Purpose: To convert the vacant 60-unit senior living facility into a 111-unit
assisted living and memory care facility.
Zimmerman explained the applicant's request to expand the existing vacant senior living
facility from 60 units to 110 units, not 111 units as stated in the application materials. He
stated that the proposed expansion includes finro and three story additions with secure
gardens/patios on the north and east ends of the existing building.

Zimmerman discussed the parking requirements and stated that there are currently 35
parking spaces on the property. He explained that 23 spaces are required and 28 spaces
are being proposed. He stated that the applicant is also proposing additional screening for
the single family home to the northeast and the multi-family buildings to the south.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan of the property and discussed how the proposal
compares to the underlying zoning district requirements. He stated that the side yard
setback along the west will be 12.5 feet instead of 50 feet with a 25 foot landscaped buffer,
however it will be no closer to the west side property line than the curre � buil��ng. He stated
that the setback along the south property line will be 25 feet rather tha r��3 feet���?d the front
yard setback will be 31 feet rather than 35 feet which is consisten ��ith°t��e neighk� ring
building. He stated that the new parking lot will be 17 feet from t,�� side I������e r �er than
providing a 25 foot landscaped butter, and the lot coverage wil���e 27°��ratfi��� ���n the 25%
allowed in the Insti#utional zoning district. �=o �r ��� �

Segelbaum asked if the proposed amount of impervio����urfac��chan��� between the
Preliminary PUD review and the Final PUD review.��,�, me���� st�ted that the amount of
impervious surFace increased slightly from the Pr�liminary Plan�;'but the applicant has stated
that they are going to use pervious pavers wher�ver they ��n.

Link Wilson, Kaas Wilson architects, dis �ssed�° he���� ��

Cera asked about the locati�n��bf;sno,�r°�torage on the property. Wilson stated that there is
some space on the east��de of the pr�`perty that can be used for snow storage. Otherwise,
if there is a significant am�c��t�t �f��now thiey may have to haul it off site.
��
����
Waldhauser asked � ��sor� �Q ex�I�in how the surface water will drain off the site. Wilson
said the water fif��Zws fr�ams �rth�et�southeast on the site. He said they will be improving the
rate control, and vV��� be.d�ing some terracing of the slope on the neighboring property and
adding ca�k��b ins�� w�ll.

Segelbau��, ot�� that during the Preliminary PUD review it was mentioned that a portion of
th���esiden���ou���;be eligible for subsidies. He asked if that has changed. Wilson said that
has r�t�t changed.

Baker ask��l°Wilson if anything has changed in relation to the existing house to the north.
Wilson said no, and added that he thinks they'll be able solve some of the erosion issues
the neighboring property has been having.
Blum asked Wilson to explain how they will prevent patient walkaways. Wilson said it is a
misnomer that people can just walk away. He explained that the memory care units will be
on the second and third floors with their own screened-in deck area. He said there is also

Kluchka opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser said it is exciting to have a facility like this in Golden Valley and the applicant
has done a good job of making it fit. Cera agreed and said he is glad a vacant facility will be
used. Segelbaum agreed and commended the applicant for being a go��;��i��� bor. Kluchka
said he is comfortable with the proposed snow storage areas and pe�'c�us su��� e
techniques being proposed on the site. q�, ����� �

7218 Harold Avenue — PU-119
Applicant: Peter Knaeble
Address: 7200 and 7218 Harold Avenue
Purpose: To allow for the reconfiguration of the two existing single family
properties into a new five-lot single family developm����������
,�� � ������
Zimmerman explained the applicant's proposal to develop five sin�l� ���n�es on ��
existing single family lots totaling 1.6 acres. He stated that the d ��ity wo�t���� be ` �125
units per acre and that the R-2 zoning district allows up to 8 uni ��per �Sre.'F�I���x�ed that
all five proposed new homes would have direct access onto��`-la�'old� ���enue and that the
applicant is proposing a tree conservation easement area on���►e b��k (nort�� half of the
properties. �°e �k� `��������`
_�
_,
Zimmerman discussed how this PUD proposal v�ries fror�n the R � zoning district
requirements. He stated that the lot width requirement in fhe R-2 zoning district is 100
feet. Four of the proposed lots would be 42 �� t wi�e and one lot would be 55.2 feet
wide. He stated that the side yard setba�;l��r�e`c��irem�;nt in the R-2 zoning district is 15
feet. The applicant is proposing a 5 foot'�etback on the west side, and an 8 foot setback
on the east side of each lot. Zimmer,,r� n�added'thatthere is also a requirement in the
�
PUD section of the Zoning Code�r��� b ��g rn�ta whichP states that no building shall be
closer than its height to the side����d pr�4perty����� abutting a single family zoning district.
Zimmerman stated that st ff is r�omi��nding denial of the PUD proposal because it
does not meet the neces' �ry fir�� �ngs to9��pprove a PUD. Specifically, it does not achieve
a high quality of site.planning,E��fiails to preserve high quality features, it does not
demonstrate efficient,Use;Qf lani�:,and it does not meet the PUD Intent and Purpose
provision. c���� ����� ����rX` `�
��� e��
Kluchka referred to�the P,�1D language stating that no building shall be closer than its
� � �< ���� � �:.
height tp�the side y�r�,�roperty line and asked if the intent was not to have a building
next to a�� 1`�p���Operty: Zimmerman stated that the City can't offer flexibility from the
PUI� requir��ent����ike it can from the underlying zoning code requirements. Segelbaum
saicl�i�:�s an in�tarpretation issue. He noted that the language says that no building shall
.��� � �
be closer��han.�ifs height to the side yard property line abutting a single family zoning
district. In ���� case the subject property abuts an R-2 zoning district. Zimmerman agreed
that an interpretation is needed and added that both single family homes and twin homes
are allowed in the R-2 zoning district. Segelbaum asked if it is appropriate for the
Planning Commission to offer an interpretation. Zimmerman said yes.
Baker asked about the distance befinreen the existing home at 7236 Harold Avenue and
the proposed new house on Lot 1. Zimmerman said there would be approximately 15

feet between the existing house (7236 Harold Avenue) and the proposed new house on
Lot 1.
Segelbaum referred to the site plan and noted the staggered front yard setback lines. He
asked if the applicant will have control over where the houses are placed on the lots, or if
the City would just be approving a building envelope area. Zimmerman stated that the
PUD Permit could say where the building envelopes can be located.
Segelbaum asked if a cul-de-sac plan is viable. Zimmerman said staff h����� �n plans for
a cul-de-sac with seven or eight homes. He said there is some concerj;r about�tl�
neighbors objecting to the density and there has been some push-bacl���om the� �
applicant about the cost of the cul-de-sac plan, but a cul-de-sac ���iuld be s aff's � �

preference. §���� �;���'�_: � _ � ,���

Pete Knaeble, Applicant, said he has spent months trying to a�� ro�r��tel����velop this
site. He handed out drawings of other options he has proposed'��at w��e`not looked at
favorably by the City Council. He referred to the c���-c�e-sac optio�i;and said he likes the
idea of more density, but there are some significai�t issu��s,��that'�ar�'.not appropriate for
this site, and the neighbors are adamant about not wantin�� cul-de-sac. He added that
the cul-de-sac option would also place the#�c��r�es�closer to �lighway 55. He said there
will be five unique, custom built homes and he �I�ready hasn;�hree interested families who
like the cluster of trees in the back, and the par � in the front. He said he disagrees with
staff comments especially that the p�4posal ctoes not rneet the findings necessary to
approve a PUD. He said this typ ;�if project��,�� perFect use for a PUD and the neighbors
will support this proposal becau�e��f th�.high hame values.

Knaeble referred to staff��concer� ab�ut five curb cuts on Harold Avenue and said he
would be able to build two���y�n��omes o`n'this property without any approvals, which tells
him that he is entitl �� � four �i� b cuts. He is asking for one more curb cut which should
� � �������� ��,
not be an issue.
��� ��
��� � � �;�� �������y
Knaeble referre� �� the�vooded area along Highway 55 on the north part of these
propertie���n¢,� id����th�i�ks it is an important buffer to this neighborhood that is being
,;
downpl�� c���n_ ��������[r�ged. He added that he thinks this green area along Highway 55
should b���otected from Glenwood Avenue to Winnetka Avenue because the green
sp���e is cnt���l. H�pstated that these trees are not just low quality trees, there are some
higli q� �ality tr��s that have a high value and are an important part of this proposal. He
said 7��1� f th�trees will remain and 60% of the trees would be in the proposed tree
conserva�i�ri�easement area.
Knaeble stated that another issue with the cul-de-sac would be the amount of impervious
surface. He said he is proposing 16% impervious surface coverage, and the cul-de-sac
would be double that amount. He stated that the City Engineer has said there are
downstream flooding issues and he thinks adding additional impervious surFace is not a
correct response to that issue.

