neighbors in his area regarding Duluth Street and that they would appreciate a
Planning Comnission recommendation to the C9ty Council against any further
�
Planning Comnission Minutes of October 8, 1984 -2-
• construction of Duluth Street until such time as development of the General
Mills property requires completion of Duluth Street as a collector.
Commissioner Leppik stated that it is premature to complete Duluth Street before
there is a demand for such completion, specially when it is opposed by the
neighbors around Duluth Street.
Comnissioner Singer stated that it is difficult for the City to predict
future development of the General Mi11s property and as such completion of
Duluth Street is not necessary until such development actually takes place.
It was moved by Conenissioner Leppik and seconded by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt
to recomnend that the City Council take no action to change the collector
designation of Duluth Street in the adopted Golden Va11ey Comprehensive P1an and
that the City Council not undertake further construction of Duluth Street until
development of the General Mills property affecting the traffic pattern at the
north end of the property necessitates completion of Duluth Street.
Comrnissioners Leppik, McCracken-Hunt and Singer voted in favor of the motion,
and Acting Chairman Prazak abstained. The motion carried.

FROM: ALDA PEIKERT, PLANNER
SUBJECT: INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RES�DENTIAL
__ FACILITY FOR THE GHRONICALLY MENTALLY ILL AT 6739 GOLDEN= VALLEY ROAD
IN A NNLTIPLE DWELLING ZONING DISTRICT :
S .
�
The proponent, OASIS, requests a Conditional Use Permit for a residential faci-
lity for the chronically mentally ill at 6739 Golden Valley Road in a Multiple
Dwelling (M-1 ) Zoning District. Attached is a memorandum prepared by Reno Van
Putten of the City Attorney's Office in response to inquiries by the City Mayor
concerning procedure for dealing with the Conditional Use Permit request under
the City Zoning Code. Also attached is Section 3A.11 of the City Zoning Code
applicable to group homes.
The propased location of the residential facility for the chronically mentally
ill is an existing eight unit apartment building. Plans for conversion of the
apartment building to a residential facility are 3ncluded in the attached
program proposal and description submitted by the proponent with the Conditional
Use Permit application.
Planning staff referred to the Golden Valley Human Rights Commission (HRC)
� Section 3A.11 Paragraph 3 of the Zoning Code requiring establishment of an advi-
sory committee and requested that the HRC oversee compliance with that require-
ment. The HRC held a special meeting October 3, 1984 on the proposed
residential facility for the chronically mentally ill and is expected to prepare
a report and recommendations for the City Council .
The proposal was also referred to the City Department of Public Safety and City
Department of Zoning and Inspections for review and comment. Attached is a
memorandum from the Deputy Director of Public Safety explaining need for a for-
malized arrangement with a secure mental health treatment facility to accept
persons from the proposed residential facility in the event they require removal
by the City Police. The proponent informs Planning staff that this type of
written agreement is required by the County and State as well and that documen-
tation of a formal agreement will be available prior to the time of the City
Council hearing on the Conditional Use Permit. The City Director of Zoning and
Inspections, Licenses specified Building Code, fire safety and maintenance
requirements which are incorporated into recommended conditions of approval of
the Conditional Use Permit.
Sec�ion 20.03.G. of the City Zoning Ordinance provides that in considering a
Conditional Use Permit application, the Planning Commission shall make findings
and- recommendations to the City Council on ten items, which need not be given
equal weight in the consideration. Examination of the proposed residential
facility for the chronically mentally ill in view of each of the ten items
follows:
�
� 1 . Demonstrated need for the proposed use.
As explained in narrative submitted with the application, it is in recogni-
tion of the need for residential facilities for the chronicall� mentally ill
in suburban locations that the State and County are currently ,�unding a
-- number of such facilities. The proposed facility would serve �he west
s suburban area in which no similar facility now exists. -
�
2. - Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The proposed use is in conformance with the adopted City of Golden Valley
Comprehensive Plan which specifies High Density Res9dential as the long term
land use for the sub�ect property.
