CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Police Department Animal Impound Agreements – Chief Nelson found a Kennel in Minnetrista that will be able to assist with stray dogs on a short-term basis. They have agreed to keep one of their kennels open with a retainer cost of $400/month for all area agencies. City Attorney Batty has looked at the contract and made changes to what was proposed, and Oak Ridge Kennels has agreed to the changes. Attached is the contract for Oak Ridge Kennels. After splitting the costs amongst the other agencies, it will cost us $1,200 per year. If the dog is not picked up after several days, the solution for long term care is taking the dog to Monticello who has agreed to house our dogs and will attempt to adopt them out. Staff recommends approval. See attached memo and agreements. B. Approve Purchase Agreement for 2120 Chippewa Road – Staff has concluded negotiations with the Scherber Family on the sale of their 17.62-acre property per City Council direction. The sale price is $897,000. The property may be used for park and other needs for the City of Medina as determined in the future. Staff recommends approval. See attached agreement. C. Approve Resolution Accepting Park Bench Donation from Duane and Jan Hendrickson – Staff received a $1,500 donation from Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickson for a park bench in Hamel Legion Park. Staff recommends approval. See attached memo. D. Approve Brush Grinding Agreement with Minnesota Topsoil – Public Works Director Steve Scherer received two quotes for brush grinding services to be performed at City Hall. He is recommending the low quote for the service. Staff recommends approval. 2 See attached memo and agreement. E. Approve Hunter Park Court Surface Color – Public Works Director Steve Scherer received quotes for improvements at Hunter Lions Park. It is the recommendation of Staff to extend a contract to the lowest bid contractor C & H Sport Surfaces. See attached agreement. F. Approve Hunter Park Fence Installation Agreement – Public Works Director Steve Scherer received quotes for improvements at Hunter Lions Park. It is the recommendation of Staff to extend a contract to the lowest bid contractor D’Fence. See attached agreement. G. Approve Hunter Park Asphalt Agreement – Public Works Director Steve Scherer received quotes for improvements at Hunter Lions Park. It is the recommendation of Staff to extend a contract to the lowest bid contractor DMJ Asphalt. See attached agreement. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. 744 Aster Road Proposed Easement Vacation – Public Hearing – Applicant has requested to vacate the southern two feet of a 20-foot wide drainage and utility easement running through the rear yard of 744 Aster Road within the Reserve of Medina neighborhood. The home was constructed close to the easement and the applicant has proposed that the city vacate two feet of the easement to allow for construction of a more usable deck. The existing easement would allow for an eight-foot wide deck, but the applicant was hoping for a wider deck. The proposed vacation would allow for a ten-foot wide deck. Potential Action: Move to adopt the resolution vacating a portion of the drainage and utility easements within 744 Aster Road VII. OLD BUSINESS A. Ordinance Amendment – Rooftop Elements – The majority of the council members at the January 18th City Council Meeting agreed that further regulating height using additional methods likely would not be necessary. The majority of the council members also agreed the framework presented by staff and recommended by the Planning Commission would be suitable. The attached ordinance is intended to be consistent with the direction of City Council and recommendation of the Planning Commission. Since the ordinance was last discussed by the City Council, the city attorney has considered questions and comments made by members of the public and has no concern about the city’s authority to regulate rooftop elements in the manner provided for in the proposed ordinance. Based on discussion at the January 18th meeting, staff thought additional visual examples of the height limitations of architectural elements might be helpful. Staff will review this information with the City Council at the February 15th Council Meeting. 3 Potential Motions: 1. Move to adopt the ordinance implementing regulations pertaining to height of rooftop elements [with following changes directed by Council, if any].  2. Move to adopt the resolution authorizing publication by title and summary.  XI. APPROVAL TO PAY BILLS Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the bills, EFT 006251E-006257E for $46,969.66 and order check numbers 052599-052620 for $114,213.39, and payroll EFT 0511614-0511648 for $57,767.00.

Park Commission 31 Scherer reported that the Park Commission met on January 19th and appointed officers 32 for the year and introduced the newest member of the Commission. He noted that one 33 application has been received for the remaining vacant position. He stated that the 34 Commission discussed three potential developments in terms of park dedication. 35 36 C. Planning Commission 37 Finke reported that the Planning Commission will meet the following week to hold a 38 public hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct an 39 accessory structure at 3003 Hamel Road. 40 41 VII. NEW BUSINESS 42 43 A. Ordinance Amending Chapter 3 of the City Code of Ordinance Pertaining to 44 Third Party Gift Card Procurement (7:09 p.m.) 45 Johnson stated that the Police Department has experienced an increase in fraudulent 46 third-party gift card procurement at establishments in Medina. He stated that law 47 enforcement agencies spend a lot of time investigating these cases, which places a 48 strain on limited resources within the department. Nelson is recommending the 49 proposed ordinance to address this issue. 50 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 3 Nelson stated that additional background information was included in the memorandum 1 within the Council packet. He stated that they are attempting to stop the fraudulent third-2 party gift card procurement. He stated that these fraud cases involve multiple victims 3 and a lot of staff resources. He stated that they used the Shakopee ordinance as a 4 model, which was the first ordinance of this nature and was recognized nationally. He 5 noted that since the implementation phase, Shakopee has seen a nearly 100 percent 6 reduction in third party gift card procurement fraud cases. He stated that there were 7 some concerns expressed from the Minnesota Retailers Association and reviewed those 8 comments. He explained that as proposed in the ordinance, identification would be 9 required to be shown in order to purchase a third-party gift card. He noted that a third-10 party gift card also could not be purchased at a self-checkout. He stated that he has 11 spoken with neighboring communities to advise them of the potential action of the 12 Council tonight. 13 14 Martin commented that the Council previously discussed this matter and there was 15 additional study of other communities. She stated that information was distributed from 16 the Minnesota Retailers Association (MRA) and invited that representative to speak. 17 18 Bruce Nustad, MRA, appreciated the opportunity to address the Council and also 19 appreciated the opportunity to discuss his concerns with Nelson and Albers. He 20 understands the desire of the community to reduce fraud cases. He stated that they are 21 concerned with the unintended impact to consumers. He commented that this ordinance 22 could impact the consumer and retailer rather than the criminal. He stated that the 23 possibility that a store clerk could be punished with a misdemeanor would have an 24 impact on retailers. He noted that some stores in Shakopee have pulled the third-party 25 gift cards to avoid a situation in which a young clerk could be punished. He noted that 26 there is also a conflict in asking for identification when selling a Visa or Mastercard gift 27 card as the retailer is not allowed to require identification for purchase, therefore the 28 cards will need to be pulled from the store. He stated that there concern with the 29 definition of identification did not include all valid forms including tribal identification. He 30 asked that the City take a pause and determine if they could collaboratively work with 31 retailers. 