PLANNING COMMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC INPUT
The Planning Commission is an advisory body, created to advise the City Council on land use. The
Commission will recommend Council approval or denial of a land use proposal based upon the Commission's
determination of whether the proposed use is permitted under the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan,
and whether the proposed use will, or will not, adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood.
The Commission holds informal public hearings on land use proposals to enable you to learn, first-hand, what
such proposals are, and to permit you to ask questions and offer comments. Your questions and comments
become part of the record and will be used by the Council, along with the Commission's recommendation, in _
reaching its decision. .
With the completion of the informal public hearing(s) there will be a short recess before the commission
continues with the remainder of the agenda.
To aid in your understanding and to facilitate your comments and questions, the Commission will utilize the
following procedure:
1. The Commission Chair will introduce the proposal and the recommendation from staff.
Staff will give a brief summary of the applicant's request. Commission members may ask questions of
staff.
2. The applicant will describe the proposal and answer any questions from the Commission.
3. The Chair will open the public hearing, asking first for those who wish to speak to so indicate by
raising their hands. The Chair may set a time limit for individual questions/comments if a large
number of persons have indicated a desire to speak. Spokespersons for groups will have a longer
period of time for questions/comments.
4. Please give your full name and address clearly when recognized by the Chair. Remember. your
questions/comments are for the record.
5. Direct your questions/comments to the Chair. the Chair will determine who will answer your
questions.
6. No one will be given the opportunity to speak a second time until everyone has had the opportunity
to speak initially. Please limit your second presentation to new information, not rebuttal.
7. At the close of the public hearing, the Commission will discuss the proposal and take appropriate
action.

Minutes of the Golden Valley
Planning Commission
August 12, 1996
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall, Council
Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. The meeting was called to
order by Secretary Jean Lewis called the meeting to order at 7:05pm. Chair Prazak arrived at
7:06pm.
Those present were Chair Prazak and Commissioners Groger, Johnson, Kapsner, Lewis,
McAleese; absent was Pentel. Also present were City Planner, Beth Knoblauch and Planning
Secretary, Mary Dold.
I. Approval of Minutes - June 10,1996
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by Groger and motion carried unanimously to approve the June
10, 1996 minutes as submitted.
II. Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit
Applicant:
McDonald's Corporation
Address:
9315 Medicine Lake Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota
Request:
To allow for the operation of a Class II Restaurant in the Commercial
Zoning District
Beth Knoblauch gave a summary of Director Mark Grimes report (absent from meeting)
commenting on the applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) so McDonald's can
build and operate a new Class II Restaurant in the Commercial Zoning District. The existing
restaurant is considered a legally nonconforming use because it has been in operation longer
than the CUP requirements have been in the City Code. Ms. Knoblauch talked about the size
of the proposed restaurant and McDonald's request to have their existing facility remain open
while the new facility is under construction.
City Planner Knoblauch told the Commission that the applicant will need to appear before the
Board of Zoning Appeals concerning several variances due to the location and size of the
restaurant. This meeting is scheduled for August 27. McDonald's request, along with the
motion from the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals will go to the City Council
at its meeting of September 3, 1996.
Ms. Knoblauch talked about the visit staff made to a similar McDonald's in Champlin.
Unfortunately this McDonald's did not have the same busy surroundings as the restaurant on
Medicine Lake Road. This made it difficult to judge parking capacity and traffic patterns. The
City Planner told the Commission that SRF Engineers performed a parking analysis and
determined that peak time is Friday lunch, and 88 parking spaces were needed; the applicant is
proposing 112 which is 25 less than the code requires. Based on the SRF analysis, staff

e
believes that the 112 parking spaces are adequate at this time. A request for a variance from
Section 11.30, Subd. 6(E) will need to be addressed at a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.
Ms. Knoblauch reviewed the access points into McDonald's noting that the Medicine Lake Road
access would be moved more to the west, placing it farther from Hillsboro Avenue. The
applicant is proposing a one-way access into the site on Hillsboro (closest to Medicine Lake
Road) which they believe will help eliminate any traffic problems on the site. Because
McDonald's is proposing this access, they are proposing to move the bus stop, at their
expense, a little farther to the south, which will help alleviate problems at this comer. Staff
would like to see this bus stop moved. Staff has concerns about the southern access into the
site on Hillsboro due to site line distances. The Engineering Department believes that this
southern access is workable. City Planner Knoblauch noted that some or all the plantings
around this access may have to be removed and replaced; staff is suggesting the south side of
the road which would provide buffering for the townhomes but would not block lines of sight for
drivers using the southerly access.
City Planner Knoblauch reviewed the variances needed to address the setback violation on
Hillsboro. Code requires 35 feet of landscape on the front setback; McDonald's is proposing 17
feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 18 feet. McDonald's believe that the drive-through
would work best on the east side requiring the setback variance. Staff believe that the entire
building could be moved to the west side. A third variance, discussed by Ms. Knoblauch, but
not addressed in the staff memo, is that part of the code that addresses a principal structure on
one lot (Section 11.12). The City only allows one building on one lot. McDonald's is proposing
to keep their existing facility open while the new building is under construction. This would be a
violation of City Code and should be addressed by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
e
Ms. Knoblauch reviewed the 10 findings and recommendations as written in the staff memo.
Nothing of great distinction was noted in the findings. Staff recommendation requests
McDonald's to submit a revised site plan showing a minimized or the elimination of a need for a
setback variance.
Commissioner Kapsner asked staff to comment on why there is a concern for one principal
structure on one lot. City Planner Knoblauch commented that this concern comes from a
number of sources, such as applicants squeezing another building on the site, or there may be
a situation where there are two buildings on one lot and then the owner wants to sell one
building off and wants each building to have its own lot.
Chair Prazak asked if staff had received any previous requests of having a structure remain on
the site while a new buiiding was being built. City Planner Knoblauch commented that she was
aware of this situation only in PUD's. Code specifically states there will be only one principle
structure on a lot.

