2. Right-of-Way Management Qrdinance
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Summary
Staff recently received an inquiry from CenturyLink regarding permitting requirements for the
installation of approximately three to four miles of fiber-optics within the City. This proposed
installation is in the beginning of its implementation and detailed design is not yet available.
However, staff from CenturyLink indicated that the project would consist of installing the new
fiber optic lines on overhead poles, with the eventual removal of the existing overhead copper
lines.
The City adopted its original Right-of-Way Management Ordinance (Chapter 7, Golden Valley City
Code) in 2001. This ordinance was based upon a model ordinance developed by the League of
Minnesota Cities in response to the deregulation of the telecommunications industry, and the
resulting number of companies wishing to install facilities within publicly-owned right-of-ways,
which often resulted in significant damage to streets and highways, sidewalks, lawns and
landscaping, and City-owned utility systems. The 2001 ordinance adopted by Golden Valley
included provisions that all new, replacement, relocated or reconstructed facilities must be
placed underground if the installation exceeded 300 feet in length (Golden Valley City Code,
Section 7.28: Undergrounding). These requirements are still within the current code, a copy of
which is attached for reference.
Based upon the requirements of the Right-of-Way Management Ordinance, staff notified
CenturyLink that the replacement facilities proposed to be installed must be placed underground.
CenturyLink has requested consideration of a variance of the Right-of-Way Management
Ordinance to allow them to place the fiber optic cables overhead on the existing Xcel Energy
power poles. The primary reason cited by Centurylink for this request is that requiring
underground installation would place their company at a competitive disadvantage to other
telecommunication companies.
In the past three years, there have been 12 different telecommunication companies that have
installed underground facilities within the City as outlined in City Code. These installations totaled
16.7 miles in length. In addition, City records indicate the CenturyLink obtained 29 permits for
underground installation of facilities. This information indicates that the undergrounding
requirement in City Code has been fairly and uniformly enforced.
Staff referred this issue to its legal counsel for right-of-way management and private utility
issues, James Strommen of Kennedy and Graven. Mr. Strommen's attorney-client privileged
communication dated November 5, 2014 outlining his findings will be distributed at the meeting.
In summary, based upon the Centurylink plans as they are known, and the content of the City
Cade, there is no latitude provided to City staff, or the City Council, to vary from the ordinance
and allow overhead installation of the proposed fiber optic facilities. Furthermore, Mr. Strommen
recommends that the City may wish to consider revising its code to allow for exceptions to the
undergrounding requirements,
Staff wishes to discuss this right-of-way management issue with the City Council to determine if
revisions to the City Code should be pursued.

§ 7.28
Section �.28: Undergrounding
Subdivision 1. Generally
Facilities placed in the right-of-way must be located, relocated and maintained
underground pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Code and in accordance
with applicable construction standards. This Section is intended to be enforced
consistently with state and federal law regulating right-of-way user, specifically
including but not limited to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 161.45, 237.162,

B. new subdivision of land; or
C. a new development or industrial park containing new commercial or
industrial buildings.
Subdivision 3. Undergrounding of Permanent Replacement,
Relocated or Reconstructed Facilities
A permanent replacement, relocation or reconstruction of a facility of more than
three hundred (300) feet must be located, and maintained underground, with due
regard for seasonal working conditions. For purposes of this Section, reconstruction
means any substantial repair of or any improvement to existing Facilities.
Undergrounding is required whether a replacement, relocation or reconstruction is
initiated by the right-of-way user owning or operating the Facilities, or by the City
in connection with A) the present or future use by the City or other local
government unit of the right-of-way for a public project, B) the public health or
safety, or C) the safety and convenience of travel over the right-of-way.
Subdivision 4. Retirement of Overhead Facilities
The City may determine whether it is in the public interest that all Facilities within
the City, or within certain districts designated by the City, be permanently placed
and maintained underground by a certain or target date, independently of
undergrounding required pursuant to this Chapter. The decision to underground
must be preceded by a public hearing, after published notice and written notice to
the utilities affected. At the hearing the City Council must consider items (A)-(D) in
Section 7.28, Subdivision 6 and make findings. Undergrounding may not take place
until City Council has, after hearing and notice, adopted a plan containing items
(A)-(F) of Section 7.28, Subdivision 7.

