replaces two existing single family homes with five new single family homes on narrower
lots.

characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep slopes,
trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands and open waters.
3. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of the
land.

with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
5. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety and
general welfare of the people of the City.

setbacks for principal buildings. Also, the proposed easement on the east side of the

Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday,
November 10, 2014. Chair Kluchka called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Thase present were Planning Commissioners Baker, Blum, Cera, Johnson, Kluchka,
Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present was Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman,
Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa
Wittman.
1. Approval of Minutes
October 13, 2014, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Blum referred to the ninth paragraph on page four and said the word "duplicitous" should
be replaced with the word "duplicative."
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to
approve the October 13, 2014, minutes with the above noted correction.
2. Informal Public Hearing — Preliminary PUD Plan — Sweeney Lake Woods —
1801 Noble Drive — PU-120
Applicant: The Lecy Group
Address: 1801 Noble Drive
Purpose: To allow for the reconfiguration of the one existing single family
property into a new three-lot single family development
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to reconfigure
the existing vacant parcel at 1801 Noble Drive and the existing driveway parcel into three
single family lots with access via a shared driveway. He stated that Lot 1 will be 37,494
square feet, Lot 2 will be 26,632 square feet, and Lot 3 will be 24,834 square feet, all of
which are greater than the minimum required lot size of 10,000 square feet. He added
that if not for the lack of adequate frontage on a public street, this proposal could be
reviewed as a minor subdivision rather than a PUD.
Zimmerman discussed several of the staff's concerns including: the installation of utilities
in a narrow right-of-way, fire and emergency access, the insufficient lot width at the front
setback line, and the challenges with shared driveways. He stated that the proposed 16
foot wide driveway is not acceptable and that 18 feet of width is the absolute minimum
width allowed. He referred ta the PUD language in the City Code and explained that
public streets are required unless waived by the City. He added that staff is
recommending denial of the Preliminary PUD Plan as it does not meet all six of the
necessary PUD findings.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
Page 2
Kluchka asked about the vacant tracts H & B shown on the plans. He also asked how
many lots would be appropriate for a shared driveway. Zimmerman stated that tract B is
the Wessin property that was recently approved for subdivision. He noted that the
driveways for that subdivision will have access on Noble, not on the proposed driveway
for this current proposal. He added that tract H is a vacant landlocked parcel. Kluchka
asked if the owners of these proposed new lots would have to agree to future access.
Zimmerman said yes.
Segelbaum asked about the distinctions regarding public versus private streets.
Zimmerman stated that streets, whether public or private have to be constructed
sufficiently to get fire vehicles in and out. He added that another issue is city versus
private maintenance of the street. Segelbaum noted that a homeowner may prefer
private streets so they can control access and don't have to give up ownership.
Zimmerman agreed and added that public streets require more land for utilities and
emergency access.
Cera asked if the applicant has agreed to the 18 foot wide driveway requirement.
Zimmerman said yes. Cera asked if the owners of the property to the west have been
approached. Zimmerman stated that Mr. Wessin owns the property to the east and west
of the driveway parcel and that he is not interested in selling it. Cera asked if a private
street would be a unique situation. Zimmerman said there are few developments in the
City with private streets. Baker asked if a 20 foot wide driveway would be allowed if this
were a subdivision proposal rather than a PUD proposal. Zimmerman said no, a 20 foot
wide street would nat be allowed in a subdivision propasal. Baker said there is a risk of
encroaching on the neighboring properties if they pave 18 feet in 20 feet of right-of-way.
Waldhauser noted that if the area is considered a driveway the setback requirement is 3
feet, but if it is considered a street the setback requirement is 2 feet.
Baker asked about the nature of the proposed conservation easement. Zimmerman
referred to the City Engineer's staff report and explained that the applicant will be
required to dedicate conservation easements over a portion of the shoreline adjacent to
Sweeney Lake which is consistent with recent subdivisions on Sweeney Lake. Baker
asked if the easements could be removed in the future. Zimmerman said no, they are
permanent easements to create a buffer for the lake, preserve trees, and protect water
quality.
Blum referred to the comments about the proposed driveway being 18 feet in width and
said he did not notice that written in the Fire Chief's staff report. Zimmerman stated that
in conversations, the Fire Chief has said that 16 feet in width is too narrow, but that 18
feet, although not ideal, would be acceptable.
Waldhauser stated that if this property were developed differently, or if just one new
house was built, the applicant would not need any approvals and all of the safety issues
would remain, so she thinks the City loses a lot of things without a PUD.
Kluchka asked if the applicant held a neighborhood meeting. Zimmerman said yes.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
Page 3
Segelbaum asked if the applicant has seen the staff reports and if there have been any
objections to any of the conditions in the staff reports. Zimmerman said the applicant has
received the staff reports and that he has not heard any objections.
Johnson noted that the state fire code requires a minimum of 20 feet in width for a
private driveway and questioned why the City would entertain anything narrower. He
referred to the size of the proposed cul-de-sac and asked if the diameter of that cul-de-
sac will be wider as discussed in the Fire Chief's staff report. Zimmerman stated that the
Fire Chief has said he is comfortable with an 18 foot wide driveway and that applicant is
willing to widen the diameter of the proposed cul-de-sac.
Patrick Sarver, Civil Site Group, showed a rendering of the site. He stated that Mr. Lecy
purchased the property in June of 2013 and has experience building high quality
developments. He said because of the PUD process they have an opportunity to save a
significant number of trees and improve the water quality. He stated that the only non-
conforming issue is that their property doesn't adjoin a public street. He referred to two
other recent developments in this same area and showed the Commissioners a table
that compared the amount of hard cover, shoreline buffer and water quality of all three
proposals and said theirs is the best of the three.
Waldhauser asked if they would be able to construct an 18 foot wide road on 20 feet of
right-of-way. Sarver said yes, they can build an 18 foot wide road to a safe level and they
wauld like to work with the Fire Chief regarding the issue of turning emergency vehicle
around in the proposed cul-de-sac space.
Baker asked Sarver to point out the filtration basin on the plans. Sarver noted that the
proposed filtration basin is to the west of Lot 1. Baker asked if the filtration basin would
provide for the run-off from lawns and driveways. Sarver said yes. Blum noted that the
snow storage area is also shown in the same area as the filtration basin and asked if that
would impact filtration. Sarver stated that the snow storage area would be adjacent to the
filtration basin area. Waldhauser said that snow storage would affect filtration over time.
Segelbaum asked how the applicant could say which trees will stay and that the lake
buffer won't be removed when these proposed homes will be custom built. Sarver stated
that the lake buffer will be easement that can't be moved, built in, or removed. He stated
that the applicant will go to great extent to keep every tree possible and that
homeowners will be guided through the process.
Ruth Lecy, The Lecy Group, Applicant, said she doesn't want to offend the prior owner of
this property but she feels the City has received grossly inaccurate information regarding
the condition of the house. She explained that the property was bank-owned, neglected,
and was on the market for over 600 days. She discussed several of the needed repairs
including: a leaky roof, replacement of 1927 single pane windows, new appliances,
replacement of light fixtures, replacement of original bathrooms, replacement of
carpeting, replacement of front steps, and repair of a leaking well in the basement. She
added that many of the materials from the home have been salvaged and have not been
sold, as they will be used in the construction of the proposed new homes. She discussed
Minutes af the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
Page 4
the history of Lecy Bros. Construction and several of the awards they have received. She
showed the Commissioners similar projects they've done in other cities. She reiterated
that they will not be selling the lots to another builder. They will be custom building,
upper-bracket homes and protecting as many trees as possible.
Cera said he appreciates the re-use of the salvaged materials.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Gearge Wessin, 1152 Hamel Road, Hamel, stated the Planning Commission brought up
the feasibility of building a public street and said the answer is yes. He added that the
property he owns adjacent to this proposal is for sale and has been for a long time. He
confirmed that parcel H shown on the plans is a landlocked piece of property.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser said it would be good to see some development that can be done without
damage to Sweeney Lake ar to other properties in the area. She said it seems that there
is a group of property owners in the area who do not want this land developed except as
one single family home, which in this market would not work. She said there isn't going
to be another proposal like this and the alternative is to leave it sit vacant, which is
maybe the goal of the neighborhood. She stated that it was her understanding that the
homeowner to the southwest would also like to develop a portion of their property which
would also require access. She added that this proposal looks reasonable except for the
18 foot wide driveway, but this is a step in the right direction.
Cera questioned if a PUD is the appropriate mechanism to develop this property. He said
two lots might fit better than three. Kluchka said he thinks this is a creative and
appropriate use of a PUD because it gives the City a way to make improvements.
Segelbaum stated that staff has recommended denial, but he gets the sense there is
some potential for flexibility. He said it is not feasible to extend the public right-of-way so
it seems appropriate to use the PUD process. He said three lots doesn't seem excessive
and suggested adding a condition that there be no additional access off of the driveway
because he would not want the City to lack control over the safety issues. Kluchka
suggested adding a condition regarding additional utilities as well. Segelbaum said he is
more concerned about driveways than utilities because the existing driveway is
undersized and he doesn't want to see it overused by adding more driveways to it.
Blum asked if there is any potential of obtaining more land to the west. Segelbaum
stated that the property owner hasn't been willing to sell that land. Cera said maybe the
property owners could come to some sort of agreements for a public road. Baker said he
doesn't think restricting the number of access drives is a good idea. Kluchka noted that
the applicant would have to come back to the City for a PUD amendment, then the City
would have a say in how the property is further developed. Segelbaum stated that a
future homeowner might work with the property owner to the west to make the private
drive become a public street.
Minutes af the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014

Johnson said that if Staff can work out the issues regarding the width of the driveway
then he would be comfortable recommending approval of this proposal because the
primary goal is the best use of the property.
Kluchka suggested conditions/findings as follows: 1) the proposal as revised meets the
City's requirements for the driveway width, cul-de-sac diameter, and water and sewer
special construction techniques, 2) there would be a conservation easement, 3) there will
be an infiltration basin and snow storage, and 4) there will be no additional driveway or
utility access along the private driveway. Cera stated that the Engineering staff report
covers many of conditions/findings discussed. Kluchka stated number one above could
say as noted in the City Engineer's staff memo.
Waldhauser asked if adding a sprinkler system to the proposed new homes was a
condition listed in any of the staff reports. Kluchka said he thinks the applicant is
planning on installing sprinkler systems. Lecy clarified that is an option they are
considering. Waldhauser said she doesn't see a reason why the Planning Commission
should add that as a condition. Segelbaum said the memo they received from the Fire
Chief said the access was inadequate. He suggested that a condition be included that
requires an updated memo from the Fire Chief stating that the revised access is
adequate.
Blum suggested a condition be added stating that the snow storage area and the
infiltration basin area cannot be overlapping. The Commissioners agreed.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods, PUD #120
subject to the following findings and conditions:
Findinqs:
1. 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. 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. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of
the land.
4. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is
cansistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
5. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety
and general welfare of the people of the City.
6. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all other PUD
ordinance provisions.
7. There is sufficient information to waive the requirement of a public street in order to
permit a private street to be constructed.

Conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire
Department to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 3, 2014, shall
become a part of this approval. An updated memo from the Fire Chief stating that the
access is adequate is also requested.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 5, 2014, shall
become a part of this approval.
3. There will be no additional driveway or utility access allowed along the private
d riveway.
4. The snow storage area and the infiltration basin area shall not overlap.
Zimmerman questioned if the words "private street" should be used or if the words
"private driveway" should be used. Kluchka said he thinks private driveway is more
flexible. Waldhauser said they've been talking about it as a private street so the words
"private street" should be used. Segelbaum agreed that it has to meet the standards of a
street so the words "private street" should be used.
3. Informal Public Hearing — General Land Use Plan Map Amendment— 7751-7775
Medicine Lake Road, 2430 and 2480 Winnetka Avenue North, and 2485 Rhode
Island Avenue North — CPAM-55
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Addresses: 7751-7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2430 and 2480 Winnetka Avenue
North and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North
Purpose: To change the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Commercial to High Density Residential for the properties at 7751-
7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North and 2485
Rhode Island Avenue North and from Light Industrial to High Density
Residential for the property at 2430 Winnetka Avenue North
Zimmerman stated that staff met with the City Council in June to do long range planning
for different areas within the City. He explained that a developer has come forward with a
potential proposal for an apartment and townhomes on the southeast quadrant of the
Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road intersection. These uses would be
inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan designation and the zoning of the
properties. He stated that the Council's vision for this quadrant is for a mixed use area,
however the current Mixed Use Comprehensive Plan designation and the established
I-394 Mixed Use zoning district do not translate well to this area, so staff is recommending
that the four properties be reguided and rezoned to High Density Residential.
Baker asked how many units have been discussed. Zimmerman said approximately 300.
Cera said he still intrigued by the Mixed Use option and making the whole corner Mixed
Use would be more creative. He suggested modifying the existing Mixed Use definition to
fit this proposal. Zimmerman stated that the developer has not been able to obtain the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 1 Q, 2014
Page 7
corner property. He added that the I-394 Corridor hasn't had any vertically mixed uses
proposed and thinks more horizontally mixed uses next to each other might work.
Johnson asked if this would be the largest high density area in the City. Zimmerman said
he wasn't sure.
Segelbaum asked if the City thinks it is appropriate to include the corner in the proposal
even if they are not interested in this particular development. Zimmerman stated that the
Council wants to get things started with this proposal and they don't want to reguide or
rezone the corner property without their consent. Kluchka suggested that the corner
property could maybe be changed in the future.
Baker questioned accommodating a developer who is applying for something right naw,
as opposed to slowing down and looking at the whole area. He said the City should be
looking at the long view and he doesn't see the benefit of accommodating what may not
be a viable project. Zimmerman stated that creating a new land use category is a very
long process.
Cera questioned why there isn't a rezoning request along with the Comprehensive Plan
amendment request. Zimmerman stated that the rezoning request will happen along with
the development application.
Waldhauser said this is a good location for higher density housing.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Todd Schachtman, Intuitive Investments, 99Q5 St. Johns Road, Minnetonka, said he grew
up in this area and wants it to be vibrant and energetic again, so when the opportunity
came up to look at the VFW parcel it struck him that this could be something much better
for the City. He said there is an opportunity with his proposal to help fix the flooding
issues in the area and he is at a point where this is a formative development and he is
ready to go with this first step in the process. He said his proposal will have an everlasting
impact on the northern gateway to the City and he is planning for apartments and
townhomes to provide choices for a wide variety of demographics. He stated that what
the VFW has meant to the area is very important so he is considering call the project
Liberty Crossing to pay homage. The VFW will also be able to use a community room in
the apartment building and hopefully this will be a project people are proud of. He said
that he ideally wants the corner property as well, but it just didn't happen.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Kluchka asked about underground parking and if it would be compatible with the soils in
this area. Zimmerman said he knows that soil borings have been done and if the soils
work, underground parking could be a possibility.
Baker stated that he noticed nothing has been mentioned about a commercial component
with this project. He said he wants to see more mixed use development and wants to
continue to explore the idea of Mixed Use zoning.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
Page 8
Schachtman stated mixed use projects in general are tough to finance, and to find lasting
tenants. He said he'd love to incorporate a commercial use and he is still considering the
corner property because it would be the best option for retail, but Walgreens is an
obstacle because a new retail use would not be contiguous. He said he will continue to
loak at all the options however, he thinks the definition of mixed use, and the definition of
retail will change in the future.
Kluchka asked if the High Density designation prevents the applicant from doing any
other types of uses. Zimmerman said no, and added that the dominant use would be High
Density residential. Baker asked if re-designating the property would restrict in any way
the future use of the property. Zimmerman said no, the properties can be reguided or
rezoned in the future.
Johnson asked what "dominant use" means. He said that this looks like it would be the
largest high density area in the City and questioned why they wouldn't want to try to
segment it. Zimmerman stated that zoning allows one land use but a PUD would allow
variation from that.
Kluchka questioned if High Density residential is the right thing for this space. Baker said
he thinks this is an excellent place for High Density development.
Johnson said he is concerned about the volume of people in one area and reiterated that
this one area would be two or three times bigger than other High Density areas in the
C ity.
Cera stated that townhomes would be a better fit in the Medium Density category.
Zimmerman stated that the categories are based on the number of units per acre.
Segelbaum asked why traffic isn't being considered at this point. He said this sounds like
a good project, but he thinks it is premature to consider reguiding the Comprehensive
Plan at this paint.
Waldhauser asked why the staff report says the City wants to retain the option to remove
the fourth property from consideration if needed. Zimmerman stated that the car wash site
is being considered, but its purchase has not yet been finalized.
Johnsan asked if the rezoning decision is based on more concrete criteria. Zimmerman
said ultimately the Council could decide not to rezone the properties. Kluchka added that
approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment just allows the developer to keep
moving forward.
MOVED by Cera, seconded by Baker and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of changing the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Commercial to High Density Residential for the properties at 7751-7775 Medicine Lake
Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North and from Light
Industrial to High Density Residential for the property at 2430 Winnetka Avenue North.

