Minor Subdivision - Quail Woods -1825 Quail Avenue
Knaeble (Golden Valley Land Co.)
1825 Quail Avenue
The subdivision would create three separate lots and allow for the
construction of two new homes. The existing home will remain.
Grimes referred to a location map and noted that the location of his proposed subdivision is
at the southwest corner of Golden Valley Road and Quail Avenue near Scheid Park. He
explained that the applicant is proposing to subdivide the 38,714 square foot lot into three
new lots. He added that the existing home will remain, but the existing garage will be
relocated. He stated that all three lots exceed the minimum lot size requirements and noted
that utilities are available to each lot. He explained that when building permits are applied
for, a tree preservation plan and grading and erosion control plan will be required for each
lot. He stated that staff is recommending approval of this proposed subdivision because it
meets all of the requirements of the zoning code and subdivision code.

Kluchka asked if there are any covenants on this property. Grimes said he is not aware of
any covenants on this property. Kluchka asked about the owner of the property. Grimes
stated that the applicant has purchased this property from a trust.
Peter Knaeble, Applicant, stated that his intent is to remodel the existing house which has
been vacant for about a year. He clarified that the sale of the property closes at the end of
October at which time he will rearrange the location of the existing driveway and garage
and start renovating the existing home. He reiterated that all three lots exceed the
minimum standards and that all three homes will meet all of the setback r~quirements. He
stated that the property is heavily wooded and that the vast majority swill
remain however one or two may be removed on each lot in order t e new

order to build a new house. He stated that they will be doing individual tree preservation
plans for each lot.
Keysser asked if there will be a rain garden installed on Lot 2 where the existing house is
located. Knaeble said he is not planning on installing a rain garden at this point but he is
waiting to see what the Bassett Creek Management Commission will require. Grimes
added that this development is small enough not to require any ponding but it will require
that best management practices be followed.

Keysser opened the public hearing.
Roma Witzig, 1840 Quail Avenue North, asked if the developer could give some
background information on his company, projects they've done in the past and builders
they have used. She asked what assurances the neighbors have as to the quality of these
proposed new homes. She said she is very concerned about these homes becoming
rental properties and she wants to be notified when the proposed new homes are to be
built.

Kluchka referred to the other projects the applicant has done and asked if he just
subdivided the properties to prepare them for sale or if he has built houses on the
properties and then sold them. Knaeble said he mostly does infill developments where he
subdivides properties and sells them to builders to build what they want. He explained
that he doesn't know what type or style these proposed new homes will be, but the plans
will be reviewed by the City and the City does not have any design standards so he
doesn't know if the neighbors will be able to have input on the building design. He said he
recognizes that this property has been abandoned and is run-down but it is his intent to

clean it up. He referred to the concerns expressed regarding traffic and said he doesn't
see two more lots having an impact to the existing streets. He referred to the concerns
about rental properties and stated that the property is zoned R-1 so single-family homes
will be built but if someone wants to rent out their home in the future he has no control
over that and he is not sure if the City does either.
Kluchka questioned the proposed location of the existing garage. Knaeble said he is not
sure yet where on the lot the garage will be placed but it will probably be attached to
home and it will meet all setback requirements.

d with McCarty and Kluchka that there should be a condition of

is no reason or justification for variances on any of these proposed lots.
He explain that there is a state statute that says subdivision agreements are subject to
the zoning regulations currently in place for two years from the time of approval of the
subdivision agreement.
McCarty stated that putting language in the subdivision development agreement about
not allowing future variances doesn't mean that a homeowner can't come before the
Board of Zoning Appeals and ask for a variance especially if it is for a hardship created by
the City if the zoning code requirements are amended.

Keysser suggested the Commissioners take a separate vote on the issue of adding a
condition regarding allowing future variances.
The following Commissioners voted yes to add a condition of approval stating that future
variances would not be allowed: Cera, Kluchka and McCarty. Commissioners Keysser
and Schmidgall voted no.
Kluchka asked Grimes about the best way for the neighbors to mitigate the traffic issues.
Grimes stated that there has been additional right-of-way given as a part of this proposal.
He stated that this proposal would add approximately 20 trips per da xisting
traffic, not counting the 10 trips per day for the existing home. He n City

Grimes explained that there is a single-family housing maintenance code that these
houses will be subject to follow. Knaeble stated that there will be a period of transition but
that the existing house has been in transition for a year and a half already. He added that
in 2006 when the streets were reconstructed in this area the City assessed the property
owner for three lots, not two, so the owners expected there to be three lots in the future.

Subject:
Informal Public Hearing on Amendment to Section 11.24, Subd. 5(C) of Zoning
Code (High Density Residential Zoning District) Regarding Permitted Height of
Buildings without a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
On September 16, 2008, the City Council held a public hearing on a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) preliminary plan for the Applewood Pointe development. After the hearing, the City
Council voted 4-1 to approve the preliminary plan that outlines the construction of a senior
cooperative building and assisted living building at the northeast corner of Golden Valley Rd.
and Douglas Dr.
Prior to the approval of the preliminary plan for Applewood Pointe, the Council held a public
hearing on a change to the zoning map for the parcels that are proposed to make up the
Applewood Pointe development. Although the entire site for Applewood Pointe is designated on
the General Land Use Plan map for high density residential uses, the parcels that are to make
up the Applewood Pointe development are zoned either Low or Medium (R-1 or R-3) Density
Residential. As part of the discussion after the public hearing on the rezoning, there was
concern regarding the allowed height of buildings in the R-4 zoning district. Currently, the R-4
zoning district permits principal buildings up to 8 stories in height or 96 ft. Several City Council
members expressed concern that 8 stories was too high and that the permitted height in the
R-4 district should be reduced. Rather than approve the rezoning of the Applewood Pointe
parcels, the Council tabled consideration of the rezoning and referred that matter to the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission was asked to review the permitted height in
the R-4 zoning district. The rezoning of these parcels would then come back to the City Council
prior to the consideration of the final plan of development for the Applewood Pointe PUD.
At the current time, the R-4 zoning district permits buildings to be constructed up to 8 stories in
height or 96 ft. in height without a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). After some discussion, the
City Council asked that the Planning Commission consider a change to the Zoning Code that
would reduce the permitted height of buildings in the R-4 zoning district without a CUP. The City
Council generally felt that 8 stories or 96 ft. was too high for a permitted use in the R-4 district.
They discussed having a lesser height requirement and permitting higher buildings with a CUP.
1
One of the concerns of the City Council was if the Applewood Pointe development did not
continue, the properties would be rezoned to R-4 and an 8 story tall building could be
constructed without a CUP or PUD.
Based on the input from the City Council, the staff is recommending that the permitted height of
buildings in the R-4 zoning district be reduced from 8 stories or 96 ft. to 5 stories or 60 ft. If
someone wanted to build over 5 stories or 60 ft. in height, a CUP would be required. Also, the
height of a building could be over 5 stories or 60 ft. if it is a part of a Planned Unit Development
(PUD).
Changing to allow buildings over 5 stories or 60 ft. by CUP is appropriate due to the location of
those areas designated for High Density residential uses on the City's existing and proposed
General Land Use Plan maps. Many of these areas are either adjacent to or across the street
from low density residential zoning districts. At the current time, there are only four parcels that
are zoned High Density (R-4) Residential on the zoning map. Each of these four parcels is
already occupied by a larger apartment building with density of over 12 units per acre.
However, the General Land Use Plan map (existing and proposed) designates 16 properties as
High Density (over 12 units per acre). Of the 16, only 4 are currently zoned High Density
Residential (R-4). In coordination with the adoption of a new General Land Use Plan map early
in 2009, the staff will be preparing an amendment to the zoning map that will change the zoning
of the properties that are designated for high density housing on the General Land Use Plan
map to High Density (R-4) Residential zoning. The current zoning of the properties that should
have the R-4 zoning designation is Medium Density (R-3) Residential.
This proposed new permitted height seems a logical progression from the Medium Density
Residential Zoning District (R-3) that allows buildings to be up to 4 stories or 48 ft. in height
before a CUP is required. The Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2) allows
buildings up to 30 ft. in height. There is no Conditional Use Permit for buildings taller than 30 ft.
in the R-2 district. Within the Low Density Residential Zoning District (R-1) buildings are
permitted to be no taller than 28 ft. in height with no CUP process to allow taller buildings.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends amending Section 11.24, Subdivision 5(C) regarding Conditional Uses to the
following: Principal structures in excess of five (5) stories or sixty (60) feet in height.

Douglas Drive Corridor Study Update Presentation
In July, the City officially began the Douglas Drive Corridor Study. The study, which is
partially funded through a federal non-motorized transportation grant, focuses on land use
issues, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and transit options along the Douglas Drive corridor.
The Douglas Drive Advisory Committee, comprised of city staff, council members, and
planning commissioners, has been formed to guide the study.
The first phase of the Douglas Drive Corridor Study involved the identification and input of
various stakeholders along the corridor. Several meetings were held to help recognize future
growth needs of corridor businesses and organizations. Meetings with area residents were
also held to help discover local concerns and needs. Residents offered their future visions of
the corridor.
The study is expected to be completed in early 2009. At that time, public hearings will be held
to incorporate the study into the Comprehensive Plan. LHB, Inc. has been hired by the City to
assist with the Douglas Drive Corridor Study. Michael Schroeder, Project Manager, will
present an update on completed work, and familiarize Planning Commissioners with the
various aspects of the study.

Discussion on Patio Setbacks in the Single Family (R-1) Zoning District
Currently, there are not setback requirements for patios in the Single Family (R-1) Zoning
District. For most patio designs, building permits are not required. To reduce potential for
conflicts between neighboring property owners, the Planning Department requests the
Planning Commission's opinion on perusing the creation of a patio setback requirement.
In 2005, a provision was added to the Zoning Code, requiring a three foot setback for all new
driveway construction in the City of Golden Valley. This requirement was enacted, in part, to
mitigate negative impacts to neighboring property owners. Staff believes the same potential for
negative impacts to neighboring property owners exist with patios as well.
Recently, a resident informed the City of his intent to construct a new extension to his existing
driveway along his property line. After being denied a Grading and Erosion Control Permit, the
resident redefined his driveway extension as a "patio." This matter has caused an ongoing
dispute with the neighboring property owner, who is adversely impacted by this project.
Staff recommends examining the possibility of requiring a three foot setback for patios,
consistent with setback guidelines for driveways. Staff looks to the Planning Commission for
direction in this matter.
