Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
June 14, 2011
Present: Mayor Loomis and Council Members, Freiberg, Pentel, Scanlon and Shaffer, City
Manager Tom Burt, Finance Director Sue Virnig, Police Chief Stacy Altonen, Director of
Public Works Jeannine Clancy, Chief of Fire and Inspection Services Mark Kuhnly,
Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes, Battalion Chief John Crelly, Battalion
Chief Tim Gerrits and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
The meeting began at 6:30 pm in the Council Conference Room.
Request to Permit Cavalia Show
Mark Grimes explained that staff was approached by St. Louis Park staff about the
possibility of using the undeveloped Duke office site for a Cirque de Soleil type of show
called Calvlia. He introduced Ann Dubois, a representative of Cavalia who showed the
Council a short video explaining the show. Grimes stated that staff is seeking direction
from the Council on the following issues: whether they would like to allow Cavalia to
operate at this site, allowing Cavalia to either submit a Conditional Use Permit application
or amending the language in the City Code to allow for temporary uses and if Golden
Valley should enter into a joint powers agreement with St. Louis Park for permits and
operation control for the Cavalia operation. Grimes explained that staff has had preliminary
discussions with St. Louis Park about addressing traffic control, police and fire operations
and sanitary sewer capacity, among other issues, through a Joint Powers Agreement that
would delegate these responsibilities to St. Louis Park if the use is permitted.
After discussion the Council consensus was to proceed with amending the City Code
language to allow for temporary uses and to work on a joint powers agreement with St.
Louis Park if the use is permitted.
May Tornado Damage Update
Mark Kuhnly discussed the tornado that occurred on May 22 and stated that Battalion
Chiefs John Crelly and Tim Gerrits were in attendance to provide more information. John
Crelly showed the Council a PowerPoint presentation that illustrated the time chronology of
the day's storm, the path of the storm and the damage it caused. Jeannine Clancy gave an
overview of the Public Works role in clearing streets in Golden Valley and in Minneapolis.
Mark Kuhnly referred to a map of the Hennepin County Siren Zones and noted that one
siren in Golden Valley did not sound because of a power outage. He suggested that the
Council may want to consider installing a battery back-up on the City's sirens in the future.
He stated that he will be attending a meeting regarding FEMA's damage assessment to
determine if this storm damage will qualify for federal grants and funds. The Council
thanked staff for their quick response and hard work.
Implementation of Voluntary Standard Measures Program Set by Council on Local
Results and Innovation
Sue Virnig reminded the Council that at their February Council/Manager meeting they
received information from the Council on Local Results and Innovation and the Standard
Measures Program. At that time the City Council consensus was to wait for the final report
from the State Legislature. The final report has now been issued so now staff is looking for
direction on whether the Council would like to participate in this voluntary program.
Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
June 14, 2011 — Page 2
The Council discussed various ways to be innovative and to measure the quality of
service. After discussion the Council consensus was to not participate in the program at
this point, but to perhaps opt in at some point in the future.
Human Rights Commission Status
Stacy Altonen stated that the Human Rights Commission is down to two members and
over the past couple years there have been very few applicants who have applied to serve
on the Commission. She noted that there is also a long record of cancelled meetings due
to the inability to maintain a quorum. She said she would like direction from the Council on
how to move forward with this Commission.
The Council agreed that human rights issues are very important and discussed possible
ways to restructure this Commission including having fewer members, better defining their
role, issues they would like the Commission to be working on and how to make the
Commission more effective. After Council discussion Mayor Loomis stated she would
contact the two remaining Commission members and discuss having them work with the
City on organizing a community focus group to help decide what this Commission should
be focusing on and how it could look in the future.
Council Salaries
Sue Virnig explained that the City Code provides for the Council to review and consider
amending Mayor and Council salaries every two years. Staff prepared a survey of salaries
of elected officials in other metropolitan cities. Due to the poor economy, the Council
determined that it would not like to entertain salary increases this year. Sue Virnig stated
that the Council will take formal action on the ordinance at the June 21, 2011 regular City
Council meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:15 pm.

Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 27, 2011
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday,
June 27, 2011. Chair Waldhauser called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Cera, Kisch, Kluchka, McCarty, Schmidgall,
Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present was Director of Planning and Development
Mark Grimes and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
1. Approval of Minutes
June 13, 2011 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Kisch referred to the first sentence in the first paragraph on page 2 and stated that he
would like the words "occupancy load" changed to "maximum number of clients the
daycare facility can be licensed for".
Kisch referred to the first sentence in the first paragraph on page 3 and stated that he
would like the sentence clarified to ask if the client load increases would the number of
parties also increase.
Waldhauser referred to the fifth paragraph on page 3 and stated that she would like the
sentence clarified that she wanted to know the applicant's plans for screening the
dumpsters.
MOVED by Schmidgall, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to approve
the June 13, 2011 minutes with the above noted changes.
2. Informal Public Hearing —Conditional Use Permit Amendment— 1930
Douglas Drive - CU 42-03 Amendment#2
Applicant: Northern Tier Retail, LLC (SuperAmerica)
Addresses: 1930 Douglas Drive
Purpose: To allow the existing SuperAmerica store to remain open for business
24 hours per day. The property is located in the Commercial zoning
district.
Grimes explained the applicant's request to amend their existing Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to remain open for business 24 hours per day rather than 6 am to 11 pm as their
current CUP allows. He noted that in 1996 SuperAmerica came before the Planning
Commission with the same request. At that time the Planning Commission tabled their
request in order to allow SuperAmerica time to discuss the issues with the residents in the
neighborhood. The 1996 proposal was ultimately withdrawn by the applicant.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 27, 2011
Page 2
Grimes referred to the site plan and photos of the property and discussed the following
concerns he has regarding this proposal. He would like an acoustical engineer's report
showing that noise from the loudspeakers cannot be heard at any of the property lines.
He would like the applicant to ensure they are in compliance with the City's sign
ordinance and he would like a lighting plan submitted to ensure compliance with the City's
lighting ordinance.
Waldhauser asked if the applicant has re-done the loudspeaker system since the last time
they requested a CUP amendment. Grimes said no and noted that a condition in their
existing CUP stated that there can be no use of the loudspeakers after 10 pm.
Segelbaum asked about other gas stations in the area which may be open 24-hours.
Waldhauser stated there is a 24-hour gas station at Hwy. 100 and Duluth near Byerlys.
Grimes stated there is also a 24-hour SuperAmerica at I-394 and Louisiana.
Schmidgall asked if the speaker system is a requirement of the Deputy Fire Marshal.
Grimes said yes and explained that state law requires there to be a way for employees to
communicate with people at the pumps.
Kisch asked how this SuperAmerica fits in with the Douglas Drive Corridor Study. Grimes
noted that SuperAmerica fit in with the study of the area and the study did assume there
would be a retail use at this corner.
Karla Bigham, Public Affairs Coordinator/Paralegal, Northern Tier Energy/SuperAmerica,
referred to questions regarding the use of the loudspeakers. She stated that they would
consider ceasing the use of the loudspeaker unless it is for an emergency.
Cera suggested SuperAmerica have a neighborhood meeting similar to what was
requested as a part of the 1996 proposal. Tracy Pink, District Manager, SuperAmerica,
stated that he would be happy to meet with the neighbors. Bigham added that would
also be happy to look at the lighting and sign ordinances to make sure they are in
compliance.
Kluchka asked the applicant's if they would consider making their gas pumps credit card
only, all of the time. Bigham said they could consider doing that during the overnight
hours. Kluchka added that he would also like to limit the use of television screens at the
pumps. Pink said they currently have no plans to install television screens.
Kisch suggested additional screening (fence or landscaping) along the east side of the
site.
Segelbaum asked the applicants if they have considered having the gas pumps
available 24 hours per day, but not the store. Bigham said they have not had that
discussion. Pink added that they would like to have someone on site in case of an
emergency.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Minutes of the Golden Vailey Planning Commission

Bob Parzyck, 2005 Brunswick Ave N, said his concern is noise. Not so much from the
loudspeakers but from cars beeping when they are being locked. He added that nothing
good happens after 11 pm.
Leann Moss, 2020 Douglas Dr N, said she agrees the beeping cars are noisy. She said
a lot of people walk through her yard and leave trash in her yard and she doesn't want
more people and more trash in her yard. There is also a big light at the SuperAmerica
store that shines in through her living room window.
Paul Snodgrass, 2010 Douglas Dr N, said Golden Valley is nice and quiet at 11 pm and
he wants to keep it that way. He said that adding trees and changing the lighting at
SuperAmerica isn't going to stop the engine noise. He expressed concern about people
sneaking around the neighborhood and said he is opposed to this request and would
like to keep it the way it is.
Marcel Lamour, 2000 Douglas Dr N, said he is the closest neighbor to SuperAmerica
and he can hear the noise from the loudspeakers. He said he is worried about his house
being robbed and he is against the proposal.
Joseph Mastrian, 2101 Brunswick Ave N, said this isn't going to help traffic, the police
are going to have to do more surveillance and there is no reason for SuperAmerica to
be open later than 11 pm.
Paul Snodgrass, 2010 Douglas Dr N, reiterated that changing the lighting and planting
trees is not going to help the general roar. He added that he is also concerned that
allowing SuperAmerica to be open 24 hours will draw people from Minneapolis.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to speak, Waldhauser closed the public
hearing.
Kluchka suggested tabling the applicant's request to allow them time to have a
neighborhood meeting. Commissioners Segelbaum, Cera and Kisch agreed that more
time would allow the applicant to address the issues they've heard at this meeting and
in the staff report. McCarty said that if SuperAmerica is willing to comply with the
requirements there would not be a need to table their request. Schmidgall said he is
inclined to recommend approval of the request with the condition that more screening
be added. He said he feels the site could really be improved with better lighting,
screening, fencing, etc.
Waldhauser asked the applicants if they would like the Planning Commission to table
their request, vote on their request or if they would like to withdraw their request.
Bigham said their preference would be to meet with Mr. Grimes and decide from there if
they would like to go forward with their request and/or a neighborhood meeting.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to table this
request.

