ADJOURNMENT MINUTES OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION . Apri 1 12, 1993 A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall, Council Chamber, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. The meeting was called to order by Vice-Chair Johnson at 7:05 PM. Those present were Commissioners Groger, Johnson, Kapsner, Lewis, McAleese (arrived 7:08 PM), Pentel and Prazak. Also present were Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development; Beth Knoblauch, City Planner; and Mary Dold, Secretary. I. Approval of Minutes - March 8, 1993 MOVED by Groger, seconded by Lewis and motion carried unanimously to approve the March 8, 1993 minutes as submitted. e II. Informal Public Hearing - Minor Subdivision Applicant: Eric Lerdall/Eric Barstad Address: 8179-8181 Medicine Lake Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota Request: Subdi vi de the exi st i ng lot into two separate lots in order that each half of the double bungalow is on its own lot. Mark Grimes gave a brief summary of his memo to the Planning Commission dated April 6, 1993. He commented that the applicants are requesting that their two- family house, which is located on one lot, be divided in order that each half is on its own lot. The subdivision code lists several conditions that must be met before a minor subdivision for a double bungalow may be approved; all require- ments have been met. Staff contacted Hennepin County regardin'g an additional seven (7) feet of right-of-way and Hennepin County commented they would not need any more ri ght-of-way. The County already has 80 feet of ri ght-of-way in that location on Medicine Lake Road. Mr. Grimes talked about the "Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Conditions" between the owners and the City. This covenants would substantiate that the owners would be responsible to maintain the property and submit to arbitration if there is a disagreement. The City Attorney must review the cove- nants to determi ne the rol e of the City. The covenants must be recorded with Hennepin County along with the final plat. Commissioner Lewis asked about the liability for the City being party to a cove- nants. Mr. Gri mes commented that is one reason why the Ci ty Attorney must review the covenants. Chai r MeAl eese commented that he sees the purpose of the Convenants Agreement for the two parties involved but doesn't feel the City should get involved in the maintenance of the property. Mr. Grimes commented that this issue would e have to be reviewed with the City Attorney. The applicants, Eric Lerdall and Eric Barstad, 8179-8181 Medicine Lake Road, presented pictures of the lot which they want to subdivide. e Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission Apri 1 12, 1993 Page Two Commissioner Groger asked if the driveway was a common driveway and if there is something in writing on who does the snow removal. Mr. Lerdall commented that the dri veway is a common dri veway and there is nothi ng noted about who is responsible for snow removal in the driveway. Commissioner Pental asked if each lot would be zoned R-2. Mr. Grimes stated that in combination it must be zoned one R-2 lot. Chair McAleese opened the informal public hearing. Charl es Wi cks, 8139 Medi ci ne Lake Road, commented that he was concerned about the past home occupation and rental of the upper floor of one side of the house. He is also concerned that this lot split will devalue the homes in the area and would like some reassurance that this building will not become a 4-plex. Sandra Hopkins, 8140 25th Avenue No., is concerned about the lot split and size of each lot and what it will do to the value of the surrounding homes. Mark Grimes commented that home occupations are permitted which are limited to indoor use and there are regulations which must be followed. He also commented that the owner can rent out his side of home but cannot rent out the upper or lower level. He also stated that five unrelated persons could live in the home. Regarding the issue of each side becoming a duplex, Mr. Grimes stated that the property is not zoned for a 4-plex and highly doubts that this would ever occur. e John Lindbo, 8101 Medicine Lake Road, is concerned that the subject site will become a 4-plex. Chair McAleese closed the informal public hearing. Commissioner Pentel expressed her concern about this site becoming an investment property and the units becoming rentals. Commi ssi oner Johnson is concerned about the amount of time the City wi 11 be involved with maintenance of this property. She has seen house doors stacked outside and a number of cars parked at this site. Chair McAleese commented that this subdivision meets all the requirements and feels that the City Attorney needs to review the covenants and this should be a condition. Commi ssi oner Groger feel s he woul d be more concerned if the subject site was smaller and older but feels it will maintain its value after the subdivision. MOVED by Kapsner, seconded by Lewis and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval to the City Council with the condition that the City Attorney review and approve the "Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Conditions". e III. Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit Applicant: Affiliated Emergency Veterinary Service (AEVS) Address: 4708 Olson Memorial Hwy., Golden Valley, Minnesota Request: Operate an animal hospital in a Commercial Zoning District e Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 12, 1993 Page Three Mark Grimes gave a brief summary of the request by AEVS. They have outgrown their building and have found a building at 4708 Olson Memorial Hwy. which will serve them for quite a while. AEVS plans to do a substantial upgrade to the site; they will bring the building up to code and bring in curb and gutter. AEVS is proposing 22 spaces of parking which is six (6) spaces short of the required amount for a medical clinic in a commercial zoning district. There are six available spaces that can be added if there were a need. Mr. Grimes is recommending that the CUP require that the six additional spaces be built if the Director of Inspections believes there is ever a parking problem. Staff recom- mends approval for this request. Commissioner Prazak asked Mr. Grimes about the boarding of animals. Mr. Grimes stated that animals will be kept on the premise only as long as they are treated. There are no outside runs for animals. General Manager, Steve Schu1berg, told the Commission that their present faci- lity is too small and they want to remain in the Golden Valley area. The pro- posed space will give AEVS the opportunity to be as good or better than the University of Minnesota's emergency clinic. e Commissioner Prazak asked if they were looking for more business and Mr. Schul berg commented that they are looking to give better care at the new facil- ity not additional business. Commissioner Lewis questioned the hours of operation. Mr. Schul berg commented that the facility is open from 6 PM to 8 AM and 24 hours a day on the weekends. Chair McAleese asked about regulations for disgarding used materials, i.e. needles. Mr. Schul berg stated that AEVS is governed by OSHA and other agencies. Chair McAleese opened the informal public hearing; seeing and hearing no one Chair McAleese closed the informal public hearing. The Commi ssi oners unanimously agreed that thi s wou1 d be a good move for the Affiliated Emergency Veterinary Service and the City of Golden Valley. MOVED by Groger, seconded by Prazak and motion carried unanimously to recommend to the City Council approval for the Conditional Use Permit and conditions out- lined in Mr. Grimes memo dated April 7, 1993.

Adjournment Chair McAleese adjourned the meeting at 8:20 PM. Jean Lewis, Secretary . e , e e . .1 M E M 0 RAN DUM ---------- DATE: April 30, 1993 TO: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF VALLEY SQUARE 4TH ADDITION -- GOLDEN VALLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (HRA), APPLICANT Background The Golden Valley HRA currently owns the entire area bounded by Winnetka Avenue, Golden Valley Road, Rhode Island Avenue and TH. 55. This area is known as Area C in the Valley Square Redevelopment Plan. The HRA has acquired the block over the past several years from several different persons or corporations including Dahlberg Inc., Phil Krelitz (Valley Plaza Shopping Center) and Adams Realty. The HRA acquired these properties with the intent that the area would be rede- veloped. There are still some retail uses left on the block. The HRA continues to rent retail space in the Valley Plaza Shopping Center on a short term basis to those tenants that were in the building when the HRA purchased it. Kentucky Fried Chicken at the corner of Rhode Island and TH. 55 has a land lease for their operation. The Mobil Station and the baseball card/reptile shop continues on a short term lease with the HRA. The old Adams building at 7711 Country Club Drive was used as a temporary City Hall and is now used by the police department and for storage. This April, 1993 the HRA designated Craig C. Avery Company as the developer for the northeast three (3) acres of Area C. Mr. Avery is working in conjunction with Walker Methodist Homes of Minneapolis to build a 72-80 unit assisted living building on this site. In order for the HRA to sell a site to Mr. Avery, a par- cel has to be created. The proposed preliminary plat creates two lots -- one for the assisted living building and one for the remainder of Area C. It is hoped that the remainder of the block will be developed for retail uses during 1994. The HRA has begun discussions with several potential retail developers. The Commission will consider a request of a preliminary design plan for a P.U.D. for the assisted living building at the May 10th meeting. The current schedule, proposed by Avery /Wal ker is to try to break ground in September or by mi d- summer. The P.U.D. process is a combined platting and zoning process. One of the final steps is to create a separate plat for the P.U.D. Therefore, the