Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
September 8, 2015
Present: Mayor Harris and Council Members, Clausen, Fonnest, Schmidgall and Snope,
Assistant City Manager Chantell Knauss; Finance Director Sue Virnig; Police Chief Stacy
Carlson; Physical Development Director Marc Nevinski; Director of Parks and Recreation
Rick Birno; Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman; Golf Operations Manager Ben Disch;
Public Works Maintenance Manager Bert Tracy; Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily
Goellner; and Administrative Assistant Judy Nally.
The meeting began at 6:32 pm in the Council Conference Room.
2014-2015 Winter Parking Restrictions Review
Physical Development Director Nevinski reviewed the history and process of the parking
restrictions for the 2014-15 winter. He stated that winter was mild, and the parking
restrictions helped to clean the streets better and more efficiently. He also reviewed the
winter parking restrictions for surrounding cities.
Police Chief Stacy Carlson reviewed the parking warnings and citations that were issued.
She stated that warnings were issued in November and 240 citations were issued. As the
season continued the complaints dropped. Calls were also received from residents who
felt there was not enough enforcement of people violating the code and parking in the
street overnight.
Some Council Members stated they received complaints from residents who oppose the
restrictions because they have hardships on their property. Some Council Members stated
they had received favorable comments from residents.
The Council discussed snow emergency process, quality of the snowplowing, costs,
parking waiver requests, season wide parking exceptions, warning tags and citations,
review process for considering winter parking restrictions earlier in order to make changes
before winter starts.
Staff was requested to put an article in the newsletter explaining the snow plow process
and differing types of plowing and ice control.
The Council consensus was to place the item on the October Council/Manager meeting
when a full Council is present.
Goals and Work Plan for Updating Tree and Landscape Requirements
Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner gave a PowerPoint presentation on the
proposed tree/landscape code amendments, reviewing community concerns, and policy
goals. Parks Maintenance Supervisor Al Lundstrom answered questions about the current
tree and landscape requirements and proposed amendments. The amendments include
adjusting the percentage of trees removed during the initial site development and during
subsequent development of individual lots and adding minimum landscape standards.
The Council discussed percentage of trees removed, mitigation plans and requirements,
removal of and managing understory brush, buffers, buckthorn removal, cash mitigation,

size of trees planted, planting restrictions, requiring mitigated tree replacement only on
property where trees were removed, commercial/residential mitigation policy flexibility in
tree planting, significant trees, detailed tree survey and replacement plan, and tree
mitigation in parks.
The Council consensus is to proceed with the proposed policy amendments and
requested staff to review adjusting the percentage of trees removed from single family
sites from 20% to 15%.
Staff will prepare the revised policy and bring it back to the October Council/Manager
meeting.
Neighborhood Meeting Policy
Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman reviewed the policy which requires an applicant for
a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), a Planned Unit Development (PUD), a subdivision, or a
rezoning to hold a meeting with property owners within 500 feet of the subject property to
discuss the application.
Staff reviewed the amendments to the policy which would remove the requirement for any
applicant for a CUP, subdivision or rezoning to conduct a neighborhood meeting and send
a mailing instead. Only applicants applying for a PUD will be required to conduct a
neighborhood meeting with residents/property owners.
The City would provide the applicant with an outline of the items that should be discussed
in the mailing such as proposed narrative of the development, tree preservation plan, and
traffic and noise impacts. Staff will review the information packet prior to being mailed to
neighborhood. The mailing will also include an outline of any future meeting dates, times
and contact information for city staff. A flow chart that outlines the process for each type of
application will be placed on the website.
Storage of Dealership Vehicles in 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District
Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner displayed a map which shows the car
dealerships and the overflow lots in the 1-394 corridor. There are a number of properties
that are improperly storing dealership cars offsite in parking lots owned by other
businesses.
The consensus of the Council was to not amend the Zoning Code to allow the cars to
continue to park in offsite lots.
Staff will contact the car dealerships to discuss the removal of the improperly stored
dealership cars in parking lots.
Proposed 2015-2016 Other Funds Biennial Budget and Portions of Capital
Improvement Program (CIP)
The Council asked questions about the proposed 2016-2017 for the Brookview Golf
Course Fund (Enterprise) and CIP 2016-2020; Human Services Fund (Special Revenue);

Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 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,
August 24, 2015. Vice Chair Segelbaum called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Baker, Blum, Cera, Johnson, Kluchka,
Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present was Physical Development Director Marc
Nevinski, Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily
Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
1. Approval of Minutes
July 27, 2015, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to
approve the July 27, 2015, minutes as submitted. Commissioner Cera abstained from
voting.
2. Consideration of Resolution No. 15-01 Finding that the Redevelopment Plan
for the Winnetka and Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Area and Tax
Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District (Liberty Crossing Project)
Conform to the City's General Plan of Development
Nevinski explained that the City's HRA has established a redevelopment area and a Tax
Increment Finance (TIF) district that includes the properties involved in the recently
approved Liberty Crossing PUD located near Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue.
He referred to a map of the redevelopment area and the TIF district and stated that the
properties in the TIF District have been reguided and rezoned for High Density
Residential. He explained that part of the statutory process requires the Planning
Commission to consider the plans and determine if they are compatible with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and regulations, and if they encourage efficient use of infrastructure.
Kluchka asked for specifics on what the TIF money will be paying for. Nevinski stated that
the TIF Plan outlines a number of issues and that the money will largely be used for
infrastructure development including some land purchases to help with flood control.
Kluchka asked if the duration of the TIF district is 25 years. Nevinski said the
redevelopment district can run for up to 25 years. He added that if the City negotiates an
agreement with the developer, or if bonds are paid off earlier, the district can be
decertified sooner. Kluchka asked if the TIF amount will be 19 million dollars. Nevinski
said the amount is projected to be approximately 6.5 million dollars.
Kluchka asked how much money is being contributed by neighboring cities for flood
mitigation. Nevinski said that has not yet been determined and will likely be determined
after the study of DeCola ponds is completed. Kluchka said there are no guarantees the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 2
City will get any other funding and asked about the cost of flood mitigation as it currently
stands. Nevinski said there have been some estimates in the 25 million dollar range. He
explained that there is no one solution for dealing with the flood issues in the area. There
are many smaller projects that will require partnerships and the various cities working
together.
Segelbaum questioned if adopting this TIF district would compromise the City's ability to
negotiate with other cities. Nevinski said he doesn't think so, he said he thinks the
development project gives the City opportunities to help fund some of the flood mitigation
projects. Segelbaum asked if other cities don't help with the costs if the funds can be
focused on helping Golden Valley flood mitigation. Nevinski said this plan is largely
focused on benefitting Golden Valley and will have positive impacts on the flooding that
occurs at the Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue intersection. He added that the
partner cities have contributed to the funding of the study and he thinks they understand
the problems.