3. Continued Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—
Amending Variance-Related Language in Section 11.90: Administration of
City Code —ZO00-87
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To amend the standards for granting variances due to recent
legislation regarding "practical difficulties"
Grimes reminded the Commission that this item was tabled at their last meeting. Since
then language has been added to better define practical difficulties. Language has also
been added to synchronize the approval and appeal process stating that a variance shall
not be effective until 30 days after it is approved in order to allow an aggrieved party to
appeal.
Waldhauser asked if a 30-day appeal process is typical. Segelbaum said he believes the
City of Minnetonka has a 15-day appeal process. He said he is in favor of having a
waiting period, but feels 30 days is too long to make an applicant wait to start a project.
Schmidgall said he feels the language proposed to the Commission at their last meeting
was fine. He said that making an applicant wait 30 days after they've received a variance
is onerous. Waldhauser agreed.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to speak,
Waldhauser closed the public hearing.
Kisch said he agrees with the language that was added to define practical difficulties, but
he disagrees with adding a 30-day waiting period for the issuance of a variance because
it is burdensome to the applicant. Waldhauser agreed.
Cera suggested requiring a 7 to 10 day waiting period.
McCarty said he is not in favor of making an applicant wait to start their project. He added
that he liked the language in the proposed ordinance before it was amended. He referred
to Subdivision 4(C)(3) on page 5 and said the terms "construction has commenced" and
"orderly way" are ambiguous and need to be better defined.
Kluchka said his questions and concerns from the last meeting have been addressed so
he is in favor of recommending approval of the proposed language as it has been written.
MOVED by Kisch, seconded by Kluchka to recommend approval of the proposed
language minus the sentence in Subdivision C(2) which reads as follows: The final written
Order of the Board of Zoning Appeals shall not be effective, nor any permits be granted
thereon, until the later of the expiration of the thirty (30) days after the Order or, if
appealed to the City Council, the Council's service of a written report of its findings and
determinations.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 27, 2011
Page 5
MOVED by McCarty to amend the motion in order to strike the added language in
Subdivision C(3) referring to "construction has commenced" and work is proceeding in an
"orderly way", seconded by Kisch. Upon a roll call vote, the vote was as follows:
Cera — No, Kisch —Yes, Kluchka — No, McCarty—Yes, Schmidgall —Yes, Segelbaum — No
Waldhauser— No
Waldhauser asked for a roll call vote regarding recommending approval of the original
motion listed above (the motion before McCarty's amendment). Upon a roll call vote, the
vote was as follows:
Cera —Yes, Kisch —Yes, Kluchka—Yes, McCarty—Yes, Schmidgall —Yes, Segelbaum — No
Waldhauser—Yes
4. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—Adding Language
to the Zoning Code regarding Temporary Uses —ZO00-88
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To add language to the Zoning Code to allow for temporary uses
Grimes explained that the current Zoning Code doesn't have a way to permit temporary
uses so the City Council has asked the Planning Commission to consider adding
language to the Zoning Code regarding temporary uses. He discussed a request the City
recently received from Cavalia wanting to operate a large Cirque de Soleil-like event with
horses.
Waldhauser stated that smaller events might have a hard time meeting the proposed new
requirements.
Cera stated he liked the recycling component of the ordinance and suggested language
regarding organic recovery be added as well.
Kisch questioned how the City would define which types of events or uses would fall
within this ordinance. He added that the language allowing a use for 120 days seems
excessive or arbitrary. Grimes said the Council could address these items and evaluate
them to the degree they want.
Segelbaum questioned if the proposed language gives the City broad enough discretion if
there is a smaller event that would not require strict adherence to the requirements listed
in the proposed ordinance. He also suggested adding language regarding reimbursement
of City costs and resources. Grimes noted that the City does have the right to charge
applicants for any costs the City incur. Grimes said the Council could amend the
ordinance language in the future if there is something that needs to be changed.
Kluchka asked about the price of a Temporary Use I'ermit. Grimes explained that all fees
are determined in the City°s fee schedule which is set by Council.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 27, 2011
Page 6
Segelbaum asked if the Planning Commission would review future temporary use permit
requests. Grimes said the Council could choose to have the Planning Commission review
the requests.
Kluchka suggested removing the language regarding events not exceeding 120 days so
the City isn't limiting itself. Grimes agreed that the Council could decide what "temporary"
means.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Waldhauser closed the public hearing.
McCarty suggested changing the title of the ordinance to Temporary Events instead of
Temporary Uses. The Commission consensus was to leave the title Temporary Uses but
to remove the words "Carnivals, Festivals, etc." McCarty also suggested adding "farmers'
markets" to the list of examples in Subdivision 2(A) and using the words "but not limited
to" more consistently.
Kluchka suggested adding language regarding the length of time for an event as criteria
number 7 in Subdivision 2(A).
MOVED by Cera to recommend approval, with the above noted additions/changes, to add
language to the Zoning Code allowing for temporary uses.
MOVED by McCarty to amend the motion to change the language in Subdivision 2(A) to
read "The City Council may permit in any nonresidential use district for a temporary use
such as carnivals, circuses, festivals but not adding "as established by the City Council" if
a length of time criteria is established as number 7 in the requirements. Cera accepted
the amendment to the motion, Kluchka seconded the motion and the motion carried
unanimously.

Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
June 28, 2011
A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday,
June 28, 2011 at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Vice Chair
Nelson cailed the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Members Maxwell and Nelson, and Planning Commission
Representatives Kisch and Segelbaum. Also present were City Planner Joe Hogeboom,
Planning Intern Michael Simmons and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Planning
Commissioner McCarty was absent.
I. Approval of Minutes —August 24, 2010 Special Meeting and September 28, 2010
Regular Meeting
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Kisch and motion carried unanimously to approve the
August 24, 2010 and September 28, 2010 minutes as submitted.
Hogeboom discussed the variance legislation recently passed by the State. He stated that
there are two notable changes from the way the Board considered variances in the past.
One, staff does not make recommendations and finro; the Board is asked to make findings
regarding their decisions.
II. The Petitions are:
924 Adeline Lane (11-06-01)
Jane McDonald Black and Archie Black, Applicants
Request: Waiver from Section 11.65 Shoreland Management, Subd. 5(A)
Zoning Provisions
• 7 ft. off the required 75 ft. to a distance of 68 ft. at its closest point to
Ordinary High Water Mark.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new garage addition.
Hogeboom explained the applicants' request to remove their existing 2-stall garage and
replace it with a 3-stall garage because, according to the applicants, their existing garage
is no longer structurally sound. He referred to a survey of the property and noted the that
the proposed garage would be located 68 feet at its closest point to the �rdinary High
Water Mark (OHWM) of Sweeney Lake rather than 75 feet as required by the Zoning
Code. Hogeboom also noted that the front of the existing garage is located 20.5 feet
from the front property line and explained that the City Council allowed the front yard
setback for properties on this street to be 20 feet when the property was platted.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
June 28, 2011
Page 2
Hogeboom added that the proposal was sent to the DNR for review, but they had no
comments.
Nelson noted that the proposed addition won't be any closer to the OHWM than the
existing house and it will, in fact, follow the same plane as the house.
Segelbaum asked about the front of the house along the cul-de-sac being only 10 feet
from the property line. Hogeboom stated that a variance was granted from the front yard
property line. Segelbaum noted that the DNR in reviewing past variance requests for this
property stated that a 50-foot setback from the creek would be adequate. Hogeboom
said that is correct.
Jane McDonald-Black, Applicant, stated that has an engineer's report showing that their
garage is not structurally sound. She stated that the neighbor's house to the north is only
30 feet from the OHWM. She showed the Board renderings of what the proposed
addition would look like and stated that the third garage stall will be set back slightly and
the addition will match the rest of the existing house.
Kisch noted that there was a discrepancy between the dimensions of the garage shown
on the plans versus the dimensions shown on the survey. Mark Peterson, Builder for the
project, explained the dimensions of the proposed garage and stated that the back of the
addition will be in alignment with the back of the existing home and will not be any closer
to the OHWM than the requested 68 feet.
Maxwell noted the application stated that the neighbors to the north were out of town
until mid-June. He asked the applicant if she has since talked with them about the
proposal. McDonald-Black said she has reviewed her plans with her neighbor and they
fully support them.
Nelson opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Nelson closed the public hearing.
Kisch said he doesn't think the proposal is unreasonable because the configuration of
the lot leaves little buildable area, the applicant isn't requesting any additional variances
and this house would still one of the furthest away from the lake. Nelson agreed and
added that it will improve the look of the neighborhood. Segelbaum agreed and added
that the need for the variance was not caused by the landowner and the proposed
project won't negatively impact the neighborhood. Maxwell agreed.
MOVED by Kisch, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried unanimously to approve the
variance request for 7 ft. off the required 75 ft. to a distance of 68 ft. at its closest point to
Ordinary High VVater Mark to allow for the construction of a new garage addition finding
that the property owner is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner, the
configuration of the lot is unique and the proposed addition won't alter the character of
the locality.