Commissioner Lewis asked if the City Attorney had offered any options for McDonald's request
of having the existing store remain open during the construction period. Ms. Knoblauch
commented that they either tear down the building or get a variance, keeping in mind that state
law says economic factors are not taken into consideration.
Commissioner Groger stated that the Planning Commission is being put into a difficult situation
concerning one building on a lot. If the applicant cannot get a building permit to begin, it is a
moot point that is before the Planning Commission in recommending any approval. City
Planner Knoblauch commented that Director Grimes expected to see a revised site plan
showing only one building. However, the Planning Commission could still proceed with the
current site plan by simply noting in its recommendation that it defers to the ruling of the BZA
with regard to the "two buildings" issue.
e
Jerry Roper, representing McDonald's, came forward requesting approval for a Conditional Use
Permit and the submitted site plan. He said that he believes it will not be a problem for the City
to grant the Conditional Use Permit because McDonald's has been in operation for such a long
time on this site and the business should be grandfathered in. Mr. Roper commented that he
believed staff had told him, when he was preparing his site plan, that meeting parking
requirements was most important. Director Grimes had also asked McDonald's to reimburse
the City for a parking study to determine the number of needed spaces, which McDonald's did.
According to Mr. Roper, to achieve the most parking available on the site a setback variance
would be needed along Hillsboro. He believes staff is now telling him that the setbacks are
more important. Mr. Roper said that he had suggested a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
because of the flexibility with what the ordinance requires. Staff instead requested that the
applicant submit a parking study.
Mr. Roper also talked about the economic reasons for keeping the existing site open while the
new facility would be under construction, citing that by remaining open, McDonald's will retain
loyal customers and would decrease the loss of revenue due to the construction. Mr. Roper
commented on the number of stores in the Minneapolis region and the years of experience in
design layout of the McDonald's facilities. The designer was given as much free reign as
possible. This person was to look at the site with minimal setbacks and design a site plan best
for the site (plan submitted). Mr. Roper commented that he was unaware that City Code states
there can only be one principal building on a lot. Mr. Roper commented that the existing facility
would only stay open until the new building is completed and ready for business, which he
determined to be approximately two months. He stated there were ways of requiring
McDonald's to conform to tearing down the building, such as submitted a "letter of credit" which
says that if McDonald's does not tear the building down, the City has the authority to have it
demolished and use the funds from the letter of credit.
e
Mr. Roper commented that he was confused on which item was more important, setbacks or
parking. McDonald's is trying to meet both requirements but is unable to come up with a
conforming site plan. Mr. Roper also commented that either he gave Mr. Grimes the wrong
square footage or Mr. Grimes took the wrong footage off the plan; the report indicated 4,100
sq.ft. but it is actually 4,800 sq. ft. which requires approximately 135 parking spaces.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

.
Mr. Roper talked about setbacks on the surrounding properties and believes that the gas station
to the west and the townhomes to the southeast do not meet setback requirements.
McDonald's will meet the setback on Medicine lake Road and is proposing only to have the
drive-through lane in the setback area along Hillsboro Avenue. He talked about if this were an
interior lot, the setback would only be 20 feet and also asked the commission to consider the
shape of the lot, which could be considered a hardship. Mr. Roper said that because the
entrance/exit is be shifted more to the south, there will be a need for grading due to a 8 to 9 foot
difference in elevation across the lot. McDonald's will need to put the building as far to the east,
as possible, to make the grading work out.
Chair Prazak asked Mr. Roper if parking consultant SRF had the correct square footage of the
building when they prepared their report. Mr. Roper commented that they did; SRF was
comparing this site to the McDonald's in Champlin which are approximately the same size of
4,800 sq.ft.
Commissioner lewis said that she feels that McDonald's has far exceeded optimum use of the
site with a 20 percent increase with the proposed building. Mr. Roper commented that the
additional square footage comes from the replacement of the existing basement area which will A
now be at ground level. Mr. Roper commented that the square footage is not changing, all _
square footage will now be on one level.
Chair Prazak asked the applicant to review the colored site plan and show the commission and
audience where there would be less green space. Mr. Roper pointed to an area along the
eastern side of the lot (Hillsboro Avenue). He commented that the green space, at this time, is
35 feet and will be reduced to 18 feet. The edge of the proposed building will be at 36 feet from
Hillsboro Avenue.
Commissioner Johnson asked what the size comparison of the McDonald's on Winnetka
Avenue to that of the Medicine lake Road facility is. Mr. Roper said the Medicine lake Road
facility would be a little bit bigger with about 65 more seats because of the playland area. The
total amount of seating for the Medicine lake Road facility will have around 135 seats. The
building size will be about 800 sq.ft. larger than the McDonald's on Winnetka. Commissioner
Johnson asked if the market area could support such a large restaurant. She compared the
surrounding area of the McDonald's on Winnetka, with the businesses and busy road to bring in
patrons to the surroundings on Medicine lake Road. She asked if the existing building could
just be remodeled or expanded. Mr. Roper said that it would be possible to build a playland
onto the existing faCility but that it was in dire need of remodeling, it is not efficient regarding
layout. He commented that studies have been done which indicate that the proposed
McDonald's can be supported by the families in the area.

Commissioner Kapsner commented that he believes that parking would be adequate on the
site. He asked staff if McDonald's lost some land when the curve was put in on Hillsboro
Avenue. City Planner Knoblauch commented that McDonald's was built after Hillsboro Avenue
was put in.
Commissioner Johnson asked the applicant if he could move'the building over to gain some
setback without losing parking. Mr. Roper said that he had looked at that and could possibly
gain another 4 feet by moving the building to the west.
Commissioner Lewis asked where the additional square footage to the new building was being
added. Chair Prazak commented that the building is being increased at both ends. Mr. Roper
commented that the proposed building is approximately the same size as the existing building if
the basement area is included; the additional square footage in the proposed building comes
from the playland area.
Commissioner Kapsner asked City Planner Knoblauch if a variance could be granted if there is
a hardship situation. City Planner Knoblauch stated that the Board of Zoning Appeals
addresses hardships and requests from the applicant for variances. The Planning Commission
can make a recommendation regarding the information presented on setbacks.
e Mr. Roper asked staff and the commission what the process was to rezone a piece of property
to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). City Planner Knoblauch commented that the proposed
McDonald's does not quality. The Winnetka Avenue McDonald's is a PUD only because it is in
an official Housing and Redevelopment District, which is not the case with the current proposal.
Chair Prazak opened the informal public hearing.
Dennis Rock, 2404 Hillsboro Avenue North, commented that the Galant Townhome Association
is concerned with the proposed southern entrance because of the traffic coming off Medicine
Lake Road and the high speed their cars are at when they take the curve and continue down
Mendelssohn. He commented on the number of cars that come out of the Galant, Pheasant
Glen and Medley Park townhome area and that the school bus and sometimes city bus stops
on the curve. The Association's preference would be to see McDonald's leave the southerly
driveway where it is currently situated.
Chair Prazak asked if the driveway could be moved more toward Medicine Lake Road and
vehicles use the existing easterly driveway which could be accomplished by putting the new
store on the west side of the lot.
e
Daniel Swain, 2420 Mendelssohn Lane, is concerned about the driveway at the southerly end
with the curve in the road and would like to see the driveway in another location. He believes
traffic entering the drive-through lane, at the southerly entrance, will back up onto Hillsboro
Avenue. He also talked about the number of trucks that park toward the back of the lot now
during the lunch.

