. A REPORT TO THE GOLDEN VALLEY CITY COUNCIL �
*
� PRIVATELY OWNED�OPEN SPACE SITES ��,�, '�������
WITHIN �
THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY
by
THE GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
Pursuant to a request by the Golden Valley City Council , the Planning Commission
has reviewed and evaluated certain selected, privately owned, open space sites
within the Community with respect to the continued or future use of such sites.
The sites reviewed and evaluated for this report were taken from the report,
entitled Open Spaces in Golden Valley, prepared by the Environmental Collaborative
as an inventory of the City's private and public open space lands. The City
Council, upon receiving the consultant's report, requested the Planning Commission
to review and evaluate several of the open space sites delineated in the report.
At the Council 's request, the review and evaluation was to have included the
following:
1 . On-site inspection of the selected sites;
2. Recortmendations on land utilization for the open space sites;
.� 3• Preparation cf a list of advantages and disadvantages, from a
land use perspective, of preserving these land areas as protection,
conservation and/or amenity open spaces; and
4. Make suggestions for augmenting the Comprehensive Plan to reflect
� any decisions the Council will be making regarding protection,
conservation, and/or amenity open spaces.
Based on the above City Council directive, the Planni.ng Commission proceeded
to tour the specific sites both as a group, and indivfdually. Following a field
inspection of each site, the staff prepared a "Background and Malysis" report
on the privately owned open space sites to provide the Planning Commission
with more detailed information, and to formulate a basis for discussion. The
staff report also included aerial photogrpahs of each site.
Realizing that little undeveloped land remains in Golden Valley, and that there
is a demand for land to develop, the Planning Cor�unission acknowledges the
significance of adequate open space in a densely developed Community. While it
would be impractical, and contrary to sound planning practices� to retain all
�emaining undeveloped land as open space, the Ptanning Commission feels that
every effort should be made to attain a reasonable balance between development
pressure and �open space needs.
After careful consideration, the Planning Commission r�spectfully submits the
following �eport to the City Council.
PARCEL /�2
This open space area is situated in the Northwest quadrant of the City.
The site happens to be located in the area of the City having the highest
. elevation. It is characterized by steep slopes, ponds, large vegetative
stands and prairie land. Presently, the slte provi.des City residents with
trails, and a pleasant visual amenity since no walts or fences are in
place to secure the property from trespassers.

RECOMMENDATION: Future land use decisions relative to this large tract of land
will have a very significant impact on the stability and quality of the surround-
ing neighborhoods. The owner of this parcel , General Mills, Inc. , had indicated
to the Planning Commissi.on that they have no ir�nediate plans to further develop
this property.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that:
A. General Mills, Inc. continue to maintain the current open
• space status of the northern portion of Parcel #2.
B. With respect to long-range planning considerations, the
City Council should request that General Mills, Inc. pre-
pare a Master Plan for the development of this property,
submitting such plan to the City for review and comment as
well as for inclusion in the City's long-range comprehensive
planning strategy. .
PARCEL #3
Lying within the southwest quadrant of the City this site affords to the
Community a very attractive open space. Presently, no security practices
have been implemented by the owner and no immediate plans to develop the
site have been indicated by the owner. Again, as in the case with Parcel
#2, a trail runs through the property adjacent to the Bassett Creek
corridor.

RECOMMENDATION: The area along Bassett Creek has a very high value as a passive
natural area. In view of the present stewardship of the land, it is felt that
public acquisition would be unnecessary. However, the Planning Commission does
strongly recommend that this property be included in a long-range Master Plan
by General Mills, Inc. along with Parcel #2.

RECOMMENDATION: General Mills, Inc. has again fndicated that for the time being
it intends to retain this site as a passive natural area. As with the previous
two sites, the Planning Commission does not feel the need for public acquisition.
However, when considering the possible future development of this site, it be-
corr�s even more tmperative that the City Council request the development of a
Master Plan by General Mills, Inc. in order to better judge future land use
impact.
PARC-- E�#'6 .
Lyi�g east of Wtnnetke Avenue and South of the Valle D'or townhouse
development, this site is tocated between deditated land to the north and
City owned land to the south. The area has the potential to serve the 8rook-

low terra�n and isol�ted ponds.

