PLANNING COMMISSION July 14, 1986 A regular meeting of the Golden Valley 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, MacAleese, McCracken- Hunt, Prazak and Russell . Also present were Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development, and Alda Peikert, City Planner. I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JUNE 23, 1986 It was moved by Commissioner Kapsner, seconded by Commmissioner McCracken-Hunt and carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the June 23, 1986 Planning Commission meeting as recorded. II. WAIVER OF THE PLATTING ORDINANCE APPLICANT: C. Dwight and Carolyn H. Townes LOCATION: 4117 Glenwood Avenue North and 16 Meadow Lane South • REQUEST: Five-foot adjustment of property line Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked staff to summarize the staff report. City Planner Alda Peikert reviewed the request and answered questions. Chairman Prazak asked the proponent, Dr. Townes, whether he wished to add anything to the staff report. Dr. Townes stated that he did not have anything to add to information provided by staff, but he did have a question on setback requirements. Staff answered the proponent's questions concerning setbacks. It was moved by Commissioner Leppik, seconded by Commisioner Kapsner and carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of waiver of the Platting Ordinance to allow division of the property at 4117 Glenwood Avenue for transfer of a five-foot strip to the property at 16 Meadow Lane South. III. REVIEW OF PROPOSED SUBDIVISION APPLICANT: Harvey Glorvick LOCATION: 7001 Olson Highway REQUEST: Review of Proposed Subdivision Plan � . Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission � July 14, 1986 Page 2 • Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked for a review of the staff report. Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes explained alternative proposals for division of the subject property and answered questions from Commissioners. Commissioner Leppik expressed the opinion that Harold Avenue should not be extended through to Glenwood Avenue at the expense of Mr. Glorvick in view of the fact that Mr. Glorvick does not want the street and in view of the fact that the extended street is not required for access to Mr. Glorvick's proposed new lot or lots. Commissioner Leppik further suggested that the expense of completing the street could be more than the value of one newly created lot and that extension of the street would not be reasonable from a cost standpoint. Commissioner Kapsner expressed agreement with Commissioner Leppik's opposition to requiring extension of Harold Avenue. Commissioner Kapsner stated that based on opposition to through streets in his own neighborhood, he would assume that neighbors on Harold Avenue would be opposed to completion of Harold through to Glenwood Avenue. Commissioner McCracken-Hunt observed that it appeared that the C�ty had lost an option for extension of Harold Avenue when it sold a lot on the south side which might have served as right-of-way for extension of the street. Commissioner McCracken-Hunt stated that if the street were connected to Glenwood, she would prefer to see the street curve southward to meet Glenwood at a right angle. � Chairman Prazak stated the opinion that it is reasonable to require street construction at the expense of the developer in the case of a major new sub- division which creates a number of new lots, but that it is not reasonable to require street construction in this situation where the developer proposes creation of preferably only one and possibly two new lots. Commissioner Russell stated that the addition of one or two lots in the neigh- borhood served by Harold Avenue will not change a street situation which is satisfactory to the current neighborhood. Commissioner Russell observed that no change would be made in the street situation unless Mr. Glorvick proposed development of his property and that the current dead-end street situation would continue indefinitely without apparent problems for the neighborhood. Chairman Prazak asked Mr. Glorvick whether he would like to speak to the issue. Mr. Glorvick made the following comments: Mr. Glorvick suggested that extension of Harold Avenue directly west to Glenwood Avenue as shown on one of the sketches would result in accidents due to the angle of intersection with Glenwood. Mr. Glorvick stated that he preferred division of his property to create one large new lot rather than two smaller lots due to the fact that the large lot would be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and with the character of the City of Golden Valley. � � Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission July 14, 1986 � Page 3 Mr. Glorvick stated that he desires to divide his property at this time in order to put it to use. Mr. Glorvick suggested that the lot to the south recently sold by the City when no longer required for ponding after storm sewer construction may still be available if desired for street right-of-way, because the new owner was surprised at the cost of fill required for building. Mr. Glorvick explained that his reason for proposing development at this time is that he recently retired and now not only has time to give to the project but also is more interested in measures to reduce his property taxes. Mr. Glorvick confirmed that other residents in his neighborhood are opposed to connection of Harold Avenue with Glenwood Avenue. In response to a question regarding concerns of Engineering and Public °Safety staff, Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes stated that the City Engineer, Director of Public Safety, and Fire Marshal all prefer completion of Harold Avenue to Glenwood Avenue to provide two access points for emergency vehicles and to allow elimination of dead-end uti1ities. � Commissioner McCracken-Hunt suggested retention of an easement for emergency vehicle access only. Mr. Grimes stated that he was doubtful that such an arrangement would be satisfactory due to maintenance problems, but that it could be further explored with the Engineering and Public Safety Departments. Commissioner Leppik asked whether a cul-de-sac would be required if Harold Avenue is not connected to Glenwood Avenue. Mr. Grimes confirmed that there would be a need to acquire right-of-way for a cul-de-sac. Chairman Prazak summarized input from the Planning Commission and made the following points: The Planning Commission does not support completion of Harold Avenue straight through to Glenwood Avenue. If Harold Avenue is connected to Glenwood Avenue, consensus of the Planning Commission is that Harold should curve to the south to intersect at a right angle. It is the consensus of the Planning Commission that extension of Harold Avenue should not be at the expense of