Knaeble referred to staff's comment about the majority of the view of the proposed new
homes from the street would be garage doors. He disagreed with that and showed the
Commissioners drawings of possible types of homes that could be built and reiterated
that the homes will be custom designed.
Knaeble referred to the findings used to approve a PUD and said he disagrees with staff
stating that he doesn't meet four of them. He said he thinks this is a unique project that
does have a high quality site plan that preserves and protects site features by placing
half of the property in an easement area, and protects wetland areas a� �`s�� slopes.
He said he is shocked by staff's recommendation and he doesn't kno���hat e� he
could do above and beyond what he is proposing. He stated that � ff ne�ds to � �
remember the scenic view that will be protected along Highway, ��Knae�le_refe �ed to
�
the finding regarding the efficient use of land and said the wa���ie designed`tl�����roposal
couldn't be any more efficient because he is using existing st�reets�p��d utiliti�s. He said
from his perspective, he is being efficient because a cul-de-sac woul� be.$250,000 and it
is not necessary to spend that money for a cul-de-sac�fhat the G�ty w���d'have to own
and maintain forever. ���� �� ,,�

� _ ;;, i�,
Segelbaum asked Knaeble to comment on the RUD language which states that no
building shall be closer than its height to the s�de�y�rd prop�;rty line. Knaeble said he
spoke with his attorney and other planne��'and'eng���� r� ���nd they all think that
language pertains to taller buildings bein� pla�,�d next�o�"sLingle family residential
properties. He said he thinks that p��fi�qf fhe„�'�l�D�fanguage is not appropriate for this
development. r;����
`"� �� � ���` r,
Segelbaum asked Knaeble,��.�bo�t£t���istance between the houses. Knaeble said the
distance varies from 13 tQ��� feet.3 § �` E,
< ��,,
;�
Segelbaum asked �r���eble tc� discuss other reasons he has discounted the cul-de-sac
option. Knaeble sai��h�„e�r'Atants to� edevelop this property, and he may end up doing the
cul-de-sac opti��n, but he does�����iink it s appropriate in this case. He said the lot sizes
wouldn t meet th�� and�rd in the R-1 zoning district, a cul-de-sac would double the
amount ofi����rt�e� �i���su�face, and would not be a good use of this site. He added that if
Highwa�� 5 rr��s�i��`��n�� �ue he would agree with the cul-de-sac option, but the homes
won't be a�� �a���ble if t�ey are placed closer to Highway 55 so he thinks his current
prti'���sal is�b��ter��,�.
.���� % '� �
Cera asC� d Kt��eble if he has given any thought to acquiring additional lots. Knaeble
said yes.�'���Said the neighbors to the east are not in a position to sell, and he hasn't
pursued the neighbor to the west. He reiterated that he thinks small, single family lots are
the best way to develop this area, not multiple cul-de-sacs that remove the buffer of trees
along Highway 55.
Waldhauser asked Knaeble why the neighbors have said they don't like the cul-de-sac
option. Knaeble said that the average value of the homes would be significantly lower
with seven lots on a cul-de-sac, closer to Highway 55, than five smaller single family lots.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 22, 2014
Page 7
Waldhauser asked about the size of the proposed homes. Knaeble said they would be
approximately 2,000 to 2,400 square feet in size.
Cera asked Knaeble if he has considered building a shorter cul-de-sac, further away
from Highway 55. Knaeble said yes, but from a cost and design point of view, it is more
efficient and better for the environment to develop five lots.
Baker noted that Knaeble said he would not be able to sell the proposed homes because
they would be closer to Highway 55, but then he said he wouldn't consi ����'" r homes
in a shorter cul-de-sac format that would place the homes further awa�= �rom I����way 55.
Knaeble said the cul-de-sac would still have to be built, and he do��n'�� ink that` ` a
���
good trade off. He questioned building a new cul-de-sac to serv��five hom� wh � 'the
infrastructure already exists on Harold Avenue. Baker stated ti�:�# of th��nin ���' es on
the north side of Harold Avenue, only one of them is close ta'�lighwaj�55 w �icf� tells him
�;
there is a desire to build away from Highway 55. Knaeble agre�d an�i add�� that there is
also a desire to save trees, and to build the homes clos��-.to th��park:����er said there
appears to be little market for homes close to Highw�� �;gfl�q��he:idea of a tree
conservation easement is not so much an ameni�,�as�i��i�,a ne�e��ity to make the
proposed development marketable. Knaeble reiferated tha�`the view of the trees along
Highway 55 is important and should not be �Q�nrnp��yed.
,; a .
Kluchka asked who currently owns the p�operties in this��proposal. Knaeble said he owns
the lot on the west at 7218 Harold ����u��a��i Fred �ross owns the lot on the east at
7200 Harold Avenue. Kluchka asl��d Kr1� eble:if the City is asking him to develop these
properties. Knaeble said no. Klucl��a s��ed thafi nobody is asking for these properties to
be redeveloped except for������,ople who own them. Knaeble said he doesn t think
that's true because the Gity rezo�t�d tFi�se properties to R-2 to encourage higher density
and additional housing in t�t��s ar��.

