2. Consideration of Resolution No. 12-01 Finding that the Redevelopment Plan
for the Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area and the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and Renovation)
District No. 1 Conform to the General Plan for the Development and
Redevelopment of the City, as Amended (Amended 2008 Comprehensive
Plan Update)
Andre reminded the Commissioners that the former bowling alley property and the
adjacent property were recently reguided and rezoned to High Density Residential. Since
the rezoning and reguiding of the properties the HRA has been considering establishing a
redevelopment area and a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) area in order to obtain the funds
needed for public improvements including the slip access ramp on Highway 55 at Decatur
and the pedestrian access assuming the Tiburon project moves forward. She referred to a
map of the area and explained the boundaries of the proposed Redevelopment Project
Area and the Renewal and Renovation TIF District. She explained that part of the
statutory process requires the Planning Commission to consider the plans and determine
if they are compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 26, 2012
Page 2
Segelbaum asked about the history of other various TIF districts and questioned if funds
are being used for this proposed district that could possibly be used elsewhere. Andre
explained that the City is not limited to a certain number of TIF districts but there are
certain criteria and requirements that must be met when establishing a TIF district. She
reviewed the two existing TIF districts and agreed that a TIF district does divert taxes to a
specific area or project rather than contributing to the entire City. Segelbaum asked if the
HRA is considering any other areas or if this is the only area being considered because of
the proposed Tiburon project. Andre stated that no other areas are currently under
consideration for TIF. She explained that there is only increment to capture if a
development is increasing the value and taxes of the property. Waldhauser noted that
there are a number of public improvements that are needed to facilitate the Tiburon
development and that is one of the reasons the City is involved. Andre agreed and added
that the Tiburon developer has not asked for any assistance. The proposed use of funds
is for public improvements that the HRA feels would be beneficial and would make the
area more desirable.
Kluchka asked about the difference between the Redevelopment Area and TIF District
area and why they are different sizes and different parcels. Andre, stated that the
Redevelopment Area is where development can happen and the TIF District includes the
properties that meet the statutory requirements for blight. New development in the TIF
District will increase the taxes received and the increment is used to pay for the
improvements. Kluchka asked if the funds captured inthe TIF District could be used
elsewhere in the Redevelopment Area Andre stated that most of the funds would be
used in the TIF District however some could be used outside of the TIF District area.
McCarty asked for an explanation of how Tax Increment Financing works and questioned
if a definition of TIF should be included in the definition section of the Plan. Andre stated
that a district is created and in that district a "frozen base" of taxes is established, which
are the taxes currently being paid before any improvements, then when there is new
development, the "frozen base" is subtracted from new amount of taxes being paid and
the difference in tax receipts is used to fund improvements in that district. She added that
she thinks the definition of TIF is presumed in the report but that she could forward the
suggestion to Springsted, who prepared the report.
Kisch referred to page 5 in the Springsted report and questioned why there are
discrepancies in the estimated costs listed in different sections. Andre explained the
difference is the present value versus the amount paid out over time due to interest, all of
which is estimated at this point.
McCarty referred to page 4 in the Springsted report and said that there seems to be many
references to the proposed Tiburon project and that it wouldn't occur without TIF but the
September 10 Planning Commission minutes state that the developer would move
forward without TIF financing. Andre stated that the developer moving forward is
contingent on City approval and that City approval is contingent on there being an
environment that would be conducive to this development, which includes improved
safety for vehicles and pedestrian access.

Kluchka asked what specifically the Planning Commission is supposed to look for in the
Plans that make them consistent or not with the Comprehensive Plan. Andre stated that
in this case it is mainly consideration of the zoning and if the proposed Tiburon would be
compatible with the zoning district and the Comprehensive Plan. Kluchka disagreed and
said that his understanding of what the Planning Commission is being asked to consider
is if the Redevelopment District and TIF District are consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and that it has nothing to do with the Tiburon project. He added that it is also his
understanding that the Tiburon could be built without TIF but the safety improvements
that the City wants to do couldn't be done without TIF. Andre agreed that the Tiburon
developer may want to move forward without TIF, however the City Council will decide if
the Tiburon project is suitable without using TIF to provide necessary improvements.
MOVED by Kisch and seconded by Kluchka to adopt Resolution 12-01 finding that the
Redevelopment Plan for the Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area and the TIF
Plan (Renewal and Renovation) for District No. 1 conform to the General Plan for the
development and redevelopment of the City as amended (2008 Comprehensive Plan
Update).
Segelbaum said he thinks it is difficult to state that the Plans are not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan however he questioned if this is where the City wants to focus the
funds that are being devoted to this, potentially at the detriment to other areas. Kisch
added that money isn't being diverted from other areas it's money that doesn't exist
unless development happens to bring the tax base value forward. It is very targeted and
involves a specific development raising the tax base providing funds to pay for the
needed improvements.
Kluchka asked if there were specific areas defined for redevelopment during the
Comprehensive Plan amendment process. Grimes stated that there were several
discussions identifying areas where changes could occur. He added that in this case, the
properties were rezoned and redesignated for higher density that couldn't happen without
the necessary infrastructure.
Waldhauser read the proposed Resolution and the Planning Commission vote was
unanimous to adopt Resolution 12-01 finding that the Redevelopment Plan for the
Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area and the TIF Plan (Renewal and
Renovation) for District No. 1 conform to the General Plan for the development and
redevelopment of the City as amended (2008 Comprehensive Plan Update).

