Planning Manager Zimmerman discussed the staff report, history of zoning in the area, and the

Mayor Harris opened the public hearing.
Laura Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, stated her opposition to the proposed change and discussed
traffic and safety concerns especially for children.
Mark Friederichs, 7501 Western Avenue, disputed the results of the traffic study and stated he
collected signatures from residents in the area that are opposed to the proposed change.
Ruth Paradise, 8515 Duluth Street, spoke in favor of the proposed change, the 2040
Comprehensive Plan, and creating more housing opportunities in the City.
8
Curtis McDougall, 7420 Ridgeway Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed change mainly due
to traffic concerns and the residential features of the neighborhood.
Brian Li, 406 Rhode Island Avenue, stated the proposed change is detrimental to the
neighborhood and that he is opposed.
Jason Stevens, 404 Rhode Island Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed R-3 zoning of the
area due to the removal of trees, unhealthy levels of congestion, traffic concerns, reduced
property values, and the negative impact their property values.
Aaron Matuseski, 407 Rhode Island Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed change since it
would be detrimental the character of the neighborhood.
Andy Johnson, 7645 Harold Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed change due to the
potential unintended consequences that could arise like blocking sunlight for current residents in
the neighborhood and that the Comprehensive Plan can be changed by the Council.
Scott Nelson, 65 Quebec Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed change and that he
doesn’t see the need or reasoning for this particular proposal.
Deb Bushway, 7310 Ridgeway Road, stated she is opposed to the proposed R-3 zoning but would
be open to R-2 zoning in the area to be able to add more housing in Golden Valley.
Les Heller, 7525 Harold Avenue, stated his opposition and does not see the value in the proposed
change, and feels like people are being pushed out of the community.
Deborah Stone, 7621 Harold Avenue, stated her opposition and spoke about the emotional part
of proposed changes like this that irrevocably change neighborhoods.
Tina Prokosch, 7601 Harold Avenue, stated her opposition to the proposed change due to traffic,
parking lots, and tree removal.
Marie Mathay, 7801 Western Avenue, stated she is passionate about where she lives and does
not support the proposed change.
Mary Munsterteiger, realtor for the couple that bought 7710 Harold Avenue approximately one
year ago, she stated that the proposed change will devaluate their property and the area.
Adam Moench, 7710 Harold Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed change and would
hate to leave Golden Valley because of a major change to the character of the neighborhood.
Josh Awend, 7210 Harold Avenue, stated his opposition to the proposed R-3 zoning change in this
particular area.
9
Jenikka Tomasheck, 7182 Harold Avenue, disputed the speed results from the traffic study and
stated her opposition to the proposed change.
Bridget Bender, 7631 Harold Avenue, stated her concerns about adding density and putting more
demand on an already strained public safety system and doesn’t think housing should be the
City’s number one priority.
Mayor Harris closed the public hearing.
Planning Manager Zimmerman responded to questions, concerns, and statements made during
the public hearing regarding tree cover, the traffic study including speed and traffic, density,
retail in R-3 zoning, comparisons to other developments in the City, and the purpose of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Council Member Rosenquist asked if all properties listed on the proposed ordinance need to be
rezoned R-3 or if the Council could amend the ordinance and choose to only rezone some of the
properties that have been proposed.
Planning Manager Zimmerman responded that he had a conversation with the Met Council about
this question and if the City Council believes there is not a good reason to rezone the entire area
at this time, the ordinance could be amended to set aside certain properties. If the City Council
chooses to amend the ordinance, they should also make a finding that the decision on certain
properties is premature for a rezoning to Medium Density Residential (R-3) at this time.
Mayor Harris thanked members of the community for their comments and civility on such a
personal issue to many residents.
Council Member Sanberg stated that neighborhood impact is important but so is the overall
housing situation in Golden Valley. She added that a voice we don’t hear from in this
conversation is that of renters or people who want to live in Golden Valley but don’t have any
opportunities to do so.
Council Member La Mere-Anderson stated she understood the concerns of the neighborhood
but reassured residents that there are no current development plans despite the rumors
circulating. The only decision at this time is whether or not to rezone the area.
Council Member Rosenquist stated that traffic, pedestrian, and bike safety is one of the Council’s
top five goals in 2023 so it is something that Council and staff are working on to create
improvements. She added that she particularly appreciated the comments from the residents of
Rhode Island Avenue because a lot of the same comments and concerns stated at tonight’s public
hearing were also made when the homes on Rhode Island Avenue were proposed but the
neighborhood adapted over time. She further stated that the rezoning question for this particular
area has been booted about for over 10 years so maybe that is reason to only rezone a portion of
the properties that are proposed.
10
Council Member Rosenquist stated she would like to amend the ordinance so that only the six
properties on the western half of the proposed area would be rezoned to R-3.
Council Member La Mere-Anderson stated she is not in support of any changes to the zoning of
this area.
Council Member Sanberg stated she is in favor of the rezoning the six properties on the western
half of the proposed area. She added that it is a more phased-in approach and takes into account
the concerns of the neighborhood.
Council Member Harris agreed with rezoning the six properties on the western half of the
proposed area. He added that this compromise allows the City to add housing that is needed.
Golden Valley is an evolving, changing community that has housing needs and this amended
ordinance finds that balance.
Mayor Harris agreed with Council Members Rosenquist, Sanberg, and Harris and stated that he
supports rezoning the six properties on the western half of the proposed area.
Motion by Rosenquist, Second by Sanberg to approve Ordinance No. 759 Amending the City
Code Chapter 113 - Rezoning Properties at Harold Ave, Winnetka Ave N, and Highway 55 to
Achieve Conformance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan with the following amendments to the
ordinance:
Section 1 should only include the properties at 7831 Olson Memorial Highway, 440
Winnetka Ave N, 424 Winnetka Ave N, 400 Winnetka Ave N, 7840 Harold Ave, and 7830
Harold Ave; and
Include the following findings for partial rezoning:
“In order to facilitate planned, orderly, and staged redevelopment along the western
portion of Harold Avenue, the properties at 411 Rhode Island Avenue North and 7710,
7724, and 7732 Harold Avenue are determined to be premature for a rezoning to
Medium Density Residential (R-3) at this time.
Further residential and commercial redevelopment within the downtown and the
introduction of Bus Rapid Transit along Highway 55 may be sufficient conditions to
consider the rezoning of these remaining four properties. In order to facilitate planned,
orderly, and staged redevelopment along the western portion of Harold Avenue, the
properties at 411 Rhode Island Avenue North and 7710, 7724, and 7732 Harold Avenue
are determined to be premature for a rezoning to Medium Density Residential (R-3) at
this time.”
Motion carried 4-1.(In Favor: M. Harris, S. Harris, Rosenquist, Sanberg. Opposed: La Mere-
Anderson)

4 City of Golden Valley
In 2022, the Golden Valley Planning Commission worked closely with staff to review proposals for private de-
velopment as well as to develop new zoning regulations that expanded the variety of housing types available
to residents. The Commission also amended other language in the Zoning Chapter in an effort to continue to
modernize the City Code and improve accessibility for the public.
This included:
• providing review for major amendments to three
existing Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)—
Meadowbrook Elementary, Central Park West,
and the McDonald’s on Winnetka Ave
• approving two new conditional use permits—
one for a credit union and the other for a Tesla
dealership—and denying a proposed amend-
ment to a third conditional use permit
• recommending approval of a residential subdivi-
sion and a lot combination that involved vacated
City right-of-way
• drafting rules authorizing a new outdoor service
area use that allowed Schuller’s Tavern to obtain
a permit to establish a seasonal outdoor patio

2022 OVERVIEW
The Commission also:
• completed a small number of rezonings and
land use changes as the alignment of the
zoning map with the future land use map in the
City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan was realized
• researched and advanced zoning text amend-
ments to the City Council for consideration,
including revisions to the regulations and
permitting processes around mobile vending
and improved requirements for screening and
outdoor storage
• spent a considerable amount of time carefully
developing new zoning language that would
allow construction of Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) while drafting restrictions that would
limit potential impacts to adjacent properties
• began the investigation of needed updates to
the off-street parking section of Code
In 2023, the Commission will look to:
• complete its work on off-street parking and
recommend new language for the City Council
to consider
• modernize the telecommunication rules for
small cell antennas
• change how site plan review is carried out for
development projects
• propose improvements to the public amenity
point system for Planned Unit Developments
Staff will continue to conduct education and
training for Commissioners around racial equity in
planning and zoning in coordination with the state
planning chapter.

PURPOSE, MISSION,
& PRESCRIBED DUTIES
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hears requests for variances from the requirements of
the Zoning Code, which is Chapter 113 of the Golden Valley City Code. The BZA consists
of five members that meet once a month if there are any petitions pending for action. A
Planning Commissioner serves as the fifth member of the BZA.
CRITERIA FOR ANALYSIS
A variance may be granted when the petitioner for the variance establishes that there
are practical difficulties in complying with this Chapter. “Practical difficulties,” as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means:
• the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by this Chapter
• the plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the property owner
• the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical
difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar
energy systems. The BZA may not grant a variance that would allow any use not allowed
for property in the Zoning District where the affected person’s land is located. The BZA
may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be directly related
to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance.

Tim Kieffer, Public Works Director
Al Lundstrom, Park Maintenance Superintendent

Summary
The City contracts for tree trimming and removal when city staff is unable to perform the work due to
hazardous conditions, scope of work is beyond staff’s capabilities, or specialized equipment is
required. The current contract approved by Council on December 6, 2022, was terminated because
the contractor couldn’t fulfill the terms of the agreement. Therefore, staff proposes to award the
contract to the second lowest quote, which is $103,525 from Bratt Tree Company.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The 2023 Forestry operating budget (1646.6440) includes $110,000 for tree trimming and removals.
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the contract.
Equity Considerations
Staff solicited quotes from sixty-seven professional tree contractors, including fifty-three
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises using the Minnesota Unified Certification Program database.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a contract for tree trimming and removal
with Bratt Tree Company in the form approved by the City Attorney.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting

Agenda Item
3E.2. Award Contract for 2023 Crack Sealing Project #23-05 to Allied Blacktop Company
Prepared By
RJ Kakach, Assistant City Engineer
Tim Kieffer, Public Works Director
Summary
The City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) addresses the needs of the City’s streets. The
program includes asphalt maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Through this program,
timely and cost-effective measures are taken to construct and extend pavement life.
As asphalt pavement ages, it is subject to the weathering effects of water, air, cold winters, and hot
summers. As pavement naturally expands and contracts through the seasons, it forms thermal cracks
that extend from one edge of the street to the other.
Crack sealing is a maintenance effort in which an elastic polymeric material is placed inside of the
pavement cracks. This is done to prevent water seepage into the pavement and subgrade and in turn
substantially extends the life of the pavement. Crack sealant lasts approximately 2-5 years. The City’s
2023 Crack Sealing Project will be located in Maintenance Zone 2, as shown on the attached map.
Quotes for the 2023 Crack Sealing Project City Improvement Project 23-05 were received on March 7,
2023 and are listed below:
Allied Blacktop Company $65,700
SealTech, Inc.$65,800
Northwest Asphalt and Maintenace $75,700
Fahrner Asphalt Sealers $98,200
American Pavement Solutions $112,500
Staff has reviewed the quotes and found them to be accurate and in order.
Financial or Budget Considerations
Funding for this project is in the 2023 Street Maintenance Budget (1440.6440) which includes
$220,500 for miscellaneous contractual street maintenance such as striping, concrete shaving,
pavement preservation and crack sealing.
69
Legal Considerations
The contract template has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Equity Considerations
The project was advertised to numerous different companies to give all an equal opportunity to
provide a quote for the project.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a construction agreement with Allied
Blacktop Company in the form approved by the City Attorney for the 2023 Crack Sealing Project #23-05
in the amount of $65,700.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
The Work will consist of sawing or routing, measuring, cleaning and sealing cracks in the existing bituminous
pavement. Contractor shall provide certification that the sealant meets the requirements of MNDOT Standard
Specification 3723. The crack sealant compound shall be packaged in sealed containers. Each container shall be
clearly marked with the name of the manufacturer, the trade name of the sealant, the manufacturer’s batch and
lot number, the pouring temperature, and the safe heating temperature. A copy of the manufacturer’s
recommendations pertaining to the heating and application of the joint sealant material shall be submitted to the
Engineer prior to commencement of work. These recommendations shall be adhered to and followed by
Contractor.
The temperature of the sealer in the field application equipment shall never exceed the safe heating temperature
recommended by the manufacturer. Any given quantity of material shall not be heated at the pouring
temperature for more than six (6) hours and shall never be reheated. Sealing shall not proceed if the temperature
of the material has not reached or has fallen below the manufacturer’s recommended minimum application
temperature.
Mixing of different manufacturer’s brands or different types of sealant shall be prohibited.
The “Blow & Go” installation method will be used when cracks fit one or more of the following criteria:
a. Crack is in a roadway that has previously received a chip seal
b. Crack has previously been crack sealed and the existing crack seal has failed.
The Location Map, herein Exhibit A, identifies roadways to be cracked sealed as part of the project. The Location
Map does not identify roadways that have previously received sealcoat or crack seal treatments. If existing crack
sealing material in these areas is still in satisfactory condition, those cracks shall not be resealed.
Roadways that have previously been sealcoated, shall utilize the “Blow & Go” method. Cracks identified as "Blow
& Go" shall be cleaned of all weeds, debris, and dirt by Contractor prior to sealing.
The “Saw/Route & Seal” installation method will be used when cracks are present in a pavement that has not
been previously chip sealed or crack sealed, as shown in Exhibit A.
All cracks to be sawn/routed, measured, cleaned and sealed ¾ inch wide by a depth of ¾ inch shall be approved
by the Engineer. The sawing/routing, cleaning and sealing shall extend the full width of the surface, including
shoulders where necessary.
Contractor shall conduct their operation so that sawing/routing, cleaning and sealing is a continuous operation.
Traffic shall not be allowed to knead together or damage the reservoir once it has been created. Sawn/routed
cracks not sealed before traffic is allowed on the surface shall be re-sawed/re-routed at no additional cost to the
City.
The sawing/routing equipment shall be mechanical and power driven, capable of following and cutting the cracks
to the required dimensions without deviation from the crack or creating excessive spalling. Equipment designed
to “plow” the cracks to dimension will not be permitted. Wet sawing will not be allowed.
81
Immediately prior to sealing, the crack and surface area six (6) inches on both sides shall be cleaned of for eign
matter and loosened particles with a broom or oil-free compressed air. The crack and surface area six (6) inches
on both sides will then be cleaned and dried with a hot compressed air heat lance. The heat lance shall meet the
following requirements: temperature of heated air at exit of orifice minimum of 280° F, velocity of existing heated
air minimum of 2,800 fps.
Contractor shall take caution to keep all sawing/routing and cleaning debris off of the boulevards and contained
to gutter areas. The City will furnish a street sweeper and operator to work in tandem with Contractor’s
sawing/routing crew maintaining a smooth cleanup operation. The application time and final results of the
cleaning area are subject to the Engineer’s approval. The sealant must also be squeegeed to ensure proper
overbanding. Sealant shall overfill the crack and extend a minimum of ½ inch on either side of the crack. If the
sawing/routing process results in spalled or rough edges, the Engineer may require the material to be pour ed,
flushed and squeegeed to fill in the rough edges. The applicator wands shall be returned to the machine and the
joint sealant material recirculated immediately upon completion of each crack. Pour pots or similar devices shall
not be used to apply the sealer. Lanes may be opened to traffic only after the sealer has set sufficiently so it will
not pick up under traffic. Cover material shall be spread on top of the sealant while still hot. Traffic shall not be
allowed on the material until it is cured or it has been blotted to prevent tracking. The use of blotting material
such as toilet paper will be permitted. Sand or fine aggregate shall not be used as cover material. Sealant material
picked up or pulled out during construction shall be replaced at Contractor’s expense.
Sealant materials may be placed during a period of rising temperature after the air temperature in the shade and
away from artificial heat has reached 50° F and indications are for a continued rise in temperature.
During a period of falling temperature, the placement of sealant material shall be suspended when the air
temperature, in the shade and away from artificial heat, reaches 30° F. Sealant shall not be placed when in the
opinion of the Engineer the weather or roadbed conditions are unfavorable. Sawing/routing and sealing will be
permitted only during daylight hours.