Lar_ry Shapiro/Provident Real Estate, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District (R-1),
Subd. 11(3)(b) Side Yard Setback Requirements
• 4.6 ft. off the required 12.5 ft. to a distance of 7.9 ft. at its closest
point to side yard (south) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new garage addition.
Hogeboom referred to a survey of the property and discussed the applicant's request to
construct a larger 2-stall garage into the side yard setback area.
Segelbaum asked if the existing garage is going to remain and be expanded or if it will be
demolished and rebuilt.
Larry Shapiro/Provident Real Estate, Applicant, stated that they have made significant
improvements to the property since they've owned it. He explained his proposal to
repave the driveway, extend the existing garage approximately 5 '/z feet into the side yard
setback, add a new door in the middle and an access door to the back yard. He showed
the Board photos of the property and the area where the proposed new garage would be
located. He added that the new garage won't impinge on the neighbor's view.
Kisch noted there was a discrepancy in the garage dimensions shown on the survey
versus what is shown on the plans. Shapiro discussed the interior dimensions of the
proposed garage and said he would make sure the garage is built 7.9 feet away from the
south property line as proposed.
Segelbaum asked about the width of the proposed new driveway. Shapiro explained his
intent to bring new concrete to edge of the new garage where there is currently asphalt.
Nelson opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Nelson closed the public hearing.
Segelbaum said the applicant is doing a good job of balancing his plans with the
requirements and not making the new garage too large which would negatively impact
the neighboring property.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried unanimously to
approve the variance request 4.6 ft. off the required 12.5 ft. to a distance of 7.9 ft. at its
closest point to side yard (south) property line to allow for the construction of a garage
addition finding that adding a 2-stall garage is a reasonable request, the current
homeowner didn't create the circumstances and the addition positively impacts the
neighboring property owners because cars will be able to be parked indoors.

Larrv Spears/Tennant Companv, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.36, Industrial Zoning District,
Subd. 6(A) Front Yard Setback Requirements
• 17.25 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 17.75 ft. at its closest
point to front yard (east) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the expansion of the parking lot.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.70, Off-Street Parking and Loading
Regulations, Subd. 3 Minimum Number of Required Off-Street
Parking Spaces
• 36 parking spaces fewer the required 167 parking spaces for a total
of 131 parking spaces
Commissioner Segelbaum recused himself from the discussion and action of this item.
Hogeboom explained that Tennant acquired this property and have turned it into a
research and development/office use rather than the warehouse space is was previously.
As a result of that, they are proposing to put parking stalls in the front setback area. They
are also requesting to have 36 fewer parking spaces than required by the Zoning Code.
Maxwell asked if the 131 parking spaces proposed would be an increase from what they
currently have. Hogeboom said yes, and added that employees have been using the
parking lot, also owned by Tennant, across the street. Maxwell noted that there was also
a variance granted for parking when Tennant purchased the property.
Michael Schroeder, LHB Corp., Representing the Applicant, gave a brief history of the
property. He explained that the existing parking lot is deteriorating and needs to be
replaced. There are also grade issues and structural deficiencies along with a number of
other issues. He explained that there are currently 96 parking spaces so the plans
proposed would be an improvement over what is there now. They are also planning to
use landscaping to screen the parking in the front.
Kisch asked about the distance from the edge of the existing parking lot to front property
line. Schroeder said the edge of the parking Iot is right at the 35-foot setback. Kisch
asked about the percentage of impervious surFace. Schroder said he did have that
number available but explained that they are currently going through the approval
process with the Bassett Creek Watershed district. He explained some of the mitigation
efforts they will be doing including underground storage.

Kisch said he feels shared parking on a campus setting is a good practice. Hogeboom
agreed.
Nelson opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Nelson closed the public hearing.
Kisch said this property is unique due to the size of the building. He said he is alright with
the front yard variance request because of the other mitigation efforts and the
landscaping being proposed. It also won't change the character of this industrial
neighborhood.
Maxwell agreed and said the property is proposed to be used in a reasonable manner.
He agrees the circumstances are unique and the property is bound on two sides by
railroad and it won't impact surrounding properties.
MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by Kisch and motion carried unanimously to approve the
following variance requests 17.25 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 17.75 ft. at its
closest point to front yard (east) property line to allow for the expansion of the parking lot
and 36 parking spaces fewer the required 167 parking spaces for a total of 131 parking
spaces finding that the property is proposed to be used in a reasonable manner, the
circumstances are unique to the property and the proposal won't impact surrounding
properties.

