whether the Council Member had an open mind about the proposal and answered

future Council/Manager meeting. He did state that he did attend a meeting with some of
the neighborhood residents near the Triton Drive neighborhoad and had conversations with
other residents and spoke with people on both sides of the issue. He also stated he did
have calls where people requested their names be kept confidential, and stated he has yet

generic response, had one conversation with former Council Member Bob Shaffer and that
she has not made a decision on the project.
Council Member Freiberg stated he felt confident that the Cauncil had not made up their

Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 15, 2012
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 Thursday,
March 15, 2Q12. 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
February 13, 2012 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
McCarty stated that he misunderstaod the motion regarding the pubtic hearing for the
proposed PUD on Triton Drive. He said that if he had understaod it he would have
changed his vote.
The Commission discussed their understanding of the motion and suggested that
McCarty write a letter to the Council explaining his concerns.
MOVED by Schmidgall, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to approve
the F�bruary 13, 2012 minutes as submitted.
2. Informal Public Hearing — Subdivision — 15 Meadow Lane North — SU08-10
Applicant: Golden Valley Land Co. — Matt Pavek
Address: 15 Meadow Lane North
Purpose: Ta allow the applicant ta divide one single family residential lot into
four single family residential lots (the existing hame will remain)
Grimes referred to a site plan of the property and explained that the applicant is propasing
ta keep the existing home and divide the 2.1 acre lot into four single family residential lots.
He stated that the applicant is requesting a variance of 5 feet to allow the corner lot (Lot
2) to be 95 feet in width instead of 100 feet as required along Meadow Lane North. (The
applicant's original request was for Lot 2 to be 90 feet in width).He stated that all of the
proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size requirement and conform to fhe requirements
of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code.
Waldhauser asked if the variance request will haue to go to #he Board of Zoning Appeals.
Grimes said no and explained that the City Council would grant variances from the
Subdivision Code whereas the Board af Zoning Appeals would grant variances from the
Zoning Code.
Waldhauser referred to the City Engineer's staff repart where it states that a buffer around
the pond is "encouraged." She questioned if the buffer could be required in order to help
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Page 2
filter the water. Grimes stated that the applicant prefers to keep the existing landscaping
that currently exists around the pond. McCarty noted that a buffer would also help keep
geese out of the pond.
Segelbaum asked where the additional 5 feet came from in order to make the corner lot
95 feet in width rather than 9Q feet as originally proposed. Grimes stated that the
applicant shifted the lots in order to make the corner lot be 95 feet in width.
Waldhauser asked about the setback from the wetland. Grimes stated that there is a 25-
faot setback required from the wetland.
Kluchka referred to the Planning staff report where it states that corner lots have to 20
feet greater than interior lots and asked for clarification. Grimes explained that the
Subdivisian Code requires interior lots to be 80 feet in width and corner lots to be 100 feet
width, which is 20 feet greater.
Kisch asked if both property lines along a corner lot have to measure 100 feet in width.
Grimes said both property lines are required to be 100 feet in width and explained that the
width of a lot is measured at the front setback line and the narrower side af a lot is
considered to be the front.
Segelbaum noted that one of the criteria for approval listed in the Planning staff report
states that a subdivision request shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the
requirements of the appropriate zoning district. Grimes stated that the proposed lots can
meet the requirements of the Single Family Zoning District; the variance request is from
the Subdivision Code. Se�elbaum asked if the City has any authority to deny this
proposal. Grimes said, in his opinion, no.
Waldhauser clarified that there are two issues. One is the subdivision request and one is
the variance request. She suggested they vote on the items separately.
McCarty referred to the City Engineer's memo where it states that the builder must
"ensure" that each stormwater management plan submitted meets the lowest floor
elevation requirements. He said he thinks the word "ensure" is ambiguous and hard to
enforce. Grimes explained that the applicant, per ordinance, wilf have to submit
stormwater management plans that meet the City's requirements.
Kluchka asked Grimes if he is aware of any covenants on this property that would limit the
ability to subdivide it. Grimes said no.
Peter Knaeble, Terra Engineering, explained that all of the plans submitted represent
conforming lots. He explained that they are asking for a variance on the width of Lot 2 as
an aptional plan that would allow Lot 3 to be shifted slightly in order to allow the house to
be built further away from the pond. He stated that if the City doesn't feel that the variance
is justifiable they can still do the project using conforming lot widths. Knaeble referred to a
site plan of the property and reiterated that the praposal is to keep the existing home and
allow three new homes to be built which he feels is a benefit to Golden Valley.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commissian
March 15, 2012

Knaeble stated that each lot will be custom graded and they are estimating 20 out of the
128 trees, or 15% of the trees will be removed. The tree preservation plan allows up to
40% of the trees ta be removed. He explained that they've looked at several options and
if the existing house were remaved there could be six conforming lots on this property. He
noted that the lots they are proposing are fairly large and will be bigger than the average
lots in the neighborhood. He explained that they have three goals in developing this
property. One is to keep the existing house and design large lots around it, the second
goal is to maintain the look of the pond view on the corner lot (Lot 4) and third goal is to
maintain the perimeter trees as much as possible. He showed the Commissian an
illustration of other subdivisions done in the area and noted that this is the last of the lots
in this area that hasn't been subdivided.
Knaeble showed the Commission a picture of the pond and said his goal is to keep it the
way it is, without the recommended vegetative buffer. He said he understands the
requirements regarding the buffer area but a buffer strip would not be appropriate in this
location because of the size of the watershed.
Waldhauser asked about the maintenance of the pond. Knaeble stated that three
properties will share the maintenance responsibility and will also meet the City and
watershed requirements. He added that the City will have a public drainage and utility
easement over the pond and an access easement an Meadaw Lane which they do not
currently have today.
McCarty asked Knaebls why he is against having the vegetative buffer strip around the
pond. Knaeble said he thinks a 10 to 15-foot un-mown buffer strip will ruin the views and
be a detriment to the neighborhood. He added that the existing grass around the pond will
pravide some filtration.
Kluchka asked Knaeble if there is any history af the pond flooding. Knaeble said he
wasn't aware of a history of the pond flooding.
Waldhauser asked about the elevation of the house on Lot 3 compared to the elevation of
the pond. Knaeble stated that the pond has an elevation of 859 and the lowest floor
elevation will be 2 feet above that. Waldhauser asked where the 25-foot setback from the
pond is measured from. Knaeble stated that the setback is measured from the edge of the
delineated wetland edge, not the water.
Segelbaum referred to Lot 3 and asked how far away the house would be from the pond if
the requested variance is granted. Knaeble said the variance would allow the home on
Lot 3 ta be shifted five feet to north so the home would then be approximately 30 feet
away from the pond. Kisch noted that another 350 square feet of floor space could be
added to the house if the variance were granted.
Kluchka asked if any consideration was given to subdividing the property into three lots
instead of faur. Knaeble said no and reiterated that they are looking at subdividing the
property into four lots with no variances. He added that they would like to have the 5-foot
variance but they don't need it to subdivide the property.

Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Donald Brawne, 4135 Leber Lane, said his immediate concern is the pand and he was
pleased to learn that it won't be filled in. His second concern is regarding the quality of the
houses being built and if there were just 3 lots total it would alleviate some his concerns.
He added that this neighborhood is more historic than others and he wants ta know what
kind af protection there will be.
Leone Fox, 4125 Leber Lane, said she has a problem with flooding and the entire area
was once swampland. She stated that when the original owner of the subject property
built the house he was told he had to install the pond, so it is not purely decorative and at
various times it averflows. She said the more structures that are built the less room there
is for water to seep into the ground. She stated that three years ago the pond overflowed
and water went into the existing home's basement. She asked that a special study be
done and the DNR be consulted before anything is done.
Anna Murray, 12 Meadow Lane North, said there have been 3, 100-year rains since 1979
and water comes gushing down Meadow Lane causing the drains to get filled up with
debris and the pond to overflaw. She said Lot 4 is very low, will hav� to be "built up" and
will drain toward the pond. She referred to the proposed driveway on Lot 4 and said she
would be Iooking at that long driveway and she doesn't understand why there can't be a
shorter driveway onto Glenwood rather than the praposed long driveway onto Meadow
Lane. She added that she thought there was a Supreme Gourt law that says variances
can't be granted unless a lot can't be built on at aIL
Mary Jo Browne, 4135 Leber Lane, said her concern is the way the praposed driveways
are configured. She stated that there is a median with a sign on Meadow Lane and the
sign gets knock�d down, so the driveways coming onto Meadow Lane with the concrete
median seems to be too much for this lot. She stated that she doesn't want to have to be
watching for cars coming out of the driveways every time she drives down Meadow Lane.
She asked if the new houses will be compatible with the neighborhood and questioned
why the driveways can't be on Glenwood instead of Meadow Lane.
Peter Knaeble explained that the homeowner on Lot 4 could ask to have a driveway on
Glenwood but they would need permission from the County ta da so. He said he assumes
the homeowner would want to have their driveway on a quieter street, would want to have
a Meadaw Lane address and would not want to cut down trees along Glenwood to instafl
a driveway. He added that three additional driveways on a residential street would not
overtax the street. He referred to the comments made about the pond flooding and
explained that he doesn't know if the flooding of the basement in the past was caused
from the pond overflowing or from water coming off the roof. He added that they will be
upgrading the outlet pipe of the pond. Waldhauser asked if the outlet upgrade is based on
certain calculations. Knaeble said the calculations are based on the proposed
development.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Leslie Blessing, 3940 Glenwood Ave, said she would also like the driveway on Lot 4 to be
on Glenwood. She stated that she used to live in a low lying area in St. Louis Park and a
neighboring property owner changed the grade of their property, folfowing all the
regulations, but it significantly changed the drainage on her property. She said she
appreciates the view of the subject property and it is important not to have the 10-foot
buffer around the pond.
Carolyn Brunelle, 4211 Glencrest Road, asked if the developer will be required to replace
the trees being removed. Waldhauser said no. Brunelle said she wants to see other
projects this developer has done and she wants to know the timeframe af this project.
She said the proposed lang driveway on Lot 4 will create a dangerous left turn into the
driveway.
Heather Fraser, 115 Maddaus Lane, said she has lost several vehicles due to flooding.
She said she is not sure how the driveways along Leber Lane will fit because there is a 4-
foot high retaining wall along Leber Lane. She said she doesn't understand the footprint
size of the houses and she likes the pond without the buffer. She referred to the picture
shown of the pond and asked which season the picture was taken in and how big the
pond gets after a big rain. She suggested that the developer check the history of the
flooding on the properiy and how high the pond has been.
Eva Jensen, 4010 Roanoke Circle, said she is very pleased with the value Golden Valley
places on trees and the environment but she is startled to hear that 40% of the trees are
allowed to be removed. She asked if that count considers the size, type and age of the
trees and stated that there is mostly buckthorn along Glenwood Ave, She asked about
fencing codss, the proposed footprint size of the houses and the amount of space
between Lots 2 and 3. She added that she is also concerned about the quality of
construction and their compatibility with the neighborhood.
Harry Pulver, 105 Meadow l.ane, said he is not happy about this proposal. He stated that
Golden Valley is a first ring suburb that doesn't feel like it and he questions if this proposal
needs to be four lots. He said the whole neighborhood is built on a swamp and his
backyard gets floaded. He said this is a precarious situation that should be looked at very
carefully.
Bruce Pappas, 20 Ardmore Drive, said he emailed the developer before this meeting and
was told by him that all af the lots were conforming to City Code. Now he is at this
meeting hearing that the developer is requesting a variance. He said his plea to the
Planning Commission is that they not make it easier on the developer because what he is
proposing is a bastardization of this property. He noted that the developer has said he
could subdivide this property into six conforming lots and questioned if the fact that he is
only proposing three new lots is supposed to make the neighbors feel good. He said it
doesn't seem right that the pond can be used when figuring the square footage of these
lots and asked the Commission to abide by the codes and not grant the variance.

Emett Carpel, 24 Ardmore Drive, asked if it has been cansidered to make Lots 2 and 3
into one lot. He said the iconic view of this property will no longer be iconic. He added that
he understands how this development will improve the tax base but questi4ned how it will
improve the neighborhood.
Tom Hansen, 4116 Glencrest Road, referred to the Housing Goals, Objectives and
Policies section of the City's Camprehensive Plan and ques�tioned how they wauld be met
if this subdivision is approved. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan states that the
housing goals would be met through multi-family developments not infill. He stated that
the lot sizes in this area are much larger than the lots in this proposal and questioned
what the Gity is doing to protect the historical value of the neighborhood.
Curt Olson, 80Q Tyrol Trail, said he agrees with what has been said. He asked if Lot 4
could be split again in the future to allow for another home; if so, that would be a shame.
He asked if anything can be done to stop further development.
Anna Murray, 12 Meadow Lane North, asked if there has been any consideration given to
rain gardens since there has been so much talk about flooding.
Lisa Morley, 4006 Roanoke Circle, referred to other hauses in the area that are for sate or
took a long time to sell. She asked if these proposed houses are being built on "spec" and
what will happen if they don't sell. She said she doesn't understand where the demand is
for these houses.
Chis Oldenburg, 240 Meadow Lane North, said he agrees with so many things that have
been said. He said he was part of a minor subdivision that occurred at 240 Meadow Lane
approximately 10 years ago and his understanding is that there is more standing water on
the property now as a result of the grading that was done at that time.
Carolyn Brunelle, 4211 Glencrest Road, said it seems problematic to her to allow three
people to awn one pond.
Vicki McGinty, 4500 Sunset Ridge, said there is a reason she moved to this area but it
has not been easy to stay since the taxes in Golden Valley are horrific and the property
values have gone down. She said there is absolutely no benefit to this project. She said it
is not about being selfish ar not wanting change, the project just isn't practicaf and doesn't
make sense: She said maybe one additional house would be ok but not four. She said it
miffs her that the neighbors have so little control over things that impact them.
Chris Downey, 125 Meadow Lane North, asked if these lots would be able to be split
again in the future and agreed that there has been a lot of flooding in the area.
Pam Lott, 220 Sunnyridge Lane, said she was assured there would be no water problems
when a subdivision was dane in her neighborhood approximately 15 years ago and there
have been water problems ever since so maybe the city engineers should go back to
schooL

