Respectfully submitted, Margaret Leppik, Vice Chair Linda McCracken-Hunt, Secretary � • August 6, 1986 T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Set Informal Hearing Date - Preliminary Plat Mr. Steve McCough is requesting approval of the preliminary plat of "John James Addition" which divides the property at 415 Turners Crossroad North into four single-family lots. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission set an informal public hearing date of August 25, 1986 to consider the preliminary plat of "John James Addition". i • August 6, 1986 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission _ FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development - SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of the Kuczek Addition at 221 Sunnyridge Lane G�orge and Linda Kuczek have proposed the subdivision of their property at 221 Sunnyridge Lane into two lots. The south lot would be vacant and the north lot is the location of their house. It is anticipated that the Kuczeks will either sell the south lot or build a new house on that lot and sell the the existing house at 221 Sunnyridge Lane. The preliminary plat covers a total area of about 31,000 square feet. The north lot where the house is located is about 21,000 square feet in area and irregularly shaped. This lot will have approximately 245 feet of frontage on Sunnyridge Lane. The lot is about 150 feet deep at its deepest point with all points being well over 100 feet deep. The house is on the south end of the lot. The south lot is about 10,000 square feet in area. Again, this lot is irregular in shape with about 110 feet of frontage on Sunnyridge Lane. This lot exceeds 100 feet in depth. Both lots exceed the Zoning Code requirement for lot area and street frontage. A house similar to other houses in the area may be built on the south lot. � I have reviewed the preliminary plat with the City Engineer. All City utili- ties are available to the site as indicated on the preliminary plat. Adequate drainage of the property is also available by the existing storm sewer system. The engineer indicated that the final plat should indicate all necessary drainage and utility easements along side and rear property lines. I will be indicating this to the Kuczeks surveyor. I would like to note that the Kuczeks may be back to the Planning Commission in the near future to further divide their property if they are able to buy the rear portion of the lot to the north. This would allow them to combine the north portion of their lot with the east end of the lot to the north for ° another single family lot. Recommendation I recommend approval of the preliminary plat of the Kuczek Addition with the condition that all easements required by the City Engineer be shown on the final plat. This proposed subdivision meets or exceeds the requirements of both the Subdivision and Zoning Codes. It also creates an additional infill lot in one of Golden Valley's most attractive neighborhoods. � � — _.��: ,�., 'I,l� �: ,�,� �l� b ,L�� F � r Zo7. .; --c�t,, ►„��,. ,e� \t"r-�► •, ` d ''�` � _ ', . to ��1 , .243 1 / ' '„� �16 . .�►c� '�'i &11� r.. ,qe � l'q ;�c '... �1.`s �.�:ti�: ' 91 . :p � a; o�294 �p�315 �bb ei I" — 3 32 3�3� 35 3G Dl �'1! b9 � �1 � 3 45 � Lo �� ` , t°►5 �(i •' 0�'�14 :' `...n 1� � � to:_ ,.' 1 1 � : �y g� �� ' � I�5 „° �� 296 ��01 �;3 ' 4to �r � u5 ,—.i; �. ; �1 — I � ��4 e „� �.�� '�.0 �•°•� � "�' A' L+ •� � �, �LO �1� t7� '� �i3 411\A� ,� �° � � ,, :+�° j.QEVERL .M.� AVE ;�' � " to z4e � W o�3,► ,.e� �rc �; 42 ��jt. �^ 1iv ��°S�G�.tl e+� � •a; • � � 40 • ' oi — � tOZ 1-� � Z � p1' ��i \�`' � ' 3c 1� tb �'�� `� ^ ' ,. 1 _ p i 3b.t�'�_ ::` � t�� 1 I� ,�1 4ot ' 30 �°,, J � '!ay ` �l� ,.,; -+- 00 (� vs'�•�~- .� ��(�� , �. �° �°u+ - .2001cb ', 3o��C'� 'JO 1 415�� `.,'• �,t a• 3i.3$�,'; �;, � �:c�� k,� '�1� � ay Sb'�, ,W �01� r �Ot ia �Ol.