Waldhauser asked if in light of what flood mitigation may cost, the City has ever
considered putting the whole area back as flood storage rather than maintaining it, or
redeveloping it. Nevinski explained that much of the area in the proposed redevelopment
is on high ground and is not filling in the existing flood storage areas. There will be some
flood storage area used by the proposed development, but the developer will have to
mitigate what they are filling, so the flood storage area is not shrinking and using tax
increment will help expand it.
Cera asked if blight had to be proven on the properties in the TIF district. Nevinski said
tax increment statutes require that specific findings be made regarding blight conditions.
He said it is well documented that all of the properties in the TIF district are substandard.
Segelbaum asked if the Planning Commission has to find that the properties are blighted.
Nevinski said no, the Planning Commission is considering its conformance to the
Comprehensive Plan and the City's desire for high density housing in this area.
Kluchka referred to the map of the redevelopment area and questioned why the lines look
so gerrymandered. He said he is curious about the properties abutting the ponds and
what kinds of opportunities will be available to them. Nevinski said the map was put
together based on the shape of the parcels. He explained that the redevelopment area
was established how it was because there is expected to be future work in the
Pennsylvania Woods area to help with flood conveyance and rate control. Kluchka said
he is not confident that much thought was put into the boundaries of the map. He said he
is very concerned about the properties surrounding the ponds and the connection to the
study. He asked if any of the TIE money will be used to acquire some of these properties
as a part of flood mitigation measures. Nevinski stated that the TIF project is focused on
activities improving infrastructure related to the proposed development. He said the
properties adjacent to the ponds are outside of the redevelopment area and project area
and tax increment money will not be spent outside of the redevelopment area. Kluchka
asked why the area wasn't drawn larger. Nevinski said there is a limited amount of dollars
available from tax increment so the focus is on infrastructure in the redevelopment area to
expand the flood storage and rate control opportunities at the northern end of the area.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 3
Waldhauser asked Kluchka if his concern is that some of the properties adjacent to the
ponds have regular flooding. Kluchka said he is concerned that a lot of the property
owners have received communication indicating that their properties are in a flood plain
that they weren't in before and they are on high alert that their properties may be bought
out. Waldhauser asked if these properties have experienced flooding. Kluchka said yes.
Segelbaum asked if the study will consider any of the properties outside of the project
area to determine if they are prone to flooding. Nevinski said yes and added that in some
cases the mitigation will be to remove a home if the homeowner wants to sell, but the City
isn't going to insist that acquisitions occur.
Segelbaum asked if TIF funds could be used to redirect the flood water or obtain
additional flood storage. Nevinski said yes, by adding more flood storage, expanding the
DeCola ponds, working with Dover Hill Apartments and the cities of Crystal and New
Hope, more flood water will be held and the impacts will be reduced. Kluchka asked if
funding for the acquisition of homes would come from the TIF funds. Nevinski said no, not
as part of this proposal. Segelbaum asked if TIF funds could be used for acquiring
easements. Nevinski said yes, the City will be working with the Liberty Crossing
developer on obtaining easements on the VFW property. Baker asked who would own
and maintain the flood storage beneath the Liberty Crossing project. Nevinski said it
would be owned and maintained by the City. Cera asked if the developer is responsible
for their portion of the flood mitigation on their parcels. Nevinski said yes.
Johnson noted that the Redevelopment Plan states that development patterns have
resulted in flooding in the area and that the area used to be a lowland and a wetland
when nothing has really changed in the last 50 years. He noted that one of the goals
listed in the Redevelopment Plan is to minimize the impact of flooding on private property
and structures and said he is confused because the plan also states that 25% of the TIF
proceeds can be used for infrastructure. He asked if infrastructure means flooding.
Nevinski said there is some ability for the City to spend 25% of the increment outside of
the TIF district, but within the project area, and that the City would like to put that toward
infrastructure improvements. Johnson asked how the flood mitigation is measured or
quantified and what "flooding will be minimized" really means and if that is the Planning
Commission's charge to consider. Nevinski explained that the Redevelopment Plan has
broad goals and that the more specific information will be in the mitigation study. He
added that the Planning Commission's purview, by statute, is to consider the proposed
land use and determine if it meets the goals that the City has established regarding land
use. Baker said he thinks the goal regarding minimizing the impact of flooding might be
considered part of what the Planning Commission is asked to review. Kluchka stated that
the Planning Commission hears complaints about flooding during public hearings and this
is a great opportunity for the Commission to say something about it. He said he thinks the
word accountability should be added to the language in their recommendation because
there should be accountability around the things the City says it will do. He said when
things do not go according to plan residents don't have any recourse and that is simply
not good enough. Segelbaum said he thinks the mitigation study will be reviewed before it
is adopted. Nevinski said the Councils of the three cities will review the study.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 4
Kluchka asked when the developer determined that the only way they would be able to do
their development is with TIF money, because he thought the developer had said during
the PUD process that they wouldn't need to use TIF for their proposal. Nevinski stated
that as they've worked through the plans with the developer they've found there is a need
to acquire some land and to make some infrastructure improvements in order to provide a
greater public benefit. Segelbaum said he thought the developer was responsible for
making their site flood neutral. Nevinski said the developer will need some compensation
to help offset the costs for the public use of their property for flood storage in the area.
Segelbaum asked if the "but for" analysis is important in justifying a TIF district. Nevinski
explained that having the "but for TIF, the project wouldn't go forward analysis" is at the
heart of Minnesota TIF law. Kluchka said he understands something might have come up
after the PUD public hearing, but he doesn't want the City to get in trouble because the
developer has said on record they don't need TIF financing. Nevinski clarified that the TIF
documents and this public hearing process are helping to show the need for TIF. He
added that it is not uncommon for projects to go through several iterations before it is
realized that TIF financing will help with the project and with obtaining some public
improvements as well.
Segelbaum asked if an amount the developer will receive has been determined. Nevinski
said that will be determined by the HRA. Blum said it seems as if the development may
be feasible for the developer, but not necessarily with all of the flood mitigation that the
City wants them to do. Nevinski agreed and said the cost of redeveloping the site is too
much without the use of tax increment to help offset the requirements and would not be
able to be redeveloped without the assistance of TIE. Waldhauser asked if the developer
didn't have that information earlier in the process. Nevinski said that is correct and there
have been ongoing discussions about the options in the area. Baker said he doesn't want
to rewrite history, and that the accurate story is that the developer came to the City with
one story, and now they are hearing quite a different story. The developer said they could
do their project without TIF and now the Planning Commission is hearing that the City is
subsidizing the benefit of the PUD rather than the developer providing that benefit.