Kluchka opened the��ub�ic heari'; �
��� �'����������.
Larry Kueny, 730���tid�` iivay Road, said nobody in the neighborhood wants the cul-de-
sac optior��������id�t�� ��al plan would be to tear down the two existing homes and
,�,
build tw' ev��ho�ii������t the properties are zoned R-2 and the City wants higher
density.�� �Said�£the houses will be very close together, but a good architect can make it
lot��=�ice. �e��ai���� loves the existing buffer of trees on these properties and if they are
cut do�nrn he w��� be able to see and hear every car on Highway 55. He said the proposed
plan isn'� perfe��t, but he supports it.
Segelbaum asked Kueny if he is concerned about the parking situation in the
neighborhood with the proposed additional curb cuts and the number of events that are
held at Lions Park. Kueny said no. He stated that there are four softball tournaments a
year and two or three soccer tournaments a year, but the parking is not a problem by his
end of the park.

Perry Thom, 320 Louisiana Avenue North, said he wouldn't be concerned about the
parking issues with the addition of five driveways because parking isn't allowed on the
north side of Harold Avenue so nothing would be affected. He said he really appreciates
Knaeble's efforts to include the neighbors in this proposal. He said he loves the
neighborhood and there is an opportunity to have a real gem here. He said homes in a
cul-de-sac would be less than desirable. He said they would not be high valued homes
and he sees that as nothing but a drag on the neighborhood, and a transient opportunity.
He said the City forcing the community to take homes they don't want isn't appropriate
and he doesn't appreciate the cul-de-sac idea because it will eliminate a�lt�'ii����ll of the
trees and lower property values. ���� � ������

Fred Gross, 7200 Harold Avenue, said he has been renting out this�prop���for��e last
13 years. He said he is ambivalent about selling his house because i ��is pro�c��al

Fred Gross, 7200 Harold Avenue, stated.�,hat tk�� last proposal for this site was

Seeing and hearing no o�� else uv�shir�g to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Cera said he thinks�th� Plan�r���ig Commission's concerns are the width of the lots and
the setbacks. He asl�tl��Cr�aeble���he had considered four lots instead of five. Knaeble
said he did con��fder fo�ur l���;���;�t�he thinks five lots fit, are appropriate, and maximize
the density. Cera a�ked, if four lots would allow for larger setbacks. Knaeble said he
doesn't thi'r�` ����re is� s� �ack issue. He said his proposal is not unlike the recent
develop�e����n�Rho���s��nd Avenue just down the street. Those homes are 15 feet
apart, ancl���is ���osed homes would be 13 feet apart.

Kluc�i�� asked��he Commissioners how they felt about four lots, versus five lots. Baker
said he� u��� e to hear about the applicant's other options. Segelbaum said this is the
option the� licant prefers, and he would like to focus on this o ption in front of them.
Waldhauser said she believes part of the reason the City is trying to encourage higher
density is for affordability, not just for increased density. She said it concerns her that
when the City has these opportunities to increase density they continue to keep trying to
maintain the same size and the same price point for new homes as the homes in the
surrounding neighborhood. She said she can understand why the developer and the
neighbors don't want that, but it flies in the face of the goal of increasing density. She

said she would like to have a conversation as a City, and not just as each new
development comes up. Baker agreed and said that is why he wants to see the other
options. He said the City needs other affordable options. Segelbaum said he doesn't
want to discourage the conversation, he just wants to explore the options amongst the
Commission, not necessarily with the applicant, because the applicant has submitted
what he wants to do. Kluchka said unless there is an economic incentive from the City,
more affordable houses aren't going to be built. Baker said affordable housing has many
euphemisms. He said he is not talking about low income, subsidized housing, just
something other than $500,000 homes. Kluchka said the economic rea ��������t a house
can't be torn down and replaced with a new $200,000 house and still,#��� profita�ile to a
developer. He added that the expectation of replacing homes with;I�we��priced hE� es is
not the right expectation to have. ���� t;��a E��g�

but he feels that saving th ��-ees isn t driving the decision to build the houses further
away from Highway 5�t, there`�ust isn't a desire to build the houses right next to the
highway. Kluchka agre�d ��d added that asking the City to maintain a tree conservation
area isn't viabl���vhenithe��r��Se���ivould more than likely be built further away from
Highway 55 anyw�y. Zi�merman added that the City isn't saying that the trees aren't
important�pr Sh��ld�e,re�i'�oved. The City just doesn't want to be responsible for the
conser�r��ior�����ser��r����nrhen private covenants could accomplish the same goal.

