DeMars reminded the Park Commission about clean-up day on Saturday, April 29. Sharp, 8
Norman, and Mayer volunteered to staff the tabletop display. 9
10
DeMars reminded the Park Commission about the annual park tour on May 17, which will take 11
place in lieu of the regular scheduled park commission meeting. 12
13
Scherer and the commission discussed Lakeshore Park renovations and moving forward with 14
seating decks in the hillside (two on the south side of the boat ramp, one on the north side of the 15
ramp) and a pavilion on the north lawn, but no stairs from top of hill to bottom of hill, due to the 16
complexity of approval through the DNR. Regulations mandate that the decks would need to be 17
10 feet off of the water. We are looking at maintenance free material, similar to the benches 18
throughout all parks. 19
20
Scherer said the kayak rack is put together and stored in the old public works shop at city hall. 21
Public Works is neck deep in road projects, and the storage rack will be installed when time 22
allows. First footings and a concrete pad will be installed. The commission discussed fairness 23
for usage of the racks, and developing a lottery, if necessary, if several residents are interested in 24
and only eight racks available. 25
26
The commission directed staff to develop regulations and a registration/permit process for 27
watercraft storage use, then present at the next park commission meeting. DeMars agreed to 28
have ideas ready for the June 21 meeting. 29
30
Based on survey feedback, neighborhood discussions, and the agreed opinion that although the 31
playground equipment is older, it is still in good shape, and the observations that the playground 32
is seldom utilized, the commission agreed to leave this portion of the park as-is. 33
34
Scherer asked the commission for their recommendation on a means to detour further vandalism 35
at Hunter Park, because the baseball field was again destroyed by cars whipping donuts on the 36
field. The park commission suggested temporary fencing and either concrete parking bumpers or 37
split rail fencing as a longer-term solution. The concern remains that the vandals could still 38

access the field via the trail. Scherer noted he spoke to the Chief of Police, who has already 1
arranged to have the park patrolled more often. 2

PUD General Plan/Prelim Plat Park Commission Meeting
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director
DATE: June 15, 2023
MEETING: June 21, 2023 Park Commission
SUBJECT: Preserve of Medina – PUD General Plan and Prelim Plat
E of Holy Name Dr., N. of CR 24 – PIDs 2411823110004, 2411823120015,
1311823440005, and 1311823430016
Review Deadline
Review Deadline: September 9, 2023 (PUD); September 14, 2023 (pre plat)
Summary of Request
Tim Boser and HL Anderson LLC have requested review of a PUD General Plan
and Preliminary Plat for a 5-lot rural subdivision located east of Holy Name Drive,
northeast of Lakeview Road. The applicant also proposes to create and restore a large area of
wetlands on the site to create a wetland bank.
The City reviewed a PUD Concept Plan for the project last summer. At that time, the project
was known as “Blooming Meadows”.
Excerpts from these meetings are
attached for reference. Feedback
from the Commissions and Council
was generally supportive for the
project and generally suggested that
the project was likely to meet the
purpose and objectives of the PUD
ordinance.
The subject site is over 73 acres in
size, with approximately 22 acres of
wetlands. Almost all the remaining
property has been historically
farmed. Surrounding property
within Medina is mainly rural
residential to the north and west.
Holy Name Lake and the
Lakeview Road neighborhood is 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.
MEMORANDUM
•5 lots
•73 acres (gross)
• 51 buildable acre
• Rural Residential
Agenda Item 6
Preserve of Medina Page 2 of 5 June 21, 2023
PUD General Plan/Prelim Plat Park Commission Meeting
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.
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 acres restored wetlands and with another 7 acres additional buffer) 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.
Staff has attached excerpts from Comprehensive Plan related to Vision and Community Goals,
the general land use principles and objectives of rural land use. The criteria for reviewing a PUD
include determining whether the PUD meets these objectives better than a development
following the general ordinance standards. The applicant describes how they believe their
proposal achieves these purposes and objectives in their narrative.
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.
7. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lower
development costs and public investments.
Preserve of Medina Page 3 of 5 June 21, 2023
PUD General Plan/Prelim Plat Park Commission Meeting
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 from minimum lot size
requirements to create additional wetland area. The applicant does not propose more lots than
could be achieved designing to the standard RR district standards.
Proposed General Plan/Preliminary Plat
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.