4. Discussion Regarding Recycling Centers
Goellner reminded the Commissioners that this is a continuation of their discussion on
recycling centers from their October 13, 2014, meeting. She discussed her previaus
recommendations and summarized the previous Planning Commission discussion:
She stated that in response to the previous discussion, staff has revised the
recommendations as follows: create definitions for Drop-Off Facilities and for Recycling
Facilities, allow Drop-Off Facilities as a permitted use and Recycling Facilities as a
conditional use in the Light Industrial zoning district, allow both Drop-Off facilities and
Recycling Facilities as permitted uses in the Industrial zoning district, remove definitions
for Compostable Waste and Yard Waste because they can be found in Section 10.40 of
the City Code, prohibit outdoor storage, and maintain distance requirement currently in
place for Recycling Centers.
Baker asked about the downside to making all of the uses conditional in both zoning
districts. Goellner said that could prohibit some applicants' proposals.
Cera said he thinks the City should limit crushing and shredding, or make Recycling
Centers obtain a Conditional Use Permit, and ban crushing and shredding.
Waldhauser asked about the trafFic associated with these uses and suggested the City
refer to the State statutes. She said she wants to focus on what these places are doing,
not on what they are recycling.
Baker asked about the future of Recycling Centers. Cera said there won't be any small
recycling centers. Baker asked if Recycling Centers would be more localized or if they
would be centralized. Cera said they would be centralized.
Cera suggested requiring a Conditional Use Permit for Recycling Genters, but not for
Drop-Off Centers.
Johnson questioned why they are being so abstract about this, rather than saying what
the City wants to see or doesn't want to see. Cera agreed that the City doesn't have to
permit or define things, they just have to know what they want or don't want.
Waldhauser said she is concerned about allowing Drop-Off Centers in the Light Industrial
zoning district. Cera stated that there are Drop-Off locations everywhere. Segelbaum
suggested the language apply only if a Drop-Off center is the primary use.
Baker said he wants to support composting and asked where that is expected to occur.
Goellner said that is an outdoor use.
Gaellner asked the Commissioners if they want to require a Conditional Use Permit for
Recycling Centers in the Light Industrial zoning district. The Commissioners agreed.

5. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City
Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings
Kluchka gave an update on the last Community Center Task Force meeting he
attended. He said the Council has asked the Task Force to give them a community
center proposal that is between the proposed $9,000,000 and $38,000,000, but the
Task Force is going to say no because they envisioned the $38,000,000 option. He said
he thinks it is unfortunate that the focus has been on money and not on the vision and
he thinks it is premature to talk about price.

New Proposals for Greener Practices
The Mayor and City Council charged the Commission to consider suggestions for greener
practices. Commission members also came up with a list of suggestions. In an attempt to
organize the three lists, Stremel asked staff to create a matrix that would also include
overlapping items from each list, how to implement, incentives/disincentives for change,
etc. The Commission agreed to remove the following suggestians because af redundancy
or are beyond the expected scope:
• Educate residents through the CityNews and website, on b�tter practices (e.g. water
conservation).
NOTE: This item will be reworded to read: Water Conservation (such as home water
audits).
• CSA and fresher vegetables delivered via less over the road trucking.
• "Safe Streets" and more walking to school.
• MnASAP support
There was discussion to remove the suggestion regarding bat houses vs. spraying
mosquitos; however, Chair Stremel asked that it remain on the list.
Members of City Council added two additional suggestions for the Commission to consider:
1. Greenstep Cities Program. The Commission heard a presentation from the program
administrator and considered participating in this program in 2011/2012, but decided
to continue participating in the US Mayors Climate Protection Program the State of
Minnesota's B3 Benchmark System instead.
Action: Support the 2011/2012 decision to not participate in the Green Step Cities
as it seems redundant to what the City and Commission are doing through the B3
Benchmarking system.
Action: Include update of the B3 Benchmark System in the Commission's annual
report to the City Council.
2. Bee keeping and making the community bee-friendly. Consider Shorewood's policy
encouraging the planting of bee-friendly flowers and restricting certain pesticides.
Action: Keep this item on the list of new proposals for greener practices for possible
inclusion in 2015 EC work plan.

The Commission will review the matrix again at the next meeting.
Natural Resource Manaqement Plan (NRMP)
The survey is now on the website and will be ready for residents to access after the
September/October issue of the CityNews is released. The survey will be on the website for
one month.
Eric Eckman did a Channel 12 interview about the NRMP at the Bassett Creek Nature Area
and noticed there was no signage identifying the nature area. He believes it would be
beneficial to have name signs posted in the nature areas. Eckman also suggested that
naming some of the open space areas in the City would give those areas an identity within
the City. The Open Space and Recreation Commission and Rick Birno will need to be
consulted regarding creating identities for some of the open spaces throughout the City.
A difficult tapic that will need to be addressed is encroachments into nature areas by
private property owners. Many of these encroached areas by property owners happen over
time and the property owner may not be aware they are encroaching onto public property.
Education will be important in getting voluntary compliance as a starting point of
enforcement. Currently, these are complaint-driven to be resolved by the City.
Deric Deuschle distributed the first site (Adeline Nature Area) in Chapter 5 of the site
specific management strategies for the commissioners to review and comment (on file).
Each nature area site will be addressed individually by description, forest and woodlands,
lake, wetlands, threatened and endangered species, vegetation goals and action plans.
Eckman said the Sweeney Lake access should be emphasized in the site information for
Adeline Nature Area. He suggested SEH also add creative ideas to the plan in how some
of the land use areas can be enhanced or improved for the Commission and staff to react
to.
The draft of each site will be ready for the Commission to review at its next meeting.
Proqram/Project Updates
Bottineau Transitway Update: Commissioner Galonska attended the recent meeting. Rich
Baker is requesting all Golden Valley representatives meet on October 22 to discuss the
progress.
Community Center Update: The site selection process is narrowed down to two locations,
bath of which are located on current Brookview property. Proposals will be finalized at the
next meeting to present to the City Council in October.
The complete program/project summary is on file.

Subject: Your 5/20/14 letter to Mr. McLaughlin
Council, I have respectfully attended LRT meetings as a concerned Golden Valley
resident over the past 3 yrs. I attended last years Park Board meeting where so many
residents put up so many post its on maps to show: our properties/concerns near G V
Rd/Theo Wirth and the solitude and safety, peace of mind that is here and the
endangered species,ect, which you have all heard before many times. It is mind
blowing that your actions speak louder than your words and your actions say you are
not concerned for us. Many stated, why are you even thinking of putting more rail in
where there will be little use and it is a flourishing area where it is highly questionable
who benefits in Golden Valley. It allows LRT to go faster and cheaper to MPLS is what
we heard. Its not "PC" to put LRT where the tornado made its path.
We came to realize Dee Dee and Paula were friends of Golden Valley residence and
heard us and fought for us and now they are not on the council any longer. Our groups
have no one to turn to. So many tried to get a clear heartfelt opinion from candidates at
election time but no one would take a stand againest LRT in the Grand Rounds Scenic
area. Joanne we begged you not to be baited by the authorities but you changed your
vote and voted to let all of the spending begin. Skip you said," No worry I will propose
GV's redevelopment area along 55 and run the LRT on 55 rather than in our nature
area and the National Grand Rounds."
Id like to hear you tell me this again from your heart because, as a resident, I am taken
back to read what I call a timid letter of 5/20/14. Your letter states" the Golden Valley
Road station location would serve residence and businesses. — "The City believes
overall transit ridership numbers would be maximized with a Golden Valley Road
Station." You also did not include the letter from Father Moudry stating that St.
Margaret Mary's is not for sale or use. My perception is that you were intentional in not
including the letter to support what you want. I am a member of this wonderful
community of heart and soul. I am on the church council and we see the developers
plan options that by your original words Skip shouldn't have evolved even as
proposals.
Who are you? What are you doing to this God given area? What are you thinking? A
thought to ponder deeply for all of you: "Why do you think and believe what you
believe? I pray you actually do not allow any of this to come to pass. Take it to your
heart and soul: Reflect: Talk with God and decide for the higher greater good of all and
not because of contacts it will give you or the city or because every city in its path
wants LRT thru Golden Valley....
Make your mark because you care about the Parkway, St. Margaret Mary's, the
residence that choose to live in this beautiful area and be passionate about it so you
are ok when you are persecuted for standing in your truth. If this is not your truth than
tell the truth and do not say one thing and have your actions speak so loud I can't hear
what you are saying.
My point is what the Golden Valley Residence in this area have attended meetings, put
on all the post its for you, and sent emails to you saying no rail and no station in the
park and at GV Road. It seems we speak, you listen and then you do what you want not
what you say.
I am writing because today, Veterans day, at our home on 3840 Bassett Creek Drive
we had a BALD Eagle in our tree. (That's why people live here.) A week ago we had 2
piliated woodpeckers in our tree. I write because, as a 29 year GV resident, I feel sold
out, abandoned by you thaf appear to be speaking not of your heart. Today I taught
troubled teens, full of anger, trying to find their heart. I am an example of wholehearted
truth to them and you. Every engineer or person of heart knows everything has
vibration and frequency and you can make history to stand up for the Intelligence of
Nature and the people of Golden Valley to take LRT where redevelopment is needed.
This is not a time ta be ALL about the money. We don't want a high rise. We don't want
the LRT or a station in our nature area. We certainly don't want to have St. Margaret
Mary's suffer from this situation. Didn't you hear??? We want the solitude of Golden
Valley. Save our people, children, nature and the National Grand Rounds. Stand up for
US.... Don't forget abaut the people.

Subject: Bottineau plans
Dear City and County representatives,
I am emailing in response to the meeting that occurred on Wednesday November 13th
an the Bottineau Light Rail line. At the meeting, plans were released that showed the
redevelopment of the area located on Golden Valley Road and Theodore Wirth
Parkway. I would like to know what process the Met Council, City, County, and any
other decision makers are using to gather comments and complaints on the proposed
redevelopment plans? We just finished an election and supported many individuals on
the ballat who are part of this planning process and it has been unclear, not
communicated, and my neighbors and myself are very frustrated and angry.
The proposed redevelopment plan is concerning and angers everyone. The community
was educated on that a station would be located at either Plymouth Ave or/and Golden
Valley Road intersection, but there was no communication, till the meeting on
Wednesday, about the redevelopment options and the potential to demolish
neighborhoods. I did read the disclaimer that was printed on the maps which state they
are proposals. These proposals are printed and distributed, which puts all af our
neighborhoods at a disadvantage. The reason is now that there is a threat of our
neighborhood to be demolished the question arises as to what home improvements do
people do, do they sell their house and they can't as there are proposals on the table to
redevelop the area. These maps have put all of us in a bad position as a home owner.
In addition the communication to the neighborhood did not happen. I am a subscriber
to the City email alerts and there were no announcements on the proposed plans or
meetings. In addition, I have tried many times to access the agendas for the city
council meetings, but the program used to distribute the agendas, format of distribution
electronically, and timeliness of agendas does not allow residents to have a say in their
city process. I see that the city does not want its residents to have a say in how their city
functions as access is limited to what is going on.
Since the meeting on Wednesday did impact Golden Valley residents and specific
neighborhoods it would have been respectful to notify people that their homes may be
demolished. I understand these are proposals and no developers have been
established, but the previous meetings did not propose any neighborhood
redevelopment, only station development with possible parking options. I am very
angry at the Met Council, and the City of Golden Valley's lack of concern and respect
for its residents and the apparent move to slide this project by withaut anyone knowing.
I am an advocate for Light Rail and was in full favor of it, until I learned that light rail
means more than having a station, it means having to move from a neighborhood that
has maintained its houses, has good home values, and an established area. All of us
moved ta this neighborhood to be part of the city, be close to the parks and Grand
Rounds, and enjoy the nature within the city. This environment will be destroyed by
even having these proposals presented.
I please ask those involved in the planning process to be transparent in the process as
media coverage will develop as a result from this situation.

Subject: Light Rail Station Concept Plans (Golden Valley Rd)
My name is Jeremy Roth and I live and own the house at 2309 York Ave. N., Golden
Valley.
Please register my opposition to:
-the light rail station being built at Golden Valley Rd and Thea Wirth Parkway
intersection
Should that station being placed there be a certainty, then please register my
opposition to:
-Concept Plan B which apparently would mean the removal of the houses in my
neighborhood, including my own (Site 4 on the plan)
If you can direct me to any website in which I can be kept abreast of the
discussion/planning as it develops, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Jeremy

Dear City Council Representative Clausen:
I am writing in regard to redevelopment plans for the Golden Valley Road/Theodore
Wirth Parkway intersection to accommodate the new Bottineau Light Rail station. I
recently relocated from the city of St. Paul to an old and vibrant neighborhood near that
Golden Valley Road intersection specifically because of that neighborhood's proximity to
the projected sites for the new Light Rail station. Last week, on November 12th,three
Bottineau Light Rail concept plans were shared with the public at an open house. I was
dismayed to see that one of the plans (Concept B) involves eradicating the neighborhood
to which I just moved for light rail access, and proposes replacing the existing homes
with"high and medium density residential"spaces. Concepts A and B also involved
eliminating at least a portion of the current neighborhood. I am confused about why the
City of Golden Valley and the developers of these plans would choose to alienate current
supporters of the Bottineau Light Rail project and to forcibly relocate some of the city's
current transit-riding constituency,most especially when there seem to be viable
alternatives for space nearby. Valley View Park and the Fire Station, both noted in the
concept plans, would not involve such expense or upheaval to redevelop.
If you have not already done so, I respectfully request that you ask to view these concept
plans and work to revise them to preserve the"medium density residential"spaces that
already exist and thrive at this intersection, and that drew commuters like myself to live
in Golden Valley.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Karin Vdlez

Good afternoon:
We've started receiving information in the last week to 10 days about Golden Valley
possibly using eminent domain to claim our property (and that of our neighbors) for
improvements to Wirth Park- can you direct us to any further information about this?
Thank you.

