T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Ptanning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Set Date for Informal Public Hearing for P.U.D. 31-4950
Olson Memorial Highway
Bruce 0. Newton, Real Estate, Minnetonka has proposed to develop an
office park P.U.D. comprising 38,000 square feet of total offiice area
contained in four buildings on 2.g4 acres of land. The site in question
is located at 4950 Olson Memorial Highway, immediately west of the White
House restaurant. An informal public hearing has been requested by the
proponent, who because of the small size of the P.U.D. wishes to take
the option of "Approval of General Plan without Concept Approval" as
allowed in the P.U.D. ordinance.
I would recommend that the Planning Commission consider eifher June 22,
1981 , or July 13, 1981 , as a date for an informal public hearing.

• SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
Fifty-Five-One Hundred Office Park
4950 Olson Memorial Highway
Golden Valley, Minnesota
EXISTING SITE
The existing site is located along the north side of S.T. Highway 55 (Olson
Memorial Highway) approximately 2/l0 mile east of S.T. Highway 100, immediately.
west of the White House restaurant. The site is presently undeveloped.
Several soil borings and test holes have been taken on the site. These borings
and test holes indicate that there has been 8 - 10 feet of fill placed on top
of the natural organic soils. Over the years, the site has been filled with
various materials from sand and rock to concrete chunks, bottles, cans, and
other debris. There is evidence of very recent dumping of debris on the site
near the frontage road.
Small trees, brush, and weeds are predominant on the site. A portion of the
site is within the flood plain of a tributary to Sweeney Lake and Bassett Creek.
• PROPOSAL �
Brookings Development Corporation is proposing to construct four single-story
office buildings on the site and to subdivide the property to provide for individual
ownership of the buildings. By developing this as a Planned Unit Development,
the subdivision can be accomplished. In addition, the "green" areas, parking
lots and driveways can then be held in joint ownership to be maintained by the
owners' association.
There will be a total of 38,000 square feet of building and approximately 152
parking stalls provided (] stall/250 square feet of building).
To insure against flood damage, the site will be filled such that the building
floors will be two feet above the flood elevation. To compensate for the
filling, the "green" areas of the site will be excavated to provide additional
flood storage.
All of the buildings, the sanitary sewer, and watermain will be supported on
piling, as the underlying subsoils do not provide adequate bearing capacity
for foundations or for pipe bedding.
PARKING AND DRIVEWAY AREAS
It is proposed to construct the parking and driveway areas on an engineered fill
• consisting of adequate granular sub-base and aggregate base. The parking lots
will be bituminous surfaced. The parking stalls will be nine feet by 20 feet,
except for the handicapped parking stalls, which will be 12 feet by 20 feet.
�
-2-
• TRAFFIC
As shown on the Site Plan, access will be required at one location at the
approximate mid-point of the site. This access will be from the existing
frontage road and no direct access to Highway 55 will be required.
Presently, there are two access roads from the frontage road to Highway 55
and one access via the frontage road to Highway 100.
It is significant that the proposed development is an office complex in that
the types of vehicles expected to ingress and egress the site will be primarily
personal passenger vehicles. The property is zoned Industrial and if developed
as such, the number and size of vehicles using the site may increase substantially.
Heavy commercial truck traffic could be expected with industrial development.
It is also significant that the site is on a bus route where scheduled stops are
frequent. According to the Metropolitan Transit Authority's information office
and the Medicine Lake Bus Company, Highway 55 is a primary bus route at this
location, with scheduled stops at or near the proposed office site on a schedule
of every 15 - 30 minutes all day during the work week. Thus, this transportation
mode is available and probably would be used by some of the employees at the
office site.
There will be expected 130 - 150 employees at the site, thus, generating 260 -
300 vehicle trips per day beginning or ending at the site. From date compiled
• by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (Trip Generation Manual , 1976), a
total of 12.3 trips/day/1 ,000 square feet of building is an average calculated
for such general office developments. This is 467 trips/day for the proposed
site, of which 300 will be employees and 167 will be others.