RECOMMENDATION: Due to pending litigation between the City and the owner

at this time. However, future acquisition of this property should be con-
sidered by the Cfty. Future use of this site should be for passive, natural
open space with an intensive management program aimed at treatment or removal
of diseased or insec.t infested vegetation, and.:eventual_.development of a trail
leading from Harold Avenue through to Winnetka Avenue. In addition, special
care should be given to the protection and, if necessary, improvement of the

Lying in the south central section of the City, this property is presentl
utilized as a drainage area along the Minneapolis, Northffled � Southern y

facts:
1) . Property supports various species of fowl and wildlife
(Pond/Nesting) .
2) . Property will undoubtedly remain open space for drainage
purposes and its poor soil suitability for development.

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 devetopment should
be discouraged. The City Council may wish to consider public acquisition of
this property at some time in the future.
PARCEL �113
Located in the east cent�al sector of the City, this tract of open space
is held under multiple ownership. 'the site is critically impo�tant to
the sur�ounding tand use since it shares with Sweeney Lake the responsibility
of storing the urban �unoff in the area. The terrain is law and wet and

RECOMMENDATION: Since multiple ownership�and severe soil and drainange problems
limit development opportunities within this site, a more practical use would be
retention of the property as open space. Developing part of the site for an
� inundation area to cotlect storm water drainage from the south is also recom-
mended.

RECOMMENDATION: The prime concern of Parcel #14 is that portion owned by Golden
Vailey Health Center. To retain this property as passive, natural , open space
would be preferable. If there were assurances that Golden Valley Health Center
would not sell or develop the property and would retain it in it natural state,
public acquisition would not be necessary. A hiking trail through the area
should be provided. It is also the recommendation of the Planning Commission
that the Open Space and Recreation Commission conduct a feasibility study on
the installation of a trail system through the entire parce1 . Also, this parcet
should be maintained as a passive, natural open space.

THE GOLDEN VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
Pursuant to a request by the Golden Valley City Council , the Planning Commission
has revtewed and evaluated certain selected

The sites reviewed and evaluated for this report were taken from the report,
entitled Open Spaces in Golden Valley, prepared by the Environmental Collaborative

At the Council 's request, the review and evaluation was to have included the
foliowing:

following report to the City Council.
PARCEL �{2
This open space area is sftuated fn the Northwest quadrant of the City.
The site happens to be located in the area of the City having the highest
elevation. it is characterized by steep slopes, ponds, )arge vegetative
• stands and prairie land. Presentiy, the site provides City residents with
trails, and a pleasant visual amenity since no walls or fences are in
place to secure the property from trespassers.

RECOMMfNDATION: Future land use decisions �elative to this large tract of land
will have a very significant impact on the stabitity and quality of the surround-
ing neighborhoods. The owner of this parcel , General Mills, Inc. , had i�dicated
to the Planning Commission that they have no irtunediate plans to further develop
this property.
It is the recommendation of the Planni�g Commission that: � �'
• ��-
A. The City Co ncil enc rage Ge ral Mills, k nc. to cantinue to `+ �`� �
allow the us of the n rthern p rtion of th�'s parcel�,,for open
space purpose ; � `
B. With respect to long-range planning considerations, the City Council
should request that General Mills, Inc. prepare a Master Plan for
the development of this property, submitting such plan to the City
for review and comment as well as for inclusion in the City's long-
range comprehensive planning strategy.
PARCEL #3
Lying within the southwest quadrant of the City this site affords to the
Community a very attractive open space. Presently���security practices �(/
have been implemented by the owner and no fu�tur�"p�ans to develop the site��
have been tndicated by the owner. Again, as is the case with Pa�cel #`2,
a trail runs through the property adjacent to the Bassett Creek corridor.

RECOMMENDATION: The area�1ong Bassett Creek has a very high value as a passive�
natural area. In view of the present stewardship of the land, it is felt that
public acquisition would be unnecessary. However, the Planning Commission does
strongly recommend that this property be included in a long-range Master Plan
by General Mills, Inc. along with Parcel Number 2.

considering the possible future development of this site, it becomes even more
imperative that the City Council request the development of a Master Plan by
General Mills, Inc. in order to better judge future land use impact.

or removal of diseased or insect infested vegetation, and eventual development
of a trail leading from Harold Avenue through to Winnetka Avenue. In addition,

