Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
February 25, 2014
A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday,
February 25, 2014 at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. City
Planner Jason Zimmerman called the meeting to order at 7:08 pm.
Those present were Planning Commission Representatives Boudreau-Landis, McCarty,
Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present were City Planner Jason Zimmerman, Planning
Intern Nick Olson and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Board Members Johnson,
Maxwell and Nelson were absent.
Since the Chair and Vice Chair were absent Segelbaum nominated McCarty to be
Chairperson Pro Tem. McCarty accepted and chaired the meeting.
I. Approval of Minutes — January 28, 2014, Regular Meeting
The Board decided to put the approval of the January 28, 2014, minutes on the next
regular agenda since many of them did not attend the January 28 meeting.
II. The Petition(s) are:
1343 Orkla Drive
Lake West Development (Covinqton, LLC)
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd.
11(A)(1) FrontYard Setback Requirements
• 7.1 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 27.9 ft. at its closest point to the
front yard (north) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new home.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District (R-1),
Subd. 11(A)(3)(b) Side Yard Setback Requirements
• City Code requires an increase in side yard setback area for houses over 15
feet in height. The applicant is asking for a variance from this requirement.
Olson referred to a survey of the property and stated that it consists of two lots. He explained
the applicant's proposal to un-combine the lots and build two new houses. The variances
requested relate to the proposed new home on lot to the north. He added that the proposed
new home would line up with the existing homes along Knoll Street, several of which have
received variances from the front yard setback requirements and are located closer than the
required 35 feet from Knoll Street.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
February 25, 2014
Page 2
Waldhauser asked if the City has recommended to the applicant that he re-plat the property
so that two homes could fit without the need for variances. Olson stated no, and explained
that because the two lots already exist the City wouldn't require re-platting.
Segelbaum asked about the un-combining process. Olson explained that the property
consists of two existing platted lots of record that were combined at some point for tax
purposes. Only one house with one address has been located on the property, but it is really
two lots.
Segelbaum asked how big of a side yard variance is being requested. Olson stated that the
applicant is proposing to build up to the required 12.5 foot setback. The request is to not
have to increase that setback amount as the house gets taller. In this case, the height of the
proposed house would require there to be a 15.5 foot side yard setback.
Segelbaum referred to a map showing the locations of other houses along Knoll Street and
asked which ones received variances. Olson pointed out the ones where he found evidence
that a front yard variance had been granted.
Boudreau-Landis referred to the survey of the property and noted that the property line along
the east seems closer to the street than the property line along the north. Zimmerman stated
that the amount of right-of-way is different along each front.
McCarty referred to the survey and asked if the south side yard setback was measured from
the foundation or the cantilevered wall of the proposed new house. Zimmerman said it was
measured to the cantilevered wall, because the floor will cantilever. If it were a bay window
and not the floor, the measurement would be taken from the foundation.
Segelbaum asked if the south elevation would be in violation of the articulation requirements
if the wall did not cantilever. Zimmerman said yes. Segelbaum asked about the distance
between the house and the south property line without the cantilevered wall. Olson stated
that it would be approximately two feet further away from the property line, but the applicant
would still need a variance of one foot.
Ben Wikstrom, Lake West Development, Applicant, said he would be willing to shift the
house three feet to the north and ask for a larger front yard variance in order to meet the
side yard setback requirements. He referred to a survey of the property and noted that Knoll
Street, along the north of the property, isn't centered within the right-of-way so there is more
open space along the north side of the property. He stated that the houses he is proposing
to build are reasonably sized homes. He referred to the comment made about redrawing the
property line between the finro lots and explained that they considered that option, however
they would like to keep the south lot larger in size. He stated that if they don't receive
variances, they would still construct finro new homes, but the north home just wouldn't be as
functional. He added that he feels a precedent has been set with the other homes in the
area that were constructed closer than 35 feet to the front yard property line.
McCarty asked Wikstrom to discuss the un-combining of the lots and asked what would
prevent him from making this proposal work without variances. Wikstrom reiterated that this
property is legally platted as two lots which, by statute, he can build on.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
February 25, 2014
Page 3
He stated that if he shifted the existing property line between the two lots to make the
houses conform, both houses would be similar in size and there would be two homes that
look the same right next to each other.
Waldhauser asked if the side yard setback would have to increase if a two-story home is
built on the south lot. Wikstrom said yes.
Segelbaum asked Wikstrom to identify the practical difficulties that would help justify the
granting of variances. Wikstrom stated that the buildable area on the north lot is small and
added that the setback requirements and house styles were different when the property was
originally platted. He stated that he is not implying that there are financial difficulties but the
lots are already platted this way and were not created by him. He added that a home that is
25 feet wide and 100 feet long would not be in character with this neighborhood.
McCarty opened the public hearing.
Cathy Zettervall, 1336 Wisconsin Avenue North, said she doesn't want variances granted for
this property because she doesn't want to see houses that are bigger than every other house
in the neighborhood. She added that she thinks it is a weak argument by the applicant to
state that he doesn't want two houses that would like alike next to each other.
Larry Zettervall, 1336 Wisconsin Avenue North, asked if the Board has to consider the height
of other houses in the area as well. Waldhauser explained that the increased side yard
setback area according to the height of a house is a recent requirement. Segelbaum added
that the 35-foot front yard setback has been in place for long time. Zettervall asked about the
reasons for the setback requirements. Waldhauser stated that front yard setbacks were
established to keep consistent lines of view up and down a street and the increased side
yard setbacks were established to cut down on the amount of light that is blocked and to
protect existing neighbors.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, McCarty closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser stated that the front yard setback proposed is not out of character and won't
look out of place. She referred to the side yard setback request and stated that when the
two-foot deep cantilevered portion of the wall is taken into account the distance is really one
foot visually and she doesn't feel it would be necessary to re-draw the property lines for such
a small distance. Segelbaum asked Waldhauser if she would rather see the house pushed
further to the north so that a side yard setback variance would not be needed. Waldhauser
said no, she would not like to see the house built closer to Knoll Street.
Boudreau-Landis agreed with Waldhauser and said the proposal is reasonable and that it is
really a small infraction on the south, side yard setback requirements. He also stated that he
is comfortable with the front yard variance request since the right-of-way area along the north
is quite a bit larger than normal. Segelbaum also agreed and stated that the side yard
setback request is minimal and that the Board has historically been very conscious of front
yard setback requirements. He said he would be supportive of both of the proposed
variances.