Bruce Monick, 4215 Poplar Drive, said this is a very important piece of the neighborhood.
He said the stop sign on the corner af Meadow Lane and Glenwood is run over about six
or seven times per year and it is very dangerous. He said it will be difficult for peopfe ta
get out of the proposed driveways on Meadow Lane and that this proposal does not keep
the property as a park-like setting. He said he would like Lot 4 to have the driveway on
Glenwood instead of Meadow Lane and asked if the house plans will have to be approved
by a City body.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public
hearing.
Schmidgall grouped the questions together for discussian. His first group of questions is
related to the pond, rain gardens, flooding, the proposal that three people own the pond
and the vegetative buffer around tMe pond.
Grimes said the City Engineer's memo addresses the issues af the pond. He said some
people may not agree with him, but he is the professional engineer for the City and it his
opinion that with the homes built 2 feet above the 100-year flood elevation there should
not be problems with flooding in this situation.
Kluchka asked who is responsible if the pond doesn't wark. Grimes said if there is a 500-
year flood, it won't work. Grimes added that the City will have an easement over the pond
so it will be under the control of, and maintained by, the City. Waldhauser reiterated that
the pond was built just for the watershed of this property. Knaeble added that the pond
will be owned by Lots 1, 3 and 4 and there will be a restrictive covenant on the deed
regarding that ownership.
Schmidgall said the next group of issues to be discussed is relating to traffic and the
location of driveways.
Grimes explained that as often as passible, the City likes to see driveways located on the
streets with the lowest amount of traffic. He said he doesn't think Hennepin County would
like to see curb cuts onto Glenwoad Avenue but the awner could apply for a permit
through the County. He noted that the locations of the driveways on the site plans are
illustrative at this point and could change.
Schmidgall said the next questions were regarding the iconic view of the pond and the
potential to further subdivide the property. Waldhauser said she did not think Lot 1 could
be further split because there wouldn't be street access. She noted that a homeowner
could purchase additional property to obtain the correct amount of frontage. She said it
seems Lot 4 could potentially be split. McCarty said he daesn't think there would be
enough setback area available ta split Lot 4 any further. Grimes explained that every
praperty owner has the right to propose a subdivision if they meet the requirements.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 15, 2012

Schmidgall referred to the questians regarding the quality of the homes and the size of
the homes' footprints. Grimes stated that as long as a house meets the requirements of
the Zoning Code and Building Code it can be built. He stated that the City daes not have
design criteria but based on the value of the homes in this area, he would guess that
these proposed homes would also be valuable. Schmidgall agreed that the location of the
homes will demand quality.
Schmidgall asked about fencing and said his understanding is that homeowners can
install 6-foot high fences if they want to. Grimes stated that private deed restrictions
regarding fences cauld be placed on the properties however, deed restrictions are not
enforced by the City. He added that the Zoning Code does allow 4-foot high fences in
front yards and 6-foat high fences in side and rear yards.
Schmidgall asked about the tree preservation concerns. Grimes stated that the City daes
have a tree preservation ordinance that the developer will have to follow. He noted that
there will be a tree plan and a grading plan for each lot. He reiterated that the applicant is
proposing to remove 20 trees. He added that he believes trees add value to property and
developers don't typically remove more trees than necessary.
Schmidgall stated the requested variance seems to be more af an afterthought. He would
not be in favor of granting the variance requested because something very nice could be
built on this property without a variance.
Kluchka asked Grimes to give an update of the Supreme Court ruling regarding
variances. Grimes explained that the Supreme Court ruling is in regard to the Zoning
Code requirements. The vari�nce being requested for this proposal is a variance from the
Subdivision Code.
Kluchka asked about the timeframe for the project and if the houses are being built on
"spec" and where the demand is coming from. Knaebte said he hopes to have the plat
finalized by the end of May or the beginning of June and depending on the market, finro or
three of the homes may start construction this summer. Grimes added that if the market is
nat there, the land will just sit as is. Knaeble agreed and said he would be responsible for
maintaining the property. He added that these lots will be sold to families who want to
build houses using their own builder; they will not be building "spec" homes.
Kisch asked Knaeble if he has thought about covenants or restrictive deeds regarding
fences and the pond. Knaeble said they have considered restrictive deeds regarding
fences and the pond, but he can't guarantee them.
Kluchka asked Knaeble if he knew the possible footprint or size of the new homes.
Knaeble said they don't have designs for the houses because it will depend on what the
homeowners decide to build. He sxplained that whatever is built wilt meet the Zoning
Code requirements and he would expect that the quality of the new homes to meet or
exceed the homes in the area.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 15, 2012
Page 9
Waldhauser asked how much space there would be between the homes on Lots 2 and 3.
Knaeble said there would be a minimum of 25 feet between the homes on Lots 2 and 3.
Waldhauser asked if there will be enough room to allow for a larger setback if the hames
are taller than 15 feet in height as required. Grimes said yes, if the homes are tatler than
15 feet the side yard setback requirements will increase.
Segelbaum asked Knaeble to comment on the lat sizes. Knaeble said the average lot size
for the whole development is approximately one-half acre which exceeds the
neighborhood average. He added that he would not expect that it wauld be feasible to
further split these lots in the future.
Kluchka referred to the residents' comments about the goals and objectives in the
Comprehensive Plan. Waldhauser said she thinks any paragraph or sentence in the
Comprehensive Plan could be interpreted a number of ways. Kisch agreed and said the
Comprehensive Plan guides decisions and has vision statements that the City hopes ta
attain, but the Gity still has to follow its ordinances and codes.
Waldhauser stated that many homeowners are nat interested in having large lots. They
. want nice homes on smaller lots.
Schmidgall agreed that the Comprehensive Plan is intended to guide or inform. He said
he wants these propased new homes to be attractive to families wanting to move into
Golden Valley and they provide opportunity for the kinds of goals and objectives
mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan. He said he is in favor of supporting this propasal.
Kisch stated that the City really can't deny subdivisions that conform to the requirements.
He said he doesn't think the requested variance is needed because the homes can be of
great quality and conform to the requirements without the need for a variance. He also
said he would like to strongly encourage restrictions on fences.
Segelbaum said he agrees that the City doesn't have much right to deny this proposal. He
said he thinks it would be difficult ta further subdivide Lot 4 in the future. He added that he
would be in favor of granting the requested variance because moving the house on Lot 3
further away from the pond would create a safer environment and would make it less
prone to flooding. Grimes agreed that these lots would be very difficult to subdivide any
further.
Waldhauser stated that compliance with the normal lot regulations in this case isn't an
issue. She said she doesn't have concerns about granting the requested variance
because there will be net improvements as a result, but she would like to separate the
issues into two vote�. She said she feels confident there wilf be beautiful homes built on
the property. She referred to a question regarding how many more infill opportunities
there are in the area and said she doesn't think there are a lot of opportunities left.