Subject: LRT Neighborhood Questions for tonight's meeting
To: tcpqvmn.Ca�aol.com
Hi Joanie,
Here's a list of questions from neighbors regarding the redevelopment concept for my
area.
Thanks a million. We appreciate your help and support. See you tonight!
Linda Jeske
1. When did the plans change for the LRT from a station at grade level to a massive
redevelopment project?
2. When did any city official/employee get access or knowledge of these potential
plans? Not these exact plans, but any discussion on redevelopment?
3. Why was there not more direct communication with the residents about this meeting
and electronic signs in Golden Valley advertising this meeting?
4. Was there and I don't think there was an email alert about the LRT meeting on
Wednesday November 12th from the City of Golden Valley, Why?
5. What is the timeline of this process?
6. Are there any developers that have expressed interest in the area and or any
developers at the table?
7. What does the neighborhood do if they want to sell or remodel and these plans are
on the table?
8. Comment: Houses in this area are selling for 200,000-400,000 and the population is
turning over.. there are over 25 kids from the ages of college to unborn yet in the 40
house area.
9. What commuters are you expecting to use the park and ride, from what geographical
area?
10. Where are you considering relocating the fire station as one has to be in the area?
11. Why have so many meeting been cancelled?
Thanks again - we understand you will ask what you have time for and what is pertinent
to the discussion.

Subject: Thank you
To the Mayor, City Council, Jason, and Tom,
I would like to say thank you to Jason for tailoring the presentation on the Bottineau
LRT to the concerns residents brought up between the November 12 meeting and the
City Council meeting. You did answer some questions, but many still remain. I know
the City of Golden Valley is working between many different organizations, MET council
and Hennepin County and every organization has an agenda, which is not always
apparent to all the stakeholders.
I would also like to say thank yau to the Mayor and council members who were
responsive to our needs and were willing to be proactive in engagement versus
reactive. We do not know the final results of these conversations, but at least the
conversation begins, no matter the opinions.
As you all know one of the reason the residents were so upset is they felt a bait and
switch happened. They were told over and over again and given drawings that it was a
station being put in and possibly parking issues would arise. We knew the Fire Station
was an area that may be developed as this was identified on one of the very first
original documents, but we were never given a heads up as to this change. I know
residents need to be involved and watch city news, etc., but when the norm has been
one message for years one continues to think it is the same till someone notifies them,
many residents just thought the November 12 meeting was to just discuss the station,
nothing else. Advertising this meeting as just another LRT meeting is one of the
reasons residents were upset, it was not just another LRT meeting on the station, it was
much more.
From the presentation I would like to correct/comment on... the presentation stated
there were signs on Golden Valley road for the November 12th meeting. I would like to
ask where those signs were? I drive Golden Valley Road to Highway 100 everyday and
there was not an electronic sign posted. I even drive from Highway 100 to Douglas
once a week. There were signs for the spring and summer meetings, as I remembered
there was a meeting and emailed Jason for places to comment, which he responded.
In regards to the Facebook page. I called the city Friday November 14 and asked about
the modes of communication that were used to notify the residents and I was asked if I
was on the Facebook page. I responded by saying you have a facebook page, where
would I know you had one? A few years ago I called the City Planning office about
something and the conversation moved to "how to be engaged as a citizen". The
individual on the phone mentioned they did not have a Facebook page yet as the city
was trying to figure out privacy and security issues with it. At this most recent
conversation, November 14, she said I could find the information in the City News. I
looked in the most recent City News and there is no apparent mention of a Facebook
page, unless it is buried in an article. The announcement of a Facebook page may
have happened right when the page was created, but please remember it takes people
around 7 times to change one behavior and if people just move into the city they don't
know there was a link in a previous issue.
I know the statement was made that an email alert did not go out on this meeting and
that was an issue. Again, the City has outlets for communication and if they not used by
the sender the receiver can not get the information. For some this may be their only
way getting information about what is going on in the city, we can't exclude them. I was
one of those peaple. I rely on the email alerts to let me know what is going on regards
to city agendas, park and recreatian, other city items.
I would like to offer a suggestion on outreach efforts, I understand the staff of the City of
Golden Valley work very hard and do not have a lot of time for other tasks, but if the city
really wants to engage residents they have to use modes of communication that reach
residents where they are. The city demographics is changing to families. This means
families are stretched with information from their kids school, faith organizations, work,
city/state/federal government, they will miss stuff. I know the City advertised in a variety
of communication outlets, which does qualify as notification, but if the city really wants
residents involved, communication has to happen where people are, this is change
management.
Again, thank you for your presentation and I look forward to working with the city more
on this project and others.

Subject: Comments on the Goncept Plans presented at the Nov. 12th Open House
Dear Mr. Zimmerman and Bottineau Transitway planners,
Thank you for fielding sa many of our questions at the Golden Valley City Council
meeting on Tuesday. I know that there is already a Istter on file from me regarding
development around the new light rail station at the Golden Valley Road/Theodore
Wirth Parkway intersection. But having heard more details and clarifications regarding
the concept plans, I wanted to formally submit two comments to you by your Friday
November 21St deadline so that these can be factored into new proposals for this area
in advance of the next public workshop in January 2015.
First, as a resident of 2309 York Avenue North, which is located in the "targeted
neighborhood" for redevelopment near the new Golden Valley Road station, I wanted to
register my opposition to the re-zoning suggested in Concept Plan B. That re-zoning
would involve replacing or surrounding my current residence with new high-density
housing. It would significantly change the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood
that I chose to live in specifically because it was not a high-density or commercial area.
At the City Council meeting, it was belabored that this concept plan (and the others)
were long range, to help the city of Golden Valley visualize possibilities for what the
area around the station might eventually become. But as a resident who is also thinking
ahead to the next few decades at this location, even eventual plans to re-zone this area
will impact the neighborhood right now, and restrict our options as homeowners. This
will be the case whether the city some day chooses to exercise eminent domain, or
whether it opts for the gentler re-zoning path described at the City Council meeting of
allowing as-yet-unnamed developers to gradually buy out individual residents one by
one. For these reasons, please make note of my opinion that re-zoning of this specific
neighborhood should be taken off the table in the new January concept plan. If it is
deemed necessary for high-density housing and commercial centers to be allowed to
spring up in the vicinity of the new Golden Valley Road station, I strongly urge the
planners to find and consider other land nearby for this purpose, rather than trying to
change the land use af an already existing and well-established neighborhood.
Second, I wanted to express a concern about the current time frame and tactics for
soliciting community input. Concept plans were publicly presented for the first time to
Golden Valley residents via the Open House on November 12th. We were given until
tomorrow (November 21 St), just over one week, to become informed and to respond to
three concept plans that were created without any outreach or involvement of the
targeted neighbarhood. On the Bottineau LRT Community Works' website,
<http:/fwww.hennepin.us/bottineau>, the planners further state that between now and
January 2015, collected comments will be assessed and one single "preferred
alternative" concept plan will be prepared for the consideration of the city. In partial
response to our neighborhood concerns about this timeline, at the recent Golden Valley
City Council meeting, the mayor suggested that aggressive and urgent outreach
happen so that the feedback of potentially affected local residents can be factored into
the new plan. Even so, due to the way that the planners have laid out the schedule, we
have been left with only one month and a half before January to somehow make
ourselves heard as Goncepts A, B and C are filtered down into one single, more
definitive "preferred alternative". This is a time interval that also includes the
Thanksgiving, December and January 1 St holidays when many city employees and local
residents are on vacation. Due to this insufficient and poorly timed window, and due to
the disproportionate impact of this city planning on our neighborhood, I would
respectfully ask that Hennepin County, the Metro Council, and the outside consultants
in particular give immediate attention to rethinking their timeline and outreach strategy
to Golden Valley residents. The Golden Valley mayor, city officials, and our state
senators should not have been put in the position of having to intervene and mediate on
our behalf. Even in concept Phase I, the planners themselves bear some responsibility
for making adequate time and provision for outreach to potentially affected
communities.
As I noted in previous correspondence, I present this feedback as a supporter of the
Bottineau Light Rail corridor and a commuter who recently relocated near Golden
Valley Road specifically to make use of the new station. I am hopeful that my
comments and those of my neighbors will be heard and processed in a way that allows
us to actively support a worthwhile project, instead of having to stand at cross
purposes. Thank yau in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Karin Velez

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing- Preliminary PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods PUD No. 120- 1801 Noble
Drive -The Lecy Group, Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
The Lecy Group is seeking approval of a Planning Unit Development (PUD) Permit to create three
single family lots at 1801 Noble Drive with access via a shared driveway.
The proposal consists of two lots—a vacant lot of 3.27 acres and a 0.2 acre lot, 20 feet wide,
which contains a driveway. A single family home previously stood on the larger lot but was
demolished in August of 2014. Three luxury homes are proposed to be constructed in its place.
The site has roughly 510 feet of lakeshore on Sweeney Lake, to the southeast, and is surrounded
by mostly undeveloped properties zoned for Single Family Residential (R-1). The driveway
accesses Noble Drive to the north and also provides access to the single family home at 1807
Noble Drive,
The property immediately to the north (no existing address) was recently approved for
subdivision into two lats. A 30 foot strip of land that could have prvvided the right-af-way
necessary to construct a public street was proposed as a part of that subdivision but was not
approved.
As the only lot frantage is the 20 foot wide parcel that currently provides access to the site, the
Applicant is without the adequate amount of frontage on an improved public street needed to
qualify this proposal as a typical minor subdivision. The Applicant has proposed a cul-de-sac at
the south end of the driveway which would provide the typical 80 feet of width at the front yard
setback for each of the new lots being created. A PUD is necessary to allow the use of a shared
driveway to provide access to these lots from Noble Drive.
On November 10 the Planning Commission recommended approval (7-0) of the request.

Recommended Action
Motion to approve the Preliminary Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods PUD No. 120 subject to the
following conditions:
1. The revised plans prepared and submitted by Civil Site Group, dated 10/15/14, shall become a
part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire Department to
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 3, 2014, shall become a part of this
approval.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering Division
to lason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 5, 2014, shall become a part of this
approval.
4. No additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed along the private street.
5. Prior to Final Plan approval, the Applicant shall show, to the satisfaction of the Engineering
Division, that the snow storage area and the infiltration basin area do not overlap.
6. The Final Plat shall include "P.U.D. No. 120" in its title.
7. The City Attorney shall determine if a park dedication fee is required for this project prior to
Final Plan approval.
8. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.
In additian the Council makes the following findings pursuant to City Code Section 11.55, Subd.
5(E):
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. The Applicant has worked to accommodate the
unique characteristics of the site, including the lack of adequate frontage on an improved
public street for the three single family lots and the reliance on a narrow shared driveway
for access. While this situation is less than ideal, the efforts of the Applicant have resulted
in a Preliminary PUD Plan that sufficiently addresses the many challenging aspects
present. Staff believes this standard has been met.
2. Preservation. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable partions of the
site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep
slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands, and open waters. Much of the site's wooded
areas are left undisturbed and a conservation easement will be established along the
shoreline of Sweeney Lake to protect the slope, trees, vegetation, and natural habitat.
Staff believes this standard has been met.
3. Efficient and Effective. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes
preservation) of the land. The size of each of the three proposed single family lots—well
over the minimum area required—is consistent with the surrounding residential uses and
the amount of impervious (hard cover) surface is well below the maximum allowed. Staff
believes this standard has been met.
4. Compatibility. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals. The use of
this property for single family homes is compatible with the neighboring properties and
the density being proposed is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff
believes this standard has been met.
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. Staff believes this standard
has been met.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all
other PUD ordinance provisions. Under the current proposal, the amount of frontage on
Noble Drive has been determined to be adequate to serve the development. In addition,
the proposed private street has been evaluated and found to be acceptable in place of the
public street typically required. Staff believes this standard has been met.

To: Goiden Vatley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing– Preliminary PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods PUD
No. 120–1801 Noble Drive–The Lecy Group, Applicant
Background
The Lecy Group is seeking approval of a Planning Unit Development (PUD) Permit to create three
single family lots at 1801 Noble Drive with access via a shared driveway.
The proposal consists of two lots—a vacant lot of 3.27 acres and a 0.2 acre lot, 20 feet wide, which
contains a driveway. A single family home previously stood on the larger lot but was demolished in
August of 2014. Three luxury homes are proposed to be constructed in its place. The site has
roughly 510 feet of lakeshore on Sweeney Lake, to the southeast, and is surrounded by mostly
undeveloped properties zoned for Singte Family Residential (R-1). The driveway accesses Noble
Drive to the north and also provides access to the single family home at 1807 Noble.
The property immediately to the north (no existing address) was recently approved for subdivision
into two lots. A 30 foot strip of land that could have provided the right-of-way necessary to
construct a public street was proposed as a part of that subdivision but was not approved.
Summary of Proposal
The proposed PUD would allow the Applicant to subdivide the larger lot into three single family
lots, each with more than half an acre of land above the ordinary high water line (OHWL). As the
only fot frontage is the 20 foot wide parcel that currently provides access to the site,the
Applicant is without the adequate amount of frontage on an improved public street needed to
qualify this proposal as a typical minor subdivision. The Applicant has proposed a cul-de-sac at
the south end of the driveway which would provide the typical 80 feet of width at the front yard
setback for each of the new lots being created. A PUD is necessary to allow the use of a shared
driveway to provide access to these lots from Noble Drive.

