:�>.
Applicant: Jewish Earr��Iy & Children's Service of Minneapolis
Address: 5905 Golderi Yalley Road
Purpose: ' To allow for accessory retail sales incidental to permitted uses in a
L�c�ht Industrial zoning district.
Goellner explain�d the appticant's request to allow accessory retail sales consisting of a
thrift store and foa�l,shelf at 5905 Golden Valley Road incidental to office and warehouse
uses in the same building. She stated that the property is zoned and designated Light
Industrial and that accessory retail sales conducted in an area less than 10% of the
building's gross floor area are allowed with a Conditional Use Permit. She noted that the
building is 59,966 square feet in size. The proposed thrift shop would be 3,301 square
feet in size and the food shelf would be 1,863 square feet in size which equates to 8.6%
of the gross floor area.
Goellner stated that Jewish Family & Children's Services (JFCS) will have up to 125
employees and that they will be leasing space to PRISM for the food shelf which will have
12 employees and up to 12 volunteers. She stated there will be approximately 30 visitors
per day to the food shelf and approximately 70 visitors per day to the thrift store. Several
of the visits will include stops in both the food shelf and thrift store in the same trip. She

added that the hours of operation for the food shelf will be Monday from 11 am to 7 pm,
Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 am to 4 pm, Thursday from 9 am to 2 pm and they will
be closed Friday through Sunday. The thrift store hours will be Monday from 9 am to 7
pm, Tuesday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm and the first Saturday of the month from
10 am to 2 pm. Kluchka asked if JFCS and PRISM will be the only tenants in the building.
Goellner said yes.
Goellner referred to the parking requirements for the site and explained that 201 parking
spaces and 11 bicycle parking spaces are required. There are 181 existing parking
spaces and 199 proposed parking spaces. She stated the staff will review the parking
plan again prior to the issuance of a building permit but she is confi�ent the applicant will
be able to provide the required parking spaces.

;�
Goellner stated that 7 people attended the neighborhood meetirrg�wh�ch was held on
March 7. Discussion at that meeting included traffic, speeding,,pa�`k��g, ex��cted activity,
and hours of operation, among other topics. Goellner noted tha�the Pt�I��'Department is
aware of the speeding issues and has been doing enforcement in the a�ea. She noted
that the City's Traffic Safety Committee will be discussirig the issu�s and that speeding is
an existing issue that was not caused by the intres�iuction of this proposed use.
:.
Goellner discussed the traffic volume and explained�#hat or��.average, approximately 100-
�;..
200 trips will be generated each day wifih this proposed use which comprises 5-10% of
the daily average. Golden Valley Road averages 2,200 cars per day and has the capacity
to carry approximately 5,000-10,00� cars per day.
Kluchka asked if there are �urrently any`traffic controls near this property. Zimmerman
said there is not a signal �r stop �ign at Golden Valley Road and Zane Ave. Kluchka
questioned who controls wheth�r or not there are stop signs on Golden Valley Road.
Goellner said the Traffic Saf�#y Committee, the City Engineer, and the County consider
stop sign requests.
Goellner stated that staff also received comments from a resident regarding lighting. She
said that s#aff will work with the applicant to make sure the lighting on the site is brought
up to code if rf�is f�und #o be non-compliant.
Waldhauser asker� if a Conditional Use Permit follows the property or if it ends when the
approved use stops: Goellner said Conditional Use Permits follow the property but if a
different use or configuration is proposed an amendment would be required. Johnson
asked what'would happen if one the proposed uses in this case were to leave. Goellner
said a Conditional Use Permit can be rescinded. Johnson asked if the food shelf were to
leave if JFCS could have a different retail use in the same space. Goellner said they
could have a retail use with the same amount of square footage, hours of operation, etc.
but that staff would analyze any new proposal.
Baker asked who would be affected if the parking is inadequate. Goellner said there is on-
street parking allowed on Zane Ave. and there are other surface lots nearby that are
under-utilized. She added that more parking could also be added to this site if necessary.

Kluchka referred to the condition of approval in the staff report regarding the installation of
signage to encourage the use of Zane Ave. and asked if the cost of adding signage would
be applicanYs responsibility. Goellner said yes. Segelbaum asked why the City wants to
direct traffic to the Zane Ave. entrance. Goellner said directing the food shelf and thrift
store traffic to the Zane Ave. entrance would reduce the impact to the residential
properties on the east and north and would avoid the office traffic on Golden Valley Road.
Kluchka asked about the current parking lot lighting. Goellner said that residents have
said the parking lot lights are bright. Kluchka asked if a condition could be added
regarding shielding of the parking lot lighting. Baker asked if the City can requir�; the
applicant to meet the City's lighting requirements. Goellner said a c,�ndition could be
added which would require the applicant to meet the City's Light��t��Code.
���"
Kluchka noted that there aren't any sidewalks leading to the mai`r� �ntrance on Zane Ave.
and there are a lot of trucks using Zane Ave. which makes walking iincomft�rtable. He
asked if sidewalks or striping could be added, or a sidewalk plan requ�re�l: Goellner said
that sounds reasonable and she would check on the status of sidewalks along Zane Ave.
Kluchka added that the Luce Line Trail is a quarter�f a�mile away so this could be a great
opportunity for additional sidewalks. =�,
�,, ,.
�
Segelbaum asked about the current use of the buiid;ing an�,if it is fully occupied. Goellner
said she believes it is completely occupied by four dif�er�t5� businesses. She added that
there are approximately 100 employees on-site now with office and warehouse uses so
the use will essentially remain the sam�with this current proposal.
Segelbaum asked about the proxirrirty to public transportation. Goellner said there are two
bus routes in this area and fhat some of the applicanYs ctients will use public
transportation. Baker asked if there will b�� a designated route that people will use to get
to the food shelf and thrift stare portion of the building. Segelbaum noted there is an
existing sidewalk on th� north side of Golden Valley Road. Baker said that is far away
from the retail portion c�f this building and asked if there will be a pull-out area for buses.
Goellne� said there wilf b,��a puil=out area on Douglas Dr.
���.
Johnson questioned why the staff report listed the square footage of the building as
43,764 square feet in one section, and 59,966 square feet in a different section. Goellner
stated that fhe entire building is 59,966 square feet and the office space is 43,764 square
feet. :.
Baker refer��d to the issues regarding traffic speed and asked what ways the City has
been addressing the issue. Goellner stated that the Police Department has made it a
priority location for speed enforcement and will be using a speed trailer. Baker questioned
if this might be an appropriate place for traffic calming measures.
Blum referred to the traffic volume numbers and asked where the numbers come from.
Goellner said they come from MnDOT and Hennepin County. She reiterated that Golden
Valley Road has the capacity to carry 5,000 to 10,000 cars per day and this proposed use

