Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 23, 2012 A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Chair Nelson called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those present were Members, Boudreau-Landis, Maxwell, Nelson and Planning Commission Representative McCarty. Also present were Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Member Johnson was absent. I. Approval of Minutes — September 20, 2012 Regular Meeting Boudreau-Landis noted that the wrong meeting date was used in the first paragraph. MOVED by Boudreau-Landis, seconded by McGarty and motion carried unanimously to approve the September 20, 2012 minutes with the above noted correction. I1. The Petition(s) are: 1426 Aquila Ave N Leslie Hacking, Applicant (12-10-16) Request: Waiver from Section 11.21 Single Family Zoning District (R-1), Subd. 12(E) Accessory Structure Requirements • No one detached accessory structure shall be larger than 800 sq. ft. in size. The proposed garage/workshop would be 1,096 sq. ft. in size. Purpose: To allow for the remodeling/expansion of the existing garage. Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District (R-1), Subd. 12(E) Accessory Structure Requirements • Each property is limited to 1,000 sq. ft. of accessory structure space. The proposed garage/workshop would have 96 sq. ft. more than the allowed 1,000 sq. ft. of accessory structure space Purpose: To allow for the remodeling/expansion of the existing garage. Grimes explained the applicant's request to add on to the existing 1,008 square-foot garage. He noted that the existing garage was built in three phases, the original garage, a garage addition and then a shed addition. All three phases were granted building permits by the City at the time they were built. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 23, 2012 Page 2 Also, at the time the existing garage was built, the City did not have requirements regarding the size of individual accessory structures or the total amount of accessory structure space allowed. He referred to the photos submitted by the applicant and explained that the applicant would like to flip the location of the current garage and workshop spaces and add a 4-foot "bump-out" addition onto the front of the garage space with a covered walkway in front of the workshop space. Grimes referred to the agenda and staff report and explained that the square footage listed on the documents are incorrect. The proposed garage/workshop would be 1,176 square fee# in size not 1,096 as stated and the total accessory structure space wauld be 176 square feet more than allowed, not 96 as stated. The reason for the change is that the covered walkway area was not counted in the overall square footage as it should have been. Nelson asked if th applicant would still need a variance if the proposed garage was attached to the hause. Grimes said yes, because properties are allawed 1,000 square feet of accessory structure space whether it is attached or detached. Leslie Hacking, Applicant, referred to th� illustration of the proposed garage remodel and explained her proposal to bump out the garage, add a service door and add a covered walkway that would protect her from the weather on the way from the garage to the house. She added that she is also planning on moving the location of the driveway because it currently sits right next the house which is not ideal. She noted that only one other neighbor would be able to see the garage. Nelson asked the applicant why the current size of the garage can't accommodate what they want to do. Wayne Petrie, representing the applicant, stated that if the proposed garage space was only 24 feet deep the service door they are proposing would hit the car inside the garage. Hacking added that the walls of the original garage are cinder block, with faotings, so they can't be moved. McCarty noted that the applicant could add a service door in the wall dividing the garage and workshop spaces instead of bumping the frant of the garage out 4 additional feet in order ta install a service door. Petrie said if they did that, the seruice door would still hit a car parked in the garage. McCarty stated that the door could swing into the workshop space instead. Hacking added that they would have to walk through the workshop space to get outside if the door was in the wall dividing the finro spaces. Hacking stated that another plan would be to move the back wall of the proposed new garage space in, or forward, 4 feet which would keep the structure at its original square footage, but they wouldn't be staying within the original footprint. Maxwell asked if the applicant would still need a variance if she moved the back wall forward 4 feet. Grimes said yes, because they wouldn't be in the original footprint and would be expanding the use. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals Octaber 23, 2012 Page 3 Hacking noted that the neighbor to her south has 1,114 square feet of accessory structure space. Grimes stated that he hasn't reviewed the neighboring property but he would guess that they might have built their garage prior to 2008 when the City Code was amended to allow a maximum of 1,000 square feet of accessory structure space. Hacking referred to the survey of the property and noted how far away the neighboring property is from her garage. Nelson explained that the Board has to consider several criteria when reviewing a variance request including circumstances unique to the property and she is not sure what the unique circumstances are in this case. Hacking said she thinks it is unique that the driveway is located only 2 feet away from the house. Petrie added that the size of the lot is unique for the neighborhood. Nelson asked when the home was built. Petrie said he thinks the house was built in 1913. Boudreau-Landis asked Grimes