The meeting began at 6:30 pm in the Council Conference Room.
2Q12 Comprehensive Annual Financial Statements
Bill Lauer from the auditing firm Malloy Montague Karnowski Radosevich & Ca. was in
attendance to review the 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Management
Report and Special Purpose Audit Reports. He stated that they have issued an
unqualified, "clean" opinion on the City's financial statements.
Mr. Lauer reviewed highlights from the Management Report and noted that one on-going
finding is the limited segregation of duties in certain areas due to the small size of the
City's office staff.
Bylaws and Resolution Continuing the Envision Connection Project Executive
Board
Tom Burt explained that staff has drafted a new resolution continuing the Envision
Connection Project Executive Board along with updated bylaws per Council direction at
the December 11, 2012 Council/Manager meeting. The Cauncil discussed the proposed
resolution and bylaws.
After discussion, the Council consensus was that the Board's charge will be complete by
December 2014. They also agreed that they would like to appoint three more people to
the Board, change the members' terms because the Board's charge will be complete in
2014 and that the chair of the Board can be elected by the Board and does not have to be
the Mayor. Burt stated that the resolution and bylaws will be considered at the next regular
Council meeting.
Receipt of 2012 Annual Report— Open Space and Recreation Commission
Open Space and Recreation Commission Chair Jerry Sandler was in attendance to review
the Commission's 2012 annual report.
The Council discussed the status of the Brookview Park design process and the public
involvement in that process. They also discussed consideration of a dog park, how to
further embrace the Step-to-It program, and various potential grant opportunities that the
City could consider.
Metro Municipal Agreement Program
Jeannine Clancy discussed the Minnesota Department of Transportation's (MnDOT)
Metro Municipal Agreement Program which provides funding for construction projects that
are developed and administered by local agencies and provides a benefit to both the local
Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
June 11, 2013 — Page 2
community and the trunk highway system. She explained that two areas have been
identified for application consideration. The first area is the intersection of Winnetka
Avenue and Trunk Highway 55. The estimated cost for this project is approximately
$1,300,000. The MnDOT agreement may provide up to $702,000 with the balance being
paid for by the City using local State Aid Funds in addition to a potential offset if done in
coordination with CenterPoint Energy's project.
The second area is the intersection of Country Club Drive/Douglas Drive and Trunk
Highway 55. The estimated cost for this project is $500,000. The City will be requesting
$300,000 from MnDOT with the remaining $200,000 being paid for by using the Douglas
Drive reconstruction funding sources and potential local State Aid Funds.
The Council Consensus after discussion was to consider a resolution of support at the
next regular Council meeting.
2012 Pavement Management Program
Jeannine Clancy referred to a recent neighborhood meeting held by members of the City
Council in the Welcome Avenue neighborhood. This area was rehabilitated as part of the
2012 Pavement Management Program. At that meeting there were concerns expressed
by several residents related to issues near their properties. She stated that staff welcomes
residents' concerns but there may be a difference of opinion on whether the contractor
met their abligations or not.
The Council discussed several of the complaints, the assessment process, and the
driveway replacement process. After discussion the consensus of the Council was that it
would be helpful if staff communicated with residents in Pavement Management areas to
let them know that a number of punch list items are followed up on in the spring after the
street reconstruction is finished.
A. Paisley Lane Concrete Curb and Gutter
Jeff Oliver explained that staff received a complaint pertaining to a section of concrete
curb and gutter in front of a resident's house on Paisley Lane that was part of the 2010
Pavement Management Program. He explained that the issue is scaling of the concrete
caused by over finishing, excess water or by a chemical in the concrete that wasn't mixed
properly. He added that the concrete scaling is not considered to be a structural defect
and that staff will monitor the situation throughout the year to determine if the condition
has worsened or if other action will be necessary. The Council directed staff to continue
communicating with the homeowner on their findings as they monitor the situation.
Low Maintenance Mowing Areas
Jeannine Clancy provided an update on the low maintenance mowing proposal. She
explained that based on the direction of City Council, the size of the sample area was
reduced and an open house was held in April. AI Lundstrom added that staff started the
low maintenance mowing program at the end of May in the three locations previously
identified.
Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
June 11, 2013 — Page 3
Council Member Pentel stated that allowing the low maintenance mowing areas to go
natural will take a long time and questioned if the City should cansider hiring a company to
do a native restoration of the areas instead. Lundstrom clarified that staff is not proposing
that there be no maintenance in the identified areas, rather the areas will be mowed three
to four times per year and maintained in a more natural state.
After discussion, the consensus was to have staff continue the low maintenance mowing
of the three identified areas.
Strengthen Housing Maintenance Code
Council Member Scanlon asked that this item be placed on the agenda for discussian
because she receives many calls regarding property maintenance issues and she would
like to know how the Housing Maintenance Code can be strengthened and how the City
can provide better follow-up on maintenance issues.
The Council discussed health and safety issues, the upkeep of foreclosed homes and the
possibility of hiring an additional person or summer interns to help with housing
maintenance issues. Burt discussed the current Housing Maintenance Code procedures,
the costs involved in hiring another person and the possibility of increasing the City's
rental license fees. He also stated that staff is considering using the International
Maintenance Code rather than the City's current Housing Maintenance Code.
After discussion Burt stated that he would have staff generate a report regarding the
number of foreclosures in the Gity. He added that he would also provide the costs involved
in hiring an additional person to help with housing maintenance issues.
Board/Commission Vacancies
Tom Burt distributed a list of board/commission vacancies and a list of applicants available
to fill them. The Council discussed the applicants that they have already interviewed. After
discussion the consensus of the Council was to appoint Bill Flannery to the Human Rights
Commission.
Availability of Council/Manager Meeting Audio Recordings Online
Council Member Scanlan asked that this item be placed on the agenda for discussion.
Tom Burt stated that if the Council direction is to put audio recordings of Council/Manager
meetings online he recommends that the budget include installing the proper audio
equipment in the Council Conference Room so the sound quality is good enough to put
online. He noted that another way to make the Council/Manager meetings available on
line is to hold the Council/Manager meetings after the regular Council meetings in the
Council Chambers where there is already a cable crew and the proper equipment.
The Council discussed the location of the Cauncil/Manager meetings and the potential
costs involved in installing the proper equipment. Burt stated that he would have staff work
on getting quotes on the costs involved in upgrading the Council Conference and bring the
quotes back to a future Council/Manager meeting.

