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 pro-
posed 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 recommenda-
tion, in reaching its decision.
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 recommenda-
tion from staff. Commission members may ask questions of staff.
2. The proponent 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 deter-
mine 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
May 24, 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 Chair McAleese at 7:02 PM.
Those present were Commissioners Groger, Johnson, Kapsner, Lewis, McAleese,
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 - May 10, 1993
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by Pentel and motion carried unanimously to approve
the May 10, 1993 minutes with the following correction: Page Three, Para. 2
change Chair Prazak to Chair McAleese.
II. Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit
Applicant: U.S. West Communications, Inc.
Address: 710 Mendelssohn Avenue North, Golden Valley, Minnesota
Request:
To operate a truck/van terminal in an Industrial Zoning
Di stri ct
Beth Knoblauch, City Planner, reviewed her memo dated May 19, 1993 with the
Pl anni ng Commi ssi on. She commented that because of the hi ghly speci al i zed
nature of what goes on in the building it was determined the best categorization
of use for this site would be Class III Essential Service. There is no asso-
ciated parking requirement provided for essential services; City Code gives the
City Council the authority to establish how much parking is necessary. Ms.
Knoblauch thoroughly reviewed the parking situation at this site (which is pre-
sented at some length in her memo dated May 19th) and decided that one space for
each employee would be a more realistic assumption than one space for two
employees which is the requirement for the Radio and Television zoning district.
Staff is recommending the minimum requirement of 95 spaces as adequate for the
site and delete the overflow parking from the parking plan which would widen the
access aisles for the right-angle parking.
Ms. Knoblauch then reviewed the ten factors of consideration with the Planning
Commission and found no unusual situation regarding these factors. She also
reviewed the eight conditions which can be found in her memo.
Commissioner Prazak asked how the population of the building was calculated
determining parking. Ms. Knoblauch stated that staff looked at employment for
all shifts in a 24 hour day and also accounted for corporate vehicles other than
the proposed service fleet being stored on the site.
Chair McAleese questioned if a major fire broke out would there be adequate
access for the emergency vehi cl es. Ms. Knoblauch commented that the Fi re
Marshal has reviewed the site and the emergency vehicles can get to the back of
the building but maneuverability is tight. She also commented that U.S. West is
very concerned with safety because of all the equipment at the site.

Jerry Krieger, representative for U.S. West, reviewed a site plan showing the .

Commissioner Pentel noted that there was no handicapped accessibility to this
building. Ms. Knoblauch commented that doors are located on different levels
and some doors lead to stairs. Lloyd Becker, Director of Zoning and Community
Servi ces revi ewed the pl ans with Mark Grimes and Beth Knobl auch and commented
that the ADA requirements provide for some exceptions and this site would appear
to qualify for an exception.
Chair McAleese opened the informal publiC hearing; seeing and hearing no one he
closed the informal pUblic hearing.
MOVED by Kapsner, seconded by Lewis and motion carried unanimously to recommend
to the City Council approval for a conditional use permit requested by U.S. West
Communications to operate a truck/van terminal in an industrial zoning district
with the recommended 95 spaces for parking and subject to the conditions out-
lined in Ms. Knoblauch's memo to the Planning Commission dated May 19, 1993.
III. Informal Public Hearing - Amendment to Zoning Map
Applicant: Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
Southwest Corner of Golden Valley Road and Rhode Island
Avenue, Golden Valley Minnesota (Northeast three acres of
Area C, Valley Square Redevelopment District)
Amendment to Zoning map for Assisted Housing Site from
Commercial to M-1 (Multiple Family)
Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development commented to the Planning
Commission that his memo and attached zoning map sent to the Commission did not
reflect the recent amendment to the "Official Zoning Map" approved by the City
Coun ci 1 on May 11th. The correct zoni ng of Area Cis now a 11 Commerci a 1 .
Therefore, the proposed change is to amend the zoni ng map from Commerci alto
M-1 (Multiple-Family) for the assisted housing site. It is the policy of the
Ci ty to amend the zoni ng map if a proposed PUD (i n thi s case the assi sted
housing proposal) is not consistent with the underlying zoning.

INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING -- MINOR SUBDIVISION -- 4440 TYROL CREST,
DANIEL B. AHLBERG, MD, APPLICANT
.
