T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission �
FROM: Alda Wilkinson, City Planner
SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat of Valley Village
Jax Addition
The owners of Jax Cafe, John and William Kozlak, request approval of the
Preliminary Plat of Valley Village Jax Addition, which adjusts the property
line between the Jax Cafe property and the adjacent Valley Village Apartments
property in accordance with the court settlement of a property line dispute.
The new southerly property line of the Jax Cafe site curves to the southwest to
include the perimeter of paved parking area utilized by Jax Cafe.
The change in the property line does not involve any physical change in the
improvements on the Jax Cafe and Valley Village Apartment sites. The adjusted
• lot line more accurately reflects existing usage of the property by the Jax
Cafe and Valley Village Apartments.
The Jax Cafe and Valley Village sites are both nonconforming in terms of
setback of paving from property lines. The Jax Cafe property is paved for
parking to the property line on three sides of the site. On the Valley Village
� Apartments site, paved drive is located directly along the westerly property
line. Neither site complies with required landscaped setback requirements.
The proposed plat of Valley Village Jax Addition does not affect the noncon-
formities in setback.
The Jax Cafe property is previously unplatted. In order to clarify title, the
Jax Cafe owners initiated torrens proceedings to register the property at
Hennepin Gounty at the same time that they requested plat approval from the
City of Golden Valley. City -staff encouraged platting at the same time as
registration in order to clarify and simplify the property description. The
City Attorney informs Planning staff that registration with Hennepin County
wi11 assist in accomplishing title work required for the plat and suggests that
the torrens proceeding be completed prior to approval of the Final Plat.
Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of
the Preliminary Plat of Valley Village Jax Addition, which clarifies property
descriptions drawn in accordance with court order. Title examination by the
City Attorney is required prior to approval of the Final Plat. The City
Attorney suggests that as soon as the owners receive the court order showing
that the property is registered, a Registered Property Abstract be ordered and
submitted for his review.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission -
FROM: Alda Wilkinson, City Planner
SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat of Gruskin
Gardens Second Addition
Mr. Stanley Kugler, owner of the house at 4240 Glenwood Avenue and of a vacant
lot at 4250 Gle�wood Avenue, and Dr. Herbert Polesky and Ms. Susan Lentz, owners
of the house at 4270 Glenwood Avenue, request approval of the Preliminary Plat of
Gruskin Gardens Second Addition, which adjusts the property lines of the three
lots to expand the size of the lot owned by Dr. Polesky and Ms. Lentz.
It is the understanding of Planning staff that Mr. Kugler planned to initiate
replatting of his property to create two vacant single family lots, rather than
the currently existing one vacant lot, fronting on Glenwood Avenue. In order to
prevent construction of a new home directly adjacent to their property, Dr. Polesky
and Ms. Lentz propose to purchase from Mr. Kugler area to the east of their
current property. The additional area will be combined with the Polesky/Lentz
� lot at 4270 Glenwood Avenue, rather than platted as a separate buildable lot, and .
will be maintained as undeveloped open space. Mr. Kugler proposes to create a
newly delineated vacant single family lot to the east of the currently existing
vacant lot. In order to do this, Mr. Kugler has reduced the size of his own
residential lot and proposes to maintain only a 30 foot frontage on Glenwood
Avenue for access to his residence located to the rear of the property.
Mr. Kugler's current access drive, water service connection line, and sanitary
sewer service connection line cross property proposed for platting as the new
vacant single family residential lot at 4250 Glenwood Avenue and as a �portion of
� the Polesky/Lentz lot at 4270 Glenwood Avenue. Mr. Kugler states intent to
reconstruct his access drive over the 30 foot wide access strip to Glenwood
Avenue maintained as part of his lot. Mr. Kugler states that he intends to
maintain easements over the other lots for his existing water and sanitary sewer
service lines. It appears that locations of the lines would constrain
development possibilities on the proposed vacant lot. However, this is a matter
for private agreement between the property owners involved. It is necessary that
documentation of the easements be provided prior. to approval of the Final Plat.
The proposed plat of Gruskin Gardens Second Addition alters the location of the
vacant lot available for future construction of a single family residence, but it
does not increase the number of available new home sites at this time. Creation
of a second new lot out of the area currently proposed for combination with the
Polesky/Lentz property is a future possibility.
Planning staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Council
� approval of the Preliminary Plat of Gruskin Gardens Second Addition subject to
the following conditions:
Golden Valley Planning Commission
� July 8, 1987
Page 2
1. Reconstruction of the access drive for the residence at 4240
Glenwood Avenue entirely on proposed Lot 1 and removal ofi the
drive from proposed Lots 2 and 3.
2. Documentation of easements by separate instrument for water and
� sanitary sewer connections to the residence on proposed Lot 1 over
proposed Lots 2 and 3. -
3. Provision of standard drainage and utility easements ten feet in
width along street right-of-way lines and six feet in width along-
all other property lines.

T0: Metropolitan Area Local Officials and Citizens
FROM: Steve Keefe, Metropolitan Couneil Chair
SUBJECT: An Invitation to Participate in Planning for the Region's Future
Decisions about our physical systems and h�an services are being made right
now that will shape the region we live in by the year 2000 and beyond. When we
make these decisions--about water quality, transit, long-term care, housing--we '
are affecting our future. Solving today's problems requires that we have a
better idea of where we're going in order to know what �re should do now.
As a result, the Metropolitan Council has stepped up its strategie planning
work this year. Our aim is to develop, with your help, a broadly shared vision
of the region�s future, and to use it as a tY�amework for making today's
decisions without precluding our future options. This "vision" doesn•t mean a
� planned city of the future or anything like that. It's not to plan how people
will live their lives, but to keep our options open and be prepared Por
different contingencies. This approach has kept us strong and versatile in the
p3st.
To work, a regional vision must be shared broadly. It must refleet what many
different se�ents of our population want. IP our aim is to ensure that the
government services people want are there in the next 20 to 30 years, we need
to lmow now what kinds oF lives we'll want to be living then.
An inportant part of the Council's work over the next few years will be to
work with others in the region to diseover and present various possibilities
and options. What kinds of �obs will be needed? What kinds of lifestyles will
people want? What kind of education? We plan to work with many citizens of
the region, ineluding local governments, business, labor, nonprofit
organizations, eivie groups and groups with special needs. As we develop a
shared concept of �ust what it is that people want for the region, we ean make
decisions aimed at creating it.
At strategic planning retreats in March and May, the Council raised a number
of potential long-range coneerns for the region. The list is broad, covering
everything from our prized quality of life--especially as it affects the
region's human resourees--to financial resources for the infY�astructure, to
preparing Far another energy erisis. We hope you and your organization will
take time to give the Couneil feedbaek on this initial list of coneerns
identified at the retreat (which are not in any special order):
