C. Presentation of Certificate of Excellence- Community Service Officer Phillip Ozmun Prepared By Stacy Carlson, Chief of Police Summary On the evening of October 6, 2012 Community Service Officer (C50) Phil Ozmun was working the front desk and assisted officers with entering a KOPS alert on a burglary suspect vehicle. Shortly after leaving work CSO Ozmun was driving home in his personal vehicle when he spotted the burglary suspect's vehicle at Highway 55 and Gfenwood Avenue. He was able to get turned around and into a position to contact on duty officers and observe the suspects in the driveway of 7100 Glenwood Avenue, where they committed another burglary. CSO Ozmun followed the suspects until officers were able to locate the suspects and make an arrest. Officers were able to arrest the two burglary suspects quickly due to CSO Ozmun's quick-thinking, attention to detail and his dedication to service even while off duty. Both of the suspects were subsequently charged with multiple burglaries and other related offenses. Without his great work, the suspects may not have been apprehended and the case would have taken many hours of investigative time. Recommended Action Police Chief Stacy Carlson presents a Certificate of Excellence to Community Service Officer Phillip Ozmun.

Chair Waldhauser called the meeting to order at 7:05 pm. Those present were Planning Gommissioners, Cera, Kisch, Kluchka, McCarty, Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present were Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes and City Planner Joe Hogeboom. Commissioner Schmidgall was absent. 1. Approval of Minutes September 10, 2012 Regular Planning Commission Meeting MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Kisch and motion carried unanimously to approve the September 10, 2012 minutes as submitted. 2. Brainstorming Hogeboom introduced the Planning Commission Brainstorming Session. Hogeboom explained that the Planning Commission is holding an informal brainstorming session to discuss various topics related ta the duties of the Planning Commission. The following issues were discussed. A. 2013 Planning Commission Meeting Schedule Hogeboom explained that staff is currently creating the 2013 Planning Commission meeting schedule. To eliminate confusion with development project scheduling, as well as to better coordinate public hearings with City Council meetings, staff proposed to reduce the number of monthly Planning Commission meetings to one meeting per month. The Planning Commission agreed to publish one meeting per month in 2013, which would be the first monthly Planning Commission meeting, which is typically held an the second Monday of the month. The Commission then proposed to leave the second monthly meeting on its schedule in case it is needed. Staff and the Planning Commission will determine, on a case-by-case basis, if a second "back- up" monthly meeting is needed. B. PUD Process Hogeboom stated that staff has received feedback from several of the Planning Commissioners regarding the PUD process and whether or not it could be modified to allow the Planning Commission to have greater control over develapment site design elements and landscaping requirements. Hogeboom clarified that the Preliminary PUD approval process allows the Planning Commission and the City Council to approve the concept of a development, but that design modifications can still be made during #he Final PUD process. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 8, 2012 Page 2 The Planning Commission agreed to study current design requirements (which exist for the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District) in greater detail and see if they should be applied more broadly to development. The Planning Commission discussed the possibility of expanding its role as a "Design Review Board" and agreed to bring the matter for discussion at the upcoming HRA/Planning Commission workshop. C. Solar Access Ordinance Mark Grimes shared that he recently became aware of an opportunity to receive free assistance in drafting a solar energy access ordinance. Grimes explained that current City regulations may need to be updated as trends and technology change, and it may now be a good opportunity to evaluate current ordinances. The Planning Commission showed an interest in evaluating solar energy regulations and requested staff to contact Brian Ross, CR Planning, for more information. Staff will provide an update of the scope of work available from CR Planning at a future meeting. D. Tree House/Play Structure Regulations Hogeboom stated that he has been receiving complaints about tree houses, play forts and swing sets that are perceived to be too tall and too close to property lines. Hogeboom stated that the City does regulate "accessory structures" in the R-1 Single Family Zoning District, but it typically does not regulate play structures. Hogeboom further explained that City Code currently does not define play structures. Waldhauser stated that she believed that it would be worthwhile for staff to study this issue and introduce a draft ardinance that would regulate play structures. She suggested that staff evaluate play structure regulations in neighboring communities. She also suggested that staff get an opinion about play structure regulations from the City Attorney. Grimes agreed and stated that he would provide an update to the Planning Commission at a later meeting. 3. Reports on Meetings af the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings No reports were given. 4. Other Business No other business was discussed. 5. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 pm. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 8, 2012 Page 3 David A. Cera, Secretary Regular Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall, Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday, October 22, 2012. Chair Waldhauser called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those present were Planning Commissioners, Kisch, Kluchka, Schmidgall, Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present were Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes, City Planner Joe Hogeboom and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Cera and McCarty were absent. 1. Presentation of 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program—Sue Virnig, City Finance Director Sue Virnig, Finance Director, explained that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a 5-year financing planning instrument used to identify needed capital projects and to delineate the financing and timing of assaciated projects. Generally, these projects exceed $10,000 in cost and require long-term financing. The CIP also identifies bond issues necessary to fund improvements and each project is brought forth for approval by the City Council. Because of its relationship with the City's Comprehensive Plan the GIP is reviewed by the Planning Commission. Waldhauser referred to the Douglas Drive project and asked Virnig to summarize the major activities in 2014-2015 when the bulk of the activities occur. Virnig referred to page 104 and explained the breakdown of the expenditures for pouglas Drive improvements. Waldhauser asked if there are any items in the CIP that are a deviation or change from recent trends and expenses. Virnig explained that 2013 market values are down 2.5% and the City is trying to improve its infrastructure, but also lessen the impact on the taxpayers by reducing the number of streets being reconstructed. Segelbaum asked about the 2012-2013 reduction in the buildings and parks sections. Virnig referred to page 96 of the CIP that explains project itemization. She discussed the transfers made in 2012 fram the general fund to the park improvement fund. Waldhauser asked if the redevelopment area near Boone and Highway 55 is reflected in this CIP. Virnig stated that those improvements will be reflected in the CIP next year. Schmidgall referred to the cable equipment replacement section of the CIP and questioned the use of those funds. Virnig explained that the funds in the CIP along with franchise fees are used to replace cable equipment in the control room as needed. MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Schmidgall and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program as it is consistent with the Gomprehensive Plan. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 Page 2 2. Informal Public Hearing — Planned Unit Development (PUD) —60Q Boone Avenue North — Boone Avenue Convenience Center— PU-110 — Final Plan Applicant: Linn Investment Properties, LLC Address: 600 Boone Avenue North ' Purpose: To allow for the construction of a retail/service facility on the east side of the site. Hogeboom stated that this public hearing is for the Final PUD application proposal for the Boone Avenue Convenience Center. He reminded the Planning Commission that they reviewed the Preliminary PUD proposal on August 27, 2012 and that the City Council approved it on September 19, 2012. He explained that the proposal includes retaining and remodeling the existing gas station and constructing a new retail building east of the existing building. He stated that the property is guided for long-term retail and service uses in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned Commercial sa no changes to zoning or to the Comprehensive Plan would be required for this proposal. He explained that this proposal is being considered as a PUD because both buildings would function as one cohesive development with internal traffic circulation, shared parking, pedestrian cannections and facade treatments. He referred to his staff report and explained that in order for this development to be approved as a PUD the City must be able to make the following findings: 1. Quality Site Planning. The PUD plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of the site and achieves a higher quality of site planning and design than generally expected under conventional provisions of the ordinance. 2. Preservation. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of the site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands and open waters. 3. Efficient— Effective. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of the land. 4. Compatibility. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals. 5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. 