3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area.
Surrounding land uses include the Seventh Day Adventist Reading Room adja-
cent to the property on the east, the Golden Valley Golf Course to the south
separated by the railroad line and also to the northwest across Golden
Valley Road, and a single family residential neighborhood to the northeast
across Golden Valley road. The proposed facility location is, therefore,
separated from single family residential development by Golden Valley Road.
Proposed use of the subject existing apartment building as a residential
facility for the chronically mentally ill will not affect values of
surrounding properties.
• 4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow
and congestion in the area.
As explained by the proponent, residents of the proposed residential faci-
lity will not have cars. Traffic generated by the proposed use is expected
to be less than that currently generated by the apartment building
residents.
5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land
uses.
The proposed residential facility for 18 residents does not represent an
increase in population over the current apartment building population.
6. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use.
The proposed use would result in no increase in noise levels.
7. - Any odors, dust, smoke, gas, or vibration to be caused by the proposed use.
-The proposed use would not cause any odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration.
8. Any increase in flies, rats, or other animals or vermin in the-area to be
caused by the proposed use.
� The proposed use would not result in any increase in flies, rats or other
animals or vermin in the area.
• 9. Visual appearance of any proposed structure or use.
The operators of the residential facility for the chronically mentally ill
propose no alteration of the exterior appearance of the sub3ect existing
apartment building and site. -
�
10' Any other effect upon the general public health, safety, and w�lfare of the
: City and its residents. '
�
Staff foresees no other effects on the general public health, safety and
welfare.
Review of the proposed residential facility for the chronically mentally ill in
view of the ten factors for examination of a Conditional Use Permit application
indicates a favorable recommendation. Staff suggests that the Planning
Commission reconanend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit
requested by OASIS for a residential facility for the chronically mentally ill
at 6739 Golden Valley Road in a Multiple Dwelling Zoning District subject to the
following conditions:
1 . The operators of the residential facility shall submit evidence of
compliance with all state regulations prior to City Council issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit.
2. An advisory committee in compliance with Section 3A.11 Paragraph 3 of the
• City of Golden Valley Zoning Ordinance shall be established and shall
operate in a manner satisfactory to the Golden Valley Human Rights
Commission (HRC).
3. The operators of the residential facility shall comply with all requirements
and recommendations of the Golden Valley Human Rights Commission.
4. A formal written agreement sha11 be concluded between the operators of the
residential facility and a secure mental health treatment facility within a
distance considered reasonable by the City Public Safety Department, which
agreement shall provide for admittance to the secure mental health treatment
facility of residents of the residential facility who are unmanageable and
must be removed by the police and who are inappropriate for admittance to
Hennepin County Jail for criminal acts and shall further provide that the
costs of any such admission be covered by Hennepin County, the residential
facility operators or the patient.
5. Smoke detection for each room and other common areas sha11 be provided, and
fire extinguishers shall be placed as directed by the City Fire Marshal.
6. Fire separation shall be provided in the garages to separate areas used for
_ crafts and recreation from those remaining in garage use.
7. Toilet facilities for staff and occupants shall be provided in_accordance
with the Minnesota State Code and Uniform Building Code (UBC).
,
• 8. All waste generated by the occupancy shall be stored internally or within an
enclosure n�eeting the approval of the City Building Inspector until removed
from the premises.
• 9. The residential facility structure, premises and program shall comply with
all requirements and reco►mnendations of the City Building inspector, City
Fire Marshal and City Sanitarian. _
�
l0. Failure to comply with one or nare of the above conditions sha�l be grounds . .
� for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.

MEMORANDUM

TC1: Mayor Anderson E
F1�M: Reno Van Putten
DATE: October 15, 1984
RE: Residential Facilities for the Chronically Mentally I11
The Golden Valley Zoning Code provides for group homes in
Residential Zoning Districts . Section 3A. 11,2 . It also permits
the use of group homes in a Multiple Dwelling Zone but only as a
Conditional Use, subject to the general restrictions upon
residential and multiple dwelling use as found in the Code.