of the property would not put Golden Valley Road near its capacity. Waldhauser asked if
the County and State also make decisions about installing stop signs. Goellner said yes.
Segelbaum asked if the applicant will be removing green space to add parking stalls.
Goellner said not thus far. She added that their plans show additional spaces compared
to the existing parking lot.
Judy Halper, Chief Executive Officer of Jewish Family & Children's Services of
Minneapolis, explained that they established in 1910 and are a non-profit�o�'�anization.
They offer counseling, career services, case management, literacy prQgrams, and family
and children's programs. She said they have a number of contracts wi��t Hennepiil County
and are funded by the United Way and by the Minneapolis Jewish Federation as �lirell as
their own fundraising. She discussed how they chose this proposed locatio�n�nd,,:. '
explained that about a year and a half ago their organization began to llook at ttte issue of
food insecurity, recognizing that they have not been in that pragram area before and
considered building a food shelf. She said that PRISM was the��`nost re�eptive to
partnering with them and they realized there was a lot of sy��rgistic work between the
two organizations. She stated that the businesses currently m���� �,uilding will stay
through 2016 and JFCS and PRISM will be there starting`in2017.
Kluchka asked Halper to discuss more ab�c�tat ti�'� services JFCS provides. Halper stated
they are like Lutheran Social Services or Catha�ic Charitie� and serve people of all
backgrounds. She said they offer caunsei��tg=s�rvi�es,.,career services for people with
barriers to getting employment, they help v�f�erans and people who are 50+ find
employment, they provide scholarships, literacy programs, and they also work with at risk
families and people with disabili�ies. �
Baker asked if the couns�ling s��ices are provided on-site. Halper stated that most of
the work they do, including th���-program called CAFE which stands for Career Access for
Everyone takes place in the coriimunity, at homes, places of employment, and schools.
Waldhauser asl�ed about the hour's of operation for the counseling services. Halper stated
that the CAFE prc��ram takes place from 8 to 9:30 am twice a month and other counseling
services are offered during daytime hours and one evening a week which concfudes by 7
or 8 pm.
Baker asked f4r cl�rification about the number of employees. Halper explained that they
have a small office in Minneapolis that has 12 employees, a day program in St. Louis
Park and employees in St. Louis Park's schools so they employ 125 people. They won't
all office aut c�f this Golden Valley location, about 75 employees will.
Baker questioned how people arriving by bus will get from the street to the thrift store and
food shelf in the back corner of th� building. Halper stated that the sidewalks and access
are challenges they are working with an architect to resolve. Kluchka suggested they also
look at the traffic and access on Zane Ave.
Baker asked what JFCS would do with the retail use if the Conditional Use Permit isn't
approved. Halper said they would use the proposed retail space for something else, but
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016

she hopes the Permit will be approved. She added that they are very proud of the smart
and efficient co-location of services they are proposing.
Segelbaum asked about the relationship between JFCS and PRISM. Halper said PRISM
will be a tenant of JFCS but they will be sharing space in the building and that the
expectation is to be helpful and collaborative with one another.
Blum asked Halper how many volunteers will come to the Golden Valley location and
where they come from. Halper said there would only be a few volunteers that come
mostly from Minneapolis and the western suburbs including Golden Vailey and that the
majority of the volunteers come together at specific times of the year or at specific events.

