Meeting.
II . INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING
APPLICANT: John Paulson � Woody Ginkel
LOCATION: 1370 Douglas Drive
REQUEST: Change Zoning from M-1 (Multiple Family - 2 stories)
� to M-2 (Multiple Family - 4 stories)
Mike Miller gave a brief presentation on the background of the proposal
and noted the fact that Mr. Paulson had made a previous proposal under
the PUD ordinance in 1977 on the same site. That structure was different
from the present proposal and it was approved both by the Planning
Commission and the City Council . For financial reasons the development
was never implemented and after one year all proposals were rendered
null and void.
Woody Ginkel addressed the commission and answered questions regarding
the construction of the proposed 4 story, 38 unit apartment building.
Although the structure will be 4 stories, the contour of the property
is such that the roof of the structure will only extend 24' above
street level . �
Edstrom stated that he would prefer to have had this proposal submitted
under the PUD ordinance.
After a brief discussion about access and safety, it was moved by Edstrom
seconded by De Sautels and carried unanimously that the proposal to rezone
the subject property from M-1 to M-2 be recommended for approval con-
tingent on the fact that the proponent submit the plans to the Public
Safety Department prior to council review.

FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: DISCUSSIOW OF T.H. 12 MORATORIUM ORDINANCE
At the request of the Planning Commission Chairperson, Assistant City Attorney
A1lan Barnard will be prese�t at the January 28 Planning Commission meeting
to discuss the interpretation of the T.H. 12 Moratorium Ordinance. Since
Mr. Barnard is the author of this ordinance, he should be able to clear up
any misunderstanding that the Planning Commission might have regarding their
responsibilities under the ordinance.
I would strongly suggest that each Planning Commission member review the
T.H. 12 Moratorium Ordinance prior to the meeting so that you can be prepared
to raise any questions pertinent to the ordinance. Also, I. would suggest
that you bring your copy of the Moratorium Ordinance to the Planning Commission
meeting on Monday, January 28, 1980.

. DATE: JANUARY 21 , 1g$0
T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR REZOP�ING - 8401 MEDICINE LAKE ROAD
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The New Life Alano Society, an adju� of Alcoholics Anonymous, is proposing
to purchase an older single family dwetling located on a 1 .38 acre parcel
of land at 8401 Medicine Lake Road for the purpose of using the property
as a meeting place for their activities. At present, the property in ques-
. tion, as well as the adjacent neighborhood, is zoned Residential . In order
to comply with the Golden Valley Zoning Ordinance, the property would have
to be rezoned to Institutional (I-3) to allow this type of land use. Up to the
present time the property has been utilized as a single family dwelling.
Surrounding tand use in this neighborhood is predominantly low density single
family residential . Land use to the north, in the City of New Hope, is
mostly higher density residential . The site itself is a rather large parcel
of land being 150 feet wide and 400 feet deep. The dwelling located on the
property is setback approximately 56 feet from the southerly right-of-way line
of Medicine Lake Road, and is located slightly off-center on the lot. Because
� the building favors the front portion of the lot, there is a deep rear yard
area of approximately 291 feet.
The proponents do not propose to expand or alter the exterior of the building.
They would plan to renovate the interior to provide space for meeting rooms.
Exterior site plans call for the addition of a second driveway along the east
side of the property to the rear yard where 52 parking stalls would be provided.
According to information provided by the hdew Life Atano Society, this facility
would be used primarily in the evening, and would not provide any overnight
or residential use. Attached is a copy of a letter from the organization
regarding their operation, and copies of letters of endorsement from neighbors,
city officials, and concerned citizens from New Hope relative to the organization
and its past performance.
At the request of Commissioner Ron Edstrom, I am including below the various
land uses allowed within an Institutional (I-3) Zone District:
1 . Lodge Halls and private clubs;
2. Hospitals, Rest Homes, Sanitaria, Nursing Homes, Clinics and other
buildings incidental to the operation thereof;
3. Such other uses which in the opinion of the City Council , ar� compatible
with the uses specifically described above.
RECOMMENDP+T I ON
� The proposed tand use would provide a significant beneficial service to the
Community of Golden Valley. Its location within a residential neighborhood
January 21 , 1g80 Memo
• Page 2
should not cause an adverse impact upon the adjacent singte family land use.
As pointed out by the proponents, the facility would be used mainly late in
the day between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. There would be no reason to expect
that the use of this property by the New Life Alano Society would create any
unnecessary traffic problems on Medicine Lake Road.
Perhaps the greatest physical impact that this type of land use would have
on the immediate neighborhood would be the location of a parking lot in the
rear of the�property. However, since the rear yard is quite large, an adequate
parking facility can be provided with ample landscaped open space remaining.
Overall , the. New Life Alano Society operation would be desirable land use at this
location, and 1 would recommend that the Planning Commission consider favorable
action on the matter. I would also suggest that the proponents be required to
develop additional landscaped screening along the east and west property lines.

