The minor subdivision would re-subdivide the existing two lots allow for the construction of three single-family homes. He stated d three lots will each exceed the minimum lot size requirements of 10,000 "A" will be 13,914 square feet, Lot "B" will be 10,260 square feet and Lot ,569 square feet. Grimes stated that he has had discussions with the applicant about the recently adopted single-family zoning code changes regarding infill development so the applicant is aware of the new requirements. Grimes referred to his memo dated May 22,2008 and discussed the nine factors for consideration and approval. He explained that the City Engineer has stated in his staff Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 2 report that the owner of the lots will be required to submit a grading and erosion control plan for each of the lots prior to construction. Grimes added that there has also been a suggestion by Public Works staff that a drainage study done for this area in the past be updated to include these proposed new lots to make sure that there is adequate storm water capacity. Keysser stated that he has been told by people in the neighborhood that the area does flood a couple times a year. Grimes said that it is his understanding that 0 occasion water has had to have been pumped out of the area.

Grimes stated that the drainage study will show if , capacity in the pond. Rocky DiGiacomo, Applicant, stated that the former home located at 229 Janalyn Circle straddled the property line between proposed Lot "A" and Lot 13. He explained that the impervious surface area of the proposed new homes on the three new lots will be fairly similar in comparison to the former house at 229 Janalyn Circle and the existing home at 4108 Glencrest. He added that the run-off from the new homes will be more evenly distributed than before and he would like to create a rain garden in the low point on Lot "A" to help with water in the low area. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28,2008 Page 3 Keysser asked if the existing newly built home on Lot 13 just to the east of Lot "A" is sold. DiGiacomo said yes. Keysser asked the applicant if he has buyers for the proposed three new homes. DiGiacomo said no. He stated that there is a strong resurgence of people who want to move back to this area and that these lots will be developed by him or by someone else. He added that he is working hard not to diminish the quality or character of the neighborhood. Keysser asked about the style of the proposed new homes. DiGiacomo s id he is most comfortable building the arts and crafts style of home. Keysser asked ant if he will be the builder of the homes on the three proposed lots.

They said they understand that the n must be fair to both the developer and neighborhood and urged the gnificant guarantees that the developer would build without harming both d and the oak grove surrounding 301 Janalyn Circle. Gene Hollister, 240 Janalyn Circle, said his main concerns are the pond and the run-off because there are water problems during heavy rains. He said during a heavy rain his neighbor's back yard becomes a pond and the water goes onto his driveway and he's had to put in "speed bumps" at the end of his driveway to help divert the water. He said he believes there is going to be a lot of trees lost and there is not enough slope on the street to direct the water to the pond. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 4 Ryan Urness, 308 Janalyn Circle, said the corner of Glencrest Road and Janalyn Circle is a relatively high point. He said his biggest concern is that he is not sure these proposed new lots will be saleable given their size and elevation. He added that he does not want a dirt pile sitting across the street from him waiting for a home to be built. Judy Stinson, 4308 Glencrest, said her neighborhood is in the "old forest" section of Golden Valley with dozens of mature oaks, maples, elms and numerous other trees and shrubs. She said most families in her neighborhood are long-term residen who live there because of the exceptional beauty and environment.

She said she believed that the long-term interests of the existing homeowners should outweigh the short-term interests of developers and that developers do not have the right to damage her trees or place them at risk. Paul Denecke, 228 Janalyn Circle, stated that up until 5 or 6 years ago the neighborhood had a constant water problem and after a heavy rain he would have water on his lawn Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 5 and the water would back-up on the streets. He said he is concerned about having enough storm sewers to handle the water. Bobbie Connor, 244 Janalyn Circle, showed the Commissioners a list of addresses in the area that have multiple oak trees. She said she counted 85 oak trees in yards of just 12 properties on Janalyn Circle so she hopes that there will be a great effort to protect these trees. She referred to a Penn State study regarding reducing the life of trees and stated that three poor decisions and misconceptions are: 1) trees are elastic eno h to adapt to abrupt changes, 2) our actions in and around trees do not obviously a iately impact the trees and 3) the trees have been there for years so nothin em.