The employee traffic will occur during the peak traffic hours between 7 - 9 a.m.
and 4 - 6 p.m. The other non-employee traffic will be distributed over the normal
workday.
It is expected that the morning and afternoon peak traffic to and from the site
would not substantially conflict with the traffic to and from the restaurants
immediately east of the office site. During the morning peak hours, the inflow
of traffic to the office site will be distributed and the traffic to the rest-
aurants will not be substantial . During the afternoon, peak hours, the traffic
will be from the office site and will again be distributed.
During the late afternoon and evening, traffic wila be into the restaurant and
will tend to be distributed over the hours beginning after the normal office
hours.
It is realized that, at time, the traffic along Highway 55 tends to be heavy
and congested. However, the development of the office site will not significantly
change this situation, neither for the better or for the worse. It is pointed
out that any development on this site will generate traffic. Some types of
development will generate more traffic than others. Some industrial developments
tend to generate more traffic. Most industrial developments will generate heavy
• commercial truck traffic and office development generally does not.
•r
-3-
� The single entrance to the site will function to minimize points of traffic
conflict along the frontage road. The single entrance concept has been
reviewed with the City Engineer and meets his approval .
BUILDINGS
The proposed buildings are to be single-story buildings approximately 13 feet
high. They are to be of face brick and stucco exterior as shown on the pre-
liminary building plans. There are four buildings, each of which will be
9,500 square feet for a total of 38,000 square feet.
The building foundation will have to be supported on pilings.
It is proposed that each building occupy an individual lot in the development
and thus eould be individually owned.
LANDSCAPING
It is proposed to landscape the site such that the "green" areas and trees
compliment the building exteriors. Grading, sodding and planting the site will
greatly improve the appearance from its existing use as a dump area.
• UTILITIES
Utilities are available to the site from the existing lines along the frontage
road. It is expected that the sanitary sewer and watermain for the site will
have to be supported on piling.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Set Date for Informal Public Hearing - Conditional Use
Permit - 5800 Duluth Street
in accordance with the provisions of the newly adopted revised Business
and Professional Office Zone District (Section 10.04) the development
firm of Reinartson and Associates is requesting a Conditional Use Permit
that would allow construction of an office building exceeding three
stories in height (a four story building is planned) . The Planning
Commission is required to conduct an informal public hearing within
30 days of receiving the Conditional Use Permit application according
to Section 19.03(E) of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, I would
recommend that the Planning Commission set June 22, 1981 , as the date
for the informal public hearing on this matter.

T0: Gotden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Request for Waiver of the Platting Ordinance 750 Boone
Avenue North
J. W. Beal and W. M. Horner, 750 Boone Avenue North are requesting a waiver
of the City Platting Ordinance that woutd allow a lot division of Lot 11 ,
Busch's Golden Va11ey Acres which would create two individual lots zoned
Industrial . The northerly portion of Lot 11 , Busch's Golden Valley Acres
is occupied by the Beal Building, which is leased for office space. The
proposed lot division would provide for atl required setbacks for such
a structure and parking lot located within an Industrial Zone District.
The southerly portion of said Lot 11 is presently being developed as a
parking lot for Jewelmont Corporation, located at 800 Boone Avenue North.
Within the past year Jewelmont expended its Jewelry manufacturing facility
necessitating the acquisition of additional land for employee parking.
• Jewelmont has arranged to lease 40,891 square feet (0.94 acres) from the
owners of the Beal Building for this purpose. Therefore, a lot division
separating the Beal Building land use from the Jewelmont employee
parking has become necessary.
