Jones L OCATION: 528 Indiana Avenue North REQUEST: Approval of Preliminary Design Plan f or P .U.D. 4�37 including 6 townhouse units • Planning Commission Mitrutes of September 13, 1982 Page 3 • Chairman Thompson introduced this agenda item and noted the staff report. C hairman Thompson also gave a brief ezplanation of Planning Commission proce- d ures. The proponent, Mr. Brad Jones, was present accomp anied by Mr. Dave Kirsch, Landscape Architect, and Mr. Lloyd Jafvert, Architect. Chairman Thompson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions of staff. Commissioner Prazak asked that the City Engineer's recommendation for drainage a nd erosion control be explained. In response to Commissioner Prazak's question, Assistant Planner Alda Peikert reviewed the City Engineer's recommendation using the drainage plan. Ms. Peikert noted the portion of the plan that the City E ngineer is moat concerned about to be the area from the back of the units out a round the garages into the drive area. The drainage is to f low to the east and t hen to the south along the parking and drive area. The concern of the City E ngineer is that most of this area is flat which might result in standing water behind and in the garages. There is also concern with the drainage around the s outheast corner. Commissioner Leppik asked what there is to prevent the water from flooding into the neighboring property along the south side. Ms. Peikert etated it would be the depth of the swale that would carry the flow of water to the street. , C o�issioner Prazak asked the difference in elevation between the ground level o n the south edge of the property and the adjoining property further south. Ms. Peikert stated they appear to be the same after the proposed cut has been made. • M s. Peikert stated that the City Engineer recommends addition of one more con- dition if the proposal is recommended for approval. That would be submission of a grading and drainage plan prepared by a registered engineer with the General P lan of Development, as well as certification by an Engineer or Surveyor that the grading plan is followed to the letter. Commissioner Tubman asked if provision could be made to have the developer come b ack after the project is complete, if there seems to he a problem with drainage, to regrade the area. Ms. Peikert stated that a grading bond could be r equired and retained for one year after completion of the project. M r. David Kirsch, Landscape Architect, gave a review of the landscape plan. Commissioner Leppik questioned the proponent as to the number of levels in the p roposed townhouses and also asked haw tall the units are at the highest point. M r. Lloyd Jafvert, Architect for the proponent, stated that the end units are one and one-half story units and the middle units are two and one-half story u nits. The top window is called a clerestory window �ch like a skylight but v ertical. The elevation of the west side would be typical of a three story house. • ' Planning Commission Miuutes of September 13, 1982 Page 4 • Commissioner Prazak asked if the finished grade at the north end of the site w ould be similar to the current level of the service road. Mr. Kirsch stated that that area would be made higher by one and a half feet with some berming and p lanting of trees. Commissioner Leppik asked who would maintain the area in the front of the t ownhouses. Mr. Kirsch stated that a liomeowners Association would be developed t o ma.intain all of the common areas. Commissioner Leppik asked if the developer p lans to maintain an interest beyond the date of sale of the final unit. Mr. Kirsch stated tha.t it is the responsibility of the developer to set up the h omeowners association and maintenance agreements and to see that they are e nacted. Af ter the sale of the final unit, the developer would no longer be i nvolved. Chairman Thompson opend the informal public hearing for public input. M r. Richard Parker - 516 Indiana Avenue. Concerned with flooding and probabil- i ty of landslide. Questioned whether an escrow account would be set up for the s urrounding residents. M r. Einard Kari - 529 Indiana Avenue. Opposes drainage plan. M r. Albin Plattner - 509 Indiana Avenue. Concerned with water coming into his driveway. • M r. Glenn Wilson - 4200 Woodstock Avenue. Co ncerned with the drainage flow p lan. Also read a statement in rebuttal of the proposal for townhouses within a s ingle family neighborhood. M s. Brenda Sholl - 517 Indiana Avenue. St ated one of her neighbors has a pump r unning constantly. Also concerned with additional traffic and parking problems, a nd felt the lot would be overbuilt with 6 townhouses. M s. Marlene Girtken - 516 Indiana Avenue. Feels the lot is too small for 6 townhouses. Mr. Kip Benson - 520 Indiana Avenue. In favor of proposal. Feels it would be a n improvement to the area. Mr. David Krumholz - 529 Meadow La.ne. Concerned with snow re�val, noise control and traffic pollution. Mr. James Tuma - 524 Indiana Avenue. Asked where the proposal goes from this meeting and if the citizens have another chance to make their co�ents heard. Concerned with the height of the end townhouse on the south side. M r. Gordon Sholl - 517 Indiana Avenue. Opposes departure from single family dwellings. • Planning Commission Minutes of September 13, 1982 Page 5 . Mr. Richard Parker - 516 Indiana Avenue. Concerned with height of units. Mrs. Kathy Benson - 520 Indiana Avenue. Feels proposal would be an improvement. Mr. Glenn Wilson - 4200 Woodstock Avenue. Concerned with snow re�oval and ice c ompaction in area. Mr. James Tuma - 524 Indiana Avenue. Concerned with surf ace draina.ge and possi- bility of water in his basement. M r. Lloyd Jafvert responded to the coacerns of the residents in the area, i ncluding traffic noise, snow removal and quality control. Stated the price r ange of these townhouses would be $85,000 to $90,000. C hairman Thompson closed the informal public hearittg. It was moved by Commissioner Prazak, seconded by Commissioner Leppik and carried u nanimously to recommend that the City Council deny approval of the Preliminary Design Plan for P.U.D. ,1�37, Brandon Terrace Townhouses, due to high project den- s ity and building height out of proportion with the surrounding single family r esidential neighborhood. V I. Report on City Council Meeting - September 7, 1982: Chairman Thompson gave a brief review of the September 7, 1982 Council meeting • i ncluding action on PUD ��36 - 23rd and Winnetka and on the Preliminary Design P lan for an Amendment to PUD �'1B, Colonial Acres. V II. Rescheduling of October 11, 1982 Columbus Day Meeting Date: C hairman Thompson deferred action on this item until the next meeting of the P lanning Commission. Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, David Thompson, Chairman Margaret Leppik, Secretary � � T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: SEPT. 22, 1982 FROM: P41KE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR SUBJECT: SET DATE FOR INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 600 DECATUR AVENUE NORTH Almich Tire, Inc. , St. Paul , is requesting an informal public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit that would allow a tire service and auto repair facility within a Comnercial Zoning District (600 Decatur Avenue North - the site of the former All-State Insurance Company) . It is Staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission set Tuesday, October 25, 1982 as the date for this hearing. MHM:kjm • • • T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSIO�d DATE: SEPT. 22, 1982 FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING � REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR SUBJECT: SET DATE FOR INFORMAL PUBLIC HFr4RING - P.U.D. #37-A, BRANDON � TERRACE TOWNHOUSES Brad J. Jones, proponent for P.U.D. #37-A has submitted a revised Preliminary Design Plan for the subject P.U.D. which would include four townhomes with a revised architectural design. �4r. Jones has requested that the Planning Commission set a date for an informal public hearing on this matter. Staff would suggest that the Planning Commission set Monday, October 25, 1982 as the date for an informal public hearing on this matter. � MHM:kjm • • T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: SEPT. 22, 1982 FROM: ALDA PEIKERT, ASSISTANT PLANNER SUBJECT: INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING OF NORTHEAST CORNER OF WINNETKA AND 23RD AVENUES NORTH FROM THE OPEN DEVELOPMENT TO THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICES ZONING DISTRICT The proponent, Mr. Dale A. Clausnitzer, requests rezoning of a vacant parcel of land on the northeast corner of Winnetka and 23rd Avenues PJorth from the Open Development to the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District to allow construction of a three story medical offices building to be known as Mi:dland Medical Center. The proponent stipulates that the proposed building will house offices of physicians and will not include clinic or medical laboratory facilities which would require Institutional (I-3) Zoning under the City of Golden Valley Zoning Ordinance. Surrounding zoning and land uses include Sifco Custom Machining zoned Light Industrial adjacent on the north, City property zoned Institutional both across Rhode Island to the east and across 23rd Avenue to the southeast, and Residential to the south across 23rd Avenue and to the west across Winnetka Avneue. The southeast corner of Winnetka and 23rd Avenues North is the location of four existing duplexes currently in process as PUD #36. Another double unit structure • is under construction on the southwest corner of Winnetka and 23rd Avenues North. The subject parcel of land is 2.06 acres in size and has street frontage on three sides, with Winnetka Avenue North on the west, 23rd svenue North on the south and Rhode Island svenue North on the east. T:he proposed site plan indicates setbacks in conformance with Zoning Ordinance requirements, allowing 35 feet of landscaped yard area on all street frontages and a 20 foot building setback from the north property line adjacent to a Light Industrial Zoning District. The parking setback on the north is ten feet, half of the required building setback as stipulated by Ordinance. The parking requirement for office use is one space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The building gross floor area is 26,400 square feet, consisting of 8,800 square feet on each of three floors, andthe parking requirement is 106 spaces. The site plan indicates provision of 132 parking spaces which is more than required by Ordinance. The City of Golden Valley Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows long term use of this property as Low Density Residential in anticipation of duplex or townhouse develop- ment similar to that on the southeast corner of Winnetka and 23rd Avenues North. Although Business and Professional Offices is not always an appropriate transitional use between Residential and Light Industrial or Industrial land uses , staff feels thaf the proposed Business and Professional Offices development is compatible with the adjacent Light Industrial use to t�he north and is acceptable across the street from Residential uses south of 23rd Avenue and west of Winnetka Avenue North. Proposed location of access drives off of 23rd Avenue North rather than Winnetka Avenue North minimizes traffic congestion on Winnetka resulting from development of the subject � property. • Re: Informal Public Hearing - Reioning of Northeast corner of Winnetka � 23rd Avenues September 22, 1982 Page 2 Based on compatibility with surrounding zoning and land uses and on conformance of the site plan with requirements of the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District Section of the City Zoning Ordinance, staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of the request received from Mr. Dale A. Clausnitzer for rezoning of the vacant parcel of land on the northeast corner of Winnetka and 23rd Avenues North from the Open Development to the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District for construction of a three story medical offices building to be known as Midland Medical Center.