Kluchka said he hopes there is record of what happened after the Planning Commission's
approval of the PUD. Segelbaum said he thinks the minutes are the record and reflect the
fact that there was not a request for TIF earlier. Cera said it sounds like the City will be
paying for part of the developers cost of flood mitigation and anything more is yet to be
determined. Baker said it sounds like the developer is not doing what they offered to do.
Nevinski said the developer has an approved plan and part of the conditions of that
approved plan is that they will have to deal with the flood mitigation. He said staff has
thought all along that this is a good project because it starts to create opportunities for
dealing with flood storage issues. As the project has moved forward the developer is
realizing the costs of this redevelopment. Baker agreed that the PUD plans were
approved in concept, and if the developer decided they needed more help, that is fine and
is a part of the process.
Baker questioned who initiates TIF and how TIF districts come about because he can
think of many other projects that might have benefited from using TIF. Nevinski said the
City looks at its goals and objectives and what it would take to accomplish them. He
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 5
explained that staff has somewhat driven the process in this case because of the
opportunity for public improvements that will benefit the City as a whole. Segelbaum
asked if the HRA is involved in the development of TIF financing. Nevinski said yes, the
HRA approves the contracts and agreements and has certain powers that the City
Council does not.
Johnson referred to the last paragraph on page three of the Redevelopment Plan where it
states that the study will document the cause of the flooding and identify specific
measures to reduce the flooding in the area by creating more flood storage. He said that
the solution seems pre-ordained and he would expect that the study would find out what
is going on and then propose solutions. He questioned what happens if the flood storage
isn't enough and there continue to be insurance claims and complaints about flooding in
the area. He asked if the study is geared to flood storage and not abatement because it
seems stilted. Nevinski said the current flood mitigation study is the second part of a high
level study started in 2010 that was initially done to help understand the issues and where
there might be opportunities to help solve those issues. The second phase of the study
will be more detailed and will analyze the options, how to go about solving the issues, and
what it will cost. Johnson asked if the solution to all of the issues is more flood storage.
Nevinski said flood storage is a broad term for many different solutions, including ponds,
reducing impervious surface, studying existing storm systems, etc. Johnson said the
issue really is how to keep water out of a swamp/wetland area and he questions if the
City should really being doing this. Nevinski said it isn't really a matter of keeping water
out, it is more about how to manage the water going in. Kluchka said he thinks it is true
that there are a lot of ways to mitigate the water and many of them are being addressed
in the proposed development. He questioned if FEMA money could be used to help with
flood mitigation.
Kluchka asked if there are any affordable units required in this TIF district proposal.
Nevinski said this is not a housing district, its purpose is redeveloping the properties and
the project meets the statutory requirements for a redevelopment district. Kluchka noted
that goal number five in the Redevelopment Plan states that there should be a plan for
growth compatible with the Metropolitan Council development framework and the City is
always being told to provide enough affordable housing units. Nevinski said this project
will provide different types of housing within the community.
Johnson referred to the last statement of objectives listed on page five of the
Redevelopment Plan that refers to constructing or acquiring facilities deemed desirable
for the development of the Project Area and asked what that means. Nevinski said the
language in the Redevelopment Plan comes out of HRA statutes and that the HRA is the
implementer of plans and in some cities the HRA provides certain types of housing and
can step in to get a property ready for development if needed. Johnson asked if this
objective is applicable to this proposal. Waldhauser noted that redevelopment projects
are required to meet one or more of the objectives, not all of them.
Blum referred to page eight of the Redevelopment Plan and noted that the definition of
"Project Area" says Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area instead of Winnetka &
Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Project Area. He referred to the definition of "TIF
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 6
Act" and noted that the statute numbers quoted there are different than the statute
numbers referred to in the TIF Plan. He referred to section a. in the TIF plan where it
states the City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is anywhere from $0 (except for a small amount
for annual appreciation of land value) and questioned if something is missing before the
parenthesis.
Blum asked if there are bus routes on Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road.
Nevinski said yes. Blum said in looking at how the TIF and Redevelopment Plans conform
to the Comprehensive Plan that could be considered an efficient use of infrastructure.
Nevinski agreed. Blum said on the east side of the proposed development there has been
discussion of changing part of Rhode Island Avenue to a grassy area. Nevinski said yes,
and explained that part of the overall project includes reducing the amount of impervious
surface. Blum said he understands there will also be some bike/pedestrian trails that will
go through that area as well which is also efficient use of infrastructure and will provide
some needed connectivity. Nevinski agreed. Blum said the Comprehensive Plan also has
a goal of providing a variety of housing and noted that the proposed development will
have different types of housing including townhomes and apartments. Nevinski said yes,
there are a variety of housing types proposed, however they are all market rate rental
units. Blum said he also understands that right now flood waters aren't managed very well
in this area and asked if that is correct. Nevinski said that is correct and that the VFW
parcel has documented flood issues. Blum said other than the proposed development
there are no other plans for this area to take care of the existing problems. Nevinski
agreed. Blum asked if there are public safety concerns with the flooding in this area if the
flooding is significant enough. Nevinski said there is a concern that public safety vehicles
would not be able to get through that intersection during a flood event.
Segelbaum asked if the Planning Commission just needs to adopt the proposed
resolution or if they need to make additional findings. Nevinski said that by adopting the
resolution the Planning Commission is making the findings that the Redevelopment Plan
and the TIF plan conform to the Comprehensive Plan, are compatible with the City's
regulations, and encourage the efficient use of infrastructure.
MOVED by Kluchka, and seconded by Baker to adopt Resolution No. 15-01 finding that
the Redevelopment Plan for the Winnetka and Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Area
and Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District (Liberty Crossing Project) conform
to the City's General Plan of Development.
Kluchka said he thinks it will be valuable for the HRA and City Council to review the
minutes regarding this item and the Liberty Crossing PUD proposal.
Johnson said he intends to vote no on the resolution because there is nothing
measurable in the plans and he doesn't understand what the outcome is supposed to be.
Segelbaum realized that the public hearing was not held for this item as required.

Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Segelbaum asked for the motion to be restated.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Baker, and motion carried 6 to 1 to adopt Resolution
No. 15-01 finding that the Redevelopment Plan for the Winnetka and Medicine Lake Road
Redevelopment Area and Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District (Liberty
Crossing Project) conform to the City's General Plan of Development. Commissioner
Johnson voted no.
