MINUTES OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY
. PLANNING COMMISSION
April 14, 1986
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held in the Council Chambers
of the Civic Center, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota.
Chairman Prazak called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.
Those present were Commissioners Kapsner, Leppik, Lewis, McAleese, McCracken-Hunt,
Russell and Prazak. Also present were Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and
Development, Alda Peikert, City Planner and Gloria Anderson, Secretary.
I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MARCH 24, 1986
It was moved by Commissioner Kapsner, seconded by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt,
and carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the March 24, 1986 Planning
Commission meeting as recorded.
II. INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: St. Margaret Mary Church
LOCATION: 2225 Zenith Avenue North
REQUEST: Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Day Care
Center in an Institutional Zoning District
• Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked for review of the staff
report. City Planner Alda Peikert briefly reviewed the staff report and
recommended approval of the conditional use permit. Ms. Peikert noted that
they had obtained a Conditional Use Permit in May of 1985 to operate a day care
center in the convent building. Due to the high cost of remodeling the convent
building to meet building codes, the day care facility was no`t completed. This
time the day care center would operate out of the school building.
Commissioners had concerns and questions including traffic in the area, number
of children to be served, hours of operation, need for day care facilities in
Golden Valley, etc.
City Planner Alda Peikert introduced Mr. Mike Kaltenberg, Principal of St.
Margaret Mary School , and Ms. Mary Whelan, Day Care Coordinator for St. Margaret
Mary Church and School . Ms. Whelan stated the day care center would be open
from 6:30 A.M. to 6 P.M. and would have a total of 100 children in different
age groups. Drop-off and pick-up times would be spread over approximately a
two-hour period both in the morning and late afternoon and should not create
- any additional traffic problems. Ms. Whelan indicated that the Church had done
research to help determine the need for day care facilities in Golden Valley.
Chairman Prazak opened the informal public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one,
the hearing was closed.

The consensus of the Commissioners was that there is a need for additional day
care and they fe]t this was a good proposal .
it was moved by Commissioner Leppik, seconded by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt
and motion carried to recommend City Council approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to operate a day care center in the St. Margaret Mary School building
located at 2225 Zenith Avenue North in an Institutional (I-1) Zoning District
subject to the following conditions:
1. The day care facility shall conform to all requirements and recom-
mendations of the City of Golden Valley Building Official and Fire
Marshal .
2. The day care facility shall be licensed by the State of Minnesota and
shall operate in conformance with requirements and provisions of the
State license.
Commissioner McAleese abstained stating he was a member of this parish.
III. REVIEW OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE - SHORELAND MANAGEMENT
ORDINANCE
• Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and requested staff to review the
proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
Commissioners reviewed the Ordinance and recommended several changes. They
were in favor of the Ordinance but felt people along the shorelines in Golden
Valley should be made aware of this proposed Ordinance due to the fact it would
affect them if they were to add on to their homes. Commissioner McAleese felt
this was the wrong process and/or timing to adopt this Ordinance, that it was
being done too quickly.
It was moved by Commissioner Leppik and seconded by Kapsner to recommend City
Council approval of the revised draft of the Shoreland Management Ordinance
with a recommendation that a major effort be made to notify residents along
Bassett Creek and the lakes of the public hearing on this Ordinance by means of
a newspaper article.
A vote was taken and the motion passed by a vote of 6 to 1 with Commissioner
McAleese opposed.
It was also recommended that an article be published in the newspaper on the
proposed Shoreland Management Ordinance. .

RE: Sidewalk Program
In the 1970s, Golden Valley adopted both a sidewalk and trails program. Later
this was reviewed and updated. The staff uses the reports as a basis for recon-
mending specific installation projects each year. At our April 15, 1986 Council
meeting, we reviewed and approved the 1986 construction program. Several mat-
ters came up during the discussion that caused us to decide it was time for
another review. The last review and recommendations were prepared by a commit-
tee composed of two members each from the Planning and Open Space and
Recreation Commissions.
The Council requests each of you to select two members from your Commission
for such a committee. When you have done so, I will set up a rieeting to revierr
the Council suggestions for items to be considered. We are suggesting a review
of the current programs with specific emphasis on needs for sidewalks on I394
f rontage roads.
• Thank you for your help in this matter. I would appreciate hearing from you
after your next Commission meetings.