Role of City in Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Campaign
Mayor Harris stated that the next steering committee meeting for the Beyond the Yellow
Ribbon Campaign will be held on June 12. He stated that the goal of the meeting is to
discuss what cities roles will be in the campaign. The Council discussed what Golden
Valley's role could be including bringing various groups together that offer services to
veterans and passing resolutions or supporting legislation that support veterans. After
discussion the Council consensus was that Mayor Harris and Gouncil Member Clausen
would participate in the Steering Committee meetings. They also noted that Environmental
Commissioner Lynn Gitelis has said she is interested in participating as well.
Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at Council Meetings
Steve Schmidgall asked that this item be placed on the agenda for discussion. He
expressed his discomfort in saying the Pledge of Allegiance at City Council meetings. The
Council discussed whether or not they would like to continue saying the Pledge at City
Council meetings. After discussion the Council consensus was that they would like to
continue saying the Pledge at City Council meetings.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 pm.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit (CUP) -- 6124 Olson
Memorial Highway — Auto Repair/Wheel Alignment in the Industrial Zoning
District— CU-134
Applicant: Jeff M. Forss DBA The Alignment Guy
Address: 6124 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To allow for an Auto Repair/Wheel Alignment business in the
Industrial Zoning District.
Angell explained that the applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to
operate an auto repair/wheel alignment business at 6124 Olson Memorial Highway which
is zoned Industrial. He stated that the exterior of the building will not be changing and that
the applicant is not proposing to do engine repair or fluid changes. He reviewed the ten
factors that the City must consider when reviewing a Conditional Use Permit request and
said that staff is recommending approval of this request.
Segelbaum referred to the land use designation and the zoning in this area and noted
that it is the same area that the City has been considering rezoning. He asked what
changes the City has been contemplating and how this proposal fits in with plans for that
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Page 2
area. Angell stated that the zoning in the area is being studied, however existing uses in
the area would be allowed ta remain even if the properties were to be rezoned.
Segelbaum asked if parking is an issue. Angell said staff feels that there is plenty of
parking available.
Waldhauser asked about the type of signage proposed. Jeff Forss, Applicant, stated that
he would just need a small sign so people can find his space. Waldhauser asked about
the hours of operation. Forss said his hours are generally 7 am ta 6 pm daily and some
Saturdays.
Kluchka asked who owns the property. Forss stated that a representative is in
attendance.
McCarty asked the applicant why he chose Golden Valley. Forss said that it is the perfect
space for his business. The space is larger than his current space, it's easy to get to, it is
within his budget and there is adequate parking.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Colin Quinn, Colliers International, representing the owner of the property, Welsh
Partners, stated there is a large mix of tenants in this building and that the proposed use
is suitable for this type of a small bay industrial building. He noted that the applicant has a
lot of support for his business and that this building would be a long term home for the
applicanYs business.
Phil (no last name or address given), said he has known the applicant for a while and he
is a technician he can trust. He said he would like to see the applicant find a place that is
stable and in a central location since his customers come from all over the Twin Cities.
Kevin McCarthy, Minneapolis, said he knows the applicant personally and professionally.
He said he is socially and community engaged and really goes above and beyond the
average business owner.
Dr. Charles Kim, University of Minnesota, stated that trust is a big issue and something
that is important to him and he really trusts the applicant. He said the applicant's business
is done mostly through word of mouth and through his roots in the community.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Segelbaum said he thinks the proposal satisfies the ten factors the Planning Commission
considers when reviewing a Conditional Use Permit application.
MOVEQ by Baker, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of a Conditional Use Permit at 6124 Olson Memorial Highway to allow for an
auto repair/wheel alignment business in the Industrial zoning district subject to the

3. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment— Adding Section
11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" —ZO00-91 (Continued Item)
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider the addition of Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" to
the Zoning Chapter of the City Code
Angell reminded the Planning Commissioners that they tabled this item at their May 13,
2013 meeting. He reviewed the changes made to the ordinance based on the discussion
from that meeting.
Waldhauser referred to Subdivision 3(A)(2) and the language regarding non-flush solar
systems not extending more than three feet above the surFace of the roof and asked if
that requirement is due to safety issues. Angell said yes, it has to do with safety and wind
issues.
Waldhauser referred to Subdivision 4(F) regarding installation and asked if the term
licensed contractor means a general contractor or an electrical contractor. Angell said he
believes "licensed" means an electrician license. Grimes added that a general contractor
could install the panels but an electrician would need to do the electrical work.
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(E) regarding setback requirements and stated that
five feet seems like a small setback for solar energy system that might be quite large.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 8, 2013
Page 4
Waldhauser noted that five feet is the same setback requirement for all accessory
structures. Grimes agreed and added that a solar energy system would alsa count
against the amount of impervious surface coverage allowed. Kluchka asked if the five foot
setback would be measured from the pole or from the outer perimeter of the system.
Grimes said it would be measured from the outer perimeter. Kluchka suggested that be
clarified to the ordinance language
Baker referred to Subdivision 3(D) regarding a maximum allowed height of 10 feet and
stated that that might be too restrictive. Angell stated that the language regarding height
follows Minneapolis's ordinance and the Minnesota Solar Challenge suggested language.
Waldhauser added that a 10-foot high pole could be screened.
Baker stated that he doesn't think it's appropriate to count solar energy systems against
the amount of impervious surface allowed because they are not on the ground. He
suggested language be added ta state that these systems are not considered to be
impervious surface because he doesn't want this ordinance to be too restrictive.
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(A)(3) and asked about the definition of"rooftop
equipment." Angell stated that rooftop equipment refers to flush and non-flush mounted
systems and everything that entails.
Segelbaum questioned why screening is discussed in Subdivision 4(A) and in Subdivision
3(A)(3) and suggested the language be combined. Angell said the language in
Subdivision 3(A)(3) could be removed and that it could remain in Subdivision 4(A).
Kluchka opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Baker questioned if a definition for"Solar Gardens" is needed. Kluchka questioned what
the language "grid connected subscriber" means. Segelbaum said he thinks it means that
people are sharing electricity but they are still "on the grid." Baker questioned if the
definition for "Solar Gardens" would be just as effective without using the words "grid
connected subscriber." Kluchka agreed the definition sounds confusing and suggested it
be changed. Angell said he would provide a better definition.
McCarty referred to the definition of"Non-Flush Mounted Solar Systems" and suggested
the word "pitch" be changed to the word "angle."
Boudreau-Landis referred to Subdivision 3(A)(2) which states that non-flush mounted
solar systems shall not extend more than three feet above the surface of a roof and
questioned if that is adequate for a flat-roof commercial building or if it would be too
restrictive. Angell explained that that language was modeled on St. Paul's ordinance and
the Minnesota Solar Challenge language. Waldhauser added that if the system is taller, it
would likely have to be structurally stronger and tied in to the building differently with
added expense.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 8, 2013
Page 5
McCarty asked if solar energy systems would count against the 1,000 square feet of
accessory structure space allowed on each property. Waldhauser stated that it would be
more permissive to use pervious surFace requirements rather than to use accessory
structure requirements. Kluchka said he thinks using the accessory structure
requirements for solar energy systems is a good place to start. Grimes agreed that
massing and impervious surface issues could be further studied.
Segelba�m referred to Subdivision 3(C) and stated that the first use of the word energy
should be removed.
Boudreau-Landis stated the Subdivision 4(C)(2) regarding compliance is not needed
because compliance is already covered in Subdivision 4(B).
Baker questioned if anything will be lost by removing Subdivision 4(E) regarding systems
not having more than a 10Q kilowatt capacity.
Boudreau-Landis stated the word "required" in Subdivision 4(G) should be removed.
McCarty said he wants consistency in the language throughout the ordinance and
suggested the following changes: delete the words "building mounted" from Subdivision
3(A), change the word "must" to "shall" in Subdivision 3(A)(5), delete the word "all" in
Subdivision 3(D), change the word "must" to "shall" in Subdivision 3(A)(E), delete the
word "all" in Subdivision 4(B), delete the word "the" in Subdivision 4(D), reword
Subdivision 4(F) to read "Solar Energy Systems shall be installed by a licensed
contractor" and delete the words "required" and "all" from Subdivision 4(F)(G).
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Boudreau-Landis and motion carried unanimously
to recommend approval of the addition of Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" to the
Zoning Chapter of the City Code with the changes discussed.
--Short Recess--

Grimes explained that the City Council has asked the Planning Commission to provide an

could also include items of interest for future study and trends in planning and
development. Kluchka added that his intent is to bring the Commission's priorities and

Dale said they are in the process of upgrading the concession stand and hope to
add batting cages, scoreboards and field lighting in the future.
Mattison asked Dale to explain the scheduling and how lights would benefit.
Dale said by having lights, they could start later in the day and go later, which
would allow them more time to practice and the ability to stagger the days fields
are used.

sponsorships from last year with about 24 signs across the three fields.

mostly from concessions, tournaments and the paver program. He also said they
will be hosting a wiffle ball tournament again this year, which will contribute to
their revenue.

Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Summary
At the July 2, 2013 City Council meeting, the Council approved a motion to extend the submission

Towers at West End PUD No. 107. The extension was subject to four conditions. Conditian No. 3
requires that City staff would report back to the City Council 60 days after the July 2, 2013
approval about whether or not Duke was demonstrating that it was making efforts to work with
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) about locating a permanent lift station for
the construction of I-GV-461 Reliever on The Towers at West End site. If City staff found that
Duke was making efforts to work with the MCES,the final 120 days of the extension would be
approved by the City Council. If effort was not being made, the City Council could revoke the
extension beyond 60 days.
Public Works staff has been invalved in meetings and has been monitoring correspondence
between MCES and Duke regarding the placement of the lift station and associated infrastructure
needed for the construction of I-GV-461 Reliever. Based on the discussions that are underway,
staff believes that efforts are being made by the MCES and Duke to site the lift station on the

Summary
At the August 13 Council/Manager Meeting the Council discussed the potential of allowing the
Three Rivers Park District to conduct cooperative programming and planning for Mary Hills and
Rice Lake Nature Areas and the adjacent Sochacki Park in Robbinsdale. The Council directed staff
to prepare a letter of support to explore cooperative options and determine if there is a mutually
beneficial arrangement to tap into the Three Rivers Park District to assist in its management.

Three Rivers Park District Board of Commissioners
Three Rivers Park District

Plymouth, MN 55441
Dear Commissioner Freeman:
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss potential cooperative programming and planning for
Mary Hills and Rice Lake Nature Areas and the adjacent Sochacki Park in Robbinsdale. We
understand that Three Rivers Park District provides recreational opportunities on a regional
basis and has a limited presence in the first tier suburbs. We appreciate your willingness to
examine the potential of our large park areas as regional assets.
The wooded and wetland areas spanning Mary Hills and Rice Lake Nature Areas in Golden
Valley and the adjacent Walter Sochacki Park in Robbinsdale provide nearly the acreage of the
regional parks in many of the suburban areas. Along with a variety of recreational trails, wildlife
and vegetation, this area also demonstrates how nature is reclaiming an old construction fill
site. It is prized as a quiet refuge hidden in a developed area with many opportunities to view
wildlife and explore away from the noise and activity found in most urban parks.
We understand there may be a variety of cooperative options, including Joint Powers
arrangements, Cooperative Programming agreements, or even cooperative grant applications.
We are interested in exploring all of these options to determine if there is a mutually beneficial
arrangement in which our natural settings can be highlighted and the Three Rivers Park District
resources tapped to assist in management of this large area.
On behalf of the City Council, we look forward to future discussions with your team and
exploring options.
Sincerely,
Shep Harris
Mayor

4. A. Continued Pubtic Hearing- Precious Metal Dealer License Renewal -Jewelry Manufacturer's
Exchange, Inc.
Prepared By
Stacy A. Carlson, Chief of Police
Summary
When Jewelry Manufacturers Exchange Inc. (JME) was approved for renewal in 2012, it was with
the understanding that beginning January 1, 2013 the business would need to start entering their
applicable transactions into the Automated Pawn System (APS). JME did not enter their
transactions as required for the first many months of 2013. In speaking with JME, some saftware
issues caused a delay in data entry at the start of the year, but it was still the responsibility of JME
to resolve those with APS software staff. It was not until the renewal period arose in June 2013
that JME began correctly entering the required data. JME has approximately 300 past
transactions from earlier in the year that were not entered, nor was the appropriate info
obtained from the customer to allow entry of the transactions retroactively. At this time,JME
understands the requirements of the City Code and staff is recommending Council approve a
three month conditional renewal. If during the three months from August 21, 2013 through
November 21, 2013 JME correctly abides by the City Code relative to every transaction, the
business license would automatically renew through the remainder of the license periad, ending
June 30, 2014.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the automatic renewal of the precious metal dealer license for Jewelry
Manufacturers Exchange, Inc. (JME)through June 30, 2014 if City Code requirements for sales
transactions are met during the period of August 21, 2013 through November 21, 2013.

4. B. Public Hearing- Ordinance#S05 - Rezoning from Single Family Residential Zoning District (R-1)
to Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2) - 7901 23rd Avenue North - D.J. Chawla,
Applicant
Prepared By
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner
Summary
D.1. Chawla is proposing to rezone the property at 7901 23rd Avenue North to accommodate tlie
construction of a twinhome. The property is currently zoned "Single Family Zoning District (R-1)."
The proposed new zoning designation is "Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2)."
The Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2) permits single family homes and twin
homes/duplexes. Both R-1 and R-2 zoning classifications are considered "Low Density Residential"
in the City's Comprehensive Plan, so no General Land Use Plan amendment is needed for this
rezoning request.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request. In addition, the Board of
Zoning Appeals voted to grant a variance to allow the proposed residence to be constructed closer
to Winnetka Avenue than permitted by City Code (due to right-of-way acquisition by Hennepin
County).

July 8, 2013 Regular Plannin missio eeting
Boudreau-Landis stated t ommissi ner Baker should be ded to the list of those
present.
Waldhau referred to the last senten on page four and stated that she would like it to
be re rded as follows: "Waldhauser a ded that if the system is taller, it would likely have
t e structurally stronger..."
2. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 7901 23rd Avenue North —
Z019-06
Applicant: Sohan Singh and Swarn Singh
Address: 7901 23�d Avenue North
Purpose: To rezone the properties from Single Family Residential (R-1) to
Moderate Density Residential (R-2) in order to construct a twin home
3. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 7901 23�d Avenue North —
Chawla Estates — SU19-05
Applicant: Sohan Singh and Swarn Singh
Address: 7901 23�d Avenue North
Purpose: The proposed subdivision would create two parcels with a "zero lot line"
to allow for the construction of a twin home
Items 2 and 3 were discussed together.
Hogeboom referred to a map of the subject the property and stated that it is currently
zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) and guided Low Density Residential on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map which includes properties that are zoned R-1 or R-2.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Pianning Commission
July 22, 2013
Page 2
He explained that the property is 14,288 square feet in size and has been historically
vacant.
Hogeboom explained the applicant's request to construct a twin home, the front of which
would face 23rd Avenue North. To accomplish this, the properky must be rezoned from R-
1 to R-2. The applicant is also requesting to subdivide the property into finro lots (with a
zero lot line) which requires a waiver from the Subdivision Code to allow the lot width
along the north setback line to be 97.1 feet in width instead of the required 100 feet. In
addition, the applicant is seeking a variance from the Zoning Code requirements to allow
the home to encroach into the front yard setback area along Winnetka Avenue due to the
fact that the County will be taking an additional seven feet of right-of-way along Winnetka
Avenue.
Segelbaum asked if findings are required when considering a rezoning request.
Hogeboom stated that findings are required for the subdivision request, but are not
needed for the rezoning request.
Waldhauser referred to the qualifications governing the approval of a minor subdivision
and stated that the first qualification is that minor subdivisions shall be denied if the
proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the appropriate zoning district. Hogeboom
stated that if the zoning variances are granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals than the
lots will meet the requirements of the R-2 Zoning District. He clarified that this proposal
would not require any variances if the County were not taking seven additional feet of
right-of-way.
Segelbaum asked if there are City records of anyone ever attempting to develop this
property in the past. Hogeboom said he is not aware of any proposed developments on
this property, but he knows there has been interest in the properties. He explained that
there are soil issues on this property that the applicant will be required to address.
Waldhauser asked if soil conditions were present on the property to the south. Hogeboom
said he believes so. He added that he is also aware that there was some filf put on this
property in the past that might need to be modified.
Kluchka asked if the soil conditions are driving where on the lot the home is proposed to
be placed. Hogeboom said no. The location of the proposed home is due to setback
requirements, site lines and other requirements. He added that soil mitigation will need to
be done no matter where the home is placed on the lot.
Kluchka asked if there are water issues with any other properties in the area. Hogeboom
said he hasn't heard of any, but he knows the City Engineer is considering this proposal
very carefully because of the known issues on this property.
DJ Chawla, Real Estate Agent representing the applicant, stated that the applicants are
brothers and they want to live next to each other. They considered building two single
family homes, but a twin home would meet their needs and be less expensive to build.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 22, 2013