McCarty added that the topography also breaks up the visual plane on the block. He said he
thinks this is a reasonable proposal but he is not convinced that the difficulties are unique to
the property and although the issues were not caused by this landowner, they were caused
by a past landowner. He said he would be curious to see other ways to plat this property.
Zimmerman stated that he is not sure that two lots, with enough width, could be created if
the center property line was shifted. McCarty suggested the lot line between the two
properties could be platted from north to south instead of east to west.
Waldhauser stated that the elevations for the sides of the house look boring because there
are no windows proposed. Wikstrom said he would be willing to add windows on both sides
of the house.
Segelbaum stated that he hopes the applicant won't need to ask for variances to build a
house on the south lot and questioned if that could be added as a condition to this proposal.
McCarty said he doesn't think the Board has that authority.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Boudreau-Landis and motion carried unanimously to
approve the following variance requests:
• 7.1 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 27.9 ft. at its closest point to the front
yard (north) property line to allow for the construction of a new home.
• The side yard setback along the south property line is allowed to remain at 12.5 feet
without increasing even though the house is over 15 feet in height.
Waldhauser added a condition that windows be added on the north and south side
elevations. The Board agreed with the added condition.

suggestion was brought up to direct the HRC to provide mental health awareness and
Human Rights Commission February 25,2014
Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 4
education programs. Although the Council has not yet directed the HRC, it is likely that
they will in the near future. To that end, the HRC proposed the following revisions to
their Approved 2014 Work Plan:
• postpone participation in the 2014 Gay Pride Festival to a future year
• amend the HRC Conversations program to be centered on the theme of
Mental Health Awareness and Education. Originally, the 2014 Work Plan
had the Conversations theme around the issue of abuse.
Possible ideas for mental health awareness and education HRC conversations:
• Panelist ideas: AI and/or Franni Franken, NAMI, Touchstone Mental
Health, parent panelist(s) from Deb Reisner's event, Homeward Bound;
Washburn Center for Children
• Viewing of TPT programs, Experiencing Mental Illness series
It was the consensus of the HRC to coincide the May program (tentatively May 8) with
National Children's Mental Health Awareness Week (May 2-8) and the October program
(tentatively October 9) with Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 6-10). The HRC
also agreed that one of the events should focus especially on youth.
Communications
C. Knauss provided the HRC with information that Deb Reisner had submitted her letter
of resignation due to more responsibilities at her full-time job. With former
Commissioner Reisner's resignation and Council Member Snope's election to the City
Council, there are two vacancies on the HRC.
Council Member Snope stated he will bring up the vacancies and the need to move
forward with appointments to the HRC at the March 11 Council/Manager Meeting.
Adjourn
Motion by Chair Buttress, second by Commissioner Johnson to adjourn the
meeting at 8:15 pm. Motion carried 4-0.
Follow-up Items:
• Chair Buttress to contact former HRC Commission Deb Reisner on parent
panelists.
• Commissioner Burris to contact Helen Raleigh, retired Executive Director of
Touchstone Mental Health, Inc., for possible resources and/or interest in
facilitating a panel discussion.
• Council Member Snope will contact Senator Franken's office for either Senator
Franken or Franni Franken's availability.
• Commissioner Johnson to contact Washburn Center for Children to see if they
would be interested in serving as a panelist.
• C. Knauss to contact TPT to inquire about purchasing DVD or how HRC would
be able to use their programs during HRC Conversations events.

MOVED by Norris and seconded by McDonald to approve the minutes of the January 6,
2014 meeting as presented. Motion carried.
Review of Januarv 9, 2014 Tri-Citv Council Meetinq
Overall, the commissioners thought the meeting went well. The meeting minutes were
discussed. Sue Virnig noted on page 4, the emergency water supply wells were originally
included in the CIP at $450,000 and not $400,000 as stated in the minutes.
MOVED by McDonald and seconded by Norris to approve the minutes of the January 9,
2014 Tri-City Council meeting with the correction noted. Motion carried.
Update on Emerqencv Backup Water Supplv Proiect
Crystal, New Hope and Golden Valley city councils approved resolutions ordering
construction of the emergency backup water supply project. Two wells will be constructed
in Crystal and one in Golden Valley. Bolton & Menk will look at the model and check the
low flows and acclimating the new water into the reservoir. Mathisen asked if the JWC
would approve a fourth well if funding remains after the three wells have been built. The city
councils have approved three wells and implementation of the New Hope well into service
only. Clancy stated before there is more discussion about a fourth well, some factors are
yet to be determined (such as if the current emergency supply will need to reach 6.8 million
gallons/day and how the New Hope well will operate within the system). In addition, there
are easements and written approval from Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board still to be
worked out. The Minnesota Department of Health will not issue a permit until they have a
site plan.
Burt added the construction estimate has been reduced to $3.3 million to 3.5 million and
anything under that amount is a savings to the cities.

The JWC directed the TAC to move ahead with the bidding process for the three wells and
operation of the New Hope well. The TAC is projecting the bid opening at the end of March.
New Hope will initiate a 20 cent/1,000 gallons of water starting April 1 as a surcharge
earmarked for emergency water supply. McDonald will forward the approved action to Burt
and Norris. Burt added the surcharge will be discussed at a Golden Valley council/manager
meeting in March.
SCADA Upqrades
Total Control submitted a quote for upgrading the SCADA system computer and software in
Crystal and Golden Valley in the amount of$22,394.26. Kloepper estimates the upgrades
will be good for 4 to 5 years. New Hope's system was removed in 2005 and will need to be
addressed separately once it is re-established. New Hope currently monitors this system in-
house. The JWC CIP includes $55,000 for all three SCADA systems to be upgraded.
MOVED by Norris and seconded by McDonald to approve the quote received from Total
Control Systems, Inc. for $22,394.26 for SCADA system upgrades. Motion carried.

unanimously.
3. Approval of January 16, 2014 Minutes
Lund moved approval of the minutes, Rubinyi seconded, motion carried.
4. Work Plan and Budget
Great Ideas Form
Group reviewed the form and discussed a few changes. Johnson pointed out the form is
set up for connecting people, not for approving ideas. Board members asked Weiler to
add a PDF of the form to the Envision Connection Project page on the City website, with
a goal of making it an interactive form with a "Submit" button. Weiler will start with the
PDF online and work toward developing an interactive form. Weiler will then forward
completed forms to Schleif for summarizing. Schleif suggested making Great Ideas an
agenda item for future meetings, and Lund suggested keeping it to a limited time at
each meeting. The group discussed how to manage ideas that are submitted. One
suggestion was to bring the ideas to quarterly Bridge Builders meetings for networking.
The Board agreed to add Great Ideas to future agendas under item 5, Projects and
Council Updates. Lund moved, Berger seconded, motion carried. Berger moved
approval of the Great Ideas form with changes, Rubinyi seconded, motion carried.