In view of the above stated circumstances and conditions , I would
recommend that the Planning Commission take favo.rable action regarding
the requested waiver of the Platting Ordinance.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Request for Waiver of the Platting Ordinance - 6435
Medicine Lake Road
William Haldy (owner} and West Suburban Buitders (buyer) , Golden Valley,
are requesting a waiver of the Platting Ordinance that would allow the
division of one residentially zoned lot into two residentially zoned
lots. As indicated on the attached map, Parcel 6 of this lot division,
by itself, would be a landlocked parcel of land without access to a
public street. However, as also indicated on the attached map, West
Suburban Builders, inc. is the owner of adjacent property to the south �
and west of Parcel B with ample frontage on Florida Avenue North. This
property is being purchased and assembled by West Suburban Builders , Inc.
who plan to develop the property in the future. Prior to developing the
property, it will have to be platted into individual lots. This property
is also located north of Carl Sandberg Junior High School . Except for
the Junior High School , which is zoned Institutional , all adjacent
• land uses are single family residential .
In view of existing conditions and in consideration of future development
potential , I would recommend favorable consideration of the requested
waiver of the Platting Ordinance by the Planning Commission.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning & Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Request for Waiver of the Platting Ordinance - 4680 Olson
Memorial Highway
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Mr. Jean Poole, General Manager, Minnesota Communications, Golden Valley,
is requesting a waiver of the Platting Ordinance that would allow the
subdivision of one industrially zoned lot into two industrially zoned
lots at 4680 Olson Memorial Highway. (See attached Lot Division map.)
Minnesota Communications is the intended purchaser of Parcel 2, comprising
approximately 79,000 square feet (1 .8 acres) which is intended for use
as a radio communications transmiter site with tower. Parcel 1 will be
retained and continue to be used by Rainbow Sales, Inc. Access to Parcel 1
is from Olson Memorial Highway via the Frontage Road. Parcel 2 would be
accessible only via an easement across Parcel 1 , as Parcel 2 does not
• front en any public improved street.
If a waiver of the Platting Ordinance should be approved, it should be
only on the condition that Parcel 2 be rezoned from Industrial to Radio
Zone District. The use intended for this property would require that
it be zoned Radio Zone District. Under this zoning classification, only
radio and/or television transmiting and receiving facilities would be
allowed. No other use would be permitted. With respect to access to this
site, a properly executed access easement across Parcel 1 should suffice
for the use intended. The site will eventually contain only a small
building containing transmiting and receiving equipment along with a tower.
No employees or technicians would be required on site other than at certain
times for maintenance and repair purposes.
It should be pointed out that the current City Platting Ordinance
(Section 440:80(2)) Parks, Playgrounds, Open Spaces, Storm Water Holding
Areas and Ponds, requires a subdivider to either donate 10 percent of the
land to be subdivided for the aforementioned purposes , or a cash donation
in lieu of a land donation. Minnesota Communications is requesting that
this requirement be waived based on the fact that the intended use of the
land would not generate the need for any additional open space recreational ,
or land for holding ponds.

Memo to Planning Commission
• RE: Request for Waiver of the Platting Ordinance - 4680 Olson
Memorial Highway
RECOMMENDATION:
In view of the proposed use of this property and the fact that it would be
landlocked and not readily adaptable for any other use, I would recommend
that the Planning Commission give favorable consideration to this request
subject to the proponent, Minnesota Communications, successfully obtaining
approval of a rezoning of Parcel 2 from Industrial to Radio District.
1 would also recommend that the Planning Commission give favorable con-
sideration toward recommending a waiver of Section 440:80�2) of the
Platting Ordinance.

MEMO

T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING � REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF PLATTING ORDINANCE -
Lot Division, 255� � 2553 Douglas Drive
Pietig Brothers, Inc. , a home building construction firm, is requesting
a waiver from the Platting Ordinance that would permit the subdivision
of one residential lot containing a double bungalow into two individual
lots with one dwetling unit located on each lot. This would be a "zero
lot line" subdivision.
�
The property in question is located in the southwest quadrant of the
intersection of Medicine Lake Road and Douglas Drive adjacent to the
Golden Valley-Crystal City boundaries. Zoned single family residential ,
the surrounding neighborhood within Golden Valley is also zoned and
utilized as a single family residential neighborhood. To the north, in
Crystal , land use is comprised primarily of multi-family residential
• to the northwest and neighborhood commercial to the northeast.