Agenda Item
3E.4. Award Construction Contract for 2023 Fog Sealing Project #23-10 to Allied Blacktop Company
Prepared By
RJ Kakach, Assistant City Engineer
Jeff Oliver, City Engineer
Summary
In 2012, the City of Golden Valley suspended all chip seal projects in Golden Valley as evidence of
pavement delamination on chip sealed streets became more evident. Chip sealing is a pavement
preservation process in which small granite rocks are spread over an asphalt emulsifier to seal the
pavement and postpone future deterioration. In an effort to continue to preserve our asphalt
pavements, staff has begun various pilot projects using newer technologies to determine the most
cost-effective long-term solution to pavement preservation.
One such alternative is a fog seal. An asphalt pavement fog seal consists of a light application of
diluted, slow setting asphalt emulsion or rejuvenator, similar to a chip seal, but does not use an
aggregate cover. Studies have shown that application of pavement preservation products on newer
streets tends to last longer than preservatives on older pavement. The inaugural Golden Valley fog
seal project was performed in 2019 on the 2017 PMP area, located just north of Lakeview Park. The
results over the past few seasons led to an expanded project and 2022 and the 2023 project also
includes a lager area for treatment. The 2023 Asphalt Pavement Fog Sealing Project is located in the
following neighborhoods:
2021 PMP
Breck School
Bassett Creek Neighborhood
All of these neighborhoods were recently reconstructed or overlaid, which makes them good
candidates for a fog seal rejuvenation. Quotes for the 2023 Asphalt Pavement Fog Sealing Project, City
Improvement Project No. 23-10 were requested and received on February 24, 2023. The following
quote was received:
Allied Blacktop Company $72,134.80
The quote was reviewed and found to be accurate and in order.
108
Financial or Budget Considerations
Funding for this project is in the 2023 Street Maintenance Budget (1440.6440) which includes
$220,500 for miscellaneous contractual street maintenance such as striping, concrete shaving,
pavement preservation and crack sealing.
Legal Considerations
The contract template has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Equity Considerations
The project was advertised to numerous different companies to give all an equal opportunity to
provide a quote for the project.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a construction agreement with Allied
Blacktop Company in the form approved by the City Attorney for the 2023 Fog Sealing Project #23-10
in the amount of $72,134.80.

13. Amendments. No amendments may be made to this Agreement except in a writing signed by
both parties.
14. Remedies. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by the City because of a breach by
Contractor, the City may complete the Work either by itself or by contract with other persons or entities,
or any combination thereof. These remedies provided to the City for breach of this Agreement by

equitable remedies available because of Contractor’s breach.

or character; damages; losses; and costs, disbursements, and expenses of defending the same, including but
not limited to attorneys’ fees, professional services, and other technical, administrative or professional
assistance resulting from or arising out of Contractor’s (or its subcontractors, agents, volunteers, members,

Agreement, or caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct by Contractor,
or arising out of Contractor’s failure to obtain or maintain the insurance required by this Agreement.

Golden Valley is named as an additional insured with respect to the commercial general liability, business
automobile liability and umbrella or excess liability, as required by the contract. The umbrella or excess
liability policy follows form on all underlying coverages.” Such certificate of liability insurance shall list the
City as an additional insured and contain a statement that such policies of insurance shall not be canceled
or amended unless 30 days’ written notice is provided to the City, or 10 days’ written notice in the case
of non-payment.
18. Compliance with State Withholding Tax. Before final payment is made for the Work on this
project, Contractor must make a satisfactory showing that it has complied with the provisions of
Minnesota Statutes, section 290.92 requiring the withholding of State Income Tax for wages paid
employees on this project by providing to the City Engineer a Certificate of Compliance from the
Commissioner of Taxation. Contractor is advised that before such Certificate can be issued, Contractor

Contractor has complied with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 290.92.

deliver to the City a certified or cashier’s check in a form acceptable to the City, in the sum of five (5)
percent of the total amount of the base proposal payable to the City as a guaranty that the Contractor
will complete the Work. Said securities shall secure the faithful performance of the Contract by the
Contractor and shall be conditioned as required by law. This Agreement shall not become effective unless
and until said bonds have been received and approved by the City.
20. Assignment. Neither the City nor Contractor shall assign this Agreement or any rights under or
interest in this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent. Any
assignment in violation of this provision is null and void. Neither the City nor Contractor shall assign, or
transfer any rights under or interest (including, but without limitation, moneys that may become due or
moneys that are due) in the Agreement without the written consent of the other except to the extent that
the effect of this limitation may be restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any
117
6
written consent to an assignment, no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or
responsibility under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall prevent Contractor from
employing such independent consultants, associates, and subcontractors, as it may deem appropriate to
assist it in the performance of the Work required by this Agreement. Any instrument in violation of this
provision is null and void.

control the manner in which the Work is performed; however, the nature of the Work and the results to
be achieved shall be specified by the City. The parties agree that this is not a joint venture and the parties
are not co-partners. Contractor is not an employee or agent of the City and has no authority to make any
binding commitments or obligations on behalf of the City except to the extent expressly provided in this
Agreement. All Work provided by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be provided by Contractor
as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the City for any purpose, including but not limited
to: income tax withholding, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, FICA taxes, liability
for torts and eligibility for employee benefits.

federal, state and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the Effective Date.

alcohol use as defined on the City’s Tobacco, Drug, and Alcohol Policy, as well as all other reasonable work
rules, safety rules, or policies, and procedures regulating the conduct of persons on City property, at all
times while performing duties pursuant to this Agreement. Contractor agrees and understands that a
violation of any of these policies, procedures, or rules constitutes a breach of the Agreement and sufficient
grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement by the City.
23. Entire Agreement. The Contract Documents shall constitute the entire agreement between the
City and Contractor, and supersede any other written or oral agreements between the City and
Contractor.
24. Third Party Rights. The parties to this Agreement do not intend to confer any rights under this
Agreement on any third party.
25. Choice of Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the state of Minnesota. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of this Agreement

Agreement waive any objection to the jurisdiction of these courts, whether based on convenience or
otherwise.

products, including, but not limited to the completed reports, drawings, plans, and specifications prepared
and developed in connection with the provision of the Work pursuant to this Agreement shall become the
property of the City, but reproductions of such records, information, materials and other work products
in whole or in part may be retained by Contractor. Regardless of when such information was provided,
Contractor agrees that it will not disclose for any purpose any information Contractor has obtained arising
118
7
out of or related to this Agreement, except as authorized by the City or as required by law. These
obligations survive the termination of this Agreement.
27. Conflict of Interest. Contractor shall use reasonable care to avoid conflicts of interest and
appearances of impropriety in representation of the City. In the event of a conflict of interest, Contractor
shall advise the City and, either secure a waiver of the conflict, or advise the City that it will be unable to
provide the requested Work.
28. Agreement Not Exclusive. The City retains the right to hire other professionals, contractors and
service providers for this or other matters, in the City’s sole discretion.
29. Data Practices Act Compliance. Any and all data provided to Contractor, received from Contractor,

Agreement shall be administered in accordance with, and is subject to the requirements of the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13. Contractor agrees to notify the City within
three business days if it receives a data request from a third party. This paragraph does not create a duty

Agreement on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, status
with regard to public assistance, or religion. Violation of any part of this provision may lead to immediate

33. Waiver. No waiver of any provision or of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver

34. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall in no way define, limit or affect the scope and intent of this Agreement.
35. Payment of Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to pay all laborers employed and all
subcontractors furnishing material to Contractor in the performance of this contract. If Contractor fails to
pay any claims and demands for labor and materials, the City may apply the monies due to Contractor
toward paying and satisfying such claims and demands. The City has the right to apply monies due to
Contractor towards paying any accrued indebtedness or any claim which may hereafter come due against
Contractor. The amount of such payments shall be deducted from the balance due to the Contractor;
provided that nothing herein nor any variation from the amounts and timing of the installments shall be
construed as impairing the right of the City or of those to whose benefit the bond herein agreed upon
shall insure, to hold Contractor or surety liable on the bond for any breach of the conditions of the same
nor as imposing upon the City any obligation to laborers, materialmen, contractors, or sureties to pay or
to retain for their benefit any monies coming to the contractor hereunder.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.425, Subdivision 4(a), Contractor must pay any
subcontractor within ten (10) days of Contractor’s receipt of payment from the City for undisputed

A. Award Construction Contract to Northwest Asphalt
B. Award Contract for Construction Engineering Services to Short Elliott Hendrickson, Incorporated
Prepared By
RJ Kakach, Assistant City Engineer
Jeff Oliver, City Engineer
Summary
Award Construction Contract
Bids for the 2023 Pavement Management Program (PMP) City Improvement Project 23-01 were
opened virtually on January 31, 2023. The following bids were received:
Low Bid Total (Base + Alt A): Northwest Asphalt $6,201,804.24
Staff reviewed the bids and found them to be accurate and in order. Staff recommends awarding the
Contract to Northwest Asphalt for all work associated with the Base Bid and Alternate Bid A: Sanitary
Sewer Main Lining.
Construction Observation and Engineering Services
In addition to the construction contract, there are additional contracts associated with the project that
Council should be aware of. First, staff has received a proposal from the consulting engineering firm of
Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH), dated February 9, 2023 for construction staking and observation
for the 2023 PMP. The construction staking includes all survey work during construction, record
drawing survey, and drawing preparation following construction. Construction observation for this
project will be performed by both City and SEH staff. The proposal includes a not-to-exceed amount of
$253,400, a portion of which will be financed from the street reconstruction portion of the project.
131
Secondly, design services for the PMP, which included preparation of the plans and specifications for
the project, were also provided by SEH with a contract total not to exceed $418,100, and approved at
the September 9, 2021 City Council meeting.
The special assessment hearing for the project will be held May 2, 2023 with the anticipated
assessment amount, based off of the bids received, being $10,201. Notice of the hearing will be
advertised in the paper and mailed to the affected residents in April.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The financing for the construction contract is summarized as follows:
The bid for street reconstruction totals $3,469,531.73 and is within the $3,950,000 included in the
Street 2023 CIP (S-001) for the project. This amount does not include indirect costs associated with the
improvement.
The total bid for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements is $1,636,842.17. This is not within the
$1,300,000 included in the Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility 2023 CIP (W&SS-001) for this project and
therefore additional funding from the Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility 2023 CIP will be used to cover
the overage. This amount does not include indirect costs associated with the improvement
The total bid for storm sewer improvements is $1,095,430.34 and is within the $1,250,000 included in
the Storm Sewer 2023 CIP (SS-01) for this project. This amount does not include indirect costs
associated with the improvement.
It is expected that construction will begin as weather permits in April 2023 and be completed in the
fall.
Legal Considerations
The contract with Northwest Asphalt and the professional services agreement with SEH were created
from contract templates reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
Equity Considerations
The purpose of the Pavement Management Program is to provide high quality, cost effective streets in
Golden Valley. Full street reconstruction has occurred in nearly every neighborhood since 1995, and
by the end of 2024, all neighborhoods will have been fully reconstructed.
Recommended Action
A. Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a construction agreement with
Northwest Asphalt in the form approved by the City Attorney for the 2023 Pavement
Management Project #23-01 in the amount of $6,201,804.24.
B. Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a professional services agreement
with Short Elliott Hendrickson, Incorporated in the form approved by the City Attorney for the
observation, construction staking, and engineering services on the 2023 PMP, for an amount not
to exceed $253,400.