She stated that the proposed lots only slightly exceed the minimum 10 size requirements and she'd prefer this subdivision not go through because it will cause significant changes to their neighborhood. Bridget Burke, 4223 Glencrest, said that one reason she was attracted to this neighborhood is the character of the homes, the trees and the lot sizes. She said she is renovating her home and has worked hard to keep the architectural character of the neighborhood. She supports the concern over the oak trees and said she doesn't agree that the proposed homes are in character with the Tyrol Hills style of homes. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 6 Mary Adair, 505 Janalyn Circle, said she wonders how the applicant is going to build on the proposed lots without changing everything. She stated that there is a large red or white pine on one of the lots that she is concerned about losing. She said she would support not building on the middle lot but just building on the two end lots. Ralph Jacobson, 516 Parkview Terrace, said a couple of years ago Dave Allen put up two houses next to his. Trees were taken down and he was assured new trees would be put in and of course they weren't. He said he is concerned that the developer ~ r this project won't be sensitive to the tree issues.

He addressed the concerns about the trees our oak trees on Lot "C" and none of them will be impacted. He oposed new home on Lot "C" will sit roughly in the same place as the rrently. He said the existing home is non-conforming because it is ront yard property line and the home he is proposing will meet the ents. Keysser asked the applicant if it would work for him to build the new home on Lot "C" in the exact same location as the existing home. DiGiacomo said he would prefer to build the new home in the same location as the existing house but he would require a variance to do so. Grimes stated that the location of the homes is not dealt with as a part of the subdivision proposal. The applicant would have to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals if he needed a variance and he is not sure what the hardship would be. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 7 DiGiacomo explained that Lot "B" is the most heavily wooded lot. It has two large elm trees which will survive, but it is mostly buckthorn and boxelder that should be removed. He added that no large trees on Lot "A" will be impacted. Grimes reiterated that each lot will be required to have a tree preservation plan and the City's Environmental Coordinator will suggest protection measures for the trees at the time of construction. DiGiacomo stated that there is an escrow accou the oak trees as much as anybody and th Cera asked about the repercussions if the trees are removed before th Grimes said it would be a violation of City Code.

He suggested they install a pond on Lot "A". Waldhauser said they can't expect this development to solve the drainage problems. Schmidgall questioned an earlier comment about there being four homes where there are currently two. Grimes explained that this subdivision proposal takes two existing lots and divides it into three but there is an adjacent property that the applicant has also built a home on so there will be four new homes in the immediate area. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 8 Cera said he likes the idea of requiring a pond or rain garden on Lot "A". Grimes said the Planning Commission could add a recommendation about maintaining the oak trees and making sure the roots aren't damaged. Keysser clarified the possible conditions of approval they've discussed as follows: 1) requiring an update of the existing drainage study, 2) requiring a drainage pond or rain garden, 3) requiring special effort to maintain the oak trees and if possible ove the location of the proposed new house on Lot "C" to be in the same locatiexisting house on Lot "C".

Eck sai isappointed that the Planning Commission doesn't have a report from the Environmen al Coordinator regarding the trees in the area. Keysser suggested tabling this subdivision request in order to review the updated drainage study and to also get a report from the Environmental Coordinator. Kluchka stated that the Planning Commission's guidelines are to look at the subdivision and the drainage. He questioned if the trees are something the Planning Commission can consider as part of a subdivision request. Eck said he thinks the trees are a significant enough matter that they should be addressed by the Environmental Coordinator. Minutes of Golden Valley Planning Commission May 28, 2008 Page 9 Keysser suggested again that they table this request in order to get an update on the drainage report and a report from the Environmental Coordinator regarding the trees. MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Eck and motion carried unanimously to table this subdivision request to the June 9,2008 Planning Commission meeting in order to get an updated drainage study and tree preservation report.