Section 4 . 02 . Based on those sections, a Conditional Use Permit
is necessary to establish a group home in a Multiple Dwelling
Zoned District .
• Besides complying with the general "community standards"
under our Code, the group home must also comply with all state
regulations . Evidence of such compliance is a prerequisite to
Council approval . If the applicant and the site for the home
fully comply with all state and local regulations , approval must
be given. If it is not given, a denial would be arbitrary as a
matter of law and, i� this case, could be considered a violation
of the mentally ill ' s Civil Rights . J.W. vs . City of Tacoma,
720 F2d 1126 (cited in the Brooklyn Center case) .
In conclusion, applicant ' s request should be for a
Conditional Use Permit under Sections 3A. 11 ,2 and 4 . 02 of the
Golden Valley Zoning Code. If applicant complies with the
specific standards of the state and local laws, the City Council
must grant the permit as a matter of law.

7. Reason for Requesting a Special Use Permit: �
,
The applicant proposes to develop and operate a licensed residen-
� tial treatment facility serving,eighteen mentally ill persons, age
eighteen and over. Under the City of Golden Valley residential
zoninq codes such a facility is known as a "group home" and is a
permitted use {Section 3A 02. ) . Since the facility will serve
more than six residents, the zoning code also specif#es acquisition
of a Special Use Permit (Section 3A. 11. ) . The f�ligwing narrative
_will present information required to qrant the Speci�l Use Permit.
=Program Puprpose and Philosophy:
r
�The name of the groposed program is OASIS, and is being developed �
by The Kelly Institute. The purpose of the program is to provide
rehabilitative services to mentally ill persons. �The philosophy
of community-based mental health treatment is based on two major
principles:
1. Persons with mental health problems should be treated
as alose to home as possible, in a setting that provides
minimal restrictions on their daily lives.
2. Treatment in the community is more effective for teaching
them the skills they need to live independently in that
community.
Res�idential treatment in an ideal settinq to teach people how to
cope with the stresses of day-to-day living. Residential programs
focus on increasing independent living skills in a real-life setting
by on-site teaching of cookinq, parenting, cleaning, budgetinq, health
� and transportation skills. There is also an emphasis on building
therapeutic relationships and teaching social and recreational skills
Overall, clients are encouraged to increase their ability to set goals
for their lives, increase their participation in the broader community
and become more independent, financially and socially. Most residents
will be able to complete the OASIS program in one year.
There are several reasons for locating the OASIS program in. the
Golden Valley a=ea. First of all, few programs for the mentally ill
currently exist in the Metro suburban area, and therefore suburban
residents with mental health problems must seek services in the inner
city, often in unfamiliar surroundings far from. families and friends.
While the OASIS program will accept residents from all of Hennepin
County, it will expecially appeal to communities in the West Suburban
area. A second reason for locating in Golden Valley is the overall
_. high quality of life in the city. Unfortunately, many of the inner
city residential mental health programs are located in the high crime
areas, and clients are often the victims of abuse. This should be
much less of a problem in the Golden Valley area. A final reason
for locatinq in Golden Valley is that the State legislature and
Hennepin County is requiring that new programs be located in suburban
• areas where such programs do not exist to better serve the needs of
those communities.
OASIS Ownership and Management:
� The OASIS program will be a privately owned for-profit program, owned �
and administered by Henry Norton, Jr. Before entering the inental
health profession eight years ago, Mr. Norton was a vice-president
�
of the investment banking firm of Dain, Bosworth. Since the program
is operated for-profit, no property taxes will be lost to the City
af Golden Valley. OASIS will be one of three programs owned and
operated by Henry Nortan. These programs are known as Relly Programs
. and consist of an outpatient mental health/chemical dependency pro-
gram located at 2550 Pillsbury Avenue South, Minneapolis, and The
Bill Relly House, an in-patient residential program for the mentally
ill/chemically dependent located at 2550 Pillsbury Av_enue South.