3. Consideration of Resolution No. 15-02 Finding that the Tax Increment
Financing (Housing) District (Cornerstone Creek Project) Conforms to the
City's General Plan of Development
Nevinski stated that Cornerstone Creek is a proposed project within the City's existing
Highway 55 West Redevelopment Area consisting of affordable housing for adults with
developmental disabilities. He explained that a TIF housing district is proposed to be
established for this project and that the Planning Commission needs to review the plans
to consider if the TIF District conforms to the City's Comprehensive Plan. He referred to a
map of the Project Area and the proposed TIF District and noted that the existing uses on
the properties to be redeveloped include a single family home and an office building. He
added that both parcels have been rezoned and reguided to High Density Residential to
allow the proposed redevelopment to occur.
Segelbaum asked if this proposed TIF district would overlap the other TIF district in the
area. Nevinski said no, they are two different TIF districts in the same project area.
Segelbaum asked if the TIF funds can be pooled. Nevinski said no, they have to be
operated independently of one another.
Baker asked if any other TIF districts are anticipated in this project area. Nevinski said
there could be in the future, but currently there are no others TIF districts planned.
Waldhauser asked if the other TIF district in the area will be used to fund sidewalks and
other public improvements. Nevinski said yes, and explained that because of the
additional housing proposed in this area, providing sidewalks, pedestrian scale lighting,
and safety improvements of the existing Highway 55 slip ramp are all part of the public
improvements that will be funded in part by TIF dollars from the Golden Villas (hello.)
proposal. Waldhauser asked how the tax benefit will be used in the Cornerstone Creek
project. Nevinski said the benefit will go to the developer and that the public purpose is
the creation of affordable housing.
Segelbaum asked if it would make sense to change the project area to have them
coincide with the TIF district. Nevinski stated that typically the project area tends to be
broader so various things can be done within the project area.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 8
Waldhauser asked about the five-year rule and tax increment pooling. Nevinski said the
five-year rule and pooling reference relate to the timing that activities need to commence
within a tax increment district.
Blum said the way he understands TIF financing is that the City is making a finding that
without TIF financing a reasonable development would not occur so the City is not
pledging tax money that is here today or tomorrow, but it is tax money that would not be
there except for if this project goes forward. Nevinski said it is an investment in the future
and at some point the City will see catalytic development around the TIF site. After the
TIF district expires the City will then have those new taxes that it wouldn't have but for the
TIF district. He added that with tax increment the tax level currently being paid will
continue to be paid, so taxes aren't being reduced there just isn't an immediate gain in the
increase in taxes. Blum said there are also other benefits to the City as well including the
development of this highly visible gateway area. Nevinski agreed.
Blum referred to the goals in the City's Comprehensive Plan and stated that one of the
goals is to strive for at least 10% of the city's housing supply to be designed for seniors
and asked if this development will provide for seniors. Nevinski said this development is
not exclusively for seniors. Segelbaum stated that the proposed community area could
benefit seniors. Blum said another goal is to highlight commercial corridors and asked if
this proposal would be in line with that goal. Nevinski said yes.
Kluchka asked if the potential budget is 1.5 million over 25 years. Nevinski said that is
correct. Kluchka asked if the developer has said how much money they will need for their
development. Nevinski said Cornerstone Creek is also benefitting from a variety of
County and State funds.
Kluchka asked why notification was sent to the Hopkins School District. Nevinski stated
that the City is statutorily required to send notice to the County and the School District to
get comments and feedback because they benefit from taxes and could see an impact in
their tax capacity.
Johnson stated that when the Planning Commission reviewed the Cornerstone Creek
PUD proposal the applicant stated that they were thinking about renting out their
community center space. He said it seems odd to him that they could charge for access
when there are tax dollars being used to fund it. Nevinski clarified that the community
center space will be a separate parcel and will not be a part of the TIF district.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to adopt
Resolution No. 15-02 finding that the Tax Increment Financing (Housing) District
(Cornerstone Creek Project) conforms to the City's General Plan of Development with the
comment that the community center portion of the Cornerstone Creek project is excluded
from the TIF district.

4. Discuss proposed amendments to the PUD Section of the Zoning Code.
Goellner stated that staff is looking for feedback from the Planning Commission on some
proposed changes to the PUD Section of the Zoning Code. She discussed several past
PUD proposals and the challenges with the current PUD process including: a
cumbersome timeframe, difficulties in coordinating multiple plan submissions, and a
decreased focus on a public purpose when approving a PUD. She stated that the goals
for the proposed changes are to simplify the process and clarify the requirements
because creating a new PUD and approving a major amendment to an existing PUD can
take six months. She explained that with the proposed new process it could still take up to
six months to create a new PUD, but it would reduce the time it takes for a major
amendment to three months. A minor amendment would take approximately two months,
and administrative amendments would be allowed.
Goellner referred to the current PUD amendment requirements and stated that the
proposed new requirements would be more specific and more generous with the projects
that qualify as a minor amendment. She stated that staff is proposing that a major
amendment be required when the proposed amendment significantly affects the original
design and intention, and requires more public review. Minor amendments would be
required when there are less significant changes and the use meets the underlying zoning
requirements and administrative amendments would be allowed when the proposed
amendment is in regard to items already reviewed administratively if the property is not in
a PUD such as: utilities, interior building remodels, grading and erosion control, outdoor
lighting, landscaping, and architectural elevations. She added that if the original design
intent is proposed to be altered, staff can deem the amendment a minor amendment and
the applicant would go through the minor amendment process instead.
Kluchka said he likes the idea of streamlining the process, but he wants to make sure the
City is getting something better out of it. Waldhauser said one of the things the City would
get out of it is the streamlining of the process for staff as well, and that PUD plans would
be submitted at the beginning of the process with much more detail. Segelbaum agreed
with streamlining the process and said that many times there isn't much difference
between the preliminary plans and the final plans.
Kluchka said if the City streamlines the process he wants to improve the quality of the
process at the same time. He said he would like the Planning Commission to have more
specific direction or powers in order to remove some of the vague issues that they've
been told aren't in their purview, or have felt pushed to approve in the past. Segelbaum
said he worries about a proposal similar to the Menard's PUD where it was considered a
major amendment, even though the entire site was demolished and rebuilt. He said that
type of situation is different than a proposal to just add a new wing on a building like the
recent Struthers PUD amendment. Baker asked if there might be a way to reduce the
definition of a PUD amendment and when necessary, require the creation of a new PUD.
Cera said he is bothered by how close a major PUD amendment is to a creating a new
PUD. He asked if the City can consider some major PUD amendment proposals as new
PUD proposals instead.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
August 24, 2015
Page 10
Johnson asked how this will change customer behavior so the PUD plans submitted are
what is expected up front. Goellner said the proposed PUD changes will give staff the
ability to get applicants to provide better detail at the beginning of the process.