apartment building.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 26, 2012
Page 4
Hogeboom stated that the Preliminary PUD Plan for this proposal was approved by the
City Council on October 16, 2012 so the applicant is now starting the Final PUD approval
process. He referred to a location map and reminded the Commission that the applicant is
proposing to construct a six -story, 142 -unit, market -rate apartment building on
approximately 2.7 acres. He stated that the properties are zoned and designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map for High Density Residential and staff feels that the
proposal is justified as a PUD. He showed the Commission renderings of the proposed
building and explained that since the Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary
Plans the applicant has incorporated the Commissioners comments including: an
additional sidewalk connection from Golden Valley Road to the front door of the building,
the addition of bicycle racks, modifications to the amount of impervious surface and
coordinating their landscaping with the City's Highway 55 Lilac Planting initiative. He
stated that there has been a traffic study done and that the City Engineer has reviewed
ways to improve the slip ramp on Highway 55 at Decatur. He referred to his staff report
and said staff is recommending approval of this proposal subject to the following
conditions:
1. The plans prepared by UrbanWorks Architecture', dated October 25, 2012, submitted
with the application shall become a part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from Deputy Fire
Marshal Ed Anderson to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development dated
November 6, 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
November 20, 2012, shall become a part of this approval.
4. A Park Dedication Fee of $16,300 shall be paid by the developer prior to approval of
the Final PUD Plat.
5. All signs on the property must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code.
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or
laws with authority; over this development.
7. Final PUD approval will be dependent upon the City's approval and effectuation of a
tax incrementfinancing district within the project area to fund the necessary public
infrastructure requirements, to be installed by the City, including among other items,
street realignment,, pedestrian improvements, street lighting, sanitary sewer lining, and
overhead power line burial.
Waldhauser asked if the Planning Commission should be predicating their decision on the
assumption that the Metropolitan Council will approve of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment regarding these properties. Hogeboom said the Metropolitan Council has
indicated that the amendment will be approved.
McCarty questioned why the developer has to pay park dedication fees prior to the
approval of the Final PUD Plat and asked what happens with that money if the Final PUD
Plat is not approved. Hogeboom stated that the City Code requires that park dedication
fees in the amount of 1 % of the estimated land value be paid prior to Final Plat approval.

McCarty referred to the finding listed in the staff report regarding development including
necessary public infrastructure improvements is not expected to occur solely through
private development within the reasonable foreseeable future and asked if that refers to
this specific project because that's already been shown to be incorrect. Hogeboom
stated the project could not likely occur without the necessary public infrastructure
improvements. McCarty said he takes exception to how this proposal is being presented
to the Planning Commission. It is being presented like this project wouldn't go forward
without TIF and he is not sure that is true. Waldhauser asked if that finding could be
removed from the approval. Hogeboom said the language came from the City Attorney
and it is ultimately the Council's decision to approve this proposal with or without TIF.
Kluchka asked if the Commission could focus on the changes that have been made to
the proposal since the Preliminary Plan, with the condition regarding TIF, has already
been approved by the City Council
Steve Dunbar, Applicant, Tiburon 55 LLC, referred to a site plan and highlighted the
items they changed on the plans since the Planning Commission reviewed the
Preliminary PUD plans. He explained that they've added the suggested sidewalk to the
front entrance, reduced the amount of surface parking to 69 parking spaces, increased
the width of the fire lane to 20 feet, lessened the impact of the masonry wall and added
lilac plantings along the south property line. He showed the Commission several
different elevations and views of the proposed building.
Waldhauser asked if there could be additional landscaping added to the north side of
the site in order to help screen the parking lot. Grimes stated that the area along the
north side of the property is city -owned right-of-way and that staff would have to review
any plantings in that area,
Segelbaum questioned if the reduction in the amount of parking could cause other
problems, or insufficient parking. Dunbar said he is comfortable with the proposed
amount of parking.
Kisch referred to the amount of impervious surface and asked for clarification because
the plans show that there is 67% of impervious surface, but his calculations add up to
80%. Noah Bly,;UrbanWorks Architecture, said he would double check the impervious
surface calculations. Schmidgall stated that there will also be subterranean storm water
management which to him is an acceptable alternative. Kisch agreed but said he would
still like clarification of the impervious surface calculations.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to
comment, Waldhauser closed the public hearing.
Schmidgall said he thinks this is a nice asset to the community and is supportive of the
proposal. Segelbaum and Kisch agreed.
Kluchka noted that one issue being considered in the creation of the TIF district is the
sanitary sewer line. He noted that most property owners have to pay for sanitary sewer