4D.Authorize Staff to Send BCWMC Invoice to the City of Minneapolis for Engineering Services
provided to the City for the 165 Glenwood Avenue Drainage Study.Ms.Chandler said that the City
contacted the Commission Engineer because a permit applicant had contacted the City of Minneapolis
regarding discharging runoff into the Tunnel.She said that the City wanted an analysis done before the
applicant proceeded to the next permit step because the City wanted to make sure that the discharging
would be ok.Ms. Chandler said that the City agreed to pay the Commission Engineer for the analysis
work,which is similar,but much smaller in nature,to the analysis that the Commission Engineer did for
the Twin's stadium.5he said that she is asking the Commission to approve sending the letter,included in
the meeting packet,to the City under Sue Virnig's signature.She said that the invoice should be revised to
include an additional charge of$145.00 for follow up work bringing the total of the invoice to$1,520.50.
Chair Loomis asked if the Administrator would take care of the invoice.Ms.Chandler said that Barr
Engineering would revise the invoice as described and forward it to Administrator Nash.Chair Loomis
said that Administrator Nash would then get the invoice to Sue Virnig for signature and then would send
the invoice to the City.
Commissioner Black moved to approve the revision to the invoice and to send it to the City of Minneapolis.
Commissioner Hoshal seconded the motion.Acting Commissioner Goddard asked for clarification on
which Minneapolis Tunnel was part of the analysis.Ms.Chandler responded that it was the New Tunnel
and commented that the Commission Engineer discovered that there would not be any impact and that the
Commission would likely see the project come before the Board.The motion carried with seven votes in
favor[Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale absent from vote].
5.PUBLIC HEARING
Chair Loomis stated that the Commission is proposing to amend its Watershed Management Plan and is
holding a public hearing as required for Plan amendments.She explained that the Commission is
proposing to amend its Plan by adding three projects:
� Restoration of the Main Stem of Bassett Creek from Irving Avenue North in Minneapolis to Golden
Valley Road in Golden Valley in 2012.
3
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
• Modification of the Wirth Lake Outlet in 2012
� Construction of a pond at Lakeview Park within the Medicine Lake watershed in 2013.
Restoration of the Main Stem of Bassett Creek from Irving Avenue North in Minneapolis to
Golden Valley Road in Golden Valley in 2012:
Ms.Chandler introduced Jeff Weiss from Barr Engineering Company to present the feasibility project on
the restoration of the Main Stem of Bassett Creek.Mr.Weiss summarized that he would review the reach
locations,the problems observed,the concept solutions,opinion costs,and next steps.
Mr.Weiss,showing a PowerPoint presentation,explained that the project is located in the far eastern end
of the Bassett Creek watershed and is almost entirely in the Theodore Wirth Park and Theodore Wirth
Golf Course.He said that the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board(MPRB)brought forth this
restoration project because the MPRB wants to do renovations throughout the park and wants to
coordinate efforts.Mr.Weiss said that Barr Engineering staff and MPRB staff walked through the park
together to identify sites for the restoration.
Mr.Weiss described the project's site one,the Fruen Mill site,and pointed out the crumbling WPA(Works
Progress Administration)wall along the bank.He described the second site and showed a photo indicating
signs of heavy foot traffic contributing to the erosion ia the site.Commissioner Black asked how the foot
traffic issue would be addressed so that the restored bank doesn't end up eroded by foot tr�c in the same
way.Mr.Weiss said that the final design plans could include designated wallflng areas or perhaps the
MPRB would consider adding a�shing pier.Commissioner Black said that if it is a heavy fishing area
people won't stop fishing at the spot.Ms. Chandler said that Barr Engineering could discuss the issue with
the MPRB.
Mr.Weiss described site 3 as a drawdown of the wetland area,site 4 as an eroded bank where the current
is undercutting a tree,site 5 as a spot where a big oak tree is being undercut by the current,and site 6 as a
large site with eroding bank adjacent to the park's walking trail.He said that at site 6 some rocks had been
moved by people,which caused the water to undercut the bank at one spot.Mr.Weiss said that the last
three sites are all on Theodore Wirth Golf Course and are very straightforward in terms of where the
banks have erosion and wear and tear.He said that adding some buffer between the golf course and the
creek would�dd extra stabilization.
Mr.Weiss discussed possible structural-based and plant-based solutions.He said the Fruen Mill site is the
only site that needs rip rap and said that rock vanes are proposed at two sites.Mr.Weiss said that plant-
based treatments include live cutting,plant stakes,bio logs,and root wads.
Mr.Weiss went through the opinion of costs table.Commissioner Black asked when the Commission would
receive the cost estimate for use in determining what the Commission will request for its levy.Ms.
Chandler responded that this number in the opinion of cost is what the Commission will use in calculating
its levy request.She said that the City will get the final cost estimate when the project is going to be
constructed and there are construction plans and specifications.Ms. Chandler said that the term
feasibility-level opinion of cost describes where the project is at in terms of how de�ned it�s and that the
project is in between the ballpark cost estimate and the fnal design/construction cost estimate.
Mr.Wefss said that that the total opinion of cost for the project is$856,000,which includes the
construction contingency and the design,permitting,and administration costs.He safd that the
construction cost subtotal is just under$500,000.He added that the only location where there is concern for
contaminat�on is the Fruen Mill site,which is also the only site for concern about possibly needing cultural
or historical investigations.Mr.Weiss noted that costs for contamination remediation of approximately
50% of the soil at the Fruen Mill site and cultural and historical investigations at that site were assumed in
the opinion of cost.He explained that the opinion of cost assumes no costs for construction easements since
4
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
the construction will occur on MPRB property.Mr.Weiss said that the tree replacement was assumed at
two-to-one and the vegetation warranty was assumed to be a three-year contract.
Mr.Weiss said that next steps would be for the Commission to take steps to finalize the feasibility report,
distribute the final report,amend its Plan and send the levy request to the County and then the MPRB
would undertake the project.
Commissioner Black said that the construction contingency standard is 10% and asked why it is assumed
at 20% for this project.
Ms.Eberhart stated that as far as the soil contamination there was a transformer in that area that
e�cperienced some vandalism last year but that the disturbance to the site was minimal so she is not terribly
concerned abont extensive soil removal.She said that there may be a discussion raised by the Minnesota
State Historical Preservation Office regarding the rip rap at site one so having a 20% contingency right
now is comfortable because there may be some design changes at that site for that reason and also to
address the fishing needs.Ms.Eberhart said that her understanding is that the Commission needs to or
prefers to pass funds through a Commission member and she pointed out that the MPRB is not a member.
She said the City of Minneapolis would be the fiduciary agent and would then hire the MPRB.Ms.
Eberhart said that the City of Golden Valley is comfortable with the arrangement of the money flowing
through the City of Minneapolis,even though some of the project is located in the City of Golden Valley,
and the City of 1Vlinneapolis has a closer relationship to the MPRB.She said that if the Commission wants
the money to go directly to the MPRB it would be fine with the City of Minneapolis.
Commissioner Black said that 30°Io for design,administration,and permitting seems high especially given
that the Resource Management Plan was supposed to help lower costs of permitting.Ms.Eberhart
commented that hopefully some of the work in this project will be bioengineering,which is a more creative
and time consuming process than usiag rip rap.She said that she thinks that at this point it is appropriate
to have the higher contingency figure in the report,which is not meant to encourage too much work.Ms.
Eberhart clarified that regarding permits there will need to be a construction easement at the private
property,which is the Fruen Mill site,and the MPRB would issue perrruts for the work on MPRB property
but without a fee,and she wasn't sure what other permits may be needed for the work on the creek.She
added that it is more comfortable to have the cost figure higher than too low at this point.
Commissioner Hoshal asked about whether the erosion control measures in the project would actually
serve to just move the erosion problems to new sites.Mr.Weiss said no,not likely. Commissioner Hoshal
asked if anyone had any knowledge of a historical site called the Sweeney Slaughterhouse along the creek in
the early 19QOs.No one indicated any informahon about it.
Mr.Asche said that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA)may be looking at wetland issues for
their formal water qnality certification.He said one of the issues that the City of Plymouth has run into
through the BCWMC is wetland mitigation required for some ponding.He said the wetland mitigation can
go a conple of different directions depending on the type of project and can be an unanswered question for
quite a while.Mr.Weiss said that this project wouldn't change any permanent ponding areas or any
permanent water levels so the project wouldn't cause any permanent wetland impacts.He said that there
would be the drawdown of the one wetland site but it would return to its normal water level.Mr.Weiss
explained that the typical experience with streambank erosion projects are that they are self-mitigat�ng and
often improve wetland habitat because of the sloped banks.
Chair Loomis asked if the Commission evaluates its streambank restoration projects in terms of habitat
and remarked on one of the proposed sites in the project where the stream will be widened to slow down
the velocity of the waters and asked how that would impact the habitat for mussels,which require faster
moving water.Mr.Weiss said that the base flow area of that site wouldn't really be impacted and instead
the project wotild create more of a flood plain and the bulk of the f7ow would remain in the channel.
Andrea Weber of the MPRB discussed that site and said that the MPRB would like to construct addit�onal
access points on that section and possibly some fishing points as weA.Chair Loomis brought up the earlier
discussion of the foot traffic on site two.Andrea Weber said that the area is a popular fishing spot and the
5
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
MPRB is looking into putting in�shing blocks to provide people with an opportunity to do that activity.
She said the MPRB is still in a citizen's advisory phase but commented that in the case of a project such as
this one where the MPRB is partnering with another group the MPRB will communicate to its Citizen
Advisory Group that there are certain things that need to happen in the project in partnership.
Chair Loomis commented that one of the erosion sites seems to have worse scouring due to people
rearranging rocks in the creek and asked if the MPRB has plans to monitor the rock vanes after
construction.Ms.Weber said that the MPRB would need to maintain the project once the construction and
warranty are complete and it will be something that the MPRB will need to make sure its staff
understands.
Modification of the Wirth Lake Outlet Structure in 2012:
Chair Loomis noted that this project is part of the Wirth Lake TMDL implementation project.Ms.
Chandler displayed a PowerPoint presentation on the project location,goals and issues,alternatives,
recomanended solutions,opinion of cost,and next steps.
Ms. Chandler explafned that the outlet is on the northeast corner of Wirth Lake and f7ows a short d�stance
before it heads into the Main Stem of Bassett Creek.She said that the project is the one and only
implementabon project of the Wirth Lake TMDL study.Ms.Chandler explained that the project is to
modify the outlet structure to prevent backf7ows coming into Wirth Lake from Bassett Creek.She said that
the project would eliminate 55 pounds of phosphorous from flowing from the creek into the lake.
Ms. Chandler said the project will replace the current timber outlet of the structure,will need to make sure
there won't be any problems with the lake level or flood levels downstream,and will want to minimize the
maintenance required.Ms.Chandler noted that the creek is typically one to two feet lower than the lake
but that it only takes the creek to be at a level that is consistent with a two-year flooding event for the water
to flow back into Wirth Lake.
Ms.Chandler explained the four alternatives that were explored and provided information on the
recommended solution of the replacement of the timber outlet with two rubber check valves.Ms.Chandler
reported that the advantages to the rubber check valve solution include lower cost,reliability,low
maintenance needs,and the fact that it would be the least visible option. She stated that the disadvantages
include that access would be needed from the top and that something like lockable hatches would need to
be constructed.She noted that the rubber check valves would also require a weir to be placed in from of
the outlet structure to control the water level so it remains at its normal water level.
Ms. Chandler said that the opinion of cost for the project is$180,000 and that the BCWMC received a
$75,000 Clean Water Fund grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources(BWSR)for the
project.She said that the Commission would need to take action on the feasibility study and that there
would need to be an agreement between the City of Golden Valley and the MPRB for the City to do the
construction on the site and for maintenance of the project.
Mr.Asche asked'af there is any concern with the option regarding managing to get water out of Wirth Lake
in the event oF an emergency.Ms.Chandler said that it is a good point and that if there is to be a gronnd
overtlow that it should be designed as part of the project.
Mr.Byrne asked if the project would reduce the total capacity and if the emergency overflow would be
used at a different frequency.Ms.Chandler said it that Barr Engineering would need to look into it to find
out the relative capacaty.
Commissioner Black said that it looks like there may be a lot of foot traffic in the aaea of tlus project,too,
and wondered if the design would accommodate for it.She said that it should be looked at during the
project design and perhaps could be coordinated with the Main Stem praject's site two regarding design
considerations for the foot traffic.
Commissioner Hoshal displayed a mounted Bassett Creek walleye and spoke of the environmental
6
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
disconnect,the physical disconnect between the creek and the lake,wluch would occur if the rubber check
valve solution is used.He asked that the feasibility report touch on the environmental disconnect and its
potential impact and how it could be addressed.
Mr.Oliver commented that Wirth Lake is part of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' (DNR)
children's�shing program and is stocked regularly.He said that his inclination is that most of the fish
present in the stream are rough�sh and it would improve the�shery of Wirth Lake by not allowing rough
fish into the lake.
Construction of a Pond at Lakeview Park in 2013:
Chair Loomis said that this project is located in the Medicine Lake watershed and is on the
implementation plan for the Medicine Lake TMDL.Ms. Chandler stated that the feasibility study was e-
mailed to the Commission and is available in hard copy format today.She said that the study is the 2004
report prepared by Bonestroo and is accompanied by a letter written this month by the City of Golden
Valley that updates the status of the feasibility study and the project.Ms.Chandler said that the project is
slated for 2013 construction.She stated that she would present information about the project's location,
problems,goals,what the proposed pond would do,opinion of cost,and conclusion.
Ms. Chandler said that the project location is on the west side of the City of Golden Valley and close to
Highway 169 and discharges into Plymouth and Medicine Lake.She described the site and said that the
water quality-related concerns are that the watershed currently drains to Plymouth without any water
quality treatment and that the watershed is fully developed,which means it doesn't offer many
opportunities to add water quality treatment.Ms.Chandler said that the goals were to unprove how well
the e�risting BMPs work downstream,to reduce the nutrient loading,to meet the Commission's Level I
treatment standards,and to meet the City's goals of reducing the potential for flooding and providing an
amenity in the park.
Ms. Chandler provided details on the bene�t to Medicine Lake regarding the phosphorus removal that
would be gained due to the pond.She said the pond would prevent 38% of total suspended solids and 23°Io
of total phosphorous each year from entering Medicine Lake.
She said that in 2004 the project cost estimate for constructing the pond was$146,000 but there were
additional costs that the City faced regarding removal of asbestos-bonded sewer pipes.Ms.Chandler