6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all other PUD ordinance provisions. He stated that staff is recommending approval of this Final Plan proposal based on the findings above and the following conditions: 1. The plans submitted with the application shall become a part of this approval. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 Page 3 2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the mema from Deputy Fire Marshal Ed Anderson to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development dated July 30, 2012, shall become part of this approval. 3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from Public Works Specialist Eric Eckman to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development, dated October 16, 2012, shall become a part of this approval. 4. All signs on the property must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Cade. 5. The design specifications, including building location, fa�ade treatment and materials, and site design, as submitted by the applicant, shall become part of this approval. 6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with authority over this development. Waldhauser asked if the design specifications included in the agenda packet have been approved by the City Council. Hogeboom said yes, and added that the Planning Commission can provide recommendations regarding the design to the City Council. Segelbaum referred to the applicant's narrative and noted there was additional parking and landscape information included in the narrative. He asked if staff met with the applicant regarding this additional information and if there were changes made to the parking and landscaping proposals since the preliminary PUD stage. Hogeboom explained that the parking requirements are based on use, not the zoning district, so they may change depending on what type of businesses are located in the proposed new building. He added that staff has reviewed the landscaping plan submitted and it does meet all of the requirements. Segelbaum asked about the process if the applicant decides he needs additional parking spaces. Hogeboom said the PUD would have to be amended if additianal parking spaces are needed. Grimes added that the proposed parking plan does meet the requirements for general retail space and that the parking spaces for the gas station could also be used by the retail building customers. Stephen Linn, CEO Linn Companies, Applicant, referred ta the number of parking spaces and said he feels that the numbers are "right on" and would meet the standards of 90% of the cities in the Twin Cities metro area. Kisch said he wants to make sure consideration is given to handicap parking spaces as well. Linn said the amount handicap parking spaces will be considered during the City's code review process. Kisch asked why the amount of impervious surface increased .2% over what was shown on the preliminary plans. Waldhauser noted there is a concrete patio the south side of the proposed new building. Linn stated that he doesn't think there have been any changes since his last submittal. Waldhauser referred to the site plan and noted that the pedestrian access seems awkward because the proposed sidewalk runs between the two buildings and not to the building entrances. Kisch added that an extended sidewalk to the proposed retail building and possibly a crosswalk or striped area would create a more pedestrian friendly site. Linn said he is open to whatever direction the City gives him. Grimes clarified that the suggestion Minutes of the Gofden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 Page 4 the Planning Commission is making would be to have separate sidewalks to the gas station and the retail building with a striped area across the parking lot, which would bring people to the entrance of the buildings. Segelbaum asked if the Planning Commission's suggestion regarding the sidewalks should be made a condition of their approval. Waldhauser said she thinks it should be a recommendation, not a condition. Kisch agreed and added that he would like the applicant to explore their options before this plan moves on to the City Council. Waldhauser stated that she thinks there needs to be flexibility with the amount of parking because there is no parking allowed around the site. Kluchka asked if the locations of the trash enclosures could be consolidated. Linn stated that there are two separate parcels so there really needs to be two separate trash enclosure areas that aren't too far away for the tenants of either building. Segelbaum asked the applicant what he meant in the narrative when he stated that there will be additional parking. Linn stated that the amount of parking on the gas station parcel is increasing from what is there today. Kluchka asked about the materials being proposed for the trash enclosures. Linn said the trash enclosures will be made from a block that matches the buildings. Grimes noted that the City requires trash enclosures to be made of the same type of materials as the principal structure. Kluchka asked if the trash enclosure for the praposed retail building could be moved to the south corner so it is not right by the sidewalk. Linn stated that the trash enclosure can't be built in that location because it can't be located in the flood area for the creek. Waldhauser referred to the landscaping plan and asked if there is any opportunity to put in more trees and shrubs and less daylilies. Linn explained that additional landscaping will be done on the gas station site. He stated that there are major Metropolitan Council utilities running through this area so they really can't plant more trees but they can have more shrubs and mulched beds. Waldhauser asked about the type of landscaping on Boone Avenue. Linn said those areas are currently landscaped and aren't being disturbed. Kisch stated that given 14 trees are being removed and only four are being added he thinks more could be done. He suggested more trees be put in along Golden Valley Road and possibly along the east side of the car wash where there is a sod area. Linn explained that the sign is going to be located in the area to the east of the car wash but he could put in additional landscaping along Golden Valley Road if it doesn't interfere with sightlines. He added that he also needs to have room for snow storage. Kluchka said he would like the property to feel more open and more like a community space. He said benches similar to the ones at Golden Valley Road and Winnetka would help give the site a community-space feel. Linn noted that there will be a patio on the south end of the retail building. Kluchka said that patio would have a fence around it. He reiterated that having table and benchs in this space would improve the community feel Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 Page 5 and make this property more about Golden Valley and not just about cars coming in and spending money. He asked if there will be a bike rack on the site. Linn said yes and showed on the plans where it will be located. Kluchka said he wants to encourage pedestrians to use this site so he would like to make a recommendation that benches be added to the site. Linn said he is not sure the site is large enough for benches and tables but it may be possible to add some small benches. Waldhauser suggested putting benches up against the front of the building. Linn stated that sidewalk space in front of buildings is typically used for product space and there also needs to be accessible space and room to walk on the sidewalk. Waldhauser asked if the facades of the proposed new retail building could be broken up visually/architecturally. Linn referred to the elevation drawings and explained that there will be stone and brick columns, a parapet, awnings and decorative light fixtures. All of which will be a considerable enhancement over what is currently on the site. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to speak, Waldhauser closed the public hearing. MOVED by Schmidgall to recommend approval of the Final PUD Plan for the Baone Avenue Convenience Genter proposal. Kisch said he would like to discuss the Planning Commission recommendations regarding pedestrian access, exploring options for additional landscaping opportunities and the 360- degree design on the facades of the buildings. He said he is comfortable with the proposed design. Kluchka said he thinks it is important that pieces of the Planning Commission discussion regarding benches or public space concepts be considered. He suggested that another conditional of approval be added that includes language requiring the applicant to include "visual interest" to the elevations. Waldhauser suggested glass inserts with murals behind them to add architectural interest. Linn said he can assure the City that he is proposing the nicest convenience around. He said that adding fake windows is not the way to go and won't get the architectural look the Planning Commission wants. Segelbaum said he thinks the proposed building and remodeling are clearly a huge enhancement over what is currently on the site. He added that he likes the language Commission Kisch suggested encouraging the applicant to "explore" additional landscaping opportunities rather than requiring the applicant to add landscaping. Schmidgall asked for clarification on what the Commissioners are suggesting as additional conditions of approval. Hogeboom stated that the first condition is to have the applicant explare improved pedestrian site features, including adding an additional sidewalk, the second condition is to have the applicant explore enhanced landscaping opportunities for the site including benches for public seating and the third condition is to have the applicant consider ways to enhance visual interest to the site, including possible enhancements to building facades. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission October 22, 2012 Page 6 After discussion, Kisch seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous to recommend approval of the Final PUD Plan for PUD-110 - Boone Avenue Convenience Center subject to the following conditions and findings: Conditions: 1. The plans submitted with the application shall become a part of this approval. 2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the mema from Qeputy Fire Marshal Ed Anderson to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development dated July 30, 2012, shall become part of this approval. 3.