Attached is a communication from the Pietig Brothers stating their reasons
for requesting a waiver of the Platting Ordinance. It should be noted that
if this waiver is approved, the Pietig Brothers witl have to appeal to
the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance from minimum lot width and
lot area requirements for Parcel "B", and a variance from the minimum
side lot setback requirement for buildings on both parcels. This subdi-
vision, if approved, would also provide an easement for sewer across
Parcel "A" to Parcel "B", and an easement for driveway purposes across
Parcel "B" to Parcel "A". The driveway entrance to this property was
located where shown on the attached survey by Hennepin County in grantino
a driveway permit to the owners of the prooerty in order to alleviate
possible traffic confticts at the intersection of P�edicine Lake Road and
Douglas Drive (both of which are County highways) . .
Inasmuch as the existing land use would not change, and the lot division
would not adversely affect the adjacent neighborhood, it is difficult to
oppose the reouested waiver. However, there will be no direct benefit to
Golden Valley as a result of such a lot division. If the Planning Commission
should choose to recommend approval of this request, then such recommenda-
tion should be conditional , and subject to the proponent successfully re-
ceiving the necessary variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Work Session - Comprehensive Ptan Land Use Element
It is essential that the Planning Commission complete its review of
the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan at the June 8, 1981 ,
meeting. The total Comprehensive Plan must be submitted to the
Metropolitan Council by the City Council no later than July 1 , 1981 •
Enclosed is an amended draft of the Land Use Elerr�nt prepared by
Commission Chairman Dave Thompson and myself. Please read this
draft and make written notes on items of concern to you. A new
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map will also be available for review
at the June 8, 1981 , Planning Commission meeting. This map will also
have to be reviewed, revised and approved at the June 8, 1981 , rrt�eting.
Ptease be prepared to work on the substance ofi the Land Use Element.
w
s
• L A N D U S E
Golden Valley is considered to be a fully developed first ring suburb
of Minneapolis. Land use has been dictated in the past by population,
economic factors, technological changes, and transportation corridors.
A definite land use pattern has been established in Golden Valley. It
is important that the City control the future of land use within the
City and the further development of the existing land uses.
There are three basic and fundamental reasons for controlling land use
within Golden Valley. They are as follows:
1) To provide elected officials and the general public with a better
understanding of the relationship between land use and develop-
ment, and the associated requirements for public and private
investments.
Z) Utilizing the Land Use Plan as a framework in which to discuss
the potential patterns and characteristics of Golden Valley's
future devel�pment.
3) Stimulating interest in and discussion of the interrelated
physical , social and economic issues facing the City.
• The General Land Use map on the following page summarizes Golden Valley's
existing land use patterns. The following are.some of the general
characteristics associated with Golden Valley's Land Use patterns:
1) Single-family residential land use dominates the land use pattern.
2) Corrrnercia1 uses are scattered throughout the City and there is
presently a lack of a clearly defined Central Business District
(CBD) . However, ptanning efforts are currently underway to provide v
an identifiable CBD within the Valley Square Redevelopment District.
3) Golden Valtey has a good industrial base that is scattered throughout
the community.
4) Significant natural environmental features provide the City with a
good deal of open space. Bassett Creek flows across the community.
Theodore Wirth� Park area provides the City with an eastern natural
buffer from the City of Minneapolis.
5) A number of physical barriers, such as the M.N. � S. Railroad,
Minnesota Western Railroad, TaH. 55, T.H. 12 (I-394) , County Road
18, and T.H. 100, divide the City into a number of small neighborhoods.
Golden Valley has developed an attractive and balanced mix of residential ,
commercial , industrial , and park/recreation land uses. The City has reached
the "fully developed" stage, with little land remaining for residential ,
• commercial or industrial usage. Previous decisions have resulted in the
current mix of 60% residential , 18i industrial (light and heavy) , 17%
institutionat (public and quasi-public) and 5% commercial .

CURRENT LAND USE ISSUES
�
L - y'
i •
\
Given this "fully developed" character, one can reasonably assume that
• the City's future land use patterns will not substantially change or
alter over the coming 20-30 years.