Mr. Glorvick. The Planning Commission feels that the City should consider the wishes of the property owner and the neighborhood residents and not complete Harold through to Glenwood. � Chairman Prazak stated that he personally supports coming to a resolution on the question of connection of Harold Avenue with Glenwood Avenue. i � Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission July 14, 1986 � Page 4 Mr. Grimes suggested that Mr. Glorvick proceed with preparation of a preliminary plat based on direction received through informal Planning Commission review of the proposed property division. IV. SET DATE FQR INFORMAL' PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: City of Golden Valley LOCATTON: 8175 Lewis Road REQUEST: Approval of Preliminary Plat of "Valley Square Third Addition" Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes informed the Commission that the City of Golden Valley intends to plat the new site of the Hennepin Co-op Seed Exchange and property directly to the south in order to expand the Seed Exchange site. The Planning Commission agreed by consensus to set an informal public hearing date of July 28, 1986 for consideration of the Preliminary Plat of "Valley Square Third Addition." V. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 1, 1986 � Commissioner Kapsner provided the Planning Commission with a report on the July l, 1986 City Council meeting. VI. REPORT ON HRA MEETING - JULY 8, 1986 Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes provided the Planning Commission with a report on the July 8, 1986 meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). VII. REPORT ON BZA MEETINGS - JUNE 30, 1986 AND JULY 8, 1986 Commissioner Leppik provided the Planning Commission with reports on the June 30, 1986 and July 8, 1986 meetings of the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). VIII. WORK/STUDY SESSION At 8:15 P.M. the Planning Commission moved to the Manager's Conference Room for a work/study session on Golden Valley in the Year 2010. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, • Gary Prazak, Chairman Linda McCracken-Hunt, Secretary � July 23, 1986 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Quinn Addition John Quinn is proposing the subdivision of his property at 4800 Drake Road in the northeast section of Golden Valley. The proposed subdivision includes two lots. Lot 1 is the vacant north lot and Lot 2 is the south lot where the Quinn home is located. The existing Quinn lot is a "through lot" or one that has frontage on two streets - Drake Road and 34th Avenue North. The attached survey serves as• the preliminary plat. The survey shows the existing Quinn house at 4800 Drake Road which is located on Lot 2. Lot 1 is now the Quinn's rear yard. �'he survey indicates the location of a future house on Lot 1. The two lots in the proposed subdivision are slightly under the area required in the Zoning Code. The Code requires that lots be a minimum of 10,000 square feet in area. Both lots are essentially the same size. Lot 1 is 9,780 square feet in area and Lot 2 is 9,738 square feet in area. A future house may be � built on Lot 1 (as shown on the survey) that will meet or exceed all setback requirements and require no variances to build. The lot on which the Quinn house is built meets all setback requirements. The proposed subdivision is consistent with other single family development in the neighborhood. The four houses to the west and the three houses to the east are on lots that have the same width (100 feet) but are deeper. The house on Lot 1 would be built at the same setback as the housesto the west and east. The only difference would be that the rear yar'd on the Lot 2 house is less deep than the yards to the east and west. The staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of th� Quinn Addition with the condition that all necessary drainage and utility easements along lot lines are granted to the City as per the City Engineer's di:ection. This recommendation is made with the realization that the:::: lots are about 250 square feet short in square footage. The proposed new loi: (Lot 1) is adequate in size to allow a house to be built which is more than udequate in size and does not need variances in order to be built. In addit�on, the Quinn property has 100 feet of frontage on 34th Avenue North which provides for a logical location for another lot. The creating of this additioi�al lot will provide another reasonably priced, "infill" single family lot in Golden Valley where land is at a premium. • Attachments: 1. Survey 2.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Valley Square Third Addition The City of Golden Valley and the Hennepin Co-Op Seed Exchange are the owners of the property that will become Valley Square Third Addition. As you may recall , the Planning Commission and City Council approved the rezoning of the property that is to become Valley Square Third Addition. The rezoning was from Industrial to Commercial to allow the building and property at the southwest � corner of Tenth Avenue North and Lewis Road to be used as the new home of the Seed Exchange. (The Seed Exchange has now been in the new location for over a month. ) At about the same time as the rezoning, the City of Golden Valley purchased from Nortronics, Inc. all of Lot 11 and the south 25 feet of Lot 10, Becon Addition, in order to obtain the necessary right-of-way for the extension of Wisconsin Avenue north of Bassett Creek to Tenth Avenue North. The north 75 feet of the land purchased by the City that is not to be used for Wisconsin Avenue was sold by the City to the Seed Exchange for additional parking area and added to their property at the corner to make Lot 1 of the Valley Square Third Addition. � As part of the purchase agreement with the City, the Seed Exchange agreed to sell the City the property needed for Wisconsin Avenue along the west edge of their property. With this purchase, the City now owns the east half of the right-of-way for Wisconsin Avenue between the Creek and Tenth Avenue North. The street right-of-way will be shown as part of the plat. It is anticipated that Wisconsin Avenue north of Bassett Creek will be constructed next year. The attached survey serves as the preliminary plat. As shown, the plat has two lots. Lot 1 is the location of the Seed Exchange with its parking lot. Lot 2 is the unbuildable lot which the City owns and will eventually sell to an adjacent property owner. The plat has been reviewed by the City Engineer and he recommends approval . All necessary easements have been shown on the plat and will be indicated on the final plat. The Planning staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of the Valley Square Third Addition with all easements shown on the attached survey to become a part of the final plat.