explained that at the time the City was looking at a slightly different location for the pond,which would
have required the repositioning of sanitary sewer pipes.She said that those additional costs would have
brought the project cost up to$417,000 and due to that high cost the project was not ordered to be built.
She said the project cost has since come down to$196,000 because the City of Golden Valley will be using
other funds to be make the sanitary sewer pipes water tight so that they won't need to be removed.She said
the project cost includes the updated cost for the pond construction with allowance for inflation and some
allowance in case some pipe may need to be moved.
Ms. Chandler listed the project benefits as getting the needed additional water quality treatment for
Medicine Lake,meeting Level I water quality treatment requirements,reducing the maintenance
requirements downstream because it allows another place for sediments to settle out before heading down
downstream,providing park amenfties,and avoiding utility removaU relocation.She mentioned that the
project does not increase f]ooding issues in the area.She recommended that the Commission order the
project for 2013 when the Commission gets to the point in the process of ordering projects.
Chair Loomis stated that this is a public hearing and asked if anyone wanted to comment on the proposal
to amend the BCWMC's Plan.Hearing no comments Chair Loomis closed the public hearing.
Chafr Loomis said that staff is looking for direction to amend the Commiss�on's Watershed Management
Plan to include the three projects presented today.Commissioner Black said that she doesn't have any
problems with adding these projects to the Commission's Plan but that she is not in agreement with the
20% contingency and the 30% administration,design,and permitting costs.
7
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
Commissioner Black moved to amend the Commission's Watershed Management Plan to include the three
projects presented and that she hopes that the Commission will receive more reasonable cost estimates for
the contingency budget and the design,administration,and permitting costs.Acting Commissioner
Goddard seconded the motion.Commissioner Black commented that she would like the Commission to go
out for a Request for Proposals(RFP)for these projects.Chair Loomis said that typically the Commission
contracts with a member city for the projects and the member cfty would go out for any RFPs.The mot�on
carries with seven votes in favor[Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale absent from vote].
6.NEW BU5INES5
A. Discuss Capital Project Funding:
i.Estimated Tax Levy Request for County Collection in 2012.Ms.Chandler said that the Commission
needs to provide today to Hennepin County a number for the Commission's estimated maximum tax levy
request for collection in 2012.She said the Commission could lower its request but couldn't raise it beyond
this estimate.Ms.Chandler stated that the amount in the Commission's CIP reserve is getting veri�ed but
is not available for today's discussion.She recommended that the Commission anticipate needing to use
levied funds for the 2012 construction project costs and the Schaper Park Pond study.
She said the total costs of the 2012 projects are$1,073,000.Ms. Chandler said the Commission could levy
for the entire amount,or if the Commission would like to keep its levy request at the previously discussed
2012 amount of$935,000 then the Commission could split the costs for the Main Stem project over two
years.
Commissioner Langsdorf asked about the costs that the Commission already anticipates for 2013.Ms.
Chandler reviewed with the Commission the CIP projects and the costs identified for 2013.
Chair Loomis said that the Commission would need$1,073,000 less the$75,000 Clean Water Fund grant of
$75,000 for the Wirth Y.ake Outlet Structure project,which would mean the Coanmission would need
$998,000.
Commissioner Black reiterated that she is looking for lower numbers for the construction contingency and
the design,permitting,and administration costs on the projects and that if there aren't lower costs she'll be
looking for justification of the costs. Commissioner Black moved for staff to communicate to Hennepin
County that the Commission's ma�amum tax levy for collection in 2012 is$998,000.Commissioner
Goddard seconded the motion.The motion carries with seven votes in favor[Cities of Minnetonka and
Robbinsdale absent from vote].
Mr.Asche said that perhaps the Commission would want the TAC to discuss the feasibility costs so that a
way could be worked out for the feasibility studies to have some itemized numbers for some of those costs
described by Commissioner Black.
Ms.Clancy agreed with Mr.Asche's suggestion and also commented that city council members may be
used to seeing feasibility reports for project improvements that are at the 75% to 80% design level whereas
here the Commission is seeing the reports at the 10% design level,which may be why there seems to be
some discrepancy between the percentages for the contingencies and unfortunately the Commission needs
to ask for money for the projects very early in the process.
The motion carries with seven votes in favor[Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale absent from vote].
B. Discuss Draft Feasibility Reports: Bassett Creek Main Stem Project; Wirth Lake Outlet
Structure CIP Project; and,Lakeview Park Pond
Ms. Chandler asked if the Commission wants to see the reports changed or presented again or if the
Commission wants revisions or justification to the cost estimates. She reiterated that the numbers listed in
8
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
the reports are the numbers that the Commission will be working with until it has Fnal cost estimates
during the design process.Commissioner Black asked if these numbers in the reports are the numbers that
the Commission will use for its levy.Ms.Chandler said yes.Mr.LeFevere said that the Commission
wouldn't need to change these feasibility reports but could include more information about the costs of the
projects as part of its consideration process when it decides its final levy request amount in September.Mr.
LeFevere said that the amount that the Commission levies is the amount that the Commission agrees to pay
the cities for these projects.He said that the cities are required to cover cost overruns and the
implementing cities are the ones who have the greatest interest in making sure they have enough
contingency so that they are comfortable with moving forward.Acting Commissioner Goddard pointed out
that if the project costs end up being less than the amount that is levied for the project then the remaining
funds go into the CIP reserve and could be applied to the costs of the next year's capital projects,which
would thereby reducing the levy for that year.
Ms. Clancy agreed with Acting Commissioner Goddard's comments and stated that the cities and
BCWMC staff have been aggressively seeking out other sources of funding for the construct�on projects.
Acting Commissioner Goddard said that regarding the Wirth Lake report the Commission had questions
about checking the outlet capacity and looking into emergency overflow.Commissioner Hoshal said he
would like a paragraph added that addresses the disconnection that would be caused by the proposed
valve.Ms.Chandler said the Commission also had a comment about addressing the foot traffic around the
outlet.The Commission agreed that no changes needed to be made to the Main Stem feasibility study but
directed Ms.Chandler to follow up with the MPRB regarding the foot traffic at site 2.
Chair L.00mis asked what the cost savings would be between a two-year and three-year warranty on the
vegetation in the Main Stem project and asked Barr Engineering to inveshgate.
Ms. Chandler asked if the Commission wotild like to see an updated presentation on the Wirth Lake report
next month.The Commission indicated yes.
Acting Commissioner Goddard moved for staff to�nalize and distribute the feasibility studies.
Commissioner Hoshal seconded the motion.The motion carries with seven votes in favor[Cities of
Minnetonka and Robbinsdale absent from vote].
C. Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Plans for the Beach at Twin Lake.
Ms.Weber said that the MPRB is working with the Conservation Corps on invasive species removal along
the banks on Twin Lake and that work will begin in mid-July.She said that some erosion controls such as
bio-logs have already been installed.Ms.Weber said that the MPRB is also looking at emergency access
route stabilization and is looking to secure the funding source for that work. She said that she believes the
Conservation Corps will be hand-pulling the smaller plants and cutting and treating the larger.
Chair Loomis said that at a previous meeting there were some concerns raised by a resident regarding the
installation of erosion control measures on the banks.Ms.Weber said that she did inspect the control
measures and that although the stakes were installed in the middle of the logs instead af at the ends she
believed that the measures were installed appropriately.Ms. Clancy said that the MPRB did speak with the
City of Golden Valley about the erosion control permits and that the MPRB was not required to have an
erosion control permit and thanked Ms.Weber for going out and inspecting the erosion control measures
on the s�te.
[Acting Commissioner Sarvi departs the meeting.]
7. OLD BUSINESS
A. Approve BCWMC's 2012 Operating Budget/Direct Distribution.Administrator Nash explained that
the most recent revision of the budget was distributed today and that the change to the levy that was
just discussed today by the Commission would need to be reflected in the budget sheet in the
fnformation table on the budget.Administrator Nash said that he would finalize the budget and levy
9
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
descriptive document to match the revised operating budget and would get it to Chair Loomis for
signature tomorrow.Commissioner Hoshal moved to approve the budget as presented.Commissioner
LangsdorF seconded the motion.The motion carried with five votes in favor[City of Crystal,City of
Golden Valley,City of Medicine Lake,City of Minneapolis,and City of St.Louis Park],one city against
[City of Plymouth],and three cities absent[City of Minnetonka,City of New Hope,and City of
Robbinsdale].
B.TAC Recommendations
i.Electronic Data Collection of Surface Water Elevations.Administrator Nash summarized the TAC's
discussion and said that the TAC would like staff to come back to a future TAC meeting with information
on the uses of the data and suggestions as well as more details on how cities could act as partners to conduct
some of the visual readings when they are out there on inspections.Commissioner Hoshal asked if the
Commission could encourage lake associations to get involved with the data reading.Administrator Nash
said that would be great as long as it could be done on a consistent basis and if he or anyone else knows of a
group willing to do this then it could be set up.
He said that another idea the TAC discussed is trying out the transducer technology on a couple of lakes in
the watershed. Commissioner Black asked if the TAC is looking at getting more information about the use
of the data before looking into buying transducers.Administrator Nash said that the TAC's questions
would be answered to the TAC's satisfaction before any new equipment would be purchased or before
modifying the monitoring program for 2012.
Chair Loomis asked if this data would be useful for the proposed new XP-SWMM model.Ms.Chandler
said that even the bi-weekly data would be helpful with the model and there would be better numbers using
a transducer but the costs and benefits would need to be weighed.
Commissioner Black moved that staff move forward and look into details of purchasing and installing one
or two of the transducers. Commissioner de Lambert seconded the motion.The motion carried with six
votes in favor[Cities of Minnetonka,New Hope,and Robbinsdale absent from vote].The Commission
clarified that Administrator Nash would prepare the information for the TAC and that he could utilize the
Commission Engineer at his discretion.Ms.Clancy added that the City of Golden Valley has a transducer
installed on Bassett Creek and there may be some valuable lessons that could be shared. Commissioner
Black said that it seems like it could be a direction to staff to look into partnering with the cities if they
have someone available and to see if lake associations have volunteers interested in doing this type of data
collection.Ms.Chandler commented that the TAC was also looking for general information on uses of the
water level data and whether there would be a benefit to collecting the data one way or the other-
manually or electronically.
Ms. Clancy mentioned that the City of Golden Valley has a transducer installed on Bassett Creek that is
monitored by its SCADA system.She said that she wanted the Commission to know that the City is already
collecting water level data electronically and that there are some valuable lessons that could be shared.
ii.BWMC and Member City Permit Review Procedures.Administrator Nash said that in light of the
Commission's role as a categorical wasteload allocator Commissioner Welch suggested a possible new
Commission policy that would trigger a review of smaller projects compared to the size of projects that
currently are reviewed under BCWMC requirements.
Ms. Chandler said that the TAC discussed decreasing the trigger for the erosion and sediment control
review from the current trigger of 200 cubic yards to 50 cubic yards,as suggested by Commissioner Welch,
or a 5,000 square foot land disturbance trigger instead of the Commission's current trigger of 10,000
square feet.She eacplained that the trigger would result in a review of water quality impacts of projects.
Ms.Chandler said that the Commission's current triggers for its Level I treatment is a 0.5-acre
development or a five-acre redevelopment for commercial and that the triggers are even larger for
10
BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
residential development and redevelopment.
Ms. Chandler said the TAC raised concerns that smaller triggers would lead to a large number of smaller
Best Management Practices(BMPs)and the TAC was concerned about maintaining those small BMPS and
getting enough bang for the buck in terms of getting the beneft compared to the work required by city
staffs.She said that the TAC discussed an alternative to doing BMPs on these really small projects that
would include doing regional BMPs to capture these smaller projects not captured in permitting.She said
that another possibility discussed was that instead of such a dramatic decrease in the trigger points that
perhaps a redevelopment trigger of one acre couid be discussed.
Ms.Chandler said that the TAC discussed the different cities'triggers and the TAC thought that it might
be valuable for the Commission to see that information.
Ms.Chandler said the TAC also discussed the draft NPDES permit that was released two days before the
TAC meeting.She said that the TAC voiced a lot of concerns about whether there would be enough
requirements in the permit that the Commission shouldn't be requiring any more.
She said that the TAC recommended:
• That the Commission consider a one-acre or greater trigger for the Commission review of
redevelopment projects;
• That the Administrator compare the member-city triggers and report the information to the
Commission at a future meeting;
Mr.Asche said that the difficulties caused by setting the triggers too small are that there would be more
reviews,more inspections,more agreements,and more follow-up.He said the TAC discussed the one-acre
trigger due to the draft MS-4 permit but he said that the draft could change.
Mr.Byrne commented that he thinks that Mr.Asche brought up to the TAC the idea of a one-acre trigger
in order to address the Commission's concerns.Mr.Byrne said he didn't think that Mr.Asche was
advocating a one-acre trigger.Mr.Byrne said that he recommends no change to the Commission's trigger.
He said that there has been a question of whether the categorical wasteload allocator role means that the
Commission would be on the hook with the MPCA for compliance and that he asked Mike Trojan of the
MPCA this morning about how the MPCA will deal with categorical TMDLs.Mr.Byrne said that Mr.
Trojan said that all of the responsibility will be on the individual MS4s.Mr.Byrne explained that the
implementation plan is agreed upon in the TMDLs and the primary implementer will have in the
implementation plan some sort of allocation of who does whak He said that the individual MS4s would
have some idea of who will be responsible for what.Mr.Byrne said it is not the same as the old method
where each MS4 has a wasteload allocated to them,He said now each MS4 has a job allocated to them.Mr.
Byrne said that the MS4s need to document in their annual report their progress toward their job.
iii.Water Quality Trading and Banking Programs.Administrator Nash said that the Commission
Engineer noted that the Commission's current policies for water quality treatment and nondegradation
allow increases in nutrient loading for new projects and for linear projects.He said that the TAC discussed
whether the Commission would want to consider infiltration trading,meaning that if a permittee installs
more stormwater infiltration than is required by the Commission's rules,the permittee could bank it or
even sell it in the future.
Ms.Chandler said that additionally there is another route that a couple of other watersheds have taken,
which is that permittes who can't provide the necessary infiltration in their projects put money into a fund
that pays for the watershed to construct a BMP project in an appropriate location.She said that TAC like
the fdea but didn't reach a decision to encourage the Commission to adopt the"no phosphorous loading"
for all projects policy that the Commission and TAC had been discussing.