repairs and questioned if it is fair to use tax dollars in this project if repairs are required.
Grimes noted that any reference to sanitary sewer issues in the TIF plan refer to city -
owned sewer lines, not privately owned lines.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing - Final PUD Plan —The Tiburon Apartments
PUD No. 111— Tiburon 55, LLC, Applicant
Background and Description of Proposal
Tiburon 55, LLC is seeking approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Permit for the
construction of a market rate apartment building to be located at 9130 and 9220 Olson Memorial
Highway. Under this proposal, the 2.7 acre site would contain a six -story, 142 -unit apartment
building. The apartment would feature a mix of studio apartments, one bedroom apartments, one
bedroom -plus -den apartments and two bedroom apartments. The Preliminary PUD Plan was
approved by the City Council on October 16, 2012.
The 2.7 acre subject property was recently re -guided for long-term High Density Residential uses in
the Comprehensive Plan, and was also recently rezoned "High Density R-4 Residential." These
changes in land use designations and controls were requested by the City Council to accommodate
this project. The City Council, acting in its role as the City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA), has requested that staff focus redevelopment efforts in this area. The HRA has established a
"Renewal and Renovation Area" which will help to facilitate road improvements, pedestrian access
and property rehabilitation for the area along Golden Valley Road between Boone Avenue and
Mendelssohn Avenue.
Justification for Consideration as a PUD
Section 11.55 of City Code states that the PUD process is an optional method of regulating land use in
order to permit flexibility in uses allowed, setbacks, height, parking requirements and number of
buildings on a lot. Staff has determined that this application qualifies as a PUD because it achieves the
following standards established in City Code:
• Achieves a high quality of site planning, design, landscaping, and building materials which
are compatible with the existing and planned land uses.
• Encourages preservation and protection of desirable site characteristics and open space and
protection of sensitive environmental features including steep slopes, trees, scenic views,
water ways, wetlands and lakes.
• Encourages creativity and flexibility in land development.
• Encourage efficient and effective use of land, open space, streets, utilities and other public
facilities.
• Allow mixing land uses and assembly and development of land to form larger parcels.
• Encourage development in transitional areas which achieve compatibility with all adjacent
and nearby land uses.
• Achieve development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
• Achieve development consistent with the City's redevelopment plans and goals.
In order to be approved as a PUD, the City must be able to make findings which are specifically
described in City Code. These findings are incorporated into staff's recommendation to the
Planning Commission.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for the Tiburon Apartments PUD No. 111,
considering the following findings of fact:
• The City Engineer has studied the proposed development and the public infrastructure
needed to support the proposed development, and the current public infrastructure is
insufficient for the use described in the project plans submitted for the planned unit
development.
• The Planning Department has reviewed the project plans and indicated that the proposed
development including the necessary public infrastructure improvements is not reasonably
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonable foreseeable
future.
• 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.
• The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of the site's
characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features.
• The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use of the land for multi -family residential.
• The PUD plan results in development compatible with adjacent commercial uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
• The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety and
general welfare of the people of the City.
• The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provisions.
And subject to the following conditions:
1. The plans prepared by UrbanWorks Architecture, dated October 25, 2012, submitted with the
application shall become a part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from Deputy Fire Marshal Ed
Anderson to Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development dated November 6, 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 November 20, 2012,
shall become a part of this approval.
4. A Park Dedication Fee of $16,300 shall be paid by the developer prior to approval of the Final
PUD Plan.
5. All signs on the property must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code.
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.
7. The Developer shall work to enhance the Landscaping Plan to include more landscaped areas
and, if possible, less impervious surfaces. The Developer shall coordinate landscaping efforts
with the City's Highway 55 Lilac Planting initiative.
8. To the extent possible, the Developer shall improve the pedestrian connection from Golden
Valley Road to the front door of the building.
9. Final PUD approval will be dependent upon the City's approval and effectuation of a tax
increment financing district within the project area to fund the necessary public infrastructure
requirements, to be installed by the City, including among other items, street realignment,
pedestrian improvements, street lighting, sanitary sewer lining, and overhead power line burial.

Subject: Final PUD Plan Review—The Tiburon Apartments
(9130 & 9220 Olson Memorial Highway)
Public Works staff has reviewed the Final PUD Plans for The Tiburon Apartments. The proposed
subdivision is located at 9130 & 9220 Olson Memorial Highway in the northeast quadrant of
the intersection of Trunk Highways 55 and 169. The redevelopment consists of combining
two existing commercial properties to construct a six -story, 142 -unit, market -rate apartment
building. The comments contained in this review are based on the plans submitted to the City
on October 25, 2012.
A PUD Development Agreement will be drafted by the City which will outline the conditions and
costs associated with the development.
Site Plan
This redevelopment will consolidate two commercial properties to create one lot for the
approximately 225,000 square foot apartment building. The two vacant commercial buildings
include a former bowling alley and an office that will be demolished as part of the project. The
new apartment building has an enclosed parking garage below the units (at ground level) that will
provide 142 parking spaces, as well as two surface parking lots that will provide 69 spaces. The
two existing driveways onto Golden Valley Road will be removed and replaced with one main
entrance near the center of the site.
A Right -of -Way Permit is required for driveway work and for all excavations and obstructions in
public right-of-way. Additionally, the Developer or Contractor will be required to obtain the
appropriate permits for all activities associated with demolition and removals prior to
commencing work.