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 four of the lots contain less
than 5-acres of contiguous suitable soils. Generally, this results because areas of suitable soils
are proposed to be converted to wetland areas.
The applicant referenced potential flexibility to lot depth/width standards within their narrative.
As currently proposed, the lots all meet minimum depth/width standards. However, the applicant
is still completing model on what the footprint of the wetland creation area will be. As a result,
the orientation of some of the lot lines may be adjusted upon final plat and they would like to
maintain flexibility.
The applicant has proposed flexibility for the setback required for animal structures to 50’, rather
than the 150’ required in code. Staff believes this reduction would be appropriate from internal
property lines. However, staff would recommend maintaining a minimum setback of 100’ to the
external of the site. Staff believes flexibility from internal setback requirements is appropriate to
support the clustering of lots to provide the area for wetland creation/restoration.

PUD General Plan/Prelim Plat Park Commission Meeting
Parks/Trails/Park Dedication
Ordinance Requirements
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 in the area of the property. The
trail plan does not identify any trail corridors. However, there is an extensive private trail
network within the Plymouth neighborhood to the east which are located very close to the edge
of the site. These trails connect to Plymouth trails and to Greenwood Elementary.
In consultation with
Plymouth staff, Medina
staff believes it would be
advisable to secure a trail
easement connecting
from the eastern property
line to Holy Name Drive.
This would provide
opportunity to connect
these trails if they were
ever to become public to
provide connectivity in
the area. The aerial to
the right shows the
location of existing trails
in solid green, and staff’s
recommended easements
for the subject subdivision
(and potentially extending
to the north) in dashed
green.
Preserve of Medina Page 5 of 5 June 21, 2023
PUD General Plan/Prelim Plat Park Commission Meeting
Staff has calculated that the area of the trail easement shown on the aerial would account for
approximately 29% of the park dedication. Staff would recommend obtaining these easements
and collecting 71% of the cash-in-lieu amount.
Staff does not recommend construction at this time, but would recommended securing the land
for potential future connections.
Potential Action
If the Park Commission concurs with requiring the trail easements as described, the following
action could be taken:
Motion to recommend requiring the trail easements described in the staff report and cash-in-
lieu of additional park dedication [with any recommended changes].