BCWMC June 16,2011,Meeting Minutes
Chair Loomis said that Mn/DOT was given its own load allocation in the Sweeney Lake TMDL and that
she isn't sure how Mn/DOT would meet its allocation if there isn't something like the banking program in
place. Commissioner Black said that the program sounds interesting but it needs to be fleshed out.She said
that there would be costs involved to keep it updated and to monitor it so a cost estimate would be a
necessary piece.Chair Loomis said that maybe the Commission could get information from Ramsey-
Washington and Nine Mile Creek on how they are the dealing with the costs of monitoring the program.
Commissioner Hoshal asked if there are any third-parties handling such programs.Ms.Chandler said that
there is a group that has a water-quality trading concept being set up in the Sauk River Watershed and in
the Minnesota River Watershed.
Chair Loomis said the Commission directs staff to gather more information and to keep TAC apprised.
Ms. Chandler said that this is a big issue and it would be helpful if the Commission would identify a specific
qnestion or topic. Chair Loomis said that there is a gap in the Commission's policy for redevelopment and
linear projects and that the Commission would like the TAC to address whether the Commission should
look into changing its policy or whether the policy is fine the way it is.5he said additionally the
Commission is looking for feedback on whether the Commission should inclnde linear projects in its
policies.Chair Loomis said that the Commission is looking for�ndings to support why or why not and for
alternatives for handling the linear projects. Chair Loomis said that the Commission also�s looking for
more information on the banking concept.Commissioner Black asked Administrator Nash to e-mail out to
the Commission the information that he had distributed to the TAC regarding the member-cities' triggers
for permit reviews.
iv.Discuss BCWMC's Annual CIP Review Timeline.Ms.Chandler said that the Commission
Engineer recommends that the Commission conduct its annual CIP review earlier than its current annual
review that occurs in January.She said that January starts to run up against timelines related to plan
amendments and the annual tax levy request to the County.Ms. Chandler said the TAC was supportive of
the idea of doing the review earlier since the cities do their planning earlier.She said the TAC
recommended that the Commission conduct its annual CIP review in April.Ms.Chandler said the
recommendation is that this year the Commission would adopt its CIP revisions for 2013 at the July
BCWMC meeting and then starting next year the Commission would direct the TAC to conduct its review
in April.5he said that the CIP would be a five-year CIP that is reviewed each year.She said that this
schedule would mean that in 2012 the Commission would adopt its CIP for 2014—2018.Ms.Chandler said
that the recommended schedule would provide the Commission with more time to prepare its feasibility
studies and handle permitting as necessary.Ms.Black said that if this is the Commission's policy then it
should be added to the Commission's policy manual.
v.BCWMC's Draft 2012 Budget.Administrator Nash said that the TAC discussed the draft 2012
operating budget.He said that the only item that came out of the discussion was the desire from the TAC to
see the Commission's various funds spelled out differently in the financial report.He said that he is looking
for ideas on better ways to display the�nancial information. Chair Loomis said perhaps the Commission
needs to put on its agenda a topic on how to read the Commission's financial reports.Administrator Nash
said that the Commission could put it on the agenda and could ask Deputy Treasurer to come and e�cplain
the reports to the Commission.Chair Loomis said perhaps she and the Administrator should set up some
time during one of the Commission's upcoming meetings to have Sue Virnig to come and explain the
financial reports.