Board reviewed Lilac Committee minutes. Census was to accept and file.
5. Projects and Council Updates
Bridge Builders
Lund reported what he learned about Wirth Chalet during his preparation for the March
8 quarterly Bridge Builders event. Lund requested funds for refreshments for the
meeting. Tanick moved to approve up to $100, Penk seconded, motion carried. Lund
will purchase refreshments from Byerly's and Caribou and bring costs and receipts to
the City for payment. Weiler asked the Board to consider dates for the next quarterly
meeting. Tanick offered to look into getting meeting space at KARE 11 TV.
VISI Award
Weiler reported that Don Brown's contact phone number is listed as no longer in
service. Consensus was to send him a letter by mail in case he moved and his mail has
been forwarded.
Weiler presented Sandy Werts' nomination of the Lilac Committee for a VISI award.
Lund said it seemed awkward since committee member Dwight Townes has already
been awarded a VISI. Rubinyi agreed that nominations should be spread around the
community a bit more. Board agreed to wait on approving the nomination.
6. New Business
Ice Cream Social
Tanick reported that he, Heidelberg, and Gitelis met with City Parks and Recreation
staff regarding ownership of the Ice Cream social and ability to make changes to the
event. He reported that Parks and Recreation staff said the Ice Cream social is a City
program and that he feels the City is not open to progressive ideas. After a discussion
that ranged about ownership, budget, costs, and more, the Board agreed to consider
the Ice Cream Social an Envision program that has been successfully launched in the
community.
Hall of Fame
Tanick reported the Golden Valley Historical Society is interested in handling the Hall of
Fame event in the future. Several Board members asked if the money budgeted for Hall
of Fame would move with the event, and Weiler explained that money could not be
given to an outside organization and would remain in Envision's budget for 2014. The
Board agreed to consider the Hall of Fame project another Envision idea that has been
successfully launched in the community.
Miscellaneous
Schleif brought up the marketing advisory committee he's working on with the mayor
and said he met with the St Louis Park Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB). He said
the mayor wants him to present the CVB idea to the City Council in a few months and
asked for input from the Board.
Lund reported he had attended a Golden Valley LIVE event earlier in the evening,
where around 60 people were networking at a happy hour at Theresa's Mexican
Restaurant. He said it was a lively, galvanizing group and said LIVE wants to link up
with the community is a big way and is looking for funding from the Golden Valley
Community Foundation. He asked what it wouid mean if LIVE could get an
endorsement from Envision. Weiler said LIVE had already approached the City for help
with advertising and promotion and received that standard explanation about why the
City can't spend taxpayer dollars promoting private organizations. The Board discussed
having LIVE come to future Bridge Builder events to network.
Johnson reported Global Golden Valley connected with ECHO Minnesota, an
organization dedicated to bridging communication for immigrants and refugees. March
15 Global Golden Valley event at the Golden Valley library: "Who Is Your Neighbor and
Where Are They From?"

Commission ended the year well and in the black. She described the cost-savings measures that the
Commission implemented during the year and noted the fund balance.
Administrator Jester provided a short overview of the Commission's 2014 budget. There was a discussion

and that there is a separate link to the Executive Summary piece.
E. Discuss Holding Brief XP-SWMM Tutorial at Future Commission Meeting
There was discussion on interest in holding a brief tutorial on XP-SWMM at a future Commission
Meeting. Commissioner Carlson suggested that if the Commission receives a proposal from Barr
Engineering for phase 2 of the XP-SWMM work,the tutorial and proposal review could be integrated into
one meeting so the general questions and more specific process questions could be addressed at that time.
Commissioner Welch commented that the current XP-SWMM model is an important product of the
Commission. The January 14,2014 XP-SWMM tutorial presentation will be posted on the Commission
website. The Commission tabled the discussion until the XP-SWMM item later in the agenda[see agenda
item 7A].
6.NEW BUSINESS
A. Review Draft Feasibility Report for 2015 Bassett Creek Main Stem Restoration Project
(2015CR)
Administrator Jester explained that reviewing the draft feasibility study is the next step in the CIP process for
this project. She said that the draft report was prepared by WSB and Associates for the City of Golden Valley
for the stream restoration project on the Main Stem of Bassett Creek between 10'''Avenue and Duluth Street.
Administrator Jester pointed out that in the next agenda item the Commission is being asked to direct the
Commission Engineer to review and comment on the draft feasibility study on behalf of the BCWMC and to
work with the City of Golden Valley and WSB to address any issues or concerns.
Joe Fox described the project in detail,explaining that the project will address erosion,the hazardous
conditions that the erosion is causing,total phosphorous, and total suspended solids. He summarized the
4
BCWMC February 20, 2014, Meetinq Minutes
proposed solutions including reshaping and stabilizing the slopes using bioengineering methods like vegetated
reinforced slope stabilization(VRSS)and hard armoring like rock vanes and fieldstone boulders. Mr. Fox
noted that the draft report states that if only bioengineering methods are used in the project then
approximately 800 trees would need to be removed and if hard armoring is using along the entire reach then
approximately 400 trees would need to be removed.
He said that the cost estimate of the project is$1,300,000 to$1,600,000. There was a question about the
timing of the construction. Mr. Fox said that he would clarify the construction date.
Mr. Fox said that the first priorities in this project are stabilizing areas on public property and stabilizing
storm sewer outlets,and that a big issue in this project will be getting access to private property since much of
the erosion is on private property.Mr. Oliver said that the City has not yet had a public meeting on the
project,but the City will hold a large group meeting and then will discuss the project with individual property
owners and will get feedback from them regarding what techniques they would like to see used on their
property.
Commissioner Tobelmann said that the Commission needs to think about positioning and public relations for
the project. Mr. Oliver said that the City has been working on this aspect of the project and is being very
proactive to be the first and best source of information.Administrator Jester stated that the pollutant removal
numbers on pages 6 and 18 of the report are different.Mr.Fox said that he would clarify the correct numbers
with WSB and would let her know.
Commissioner Welch commented that this feasibility study didn't clearly identify the erosive force thresholds
that the different armoring techniques can withstand or identify the level of erosion forces that the proposed
restoration sites are facing,which makes it difficult for him to understand from the report which stabilization
techniques would be successful in the proposed restoration sites.He said he thinks this lack of information
could cause conflict if the property owners are given various options to choose from but aren't clearly
informed from the start about what stabilization techniques would be successful on the restoration sites on
their property. There was discussion on this topic,public participation,value of the proj ect in terms of cost
per pound of phosphorous removed,and easements.
Engineer Chandler stated that the Commission will need to discuss how it will levy for this project, and since
the Commission's procedure has been to levy$1,000,000 each year, it may want to consider breaking up the
cost into more than one year's levy request.
Commissioner Welch recommended that the proposed restoration sites be prioritized and as the project moves
forward,the BCWMC's Administrator could do some outreach with the property owners of the high priority
sites.
Administrator Jester highlighted the Commission's CIP process and the timeline for this project and said that
the final feasibility report will come back to the Commission in June.
B. Approval of Commission Engineer to Formally Review and Comment on Feasibility Studies of
Commission Projects
Administrator Jester requested that the Commission Engineer be directed to review all draft feasibility studies
of Commission projects and to provide comments to the Commission,pertinent city staff and the city's
consultant that prepared the report. She explained that the costs of the Commission Engineer's review of the
draft feasibility studies could be built into the cost of the CIP project. Commissioner Welch moved to approve
taking the action described by Administrator Jester with the recommendation that the draft feasibility study
5
BCWMC February 20, 2014, Meeting Minutes
first come to the Commission at which time the Commission will direct the Commission Engineer to review
the feasibility report.
Mr. Oliver remarked that the Commission has a pool of engineers that it used for preparing feasibility studies
of Commission projects.He said that he has no issues with the concept of the Commission Engineer's review
of draft feasibility reports but noted that if those costs are included in the project costs,then there are fewer
dollars available for actual construction of the project.Vice Chair Muller seconded the motion. Upon a vote,
the motion carried 8-0 [City of Robbinsdale absent from vote].
�Commissioner Millner departs the meeting]
C. Order Submittal of Major Plan Amendment to BWSR
Administrator Jester said that the draft documents were in the meeting packet and with Commission direction,
they will be finalized and sent to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources(BWSR)and the Metro-
Area Plan Reviewers for review and comment. Mr.LeFevere recommended one addition. Commissioner
Welch moved to approve staff making the addition recommended by Mr.LeFevere and finalizing and
distributing the Major Plan Amendment request to BWSR and the necessary parties. Commissioner
Tobelmann seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 7-0 [Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale
absent from vote].
D. Decide on Participation in 2014 Education and Outreach Events
There was discussion about upcoming events and possible participation. Administrator Jester asked the
Commission about what level they would like her to participate in preparing for and participating in the
education events, and she said that she would like to participate in this type of work.The Commission agreed
to participate in the City of Plymouth's Yard and Garden Expo,to have Administrator Jester send around a
sign up for upcoming events, and for the Education Committee to discuss upcoming events and educational
materials at its next meeting and bring information back to the Commission.
E. Discuss Recognition of Volunteers
Administrator Jester presented some options on ways that the Commission could recognize its volunteers and
recommended that the Education Committee discuss the options further and bring information back to the
Commission. The Commission agreed.
F. Consider Participating in 2014 West Metro Region Watersheds NEMO (Non-Point Education
for Municipal Officials)Program
Administrator Jester gave an overview of the program and the request received by the BCWMC to participate
financially and by helping recruit officials in the watershed to attend the programs. Commissioner Welch
moved to authorize Administrator Jester to expend up to 10 hours of her BCWMC time to help with the
program and recruiting and to authorize the expenditure of up to$500 toward the NEMO program contingent
on Attorney LeFevere's approval of the agreement between the BCWMC and the University of Minnesota,
and to authorize Administrator Jester to execute the agreement in the case that Attorney LeFevere approves
the agreement.Alternate Commissioner Crough seconded the motion. U�on a vote,the motion carried 7-0
[Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale absent from vote].
G. Consider Request for Financial Support of Annual Children's Water Festival
Administrator Jester described the request and the program and recommended that the Commission contribute
$350 out of its 2014 education budget.Attorney LeFevere noted that a grant agreement would be put in place.
Commissioner Tobelmann moved to approve participating in this year's Children's Water Festival at an