The Devetoper shall consider ways in which to enhance visual interest to the site, including possible enhancements to building facades. 10.This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulatians, or laws with authority over this development.

Approval of Reqular Meetinq Minutes — September 24, 2012 MQVED by Hill, seconded by Gitelis, and the motion carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the September 24, 2012 meeting. 4. Section 10.32 Study Baker spoke to the commission, in his role as a DNR official, about wild life implications if Sec. 10/32 is amended. He does not believe the predator population will increase as a result of chickens. What could attract predators is food that isn't properly stored or waste that isn't cleaned up. He confers with other speakers that proper coop design and fencing will help to keep predators away. Seaburg presented a draft of the final report. The commission will review it at the next meeting and discuss the recommendation to the Council. Gitelis asked if staff could research what the penalties are for ordinance violations in other cities that allow chickens, She also asked for an estimate of additional staff time devoted to this ordinance if changed. 5. Maple Grove Yard Waste I Ray presented a new service option, to contract with Maple Grove Yard Waste for residential yard waste disposal, to the Commission. Contracting with the Maple Grove Yard Waste Site would mean that continuation of two existing recycling programs, Fall Leaf Drop and Spring Brush Pickup programs, would need to be reevaluated for cost effectiveness. Information regarding the proposed service option is on-file. The primary concerns expressed by some of the commissioners were the need to transport material a further dist�nce and the need to transport items on the highway. Some commissioners viewed the new service, with potential cuts to existing programs, as a loss of service for residents. Minutes of the Environmental Commission October 22, 2012 Page 2 of 2 Hill made a motion to decline a change to the current process. It was seconded by Gitelis. The motion was approved with one opposing vote by Anderson. 6. Proqram/Proiect Updates Summary on-file 7. Commission Member Council Reports None 8. Other Business Gitelis reported that Minnesota Environmental Partnership (MEP) has started meetings in preparation for the upcoming session. Environmental Quality Board (EQB) is holding hearings looking for citizen input on quality standards. She will send more information on both to the commissioners, via staff. Clancy reported that she participated in a third generation planning process meeting for the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission. They are looking for ways to get public participation. Clancy has suggested that BCWMC utilize the appropriate commissions that exist in the various cities as a way of getting public participation. The Environmental Commission will mast likely see more on this next year. 9. Adiourn MOVED by Hill, seconded by Gitelis, and the motion carried to adjourn. The meeting adjourrled at 8:25 pm.

N�� j 9 2QiZ Dear Mayor Harris and Council Members, I appreciate the opportunity to serve my community on the Golden Valley Open Spaces and Recreation Commission for the last four years. I am proud that, during a difficult fiscal time, our Commission repeatedly pressed forward to emphasize the importance of parks and park programming, both for benefit of existing residents and also understanding that a good parks system increases the desirability of a community for future residents. I am hopeful that the City Council will continue to value the Commission's input and will pursue initiatives to improve our wonderful community's parks and programs. I have enjoyed working with Rick Jacobson and his staff. We are fortunate to have them as Golden Valley employees and their dedication to the parks, our community and, in particular, our seniors and youth, is something we shauld all be grateful for. I have been appointed to serve the State of Minnesota as Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Staff to the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The requirements of this position, along with those of my growing family, make it necessary for me to resign from the Golden Valley Open Space and Recreation Commission, effective immediately. Again, thank you for giving me this opportunity and I am hopeful that I have served our community well over the last four years.

Pace Chief,Customer Service Division Passport Services Dear Ms. Pace, I received your letter dated September 28,2012,in which you say that the Department of State (State)determined that it will not designate the City of Golden Valley's Department of Motor Vehicles(DMV) as a passport application acceptance facility. I respectfitlly request that State reconsider its decision and allow Golden Valley's DMV to be reinstated as a passport application acceptance facility based on the following: 1) Golden Valley's DMV was a passport application acceptance facility at the fime that State changed its practice; 2)there is a large demand for passport services in this area; and 3)the closest passport acceptance facility is close to five miles away. In your letter, you indicated that State ceased designating new passport application acceptance facilities in November 2010. Golden Valley's DMV was a passport application acceptance facility when State's new rule was put into effect in November 2010. Golden Valley's DMV should not be penalized because it was temporarily closed from April 1, 2011 until July 23, 2012. Additionally, you asserted that State would only designate new facilities if the facility was located in an underserved area. You listed the City of Robbinsdale's DMV among 18 other facilities that are located with a 10 mile radius of Golden Valley's DMV to highlight that this area is not underserved. However,the distance you have listed between the closest passpork acceptance facility at the City of Robbinsdale's DMV and Golden Valley's DMV(1 mile)is not accurate. In fact, the City of Robbinsdale's DMV is located more than five miles away. The second closest facility on your list, USPO Lost Lake Branch(listed at 3 miles away), is also more than five miles away. The closest facility on your list appears to be Hennepin County— Ridgedale Center, which is alrnost five miles away from Golden Valley's DMV. PRINTED ON pECYCLfD PAPEfl � Moreover, there is a large demand for passport services in this area,as Gold Valley is home to the warld headquarters of several international corporations, including General Mills, Honeywell,and Pentair. Moreover, an additional 30,000 people come into Golden Valley each day to work. As Golden Valley's DMV was a passport application acceptance facility at the time of State's change in practice,because there is a large demand for passport services in the immediate area, and because the closest facility is almost five miles away, I urge you to reconsider your determination and to reinstate Golden Valley's DMV as a passport application acceptance facility.