Thirty to forty years in the future, however, a number of areas in the
City may require redevelopment/re�oning for other more intense uses.
Age and condition of existing housing/buildings, adjacent land uses,
housing requirements, population shifts, new technologies, transportation
services, etc. , are criteria to be considered.
The location and intensity of various land uses typically determines the
overall characteristics of a city's landscape and physical form. In
Golden Valley, this pattern of land use is currently characterized by four
major zoning districts. They include:
Residential Zoning District
This primary and dominant land use within Golden Valley provides
residents with sound, attractive and healthy neighborhoods in which
to reside with reasonable confidence that the neighborhood character
will be preserved. Presently, these residential land uses comprise
approximately 60 percent of the City's total land area, and are
generally located contiguous to one another, rather than in isolated
pockets.
Geographically, the City's residential land is predominantly located
in the North and Southeast sections of the City's corporate limits.
� Historically, Golden Valley has shown a deliberate attempt to protect
the environment and lifestyle epitomized by the single family dwelling.
The single family living environment has been substantially established
as the predominant residential land use, and most land so suited has
been developed.
There are, however, a number of tracts of land with poor soils, poor v
drainage, or lying between an existing residential development and more
intense used land that could be utilized for residential purposes. With
respect to those tracts of land adjacent to more intensely developed
land, it may be necessary to consider future use of such tracts for
transitional uses in order to more properly blend with existing land
uses. Both the residential Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) and the
"mixed-use" Planned Unit Development could afford Golden Valley the
best opportunity to accomplish this task.
a) Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.)
Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) is a relatively new development
technique which has only been used extensively in the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area in the last decade. In the many outlying
suburban communities receiving the lion's share of the growth
in the Metropolitan Area, this development r�thod had been ,
used to advantage in major portions of those conununities.
•
�-5
The diversity of housing types that can be created in a single
� project, the creation of interconnected open space, and the
inclusion of many community services has created a newly
accepted lifestyle.
Although the P.U.D. concept offers the best opportunity for
good innovative design, it is still up to the City to insist
that it receive good design handled with intelligence,
sensitivity and due regard for the cor�nunity around it. A
summary of some of the advantages that the P.U.D. offers are
as follows :
- The P.U.D. 's clustered houses create common areas of
open land that can run through the entire project
instead of being concentrated in a few small parks or
- recreation areas.
- The P.U.D. gives the land planner and architect a
much more important role, so that the resulting
development is more likely to be well planned and
designed. _
- The P.U.D. requires a better organized, better financed
developer, and so discourages the fly-by-night devetoper,
which is a definite advantage both to the City and to
the resident of the P.U.D. itself.
. - In addition to the above, the mixed-use P.U.D. o�fers �
an excellent opportunity for developing transitional
areas, providing for integration of such land uses as
medium density residential , light commercial , business
and professional office, and/or light industrial .
Commercial Zoning District
The commercial land use areas of the City serve as service nodes
providing shopping and business opportunities for residents. These
nodes (commercial strips and centers) are accessible by automobile,
bicycle and foot and if located appropriately, these Districts can
offer the City an important identifying tand use for enhancing
community identity and dignity.
in Golden Valley, the commercial nodes and strips are located along
major transportation arterials and intersections. They comprise
approximately 5i of the City's total land area and can be found
at three principal locations :
a) Valley Square
Located west and east of Winnetka Avenue North, and north of
T.H. 55, this node serves Golden Valley as its primary Central
• Business District (downtown) . This area is currently under-
going intensive study relative to an intensive redevelopment
and revitalization effort.
�-6
The City has established a Valley Square Commission to advise
• the City Council on future redevelopment and revitalization
of this area. A market feasibility study and a land use study
have been completed by consultants, as well as the development
of a concept plan for the area. Additional studies are also �
being completed which should provide the Valley Square Commission
and the City with additional professional expertise that , hope-
fully, will provide the City with direction relative to future
redevelopment activities in the area.
b) Spring Gate Shopping Mall
Located at the intersection of T.H. 100 and Duluth Street
primarily serves the northeastern section of Golden Valley. F
c) Golden Hills Shop ing Center
Located north of T.H. 12, west of T.H. 100, and east of Turner's
Crossroad, this neighborhood convenience center serves the
,.-
residential neighborhood immediately to the north.
