MINUTES OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY
PLANNING COMMISSION
. June 11 , 1990
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Va11ey City
Hall , Council Chamber, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. The
meeting was called to order by Chair Prazak at 7:05P.M.
Those present were: Leppik, Lewis, Kapsner, McAleese (arrived at 7:15P.M.) ,
McCracken-Hunt, Prazak and Russell . Also present were: Mark Grimes, Director of
Planning and Development; Beth Knoblauch, City Planner and Mary Dold, Secretary.
I. A�proval of Minutes - May 14, 1990
MOVED by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt, seconded by Lewis and carried unanimously
to approve the miunutes of the regular May 14, 1990 Planning Commission Meeting.
II. Presentation of I-394 Corridor Planning Information
Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development stated that the City Council
would like to see something from the Planning Commissioners regarding the I-394
Corridor. There is an economic slow down on developing right now and this would
be a good time to review the I-394 corridor information.
Mr. Grimes reviewed with the Planning Commissioners the handout, prepared by
staff, on the "I-394 Corridor".
• Beth Knoblauch presented aerial maps showing the layout of the I-394 corridor.
There was some discussion regarding the residential areas and what part they
would have in the rezoning of this corridor. Comments were made not to make
hasty conclusions regarding the residential areas until after I-394 has been
completed.
It was suggested that the I-394 corridor have its own zoning district, exempting
the residential areas and study residential areas three to four years after
district is rezoned.
Mark Grimes suggested that the Planning Commissioners redefine the I-394 corri-
dor zoning district and have a meeting with the City Council .
III. Reports on Meetings of the City Council and Board of Zoning Appeals
Chair Prazak gave a brief summary of the City Council meetings he attended.
IV. Other Business
Mark Grimes reported to the Commissioners that MnDot does not have landscaping
plans for the area around Hwy. 12 and 100. They will be happy to come and talk
with the Commission once they have plans. MnDot wants to have a neighborhood
advisory committee for the landscaping plans.

MEMORANDUM
�
DATE: August 8, 1990
T0: Golden VaTley Planning Commission
FROM: Elizabeth A. Knoblauch, City Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO OPERATE A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY IN
TNE 8l1SINESS AND PRQFESSIONAL OFFICE ZONING DISTRICT
On-Belay, Inc. has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to operate a
residential facility at 6100 Golden Valley Road. The facility is to be called
the Anthony Louis Treatment Center, and will be a consolidation of two existing
facilities in Blaine and Plymouth. Anthony Louis Centers originated in Chicago,
Illinois, and are designed to rehabilitate chemically dependent teenagers.
The zoning. on the site is Business and Professional Offices (BP&0). The City
Code provision being invoked by the applicants is 11.45, Subd. 8(b)(7), which
states that conditional uses in the BP&0 district may include:
• "Other uses which, in the opinion of the Council , are compatible with
the uses specifically described above."
The main issue for the Planning Commission and the City Council to consider is
whether the proposed use is an acceptable conditional use in the BP&0 zoning
district based on the terms of that provision.
The facility is proposed for a capacity of 34 residents, 16 girls and 18 boys in
dormitory-style quarters. Although their programmed activities are fairly
extensive, residents do have some freedom during the day. Each dormitory is
locked at night. Average length of stay is said to be 39 days. Typical resi-
dents are from suburban backgrounds, have no police records, have poor academic
records, and come from homes where communication is poor. Staff at the facility
will include such varied professionals as a program director, certified chemical
dependency counselors, counseling assistants, nurses, a family therapist, and a
psychologist. The facility is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human
Services.
The site consists of an existing, one-story office building which would undergo
extensive remodeling in order to meet the facility's needs. The Hidden Village
Townhouse development surrounds the site on the North and East sides. To the
West is a railroad line, on top of a very steep gradient. South across Golden
Valley Road, the use is industrial .
The comprehensive land use plan designation of the site is for multiple dwelling
• units. Staff advised the applicants that an application for a rezoning in con-
formance with the comprehensive plan would be the preferred alternative, accom-
panied by an application for a conditional use permit to operate a residential
facility in the Multiple Dwelling Zoning district. The applicants perceive
� i
PAGE 2
• faciiity size limitations to be a problem, as weli as pubiic resistanee to
rezoning, and so have chosen not to follow this course of action. Nonconformi-
ties are another obstacle to rezoning, but would also present a problem in the
proposal as submitted.
There are several existing site nonconformities. The major nonconformities lie
on the west and include a violation of required structural setback, a driveway
that lies partially on the site and partially in the adjacent railroad right-
of-way, and a rear access between the site and the adjacent Hidden Uillage
development. The legal status of the driveway and the rear access is unclear at
this time. There are nonconforming landscape setbacks on the north and east.
The BP&0 zoning district has only one parking standard, regardless of type of
, use. This standard has been reduced since the existing parking lot was created
several years ago. Staff calculates that it would be possible to provide the
currently required 39 parking spaces and also eliminate the nonconforming east
and north setbacks. The applicants, however, would prefer not to do this,
because they feel that the creation of a usable "back yard" area is important
to the occupancy of the site by a residential facility. The proposal thus re-
moves the existing parking immediately to the north of the building to create a
green area, but leaves the nonconforming setbacks. An aTternate proposal would
reduce the parking below minimum code requirements, increase green area even
more, and mask the nonconforming northerly setback.
The City Attorney has advised that the setback issues be referred to the City's
Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). For one thing, the application appears to
• constitute enough of a change in circumstances so that any existing variances
must be reconsidered in light of the new conditions. Also, there is no record
of a variance ever being granted for the east side of the property. Through the
CUP, the City could allow the applicants to reduce parking below the minimum
requirement, on condition that the parking must be increased again if any
on-site parking problems develop. This would not require a variance, but the
underlying setback nonconformity would still need a variance as proof that the _
full parking could be provided on demand.
The green space vs. setback confl ict i s a matter for the BZA to resol ve. It
does, however, raise some questions as to whether the site is adequate to pro-
vide for the needs of a residential use. Continuing office use would not
require a back yard for residential activities.
The question is not whether the proposal fits into this particular location, or
whether it is necessarily similar to other BP&0 uses, but rather whether it is
com atible with them. The 1987 Random House Dictionary of the English Language
defines compatible" as meaning:
"Capable of existing or living together in harmony"; or "able to exist
together with something else."
Other specifically described conditional uses in the BP&0 district include
recreational facilities, school/training/activity centers for retarded or hand-
icapped people, and child care facilities, as well as basic office-type uses.
• Because there are similarities, the Planning Commission may determine that the
proposed residential facility is compatible, and may recommend in favor of the
application. On the other hand, with limited exceptions in the Institutional
PAGE 3
district, there is no zoning district in Go]den Valley where ] iving quarters and
• nonresidential uses are permitted together in a single district. The Planning
Commission, therefore, may want to recommend that as a matter of long-standing
policy such combinations are not compatible. In this case, precise reasons
should be given for � the proposed use is not compatible with the other speci-
fically described uses.
The Planning Commission may also wish to consider whether the size of the pro-
posed facility is acceptable in the BP&0 district - i.e. , whether size affects
compatibility. Residential facilities for up to 25 clients are acceptable con-
ditional uses in the Multiple Dwelling zoning district. Residential facilities
of any size are acceptable conditional uses only in the I-3 Institutional zoning
distric�.
If it is determined that a residential facility is a compatible conditional use
in the BP&0 zoning district, there must still be a consideration of the ten
findings set out in City Code for approving any conditional use. The findings
in this case appear to be as follows:
1. Demonstrated Need. Standard procedure in Golden Valley has been that a
need is demonstrated for a conditional use if a market has been identi-
fied and public demand exists. The proposed use would be replacing two
existing facilities which have both been well used. It can probably be
safely assumed that the same level of demand would exist for the con-
solidated facility as for the separate ones.
• 2• Consistenc with the Com rehensive Plan. The use, if limited to 25 or
fewer c ients, is consistent with what would be permitted under the
multiple unit dwelling designation applied to the proposed site in the
Comprehensive Plan. However, current zoning of the site is not consis-
tent, and the proposed maximum number of residents is 34. —
3. Effect Upon Property Values. As far as can be determined by staff, the
exist�ng Anthony Louis facilities are well managed and have not created
any neighborhood problems because of the type of clients being served.
Several studies of property values adjacent to residential facilities
have failed to show any long term adverse impact as long as the facil-
ities are properly regulated. However, the fear of potentially
decreasing home values always is an issue when residential property is
involved.
4. Effect of an Antici ated Traffic Generation. It is expected that the
proposed faci ity wou d generate ess traffic, particularly during
congested peak travel times, than would be generated if the office use
remained and the building were fully leased. No adverse impact is
anticipated.
5. Effect of Increases in Po ulation and Densit . The presence of a
24- our occupancy popu ation is not expected to have a major impact on
surrounding uses. Traffic and night time disturbances are the most
common impacts of population on surrounding uses, and both of those
• factors will be regulated by the night-time lock-up of the facility.
6. Increase in Noise Levels. No significant impact is anticipated.
. • �
PAGE 4
• 7. Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or Vibration. No significant impact is anti-
cipated.
8. Flies, Rats, or other Animals or Vermin. No significant impact is
anticipated.
9. Visual A earance. The exterior structural appearance is not expected
to change signi icantly. The proposed back yard would increase the
amount of greenery behind the building, which usually leads to improved
appearance, but most of the involved area is not highly visible. No
major impact is anticipated.
10. Other Effects. No other significant effects upon the general public
eaFi�'t , —sa�'ety, or welfare of the City and its residents are anti-
cipated as long as the facility is state regulated and well managed.
In summary, if residential facilities are determined to be compatible condi-
tional uses in the BP&0 zoning district, there do not appear to be any
compelling findings to preclude locating a residential facility at the proposed
site.
This is a difficult issue to resolve. It deals with a segment of the population;
that is not favorably perceived by most householders. It also deals with a type
of use that state and federal laws have taken specific steps to protect, though
not specifically in nonresidential zoning districts. The City Code provision
• being invoked puts a heavy load on the Council in determining the extent and
nature of "compatibility". Finally, there are ramifications that extend beyond
this particular application, since the approval for a residential facility as a
compatible conditional use in the BP&0 district would make it potentially com-
patible at any location so zoned. From a purely planning perspective, there is
no single correct answer.
One common sense approach would be to recommend approval of the CUP, but with a
capacity of 25 clients. This would acknowledge that a similarity between uses
often translates to compatibility, and that office uses can exist harmoniously
with residential uses. At the same time, it acknowledges that there is a dif-
ference between a large scale institutional setting and a facility that is more
residential in nature. City Code requires institutional uses to be located in
an Institutional zoning district, and the delineation between a residential
character and an institutional character is made at 25 clients. A limitation
to 25 or fewer clients would also fulfill the intent of the comprehensive
plan, which is to reserve the site in question for uses of a multiple dwelling,
residential nature.
Whatever the decision on this particular application, staff would suggest that
the Planning Commission forward a separate recommendation to the City Council ,
amending the Zoning Code to clarify or eliminate the provision invoked by the
applicants.