Segelbaum asked who owns the property. Chawla stated that Dwayne Meier is the owner
of the property. Segelbaum asked about the status of the purchase of the property.
Chawla stated that the purchase is contingent on the City approving the rezoning and
subdivision requests. Segelbaum asked how long the property has been for sale and how
long Mr. Meier has owned it. Chawla stated that Mr. Meier has owned it for several years
and he has tried to selt it many times. Segelbaum asked Ghawla if he has ever developed
property before. Chawla said his normal business is selling houses not developing
property.
Waldhauser asked Chawla if he has built houses in this area with this type of soil. Dave
Gardner, builder, said he built a house last year that required soil corrections. He
explained tha#this proposed finrin home will be built on helical piers.
Baker asked about the amount of displaced soil and the number of piers that will need to
be installed. Gardner said approximately 70 piers will be installed and that these types of
piers don't displace very much soil.
Segelbaum asked if he has looked at soil conditions on other properties in the area.
Gardner said he knows that the townhomes south of this property used pilings in their
construction.
Segelbaum asked if any of the neighbors have expressed concerns. Gardner said he
hasn't heard from any of the neighbors.
Baker asked if there is any evidence of a structure ever being on this property. Hogeboom
said no.
Ktuchka opened the public hearing.
Ben Steinbach, 7925 23�d Avenue North, said he frequently has flooding issues and has
witnessed standing water on the property in question. He said he would prefer that the
area be kept single family and that a single family home be built next to him.
Nick Kettner, 2300 Valders Avenue North, said he has also witnessed standing water on
the property and he thinks the proposed new house would be under water every time it
rains and added that the intersection of 23�d Avenue North and Winnetka Avenue is
impassable in strong storms. He said that the last time he saw someone taking a soil
sample on the property their truck sunk two feet into the ground and had to be pulled out.
He doesn't see how this property is usable unless 42 feet of soil is taken out and replaced
with good soiL
Rosa Stein, 7920 Valders Court, said she has walked dogs though the subject property
and noticed that there is often standing water. She said all of Minneapolis is a wetland
and that there are ways to work with it. Kluchka asked Stein if she has had water issues
on her property. Stein said no.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 22, 2013
Page 4
Annette Dreier, 2225 Valders Avenue North, said she started having problems with water
and had to have her basement waterproofed after the Pennsylvania Woods project. She
said her sump pump runs full time and she knows the property at 2250 Valders Avenue
North has the same problems.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Baker asked for clarification on the criteria used in determining if a lot is buildable.
Hogeboom stated that staff considers grade, slope, and delineated wetlands among other
things when determining if a lot is buildable. In this case the lot is not in a delineated
wetland and is considered a buildable lot. However, there will be a significant amount of
soil mitigation and stormwater management required.
Waldhauser questioned where the water goes from all of the sump pumps in the
neighborhood. Hogeboam said the water goes to the ponds in the area and into the storm
sewer system.
Kluchka said he is deferential to the City Engineer's recomrnendation whether the lot is
buildable or not, and he's not sure whether it is the Planning Cammissians purview ta
decide if a lot a buildable. Baker said he thinks it is good that the Planning Commission
asks about these types of issues so that buyers will be aware. Kluchka said he feels the
buyer and builder are well aware of the soil and water conditions on this property.
Waldhauser said her concern is that this project won't aggravate any water issues the
neighbors already have.
Segelbaum questioned if the R-1 zoning district is more appropriate for this property than
the R-2 zoning district since the sale history is unknown. He said he hasn't heard
justification yet for rezoning the property and it would seem like "spot zoning" if the
broader area isn't considered. He added that he was alsa surprised that the Zoning Map
didn't shaw more R-2 zoned properties because there are other duplexes and townhomes
in this area. Hogeboom stated that staff has received a number of phone calls over the
last several years regarding the development of this property. He explained that some of
the existing R-2 properties in the area are grandfathered in because duplexes were
allowed at one time in the R-1 zoning district.
Waldhauser said she is not sure she understands Segelbaum's concerns because this is
a difficult and expensive lot that could work with this propased twin home since the
owners will share the significant engineering costs. She said she doesn't consider
rezoning this property to R-2 ta be "spot zoning" because the property can't really be
developed without rezoning it. She added that the proposal is acceptable to the buyer and
the seller and questioned if the property would even be salable for a single family home.
Chawla reiterated that there are other townhomes and twin homes in the area. He stated
that the property has been on the market for years, and there have been offers but the
cost of soil mitigation ruins them. Gardner stated that he doesn't think a $350,000 to
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 22, 2013
Page 5
$400,000 single family home would be viable on this property since the soil correction and
the price of the lot will be almost $100,000.
Baker questioned if the Planning Commission feels confident that the stormwater
management on this property won't adversely impact any of the neighboring properties.
Kluchka noted that if this proposal didn't include a subdivision request the stormwater
issues wouldn't be part of the Planning Commission review or discussian at all.
Hogeboom reiterated that the stormwater management on this property will be closely
monitored. Waldhauser stated that this property could pick up some of the starmwater
already in the area which could be a benefit to the neighborhaod. Hogeboom said he
would talk to the City Engineer about the neighbor's concerns.
Kluchka questioned how much of this neighborhood would be amenable to R-2 zoning
since there are other R-2 and Commercial properties nearby. He said he thinks R-2
zoning is appropriate for this property considering the other uses in the vicinity.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Boudreau-Lands and motion carried 4 to 1 to
recommend approval of rezoning the properties from Single Family Residential (R-1) to
Moderate Density Residential (R-2). Segelbaum voted no.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Baker and motion carried 3 to 2 to recommend
approval of the Minor Subdivision proposal including the waiver request from Section
12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code allowing the property to be 97.1 feet in width along the
north setback line for the property at 7901 23�d Avenue North subject to the following and
findings and conditions. Commissioners Kluchka and Segelbaum voted no.
Findinqs
1. The proposed lots measure 97.1 feet in width along the north setback line.
2. Section 12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code requires that lots in the R-2 Zoning District
measure at least 100 feet in length on street abutting sides.
3. Hennepin County intends to acquire right-of-way for future needs along CSAH 156, thus
eliminating the ability for this site to achieve that requirement along the north setback
line (23rd Ave. No.) therefore, the Planning Commission recommends approval of a
waiver to Section 12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code allowing the property to be 97.1
feet in width along the north setback line.
Conditions
1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the
Final Plat.
2. A Park Dedication Fee of $180 shall be paid prior to approval of Final Plat.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from City Engineer Jeff
Oliver to Mark Grimes, Community Development Director, dated July 15, 2013, shall
become a part of this approval.
4. A Subdivision Development Agreement will be drafted at the time of Final Plat
approval.
5. All applicable permits shall be obtained prior to the development ofi the new lots.

D.J. Chawla., Applicant
Background
D.J. Chawla is proposing to rezone the property at 7901 23rd Ave. No. to accommodate the
construction of a twinhome. The property is currently zoned "Single Family Zoning District (R-1)."
The proposed new zoning designation is "Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2j."
Property records indicate that this property has always been vacant. Soil boring records indicate
that this property was once swampland and was filled by previous property owners with
compressible organic soils. This created drainage issues on the property. The applicant will have to
work with the City's Public Works Department to ensure that drainage issues are properly
mitigated on this site. This will be achieved through the Stormwater Management process, which
must be completed prior to the obtainment of a building permit.
The Moderate Density Residential Zaning District (R-2) permits single family homes and twin
homes/duplexes. 8oth R-1 and R-2 zoning classifications are considered "Low Density Residential"
in the City's Comprehensive Plan, so no General Land Use Plan amendment is needed for this
rezoning request.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Rezoning Petition, rezoning 7901 23rd Ave. No. from "Single
Family Zoning District (R-1)"to "Moderate Density Residential Zoning District (R-2)" in order to
accommodate the future development of a twinhome.