Segelbaum opened the public hearing. �;� ��
Roxanne Sienko, 5800 Golden Valley Road, said she used ta be fh�� prop�t'#y manager of
this building. She said she attended the neighborhood meeting and sh�a�ias a lot of
concerns about this proposal. She said she has seen a lot of changes in this
neighborhood, not all good, over the past 31 years.'1n 1993 she asked for sidewalks on
Golden Valley and was told she would have to submit a petition so she did and they got
sidewalks on Golden Valley Road. She said in 20p7 the City decided there needed to be
work done on the railroad trestle because serii�,��rucks were constantly hitting it and it was
falling down. When the road was done it was widened to keep the traffic flowing. Her
concern is that the amount of traffic on that rc�ad�is..�lt�uuing so fast that she can't pull into
her driveway without being passed, or go to her mailbox without almost being run over.
She said she was told it wouldn't be a prvblerii because all the cars would go down Zane
Avenue or west of Zane Av�r�ue und�rneath the-railroad trestle and there wouldn't be any
more problems. She said that wa�,alrnost 10 years ago and she still can't go across the
street to the mailbox, or turn into�,�er driveway without being passed, or walk, weed her
garden, or be in the street witfiout fear of getting hit. She said the traffic has not been
addressed in Golden Valley and,she was stunned to hear that the City has a traffic
committee bec�.use she has'never been invited to a meeting, or known there were
meetings. She sard there is a sex offender house in the neighborhood and it is disturbing
to be weec�ing her y�rd and have a police officer standing over her asking her if she has
seen someone: ��e;�aid she is concerned about a retail space staying with a building no
matter who is tr�.there because they could end up with a liquor store, a tattoo parlor, a
massage parlor, r�r,any number of things that would not enhance the neighborhood. She
said she doesn't haVe a problem with the food shelf or thrift store, she has a problem with
them in this neighborhood and the amount of increased traffic. She said at the
neighborhood meeting she asked a very specific question about how many more cars are
going to be on the road. They were told 500-600 a month, now she is hearing at this
meeting there will be an additional 100-200 per day which is a dramatic difference. She
said she would also like to point out that there used to be a bus route on Golden Valley
Road. That route was taken out because it was one of the highest subsidized routes in
the Metro Transit's history and they took it off the road. She questioned where the
customers will walk and noted that parking is not allowed on Zane Avenue per an
unwritten rule. She said stop signs on Golden Valley Road will never happen. In 2007 she
asked for stop signs to be installed on Gotden Valley Road and was told it is a State Aid
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016
Page 6
road, it is a thoroughfare, and stop signs will not be installed because the traffic needs to
flow. She added that neighbors are not even allowed to put "slow down" signs in their
yards to keep the traffic from going so fast. She stated that last week a police speed
trailer showed up but it is not functioning and that Police started patrolling the area in
November, but they haven't been back since then. She said she was also told at the
neighborhood meeting that the thrift store would be open one Saturday a month, but the
staff report states that it will be open from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturdays. She said she
feels there isn't going to be any limits on the hours that they can add and it will just get
worse, not better. She said she is concerned her neighborhood is being systematically
destroyed and she can't do anything about it. She asked if there will be any sex offender
counseling done at this facility.
rS
Ann Bennion, 1125 Welcome Circle, said the previous speaker�rddres��d many of the
same concerns she has. She questioned how the amount of ret�il space allowed is
determined. She said she is affected by the parking lot lighting and���he ho�e's that issue
will be addressed. She stated that the current property owner is paying ,���,000 per year
in taxes according to the tax records and questioned �f this new ownership would change
this property to a non-taxable property.
Adam Brookins, 1355 Oak Grove Circle, said he �ias a con��rn about the retail sales
portion of building being based on the foatprint of th� build�rt�g versus the building square
footage. He said he found out that the Gity passed an i�r�l�nance changing the way retail
sales square footage is calculated an March 2"� and this proposal was miraculously
submitted on March 5th after the c��nge..to the ordinance. He said the decision on this
proposal should be pushed back becaus� there are a lot of issues that need to be worked
through. He referred to the floor p�a`� c��f the building and said the food shelf is locked
within warehouse and office space art�lx�e doesn't think anyone would agree that you'd
pass through an office to get to a retail u�e. Additionally, the public restrooms are also
considered office use on the plans and he thinks they are misclassified and that the
applicant is making if loak like it fits with the newly changed ordinance which is alarming
to him. He showed the are�s that he thinks should also fall within the space being used
for retail and said the b�rilding square footage, if recalculated taking into consideration the
reception area and the public restrooms, would add 11% to the retail use. He said under
the preui�us ordinance language the retail use would have been 14% and it would not
have met.the requirements at all. He said this proposal does not fit with the existing
industrial us�s in the area and Zane Ave. does not allow parking, but he doesn't doubt
that the applic�nt will ask to use Zane Ave. for parking. He stated that the church across
the str�et to th�:'north uses this parking lot for overflow parking on weekends and when
funerals occur':`He said the landscape plan has a number of flaws as well, and the parking
requirements can't be met, and the building can't be used with how it was drawn. He said
the service doors for the building have parking spots in front of them, the parallel spaces
won't work. He said the applicant is going to need a crosswalk to get people to the
proposed retail use and the costs for that and for bike lanes on Zane Ave. should be
taken on by the applicant. He said he is concerned about outside storage and thinks what
is collected, where it's collected, and how iYs disposed of should be clearly defined. He
added that he supports the mission, but this item should be tabled to consider these
concerns.

DeDe Scanlon, 7315 Olympia Street, said she first became aware of PRISM when she
was a City Council Member. She said PRISM serves a purpose that needs to be served.
She said the clients are the nicest people and are very respectFul and polite and there is
nothing to be fearful of. She stated that neighborhoods are changing more and more
because Golden Valley is growing. She said she hopes the City can find a way to make
this proposal work because PRISM has been in this community since 1970 and the need
for their services is not going away.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Segelbaum closed the.public
hearing.

Kluchka asked if lighting is considered in the Conditional Use Permit process. Go�llner
explained that lighting is usually considered with an exterior remodel but she �hinl�s that
�.,,
the applicant would be receptive in helping address any lighting issues. Baker`°asked if a
condition could be added stating that the lighting has to be br�ught up to cade.
Zimmerman noted that the lighting already exists on th�-;property so no requirements are
being triggered by the proposed new use. Any conditions"°added #o the Planning
Commission's recommendation need to be tied to the proposed-.u�e.
Segelbaum asked when the City's Traffic Safety Committee meets and if they meet
s:...
regularly. Goellner said they meet as neet�ed\�fUaldhauser stated that the estimated 100
to 200 trips per day is enough to accornr�odate the nurnber of employees and visitors and
is just slightly more than what is currently ther� G��Ilner referred to the comment in the
public hearing regarding 500 to 600 trips per month and clarified that the proposed retail
use will serve 500 to 600 households per monthx„which translates to an additional 100-
200 trips per day for all propos��l uses (office, warehouse and retail).
Baker asked about the Caunty's�cisions regarding the installation of stop signs.
Zimmerman explained that c��tain criteria need to be met when a stop sign request is
made because if a stop sign is put in that is not warranted it could cause more problems.
Baker said he is sym�i�thetic tfl ti�e issue of speeding and that the City needs to do a
better job of addressing these ct�ncerns.
Johnson expressed conc�rn about people coming to the site by bus but not being able to
get to the thrift store or food shelf with no sidewalk in place. He added that it doesn't
seem reasonable to advocate for this use without sidewalks. Zimmerman noted that there
is sidewalk on the north side of Golden Valley Road and there is a crosswalk on the east
side of this praperty. Baker stated that there isn't a crosswalk on Zane Ave. so people
won't be �ble cross Golden Valley and walk down Zane Ave. to get to the retail portion of
the site. Blum suggested a "Y-shaped" driveway be installed at the Zane Ave. entrance to
help control traffic.
Baker asked if the City knew about the parking arrangement between this property and
the church across the street. Zimmerman said he wasn't aware of it, but that the City
encourages shared parking arrangements.

Segelbaum referred to the resident's comment about the applicant not being able to make
the parking work. Goellner reiterated that the applicant will have to meet the parking
requirements and she feels confident that the parking will work. Zimmerman added that
there are also requirements regarding the size of parking stalls and drive aisle widths.
Kluchka asked how retail space is defined. He added that he thinks it is a valid argument
to say that the public restrooms will be used by the customers of the food shelf and thrift
store and should be counted toward the square footage of those uses. Goellner said she
disagrees that the reception area and public restrooms should be considered retail space
because they are functions of the office use and board room use as well.
Baker said he does not agree with the resident saying that the City changed its ordinance
regarding accessory retail space because of this current proposal. He stated that whether
or not the reception area and restrooms should be considered re�taif space would however
affect the discussion. Goellner stated that the reception area and restroom spaces could
change the square footage of the retail space, but it wc��ld not �hange the'number of trips
or the proposed use. Zimmerman said staff would talk to tf�e City�s Building Official about
how to consider the reception and restroom areas. I�luchka asked if the food shelf and
thrift store are big enough to require public restrooms. Goellner said the plans are not fully
finished, but the applicant is asking for 5,164 square feet of retail space and that is what
they will be held to. �"'
Kluchka asked if the retail use and hoursw�wl�1 #�� ��signed to this applicant. Zimmerman
stated that the conditions are tied to this use;�nd this plan. Segefbaum asked if the hours
of operation could be expanded. Goellner staf�d�that the condition regarding hours was
kept simply to 9 am to 7 pm MQnday through Friday and 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday so
that the applicant wouldn't tiave to amend their Conditional Use Permit just to stay open
one hour later. Segelbaurrt:.�asked��if the Conditional Use Permit would need to be
amended if the applicant wan��ri`to stay open later. Goellner said yes.
Segelbaum asked if the praposed'retail space could be changed in the future to a liquor
store or a massage parlor and if the applicant would have to amend their Conditional Use
Permit to allow that:Goellner stated that any retail use would have to be accessory to a
permitted use. `
Segelbaum asked-if there are requirements about where products can be stored.
Zimrnerman stated'fhat items stored outdoors would have to be screened. Baker asked if
a collection box could be located in a parking space. Zimmerman said yes, but there
would then be one less parking space.
Segelbaum asked how the property is taxed if owned by a non-profit. Goellner stated that
staff considers the values of properties, but now how they are taxed. Baker stated that the
City Council will have purview over taxes.
Kluchka asked the applicants if they will offer sex offender counseling on-site. Lee
Friedman, Chief Operating Officer, JFCS, said no.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016

Baker asked the applicants if they will have a donation collection box. Michelle Ness,
Executive Director, PRISM, said no.
Friedman referred to the discussion regarding the amount of traffic coming from buses.
He clarified that a small number of people will come to the site by bus, but most will drive
and carpool. He referred to the parking arrangement with the church across the street and
said it is his understanding that there is an easement agreement in place to allow the
church to use this parking lot. He added that they don't anticipate any issues with parking.
Blum asked Friedman if he has any objections to making a "Y-shaped" dri�reway with
forced right turns. Friedman said no.
Waldhauser said the issues of traffic and site access sound simil��'='to oth�rs they've
heard in the past. She said she doesn't think this proposed fac�lity will �ake the situation
better or worse or has to do with this applicant. Baker agreed tliat the proposed'`
Conditional Use Permit doesn't change traffic very much but he thirtks the,.,,�itty Council
should take action on the issues raised by the neighbors. Kluchka sugg�sted that
Segelbaum send a letter to the City Council as soon as pos�ible asking them to address
the traffic issues. Segelbaum said he agrees that=p�des�rian access, sidewalks and traffic
on Golden Valley Road and on Zane Ave. should be studi�d. Baker said there needs to
be a crosswalk at Golden Valley Road and Zane �ve. for th�,foot traffic. Johnson agreed
that it doesn't make sense to walk around the build'i�tg to get"'to the front of it.
,�
Segelbaum asked the Commissioners how they felt about the lighting on the property.
Baker suggested adding a condit�4�n�sfat�ng that the City encourages the applicant to
bring their lighting up to code if tt isn't alr�ady.`Segelbaum stated that staff should
determine if bringing the site up to"�c�d�`is required.
Kluchka suggested adding a condition re�arding the installation of bicycle racks.
Zimmerman stated that bicycle racks are required so a condition does not need to be
added.
Baker said he would lil��ttie square footage of the retail space to be re-calculated if the
public restrooms and reception area are included. Zimmerman stated that if those areas
need to�be added tk�e nuri�bers will be adjusted accordingly.
Kluchka asked if the issue regarding sidewalks should be referred to the sidewatk
comrnittee or if,thaf'should be added as a condition. Waldhauser said that should be a
part of th� lett�r written to the City Council because the applicant for this proposal can't
address or r��olve the sidewalk issues.
Waldhauser referred to finding #8 in the staff report which states that the proposed use is
not anticipated to attract pests. She suggested that be worded differently because there
will be fresh and packaged food in the food shelf area. Baker agreed. Segelbaum
suggested the finding be softened to state that pests will be of an amount that is expected
with this type of use.

Baker said he is generally in favor of the proposed request. It is not a major change in the
impact to the neighborhood and it is a valuable service in Golden Valley. Blum agreed
and added that they are bringing jobs to Golden Valley, serving many different needs, and
there is support in the community for this use.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit at 5905 Golden Valley Road to allow
for accessory retail sales incidental to permitted uses in a Light Industrial zoning district
subject to the following findings and conditions:
�
Findinqs:
� :.
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: PRISM is an existing bit�iness i�t
Golden Valley that has shown that demand exists for the soeial services ft��y�""
provide. Based on their past experiences, they are able t�;accurately predict the
expected amount of demand there will be for the food shelf and thrift shop. JFCS is
a well-established organization that has been provid�ng essential services to the
local community since 1910. The organization would li(ce to relocate`offices from
Minnetonka to Golden Valley.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:'An office,and warehouse use with a
retail component comprising less than 1 Q%o of#he building's gross floor area is
consistent with the Light Industrial de��gh"atii�n of this property on the General Land
Use Plan Map. "�
��
3. Effect on Property Values: Ren�;vat��i�n� tt� tf�e:bui.lding on the subject property may
have a positive impact on its o�ivn est�ma��d value,'but staff does not anticipate that
the new use would have a pos,,itive c�r'�negat�u,�e impact on the surrounding property
values. �`�� , �
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of tri�s generated by the proposed retail, office, and
warehouse uses are minimal, The c�ir�ent uses in the building generate a very
comparable amount of traffic'to the site, which do not cause any negative impacts to
the area. Staff does r�ot expect any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas
resulting in the intrc�du�tic�n �f the proposed retail.
5. Effect of Increases iri�Pop�lation and Density: The proposed use may generate a
minimal increase in the number of employees at the location, but the number of
employees will be limi�ed based on the size of the building. The potential for a
minimal increase in'the number of employees on site does not threaten the health,
safety, �r1d welfare of the community.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an
increase innnoise levels. The majority of activities associated with the proposed uses
will occu�-within the interior of the building, thereby reducing the impact to the
surroundings.
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 any more pests than
what is expected with this type of use.
9. Visual Impact: Because the proposed use would involve only interior modifications
and only a slight increase in parking spaces on the existing pavement, staff does not
anticipate a change in the visual quality of the property. The applicant must abide by
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016
Page 11
all regulations regarding fencing, screening, outdoor lighting, and outdoor storage,
as stated in the Golden Valley City Code.
10.Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other
negative effects of the proposed use.
Conditions:
1. The plans by submitted by Pope Architects on January 12, 2016, shall become a
part of this approvat.
2. Retail space is limited to 5,164 square feet of the gross floor area af;the building. If
more retail space is desired in the future, the Conditional Use Pe�rt�tit mu�t be
amended to reflect the increased size.
3. Hours of Operation for the PRISM food shelf and the thrift shc�p are I��nited tc��9 am
— 7 pm on Monday through Friday and 10 am —2 pm on Saturdays. Any���ctension
to these hours requires an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit.
4. All parking regulations found in Section 11.70 of City Co�f� (Off-Street Parking and
Loading Regulations) shall be met prior to the issr�ance of'� building permit or
certificate of occupancy. '�
5. Food shelf and thrift shop customers shalf be direet�d by"F��tiSM to enter the
property from Zane Avenue. Directional signs shall be provided.
6. In the event complaints to the City regarding parking are deemed by the City
Manager or his/her designee to be si�nifi�c�nt,'the City reserves the right to require
signage be installed to highlight th� parkin�' near the entrance to the PRISM food
shelf and thrift shop. The City reserv�� th���rigl�t.�to require that these parking
spaces be reserved for customer use. Qther modifications to the days or hours of
operation may be required �Q adequately''��ldress parking concerns.
7. All signage must meet,�he>.>r.equirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
8. The applicant shall explore c►ptions to provide pavement markings on the property
that support the safefiy of pe�'estrians accessing the retail space.
9. This approval is subjecf t��all other state, federal, and local ordinances,
regulations, or faws with authority over this development.

3. Informal �ublic Hearing = General Land Use Plan Map Amendment—
2415 and 24A�5 Winnetka Ave. N. — CPAM-57
Applicar�t: Var�"Tran and Lawrence Johanns
Addresses 2415 and 2445 Winnetka Ave. N.
Purpose: To change the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Low Density Residential to Commercial Retail/Service.
4. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 2415 and 2445 Winnetka
Ave. N. —Z019-07
Applicant: Van Tran and Lawrence Johanns
Address: 2415 and 2445 Winnetka Ave. N.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016
Page 12
Purpose: To rezone 2415 Winnetka Ave. N. from Single Family Residential (R-1)
to Commercial and to rezone 2445 Winnetka Ave. N. from Business and
Professional Offices to Commercial.
The Informal Public Hearings and discussion for Items 3 and 4 were combined.
Zimmerman explained the applicants' request to re-designate and rezone the properties
located at 2415 and 2445 Winnetka Ave. N. to prepare them for future commercial
redevelopment. He stated that the appticants held a neighborhood meeting on March 7
which five residents attended. Concerns at the meeting were related to the impacts of
Commercial uses on the single family homes to the west including: hours of operation,
noise, privacy, and loss of mature trees.
�
Zimmerman discussed many of the permitted and conditional us�s that�would be allowed if
the properties were re-designated and rezoned to Commerciaf:: He also dis�ussed the traffic
impacts and stated that business and offices uses typically have the �r��test amount of
traffic in the AM and PM peak periods and commerci,�l, de�ending on the specific use,
usually sees the trips spread throughout the day,��d �ir�more Iikely to involve evening and
weekend activities.
�:
�,
Zimmerman stated that staff supports the concept ci��re-desi�nating and rezoning both
properties to allow Business and Professional C7ffice u�es'; `but is recommending denial of
re-designating and rezoning the prop�rties t4 Cammercial based on the likely impacts to the
adjacent single family neighborhar�d:
Kluchka asked if this proposal woult� b�� considered "spot zoning." He also asked if the
center turn lane on Winnetka Ave. woul,�l affect commercial uses on these properties.
Zimmerman stated that the City's concern with changing these properties to Commercial is
that many uses in the Commereial zoning district would be allowed by right and the City
would lose some control,over the impacts to the neighboring properties. He reiterated that
the City supports red�velo,pm�nt for these finro properties but feels that Business and
Professional Offices zortir�g would be more appropriate.
Segelbaum asked if th� L�berty Crossing development across the street from these
properties had to align their driveway access. Zimmerman said yes and added that in that
case it had to do with the crest of the hill on Winnetka Ave.
Segelbaum asked if it would be appropriate to consider re-designating and rezoning the
properties to Business and Professional Offices even if the applicant is asking that the
properties be Commercial. Zimmerman stated that the City has to respond to the request
that is being made, but the Planning Commission can pass on comments to the City
Council, or consider this area during the Comprehensive Plan update process.
Nick Naboka, The Caspian Group (formerly NAI Everest), representing the applicants,
stated that they would like to re-designate and rezone the properties to accommodate future
development. He stated that both properties are aged and outdated and are no longer
capable of attracting new tenants. He stated that redeveloping this site will bring in much
needed investment of a modern, mare viable asset that will serve the neighborhood. He
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016
Page 13
said current plans could include a child care facility, an ATM station or a hair salon. He
stated that this is a narrow site that is cut off from the neighborhood to the west and traffic
volume will not increase because it will be just a small service location. He added that these
properties won't work for office tenants because they want a bigger space with more
amenities. He said it is also important to note that the recently approved Liberty Crossing
project across the street will provide opportunity for a better product on this site.
Redeveloping this site will be a benefit to this neighborhood and will generate income for the
City and will provide a new look to this gateway location. He referred to the neighbors'
concerns about noise and traffic and said that in looking at the history of.the�area it is highly
unlikely that a business that has failed repeatedly will be put in at this,l�tcation �nd because
of the small size of the site it will be a small service type of business t�ilored to th�
neighborhood. He added that they have explored office use at this site but.i#woul�°'not be
supported by investors. He reiterated that the site is not fit for any viable use;urtt�ss it is
rezoned to Commercial.
Segelbaum asked Naboka if he is only interested in rezQning th� properties to Commercial
��.��.
and nothing else. Naboka said yes, that is the market reafi�r, Seg:�lbaum asked if the
proposed uses Naboka has in mind would be allarn��d in�the Busi�t.Ess and Professional
Offices with a Conditional Use Permit. Naboka said some'�re, buf given the size of the site it
would not be viable or competitive.
��:., �;�:-
Lawrence Johanns, Applicant, 2415 Winnetka Avenue �I��h, stated that he no longer has
much use for the office building and if,;both properties are rezoned together they can do a
better development. '� �,�,,,
�m:
�
Van Tran, Applicant, 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, said she hopes the development across
the street will bring opportunity for this`site. She said wants the timing of the redevelopment
of this site tied to the timing of the`Liberty.Crossing project. She added that the trees on the
site are getting old and new construction would improve the area.
Waldhauser asked Jahann� if it has been difficult to lease space in the office building.
Johanns said the buildirig needs'`a lot of upgrading. Tran added that the taxes on the
property are also quite hi�h so she can't compete with other office space in the area.
Waldhaus�r asked the''applicants if they had considered higher density housing on this site.
Naboka said their intent is to have the least intrusive use as possible and that higher density
housi�� would`be more impactful to the residents.
Segelbaum:asked if the cemetery has impacted the marketability of the office space.
Johanns said no and added that the interest they've had would be in both properties being
rezoned together.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
Jerry Lefever, 7979 Jonellen Lane, urged the City not to rezone these properties to
Commercial. He said the best thing would be residential and that commercial would be
difficult with the intersection.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
March 14, 2016
Page 14
Chuck Griffith, 7979 Jonellen Lane, discussed the grade and the buffer of trees on the
properties to the south and stated that a commercial use would be noisier and will impact
the property values in the area. He added that there are two houses in the area that are not
owner occupied and they could be pressured to rezone those properties to Commercial too.
Waldhauser asked Lefever how he would feel about a 3-story apartment building. Lefever
said twin homes would be more appropriate because an apartment building would not fit.
Kirsten Hoffstedt Keefe, said she is speaking for her mother, Diane Hoffst,edt�,2450 Valders
Avenue North. She stated that the loss of the trees has increased the a���ibility fo,Walgreen's
and the lighting from Walgreen's. She noted that if the site is used for �i d,aycare fi�at would
be allowed if the property is zoned Business and Professional Offices. SFtB said it��s difficult
to debate all of the different options without knowing a specific proposal. Sf�e��s��t�`"there are
concerns about noise, height, lighting, and lack of control by.;the City and recommended that
the property stay zoned Business and Professional Offices.
Victoria Hopponen, 2400 Valders Avenue North, read a st�temer�t from`her mother Lilliane
Hopponen. She said they bought the property at 24'15 Winnefk� Ave. in 1959 because they
were impressed with all the trees and the topography. Now the property is referred to as
aged and outdated. She has no idea of its condition, but she does know of five different
groups who have lived there. She questipC��cl vithy the properties would have to change from
residential to commercial use to accomr�nodate redeveiopment and she sees no comfort and
convenience of local residents except for the t�t� pet�ple involved and possibly the City. She
stated that they built their house to the west�o they could have a walk-out basement and
they left as many of the natural contours as pbs�ible. She asked that the Planning
Commissioners be conserva#�t�nis�s artd`have some concern for the living things that will be
exterminated if all of the trees ar�t� pla�ts between Valders and Winnetka are removed and
asked why everything has�t� be ��t and'grassy. (Ms. Hopponen submitted a list of
"inhabitants and visitors" she �tas seen in the area.) She asked who would like to have a
child care facility or restaurant plus the parking 42 feet from their back door. She said she
doesn't believe for a rnoment that tf�e true reason for wanting to change these properties to
commercial is only to give a beautifying facelift by replacing the aged, outdated and worn
buildings to benefit the local residents. She implored the City to strongly consider keeping
the properties zoned Residential because trees are one of the biggest assets of the area
acting as a buffer from"the noise and pollution from Winnetka Ave. Ms. Hopponen said she
was speaking for herself at this point. She stated that their house has floor to ceiling
windows and they are always looking down at these properties. They get all the noise from
Winnetka and she doesn't want to live without being able to open windows. She said there
are other amenities all around the area and the applicants want to rezone the properties so
they can get a higher price for them.
Chris Gunn, 8000 Wynnwood Road, said he drives by the building on Winnetka and it is an
eyesore. He said he would much rather see a retail use on these properties and something
aesthetically pleasing rather than a vacant building. He questioned who would want to live
there if the properties were rezoned to residential and said no one would buy the properties
if they are residential.

Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Segelbaum asked if all the trees could be removed. Zimmerman stated that a certain
amount would have to be retained, but a number of them could be removed.
Segelbaum noted that the height is limited to three stories in the Business and Professional
Offices and Commercial zoning districts and asked about the height requirements in the
higher density residential zoning districts. Zimmerman stated that the height requirement
varies depending on the district.
Blum stated that Winnetka Ave. is one of the only non-highway roads that completely
bisects Golden Valley and it strikes him as an important thoroughf�re in the City. AJso, the
Winnetka Ave. and Medicine Lake Rd. intersection is a major int�:rsectir�n. `He said there is a
large development going in across the street and he thinks the kEnd�c�f decisians made in
the past point in the direction of higher density development in this��lcacation::
Kluchka said he is not sure the applicants are awar� s�f the soil conditions in this area and
anything built here would take a significant investrnent ar�d would need to be high density
residential, but it doesn't need to copy what is lo�ated to the north. He said he would like to
see the all the properties from Medicine Lake Rd �to 23251/�linnetka to the south, including
the cemetery, bundled together and be redevelope�t,k�ecau�� this is a gateway location. He
added that he is not in favor of changing the praperties��!Commercial. He would be
interested in the Business and Professional Offices designation but only with a bigger group
of properties.
Johnson said it is a slippery;slope vuhen there is no natural barriers between two distinct
types of zoning. He said the''uses co-exist now, but changing that would dramatically
change the area for no real reason so h�:�nrould support the lowest density residential
zoning district.
Baker asked haw the cliscrepancy occurred between the Comprehensive Plan Map and the
Zoning Map for t�� property at 2445 Winnetka Ave. Zimmerman explained that the property
was rezon�d to Bustness and Professional Offices, but the Comprehensive Plan Map was
not amended:B�k�r s�id h'e would want the area to be residential, not commercial because
it is a large area of residential and he questions why this one site should be commercial.
Waldhauser stated fhat there is a lot of commercial uses in the area that haven't been
successful and questioned what would make it successful on these properties. She said she
is open to considering Business and Professional Offices, but she would like to study the
options more in order to decide what these properties should be.
Segelbaum stated that usually there is a specific design or use proposed so it is easier to
review the impacts. He said he doesn't want to detract from the value of the surrounding
properties and that he would be open to considering Business and Professional Offices. He
said he thinks these properties do need to be redeveloped and encouraged the applicants
to come back with a specific plan to help residents visualize what sort of development could
occur and how it would fit in.

Date: April 11, 2016
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Amendments to the General Land Use Plan Map —
Lot 11, Block 8 West Tyro) Hills (formerly 3900)Wayzata Boulevard
Background
An application to amend the Comprehensive Plan was filed by the City of Golden Valley to guide
the property formerly addressed as 3900 Wayzata Boulevard for Low Density Residential use. The
property was originally platted for residential use and a home was located there until the 1960s. At
that time, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) purchased the property for
highway development. The property was un-guided and un-zoned from residential to right-of-way
and the home was demolished. MnDOT is now selling the land (with a bid opening on March 29)
and City staff has determined that this lot is appropriate for Low Density Residential use once
again. However, a home cannot be built on this property until it is officially guided and zoned for
Residential use by the City Council. The City has not received a building permit application for a
home on this property, but the City would like to guide the property for residential use so that the
future owner can build a home if they choose to do so.
Any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment must be sent to the Metropolitan Council for their
review and comment. The City may review the proposal as long as final action is not taken prior to
Metropolitan Council review of the proposed amendment.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of amending the General Land Use Plan Map to designate Lot 11, Block
8 West Tyrol Hills (formerly 3900 Wayzata Boulevard) from un-zoned right-of-way to Low Density
Residential land use.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
This parcel is a.51 acre piece of vacant residential land. It was purchased around1960 far a TH 12 project.
Later TH 394 was built and this land was no longer needed for highway purposes. This is a fairly flat, wooded
residential lot located in the North Tyrol neighborhood of Golden Valley. This property abuts Theodore Wirth
Park/Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. It has close proximity to walking and ski trails, Interstate 394 and
downtown Minneapolis. While remnants remain from the original building (concrete stairs and foundation
blocks), this property is being sold "As Is". MnDOT is not aware of any wells on the property, but the sale is
subject to the existing utilities on the parcel.

Date: April 11, 2016
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Amendment to Official Zoning Map—
Lot 11, Block 8 West Tyrol Hills (formerly 3900) Wayzata Boulevard
Background
A Rezoning Petition was filed by the City of Golden Valley for the property formerly addressed as
3900 Wayzata Boulevard. The property was originally platted for residential use and a home was
located there until the 1960s. At that time, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
purchased the property for highway development. The property was un-zoned from residential to
right-of-way and the home was demolished. MnDOT is now selling the land (with a bid opening on
March 29) and City staff has determined that this lot is appropriate for single-family residential use
once again. However, a home cannot be built on this property until it is officially zoned for
Residential use by the City Council. The recommendation to zone this property as single-family
residential is contingent upon approval of its land use guidance to Low Density Residential by the
Metropolitan Council as well as Golden Valley City Council. The City has not received a building
permit application for a home on this property, but the City would like to guide the property for
residential use so that the future owner can build a home if they choose to do so.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Rezoning Petition, amending the Official Zoning Map to
designate Lot 11, Block 8 West Tyrol Hills (formerly 3900 Wayzata Boulevard) from un-zoned right-
of-way to Single-Family Residential (R-1) Zoning.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
This parcel is a.51 acre piece of vacant residential land. It was purchased around1960 for a TH 12 project.
Later TH 394 was built and this land was no longer needed for highway purposes. This is a fairly flat, wooded
residential lot located in the North Tyrol neighborhood of Golden Valley. This property abuts Theodore Wirth
Park/Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. It has close proximity to walking and ski trails, Interstate 394 and
downtown Minneapolis. While remnants remain from the original building(concrete stairs and foundation
blocks),this property is being sold "As Is". MnDOT is not aware of any wells on the property, but the sale is
subject to the existing utilities on the parcel.