Bill Kelly House has operated for over two years, se�ves twenty-
three residents, and is fully licensed by the Minnesc�ta Department
of Health and by the Minnesota Welfare Department. $elly programs .
;�re well respected in the eocial service field, and �ielcome visits
�rom Golden Valley officials or residents wishinq to learn more about
the organization and its servioes.
Types of CZients Accepted Into The OASIS Program:
Clients may be referred to the OASIS Program by physicians, social
workers, clergy or family members. People may also directly request
admission. '
Once the facility has received a referral, a screening process is
initiated. Facility staff will review the prospective client's
medical, social, psychiatric, family and vocational history to
determine whether the person is appropriate for admission. Clients
who are in need of hospitalization because of suicidal or dangerous
behavior are not accepted into community-based facilities. Clients
must be willing and able to participate in house programs.
Once a client is admitted into the facility, he/she is given an
• orientation to the program. A professional team then works with the
client to assess his/her needs and strengths and to establish an
individual program plan that defines �oals and activities. This
plan is reviewed at least every three months. �
The OASIS program�-�aill admit clients diagnosed as mentally ill and
also experiencing behavior problems. Behavior problems might in-
clude such things as self-injurious behavior, including previous
suicide attempts, eatinq disorders, or chemical abuse/dependency.
As will be mentioned, the OASIS program will have special staff,
training, resident supervision, and programming to ensure that
problem vehaviors are effectively dealt with. In addition, it is
important to remember that c].ients wi11 be carefully screened and
those needing hospitalization or of danger to themselves or others
will not be admitted.
Staffing:
Staff includes:
1. Administrator (part-time) ; 2. Program Director; 3.
� � � Mental Health Therapist; 4. Two Mental Health Counselors;
5. Ten Mental Health Workers; 6. Recreation Therapist
(Part Time) ; 7. Secretary/Receptionist; 6. Nurse;
9. Maintenance.
i During the daytime programming hours (8AM-5PM) , there will be a
total of eight staff on duty. From 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM in the
morning, there will be two staff on duty, and from 3:DOAM to
8:00 AM, one staff will be on duty (awake) . The OASIS staff/
resident ratio 3s somewhat h'igher than other residential programs,
ensurinq excellent resident supervision. In addition, one senior
staff inember will be on call via a paging eystem at all times to
provide backup in case of smergencies or crises.
• All candidates for OASIS employment will be carefully screened to
ensure that academic and work experiences are at a level necessary
to work in the OASIS program. Staff will underqo an extensive
orientation and training, and receive on-going train3�ng in such areas
as crisis management, medication administration, and �eme=gency pro-
cedures. OASIS will make an effort to recruit staff �nembers from
�Golden Valley and other Western suburbs. -
$ -
�aily Program Structure and Resident Supervision:
The OASIS program will be a highly structured proqram consisting of
a daily schedule of group therapy sessions, individual counseling,
independent livinq skills classes, and supervised recreation/social
activities. (See attached Planned Activity Schedule) .
The schedule inclures evening house meetings, support groups, and
recreation activit3es. In addition, four hours of planned activi-
ties will occur on Saturday and Sunday, as well as special activi-
ties on holidays.
Although residents will be kept busy much of the day and evening
with therapeutic and recreation activities, they will have some
free time to pursue their own interests. Residents will be coun-
selled and taught how to use this free time constructively. All
free time including weekend passes will be purchased with "points"
each resident earns for attending program qroups and �lasses and
• for displaying appropriate behavior. Residents� wili-be-_required to
sign in and out and indicate their:.destination-�when':�akinq free
time and passes. Residents mis-using their free time will be re-
strictred to the facility until this behavior improves. No resi-
dents will be allowed to roam in residenti�al neighborhoods for
which they have no- specific reason for being in.
Staff will supervise residents at all times, and are specially
trained to intervene early to avoid any crisis situations. If a
crisis should arise and a resident's behavior becomes unmanageable,
the =esident will be removed from the facility immediately and taken
by staff, ambulance or police to the Hennepin County Crisis Inter-
vention Center in Minneapolis or the Golden ValYey Health Center.
The OASIS program will cooperate closely with the Hennepin County
Pre-petition Screening Committee to ensure that any resident dis-
playing unmanageable behaviors is promptly removed from the facil-
ity and hospitalized in a setting where the behavior can be
stabilized.
� Licensin and Requlations:
. The OASiS
program will be closely monitored by a variety of
agencies responsible for setting standards. These include:
l. Health Department. The Minnesota Department of Health
• establishes standards related to sanitation and the
health care needs of residents. This includes policies
and procedures for storinq, administering and recording _
medications; nutritional and food preparation/storage;
nursing coveraqe; residents' rights; medical records, etc.
2. Fire and Safety Ins ections:
_ P
� OASIS program will be monitored_'for complianee �rlth State �ire-
safety codes. This includes such items as smoke detectors,
self - closing fire doors, fire alarms, fire extinquishers,
sprinkler systems, and emergency evacuation plan� and drills.
3. ' Ci't� Housihq Inspection Off ices: �
r
_ �
; This agency monitors the condition of the physical plant, inclu-
¢ ding wirinq, plumbing, roofing, structural integrity and main-
� tenance/repairs. Standards are set for facility occupancy, �
based on the number and size of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.
r
. 4• � City �Zoning Department:
Cities also regulate zesidential facilities through the condi- �
tional use permit process. This allows cities to look at off-
street parking, waste disposal, etc. , and to allow neighborhood
residents an annual forum to discuss issues.
5. � Minnes�oata Department of Human Services:
All residential mental health facilities must be licensed by
DHS under the standards set forth in Rule 36. These standards
govern the provision of inental health services to residents.
Through Rule 36, the Department of Human Services monitors
staff training and qualifications; staff ratio; comprehensive
• program services; admissions, and discharge policies and pro-
cedures; resident rights; and record-keeping. The Department
requires each program to have an advisory committee and a
resident council to allow for participative decision-making.
.. Each facility is also required to report any incidents of sus-
pected abuse a� neglect to the proper investigatory agency.
6. ' Hennepin County Depa'rtment of Community 8�ervices: �
The OASIS program will receive major funding through a contract
for services with Hennepin County. When Hennepin County con-
tracts with a facility, the contract establishes detailed ex-
pectations for the services to be provided, the staffing pattern,
evaluation data to be reported, and financial expenditures. Fin-
ancial and evaluation data is monitored quarterly; program
quality is monitored by on-site visits at least semi-annually.
' Th�e nASIS� Facility and L�ikely Impact on the Neighborhood: �
The proposed facility is located at 6739 Golden Valley Road, Golden
. Valley, Minn. The building, of brick and stucco construction, con-
tains eight apartment units �onsisting of three two-bedroom units,
and five one-bedroom units. The building is approximately twenty
years old and has been maintained at a high level. Adjacent to but
separate from the apartments are eight garages and a large off-
� street black-topped parking area.
� No exterior changes to the building will be necessary, nor will any
changes to the lot or landscaping. The exterior will remain as is,
and nothinq will be added to distinguish it from any other small
apartment buildinq in the area. Some interior• remodeling will be
• necessary, including installation of a kitchen and common dining
area, partitioning of resident rooms, and construction of staff
offices and meeting rooms. A half-time maintenance person will
be provided to ensure a hiqh quality of facility and _ground main-
�enance. Residents will also participate in some housekeeping and
maintenance as part of their therapeutic program. _
�he facility is located on a one-acre lot with a large area of green
�pace includinq bushes and trees. There is a large backyard that is
well below street level so that it is for the most part not visible .
from Golden Valley Road or from the single-family homes north of �
Golden Valley Road. This will be an ideal area for resident outdoor
activities. To the East of the facility there is a small church
building, to the West, a portion of the golf course, and to the
South a row of large trees and bushes, a railroad spur, and the golf .
course. The facility is located a good distance from the nearest
structures, and is well-separated from single family homes by its
larqe front yard and by Golden Valley Road.