• Re: Application for Conditional Use Permit
Anthony Louis Center
6100 Golden Valley Road
Dear Planning Commission and City Council Members:
This letter is to provide the Planning Commission and City Council
with additional information and background regarding the applicant and
the proposal for 6100 Golden Valley Road; and to discuss the request
for a conditional use permit in light of the City's zoning ordinance
requirements for the issuance of a permit.
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. On-Belav, Inc. :
The applicant is On-Belay, Inc. On-Belay is a private company in the
business of providing primary treatment and extended care for
chemically dependent adolescents and adults . On-Belay has been in
business since 1976, and has operated facilities for chemically
dependent adolescents in the twin cities area since 1976. A history
of the On-Belay group of companies which provides additional
background information is attached as Exhibit A to this letter for
your information.

On-Belay operates three facilities for chemically dependent
adolescents in the twin cities area. They are:
1. Anthony Louis Center, a 15-bed primary residential treatment
center for chemically dependent adolescents ages 12 to 18, located
since 1980 at 115 Forest View Lane North, Plymouth, Minnesota.
2 . Anthony Louis Center North, a 22-bed primary residential treatment
center for chemically dependent adolescents ages 12 to 17, located
since 1982 at 1000 Pau1 Parkway, Blaine, Minnesota.
3 . On-Belay House, a ZO-bed extended care facility ( "half-way house")
for chemically dependent adolescents ages 12 to 18, located since
1982 at 1502 Archwood Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota.
On-Belay also operates two 50-bed primary residential treatment
centers for chemically dependent adolescents, one each in the cities
• of Columbus, Ohio and Henryville, Pennsylvania; and an adolescent and
adult out-patient assessment, referral, and after care facility in
Ridgewood, New Jersey. The attached history includes additional
information on these facilities.
On-Belay has 14 years of corporate experience owning and operating
residential treatment facilities for chemically dependent adolescents.
The owners of the company, and most of the management team, have
experience that goes back even further. A summary of the experience
and gualifications of the management group is attached as Exhibit B to
this letter for your information.
B. Anthony Louis Center:
Anthony Louis Center (the Center) will be a 34-bed residential
treatment center for chemically dependent adolescents ages 12 to 18 .
The Center will replace the existing Anthony Louis Center in Plymouth
and Anthony Louis Center North in Blaine. To control costs and
increase efficiency, On-Belay needs to consolidate the existing
centers into a single facility located as close as possible to the On-
Belay administrative offices in St. Louis Park.
The Center will have a maximum of 34 residents at any one time. The
Center will have approximately 27 employees, with a maximum of ten on
the site at any one time. There will be a minimum of two adult
employees at the Center 24 hours a day. Although the Center will be
. occupied 24 hours a day, the hours of active use will be from

Center.
During the past 14 years On-Belay and Anthony Louis Center have had
considerable contact with a variety of governmental agencies, schaol
districts, and private medical facilities . Letters from organizations
such as these discussing their experiences with On-Belay and Anthony
Louis Center are attached as Exhibit G to this letter for the Planning
• Commission and City Council's information.
The attachments to this letter are submitted to provide the Planning
Commission and City Council with as much information as possible about
On-Belay and Anthony Louis Center. If additional information is
required or desired by the Planning Commission or City Council, we
will endeavor to provide it as quickly as possible. In addition, the
owners and management team from On-Belay will attend the Planning
Commission and City Council meetings to answer any questions which you
may have.
C. The Pro�l:
The proposal, as outlined in our letter submitted with the application
for a conditional use permit, is to convert the existing underutilized
office building at 6100 Golden Valley Road into a primary residential
treatment center for chemically dependent adolescents ages 12 to 18.
Implementation of this proposal will include substantial renovation
and improvement of the building and the property at 6100 Golden Valley
Road (the Property) .
Interior improvements will include virtual gutting of all existing
interior partition walls and improvements and replacement with up-to-
date building and decorating materials. The east wing of the existing
building will be converted into dormitory style rooms, bathroom
facilities, and a cafeteria. The north-south wing of the existing
� building will be converted into office and meeting space, including a

large meeting room. The interior improvements are illustrated on the
floor plan submitted with the application for a special use permit.
Renovation of the existing building will include the installation of a
complete sprinkler system, and all other improvements necessary to
bring the building into full compliance with existing building codes .
These improvements will all occur within the existing walls of the
building. There will be no expansion of the building.
Exterior improvements will include improvements to the front of the
building to improve its appearance from Golden Valley Road, as well as
repainting and such other repair as is necessary to the exterior of
the building. Improvements to the remainder of the property will
include improved landscaping throughout the site, particularly in the
front of the building and in the parking area, and conversion of
approximately 40 percent of the existing paved parking area to
landscaped green space. The exterior improvements are illustrated on
• the site plan submitted with the application for a conditional use
permit.
The overall impact of the proposal on the property will be to convert
this somewhat derelict, underutilized office building into a
revitalized property which complies with current building codes and
has substantially increased landscaping and green space. The
architect for the Project will attend the Planning Commission and City
Council meetings to answer any questions which you may have abaut the �
improvements to the Property.
D. The Re uest:
The request is for a conditional use permit to allow Anthony Louis
Center in the Business and Professional Offices (B&PO) zoning
district. The property has been zoned B&PO since 1969 . Pursuant to
Section 11.45, subd. 8 .B.7 . of the Zoning Ordinance, conditional uses
allowed in the B&PO district include:
"Other uses which, in the opinion of the
Council, are compatible with the uses
described above. "
Pursuant to this section, if Anthony Louis Center is compatible with
the other conditional uses allowed in the B&PO district, it is also
allowed as a conditional use within the district.
•
LAI3KIN, HOFFMAN, DALY �C LINDGI3EN, LTD.

City of Golden Vall.ey

City planning staff has advised that an alternative way to proceed
would b� to apply �or a rezoning of the Property from the B&PO
district to the Multiple Dwelling zoning district, and request a
conditional use permit for a residential facility serving up to 25
persons . However, we have elected not to pursue a rezoning of the
Property to the Multiple Dwelling district, for a number of reasons,
including:
1. If the property were rezoned to the Multiple Dwelling district
only a 25-bed facility would be allowed. This would not be
feasible, for two reasons:
(a) Due to the size of the existing building a 25-bed facility
would be inefficient -- a waste of the space available in
this existing building.
(b) The need which On-Belay has is to consolidate two existing
• facilities which total 37 beds ( 15 and 22) . The facility
proposed is 34 beds . The increased efficiency of operating
the program out of a single facility will offset the loss of
three beds. However, to lose nine additional beds, and to
underutilize the existing building on the Property, would not
be economically feasible.
2 . Issuance of a conditional use permit seems to be the most straight
forward way for the Planning Commission and City Council to
address the appropriateness of this location for Anthony Louis
Center. Rezoning is simply unnecessary.
3 . In preliminary discussions with representatives of the townhome
development on the north and east sides of the Property, some
concern was expressed about rezoning the Property. Whether these
concerns are well founded or not, we committed to these people to
look for an alternative approach, and have settled on the request
for a conditional use permit within the existing zoning of the
Property.
The zoning ordinance allows, as a conditional use in the B&PO
district, any use which is compatible with the other uses allowed in
the district. If Anthony Louis Center meets this requirement,
issuance of a conditional use permit is appropriate notwithstanding
the fact that there might be an alternative approach to receiving the
necessary approvals.

II . COMPLIANCE WITH ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. t' ',l,�,x•
.
Section 11.45, subd. 8 .B.7 . allows as a conditional use in the B&PO
district, "Other uses which, in the opinion of the council, are
�om�atible with the uses specifically described above. " (Emphasis
added. ) The uses specifically described above are as follows:
1 . Buildings and structures exceeding three stories in height.
2 . Recreational facilities such as ball fields, swimming pools, and
playgrounds .
3 . Daytime activity centers and/or other facilities providing school
and/or training for retarded or handicapped people.
• 4 . Financial institutions, including drive-in facilities.
5 . Limited retail services within a professional office building.
6 . Heliports .
"Compatible" is defined by Webster's Third New International
Dictionary, unabridged edition, as:
"capable of existing together without
discord or disharmony. '�
"Compatible with" does not mean "similar to. " The proposed facility
does not need to be similar to the uses listed above to be permitted
in the B&PO district, it only needs to be capable of existing together
with those uses without discord or disharmony.
Anthony Louis Center is a multiple family type use. Residential
facilities are specifically allowed by the zoning ordinance in the
Multiple Dwelling district. Professional office uses and multiple
family uses frequently occur in close proximately to each other. In
fact, in recent years there have been many mixed use
residential/office projects, because these two uses are so compatible.
Examples include Edinborough and Centennial Lakes in the City of
Edina, City West in the City of Eden Prairie, Opus in the City of
Minnetonka, and many others.