§ 7.28
Subdivision 5. Public Hearings
A hearing must be open to the public and may be continued from time to time. At

determined by the Gity and the affected utilities.
C. The tariff requirements, procedures and rate design for recovery or intended
recovery of incremental costs for the undergrounding by the utilities from
ratepayers within the City.
D. Alternative financing options available if the City deems it in the public
interest to require undergrounding by a date certain and deems it
appropriate to participate in the cost otherwise borne by the taxpayers.
Upon completion of the hearing or hearings, the City Council must make written
findings on whether it is in the public interest to establish a plan under which all
Facilities will be underground, either citywide or within districts designated by the
City.
Subdivision 7. Undergrounding Plan

Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
November 12, 2014
Agenda Item
3. Sign Code Text Amendment Request
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner
Summary
The leasing manager for the Colonnade building at 5500 Wayzata Boulevard, Anne Donahue, is
requesting that the City Council consider an amendment to Chapter 4 of the City Code. Chapter 4
regulates the maximum amount of signage allowed for each property based on the zoning and
the size of the building or parcel. The Colonnade building is located within Subdistrict C of the
I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District and the gross floor area of the building is 355,797 square feet.
This allows the property up to 500 square feet of total sign area, which is being fully utilized at
this time.
One of the largest tenants in the building, Bell State Bank &Trust, would like more exterior
signage to increase visibility from I-394 for their full-service bank. Anne Donahue, on behalf of
Bell State Bank &Trust, has proposed that a special provision be added to the sign code to allow
additional total sign area for large multi-tenant buildings when a tenant occupies a significant
amount of space within the building. It is proposed that in such cases where a tenant occupies at
least 40,000 square feet of a multi-tenant building, the maximum total sign area for the property
increase by 100 square feet per eligible tenant. Bell State Bank & Trust currently occupies 61,000
square feet of the Colonnade.
Staff is seeking direction from Council on whether to proceed in studying this text amendment

RE: Golden Valley City Code-Change Request
Councilmen/Councilwomen;
The purpose of the letter is farmally request a change to the Golden Valley City Code, Section 4.20: Sign
Permit and Regulations.
Over the past two years The Colonnade tenant mix has changed significantly. With expansion, three of
our largest tenants now lease and occupy 65% of the building. The former owner of The Colonnade,
TIAA- CREF, would not allow exterior tenant signage except for the pylon located on the southwest
corner of the property. The current owner, DRA Advisors LLC, supports our tenants' desire for exterior
signage rights, understanding this amenity is important for marketing, and with respect to retail
businesses, essential for visibility.
With Galden Valley approval, Pentair recently instalied two backlit signs at the top of the building. As
written in the lease, Pentair has exclusive rights to signage at the top portion of the building.
Beli State Bank & Trust is one of our largest tenants and is advocating fdr signage rights. They have
recently expanded their lease at The Colonnade to over 61,000 square feet and employ nearly 200
people at this location. As a fast-growing, full-service retail bank, they have indicated that exterior
signage that is visible from 394 is a critical factor in their decision of whether to remain at The Colonnade
in the future.
To address our tenants' concerns, on behalf of current owner of The Colonnade, we are requesting the
following changes to Section 4.20 of the Code;
Add the following as a new subsection to Section 4.20, Subdivision 9.J.3.b:
9)Additional Total Sign Area For Larqe Multi-Tenant Buildings. Maximum Total Sign Area for the
property may increase by 100 square feet per tenant that occupies more than 40,000 square feet
of the property but no more than an additional 500 square feet.
The Colonnade continues to be a staple of the Golden Valley community. Additional exterior signage and
sign height would increase visibility of our key tenants which would increase profitability and the
probability of long term occupancy. We would like to continue our occupancy success by giving these '
key tenants the option for exterior signage identity.
Thank you for your consideration. Please contact Anne Donahue at 763-591-2211 if you have any
qusstions.
Sincerely,
,�.

Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
November 12, 2014
Agenda Item
5. Review of"State of the City" Process and Product
Prepared By
Cheryl Weiler, Communications Manager
Summary
Golden Valley's "State of the City" presentation as you now know it has its roots in the TwinWest
Chamber of Commerce's update meeting held at the beginning of each year in the City Council
Chambers. The meeting is a forum for Golden Valley businesses and local government to come
together to review accomplishments of the past year and preview goals for the coming year. The
Chamber also presents awards to members at this meeting.
In the past, the State of the City presentation on local government accomplishments and goals
was delivered by the city manager in an informal presentation. In the early 2000s, the City tried a
format in which department heads did a PowerPoint presentation. Since 2004, State of the City
has been presented in a video format. The City's management team compiles a list of
accomplishments and goals (based on City Council goal-setting exercises), develops a script, and
works with Northwest Community TV to produce the video, which is narrated by the mayor. The
final video presentation usually runs between 15 and 20 minutes and costs around $2,500.
Because of changes in technolagy and viewer expectations, it's time to consider new ideas before
current methods get stale. Staff will outline options for presenting the State of the City message,
including participation of City Council and process for developing and approving the message.