Lester Eck, Secretary Hey Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: May 28, 2008 To: Planning Commission From: Joe Hogeboom, City Planner Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit (CUP-122) to Allow for a Communication Tower at 1985 Douglas Drive - Jim Hiller (Honeywell, Inc.), Applicant Background and Proposed Use Honeywell Inc., 1985 Douglas Drive, has requested a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to allow a 92 foot telecommunication tower. The property is located in the Industrial Zoning District. Section 11.71, Subdivision 5(G)( 1) of City Code permits telecommunication towers to be located in Industrial Zoning District through a Conditional Use Permit. Honeywell, having recently expanded operations at its Douglas Drive facility, intends to use the proposed tower for GPS fixed position testing and video camera research, as well as intra- company communication. The proposed tower will utilize a lattice design to enhance the ability to climb the tower for maintenance procedures and research-related tasks. For its intended purposes, the tower must remain stable and not sway in the wind. A lattice design enables the tower to remain still in wind and other adverse weather. City Code does not indicate a preference between lattice-style towers and monopole towers. Design and Performance Standards To regulate the location, placement, construction, and maintenance of telecommunications towers, the City has established design and performance standards. These standards require telecommunication towers over 60 feet to be designed to accommodate additional antennas from at least one other user. Towers must also be designed to allow other antennas mounted at additional heights. City Code states that landowners must allow shared use of telecommunication towers with other comparable uses if an agreement is reached which binds additional users to provisions described in the Code. As required by City Code, the proposed tower will be located entirely within appropriate setback boundaries of the site. Additional design and performance standards regulate the location of telecommunication towers on property as well as the design practices for towers. These standards are reflected as conditions for the CUP, stated later in this report. Analysis of Ten Factors The Planning Commission must make findings on ten factors when reviewing a CUP application. They are as follows with staff comment: 1. Demonstrated Need of the Use: The City requires that an applicant identify a market for the proposed good or service necessitating a CUP. Honeywell has expressed its need for GPS testing and video camera research, both of which require the use of a telecommunication tower. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The General Land Use Plan Map guides the Honeywell site as long-term industrial use. A telecommunication tower is consistent with this land use designation. 3. Effect on Property Values in the Area: Staff does not believe the approval of this permit will negatively affect property values in the area. As required by City Code, Honeywell must place the proposed telecommunication tower within an area that is visually as unobtrusive as possible, as well as preserve existing trees and landscape features that work to buffer the view of the tower. Adhering to these measures will ensure no negative impact occur to neighboring property values. 4. Effect of Use on Traffic in the Area: The proposed tower will have no impact on traffic. 5. Effect of Increases in Density or Population on the Area: The proposed tower will have no effect on population. 6. Increase in Noise Created by Use: Noise impacts created by the proposed tower should not extend beyond the site. 7. Any Dust, Odor or Vibration caused by Use: The proposed tower will not create dust, odor, or excessive vibrations. 8. Any Increase in Animal Pests Caused by the Use: The proposed tower will not attract animal pests of any kind. 9. Visual Appearance of the Use: The visual appearance of the proposed tower must adhere to Section 11.71, Subdivision 6 of City Code. The visual appearance of the tower will have minimal impacts to surrounding properties. 10. Other Effects of the Use: Staff does not anticipate any negative effects of the proposed use. Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit allowing Honeywell to construct a 92 foot telecommunication tower. The approval of a Conditional Use Permit is subject to the following conditions: 1. No signage may be located on the tower or any attached antenna, except those that provide necessary information as required by federal or state laws. 2. The tower or any attached antennas may not be artificially illuminated, unless required law or the Federal Aviation Administration. 3. Adequate access to the tower must be provided from a public right of way. 4. The tower must be adequately landscaped and screened with natural vegetation to lessen its visual impact. The natural vegetation on the site must be documented on site and landscaping plans submitted to the City. 5. The placement, design, use, and operation of the tower must comply with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. 6. The owners of the tower must allow shared use of the tower if an additional user agrees in writing to meet reasonable terms and conditions for shared use and sign the Conditional Use Permit agreeing to requirements set therein. 7. No guy wires shall be permitted on the tower. 8. Reasonable security measures must be provided for the tower. 9. Ttle tower must be approved by a licensed professional structural engineer. It must conform to the City's Building Code. 10.AII other applicable local, state and federal requirements shall be met at all times.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Amended Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Hey Coach (formally Home Run Hitters) Training Facility at 8300 10th Ave. N. HLM Sports, LLC--Applicant In November, 2003, the City of Golden Valley issued a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the operation of a baseball/sports training facility at 8300 10th Ave. N. At the time the facility opened, it was operated by Steve Kitsis and was named Home Run Hitters. On January 8, 2008, Home Run Hitters was sold and the facility was purchased by HLM Sports, LLC, and the name changed to Hey Coach. As indicated in the attached description of the Hey Coach business, Hey Coach would like to expand to include training for basketball as well as baseball. According to the new owners, this multi-sport approach will generate more revenue and make the business successful. In order to provide the necessary space to practice and play basketball games, Hey Coach must provide space for a basketball court. They did examine the possibility of altering the existing indoor space but they found it to be very expensive because the floor would have to be lowered or the ceiling made higher. The other alternative that they have chosen is to build a small outdoor basketball court that would be 45 ft. by 55 ft. in size on a concrete slab with a Sport Court surface. They propose to have two light poles for outdoor lighting. (As indicated in their written explanation of the proposal, they would like to have an inflatable or tent structure over the court for use during inclement weather and during the fall and winter. However, staff has told the applicant that this inflatable or tent structure cannot be included in the amended CUP application unless it is shown to staff that the structures meet all state building and fire codes. The applicant has not yet gotten the requested information on the tent or inflatable structure so only the outdoor court is part of this CUP amendment application.) A copy of the existing CUP for Home Run Hitters is attached. This CUP only covers operating the training facility within a building. In fact, one of the conditions is that there will be no outside music, loud speakers or public address system. Also, the doors are to remain closed at all times. There was a concern that the doors would be opened when it was hot inside the building and that there would be noise or music heard outside. Up to this date, the City has received no complaints regarding the operation of Home Run Hitters (now Hey Coach). 1 The proposed change to the CUP would allow the 45 ft. by 55 ft. sport court to be constructed directly north of the Hey Coach space as indicated on the site plan. The court would be located 20 ft. from the building and 20 ft. from the west or side property line. They propose to have two light poles so that the court can be used in the evening hours. The court would not require the removal of any parking spaces or access to the cell tower lease space located at the north end of this property adjacent to the railroad tracks. The outdoor court brings up a couple of issues that are different from only an indoor sports training facility. First, noise could be a concern. I suggest keeping the condition that there be no outside music, loud speakers or public address system. Also, no whistles should be used since that type of noise travels long distances and there are houses to the north across the railroad tracks. Second, the concern about open doors is the same. Doors should remain closed at all times in order to keep noise inside the building. Third, there is a concern about outdoor lighting of the court. However, they will not be operating after 9 pm so lighting issues would be minimal. Also, they will have to meet the cities lighting standards that require recreational lighting to be shielded so as to minimize spillover to adjacent properties. Because this property is within an Industrial zoning district and there is a significant tree cover to the north, the lighting should not be a problem if proper shields are installed. Due to the nature of the sports training facility and its location, the small outdoor court should not have a negative impact on the area. Most of the activity will be done in the evening hours and on weekends when most ofthe businesses in the area are vacant. In terms of parking, the existing CUP requires that 30 spaces be dedicated to Home Run Hitters. This is more than adequate for this type of business. There has not been any parking issues related to the business operation and the staff sees no reason to believe that the new operator will experience any parking problems due to the outdoor basketball court. Factors for Consideration As part of the original CUP application, staff made findings on 10 factors as required by the zoning code. These findings by staff and those findings added by the Planning Commission must be sent on to the City Council for their consideration of the CUP. The findings are as follows: 1. Demonstrated Need for the Use: The City's standard basis for determining need is that an applicant has identified a market for a proposed for or service. In this case, the new owners have determined that there is a market for basketball training at this location in additional to baseball training. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The plan identified the site for long-term industrial uses. Recreational uses, by conditional use, can be considered for that land use classification. In the case of Golden Valley, other comparable recreation uses are located in the Industrial zoning district such as the skate park on Florida Ave. S. 3. Effect on Property Values in the Area: Approval of this amended CUP will not substantially alter the extent or nature of the neighboring site development or activity. Hey Coach will primarily operate when other businesses in the area are not open. Also, the outdoor court is a significant distance from any residential uses. 2 4. Effect on Any Anticipated Traffic Generation Upon Current Traffic Flow and Congestion in the Area: Due to the nature of the business and its primary hours of operation when other businesses in the area are closed, staff does not believe the expanded Hey Coach will cause undue congestion in the area. The number of employees and customers anticipated on the site at anyone time would not cause a problem with access to 10th Ave. N. or any other neighboring street. 5. Effect on Any Increase in Population: Staff does not believe that the number of employees or customers that will be on site will cause a negative impact on the area. 6. Increase in Noise level: With the exception of the outdoor basketball court, all activities occur inside the building. The outdoor court should not be that noisy considering the requirement that the site have no outdoor music, loudspeakers or public address system. Staff would add to the amended CUP that the use of whistles be prohibited. 7. Any Odor, Dust, Smoke, Gas or Vibrations Cause by the Use: The added outdoor court should not cause any of these problems. 8. Any Increase in Animal Pests as a Result of the Proposed Use: The added outdoor court will not have an impact on animals in the area. 9. Visual Appearance of the Proposed Use: The proposed outdoor sport court with two lighting poles should not have a significant impact on the area. The sport court is located to the rear of the building and will have limited visibility from the street. 10. Other Concerns Regarding the Amended CUP: Any changes to the interior of the building will require permits from the City. Staff does not have an issue with the interior use of the building as long at it relates to sports training. As with the Home Run Hitters operation, there can be sales of sporting good items and other items related to sports. These sales are usually in a Pro Shop. The building can also be used for small gatherings such as birthday parties and team events. Recommended Action Staff recommends approval of the amended Conditional Use Permit to allow Hey Coach to have a 45 ft. by 55 ft. outdoor court with two lighting poles. The outdoor court cannot be enclosed without another amendment to the CUP and approval from the City's Building Official and Fire Marshal. The amended CUP will contain many of the conditions of the existing CUP with a couple of additions. The conditions are as follows: 1. The site plan of the 8300 10th Ave. N. building prepared by HTG Architects and dated June 8, 2001 shall become a part of this approval. This plan indicates parking spaces on the site. 2. A revised site plan prepared by HTG Architects and dated May 14, 2008 shall become a part of this approval. This plan indicates to location of the sports court. 3. The interior plan for the 8300 10th Ave. N. building prepared by WCL Associates and dated September 26, 2003 shall become a part of this approval. This indicates the layout of the interior of the space. Changes to the interior can be made as long as it does not increase the size of the space for Hey Coach and the changes are consistent with the Hey Coach use. 3 4. A drainage and erosion control permit must be issued for the construction of the sport cou rt. 5. When the outdoor sport court is in use, a staff member shall be present outdoors. 6. The outdoor sport court shall be closed outside of business hours. 7. Doors are to remain closed at all times. 8. All outdoor lighting shall meet the requirements of the City's lighting code. All lights shall be shielded so as not minimize lighting spillover on to other properties. 9. All signs shall meet the requirements of the Sign Code. 10. A bike rack for at least 10 bikes shall be placed near the front door. 11. No boom boxes, loud speakers, public address system, or whistles shall be used outside. 12. At least 30 parking spaces shall be available. 13. Operating hours shall be as follows: 9 am to 10 pm. 14. All other state, local, and federal requirements shall be met. 15. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the CUP.