Segelbaum said it would be asking the developer to invest a lot up front without hearing
from any City officials. Goellner stated that developers enjoy the certainty and they expect
having to submit detailed plans.
The Commission discussed various proposed uses that could be considered a major PUD
amendments versus a minor PUD amendment such as the change in use, the
introduction of a new use, changes in massing, changes in impervious surface, and traffic
issues.
Kluchka said the key issue to him is who is defining what a significant change in building
elevation is and how "original design intent" is defined. Goellner explained that the Code
currently has language regarding "good design" but there is no definition of design or any
design guidelines. Kluchka said he always has to remind the Commission that they need
to look at design and he would love the PUD requirements to have "more teeth" when it
comes to reviewing design. Goellner stated that creating design guidelines were not part
of the direction given by City Council. Baker said the Commission should push back at the
City Council when it comes to design standards. Waldhauser questioned if construction
standards could be imposed on all PUDs similar to the standards in the 1-394 Mixed Use
Zoning District. Kluchka stated that the City doesn't need to have design standards to
have good architecture. Goellner said she thinks the term "good design" is too subjective
and would be hard to enforce without have some specific standards. Cera stated that it
might be easier to say what materials the City doesn't want to see used.
Waldhauser referred to the proposal to allow an amendment to be considered a minor
amendment if it is a use that is permitted in the underlying zoning district. She said that
concerns her because a PUD could be approved for one use and the applicant could
switch to another use that might not have been approved in the first place. She added
that she would also like the Planning Commission to see amendments that include
changes in landscaping and changes that bring the amount of impervious surface up to
the maximum amount allowed.
Kluchka said he would like to require that applicants have a neighborhood
communications plan in place before, during and after a project is built, and he would also
like to require that HVAC systems be screened, and that a snow removal plan is
submitted at the time of application. Zimmerman stated those items might be better as a
conditions of approval on a case-by-case basis rather than a requirement at the time a
PUD amendment application is submitted. He explained that the feedback staff is looking
for at this point is what would trigger a minor PUD amendment versus a major PUD
amendment. Kluchka noted that the word "encouraged" is used in the PUD language and
he would like that changed to "required." He said he would also like to add language
about "architectural significance" as well as requiring color and sample boards to be
submitted.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Segelbaum asked the Commission how they felt about the public amenities list that was
in the agenda packet. Waldhauser asked how the point system works. Goellner explained
that some cities give public amenities a point value and require developers to have a
certain number of points. Segelbaum noted that applicants could contribute to a fund for
public amenities instead. Baker said he found the list very compelling. Kluchka
questioned if language regarding architectural significance could be added to a public
amenity list. Cera said he is not sure a point system is the way to go. Segelbaum agreed
and said the list they were shown goes too far. Waldhauser asked if the City could just
enforce the public benefit requirement it currently has. Baker said he thinks the City
should be asking for more public benefits and set the bar higher. Segelbaum expressed
concern about the public amenities requirement squelching development and said he is
worried developers will just go elsewhere.
Johnson questioned the problem they are trying to fix. Baker said the City isn't getting any
public benefit when approving PUDs. Johnson questioned if the City really wants the
things listed on the example in the agenda packet. Baker said he thinks Golden Valley
would be a better community if it had gotten some of the things on that list and that they
haven't done a good job in getting something back from PUDs. Segelbaum noted that the
City gets property developed that it wants developed. Baker said he'd like to hold out for
better. Cera suggested the list focus on outdoor public amenities rather than indoor
amenities. Kluchka suggested the public amenities include things like open space,
community gardens, affordable housing, public art, informational displays, preservation,
LEED certification, and bicycle/pedestrian connections. Blum said he would like
bicycle/pedestrian connections to be required, not optional. Kluchka said he would also
like to find ways to encourage healthy living such as stairs instead of elevators.
Goellner said she would work on incorporating the items discussed into proposed new
Zoning Code language and bring it back to the Planning Commission to review.
5. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City
Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings
Zimmerman stated that the City Council has been engaged in the light rail station area
planning and the municipal consent processes and will be scheduling a workshop and
another open house in the future.
Waldhauser asked if the City is behind in starting work on the upcoming Comprehensive
Plan Amendment process. Zimmerman explained that work will start on the
Comprehensive Plan Update when Metropolitan Council Systems Statements have been
received.

Request: Waiver from Section 11.46, Institutional Zoning District, Subd. 9(B)(6)
Accessory Uses — Height Limitations
• 2 ft. taller than the allowed 10 ft. to a height of 12 ft. from the floor to the top
plate.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a detached garage.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.46, Institutional Zoning District, Subd. 9(B)(8)
Accessory Uses — Size of Accessory Structure
• 152 sq. ft. more than the allowed 1,000 sq. ft. of accessory structure space.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a detached garage.
Goellner referred to a location map of the property and explained the applicant's request
to construct a 32 ft. x 36 ft. garage along with a 36 ft. wide x 180 ft. long driveway with
parking spaces in the front yard setback area along the south property line. She discussed
the requested variances and stated that the Zoning Code requires the entire front yard
setback area to be planted and landscaped and contain no off-street parking. She referred
to the proposed garage and stated that the applicant is proposing to build it 10 ft. from the
south property line rather than the required 35 ft. and 45 ft. from the east property line
rather than the required 50 ft. The applicant is also proposing that the garage be 12 ft. in
height rather than the allowed 10 ft.
Goellner stated that the applicant has said his unique circumstances are the need for
indoor storage of materials and vehicles, the fact that the property has two front yards, the
need for additional parking and that the proposed location of the garage will have less
visual impact than it would elsewhere on the property.
Goellner stated that staff is supportive of a garage addition and the proposed 12 ft. of
height, but would like to see it placed in a conforming location, not in the location
proposed. She said staff is also supportive of allowing a driveway to connect to the
proposed new garage, but would like the applicant to provide a 10 ft. wide landscaped
buffer and would like the driveway to be 24 ft. in width rather than the proposed 36 ft.
Nelson asked what the setback requirement would be along the south property line if that
were considered to be a side yard rather than a front yard. Goellner said the side yard
setback requirements on this property are 50 ft.
Baker asked if there is a minimum width requirement for driveways. Goellner said 11 ft. is
the minimum width necessary for functionality, however the City's Engineering Department
would like the driveway to be 18 ft. in width at a maximum. She added that the intention of
the Zoning Code requirement is to keep the front yard setback area landscaped.
Baker asked if there are any topography issues on the property. Goellner said there are
significant slopes on the north, west, and east sides of the property. She reiterated that
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
August 25, 2015
Page 3
staff feels the general location of the proposed garage is ok, they would just like it to be
built within the buildable area. Maxwell asked if the property is flat enough to move the
garage further to the north. Goellner said yes.