Dear Mr. Oliver:
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City of Golden Valley in providing professional engineering
services for the reconstruction of streets in the 2023 Pavement Management Program (PMP) project
area. Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH®) has recently completed final design services and the City is
requesting a scope of work for construction services. This letter serves as the Scope of Services for the
Agreement for Professional Services for the 2023 Pavement Management Program Project between the
City of Golden Valley and SEH.
BACKGROUND
The City of Golden Valley proposes to reconstruct approximately 1.27 miles of residential streets in the
northwest corner of the City. The project is generally bounded by Wisconsin Avenue North on the west,
Winnetka Avenue North (County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 156) on the east, 23rd Avenue North on the
south, and Medicine Lake Road (CSAH 70) on the north.
The following streets are included in the project:
· 23rd Avenue North: Xylon Avenue North to Winnetka Avenue North
· Wynnwood Road: Valders Avenue North to Orkla Drive
· Jonellen Lane: Bies Drive to Valders Avenue North
· 25th Avenue North: Orkla Drive to Valders Avenue North
· Wisconsin Avenue North: 23rd Avenue North to Orkla Drive
· Orkla Drive: Wynnwood Road to Medicine Lake Road
· Bies Drive: Wynnwood Road to 25th Avenue North
· Valders Avenue North: 23rd Avenue North to Wynnwood Road
· Valders Avenue North: Jonellen Lane to 25th Avenue North
The proposed improvements include water main and storm sewer replacement, construction of an iron-
enhanced filtration basin, sanitary sewer repairs, construction of concrete curb and gutter, concrete
median construction, pedestrian ramp reconstruction, and street reconstruction.
146
Mr. Jeff Oliver

Construction services for the 2023 PMP include construction staking, providing a Resident Project
Representative (RPR), and limited construction observation as described below. We understand the City
will be providing overall construction administration on this project.
SCOPE OF WORK
Construction Staking
SEH will provide a survey crew to perform construction staking for the proposed improvements within the
proposed project area. Staking tasks for this project will include placement of horizontal and vertical
control, utility staking for private utilities, water main stakes, sanitary sewer manhole stakes, storm sewer
stakes, filtration basin stakes, curb and gutter stakes, blue tops after curb is in place, concrete median
and pedestrian ramp stakes, and survey truck/equipment expenses. All survey coordination for
construction staking and observation will be between the survey crew chief and the City.
Resident Project Representative
The Resident Project Representative (RPR) is the Engineer’s agent at the site and will act as directed by
and under supervision of the Engineer. The RPR shall serve as the liaison with the contractor, working
principally through the contractor’s superintendent. They will assist in helping the contractor understand
the intent of the Contract Documents. The field personnel will review the progress schedule, shop
drawings, and required submittals, Schedule of Materials Control and consult with the Engineer
concerning acceptability. The RPR will be responsible for maintaining job site files, for correspondence,
meeting reports, field orders, and supplemental agreements. They will maintain a daily diary and records
pertaining to quantities, and will assist City staff with the applications for payment. The RPR will also
keep information pertaining to record plans and will assist City staff with scheduling the survey crew
based on staking requests from the contractor’s representative.
Observation
SEH will provide observation services including attendance at the pre-construction meeting and weekly
construction meetings, and will perform shop drawing reviews for the proposed improvements. The
proposed budget also includes minor technical support for geotechnical issues that may arise. Time has
also been included in the proposed budget to assist the City with project closeout activities.
Record Plans
SEH will furnish the City with AutoCAD files for the City’s use in preparing the record drawings.
PROJECT TEAM
Scott Haupt and Steve Prall will be available to answer design related questions and provide coordination
with field staff and Scott will provide project management of our contract with the City. They will also be
available to review design issues in the field if necessary. Robb Stevenson will serve as the RPR and will
assist the City with field representation. Nick Domiano will be the lead Survey Crew Chief. Brett Larsen
will be available to provide geotechnical field support as may be required with the subgrade correction
work.
SCHEDULE
We anticipate construction starting in April and ending in October 2023, however the actual schedule will
depend on the Contractor’s schedule and weather.
147

COMPENSATION
SEH proposes to be compensated for the scope of work proposed in the Agreement on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses, including
reproductions, mileage, personal vehicle allowance, and equipment. Additional services required beyond
the tasks and estimated hours as described can be negotiated or provided as extra work on an hourly
basis.
We have estimated a not-to-exceed fee of $253,400 for the proposed services. Anticipated tasks, hours
and expenses are included in the attached work task breakdown. The City of Golden Valley will be
invoiced for actual labor and reimbursable expenses incurred by SEH to complete the work.
This agreement is an understanding of the project to date. If this document satisfactorily sets forth your
understanding of our agreement, please sign in the space below and email SEH an electronic copy.
We look forward to working with the City on the next phase of this project, and appreciate the continued

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Community Development
763-512-2345 / 763-512-2344 (fax)
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
Agenda Item
3F. Approve the 2023 Public Land Inventory Report
Prepared By
Myles Campbell, Planner
Cherie Shoquist-Henderson, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Heather Hegi, GIS Specialist
Summary
Annually, staff must report on the status of public property held by the City to the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA), who then makes recommendation on the use of such property to
the City Council. On March 21, the City HRA reviewed the public land inventory report and
recommended the Council approve its contents.
In 2022-2023, the City did not dispose or transfer any public land, although seven parcels were
identified in the first and second rounds of the Homeownership Program for Equity (HOPE) for
redevelopment as housing. Staff expects that the first three of these properties (1605 Douglas Dr, 208
Meander Rd, 4707 Circle Down) to be transferred to selected development partners later this summer.
The parcels in the second wave of HOPE parcels are likely to be retained until Summer 2024.
While the City did not transfer or dispose of any property it did acquire a single new parcel of land,
located at 7901 23rd Ave N. A site plan for the property is included with this report. ID#149 in the land
inventory, this property was acquired by the City for use in the 2023 Pavement Management Program
(PMP) and is planned to be converted into a stormwater pond as part of this year's PMP. The parcel is
located just west of DeCola Pond A and is anticipated to further help reduce flooding impacts on the
neighborhood.
The 2022 Public Land Inventory established recommended actions for all publicly held land, as can be
seen in the attached tables. For this year's report, staff is proposing no changes to these
recommendations.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The Public Land Inventory seeks to improve the efficiency and transparency of public land
management.
Legal Considerations
This report does not require any legal review.
155
Equity Considerations
The Public Land Disposition ordinance can help to eliminate biases in the handling of public lands
when considering disposition, and was written to emphasize the potential benefit to City's affordable
housing stock.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the 2023 Public Land Inventory Report.

Agenda Item
4A. Land Use and Zoning Map Amendments and Preliminary Plat for 8200 Golden Valley Road and
8240 Golden Valley Drive
1. Approve Resolution No. 23-016 - Amending the Future Land Use Map
2. Approve Ordinance No. 760 - Amending the Zoning Map
3. Approve the Preliminary Plat (Golden Valley Apartments)
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment of
two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley Drive.
They are requesting a change in the guided land use to Community Mixed Use, a change in the zoning
designation to Community Mixed Use, and a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing
parcels. The proposed project would result in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450
space parking ramp, as well as a new single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
At its meeting on February 27, 2023, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend
approval of the land use change, the rezoning, and the preliminary plat.
Proposal
The applicant has been working closely with City staff for over a year to develop a site plan that
provides new housing within the downtown while also downsizing the footprint of the existing Wells
Fargo branch.
Proposed plans show a 302-unit multifamily building that wraps around and conceals a five-story
parking ramp on the north half of the site, with wings that extend south and shelter an outdoor
amenity area facing Golden Valley Drive. The building would be five to six stories in height and the
ground level units would be walk-ups with direct individual access to the sidewalk encircling the site.
Access to the parking ramp would be on Golden Valley Road opposite an existing driveway into the
Wesley Common townhome development, and to the west on Wisconsin Avenue opposite the
existing entrance to the Valley Creek Office Park.
The smaller parcel in the southwest corner would contain a new one-story Wells Fargo branch building
with a surface parking lot and access from Wisconsin and a newly create cul-de-sac on Golden Valley
Drive. It would include a two-lane drive-thru to the east of the building.
163
Space would be provided for new off-street bicycle/pedestrian trails along the east side of Wisconsin
Ave and the south side of Golden Valley Road, consistent with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
and eventually connecting the Luce Line Regional Trail to the north with a future Bus Rapid Transit
station at Winnetka and Hwy 55.
A narrative provided by the applicant is attached and describes the project in more detail.
Analysis
Please see the attached memos to the Planning Commission dated February 27, 2023, for a full staff
analysis with findings of fact for the land use, zoning, and platting requests. In summary, staff believes
that the changes to the land use plan and zoning are consistent with the goals and objectives of the
2040 Comprehensive Plan and help support the Council's vision for the downtown so should be
approved. The preliminary plat, as proposed, meets the City's minimum requirements so should also
be approved.
In many past requests involving both a land use change and a zoning change, the City Council has been
asked to table the vote on the zoning portion in order to allow time for the Metropolitan Council to
review and approve the land use change. However, the change in land use designation being
proposed – from Neighborhood Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use – is a minor adjustment and will
almost certainly be approved. Planning staff have confirmed that this will be reviewed administratively
and quickly by Met Council staff, and so – after consulting with the City Attorney – are comfortable
recommending that the City Council move directly to a vote on the zoning without the usual delay.
It is important to note that while a specific proposal is being brought forward by the applicant, the
actions before the City Council are not technically tied to this project as the construction of the
building would be, for the most part, carried out "by right." Because this would become a Mixed Use
zoning district if approved, the Planning Commission would have a future role in evaluating the
specifics of the proposal against the Mixed Use standards in City Code. The applicant has tentatively
scheduled this evaluation for the March 27 Planning Commission meeting.
Public Comments
Prior to the Planning Commission meeting in February, staff received two comments via the Golden
Valley Speaks website and eight emails. Eight people spoke at the public hearing. Since then, staff/City
Council Members have received at least 11 additional emails along with phone calls. Discussion has
also continued on social media.
Those who spoke in favor of the changes cited an alignment with the City's vision for creating more
residential opportunities in the downtown, as described in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and affirmed
in the Downtown Study final report (see Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan ). They also
pointed to the provision of new affordable units within the building.
Those who opposed the changes – mostly residents in Wesley Commons – cited increased traffic (both
congestion and speeding were mentioned), shading, privacy concerns, impacts to home values, and
worries about crime.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The applicant anticipates requesting Tax Increment Financing to help fund the affordable units that
164
will be required as a result of their proposal. At the appropriate time, review of this request will be
handled by the Planning Commission, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and City Council.
Legal Considerations
The City Council has a great deal of liberty to approve guided land uses that are consistent with the
vision and direction of the City. Should the Council approve a change to the land use map, it should
also amend the zoning map to maintain consistency between the two documents, as requited under
State statute.
If the preliminary plat meets the minimum standards outlined in Chapter 109 of City Code, it should be
approved – though conditions to ensure any outstanding issues are addressed prior to consideration
of the final plat may be appropriate.
Equity Considerations
Between the City's stated efforts to prioritize the creation of more housing – including more
affordable housing, its Equity Plan that includes a pillar of creating Economic Prosperity for All, and its
key role in the Just Deeds Coalition identifying and dismantling barriers to equity, staff believes that
the land use and zoning changes proposed for the two parcels is consistent with the City's goals and
should be approved. Providing 302 families – including 46 families meeting the 60% AMI target – with
the opportunity to live in a new building at the edge of downtown within a few blocks of civic and
commercial properties and to be positioned to take advantage of future mass transit on Highway 55
would be an equitable act by the City.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings of fact and factors of evaluation for platting, staff recommend the following
actions:
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 23-016, Amendment to the Future Land Use Map Designating
8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive as Community Mixed Use, and to
authorize staff to forward the requests to the Metropolitan Council for review.
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 760 Amending the Zoning Map and Rezoning Properties at 8200
Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive from Commercial to Community Mixed Use.
Motion to approve the proposed Preliminary Plat for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden
Valley Drive (Golden Valley Apartments) subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall modify the final plat to accommodate the planned cul-de-sac on
Golden Valley Drive.
2. The applicant shall work with staff to evaluate if any additional modifications to the final
plat are required in order to accommodate a future mini roundabout at the intersection of
Wisconsin Avenue and Golden Valley Road.
3. A park dedication fee equal to 6% of the land value shall be paid prior to the release of
the final plat.
4. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final
plat.

Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
8200 Golden Valley Road is a 2.74 acre property containing a single -story Wells Fargo bank with
five drive-thru lanes built in 1974. Access to the large 100-stall surface parking lot is currently
provided from the north and northeast, while the exit from the drive -thru lanes happens at Golden
Valley Drive to the south. A free-standing drive-up ATM is also located within the parking lot.
8240 Golden Valley Drive is a 1.06 acre property that has a 1966 single-story office building which
until a few years ago housed a Park Nicollet medical clinic. The building is currently vacant. It is
surrounded by approximately 65 parking stalls and has access to both Wisconsin Avenue and
Golden Valley Drive.
To the north of the site, the Wesley Commons townhomes line Golden Valley Road. To the west are
the three office buildings of the Valley Creek Office Park. To the south, All S trings Attached, the
Lighting Outlet Center, and the western portion of the Golden Valley Shopping Center provide a
buffer to Olson Memorial Highway.
The high point of the site is in the northwest corner and the topography generally drops in
elevation by approximately 10 feet moving to the south and east property lines.
The intersection of Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road is controlled by a four-way stop. Golden
Valley Road is constructed with a center median that provides limited turning movements. G olden
Valley Drive is accessed from Golden Valley Road but does not continue through to Wisconsin due
to the close proximity of that previous access point to Hwy 55.
Proposal
The applicant has been working closely with City staff for over a year to develo p a site plan that
provides new housing within the downtown area while also downsizing the footprint of the existing
Wells Fargo branch.
Proposed plans show a 302-unit multifamily building that wraps around and conceals a five-story
parking ramp on the north half of the site, with wings that extend south and shelter an outdoor
amenity area facing Golden Valley Drive. The building would be five to six stories in height and the
ground level units would be walk-ups with direct individual access to the sidewalk encircling the
site. Access to the parking ramp would be on Golden Valley Road opposite an existing driveway into
the Wesley Common townhome development, and to the west on Wisconsin Avenue opposite the
existing entrance to the Valley Creek Office Park.