I. INTRODUCTION (Map 1)
f� • The quality of community living is often measured in terms of the number,
distribution, type and effectiveness of urban services and facilities
that are provided. No community can be a truly attractive place to reside
in unless it contains these essential elements which are well designed and
� well maintained. Basically, "Community Facilities" include those public
I and semi-public owned lands and structures such as parks, playgrounds,
governmental office buildings, libraries, schools, colleges, police and
� fire protection services, public utilities, and the like. Semi-public
; (sometimes referred to as quasi-public) facilities include churches,
' parochial schools, country clubs, lodges, medical services, and similar �
, facilities which are used by relatively large numbers of people but are
not necessarily open for use to the general public or owned by govern-
mental agencies or political units.
� Proper and appropriate services and facilities at a reasonable per
', capita cost are essential to the physical, social, economic, moral �
and cultural well-being of the community. �
i
, The main purpose of this report is to review existing needs and the
� foreseeable needs of the community in terms of public services and facil-
; ities and to reco�end certain solutions or alternatives which should be
� considered in alleviating potential problems or deficiencies. Therefore, !
this plan is not intended nor concerned with the detailed schemes of
development, operation, or programs of the various community facilities as
Ii � such; rather, it is offered, cognizant of the sta*ed plans and objectives
of the present community planning bodies, to serv:e as an overall guide
' within which the detailed plans and specific decisions can be made.
�
I The City of Golden Valley has been in existence since well before the
' turn of the century, but it has been only within the last few decades ;
' , that it has developed to the point of assuming an urban or suburban char- �
acter. During these formative years, the nature of most community facil- '
; ities provided was generally the direct response to the needs and type of
; development of the times. Now that the coIInnunity is in the urban stage
! of full development, it is imperative that immediate steps be taken to
j protect those parcels judged essential for future community facilities
, which will be demanded by the citizens in future years. Of even greater �
significance perhaps, is that positive long range goals and policies
, be first formulated relative to facilities.

III. DATA SIJNIMARY
• A. CIVIC CENTER '
The "Civic Center" complex at Winnetka. Avenue and Golden Valley Road
is the historical center and still serv�� as the present day focal
point of the co�unity and is functionally suited to serve as the
chief administrative and public service oriented center of the City.
The site appears capable of ineeting most all of the spatial require-
ments considered necessary fAr efficiently maintaining the needs of
the community. The county library building has been added to the
expanded site, replacing the City's more limited facility that was �
situated in the basement of the City Hall.
This 12-acre complex has now been in existence for a number of years
and contains most of the municipal buildings::within the o.ne site.
While this is an approved and worthy concept for most communities and
has functioned weTl in Golden Valley, the present status should not
be looked at as being the final functional solution. A good civic
center should do more than 3ust provide a site for a group of public
buildings. .Building design and arrangement, functional grouping,
the location of specfic activities and departments within each,
expansion considerations, landscaping features, intelligent use
of lighting, adquate and convenient parking and storage areas,
efficient ingress and engress situations, etc. , all enter into
assessing a civic center's attractiveness and usefulness. Aow the `
center relates to ad3acent and nearby land uses and transporation
• routes is another important consideration.
B. PUBLIC SAFETY
;
The public safety functions of the community are headquartered in the I
Public Safety Building located on the Civic Center site. The site
of the Public Safety Building itself presents problems of access
because of the fact that emergency vehicles may only exit or enter to
the south of the building site. ',
Planned roadway construction to the north will rectify accessibility
problems. ;
;,
-3-
�
,
�
�
i
,
_ ___- -- _ , � �
I � . . .
' The Public Safety Building at the present time requires some
I remodeling. This remodeling would include the removal of architec-
tural barriers and interior reconstruction to ma.ke full use of the
i � existing space.
j C. FIRE STATIONS
;
� The City currentely has 3 functional fire stations capable of serving
� the entire citizenry and business community in the City. '
� �
iCENTRAL (Fire Station No. 1): Located at the Civic Center ;
� Complex site in the Public 'i
Safety Building (7800 Golden ;
� Valley Road). �
i
! NORTHEAST (Fire Station No. 2): This newly constructed station �
j is located at Golden Valley
� Road and Bonnie Lane.
i
SOUTHEAST (Fire Station No. 3): This newly constructed station
is located at the corner of
iTurner's Crossroad and Laurel
i Avenue.
i
� D. PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES
I
The Street Department's vehicles are assessed to be adequate '
for the proper level of Golden Valley's local street system. The Public �
, Works Building appears to be of sufficient size for performing its desig- �
i • nated task. Some of the functions on the Civic Center site, such as
� storage of materials and preparation of ma.terials would be better located
iin an industrial area. �
I
The City, aware of the poor bulk storage site presently used, has
chosen to relocate the use to a site lying between lOth Avenue North ,
� and Minnesota Western Railroad just east of County Road 18 (Mendelssohn
; Service Road) . The acquisition and development of this site as a public
I storage use will provide the required space and accessibility to store,
', load and transport such...bulk commodities as gravel, sand, salt, etc.
� In addition, the new site will ha�e t.he required �and use conformity with
� the surrounding uses - unlike the present location.
I
� E. HOSPITAL FACILITIES
I Golden Valley Health Center is located on a site in conjunction �
with other medical institutions, including the Minnesota Society of
i Crippled Children and Adults (MISCCA) and the Minneapolis Clini� of
i Psychiatry.
i
j The site is located in the eastern wooded hill area between
Theodore Wirth Park and the Sweeney-Twin Lakes chain. The other hospitals
� in the area which directly serve the needs of the residents are North
Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale and Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park.
I �

I
i
� -- �--- -- -
F. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
• The City is currently situated within two independent school districts.
� These districts include Hopkins (��274) and Robbinsdale (��281), which
places the City's corporate limits within a fragmented school district
' arrangement. Robbinsdale is the largest of the two districts.
�
As in most other suburban situations, school enrollment trends in
recent years generally reflect the fact that the "boom" years, charact- '
j eristic of the 1950's and 1960`s are passing. It would appear that the
present numher and distribution of facilities is sufficient to satisfy ,
the forseeable demands.
I Bus transportation is provided by all of the school districts and is
utilized quite extensively according to set distance standards and
practicality. The fragmented character of the community, due to
j past development decisions and transportation networks, have con-
� tributed to the present school district arrangement.
i
Local municipalities must continue to play an important role in
j determining the future use of school facilities which a.xe nn. �:�nger
� required by school districts. For instance, closed and abandoned
schools have an adaptable potential of becoming a valuable structure '
in which to conduct various community-wide activities or other ,
� private uses.
! The Community's private and parochial schools account for a pro-
; � portion of the Community's and area-wide school attendance figures.

� IV. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
� � FINDING 4�1. The present Civic Center Complex site is the administrative
and major public service deliver center for the entire Citv.
� -
i Recommendations
�
' The area nearest the library should be extensively treated to retain
� the more quiet nature of the area in conjunction with Bassett Creek.
Ideally, this northern portion should become an attractive entrance
; to the complex from the residential sectors to the north for primarily
, pedestrian travel with vehicular access discouraged except to emergency ,
; access. It is suggested that this general area become a terminus for
� one or more of the "urban trail" systems. �
�
I '
I The present Recycling Center building should be relocated and re-built �
� in order that the public is provided with a visible and architecturally
� and aesthetically compatible building which conforms to the design and
� materials used for the other Civic Center facilities. �
i
I Site improvements and landscaping treatment would definitely enhance '
� the appearance of the complex by adding to the aesthet�ics of the struc-
� ture. '
i
,
� FINDING 4�2. All City buildings should have all architectural barriers �
� removed for handicapped access.
� Recommendation
i •
' The City should appropriate funds available through the Community �
�' Development Block Grant Program for tlie purpose of providing handi-
icapped and/or incapacitated individuals with free access to the '
Police and Fire Departments. �
i
i
i� FINDINGS 4�3. The Cit will continue to witness school closings and i
the abandonment of quasi-uublic buildings whose functions are no ,
' longer desired.
IRecommendations
;
The City should pursue efforts to determine the feasibility and practical �
� adaptability of a closed building for other purposes.
�
� The City should consider the possibility of rezoning abandoned public '
� and semi-public buildings to accomodate future land use conformity. '
� i
� FINDING ��4. The City of Golden Valle has achieved nearl com lete
development. ;
j Reommendations
Further expansion of the City's facilities should co�mnerce without �
� feasibility studies.