PUD 120 - Site AAap
Were it not for the unique circumstance of the 20 foot wide parcel that precludes the ability of
the Applicant to meet the minimum lot width requirements at the front setback line, this
proposal could be processed as a minor subdivision and would meet all the requirements of the
zoning district. Similarly, the length of the narrow driveway creates some challenges in providing
adequate sewer and water connections and emergency vehicle access to the proposed lots.
In order to address this situation,the Applicant has chosen to pursue the subdivision of the larger
lot through a PUD and has proposed a number of approaches to deal with the shared access.
Utilities (sewer and water) are proposed to be located underneath the driveway and constructed
to standards reserved for situations in which the typical 10 feet of separation between sanitary
sewer and watermain is not possible. The Engineering Division has reviewed these plans and
believes they are acceptable as shown.
After the installation of utilities, a new private 16 foot wide driveway would be constructed
within the 20 foot wide parcel to standards that allow for the weight of emergency vehicles. "No
Parking— Fire Lane" signs would be posted along the length of the driveway and a 60 foot
diameter cul-de-sac would be constructed at the southern terminus, providing the ability for
emergency vehicles to turn around. Snow removed from the shared driveway would be plowed
into a snow storage area located in the northwest corner of the Lot 1, adjacent to the cul-de-sac.
Based on projected building footprints and driveway locations for the three proposed homes,the
2
Applicant has calculated that the amount of impervious surface will be only slightly greater than
the amount that existed under the previous single lot configuration with a large home and
circular driveway (0.59 acres vs. 0.46 acres). A significant amount of lakeshore will be returned to
a natural state and serve as a buffer for the lake which will assist in improving water quality. A
stormwater filtration pond is proposed for Lot 1 to manage runoff from the new development.
Land Use and Zoning Considerations
As a PUD, the City can offer flexibility from the regular zoning requirements in order to achieve a
better development.
The following table summarizes how closely the requirements of the R-1 Single Family Residential
Zoning District are met under the current proposal:
R-1 Single Family Residential Sweeney Lake Woods
Use Single family homes Single family homes
Dimensional Standards
Minimum lot area 10,000 square feet 24,834 to 37,494 square feet
above the OHWL
Minimum lot width at front 80' 20' at driveway; 80'+ at front
setback line setback line from cul-de-sac
Structure coverage 30% maximum Sufficient lot area to allow to
meet standards
Impervious coverage 50% maximum Sufficient lot area to allow to
meet standards
Front setback 35' 35'+from cul-de-sac
Side setback 12.5'to 15' plus 0.5' for every Sufficient lot area to allow to
foot in height over 15' meet standards
Rear setback 20%of lot depth Sufficient lot area to allow to
meet standards
Height 28' for pitched roof houses; Undetermined at this time
25'for flat roof houses
The Applicant has pointed to a minor subdivision that was approved in 2012 for nearby 1540 and
1550 St. Croix Circle with a variance from the required minimum lot width at the front yard
setback. The primary difference for that application was the ability of the Applicant to provide the
necessary width with the construction of a half-circle paved area adjacent to the road right-of-way.
For various reasons, the City preferred to not have this paved area constructed. In the current
proposal, however, the option to create a cul-de-sac adjacent to the right-of-way—and therefore
to meet the minimum lot width requirement at the front yard setback—is not available.
PUD Standards and Guidelines
There are a handful of standards and guidelines set within Section 11.55 of the City Code that
regulate PUDs. The following table summarizes how closely the requirements of this section are
met under the current proposal:
3
Planned Unit Developments Sweeney Lake Woods
Lot size No minimum NA
Frontage 100' or adequate to serve the 20'
development
Principal building setbacks No closer than its height to Sufficient lot area to allow to
the rear or side property line meet standards

Private Streets
Private streets shall not be approved unless a waiver is granted by the City based on the following
and other relevant factors:
a. Extension of a public street is not physically feasible.
b. Severe grades make in infeasible to construct a public street to minimum standards.
c. A public road extension would adversely impact natural amenities.
d. No feasible present or future means of extending right-of-way from other directions.
e. If the City determines the need for a public street extension,the right-of-way for a public
street shall be provided by dedication on the plat.
Private Street Desi�n Standards
a. The street must have adequate width consistent with the Transportation Plan and must be
located and approximately centered within an easement of least four (4) wider than the
street.
b. The private street shall be designed to minimize impacts upon adjoining parcels.
c. The design and construction standards must result in a functionally sound street in balance
with its intended use and setting.
d. The number of lots to share a common private access drive must be reasonable.
e. Covenants which assign driveway installation and future maintenance responsibility in a
manner acceptable to the City must be submitted and recorded with the titles or the
parcels which are benefited.
f. Common sections of the private street service three or more dwellings must be built to a
seven-ton design, paved to a width of twenty feet, utilize a minimum grade, and have a
maximum grade which does not exceed ten percent.
g. Covenants concerning maintenance and use shall be filed against all benefiting properties.
h. Street addresses or City-approved street name signs, if required, must be posted at the
point where the private street intersects the public right-of-way.
Engineering and Fire Safety Considerations
As is standard practice for development proposals, plans for this proposal were reviewed by the
City's Engineering Division to ensure the site can be adequately served by public utilities. A
4
memorandum from the Engineering Division that addresses access, easements, sanitary sewer and
water services, grading, stormwater management, and tree preservation is attached.
The Fire Department reviewed this proposal to ensure that adequate emergency vehicle access is
achieved on the site. A memorandum from the Fire Department that addresses driveway
construction, driveway width and length, cul-de-sac size, and water supply 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.Applications
for PUDs must be consistent with the Intent and Purpose provisions and the PUD requirements
and principles and standards adhered to in the City.
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
conventiona/provisions of the ordinance. While the Applicant has worked to accommodate
the unique aspects of the site, the lack of adequate frontage on an improved public street
for the three single family lots and the reliance on a narrow shared driveway for access
creates a less than ideal situation. Staff believes this standard has not been met.
2. Preservation. The PUD p/an 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. Much of the site's wooded
areas are left undisturbed and a conservation easement will be established along the
shoreline of Sweeney Lake to protect the slope, trees, vegetation, and natural habitat. Staff
believes this standard has been met.
3. Efficient–Effective. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes
preservationJ of the land. The size of each of the three proposed single family lots—well
over the minimum area required—is consistent with the surrounding residential uses and
the amount of impervious (hard cover) surface is well below the maximum allowed. Staff
believes this standard has been met.
4. Compatibility. The PUD Plan resu/ts in development compatible with adjacenr uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals. The use of this
property for single family homes is compatible with the neighboring properties and the
density being proposed is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff believes this
standard has been met.
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general
hea/th, safety and genera/welfare of the people of the City. Staff believes this standard has
been met.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD/ntent and Purpose provision and all
other PUD ordinance provisions. Under the current proposal, the required amount of
frontage on a public street does not meet the minimum standard of 100'and the PUD plan
relies on a shared private drive rather than a public street. A waiver may be granted by the
City to allow a private street if certain factors are found to be relevant. In addition, the
current proposal does not meet the design requirements outlined for private streets. Staff
believes this standard has not been met.
5
Recommendation
The Applicant has managed to resolve many of the technical and engineering challenges and to
meet most of the PUD standards as part of this development. However, the key issue of the
private shared drive for access remains a concern.
The Fire Department has asked that any roadway be constructed to standards that can
accommodate emergency vehicles and that it be a minimum of 18 feet wide. In addition,the
proposed 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac does not provide enough area to maneuver emergency
vehicles without direct access to a full width public street.
Unless the City determines that the factors necessary to allow for a waiver from the public street
requirement are valid,the proposed private driveway would not meet the standards laid out for
PUDs.
Based on the above information and the current proposal, Staff recommends denial of the
Preliminary Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods PUD No. 120.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Preliminary PUD Plan — Sweeney Lake Woods —
1801 Noble Drive — PU-120
Applicant: The Lecy Group
Address: 1801 Noble Drive
Purpose: To allow for the reconfiguration of the one existing single family
property into a new three-lot single family development
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to reconfigure
the existing vacant parcel at 1801 Noble Drive and the existing driveway parcel into three
single family lots with access via a shared driveway. He stated that Lot 1 will be 37,494
square feet, Lot 2 will be 26,632 square feet, and Lot 3 will be 24,834 square feet, all of
which are greater than the minimum required lot size of 10,000 square feet. He added
that if not for the lack of adequate frontage on a public street, this proposal could be
reviewed as a minor subdivision rather than a PUD.
Zimmerman discussed several of the staff's concerns including: the installation of utilities
in a narrow right-of-way, fire and emergency access, the insufficient lot width at the front
setback line, and the challenges with shared driveways. He stated that the proposed 16
foot wide driveway is not acceptable and that 18 feet of width is the absolute minimum
width allowed. He referred to the PUD language in the City Code and explained that
public streets are required unless waived by the City. He added that staff is
recommending denial of the Preliminary PUD Plan as it does not meet all six of the
necessary PUD findings.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Kluchka asked about the vacant tracts H & B shown on the plans. He also asked how
many lots would be appropriate for a shared driveway. Zimmerman stated that tract B is
the Wessin property that was recently approved for subdivision. He noted that the
driveways for that subdivision will have access on Noble, not on the proposed driveway
for this current proposal. He added that tract H is a vacant landlocked parcel. Kluchka
asked if the owners of these proposed new lots would have to agree to future access.
Zimmerman said yes.
Segslbaum asked about the distinctions regarding public versus private streets.
Zimmerman stated that streets, whether public or private have to be constructed
sufficiently to get fire vehicles in and out. He added that another issue is city versus
private maintenance of the street. Segelbaum noted that a homeowner may prefer
private streets so they can control access and don't have to give up ownership.
Zimmerman agreed and added that public streets require more land for utilities and
emergency access.
Cera asked if the applicant has agreed to the 18 foot wide driveway requirement.
Zimmerman said yes. Cera asked if the owners of the property to the west have been
approached. Zimmerman stated that Mr. Wessin owns the property to the east and west
of the driveway parcel and that he is not interested in selling it. Cera asked if a private
street would be a unique situation. Zimmerman said there are few developments in the
City with private streets. Baker asked if a 20 foot wide driveway would be allowed if this
were a subdivision proposal rather than a PUD proposal. Zimmerman said no, a 20 foot
wide street would not be allowed in a subdivision proposal. Baker said there is a risk of
encroaching on the neighboring properties if they pave 18 feet in 20 feet of right-of-way.
Waldhauser noted that if the area is considered a driveway the setback requirement is 3
feet, but if it is considered a street the setback requirement is 2 feet.
Baker asked about the nature of the proposed conservation easement. Zimmerman
referred to the City Engineer's staff report and explained that the applicant will be
required to dedicate conservation easements over a portion of the shoreline adjacent to
Sweeney Lake which is consistent with recent subdivisions on Sweeney Lake. Baker
asked if the easements could be removed in the future. Zimmerman said no, they are
permanent easements to create a buffer for the lake, preserve trees, and protect water
quality.
Blum referred to the comments about the proposed driveway being 18 feet in width and
said he did not notice that written in the Fire Chief's staff report. Zimmerman stated that
in conversations, the Fire Chief has said that 16 feet in width is too narrow, but that 18
feet, although not ideal, would be acceptable.
Waldhauser stated that if this property were developed differently, or if just one new
house was built, the applicant would not need any approvals and all of the safety issues
would remain, so she thinks the City loses a lot of things without a PUD.
Kluchka asked if the applicant held a neighborhood meeting. Zimmerman said yes.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014

Segelbaum asked if the applicant has seen the staff reports and if there have been any
objections to any of the conditions in the staff reports. Zimmerman said the applicant has
received the staff reports and that he has not heard any abjections.
Johnson noted that the state fire code requires a minimum of 20 feet in width for a
private driveway and questioned why the City would entertain anything narrower. He
referred to the size of the proposed cul-de-sac and asked if the diameter of that cul-de-
sac will be wider as discussed in the Fire Chief's staff report. Zimmerman stated that the
Fire Chief has said he is comfortable with an 18 foot wide driveway and that applicant is
willing to widen the diameter of the proposed cul-de-sac.
Patrick Sarver, Civil Site Group, showed a rendering of the site. He stated that Mr. Lecy
purchased the property in June of 2013 and has experience building high quality
developments. He said because of the PUD process they have an opportunity to save a
significant number of trees and improve the water quality. He stated that the only non-
conforming issue is that their property doesn't adjoin a public street. He referred to two
other recent developments in this same area and showed the Commissioners a table
that compared the amount of hard cover, shoreline buffer and water quality of all three
proposals and said theirs is the best of the three.
Waldhauser asked if they would be able to construct an 18 foot wide road on 20 feet of
right-of-way. Sarver said yes, they can build an 18 foot wide road to a safe level and they
would like to work with the Fire Chief regarding the issue of turning emergency vehicle
around in the proposed cul-de-sac space.
Baker asked Sarver to point out the filtration basin on the plans. Sarver noted that the
proposed filtration basin is to the west af Lot 1. Baker asked if the filtration basin would
provide for the run-off from lawns and driveways. Sarver said yes. Blum noted that the
snow storage area is also shown in the same area as the filtration basin and asked if that
would impact filtration. Sarver stated that the snow storage area would be adjacent to the
filtration basin area. Waldhauser said that snow storage would affect filtration over time.
Segelbaum asked how the applicant could say which trees will stay and that the lake
buffer won't be removed when these proposed homes will be custom built. Sarver stated
that the lake buffer will be easement that can't be moved, built in, or removed. He stated
that the applicant will go to great extent to keep every tree possible and that
homeowners will be guided through the process.
Ruth Lecy, The Lecy Group, Applicant, said she doesn't want to offend the prior owner of
this property but she feels the City has received grossly inaccurate information regarding
the condition of the house. She explained that the property was bank-owned, neglected,
and was on the market for over 600 days. She discussed several of the needed repairs
including: a leaky roof, replacement of 1927 single pane windows, new appliances,
replacement of light fixtures, replacement of original bathrooms, replacement of
carpeting, replacement of front steps, and repair of a leaking well in the basement. She
added that many of the materials from the home have been salvaged and have not been
sold, as they will be used in the construction of the proposed new homes. She discussed
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 10, 2014
Page 4
the history of Lecy Bros. Construction and several of the awards they have received. She
showed the Commissioners similar projects they've done in other cities. She reiterated
that they will not be selling the lots to another builder. They will be custom building,
upper-bracket homes and protecting as many trees as possible.
Cera said he appreciates the re-use of the salvaged materials.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
George Wessin, 1152 Hamel Road, Hamel, stated the Planning Commission brought up
the feasibility of building a public street and said the answer is yes. He added that the
property he owns adjacent to this proposal is for sale and has been for a long time. He
confirmed that parcel H shown on the plans is a landlocked piece of property.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser said it would be good to see some development that can be done without
damage to Sweeney Lake or to other properties in the area. She said it seems that there
is a property owner in the area who does not want this land developed except as one
single family home, which in this market would not work. She said there isn't going to be
another proposal like this and the alternative is to leave it sit vacant, which is maybe the
goal of the neighborhood. She stated that it was her understanding that the homeowner
to the southwest would also like to develop a portion of their property which would also
require access. She added that this proposal looks reasonable except for the 18 foot
wide driveway, but this is a step in the right directian.
Cera questioned if a PUD is the appropriate mechanism to develop this property. He said
two lots might fit better than three. Kluchka said he thinks this is a creative and
appropriate use of a PUD because it gives the City a way to make improvements.
Segelbaum stated that staff has recommended denial, but he gets the sense there is
some potential for flexibility. He said it is not feasible to extend the public right-of-way so
it seems appropriate to use the PUD process. He said three lots doesn't seem excessive
and suggested adding a condition that there be no additional access off of the driveway
because he would not want the City to lack cantrol over the safety issues. Kluchka
suggested adding a condition regarding additional utilities as well. Segelbaum said he is
more concerned about driveways than utilities because the existing driveway is
undersized and he doesn't want to see it overused by ad�ing more driveways to it.
Blum asked if there is any potential of obtaining more land to the west. Segelbaum
stated that the property owner hasn't been willing to sell that land. Cera said maybe the
praperty owners could come to some sort of agreements for a public road. Baker said he
doesn't think restricting the number of access drives is a good idea. Kluchka noted that
the applicant would have to come back to the City for a PUD amendment, then the City
would have a say in how the property is further developed. Segelbaum stated that a
future homeowner might work with the property owner to the west to make the private
drive become a public street.

Johnson said that if Staff can work out the issues regarding the width of the driveway
then he would be comfortable recommending approval of this proposal because the
primary goal is the best use of the property.
Kluchka suggested conditions/findings as follows: 1) the proposal as revised meets the
City's requirements for the driveway width, cul-de-sac diameter, and water and sewer
special construction techniques, 2) there would be a conservation easement, 3) there will
be an infiltration basin and snow storage, and 4) there will be no additional driveway or
utility access along the private driveway. Cera stated that the Engineering staff report
covers many of conditions/findings discussed. Kluchka stated number one above could
say as noted in the City Engineer's staff memo.
Waldhauser asked if adding a sprinkler system to the proposed new homes was a
condition listed in any of the staff reports. Kluchka said he thinks the applicant is
planning on installing sprinkler systems. Lecy clarified that is an option they are
considering. Waldhauser said she doesn't see a reason why the Planning Commission
should add that as a condition. Segelbaum said the memo they received from the Fire
Chief said the access was inadequate. He suggested that a condition be included that
requires an updated memo from the Fire Chief stating that the revised access is
adequate.
Blum suggested a conditian be added stating that the snow storage area and the
infiltration basin area cannot be overlapping. The Commissioners agreed.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods, PUD #120
subject to the following findings and conditions:
Findinqs:
1. 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. 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. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of
the land.
4. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
5. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety
and general welfare of the people of the City.
6. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all other PUD
ordinance provisions.
7. There is sufficient information to waive the requirement of a public street in order to '
permit a private street to be constructed.

Conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire
Department to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 3, 2014, shall
become a part of this approval. An updated memo from the Fire Chief stating that the
access is adequate is also requested.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated November 5, 2014, shall
become a part of this approval.
3. There will be no additional driveway or utility access altowed along the private
d riveway.
4. The snow storage area and the infiltration basin area shall not overlap.
Zimmerman questioned if the words "private street" should be used or if the words
"private driveway" should be used. Kluchka said he thinks private driveway is more
flexible. Waldhauser said they've been talking about it as a private street so the words
"private street" should be used. Segelbaum agreed that it has to meet the standards of a
street so the words "private street" should be used.

�
,
Baker sked how many units have b ' n discussed. Zimmerman said appro 'mately 300.
Cer aid he still intrigued by the Mix d Use option and making the whole corner Mixed
U would be more creative. He sug sted modifying the existing Mixed Use definition to
f' this proposal. Zimmerman stated th t the developer has not been able to obtain the
Narrative of the Lecy Group's proposed PUD: This is the proposal to
develop the property at 1801 Noble Drive into three singfe-family lo#s. (See
attached legal description for the property at 1801 Noble Drive N. Golden
Valley, MN.) The PUD will use the 3.2 acres of land to create three home
sites; each will be larger than .57 acres. The PUD will create two home
sites, in addition to the one already established, on the lake. The original
older home has been removed.
Ruth Lecy and Roy Lecy personally own 1801 Noble Drive N. They own
the Lecy Group, which researches and purchases property to be used by
Lecy Bros Homes and Remodeling for new home building sites. Roy Lecy
owns 50% of Lecy Bros Homes. Lecy Bros Homes has been in business
#or 32 years and has built over 800 houses in the metro area. More than 90
of the houses have been built on lakeshore property. Ruth has been a
realtor since 1983.
Several months ago, The Lecy Group submitted a three lot subdivision
plan that met all the city codes and requirements. We could not proceed
with our conforming subdivision until the city received a 30' easement from
the Wessin's to build a public street.
City staff wanted a new public street built that would provide access and
services for 11 potential lots. They, the city, wanted the city sewer lying
west of our private drive to be upgraded. A subdivision larger than 3 lots
requires the construction of a very expensive storm water management
system. We were never given the option to build a city street tha# provided
access and services for only our proposed three lots. A smaller city street
designed to access only our three lots would have cut the cost of building
the street by 50%. We were only presented with the op#ion of a city street
to accommodate 11 lots.
Our proposed PUD will utilize our existing private driveway to provide
access to the three lot subdivision. The 3 proposed lots meet all city codes;
except they will not have 80' of frontage on a public street at the 35'
setback. All three of the lots in the proposed PUD will have over 80' of
frontage at the 35' setback from the proposed cul-de-sac. The city recently
granted the property owners directly west of 1801 Noble Drive a similar
variance. The Fellman / Haines subdivision on St. Croix Circle does not
have 80' of street frontage at the 35' setback.
Access to our proposed three lots by a private driveway is very similar to
accessing our property by a smaller city street built to access only our 3
lots. The private driveway will be built to handle the weight of emergency
vehicles, and it will have posted signage that states "No Parking- Fire
Lane." We are proposing to build a 60' diameter cul-de-sac; which is equal
to a public street; for emergency vehicie turnaround. We wil! instalf pubiic
water to the 3 lots and install a fire hydrant at the cul-de-sac. The lots will
be connected to city sewer.
Hardcover and its impact on the water quality of Sweeney Lake is a
concern. The addition of hardcover, described as any impervious surtace,
such as roofs, sidewalks, driveways, and patios; prevents the soil from
absorbing and natural filtering storm water run off before it enters the lake.
Adding hardcover has a negative impact on any lake. The installation of
water filtration ponds provides a piace to catch storm water run off and
allows it to be filtered before it enters the lake. Adding storm water filtration
ponds improves the water quality of the lake. We have included a storm
water filtration pond in our proposal. We are very concerned about
maintaining and improving the water quality of Sweeney Lake.
The recently approved Wessin subdivision will add hardcover from finro
homes and finro very long driveways. The Fellman / Haines subdivision
created one new home on the lake and adds hardcover equal to the
square footage of the home, patios, and driveway. Neither of these finro
subdivisions has made an attempt to mitigate the negative affect of added
hardcover on the water quality of Sweeney Lake.
The Lecy Group removed significant hardcover when the old existing
house was removed. The hardcover was extensive because of the size of
that home and its very large footprint; the large veranda; the brick patio;
the large circular driveway and the extra parking area. The hardcover that
was removed will be close to the amount of hardcover created by the
building of two new houses. The present 300' of groomed lakeshore will be
reduced to 60'. The remaining 240' will be replanted in to a riparian buffer,
to assist in improving the water quality of the fake. Lot 3, of the
subdivision, will install a private storm water filtration pond, to filter storm
water before it en#ers the lake. Our three lot subdivision will not have a
negative impact on the water quality of Sweeney Lake.
The proposed home location and driveway for lot 1, on the Wessin
approved plat, are located in a densely wooded area. Half of the home
proposed for lot 2, on that plat, is also located in a very wooded area.
Many mature trees will have to be removed to accommodate their
driveways and houses. Our proposed three lot PUD has minimum tree
removal and thus less impact on existing trees than the Wessin's finro lot
subdivision. We always do our best to preserve the mature trees.
Approval, by the city, of our three lot subdivision will not establish a
precedent for using private driveways as access to a development. The
configuratian of the land and the circumstances are unusual. We can't
image other developable land, within the City of Golden Valiey, that will
come close to having the problems involved with the Wessin's and Lecy
Group's subdivisions.
The Lecy Group will establish a homeowners association for the PUD. Its
purpose will be to manage and maintain the private driveway. It will be
responsible for snow removal, maintenance, and replacement when
required. There is an easement on lot 1 for snow storage.
In summary, the Lecy Group's PUD will:
1 ) Allow three new families to live in Golden Valley and enjoy Sweeney
Lake. It will add dollars to the tax rolls, and active citizens to the city.
2 ) Contrary to most lakeshore development, the Lecy Group's 3 lot PUD
does not have a negative impact to the water quality of the lake. If the city
were to require all future new houses built on Sweeney Lake to install
storm water filtration ponds, it would be the easiest, and most cost
effective, way for the Lake Association to help improved the water quality
of Sweeney Lake.
3 ) Lecy Bros Homes custom designs each home to maximize the natural
beauty and features of the site. Each home is unique. Lecy Bros Homes
has built over 90 homes on area lakes since 1983.
4 ) The 60' cul-de-sac on the private drive, the addition of a fire hydrant
and a private driveway that can handle emergency vehicles will help
resolve the city's safety concerns for the houses to be built in this PUD and
the approved Wessin subdivision.
5) The proposed home on Iot 1 will be located 200' from the neighbor to
the west. The proposed home on lot 3 will be 80' from the proposed home
on Wessin's lot 2 to the north east. According to Jacqueline Day and the
Wessin's, there will not be a neighbor to the north west. The Lecy Group's
PUD does not affect the privacy of adjoining property owners.
6) The three lots proposed by the Lecy Group will average 170' of
lakeshore.

Subject: Preliminary PUD#120— 1801 Noble Drive—Sweeney Lake Woods
The Golden Valley Fire Department has reviewed the preliminary PUD plans dated September 15,
2014 for 1801 Noble Drive—Sweeney Lake Woods.
This preliminary PUD proposes a splitting of one lake lot into 3 lake lots. These three lots are
proposed to be accessed by an approximately 450 foot private driveway. The driveway is proposed
to be a bituminous surface, 16 feet wide with no curb, running in a 20 foot swath of land that is
land locked between the Hanson Wood Shores property/preliminary plat (east side) and the Wessin
property (west side). Both sides of the private driveway will be signed "no parking". At the end of
the driveway the developer is proposing a 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac with no curb. A private fire
hydrant is located in the cul-de-sac with a 6-inch water main feeding it from Noble Drive/ Major
Drive.
The 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac, driveway length, driveway width and how it is constructed is of
concern for the following reasons:
- Private driveway construction:The plans do not give specifics on what standard the driveway
will be constructed to. Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) section 503.2.3 states: "Fire apparatus
access roads shall be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus
and shall be surfaced so as to provide all-weather driving capabilities". In general the fire
department will NOT drive a fire engine or a ladder truck on private driveway for the purpose of
providing emergency services unless the surfaces have been designed to carry the imposed load
of a commercial vehicle.
Roadways that are not designed to support the imposed loads will incur damage when driven
on. Large emergency vehicles may be in danger of breaking through the bituminous surface and
getting stuck. These same concerns would also impact garbage trucks and other large
commercial vehicles.
- Private driveway width and length: The width of the driveway is less than the minimum 20 foot
wide fire apparatus access road as required by the Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) section
503.2.1. The proposed drive surface width of 16 feet is NOT acceptable. Fire engines and ladder
trucks are 8 feet 6-inches in width (not including truck mirrors) and a road width of 16 feet will
NOT allow two trucks to pass on this private driveway, with or without snow. Also, during a fire
event, the narrow driveway will not be wide enough to have an ambulance pass a parked fire
engine along the side of the driveway. This creates a situation where the ambulance will be
stuck at the scene until fire trucks clear the scene. If the ambulance parks on the public street,
the ambulance crew would need to use their cot to transport the patient from the fire to the
waiting ambulance 450+feet away.
- The length of the private driveway far exceeds the 150 foot threshold for requiring a "fire
apparatus access road" per Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) section 503.1.1. The code
requires a minimum of a 20 foot wide fire apparatus access road and an appropriate
turnaround. Fire roads are designed to a 20 foot width to allow two fire engines to pass each
other on the road. This private driveway is about 450 feet (1 % football fields) in length prior to
the cul-de-sac. Based on the size of the cul-de-sac, once one or two fire trucks are on scene, ALL
other arriving trucks will need to stage on the private driveway. Once the event is mitigated, the
trucks staged on the driveway will need to back all the way out to Noble Drive/ Major Drive due
to no ability for vehicles to pass each other along the private driveway.
- 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac: This is smaller than the City's standard size cul-de-sac of 90 foot
diameter, but there are many cul-de-sacs of this size throughout the City. Please note that the
Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) appendix D recommends a 96 foot diameter cul-de-sac. With
a 60 foot cul-de-sac the fire department will be able to turn a fire engine around with one back
up movement. ft will be nearly impossible to turn the ladder truck around which means after an
emergency event the ladder truck will need to back all the way out to Noble Drive/ Major Drive.
The fire department trains to turn a fire engine around on a 70 foot diameter cul-de-sac located
in the 1400 block of Yosemite Avenue North. A 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac that is not accessed
with a full width public street is not acceptable.
The proposed private fire hydrant fed from a 6 inch pipe feed from Noble Drive/ Major Drive
should be adequate. Based on Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) the required/anticipated water
flow demands to suppress a fire at one of these homes is between 1500 and 2000 gallons of water
per minute from the fire hydrant.

Subject: Sweeney Lake Woods (1801 Noble Drive)
Preliminary PUD Review
Engineering staff has reviewed the Preliminary PUD Plans for a proposed single-family develop-
ment located at 1801 Noble Drive on Sweeney Lake. This property is located on the west side of
Sweeney Lake, south of Noble and Major Drives. The Developer has removed the existing single-
family home and proposes subdividing the property into three single-family parcels.
The comments contained in this review are based upon plans submitted to the City on
September 15, 2014 and revised on October 14, 2014.
Preliminary Plat and Site Plan:
The property being considered for subdivision does not have frontage on a public street as
required by Golden Valley City Code. The existing single-family parcel has access onto Noble Drive
via a 20-foot wide parcel that extends southward from Noble Drive and the Developer has
proposed platting this parcel as an outlot with a private driveway, within the parcel. The
proposed driveway is 16-feet wide and does not include concrete curb and gutter as required for
all streets. The proposed driveway width will make it difficult for two vehicles to pass in opposing
directions during summer months without leaving the driveway. Furthermore, during winter
months it is likely that the driveway will become narrower due to snow banks and vehicles will
not be able to pass.
The proposed driveway width is of concern to Fire Chief John Crelly, as outlined in his
memorandum dated November 3, 2014. In this memo, Chief Crelly outlines the difficulty the
Fire Department will have accessing and exiting the site in the event a fire response occurs. The
Fire Department memo concludes that the private driveway must be a minimum of 18-feet wide.
Furthermore, given the length of the private driveway, the minimum diameter of the cul-de-sac
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Preliminary PUD Review 110514.docx
should be increased to 70 feet. Engineering staff supports these recommendations by
Chief Crelly.
Engineering staff recommends that the private driveway and cul-de-sac be designed and
constructed to a minimum seven (7)ton per axle capacity in order to accommodate construction
vehicles, fire vehicles, garbage trucks and utility maintenance vehicles with a minimum risk of
pavement failure. The Developer will be required to submit design calculations and typical street
sections as part of the final PUD submittal.
The private access roadway will be owned and maintained by the Developer and/or a
homeowners association. Maintenance of the roadway must include pavement preservation and
replacement, as well as street sweeping and snow removal.
The Developer has shown a snow storage area on the north end of Lot 1 adjacent to the cul-de-
sac. However, this snow storage area overlies a proposed stormwater filtration basin. Snow
storage over the proposed filtration basin will result in compaction of the engineered soils and
decreased water quality benefits. Therefore, staff is recommending that the filtration basin or the
snow storage area be relocated.
There are existing undeveloped properties immediately adjacent to the proposed PUD on its
western boundary. The Developer will be required to dedicate a 25-foot wide driveway/access
easement across the northern portion of Lot 1 to allow the adjacent property owners access to
this parcel in the future. The driveway/access easement must also be dedicated over the entirety
of Outlot A, which contains the private driveway. The Developer must submit a copy af this
easement to the City as part of the final PUD submittal and must have the easement recorded
along with the final plat. A copy of the recorded easement must be provided to the Engineering
Department for its records.
The preliminary plat submitted for review includes drainage and utility easements on each of the
three parcels. However,the dimensions of the easements were not included. The preliminary
plat must be revised to include easement dedication consistent with City Code. tn addition, the
preliminary plat must also include drainage and utility easements covering all of Outlot A, in
order to accommodate the City sanitary sewer and water for the PUD. The Developer will also be
required to dedicate a 25-foot wide drainage and utility easement over the northern portion of
Lot 1 to allow the adjacent property owners future access to the public utilities within Outlot A.
The preliminary plat must also include drainage and utility easements over Sweeney Lake that
encompass the regulatory flood protection elevation (two (2) feet above the base flood elevation
of the lake). The Developer must show the base flood elevation contour on the final PUD Plans.
The Developer will be required to dedicate conservation easements over a portion of the
shoreline adjacent to Sweeney Lake. This easement must extend a minimum of ten (10)feet
above the ordinary high water level of the lake or ten (10)feet upland of the delineated wetland
limits on site, whichever is at a higher elevation. The terms of the conservation easements will be
consistent with recent subdivisions on Sweeney Lake, including the Hidden Lakes PUD, and will
allow each homeowner with limited access to the lake through an improved access corridor.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Preliminary PUD Review 110514.docx 2
The City reconstructed Noble and Major Drives as part of its 2006 Pavement Management
Project. The special assessment roll for the project included deferred special assessments based
upon the development potential of the parcel, estimated at that time to be $31,500. The
deferred special assessments will be re-evaluated based upon this proposed PUD at the time of
final approval and the PUD Agreement.
Utility Plan:
The Developer has proposed extending sanitary sewer and water into this development via
extensions of existing facilities to the north as shown on the Preliminary Utility Plan dated
October 14, 2014. The materials and locations shown on this plan are acceptable as shown.
However, the City reserves the right to require modifications of these plans based upon further
review during the final PUD process. The plans are also subject to the review of the Minnesota
Department of Health and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
There is adequate capacity in the City sanitary sewer and water systems to provide service to the
proposed PUD.
The watermain connection within Noble Drive will require open-cutting the street. A City Right-
of-Way Management Permit is required for all excavations and obstructions within public right-
of-way or easements.
The sanitary sewer and watermains within this PUD will be owned and maintained by the City,
but will be constructed by the Developer. Therefore, the Developer will be required to design the
utilities according to City standards and specifications and submit the plans for review and
comment. The plans must include drawings showing plan and profile views.
The Developer will also be required to submit a financial security for 150%of the estimated
construction costs of the sanitary sewer and water systems. This security will be further detailed
in the PUD and Development Agreements at the time of final PUD approval. The security will
include costs for a City representative to provide construction observation during utility
installation.
This proposed development is subject to the City's Inflow and Infiltration Reduction (I/I)
Ordinance. The Developer has removed a portion of the sanitary sewer service that served the
single-family home that formerly sat on this property at the time of building demolition.
However, the portion of the service that was left in place must be disconnected from the sanitary
sewer system or be brought into compliance with the ordinance. The three proposed homes
must undergo an I/I inspection and be deemed compliant with the code, prior to occupancy of
the homes.
All private utilities (gas, electric, and communications) serving the development must be placed
underground, consistent with City Code. There is limited space within the 20-foot corridor of
Outlot A and most of that space will be devoted to water and sewer facilities. In order to provide
the required clearance from the City's water and sewer mains, the Developer and private utility
companies may need to explore the installation of private facilities through joint trench
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Preliminary PUD Review 110514.docx 3
construction. This has been done in many other developments within the City. The Developer
must submit a revised Utility Plan showing the proposed location of the private underground
facilities with the final PUD submittal.
Stormwater Management:
This proposed PUD is located within the Sweeney Lake sub-watershed of the Bassett Creek
Watershed and is subject to the review and approval of the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission (BCWMC). Based upon the size of the development and the number of
units proposed, the BCWMC trigger for requiring water quality improvements is not met.
However, the BCWMC requires the implementation of construction Best Management Practices
for erosion and sediment control. Therefore, the BCWMC will review the plans for conformance
with its erosion and sediment control policies.
Sweeney Lake is listed as an Impaired Water for nutrients by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) and a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study was completed and approved for the lake.
The proposed development must be in compliance with the approved TMDL Study. The TMDL
implementation program identifies several Best Management Practices that may help to improve
the water quality of Sweeney Lake. Three (three) of these Best Management Practices apply to
this development and staff strongly recommends that they be included in this PUD:
1. The construction of filtration or infiltration basins is recommended to reduce the volume
of stormwater and its accompanying sediment and nutrient loads. The Developer has
submitted plans which include a filtration basin. Stormwater calculations and additional
design details will need to be provided to the City before final PUD Plan submittal. The
BCWMC will also review and comment on the design. The Developer must enter into a
Maintenance Agreement with the City outlining the recommended maintenance
requirements for the basin.
2. The establishment of vegetative buffers along the shore is recommended. As part of the
approval of this development, a 10-foot native or natural vegetation buffer is required to
be established along the lake and wetland areas. The buffer should be designed in a
manner consistent with the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance, which allows a
corridor for property owner access to the lake. The buffer must be a minimum of ten (10j
feet in width and should be shown and described on the final PUD Plans. The dedication
of a permanent conservation easement, as discussed earlier in this review, will ensure
that the buffer is preserved and maintained into the future.
3. A program for targeted street sweeping is recommended. The Developer must enter into
a Maintenance Agreement with the City that outlines a program for routine sweeping of
the private driveway and cul-de-sac. This would be similar to the Street Sweeping
Agreement with the Hidden Lakes neighborhood.
The Developer will be required to submit a Wetland Delineation Report for the site prior to final
PUD submittal. The results of this delineation will determine the extent of the conservation and
drainage and utility easements, as discussed earlier in this review.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney lake Woods\Preliminary PUD Review 110514.docx 4
The preliminary Grading Plan submitted by the Developer indicates that the proposed private
driveway for the site will be graded at the time of utility installation, and that the proposed lots
will be custom-graded at the time of home construction. Therefore, City Stormwater
Management Permits will be required at the time of utility and driveway construction, and also
for each home at the time of construction. The Stormwater Management Permit Applications
must include a Stormwater Management Plan that is prepared in accordance with City standards,
and must demonstrate that existing drainage patterns can be maintained with stormwater runoff
accommodated within the property being developed to the extent practical.
This development is subject to the City's Floodplain Management Ordinance, due to its proximity
to Sweeney Lake. The lowest floor and lowest openings of new principal and accessory structures
must be a minimum of two (2) feet above the base flood elevation to ensure adequate flood
protection. In addition, City and BCWMC requirements prohibit the placement of fill within a
designated floodplain. According to the preliminary Grading Plan submitted, there are no
proposed impacts to the floodplain of Sweeney Lake. The individual Stormwater Management
Plans submitted for each lot must also ensure that these provisions are met.
This PUD is also subject to the MPCA Construction Stormwater Permit. A copy of the permit and
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is required before work can begin.
Tree Preservation:
This development is subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. The Developer has
submitted a preliminary Tree Preservation Plan, but did not include the tabulations for significant
tree removal and replacement. 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 more detail when final PUD
Plans are submitted and at the time of permitting.
Summarv and Recommendation:
Engineering staff supports the approvat of the proposed Preliminary PUD located at 1801 Noble
Drive, called Sweeney Lake Woods, subject to the comments contained in this review. Major
points are summarized as follows:
1. The private driveway must be increased to a minimum of 18-feet wide.
2. The minimum diameter of the cul-de-sac must be increased to 70 feet.
3. The private driveway and cul-de-sac must be designed and constructed to a minimum
seven (7)ton per axle capacity.
4. The Developer must dedicate a 25-foot wide driveway/access easement and drainage and
utility easement across the northern portion of Lot 1, as discussed in this review. The
driveway/access easement must also be dedicated over the entire Outlot A, which
contains the private driveway.
5. The Developer must dedicate drainage and utility easements over Sweeney Lake that
encompass the regulatory flood protection elevation (two (2) feet above the base flood
elevation of the lake).
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney lake Woods\Preliminary PUD Review 110514.docx �j
6. The Developer must dedicate permanent conservation easements along the lakeshore, as
discussed in this review.
7. A Wetland Delineation Report must be submitted to the City prior to final PUD Plan
submittal.
8. Stormwater calculations and additional design information for the filtration basin must be
provided prior to final PUD Plan submittal.
9. The Utility Plans must be modified to show the location of proposed underground private
utilities.
Approval is also subject to the comments of other City staff, the City Attorney, and other
organizations with review authority. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions
regarding this matter.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
December 2, 2014
Agenda Item
4. B. Public Hearing-Amendments to the General Land Use Plan Map - 7751-7775 Medicine Lake
Road, 2430 and 24$0 Winnetka Avenue North, and 2485 Rhode Island North
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
At the lune 4, 2014, Council/Manager meeting the City Council identified a handful of areas in the
City where the long range plans might incorporate nodes of mixed use activity. One such area
was the southeast corner of the Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road intersection.
Recently, a development proposal has come forward that would potentially redevelop a number
of properties in that quadrant for an apartment and townhomes. These uses would be
inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan designation and zoning. This opportunity has
spurred the consideration of an amendment to the General Land Use Plan Map to reguide the
land uses to be consistent with the Council's vision and lay the groundwork for future
redevelopment.
Though the Council's vision for this quadrant is for a mixed use area, the current Mixed Use
designation within the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the established I-394 Mixed Use zoning
district, are specific to the I-394 corridor and do not translate well to other parts of the City. It is
anticipated that as part of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan update, the specific definitions of these
Mixed Use categories would be revised to make them more generally applicable across the City.
Until then, Staff is recommending utilizing other, existing, land use and zoning categories that
could serve in the interim until the update is completed.
On November 10 the Planning Commission recommended approval (7-0) of this proposal.
Preliminary plans indicate up to 309 units could be constructed on 1Q.86 acres of land, resulting
in a residential density of roughly 28 units per acre. This carresponds to the High Density
Residential designation in the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the City's High Density Residential
(R-4j zoning district.
Three of the four properties (7751-7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North, and
2485 Rhode Island Avenue North) are guided for Commercial use in the Comprehensive Plan; the
fourth (2430 Winnetka Avenue North) is guided for Light Industrial use. Under the current
proposal, the General Land Use Plan Map would be amended so that all four would be guided as
High Density Residential, which accommodates densities of 20 to 30 units per acre.
Any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment must be sent to the Metropolitan Council for
their review and comment. No rezoning or final project approval should be given by the City
Council until they have heard from the Metropalitan Council regarding the amendment. The City
may review development proposals as long as final action is not taken prior to Metropolitan
Council review of the proposed amendment.

Date: November 10, 2014
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Amendments to the General Land Use Plan Map
—7751-7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2430 and 2480 Winnetka Avenue North,
2485 Rhode Island North
Background
At the June 4, 2014, Council/Manager meeting the City Council identified a handful of areas in the
City where the long range plans might incorporate nodes of mixed use activity. One such area was
the southeast corner of the Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road intersection.
Recently, a development proposal has come forward that would potentially redevelop a number of
properties in that quadrant for an apartment and townhomes. These uses would be inconsistent
with the current Comprehensive Plan designation and zoning. This opportunity has spurred the
consideration of an amendment to the General Land Use Plan Map to reguide the land uses to be
consistent with the Council's vision and lay the groundwork for future redevelopment.
General Land Use Plan Map Amendment
Though the Council's vision for this quadrant is for a mixed use area, the current Mixed Use
designation within the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the established I-394 Mixed Use zoning
district, are specific to the I-394 corridor and do not translate well to other parts of the City. It is
anticipated that as part of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan update, the specific definitions of these
Mixed Use categories would be revised to make them more generally applicable across the City.
Until then, Staff is recommending utilizing other, existing, land use and zoning categories that could
serve in the interim until the update is completed.
The current developer has purchase agreements for three properties and is pursuing a fourth. Staff
recommends evaluating the reguiding of all four properties for high density residential use but
retaining the option to remove the fourth property from consideration if a deal cannot be reached
to include the property in the project before the amendment advances to the City Council.
Preliminary plans indicate up to 309 units could be constructed on 10.86 acres of tand, resulting in
a residential density of roughly 28 units per acre. This corresponds to the High Density Residential
designation in the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the City's High Density Residential (R-4) zoning
district.
Three of the four properties (7751-7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North, and
2485 Rhode Island Avenue North) are guided for Commercial use in the Comprehensive Plan;the
fourth (2430 Winnetka Avenue North) is guided for Light Industrial use. Under the current
proposal, the General Land Use Plan Map would be amended so that all four would be guided as
High Density Residential, which accommodates densities of 20 to 30 units per acre.
Any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment must be sent to the Metropolitan Council for their
review and comment. No rezoning or final project approval should be given by the City Council until
they have heard from the Metropolitan Council regarding the amendment. The City may review
development proposals as long as final action is not taken prior to Metropolitan Council review of
the proposed amendment.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the General Land Use Plan Map Amendment, reguiding 7751-7775
Medicine Lake Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North, and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North from
Commercial to High Density Residential, and 2430 Winnetka Avenue North from Light Industrial to
High Density Residential.

3. Informal Public Hearing — General Land Use Plan Map Amendment— 7751-7775
Medicine Lake Road, 2430 and 2480 Winnetka Avenue North, and 2485 Rhode
Island Avenue North — CPAM-55
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Addresses: 7751-7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2430 and 2480 Winnetka Avenue
North and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North
Purpose: To change the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Commercial to High Density Residential for the properties at 7751-
7775 Medicine Lake Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North and 2485
Rhode Island Avenue North and from Light Industrial to High Density
Residential for the property at 2430 Winnetka Avenue North
Zimmerman stated that staff met with the City Council in June to do long range planning
for different areas within the City. He explained that a developer has come forward with a
potential proposat for an apartment and townhomes on the southeast quadrant of the
Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road intersection. These uses would be
inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan designation and the zoning of the
properties. He stated that the Council's vision for this quadrant is for a mixed use area,
however the current Mixed Use Comprehensive Plan designation and the established
I-394 Mixed Use zoning district do not translate well to this area, so staff is recommending
that the four properties be reguided and rezoned to High Density Residential.
Baker asked how many units have been discussed. Zimmerman said approximately 300.
Cera said he still intrigued by the Mixed Use option and making the whole corner Mixed
Use would be more creative. He suggested modifying the existing Mixed Use definition to
fit this proposal. Zimmerman stated that the developer has not been able to obtain the

corner property. He added that the I-394 Corridor hasn't had any vertically mixed uses
proposed and thinks more horizontally mixed uses next to each other might work.
Johnson asked if this would be the largest high density area in the City. Zimmerman said
he wasn't sure.
Segelbaum asked if the City thinks it is appropriate to include the corner in the proposal
even if they are not interested in this particular development. Zimmerman stated that the
Council wants to get things started with this proposal and they don't want to reguide or
rezone the corner property without their consent. Kluchka suggested that the corner
property could maybe be changed in the future.
Baker questioned accommodating a developer who is applying for something right now,
as opposed to slowing down and looking at the whole area. He said the City should be
looking at the long view and he doesn't see the benefit of accommodating what may not
be a viable project. Zimmerman stated that creating a new land use category is a very
long process.
Cera questioned why there isn't a rezoning request along with the Comprehensive Plan
amendment request. Zimmerman stated that the rezoning request will happen along with
the development application.
Waldhauser said this is a good location for higher density housing.
Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Todd Schachtman, Intuitive Investments, 9905 St. Johns Road, Minnetonka, said he grew
up in this area and wants it to be vibrant and energetic again, so when the opportunity
came up to look at the VFW parcel it struck him that this could be something much better
for the City. He said there is an opportunity with his proposal to help fix the flooding
issues in the area and he is at a point where this is a formative development and he is
ready to go with this first step in the process. He said his proposal will have an everlasting
impact on the northern gateway to the City and he is planning for apartments and
townhomes to provide choices for a wide variety of demographics. He stated that what
the VFW has meant to the area is very important so he is considering call the project
�.iberty Crossing to pay homage. The VFW will also be able to use a community room in
the apartment building and hopefully this will be a project people are proud of. He said
that he ideally wants the corner property as well, but it just didn't happen.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Kluchka asked about underground parking and if it would be compatible with the soils in
this area. Zimmerman said he knows that soil borings have been done and if the soils
work, underground parking could be a possibility.
Baker stated that he noticed nothing has been mentioned about a commercial component
with this project. He said he wants to see more mixed use development and wants to
continue to explore the idea of Mixed Use zoning.

Schachtman stated mixed use projects in general are tough to finance, and to find lasting
tenants. He said he'd love to incorporate a commercial use and he is still considering the
corner property because it would be the best option for retail, but Walgreens is an
obstacle because a new retail use would not be contiguous. He said he will continue to
look at all the options however, he thinks the definition of mixed use, and the definition of
retail will change in the future.
Kluchka asked if the High Density designation prevents the applicant from doing any
other types of uses. Zimmerman said no, and added that the dominant use would be High
Density residential. Baker asked if re-designating the property would restrict in any way
the future use of the property. Zimmerman said no, the properties can be reguided or
rezoned in the future.
Johnson asked what "dominant use" means. He said that this looks like it would be the
largest high density area in the City and questioned why they wouldn't want to try to
segment it. Zimmerman stated that zoning allows one land use but a PUD would allow
variation from that.
Kluchka questioned if High Density residential is the right thing for this space. Baker said
he thinks this is an excellent place for High Density development.
Johnson said he is concerned about the volume of peop�e in one area and reiterated that
this one area would be two or three times bigger than other High Density areas in the
City.
Cera stated that townhomes would be a better fit in the Medium Density category.
Zimmerman stated that the categories are based on the number of units per acre.
Segelbaum asked why traffic isn't being considered at this point. He said this sounds like
a good project, but he thinks it is premature to consider reguiding the Comprehensive
Plan at this point.
Waldhauser asked why the staff report says the City wants to retain the option to remove
the fourth property from consideration if needed. Zimmerman stated that the car wash site
is being considered, but its purchase has not yet been finalized.
Johnson asked if the rezoning decision is based on more concrete criteria. Zimmerman
said ultimately the Council could decide not to rezone the properties. Kluchka added that
approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment just allows the developer to keep
moving forward.
MOVED by Cera, seconded by Baker and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of changing the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Commercial to High Density Residential for the properties at 7751-7775 Medicine Lake
Road, 2480 Winnetka Avenue North and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North and from Light
Industrial to High Density Residential for the property at 2430 Winnetka Avenue North.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
December 2, 2014
Agenda Item
4. D. Public Hearing-Adopting Modification No. 2, Tax Increment Financing Plan for Highway 55
West Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 (Renewal and Renovation)
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
On November 12, 2014, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopted a resolution
modifying the existing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan within the Highway 55 West TIF District
No. 1 in order to support the project proposed by Golden Villas, LLC. On November 24, 2014, the
Planning Commission reviewed the modified plan for consistency with the City's Comprehensive
Plan, and adopted a resolution affirming its conformance.
The existing plan for Highway 55 West TIF District No. 1 (Renewal and Renovation) identifies the
statutory authority, highlights current conditions in the project area, outlines anticipated
improvements, and identifies goals, objectives, policies, and administration for the proposed
project area. The modified TIF plan outlines the anticipated income created by the new project
within the district and planned expenditures.
If the modified Financing Plan is approved, state statutes allow the district to continue for 15
years. However, the City Could choose to close the district when increment covering the
expenditures has been received. The Financing Plan creates an overall budget, but the City
Council is required to authorize each project to be financed by the TIF.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Modification No. 2 to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Tax Increment Financing (Renewal
and Renovation) District Highway 55 TIF Renewal and Redevelopment Project is to account for a delay in scope and
timing of the proposed private development. The original TIF Plan anticipated the development of a 142 unit
apartment building, with construction commencing in 2013. This TIF Plan modification is prepared to update the
development scenario to account for the development of a 162 unit apartment builtling with construction commencing
in 2015. The modification also accounts for an increase in the project budget to account for the revised size and
scope of the proposed development. The proposed motlifications to the TIF plan are highlighted by underlined text.
The proposed modification does not increase the overall size of the District, but does increase the overall size of the
budget. The sections being modifietl are: F, I,J, K, L, M, N, 0, P, V,X, and Y.

See"Statement of Need antl Public Purpose"on page 4 of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area.
Section D Statement of Objectives
See "Statement of Objectives"on pages 4-5 of the of the Retlevelopment Plan for the Project Area.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a
Renewal and Renovation District
Renewal and Renovation districts are a type of tax increment financing district in which the following conditions exists:
1)
i) parcels comprising at least 70% of the area of the district are occupietl by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots,or other similar structures;
ii) 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substantlard; and
iii) 30 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing
conditions such as: inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships,
overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not
SPRINGSTED Page 1
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and
general well-being of the community.
2) the contlitions tlescribed in clause(1)are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the tlistrict.
For purposes of determining whether a building is structurally substandartl, whether parcels are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures, or whether noncontiguous areas
qualify,the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 469.174, subtlivision 10, paragraphs(b)through(fl, apply.
For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the provisions
listed above,as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole.
The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in (1) and (2)
above. An executive summary of a report prepared by LHB Corporation that details the qualifications is included in
Exhibit VI.A copy of the entire report with supporting facts antl tlocumentation for this determination is on file with the
Authority and is available to the public upon request. The full report will be retained by the Authority for the life of the
TIF District.
"Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings containing defects or tleficiencies in structural elements, essential
utilities antl facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection (including egress), layout antl condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors. Generally, a builtling is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to a new building, or coultl be motlified to satisfy the existing code at a cost of less than 15%of the cost of
constructing a new structure of the same size and type.
A city may not find that a buiiding is structurally substandard without an interior inspection, unless it can not gain
access to the property and there exists evidence which supports the structurally substandard finding. Such evidence
includes recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of
deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior
inspection was not conducted must be made and retained. A parcel is deemetl to be occupied by a structurally
substandard building if the following conditions are met:
(1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building within three years of the filing of the request for
certification of the parcel as part of the district;
(2) the demolition or removal of the substantlard building was performed or financed by the City, or was
performed by a developer under a development agreement with the City,
(3) the City found by resolution before such demolition or removal occurred that the building was structurally
substandard and that the City intended to include the parcel in the TIF tlistrict, and
(4) the City notifies the county autlitor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be adjusted upon filing
the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district.
In the case of(4) above, the County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the parcel to be the greater of
(a)the current tax capacity of the parcel, or (b)a computed tax capacity of the parcel using the estimated market
value of the parcel for the year in which the demolition or removal occurretl, antl the appropriate classification rate(s)
for the current year.
A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15%of the area of the parcel contains builtlings, streets, utilities, paved or
gravel parking lots; or other similar structures.
At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a renewal and renovation district must be used to finance the cost of
correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment district. These costs include, but are not limitetl to,
acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances,
pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit
development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures, clearing of land, removal of hazardous substances or
SPRINGSTED Page 2
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
remediation necessary to develop the land, and installation of utilities, roatls, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the
site. The allocated atlministrative expenses of the Authority may be included in the qualifying costs.
Section F Duration of the TIF Disirict
Renewal and Renovation districts may remain in existence 15 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment.
The Authority anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law(projected
to be through the year 2032). Modifications of this plan (see Section Z) shall not extend these limitations. All tax
increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertifietl shall be paid to the Authority.
The Authority has elected to delay receipt of increment for a periotl of four vears; therefore, the anticipated first
potential collection vear would not occur until 2016 in the event that inflationarv increment is qenerated The
Authoritv anticipates that inflationarv increment will not be qenerated and therefore the first collection vear will be in
2017. The Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed
by law (projected to be through the year 2032), and anticipates that the TIF District may be active for the maximum
duration allowed (see Section P). However the Authority will tlecertify the TIF District as early as possible shoultl the
projected increment be received in a shorter time periotl than originally projectetl. All tax increments from taxes
payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority.
Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District is an approximate 4.46-acre area of land located within the Project Area. A map showing the location
of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I. The boundaries and area encompassed by the TIF District are described

Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The proposed project includes the redevelopment of a currently blighted site by the construction of a 162-unit market
rate apartment project. The proposed apartment qroiect is anticipated to be a six-storv 162-unit Class A market rate
apartment buildinp, anticipated to contain a mix of 113 one-bedroom antl 49 two-betlroom units The averaqe unit
size of the apartments is 846 sauare feet The apartment proiect will require site work improvements Proposed to be
constructed as a result of the apartment project are public improvements proposed for the area to include
improvements to the Highway 55 access/exit to Decatur Avenue North, sidewalks antl lighting to improve pedestrian
safety, burial of overhead electrical lines, regional storm water facilities and sanitary sewer lining. These
improvements are necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of the blighted site, by facilitating a safer pedestrian
neighborhood and removing costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area. The Authority anticipates
using tax increment revenues to finance a portion of the eligible public costs related to redevelopment of the project
area and the develoqment of the apartment proiect throuqh the reimbursement of TIF eliqible expenses includinq land
acquisition, as well as related administrative expenses.
The Authority anticipates tlevelopment commencing in 2015 for the apartment portion of the project. The public
improvements are slatetl to be undertaken in conjunction with the apartment project. It is likely that multiple projects
will occur within the District, although it is assumed that all project costs eligible for TIF assistance will have been
initiatetl by 2018.
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District,the Authority makes the following findings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district;
The City of Golden Valley retained the services of LHB to inspect and evaluate property
within the proposed Tax Increment Financing District to be established by the Authority.
The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the proposed district met the statutory
requirements for coverage and if the buildings met the qualifications requiretl for a
Renewal and Renovation District.
These findings are described more completely in Section E and Exhibit VI.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the Authority, woultl not reasonably be expected to
occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan.
Factual basis:
Proposed deve%pment not expected to occur.•
The proposed retlevelopment consists of the acquisition and demolition/renovation of substandartl buildings,and
the undertaking of necessary public improvements within the proposetl TIF District boundaries in the City of
Golden Valley for development of new market rate apartments. The cost of acquisition and demolition/renovation
of the existing buildings coupled with the cost of the public improvements, make the total cost of this effort
significantly higher than reasonably incurretl for similar developments on a clean site. The Authority anticipates
undertaking the public improvements necessary to provitle for an area safe for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic,
and to remove costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area.
No higher market value expected.�
SPRINGSTED Page 4
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
If the proposed redevelopment did not go forward, for the same reasons described above, no large scale
alternative redevelopment of the project site would likely occur. The currently blightetl building is now closed and
vacated, antl it is highly unlikely that significant improvements would be made. It is conceivable that the existing
buildings could be rehabilitated and reopened, but even if that occurred, the result would be only a modest
increase in market value compared to the significant value growth createtl by the proposetl redevelopment. In
short,there is no basis for expectation that the area would redevelop or be renovated in any significant way purely
by private action without public subsidy given the improvements necessary for the development of the project
area.
To summarize the basis for the Authority's findings regarding alternative market value, in accortlance with
Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,Subd.3(d),the Authority makes the following determinations:
a. The Authority's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is anywhere from$0 to some modest amount based on small
scale renovation or redevelopment that could be possible without assistance; any estimated values
would be too speculative to ascertain.
b. If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occurs in the District, the total
increase in market value would be approximately 37 240 007, including the value of the building (See
Exhibit II).
c. The present value of tax increments from the Distnct for the maximum duration of the district
permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be 5 069 240(See Exhibit V)
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur,the Authority
finds that no alternative woultl occur that would produce a market value increase greater than
32170 767(the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c)without tax increment assistance.
(3) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the Authority as
a whole,for development of the Project Area by private enterprise.
Factual basis: The anticipated redevelopment of the project site may include the construction of a new 162-unit
market rate apartment builtling,and the retlevelopment of project area consistent with the City's design goals.
(4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the Authority as a whole.
Factual basis: The City Planning Commission has determined that the development proposed in the TIF Plan
conforms to the City comprehensive plan.
Section K Estimated Public Costs
The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax
increments of the TIF District.
Land/Building Acquisition, Demolition, Special
Assessments, Public Utilities, Site 4 545 891
Improvements/Preparation Costs,and other
Eli ible Im rovement Costs
Bond/Note Interest Pa ments 3,387,437
Administrative ex enses 881,480
Other Ex enditures
Total $8 814 808
SPRINGSTED Page 5
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Go/den Valley, Minnesota
The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listetl above or to
incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the total estimated public cost is not increased. The estimatetl cost of
capitalized interest is includetl in the loan interest payment amount. The Authority reserves the right to spend
available tax increment outside of the TIF District boundaries and within the project area.
Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
Tax Increment revenue 8 814 808
Interest on invested funds
Bond roceeds
Loan roceeds
Grants
Other
Total $8 814 808
The Authority anticipates using future tax increments for reimbursement of public costs incurred from Section K. As
increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, these taxes will be reserved by the Authority as
reimbursement for public costs incurred, either through internal funtling or general obligation or revenue debt. The
Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The
Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, fetleral or state funtls, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority anticipates issuing tax increment bonds to finance a portion of the estimatetl public costs of the TIF
District, to internally loan funds to the TIF District from allowable Authority and/or City in an amount not to exceed
5 455 069(eligible costs+20%allowance for cost of issuance).
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Autlitor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 and December 31, inclusive,this value is basetl on the current assessment year.
The Certified Estimated Market Value of all the land within the TIF District as of January 2, 2012,for taxes payable in
2013,was$3,457,000 and the original net tax capacity of the TIF District is 65 390. For the qurposes of this TIF plan
the oriqinal net tax capacitv is anticipated to be adiusted to$53 000 at the time of proiect initiation based on a portion
of the propertv beinq reclassified to rental to coincide with the tlevelopment and the remaininq area continuinq to be
classifietl commercial/industrial.
Each year the County Autlitor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements;or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
SPRINGSTED Page 6
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Section 0 Original Local Tax Rate
The County Auditor shall also certify the original local tax rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all local
tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the original
net tax capacity.
In future years,the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculatetl using the lesser of(a)the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or(b)the original local tax rate of the TIF District.
The Certified Oriqinal Local Tax Rate for the TIF District is the sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2012 and
pavable in 2013, is 148.328%as shown below
2012/2013
Taxinq Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate
City of Golden Valley 58.204°/a
Hennepin County 49.461%
ISD#270 29.730%
Other 10.933%
Total 148.328%
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
The Authority anticipates that the apartment project will be 80%comqleted bv December 31 2015, creating an initial
tax capacity for the TIF District of $294,420 as of Januarv 2 2016. The captured tax capacity as of that date is
estimated to be 240 430 and the first-year of tax increment is estimatetl to be $356,625 pavable in 2017. The first
full year of increment is projected to be in $456,480 in taxes pavable 2018. A complete schedule of estimated tax
increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit IV.
The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that commercial class rates remain at 1.5%for the first $150,000 of
estimated market value and 2.0%of the market value above $150,000; antl that rental class rates remain at 1.25%.
The projections also assume a 3%annual increase in market values.
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the tlifference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
For communities affected by the fiscal disparity provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F and Chapter 276A,
the original net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determined before the application of fiscal disparity. In
subsequent years, the current net tax capacity shall either(a) be determined before the application of fiscal disparity
or (b)exclude the product of any fiscal disparity increase in the TIF District (since the original net tax capacity was
certified)times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio. The method the Authority elects shall remain the same for the life
of the TIF District, except that a single change may be made at any time from method (a)to method (b) above. »The
Authority elects method (a),or M.S. Section 469.177, Subtlivision 3(a).
The County Autlitor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The Authority
may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention to retain 100%of the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
containetl in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.
SPRINGSTED Page 7
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36%of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay
such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriatetl to the State Autlitor for the cost of
financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for
any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimatetl public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District(see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimatetl
public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S.
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a;or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County antl School
District.
Tax increments from property locatetl in one county must be expendetl for the direct antl primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the Authority.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility used for social, recreational, or conference purposes. This prohibition tloes not apply to the construction or
renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer,or other beneficiary of assistance,to
repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be subject
to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the
cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate
subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the
developer or beneficiary.
Section R Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated
public costs authorized by the TIF Plan,the Authority shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicatetl to the payment of the tax increment bonds;or
SPRINGSTED Page 8
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributetl to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.
Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule
At least 75%of the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within the district or to pay for
bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section E for additional restrictions). No
more than 25%of the tax increments may be spent on costs outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of
the Project Area,except to pay debt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are considered to
have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF District
if such amounts are:
(1) actually paitl to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after
certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and soltl to a third party, the proceeds of which are reasonably
expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year period or a reasonable
temporary periotl or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund.
(3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under bintling contracts for activities
performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after certification of the
district; or
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs(including interest) incurred within five years
from certification of the district.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District,at least 75%of the tax increments must be usetl
to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years. When outstanding bonds
have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF District
must be decertified.
The Authority does currently anticipate that an eligible portion of tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District
(including allowable administrative expenses), and such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan.
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connectetl with the physical development of the real property in the project;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provitled for, persons resitling or businesses located in the
project;
(4) amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued
pursuant to section 469.178;or
(5) amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clause(1)to(3).
Administrative expenses include amounts paitl for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic tlevelopment consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in atlministering the TIF District. Tax
SPRINGSTED Page 9
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of(a) 10%of the total tax
increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or(b) 10%of the total tax increments received by the TIF District.
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements- Four Year Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualifietl
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Autlitor, by February 1 of
the fifth year,evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of
the above activities, the Authority shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel
shall once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as
most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District.
Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retainetl captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development would not have occurretl without the establishment of the TIF District antl the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
tlevelopment therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal antl economic implications of the proposetl tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the district is estimated to be
8 846 656.
2. To the extent the project in the TIF District generates any public cost impacts on city-provided services such
as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and the impact of any general obligation tax increment
bonds attributable to the district upon the ability to issue other debt for general fund purposes, such costs will
be levietl upon the taxable net tax capacity of the Authority,excluding that portion captured by the District.
3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school tlistrict levies,
assuming the school districYs share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remainetl the same, is
estimated to be 1 773172.
4. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that woultl be attributable to county levies,
assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimatetl to be 2 949 979.
5. No atlditional information has been requested by the county or school tlistrict that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposetl for the district.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The City shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor(or notice of district enlargement), with a
listing of all properties within the TIF District for which builtling permits have been issuetl during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
SPRINGSTED Page 10
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued. The City does not
believe the issuance of the permits will have a significant impact on the original net tax capacity for the District.
Various permits have been issued for property within the TIF District within the last 18 months are a listetl below:

Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing a renewal and renovation district, more than 25% of the acreage of the property to be
acquiretl by the Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property
is pledged), then prior to such acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the
property. Such agreement must provitle recourse for the Authority should the development not be completetl.
The Authoritv does not anticipate acquirinq anv propertv located within the TIF District however the Authoritv does
reserve the riqht to acquire propertv antl enter into an aqreement if deemed necessarv The Authoritv does anticipate
enterinq into a development aqreement but not for purqoses related to the acquisition of propertv with tax increment
bonds.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The Authority may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with the
developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the lantl and improvements for each year during the life of
the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The Authoritv does anticipate enterinq into an assessment aqreement
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; a determination to
capitalize interest on the tlebt if that determination was not part of the original TIF Plan, increase in the portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retained by the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs;or designation of
property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements for
approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District; and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminatetl equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF DistricYs original net tax capacity, or the Authority agrees that the TIF
SPRINGSTED Page 11
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
DistricYs original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the
parcels eliminated.
The Authority must notify the County Autlitor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the
TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the
date of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor. The Authority shall also request that the County Autlitor certify the
original net tax capacity antl net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the
Authority shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan,
and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The Authority shall also send the County Assessor any assessment
agreement establishing the minimum market value of land antl improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that
the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the Authority the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax
increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to tlevelopment anticipated by the TIF Plan, other
development, inflation of property values,or changes in property classification rates or formulas. In administering and
implementing the TIF Plan,the following actions should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1, the Authority shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has
occurred in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will be recorded in a
timely manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District,or for motlification of
an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in determining local tax rates
for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be usetl to
determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following: ,
(a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be addetl to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be modifietl by any approved enlargement or reduction of
the TIF District;
(c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes,then the resulting increase
or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax
capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the Authority of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Section AB Filing TIF Plan, Financial Reporting and Disclosure Requirements
The Authority will file the TIF Plan, and any subsequent amendments thereto,with the Commissioner of Revenue and
the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175,subtlivision 4A. The Authority will
comply with all reporting requirements for the TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subdivisions 5
and 6.

* Statement 1: If the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to each of
the taxing jurisdictions above,the result would be a lower local tax rate(see Hypothetical Adjusted Tax Rate above)
which would produce the same amount of taxes for each taxing jurisdiction. In such a case,the total local tax rate
would decrease by 1.173%(see Hypothetical Decrease in Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that the
Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above.
Statement 2: Since the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District is not available to the taxing jurisdictions,
then there is no impact on taxes levied or local tax rates.
(1) Taxable net tax capacity=total net tax capacity-captured TIF-fiscal disparity contribution,if applicable.
(2) The impact on these taxing jurisdictions is negligible since they represent only 7.37°/of the total tax rate.

RENEWAL AND RENOVATION QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT
EXECUTNE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of Golden Valley to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Renewal and Renovation District ("TIF DistricY') proposed to be established by
the City. The proposed TIF District is located in the City of Golden Valley, bounded by Golden Valley
Road on the North, Highway 55 on the South, and Decatur Avenue North on the West (Diagram 1).
The purpose of LHB's work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory
requirements for coverage, and whether five buildings on seven parcels, located within the proposed
TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Renewal and Renovation District.

Diagram 1 -Proposed TIF District
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of six (6) parcels and a section of public road, with five (5)
commercial buildings.
All five of the buildings received a curbside visual inspection. Three buildings in the proposed TIF
District received an on-site interior and exterior inspection. Building code and Condition Deficiency
reports for each building inspected by LHB are located in Appendix B.

Exhibit VI
CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutory criteria for a Renewal and Renovation District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10a, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Renewal
and Renovation District because:
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
• 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which meets the 20 percent
requirement.
• 50 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance which is above
the 30 percent requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the
proposed TIF District.

Resolution 14-6 November 12, 2014
Commissioner Harris introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION NO. 2 TO THE
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
(RENEWAL AND RENOVAT�ON) DISTRICT NO. 1
BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of
Golden Valley, Minnesota (the "Authority"), as follows:
WHEREAS, the Authority has previously adopted a redevelopment plan (the "Project
Plan") and redevelopment project under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047,
designated as the Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Project Area (the
"Redevelopment Project") and a tax increment financing plan of the Authority under
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, designated as the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and Renovation) District No. 1, as
amended by an administrative modification adopted January 15, 2013 (as so modified, the
"Financing Plan"). The Financing Plan established Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and
Renovation) District No. 1 (the "TIF District").
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the Authority approve Modification No. 2 to
the Financing Plan (the "Amended Financing Plan") to account for a delay in scope and
timing of the proposed private development and to increase the budget of the TIF District,
all as reflected in the Amended Financing Plan and presented for the Authority's
consideration;
WHEREAS, the Autharity has investigated the facts relating to the Amended
Financing Plan and has caused the Amended Financing Plan to be prepared;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the "City
Council"), has scheduled a public hearing on the Amended Financing Plan to be held on
December 2, 2014, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469 (the "Public
Hearing");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board as follows:
Section 1. Adoption. The Amended Financing Plan is hereby adopted based on the
findings herein, subject to approval by the City Council following the Public Hearing.
Section 2. Findinqs. The Authority hereby makes the following findings:
(a) The District consists of a contiguous geographic area within a "project" as
defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 8, and is a proper "tax
increment financing district" within the meaning of Section 469.174, subdivision 9.
Based on the information in Amended Financing Plan and representations of the
developer, the District contains the following conditions: Parcels consisting of 70% of
the area of the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel
parking lots, or other similar structures; 20% of the buildings are structurally
substandard; and 30% of the other buildings require substantial renovation or
clearance to remove existing conditions, such as inadequate street layout,
incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land,
excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or
Resolution 14-6 - Continued November 12, 2014
conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general well-being
of the City. The foregoing conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the
geographic area of the District. Therefore, the District qualifies as a "renewal and
renovation district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
subdivision 10a.
(b) The private redevelopment proposed to be encouraged in the
Redevelopment Project pursuant to the proposed Project Plan would not, in the
opinion of the Authority, reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax
increment financing is deemed necessary. Furthermore, in the opinion of the
Authority, the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated ta result from the proposed development after
subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum
duration of the District permitted by the Amended Financing Plan. The studies and
analyses supporting these findings are identified in the Amended Financing Plan.
(c) The Amended Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The redevelopment activities
are compatible with the City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and
encourage efficient use of existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use
Plan.
(d) The Amended Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent
with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment
of the District by private enterprise. The redevelopment activities contemplated in the
Project Plan would help to retard blight in the Redevelopment Project and provide an
increase in employment and housing opportunities in the City and enhance the tax
base of the City and overlapping taxing jurisdictions.
Section 3. Transmittal. The Authority does hereby transmit the Amended Financing
Plan to the City Council for approval after the same have been considered by the City
Council subsequent to the Public Hearing.
Section 4. Filinq. Fallowing approval by the City Council, the Secretary is hereby
authorized and directed to file the Amended Financing Plan with the Commissioner of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.175, subdivision 4a.

Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION NO. 2 TO THE
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING (RENEWAL AND RENOVATION) DISTRICT NO. 1
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
"C�"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01, The City approved a redevelopment plan (the "Pro�ect Plan") and
redevelopment project of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden
Valley (the "Authoritv"), under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047,
designated as the Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Project Area (the
"Redevelopment Project") and a tax increment financing plan of the Authority under
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799 (the "Act"), designated as the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and Renovation) District
No. 1, as amended by an administrative modification adopted January 15, 2013 (as so
modified, the "FinancingPlan"). The Financing Plan established Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1 (the "District").
1.02. Pursuant to the Act, the Authority has adopted Modification No. 2 to the
Financing Plan (the "AmendmenY' and together with the Financing Plan, the "Amended
Financing Plan"). The Amended Financing Plan updates the development scenario and
increases the budget of the District, and provides for other conforming changes, all as
reflected in the Amended Financing Plan and presented for this Council's consideration.
1.03. Members of the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County and of
the Board of Education of Independent School District No. 270 have been given an
opportunity to meet with the City and comment on the Amended Financing Plan. Pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subdivisions 3 and 4, this Council on December 2,
2014, conducted a public hearing on the desirability of approving the Amended Financing
Plan. Notice of the public hearing was duly published as required by law in the New Hope
Golden Valley Sun Post, the official newspaper of the City, on November 20, 2014. The
City not received written comments on the Amended Financing Plan from the county and
the school district after providing the county and the school district board with information
on the fiscal and economic implications of the Amended Financing Plan not less than 30
days before the date of the public hearing.
1.04. In addition to the notice and opportunity described in Section 1.03 hereof, the City
delivered written notice to the member of the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin
County who represents the District. The notice contained a general description of the
boundaries of the District, the proposed development activities to be undertaken therein, an
Resolution 14-96 - Continued December 2, 2014
offer by representatives of the City to meet and discuss the proposed District with the
county commissioner and a solicitation of the commissioner's comments with respect to the
District.
Section 2. Approval of Amended Financing Plan. On the basis of the Amended
Financing Plan and the information elicited at the public hearing referred to in Section 1.03,
it is hereby found, determined and declared:
2.01. The Amended Financing Plan provides the means to finance certain public
redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment Project, including the redevelopment activities
described in the Project Plan that benefit the District. The Amended Financing Plan
contains a statement of objectives for the improvement of the Redevelopment Project, a
statement as to the develapment program for the District, and a statement of the property
within the Redevelopment Project which the Authority intends to acquire. The Amended
Financing Plan also estimates the public redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment
Project, the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, the sources of revenues to
finance or otherwise pay public costs of the District, the most recent net tax capacity of
taxable real property within the District, the captured net tax capacity of the District at
completion, and the duration of the District. The Amended Financing Plan also describes
and identifies the development activities to be undertaken or expected to be undertaken in
the District and all parcels to be included in the District. The Amended Financing Plan
further contains alternative estimates of the impact of the proposed tax increment financing
on the net tax capacities of all taxing jurisdictions in which the District is located. All the
captured tax capacity is necessary for the objectives of the District.
2.02. The District consists of a contiguous geographic area within a "project" as
defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 8, and is a proper "tax
increment financing district" within the meaning of Section 469.174, subdivision 9. Based
on the information in the Amended Financing Plan and representations of the developer,
the District contains the following conditions: Parcels consisting of 70% of the area of the
District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other
similar structures; 20% of the buildings are structurally substandard; and 30% of the other
buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing conditions, such as
inadequate street layaut, incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of
buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for
improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general
well-being of the City. The foregoing conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the
geographic area of the District. Therefore, the District qualifies as a "renewal and
renovation district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision
10a.
2.03. The private redevelopment proposed to be encouraged in the Redevelopment
Project pursuant to the Project Plan would not, in the opinion of this Council, reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable
Resalution 14-96 - Continued December 2, 2014
future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. Furthermore,
in the opinion of this Council, the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be
expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the
present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District
permitted by the Amended Financing Plan. The studies and analyses supporting these
findings are identified in the Amended Financing Plan.
2.04. The Amended Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The redevelopment activities are
compatible with the City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and encourage
efficient use of existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use Plan.
2.05. The Amended Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with
the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the
District by private enterprise. The redevelopment activities contemplated in the Project Plan
would help to retard blight in the Redevelopment Project and provide an increase in
employment and housing opportunities in the City and enhance the tax base of the City and
overlapping taxing jurisdictions.
2.06. Upon review of the Amended Financing Plan, the information elicited at the
public hearing and on the basis of the findings in Sections 2.01 through 2.05, this Council
hereby approves the Amended Financing Plan,
