Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
July 12, 2011
Agenda Item
1. Submittal to Minnesota Department of Transportation for FY 2013 Metro Municipal
Agreement Program for Improvements to TH 55 and Winnetka Avenue
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Mark Ray, PE, Engineering Technician
Summary
Over the past year, City staff has been actively engaged in the planning and development
efforts in the area along Harold Avenue between Winnetka Avenue and Glenwood Avenue.
Based on proposed changes in zoning and a potential redevelopment, identifying the long-
term plan for this area has been an ongoing process.
In response to the zoning changes, the City retained Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to
prepare a traffic study for the rezoning of the lots along the north side of Harold Avenue
between Winnetka Avenue and Glenwood Avenue. In the SEH report, the intersection of
Winnetka Avenue and TH 55 is identified as an intersection with existing operational
challenges.
This spring, MnDOT began installation of fiber optic communications lines along TH 55 to
support improved real time traffic information and traffic signal coordination. This summer,
MnDOT will be using the new communications nefinrork when it implements a new traffic
signal timing plan for TH 55 from Theodore Wirth Parkway west to Arrowhead Road in
Medina.
Between the traffic study identifying operational challenges at Winnetka Avenue and TH 55
and MnDOT's traffic signal retiming project for TH 55, the area is poised to benefit from all
the non-geometric changes to the intersection as possible. While these changes may help
relieve the existing traffic issues, a long-term, geometric change is needed to fully realize
operational benefits. MnDOT has no programmed geometric changes for the intersection of
Winnetka Avenue and TH 55 in its short- or long-term plan. Therefore, it is only under the
City's initiative that any improvements will be implemented. A potential funding source for the
needed improvements was announced by MnDOT in early June of this year.
MnDOT Metro Municipal Agreement Proqram
The Metro Municipal Agreement Program (MMAP) provides funding for construction projects
that are developed and administered by local agencies that provide a benefit to both the local
community and the trunk highway system. The funds are intended to pay for a portion of the
construction costs of a project. In FY 2013, the program has $4 million dollars allocated for
projects. The maximum award for any single project is $650,000 for construction, plus 8% for
construction engineering and inspection, for a total of$702,000. Project selection will occur in
November 2011 with the funds becoming available July 1, 2012.
Project Coordination
During the summer of 2012, Harold Avenue is scheduled to be reconstructed as part of the
pavement management program (PMP). The western limit of this project is Winnetka Avenue
which is within the proposed project at Winnetka Avenue and TH 55. Since the MMAP
funding becomes available July 1, 2012, it is conceivable that the work at TH 55 and
Winnetka Avenue could be done during the same summer as the PMP work. While the two
different projects may be completed under two different contracts, the disturbance to the
residents and traffic would be limited to one construction season.
Support for MMAP Submittal
City staff has spoken with the MnDOT consultant that is developing the new traffic signal
timing plan for the entire TH 55 corridor. In discussing the proposed change at Winnetka
Avenue, the consultant noted that this modification would be a significant improvement and
would benefit traffic signal timing along the TH 55 corridor through Golden Valley. Existing
congestion at the intersection is currently driving some of the constraints that are put on
potential improvements to the traffic signal coordination.
City staff is in the process of contacting MnDOT and County engineers to gain their feedback
and insight into this potential project. It is anticipated that other agency staff members will
support this project based on its benefit to traffic operations and accommodation for future
redevelopment opportunities.
Citv Participation
The MMAP includes a cost split befinreen the local agency and MnDOT that includes City
funding of 40% of the project costs. It is anticipated that Golden Valley will utilize Municipal
State Aid construction funds for its portion of the construction costs.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 9,2011
TO: Mark Ray,Gry of Golden Valley
CC: Kevin Schwartz,Mn/DOT
FROM: Mike Anderson,PE,PTOE
SUBJECT: TH 55 and wnnetka Avenue—Qty Improvemerrt Project
As requested,Alliant has completed a preliminary analysis of the TH 55/Winnetka Avenue intersection.
