1. 2009 Pavement Management: Request for Secondary Driveway
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Summary
Public Works staff has received a letter from Mr. Sheldon Resig, 4900 Bassett Creek Drive,
to retain a secondary driveway to the rear of his home. Mr. Resig's May 28, 2009 letter is
attached to this memorandum for reference. The subject property has a full driveway into a
double garage from Bassett Creek Drive. The secondary driveway, which is surfaced with
gravel, is from Perry Avenue and extends to the back door of the home. Photographs
showing the two driveways to this home are also attached to this memorandum for reference.
Staff has investigated the Resig's request following receipt of the attached letter and made
the following findings:
1. There are no handicap vehicle licenses or permits for any of the vehicles licensed to
the Resigs.
2. The home is a rambler, with both driveways accessing the same floor of the home.
Therefore, equal access is available into the home from both driveways.
3. The homeowners have the ability to have trashcans and recycling containers taken to
the street from both driveways.
4. As previously directed by the City Council, staff has consistently eliminated secondary
driveways to rear yard areas as part of PMP projects.
Based upon these findings, staff determined that no hardship is present at the Resig
residence and the request to retain the secondary driveway was denied. The Resigs have
requested that the City Council review their request.
Staff is requesting guidance from the City Council on this issue.

Dear Mr. Oliver:
Re: Your letter of May 20, 2009 and phone conversation of May 26,
2009
Elimination of my secondary driveway will be a hardship for me and
my wife. My wife had cancer surgery about three years ago that took
the muscle from her right leg. we installed a hand rail to assist her
walking down the back stairs to access the yard and driveway.
The driveway is used for access to the house for deliveries and service
calls for repairs. CenterPoint Energy used the driveway during the
current Pavement Management Program to move the gas meter from
inside the house to outside the house. The driveway is the only way I
have to get my trash container to the street for weekly pick-up. I can
site many other uses over the thirty-seven years that I have occupied
this house.
My secondary driveway appears to meet the criteria of item three of
your letter. I do not understand how my driveway meets your
definition of a boulevard.
Sincerely, >

Secondary Driveway

Dear Mr. Resig:
City of Golden Valley staff has reviewed your request to retain the
secondary driveway to your property. This secondary driveway is the
gravel driveway located on the Perry Avenue side of your property, and
provides access to the back door of your home.
Consistent with City policy to eliminate secondary driveways and
boulevard parking areas, staff has determined that no hardship is present
at your property, and your request has therefore been denied. The City's
contractor will be installing concrete curb and gutter across this driveway
and restoring the boulevard area with sod.
If you wish to appeal this decision to the Golden Valley City Council,
please contact Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works, at

Statement of Need
Summary Statement of Need
The City of Golden Valley has requested assistance from the Human Rights Commission to educate,
inform and encourage participation in the upcoming 2010 census.
In each of the five cities the 2000 census had an undercount, missing many persons of color or whose
primary language was not English. In the past 5 years our city has increased its diversity both
ecumenically and culturally. While there has been increased mobility in the rental apartments, there
has been a significant increase in individual home rentals due to the economic downturn. The
immigration from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Liberia as well as the resettlement of the Hmong and
Latino populations into this first ring suburban area requires preparation for the census.

Agenda Item
3. Discontinuation of Valley Square Tax Increment District
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Staff recommended at the March Workshop the possibility that the City may be able to close
the last portion of Valley Square Tax Increment Area called Area B early. It was scheduled to
end after 2010 taxes payable for payments of debt in February 2011.
Two resolutions need to be passed in order to close the district early. One would call the
2003A and 2003B Tax Increment Bonds for payment in February 2010 and the second
resolution would discontinue tax increment payments after taxes payable 2009. Both
resolutions would have to be approved on June 16 for submittal to Hennepin County by June
30.
With the approval it does make the City liable to make all debt service payments in February,
2010. Currently the district has two delinquent residential parcels for the first half taxes
payable 2009. If one commercial property is delinquent in October, the City may need to help
pay the last debt service payment.

