-2025 MS-4 Stormwater Permit is available. I will review the permit with
engineering. In the coming year Lisa DeMars will assist in developing our maintenance
policy. This will be included in the review for exposure to the numerous stormwater
details. As with other utilities there is a great deal of documentation required for
completion.
PARKS/TRAILS
• The trails have been plowed for the second time this year. We are utilizing both the
bobcat (with a plow) and the Polaris Ranger to clear the trails. It takes around 4 hours to
finish plowing the current trail milage.
• As soon as conditions are right, Public Works will begin flooding the skating rink /
making snow.
MISCELLANEOUS
• The gates and wiring for the compost / brush pile are almost complete. We will use the
off-season to deliberate, then finalize our operation policy. Deciding hours of use, how
we will give access to contractors, and resident notification are just a few items to
consider.