Home Run Hitters had operated under a CUP since 2003. The Home Run Hitters venture was unsuccessful as the previous owner did not recognize the seasonality of the business and the need for a multi-season sports offering. The Hey Coach.business plan was based on adding Basketball as an additional sport which would generate revenues during the Summer and Fall seasons. To execute this plan Hey Coach will need to build a basketball court at the current facility. Consultations with designers. and engineers have resulted in the opinion that it is best to construct the court on a small piece of property directly behind the facility. The owner ofthe property has consented to this construction indicated by his signature on the CUP. The basketball court will be 45 X 55 feet located on a concrete slab that will be covered with a Sport Court surface. There will be two light poles that focus light down on the court for night time use. We propose to cover the court from November through April with a temporary membrane structure so that it can be used during the winter season. No existing parking .spaces will be eliminated as part of this plan. The basketball court will be used in the following manner: 1. An open court available to surrounding leagues, schools and park/recreation functions. 2. To provide Private and Group basketball instruction 3. To host weekly 3 on 3 basketball tournaments for 10 - 18 year oIds. We anticipate the hours of operation to be as follows: Winter: Weekdays 3-9 PM Weekends 9 -7 PM 8300 10TH AVENUE NORTH GOLDEN VALLEY, MN 55427 763545 2005 Summer: Weekdays 9a - 9p Weekends 12- 5 P There are many community benefits to amending this CUP which include: I. An additional basketball facility in an area which has a scarcity of courts 2. A family friendly facility which helps Golden Valley athletes excel in their chosen sport 3. Located in a light industrial area with no surrounding residences. 4. A facility which supports the various leagues of surrounding communities 5. A facility which generates a significant source of customers for surrounding dining establishments Please contact Andrew Atkin, President, Hey Coach with any additional questions. y CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT No. CU-105 Date of Approval: November 18. 2003 by the City Council in accordance with Sec. 11.10.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: Informal Public Hearing-Conditional Use Permit for Indoor Baseball/Softball Training Facility at 8300 10th Ave. N.-Home Run Hitters, Inc. (Steve and Mary Kitsis), Applicant Steve and Mary Kitsis are proposing to lease a portion of the building at8300 10th Ave. N. in order to open Home Run Hitters indoor baseball/softball training facility. The business includes 4 batting cages, an Astroturf fielding area, and 4 pitching tunnels for live pitching and hitting. There is also space for instruction and a fitness area. There will also be a pro shop for the sale of softball and baseball products only. Several vending machines will also be within the space. There will also be offices for the administrative staff. The Golden Valley Zoning Code requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this type of business in the Industrial zoning district. The Zoning Code states that "Ball fields and other recreational facilities" are allowed with a CUP. In the past, the_City Council has permitted other recreational uses in the Industrial or Light Industrial zoning district including the 3rd Lair (skateboarding) at 850 Florida Ave. S. and Rico's Kickboxing on Plymouth Ave. near TH 169. The property at 8300 10th Ave. N. is zoned Industrial and is designated on the General Land Use Plan map for industrial uses. Description of Proposed Business Home Run Hitters has provided a good description of their business in the attached materials. The materials include a layout of the space they will lease in the 8300 10th Ave. building and a site plan of the property including parking lot layout. Staff will not repeat the detailed description of the business submitted by Home Run Hitters. Planning Considerations Overall, the Planning Department does not have an issue with this use. It is consistent with other recreational uses that have been permitted in the Industrial zoning district. The only issue that the staff would like to discuss in detail is in regard to parking and the parking lot. There are a total of 88 parking spaces on the site. The Zoning Code does not have a specific requirement for parking for this particular type of facility. In this case, staff has asked the applicant to identify the number of parking spaces that would be needed for the use. A total of 30 stalls was identified for their use which includes the office space and practice space. The remaining 58 spaces on the site would be for the other tenant-All Systems Installation. The applicant has stated that they will have three employees on hand at anyone time. In addition, there may be one or two coaches teaching at their facility. On average, they expect to have 10-12 customers per hour using the facility. Based on the information submitted by the applicant, many of the users will be dropped off by parents. Also, the busiest times will be on the evenings and weekends when the other building tenantdoes not operate. I have spent a lot oftime at a similar training center in Arden Hills. This training center was also located in a multi-tenant industrial building. Because the other users of the building left after normal business hours, there was more than adequate parking with 20-30 spaces. Because many of the customers will be young, staff recommends that there be a bike rack for at least 10 bikes on the site. There is also bus service along 10th Ave. N. for those who want to use transit to get to the training facility. At this time, there is no parking along 10th Ave. N. Therefore, all customer and employee parking must be on site. Staff suggests that the owner of the building may want to erect a directional sign indicating that the majority of the parking is located on the east side of the building. There may be a need to reserve some of the parking spaces in front of the building for both tenants. Overall, staff does not think this is going to be a major problem because the primary hours for Home Run Hitters is in the late afternoon, evenings and on weekends. Factors for Consideration In approving or denying any CUP, City Code requires that findings be made on ten specified factors. Staff evaluation of the ten factors as they relate to the current proposal is as follows: 1. Demonstrated Need for the Use: The City's standard basis for determining need is that an applicant has identified a market for a proposed good or service. In this case, Mr. and Mrs. Kitsis have researched the market and believe that there is a need for this facility. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The plan identifies the proposed site for long-term industrial uses. Recreational facilities, by conditional use, can be considered for that land use classification. In the case of Golden Valley, other comparable recreational uses are located in the Industrial areas of the City. 3. Effect on Property Values in the Area: Approval of the CUP will not substantially alter the extent or nature of the neighboring site development or activity. Home Run Hitters will primarily operate when other businesses in the area are not open. 4. Effect on Any Anticipated Traffic Generation Upon Current Traffic Flow and Congestion in the Area: Due to the nature of the business and its primary hours of operation, staff does not believe the new use will cause undue congestion in the area. The number of employees and customers anticipated on site at anyone time would not cause a problem with access to 10th Ave. N. or other neighboring streets. 5. Effect on Any. Increase in Population: Staff does not believe that the number of employees or customers that will be on site will cause a negative impact on the area. 6. Increase in Noise Level: All activities will occur inside the building with the exception of the parking of cars. If some doors or windows are opened, this should not have a negative impact since the noise from such a facility is relatively low. 2 7. Any Odor, Dust, Smoke, Gas or Vibration Caused by the Use: Staff does not believe that these are issues with this CUP application. 8. Any Increase in Animal Pests as a Result of this Proposed Use: There should be no increases in animal pests because of this use. All garbage will be stored inside or in an enclosed storage container. 9. Visual Appearance of the Proposed Structure or Use: The Sign Code would regulate any new signs. Home Run Hitters understands that all signage must meet the requirements outlined in the Sign Code. There are no other changes proposed to the exterior of the building. 10. Other Concerns Regarding this CUP: Any interior modification to the building will require approval by the Inspections Department. Both the Fire Marshal and Building Official have given a quick review of the request and find no reason that it cannot go forward. Recommended. Action Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow Home Run Hitters to operate at 8300. 1 Oth Ave. N. The proposed use is consistent with similar recreational uses that have also been permitted in the Industrial areas of the City. Staff recommends the following conditions. 1. The site plan of the 8300 10th Ave. N. building prepared by HTG Architects and dated June 8, 2001 shall become part of this approval. This plan indicates parking spaces on the site. 2. The interior plan for the 8300 10th Ave. N. building prepared by WCL Associates and dated Sept. 26, 2003 shall become a part of this approval. This indicates the layout of the interior space for Home Run Hitters. 3. All signs shall meet the requirements of the Sign Code. 4. A bike rack for at least 10 bikes shall be placed near the front door to Home Run Hitters. 5. No outside music, loud speakers or public address systems will be permitted. 6. At least 30 parking spaces shall be available to Home Run Hitters. 7. Operating hours shall be as follows: During School Year - Monday-Friday 3 pm to 10 pm, Saturday 9 am to 10 pm and Sunday 9 am to 6 pm.

Also, staff proposed amending City Code to create the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District. Upon the recommendation of the Director of Planning and Development, both items were tabled to a future date to allow time to address Planning Commission and resident concerns. On May 20,2008, City Code was amended to create the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District. Prior to this, the Planning Commission held an Informal Public Hearing regarding the creation of the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District, ultimately unanimously recommending it for approval on April 14,2008. Following these actions, the City of Golden Valley is now renewing its request to rezone properties within the 1-394 Corridor Study Area. Currently, the majority of properties within the 1-394 Corridor Study Area are located in the Industrial Zoning District. However, in keeping with the spirit and intent of the 1-394 Corridor Study, the City of Golden Valley believes mixed use zoning would more appropriately serve the area. On December 18, 2007, the Land Use Plan Map was amended to guide land use along Interstate 394 as Mixed Use. This change was recommended by the Planning Commission on August 13, 2007, after holding an Informal Public Hearing. State law mandates zoning to reflect land use designation. In the summer of 2007, communication was sent to affected land owners explaining the details of the land use and zoning changes. Under the provisions of City Code, current businesses in the 1-394 Corridor will be allowed to remain as non-conforming uses. Staff recommends rezoning properties in the 1-394 Corridor to be included in the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District.
