MEMORANDUM
TO: Medina Park Commission
FROM: Lisa DeMars, Public Works Administrative Assistant
DATE OF REPORT: January 13, 2022
DATE OF MEETING: January 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Park Commission Meeting Report
1. Call to Order
Generally, the Chair or Vice Chair from the previous year runs the meeting until officers for the
new year are elected. In this case, 2021 Vice Chair Mary Morrison has stated that she is willing to
preside at the meeting until new officers are elected.
2. Changes to the Agenda
Staff is recommending holding the elections at the end of the meeting so that residents attending
the hearings do not need to sit through them. If the Commission would rather hold elections at the
beginning of the meeting, members can make a motion to amend the agenda as the first action after Call
to Order.
No attachments for this item.
3. Introductions of New Park Commissioner
Medina resident Steve Webster has been appointed to the Park Commission for a three-year
term expiring December 31, 2025. Park Commissioner Terry Sharp’s term has also been renewed for
three years.
We will take a few minutes at the beginning of the meeting for introductions. Virtual meetings
make introductions a lot more difficult. Although the City’s practice is to leave cameras off during the
meeting to reserve bandwidth and reduce distractions, I welcome everyone to turn on cameras during
introductions so we can try to (virtually) put faces to names. Following is the 2022 Park Commission
roster:
NAME TERM
MARY MORRISON 01/18 TO 12/23
TERRY SHARP 01/19 TO 12/24
TROY HUTCHINSON 01/20 TO 12/22
ANGELA BERNHARDT 01/20 TO 12/22
NILA NORMAN 01/21 TO 12/23
STEVE WEBSTER 01/22 TO 12/24
OPEN TBD TO 12/24
No attachments for this item.
5. City Council Update
This is a reoccurring agenda item to have the City Council Liaison to the Park Commission give
an update at each meeting on what is happening at the Council level. City Council member Joseph
Cavanaugh has been appointed as the Liaison to the Park Commission again for 2022. The Council liaison
provides an update from City Council meetings at each meeting.
No attachments for this item.

6. Staff Report
a. 2022 Park Commission Representation at Council Meeting. Attached is the roster for Park
Commission representation at City Council meetings for 2022. Your attendance provides a park
resource and communication liaison between the Park Commission and other City government
bodies. If you have a schedule conflict, please arrange a trade with another park commissioner.
b. Park Commissioner Terms. One Park Commissioner seat became open after John Jacob was
appointed to the Planning Commission on January 4, 2022. A solicitation to encourage residents
to apply for the Park Commission will be posted in the February Medina Message newsletter and
is currently advertised on the City website and Facebook page.
c. General Items. This agenda item is to give a verbal update on any other general park items.
10. Appointment of Officers
At the first meeting of each year, the Park Commission nominates and votes on its officers. The
positions that the Park Commission will be nominating are: Chair, Vice-Chair, & Secretary. In the past,
staff has offered to run the meeting during the elections so there is no appearance of conflict if the
person running the meeting is nominated for a position. Staff is happy to do so if the Commission
prefers.
The Commission will elect the Chair first through the following process. The Vice Chair and
Secretary election follow the same procedure.
• Nominations are accepted. Any member may be nominated, and members may nominate
themselves.
• Commissioners vote for their preferred candidate. A roll call vote will need to be held because
of the virtual nature of the meeting. The City Attorney has advised that the Commission should
not vote by secret ballot so that each member’s vote can be recorded as described by the Open
Meeting Law.
No attachments for this item.
Action Required: Nominate and Vote-In Officers.
11. Additions to Agenda
If any Park Commissioner wishes to add an item to the agenda after the agenda has already been
posted, the agenda item must be proposed at this point in the meeting. The Park Commission must agree
to add the item by motion.
No attachments for this item.
13. 2022 Park Commission Goals
This will be a time to brainstorm different projects the Park Commission wants to accomplish in
2022 and looking forward. Park Commissioners should spend some time creating a list of ideas prior to
the meeting. At the meeting, we can discuss ideas, seek volunteer subcommittee members, and create a
timeline to prioritize these projects. Staff has started to create a list of possible 2022 goals based on past
discussions and direction from the City Council. Please review the final approved 2022 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Additionally, attached is the final Hunter Lions Park Concept Plan and results
from the Lakeshore Park Survey.
See attached list of ideas, 2022 CIP, final Hunter Lions Park Concept Plan and Lakeshore Park
Survey results.
Recommended Action: Brainstorm ideas, volunteer for specific roles, and establish goals for 2022.
Staff representation at the December 15th Park Commission meeting will be Public Works
Director Steve Scherer, Public Works Administrative Assistant Lisa DeMars and Planning
Director Dusty Finke.

1 Don't like this idea at all. It's too urban feeling.12/28/2021 10:33 AM
2 Suc h a hoop would require a barrier to prev ent the ball from rolling down hill to the lake, but it's
a great idea.
12/17/2021 1:46 PM
3 There is a basketball c ourt over by the ice rink that rarely gets used. The BB court adds
impervious s urf ace near the lak e where we should be encouraging infiltration as muc h as
possible. I say "no" to this feature, ins tead upgrade t he existing one near the rink /Volley ball
court.
12/17/2021 10:37 AM

12 I think the park should remain for s maller c hildren. It doesn’t work to hav e Mom’s wit h little
ones and then groups of older teens . Given the crowded nature of this park, meaning the
houses are v ery close to this park , it limits the purpose available. Keep it st rictly for parents
and young children - don’t mix the two.
12/7/2021 6:33 PM
13 Probably an OK idea.12/6/2021 8:57 PM