3. G. Approval of Conditional Extension for Filing of Plat and Submitting Final PUD P(an
Application - PUD #107 - The Towers at West End - Southwest Quadrant of I-394 and
Highway 100 - Duke Realty, Applicant
Prepared By
Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Summary
At the March 3, 2009 City Council meeting, the Council approved the Preliminary PUD Plan
and Preliminary Plat for The Towers at West End PUD No. 107. The Council has approved
five 180-day extensions since the original Preliminary PUD approval.
The Preliminary PUD Plan and Preliminary Plat provide for the construction of a 4,000+
space parking deck attached to several office buildings that are located in St. Louis Park. Due
to market conditions, Duke is requesting an extension for the filing of their applications for the
Final PUD plan and the Final Plat.
When the PUD was last extended, the City Council required the following:
"Duke shall cooperate with the Metropalitan Council Environment Services (MCES) in
the construction of the 1-GV-461 Reliever project. The Reliever project is required to
be constructed by MCES to increase sanitary sewer capacity to serve Duke's West
End development and other future development in certain parts of Golden Valley and
St. Louis Park. The cooperation may include the dedication of property easements for
the construction of a lift station, forcemain, air relief, or gravity lines as outlined in the
MCES plans for 1-GV-461. If the City or MCES determines that there has not been
adequate cooperation from Duke, the City retains the right to place additianal
conditions on future extensions to the Preliminary PUD Plan for the Final PUD Plan."
At this time, staff recommends that the extension of the PUD approval be a conditional 180
days. Staff will monitor the efforts by MCES and Duke to reach a conclusion on the

3. H. Support of the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board's Application for an Enviranmental
Response Fund Grant from Hennepin County
Prepared By
leannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
In 2Q11, while working on its Wirth Lake Site Improvements Project, the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board (MPRB) discovered soils contaminated by an undocumented diesel fuel spill
located in the area between the Wirth Beach parking lot and the wetland. The attached location
map shows the area of contaminated soils. MPRB has contacted the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency to enroll the site in the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup Program and to develop a
Response Action Plan.
MPRB is seeking an Environmental Response Fund Grant from the Hennepin County Department
of Environmental Services to assist with the cost of remediation. As part of the grant application
process, and as required by state statute, MPRB must obtain the approval of the City in which the
clean-up site is located. As the site within Wirth Park is located in the City of Golden Valley,
Golden Valley's City Council must adopt a resolution approving the clean-up project and
supporting the grant application.

Agenda Item
3. L. Authorization ta Approve Sending a Written Request to Hennepin County Administrator and
Request Hennepin County Board Provide Public Safety Dispatch Services
Prepared By
Stacy Carlson, Chief of Police
Summary
Golden Valley has contracted for Police and Fire dispatch service with the City of Edina since
January 2011. The service contract terms with the City of Edina require a 12-month termination
notification. A second request for dispatch services through Hennepin County will take several
months to approve so permission is being sought to send a request letter to allow time for a
decision by the County Board and notification to the City of Edina if the request is ultimately
approved.
To formalize both the request to the County Board of Commissioners and Administrator Richard
Johnson for dispatch services, Council is requested to apprave sending a letter to Administrator
Richard Johnson and a resolution to the County Board indicating the request for public safety
dispatching services.

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing-Amending the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan and Renaming It the I-394
Corridor Redevelopment Plan
Prepared By
Jeanne Andre, Assistant Director, Hausing and Redevelopment Authority
Summary �
In 2010 staff and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) worked on revising the Golden
Hills Redevelopment Plan ta reflect the changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan that came out
of the I-394 Corridor Study. The goal was to amend the existing redevelopment plan to
incorporate zoning changes implemented in 2008 and to expand the geagraphic area in the
Redevelopment Plan to better correspond to the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District, Proposed
changes were reviewed by the City Council at a Council/Manager Meeting, by the Planning
Commission and by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority at a public hearing that extended
aver two meetings. Staff made plan revisions in keeping with the discussion that occurred during
this process, but at its April 11, 2011, the HRA decided to defer final consideration of the
amended plan because of continued uncertainties related to redevelopment of the MnDOT
parcel, lacated at the east end of the redevelopment area.
Continued negotiations between MnDOT, Global Qne Commercial and Metrapolitan Council
Environmental Services have clarified development options for the area to the point that staff
now recommends proceeding to update the redevelopment plan and expand its geographic area.
The Plan was adopted by the HRA on March 13. On March 26 the Planning Commissian found
that the Redevelopment Plan is cvnsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Formal adoption
of the Plan is before the City Council. The Planning Commission also recommended that the
description of the Central Area (Map E) denote that the former Olympic Printing buildings at 701
and 801 Xenia Avenue South have been removed. The attached Plan reflects that change.
Following a public hearing the Council should consider the attached Resolution that adopts the
I-394 Carridor Redevelopment Plan, which is the Amended and Expanded Golden Hills
Redevelopment Plan. The plan as presented generally corresponds to the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning
District.

RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR THE GOLDEN HILLS REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND RENAMING IT THE
I-394 CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council for the City of Golden Valley ("the Council"
and "the City" respectively) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. On October 16, 1984 the City adopted the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan,
which it amended on December 11, 1998.
1.02. It has been proposed that the City modify the Golden Hills Redevelopment
Plan (the "Plan") as defined by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.002, subdivision 16, by
updating actions taken to date to fulfill the Plan, by expanding the area included in the Plan
in keeping with the I-394 Corridor Study, by outlining actions yet to be taken, and by
renaming it the I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Plan.
1.03. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley ("the
HRA") has investigated the facts and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.001 to
469.047, has caused to be prepared a proposed revision of the Plan (the "Revised Plan")
for the I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Area setting forth the information specified in Section
1.02, which it adopted on March 13, 2012.
1.04. On March 26, 2012, the Planning Commission reviewed the Revised Plan
and found it in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
1.05. On April 5, 2012 notice of a public hearing on the desirability of amending the
Plan was published, as required by law, in the official newspaper of the City.
1.06. The Council held a public hearing on the Revised Plan on April 17, 2012.
Section 2. Approval of Revised Redevelopment Plan. On the basis of the Revised
Plan adopted by the HRA and the information elicited from consultation with the Planning
Commission and at the public hearing referenced above:
2.01. The Revised Plan proposes that the Authority undertake certain
redevelopment activities for the purpose of encouraging redevelopment of properties in the
Redevelopment Area. The Council hereby finds that the Revised Plan would improve the
Redevelopment Area by retarding blight and encouraging private redevelopment of
property therein, thereby increasing employment and housing opportunities and the tax
base of the City and overlapping taxing jurisdictions.
Resolution 12-30 - Continued April 17, 2012
2.02. The Council hereby finds that in certain cases the land in the Revised
Redevelopment Project Area would not or may not be made available without the financial
aid sought since private developers could not economically develop the Revised
Redevelopment Project Area without the proposed redevelopment activities.
2.03. The Council hereby finds that the Revised Plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of
the Revised Redevelopment Project Area by private enterprise.
2.04. The Council hereby finds that the Revised Plan conforms to the general plan
for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole and is compatible with the
City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and encourages efficient use of
existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use Plan. It is in the best interests of
the City to approve the Revised Plan.
2.05. The Council hereby approves the Revised Plan attached hereto as
Attachment A and directs that it be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Attachment A
I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Plan
(Amended and Expanded Golden Hilis Redevelopment Plan)
Section 1. Introduction
In 1984 the City adopted the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan. The Project Area originally
covered 93.72 acres of commercial and industrial properties centered near the anticipated
intersection of Xenia Avenue and the to-be-constructed I-394. It is now expanded to include
272.19 acres and renamed the I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Plan. All areas in the
expanded area are designated in Maps A and B and in individual maps detailing each
subdistrict.
The original redevelopment area had a westerly boundary of Colorado Avenue and a
northerly boundary on Laurel Avenue. (Includes Areas designated South, East, Central and
West.) In 1999 the Project Area was expanded to take in property north of Laurel Avenue
along a corridor that extended Xenia Avenue northward and incorporated the new Davis
Community Center. (Added the area designated Xenia Avenue Extension.)
In 2007 the City completed the I-394 Corridor Study, which included most of the Golden
Hills Redevelopment Area and the largely industrial property extending west to Rhode
Island Avenue South. The amended Plan expands the amended Golden Hills
Redevelopment Project Area to include parts of the I-394 Corridor Study Area and renames
the Plan to reflect this addition. (Adds areas designated Florida, Louisiana East, Louisiana
West, and Rhode Island.)