Waldha er referred to the last sente ce on page four and stated t t she would like it to

e structurally stronger..."
2. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 7901 23rd Avenue North —
Z019-06
Applicant: Sohan Singh and Swarn Singh
Address; 7901 23�d Avenue North
Purpose: To rezone the properties from Single Family Residential (R-1) to
Moderate Density Residential (R-2) in order to construct a twin home
3. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 7901 23�d Avenue North —
Chawla Estates — SU19-05
Applicant: Sohan Singh and Swarn Singh
Address: 7901 23rd Avenue North
Purpose: The proposed subdivision would create two parcels with a "zero lot line"
to allow for the construction of a twin home
Items 2 and 3 were discussed together.
Hogeboom referred to a map of the subject the property and stated that it is currently
zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) and guided Low Density Residential on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map which includes properties that are zoned R-1 or R-2.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Pianning Commission
July 22, 2013
Page 2
He explained that the property is 14,288 square feet in size and has been historically
vacant.
Hogeboom explained the applicant's request to construct a twin home, the front of which
would face 23�d Avenue North. To accomplish this, the property must be rezoned from R-
1 to R-2. The applicant is also requesting to subdivide the property into two lots (with a
zero lot line) which requires a waiver from the Subdivision Code to allow the lot width
along the north setback line to be 97.1 feet in width instead of the required 100 feet. In
addition, the applicant is seeking a variance from the Zoning Code requirements to allow
the home to encroach into the front yard setback area along Winnetka Avenue due to the
fact that the County will be taking an additional seven feet of right-of-way along Winnetka
Avenue.
Segelbaum asked if findings are required when considering a rezoning request.
Hogeboom stated that findings are required for the subdivision request, but are not
needed for the rezoning request.
Waldhauser referred to the qualifications governing the approval of a minor subdivision
and stated that the first qualification is that minor subdivisions shall be denied if the
proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the appropriate zoning district. Hogeboom
stated that if the zoning variances are granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals than the
lots will meet the requirements of the R-2 Zoning District. He clarified that this proposal
would not require any variances if the County were not taking seven additional feet of
right-of-way.
Segelbaum asked if there are City records of anyone ever attempting to develop this
property in the past. Hogeboom said he is not aware of any proposed developments on
this property, but he knows there has been interest in the properties. He explained that
there are soil issues on this property that the applicant will be required to address.
Waldhauser asked if soil conditions were present on the property to the south. Hogeboom
said he believes so. He added that he is also aware that there was some fill put on this
property in the past that might need to be modified.
Kluchka asked if the soil conditions are driving where on the lot the home is proposed to
be placed. Hogeboom said no. The location of the proposed home is due to setback
requirements, site lines and other requirements. He added that soil mitigation will need to
be done no matter where the home is placed on the lot.
Kluchka asked if there are water issues with any other properties in the area. Hogeboom
said he hasn't heard of any, but he knows the City Engineer is considering this proposal
very carefully because of the known issues on this property.
DJ Chawla, Real Estate Agent representing the applicant, stated that the applicants are
brothers and they want to live next to each other. They considered building two single
family homes, but a twin home would meet their needs and be less expensive to build.

Segelbaum asked who owns the property. Chawla stated that Dwayne Meier is the owner
of the property. Segelbaum asked about the status of the purchase of the property.
Chawla stated that the purchase is contingent on the City approving the rezoning and
subdivision requests. Segelbaum asked how long the property has been for sale and how
long Mr. Meier has owned it. Chawla stated that Mr. Meier has owned it for several years
and he has tried to sell it many times. Segelbaum asked Chawla if he has ever developed
property before. Chawla said his normaf business is seiling houses not developing
property.
Waldhauser asked Chawla if he has built houses in this area with this type of soil. Dave
Gardner, builder, said he built a house last year that required soil corrections. He
explained that this proposed twin home will be built on helical piers.
Baker asked about the amount of displaced soil and the number of piers that will need to
be installed. Gardner said approximately 70 piers will be installed and that these types of
piers don't displace very much soil.
Segelbaum asked if he has looked at soil conditions on other properties in the area.
Gardner said he knows that the townhomes south of this property used pilings in their
construction.
Segelbaum asked if any of the neighbors have expressed concerns. Gardner said he
hasn't heard from any of the neighbors.
Baker asked if there is any evidence of a structure ever being on this property. Hogeboom
said no.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Ben Steinbach, 7925 23�d Avenue North, said he frequently has flooding issues and has
witnessed standing water on the property in question. He said he would prefer that the
area be kept single family and that a single family home be built next to him.
Nick Kettner, 2300 Valders Avenue North, said he has also witnessed standing water on
the property and he thinks the proposed new house would be under water every time it
rains and added that the intersection of 23`d Avenue North and Winnetka Avenue is
impassable in strong storms. He said that the last time he saw someone taking a soil
sample on the property their truck sunk two feet into the ground and had to be pulled out.
He doesn't see how this property is usable unless 42 feet of soil is taken aut and replaced
with good soiL
Rosa Stein, 7920 Valders Court, said she has walked dogs though the subject property
and noticed that there is often standing water. She said all of Minneapolis is a wetland
and that there are ways to work with it. Kluchka asked Stein if she has had water issues
on her property. Stein said no.

Annette Dreier, 2225 Valders Avenue North, said she started having problems with water
and had to have her basement waterproofed after the Pennsylvania Woods project. She
said her sump pump runs full time and she knows the property at 2250 Valders Avenue
North has the same problems.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Baker asked for clarification on the criteria used in determining if a lot is buildable.
Hogeboom stated that staff considers grade, slope, and delineated wetlands among other
things when determining if a lot is buildable. In this case the lot is not in a delineated
wetland and is considered a buildable lot. However, there will be a significant amount of
soil mitigation and stormwater management required.
Waldhauser questioned where the water goes from all of the sump pumps in the
neighborhood. Hogeboom said the water goes to the ponds in the area and into the storm
sewer system.
Kluchka said he is deferential to the City Engineer's recommendation whether the lot is
buildable or not, and he's not sure whether it is the Planning Commissions purview to
decide if a lot a buildable. Baker said he thinks it is good that the Planning Commission
asks about these types of issues so that buyers will be aware. Kluchka said he feels the
buyer and builder are well aware of the soil and water conditions on this property.
Waldhauser said her concern is that this project won't aggravate any water issues the
neighbors already have.
Segelbaum questioned if the R-1 zoning district is more appropriate for this property than
the R-2 zoning district since the sale history is unknown. He said he hasn't heard
justification yet for rezoning the property and it would seem like "spot zoning" if the
broader area isn't considered. He added that he was also surprised that the Zoning Map
didn't show more R-2 zoned praperties because there are other duplexes and townhomes
in this area. Hogeboom stated that staff has received a number of phone calls over the
last several years regarding the development of this property. He explained that some of
fihe existing R-2 properties in the area are grandfathered in because duplexes were
allowed at one time in the R-1 zoning district.
Waldhauser said she is not sure she understands Segelbaum's concerns because this is
a difficult and expensive lot that couid work with this proposed twin home since the
owners will share the significant engineering costs. She said she doesn't consider
rezoning this property to R-2 to be "spot zoning" because the property can't really be
developed withaut rezoning it. She added that the proposal is acceptable to the buyer and
the seller and questioned if the property would even be salable for a single family home.
Chawla reiterated that there are other townhomes and twin homes in the area. He stated
that the property has been on the market for years, and there have been offers but the
cost of soil mitigation ruins them. Gardner stated that he doesn't think a $350,000 to
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 22, 2013
Page 5
$400,000 single family home would be viable on this property since the soil correction and
the price of the lot will be almost $10Q,000.
Baker questioned if the Planning Commission feels confident that the stormwater
management on this property won't adversely impact any of the neighboring properties.
Kluchka noted that if this proposal didn't include a subdivision request the stormwater
issues wouldn't be part of the Planning Commission review or discussion at all.
Hogeboom reiterated that the stormwater management on this property will be closely
monitored. Waldhauser stated that this property could pick up some of the stormwater
already in the area which could be a benefit to the neighborhood. Hogeboom said he
would talk to the City Engineer abaut the neighbor's concerns.
Kluchka questioned how much of this neighborhood would be amenable to R-2 zoning
since there are other R-2 and Commercial properties nearby. He said he thinks R-2
zoning is appropriate for this property considering the other uses in the vicinity.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Boudreau-Lands and motion carried 4 to 1 to
recommend approval of rezoning the properties from Single Family Residential (R-1) to
Moderate Density Residential (R-2). Segelbaum voted no.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Baker and motion carried 3 to 2 to recommend
approval of the Minor Subdivision proposal including the waiver request from Section
12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code allowing the property to be 97.1 feet in width along the
north setback line for the property at 7901 23�d Avenue North subject to the following and
findings and conditions. Commissioners Kluchka and Segelbaum voted no.
Findinqs
1. The proposed lots measure 97.1 feet in width along the north setback line.
2. Section 12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code requires that lots in the R-2 Zoning District
measure at least 100 feet in length on street abutting sides.
3. Hennepin County intends to acquire right-of-way for future needs along CSAH 156, thus
eliminating the ability for this site to achieve that requirement along the north setback
line (23�d Ave. No.) therefore, the Planning Commission recommends approval of a