16 If it 's not too large, & if it doesn't create ex c es s run-of f into the lake. Ideally, for a protected

18 Bas k etball is a fun ac tivity for people of all ages , great idea. Not sure if the area is long
enough to incorporate a shuf fle board court along side of it, that would be a fun activ ity as well.
12/2/2021 10:29 AM
19 I think this is a good use of the space. The c ourt would prov ide a s pace for basketball or

11/10/2021 6:21 PM
53 I like the idea of a hard s urf ace court The spac e ment ioned is large enough for a Pic k leball
court too (20’x44’). It would be great t o include lines and a portable net. Pickleball is a fast
growing s port that both kids and adults (y oung and old c ould enjoy) making this a more us eful

1 Plan looks great, thank y ou!! I would like to see something done with the s torm drain located
at t he int ers ection of Brook Street and Lak es hore Av e. A torrent of water flows downs lope off 3
streets into this drain, creat ing a direct c onduit for salts, c hemicals and hard metals int o the
lak e. The past attempt to fix the issue was poorly done: rip-rap may slow the erosion at the
site, but does little to filter out c ontaminant s. During the recent pipe rupture, s ediment was
flowing into the lak e after heav y rainfall. Then during the s nowstorm that followed, s alt was
added to the streets whic h was washed into the lake during the thaw that followed. I am not
sure what the s olution is (rain garden?) but I walk t he s treet daily and can see that t his is a
major point-s ourc e pollution c ontributor. And it is painf ul for my dog to on s treets following this
heavy-handed use of road salt. The new changing weather patterns of more Freeze-thaw
events s hould make the Cit y think again about dumping salt in vulnerable locations such as
this, when a thaw is k nown to be f ollowing the f reez e/s now. I apprec iate that public s afety is
your primary goal, but maybe educ ation that one c annot ex pec t to driv e as fast during thes e
events? Or s treet warning sign stat ing that t he c urv e near this spot might be treacherous due
to reduced salting at this site in order to reduc e s alt in the lak e? I have seen street Hazard
signs in CA wildfire zones. Thanks for pass ing this on :-)

that whatever c hanges are made t heir is still ample room for parking truc ks and boat trailers
(permit only ). Outs ide of that the kids hav e enjoyed t he playground and t he green spac e to run
and play. I wouldn't add too many pic nic tables as I rarely s ee them used here.

4 I would like an additional fishing doc k for the neighborhood and a staircas e down to the doc k
rather then some of the s uggested improvements like the k ay ak rac k and bas k etball court.
One of the selling features of the neighborhood is lake access and the c ity could really
improve this feature to inc reas e ac c es s and c reate a more func tional launch. The playground
improvements s eem neces s ary giv en how little their is to do at the current park, but the green
space currently work s just fine so I don't see much value in leveling t his personally. For my
family and many others the launch and lak e ac c es s are how we us e the park the mos t. Thank
you for tak ing the time to allow public c omments and inves ting in our neighborhood!

PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director
DATE: January 13, 2022
MEETING: January 19, 2022 Park Commission
SUBJECT: Public Hearing – Medina Ventures – Medina Park and Boardwalk -
1472 Highway 55 (PID 0211823330003) – PUD Concept Plan
Summary of Request
Medina Ventures has requested review of a PUD Concept Plan
for a development including commercial uses and a three-unit
townhome located along Meander Road east of Arrowhead Drive,
west of Fields of Medina West.
The subject site is over 18 acres in size, but the majority of the
property is within the large wetland located west and north of the
site. The property north of Meander is vacant and contains
approximately 1.5 net acres, and the property south of Meander
Road is approximately 4.9 net acres and includes a barn structure and with a grove of trees
around the building. An aerial of the subject site and surrounding land can be found on the
following page.
Surrounding land uses include Fields of Medina (LDR) to the
northeast and property guided for future LDR development to the
north. Property to the southeast is guided for future Commercial
development and currently farmed. Highway 55 is located to the
south and a large wetland to the west. The wetland extends onto the
subject site, and the majority of the northern section of the site is
within the wetland.
PUD Concept Plan
The purpose of a PUD Concept Plan is to provide feedback to the applicant prior to a formal
application. The Planning Commission, Park Commission and City Council do not take any
formal action and the feedback is purely advisory.
Purpose of a Planned Unit Development
According to Section 827.25, PUD provisions are established to provide comprehensive
procedures and standards designed to allow greater flexibility in the development of
neighborhoods and/or nonresidential areas by incorporating design modifications and allowing
for a mixture of uses. The PUD process, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this
Code related to setbacks, lot area, width and depth, yards, and other development standards is
intended to encourage:

1. Innovations in development to the end that the growing demands for all styles of economic
expansion may be met by greater variety in type, design, and placement of structures and by the
conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments.
2. Higher standards of site and building design.
3. The preservation, enhancement, or restoration of desirable site characteristics such as high quality
natural resources, wooded areas, wetlands, natural topography and geologic features and the
prevention of soil erosion.
4. Innovative approaches to stormwater management and low-impact development practices which
result in volume control and improvement to water quality beyond the standard requirements of
the City.
5. Maintenance of open space in portions of the development site, preferably linked to surrounding
open space areas, and also enhanced buffering from adjacent roadways and lower intensity uses.
6. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly
development and use pattern and more convenience in location and design of development and
service facilities.
Meander Boardwalk and Park Page 3 of 7 January 19, 2022
PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting
7. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lower
development costs and public investments.
8. A development pattern that effectuates the objectives of the Medina Comprehensive Plan. (PUD is
not intended as a means to vary applicable planning and zoning principles.)
9. A more desirable and creative environment than might be possible through the strict application on
zoning and subdivision regulations of the City.
The applicant proposes the PUD primarily to allow flexibility in terms of architectural design for
the commercial buildings and also to allow for broader outdoor uses in the area of the boardwalk
and gazebo. Under the CH standards, these outdoor spaces would be more limited through a
Conditional Use permit.
The PUD could also allow for the three-unit townhome structure on the northern property.
Generally single-family and twinhomes are permitted in the R1 and R2 district, but the PUD
could permit the three-unit building while still only just meeting the minimum density of the
LDR land use.
The proposed uses and density are generally aligned with the underlying zoning districts.
Proposed Site Layout-Commercial
The proposed commercial concept plan shows seven primary buildings with an approximate
floor area of 40,000 square feet along with an outdoor gazebo space of approximately 1,600
square feet. The applicant has indicated that they would likely plat buildings onto separate lots
to allow flexibility for sale to different owners, but the concept plan does not specify how these
lots may be divided.
The following table compares the proposed concept with the dimensional standards of the CH
district. Setbacks are measured to the exterior of the site since the location of internal property
lines are not identified.
Proposed CH Requirement
Minimum Lot Size Not specified 1 acre (0.5 acre if
coordinated)
Minimum Lot Width Not specified 100 feet
Minimum Lot Depth Not specified 120 feet