As follow-up to the Year 2010 brainstorming session at the last Planning Commission meeting, it is appropriate to decide on a procedure for using the ideas and completing the planning process. In further support of the strategic planning approach presented by Commissioner McAleese, Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes will bring to the meeting strategic planning flow charts utilized in City strategic planning sessions facilitated by a consultant. Commissioner McAleese suggests that Planning Commissioners review items listed in the brainstorming session and submit additions or comments in writing at the July 28, 1986 meeting. A copy of the list of ideas in the order recorded is attached. Also included for use in review is a first attempt at categorizing items. • Attachments: 1. July 21, 1986 Memorandum to Mark Grimes from Kevin McAleese 2. List from July 14, 1986 Brainstorming Session 3. Categorized List • To: Mark Grimes � From: �evin McAleese Date: July 21, 198b Re: Golden Valley ��1� Planning I have been doing some research on f��ture f orecasting! strategic planning �including, as I told Alda in our tel econ, tal E:i ng to one of my f ormer col l eag�te� who i s now assistant director of strategic planning for Honeywell ) . One lesson is clear from this research: Long-range planning benefits from slow �nd deliberate consideration of options. It is generally poor strategy to begin setting priorities toa early in the planning process. Accordingly, I recommend to you and the F'lanning Commission the following schedule for our Golden Valley 2Uic� planning. I believe the only event which might set a deadline for our deliberations is the town meeting which ma}� ae held thi� Fall . I have asseamed this meeting will .be held no earlier than mid-October. Second Meetinv in Julv Rrior- te this meeting, Planning Commissioners should review the items suggested in our breinstorming session. IVo formal • discussion of these items at the meeting. However, Comrnissioners and staff may submit, in writino, the #ollowing: a �lew i tems. o Comments on the existing items, including; suggestions f or implementatian, patential conflicts between two items te.g. , there seems to be a fundamental conflict between those items requiring an e:;pansian of government services and the suggestion to lower property ta:.es) , and opinions about the f easibility of implementing an item. Fi rst meet i ncL,i n Auaust Pri o�^ to meeti ng, Commi ssi oners wi 11 revi ew i np��t f rom previous meeting. No f ormal discussion at meeting. Another round of comments and new items, submitted in writina. After this meeting, the Mayor and members of City Council should be brought into the loop. They shoul� receive list of items and our comments, and their ideas solicited. Deadline for tfieir response is date early enough +or inclusion in mailing of agenda for our first meeting in September. � � Se�ond meetina in Auaust For the Commissioners, same as f or first August meeting. Eirst meetina in Seotember Commisioners review input from Mayar and Council . All comments submitted in writina. Second meetina in September Formal discussion of items and comments.. At this time, ' Commission may choose to eliminate itemsr set priorities, etc. An action plan should be developed. Obiausly� the requirement of submitting our ideas in writing places a burden on a21 of us tperhaps especially staff) , but it has the advantage of ensuring that no ideas are lost in a meanderirtg discussion. Alsa, it will provide a permanent record of our ideas and thought processes. � If you have any questions, please give me a call , or I can answer your questions at the next Commission meeting. � � ; . • � + Thought you might appreciate the following story which illustrates the fate of those who forecast the future: � There is a nice story of. a political prophet in Munich in 1928, who was asEced to prophesy what would be happening to the burghers of his city in five, fifteen, twenty, and forty years° time. He began: "I prophesy that in five years' time, in 19?�, Munich will be part of a Germany that has �ust suff ered 5 million unemployed and that will be ruled by a dictator with a certifiable mental illness who will proceed to m��rder 6 million Jews. " His audience said: "Ah, then you must think that in fifteen , years° time we will be in a sad plight. " "No, " replied the prophet, "I prophesy that in 144� Munich will be part of a Greater Germany whose flag will fly from the Volga to Etordeaux, from northern IVorway to the Sahara. " "Ah, then you must thinF� that in twenty years° time, we will be mighty indeed. " "No, my guess is that in 1948 Munich will be part of a Germany that stretches only from the Elbe to the Rhine, and whose ruined cities will recently have seen prod�tction down � to only 10 percent of the 1928 level . " � "So you think we f ace black ruin in forty years' time?" "No, by 1968 I prophesy that real income per head in Munich will be f our times greater than now, and that in the year after that 9t� percent of German adults wi11 sit 1oal.:ing at a bo� in a corner of their drawing roomsa which will show live pictures of a man walking upon the moon. " They locked him up as a madman, of course. --from General Sir John Hacwett et. al. The Third World War: Aug�ast 19@5 � .