regulate h�����t versus setback for this property because in the R-1 district there is a tie
between the height and the setback so she is not sure what to use as a guideline in this
case. Kluchka said there was two years of research and debate on correct setbacks and
massing management, and the character of neighborhoods. He said he'd rather see a
high quality development of the area as a whole, and he is not sure this proposal fits.
Baker agreed and said having homes that are 13 feet apart is dramatically different from
what is there now. Kluchka said he thinks the PUD language regarding height and
setbacks is relevant. Segelbaum said he thinks the height/setback language was meant

for a larger development PUD next to a single family home. He said this isn't a large
development, but it is right up next to a single family home. Baker said they need to think
about ways to encourage overlay districts to make this type of development more
possible, but this proposal doesn't fit today's situation.
Kluchka questioned if the City would rather have this design, or a twin home design as
intended in the R-2 zoning district. Baker said a finrin home might be a more efficient use
of the land. Kluchka agreed. Waldhauser stated that developers have said it is much
more difficult to market a twin home than a small house on a small lot �� ;�_���������

2. The PUD plan does not meet the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and would likely
result in conflict with at least one PUD ordinance provision of minimum required side
yard setbacks for principal buildings. Also, the proposed easement on the east side of
the property should be 25 feet in width as opposed to 20 feet as proposed.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Preliminary Plan for Minor Subdivision of 108 Brunswick
Avenue North — Brunswick Estates—Wooddale Edina, LLC, Applicant
. � w .
��
g�.... �� ._,��- �
Summary of Request
Wooddale Edina, LLC, represented by Steven Schwieters, is proposing to subdivide the property
located at 108 Brunswick Avenue North into two lots. There is one existing single family home on this
lot which would be demolished and replaced with two new single family homes.
The existing lot is 38,610 square feet. City Code requires that each new lot be a minimum of 10,000
square feet in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District. The proposed Lot 1,to the west, would
be 19,100 square feet and the proposed Lot 2, to the east, would be 19,510 square feet. City Code
also requires that each lot have a minimum of 80 feet of width at the front setback line. Lot 1 would
have 113.62 feet of width and Lot 2 would have 126.75 feet of width. The dimensions of both of the
newly created lots provide a sufficient building envelope for development.
Qualification as a Minor Subdivision
The proposed two lot subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property located at 108
Brunswick Avenue North is an existing platted lot of record, the proposed subdivision will produce
fewer than four lots, and it will not create need for public improvements. The Applicant has
submitted the required information to the City that allows for the subdivision to be evaluated as a
minor subdivision.
Staff Review nf Minor Subdivision
Staff has evaluated the proposed lot subdivision request as a minor subdivision to create two lots in
the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District.
The Applicant has submitted a survey of the existing lot prior to the proposed subdivision, as well as a
preliminary plat displaying the two lots after the subdivision. Both lots would have access off of the
cul-de-sac at the end of Brunswick Avenue North.
1
City Engineer Jeff Oliver has submitted a memorandum dated October 7, 2014, regarding
recommendations from the Engineering Division concerning this request. Requirements set forth in
Mr. Oliver's memo are to be included in the recommended action of this subdivision.
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 comments related to this request:
1. Minor subdivisions shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the
appropriate zoning district. Both of the lots of the proposed subdivision meet the requirements
of the R-1 Single Family Zoning District.
2. A minor subdivision may be denied if the City Engineer determines that the lots are not
buildable.The City Engineer finds that the 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.The addition of the new lots will not place an undue strain on City
utility systems.
4. Approval of the minor subdivision may require the granting of certain easements to the City. As
discussed in the Engineering memo, new utility easements must be dedicated and shown on the
Final Plat.
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. No other public agencies
have jurisdiction over the streets adjacent to the site.
6. The City may ask for review of title if required by the City Attorney for dedication of certain
easements. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary prior to approval of
the Final Plat.
7. The minor subdivision may be subject to park dedication requirements.A park dedication fee of
$3,080 (2%of the estimated land value) is required for this subdivision.
8. The conditions spelled out shall provide the only basis for denial of a minor subdivision.
Approval will be granted to any application that meets the established conditions.All conditions
have been met.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor subdivision 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$3,080 shall be paid before Final Plat approval.
3. The City Engineer's memorandum, dated October 7, 2014, shall become part of this approval.