A. Consider Funding Options for XP-SWMM Phase❑
Engineer Chandler summarized the memo included in the meeting packet and corrected two numbers from the
memo, explaining that the 2015 total should say$82,000 and the 3-year total should say$246,000. She said
that the Commission should discuss if it wants to move forward with the XP-SWMM Phase II. She
summarized the possible options, including work in 2014,and noted that the work should be performed in a
particular order starting with Plymouth Creek and continuing downstream.
Commissioner Welch asked if the TAC members feel the need to weigh in.Mr.Asche provided comments
and said that he thinks the TAC would appreciate weighing in again on this topic.He also said that the
possible cost to the City of Plymouth for this work is$100,000,and the City would like the Commission to go
out with a Request for Proposals(RFP)for the work.Engineer Chandler responded to questions.
Commissioner Carlson said that he is strongly in favor of sending this back to the TAC to discuss and to
provide input from each city.Commissioner Tobelmann asked that the TAC also address the consequences of
not upgrading the model.
There was discussion on the benefits of an upgraded model. Engineer Chandler said that she could bring to
the next TAC meeting information about the assumptions that were used to develop the cost estimate for
developing phase 2. Commissioner Hoschka requested maps as well. Commissioner Welch asked if the model
is available now for use and brought up the fact that the Commission needs to have a policy on who gets the
model and under what terms. He said that he will forward some information about terms to Administrator
Jester,Engineer Chandler, and Attorney LeFevere. Engineer Chandler said that she can forward the model
now to the BCWMC cities that are interested in receiving it.There was further discussion of details of the
model. Commissioner Hoschka, Mr. Fox and Mr. Asche requested a meeting with Commission Engineer Rita
Weaver to review the XP-SWMM. Engineer Chandler indicated such a meeting could be arranged.

Agenda Item
3. G. Authorize Joint Powers Agreement with Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Joe Fox, EIT, Water Resources Engineer
Summary
The City of Golden Valley has been a member of the Bassett Creek Watershed Management
Commission (BCWMC) since it was founded in 1969. The BCWMC was originally formed as a Joint
Powers Organization called the Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission by the nine cities that
are tributary to Bassett Creek. In addition to Golden Valley, the member cities include
Minneapolis, Crystal, Robbinsdale, New Hope, Plymouth, St. Louis Park, Minnetonka, and
Medicine Lake.
The current Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) expires on January 1, 2015 and must be approved by
the member communities for the BCWMC to continue to function. Therefore, the BCWMC has
requested the City approve an amendment to the JPA that will extend the agreement for
10 years, to January 1, 2025.
In the event that one or more communities do not sign this 1PA amendment,the BCWMC will be
dissolved and state law would require that a watershed district be established. In a watershed
district, the County appoints the board of managers, which then hires its own staff. Currently, the
BCWMC member cities appoint commissioners and city staffs participate on its committees. This
means the cities have more influence in watershed discussions and policies than they would have
in a watershed district.
BCWMC has successfully lowered the risk of flood damage through construction of its Flood
Control Project in conjunction with the Army Corps of Engineers. This project included
construction of a number of flood control structures throughout the watershed, including several
in Golden Valley, channel crossing improvements, and flood storage areas. In the last decade, the
BCWMC has expanded its role to fund water quality infrastructure and streambank restoration
projects to protect and enhance the water resources within the watershed.

