McAleese stated that essentially, this makes the existing ordinance conform to our existing practice.
He stated some major revisions need to be done on the ordinance and the subdivision code to get the
two things working together better. The language now gives too much dis . n and something

Grimes stated that the information submitted with the Preliminary Plans is often the same or very similar
to the General Plan. Because the Staff and Planning Commission are asking for more information at
the preliminary design stage, there are not as many changes when it goes to the General Plan stage.
Rasmussen stated that the difficulty she sees is that if someone comes in with a finished plan and we
don't approve the concept, then they've put a lot of money into plans and all the preparation that really
wouldn't be necessary if we don't approve it.
Pentel stated that the Planning Commission should see the General Plan in order to advise the City .
Council on whether the Preliminary Plan expectations have been met.

McAleese said that the State statutes state, under the conditional use permit section, that governing
bodies may create conditional uses including PUD's. The process that the Planning Commission goes
through with preliminary design and general design is something that the City adopted. If there is a
better approach we can recommend it.

Grimes stated techn Iy they did own that part of the lake but in Minnesota everyone has the right to

Groger stated the Golden Valley Historical Society is the wrong color. It should be the same color as
the library. Groger also stated that PUD 8 is M-1, which has a maximum height of 3 stories, but the
senior citizen center is 8 stories.

Groger questioned the gas station on highway 100. Grimes stated that on our zoning map it's
commercial because of the small business that exists there. MnDot purchased the rest of the property.
On the comprehensive plan map it is designated as residential rather than commercial. This is
something we should talk to our City Attorney about because it was zoned in the past as commercial
and there is a commercial operation there. Grimes questioned if we are devaluing the property by
rezoning to residential.

Subject:
Minor Subdivision to Consolidate lots 9,10, and 11, Block 8, lakeview Heights
(9120 Plymouth Ave. N.) into Three lots, Susan Gonyea, Applicant
Date:
February 22, 2001
Susan Gonyea has requested a minor subdivision of her property at 9120 Plymouth Ave. N. The
property owned by Ms. Gonyea is now in three lots. The minor subdivision will consolidate the three
lots into two lots. The total size of the property to be consolidated is 27,700 sq. ft. As indicated on the
sketch of the consolidation, Parcel A (west parcel) will be 14,762 sq. ft. in area and Parcel B (east
parcel) will be 12,928 sq. ft. in area. At the present time, a two-family dwelling exists on Parcel A.
Ms. Gonyea owns this two-family house and rents it to tenants. A two-car garage exists on the
property as indicated on the sketch plan. The existing garage will be removed and replaced with a
new garage if the consolidation is approved.
The property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan for Low Density Residential Uses. The
zoning for the area is Residential. The existing two-family home at 9120 Plymouth Ave. was
constructed at a time when two-family homes were considered permitted uses in the Residential-
zoning district. (There is another two-family home to the west at the corner of Plymouth and
Gettysburg that is also zoned Residential. This two-family home was also built when two-family
homes were considered permitted uses in the Residential-zoning district.) In the past week, the staff
consulted with the City Attorney about how to handle this non-conforming zoning situation. The City
Attorney's opinion is that in order for this minor subdivision to be approved, the west lot would have to
be rezoned to Two-Family Residential because the Subdivision Code requires that all lots in a
subdivision meet the requirements of the Zoning Code. Therefore, the staff will schedule a public
hearing for the March 5, 2001 Planning Commission meeting agenda. If the Planning Commission
decides to recommend approval of the minor subdivision at the February 26, 2001 meeting, it should
be conditioned on the approval of the rezoning of the west parcel to two-family residential. (It should
be noted that the two-family home of the proposed west lot meets the requirements in the Two-Family
Residential zoning district.)
The proposed consolidation will create two lots with a north/south orientation. The west parcel will
have the existing two-family home and garage on it. Access to this two-family home will continue to
be the same as it is today. A driveway from Plymouth Ave. runs along the west side of the house and
to the rear of the lot where the existing garage is located. Parking for the two-family home is behind
the house. The same driveway will provide access to a new garage. The building setback for the
two-family house and garage will exceed zoning code requirements after the new lot line between the
two parcels is created.
The east parcel is proposed to be created in order to provide another building lot for a single-family
home. The east parcel is a rather odd shape due to lot size requirements found in the Residential
,
~'..
district of the zoning code. The zoning code states that all lots for single-family homes have to be at
least 10,000 sq. ft. in area. In addition, the lots have to have at least 80 ft. of frontage at the front .
setback line. In this case, the front setback line for the east parcel is off the stub end of Flag Ave. to
the north. The proposed east lot will exceed this minimum lot width requirement at that point. The
west lot exceeds requirements found in the Two-Family zoning district for lot size and setback.
The first request by Ms. Gonyea was to create two lots each with about 75 ft. of frontage along
Plymouth Ave. This does not work because the minimum lot width at the front setback line is 80 ft. for
single-family homes and 100 ft. for two-family homes. Also, the topography of the lot requires that
the new house be farther to the north.
The proposed new lot has quite a bit of topography as indicated by the sketch plan. (The lot drops
about 26 ft. from east to west.) Ms. Gonyea has determined that the best place to build the house is
as close to east property line as possible because this is the area that is the flattest. However, the
house must be located at least 30 ft. from the east property line due to location of City sewer and
water lines located in what was Flag Ave. right-of-way. (Currently, the City has a 20 ft. utility
easement along the east property line and the City Engineer is requesting an additional 10ft. due to
the steep slope in this area. This additional 10ft. of easement is requested as part of the subdivision
process.)
Due to the 30 ft. utility easement along the east side of this property, Ms. Gonyea plans to ask the
Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to allow the new house to be built to within about 15 ft. of the
north (or front yard) property line rather than the required 35 ft. This variance will be requested due to
the additional utility easement that is being requested by the City Engineer. If the variance were not
granted, a smaller house that could meet the setback requirements would have to be built.
Access to the east lot would be from the end of the Flag Ave. cul-de-sac. The Public Works
Department would have to issue Ms. Gonyea a permit to use that portion of Flag Ave. south of the cul-
de-sac for a driveway to her property. This access driveway would be built and maintained by Ms.
Gonyea. The City would write the access permit and have it signed prior to subdivision approval. The
Public Works Department has indicated that such a permit would be granted if it were determined that
the property is buildable.
The City staff is concerned about whether the proposed east lot is buildable due to the steep slope.
As stated above, the lot drops off from east to west by about 26 ft. Ms. Gonyea and her builder insist
that the lot is buildable with proper house design and building precautions. As stated in the
Subdivision Code, the City Engineer may deny the subdivision if it is determined that the resulting new
lot is encumbered by steep slopes. However, the minor subdivision may be conditioned on the
applicant's submittal of a certified engineer's study showing how the lot may be so reconditioned as to
allow development without adversely affecting adjacent sites. It should also be indicated that the
Inspections Department would also require soil tests for the foundation of a house. Additional
information may have to be submitted to the Inspections Department due to the location of the house
on a steep slope.
The staff recommendation is to allow the subdivision to go forward to the City Council after receiving a
Planning Commission recommendation with the understanding that such an engineering study would
have to be done prior to final approval of the subdivision. If the City Council approves the
preliminary plan, the engineering study would have to be produced by the owner (and approved by
the City Engineer) prior to the City Council giving approval to the final plat. The City Attorney has
approved these steps for approval.
This property has City utility services available to it. These utilities are located in the vacated Flag
Ave. right-of-way along the east edge of the property. The owner has agreed to give the City an.
additional 10ft. utility easement along the west edge of the existing utility easement. This additional
2
.
.
.
.
.
,
10ft. is necessary due to the steep slope in the area. If it is ever necessary to dig up the utility lines in
this area, the existing 20 ft. wide utility easement is not adequate, especially if there is a house right
next to the utility easement as was first proposed by Ms. Gonyea.
Due to the topography of the lot, special attention will have to be given during construction to avoid
erosion. An erosion control plan approved by the Public Works Department will have to be submitted
prior to the issuance of any building permits. This erosion control plan will have to protect the City
utilities that are in the ground in the vacated Flag Ave. right-of-way as well as the steep slope to the
west.
The information submitted by Ms. Gonyea meets the requirements for a preliminary plan for a minor
subdivision as found in Section 12.50 of the Subdivision Code. At this time, a report from the City
Engineer has not been done because the report from Ms. Gonyea regarding the slope stability has not
yet been submitted.
Recommended Action
The staff recommends approval of the minor subdivision to consolidate three lots into two lots if it can
be shown that the east lot can be developed in a manner that is acceptable to the City Engineer. This
will not be known until a soil stability study is completed and approved by the City Engineer. Although
the staff is concerned about the steep slope situation, there have been other homes built in Golden
Valley with similar situations that have been successful. The proposed west lot also must be rezoned
in order to bring it into conformity with the zoning code. The staff does not see this as a major issue
since the two-family house that now exists on the site appears to meet the zoning code requirements
for the Two-Family Residential zoning district. This rezoning will be considered at the March 5, 2001
Planning Commission meeting.

Informal Public Hearing on Amendments to the Golden Valley Official
Zoning Map
Background
At the February 7th Planning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed a Draft Golden
Valley Official Zoning Map. At that meeting, the Commission asked for some minor changes to
the Draft:
· PUD # 16 -the Commission was unable to locate this PUD. Upon further research, staff
has determined that this should have been stated as.PUD # 1b (as in "boy"). PUD # 16
does not exist.
· Rezone 2 properties purchased by MnDDT for storm water ponding along Highway 100
to righ~-ofway (shown as white on the map). This has been done.
· Correct the color of the Minnesota Historical Society - this has been done.
· Put private streets in parentheses - LOGIS is working on adding this to the base map.
· Change the zoning from Commercial to Residential for the former gas station property
along Highway 100. Our City Attorney has advised Staff not to rezone the property
because of pending legal action between the property owner and MnDOT.
For your reference, here are the rezonings that the Planning Commission reviewed.onFebruary ih:
. Rezone little league ballfield near Honeywell from Industrial to Institutional (1-4)
. Rezone city-owned storm water retention pond north of Honeywell from Industrial to
Institutional (1-4).
. Rezone Golden Valley Historical Society (6731 Golden Valley Road) from I -1 (church)
to 1-2 (museum)
· Public Library (830 Winnetka Avenue North) from 1-4 (city offices) to 1-2 (libraries)
· All properties zoned Open Development would be rezoned to their General Land Use .
Plan Map designation.
· Change the underlying zoning classification for the following PUD's:
· PUD # I b - Multiple Dwelling (M-2) to Multiple Dwelling (M-4)
· PUD # 5 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 8 - Residential to Multiple Dwelling (M-I)
· PUD # 13 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 14 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # I8a - Residential to Multiple Dwelling (M-I)
· PUD # 22 - Industrial to Business and Professional Office
· PUD # 24 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 26 - Multiple Dwelling (M-2) to Multiple Dwelling (M-4)
· PUD # 27 - Residential to Multiple Dwelling (M-I)
· PUD # 30b - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 34 - Institutional (I-2) to Institutional (I-I)
· PUD # 36 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 42 - Commercial to Business and Professional Office
· PUD # 48 - Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 53 - Commercial to Business and Professional Office
· PUD # 54.. Residential to Two-Family Residential (R-2)
· PUD # 67 - Industrial to Business and Professional Office
· PUD # 87 - Commercial to Business and Professional Office

Informal Public Hearing on Amendments to the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Ordinance of the Golden Valley Zoning Code
Background
At the February ih Planning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed some draft
language changes for the City's PUD Ordinance. As you recall, these amendments would allow
the following:
· Gives the Staff discretion in what types of information are provided by the applicant
for a PUD application.
· Specifically state that the PUD regulations not only apply to the Zoning Code, but
also the Subdivision Regulations (Chapter 12 of the City Code).
At the February ih meeting, the Commission asked that some minor changes be made to the
proposed language:
· Section 2 A - the language has been changed to be made more clear (see attached)
· Section 3 - the Commission stated that this language is not a complete sentence. The
City Attorney pointed out that this section of the ordinance is a "laundry list" of
required information and is not intended to be a complete sentence.
Recommended Action
Staff requests that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the adoption of
these PUD Ordinance changes in a Formal Public Hearing.

Commission discussed what items applicants for Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) should be ready to discuss in presenting their
application for consideration and approval by the Council and Planning

explain why they want the development to look the way it does. Below
are those items of concern:
. Has a neighborhood meeting been held ?
. Describe landscaping
. Describe buffering
. Describe snow storage
. Describe garbage removal
. Describe street maintenance
. Describe yard maintenance
. Setbacks - what are they and why?
· Street width - is it adequate for emergency vehicles and parking for the
homes?
. Ponds - how are ponds buffered?
. Describe pedestrian access, if applicable
. Describe public space, if applicable
. How is the site accessed by traffic?
. Is this life-cycle or affordable housing?
· What is the lot coverage of hard surfaces ?
