Report an City Council Meeting - March 3, 1981 UIII . Distribution of Revised P.U.D. Ordinance. � Minutes a� the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 23, 1981 A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held in the Council Chambers of the Civic Center, 7800 Golden" Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Chairperson Eastes called the meeting to order at 7�30 p.m. Those present were Commissioners : Eastes , Forster, Hughes , Thompson, Polachek, Sehlin and Moede. Commissioner Specktor was absent. Also present were Michael Miller, Director of Planning and Redevelopment and Martin Farrell , Assistant City Planner. I . Approval of Minutes - February 9, 1981 • It was moved by Forster, seconded by Thompson and carried unanimously to approve the minutes, as amended, of the February 9, 1981 Planning Commission Meeting. II . Set Date for Informal Public Hearing for Concept Approval - P.U.D. 30A � APPLICANT: Henry Hyatt y LOCATION: Hillsboro Avenue and Mendelssohn Avenue North . REQUEST: Concept Approval for a 29 unit Townhouse Development (Section 8 Housing) Mike Miller distributed a copy of the letter written by Mayor Thorsen, to the Planni.ng Commission regarding the City Council 's consideration of concept approval for P.U.D. 30. When the Golden Valley City Council reviewed this ' proponent 's original request for Concept Approval , the Council expressed the following concerns : (1) Density - the Council would like to use staff's recommendation of seven (7) units per acre as a beginning guideline, but would be open to variations. (2) Mix - subsidized versus market rate explored, using the housing policy as a guide for 50 to 60 percent subsidized. Henry Hyatt, 1324 Mount Curve Avenue, Minneapolis, represented the proponent. Mr. Hyatt began by requesting the Planning Commission visit similar develop- ments that his firm, Housing Technical Assistance Corporation, has developed throughout the Metropolitan area. Chairperson Eastes again addressed the letter from Mayor Thorsen and asked � Mr. Hyatt if it would be possible to meet the recommended 50 to 60 percent of subsidized units that is suggested in the City of Golden Vatley's Housing Policy. Pa ge 2 � Minutes of the Golden Valley Ptanning Commission February 23, 1981 Commissioner Moede then stated that she felt that the Planning Commission has a definite obligation to the City's adopted Housing Policy. Mr. Hyatt stated that this figure is not realistic unless the City of Golden Valley is willing to allocate a great deal of Community Development Block Grant money toward his project. Commissioner Thompson then requested that Mr. Hyatt document in writing why a partially subsidized project of 50 to 60 percent would not be feasible. Mr. Hyatt stated that he would provide this information to Mr. Miller as soon as possible. Commissioner Thompson then questioned why Mr. Hyatt had not met the density suggested by the City Council at seven (7) units per acre. _ Mr. Hyatt then stated that his revised site plan would provide nine (9) units per acre. It was then moved by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Moede, and carried unanimously to deny an informal public hearing �on the grounds that the proposal is two (2) units per acre over the guidelines of seven (7) • units per acre as established by the City Council and is in direct opposition to the Housing Policy guidelines of 51 to 60 percent subsidized units. III . Set Date for Informal Public Hearing - Rezoning APPLICANT: Vanman Construction Company LOCATION: 9201 Plymouth Avenue REQUEST: Change Zoning from Multiple Dwelling to Industrial Mike Miller stated that the site was originally zoned Industrial and rezoned to Multiple Dwelling at a time when the site was being considered as a scattered site housing development. He then suggested that the Planning Commission set March 23, 1981 as the date for the informal public hearing. Jack Hotmes, 830 Baum Road, Elk River, represented the proponent, and agreed to March 23, 19�1 as being a reasonable date for the informal public hearing. It was then moved by Commissioner Sehlin, seconded by Polachek, and carried unanimously that the Planning Commission set March 23, 1981 as the date for the informal public hearing for this rezoning.

It was requested that the commission respond with their recommendations by the end of January. Has this subject matter been discussed by the commis- sion? The status of your recommendations can be submitted to Terri in the City Manager's Office and she will see that they are forwarded to us. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to give us a call . Thank you. . � , � T0: City Advisory Commissions FROM: Councilmembers Gloria Johnson and Ray Stockman DATE: December 22, 1g80 RE: Community Communications � The entire City Council has become concerned about the communication process between the City and its citizens and has appointed a subcommittee consisting ,� of Councilmembers Johnson and Stockman to prepare recommendations on ways of improving communications. Basically, communications between the City and its residents fall into three areas. First, informing them of pending actions; second, seeking their input regarding contemplated actions by the City; and finally, informing them of actions taken by the City. In the past, we have used mailings, bulletins, the Post Newspaper, etc. to try tosatisfy these three communication needs. What we as a subcommittee would like from you would be any suggestions you might have as to the ways to best satisfy these three communication needs. We would like to get your suggestions back to us by the end of January. After we have received all the comments, we will prepare a recommendation to the City Council and you will be informed of any action taken by the Council on this matter. Thank you for your cooperation. i � March 4, 1981 — T0: Golden Valley Ptanning Commission FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator SUBJECT: Referral from City Council regarding "Zero Lot Line" Subdivision Regulations At their February 17, 1981 City Council meeting, the Council reviewed a request from Burnet Realty to consider amending the City's Subdivision Plattin°g Regulations to allow "zero lot line" subdivisions. The City Council in turn referred the matter to the Planning Commission for recommendation, and has also requested that the recommendation be submitted by April 21 , 1981 . The issue at hand centers on properties that have been developed with double bungalows. At the present time, these properties cannot be subdivided, and sold as individual dwellings and lots because one side lot line would split the dwelling and not provide for a minimum 15 foot side lot line as required by the City 7_oning Ordinance. The Subdivision Platting Regulations require plats to meet the minimum zoning requirements. • Therefore, the concept of "zero lot line" subdivision is presently precluded from the City Subdivision Platting Regulations. � 4 Within the past year, there have been a number of inquiries from owners of double bungalows requesting permission to provide for a "zero lot line" subdivision that would then allow them to sell one, or both dwelling units with accompanying property. In almost all of such cases encountered by Staff, the reason for such subdivisions are purely economic. The immediate question before the Planning Commission is whether or not - the City of Golden Valley desires to amend its subdivision ordinance to allow "zero lot line"' subdivisions to occur. I am presently researching this matter in more detail , and I hope to have more information to present on March 9, 1981 • MHM/dp • • March 4, 1981 T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator SUBJECT: Referral by City Council to Planning Commission for Recommend- ation on Possible Changes to Section 400:15 (City Building Code) Dealing with Floor Area Requirements The City Council is currently considering ordinance changes to the City Building Code. At their February 17 meeting, the City Council referred Section 400:15 Floor Area Requirements to the Planning Commission for recommendation as to possible changes. The Planning Commission is asked to review this Section and recommend whether the - � requirement should be dropped altogether, or modified upwards or downwards in any fashion. Councilperson Mary Anderson has requested time to address the Planning Commission on this issue. Attached for your review is a copy of Section 400:15 of the City Code. I will make more specific recommendations when the Planning Commission � addresses this issue. MHM/dp • Section 400:11 Section 400:11.