The �roposed location of the Calvary Child Care Center is a single family residence located on property owned by the Church and conti.guous to Calvary Community Services Senior Citizen Housing property on the south. The zoning of the subject property, of the Senior Citizen Housing site to the south, and of the Church site to the east is Institutional Sub-District I-1 , which is the Institutional Sub-District for churches and for schools through the secondary level . Child day care facilities may be permitted as Conditional Uses within any of the Institutional Sub-Districts. The single family dwelling proposed as the location of Calvary Child Care Center is the southerly of three houses remaining on the east side of vacated former Rhode Island Avenue, all three of which belong to Calvary Lutheran Church. The first phase of the Valley Square Redevelopment Project included relocation of Rhode Island Avenue to the west and creation of a senior citizen housing site between • Calvary Lutheran Church and relocated Rhode Island Avenue. The City of Golden Valley acquired properties on the west side of vacated former Rhode Island �venue for street right-of-way and transferred remainder portions of the tots and vacated former Rhode Island Avenue to the City NRA. The HRA also obtained all lots on the east side of vacated former Rhode Island, except for the house at 810 Rhode Island, proposed location of the Calvary Child Care Center, which was deeded directly from the owner to Calvary Lutheran Church. The HRA removed the homes on the senior citizen housing site and transferred the property to Calvary Community Services. Properties to the north of the senior citizen housing site, including the two homes owned by the HRA, were transferred to the ,Church with ihe understanding that all three remaining houses would be removed by the Church and the property subsequently used for purposes connected with the Church or with the senior citizen housing. The property was replatted following relocation of Rhode Island Avenue and transfer of the former single family residential properties to Calvary Community Services and to Calvary Lutheran Church. The new plat, Valley Square Addition, combined the three remaining houses, adjacent vacated former Rhode Island Avenue and remnant parcels to the west of vacated former Rhode Island Avenue into one lot, Lot 2 Block 2 Valley Square Addition. The plat was approved on the assumption that the houses would be removed. However, the only legal restriction placed on use of the properties at t-he time of transfer to the Church was a deed restriction specifying use for Church purposes or for purposes consistent with the senior citizen housing project on property adjacent to the south. This deed restriction applies to the two northerly houses transferred from the HRA, not the house at 810 Rhode Island, proposed location of the day care center, deeded from the homeowner to the Church. There is no written legal restriction requiring removal of the houses or limiting • the period of time they may be used. Therefore, a nonconformity exasts in the location of three principal buildings on one lot. Technically, one of the three houses should be the principal building and the other two should be accessory to the principal building. RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center � September 22, 1982 Page 2 Calvary Lutheran Church originally submitted an application that showed the former lot and house at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North only, with frontage on former vacated Rhode Island Avenue and no frontage on or easement providing access to a public street. Staff directed Calvary Lutheran Church to clarify the status of the lot on which the house at 810 Rhode Island is located. Staff at the same time investigated the status of the subject property with Hennepin County. Hennepin County confirmed that the plat of Valley Square Addition has been recorded and the three houses are located on one lot with frontage on retocated Rhode Island Avenue North. However, the County has not taken the final step of combining former lots and remnants into the new lots for tax purposes due to delinquent taxes on former parcels comprising the plat of Valley Square Addition. Within subject Lot 2 Block 2 containing the three houses, there are delinquent taxes back to 1980 on 810 and 822 Rhode Island and on the remnant parcels west of vacated former Rhode Island. The house at 830 Rhode I�stand, location of the Renaissance Outpatient Adolescent Chemical Dependency Treatment Center until recent approval of a new location at 1710 Douglas Avenue North, is tax exempt but will be returned to the tax rolls at the beginning of 198� due to the change in use this year. Taxes due the first half of tifie current year were paid on the existing low and moderate income senior citizen rental housing site, but delinquent taxes back to 1980 have not been paid. Taxes on the site of the planned senior citizen cooperative building are delinquent back to 1980, but reportedly will be paid at the time of closing on the contract for deed with the . HRr4, which closing is scheduled to take place this fall . The total plat of Valley Square Addition cannot be finalized until delinquent taxes on all previous parcels within the plat are paid. Attached site location maps show the subject property as one lot within the plat of Valley Square Addition and as a combination of previous lots , remnants and vacated former Rhode Island Avenue. The application from Calvary Lutheran Church for Calvary Child Care Center appro- priately addresses the entire parcel on which the house at 810 Rhode Island Avenue is located, including use of all three houses and the entire lot area. The application includes two memorandums at the end of the application package which explain planned use of the other two houses and of the proposed parking area. Proposed use of the houses at 822 and 830 Rhode Island Avenue North is for housing of seminary students serving both as Church staff and as part of the security program for the adjacent senior citizen housing complex. Technically, the two seminarian residences are not accessory to the principal building, the proposed Child Care Center. The Assistant City Attorney advises staff that it would be difficult to make a case against the proposed seminarian housing use based on the accessory building status. The Attorney does advise specific designation of the Child Care Center location at 810 Rhode Island as the principal building and designation of the other two houses as accessory buil_dings as part of any Conditional Use Permit granted. The proposal for Calvary Child Care Center located at 810 Rhode Island is described on pages 9-10 of the Supplementary Information following the Application form in the application packet. Calvary Lutheran Church proposes to provide day care for up � to a maximum of 20 children at any one time. The City previously received notice of application to the State Department of Public Welfare for a license to serve up to 20 children. . RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center September 22, 1982 Page 3 The Program Description on pages 9-10 is foltowed by reports from the City Sanitarian, Fire Marshal and Building lnspector based on inspections of the residence at 810 Rhode Island for child day care facility use. The Sanitarian reports that required kitchen improvements are minimal from the perspective of use of bag lunches. The report assumes that there may be minor handling of snacks but no meal preparation in the Day Care Center kitchen. Fire Safety and Buitding Inspection requirements assume no basement use by children. An office area for an adult staff inember only is allowable in the basement. The application cover letter at the beginning of the application packet stipulates that Calvary Lutheran Church will make all improvements required in the Sanitarian, Fire Marshal and Building Inspector reports. The cover letter states that the Church does not intend to comply with a Uniform Building Code requirement for separate bathroom facilities for men and women. The letter states that in the opinion of the Church counsel , the Uniform Building Code does not require separate bathroom facilities for each sex in a day care facility. The City Director of Zoning and Inspections, in a memorandum attached for reference, reports that he verified the requirement with the Minnesota State Building Code Division and will require separate bathroom facilities unless provided with a written opinion to the contrary from the State Building Code Division. Although informed that any expenditure for building improvements prior to approval of