Traffic and Access Management
The existing street system in the vicinity of this development is adequate to accommodate the
new vehicle trips generated by the development. However, the intersection of Golden Valley
Road, Decatur Avenue and Trunk Highway 55 has existing operational issues that are currently
being evaluated. While adequate capacity is present at the intersection, modifications are being
considered to maximize safety and efficiency.
The developer is proposing to construct a twenty -foot -wide access road for fire protection
around the building. Although alternative options for providing fire protection to the building
were considered by the developer, and would result in less impervious surface on the site, the
access road being proposed in the Final PUD Plans is acceptable to the City.
The City's Comprehensive Plan shows proposed sidewalks along Mendelssohn Avenue, Golden
Valley Road, Decatur Avenue, and 7th Avenue from Plymouth Avenue to Boone Avenue. The
development is adjacent to this route and therefore the Developer will be required to construct a
new public sidewalk and pedestrian facilities on the south side of Golden Valley Road, along the
entire length of the property. This includes the construction of a six-foot concrete walk, curb
ramps, and traffic control meeting City Standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines. Future City improvement projects in this area will include sidewalk construction to
provide a more complete pedestrian system in this portion of the City.
The Developer will construct the pedestrian facilities and the City will permanently own and
maintain the facilities. Because the sidewalk and pedestrian facilities are public improvements,
the Developer will be required to post a letter of credit in the amount specified by the City for
construction of the improvements. These costs will be detailed in the PUD Development
Agreement drafted by the City.
Preliminary Plat
The property proposed for redevelopment was previously unplatted and there are no recorded
easements running in favor of the City. The site survey indicates that the north property line is
the centerline of Golden Valley Road and references County Board Proceedings as providing an
"easement" over the north 33 feet. The Developer submitted a revised preliminary plat dated
November 12, 2012, which adequately shows the dedication of public right-of-way over the north
33 feet of the property.
The City's Subdivision Ordinance requires 10 -foot drainage and utility easements on the plat
boundaries and 12 -foot easements centered on all interior lot lines. The preliminary plat for this
development shows the required easements consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance.
Utility Plan
The City's sanitary sewer and water systems that provide service to these properties have
adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed redevelopment. The Developer has
demonstrated that extension of services is possible as shown on the Utility Plan.
G:\Developments - Private\Tiburon 9130 & 9220 Olson\Tiburon_Final PUD review.docx
According to the City's record drawings, there are three sewer laterals serving the existing
property. The Developer proposes to remove all existing laterals from the buildings to the main
located in Golden Valley Road. The Utility Plan submitted for permitting must show the existing
utilities identified for removal. A new six-inch PVC sanitary sewer lateral will be constructed to
serve the apartment building. The sewer service lateral will be owned and maintained by the
property owner, consistent with City Code.
City record drawings indicate there are three water services serving the existing property. The
Developer proposes to remove all existing water services from the buildings to the main located
in the boulevard south of Golden Valley Road. The plans include the construction of one four -inch
domestic water service, one six-inch fire protection line, and two six-inch hydrant leads. The shut-
off valves for the domestic service and the fire service are located in the public right-of-way and
will be owned and maintained by the City. The domestic service, the fire service, and the hydrant
services and auxiliary valves will be owned and maintained by the property owner. A
Maintenance Agreement pertaining to the hydrants and auxiliary valves must be signed and
recorded prior to final plat approval.
The Developer or Contractor will be required to obtain the appropriate Sewer and Water Permits
from the City for the removal and installation of the sanitary sewer and water services. In
addition, permits may be required from MCES and MnDOT for work within their respective
easements and rights-of-way.
A City Right -of -Way Permit is required for the obstruction or excavation of City streets and right-
of-way. The plans show that Golden Valley Road will be open cut in several locations; therefore, a
Right -of -Way Permit is required for the work. In addition, because the City overlaid Golden Valley
Road with new asphalt in 2012, an increased level of restoration is required for this roadway.
According to City standards, cutting a pavement less than five years old requires a full -width
pavement mill and overlay at a length determined by the City Engineer. In this case, the mill and
overlay will extend from the west lot line to the east lot line. The City will perform the work at the
Developer's expense following the utility and driveway installation. The cost of restoration will be
determined by the City and the Developer will be required to post a financial deposit in an
amount sufficient to cover the improvements. The costs will be detailed in the PUD Development
Agreement drafted by the City.
The City has an Inflow and Infiltration (1/1) Ordinance that requires the sanitary sewer service to
be brought into compliance when developing or subdividing a property. The Developer is
proposing to remove the existing sewer laterals to the main. The new lateral will require an 1/1
permit and inspection upon construction. The new lateral must achieve compliance with the 1/1
Ordinance prior to occupancy of the building. In order to ensure that the existing laterals are
removed, the Developer will be required to include a security in the required letter of credit in an
amount determined by the City for the work required to achieve compliance with the City's 1/1
Ordinance. These costs will be detailed in the PUD Development Agreement drafted by the City.