Section 2. Statement of Need and Public Purpose, Statutory
Authorization
The Authority finds that there is a need for development within the City and the Project
Area in order to provide employment and housing opportunities, to improve the local tax
base, and to improve the general economy of the City and the State. The economic
security of the people in the City depends upon proper development of property that meets
any one of a number of conditions, including properties whose values are too low to pay for
the public services required or rendered and properties whose lack of use or improper use
has resulted in stagnant or unproductive land that could otherwise contribute to the public
health, safety, and welfare.
The Authority finds that in many cases such property cannot be developed without public
participation and assistance in various forms including property acquisition and/or write-
down, proper planning, the financing of development costs associated with clearance,
grading and soils correction, and the making of various other public and private
improvements necessary for development. In cases where the development of property
cannot be done by private enterprise alone, the Authority believes it to be in the public
interest to consider the exercise of its powers, to advance and spend public money, and to
provide the means and impetus for such development.
The Authority finds that in certain cases property within the Project Area would or may not
be available for development without the specific financial aid to be sought, that the
Redevelopment Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City
as a whole, for the development of the Project Area by private enterprise, and that this
Redevelopment Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a
whole.
It is the intention of the Governing Body, notwithstanding the enumeration of specific goals
and objectives in the Redevelopment Plan, that the Authority shall have and enjoy with
respect to the Project Area the full range of powers and duties conferred upon the Authority
pursuant to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Act, the Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) Act, municipal housing and redevelopment authority laws, and such other
legal authority as the Authority may have or enjoy from time to time.
The HRA Act authorizes the Authority to exercise all the powers relating to a housing and
redevelopment authority granted under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047,
or other law.
Section 3. Background
One of the reasons for establishing the Golden Hills redevelopment area was to provide a
means for addressing issues and opportunities arising in connection with plans to upgrade
old Trunk Highway 12 (now I-394) to interstate highway status.
The City's first step was to enact a construction rnoratorium along the entire Highway 12
corridor from September 1979 to September 1980 while waiting for the final I-394 design
plans. Following a period of background research and documentation, Golden Valley's
1982 comprehensive plan update identified part of the highway corridor as a "study area"
due to "signs of deterioration within the area and potential for redevelopment in conjunction
with anticipated upgrading of Highway 12 to I-394." Another moratorium from April 1984 to
April 1985 allowed the HRA to establish the Golden Hills redevelopment area, Golden Hills
Tax Increment Financing district, and related plan documents for both.
The original Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan examined then-existing land use conditions,
determined appropriate long-term land use categories, and established more specific
redevelopment uses that corresponded to the land use categories.
The original Golden Hills plan anticipated programming of redevelopment activities over a
period of five to ten years. A real estate market decline in the late 1980s and circulation
disruptions while the new interstate highway was under construction significantly slowed
redevelopment.
The need for improved north/south access into and through Golden Hills to accommodate
and facilitate the full extent of redevelopment activity contemplated in the plan was the
impetus for adding the Xenia Avenue Extension Area to the Project Area in 1999. The
existence of excess railroad right-of-way located just north of the Golden Hills Central Area
offered an opportunity to provide improved access to the redeveloped areas.
The I-394 Corridor Study area was identified as susceptible to land use change due to its
location along I-394, its proximity to other major freeways, and its direct access to
Downtown Minneapolis. Based on Study recommendations the City Council, effective
December 1, 2008, adopted the new I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District. The City Council also
re-guided the Comprehensive Plan to incorporate this change in land use. As this area has
significant development in place, the change in land use will only happen through
redevelopment.
Section 4. Guiding Principals
As part of the I-394 Study process, guiding principals were adopted and approved. The
principles are concise statements that establish the direction and intention of the study.
They were adopted by the City Council in December 2005. These principles have been
modified for the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan to guide future redevelopment along the
I-394 Corridor.
1. Enable the corridor to evolve toward a diverse mix of land uses, including
residential as well as commercial and industrial. A mix of activities, uses, and densities
will help sustain the corridor through changing economic cycles, consumer preferences,
and housing trends. Mixed uses can create synergies and increase the level of pedestrian
activity. Active uses (such as retail) at ground floor level can help to create activity after
working hours. At the same time, the corridor should complement, not compete with, the
Hwy 55/Winnetka district, the City's civic downtown.
2. Maximize integration rather than separation of land uses, where appropriate. Many
land uses can benefit from increased integration with one another, including neighborhood-
serving retail, multi-family and senior housing, offices, and low-impact services. Existing
non-conforming land uses, such as auto-oriented commercial or industrial uses, can benefit
from integration with newly permitted uses. Redevelopment is subject to design guidelines,
as specified by the Zoning District.
3. Maintain the corridor as an employment center. Jobs within the corridor help maintain
Golden Valley's jobs-housing balance while sustaining commercial enterprises. Fostering
'living wage' jobs should be a priority in redevelopment projects.
4. Improve the visual coherence and attractiveness of the corridor. Improvements in
streetscapes, landscaped areas, open spaces, building aesthetics, and parking/service
areas all contribute to a more unified and visually appealing environment, with an increased
sense of identity. Buildings and other private improvements should make positive
contributions to the district and the broader public realm, while public improvements should
set the standard for private investment.
5. Improve connectivity for all modes. The development of I-394 and subsequent road
realignments have resulted in a discontinuous and confusing circulation system.
Improvements in east-west vehicular circulation and north-south pedestrian circulation are
most needed; however, roadways should be designed to be attractive and safe for all
modes af travel. Xenia Avenue, Golden Hills Drive, Turners Crossroad, Louisiana Avenue,
and Laurel Avenue are to be preserved as primary arterial traffic corridors.
6. Foster neighborhood-serving retail and services. Commercial development should
include a variety of small independent businesses and larger enterprises that serve City
residents, supplementing and broadening the current mix of commercial uses.
7. Maintain or improve the functioning of intersections and highway interchanges.
The functioning of the I-394 interchanges at Xenia and �ouisiana Aves, and other key
intersections within the corridor, is critical to maintaining commercial viability and
neighborhood quality of life. New development must be carefully planned, evaluated, and
designed so that interchanges and intersections continue to function at an adequate level.
8. Foster sustainable development and work to establish a balance between urban
and natural systems. Encourage the application of green building and infrastructure
techniques. Examples include low-impact development that maintains the natural functions
of the land, reduces storm water runoff, and fosters resource conservation and the use of
renewable systems in new construction.
9. Implementing and facilitating all modes of transportation. In recent years, traffic
congestion on Interstate 394 has become increasingly worse. New development along the
corridor must emphasize the usage of mass transportation, car pooling, and non-motorized
transportation. In addition, aspects of active living must be considered in developments.
Section 5. Redevelopment Plan Components
The I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Project Area is divided for planning purposes into nine
sub-areas (Exhibit B), five from the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan and four new ones.
Included in the originalty-established boundaries are the West Area, the Central Area, the
East Area, and the South Area. The Xenia Avenue Extension Area was added in 1999. The
four new areas are the Florida Avenue, Louisiana East, Louisiana West and the Rhode
Island Areas. The following pages describe each sub-area in turn, outlining land use
characteristics and summarizing planned and completed redevelopment activities. A
substantial amount of additional documentation on initial property conditions can be found
in the original Golden Hills plan and in other records maintained by the HRA.
Section 6. Methods of Financing
The City and its Housing and Redevelopment Authority plan to use tax abatement, tax-
increment financing, public improvement financing and/or the sale of bonds to support
projects within the Redevelopment Area. New financial plans will be created as necessary
and will be approved as part of a specific project.