The analysis was conducted at the request of Mn/DOT and the City of Golden Valley to quantify the
estimated intersection operation performance with a proposed City improvement project.The City
improvement project includes the following:
� Construction of a dual left turn lane on both the northbound and southbound approaches.The
southbound exclusive right turn lane will be reassigned to a shared through/right turn lane.
• Converting the existing split phase operation to northbound/southbound protected left turn
operation.
The operation analysis quantified the estimated improvement in totai intersedion delay(vehicle-hour),
overall intersertion delay(seconds/vehicle),vehicle stops and fuel consumption.Table 1 documents the
results of the analysis.Alliant is currently working with Mn/DOT to develop new optimized timing plans
for TH 55.The proposed optimized timing plans,which are scheduled for implementation in July 2011,
were used to complete the analysis.
The analysis found an estimated 8%reduction in intersection delay, l0%reduction in vehicle stops and
6%reduction in fuel consumption as a result of the proposed City improvement project. It is suggested
the City and Mn/DOT explore the potential for installation of flashing yellow arrow left turn operation as
part of the project:Protected/permissive or permissive only operation could be considered during off
peak periods,which would be expected to result in further intersection delay reduction.

2. Douglas Drive Preliminary Design Update
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Ron Nims, Public Works Project Coordinator
Summary
At the January 5, 2010 City Council meeting, the Council formally authorized the Mayor to
request that the Douglas Drive Project (TH 55 to Medicine Lake Road) be placed in the
Hennepin County Capital Improvement Plan for right-of-way acquisition in 2015 and
construction in 2016. The estimated cost of the project is $20,327,500. The City's portion of
the project cost is estimated at $9,711,400. In general terms, Golden Valley is responsible for
paying for all improvements associated with city-owned utilities and lighting. The City and
Hennepin County will share the cost of design, relocating the overhead utilities underground,
street reconstruction, right-of-way, and landscaping.
The City has received notice from Transit for Livable Communities of an award in the amount
$1,050,000. The City is proposing to utilize this funding for design and some right-of-way
acquisition. The City Council authorized a contract with WSB &Associates, Inc. on
November 16, 2010 to prepare the preliminary design and develop the necessary
environmental documents. Staff will also be applying for MnDOT funding to construct safety
improvements at TH 55 and Douglas Drive in MnDOT's fiscal year 2014 (for construction in
July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014). MnDOT is currently performing signal improvements along
TH 55. Staff has requested MnDOT delay the planned TH 55/Douglas Drive signal
improvements until 2013 to allow better coordination of both projects.
Staff will update the Council on project status and the preferred layout that has been
developed and approved by the Hennepin County Transportation Department, HRA staff, and
Transit for Livable Communities. Staff intends to formally present the layout at the July 19,
2011 City Council meeting. At that time, staff will request the Council to authorize the
Municipal Consent of the project.

4. General Land Use Plan Amendment Proposal - 345 Pennsylvania Avenue South
Prepared By
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner
Summary
Lake West Development is proposing to develop the property at 345 Pennsylvania Avenue
South. The proposed development would include developing the southern half of the property
with single family homes, while leaving the existing office building on the north end of the
property in place. The developer has a purchase agreement in place for the property.
To implement this project, the developer must first:
1. Petition the City Council to amend the General Land Use Plan Map by changing the land
use designation on the south end of the property from "Mixed Use" to "Low Density
Residential."
2. Apply to rezone the south end of the property from "I-394 Mixed Use" to "Single Family R-
1 Residential."
3. Apply for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) permit for the site. This process would
include the subdivision of the property into seven total lots.
The proposed development would need to be in a PUD because the lot sizes would not meet
minimum Code requirements (however; the overall density would be five or fewer lots per
acre, satisfying the "Low Density" General Land Use Plan Map designation). In addition, two
of the lots would need to obtain access easements through the newly configured parking lot
of the office building.