Stormwater Management and Grading
The property being redeveloped is located within the Main Stem sub -district of the Bassett Creek
Watershed and is therefore subject to the review of the Bassett Creek Watershed Management
Commission (BCWMC). This project is considered a redevelopment with a proposed decrease in
impervious surface area. Upon approval of the Final PUD Plans by the City, the BCWMC will
review the plans for compliance with its water quality standards.
The Developer has proposed stormwater quality treatment facilities and runoff rate control as
part of this redevelopment. This includes an underground pipe gallery for rate control and
volume reduction (through infiltration), rooftop rate control on the upper level roof, and sump
catch basins placed upstream of the pipe gallery to capture sediment and phosphorus. In
addition, the Developer's engineer has indicated that approximately 10,000 square feet of "green
roof" is included in the design of the lower level roof of the building.
The City has reviewed the design of the storm sewer system, the underground pipe gallery, and
the "green roof" and recommends the following revisions prior to submittal to the BCWMC:
1. Add more access manholes to the underground pipe gallery. In general, there should be at
least two more access manholes evenly spaced along the pipe gallery and manholes at
each pipe connection to the pipe gallery.
2. Upsize all storm sewer pipes smaller than 12" in diameter (excluding the two roof leads)
to a minimum of 12" in diameter for maintenance purposes.
3. Include the design details and specifications for the green roof areas. Clearly show on the
plans the locations of all green roof areas, including catch basins, subsurface drains, and
piping.
4. Add SAFL baffles to all proposed sump storm sewer manholes to maximize sediment
removal prior to the underground infiltration device.
The Developer will be required to enter into a Maintenance Agreement for the stormwater
quality treatment facilities onsite. The agreement will be drafted by the City and must be signed,
prior to approval of the final plat.
This redevelopment is subject to the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance. A City
Stormwater Management Permit will be required before the start of construction activity and will
be issued after approval from the BCWMC is received.
Tree Preservation Plan and Landscape Plan
This development is subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance and Minimum Landscape
Standards. The City Forester has reviewed the plans and inspected the site. The Developer has
proposed the removal of significant trees and has provided a plan for mitigation. Therefore, a
Tree Preservation Permit is required for this redevelopment. The City Forester will review the
Tree Preservation Plan and Landscape Plan in more detail at the time of permit review. As part of
the PUD Development Agreement, the Developer must provide to the City the estimated cost for
G:\Developments - Private\Tiburon 9130 & 9220 Olson\Tiburon_Final PUD review.docx 4
landscaping shown in the plans. The Developer will be required to include 125% of the estimated
cost of landscaping in the letter of credit provided to the City. These costs will be outlined in the
PUD Development Agreement drafted by the City. The landscape plantings must survive a two-
year warranty period and will be inspected by the City two years after project completion.
Summary and Recommendations
Public Works staff recommends approval of the Final PUD Plans for The Tiburon Apartments,
subject to the comments contained in this review. These comments are summarized as follows:
1. The Developer must enter into a Maintenance Agreement for the maintenance of the
private hydrants and auxiliary valves, as discussed in this review.
A Right -of -Way Permit will be required for the excavation of Golden Valley Road and the
street must be restored to City standards prior to the City's mill and overlay, as discussed
in this memorandum.
3. The property must become compliant with the City's Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance
prior to occupancy of the new building.
4. Revisions to the storm sewer system, underground pipe gallery, and green roof must be
completed prior to submittal to the BCWMC for project approval.
5. The Developer must enter into a Maintenance Agreement for the stormwater quality
treatment facilities onsite, as discussed in this review.
6. The Developer and its contractors must obtain the appropriate permits prior to
construction activity, as discussed above.
7. The Developer must enter into a PUD Development Agreement, provide a letter of credit,
pay all fees, and post all securities and/or deposits as determined necessary in this or
subsequent reviews. In specific, the Developer must:
a. provide a letter of credit to the City as a guarantee that the following items will be
completed, as discussed in this review:
i. Sidewalk and pedestrian improvements
ii. Inflow/Infiltration compliance
iii. Landscaping installation and warranty
b. Post a financial deposit for the City to perform the restoration (mill and overlay) of
Golden Valley Road as discussed in this review.

The Tiburon Apartments
Final PUD Application
NARRATIVE STATEMENT
10.25.12
The development of The Tiburon Apartments will meet the purpose and other provisions of Golden Valley's
PUD Ordinance in the following manner:
Fostering More Efficient and Effective Land Use
Currently occupied by vacant, single -story structures, the redevelopment of the site into a dynamic multi-
story residential community would represent a far more efficient and effective land use than is currently
employed. The project would not only increase population and building density, but also improve the quality
of design, landscaping and building materials employed in the area.
Enhancing Visual Character
The replacement of two non-descript structures with a more prominent and attractively designed new
building will undoubtedly enhance the visual character of the neighborhood. Clad in an assorted blend of
contemporary finishes, the new structure would be highly visible from both Highways 55 and 169, helping to
ground the intersection and serve as an orienting landmark within the area. Additionally, the building's
multitude of balconies and large green roof deck will create dynamic visual activity, adding vertical vibrancy
to the public realm.
Providing Greater Housing Diversity
Designed to meet the needs of young professionals who work in the area and are part of the community, the
project would help to meet an increased demand in quality rental housing, provide a more diverse selection
of housing opportunities, foster a greater population of "Gen Y" households, and encourage closer live/work
proximities within the City.
Supporting Economic Development
An investment in the area and increase in residential density would serve to support the economic growth of
area businesses and encourage continuing development in the area. The site's proximity to a wide variety
employers, restaurants, and recreational venues suggest that it is well-positioned to foster the development
of an engaging live/work/play environment within the community
The Tiburon Apartments
Final PUD Application 10.25.12
OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS
Refuse Disposal Plans
All refuse including recyclable and non-recyclables will be stored in the trash room located on the parking
level (level 1). A trash chute accessible from the middle area of each level of the building terminates in this
trash room. Management staff will move trash receptacles to the east side of the building for trash pickup at
the necessary intervals. All trash will be sorted per the recycling requirements of the City of Golden Valley.
Si na e
The signage of this development will abide by the city ordinances outlined in Section 4.20 of the Golden
Valley City Code. Signage will fall under the categories of address signage, identification signage, or
monument signage. The sign design, style, locations, size, height and materials as well as their context
within their surroundings can be found within the architectural drawings in this submittal.
Exterior Lighting
The exterior lighting locations and types can be found on the Site Lighting and Photometric Plan within the
submitted drawing set. Building mounted exterior lighting will be used on three elements at the crown of the
building. See building elevation within the drawing set.
Population
The population is estimated to be 163 and 212 adults. The target market demographic is young
professionals with the western suburban Twin Cities metro area. See 'Providing Greater Housing Density'
section above.