the Conditional . Use Permit would be at the Church's own risk, Calvary Lutheran Church chose to take out a plumbing permit for plumbing alterations to the house at 810 Rhode Island in preparation for the proposed day care use. It is the understanding of the City Zoning and Inspections Department from the plumber that the Church has already installed additional toilet and sink faciiities in one bathroom as shown on the floor plan submitted with the application. In a meeting with staff, Church representatives expressed a desire to prepare for openi.ng of the Day Care Center immediately after approval of the Conditional Use Permit on the assumption that the use will be approved as proposed. The City Engineer reviewed the site plan submitted with the application, which indicates a 2� foot wide paved entrance drive, striping of paved former Rhode Island Avenue for parking, and addition of gravel drive, parking and turnaround area. The memorandum regarding parking lot development, included at the end of the application packet, explains that the Church wishes to develop this property in such a manner as to maintain flexibility and to allow for future change in use. Therefore, the Church proposes addition of gravel rather than bituminous surfaced drive, parking and turnaround area. The City Engineer stipulates bituminous paving of all drive and parking area as required throughout the City, but states that curb and gutter are not essential to surface water drainage control . All unpaved areas should be seeded as noted on the site plan to prevent erosion. Calvary Lutheran Church hoped to open the proposed Calvary Day Care Center with the beginning of the school year and now hopes to open the day after City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit. The City Council has already set a Council . public hearing date of October 5, 1982, departing from usual procedure by setting the Council hearing date prior to Planning Commission consideration of the application. RE: Informal Public Hearing-Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center Q September 22, 1982 Page 3 In anticipation of a request from Calvary LUtheran Church for permission to open the day care facility prior to completion of required improvements, tfie City Engineer dffers a November 15, 1982 deadline for completion of bituminous paving. A recom- mendation for approval of the Conditional Use Permit conditional upon paving by a specific date is an option available to the Planning Commission and City Council . In view of the practical difficulties of enforcing such a deadline once a facility begins operation, Planning staff recommends against allowing the facility to open prior to completion of all improvements required as part of any Conditional Use Permit approval . Section 20.03.G. of the City Zoning Code 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 con° sideration. Examination of the proposed Calvary Child Care Center in view of each of the ten items follows: l . Demonstrated need for the proposed use. The first seven pages of the Supplementary Information included after the Application Form in the application packet document need for additional child day care facilities in the area served by Calvary Lutheran Church. Staff � concurs with this statement of need and, in fact, is disappointed in the choice of a location with limited capacity offering no space for expansion. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the Valley Square Redevelop- ment Area, which includes the subject property, as a "Study Area". The proposed amended Valley Square Redevelopment Plan, presented to the Planning Commission at the August 23, 1982 meeting and scheduled for a City Council hearing on September 30, 1982, states that the subject property, all of Lot 2 Block 2 containing the three single family residences, "will be used for ancillary church purposes relating to the church and Senior Citizen High-Rise Co-op and as a buffer between the High-Rise and the residential property to the north". On the first page of the Supplementary Information included in the application packet, Calvary Lutheran Church describes the proposed Calvary Child Care Center as an extension of the pre-kindergarten program currently operating in the Church building. The proposed child day care facility, along with the seminarian housing proposed for the other two residences , may be termed church related as part of the community service program of Calvary Lutheran Church. 3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area. The proposed use would not affect surrounding property values. e RE: Inforrr�l Public Hearing-Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center September 22, 1982 • Page 4 4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the area. The City Engineer reviewed the proposal for a child day care facility at this location from the standpoint of traffic impact on Rhode Island Avenue. According to the City Engineer, location of the access drive near the point where Rhode Island curves into lOth Avenue North is not a problem due to location of the access drive on the outside of the curve which affords adequate vision. The City Engineer foresees no adverse i�pacts of traffic generated by the proposed use. 5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land uses. There would be no increase in population or density, Previous uses of the three subject houses have included the Renaissance Treatment Center, refugee housing and seminarian housing. Proposed uses involve similar number of residents. 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. Uisual appearance of any proposed structure or use. The only alterations in appearance of the subject property will result from paving of the drive and parking area and seeding of unpaved areas. This will be an improvement over the current eroded and unfinished appearance of the entrance drive and area fronting on Rhode Island Avenue North. 10. Any other effect upon the general public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. -Staff foresees no other effects on the general public health, safety and welfare. • RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center • September 22, 1982 Page 5 Examination of the proposal with respect to the ten factors listed in the City Zoning Ordinance for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit indicates a favorable recommendation. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of the Conditionel Use Permit requested by Calvary Lutheran Church for operation of a child day care facility at 810 Rhode Island Avenue Pdorth in an Institutional (I-1 ) Zoning District, conditional upon the following: 1 . Use of the prinicpal building located at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North for a child day care center to accommodate not more than 20 children on the premises at any one time. 2. Use of the accessory buildings at 822 and 830 Rhode Island Avenue North for seminarian housing. 3. Payment of delinquent taxes on all previous parcels within the plat of Valley Square Addition allowing combination of previous lots into tax parcels in conformance with the recorded plat of Valley Square Addition. 4. Compl�tion of all improvements and modifications to the proposed child day care building at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North required by the City Sanitarian in the July 23, 1982 Sanitarian's Inspection Report. • 5• No preparation of ineals in the child day care facility at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North. 6. Completion of all improvements and modifications to the proposed child day care building at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North required by the City Fire Marshal in the June 2, 1982 Fire Marshl 's Inspection Report. 7. No basement use by children. 8. Completion of all improvements and modifications to the site and to the child day care buitding at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North required by the City Building Inspector in the July 20, 1982 Building Inspection Report. 9. Provision of separate bathroom facilities for men and women in the child day care building at 810 Rhode Island Avenue North. 10. Bituminous surfacing of all drive, parking and turnaround areas shown on the August 30, 1982 site plan submitted with the application. I1 . �Seeding of all unpaved areas of Lot 2 Block 2 Valley Square Addition. 12. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions of approval shall be grounds for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. • RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Calvary Child Care Center • September 22, 1982 Page 6 Attachments: l .

