T0: Golden Valley Planning Cort�nission
FROM: Martin Farretl , Assistant City Planner
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Review
' lmo Park Homes, Inc. is proposing to subdivide and plat 14 acres of land�
presently occupied by the Valley Village Apartments into two separate lots.�
The subject property is bounded on the north by the Chicago and Northwestern
�Railroad Tracks, on the east by open area zoned institutional , on the southJ
iby T.H. 55 and on the east by some commercial activity. J
The total site is just over 14 acres in area., The proposal requests that
this lot be subdivided into two lots. Lot 1 would be 7.9 acres�-{-3# , sq.
:j an� Lot 2 would be 6.2 acres��70;072 sq—Ft� . -
Currently, the Valley Village Apartments, a 108 unit comp ex , exist ory
� he subject property and have an existing density of 5,696 sq. ft. per un�
�The area is zoned Multiple Dwelling (M-1) and the ordinance requires 2,700 �
sq. ft. per unit. The proposed lot division would reduce the density on�
�Lot 1 to 3,188 sq. ft. per unit. This density would still be way above�
�wha�t is required in the zoning ordinance and should not create a problem.
� At the present time, staff is not aware o any proposals for use of the ,
�roposed Lot 2. ��The M-1 zoning would allow up to a two story multiple _
}dwe11 ing unit. A largg__�ortion of the easter�i section of the property is�
��below the flood plain and un er water. Therefore, part of the newly createdj
� lot would not be buildab.le and any development would be somewhat restricted.�
-- — —��
The ordinance also states that ' 'no buildings including accessory buildings
�hall occupy more than twenty 20) percent of the lot area." �-'�fii�s impl.ies
t�ha�-th-e-�bui ldable area on proposed Lot 2 would be approximate y 5 ,1 0 sq. .
ft. — — — — _ _.
After careful review of this preliminary plat, staff feels that this proposed
iplat is in conformance with the City Subdivision Platting Ordinance and
�the Zoning Ordinance. Staff feels that this is a reasonable request an�
�{��suggests that the Planning Commission approve the preliminary plat as �
�submitted. � �

• MEMO TO: MIKE MILLER, GOL�EN VALLEY PLANNER
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF GOLDEN VALLEY PLANPIED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
DATE: JANUARY 23, 1980
You asked us to follow up on our presentation to the
Golden Valley Planning Commission a month or two ago with a
memo outlining the nature and extent of the Golden Valley Planned
Unit Developnlent Ordinance which is contained in Chapter 15
of the Golden Valley Zoning Code. Our comments are contained
in the following paragraphs.
I. Introduction. "
Over the last decade or two planners and muniGipal
governments have recognized the need for flexibility in zoning
ordinances, particularly with respect to the traditional zoning
methods of regulating the density of population and bulk of
buildings by use of regulatior,s that are mutually exclusive.
The effect of such regulations is �o prohibit comnercial uses
in residential areas and to separate multiple dwelling districts
• from single residence areas. The rigid nature of preexisting
zoninc� laws did nbt provide for the many mixed and flexible
uses required in our modern society. Accordingly, there has
been a rethinking of the traditional approach to zoning.
One of the newest and most far reaching of the devices
designed to remedy many of these problems is the "planned unit
developrnent" technique. It is a process whereby a land developer
proposes a unitary development of land which incluc3es primarily
residential uses but mixes in limited commercial uses while
at the same time varying minimum lot sizes, setback requirements,
subdivision regu].ations and other traditional density control
provisions. The same technique may be used in planned industrial
and com;nercial districts. The main purpose of a "planned unit
development" technique is to avoid the rigidity of zoning and
subdivision regulations while at the same time preserving the �
overall plan of the community for density of population,
appropriate balance between various types of land uses, their
locations and the use of public thoroughfares and utilities.
Planned unit development regulation varies from
municipality to municipality and from area to area of the
country. The planned unit development law in Golden Valley
is established by the Golden Valley Zoning Code. A project
in Golden Valley must comply completely ��ith the part of the
. Golden Valley Code regulating PUD's before it can be treated
!
�t
• as one. The limits on the use and application of the Golden
Valley PUD regulations are the regulations themselves, the common
law and the constitutional law extant in Minnesota.
II. Planned Unit Development in Golden Valley.
The law -regulating PUD's in Golden Valley is contained
i'n Chapter 15 of the Golden Valley Zoning Code.
