It was moved by Commissioner Forster, seconded by Commissioner Tubman and carried unanimously to set an informal public hearing date of February 27, 1984 for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit requested by Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company for operation of an automobile refinishing and reconditioning facility at 704 Pennsylvania Avenue South in an Industrial Zoning District. VI. INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLAN FOR PUD #44 APPLICANT: PEM Millwork LOCATION: 800 Mendelssohn Avenue North � REQUEST: Approval for Preliminary Design Plan for PUD #44, PEM Millwork Planning Commission Meeting - February 13, 1984 -3- • Chairman Polachek introduced this agenda item and asked whether there were questions of staff. Commissioner Forster asked about the ratio of office to warehouse space used for calculation of parking required for the second builidng. Assistant Planner Alda Peikert confirmed that the 30 percent office to 70 percent warehouse ratio used for planning purposes is higher than the 25 percent office to 75 percent ware- house ratio used as a standard and that parking provided should therefore be adequate to accommodate most potential users. Commissioner Tubman asked about timing of construction of the storm drainage holding pond on the Medicine Lake Bus Lines property required for the Pem Millwork storm sewer and about options available to the proponent if the holding pond is not constructed. Ms. Peikert answered that the second and third phases of the Pem Millwork PUD could not take place without the storm sewer and holding pond, that staff understands construction of the Medicine Lake Bus Lines yard and pond is scheduled for the 1984 construction season, and that if construction of the holding pond does not take place for some reason, Pem Millwork and others cooperating in planning for storm drainage of the area would be required to meet with the City Engineering Department to work out a new arrangement. Planning and Redevelopment Coordinator Mike Miller informed the Planning Commission that construction of the holding pond was one of the conditions attached to issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Medicine Lake Lines for the bus storage yard. • Commissioner Leppik asked about storage capacity of the storm drainage holding pond proposed for the Medicine Lake Bus Lines site. Chairman Polachek figured the approximate storage capacity from information included on the plans, and Ms. Peikert confirmed that the City Engineer approved storage capacity as adequate to handle drainage from Pem Millwork and other properties in the area. Chairman Polachek recognized Mr. Paul Hoover, President of Pem Millwork, who was present to represent the proponent. Mr. Hoover explained that runoff now drains into a holding area on the Medicine Lake Bus Lines property and that Medicine Lake Lines will construct a holding pond on another portion of the property as part of improvement of the site for use as a bus storage yard. �r. Hoover stated that Westview Business Center, the Telephone company and other neigh- boring property owners along with Pem Millwork worked with the City Engineering Department to prepare a drainage plan to serve the area. Mr. Hoover distributed to Planning Commissioners a pamphlet on Pem Millwork and explained that Pem Millwork is a specialty millwork house which handles Andersen windows and Atrium patio doors. The business is currently located in Westview Business Center with an additional showroom in St. Paul and requires additional space for expansion. Pem Millwork proposes to move 500 to 600 feet north from Westview to a new corporate office and facility at the subject location. Mr. Hoover introduced his brother Mr. Earl Hoover of Pem Millwork, his contrac- tor Mr. Pat Gannon, and his architect Mr. Jeff Anderson of AMCON, who attended the meeting representing the proponent. • Commissioner Leppik asked whether the proponent manufacturers windows or carries products manufactured elsewhere. Mr. Hoover explained that Pem Millwork Planning Commission Meeting - February 13, 1984 -4- � assembles bay and bow windows from Andersen window stock and offers a prefabri- cated product which is delivered by Pem Millwork trucks to homeowners or contractors. Mr. Hoover confirmed that assembly would take place at the subject location. Conenissioner Prazak asked Mr. Hoover whether the proponent is aware of the con- ditions of approval recommended by staff. Mr. Hoover replied that he is aware of the recortanended conditions and that they are most acceptable. Mr. Jeff Anderson, AMCON, presented the proposal using boards of the phased site plan and elevations. Mr. Anderson explained the phasing, reviewed landscaping, and described the building exterior materials as redwood and decorative concrete block combined with use of Pem Millwork's custom window products. Commissioner Forster asked what kind of tenant Pem Millwork expects in the second building. Mr. Hoover explained that the proponent accepted three acres of property although unable to utilize the entire site and determined that the additional space could best be used to accommodate a second building and user. Mr. Hoover is seeking a tenant similar to those which currently occupy Westview Business Center. Mr. Hoover observed that Westview has a variety of tenants but that they work well together. Commissioner Leppik asked whether there is a chance Pem Millwork would need the second building. Mr. Hoover replied that he did not visualize at this time that • Pem Millwork would use the second building. Mr. Hoover stated that Pem Millwork � is three years old and that the amount of business is gratifying. Pem Millwork experienced 65 percent growth last year, but Mr Hoover said he cannot expect such growth to continue. ' Commissioner Forster asked what kind of traffic is generated by the business. Mr. Hoover replied that the traffic volume is very low and that it would be unu- sual to have as many as five or six people in the showroom at one time. P�r. Hoover said that much of his business consists of telephone orders for delivery. Commissioner Leppik conanented that she appreciates receiving a PUD proposal with few variance requests. Chairman Polachek opened the informal public hearing for public input. Mr. Art Hinnenthal stated that he is a partner in Harkraft, Inc. , 9100 lOth Avenue North, and that he attended the informal public hearing