RE: Request for Signature on Amendment to BCWMC Joint Powers Agreement
Dear Mr. Burt;
As you may recall, the Joint Powers Agreement(JPA) establishing the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission (Commission) currently expires on January 1, 2015. Last year the
Commission requested that each member city review the current JPA and provide comments on the
Commission's recommendation that the term of the JPA be extended. None of the nine member
cities had suggested changes to either the JPA or the proposed amendment.
At this time, the Commission requests the official approval and appropriate signatures on the
attached amendment which extends the term of the JPA until January 1, 2025. This action must be
taken by each member city by December 31, 2014.
Please mail the signed amendment to the Commission Administrator at:
Laura Jester
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
c/o 16145 Hillcrest Lane
Eden Prairie, MN 55346
Once all signatures are gathered, a complete amendment will be mailed back to you for your records.

The new building would have a footprint of 9,904 square feet and total square footage of 19,860.
The first floor would contain two showrooms as well as sales offices and workspaces. An elevator

Morrie's Luxury Auto - Go/den Valley
Preliminary PUD Application
7400 Wayzata Boulevard
Golden Valley, Minnesota
Proiect Narrative:
Introduction:
• The Applicant, Morrie's Automotive Group is making a formal application to change
their existing property at 7400 Wayzata Boulevard to a Planned Unit Development
(PUD).
General Project Scope:
• The purpose for creating a PUD, is to allow the applicant to develop the existing site as
a luxury automotive development. Currently Morrie's Cadillac Saab is located on the
site, and the applicant would like to construct another showroom facility that will house
additional high-end luxury automobile lines.
• Under the PUD, the current parcel will be platted into two lots, and each building will be
located on separate lots.
Site Design:
• The proposed location of the high-end luxury showroom facility is east of the current
building, which is currently a vehicle display lot.
• Vehicle display will be located on the northeast portion of the site. Customer parking
for the proposed high-end luxury showroom facility will be located in front.
• No modification to the existing site lighting is anticipated.
Building Design:
• The proposed high-end luxury showroom building, consists of a two story structure,
with showrooms on both levels. Service write-up located is located befinreen the main
level showrooms. All service work for the high-end luxury vehicles will be performed in
the existing Cadillac/Saab service department.
• The construction type proposed to the new building is II-B, and will be fully sprinklered.
• The proposed exterior building material consist of a combination of glass, aluminum
composite (ACM) rain-screen system, and face brick. The colors of the proposed
building materials will be of a lighter tone, which will blend with the existing building
colors.
,:kF
Morrie's Luxury Auto—Golden Valley
PUD Application
February 21,2014 �
• Building signage will consist of individual illuminated channel characters for verbiage,
and the manufacturer's logo mark will be a backlit cabinet sign.
• The finro main showrooms will each have the separate entrance to their respective
showrooms.
Landscaping:
• Existing landscaping will remain as is, except around the perimeter of the proposed
high-end luxury showroom building.
• Landscaping around the new facility will consist of a variety of foundation planting
around the building perimeter, a hedge along the east edge of the customer parking,
and several over-story shade trees at the northeast corner of the building.
• The sidewalk in front of the proposed showroom facility will be either a decorative
stamped concrete or pavers, which will match the sidewalks around the Cadillac/Saab
building.
• The total landscaped area (pervious surface) will increase from the current condition.
• There currently are no trees located in the general area of the proposed development,
thus a Tree Preservation Plan is not required.
Grading & Drainage:
• Grading/drainage will be limited to the extent required around the praposed showroom
building. The general drainage direction will remain as currently exists, which is to the
southeast.
• The total hard surface (impervious surFace) will decrease from the current condition.
Conclusion:
We believe this PUD request should be granted for the following reasons:
• The creation of this PUD will increase the land density within the 1394 corridor, and
eliminate the view of expansive display lot from Wayzata Boulevard/394.
• The proposed use is compatible with the adjacent businesses, and because of the
nature of the product sold, it is a destination point, and will not create an excessive
amount of traffic.
• The proposed building design, and exterior building materials are high-end, and
complement the designs of the existing adjacent buildings.
• The proposed development reduces the total amount of impervious surfaces on that
site.

Development (PUD� - Ilf��a�rie's�Automotive Group PUD #115
Applicant: Mo�rrie's Automotive Group
Address 74Q0 �%llayz�ta Blvd.
Rurpose: ' To �Ilow the addition of a new standalone dealership with customer
service support area within the existing parking lot.
Zim�n�,rman re�errecl to a location map and stated that the applicant is proposing to build an
additional, stand-alone, dealership within the existing parking lot. Lot 1 would contain the
current Ca�d��ac dealership and the proposed new Lot 2, located in the southeast corner of
the property, would contain a new Maserati & Bentley dealership. Access to the new lot
would be through an existing shared, private driveway along the south lot line.
Zimmerman explained that the proposed new building will be finro stories in height, 19,680
square feet in size, and will consist of showroom space, sales offices, and work spaces. He
referred to the parking on the site and stated that the Zoning Code requires this
development to have 216 parking spaces. The Cadillac dealership will have 283 parking
spaces and the Maserati/Bentley dealership would have 27 parking spaces.

Zimmerman stated that the applicant is proposing to install foundation plantings around the
perimeter of the building, shade trees in the northeast corner and a hedge to the east of the
customer parking area to provide screening. He added that the overall the amount of
impervious surFace will be reduced. Segelbaum asked if the numbers on the comparison
chart in the staff report represent the entire property within the PUD or just the proposed
new lot. Zimmerman said the numbers on the chart in his staff report are specific to the
proposed new lot.
Segelbaum asked if the proposed new lot would cause the existing Cadil�ac building to
become non-conforming. Zimmerman said the proposed new building=v��ii�l have no impact
on the existing building or the setbacks. �3=��.
Waldhauser asked if there have been discussions with the applicant regardir��,ways to do
more to improve water retention or infiltration on the site. Zimmerman stated that the
proposal meets the minimum requirements but they will be encouraged to do more in regard
to water quality.
Kluchka asked why this proposal is considered to be a single use rather than a dual use
because it is car sales and service which could be considered to be two uses. Zimmerman
stated that the proposed uses are considered to be a single;use because they are both
commercial in nature.
_
Kluchka asked if there is a private s�reet�`agr.�errient t�etween all of the parties that use it to
access their properties. He also ��ked��ifr�here;are any plans by the City to make the private
street a public street. Zimmermat�,state�;that�tFiere is an agreement regarding the use of the
private street and that the C��y�f�as'np plans to rriake it a public street.
Kluchka asked if the City is;requiring the applicant to plant additional trees. Zimmerman said
there are trees prop;osed to��be��i�istalled behind the new building, but there are no trees
planned for the land�c��ed frontage as required in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning district.
Waldhauser said she'�s not3s�re;t�i�re is enough room for additional trees along the front.
Peter Coyl�, P�ttorn��;repyresenting the applicant, stated that Morrie's currently has a high
end deal�rsh�p�ih�Minr�eto�lka that they would move to this Golden Valley site if the
requested'�FUb,is approved. He stated that they hope, in the future, to accommodate an
additional brand'as well. He explained that they want to service their high-end clients and
that the deale�ship being proposed is not equivalent to other types/brands of dealerships.
He saict that they are not objectionable to any of the conditions listed in the staff reports and
that they understand there will be more conversations regarding drainage, sidewalk, and
landscape issues.
Waldhauser asked if the east and west sides of the proposed new building could
accommodate some windows or something to visually break up the brick fa�ade.
Darwin Lindahl, Architect for the proposal, stated that there will be some windows on the
west side of the building, however, they don't want their customers seeing their competitors
to the east when they are in the showrooms. He added that there are also very specific

