There was a the draft Maple total of 16 direct comments. Additionally, four comments were Grove received by email and one comment from a vendor. State Departments UAS statute requires an opportunity for public comments on the Policy No. 606 Police Department’s policy prior to purchasing or using a UAS. The Police Department’s UAS start-up equipment is estimated at a cost of $2,500. The Police Department received a donation of $2,500 to fund the equipment purchase. The donation was accepted by the City Council on December 20, 2021. He commented further on how the department will utilize the UAS and requested the council accept the public comment on the draft policy. Mayor Steffenson asked if there were any comments from the public. Kristin Robbins, 7730 Zanzibar Lane N, noted she read the full policy last week. She explained she had concerns with the facial recognition technology and how it interfaces with state law. She encouraged the council to investigate this portion of the policy further. She stated she supported the use of the drones but wanted them to be used in the most narrow way. Councilmember Hanson reported the policy states the drone would be deployed without the use of facial recognition technology or biometric matching technology. (inaudible name), resident of Maple Grove, stated the issue with facial recognition was that artificial intelligence does not have the same capabilities as people. He explained that artificial intelligence does not have the same red, green and blue color values for faces, especially faces of color. He indicated this could lead to misidentifying suspects for the police. He recommended that facial recognition only be used if the results were properly reviewed by the police. He suggested the police reconsider the data retention policy and stated he supported data being retained for more than seven days. Commander Lindquist explained the policy prohibits the use of facial recognition without a warrant. Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 11 Mayor Steffenson asked if the drone that was being purchased would have facial recognition capabilities. Commander Lindquist stated the drone that would be purchased would not. He indicated the drone being recommended for purchase was for indoor purposes only. Councilmember Barnett questioned why the Police Department was not proposing to purchase a drone that can be used indoors and outdoors. Commander Lindquist explained this was due to budgetary purposes. He reported the department received a donation for a drone back in December from the Northwest Area Jaycees and that funding would be used to purchase the proposed drone. Councilmember Barnett inquired if the department should be saving this donation and seeking others in order to be able to afford the type of drone the department really needs. Commander Lindquist stated this could be discussed, but noted a UAS policy has to be approved prior to any drone being purchased. Mayor Steffenson requested Commander Lindquist speak to the data retention concerns. Commander Lindquist noted the data retention requirements are driven by state statute. City Attorney Templin reported state statute was very clear about what cities can and cannot do when it comes to data retention. Councilmember Barnett asked how many times the city has called on other agencies for drone assistance. Commander Lindquist stated he did not have an exact number but noted Hennepin County and the Plymouth Police Department drones have been called in to help with missing vulnerable adults or autistic children. Councilmember Barnett questioned if the city’s drone would be offered for use to other cities. Commander Lindquist discussed how mutual aid requests would be handled and explained all data gathered would be stored per state statute. Police Chief Werner discussed the process that must be followed for public comment. Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 12 Motion by Councilmember Barnett, seconded by Councilmember Hanson, to accept public comment on the Police Department’s draft policy for the use of Unmanned Aerial System.

Community and economic development items Dental Specialists Associate Planner Corrow explained the applicant seeks a planned unit concept stage plan amendment and PUD development stage development plan approval for the purpose of constructing a 6,600 sq. ft. concept stage medical building that will provide dental services. The building plan amendment is proposed on the last remaining undeveloped parcel in The and development Village at The Grove development and is located at the stage plan southeast corner of Hospital Drive and Grove Circle North. The original concept plan identifies a 5,400 square foot retail building at this location so an amendment is necessary to allow for the larger building. Engineering staff determined the slightly larger dental clinic would generate comparable traffic levels to the original approved use and did not feel a revised traffic study was necessary. He discussed the tree requirements for the site. Staff commented further on the request and reported the Planning Commission recommends approval. Councilmember Jaeger asked if the site was adequately parked. Associate Planner Corrow reported the site was adequately parked. Councilmember Jaeger encouraged the applicant to consider adding more disability parking. Eric Reiners, SRA representative, stated he was happy to be leading the design team for this project. He indicated he has been working with Park Dental Group for some time now and noted this facility would specialize in pediatric, orthodontic, endodontic and surgery. He thanked staff for all of their assistance on this project and noted he was available for comments or questions. Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 13 Councilmember Hanson asked if the applicant was willing to follow staff’s recommendation regarding the trees. Mr. Reiners noted he stopped short of the requirement because some of the trees were planted when the site was developed and were semi-mature. He indicated he would like to have safe visibility to the building. He commented if the city wants more trees he would be more than willing to work with staff to address this matter. Motion by Councilmember Jaeger, seconded by Councilmember Barnett, to adopt Resolution No. 22-113 approving the Dental Specialists PUD concept stage plan amendment and development stage plan subject to: 1. The applicant addressing to the satisfaction of the city any remaining applicable comments contained in the memorandums from: a. The Community & Economic Development Department dated June 7, 2022 b. The Water Resources Engineer dated May 17, 2022 c. The Engineering Department dated May 23, 2022 d. The Fire Department dated May 20, 2022 2. Planned unit development agreement final review and approval of the City Attorney and the Director of Community and Economic Development. 