32 33 DesLauriers asked if Nelson has spoken with Target and whether the clause with Visa 34 and Mastercard could create a conflict. 35 36 Nelson replied that he did speak with representatives from Target and did not find out 37 about the conflict until he reached the corporate level. He stated that their solution 38 would be to pull those gift cards from the store rather than comply with the ordinance. 39 40 DesLauriers asked if there was ever a cashier working in conjunction with a thief in the 41 cases they have investigated. 42 43 Nelson replied that Shakopee had two incidents where there were reports of violation of 44 the ordinance and in one of those cases there was potential involvement from cashier. 45 He commented that they have not seen that type of involvement in Medina. 46 47 DesLauriers commented that he believes that the residents of Medina would appreciate 48 this ordinance as it will help to keep criminals out of Medina. 49 50 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 4 Albers commented that he spoke with Nustad to listen to his concerns. He stated that 1 he comes from a payments background, and this is a problem that all the card issuer 2 networks have to deal with. He stated that if the problem only exists with the high value 3 third party gift cards and does not impact the lower value gift cards for restaurants and 4 other venues, he believes the Council could be confident in reducing the fraud risk to 5 those that have had their cards stolen. 6 7 Martin agreed with DesLauriers and Albers and appreciated the input of Nustad and his 8 association. She also commended Nelson for all the work he has put into fraud 9 investigation, and this proposed means to address it. 10 11 Moved by Albers, seconded by Reid, to Adopt an Ordinance Amending Chapter 3 of the 12 City Code of Ordinance Pertaining to Third Party Gift Card Procurement. 13 14 A roll call vote was performed: 15 16 DesLauriers aye 17 Albers aye 18 Reid aye 19 Martin aye 20 21 Motion passed unanimously. 22 23 1. Resolution Authorizing Publication of Ordinance by Title and 24 Summary 25 Moved by Albers, seconded by Martin, to Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Publication 26 by Title and Summary. 27 28 A roll call vote was performed: 29 30 Reid aye 31 Albers aye 32 DesLauriers aye 33 Martin aye 34 35 Motion passed unanimously. 36 37 B. Loram and Scannell Medina Industrial – Environmental Assessment 38 Worksheet (EAW) – Proposed Commercial/Industrial Development (7:26 39 p.m.) 40 Johnson stated that Scannell and Loram submitted an EAW for potential development of 41 450,000 square feet of warehouse, office, light industrial development which would be 42 located on approximately 25 acres. He stated that for a community of Medina’s size, 43 any development of this type over 300,000 square feet requires an EAW. 44 45 Finke stated that the formal applications for development have not yet been submitted. 46 He stated that the subject site is guided for business development. He stated that the 47 purpose of the EAW is to inform the subsequent planning process and determine if 48 further environmental study is needed in the form of an EIS. He stated that some 49 conceptual renderings of one of the buildings was received today, again noting that the 50 development is not being reviewed at this time. He stated that if the Council authorizes 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 5 publication, a 30-day comment period would begin, and the document would be routed 1 to the proper agencies for review. He stated that after that comment period expires, staff 2 would bring the comments back to the Council for review to determine if additional study 3 would be necessary. He commented that staff did have discussions with the applicant 4 about the potential site layout in order to avoid wetland impacts. 5 6 Martin thanked Finke for the comments that would be added. She asked if there is intent 7 to provide an attachment E, as she did not find that element. 8 9 Finke commented that staff excluded some of the attachments for brevity in the Council 10 report but noted that would be submitted as a part of the document. 11 12 Martin commented that the document appears to be in good order. 13 14 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Reid, to Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Release 15 of the Loram/Scannell Medina Industrial EAW for Distribution and Public Comment. 16 17 A roll call vote was performed: 18 19 Albers aye 20 Reid aye 21 DesLauriers aye 22 Martin aye 23 24 Motion passed unanimously. 25 26 C. Medina Ventures – Medina Park and Boardwalk – PUD Concept Plan 1472 27 Highway 55 (7:33 p.m.) 28 Johnson stated that Medina Ventures is requesting PUD concept plan review for a 29 development that would contain commercial uses along with a three-unit townhome 30 located at 1472 Highway 55. He stated that the purpose of the concept discussion is to 31 provide feedback to the applicant prior to formal application. 32 33 Finke reviewed the surrounding land uses of the subject site, noting that Meander Road 34 bisects the site with one segment guided for commercial development and the other for 35 residential. He stated that the concept plan proposes uses consistent with the 36 Comprehensive Plan guiding. He noted that conceptual renderings were provided in the 37 packet. 38 39 Martin asked for additional information on the setback and drive aisle notations. 40 41 Finke replied that the setback of the drive aisle of the parking lot on the eastern property 42 line would not meet the commercial highway zoning requirements, but otherwise the 43 dimensional layout of the development is consistent. He stated that for the residential 44 portion of the property, the distance that is being discussed there is the distance from 45 the closest garage to the drive aisle which is shown as 20 feet and generally the setback 46 would be 25 feet. He provided additional details on the residential development, noting 47 that the proposed density would fall on the low end of low density residential. 48 49 Martin noted that the hardcover proposed is significantly less than what might be 50 expected for both the commercial and residential developments. 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 6 1 Finke confirmed that there are large areas of greenspace. He noted that recreation 2 space is needed for the daycare use. He stated that much of the greenspace to the 3 west is internal to the wetland. He stated that by attaching the residential units, it also 4 provides more greenspace. 5 6 Martin commented that the clustering of commercial buildings also lends itself to more 7 greenspace. She stated that this is a key corner, and this proposed site plan seems to 8 be accommodating of the request to keep Highway 55 pretty with nice vistas. 9 10 Reid commented that this is an interesting project, and she did not see any problems 11 with it. She noted that this would also provide architecture that does not exist in other 12 parts of Medina. 13 14 Albers asked if the renderings are accurate of what the final development would be. 15 16 Finke commented that the renderings are conceptual in nature. 17 18 Albers stated that there are unique buildings within and if that would be the final product, 19 it would be very unique for Medina and would be very inviting. He believed this would be 20 a nice product if it followed those examples. 21 22 Finke commented that architectural design was a primary purpose of the PUD to have 23 flexibility from the standard commercial highway district which typically assumes 24 concrete as the main construction material. He noted that the applicant would propose 25 to use wood and metal as primary construction materials. He stated that lot lines have 26 not yet been shown, but various buildings would potentially need flexibility to 27 dimensional standards in order to have their own parcel as a part of the overall 28 development. He stated that the boardwalk and exterior spaces were called out as well 29 as the applicant would like to maximize the outdoor space. He stated that the flexibility 30 for the residential parcel would be to have attached units within low density residential. 