designs that they have to follow per the manufacturer. Kluchka said the Planning
Commission has to consider the design and wants high quality design. He stated that the
glass and aluminum proposed in the front is in such contrast with the brick on the other
sides and asked if the building could be more consistent on three sides. Lindahl stated that
he would talk to the manufacturer and try to accommodate the City's wishes. He added that
this proposed design has already been reviewed and approved by the finro manufacturers
but there may be some different design options they would consider.
Waldhauser asked about the brick veneer shown on the plans. Lindahl �ta�t�tthat the brick
veneer being proposed is just a regular, buff colored brick that will cornplement the Infiniti
and Cadillac dealerships. Kluchka suggested they submit color illustra#ions before their next
review.
Segelbaum referred to the site plan and stated that the proposed new"Lot 2 seems much
more densely built and he is concerned about the traffic flow and pat�erns.being too tight.
Coyte said they don't have any concerns about the tra�c;patte�ns an�,added that the site
has been designed to be able to move the vehicles i��and'�out.. ��� �
fi
Waldhauser stated that there is a desire for sideviialk along.the west side of the property
and asked if it is possible to add a pedestrian throughway an the south side of the property.
� Coyle said he didn't think a sidewalk along.the:soufh would �e possible because of the
private easement and a MnDOT easernent along that side of the property. He added that he
also thinks a sidewalk along the south would be unsafe and would not take pedestrians
anywhere other than into another dealership.
Kluchka asked if the Cadillac�dealership has plans to screen their HVAC equipment and
tank located in the back c�rner of;#he property. Coyle said�he is not aware of any plans, but
they would respond to requ�sts,r�gardin��.the screening of their equipment.

,Y.. 'i F,y::
Kluchka opened the publir,heari�q. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Kluchka closed the public �rea��ng:
Waldhauser,said sh�,wo'�!d like to see more green space on the property and suggested
more tre�s�be inalud�d in�the sidewalk plans along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Kluchka ask�sl a�ic�ut the City's landscaping goals along Pennsylvania Avenue. Grimes said
he is:taot awar�;of any landscaping plans as part of the sidewalk plan for Pennsylvania
Avenue �nd added that additional landscaping along Pennsylvania Avenue could be added
as a con�itioi�'of approval. Kluchka asked if it would be appropriate to enforce the language
in the Code requiring 1 tree per 50' of landscaped frontage.
Segelbaum said this PUD seems to focus on Lot 2. He said would like to see improvements
on Lot 1 as well. He added that he agrees with Commissioner Waldhauser that the
proposed brick sides of the building look very stark in contrast to the loud front and would
encourage that the west side especially be dressed up with windows.

Kluchka suggested adding a condition that requires the applicant to plant 1 tree per 50' of
landscaped frontage along Pennsylvania Avenue as required in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning
district. Cera said he would like a condition added that encourages the applicant to consider
ways to increase the amount of pervious surFace on Lot 1 as well.
Kluchka suggested adding a condition stating that the fa�ade design shall be reviewed for
ways to improve the consistency of the fa�ade from the front, west, and east.
Waldhauser referred to water retention and water treatment on the site and;asked if the
water from all the parking lots drain to the road in the front or if any of it is retained or
treated on the site. Brady Busselman, mfra, Engineer for the project, said currently the
water from the site does drain toward Wayzata Blvd. Waldhauser asked ifi any on-site water
retention or water treatment was considered during the review process.of this proposal.
Grimes stated those issues were reviewed and that applican#s a`r� encouragetl'to do on-site
water retention and treatment, but because of its size, this project i��gxempt��rom some of
the requirements. Oliver stated that he has had conver��tions v+��th th`�ra�iplicant and that
they have submitted new plans that will be addressed,during,�he:Final PUD review process.

From: Jason Zimmerman, City Planner
Subject: Informal Public Hearing— Preliminary PUD Plan for Morrie's Automotive
(Maserati & Bentley) PUD No. 115—7400 Wayzata Boulevard—Morrie's
Automotive Group, Applicant
Background
Morrie's Automotive Group is seeking approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Permit to
develop an additional, stand-alone, dealership within the existing parking lot at 7400 Wayzata
Boulevard. A new lot would be created in the southeast corner of the property. The site currently
contains the Morrie's Cadillac dealership; it would be joined by a Maserati and Bentley dealership
in the new building.
The property is zoned "I-394 Mixed Use" and guided for long-term "Mixed Use" on the General
Land Use Plan map. The total lot area is 5.6 acres; it is bounded by Highway 394 to the south and
Pennsylvania Avenue South to the west. The adjacent property to the east contains the Infiniti
dealership and the adjacent property to the north contains the Liberty Carton factory.
Summary of Proposal
The proposed PUD would allow the Applicant to subdivide the existing property and create two
lots. Lot 1, containing the Cadillac dealership, would be 4.6 acres; Lot 2, containing the new
Maserati and Bentley dealership, would be 1 acre. The new building would be located on the
southeast portion of the property and would have parking both to the south and north.
The new building would have a footprint of 9,904 square feet and total square footage of 19,860.
The first floor would contain two showrooms as well as sales offices and workspaces. An elevator
on the north side of the building would allow cars to be brought up to an additional pre-owned
showroom on the second floor.
The front (south) facade of the building wouid consist mostly of a curtain wall of clear glass with
illuminated signage and a clear glass overhead door. Face brick veneer would make up the
majority of the other three facades, with an additional overhead door located on the north side
of the building.
New landscaping would be installed around the foundation of the building and a hedge would be
added to the east side of the customer parking area to the south. New over-story shade trees
would be added along the east side of the north customer parking area. Overall, the amount of
impervious surfaces on the lot would be reduced.
After the subdivision, the Cadillac dealership would be left with 256 spaces. The new Maserati
and Bentley dealerships would share 27 spaces for a total of 283 spaces on-site. Code requires a
minimum of only 216 spaces for these uses, resulting in an excess of 67 spaces.
A private road runs along the south side of the property and provides access not only to the
Applicant's property, but to other businesses further to the east via a driveway easement. The
new Lot 2 will require use of this road and the existing curb cut into the Cadillac dealership lot.