I have listed these below: Traffic Concerns: • The study by SEH estimates 2,299 additional vehicle trips per day with most of this being added to Circle Down, a quiet residential street. • This adds too much traffic to a poorly designed corner at Golden Hills Drive, Turners Crossroad and Circle Dawn. People unfamiliar with the area aren't expecting the two lanes on Golden Hills Drive to turn into one lane on Turners and with many cars making an immediate left hand turn onto Circle Down, there are already many near-misses. • Another poorly designed intersection at Golden Hills Drive and Xenia will be burdened with a huge increase of traffic. With the two left-hand turn lanes from westbound Golden Hills Drive to southbound Xenia, people are constantly turning into the wrong lane. This will just get worse with the increased traffic volume. • Longer wait times at the lights at the above intersection. • With the sidewalk only on one side of Circle Down between the project entryway and Turners Crossroad, there will be more danger to pedestrians with the added traffic volume. • More danger to the residents af the group home for autistic minors on the north side of Circle Down. • !s Golden Valley ready for the added volume and confusion similar to the West End area? Entrance to Project from Circle Down: • Plans are not very clear— How far is the proposed road from the Iot's eastern border? Is there a proposed privacy fence? • The homeawners on the north side of Circle Down will have headlights shining directly into their homes when cars are exiting the development. • Much more night activity through this entrance lot than for the existing apartments. • Added noise and house vibration in my house (right next door to the entrance) from all of the added traffic, especially if the road runs parallel to my house as currently proposed. • Decreased marketability of my house when selling it. This will not add value to my house as the developer claims. Do they want to guarantee it? • If this proposal proceeds,the entrance road needs to follow the existing driveway to the existing apartments. This will push some of the added inconvenience and invasion of privacy further from my house. Noise concerns: • Added traffic for everybody on Circle Down. • Added traffic noise in my home from the new road next door. • Noise from parking lot. Even though the rental units are being catered to "young professionals", area homeowners will hear the door slamming, conversations, car radios and yelling. With the 24 units in the 2 buildings behind me now, I already hear too much of this. All homes on the south side of Circle Down will be affected by the added noise from the outdoor parking. • Has the developer considered giving a "noise allowance" to the homeowners to help shield against the increased noise? I don't know about all of the houses on the street, but I know I will need new windows and/or insulation to help minimize the noise. • Two years of construction noise from pile-driving, trucks, large construction equipment, pounding, workers hollering. • Snow removal during the nights. • Emergency vehicles servicing the senior-building. Lighting Concerns: • Even though the buildings are set back from the current homes per zoning requirements, the six stories of lighted units will be very intrusive to the existing neighborhood. • How will the lights in the parking lots be shielded from the existing homes? • The proposed fence on the property line will not totally block the headlights from the parking lot and entrance road as the developer claims. • The buffer trees will not block out much of the light. The electric company keeps the trees trimmed that are near the lines. Construction Concerns: • How does the developer plan on working with the homeowners to compensate or repair damage caused by the construction? o Vibration from pile driving. o Vibration from numerous large trucks (25—35 tons each) used for necessary soil remediation. o More settling of foundations, sidewalks and driveways from potential water dewatering. I understand there was much of this during the 394-construction. o Will the developer provide insurance ar a bond to cover all damage? • Will any of the sound barriers be in place prior to the main construction? • Will construction traffic use Circle Down for access to the site? Circle Down homeowners cannot be expected to have all of this heavy traffic on the street. Can the new pavement even handle it? • What is the timing of construction once all approvals are received? Poor Design for the Parking Lot: • The current design has the renters driving through the entire parking lot to get to the garage door for the indoor parking. • This is extra noise and headlights affecting the homeowners to the north of the complex. • Increased safety-hazard with pedestrians in the parking lot crossing the paths of the cars entering and exiting the complex. • This design will make it much mare difficult for the renters to enter and exit if there's much snow in the parking lot. • Better to move the garage entrance to the west side of the complex. • The proposed parking appears to be close to conflicting with zoning requirements. If there's not enough parking, where will the overflow of cars go? The only possible street parking would be Circle Down. • Where will the cars go if we have heavy snows and many spots are lost, or the cars need to move for snow removal? Drainage Concerns: • More information is needed about the drainage in the homeowners' backyards. Make sure drainage doesn't suffer. • Does the MN Pollution Control Agency or Watershed District have minimum requirements on the size of the retention pond? o Proposed pond appears very small for the size of the complex. o Will the retention pond be allowed to go stagnant and fout-smelling, like some of these ponds? Economic Consequences to Area Homeowners: • Decreased market values of current homes. • Higher utility costs o Less natural heating with less sunlight to the homes in the winter. o More air conditioning costs in the summer since windows can't be open due to the added noise. o More insulation, better windows and window coverings to shield out the noise and lights. o High buildings may affect television signals to some homes. • Damage to homes caused by construction. • Casts of restoring affected landscaping. • Possible costs of rerouting utilities. Will the current utility lines be buried? Miscellaneous Items: • Is the area getting too many rental units? • Is the marketability of the rental units affected by the proximity to 394? • Developer indicated the construction won't be conducive to future condo-conversions. Will the rental units have to be marketed to different types of renters in the future if the rental market changes? • Will the apartments allow pets? If so, the added dog-traffic in the area will mean more dog waste on homeowners' lawns. • The developer is trying to promote a pedestrian friendly environment, which is good, but it also comes with some problems. o East end of Circle Down has no sidewalks which means more people will be walking and running on the street with the traffic. o Non-homeowners don't seem to respect property as much so there will be more litter scattered on homeowners' lawns in the area. • Who wiil decide on the types of trees to be planted on property lines? To date, there's been basically no communication from the developer on anything. I know some of these items were discussed at the Planning Commission meeting on November 5, 2012, but I feel all af these items need to be given consideration. I know the current plans have numerous items that are close to, or conflict with current zoning ordinances and I hope the City Officials aren't too hasty in granting variances to the codes. The current proposal definitely does not "Protect and respect traditional neighborhoods" which is a major objective of the City's Comprehensive Plan. I moved here eleven years ago and one of the major selling points of the house was the quiet street. New homeowners on Circle Down have made the same comment. It's sad when an unproven developer from outside the community can come in and turn a suburban setting into an urban area and disrupt everything. Other than the one meeting at the West End when a smaller development was shown, I don't think there's been any effort to make contact with the affected homeowners. Based on what I've seen, I'm afraid this will continue during and after construction. Please consider having the developer scale back the magnitude of this project, having the traffic access changed, or better yet, look at some new "Mixed Use" development for this property that may combine some office use with smaller rental units or some townhomes that may be rented or owned. This would take away much of the activity from the evening and weekend hours when the current homeowners are at home and looking for a continuation of the quiet neighborhood that we bought into and have enjoyed for years.

I live on Kewanee Way, facing the Burlington Northern rail lines, so I would both benefit from and be affected by the choice to run the light rail through this corridor. I've also attended all of the rail apen houses, listened to those presenting and those who would benefit from the line and have offered my opinion about the route, which is this: fior this line to truly serve as a transportation option to those of us an the north side, the Burlington Northern route should not be endorsed by the Golden Valley Council and Mayor. With rails stops in Robbinsdale and another at Golden Valley Road, the line will miss the majority of the riders in between. You have recognized the lack of parking at the Golden Valley Road stop, so I'm not sure where these riders will come from - except for those like me, who live in the neighborhood. This option would run through our cammunity but offer very little benefit to it. North Minneapolis residents who attended the informational meetings expressed their desire for the light rail to follow Broadway and draw riders from to and from the hospital and the north side. They also spoke of the desire to see the kind of neighborhood revitalization that has occurred along the Hiawatha line. This option would draw riders from a broader area and hopefully inspire the building of community that the residents seek. My biggest concern are the camments that tie the light rail decision to a promise that Hennepin County will provide 911 service for Golden Valley. These are two completely distinct decisions and need to be kept separate. Make a decision only about the light rail based on what is best for Golden Valley and the community at large and solve the 911 dilemma independently. Bottom line is that I will use the light rail when it is available. Ideally, I'd like to board a full train running through a revitalized north Minneapolis than take the scenic route through the park in a railcar by myself. See you on the 28th...