as an interested neighbor. Mr. Hinnenthal co�nented that County Road 18 is the location of numerous millwork shops especially to the nortM and that he thinks the subject site is a good location for this type of business. Chairman Polachek closed the informal public hearing. Commissioner Leppik observed that the site is long and narrow with little space for landscaping and asked whether landscaping is planned next to the building. • Mr. Anderson reviewed landscaping plans, and Mr. Hoover stated that the propon- ent plans to sprinkler the lawn and shrubs. : i Planning Commission Meetin� - February 13, 1984 -5- • Commissioner Singer observed that there appear to be no problems with the proposal . It was moved by Com�nissioner Prazak, seconded by Commissioner Leppik and carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the Preliminary Design Plan for PUD #44, Pem Millwork Addition, subject to the following conditions: 1 . Maximum allowable ratio of 30 percent office space to 70 percent warehouse space in the 15,950 square foot office warehouse building on Lot 2. . 2. Compatibility of building exteriors of the two buildings and approval of exterior finishes by the Building Board of Review. 3. Completion of storm sewer installation prior to construction of Phase Two or f Phase Three of the PUD. 4. Sprinklering of the entire area of each building. 5. L'ocation of a Fire Department connector on each building in close proximity to the adjacent fire hydrant. 6. Submittal with the PUD General Plan of Development of access easement and joint maintenance agreement documents for review and approval by the City Attorney. � 7. Approval of watermain plans by the Minnesota Department of Health. 8. Addition on the Final Plat of drainage and utility easements six feet in width along the southern boundary line of the site and ten feet in width along the western, northern and eastern boundaries of the site. 9. Conformance of landscaping with the City Landscape Standards and approval of the Building Board of Review. 10. Conformance of all signage with the City Sign Regulations and approval of the City Building Inspector. 11 . Storage of all trash inside buildings or within enclosures approved by the City Builidng Inspector and Building Board of Review. 12. Separation of all drive and parking area from landscaped area by concrete curb. VII. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL MEETING - FEBRUARY 7, 1984 Commissioner Tubman provided the Planning Commission with a report on the February 7, 1984 City Council meeting. VIII. CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO THE CITY U CIL ESTABL�SH�N A� MORATORIUM �N �EVEL PMENT A D OR RE�EYELO F�1ENT OF � �E�IA� _-7FI'E ILTS�Ttl6Y�f�EA'� Planning Commission Meeting - February 13, 1984 -6- � Chairman Polachek introduced this agenda item. As background Chairman Polachek recalled the previous Highway 12 moratorium instituted by the City of Golden Valley but not by the City of St. Louis Park and co�anented that continued deve- lopment in St. Louis Park served to the advantage of St. Louis Park over Golden Valley in placement of I-394. Planning and Redevelopment Coordinator Mike Miller reviewed development propo- sals for the Boulevard property and co�ronented on limitations of the site and advantages of combination with the Forster property to the north. Mr. Miller discussed the possibility of designation of a Redevelopment District encom- passing a larger area than recommended for the moratorium. Mr. Miller pointed out that the Golden Hills area is an entrance to Golden Valley where the City would like to show a proper image and that very nice office and hotel develop- ment could take place if properly planned. Mr. Miller concluded that the area requires study in order to put together a better development package. Establishment of a redevelopment district would enable the City to join with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) in acquisition of properties for redeveloment coordinated with I-394 construction. Commissioner Leppik asked what is the best way to control development of an area and whether declaration of a redevelopment district is the best means. Mr. Miller confirmed that a redevelopment district gives the City or HRA control over an entire project from beginning to end and that the control is reinforced with contracts and bonds. • Commissioner Singer asked the time parameters for the proposed moratorium. Mr. Miller replied that State Law allows institution of a moratorium for a period of one year with the option of an 18 month extension. Mr. Miller stated that he believes the required planning can be accomplished in 12 months. Commissioner Tubman commented that a moratorium is particularly appropriate where I-394 constru�tion limits still are not determined. It was moved by Commissioner Singer, seconded by Commissioner Forster and carried unanimously to recortnnend that the City Council approve a development moratorium in the area northwest of Highway 12 and Turners Crossroad extending west to the railroad tracks and north to Laurel Avenue in order to allow time for preparation of appropriate plans for better utilization of the properties within this area. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Respectful ly submi tted, er o ac e , Ch�irman Margaret epp , Secretary � T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984 FROM: ALDA PEIKERT, ASSISTANT PLANNER • SUBJECT: SET DATE FOR INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A SIX-STORY OFFICE BUILDING IN A COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT - 5530 AND 5612 WAYZATA BOULEVARD Undestad Investment Company requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of a six-story office building at 5530 and 5612 Wayzata Boulevard in a Commercial Zoning District. The subject site consists of the former Boulevard Restaurant property and the adjacent print shop which is in the � same ownership as the Boulevard property. The existing site including the two parcels is 2.17 acres in size with an estimated future size of 1.83 acres following I-394 construction. The proposed project includes a 60,000 square foot office building six stories in height and a four-level parking ramp with one level below grade and three levels above grade. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission set an informal public hearing date of March 12, 1984 for consideration of the Conditional Use Permit request.