e
Betty Dahlgren, 2410 Hillsboro Avenue North, talked about the number of children in the area
and about a school bus stop that is located very near the proposed southerly entrance, which
she believes would be dangerous. Knoblauch noted the letter that had been received from
other adjacent residents, and was included in the agenda packets.
Chair Prazak closed informal public hearing.
Commissioner Kapsner asked Mr. Roper about how much of a free-hand the designer had to
place this store on the site; and is there another feasible way to put this building on the lot by
turning the building to the south. Mr. Roper commented that this is McDonald's optimal design.
Chair Prazak asked Mr. Roper if McDonald's reason to shift the building to the east was so the
existing facility coutd remain open. Mr. Roper commented that keeping the existing facility open
was not the only reason. Mr. Roper talked about the access point off Medicine Lake Road and
if the proposed facility was placed more westerly on the lot, the Medicine Lake Road access
would have to be eliminated.
Commissioner Johnson asked about redesigning the building, commenting that if the southern
entrance/exit was closed, the building placed more to the southwest and by adding the playland
area on to the main building in a "r shape, more landscaped space could be accommodated
on Hillsboro. Mr. Roper said that McDonald's had looked at that option but had to keep in mind
setback space and optimal parking.
e
Commissioner McAleese questioned an earlier comment by Mr. Roper concerning instructions
that his architect should assume "minimal setback requirements". He continued by asking if
minimal setbacks meant complying with the City's code or did it mean building the store that
McDonald's wanted and worry about the setbacks later. Mr. Roper commented that the design
presented was the most optimal and that if this was an interior lot the setback would be met;
green space is usually not 35 feet and this is not the norm. He commented on other cities'
zoning requirements being less stringent and had told the architect to try to live with Golden
Valley's requirements. The design before the Commission is what the architect came up with.
Commissioner McAleese voiced concerns about taking the applicant's word that the Medicine
Lake Road access could not exist if the proposed building were turned 180 degrees. Mr. Roper
said that McDonald's had to look at the elevations of the lot. Commissioner McAleese
commented that he had no drawings before him that showed that the building in other locations
would not work. He questioned whether this couldn't work if the main entrance was off
Hillsboro. Mr. Roper commented that they looked at an option of using the primary road which
was Medicine Lake. Commissioner McAleese said that he was not convinced that all options
had been looked at.
Chair Prazak talked about moving the proposed building to the west and south which should
allow for more stacking; the parking would be on the east. The existing facility would need to
be tom down. Mr. Roper said that there would still be a problem with setbacks.

Commissioner McAleese asked the applicant whether, if a larger parking variance was granted,
the building could be moved around by changing the location of the southern driveway. Mr.
Roper suggested that a right out only from the south exit could help alleviate pressure on the
site. This entrance/exit, on the south, could also be made an exit only.
Chair Prazak said that the Commission is probably comfortable with the 112 parking spaces
due to the report on the parking study, but still has concern about the green space on Hillsboro.
Mr. Roper showed an original design with the southern exit located more to the north on
Hillsboro. City Planner Knoblauch commented that the City's Engineering Department
requested the southern exit be moved to a more southerly location.
Commissioner McAleese concurs with the town home residents that Hillsboro Avenue at the
curve is a bad spot and potential trouble for traffic. He believed the City Engineer was
considering only general engineering factors and not he specific land uses and bus or
pedestrian traffic around the site. He commented that he would feel more comfortable if the
driveway wasn't there at all, but understands McDonald's point of view because it works and
allows the existing facility to remain open. Commissioner McAleese said he would like to see a
plan with the building on the west side proving that it doesn't work regarding traffic flow.
Commissioner Kapsner asked about turning the proposed restaurant 180 degrees and leaving
the playland on north end. Mr. Roper said that this scenario would be impossible because of
the reverse drive-through.
Chair Prazak cautioned the applicant to be prepared to get same questions at the City Council
meeting.
MOVED by Kapsner recommending approval of the site plan as submitted with the proposed
two variances and adding the third variance relating to two buildings on one lot.
City Planner Knoblauch asked Commissioner Kapsner if he would suggest any conditions to be
added. Director Grimes had included no staff recommendations in his memo, but he and Ms.
Knoblauch had discussed a few suggestions, which she outlined for the commission.
Member Groger asked the applicant whose property the bus stop was on. Staff noted that the
question raised a good point. If it is on right-of-way land, then there is a need to add a
condition to formalize who would pay for the off-site improvement of moving the bus stop.
Commissioner Lewis said that she could not support this request because of the increased size
of the proposed facility on the site.
No second was received from Commissioner Kapsner's motion to recommend approval.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

e
MOVED by Groger, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to recommend to
the City Council to deny the request for the Conditional Use Permit to allow the use of a Class II
restaurant at 9315 Medicine Lake Road. Reasons for denial are as follows:
· Setback issue of less green space than required on Hillsboro Avenue
· Concerns about the site plan; could the proposed facility be placed elsewhere on the site.
· Concerns about the southerly access and the hazardous condition it may cause
Chair Prazak asked City Planner Knoblauch what the procedure the City Council would take
regarding the motion. City Planner Knoblauch stated that the City Council would still hear the
request. If the City Council approves the CUP, they will be able to craft conditions from the
issues that were discussed during the Planning Commission meeting plus the standard
conditions.
Commissioner Lewis felt that McDonald's is a good neighbor but has concerns about the
southerly driveway.
The Commissioners wanted to make it clear that they were not opposed to a McDonald's on
this site. Commissioner McAleese commented that he was not concerned with having two
buildings on this site but the City should look at the language of the ordinance. He suggested
that McDonald's provide a construction bond to satisfy the needs of the City and the Developer.
e
Commissioner Kapsner had questions on the issue of two buildings on one lot. He said it is
important to send a message to council that there are some concerns about this site but feels
they can be overcome.
Commissioner Johnson commented that if the footage of the proposed facility were reduced,
setbacks requirements could be met.
Commissioner Lewis suggested that it may be appropriate for McDonald's to have an alternate
site plan available for the City Council to review.
III. Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Review - Valley Square 3rd Addition
Applicant:
City of Golden Valley
Address:
That area bounded by Bassett Creek to the North, Winnetka Avenue to
the East, Golden Valley Road/Drive to the South and Wisconsin Avenue
to the West
Request:
Review and approve the Preliminary Plat for Valley Square 3rd Addition
which will permanently dedicate the Right-of-Way for the realigned
Golden Valley Road and to clear up miscellaneous other legal matters.