4. A. Continued Public Hearing - Ordinance #459 -Amending Section 11.23: Medium Density
Residential Zoning District (R-3) Regarding Allowing High Density Senior and Physical Disability
Housing as a Conditional Use
Prepared By
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner
Summary
The Planning Department proposes to amend Section 11.23: Medium Density Residential
Zoning District (R-3) of City Code to allow high density senior and physical disability housing
with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The R-3 Zoning District permits housing with a density
of up to 12 units per acre. Under this proposal, senior and physical disability housing would
not have a maximum density limit but rather would be regulated through the CUP process.
This proposal would allow certain areas of the City to be zoned R-3, rather than R-4, and
remain compliant with the Comprehensive Plan.
The City Council discussed the Ordinance at the June 21, 2011 City Council Meeting and
requested staff to make revisions to the Ordinance for review at the Council/Manager
meeting. At the Council/Manager meeting the Council suggested additional amendments.
Those amendments are reflected in the attached underlined/overstruck version of Section
11.23.

2. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Amendment—Adding High Density
Senior and Physical Disability Housing as a Conditional Use in the Medium
Density (R-3) Residential Zoning District Section of City Code —ZO00-86
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To allow higher density senior and physical disability housing with a
Conditional Use Permit in the Medium Density (R-3) Residential
zoning district �
Hogeboom explained that as a result of the Comprehensive Plan update in 2008 there
are several areas in the City designated for High Density Residential. There are two areas
in particular that would have to be rezoned to High Density Residential (R-4) which might
not be appropriate for the levels of traffic associated with a high density use. He stated
the consensus of the City Council is that senior housing may be a good option for these
areas because there is typically less traffic and it is not at peak hours. As a result, staff is
recommending that the Zoning Code be amended to add High Density Senior and
Physical Disability Housing as a conditional use in the Medium Density (R-3) zoning
district so that these areas could be rezoned to R-3 instead of R-4. Grimes added that this
proposed change allows the City to require a traffic study as part of the Conditional Use
process which is another reason staff feels comfortable with this recommendation.
Kisch asked if there were additional constraints considered beyond height limitations in
the R-3 zoning district. Hogeboom said there aren't any additional tests that
developments have to meet beyond the tests already required when considering a
Conditional Use Permit application. Grimes stated that a development would still be
subject to setback requirements, impervious surface requirements, parking requirements,
and other R-3 zoning district requests when applying for a Conditional lJse Permit.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 9, 2011
Page 2
Larry Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, said there is talk of a developer wanting to build
senior housing at the corner of Harold and Winnetka. He said his main concern is if the
developer owns the properties in question and if the property owners have been
contacted by the City regarding the rezoning of their properties. He said he is also
concerned about the area being "pigeon holed"for senior housing and he does not
understand the process.
Hogeboom explained that there is a developer who has an option to purchase six of the
approximately 18 properties in the Harold and Winnetka area, but they have not
submitted an application for development at this point. He explained that there will be a
public meeting/open house for residents on June 23 and notifications will be mailed in
advance of that meeting. The meeting will present road improvements far Harold Avenue
and the impact of higher density housing on the proposed and existing street system.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public
hearing.
Waldhauser asked if the City could deny a request or place further restrictions such as
height limitations on developments if they are required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.
Grimes stated that conditions could be added as part of the Conditional Use Permit
application process. However, there would need to be good reasons and findings in order
to deny an application.
Waldhauser said the proposal seems to be a good solution to providing more housing
options and will give the City more latitude and control when considering Canditional Use
Permit applications.
Segelbaum noted that the definitions for Senior Housing and Physical Disability Housing
should be capitalized when they are used in the Zoning Code.
MOVED by Cera, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of amending the City Code to allow High Density Senior and Physical Disability
Housing with a Conditional Use Permit in Section 11.23, Medium Density (R-3)
Residential zoning district based on the following findings:
• Senior and Physical Disability housing creates lower levels of traffic than does
intergenerational housing.
• Traffic generated from Senior and Physical Disability housing residents and
employees typically occurs during off-peak times.
• Dwelling units in Senior and Physical Disability housing can be smaller, on average,
than dwelling units in intergenerational housing. (As would be the case in memory
care and assisted living communities.)
• Senior, Physical Disability, and lifecycle housing is identified in the Comprehensive
Plan as a needed housing product type in the City of Golden Valley.
• Allowing higher density Senior and Physical Disability housing to be built in the
Medium Density Residential Zoning District (R-3) would provide more opportunities
to increase the housing type in the City.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit Amendment— 800 Boone
Ave N — CU-119 Amendment#2
Applicant: DRAM Properties (Legacy Adult Daycare Inc.)
Purpose: To allow for the expansion of the existing adult daycare use within
the same bu�ilding for property located in the Light Industrial Zoning
District.
Grimes.introduced the applicant and explained that the applicant intends to expand the
adult day care facility at 800 Boone Ave. The expansion would allow the facility to
eventually hold 265 persons, aS:per State requirements. Grimes stated that the existing
CUP only allows the facility to serve up to 70 clients or the amount that is specified by the
State. He stated`'that th�applicant has another adult daycare facility in Golden Valley.
The facility on �oone,Ave;opened in 2007. Grimes explained that one of the tenants in
the building, Leeds, Inc, recently vacated 12,500 sq. ft. of space allowing the daycare
business to expand.
Waldhauser asked if there are immediate plans to accept new clients to the facility.
Grimes said that he believed there were not and suggested that the Commission discuss
that matter with the applicant.
McCarty questioned why an Inflow and Infiltration inspection was required for this current
amendment but was not required for the original Conditional Use Permit approval. Grimes
stated that policy was not in place at the time of original approval that required Inflow and
Infiltration inspections to be completed. McCarly asked Grimes to clarify the inspection
process and timeline. Grimes explained that once the records of the inspection are
reviewed by the City, the City may request immediate action to correct faults in the sewer
line, or it may allow the applicant to deposit escrow funds for later correction. Grimes
stated that the matter is handled by the City's Public Works Department and is not a
zoning issue.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Kisch questioned how the State determines the occupancy load for the daycare facility.
Grimes stated that the total occupancy load for the building is determined by the State
Building Code and that the occupancy load for the daycare facility is determined by the
Minnesota Department of Human Services. Grimes explained that building size, number
of employees and number of bathroom facilities factor into that decision.
McCarty asked if the Conditional Use Permit is valid for the entire building or only the
portion currently occupied by Legacy Adult Daycare, Inc. Grimes stated that the current
Conditional Use Permit is valid for only the original space occupied by Legacy Adult
Daycare, Inc., but the amendment will validate the Conditional Use Permit for the entire
building.
Kluchka inquired about the need to limit the number of clients in the Conditional Use
Permit. Grimes stated that the number of clients could be removed from the Conditional
Use Permit, as it is regulated by the Building Code and the Minnesota Department of
Human Services. Segelbaum stated that he feels that the total number of clients should
not be stated in the Conditional Use Permit.
Kluchka asked if there is a need for a designated bus parking area on the site. Grimes
stated that the occupant has expressed an interest in creating a drop-off area for busses
on the site but that no loading area will be aonstructed on the street. Kluchka questioned
if there is need to address bus storage in the Conditiona,l: Use Permit. Grimes stated that
he feels that is not necessary and that he has not seen bus parking to be a problem on
the site.
Randy Engle, architect with Buetow,and'Associates, Inc., introduced himself and stated
that he was hired by the property owner to create plans for the daycare expansion. Engle
stated that the occupancy load of the building is determined by the calculation of 35 sq. ft.
per client as well as the number of plumbing features on the site.
David Olshansky, president of DRAM Properties, Inc., introduced himself and described
his business model. He stated #hat the business serves mostly elderly Southeast Asian
immigrants between the hours of roughly 9 am — 3 pm, Monday through Friday.
Olshansky stated that the facility currently serves around 70 total clients, but all clients
are not typic���y in the building at the same time, as the daycare service offers frequent
client field`trips'to shopping centers, casinos, the YMCA, and other destinations.
Segelbaum asked if there are any logistical concerns of adding more clients to the facility.
Olshansky stalted that the building can accommodate more people, so he does not
anticipate any logistical issues related to the proposed expansion. Olshansky also stated
that there are multiple entries into the building, so clients do not have to wait to enter the
facility when they are dropped-off.
Waldhauser asked if there were any plans with the east end of the property. Olshansky
stated that he intends to develop a garden for clients in that location.

Kisch asked if the site frequently holds parties and banquets. Olshansky estimates that
the site holds approximately eight banquets per year, and that he has no plans on
increasing the number of banquets at the site.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Waldhauser closed the public hearing.
Kluchka stated that the he supports removing reference to the number of clients served in
the Conditional Use Permit language, instead replacing it with language that defers the
maximum client load to the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Cera asked if there were any issues or concerns with the banquets that are held on the
site. Grimes stated that there have not been any issues because the banquets serve only
clients and employees of the business. Grimes stated that banquet facilities that are open
to the public are prohibited in the Light Industrial Zoning District.
Waldhauser questioned the outside storage facilities and dumpsters on the site and
questioned whether or not they are required to be screened. Grim�s stated that the
dumpster must be screened, and that he has required that the temporary outside storage
facilities be removed from the site by August 1.
Kluchka asked for clarification about whether or not the Conditional Use Permit applies to
the entire property or just the portion of the property currently occupied by Legacy Adult
Daycare. Grimes noted that the Conditional Use Permit amendment will make the permit
applicable to the entire property.
Kisch asked if another adult daycare business could occupy at the location under the
current Conditional Use Permit. Grimes stated that it could. Grimes also stated that the
building could be used for o�her uses permitted in the Light Industrial Zoning District if
Legacy Adult Daycare vacated #he premises.
Segelbaum recited the ten factvrs in City Code used to determine findings for a
Conditional Use Permit.�
Grimes suggested adding bicycle parking as a requirement to the Conditional Use Permit.
The Commission agreed with this suggestion.
MOVEQ by Kluchka, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of amending Conditional Use Permit CU-119, 800 Boone Ave N., to
allow for the'adult daycare center to serve a total number clients specified by the
Minnesota Department of Human Services subject to the following conditions:
1. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's sign code. The Golden
Ballroom sign shall be removed by August 1, 2011.
2. The site plan prepared by Buetow and Associates and dated May 6, 2011 and titled
"Existing Site Plan" shall become a part of this approval.

form approved by the Director of Public Works of 125% of the estimated cost to
complete the rehabilitation work. The work must be done within 90 days of approval
of the amended CUP by the City Council. If the work is not completed by that time

The Planning Commission bases its°recommendation on the following findings:
• The proposed expansion of adult daycare at this location is consistent with the
General Land Use Plan map and zoning for this area.
• There is an increasing need for adult daycare senrices, especially with the large and
growing number of adults in Golden Valley and the metro area over 65 years of age.
• Legacy Adult Daycare is an experienced provider of adult daycare services.
• The site provides adequate parking, access and amenities for the clients and office
uses in the;building.