A. Purpose and Intent of the Ordinance. The purpose
and intent of the ordinance is contained in Section 15. 02.
It provides that the ordinance is to encourage the use of
contemporary land planning principles and coordinated community
design. Among other things, the PUD procedure is designed for
use where the area in which a development Aroject is located
is such that designation of a single-use zoning district and/or
application of standard zoning code reguirements may be too
rigid for practical application. Section 15. 02 goes on to
explain:
"It is the intent of this section (ordinan�e)
to provide a means to allow design flexibility
by substantial variances from the provisions
of the zoning code inclucling uses, setbacks,
height, and similar regulations, but not
. including parking requirements, off-street
loading, 'necessary screenina and the like. "
8. Rules and Definitions. The rules and definitions
for application of the Golden Valley PUD Ordinance are contained
in Section 15.03. The first portion of the definition of a
PUD in Golden Valley is divided into two parts: (1) all
developments having two or more principal uses or structures
on a single parcel of land, and (2) apartment projects involving
a multi-use structure, such as an apartment builc3ing with retail
at ground floor level, townhouses and similar projects.
The Golden Valley definition goes on to provide that
planned unit development shall also include two or more principal
use structures located on two or more lots either in single
or multiple ownership provided the combined area totals two
or nore acres and the plan subm�tted includes the entire area
to which the planned unit will apply. Thus, the focus of PUD's
in Golden Valley is that they must involve developments having
two or more principal uses on a single parcel of land or a multi-
use structure on a single �arcel. If a PUD involves two or
more lots in single or multiple ownership, it must include two
or more principal use structures, provided the combined area
totals two or more acres and the plan submitted includes the
entire area.

�
• In the final analysis, the PUD concept in Golden Valley
nay only be applied to projects which meet the definitions set
forth above. It is unlawful to apply the PUD Ordinance to any
other type of development without a change of the Golden Valley
Ordinance.
Note also that Section 15. 03 of the Golden Valley PUD
Ordinance provides that whenever a question arises concerning
the interpretation of the ordinance, " it shall be the duty of
the Planning Commission to ascertain all facts concerning said
question and forward all data and a recommendation to the City
Council for a determination. " The importance of this sentence
is that it requires the Planning Commission to forward any
questions concerning the interpretation of the PUD Ordinance
to the City Council for a determination--the Planning
Commission's role is not to determine c�uestions concerning the
interpretation of the ordinance, but rather to apply the
ordinance to existing fact situations. If the fact situations
do not fit within the oridinance, the matter may not be handled
as a PUD and must be handled in the traditional methods under
� the Zoning Code.
C. Standards and Criteria for Granting PUD Permits.
The standards and criteria for granting PUD permits are contained
in Section 15.05 of the Golden Valley Zoning Code. It generally
• provides standards and criteria for the City Council to consider
when granting PUD permits; however, the standards and criteria
are also those which ought to guide the Planning Commission
in its deliberations whether to recommend approval or disapproval
of a particular application of the Code.
In addition to the usual health, safety, morals and
general welfare considerations required for approval of a PUD
permit, Section 15. 05 establishes a standard that the proposed
use "is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this
' Ordinance. . . . " Assuming that the definitions referred to earlier
have been met, the section goes on to provide:
"PUD permits may therefore be used to either
(a) "permit some variety of uses within
transitional areas which will blend well with
surrounding uses; or (b) provide a means of
flexibility in design and construction in such
transitional areas or (c) provide maximum public
control over the eventual development of such
transitional areas; or (d) achieve a combination
of the foregoing objectives. "
The balance of Section 15. 05 of the Zoning Code provides specific
standards for residential and transitional areas. Those
� stanc7ards are applicable to a particular project only after
-3-
.�
�
ithe definition of a PUD has been met. If the definition is
not met, the project does not rise to the level of a PUD and
must be handled under the other portions of the Zoning Code.
III. Other Legal Limitations.
A. (�Ihat Zoning Cannot Do. Zaning regulation is an
important tool in guiding development by private individuals
and organizations within a municipality so that the land will
be utilized for its best use. It is a means of providing
adequate space for each tyge of use and preventing congestion,
all to further the health, safety and general welfare of the
public. A planned unit development, similarly, fits into the
general scheme of zoning by providing for mixed uses on the
same parcel or multi-structures on the same parcel in accord
with the definitions discussed above.