Hardcover 43% (70% of net area) 75%
Meander Boardwalk and Park Page 4 of 7 January 19, 2022
PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting
The concept plan appears to exceed the dimensional standards of the CH district around the
exterior of the lot with the exception of the eastern drive aisle of the parking lot. Staff has
recommended adjustments to the parking lot/circulation. See transportation and parking sections
for more information.
The applicant has indicated that the boardwalk and outdoor spaces are intended as extensions of
the other uses on the site. The applicant indicates that the gazebo structure in the southwest
corner of the site relates to the venue use, and the applicant has indicated additional recreational
amenities may be located near the gazebo.
Proposed Site Layout – Residential
The concept plan proposes three attached single-family homes north of Meander. The property
north of Meander Road contains approximately 1.5 net acres, so three units would meet the
bottom of the allowed range of the LDR land use.
As described above, the R1 zoning district is the main intended district to implement
development in the LDR land use. The R2 zoning district is an alternative at the City’s
discretion to smaller lots to cluster homes to protect natural resources and open space. As noted
above, a PUD allows “deviation from the strict provisions of this Code related to setbacks, lot
area, width and depth, yards, and other development standards” to serve the purposes described
in the PUD ordinance. To analyze whether to approve a rezoning to PUD, the City compares the
request to the expectations of the underlying zoning designation.
The R1 district is generally limited to detached single-family homes and the R2 zoning district
allows single- and two-family dwellings. The applicant’s concept proposes a three-unit building,
which would be allowed in the R3 zoning district, but proposes a lower density than required in
R3. Staff believes the best comparable is likely the R2 zoning district, but the following table
compares the concept to the R1, R2, and R3 districts for context.

The concept plan does not account for the minimum required upland buffer to the west of the
units and shows approximately 20’ from the building to the shared drive. Staff recommends that
the layout of the units be updated to meet the minimum buffer standards. It appears that the units
could shift to the south where there is additional width to the edge of the wetland.
Meander Boardwalk and Park Page 5 of 7 January 19, 2022
PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting
The applicant has attempted to align the shared driveway for the units with the commercial
access to the west. It appears that construction of this driveway to the north would likely
necessitate wetland impacts and result in a long, curvy driveway. Although aligning access
points is generally preferred, staff believes offsetting the drive for the three units may be a better
alternative in this case if it can be done without interfering with turn lanes to other sites.
Staff believes allowing attached units to meet the minimum density in this situation may result in
a better outcome than limiting to single- or two-family units.
Park/Trails/Multi-Modal
The City’s subdivision ordinance requires the following
to be dedicated for parks, trails and public open space
purposes, at the City’s option:
• Land – 0.73 acre – Up to 10% of the buildable land
• Cash-in-lieu of land – estimated $60,000-$80,000
(to be confirmed by City Assessor) – 8% of the pre-developed market value; residential
portion subject to minimum of $3500/residential unit, maximum of $8000/residential unit
• Combination of the above
The Park at the Fields of Medina is located approximately ¼ acre to the northeast of the site and
no additional park improvement are identified in the City’s Park Plan.
An existing trail is located north of Meander Road to the northeast
of the site. The City’s trail plan calls for the trail to be extended
westerly to Arrowhead Drive. Staff would recommend that
necessary easements be provided along the north of Meander Road and that the trail be
constructed in connection with the development.
The applicant proposes sidewalk, boardwalk and trail connections within the commercial
development as well. It appears the sidewalk and boardwalk are extended to the eastern property
line in two locations which would allow connectivity to future development to the east.
The potential route for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail is also in the vicinity of this property.
The route shows the corridor going from north of Fields of Medina with a grade-separated
crossing of Highway 55. The conceptual route approved by City Council for consideration in the
Master Plan is shown in green on the aerial on the next page. The subject site is outlined in pink.
Staff believes it may be advisable to consider a trail easement for a possible route along the edge
of this site, especially north of Meander Road. In general, it may be advantageous to require
dedication of more easements than may be necessary to provide more flexibility to link the
corridor with adjacent sites. The City may not utilize all of the easements, but could vacate in
the future.
Park Dedication Options:
• Land – 0.73 acre
• Cash-in-lieu – est. $60,000-$80,000
• Combination
• Trail along north of Meander
• Diamond Lake - option

PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting
Staff Comments
Staff recommends that, at a minimum, the extension of the trail along the north of Meander Road
be required for park dedication. Construction of the trail should be considered at least through
the upland portion of the site.
The Park Commission can discuss whether requiring easements for a potential route for the
Diamond Lake Regional Trail should be considered. If a route along the eastern edge of the
property is considered, an alternative would be for Three Rivers Park to consider acquisition of
the 60-foot wide strip of property to the east.
Park Commissioners should provide feedback on the parks and trail improvements related to the
development. As noted previously, no formal motion is taken on concept plan reviews.