PUD 115 - Site Map
Land Use and Zoning Considerations
The property was guided for long-term Mixed Use development in the Comprehensive Plan in
2008. At that time, it was also zoned "I-394 Mixed Use." Although the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning
District requires a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor auto sales, a PUD would allow the
development to occur without this requirement.
The I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District regulates Dimensional Standards,the Density and Mix of Uses,
and various Development Standards. The Code allows the City to approve alternative approaches
that achieve the same design objectives. As a PUD, the City can also offers flexibility from the
regular zoning requirements in order to achieve a better development.
The following table summarizes how closely the requirements of the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning
District are met under the current proposal:

Public Works and Fire Safety Considerations
As is standard practice for development proposals, plans for this proposal were reviewed by the
City's Public Works Department to ensure the site can be adequately served by public utilities and
that traffic issues are resolved. A memorandum from the Public Works Department that addresses
sanitary sewer and water services, stormwater management, and tree preservation and
landscaping is attached.
The Fire Department reviewed this proposal to ensure that buildings are equipped with fire
protection systems and that adequate emergency vehicle access is achieved on the site. A
memorandum from the Fire Department that addresses fire hydrants, water supply, and No
Parking Fire Lane signs is attached.
Justification for Consideration as a PUD
The PUD process is an optional method of regulating land use in order to permit flexibility in uses
allowed, setbacks, height, parking requirements, and number of buildings on a lot. Staff has
determined that this application qualifies as a PUD because it achieves the following standards
established in City Code:
• Achieves a high quality of site planning, design, landscaping, and building materials which
are compatible with the existing and planned land uses.
• Encourages creativity and flexibility in land development.
• Encourage efficient and effective use of land, open space, streets, utilities, and other public
facilities.
• Achieve development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
• Achieve development consistent with the City's redevelopment plans and goals.
In order to be approved as a PUD, the City must be able to make the following findings:
1. Quality Site Planning. The PUD plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of the site and
achieves a higher quality of site planning and design than generally expected under
conventional provisions of the ordinance.
2. Preservation. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of the
site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep
slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands, and open waters.
3. Efficient—Effective. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes
preservation) of the land.
4. Compatibility. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
5. General Health.The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general
health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City.
6. Meets Requirements.The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all
other PUD ordinance provisions.

Public Works staff has reviewed the plans submitted by Morrie's Automotive Group (Developer)
for construction of a new automobile dealership on a portion of the existing Cadillac dealer-
ship site. The proposed redevelopment, called Morrie's Luxury Auto, is located on the property
known as 7400 Wayzata Boulevard,which is east of Pennsylvania Avenue South and north of
Interstate 394. This memorandum discusses issues identified during the Public Works review
that must be addressed prior to approval of the Final PUD Plans. The comments contained in
this review are based on the plans submitted to the City on February 21, 2014.
Site Plan
This redevelopment includes the creation of a new parcel in the southeast corner of the existing
Cadillac dealership for the construction of a two-level, 19,860 square foot automobile showroom
and customer service building. A portion of the existing Cadillac parking lot will be removed to
accommodate the new building and associated parking facilities. Landscape improvements are
proposed along with a decrease in overall impervious surface area.
The City's street system in the vicinity of this project is adequate to accommodate the vehicle
trips generated by the development. The existing Cadillac parking lot will be modified to allow
for construction of the new dealership and there are no changes proposed to the site circulation
within the PUD or access to the City's street system. The Driveway Easement (Document
1033214) which provides the car dealership to the east of this site access to Pennsylvania Avenue
South may need to be modified to ensure that the new parcel has permanent access to the City's
street system. The Developer must provide copies of this easement to the City.
The City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan identifies a future sidewalk on the east side of
Pennsylvania Avenue South extending from Wayzata Boulevard to Laurel Avenue.The concrete
G:\Developments-Private\Morrie's Auto Maserati PUD 115\PrelimPUDReview_031714.docx
sidewalk must meet City standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Prior to
Final PUD Plan approval,the City will determine whether the Developer must construct the
portion of the sidewalk adjacent to the PUD or post a financial deposit for future construction by
the City.
Preliminarv Plat
This development includes subdividing the existing property into two new parcels. Lot 1 will
contain the existing Cadillac dealership and Lot 2 will be home to the new Maserati and Bentley
showroom.The preliminary plat and associated plans submitted for review did not include a
survey showing the existing conditions on and adjacent to the site. The Developer must submit a
survey as part of the Final PUD Plans.
The preliminary plat submitted includes the dedication of right-of-way along Interstate 394 and
Pennsylvania Avenue South. However, it does not include the dedication of easements. The
proposed final plat must include the dedication of drainage and utility easements consistent with
the City's Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, since the development is adjacent to Interstate 394,
MnDOT will review the plat and may provide additional comments.
Utilitv Plan
The City's sanitary sewer and water systems that provide service to these properties have
adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed redevelopment. The Developer has
demonstrated that extension of services is possible, as shown in the Utility Plan.
This proposed development is within the sanitary sewershed that is tributary to a system capacity
issue near the intersection of Laurel Avenue and Turners Crossroad. The City's 24-inch diameter
sanitary sewer is effectively at capacity in this location and there is minimal capacity available for
future redevelopment along the 1394 corridor. However,the proposed use at this location is a
low generator of wastewater flow and will contribute minimat flows.
The proposed sanitary sewer and water services for the new building will be extended into the
site for the existing City facilities within Pennsylvania Avenue.The Developer will be required to
obtain Sewer and Water Permits, and a Right-of-Way Management Permit for this installation of
these services.
The Developer will own and be responsible for the sanitary sewer from the point of connection to
the City sewer to the building. The Developer will also own and be responsible for the
maintenance of the water service from the new valve at the point of connection to the City main
to the building.The City will own and maintain the valve at the point of connection.
The Preliminary Utility Plan submitted for review does not indicate any structural piling to
support the sanitary sewer and water services. The soils in the vicinity of this property have
resulted in utility service issues on adjacent properties resulting from soil settlement.The
Developer will be required to submit information from a soils engineer regarding the need for
pile support of the utility services as part of the final PUD submittal.
G:\Developments-Private\Morrie's Auto Maserati PUD 115\PrelimPUDReview_031714.docx
The existing and new buildings within this PUD must comply with the City's Inflow and Infiltration
Ordinance. The existing building has been inspected and staff is in the process of determining if
repairs are needed. The Developer must perform any repairs deemed necessary and obtain a
Certificate of Inflow and Infiltration Compliance, or post and escrow for repairs, prior to final PUD
approval. A Certificate of Compliance must be obtained for the new building prior to occupancy.
Stormwater Mana�ement
This proposed redevelopment is within the Sweeney Lake sub-district of the Bassett Creek
Watershed and is therefore subject to the review and comment of the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission (BCWMC). Due to the scope of redevelopment,the project is not
subject to the BCWMC requirements for water quality and rate control, however, the plans will
be reviewed for erosion and sediment control best management practices.
Sweeney Lake is listed as an impaired water for nutrients (phosphorus) by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency. Review by the City and BCMWC will include an evaluation for
compliance with the Sweeney Lake Tota) Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan.
The plans submitted by the Developer include the reduction of impervious surface area
(approximately 6,700 square feet), which is recognized as an effective best management practice.
However, the City recommends that the Developer explore additional opportunities for water
quality treatment which will strive to meet the goals and policies set forth in the TMDL.
Stormwater calculations must be submitted as part of the Final PUD Plans.
All existing and proposed storm sewer facilities that are part of this development will be
owned and maintained by the Property Owner. The Devetoper will be required to enter into
a Maintenance Agreement with the City for the storm sewer facilities installed as part of
the development.
This PUD is also subject to the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance.The City must approve
the Stormwater Management Plans prior to submittal to the BCWMC. In addition,the PUD is
subject to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's NPDES Construction Permit. A copy of this
permit must be obtained by the Developer and provided to the City, prior to issuance of any
permits to begin work on site.
Tree Preservation Plan and Landscape Plan
This PUD is subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance and Minimum Landscape Standards.
The plans submitted with this application include a Landscape Plan. The City Forester will review
the plans in more detail, prior to Final PUD Plan submittal, to determine if additional information
is required.
Prior to approval of the Fina1 PUD, the Developer will be required to post a financial security as a
guarantee that the landscaping will survive the two-year warranty period. Therefore,the
Developer must submit to the City an estimate of the cost to furnish and install the landscape
materials prior to Final Plan submittal.

