Melissa Sonnek, Planning Intern
Summary
Peaceful Valley Montessori has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing a child
care/preschool facility to locate at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway in a Business and Professional
Office zoning district. Child care facilities require a Conditional Use Permit in this District. The
building at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway was previously occupied by Trustone Financial Federal
Credit Union.
The applicant has operated a child care facility at a different property (5530 Golden Valley Road)
since 2010, where a previous CUP was approved. As child care demands continue to grow,
Peaceful Valley would like to be able to serve more families. The Department of Human Services
has issued a license that allows the applicant to provide care to 30 children in the current facility.
Within the new facility, the applicant plans to have two infant rooms, two toddler rooms, and
three preschool rooms. A fenced-in outdoor recreational area and an additional sidewalk are
planned for the south side of the building. The new facility will be built to a capacity of 160
children, with 65 children expected in January 2016 when the facility is planned to open. Upon
inspection of the new facility, the Minnesota Department of Health will update Peaceful Valley
Montessori's license to serve a maximum capacity of 160 children.
A neighborhood meeting was held at proposed child care facility on the evening of Monday,
September 14. There were no neighbors in attendance.
The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the proposal. Questions regarding
driveway access, tree preservation, and traffic safety were addressed by the applicant at the
informal public hearing on September 28. Specifically, the Commission felt the proposed use was
in compliance with the ten factors in the City Code that determine the eligibility of a conditional
use, subject to the following conditions:
1. The site plan prepared by Paul Meyer Architects and received on September 17, 2015, shall
become a part of this approval.
2. The Montessori school/childcare facility shall be limited the amount specified by the
Minnesota Department of Health and no greater than 160 clients.
3. All necessary licenses shall be obtained by the Minnesota Department of Health and/or the
Minnesota Department of Education before schooling and childcare operations may
commence. Proof of such licensing shall be presented to the Planning Manager.
4. If any future changes to the site are made on the north side of the building, the owner will be
required to remove any driveway entrances it does not intend to use for vehicle access and
replace them with curb and gutter to match into the existing curb line. The owner will also be
required to extend the sidewalk from the building to the north in order to connect to the City
sidewalk on Country Club Drive.
5. The hours of normal operation shall be Monday through Friday from 7 am to 6 pm with
occasional events on evenings and weekends.
6. All improvements to the building shall meet the City's Building and Fire Code requirements.
7. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
8. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.
9. Failure to comply with any of the terms of this permit shall be grounds for revocation.

Conditional Use Permit: Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy
Part b: Narrative description:
Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy intends to use the property at 6500 Olson Memorial Hwy
for a childcare/preschool facility with the capacity of 160 students. In the space, there will be
two infant rooms, two toddler rooms, and three preschool rooms, as well as a large motor area.
Each classroom will meet or exceed the minimum 35 sq. ft per child (which is required by
Department of Human Services) and will also include the standard requirement of sinks and
toilets.
Administrative offices, a staff lounge and prep kitchen will also be included in the facility.
There will be two outdoor environments, one for the toddlers and one for the preschoolers. The
outdoor space on the South side of the building will be designated for use by the infants and
toddlers, while the outdoor space on the North side of the building will be used by the
preschool children. We intend to plant a garden and fruit orchard in the South side play area.
Each outdoor space will be fenced for the safety of the children.
Hours of operation will be Monday-Friday, 7:00 am-6:OOpm. On occasion, the space may be used
on nights and weekends for parent education classes or conferences.
Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy will have nine full time and ten part time employees. The
parking lot on the East side of the building will be designated for employee parking. The West
parking lot will remain available for parents and will have at least 27 parking spots available and
meets ADA requirements for parking.
It is our understanding that the City of Golden Valley intends to re-route the traffic pattern
on/near the property at 6500 Olson Memorial Hwy. This will be a benefit to our clients, as
there will be direct access to/from the highway. The time of day that traffic will be heaviest is
8:15-9:OOam and 3:15-4:OOpm. With a large parking lot to accommodate this, it should not
impact local traffic patterns.
Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy has been in business in Golden Valley for 6 years. The
families at our school consider PVMA a community school and we are proud to be serving the
families of Golden Valley. We have an extensive wait list and are excited to be able to serve
more children and families in the community. With our extensive Montessori experience, both
with our current facility and working at other Montessori schools, we find that the business
model that we are proposing is strong and viable. By creating a larger Montessori school, PVMA
will add to the charm and tight knit community that Golden Valley provides.