Engineering staff has reviewed the plans for a proposed minor subdivision of property located at
108 Brunswick Avenue North.The Developer proposes to demolish the existing home and
subdivide the parcel into two single-family lots. The comments contained in this review are based
upon plans submitted to the City on September 25, 2014.
Engineering staff recommends approval of the proposed minor subdivision of property located at
108 Brunswick Avenue North, called Brunswick Estates, subject to the following comments:
1. A City demolition permit, stormwater management permit, and utility permits are
required for the demolition of the existing home.
2. The Developer has submitted a preliminary plat which appears to meet the City's
Subdivision Ordinance. The final plat for this development must include public easements
on all property lines consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance.
3. A City Right-of-Way Management permit is required for each parcel for any proposed
excavations and obstructions within public right-of-way or easements.
a. Each lot will have its own concrete driveway apron. It appears the driveway apron
for Lot 1 has been moved to the northeast to eliminate the existing driveway
encroachment onto Lot 14, Block 5 of Tralee.This modification and the
construction of a new driveway for Lot 2 will require City Right-of-Way permits
and the concrete aprons must meet City standards.
4. The Developer has shown on the plans that utilities can be extended to serve the
proposed dwellings. The Developer or Contractor will be required to obtain the
appropriate sewer and water permits from the City for the removal, rehabilitation, or
G:\Developments-Private\Brunswick Estates-108 Brunswick N\Subdivision Review brunswick estates.docx
installation of utility services. Staff has the following comments regarding the proposed
utility construction:
a. A Right-of-Way Permit is required for all excavations and obstructions within City
right-of-way. Based on the plans submitted, it appears Brunswick Avenue will need
to be excavated in order to install new utilities. Brunswick Avenue was constructed
by the City in 2005 and therefore must be restored according to the applicable City
standard detail, available in the Engineering office.
b. Records show that there is an existing storm sewer drain tile located in front of the
property and a service is stubbed to the existing home at 108 Brunswick Avenue
North. Staff recommends that the Developer extend the drain tile and install an
additional service to ensure that each parcel has a service stub available for
connection. If a sump pump is installed in each home,the discharge pipe must be
connected to this drain tile system.
5. Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Reduction
a. The existing sanitary sewer service to 108 Brunswick Avenue North is in the
process of being inspected for compliance with the I/I ordinance. Depending on
the results of the inspection,the Developer may need to enter into an I/I Deposit
Agreement with the City to guarantee that the service becomes compliant with
the I/I ordinance.
b. The two new parcels must obtain compliance with the City's Inflow and Infiltration
Ordinance, prior to occupancy of the homes.
6. A preliminary grading plan was submitted by the Developer. The new lots will be custom-
graded at the time of home construction, and therefore a City Stormwater Management
Permit will be required for each parcel before the start of home construction. A
stormwater management plan that meets City standards is required as part of each
permit submittal. The Developer and its Contractors must ensure that existing drainage
patterns are maintained or improved and that stormwater runoff is accommodated within
the property to the extent practicable.
7. This development is subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Because each lot
will be custom-graded, a separate Tree Preservation Permit will be required for each lot
prior to the start of home construction. The City Forester will review the tree inventory,
tabulations, and plans in detail at the time of permitting.
8. There is a deferred assessment of$3,200 for the reconstruction of streets adjacent to this
property as part of the City's 2005 Pavement Management Program. The assessment
must be paid prior to final plat approval.
9. The developer and/or contractor must obtain the appropriate permits prior to
development of this site.

Approval of this minor subdivision is also subject to the review and comment of the City Attorney
and other City staff. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter.