3. To follow the recommendations of the June 7, 2022 Community Development memo and the recommendations of the Arbor Committee regarding trees on the site. Upon call of the motion by Mayor Steffenson, there were five ayes and no nays. Motion carried. Tricare 55+ Planning Manager Vickerman explained the applicant is Affordable requesting a planned unit development, development stage Housing planned plan and final plat to build a four-story, 160-unit, affordable unit 55+ apartment building. The site received concept plan development approval on January 3, 2022 for 152 units. Since the stage plan and development stage plan is within 10% of the approved concept final plat plan, it is deemed consistent with the approved concept plan. Staff notes that the development stage plan is almost identical Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 14 to the approved concept plan, just with more details. There is an outlot north of this site that continues to be planned for an office use. The applicant is proposing rents that would affordable to people with incomes at 60% of the area median income. Garland Lane North is currently being constructed through the Tricare property and this site is on the west side of Garland Lane North, adjacent to the large wetland to the west and north of Biolife. Staff commented further on the request and reported the Planning Commission recommends approval. Councilmember Hanson asked if a tot lot would be included in the plans. Planning Manager Vickerman reported the developer did not show this on the plan. He recommended the developer speak to this matter further. Councilmember Jaeger inquired if the developer would be installing any charging stations. Planning Manager Vickerman stated he did not believe the plans had any charging stations. Chris Stokka, MWF Properties, stated he primarily completes family housing and tot lots are included, however with this development the preference would be to preserve greenspace in lieu of a tot lot that would not be utilized that much. He noted he was not seeing a high demand for charging stations at his other properties, but the infrastructure was in place if they needed to be added in the future. Mayor Steffenson stated it made sense to rough them in during construction. Councilmember Hanson explained she was pushing for a tot lot due to the location of this development. Councilmember Jaeger asked how many underground parking spaces would be available within this development. Mr. Stokka stated he would have just over a 1:1 ratio for the first-come, first-served underground parking. He noted the site would also have surface parking. Councilmember Barnett indicated she supported this property having a tot lot because this was a commercial area that did not have any close parks. Mayor Steffenson explained he believed it made sense to add Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 15 a small tot lot to this project given the fact there were no parks in the area. Councilmember Leith supported this recommendation because this would serve grandparents who are watching or visiting with their grandkids. Motion by Mayor Steffenson, seconded by Councilmember Jaeger, to adopt Resolution No. 22-114 approving the Tricare Senior Affordable Housing PUD development stage plan and final plat subject to: 1. The applicant addressing to the satisfaction of the city any remaining applicable comments contained in the memorandums from: a. The Community & Economic Development Department dated June 7, 2022 b. The Engineering Department dated June 13, 2022 c. The Fire Department dated May 24, 2022 d. The Parks & Recreation Department, dated June 2, 2022 2. Planned unit development agreement final review and approval of the City Attorney and the Director of Community and Economic Development. 3.

Board meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month. Upon call of the motion by Mayor Steffenson, there were five ayes and no nays. Motion carried. Territorial Road Eric Zweber, WSB and Associates, stated over the past nine master plan months, city staff, as well as staff from WSB and Associates have been performing a land use study for the Territorial Road area, bordered by County Road 81 to the south and west, Fernbrook land to east, and the City of Dayton to the north. Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 16 The purpose of the study is to develop a small area land use plan that guides land use for future development, sets the location and scope of a future city park, and addresses future and trail alignment in the area. The Territorial Road master plan has been produced that outlines the highlights of the planning process, and provides groundwork for future development of the area. The City Council, Planning Commission, and Parks and Recreation Board recently held a joint work session to discuss various elements of that plan. The plan identifies concepts and feedback generated at that meeting. If approved, the Territorial Road master plan will guide development in the area for the next 20 to 30 years. He commented on the community engagement, Surveymonkey surveys and meetings that were held this spring to gather public comment and reported the Park Board and Planning Commission recommends approval of the Territorial Road master plan. Councilmember Jaeger questioned why one Planning Commissioner opposed the master plan. Mr. Zweber stated this was due to the disadvantages this member found with park option A. Councilmember Jaeger asked if staff was having discussions with Three Rivers Park about this new park. Mr. Zweber reported staff was having discussions with Three Rivers Park, noting his team has been hired to complete a feasibility study for the trail. Councilmember Jaeger asked if the access to County Road 81 at Ranchview Lane was closed. Public Works Director/City Engineer Ashfeld stated Ranchview Lane was currently closed and this may be permanent. He noted the city would be collaborating with Hennepin County in order to complete an access study for County Road 81. Councilmember Jaeger questioned what would happen to the land between County Road 81 and Territorial Road. Mr. Zweber reported this land was designated as medium density residential. However, staff has heard from a number of surrounding land owners and they would like this land to remain single-family residential. Maple Grove City Council minutes June 20, 2022 Page 17 Motion by Councilmember Hanson, seconded by Councilmember Barnett, to approve the Territorial Road master plan. Upon call of the motion by Mayor Steffenson, there were five ayes and no nays. Motion carried.