The smaller parcel in the southwest corner would contain a new one -story Wells Fargo branch
building with a surface parking lot and access from Wisconsin and a newly create cul -de-sac on
Golden Valley Drive. It would include a two-lane drive-thru to the east of the building.
Space would be provided for new off-street bicycle/pedestrian trails along the east side of
Wisconsin Ave and the south side of Golden Valley Road, consistent with the City’s Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan and eventually connecting the Luce Line Regional Trail to the north with a future
Bus Rapid Transit station at Winnetka and Hwy 55.
A project narrative provided by the applicant is attached and describes the project in more detail.
Both properties are currently guided for Neighborhood Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map in
the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This was a change from the Commercial designation in the
2030 Comp Plan, and the site is still zoned Commercial. In order to provide the density needed to
make the project feasible, the applicant is proposing to increase the intensity by amending the land
use to reflect a Community Mixed Use designation and rezoning the two parcels accordingly. A
modification to the internal shared property lines via a new plat would also be necessary to better
address the space needs of the two new buildings.
Consistent with the City’s Mixed-Income Housing Policy, the change in land use and zoning will
require that a minimum of 46 units within the building be preserved at the 60% AMI level for at
least 20 years. Details on the unit plans are forthcoming.
Staff will note, as in previous land use and zoning change requests, that while a current proposal is
being put forward, if the land use and zoning changes are approved they are not tied to this
developer or to this project and could change in the future. Even the proposed use could change
should this specific proposal not move forward.
Draft architectural and civil/site development plans have been provided by the applicant and are
attached, but staff emphasizes that the approvals for land use and zoning should be reviewed
independent of these, as those decisions are mostly unrelated to the proposed building.
Consideration of the minor subdivision in a subsequent staff memos will take the proposed site
plans into account more directly.
Neighborhood Notification and Public Comments
As required under the City’s Neighborhood Notification Policy, a neighborhood mailing was sent on
February 15. Information was also posted on the Golden Valley Speaks website. Staff will
summarize any comments and responses at the meeting on February 27.
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.

Staff Review
The City Code does not set specific standards for changing a future land use designation, and the
City Council – with the input of the Planning Commission – has a great deal of latitude in deciding if
the request is consistent with the overall direction and vision of the Comprehensive Plan. In making
a determination, the City should take into account the land use descriptions outlined in the Comp
Plan as well as any potential impacts on the character of the area.
For reference, it is important to understand what both the existing and proposed land use s entail
and the expectations placed on those land uses in the Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comp Plan
has the following description of the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation:
This category includes a mix of uses including medium-density residential and neighborhood-
serving commercial, office, and institutional uses at a scale compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood they are intended to serve, which is typically a small, moderate, or medium scale.
These areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and does not require a mix of uses
within every building.
The Community Mixed Use designation is described as follows:
This category includes a mix of uses including high-density residential, commercial, office,
institutional, and light industrial uses that serve the local market area and support the
community. These areas include freestanding businesses, shopping areas, employment centers,
and housing that promotes community orientation and scale. Envisioned as compact urban
development areas that serve as a gateway to the city and as an activity center for the
community, these areas allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require a
mix of uses within every building.
The medium-density range targeted by the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation is 8 to 30 units
per acre. Community Mixed Use targets a high-density range of 20 to 100 units per acre. At 3.8
acres, the site could theoretically accommodate up to 380 units.
The City’s Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommended modifying the existing land
use map from the guided Neighborhood Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use, as it being proposed,
in order to support activity in the downtown with increased residential density.
Residential Demand
The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, with significant input from the 201 7 Maxfield Housing Needs
Analysis and its subsequent 2023 update, acknowledges a need for additional housing in Golden
Valley, especially for affordable units. As proposed, the development would address both of these
areas by providing 302 new units of housing – at least 46 of those would be made affordable at
60% AMI for a minimum of 20 years.
Traffic
Engineering staff have evaluated the likely traffic resulting from this proposed land use as part of
the Downtown Redevelopment Traffic Study conducted late in 2022. The purpose of this study was
to review the planning and policy work that the City has completed to evaluate the impact
170
5
proposed redevelopment sites may have to the traffic and operations on the surrounding street
network as well as identify any recommended mitigations to address the expected traffic demands.
The intersection at Wisconsin and Golden Valley Road was evaluated to determine if full
redevelopment of the downtown’s southwest quadrant would negatively impact the Level of
Service (LOS) at this location. While currently functioning at LOS A in both the AM and PM peak
hours, with full redevelopment of the Wells Fargo / Park Nicollet site as well as the Golden Valley
Shopping Center site, the modeled LOS for the AM peak hour would remain at LOS A while the PM
peak hour could slip to LOS B. A mini roundabout was examined for this location and could help
maintain the PM peak hour at LOS A if desired, saving approximately 5 seconds of delay per vehicle.
Context
The current land uses in proximity to the site are a complementary mix to the use being proposed.
Future Land Use Map – existing conditions
The site is surrounded to the north and east by medium density housing. To the south, the Golden
Valley Shopping Center and its outbuildings provide retail uses. Three professional office buildings
are located directly to the west. Institutional - Civic uses are within walking distance at the City Hall
Campus, and Brookview Park provides open space south of Olson Memorial Highway.
171
6
Other Community Mixed Use properties in Golden Valley are located adjacent to Hwy 55 and/or
Hwy 169 or else in the I-394 corridor. Reguiding this area would not be inconsistent with the
adopted land use pattern.
Finally, the height allowed for the use being proposed (six stories) is greater than the height
allowed for any surrounding uses, and two stories taller than the height allowed under the current
guided land use.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
Finally, staff reviewed the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan to help determin e if this
proposed change in land use was following the intent of the City’s central guiding document. Based
on the application materials, staff found the following goals and policies to support the reguiding of
the site for Community Mixed Use.
Land Use
• Goal 1: Create a Complete Community – Strive for a diverse and balanced community that
contains a variety of residential areas, major employers, retail, service, institutions, and
parks and open spaces.
Objective 2.1 – Support the downtown area at Winnetka Ave and Hwy 55 and other
neighborhood commercial nodes.
Objective 4.2 – Incorporate new mixed use zoning, when possible, into development
plans.
• Goal 6: Support Opportunities for Multi-Modal Transportation – Integrate land use and
transportation planning principles to provide a balanced system of transportation
alternatives.
Objective 1.1 – Continue to create and enforce standards for building placement and
site design to create a pedestrian-friendly environment.
Objective 1.2 – Focus redevelopment efforts near high-frequency transit service, and
implement transit-oriented development policies in these areas.
Objective 2.1 – Improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment in the downtown area
to ensure it is a safe and enjoyable place to walk.
Objective 2.4 – Seek opportunities to provide a variety of housing options near high-
frequency transit service, along prominent routes within the bicycle network, and in
pedestrian-friendly areas of the city.
Housing
• Goal 3: Increase Housing Affordability – Increase housing opportunities at a cost that low-
and moderate-income households can afford without compromising their ability to pay for
other essential needs.
Objective 3 – Support the production of new, high-quality, affordable housing in the
City.
Staff Findings
In order to provide support for the recommendation below, staff is offering the following findings
of fact related to reguiding the proposed parcels to a Community Mixed Use designation:
172
7
1. The city’s downtown would benefit from the additional residential density allowed as a
result of the change in land use.
2. The city would benefit from the number of affordable units that would be required as a
result of the requested change in land use.
3. The proposed use of this site for high-density residential with a smaller commercial
component fits with a number of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan .
4. The site is currently in an area with a variety of land use designations, complementing the
businesses and activities in the downtown.
5. Engineering staff have concluded that the amount of traffic generated by the use would be
able to be absorbed by the existing roadway infrastructure without a negative impact on
the Level of Service at Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road.
6. A specific project has been proposed in association with the change in land use, but there is
no guarantee a different proposal would not emerge that would be allowed once a
Community Mixed Use designation was established. However, in general, any of the uses
allowed under this land use designation would be complementary and support the
downtown overall.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the
Future Land Use Map, changing the guided land use for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden
Valley Drive from Neighborhood Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use.

8200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD DEVELOPMENTLAND USE APPLICATIONJANUARY 23, 2023175
January 23, 202328200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROADGolden Valley, MNABOUT ESGESG is a na! onal leader in the planning, design and development of award-winning residences and communi! es throughout the US. Our architects and designers base their work on ! meless design principles. These principles include the integra! on of pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and landscaping, proximity to mass transit, genera! ng density, and the incorpora! on of sustainable-design strategies and mixed-use commercial enterprises.DEVELOPMENT TEAM EXPERIENCEABOUT SENTINELThe developer on this project, Sen! nel was founded in 1972 and is a privately-held commercial real estate development and management fi rm. Sen! nel and its related en! ! es have worked with ci! es to prepare over 3,500 acres of vacant land for development, along with developing or managing over 1 million square feet of non-residen! al commercial space and 6,000 mul! family units. Sen! nel prides itself on bringing fi rst-class developments to thriving communi! es in the Twin Ci! es metropolitan area.ABOUT CIVIL SITE GROUPCivil Site Group is a unique design consultancy located in Golden Valley, Minnesota. Comprised of an experienced group of civil engineers, landscape architects, and land surveying professionals, Civil Site Group was voted Minnesota Construc! on Associa! on’s Design Firm of the Year in 2022.

ABOUT MONARCHMonarch CRE is a Minnesota based commercial brokerage, investment, and development company. Monarch advises leadership teams on corporate real estate projects as well as invests in value-add real estate and develops mul! -family apartment projects across the Twin Ci! es. Notable projects include the Abbey Apartments, U.S. Bank Home Mortgage HQ and the Barrel House. 176
January 23, 202338200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROADGolden Valley, MNPROJECT NARRATIVEPRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCEThe key design objec! ve of this redevelopment is the transforma! on of a func! onally outdated suburban offi ce site with signifi cant surface parking into a 300-unit residen! al community and a 4,500 SF branch bank at this downtown Golden Valley loca! on. The project will downsize the current banking use into a smaller branch bank facility with two drive-through lanes instead of the current seven lanes. While the project is applying for a change in land use, the proposed development is consistent with the key goals of the Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan and the vision of the Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan (October 2021). Guiding principles include:• The Comprehensive Plan designates this parcel as a mixed-use redevelopment site (page 2:20), recommending walk-up apartments on Golden Valley Road, commercial use oriented to the south and limited auto oriented uses. It also notes that an expanded right-of-way for future off -street bike lanes should be included. The project incorporates or plans for these func! ons in the proposed development.• The project supports the guiding principles of the Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan (October 2021). These principles include strengthening downtown’s connec! vity to adjacent recrea! onal ameni! es, add new housing, improve circula! on for vehicles and weave together all quadrants of downtown with a more desirable walking and biking environment.• The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan supports changing the site’s designa! on from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Mixed-Use Community. • Within the Mixed-Use Community (MU-C) zoning designa! on, the project is well below the height allowance of six stories (90 feet max). The setbacks conform to code and are designed to reinforce the street edge and provide an a% rac! ve pedestrian experience.• The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommends the following guidelines for the SW Quadrant (which the site is within) that the proposed project incorporates: o Land uses should be a mix of commercial and residen! al, including horizontal mixed use. o Residen! al use should be primarily oriented to Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue. o A new connec! on between Wisconsin Avenue and Golden Valley Road should be provided, with full access on Wisconsin Ave. o Golden Valley Road should be widened to accommodate street improvements, including an off -street walk/bike trail and planted boulevard. The project accommodates the space for these future improvements.KEY DESIGN FEATURES• Full integra! on of the buildings into the exis! ng streetscape infrastructure• The setback along Golden Valley Road is adjusted to accommodate future street improvements, including an off -street walk/bike trail and planted boulevards separa! ng this trail from the street.• A future off -street walk/bike trail will be accommodated along the east side of Wisconsin Avenue within an adjusted property line.• The bank and residen! al buildings will be set closer to the street edges and include enhanced landscaping in front yards to provide a more a% rac! ve pedestrian environment.• Walk up style units with sidewalks, front porches and entries will ground the building and facilitate an ac! ve streetscape environment.• Vehicle circula! on through the site relocates the entrance along Wisconsin Avenue opposite the curb cut on the west side of the street. Secondary access is located opposite Basse% Creek Boulevard as allowed per the street confi gura! on and comments from Public Works.• Almost all the vehicle parking will be concealed within an enclosed parking ramp with only a small, screened 29 space parking lot visible from the street. • The residen! al south facing amenity courtyard is on grade, allowing for generous landscaping with full sized trees since parking is not located beneath this space.• Stormwater deten! on and fi ltra! on will occur below grade and will greatly improve the current condi! on. o An off -street walk/bike trail should be added to the east side of Wisconsin Avenue. The project accommodates the space for this future improvement by giving 10’ of the property back to the public right of way. o Parking areas should be designed as a combina! on of smaller surface lots, rather than one large lot. The proposed surface parking area provides 29 parking spaces for mostly bank use. The primary parking for the residen! al project is in a fully enclosed parking structure that is wrapped with housing.• The project will meet the requirements of the city’s aff ordable housing policy.177
January 23, 202348200 GOLDEN VALLEY ROADGolden Valley, MNPROJECT NARRATIVEPARKING STRATEGYThe primary vehicle parking for the residen! al building will be concealed within an above grade enclosed parking ramp that is “wrapped” with residen! al units on all sides. All required residen! al parking spaces will be in this facility. A small surface parking lot with approximately 29 spaces will serve the new branch bank as well and will include several spaces for prospec! ve residents and visitors. The main visitor parking spaces for the residen! al building will be located within the parking ramp. PROJECT DESCRIPTION• The proposed project consists of a fi ve and six-story market rate apartment building with approximately 302 dwelling units. The mul! family building wraps a fi ve-level parking structure on all sides, and two wings of the building embrace the south facing amenity courtyard.• The exis! ng Wells Fargo bank will relocate into a smaller branch bank facility of approximately 4,500 SF at the southwest corner of the site. Two drive up ATMs will be provided adjacent to the bank, and the bank will u! lize 23 surface parking spaces adja-cent to the bank entrance.• The residen! al building lobby is located adjacent to the parking lot with a vehicle drop off and six outdoor visitor parking spaces. The lobby and leasing spaces open directly to a full complement of interior ameni! es as well as the amenity courtyard. • Service func! ons such and move-in and trash pick-up will be located at a screened ser-vice bay at the east side of the site.• Ample dedicated bike parking will be provided within the building to support and encourage bicycling. • A number of electric vehicle parking spaces will be provided in the parking garage.BUILDING DESIGN• The building uses a design strategy of base-middle-top in a contemporary manner. The pale$ e consists of a limited number of materials and colors to provide a cohesive appearance. The base of the building largely uses masonry materials while lighter weight materials are used on the fl oors above. • The building has two heights, which helps break up the massing. The por! on that surrounds the parking ramp is fi ve stories in height, while the por! on that embraces the amenity courtyard to the south is six stories in height. • Almost all the units have balconies. The project uses a combina! on of recessed and protruding balconies. Many balcony stacks provide massing and material breaks in the building. • An eff ort has been made to conceal many of the mechanical grilles on balcony side walls, so they are not as prevalent on the street eleva! ons. • To ground the building, the fi rst-fl oor units are treated, where possible, as walk-up style units with front porches and sidewalks connec! ng to the public sidewalks. • Exterior materials include cast stone, metal panel, true three-coat cemen! ! ous stucco and painted fi ber cement paneling crea! ng an integrated pale$ e that will complement the intensive landscaping of the site. 178