Proposed Use of Property
The proposed project, The Tiburon Apartments, concerns the development of a six -story, 142 -unit, market -
rate apartment building on a 2.57 acre site near the intersection of Highway 55 and US Highway 169.
Comprised from a diverse mixture of studio, one bedroom, one bedroom + den, and two bedroom dwelling
units, the facility would also offer a generous complement of resident amenities, including a theatre, fitness
area, club room and outdoor swimming pool/recreation area. As currently designed, the facility provides 142
enclosed and 69 surface parking spaces.
The building's main entrance and enclosed parking garage are to be located off of Golden Valley Road at
ground level and supported by a precast concrete structure. The above residential levels would be
constructed with a type IIIA wood frame and capped by a flat roof. It is expected that the building's exterior
facades would be clad in an assorted blend of contemporary finishes, including brick and fiber cement
siding; punctuated by a rhythm of large window openings; and articulated by bands of private balconies
accompanying the individual residential units.
To best maximize the high visibility of the building from multiple viewpoints and to enhance its prominent
positioning along Highway 55, all facades will receive a high level of aesthetic consideration.
The approximately 225,000 square -foot, U-shaped building would be situated on its site so that the main
entrance fronts Golden Valley Road. Two on-site surface lots are planned to accommodate visitor parking.
It is intended that the grounds surrounding the site be conscientiously illuminated and aesthetically
landscaped through a variety of plantings and organic materials.
Zoning Variances
Request variance to allow for Maximum Height to be 72 ft. and 6 stories versus 60 ft. and 5 stories
In order to develop market rate apartments at this location, it is necessary to construct the building at six -
stories. As ground floor units are very difficult to lease, the building's lowest level is most effectively utilized
as enclosed parking. Only the very highest point of the building, the stair and elevator shafts, will reach 72 ft.
The flat roof is located at 65 ft. and parapets at 67-72 ft.
The proposed building height will in no way detrimentally affect access to light and air from the surrounding
properties; cast shadows on residential properties; or obstruct views to adjacent businesses, landmark
buildings or significant public spaces.
Request variance to allow for Lot Coverage to be 67% impervious surfaces versus 60%
In order to provide the required amount of parking and a fire access road constructed of "an all-weather
driving surface of asphalt or concrete cable," an increase in the amount of impervious surface is necessary.
This 67% calculation of impervious surfaces includes the portion of the green roof / patio that is hard-scape
(concrete). It does not include the portion of the green roof / patio that is soft-scape (grass).
Underground retention tanks would be utilized as a means of sensitively managing the site's storm water
from impervious surfaces.
Request variance to allow for 69 Parking Stall Dimensions to be 9 x 18 ft. minimum versus 9 x 18.5 ft.
and
Request variance to allow for Drive Aisle Width to be 22 ft. minimum versus 24 ft. minimum
Due to necessity to provide a fire access lane around the building, the most effective and efficient use of
land requires that the exterior surface parking stalls and lanes be slightly reduced. This minor adjustment
results in a 6 in. reduction in the depth of parking stalls, and a 2 ft. reduction in the drive aisle of the surface
parking lot.
Request variance to allow for 3 Compact Parking Stalls, (dimensions to be 8 x 16 ft. minimum)
To most efficiently utilize the available floor space in the enclosed parking garage, 3 of the 142 parking
spaces would need to be designated as compact stalls. 2 stalls with the dimensions of 8 x 15 ft., and 1 stall
with the dimensions of 9 x 16 ft. These measurements fall well within the accepted conventions for compact
parking space size (7.5 x 10 ft. minimums). The remaining 139 spaces in the garage would meet the 9 x
18.5 ft. requirements.
Request variance to allow Parking and Monument Sign to be located within North Front Yard Setback
Consistent with the effective and efficient use of land on the site, the parking would need to be located with
the 25ft. minimum setback on the north Front Yard. Additionally, the only structure that would be located
within this setback would be the Entry Monument Sign. For size and specifics about this sign, see drawing
A901 in this submittal.
Request variance to allow for south Front Yard Setback to be 20 ft. minimum versus 25 ft. minimum
The unusual nature of the site creates a condition in which the property has two front yards and no rear yard.
From the perspective of the building's front yard along Golden Valley Road, the setback falls readily within
zoning standards. However, from the Highway 55 perspective, the property line's erratic profile creates
various intervals that would necessitate a 20 ft. minimum dimension. Despite this reduced setback, the
property's abutment to Highway 55 would continue to provide a generous buffer between the furthest edge
of the building and the adjacent land use.
Request variance to allow for Monument Sign to be located with north Drainage & Utility Easement
See description in the above variance regarding the entry monument sign.

FINAL -DRAFT MEMORANDUM
TO: Joseph S. Hogeboom, City Planner
CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY
FROM: Craig Vaughn, P.E., PTOE, Senior Associate
Emily Gross, Engineer
DATE: October 26, 2012
SUBJECT: TIBURON DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC STUDY
GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
INTRODUCTION
As requested, SRF Consulting Group has completed a traffic study for the proposed Tiburon
residential development located in the northeast quadrant of TH 169 and TH 55 in the City of
Golden Valley (see Figure 1: Project Location). The main objectives of this study are to review
existing operations within the study area, evaluate traffic impacts to the adjacent roadway
network and recommend any necessary improvements to accommodate the proposed
development. The following memorandum provides the assumptions, analysis and study
recommendations offered for consideration.