31 32 Albers asked for clarification on the statement that the applicant would plat buildings on 33 different lots to allow flexibility for sale to separate owners. He asked if the applicant 34 would build the buildings or gain approval for the development and have individual 35 owners build the buildings themselves. 36 37 Chris Peterson, owner of Medina Ventures, stated that he is doing his best to find great 38 businesses to come into the development and is asking the business what they prefer. 39 He stated that he would love to see the businesses come in as owners, if desired. He 40 stated that some of the potential businesses have expressed more interest in owning the 41 buildings but noted that would come down to the negotiations. He stated that he would 42 love to see most of the owners own their property with an overall HOA to manage the 43 property, lawn, and snow maintenance. He stated that the buildings on the south side 44 could be pushed together, and the three-story venue could be pushed down a bit. He 45 stated the intent is to have this be a beautiful development and would exceed the 46 standards of what would typically be asked for. 47 48 Finke commented that a PUD provides the City with better ability to add requirements 49 upon the approval for unified design. He stated that typical subdivision and site plan 50 review would allow any site development without any tie to the other buildings. 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 7 1 Peterson commented that they would like the buildings to look similar and would plan to 2 use a general contractor that would assist in that process. 3 4 Albers noted that was his main concern. He stated that if this proceeds, he would want 5 the architectural design memorialized in the approval to ensure consistency in design. 6 7 Martin stated that there is a related recommendation within the staff report. She asked if 8 there should also be a condition related to the outdoor maintenance responsibility to an 9 HOA. 10 11 Albers commented that he believed that condition applied to the residential portion of the 12 property and would like that to apply to the commercial development as well. 13 14 DesLauriers asked if that clause for the commercial development should be tied to the 15 CH district standards. 16 17 Martin commented that the intent is to have flexibility from the CH district standards and 18 it would not be determined until the formal application is submitted. 19 20 Finke commented that he would not want to reference the minimum standards of a 21 district as the intent of the applicant is to seek flexibility from those standards in order to 22 provide the noted type of architecture. He noted that the condition does not need to be 23 drafted tonight. 24 25 DesLauriers stated that overall, the vision of Peterson to put something unique along 26 Highway 55 is great foresight on his part and hopes to see this project go through. 27 28 Martin echoed the comments thus far and looks forward to more detail as this moves 29 forward. She asked for input on the different architectural examples provided. 30 31 Reid stated that she would not prefer the standalone modern design. 32 33 DesLauriers stated that he believes the conservatory would be a good addition. 34 35 Albers commented that he prefers the outdoorsy lodge type look, or even the barnwood 36 look might fit with the rural character of Medina. 37 38 Finke provided input on transportation and connectivity. He stated that the Council 39 previously completed a visioning study for Tamarack Drive and is planning for a 40 signalized intersection at Highway 55 and future Tamarack. He stated that study 41 contemplated connections in different places along Tamarack to provide circulation 42 between commercial developments. He noted that study contemplated some 43 connection from Tamarack to Meander in order to provide connectivity for vehicles and 44 link various commercial uses together. He recognized that if the City would like to see a 45 major roadway going through the site, that would have impact on the site and its 46 potential layout. He stated that staff would like to see more of a direct access from 47 Meander to the eastern property line of the subject site that could be a drive aisle 48 through the parking lot. He noted that in that instance staff would not want to see 49 parking stalls along the drive aisle. He commented that if this develops prior to the 50 property to the east, the applicant would have limited options for an access location. He 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 8 stated that staff would suggest concept B, with the access on the west end and then 1 linking to the location shown in black and providing connectivity to the through road. He 2 stated that even internal on the concept plan, it would be beneficial not to have vehicles 3 parked along the entire length of the drive lane. He noted that the drive aisle could split 4 into different parking pockets. 5 6 DesLauriers stated that the more they push people on Tamarack, the better. He stated 7 that perhaps the suggestion from staff to push it to the bottom would be a good solution. 8 He stated that parallel parking versus vertical would place a burden on the developer in 9 terms of space. He stated that if the sites were developing together, A would make 10 sense but noted that they cannot landlock Peterson from development and therefore 11 without knowing when Cavanaugh would develop, a road would not make sense. He 12 stated that it would seem neither A or B would make sense without having a 13 development commitment from Cavanaugh. 14 15 Reid stated that she is having trouble visualizing and therefore will reserve comment. 16 17 Albers agreed with DesLauriers on the timing of the developments. He stated that 18 concept B would work much better for the proposal in front of the Council with the flow of 19 traffic. He stated that concept B would also take away land that would be developable 20 by Cavanaugh. He stated that it is unfortunate that this entire area is not being planned 21 for development at the same time. He believed that concept B would fit the needs of 22 Peterson better. 23 24 Peterson stated that he appreciates the effort and funds that the City have spent on the 25 Tamarack Drive study. He stated that concepts A and B do not benefit his development. 26 He stated that he would not support concept A as that would remove 1.5 acres of the 27 property and run through the best portion of the property which is the boardwalk. He 28 stated that in terms of concept B, there is a hill near the eastern edge of the property. 29 He stated that the best access is on the western most point of the development from 30 Meander. He stated that he has heard five to ten years for when the other development 31 may occur. He stated that it would not be beneficial for his development to have cut 32 through traffic moving through. He stated that they will already lose parking in order to 33 improve those plans and would not want to lose additional parking in order to provide a 34 connection to the east. He noted that people coming to his development would come 35 from Arrowhead to Meander. He noted that of the 18 acres, they are only developing on 36 six and would find it hard to give up land to provide a needless connection. He stated 37 that he does not want to spend time and money to accommodate something that has not 38 yet been planned and will provide no benefit to his property. 39 40 Martin commented that the desired landscaping aisles would take away from the 41 proposed parking. She stated that the report mentioned that with the differing uses, 42 there may not be a need for the parking specified under the traditional count. She stated 43 that perhaps there could be a proof of parking requirement to accommodate additional 44 parking if that is shown to be a need. 45 46 Finke agreed that could be a good idea. He stated that the concept of shared parking is 47 great and the proof of parking would allow flexibility in missed calculations or changed 48 uses. 49 50 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 9 DesLauriers stated that the packet notes percentages of contribution towards the costs 1 for Tamarack Drive improvements. He asked what those estimations would be. 2 3 Finke stated that he does not have that information available right now but could attempt 4 to develop those estimates. 5 6 Albers asked if that would be dependent upon whether the development actually 7 connects to Tamarack. He noted that the developer does not want to connect to 8 Tamarack. 9 10 Finke stated that staff believes that concepts A and B both connect to Tamarack and 11 staff would look for connectivity through the site, even if it does not go through the site. 12 He stated that the site would be benefitted and serviced by the Tamarack and Highway 13 55 intersection. He stated that because of the proximity to Fields of Medina Park, staff is 14 not recommending park land. He reviewed the recommendations related to trails for the 15 property. He also highlighted the potential Diamond Lake Regional Trail (DLRT) route in 16 this area, noting that perhaps that trail could wander through this development. 17 18 Reid agreed that the trail segment along the northside of Meander could make sense. 19 20 Albers agreed. He stated that he is still digesting the thought of running the DLRT along 21 the west side of Fields of Medina. 22 23 DesLauriers and Martin agreed with the trail segments as proposed. 24 25 Martin stated that she looks forward to seeing a unique design with architectural 26 standards that reflect that design. She stated that the Council would also like to see a 27 property owners association that would manage the overall property, use restrictions, 28 and outdoor features maintenance. 29 30 DesLauriers referenced the boardwalk and stated that he would like details on that 31 boardwalk when the formal application is submitted. 32 33 Peterson stated that when he comes back with the general plan, he will be requesting a 34 fourth villa on the north side which would be of the same nature as the others. He stated 35 that a major piece of the development is the boardwalk which will cost a fair amount of 36 money. He recognized the buffer requirements and stated that he does not intend to 37 disturb the wetlands but would like to run adjacent to the wetlands. He referenced the 38 northside property going west and wanted to make sure that they would not be 39 responsible to connect a trail to Arrowhead and would want the trail obligation to end at 40 the property boundary. He referenced the 60-foot strip to the east of the property, on the 41 south side, which will be a dead strip if he does not purchase it. He stated that he has 42 expressed interest to the property owner, but that is something to consider as this moves 43 forward. He stated that there is a likelihood that the northern property, north of Fields of 44 Medina, will be sold at some point and there would be opportunity to connect as a 45 private drive. He stated that perhaps that access road does not need to be as robust as 46 the private road would most likely be converted to a public road in the future. He 47 stressed the importance of the boardwalk and asked who he would need to talk to in 48 order to place that boardwalk as close to the wetland as possible. 49 50 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 10 D. BPS Properties, LLC – 4250-4292 Arrowhead Drive – Marsh Pointe Preserve 1 – Preliminary Plat/PUD General Plan (8:48 p.m.) 2 Johnson stated that the applicant is requesting a preliminary plat and PUD general plan 3 for a 30 unit detached development on Arrowhead Drive. 4 5 Finke stated that the Council reviewed this concept in December, and it has come back 6 for formal consideration. He reviewed the subject site and proposed site plan. He 7 reviewed the comments provided by the Council at its last review and the updates that 8 have been made to the plan since the last review. He stated that the general layout 9 remains the same. He stated that the developer met with the abutting property owners 10 in Bridgewater which led to an increase in trees along the northern line and throughout 11 the landscaping plan. He stated that specific information was also provided relating to 12 the architectural standards for the units within the development. He stated that the PUD 13 is designed to allow flexibility from the underlying zoning standards in return for a more 14 desirable development. He stated that the R-1 zoning district would be the default for 15 low density residential development. He stated that the architectural requirements are 16 summarized in the staff report, noting the applicant proposes a higher standard than 17 generally required in the R-1 district and summarized those elements. He stated that the 18 applicant had stated that there would be a benefit to having single level villas compared 19 to two story homes, and therefore a maximum elevation could be specified. He stated 20 that some of the concepts submitted since that time show rooflines that are fairly tall and 21 further limitations could be placed on some of those buildings that may have more visual 22 impact. 23 24 Martin referenced the recommendations from the Planning Commission, specifically six, 25 and asked if this would be the list of Council requirements that would be referenced. 26 27 Finke confirmed that the requirements would be found within that condition. He noted 28 that the bulleted list is meant to serve as architectural requirements. 29 30 Martin referenced the building height and asked what 35 feet would look like. She stated 31 that when she thinks of Charles Cudd and villas it makes her think of the golf course 32 villas and The Enclave, asking for heights of those homes. 33 34 Finke replied that the villas along the west end of the golf course are not similar as they 35 have sideloaded garages. He stated that the units on the northwest corner of the golf 36 course are similar to what is being proposed and would have similar elevation. He 37 stated that he also compared to the Pulte homes being constructed which are two story 38 homes and have a similar height of 35 feet. He stated that the intent would be to have 39 usable space that would be within the roofline. 40 41 Martin commented that would seem to be more than one story. She referenced the 42 graph on page three of the report and expressed concern with the proposed hardcover 43 of 55 percent which exceeds the R-2 requirement of no more than 50 percent and R-1 44 requirement of no more than 40 percent. 45 46 Reid commented that considering the topography and wetlands, this seems to be a good 47 use of the property. 48 49 DesLauriers stated that he agrees with Martin on the issue of hardcover and would like 50 to see that closer to 40 percent. He believed there was a discussion related to the three 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 11 homes closest to Bridgewater and an attempt to flatten that road out but noted that there 1 appear to be no changes. He stated that he would like to limit the height, as there were 2 two story developments approved last year that were 36 feet. He stated that he would 3 like to see the height of the homes adjacent to Bridgewater limited and could support 4 taller homes on the eastern end where there would be no impact. He stated that he 5 believes that a tree is a tree and does not support the concept that planted trees should 6 not count in the tree preservation ordinance. 7 8 Martin asked why it would be appropriate to consider approving 55 percent hardcover 9 ratio. 10 11 Finke replied that the hardcover is important to recognize as that is the percentage 12 within the bounds of any individual lot and not across the development. He stated that 13 these lots could be platted differently to lower the hardcover percentage without actually 14 lowering the hardcover. He stated that all the wetland buffers are outside of the bounds 15 of the lots, which is encouraged by staff but is not a requirement. He stated that is 16 significant because the average buffer is 50 feet in width, therefore if the buffer were 17 included in the lots, they would meet the hardcover. He stated that this results in more 18 common greenspace than lot space. 19 20 Martin commented that does make sense. 21 22 Finke stated that enforcement of wetland buffers is much easier when the buffer lies 23 outside of property lines. 24 25 DesLauriers stated that his concern is appeased. 26 27 Martin asked what happened to the tot lot concept. 28 29 Finke replied that it was the impression of staff that the majority of the feedback on the 30 concept is that there was not much benefit in the tot lot and therefore that was removed. 31 32 Martin asked for input on the architectural requirements list proposed. 33 34 Reid stated that she does not understand the enormous roofs on these units if these are 35 one story homes. 36 37 Rick Denman, Charles Cudd, stated that they are aligned with the Council on the 38 architectural integrity being sought. He stated that they have built many homes in 39 Medina and the overall Twin Cities area. He stated that they are attempting to create 40 architectural integrity but noted that he would not mind reducing that to some degree. 41 He stated that on a one dimension drawing it looks tall, but they are similar to the homes 42 in Medina Country Club on the north and west. He stated that they sell to a luxury buyer 43 and therefore attempt to maintain an architectural integrity. He did not believe they 44 compare to the Pulte homes, which have a lower pitched roof for lower costs. He 45 commented that they are one story rooms, and any bonus space would not go above the 46 35 feet. 47 48 Martin asked the height of the home shown on the screen. 49 50 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 12 Denman replied that those have a height of 35 feet. He confirmed that the measurement 1 is from the front of the home to the top of the roof. 2 3 Reid asked if that would be usable space under the roofs. 4 5 Denman commented that in some cases they may place a bonus room or bonus space 6 in that area if desired by the homeowner. He stated that in other cases it would not be 7 usable space. 8 9 Albers commented that he is fine with a height of 35 feet. 10 11 DesLauriers stated that he would prefer to protect the views of the Bridgewater residents 12 and would want a lower height for those homes visible from Bridgewater. 13 14 Martin asked the maximum height in R-1 and R-2. 15 16 Finke replied that a similar peak with an addition of another eight to ten feet could be 17 allowed for a two-story building. He stated that because the height is averaged, the roof 18 may need to be slightly less pitched on a two-story home which would be 42 or 43 feet. 19 20 Martin commented that she could perhaps support 35 feet in height. 21 22 Finke stated that the Council could consider the units closer to Bridgewater be more 23 limited in height, recognizing there could be unintended implications. 24 25 Martin asked the height of the golf course villas on the west side. 26 27 Denman replied that those have a height of 33 to 36 feet. 28 29 DesLauriers stated that those homes face the golf course and do not have homes 30 behind them. He stated that he is not asking the entire development to be further limited 31 in height, but specifically would like those three homes closest to Bridgewater further 32 limited. 33 34 Martin noted a fourth home in the northwest corner. She stated that perhaps those four 35 lots should have a reduced height. 36 37 DesLauriers agreed, noting that he would be fine with the 35-foot height for the other 38 homes. 39 40 Denman stated that he thinks they could do that and suggested a maximum of 32 feet in 41 height for those four homes. He stated that the Bridgewater homes are quite a bit higher 42 than these homes would be. 43 44 Finke commented that he believes that those units are lookouts which would have less 45 rear exposure. 46 47 Denman confirmed that those are lookouts or walkouts in the Bridgewater development. 48 49 Rick Osberg, representing the applicant, commented that the lots adjacent to them are 50 lookouts. 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 13 1 George Stickney, applicant, stated that he has met with all the existing residents and has 2 developed agreements with those eight homeowners. He stated that for the one home 3 with a direct sightline, he has agreed to limit to a height of 32 feet. He stated that he has 4 eliminated the tot lot as that was not desired by the existing residents and used those 5 funds to create screening projects for all eight property owners in Bridgewater. He 6 stated that he will work with each homeowner to remove invasive species and replant 7 native trees where needed. He noted that 40 or 50 trees will be planted on adjacent 8 properties to increase their screening, which he does not get credit for on his property. 9 10 Martin applauded the applicant for having the discussions with the Bridgewater residents 11 and asked if the landscaping plan reflects those agreements. 12 13 Stickney replied that is not reflected in the landscaping plans because those will lie on 14 the adjacent private properties. 15 16 Martin asked how that would be memorialized. 17 18 Batty replied that the City could have a landscaping plan and if that includes plantings on 19 adjacent properties, but authorization would need to be submitted approving those 20 placements. He stated that he does not want the City to be a party to agreements with 21 individual property owners in Bridgewater but would welcome the developer having a 22 plan showing the plantings that could be approved as part of the landscaping plan. 23 24 Denman confirmed he would be amenable to limiting the height of the four homes 25 directly adjacent to Bridgewater to 32 feet. 26 27 Reid commented that this is a good plan. 28 29 DesLauriers agreed that this is a good plan. 30 31 Albers also agreed. 32 33 Martin provided updated language for condition six which would provide a maximum 34 height of 35 feet with the exception of the four homes that would have a maximum height 35 of 32 feet. She stated that the landscaping plan would also be updated to include the 36 plantings for the Bridgewater properties with the applicant providing proof that the 37 Bridgewater residents have approved those placements. 38 39 Stickney commented that he volunteered to work with the Bridgewater residents to 40 provide additional plantings. He noted that they cannot make a final determination at 41 this time on which trees will stay and which will be removed. He stated that the needs 42 and desires of each property owner are different. He stated that he can provide copies 43 of the contracts he has drafted. He stated that those agreements are between the two 44 property owners. He stated that he will be improving his property dramatically and the 45 agreements he has with the adjacent property owners are between the two parties. 46 47 Martin commented that citizens on adjacent properties have come back to the City in the 48 past asking why the commitment of the developer was not enforced. She stated that the 49 City needs some assurance that whatever agreements have been reached will be 50 honored. She stated that she will leave it to Batty as to how to document those 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 14 agreements. She referenced the strip of City owned property noting that one option 1 would be to deed that property to the developer so that it could be platted with the 2 wetland area. 3 4 Batty commented that the Council has great discretion as to what to do. He stated that 5 the City does not have to go out to bid or through a formal process. 6 7 Finke stated that staff wanted to call attention to that and would ultimately report back at 8 final plat with recommendations as to how to do that. He noted that some options were 9 outlined in the report. 10 11 Martin commented that it would seem to be a good title cleanup exercise. She 12 referenced the trail recommendations, easements, and parking stall construction which 13 seem reasonable. 14 15 Finke asked if the Council would want to require the trail connection for the Diamond 16 Lake Regional Trail (DLRT) as part of this development, or if the City should only secure 17 the easement and allow Three Rivers Park District to construct that in the future. 18 19 Martin asked how different users of the trail would realize which path they should follow. 20 21 Finke commented that there is a sidewalk proposed along the roadway that would 22 connect to the trail and provide connectivity from the homes to the trail. He confirmed 23 that the intention would be for the general public to follow the trail. He agreed that 24 perhaps signage could be of assistance. 