about the intent of the ordinance restricting the size of accessary structures. Grimes stated that the City didn't want garages to be larger than the houses; some people had numerous accessory structures and the City Council at the time felt that 800 square feet is large enough to build a three-car garage. He stated that another issue was the height of accessory structures and oftentimes large garages mean there might be an illegal home occupation oecurring. � Nelson asked if the reason the applicant can't shrink the size of the garage is that it is constructed of cinder block and has footings. Petrie said yes, the original garage won't be moved because it is all cinder block and has frost footings. Grimes reiterated that the applicant has the ability to keep or re-build the garage its current size in the same location. Boudreau-Landis asked if the applicant could construct an overhang without posts in front of the proposed workshop area. Petrie said he didn't think the roof could cantilever that far without posts or brackets. Boudreau-Landis asked if the applicant is allowed to reduce the size of the structure. Grimes said yes, they could reduce the structure to less than 800 square feet or replace it to its current size of 1,008 square feet. Boudreau-Landis showed the applicant another possible design that would have a similar look. Nelson opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Nelson closed the public hearing. McCarty said he doesn't see the uniqueness with this property. He said what member Boudreau-Landis came up with would be a good alternative and would only require the variance to allow it to be larger than 800 square feet in size, which he would support. Maxwell said he likes the applicant's proposal but he can't find anything that could be considered unique with this property. Boudreau-Landis agreed that the proposal looks Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 23, 2012 Page 4 amazing and it would add to the neighborhood, but he feels there is a way to get something very similar even if it adds more to the cost of the project. He also agreed that he would be supportive of a variance to allow the structure to be larger than 80Q square feet in size. Hacking asked about shifting the back wall of the proposed new garage space forward 4 feet and still constructing the 4-foot bump out area in the front of the garage. Maxwell suggested granting a waiver a�lowing the applicant to shift the garage wall 4 feet forward. McGarty said he would be in favor of granting the first variance request to allow an accessory structure to be larger than 800 square feet in size and allowing the applicant to keep the same 1,008 square foot size of the structure as it exists. Petrie asked if that would include the proposed walkway. Grimes noted that a 30" overhang could be built. Petrie said a 30" overhang wouldn't cover the width of the walkway. MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by Boudreau-Landis and motion carried unanimously to amend the language in the first variance request to state that the proposed garage/workshop would be 1,176 square feet in size. MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by Boudreau-Landis and motion carried unanimously to approve a variance request to allow an accessory structure to be larger than 800 square feet in size. The proposed garage/workshop space is allowed to remain 1,008 square feet in substantially the same footprint as the existing garage/workshop. MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to amend the language in the second variance request to state that the proposed garage/workshop addition would have 176 square feet more than the allowed 1,000 square feet of total accessory structure space. MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to approve a variance to allow the proposed garage/warkshop to have 8 square feet more than the allowed 1,000 square feet total for a total of 1,008 square feet of total accessory structure space in substantially the same footprint as the existing garage/workshop.

He moved that the Cammission,during its contract negotiations with Laura Jester,include the option of the MWMO hiring Ms.Jester so she would work through the MWMO as the BCWMC's Administrator or include the option of the MWMO housing Ms.Jester.

A. Second Cansideration of CenterPoint Energy Franchise Fee Agreement Amendment Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Ron Nims, Public Works Project Coordinator Summary At Council/Manager meetings held on September 11, October 9 and November 13, 2012, staff presented a plan for a franchise fee on CenterPoint Energy. On December 18, 2012 the Council accepted comments from the public at their first consideration of Ordinance 492. If approved, the proceeds from the fee will assist in addressing the funding shortfall for infrastructure projects. Some of the current unfunded capital improvement projects are listed below (not necessarily in priority order): 1. Reconstruction of Zane Avenue from Golden Valley Road to TH 55 North Frontage Road 2. Reconstruction of Lindsay Street from Zane Avenue to Lilac Drive 3. Reconstruction of Golden Hills Drive from Colorado Avenue to Turners Crossroad 4. Winnetka Avenue intersection improvements from Harald Avenue to TH 55 5. Intersection improvements on the south side of TH 55 at Douglas Drive 6. Reconstruction of the intersection at Glenwood Avenue and Ottawa Avenue North 7. Updating the existing trail and walk system to meet current Americans with Disabilities Requirements 8. Construction of new walk and trail facilities identified on the City's Trail and Walk Priority Map 9. Implementation of the pavement preservation component of the Pavement Management Policy (overlays, etc.) 10. Douglas Drive (TH 55 to Medicine Lake Road); as needed to assist with any shortfall in