He explained that in the late 1980's Avis Rental Cars used this property for outdoor sales and
lease of cars in a manner very similar to the applicant's proposal. He reminded the
Commissioners that in April of 2002, Morrie's Mazda submitted an application for a Conditional
Use Permitto utilize this building for used car sales and that it was unanimously recommended
for approval at that time but that Morrie's withdrew the application before it went on to the City
Council for approval. He referred to the plans submitted by Elite Auto Sales and noted that they
arethe same plans Morrie's submitted when they applied for their Conditional Use Permit.

Robert Sarvey, Applicant, 9010 Olson Memorial Highway, stated that the cars they are
proposing to sell would be dropped off at other dealerships and brought to this site one at a
time, not by auto transport trucks. He stated that it is his goal to run a top notch business and
to blend in with the community. He said that he would be on the site at all times if there were
. questions and that he has been in the auto business for 18 years.

Grimes referred to the letter he received from Gary Gandrud at Faegre & Benson
asking ifhis client, Dennis Doyle, who owns Welsh Companies and works with the
corporation Hope for Life could sell some things from his warehouse which is located in
the Industrial zoning district. He stated that he did tell Mr. Gandrud that the City Code
only allows temporary sales, which is 15 days per year, in the Industrial zoning district.
Shaffer said that he doesn't like the idea of retail in the Industrial zoning district other
than the temporary 15 days per year already allowed. The other Comm' rs
agreed. Grimes stated that he would tell Mr. Gandrud that the Planni
doesn't think that it is a very good idea.

Subject:
Housing Plan Review
At the request of the Commission, I am enclosing a full size copy of the Zoning Map. The idea
was to give each of you the opportunity to look at the entire community and determine if there are
areas that you think may be appropriate for higher density housing. This information would then
be brought to the entire commission for brainstorming.
The Planning Commission also suggested that some additional traffic information about traffic
generation from higher density housing would be helpful. There is money in the Planning
Commission budget to help get this information. I am now in the process of working with the
Public Works Director to get this information. This traffic information would be somewhat generic
that could be used when evaluating potential housing sites in the City. The Commission felt that
traffic generation information is very important since traffic generation from higher density housing
s.eems to be the main concern of neighbors of proposed higher density housing developments.

Second Review of Single-Family Residential Zoning District (R-1)
At the last Planning Commission meeting in June, staff presented a draft of the R-1 zoning
district. The Planning Commission made several comments about the draft and suggested some
clarifications and changes. The staff has again reviewed the draft taking in mind the
Commission's thoughts. I have asked Lisa to send you a new draft with comments in the margin
where there are still issues to be resolved or changes that were made.
. I want to highlight a couple of the more substantial items that need to be discussed:
· Subdivision 9-Lot Coverage. The staff is suggesting that there be two or three lot
coverage requirements due to the varying siz.e of lots in Golden Valley. Also, the staff is
suggesting that the lot coverage requirement only include building areas, not all impervious
surfaces. Staff believes it would be difficult to calculate all impervious surfaces and that the
amount of impervious surface on a lot is addressed by building setback requirements.
Also, the construction of driveways, sidewalks, and patios do not require building permits.
It would be very difficult to monitor these types of activities.
· Subdivision 10 A-Setback Requirements. The staff is suggesting that no vehicles be
parked in the front yard unless they are on a driveway. It also defines which side of the lot
is the front in the case of corner lots.
· Subdivision 14-Driveway Requirements. Staff recommends that all new driveways be
paved after this ordinance is enacted. Also recommended is thatthe width of driveways be
limited to the width the garage in order to eliminate very, very wide driveways.
· Subdivision 16-Home Occupations. Up for9iscussion is the issue regarding outside
employment. Staff suggests either none or one in addition to those who live at the house.
Staff knows that Minneapolis and Roseville permit one outside employee.
.
Staff knows that there are some philosophical issues about this draft that must also be discussed
such as the overall reduction in setbacks and the "grandfathering" of older houses found in
Subdivision 12-Pre-1982 Buildings. All these issues are open to more discussion.