4. Discussion Regarding Parking Restrictions in the Vicinity of Lions Park
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Summary
In December 2007, the City Council adopted parking restrictions in the vicinity of Lions Park.
These restrictions were in response to neighborhood concerns, which were expressed
regarding recreation activities programmed for the facilities in Lions Park. Council directed
staff to review the effectiveness of the restrictions and to report to City Council accordingly.
Based upon field observations by City Police and Parks and Recreation staff, the parking
restrictions appear to be working as anticipated. There were recently complaints regarding
failure on the part of the United States Postal Service to deliver mail. Residents have been
mailed a follow-up letter from Chief Altonen addressing that concern.
Attachments
Correspondence from Golden Valley Chief of Police, Stacy Altonen, dated June 1, 2009
(1 page)
Lions Park Parking Restrictions map (1 page)
June 1, 2009
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the City of Golden Valley received some
complaints about parking around Lions Park in recent weeks. As you may recall, in 2007 the
Neighborhood Traffic Safety Committee conducted a comprehensive review of parking-related
issues near Lions Park, including meeting with residents to obtain feedback. The current
parking restrictions (or lack thereof) are the result of that review and citizen recommendations,
all with the goal of providing enjoyment of Lions Park without unreasonably disrupting the
livability of area residents.
In the event you do encounter perceived parking violations, I would again like to remind you of
some common parking restrictions:
"Parking is prohibited on a sidewalk, in front of a public or private driveway, within an
intersection, within ten feet of the point of the curb nearest the fire hydrant, on a crosswalk,
within twenty feet of a crosswalk at any intersection, in a sign-posted fire lane on a public or
private property, within thirty feet upon the approach to any flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic
control signal located the side of a roadway, at any place where official signs prohibit or restrict
stopping, parking or both, on any boulevard, or in public parks between the hours of 10:00 p.m.
and 6:00 a.m. except at Brookview Community Center."
Residents who believe cars are illegally parked based on one or more of the ordinances listed
above should report violations by calling 911. When officers respond, they will assess the
situation to determine if a violation exists, and issue a citation and/or have the vehicle towed if
applicable.
Additionally, it is not illegal to park a vehicle in a manner that blocks a mailbox. However, the
United States Postal Service web site indicates postal carriers are expected to make delivery to
a blocked mailbox except if the blockage is a persistent occurrence on the part of the resident.
The Police Department cannot take any action in the instance of a blocked mailbox, but you
should contact the Postmaster if your mail is not delivered due to a vehicle parked in front of the
mailbox - according to Postal rules, the carrier is still supposed to make delivery.
The City of Golden Valley is committed to encouraging citizen feedback by taking all concerns
seriously, to ensure continued safety of our streets and a high livability level within our
neighborhoods.

Stacy Altonen

Prepared By

Summary
Discussions with neighborhoods located south of Wayzata Boulevard have occurred
regarding the appropriate design of the Interstate 394 frontage road in light of the
development that is underway in Saint Louis Park (The West End Project). Recently, the City
Council received an email from Gary Cohen regarding a process to design the improvements.
Staff wishes to discuss Mr. Cohen's request and the status of funding sources for the
proposed study and improvements with the City Council.