Meander Park & Boardwalk Development
1472 Highway 55 Medina, MN 55340
PUD Concept Plan Submission
Medina Ventures, LLC
December 8, 2021
Meander Park & Boardwalk – Medina, MN, by Medina Ventures, LLC
Project Narrative
Meander Park & Boardwalk is a proposed commercial planned unit development located on the north
side of Highway 55, 900 feet east of Arrowhead Drive.
As the over 18-acre site is surrounded by wetlands to the west and to the south, a wetland delineation
was conducted in September of 2021, which revealed approximately 6 acres of developable land on the
site. Access to the site is located at Meander Road on the north side of the main property.
A development review meeting took place on October 29, 2021 with the City Planner, Dusty Finke, and
Public Works Director, Steve Scherer. From discussions with the City Planning department and
consultation with the City engineer, the main road access to the development should be placed at least
four hundred feet from the nearest intersection, which is located to the east and serves as the main
access to the Fields of Medina West neighborhood.
There have been multiple iterations of the concept plan reviewed by the Development team, and the
current site plan is optimized to achieve the overall intent of the development,: To provide a walkable,
aesthetically pleasing entertainment and relaxation destination that incorporates the natural beauty of
the land while providing access to desirable amenities that benefit nearby residents of Medina as well as
other surrounding communities.
The proposed development achieves this intent by focusing on the incorporation of some unique design
elements described below. These elements all support the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Community
Goals which are noted and described in more detail below.
The Boardwalk
The most important of these is a long and winding boardwalk that follows the natural curves of the
existing wetlands. This expansive boardwalk is meant to serve three main purposes for the
development. The first is functional in that it will provide the buildings within the development, the
benefit of having, if they so choose, an additional access point with visibility and/or outdoor seating and
service areas to potential guests, depending on the type of business. The second purpose of the
boardwalk is to immerse all guests, including the public, in the natural beauty of the wetlands and to
interact directly with the wildlife that frequent the site. The final purpose of the boardwalk is to provide
a unique design aesthetic for the entire development that sets it apart from the majority of other
commercial developments in neighboring suburbs, where asphalt tends to dominate majority of the
public access points.
These three functions directly support multiple parts of the Comprehensive Plan’s community goals,
including preserving rural vistas, open spaces, wetlands and encouraging an attractive, vibrant business
community that complements residential areas of the City. Furthermore, if given prudent consideration,
the boardwalk could be key in helping preserve and expand the trail and park system to connect
neighborhoods and encourage healthy lifestyles for its residents via the Diamond Lake Regional Trail.
Parks, Plazas and Ponding
The next unique component of Meander Park & Boardwalk will be to incorporate parks, plazas and
ponding throughout the development. As guests arrive, their eyes will be drawn to ponding and green
space surrounding the entrance at Meander Road. These green spaces will feature trees, native grasses,
small flower gardens and some designated areas for casual lawn games such as bean bags, shuffleboard
and bocce ball. As guests park and begin walking toward the site, Meander Park’s plazas will greet them
next. Whether it is the calming sounds from the water fountains or the visual appeal of locally
commissioned art sculptures, the plazas create an incredible space between buildings that provides an
ambience that will make people forget they just pulled off the Highway. The parks, plazas and ponding
component also supports the Comprehensive Plan’s community goals by preserving open spaces.
The Venue
The anchor of the development will be a multi-story entertainment venue. The venue will be majority-
owned, financed and run by the developer which will not only provide a beautiful building on-site, but
one that will also attract the type of businesses that a high-end, venue would lend itself to. The venue
will be designed to host a wide variety of events such as weddings, celebrations of life, corporate events,
smaller music recitals, artistic performances, fine art displays, botanical showcases, local fundraisers,
fashion shows, speaking engagements, religious celebrations, and other cultural experiences.
The design of the building will have a focus on form and function with the intent of being able to serve a
wide range of event types and thus attract a larger network of people, businesses and organizations. We
believe the demographics of Medina and the surrounding communities tend to be highly educated,
upper-middle class residents with an increasingly diverse population of religious, racial and ethnic
backgrounds, which this venue would seek to serve through its ability to accommodate the needs of
potential clients, whatever those needs may be. For example, the venue itself will feature a large,
commissary kitchen that will be built to accommodate a variety of pre-approved local restaurants and
caterers in the area. So, whether it be a classic American meat and potatoes party, a private Diwali
celebration or a vegan luncheon, the venue’s business model can provide the necessary flexibility. This
model also is attractive given the current state of the food service industry and the desire of many
companies within that market to expand or begin to provide off-site catering. Furthermore, the venue
will be designed with outdoor space available for professional tenting, allowing guests the option of
holding a ceremony, reception or event outdoors. There will also be areas designated for lawn games
and commissioned art sculptures to adorn the venue and park plaza areas as time and resources allow.
Lastly, the conservatory and gazebo will be additional highlights of the venue explained below.
The Venue: Conservatory
If meandering down a boardwalk on a fall Friday afternoon with close friends or seeing a child smile
while snacking on an ice cream cone in summer isn’t enough, imagine walking through an expansive
conservatory on a day with clear blue skies in the heart of a cold Minnesota winter. The conservatory
will add another unique element to Meander Park and, just like the other elements, will serve more than
one purpose. First of all, the conservatory will serve as an additional feature to the venue providing a
space that adds grandeur to a wedding ceremony, visceral intimacy to a celebration of life or perhaps
just a little humidity and respite from the bitter cold and dryness of a cold winter’s day. Lastly, the
conservatory will operate with the intention of being open to guests of the development as well as for
private events and thus provide additional opportunities to utilize the development. This could include,
educational opportunities for local school field trips, a non-profit brunch fundraiser or private soirees for
any reason whatsoever.
The Venue: Gazebo Area
The Gazebo Area is located in a small portion of the site near the southwest corner of the property. We
expect this area to be accessed via an extension of the boardwalk, and may feature elements like a small
bar, fire pit, and/or intimate gathering space for a private ceremony. Given the relatively close proximity
to Highway 55 and the potential noise and visual challenges it could bring, this part of the development
is being reviewed with additional research required to determine what may work best. Regardless of the
final design, this space will provide yet another area of the development for guests to enjoy.
The venue, it’s nearby gazebo and conservatory components also effectively support the community
goals of the Comprehensive Plan in similar ways as the previous elements, especially in the promotion of
public and private gathering places and civic events that serve the entire community.
Mixture of Additional Businesses
Although the developer will not have full control over what businesses decide to call Meander Park &
Boardwalk home, we plan to market directly to the following types of businesses: Family restaurants,
professional offices, cocktail lounges, breweries, indoor/outdoor food halls, daycares, salons, med spas,
bakeries, ice cream shops, toy stores, fast casual food services, boutique fitness facilities, wine/craft
brew shops and/or photography studios.
At this stage, aside from the venue and its components, we have six additional buildings/spaces on the
site plan we would like to have occupied by the businesses mentioned above. Our current priority is
attracting both a restaurant and daycare as we feel these two business types are critical to the
development’s overall success. The restaurant is a priority given the large and ongoing demand for
additional dining options in Medina and the daycare to help fill the large need for families with young
children, some who continue to be on waiting lists at several daycare centers throughout the West
Metro. Also, these two businesses in particular help offset parking given the former will see the most
traffic on nights and weekends and the latter on weekdays alone.
North Property Villas
The north side of the development, which is located north of Meander Road and just west of the Fields
of Medina neighborhood, is zoned Low Density Residential. Although this is in direct contrast to the
south side described above which is zoned Highway Commercial, we are still looking to develop the
northern portion and believe the approximately 1.5 acres of buildable land would allow for up to three
villa style dwellings. By developing the north and south properties at the same time, the timing impact
of construction operations could be minimized and could provide a better economy of scale for the
entire project. Especially considering the sewer and water connections that will be required on both
sides of Meander Road. The access drive to the north side of the development would be to the west to
line up directly across from the entrance to the south side of the development. These villas would be
constructed to take advantage of the sweeping views of protected wetland located on and just west of
the property and could also take into account the buildable upland area and how it tapers from being
fairly wide near Meander Road to narrow as it extends north.