6. 2015, 2016 and 2017 Pavement Management Program: Project Updates
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Summary
At its July 16, 2013 meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a feasibility report for the
2015 Pavement Management Program (PMP). The proposed project included rehabilitation of 2.3
miles of local streets, The proposed project area is located north of Plymouth Avenue, east of
Highway 169, south of Naper Avenue and west of the General Mills James Ford Bell Research
Center. As the preparation of the feasibility report proceeded, it was determined that the utility
repairs required as part of the project significantly exceeded the planning level cost estimate
contained in the Capital Improvement Program. As a result, the original project has been split
into three smaller projects that will fit within the budgets for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 PMP
projects in the CIP. The project location and the proposed years of construction are outlined on
the attached map.

Policy 1. Liquor License At Brookview �olf
Course
Issue
The City of Golden Valley purchased Brookview Golf Course on November 1, 1968 and began
its first year of operation in 1969.Since that time the food and beverage operations have been
an important aspect of the business.Current state law mandates that the City of Golden Valley
is only allowed to sell Brookview Golf Course a 3.2 beer license and nothing stronger.Therefore,
Brookview Golf Course has only carried and sold 3.2 beer.
It has become increasingly difficult to purchase and offer multiple varieties of beer in a 3.2 option.
Further,there are many options for the public to choose from with the large number of golf cours-
es and event centers in the Twin Cities metro area.Staff feels strongly that a liquor license will help
Brookview distinguish itself amongst competitors,remain viable in the market,offer products and
services that Brookview's customer and patron base have requested and come to expect,and to
increase the profitability of Brookview's operations.
Under Minnesota Statute 340A.601 —Establishment of Municipal Liquor Stores,Brookview Golf
Course in unable to purchase a liquor license;however,special provisions have been made for
other businesses under Minnesota Statute 340A.404.
Response
Brookview Golf Course recommends legislation for a special provision under Minnesota Statute
340A.404— Intoxicating Liquor;On-Sale Licenses.This would enable Brookview Golf Course to pur-
chase an intoxicating liquor license from the City of Golden Valley.Special provisions have been
made for other Minnesota businesses,including:
• City of Minneapolis(GuthrieTheater,CricketTheater,Orpheum Theater,StateTheater,Historic
PantagesTheater,Walker Arts Center's concessionaire,Target Center)
• City of St Paul(Fitzgerald Theater,Brave New Workshop)
• various publicly owned recreation (Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center,Board of
Regents of the University of Minnesota for events at Northrup Auditorium,TCF Bank stadium,
state agency responsible for Giants Ridge Golf&Ski Resort in Biwabik, MN)

Policy 2. Bonding Bill - Douglas Drive/Hwy 55
- Intersection
Issue
In July 2008,the City of Golden Valley officially began a study of its Douglas Drive corridor,which
runs from Olson Memorial Highway(Highway 55)to Medicine Lake Road (County Road 70).To
continue addressing suggestions identified in the Douglas Drive Corridor Study to improve driver
and pedestrian safety as well as traffic efficiency,the City is partnering with Hennepin County
to implement a 2016 reconstruction project that would add turn lanes,allow for shoulders and
bike lanes,improve sidewalks,install streetlights,and place existing above-ground utilities
underground.The project has an estimated cost of about$23 million.The City's portion ofthe
project will be approximately$13 million,and Hennepin County will pay approximately$10
million.
In addition,as part of the preliminary design process,concepts have been developed to improve
the intersection of Highway 55 and Douglas Drive.To the south of this intersection is the Per-
pich Center for Arts Education and the Arts High School.The existing intersection has significant
congestion and confusing turning movements,bus stops,and a high level of pedestrian usage
that have resulted in an unsafe intersection with a high number of vehicle crashes.Funding for the
work at the intersection of Highway 55 and Douglas Drive has not been secured.
Response
The City of Golden Valley seeks funding to improve operations,safety,and mobility at the inter-
section of Highway 55 and Douglas Drive.Future improvements would better accommodate
vehicles,pedestrians,transit,etc.