Further discussion of the process included the following points: 1. Identification of originators of year 2010 planning items The suggestion was made to identify originators of items on the list using a code for internal Planning Commission use only. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that it is not necessary to identify the originators and that it is advantageous to all feel ownership of all items. On the other hand, it was suggested that it would be helpful to go back to the originators for elaboration and explanation. • 2. Categorizing of year ZO10 planning items by implementation There was discussion of categorizing year 2010 planning items by whether or not items can be implemented and by how long items would take for implementation. It was cautioned that it is important not to eliminate items early in the process on the assumption that implementation is not possible and that it is advantageous to stretch out the process. 3. Council participation Planning Commissioners agreed that it is important to inform Council members of , Planning Commission work on year 2010 planning and that Council members should be invited to submit written comments and to attend meetings. 4. Use of consultant Planning Commissioners agreed that use of a consultant as facilitator early in the strategic planning process would be desirable. 5. Participation in town meeting Planning Commissioners decided to invite Dave Thompson and Larry Bakken of the town meeting committee to the next Planning Commission meeting to discuss Planning Commission presentation of the year 2010 concept at the town meeting. A year 2010 theme for the meeting was suggested, focusing on the next 25 years . Golden Valley Planning Commission August 6, 1986 � Page 2 in Golden Valley as opposed to the past 100 years. Ideas for soliciting public input included a year 2010 "snow card" of ideas, use of an anonymous_ "ballot box" for collection of ideas, and provision of a phone-in capability for participation by cable viewers. It was stressed that participation in the town meeting should be incidental to the Planning Commission's strategic planning agenda and should not impose deadlines or constraints on the preferred timetable. 6. Time allocations for strategic planning sessions It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that year 2010 strategic planning sessions should be included on each Planning Commission agenda where there is time after other agenda items, but that no strategic planning session should last longer than one and a half hours. 7. Protection of the strategic planning process It was suggested that the Planning Commission consider a procedure for ensuring the continuation of the strategic planning process into the future as Commission membership changes. Attached for discussion at the August 11, 1986 Planning Commission meeting is a memorandum prepared by Commissioner McAleese presenting an approach for indivi- dual Commissioner review of and preparation of comments on specific items on • the list of year 2010 planning items. Suggested topics for discussion at the August 11, 1986 Planning Commission meeting include the following: 1. Planning Commission presentation of the Year 2010 planning concept at the town meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 1986. Dave Thompson, City Council member and member of the town meeting planning committee, will attend the August 11, 1986 Planning Commission meeting to discuss Planning Commission ideas for participation in the town meeting. 2. Clarification of the above account of discussion at the July 28, 1986 Planning Commission meeting concerning procedure for continuation of the Year 2010 planning process. Copies of the memorandum on procedure prepared by Commissioner McAleese for the July 28, 1986 Planning Commission meeting and of the strategic planning flow chart provided by Planning and Development Director Mark Grimes are included with this agenda packet for reference. 3. Memorandum from Commissioner McAleese suggesting an approach to review of the list of year 2010 planning items. It has been suggested that Planning Commissioners submit the following in writing: � Golden Valley Planning Commission August 6, 1986 � Page 3 1. Additional items for the year 2010 planning list. 2. _ Comments on items on the year 2010 planning list. I believe the understanding is that written submittals are suggested in order to assure that no items or comments are lost in discussion, but that the Planning Commission may choose to make these items a topic of discussion at the meeting if so desired.