PUD General Plan/Preliminary Plat Park Commission Meeting
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director
DATE: January 13, 2022
MEETING: January 19, 2022 Park Commission
SUBJECT: BPS Properties, LLC – 4250-4292 Arrowhead Dr. – Marsh Pointe Preserve –
PUD General Plan and Preliminary Plat
Summary of Request
BPS Properties, LLC has requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
General Plan of Development and Preliminary Plat for a 30-unit
detached villa development at located at 4250-4292 Arrowhead Drive,
east of Arrowhead Drive and south of Bridgewater.
The subject site includes four existing rural lots totaling over 36 acres in
size, but a majority of the land is within the large wetland to the south and east, with
approximately 16.25 upland acres and 12.16 net acres after subtracting wetland buffers. The east
side of the property is a peninsula out into the large wetland area.
The aerial on page 4 shows the subject site and surrounding land uses as follows:
• Bridgewater at Lake Medina is to the north
• Foxberry Farms is located across the wetland to the east
• Medina Lake Preserve (City passive park) is to the northeast
• Future Business Land (currently farmed) is to the west
• Future Low Density Residential located to the south
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning
The subject site is guided for Low Density Residential (LDR) development and zoned Rural
Residential-Urban Reserve (RR-UR). The LDR land use allows development with a density
between 2-3 units/acre.
The purpose of the R1 zoning district is to be the default zoning for development within the LDR
land use. The R2 zoning district is also an alternative which the City has the discretion to apply
to LDR property to allow smaller lots to cluster homes to preserve natural areas and open spaces.
The applicant proposes a Planned Unit Development (PUD), which allows an applicant to
request flexibility from the standard regulations to support a development which better achieves
City objectives. The City has a good deal of discretion whether to approve a PUD as an
alternative to standard zoning.
MEMORANDUM
• 30 detached villas
• 12.16 net acres
• 2.47 unit/net acre
• 36+ gross acres
• Guided LDR (2-3 u/a)
Agenda Item: 8

Proposed Site Layout
The concept plan proposes 30 detached single-family one-story villas. This density falls within
the center of the LDR density allowance.
The applicant’s concept is patterned after the R2 zoning district, and the following table
compares the concept to the R1 and R2 district requirements. The flexibility being requested as
part of the PUD are highlighted in yellow.

Transportation
The applicant proposes a new public street accessing Arrowhead Drive near the southern
property boundary.
Arrowhead Drive will be realigned this year as part of the construction of new Chippewa Road to
connect with Weston Woods west of the site. The applicant has proposed the new access for
Marsh Pointe (“Street A” on the plans) near the southern property line as recommended by staff.
The City Engineer recommends that turn lanes be provided on Arrowhead Drive at the new
roadway.
Staff recommends that the street layout approaching Arrowhead Drive be adjusted to flatten the
series of curves. Staff also recommends that Outlot D, at the southeast corner of Arrowhead
Drive and the new street be dedicated as right-of-way. This would provide flexibility to realign
the intersection when and a street is continued to the south.
The proposed street terminates in a cul-de-sac with a length of over 2,100 feet which serves 30
lots. Because of the large wetland and depth of the property, there is not a feasible alternative to
continue this street in any direction. The subdivision ordinance limits cul-de-sac length to 750
feet or 20 homes. The applicant proposes to allow the longer cul-de-sac as part of the PUD
flexibility, and notes that there really is not an alternative for the length. Staff believes this is a
reasonable approach.

