Informal Public Hearing - Conditionat Use Permit APPLICANT: Reinertson and Associates LOCATION: 5800 Duluth St. REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of an office building exceeding 3 stories in height Chairman Thompson verified that the proponent, Reinertson and Associates, was � not represented and, therefore, postponed the hearing until later in the meeting, based on the possibility that a representative of the proponent would be present later. Chairman Thompson recognized one person in attendance for the hearing, a representative of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) , who expressed concern over the height of the proposed building due to its location in line with a MnDOT microwave tower. The MnDOT representative confirmed his willingness to wait for a period of time in hope the proponent would arrive and the hearing could proceed. In the interim while the Commission was waiting for arrival of a representative • from Reinertson and Associates, Commissioner Leppik raised a question concerning the letter from the applicant in Agenda Item II , a rezoning request from D.P. Blomquist. Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller reviewed possible uses of the building proposed by the proponent subject to rezoning. VII . Re�ort on Joint City Council/Ptanning Commission Subcommittee Meeting - June 9, 1g81 Chairman Thompson reported to the Planning Commission on the Joint City Council/ Planning Commission Subcommittee rtieeting held June 9, 1g81 , at which Chairman Thompson and Commissioner Singer represented the Planning Commission. Chairman Thompson reported that Council members Anderson and Mitchell , representing the City Council , prepared the meeting agenda covering ten items: 1. Communication of Planning Commission Requests to the City Council Communication of formal Planning Commission requests to the City Council through recording in the Planning Commission minutes is inadequate. Communica- tion of formal Planning Commission requests to the City Council should be by means of inclusion on the City Council agenda and appearance of a Planning Commissioner before the Council , by placement on the agenda of the Joint Subcommittee, or by written communication from the Planning Commission Chairman to the Mayor and City Council . 2. Lindsay Street Access to Highway 100 The City Council wished to know whether the Planning Commission had received any response to its request that the Lindsay Street access to Highway 100 be • closed. The Planning Commission reported that it had received no response. Page 4 � Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission June 22, 1981 • 3. Planning Commission Attendance Policy The City Councit inquired concerning Planning Commission attendance policy. The Council was referred to the Planning Commission By Laws. 4. Communication Between the Ptanning Commission and City Council or HRA �� Means of communication between the Planning Commission and the City Council or HRA should be between the Planning Commission Chairman and the Mayor, through the Joint Subcommittee, or between the Planning Commission Chairman and the HRA Chair. 5. Planning Commission Charge and Role The City Council requested that the Planning Commission discuss its perception of the Planning Commission charge and role. Chairman Thompson announced that this would be pursued as a separate agenda item. 6. Planning Commission Education Program The Subcommittee discussed plans for a continuing education program for Planning Commissioners. It was suggested that Planning Commissioners meet for discussion with Planning Commission members from neighboring communities, such as Crystal , Robbinsdale and Plymouth. Commissioner Eastes suggested that Planning Commissioners could benefit from academic type education programs as well and that a blend of the two approaches woutd be profitable. Chairman Thompson then suggested a presentation to a meeting with Commissioners from • several adjoining communities, followed by small group discussions. At this point in the meeting, Chairman Thompson noted that a representative of Reinertson and Associates still had not arrived in conjunction with the hearing scheduled as Item VI of the agenda. Chairman Thompson asked whether Commissioners and the MnDOT representative present for the hearing were willing to wait until 8:30 p.m. All expressed willingness to wait until that time, and it was decided to postpone the hearing or cancellationof the hearing until 8:30 p.m. Chairman Thompson then resumed his report on the June 9, 1981 Joint Subcommittee meeting: 7. Long Range Planning Commissioner Thompson stated that long range planning was an ongoing process and that Planning Commission work on revision of the Comprehensive Plan could properly begin the week after submission of the plan to the Metropolitan Council . Commissioner Eastes suggested that the Commission begin work sessions on a revised and improved Comprehensive Plan in the fall , and it was the general consensus of the Commission that fall would be an excellent tirr� to schedule this type of work. 8. Implementation of Housing Policy The City Council requested that the Planning Commission examine and recommend ways of implementing the City housing policy, with discussion to include housing, density, rezoning and land use questions. Commissioner Eastes sug- • gested that this task be delegated to one or more Planning Commission subcommittees to be formed in the fall , and it was the general consensus of the Commission that this would be another appropriate fall program item. . �a9e 5 Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission June 22, 1981 . 9. Boston APA Conference The City Council asked that the Planning Commission members who attended the APA Conference in Boston share with the Council and Planning Commission the information they received at the conference.