To whom it may concern:
At this time I would like to explain to you why
New Life Alano Inc. is applying to the City of Golden
Valley for a zoning change. New Life Alano Inc. has nade
an offer to purchase the property at 8401 Medicine Lake
Road. It is our intent to use the property as a meeting
place for Alcoholics Anonymous.
I would like to give you a little background of
Alcoholics Anonymous. The program was started in 1935
- and has grown to an excess of well over one million members
nation wide. It is proven that Alcoholics Anonymous has
been and always will be an asset to the communities where
clubs are located.
The New Life Alano is a split from New Hope Alano,
which has been in existence for twelve years. The hours �
that the club will be used are generally from six o'clock
to ten o'clock at night. It is our intent to be of service
. � to the people of Golden Valley to help fight the number 1
chemical dependency problem, which is alcoholism. If there
are any questions we can answer for you, we would be more
than happy to do so.
Respectfully Yours, �
� Tom Donnelly
New Life Alano Inc.

To 14hom It P•1a�� Concern:
It is my understanding that a group of individua.ls associated
with Alcoholics Anonymous located at 7615 liass Lake Road wish
to form a new group which is to be locared in Golden Valley.
I have been asked if I w�uld submit a short letter regarding
the above mentioned Alcoholics Anonymous organization while
located in New }�ope. The facilitv has been in opera.tion for
ap�roximately ten years and wc, thc personne] of the Police
• Department, have had no problems with this organization while
tl�ey have been in operatioii.
It may be noted that on several occasions in the past when we
have had an intoxicated person at tlie station who required some
form of assistance, this �r�ani�ation cooperated fiilly with us.
I feel that this or�anization }�as ��roven to be a very worthwhile
service to the co�nunity ti�hile in existence.
If the nek* Alcoholics Anonymous is allowed to operate out of
Golden Valley and is run as well as the or�anization in New
Ilope, I bclieve it will be an asset to your carrQnunity. I do
not hesitate to recorronend this group.
Sincerely,

Dear Sirs;
It is my understanding that New Life Alano, Inc. proposes purchasing
a home in Golden Valley to be used for meetings by AA, Alanon, and
Alateen groups. ,
We see this type of activity as contributing, in a very positive way,
to the sustained recovery of the chemically dependent person.
Sincerely,

.
DATE: JANUARY 3, 1980
� T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING � REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT - T.H. 12 MORATORIUM AREA
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Edwin J. Turnquist, owner of 2.g7 acres of land located at b300 Wayzata Boutevard,
is resubmitting a request for approval to develop a 151 unit motel on his
property. The .property in question is located within the T.H. 12 Moratorium
Area and east of Florida Avenue. This site also lies east of the site of the
proposed E1 Torito Mexican Restaurant. All of the proporty within the immediate
area is zoned Industrial .
In conjunction with the development of the Mexican restaurant and Mr. Turnquists
proposed development, a service road connecting with Florida Avenue and Colorado
Avenue will be constructed jointly by the City of Golden Valley and the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. This service road will provide access to these
proposed developments without hinderance to the proposed future upgrading
of T.H. 12.
� According to the present zoning ordinance for the City of Golden Valley, a
motel development would be a permitted use within an industrial Zone District.
The proposed development would be known as the "Thrifty Scot Motel" and
would contain 151 sleeping units in a two story structure. Thrifty Scot
is strictly a motel operation with no facilities for food or beverage service.
Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. Turnquist to the Planning Commission
which provides additional background and justification for his proposed develop-
ment. Also attached is a copy of the proposed site plan for this development.
Development of this site, and adjacent properties, will not require the construc-
tion of any new Trunk sanitary or storm sewer lines. However, individual
santtary and storm sewer lines will have to be installed to serve the proper-
ties as they are developed. The same is true with municipal water service.
Upgrading of T.H. 12 will in no way adversely affect the provision of utilities
�to this site. In addition, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has
been fully informed of the development plans for this site and has expressed no
objection to the development.
RECOMMENDATION
While it is the intent of the T.H. 12 Moratorium Ordinance to prevent developments
that would significantly interfere with the upgrading of T.H. 12, it is not
the intent to prohibit development altogether. Development that would require
the construction, or reconstruction, of major utility services, or that would
have to be relocated when T.H. 12 is upgraded should be discouraged. However,
� development that will not interfere with the upgrading of T.H. 12 may be permitted
if such land use is deemed desirable for the City of Golden Valley.
Request for Building Permit-T.H. 12 Moratorium Area
� Page 2
Caoperative planning of this parcel and adJacent properties has been under way
• between the proponents and City Staff for some time. The site plan for this
development, with provision for adequate right-of-way for a service road, is
felt by the Staff to be reasonably well planned, and consistent with the
spirit and intent of �he Moratorium Ordinance.
The Moratorium Ordinance stipulates that all applications for development within
the T.H. 12 Area shall be referred to the Planning Commission. In turn,
the Planntng Commission is directed to make findings relative to the particular
application and report these findings to the City Council . Therefore, in
accordance with Section 17:02 of the Moratorium Ordiance, Restrictions on
the Granting of Permits and Applications, the staff recommends that the Planning
Commission make the foliowing determination: ,
1.) further detailed study of this development proposal is unnecessary
to determine the appropriate location for such a proposed use;
2.) it does not appear likely that the proposed land use at this particular
location within the T.H. 12 Area will be prohibited by provisions
of any proposed Zoning Ordinance or amended Comprehensive Plan
for the T.H. 12 area; and
3•) while the proposed land use wili require the development of a new
service road, provision of the necessary right-of-way will not
adversely affect the upgrading of T.H. 12 nor will the provision of
utilities to the site adversely affect the upgrading of T.H. 12.
• In addition, the proposed land use is consistent with the existing Comprehensive
Plan for the area.

Golden Valley, MN 55427
Dear Members of the Golden Valley Planning Commission:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to describe our plans for the development of
our property located at 6300 Wayzata Boulevard.
We would like to build a Thrifty Scot Motel on the property as per the plans given
to Mr. Mike Miller on October 31, 1979. There are 24 Thrifty Scot Motels located
in eight Upper Midwest States from Montana to Nebraska to Wisconsin. The home
- office for Thrifty Scot Motels is in St. Cloud, Minne�ta.
Thrifty Scot is strictly a motel operation with no facilities for food or beverage
• service. The name of Thrifty Scot has become synonymous with clean, quality built
motels in the motel industry. The plans for the proposed Thrifty Scot Motel adhere
to all of the Golden Valley requirements such as set-backs, parking spaces, etc.
We justify the building of the Thrifty Scot Motel under the present moratorium for
several reasons.
FIRST: It is our understanding that the two year moratorium for developing
property north of Wayzata Boulevard was put into effect last summer to prevent the
buildi�g of anything that would hinder the eventual upgrading of Wayzata Boulevard.
There was an obvious need for such a moratorium. It was also our understanding
that if a development does not conflict with the proposed upgrading of Wayzata
Boulevard, the development would stand on its own merits and not necessarily be
subject to the moratorium. Our developmnet of the Thrifty Scot Motel does not
conflict with the proposed upgrading of Wayzata Boulevard.
SECOND: The building of the proposed service road would result in a much better
traffic flow, reducing the congestion at the Florida Avenue, Wayzata Bouleva�� �i
intersec tion.
THIRD: We understand that the City of Gulden Valley will ask for participation by
the Min�sota State Highway Department in the building of the new service road.
Therefore, the cost of the new service road to the City of Golden Valley would be
greatly reduced.
�

Golden Valley Planning Commission
FOURTH: There will be a substantially greater tax base generated by the proposed
Thrifty Scot Motel compared to the taxes on the raw land that exists today.
These are our reasons for justifying the proposed Thrifty Scot Motel.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
_ �� —