PUD General Plan/Preliminary Plat Park Commission Meeting
Park/Trails/Multi-Modal
The City’s subdivision ordinance requires the following to be dedicated for parks, trails and
public open space purposes, at the City’s option:
• Land – 1.6 acres – Up to 10% of the buildable land
• Cash-in-lieu of land – TBD, but likely between $175,000-$250,000 – $8% of the pre-
developed market value; minimum of $3500/residential unit, maximum of
$8000/residential unit
• Combination of the above
The City’s Parks and Trails plan have identified important improvements within the subject
property:
• Trail connection from Arrowhead Drive to Medina Lake Preserve
• Parking/trailhead for Medina Lake Preserve
• In addition, the City Council approved of a potential route for the Diamond Lake
Regional Trail which may go through the site from Arrowhead Drive to the “peninsula”
and then potentially include a boardwalk south across the large wetland. This route is
shown with a green line on the aerial below.
Marsh Pointe Preserve Page 4 of 5 January 18, 2022
PUD General Plan/Preliminary Plat Park Commission Meeting
The applicant has attempted to address these identified needs within the plan. A trail is proposed
along the northern property line from Arrowhead Drive to Medina Lake Preserve. The applicant
adjusted the location to behind Block 3 as requested during concept plan review to reduce
driveway crossings. The applicant shows substantial amounts of planting adjacent to the trail.
Staff recommends a condition that the plantings be located in a way that they will not overgrow
the trail.
The applicant proposes to construct on-street nose-in parking adjacent to Medina Lake Preserve.
The parking is proposed partially within Medina Lake Preserve. The Park Commission was
open to the parking extending into the park if tree removal was minimal. Staff believes it is
acceptable to extend into the park as shown. It appears that the parking spaces could be installed
with the removal of approximately 3 significant trees and a large amount of brush. Staff believes
the removal of some of the brush may be a benefit because it may make Medina Lake Preserve
more inviting from the parking area.
The applicant has also shown a location for the continuation of the Three Rivers trail from
Medina Lake Preserve along the west of the cul-de-sac. The applicant shows this trail as gravel
for the short-term, prepared for paving by Three Rivers in the future.
Staff also recommends that the Park Commission and City Council discuss whether the City
should require full construction of the trail from Medina Lake Preserve to the wetland to the
south at this time, or only secure the easement for future construction. This trail is intended to be
transferred to Three Rivers Park District if and when they construct a boardwalk to the south.
However, it is likely the trail would lead to a dead-end for a fairly long time. The trail would be
along the wetland and may be desirable even if users need to turn around. An amenity at the end
of the trail may also serve as a destination in the interim.
Staff recommends that a trail easement also be required over the wetland to the east of the
homesites, to allow potential boardwalk location from the east side of Medina Lake Preserve to
the Park at the Fields of Medina as shown in the potential Diamond Lake master plan.
The applicant had proposed a small HOA park to serve the residents of the neighborhood during
concept plan review. The Park Commission and Council did not express a lot of interest in the
park, and the applicant has removed it from the plans.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the following be required for park dedication and as public amenities of
the PUD:
1) Trail construction from Arrowhead Drive to Medina Lake Preserve
2) Trail easements as necessary for trail outside of right-of-way
3) Trail easement along the west of the cul-de-sac for potential Diamond Lake trail location
4) Trail easement over wetland area east of Block 5
5) Construction of parking spaces adjacent to “Street A” at Medina Lake Preserve
Staff also recommends that the Park Commission discuss whether the City should require
construction of the trail from Medina Lake Preserve to the wetland to the south at this time, or
only secure the easement for future construction. It is likely the trail would lead to a dead-end

for a fairly long time. However, the trail would be along the wetland and may be desirable even
if users need to turn around. An amenity at the end of the trail may also serve as a destination.

Marsh Point Preserve – Medina, MN, by BPS Properties, LLC
Project Narrative
Marsh Pointe Preserve is a proposed redevelopment of four existing single family homesites.
The properties are located along a private roadway on the east side of Arrowhead Drive approximately
one-half mile north of Highway 55. According to Hennepin County Property website, three of the
existing homes were built in 1979 and one in 1993. Prior to the homes being constructed, the land was
open space and tilled farmland, per inspection of historical aerial photographs. Older photos indicate
the minimal presence of trees on the site.
The site is surrounded on the south and east by a large wetland. A wetland delineation was
completed in June 2021. The north line abuts the Bridgewater at Lake Medina platted additions. The
developable portion of the site is elongated and narrow, running east to west, resembling a peninsula
on the east end. There are no streets stubbed to the site. Street access is only available via a
connection to Arrowhead Drive. Sewer and water connection is also available along Arrowhead Drive.
Numerous development scenarios have been explored through the concept plan design process.
The alternative of constructing a roundabout connection at Arrowhead Drive was incorporated into a
previous design. However, due to environmental constraints on the site’s developable area, the platting
layout did not support a quantity of lots sufficient to support the added construction cost of a
roundabout. Submittal of the August 20, 2021 version of the preliminary plat proposed 38 lots but
through city review, was found to have excessive wetland impact and provided insufficient wetland
buffer.
Continued study and concept plan renditions brought the site configuration to the current
proposal, where a street connection to Arrowhead Drive is proposed, located 300 feet from the
proposed realigned connection of Arrowhead Drive to Chippewa Road (as shown on the Weston Woods
Preliminary Plat.) In order to provide a lot density greater than two units/acre and an average wetland
buffer width of 50’, a Planned Unit Development application is proposed, which includes a few
deviations from the City of Medina’s R2 zoning lot standards.
Both the previous and current development layouts necessitate the platting of a cul de sac that
exceeds the maximum length per city code. There is no street or right of way stub to the property with
the exception of at Arrowhead Drive and the site is surrounded by wetlands on the south and east. To
utilize the property to the best and highest use, the nearly 2,300-foot long cul de sac is necessary, in
order to serve the development with public street access.
The utilization of the PUD process allows for platting of a number of lots (30 proposed) that
provides for a feasible per-lot development cost, minimizes wetland impact, provides buffer having
width no less than 30’ and an average width of more than 50 feet. Furthermore, tree impact is less than
the earlier development proposal.
Wetland impact cannot be avoided in the construction of street A as it extends to the east
portion of the project. Presently, a driveway crosses the wetland, serving the two homes on the east.
The grade of the new street will need to be raised to provide adequate cover for the proposed utilities.
The combined roadway widening and the slope banks propose to impact 11,471 s.f. of wetland. If the
street was reduced from 28’ wide to 24’ wide along the north side, as a part of the PUD approval,
wetland impact could possibly be reduced by approximately 1,400 s.f.