Mesnorandum
DATE: September 22, 2014
TO: Golden Valley City Council and City Manager
FROM: City Attorney
SUBJECT: Application Review During Moratorium
This memorandum summarizes what state law and city ordinances say about
reviewing subdivision and PUD applications during the recently enacted 6 month
moratorium.
Statutory Authority for Moratorium
Under state law, Golden Valley has the authority to enact an "interim" or
temporary ordinance that "regulates, restricts, or prohibits any use, development, or
subdivision" within the City for up to one year. Minn. Stat. �462.355, subd. 4(a). During
this time, the City must conduct a study or hearing to consider changes to the City's
subdivision, zoning and/or Comp Plan regulations.
Moratorium's Scope and Time
The moratorium passed by City Council on September 16 precludes the City from
reviewing or approving any new subdivision or PUD application filed after the effective
date of the moratorium that has a "single family residential component". The moratorium
lasts for 6 months, during which the City is to study the issues highlighted in the
moratorium, and make any changes to the zoning and subdivision regulations warranted
by the conclusions of the study.
Limits on Moratorium—Applications in the Pipeline
Subdivision Applications with Pyeliminary Approvals. Under state law, a
moratorium cannot "halt, delay or impede a subdivision that has been given preliminary
approval." Minn. Stat. �462.355, subd. 4(c). The regulations that are in effect at the time
the application was preliminarily approved applies to the review of the final plat. Minn.
Stat. �462.358, subd. 3(c).
All Applications Submitted Before Moratorium. Under state law, a moratorium
does not stop the 60/120 day clock on applications filed before the effective date of the
moratorium. Minn. Stat. �462.355, subd. 4(c). This means that the City should act on all
applications in the pipeline within the time limits set by state law or risk having those
applications automati.cally approved under the state's 60/120 day rule. Minn. Stat.
�15.99.
Review Standards. Subdivisions must be approved if they meet the conditions of
approval in the subdivision ordinance. In addition, Golden Valley's ordinance makes it
clear that the conditions spelled out in the subdivision ordinance "provide the only basis
for denial" of a minor subdivision, and that "approval will be granted to any application
that meets the established conditions." City Code �12.50, sudb. 3.I. With PUDs, Council
has more discretion, and can deny PUDs if there is any rational basis for the denial under
the applicable PUD standards in City Code. City Code �11.55.