There is an estimated twenty-eight to thirty off-street parking spot�
on the lot, including the eight garages. The maximum number of staff
parking in the lot at any one time will be eight. During a typical
• week day there may be from three to five visitors to the facility.
Residents will not be allowed to have cars while in the OASIS program,
but will be taught to use the bus system. Given this level of use,
parking and traffic patterns should be at a level equal to or less
� than that experienced at the present time. �
Community Input and Participation: .
It will be the po�icy of OASIS management and staff to be open at
all ti�es to comm�nity input and participation, both during the pro-
gram development phase as well as the day-to-day ogeration once the
program has begun. Community members and city officials will be in-
cluded on the facility's advisory board, which will meet at least
quarterly. Any problems or questions regarding the operation of the
facility will be dealt with in a prompt and effective manner.
�
8. General Area Map:
The lot is nearly an acre in size and a triangle (sawed off at
West point) in Bhape. The South eide borders on the 48 foot wide
� Minnesota Western Railroad spur. On the other side of the tracks
is the Golden Valley Country Club grounds. To the east is a large
lot with the First Christ Science Church, a quaint white building.
To the East of the church is the recreation area (including tennis
courts) of a large apartment complex. Ther are no sitigle family
residences at all on the South, East or West sides. _
_
Te the North is the heavily-traveled Golden Valley road. From the
�ront door facing Northwest is the golf course, and to the North
�nd Northeast are approximately 12 single family homes within two �
`blocks on Idaho and Jersey Avenues. Between Jersey and Hampshire �
lies a nice park with a hockey rink, basketball court, and baseball
fields. North of this area is Bassett Creek.
9. Detailed Site Plan: .
The lot is 351.7 feet on Golden Valley Road. The two story apart-
ment building sets back 50 ' from Golden Valley Road and 50' from
the easterly line. The garages, eiqht in a row, are 88' by 22' or
1936 square feet. The apartment building is 80' by 42 feet covering
3360 square feet. Total building square footage is 5296 square feet
or 11.7$ of total lot square footage of 45,277.
The garages are also set back 50 ' from Golden Valley Road. The lot
slopes to the rear so the back door is a walkout from the lower
level. The lot is attractively landscaped with evergreens and
. deciduous trees. The back of the lot adjacent to the railroad tracks
is heavily wooded.
Buildings: Under the new use as a residential treatment center
there would be no change in the exterior design or appearance of
the buildings. `— r,,.
Remodeling of the interior would be necessary to convert the upper
. four apartments into sleepinc� rooms for all 18 residents. There
will be three large triple rooms, threee doubles and three single
rooms. There are four full baths on the upper floor. In addition
to the bedrooms, there will be one large living room, a large group
room and two smaller lounges.
In the lower level, one apartment will be converted to a kitchen
and dining area. The other three apartments will be used for
offices and therapy rooms.
The stoves will be removed but the refrigerators will remain for
snacks and soft drinks.
� �our of the garages will be used for crafts and recreation on a
three-season basis.

SUBJECf: Conditional Use Permit Application for a Reside�iel Facility
_- for the Chronically Mentally I11 at 6739 Golden �/elley Road in
: a N�ultiple Dwelling (M-1) Zoning District �
�
On Wednesday, Oetober 3rd, I met with a subcomnittee of the H�anan Rights
C,rnmission and the two proponents for the above facility, Mr. Henry W. Norton
and Mr. W. David Nbrin. '!he proponents presented the attached program proposal
to us whieh describes the progrem and staffing pattern needed for
imple�nentation.
�e feature of the progrem that I believe needs to be formalized in the con-
ditional use permit centers on the role the police are to play in the event e
cesident of the facility becomes unmanageable and must be r�noved by police.
Their proposal anticipates that the police will transport an u[unanageable resi-
dent to the Aennepin County Crisis Intervention Genter in Minneapolis or to the
Golden Valley Aealth Center in G�lden Valley. When I questioned the proponents
relative to any formalized arranganents they may have with either of these faci-
lities, they stated that thece are no arrangements between their organization
and either of these mental health facilities stipulating that they will , in
faet, accept residents fra�n this facility into their unit in the event a resi-
� dent must be renaved by the police.
Our experience in dealing with similar faeilities in Golden Valley has been
sometimes eanplieated. The Golden Valley Health Center will consistently not
aceept anyone in their facility that is not covered by private health insurance.
There is no pre-euistii�g agreement between this organization and the Golden
Valley Health Center or the Hennepin County Crisis Intervention Center that will
cequire them to take residents that are no longer appropriate for this cesiden-
tial treatrnent setting. In this event� what often happens is that the poliee
have a mentally ill person in custody and absolutely nowhere to take him/ her
because all other faeilities suggested to the police will not accept their
elient for any nwnber of reasons.
For this reason, I earnn suggesting that the Kelly Institute (proponent) negotiate
a formal , written agreement with a secure mental health treatment facility
(preferrably North Nlernorial Hospital) speeifiying that they will admit
residents of this facility who are urunanageable and must be removed by the
police, and are inappropriate for edmittance to Hennepin Gounty Jail for crimi-
nal acts. Costs of any sueh admission must be covered by Aennepin County,
Helly Institute or the patient.
•
-2-
�
Adoption of this stipulation will prevent the unfoctunately all �oo cmmon
oceurrenee whece poliee are ealled to e treatment facility to t�ce mentally ill
snd um�anageable person(s) into eustody, but are unfortunately �ven no viable
elternative for their plaee,ment. Cire�tanees like this, �hen fhey srise for
t�e police department, require a great deal of time for us to find suitable pla-
c�dnent for persons who are indigent and mentally or emotionally incapeble of
esring for thenselves. The cost of this burden should not be borne by the citi-
zens of Giolden Valle3� but should be borne by the business running this faeility
for profit.
I stand ready to meet with yourself and/or members of the Planning C7aimission,
8unan Rights Cammission and/or members of the City Council ta diseuss my con-
eerns as stated in this memo.

Dear Alda:
As you have requested I have prepared and enclose herewith
a proposed revised draft of ordinance which would provide for
heliports as conditional uses in various of our city zoning districts.
� It is my opinion that the enactment of a regulatory ordinance
such as the one enclosed herewith would not run afoul of any of the
statutory or case law dealing with the question of federal or state
pre-emption in this area of jurisprudence. It is my judgment that
the normal and reasonable exercise of the police powers of zoning for
Minnesota municipal government aufihorize and permit that government
to reasonably regulate the location and physical attributes of
helicopter operations, concomitant with the rules and regulations
of the federal and state governments and their various delegated
agencies to also monitor and control operationa,l performance criteria.
If you have any further questions with respect to either the
authority for or content of the enclosed, please advise.
Very trul yours,
ert M. Skare
RMS/nk

FROM: Towhid Kazi , Planning Intern
RE: Application Procedure fo� a Heliport
In response to your inquiry about the application procedure for establish-
ing a heliport, staff at the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
Aviation Department provided the Planning Department the following
information:
1) The applicant has to obtain permission for operating a heli-
port from the local authority before a license is issued by
MnDOT.
2) The license fee is only $15.00 and takes three to four weeks
for approval.
3) The Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) gets involved
• if the flights do not meet F.A.A. standards and the flights
are hazardous to the public.
4) MnDOT processes� the application for a license and is respon-
sible for coordinating the application process with the
F.A.A. and local authority.
5) MnDOT has the authority to cancel a license if the operator
does not meet the requirements of the Local , State or
Federal Agency.
6) The local authority, i .e. municipal government, has the full
authority to impose any conditions for operatiny a heliport
provided the conditions are not unconstitutional .
7) The local authority may require a noise study done by the

SUBJECT: SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS ON PROCEDURES FOR GOLDEN HILLS
REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
Attached for the information of Planning Commissioners is the recortunendation
presented to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) by the Subcommittee
on Procedures for the Golden Hills Redevelopment Pro3ect. The HRA on October 9,
1984 received the recommendation for review and discussion at a future HRA
meeting.
Attachment: October 9, 1984 Memorandum from Dave Thompson and Larry Bakken

October 9. 1984
. TOs Golden Valley HRA
FROM: Dave Thompson
Larry Bakken
SUBJECTs Golden Hills Redevelopment
Your committee recomm�ends the followinq actfons and sequences
l. The City Council should adopt the pro}�osed Golden Hills Redevelopment
Plan following the scheduled public hearing.
Rationalei The Council has received the proposed construction
schedule for I-394, ar�d has entered into aa agreement
with 1�lnDOT reaardinq acquisition of excess right-of-Way.
The Council has an oblication to the property owners
as well as to the residential r►eiqhborhood to coordinate
redewelopment With this conetruction schedule.
2. The HItA ehould hold informal public hearings, �+ith the residents and
�vith the property owners directly affected, following adoptfon of
the redevelopment plan.
Rationales It is unlfkely that a majority of the residential
• neighborhood or the comnercial property owners will
attend the Council hearing on this plan. Theae additiona�
hearings will es�able the HRA to more directly address the
concerns of both regarding redevelopment and what the HRA
hopes to achieve. It would alao be appropriate for the
Chaizman of the Planninq Cot�nission to be present to
explain the Comsnission's comments and reconQnendations.
3. The HRA should next proceed to implement the plan. We believe the
HRA has three options at this staae:
a. Create a Golden Hills Redevelopment Conrtnisaion that would further
refine the plan, much as the Valley Swaze Comanission did for
Valley Square.
b. Ask for proposale Without additional refinement.
c. Have a feasibility study done by a consultant and zeviewed by
the Planning Comnission.
Aecotnnendation: A feasibility study by a consultant and review
by the Planninq Conanission.
•
• Rationale: While it may be politically wise to create a Golden
Hills Redevelopment Corrmission, we do not believe
euch a commission is needed. The Valley �quare Conm►ission
of which we were both officers wAS created to tnonitor
the proqress of an existina redevelopment plan and to
aiake reconar!endations for an area already designated as
the civic/conanercial focal point of the coannunity. its
a►embership tepresented the cammunity at larqe. The
number of owners, Lhe ettitude ana the circ�stances
that affect redevelopment in Golden Hills is entirely
different. Moreover, we now have a Planning Coaanissfon
with much qreater eamertise in rec]evelopment tha�n was the
case in 1980. The HRA does not have the time needed to
permit the creation and education of a brand new commission
. to the point Where sound zecomQ►endations can be made.
we do not favor the second option, that of asking far
proposals Without further refinement of the redevelopment
P1an. We believe further refiaement should be made to
assist the HRA is determining which of the options are
best for the City. The Planning Comtnission has suggested
multfple housing, for example. We believe this sugqestion
should be considered.
We believe an outside consultant should be hired to offez
• recommendations as to the hiahest and best nse of the land
in this redevelopment district. Such a consultant can
brinq a fresh point of view to the possibilities, including
how what is developed can best complement and relate to the
area of St. Louis Park across the freeway. Review by the
Planninc� Comm3ssion Will provide examination based oA the
comprehensive plan and by a citywide commission as weil.
4• T1'ie CitY Council should amend the zedevelopment plan if necessary
followino a public hearing.
5. The HRA may want to hold informational meetiaqs with the nearby residents
and the property owners, followinq amendment of the redevelopment plan.
6. The HRA should solicit proposals from specific developers.
Rmtionalea The HRA hired Sam Poppleton to conduct a survey to
determine why some developers did not respond to our
Valley Square pzospectus. The results of that survey,
dated July 6, 1983, araue that we should identify those
developers who produce the type, quality and price of
developznent we have ia mind and qo after them. A rifle
approach rather than shotgun, and being as apecific as We
can in terms of ahat we Want.
