Bey Memorandum Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Dan Olson, City Planner Subject: 5411 Circle Down (Map 9) (01-12-59) Carlson Brown Investments, Applicant Date: December 5,2001 Current Variance Request Carlson Brown Investments, with property located at 5411 Circle Down, is requesting variances from the Business and Professional Offices zoning code (Section 11.45). Currently, the property is zoned Institutional (1-3), but the applicant is applying to rezone the property to the. Business and Professional Offices zoning district and amend the Comprehensive Plan Map from Semi Public Facilities to Offices. This rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on December 17, 2001 and by the City Council on January 15, 2002. The variances requested will be contingent on the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment being approved by the City Council. In addition, the Metropolitan Council will need to approve the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment. The applicant has approached the City to convert the building from a nursing home use to an office for attorneys. This involves demolition of some portions of the existing building, as well as providing new paved parking areas. Attached for your review is a site plan for the project. The existing building meets all building setback requirements under the Business and Professional Offices zoning district. However, the parking lot requires variances frqm parking lot requirements. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposal. Therefore, staff did not require the applicant to obtain neighbor's signatures on the variance application. Below are the current requested variances: . The first requested variance is from Section 11.45, Subd. 5 Front Yard Setbacks. City Code states that parking lots shall be setback at least 35 feet from any front yard property line. The requested variances are for 21 feet off of the required 35 feet to a distance of14 feet for the existing parking lot at its closest point to the front yard property line along Circle Down; and for 18 feet off of the required 35 feet to a distance of 17 feet for the existing parking lot at it closest point to the property line along Turners Crossroad. . The second requested variance is from Section 11.45, Subd. 5 Side and Rear Yard Setbacks. City Code states that parking areas shall be setback at least 10 feet from any property zoned Commercial. The requested variance is for 6 feet off the required 10 feet to a distance of 4 feet at it closest point to the south side yard property line for the . proposed parking lot. . The third requested variance is from Section 11.45, Subd. 3 Loading and Parking Requirements. City Code states that in the Business and Professional Offices zoning district, one parking space is required for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. Based on this requirement, staff estimates that the required number of parking spaces is 61. The variance requested is to reduce the number of required parking spaces to 57. . The fourth requested variance is from Section 11.46, Subd. 7 (F) Loading and Parking Requirements. The requested variance is to reduce the size of the parking spaces from the required 9 feet in width and 20 feet in depth to 9 feet in width and 18 feet in depth. The conditions for approval of these current variances are as follows: 1. The variance approval is contingent upon the City Council's approval of the rezoning of the property to Business and Professional Offices and the amendment of the Comprehensive Plan Map from Semi-Public Facilities to Offices. 2. The variance approval is contingent upon the Metropolitan Council's approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Semi-Public Facilities to Offices. 3. The recommendations of City Engineer, Jeff Oliver, as found in his memo dated . November 21, 2001 become a part of this approval. 4. The site plan revised November 2, 2001 shall become a part of this approval. Previous Variance Requests The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in August of 1957 for the construction of the existing building, which first functioned as a nursing home. It has functioned in that capacity until recently. No other pertinent information was found in the file. Previously, this property received variances. The minutes from those meetings are attached for your review. Below are the details of those variance requests: . In January, 1962, the Planning Commission recommended denial to the City Council for several variances to build a building addition. However, the City Council approved the variances at their February 6, 1962 meeting. . In June, 1967, the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), approved variances for another building addition. This variance approval was clarified at the July 13, 1967 BZA meeting. . In October, 1978, the BZA approved a variance to allow a kitchen expansion along the south lot line. . In June, 1993, the BZA approved a variance to allow another kitchen expansion along the south lot line. . 2 . Subject Property: 5411 Circle Down Carlson Brown Investments, Applicant . ..

G Preliminary Design Plan Review for Planned Unit Development at 5411 Circle Down Subject: Public Works staff has reviewed the plans submitted for a proposed Planned Unit Development at 5411 Circle Down Oust east of Turner's Crossroad). The existing nursing home on site is to be remodeled and used as an office building. The plans also include some parking lot expansion in areas where the existing building is to be removed. Site Plan: The proposed change in use of the building does not include any revisions to the site access. Driveways will be provided onto Circle Down and Turner's Crossroad. . Golden Valley City Code requires that all parking lots have concrete curb and gutter. The new parking proposed with this PUD is shown with curbs; however, it appears that there are portions of the existing lot where there is no curb and gutter. Therefore, concrete curb and gutter must be installed on the entire parking lot as part of this PUD. Utilities: The existing building on site is currently served by municipal sanitary sewer and watermain. The existing service will be adequate to accommodate the domestic use anticipated for the PUD. Additional watermain work may be required if the Building Official determines that additional flow capacity is needed for fire protection. A Right-of-Way Excavation Permit is required for the proposed excavation into Turners Crossroads. Gradina. Drainaae and Erosion Control: This PUD is within the Sweeney Lake subdistrict of the Bassett Creek Watershed. The proposed site improvements must comply with the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission's (BCWMC) Water Quality Policy. Based upon the work proposed, water quality ponding is not required for this site, but the implementatlon of Best Management Practices is required. Therefore, the plans must be reviewed by the BCWMC. No work is to begin on site until the Commission has approved the plans. This site is subject to the City of Golden Valley Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Ordinance. No . work is to start on site until a permit has been issued. Tree Preservation: . Based upon the work proposed, this PUD is not subject to the City of Golden Valley Tree Preservation Ordinance. Summary and Recommendations: This proposed Planned Unit Development consists of changing uses from an existing nursing home to professional office space. The proposal includes demolition of a portion of the existing building and expansion of the parking lot. Based upon our review, Public Works staff recommends approval of the proposed PUD subject to the following comments: 1. The installation of concrete curb and gutter on the proposed parking lot expansion and on all existing parking lot with no existing curb and gutter. 2. The review and comments of the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission. 3. The developer obtains the appropriate Grading, Right-of-Way and Utility permits from the City of Golden Valley. 4. Subject to the comments of other City Staff. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter.

FROM: Otto Schmid, Secretary - Board of Zoning Appeals SUBJECT: Weldwood Nursing Home At the June 13, 1967.meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals a petition for waivers for the Weldwood Nursing Home was reviewed. It was the opinion of the members of the Board, that the waivers be granted for the following reasons: 1. The Board noted that the proponent was constructing within the area that. was previously waived by the Co Ulcil in 1962. 2. The Board noted that the proposed construction was not resulting in an increase in the number of beds or employees at the home. At this time it is noted that the petition was not complete in that not all the waivers needed were requested. Additional waivers for a 31. 680/0 Lot coverage as opposed to the existing 28. 7% lot coverage and also for the required landscaping are needed. Portions of the existing parking lot, noteably an area of approximately 65 x 20 feet on the northwest corner of the lot and an area of approximately 1801 x 20' on the southerly extremities of the lot are presently blacktop and should be according to . our new ordinance, landscaped. In a conversation with Mr Glen Christiansen, Chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, concerning this request, it was his opinion that the Board's intent was to grant the waivers for this request. The fact that the petition was not complete was an over site on the part of the petitioner and the secretary. Mr. Christiansen indicated that the minutes would be amended at the July 11, 1967 meeting and instructed the Secretary to amend the petition to include the waivers which were supposed to be part of this petition. r"') f\, ~, \'" 1...// I'" \\ j.":~~, '.Ii 'Il. }"# ..." ~....

The petition is to expand the kitchen 16' west and along the south lot line in alignment \'/ith the original structure \'!hich had been waived for setback and green area when originally built. Mr. O'Malley, Corporate Director of Maintenance, Gold ~1edal1ion Corporation, and Mrs. Scott, Administrator of the Weldwood Nursing Home, were present. Mr. O'Malley explained the proposed construction. Mrs. Scott explained that when the original building had been built, the kitchen area ,^'<is small but adequate. Several years later a substantial addition for ~~re patients was added but no further kitchen facilities. A dining room addition in 1967 was added to the east \-/ith Board of Zoning Appeals approval. This addition required a similar waiver along the south lot line. Mrs. Scott explained that the State Board of Health and also the Golden Valley . Sanitarian have repeatedly recommended uodating the kitchen facilities and serving lines. I~rs. Scott also explained that' while this addition is constructed over the present outside stair\'lell from the boiler room below, a neVI exit \'/ill be maintained to the outside from the boiler room in accordance with State and local Fire Marshall requirements. Glen Christiansen moved to approve the waiver as requested, subject to the exit being provided as required by the Fire Marshall. William Forster seconded the motion.

The petition is for waiver of Section: 11.46 Subd. 8 rear setback~ for 43 feet off the required rear setback to a distance of 7 feet from the south lot line to the proposed kitchen addition and walk-in cooler. (Present building exists at this setback dimension.) The petition was in order; however, the signatures of the adjacent property owners, which were going to be submitted as a supplement, had not been received. Mr. David Messick, Administrator, was present. No adjacent property owners were in atten- dance. Mr. Messick said .Good Samaritan had recently purchased the home. They had been looking at expansion of some other areas but site constraints prohibited that. The present small kitchen addition is on the south side adjacent to the Rupert's parking lot. Lloyd Becker noted the building, when built, was granted a variance by the City Council to the present setback from the south lot line. The proposed addition aligns with the existing setback. Mr. Messick said they had contacted the adjacent neighbors and they do have their consent. It appears a mix-up of who was going to submit the signatures. Lloyd Becker said notice had been sent by the City to all adjacent properties. Mahlon Swedberg moved to approve the variance as requested noting the previous waiver for the established setback on the south lot line and the minor addition is to upgrade to meet sanitation health requirements.

Date: 12/0 l/O 1 To: Board Of Zoning From: Terry Mac Donald Subject: Variance Request The variance I'm requesting is to leave the new shed on the same site as the previous shed that was 8' 4" from the garage instead of 10'. The shed is recessed by 9' 4" from the front of the house instead of fully to the rear of the house. My situation for requesting a variance starts with the collapse of the roof of the previous shed due to last winters snow, as well as 20+ years of age. The old shed was on a cement slab and was 10' 4" wide x 13' 4" long x 6' 6" high. This shed was on the site for over 20 years. I have never built anything of this nature before so I tried to replace the shed myself. Since it was a rebuild on the same basic concrete slab I did not even consider needing a permit or a variance. I always thought that a permit was something of a specialized nature and I never heard of a variance process. The old shed was 10' 4" wide x 13' 4" long x 6' 6" high. The new shed is 12' wide x 16' long x 8' high making the new shed l' 8" wider x 2' 8" longer xl' 6" higher. I have made myself knowledgeable and have an understanding and respect for the process. Since receiving the letter from Mr. Olson I have stopped building until everything is in order that allows me to finish. At this point it would be very costly and very hard for me to move the shed and also re..oo another concrete slab and dispose of the old concrete and fill in the area. I have always maintained my home and property to the best of my ability and the shed will be no exception. Knowing sheds can sometimes be an eye sore, I'm siding the shed with the same siding as the house including white aluminum trim. Also the door is the same color as the garage door. The shed will not clash at all but will blend in perfectly with the house. The shed is shielded by a large evergreen and a birch tree from the neighbors across the street in the front of the shed. We have a full row of lilac bushes and an apple tree that fully shields the neighbors behind us. The neighbor on the north side has a large field and then the side of Valley Presperterian Church and the shed is partially shielded by an evergreen and a pear tree. I have obtained signatures and comments from every neighbor including the Pastor and the Church's Pastoral Board. The sheet submitted shows the 100010 support and that no neighbor has any problems with the shed on the old existing site. As a follow up, I can supply final photographs to show how it blends in and is not distracting to the property or any of our neighbors. Please consider my variance and allow the shed to remain on the old site. Sincerely, h~~ Terry MacDonald 3065 Glenden Terrace . . . . . . . . ;i't . . . . . . .