Land Use
There has been little redevelopment activity in this sub-area to date. Some private
redevelopment has occurred. In 2001, the nursing home at the southeast corner of Circle
Down and Turners Crossroad was converted to office use and in 2004, portions of the
Golden Hills Shopping Center were demolished. The remaining portion of the shopping
center is now fully occupied by restaurant uses. A vacant 4.5 acre site east of the shopping
center is owned by MnDOT. It has been declared excess property and is available for
redevelopment.
Since the construction of Interstate 394, traffic and roadway alignment in this area has
been an issue. In the future, traffic movement in the area could be evaluated to see if
alternative roadway alignments could improve neighborhood circulation and access.
Boundaries and Size
Bounded on the west by Turners Crossroad, on the south by the city limits/I-394 fence line,
on the east by the Highway 100/I-394 interchange, and on the north by the south boundary
of a row of single family lots lining the south side of Circle Down.
Approximately 13.97 acres in size.

This new sub-area of Golden Hills, as its name implies, provided for the extension of Xenia
Avenue northward from Laurel Avenue to a new terminus at Turners Crossroad north of
Glenwood Avenue. The street extension alleviated a hazardous intersection at Glenwood
Avenue and Turners Crossroad and simplified the poorly-defined north/south access route
between the Central Area and the rest of Golden Valley.

Land Use
This sub-area includes office, light industrial, and automotive-related uses. The area is
guided to have mixed use development. The area is directly adjacent to a single family
residential neighborhood. Therefore, less intense land uses are desired for this location.
Boundaries and Size
Bounded on the west by Rhode Island Avenue South, on the south by Wayzata Boulevard,
on the east by Pennsylvania Avenue South, and on the north by Laurel Avenue.
Approximately 16.8 acres in size.
Section 6. Land Use
Traditionally, the I-394 Corridor has been comprised of primarily industrial, commercial, and
office uses. The transition of the corridor to mixed uses requires that individual land uses
work to complement one another and enhance the cohesiveness of the area. Standards
have been developed for individual land uses to increase their ability to coexist among
other land use designations within the corridor.
1. Housing
Housing, in a variety of configurations (multi-story multifamily buildings, the upper
floors of mixed-use buildings, attached single-family units such as townhouses) and
including rental and owner-occupied (condominium or cooperative), will be
incorporated in the Project Area. An emphasis on lifecycle housing will be emphasized
in the corridor.
Current Development: A limited amount of housing currently exists within the
Amended Golden Hills Redevelopment Area.
2. Commercial retail and service uses
The Project Area will include commercial retail and other service uses that are
integrated into mixed or multi-use developments, gradually moving away from the
current pattern of small free-standing convenience retail. A grocery store is also
encouraged as a medium-sized freestanding retail facility that would meet
neighborhood needs.
Current Development: Commercial uses within the proposed I-394 Redevelopment
Area currently include fast-food and casual dining restaurants, big-box retailers, a gas
station, auto dealerships, and several independent retailers and service providers.
3. Business and professional office uses.
Office uses often have significant traffic impacts. The I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District
will typically require traffic analyses and subsequent traffic management plans to
minimize traffic congestion.
Current Development: Several large-scale office buildings exist in the Project Area.
They are typically part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Professional offices
also currently exist as components of existing business operations.
4. Open space. The development plan does not identify any sites for new public parks or
plazas, but large developments would be encouraged to provide improved open space
as part of their composition. Plazas and open space available to the public will be
encouraged in private developments. Enhanced streetscape treatments along major
streets will also enhance the area's appearance.
Current Development: No public open space exists in the proposed I-394
Redevelopment Area. However, the Laurel Avenue Greenbelt exists to the north of the
area, and serves as an important buffer between the Project Area, and the less
intense land uses in the R-1 Residential Zoning District.
5. Existing industrial uses. No industrial uses are planned for the Project Area.
Current Development: A number of large industrial facilities, automotive sales and
service facilities are located in the Project Area.
These uses could remain in the area indefinitely, but the City will consider
redevelopment or reuse proposals for sites that may be ready for more intense and
market-responsive uses.
Section 7. Goals, Objectives, and Policies
To achieve its mission of structured redevelopment, the Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan
has instituted goals, objectives, and policies. These items, listed below, encourage
cohesive planning and structured redevelopment within the Project Area.
Goal 1 — Community Enhancement
Objectives
■ Increased jobs and tax base.
• Visually attractive development.
■ Recognizable features which reflect Golden Valley and enhance community identity.
■ Job and tax-based growth at environmentally sustainable levels.
Policies
The City will study planned land uses in the Project Area after all zoning changes are in
place, to determine the need or desirability of area-wide plan amendments accommodating
altered land use demand.
Goal 2 — High Quality Development
Objectives
■ High quality new developments that are visually attractive and respect their
surroundings.
• Development that meets environmental criteria set forth by Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) and the United States Department of Energy.
■ Use of environmentally sustainable 'green building' practices when possible.
■ Development that meets criteria for active living.
Policies
The City will assure that its review processes, zoning, and building regulations are
designed to promote desired development projects.
The City will establish a list of qualifying criteria to serve as a selection standard for
targeting Community Development Block Grant or other redevelopment funds.
The City will review existing properties to consider their long term viability and/or options for
alternative use.
The City will consider various approaches and/or incentives to promote a Project Area
beautification program. This program could include public and private components.
Goal 3 — Redevelopment of Obsolete Properties
Objectives
■ Redevelopment of parcels that are blighted, functionaily obsolete, economically
unsustainable, or incompatible with adjacent uses.
Policies
The City will assure that new uses in the redevelopment area are compatible with existing
development and the City's land use plan.
The City may consider providing public subsidy to those redevelopment projects that serve
a substantial public purpose, remove blight, or mitigate contamination.
Goal 4 — Protection of the Environment
Objectives
■ Preserve and enhance wetlands
• Prevent and correct soil and wetland contamination
■ Preserve and cultivate arborous environments
• Restore native vegetation where appropriate
■ Maintain existing natural features
■ Reduce light in the night sky
• Co-locate higher density uses with commercial services to reduce the amount of
auto travel and corresponding air pollution
Policies
The City will remain a leader in urban environmental protection by promoting area parks
and open space, and setting development standards that uphold environmental guidelines.
The City will continue to explore Sustainable Development research, for possible
incorporation into future updates of this plan.
Goal 5 — Maintain a Regional Framework
Objectives
■ Implement Metropolitan Council growth and development policies when appropriate.
■ Take advantage of State and County funding.
■ Maintain a positive relationship with surrounding communities and governmental
agencies.
■ Continue to support traffic management plans.
Policies
Accommodate mixed use developments and increase land use density where appropriate
in accordance with the Metro Council's regional growth strategy.
Monitor need for additional transit opportunities and encourage the development of local
and regional transit opportunities within the Project Area.