Nelson referred to the existing shed on the property and asked if it is located in a
conforming location. Goellner said no, and added that there are also some parking spaces
on the southwest corner of the property that are non-conforming.
Pastor David Kent, Applicant, said he feels this proposal is a positive thing and will be an
improvement over what is there now. He stated that the area where they are proposing
the new driveway is currently a gravel area where grass won't grow and has been used as
a driveway for several years. He explained that he would like the proposed driveway to be
36 ft. in width to allow for parking spaces. He said it has been mentioned that they could
park in the street when necessary, but he remembers when they put in a new driveway
along the west side of the property that neighbors thought there would be too much traffic
on 25th Avenue and the parking would be worse. He said they've considered several other
locations for the proposed garage but the property is too steep or the view from Medicine
Lake would be impacted. He said they want to keep the costs to a minimum and where
they are proposing to place the new garage would only affect one neighbor and that
neighbor has been supportive of the project. He added that the 5 ft. variance from the east
property may not be needed, he just wants to make sure he has enough space. He stated
that if they move the entire garage further north they would require more driveway space
which would take away more of the open space.
Nelson stated that she is supportive of the variance from the height requirements and the
variance from the east side yard property line, but noted that if the garage was moved
further to the north there would still be a large area of open space. Maxwell agreed and
said the Board doesn't generally favor front yard variance requests, especially one this
large. He said he would like to find a compromise by moving the garage further to the
north so a front yard variance along the south property line wouldn't be necessary.
Kent stated that their church is growing and if they move the proposed garage further to
the north it would impact any future additions to the church building and they would have
to go through the variance process again. He said it would not benefit anyone to move the
garage further to the north. He reiterated that this proposal is a positive thing and said he
doesn't really consider the south area of their property to be a front yard.
Nelson explained that the Board is bound by statutes that they have to follow and the
Board needs to remain consistent with the variances they grant. Kent said that codes
change over time and he is asking to Board to consider this individual case in a fair and
equitable manner.
Perich said he thinks there is a lot of space on the property on which to build the proposed
garage. He said he is struggling with the idea that it can't be moved further to the north.
Maxwell agreed and said the proposed garage strikes him as being too close to the south
property line. Baker said one of the criteria used when considering variances is that the
need for the variance isn't being caused by landowner. He said the applicant is choosing
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
August 25, 2015
Page 4
not to build the garage in a conforming location further to the north because of possible
future expansion of the church building. Kent said he understands the Board has a job to
do, but they've paid a fee to come to them and make their case. He asked the Board what
they are proposing he should do. Baker said he would propose that the garage be
constructed within the buildable area. Nelson reiterated that she thinks the Board would
be supportive of the variances from the east property line and the variance regarding the
height. Kent noted that the proposed driveway would be in violation as well.
Baker asked if the garage could be reoriented and accessed from 25th Avenue. Maxwell
noted that there is no street right-of-way where the garage is proposed to be located. He
stated that he would be supportive of the garage being closer than 35 ft. to the south
property line, but he feels 10 ft. is too close. Baker agreed that narrowing the driveway
and moving the proposed garage further north might be a good compromise. Kent said he
would be open to the idea of moving the garage further to the north.
Nelson asked if the existing shed on the property would be removed. Kent said yes.
Perich opened the public hearing.
Carl Hoffstedt, 2450 Valders Avenue North, asked about the proposed distance from the
garage to the property line. Goellner stated that the applicant is proposing to locate the
garage 10 ft. away from the south property line. Hoffstedt asked about the proposed
distance from the garage to the existing home to the south Goellner said it would be
approximately 20 ft. Hoffstedt said if that distance is similar to the distance between other
homes in the area, then it should be ok. He asked if the proposed parking spaces would
be parallel parking spaces. Goellner said yes, they would be parallel spaces along the
proposed new driveway. Hoffstedt said he doesn't have a problem with the variance on
the east side of the property or the variance regarding the height of the proposed garage
but he thinks the new driveway will be used more for parking spaces than as a driveway.
He said he supports the proposed new garage because it will clean up the look of the
property. Nelson asked Hoffstedt how big of an issue overflow parking is on Valders
Avenue and 25th Avenue. Hoffstedt said there isn't an issue on Valders Avenue and there
is a little bit of overflow parking on 25th Avenue.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Perich closed the public hearing.
Nelson reiterated that she is ok with the size and height of the proposed garage, with the
variance from the east side property line, and with the driveway being 24 ft. wide, in line
with the garage, but she would like it to be further away from the south property line than
what is proposed. Perich agreed.
Baker asked if a 24 ft. wide driveway would preclude parking. Goellner said it will make
parking difficult. Baker said he is not compelled by the need for additional parking and he
is not sure why staff is recommending that the driveway could be as wide as 24 ft.
Goellner stated that the standard width for a two-way drive aisle is 24 ft.
Maxwell suggested the variance request for the garage and driveway be amended to allow
18 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 17 ft. at their closest point to the front yard

(south) property line. Perich asked Kent if he would be alright with Member Maxwell's
suggested amended variance request. Kent said yes.
Baker asked if the existing Cottonwood trees would be required to be removed. Goellner
said no. Kent added that they may need to be removed and that he would like to put in
trees that would be nicer for the neighborhood.
MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by Nelson and motion carried unanimously to approve the
following variance requests finding that the proposed location of the garage doesn't act
like a front yard, other areas of the property are steep and not buildable, the request is in
accordance with the City's regulations, and it is best to have a driveway in-line with the
garage.
• A driveway with a maximum width of 24 ft. is allowed to be constructed in the front
yard (south) setback area. The driveway shall contain no parking and be set back 17
ft. from the south property line with a 17 ft. landscaped buffer between the driveway
and the property line.
• 18 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 17 ft. at its closest point to the front yard
(south) property line to allow for the construction of a detached garage.
• 5 ft. off of the required 50 ft. to a distance of 45 ft. at its closest point to the side yard
(east) property line to allow for the construction of a detached garage.
• 2 ft. taller than the allowed 10 ft. to a height of 12 ft. from the floor to the top plate to
allow for the construction of a detached garage.
• 152 sq. ft. more than the allowed 1,000 sq. ft. of accessory structure space to allow
for the construction of a detached garage.
III. Other Business
• Review of recently amended Single Family Zoning District (R-1) setback
requirements.
Goellner stated that the City Council recently amended the setback requirements in the
Single Family Zoning District due to questions regarding the interpretation of the Code
language. She showed the Board several examples of recently constructed homes and
explained the amended language which focuses on protecting neighboring homes from
the blockage of light and air, simplifies the language for better comprehension and
administration, and allows for attractive home design by discouraging garage-dominated
front facades and preserving back yard areas.