The significant delays experienced on the side streets are comparable to the 2022 existing
conditions and are primarily attributed to the longer cycle lengths set by MnDOT along TH 55,
which prioritize vehicle throughput on the mainline. As development occurs in Area 5, it is
recommended that the accesses on Winnetka Avenue be removed, and all accesses be located
on Harold Avenue to minimize conflict and offer additional northbound storage room for queues.

5.5 Golden Valley Road at Wisconsin Avenue Intersection Analysis
5.5.1 Single Lane Roundabout
Although the intersection of Golden Valley Road at Wisconsin Avenue does not indicate existing
safety concerns or future operational issues with the redevelopment traffic demand, the City
requested a review of the operations of a roundabout at the intersection. The intersection
currently operates as an all-way stop controlled intersection. The roundabout-controlled
intersection could be implemented as a traffic calming strategy for the corridor, be a gateway
feature into the City’s downtown area, or alleviate any future safety or operational concerns.
The roundabout analysis was performed using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS7), which
implements the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) calculations. The all-way stop analysis was
also performed using HCS7 for a direct comparison between the control options. Table 16
summarizes the operations for the intersection under the existing all-way stop control and the
roundabout control. The two control types show similar operations during the AM peak period,
showing LOS A for the intersection and for all approaches with minimal queueing. During the PM
202

Page 37
peak hour, the roundabout control reduces the overall intersection delay by 5.3 seconds per
vehicle.
Figure 13 shows a concept level drawing of a single-lane roundabout with a 120 ft diameter and
truck apron. Not including right-of-way, the construction cost estimate for this concept is $1.2-
$1.6 million.

5.5.2 Mini Roundabout
Currently, there is not a standard traffic operations analysis tool to evaluate a mini roundabout;
there are only guidelines for the expected operational capacity of the intersection. A mini
roundabout is expected to have less capacity than any single-lane roundabout examined in this
section. FHWA guidance suggests a total entering demand for a mini roundabout to be less than
1,600 vehicles per hour. The 2042 full build volumes estimate a volume demand less than 500
vehicles per hour during the AM peak hour and less 700 vehicles per hour during the PM peak
hour. Therefore, a mini roundabout is expected to operate acceptably at this intersection.
An example of a functioning mini roundabout in the City of New Prague, Minnesota is shown
below.
Mini roundabout on Main Street in New Prague, Minnesota

GOLDEN VALLEY DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC STUDY GOLDV 166095
Page 38
Figure 14 shows a concept level drawing of a mini roundabout at the Wisconsin Avenue and
Golden Valley Road intersection with an 85 ft diameter and mountable median. Not including
righto-of-way, the construction cost estimate for this concept is $0.6-$1.0 million. The mini
roundabout is expected to have significantly less impact to right-of-way at the corners compared
to the single-lane roundabout.
A signal-controlled intersection was not analyzed at this intersection since it was assumed that
the estimated build volumes would not meet signal warrants and since the existing and
roundabout-controlled scenarios perform acceptably.

Community Development Department
Date: February 27, 2023
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Zoning Map Amendment for 8200 Golden Valley Road and
8240 Golden Valley Drive
Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
For details on the background of this rezoning request and the existing conditions of the site itself,
please refer to the accompanying memo on the proposed change in guided land use.
Proposal
The zoning request would change the designated zoning from Commercial to Community Mixed
Use (MU-C).
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.
Staff Review
The City Code does not set specific standards for changing a zoning designation, and the City
Council – with the input of the Planning Commission – has a great deal of latitude in deciding if the
request is consistent with the broader zoning map for the city. In making a determination, the C ity
should take into account the purpose of zoning as outlined in the City code, which is “to regulate
land use within the City, including the location, size, use, and height of buildings, the arrangement
207
2
of buildings on lots, and the density of population within the City for the purpose of promoting the
health, safety, order, convenience, and general welfare of all citizens of the City.” (Sec. 113 -2)
The rezoning request seeks to change the site’s zoning from Commercial to Community Mixed Use
(MU-C). The purpose statements for both districts follow:
Commercial Zoning
The purpose of the Commercial Zoning District is to provide for the establishment of
commercial and service activities which draw from and serve customers in the community
and are located in areas which are well served by collector and arterial streets. The district
and its regulations should encourage business activity and vitality in support of the City's
Economic Competitiveness goals and policies.
Mixed Use Zoning
The purpose of the Mixed Use Zoning District is to implement the following principles:
(1) Implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Enable appropriate locations within the City to evolve towards a diverse mix of
compatible uses.
(3) Maximize integration rather than separation of uses.
(4) Improve connectivity for all modes of transportation.
(5) Provide a context suitable for high-frequency transit.
(6) Foster neighborhood-serving retail and service uses.
The district includes specific standards for building form, height, bulk, and placement in
order to encourage development that enhances walkability, frames the public realm, and
seamlessly transitions to adjacent development.
The Community Mixed Use subdistrict is further defined as follows:
This subdistrict allows a mix of uses including high-density residential and commercial,
office, and institutional uses. Properties zoned for Community Mixed Use typically sit
adjacent to State Highways or Interstates and are accessible through frequent transit
service. Target markets encompass the surrounding neighborhoods, the broader
community, and even the wider region. The built environment could include freestanding
businesses, shopping areas, employment centers, and apartment buildings. Envisioned as
compact urban development areas that serve as gateways to the city and as activity centers
for the community, they allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use and do not require
a mix of uses within every building.
Allowed Uses
The Commercial district allows a wide variety of retail, service, care, office, and automotive uses
while generally prohibiting manufacturing and other warehouse uses. Many of these are permitted
– or by-right – while other require a conditional use permit.
208
3
The Community Mixed Use district also allows most commercial uses (with some restrictions, such
as prohibiting gasoline sales or auto repair), while also expanding the range of options to include
dense residential developments and institutional uses. Community Mixed Use targets a high-
density range of 20 to 100 units per acre. At 3.8 acres, the site could theoretically accommodate up
to 380 units.
The City’s Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan recommended modifying the existing zoning
map from Commercial to Community Mixed Use, as it being proposed, in order to support activity
in the downtown with increased residential density.
Traffic
As described in the land use memo, traffic associated with the proposed zoning can be
accommodated by the existing infrastructure.
Context
The current zoning in proximity to the site is a complementary mix to the zoning being proposed.
Zoning Map – existing conditions
The site is surrounded to the north and east by Medium Density Residential (R-3) housing. To the
south, the Golden Valley Shopping Center and its outbuildings are zoned Commercial and provide
retail uses. Three professional office buildings are located directly to the west (zoned Office).
209
4
Institutional - Civic uses are within walking distance at the City Hall Campus, and Brookview Park
provides open space (Institutional - Parks & Natural Areas) south of Olson Memorial Highway.
Other properties zoned Community Mixed Use in Golden Valley are located adjacent to Hwy 55
and/or Hwy 169 or else in the I-394 corridor. Rezoning this area would not be inconsistent with the
existing pattern of zoning.
Setback Requirements and Height Requirements. In Mixed Use zoning districts, setbacks have been
designed to push buildings closer to the street, providing an enhanced pedestrian environment and
requiring parking lots be screened or located out of sight. Community Mixed Use buildings are
allowed to be constructed to six stories or 90 ninety feet, with stepbacks on the upper three stories
if adjacent rights-of-way are less than 70 feet wide. This is two stories taller than what would be
allowed in a Neighborhood Mixed Use subdistrict.
Staff Findings
In order to provide support for the recommendation below, staff is offering the following findings
of fact related to rezoning the proposed parcels to a Community Mixed Use designation:
1. The city’s downtown would benefit from the additional residential density allowed as a
result of the change in zoning.
2. The city would benefit from the number of affordable units that would be required as a
result of the requested change in zoning.
3. The proposed use of this site for high-density residential with a smaller commercial
component fits with a number of the Guiding Principles and Design Guidelines from the
Phase III Downtown Study final report.
4. The site is currently in an area with a variety of zoning designations, complementing the
businesses and activities in the downtown.
5. Engineering staff have concluded that the amount of traffic generated from the zoning
district would be able to be absorbed by the existing roadway infrastructure without a
negative impact on the Level of Service at Wisconsin Ave and Golden Valley Road.
6. A specific project has been proposed in association with the change in zoning, but there is
no guarantee a different proposal would not emerge that would be allowed once a
Community Mixed Use designation was established. However, in general, any of the uses
allowed under this zoning designation would be complementary and support the downtown
overall.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the
Zoning Map, changing the zoning for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive from
Commercial to Community Mixed Use (MU-C).

Date: February 27, 2023
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – Preliminary Plan for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240
Golden Valley Drive
Summary of Request
Sentinel Management Company is proposing three planning actions to allow for the redevelopment
of two properties bounded by Golden Valley Road, Wisconsin Avenue North, and Golden Valley
Drive. They are requesting a change in the guided land use, a change in the zoning designation, and
a revised plat that modifies the sizes of the two existing parcels. The proposed project would result
in a 302-unit multifamily building wrapped around a 450 space parking ramp, as well as a new
single-story Wells Fargo branch bank.
Existing Conditions
For details on the background of this subdivision request and the existing conditions of the site
itself, please refer to the accompanying memo on the proposed change in guided land use.
Proposal
The proposed platting action would modify the existing internal property lines of the two parcels
and also expand the area slightly by incorporating a portion of ROW within Golden Valley Drive that
would be vacated by the City. Adjustments to accommodate a cul-de-sac at the end of Golden
Valley Drive are also planned.
Required Process
Support from the Planning Commission and City Council for this proposal would also necessitate
review and approval from the Metropolitan Council for the change in land use, requiring a brief
delay in the final vote on the rezoning and subdivision. Staff have confirmed this would be an
administrative review and approval by the Met Council, meaning a fairly quick turnaround.
Staff Review
Lot Requirements
Unlike other zoning districts, the City’s Mixed Use subdistricts have no minimum lot size or lot
width requirements. Therefore, the two parcels being modified meet the platting standards and
212
2
are found to be acceptable. All yard setbacks and building height limits are addressed through the
zoning regulations and are evaluated at the time of site plan review.
Staff worked with the applicant to reserve sufficient space for drainage and utility easements along
the perimeter of the site to accommodate existing and future utilities along Golden Valley Road
and Golden Valley Drive. Land along both Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue is being
dedicated as right-of-way in order to provide space for future off-street bicycle and pedestrian
trails. These accommodations will help the City realize the routes in its approved Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan.
Additional Department Review
Engineering staff have reviewed the preliminary plat and have offered the following comments:
• The applicant must update the cul-de-sac design on Golden Valley Drive based on concepts
and comments provide January 23, 2023. This may also require dedication of additional right-
of-way to accommodate the design.
• Staff need to evaluate the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue to
determine if any additional right-of-way is needed for a potential future mini-roundabout, or if
any additional land must be dedicated for easements for a trail. Adjustments to the plat may
be necessary.
The Fire Department has reviewed the application and has no comments or concerns.
Qualification Governing Approval of a Minor Platting Action
According to Section 109-121 of the City’s Platting Regulations, the following govern approval of
minor platting actions with staff comments related to this request:
Factor/Finding
1. A minor platting action shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the minimum area
and dimensional requirements for the Zoning District in which they are located, or if vehicular
access is not provided from an abutting improved street.
Standard met. The revised lots would continue to meet the standards of the Mixed Use Zoning
District. Vehicular access to both lots is provided from multiple improved streets.
2. A minor platting action may be denied upon the City’s determination that a resulting new
lot is encumbered by steep slopes or excessive wetness.
Standard met. There are no steep slopes or excessive wetness present that would encumber
the lots.
3. A minor platting action may be denied if sewer and water connections are not directly
accessible by each proposed lot.
213
3
Standard met. Established sewer and water connections exist. Modifications to accommodate
future redevelopment are anticipated, but would not require public investment.
4. Approval shall be conditioned on the granting of easements for necessary public purposes.
Standard conditionally met. New drainage and utility easements have been proposed as a part
of the preliminary plat. Final adjustments may be necessary in order to accommodate the
required cul-de-sac or the future mini roundabout. These must be included on the final plat.
5. Approval may be conditioned on the requirements of outside public agencies with
jurisdiction.
Not applicable.
6. Approval shall be conditioned on the resolution of any title issues raised by the City
Attorney.
Standard conditionally met. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary
prior to approval of the final plat.
7. Minor platting actions of nonresidential parcels may be denied if new development will
cause undo strain on adjacent roads or on public utilities or will adversely affect adjacent
uses.
Standard met. Engineering staff have determined that traffic and public utility usage generated
by the proposed development on the two lots can be accommodated and would not cause
strain on adjacent roads or adversely affect adjacent uses.
8. Approval shall be conditioned on the payment of a park dedication fee, sewer and water
access charge, and pending or levied deferred assessments.
Standard conditionally met. A park dedication fee of 6% of the land value shall be required prior
to the release of the final plat. City SAC and WAC fees for proposed redevelopment will be
determined in conjunction with the Metropolitan Council and included as part of any building
permit fees. There are no pending or levied deferred assessments.
9. The conditions spelled out shall provide the only basis for denial of a minor platting action.
Approval will be granted to any application that meets the established conditions.
Standard met.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor platting action subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall modify the final plat to accommodate the planned cul-de-sac on Golden Valley
Drive.
214
4
2. The applicant shall work with staff to evaluate if any additional mo difications to the final plat are
required in order to accommodate a future mini roundabout at the intersection of Wisconsin
Avenue and Golden Valley Road.
3. A park dedication fee equal to 6% of the land value shall be paid prior to the release of the final
plat.
4. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat.

Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, started by noting the three items that are a part of this
request and although it’s one item, there will be three votes.
Zimmerman noted the location of the site within the City, the zoning, property size, and parking
regulations.
The proposal is a 2-phase redevelopment:
• Phase 1 – demolish office building and construct a new, smaller, bank building
• Phase 2 – relocate bank operations, demo old bank building, construct new multifamily building
The proposed Wells Fargo building will be one story, 23 parking spots, and 2 drive through lanes. The
proposed multi-family building will have 302 units in a 5-6 story building.
Staff displayed images from the applicant.
Changes in the land use and zoning will trigger the Mixed-Income Housing Policy. This project will set
aside at least 46 units (a mix of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom) affordable at 60% AMI for 20
years. Affordable units will be mixed throughout the building and indistinguishable from the market
rate units.
Future Land Use Map Amendment
• The zoning will change from neighborhood mixed use to community mixed use.
• The downtown traffic study in 2022 confirmed the ability for the intersection to largely
maintain the level of service with the existing infrastructure.
• The land use change creates a complete community by supporting the downtown area and
incorporates new mixed zoning.
• This will support opportunities for multi-modal transportation.
• This will increase housing affordability.
Zoning Map Amendment
• The zoning will change from commercial to community mixed use.
• No specific standards within the City Code to evaluate.
• The downtown traffic study in 2022 confirmed the ability for the intersection to largely
maintain the level of service with the existing infrastructure.
• There are a variety of zoning designations around the site, this is consistent with other
Community Mixed Use sites.
• There are reduced setback and height regulations to allow buildings to be located closer to
the street and enhance the pedestrian environment.
Modification of Plat
• Interior property lines will be adjusted to fit the proposed buildings.

• Dedication of land along Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Ave for future off-street trail
construction.
• Incorporation of a ROW portion within Golden Valley Drive would be vacated by the City.
• Dedication of ROW within Golden Valley Drive to accommodate a new cul-de-sac.
Staff Review
Lot Requirements
• No minimum lot size or lot width requirements in the Mixed-Use zoning district
• Yard setbacks and building height limits addressed through zoning at the time of plan review
• Sufficient space for drainage and utility easements reserved along the site perimeter for
existing and future utilities
• Engineering staff provided two comments:
o The applicant must update the cul-de-sac design on Golden Valley Drive based on
concepts and comments provide January 23, 2023. This may also require dedication of
additional right-of-way to accommodate the design.
o Staff need to evaluate the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Avenue to
determine if any additional right-of-way is needed for a potential future mini-
roundabout, or if any additional land must be dedicated for easements for a trail.
Adjustments to the plat may be necessary.
• No comments or concerns from Fire
Staff reviewed the Factors and Findings that Govern Approval. All 9 standards were met,
conditionally met, or otherwise not applicable.
Staff noted public comment received prior to this meeting.
• 2 submitted via the Golden Valley Speaks web page
o Both opposed
• 8 emails received by staff
o All opposed
• 2 phone conversations
o Mostly questions about proposal and process
The general themes of inquiries and concerns were: traffic, parking, privacy, theft, sunlight, height,
home values, and loss of green space.
The general themes of questions revolved around:
• Can this be a true “mixed use” development (ie, within the building)?
• Is additional height to make the project work appropriate given the impacts?
• Could other uses (grocery store, restaurants) be included?
• Why can’t the existing Wells Fargo building be saved/reused?

Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map, changing the
guided land use for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive from Neighborhood
Mixed Use to Community Mixed Use.
Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Zoning Map, changing the zoning
for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive from Commercial to Community Mixed
Use (MU-C).
Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor platting action, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The applicant shall modify the final plat to accommodate the planned cul-de-sac on Golden
Valley Drive.
2. The applicant shall work with staff to evaluate if any additional modifications to the final plat
are required in order to accommodate a future mini roundabout at the intersection of
Wisconsin Avenue and Golden Valley Road.
3. A park dedication fee equal to 6% of the land value shall be paid prior to the release of the final
plat.
4. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat.
Commissioner Ruby asked if the City has requirements for understanding the impact on other areas
from the extra shade produced by new buildings. Staff responded that the City doesn’t require a
shade percentage but felt it was helpful for the applicant to provide shade data at the start of this
process. Commissioner Brenna asked what the height difference is for commercial and community
mixed-use. Staff responded that the former is two stories and the latter is six. The applicant limited
one side of the building to five stories due to the potential impact of shading. Brenna discussed the
pervious and impervious area limits and staff noted that there are fewer pervious surface
requirements in a Community Mixed -Use than the Neighborhood Mixed-Use.
Commissioner Ginis noted community input leaned towards a desire for other retail amenities. She
added she’d like to ask the applicant why this development didn’t include those options. Staff noted
that Mixed-Use Zoning requires first floors to be taller so they can be flipped to commercial uses in
the future. Ginis noted the greenspace being added and asked about its proximity to the co mmercial
area versus the residential area.
Commissioner Segelbaum asked staff if there was a time limit so the applicant needs to complete
the project in a certain amount of time. Staff noted the time limit on building permits and deadlines
listed in a potential development agreement. Segelbaum noted the project before them isn’t the
project that has to be built, the group is only voting on the zoning changes. Staff added that there
will be a site plan review presented to Planning Commission in the future.

Commissioner Ruby asked about the affordable units as part of this project and staff noted the City’s
Housing and Development Manager is working closely with the applicant on this project. They
continued to discuss the future of affordable housing, policies, and HRA approval of an affordable
housing plan.
The group discussed setbacks, primary entrances, secondary entrances, and parking.
Chair Brookins invited the applicant to speak
Fabrizio Montermini: Sentinel Management Company, Applicant presented their project and jumped
in to address questions. The applicant started the conversation for this development in 2021 and
they also met with numerous grocers and there were a few concerns: visibility, surface parking
requirements, and Wells Fargo needing their site so they can maintain operations. Applicant
continued with other ideas for future development ideas for community spaces.
Burt Coffin, applicant architect, noted the p roposed project meets both the 2024 Comp Plan and the
2021 Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan. He noted the landscaping, parking, bike parking,
the residential courtyard, and stormwater plans.
Commissioner Ginis asked the applicant to discuss their plan to filter and control the rate of the
stormwater runoff because it’s often an overlooked benefit to the community. The applicant noted
there will be underground tanks and infiltration, additionally there will not be underground floors
which makes this easier. The goal is to collect all stormwater runoff from the site and not allow it to
run off onto neighboring areas or to flood the streets.
The conversation continued on about the building plans, size of the units, common areas,
demographic goals, EV charging stations, and the current plan compared to what is already built in
the City.
Chair Brookins opened the public forum at 7:08pm.
Chair Brookins noted the comments received via Golden Valley Speaks and are on record.
Ron Quanbeck
7930 Golden Valley Road
Regarding the land use and guiding and zoning, I have lived here less than a year. I think the
neighborhood guiding is more appropriate and fits the neighboring properties. The zoning will go
with the property, regardless of the development. If this projec t doesn’t happen, another could come
and would meet the zoning regulation. Reduction in parking can negatively impact the residents but
also the surrounding properties, I’m not in favor of reducing parking. I support RJ’s recommendation
that the ROW dedication for the round about occur. Regarding this particular proposal, the driveway
location for the parking ramp is on the curve on Golden Valley Road, the visibility is limited.

I’m an original owner, I’ve been living in this unit for 21 years. My concerns are with the road. Staff
mentioned the speed issue, and I am wondering where the applicant’s suggested expansion of the
road will occur. When we exit from Wesley Commons to Golden Valley Road we have limited visibilit y
around the curve. We were told our condo insurance rates are higher due to the rate of risk with that
curve and decrease in visibility. I would like that to be considered as the plans are drawn up and
changes are made.
Kathy Waldhauser
3220 Orchard
I favor the change in Land Use, I agree with original goals of the Comp Plan, and the details of this
proposal will be worked on. Hopefully concerns can be addressed. I’m disappointed in how the site
plan revolves around Wells Fargo. I understand negotiations had to occur but I’m disappointed the
bank isn’t inside another building and is instead a free-standing building. I’m pleased this project will
support mixed income housing goals.
Ruth Paradise
8515 Duluth Street
I support the change in zoning, I think the applicant’s proposal gives us a good idea of what can be
done. I like the units of affordable housing and I like the retail and servicing options. My son lives in
Vancouver and his Costco only has underground parking. I thought for a grocery store underground
parking is good but not if it’s an infiltration problem. Change and transition is hard, a lot of work; lots
of planning and community involvement went into both the Comp Plan and the Downtown
Redevelopment Plan.
Laurie Levin
240 Brunswick
I support the discussion this evening, all three points. Change is hard but Golden Valley is changing
for the future and provide more opportunities for folks to live in our City. I’m sure when design
elements are discussed you’ll take neighboring input.
Alicia Dybvig
7930 Golden Valley Road
This spot is ripe for development so I think the location is right. Changing the zoning makes sense but
I’m more in favor of Neighborhood Mixed use instead of Community. The latter seems to have more
focus on the Mixed-Use and I’m wondering if Neighborhood Mixed -Use is better for that site. I also
think the affordable housing is great.

We are behind the shadows and for the purpose of our house we are against it, my concerns are
filed. My son wanted to speak: The shadow will stop all of our plants, our trees, its already icy but the

shadow will make it worse. Traffic is hectic, it’s loud at night, there isn’t a lot of parking but this will
make it more hectic.
There were no more in person commenters.
Chair Brookins invited remote callers to speak at 7:53pm.
Ilze Berzins
8214 Golden Valley Road
I agree this area should be redeveloped but I don’t think it needs to be this large. My understanding
is that there’s a proposal for an apartment on 55 and Winnetka, is that happening? There are
apartments to the west on 55 and what are those occupancy rates? My wish is that the building be 4
stories high. I didn’t understand the setback comments that if the building is closer to the sidewalk
it’s more amenable to pedestrians.
Chair Brookins closed the public comment portion at 8:00pm.
Staff addressed questions.
• The ROW expansion plan is not to move curbs, but acquire ROW on the Wells Fargo side so in
the future there can be a bike trail. We don’t plan to modify the width of the road.
• There isn’t a difference between the encouragement of the mixed uses between Ne ighborhood
or Community Mixed Uses.
• The only place during the 2022 traffic study where a round about was considered was at
Wisconsin and Golden Valley Road. Staff would need to review the entire study to see if more
are proposed. Ruby asked how residents can reach out to City staff to discuss traffic safety on
the road. Staff mentioned Engineering has a Traffic Safety Committee and residents can get in
touch with Planning Staff who will forward them on or they can reach out to Engineering.
• The ramp exit on Golden Valley Road is a hard requirement from Engineering so it lines up with
Bassett Creek Boulevard exit so intersections aren’t offset. Angles may be further addressed as
well as vegetation options.
• Regarding the Harold Winnetka rezoning, there are no proposals at the moment. The zoning
change hasn’t been approved by council yet and there are no proposals now.
• Regarding Hello and the Flourish, the former is a multi-family building but it filled up right away.
The Flourish is a senior building that opened during Covid and they now met occupancy level.
Our Comp Plan confirms we still need housing, senior housing, and affordable housing.
• Buildings next to the curb feels tight but usually if there’s a parking lot distance between the
sidewalk and the building, that impacts pedestrian accessibility. Mixed-Use attempts to right
size that setback, 10-15ft from the curb.
Commissioner Ginis stated being in favor of staff recommendations and there being opportunities
later for tweaking details as they relate to resident comments on shadows and traffic. Thinking about
223

the Comp Plan and the Downtown Plan, the efforts in this site make the most sense. The increase in
density will continue to strengthen downtown options and amenities. It’s really important to connect
the bike lane from Luce Line to this area. This site is also connected to multiple main bus routes and
density in this area will support long term transit. Commissioner Brenna echoed what Ginis said and
reiterated the goals in both the Comp Plan and the Downtown Plan. The change in zoning allows the
lot to reduce the amount of pavement by 20% and that’s huge. The stormwater improvements as
suggested by the applicant are huge.
Commissioner Ruby echoed the previous two comments but added he questions the size of the lot
for Wells Fargo. Community safety around traffic and traffic speed is important and we need to
factor those concerns in. Additionally, the amount of shading is a concern and I appr eciate the
developer wanting to work with the community.
Commissioner Segelbaum added he’s in favor and stated that there could be many options for this
site by right but that the applicant is the builder and the manager is huge. Their investment is long
term and that’s desirable. The plans have room for discussion and I look forward to them.
Community concerns on safety and traffic are important and we have a Council Member here who
heard them as well.
Chair Brookins noted that when he looks at what could be built by right, he initially didn’t think the
area was a good fit. This project however considers a lot of factors, reduced what’s allowed in height,
and fits with the recommendation for the Downtown Study. Looking at what could be there, this is a
great alternative but I do have concerns for what is generally allowed in case this project falls
through. Can we tie the rezoning to the plan?
Staff responded that any proposal has to go through engineering, traffic has to work, zoning setbacks
are in place, stormwater has to work, there are checkpoints that need to be evaluated regardless.
Even this site plan will come back before this body for review.
MOTION made by Commissioner Ruby, seconded by Commissioner Ginis, to recommend approval
of the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map, changing the guided land use for 8200

I did comment earlier in the week but don't see it listed. So, just wanted to state that while I
definitely think there needs to be changes made to the area along 8200-8240 Golden Valley Drive,
I would like to see the apartment buildbing be one level less and also move them back a bit more
from the road. The design presented is following what I am seeing throughout the city and in my
opinion creates a cramped, overbearing result. Also, are that many units needed? What is the
occupancy rate of the two newer buildings built near Hwys 169 and 55.