Agenda Item
4. B. Public Hearing- Ordinance#482 -Amending Section 11.70, Regarding Minimum Number of
Off-Street Parking Spaces
Prepared By
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner
Bryanna Vidden, Planning Intern
Summary
The Planning Commission asked that staff perform an analysis of Golden Valley's parking
requirements as they relate to current development trends. The Planning Commission thought
that, perhaps, Golden Valley's parking requirements were too strenuous for certain land uses.
Following data collection and field research, the Planning Commission recommends changing
parking space requirements for multiple family housing, community centers, financial
institutions, trade and training schools, clubs and lodges. Changes are illustrated on the attached
section of City Code.

p s. Andre explained that it is a stat tory requirement to have a redevelop plan
w e there is a redevelopment area. redevelopment plan is also re ' in order to
create increment finance (TIF) dis icts. She added that it also , d by the Planning
Commiss the HRA and City Coun I to all come together a gree on the intent for
the redevelop nt area so the develo ment community u rstands the City's intent.
Waldhauser stated tha redevelopm nt plan is `ccessor document to, or another
piece of, the Comprehensi lan. An re sta `that a redevelopment plan is more of a
visionary guide needed to do r velo m f, whereas the Comprehensive'Plan and
Zoning Code are land use controls equire a higher level of specificity.
Hogeboom stated that the Gol Hill Re elopment Plan already exists it just`needs
to be updated with this am ` ed plan, e reite ed that the Zoning Code states what
type of use can be deve ed in this a a. Kluchka ted that a redevefopment plan is
really a marketing too ogeboom sai yes and state t these fiypes of plans are used
to illustrate what t City wants to see n a redevelopment�� a.

Section 11.70 "Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations" —Z�00-89
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider amending the amount of parking required for certain uses.
Vidden reminded'the Com;mission that this item was tabled at their January meeting in
order to compare Golden Valley's parking ordinance with other cities, to observe various
parking lots within Golden Valley and to discuss parking conditions at various parks
throughout the City with the Director of Parks and Recreation.
She explained that as a result of further study Staff is recommending that parking
requirements at parks remain the same because the existing parking areas are adequate
for everyday use.
She discussed the parking conditions at retail locations, gas stations, fast food
restaurants and banks and stated that staff is recommending a reduction of parking to 1
space per 300 square feet of gross floor area for banks, but the parking requirements for
other locations appeared to be adequate.

She stated that staff is also recommending that the parking requirements for community
centers be changed to 1 space per 300 square feet of gross floor area, multiple family
properties be reduced to 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit without requiring enclosed parking
spaces, clubs/lodges be reduced to 1 space per 3.5 seats and trade and training schools
be reduced to 1 space per 5 students.
Waldhauser referred to the parking comparison chart and noted that compared to other
cities Golden Valley is being aggressive about getting rid of unnecessary parking.
Cera referred to gas station parking and asked Vidden if she researched the requirements
regarding service stalls. Vidden explained that parking spots at the pumps are not
considered service stalls so the recommendation is to keep the requirement at gas
stations requiring 8 spaces plus 4 per service stalL
Kisch said he likes that the parking ordinance establishes a minimum number of parking
spaces rather than a maximum.
MOVED by Kisch, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the amended off-street parking requirements as presented.

Vidden stated that she studied the Gity's parking requirements in response to a request
by the Planning Commission to determine if Golden Valley requires too much parking.
She discussed her study which included comparisons with other cities and explained that
staff is recommending to amend the parking regulations to require fewer parking spaces
in nine of the use categories.
Waldhauser asked for examples of which properties would be impacted by the proposed
amendments. Vidden stated that her study shawed that Golden Valley is on par with other
similar cities.

Waldhauser referred to the parking requirements at ball fields. She stated that ball fields
are heavily used and there may be camplaints about there not being enough parking
spaces. Kisch agreed and said currently the City tends to approach parking as requiring a
minimum amount rather than a maximum amaunt. He referred to Walgreen's recent
variance request for fewer parking spaces than required because they didn't feel they
needed as many as the City Code required them to have. He said he likes parking
language that puts more emphasis on a use and puts a cap on the number of spaces
allowed rather than a minimum.
Segelbaum asked if comments or complaints regarding parking could be examined.
Hogeboom stated that comments or complaints are dealt with on a case-by-case basis
and that there isn't a data base kept on file.
Cera referred to the requirements for ball fields which states that 1 space is required per 6
seats. He questioned how "seats" are considered when there are no benches ar
bleachers. He also questioned the requirements regarding gas stations and if a service
stall or a space at the gas pump is counted in the parking totals. He questioned if the
numbers proposed for gas stations were inadvertently raised instead of lowered. He
suggested ball fields and gas statians be looked at again.
Hogeboam said he would talk to the Park and Recreation Qepartment about the parking
at ball fields in order to get a better idea of how many spaces to require.
McCarty referred to the "adequate plan" language and asked haw that is defiined because
it seems ambiguous.
Schmidgall said he thinks this draft was a nice effort and is moving in the right direction.
He added that the City almost always reduces the amount of parking required for
developments when asked to do so. He said he would be inclined to recommend approval
of these proposed changes and take another look at it in the future if needed.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Stacy Hoschka, 6400 Golden Valley Road, referred to Meadawbraok School and stated
that it is unique because it is also a community center. She questioned the number of
parking spaces required far those two uses. She added that parking is a really big
problem at Meadowbrook and there aren't nearly enough parking spaces.
Hogeboom explained that the regular parking requirements in the Zoning Code don't
apply at Meadowbrook because it is a PUD. Therefore, the PUD Permit would dictate the
parking requirements.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the pu�lic
hearing.
Waldhauser said she would like to have staff provide some examples of properties where
adjustments could be made and examples of properties where there aren't enough

parking spaces or where there are too many parking spaces. Hogeboam said that staff
will assign specific businesses to Planning Commissioners to review over the next several
weeks. Commissioners will be asked to look at whether or not there is adequate parking
onsite, whether or not snow is stored in the parking lot and if parking lot usage increases
or decreases at different times of the week. Staff will revisit parking regulations with the
Planning Commission at a later meeting to see whether or not the Commission
recommends making additional changes