Subject: Discussion of Zoning Code Text Amendments— Recycling Centers
Back�round
At the City Council meeting on July 1, 2014, a moratorium was adopted to prohibit the
establishment of any new recycling centers in the City for six months. Staff has examined various
zoning concerns that were generated by the interest expressed in scrap metal recycling at the
former SIFCO site at 2430 Winnetka Avenue North. The City Council has directed Staff to bring to
the attention of the Planning Commission the possible need to update both the definition of
Recycling Centers in the zoning code and the reconsideration of the appropriateness of Recycling
Centers as permitted uses within the Light Industrial and Industrial zoning districts.
Recommendation
Staff investigated the definitions and requirements of Recycling Centers in several other cities.
From this research and further discussion, staff has generated several recommendations as to how
Golden Valley can rewrite their zoning ordinance to mitigate the negative effects of recycling
centers such as truck traffic, noise, odors, and air pollution, if they so choose.
Summary of Recommendations
• Create two definitions: Major Recycling Facility and Minor Recycling Facility
• Metal shredding and car crushing are removed from definition
• Add Compostable Waste and Yard Waste as definitions in the zoning code
• In the Light Industrial District, allow Minor Recycling Facilities as a conditional use
• In the Industrial District, allow Minor Recycling Facilities as a permitted use and Major
Recycling Facilities as a conditional use
• Prohibit outdoor storage
• Maintain distance requirements currently in place for Recycling Centers
Definitions
Recycling Centers are defined in Section 11.03, Subd. 79, as "Any area or structure, whether
privately or publicly owned and operated, that engages in recycling or reclamation of inetals,
paper, or other materials including crushing, shredding, baling or compacting materials such as
auto bodies, scrap metal, etc." The City Council expressed concern that the crushing of auto bodies
and other similar activities were too intense. Also, "etc." should be removed from the definition.
Many cities separate the definition of Recycling Centers into at least two sub-categories—often
defined as "low" vs. "high" intensity or "minar" vs. "major" facilities. "High" or "major" recycling
facilities are often targeted for materials from commercial or industrial uses. "Low" or "minor"
recycling facilities are often targeted for materials from household or consumer uses. The
distinction between recycling facilities can also be made by distinguishing the capacity of the
operation in terms of average truck loads to and from the site, pounds of material processed, size
of the lot, or size of the facility. Staff suggests separating the definition into two categories based
on the materials to be recycled, which indicates the intensity of the impacts on surrounding
properties. This allows the ability to add more detail to each definition and provide more flexibility
in the Industrial and Light Industrial zoning districts, which is explained in the next section on
permitted and conditional uses.
Proposed Definitions
Minor Recycling Facility Major Recycling Facility
A facility used for the collection, treating, A facility used for the collection, treating,
cleansing, short-term storage, and cleansing, short-term storage, and
reconstituting of recyclable household and/or reconstituting of recyclable commercial and/or
consumer waste including paper, cardboard, industrial waste including paper, cardboard,
glass, plastic, aluminum, batteries, fluorescent glass, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead,
light bulbs, and motor oil. It does not include copper, plastic, batteries, fluorescent light
construction and demolition debris, metals for bulbs, household appliances, and motor oil. It
commercial and industrial uses, yard waste, does not include the processing of yard waste,
household appliances, or compostable waste automobiles, or other compostable waste
except for clean paper products except clean paper products
Materials recycled at a Major Recycling Facility are often larger, denser, and therefore undergo a
more intense recycling process. The loading and unloading of materials require heavier equipment
and trucks for transport. This increased intensity is distinct from that of the Minor Facility.
Metal shredding and car crushing are activities included in the current definition; however, they are
not listed in the proposed definition of a Major Recycling Facility or a Minor Recycling Facility.
Some zoning codes also separately distinguish the recycling of"green" materials such as yard waste
and compostable waste. These materials are not currently defined in the zoning code, but are listed
in the proposed definitions of Major and Minor Recycling Facilities. This could be a good
opportunity to include compostable waste in the list of definitions since many plastics are now
compostable and composting is becoming a more popular activity in both households and
industries. It is not recommended that compostable materials and yard waste be eligible materials
for processing in Minor Recycling Facilities or Major Recycling Facilities at this time.
Proposed Definitions
Compostable Waste A biodegradable waste that is derived from plants and animals including
food waste, kitchen waste, paper waste, compostable plastic, and yard
waste
Yard waste Organic waste including leaves, grass, brush, small logs and branches,
garden waste, straw, dirt, and sod
Permitted and Conditional Uses
Recycling Centers are listed as permitted uses, "including the recycling of inetals and other
materials" without any additional quantitative or qualitative requirements or restrictions. Staff
recommends that Minor Recycling Facilities (with no outdoor storage) be allowed as a conditional
use in the Light Industrial District and a permitted use (with no outdoor storage) in the Industrial
District. It is also recommended that Major Recycling Facilities (with no outdoor storage) be
allowed as a conditional use in the Industrial District only. This allows the staff, Planning
Commission, and City Council a chance to review proposals and create conditions for approval that
mitigate the negative effects that Recycling Facilities can have on the surrounding area.
Staff finds that prohibiting outdoor storage for Minor and Major Recycling Facilities will mitigate
many of the negative effects these facilities can have. In order to include this in the zoning code,
staff finds it consistent with the format of the zoning code to include "no outdoor storage" as a
specific description of the permitted or conditional use. For example:
Proposed Ordinance Language in Light Industrial District Section 11.35
Subdivision 4. Conditional Uses
The following conditional uses may be allowed after review by the Planning Commission and
approval by the Council following the standards and procedures set forth in this Chapter:
G. Minor Recycling Facilities with no outdoor storage
Proposed Ordinance Language in Industrial District Section 11.36
Subdivision 3. Permitted Uses
The following uses and no others shall be considered permitted uses within the Industrial
Zoning District:
G. Minor Recycling Facilities with no outdoor storage
Proposed Ordinance Language in Industrial District Section 11.36
Subdivision 4. Conditional Uses
The following conditional uses may be allowed after review by the Planning Commission and
approval by the Council following the standards and procedures set forth in this Chapter:
G. Major Recycling Facilities with no outdoor storage
Therefore, Conditional Use Permits would be required for:
• Minor Recycling Facilities with no outdoor storage in Light Industrial Districts
• Major Recycling Facilities with no outdoor storage in Industrial Districts
Distance Requirements
The Council expressed concern that some types of high intensity recycling facilities may be allowed
to locate in areas of close proximity to residential uses. Occasionally, there are limits placed in
other zoning codes on the location of recycling facilities in relation to residential properties.
The current regulations in the Light Industrial and Industrial districts apply to all permitted and
conditional uses in those districts, not Recycling Centers specifically. The current distance
requirements include:
Current Re�ulations in Li�ht Industrial (11.35) and Industrial (11.36) Zoning Districts:
In the case of premises facing a Residential Zoning District or an R-2 Zoning District across a public
street, the yard abutting that street shall not be less than 75 feet from the right-of-way line of the
street to the structure.
In the case of premises adjoining a Residential Zoning District or an R-2 Zoning District required side
and rear yard setbacks shall be not less than 100 feet in depth.
In the case of premises adjoining a Multiple Dwelling, Business and Professional Office, or
Institutional Zoning District, required side and rear yard setbacks shall be not less than 50 feet in
depth.
Staff investigated the potential to use the current language in the code as state above, but increase
the distances as follows:
Current Distance Regulation Potential Distance Regulation
75 feet facing R-1, R-2 150 feet facing R-1, R-2
100 feet adjoining R-1, R-2 200 feet adjoining R-1, R-2
50 feet adjoining R-3, R-4, BPO, Institutional 100 feet adjoining R-3, R-4, BPO, Institutional
With a brief mapping analysis, staff found that these increased distances would not be too limiting.
However, prohibiting outdoor storage may eliminate the need to increase distance requirements.