Strategic Planning Process Flow Chart � � Toe Aida Peikert 4 Froma Kevin McAl�ese Datea Auqust 5, 1986 Ree Golden Valley 2010 Planninp -As I mentioned in ou� telecon last Friday, I've found the task of reviewing the list of planning items more difficult than anticipated. Given the amount of feedback you've received from the other Plann�ng Commissioners� I suspect - they may be encountering the sam� problem. Part of the difficulty I've experienced i� due to the unstructur�d natur� of the review task. I believe staff and the Pianning Commission need to adopt a uniform process for reviewing the items on the 2010 lfst, �nd recommend we do so at our next meetinA if time permits. As a minimum, I �ecommend we develop a worksheet to ensure that each reviewer addresses the same issues when con�idering the i tem�. To initiate debate, l�t me share with you the review process I have temporarily adopted. As mentioned in our telecon, this approach is n�ither fixed nor sacred -- I look fo�ward to creative �uggestions from staff and my fellow Commissioners. � te st bli h E s s �erz�nal �ri�rities f�r items. Given the size of the 2010 items list, the Commission's timetable for �eview* and my other commitments� my preference 3s to revfew the item� in the following order� i. Items plac�d on the 2010 liat at my r�quest. 2. Other items which interest me. 3. a�maininp items. My ration�le is simpiee The person who advocated each item is in the best position to perform the fi�st-cut review because he or �he presumably performed a mini-analy�i6 before suggesting the item. Also, that person is demonstrably enthusia�tic about the item�, and may eo further in a preliminary review than the re�t of us. I have chosen to giv� "interesting" items a secondary priority, and to leave the remaining items until last. �imply becau�e I believe I can make a better contribution to the review by following that procedure. Frankiy� I find it easier to be creative with the items which capture my imagination. I am obligated to review "remaining" items, but it seems quite equitable to me to leave the burden of the � first-cut review to an item's advocates. 4 Steo 2a Consider �ach item an the merit�. I developed the attached heuristic to structure my � consideratfon of each item. The baldface questions �uggest _ attributes and issue� I believe we should be con�idering at the pres�nt stage of our strategic pianning proce�s. The que�tio�s in itslics es�entialiy relate to the wisdom of adopting a specific item, or the priority I assign to the � item. Answers to these questions reflect my personal philosophy and need not be shared at the present time. �I assume each reviewer has a personal philosophy or agenda� and have included the italicized questions simply as s �eminder that it is appropriate to view the present list of items through a filter of personal bis�es. Indeed, such filtering may be �asentiel to establish consistency between i tems. ) My ration�le fo� the questions is as followse Advantaaes �nd disadvantaoes: When it is t3me to estabifsh prioritie� �nd action plans, it will be necessary to trade off advant�►ges against disadvantages. � �mcl�m�ntation� The initial question iz how th� it�m could b� implemented� i .�. � the steps which could be teken to make th� item a fact by 2010. My responses here will , I hope, simplify the eventual dev�lopment by staff and the Pianning Commission of an ection plan. A cr3tical �ub-issue is whether the City alone can impiement �n item! or whether implementation requires action by others. �The fact that the City cannot act alone should not kiil an otherwise good idea. For example, 3f an item requi�es action by the state legisiature, it mfght be appropriate for the City to assume a lobbying role. ) Timing ig also important because it may �ffect the order in which our action plan addre�ses items. (Given the Cfty•s finite resources, it seems uniikely thet all of the worthy items can be imlement�d at once. A staggered implementation might be possibie, hawever. ) I believe the 3nformation �egarding implementation will prove es�ential to the task of setting prioritie� among it�ms. Consistencvz If two items are incansist�nt -- i.e. , achieving one will tat least partially) defeat the second -- the inconsistencies must be identified before � p�iorities ar� set. Frankly, thi� is a tough task. I �ecommend that each Commissioner merely note the • presence of an inconsistency, without trying to describe it in writing. We couid then discuss the deteils of any problem��) during our meetings. Additional inf ormationa I simply don't know enough about certain ftems to make a reasoned decision regarding them. This question gives me the opportunity to request the needed info. Moreover, this is an opportunity to con�ider the type of info that might be �equired later in our planning process. �rioritva While I believe it is fmportant to remain open-minded about each item on the �010 li�t, some appear more important to me than others. tI expect that you, Marks and the other Commissioners feel the same. ) This 3s my private list of p�iorities. I think it �houid be kept pr3vate because I want the flexiblity to reassess items as staff and the other Commissioners perform their �eviews. I have used these questions to prepare a worksheet ��ttached) . I hope this mema and attachments stimulate your creative juices. snd look forward to a lively discussion �ext • Monday. � i. What are the advantages of implementing this item? What benefits will accrue to the citizens of Golden Valley if • this item becomes fact? 2. What are disadvantages? What� detriment might accrue if this item i� implement�d? 3. Does th� City have the power to impiement this item by fiat tin �the form of an ordinance, resolution, etc)? If YES, what are the necessary steps? When should or - must the City take action to make this item a fact in the year 2010? Immediately? Near term li-5 years)? Medium term «-15 yeara)7 Long term �over 15 years)? Sho�l d th� Ci t y �sp1 esent thi s s�dea si spl y becacrs�► i t has the po�►er to do so?

One lesson is clear from this research: Long-range planning benefits from slow and deliberate consideration of options. It is generally poor strategy to begin setting priorities too early in the planning process. Accordingly, I recommend to you and the Flanning Commission the following schedule for our Golden Valley 2�10 planning. I believe the only event which might set a deadline f or our deliberations is the town meeting which may be held this Fall . I have assumed this meeting will be held no earlier than mid-October. Second Meetina in Julv Prior to this meeting, Planning Commissioners should review the items suggested in our 6rainstorming session. No f ormal � discussion of these items at the meeting. However, Commissioners and staff may submit, in wri;tino, the f ol 1 owi ng s o New items. ' o Comments on the existing items, includings suggestions for implementation� potential conflicts between two items te.g. , there seems to be a fund�mental conflict between those items requiring an e:;pansion of government services and the suggestion to lower property taxes) , and opinions about the feasibility of implementing an item. First meetina in Auaust Rrior to meeting� Commissioners will review input from previous meeting. No formal discussion at meeting. Another round of comments and new 3tems, submitted in writina. After this meeting, the Mayor and members of City Council should be brought into the loop. They should receive list of iterrts and our comments, and their ideas solicited. Deadline fo� their response is date early enough for inclusion in mailing of agenda for our first meeting in September. � Second meetina in Auoust • For the Commissioners, same as for first August meeting. First meetina in Seatember .- Commisioners review input from Mayor and Coun�il . All comments submitted in writina. Second meetina in Sectember Formal discussion of items and comments.. At this time, Commission may choose ta eliminate items, set priorities* etc. An action plan should be developed. Obiausly* the requirement of submitting our ideas in writing places a burden on all of us tperhaps especially staff) , but it has the advantage of ensuring that no ideas are lost in a meandering discussion. Also, 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. • r .. - . . . . Thought you might appreciate the f ollowing story which allustrates the fate of those who forecast the future: . There is a nice story of a political prophet in Munich in 1929, who was as4:ed to prophesy what would be happening to the burghers of his city in five, fifteen, twenty, and- f orty yPars' time. He began: "I prophesy that in five years' time, in 1933, f�9unich will be part of a Germany that has 3ust suffered 5 million unemployed and that will be ruled by a dictator with a certifiable mental illness who will proceed �to murder 6 million Jews. " His audience saide "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 1943 Munich will be part of a Greater Germany whose flag will fly from the Volga to Hordeaux, from northern IVorway to the Sahara. " "Ah� then you must thinw 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 produ�tion down to only 10 percent of the 1928 level . " � "So you think we face black ruin in forty years' time?" "No� by 1966 I prophesy that real income per head in Munich will be f ou� times greater than now, and that in the year after that 90 percent of German adults will sit loo�.:ing at a box in a corner of their drawing rooms, which will show live pictures of a man walking upon the moon. " They locked him up as a madm�n, of cour�e. --from General Sir John Hackett et. al.