Date: March 21, 2012
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Bryanna Vidden, Planning Intern
Subject: Continued Informal Public Hearing Amending City Code, Section 11.70:
"Off-Street Parking and Loading"
Background
The Golden Valley Planning Commission requested for planning staff to examine the City's
parking ordinances, in order to assess whether or not Golden Valley's City Code regarding off-
street parking requirements is adequate for the parking conditions within the City. The concern
is that Golden Valley is currently requiring too many parking spaces.
At a previous Planning Commission meeting on January 23, 2012, staff presented a number of
recommended changes to Golden Valley City Code, Section 11.70 "Off-Street Parking and
Loading Regulations" that would place the City on par with other suburban communities in the
Twin Cities metropolitan area. Commissioners suggested that changes to Section 11.70
should be revisited after examining the current parking conditions within the City.
Since parking space requirements are based upon the type of land use in question,
Commissioners noted a number of land uses which should have their parking requirements
examined further. These uses included ball fields/other recreation, fast-food restaurants, retail
stores, banking institutions, and service stations (motor fuel station).
Process
Through examining the parking conditions at locations throughout the City, Commissioners
and staff took consideration of the total number of parking spaces, the number of spaces that
where filled, or empty, if any spaces where being occupied by snow storage, and additional
notes on how traffic flowed through the lot. To be used as examples, the parking conditions at
the following locations were examined: Walgreens on Winnetka Avenue, SuperAmerica on
Market Street, Perkins on Golden Valley Road, Truestone Financial on Country Club Drive,
Wells Fargo Bank on Golden Valley Road, and Burger King on Wayzata Boulevard. After
Planning Staff and Commissioners examined parking conditions at several locations
throughout the City, some conclusions can be made.
To further examine parking conditions at recreational facilities and parks throughout Golden
Valley, Planning Staff met with Rick Jacobson, Director of Parks and Recreation. Most all of
Golden Valley's parks and outdoor recreation faci(ities such as baH fields and parks have off-
street parking lots, with only a few of the smallest neighborhood parks that have only on-street
parking. After discussing the facilities individually, it has been determined that the number of
available off-street parking spaces at ball fields and other outdoor recreational facilities
throughout the City is adequate. While complaints have come up about park patrons parking
on City streets during events such as little league baseball, or soccer tournaments, these are
events which occur at minimal occasions each year. Thus, City Code should not be required to
provide for these large events, but rather for the Code shall provide for everyday use of these
facilities.
Conclusion
Based upon the fieldwork completed by the Commissioners and Staff, only one
recommendation for a change has been made, which is in relation to the "Bank-Financial
Service" land use type. Through a comparison study with other metro area suburbs, as well as
an observational study of the parking conditions within Golden Vailey, recommended changes
have been made to the City Code, Section 11.70 "Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations"
which is attached to this memorandum.
Recommendations
Staff has developed recommendations to reduce the minimum number of required spaces for
five building use types. These changes are incorporated in the attached copy of Section 11.70:
"Off-street Parking and Loading Regulations" of the Golden Valley City Code. The changes to
the uses of"Multiple Family Residential", "Community Center", "Trade and Training School",
and "Clubs/Lodges" have been adjusted according to the initial comparison research, while the
change to the "Bank-Financial Service" description has been adjusted according to the
observations made by members of the Planning Commission and City Planning Staff.

the extent required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.091, subdivision 4, the City shall
maintain a separate account within the Construction Fund to record expenditures for each
improvement. The City Manager shall maintain the Construction Fund until all costs and

on hand in other funds af the City, which other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when
sufficient money becomes available in the Bond Fund. The Bond Fund shall be maintained until
the City has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all of the principal of and interest on the

Account is insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, the City Manager shall

time held in the Debt Service Account and Surplus Account shall be credited or charged to said
accounts.

and principal then due on all Bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund
of the City which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from the Surplus
Account in the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the City Council cavenants

limitation.

interest on the Bonds to become due and payable through the next following February l, plus a
reasonable carryover equal to 1/12`� of the debt service due in the following bond year, the
excess shall (unless an opinion is received from band counsel stating that another use shall not

invested at a yield which does not exceed the yield on the Bonds calculated in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code.

principal of the special assessments shall be made payable in annual installments, with interest as
established by this City Council in accordance with law on installments thereof from time to time

proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or by this City Council or by any of the officers or
employees of the City, either in the making of such special assessment or in the performance of
any condition precedent thereto, the City hereby covenants and agrees that it will forthwith do all
such further things and take all such further proceedings as shall be required by law to make such

as set forth in Section 5, will produce amounts not less than 5% in excess of the amounts needed

this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited for such purpose,

option on such dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon

earlier designated redemption date, provided, however, that if such deposit is made more than
ninety days before the maturity date or speeified redemptian date of the Bonds to be discharged,

before their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date.
SECTION 8. TAX COVENANTS• ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.
8.01. General Tax Covenant. The City agrees with the registered owners from time to
time of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or
agents, any action that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and applicable
Treasury Regulatians (the Regulatians), and agrees to take any and all actions within its powers
to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the
recipient under the Code and the Regulations. All proceeds of the Bonds depasited in the
Construction Fund will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the Project. The
Project is and will be owned and maintained by the City and available for use by members of the
general public on a substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any lease,
management contract, use agreement, capacity agreement or other agreement with any non-
governmental person relating to the use of the Project, or any portion thereof, or security for the
payment af the Bonds which might cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or
"private loan bonds"pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
8.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager being the officers of the
City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant ta this Resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code, and applicable Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would
cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
8.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate
requirements of Section 148(� of the Cade. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, m�ke such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amaunts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(� and applicable Regulations to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the
Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending
exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no "gross proceeds" of the Bonds
(other than amounts constituting a"bana fide debt service fund") arise during or after the
expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
8.04. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of th� Bonds will not be used
by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Project which the City paid
or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the date of adoption of its reimbursement resolution
for the Project, January 18, 2011, provided that this certification shall not apply (i) with respect
to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with respect to the Project meeting the requirements
of Section 1.150-2(�(1) ofthe Regulations, or(ii) with respect to "preliminary expenditures" for
the Project as defined in Section 1.150-2(�(2) of the Regulations, including engineering or
architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the aggregate do not exceed
20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds.
8.05. gualified TaX-Exempt Obli at�. The Council hereby designat�s the Bonds as
"qualified tax exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to the
disallowance of interest expense for finaneial institutions, and hereby finds that the reasonably
anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations which are not private activity bonds (not treating