Industrial Zoninq District
Industrial land uses (light and heavy) provide the City with job
opportunities, as well as a strong tax revenue base. These industrial
• lands comprise approximately 18i of the total land in Golden Valley
and lie primarily adjacent to railroad and major thoroughfare corridors.
This provides efficient access to industrial sites often engaged in
product manufacturing and product transport.
The Land Use Plan recognizes five (5) general areas to be targeted
for industrial development. All five of these areas are presently
committed in part to industrial use and it is anticipated that the
remaining vacant land designated on the plan as industrial will be so
developed.
Inasmuch as Golden Valley is very close to being fully developed, future �
industrial development of any significant size will undoubtedly require
redevelopment of existing land use to provide the land area needed for
any sizeable industrial development. It should also be noted that since
the City is nearly fully developed, it shall be the continuing policy
of the City of Golden Valley to stress quality land use development that
will benefit the Community as a whole.
Institutional Zoning District (Public and Quasi-Public Land Uses)
Institutionally zoned land in Golden Valley consists of land uses devoted
to such services as education, recreation, health care and religion. In �
Golden Valley, these uses are located on a scattered site basis.
•
L-7
Some of the more significant areas zoned Institutional include:
. Brookview Municipal Golf Course
Regional and Neighborhood Parks
Church Property
Hospital and Clinic Properties
County Property (developed and undeveloped)
Sfate Property (developed and undeveloped)
City Property (developed and undeveloped)
School Properties (private and public)
Institutional land use in Golden Vatley comprises approximately
17 percent of the City's total land area.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Work Session - Revisions to Zoning Ordinance
Realizing that the June 8, 1981 , Planning Commission meeting will have
a rather full agenda, I would like to remind the Commission that if
time allows the Planning Commis.sion should try to complete its review
of the revisions to the Zoning Ordinance that the Commission has had
under consideration since early April . The sections of the Zoning
Ordinance under consideration at this time are the following:
1 . Light Industrial
2. Radio District
• 3. Railroad District

City of Golden Valley May 29, �g8�
T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROA�: David Thorapson, Chairman ��)
Minnesota law permits cities to issue industrial�commercial devel�pment
revenue bonds and to approve tax-exempt mortgages as a means of encour-
aging economic development and the use of what is considered marginal
la nd.
From time to time, the city gets requests from developers for tax-exempt
mortgages. City policy requires that these requests be reviewed by a
tax-exempt financin� review committee. As your chairman, I serve on
this committee along with the chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals
and the chairman of the Building Board of Review.
On May 27, our committee met to consider two proposals. One was frocn
BTO Development Corp., for an office building �:t 4825 Olson Hwy. , across
from the White House. The second was fr�n Mark Reinertson, an architect
• representing his firm, for an office building �t 5800 Duluth St., across
from the Bassett Creek Medical-Dental Building.
Our committee must make findings based on the following: 1) Does the
proposed development require tax-exempt financing as a result of poor
soil conditions to make the proposed development competitive with simil�r
develapments within the city? 2) Does the proposed development offer
significant advantages to the City which would not be available otherwise
which warrants this pro3ect receiving tax-exempt financing over other
proj ec�s?
In �y view, gang, soil condition is THE critical issue. Unless it is �a
poor that it would require considerable additional expense for building,
we need not consider number 2.
Our committee recommended approval of the BTO request by a 3-0 vote. Soil
tests showed piling to a depth of 70 feet required. On the other hand, we
unanimously recommended denial of the Reinertson request. Despite his
claim that proximity to Bassett Creek meant poor soil, the tests did not,
in our view, show this to be true. 4:e did not buy his assertion thet his
proposal would eliminate one blighted area (one house cited as dan�erous by
Lloyd Becker) and another potential blighted area (one more house) . 'I�a�
houses do not an area make.