25 26 DesLauriers asked if there would be an easement at the end of the trail to continue the 27 DLRT. 28 29 Finke commented that the intent would be for the easement to continue across the 30 wetland and provided details on the desired flexibility of the easement. 31 32 Osberg commented that the depiction of the trail represents the actual trail alignment 33 and not necessarily the easement that would encompass it. He stated that they read 34 into previous comments about the desired route of the DLRT, but as discussion has 35 gone on it seems that it is not certain whether the trail should cross easterly or southerly. 36 He stated that originally, they proposed a gravel base as they were unsure of the desired 37 route. He noted that they would be happy to provide easements for either route but 38 would not want to construct something that may not ultimately be desired. He stated 39 that it does not seem wise to place a trail in the wetland buffer area when the alignment 40 of the trail is not yet known. 41 42 Reid stated that the DLRT is pretty far into the future and therefore an easement would 43 seem to be the better choice. 44 45 Albers agreed with an easement. 46 47 Batty commented that there can be a similar concept to a blanket easement and when 48 the true alignment is known that easement could be confined to the actual location, but 49 in the time being it would cover a broader area. 50 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 15 DesLauriers agreed that the easements would be good to have but the trail construction 1 is not needed at this time. 2 3 Martin reviewed the augmentations to the recommended conditions as discussed. 4 5 Moved by Albers, seconded by DesLauriers, to direct staff to prepare documents to 6 approve the PUD General Plan and Preliminary Plat subject to the conditions described 7 in the staff report and as augmented by the Council discussion. 8 9 A roll call vote was performed: 10 11 DesLauriers aye 12 Albers aye 13 Reid aye 14 Martin aye 15 16 Motion passed unanimously. 17 18 Martin briefly recessed the meeting. 19 20 Martin reconvened the meeting. 21 22 VIII. OLD BUSINESS 23 24 A. Arrowhead Drive Turn Lane Expansion Project – Approve Plans/Specs and 25 Authorize Advertisement for Bids (10:00 p.m.) 26 Johnson stated that the turn lane expansion project was identified under the visioning 27 study completed in 2019. He provided other recommendations included in that study. 28 29 Stremel stated that the improvements were identified in the visioning process in 2019 30 and provided relative background information. He stated that the OSI driveway 31 modification to align with Meander Road was also identified in that study. He noted that 32 the City moved forward with alternate C in that study and walked through the different 33 improvements that would be a part of the proposed project. He noted that the 34 stormwater pond would accommodate the needs for the roadway as well as OSI 35 expansion. He reviewed the estimated project cost and different proposed funding 36 sources. He commented that OSI would complete its driveway realignment using its 37 own contractor. He reviewed the proposed project schedule. He asked the Council to 38 approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids. 39 40 DesLauriers thanked OSI, noting it is a great business partner that is accepting of the 41 realignment and willing to contribute to the project cost. 42 43 Martin echoed those comments. 44 45 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Reid, to Adopt the Resolution Approving 46 Plans/Specifications and Authorizing the Advertisement for Bids. 47 48 A roll call vote was performed: 49 50 DesLauriers aye 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 16 Albers aye 1 Reid aye 2 Martin aye 3 4 Motion passed unanimously. 5 6 IX. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT (10:10 p.m.) 7 Johnson had nothing further to report. 8 9 X. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (10:10 p.m.) 10 Martin reported that she did attend the Fire District meeting this morning with Nelson, 11 Johnson, and DesLauriers. She commented that she is starting to sense interest in the 12 group to think about a broader sharing of resources, although perhaps not on the scale 13 of a fire district. She stated that they are still awaiting the results of the Hamel and 14 Loretto merger discussions. 15 16 Reid stated that they are starting work on banners for Hamel and should have a design 17 in a few weeks. 18 19 Martin thanked Reid for spearheading that topic to create something tangible. 20 21 DesLauriers stated that if there is any assistance needed in installing the banners, he 22 would be happy to assist. He stated that he continues to find benefit in the continued fire 23 district discussions and the benefits that can be provided through equipment sharing. 24 25 Martin agreed that there is a lot of depth of relationships and experience of those 26 involved in the discussions and it is great to learn from that. 27 28 XI. APPROVAL TO PAY THE BILLS (10:15 p.m.) 29 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Albers, to approve the bills, EFT 006238E-30 006250E for $59,429.81, order check numbers 052547-052598 for $255,154.54, and 31 payroll EFT 0511585-0511613 for $59,048.98. 32 33 A roll call vote was performed: 34 35 DesLauriers aye 36 Albers aye 37 Reid aye 38 Martin aye 39 40 Motion passed unanimously. 41 42 XII. ADJOURN 43 Martin commented that there have been instances of COVID at City Hall which supports 44 the continued decision of the Council to meet virtually. She appreciated everyone’s 45 willingness to honor the wickedness of the virus and its various variants. She hoped that 46 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2022 17 everyone remains safe and healthy. She also recognized members of the community 1 that are no longer with them because of the virus. 2 3 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Martin, to adjourn the meeting at 10:19 p.m. 4 5 A roll call vote was performed: 6 7 DesLauriers aye 8 Albers aye 9 Reid aye 10 Martin aye 11 12 Motion passed unanimously. 13 14 15 __________________________________ 16 Kathy Martin, Mayor 17 Attest: 18 19 ____________________________________ 20 Scott Johnson, City Administrator 21 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Nelson, Director of Public Safety DATE: February 10, 2022 RE: Animal Control Contracts I have been working on a long-term animal control solution as one of my goals for 2022. Our current long-term option is getting out of the business, so I have worked with Minnetrista, Orono and West Hennepin Public Safety on a solution. It should be noted that this only pertains to dogs. We have found a Kennel in Minnetrista that will be able to assist us with our dogs on a short-term basis. Oak Ridge Kennels has agreed to keep one of their kennels open for our agencies with a retainer cost of $400/month for all agencies. City Attorney Batty has looked at the contract and made changes to what was proposed, and Oak Ridge Kennels has agreed to the changes. Attached is the contract for Oak Ridge Kennels. After splitting the costs amongst the other agencies, it will cost us $1,200 per year. If the dog is not picked up after several days, the solution for long term care is taking the dog to Monticello who has agreed to house our dogs and will attempt to adopt them out. Monticello Animal Control is also asking our cities to sign an annual contract with them which has also been reviewed by City Attorney Batty and is attached. The cost for utilizing Monticello Animal Control is an annual service fee of $250 plus a $20 per day boarding fee. If the animal needs to be euthanized there is an additional fee of $190. I am requesting the council approve the contracts for animal control. This is something that was not in my budget for this year and will be added for next year. I have spoken with Finance Director Barnhart and we will be able to find money to cover this expense in the 2022 Police Department budget. Agenda Item #5A MN415-1-775114.v2 ANIMAL IMPOUND AGREEMENT THIS ANIMAL IMPOUND AGREEMENT (“the Agreement”) is made this 15th day of February, 2022 by and between the city of Medina, a Minnesota municipal corporation (“City”) and Oak Ridge Pet Boarding and Daycare (“Contractor”).

The home was constructed close to the easement and the applicant has proposed that the City vacate two feet of the easement to allow for construction of a more usable deck. The existing easement would allow for an eight-foot wide deck, but the applicant was hoping for a wider deck. The proposed vacation would allow a ten-foot wide deck. There is a stormwater pipe running west to east within the easement. The pipe is maintained by the Homeowner’s Association and the homes in this block connect their sump pumps to the pipe. The City requested a utility locate and no other utilities were identified in the easement. The easement also does not accommodate drainage from other properties. The Homeowner’s Association management company did not respond to an invitation for comment. The City Engineer and Public Works Director have reviewed the request. The pipe appears to be approximately 7-8 feet deep. They recommend that the deck should be set back a distance equal to the depth to allow for future excavation if necessary. Even though the pipe is privately maintained, the easement serves the purpose of protecting the area of the pipe from construction. The City Engineer and Public Works Director would support vacation of the southern two-feet because they believe it would still be possible to access the pipe if necessary. The attached survey shows the location of the home, the existing easement (in yellow), the area proposed to be vacated (in red) and the location of the existing pipe (in green). The easement was dedicated to the public in the Reserve of Medina plat. To reduce the size of the easement, the formal process for vacating easements needs to be followed as described in statute. This easement continues through yards to the west and east of the site. The City has previously approved a similar vacation request for the property to the west for construction of a deck. MEMORANDUM Agenda Item #7A 744 Aster Road Page 2 of 2 February 15, 2022 Easement Vacation (partial) City Council Meeting Analysis 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.” The purpose of the public drainage and utility easement appears to have been to for the private stormwater pipe underground. The City does have the right, but not obligation, to maintain stormwater improvements if the HOA does not do so. As noted above, the City Engineer and Public Works Director believe 18-feet of easement is sufficient for maintenance and do not oppose the vacation. As proposed, staff believes it is reasonable to conclude that it is in the interest of the public to vacate the requested portion of the easement, because adequate width will remain for its intended purpose. Potential Action Notice was published and mailed for a public hearing on the vacation at the February 15 Council meeting. Staff received no contact from the notice. Following the hearing, if the Council finds it in the public interest to vacate the easement because adequate width would remain for its intended purpose, the following action could be taken: Move to adopt the resolution vacating a portion of the drainage and utility easements within 744 Aster Road Attachments 1. Resolution vacating a portion of the drainage and utility easements within 744 Aster Road 2.

No. 51676 Ordinance Amendment Page 1 of 4 February 15, 2022 Rooftop Elements City Council Meeting + TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council FROM: Colette Baumgardner, Planning Intern Dusty Finke, Planning Director DATE: February 9, 2022 MEETING: February 15, 2022 - City Council SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment – Rooftop Elements Background On November 3, 2021, the City Council directed staff to conduct a study on the regulation of rooftop elements and adopted a moratorium prohibiting any rooftop element which extends more than 12 feet above a roof. The City Council and Planning Commission discussed potential methods to regulate rooftop elements at the following meetings: - December 14, 2021 – Planning Commission, Public Hearing - December 21, 2021 – City Council - January 11, 2022 - Planning Commission, Public Hearing - January 18, 2022 – City Council At the January 11th Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended the City Council approve the ordinance presented by staff. The most significant parts of the ordinance would regulate the height of architectural features and rooftop equipment using the framework in italics below. No architectural element shall extend higher than the greater of the following: (i) 10 feet above the highest point of the roof on which it is located; or (ii) a horizontal line 5 feet greater than the maximum building height allowed in the respective zoning district in which it is located, as measured to the average grade. No rooftop equipment, shall extend greater than 12 feet above the highest point of the roof on which it is located, except by conditional use permit. At the January 18th City Council meeting, the Council discussed five additional aspects of the regulations related to height of architectural features, including: - Conditional use permits - Exception for religious use - Limiting area of architectural features relative to the roof area - Adding a further limitation on the distance a feature can extend above the roof it is on - Varying standards based on zoning district. MEMORANDUM Agenda Item #8A Ordinance Amendment Page 2 of 4 February 15, 2022 Rooftop Elements City Council Meeting The majority of the council members agreed that further regulating height using the additional methods above likely would not be necessary. The majority of the council members also agreed the framework presented by staff and recommended by the Planning Commission would be suitable. The attached ordinance is intended to be consistent with the direction of City Council and recommendation of Planning Commission. Since the ordinance was last discussed by the City Council, the city attorney has considered questions and comments made by members of the public and has no concern about the city’s authority to regulate rooftop elements in the manner provided for in the proposed ordinance. Based on discussion at the January 18 meeting, staff thought additional visual examples of the height limitations of architectural elements might be a helpful prior to the Council’s final approval. Architectural Feature Height The ordinance presented limits the height of architectural features using the text in italics below. No architectural element shall extend higher than the greater of the following: (i) 10 feet above the highest point of the roof on which it is located; or (ii) a horizontal line 5 feet greater than the maximum building height allowed in the respective zoning district in which it is located, as measured to the average grade. The heights of 10 ft and 5 ft were selected based on the current architecture in Medina. To the best of staff’s knowledge, these heights allow for all existing architectural features in Medina to comply with the updated code except for the belfry at St. Anne’s Catholic Church and the spire on Holy Name Church. Additionally, these heights are similar in range to the heights found when studying surrounding community’s codes shown in Table 1. Table 1: Surrounding Community Rooftop Element Regulations Community Architectural Features Height Plymouth 10 ft above the max building height or 50 ft, whichever is greater. Increases allowed by CUP. Maple Grove 10 ft above building height Corcoran 10 ft above building height Wayzata Greater of 40 ft in total height or 5 ft over building. Increases allowed by CUP. St. Louis Park Limit is 50% of the allowable building height, except for parapet walls Minnetonka Explicitly does not regulate height of Architectural Features Chanhassen Does not regulate height of Architectural Features, except Parapet Walls: 4 ft above the max building height Golden Valley Limited to allowable building height in area with provision to exceed allowed Minnetrista Height limitation can be increased by CUP, parapet walls are prohibited Orono N/A – no regulation of architectural feature Ordinance Amendment Page 3 of 4 February 15, 2022 Rooftop Elements City Council Meeting The two sections of the ordinance are designed to accommodate features on top of peaked and flat roofs. While both sections apply to all roof types, staff would practically expect for section (i) to come into effect more often with pitched roofs and section (ii) for flat roofs. This is because pitched roofs can exceed the building height allowed in a district. The height of a pitched roof is measured to the average between the peak and the eave, meaning the peak often exceeds the maximum building height allowed in a district. Figure 1 below shows how building height is calculated for a pitched roof and how section (i) of the proposed ordinance applies to a pitched roof. Figure 1: Pictural Representation of Pitched Roof with an Architectural Feature Figure 2 below shows how section (i), which limits a feature to 10 feet above the highest point of the roof, will have a slightly different impact to overall height depending on the type of roof. Figure 2: Pictural Representation of Varying Roof Types with an Architectural Feature Figure 3 below shows how the height limit in section (i) is different than the height limit in section (ii) on flat roofs. The ordinance allows the greater of 10 ft over roof where it is placed or 5 ft above the maximum height allowed in the district. The features on top of Flat Roof 1 and Flat Roof 2 are greater than 10 ft in height, so they would be limited to 5 ft above the maximum height in the district. Whereas, the feature on top of Flat Roof 3 would be limited to a height of 10 ft over the roof where it is placed. Max Height = 10 ft Ordinance Amendment Page 4 of 4 February 15, 2022 Rooftop Elements City Council Meeting Figure 3: Section (ii) Height Limits Compared to Section (i) Height Limits for Flat Roofs Figure 3 highlights that the maximum height of a feature depends on the section of the roof where it is placed. As drafted, the ordinance would allow instances where an element on a taller roof can extend substantially higher from grade than an element on a lower roof. An element would be able to extend even higher above grade if the roof was pitched. If the Council is interested in reducing this differentiation between how far above grade the elements can extend above lower roofs, the height in section (ii) could be updated from 5 ft to 10 ft (above the maximum building height).