The developer has selected to work with one builder, Charles Cudd Company, which can
customize the design of homes to suitable fit the building pads proposed within the development.
Charles Cudd Co. proposes homes that are better suited for buyers having a lifestyle characterized as
“empty nesters”, typically retired or nearing retirement – one level homes, well apportioned with upper
bracket sale values. Charles Cudd Company has built several successful neighborhoods in the city of
Medina and looks forward to being a part of what they feel will be a beautiful new community.
All of the homes will be single-story with a height of approximately 32’ to 34’ from the front
grade. Each home will either have a lookout or walkout lower level. Owner’s suites will be located on
the main floor. The homes will range in size from approximately 3,200 to 4,400 finished sq ft.
Photographs showing examples of exterior and interior styles and designs are appended to this
narrative.
A Home Owner’s Association will be formed for the platted lots within the neighborhood. The
HOA will own, maintain and operate (as applicable) the irrigation system and appurtenances, retaining
wall, fencing, entrance monument and common space. As individual lots will not be allowed to connect
to the public water system for irrigation, a stormwater re-use irrigation system is proposed.
The pumping station will be located adjacent to the east stormwater basin – Pond 3P. An
irrigation main will be installed generally running along the rear of blocks 3 and 5, but will also cross the
right of way to server blocks 1, 2 and 4 as well. This will provide connection availability for each home.
Certain portions of the common space may also be irrigated. It is anticipated that an HOA owned well
will be drilled to augment the required irrigation volume.