' The City of Golden Valley is located totally within the Twin
Cities delineated "Urban Service Area" which encompasses the exist-
ing mass including Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the ma3ority
of the surrounding built-up suburban municipalities. Golden Valley
is further defined as a "Fully Developed Area", meaning the City has
reached that stage of urban development where growth management be-
comes a matter of urban revitalization and/or preservation. Typically,
a municipality assigned a "Fully Developed" statue �as either attained
or is approaching a mature, saturated state of urban development.
At the present time, the City is served entirely by the local
and metropolitan sewer system network. These local sewers and metro-
� politan interceptors in Golden Valley are part of the Metropolitan
� Waste Control Commissions (MWCC) "Sewer Service District No. 2". All
sewage flow generated within this District receives treatment at the
Metropolitan Waste Water Treatment Plant at Pig's Eye Lake along the
Mississippi River south of Saiat Paul.
�
Since the City's existing sewer (sanitary and storm) systems
adequately serves its local citizenry, industry and commercial
businesses, the intent of this report will be to analqze the system
and provide direction to maintain the sewer network and protect the
general public from adverse sewer system impacts.

A. SANITARY SEWER
i �
; OVERVIEW: (MAP I)
I
� During the late 1950's and early 1960's the City of Golden Valley
began to construct its present sanitary sewer system. Between 1957
and 1965 approximately 70% of the sewers now in use were laid.
. Before municipal sewer was available, residents used individual
on-site sewage disposal systems.
;
, As the City began to mature and develop into a built-up urban
� community, local sanitary sewer service was provided on demand.
' New developments were provided with sewer laterals and extension
service from the existing trunk lines. After 1965, service was
i provided to scattered sites and to site developments throughout
1 � the City.
; EXISTING SYSTEM:
i
� Today the City is almost completely served by local and metropolitan
� sewer facilities. These facilities include a variety of functions,
� sizes, and materials. The relative size of a sewer pipe usually
I indicates the function and flow capacity of the sewer. The material
i from which the pipe is constructed depends on the use and soil
conditions for which the pipe is designed.
i � Table I describes the types, sizes and functions of sewer found
, in Golden Valley.

� Currently, four Metropolitan interceptor facilities lie within the
i corporate City limits of Golden Valley. Of these, only two are
' available to carry sewage flow generated in the City. The inter-
� • ceptors which serve Golden Valle res�dents, industry and business
community are described below.
' 1-GV-460: This facility is a 27"-42" gravity flow reinforced concrete
; (MAP II) pipe system which was constructed in 1957. It begins at
Ithe south boundary of New Hope at Medicine Lake Road and
; Rhode Island Avenue and runs south and easterly to the
connection with the Minneapolis In terceptor (1 MN-320)
� in the vicinity of T.H. 55 and Rerxes Avenue. As a
� gravity operated sewer this line is placed at the lowest
i level in the area. This low level coincides with Bassett
Creek along much of the sewer line's extent.
' Special Con sideration:
i
�' A new forcemain interceptor was constructed to relieve the
1-GV-460 from New Hope flow. No longer will New Aope sewage
flow utilize the 1-GV-460 interceptor unless the new force-
; ma.in breaks. An emergency valve has been placed on the
i 1-GV-460 inlet with the City of Golden Valley in full control '
i of its use. The MWCC entered into an understanding with the �
', City as to when and to what extent the valve could be used
' to allow New Hope flow to enter the system. It was decided
� that only a forcemain break 3ustifies the opening of the
i emergency valve.
i �
i 1-GV-461: This facility is a 30"-36" gravity flow interceptor with
� (MAP II) circular reinforced concrete pipe. It extends from St.
Louis Park boundary at Douglas Ave. and Ortler Pass, northboun3
� to T.H. 55 at Sunnyridge and continues easterly along T.H. 55
I until it connects with the 42" RCP Minneapolis Interceptor
(1-MN-320) .
I This facility provides Metropolitan waste-water disposal
� service fox St. Louis Park and the southeastern quadrant '
� of Golden Valley.
I Those Metropolitan interceptor sewers located in Golden Valley but serving
� the City's surrounding municipalities include:
i
� MSB-71-04: This facility providing Metropolitan interceptor sewer service
'� (MAP II) for New Hope consists of a sewage pumping station at the south
� City limits of New Hope and a 24" diameter forcemain sewer line
' which runs south along Rhode Island Avenue in Golden Valley
� then east along 23rd Avenue until it reaches Pennsylvania Avenue
' where it runs south again until it joins the Plymouth forcemain
; interceptor (1-PM-468) on T.H. 55.