EXCERPTS FROM COMP PLAN
Chapter 2: VISION & COMMUNITY GOALS
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Vision and Community Goals chapter is the heart of the Comprehensive Plan and provides
the foundation from which City officials make consistent and supporting land use decisions. This
chapter includes a set of general community goals that guided the creation of this Plan.
The concepts in this chapter are some of the few static elements of the Comprehensive Plan. If land
uses change or other infrastructure varies from the Plan, decisions will be founded in the goals set
forth below. The Vision and Goals were created with the involvement of the Comprehensive Plan
Steering Committee (the “Steering Committee”), City officials, and residents of Medina and are
broadly supported.
Land use designations are subject to strong social and economic pressures to change. Accordingly,
it is appropriate that such systems be periodically evaluated in light of changing social and
economic conditions. As development evolves, the Vision and Goals will provide the guidance for
accomplishing the vision for the future of the community even when changes are necessary to the
land use plan.
Detailed objectives and recommendations are contained within each of the subject chapters of this
plan.
Creating the Vision and Goals
The residents, the Steering Committee, City officials and staff participated in the planning process
for the Plan. A series of public participation meetings were conducted to introduce and solicit
information from the residents of Medina. The Steering Committee held work sessions that
focused on integrating the concerns and desires of the community together with accommodating
growth and regional impacts. An online forum provided additional opportunity for residents to
impact the Vision and Community Goals as they were formulated.
In addition to land use and growth planning, the City implemented open space, natural resources,
and infrastructure planning. The goals which guided this process are integrated into this chapter.
Each element of this plan was developed with assistance from city officials and a diverse group of
community stakeholders producing a truly representative plan. The City made a conscious
decision to emphasize natural resources and open space conservation.
Community Vision
The following statement provides a vision of the community for the future and the
resultant goals and strategies.
Medina is a community united by a common goal: to sustain and enhance the quality of life of its
residents. Medina will protect its significant natural resources and open space throughout the City,
while honoring its rural heritage and fostering safe and well-designed neighborhoods, places of recreation
and destinations for citizens to gather. Development within the City will be commensurate with
available transportation systems, municipal services and school capacity.
Community Goals
The following Community Goals are derived from the Vision Statement and inform
objectives and strategies throughout the various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
• Preserve rural vistas, open spaces, and wetlands in all parts of the community
to promote the rural character of Medina.
• Protect and enhance the environment and natural resources throughout the community.
• Encourage and incent innovative and environmentally friendly approaches to
planning, engineering and development.
• Expand urban services only as necessary to accommodate regionally forecasted
residential growth, desired business opportunities and achievement of other
Community Goals. Such development and growth shall be at a sustainable pace
proportionate with capacity of schools and transportation, water supply and
wastewater infrastructure available to the City.
• Spread development so that it is not geographically concentrated during
particular timeframes.
• Promote public and private gathering places and civic events that serve the
entire community.
• Preserve and expand trails and parks to provide community recreational facilities,
connect neighborhoods, and encourage healthy lifestyles of its residents.
• Provide opportunities for a diversity of housing at a range of costs to support
residents at all stages of their lives.
• Encourage an attractive, vibrant business community that complements the
residential areas of the City.
• Maintain its commitment to public safety through support of the City’s
police department and coordinate with its contracted volunteer fire
departments.
• Manage the City through prudent budgeting processes, retaining a skilled and
efficient staff and long-range planning and financial management.
Future Land Use Plan Principles
The Future Land Use Plan guides the development of Medina through 2040, and will be used
to implement the City’s goals, strategies and policies. The Plan is guided by the Vision and
Community Goals as furthered by the following principles:
Development Patterns and Neighborhood Form
• 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.
• Create neighborhoods with a variety of housing types that are well connected
with roads, trails or sidewalks.
• Maintain the integrity of rural neighborhoods and promote development
patterns consistent with existing rural residential development.
• Recognize neighborhood characteristics and promote new development compatible
in scale, architectural quality and style with existing neighborhoods.
• Stage residential growth to minimize the amount of adjacent developments which
occur within the same time period.
• Guide density to areas with proximity to existing infrastructure and future
infrastructure availability.
• Concentrate higher density development near service oriented businesses to help
promote walkability.
• Consider planned development in surrounding communities when making land use
decisions in the City.
Road Patterns
• Recognize regional highway capacity and planned improvements, along with use
forecasts, as major factors in planning for growth and land use changes.
• Establish collector streets with good connections through the community’s growth
areas.
• Promote trails and sidewalk access near roads and thoroughfares to encourage multi-
modal transportation choices.
• Consider opportunities to improve north-south travel within the City.
Open Spaces and Natural Resources
• Preserve natural resources throughout the community and provide educational
opportunities to residents to help them understand the value of natural areas.
• Preserve open spaces and natural resources.
• Protect wooded areas and encourage improvement of existing resources and
reforestation. Evaluate existing woodland protections and supplement as necessary.
• Support the guidelines identified in the Open Space Report to preserve the City’s
natural systems.
Business Districts and Commercial Areas
• Focus service businesses and development near urban residential densities and along
primary transportation corridors.
• Provide connections between residents and commercial areas and promote businesses
within mixed-use areas.
• Work to create job opportunities in the community for Medina residents to reduce
traffic and commuting demands.
• Emphasize service and retail uses which serve the needs of the local community and
provide opportunities for the community to gather.
• Support business development with a corporate campus style which provides
open and protects natural resources.
Rural Designations
Objectives:
1. Allow low-density development in the Rural Residential Area including innovative
arrangements of homes that preserve open space and natural resources.
2. Encourage conservation of open space, farms and ecologically significant natural resources
in the rural areas.
3. Enforce stringent standards for the installation and maintenance of permanent, on-
site sewage disposal systems.
4. Allow public facilities and services, such as parks and trail systems, if compatible with
rural service area development.
5. Allow land uses, such as home-based businesses, hobby farms, horse stables, nurseries
and other smaller-scale rural activities, which will not conflict with adjoining residential
development.
6. Regulate noise, illumination, animals, and odors as needed to maintain public health and
safety.
7. Maintain a maximum density of one unit per forty acres for property in the Agricultural
land use.
8. Maintain a maximum density of one unit per ten acres for new development in the Rural
Residential and Future Development Area land use.
9. Consider exceptions to maximum density standards for open space developments that
protect natural features and put land into permanent conservation. Within the
Metropolitan Council’s long term sewer service area (reference Map 5-5), these
exceptions will be allowed to result in development with a density in excess of one unit
per ten gross acres if consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s Flexible Residential
Development Guidelines.
10. Urban services will not be provided to the Agricultural, Rural Residential, or Future
Development Area land uses during this planning cycle.
11. Require preservation of natural slopes, wetlands, woodlands and other significant
natural characteristics.
12. Require that lots contain adequate soil types and conditions as defined in the City's
on-site septic system requirements.
13. Protect property within the Future Development Area designation from subdivision and
development by requiring ghost plats for subdivisions so that future urban expansion is
not compromised.
14. Reduce impervious surfaces where possible by applying low impact design standards
and encourage innovative materials and plans that reduce runoff.
15. Encourage and incentivize landowners to participate in the protection and conservation of
significant natural resources.