(See attached Area Map) There were four specific conditions attached to this Conditional Use Permit which to date have not been adhered to. The specific conditions are as follows: 1 . Landscaping to the specifications of the Building Board of Review of the 35 foot front yard setback on the three sides of the site facing streets. 2. Removal of gasoline pumps and underground fuel storage tanks in accordance with City tank removal guidelines promulgated by the City Fire Marshal and City Building Inspector, except for one pump island which may be retained for Jim Lupient sales and car rental use. 3. The exterior building materials to be determined by the Building Board of Review. � 4. Limitation of the number of cars parked to the south and east of the building to 11 as indicated on the site plan and limitation of the number of cars parked to the north of the building to the number reasonably spaced outside of the 35 foot minimum setbacks from the streets on the east and north, to be delineated on plans submitted for approval of the Building Board of Review prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed addition. Since the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit, the proponent, Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company, has abandoned the idea of building an addition onto the existing structure, and has also abandoned the idea of providing diesel car repair at this site. To this date, none of the four conditions have been imple- mented. Late last year (1983) the proponent was advised by the City of Golden Valley that if steps were not taken within a reasonable period of time to comply with the provisions of the Conditional Use Permit, that the City Council would be asked to consider revocation of Conditional Use Permit No. 82-2. In response to this notification, the proponent, Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company, has addressed this matter along with two other existing Conditional Use Permits in the attached Memorandum and revised site plan, seeking to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 82-2. The three colored drawings referred to in the Memo will be on display at the February 27, 1984 Planning Commission meeting. � Planning Commission -2- February 23, 1984 � Staff takes note of Section 20.03 (G) of the Golden Valley City Zoning Code wherein the Planning Commission is required to make findings on any or all of ten factors. It is recommended that the Planning Commission consider the following findings: 1 . There does appear to be a demonstrated need for this use, although the use is provided elsewhere within the City as well as within adjacent cities. 2. The uses contained within the application for amending the Conditional Use Permit appear to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City. 3. There should be no adverse effect upon property values in neighboring areas as a result of the amendment of this Conditional Use Permit. 4. It does not appear that there would be any adverse effect upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the area. 5. There woul� be no effect on the population and density of surrounding land uses. 6. There should be no increase in noise levels caused by the amendment of this conditional Use Permit. 7. There does not appear to be any increase in any odors, dust, smoke, gas, � etc. beyond that which might be generated from the site at the present time. 8. The amendment to this Conditional Use Permit would not increase the number of flies, rats, or animals or vermin in the area. 9. Amendment of this Conditional Use Permit should improve the visual . appearance of the land use by providing a much cleaner site with proper landscaping. 10. The amendment of this Conditional Use Permit should not have any adverse effect upon the general public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. � After carefull review of the proposed amendment of Conditional Use Permit No. 82-2, it appears that the modifications would be a definite improvement to the site at the northwest corner of Louisiana Avenue South and T.H. 12 (7000 Wayzata Boulevard). Therefore, it is the recommendation of Staff that the Planning Commission give favorable consideration to this request by Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company. However, a recommendation for approval should only be made based on the following conditions: 1 . That the proponent provide landscaping on all sides of the site facing a public street or highway to a depth of 35 feet from the right-of-way line (Front Yard Setback) unless a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals (BZA) altering all or part of the required setback. • Planning Commission -3- February 23, 1984 � 2. All existing underground gasoline storage tanks (except the one serving the remaining gas pump) must be excavated in accordance with City and State Fire Code, or otherwise abandoned by removing all flammable or combustible liquid from the tank and from all connecting lines; disconnect the suction, inlet, gage, and vent lines; and fill the tanks completely with an inert solid material and cap all remaining underground piping, in accordance with City and State Fire Code. In addition, all work done relative to the storage tanks must be inspected by the City Fire Marshal before and after completion. 3. That the restriction on the number of automobiles parked on the south and east of the structure be changed from 11 to 15 automobiles, with all remaining automobiles (rentals) to be parked to the north of the structure as shown on the site plan. 4. Since an addition to the structure is no longer contemplated, all references to "exterior building materials" should be deleted from the permit. 5. All changes in the means of ingress and egress to the site shall be in accordance with the approved, modified, site plan made a part of this amended Conditional Use Permit.

To: Golden Valley Planning Commission _On February 16, 1982, the City Council issued Condi- tio�nal Use Permits Nos. 82-2, 82-3 and 82-4 with regard ta the properties located at 6980 and 7000 Wayzata Boulevard. At the time the permits were issued no final decision had laeen made with respect to the location and construction of Interstate Highway 394. These uncertainties and other unanticipated events created di€ficulties in fully complying with the conditions set forth in the permits. This situation has been discussed from time to time with the staff. and efforts have been made to achieve fuller com- pliance with the conditions of the permits. � The decisions with respect to I-394 now appear to be final. With the location and timing of construction having been • determined, we are now in a position to develop a long-range plan for our property and our various operations. This long-range . plan must be put into place in two stages and entails certain modifications of the conditions now set forth in the permits . We are submitting with our current applications three drawings: (I) one showing the current status of the properties, ( II) a second sYiowing the proposed interim stage of our plan, to 'be in effect from now until I-394 is constructed, and (III) a third drawing describing the permanent stage. of our long-range plan. � As will be noted, the interim stage (drawing II) contemplates continued (but temporary) use of the structures that are the subject of the permits, and the final plan (drawing III) calls for the complete elimination of those structures. As a part of the final stage, in addition to the improvements shown on drawing III, we may also propose the development of a major-brand service station on the remainder of the property at 6980 Wayzata � Boulevard. (We have already been contacted by a major oil com- pany proposing suclz a development. ) Such a development would depend, in part, on the extent of the final highway taking. • • _ «. � ' I • As indicated, pencling completion of the I-394 construc- tion, we are proposing the interim plan depicted on drawing II. In order to enable the existing structures to funetion during the interim, we have applied for the following modifications of the existing permit conditions: (A) Permit No. 82-2 (1� Since the issuance of the permit it has been con- firmed by the staff that landscaping is required only on the' south and east boundaries of the property. The existing land- scaping and proposed additional lan8scaping is shown in green on drawing II. We are requesting approval of that landscaping plan. �2) The gasoline pumps (except for the one allowed by the permit� have been removed. The underground fuel storage tanks have not been removed because the planned addition to the building has not and will not be constructed. There are four separate tanks in the same excavation, one of whicl� serves the one remaining pump. We are requesting a delay in removal of the tanks until the structure is removed in connection with the per- manent stage of the plan (drawing III) . (3) Since the addition to the structure was never con- • atructed, the reference to "exterior building materials" is no longer pertinent and should be deleted. (4) In view of the closing of two of the three entrances to the property, we are requesting permission to park 15 cars on the south and east of the structure, and additional cars on the north side of the structure, all as shown on drawing II. This will enable us to park all nonOldsmobile rental vehicles behind the structure. (B) Permit No. 82-3 �+Te propose to revise the vehicle parking on the prop- erty as shown on drawing II . This will entail the following: (1) Closing the western-most entrance on the south side of the property, which will increase the number of parking places. This is being done primarily to prevent i.11egal cut- throughs to avoid traffic backups at the intersection. It also provides additional needed parking, particularly in view of the propane storage tank referred to in the next paragraph. (2) �Permitting the propane storage tank to remain on the sout� boundary of the property, in an area that would � � -2- � � _ 1;!. . � I � ' t/ • otherwise be devoted to parking. That location is preferred by the fire marshal and enables us to have the tank under surveillance at all times. � (C) Permit No. 82-4 (1) Although the permit restricted the parking of rental vehicles, the staff recognized our need for our customers to have visual contact with "U-Haul" vehicles. Consequently, we were told tYiat there would be no ob�jection to the parking of one truck and one trailer on the east side of the property. We are asking that this permission be formalized as shown on drawing II . (2) We had not believed that any storage of "U-Haul" vehicles would be required on the site. because of the proximity of the company's facility on Olson Memorial Highway in Minneapolis. However, this has not in practice proved to be a practical solution. We are therefore prepared to construct a screened storage area as shown on drawing II. (D) Additional Improvements in Interim Stage (1) We request permission to blacktop the three park- ing areas designated on drawing II . � (2) We propose to construct a parts warehouse and automobile sYiop on the east side of Louisiana, immediately south of the railroad right-of-way. Pending construction of the storm sewer in connection with the I-394 project, we will provide pond- ing to the south and east of the structure. (After construction of the storm sewer, as shown on drawing III, the ponding area would be used to construct an office-warehouse building. ) (3� Until construction of the warehouse and shop building, we are (by separate application) seeking permission to - use the building at 704 Pennsylvania Avenue South for shop purposes.

T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984 FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING & REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR � SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #82-3 - 6980 WAYZATA BOULEVARD On February 16, 1982 the City Council granted a Conditional Use Permit to Executive Leasing Corporation granting permission to operate a gasoli,ne service station at 6980 Wayzata Boulevard within an Industrial Zoning District. The only condition placed on this Conditional Use Permit by the City Council was that all vehicle parking on site shall be restricted to those areas designated for parking on the site plan only. Since the initial granting of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 none of the conditions have been implemented by the proponent, Executive Leasing Corporation. Within the past six months Lupient Leasing Incorporated has purchased all interests in this site th�t Executive Leasing Corporation previously had. The property is still being operated as a gasoline service station with truck and trailer rental services which are involved in another conditional use permit. Upon acquisition of the interests of Executive Leasing Corporation, Lupient Leasing Incorporated also inherited all conditions and/or restrictions that had been placed on Conditional Use Permit #82-3. It was after considerable amount of time in contacting both Executive Leasing Corporation and later Lupient Leasing Incorporated that the City of Golden Valley notified the proponent/operator that the conditions for the Conditional Use Permit had not and were not being met. The site plan had apparently been somewhat disregarded. • Lupient Leasing Incorporated now the party responsible for that site was notified by the City of Golden Valley that unless some action was taken relati- vely soon the City would consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. As a result of that particular notification, Lupient Leasing Incorporated has filed an application to amend Conditional Use Permit #82-3 in an effort to make cer- tain changes to the site plan and to give the City assurances that the new action proposed are in keeping with the spirit and intent of the original permit and at the same time perhaps be an improvement over what had been required and promised in 1982. Attached you will find a memorandum from Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company, the apparent parent company of Lupient Leasing Incorporation, in which the situation revolving around the Conditional Use Permit #82-3 as well as certain other con- ditional use permits in question at this time have been addressed by the propo- nent and an explanation to accompany a new site plan has been provided for the consideration of the Planning Commission. Page 2 of this memo outlines the approach of the proponent to short and long term improvement of conditions on site involving Conditional Use Permit #82-3. • Golden Valley Planning Commission -2- February 23, 1984 eAccording to the revised Conditional Use Permit Application relative to this matter the proponent is suggesting that the use of the property would be for gasoline service station doing business as Boulevard Getty. In addition, Jim Lupient Oldsmobile New Car Clean-up would be undertaken in the four stalls in the north section of the building on that site. Lupient inventory for the car sells operation is also to be continued to be parked on the lot north of the building. According to the revised site plan the proponent is proposing to remove one driveway entrance which would be the western most entrance on the south side of the property abutting a service road which intersects with Louisiana Avenue just north of T.H. 12. The propose, according to the propo- nent, for removal of this driveway entrance, is to prevent automobile traffic from cutting through that driveway entrance and entering onto Louisiana via the southerly most entrance to this site along the west side of the property. It is also the entent of the proponent to utilize that space which had formerly been a driveway entrance as an area for parking cars as would be required under the service station situation. In addition a propane fuel tank has been placed in an area shown on the original site plan as part of the parking area and is out in front along the southerly border of this property. The proponent is asking permission to leave the propane tank where it is because it seems to be the most ideal location as indicated by the City Fire Marshal upon inspection. It is easily identifiable and easily reached in any instance involving an emergency situation. Further north along this site running from Highway 12 all the way to Market Street along Louisiana Avenue the proponent shows landscaping of the required 35 foot front yard setback all the way to Market and then from o Market Street east for 175 feet the width of the property. The required front yard setback would also be landscaped and the parking lot area would be paved with asphalt. Section 20.03 Subd. G of the Golden Valley City Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make findings and recommendations to the City Council based upon any or all of ten specific listed factors (which need not be weighed equally). Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider the following information relative to findings of the listed ten points. 1 . Since this is not the only gasoline service station found within the City of Golden Valley nor is it the only one within a short distance of this par- ticular location, it is difficult to make a definite comment or recommen- dation that there is a demonstrated need for the proposed use. However, inasmuch this is a controlled intersection which does make it somewhat easilier for traffic to get on and off of T.H. 12 it could be said that because of the high traffic volume on this Highway corridor there is a demonstrated need for this use at this location although the same services are available elsewhere along the same corridor. 2. The proposed amendment to Conditional Use Permit #82-3 would be consistent and in keeping with the adopted Comprehensive Plan for the City of Golden Valley. 3. There appears to be no adverse effect upon property values in the neigh- boring areas as a result of the amendment/modification of Conditional Use e Permit #82-3. Golden Valley Planning Commission -3- February 23, 1984 • 4. There is no apparent adverse effects suggested by the amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 particular with respect with current traffic flow and congestion in the area. If anything, the traffic flow and conges- tion should be improved with the removal of the one driveway entrance which would prohibit unauthorized access to Louisiana at a location where it is not suppose to be taking place. 5. Amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 would no way increase population and/or density upon surrounding land uses. 6. The amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 in modification of site plan would in no way provide for any increase in noise levels caused by the pro- posed land use. 7. There is no apparent reason to suggest that amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 would cause any additional odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration beyond what might be generated by that site at the present time. 8. There is nothing to suggest that amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 would in anyway increase the number of flies, rats or other animals or ver- min in the area to be caused by the proposed used. 9. . Visual appearance of the proposed use and/or amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-3 should only be construed as an improvement over what was origi- • nally offered and would of course assist in cleaning up that particular corner of Louisiana Avenue South and T.H. 12. 10. There does not appear to be any other significant effect upon the general public health, safety and welfare of the City and it's residents as a result of the proposed use under the amendment of Conditional Use Permit 82-3. After reviewing this application to amend Conditional Use Permit #82-3, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council with the following conditions: � Golden Yalley Planning Commission -4- February 23, 1984 • 1 . Vehicle parking on site shall be restricted to those areas designated for parking on the amended approved site plan only. 2. The western �st entrance on the south side of the property shall be closed and filled with proper landscaping materials so that it could in no way reopened unless otherwise approved as a further amendment to this permit. 3. The propane storage tank shall be allowed to remain where it is presently located on the site plan along the south boundary of the property in a loca- tion that is preferred by the City Fire Marshal . 4. Violation of any condition placed on this permit or any other subsequent violations of the Zoning Ordinance relative to this property shall be grounds for the City Council to consider revocation of this Conditional Use Permit.

To: Golden Valley Planning Commission -On February 16, 1982, the City Council issued Condi- tional Use Permits Nos. 82-2, 82-3 and 82-4 with regard to the properties located at 6980 and 7000 Wayzata Boulevard. At the time the permits were issued no final decision had been made with respect to the location and construction of Interstate Highway 394. These uncertainties and other unanticipated events created difficulties in fully complying with the conditions set forth in the permits. This situation has been discussed from time to time with the st�.ff, and efforts have been made to achieve fuller com- pliance with the conditions of the permits. • � T'he decisions with respect to I-394 now appear to be final. With the location and timing of construction having been � determined, we are now in a position to develop a long-range plan for our propert�r and our various operatians. This long-range plan must be put into place in two stages and entails certain modificatioras of the conditions now set forth in the permits . � We are submitting with our current applications thre� drawings: (I) one showing the current status of the properties, ( II) a second showing the proposed interim stage of our pian, to be in effect from now until I-394 is constructed, and (III) a third drawing describing the permanent stage of our long-range plan. As will be noted, the interim stage (drawing II) contemplates continued (but temporary) use of the structures that are tlze subject of the permits, and the final plan (drawing III) calls for the complete elimination of those structures. As a part of the final st.age, in addition to the improvements shown on drawin:g III, we may also propose the development of a major-brand service station on the remainder of the property at 6980 Wayzata Boulevard. (We have already been contacted by a major oil com- pany proposing such a development. ) Such a development would depend, in part, on the extent of the final highway taking. • ' _ �c. , . � ' 1 . � As indicated, pending completion of tre I-394 construc- tion, we are proposing the interim plan depicted on drawir�g II. In order to enable the existing structures to function during the interim, we have applied for the following modifications of the existing permit conditions: (A) Permit No. 82-2 (1) Since the issuance of the permit it has been con- firmed by the staff that landscaping is required only on the� south and east boundaries of the property. The existing land- scaping and proposed additional landscaping is shown in green on drawing II. We are requesting approval of that landscaping plan. (2) The gasoline pumps (except for the one allowed by the permit) have been removed. The underground fuel storage tanks have not been removed because the planned addition to the building has not and will not be constructed. There are four separate tanks in the same excavation, one of which serves the vne remaining pump. We are requesting a delay in removal of the tanks until the structure is removed in connection with the per- manent stage of the plan (drawing III) . (3) Since the addition to the structure was never con- � structed, the reference to "exterior building materials" is no longer p��rtinent and should be deleted. (4) In view of the closing of two of the three ent�ances to the property, we are requesting permission to park 15 cars on the south and east of the structure, and additional cars on the north side of the structure, all as shown on drawing II. This will enable us to park all nonOldsmobile rental vehicles beYiind the structure. (B) Permit No. 82-3 We propose to revise the vehicle parking on the prop- erty as shown on drawing II. This will entail the following: (1) Closing the western-most entrance on the south side of the property, which will increase the number of parking places. This is being done primarily to prevent illegal cut- throughs to avoid traffic backups at the intersection. It also provides additional needed parking, particularly in view of the � propane storage tank referred to in the next paragraph. (2) Permitting the propane storage tank to remain on . the south boundary of the property, in an area tliat would � � � -2- -- �r • f.r � � • � I �P • otherwise be devoted to parking. That location is preferred by the fire marshal and enables us to have the tank under surveillance at all times. (C) Permit No. 82-4 (1) Although the permit restricted the parking of rental vehicles, the staff recognized our need for our customers to have visual contact with "U-Haul" vehicles. Consequently, we were told that there would be no objection to the parking of one truck and one trailer on the east side of the property. We are asking that this permission be formalized as shown on drawing II . (2} We had not believed that any storage of "U-Haul" vehicles would be required on the site because of the proximity of the company's facility on Olson Memorial Highway in Minneapolis. However, this has not in practice proved to be a practical solution. We are therefore prepared to construct a screened storage area as shown on drawing II. (D) Additional Improvements in Interim S�age (1) We request permission to blacktop the three park- ing areas designated on drawing II. � (2) Tnle propose to construct a parts warehouse and automobile shop on tY�e east side of Louisiana, immediately south of the railroad right-of-way. Pending construction of the storm sewer in connection with the I-394 project, we will provide pond- ing to the south and east of the structure. (After construction of the storm sewer, as shown on drawing III, the ponding area would be used to construct an office-warehouse building. ) (3) Until construction of the waxehouse and shop building, we are (by separate application) seeking permission to use the building at 704 Pennsylvania Avenue South for shop purposes. (4) We propose to widen and install a divider in the access from Louisiana Avenue to 7400 Wayzata Boulevard, and to provide �n access to the property on the west, all as shown on drawing II. � -3- T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984 FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR � SUBJECT: AMENDMENT OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #82-4 - 6980 WAYZATA BOULEYARD On February 16, 1982 the Golden Valley City Council in accordance with Section 20 of the City Zoning Code issued to Executive Leasing Corporation a Conditional Use Permit to operate a U-Haul truck and trailer rental business in conjunction with a gasoline service station at 6980 Wayzata Boulevard which is located within a Industrial Zoning District. The site in question is located on the northeas,t corner of the intersection of Louisiana Avenue South and T.H. 12. Conditions of approval on this particular conditional use permit were two: 1 . The operators of said business understand and agree not to park any rental trucks and/or trailers within any parking area needed for required off- street parking as noted by the City Zoning Ordinance in accordance with the approved site plan. 2. All vehicles and equipment used for rental purposes must be stored elsewhere on the site and properly screened from view. Again, as in the previous two matters to come before the Planning Commission, this particular situation is quite similar to the others in that the proponent at the time, Executive Leasing Corporation, did not fulfill its obligations or • live up to the conditions placed on Conditional Use Permit 82-4. Some time within the past six to eight months Lupient Leasing Incorporated acquired the interests of Executive Leasing Corporation on this property and proceeded to continue operations as a service station and a truck and trailer rental faci- lity. However, the required conditions still did not receive any immediate attention. Subsequently, after noting a long period of time in which the site plan obviously was not being adhered to, rental vehicles and equipment were scattered indiscriminately around the site and parking priorities obviously changed, automobiles were parked helter-skelter around the site and the addi- tion of a propane fuel tank was also added to the former approved parking area in front of the service station, the City notified Lupient Leasing Incorporated late in 1983 that these violations were still in existance and apparently nothing had been done to correct the situation. The proponent was advised at that time that if some action was not taken within a reasonable period of time, the City would have no choice but to ask the City Council to consider revoca- tion of the Conditional Use Permit in question. In addressing the situation as it presented itself, Lupient Leasing Incorporated has submitted an application requesting amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 along with a modified site plan which they feel would adequately take care of all the outstanding violations and noncompliance with permit conditions on this site. Attached you will find a memorandum which covers this particular matter as well as addresses itself to other matters in the area involving the same proponent and how they intend to rectify this situation along with a site plan that graphically depicts their proposed solutions to the problems. � Golden Valley Planning Commission -2- February 23, 1984 � According to .Section 20.03 Subd. G of the Golden Valley City Zoning Code the Planning Commission is required to make findings and recortanendations to the City Council based upon any or all of ten particular factors (which need not be weighed equally). Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider favorably the following findings based on the ten factors listed in the Zoning Code: 1 . No where else in the City of Golden Valley does this particular use as pro- posed by the proponent for U-haul rental of trucks and trailers exist. In the past there have been such uses but at the present time this is the only service of this nature provided within the City although it is available in adjacent communities and elsewhere in the Metropolitan area. It would be our finding that such vehicle and equipment rental does have a demonstrated need within the City of Golden Valley, if handled properly. 2. The proposed use outlined in the amended Conditional Use Permit #82-4 would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Golden Valley as adopted by the City Council in 1982. 3. There appears to be no apparent adverse effect upon property values in the surrounding neighborhood as a result of this amendment to Conditional Use Permit #82-4. , 4. Amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 does not appear to have any adverse effect on anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic � flow and congestion in the area at the present time. Closing of the one driveway entrance in all likelihood as mentioned in the previous memo should help traffic movement in a safer manner although not necessarily in a faster manner. 5. Amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 would in no way increase the population and/or density upon the surrounding land uses. 6. There is no evidence to indicate that amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 would in any way increase noise levels as a result of that use being located at this location. 7. Amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 should in no way produce any odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration caused by the proposed use beyond that which might possibly be generated from that site at the present time. 8. There is no evidence to indicate that amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4 would in any way increase the number of flies, rats, or other animals or vermin in the area as a result of this proposed use. � Golden Valley Planning Commission -2- February 23, 1984 � 9. Visual appearance of the proposed structure and/or land use should improve the appearance of this particular intersection for so long as this property is being used for the uses that will be approved. 10. There does not appear to be any other affect, adverse or otherwise upon the general public health, safety and welfare of the City and its residents as a result of the amendment of Conditional Use Permit #82-4. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a favorable recom- mendation to the City Council for approval of amendment to Conditional Use Permit #82-4 subject to the following conditions: 1 . The operators of said business understand and agree not to park any rental trucks and/or trailers within any parking area designated for required off- street parking to be provided for the service station use only as quoted by the City Zoning Ordinance and in accordance with the approved site plan. 2. Two parking stalls as shown on the approved site plan in the southeast corner of the site may be reserved for U-haul trucks and/or trailers as a minimal display type situation. However, all other rental trucks, trailers and any other equipment must be placed at a location on the site and pro- perly screened from view from all sides. Note according to the site plan such a screened storage area is proposed in the northeast corner of the • site. Staff would recommend that this U-Haul storage area be moved down to the approximate east center of the property north of the service station and in an area designated to be paved asphalt for the parking of vehicles. This would move it further away from the commercial restaurants up on the inter- section of Market Street and Louisiana and would make it closer with better access to the actual rental operation, inasmuch as the remainder of that blacktop parking area is designated to carry vehicles belonging to Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company. 3. Violation of any of the above conditions or any other applicable require- ments of the City Zoning Code shall be grounds for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.

We are submitting with our current applications three drawings: (I) one ehowing the current status of the properties, (II) a second showing the proposed interim stage of our plan, to be in effect from now until I-394 is constructed, and (III) a third drawing describing the permanent stage of our long-range plan. As will be noted, the interim stage (drawing II) contemplates continued (but temporary) use of the structures that are the subject of the permits, and the final plan (drawing III) calls for the complete elimination of those structures. As a part of the final stage, in addition to the impZOVements shown on drawing III, we may also propose the development of a major-brand eervice station on the remainder of the property at 6980 Wayzata Boulevard. (We have already been contacted by a major oil com- pany proposing such a development. ) Such a development would • degend, in part, on the extent of the final highway taking. • As indicatea, pending completion of the I-394 construc- tion, we are proposing the interim plan depicted on drawing II . In order to enable the existing structures •to function during the interim, we have applied for the following moaifications of the existing permit conditions: (A) Permit No. 82-2 (1) Since the issuance of the permit it has been con- firmed by the staff that landscaping is required only on the�: south and east boundaries of the property. T'he existing land- � scaping and proposed additional landscaping is shown in green on drawing II. We are requesting approval of that landscaping plan. (2) The gasoline pumps (except for the one allowed by the permit� have been removed. The underground fuel storage tanks have not been removed because the planned addition to the � building has not and will not be constructed. Z'here are four separate tanks in the same excavation, one of which serves the one remainin� pump. We are requesting a delay in removal of the tanks until the structure is removed in connection with the per- manent stage of the plan (drawing III) . (3) Since the addition to the structure was never con- i structed, the reference to "exterior building materials" is no longer pertinent ana should be deleted. (4) In view of the closing of two of the three entrances to the prbperty, we are requesting permission to park ,15 cars on the south and east of the structure, and additianal cars on the north side of the structure, all as shown on drawing II. This will enable us to park all nonOldsmobile rental vehicles behind the structure. (B) Permit No. 82-3 We propose to revise the vehicle parking on the prop- erty as shown on drawing II . This will entail the following: (1) Closing the western-most entrance on the south side of the property, which will increase the number of parking places. This is being done primarily to prevent illegal cut- throughs to avoid traffic backups at the intersection. It also provides additional needed parking, particularly in view of the propane storage tank referred to in the next paragraph. (2) Permitting the propane storage tank to remain on the south boundary of the property, in an area that would • -2- . � : � otherwise be devoted to parking. That location is preferred by the fire marshal and enables us to have the tank under surveillance at all times. (C) Permit No. 82-4 (1) Although the permit restricted the parking of rental vehicles, the staff recognized our need for our customers to have visual contact with "U-Haul" vehicles. Consequently, we were told that there would be no objection to the parking of one t�uck and one trailer on the east eide of the property. We are asking that this permission be formalized as shown on drawing II . (2) We had not believed that any storage of "U-Haul" vehicles would be required on the site because of the proximity of tlze company's facility on Olson Memorial Aighway in � Minneapolis. However, this has not in practice proved to be a practical solution. We are therefore prepared to construct a screened storage area as shown on drawing II . (D) Additional Improvements in Interim Stage (1) We request permission to blacktop the three park- , ing areas designated on drawing II . • (2) We propose to construct a parts warehouse and automobile shop on tlze east side of Louisiana, immediately south of the railroad right-of-way. Pending construction of the storm . sewer in connection with the I-394 project, we will provide pond- ing to the south and east of the structure. (After construction of the storm sewer, as shown on drawing III, the ponding area would be used to construct an office-warehouse building. ) (3) Until construction of the warehouse and shop building, we are (by separate application) seeking permission to use the building at 704 Pennsylvania Avenue South for shop purposes. (4) We propose to widen and install a divider in the access from Louisiana Avenue to 7000 Wayzata Boulevard, and to provide an access to the property on the west, all as shown on drawing II. � -3- � T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984 FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING & REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR • SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 704 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SOUTH IN AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT Jim Lupient Oldsmobile Company of Golden Valley is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate a shop for the purpose of reconditioning used automobiles at the above mentioned addressed which is zoned industrial and located at the approximate intersection of Laurel Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue South and would consist of the southwest corner of that intersection. The site in question is presently owned by the Possis Machine Corporation and has a industrial type structure on the property at the present time. The proponent would take over the exiting shop facilities within the structure and possibly sublet some of the smaller office space that is also part of the . structure. In addition a paved parking lot would be provided in the front of the building to accommodate approximately 16 automobiles. This parking would be setback a considerable distance from the right-of-way line of Pennsylvania Avenue South. Existing land use around this site consists of the Possis Machine Corporation operation to the south and west and Liberty Carton facility imme- diately to the east across Pennsylvania Avenue and on the north separated by Laurel Avenue is a Single Family Residential Zoning District that has been deve- loped with single family homes. As a result of the adjacent residential zoning any industrial use or conditional use as requested must provide a vegetative or • fence screen separating the industrial and single family residential districts. The proponent is proposing to install evergreen trees at least six feet in height at the time of planting to replace the existing trees along that north line which are Russian Olives and do not provide much in the way of screening vision of the proposed parking area where certain numbers of automobiles could be stored. The site plan as attached clearly indicates that the existing structure on the property is built much closer to the south side lot line than the zoning ordi- nance permits. This should be a 20 foot setback from that side lot line in an Industrial Zoning District. The proposed parking area is also too close to the south property line. That should be located at least 10 feet away from the south property line and that 10 feet must be green or otherwise landscaped unless such setback requirements are granted a variance by the Board of Zoning Appeals. � Golden Valley Planning Commission -2- February 23, 1984 • According to Section� 20.03 Subd. G of the Golden Valley City Zoning Code the Planning Corronission is required to make findings and recommendations to the City Council based upon any or all of 10 listed factors (which need not be weighed equally). Staff would like to recommend and present to the Planning Commission suggested findings based on the ten factors listed in Section 20.03 Subd. G as follows: 1 . Inasmuch as the City of Golden Valley has several automobile dealers and one service that they do provide is the sale and resale of used automobiles it would not appear unlikely that there would be some demonstrated need for the use proposed. 2. The use proposed within this request for Conditional Use Permit would be consistant with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Golden Valley as adopted in 1982. 3. There is no evidence that this proposed land use and Conditional Use Permit would have any significant adverse effect on property values in the neigh- boring areas. The area of most concern would be the residential neigh- borhood to the north but that neighborhood has been in existance for many years with an industrial zoning district immediately to the south and apparently land values have not been adversely affected. 4. There is no clear indication of what the traffic generation in and out of • this facility would be. However, due to the nature of the business and the fact th�t it is for a auto dealer as opposed to the general public it is reasonable to believe that there would be no measureable adverse affect of anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the area. 5. Approval of this conditional use permit would in no way have any effect on any increases in population and density upon the surrounding land uses. 6. There is no evidence to suggest that the proposed use on this site would increase noise levels because of that use being locate� there. Certainly not to point beyond which such noise levels have existed in the past. 7. There is no evidence to suggest that any odors, dust, smoke, gas, or vibra- tion would be caused by the proposed land use over and above what might be generated by that particular area at the present time. 8. Again there is no direct evidence to indicate any increase in flies, rats or other animals ar vermin in the area to be caused by the proposed use. 9. If the required site plan is followed through with and if the site is pro- perly landscaped according to the zoning ordinance, there would be no reason to expect anything but improvement of the visual appearance of this proposed structure and land use at this location. 10. There does not appear to be any other effect, adverse or otherwise upon the • general public health, safety and welfare of the City and it's residents should this conditional use permit be approved and the use allowed to be established. Golden Valley Planning Commission -3- February 23, 1984 • Therefore, after careful review of this particular request and inspection of the site proposed it is the recormnendation of staff that Planning Commission recom- mend to the City Council that this Conditional Use Permit for an automobile reconditioning facility and possible office sublease located at 704 Pennsylvania Avenue South be granted subject to the following conditions: 1 . That the site be properly landscaped and maintained particularly with respect to the required screening along the north property line separating the industrial zoning district from the residential zoning district. All inaccordance with the City Zoning Ordinance and City Landscaped Standards. 2. The paved asphalt parking lot shall be the only location where motor vehicles of any type can be parked whether they are visiting or there for a • lengthly stay and absolutely no parking shall be allowed on any grass or sodded landscaped area. 3. If some of the smaller area in the building should be subleased for office space the required parking for such office space must be made up from the paved parking lot infront of the building. 4. The parking lot must be moved to a point 10 feet from the nearest site lot line or a variance obtained from the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). • 5. Violation of any of the above conditions or any other provision of the City Zoning Code shall be grounds for the City Council to consider revocation or suspension of this conditional use permit.

(HIGHWAY 12) `�� `� � OLD��iOBILE CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN 6��546 2222 January 31, 1984 . To: Golden Valley Planning Commission _On February 16, 1982, the C'ity Council issued Condi- tional Use Permits Nos. 62-2, 82-3 and 82-4 with regard to the properties located at 6980 and 7000 Wayzata Boulevard. At the time the permits were issued no final decision had been made with respect to the location and construction of Interstate Highway 394. These uncertainties and other unanticipated events created difficulties in fully complying with the conditions set fort'h in the permits. T2iis situation ]Zas been discussed from time to time wtith the staff, and efforts have been made to achieve fuller com- • pliance with the conditions of the permits. The decisions with respect to I 394 now appear to be final. With the location and timing of construction Yiaving been � determined, we are now in a position to develop a long-range plan for our property and our various operations . This long-range plan must be put into place in two stages and entails certain modifications of the conditions now set forth in the permits . We are submitting with our current applications three drawings: (I) one showing the current status of the properties, ( II) a second showing the proposed interim stage of our plan, to be in effect from now until I-394 is constructed, and (III) a third drawing describing the permanent stage of our long-range plan. As will be noted, the interim stage (drawing II) contemplates continued (but temporary) use of the structures that are the subject of the permits, and the final plan (drawing III) calls for the complete elimination of those structures. As a part of the final stage, in addition to the improvements shown on drawing III, we may also propose the development of a major-brand service station on the remainder of the prop�rty at 6980 Wayzata Boulevard. (We have already been contacted by a major oil com- ' pany proposing such a development. ) Such a development would depend, in part, on the extent of the final highway taking. .