Subject: South Tyrol traffic meeting - some ideas
I've been meaning to send this to all of you since the day of the Golden Valley RunJWalk when I
chatted a bit with the mayor about this topic.
As of part of the ongoing DukeIWest End development issues - we've still got the South Tyrol traffic
issues to deal with. As a part of the latest approvals that traffic meeting is an outstanding
requirement. As you may recall, the January 2008 meeting really didn't take us anywhere. That
meeting was mostly a "here are the things the city will look at doing" versus a two way discussion on
the issues. For the "next" meeting (since we do still have to have one) - here's a thought on a
different way to run the next meeting.
Rather than have a "here's what we're going to do meeting", I would suggest a more open ended
meeting along the lines of the following:
1 ~ AAfter a general introduction period, break the residents in attendance into small groups versus a
large group meeting.
2. Have a series of selected topics that each individual group can work on - some suggested topics
could be:
a. traffic calming devices - speed bumps, cut outs, etc.
b. cui de sac concepts - closing of full access from some streets to the frontage road
c. intersection signs/signals - use of traffic lights, stop signs to control/direct traffic flow (might
need a MnDot
type to be involved in this group since we've been told that only MnDot can make some
decisions on these
items.
Each small group would have some time limit to discuss their topic (45 - 60 minutes?). Each small
group would need a non-neighbor facilitator to make this work best (bring in some bridge builders to
help in this role??).
3. Have each group report back to the larger group as to the ideas discussed in their group.
This meeting would certainly be thought provoking and might better serve to see what the
neighborhood really thinks. about ways to work with current and future traffic issues. As you know
from the various meetings and hearings over the last couple of years, the Duke development merely
adds to the already troublesome traffic issues in South Tyrol (from the Kennedy's addition to the
east).
I know this would be a very different public meeting than most - but this topic is far more vexing than
most. This type of format worked during the Envision process.. so it might be worth a try for a
neighborhood traffic meeting.
Given that summer is upon us soon..,and the retail area is scheduled to open in September...this next
meeting does need to take place sooner rather than later.
Thank~ for your consideration!

was placed on the ridge for a period of time, thereby creating traffic and
public safety concerns. These restrictions were in effect until the City of
Minneapolis reconstructed the bridge. In 2007, the City of Golden Valley
attempted to work with the MPRB regarding the traffic operations at
Theodore Wirth Parkway and Glenwood Avenue. Golden Valley proposed
to make improvements that would address the issues. However, Golden

Another infrastructure issue affects water quality. While the City of
Minneapolis is a member of the Bassett Creek Watershed Management
Commission, the MPRB is not. Bassett Creek, Sweeney Lake and Wirth