T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: BACKGROUND REPORT - MIDDLE SCHOOL PROPERTY
In October of 1979� the City Council requested that the P.lanning Commission
make a study of the Middle School property and make a determination as to
future appropriate uses of the property. The City Council further requested
that the Planning Commission consider devetoping criteria for evaluating
potential land uses rather than specifying acceptable uses.
As a matter of background, the City Council had considered the possible
acquisition of the Golden Valley Middle School property from the Golden
Valley School District for use as a Senior Community Center. After many months
of deliberation, the City Council determined that the. city would not pursue
the acquisition of the Middle School property. However, the City Council did
reserve the right to consider possible acquisition and use of the indoor
swimming pool , auditorium and athletic fietd. The existing middle school
complex is a single building built in 1g63 with additions of a pool building
in 1g65, a science classroom in 1970 and an auditorium in 1g76.
� The original building consists of two classroom wings of 14,400 and 19,900
square feet. The wings are separated by two open courtyards with a library
unit approximately 3,720 square feet in area separating the courts. Each
classroom wing is joined at the north end by a wing containing 9,758 square
feet of inechanical equipment rooms, kitchen, cafeteria and lavatories. At
the south end, the classroom wings are joined by a wing containing 19,979
square feet of locker, shower rooms, gymnasium, storage rooms, offices, and
entrance area.
Attached to the southwest corner of the original building is the pool building
addition consisting of g,270 square feet. This addition houses a 37 x 75
foot pool , seating for 120 spectators, locker and lavatory facilities, and
mechanical equipment space.
Intersecting with the pool building and connected to the west wall of the
original building is the science classroom addition consisting of 2,704
square feet of area.
The auditorium addition, consisting of 8,812 square feet, is attached to the south
fac� of the original building. This facility has a seating capecity of
456 people.
Also included in this consideration is the structure- housing the Golden Valley
Senior High School which covers approximately 61 ,500 square feet. This building
is connected to the Middle School complex by means of an enclosed walkway.
All structures within the total complex are serviced by one heating plant
� located within the Senior High School building.
January 21 , 1980 Memo
• Page 2
The entire site, including all buildings, athletic fields, parking lots,
and open space encompasses some 42 acres of tand. With the exception of
the higher ground where the school buildings are located, most of the remaining
land area is within the Bassett Creek Flood Plain, and is subject to periodic
ftooding. Soil conditions throughout the lowland area are very poor. The
area containing the baseball diamond, south of the Middle School , has been
settling for some time. In addition, portions of the faotball field have
also been settling and are subject to periodic flooding. The most stable
soits within the entire site are found on the high ground where existing
buildings are located. '
Ottawa Avenue provides the onty access to the site from Glenwood Avenue on the
south and T.H. 55 on the north. This is a standard residential type street
which would present a limiting factor for any future land use that might be
a high traffic generator. �
° Determinat-�o�� of future appropriate land use for this area will have to take
into consideration the impact that such use will have on the adjacent
neighborhood. In order to properly evaluate potential land uses, I would suggest
the following criteria:
1 . Is the proposed land use compatible with the physical characteristics
• of the site?
A. Topography
B. Soils
C. Drainage
D. Open Space
E. Natural Environment
2. How is the proposed land use affected by existing public services?
A. Sewer (sanitary and storm)
B. Water Supply
C. Streets
D. Public Transportation °
E. Parks and Recreation
3• Impact on adjacent neighborhood
� A. Population Density
B. Traffic Flow

T0: GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNIPJG COMMISSION
FROM: MIKE MILLER, PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT COORDIP�ATOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Attached to this memo is a rough draft of a proposed amendment to
the. Golden Valley City Zoning Ordinance. This proposed amendment would
create a new zoning district aimed at warehouse - distribution type facilities.
Although our present Light Industrial Zoning District permits an office-
warehouse type of use, the ordinance is not specific in its limitations.
In addition, current parking requirements for a warehouse facility
generally result in the creatiori of a large impervious parking surface that
is not completely used, and leaves little area for open, landscaped area.
There is currently a great demand for this type of facility in Golden
Valley.
It is requested that the Planning Commission review this proposal and -
make comments on it at the �ext meeting on Monday, February 11 , 1g80.