However, zoning or a PUL ordinance may not be used
to accom�lish illegal or undesirable objectives such as: forcing
undesirable uses out of a community, accomplishing �racial
segregation, accomplishing esthetic control or obtaining park
or other lands for the city where a developer would not otherwise
be required to make such a donation. There are other unlawful
uses of zoning. Generally speaking , an unlawful use of zoning,
including application of a PUD ordinance, would be to obtain
� an otherwise unlawful end by the use of it, which is not related
to the general health, safety and welfare of the public.
B. Potential Hazards in the Use of PUDs. The line
of Minnesota Supreme Court cases culminating in Cracraft v.
City of St. Louis Park, Minn. , No. 101, April 27,
1979, distinguish between a "special duty" and a "public duty".
They hold that a municipality is liable for the special duties
it owes particular persons or classes of persons, but is not
liable for a breach of a duty owed to the public in general.
As you remember, Cracraft involved a fire inspector's failure
� to observe a hazardous drum of duplicating fluid vahich exploded
a couple of weeks after the inspection and caused the deaths
of two boys and severely injured a third. The drum of
duplicating fluid was on a loading dock of Benild High School
adjacent to the football field. The Court held that the failure
of the fire inspector to observe the dangerous drum of
duplicating fluid and require its removal did not subject the
municipality to liability for the deaths and injury to the youth
because the city's duty to inspect is a duty owed to the public
in general--not anyone in particular.
The Minnesota decisions culminating in the Cracraft
decision are important to us because they do indicate that
municipalities are liable for a breach of "special duties. "
� Special duties are duties which are owed to particular persons
-4-
d
� or classes of persons. Does the application and use of a PUD
permit with its intricate requirements of spacing, population,
building construction standards, etc. , create a special duty
with respect to those persons occupying or using the structures
which are subject to the PUD permit? We think not; but it is
an open question and could cause a municipality a lot of trouble
in the future. Accordingly, we have advised the city to limit
its use of FUD permits to those matters specifically requiring
them and to refrain from becoming too involved in the specific
construction and other details of any given project. We also
think that the potential liability for creating a special duty
is such that a city would be well advised to refrain from an
overuse of the PUD zoning technique. Note that other zoning
methocls do not involve the intricate c7etail of a PUD and, hence,
do not give rise to the possibility of the creation of a special
duty.
Perhaps an analogy would assist you in understanding
the special duty-public cluty distinction. One has no legal
duty to take the role of the "good samaritan" and save someone
drowning in a river. However, once a person undertakes the
_ duty of attempting to save a person drowning, he is obligated
to exercise due care in his efforts and will be held strictly
accountable under the common law rules of negligence if he fails
� �o do so. This situation is similar to that of a PUD permit.
If one undertakes to agply a PUD permit to circumstances where
� it is questionable that one ought to be applied, and the
application of the PLTD regulation becomes quite detailed, it
is possible that a s�ecial duty is created to those persons
the detail is designed to protect or serve, and the city is
charged with a special duty as a result thereof.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Martin Farrelt , Assistant City Planner
SUBJECT: Pondwood Office Park - P.U.D. 28, General Plan Approval
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The William S. Peterson Architectural Firm is requesting general plan approval
at a proposed Planned Unit Development on a parcel of land 3.71 acres in
, �area. The property is located at 5000 Olson Memorial Highway. 1
� -
The;proposed project calls for the development of three office buildings on
t eh easterly portion of the property. Two of the buildings are 3,96o sq. ft��
each and the third building (closest to T.H. 55) is 2,970 sq. ft. This �
�omprises a-�o�a1—�10,890 square feet of building on the site. This , "'
�, would produce a density of 6.7% of the entire lot that would be used as a
building area.,_ Approximately 44i (71 ,600 sq. ft. ) of the lot will remain
as ponding area and 56% of the lot will be land areaJ�Thus, the density o�
building area to available land area would be 12%. —
� The ubject property is zoned Business and Professional Offices and the propose
use would be consistent with the zoning. �The properties adjacent to the (^"
��subject property on both the east and west sides are also zoned Business �
�and Professional Offices. The proposed use would be compatibte with the 7
�� surrounding land uses. The Comprehensive Plan calls for limited busine�l
�� on this site and again the proposed use would not be inconsistentJ—
Traffic access to the site would be atong the service road and out onto T.H.