Most comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances recognize the
compatibility of office and high density uses . Office zoning and
office uses are frequently used adjacent to multiple family
residential housing to screen the residential use from higher
intensity commercial uses . Conversely, multiple family residential
uses are frequently located adjacent to office buildings and uses to
screen and buffer those uses from single family uses.
Although Anthony Louis Center will introduce 24 hour habitation in the
B&PO zoning district, this by no means will create discord or
disharmany within the district. The allowable uses in the B&PO
district are daytime and evening uses: office buildings, banks,
retail within an office building, recreational facilities, and daytime
activity centers are all daytime and evening uses. The B&PO district
does not encourage or permit uses which would adversely impact a 24-
hour-a-day residential facility. This is precisely why office and
multiple family uses occur so often immediately adjacent to each
• other.
Nor will Anthony Louis Center have any adverse impact on other uses in
the B&PO district. Lights go out at the Anthony Louis Center at 10:15
p.m. in the winter and 10:45 p.m. in the summer. This is about the
time that any evening activity in an office building or at a
recreational facility would be wrapping up. The treatment facility,
as well as the other allowable uses in the B&PO district, would be
dark over the nighttime hours.
Anthony Louis Center is a multi-family type use. As such, it is
entirely compatible with Business and Professional Offices and the
other uses allowed in the B&PO zone.
The requirement of the zoning ordinance is that the use be compatible
with other uses allowed in the B&PO district. Clearly it is .
However, there is no B&PO zoned land within nearly a mile of the
Property. We recognize that the City Council's primary concern is not
going to be the hypothetical compatibility of Anthony Louis Center
with B&PO uses which will not occur anywhere near the Property. The
Council's primary concern will be compatibility of Anthony Louis
Center with existing uses on surrounding properties .� These uses
include several industrial uses south across Golden Va11ey Road, and
multiple family uses to the west, north, and east.
With respect to the industrial uses across Golden Valley Road, there
• is no potential for discord or disharmony. These industrial uses have
LAI�KIN, HOFFMAN, DALY c�C LINDGI3EN, LTD.
•

Paae 8
existed directly across Golden Valley Road from multiple family uses
for many years . Anthony Louis Center will generate very little
traffic . Daytime traffic will be limited to employees coming to and
from the Center. Traffic will "peak" on the few days a week that
there are evening meetings . This will occur long after truck traffic
and employee travel to and from the industrial users is finished for
the day. Anthony Louis Center will certainly be compatible with the
industrial uses to the south of the Property.
The most important concern of everyone, the Planning Commission, the
City Council, the surrounding residents and On-Belay, is the
compatibility of Anthony Louis Center with the existing multiple
�amily dwellings to the west, north, and east. The apartment building
to the west is several hundred feet from the Property, separated from
the Property by a railroad right-of-way, and screened from the
Property by a rail track that is raised some ten to 14 feet. There
will, therefore, be no impacts on properties to the west.
• The Hidden Village Townhome Development is in a different situation.
A number of the townhomes will be separated from Anthony Louis Center
only by a property line, two existing retaining walls, landscaping,
and the parking and driving areas which serve the townhomes. The
compatibility of Anthony Louis Center with the Hidden Village Townhome
Development is a legitimate concern of everyone's, and one which we
are happy to address .
Tn one sense, the zoning ardinance itself answers this question of
compatibility because it specifically allows residential facilities in
the residential districts of the City, including areas like Hidden
Village Townhomes . However, the more important question is the
compatibility of this specific facility with its neighbors . The best
evidence on this issue, we believe, is to look at ten years of
experience with Anthony Louis Center in Plymouth and eight years
experience with Anthony Louis Center North in Blaine.
Anthony Louis Center North is a 22-bed treatment facility identical to
the Anthony Louis Center proposed for 6100 Golden Valley Road.
Anthony Louis Center North is located in a former office building
surrounding on two sides by quadraminium homes . On one side there is
nothing but an approximately 30-foot yard separating the Center from
the nearest home. On the other side, the parking area for the Center
and a narrow landscaped strip, totally approximately 60 feet in width,
separate the Center from the nearest home.

Anthony Louis Center North has existed in this location and in this
proximity to these quadraminium homes for eight years with no
problems . Over this period of time Anthony Louis Center has proven to
be a good neighbor which has operated in immediate proximity to
residential uses very similar to the Hidden Village Townhomes without
any discord or disharmony. Attached to this letter as Exhibit H are a
number of letters from the police department and residents in Blaine
which confirm this .
The Anthony Louis Center in Plymouth is also located in close
proximity to residential uses, in this case single-family residential.
There have also been no problems over the years at this location.
The history of the existing Anthony Louis Centers which have operated
for eight and ten years respectively in areas virtually identical to
the Golden Valley Road site demonstrates the compatibility of the use
with surrounding residential uses .
tB. �tandards for the IssLance of a Conditional Use Permit:
Section 11. 80, subd. 2 .G. of the zoning ordinance sets forth ten
factors which the Planning Commission is to consider in making
recommendations on applications for a conditional use permit. These
ten factors are the standards in the City of Golden Valley for the
issuance of a conditional use permit. If these standards are met,
issuance of the conditional use permit is appropriate.
Each of the ten factors is set forth below with a brief discussion as
to how Anthony Louis Center meets the standard for the issuance of a
conditional use permit.
1. Demonstrated Need for the Pro�osed Use.
As discussed in the history of the On-Belay group of companies
attached as Exhibit A to this letter, Anthony Louis Center was
founded as On-Belay's reaction to a need in the twin cities area
for a specialized adolescent primary treatment facility. Over the
years, as alcohol and drug abuse by adolescents has increased, the
need for facilities such as Anthony Louis Center has increased.
Affected adolescents come from all economic and social strata.
Although Anthony Louis Center will accept patients from throughout
the metropolitan area, and beyond, it will be meeting a need which
exists in Golden Valley as well as throughout society at large.

2 . c'�nsistenc� With the Com�rehensive Plan of the Cit�.
The Property is designated High Density Residential by the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The zoning ordinance specifically allows
residential facilities in high density residential areas .
Although the zoning of the property, which has been in place since
1969 , is not consistent with the High Density designation in the
Comprehensive Plan; Anthony Louis Center, a residential facility,
is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation.
3 , F.ffPrt U�on Pro�erty Values in the Neighboring Area.
The renovation, upgrading, and improvement of this Property cannot
help but support property values in the neighboring area. Reduced
blacktop, increased green space and landscaping, and complete
renovation and updating of the building to current building codes
will increase the value of the property, which in turn will help
support surrounding property values .
• The fact that the use of the Property will be for Anthony Louis
Center will not have any adverse effect on property values . The
best evidence of this, once again, is the experience in Plymouth
and Blaine, where facilities identical to the proposal here have
existed for nearly a decade with no negative effect upon property
values in the neighboring area.
4 . Effect of any Antici�ated Traffic Generation U�on the Current
Traffic Flow and Congestion in the Area.
Anthony Louis Center will generate very little traffic, far less
than the existing building would generate if it were fully
occupied and probably less than it has generated in its recent
years of partial occupancy. In addition, traffic to and from
Anthony Louis Center will "peak" in the early evening hours on
those nights when evening meetings are held. This will be long
after peak rush hours on Golden Valley Road. Conversion of the
existing office building to Anthony Louis Center will reduce
traffic generation from the Property and reduce congestion in the
area.
5 . Effect of an� Increase in Po�ulation and Density U�on Surround�nQ
Land Uses .
• Conversion of this existing office building to residential uses
will reduce traffic and parking needs and result in increased
• • i

•
City of Golden Valley
August 3, 1990
Page 11
green space between the facility and the residential property to
the north. Daytime occupancy of the building will increase over
present levels, but will be lower than that possible if the
building were fully occupied for office uses . Twenty-four-hour-a-
day habitation will be new for the Property, but is certainly
consistent with surrounding land uses.
Once again, the best evidence of potential effects on surrounding
land uses is to look at the experience in Blaine. In Blaine the
conversion of an office building immediately proximate to multiple
family residential uses had no negative effect on those
surrounding land uses. The experience in Plymouth has been the
same. There is no reason to expect anything different in this
location.
6 . Increase in Noise Levels to be Caused by the Proposed Use.
To the extent that there is less traffic coming to and from the
• Property, there will be a reduction in noise levels . The only
noise will be the voices of the resident children as they play and
visit in the newly created yard and green space.
7 . An� Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or Vibration to be Caused by the
Pro�osed Use.
None.
8 . Any Increase in Flies, Rats, or Other Animals or Vermin in the
Area to be Caused b� the Pro�osed Use.
The Center will have kitchen facilities . However, these
facilities will be new state of the art facilities regulated by
the Department of Health. Kitchen practices and waste disposal
will be managed so that there will be no adverse impacts on the
surrounding area caused by animals or pests.
9 . Visual A��earance of an� Pro�osed Structure or Use.
No new structure is proposed. The existing building will be
renovated and repaired, and some improvements will be made to the
entrance to improve its appearance from Golden Valley Road. To
the north of the building approximately 10,000 feet of existing
blacktop area will be converted to green space. Landscaping in
• this area and throughout the site will be extensive. The visual
� � � .

�
City af Golden Valley

Page 12
appearance of the building and the Property as a whole will
improve substantially over the existing condition.
10 . Any Other Effect Upon the General Public Health, a ety� and
I�L�lfare of the City and its Residents.
The renovation and remodeling of this building and the other site
improvements on the Property will have a positive impact on the
Property, the surrounding area, and the City. The experience in
� the Cities of Plymouth and Blaine is that Anthony Louis Center is
a good neighbor which will have no adverse impacts upon the
general public health, safety, or welfare of the City, its
residents, or surrounding neighbors .
III . CONCLUSION
The proposal to relocate Anthony Louis Center to the existing building
at 6100 Golden Valley Road fully complies with the requirements of the
. Golden Valley zoning ordinance for the issuance of a conditional use
permit. This is a use which has been demonstrated, by nearly 10 years
experience, to be fully compatible with surrounding residential uses;
and is likewise compatible with uses allowed in the Business and
Professional Offices zoning district. On-Belay requests that a
conditional use permit be issued.
This letter and the attached materials have been provided so that the �
City can have as much information as possible available to it in
considering this application. If additional information is required
or desired by the Planning Commission or the City Council, On-Belay
will endeavor to provide it as quickly as possible. We also encourage
the City to have its staff investigate, on the City's behalf, the
experience of the Cities of Plymouth and Blaine with the existing
Anthony Louis Center and Anthony Louis Center North. We are confident
that this investigation will reveal to the City that this is an
appropriate use for the Property.

HISTORY OF THE ON-BELAY VROUP OF COMPANIES
• ,
On-Belay of Minnesota, Inc. is part of an affiliated group
of companies. The principals in On-Belay of Minnesota, It�c.
are the same as those of On-Bela�� of Pennsylvania, Inc. � The
Furman Clinic, Inc. , On-Belay, Znc. , On-$elay Management Co.
Inc. , and Minnelanco. The forerunner and model for th� qroup
is On-Helay of Minne�ota, Inc. �n-Belay of Minnesota, Inc.
wae founded October 7, 1976 ne On-Belay Inc. fnr the purgose
of developinq a network of Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Treat-
ment Centers. Its shareholders, directors, officers and
corporate predeceseors have been involved in the industry
for the last fourteen years. The founders of the Company
ogened tt�eir. first Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Center in 19�6 with two other individuals who had an interest
in chemi.cal aeo�ndency �xe��.mpnt an� ir =�r�; �,��?� ���th th°-----
chemically dependent adolescent. Theae five individuals were
,7on D. Benson, an active adolescEnt chemical dependency coun-
selor with five years prior �xperienc►:; Aon And�rson, an
adolescent drug and alcohol caunse2or with 'Wayzata School
Diatrictj William Kasky, a Guidance Counselar �at Wayzata Iiigh
Schoolj Dick Cargi.11, the Executive Director oP Pharm Houae
Treatmen� C�nterj and Robert Megans, a buszness instructor
at Wayzata High School.
The firat project undertaken by this graup was the opening
• of an eight bed extended care unit for adolescentE called
On-Belay House. This facility filled a very desperate need
at the time for adolescents who had completed a chemical
dependency treatment program but were not yet ready fo.r life
back in the family. On-Belay House is a live-in program
where the client either attends schoal ar works �nd receivea
both group and individual counseling on a regular basis.
In 1982, On-Belay House moved into a l�irger facility whose
present capacity is ten beds . On-Helay House is financed
thraugh a Hennepin County Minneapolis contract and is paid
a per diem for each resident. On-Belay is a griva�e profit
making entity.
On-nelay, Inc. soon recognized a need for this specialized
adolescent primary. treatment in Minneapolis , I4inne�ota a:�d
opened a n�w facility called "Louis Fious�" in 1980. Later
named Anthony Louis Center, it is a primary adolescent
treatment facility with a capacity af fifteen beds. This
unit is a ful.ly Iicensed and accredited free standing Eac-
ility (thus called because it is not assaciateci �hysically
or legally with a hospital or other larger health care fac-
ility) .
•
Anthony Lauis Center was one of the first free atanding
facilities in op�ratian and offers many advantaqes.
Management believes the primary advantag�s �re lower
• treatment costs; client care is improved in such a facility
because the smaller size promotes unity and czeates a
family. atmosphere; and the staff-to-client xatio is much
higher than in most institutionalized facilities. Anthony
Louis Center has been in continuous operation from I980 to
the present.
In 1980, Don Andereon and Jon Benson purchmaed the st�ck of
Messzs. Xosky, Megans and Surnmers. (Summers purchased
Cargill' s interest prior ta this date) . At the aame time,
Don Benson and Sara Benson purchased stock in the Compan� .
After severa� years of operatian, the Campany's founders
recognized a need for primary treatment in the northern
ruburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a response to that
need, the founders established another Adolescent Drug and
AlcohoZ Treatment Center in Blaine, Minnesota which was
called Anthony Louis C�nter North. This facility is aper- .
at�d as a separa�e unit and profit center. This facility
ia identical to Anthony Louis Center in its tr�atment pro-
gram. In June of 1984, Anthony Louis Center North applied
for and rece�ved accreditation under the �oint Commission
on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO} .
This was a significant achievement and is a highly honored
and prestigivus accomplishment. The accreditation qreatly
• improves occupancy levels as it allow� the faeility to
receive out-o�-state clients whose insuranc� companies
require JCAHO accreditation before reimburgement.
In January, 1983, the Company was contacted concerning the
need for one of its centers in Columbus, Ohio. After an
initial investigation, the Company discovezed that indeed
an Adoleecent Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center could be
successfu2 in the Columbus, Ohio area. The Company decided
to expand its operations beyond the state of Minnesvta and °
in so doing, changed the name of On-Belay, Tnc. to On-Belay
af Minnesota, Inc. At the same time, the Company's founders
created a new corporation by the name of On-Belay. Inc. for
thQ purpose of becoming a Co-Ceneral Partner in a Limited
Partnerehip which would operate an �dolescent Drug and
Alcohol Trea�ment Center in Columbus , Ohi� under the name of
"The Cam�us" . �
On-Selay of Minnesota, Inc. hag a management comtract with
the Col�umbus facility and has management control of th�
treat�ent portion of that program as well as effective
administrative control. The Columbus facility was profitable
after the first year and is currently a fifty bed, JCAH�
Accredited, facility. The Limited Fartnera �o,-o �••»�*�+- ^••L

In 1984, after recognizing the lack of treatment for
� adolescents on the east coast, On-Belay opened The Furman
Clinic, Inc. in Ridqewood, New Jersey. This adolescent
and adult out-patient, asse�sm.ent, referral and aftetcare
facility serves as the leading referral source to aur in-
patient facilities and is in the process of becominq JCAHo
Accredited.
In 1985, On-Belay Management Co. , Inc. was formed to pro-
vid� management foz The Furman Cliriic and future facilities .
It was aleo at this time, that Judith Benson Williams pur-
chased atock in the Cvmpany.
After operating The Furman Clinic for three years and seeing
th� overwhelming need for adolescent in-patient treatment in
the New York metropolitan area, On-Bel�y opened Anthony Louie
Center East in July 1988. This fifty bpd facility is located
in a former reeort of the Pocono Diountains of Pennsylvania
near the New Jerepy border. At the same time, On-Relay of
Fennsylvania was incorporated to serv� as the Managinq Gen-
eral Partner of On-Belay of Minnesota Limited Partnership II ,
DBA Anthony Louis Center. '
Over the two years since commencing business, the Pennsylvanila
facility has increased its referral base to the point where
� it will be profitable in the third year of operation.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAM AND THERAPY
Anthony Louis Center North is a 22 bed residential treatment center.
We are licensed by both the Minnesota Department of Health and Welfare
as an approved Rule 35 facility and licensed as a supervised living
facility by the State of Minnesota. We are also accredited by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH) .
Anthony Louis Center provides asseasment, evaluation, treatment and
aftercare services for adolescents. We serve males and femaZes aged
12-18 who are experiencing problems with their chemical use.
The philosophy of Anthony Louis Center is based on the twelve steps
� of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) . The belief of Anthony Louis Center is
that chemical dependency is a treatable illness by which the pro-
gression is predictable and symptomatology is describable. Anthony
Louis Center beiieves that chemical dependency affects the adolescenL•
emotionally, socially and developmentally, and distresses the entire
family. The main goal is to assist the adolescent in developing skill�
and desires to cope with the stresses of adolescence in a responsible,
chemically free manner. �
The theoretical orientation consists primarily of family systems theory
and social learning theory. Family systems theory is applied to all
phases of treatment, allowing the family members and clients to gain
insight into the effects of past eventa, dysfunctional communication
patterns, inappropriate subsystem boundaries, family secrets and poor
coping skills. Behavioral group therapy provides a setting for clients
to view the effects of their behavior on others, and to practic:e new
behaviors. Role modeling by the staff is essential to the client and
to their families.

Dear Char:
I juat wanted to let you lmow that I have met on an aftercare basis with
th family. This has been a very difficult caae that I have
been invo v ith since January of 1988. In early 1988 �and his
family Were referred by myaelf to Deac�esa' Ridges Outpatient Program.
Over the courae of my involvement with them� especially the father� and
to a leseer extent the mother, have been quite critical of druq treatment
and especially their experience at the Ric7gea. In addition• ae perhaps
you remenber, put quite a bit of preaaure on me to refer�
• to Hazeriden Pioneer ouse, based on rep�utation and coat. Alao at one
time they wanted me to put him inpatient at Deaconeas.
7l�e mother comm�s i.n vith a glaWirsg deecription of both her and her husband's
opinion of Louis House and ho�r good they felt about the experience there.
She descrfbed it as much mere organized than the Ridgea with a much more
competent and carinq staff.
Since in our business we more often receive complaints than praise, I
just wanted to paas thia on to you and reiterate our appreciation for
the work you have done for us over these past 8 to 10 years.

Dearest Shar, .
I hope that this letter finds you and the "North" house doing well. This is
n�y first week back at work and I wanted to take time out to drop you this note.
Words cannot express my appreciation for what I experienced while I spent time
. Nith your staff, the residents and you there. It was one of the "cfioicest"
experiences of n�y life and one that I will never forget. I knoM► that when I
get out of the USAF, I will be looking forward to working.in an adolescent
treatment facility such as Louis House North. You have such a great staff who
impressed me with their sensitivity to the needs of all family members and not
only those of the resident. It is really hard being back in military surround-
ings, because after being at your facility, I know that we are missing the mark
when it canes to the family involvement. We are not afforded the time to be
involved, because the USAF is more concerned with the administrative aspects of
the case files and not really with the life tssues of the client. Hopefully in
some small way I can carry the light here that was lit in my heart at Lou�s House
North.
Please pass n�y thanks to all there for making me feel welcane and a member of
yo�=family". As Vicki and Tim will tell you, it was hard for me to leave.
Wishing you the best of life's riches9 I remain, �
Sincerly yours

To Whom It May Concern:
As the chemical health coordfnator for Centennial
School District, I have had the pleasure of workinq with
�he Anthony Loufs C7enter.
The center's profeasfonal �ta�t have been aervinq
my diatrict and community for the past six years. Many .
speakers, parent lectures, etaff trainings, and other
services have been provided by tha staft, administiation
and aftsrcare clients. The ssrvices have benefited many .
tamilie• in the surroundinq communities and have helped
� to make Anthony Louis Center a qood neiqhbor.
• Open Houaes have been hald at the cantes tor
neighbors to come and learn more about the center's atrict
(but caring) philosophy for dealinq with younq people and
their familiea. The teens from my diatrict who have been
residents at the Blafne Center speak highly of learninq
valuable social skilla, lite skills artd respect for them-
selves and others. The parenta o! students in thia program
also have atated how Mell the staff deals with settinq
limits and rules and keepinQ them!
David Rosenker is a �tronq and understandinq adminis-
trator, who aill aork hard to inteqrate the center with
your community. It you have any questiona or would like
turther clarilic.tion, please feel tree to contact me.

TO �1�lOM IT MAY CONCERN : J u 1 y 20 , 1990
I have been asked by Program Director Melissa BrogSer from
the Lewis House , located in the City cf 8laine, to prepare a
?etter of recommendation . The Lewis Heuse is seeking
approvai to impl�ment a facility ir the City of Gcl�en
Valley .
Lewis House is located in a residential area in the northern
part of Blaine. It has operated in Blaine for about 10 years .
To my knowledge, we have never received any compiaints from
surrounding residents as to the type of operation that Lew� s
House offers . The management and operating staff have always
been very open with the police departmert and have always
been very accommodating at any time we nseded te discuss any
issues . In fact, Lewis House has been very aggressive in
involving liaisons frem the local schools , police departrent
• and community tc sit as an advisory board making sure the
operation is conducive to the needs and desires of the
community .
The calls for service contacts that this police department
has had over the years are not excessive. The staff of Lewis
House seems to take care of their problems before tney get
out of hand . The calls that we respond ta at this
facility are of the standard type, i . e . , medicals , aids ,
miscellaneous public , runaways , etc .
I would offer that the Lewis House as a very quiet, friendly
and professional operation with a good image , led by people
who care and work well within our community .
Re ectfully submitted,

To vhom it may concern:
On Belay has requested I write a letter an behalf of their organization,
mentioning, in particuiar, rrhat type of rteighbors they are.
f�el.l , the request is quite easy. Gn 8ei�y has present�d no problems . In
fact, it was quite some time before I� even knew the house was not "strictly" a
family situation, but instead housed up to 10 teenagers.
The kids are kids. . .no more, no less. I've met a number of them through
scavenger hunts. but generally, rarely see them except in their own yard. The
nnise levet is no different than any other neighbor, and I have found them to
• be cooperative rith a stronq desire to participate in a safe, quiet
neighborhood. The kids are polite twhich probably does make them different
from other kids! !) and the staff appears to have more control over these
teenagers than a lot of parents I know.
There's nothing special about them. . .any more than there is anythinq special
about me. . .as a neighbor. They are �ust. ..neighbors.
Should you have any questions or wish to contact me, please feel free to do
so. You can reach me at work @ 546-7386.

DA7E: August 8, 1990
T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
SUJBECT: REVIEW -0F UPDATE TO TRANSPORTATION AND SEWER ELEMENTS TO THE '
COMPREHfNSIVE PLAN
, In 1989, the Metropolitan Council issued new systems statements. to the cities in
the seven county metro area relating to transportation and waste water treat-
ment. `The new systems statement give cities an updated picture of the metropo-
litan sewer system and transportation system and projections for the systems to
the year 2010. Cities are required by the State to then update their comprehen-
sive plan elements related to transportation and sewers based on the information
found in the systems statement.
The updated or revised elements to the Plan must be consistent with the metro
� system for transportation 'and sewers. If Golden Valley's plan is not con-
sistent, the City will be asked to make changes to the updated Plan elements.
The staff has prepared the new update Transportation and sewer elements. The
staff believes they are consistent with the information provided to the City in
the Systems Statement.
These two updated elements are non-controversial . The changes from the 1982
plan for sewer and transportation reflect updated population and employment
forecasts along with the latest plans for the metro highway and sewer systems.
Because of I-394, the systems statement asked that Golden Valley adopt policies
to enhance the operation of I-394. Also, the Metro Council is concerned about
the proposed light rail system and the protection of the right-of-way for the
lines.
, ,
The Transportation Plan is attached for your review and recommendation. The
sewer Plan will be made available at the meting on Monday night. A member of
the Engineering Dept. will be at the meeting to walk us through it.

Introduction
The transportation plan is a required component of local comprehensive plans in
the State of Minnesota. State law also requires that the plans for communities
in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA) must reflect the regional policy
framework established by the Twin Cities Metropolitan Council .
This document is an amendment of Golden Valley's transportation plan of 1982.
In it, the City attempts to address the issues and concerns raised in the
Metropolitan Council 's 1989 Systems Statement for Transportation, and the 1989
Systems Statement for Aviation and Light Rail Transit.
The City of Golden Valley recognizes that transportat�on concerns transcend
political and geographical boundaries. Local communities must all share in the
burden of maintaining accessibility to regional and local travel destinations.
Only through responsible planning and joint efforts can TCMA residents hope for
continuing freedom of choice in locations to live, work, shop, and recreate
within convenient transportation range.
Because much of Golden Valley's development and its transportation system are
already in place, some of the issues and policies set out by the Metropolitan
Council are not directly applicable, or are not economically feasible, for the
City to consider in the short term. In the long term, however, Golden Valley
� supports the need for coordinated regional transportation planning, and the
general aims of the Metropolitan Council regarding transportation.
This document is organized with a preliminary section covering general develop-
ment information and forecasts, followed by additional sections providing infor-
mation and recomrnendations relating to specific types of transportation.
Development in Golden Valley
The land use component of Golden Valley's 1982 comprehensive plan contains the
long range land use map that still guides development in the City. As a mature,
inner ring suburb of the TCMA, development in Golden Valley hasn't undergone any
radical changes in the past decade. There has been a fair amount of infill
housing constructed, most of it at relatively high densities in comparison to
the City' s traditional single family lots. Nonresidential development activity
has been concentrated in the three redevelopment districts established by the
City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority: Golden Hills in the high-visibility
I-394 corridor; North Wirth, on the north side of T.H. 55 next to Theodore Wirth
Park; and Valley Square, Golden Valley' s "downtown" , north of T.H. 55 and cen-
tering on Winnetka Avenue.
Transportation planning relies to a large extent on the analysis of development
patterns and intensities, present and future. For the purpose of traffic analy-
sis, development is generally measured in terms of population and employment
counts. When coded into specific geographic subdivisions generally known as
• Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ's) , current estimates and forecasts of population
and employment can be used to study how the transportation system might be
affected by development over time.
� s
� P age Two
• Golden Va]ley is only one relatively small component of the TCMA. Development
changes in the City affect neighboring communities and vice versa. In order ta
better understand and regulate the impacts of local land use decisions on the
TCMA as a whole, the Metropolitan Council is charged by the State legislature
with the responsibility for overseeing regional transportation analysis and
planning. The Metropolitan Council has delineated ten TAZ's within Golden
Valley, and the City's recently updated forecasts of population and employment
within those TAZ's have been reviewed and approved by Metropolitan Council staff
for transportation planning purposes. Exhibit 1 provides a map of TAZ bound-
aries, and indicates the percentage increase between estimates and forecasts of
population and employment for each of Golden Valley's TAZ' s.
The Metropolitan Council has also directed all TCMA communities to prepare maxi-
mum population and employment counts if each TAZ were developed to its highest
permitted intensity given existing comprehensive plan designations and local
land use regulations. In Golden Valley this task was greatly complicated by
large areas of existing development at various below-maximum intensities, and by
types of uses or mixes of uses that resist simple categorization into employee-
per-area standards. The City has nevertheless attempted to deal with the task
in a reasonable manner. Estimates, forecasts, and estimated maximum counts of
employment and population by TAZ are provided in Exhibit 2 .
To summarize, maximum development throughout much of Golden Valley is not con-
sidered to be very different from existing development intensity because the
extent and pattern of existing development uses most of the City's land even
• though it may be of a lower intensity than what City code would permit. Most of
this development is in good condition and in demand. Short of massive redevel -
opment efforts, which are in progress in the City's three redevelopment
districts, there are only a few scattered opportunities for significant develop-
ment intensity increases.
TAZ 731, containing the Valley Square Redevelopment District, and TAZ 733, in
the I-394 corridor, are expected to be the sources of nearly all of the City's
modest retail employment increase. Nearly 90% of the City's overall employment
growth will occur in three TAZ's: TAZ 732, located along I-394 and including a
considerable amount of undeveloped General Mills property; TAZ 735, also along
I-394 and containing the Golden Hills Redevelopment District; and TAZ 737, con-
taining the North Wirth Redevelopment District. TAZ' s 735 and 737 will also see
the City's only sizeable population and household increases, almost entirely in
the form of high density multifamily units.
Streets and Highways
The City of Golden Valley is characterized by attractive residential neighbor-
hoods, served by approximately 140 miles of local residential streets.
(Exhibit 3 ) These local streets provide residents of the City with low speed
access to majar collectors and thoroughfares. In addition to these local road-
ways are four major state expressways (T.H. 55, T.N. 100, T.H. 169 and I-394).
These expressways provide access to local and regional destinations.

� Using the functional classification criteria set out by the Metropolitan Council
in its "Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan" of 1989, it is possible to
divide Golden Valley's street system into four classes based on characteristics
such as access, usage, design and speed limits. A map of the street system by
functional classification is provided in Exhibit 4 . The roadways and their
classifications are summarized as follows:
�

These roadways are four and two lane bituminous over-
laid, undivided, signalized access corridors feeding
into principal arterials, and iocal streets at a low
traffic speed.
Glenwood Avenue is designated a minor arterial east of
the T.H. 100 interchange to the City's eastern boundary.
It functions as a two-lane undivided arterial with bitu=
minous surface and unpaved shoulders. Traffic speed is
low since it serves primarily residential neighborhoods.
Medicine Lake Road is a two-lane roadway classified a
minor arterial by Hennepin County and by the Cities of
Golden Valley, New Hope and Crystal . It is scheduled
for reconstruction to a four-lane roadway for 1990-91.
COLLECTORS Collectors are usually spaced between principal and
minor arterials. Collector streets within the City are
as follows:
Theodore Wirth Parkway, Noble Avenue, Golden Valley Road
(between T.H. 100 and Boone Avenue), Glenwood Avenue
• (west of T.H. 100) , Turner's Crossroad, Betty Crocker
Drive, Boone Avenue (between Plymouth Avenue and T.H.
55), Plymouth Avenue (west of Winnetka Avenue), Duluth
Street (west of Winnetka Avenue) , Duluth Street (west of
Winnetka Avenue and Douglas Drive), Country Club Drive,
Harold Avenue (between Winnetka and Glenwood Avenues),
Western Avenue (between Winnetka and Jersey Avenues),
Jersey Avenue (between Glenwood and Laurel Avenues) , .
Laurel Avenue (between Winnetka Avenue and Turner' s
Crossroad) , Louisiana Avenue (between Laurel Avenue and
I-394) , Meadow Lane (between Highway 55 and Glenwood
Avenue).
These facilities are two-lane, undivided roadways
serving as low speed traffic feeders to principal ,
intermediate and minor arterials, and local streets.
LOCAL STREETS These roadways include the remaining roadways in the
City previously unmentioned. Lying primariTy in residen-
tial areas of the City, these roadways provide low speed
access to nearly all categories of roads.
1989 Traffic volumes (Average Annual Daily Traffic - AADT, see Exhibit 5 ) for
the City are characteristic of a fully developed municipality in the Twin Cities
• area. However, Golden Valley is in a unique situation, having four principal
arterials lying within its corporate limits. These major thoroughfares carry
the heaviest traffic volumes in the City and provide a high speed corridor for
travel between subregions.

AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC
� 2010 A.D.T.
Page Five
• The generalized AADT on these four transportation facilities as they pass
through Golden Valley are as follows:
AADT (Mean)
Trunk Highway 12 (I-394) 63,600
Trunk Highway 100 62,700
Trunk Highway 55 45,500
T.H. 169 70,700
The average daily traffic volumes for the year 2010 on all of the four major
transportation facilities lying in Golden Valley are forecasted to increase as
follows according to forecasts provided by Hennepin County:
AADT (Mean)
1989 2Q10 �
I-394 63,600 73,400 +15.40
• Trunk Highway 100 62,700 79,250 +26.40
Trunk Highway 55 45,500 46,400 + 2.00
T.H. 169 70,700 71,000 + 0.05
Other projected 2010 traffic volumes are illustrated in Exhibit 6 . The
overall traffic volume increases should be taken seriously by state, county, and
local levels of government. Although these projections only represent a gener-
alized forecast, the ramifications of allowing these forecasted volumes to exist
on the present transportation network (roadways and transits) could be devasta-
ting to the easy, free mobility of travel within Golden Valley and between
surrounding municipalities. Trips that are forced off of major thoroughfares
due to increasing congestions, will begin to filter onto less appropriate local
streets.
In the future, if the cost to operate and maintain an automobile increases, this
may affect future traffic volumes by lessening the daily person trips origi-
nating and/or terminating in Golden Valley. Although this trend is strictly
speculative and conjecture, the development of a viable transportation system
for the future should remain a planning priority based on a continuing trend
toward rising gas costs and fluctuating gasoline supplies.
The completion of I-394 construction in 1992 should alleviate some of the
congestion on the City's roadway system, at least in the short term. Long term
• management of traffic in the I-394 corridor will rely greatly on the provisions
contained in the "I-394 Overlay Zoning District Ordinance" created and adopted
by Golden Valley and St. Louis Park through a formal joint powers agreement in
1989.
Page Six
• The ordinance will require that any development with the potential for creating
significant congestion along the I-394 corridor must be prepared to implement
effective traffic management plans in order to minimize traffic impacts on the
system.
At this time, Golden Valley does not envision any specific role for local
government in promoting use of the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes along
I-394. The City recognizes, however, that car-pooling can be a useful tool for
decreasing traffic congestion, and would be responsive to participation in MnDot
initiated efforts at promotion to local businesses and residents.
Vehicle queuing at highway access ramps has not been seriously considered by
Golden Valley to-date, either, because this has never been a significant problem
for the City. However, planned use of ramp metering along all state highways in
the TCMA could result in vehicle queuing problems along Golden Valley streets in
the future, and it would probably be a good idea for the City to begin an inves-
tigation of where such problems are likely to occur and how other communities
have responded to them.
Along the I-394 corridor, the Cities of Golden Valley and St. Louis Park have
adopted the "I-394 Overlay Zoning District Ordinance" that states that when the
level of service at the interchanges along I-394 exceed a Level of Service E,
the traffic management plans required by the Ordinance would have to be imple-
mented to reduce congestion at the interchanges. In addition, both the City of
Golden Valley and St. Louis Park have stated in a joint powers agreement that
• when traffic along the corridor does become congested, certain improvements to
the local street system will be considered by the respective City Councils in
order to help reduce congestion.
Recommendation: Golden Valley should follow through on the program established
through its joint powers agreement with St. Louis Park, to ensure minimal
impact of new development along I-394.
Recommendation: Golden Valley should remain receptive to requests from the �
MnDot for cooperation in promotional activities regarding use of HOV lanes
along I-394, ride sharing and transit.
Recommendation: Golden Valley should begin looking into the potential problem
of vehicle queuing at ramps onto I-394, and other highways transecting the
City, so that potential strategies are available if needed.
T.H. 100 is being improved at the I-394 interchange as part of the overall 1-394
construction project. A grade-separated interchange at 36th Avenue North is
currently in the planning stages, with the City assisting the MnDot in deter-
mining the potential impacts to Golden Valley. At this time, the segment of
T.H. 100 that runs through Golden Valley from I-394 to 36th Avenue North will be
the most deficient segment remaining on that highway.
While no firm funding is currently available, the MnDot has approached the City
with plans for a preliminary design study to consider the scope and cost of
improvements along the Golden Valley segment of T.H. 100. The City is very
• interested in participating in such a study if it is to take place. City
recommendations for necessary improvements include completion of a continuous
frontage road system along the segment from T.H. 55 to 36th Avenue, and the
elimination of existing at-grade access points at the following locations:
Page Seven

Holiday Lane Holiday Lane
Thotland Road
Unity Avenue
Recammendation: The City should continue to cooperate with the MnDot on T.H.
100 corridor planning.
Traffic on T.H. 55 has increased enormously between the counts taken in 1979 and
1989. Increases at various segments of the corridor range from 50 percent to
100 percent, putting the average daily traffic volumes in 1989 almost up to the
volumes forecast for 2010. In the short term, the completion of I-394 is
expected to result in an easing of the traffic volumes on T.H. 55, since some of
the current traffic is assumed to be detoured from the construction along I-394.
In the long term, however, T.H. 55 can be expected to become slightly more
congested than it is today. With two of the City' s redevelopment districts
lying along the T.H. 55 corridor, Golden Valley is understandably concerned
about traffic congestion in this corridor.
Recent years have seen the completion of north and south frontage roads between
Douglas Drive and Zane Avenue. The MnDot will soon be closing the uncontrolled
� westbound access from North Lilac Drive. No other specific improvements are
programmed or planned at this time, but Golden Valley City policy generally
supports the elimination of direct access points or signalization of all at-
grade access points in order to facilitate the flow of high volume traffic along
T.H. 55.
Winnetka Avenue (County Road 156) immediately north of T.H. 55 has been an area
of concern for several years. This collector street segment lies at the heart
of the City's Va11ey Square Redevelopment District. In the two blocks between
T.H. 55 and lOth Avenue North there are several curb cuts lining both sides of
the street and providing access to fairly high volume commercial traffic genera- •
tors. The intersections at Golden Valley Road and T.H. 55 function poorly
during peak traffic times. Street widening and traffic channelization are con-
sidered necessary improvements in order to improve traffic flow. The County had
pro-grammed these improvements for 1992, but requires City assistance in pur-
chasing the additional right-of-way. Pending further development in the Valley
Square area, the City does not have the funds that are needed at this time, so
the reconstruction has been postponed. However, the City still supports the
need for the eventual widening and channelization of this road segment.
Meanwhile, several curb cuts on the Civic Center block are being eliminated
through redevelopment activities, and the McDonald's site is being redesigned to
be�ter handle the trips it generates.
The intersection of Douglas Drive (County Road 102) and Duluth Street (County
Road 66) is another problem area in Golden Valley. Frequent accidents occur at
that location, particularly during winter months when snow and ice tend to
. obscure the painted turn lanes. The City has long supported the need for
better channelization, and perhaps additional right-of-way, at the intersection
of these two collector streets.

• In general , the collector street system in Golden Valley is in fair shape but
could use additional improvements. There is still poor delineation between
collector streets and local streets in some areas, with too many stap signs
impeding the smooth flow of traffic on the collectors because of local demands;
City policy is to remove as many stop signs as possible from collector streets,
and to install new stop signs only as a result of traffic studies demonstrating
valid need. The collector street system also is still in need of some completer
segments, and some improvements at various locations.
Recommendation: The City should continue to coopeate with the Hennepin County
Department of Transportation regarding improvements to those collector streets
that are under County jurisdiction.
Recommendation: The City should continue its efforts to complete and upgrade
the collector street system in Golden Valley, and to improve traffic flow by
the appropriate siting of stop signs and signals.
TRANSIT
Transit is becoming an increasingly important mode of transportation in the
Metro area as a means to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and the over-
all cost of transportation. In order to plan for transit in the Twin Cities,
the City of Golden Valley must cooperate with other government units to ensure
the viability and success of a Metropolitan transit system.
• Over the past several years, the definition of transit has been widened to
include modes other than buses. Transit now includes buses, light rail systems,
bus circulator systems, van pools, car pools and ride sharing. In a relatively
low density Metro area Tike the Twin Cities, a successful transit system must
include private vehicles in order to successfully reduce traffic volumes. This
is particularly important to Golden Valley due to the large number of employees
in the City that use the local street system and the number of Metro highways
running through the City.
The planning, coordination and monitoring of the Metro transportation system is
facilitated through the Continuing, Comprehensive and Cooperative (3-C) planning
process. This 3-C process is required by the Federal and State laws in order to
coordinate the development of the areas transportation system. This process
involves a cooperative effort among the Metro Council , Regional Transit Board,
Metropolitan Transit Commission, Minnesota Department of Transportation and
County and City governments. Each government body has the following responsi-
bilities:
Metropolitan Council - Designated by the Governor as the metropolitan
planning organization. The Metro Council has the responsibility to admin-
ister the 3(C) process. The Council is the overall transportation policy
making organization for the Twin Cities.
Regional Transit Board (RTB) - The RTB was created by the State Legislature
in 1984 to provide overall planning and coordination of the regional transit
system. In 1989, the Legislature gave the additional responsibility of
• adopting a light rail transit plan for the region to the RTB. Before 1989,
Hennepin County and other Metro counties were planning light rail systems
Page Nine
. on a county by county basis. The Legislature believed that the RTB wouTd
be the best agency to coordinate the efforts for a regional light rail
plan. The overall LRT plan was submitted to the Legislature in 1990.
MetropoTitan Transit Commission (MTC) - Since the creation in 1984 of the
RTB, the role of the MTC has been changed. Prior to 1984, the MTC both �an
the transit system and performed long range transit planning. The MTC is
now responsible for operating transit systems and preparing operational and
service plans for the Metro area. When the Metro area has a light rail
system, the Legislature has determined it will be operated by the MTC.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDot) - MnDot is responsible for
developing and implementing a comprehensive statewide transportation plan.
Also, it administers and allocates State transportation funding.
County and Municipal Government - Both are responsible for planning and
establishing transportation goals, objectives, policies and plans that are
consistent with the Metropolitan Development Guide.
Coordinated planning of transit service involves an analysis of factors
affecting the level of services. At the local planning level the analysis
should include:
1. Location of high density residential areas.
• 2. Location of high employment centers.
3. Definitions of areas lacking adequate transit services, determined
by densely populated areas lacking close proximity to existing tran-
sit lines/routes.
4. Evaluation of local fare structure which is presently based on
Metropolitan Center (Central BusTness District) ingress and egress.
5. Evaluation of public transit need between suburban subregions.
6. Investigation of alternative modes of transit (bus, dial-a-ride,
paratransit, light rail , ride-sharing).
7. Service to specific populations i.e. senior citizens, youth, low-
income.
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSIT SERVICES
Bus Service
Until early 1990, there were two bus companies serving Golden Valley - MTC
and the Medicine Lake Line. The Medicine Lake Line ceased operating in
early 1990 and all routes were taken over by the MTC. Service on the old
Medicine Lake Line routes will be continued with the possibility of some
route adjustments being made by the MTC in the Fall of 1990. The attached
map indicates the bus lines serving Golden Valley by the MTC. Service is
generally directed toward downtown Minneapolis.
With the elimination of Medicine Lake Lines, there is an opportunity to
• provide more coordinated service to Golden Valley. There has been a need
identified by the MTC for crosstown transit service to serve those people
wanting to get to the Brookdale area and south to St. Louis Park, Edina

Senior Citizen Transit
The City of Golden Valley along with Robbinsdale, Crystal , New Hope and
Brooklyn Center sponsors and fund a flexible fixed route mini-bus system
to serve the senior citizens. This has been operating for three years.
The system services various senior housing developments and commercial
areas in the five City area. The City's share for this system funded by
the Community Development Block Grant.
Light Rail Transit
The Hennepin County Railroad Authority has proposed several light rail
corridors in Hennepin County. The proposed northwest line runs west from
downtown Minneapolis to the Golden Valley border along Hwy. 55 (Olson
P�emorial Hwy. ) and then northwest along the Burlington Northern right-of-
way to 85th Street in Brooklyn Park. This line is described in the
"Preliminary Design of the Northwest LRT Corridor, January ll, 1989°
written by (HCRRA). This northwest corridor runs through
• the far northeast corner of Golden Valley. The Preliminary Plan for the
northwest corridor had two LRT stations in Golden Valley. The southern
station was located at Plymouth Avenue and Xerxes Avenue. The northern
station was proposed at the intersection of Golden Ualley Road and Bonnie
Lane.
The City Council gave their conditional approval to the Preliminary Design
Plan in the Spring of 1989. The conditional approval suggested fewer .
"park and ride" spaces at the Golden Valley Road station and more "park
and ride" spaces at the Plymouth Avenue station. The City Council also
was concerned regarding the effect of the LRT line on adjacent residential
property, potential traffic congestion near stations, station security and
the number of buses that would congregate at the LRT stations. It was
hoped that the HCRRA would begin a dialogue with the City on these con-
cerns.
After City Council gave conditional approval of the Preliminary Design Plan
for the Northwest line in Spring 1989, the HCRRA eliminated both Golden
Valley stations from the Preliminary Design Plan in the summer of 1989.
At the time of this writing, the LRT corridor goes through Golden Valley
with the closest station at Penn Avenue and Hwy. 55 in Minneapolis and
42nd Avenue No. in Crystal .
The HCRRA has also identified a secondary route alignments that could be
developed after the primary corridors are developed in Hennepin County.
One of those secondary alignments would go west from downtown Minneapolis
• in an alignment parallel with Hwy. 55. This route would end in Plymouth
near I-494. This route would run the full width of Golden Valley and
provide better service to a greater number of residents of Go7den Valley.
Because this line runs through commercial and industrial areas, there
Page Eleven
•
would be a good opportunity for "park and ride" lots at potential station
locations. Because of the current congestion along the Hwy. 55/Hwy. I-394
corridor, the location of this LRT line makes sense to the City of Golden
Valley.
The City Council supports LRT as an alternate form of public transit and
will support corridors through Golden Valley with certain conditions
related to station location, station size and protection of properties
along the corridor.
Other Forms of Transit
The City has not actively promoted ride-sharing, van pools or a bus cir-
culator system. However, the City' s I-394 Zoning Overlay Ordinance
requires that large developments prepare traffic management plans. In
this ordinance, it is suggested that ride sharing, van pools and biking be
encouraged to reduce traffic generation and reduce the need for parking.
The City is weil weli served by a number of taxi companies.
Recommendations
• - The RTB and MTC along with the City of Golden Valley should work together
to better serve the residents and employees with transit. Currently, there
are areas in Golden Valley that are underserved (little or no midday or
weekend service) or not near a bus line (within 1/4 mile).
- Improved transit should consist of a combination of modes that are the
responsibility of both the public and private sectors to build and operate
and encourage.
- Park and ride lots should be designated at strategic locations in Golden
Valiey to encourage both ride sharing and transit use.
- Improved intra-community transit and north/south transit should be consid-
ered to better serve local activity centers and access to activity centers
other than downtown Minneapolis.
- Golden Valley supports the development of LRT as another means of transit
for the Twin Cities. Golden Valley has and will continue to work with the
RTB and the HCRRA to develop the northwest and Plymouth corridors. The
City will continue to raise issues relating to station size, security,
effect on properties near stations or tracks, noise, traffic congestion
near stations and development around stations.
- The City of Golden Valley should encourage new developments and redevelop-
ment to be transit friendly. Developments should locate transit stops
• where they can be conveniently used by employees and visitors.

� RAILWAYS
Three major railway lines transect Golden Vailey on four routes (Exhibit 7 ).
They are:
Chicago-Northwestern Railway
Soo Line Railroad
Burlington Northern Railway
Though some trackage and miscellaneous right-of-way have been declared excess
by the rail companies and have been bought by the City for redevelopment, there
are no immediate or near future plans to alter the basic railway facilities in
the City. The maintenance and monitoring of tracks and railroad right-of-way
property will continue to be the sole responsibility of the railway companies.
The City's industria� areas are well served by the local rail lines, while the
lines themselves are fairly well integrated into the fiber of the community. No
high speed lines transect the City, and no ongoing accident problems have been
noted. Railway and automobile intersections, which have presented hazardous
problems in the past, have largely been alleviated with signalization, over-
passes, or underpasses and construction of rubberized crossings. However, there
are some locations in the City which feature restrictive auto mobility due to
rail movement at grade intersections, and substandard conditions of the cross-
� ings themselves. The City continuously works with the Railroads to improve
crossings with rubberized surfaces and other improvements as needed. The City
of Golden Valley Safety Council has prioritized specific crossings on main
travel corridors in need of signalization. They include:
Railroad Crossings Priority
Frontage Road - I-394 between Colorado and
Xenia Avenues (Soo RY) 1
Pennsylvania Avenue (CNW RY) 2
Douglas Drive near Minnegasco (CNW RY) 2
Boone Avenue near Plymouth Avenue (CNW RY) 3
Zane Avenue (CNW RY) 3
Ottawa Avenue near Killarney Drive (CNW RY) 4
Existing nine crossings on spur lines 5
Recommendation: The City should continue to work with the railway companies to
minimize transportation conflicts at local railroad crossings.

• Non-Motorized Trails and Sidewalks
Non-motorized trails have been included in the Transportation plan because they
encourage the safe operation of bicycles and walking/running. Biking and walk-
ing can play an important roie for short trips and as a means of exercise and
recreation.
The City is approximately 95% complete in the development of a 45 mile non-
motorized trail system. The system includes limestone trails, City sidewalks,
bituminuos bike trails and minor residential streets. The system serves the
entire City, providing for biking, walking, running, rollerskating and roller-
blading.
Within Golden Valley, there is a non-motorized trail in Wirth Park which is
owned by the Minneapolis Park Board. This trail runs north/south along the
entire eastern edge of the City through Wirth Park. The City has also discussed
with Hennepin Parks its plan for the construction of a non-motorized trail from
Wirth Park in Golden Valley to French Park in Plymouth. This trail would run
along the existing Chicago and NW Railroad right-of-way. This trail is on the
Hennepin Park Five-Year Plan and is considered a top priority.
The construction of sidewalks encourages people to walk. Sidewalks are espe-
cially needed along heavily travelled streets, on routes to parks and schools
and in commercial districts. For instance, the City has built sidewalks on all
• streets that have been rebuilt in the Valley Square area in order to encourage
pedestrian movement in this commercial area.
Sidewalks also are needed on streets leading to transit stops in order to make
transit more accessible.
Recommendations
1. Continue to include sidewalks along all streets that are reconstructed in
the Valley Square Redevelopment area.
2. Provide sidewalks connecting newly constructed commercial and residential
areas to transit lines.
3. Sidewalks should be located in those areas by and near schools, parks,
churches, business centers and other public meeting places to facilitate
pedestrian movement and safety.
4. Sidewalks should be located on those streets which carry heavy vehicular
and pedestrian traffic such as county highways, frontage roads, and state
aid streets.
5. All sidewalks should be placed to provide a maximum safe distance from the
roadway whenever possible.
• 6. The Golden Valley non-motorized trail system should be linked to the
Hennepin Parks regional trail system. The City should encourage the
construction of regional trails in the City.
Page Fourteen
• 7 Non-motorized trails should serve major employment centers such as the
Valley Square area, the Golden Hills area and General Mills.
8. Non-motorized bike trail routes should be integrated into the Vatley Square
Redevelopment Plan.
9. The remaining 5% of the 45 mile non-motorized trail system should be
completed.
10. The City should work with commercial developers to design their develop-
ments to be more pedestrian "friendly". Internal sidewalk systems should
connect with City sidewalks, transits and transit stops. Parking lots
should be designed to encourage pedestrian movements.
AIR TRANSPORTATION
Golden Valley has no airport. The nearest airport facilities are at the
northern end of neighboring Crystal . Most of the air traffic demand generated
by Golden Valley is served by the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
(MSP). This regional air hub has suffered in recent years from increasing
congestion and outmoded facilities. The ongoing debate over the future of MSP
and its potential replacement could have significant impacts on Golden Valley,
particularily regarding accessibility and noise.
• Recommendation: The City should monitor and participate in the decision-making
process regarding regional air services.
According to the 1986 Aviation Development Guide/Policy Plan of the Metropolitan
Council , Golden Valley is included within the "critical airspace" area of MSP.
For the ongoing safety and efficiency of regional air services, this area must
be protected from encroachment by structures over 500 feet in height. The
City's zoning code effectively limits structure height to well below 500 feet in
most cases, but there are some exceptions. In the Radio and Television Zoning
District, communication towers are permitted with no maximum height specified.
Office towers of unspecified height would be permitted as conditional uses or in
Planned Unit Developments. Given the character of the community and the charac-
teristics of available land, it seems unlikely that structures of more than 500
feet in height would be proposed or accepted in Golden Valley. The tallest
existing structure, the Colonnade Office Tower is less than 250 feet in height.
Recommendation: The City should investigate the usefulness of incorporating
specific height restrictions into appropriate sections of the zoning code.
In 1984, the City amended its zoning code to allow heliports as conditional uses
in its Business and Professional Office, Commercial , Industrial and Institu-
tional zoning districts. Since that time, a single helicopter landing pad has
been permitted for the KARE television station. This low level of historical
demand notwithstanding, the Metropolitan Council accelerated future demand in
• all local communities, mostly generated by major businesses. A model heliport
ordinance has been developed by the Council in order to promote safe and effec-
tive helicopter landing facilities. City code currently states that heliports
within Golden Valley must conform to regulations and requirements established by
the Federal Aviation Administration and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation.
_ . —._
Page Fifteen
� Recommendation: The City should review the model heliport ordinance of the
Metropolitan Councii and determine its potential applicability to Golden
Valley.
IMPLEMENTATION
The implementation of Golden Valley's transportation needs and policy must be a
cooperative effort between the City and various other governmental bodies. The
intergovernmental coordination of transportation planning and development is the
key element to the successfuT impTementation of a viabie iocal transportation
network serving the metropolitan system.
The financing of transportation improvements often becomes the most critical
aspect of the planning process, due to the enormous cost of most such improve-
ments. The funding sources for a variety of transportation modes tends to
originate at the Federal and State level . The balance of available funding must
be accumulated from revenues collected at the city, county, township, and spe-
cial authority levels.
Outside funding for roadway improvements comes form the Federal/State Trunk
Highway Fund, the Interstate Nighway Fund, the County/State Aid Highway Fund,
and the Municipal State Aid Street Fund. Outside transit funding comes from the
State Transit Fund and from Community Development Block Grant money (for the
• senior transit program). Other outside sources may include a variety of special
use funds or demonstration project funds. All of this comes together with money
allocated from the City's General Fund and is programmed through the Capital
Improvement Program chapter of the Comprehensive Plan.

SEWER ELEMENT - LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
1990
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Sanitary waste management is a very critical aspect of any urban
environment. In recent years, this has become increasingly more
apparent. The handling of liquid waste will continue to be compounded
by new growth in the metropolitan areas, and increases in
redevelopment and population densities.
Sanitary sewer management is concerned primarily with the
transportation and disposal of the city's liquid wastes. The
infrastructure required to sustain the present level of service is
extensive. Increasing capacity can be difficult and economically
unfeasible. Therefore, it is imperative that the present sanitary
waste control system be properly and effectively managed. This
includes projecting land use impacts to the system to determine future
capacity needs and issues.
The City of Golden Valley is located totally within the Twin Cities
• delineated "Urban Service Area" which encompasses the existing mass
including Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the majority of the surrounding
suburban municipalities. Golden Valley is further defined as a "Fully
Developed Area", meaning the City has reached that stage of urban
development where growth management becomes a matter of urban
revitalization and/or preservation. Typically, a municipality
assigned a "Fully Developed" status has either attained or is
approaching a mature, saturated state of urban development.
At the present time, the City is served entirely by the local and
metropolitan sewer system network. These local sewers and
metropolitan interceptors in Golden Valley are part of the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's (MWCC) "Sewer Service District
No. 2" . All sewage flow generated within this District receives
treatment at the Metropolitan Waste Water Treatment Plant at Pig's Eye
Lake along the Mississippi River south of Saint Paul. The City is
assessed for its share of the treatment costs based on sewage flows.
Since the City's existing sanitary sewer system adequately serves its
local citizenry, industry and commercial businesses, the intent of
this report will be to analyze the system and provide direction to
maintain the sewer network and protect the general public from adverse
sewer system impacts.

SANITARY SEWER
Overview• (Map 1� '
During the late 1950's and early 1960's the City of Golden Valley
began to eonstruct its present sanitary sewer system. Between 1957
and 1965 approximately 70� of the sewers now in use were laid. Before
municipal sewer was available, residents used individual on-site
sewage disposal systems.
As the City began to mature and develop into a built-up urban
community, local sanitary sewer service was provided on demand. New
developments were provided with sewer laterals and extension service
from the existing trunk lines. After 1965, service was provided to
scattered sites and to site developments throughout the City.
Existing System: (Map 2�
Today the City is almost completely served by local and metropolitan
sewer facilities. These facilities include a variety of functions,
sizes, and materials. The relative size of a sewer pipe usually
indicates the function and flow capacity of the sewer. the material
• from which the pipe is constructed depends on the use and soil
conditions for which the pipe is designed.
Table 1 describes the types, sizes and functions of sewer found in
Golden Valley.
Currently, five Metropolitan interceptor facilities lie within the
corporate City limits of Golden Valley (See Map 3) . Of these, only
two are available to carry sewage flow generated in the City. The
interceptors which serve Golden Valley residents, industry and
business community are described below:
1-GV-460: This facility is a 27" - 42" gravity flow reinforced
concrete pipe system which was constructed in 1957 . It
begins at the south boundary of New Hope at Medicine Lake
Road and Rhode Island Avenue and runs south and easterly to
the connection with the Minneapolis Interceptor (1-MN-320)
in the vicinity of T.H. . 55 and Xerxes Avenue. As a gravity
operated sewer, this line is placed at the lowest level in
the area. This low level coincides with Bassett Creek along
much of the sewer line's extent.
Special Consideration:
A forcemain interceptor was constructed to relieve the New
• Hope flow. No longer will New Hope sewage flow utilize the
1-GV-460 interceptor unless the new forcemain breaks. An
emergency valve has been placed on the 1-GV-460 inlet with
-3-
• the City of Golden Valley in full control of its use. The
MWCC entered into an understanding with the City as to when
and to what extent the valve could be used to allow New Hope
flow to enter the system. It was decided that only a
forcemain break justifies the new opening of the emergency
valve.
1-GV-461: This facility is a 30" - 36" gravity flow interceptor with
(Map 2) circular reinforced concrete pipe. It extends from St.
Louis Park boundary at Douglas Avenue and Ortler Pass,
northbound to T.H. 55 at Sunnyridge and continues easterly
along T.H. . 55 until it connects with the 42" RCP
Minneapolis Interceptor (1-MN-320)
This facility provides Metropolitan waste-water disposal
service for St. Louis Park and the southeastern quadrant of
Golden Valley.
These Metropolitan interceptor sewers located in Golden Valley, but
serving the City's surrounding municipalities include:
MSB-71-04 This facility providing Metropolitan interceptor
(Map 2} sewer service for New Hope consists of a sewage pumping
station at the south City limits of New Hope and a 24"
diameter forcemain sewer line which runs south along Rhode
Island Avenue in Golden Valley then east along 23rd Avenue
• until it reaches Pennsylvania Avenue where it runs south
again until it joins the Plymouth forcemain interceptor (1-
PM-468) on T.H. 55.
1-PM-468: This facility is the longest and largest Metropolitan
(Map 2) interceptor in Golden Valley. Golden Valley, however, does
not utilize it. It is a 30" cast iron pipe forcemain
running easterly along T.H. 55 approximately 25, 000 feet in
length. It terminates at the Minneapolis Interceptor (1-MN-
320) at Olson Memorial Highway and Dupont Avenue North.
This facility provides Metropolitan interceptor disposal
sewer service for Medicine Lake, Plymouth and New Hope. In
addition, a new 42" forcemain has been recently installed
adjacent and parallel to 1-PM-468 along T.H. 55. This was
installed by the MWCC to provide added capacity for
developing metro west suburbs.
In summary, Golden Valley�s present interceptor sewer system is of an
adequate design capacity to provide efficient sewer service for the
City's projected population. Although they are of an adequate size,
they will require periodic inspections to determine their functional
capabilities

treated at the Metropolitan Waste Water Treatment Plant (MWWTP) at
Pig's Eye Lake, south of St. Paul along the banks of the Mississippi
river. The plant offers primary and secondary treatment of sewage
before the treated effluent is released and discharged into the river.
F U T U R E P R O J E C T I O N S (TABLE 2 Z
In 1988, the design capacity of the MWWTP was estimated at 250 million
gallons per day (MGD) . Presently, the plant serves a sewered
population of 1.53 million in "Sewer Service Districts 1, 2 and 6.
Locally, it was estimated that the City generates a total average
daily sewage flow of 3 .'� MGD based on the MWCC data (1988) . By 2000,
this flow is forecasted to reach 3.92 MGD or an increase of 200,000
gallons over a 10 year period. This 2000 projection is based on an
anticipated industrial flow of 1.86 MGD and a sewered population of
23 , 000.
The increment between 1990 and 2000 is .20 MGD allocated to the two
� Metropolitan interceptors serving the City as follows:
1-GV-460 0.02 MGD
1-GV-461 0. 18 MGD
Golden Valley's present local sewer system would appear to have the
adequate capacity to handle future flow projections. This is based on
forecasted and planned urban growth patterns expected within the next
10-20 years. However, sewer improvement measures may be required in
order that the existing system remains sound. The system must be
maintained to ensure safe and efficient collection and transportation
of local sewage. Continuing TV monitoring shall be administered. All
critical infrastructure repair needs shall be prioritized and repaired
by replacement or internal repair as needed.

2010 23 , 000 8, 600 89.4 2 . 06 1.95 4.01
The above projections were developed by the City of Golden Valley in
concurrence with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and Met.
Council report Water Resources Management, Part 1, Treatment and
Handlina Policv Plan, 1988.
Since nearly all MWCC forecasts are found to be highly dependent on
the population of a local municipality, it is imperative these figures
undergo periodic revisions based on the changing demographic character
of a community.
• In Golden Valley, current and projected residential development trends
indicate the City may well retain a stable populace or possible
increase. This assumption is based on 5 primary factors which will
become the major determinate in future population projections.
1. Development (residential occurring on any lands presently
. vacant) .
2 . The need to provide an increased number of mid-to-high
density multi-family complex developments in the near
future.
3 . In-migration of families into Golden Valley to take
advantage of the City's relatively close proximity to the
Metropolitan Centers(Locational factors)
4. Preponderance of existing and planned urban designed
freeway transecting the City, allowing easy access and free
movement to major regional employment centers and activity
nodes for Golden Valley residents.
As increase in population would not necessarily strain Golden Valley's
sewer capacity, however. The system is currently used only to about
50� of its capacity, and would, in most locations, be used to only
about 65% of capacity.
•

• F I N D I N G S
Sanitary Sewers•
1. The City's present sanitary sewer is adequate to handle
the current municipal sewage flow.
2 . The placement of future sanitary sewer lines in the City
will be provided on demand as future developments require
sewer delivery systems. However, since Golden Valley is
nearly saturated with development, investments for new
sanitary sewers will not be substantial.
3 . The City's present sewer system will be adequate to carry
the projected 2000 and 2010 sewage flow (See Table 2) .
I M P L E M E N T A T I O N
Objective 1•
The City will continue to enforce the Ordinance prohibiting the
placement and operation of residential on-site disposal systems in the
City.
• Implementation:
1. The City shall develop and implement an enforcement strategy
such that no on-site sewage disposal systems are currently
being used.
2. The City shall enforce in so far as possible the policy that
all abandoned septic tanks shall be filled and safely capped
and secured.
Objective II•
The City shall provide for the maintenance of all locally owned and
operated sanitary sewers.
Implementation: :
1. The City shall continue to identify, repair and monitor
all City owned and operated sanitary sewers which have
infiltration/in flow problems.
2 . The City shall continue to prioritize according to need,
those sewered areas of the City requiring immediate sewer
repairs and/or upgrading.
•
-8-
• 3 . The City shall continue an on-going inspection and
monitoring program aimed at identifying the interior
condition of existing sanitary sewers through the use of
state of the art video equipment.
4. The City shall continue to implement an aggressive sanitary
sewer improvement program directed toward surveying and
repairing sewers found inadequate, particularly in areas of
the City with older sewers. Sewers shall be either replaced
or repaired as required.
5. Although it is forecast that the present sanitary sewer
system will handle future flow adequately, the City shall
continue to monitor the total flow entering the Metropolitan
interceptor system, particularly as large scale
redevelopment occurs.
6. The City shall continue to adjust and coordinate its local
sewage flow with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's
forecasts.
Ob�ective III•
The City will continue to provide sanitary sewer extensions on lands
expected to be developed and redeveloped in the future so long as the
developer, County or State does not provide this service.
• Implementation:
1. The building code includes a clear statement of the
circumstances under which the City will provide sanitary
sewer extensions on lands expected to be developed.