B. Review Evaluations of Two Past CIP Projects by MN Department of Natural Resources and
MN Board of Water and Soil Resources
Administrator Jester explained that in 2011 the state legislature directed the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources(DNR)and the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources(BWSR)to start evaluating
restoration projects that were completed under the Clean Water Land and Legacy Funds. She said that the
Commission had two projects that were partially funded by those funds in 2010: a Bassett Creek Main Stem
Restoration project and a Plymouth Creek Restoration project.
Administrator Jester reported that in October 2013 she was contacted by Wade Johnson of the DNR,the
project manager of this evaluation program. She explained that Mr. Johnson and another DNR staff member
came out and looked at the projects. She said that she and City staff accompanied the DNR staff on the project
sites visit. Administrator Jester explained that the DNR staff completed evaluation forms,but the BCWMC
did not receive a copy of them until January 2015.
Administrator Jester stated that there were concerns about the outcomes of the evaluations, so BCWMC and
City staff met with DNR and BWSR staff to go through the evaluations. She said there was great two-way
discussion and the DNR and BWSR staff learned about more about limitations of working in urban areas and
City staff,the Commission Engineer, and Administrator learned about things that the DNR and BWSR hope
for in future projects.
Administrator Jester said that the project evaluations were revised and the final evaluations are included in
today's meeting packet. She noted that the evaluations will go into a report to the Evaluations Panel in
September and then a final report will go to the state legislature. She noted that BCWMC staff learned that the
Commission should involve state agencies earlier in the CIP process to hear about the agencies' desired
outcomes of the projects.Administrator Jester emphasized that the evaluation is not a punitive action and
instead its goal is to make future projects better. Administrator Jester said that a takeaway for the Commission
is that it needs to get project information to the right agency staff people earlier in the process and now that is
staffs plan. She said that no action by the Board is required.
Commissioner Mueller commented that he sees two issues raised by the evaluation: first,how can future
projects be designed better and second,how to ensure that during project construction the contractors follow
the plans and specifications. Mr. Asche pointed out that regarding the rock vane described in the evaluation,
the City of Plymouth knows it was installed correctly but over time moved out of place. He said that the City
sees that as a long-term maintenance issue.Mr. Asche stated that the project was a very successful project and
3
BCWMC July 16, 2015, Meeting Minutes (Revised)
meets a lot of the Commission's and City's goals,including flood protection,and that the effectiveness of the
project is very high.
Commissioner Black remarked she thinks the Commission's Technical Advisory Committee(TAC)should
discuss whether the Commission's process and procedures could be modified in light of the evaluation report
and if so,how.
There was discussion about the evaluation criteria and the objectives that the projects were measured against.
Commissioner Welch commented that he found this evaluation disturbing and asked if Engineer Chandler had
takeaways from the evaluation and the meeting with the evaluators. Engineer Chandler said that there is not a
lot of public land available for use in the BCWMC projects and because there is so much work in this type of
constrained area,the projects have to utilize more structure in its projects. She also said that in order to affect
change,the input such as provided by the DNR needs to happen earlier in the project.
Commissioner Welch said the evaluation brings up points such as incorrect installation, instability,the
BCWMC should consider alternative methods that would have been constructed with appropriate
geomorphology,and alternatives that work with natural stream processes rather than against them. He said
that some of these points echo things he heard years ago from the Commission's Engineer. Commissioner
Welch said that the Commission could have done something if the Commission had accountability in place
for the constructed project matching the project plans the Commission approved. He said that this issue
absolutely should go to the TAC,and he would like to hear what the TAC would like to do about this. He
would like to know if the TAC thinks the Commission is setting the right objectives for the projects.
Commissioner Welch agreed with the idea of getting agency input early on in the project process,but he said
that in his experience it seems that agency staff may not have time to provide that input.
There was discussion about stormwater drainage and runoff in urban and developed areas,flood protection
goals and initiatives, how urban streams are subject to unnatural conditions,and the need to be able to
construct solutions that work with streams that are subject to unnatural conditions.There was discussion
about the Plymouth Creek's project's beneficial results for Medicine Lake and how future Watershed Outlet
Monitoring Program(WOMP)data should start indicating those positive results.
There was discussion about the positive outcomes of both evaluated projects,positive features of the projects
that were not included in the evaluation report,the learning that the Commission can take away from the
evaluation report,the possible additional project costs and additional time that would be incurred by involving
state agency review into the Commission's project process timeline,how the Commission can learn in
advance what state agency objectives the projects will be measured against,and what next steps the
Commission could take, if any. Upon hearing many recommendations that the issue be sent to the TAC for
discussion,Chair de Lambert directed the TAC to discuss the evaluation report and its implications for the
Commission.
C. Discuss Development of Feasibility Studies for 2017 CIP Projects
Administrator Jester explained that the Commission needs to move forward with ordering feasibility studies
for the two 2017 CIP projects,which will start in 2017 and will span two years. She reported that the City of
Minneapolis is hiring Barr Engineering to do the feasibility study for the Main Stem Channel Restoration
project. Administrator Jester stated that the City of Minneapolis will review Barr Engineering's proposal for
the feasibility study and then the proposal will come to the Commission for review at its August meeting at
which time the Commission would consider entering into an agreement with the City of Minneapolis for the
project.
Administrator Jester announced that the City of Plymouth requests that the Commission direct the feasibility
4
BCWMC July 16, 2015, Meeting Minutes (Revised)
study for the Plymouth Creek restoration project instead of the Commission entering into an agreement with
the City of Plymouth for the feasibility study. She explained that the Commission needs to consider if it wants
to direct the feasibility study,and if it does,how to do so. She described three ways that the Commission
could direct the feasibility study.
Administrator Jester recommended that the Commission handle authorize the Commission Engineer to do the
feasibility study for the Plymouth Creek project.
There was discussion on how the Commission has done feasibility studies in the past. Commissioner Black
noted that by streamlining the feasibility study process by having the Commission Engineer do the study,the
step of having the Commission Engineer review is removed,which limits the amount of input about that study
that the Commission is providing. She wondered if the Commission would want to address that limitation by
getting an outside evaluation of the feasibility study. There was discussion on how such an evaluation could
be cost effective.
Commissioner Welch noted that the Redevelopment Oversight Committee has been a working organization
for many years and if it is still in operation it would need to be included in the public process for the
Minneapolis project.
Alternate Commissioner Scanlan moved to have the Commission Engineer do the feasibility study for the
Plymouth Creek project. Alternate Commissioner Crough seconded the motion.