Staff seeks Council's direction in whether or not to proceed with amending the General Land
Use Plan Map to allow this project to proceed in the planning process.

'f0: Mayor,Mernbers of the City Council and Professional�taff
SUBJECT: Comp Plan Amendment t�nd Rezoning—345 Pennsylvania Avenue South
DATE: June 30TH,2011
Lake West Development is pleased to submit this 61ot,single family residential concept plan for reaoning
atid comp plan axnendmeni consideration.Currently this property is:zoned I-394 Mixed Use—which
allows resiciential—rnultiple family dwellings(3 or more units)and all permitted uses in the Commercial
Zoning District for the City—inciud'rng office and warehouse.
At this time,Lake West Development is interested in develaping the sc�uth half of tl�e site into 6 detached,
single family lats 50'to 60' wide and 120'deep{approx 7000 SF}.We currently have purchase
agreements with Speak of the Work Church International for the entire site,including the existing office
building located on the north half of the property. It is our intention to keep the office building as is and
relocate the parking to meet the City's parking requirements.
Lake West Development looked at other options for developing this site,with and without removing the
existing office building. Several townhome layouts were looked at,but without removing the office
building,the site was too small for all the builders shown the site. It was al�o determined after extensive
analysis that removing the e�cisting office building was cost prohibitive.
MASTER PLAN
The master plan generally divides the site into two uses.l'he north half will consist of the existing office
building and required pazking.The rec�uired parking for the office building—per discussion with City
staff is S4 parking spaces.This is based on the following breakdown of areas:
8000 SF of office(1 stall per 250 SF)=32 stalls required
7937 SF of open workroom/studio(1 stall per 400 SF)=20 stall required
SSflO SF af warehause(1 stal]per 3000 SF)=2 stalls required
Total parking required=54 parking stalls
The south half of the site shall be divided into 6 detached single family residential lots. The proposed
housing praduct is a family orientated two story product similar to the nevv hame at S 10 Pennsylvania
Avenue developed across the street b�Lake West Development.The hauses shall be 2200 SF to 2900 SF
with three to five bedrooms and vary in price from$350,000 to�450,000.The lat sizes proposed are
smaller khan City standards far R-2 zoning district(11,000 SF). L,ots will vary frorn b000 S�to 7200 SF
(approximately 50' to 60'wide and I20' deep). The site would be rezoned to residential PUD to
accommodate the smaller lot sizes.In association with the requested rezoning of the property,a comp
plan amendment would be required to allow the rezoning.
�vS�14250 Valiey View Rd.,Sui#e 123�Eden Prairie,MN 55344-3534(Phone:952.6�6.Q236�Fax:952.646.Q290�wwav.evs•eng.com
COMPATIBILTY AND CONNEC`TIVTTY
The smaller lot single-family homes proposed on the project's south side shall be designed to complement
the existing homes on the west side on Pennsylvania Avenue. Single-farr�ily homes also provide a good
transition from the future higher densiry hornes and commercial development to the east and south. These
homes will help in praviding a diversity of nousing in this area and are desirable in ehe current market.
ROADS A.KD UTILITIES
The elcisting of�ice building has street access from Pennsylvania Avenue.The proposed plan does nat
change the general location of the access.Access for all the residential lots shall be fram Pennsylvania
Avenue.The two easterly lots shall have a shared access along the north side of Lot 1.
Water and sewer connections for the proposed residential lots are proposed from the existing lines located
in Pennsylvania Avenue.Tl1e connection shall require reconstruction of the disturbed areas of the road
surface. Storm water will be directed to the proposed pond in the southeast corner of tlle site.
We appreciate your consideration of our Concept plan,camp plan amendment and rezoning of 345
Pennsylvanta Avenue and look forward to addressing your comments at the assigned Council warkshop.
Thank you.