Valley Montessori Academy 46500 Olson Memorial Highway
Applicant: Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy
Addresses: 6500 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To allow for a childcare/preschool facility in the Business and
PrPfessional Offices Zoning District.
Sonnek stated that the property is guided Commercial/Office on the General Land Use
Plan Map and is zoned Business and Professional Offices. She explained the applicant's
request to relocate their existing childcare/preschool facility to this location. She referred
to a site plan of the property and discussed the proposed site access, visitor parking,
employee parking, main entrance and play area. She added that the applicant will also be
constructing a sidewalk on the southwest corner of their property to provide egress from
the building and noted that the applicant is not proposing any changes to the exterior of
the building.
Sonnek referred to the parking on the property and explained that the requirement for the
proposed use is 1 space for every 6 participants and the property will have a surplus of
parking with 89 stalls. She discussed the traffic generated by the proposed use and
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Page 2
stated that staff does not anticipate a significant change in traffic from the previous use
(TruStone Financial) but rather a shift in peak hours to 8 am and 4 pm.
Sonnek stated that the applicant is expected to serve 65 children when they open in
January with a total capacity of 160 children. She stated that based on review of the
application materials and evaluation of the factors used when considering a Conditional
Use Permit staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request.
Kluchka referred to the recommended condition regarding the number of pijelats allowed
and questioned if the City needs to limit the number of clients since theistate`i nse sets
the number of clients the applicant is allowed to have. ;l ##,
iil� '14
Waldhauser stated that there were plans for a play area on the'north side ofithe!building
and asked if that is still an option. Sonnek stated that the applicant's current proposal only
has one play area on the south side of the property. ;;t,
Segelbaum referred to the three entrances along Country Club Drive, two of which appear
to be access to the former bank drive-through lanes and asked' if there is another use
planned for the entrances. Sonnek noted that two of the tn`ree entrances provide access
to the employee parking area. Segelbaum aV'lli ked'$fi`there is I us traffic. Sonnek said she
will defer that question to the applicant. ,ili�' ill ,

did
Segelbaum asked if there are other zoning di$tncts that allow childcare as a permitted
use. Zimmerman stated that childcare is;on1 ;;allowed as a conditional use in certain
zoning districts and is not a perry itted use in any district.
Kluchka asked if there will be a communication plan with the parents regarding which
streets should be used for access. Sonnek said that has not been discussed with the
applicant.
Johnson referred to the proposed new sidewalk on the southwest corner and asked if the
large tree currently in that location will be removed. Kluchka asked how much of the
sidewalk e?ci,t how much is new, and where it will go. Sonnek said 491 square feet of
sidewalk will; 6'installed. Zimmerman added that the sidewalk is on the applicant's
property' id ilrequired'for egress from the building.
Katie Wagoner, Applicant, stated that their plan, due to overwhelming demand, is to
expand from their 30 student facility to this new location. She said their vision is to serve
families with different aged children in one facility. She explained that parents will pick up
and drop off their kids and that there will be no bus traffic.
Cera referred to the existing drive through on the north side of the property and asked if
there are future plans for that area. Summer Picha, Applicant, stated that that they would
like to create a second playground area in the future but it will currently be left as is.
Waldhauser referred to the proposed fence on the south side of the property and asked if
it is meant for privacy or for safety. Wagoner stated that it will be a six foot tall fence to

provide a noise buffer, privacy, and a secret garden. She referred to Commissioner
Johnson's question regarding the tree currently located near where the proposed
sidewalk will be and stated that the tree will remain. Kluchka noted that the fence around
the proposed orchard area will be chain link and asked why it couldn't be the same
material that will be used along the playground. Wagoner said they want people to be
able to see the orchard and that the privacy fence is for the secret garden area. Kluchka
said the chain link fence may detract from the aesthetics.
Cera noted that the applicant currently has 30 clients and will be Iicensed;$;pr1; 60 children
and asked if they have a five year plan. Picha said they have a two year plan.'Wa asked
if there are enough qualified teachers. Wagoner stated that there is a Montessori training
facility in St. Paul so the area is saturated with qualified teachers. ''
Segelbaum referred to the three access points and questioned wh4route people will take
and if it would make more sense to enter in the middle driveway. Picha stated that the
middle driveway accesses the existing drive through and doesn't allow access to the
parent parking area.
Kluchka asked about signage. Picha said they would like to use the existing time and
temperature sign and change the existing sign on!ithe building to say "your neighborhood
Montessori" instead of "your neighborhoodic'redit union."
Segelbaum asked about the existing vault. Wagoner said it will be used for storage.
Blum asked the applicants if they've given any thought to additional landscaping along
Highway 55. Picha said they haven't thought about it but they will consider it in the future.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
Linda Loomis, 6677 Olson Memorial Highway, said she would like to ask the Planning
Commission to support this use. She said it is a great re-use of the property and she is
excited that the applicants are able to expand in Golden Valley.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Segelbaum closed the public
hearing.
Waldhauser said this proposal does seem to be a good use for this attractive property.
She added that she is not fond of a solid wood fence.
Baker said he has expressed concern about Conditional Use Permits not benefitting the
City but this proposal clearly does and he supports it.
Kluchka said he would like to discuss requiring a Highway 55/Douglas Drive
communications plan. He said he is proposing the clients be told that they shouldn't be
using Country Club Drive because it is a dangerous intersection. Zimmerman noted that
that exit will be closed as part of the Douglas Drive reconstruction project. Segelbaum
said making the conclusion about this intersection may not be a good thing for the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 28, 2015
Page 4
Planning Commission as a body to state as a part of this Conditional Use Permit request.
Kluchka reiterated that he would like some sort of communication in place to avoid issues
involving this dangerous intersection especially during rush hour. Cera said he agrees
with Kluchka that this is a dangerous intersection, but there are other intersections in the
City that are just as dangerous and he thinks it is up to the Street Department and the
Police Department to decide how to handle dangerous intersections. He added that he
doesn't think it is a condition that should be put on the approval of this proposal. Baker
also agreed that it is dangerous, but he would not support a condition regarding a
communication plan. Segelbaum recommended that the applicant study,andwatch the
traffic at that intersection and to the extent it makes sense to communicate anyissues to
their clients. Blum stated that after the intersection is closed the issue will be resolved. He
added that 9 full time and 10 part time jobs will be on site, and theiCity willbe keeping
and creating jobs and will allow families access to quality childcare.
Cera referred to the condition regarding the number of clientslalloAed and asked if the
language should be changed to match whatever the State will allow. Zimmerman said the
City might not want the number to be as high as the Staie'may allow because there could
be issues related to parking. Cera suggested the condition be'amended to state that the
applicant is limited to 160 children or the numberapproved by the Department of Health,
whichever number is lower. Baker said he thinksihe applicant could come back and
amend their Conditional Use Permit in the future. Segelbaum agreed. Waldhauser said
she would like to avoid requiring limits for no reason. Segelbaum said that 160 children is
the maximum number the State will,allpw per the square footage of the space. Cera said
if the use becomes larger he would'want there to be a one way entrance and exit.

approval of a Conditional Use Permit at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway to allow for a
childcare/preschool facility in theBusiness and Professional Offices Zoning District