Adjacent to the existing bituminous surface a gravel base parking area will be constructed as outlined on the Site Plan providing for a wide driveway with parking on either side and a turn around area at the southern end of the property. During the week parking would be restricted to the gravel area. The driveway at 810 Rhode Island Avenue will be marked off with posts so cars do not drive unto the driveway as it will be used as a walk to the center. The property will continue to be maintained by Calvary Lutheran Church as has been done since it was acquired. This will include the removal • of snow in the winter. c. The floor plan shows that there will be one bathroom with two toilets and two sinks as required by DPW Rule 3. It is our counsel's opinion that Section 805 of the Uniform Building Code does not require separate toilet rooms to be provided for each sex in day care centers. The language of the Uniform Building Code, Section 805, Group "E" has no requirement for separate bathroom facilities for Day Care Centers. d. There is 1,144 square feet on the main floor of 810 Rhode Island Avenue and another 120 square feet on the glazed porch. This is sufficient floor space to meet the Uniform Building Code requirement of 50 square feet per occupant. DPW' Rule 3, page 6, III/B states "There �shall be a minimum of 35 square feet of useable floor space (primary space) per child in attendance. • exclusive of hallways, bathrooms, lockers, kitchens and floor space occupied by stationary equipment but including equipment and furnishings regularly used by the children. Beverly Moran, State Licensing Agent of the State of Minnesota, had evaluated 810 Rhode Island Avenue and determined that the square footage • meets their requirements to license the facility for twenty children in attendance. = , • , ' � Alda Peikert August 30, 1982 '� • page four For more than 35 years Calvary Lutheran Church of Golden Val�ey has been a congregation serving the community.

We are an institution dedicated to serving the people of this community and will continue to build on out 35 year history of serving people by being responsive to needs for many years. Our investment in this community is a witness to our intent to stay and to provide programs and ministry that meed the needs of people. Our ability to serve through unique ministries and programs is a benefit to our people and the community and comes from a church membership of talented people who give generously of the time and resources to make this service possible.

Recognizing the pre-school years as being of prime importane in developing the child as � a total person, Calvary has built an outstanding Pre-Kindergarten program, and for the past 19 years has maintained its strong cammitment .to early childhood education. Over the last few years we have come to realize the need to expand our Pre-Kindergarten program to include child care in order to meet the tremendous need for that service which has developed in our community. Two primary factors creating this need are: an increase in women's participation in the labor force, and o - an increase in single-par�nt families. Calvary believes that part of its corranunity service is to meet the need of families for quality child care in an atmosphere where each child can feel loved and accepted, away from home and family, on a daily basis. Tfiis has been consistently demonstrated through the 19 year ministry of Calvary's Pre-Kindergarten. During the 1981-82 school year, 48� of the Pre-Kindergarten children wer� from Calvary and 52� were non-members. Therefore, as a natural outgrowth of the Pre-Kindergarten program, Calvary Lutheran Church (by unanimous vote of the Church Council ) is proposing to develop a Child Care Center staffed with those who have special training and gifts to work with young children. , The property at 810 Rhode Isl and offers a uni que opportuni ty to provi de a moderately priced quality child care facility to the families of our �ommunity. We can do this for the following reasons: 7. The property is being �ravided, rent free, by the Church; , 2. We will be closely associated with the existing Pre-Kindergarten � - �rogram and will be able to share equipment and supplies; and . 3. Staff development �rill be shared by both programs, iowering the cost by having more teachers involved. � • - .� - 1 - l� � B. t�IILD CARE NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY ��nancial - Minnesota statistics for 1978� show �hat �55� �of -Mi�nnesota's=�chi]dren -0-5 years of age need child care. In most cases, they are from homes where both parents work or are in training. A smaller per�entage of children live with e single parent who is at work or training for a career. For most young families with both parents in the labor force, two incomes are an economic necessity. For most single parents the alternative to fuli-time employme�t is welfare. • • Some famiiies can arrange for a relat9ve or neighbor to care for their children, but for man�y such an arrangement is impossible. These families need access to affordable, licensed child care they can trust. As economic and social conditions force more and more women into the labor force, the lack� of adequate, affordable child care has become one of the most pressing problems facing American families. � � 45� of married women with pre-school children were in the labor force in Minnesota in 1980. According to the Census Bureau, the increase in working mothers has brought a shift away from in-home child care, � � particularly among the children of well-educated mothers, full-time working mothers, and mothers with relatively high income� levels who can afford to pay for child-care services. 