funding that the project may experience With the review and advisory assistance of CenterPoint Energy staff, the following fee schedule has been developed: Flat Monthly Rate Class Rate Residential $2.00 Firm A $3.50 Firm B $22.50 Firm C $22.50 Dual Fuel A $206.00 Dual Fuel B $206.00 Large Volume Dual Fuel $206.00 The classifications shown as Firm A through C and Dual Fuel A through Large Volume Dual Fuel are commercial and industrial rates based on their usage and ability to switch to an alternate fuel use when demand for natural gas is high. The above rate structure amounts to approximately $447,000 in yearly revenue for the City. As was done with the Xcel franchise agreement, and seems to be custamary, the ordinance also states the City will not collect permit fees from CenterPoint for their future work within the City's right-of-ways. The revenue received in past years from permit fees is approximately $11,000 per year. The ordinance provides for na required sunset on the fee, but includes provisions for review every two years. The following schedule provides an approximate timeline for implementation of the proposed ordinances: Adoption of Franchise Agreement with CenterPoint Energy May 2003 Council/Manager Meeting- CenterPoint Franchise Fee Discussion September 11, 2012 Council/Manager Meeting- CenterPoint Franchise Fee Discussion October 9, 2012 Council/Manager Meeting- CenterPoint Franchise Fee Discussion November 13, 2012 Publication of City Newsletter with Public Hearing for New Ordinance Nov/Dec 2012 Publication of News Release December 5, 2012 Council Meeting- Public Hearing far First Consideration of Proposed December 18, 2012 Ordinance Council Meeting- Public Hearing for Secvnd Consideration of Proposed lanuary 2, 2013 Ordinance Publication of Adopted Ordinance (effective on lanuary 11, 2013) January 10, 2013 Commencement of CenterPoint Franchise Fee Collection (9Q days after April 2013 CenterPoint Notification) Attachments • Ordinance No. 492, Amending Ordinance No. 279, 2nd Series, Implementing a Gas Energy Franchise Fee on CenterPoint Energy Minnesota (3 pages) Recommended Action Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 492, Amending Ordinance No. 279, 2nd Series, Implementing a Gas Energy Franchise Fee on CenterPoint Energy Minnesota on second consideration.

Second Consideration of Amendments ta Xcel Energy Electric Franchise Ordinance Prepared By Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works Ron Nims, Public Works Project Coordinator Summary While reviewing the proposed franchise fee ordinance for CenterPoint Energy at the September 11, 2Q12 Council/Manager meeting, the Council directed staff to prepare revisions to the current Xcel Energy Franchise fee provisions that limit the use of funds to the Douglas Drive project and establishes a sunset date for the fee. The Council accepted camments from the public on the first consideration of the proposed ordinance at the December 18, 2012 Council meeting. Based upon Council direction, the following is a summary of recommended revisions to the Xcel Energy Franchise Ordinance: 1. Ordinances 447 and 456 regarding the electric franchise fee have been incorporated and restated so there would only be one ordinance to consult on the electric franchise fee. 2. References to Douglas Drive has been removed and replaced with designated infrastructure costs. 3. The sunset provision for the franchise fee has been removed. Council will continue to review this fee and others on an annual basis during its yearly budget process. The following is a schedule and process for ordinance adoption.

ORDINANCE NO. 493, ZND SERIES ELECTRIC FRANCHISE ORDINANCE CITY OF G(JLDEN VALLEY, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNES�TA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 394, 2ND SERIES BY AMENDING AND RESTATING ORDINANCE NO. 447, 2ND SERIES AND ORDINANCE NO. 456, 2ND SERIES RELATING TO THE FRANCHISE FEE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GRANT TO NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY, D/B/A XCEL ENERGY, A MINNESOTA CORPORATION, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, PERMISSION TO CONSTRUCT, OPERATE, REPAIR AND MAINTAIN IN THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY, MINNESOTA, AN ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION LINES, INCLUDING NECESSARY POLES, LINES, FIXTURES AND APPURTENANCES, FOR THE FURNISHING OF ELECTRIG ENERGY TO THE CITY, ITS INHABITANTS, AND OTHERS, AND TO USE THE PUBLIC WAYS AND PUBLIC GROUNDS OF THE CITY FOR SUCH PURPOSES. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council hereby amends Section 9 and Exhibit A of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series by completely amending and restating Ordinance 447 2nd Series and Qrdinance 456 2nd Series in their entirety as follows: SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE. 9.1 Purpose. In order to defray costs of infrastructure projects in the City, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to impose a franchise fee on those public utility companies that provide electric services with the City of Golden Valley pursuant to the other provisions of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series including this Section 9. If the City wishes to further modify the franchise agreement or the franchise fees discussed in Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series, and this Section 9, the Gity shall notify Company in writing of such intent. Promptly thereafter City and Company shall negatiate in good faith mutually acceptable terms, conditions and amount of such fee. If City and Company are unabte to agree on any term or condition of the fee, all disputes shall be resalved pursuant to Section 2.5 of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series. The parties do not waive hereby, any rights they have under law. Any changes to the franchise fee must be made by ordinance. 