Planning Commission Concerns Regarding Tax Increment and CDBG Projects Chairman Thompson reported that he expressed to the Council representatives Planning Commission concerns regarding establishment of another tax increment district and use of CDBG funds for the subsidized housing project proposed by Bor-Son Construction Company in northwest Golden Valley. Chairman Thompson reported that he also expressed to the City Council representatives his personal concerns regarding the prospect of dealing with the City of Minneapolis in a joint project on the Ewald property. Commissioner Singer stated that he did not have anything to add to Chairman Thompson's report on the Joint Subcommittee meeting. VIII : Report on City Council Meeting - June 16, 1981 Commissioner Leppik represented the Planning Commission at the City Council meeting of June 16, 1981 , and reported the following City Council actions : � 1 . Disapproval of Zero Lot Line Division The City Council disapproved the request from Pietig Brothers, Inc. for a zero lot line division to divide one double bungalow into two residential lots. Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller offered an explanation of the Councit action, which was based on advice of the City Attorney that approval could lead to legal problems for the City. A question from Commissioner Singer concerning City liability in this type of case led to discussion of possible personal liability of Planning Commissioners and concern that Planning Commissioners be covered by liability insurance. Chairman Thompson agreed to write a letter to the Mayor expressing this Planning Commission concern. 2. Farmers Market at Carriage House Parking Lot The City Council referred to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation a request to use the Carriage House parking lot for a farmers market. Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller reported that he had met with the proponent and offered instructions on application procedures. It was his impression that the proponent intended to withdraw his application until next year due to the lateness of the season and time required to complete • application procedures. Therefore, Mr. Miller reported that it was uncertain whether the Planning Commission would have a referral in this case. . Page 6 Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission June 22, 1981 • 3.

Chairman Thompson stated that Mr. Reinertson would be required to appear before the Planning Commission to request a. new hearing date if he wishes to proceed with his application. The MnDOT repre- sentative who attended for the hearing agreed to contact Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller to explain MnDOT concerns regarding the building height. IX. Ap�ointment of Representative to CDBG Planning Area One Citizen Advisory � Cortgn i t tee Chairman Thompson announced that Commissioner Moede, who had agreed to represent the City on the CDBG Planning Area One Citizen Advisory Committee, has been unable to attend Committee meetings due to lack of time. Chairman Thompson asked for a volunteer to replace Commissioner Moede as the Golden Valley representative on the Committee. Since Commissioners did not have a clear idea of the time requirements involved, Chairman Thompson volunteered to attend the next Committee meeting and report back to the Planning Commission. X. Preparation of Planni�q Aids for Planninq Commissioners Commissioner Singer requested that a glossary of planning terms be provided for use by Planning Commissioners, and Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller agreed to prepare a glossary of planning terms within the next month.

Planninq Commission Role in South Wirth Parkway Redevelopment Project Chairman Thompson read to the Planning Commission a letter received from HRA Chair Mary Anderson in response to the Planning Commission's expressed concern over lack of Planning Commission participation in the South Wirth Parkway Redevel- opment Project.