Subject: Informal Public Hearing: Minor Subdivision of Property at 7901 23rd Ave. No.
D.J. Chawla, Applicant
Summary of Request
D.J. Chawla, representing the prospective owners of 7901 23rd Ave. No., is proposing to subdivide the
property into two lots to accommodate a twin home. The lot is currently vacant. City Code requires
that the total area of both lots which will contain the twinhome is at least 11,000 square feet.
Additionally, City Code requires that the tatal site have at least 100 feet of width along each street.
The developer is requesting a variance from the Subdivision Code to allow for a shorter distance along
23rd Ave. No. to accommodate Hennepin County's intention to take an additional 7 feet for street
right-of-way purposes. Following the right-of-way acquisition,the site would measure approximately
97.1 feet along 23rd Ave. No.
Also due to the County's proposed right-of-way acquisition, the applicant has petitioned for a
variance for the home to be located approximately 7 feet closer to Winnetka Ave. than allowed by
City Code.
Qualification as a Minor Subdivision
The proposed two lot subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property located at
7901 23`d Ave. No. is part of a recorded plat. In addition, this proposed subdivision will produce fewer
than four lots and will not create need for public improvements, such as street construction. The
applicant has submitted the required information to the City that allows for the subdivision to be
evaluated as a minor subdivision.
Staff Review of Minor Subdivision
The applicant has submitted a survey for the affected property prior to subdivision, as well as
renderings of proposed setback boundaries and lot layout following lot division. These documents
provide the City with information necessary to evaluate the minor subdivision. All documents indicate
the future construction of a twinhome.
City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, has submitted a memorandum dated July 15, 2013 which outlines
requirements from the Public Works Department. A copy of the Public Works Department
memorandum is attached to this report.
Qualification Governing Approval as a Minor Subdivision
According to Section 12.50 of the City's Subdivision Regulations, the following are the regulations
governing approval of minor subdivisions with staff comment related to this request:
1. Minor subdivisions shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the
appropriate zoning district.The two proposed lots will meet the requirements set forth by the R-
2 Single Family Residential Zoning District.
2. A minor subdivision may be denied if the City Engineer determines that the Iots are not
buildabte. The City Engineer has determined that the proposed lots are buildable.
3. A minor subdivision may be denied if there are no sewer and water connections available or if it
is determined by the City Engineer that an undue strain will be placed on City utility systems by
the addition of the new lots. A developer would be required to submit detailed plans regarding
the proposed sewer and water locations at the time building permits are applied for. Utility
connections are available in this area.
4. Approval of the minar subdivision may require the granting of certain easements to the City.
The final plat must show all necessary easements as required by the City Engineer and City
ordinances.
5. If public agencies other than the City have jurisdiction of the streets adjacent to the minor
subdivision,the agencies will be given the opportunities to comment. Hennepin County holds
jurisdiction of Winnetka Ave. (County State Aid Highway 156). The County has been made aware
of this proposal. No driveways are proposed to connect to Winnetka Ave.
6. The City may ask for review of title if required by the City Attorney regarding the dedication of
certain easements. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary prior to
approval of the final piat.
7. The minor subdivision may be subject to park dedication requirements. In this case, a park
dedication fee of$180.00 will need to be paid prior to final plat approval. (Park Dedication Fees
are determined by assessing 1%of the Estimated Land Value of the sitej.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission declare the following:
The Planning Commission finds that the Minor Subdivision proposal at 7901 23`d Ave. No. meets
criteria established in City Code Section 12.50, and therefore recommends approval of the petition
subject to the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat.
2. A park dedication fee of$180.00 shall be paid before final plat approval.
3. The City Engineer's memorandum, dated July 15, 2013 shall become part of this approval.
4. A Subdivision Development Agreement will be drafted for review and approval by the City Council
that will include issues found in the City Engineer's memorandum.
5. All applicable City permits sha11 be obtained prior to the development of the new Iots.
Further, the Planning Cammission finds that;
• The proposed lots measure 97.1 feet in width along the north front setback line.
• Section 12.20, Subdivision 5(A) of City Code requires that lots in the R-2 Zoning District measure at
least 100 feet in length on street abutting sides.
• Hennepin County intends to acquire right-of-way for future needs along CSAH 156, thus
eliminating the ability for this site to achieve that requirement along the north front setback line
(23rd Ave. No.).
Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends approval of a waiver to Section 12.20, Subdivision
S(A) of City Code allowing site to have a 97.1 foot width along the north front setback line.