A Wirth Park station near Wirth Parkway and Plymouth Avenue makes the most sense for a terminal station since it is on the Luce line bike route and there is parking and parking expansion at Wirth Park. I don't believe that Golden Valley has the bargaining chips to get 911 service from the county in exchange for a light rai! stop. However, you should definitely bargain for everything yau can get.

I support the construction of light rail. However, all of the residents I have spoken to, prefer the D2 route. I do not understand how the D1 route continues to appear as the "Locally Preferred Option". D1 essentially passes through a swamp - inaccessible on both sides of the track through long sections of wetlands. What is more, Theodore Wirth Park is to Minneapolis what Central Park is to NYC. I cannot imagine that the people who had the foresight to set this land aside, for all to enjoy, intended to have mass transit run through it. Don't do this! Please listen to the residents of Minneapolis and Golden Valley, and most importantly take the long view on this project. It might be easier in the short term to construct light rail where the land is already owned by the BNSF railroad. However, far more people can access the line if the D2 route passing near North Memorial and down Broadway is chosen. This route will increase economic development and provide much needed access where there are people to ride and benefit. 'I'hank you Marlene Jacobs The Re��rcnd Marlenc J�acobs St. Paul's Episcopal Church 1��Iinneapolis, �IN From: Jeremy Fisher [mrjeremyfisher@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 9:53 AM To: Clausen, ]oanie; Harris, Shep; Freiberg, Mike; Pentel, Paula; Scanlon, DeDe Subject: Bottineau Light Rail Dear Council Members, I'm writing to express my opposition ta the proposed D1 light rail route through Golden Valley. The selection of this route may be the most politically expedient for other communities but does not make sense for the citizens of Golden Valley. A light rail station at Golden Valley Road would serve a very small number of citizens, as there is no population density in the area. It would also encourage commuters to use our community's streets as a park and ride. I was disheartened to see the following the Star Tribune this Sunday: "Last week, the council met with representatives of the Met Council and the county about the line. Following that discussion, Joanie Clausen, who had voted against the raute in June, said she may be willing to switch her vote to allow project planning to proceed. But she wants the county to "seriously consider" adding Golden Valley to its 911 dispatch service." While the inclusion of Golden Valley in the county 911 dispatch service would help our city � � budget, it would not make a light rail line through our community any more palatable. Please make your decisions based on the merits of the plan itself. Thank you. Jeremy Fisher 2332 Kewanee Way Golden Valley, MN 55422 612-735-6690 From: Dana Knopic [DKnopic@cdrg.org] Sent; Tuesday, November 20, 2012 11:30 AM To: Scanlon, DeDe Subjec#: Proposed Bottineau Transitway Dear Council Member Scanlon: I urge you to support the proposed Golden Valiey route for the Bottineau light-rail line. As the Twin Cities continue to grow, traffic becomes worse and worse, especially in the downtown areas. Golden Valley needs a reliable and frequent option of this commuter light-rail line, especially since bus service is non-existent in some areas of Golden Valley outside of rush hour (at least it sure is for me.) At the very least, please vote to allow the planning to proceed. A station at Golden Valley Road would be a huge plus, but be sure to demand adequate parking at the station. A very limited number of residents live within walking distance of the proposed station. Having to transfer from buses to light rail adds more delays and more time to the commute. However, the option of driving a short distance to a light-rail station with adequate parking available at no extra charge will give residents a way to get to work, shopping, and events in downtown Minneapolis in less time, with less traffic (translation: less headaches), at less expense, and in a more environmentally-friendly way than driving.

We have enjoyed a positive and constructive relationship with the City throughout that time. The purpose of this letter is to encourage and support the efforts by you and the Golden Valley City Council to pursue further study of the proposed Bottineau]ight rail line and a proposed passenger station near Golden Valley Road and Wirth Parkway. Light rail has been a tremendous benefit to the Twin Cities, and Honeywell is strongly supportive of your efforts to help the Golden Valley community share in its benefits. Affordable and accessible transportation is critical for job growth in any community. With more than 3,500 employees in Minnesota and as one of Golden Valley's largest employers,Honeywell understands the many benefits that accessible light rail service would bring to this community and our business. Light rail service would provide a convenient and low-cost transportation option for Golden Valley residents as well as our current and prospective employees.Most importantly,it has the strong potential to bring additional economic development and jobs to this community, something that other neighborhoods and communities along light raillines have experienced. Light rail has another virtue that is especially important to Honeywell—it's green.Honeywell is a global leader in energy efficiency and our Building Solutions business,based here in Golden Valley,works with many municipa] and state governments around the country to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings and facilities,ultimately reducing costs to taacpayers. We can attest to the environmental benefits of infrastructure improvements such as light rail,which removes cars from the road,cuts greenhouse gas emissions and, ultimately, improves overall energy efficiency for the community at large. Mayor Harris,Honeywell stands behind you and the Council in your efforts to maximize light rail's benefit to Golden Valley. Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

Importance: High Dear Golden Valley Residents: Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. I hope the holiday season has gotten off to a good start for you. I wanted to bring to your attention a city-wide public forum on the proposed Bottineau light rail line this coming Wednesday, Nov 28, for 7:OOpm at City Hall. I strongly encourage you to attend as you will get an opportunity to hear more about the proposal and also get a chance to offer your opinion. Here's the city link to additional information on the public forum and the process in which this proposal has taken and may continue to take: htkp:/Jwww.goldenvalleymn.gov/n2wsarchive/index.php[2012/11/21/citx-council-to-hold-nov-28- public-forum-on-bottineau-transitwav/. If you are unable to attend the public forum, I would encourage you to email me and the other City Council Members at http:/�www.goldenvalleymn.gov/counciUmembers.ph�and let us know how you feeL I also wanted to set the record straight on some information you may have heard on this proposal: 1. The City Council will be considering a new resolution in the near future which aukhorizes the County and Met Council to go forward with an extensive study/preliminary engineering phase of a proposed light rail line (known as the Bottineau Line). This resolution authorizes the study of a specific alignment which goes through the northeastern portion of Golden Valley along the Burlington Northern/Sante Fe Line, For more information, go to http:l/bottineautransitway.orq/. 2. This is far from the final decision on whether this light rail line goes forward. This next study phase allows the County/Met Council to gather detailed information on the proposed line and report back to all effected cities sa we may cast a final and informed decision (called Municipal Consent) within the next couple of years and determine if this is the best proposed route or if we should review other alternative routes. 3. This is not a "done deal." In addition to Municipal Consent, the state and federal governments also have to authorize millions of dollars before this project can go forward. When you put the entire process together, this could take another 5-10 years. 4. Concerns that have been stated by residents over the proposed alignment (ie; environmental impact, light/noise pollution, property value impacts, appropriate parking, etc.) will all be analyzed as part of the next study phase. 5. A Council Member who is opposed to the proposed resolution has been stating that the cost of this next study phase will cost $4 million. This is incorrect. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement(DEIS), which reviews multiple proposed alignments, is costing the County/Met Cauncil $4 million. 6. Opponents of this route continue to state that the proposed Bottineau route goes through Wirth Park and Mary Hills Nature Area. This is not correct. The proposed light rail would travel on the already established BNSF line adjacent to - not through - Wirth Park and Mary Hills Nature Area. Nevertheless, I would like to see the next study phase analyze the environmental impact to this park and open space before giving any final consent to the project.