i 1-PM-468s This facility is the longest and largest Metropolitan
i (MAP II, intercepto� in Golden Va11ey. Golden Valley, however,
does rfot utilize it. It is a 30�� cast iron pipe forcemain '
runn�ng easte�ly along T.H. 55 approximately 25,000 feet in '
tength. It term3nates at the Minneapolis Interceptor
' (1-MN-320) at Olson Memorial Nighway and Dupont Avenue North.
i
� • This facility provides Metropolitan interceptor disposat .
� sewe� service for Medicine Lake, Plymouth and New Hope.
i
In surtmary, Golden Valley�s present interceptor sewe� system is of an adeouate
j - design capacity to provide efficient sewer service for the City�s projected
" p�pulatio�. Although they are of an adequate size, they will require periodic
; inspections to determine tfieir functional capabilities.
� ''
i The r�naining sanitary sewers in the City include t�unks, laterals and service
� li�es which strictly serve the 1oca1 citizenry and businesses.
� All of the sewage flow entering the public sewer network is ultimately t�eated
' • at the Metropolitan Waste Water T�eatme�t Plant (MWWTP) at Pigs Eye Lake,
south of Saint Paul along the banks of the Mi.ssissippi River. The Plant offers
; primary and secondary treatment to sewage before the t�eated effluent is re-
� leased and discharged into the ��iver. Approximately 98;6 of the pollutants in
' _ the sewage is effectively �emoved at the Plant.

� FUTURE PROJfCTIONSs (TABLE 2)
�' In 1977, the design capacity of the MWWTP was estimated at 218 million gallons
� per day (Mgdj. This capacity will be inc�eased to 290 Mgd by 1980 due to the
MWWTP expansion. P�esently, the Plant serves a sewered population of 1.5
� million in ��Sewer Service Uistricts 1, 2 �nd ti. �
i
I! Locally, it was estimated that the City generates a total average daily sewage La
flow of 3.4 Mgd oased on MnCC data (19711• By 1990 this flaw is fo�ecasted i
� to �each 3.72 Mgd or an increase of 32�,000 gallons over a 10-year period. �
!' This 1990 p�oject�on is based on an anticipated ind�st�ial flow of 1.74 Mg�
i and a sewered populat3on of 23�SOC.
� I
!
Golden Va1ley�s presant local sewer system would appear to have the adequate
� capacity to handle future flow projectio�s. This is based on forecaste� and '
ptanned o�ban growth patterns expected within the next 10-20 years. However,
' sewer imp�ovement�.measdfes may be requi�ed in orde� that the ex4sting system
�emains sound. The system must be maintained to ensure safe and efficient
, collection and t�ansportation of local sewage.

IThe above pro�ections were developed by the Metropolitan Wast� Control
Commission (MWCC) and stated in the 208 Areawide Plan/Development Guide �
on Water Qualit Management Report prepared by the Metropolitan Council
� " (adopted March 9, 1979).
I '
Since nearly all MWCC forecasts are found to be highly dependent on the I
population of a local municipality, it is imperative these figures undergo �
' periodic revisions based on the changing demographic character of a
community.
� In Golden Valley, current and pro�ected residential development trends may '
i eventually disprove present population forecasts. Rather than predicting a
decrease in population from 1980-2000 the City may well retain a stable '
' populace or possible increase. This assumptions is based on 5 primary �
factors which will become the ma3or determinate in future population
� projections. i
i 1) Development (residential) occuring on lands presently
vacant. -7
2) The need to provide an increased number of mid-to-high '
density multi-family complex developments in the near
future.
i �
j 3) In-migration of families into Golden Valley to take ad- '
i� vantage of the City's relatively close proximity to the ,
Metropolitan Centers. (Locational factors) ;
� 4) Current trends pointing toward an increase in gasoline
prices which could limit the distance an employee would
I allow him or herself to travel. (Economic mobility constraints) �
I
i 5) Preponderance of existing and planned urban designed free-
Iways transecting the City, allowing easy access and free
i movement to major regional employment centers and activity
; nodes for Golden Valley residents.
� An increase in population would not necessarily strain Golden Valley's
, sewer capacity, however. The syatem is currently used only to about
i 50% of its capacity, and would be used to only about 65% of capacity
� • even with maximum expected increase.

