4. PUBLIC HEARING
4A. Public Hearing - Ordinance #542 - Removing Special Restrictions - 6000 Duluth
Street - King of Grace Lutheran Church and School, Applicant
Planning Manager Zimmerman presented the staff report and answered questions from
Council. City Manager Burt and City Attorney Barnard answered questions from Council.
Pastor Erwin Ekhoff, King of Grace Church, presented a concept drawing of the church's
proposed plans. He stated that the church is seeking equal treatment in the 1-1 Institutional
Zoning District. He said the church would like to relocate their playground from the east side of
their property, which is in a traffic area, to the north side which is not, so that it would be safer
for the children. He answered questions from Council.
Mayor Harris opened the public hearing..
Ms. Barbara Paterson, 2040 Adair Avenue North, said a person from their neighborhood had
planned to submit a signed petition against the rezoning, but he was not in attendance. She
said she has lived in the area for as long as the covenant has been in effect. She said
regarding the church landscaping, they have only planted about seven trees on their property.
She also said the neighborhood was concerned about high water levels in the area because
when it rains the pooling water causes a small lake on the church's property.
Ms. Mary Mastrian, 2101 Brunswick Avenue North, said she has lived in the area for fifty-nine
years and when the church was originally built the neighbors did not know if it was a church or
church/school. She said at the time the neighbors were assured it would only be a church, but
a few years later a school was added. She said the expansion the church is proposing now is
unreasonable and added that the church should not break the neighborhood covenant and
expect the neighbors to hire a lawyer to defend it.
Mr. Allen Labitzky, Principal, King of Grace Church, said his greatest concern is the safety of
the children and because of this, the church would like to move their playground away from
the traffic area. He said regarding the church's landscaping, they have added many trees and
flowers to their property.
Unofficial City Council Minutes -4- February 17, 2015

6B2. Petition the Surface Transportation Board to require an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) on construction of Railroad Connector Track in Crystal
Physical Development Director Nevinski presented the staff report and answered questions
from Council.
There was much Council discussion regarding the petition to the Surface Transportation
Board to require an EIS on the construction of the railroad connector track.
Mayor Harris recommended amending the purposed resolution by the addition in the 4th

Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015
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,
February 9, 2015. Chair Kluchka called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Baker, Blum, Cera, Johnson (arrived at
7:23), Kluchka, Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present was Planning Manager Jason
Zimmerman and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Final PUD Plan — Sweeney Lake Woods — 1801
Noble Drive — PU-120
Applicant: The Lecy Group
Addresses: 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 stated that the Applicant is seeking approval of a PUD to create three single
family lots with access via a shared driveway. He explained that the project consists of
two parcels, a vacant lot 3.27 acres in size, and a 20-foot wide parcel containing a
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 how the Final PUD plans differ from the Preliminary PUD plans
including: the expanded width of the shared private driveway from 16' to 18', the
increased diameter of the cul-de-sac from 60' to 70', and relocating the stormwater
filtration basin to the rear of Lot 3 which addresses concerns about co-location with the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015
Page 2
snow storage area. He discussed how this proposed PUD compares with the underlying
zoning district and explained that an outlot will contain the driveway, the cul-de-sac and
the snow storage area.
Zimmerman referred to the utility plans and explained that typically 10 feet of separation
between water and sanitary sewer is required. However, the limited width of the driveway
parcel and the presence of an existing sanitary sewer line makes that impossible. He
stated that the Applicant has received special exceptions regarding construction techniques
which will allow the utilities to be installed legally.
Zimmerman referred to a plan showing the wetland buffer area and stated that the PUD
standards adopted in 2004 require a 25-foot buffer around wetlands. However, the
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission now recommends a more fine-
grained approach based on the type and condition of wetland being buffered. In this
case, a 10-foot buffer is the recommendation.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and reminded the Commission that at their review of
the Preliminary PUD Plan the condition of limiting utilities and further access to the
shared driveway was adopted. However, the recently subdivided properties to the east
will result in a long utility line and a long driveway running roughly parallel with the
existing shared driveway which is not ideal. One option, if the parties agree, is to allow
access to the shared driveway in order to have a shorter and less redundant driveway
system. Currently, the only way access would be allowed to the shared driveway is
through a PUD Amendment. He added that allowing future access from the cul-de-sac to
the parcel to the west would be prohibited because the current PUD has the restriction of
not allowing any further access to the shared driveway. He stated that he is
recommending that the condition regarding access to the private driveway be amended
to state that no additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed without a PUD
amendment.
Segelbaum asked if there is a third property that also accesses the existing shared
driveway. Zimmerman said yes, the property at 1807 Noble Drive accesses the shared
driveway, however, it also has frontage on Noble Drive that could be used for a driveway.
Segelbaum asked if the language regarding additional access to the driveway should state
that what is being proposed in this PUD plan would be permitted, but anything proposed
after this PUD would not. Zimmerman stated that all of the conditions will be spelled out in
the PUD Permit.
Cera asked if the Applicant has had any discussions with the owner of Lot 2 (the recently
subdivided property to the east) regarding his driveway accessing the existing private
driveway. Zimmerman said he is not sure if discussions have occurred between the
property owners, but Mr. Lecy has expressed interest in exploring the possibilities. He
added that the City would like to see consolidation of the driveways and utilities or
additional width added to the private driveway.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015
Page 3
Baker noted that the City Council voted 4 to 1 to approve the Preliminary Plan for this
proposal and asked for information on the dissenting vote. Zimmerman said there was
concern about three homes being in an area where the access was somewhat restricted.
Blum said he is concerned about access for the landlocked parcel to west. Zimmerman
stated that the area he was referring to for future access to the west is slightly south of the
landlocked parcel. He added that if access were granted for the property to the west, the
snow storage area would have to be relocated.
Waldhauser asked if the new landowner to the east agreed to give some of their land in
order to widen the driveway, how close that would come to making the driveway a street.
Zimmerman said he thinks the potential is there, if the parties want to work together.
Baker asked Zimmerman to review what led to the City Engineer to propose a reduction in
the wetland buffer. Zimmerman stated that the City Engineer and the Bassett Creek
Watershed Management Commission are recommending a 10-foot buffer and that
Planning Staff is deferring to their recommendation. He reiterated that it is the PUD
ordinance that differs from the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission's
standards. He added that there is some latitude in this case regarding the size of the
wetland buffer. Baker asked if the buffer area shown in the Preliminary PUD plans was 25
feet. Zimmerman stated that the original plans showed a 25-foot buffer before they went to
the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission for review. Waldhauser said she
would guess that the 25-foot buffer requirement in the PUD ordinance was probably meant
for a higher density project, since that is typically when PUDs are used.
Roy Lecy, Applicant, said he has never heard of requiring an additional 15 feet of wetland
buffer. He said his plans have always shown a 10-foot buffer and he doesn't feel he should
be held to a higher standard than any other proposal. He referred to the discussion
regarding the owner of the property to the east accessing the private driveway and said he
thinks it makes sense, but he would like to keep the process simple. Kluchka said this is a
complicated PUD and he thinks it would be appropriate to go through the PUD amendment
process.
Segelbaum asked Lecy if he would build the driveway and utilities differently if he knew the
property to the east might access it. Lecy said no, but he would make provisions for the
trees.
Blum asked Lecy what the hardship would be if the wetland buffer was 25 feet. Lecy said
the soil conditions really deteriorate past where the buffer is located. He said he may need
the 15 feet for the construction of the house because it is as close to the cul-de-sac as it
can be. He added that it could also affect the grading of the properties.
Waldhauser asked if the infiltration basin is intended to drain all three of the proposed lots.
Lecy said no, it is for a portion of Lot 2 and all of Lot 3. Lot 1 will have natural filtration
where it always has. He stated that the proposed 10-foot wetland buffer will increase the
water quality over what is there now.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015

Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Jeff Haines, 1550 St. Croix Circle, requested that the original driveway and access
easement across Lot 1 be left as an easement and not incorporated in an outlot with the
driveway, cul-de-sac and snow storage area.
Zimmerman said he understands Mr. Haines's concern about future access to his property,
but he doesn't think anything will be allowed to be built in the proposed outlot, just like in an
easement, but that he would confirm that with the City Engineer and the City Attorney.
Cera asked if Mr. Haines and the Applicant have talked about allowing future access.
Zimmerman stated that the future homeowner's association would need to be involved in
discussions as well especially when there is potential for broader development in the
future. He added that the City would not have the authority to require an access point to the
west. Cera asked if the land to west is subdividable. Zimmerman said yes, there are three
parcels that could be replatted a number of ways. Cera stated that the private driveway
could potentially have several more homes accessing it. Zimmerman agreed and stated
that the PUD Permit would need to be amended for any changes to the driveway access.
Christopher Gise, 1485 Island Drive, said he is confused because it has been said that the
proposed 10-foot wetland buffer is consistent with Hidden Lakes, but the shoreland buffer
on his property is 50 feet. He asked if this proposed PUD plan defines the building pads or
the building envelope area because Hidden Lakes properties had defined building pads. He
asked if anything goes as long as they are not in the buffer area.
Seeing and hearing no one else wising to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Kluchka asked if the proposal defines the building footprint or a buildable area. Zimmerman
said in this case, the plans define the building envelope because the homes will custom fit
to each lot. Kluchka asked if that is right for this development, and if it is consistent with
what is across the lake. Zimmerman said these are generous sized lots and having a
building envelope allows some flexibility in where the homes can be built.
Kluchka asked the Commissioners if they have thoughts about Mr. Haines' request for the
access easement. Cera said they might want to have a wider street to handle more traffic if
and when development occurs to the west. He said it would be nice if discussion could
occur between Mr. Lecy, Mr. Haines and the new property owner of Lot 2 to the east before
this proposal goes to City Council, so that the street can be built appropriately now, rather
than being made wider in the future. Kluchka suggested leaving the easement out of this
recommendation. Cera said he would not put the easement in the proposal now, but wait
until the PUD needs to be amended. Baker agreed. He added that there is an opportunity
now with new property owners and he's hearing about the likely potential of future access
to this road so he thinks the Commission needs to seriously consider requiring a public
street.
Blum asked if the road is being designed to handle the weight of a large fire truck.
Zimmerman said yes, it is required that a street be able to handle the weight of the largest
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015
Page 5
truck needed. Blum asked if that is one of the things the City considers when differentiating
between a public or private street. Zimmerman said that is one concern along with
ownership and long-term maintenance. Blum asked if private streets aren't being
maintained or kept safe, if the City can do the maintenance and assess the property owner.
Zimmerman said he assumes the City can require maintenance to be done or assess the
property owner. He added that maintenance agreements will also be required as part of the
Development Agreement process.
Baker asked to what extent the City is compromising the normal standards of utility
construction with the proposed design. Zimmerman explained that the typical requirement
is 10 feet of separation between the sewer and water lines. He stated that the Applicant is
proposing an alternate design that is approved by the Department of Health. Kluchka
added that the intent from the engineering perspective was to use a different construction
method that would ensure the safety of the utilities. Baker said he is trying to put the entire
project into context of where the City is giving and taking.
Segelbaum questioned if the proposed utilities are sufficient to support potential future
development because he doesn't think that will be an easy thing to change. He
encouraged the neighbors to get together and discuss future development and access.
He said he would support changing condition #4 to state that no additional driveway or
utility access shall be allowed along the private driveway without a PUD Amendment.
Baker said he is anticipating future problems with access issues.
Blum asked about trends in street widths. Zimmerman said 24 to 26 feet is typical but
when possible, narrower streets are built.
Kluchka asked the Commissioners their thoughts about the wetland buffer issue.
Segelbaum said he thinks they need clarification about the standards for wetland buffers
before this proposal goes to the City Council. Baker said that the standards are changing
as they speak. He said there is recognition of the importance of buffers in protecting water
quality and he would argue strongly for not accepting a 10-foot, or a 25-foot buffer. Blum
agreed and said there may be some flexibility on the northeast lot, but he doesn't see a
reason to deviate from the 25-foot standard in the PUD requirements. Kluchka questioned
if the City is getting enough out of this PUD to deviate from the standards. Segelbaum
said he thinks they should stick with the standards. Baker said he would like to know why
there is a 50-foot buffer across the lake and said anything they can do to help this
impaired lake they should do.
Cera referred to the lots recently subdivided to the north and asked what the wetland
buffer was in that proposal. Zimmerman said because that was a subdivision and not a
PUD, that wetland buffer is 10 feet. He added that the lots recently subdivided to the
south also have a 10-foot buffer. Kluchka reiterated that PUDs are usually done for more
intense development so that may be why the buffer standards differ. Baker said he wants
to emphasize that standards are changing now. Cera said he doesn't disagree with
having a larger buffer he just wants to remain consistent with what's been approved in
past few years. Waldhauser said this application has been under consideration for a long
time. The City has been favorable to having this area redevelop and it has been a

struggle to get to this point for a lot of people. She said she thinks the 10-foot buffer is the
standard that is in place now. She said this project happens to be a PUD because it is
complicated, not because it's on Sweeney Lake or because it has wetland considerations.
She said the fact that the standards may or may not be changing shouldn't be an obstacle
placed in front of this developer and she believes the standard that applies in this case is
the 10-foot buffer. Segelbaum said he doesn't know which standard should be applied.
Kluchka said the underlying zoning standard is 10 feet. Segelbaum said the PUD
standard is 25 feet and he doesn't know if they can deviate from that. Johnson said when
the proposal was submitted it was deemed acceptable. He questioned if the Commission
is discussing the difference between 10 and 25 feet, or if they are discussing that the very
act of building three houses is decreasing the water quality. He added that there was a
house on this property previously that also impacted the water quality. Kluchka said the
focus for him is if the City is getting enough value from this proposal. He reiterated that
this is only a PUD because of the private street and the lack of frontage. Baker said he is
dwelling on the buffer. He said it used to be okay to fill in wetlands and just because there
was a standard at the time doesn't mean that standard should be kept. He said he would
push for a larger wetland buffer on any project they are reviewing. Kluchka noted that a
larger buffer was not discussed on the recently subdivided property to the east.
Cera asked if they could recommend that the affected landowners speak to each other
before this proposal goes to City Council so that the future driveway access issues could
be addressed now and not have to come back for an amendment. Baker said he would
also like the owner of Lot 2 to consider widening the driveway parcel.
Segelbaum said he is concerned about the condition regarding additional access to the
driveway through the Minor PUD Amendment process. Zimmerman stated that the Zoning
Code has requirements regarding Minor versus full PUD amendments.
Baker said he would like to keep the condition requiring the wetland buffer to be 25 feet
wide. Waldhauser said she would not support that. Segelbaum said he would like a better
understanding of the requirements for wetland buffers. Zimmerman stated that by default,
a 25-foot buffer is a condition. He reiterated that the Engineering staff and the Bassett
Creek Watershed Management Commission have said that a 10-foot buffer is appropriate
and that the plans have always shown a 10-foot buffer. Baker questioned if the
Commission voted on a 10-foot buffer during their Preliminary Plan review. Segelbaum
said he thinks there is conflicting information.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Waldhauser to recommend approval of the Final PUD
Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods, PUD #120 subject to the findings and conditions in the
staff report.
Cera noted that the staff recommendation includes the 25-foot wetland buffer.
Zimmerman stated that the discrepancy between the PUD ordinance and the
Engineering/Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission was discovered after
his staff report was written, so Staff's recommendation is to strike condition number 3
regarding the wetland buffer. Segelbaum said that it seems to him that they are voting on
the 25-foot wetland buffer.

Waldhauser said she would like to amend the motion to include Staff's condition with the
change in the required wetland buffer to 10 feet. She added that she would also like to
amend condition number 4 to state that no additional driveway or utility access shall be
allowed along the private driveway without a PUD Amendment. Cera seconded the
amendment. Kluchka said his intent was to require a 10-foot wetland buffer. Zimmerman
stated that striking condition number 3 would make the wetland buffer requirement 10
feet.
Segelbaum amended Waldhauser's motion to state that the wetland buffer should be set
to that which is required by City Code. Baker seconded the amendment and the motion
carried 4 to 3 to recommend approval of the Final PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods,
PUD #120 subject to the following findings and conditions. Commissioners Baker, Blum,
Johnson and Segelbaum voted yes, Commissioners Cera, Kluchka and Waldhauser
voted no.
Findings:
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

characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep
slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands, and open waters.

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.

part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated February 5, 2015, shall
become a part of this approval.

Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
January 27, 2015
A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday,
January 27, 2015, at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Chair
Maxwell called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Members Maxwell, Nelson, Orenstein, Perich and Planning
Commission Representative Baker. Also present were Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily
Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
I. Approval of Minutes — November 25, 2014 Regular Meeting
MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Orenstein and motion carried unanimously to approve
the November 25, 2014, minutes as submitted.
II. The Petition(s) are:
221 Westwood Drive North
Curt Olson, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd.
11(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements
• 4.67 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30.33 ft. at its closest point to
the front yard (north) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of additional living space.
Goellner referred to a site plan of the property and explained the Applicant's proposal to
build a 2-story addition on the north end of the existing house.
Maxwell asked about the plans for the existing garage. Goellner stated that the
Applicant is proposing to convert the existing garage into living space and build a new
two-stall garage in front of that.
Maxwell asked if it is just the northwest corner of the proposed new garage that would
be in the setback area. Goellner said yes.
Curt Olson, Applicant, showed the Board plans of his proposed addition. He stated that
the lower level of the addition will be garage space and that the existing garage will be
used for a new stairway, mechanical room, and laundry/mudroom.
Maxwell asked about the depth of the proposed new garage. Bill Brugerman,
representing the Applicant, said the dimensions of the garage will be 24 ft. deep x 36 ft.
wide.

Olson handed out renderings of the proposed new additions and said his trying to
preserve the neighborhood character. He said he doesn't want someone to tear the
house down and build something else.
Orenstein asked Olson if he intends to sell the house. Olson said yes. He said this is
the second house in the area that he's renovated and that the neighbors call him a
preservationist, not a flipper.
Nelson said she has sympathy for corner lots and asked Olson if he has thought of
ways to build the proposed addition without variances. Olson said he could build on the
back of the house, but the backyard is already shallow and the neighbors to the west
wouldn't be happy if he did that. He added that building on the back of the house would
change the look of the block because the houses are linear so making an "L" shaped
house wouldn't fit in, and would look bigger than the other houses. Nelson asked if the
proposed addition could be smaller so the setback requirements could be met. Olson
said he would still need a variance even if he made the addition smaller. Brugerman,
stated that all the other properties along Loring Lane are closer to the street and that
this this house would still be the furthest away from the street. Olson added that the
block doesn't have a consistent line.
Maxwell stated that the Board tries to give the minimum amount needed in order to
build a normal sized garage. He questioned if the extra four feet is necessary or if
something smaller could be built. Brugerman stated that the length of a Suburban is
21 ft. so if the garage is only 23 ft. deep, people won't be able to walk behind the cars
without opening the garage door. He added that 24 ft. in depth is not excessive
because space is needed for garbage cans, storage, etc.
Nelson stated the Board is sensitive to front yard setback areas. She discussed the
criteria that must be met when considering variances. She said she thinks the proposal
is in harmony with the intent of the ordinances, it's consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, and it's reasonable, she just wonders if the addition could be built without
variances.
Maxwell asked Olson to address any other unique circumstances. Olson said the shape
of the property and the location of the house on the property are unique. He added that
the front of the house faces the large part of the yard which he thinks is backwards. He
would like to have the living spaces at the front of the house and the bedrooms at the
back of the house.
Nelson asked how many bedrooms and bathrooms are in the house. Olson said there
are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and he wants to put another bedroom in the
basement. He said his intent is to bring the house into the modern era.
Maxwell opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Maxwell closed the public hearing.

Nelson said she is sympathetic with corner lots. She noted that if this weren't a corner
lot the setback would be 15 ft. and that other houses along Loring Lane are closer to
the front property line than this one would be.
Baker said he is sympathetic to avoiding teardowns and preserving and re-building
instead. Nelson agreed and added that construction of the proposed addition on the
back of the house would have a bigger impact on the neighborhood.
Perich said he agrees that the corner in this case is unique, however he struggles with
this request not being caused by the landowner since there are other options. Maxwell
stated that the landowner didn't position the existing house where it is. Nelson said that
shortening one corner of the proposed new garage by 4 ft. in order to meet setback
requirements won't make much of a difference. Perich agreed that a 20 foot deep
garage isn't a good idea.
MOVED by Nelson seconded by Baker and motion carried 4 to 1 to approve the
variance request for 4.67 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30.33 ft. at its
closest point to the front yard (north) property line to allow for the construction of
additional living space. Perich voted no.
6461 Westchester Circle
Daniel Rybeck and Kathleen Searls, Applicants
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd.
11(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements
• 4.8 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30.2 ft. at its closest point to
the front yard (north) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of additional living space.
Goellner referred to a site plan and explained the Applicants' proposal to construct a
screened porch addition and a deck. The proposed deck meets the setback
requirements, however the screened porch would require a variance from the front yard
setback requirements.
Maxwell asked about the size of the proposed porch addition without the deck. Nelson
noted that the plans submitted say the porch is 15 ft. x 29 ft. Goellner showed the
Board a plan submitted by the Applicant showing a porch addition built within the
setback area. Baker noted that those plans are really a different design, and didn't just
propose a smaller porch.
Maxwell asked if the existing trees would remain. Kate Searls, Applicant, said the trees
would remain.
Nelson asked about the setback requirements regarding stairs. Goellner stated that
stairs can be located in a setback area.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
January 27, 2015
Page 4
Maxwell asked if the porch were re-oriented to meet the setback requirements, how
close it would be to the tree shown in the photos. Goellner said the tree wasn't shown
on the survey, so she is not sure. John Drucker, Architect for the proposal, stated that
the screened porch would be approximately 6 ft. from the tree. Maxwell asked how
close to the tree the proposed porch would be if a variance were granted for the porch
addition. Drucker said approximately 12 ft. Maxwell asked what kind of tree it is. Searls
said it is an oak tree. Drucker stated that rotating the proposed screened porch to meet
the setback requirements would place the porch closer to the tree, however that is not
the main reason for the way they are proposing the porch. He stated that the main
reason they would like to build the screened porch the way they've proposed is to
create a garden area, and to create a balanced gable with the other gables on the
house.
Nelson asked if the screened porch could be made smaller. Drucker stated that the
Applicant's want an eating area with a table and a sitting area in the porch so making it
smaller would compromise that. Searls added that they are a family of seven so they
want a space to gather. Drucker stated that the house will look better with the porch
built the way they are proposing it. He added that if they build the porch within the
setback area it will be more impactful and visible to the neighboring property.
Maxwell stated that the size and shape of the lot are unique, there are two front yard
setback areas, and the potential alternative might endanger an existing oak tree.
Drucker reiterated that a conforming structure won't fit in as well with the neighborhood
and that he doesn't think the oak tree will be in danger with either configuration. He
added that the property was platted in an odd shape and the buildable area is restricted
because of that.
Maxwell opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Maxwell closed the public hearing.
Orenstein stated that the orientation of the screened porch and the symmetry of the
design make sense and he has no objection to the proposed screened porch.
Baker said he understands the applicant's vision of a sitting area and an eating area in
the porch, but questioned if that vision is what is driving the need for a variance. He
said the Board is supposed to help solve a problem, not accommodate a vision. Perich
agreed and referred to the previous agenda item. He said in that case, the Applicant
had other options, in this case he doesn't think there are other options.
Maxwell said the Board is allowed to take into account the endangering of significant
trees. He said he is sympathetic because the Applicants have two front yards, but the
area in question is really more of a side yard than a front yard. Baker asked if the
tendency of the Board is to be more careful with front yards than with side yards.
Maxwell said yes.
Orenstein noted that the proposed screened porch will be consistent with the front
plane of the existing garage and that it won't be intrusive. Maxwell added that there is
49 ft. from the house to the street and that this property has 14 ft. of right-of-way.

MOVED by Orenstein, seconded by Perich and motion carried unanimously to approve
the variance request for 4.8 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30.2 ft. at its
closest point to the front yard (north) property line to allow for the construction of
screened porch.
III. Other Business
Nelson asked the Board if they would like Staff to make a recommendation for approval or
denial in their staff reports. The Board discussed whether or not they would like
recommendations made and the consensus was that they would like recommendations.
MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Orenstein and motion carried 4 to 1 to have staff provide
a recommendation when writing a staff report for variance requests. Perich voted no.

Stewards. Ms. Knapp described the intensive education that the program provides to the volunteers who train
to become Master Water Stewards(MWS). She talked about the community projects that the MWS lead and
the clean water education they provide to communities. She described the program as a program by neighbors
for neighbors and neighborhoods. Ms. Knapp described partnerships that that the program has with other
organizations such as the City of Edina and the Friends of Diamond Lake. She explained that the program is
fundraising for its initiative to develop metro-wide online curriculum,training, and continuing education for
MWS. Ms. Knapp said that the initiative will cost approximately $100,000. She reported that six watersheds
have already pledged funding toward the project and said that she hopes the BCWMC will consider
participating. Ms. Knapp also explained that it costs approximately$3,000 in staff time and resources to get
one MWS certified. She said that the program is developing ways that watersheds can sponsor the
certification of a MWS in their watershed.
Ms. Knapp responded to questions. Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann asked if there is collaboration
between the Master Water Stewards program and the Master Naturalists and commented that if not,there
could be opportunities there. There was brief discussion about how many homeowners have access to grants
for water quality improvement projects through watershed organizations. Administrator Jester noted the
BCWMC Education Committee would be considering Commission involvement in the MWS at an upcoming
meeting. Mr. Stack briefly commented on his good experience with the program.
B. Consider Draft Request for Proposals for Website Redesign
Administrator Jester reminded the Commission that it budgeted $12,000 for the website redesign in 2015. She
said that to start the project process the Commission needs to send out an RFP(Request for Proposals) for the
website redesign. Commissioners offered some suggestions for refining the RFP and recommendations on
firms to receive the RFP. There was discussion about site maintenance required into the future. Administrator
Jester asked if the Commission wants to create a new committee to work on the project or utilize an existing
committee. There was discussion. The Commission agreed to designate the Education Committee to work on
the project and to direct the Education Committee to bring a recommendation about the contractor to the
Commission. Administrator Jester said that the Education Committee will discuss this item at its February
meeting.
C. Discuss Template for Final Reports on CIP Projects
Administrator Jester reminded the Commission that the report provided last month by Eric Eckman was based
on a template she developed. She commented that Commissioner Welch had some suggestions for modifying
the template and asked if anyone had additional feedback. Alternate Commissioner Goddard requested more
detail on cost overruns. Alternate Commissioner Tobelmann asked for the report to link to relevant
documents, such as the 50%and 90%project plans. There was discussion about how"actual"pollutant

removal can be calculated; it was noted monitoring data isn't necessarily collected immediately after the
project and it may take years to see a difference in pollutant loads. The group noted it was important to
determine how the project was built in relation to the project design. The Commission agreed that
Administrator Jester would collect all input provided for modifying the template,revise the template, and
provide the template to the cities.
D. Discuss Process for Review of Letters of Interest Proposals
The Commission discussed possible methods for reviewing the proposals. Attorney LeFevere talked about the
Data Practices Act and the Open Meeting Law and their effect on how the Commission handles data such as
the letters of interest proposals. The Commission agreed that the TAC will review the letters of interest
proposals for engineering services at its February 2 meeting and the Administrator will add the files to the
Dropbox for TAC and Commission review or may send to only Commissioners as the proposals cannot be
included in a public meeting packet.
E. Receive Update on Schaper Pond Diversion Project
Administrator Jester announced that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA)recently
communicated its decision that the City of Golden Valley can take credit for this project as part of the
wasteload allocation for the Sweeney Lake TMDL. Engineer Chandler also noted that the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers decided this project falls under a maintenance category of a general permit. Mr. Oliver stated
that 90% plans should come to the Commission in February and project construction should being in April or
May.
F. Receive Update on Draft Watershed Management Plan
Administrator Jester reported that she has received comments from Commissioner Mueller, has heard that the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is working on its comments, and has heard that the
Metropolitan Council believes it will not have any significant comments on the Plan.
G. Potential of Conflict of Interest in Winnetka Avenue Project
Mr. Oliver described the project and its goal to reduce flooding at the DeCola ponds area. He showed a map
of the area, noting that 41 properties are at risk of flooding. He reported that there is an opportunity in this
project for the City of Golden Valley to construct additional flood storage. Mr. Oliver explained that Barr
Engineering has done the bulk of the project's Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies. He said the City of Golden Valley
is interested in having Barr Engineering do the design for the flood storage project because of its knowledge
and familiarity with the project. Mr. Oliver explained that there is a potential for conflict of interest due to a
possible circumstance where Barr Engineering would be reviewing its own design of the erosion and
sediment control plan on behalf of the BCWMC. He proposed that City staff design that portion of the project
and Barr Engineering reviews it on behalf of the BCWMC.
There was discussion of this proposal and of other ways that the design and review could be handled.
Alternate Commissioner Crough moved to approve that the City of Golden Valley design the erosion and
sediment control plan and Barr Engineering review the plan on behalf of the Commission. Commissioner
Hoschka seconded the motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 8-0 [City of Minnetonka absent from vote].

Intersection Improvement Project
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Seaburg, EIT, Engineer
Summary
The City has partnered with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and Hennepin
County to make improvements to the Winnetka Avenue (CSAH 156) and TH 55 Intersection (2015-
2019 CIP S-025, page 98). Currently, construction documents are being finalized and are going
through the approval process at MnDOT and Hennepin County. The project will be advertised for
bids in the coming months.
As part of the intersection improvement project, the traffic signal at TH 55 and Winnetka Avenue
is being fully replaced. MnDOT, Hennepin County, and the City will be sharing the costs of the
traffic signal replacement. Under normal public contracting practices, the Contractor is responsible
for furnishing all materials for the job. However, in this situation, the fabrication lead time for the
traffic signal mast arms and poles is several months. In an effort to keep the project on schedule,
staff recommends that the City purchase these materials prior to the project awarded to a
contractor.
Staff obtained competitive quotes from qualified suppliers for mast arms and poles for the new
traffic signal system. The following quotes were received:
Millerbernd Manufacturing Co. $42,272.00
Mlazgar Associates $63,633.00
Adequate funding for the materials is available within the project budget, as the cost was originally
budgeted as a construction expense.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve purchase of traffic signal materials from Millerbernd Manufacturing Company in
the amount of$42,272 for the TH 55/Winnetka Avenue Intersection Improvement Project.

Exhibit A
Prairie Restoration Management Strategies
Native landscape management techniques can be divided into five different
categories; monitoring, controlled burning, dormant mows, Integrated Plant
Management (IPM), and woody vegetation control. Each of these techniques
plays a key role in the development and success of a native landscape. Below is
a description of each tool and the reasons they are used.
Effective management of a restored area is achieved through a variety of
management practices. A complete understanding of the various plants' life
cycles and growth characteristics is necessary for the proper management
decisions to be made. Prairie Restoration's land managers use their
experience and knowledge to make these decisions for the betterment and
health of the landscapes they care for.
Monitoring
Monitoring is checking the progress of the planting regularly. The goal is to see
what weeds may be coming in that need to be addressed, but also to see how the
native plants are growing. Monitoring is perhaps the most important technique
land managers use. It allows the manager to make the determination of what
other techniques will best benefit the planting. Native plantings change, not only
from year to year, but from week to week and month to month. Therefore, it is
important to make regular trips through the planting. It is also important to monitor
the entire planting, as microenvironments found throughout will grow different
species of native plants and weeds. Monitoring is something that can, and should,
be done by the City, as well as by the land manager. Prairie Restoration will
provide information in the form of a basic field guide, if needed.
Controlled Burns
Prairies are fire-dependent communities, making controlled burning a very
important management tool. Historically, prairie fires would burn periodically.
Today, Prairie Restoration's experienced burn crews seek to replicate the
process using proper tools and techniques. Burning is typically done every
three to four years, beginning once adequate fuel is present. Each site is
unique, and the land manager will discuss with you when and why a burn would
be a good option.
Timing and intensity of burns are very important for controlling various weedy
species and promoting the native ones. Spring burns tend to favor the grass
species, while fall burns may enhance the flower component. The majority of
burns are conducted in the spring, usually during the months of April and May,
though some may occur later, depending on the needs of the site. Benefits of
A-1
spring burns include: the alleviation of the accumulation of biomass, a reduction
in exotic cool season species, control of woody plants, and the stimulation of
earlier growth of native warm season species. Fall burns are also very effective
in accomplishing many of these goals. They normally occur in October and
November. One negative to fall burning is the loss of winter cover for wildlife
species. Fall burns may also be harder to schedule due to wet Minnesota fall
weather conditions.
Burns should only be conducted by trained crews. Many of the controlled burns
conducted today are on a much smaller scale, and in a suburban setting. This
creates many challenges for the crews. Smoke is typically the biggest concern.
Burns must be conducted with proper wind conditions so smoke does not blow
onto busy roadways, or towards buildings. The presence of trees and shrubs in
or near the planting must also be taken into account. Before conducting a
controlled burn, proper permits must be obtained from the Department of Natural
Resources and local authorities. Neighboring residents and businesses will also
be notified.
Dormant Mows
Dormant mows are an alternative to fire, and are frequently done in years when a
controlled burn is not scheduled. Dormant mows are conducted when the prairie
plants are dormant (not actively growing), as the name suggests. They occur in
early spring or late fall, and benefit the prairie by dispersing grass and flower
seed and speeding up the breakdown of biomass. Dormant mows also give the
prairie a clean look to start or end the season. One consideration when
scheduling a dormant mow is soil moisture. Any soil disturbance will promote the
growth of weeds, so mows should only be done when the ground is firm enough
for the equipment being used. Larger sites are mowed with a tractor and flail
mower. Smaller sites may be mowed using weed-whips.
Integrated Plant Management (IPM)
Integrated Plant Management (IPM) is a combination of many hands-on
management techniques used during the growing season. The goal of IPM is to
remove unwanted species from the prairie. The method of control varies by
species and density of the weeds. If desired, Prairie Restorations' trained land
management crews will visit the site periodically during the growing season to
conduct various IPM tasks, as needed on a site-by-site basis.
A-2
Chemical Control
• Spot Spraying
For perennial weedy species, spot spraying is the primary method of control.
Selective spot spraying targets individual plants using backpack sprayers.
Because of the accuracy, it is possible to kill weeds intermixed with prairie plants
without harming the native forbs and grasses. Chemicals used for spot spraying
are "species specific," meaning different chemicals are used for the control of
different weedy species. In order to minimize negative impact on a site, the
minimum effective rate of the chemicals is used. Weather conditions are always
taken into account before applying chemicals to a site. It is not only rain that
causes concern. Heat may cause some chemicals to become less effective as
the plants shut down to preserve energy. Prairie Restorations Inc.'s crew
members are certified pesticide applicators and have been taught the proper
techniques for handling and applying the chemicals used. It is not recommended
that the homeowner apply chemicals to the site.
• Wicking
Wicking is another way to apply chemical. Using sponge-like devices, crew
members are able to wipe chemicals onto individual or small colonies of weeds.
This may be done using small hand-wicks, or larger "hockey-stick-wicks."
Wicking is very precise, but may take more time than spot spraying.
• Timed Oversprays
Timed oversprays are necessary when a large area of the planting contains
unwanted perennial plants. The timing is critical. Typically, oversprays are
conducted in the early spring or late fall, when native, warm-season plants are
dormant. Luckily, many weedy species, such as reed canary grass, are cool-
season plants. This means they become active earlier in the spring and remain
active later in the fall. Most often, the timed oversprays are conducted using a
truck or a tractor with a mounted boom sprayer. If the area is small enough, or
there is not adequate vehicle access, it may be done with backpack sprayers.
Glyphosate is the preferred chemical, as it is non-selective and good at
controlling most broadleaf and grass species. In the spring following an
overspray, areas that were sprayed become obvious until the native species
start filling them in.
Mechanical Control
• Spot Mowing
Spot mowing is typically done with weed-whips. Crew members cut down
individual plants, or smaller colonies. While chemicals will kill annual and biennial
A-3
weeds, spot mowing is often the preferred tool. Unlike perennial weeds, in which
each plant will grow and flower year after year, annuals and biennials only have a
one or two year growing cycle. They flower, produce seed, and die. The weeds
persist by producing large amounts of seed that germinate and flower quickly,
thereby producing more seed. Due to this growth pattern, mowing at, or just prior
to, the flowering stage is an effective method of control by stopping the seed
production. Spot mowing may also be used to stop perennials from spreading
seed. However, spot mowing is not enough to kill perennial weedy species. It will
delay the spread, but eventually another control method, such as spot spraying
or controlled burning, will be required.
Complete Site Mows
Complete site mows are most often done on newly seeded projects. In the first
growing season, three to four complete mows may be necessary. The main
purpose of a complete site mowing is to prevent weeds from producing a closed
canopy and blocking out the light from the native seedlings. Plants are usually
allowed to grow to 12-18" in height before being mowed. Flail mowers are used
because they can be easily adjusted to different mowing heights. Typically, a
height of 6-8" is desired. If the vegetation is cut too short, it exposes the young
prairie plants to extreme heat and drying conditions and may inhibit growth.
• Hand weeding and chopping
Hand weeding and chopping will be completed by Prairie Restorations when
needed.

3. H. Resolution Requesting Variance from Standards for State Aid Operations for Olson Memorial
Frontage Road.
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Seaburg, EIT, Engineer
Summary
Douglas Drive (CSAH 102) is scheduled for reconstruction by the City and Hennepin County in
2016 and 2017 (2015-2019 Capital Improvement, DD-001, page 102). As part of the
reconstruction project, Olson Memorial Frontage Road, which lies just north of TH 55, will need
to be partially reconstructed at its intersection with Douglas Drive, This portion of Olson
Memorial Frontage Road was originally built by MnDOT to act as a frontage road to TH 55 and
was subsequently turned back to the City. It now serves as a Municipal State Aid Street
(referenced on the attached location maps).
There is a horizontal curve located on Olson Memorial Frontage Road, just east of Douglas Drive
that does not meet the 30 mph State Aid standards. Instead, the roadway meets 25 mph design
standards. Because a portion of Olson Memorial Frontage Road is being partially reconstructed
with the Douglas Drive project, it must be constructed to current State Aid design standards. In
this case, a change in the horizontal curvature would significantly impact adjacent property
owners and would also lead to a significant change in project scope.
Due to the challenges and infeasibility associated with meeting the State Aid design standard,
staff recommends applying for a variance from Standards for State Aid Operations 8820.9936.
Approval of this variance will allow the City to proceed with reconstruction of the Olson
Memorial Frontage Road in its current alignment.

CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees,
Boards and Councils
INTRODUCTION:
The City Council wishes to express its appreciation to the many citizens who take time
away from their personal and professional lives to serve the community through their
membership on the Council's advisory groups. Golden Valley has had a history of
extensive citizen involvement. At present approximately 60 advisory commission, board,
and committee members participate in providing specialized expertise so that Council
decisions can be made with more complete background and knowledge than would
otherwise be possible. The Council and the entire community benefit from this invaluable
service.
Golden Valley is a statutory city. The legislature established it as a city in the early 1970's.
The State Statutes provide: "In any such city, there shall be...no administrative board or
commission...the Council shall itself perform the duties and exercise the powers and shall
govern and administer the functions for which no independent boards are authorized by
statute. The Council, may, however, create boards or commissions to advise the Council
with respect to any municipal function or activity or to investigate any subject of interest in
the City." This Council, and others before it, recognizes the many advantages to be gained
from this approach.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to the Council's advisory commissions.
The Council is directly responsible for the actions of its advisory commissions. It is hoped
that through these guidelines the expectations of the Council, with respect to its advisory
commissions will be clearly understood and followed. The Mayor and Council Members
welcome any request for discussion or clarification of information that is contained or
thought appropriate to be contained in these guidelines. The goals of the Council are better
communication with its advisory commissions and better service to the citizens of Golden
Valley.
CURRENT GOLDEN VALLEY STANDING COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS:
The Golden Valley City Council currently has five standing advisory commissions. They
are:
Environmental Commission
Human Rights Commission
Open Space and Recreation Commission
Planning Commission
Teen Committee
There is one advisory foundation: Golden Valley Human Services Fund.
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils
Page 2
The Civil Service Commission is an independent commission that has absolute control and
supervision over the employment, promotion, discharge, and suspension of police officers
of the Police Department, as stipulated under State Statutes.
The Board of Zoning Appeals hears requests for variances from the City Zoning Code and
makes final determination on all requests unless such requests are denied and appealed to
the City Council as stipulated under State Statutes.
Short term advisory committees are appointed as needed.
These Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils apply to
each of these groups as appropriate and as permitted by the laws and ordinances which
establish them.
I. LEGAL BASIS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
As stated above the State Statutes govern the creation of Council advisory groups. These
groups are authorized to exercise all duties which the Council has legally assigned to them.
They are frequently authorized to conduct research and make recommendations. It should
be remembered, however, that advisory commissions may not make decisions on behalf of
the Council. In many cities, it is routine practice for the Council to accept an advisory
commission recommendation if the commission has done a thorough and competent job. It
must be emphasized, however, that it is the Council's final decision on the matter and not
simply the commission recommendation which is effective to bind the municipality. No
recommendation of any advisory commission takes effect unless it has been adopted by
formal action of the Council. These advisory commissions may be organized in any manner
deemed appropriate by the Council. The City Council may create and dissolve them,
appoint persons to serve on them, and exercise powers of general supervision over them.
A Planning Commission, however, must be established by ordinance and, once established
may be dissolved only by an ordinance, which passes, by 2/3 majority vote of the Council.
II. OPEN MEETING LAW
All meetings of all public bodies in Golden Valley must be open to the public. There can be
no such thing as a "closed", "private", or "executive" meeting or session. The only
exceptions that have been recognized in the past are certain disciplinary actions conducted
by the Police Civil Service Commission and some personnel and legal matters before the
Council.
The Minnesota Statute requiring City Council meetings to be open to the public has been in
existence for many years. A 1973 amendment and court decisions and rulings by the
Minnesota Attorney General have made commissions, subcommittees, and other public
bodies subject to the statute. Any person violating the open meeting requirement is subject
to civil penalty.
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils
Page 3
Commissions and committees should be careful to observe the requirements of holding all
meetings in public places and posting notices of meeting dates and times at the City Hall.
Scheduling of meetings with the Manager's Office will help prevent conflict with other
groups over meeting times when public participation is particularly desired. Commission,
board, and committee meetings will not be held on designated legal holidays or recognized
religious holidays.
Any questions regarding the meaning or application of the Open Meeting Law should be
directed to the City Council. The Council will seek such advice from the City Attorney as
may be necessary.
III. COMMISSION ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES
A. Term of Office: Appointments to commissions are made effective May 1 of each year.
The length of each appointment is provided in the governing ordinance or resolution and
is designated by the Council at the time of the appointment. Each permanent advisory
commission should elect officers not later than its second meeting after May 1 in each
year. The term of office should be one year, unless otherwise specified by the Council,
prior to each election. (Chairpersons of special committees may be appointed by the
Council.)
Voluntary resignations from a commission should be communicated by letter or email
from the person resigning to the Mayor.
Chair and Vice-Chair. The Chair and Vice-Chair shall be elected from the Commission
membership by its members at its regular Annual Meeting. Terms of office may be for
two years and shall rotate. The Chair and Vice-Chair shall not serve consecutive terms.
B. Attendance: Absences in one year should not exceed three consecutive meetings or
more than 25 percent of the total meetings for the year. (25 percent of meetings would
be three meetings for groups meeting once a month and six meetings for groups
meeting twice a month.) If a member is unable to attend a meeting, that member should
contact the staff liaison, who will inform the chair if a quorum cannot be attained and the
meeting will be cancelled.
A standardized letter of warning will be sent from the respective chair to any member
after two consecutive and two total for groups meeting once a month. For those meeting
twice a month the letter would be sent from the chair after two consecutive or five total
absences. If a member exceeds the allowable number of absences the Mayor will send
a standardized letter stating the member must step down because of the importance of
regular attendance and the number of citizens interested in serving. If a Commission
feels there are extenuating circumstances in a case of a member who has not met the
attendance requirements, the Commission may send a letter to the Council explaining
the situation and request an exception.
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils
Page 4
C. By-Laws or Rules of Procedure: Each commission shall propose By-Laws or Rules of
Procedure governing its work. Such proposed By-Laws or Rules of Procedure should be
submitted to the Council for review and approval prior to implementation.
D. Orientation: It shall be the responsibility of the staff liaison to provide to each new
member as soon as possible after that member's appointment, copies of the enabling
ordinance for the board or commission and its current By-Laws or Rules of Procedure,
minutes of meetings of the last one year, these Guidelines, and any other information
necessary to orient of new members. (Note: Council Members who are liaison to a
Commission will meet with the Chairperson and new members as part of the
orientation.)
E. Acting as a private citizen: A commission member testifying before the Council as a
private citizen should clearly note before testimony that he/she is testifying as a private
citizen.
F Expenditures: Each Commission is authorized to incur those specific expenditures
included in its final budget, as adopted by the Council. Any other expenditures require
specific Council approval prior to the time the obligation is incurred. Council approval is
necessary prior to solicitation of funding from outside sources for any purpose.
G Minutes: A person will be provided by the City to take minutes for the advisory boards
and commissions. All such minutes are matters of public record and shall be kept at the
City Hall. The unapproved minutes will be circulated to the City Council in a timely
manner to allow the Council to be informed on recent actions. The Council will receive
and file approved minutes at the next regular Council Meeting following the approval of
the minutes by the respective board or commission.
Minutes serve the dual function of making an historical record of commission
proceedings and of informing the Council regarding the commission's activities. The
minutes should, therefore, contain an accurate report of the sequence of events and
names of citizens who appear and are heard. In addition to the formal action of the
commission, a summary of the reasoning underlying such action should be included in
the minutes.
H. Staff Liaison: The Council has adopted a policy of providing a staff liaison for each
commission. The purpose of this policy is to provide direct information to each
commission regarding City policy and practices within its area of interest.
The City operates under the "Plan B City Manager" form of government, in which all
employees are hired and supervised by the City Manager, who in turn is responsible to
the Council. Neither the Council nor any commission member has the authority to direct
staff personnel. Any commission recommendations for modification of City policy and
practices should be directed to the Council. The liaison will periodically inform the Chair
on the members' attendance, particularly when warnings must be sent as provided in
Section 111.6, and copy to the City Manager to forward to the City Council.
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils
Page 5
I. Council Liaison(s): Each year, at its organizational meeting, the Council shall assign
one or more liaison to each Board or Commission. The Council Liaison(s) will meet at
least annually with the Board or Commission to which he or she is assigned. These
meetings can serve as an informal means for the exchange of information between the
Council and the Board or Commission, but all formal communication shall follow
procedures as outlined in Section IV,
J. Subcommittees: From time to time, the Council may appoint subcommittees of certain
commissions in order that special attention be concentrated in specified areas. At the
same time, the Council also wants the opinion of the commission regarding each
subcommittee's recommendations.
Each subcommittee should submit any report or recommendations intended for the
Council, first to the Commission for review and comment. Such review and comment
should take place at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Commission. If it does
not, the report or recommendation of the subcommittee shall be forwarded to the
Council without Commission consent.
The subcommittee report or recommendation, together with the commission's
comments, should be submitted to the Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
As in the case of commission presentations, a spokesperson for the subcommittee
should attend the Council meeting and be prepared to make a presentation and answer
questions.
The Commission is free to appoint subcommittees of their membership as the
commission sees a need.
IV. COMMUNICATIONS TO AND FROM COMMISSIONS
A. Council Requests to Commissions: From time to time, the Council will refer items to
commissions for recommendation. The purpose of such a referral is to assist the
Council in gathering all pertinent facts and sharpening the issues. The request will be
referred to the commission in writing by the Mayor.
The Council would request a written report from each commission with regard to each
such referral. The report should set forth all the pertinent facts and detailed
recommendations from the commission. The report should be submitted to the Council
Administrative Assistant the Wednesday before the Council meeting so that it may be
included in the agenda.
Any time a commission report comes before the Council, one representative of the
commission should be present to make a presentation and answer questions. In the
event there is a difference of opinion on the commission, a minority report may be
presented in the same manner.
Guidelines for Advisory Commissions, Committees, Boards and Councils
Page 6
B. Commission Requests to Council: Any commission request or recommendation for
Council action or legal opinion should be communicated by letter from the chairperson
to the Mayor, giving a full explanation of the background of the matter. Along with the
letter, the commission should submit or refer to the pertinent portion of its minutes on
the subject.
The letter to the Mayor should be delivered to the Council Administrative Assistant on
the Wednesday before the Council meeting. A presentation for the commission should
be made by a representative from the commission. A minority report may also be
presented.
C. Communications with those other than the City Council: Based upon past
experience, the Council believes that there is some potential for misunderstanding
regarding communications with persons and governmental units or agencies other than
the City Council of Golden Valley. It is essential that members of commissions
understand and observe appropriate policies and practices in this regard.
The essential principle involved is that the Council alone has the responsibility and
authority to adopt the decisions, policies, and recommendations of the City of Golden
Valley. The Council values the opinions and advice of its commissions and invites the
communication of the same to the Council. The Council will take such opinions and
advice into account in formulating the City's official position.
This method of proceeding does not preclude a commission from gathering such
information as may be pertinent to its activities. Commissions are free, without prior
Council approval, to make inquiries and to give necessary background for such
inquiries, but careful consideration must be given that these communications cannot be
reasonably construed as statements of official City policy and opinion.
The matter of distribution of information to the public is one that is not capable of
specific rules of practice. In general, any such communication which purports to, or has
the effect of communicating an official City position or decision, should be submitted to
the Council for prior approval. Other types of communications, which are purely
informational and do not involve unresolved questions of City policy, may be
disseminated without prior Council approval.

4. A. Public Hearing- Final 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 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Permit to create three
single family lots at 1801 Noble Drive with access via a shared private 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.
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.
As the only lot 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.
The City Council approved the Preliminary PUD Plan (4-1) at their meeting on December 2, 2014.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Final PUD Plan (7-0) at their meeting on
February 9, 2015.
Modifications from Preliminary PUD Plans
A few minor changes were made between the Preliminary and the Final PUD Plans:
1. In response to concerns from the Fire Department, the width of the shared private driveway
was increased from 16 to 18 feet.
2. Also in response to comments from the Fire Department, the diameter of the cul-de-sac was
increased to 70 feet.
3. Based on the preliminary wetland delineation, the proposed location for the home on Lot 3 was
shifted slightly to the west. In response, the cul-de-sac was also shifted slightly to west and the
infiltration basin relocated to the back of Lot 3. This change also addresses an expressed
concern regarding the co-location of the infiltration basin with the snow storage area.
At the Planning Commission meeting on February 9, there was debate over the recommended
width of the wetland buffer to be established on the property. The PUD requirements call for a
width of 25 feet. The City's Stormwater Management Ordinance currently recommends 10 feet but
allows for modifications based on site conditions. Engineering staff recommended a 10 foot buffer
based on the distance of the wetland edge from Sweeney Lake and for consistency with the buffers
recently approved as part of subdivisions to the north and south of the subject property.
Findings and Conditions
City Code establishes standards for PUDs, which are laid out in the Staff report to the Planning
Commission. In addition, City Code establishes findings that must be made by the City when
creating a PUD. The Council makes the following findings pursuant to City Code Section 11.55,
Subd. 6(Q):
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.
Staff recommends approval of the Final PUD Plan subject to the following conditions:
1. The plans prepared by Civil Site Group, received January 9, 2015, 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 February 2, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering Division
to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated February 5, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
4. The riparian buffer strip along the delineated wetland shall be that width which is required by
City Code.
5. No additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed along the private driveway without a
PUD Amendment.
6. A park dedication fee of$13,920, or 2% of the land value with credit for one unit, shall be
paid before release of the Final Plat.
7. The Final Plat shall include "P.U.D. No. 120" in its title.
8. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

Narrative of the Lecy Group's proposed PUD: This is the proposal to
develop the property at 1801 Noble Drive into three single-family lots. (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
for 32 years and has built over 800 houses in the metro area. More than 90
of the houses have been built on iakeshore 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 that 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 option 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 vehicle turnaround. We will install public
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 surface,
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 place 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 two
homes and two 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 two
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 lake. Lot 3, of the
subdivision, will install a private storm water filtration pond, to filter storm
water before it enters 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 two 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
configuration of the land and the circumstances are unusual. We can't
image other developable land, within the City of Golden Valley, 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 lot 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: Informal Public Hearing– Final 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 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Permit to create three
single family lots at 1801 Noble Drive with access via a shared private 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.
The City Council approved the Preliminary PUD Plan at their meeting on December 2, 2014.
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 lot 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 Map
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 has
found them to be acceptable as shown.
After the installation of utilities, a new private 18 foot wide shared driveway would be
constructed within the 20 foot width 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
70 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 just north of Lot 1, adjacent to the cul-de-sac. The
shared driveway, the cul-de-sac, and the snow storage area would be designated Outlot A and
would be owned collectively by the Homeowner's Association.
2
Based on projected building footprints and driveway locations for the three proposed homes, the
Applicant has calculated that the amount of impervious surface will be slightly greater than the
amount that existed under the previous single lot configuration with a large home and circular
driveway (0.62 acres vs. 0.44 acres). A stormwater filtration pond is proposed for Lot 3 to manage
runoff from the new development. 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. In addition,
existing wetlands on the site will be protected through a required buffer and dedicated as part of
a conservation easement.
The Applicant is proposing a 10 foot wide buffer along Sweeney Lake and the delineated wetland.
The City's PUD requirements call for a buffer strip of at least 25 feet in width along wetlands and
ponds, composed of natural vegetation. Staff recommends an increase in the wetland buffer
width to meet the zoning requirements.
As a result of the Preliminary PUD process, the City is prohibiting any additional driveway or
utility access without a future PUD amendment.
Modifications from Preliminary PUD Plans
A few minor changes were made between the Preliminary and the Final PUD Plans:
1. In response to concerns from the Fire Department, the width of the shared private driveway
was increased from 16 to 18 feet.
2. Also in response to comments from the Fire Department,the diameter of the cul-de-sac was
increased to 70 feet.
3. Based on the preliminary wetland delineation, the proposed location for the home on Lot 3 was
shifted slightly to the west. In response, the cul-de-sac was also shifted slightly to west and the
infiltration basin relocated to the back of Lot 3. This change also addresses an expressed
concern regarding the co-location of the infiltration basin with the snow storage area.
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:

As part of the Preliminary PUD Plan approval, the City determined that an 18' wide private drive
was sufficient to provide access to the three proposed single family homes.
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:
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
of a single-family district
Preservation —wetlands and Minimum 25' riparian buffer 10' along the wetland
ponds strip of natural vegetation
Private streets Not allowed without waiver Waiver approved as part of
granted by City the Preliminary PUD Plan
Maximum hard cover percent 38% 17.7% estimated
—single family use
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
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 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
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 Final 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 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
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.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Final PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods PUD No. 120, subject
to the following conditions:
1. The plans prepared by Civil Site Group, received January 9, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering Division
to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated February 5, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
3. The riparian buffer strip along the delineated wetland shall be expanded to a minimum width
of 25 feet.
4. No additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed along the private driveway.
5
5. A park dedication fee of$13,920, or 2%of the land value with credit for one unit, shall be
paid before release of the Final Plat.
6. The Final Plat shall include "P.U.D. No. 120" in its title.
7. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Final PUD Plan — Sweeney Lake Woods — 1801
Noble Drive — PU-120
Applicant: The Lecy Group
Addresses: 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 stated that the Applicant is seeking approval of a PUD to create three single
family lots with access via a shared driveway. He explained that the project consists of
two parcels, a vacant lot 3.27 acres in size, and a 20-foot wide parcel containing a
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 how the Final PUD plans differ from the Preliminary PUD plans
including: the expanded width of the shared private driveway from 16' to 18', the
increased diameter of the cul-de-sac from 60' to 70', and relocating the stormwater
filtration basin to the rear of Lot 3 which addresses concerns about co-location with the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

snow storage area. He discussed how this proposed PUD compares with the underlying
zoning district and explained that an outlot will contain the driveway, the cul-de-sac and
the snow storage area.
Zimmerman referred to the utility plans and explained that typically 10 feet of separation
between water and sanitary sewer is required. However, the limited width of the driveway
parcel and the presence of an existing sanitary sewer line makes that impossible. He
stated that the Applicant has received special exceptions regarding construction techniques
which will allow the utilities to be installed legally.
Zimmerman referred to a plan showing the wetland buffer area and stated that the PUD
standards adopted in 2004 require a 25-foot buffer around wetlands. However, the
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission now recommends a more fine-
grained approach based on the type and condition of wetland being buffered. In this
case, a 10-foot buffer is the recommendation.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and reminded the Commission that at their review of
the Preliminary PUD Plan the condition of limiting utilities and further access to the
shared driveway was adopted. However, the recently subdivided properties to the east
will result in a long utility line and a long driveway running roughly parallel with the
existing shared driveway which is not ideal. One option, if the parties agree, is to allow
access to the shared driveway in order to have a shorter and less redundant driveway
system. Currently, the only way access would be allowed to the shared driveway is
through a PUD Amendment. He added that allowing future access from the cul-de-sac to
the parcel to the west would be prohibited because the current PUD has the restriction of
not allowing any further access to the shared driveway. He stated that he is
recommending that the condition regarding access to the private driveway be amended
to state that no additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed without a PUD
amendment.
Segelbaum asked if there is a third property that also accesses the existing shared
driveway. Zimmerman said yes, the property at 1807 Noble Drive accesses the shared
driveway, however, it also has frontage on Noble Drive that could be used for a driveway.
Segelbaum asked if the language regarding additional access to the driveway should state
that what is being proposed in this PUD plan would be permitted, but anything proposed
after this PUD would not. Zimmerman stated that all of the conditions will be spelled out in
the PUD Permit.
Cera asked if the Applicant has had any discussions with the owner of Lot 2 (the recently
subdivided property to the east) regarding his driveway accessing the existing private
driveway. Zimmerman said he is not sure if discussions have occurred between the
property owners, but Mr. Lecy has expressed interest in exploring the possibilities. He
added that the City would like to see consolidation of the driveways and utilities or
additional width added to the private driveway.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015

Baker noted that the City Council voted 4 to 1 to approve the Preliminary Plan for this
proposal and asked for information on the dissenting vote. Zimmerman said there was
concern about three homes being in an area where the access was somewhat restricted.
Blum said he is concerned about access for the landlocked parcel to west. Zimmerman
stated that the area he was referring to for future access to the west is slightly south of the
landlocked parcel. He added that if access were granted for the property to the west, the
snow storage area would have to be relocated.
Waldhauser asked if the new landowner to the east agreed to give some of their land in
order to widen the driveway, how close that would come to making the driveway a street.
Zimmerman said he thinks the potential is there, if the parties want to work together.
Baker asked Zimmerman to review what led to the City Engineer to propose a reduction in
the wetland buffer. Zimmerman stated that the City Engineer and the Bassett Creek
Watershed Management Commission are recommending a 10-foot buffer and that
Planning Staff is deferring to their recommendation. He reiterated that it is the PUD
ordinance that differs from the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission's
standards. He added that there is some latitude in this case regarding the size of the
wetland buffer. Baker asked if the buffer area shown in the Preliminary PUD plans was 25
feet. Zimmerman stated that the original plans showed a 25-foot buffer before they went to
the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission for review. Waldhauser said she
would guess that the 25-foot buffer requirement in the PUD ordinance was probably meant
for a higher density project, since that is typically when PUDs are used.
Roy Lecy, Applicant, said he has never heard of requiring an additional 15 feet of wetland
buffer. He said his plans have always shown a 10-foot buffer and he doesn't feel he should
be held to a higher standard than any other proposal. He referred to the discussion
regarding the owner of the property to the east accessing the private driveway and said he
thinks it makes sense, but he would like to keep the process simple. Kluchka said this is a
complicated PUD and he thinks it would be appropriate to go through the PUD amendment
process.
Segelbaum asked Lecy if he would build the driveway and utilities differently if he knew the
property to the east might access it. Lecy said no, but he would make provisions for the
trees.
Blum asked Lecy what the hardship would be if the wetland buffer was 25 feet. Lecy said
the soil conditions really deteriorate past where the buffer is located. He said he may need
the 15 feet for the construction of the house because it is as close to the cul-de-sac as it
can be. He added that it could also affect the grading of the properties.
Waldhauser asked if the infiltration basin is intended to drain all three of the proposed lots.
Lecy said no, it is for a portion of Lot 2 and all of Lot 3. Lot 1 will have natural filtration
where it always has. He stated that the proposed 10-foot wetland buffer will increase the
water quality over what is there now.

Kluchka opened the public hearing.
Jeff Haines, 1550 St. Croix Circle, requested that the original driveway and access
easement across Lot 1 be left as an easement and not incorporated in an outlot with the
driveway, cul-de-sac and snow storage area.
Zimmerman said he understands Mr. Haines's concern about future access to his property,
but he doesn't think anything will be allowed to be built in the proposed outlot, just like in an
easement, but that he would confirm that with the City Engineer and the City Attorney.
Cera asked if Mr. Haines and the Applicant have talked about allowing future access.
Zimmerman stated that the future homeowner's association would need to be involved in
discussions as well especially when there is potential for broader development in the
future. He added that the City would not have the authority to require an access point to the
west. Cera asked if the land to west is subdividable. Zimmerman said yes, there are three
parcels that could be replatted a number of ways. Cera stated that the private driveway
could potentially have several more homes accessing it. Zimmerman agreed and stated
that the PUD Permit would need to be amended for any changes to the driveway access.
Christopher Gise, 1485 Island Drive, said he is confused because it has been said that the
proposed 10-foot wetland buffer is consistent with Hidden Lakes, but the shoreland buffer
on his property is 50 feet. He asked if this proposed PUD plan defines the building pads or
the building envelope area because Hidden Lakes properties had defined building pads. He
asked if anything goes as long as they are not in the buffer area.
Seeing and hearing no one else wising to comment, Kluchka closed the public hearing.
Kluchka asked if the proposal defines the building footprint or a buildable area. Zimmerman
said in this case, the plans define the building envelope because the homes will custom fit
to each lot. Kluchka asked if that is right for this development, and if it is consistent with
what is across the lake. Zimmerman said these are generous sized lots and having a
building envelope allows some flexibility in where the homes can be built.
Kluchka asked the Commissioners if they have thoughts about Mr. Haines' request for the
access easement. Cera said they might want to have a wider street to handle more traffic if
and when development occurs to the west. He said it would be nice if discussion could
occur between Mr. Lecy, Mr. Haines and the new property owner of Lot 2 to the east before
this proposal goes to City Council, so that the street can be built appropriately now, rather
than being made wider in the future. Kluchka suggested leaving the easement out of this
recommendation. Cera said he would not put the easement in the proposal now, but wait
until the PUD needs to be amended. Baker agreed. He added that there is an opportunity
now with new property owners and he's hearing about the likely potential of future access
to this road so he thinks the Commission needs to seriously consider requiring a public
street.
Blum asked if the road is being designed to handle the weight of a large fire truck.
Zimmerman said yes, it is required that a street be able to handle the weight of the largest

truck needed. Blum asked if that is one of the things the City considers when differentiating
between a public or private street. Zimmerman said that is one concern along with
ownership and long-term maintenance. Blum asked if private streets aren't being
maintained or kept safe, if the City can do the maintenance and assess the property owner.
Zimmerman said he assumes the City can require maintenance to be done or assess the
property owner. He added that maintenance agreements will also be required as part of the
Development Agreement process.
Baker asked to what extent the City is compromising the normal standards of utility
construction with the proposed design. Zimmerman explained that the typical requirement
is 10 feet of separation between the sewer and water lines. He stated that the Applicant is
proposing an alternate design that is approved by the Department of Health. Kluchka
added that the intent from the engineering perspective was to use a different construction
method that would ensure the safety of the utilities. Baker said he is trying to put the entire
project into context of where the City is giving and taking.
Segelbaum questioned if the proposed utilities are sufficient to support potential future
development because he doesn't think that will be an easy thing to change. He
encouraged the neighbors to get together and discuss future development and access.
He said he would support changing condition #4 to state that no additional driveway or
utility access shall be allowed along the private driveway without a PUD Amendment.
Baker said he is anticipating future problems with access issues.
Blum asked about trends in street widths. Zimmerman said 24 to 26 feet is typical but
when possible, narrower streets are built.
Kluchka asked the Commissioners their thoughts about the wetland buffer issue.
Segelbaum said he thinks they need clarification about the standards for wetland buffers
before this proposal goes to the City Council. Baker said that the standards are changing
as they speak. He said there is recognition of the importance of buffers in protecting water
quality and he would argue strongly for not accepting a 10-foot, or a 25-foot buffer. Blum
agreed and said there may be some flexibility on the northeast lot, but he doesn't see a
reason to deviate from the 25-foot standard in the PUD requirements. Kluchka questioned
if the City is getting enough out of this PUD to deviate from the standards. Segelbaum
said he thinks they should stick with the standards. Baker said he would like to know why
there is a 50-foot buffer across the lake and said anything they can do to help this
impaired lake they should do.
Cera referred to the lots recently subdivided to the north and asked what the wetland
buffer was in that proposal. Zimmerman said because that was a subdivision and not a
PUD, that wetland buffer is 10 feet. He added that the lots recently subdivided to the
south also have a 10-foot buffer. Kluchka reiterated that PUDs are usually done for more
intense development so that may be why the buffer standards differ. Baker said he wants
to emphasize that standards are changing now. Cera said he doesn't disagree with
having a larger buffer he just wants to remain consistent with what's been approved in
past few years. Waldhauser said this application has been under consideration for a long
time. The City has been favorable to having this area redevelop and it has been a

struggle to get to this point for a lot of people. She said she thinks the 10-foot buffer is the
standard that is in place now. She said this project happens to be a PUD because it is
complicated, not because it's on Sweeney Lake or because it has wetland considerations.
She said the fact that the standards may or may not be changing shouldn't be an obstacle
placed in front of this developer and she believes the standard that applies in this case is
the 10-foot buffer. Segelbaum said he doesn't know which standard should be applied.
Kluchka said the underlying zoning standard is 10 feet. Segelbaum said the PUD
standard is 25 feet and he doesn't know if they can deviate from that. Johnson said when
the proposal was submitted it was deemed acceptable. He questioned if the Commission
is discussing the difference between 10 and 25 feet, or if they are discussing that the very
act of building three houses is decreasing the water quality. He added that there was a
house on this property previously that also impacted the water quality. Kluchka said the
focus for him is if the City is getting enough value from this proposal. He reiterated that
this is only a PUD because of the private street and the lack of frontage. Baker said he is
dwelling on the buffer. He said it used to be okay to fill in wetlands and just because there
was a standard at the time doesn't mean that standard should be kept. He said he would
push for a larger wetland buffer on any project they are reviewing. Kluchka noted that a
larger buffer was not discussed on the recently subdivided property to the east.
Cera asked if they could recommend that the affected landowners speak to each other
before this proposal goes to City Council so that the future driveway access issues could
be addressed now and not have to come back for an amendment. Baker said he would
also like the owner of Lot 2 to consider widening the driveway parcel.
Segelbaum said he is concerned about the condition regarding additional access to the
driveway through the Minor PUD Amendment process. Zimmerman stated that the Zoning
Code has requirements regarding Minor versus full PUD amendments.
Baker said he would like to keep the condition requiring the wetland buffer to be 25 feet
wide. Waldhauser said she would not support that. Segelbaum said he would like a better
understanding of the requirements for wetland buffers. Zimmerman stated that by default,
a 25-foot buffer is a condition. He reiterated that the Engineering staff and the Bassett
Creek Watershed Management Commission have said that a 10-foot buffer is appropriate
and that the plans have always shown a 10-foot buffer. Baker questioned if the
Commission voted on a 10-foot buffer during their Preliminary Plan review. Segelbaum
said he thinks there is conflicting information.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Waldhauser to recommend approval of the Final PUD
Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods, PUD #120 subject to the findings and conditions in the
staff report.
Cera noted that the staff recommendation includes the 25-foot wetland buffer.
Zimmerman stated that the discrepancy between the PUD ordinance and the
Engineering/Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission was discovered after
his staff report was written, so Staff's recommendation is to strike condition number 3
regarding the wetland buffer. Segelbaum said that it seems to him that they are voting on
the 25-foot wetland buffer.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 9, 2015
Page 7
Waldhauser said she would like to amend the motion to include Staff's condition with the
change in the required wetland buffer to 10 feet. She added that she would also like to
amend condition number 4 to state that no additional driveway or utility access shall be
allowed along the private driveway without a PUD Amendment. Cera seconded the
amendment. Kluchka said his intent was to require a 10-foot wetland buffer. Zimmerman
stated that striking condition number 3 would make the wetland buffer requirement 10
feet.
Segelbaum amended Waldhauser's motion to state that the wetland buffer should be set
to that which is required by City Code. Baker seconded the amendment and the motion
carried 4 to 3 to recommend approval of the Final PUD Plan for Sweeney Lake Woods,
PUD #120 subject to the following findings and conditions. Commissioners Baker, Blum,
Johnson and Segelbaum voted yes, Commissioners Cera, Kluchka and Waldhauser
voted no.
Findings:
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

2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, dated February 5, 2015, shall
become a part of this approval.
3. The riparian buffer strip along the delineated wetland shall be that width which is
required by City Code.
4. No additional driveway or utility access shall be allowed along the private driveway
without a PUD Amendment.
5. A park dedication fee of $13,920, or 2% of the land value with credit for one unit,
shall be paid before release of the Final Plat.
6. The Final Plat shall include "P.U.D. No. 120" in its title.

Subject: Preliminary PUD#120— 1801 Noble Drive—Sweeney Lake Woods
The Golden Valley Fire Department has reviewed the Final PUD plans dated January 9, 2015 for
1801 Noble Drive—Sweeney Lake Woods. This plan shows an 18 foot wide access driveway with
signage on both sides of the driveway indicating "No Parking". At the end of the approximately 450
foot private driveway there is a 70 foot diameter cul-de-sac with a drivable grass paver system in
the center of the circle. Also shown is a private fire hydrant in the cul-de-sac fed by a 6 inch water
line connected at Noble Drive / Major Drive. These features address the points of concern noted in
the preliminary PUD review.
The one item that is not address in the Final PUD submittal is the construction of the driveway. In
the preliminary PUD review, it was noted that the plans do not give specifics on what standard the
driveway will be constructed to. Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFQ 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.
If the driveway is not designed to support the weight of a large fire truck, I will not support this
project. This issue is detailed in my preliminary PUD memo dated November 3, 2014.

Subject: Sweeney Lake Woods PUD #120 (1801 Noble Drive)
Final PUD Review
Engineering staff has reviewed the Final PUD Plans for the proposed residential development
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 home
and proposes subdividing the property into three single-family parcels that will have access to
Noble Drive via a shared private driveway.
Since the preliminary PUD submittal, staff has met with the Developer to discuss the items listed
in the preliminary review. It appears the final PUD plans address most of the items identified
previously. This memorandum discusses the remaining issues that must be addressed prior to
approval of the final plat and Development Agreement. The comments contained in this review
are based upon plans submitted to the City on January 9, 2015.
Proposed Final Plat and Site Plan:
This development includes the construction of 3 single-family homes, public watermain and
sanitary sewer mains, and common area elements that include a shared driveway with cul-de-
sac, a snow storage area west of the cul-de-sac, and a stormwater basin located in rear yard of
Lot 3. The common area elements, including the shared driveway, snow storage area, stormwater
basin, and storm sewer facilities, will be owned and maintained by the Developer or future
homeowners association. The details of the maintenance obligations and responsibilities will be
included in the Development and Maintenance Agreements drafted prior to consideration of final
plat approval.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Pinal PUD Review 020315.docx
The property being considered for subdivision does not have frontage on a public street as
required by Golden Valley City Code. The existing parcel has access onto Noble Drive via a 20-foot
wide parcel that extends southward from Noble Drive. The Developer has proposed platting this
parcel as an Outlot containing the private driveway and public water and sewer facilities. At the
recommendation of the City, the Developer has modified the plans to show a driveway width of
18 feet and a cul-de-sac diameter of 70 feet.
Engineering staff recommends that the private driveway and cul-de-sac be designed and
constructed to a minimum seven (7) ton per axle capacity with appropriate subgrade corrections
in order to accommodate construction vehicles, fire vehicles, garbage trucks and utility
maintenance vehicles with a lower risk of premature pavement failure. The Developer will be
required to submit design calculations and typical street sections as part of the final construction
plan submittal.
The shared driveway will be owned and maintained by the Developer and/or future homeowners
association. Maintenance of the shared driveway must include pavement preservation and
replacement, as well as street sweeping and snow removal.
There are existing undeveloped properties immediately adjacent to the proposed PUD on its
western boundary. In its previous review, the City required that the Developer dedicate a 25-foot
wide driveway/access easement over Lot 1, west of the cul-de-sac, to allow for future access to
the shared driveway, should such an arrangement be brought forth by the property owners in the
future. It appears that the modified plans address this concern as Outlot A extends west of the
cul-de-sac at a width of 30 feet.
The Developer has submitted a proposed final plat that includes the dedication of drainage and
utility easements on each of the three parcels. However, the following items are found to be
missing or incomplete on the plat:
1. Drainage and Utility easements over the entire Outlot A, in order to accommodate the
City water and sanitary sewer for the PUD.
2. Drainage and Utility easements over Sweeney Lake that extend up to encompass the
regulatory flood protection elevation of 833.5 feet above sea level.
3. Show and label the 100-year flood elevation contour on the plat. This contour must also
be shown and labeled on a revised final grading plan for the PUD and on each stormwater
management plan submitted by the builders.
4. The plat is called Sweeney Shores and the final PUD plans are called Sweeney Lake
Woods. The Developer must clarify the names of each and then include "P.U.D. No. 120"
in the title of the plat.
The Developer will be required to dedicate permanent conservation easements over the
wetlands and portions of the shoreline adjacent to Sweeney Lake. These easements must begin
at the lake and extend to a minimum of ten (10) feet upland of the ordinary high water level of
the lake or delineated wetland limits, whichever is greater. The terms of the conservation
easements will be consistent with recent subdivisions on Sweeney Lake, including the Hidden
Lakes PUD, and will require a buffer consisting of the preservation of natural vegetation or
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Pinal PUD Review 020315.docx 2
establishment of native vegetation. Each homeowner will have limited access to the lake through
a 20-foot access corridor.
The property owner will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the buffer. The maintenance
requirements will be included in the text of the conservation easements. Because each
homeowner will determine the location of their access corridor, the conservation easements
must be based upon customized legal descriptions. The legal descriptions and surveys illustrating
the easements must be submitted by the Developer to the City for review and approval. Signs or
posts designed to City standards must be placed in the field to clearly mark the boundary of the
conservation easement areas. No permanent structures will be allowed in the conservation
easements or the access corridors, and no outside storage will be allowed within the
conservation easement areas. Stairways, docks, and sand beaches may be allowed within the
access corridors, provided they are consistent with the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (MnDNR) guidelines and permit requirements, and the provisions of the Wetland
Conservation Act. Work below the OHWL may not occur without a permit from the MnDNR.
The conservation easements must be drafted by the City, signed by all parties, and recorded with
Hennepin County, before Stormwater Management Permits are issued for new construction. The
fee for drafting and recording the easements is$1,500 ($500 per parcel). The PUD Development
Agreement will specify that an escrow must be posted by the Developer in an amount sufficient
to cover the establishment of the buffer areas per the approved plans and the maintenance
required for two additional growing seasons.
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 from
existing facilities located to the north as shown on the Utility Plan. The pipe materials and
locations shown on the plan are generally acceptable. However, the City reserves the right to
require modifications of these plans based upon further review of final construction plans and
conditions in the field at the time of construction. 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.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Final PUD Review 020315.docx 3
The sanitary sewer and water mains 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 final construction 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 up to 150%of the estimated
construction costs of the sanitary sewer and water systems. This security will be further detailed
in the PUD Development Agreement at the time of final plat 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 (1/1) Reduction
Ordinance. At the time of building demolition, the Developer removed a portion of the sanitary
sewer service that served the single-family home that formerly sat on this property. 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. A portion of the service is located on an
adjacent owner's property, and permission will need to be obtained to complete the work. The
three proposed homes must undergo 1/1 inspections 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-wide 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 will need to explore the installation of private utilities through joint trench
construction. This has been done in many other developments within the City. Along with its final
construction plans, the Developer must submit a revised Utility Plan showing the proposed
location of the private underground facilities.
Grading and 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, for projects with over 10,000 square feet of land disturbance, 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. There are two Best Management Practices that apply to this
development and the Developer has committed to providing these in the PUD:
6:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Pinal PUD Review 020315.docx 4
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. The BCWMC may also review and
comment on the design of the basin. The Developer or future homeowners association
will be responsible for maintenance and therefore 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 owners to access the lake. The buffer must be a minimum of ten (10)
feet in width and should be shown and described on the final construction 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.
The Developer has submitted a Wetland Delineation Report for the site. However, since the
report was submitted to the City outside of the growing season, the field review and final
determinations will need to be made in the spring as conditions allow. Therefore, any
recommendation or approval of this PUD must be contingent upon the successful completion of
the Wetland Conservation Act process. Until such notice of decision has been made, no permits
will be issued for site work on the three parcels.
Based on the Grading Plan submitted and discussions with the Developer, this development will
be completed in two phases. Phase one involves construction of the public utilities and shared
driveway. Staff strongly recommends that the stormwater basin and associated pipe work also be
constructed in the first phase of construction (at a minimum to serve as a temporary sediment
basin until final grading occurs). Phase two involves custom-grading the three proposed parcels
at the time of home construction. A City Stormwater Management Permit will be required for
phase one construction. Separate Stormwater Management permits will be required for each
home prior to the start of construction. The Stormwater Management Permit applications must
include Stormwater Management Plans that are 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. Based on recent
construction experience near Sweeney Lake, staff also recommends that the developer or
individual builders have a plan for construction site dewatering as part of their stormwater plans.
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 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.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Final PUD Review 020315.docx 5
This PUD may also be subject to the MPCA Construction Stormwater Permit. A copy of the permit
and Storm Water 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 at the time of
permitting.
Summary and Recommendation:
Engineering staff supports the approval 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 and cul-de-sac must be designed and constructed to a minimum
seven (7) ton per axle capacity, as discussed in this review.
2. The shared driveway will be owned and maintained by the Developer and/or future
homeowners association. Maintenance of the shared driveway must include pavement
preservation and replacement, as well as street sweeping and snow removal.
3. The Developer must dedicate drainage and utility easements on the final plat, as
described in this review.
4. The Developer must dedicate permanent conservation easements over the wetlands and
portions of the shoreline adjacent to Sweeney Lake, and establish vegetation buffers, as
discussed in this review.
5. The Developer must design the public utilities according to City standards and
specifications and submit the final construction plans for review and comment. The plans
must include drawings showing plan and profile views. The Developer must also submit a
financial security for up to 150% of the estimated construction costs of the sanitary sewer
and water systems.
6. The final utility plans must be modified to show the location of proposed underground
private utilities (joint trench construction).
7. The three proposed homes must undergo 1/1 inspections and be deemed compliant with
the 1/1 ordinance, prior to occupancy of the homes, the sewer service for the home that
was previously demolished must be removed to the main.
8. Any recommendation or approval of this PUD must be contingent upon the successful
completion of the Wetland Conservation Act process, including the field review. Until a
formal notice of decision has been made by the City, no permits will be issued for site
work on the three parcels.
9. Separate City Stormwater Management permits and Tree Preservation permits are
required for the initial phase of construction and for construction of each home, as
discussed in this review.
G:\Developments-Private\Sweeney Lake Woods\Sweeney_Final PUD Review 020315.docx 6
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.

Fps 2 7 2015
Dear Mayor and Golden Valley City Council Members,
Regarding the buffer requirement you will be determining for the three lots of Sweeney Lake
Woods, we ask that you consider the following:
1) The original presentation by the applicant to the planning commission included a 25 foot
buffer to be installed adjacent to the conservation easement determined by the approved
DNR wetland delineation. This was an integral part of the presentation to offset the
impact that three large lakefront homes might have on the water quality of the lake.
Based in part on this provision, the planning commission recommended approval.
2) At the city council meeting that followed, the presentation that had included a 25 foot
buffer for the 3 lot development was reduced to 10 feet. No mention of this reduction
was made during the meeting, and city council gave preliminary approval.
3) The size of the buffer did come up in the more recent 2"d round with the planning
commission. One commissioner, aware of Governor Dayton's recent statement that all
Minnesota waters should be protected by a minimum buffer of 50 feet, strongly urged
that, at the very least, the original plan of 25 feet should be implemented. It was noted
that the lots across the lake in Hidden Lakes, also a PUD, have a 50 foot buffer
requirement enforced by the city.
4) The wetland delineation map shows that there are numerous springs along lot 3 and half
of lot 2. Since the delineation goes well up from the shoreline due to these springs,
concern was raised that any more than 10 feet of buffer in this highest area could impact
the location of the house to be built on lot 3.
5) There are no springs, no wetlands, no trees or growth of any type along the remaining
half of lot 2 and all of lot 1. This stretch of approximately 300 feet along the shore
consists only of eroding lawn. There is no root structure of any kind preventing erosion,
and more importantly, no growth or root structure to naturally filter the runoff from the
incline of these walkout sites.
6) The two recently approved lots to the north in Hanson Wood Shores are heavily wooded
to the shoreline. These lots have a 10 foot buffer requirement, however, due to in-ground
spring activity, the conservation easement is as wide as fifty feet and more, which
means the shoreline will remain a wooded conservation area, with an additional 10 feet
of buffer beyond.
7) The sensible and important solution at Sweeney Lake Woods would be to allow for a 10
foot buffer requirement along the conservation easement of lot 3 and the north half of lot
2. Where the conservation easement ends in the middle of lot 2, a wider buffer strip
should be required and maintained along the shoreline that is now lawn.
8) On all of Sweeney Lake, this 300 foot length of eroding shoreline is the most denuded.
Because the site is an incline, a wide buffer is critical for filtration of sediment, fertilizers,
chemicals and runoff. Natural buffers consist of native shoreline grasses and native
flowering plants, whose root structures go as deep as 4– 8 feet. The root structure of
the existing lawn is a few inches.
9) Many Sweeney lakefront homeowners with no buffer requirements have installed native
buffers and prairies on their own to protect and improve the shoreline and water quality,
and more are in the works. The regional manager of Prairie Restoration supervises
several locations on the lake. In his words, "a 10 foot buffer is not nearly enough." He
would like to see a fifty foot minimum enforced on all waters.
10)This is a PUD, and as such, the city council has the right and responsibility to enforce
good policy for the protection of all. Our hope is that when the buffer issue is discussed
for final approval, this simple yet effective solution is applied.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carol Bemis, 1334 Spring Valley Road
Bobby and Barbara Griffin, 1326 Spring Valley Road

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 3, 2015
Agenda Item
6. A. Proposed Code Amendment to Section 4.31: Stormwater Management
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
The City has a stormwater management ordinance that was last updated in 2010. The ordinance
is the regulatory mechanism that helps the City to enforce its stormwater requirements to ensure
the protection of its water resources. The ordinance is part of the City's overall stormwater
management program that is required under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) program administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
In response to changing federal regulations, the MPCA reissued its Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit in 2013. The City applied for and received permit coverage under the
new permit in April 2014. As part of the MPCA approval, the City is required to make updates to
its stormwater management program, including its Stormwater Management Ordinance, within
12 months of permit coverage.
Updates to the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance are based upon Environmental
Protection Agency rules, the MPCA Construction Permit, MPCA MS4 Permit language and
guidance documents, guidance from the Minnesota Cities Stormwater Coalition, and the Bassett
Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) draft watershed management plan. The
City Attorney has also reviewed the ordinance.
Major revisions to the ordinance include the following:
1. Updating and clarifying the project thresholds which trigger permit applications and
project reviews by the City and its partner agencies.
2. Construction site stormwater runoff controls -adding recommended language and
references to the MPCA Construction Permit for sites equal to or greater than one acre.
3. Post-construction stormwater management -adding recommended language from the
MPCA MS4 Permit and BCWMC watershed plan for sites equal to or greater than one
acre. This includes requirements for new development, redevelopment, and linear
projects, and limitations and exceptions to the requirement.
4. General Performance Standards - Buffers -adding the new BCWMC buffer requirements
for consistency with the watershed plan.
5. Illegal Discharge - adding recommended language regarding the prohibition of illegal
discharges into the City's stormwater system and surface waters, including the City's
authority to inspect private properties to ensure compliance.

sections (2) & (3) to read as follows and renumbering subsequent subsections as needed:
2. The commencement, conduct or continuance of any illegal discharge to the storm
drain system is prohibited except as described as follows:
a. The following discharges are exempt from discharge prohibitions established
by this ordinance: water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream
flows, rising ground water infiltration, uncontaminated pumped ground water,
sump pump discharge, discharges from potable water sources, foundation
drains, air conditioning condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from
crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering, individual residential car
washing, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming
pool discharges, and street wash water.
b. Discharges or flow from firefighting.
c. Discharges associated with dye testing; however, this activity requires a
verbal notification to the City's Public Works Department prior to the time of
the test.
3. The prohibition shall not apply to any non-stormwater discharge permitted under
an NPDES permit, waiver, or waste discharge order issued to the discharger and
administered under the authority of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), provided that the discharger is in full compliance with all
requirements of the permit, waiver, or order and other applicable laws and
regulations, and provided that written approval has been granted for any
discharge to the storm drain system.
Section 21. City Code Section 4:31, Subdivision 7(C) is hereby amended by adding
Section (4) to read as follows:
4. Watercourse Protection. Every person owning property through which a
watercourse passes, or such person's lessee, shall keep and maintain that part
of the watercourse within the property free of trash, debris, and other obstacles
that would pollute, contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through
the watercourse. In addition, the owner or lessee shall maintain existing privately
owned structures within or adjacent to a watercourse, so that such structures will
not become a hazard to use, function, or physical integrity of the watercourse.
Section 22. City Code Section 4:31, Subdivision 7, is hereby amended by adding
Sections (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), and (J) to read as follows:
E. Notification of Spills or Leaks.
1. Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person
responsible for a facility or operation, or responsible for emergency response
for a facility or operation has information of any known or suspected release
of materials which are resulting or may result in illegal discharges or
pollutants discharging into stormwater, the stormwater management system,
or surface waters, said person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the
discovery, containment, and cleanup of such release. In the event of such a
release of hazardous materials, said person shall immediately notify
emergency response agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch
services. This shall include immediate notification of the Minnesota
Department of Safety Duty Officer, if the source of the illegal discharge is a
spill of leak as defined in Minn. Stat. 115.061. If the discharge of prohibited
materials emanates from a commercial or industrial establishment, the owner
or operator of such establishment shall also retain an on-site written record of
the discharge and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such records
shall be retained for at least two (2) years.
F. Compliance Monitoring.
1. Right of Entry. City inspectors and regulators shall be permitted to enter and
inspect facilities subject to regulation under this Section of the City Code as
often as may be necessary to determine compliance with this ordinance.
a. If a discharger has security measures in force which require proper
identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger
shall make the necessary arrangements to allow access to
representatives of the City.
b. Facility operators shall allow approved City employees ready access to all
parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling,
examination, and copying of records that must be kept under the
conditions of an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater.
c. The City shall have the right to set up on any facility such devices as are
necessary to conduct monitoring and/or sampling of the facility's
stormwater discharge to ensure compliance with this Section.
d. The City has the right to require the discharger to install monitoring
equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment
shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by
the discharger at its own expense. All devices used to measure
stormwater flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
e. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the
facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the
operator at the written or oral request of the City and shall not be replaced.
The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the operator.
f. Unreasonable delays in allowing the City access to a facility is a violation
of this Section. A person who is the operator of a facility commits an
offense if the person denies the City reasonable access to the facility for
the purpose of conducting any activity authorized or required by this
Chapter.
2. Search Warrants. If the City has been refused access to any part of the
premises from which stormwater is discharged, and is able to demonstrate
probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Section, or that
there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and
sampling program designed to verify compliance with this Section or any
order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety, and
welfare of the community, then the City may seek issuance of a search
warrant from any court of competent jurisdiction.
G. Violations, Enforcement, and Penalties.
1. Violations. It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision or fail to
comply with any of the requirements of this Section. Any person who has
violated or continues to violate the provisions of this Section, may be subject
to the enforcement actions outlined in this Section or may be restrained by
injunction or otherwise abated in a manner provided by law. In the event the
violation constitutes an immediate danger to public health or public safety, the
City is authorized to enter upon the subject private property, without giving
prior notice, to take any and all measures necessary to abate the violation
and/or restore the property. The City is authorized to seek costs of the
abatement as outlined in Chapter 10 of the City Code.
2. Warning Notice. When the City finds that any person has violated, or
continues to violate, any provision of this Section, or any order issued
hereunder, the City may serve upon that person a written Warning Notice,
specifying the particular violation believed to have occurred and requesting
the discharger to immediately investigate the matter and to seek a resolution
whereby any offending discharge will cease. Investigation and/or resolution of
the matter in response to the Warning Notice in no way relieves the alleged
violator of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the
Warning Notice. Nothing in this subsection shall limit the authority of the City
to take any action, including emergency action or any other enforcement
action, without first issuing a Warning Notice.
3. Notice of Violation. Whenever the City finds that a person has violated a
prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this section, the City may order
compliance by written notice of violation to the responsible person.
A. The Notice of Violation shall contain:
a. The name and address of the alleged violator;
b. The address when available or a description of the building, structure
or land upon which the violation is occurring, or has occurred;
c. A statement specifying the nature of the violation;
d. A description of the remedial measures necessary to restore
compliance with this Section and a time schedule for the completion of
such remedial action;
e. A statement of the penalty or penalties that shall or may be assessed
against the person to whom the notice of violation is directed;
f. A statement that the determination of violation may be appealed to the
City by filing a written notice of appeal within five (5) days of service of
notice of violation; and
g. A statement specifying that, should the violator fail to restore
compliance within the established time schedule, the work will be done
by a designated governmental agency or a contractor and the expense
thereof shall be charged to the violator.
B. Such notice may require without limitation:
1. The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting;
2. The elimination of illicit connections or discharges;
3. That violating discharges, practices, or operations shall cease and
desist;
4. The abatement or remediation of storm water pollution or
contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property
5. Payment of a fine to cover administrative and remediation costs; and
6. The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs.
4. Civil Penalties. In the event of alleged violator fails to take the remedial
measures set forth in the notice of violation or otherwise fails to cure the
violations described therein within five (5) days, or such greater period as the
City shall deem appropriate, the City may impose a penalty not to exceed one
thousand dollars ($1000.00) (depending on the severity of the violation) for
each day the violation remains unremedied after receipt of the notice of
violation.
H. Appeal of Notice of Violation. If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to
the requirements set forth in the Notice of Violation, or, in the event of an appeal,
within five (5) days of the decision of the municipal authority upholding the
decision of the City then representatives of the City shall enter upon the subject
private property and are authorized to take any and all measures necessary to
abate the violation and/or restore the property. It shall be unlawful for any person,
owner, agent or person in possession of any premises to refuse to allow the
government agency or designated contractor to enter upon the premises for the
purposes set forth above.
I. Cost of Abatement of the Violation. Within five (5) days after abatement of the
violation, the owner of the property will be notified of the cost of abatement,
including administrative costs. The property owner may file a written protest
objecting to the amount of the assessment within five (5) days. If the amount due
is not paid within a timely manner as determined by the decision of the municipal
authority or by the expiration of the time in which to file an appeal, the charges
shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a
lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.
J. Violations Deemed a Public Nuisance. In addition to the enforcement processes
and penalties provided in this Section, any condition caused or permitted to exist
in violation of any of the provisions of this Section is a threat to public health,
safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a nuisance, and may be
summarily abated or restored at the violator's expense, and/or a civil action to
abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken.
Section 15. City Code Chapter 1 entitled "General Provisions and Definitions
Applicable to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation" and Section 3.99 entitled
"Violation a Misdemeanor" are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as though
repeated verbatim herein.
Section 16. This Ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and
publication as required by law.
Adopt by the City Council this 3rd day of March, 2015.