CITY OF MEDINA
APPLICATION FOR PLANNING CONSIDERATION
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. on behalf of the Cates Family is requesting a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment in reference to the property referred to as CATES RANCH INDUSTRIAL, located on Willow
Drive, north of Highway 55, in the City of Medina, Hennepin County Minnesota (see Exhibit A – Location
Map).
Project Background
The Cates Family is proposing to develop two parcels (Parcel IDs 00411823110002 and
0411823140004) for three industrial buildings. The buildings are intended to be used for warehouse or
light manufacturing, compatible with an “Industrial Park (IP)” Zoning. Development of this property will
require an Amendment to the Medina 2040 Comprehensive Plan to change the Future Land Use Map
classification of this property from “Future Development Area (FDA)” to “Business (B)”. This amendment
to the Future Land Use will allow for a rezoning of the property, which is currently in the “Rural
Residential-Urban Reserve (RR-UR)” zoning district.
The property is governed by an existing Stipulation of Agreement dated November 8, 2000, between the
Cates family and City of Medina, under which the City received fee title to certain portions of the Cates
property for reconstruction/realignment of Chippewa Road and Willow Drive, respectively. In exchange for
these conveyances, the City contractually obligated itself to amend the land use designation of the
remaining Cates property to allow for commercial use, subject to the City’s normal zoning policies. The
City is legally obligated to approve this land use designation.
The subject property is 67.12 acres and consists of agricultural and rural residential land uses. The
proposed development will include three industrial/warehouse buildings equaling a total area of
approximately 664,830 sq. ft. (see Exhibit B – Conceptual Site Plan). The front side of the buildings will
face the roads or property lines and there will be two rows of associate vehicle parking (795 parking
spaces proposed). The truck courts and loading docks will be placed rear of the buildings in the center of
the property and screened from public right-of-way view. Proposed trailer parking is 219 spaces. The
concept site design also includes preserved wetlands, stormwater treatment ponds and open
space/buffer areas. Access to the site is from Willow Drive to the West with a center drive.
Existing, surrounding property zoning includes “Urban Reserve” zoned property to North (City of
Corcoran), “Rural Business Holdings (RBH)” and “Business (B)” to the West, “Commercial Highway (CH)”
to the South, and Rural Residential-Urban Reserve (RR-UR)” to the East.
Summary of Request
Existing and Proposed Zoning and Future Land Use Maps are included as Exhibits C-F.
Table 1: Summary of Requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning
Existing FLU Classification Future Development Area (FDA)
Proposed FLU Classification Business (B)
Existing Zoning Classification Rural Residential-Urban Reserve (RR-UR)
Proposed Zoning Classification Industrial Park (IP)
Currently the property is designated as “Future Development Area (FDA)”. From Chapter 5 – Land Use &
Growth of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan:
Future Development Area (FDA) identifies areas which could potentially be planned for future
urban development in the City that will be provided municipal sewer and water services. This area
will remain rural unless and until designated for urban services in a future Comprehensive Plan
update. The purpose of the FDA designation is to communicate the future planning intentions to
the community. This designation is tentative and depends greatly on future infrastructure
improvements, including to regional highway capacity.
The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map would designate the subject
property as “Business (B)”. From Chapter 5 – Land Use & Growth of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan:
Business (B) provides opportunities for corporate campus uses including office, warehouse, and
light industrial. This designation identifies larger tracts of land that are suitable for office and
business park developments and are served or will be served by urban services.
Consistency with Future Land Use Plan
The request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is consistent with “Chapter 5 – Land Use of Growth”
of the Medina 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the proposed project achieves several of the
Future Land Use Plan Principles, outlined below within each of the four Plan Principles. The proposed
development is also consistent with “Business Uses” objectives as described in Chapter 5 of the
Comprehensive Plan.
· FLU Plan Principle: Encourage open spaces, parks, and trails in all neighborhood developments.
Surveys indicate that a high quality of life is found when residents have visual access to green
spaces
· FLU Plan Principle: Preserve open spaces and natural resources.
· Business Uses Objective #1: Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands, and
other significant natural characteristics of the property.
The proposed development, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan, was designed to preserve as many of
the on-site, and connecting off-site, wetland areas as possible. Wetland preservation and stormwater
treatment areas are proposed where there are existing wetlands in the northwest and south portions of
the property. Where the north/northwest wetlands system is more complex. Historically, this property was
used for agriculture and all the wetlands were impacted by runoff from this use. The proposed stormwater
treatment in this area should provide improvements to stormwater quality in this system. On the east side
of the property, the wetlands are better quality, and these are being preserved in their more natural state.
Additionally, the 100’ setback on the east side of the property will remain as open space, serving the dual
purposes of providing a buffer between the buildings and the adjacent residential properties as well as
preserving existing wetlands.
· FLU Plan Principle: Maintain the integrity of rural neighborhoods and promote development
patterns consistent with existing rural residential development.
· Business Uses Objective #4: Regulate the impact of development along the border between
business and residentially guided areas to ensure that business uses have a minimal impact on
residential areas.
· Business Uses Objective #12: Regulate noise, illumination, and odors as needed to maintain
public health and safety.
The proposed site design shown in the Concept Site Plan was developed with the surrounding rural
neighborhood in mind. The orientation of the three, smaller warehouse buildings allows the loading docks
for each of the building to face inward on the site. This will contain the noise and activity of these docking
areas use to the center of the property. The less impactful features such as vehicle parking lots and open
space (including some berms on the east side) are located at the periphery of the site.
· FLU Plan Principle: Recognize neighborhood characteristics and promote new development
compatible in scale, architectural quality, and style with existing neighborhoods.
· Business Uses Objective #6: Encourage construction that enhances the visual appeal of TH 55
corridor and the rural vistas and open spaces of the City.
The proposed, smaller-scale warehouse buildings are consistent with light industrial businesses that
currently exist along the Highway 55 corridor, both east and west of the subject property. The “2016
Existing Land Uses” Map 5-2 of the Comprehensive Plan show “Industrial and Utility” land uses directly
west and south of the subject site. Additionally, three smaller warehouse buildings, two of which are
located directly behind the building that faces Highway 55, is more visually appealing than one large,
mega-warehouse.
· FLU Plan Principle: Guide density to areas with proximity to existing infrastructure and future
infrastructure availability.
Existing utilities that serve the subject property support the proposed industrial development. Adequate
water and electricity serve the site from Willow Drive. There is also adequate sewer service to the site and
a future lift station is planned along Willow Drive for depth and future service. Stormwater runoff that
currently drains into an existing public drainage ditch on the site will instead be diverted to a proposed
stormwater treatment area. Access to the site will be from Willow Drive, Cates Ranch Road and
Chippewa Road. Which all will use Willow Drive to access Highway 55. Truck and care entrances will be
separated on each of the building sites to prevent a mixture of different traffic types on each property.
· FLU Plan Principle: Recognize regional highway capacity and planned improvements, along with
use forecasts, as major factors in planning for growth and land use changes
· Business Uses Objective #9: Use the site plan review process to ensure that commercial and
industrial uses are compatible with neighboring future and existing uses, and with the adjoining
public streets and highways.
· Per the ALTA Survey, by EFN dated September 30, 2021, the subject property has direct access
to Willow Drive, a public right of way. We acknowledge that there may be traffic flow concerns
due to Highway 55 converging from four lanes to two lanes just east of the subject property. To
minimize the impact to traffic on this corridor, the site is intended for use by a few smaller semi-
truck trailers than a single, large warehouse would typically require. Three smaller warehouses
will also generate far fewer truck trips each day than one larger warehouse would generate. A
traffic impact study is being conducted by Kimley-Horn will be discussed upon completion. FLU
Plan Principle: Work to create job opportunities in the community for Medina residents to reduce
traffic and commuting demands.
· Business Uses Objective #2: Encourage businesses that benefit the local community by providing
employment opportunities utilizing high quality design and having limited impact on public
services.
The uses anticipated for these three buildings include warehouse, light industrial, and trades. It is
possible the buildings could be utilized as flex space, although the primary use is anticipated to be
warehouse uses. This flexibility of uses allows for a range of employment opportunities to suit individual
business and employer needs, Full employment numbers will be determined with each specific user when
the project is built out
· FLU Plan Principle: Support business development with a corporate campus style which
provides open spaces and protects natural resources.
· Business Uses Objective # 7: Create or update standards that promote a more rural appearance
or create campus style developments that protect ecologically significant areas and natural
features.
The proposed site layout is consistent with the City’s desire for buildings in proximity with centralized
activity. This configuration does allow for significant open space preservation and continued functionality
of natural wetland systems on- and off-site.