Qear Golden Valley Residents: Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. I hope the holiday season has gotten off to a good start for you. I wanted to bring to your attention a city-wide public forum on the propased Bottineau light rail line this coming Wednesday, Nov 28, for 7:OOpm at City Hall. I strongly encourage you to attend as you will get an opportunity to hear more about the proposal and also get a chance to offer your opinion. Here's the city link to additional information on the public forum and the process in which this proposal has taken and may continue to take: http://www.aoldenvalleymn.gov/newsarchive/index.php/2012/i l[21/city-council-to-hold-nov-28-public- forum-on-bottineau-transitwav/. If you are unable to attend the public forum, I would encourage you to email me and the other City Council Members at http://www.goldenvalleymn.gov/counciljmembers.ph� and let us know how you feel. I also wanted to set the record straight on some information you may have heard on this proposal: 1. The Ciry Council wiil be considering a new resolution in the near future which authorizes the County and Met Council to go forward with an extensive study/preliminary engineering phase of a proposed light rail line (known as the Bottineau Line). This resolution authorizes the study of a specific alignment which goes through the northeastern portion of Golden Valley along the Burlington Northern/Sante Fe Line. For more information, go to http://bottineautransitway.org/. 2. This is far fram the final decision on whether this light rail line goes forward. This next study phase allows the County/Met Council to gather detailed information on the proposed line and report back to all effected cities so we may cast a final and informed decision (called Municipal Consent) within the next couple of years and determine if this is the best proposed route or if we should review other alternative routes. 3, This is not a "done deal." In addition to Municipal Consent, the state and federal governments also have to authorize millions of dollars before this projeet can go forward. When you put the entire process together, this could take another 5-10 years. 4. Concerns that have been stated by residents over the proposed alignment(ie; environmental impact, light/noise pollution, property value impacts, appropriate parking, etc.) will all be analyzed as part of the next study phase. 5. A Council Member who is opposed to the proposed resolution has been stating that the cost of this ne�ct study phase will cost $4 million. This is incorrect. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which reviews multiple proposed alignments, is costing the County/Met Council $4 million. 6. Opponents of this route continue to state that the proposed Bottineau route goes through Wirth Park and Mary Hills Nature Area. This is not correct. The proposed light rail would travel on the already established BNSF line adjacent to - not through - Wirth Park and Mary Hills Nature Area. Nevertheless, I would like to see the next study phase analyze the environmental impact to this park and open space before giving any final consent to the project.

It has taken courage to carefully weigh the interests of Golden Valley within the larger transit context and to find the D1 alternative inadequate for several reasons. Please continue to hold the line and not succumb to pressure as the only city not in favor. > > I am a public transit proponent and do not own a car. I loaked carefully at this option and found it too problematic to support. Golden Valley is simply being sacrificed to the interests of Brooklyn Center and other suburbs.There is no option for transit-oriented development. Nor is there a good solution for parking. It also bypasses North Minneapolis, where public transit is in higher demand. Giuen neighborhood resistance there,the D2 alternative is also prablematic. Study funds may be better spent on the possibility of identifying a route through an industrial corridor, rather than natural and residential areas. > I bought my home in Golden Valley because I fell in love with our urban wilderness, home to great crested flycatchers,wood ducks, rough legged hawks, barred owls,turkeys, and many more birds, animals and trees than I can name. I planned to retire in this tranquility on Zephyr Place. My house is built into the hillside, nearly hanging over the railroad. If the light rail goes through, the wildlife corridor will be cut, wetlands drained, quiet shattered every 8 minutes. I will put my home on the market. I I ask you to reject further study of the D1 alternative and encourage the county and the Metropolitan Council to use the funds to explore a third option. > Regards, > > Karen > > Karen Lehman, Director > Fresh Taste > 5555 N.

The public discussion regarding the proposed LRT line and station tonight will likely bring out both supporters and those opposed. We`re unable to attend, but want you all to know that we support you in your support of the proposal. Will we use the line? Not frequently, but we certainly will. But that's not the primary reason for our support.This isn't about us; it's about improved access to public transportation across the metro area.The proposed line and station make sense, with little disruption to our neighborhood.

You made time to listen to everybody and injected as much humor as possible. People rambled in every direction. We heard about childhood train sets, bike ramps built in weeds, and learning to ski at Wirth. We heard from few envisioning the future. It was astounding. I gave up and went home at 10:15PM. I thought later that all those attending 50 years old and older will enjoy access to the Golden Valley station when the line is done 10-15 years from now and they no longer are allowed to drive a car! I appreciate how many hours you and the council members put in on our behalf. Please stay the course,vote yes to go forward to the next step on Bottineau.

Presentation of 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program—Sue Virnig, City Finance Director Sue Virnig, Finance Director, explained that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a 5-year financing planning instrument used to identify needed capital projects and to delineate the financing and timing of associated projects. Generally, these projects exceed $10,000 in cost and require long-term financing. The CIP also identifies bond issues necessary to fund improvements and each project is brought forth for approval by the City Council. Because of its relationship with the City's Comprehensive Plan the CIP is reviewed by the Planning Commission. Waldhauser referred to the Douglas Drive project and asked Virnig to summarize the major activities in 2014-2015 when the bulk of the activities occur. Virnig referred to page 104 and explained the breakdown of the expenditures for pouglas Drive improvements. Waldhauser asked if there are any items in the CIP that are a deviation or change from recent trends and expenses. Virnig explained that 2013 market values are down 2.5% and the City is trying to improve its infrastructure, but also lessen the impact on the taxpayers by reducing the number of streets being reconstructed. Segelbaum asked about the 2012-2013 reduction in the buildings and parks sections. Virnig referred to page 96 of the CIP that explains project itemization. She discussed the transfers made in 2012 from the general fund to the park improvement fund. Waldhauser asked if the redevelopment area near Boone and Highway 55 is reflected in this CIP. Virnig stated that those improvements will be reflected in the� CIP next year: Schmidgall referred to the cable equipment replacement section of th� CIP and questioned the use of those funds.