Bassett Creek Water Management Commission
2010 Budget and Levy
May 2009
The Joint and Cooperative Agreement establishing the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission
(BCWMC) sets forth the procedure required to adopt the annual budget. Article VIII, Subdivision 3,
provides that each member agrees to contribute each year to a general fund to be used for administrative
purposes and certain operating expenses. Half of the annual contribution of each member is based on
assessed valuation of property within the watershed and the other half on the ratio of area of each member
within the watershed to the total area of the Bassett Creek watershed. Subdivision 5 of Article VIII further
provides: "On or hefore July 1 of each year, the Board shall adopt a detailed budget for the ensuing year
and decide upon the total amount necessary for the general fund." Budget approval requires a two-thirds
vote (six Commissioners). Further, the Secretary "shall certify the budget on or before July I to the clerk
of each member governmental unit, together with a statement of the proportion of the budget to be
provided by each member." Each of the nine members then has until August 1 to file an objection to the
budget.
The 2010 budget was prepared by a Budget Committee consisting of Commissioner Michael Welch
(BCWMC Chair), Commissioner Ginny Black (BCWMC Vice Chair), Commissioner Linda Loomis
(Commission Treasurer), and Commissioner Pauline Langsdorf (Commission Secretary).
The BCWMC's "Second Generation" Watershed Management Plan was approved by the Minnesota
Board of Water and Soil Resources on August 25,2004, and adopted by the BCWMC on September 16,
2004. That plan includes a capital projects budget, which is funded by ad valorem taxes and has been
amended to include channel restoration projects. Commission activities have focused on implementation
of the Watershed Management Plan.
The proposed 2010 budget of $463,000 was adopted by nine commissioners voting in favor of the budget
at the BCWMC meeting on May 21,2009. The proposed 2010 budget is enclosed. Specific items in the
budget are discussed below.
1. Engineering services are budgeted at $256,000 in 2010. Many of the individual items have
remained the same from the 2009 budget. The following paragraphs summarize each of the
Engineering budget items.
. Technical Services-this item covers the day-to-day technical operations, such as preparing
for the Commission and T AC meetings, performing preliminary site reviews and
correspondence, and communications with the Commissioners, watershed communities,
developers, agencies, and other entities. The proposed 2010 budget is $110,000, which is the
same as the 2009 budget.
. Plat Reviews-at its December 15, 2005, meeting, the BCWMC instated a permit fee
effective January 1, 2006, and revised as of January 1,2009, to cover the expense of
reviewing development plans and improvement projects. The proposed 2010 budget for plat
reviews is $60,000, which are largely funded by permit fees. These expected permit fees are
shown in the 2010 budget under "2010 Assessments and Fees;" it is estimated that the
BCWMC will receive $44,780 in permit fees in 2010.
. Co1J1II1ission and T AC Meetings- this item covers the cost for the engineer to attend 12
monthly Commission meetings and six bimonthly T AC meetings. The proposed budget for
2010 is $13,000, the same as 2009, but more than the $9,506 spent in 2008. Previously, this
budget item was called Commission Meetings and not all TAC meeting were charged to this
2010 Budget and Levy. May 2009
1
item (including 2008). The increase from 2008 spent to 2009 budgeted reflects the engineer's
attendance at all Commission and T AC meetings.
. Surveys and Studies-the proposed budget for 2010 is $20,000. The intent of this budget
item is to cover the costs of conducting special studies, and addressing unanticipated issues,
questions, etc. that can arise during the year.
Water Quality/Monitoring-for 2010, this budget item includes detailed lake monitoring of
Medicine Lake, as part of the four-year monitoring cycle. Three Rivers Park District and the
City of Plymouth typically perform annual monitoring of Medicine Lake at one location. The
BCWMC detailed monitoring program includes monitoring two locations on Medicine Lake
on six to twelve occasions for selected parameters. Three Rivers Park District will collect and
analyze the total phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, pH and chlorophyll
a samples. Three Rivers Park District will collect the phytoplankton and zooplankton
samples, and Barr will analyze the samples. Barr will perform an aquatic survey on two
occasions and will prepare the final report.
. Water Quantity-this item covers the work associated with the BCWMC's lake and stream
gauging program. The proposed budget for 2010 is $11,000 (the same as 2009). The readings
have proved valuable to the communities for planning future development and as
documentation of the response of surface water bodies to above normal and below normal
precipitation.
The 2010 lake gauging program will consist of measuring water levels on Medicine Lake,
Sweeney Lake, Parkers Lake, Westwood Lake, Crane Lake (Ridgedale Pond), Northwood
Lake, Bassett Creek Park Pond and Wirth Park storage area. Two readings per month will be
taken during the period April 1 , 2010 through September 30, 2010. One reading per month
will be taken during the other months of the year.
The 2010 stream gauging program will consist of periodically reading stages or gauging the
stream at the new tunnel entrance, at the Theodore Wirth ParklT.H. 55 outlet structure, at
Highway 100 (main stem), at Wisconsin Avenue, at Sweeney Lake, at Medicine Lake, at
Winnetka Avenue (north branch), at 26th Avenue (plymouth Creek fish barrier), and at other
selected locations if periods of high flow occur.
The program also includes periodic surveys of benchmarks to ensure consistency with past
readings.
. Inspections-there are two separate budget items under this task:
o Watershed Inspections-this item covers the BCWMC's construction site erosion control
inspection program. The proposed budget for 2010 is $8,000; permit fees offset a portion
of the watershed inspection cost. The inspections have been valuable for correcting
erosion and sediment control practices which are not in conformance with BCWMC
policies. The inspections also verify that sites are developed in accordance with approved
plans. The program consists of inspecting active construction sites in the watershed once
every month. Erosion control inspections will begin April 2010 and extend through
October 2010. Selected sites may be inspected on two-week intervals to verify that
requested erosion control modifications have been completed. Critical work such as
. wetland or creek crossings and work adjacent to lakes and sensitive wetlands will be
inspected as necessary. BCWMC staffwill continue to coordinate the inspections with
respective contacts from each city. Following each inspection, a letter listing construction
projects and the improvement needed for effective erosion control will be sent to the
inspection department at each city where improvements are required.
20 I 0 Budget and Levy - May 2009