Comprehensive Plan
This Rural Residential development conforms to the City of Medina’s goals as a community.
The applicant offers the following excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan and discussion as it
relates to this development.
Community Goals. The following Community Goals are derived from the Vision Statement and
inform objectives and strategies throughout the various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.
• Preserve rural vistas, open spaces, and wetlands in all parts of the community to promote the
rural character of Medina.
Response: This development is 5 lots on 73 acres which is very low density (1: 14.6 ac), lower
than what the overall goal is for Rural Residential. The Future Land Use Plan shows guiding as
Rural Residential, which it will stay. The Staging and Growth Plan shows LTSSA (Long-Term
Sewer Service Area) beyond the year 2035. Keeping this 73 acres in Rural Residential provides
for a fantastic buffer from sewered development in Plymouth and the guided Medina land on the
north on Medina Road.
• Protect and enhance the environment and natural resources throughout the community.
Response: The Comprehensive Plan and Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan show no key
natural features on the property. This has been historical farm land in Medina. Long ago, the
property was draintiled to assist in crop growth and the wetlands of the past were drained. The
owner’s current plans are to bring those wetlands on the south back and protect them in a
conservation easement.
Watershed/Wetland/Floodplain
This property is in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. See memo dated January 19, 2022
from Kate Moran, Policy Planning Coordinator where she details that due to the low density on
the property the Rules dictate that, “MCWD’s Stormwater Management Rule will not be
triggered as a new residential development that will result in less than 20 percent impervious
surface over the site.” Other review will be necessary for erosion control, wetland banking etc.
There are eight field delineated wetlands on the property (see exhibit next page), seven of the
wetlands are less than an acre in size. The largest wetland is on the north and is part of the 100-
year floodplain. There is no 100-year established floodplain elevation for this property but with
the Stantec hydrologic study that is currently occurring on the Property, one of the many results
will be to establish this flood elevation. All homes will be placed well above the final flood
elevation. The following diagram is from the approved wetland delineation for the property.

The following is the City of Medina MnRAM Wetland Classifications map.

Wetland 2-8 = Manage 3, Average Buffer Width 20’, Min 15’, Buffer Setback 15’

It is important to note that the smaller wetlands on the property are likely de minimis for any
wetland impact for construction. There will be a very large new wetland created in Outlot A
which will nearly double the amount of wetlands on the property. See Stantec Memo attached.
Septic
Rusty Olson has performed field perc testing for each lot for both the primary and secondary
septic sites and that information is attached. Lot’s 1 and 2 show the primary and secondary
locations on the north side of the large wetland. Mr. Olson has provided a design for those
systems and access to those locations will either occur over the wetland complex via portable
roadway, or via easement from the north property (see attached). Also, as shown on the
preliminary plat, the primary and secondary sites for septic slightly overlap each other and are
across property lines. The applicant believes these are backup sites for septic for Lot’s 1 and 2
and therefore the likelihood of them being needed is slim. However, the applicant will address
this with easements for each property.
Shoreland Ordinance
The southern portion of the Property lies within 1000 feet of the shoreland of Holy Name Lake.
All lots should have no problem meeting all regulations of lot size in the ordinance.
Stormwater/Grading/Erosion Control
See memorandum from Mark Gronberg, PE.
Access
Access will be served off of Holy Name Drive. There will be two private driveways off of Holy
Name, one on the south to serve Lot’s 3 and 4 and one on the north to serve Lot’s 1, 2 and 5. The
driveway’s will be in a 50-foot Outlot on the plat and a 20-foot driveway paved surface. The lots
will have a private driveway agreement that serves all five lots.
PUD Flexibility
The underlying zoning is Rural Residential. The proposed zoning is PUD which will generally
follow the Rural Residential zoning district but the applicant is proposing some flexibility and
additional considerations. While not exhaustive, the following list is for discussion purposes for
the final PUD Agreement with the City:
▪ Reduced Depth and Width of Lots
▪ Reduced or averaged wetland buffers to primary and secondary structures as needed.
▪ Reduced animal out building setbacks (from 150’ to 100’)
▪ Second principal residential dwelling
▪ Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s)
▪ Hard cover not to exceed 40% as in RR (Shoreland is 25%)

Homes
Gordon James will be the builder of record for the development. All homes will be custom to

quality design of home and lot.

MEMORANDUM
To: Medina Park Commission
From: Lisa DeMars, Public Works Assistant
Date: June 15, 2023
Meeting: June 21, 2023
Subject: Lakeshore Park Reconstruction Project
In 2022 the Park Commission directed City Staff to conduct a survey petitioning resident opinion on
desired improvements at Lakeshore Park. The Park Commission thoroughly reviewed public
feedback, concept designs, estimated project cost, and has decided to focus on a watercraft storage
rack and three seating decks tucked into the hillside. Future planned improvements also include a
deck and pavilion on the north side of the boat launch.
The capital improvement plan had already allocated funds for Lakeshore Park improvements in 2023,
therefore the watercraft storage rack was placed on order. The estimated cost of $10,000 includes
footings and concrete.
The estimated cost for framing, decking, benches, and labor to build the hillside decks is $7,000 (per
deck - $21,000 total).
Staff is on the lookout for an Eagle Scout candidate to build the pavilion. The estimated cost for the
pavilion, a permeable surface overlook seating area, and a sidewalk is $25,000.
For Park Commissioner review, attachments include suggested post(s) for the newsletter and social
media, the (draft) small watercraft permit application, suggested modifications for the fee schedule,
and suggested revisions to the Lakeshore Park concept drawing.
Recommended Action
•Recommend to the City Council adoption of the Lakeshore Park Concept Plan.
•Direct Staff to post newsletter and social media content; small watercraft permit application,
modify fee schedule, and clean-up the Lakeshore Park concept drawing.

given to off-water residents. Medina residents may enter their name into the lottery for a chance to secure a
space for the season. No fee will be assessed for the lottery enrollment or rack rental. If you are selected, a
rack will be assigned for use during the season. To learn more and obtain an application packet, visit our

SMALL WATERCRAFT SEASONAL STORAGE RACK LOTTERY NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Medina is adding new features to Lakeshore Park and we’re launching a lottery for seasonal small watercraft
storage permits.
In 2022 the Medina Park Commission directed City Staff to conduct a survey petitioning resident opinion on
desired improvements at Lakeshore Park. The Park Commission reviewed public feedback, concept designs,
project cost, and has decided to focus on a watercraft storage rack and three seating decks tucked into the
hillside. Future planned improvements also include a deck overlooking the lake at the top of the hillside and a
pavilion.
Eight small watercraft racks are available for Medina residents to utilize. Due to the limited number of spaces,
the City will run a seasonal lottery enrollment.
The seasonal lottery will be open to only Medina residents, from January 1 through April 1 each year, with
priority given to off-water residents. No fee will be assessed for the lottery enrollment or rack rental. Only
one rack will be awarded per property/household. Only one entry per property/household. The storage racks
are intended for one canoe, sailboard, paddle board or kayak storage only (no other watercrafts are
permitted). The racks are for seasonal use from May 1 through October 1.
Lottery winners will be contacted by e-mail after April 1. That email will include a permit application packet
that must be completed and returned within one week. We will NOT be sending winners any other
notifications other than the application via email.
Vessels may be up to 20 feet long, 34 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. Each rack can hold one watercraft and
the total weight placed on the rack is not to exceed 150 pounds. All watercraft owners of vessels over 10ft
long are required to show proof of current Minnesota Watercraft License from the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
All vessels stored in the City’s storage racks must be stored upside-down to avoid filling with water. Small
watercraft owners will be responsible for supplying their own locking system to secure their vessel to their
designated rack; and removing their vessel by no later than October 1. Watercraft vessels or other equipment
illegally locked or left in any other public area (other than a designated small watercraft rack); or left in any
public area from October 2 to April 29, will be considered abandoned property and disposed of by the City.
Registrants who are not awarded a rack during the lottery will be added to a numerical waiting list, which will
be used if racks become available during the summer season.
Registrants who submit a complete application outside of the lottery window will be added to the numerical
waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis, which will be used if racks become available during the summer
season. In the event there is no waiting list, the City reserves the right to rent a second rack per
property/household.
Lakeshore Park is a quiet oasis. The lake is gorgeous. The playground equipment is quaint. And soon we will
offer comfortable decks for people to enjoy the views. It is just one of the many wonderful parks that our City
offers to its residents.
The upgrades will be a great amenity for the community and are expected to be very popular, as is evident by
the number of residents who participated in the survey in 2022.
For questions, or to enter your name into the lottery, please contact Lisa DeMars at
lisa.demars@medinamn.gov.
**FOR THE 2023 SEASON ONLY: MEDINA RESIDENTS MAY ENTER THEIR NAME INTO THE LOTTERY ON A
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.**
Limit ONE entry per person and household.
Limit one storage spot per person and household, per season.