I. Approval of Agreement with Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. for Inflow and Infiltration Inspection and program Monitoring Services Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Summary In 2006, the City completed a study regarding inflow and infiltration (I/I) into the sanitary sewer system. The work plan included in the I/I study has been approved by the City Council and ordinances have been adapted to provide for the inspections of private property. Since 2006, staff has been working with Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH) to complete private property inspections, collect data on sewer flows and groundwater, and respond to programmatic challenges and opportunities. Staff has requested that SEH provide a proposal to continue their work on the I/I program. Their scope of work includes the following areas: 1. Private Property Inspections: Since 2006, the SEH has completed 3,135 inspections.The following rates are proposed by SEH and have not changed since January 1, 2009: Residential Property: $200 per inspection Condominium Property: $200 per address Commercial Property $400 per inspection Unable to Inspect: $75 per trip 2. Long-Term Flow Monitoring: SEH provides support services and data analysis regarding the program. This data assists with program evaluation and identification of areas in the community where I/I is of significant concern. 3. SEH and Public Works staff ineet as needed to discuss inspection program concerns, challenges, and opportunities, and to discuss technical assistance on meeting MCES program requirements. Since the inception of the program, SEH and staff has endeavored to provide an inspection program with a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. While property owners have expressed concern about the requirements of sewer service inspection program, many have been complimentary about the work performed by the City's consultant. Furthermore, work performed by SEH is as needed and as directed by the Public Works Department.

Approval of 2013 Legislative Policies Prepared By Chantell Knauss, Assistant City Manager Summary For a number of years the City Council has adopted Legislative Policies in order to share local priorities with area legislators and seek their assistance in forwarding these priorities. At the November 2012 Council/Manager Meeting the Council reviewed its 2013 Legislative Policies which include reinstating the processing of passports at the DMV, seeking funding to reconstruct Douglas Drive and addressing US Highway 169 congestion. If the document adequately addresses the Council concerns, it should be approved.

C'l��'�� T ,L 1 �.�1�T �}11�1�S Presented to the City Council December 4,2012 I'alicy 1. Passports At Golden Va11ey D1�►jIV Issue The Golden Valley Department of Motor Vehicles(DMV)had processed passports since 2005 and was processing passports when the new US State Department rule on passports went into effect in November 2010.This rule prohibited new agencies from selling passports. The Golden Valley DMV re-opened July 23,2012 after being closed since April 1,2011 due to an employee theft.The City campleted internal and external audits and made the appropriate recommended internal systems changes in early June 2011.Golden Valley reported the results of these audit findings and DMV changes to the Minnesota State Auditor and requested reauthoriza- tian by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Division ofVehicle Services(DVS)to re-open. Golden Valley's DMV,however,remained temporarily closed as DVS was working to assess its own internal procedures In anticipation of the July 23 DMV re-opening this year,the City af Golden Valley cantacted the Minneapolis Passport Agency to prepare for resuming passport services offered by the Golden Valley DMV.Weeks later,the Minneapolis Passport Agency informed the City it would not be des- ignating any new passport facilities as of November 2010 and thus refused to reactivate Golden Valley's passpart services. The Minneapolis Passport Agency further denied the City's ability to re-issue passports based on proximity to the nearest DMV.This is inaccurate and should not be a basis for denial.In reality,the City of Robbinsdale DMV is more than 5�/z miles from the Golden Valley DMV,not a mile as sug- gested by the Minneapolis Passport Agency. Response The City of Golden Valley has provided the valuable service of processing passports to residents and the business community since 2005 and supports action to be re-authorized to issue and renew passports.Golden Vailey is home to world headquarters of several international corpora- tians,and each day an additional 30,000 people come into our city to work.This has created a demand for passport services in the immediate area,equating to 3/a of an employee salary to meet this expectation. This is a matter of fairness for the community and businesses of Golden Valley.City residents and those who use the DMV services should not be punished due to some short-lived activity and delays of other individuals or state agencies. ��a____w��_�,_��__.�_�_..w�rv. .� 7SOi"}Go(c�en 11�11<.y t��c3 i�t��lc��rr EI-�I(�y Mt�554 �7 7�i� ��>3-isO�t� �''� � �°� P<�g�? 1 I'oli�� 2. Dauglas I�rive Recanstruction Funding Issue Douglas Drive(CSAH 102} between Trunk Highway 55 and Medicine Lake Road is a Hennepin County Highway that is classified as an A Minor Arterial Reliever.It provides direct relief from traffic congestion on Trunk Highway 100, Douglas Drive is approximately 50 years old and is structurally absolete,deficient in bicycle and pedestrian facilities,and will become operationally deficient in the near future as traffic within the metropolitan area continues to increase. Hennepin County's Capital Improvement Plan includes reconstruction of Douglas Drive in 2016 at an estimated cost of$22 million.As a cost participant in the reconstruction projett,the City of Golden Valley will be responsible for approximately half of the project costs. Response The City of Golden Valley will pursue funding for the Douglas Drive reconstruction praject as out- lined in the attached October 1,2012 memorandum from W56 and Associates regarding"Federal Funding Opportunities for pouglas Drive:'The City seeks legislative support as an important part of securing the needed grants. ~`"`�.

US H�ghway 1 d9 Congestion Issue The City of Golden Valley is committed to finding innovative ways to improve traffic operation and safety in a responsible manner.The US Highway 169 corridor along the west edge of Golden Valley is a principal arterial that carries between 85,000 and 92,000 vehicles per day and experiences significant congestion during peak hours. Improving the capacity of the corridor will benefit vehicles on the highway and may also reduce the number of vehicl�s that use the City and County road netwarks as an alternative to the high- way due to congestion. In the current and proposed Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)State Transporta- tion Improvement Programs(STIP),there are no programmed capacity improvements for the US Highway 169 corridor between I-394 and I-694. Response Consistent with the vision of the Minnesota Go initiative,the City of Golden Valley encourages MnDOT to identify and program capacity improvements to the US 169 corridor.The City also supports planning potential improvements to be completed in conjunction with programmed maintenance efforts. ��_��..��.:�_�_�__.. 7�300�;olcler�Va(ley f2c�at�,t�alcler�Valic�y�,MN 55427 763-593 f3006 � ____�...� �__�...� ______.___._..�.--� � wse &Assx� Engineering ■ Ptanning • E�vironmentai .