Subject: 7901 23`d Avenue North - Rezoning and Minor Subdivision
First Addition to E.A. Anderson's Addition
Public Works staff has reviewed the plans for the proposed minor subdivision called First Addition
to E.A. Anderson's Addition. The proposed development is located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of Winnetka Avenue and 23`d Avenue North. The development consists of
subdividing the existing vacant parcel to create two parcels for attached housing. This
memorandum discusses issues identified during the Public Works review that must be addressed
prior to approval of the final plat. The comments contained within this review are based on the
revised plans submitted to the City on July 3, 2013.
Site Plan
7he Developer proposes to create two parcels with zero setback at the shared lot line to
accommodate the attached houses. The two homes and garages will face 23`d Avenue North and
will have driveway access and utility service from 23`d Avenue.The Developer will be required to
construct new driveway aprons that meet the City's standard. A Right-of-Way Management
permit is required for driveway construction and curb alteration.
Preliminarv Plat
The Development is adjacent to Winnetka Avenue, a Hennepin County highway. Therefore, the
plans must be submitted to Hennepin County for review and comment. Consistent with the City's
subdivision ordinance and recently approved plats in the Winnetka Avenue corridor,the
Developer is dedicating an additional seven (7) feet of right-of-way on the eastern boundary of
the plat, adjacent to Winnetka Avenue.
The property being subdivided is part of a plat of record from 1963 described as Lot 1, Block 1, of
E.A. Anderson's Addition. There are existing utility easements along the west and south property
lines that will need to be vacated as part of the subdivision process.The Developer must submit
G:\Developments-Private\7901 23rd Ave(First Addn to EA Andersons Addn)\7901 23rd Ave_Preliminary Review.docx
application and exhibits to the City for the easement vacation to complete this process. The final
plat for this development must include ten (10) foot easements on all plat boundaries consistent
with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. In addition,the Developer will be required to dedicate a
larger twenty (20) foot wide easement along the south plat boundary to accommodate a small
drainage basin and overflow swale proposed by the Developer. The grading and drainage will be
discussed later in this review.
Utilities
Municipal water and sanitary sewer service is available to the property being subdivided, and
there is adequate capacity available in these systems to accommodate the development.
There is currently one sanitary sewer service and one water service for the lot being subdivided.
The Developer will be required to install one sanitary sewer service and one water service for the
new lot being created, as shown on the plan submitted for review. The Developer will be
required to obtain all appropriate permits, including utility and right-of-way permits for this work.
The City has a Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance. The sanitary sewer services to the
new homes must be inspected and obtain certificates of compliance prior to the occupancy of
the homes.
Stormwater Management
This development is within the Main Stem sub-district of the Bassett Creek Watershed. Based
upon the size of the development, review by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management
Commission (BCWMC) is not required. The Developer is required to obtain City Stormwater
Management permits for the site grading and construction of each home.These permits must be
obtained prior to issuance of building permits. All temporary and permanent erosion and
sediment control measures must be shown on the stormwater plans, consistent with City
standards.
Soil boring records on file at the City, performed by two previous property owners, indicate that
portions of this vacant parcel were once swamp land with fill placed over the compressible
organic soils. With the placement of fill, the natural drainage was blocked creating drainage
issues in the southwest corner of the subject property. This is evidenced by the installation of a
privately-owned catch basin and storm sewer pipe by the previous owner in 1981.The plan
submitted by the Developer shows the existing privately-owned storm sewer pipe which drains a
1ow area in the southwest corner of the parcel and discharges to the City's system in Winnetka
Avenue. The low area collects runoff from the subject property and adjacent rear yards, and may
serve as an emergency overflow for the adjacent stormwater pond, if necessary. Staff
recommends that the owner keep the storm sewer pipe in place and operational to assist with
drainage in this area.
Due to a conflict with the proposed house foundation,the Developer is proposing to relocate a
portion of the private storm sewer pipe.The Owners will be required to enter into a Maintenance
Agreement with the City, stating that the storm sewer pipe and structures will be permanently
G:�Developments-Private\7901 23rd Ave(First Addn to EA Andersons Addn)\7901 23rd Ave_Preliminary Review.docx
owned and maintained by the Owners. The maintenance agreement will be drafted by the City
and must be signed before a building permit is issued.
In addition to relocating the storm sewer pipe, the Developer has proposed drainage swales
beginning in the rear yard and extending around the houses to 23�d Avenue. These swales will
serve as overflow, should the private catch basin or pipe become plugged. Dedication of the
twenty (20) foot rear yard easement discussed earlier in this review will ensure that no structures
or fill are placed in the small basin or overflow swales.
Tree Preservation
This development involves new home construction and is subject to the City's Tree Preservation
Ordinance.The City Forester has reviewed the plan and visited the site and has determined that
no permit is required for this development.
Summarv and Recommendations
Public Works staff recommends approval of the minor subdivision at 7901 23`d Avenue North
subject to the comments contained in this review, which are summarized as follows:
1. Vacation of the existing drainage and utility easements on the parcel being subdivided,
and rededication of drainage and utility easements as discussed within this review prior to
approval of the final plat.
2. Both halves of the proposed duplex must be in compliance with the City's Inflow and
Infiltration Ordinance prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the homes.
3. The property owners must enter into a Storm Sewer Maintenance Agreement for the
private storm sewer facilities extending across the property from Winnetka Avenue. This
agreement must be signed prior to issuance of building permits for the site.
4. Subject to the comments and review by Hennepin County and other City staff.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
August 20, 2013
Agenda Item
4. E. Public Hearing to Vaeate Alley and Easements in the Plats of Spring Green South and
Registered Land Survey No. 106 (The Three.Nine.Four Apartments)
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
A developer has proposed the construction of a market-rate apartment building and a senior
assisted living apartment building an the property located at the northwest corner of the
intersection of Highways 394 and 100. In order ta prepare the land for development, a portion of
the existing public alley and utility easements must be vacated.
Consistent with City Code, the proposed final plat for the development includes the dedication of
drainage and utility easements. In general, the proposed easements are larger than the existing
easements to better accommodate the existing and proposed utilities.
A notice of public hearing regarding the proposed alley and easement vacation was published
and posted and letters were sent to the affected praperty owners along with the praposed
resolution. Staff sent a letter to all private utility companies requesting their review and
comment. Since the vacation is not adjacent to public waters, no Notice to the Commissioner of
Natural Resources is required.
There has been one documented concern regarding this alley and easement vacation by
CenturyLink (formerly Qwest). CenturyLink has existing overhead facilities within the proposed
development area. The developer has been made aware of this concern and is working on a plan
to address the issue.
Consideration af this easement vacation was supported by resolution of the City Council in their
meeting on August 7, 2013, and therefore in accordance with state statutes requires a four-fifths
majority vote in favor of the resolution.
The easement vacation process was scheduled based upon the developer's original schedule.
Since that time, the project has experienced some delay due to a legal matter between the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), which is the seller of the property proposed
for development, and a private party. In light of this, staff recommends the Council open the
public hearing, and continue it until the September 3, 2013 City Council meeting.
Recommended Action
1. Open the Public Hearing and take comment.
2. Motion to continue the Public Hearing until the September 3, 2013 City Council meeting.

Agenda Item
4. F. Public Hearing- Ordinance#506 -Adding a New Section 11.75: Solar Energy Systems
Prepared By
Brett Angell, Planning Intern
Summary
Staff has been directed to develop an ordinance for the installation and regulation of Solar Energy
Systems. Staff worked in accordance with Minnesota Solar Challenge in order to understand how
other Twin Cities metro regions have adopted solar energy into their city codes. The concern was
that Golden Valley currently does not regulate Solar Energy Systems in the City Code. In order to
update Golden Valley's code to best suit the community and remain on-par with the surrounding
areas, research and comparisons have been performed. Based upon these comparisons, planning
staff has developed an ordinance for Solar Energy.
The Solar Energy Systems ordinance went to the Planning Commission at both the May and July
meetings. The main feedback that they had concerned the definitions and whether to consider
ground mounted solar systems an accessory structure, impervious surface, or something
different. The Planning Cammission recommended changes to the ordinance to make it less
restrictive and more encouraging of Solar Energy Systems.
Staff recommends that Solar Energy Systems be allowed within all zoning districts, subject to
administrative review and approval by the Community Development Director. This additian is
incorporated in the attached copy of proposed Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" of the Golden
Valley City Code.

2. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—Adding Section
11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" —ZO00-91
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider the addition of Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" to
the Zoning Chapter of the City Code
Angell gave a presentation to the Commission regarding the addition of solar energy
systems requirements to the zoning chapter of the City Code. He discussed types of solar
energy systems including building integrated systems, ground mounted systems and roof
mounted systems. He also discussed Minnesota's solar potential and noted that the City's
goal is to encourage the use of solar energy in order to reach Minnesota's goal of using
25% renewable energy by the year of 2025.
Angell referred to the proposed ordinance and discussed some of the requirements for
roof mounted systems including height restrictions, reducing visual impact by means of
location, and screening or integrating in with the roof's design. He added that ground
mounted systems would be treated as an accessory structure in regard to height, lot area
coverage and permitted locations and that building integrated systems would be treated
as part of a building.
Baker asked about the number of solar energy systems currently located in Golden
Valley. Angell said he knows of a few businesses and residential properties that have
systems. He added that staff did hear some concerns from residents and that he will
review them with the consultant from the "Minnesota Solar Challenge."
McCarty asked about the technology to store wind and solar energy. Angell said his
understanding is that energy collected can be stored or sold back to energy companies.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 13, 2013
Page 2
Cera added that work is being done to use stored energy for electric vehicles.
Waldhauser suggested having discussions with other communities regarding communal
energy generation that homeowners could buy into.
Kluchka questioned if there should be language added to the proposed ordinance to
ensure #hat it protects trees on neighboring properties from being cut down in order to
gain more solar access. Angell explained that in the ordinances he researched language
about trees was added when cities wanted to allow trees to be cut down in order to allow
for solar access. Grimes noted that trees also have value in keeping energy costs down.
Waldhauser asked about the effect of new plantings. Hogeboom stated that solar access
easements could be put in place between property owners however the City does not get
involved in enforcing private easement agreements. Cera suggested adding language
regarding the preservation of existing trees. Segelbaum asked if other cities have
provisions regarding the preservation of trees. Angell stated that St. Paul has a model
ordinance and it does not mention trees. Waldhauser stated that she thinks there could
be education done about existing trees and that the ordinance doesn't necessarily need
to address it.
Waldhauser asked if there will be a permitting process. Grimes stated that building and
electrical permits will be required.
Cera asked if the City has considered offering subsidies to homeowners who install solar
energy systems. Grimes stated that there are tax credits available and that solar panels
are becoming more affordable. Baker added that energy companies also give credits.
Segelbaum referred to the definition of Building Integrated Solar System and stated that
the words "solar energy system" should capitalized. He also noted that Subdivision
3(A)(1) should be changed from "Building Mounted Solar Energy Systems to "Flush
Mounted Solar Systems."
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(A)(2) and asked what the "exterior perimeter" of the
roof ineans. Angell explained that the language was modeled after St. Paul's ordinance
and that he would talk to the consultant he's been working with to better define that
paragraph.
McCarty suggested that "Ground Mounted Solar System" be added to the list of
definitions. He referred to the definition of Solar Energy System and suggested the word
"significantly" be removed.
Baker referred to Subdivision 3(A)(3) regarding the visual impact of rooftop equipment
and questioned the use of the word "shall" in the first sentence. The Commission
consensus was to keep the word "shall" in that sentence however they agreed that the
word "reduced" should be changed to "minimized."
Kluchka suggested that Subdivision 4(A) regarding compatibility be removed because
following all of the requirements of the accessory structures language is too restrictive.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 13, 2013
Page 3
The Commission agreed and suggested language regarding height and setbacks would
be clearer.
Segelbaum referred to the second sentence in Subdivision 3(C) and said the words
"building integrated systems" should be changed to "Building Integrated Solar Systems."
Waldhauser referred to the language regarding interFerence and asked if solar energy
systems really cause interFerence. Cera stated that these systems won't generate
interference.
Baker referred to Subdivision 4(E) regarding maximum capacity and asked how 100
kilowatts was decided. Angell stated that he would have further discussion with the
consultant he's been working with about that language.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Andy Snope, 1320 Unity, said he's worked in the electrical industry for 20 years. He
handed out some suggested changes to the language in the ordinance which included
requiring that an electrical permit be obtained, requiring a licensed contractor to install
solar systems and not Iimiting the output on commercial properties to 100 Kilowatts. He
also handed out several articles regarding solar energy for the Planning Commission to
review. Hogeboom stated that Mr. Snope's comments have been forwarded to the
consultant for the Minnesota Solar Challenge.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public
hearing.
MOVED by Cera, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to table this item
in order to give staff time to revise the proposed ordinance.

3. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—Adding Section
11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" —ZO00-91 (Continued Item)
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider the addition of Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" to
the Zoning Chapter of the City Code
Angell reminded the Planning Commissioners that they tabled this item at their May 13,
2013 meeting. He reviewed the changes made to the ordinance based on the discussion
from that meeting. .
Waldhauser referred to Subdivision 3(A)(2) and the language regarding non-flush solar
systems not extending more than three feet above the surface of the roof and asked if
that requirement is due to safety issues. Angell said yes, it has to do with safety and wind
issues.
Waldhauser referred to Subdivision 4(F) regarding installation and asked if the term
licensed contractor means a general contractor or an electrical contractor. Angell said he
believes "licensed" means an electrician license. Grimes added that a general contractor
could install the panels but an electrician would need to do the electrical work.
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(E) regarding setback requirements and stated that
five feet seems like a small setback for solar energy system that might be quite large.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 8, 2013
Page 4
Waldhauser noted that five feet is the same setback requirement for all accessory
structures. Grimes agreed and added that a solar energy system would also count
against the amount of impervious surface coverage allowed. Kluchka asked if the five foot
setback would be measured from the pole or from the outer perimeter of the system.
Grimes said it would be measured from the outer perimeter. Kluchka suggested that be
clarified to the ordinance language
Baker referred to Subdivision 3(D) regarding a maximum allowed height of 10 feet and
stated that that might be too restrictive. Angell stated that the language regarding height
follows Minneapolis's ordinance and the Minnesota Solar Challenge suggested language.
Waldhauser added that a 10-foot high pole could be screened.
Baker stated that he doesn't think it's appropriate to count solar energy systems against
the amount of impervious surface allowed because they are not on the ground. He
suggested language be added to state that these systems are not considered to be
impervious surface because he doesn't wan#this ordinance to be too restrictive.
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(A)(3) and asked about the definition of"rooftop
equipment." Angell stated that rooftop equipment refers to flush and non-flush mounted
systems and everything that entails.
Segelbaum questioned why screening is discussed in Subdivision 4(A) and in Subdivision
3(A)(3) and suggested the language be combined. Angell said the language in
Subdivision 3(A)(3) could be removed and that it could remain in Subdivision 4(A).
Kluchka opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Baker questioned if a definition for"Solar Gardens" is needed. Kluchka questioned what
the language "grid connected subscriber" means. Segelbaum said he thinks it means that
people are sharing electricity but they are still "on the grid." Baker questioned if the
definition for "Solar Gardens" would be just as effective without using the words "grid
connected subscriber." Kluchka agreed the definition sounds confusing and suggested it
be changed. Angell said he would provide a better definition.
McCarty referred to the definition of "Non-Flush Mounted Solar Systems" and suggested
the word "pitch" be changed to the word "angle."
Boudreau-Landis referred to Subdivision 3(A)(2) which states that non-flush mounted
solar systems shall not extend more than three feet above the surFace of a roof and
questioned if that is adequate for a flat-roof commercial building or if it would be too
restrictive. Angeil explained that that language was modeled on St. Paul's ordinance and
the Minnesota Solar Challenge language. Waldhauser added that if the system is taller, it
would likely have to be structurally stronger and tied in to the building differently with
added expense.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
July 8, 2013
Page 5
McCarty asked if solar energy systems would count against the 1,000 square feet of
accessory structure space allowed on each property. Waldhauser stated that it would be
more permissive to use pervious surface requirements rather than to use accessory
structure requirements. Kluchka said he thinks using the accessory structure
requirements for solar energy systems is a good place to start. Grimes agreed that
massing and impervious surtace issues could be further studied.
Segelbaum referred to Subdivision 3(C) and stated that the first use of the word energy
should be removed.
Boudreau-Landis stated the Subdivision 4(C)(2) regarding compliance is not needed
because compliance is already covered in Subdivision 4(B).
Baker questioned if anything will be lost by removing Subdivision 4(E) regarding systems
not having more than a 100 kilowatt capacity.
Boudreau-Landis stated the word "required" in Subdivision 4(G) should be removed.
McCarty said he wants consistency in the language throughout the ordinance and
suggested the following changes: delete the words "building mounted" from Subdivision
3(A), change the word "must" to "shall" in Subdivision 3(A)(5), delete the word "all" in
Subdivision 3(D), change the word "must" to "shall" in Subdivision 3(A)(E), delete the
word "all" in Subdivision 4(B), delete the word "the" in Subdivision 4(D), reword
Subdivision 4(F) to read "Solar Energy Systems shall be installed by a licensed
contractor" and delete the words "required" and "all" from Subdivision 4(F)(G).
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Boudreau-Landis and motion carried unanimously
to recommend approval of the addition of Section 11.75 "Solar Energy Systems" to the
Zoning Chapter of the City Code with the changes discussed.