6. STORM SEk'ERS
i �
; DVERVIEW:
I
; Yo date, the City of Golden Yat 1 ey has a total of 23.36 mil es of-functional
i storm sewers. These local storm sewers provide a ma3ority of the urban
b+uilt-up area with a means to transport and discharge urban runoff into
� � n�atural or man-made watercourses/waterbodies. �
� Although this man-induced method of collecting, transporting and discharqinq
' surface runoff is an effective way of ensuring the publ ic's protection f�om
� _ floods, it can have a detrimental effect on the water qual ity of the City's
� st�eams and lakes. Many factors contribute to the pollution of natural
' watercourses and waterbodies. Two mn�or inftuences are the r,�e at which
. _ urban runoff is discharged into rvater channels, ponds or lakes and the
' ua yo uf the discharqe. Constituents of urban runoff include pollutants
� sucfi�as sediment, bacteria, lawn/soil fertilizers, salt brine (road salt� ,
� oil , grease, and various pesticides. Each of these pol lutants affect the
iwater quality at a different rate and degree of impact.
� As mentioned above, the rate at which runoff enters a watercourse or water-
i body can significantly affect the quality of water. For instance, soon after
j an urban area receives a severe storm or heavy rainfall , targe amounts of
! � surface runoff are channeled (carried) to discharge p�ints lying along banks
of creeks, streams, ditches, ponds and lakes. Once this contaminated discharqe
, enters the water it begins to mix with the fl ow. Since the point of discharae
i usually receives the highest concentration .of pollutants, the water at this
--la ation as Nell as the water immediately downstream is defined as the critical
zo�e or pollution impact zone. Another important fnctor to tonsider when dis-
'� cussing vs ter quality in streams or takes is the physical variability. The
j depth, velacity and temperature of watercourses and �terbodies can determine
� the intensity of pollution stored and/or carried in water.
i
i The City's primary collector artd rt►over of urban runoff ts Bassett Creek. As
� part of the Lower Bassett Creek Watershed District, this creek has an averaqe
� depth of 2' - 5' and width of 15' - 35' depending o� flow volume (seasonal ).
,
As of 1979, Golden Valley had a total of 46 storm sewer discharae points
� dumping urban runoff into the stream flow of Bassett Creek. �P1ap III) These
, storm sewers are made of various materials and range in size from 12" to 48".
i For instance:

7 36-48u Ret'�metel�
, � Material from which these pipes are constructed includes: reinforced concrete,
corruqated metal , vitrified clay, sectional concrete and PYC (plastic).

' The major identifiable sources of urban stormwater pollution include the
i � following:
! 1) Vehicular and industrial emissions and leakages which contribute ,
j extensive heavy metals from gas, combustion products, tires, ;
finetal parts, brake linings and industrial processes; <;
i ;
� 2) Skid control grit and deicing salts which add high amounts of ;
� solids and salts; 1
� ''
! 3) Street and construction litter which contributes solids, nutrients,
i pesticides, metals and oxygen-demanding substances; ;
...
� 4) Nutrients from overapplied fertilizers and from animal droppings; i
�
i5) Pesticides applied in an inappropriate manner;
; 6) Atmospheric fallout and precipitation which contributes products
i of wind erosion, industrial processes, human activities and
� combustion;
j 7) Nutrients and oxygen-demanding substances from decaying veget-
i" ative matter; and
I
i 8) Sediment from urban erosion. ,
I Perhaps the principal stream polutant by weight and volume is sediment,
� which merits particular attention because of the tendency of some metals,
; nutrients and pesticides to absorb onto soil particles under certain ,
� conditions. Urban stormwater quality may be characterized as having suspended
; sediment concentrations generally far greater than those of raw sewage.
� A primary source for lead pollutants appears to be atmospheric fallout from
fossil fuel combustion and industrial processing, animal and vegetative
idecay, cleaning and medicinal agents, construction debris, preservatives
I and biocides. Chlorides occur in elevated concentrations due to road
� salting activities to remove ice and anow. Levels of Chloride are the �
highest in early spring when accumulated piles of snow and ice release ,
their contents for runoff. Nutrient (phosphorous and nitrogen) input
iresulting from urban runoff is critical since it becomes a contributing , ,
; factor to eutrophication of downstream quiescent waters. It appears from
' past studies that the highest percentages of phosphorous and nitrogen
� pollutants are a�ttributable to urban runoff and that most of the nutrients
' are derived from precipitation, dust fall, vegetative leaching,
j street litter, fertilizer, and petrochemical combustion.