60� of separated, widowed, or divorced women with pre-school children are in the labor force. About 2/3 of these wame� received no child support from absent fathers. Less than 1/4 received the full amount of child support due. The minimal levels for child support has meant that large numbers of mothers have had to carry primary responsibility for financial support of their children. Child care costs alone are likely to exceed support payments. Average support payment per month in Hennepin County: 1 child $130 � ' 2 children �182 � Average cost for child care per month in Hennepin County: 1 child �170 for pre-school age ' Average cost for child care per week in Golden Yalley: � , 7 child �40-65 for ages 2 1/2 to 5 years About four out of five Minnesota single-parent mothers had incomes of less � than �8,000 in 1978. - i � Council. of Economic Status of �Jomen in Minnesota - 2 - � � The need for quality, affordable child care has :become critical. -'- --- �- --��creasing1y, parents are preferri ng l icensed care as a safeguard agai nst poor q u a l i t y of in-home care. The budget crunch being felt by the ----- ->.-�e�eral;�--state, and county g�vernments necessi tated a reducti on i n fun d i ng #or these services. _ Being able to establish licensed child care facilities is becoming more " difficult. According to Sylvia Porter in her article in the Minneapolis Tribune, August 1 1982, the startup costs fior a center are estimated at between �70,000 to �150,000 (less if existing space can be used). The . demand for this care is increasing d'aily. "Within eight years there will be 11 million more women in the work force, an estimated two out of three mothers will be employed, and 55� of them will have at least one child under 6", wrote Porter. _ Parents in thi s co�nuni ty have had confi dence i n the Cal vary Rre-Kindergarten program for 19 years. Evidence of this has been early -registration each year for a11 available slots and a waiting list. � Space Demands For the purpose of this proposal, we cons�Sein the south halfh of rSchool • the number of available ch�ld care slo District 281 (the area from 36th Avenue North to Highway 55). There are no child care r�enters located within these boundaries. There are approximately 238 slots in licensed family day care homes for children ages 0-5 in this area. There is a child care center licensed for 29 children at Golden Yalley Methodist Church, located just south of Highway 55 on Harald Avenue. In recent years approximately 450 kindergarten children have been entering District 281 from the area we propose to serve.

Other cormnents made on the forms are as follows: � o �"At times I am in need of child care for certain appointments. Since I have one in pre-school there, it would be handly to have a Drop-By Center for n�y other child.

D. GENERAL CURRICULUM FOR��IA►T Curriculum for children needs to be based on the following developmental stages: 1. Acquiring a sense of industry, production, completion of tasks; • 2. Developing a sense of competence in controlling the physical environment, having a wide variety of opportunities to develop a full range of competencies, being successful; 3. Mastering a variety of human interactions; comparing self with peers, being the interactor in social situations and not just an observer, formi ng fri endshi ps; and . 4. Developing responsibility for one's own actions, setting 7imits, , respecting rights and property of others, using comnunity resources responsibility. The environment we will develop must meet a wide range of children's • 9nterests and developmental levels. A large variety of activity/interest centers and program activities that chidren can "try on" will be offered. .• ,! , • � . - 9a - � The center will be divided basically into five areas6. The Living Room will become the iearning center. This area will house the children's library with large floor pillows for cuddling and �ust relaxing. A - - .-- -.science .acti vi ty center, puzzl e area, area for pl ayi ng wi th smal l cognitive learning toys, and a practical 9ife area will also be part of the learning center. A sma11 couch and comfortable chairs will help to make this a�ea a relaxing envirament for children to express themselves. �nall group activities will also take place here. The West Room will house the large muscle activity and dramatic play. Here will be various sizes, shapes, and weights of blocks, trucks, cars, and other building and construction materials. The playhouse and other dramatic play activities will also �e in this area. � The East Raom is a small muscle playroom and music center. The piano, phonograph, and musical instruments will be used primarily in this room. Film strips �nd movies wil] be shown here. Materials that encourage academic and �manipulative skills, reading readiness, and math concepts are included. The kitchen/eating area will house the creative arts center and also includes plenty of storage space for suppies. Children will eat their bag lur�hes here. Meals will not be cooked. � � The three-season porch will be utilized whenever the weather allows. We have a sand/water table and large muscle equipment to utilize in this area. The outdoor pla�y area will be primarily the back yard. We will have equipment necessary to meet Minnesota Department of Public Welfare Rule 3 standards.