I live in the Wesley Commons townhomes on Golden Valley Road. I am greatly opposed to this
development for the following reasons: • This would bring 300-600 new cars on Golden Valley road,
which it will not be able to support. Cars drive too fast on this road as it is. I work from home and
hear car honks throughout the day. • Safety concerns • Privacy concerns. New apartments would
look directly into the townhomes. • Theft concerns. We’ve been seeing an increase in porch pirates
and theft from the garages. • Apartment complex would block the sunlight from the townhomes • It
will be similar to the Hello complex in height which is not characteristic of this area • Parking is
already very limited. The proposed complex only has 457 underneath spaces and 28 on the surface
lot. It will add to the congestion. • Concern for my home value • Loss of green space Please don't
overburden this area with increased residents and traffic. Space seems better fit for a small
grocery store or co-op which is one thing we are missing in Golden Valley.

Subject: Sentinel Wells Fargo Apartment Complex Concerns
Mr. Mayor, City Planner and City Council Members,
I live in the Wesley Commons townhomes on Golden Valley Road with my two children and just received
notice of the proposed 300+ apartment complex.
I am greatly opposed to this development for the following reasons:
• This would bring 300-600 new cars on Golden Valley road, which it will not be able to
support. Cars drive too fast on this road as it is. I work from home and hear car honks
throughout the day.
• Safety concerns
• Privacy concerns. New apartments would look directly into the townhomes.
• Theft concerns. We’ve been seeing an increase in porch pirates and theft from the garages.
• Apartment complex would block the sunlight from the townhomes
• It will be similar to the Hello complex which is not characteristic of this area
• Parking is already very limited. The proposed complex only has 457 underneath spaces and 28
on the surface lot. It will add to the congestion.
• Kids play in the Wells Fargo parking lot after hours with bikes and scooters
• Concern for my home value
• Loss of green space
Is there anything else I can do to express my objection to this development? I will try to attend the City
Council meeting on Monday.
I have the same concerns for the proposal at 55 and Winnetka, but the Sentinel complex has direct
impact to my family. Please reject this development proposal.

Subject: Sentinel Wells Fargo Apartment development concerns
Mr. Mayor, City Planner and City Council Members,
I live in the Wesley Commons townhomes on Golden Valley Road , directly across from the current Wells
Fargo building and I just received notice of the proposed 300+ apartment complex.
229
Before I voice some of my concerns, I want to put in a heartfelt plea for you to not approve this
development proposal. When I moved to Golden Valley, I had just moved from Boston. Two major
reasons for my move back to Minnesota were to be closer to family and to finally buy my own place,
which as a single income earner would not have been possible in Boston. I was thrilled when I saw the
Wesley Commons development and immediately came to tour the "Boston" model, I signed my
purchase agreement about a day later! I was so excited, grateful and felt fortunate to be able to live in
such a safe community where neighbors are friendly and crime was low. I would love to be able to call
Golden Valley my home for the next 20 years but I no longer see that in my future if this development is
approved.
I am greatly opposed to this development for the following reasons:
Safety, noise and traffic concerns: I do currently experience a lot of fast cars going by, especially during
the day when the bank is open and I see near miss accidents on a daily basis as I work from home and
my desk faces the entrance to Wells Fargo. This proposed development would add at least 300 -500
more cars with all of the potential units that are planned.
Crime and theft concerns: we are already seeing an increase in petty theft, and I am worried that with
more people, more rentals, this will continue to increase
Privacy concerns. New apartments would look directly into the townhomes. I can already see into the
Wells Fargo bank, which isn't a problem on nights and weekends because it is closed, however, with a
tall building, I am concerned that I will no longer be able to keep my windows or shades open even
during the day.
Is there anything else I can do to express my objection to this development? I will be attending the two
upcoming City Council meetings so I can learn as much as I can about this proposed development.
Regards,
Christine Guenther

Subject: Oppose development at 8200-8240 Golden Valley Drive
Hi Mr. Zimmerman,
I wanted to express my concerns about the proposed zoning changes and redevelopment
to 8200-8240 Golden Valley Drive. My primary concerns are:
• Increased traffic on Golden Valley road; and
• Impact on current residents of Wesley Commons (reduced privacy, blocking
sunlight, reduced parking, and reduced home values).
Of note, these residents moved or bought their homes in that area under the current
zoning.

I urge the Planning Committee and City Council to reconsider this proposal.
Thank you,

Subject: Planning Commission Hearing on Rezoning 2-27-23
Mr. Zimmerman:
I have just learned about the informal hearing tonight by the Planning Commission on the rezoning
proposal, etc. for 8200 Golden Valley Road and 8240 Golden Valley Drive. Apparently the online
comment period is already closed, but I request that the following be distributed to the Commission
members and added to the public comments for the hearing, please.
As a long-time Golden Valley resident of more than 30 years, I have followed the discussions about our
evolving planning for the downtown area, and I support the principles in the Comprehensive Plan 2040,
and the recent downtown study.
I think the proposed zoning change to Neighborhood and Community Mixed Use makes sense in
principle for the parcels in this location. The location in the “downtown” area makes sense for mixed
use, and it is also an excellent location for moderate/medium density housing, particularly with a
portion of units reserved for at least some level of affordable housing. It seems clear from the plans that
staff and the prospective developer have worked diligently to create a design that balances inclusion of
a fairly high-level of units and parking in a way that is outwardly mostly attractive to view.
I have a couple of issues, however, both reinforced by staff’s caution to the commission that once any
rezoning occurs, there is subsequently less opportunity to shape the resulting “permitted” development.
The issues I see are:
1) My read of the principles and goals of the Comp and Zoning Plans for Neighborhood and Community
Mixed Use is that the intention is to foster a MIX of community-oriented, community-access uses, NOT
specifically a single use (though that is allowed). I think this intention is most appropriately for
development that includes BOTH residential AND retail/commercial/institutional functions—such as a
residential building with retail on the ground floor, for example. That would improve the proposed
development tremendously, to better fit the proposed rezoning envisioned. Was there discussion of
more uses incorporated than simply a separate parcel for a bank branch that only serves its own
patrons? Even the addition of a coffee shop, or other community-oriented/community-service uses
would better justify the “mixed use” rezoning. Otherwise, it appears that the rezoning is simply to
permit a higher-density development to improve profitability. Where is the “community” benefit, other
than adding housing?
2) The building height allowed by this rezoning, again, makes the project more financially feasible, but
that is not supposed to be the criteria for this city rezoning. The rezoning should also not adversely
affect adjacent properties, and should “integrate” with the surrounding “neighborhood.” This particular
project design has made efforts to shield the parking ramp, but changing the zoning will allow the mass
of a five and six-story building to dwarf surrounding residential and commercial properties, again,
231
contradicting the goals of the overall zoning plan to include buffers and to complement adjacent uses. In
addition, the townhomes to the north will actually be shadowed for part of the day by the buildings at
that height, in winter, which is not compatible. Were step-backs in height considered on the north, west
and east where shadows would be otherwise created? Is there anything in city procedure/regulations
that would allow the city to later ask for reconsideration of the design in this respect, if rezoning is
approved by the commission/council? This is a concern that extends to all rezoning proposals, of course.
Overall, I would like to see rezoning only when the “spirit” of the change matches the “spirit” and intent
envisioned by the Comp Plan and the Zoning Plans. Otherwise, the city has little opportunity to shape
evolving development to its own well-considered planning guidelines. As staff notes, once the rezoning
occurs, there is less opportunity to shape developer implementation of the new zone, within the
technical/legal limits.
I would welcome your response with any further information, or comment from members of the
Planning Commission.
Thank you for considering my citizen input!

Hello,
For the record I am totally against nearly 300+ apartment building on the Wells Fargo site. Why does
Golden Valley leadership always turn to building apartment house when the city lacks so many other
amenities. That beautiful mid-century modern building could easily be a arts and performance center. A
high end restaurant or a food court. An indoor pool. It could be turned into so many things that this city
is lacking, but one thing for sure, we are not lacking tacky 7 story apartment houses. I also wonder,
who’s getting rich off these projects?

Lived in East golden Valleyoff and on for 63 years. The local business s could use the revenue from more
citizen/patrons BUT— I believe the height and footprint is too large. There should be more green areas,
not just sidewalks and streets. That type of structure is another nail in the coffin that will continue to
have Golden Valley lose its small town feel. I would suggest looking at Robbinsdale or Hopkins where
They’ve mixed new and old structures and a variety of of businesses along with housing. Noelle

Subject: Land Use, Zoning, Replat - 8200 GV Road & 8240 GV Drive
Hello, I'm Andre' Trawick and I am a resident of Golden Valley, residing in the Hampshire Park
neighborhood.
I'm writing to you today regarding the rezoning of 8200 GV Rd and 8240 GV Drive.
You may remember me from a previous statement on the Harold and Winnetka project. Some of what I
said may sound copy/pasted from previous comments, but I do have new input given I now understand
we have so many developments under review or construction.
In summary, I am in full support of re-zoning of underutilized land to increase the housing availability in
Golden Valley. Given the proximity to Golden Valley's downtown it would be a real boon to the city to
have multifamily properties go in that area. My general attitude about development is unchanged from
my previous comments- I'm for building apartments and re-zoning. I will say that given we now have
two proposed and one underway off of Douglas and hwy 55, I will say I have something additional to add
to comments I've already made:
We need more accessible food in the area if we're going to have more people living around the
Winnetka and Hwy 55 area. I know you don't have control over what developers choose to build, but
234
honestly the market will be demanding a small or medium sized grocery store. I'm not talking about a
HyVee or even a Cub Foods, but something that is accessible for fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and a
bakery. Please attempt to use your clout and resources to influence the property developer to build a
grocer instead of a bank branch, or to at least allow some space be allocated for a small grocer.
I also ask that we be mindful of how we plan such that property taxes of current residents are not
severely impacted. We've been watching our property taxes go up, so we need to make sure ALL new
units are generating income for the city in a sustainable manner and don't place a new, undue burden
on existing residents.
The only way to keep rents affordable for all Minnesotans is to build more housing. I welcome the new
residents that would move into those properties, and welcome the additional density near our
downtown area.
I feel that any issues regarding walkability can be resolved with careful planning.
Concerns regarding increased density causing the neighborhoods to "lose character" are unfounded.
Many American cultural and economic touchstones have come from people that reside in high density
urban areas. Having gathering areas for people builds community. Cultural activity increases with
density. Given some of the rhetoric I've been reading online, it's very clear people are worried about the
type of culture that will pop up. Frankly, it's none of their business unless they move into the buildings
that are put up in the area under question.
If one is concerned about increasing density in general, then they can't expect economic growth in
Golden Valley. If an area isn't growing, then its shrinking. There is no "steady state" in any economy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter concerning the re-zoning debate, and I hope we can find
ways to allow more people to live in our wonderful city.
Kind Regards,
Andre'

Subject: Sentinel Wells Fargo Apartment Complex Concerns
Hello, I just wanted to send a follow up email.
Since the planning committee approved the 3 motions, what are the next steps? Does the city council
vote as well? When is the decision made on the development itself?
Regarding the development, my concern isn’t for the rezoning but rather the size of the Sentinel
development. The industrial area behind Basset Creek would be a much better site for a building this
large while still offering easy access to bike trails and bus routes.
I wanted to add some additional concerns
235
• School bus stops. I have an elementary and middle schooler on different Hopkins bus routes
and 50% of the time cars do not stop when the bus lights are flashing. The bus will honk, but
cars ignore and speed by. My daughter’s bus is supposed to pick up kids across the street,
but now drives through Wesley Commons (private road) to pick up instead so they didn’t
have to cross GV road. Additional traffic would further impact safety.
• Loss of “green” space. My point was laughed at during the meeting, but yes the concrete lot
is not technically green space, but from my home I can see the golf course, trees, fireworks
from Brookview and around the entire curve of the block to Wisconsin Ave. Instead I would
be looking at the back of 6-story wall that would wrap around the entire block. Even though
I’d get some direct sun in the summer months, I won’t be able to see much of the sky or
empty space year round.
• Ice dam/Roof damage. I currently have southern-facing exposure. A 6-story wall would
create ice dams and increase the already slippery sidewalks, similar to the northern-facing
buildings that have these issues.
I’m proud to be able to afford to live in Golden Valley as a single parent, even if it’s just a townhome, but
am heartbroken about the impact of this development to my property value and hate this is the first
time I’ve ever thought about moving. My grandparents raised my dad in Golden Valley and I’ve been
proud to raise my kids here.
Attaching some pictures from my current first-floor view. This is the view I bought when I purchased my
home almost 12 years ago. I’d encourage you to walk the block and see firsthand how big this
development would be. I’d love to welcome anyone to my home personally to get an idea of what a 6 -
story building would look like for the Wesley Commons residents.
I hope you agree there are better mixed-use options for this site.
Respectfully,
Jennifer

While I dont disagree with something new being on this site a structure of this size is ridiculous. I live at
8220 GV RD and the traffic here if terrible already. adding 600 more cars per day will be a disaster.
Nobody stops at the 4 way stop as it is and adding a round about is going to be a joke. Commercial truck
traffic on Wisconsin avenue is very heavy and a round about wont work well for them.
The height of this building will block sun and take away any views the townhouses currently have.
236
I would assume that it will take a couple of years to construct the entire project so the neighbors will be
listening to a ton of noise and equipment everyday. I believe something similar to the townhouses
would make a much better fit or at least nothing taller than 3 stories.
Why do we need more rental space no one can afford.