� 55. ��P e-i s a 0 exi st gn ea-sement a-fiong t se out s i e o . . 5:j The �
�jordinance requires one parking space for every . . o ��ice j —
ispace and in this case, 73 parking spaces will be required. Provision o 9 �

The proponent has agreed to mount a wall hydrant on the center building,
facing the parking lot. This should provide for adequate water access
and f i re safety.
The'�site does offer some potential drawbacks_�he soils in this area are
ttivery poor quality and generally not conducive to intense development. Soi �

` of pi 1 i ng wi 11 be requi red. , � — — — ----
� It should be noted that the Planning Commission has previously recommended ta�'
,�the City Council in their report on Privately Owned Open Space Sites that thisl
property be maintained as open space. The following was taken from the Planni�g
� Merr� - Page 2
Pondwood Office Park - P.U.D. ?8, General Plan Approval
April 21 , 1980
� C�ission's Report
RECOMMENDATION: Since most of this site is located within a
flood plain, and it is known that the site has poor, wet soils,
attempts at development should be discouraged. The City
Council may wish to consider public acquisition of this property
at some time in the future.
The Park and Recreation Department , in their Inventory Report �depicts the
-ropose evelopment area as roi �ows : —
Natural Features: Marah, bottomland, cottonwood, willaw, boxelder,
wetland, recharge area, aquatic habitat, nesting site, feeding
area, cover and protection.
Condition: No major problems
Potential for Management: Retain as "Open. S�ac�
Open Space Value: High
� It should also be noted that the proponent plans on dedicating over 50% of the�
�� total site as a drainage and flowage easement. «The Engineering Department C=.�
� has suggested that this line conform more closely to 838 contour line. Therefore,j
�`the ponding area will remain relatively unaltered and conti.nue its role as�f
� a storm water holding pond.� —
RECOMMENDATION
f 7he proposed development appears to have met all of the major requi.rements of �—.�
� the P.U.D. - General Plan of Development �ection of the Zoning Ordinance. The �
` prop�roject is consis ent with both the existing zoning and t e ompre-
jhensive Plan. The development would also be compatible with the surrounding �
'� 11_�ses, — — — — — — — — — '
---�
�The proposed {�roject does deviate somewhat from the recommendations by 6oth `
the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Department to keep thi�
'area as open land. However, given the fact that the ponding area will �
�remain as a storm water ponding area and over 50% of the total site wilt b
� dedicated to the City, staff feels that this project would be a reasonable "�,
� use. ,;Therefore, staff suggests that the Planning Commission give favorable���
� consideration to this request for general plan approval .

To: Mike Miller, Planning � Redevelopment Coordinator
From: Lloyd Becker, Supervisor of Zoning � Inspections
Re: P.U.D. #28 - Pondwood
Plot Plan: The plot plan shows three buildings on one parcel of land,
Whi�e the P.U.D. Ordinance will allow this, it appears the intent of this
proposal is office condominiums. if this is the case, the question should
be addressed if the parcel is subdivided or condo'd later.
Parking: Parking conforms to the Zoning Code for B � P0.
Soil : Soil is bad and special consideration for construction of the build-
ings and all utilities to and within the site and between the structure.
Fire Protection: Recommend coordination with Public Safety for hydrant
locations and fire protection requirements. Suggest complete fire separa-
tion to roof between units.
�
Landscape: A bond sufficient for all landscape, blacktop, curbs, etc.
shall be required in amounts per value of that partion of construction.
Al1 parking lots and driveways to be by approved engineer, design of same
related to soil conditions on the site.
Construction: All construction to be per Minnesota State Building Code
and all parts applicable therein, including Energy Code.

T0: Mike Mi11er, Planning Coordinator
FROM: George Erickson, Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: P.U.D. �o. 28 Pondwood
As per your request, I have reviewed the plans for the Pondwood
Project and, after discussing the soil problem with Engineering,
we have agreed to allow a six inch line for water supply and mount
a wall hydrant on the center building, facing the parking lot.
� This would allow the Fire �epartment a hookup in the center of
the project. A fire lane of twenty feet is requested in direct
line with the wall hydrant, to allow fire equipment access to the
wall hydrant.
I have no other comments at this time.