From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Amended Conditional Use Permit (CUP-119) to
Allow for Expansion of Legacy Adult Day Care at 800 Boone Avenue — David N.
Olshansky (President, DRAM Properties, Inc.), Applicant
Background and Description of Existing and Proposed Uses
Mr. David N. Olshansky, president of DRAM Properties, Inc. has requested an amendment to
the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 119 in order to expand the existing adult day
care facility at 800 Boone Avenue. The expansion in space would eventually allow the State to
license the facility for up to 265 persons. Currently, they are licensed to have up to 170
persons. (The existing CUP states that the day care is limited to 70 clients or the amount
specified by the State. The State recently increased to number allowed from 70 to 170 in the
space designated in the CUP. This was also approved by city staff.) The existing adult day
care has operated successfully since it was approved in 2007.
The building at 800 Boone Ave. N. is owned by DRAM Properties and is 42,655 sq. ft. in area.
The original CUP allowed DRAM Properties to operate the adult day care in about 20,000 sq.
ft. of the building. The proposed amendment to the CUP would allow DRAM to use the entire
building for adult day care and offices for Home Health Care when the current tenant (Leeds)
vacates the building.
Currently, there are three tenants in the building. First, Legacy Adult Day Care (owned by Mr.
O�shansky and formally called Heartland Day Care) occupies about 13,900 sq. ft. of the
building. This adult day care use was approved by the original CUP for 70 adults or a number
approved by the State based on size and capacity of Legacy Adult Day Care. About 5,300 sq.
ft. of the building is occupied by the o�ce headquarters for Health Care Plus, Inc. Health Care
Plus is also owned by Mr. Olshansky. Health Care Plus provides home health care services to
seniors and employs 50 or so people in this office space. Until recently, Leeds, Inc. occupied
about 23,500 sq. ft. of the building. Leeds has reduced their size to 10,970 sq. ft. of office and
warehouse space. The remaining 12,500 sq. ft. of the building formally occupied by Leeds is to
be used for expansion by Legacy Adult Day Care. When Leeds ends its lease with DRAM
Properties, the remaining space now occupied by Leeds will be converted to Legacy Adult Day
Care. At that time the entire building would be occupied by either Legacy Adult Day Care or
Health Care Plus offices.
Legacy Adult Daycare now employs approximately 15 people and serves between 60 to 70
elderly clients although they are licensed by the State to care for 165. At this time, the clients
are primarily Chinese and Southeast Asian. The plan is to expand Legacy to serve additional
members of those groups. The day care space includes a dining area, a kitchen, activity rooms
and several restrooms for its facility. Regular hours of operation are from 7 am to 5:30 pm;
however, the majority of clients are there from 9 am to 3 pm. Almost all of the clients come to
the day care on small busses. There may be some after-hour events that serve the clients of
Legacy Adult Day Care or Health Care Plus. The City Council approved a similar CUP, issued
to DRAM Properties, on November 5, 2003 for the operation of an adult daycare at 4949 Olson
Memorial Highway. The adult day care has successfully occupied this location with no
violations of the CUP. The adult day care on Olson Memorial Highway primarily serves
Russian clients.
The building at 800 Boone Avenue was constructed in 1973. It is located in the Light Industrial
zoning district. The site is guided for light industrial uses in the Comprehensive Plan. Leeds
Precision Instruments, a microscope manufacturing company, is currently located in a
separate area of the building and occupies about 10,900 sq. ft. Individual access would be
provided for the proposed adult day care facility. Legacy Adult Day Care occupies about
13,900 square feet in the northern and western portion of the building. An additional 5,300
square feet of the northern portion of the building is used as office space for Home Health
Care, Inc.
The Zoning Code requires one parking space for five clients for adult day care. The building at
800 Boone Avenue currently has 162 parking stalls. If the building was entirely adult day care
serving 265 clients, the number of required stalls would be 54. However, with the building also
has about 5,300 sq. ft. of office space for Home Health Care Plus and 10,900 sq. ft. of office
space for Leeds for a total of 16,200 sq. ft. of office space. This amount of office space
requires 65 parking spaces (one space for each 250 sq. ft. of office space). Office space
requires one space for each 250 sq. ft. With the 162 total spaces, the amount of parking on
site greatly exceeds the parking requirement of 119 spaces (54 for adult day care and 65 for
office space). When Leeds leaves the building and the entire space is converted to adult day
care, the parking requirement will be reduced to 75 spaces (54 spaces for adult day care and
21 spaces for the 5,300 sq. ft. of office space for Home Health Care).
I have visited the site and found more than adequate parking. I was told by Mr. Olshansky that
all the clients come to the site on small busses. The busses either drop the clients off in front of
the property along Boone Ave. or in the parking lot to the south of the building. The parking lot
is used by employees of Home Health Care Plus or Leeds.
There are a couple of concerns about the use of the parking lot that will be addressed in the
amended CUP. First, all dumpsters must be screened as required by the Zoning Code. They
are currently unscreened. The applicant has agreed to do this prior to approval of the CUP by
the City Council. Second, there are two storage containers that are located an site. One is
rented from a storage container company and is owned by Leeds. The second is a 53 ft. trailer
that is parked at the northeast corner of the building. It is used for the storage of tables and
chairs owned by DRAM for use in the building. The City does not permit temporary storage
buildings unless they are used for a short period of time related to construction. If extra space
is needed, the building should be expanded. These two temporary storage structures do not
meet the City's building code and should be removed. The purpose of a trailer is to bring a
product to a building and then move the trailer after the product is removed. A trailer is not
intended for permanent storage.
When the City issues a CUP, it has the right to require an Inflow and Infiltration (I and I)
inspection to determine if there is improper seepage of clear water into the sanitary sewer
system. If there is such seepage due to failure of the pipe system from the building to the City's
sewer system, the failure must be corrected in order that clear water is not going into the
sanitary sewer system. (The City has been required to address this infiltration and inflow issue
by the Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services division that operates the sewer plants
for the metro area. Golden Valley has been identified with other cities with an inflow and
infiltration problem and has been required to correct the problem. In addition to correcting the
problem on the City's sanitary sewer pipes, the City must also require that leaking private
pipes be fixed to eliminate inflow of clear water into the system that does not require treatment
at a sewer plant. By reducing inflow and infiltration, it will delay the construction of additional
sewer plants in the metro area.) Because there is a proposed change of use from office to
adult day care, the City has required that a I and I inspection be done and that if there are
improvements needed to the private system, they will have to be made prior to approval of the
amended CUP by the City Council or an escrow of 125% of the cost submitted to the City to
guaranty the work is done within 90 days of the approval of the amended CUP by the City. At
this time, staff has not gotten the results of the I and I inspectian. The owner has asked that
this requirement to improve the private sanitary sewer lines be delayed until Leeds vacates the
entire building.
The building to the north of the DRAM Property (830 Boone Avenue) is a 152,500 square foot
building is owned by Interkey Properties LLC, and is an office/warehouse building. The building
to the south of the property, located at 750 Boone Avenue, is occupied by the offices of
Peterson, Beyenhof and Zahler, Ltd., CPAs. Across the street to the west, Billboard Planet and
Performance in Motion occupy space. Bassett Creek is located directly east of the �roperty.
There are currently four "for-lease" signs along Boone Avenue between 7t" and 10t Avenues.
The traffic signal at the intersection of Boone Avenue and Highway 55 provides good access to
the site. Golden Valley Road and 10th Avenue also provide adequate access to the site.
There is a sign in front of the building that identifies one of the tenants as the "Golden
Ballroom". Staff has asked that this sign be removed because this type of facility is not
permitted. Mr. Olshansky has agreed to remove the sign. There has been some concern that
the facility has been used for events such as weddings and parties. I have been assured by
Mr. Olshansky that the rooms are not rented out for events. The only events that occur on the
site are related to Legacy Adult Day Care or Home Health Care Plus. Examples may be an
employee party, birthday or anniversary party of a client, etc.
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. DRAM Properties has demonstrated
that there is a need for adult day care by operating finro facilities in Golden Valley:
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The General Land Use Plan Map depicts
the proposed site as long-term light industrial use. Adult day care centers, through
conditional use, are compliant with this land use designation. The building will also be used
for office space which is consistent with the light industrial designation.
3. EfFect on Property Values in the Area: Staff does not believe the approval of this
amended permit will negatively affect property values in the area. The site is located in an
industrial area and is separated to an adjacent Residential zvning district by Bassett Creek.
The existing use has a no negative impacts on the area.
4. Effect of Use on Traffic in the Area: Generally, clients utilizing the daycare will arrive via
bus, reducing the number of trips made to and from the facility. Typically only employees
and visitors would arrive by car.
5. Effect of Increases in Density or Population on the Area: The proposed use will not
increase the population of the area. Since this use is non-residential, only the daytime
population of Golden Valley would be effected.
6. Increase in Noise Created by Use: Noise impacts created by this proposed facility should
not extend beyond the site. Minimal additional noise can be expected by busses
transporting clients. �
7. Any Dust, Odor or Vibration caused by Use: No such problems are expected to be
caused by this proposal.
8. Any Increase in Animal Pests Caused by the Use: The nature of this facility does not
contribute to the,existence of pests in anyway.
9. Visual Appearance of the Use: The exterior of the building will not be affected (other than
signage) with the proposed use.
10.Other Effects of the Use: Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the
proposed use.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the amended Conditional Use Permit allowing an adult day care
center serving up to 265 clients (or an amount specified by the Minnesota Department of
Human Services.) The day care facility is to be operated by Legacy Adult Daycare, a
subsidiary of DRAM Properties. Leeds Inc. will remain in the building until their lease expires.
At that time, the entire building will be converted Legacy Adult Day Care and the offices for
Home Health Care Plus, both owned by DRAM Properties. The approval of the amended
Conditional Use Permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's sign code. The "Golden Ballroom"
sign shall be removed by August 1, 2011.
2. The site plan prepared by Buetow and Associates and dated May 6, 2011 and titled
"Existing Site Plan" shall become a part of this approval.
3. The adult day care shall be limited to 265 clients, or the amount specified by the
Minnesota Department of Human Senrices and approved by staff.
4. The hours of normal operation shall be from 7 am to 5:30 pm with the exception of
occasional evening social functions.
5. All improvements to the building must meet the City's Building Code requirements.
6. All necessary licenses must be obtained by the Minnesota Department of Human Services
and the Minnesota Department of Health before adult daycare operations may commence.
Proof of such licensing must be presented to the Director of Planning and Qevelopment.
7. All outdoor trash and recycling containers must be screened in a manner acceptable to the
Inspections Department.
8. The trailer used for storage and other temporary storage buildings must be removed from
the site no later than August 1, 2011.
9. An Infiltration and Inflow Inspection and required compliance rehabilitation identified by the
inspection must be completed prior to approval of the amended CUP by the City Council.
If the rehabilitation cannot be completed by the time of the approval of the amended CUP
by the City Council, DRAM Properties may post an escrow (in a form approved by the
Director of Public Works) of 125% of the estimated cost to complete the rehabilitation
work. The work must be done within 90 days of approval of the amended CUP by the City
Council. If the work is not completed by that time, the City has the right to use the escrow
to comptete the work.
10. The requirements faund in the memo to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and
Development, from Ed Anderson, Deputy Fire Marshal and dated May 17, 2011 shall
become a part of these requirements.
11. All other applicable local, state and federal requirements shall be met at all times.
Staff recommends the following findings for approval of the amended CUP:
1. The proposed expansion of adult day care at this location is cansistent with the General
Land Use Plan map and zoning for this area.
2. There is an increasing need for adult day care services, especially with the large and
growing number of adults in Golden Valley and the metro area over 65 years of age.
3. Legacy Adult Day Care is an experienced provider of adult day care services.
4. The site provides adequate parking, access and amenities for the clients and office uses in
the building.