In addition to the peak hour intersection turning movement counts, observations were completed
to identify roadway characteristics and current traffic operations within the study area
(i.e. roadway geometry, posted speed limits, traffic controls and queuing). Currently, TH 55 is a
four -lane divided roadway with turn lanes and a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour (mph).
Boone Avenue/General Mills Boulevard is a two-lane roadway, which expands to a four -lane
roadway near TH 55. To the south of TH 55, General Mills Boulevard has a posted speed limit of
40 mph, and to the north of TH 55, Boone Avenue has a posted speed limit of 30 mph. The other
study roadways (7th Avenue, Golden Valley Road, and Decatur Avenue) are two-lane minor
collector roadways with 30 mph posted speed limits.
The intersections of TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue and Boone Avenue/Golden
Valley Road/7th Avenue are currently signalized while the remaining study intersections have
side -street stop control. Existing geometrics, traffic controls, and traffic volumes within the study
area are shown in Figure 2.
Intersection Operations Analysis
An operations analysis was conducted to determine how traffic is currently operating at the study
intersections. All intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic and the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) software. It should be noted that where unsignalized intersections are in
close proximity to signalized intersections, the signalized intersections can have a significant
affect on the overall operations of the unsignalized intersections. To account for this impact,
Synchro/SimTraffic results were reported for all of the study intersections, including
unsignalized intersections, since this microscopic model accounts for queuing and spillback from
adjacent intersections.
Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS) which indicates how well an
intersection is operating. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. The
LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle, which corresponds to the delay threshold
volumes shown in Table 1. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation and LOS F indicates an
intersection where demand exceeds capacity. LOS A through D is generally considered
acceptable by drivers in urban metropolitan areas.

For side -street stop controlled intersections, special emphasis is given to providing an estimate
for the level of service on the side -street approach. Traffic operations at an unsignalized
intersection with side -street stop control can be described in two ways. First, consideration is
given to the overall intersection level of service. This takes into account the total number of
vehicles entering the intersection and the capacity of the intersection to support those volumes.
Second, it is important to consider the delay on the minor approach. Since the mainline does not
have to stop, the majority of delay is attributed to the side -street approaches. It is typical of
intersections with higher mainline traffic volumes to experience high levels of delay (poor levels
of service) on the side -street approaches, but an acceptable overall intersection level of service
during peak hour conditions. Side -street delays of approximately 90 seconds or less is generally
considered acceptable by drivers in urban metro areas and typically does not warrant mitigation.
Results of the existing operations analysis shown in Table 2 indicates that all study intersections
are currently operating at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak
hours, with existing traffic controls, geometric layout, and signal timing. As shown, the side -
street approach of Golden Valley Road at TH 55 is currently experiencing a LOS F with an
average delay of 64 seconds during the p.m. peak hour. Existing signal timing, obtained from
MnDOT was used for the existing analysis.

Indicates an unsignalized intersection with side -street stop control. Overall LOS is followed by the worst approach LOS. The
delay shown is for the approach with the highest level of delay.
Although the overall intersections operate at an acceptable level of service, significant queues
were observed in the traffic simulation and verified in the field. During the a.m. and p.m. peak
hour at the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersection, 95th percentile queues
along the eastbound approach extend approximately one-quarter mile, approaching the
TH 55/TH 169 interchange during the a.m. peak hour. In addition, the 95th percentile queues on
the northbound approach extend approximately 1,000 feet during the p.m. peak hour. To address
the queuing issues during the peak periods potential improvements may include signal timing
optimization or additional turn lane capacity for the northbound right -turn movement. However,
to accurately assess the impacts of the proposed development, no improvements were assumed
for the future build conditions.
Joseph S. Hogeboom, City Planner October 26, 2012
City of Golden Valley Page 6
During the p.m. peak hour at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection, southbound queues
extend through the Decatur Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection during approximately 30
percent of the peak period. As a result, the 95th percentile queues at the Decatur Avenue/Golden
Valley Road intersection extend approximately 120 feet and 110 feet in the eastbound and
southbound directions, respectively.
At the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersection a number of individual
movements operate at LOS F during the peak periods including the left turns on all approaches,
the northbound and southbound through movements and the northbound right turn. Furthermore,
at TH 55 and Golden Valley Road, the southbound right -turn movement currently operates at a
LOS F during the p.m. peak hour. Detailed delay and queuing reports are provided in the
appendix.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development is located along Golden Valley Road in the northeast quadrant of
TH 169 and TH 55. The proposed site plan consists of a five -story apartment building with 142
rental units and a single access point onto Golden Valley Road.
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
Construction of the proposed development is expected to be completed in the year 2014.
Therefore, traffic forecasts for build conditions were developed for year 2015 build conditions
(one year after construction). These forecast volumes take into account background growth on
the adjacent roadway system and estimated trips generated by the proposed development.
To determine the general annual background growth rate, historical ADT volumes and the City
of Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan (2008-2018) were considered. Based on this review,
historical ADT volumes have declined or remained the same in the area since 2001 (based on
MnDOT AADT volumes). However, to provide a conservative estimate, an annual growth rate
of one-half percent was applied to the existing peak hour volumes to develop year 2015
background traffic forecasts.
To account for traffic impacts associated with the proposed development, trip generation
estimates for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours and on a daily basis were developed. Trip generation
estimates for the proposed apartment complex were developed using the ITE Trip Generation
Handbook, 8th Edition. Table 3 shows the expected trip generation for the proposed
development.