Mr.Oliver commented that he is very comfortable with this direction,that the Commission built the flood
control project using this model,and that the Commission has been very successful using this model.There
was discussion about where in the project process the Commission will have the opportunity to review the
draft feasibility report, approve the report, and review the draft plans. Mr. LeFevere pointed out that the
Commission doesn't need to make a decision today about having a peer review of the feasibility study or the
scope of the review.
Commissioner Welch moved to amend the motion on the table to include that the Commission will solicit
input from the DNR at the appropriate time. Commissioner Black seconded the motion to amend. Upon a
vote,the motion carried 9-0.
There was a short discussion on getting DNR input. Chair de Lambert called for a vote on the amended
motion. Upon a vote,the motion carried 9-0.
D. Consider Approval of Recommendations from Technical Advisory Committee
Mr. Eckman introduced the project,described how previous Commission comments on the plans have been
addressed,and talked about communicating with homeowners about the project. He reported that two
construction access points are still needed,but staff feels confident that it will obtain these. Mr. Eckman
provided more details on the project.
Upon a vote,the motion carried 7-0[City of Minnetonka absent from vote.City of Minneapolis abstained
from vote].

3. H. Second Consideration -Amending Section 4.01 regarding Building Code Regulations
Prepared By
Jerry Frevel, Building Official
Summary
The City is required to periodically update the City Code reference to the State Building Code and
the various components that make up the State Building Code. When changes to the code are
formally adopted,the City is required to revise the City Code accordingly. The proposed ordinance
amendment is designed to bring the Section and references up to date. The proposed ordinance
differs from the current City Code format in that it's perpetuating in nature. As such, when changes
to the State Building Code are adopted, the perpetual ordinance automatically incorporates such
changes without any need for formal Council action. The only exception would be any optional
appendix chapters of the State Building Code, for example the special fire protection systems that
cities may choose to adopt. The special fire protection chapter was previously adopted as part of
our current City Code.
The City Council adopted the ordinance on its first consideration on September 16, 2015. If the
Council adopts the ordinance on its second consideration, it will be effective upon publication.

Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE City Engineer
Summary
As development and redevelopment occurs throughout the community, Staff has received an
increasing number of requests to establish temporary no parking zones adjacent to these
construction sites. Many of the requests for temporary no parking are associated with residential
construction where parked vehicles are on both sides of the roadway, resulting in difficult
passage for cars, and very difficult passage for busses, garbage trucks and emergency vehicles.
Section 9.06, Subdivision 2. Of Golden Valley City Code states:
The City Manager or his/her designee, when authorized by resolution of the City Council,
designate certain streets, blocks, or portions of streets or blocks as prohibited or limited
parking zones and shall mark by appropriate signs any zones so established.
A blanket resolution allowing the City Manager to establish temporary no parking zones will allow
staff to respond in a timely manner as congestion created by on street parking near construction
sites creates unsafe roadway situations.

taxes upon parcel and all thereof. The total amount of each such assessment not prepaid
shall be payable in equal annual principal installments extending over a period of years, as
indicated in each case. The first of said installments, together with interest on the entire
assessment for the period of January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, will be payable
with property taxes collectible in 2016.
4. Prior to certification of the assessment to the County Auditor, the owner of any
lot, piece or parcel of land assessed hereby may at any time pay the whole such

Resolution 15-81 October 6, 2015
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS
FOR DELINQUENT GOLDEN VALLEY UTILITY BILLING
1. The amount proper and necessary to be specially assessed at this time for
various public improvements:
Project Years Interest Rate First Year Levy Total Assessed
2015
Delinquent 1 5% 2016 $369,467.87
Utility Billing
against every assessable lot, piece, or parcel of land affected thereby has been duly
calculated upon the basis of benefits, without regard to cash valuation, in accordance with
the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and notice has been duly published, as
required by law that this Council would meet to hear, consider and pass upon all objections,
if any, and said proposed assessment has at all time since its filing been open for public
inspection and an opportunity has been given to all interested persons to present their
objections if any, to such proposed assessments.
2. This Council, having heard and considered all objections so presented, finds that
each of the lots, pieces and parcels of land enumerated in the proposed assessment was
and is specially benefited by the construction of said improvement in not less than the
amount of the assessment set opposite the description of each such lot, piece and parcel of
land respectively, and such amount so set out is hereby levied against each of the
respective lots, pieces and parcels of land therein described.
3. The proposed assessments are hereby adopted and confirmed as the proper
assessments for each of said lots, pieces and parcels of land respectively, and the
assessment against each parcel, together with interest at the rate of five (5) percent per
annum accruing on the full amount thereof unpaid, shall be a lien concurrent with general
taxes upon parcel and all thereof. The total amount of each such assessment not prepaid
shall be payable in equal annual principal installments extending over a period of years, as
indicated in each case. The first of said installments, together with interest on the entire
assessment for the period of January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, will be payable
with property taxes collectible in 2016.
4. Prior to certification of the assessment to the County Auditor, the owner of any
lot, piece or parcel of land assessed hereby may at any time pay the whole such
assessment, with interest to the date of payment, to the City Treasurer, but no interest shall
be charged if such payment is made by November 13, 2015.
Resolution 15-81 - continued October 6, 2015
5. The City Clerk shall, as soon as may be, prepare and transmit to the County
Auditor a certified duplicate of the assessment roll, with each installment and interest on
each unpaid assessment set forth separately, to be extended upon the proper tax lists of
the County and the County Auditor shall thereafter collect said assessment in the manner
provided by law.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
October 6, 2015
Agenda Item
6. A. METRO Blue Line Extension Update
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Project Summary
Representatives from the Project Office will attend the Council/Manager meeting on October 13
to discuss environmental issues, the municipal consent process, and how these will dovetail with
the release of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). A public open house at City Hall
will be held from 5:30 to 7 pm on Wednesday, October 28, to discuss environmental issues
associated with the light rail line.
New (revised) ridership numbers for the Blue Line Extension were presented at the Corridor
Management Committee (CMC) on October 1. A number of adjustments along the line resulted in
no net gain or loss in projected riders and an average weekday estimate of 27,000 riders in 2040.
Golden Valley Road station is projected to contribute 900 riders per day; Plymouth Avenue
station is projected to contribute 250 riders per day. This model assumed a 100 stall park and ride
at Golden Valley Road.
In advance of a looming decision on the number and location of stations in Golden Valley, the
Project Office provided both quantitative and qualitative comparisons of the Golden Valley Road
and Plymouth Avenue stations. This information was provided to the CMC and will be considered
in concert with the revised scope and cost estimates at the October 29 CMC meeting. A decision
on the station question is expected at the November 12 CMC meeting.
As the project approaches the conclusion of the Project Development phase of work, additional
meetings have been added to the calendar. The current projected schedule is below:
