Z1D: Golden Valley Planning Com�ission
FROM: Alda Wilkinson, City Planner
SUBJDCT: Informal Public Hearing - Prelimir�.ry Design Plan for Amendment
to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Ar�dition
Bacic�round
Mr. Ronald J. Schneck, purcha.ser and current owner of the former Golden Valley Fire
Station No. 2 property located at 1001 Lilac Drive North, requests approval of the
Preliminary Desigti Plan for an Amendment to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition.
The amendment proposes construction of a 10,500 square-foot office building in place
of a previously approved duplex develop�ent.
Mr. Schneck purcha.sed the property from the City August 27, 1981, and the ariginal
PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition, was approved by the City Coimcil October 1,
1984. The originally approved PiJD for the 1.5 acre site proposed development of
� eight residential units arranged in four duplexes. The duplexes were divided by
zero lot line division for eight separate ownership units on eight lots.
In April 1986 City staff received from the Ma.nnesota Department of �ansportation
(MnDOT) preliminary plans for improvement of the Lindsay Street intersection with
Highway 100 which require acquisition of a portion of Mr. Schneck's property for
right-of-way. The intersection improvement, scheduled for construction in 1988,
affects three of the four duplexes on the originally approved PUD site plan.
Attached are reductions of the originally approved PUD #43 site plan and of the
preliminary intersection improvement plans prepared by MnDOT.
In response to MnDOT plans, Mr. Schneck approached City Planning staff i.n August
1986 concerning construction of an office building on the site remaining after MnDOT
right-of-way acquisition. Mr. Schneck's current business location, an office
building located northeast of Glenwood Avenue and Highway 100 at 5000 Glenwood, is
scheduled for acx�uisition by MnDdr for Highway 100 upgrading associated with the
I-394 freeway project. Mr. Schneck proposes construction of a replacement building
on the 1001 Lilac Drive Narth site.
Proposal
The applicant, Mr. Ronald Schneck, proposes tfl acco�odate future MnDOT right-of-way
requirements for the Lindsay Street/Highway 100 access i.mprovement project by
platting the future right-of�ay as an outlot reserved for MnDOT acquisition.
Future right-of-way, platted as Outlot A on the Preliminary Plat, has an area of
15,682 square feet or .36 acres. The remaining construction site, Lot 1, Block 1,
� on the Preliminary Plat, is 49,658 square fe�t or 1.14 acres in area. The remainir�
p�a.rcel is minimal is size for office use and is irregular in shape.
s

Mr. Schneck proposes construction of a s�ll office building 10,500 square feet in
aize. The building is two stories in height with 5,254 square feet of space on each
level. Parking provided for 42 cars exactly meets the Ordinance requirement of one
sp�ce per 250 square feet of floor area. Bu�lding Design and exterior materials
were selected for residential cha.racter aml co�p�tibility with surrowzdi.ng residen-
tial development.
An earlier site plan submitt� for Planning sta.ff review placed the building along
the west property line in close proximity to adjacent single-family residential
development. In response to sta.ff expression of concern over imp�ct on the residen-
tial neighborhood, Mr. Schneck revised the site plan to place the building to the
southeast on the site for maximum separation from single faa►ily residence to the
west ar�d north. '
Setback of parking from the north and west p�operty lines meets the Zoning Code
requirement of 25 feet in the case of office use ad,jacent to single-family residen-
tial use. The building setback substantiallg� exceeds the 50 feet from ad,ja.cent
single family residential required by the Zoning Code. The buildin� and parking
setbacks from the Lindsay Street right-of-way conform to the 35-foot setback require-
ment from street ri�ht-of-way lines. On the east side of the property, the building
and pe.rking area encroa.ch into the required 35-foot front yard in two locations:
� The southeast corner of the building is 33 feet fr� the right-of-way, and a corner
of the paa�king lot is 25 feet from the right-of-way. In each case, it is a corner
only which encroaches into the yard. Due to the curve of the frontage road along
the east side of the site, green space exceesis that provided by compliance with
minimal requirements, and landscaped yartl along the frontage road is more than
sa.tisfactory. Planning sta.ff recommends favorable consideration of the two setback
variances incorparated into the proposed site plan.
Planning staff reaction is favorable to use of the property for a small office
building. The use is appropriate adjacent to Highway 100 and provides a buffer
between the upgraded Lindsay/Highway 100 intersection and adjacent single-family
residential development to the north and west. The daytime nature of office use and
small building size serve to minimize impact on the single-family residential to the
north atxi west and on the two-familv residential across Lind.say to the south.
In a.ddition, staff appreciates developer initiative in providing for future right-
of-way needs and adjusting to the site constraints ianposed by future NlnDO`P plans to
upgrade the intersection.
Conditions
Attached is a review letter received fr�n MnDd!' which indicates need for additional
future rightrof-way to accomtaodate the curve from the frontage road onto Lindsay
Street. The botu�dary line between the lot for office construction and the outlot
reserved for right-of-way requires adjust�nt to provide for the curve. This
� adjustment should be i.ncorporated into the PllD General Plan of Development, the
second phase of the PUD approval process.

The City Fire Marshal's review of the propos�l notes need for posti.ng of fire lanes
and for inclusion of eacit lights, fire extin�uishers, an exterior key box, arxi a
complete fire alarm system on construction plans. In addition, the Fire Marshal
strongly recom�nends that the building be sprinklered. The Fire Marshal markeii plans
with the locations of fire lanes, extinguishers, key box and exit li�hts, and these
plans will be forwarded to the applicant for incorporation of the required modifica-
tians.
The City Comprehensive Iand Use Plan indicates long-term low density residential use
for the subject property. Amendment of the PUD for office use constitutes a char�e
in land use requiring amendment of the Comprehensive Plan within a rea.sonable period
of ti.me. Amendment of the Coanprehensive Plan may be coordinated with PUD General
Plan of Develop�nt approval.
lZecommendation
Based on compatibility with surrounding land uses and acco�noda.tion to MnDOT plans
for itnprovement of the Lindsay Street intersection with Highway 100, Plannin� staff
suggests that the Planning Connr►ission recomanend City Coimcil approval of the
Preliminary Design Plan for an Amendment to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition,
� subject to the following conditions:
1. The boundary line of Outlot A shall be adjusted on the PtID General Plan
of Develo�xnent to accommodate the curb ra�iius of the curve from the future
frontage road onto Lindsay Street.
2. 0� the Fina.l Plat, ten-foot drainage and utility easements sha.11 be
provided along the frontage roa.d and Lindsay Street property lines, and
six-foot dra.inage and utility easements shall be provided along north and
west property lines, as required in the City Subdivision Regulations.
3. Utility service connections to watermain and sanitary sewer Iines
available in the public right-of-way sha]ll be the responsibility of the
developer.
4. An additional tree, either a minimum of 2 1/2 inches in diameter if
deciduous or a minimwa of six feet in he�ght if coniferous, shall be
included on the Landscape Plan for a minamum of eleven major or over-story
trees, as required by the City Landscape Standards. Landscaping shall
conform to all requirements of the City Laridscape Standards, the Building
Bo�ard of Review, and the City Building Inspector.
5. Parking area ar�d drive shall be sep�rated from landscaped area by six-inch
concrete curb.
6. Fire lanes shall be posted as specified by the City Fire Marshal.
� 7. The structure shall comply with all requarements of the City Fire Marshal.

We have reviewed the above referenced preliminary plat as it relates to our proposed
future construction on T.H. 100. It appears that the centerline of our proposed west
� frontage road realignment is located approximately 25' inside the west boundary of
Outlot "A." Our plans would be to turn the frontage road back to the city once it is
completed. Therefore, if the city would be satisfied with a 25' right-of-way width
for the frontage, it appears acceptable.
� There are two other items of concern:
1. It will be necessary to encroach on Lot I to construct the future frontage raad.
We have shown approximate construction limits which are based on the inplace
ground elevations (see attached drawing). These limits could change depending
upon how the lot is graded when development occurs.
2. Additional right-of-way will be needed at the intersection of the proposed front-
age road and Lindsay Street in order to accommodate the curb radius (see attached
drawing).
It should be noted that a layout was submitted to the city engineer for review and
approval and this review should be discussed with him. If you have any questions
in regard to this review, please contact me.
Sincerely,
��� `' S��LC.t�,.
Evan R. Green

SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearings - Amended Conditional Use Permit for
Addition to Midas Muffler and �ne-Up Shop at 2520 Winnetka Avenue
and Preliminary Plat of the Hendrickson Addition
Mr. Stephen Hendrickson, owner of the buildiuzg at 2520 Winnetka Avenue where
the Midas Muffler and Precision 11,me are loc�ted, has requested both approval
of a preliminary plat and an amerxied conditional use permit. His proposal is
to purchase the va.cant A & W Resta.urant nort� of his 2520 Winnetka Avenue
building. He would then tear down the A & W building and add to the north end
of his 2520 Winnetka Avenue building for an auto tra.nsmission shop and auto
glass shop.
Descriution of Subdivision (Lot Consolidation)
Mr. Hendrickson proposes to consolidate the site where the 2520 Winnetka
building is located with the lot on which the former A & W is located. The
� tota.l area of the property to be consolidated is 1.51 acres or 65,800 square
feet. The existing 2520 Winnetka building is located on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1,
Terra Linda Pla.za, and is .89 acres or 38,800 square feet in area. Lot 1,
Block 1, Terra Linda Plaza, on which the former A & W is located, is .62 acres
or 27,000 square feet in area. (See enclosed survey which serves as the
preliminary plat.)
T�e primary reason for the consolidation of the lots is to maximize the emount
of building that may be constructed on the lot. Mr. Hendrickson first
discussed a sep�.rate building on the A & W percel. However, it was difficult
to place a large enough building for his purposes on the lot while maintaining
the side yard setba.ck between the 2520 Winnetka building and the proposed
buildi.ng. By combining the property into one p�rcel and making an addition to
the north end of the existing building, a greater amount of the property may be
utilized for building and psrking.
Description of Amended Conditional Use Permit
The proposed addition to the Midas Muffler/Precision Tune building requires a
conditional use permit because the property is zoned Co�ercial ar� within that
district suto service uses require a conditional use permit. Mr. Heridrickson
proposes to use the proposed building for auto service uses, probably a
transmission repair and replacement shop and an auto glass shop. The building
additian will ha,ve a total of 6,988 square feet with nine service bays. The
existing building has nine service bays and 6,276 square feet of space.
� Mr. Hendrickson will own the entire complex arxi lease the sp�ce ta the various
service providers except for the Midas Muffler shop that he owns.

Conformance With Zonin� Code Reauirements
A. Setbacks
The proposed site plan for the amended conditional use permit indicates that
the site conforms to front and side yard requirements, including a 35-foot
landscaped front yard, and the 10-foot landscaped setback from the north.
Along the rear property line the ten-foot required landscaped setback would be
maintained along the northeast side at the parking lot. However, the existing
seven-foot landscaped setback along the rear of the existing 2520 Winnetka
building will be maintained as approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals when the
2520 Winnetka building was approved in 1985.
B. Parking
The proposed site indicates a total of 70 parking spaces for the site. This is
nine sp�ces short of the required ?9 spaces for this type of use. The Zoning
Code requires four sp�ces for each service bay, one space for each employee and
one space for each service truck. Mr. Hendrackson has attached an explanation
regarding the proposed amaunt of pe.rking.
�om the experience the staff has seen with the Precision T�ne and Midas
Muffler and other service uses in Golden Valley such as Gooc�year on Highway 55,
� the amount of parking proposed at the site will be adequate. The parking lots
for both sides of the building are connected so that either side of the lot may
be used by customers or employees of any of the businesses.
The parking required for an auto service use is greater t.han for both office or
retail sprace. For instance, if the total building axea proposed by Mr. Hendrickson
was converted to retail space, the parking required would be about 70 cars. If
the building were converted to office spe�ce, the parking required would be 53
cars. Therefore, if the building is ever converted to another allowable use in
the Zoning District, parking will be adequate with the ?0 spaces provided on the
site.
C. Findings
Section 20.03 of the Zoning Code provides that in considering a corbditional use
permit application, the Planning Com�ission shall make findings and recom�enciations
to the City Council based on ten items. bcamination of the proposed amended
conditional use permit for an additiona.l 6,988 square feet of suto service use
added to the north end of the existing 2520 Winnetka Avenue building in view of
these ten items follows:
1. Demonstrated need for the proposed use.
Staff suggests that determination of need is satisfied by the app�rent
determina.tion of market demarid by the p�oponent.
�
Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 8, 1987
� Pa�e 3
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Comprehensive Larid Use Plan Map in the Land Use element of the
adopted City of Golden Valley Comprehensive Pla.n designates long term
Com�nercial use of the subject property. The propased use is appropriate
to the existing Co�ercial zoning, which conforms to the Comprehensive
Plan designation.
3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area..
The subject site is surrounded by Commercial zoning. The adjacent
property to the north is the loca.tion of a gas station. The adjacent
property to the south is the location of the Town Crier Restaurant.
Property to the rear of the site to the east is var.ant land belonging
to the VFW and zoned Comnercial. The VFW site is the lacation of the
seasona.l farmers market sponsored by the City of Golden Valley, and the
VFW has consulted in the past with City sta.ff concerning possible future
canstruction of a VFW hall on the site. The subject property fronts on
Winnetka Avenue North, and a small office building zoned Business and
Professional Offices is lacated across �he street from the site.
The additional auto services uses are compatible with surro�ing l.and
uses and zoning and would not adversely impact surrounding property values.
� 4. Effect of any anticip�ted traffic generation upon the current traffic
flow and congestion in the area..
Access to the site is by means of two curb cuts off of Winnetka Avenue
North. The proponent explains that many of the customers of services,
Midas Muffler shop, and the tune up/quick oil charige facility, will wait
during car servicing, resulting in low traffic flow throughout working
hours. There would be no heavy pe,ak hour traffic, and the proposed use
would not adversely affect current traffic flow or congestion i.n the
area.. The proposed transmission shop ancl suto glass shop should not be
significantly different in their traffi� generation.
5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land
uses.
There would be no increases in population or density.
6. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use.
The proponent describes both proposed operations as light service
functions. The Midas Muffler and tune up/quick oil change operations
do not entail the heavy rep�air work and equipme.nt associated with
general automobile repair arbd would not generate noise levels ob�trusive
to surrounding uses. The auto trRnam�ssion shop will have all work
� done inside atxi obtrusive noise levels are not anticipated. The auto
glass business is not noisy and much of the work is done off site.
Golden Valley Planning Comaission
April 8, 1987
� Page 4
7. Any odors, dust, smake, gas or vibration to be caused by the proposed use.
The Midas Muffler, tune up/quick oil change operations, t���ssion
shop and auto glass shop would not involve the heavier equipment and
materials associated with �eneral automobile repair and would not cause
odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration.
8. Any increa.se in flies, rats, or other animals or vermin in the area to
be caused by the proposed use.
The proposed use would not result in any increase in flies, rats of
other ani.mals or vermin in the area.
9. Visual appearance of any proposed struc�ure or use.
The addition of a new building in place of the vaca.nt A & W would
considerably improve the current unmaintained and deteriorated
appearance of the vacant building and site. Mr. Hendrickson has done
an excellent job on the Midas Muffler and Precision �Zne building. The
proposed addition would be of the same quality.
10. Any other effect upon the general public health, safety and welfare of
the City and its residents.
! Staff foresees no other effects on the general public health, safety
atid welfare.
Reco�endation on Amended Conditional Use Permit and Preliminarv Plat
�e Planning sta.ff has reviewed the proposed auto service addition to the exist-
in� building at 2520 Winnetka Avenue North. After reviewing the ten factors
for reviewing a conditional use permit request, the staff recaa�►P.nds favorably.
Mr. Hendrickson has a proven record of quali�y building in Golden Valley and
other communities. He ha,s been very cooperative with the City sta.ff and done
everything he has said he would do in the completion of the 2520 Winnetka A�renue
building. Because he will be the owner of the entire building, he will carefully
select the tenants for the building. He has assured me that the transmission
repair shop will be a quality operation that will be neat and orderly.
Zhe staff re�o�nerids approval of an amended conditional use permit with the
following conditions:
1. AlI conditions four�d in Canditional Use lPermit 85-24 (atta.ched) shall
be maintained except that the site plan dated March 31, 1987 prepared
by Bruce W. Schmitt &. Associates for G.A.S. N Incorporated shall be
substituted for the previous site plan dated Ma.y 28, 1985.
2. The 6,988 square foot north addition with nine service bays may be
� used for transmission rep�ir and replacement and auto glass replacement
or si.milar auto services uses excluding auto or truck engine overhauls,
body work or painting.

In order to allow the addition on the building, the three lots must be consoli-
da.ted into a new plst. The survey that has been submitted by Mr. Hendrickson
ar�d prep�ared by Coffin & Gronberg, Inc. , dated March 19, 198�, will serve as
the preliminary plat. The staff has reviewed the survey arxl is recomnending
approval of it as the preli.minary plat of Hendrickson Addition. The plat meets
the requirements of the subdivision code. Since the plat dces not require any
new streets, the survey is adequate for a plat with the understanding that all
property lines will be eliminated on the final pl.at.

Golden Valley, r4n. 55k27
Dear Sirs:
I'm writing regarding my proposed redevelopnent of the A&k' site at 25k0 h'innetka
Ave. N. The attached site plan and building proposal illustrates mv plan for de�olition
of the existing building and construction of an e�ctension of my existing A'_idas P•4uffler/
Precision Tune building located next door.
In order to make economic sense of this develop�ent and to integrate the new buildin�
with the existing one we have designed a building similar to the existing IGidas/Precision
Tune facing the opposite direction. This proposed addition falls slightly short of your
required parking space count. Fortunately this is not a problem due to the type o�'
services a center of this type will offer. Each of the businesses has a different
seasonality so the peak parkin� requirements of each occurs at a different time of tr�e
year. D:any pf the services are perforre� while the customer waits which also reduces
the storage parking need a.nd lastly the service bays inside the building are parking
stalls as well as service bays. The existin� t:idas/Precision Tune has experience�
� no parking problen with a similax situation and in fact usually has an abundance of
available space.
I hope my proposal meets with your approval. It should be a big improver�ent over the
existin� abandoned building. I a�:. ready to start construction as soon as I receive
city approvals.
Lastly, since I'n also the owner of the b:idas business as well as the buildin�
owner/developer I'a concerned that we have adequate parying since a shortage would be
detrinental to �y own business. I would not propose a plan which would adversely affect
operations.
As you can see by the proposal I am not requesting any other special considerations.
I hope this one is acceptable to the city.
Since opening for business in Zfay '86 the AS3das/Frecision Tune has been very
successful. I've found Golden Valley to be a great place to do business. Hopefull�r
this expansion will be a plus for the existin6 businesses and a positive ir�prove:aent
for the city as well.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Com ssio
FROM: Alda Wilkinson, City Planner
SUBJECT: Year 2010 Vision Workshop
Date and Time
The Planning Commission Year 2010 Vision Workshop is scheduled for Saturday,
May 9, 1987, from 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. in the Senior Center Room at the
Brookview Community Center. Rolls and coffee will be provided.
uestion
The question to be addressed at the workshop is: How would the Planning
Commission like Golden Valley to be in the Year 2010?
Product
The product anticipated from the workshop is a list of statements of how the
Planning Commission would like Golden Valley to be in the Year 2010. The list
of statements will provide Planning staff with an outline for preparation of
the Year 2010 Vision narrative.
� Vision statements should be:
1. Accomplishments as of the Year 2010
2. Choices (Choices to commit, choices to encourage, choices to discourage,
choices in use of resources, or choices in use of controls)
3. Accomplishments requiring City action
4. Potentially feasible �
5. Priority focus areas
Vision statements should not be:
1. Forecasts or trends
2. Means of accomplishing the vision
3. City or Planning Commission action items
4. All inclusive
Preparation for Workshop
The list of Year 2010 planning items requir�s finalization in preparation for
the workshop. Attached is the revised list prepared by Planning Commission
Committee on Tuesday, March 31, 1987. Staff made further modifications to
uniformly state all items as accomplishments rather than actions.
It is the feeling of Planning staff that preparation of detailed background
sheets on each Year 2010 planning item is premature and would tend to stifle
� rather than stimulate discussion leading to a Year 2010 Vision.

Workshop Agenda
I. Review of Year 2010 Planning Items
Review each item to determine whether the Planning Commission wants to
see it in Year 2010 or how it could be restated to match what the
Planning Commission wants to see in Year 2010.
Questions to answer on each Year 2010 planning item:
1. What is it? (Define it)
2. What would the opposite or absence of it be?
3. What is the perceived need?
4. Do �e want it?
5. At first glance, is there a chance of accomplishing it?
6. Does it require City action?
Does the City have to make a commitment or choice to accomplish it?
Does the City have any control over whether it happens?
Would it happen without City action?
II. Prioritization of Year 2010 Planning Items
� Prioritize Year 2010 Planning items remaining after review.
Prioritize according to importance or desirability, not according to
feasibility, time frame, or cost in resources.
Prioritize first within categories and then without regard to
categories.
III. Selection of Top Priority Items
IV. Review for Conflicts
Review priority items for conflicts and modify the list accordingly.
V. Finalization of List of Priority Year 2010 Vision Statements
Use of Vision Statements
The Year 2010 Vision Statements will provide an outline for preparation of the
Year 2010 Vision narrative comprising the initial chapter of the City Comprehen-
sive Plan Update. Planning staff sees the Year 2010 Vision as a picture of
Golden Valley in the future based on the collective general knowledge and
intuition of the Planning Commission, not based on facts and figures or on
detailed feasibility analysis. The Year 2010 Vision will provide an overall
guide for completion of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