Thatcher Calvary Lutheran Church, Business Manager RE: Use of Existing Houses at 822 Rhode Island Avenue North and 830 Rhode Island Avenue North The Executive Committee of Calvary Lutheran Church of Golden Valley has accepted the request from Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminary � in St. Paul to be a part of their Contextual Education Program for first-year seminarians. This program requires participation in a local congregation by the first-year seminarian under the direction of the Contextual Education - Department at Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminary and a Pastor on the staff of Calvary Lutheran Church of Golden Valley. The seminarians would be required to live on our campus at Calvary Lutheran Church and would participate in our ministry with direction by our staff and evaluation of the students work by the seminary and our staff. The existing house at 822 Rhode Island Avenue North would be � occupied by a first-year seminarian and his family and the existing house at 830 Rhode Island Avenue North would be occupied by three or four single seminarians� including our youth director who will be on our staff fulltime this year and enrolled in seminary next year. • In addition to participating directly in the program at Calvary Lutheran Church, the seminarians would be part of the 24-hour security program � at Calvary Center Apartments and as such would be required to respond � to the emergency call system which would be extended from the building to the homes. This program has been approved by Ebenezer Society, managers of Calvary Center Apartments, and is a program which they use on other buildings that they own or manage. • • . � August 27, 1982 ' MEMORANDUM T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: David A. Thatcher Calvary Lutheran Church, -Business Manager RE: Development of Parking on Lot 2, Valley Square Addition Calvary Lutheran Church of Golden Valley acquired this property from the City of Golden Valley at the time it directed that our property South of Golden Valley Road be developed for an office building and that the properties which it had acquired on either side of the "old" Rhode Island Avenue be developed for senior citizen housing. • In acquiring this property, it was our intention to use the existing structures for auxiliary programs that might otherwise use our existing facilities. These would include, but not be limited to, AA programs, counseling, chemical treatment programs, pre-kindergarten or day care programs, housing for interim use5, auxiliary housing for persons serving Calvary Center Apartments, housing for Pastors and the like. The Executive Committee of Calvary Lutheran Church has determined that the development of this property should be done with the need to remain flexible to allow for a change in future -use. It has been determined that the development of addizional parking . to serve Calvary Lutheran Church and the proposed Day Care Center could best be accomodated by striping the "old" Rhode Island Avenue and to develop the portion between the "o1d" and "new" Rhode Island Avenue with a gravel-base parking surface to accomodate two lanes of parking on the gravel-base parking surface and one lane of � parking on the bituminous surface. The attached plan details the layout and flow of traffic. � , This development would provide additional parking and would also enable us to proceed at this time with a landscaping of this area. • � • • T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: SEPTEMBER 22, 1982 FROM: ALDA PEIKERT, ASSISTANT PLANNER SUBJECT: INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERt�IT FOR DANCE STUDIO The proponent, Ms. Mary Constantine, requests a Conditional Use Permit for a dance studio in an office warehouse building located at 8840 7th Avenue North in a Light Industrial Zoning District. The Conditional Use Permit application follows a Zoning Ordinance amendment which provides for dance studios as a Conditional Use in the Light Industrial Zoning District. The amendment was initiated in response to Ms. Constantine's request for permission to move her dance studio into space in the office warehouse building on 7th Avenue North between Boone and Decatur Avenues. Ms. Constantine signed a lease for the office warehouse space at 8840 7th Avenue North in June 1g82. The Zoning Ordinance amendment was recommended by the Planning Commission on June 23, 1982, was approved by the City Council on August 17, 1982, and became effective with publication on August 26, 1982. Ms. Constantine describes the proposed dance studio use of the office warehouse space at 8840 7th Avenue North in an initial letter of request directed to the City Planning and Redevelopment Coordinator in early June 1982 and in another • letter accompanying her August 30, 1982 Conditional Use Permit application. The application letter and pertinent portions of the initial request letter are attached. The dance studio will occupy one bay of the building on the main floor and will share rest rooms with the adjacent print shop. The mezzanine space over both the main floor dance studio and the print shop will be occupied by the dance studio. Floar plans for the dance studio spaces are attached for reference in following the proponent's narrative descriptions of space use. Ms. Constantine indicates that the dance studio space is allocated seven parking spaces in the front building parking lot and has room for three staff parking spaces to the rear of the building. The Zoning Ordinance parking space requirement for schools is one space per four students. Staff suggests limitation of the number of students to 2a until after 5:00 p.m. when additional parking lot space becomes available. The Planning Commission is directed by Ordinance to make findings and recommendations to the City Council on ten factors when reviewing a Conditional Use Permit request. The ten factors, which are listed in Section 20.03•G. of the City Zoning Ordinance, need not be given equal weight in the consideration. Examination of the proposed dance studio location with respect to each of the ten factors follows : • RE: Informat Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Dance Studio Page 2 • September 22, 1g82 1 . Demonstrated need for the proposed use. In her initial letter of request dated June $, 1982, Ms. Constantine describes her proposed classical ballet program as unique in the entire Midwest United States area. Staff has noted that dance schools located in surrounding suburbs advertise in the GOLDEN VALLEY POST. However, staff is unaware of another dance school in the City of Golden Valley and understands that the dance studio proposed by Ms. Constantine will offer instruction not available elsewhere in the area. Staff concurs with Ms. Constantine's documentation of a need for her proposed dance studio in the area and with her description of her proposed studio as an asset to the community. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. The Light Industrial Zoning of the subject location conforms to Light Industrial long term land use designation on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In recom- mending and approving inclusion of dance studios as a Conditional Use in the Light Industrial District, the Planning Commission and City Council recognized dance studios as an appropriate Light Industrial land use in selected locations within areas termed Light Industrial . Therefore, the proposal is consistent with the City of Golden Valley Comprehensive Land Use Plan. r3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area. The proposed dance studio use would not affect property values in the neighboring area. 4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the area. As Ms. Constantine describes her schedule, traffic during week day working hours would be minimal and no more than generated by Light Industrial uses occupying similar spaces within the office warehouse building proposed as the dance studio location. Larger classes, additional parking demand and increased traffic would be confined to evening hours when there would be little or no traffic generated by other businesses in the building. Therefore, the traffic generated by the proposed dance studio use should have no effect on current traffic flow in the area. 5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land uses. -The proposed dance studio use will result in no increases in population or density. • RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Dance Studio Page 3 • September 22, 1g82 6. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use. • The proposed dance studio use would not increase noise levels. Ms. Constantine notes that the separation walls in the proposed space are heavily sound insulated so that music noise from the dance studio should be no problem for the adjacent print shop and noise from the print shop should not interfere with the dance studio. 7. Any odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration to be caused by the proposed use. The proposed dance studio use would not result in 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 dance studio 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 visual appearance of the building from the outside will not be altered for • the proposed dance studio use. 10. Any other effect upon the general public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents. The proposed dance studio use will not have any other effects on the general public health, safety and welfare. Review of the proposed dance studio in view of the ten factors for examination of a Conditional Use Permit request indicates a favorable recommendation. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit requested by Ms. Mary Constantine for location of a dance studio at 8840 7th Avenue North in a Light Industrial Zoning District conditional on the fotlowing: 1 . Student use of the front entrance only, with no student use of the back door to the loading dock area except as an emergency exit. 2. Use of parking spaces in the back of the building for staff parking only. 3. Scheduling of a maximum of 28 students in the dance studio at one time until after 5:00 p.m. 4. No scheduling of classes, lessons or functions after 10:00 p.m. • 5. Scheduling of recitals, performances and special functions for evenings or weekends. RE: Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit for Dance Studio Page 4 • September 22, 1g82 6. Conformance with City Building Code and Fire Safety regulations. 7. Signage shall conform to the City Sign Regulations and meet the approval of the City Building Inspector. 8. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions of approval shall be grounds for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. AP:kjm Attachments: l . Site Location Map 2.

As you requested in our recent discussion, I ��ould like to present a brief description of the Dance Studio Nhich I would like to open at 8840 Seventh Avenue North in Golden Yalley� Minnesota. Thie space is at the West end of the office-retail-warehouse building� located behind Perkin's and Chester's restaurants, on the corner of Decatur and Seventh Avenue North. The space vras formerly occupied by Weigen Graphic Center, end I �rould be subleasing the space from them through 30 April 1983• After that date, I would be leasing the space from The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The building has a private service road and a parking lot for approximately 100 cars directly in front. The site seems ideal for a dance etudio. It features an air-conditioned epace we wovld use for offices� Nomen's and men's dressing rooms and bath- rooms� and a large reception area for students. Behind this space is a large open area� approximately 30 feet �vide by 60 feet long� with 16 foot high ceilings. This would be the dance-exercise area where we intend to install a wooden floor� mirrors�and exercise barres around the walls. A large picture-type window would be installed in place of the ten foot wide drive in door� eo that the dance area Mrould have natural light and ventilation. During classes we use a piano or phonograph to accompany the dancers. However, the walls in this space are heavily sound- � insulated and noise should not be any problem for us or for our neighbor. a print shop. Occasionally� we have a few morni.ng classes� but most of our classes meet in the afternoon and evening. Each class laets from l� to 1� hours. Morning and afternoon classes average four to sixteen studenta per class. This should not put any strain on the parking lot serving the building. In the evening� from 6: 00 to 10:00 p.m. � our classes average ten to twenty-five students per class. These larger evening classes meet after normal business hours when the entire parking lot is empty. We don't anticipate that our students will burden the parking lot in any way. At the present time, our studio ie located in dor�mtown �iinneapolis at 1030 Nicollet �6a11� second floor. We have been at that location for one year and nine months. We epecialize in Russian technique Classical Ballet. We also offer classes in Jaz2 technique. D�usical Comedy �ance, Spanish Flemenco� Scottish Highland� and dance -eerobic exercise. Occasionally, we offer Ballroom �nce classes. Our Classical Ballet program is the most outstandin� in thie area of the United States. The Artistic Director and principal teacher of our ballet program is Madame Lirena Doubrovska.ia Branitski. a former ballerina rvith the world- renowned Bolshoi Ballet from the Soviet Union. We expect eerious dance students from all over the Hidwest will come to our Btudio to study with her. In time. we will assemble a per�orming ballet company to present classical and modern ballets in the Twin Cities area. This swould certainly be e cultural attraction for the city of Golden Yalley. I know of no studio or location in Golden Valley where students can receive high-qaality dance training. Presently� they must travel out of the community for training. I believe our etudio �rould be an asset • to the comanunity, and that the residents of Golden Yalley and the surrounding suburbs r�ould appreciate the convenience of our proposed location. near highways 55 and 18. I shou�d like to point out the�t� at present, 98� of our students are adults. No doubt, relocating in a auburban area could increase the n�ber of young people studying dance with us. However� eacept in extraordinary cases of exceptional talent, �re do not enroll children younger than nine years old� and have no plans to change our policy on this matter. We expect that most of our new students will be young working people� adult women, and Junior and Senior Highschool students from the area. The Decatur location seems ideal. The exterior is lovely� planted with trees and flowers at the entrance. It is ver accessible to the public� appears to be safer and quieter traffic-wise �� ishverllcomfortableons� and has ample parking for etudents. The interior Y and spacious enough to allow dancers freedom to move easily and train comfortably. • Sincerely, � • . C.