Executive Summary for Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
April 17, 2014
Agenda Item
6. A. Bottineau Transitway Update
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, City Planner
Summary
The first meetings with the station area planning consultants have taken place. A timeline is being
developed that will aim to have station area plans for Golden Valley and Minneapolis completed
by March of 2015. Golden Valley's Bottineau LRT Planning Advisory Committee will be used as a
resource to contribute ideas and react to concepts throughout the process.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) document has been released. It can be
downloaded from the project web site (www.bottineautransitway.org) or found in hard copy at
the Golden Valley Library or at the Planning Desk at City Hall. A 45 day comment period began on
April 11 and will end on May 29. During this time there are a number of ways that residents can
comment on the DEIS document, including speaking at a public hearing, submitting written
comments by mail, or submitting electronic comments by email.
Hennepin County will be holding four public meetings on the DEIS throughout the corridor. The
first will take place at Golden Valley City Hall on Wednesday, May 7, with an open house at 6 pm
and a public hearing at 7 pm.
There will be a Joint Commission meeting of the Planning, Open Space and Recreation, and
Environmental Commissions on Thursday, May 15, at 7 pm to receive any additional public
comments and to prepare a recommendation to the City Council for its official response to the
DEIS.

Guide to the Draft EIS
04.03.2014
��� i� th� G�r�� ��� ��������d`�
The Draft EIS is organized into chapters, generally starting with overall information like need for the
project and alternatives, and progressing into chapters dedicated to project impacts. Chapters toward
the end of the document focus more on the process, including public and agency involvement, and
evaluation of alternatives.
Impact chapters include subsections for specific impact categories such as air quality,floodplains, or
transit. Each impact subsection includes:
■ Regulatory Corrtext/Methodology- the laws governing the particular resource, and the
methods used for evaluation
■ StudyArea - defines the area studied for the particular resource.This can change based on
the resource, i.e.the area studied for cultural resources is greaterthan the area studied for

The proposed Bottineau Transitway Project is a 13-mile corridor of transportation improvements that extends from downtown
Minneapolis to the northwest,serving north Minneapolis,Golden Valley, Robbinsdale,Crystal, New Hope,Osseo, Brooklyn
Park,and Maple Grove.The Bottineau Transitway is anticipated to also serve a broader area to the northwest, including the
communities of Dayton and Rogers. It will integrate with the region's system of transitways, including the existing Blue Line
LRT(Hiawatha),the Green Line LRT(Central Corridor and the planned Southwest line), bus rapid transit(BRT)on the Red Line
(Cedar Avenue)and Orange Line(I-35W South),the Northstar Commuter Rail,and local and express bus routes.The purpose of
the Bottineau Transitway is to provide transit service which will satisfy the long-term regional mobility and accessibility needs for
businesses and the traveling public.
Transportation and land use studies along the Bottineau Transitway date back to the late 1980s. Previous studies include
regional system studies,corridor studies,and site-specific studies.The Bottineau Transitway is currently included in the 2030
Transportation Policy Plan,the region's long-range transportation plan; Hennepin County's long-range transportation plan;the
Hennepin County Transportation System Plan (TSP);and the comprehensive and transportation plans of the local municipalities
in the study area.

The primary purpose of the Bottineau Transitway Draft EIS is to assist decision-makers in the assessment of impacts associated
with the Bottineau Transitway Project.The Draft EIS documents the purpose and need for the project,alternatives considered,
and addresses the anticipated transportation,social,and environmental impacts,and defines appropriate mitigation measures.
The Draft EIS serves as the primary document to facilitate review by federal,state,and local agencies and the general public of
the proposed project.This Draft EIS will be circulated for review to interested parties,including private citizens,community groups,
the business community,elected officials,and public agencies in accordance with federal and state requirements.Public hearings
will be held to provide a forum for agency and citizen participation and comment. Responses to comments received during
circulation of the Draft EIS will be responded to and both the comments and responses will be documented in the Final EIS.
The Federal Transit Administration as the federal lead agency,the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority,as the state
lead agency,and the Metropolitan Council,as the local project sponsor have prepared this Draft EIS to satisfy both the National
Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)and the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act(MEPA).
