Based upon the discussion at this meeting, the City of Golden Valley offers the following comments on the Master Plan: 1. In general, the City of Golden Valley is supportive of the construction of the Three Rivers Park District Bassett Creek Trail through the City. Regional trails provide many benefits on a local and regional level including health, recreation, and opportunities for multi-modal transportation that will help address regional transportation issues. The identified corridor and connectivity of the proposed regional trail are consistent with the City of Golden Valley Sidewalk and Trail Plan as included in the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan. However, the Master Plan identifies the location of the trail on the south side of Golden Valley Road (CSAH 66) between Regent Avenue and Wirth Parkway. The City of Golden Valley feels strongly that the regional trail should be located on the north side of the roadway for the following reasons: a. The Courage Center is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Hidden Lakes Parkway. The Courage Center is a rehabilitative clinic for persons with spinal cord and head injuries that include a significant number of in-patient and out-patient clients. During rehabilitation, Courage Center clients, most of whom rely on motorized wheelchairs for mobility, frequently utilize the existing City sidewalk on the south side of Golden Valley Road to travel to the commercial area located immediately west of Trunk Highway 100. It is our opinion that mixing trail users that include young children on bicycles, bicyclists of all abilities, runners, walkers and in-line skaters, with users from the Courage Center will be detrimental to the safety of all trail users, but with an increased risk to the disabled users. 763-5�3-�00� �: :763-593-8109 , 763-593-3968 :¢.,,_ f t �� < Commissioners and Staff August 17,2011 Page 2 b. Based upon the above discussion and previous experience with the Three Rivers Park District's Luce Line Trail on Country Club Drive, the City will require separate sidewalk and trail facilities on Golden Valley Road between the Courage Center and Regent Avenue. The Country Club Drive corridor also includes a high population rehabilitative center with significant pedestrian generation and a separate sidewalk located on the opposite side of the street from the regional trail. Feedback from the residents on this street, trail users and the rehabilitative facility has been supportive of separate sidewalks and trail amenities. 2. The draft City of Golden Valley Accessibility, Design, Policy and Implementation Manual for Public Rights-of-Way includes priorities for accessibility improvements throughout the community. The draft plan identifies the existing sidewalk on the south side of Golden Valley Road between the Courage Center and the commercial area west of TH 100 as a high priority for improvements due to the high usage by Courage Center clients. There is a very high likelihood that these improvements, including new pedestrian ramps and replacement of the sidewalk, will completed prior to the construction of this segment of the Bassett Creek Trail. The City investment in these improvements will be significant and will need to be considered during the construction of the regional trail. 3. The City of Golden Valley has made a significant investment in existing trail and sidewalk infrastructure that has been identified as being incorporated into the alignment of the proposed Bassett Creek Trail. These investments include the Trunk Highway 100 pedestrian bridge, the trail on Unity Avenue, Minnaqua Drive and Scott Avenue, and sidewalk on Regent Avenue. It is the City's understanding that Three Rivers Park District is requesting to assume responsibility for management and maintenance of these facilities following completion of the Bassett Creek Trail. Future agreements between the City and Three Rivers must include compensation for the City investment in these facilities. Furthermore, the City reserves the right to perform winter maintenance of these facilities as it sees fit and will not seek permission from the Park District to do so. � Commissioners and Staff August 17,2011 Page 3 4. The City has received comments from residents in the vicinity of the proposed regional trail corridor indicating that the public participation process utilized in plan development did not clearly identify direct impacts within Golden Valley. The City Council would like the Three Rivers Park District to consider an additional public open house within Golden Valley. In order to ensure that property owners affected by the construction of the regional trail have adequate opportunity to become informed about project details, the City is requesting that the anticipated public participation program be submitted to the City. 5. The City of Golden Valley requests a map of the portions of this trail that have already been constructed. The City of Golden Valley appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan. We also look forward to your consideration of the comments contained in this letter and the successful completion of the trail project. Sincerely, Linda R.