Policy 3. Levy Limits
Issue
Levy limits undermine local budgeting processes,planned growth,and the relationship between
locally elected officials and their residents by allowing the state to detide the appropriate level of
local taxation and services,despite varying local conditions and circumstances.
For example,while working on its Capital Improvement Program (CIP),the City of Golden Valley
reviews many revenue sources for financing future needs of the City.Levy limits make it impos-
sible for the City to plan accurately for renewal of its infrastructure without compromising its bond
rating.
Response
The City of Golden Valley and Metro Cities strongly oppose levy limits.
Page 4 City of Golden Valley�`�2014 Legislative Policies
Policy 4. Bonding Bill - Bottineau LRT
Issue
In December 2012,the City of Golden Valley officially endorsed the Light Rail Transit(LRT) 6-C-D1
alignment as the Locally Preferred Alternative for the Bottineau Transitway.The Metropolitan
Council later adopted the Bottineau Transitway Locally Preferred Alternative into the Metropolitan
Transportation Policy PIan.The Bottineau LRT is planned to enter Golden Valley along the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNSF) Railroad Corridor in the south and travel adjacent to
parkland,residential,and institutional areas on the east side of Golden Valley.
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority is currently beginning the Station Area
Planning process for two potential station locations in Golden Valley.Issues surrounding potential
stations,located at the proposed LRT's intersection with Golden Valley Road and Plymouth Road,
must be identified and studied.The designation of the LRT B-C-D1 alignment also enables future
environmental study and engineering work to occur.
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority,in collaboration with the Metropolitan Council
and the cities of Golden Valley,Minneapolis,Robbinsdale,Crystal,and Brooklyn Park,continue
to work toward identifying and mitigating issues surrounding the eventual construction and
implementation of the Bottineau LRT.Additional funding for#uture study and community
outreach efforts is necessary to ensure that the project moves forward.
The Bottineau LRT is part of a broader plan to expand mass transit options in the Minneapolis/
St Paul metropolitan area.As the region continues to grow,investment in an enhanced
transportation network is essential.There are currently six additional regional transitways currently
under study or development in the region.Increased funding for the development of light rail
transit and bus rapid transit is essential for the growth and well-being of the Minneapolis/St Paul
metropolitan area.
Response
The City of Golden Valley urges support of light rail transit and bus rapid transit options,and
seeks funding to enhance study and community outreach efforts for issues surrounding the
development of the Bottineau LRT.
7800 Golden Valley Road,Golden Valley,MN 55427 763-593-8006 Page 5
Policy 5. Providing Information To Citizens
Issue
To keep the public updated and informed,state law requires local units of government to publish
various official notifications and documents in newspapers and often dictates which newspapers
receive cities'publication business.The number and variety of documents cities are required to
publish,as well as the costs of publication,are burdensome.
The media and newspaper industry continues to experience significant changes and declining
subscriptions.At the same time technological advancements have expanded options cities can
use to provide information to citizens,and citizens are demanding and expecting it.These new
technologies are often more efficient,widely and easily accessible,and cost effective.Current
state law regarding public access to city codes of ordinances should also address these changes
for how citizens,the private sector,and other entities will have access to alternatives to existing
news publications to obtain official government notices,documents,and information.
Response
The City of Golden Valley believes the Legislature should eliminate outdated or unnecessary publi-
cation requirements and that cities should be authorized to:
• take advantage of new technologies to increase the dissemination of information to citizens
and potentially lower the associated costs
• designate an appropriate daily/weekly publication
� use alternative means of communication,such as city newsletters,cable television,video
streaming,e-mail, blogs,and city web sites
• expand the use of summaries where information is technical or lengthy
• publish and provide public access to local codes of ordinances on a website and to post revi-
sions and changes to city codes,resolutions,and rules on the city website,when feasible
Page 6 City of Golden Valley�2074 Legislative Policies
Policy 6. Bonding Bill - Emerald Ash Borer
Issue
The Emerald Ash Borer(EAB)is a destructive beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees
throughout the Midwest.The beetle was first discovered in the Minneapolis area in 2009 and has
currently been identified within two miles of the Golden Valley border.
The City of Golden Valley proactively developed an EAB Management Plan in 2010 and updated
it in 2012 to include a complete public tree inventory.The inventory identified that more than 24
percent of Golden Valley's public property trees are ash.There are a total of more than 2,000 pub-
lic ash trees and countless private ash trees throughout the community.
The City of Golden Valley is very concerned about the total number and concentration of public
and private shade trees that are in jeopardy from this destructive beetle.Currently,there is mini-
mal funding and resources available to mitigate for the inevitable tree impacts on public and
private property.
Response
The City of Golden Valley supports procuring funding through state sources to help the City and
private property owners with removal of infested trees and reforestation activities.