Subject: Informal Public Hearing, Conditional Use Permit 140—Allowing for a Child Care
Facility in a Business and Professional Offices Zoning District—6500 Olson Memorial
Highway— Peaceful Valley Montessori, Applicant
Summary
Peaceful Valley Montessori has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing a child
care/preschool facility to locate at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway. This property is zoned for
Business and Professional Offices. Child care facilities require a Conditional Use Permit in this
District. The building at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway was previously occupied by Trustone
Financial Federal Credit Union.
The subject property is bounded by Olson Memorial Highway to the south with access to Country
Club Drive to the north. There is Light Industrial use to the north, Institutional use to the west,
and Single Family Residential to the south. The site can be accessed from Country Club Drive
through three driveways facing to the north of the site.
The applicant has operated a child care facility at a different property (5530 Golden Valley Road)
since 2010, where a previous CUP was approved. As child care demands continue to grow,
Peaceful Valley would like to be able to serve more families. The Department of Human Services
has issued a license that allows the applicant to provide care to 30 children in the current facility.
Within the new facility, the applicant plans to have two infant rooms, two toddler rooms, and
three preschool rooms. A fenced-in outdoor recreational area and an additional sidewalk are
planned for the south side of the building. The new facility will be built to a capacity of 160
children, with 65 children expected in January 2016 when the facility is planned to open. Upon
inspection of the new facility, the Minnesota Department of Health will update Peaceful Valley
Montessori's license to serve a maximum capacity of 160 children.
The applicant plans to utilize the parking spaces built by the previous owner of the building.
According to the City Zoning Code, the use of child care requires 1 parking space for each 6
participants. The building is being designed for a capacity of up to 160 children, which requires 27
parking stalls. The applicant has surpassed this requirement by providing 89 parking stalls.
As part of the reconstruction of Douglas Drive in 2016 and 2017, access to and from Country Club
Drive will be removed and Country Club Drive will terminate in a cul-de-sac at its eastern end.
The current right-in access to Country Club Drive from Olson Memorial Highway will be
augmented with right-out access. These changes are not anticipated to significantly affect access
to the site.
A neighborhood meeting was held at proposed child care facility on the evening of Monday,
September 14. There were no neighbors in attendance.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: As the Peaceful Valley Montessori transitions
into their new building, they need this facility to continue educating their established and
potential future student base.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: A child care use is allowed as a conditional use
within the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District.
3. Effect on Property Values: Staff anticipates the introduction of this use would have no
impact on the surrounding property values.
4. Effect on Traffic: Staff does not anticipate any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding
areas based on the trips generated by this proposed use.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposed use will employ nine full-time
and ten part-time employees on site.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed use may result in a slight increase in noise as a
result of more children using the outdoor play area, but any increase is anticipated to have
minimal impact.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an
increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: Due to the fact that the applicant does not intend on redesigning the
footprint of the building, but rather the interior design and layout, staff does not anticipate
any negative impacts on the visual quality of the property.
10. Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other negative
effects caused by the proposed use.

ORDINANCE NO. 581, 2ND SERIES
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE

6500 Olson Memorial Highway
Peaceful Valley Montessori, Applicant
The City Council for the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1 . City Code Chapter 11 entitled "Land Use Regulations (Zoning)" is
amended in Section 11.10, Subd. 2, and Section 11.45, by approving a Conditional Use
Permit for a certain tract of land at 6500 Olson Memorial Highway, thereby allowing a child
care facility in the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District.
This Conditional Use Permit is approved based on the findings of the Planning
Commission pursuant to City Code Section 11.80, Subd. 2(G), which findings are hereby
adopted and incorporated herein as follows:
1. The applicant has demonstrated that there is a need for additional capacity at Peaceful
Valley Montessori School. The facility in this location will accommodate that additional
need.
2. The proposed child care facility is consistent with the General Land Use Plan Map.
3. Staff anticipates that the introduction of this use would have no negative impact on the
surrounding property values.
4. The number of trips generated by the proposed use will have no negative impacts to the
surrounding area.
5. The proposed use will employ approximately nine full-time and ten part-time employees
on site, which is compatible with the size of the property and its location within the City.
6. The proposed use may result in a slight increase in noise due to the addition of an
outdoor play area, but any increase is not anticipated to cause a negative impact.
7. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Since the changes to the exterior of the building are very limited, negative impacts on
the visual quality of the property are not anticipated. The building's character is
consistent with other buildings on Country Club Drive and Olson Memorial Highway.
10. No other negative effects are anticipated by the proposed use.
This Conditional Use Permit is subject to all of the terms of the permit to be issued
including, but not limited to the following specific conditions:
1 . The site plan prepared by Paul Meyer Architects and received on September 17, 2015,
shall become a part of this approval.
2. The Montessori school/childcare facility shall be limited the amount specified by the
Minnesota Department of Health and no greater than 160 clients.
3. All necessary licenses shall be obtained by the Minnesota Department of Health and/or
the Minnesota Department of Education before schooling and childcare operations may
commence. Proof of such licensing shall be presented to the Planning Manager.
4. If any future changes to the site are made on the north side of the building, the owner
will be required to remove any driveway entrances it does not intend to use for vehicle
access and replace them with curb and gutter to match into the existing curb line. The
Ordinance No. 581 - continued
owner will also be required to extend the sidewalk from the building to the north in order
to connect to the City sidewalk on Country Club Drive.
5. The hours of normal operation shall be Monday through Friday from 7 am to 6 pm with
occasional events on evenings and weekends.
6. All improvements to the building shall meet the City's Building and Fire Code
requirements.
7. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
8. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or
laws with authority over this development.
9. Failure to comply with any of the terms of this permit shall be grounds for revocation.
Section 2. The tract of land affected by this ordinance is legally described as follows:
