Asked Public Works to reach out to Metropolitan Council again and talk 23 to Planning about wetland status (is it even possible to mow the entire area down 24 for a dog park)? 25 Hamel Legion Park: 26 • Discussed parking issues, residential complaints, no room to add more parking. 27 • From a distance, looked at space where new scoreboard is planned. 28 • Noted the community center is booked solid, contributing to the lack of parking. 29 Hunter Lions Park: 30 • Noted renovations may be delayed due to material shortages. 31 • Commented the City posts website and newsletter updates on progress. 32 Medina Park Commission Meeting Minutes - DRAFT May 18, 2022 Page 3 of 3 Holy Name Park: 1 • Noted the pervious surfaces needed vacuuming and cleaning. 2 • Discussed the benefit of simple park updates including canoe racks, a fire pit, 3 and bike racks. 4 • Commented on a softer incline to the lake and mowing to the shoreline, which 5 was not part of the design as the plants offer protection from stormwater runoff. 6 7 8 3) Diamond Lake Regional Trail Discussion 9 The bus returned to City Hall at 8:00 p.m. and the Park Commission moved to the council 10 chambers for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail Discussion. 11 12 Planning Director Dusty Finke presented the history of Three Rivers Park District’s 13 proposed Master Plan for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail, noting construction would 14 not occur for years or decades in the future, but the master plan would provide guidance 15 for acquisition and other planning in the long term. 16 17 Finke stated Three Rivers will be requesting a resolution of support from the City 18 Council through which the regional trail would be located in early June. In April the 19 Park Commission was asked to watch their email in early May for notification that the 20 Master Plan is available for review; and provide comments on the document. 21 22 After discussion, The Park Commission as a body thanked Finke and Three Rivers for the 23 presentation and declined to make a recommendation to the City Council on whether to 24 adopt a resolution of support for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail Master Plan because 25 group consensus was there was not adequate time to review the 100 page document. 26 27 4) Adjourn 28 The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. 29 1 TO: Medina Park Commissioner FROM: Lisa DeMars, Public Works Assistant DATE: June 10, 2022 MEETING: June 15, 2022 SUBJECT: Hamel Athletic Club Dugout Proposal Greg DeVos, President of the Hamel Lions Club, and representing The Hamel Athletic Club will present a proposal to paint the ball field dugouts at Hamel Legion Park.

Blooming Meadows Page 1 of 4 June 15, 2022 PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting TO: Park Commission FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director DATE: June 10, 2022 MEETING: June 15, 2022 Park Commission SUBJECT: Public Hearing – Blooming Meadows – Pillar Home Partners, Inc. E of Holy Name Dr., N. of CR 24 – Concept Plan Review PIDs 2411823110004, 2411823120015, and 1311823440005 Review Deadline Review Deadline: July 9, 2022 Summary of Request Pillar Home Partners has requested review of a PUD Concept Plan for a 5-lot rural subdivision located east of Holy Name Drive, northeast of Lakeview Road. The subject site is over 73 acres in size, with approximately 22 acres of wetlands. Almost all of the remaining property has been historically farmed. Surrounding property within Medina is mainly rural residential with the Lakeview Road neighborhood and Holy Name Lake to the southwest. The Churchill Farms and Bridlewood Farms neighborhoods in Plymouth are located to the east. An aerial of the subject site and surrounding land can be found to the right. The subject site is zoned and guided Rural Residential (RR). It appears that the property could be divided into five lots which meet the RR zoning district standards, and the applicant has submitted a “base density” plan showing how five standard RR lots could be arranged. MEMORANDUM •5 lots •73 acres (gross) •51 buildable acre •Rural Residential Agenda Item 5 Blooming Meadows Page 2 of 4 June 15, 2022 PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting The applicant is proposing a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to result in the same number of lots (five), but requests flexibility for lot size and arrangement to set aside a significant portion of the site (approximately 7.5 acres) for creation of additional wetland areas. The applicant intends to create a wetland bank with the additional wetland areas and sell credits from the bank. Comprehensive Plan The subject property is guided Rural Residential (RR) in the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density within the RR land use is generally 1 unit per 10 gross acres. The proposed 5- lot subdivision would fall below this maximum density. Proposed Concept The following table summarizes the proposed lots compared to the general RR district requirements. As noted above, a PUD allow the opportunity for flexibility from these standards if the City determines that such flexibility meets the purposes of the PUD ordinance and other City objectives. The areas of potential flexibility are highlighted in yellow. RR Requirement Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot 3 Lot 4 Lot 5 Gross Acreage N/A 26.1 acre 19.5 acre 7.5 acre 8.5 acre 9.5 acre Min. Lot Size 5 acre cont. suitable soils 4.7 acre 4.17 acre + 2 acre 5.1 acre 5.2 acre 3.76 acre Min. Lot Width 300 feet 708’ 1750’ 510’ 775’ 528’ Min. Lot Depth 200 feet 1272’ 580’ 965’ 1830’ 1120’ Front Setback 50 feet 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ Side Setback 50 feet 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ Rear Setback 50 feet 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ 50’ The RR zoning district establishes a minimum lot size of 5-acres of contiguous suitable soils as described in the subdivision ordinance. The applicant proposes that three of the lots contain less then 5-acres of contiguous suitable soils. Generally, this results because areas of suitable soils are proposed to be converted to wetland areas. The applicant has not explicitly described flexibility from other lot standards. In preliminary discussions with the applicants, staff had suggested potentially discussing reduced setbacks from internal setbacks within the site, while maintaining at least the minimum setbacks to the exterior. Wetlands and Floodplain Seven wetlands have been delineated on the site. The largest wetland occupies the northern quarter of the site. Wetlands 3 and 4 are the next largest and have usually not been farmed in recent years. The remaining wetlands are smaller and have often been farmed over time. The City’s wetland protection ordinance requires buffers based on the functional classification of the wetlands as described to the right. If the applicant creates wetland areas as contemplated by the concept plan, it is likely that Wetland Classification Avg. Buffer Width 1 Manage 2 25 feet 2 Manage 2 25 feet 3 Manage 2 25 feet 4 Manage 3 20 feet 5 Manage 3 20 feet 6 Manage 2 25 feet 7 Manage 2 25 feet Blooming Meadows Page 3 of 4 June 15, 2022 PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting much larger buffers will also be proposed adjacent to the new wetland. These buffers may also be sold as part of a wetland bank. Wetlands 1, 3, and 4 are partially drained with a draintile running through the field and to the south. Creating the larger wetland area would likely include altering how this draintile functions. The draintile serves as the primary outlet for Wetland 1, so it will be important that this outlet function is maintained in a manner than Wetland 1 does not impact other adjacent properties. FEMA floodplain maps identify Zone A floodplains within and adjacent to Wetland 1. The floodplains do not have a base flood elevation established, and it appears the mapped floodplain extends further south than is accurate based on site conditions. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed has provided a conservative estimate that the base flood elevation is likely below an elevation of 1002, but this will need to be modeled at the time of preliminary plat application. The applicant does not propose any impacts even at the 1002 elevation, but the precise elevation will impact allowed elevations for homes. Access/Transportation The applicants propose two shared driveways to provide access to Holy Name Drive, each serving 2 or 3 lots. One driveway would be south of the created wetland, across from Lakeview Road and the second driveway would be north of the created wetland, approximately 250 feet north of Cheyenne Trail, approximately 40 feet north of the existing field access. Tree Preservation Most of the site is farmed or wetland. There are areas of trees along the western edge of the site and a grove near the southern property line. It appears the applicant will propose some removal for grading and installation of the two shared driveways. The applicant has indicated that their intent is to save as much of the southern grove as possible by putting the driveway along the southern property line. Information on tree removal will be required at the time of preliminary plat review. Stormwater/Grading Review The applicant has not provided detail on proposed grading or stormwater management as part of the concept plan. The subdivision appears to create hardcover in an amount which will trigger the City’s stormwater management requirements. The enlarged buffers proposed by the applicant as part of the wetland creation will serve much or all of the volume control requirements of the site, and the applicant will need to show that runoff rate control is achieved. Utilities/Easements The lots will be served with individual wells and septic systems. The applicant has submitted soil borings identifying a primary and secondary Type I septic location for each proposed lot as required by state rules and the City’s individual sewage treatment system (ISTS) ordinance. The Type I septic locations for Lots 1 and 2 are proposed across the large wetland to the north, over 1200 feet from likely home sites. The building official has requested additional detail on this septic design to ensure that the sites can accessed, constructed and maintained successfully. There may be additional Type I locations within the southern portion of the property, and the Blooming Meadows Page 4 of 4 June 15, 2022 PUD Concept Plan Park Commission Meeting applicant may be able to shift lot lines or provide lot 1 or 2 the ability to install septic systems in these locations through easements. Any future plat should provide drainage and utility easements along the perimeter of lots, and over wetlands and drainageways. Parks/Trails/Park Dedication The City’s subdivision ordinance requires the following to be dedicated for parks, trails and public open space purposes, at the City’s option: • Up to 10% of the buildable land (in this case = 5.1 acres) • Cash-in-lieu of land – 8% of the pre-developed market value; minimum of $3500/residential unit, maximum of $8000/residential unit (in this case the $16,000 maximum will be triggered for the additional lots) • Combination of the above The City’s park plan does not identify the need for park space or trail corridors in the area of the property. The trail plan also does not identify future trails within the area of the subject property. Staff does not recommend that park land be required in this area. Although the City’s trail plan does not identify trail connections, staff does believe it is worth considering whether securing some opportunity for trail connectivity is advisable. Even if construction of such a trail is not contemplated within the City’s 20-year trail plan, securing easements for even the longer-term may be valuable. The large wetland to the north places some limitations on the ability for a north-south connection. There is upland along the western edge of the site, but this would be directly behind seven homes in the area. Staff has also noted that trails in the City of Plymouth come near the eastern edge of the site. These trails lead to a fairly extensive trail network within the Churchill Farms and Bridlewood Farms neighborhood. Staff has inquired with the City of Plymouth whether these trails are public or private and whether securing easements for the potential of long-term connectivity is worth considering. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Park Commission discuss whether securing trail easements for potential long-term connectively should be considered at the time of preliminary plat application, even though the City’s 20-year trail plan does not identify trail construction in the area. Except for any potential long-term trail easements, staff would recommend that cash be provide in-lieu of further dedication. Attachments 1. Applicant narrative 2. Concept Plan 3. Parks and Trail Plan Welcome to Blooming Meadows of Medina 5/10/2022 This application involves 72 acres on the most easterly edge of Medina's rolling acres. Access to these 5 new homesites in this new neighborhood will be from Holy Name Drive, where we have created two neighborhood entrances (north and south). These two entrances have been selected to work best with existing land grades, perimeter trees and will allow us to implement a new development strategy that re-establishes natural vegetation and water/wetlands not seen since pre -farming days. To achieve this very environmentally friendly application a collaborative development approach has been used. We have had many meetings with the City of Medina, the watershed district and its selected engineering partner, land ownership representatives and the Pillar Homes Development team. We have found harmony with nature and development. The land ownership group has embraced this approach of development that uses current zoning for housing density paired with wetland restoration to allow for future wetland banking opportunities. It is a refreshing neighborhood design that was created out of continuous collaboration with all parties. A) Attached you will find a concept design for standard zoning with 5 lots and required septic sites. This basic development design with "no" restoration component is to be used as a reference only to display the requirements needed by developer. B) P.U.D approach for development will be used to promote a restoration edge of development improvements. This P.U.D. encourages wetland recreation, new buffers of rolling meadow vegetation and house and septic locations that collaborate with these restoration techniques. We look forward to the future review of this application. It is not often that a consorted effort of "Best Practice" land development and restoration so perfectly blends a neighborhood with the environment. Details to consider: 1 Minimizing hardcover/grading for road access 2 Restoring wetland, water management and water filtration/absorption 3 Establishing buffer vegetation, enhancing soils and providing ecological improvements for wildlife 4 Reducing water runoff to nearby Holy Name Lake - removing pollutants and nitrates 5 Sequestering carbon - creating natures best carbon sink 6 Creating 5 new acreage homesites that blend seamlessly with the improvements above CONCEPT PLAN FOR PILLAR HOMES OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1, RASKOB ADD., TRACTS A & J, R.L.S.

Alchemy Soccer Association was unable to move their practice, so unfortunately the request was denied. Wayzata Early Learning School will hold park meetup(s) at Hamel Legion Park this summer. The baseball field at Medina Morningside has been reserved by a resident for a youth birthday party on August 28th. I continue to turn away several requests to reserve pavilions / shelters. Those amenities in our parks always remain 2 open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis, and are not for rent. We are receiving complaints of decorations and trash being left behind after parties/picnics, so have asked Managers of HOAs to remind residents to pick up after their parties or picnics. HAC’s Jamboree is on the calendar for Friday June 24th and Saturday June 25th at Hamel Legion Park. In addition to youth ball games, the event will include bounce houses, face painting, dunk your coach tank, radar gun station and a firetruck. Lawn Mowing Adjustments. The City contracted a new lawn mowing service in 2022. Twin City Outdoor Services have been easy to work with and are doing what they can to accommodate games and practices in the parks. Medina Morningside. A resident in the Medina Morningside neighborhood is requesting an update to the outdated basketball hoop at Medina Morningside Park. The height is not adjustable so the younger children in the neighborhood cannot easily use it, the backboard and rim are old, and the blacktop (court) could use an update. One dilemma in considering this replacement is the existing hoop was donated by a resident in memory / after the loss of her husband. The resident still lives in the house across the street from the hoop. Fields of Medina. A resident from the Fields of Medina stopped by the Parks Booth at Clean-up Day on April 30th to ask for a rain garden, similar to uptown Hamel, near the Fields of Medina. Public Works is in the process of replacing a broken bubble window on the playground. Townball Tour (FOX 9 News) at Hamel Legion Park. Mark your calendars for July 6th when FOX 9 will be broadcasting live beginning at 5 p.m., with post-game coverage, giveaway bags and yard games. Rusty Patched Bumble Bee Research. The US Geological Survey is organizing a research project focusing on the rusty patched bumble bee this summer; and asked for permission to monitor a park within Medina.

My name is Tori Lee and I am the Early Childhood Outreach Specialist at the Wayzata Early Learning School. Our Outreach Team brings early learning programming and opportunities into the community to combat any barriers families may face whether it'd be financial, transportation, etc. We want all families to have equal access to quality programming. As we know, these past couple of years have presented its challenges with the pandemic. This past year, our Early Learning Schools' Outreach Team offered a virtual ECFE class to a small group of families. This summer we are hoping to all meet in person since we are somewhat getting "back to normal". I wanted to check with you to see if it's okay to hold a park meetup at Hamel Legion for these families. The intent is to simply get together to play and reconnect. The date would be Tuesday, July 5, 2022 from 9:30am‐11:00am. Thank you for your consideration.

My name is Stacy Simanonok and I am biologist with the US Geological Survey. I am helping organize a research project focusing on the rusty patched bumble bee this summer. The goal is to estimate occupancy and detection of the rusty patched bumble bee to inform national monitoring and recovery efforts, with surveys taking place in MN and IL. We are hoping to add Hamel Legion Park (or potentially another park as you may suggest- see below) as one of our field sites. Our Minnesota sites will be visited by technicians employed by USFWS (Tam Smith-Tamara_Smith@fws.gov) and USGS (Clint Otto- cotto@usgs.gov) approximately 4-5 times this summer, starting in late June and ending in September. Each visit will be about 30 minutes long and biologists will be doing a random walk throughout high flower patch areas looking for rusty patched bumble bees (Bombus affinis). No bees will be handled or touched- observers will be using visual identification in the field and photos to record information. If you would like to suggest a different park, that would be great. I have included an image of our "grid cell" area that we need to stick within- so east of Parkview Drive mainly. The blue star below is Hamel Legion Park. We are looking for parks with open grassy/meadow areas that may have patches of flowers and hopefully easy to access for our technicians. Please let me know if we have permission to add one of your parks to our list of field sites and if you have any further questions.