Informal Public Hearing —Conditional Use Permit Amendment—9315 Medicine Lake Road — CU=68 Amendment#1 Applicant: McDon�ld's USA, LLC Addresses: 9315 Medicine Lake Road Purpose: To allow for the addition of a second drive-thru lane for property located in the Commercial zoning district. Grimes referred.#o a site plan of the property and explained that McDonald's is proposing to remod�l th'ei�sfore and`add a second drive-thru lane. In order to add the second drive- thru lane,'McDonald's needs to amend their existing Conditional Use Permit which was issued in 1997. He;referred to the Deputy Fire MarshaPs memo and noted that in order to improve fire access on the site the drive aisles need to be increased to 20 feet in width which will reduce the parking on site. McDonald's will be asking the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance from the parking requirements as well. Grimes stated that staff is recommending approval of this request because new plan allows for better emergency access and the drive-thru configuration will allow more capacity for stacking cars in the drive-thru lanes. Kisch referred to the proposed site plan and questioned if the Deputy Fire Marshal is satisfied with the 20-foot drive aisle ending at the Mendelssohn access. Grimes said it is his understanding that the Deputy Fire Marshal is satisfied with McDonald's plan and it will be an improvement over the current conditions. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission July 25, 2011 Page 2 Kluchka questioned why the Planning Commission reviews drive-thru proposals. Grimes explained that the City's biggest concern with drive-thru requests is to make sure they don't cause problems with traffic backing up on the public streets. He added that staff also has concerns about potential speaker noise with drive-thru operations. Waldhauser added that exhaust and smells could also be of concern. Brian Johnson, Architect with Reprise Design, explained how they are meeting the requirements of the fire code. He explained the proposed drive-thru procedure and described the layout of the order kiosks and cash booth and how the layout will provide faster service and allow more room for stacking cars. Kluchka asked if there are any plans for enhancing the landscaping. Johnson said,'yes there will be landscaping added to the site. Kluchka said he would als� like to encourage the addition of bicycle racks. Grimes stated that a condition of approval should be added requiring McDonald's to provide a rack for 5 bicycles. Kisch referred to the demonstrated need for use requirement in the City Code and noted that the applicant's narrative states that the volume is increasing but he questioned if the sales have also increased. Ray Croaston, Applicant, explained that when the restaurant was originally built the drive-thru sales were approximately 45% of their business. Now the drive-thru sales represent approximately 65% to 70% of sales. He stated that with the remodel they are anticipating the sales volume going up and they are also reviewing their entire landscaping plan. Waldhauser asked if there will be any change fo the signage. Croaston showed the Commission an elevation sketch of the proposed remodeled store and noted that there will be slight changes in the signage. Kluchka asked if there is currently a problem with cars stacking. Croaston said the new drive-thru configuration will help with the flow. Waldhauser asked if the playland area will remain. Croaston said yes and explained that the demographic information shows that a playland makes sense in this location. Kisch asked if the number of seats in the dining room will change. Croaston said the dining room will be completely remodeled and there will probably be fewer seats. ;, m McCaity asked'if they will have enough parking spaces if their variance request is granted. Croaston said yes and added that he has worked with other stores that have the same sales volume that have 50 to 60 parking spaces. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public hearing. MOVED by Schmidgall, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of amending Conditional Use Permit CU-68, 9315 Medicine Lake Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission July 25, 2011 Page 3 Road, to allow for the construction of a second drive-thru land subject to the following conditions: 1.

(All businesses operating drive-thru services in Golden Valley require CUP's). There is currently one drive-thru lane at the restaurant. The proposed drive-thru lane addition is part of a larger plan to remodel the existing store coinciding with a national McDonald's rebranding program. McDonald's plans to redesign the exterior of the store to reflect a more modern appearance, as well as refresh the interior decor and features. As part af this project, McDonald's plans to add another drive-thru lane to help facilitate drive-thru traffic and improve the existing parking lot to meet current Fire Code requirements. McDonald's is also currently seeking a variance to City Code for a reduction of parking spaces (City Code requires that McDonald's have 85 parking spaces — McDonald's is seeking to have 78 total parking spaces). The current McDonald's store was constructed in the late 1990s. At that time, a pre-existing McDonald's store on the site was demolished. To construct the new store, McDonald's needed to obtain a variance to parking space requirements as well as to landscaped-area requirements along Hillsboro Avenue. The property is located in the Commercial Zaning District, and the site is guided for long term retail (which includes restaurants) use in the Comprehensive Plan. The Medicine Lake Road McDonald's indicates that its volume of drive-thru customers has increased. It reports its current volume of drive-thru sales at 63.8% of its overall restaurant sales (this up from 45% of total drive-thru sales in the late 1990s). 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. McDonald's has noted an increase in drive-thru sales at this location. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The General Land Use Plan Map depicts the proposed site as long-term retail use. Restaurants conform to this land use designation. 3. Effect on Properiy Values in the Area: Staff does not believe the approval of this amended permit will negatively affect property values in the area. 4.

The program dramatically reimages the exterior appearance, refreshes the interior decor, updates any deficiencies in site and building accessibility, and improves operational characteristics relative to menu item changes, product delivery, and client service. Records indicate that drive through traffic volume have increase disproportionately with overall sales at the location. At the time the existing drive through configuration was put in place,the volume was in the neighborhood of 45%of total sales. Current volume is 63.8% and is expected to increase another 5%upon installation of new branding elements and application of the standard McDonald's side by side ordering configuration. Discussion with city staff indicates that a variance has been granted relating to city parking requirements for the current drive through configuration. Any drive through or revision to an existing drive through requires a CUP review and approval.