o Project Inspections--this item covers the BCWMC's annual inspection of the flood
control project system. The proposed budget for 2010 is $10,000. The inspection program
covers the flood control project features completed by the Commission between 1974 and
1996. The objective of the inspection program is to find and address erosion, settlement,
sedimentation, and structural issues. In accordance with the Bassett Creek Flood Control
Project Operation and Maintenance Manual (except as noted), the following project
features require annual inspection:
Minneapolis:
· Conduit (Double Box Culvert) - inspect double box culvert every five years
(2004,2009,2014,2019...)
· Deep Tunnel - dewater and inspect tunnel every 20 years. This inspection was
performed during 2008; the next inspection will be 2028

· Municipal Plan Review-this item covers the cost to review the member cities local water
management plans for conformance with the BCWMC Watershed Management Plan. The
proposed budget for 2010 is $4,000, which will cover the costs for reviewing up to two local
plans.
2. Administrator-this was a new budget item in 2008. The Administrator services budget was
reduced in 2010 to $15,000 from $35,000 in 2009. In 2008 the BCWMC underwent an operations
analysis conducted by an independent firm. The results of the analysis are guiding the BCWMC's
direction for addressing its administrator needs. The Administrator services budget reduction
reflects the BCWMC's recognition oftight city budgets, the likely inefficiencies that would be
realized early in the process of adding a new administrator, and the BCWMC's determination to
use a variety of contract providers (including current consultants) and board members to provide
critical assistance in priority target areas identified by the 2008 analysis.
3. Legal-this item covers basic legal services, which are budgeted at $18,500 for 2010.
4. Financial Management-this item covers services provided by the Deputy Treasurer at the City
of Golden Valley, which are budgeted for $3,000 in 2010.
5. Liability Insurance, Auditing and Bonding-this item is budgeted at $15,000 for 2010,
reflecting an increase in auditing services directed by expanded auditing regulations.
6. Administrative Services-this item covers administrative and secretarial services, including
mailing and copying, which are budgeted at $45,000 for 2010.
7. Public Relations & Outreach-there are three separate budget items under this task:
· Publications/Annual Report-$4,000 is budgeted in 2010 for preparing the BCWMC's 2009
annual report
. Website-$4,500 is budgeted in 2010 for maintaining, updating, and making improvements
to the BCWMC website
. WOMP-$10,OOO is budgeted for 2010, which covers the BCWMC's costs related to the
Watershed Outlet Monitoring Program (WOMP) station on Bassett Creek. The Minneapolis
Park and Recreation Board has been running the WOMP station for the last several years in a
cooperative effort with Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. The MPRB handles
the sample and data collection tasks, MCES performs maintenance, and Barr provides
assistance with the rating curve. The 2010 budget includes $5,000 for MPRB to operate the
WOMP station.
8. Demonstration/Education Grants- this item is the BCWMC grant program, which is managed
by the Education Committee; the budget for 2010 is $5,000.
9. Watershed Education Partnerships-this was a new budget item in 2009 and includes
participation in the Metropolitan Council's Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP), the
Hennepin Conservation District River Watch Program, Metro WaterShed Partners, the Blue
Thumb program, and the Metro Blooms Rain Garden program. The budget for 2010 is $15,000.
10. Education and Public Outreach-the 2010 budget for this item is $4,000, which includes
anticipated expenses for brochures, fact sheets, native seed packets, and the Joint Education and
Public Outreach Committee administrative costs.
11. PublicCommunications--the 2010 budget for this item is $3,000 and covers costs related to the
publication of hearing and special meeting notices in newspapers and journals and the publication
and distribution of other required communications that may be necessary and would be separate
from the Web site or education and public outreach communications.
2010 Budget and Levy - May 2009

12. Erosion/Sediment (Channel Maintenance)-these ftmds are for creek and stream bank erosion
repair and sediment removal projects that are not ftmded as a channel restoration project through
the BCWMC's Capital Improvement Program. The amount budgeted for collection in 2010 is
$25,000. The money collected goes into the BCWMC's Creek and Streambank Trunk System
Maintenance, Repair and Sediment Removal Fund (the Channel Maintenance Fund). There is
currently $172,000 in the Channel Maintenance Fund; to-date about $3,000 of the ftmd has been
used on channel maintenance projects.
The BCWMC Watershed Management Plan (Section 7.2.2) calls for the BCWMC to use the
Creek and Streambank Trunk System Maintenance, Repair and Sediment Removal Fund to
finance the:
. Maintenance and repairs needed to restore a creek or streambank area to the designed flow
rate.
. Work needed to restore a creek or stream bank area that has either resulted in damage to a
structure, or where structural damage is imminent, based on an assessment of benefits.
. Portion of a project that provides BCWMC benefits, including reduced potential for flooding,
mitigation of water quality impairment, or minimizing the potential for water quality
impairment.
. BCWMC's share of maintenance projects to be applied for by the cities that have a regional
benefit, or to partially ftmd smaller, localized projects that cities wish to undertake.
13. Long-Term Maintenance (Flood Control Project)-these ftmds are for projects to repair and
maintain structures associated with the BCWMC Flood Control Project. The BCWMC Plan calls
for annual assessments of $25,000 to the fund, and for the ftmd balance to be maintained at (but
not exceed) $1 million. The current fund balance is about $750,000. The proposed 2010 budget!
assessment is $25,000.
14. TMDL Studies-this item was added to the 2005 budget ($35,000) in anticipation of the state
mandate to prepare Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies on impaired waters within the
watershed. This budget item includes ftmding for BCWMC participation in TMDL studies not
otherwise funded through other sources and also includes BCWMC preparation for future TMDL
studies that likely will be necessary. The TMDL Studies ftmd is currently at $58,000 and another
$10,000 will be added to the fund in 2009. The 2010 budget amount for TMDL studies is
$10,000. TMDL studies for Medicine Lake, Sweeney Lake, and Wirth Lake are underway.
Northwood Lake and Bassett Creek in the watershed are also listed as impaired waters (parkers
Lake is also listed as impaired for mercury). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is
encouraging watershed districts and organizations to address multiple impairments within their
jurisdictions where possible. The BCWMC is determining the feasibility of a watershed-wide
TMDL for 2010 to address multiple impairments of Bassett Creek. Additional data may need to
be collected from Bassett Creek in 2010 in support of TMDL activities; these could include E.
coli and streamflow data.
15. Proposed 2010 Capital Projects-For 2010, the cost of the Plymouth Creek channel restoration
project (PC-I) is estimated to be $965,200 and the cost of the Bassett Creek Main Stem channel
restoration project (Highway 100 to Regent Ave) is estimated to be $780,000. The total estimated
cost of the projects expected to start in 2010 is $1,745,200. For the projects expected to start in
2010, iUs proposed that $1,000,000 be assessed for 2010 and $745, 200 be assessed in 2011.
Note that other proj ects are proposed to start in 2011; the costs (or partial costs) of those projects
would be in addition to the suggested $745,200 assessment.

At its May 21,2009 meeting, the BCWMC Commissioners also considered the assessment on the cities.
The 2010 assessment was adopted by nine commissioners voting in favor to levy $414,150 for the 2010
fiscal year, as compared with the $449,875 for 2009 adopted in 2008, based on the following:
