From: Martin Farrell
Subject: S�et Date for tnformal public hearing - PUD #29
ti
United Properties, proponent and owner of the subject property, are
requesting general plan approval for a Planned Unit Develapment.
This request has arisen because they would like to have Northwestern Bank
for their major tennant of the first floor of their building. This
� situation would create a multiple use on the site and therefore requires a
PUD Special Use Permit.
I suggest that the Planning Commission set the date for the informal
public hearing for August 25, 1980.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Martin Farrell
RE: Rezoning Goiden Valley Fire Station No.2
The fire department has' vacated the Golden Valtey Fire
Station No. 2. On July 23, 1979, the Planning Commission made
a number of recommendations to the City Council . If the Planning
Commission has deviated from these original recammendations, then
� , they would like another recommendation for the zoning of this
property. These recommendations are attached along with a memo
from the City Manager.
The City Council and staff would like to see the rezoning
procedure begin as soon as possible.

Civic Center,7800 Golden Valley Rd.,Golden Valley Minnesota,55427, (612) 545-3781 _�_
DATE: August 5, 1980
• T0: Chair Eastes and Members of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
The City of Golden Valley owns a parcel of property located on the northwest
corner of Lindsay and the Highway 100 frontage road. This property has been
used for over 30 years as a fire station. As a result of the approval by the
voters in June, 1978, of a bond issue, two new fire stations were constructed.
As a result of the availability of these two new fire stations, the City's need
for the station at ,Highway 100 and Lindsay has been eliminated. Therefore, the
City desi-res to sell this property.
On July 23, 1979, the Planning Commission reviewed this property and made a
recommendation that the property be utilized for residenti�al housing. Shortly
following the development of that recommendation by the Planning Commission,
the City entered into discussion with the cities of Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale,
New Hope and Crystal as to the feasibility of combining our Public Safety
dispatching operation. A study was conducted by the City's communication
_ consultant and the fire station site was found to be feasible for�use for a joint
center. This information was reviewed with the City Council , and the City
Council agreed to postpone any action on disposition of this property until
after a decision had been made as to its usefulness as a dispatch center for
the five communities. Subsequently, the five communities applied and received
law enforcement assistance administration funding to do a much more detailed
study as to the feasibility of combining the dispatching opera:ions of the five
cities. While the full report has not been completed, the section dealing
• with site selection has been reviewed with the five communities. After
reviewing all possible sites in the five communities, it was determined that
there are three othersites available which better suit the needs of a joint
dispatch center than the Golden Valley Fire Station site. The communities
are currently working on completing the study and a decision will be made
as to whether to proceed with a consolidation project involving the five
communities.
I have provided this information to the City Council and informed them that
the staff would recommend disposing of the property. I suggested to the
Council that the appropriate procedures for disposing of this property would
be first to determine the appropriate land use and then, following that
- determination, seek bids for the sale of the property.
I woutd even prefer if the property could be rezoned to a designated use
prior to seeking bids so that all bidders would be certain that the City
intended to accept bids for only one type of use. The City Council concurs
� with this approach.
1 would request that the Planning Commission review its earlier action
and initiate the appropriate steps for rezoning this property to a use to
be determined by the Planning Cammission and Council .

• 3• GOLDEN VALLEY FIRE STATION N0. 2
Request: Determtne Retaining the Structure and Consider Rezoning the Site.
Current Zoning is Institutional i-4 for City Use.
Location: 1001 North Lilac Drive
Status: The building and prope�ty currently function as a fire station
pending the available occupancy of, the Northeast and Southeast
f'rre stations under construction.
Once these newly constructed stations are functional , the site
in question will be abandoned, sold and possibly rezoned to
allow redevelopment of the site to occur.
Zoned: Institutional (I-4)
intent: On June 23, 1979 a site inspection was conducted to:
1) Determine the feaslbility of selling and retaining the
fire station structure to be adaptively used for an
alternative use (Light Industrial-Business/Professional
Office use) , and
2) Determine whether or not the site should be rezoned as
Residential and have the stat�on removed.
• Site Observations and Back round .
The lot size of the site is approximately 65,340 sq. ft. (1 .5 acres) and is situated
in an area primarily residential in character. The site currently has adequate
drainage provided.
The field inspection revealed the following structural information about the station:
n Building Materials: Block Walls
Bar Joice Ceiling in Garage
Interior: 3 Garage Stalls
3 Offices
Hallway
Kitchen (small)
8asement Under Office Area
The site's surrounding land uses include:
NORTH: Detached Single Family Units (Large Lots)
SOUTH: Lindsay Avenue (Local Street)
3 Double Bungalows (Under Construction)
• WEST: Single Family Units
EAST: North Lilac Drive (T.H. 100 Service Road)
T.H. 100 (Intermediate Arterial)

• Site Recommendations
�
1) The adopxed Comprehensive Plan for the City proposed this site to be devetoped
as Business oriented land use. However, the past actions and circumstances
surrounding the future use of the fire station and property to the South has
changed since the Comprehenstve Plan was adopted. Subsequently, it is the
opinion of the Planning Department that the site not be retained as an Instit-
utional Zoning District. Rather, it is suggested the property be redeveloped
and rezoned to a use which will conform to the site's surrounding land uses.
Possible options include:
Rezone Use
Residential Single Family (Low-Density)
Residential Single Family (Med-Density)
" The type of living unit would depend on teh permitted density. However, ,
a townhouse, double bungalow or detached single family design would be an
appropriate use of the land. The area could house a mixture of double units
and single family.
2) It is recommended that the extsting fire station structure not only be sold
but removed (demolished) based on the following factors:
� a) The architectural design of the station does not conform to the design
of the development occurring a�ound the site. The building has visual
impact for surrounding property owners.
b) The land and location of the site is more valuable to a developer than
the aged building which would require a substantial investment to adapt
and renovate.
3) In conjunction with efforts to rezone this site in question, the area to the
north should also be given some determination for future use. This conctusion
was based on the present condition of the area, age of housing stock (single
family) and a prime locational factor for a future alternative use or density
in the area.
4) If the Fire Station No. 2 site were developed residential , its use would conform
and blend with the adjacent land sues to the north, west and south.
5) If developed residential , it is suggested that proper screening, berming, land-
scaping and extended setbacks be required by a developer to protect the inhab-
itants f�om the heavy noise volumes and traffic flows gene�ated on T.H. 100.
6) A cul-de-sac �oad for the property could be designed to provide for future
division of Lots 2 and 3 Hipps Addition.
The Commission, in discussing the planning �eport and reviewing the surrounding land °
�
• use, felt the best use, of the property should be residential mid-density because of �
the single family atmosphe�e to the North, West and double units now. under construc-
tion to the South.
. � _ • 1.
Planning Commission
• July 23, 1979 Page 6
• It was moved by Edstrom, seconded by forster, carried unanimously to recortunend
that the structure be removed because of the age, condition and residential
atmosphere around the property.
It was then moved by Edstrom, seconded by Specktor, carried unanimously to
recommend that hte property be rezoned from Institutional I-4 to Residentiat .

T0: The City of Golden Valley
Planning Commission and/or City Council ,
It is my desire to construct a single-family houte on my lot which is
located at 1114 Wisconsin Avenue in Golden Valley.
I am having plans completed at this time for a structure that would comply
with the city codes and ordinances. I have discussed the size of the house,
setback, side yard, energy requirements, and �t�her pertinent regulations with
the Building Department of Golden Valley.
I was informed that my lot is in thP `'moritorium area" due to the future
plans for Highway 12. After checking with the Highway Department I was
informed by the Project Director, Mr. Pint, that my lot should be no prob-
lem because it is located about a bloek South of Highway 12 and of the proposed
frontage road. It is also approximately one-half bZock further South than
the recently constructed Thorpe Building.
You will find enclosed a Survey of my lot on Wisconsin Avenue and a letter
• from the Project Director, Mr. Pint.
I hope this inforn�ation ie�sufficient for you to consider my request at
this tiate for a permit to allaw me to construct a home on this lot as soon
as possible.
Very truly yours,