� These discharge points serve nearly a11 of the built-up areas of the City.
; These areas have been designated the City's assessed sewer service districts
' (Map IVy. The remaini�g land unsewered by 1oca1 storm sewers receives sewer
` service by one of the following methods:
; _ 1) Storm sewer service provided by developer during the construction
� phase of a development.
� 2) County and State storm sewers provided when necessary along County
i
and State owned property.
� 3) Ponding provided by the City and utilited by land developers or
� owners to capture surface runoff.
;
A report prepared in 1972 by Hickok Associates estimated the tvpe and quantit.v
; of speciftc pollutants discharged into the fdetropol itan region's ma�or water-
; shed districts. The report concluded that the Lower portion of the Bassett
; Creek Watershed Oistrict, as it serves florth Minneapolis and Golden Valley,
� was the fourth most consistently polluted watershed area in the Metro region.
� Basically, th�s conclusion was based on the fotlowing u�ban characteristics
� and �atural topography:
� 1) Since the Northern sector of Minneapolis utilizes this water '
; � channel, the water is impacted by numerous pollutants entering
' the Creek in large volumes at a fast rate after a �ninfall.
, 2) Lack of man-made ponding and ditches in Minneapolis to divert,
- absorb and store ru�off.
;
3) The amount of intense urban tand uses lying ad3acent to the
Bassett Creek corridor. Land dive�red to urban uses typically
' has targe impervious surfaces Nhich increase the rate at Mhich
i pollutants are collected and discha►rged into the creek.

'' � Map IV on the preceding page shows those areas of the City that presently
� have storm sewer services that have been installed and are maintained
; by the City of Golden Valley. The remaining areas either do not have
; public stormsewer service, or are served by small private systems installed
by a developer and therefore the property owners have not been assessed
j for storm sewer service. However, in the event that new storm sewer
' service, or substantial repairs are necessary in those areas in the
i future, the cost of such improvements would be assessed.

i Even though the Lower Bassett Creek Watershed Sub�istrict received a high
I pollution rating, the City of Golden Ynlley is not the mafor contributor
i behind the poor Nater quality. Yet, the City must continue to be environ-
; mentally sensitive to the quality of runoff entering the C�eek from "point
; sources" (storm sewer discharge points).
;
; One method used by the City to lessen the amount of p�lluted �unoff is by
�! sweeping the lx al roadway network. This effective method, if carried out
correctly, can significantly reduce the actual number of polluting substances
; flowing through the storm sewer system.
i
Obvtously, a municipal storm seNer systen is unable to catch the entire
amount of su�face runoff. In many cases, the remaining surface water n�t
; carried by the storm.sewers is either carried b
� s�rface to s ecificall desi ned Y 4ravity over the ground
p Y g ponds and ditches or slowly percolated
� into the soit whe�e it meets the watertable.
� The bnlance of polluted urban runoff not handled by man-made techniques
, is comnonly referred to as "non-point source pollution". This potentially
' harmful . "non-point sourte pollution" is typically the result of various
' uncontrolled circumstances, such as
. poor landscapinq practices, overabun-
j dance of applied lawn care substances on lands ad�oining waterbodies and
� channels, and illegal i�dustrial , commercial and residential discharges
' ta king place without a state approved permit.

DATE: October l , 1979 �
RE: Tax-exempt Financing Policy
The City Council has determined that it would be worthwhile to refer to the
Planning Commission, a proposed amendment to the City's tax-exempt financing
policy. Tfie staff will review with the Planning Commission, background on
tax-exempt financing in general and more specifically, the City's current
policy.
The Council wishes the Planning Comrnission to consider the following amend-
ment: Should tax-exempt financing be permitted in the development of vacant
parcels where the zoning classificatto� is of a higher use than is permitted
under the Comprehensive Plan. This would be limited specifically to either
comrtiercial office or industrial uses.
- The City Council used this amendment as a possible additional implementation
tool for the Comprehensive Plan. The Council woutd like a report back from
the Planning Commission after the first of the year.