Date: April 11, 2016
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Zoning Code Text Amendment—Amending Moderate Density Residential (R-2)
Zoning District
Background
In conducting research on the buildability of lots zoned for Moderate Density Residential use (R-2
Zoning), staff has determined that the minimum setbacks, lot size, and lot width requirements
are insufficient when compared to the R-1 Single-Family Zoning District. Staff is recommending
changes that further clarify the purpose of the R-2 District, modify the dimensional standards to
meet that purpose, and add essential regulations missing from the R-2 District.
The Moderate Family Zoning District (previously called the Two-Family Zoning District) was
established in 1981, about 45 years after the first Zoning Code was adopted in Golden Valley. At
the time, this district did not allow single-family homes. It was created to allow duplexes. Since it
was geared toward duplexes, the lots were meant to be larger with greater setbacks to
accommodate two families rather than one.
In 2007, major changes were made to all Residential Zoning Districts. Single-family homes were
added to the list of permitted uses in the R-2 Zoning District to bring the existing single-family
homes on those lots into conformance. By not listing single-family homes as permitted in
previous years,those single-family homes were considered non-conforming uses and therefore
no additions could be made to those homes. This unintentionally resulted in lower reinvestment
in those homes. It is believed that some single-family homes were zoned for R-2 use because they
were located in areas that were envisioned for slightly higher density in the form of duplexes.
However, twin homes are not a popular housing product in the real estate market following the
great recession of 2008 and the homeowner liability lawsuits that have plagued the condominium
and townhome market for several years. When single-family homes were added to the list of
permitted uses back in 2007, the dimensional standards were not addressed. Staff would like to
take the opportunity to adjust the dimensional standards to adequately accommodate both
single-family homes as well as duplexes/twin homes.
Lot Size
The existing minimum lot size of 11,000 square feet does not adequately address the purpose
and intent of the R-2 Zoning District, which is to provide up to 8 units/acre of housing. An acre is
equivalent to 43,560 square feet. One acre of land
can only be divided into 3 lots under the existing Proposed Minimum Lot Size of 10,00o sF
regulations, which can only provide up to 6 DensityCalculationforTwo-FamilyDwellings
Permits up to 8 units/acre
units/acre. By reducing the minimum lot size to 1 Acre-43,560 SF 200 x 200=40,000 SF
10,000 square feet, one acre of land can be
divided into 4 lots and provide up to 8 units/acre.
The minimum lot size in the R-1 District for most 1ot�n X�oo�r 3aon X soo�r
=10,OOOSF =10,Q005F
properties is 10,000 square feet. Some areas of 2 dwellings 2 dwellings
the city require a minimum size of 15,000 square permitted permitted
feet depending on the size of surrounding lots. zoo tt
In order to provide the option for small lot single- 2�on X�oon soon X loon
=1o,000sF =1o,000sF
family residential in the R-2 District, staff
2 dwellings 2 dwellings
recommends distinguishing a minimum lot size of permitted permitted
6,000 square feet for single-family homes in the R-
2 District. In this case, one acre of land can be 20o ft
divided into 7 lots and provide up to 7 units/acre.
The lot sizes established in the R-1 District provide up to 2-4 units/acre depending on the
neighborhood. The R-3 District provides up to 10-12 units/acre and the R-4 District provides over
12 units/acre.
Lot Width Lot Size=6,000 SF
Lot width is a very important regulation in
managing density and neighborhood character. Front
Without a minimum lot width, lots could be very = 35 ft
narrow and deep. The minimum lot width in the Side Side
R-1 District is 80 feet. Staff proposes keeping a = 5 ft = 10 ft
minimum lot width of 100 feet for R-2 lots with Buildable Area
two-family dwellings and allowing a minimum lot Lot ' - � = 2,10o SF
width of 50 feet for R-2 lots with a single-family o
dwelling. There are 30 properties zoned for R-2 Depth f House < 30/ lot
= 120 ft ; coverage =
residential in the City. All lots are wider than 100 house under
feet (see attached table for more details). 1,soo SF
footprint
Side Yard Setback Rear=
As with lot width, side yard setbacks are an 25 ft
important regulation that effects the character of
a neighborhood. Since extensive work was Lot Width=50 ft
completed in 2015 on new regulations for side
yard setbacks in the R-1 District, staff would like to incorporate that concept into the R-2 District
as well.
Garage Width
As has been discussed in the past, the front fa�ades of homes on narrower lots have the potential
to be dominated by garage doors. Staff is interested in applying a maximum garage width to
homes in the R-2 zoning district in an effort to limit this effect.
Addition of R-1 Regulations to R-2 District
It has come to staff's attention that City Code Section 11.22 "Moderate Density Zoning District (R-
2)" has not been updated along with City Code Section 11.21 "Single Family Residential (R-1)"
over the last several years. Staff is recommending that multiple subdivisions be added to the R-2
District to make it further align with the R-1 District. The additions will help clarify many issues
that could potentially arise in the R-2 Zoning Districts. The subdivisions include:
• Side Wall Articulation
• Structure Width
• Height
• Paved Area
• Outdoor Storage
• Temporary Outdoor Storage
• Decks and Platforms
• Home Occupation Requirements
Properties Affected
There are currently 27 properties zoned for Moderate Density (R-2) Residential in the City. Of
those 27 properties, 15 have single-family homes, 10 have two-family dwellings, and 2 are
vacant. All properties would conform to the proposed changes.

Local Case Studies: Roseville, Minnetonka, and Eagan
Staff has investigated whether other cities accommodate small lot single-family residential in
their Zoning Codes. Several cities accommodate it, but at varied levels of difference when
compared to their R-1 Districts.

Key Observations:The City of Eagan has regulations that align the most with the staff
recommendations in this proposal. Eagan's Code states that the R1S District was created to
increase the variety of housing styles and values within the City.
City of Roseville Residential Dimensional Standards
Zoning District R-1 (single-family) R-S (small lot) R-2 (two-family)
Lot Size 6,000 4,500 6,000
Lot Width 60 45 60
Front Setback 20 18 20
Side Setback 5 interior, 15 street 5 interior, 12.5 street 5 interior, 15 street

open space of 700 SF
Height 35 35 35
Building Coverage 20% 20% 20%
Key Observations: Roseville allows significantly smaller lot sizes, but there is small amount of the
lot that many be covered by the building. This may cause larger lot sizes than the minimum
amount allowed. R-S (small lot) standards are consistently 25%smaller than R-1 and R-2.
City of Minnetonka Residential Dimensional Standards
Zoning District R-1 (single-family) R-1A(small lot) R-2 (two-family)
up to 3 units/acre up to 3 units/acre
Lot Size 22,000 15,000 12,500/unit
Lot Width 110 75 55
Front Setback 35 35 35
Side Setback 10, sum of all sides 10 10

Rear Setback 40 or 20%of depth 30 or 20%of depth 30 or 20%of depth
Height 35 35 35
Building Coverage 20% 20% 20%
Buildable Area 3,500 2,400 2,400
Key Observations: Minnetonka's R-2 district was created to allow two-family dwellings, but not
to provide for increased residential densities in comparison to R-1. The dimensional standards for
the R-2 District are "per dwelling," not "per lot."The R-1A category is not an official Zoning
District, rather it is acknowledging the previously platted "lots of record" like Golden Valley has
on Rhode Island Avenue.
Rhode Island Avenue
��_
Seven new single-family houses were built on Rhode ;�:�' ,
,
Island Avenue in the last 3 years and are an excellent �.,,�.,
example of small lot single-family development in the � �"''�'�
.��,... r �.�.
city. All of the lots are 50 feet wide and have a total lot ' �"�' �'���;
��� --- I . _ ��
size of 6,950 square feet. These lots were platted many �,,,,,,,,� -
decades ago, so were not subjected to current subdivision "� - ��';� �'`��
regulations which limit lot size and width. The homes are � �-�: �w.
zoned for R-1 and although they meet many of the setback requirements, variances were given
from the side wall articulation requirement and the additional side setback for structures over 15
feet in height. The corner lots also received variances from the setback requirement on one of
the front yards. A summary of each property's dimensions is attached.
Summary of Recommendations
Staff recommends amending Section 11.22 of the Zoning Code to modify lot size, lot width, and
side yard setbacks; and add regulations regarding structure width, side wall articulation, paved
area, outdoor storage, temporary outdoor storage, decks and platforms, and home occupation
requirements.
Staff would like to discuss further the trade-offs in the proposed lot sizes and lot widths, as well
as review the side setback and side wall articulation requirements and idea of a maximum garage
width.