No attachments for this item.
6.Preserve of Medina – PUD General Plan & Pre-plat – Park & Trail Review
Planning Director Dusty Finke’s report outlines the applicant’s request to subdivide their 73+
acre parcel into 5 lots. The applicant also proposes to create and restore a large area of wetlands on
the site to create a wetland bank. The City’s park plan does not identify the need for park space in
the area of the property. The trail plan does not identify any trail corridors. However, there is an
extensive private trail network within the Plymouth neighborhood to the east which are located very
close to the edge of the site. These trails connect to Plymouth trails and to Greenwood Elementary.
In consultation with Plymouth staff, Medina staff believes it would be advisable to secure a trail
easement connecting from the eastern property line to Holy Name Drive. This would provide
opportunity to connect these trails if they were ever to become public to provide connectivity in the
area. This trail easement would account for approximately 29% of the park dedication, and the
remaining could be collected as cash-in-lieu.
See attached report.
Recommended Action: Provide recommendation on potential trail land.

MEETING: May 16, 2023
SUBJECT: Green River Greening Grant Opportunity - Medina Lake Preserve
Summary
Great River Greening (GRG) leads community-based restoration of prairies, forests, and
waters throughout Minnesota and is currently developing its proposals to the Outdoor
Heritage Fund and Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. GRG has a 25+ year
track record of helping public and private landowners with ecological expertise, funding, and
community engagement, and they want to continue to expand their geographic footprint as
well as support new and existing partners. Project areas often involve park lands, natural
areas, wildlife refuges, nature centers, and other comparable lands.
The Park Commission is always on the lookout for grant opportunities to supplement the
parks budget and in February directed Staff to inquire about a partnership opportunity with
GRG. In March Lisa DeMars and I met with GRG for consideration to be included in their
projects plan for State proposals. We decided to focus on the 14 acres of trees located in
Medina Lake Preserve for forest reestablishment and enhancement. We coordinated a site
visit in April and met with GRC again on May 10th to review their 5-year work plan
proposal.
The grant project submittal is a 1.5-year process. Hearings are set for September, October,
December, and March 2024 where the council will discuss and ultimately make a final
recommendation. Upon finalized funding, GRG will draft a cooperative agreement for the
City’s review and approval. The City will then have two weeks to respond.
The 2023 Park Commission goal established for this area is to begin clean-up in the
buckthorn infested woods, make a trail head, and plan for a pavilion. All agree this location
will be a great resource for residents to go out and enjoy. The Diamond Lake trail is also
planned for this immediate area, so the restoration would benefit the neighborhoods on this
side of town, plus trail traffic from surrounding areas.
I am asking the City Council to approve a letter of recommendation in support of the
proposal prior to the Park Commissions recommendation because the deadline for submittal
to the State is May 26th. Funds are identified in the 2023 and 2024 CIP for cleanup of this
park. Staff has had discussion with the park commission, and we will follow up with a formal
Park Commission recommendation after the next regular scheduled meeting on June 21.

Staff Recommendation
• Direct Staff to draft a letter of recommendation to Great River Greening in support of
their proposed forest restoration 5-year work plan for Medina Lake Preserve.
Attachments
• Great River Greening Proposed Forest restoration 5-year work plan for Medina Lake
Preserve.
Medina Lake Preserve
Total Site Acres: 14
Forest reestablishment and enhancement
Site Observations April 19,2023:
• Forested knoll surrounded by Reed Canary Grass (RCG) dominant wetland complex. Overall site is about
14 acres with separated forested areas totaling 8 acres.
• “Forested” areas have buckthorn encroachment to varying degrees and age class. The western edge
appears to be denser and older.
• Isolated ticket of older large buckthorn along southwestern edge of wetland.
• Open areas are a mix of mowed blue grass and reed canary –
o Large, mowed areas to the east are an opportunity for reforestation in mowed reed canary areas
and closing the canopy.
o Overall trail loop is the size of 2 lane road. Is this needed for access or can it be lessened to one
pass with a mower?
• Overall the site is indicative of former grazed woodland pastureland. Younger tree species are all of similar
age class with in the past 20-30 years. Thickets of prickly ash present on edges.
• Access from the new parking lot in Marsh Pointe subdivision would make easy access for equipment and a
trailered biochar kiln to assist in processing removal of invasive tree species.
• Green ash are on site. No recommendations on removing unless there is concern of them becoming future
hazard trees. Trees would be monitored for signs of emerald ash borer during any work on site.
Species observed 4/19/2023:
• Black Cherry
• Black Maple
o Own species or subspecies of Sugar Maple depending on source
• Ironwood
• Hawthorn
• Green Ash
• Red Oak
• Bladdernut
o (seed pods found on site further on site verification required)
• Ramps
• Virginia waterleaf
• Garlic mustard
• Geum sp.
Looking at DNR plant communities, Historically the site appears to be MHs38b Basswood-Bur Oak (Green Ash)
Forest. The indicator species include ramps, Virginia waterleaf, and bladdernut. Green ash is supposed to be the
most abundant canopy trees, basswood and red oak is also supposed to be common, and there can also be sugar
maple, bur oak and white oak. The subcanopy has abundant ironwood and occasional basswood, and sometimes
blue beech, American elm, red elm, and bitternut hickory.
Proposed Forest restoration work plan for
Medina Lake Preserve
1. Project oversight by Great River Greening Ecologist
i. Draft a Natural Resource Management plan and work plan for 5 years of funded work as well as 10 years
post grant funding.
ii. Grant administration, reporting and document storage for 7 years after grant close.
iii. Draft, release, and award public RFB (Request for Bid) and specifications to hire a qualified natural
resources service provider to implement prescribed restoration activities.
iv. Oversee implementation of workplan by service provider and act on City’s behalf over course of
implementation.
2. Contracted work
i. Invasive tree & shrub removal through cut and stump treat.
ii. Select tree thinning removal of large single species stands of similar age class.
iii. 50% Dead fall removal
iv. Material would be processed on site with biochar kilns. If this option is not available material will be
chipped and removed to compost facility.
v. Seeding of perimeter and partial shade areas of infested areas with native grass mix
vi. 1st year follow up in late summer with cutting of any resprouts or seedlings.
vii. Mid to late fall selective herbicide follow up on any resprouts or seedlings (2-3yrs).
3. Two volunteer events (50-100volunteers each)
i. Woodland/Forest nursery plot plantings in 10x10 fenced areas to protect from deer and rabbits.
• As plants mature within caged areas future site volunteers/stewards can divide and replant across
the site.
ii. Tree and shrub planting.
• Reforest area of intense removal, as well as in larger tracks of grass to reduce the amount area
needing to be mowed for trails. Material stock would be a combination of bare root and container
depending on availability of specific species.
$172,000 Total proposed budget:
$150,000 Recommended grant request for work as prescribed
$ 22,000 Min match requirement needed.
All plans, specifications and documents will be shared with the City of Medina for documentation of work and for
building future staff knowledge.
For all planting and seeding species resiliency in a warming climate will be considered when selecting species and
source of material.
If the proposal is approved for funding request funds would become available July 1, 2024, and be available for 5
years through June 30, 2029.

Great River Greening
About Us
Our mission is to inspire, engage, and lead local communities in conserving
and caring for the land and water that enrich our lives.
There has never been a more critical
time to strengthen our shared
greenspaces.
At Great River Greening, we harness the
power of community engagement to
lead science-based habitat restoration
throughout the state of Minnesota.
We bring people from all walks of life
closer to the natural world around them.
As a leader in community-driven
projects, we know this work, together,
creates a lasting dedication to
Minnesota’s land and water.
Great River Greening began in 1995 as
a project to “Green the Great River”. Over 10,000 volunteers planted 35,000 trees
along the Saint Paul Mississippi River Valley, which sparked an even grander vision.
Now we restore 2,000 acres of critical habitat annually alongside 2,500 volunteers.
Great River Greening has grown to become Minnesota’s leader for
community-based conservation.
Our youth programming inspires over 1,000 future environmental stewards each
year. Our ecologists give youth the hands-on education they need to nurture the
environment beyond one place or one event, but continuously in their own
neighborhoods and communities.

About Us
VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS
Each year, Great River Greening engages thousands of volunteers to
participate in stewardship events in their own communities. We reach deep,
partnering with civic organizations, schools, businesses, nonprofits, and
government agencies. Since we began, we have engaged over 45,000
volunteers, of which 12,000 are youth and young adults.