9.2 Franchise Fee Statement. Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series and this Ordinance set forth the terms and conditions under which Xcel shall collect an electric franchise fee from customers located within the City. 9.3 Payment and Fee Design. The franchise fee shall be payable to the City in accordance with the schedule attached as Exhibit A. This is an account-based fee. In the event that an entity covered by this ordinance has more than one meter at a single premise, but only one account, only one fee shall be assessed to that account. If a premise has two or more meters being billed at different rates, the Company may have an account for each rate classifieation, which will result in more than one franchise fee assessment for electric service to that premise. If the Company combines the rate classifications into a single account, the franchise fee assessed to the account will be the largest franchise fee applicable to a single rate classification for energy delivered to that premise. In the event any enti#ies covered by this ordinance have more than one premise, each premise (address) shall be subject to the appropriate fee. In the event a question arises as to the proper fee amount for any premise, the Company's manner of billing for energy used at all similar premises in the City will control. 9.4 Periodic Fee Adjustment. City has estimated that the franchise fee will pravide the City with approximately $630,000.00 in annual revenue ("Estimate"). If actual revenue collected fails to meet or exceeds this Estimate for any reason, or if the City reasonably determines that the Estimate is not sufficient to meet designated infrastructure costs, upon notice ta the Company, the City may increase or decrease the fee from time to time to achieve the revenue necessary to cover such costs; provided, however, that any such change shall maintain the same flat fee proportion among customer classifications and shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the gross revenue received by Campany from the sale of electricity to retail customers within the corporate limits of the City. The fee may not be changed more often than annually. This right of Periodic Fee Adjustment relates to revenues sufficient to meet designated infrastructure costs and does not relate to any additional franchise fee or fee for another public purpose as allowed by law that the City may seek to impose. In that event, the City and Company shall emplay Section 9 of City Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series to establish such fee pursuant to a separate ordinance. 9.4 Surcharge. The City recognizes that the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission allows the utility company to add a surcharge to customer rates to reimburse such utility company for the cost of the fee and that Company will surcharge its customers in the City the amount of the fee. 9.5 Right of Way Permit Fees Waiver. Beginning the date the Company begins collecting franchise fees from customers in the City until the City gives notice to Company of Gity's desire to impose both franchise fees and require permit fees pursuant to chapter 7 of the City Code ("Permit Fees"), City waives any and all Permit Fees the City would otherwise have the right to impose on Company. If the City intends to require both Permit Fees and franchise fees from the Company, the City shall give the Company sixty (60) days written notice of such intent before charging Permit Fees. Company does not hereby waive its right to object to a City withdrawal of this waiver of Permit Fees, and reserves all rights under law. Notwithstanding the above Permit Fee waiver, Company shall remain subject to all other requirements of chapter 7 of the City Code not superseded by the specific terms of Ordinance 394, 2nd Series and this Ordinance. 9.6 Record Support for Payment. Company shall make each payment when due and, if requested by the City, shall pravide at the time of each payment a statement summarizing how the franchise fee payment was determined, including information showing any adjustments to the total surcharge billed in the period for which the payment is being , made to account for any uncollectibles, refunds or error corrections. 9.7 Enforcement. Any dispute, including enforcement of a default of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series, including this Section 9 will be resolved in accordance with Section 2.5 of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series. 9.8 Effective Date of Franchise Fee. Notwithstanding the effective date of this Ordinance and notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the franchise, the effective date of the fee collected under this Ordinance is the later of ten (10) days after the publication or after the sending of written notice enclosing a copy of this adopted Ordinance upon Company by certified mail. Fee collection under this Ordinance will commence in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section. 9.9 City Use of Franchise Fees Collected by the Company. The City shall use the fees collected by Company only for infrastructure costs and for no other purpose. For purposes of Ordinance No. 394, 2nd Series, including this Section 9, infrastructure costs shall include City expenditures, including those financed by bonds, for any and all design and construction, including all associated project administration, legal, and related costs, maintenance, repair, improvement to, relocation of, or replacement of facilities, including City or privately-owned utility facilities for which customers in the City would otherwise be required to pay; and acquisition or improvement of rights-of-way or other public ground.