City Planner Beth Knoblauch reviewed her memo and the plat with the commission,
commenting that there were no specific proposals at this time and staff is not looking at this plat
as a development but at tidying up problems from the past. Knoblauch said that at the time of
the writing of the report, staff had not heard from the State regarding the plat. The County was
still working on its review, but in early comments to staff the reviewer had indicated he was
unaware of the parking areas along Winnetka Avenue.
City Planner Knoblauch told the commission that one issue that needed to be addressed was
the width of Maren Lane. The subdivision section of City Code requires that Maren Lane be 60
feet. At this time the road is 50 feet wide. Staff is requesting the Commission to recommend
approval of a variance allowing the road to remain at 50 feet or instruct staff that Maren Lane
should be widened to 60 feet to meet current code requirements. Ms. Knoblauch commented
that it would not make sense to widen the road at this time.
Chair Prazak asked if the commission could make a recommendation to close Maren Lane.
Ms. Knoblauch commented that it was not an option at this time. The long term plan would be
to have a development that takes in all of Area B, but long term plans are not in a position to be
implemented at the present time. She also commented that Maren Lane is the only access for
those businesses located at the lower level of the two shopping centers.
Commissioner Lewis asked if the HRA has money to purchase the Super Value site. City
Planner Knoblauch commented that she was unable to answer that question.
Commissioner Kapsner asked if the Super Valu site was the only property not owned by the
City. Ms. Knoblauch commented that the City owns all the property north of Maren Lane except
for the northwest comer, which is owned by the bank; south of Maren Lane the City owns the
old Bies/Maren Shopping Center.
Commissioner Lewis asked staff about the condition of the Super Valu building. Ms. Knoblauch
commented that the Inspections Department is concerned about its deterioration and
vandalism.
Commissioner McAleese questioned if all other property owners are a party to the plat. City
Planner Knoblauch commented that all other property owners within the plat lines would have to
sign off on the plat.
Chair Prazak commented that he was comfortable with the proposed plat and the plat will make
it easier for developers to review.
Commissioner McAleese said that the plat was a good step to take if the property owners
agreed with it. He commented that he was uncomfortable with requesting something that does
not meet code but because of the circumstances, it seems logical to plat it now and doesn't
make sense to widen or abandon Maren Lane at this time.

.
Commissioner Johnson asked staff if the recommendation is to recommend to the Council to
grant a variance to replat. Ms. Knoblauch commented that there were two points to consider.
The first part of the variance would be to leave Maren Lane at 50 feet which is 10 feet less than
code requirement. The second part of the request would be for the council to grant itself a
variance from the normal guidelines for granting a variance, unless a hardship can be
determined other than economic.
Chair Prazak opened the informal public hearing; seeing and hearing no one, Chair Prazak
closed the informal public hearing.
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by McAleese and motion carried unanimously to recommend to
the City Council to approve the Preliminary Plat for Valley Square 3rd Addition with the following
conditions.
· To recommend the City Council grant a variance which would allow Maren Lane to remain
at 50 feet;
· The City Engineer should make a determination as to all permanent easement locations
before the plat returns to the City Council for its final approval; and
· There should be no park or storm water management dedication in connection with the plat,
but the City Council should reserve the right to revisit this matter prior to final disposition of
any land within the plat that is currently owned by the City or HRA.
e
City Planner Knoblauch briefly talked about the permanent easement locations and park or
storm water management dedications. Commissioner McAleese asked, if the City Council
rebuilds the area the way it now stands, how would that affect the City's requirement for storm
water management. Ms. Knoblauch commented that we rely on the good faith of the City to
take care of these matters; this matter can be deferred from discussion at this time but needs to
be brought up before any redevelopment occurs. Commissioner McAleese asked whether
there would be other avenues to ensure adequate storm water management if the HRA
eventually sells the land to a developer who does not replat it again before building on it. Ms.
Knoblauch commented that there are laws requiring adequate storm water management for any
new development.
A short recess was taken.

MEMORANDUM
Date:
September 4, 1996
To:
Golden Valley Planning Commission
From:
Elizabeth A. Knoblauch, City Planner
Subject:
Informal Public Hearing - Minor Subdivision (Lot
Consolidation) for the Property at 6900 Harold Avenue South
and the Lots to the South and Southeast South of the Harold
Avenue Cul-de-Sac), Paul S. Olin, Applicant
e
This proposed subdivision abutting Harold and Glenwood Avenues (location map
attached) is a concurrent consolidation and re-division of three properties to
result in two residential lots (separate sketches of existing properties and
proposed lots are attached). It qualifies as a minor subdivision because all of the
land was previously platted, it results in less than five lots, and it will not
necessitate any additional public investment to extend access or utilities to the
lots. There is already a house on one of the existing lots, while the other is
vacant. The third property is land that was "left over" after the City acquired
right-of-way to complete the Harold Avenue cul-de-sac on the east side of the
two existing lots. The application does not currently include the land area which
wil! remain as right-of-way, but the City Engineer is looking into adding it before
the time of final plat approval.
The sketch submitted by the applicant is not drawn to any measurable scale and
fails to indicate exact dimensions of altered lot lines, total square footage of each
proposed lot, or location and dimensions of the existing house, all of which are
required components of application. Because the applicant spent a considerable
amount of pre-application time working with staff from Engineering and Planning
regarding the excess right-of-way, it is possible that there was some missed
communication about application requirements; therefore, staff have allowed the
application to go forward with the understanding that any claims as to lot size or
other requirements will be verified prior to final plat approval.
.
Approval of minor subdivision applications is based on a relatively straight-
forward consideration of factors itemized in Sec. 12.50, Subd. 3 of City Code.
Information on the seven factors that affect this particular application is as
follows:
· Compliance With Zoning District Requirements - It appears that the
two lots resulting from the minor subdivisi~n will be adequate in size
1
and dimension to meet current code requirements. Due to its unusual
configuration, the vacant southerly lot will not be able to accommodate
a house scaled to match its large square footage unless the layout
uses multiple floors; since the applicant is fully aware of, and in fact
has added to, the quirks in configuration, this should not be allowed to
become an excuse for future variance applications. An as-built survey
of the existing house on the other lot (attached) indicates that the north
side property line ranges from 14.33 to 14.86 feet distant from the
house. That went right to the edge of the required setback for the
original lot width of 95.38 feet. Unfortunately, the proposed re-division
would increase lot width to more than 100 feet, with a resulting setback
requirement of 15 feet. If approved, the new lot configuration would
make the house permanently nonconforming by as much as 8.04
inches. The only way to approve the minor subdivision application
with the increased lot width is for the City Council to grant a variance
from Sec. 12.50, Subd. 3.A. Discussion ofthe variance process for
subdivision applications, and of the staff recommendation with regard
to this particular application, is included in a separate addendum
(attached).
· Steep Slopes or Excessive Wetness in Buildable Area - The proposed
lots are both considered to be buildable. There is no really extreme
topography involved. There is a wet and low area, some of which was
eliminated by excavation of clayey soils and filling to a higher elevation
with more porous soils in order to build the existing house. The
current lot line cuts through the low area. The proposed lot line would
put all of the lowest land on the lot with the existing house.
· Availability of Sewer and Water Service - Utilities are available for both
proposed lots.
· Required Easements - City policy for easements is to follow property
lines, but this is not specifically a requirement as long as the City
Engineer approves an alternate location. In this particular case, much
of the previously dedicated easement area will no longer be along
property lines if the minor subdivision is approved. Either the City will
have to vacate affected existing easement areas, or they will not be in
the preferred location. At this time, no final decision has been made.
· Review by Other Agencies - Glenwood Avenue is a County road, so a
sketch of the proposed minor subdivision has been submitted to the
Hennepin County Department of Transportation for review as required
under state law. The City is not legally bound to follow requirements
specified by the County following its review, but may incur some
additional liability for any decisions that fail to take those requirements
into aC,count. Although County comments have not yet been received,
Staff expect from other cases that the County will require an additional
e
e
.
2
,
e
seven feet of right-of-way along Glenwood Avenue in order to bring the
road up to acceptable width for roads under its jurisdiction. The fact
that this property is on a limited-visibility curve is expected to make the
additional dedication even more important. The question has come up
among staff as to why the seven feet did not get dedicated when the
two existing lots were considered by the Council in 1987. From the
complete absence of any file documents with reference to the county
review requirement, it appears likely that the matter was somehow
overlooked at that time. The dedication would not make the existing
house any more nonconforming, nor would it make either lot fall below
minimum required lot area.
. Title Review - If a review of property title is required, the applicant will
be expected to bear the cost. No final decision has been made in this
particular case, but staff often forgo title review for minor subdivisions.
There was a review in connection with the 1987 platting, and the City
Attorney commented at that time that the affected property had one of
the "cleanest" titles he had seen for several years.
. Park Dedication - The City requires a park dedication fee only when
the number of lots in a proposed minor subdivision will increase from
the number of existing properties. In this case, the three properties will
result in only two lots, so no dedication is required.
e
Staff Recommendation
If the City Council finds justification for granting the variance on the existing
house, staff recommend approval of the proposed minor subdivision. If the
Council cannot justify the variance, then the application could still go forward with
only the vacant lot and the excess right-of-way, or with altered lot configurations
that would reduce or eliminate the need for a variance on the already-built lot.
.
Regardless of how the Council resolves the variance issue, staff recommend that
the following conditions be made a part of any concept approval of the proposed
minor subdivision:
. Prior to approval of the final plat, the City Engineer shall make a
determination as to whether the area of the Harold Avenue cul-de-sac
must be included in the plat.
. Prior to approval of the final plat, a surveyor shall verify the exact
dimensions and square footage of each proposed lot and staff shall
certify that all pertinent zoning requirements have been met.
. There shall be no variances granted for future construction on the
currently-vacant southerly lot except for defined hardships other than
lot configuration or the presence of two streets, both of which
3
,
situations are known to and/or created by the applicant and therefore
not justifiable as hardships.
· Prior to approval of the final plat, the City Engineer shall make a final
determination as to appropriate location of easements.
· If stated as a requirement by Hennepin County, an additional seven
feet of right-of-way shall be dedicated all along Glenwood Avenue.
· If the City Attorney determines that a review of title is necessary, it
shall be done at the expense of the applicant per City Code
requirement.

ADDENDUM TO APPLICATION FOR MINOR SUBDIVISION:
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE FROM SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS SO
THAT THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION AT GLENWOOD AND HAROLD
AVENUES CAN BE APPROVED EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES AN EXISTING
HOUSE NONCONFORMING
The application for minor subdivision of properties at Glenwood and Harold
Avenues would result in a situation where the northerly lot would "fail to meet all
of the requirements of the appropriate zoning district" as required in City Code
Sec. 12.50, Subd. 3.A. Zoning district requirements include limitations on
existing development as well as basic lot dimensions and area. The proposed
consolidation and re-division of properties would give the northerly lot a width in
excess of 100 feet, which requires a side setback of 15 feet for any house
constructed on that lot. There is already a house on the lot, built precisely to the
14.3 foot setback required for its current width of 95.38 feet. That house
becomes nonconforming - and therefore can never be expanded or altered - if
the lot is widened as proposed. The intent of the applicable subdivision
regulation is to prevent situations where the City knowingly participates in
creating a zoning code violation such as the one described.
As with the zoning chapter, the subdivision chapter of City Code provides a
means of waiving certain code requirements if specified conditions are met in
any particular case. Variances from the subdivision requirements are granted by
the City Council rather than the Board of Zoning Appeals and are regulated
under Sec. 12.54 of City Code. A variance can only be granted if all of the
following conditions are met:
· There are special circumstances affecting the property so that strict
application of the subdivision regulations would create an unusual
hardship (not including economic difficulty or inconvenience) and
deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the land.
· The variance is needed to ensure the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
· Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property in the neighborhood in which such property
is located.
It is difficult to justify creating a nonconformity for a property that is now fully
conforming. The northerly lot is already of ample size, and increasing its area
will take away from the buildable area of the southerly lot. That lot will also
remain of adequate overall size and width, but the land gained through the
(
excess right-of-way is almost entirely within the required Harold Avenue setback ..
and thus cannot be built on, while the land being transferred to the northerly lot is .
of a buildable configuration.
On the other hand, there is more to being "buildable" than simple size and
shape. While both lots are generally considered to be buildable by engineering
standards as well as size, the specific area being transferred from the southerly
to the northerly lot is known to be wet and low. Staff do not have enough
information to definitively prove or disprove any claim for how buildable that
specific area may be, but the argument could be made that poor soils in
combination with increasing local, state or federal development regulations
would have forced the construction of the existing home where it is presently
located even if the northerly lot had been over a hundred feet wide at the time of
construction. Inability to build on one portion of a lot due to poor soils or
wetlands might be considered a justifiable hardship, depending on what other
options are available to the property owner. In this case, the applicant would
have to demonstrate to the Council's satisfaction that the land is in fact
unbuildable and that the house could not reasonably have been reoriented to
meet a fifteen foot setback if that had been the requirement at the time of
construction.
One potential drawback for the applicant is that, if the Council does agree with
the "unbuildable" argument, that determination would affect future construction
plans as well as past construction. If the whole point of widening the northerly lot
is to allow expansion of the house into the widened area, finding the land
unbuildable is not a workable solution. Since there is ample room for expanding
the house toward Glenwood or Harold, staff are assuming that finding the land to
the south unbuildable will not be a problem for the applicant.
e
If the applicant fails to demonstrate to the Council's satisfaction that the land in
question is unbuildable, but still wants to increase the area of the northerly lot,
there may be a compromise solution. Again, it will not work if the applicant's
intent is to expand the house to the south, but it would provide increased area
toward Glenwood Avenue for landscaping purposes. The width of the northerly
lot would have to remain the same as it is now for a distance of approximately 95
feet back from the Harold Avenue cul-de-sac. That would include all of the area
where the house sits. The lot line could then deflect to the south at whatever
angle the applicant and Council would agree is suitable.
The resulting new lot would have approximately the same unusual configuration
as what is currently proposed by the applicant. Side setbacks are based on a
straight percentage of lot width up to a maximum setback of of 15 feet for any lot
width of 100 feet or more. The part of the proposed compromise lot where the
house is located would remain under 100 feet but the westerly portion would
increase to more than that, necessitating an administrative determination of the
.
.
,
.
e
.
appropriate setback distance. Because the width for all of the built area would
remain at a relatively constant 95 feet, the administrative determination could
reasonably be that the existing setback of 14.3 feet would remain approptiate for
the proposed compromise lot. No variance would be needed.
Action Needed at This Time
The City Council and the applicant must agree on one of three courses of action:
1. The land proposed for transfer from the southerly to the northerly lot
should be declared unbuildable, with no reasonable and available
options for altering the house to fit inside of normally required
setbacks. These special circumstances should be declared to create
an unusual hardship. A variance should be granted from the 15 foot
setback requirement to a minimum distance of 14.33 feet between the
northern property line and the house at its closest point. The granting
of the variance should specify that it is for existing construction only. It
should also specify that the variance is being granted because the
area of land involved in the transfer is hereby declared unbuildable, so
that no misunderstandings will occur in over future building plans after
staff and property owners have changed a few times.
2. A revision should be made to the area proposed for transfer from the
southerly lot to the northerly lot. The revision should leave the existing
property line in place for the full distance between the Harold Avenue
cul-de-sac and the most westerly extent of the existing house. An
administrative determination of appropriate setbacks should be
declared necessary due to the unusual lot configuration. That
determination should be that the existing 14.3 foot side setback
requirement will remain appropriate after the minor subdivision is
approved.
3. The applicant should withdraw the northerly lot from the application for
minor subdivision. The application could then proceed with only the
southerly lot and the excess right-of-way being conbined into a single
lot.
Staff have no recommendation as to which of the above three courses of action
would best protect the public interest.

MEMORANDUM

September 6, 1996
To:
Golden Valley Planning Commission
From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
Informal Public Hearing - Comprehensive land Use Plan Map
Amendment, Rezoning from Open Development to M-1 Multiple
Family, and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Preliminary Design
Plan for lilac Court Townhomes, 912 North lilac Drive - Twin City
Townhomes, Applicant
Introduction and Description of Proposal
Twin City Townhomes, represented by owner Forrest Harstad and Patrick Simons,
has requested several planning actions in order to begin the construction of a ten-
unit townhome development at 912 North Lilac Drive. The ten units are planned to
be constructed in three buildings on the 1.72 acre site. (The site will be 1.6 acres
after the lot is reduced for highway right-of-way for Hwy 100.) The property is
rectangular in size with about 420 feet of depth and 166 feet of width along Lilac
Drive and 191 feet of depth at the east end of the property. The property is currently
vacant. The property was previously used as a landscape nursery up until the
1960's. There are several old concrete foundations on the site.
The surrounding properties are primarily used for residential purposes. The
properties to the north are zoned Residential and utilized as single family home lots.
The property to the east is zoned Residential but the lots are vacant including the
one acre outlot. The property to the south is zoned Open Development and utilized
as a single family homestead. This property is about 1.9 acres in size, about the
same as the subject property. South of the site, about 150 feet, is the CNW railroad
tracks (active). It is anticipated that the Hennepin Park Reserve District trail will be
placed along the south side of the track within the next several years. This trail
would extend from Wirth Park to Medicine lake. The property to the west on the
other side ofTH 100 is zoned Radio (KQRS) and Open Development (one large
single family homestead south of KQRS). The area south of the CNW Railroad is
generally zoned for commercial or industrial purposes. The property north and east
of the site is zoned Residential (low density).
MnDOT is planning the upgrading of TH 100. This includes the widening of the road
to freeway status and improvements to the frontage road on both sides. Mr. Simons
has met with MnDOT officials and they have asked that an additional 30 feet of right-
of-way be dedicated for the future improvement to TH 100. The plans for the
1
frontage road include its extension to the south, across the railroad tracks, in order
that cars can get onto TH 55 near the Golden Valley House. The improvements will .
also include closing the access to Thotland Road. With this closing, the link across
the railroad track is necessary to maintain a southern access to the area west of
Sweeney Lake. This new connection to the TH 55 frontage road should be a benefit
to all in the area. The new frontage road will have increased traffic south of Thotland
compared to the existing situation where there is a dead end road. The amount of
traffic that would be generated by the ten-unit townhome development would be a
minor part of the overall trips on the east frontage road.
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Consistency with Housing Policies
The Comprehensive Plan has several elements. One element is the plan map which
guides the development of all parcels in Golden Valley. A second element are the
goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. In order for any
development to go forward, it must be consistent with both the map and written
goals, policies and objectives of the Plan.
The proposed use of the property for ten townhome units is not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan map. The Plan map for at least the past 23 years has guided
this area for low density residential uses. Low density uses, as defined in the
Housing Plan section, is for developments of 1-4 units per acre. This proposed
development is 10 units on 1.6 acres (after right-of-way is taken for TH 100) or about .
6.25 units per acre. In order for the proposed use to go forward, the Plan map would
have to be changed to mid-density housing (6-12 units per acre).
The written policies of the Plan indicate that the City would like to encourage
town home development. The policies also state that affordable housing and a
variety of housing types to serve a number of groups is important. These statements
are made in both the 1982 Housing Plan and the revised plan that is now before the
City Council for approval. Because Golden Valley is considered fully developed, it is
difficult, at best, to find locations for alternate forms of housing such as ownership
town homes. The important question that the Planning Commission and City Council
have to answer is whether this is the appropriate location for a ten-unit, ownership
town home development.
As stated above, the Comprehensive Plan map for the subject lot is low density.
This guiding is also the same for the entire area west of Sweeney Lake, east of TH
100 and north of the railroad tracks.' Will the changing of the map for this 1.6 acre
parcel have a detrimental effect on the area? The property to the immediate north is
used for two single family houses. Those houses would be about 35-50 feet from the
nearest proposed town home. The property to the east is vacant although zoned
Residential. The outlot to the east has its only access over the south 14 feet of the
subject property. The property to the south is used as a single family homestead.
They have been used to this parcel as open space for the past quarter century.
.
2
.
.
.
If the subject lot were changed to allow town homes, how would this effect the lot to
the south? Staff was told by Mr. Harstad, that he approached the property owners to
the south about buying their property, but he made no offer. He said at this time they
were not interested. I have spoken to the owners of the property to the south and
they are happy staying in their home but they would consider an offer. If the property
owners to the south chooses to remain in their home at this time, a similar townhome
development could occur at a future time on this property. Mr. Harstad said he is
interested in the parcel and would either buy it from them or help them develop it.
Another option related to the Comprehensive Plan map and the property to the south
is to consider changing the Plan map for that property now or at some time in the
near future. It seems to make some sense that the Plan map for the subject property
and the property to the south be the same. This would not have a negative effect on
the south property owner because the house could continue to remain. In fact, the
change on the Plan map could enhance its value.
The alternative development that would be consistent with the guiding found on the
Plan map is a single family development. Staff estimates that this site would be
large enough for a four lot subdivision with a public street (cul-de-sac) off of Lilac
Drive. There could be an arrangement where this street could serve a future
development on the property to the south. At this time, however, the owner to the
south has not shown interest in development. It is difficult for the City to provide
such a public improvement without cooperation from both owners. It could also be
possible for the property owner to the south to also provide a four lot subdivision with
its own public street.
There will obviously be an effect on the surrounding properties, especially the one to
the south with a townhome development. Even with good landscaping and the
saving of as many trees as possible, there will still be ten units on the property where
there are now none. There will also be about 90 to 100 addition trips per day on the
frontage road. Although this number of trips is relatively insignificant, there are
currently no trips generated from the site today. When the new frontage road is
completed, the access would be improved.
Overall, staff believe that the goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan, relating to the
encouragement of new and varied housing, is important. Because the City is fully
developed, opportunities such as this do not come along very often. This type of
owner-occupied town homes are attractive and provide a type of afford-able housing
that is not readily available in the City. Townhome developments are well
maintained through homeowner associations and requirements of the PUD. (Staff
asks the Planning Commission to review both the existing and proposed Housing
Plan for comments and guidance.) They will also consider how the proposed
development will affect the City's Livable Community goals.
As part of the Comprehensive Plan map revision, the City is required to submit the
amendment to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval. The Metro Council
3
is responsible for assuring that the proposed amendment will not conflict with
existing metropolitan systems (highways, parks, airports, waste water treatment, etc.) .
Zoning Map Amendment from Open Development to M-1
It is the position of the City that if a developer proposes a PUD, the use proposed in
the PUD must be consistent with the underlying zoning for the site. Currently, this
property is Open Development. If this development is to be considered, the property
must be rezoned to M-1 (Multiple Family).
The subject property and the property to the south have been zoned Open
Development since the mid-1930's when the City adopted its first Zoning Code. At
that time, the Open District permitted all residential uses and other uses that were
not in two other districts which were for commercial and industrial uses. In the mid-
1950's a new zoning ordinance and map were established by the City which better
defined the uses permitted in the Residential District. If a property owner choose not
to be zoned Residential, the property remained Open Development with the uses on
the site becoming non-conforming. Over the years, many of the Open Development
property have been rezoned to allow development. The subject property, and its
neighbor to the south, have remained Open Development. Technically speaking, the
old nursery and the house on the lot to the south are non-conforming uses. They
can only be expanded or built on after a rezoning occurs.
The question will come up regarding the issue of "spot zoning". If this 1.6 acre lot is
rezoned to M-1, is this spot zoning if the property to the south and north remain
Residential? If the Plan map is amended, staff believe that this is a large enough
parcel to stand on its own and not be considered a "spot zoning". If it were a 10,000
sq.ft. lot, staff would have a different opinion. However, there are other areas in the
City where there are 1 to 2 acre parcels that are zoned differently than adjoining
parcels. Also, this rezoning is for a residential use, not a commercial or industrial
use. The ten town homes will have a density of 6.25 units per acre which is at the
low end of the mid-density scale. The town homes will be owner occupied, the same
as many of the homes in the area. The proposed townhomes will be one level with
basements which provides a building about the same height as many homes in the
area.
Preliminary Design Plan Review for Planned Unit Development
Twin City Townhomes have requested a PUD for this site in order to construct the
ten-unit development in three buildings on the 1.6 acre site. The site will have three
lots, one for each of the buildings. The largest building with six units will be on lot 3.
The other two buildings with two units each will be on lot 1 and lot 2. The PUD
ordinance states that townhomes are a type of development that qualifies to use the
PUD process.

The proposed site plan is self explanatory. There are three buildings housing the
townhomes. Each of the units has a first floor level of about 1170 sq. ft. and a
basement level of up to 1800 sq. ft. The owner may finish the basement or leave it
unfinished. There is a 12 ft. by 12 ft. deck on each unit. Each unit has a two car
attached garage with space for parking two cars in front of the garage. The site also
indicates space for ten cars to be parked off-site. Each unit then has space to park
five cars. This would be more than adequate.
The developer is requesting four variances from the requirements of the M-1 zoning
district. The PUD ordinance requires the developer to spell out all variances required
from the zoning district in which the development is proposed. In this case, the
developer would like to place the buildings closer than the requirements stipulated in
the M-1 district. Within the M-1 district, the side and rear yard setbacks are 50 feet
from adjacent residential properties. From the adjacent Open Development district,
the side and rear yard setback is 25 feet. The front yard setback is to be 35 feet
from any right-of-way. Twin City Townhome is requesting a side yard setback of 15
feet on the north side, 25 feet on the east side, 19 feet on the south side and 25 feet
on the street (west) side. They have submitted to the City an explanation of the
variance requests. Without these variances, it would be difficult or impossible to
construct ten town home units due to the size of the site.
A private road will extend into the site from North Lilac Drive giving access to each
unit. The Fire Department has reviewed the plan and finds it to have adequate
ingress and egress for emergency vehicles. Also, the Fire Department believes
there is adequate water and hydrants provided to the site. The private street will be
24 feet wide and built to City standards. The street will be posted for "No Parking-
Fire Lane" throughout the development. It has been determined by the City
Engineer that access to the site from Unity Avenue is not practicable due to the
grade change. Staff believe that maintaining access only from the frontage road will
make this development more private and separate from the other housing in the
area.
The developer will be asked to dedicate an additional 30 feet for TH 100 right-of-way
as indicated on the site plan. This reduces the overall size of the parcel by about .12
acres (from 1.72 acres to 1.6 acres). Because this will eventually improve access to
the site, this type of dedication seems reasonable.
Access to the outlot to the east is over the south 14 feet of the subject lot. Mr.
Harstad is aware of this requirement and will not object to the use of this easement.
Mr. Harstad is also willing to grant the property owner to the south an easement to
use the new driveway to gain access to their property as shown on the site plan.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the preliminary plans for providing utilities
to the site. It appears that sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer are available to
serve the site. The storm water management system for the site will require further
5
review by the City Engineer, although there are no issues that the City Engineer
believes cannot be overcome.
.
Public street access to the site is from the frontage road that will be improved as part
ofthe TH 100 upgrading. In the meantime, access will be to the dead-end portion of
North Lilac Drive. Because of the low number of trips that this ten-unit development
will produce (approximately 90 to 100 trips per day), this will not adversely affect
traffic movement or safety in the area. Obviously, the traffic access for the entire
area will be enhanced once the frontage road is extended to the south and TH 55.
The developer has submitted a preliminary landscaping plan which indicates a
minimal landscape plan. The developer has told me that he would like to keep as
many of the existing trees on the site as possible. Staff would like to see additional
landscaping or berming along the south property line in order to screen the rear of
the town homes from the existing house to the south. (The berming may not be
possible because the access easement to the outlot is over the south 14
feet of the subject property.
There will be a required park dedication for this development. The exact amount has
not yet been determined for a recommendation to the City Council. Park dedications
occur, whenever a parcel that has not been subdivided, is subdivided for the first
time.
Staff encourages each of the Planning Commission members to take a 1/2 hour
drive this weekend to Spring lake Park where the exact same town homes are being
built. One of the units is now complete and open for inspection as part of the Parade
of Homes. The unit will be open from 12-5 PM on both Saturday and Sunday. The
town homes are located at about 7900 Taylor Street in Spring lake Park. Take TH
100 north to 1-694. 1-694 east to Hwy 65. Hwy 65 north to Osborne. Take a left
(west) on Osborne a short block to Taylor. Turn right on Taylor and go a long block
north to the model. It is directly south of Spring lake Park High School. I have taken
several pictures of the town home building at this location that I will have at the
meeting. I am enclosing copies of information about the Park Heights Townhomes.
.
Recommended Action
Staff is recommending approval of the Preliminary Design Plan for the Lilac Court
Townhomes PUD. The proposed plan will work on the proposed site from both an
engineering and planning perspective. The ten units are residential in character and
will fit in with the existing neighborhood. The proposed value of the homes, in the
$125-150,000 price range, is similar to many homes to the north of the site. The
amount of traffic that will be generated from the site is small and will not have a
significant impact on the existing or Mure street system. The variances from the
Zoning Code are reasonable due to the size of the lot and the type of construction
proposed on the site.
.

.
This type of town home development is needed in Golden Valley to help fulfill the
demands of aging population. Most of the residents, who will live in these
town homes, are predicted to be empty nesters or retired persons who desire
maintenance free living on one or two levels. The number of such town homes in
Golden Valley are limited. The experience that the City has had, with townhomes
and town home associations, has been good when the town home association is
properly established to do short and long term maintenance. New state law has now
required that adequate money be put aside by town home associations to guarantee
that proper maintenance be done.
Staff suggests the following conditions for approval:
· The City Engineer give final approval to all utility and storm water management
plans.
· The Director of Inspections give final approval to all plans related to emergency
access.
· The landscape plan be enhanced to upgrade landscaping along the south and
north property lines adjacent to the residential properties.
· The access easement to the outlot to the east be maintained. Also, the property
owner to the south may obtain an easement for access over the proposed
driveway to the property.
· The developer provide MnDOT with the 30 feet of additional right-of-way for North
Lilac Drive as shown on the attached site plan.
· The City approve all townhome association agreements.

912 Lilac Dr., N.
Golden Valley
19 August 1996
ZONING VARIANCES REQUESTED
Condition: The subject site is long (420 feet) and narrow (166 feet at Lilac Drive).
This shape limits the range of viable development concepts which is why it has long been
vacant. The highest and best use of the land is a new neighborhood of our highly
regarded owner-occupied, medium-density, high-quality townhomes which have been so
well received in many local cities including Spring Lake Park. These will conform well
to the surrounding single family residential neighborhood. The common driveway has
been consciously designed to route cars to the interior of the neighborhood. The proposal
creatively produces a desirable new neighborhood with an open feel while retaining
privacy and buffering from the surrounding single family neighborhood.
.
Solutions:
1. Side Setback: The proposal is designed with 15 foot side setbacks. M-l
requirements are for side setbacks of 50 feet from adjacent
Residential use. The Residential side setback requirement is 15
feet. Because the new townhomes will be single-level, owner-
occupied, and will conform well to the surrounding single family
neighborhood, the Residential side setback of 15 feet is more
applicable to this new neighborhood. Also, a 15 foot side setback
creates a more open feel within the new neighborhood.
2. Rear Yard:
The proposal is designed with 25 foot rear yards. M-l
requirements are for rear yards of 50 feet from adjacent
Residential use. Using the Residential rear yard requirement of
20% of lot depth, a comparable Residential rear yard would be no
more than 25 feet. Because the new townhomes will, be single-
level, owner-occupied, and will conform well to the $urrounding
single family residential neighborhood, the equivalent Residential
rear yard of approximately 25 feet is more applicabl, to this new
neighborhood. Also, a 25 foot rear yard creates a more open feel
within the new neighborhood.

Golden Valley, MN 55427-4588
Re: 1.7:t acres at 912 Lilac Drive, Golden Valley, MN
Dear Mark,
-
By this letter, Twin City Townhomes, Inc. requests that the Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan
be amended, regarding the above referenced property, from low density to medium density
residential.
The subject site is long (420 feet) and narrow (166 feet at Lilac Drive). Also, the site is very high
on one side and very low on the other. This shape and topography limits the range of viable
development concepts which is why it has been long vacant in spite of a shortage of developable
land in the immediate area. The highest and best use of the land is a new neighborhood of our
highly regarded townhomes which have the following features:
. owner-occupied
. single-level
. high-quality
. medium-density of under 6 units per acre
. well received in many local cities
These will conform well to the surrounding single family residential neighborhood. There has
grown in the market place a high demand for the managed association, maintenance-free lifestyle
experienced in a neighborhood of this type. The proposal creatively produces a desirable new
neighborhood with an open feel while retaining privacy and buffering from the surrounding
single family neighborhood.
Sincerely,
-f;1