The applicant owns three residential lots adjacent to the south 1-394 frontage
road (location map attached). One of those lots, bounded by the frontage road
on the north and Fai rl awn Way on the west, has been reduced by approximately
5,000 sq.ft. because of 1-394. While still over 13,000 sq.ft. in area, that
particular lot is now so narrow (approximately 70 feet at its widest point) that
it would be difficult, if not impossible, to fit a house onto it and still meet
all setback requirements. The other two lots are legally developable in their
present state. The applicant's request is to combine all three lots into one.
The application qualifies as a minor subdivision because all three lots are part
of an existing plat, the action requested will result in fewer than five lots
bei ng created, and no addi t i ona 1 pub 1 i c investment is necessary to serve the
proposed lot. Requi rements for approvi ng or denyi ng mi nor subdi vi si ons are
clearly spelled out in city code. Not all of the requirements are applicable in
this case. Of the requirements that are applicable, staff finds no grounds for
denial. To summarize the various requirements:
A. The proposed lot must meet current zoning standards which it does;
B. There must be no adverse effects on adjacent properties because of
steep slopes or excessive wetness, and no such effects have been
identified;
.
C. Sewer and water connections must be directly accessible by the
proposed lot, which in this case is already connected;
D. The applicant must provide such easements as are deemed necessary
for public purposes, and this will be done on the final plat;
E. Other public agencies having any form of jurisdiction over an area
including or directly affected by the proposed lot must be
included in the decision-making process -- there is some uncer-
tainty at this point as to whether MnDOT must review the plat, but
that would only be a formality, and staff will clear it up before
final plat approval;
F. If a review of title is required, then the applicant must resolve
any title issues raised by the city attorney, but no such review
is being required in this case;
G. Minor subdivisions of nonresidential property may face additional
requirements, but those are not applicable in this case;
(Memo to Planning Commission RE: Ahlberg Minor Subdivision)
H. Minor subdivisions creating additional residential lots are subject to
park dedi cat i on fees, but thi s request wi 11 reduce the number of lots
(Which does not, however, qualify the applicant for a refund);
I. Minor subdivisions for double bungalows are subject to additional
requirements but again, those are not applicable in this case.
Staff therefore recommends approval of the appli cant I s request to consol i date
three resi dent i allots into one, as shown on the attached II Pre 1 i mi nary Pl at of
Ahlberg's Addition".

Golden Valley Planning Commission
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO.3, PEM MILLWORK ADDITION,
P.U.D. NO. 44, 800 MENDELSSOHN AVENUE NORTH, ROY WIRTH (PARAGON
MOVING), APPLICANT
Roy Wi rth, presi dent of Paragon Movi ng, has requested a thi rd amendment to
P.U.D. No. 44 to allow his business to use a portion of the site at the 800
Mendelssohn Avenue building as a truck rental business. He currently operates
the Ryder Rental operati on at 9211 Plymouth Avenue along wi th hi s movi ng and
storage business. Mr. Wirth has been told that he cannot rent trucks and other
moving equipment at that location because it is not zoned correctly and there is
not adequate space. Mr. Wirth would like to now lease about a third of the PEM
building at 800 Mendelssohn Avenue for a combination of office, warehouse and
truck rental operation.
.
The PEM site went through two P.U.D. amendments in 1991. The most recent amend-
ment allows the front bui 1 di ng to be used for offi ce, manufacturi ng and ware-
housing as long as the amount of office space does not exceed 5,020 sq.ft. The
owner of the bui 1 di ng fe 1t that the amendment would allow more fl exi bi 1 i ty to
lease the building. The other amendment to P.U.D. 44 allowed the rear or east
building on the site, now owned by EMI, to be used for office manufacturing and
warehousing. This building is located on a separate lot and stands on its own
except for an easement access to Mendelssohn Avenue.
The request by Paragon to use thi s bui 1 di ng for a movi ng warehouse and offi ce
space fits with the P.U.D. However, his request to rent six 261 or 301 long
trucks require a P.U.D. amendment since truck rental is a retail type of use and
requires a certain amount of outside storage.
The attached site plan indicates that there is adequate storage for six rental
vans on the site along with four cab and trailer combinations used in the moving
operat ion. The rear area of the PEM buil di ng has adequate space to move the
vehicles around and get the moving vans backed to the loading dock. As long as
there are only six rental vans, there appears to be more than adequate room in
the rear.
.
I would like to correct one matter from the last P.U.D. amendment. The second
phase to the PEM building was built but not to the full extent allowed by the
P.U.D. permit. The second phase was planned to be 15,000 sq. ft. in area and it
was built to only 5,500 sq. ft. Therefore, the front building (800 Mendelssohn)
is about 20,900 sq.ft. in area rather than 30,000 sq.ft. Parking required is
now 52 spaces rather than 70 spaces if the building has 30,000 sq. ft. I am now
assuming that the front building will not be increased any further in size
because there is not adequate space for the parking with the outside storage of
trucks. If the owners woul d 1 i ke to expand the bui 1 di ng after Paragon 1 eaves
the building the P.U.D. would again have to be amended to indicate the proposed
size of the expansion and the parking areas.
(Memo to Planning Commission - PEM Millwork - Roy Wirth)
As stated above, the PEM building as built with about 20,900 sq.ft. of combined ~
office, manufacturing and warehouse space requires 52 parking spaces. There is
adequate space on the property to provide 52 spaces even with the truck storage
and parking east of the building.
Overall, the staff believes that the use of a small portion of this building and
parking area for the rental of up to six 26' to 3D' trucks or vans is a reason-
ab 1 e use of the property. There is adequate space on the lot for the rental
truck parking in addition to the parking of cars and tractor trailer for the
moving vans.
The other owners who are part of the P.U.D. have been notified of the proposed
amendment and agree to it.
Recommendation
The staff recommends an amendment to P.U.D. No. 44 that will allow up to six 26'
to 3D' trucks or vans to be parked on the site for rental purposes. Staff
suggests the following conditions on the amendment:
1. Other miscellaneous moving items such as boxes and dollies may also be
rented.
2. All signs must conform with the City's sign ordinance.
3. A new site plan must be submitted that indicates 52 parking spaces for the
front or west building. The site plan must be submitted prior to the pre-
liminary design plan review by the City Council.
4. The site is now limited to the buildings that exist on the site as of June,
1993. Future expansions of the 800 Mendelssohn building (west building)
that now houses Premier Restaurant Equipment would require another amend-
ment in order to indicate adequate parking on site. With the use of the
area east of the 800 Mendelssohn building used for truck and van parking by
Paragon Moving, additional expansion of the 800 Mendelssohn building is not
possible.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLAN FOR AMENDMENT NO.2, PEM MILLWORK ADDITION,
P.U.D. NO. 44, 800 MENDELSSOHN AVENUE NORTH, PAUL HOOVER, APPLICANT
Paul Hoover, owner of the Pem Millwork at 800 Mendelssohn Avenue, has requested
an amendment to P.U.D. No. 44 that will permit his building at 800 Mendelssohn
Avenue No. to be used for offi ce, warehouse and manufacturi ng uses instead of
only office and warehouse uses. As you will recall, the Pl anning Commi ssion
recently recommended a first amendment to P.U.D. No. 44 that was approved by the
City Council on March 19, 1991. This amendment permits the rear or east
building at 850 Mendelssohn Ave. No. to be used for a combination of office,
warehouse and manufacturing. The original P.U.D. No. 44 permitted only office
and manufacturing in the rear building.
The permit for the first amendment to P.U.D. No. 44 covers both the front and
rear building at 800-850 Mendelssohn Ave. No. In this permit, as in the origi-.
nal P.U.D. permit approved by the City Council in 1984, the PEM Millwork
building that was built in two phases was to be used for office and warehouse
space. This front or west building has a total of 5,020 sq. ft. of office space
and 25,520 sq. ft. of warehouse space. The required parking for this space is 20
cars for the office space (1 space for 250 sq. ft. of office space) and 51 spaces
for the warehouse space (1 space for 500 sq. ft. of warehouse space). Total
parking for the PEM building is 71 spaces or the exact amount required by the
Zoning Code.
The request by Mr. Hoover to use the front building for office, warehouse and
manufacturi ng uses is reasonable so long as the amount of offi ce space is
limited to 5,020 sq. ft. If the office space is increased in the west building,
the City I s normal requi rements woul d not be met. The st aff has revi ewed the
request to permit manufacturing in the front building. This request is reason-
able because this is an industrial area where the underlying zoning and compre-
hensive plan designations are industrial. In addition, the parking requirement
for warehouse and manufacturing is the same so no additional parking will be
needed.
Also, allowing the PEM building to be used for manufacturing is consistent with
the use of the rear or east building. I am enclosing a copy of my memo to the
Planning Commission dated February 6, 1991 that outlines use of that building by
Electro-Mechanical Industries.
At this time, Mr. Hoover does not have plans to manufacture in the building. He.
does want this flexibility when it comes to marketing the building at some
future date.

Recommendation
The staff recommends approval of the prel iminary design pl an for the second
amendment to P.U.D. No. 44 that would permit 25,520 sq. ft. of the PEM building
at 800 Mendel ssohn Avenue to be used for either warehousing or manufacturing.
The other 5,020 sq. ft. of the building will remain office. The amendment is
consistent with other uses in the area and does not increase the need for
parking on the site.
The staff will simply amend the text of the P.U.D. permit to indicate the uses
allowed in the 800 Mendelssohn Avenue North building.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLAN FOR AMENDMENT TO PEM MILLWORK PUD #44
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL INDUSTRIES, INC., APPLICANT
BACKGROUND
In August, 1984, the City Council gave approval to the Permit for PUD #44, Pem
Millwork, in order that two office warehouse buildings could be constructed on
three acres at 800 Mendelssohn Ave. No. A PUD was necessary because the devel-
oper, Pem Millwork, wanted to build two buildings on the three acre parcel.
Only the front building on the west lot has frontage on Mendelssohn. The east
or rear lot where the smaller second building is located does not have street
frontage. The building on that lot has access from a driveway easement over the
south part of the west lot.
The two buildings were built in three phases starting in 1984. The west build- .
ing was built in the first two phases. This building is 30,500 sq. ft. in area
with about 6,000 sq. ft. of office space and 24,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space.
It is used by Pem. The second building or west building was built later and is
15,950 sq. ft. in area and has 4,250 sq. ft. of office space and 11,200 sq. ft. of
warehouse space. The PUD Permit states that this building will be used as an
office/warehouse building with no more than 30% office space.
EfgUEST FOR AMENDMENT
The applicant, Electro-Mechanical Industries (EMI) has requested that the PUD
Permit be amended in order that the firm may purchase and occupy the east build-
ing. This building is designated in the PUD Permit for office/warehouse space.
The company, which is currently located on Medicine Lake Road in Golden Valley,
would use the building for office space, warehouse and manufacturing. The firm
manufactures electrical distribution equipment and employs 21 full-time people.
The company utilizes shears, punching and bending machines in their day-to-day
operations (see attached letters and company flyer). EMI would use the building
as follows: 4,750 sq.ft. for office and 11,200 sq.ft. for warehouse and manu-
facturing.
One concern in the changing use of the east building is in regardS to the park-
ing for EMI. PUD #44 designates 41 spaces for the east building. The 41 spaces
is based on 4,750 sq. ft. of office space and 11,200 sq. ft. of warehouse space.
The proposed use of the building by EMI requires that same amount of parking
between the number of spaces required in the Zoning Code for manufacturing is .
the same as for warehouse (1 space for every 500 sq.ft.).
.
.
.
Access to the EMI building would remain the same with an easement over the south
part of the west lot for a driveway. The driveway access allows for adequate
truck and utility access. The Company has one or two small company vehicles.
The use of a portion of the east building for manufacturing is compatible with
the area. The property was previously zoned Industrial prior to 1984 when PUD
#44 was approved. The properties to the north, east and southwest are al so
zoned Industrial. The Westview Business Center office warehouse development is
also a PUD and is adjacent to the site to the southeast. This property was also
previously zoned Industrial. The manufacturing use proposed by EMI is permitted
in the Industrial Zoning District.
As stated before, EMI is already located in Golden Valley. The City has not
received complaints regarding its manufacturing operation at 7103 Medicine Lake
Road.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends an amendment to PUD #44 be approved that would permit the
use of the 1 ast building for up to 4,750 sq. ft. of office space and 11,200
sq. ft. of either warehouse or manufacturing space. The use of the east building
by EMI is compatible with other uses permitted in PUD #44.
In order to allow this use, the staff is recommending that the PUD Permit be
simply amended to state that the east building may be used for either 11,200
sq. ft. of warehouse and/or manufacturing.