Minnesota’s most threatened natural areas. Through a science-based approach,
we transform degraded habitat into beautiful, resilient outdoor places for
people to connect with nature. While each project is unique, we address
Minnesota’s more pressing environmental challenges:
• Water quality along the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers
• Declining pollinator habitat and health
• Climate change that results in extreme weather and excessive flooding
• Threatened public green spaces, including regional parks, trails, and
wildlife areas
• Engaging marginalized communities in environmental stewardship

MEMORANDUM
To: Medina Park Commission
From: Lisa DeMars, Public Works Assistant
Date: June 15, 2023
Meeting: June 21, 2023
Subject: Capital Improvement - Park Funding
The City utilizes two main revenue sources to fund parks and trails: 1) Park Dedication Fund & 2) Municipal
Park Fund, which are described below. These funds must maintain sufficient balances to account for all future
park and trail planning including new park amenities, land acquisitions, and replacement costs for existing
parks. The Capital Improvement Plan (attached) helps the City budget out the next five years of spending for
each of these funds. The Park Commission’s Park Asset Inventory looks at the life of each asset in our parks to
help us budget out long-term needs.
Park Dedication Fund
The Park Dedication Fund is to be used by the City Council as they see the need for new park projects, outside
of expenditures within the General Fund. Park Dedication funds are needed for new park development, which
is the intended use of Park Dedication funds, as mandated by state statute. Park Dedication Fund projects are
presented through the Capital Improvement Plan. Revenues are generated from Park Dedication Fees charged
on new developments.
According to the 2021 Comprehensive Plan, when the entire city is built out, the City will have received
approximately $14.7 million dollars in Park Dedication funds, but all the planned infrastructures would cost
roughly $18.5 million dollars. This will happen over the next 20 to 30 years.
Current Park Dedication Fund Balance: $752,551
2023 Planned Park Dedication Allocations: $175,000 Hackamore Trail
$50,000 Medina Road Trail
$13,000 Townline Road Trail
$25,000 Medina Lake Preserve - clean-up woods
$25,000 Medina Lake Preserve – trail head & pavilion
$35,000 Chippewa Road – planning design
$ 1,000 Chippewa Road – nursery stock
$ 5,000 Shawnee Woods – entrance sign
Remaining balance after 2023 projects: $423,551
Municipal Park Fund
The Municipal Park Fund is to be used by the City Council as they see the need for park projects and
maintenance outside of expenditures within the General Fund and Park Dedication Fund. Municipal Park Fund
projects are primarily the replacement of existing park equipment and structures that do not qualify for the
Park Dedication Fund. Projects and replacements are presented through the Capital Improvement Plan.
Revenues are generated by taxes, grants and donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations.
In 2019, discussions and planning took place amongst staff, City Council, Park Commission, and community
outreach to establish a 30-year replacement plan. A levy implementation was passed for 2020 and onward to
fund ongoing replacements. The current levy contribution into this fund is $112,000 annually.
Agenda Item 9

Current Municipal Park Fund Balance: $437,218
2023 Planned Municipal Park Fund Projects: $ 30,000 Trail Replacement
$ 86,000 Clydesdale Trail
$100,000 Hunter Lions Park – tennis courts
$100,000 Lakeshore Park – redesign
$ 15,000 Medina Morningside – baseball backstop & benches
Remaining balance after 2023 projects: $106,218
Robert G Mitchell Jr Designated Beneficiary Fund
In 2019 Lucy Mitchell, wife of late Mayor Bob Mitchell, along with her family established the Robert G.
Mitchell, Jr. Fund of the Minneapolis Foundation with an initial gift of $250,000. This fund has been
established as a perpetual endowment from which the City of Medina can receive distributions for special
projects in support of improvements to the city’s parks, trail, and wetlands. The fund cannot be used to
support general operations and maintenance.
Current Beneficiary Fund Balance: $350,840
2023 Spendable / Available Funds $ 12,836

Walnut Park Basketball Hoop ‐ moved and reconditioned, fence Public Works 2022 2022 To call this a "Basketball court" is a misnomer. There is a small piece of blacktop. There is a hoop with a
net and a very small backboard. This abuts a ditch that currently has a lot of water in it but is almost
always full. This drainage could be improved. There is nothing stopping basketballs from rolling into this
ditch. This makes using this court impossible. There should be a fence both for safety and for use.