Based on the trip generation estimates, the proposed development is expected to generate 72 a.m.
peak hour trips, 88 p.m. peak hour trips and 944 daily trips. The peak hour trips were distributed
through the study area based on the directional distribution shown in Figure 4. The directional
distribution was developed using a combination of existing travel patterns and historical ADT
volumes within the area. The combination of background traffic and trips generated by the
proposed development, which represents the year 2015 build traffic volumes, is shown in
Figure 5.
YEAR 2015 BUILD CONDITION
To determine impacts to the existing roadway network for the year 2015 build traffic forecasts, a
detailed traffic operations analysis was conducted. The study intersections were analyzed using a
combination of Synchro/SimTraffic and the HCM. Results of the year 2015 operations analysis
with the proposed development is shown in Table 4. The results indicate that all study
intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and
p.m. peak hours.

Although the study intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels of service, queuing
issues identified under existing conditions will continue at the TH 55/General Mills
Boulevard/Boone Avenue and TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersections, but are not expected to
significantly increase due to the proposed development.
Southbound queues at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection will extend into the Decatur
Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection approximately 50 percent of the p.m. peak hour
(current conditions — 30 percent of the p.m. peak hour). The eastbound and southbound queues at
the Decatur Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection will extend an additional 75 to 100 feet
(3 to 4 vehicles), respectively. It is recommended that the City continue conversations with
MnDOT regarding access from Golden Valley Road to TH 55 due to the continual delays and
queuing. If delay and queuing issues are considered unacceptable, closing the access or reducing
the access to right -in only may improve traffic operations. Detailed delay and queuing reports
can be found in the appendix.

YEAR 2015 BUILD CONDITION WITH ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT
The City of Golden Valley has identified two parcels adjacent to the proposed development that
could redevelop by year 2015. Single family homes are currently located on the parcels;
however, these two parcels could redevelop as office. Based on city zoning requirements, and
discussions with City staff, the maximum square footage allowable on these parcels was assumed
to be approximately 75,000 square feet of office space.
Based on the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 8th Edition a 75,000 square -foot office building
will generate 116 a.m. peak hour trips, 112 p.m. peak hour trips and 826 daily trips. These trips
were distributed to the roadway network to determine the potential increase in year 2015 build
traffic volumes and potential traffic operations impacts.
Results of the traffic operations analysis indicate that the 2015 build volumes (background traffic
and the proposed apartment development) plus the office redevelopment trips significantly
impacts the delay and queuing at the study intersections, particularly the queuing and delays at
the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersection. This result further identifies the
need to modify the access at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection. Southbound queues at
the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection are expected to continue to increase, extending
through the Decatur Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection approximately 65 percent of the
time (twice as much as existing conditions). This will result in significant queues at the Decatur
Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection, extending approximately 355 feet and 730 feet in the
eastbound and southbound directions, respectively.
If the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection is closed or reduced to right -in only, vehicles
would be diverted to the Boone Avenue/Golden Valley Road/7th Avenue and TH 55/General
Milles Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersections. To account for the increase in vehicles, signal
timing optimization should be considered at the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue
intersection to reduce vehicle delay and queues. However, since the adjacent office building
development is a current proposal, it is recommended that further operational analysis be
completed once a proposal is put forward for this potential office parcel.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for your
consideration:
Results of the existing operations analysis indicate that all study intersections currently
operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with
existing traffic controls, geometric layout, and signal timing. Although the overall operations
are acceptable, specific movements experience higher levels of delay or queuing issues.
o Eastbound queues at the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersection
extend approximately one-quarter mile, approaching the TH 55/TH 169 interchange
during the a.m. peak hour.
o Northbound queues at the TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue intersection
extend approximately 1,000 feet during the p.m. peak hour.

o During the p.m. peak hour, southbound queues at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road
intersection extend through the Decatur Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection
approximately 30 percent of the time. As a result of this spillback, queues at the Decatur
Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection extend approximately 120 feet and 110 feet in
the eastbound and southbound directions, respectively.
• The proposed apartment development consists of 142 rental units and is expected to generate
72 a.m. peak hour trips, 88 p.m. peak hour trips and 944 daily trips.
• Results of the year 2015 build operations analysis indicate that all study intersections will
continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak
hours. Although the study intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels of
service, queuing issues identified under existing conditions will continue at the
TH 55/General Mills Boulevard/Boone Avenue and TH 55/Golden Valley Road
intersections, but are not expected to significantly increase due to the proposed development.
o Southbound queues at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection will extend into the
Decatur Avenue/Golden Valley Road intersection approximately 50 percent of the p.m.
peak hour (current conditions — 30 percent of the p.m. peak hour).
■ It is recommended that the City continue conversations with MnDOT regarding
access from Golden Valley Road to TH 55 due to the continual delays and queuing. If
delay and queuing issues are considered unacceptable, closing the access or reducing
the access to right -in only may improve traffic operations.
• In addition to the proposed apartment development, the City of Golden Valley has identified
two parcels adjacent to the proposed development that could redevelop by year 2015 as
office space. Based on city zoning requirements, and discussions with City staff, the
maximum square footage allowable on these parcels was assumed to be approximately
75,000 square feet of office space.
o Results of the traffic operations analysis indicate that the 2015 build volumes
(background traffic and the proposed apartment development) plus the office
redevelopment trips significantly impacts the delay and queuing at the study
intersections.
■ The potential office redevelopment trips further identify the need to close or reduce
access at the TH 55/Golden Valley Road intersection.
■ However, since the adjacent office building plans have not been submitted and
therefore the exact building size is unknown at this time, it is recommended that an
additional analysis be completed when the plans for redevelopment have been
confirmed.