I have been preparing transportation grant applications for communities within Minnesofa since 1999. I am we11- versed on current programs and funding opportunities that are available for agencies to pursue. As requested by Jeannine, I have reviewed potential federal funding sources that were provided to the city for possible use on Douglas Drive. This memorandum provides a broad overview of the transportation funding act and summarizes highway funding programs that are applicable to Douglas Drive. In addition, I have included information about the Metropolitan Regional Solicitation process and some suggestions for other potential funding sources. Overview of MAP-21 The new federal transportation act is known as MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 S' Century). This act was signed into law by President Obama on July 6, 2412. Funding far this act is for a two-year period. There are severai transportation programs that fa11 iznder fhis act. The key highway-related programs of interest include: ■ National Highway Performance Pragram(NHPP) � Surface Transportation Program{STP) ■ Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) ■ Transportation Alternatives Program{TAP) ■ Highway Safety Improvement Program {HSIP) National Highway Performance ProgLam (NHPP) This program appiies to all principal azterial roadways (Douglas Drive is a Minor Arterial roadway; TH 55 is a principal arterial roadway). The NHPP is where the bulk of funding for Miru�esota will be allocated. Funding levels are expected to increase over what they are today; however,the principal arterial network is rather large and funding will be distributed across the entire network. 'The principal arterial network includes ail of the Interstate System(I-394, I-94, Minneapolis■St.Cloud Equa!Opportunity Empioyer " H1Ezav�iveSummsiia-Caad-Me�mgaAgada�201211l-U-12\9-xettach-Menq�FtderolFwda�OpporlunitkstotDaq�tkise.doc Memorandum Federal Funding October I,2012 Page 2 etc.),all of the US Highway System(US 1b9, US 212,etc.),all of the freeway system (TH 100, TH 62, etc.)and some of the other roadways in the Trunk Highway system{TH 55,TH 7, etc.), As part of MAP-21,the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)will be developing performance measures for pavement candition, bridge condition and gerformance. Along with the performance measures,FHWA will be develaping targets that the states need to meet for the interstate system. States will be required to set performance targets for the remainder of the system. Agencies need to meet the targets for the interstate system and need to make progress towards the targets for the remainder of the system or funding can be taken from the Surface Transportation Program and dedicated to making impravements on the NHPP network. MnDOT is respansible for allocating these funds. Sur ace Transportation Program�STP� This program applies to a wide vaziety of roadways; is used to fund research; is allocated to the Transportation Alternatives Pragram; and is allocated to bridges not included as part of the Federal Aid Highway system. Funding Ievels for this pragram are expected to decrease from what they are today, If states do not meet the perfarmance targets established for the NHPP, funding can be taken from this program to bolster improvements to the NHPP. Historically, funding for projects like Douglas Drive come from this program through the Metropolitan Council's Regional Solicitation process. The solicitation process is described later in this memo. Con�estion Mitigation and Air Ouali (t�CMAQ) This program is designed to improve traffic thraughput and mobility. It has an emphasis on transit service and transit infrastructure. However, funding can be used for projects that provide signal systemization, streamline intersectians, construct high-occupancy vehicle lanes, provide non-recreational bicycle and pedestrian improvements that provide a reduction in single- occupant vehicle travel, implement an operations system, etc. Additionally, projects or programs that shift travel demand to nonpeak hours or other transportation modes, increase vehicle occupancy rates,or otherwise reduce demand through initiatives, such as teleworking, ridesharing,pricing, etc. Funding far this program in the Twin Cities area comes through the Metropo]itan Cauncil's Regianal Solicitation process. Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP� This area is new and it addresses wide umbrella of existing programs. Funding for this area is lawer than funds previously allocated for the Transportation Enhancements program. This program includes funding for enhancement,recreational trails, Safe Routes ta S�hool and otiier transportation alternative projects. Because funding levels have been decreasing Funding for recreational trails has traditionally come through the Metropolitan Council's Regional Solicitation process. Funding for Safe Routes to School has traditionally been administered by MnDOT. Memorandum Federal Funding October 1,2012 Page 3 Highwa�afetv Improvement Program (HSIP� This program applies to all pubIic roads. Funding for this program is used to correct or improve a hazardous road location or feature or addresses a highway safety prablem. The projects need to be consistent with the state's strategic highway safety plan. Funding for this program has been increased as part of MAP-21. Funding for this program for projects in the Twin Cities has traditionally come from MnDOT thraugh a competitive grant process. MnDOT has not indicated what changes they will be making to their grant process, although there will likely be some changes due to new federal requirements. Fundi�g Programs for Consideration The programs most applicable to Douglas Drive include: STP, HSIP, TAP and CMAQ. The STP program could be used to fund roadway reconstruction activities including the intersectians,the on-road bike lanes and the trail. The HSIP program could be used to fund individual intersection projects. The TAP program could be used to fund trail improvements. It should lie noted that funding for this program has been reduced significantly. There is discussion at MnDOT on how the funds far this program should be awarded. Rather than going through the Metropolitan Council, there could be a statewide solicitation or there could be significant changes in how it is awarded thraugh the Metropolitan Cauncil. WSB will be following what MnDOT decides to do. The CMAQ program could potentially be used to fund the on-road bicycle lanes. This could be challenging from a togistical view depending upon the timing of the roadway improvements. Metropolitan Cauncil Regional Solicitation Process As indicated in previous sections, much of the funding gets distributed through the Metropolitan Council via the Regional Solicitation Pracess. The Regional Solicitation is a competitive grant application pracess that is generally offered every other year. The last solicitation was offered in the spring of 2011. In theory,the next solicitation should occur in the spring/summer of 2013. However, the Metropolitan Council may have to delay the process in 2013. T'he Metropolitan Council has a request for proposai (due October 5)to reevaluate and modify the regional solicitation process in light of the updated 2030 Transportation Poiicy Plan and MAP-21. The request for proposal indicates that the contract ta reevaluate the regional solicitation shouid take six months. From that point, fihe applications would need ta be modified and sent through the Metropolitan Council for approval and then released ta applicants. This will likely take until at least the fall af 2013. Additionally,the reevaluation process could result in different types of projects being funded (greater emphasis on managing traffic, system preservation, limited roadway expansion, etc.). In sum,at this time the federal funding programs available for projects in the Twin Cities are somewhat in flux. MnDO�'and the Metropolitan Council are working together to develop a plan Memarandum Federal Funding October l,2012 Page 4 to distributed funding. WSB will be following what the Metropolitan Counci] and MnDOT are doing to implement MAP-21. We will be keeping our clients informed about funding options as information becomes available. Other Funding Options In addition to MAP-21 funding programs,the city could also consider the following: Cooperative A eement MnDOT has a cooperative agreement program for projects that are locally-initiated, but bring benefit to the Trunk Highway system. The portion of Douglas Drive between TH 55 and the I�1orth Frontage Road might be a potential candidate for this pragram. The cooperative agreement pragram has been offered annuaily. It is a competitive process. Trans�ortation and Economic Development(T�D� The TED grant has been offered twice in cooperation between MnDOT and the Department of Employment and Economic Development. Funding for transportation improvements are tied to known job growth. 'The TED grant is a competitive process. Funding from this progiam should be pursued when redevelopment opportunities (new jobs)are closer to becoming a reality and specific numbers for new jobs and the salary for those jobs are known. �G�y lA� i�.y �� . ✓ City Administration/Council 763-593-8003/763-593-8109(fax) ��.. �.�� . w ,-:, . �� ..