Pursuant to their application for approval of their Preliminary Plat, known as Meadowbrook School Addition, the appli- cant is requesting that a date be set for an informal public hearing by the Planning Commission. In consideration of this request, I would recommend that the Planning Commission consider either July 27, 1g81 , or August 10, 1981 as the date for an informat public hearing on this Preliminary Plat. • kjm � . / T0: GOLDEN UALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: JULY 8, 1g81 � FROM: ALDA PEIKERT, ASStSTANT PLANNER SUBJECT: INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CITY COUNCIL REQUEST FOR REZONING - 9211 PLYMOUTH AVENUE - VANMAN CONSTRUCTION COMPAP�Y SITE The Golden Valley City Council proposes rezoning of the Vanman Constru- ction Company site, located at g211 Plymouth Avenue, from Industrial to Light Industrial . The Planning Commission, on March 23, 1981 , recommended approval of a request from Vanman Construction Company for rezoning of this site from M-1 Multiple Dwelling to Industrial to allow construction of company offices and an outside storage yard. As outlined in the staff report prepared for the Planning Commission at that time, the site had been zoned Industrial originally. The City rezoned the property to Multiple Dwelling in 197g when the HRA was considering the site as a location for "scattered site" housing. However, the HRA sub- sequently decided the property was unsuitable for "scattered site" housing. The Planning Commission recommendation for approval of the rezoning to Industrial was based on the previous Industrial zoning and on pre- dominantly industrial surrounding land uses. � The Golden Valley City Council , on May 5, 1981 , approved on first reading a zoning ordinance amendment to reclassify the property Industrial , with direction to staff to research potential for rezoning to Light Industrial . The City Council preference for Light Industrial was apparently due to the location of single family residential devel- opment directly to the north across Plymouth Avenue. Planning and Redevelopment Director Michael Miller reviewed the Vanman devetopment proposal under provisions of the Light Industrial Zoning Ordinance and determined that the proposed development would be allowable in the Light Industrial District, as well as in the Industrial District. The current Light Industrial Zoning Ordinance permits outside storage of materials provided they are directly related to the principal use and are screened from adjacent properties and streets. Mr. Richard Vanman of Vanman Construction Company indicated that these provisions would be acceptable and provided the City with a letter verifying that the proponent had no objections to rezoning to Light Industrial . Accordingly, on May 26, 1981 , the City Council approved on second reading the rezoning to Industrial to altow Vanman to begin construction, with direction to staff to initiate action necessary to rezone the property from Industrial to Light Industrial . Adjacent land uses include Forman-Ford Company zoned Industrial to the west and vacant aand zoned Industrial to .the east. To the south, across the railroad tracks, is a City dump site zoned Institutional , with Industrial to the east of the City property. To the north, across Ptymouth Avenue from both Forman-Ford and this site, is single family • residential development, with the General Mills Research Center zoned Industrial to the east of the residential area. Planning Commission • Page 2 Juty 8, 1981 Staff finds the current Industrial zoning compatible with su�rounding land uses and in conformance with the City`s Comprehensive Land Use -.Plan. The proposed zoning to Light Industrial will not alter use of the property by Vanman Construction Company. However, restriction to Light Industrial could provide residential areas to the north with a measure of protection from potentially incompatible future Industrial uses. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission advise the City Council that the Planning Commission concurs with the Council initiated re- zoning of 9211 Plymouth Avenue to Light Industrial .

Yours truly, ��c�------ � Richard V. Vanman President • T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: JULY 8, 1981 FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING � REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CONCEPT PLAN APPROVAL - P.U.D. #30-B "GOLDEN VALLEY HOUSING" BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: Bor-Son Companies is proposing a Planned Unit Development containing 64 units of family housing on a.5 acres of land, located on Hiltsboro-Mendelsonn Avenue, north of Kings Valley and west of Medley Park (see attached area map) . This proposal is aimed at providing housing for low, moderate, and middle- income families. Thirty-four (34) units are proposed for owner-occupancy for moderate and middle-income families with a price range from $55,000 to $70,000 (includes 1 bedroom quads and 2 bedroom townhause �units� . Thirty (30) units of townhouses are proposed for rental units available to low and moderate-income families under the HUD Section 8 rentat subsidy program. Amenities proposed for this development include two tot lots for youngsters, two ponding areas for natural amenities and retention of storm water runoff, and special landscaping to buffer uses and activities. It is further proposed that the Bor-Son Company will own and manage the project through its affiliate Bor-Son Investment Properties. • This Planned Unit Development (P.U.D. �30-B) is being offered for Concept Plan Approval . The primary purpose of submitting a Concept Plan for review at an early stage of the proposal is to determine if the proposed land use is appropriate for the area, or neighborhood, in which it is to be located. The Concept Plan should be considered with respect to such things as impact on the adjacent neighborhood, density, benefit to the neighborhood and the Community as a whole. Approval of a Concept Plan is essentially a positive statement of land use compatibility, and in no way binds either the Planning Commission or the City Council in guaranteeing approval of the General Plan of Development of the P.U.D. In short, the Concept Plan addresses the proposed development in general terms, whereas the General Plan of Development deals with specific design criteria being concerned with the detait of architecture, drainage, traffic, financial feasibility, etc. Land uses adjacent to the site proposed for P.U.D. #30-B include comrr�rcial uses to the north (liquor store, McDonald's and a small convenience retail center) , a city park (Institutionat) is located to the east, and single- family attached townhouses are located to the south (Kings Valley) . The western boundary of the proposed site is comprised of County Road 18 and its frontage road, Mendelsonn Avenue. The current comprehensive plan for the City of Golden Valley calls for this site. to be developed as a medium density Planned Unit Development (residential) . According to the Golden Valley Housing Policy, medium density is defined as being 5 to 12 dwelling units to the acre. P.U.D. #30-B is proposed at 7.5 • dwelling units to the acre. The Housing Policy also states a preference of 51 to 60 percent federal subsidy for subsidized housing projects. This P.U.D. Concept Plan proposes approximately 47 percent of the dwelling units would be subsidized rental un"rts, while the remaining units would be owner-occupied and . Golden Valley Planning Commission -2- July 8, 1981 made available to moderate and middle-income families. This concept appears to provide for a good economic mix as well as a variety of housing opportunities (rental , owner-occupied townhouses, condo) . With respect to the proposed Concept Plan and the number of people it is intended to serve, the proponent projects that this development would house approximately 86 adults and 86 children. Attached you will find a copy of . the proposed Concept Plan. It appears that the impact on the adjacent neighborhood (Kings Valley) would be minimal if the proponent adequately addresses certain concerns raised by the neighbors. These concerns which center on drainage, landscaping, traffic, building and walkway locations. Attached you will find a letter from the proponent outlining steps that either have been taken, or will be taken to address these neighborhood concerns. RECOMMENDATION: � Considering that the Concept Plan for P.U.D. 30-B appears to comply with all , or most, land use considerations and neighborhood concerns, as well as compliance with the Comprehensive Ptan, and substantial compliance with the Golden Valley Housing Policy, I would recommend that the Planning Commission � give favorable consideration to the Concept Plan for P.U.D. #30-8. kjm . BOR-SON CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES 2001 Killebrew Drive Post Office Box 1611 Minneapolis, MN 55440 [612] 8548444 July 2, 1981 Mr. Mike Miller Golden Valley Planning Department City of Golden Valley 7800 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, Minnesota 55427 Subject: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Application Amendment PUD Application No. Dear Mr. Miller: You requested that we meet with the neighborhood interests and coordinate the planning with them where possible. You also requested that we submit any plan modifications as a result of these resident review sessions. We are, therefore, submitting this amended plan for Planning Commission consideration. As developer, we met with the neighborhood groups for 3 hours on June 29th � in two separate meetings. The first meeting was with the Galant townhouse property owners to the north and the second meeting was with the King's Valley Neighborhood Association representing residents i�ediately to the � south. As you can well ima.gine, a wide range of issues and subjects were covered during the 3 hour review session. At the conclusion, we indicated our willingness to take those issues discussed and re-think and re-plan the entire area to deal with the points of the discussion. I have, for the purpose of this brief report, summarized them as follows: 1. Surface water run-off and drainage to the south. 2. Density and density related traffic matters. 3. Preservation of wildlife habitat at the south border of the Galant property. 4. A landscaping buffer at the south property line of the Gunderson property. 5. Relocation of the southeast vehicle entrance to the Gunderson property. 6. Relocation of the walkway directed to Medley Park. 7. Relocation of the garages located near the 6 existing Galant townhouses. 8. A circulation traffic pattern to eliminate front traffic at the existing Galant townhouses. � GENERAL CONTRACTORS CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS INVESTMENT RROPERT'IE5 DEVELOPMENT Page Z As indicated, the above issues were reviewed very carefully based on the � comments made and the d3scussion which surrounded these issues. We have since met with the architects and engineers to determine what modifications can be made from a planning standpoint. We have concluded the following: 1. That the density be reduced from 70 units to 64 units for the 3 parcels involved. That is., the Gunderson parcel of 3.2 acres, the Galant Stage II parcel of 3.8 acres, and the . lowland pond of 1.5 acres, which would be acquired by the City of Golden Valley, or a gross acreage of 8.5. This projects a density of 64 units divided by 8.5 acres or 7.5 units per acre. 2. The run-off plan will be handled by constructing two on-site retention ponds for 15.7 acre feet of storage under heavy storm conditions. This should provide safe and adequate storage to limit over-run to the south from this property. The large pond at the southeast should provide additional drainage storage to correct some deficiencies in the general drainage system from the north. 3. Move the southeast vehicle entrance 45 feet to the north and provide a special landscaped buffer along the south boundary of the Gunderson property as shown on the modified concept plan. 4. Retain the wildlife and lowland area in a natural form at the south portion of the Galant property with a relocation of the • walkway to the park to the north. S. Modify the garage locations for the 1 bedroom ownership units away from the existing Galant townhouses. We respectfully request your consideration of these changes and further request Planning Commission approval of the preliminary PUD as now submitted. Sincerely yours, BOR-SO IE � Donald A.