Subject: Opposition to Proposed Rental Development – Wells Fargo site
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rental development that has been
proposed on the Wells Fardo site for our community. As a long-time resident of this area, I am deeply
concerned about the negative impact that this development will have on our neighborhood.
Firstly, I am worried about the increased traffic that this development will bring. The proposed rental
development will increasing traffic on our already congested streets. In addition, I can't entirely agree
with the four-way stop being able to handle the current traffic independently. I have witnessed multiple
collisions in front of Wells Fargo, and the increased traffic will make it even worse for our current
residents. In addition, many elderly citizens can't walk with the new construction, adding extra pressure
on the current system. This will make it harder for residents to get around and pose safety risks for
pedestrians and cyclists.
Secondly, I am concerned about this development's strain on our already overburdened public services.
More residents will mean more demand for services such as schools, healthcare facilities, and
emergency services. Our community is already struggling to provide these services to our current
residents, and this development will only exacerbate the situation.
Finally, this rental development needs to be in keeping with the character of our neighborhood. The
proposed development is extensive and out of scale with the surrounding buildings. It will be an eyesore
and detract from the character and charm of our community. The blockage of sunlight and noise
pollution during and after post-development should be considered. I am a strong proponent of organic
growth in our communities, but something this drastic is not beneficial. I would also like to see whether
racial equality analysis was conducted for this project. During December, we need sunlight, and the
shading clearly shows the lack of sun due to building shade. Another aspect of all the analysis done was
during the Pandemic, which does not reflect the actual population and traffic.
I urge you to reconsider the proposed rental development and listen to the concerns of the residents of
this area. I believe there are better ways to meet the housing needs of our community that do not
involve such a large and intrusive development.
237
Thank you for your time and consideration.

My name is Jessica Dengel I live at 756 Wisconsin Ave N, Golden Valley. I am witting you to express my
concerns about the proposed new development of a 300 unit condo building at the Wells Fargo site on
Golden Valley Road.
My concerns are listed below:
The proposed building is going to be a RENTAL unit and will DIMINISH our property values in the
townhomes across the street that are owner owned.
This development will intrude on our privacies within our homes with hundreds of units looking directly
in and block all sunlight that we currently get by casting a large shadow.
This will diminish the character of the quaint and quite neighborhood and will clash with current
architecture. Zoning previously disallowed such rental units.
This will be an added burden on the police force and traffic.
I take these concerns seriously and would like to know how the city is going to resolve these concerns.
Thank you for your time,

Subject: In support of the Wells Fargo bank site redevelopment
I live in the Wesley Commons townhouses across from the Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Golden
Valley. I received the material on the proposed redevelopment a few weeks ago and saw it was
approved at the first meeting. I wanted to say that I moved here 22 years ago because of the walkable
community lifestyle and I fully support the development plans that were put forth for the Well Fargo
bank. I think the building and future development along adjacent sites will enhance the walkable
community aspect and improve the aesthetics and am looking forward to the development. Some of my
neighbors are afraid of the change this will bring but I think they will be much more enthusiastic once it
gets built. I can tell a lot of thought went into the design and think it fits nicely with the style of the
Wesley Commons buildings. I encourage you to proceed with the rezoning on March 21 as planned.

Subject: Proposed development 8200 Golden Valley Rd - NO!!!
Hello,
I’m writing to express our strong opposition to the building of the proposed rental units on Golden
Valley Road on the Wells Fargo bank site. We purchased our townhome, which is directly across the
street from this location, three years ago. We are owners and are aware that zoning disallowed such
rental units in the past. How can this suddenly be ok? What has changed?
The many reasons we are against this development and feel strongly that this is NOT the appropriate
location for it are as follows:
-will strain an already diminished GV police force that had been slow and at times unable to respond to
my calls in the past
-will increase traffic on a slow, single lane windy GV road that cannot handle more vehicles. It is already
a hazard to walk across the street to the GV Shopping Center because of the traffic and speeders—this
development will make this much worse!
-will greatly increase noise on the road from cars which has already increased significantly since we
moved in!
-delivery services such as Amazon and moving companies park along the curb for access to west-facing
units on GV road. This already poses a danger for them and increases the potential for accidents. Now to
significantly add to the traffic and the speeders coming around the bend is reckless - the road cannot
handle any more traffic!
-it will cast a long shadow and block the sunset for most units! We chose this location for our first home
because of the “tucked away” yet central GV location and the amount of sunlight our unit would receive
-this will diminish our property value as homeowners!
Please, I truly hope you take time to consider the concerns from OWNERS who actually live in this area
and therefore who will be directly impacted. This is NOT the appropriate location to build such a
development! The road and area cannot accommodate this whatsoever.

Subject: Redevelopment of 8200/8240 Golden Valley Road
I am writing to you as a resident of Golden Valley concerned about the redevelopment of 8200/8240
Golden Valley Road. I attended the public hearing of the Planning Commission on 2/27/2023. Jason
Zimmerman gave a very good presentation on the development of the property currently proposed by
239
Sentinel Management Company, but I disagree with the recommendation that was approved by the
commission.
When my husband and I moved to Golden Valley last summer, it was obvious to me that the site would
be redeveloped. And as a mostly empty expanse of asphalt I thought it should be redeveloped. I agree
with changing the zoning from (C) Commercial to (MU) Mixed Use, and I agree with the original City of
Golden Valley 2040 Comprehensive Plan guidelines for that property to be zoned MU-Neighborhood.
But I am strongly opposed to the redesignation from the Mixed Use Neighborhood to Mixed Use
Community. The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan has similar concept renderings in Phase II
and III for the Southwest Illustrative Concept. Noted in the Phase II concept plan are two buildings with
50-60 units each.
Six stories - 90 feet! - is too tall for that location! Although the currently proposed development is below
the limit, if anything changed for Sentinel, by approving Mixed Use Community it would allow a
developer to build up to 90 feet tall and 6 stories. Mixed Use Neighborhood, allowing 62 feet and 4
stories, is much more appropriate for that location and the surrounding residences and buildings.
A commissioner raised a concern at the hearing regarding the difference between the Mixed Use
Neighborhood limit and the proposed development as “not inconsequential”. It is not inconsequential,
and the full height allowed in Mixed Use Community is even more consequential! The difference in
height allowed between Mixed Use Neighborhood and Mixed Use Community is 28 feet! The two-story
townhomes to the north of the site would be dwarfed by such a building, and even the proposed
development would loom over the townhomes across Golden Valley Road and even more so over any
future trail along Golden Valley Road. The townhomes, planned future trail, and any ‘green space’,
would be greatly affected by the shade cast by such a tall structure. Mixed Use Neighborhood is more in
keeping with the existing scale of buildings in that area.
Increased traffic along Golden Valley Road would need to be accommodated. Already sightlines are
challenging with the curves. Access (by car, bike or on foot) from Basset Creek Boulevard, the Wells
Fargo Driveway across from it, Wesley Commons Drive and Golden Valley Drive is best done with an
abundance of caution. The Phase II concept plan of 100-120 units total would increase traffic, but at a
much lower level than the proposed development of 300+ units. Again, the more reasonable scale of
Mixed Use Neighborhood would be much more appropriate for the location.
Redevelopment shouldn’t just be about the most-dense or tallest options, redevelopment should be
about “just-right”. Right for the neighborhood, right for the city. Mixed Use Neighborhood for the site
would allow for more housing units in Golden Valley, including affordable units, without the
overwhelming scale of a 90 foot tall building of 5 or 6 stories. I am strongly opposed to Mixed Use
Community, and ask that you approve Mixed Use Neighborhood.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
Agenda Item
6A. First Consideration of Ordinance No. 761 Amending the 2023 Master Fee Schedule for Items
Related to Micromobility Licenses
Prepared By
Myles Campbell, Planner
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Since 2019, the City has benefited from agreements with private companies providing electric scooters
for use by local residents and consumers.
This year the City has partnered with the Cities of Hopkins and Saint Louis Park in order to share best
practices from all three cities in managing the licensing agreements associated with these
micromobility vehicle providers. In addition, the three cities released a joint RFP this year for
micromobility services, with the idea being that as a group the cities could attract greater interest
from providers and simplify the application process on the private sector's end.
From this collaboration, staff noted that the current licensing fee for micromobility scooters was well
below that of adjacent suburban communities, and likely did not fully cover the staff-time costs
associated with drafting application materials, reviewing bids, and eventually administering to these
vehicles in the public ROW.
Staff is proposing a new fee arrangement, in which $75 is collected as part of a licensing agreement for
each vehicle in the initial deployment. Last year, with 30 Bird scooters, this would have totaled,
$2,250. In 2023, the City is targeting an initial deployment of 50 scooters and would collect a $3,750
deployment fee. Note that subsequent increases to the fleet size by the provider are not assessed any
additional fee, per the license agreement.
In addition to the licensing fee, staff is also including two fees related to impoundment of vehicles,
which were previously required as part of past license agreements, but not included in the fee
schedule. These allow the City to collect a fee upon impoundment of a vehicle and a storage fee for so
long as it is not reclaimed.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The proposed fee change better accounts for costs associated with staff time spent administering
micromobility programs.
241
Legal Considerations
Changes to the license agreement for micromobility providers will be reviewed by the City Attorney.
Equity Considerations
None.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 21, 2023
Agenda Item
6B. Approve Updated Bylaws of Various Boards and Commissions
Prepared By
Tara Olmo, Executive Assistant
Kirsten Santelices, Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director
Summary
At the July 12, 2022 City Council Work Session City staff made recommendations to update the term
limits in board/ commission bylaws as one step toward the Council’ s goal of diversifying boards and
commissions. The term limits, as proposed by City Council, provide a structure and system that
supports giving more community members opportunities to serve in appointed positions. Staff also
recommended updating the definition of youth members and shifting the youth appointments to
October 1 each year. At the end of the Work Session the City Council gave staff direction to prepare
the amended ordinance for consideration.
At its November 15, 2022 meeting the Council approved the first reading of this ordinance with
changes to the definition of youth. The proposed second reading includes the changes approved at the
November meeting and was finalized and approved at the City Council meeting at the December 6,
2022 meeting where the City Council implemented these changes to the Community Service
Commission initially.
Legal Considerations
This ordinance was reviewed and approved by the City attorney.
Equity Considerations
Instituting term limits for boards and commissions fits within the Advancement of Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion pillar of the City's Equity Plan as well as the Inclusive Community Engagement pillar.
Implementing term limits in conjunction with staggered terms, creates a balance between continuity
and turnover. Term limits also allow for rotation of voices, provide opportunity for new and different
community members to participate, allow the City to more easily adjust its membership to reflect the
community's changing needs and demographics, and enlarge the circle of committed supporters as
members rotate off.
This structural change is an important step toward creating more opportunity for diverse
representation on the City's boards and commissions. Having a diverse set of representatives will help
the City achieve its equity goals because "diversity fosters decision-making which involves more
244
careful analysis. Groups without diversity consistently make weaker decisions than those made by
groups with experiential diversity." Yaron Nili, Board Diversity by Term Limits?, Harvard Law School

impact of policing of racially marginalized groups in the City and in the Twin Cities Metro Area. It is
in this spirit, the City Council requested a Task Force to develop a framework for community
members to provide recommendations to further equity in all facets of policing. The Task Force
recommended the creation of the Police Employment, Accountability, and Community Engagement
(PEACE) Commission and were initially responsible for drafting the Commission’s Mission and
Bylaws. The Task Force worked together from November 2020 to June 2021. The work of the Task
Force was influenced by the social context of the murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020
civil unrest and subsequent trials of the involved officers.
In this complex social context, the Task Force worked hard to reconcile many different views of
community policing and systemic racism in public safety. In that spirit, the Task Force envisions this
commission and its members will accept the following sentiment as the foundation of their work:
Commissioners should approach their duties and responsibilities with a growth mindset. They
should create opportunities for mutual respect, listen to understand, and value the perspectives
and opinions of all stakeholders.
D.Officers. The Commission shall elect officers of Chair and Vice-Chair from the Commission
membership by its voting members at its regular annual meeting, (no later than the second meeting
after May 1 in each year). The Chair and Vice Chair positions rotate, and members may only serve 272

and such election shall be for the unexpired term of said office. Officers may also delegate the
duties of their position to other Commissioners as deemed appropriate by the Commission.

or enforce the law. The term Public Safety Services reflects the evolution of the role of
peace officers from a focus on criminal detection, prevention, and enforcement, to a
community-driven service model that values learning from and sharing power with
community and aims to reduce trauma responses traditionally associated with policing in
historically harmed communities like members of the Black, Brown, Indigenous and LGBTQ
+ communities.
•Racism: The normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics – historical, cultural,
institutional, and interpersonal – that routinely advantage Whites while producing
cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
(racialequitytools.org).
•Transparency: A principle of institutional commitment to be open and forthcoming with
data and information.
