GENERAUX NOTARV PUBUC. MINNESOTA My Commission Expires Jan. 31,2010 GOLDEN VALLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION Regular Meeting Minutes February 25, 2008 Present: Commissioners Anderson; Baker; Hill; Pawluk and St. Clair. Also present were Jeannine Clancy, Public Works Director; and Lisa Nesbitt, Administrative Assistant. Absent: Commissioner Chand lee 1. Call to Order Pawluk called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm. 3. Approval of Meeting Minutes - January 28, 2008 MOVED by St. Clair, seconded by Hill, and the motion carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the January 28, 2008 meeting. 4. U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement Golden Valley is now on the map of cities that have signed the agreement. 5. 2008 Plan Development Reviewed the matrix put together by Pawluk, as a way of identifying priorities for 2008. The following areas were noted as possible priorities in 2008: ~ Recycling ~ Finding a way to inventory global warming emissions as well as obtaining a knowledge base on the subject, from residents. Staff will research possible speakers to assist Commissioners on this process. ~ Identify a way to define "sprawl" so that it encompasses the impact on a fully developed community. A recommendation was made to have a speaker come to a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to address this issue. ~ Explore ways to encourage "green design" in new development. 6. Program/Project Updates TMDL - On hold for the winter. III - 2009 PMP area will be opening up for inspections shortly. Approximately 70% of the residents in the 2008 PMP area participated in the program. Private Development Updates - Nothing new with the Xenia Ridge or Duke (West End) development projects. Traffic calming and sanitary sewer issues continue to be the main issues with the West End development project. Recycling Collection Options - An RFP is being worked on, however a contract extension is also being discussed. If negotiations for an extension fall through, plans to send out an RFP will move forward. Minutes of the Environmental Commission February 28, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Sweeny Branch Bank Stabilization Project - The contractor started last week. Deer Management Update - A total of 85 deer were removed between December 2007 and February 2008. 117 deer were recorded in March 2007 (93 in east GV, 13 in west GV, 6 in Wirth Park, and 5 in Robbinsdale). In January 2008 a total of 68 deer were reported (36 west, 14 east, 17 in Wirth Park, and 1 in Robbinsdale). 7. Commission Member Council Reports None. 8. Other Business A resident spoke during the open forum at a recent Council meeting to recommended that recycling be placed on one side of the street as a means of cutting down on fuel costs. Council directed the Environment Commission to respond to this request. The Commission discussed the request and believes that it is important for the recycling process to be as convenient as possible. It is therefore the recommendation of the Commission that the procedures remain unchanged. Staff will draft a letter to the resident to be reviewed at the next meeting. 9. Adiourn MOVED by Baker, seconded by St. Clair, and the motion carried to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 8:52 pm. The next scheduled meeting will be on March 24, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Envision Connection Project Board of Directors Meeting Minutes February 28, 2008 Present: Jim Heidelberg, Helene Johnson, Linda Loomis, Dean Penk, Marshall Tanick, Blair Tremere and Luke Weisberg (GVCEF Representative) Absent: Philip Lund Staff: Jeanne Andre The meeting began at 7:20 pm in the Council Conference Room. Approval of Minutes Tremere/Johnson moved to approve the minutes of January 24, 2008, as presented. Motion carried. Golden Valley Connects Outreach Communications Working Group - The Communications Working Group hasn't met again. Concert in the Park MC coordination and Ice Cream Social- Marshall Tanick has had discussions with both the American Legion and VFW about co~sponsoring a concert event, but has not had a concrete response from them. The group brainstormed on how to carry forward the ice cream social without a new volunteer base. Linda Loomis will check with Sharon Mattison about serving as coordinator with all of the Executive Board taking on one aspect of organizing the social. Using last year's format they anticipate being able to coordinate the planning by email. Rudy Luther and Central Bank were suggested as possible sponsors. More contributions will probably be needed if the event builds on the 2007 social and attracts more participants. Speaker's Bureau - Blair Tremere and Philip Lund met as a working group and, using the script from the ice cream social, developed a script to use for informal presentations. The group reviewed the script and suggested a few changes. Blair will revise the script for Philip to present to the Saturday Bridge Builder event, to get further comments. Nametags - Jeanne Andre distributed a few more Bridge Builder name tags to the members. The rest will be distributed at the Bridge Builder quarterly meeting. Bridge Building Activities Quarterly Meeting - Marshall Tanick has publicized the March 1 event and has only heard from a few people that they are unable to attend. Chief Altonen will make a presentation followed by a tour of the public safety building. Bruce Peterson will be the convener. Fundraising for Bridge Builder Activities and Criteria for Grants - Luke Weisberg reviewed the list of possible future activities that could be used for soliciting funds. He reported that the Golden Valley Community Events Fund (GVCEF) is more supportive of activities that involve events rather than ongoing programs. He highlighted the following ideas he supports pursuing: . Support for the community ice cream social . Support for a paint-a-thon . Support for a community weeding project . Support for a community buckthorn-busting effort ~ events, education and tools. Envision Connection Project Board of Directors Meeting Minutes February 28, 2008 - Page 2 He recommended that the group not focus on anyone idea at this time, but rather present a laundry list for the 2009 solicitation efforts. He said if the Connections Project Board wants to pursue this approach it should write a letter to the GVCEF Board expressing interest in this project, providing the list of activities that could be funded and providing names of possible new members for the GVCEF Board who could help with its oversight of the new solicitation process. This letter could be sent in June, after the 2008 festival. There was no new discussion on grant criterion. Golden Valley Days Booth Marshall Tanick asked if the Connection Project would be having a booth at Golden Valley days again this year. The members expressed support for this idea and suggested that it be on next month's agenda. Community Awards Chair Loomis reported that the Council is interested in having an awards program that recognizes community members who have made contributions that enhance the community. The members agreed that this effort fits in with the concept of Bridge Builders and encouraging people to get involved. Jeanne Andre will get information on a similar program in the City of Minnetonka for the Board to review at its next meeting. Recruitment of Members to the Executive Board Jeanne Andre reported Sharon Glover is receiving Board agenda packets. Linda Loomis will seek new members as the Council goes through its annual appointment process. Future Meetings The next meeting will be on March 20, with meetings for the rest of the year on the third instead of the fourth Thursday. The meeting ended at 8:45 pm.

Authorize Contract with Aero-Metric, Inc. for Aerial Photography and Topography Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist Summary The City of Golden Valley 2008-2012 Capital Improvement Program includes $25,000 in 2008 for the acquisition of new topography for the City (S-20, page 108). The existing topography is based upon 1999 aerial photography and is outdated in many portions of the City due to residential development, infill housing and additions, commercial and industrial development, redevelopment, highway construction, local street reconstruction, new storm water ponds and wetland improvements. The aerial photography and topography is used by staff for the design and analysis of new storm sewer systems, drainage issues, grading plan and floodplain analysis, among many other uses. The photography and topography will be available for sale to outside parties such as developers. The City of Golden Valley typically works with Hennepin County to acquire the aerial photography and topography. However, the County will not be including topography in its aerial photography flights until 2009, with delivery of the topographic products to cities in 2010. Staff recommends going forward with acquisition of its own aerial photography and topography data at this time because it is used on a daily basis for flood plain management concerns, grading permit review, drainage issues, storm water design and analysis, preliminary street design, other engineering layouts, and complaint resolution. Based upon Hennepin County's time frame, and the importance of current topographic information, staff solicited quotes from the two primary suppliers of aerial photographs and topography. The quotes received are as follows: Aero-Metric, Inc. (formerly Markhurd) Horizons, Inc. $22,700 $50,550 Recommended Action Motion to authorize a contract with Aero-Metric, Inc. for digital aerial photography and topography in an amount not to exceed $22,700. From: Jason Boudreau-Landis Sent: Wednesday, March 12,200811:15 AM To: Loomis, Linda Subject: BZA Reappointment Hello Mayor Loomis. I regret to inform you that I will be unable to remain on the BZA after the expiration of my current term. My wife BrieAnna and I will be moving out of Golden Valley the weekend of May 30th. I would be happy to remain on the board until a replacement is found, (if that is allowed). It has been a pleasure to sit on the board for the past three years. I have learned a lot and met many wonderful people. Thank you for the opportunity to serve Golden Valley. ") .. Gerald R. W obschall 1503 Welcome Avenue North Golden Valley, MN 55422 MAR 4 2008 March 5, 2008 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Golden Valley Linda R. Loomis, Mayor Mike Freiberg Paula Pentel DeDe Scanlon Bob Schafer RE: Citation No. 3080263423 See Attached I am writing this letter to appeal the citation received because of violations Residential Property Maintenance Code and also the above noted Citation. I believe the City has declared war not only on me and my property by the above actions, but on all other owners and their properties in the City. The purpose of war is to vanquish the enemy not to appease the enemy. I will ask for a truce at this time while you consider the following. It is odd to me that such an ordinance would get enacted. This ordinance as enacted has established the City as Accuser, Prosecutor and Punisher to enforce compliance. What happened to the civil rights of the accused? It seems to me that you have established a Police State in this City. Ifmy memory of history is correct, history is replete with examples of police states some are no longer with us thankfully, think Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, and some still are Cuba and North Korea to name a couple in recent history and it seems that the City could now be included. I'm quite sure that with research many more could be found and named. One of the reasons this country was founded and its method of limited government instituted was to allow its citizens the freedom to enjoy their property and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. I don't know how to enjoy my property and pursue life, liberty and happiness when I have look over my shoulder to see if the police are watching me and telling me that I have mowed my lawn properly, or that I have a clean enough yard, or that an unattractive vehicle is sitting on my driveway. Also another of way of saying the above is the residents here are free but for having to care for their property as defined by the City, to use the City's water and sewer system and etc!! So how many free buts are there, before freedom is lost? When choices are legislated out of existence where was freedom and liberty sent to? And further to help make my point as to this is bad law under equal opportunity or equal misery depending on your point of view it would seem then that every property in the City should undergo annual inspection to determine compliance with the ordinance. Excerpt from the City's folder "If more than 10% of any protective surface is blistered, cracked peeling etc. The property may be in compliance one year but not the next as wear and tear occur as the result of weathering. However, you are counting on the improbability of a citizen starting a lawsuit demanding higher taxes, thus allowing for selective and discriminatory enforcement. It does seem to me that there are more protections for the criminal in the criminal code because the criminal has protection from self incrimination. While under the civil code the civil codes are written to actually create self incrimination. If you believe there is less and less respect for the law I think the above are some of the reasons. .. ~ Citation No. 3080263423 With regard to this I believe that some ofthe above is appropriate argument here i.e. the justification for the ordinances. I acknowledge there was a citation on that vehicle late in the 2007. However, I was given the opportunity to remedy that citation and it was remedied. However with the above citation the vehicle was tagged and confiscated although it was a different tire than under the first violation. I do believe that in the interest of justice and fairness that I should have been given the opportunity to again remedy the violation before having the vehicle confiscated. I make offer this to the City and this only with regard citation 3080263423. The waiver of all fees, penalties and costs associated with the taking of the vehicle that includes the tow charge, I will pay to have the vehicle returned to my property, provide current license, repair the tire and starting on May 1,2008 walk Golden Valley Road from Highway 100 to Winnetka Avenue and return to Highway 100 and pick up the litter (30) times. I will attempt to have the 30 times completed by June 30, 2008. So in conclusion, in the interests of kindness, caring, and compassion for the current and future residents and citizens of the City I ask that the Ordinances be repealed. I do appreciate that the City's patrol officers are trained EMT's as their services have been used by myself at this address. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, jf~ ~ rJ) _p~L/L/ Gerald R.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend evening meetings due to my work schedule but I again want you to revisit your plans regarding the sidewalk on Regent Ave. Yes, I am aware that the plan has been approved though more then 75% of the residents on Regent disagree with it. It conftrms that the government in general, though I thought Golden Valley government was different continues to not listen to their public that voted them into office. I moved into Golden Valley because of no sidewalks since it gave the flavor of a suburb plus I would not have to shovel anymore! I agree that we need street repair but I am still angry about the sidewalk. With that said please consider the following: -a sidewalk is for walking NOT for biking. If this sidewalk is to be part of the biking route from the west side of 100 coming from Bassett Creek Park I recommend that a bike lane is identifted along the road with a white line paralleling the sidewalk. As an avid biker I only bike in the street with the flow of traffic. - During past winters I have walked in the street against traffic because the public sidewalks are NOT clean enough and I have fallen on ice several times. Perfect examples can be found on Noble Ave in front of Noble school and walking from Byerlys' on Duluth Street towards Douglas Ave (this sidewalk also gets extra snow dumped from the street removal) -Clearing the sidewalks with public equipment also has torn up the grass along the sidewalk. Again, go along Noble Ave beginning at Culver and go South to Golden Valley Rd and grass is torn away. I'm glad the sidewalk will not be on my side of the road. -When I lived in St. Louis Park, I had the sidewalk on my side (west side) of the street. Everyday in good weather there were bikes, trikes, skateboards, etc from the east and west side on my sidewalk. I love kids but sometimes the toys were in front of my driveway and I had to dodge the toys as I began my walk or drive into the garage. -Regent Ave. will now be free of people and animals and with the street being wider, motorists will speed up even more then they do now. It will be clear sailing from stop sign to stop sign which were installed during Mayor Tremeres' time and with the efforts of residents on Regent Ave. So now how are motorists going to slow down, especially with the widening of the street? I ask you to come and watch the speed people drive when no one is on the road. -Consider curbs like the ones on Spruce Trail. -What is planned for the space from the curb to the new sidewalk?

Authorizing Submittal of Grant Proposal for Wayzata Boulevard Corridor Traffic Calming and Non-Motorized Transportation Improvements Prepared By Joe Hogeboom, City Planner Summary To address traffic calming needs and to facilitate non-motorized transportation needs along Wayzata Boulevard at the southeast quadrant of Interstate 394 and TH 100, the City of Golden Valley is seeking to apply for grant funding through the Bike Walk Twin Cities 2008 Livable Streets Projects solicitation. Funding is available for the construction of livable streets, which facilitate the movement and safety of non-motorized transportation. The maximum available award is $750,000. If awarded, the City of Golden Valley wishes to construct an 8-10 foot mixed use trail south of the Wayzata Boulevard. Traffic calming measures, such as road articulation, may also be considered. Improvements would also be made to bus stops along the road, with improved street crossing mechanisms also being considered. This grant would also fund improvements which would extend the proposed mixed-use trail under TH 100 at the Wayzata Boulevard underpass. This corridor has been identified by Hennepin County as a gap in its regional bike plan. If built, a mixed-use bike trail would serve as a connection from the commercial district at Park Place to the Minneapolis Grand Rounds system of trails. The City would work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Park Board, the Three Rivers Parks District, and Metro Transit to ensure improvements meet local and regional needs. The Target Corporation, which operates a facility at France Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard, and the Sabes Jewish Community Center, located south of the corridor, support the proposed improvements, and will work with the Planning Department during the application process.

Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval- 1017 Ravine Trail Prepared By Joe Hogeboom, City Planner Summary Thomas Hunt and Linda McCracken-Hunt, owners of the property located at 1017 Ravine Trail, are proposing to subdivide the property into two lots. As proposed, the north reconstructed lot, where the existing home is located, would be comprised of 16,755 square feet, and the south reconstructed lot would be comprised of 13,000 square feet. Both proposed lots, located in the Single Family Residential Zoning District, meet minimum buildable lot standards, as well as have adequate setback areas. Staff has reviewed the City's Subdivision Regulations and has determined that this request meets the criteria for a Minor Subdivision. Section 12.50 of City Code requires that the approval of residential minor subdivisions shall be conditioned on the payment of a park dedication fee. The Fee Schedule requires that one percent of the total current assessed land market value be charged to the applicant as a park dedication fee. 1017 Ravine Trail was last assessed to be valued at $330,000. The suggested park dedication fee would therefore be $3,300. The Engineering Department has determined that any future developer of the proposed south reconstructed lot would have to plat easements consistent with the subdivision ordinance, as well as obtain all necessary building and public works permits. With these recommendations, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the minor subdivision of 1017 Ravine Trail.

Ms. McCracken-Hunt has proposed to create a separate residential lot of record consisting of .30 acres on the southern edge of her existing lot. The existing home structure at 1017 Ravine Trail would remain in place. If the proposed subdivision were to occur, each new lot would meet the required 10,000 square foot minimum set forth by the Zoning Code. The northern-most lot would consist of 16,755 square feet of land and the southern-most lot would consist of\ 13,000 square feet of land. Setback boundaries of the proposed northern-most lot would allow the existing home to remain without variances. Setback boundaries of the proposed southern-most lot would allow a standard home to be built without variance from City Code. Qualification as a Minor Subdivision The proposed two lot subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property located at 1017 Ravine Trail is part of a recorded plat. In addition, this proposed subdivision will produce fewer than four lots and will not create need for public improvements (such as street construction.) Ms. McCracken-Hunt has submitted the required information to the City that allows for the subdivision to be evaluated as a minor subdivision. Staff Review of Minor Subdivision Staff has evaluated this lot subdivision request as a minor subdivision. This request creates two lots that each exceed the minimum lot requirement in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District. (Minimum requirements are that lots must be at least 10,000 square feet in area with 80 feet of width at the front yard setback line which is 35 feet from the street right-of- way.) The applicant has submitted a survey for the property located at 1017 Ravine Trail prior to subdivision, as well as renderings of proposed setback boundaries, grading organization, and lot layout following lot division. These documents provide the City with information necessary to evaluate the minor subdivision. All documents show the existing home at 1017 Ravine Trail as part of future lot configuration. City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, has submitted a memorandum dated February 28, 2008 regarding recommendations from the Public Works Department concerning this request. Requirements set forth in this memo are itemized in the staff-recommended action area of this report. Qualification Governing Approval as a Minor Subdivision According to Section 12.50 of the City's Subdivision Regulations, the following are the regulations governing approval of minor subdivisions with staff comment related to this request: 1. Minor subdivisions shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the appropriate zoninq district. Both proposed lots will meet the requirements set forth by the R1 Single Family Residential Zoning District. 2. A minor subdivision may be denied if the City Engineer determines that the lots are not buildable. There is already an existing home'in the proposed northern-most lot of the subdivision area. According to the City Engineer, the east lot is adequate for the construction of a home. City services can be made available to both lots through developer requirements. 3. A minor subdivision may be denied if there are no sewer and water connections available or if it is determined bv the City Enqineer that an undue strain will be placed on City utility systems bv the addition of the new lots. As noted by the City Engineer, sewer and water lines are available to the existing home on the northern proposed lot. Sewer and water lines exist in proximity to the proposed southern lot within the Ravine Trail area and the old Wayzata Boulevard right-of-way to the south. A developer would be required to submit detailed plans regarding the proposed sewer and water locations at the time building permits are applied for. The existing street system will provide adequate access to an additional home. 4. Approval of the minor subdivision may require the qrantinq of certain easements to the City. The final plat must show all necessary easements as required by the City Engineer and City ordinances. 5. If public aqencies other than the City have iurisdiction of the streets adiacent to the minor subdivision. the aqencies will be given the opportunities to comment. MnDOT has reviewed the subdivision plans and have stated they have no comment in regard to the proposed subdivision. 6. The City may ask for review of title if requires by the City Attornev die to dedication of certain easements. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat. 7. The minor subdivision may be subiect to park dedication requirements. In this case, a park dedication fee will be assessed against this property prior to final plat approval. The fee amount will be determined by the City Council. Recommended Action The Planning Department recommends approval of the minor subdivision with the conditions listed below: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat. 2. As per City Engineer Jeff Oliver's request, any future developer of the new southerly lot must do the following: A. Plat easements consistent with the subdivision ordinance, including a ten foot wide easement on all subdivision boundaries and six foot wide easements on each side of the internal property line. B. Obtain a Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Permit at the time a home is built on the new lot. C. Obtain Sanitary Sewer and Water Permits for new utility services. D. Obtain Right-of-Way Excavation Permits for utility excavations and driveway installation. E. Obtain a Tree Preservation Permit. 3. A park dedication fee in an amount determined by the City Council shall be assessed at the time of final plat approval. 4.

The proposed subdivision consists of spfitting an oversized lot with one home into two single family lots. Ravine Trail was reconstructed in 1996 as part of the City's Pavement Management Program. The subject property was subject to three unit assessment of $2400 each. One unit assessment of $2400 was levied with the project and the remaining two unit assessments totaling $4800 were deferred until the property w~s s'ubdivide'd. Because there is only one new lot being created by this subdivision, only' one of the $2400 deferred unit assessments will be due prior to the approval of the plat. The remaining $2400 unit assessment must remain on the property as a deferred assessment. The developer will be required to plat easements consistent with the subdivision ordinance. This must include 10 foot wide easement on all subdivision boundaries, and six foot wide easements on each side of the internal property line. The existing home is currently served by City sanitary sewer and water. However, there are no sewer or water services provided for the new lot being created. There are existing sewer and water mains within Ravine Trail and within the old Wayzata Boulevard right-of-way immediately south of the property. The developer will be required to submit detailed plans regarding the proposed sewer and water locations at the time permits are applied for. The developer will be required to obtain a Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Permit at the time a home is built on the new lot. This plan must be prepared according to City standards. The developer will also be required to obtain the following permits: 1. Sanitary Sewer and Water Permits for the new utility services. G:\Developments - Private\1017 Ravine Trail\Review 022808.doc 2. Right of Way Excavation Permits for the utility excavations and driveway installation. 3. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Permit as discussed above. 4. Tree Preservation Permit. Staff recommends approval of this minor subdivision subject to the comments contained in this review.