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Nelson, Director of Public Safety DATE: February 10, 2022 RE: Department Updates In the previous two weeks the Minneapolis Police Department was in the news again with an officer involved shooting resulting from a no-knock search warrant. I want the council to know that I have looked at our practices and past experiences with serving warrants. In the 22 years that I have been here, to my knowledge, we have never conducted a no-knock warrant in the city. We have been involved in drug and other investigations where they have been done in the past. I have spoken with the Hennepin County Supervisor who oversees the West Metro Drug Task Force. He did indicate they do use no knock warrants; depending on a criterion that they have set up, if they think one is applicable then it is sent to the SWAT team for review. After this, there are four layers for approval including the signing judge to determine if it is appropriate. If one is approved, the warrant is conducted by their SWAT teams and the task force members are used as outer perimeter support. The past two weeks are the first time in months that we have not had a staff member home with something Covid related. I am hoping that the peak has passed, and we can move towards a spring and summer in which it is not affecting everyone’s lives. Chief Van Eyll advised that the Long Lake Fire Department has partnered with HCMC and now can test our firefighters for Covid and receive the results within 24 - 48 hours. They are doing the testing at the Long Lake Fire Station and will allow police officers to also be part of this. The tests are taken at Long Lake and then will be delivered to HCMC that day. This has been done because they were finding that it was hard to get a Covid test without waiting a day or two to schedule the test and then another day or two to get the results. This will cut down on the time police/fire will be out. Patrol: The following are updates of Patrol Officers between January 22, 2022, and February 8, 2022: Officers issued 16 citations and 42 warnings for various traffic offenses, responded to 3 property damage accidents, 20 medicals, 4 suspicious calls, 5 traffic complaints, 13 assists to other agencies, 16 business/residential alarms. On 01/24/2022 Officer was dispatched to a suspicious person in Target. Asset Protection was reporting a known shoplifter was in the store and was in the act of concealing items. Officers arrived in the area and learned that the person had dropped the items they were concealing and left. Officer was able to locate the vehicle the person had left in and conducted a traffic stop. Occupant was identified and cited for traffic violations. Since the person dumped the items, they were concealing there was no theft. On 01/25/2022 Officer was dispatched to a reported domestic in the 200 block of Mallard Lane, Loretto. Upon arrival Officer learned of an argument between adult mother/daughter and the mother had grabbed the arm of daughter and spit on her. Mother, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested for domestic assault and transported to Hennepin County Jail. On 01/27/2022 Officer responded to take a fraud report in the 900 block of Highway 55. Business reported fraudulent transactions on their business account of more than $7,000. Business was expected to be reimbursed for the fraudulent charges by the bank. The case was forwarded to Investigations for review. On 01/28/2022 Officer was dispatched to a possible injured eagle in the south ditch of Highway 55. Passerby reported a young eagle had been standing in the ditch for past five hours. Officer arrived in the area and found a dead deer carcass in the ditch. Numerous eagle prints in the snow around the carcass, it is believed the eagle had been feeding on the carcass throughout the day. Reporting party was advised. On 01/28/2022 Officers were dispatched to a business in the 800 block of Tower Drive. Employees reported another employee had showed up for work intoxicated and was possibly now trying to leave. Officers arrived and located the intoxicated female sitting in the back seat of her vehicle. She was ultimately arrested for DWI. A search warrant was signed for a blood sample from the female, who was transported to West Health in Plymouth. Female was released pending the blood test results. On 02/01/2022 Officer was dispatched to a parking complaint at the Dominium Development. Manager reported a vehicle parked in multiple parking spots. Officer advised manager that this was private property and police could not do anything about the parking issue. On 02/02/2022 Officer was made aware of a Facebook post reporting a person having a gun pointed at them while driving along County Road 19. Officer was able to track down the person who made the post to get further information. Person reported a vehicle was driving slowly and weaving all over the road. Person reported honking at the other car and a passenger in the car held up a gun and pointed it at them. Person had only a limited description of the other vehicle. He was advised to call 911 if an incident like this ever happens again. On 02/03/2022 Officer took a harassment complaint by phone. Business manager reported they had fired an employee. That employee was now sending unwanted text messages and advising they would be showing up the following day to confront another employee. Officer attempted to call the terminated employee but was unable to make contact. A text message was left advising them not to show up at the business and any belongings and paychecks would be mailed. On 02/05/2022 resident reported a suspicious vehicle in the 4500 block of Trillium Drive South. Resident reported passenger in the vehicle had possibly stolen mail out of a mailbox. Resident had obtained a license plate on the suspicious vehicle. Case was forwarded to investigations for follow up. At this time no known items were reported missing. On 02/07/2022 person stopped by our office to make a harassment report. Person reported a male had approached and made unwanted advances on her. The male then was possibly following her around as she shopped inside Target. As she left the store the male again approached her and made another pass at her. Female was able to get into her vehicle and the male pulled up next to her in his vehicle and showed her a picture of a penis on his cell phone. The female then left and drove a different way home to make sure the male wasn’t following her. She was able to obtain a license plate of the male’s vehicle. Case will be forwarded to Investigations for follow up. Investigations: Continued update to the Willow Drive burglary. Additional investigations have been conducted with regards to the suspect, and additional search warrants have been executed. This investigation is ongoing. Began an investigation into a fraud report, where approximately $9,000 dollars was sent via Venmo to two unknown individuals in the promised return of Bitcoin, a confirmed scam where nothing was sent back in return. Four administrative subpoenas have been issued to corresponding organizations with regards to the investigation. Last council meeting in my investigations update I reported on a theft that had occurred, where the victim’s credit cards were used at Medina Target and the Plymouth Home Depot. I have since learned that the suspect has also committed similar crimes in Richfield and Shakopee and a mutual investigation is on-going between all involved agencies. There are currently 14 cases assigned to investigations. 1 TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council FROM: Steve Scherer, Public Works Director DATE February 8, 2022 MEETING: February 15, 2022 SUBJECT Public Works Update STREETS • The streets have been rather quiet the past couple weeks with just a few minor dustings of snow. • Soon we will be sending out the annual road material bids for paving and miscellaneous street work and materials. • The Chippewa Road extension project is moving along once again.