Policy 7. Bonding Bill - Highway 169 (I-394 To
I-94)
Issue
The 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan indicates that no capacity improvements
are planned for the US Highway 169 corridor between I-394 and I-94.Travelers experience from
under one hour to up to four hours of congestion daily.Furthermore,since 2002 there have been
more than 1,100 vehicle crashes along the corridor,in which 25 percent resulted in injury and
one crash resulted in a death.The corridor provides access to many businesses,including General
Mills,theTarget Corporation,CS McCrossan,St lude Medical,Select Comfort,Caterpillar,and US
Foods,to name a few.In addition,institutions such as the Hennepin Technical College,the Rob-
binsdale School District,and others use the corridor as a primary access.
Improvements to US Highway 169 have occurred north of I-94.Additional improvements have
been completed at the I-494 interchange to the south.Since early 2013,City officials have been
meeting with MnDOT staffto define needed transportation improvements along the US Highway
169 corridor and to identify potential funding sources.
Response
City of Golden Valley seeks funding for a US Highway 169 study from I-394 to I-94 to identify
needed improvements intended to reduce congestion and improve safety.

Page 8 City of Golden Valley��2014 Legislative Policies
Policy 8. Fiscal Disparities
Issue
Since enacted in 1971 and implemented in 1975,Fiscal Disparities has required cities to share a
portion of their commercial and industrial tax base growth with otherjurisdictions.The contribu-
tion amount is based on the relative fiscal capacity of each community,which is measured by the
market value per capita.Because Golden Valley has a high fiscal capacity,it contributes more to
the pool than it receives.In 2013,Golden Valley will contribute$5,460,857 in net tax capacity.
In recent years,more commercial and industrial parcels have petitioned for market value changes.
It may take a number of years to settle a petition,and the ruling can allow valuations to be revised
for the contested year as well as up to two years prior.
For example,for taxes payable 2014,the 2012 taxable market values for commercial and industrial
properties were used to establish Golden Valley's contribution to the fiscal disparities formula.In
2013,Golden Valley had many parcels petition to lower their valuations and the adjustments are
lagging.
Response
The City of Golden Valley supports a revision to fiscal disparities that accounts for adjustments due
to correction of market values.

Policy 9. Metropolitan Council Inflow/Infiltration
Grants
Issue
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Service's(MCES)Water Resources Management Plan
established an inflow and infiltration (I/I) surcharge in 2007 on cities determined by MCES to be
contributing unacceptable amounts of clear water to the MCES wastewater treatment system.
Since the inception of the surcharge program,50 cities_have been identified as excessive I/I con-
_ _ __
tributors.This number is subject to change,depending on rain events,and any city in the metro-
politan area could be affected.
The City of Golden Valley is a leader in the metropolitan area in addressing inflow and infiltration
from public and private sources.The City has made significant investment to address I/1 issues in
the municipal system.In addition,through the City's Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance,significant
investment has been made by property owners to reduce I/I from private sewer services.
Response
Because I/I reduction efforts benefit the entire metropolitan area,the City of Golden Valley sup-
ports the state providing continued capital assistance for grants to cities as well as financial assis-
tance through future Clean Water Legacy Act appropriations.

• experiences poor driver behavior due to inadequate queue capacity / geometry
• is not capable of handling traffic forecasts per anticipated land uses changes
• experiences unsafe pedestrian movements due to lack of pedestrian infrastructure
• is not programmed by MnDOT for reconstruction
Cost
• Preliminary cost estimates range from 1 M to 20M
Funding
• This project needs to be included in the 2014 Bonding Bill now, as Douglas Drive
is scheduled for reconstruction in 2016.
= Legislative Assistance Needed
� Please assure placement of this project on the Governor's ���� � `
Bonding Bill for Transportation and Transit for the 2014 session.

Bonding Bill for Transportation and Transit for the 2014 session.
Sales Tax Exemption
The City of Golden Valley is exempt for most purchases except for Brookview Golf Course. The City is
not exempt for motor vehicle purchases because the sales tax exemption did not include the motor
vehicle tax of 6.5%. Although Police (marked) and Fire vehicles are tax exempt, it does not fall true to
dump trucks that are used for snowplowing and road repair. We feel the need for use of City vehicles
is the same purpose to respond to the needs to the City.
Early Voting
In past elections Golden Valley has had a high percentage of voters show up to the polls every year.
This year, with no excuse voting, many people have come in to vote early or gone online for an
absentee ballot to be sent. Although the City is happy it is more convenient for the voter,the costs
are more expensive due to postage, supplies for the absentees, and additional staff hours for both
regular employees and election judges for the absentee board. By allowing true early voting, the
voter would be able to actually cast their vote and would not involve additional supplies and postage.
Also, due to less numbers on Election day, fewer polling places may be needed.