plat of Valley Square 4th Addition must be completed prior to the completion of the P.U.D. for the assisted living building. The completion of the Valley Square 4th Addition allows the HRA to sell the one lot to Avery/Walker Methodist which permits their P.U.D. to be completed. (A P.U.D. may only be completed by the applicant/ developer who owns the property. Currently, the HRA owns all of Area C and the applicant cannot complete the general plan process unless they are owners.) " Page Two Description of Preliminary Plat The area to be included in Valley Square 4th Addition includes all of Area C plus the triangular area surrounded by Golden Valley Road, Country Club Drive and Rhode Island Avenue. This is the site of the old Point Supper Club that burned in the late 70's. e The entire area is about 12 acres or 525,000 sq.ft. in area. The proposed lot for the assisted living building is 2.8 acres (125,000 sq.ft.). The other lot or remainder of the block is about 9.2 acres or 400,000 sq.ft. The preliminary plat is a survey that the HRA had done in February of 1993. The City I sEngi neeri ng Department has taken the survey and through the wonders of the City's new computer aided design system made changes to create the prelimi- nary plat. The significant points about the preliminary plat are as follows: 1. Country Club Drive will be vacated prior to the platting of Valley Square 4th Addition being finalized. The land where Country Club Drive is now located becomes a part of the block. The City does not believe it is necessary to keep Country Club Drive open with the future improvements planned for Golden Valley Road. Also, the vacating of the street allows for a better site for the assisted living building. There are a significant number of utility ease- ments within the existing right-of-way. These easements will not be vacated. This means that no building can be built over where County e Club Drive is now located. Everything north of the south right-of- way 1 i ne of Country Cl ub Dri ve will be green area or dri veways/ parking lot. 2. Rhode Island Avenue right-of-way will be widened to 70 feet south of Country Cl ub Dri ve and 80 feet north of Country Cl ub Dri ve. The wi deni ng of the ri ght-of-way is proposed to accommodate increased traffic on Rhode Island Avenue when additional retail development occurs on Area C. The current R-O-W width of Rhode Island Avenue south of Country Club Drive is only 50 feet, barely wide enough for the existing pavement. A new street would include more lanes and sidewalks. The date of construction for such improvement is not known but it would have to correspond to the development of the rest of Area C. 3. Winnetka Avenue R-O-W will be increased by approximately 17 feet to accommodate the planned improvement in 1994. The County Board, approved the Winnetka Avenue project in April so the necessary right- of-way for the widening must be obtained. 4. Golden Valley Road R-O-W will be increased by approximately 15 feet to accommodate the planned improvements to Winnetka Avenue in 1994. In order to provide for turn lanes and better sidewalks/streetscape at the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Winnetka, Golden Valley Road east of Winnetka will be widened. Golden Valley Road will also ~ be widened between Winnetka and Rhode Island Avenue. ~ , # e Page Three (At this time, right-of-way limits shown on the preliminary plat are preliminary. The final right-of-way needs will be indicated on the final plat of Valley Square 4th Addition.) 5. There are a number of easements that will need to be vacated that now exist on Area C. The Engineering Department and City Attorney are now worki ng on those matters. It shoul d be noted that the access opening to TH. 55 between Winnetka and Rhode Island Avenue will be e 1 i mi nated when the block is redeveloped. Thi s wi 11 be done in the interest of traffic safety. Valley Square 4th Addition will be submitted to both the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County for their review and comment since the plat is adjacent to both state and county highways. The staff does not anticipate any negative comments from these agencies. Recommended Action e The staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Valley Square 4th Addition. The preliminary plat creates the necessary lot for the proposed assisted living building. In addition, the plat will create the necessary new street ri ght-of-ways that are needed to accommodate future development in the Valley Square Area. The large, 9.2 acre lot that will remain open for develop- ment has good access from four streets and is of a significant size to allow for numerous development options.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLAN FOR 72-80 UNIT ASSISTED LIVING BUILDING __ CRAIG C. AVERY COMPANY, APPLICANT e At the April HRA meeting Craig C. Avery Co. (CCAC) was designated developer of the northeast corner of Area C. CCAC is planning to work with Walker Methodist Inc. (Walker) to construct a 72-80 unit assisted living building for seniors. The proposed site is about 2.8 acres in size. The site is about 290 feet east to west and 370 feet north to south. The site includes part of vacated Country Club Drive and a large portion of the triangle area north of County Club Drive. Although Country Club Drive will be vacated, utility easements will remain under the entire 66 feet width of Country Club Drive. (There are numerous utilities running under County Club Drive that cannot be relocated due to cost.) There- fore, bUilding construction will not occur north of the south right-of-way line of County Club Drive. Only driveways and parking are proposed in that area. The proposed building is three stories with a partial basement. Attached are the proposed floor plans for each floor. I toured the assisted living building that Walker operates at 7400 York Avenue So. in Edina with the Director of Inspections, Lloyd Becker. It opened in 1992. This building is very similar to the one being proposed in Golden Valley. I am attaching a brochure that describes the concept of assisted housing. We were impressed by its construction, architecture and program for residents. I believe it would be well accepted in Golden Valley and fill a housing need. My understanding is that assisted housing fills the need of those seniors that can no longer live in complete independence but are not ready for the costly and more extensive care given by a nursing home. The current 7400 York Avenue So. resident is about 85 years of age. The outside appearance of the building is shown on the attached elevations. The architect of the building, Arvid Elness, will be at the Planning Commission meeting on May 10th to give an explanation of the details. The building will be somewhat different than the 7400 York Avenue So. building which is all brick. The Golden Valley building will have a brick and stucco exterior with a cape cod type roof design. Parking for the proposed building is very limited. The site plan indicates only 28 spaces for the 72-80 units. The Zoning Code normally calls for one to two space(s) per unit. The residents of this type of bUilding do not own cars, although it is not prohibited. At the 7400 York Ave. So. building, there is only one resident car parked in the lot. The others do not own cars. Parking is furnished for staff and guests. Walker feels that 28-30 spaces exceeds their needs. e e Page Two The bui 1 di ng wi 11 have a covered dri ve-up area to drop-off guests in front of the building. There is also a garage planned on the first floor level where residents can be picked-up or dropped off inside the building during bad weather. Deliveries to the building are made either through the front door or a service entry at the south end of the building. The site plan indicates that there is an existing woods south of the building. This wooded area will remain as a buffer to the eventual retail development that will be built on the block. Some buffering along the west side of the building will also have to be done by Walker and the eventual developer of the area to the west of the site. I have asked the architect to address the issue of landscaping at the May 10th meeti ng. They have done a good job of 1 andscaping at the 7400 York Ave. So. site and I expect the same at the Golden Valley site. e The area north of vacated Country C1 ub Dri ve wi 11 be owned and mai ntai ned by Walker. The staff has told CCAC that the City does not want to maintain the area and it would be best maintained as a part of the Walker site. There is a slight difference in the size of the lot proposed on the CCAC/Walker site plan than is shown on the preliminary plat. Because the City needs 70 feet of R-O-W for Rhode Island Avenue, staff has asked that the site be reduced to 290 feet in wi dth rather than 300 feet. The site wi 11 have 20 feet taken off the east side and 10 feet added along the west side. The architect believes that this can be accomplished by moving the building 20 feet to the west. The parking area along the west side of the site will be switched to along the driveway south of the building. The building setback of 35 feet from Rhode Island Avenue will still be maintained. The setback from the west property line would remain 10 feet to the driveway and about 50 to 55 feet to the bUilding. Reconunendation The staff recommends approval of the preliminary design plan for a 72-80 unit assisted living building on 2.8 acres at the northeast corner of Area C. The proposed use is consistent with plans for the Valley Square area and it provides for a housing need in Golden Valley. The proposed building fits well on the site in terms of access and parking. The design proposed is attractive and will blend well with the surrounding uses. Future development of the remainder of Area C should not have a negative impact on the building. The existing wooded area to the south provides a good buffer. The triangle area to the north of Country Club Drive will provide an attractive, well maintained green area at this "gateway" to Valley Square.

Summary of SiQnificant Trendsr Deve10pmentsr P01icies durinQ previous year. e The combined Oasis Program/Bill Kelly House transitional services program served a total of fifteen clients the previous twelve months. To meet the increasing demand for this specialized aftercare service, a second half-time position was added in December of 1992. The transitional program assists clients in locating suitable and affordable housing in the community. A number of clients move to subsidized apartments sponsored by HUD Section 8 vouchers. Other clients who require more support are referred to various supervised apartment training programs. The transitional counselors assist clients in arranging funding for apartment living, help develop a community support and crisis intervention plan, assist in the actual move itself, and are available to visit clients in their apartments to help with medication monitoring, money management, housekeeping skills, and other problems that might corne up. The aftercare follow-up is currently limited to a three month period of time. The aftercare services are the result of trends at the State Department of Human Services which is emphasizing moving clients through residential treatment services like Oasis Program on a timely basis, and then assisting clients to move to more independent, stable living situations in the community. B. During the previous year Oasis Program staff saw an increased need to provide specialized support services to clients about to be admitted to the Program directly from one of the Regional Treatment Centers. For ~any mentally ill persons, the stress of moving to a new er.vironment is particularly difficult. Oasis Program works closely with the Regional Treatment Centers and other referral agencies to arrange pre-admission visits to the facility so clients are familiar with the surroundings, staff, and other clients before actual admission. This has resulted in much smoother transitions for many clients entering the Program. II. ProQram Services. e A. Individual Case Manaoement. Each client is assigned a Primary Therapist/Case Manager who is responsible for conducting 1:1 sessions, developing a client program plan of goals and objectives, conducting quarterly reviews of client progress, serving as a liaison between Oasis Program and other community support services, and planning for discharge and aftercare services. B. General Groue Theraey. Most clients attend morning group therapy, four days a week for one hour. A number of clients who have been in the Program longer may be working outside the Program in the mornings. The group is facilitated by two mental health counselors, and is presented in a psycho-educational format which emphasizes teaching clients coping skills in dealing with their mental illness. C. Chemical Health Group. Meets once a week for 1~ hours. All Oasis clients are asked to attend since the group emphasizes a general educational approach. The group is facilitated by a Mental Health Counselor. D. Imoulse Control Group. Meets once a week for one hour for clients who need to work on impulsive behaviors. :. Men's and Women's Groues. Meet once a week for one hour :0 discuss issues best dealt with in same-sex groups. Specialized social and recreational activities are also included in these groups. F. Evenin~ Goal Groue. This group occurs five evenings a week and is facilitated by the evening Mental Health Workers. The purpose of the group is to allow clients to discuss progress on goals worked on during the day. G. General House Meetinq. Meets once a week for one hour to discuss issues of every day living in a residential treatment program. Program graduates are also invited to attend as a form of aftercare. The resident Advisory Council also meets at this time. H. Indeoendent Livinq Skills Classes. Classes offered include cooking, budgeting skills, job skills, nutrition and exercise, conversation/social skills, and leisure time planning. These classes are offered on a rotating basis and are designed to help clients learn how to live more successfully on their own. I. Social/Recreation Activities. Program staff conduct organi~ed recreation activities five evenings a week as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Clients meet at the beginning of the month to plan a monthly recreation calendar. Typical activities include bowling, picnics, Swimming, movies, sporting events, and concerts. Clients also make use of activities sponsored by Hennepin County Community Support Programs. J. Vocational Involvement and Planninq. The Oasis Program is designed to get clients involved in vocational planning after they have been in the Program two or three months. During the past year clients have been involved in various Division of Rehabilitation Services [DRS] programs, Hennepin County's Vocational Services Program, Tasks Cnlimited janitorial training, volunteer positions, and part-time competitive employment. e e e e K. Aftercare Services Planninq. Oasis Program provides 1.5 FTE staff persons who are primarily responsible to assist clients in arranging Post-discharge independent living situations. Three month follow-up counseling and supervision is also provided. III. Oasis Proqram Staffinq. Oasis staff consists of seventeen full and part-time staff members.

Staff Traininq and Development. Oasis Program staff are required to have at least 15 hours of inservice training each year. Much of this training is provided through the Minnesota Association of Mental Health Residential Facilities [MAMHRF], of which Oasis Program is a member. Training is provided through in-person conferences and workshops as well as a series of video tapes. Some of the topics include: Crisis prevention and intervention, stress management, medications, first-aid, cultural sensitivity training, working with families, and vulnerable adults issues. Several staff were involved in Master's programs in psychOlogy. Additional staff training is provided for one hour bi-weekly by a Licensed PsychOlogist who meets with treatment staff to discuss individual client treatment issues. V. Administrative Policy and Procedure Chanqes. The Oasis Program's parent organization, Kelly-Norton Programs, Inc., reorganized its Board of Directors during the previous year. Henry W. ~orton moved from President of the corporation to Chairman of the Board. W. David Morin, Oasis Program Director, became President of KNP, Inc., but will remain as Director of Oasis Program. Corporate personnel policies were revised to include a more up to date and comprehensive pOlicy on sexual harassment in the workplace. All Job Descriptions were revised to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act [ADA]. VI. Proqram Licensinq. The Oasis Program is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services as a Category I Rule 36 treatment program. The License for 1993-1994 will be granted on July 1, 1993. The Program is also licensed as a Supervised Living Facility by the State Department of Health. Current licensing was granted on January 1, 1993. e VII. Clients Served. Oasis Program is required to give admission preference to clients residing in Hennepin County. During the past year, only t~o clients from counties other than Hennepin were served. The Program continues to attract clients used to living in a suburban environment. Oasis Program's experience in Golden Valley strongly indicates that clients do better in a safe, low stress environment. It should be noted that some clients who express a wish to live in the area, could not be admitted because they did not fit all the admission criteria. All clients admitted to the VIII. Resident Community Involvement. Oasis clients increased their involvement in the various Community Support Programs located in Hennepin County. The objective is to familiarize clients with CSP services that will be useful to them when they graduate from Oasis Program. Several clients also participated in volunteer work at Courage Center, Pilot City Food Shelf, and the Community Emergency Assistance Program. e IX. Community Involvement Into Proqram. The Oasis Program's Advisory Board met a total of four times during the ~ast year. The Advisory Board consists of a cross section of community representatives as well as a Program client. An additional Board member was recruited during the year. Oasis Program administrators present progress reports at t~e meetings and sOlicit feedback and advice from Board members. X. Evaluation of Proqram Services. Oasis Program collects and prepares extensive data on client descriptors and outcomes on a quarterly basis. This data is forwarded to Hennepin County Mental Health Division and to the State De~artment of Human Services in raw form and is then sent bac~ to the Program for analysis. Oasis Program staff contir.ually review the data to assure that outcome results are satisfactory and the correct target population is being served. [See attached data analysis]. e XI.
