Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
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,
June 13, 2016. Chair Segelbaum called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Blum, Johnson, Kluchka, Segelbaum,
and Waldhauser. Also present were Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman, Associate
Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
Commissioner Baker was absent.
1. Approval of Minutes
May 23, 2016, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Blum referred to the findings on page 8 and noted that they were numbered incorrectly.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to
approve the May 23, 2016, minutes with the above noted correction.
2. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit— 825 Boone Ave N —
Executive Leasing — CU-152
Applicant: Executive Leasing
Address: 825 Boone Avenue North
Purpose: To allow for auto sales/rentals in the Industrial zoning district.
Zimmerman referred to a map of the property and stated that it is zoned and guided for
industrial uses. The building is a multi-tenant building with a mix of office and light
industrial uses and is approximately 25,600 square feet in size. He explained the
applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the leasing of new and used
vehicles in approximately 3,360 square feet in the northeast corner of the building. He
stated that although the business is almost exclusively leasing, they are required per their
state license to maintain five parking spaces on site for vehicles. Those five spaces will
be created inside the building via a new garage door on the north facade. He added that
there will be four to five employees in the office on a daily basis and approximately one to
two customers per week would visit their location.
Zimmerman referred to the parking requirements and explained that four spaces are
required for the proposed use. He noted that there are 47 existing parking spaces on site
with some additional capacity behind the building so staff feels there is adequate parking
available to accommodate the proposed use. He stated that staff is recommending
approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit because there is low to no impact to the
surrounding properties and roads.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 2
Johnson asked if the five required parking spaces have to be interior parking spaces.
Zimmerman stated that the five required parking spaces are a requirement of the dealer
licensing process, but they can be internal or external.
Brian Hansen, Applicant, said their current location is at 63rd Avenue and Highway 169.
He stated that they are moving from that location because another tenant in the building
needs that space and this proposed new location fits their needs. He explained that they
have to have five parking spaces in order to have a car sales license from the State, but
they don't maintain an inventory, or have sales, and they don't conduct a normal used car
business.
Segelbaum asked the applicant what his relationship is to Executive Leasing. Hansen
said he is the President and Co-Owner.
Blum asked how many jobs this proposed use will bring to Golden Valley. Hansen said
there will be approximately six employees on site on a regular basis.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing•no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Kluchka noted that at the last Planning Commission meeting there was a long discussion
about the loading and staging of cars. He said he doesn't see the same issues in this
case, but he wants to be consistent. Segelbaum agreed that there is a lower volume of
cars in this case. Waldhauser agreed and added that there are no negative impacts with
this proposal and she thinks it is a positive thing to bring small businesses to Golden
Valley.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit subject to the following
findings and conditions:
Findings-
1.
indings:1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: The City requires that an applicant
identify a market for the proposed good or service necessitating a CUP. Executive
Leasing has been in business for over 20 years has an established customer base.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: An auto leasing office is consistent
with the Industrial designation of this property on the General Land Use Plan Map.
3. Effect on Property Values: Staff anticipates the addition of the garage door would
not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips generated by the use would be minimal. Staff
does not expect any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposed use would generate
a minor increase in the number of employees at the location.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an
increase in noise levels.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause
an increase in dust, odor, or vibration.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 3
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: Based on the site plans submitted, the visual quality of the property
would be not be impacted.
10.Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other
negative effects of the proposed use.
Conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire
Department dated May 25, 2016, shall become a part of this approval.
2. No motor vehicles for lease or sale shall be located on City streets.
3. No servicing or repair of motor vehicles shall take place on-site.
4. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations,
or laws with authority over this development.
3. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit— 9050 Golden Valley Rd —
Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union — CU-151
Applicant: Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union
Address: 9050 Golden Valley Road
Purpose: To allow for a financial institution, including drive-in facilities.
Zimmerman explained that this property is currently zoned and guided for high density
residential development. However, it is under consideration for rezoning and reguiding to
Business and Professional Offices. He stated that the applicant is requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to allow for the operation of a credit union with a drive-thru and if
the rezoning and reguiding are not approved by the City Council, the credit union use
would not be allowed at this location.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and stated that the applicant is proposing to re-use the
existing building and to add a canopy and second drive-thru lane on the west side of the
building. They are also proposing changes to the parking layout, a new accessible ramp,
and modifications to the drainage from the roof. He referred to the parking requirements
and stated that 11 parking spaces would be required and 44 spaces would be provided.
They will have an estimated 10 employees and approximately 30 customers per day.
Zimmerman explained that the main concerns with the original Conditional Use Permit for
a fast food restaurant included the noise from the drive-thru speaker and having enough
space for stacking cars in the drive-thru lane. He stated that there will be sufficient room
for stacking in the drive-thru lanes with the proposed credit union use versus the fast food
use and the decibel level of the speakers will not be audible over the ambient noise at the
property line. He added that there is a vegetated buffer along the west property line and
there will be 84 feet between the speaker and the multi-family property to the west. He
stated that staff is recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit because the
impact of the proposed use will be reduced compared to the previous fast food use. He
also stated that there could potentially be an opportunity in the future for shared parking
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016

with the proposed senior housing development to the east since the proposed credit
union would not be open nights or weekends.
Segelbaum said he understands that the Planning Commission is to consider this
proposal with the assumption that the property will be rezoned to Business and
Professional Offices and asked what types of uses are allowed in the Business and
Professional Offices zoning district. Zimmerman stated that office uses are permitted and
several other uses are allowed with a conditional use permit such as limited retail,
daycare, and financial institutions, among others.
Segelbaum asked about the setback requirements in the Business and Professional
Offices zoning district. Zimmerman stated they are in line with the Commercial zoning
district and in this case they are using the existing building which is conforming.
Segelbaum noted that some applications, like subdivisions, have standards they have to
meet and if those standards are met, the City has to approve the application. He asked if
conditional use permits fit in that category. Zimmerman said no, typically conditional use
permit proposals involve uses that are permitted, but have certain conditions attached to
help control negative impacts.
Phil Blasko, HTG Architects, stated that they will be adding bicycle racks to the site. He
explained that the fire lane is supposed to be 20 feet wide, but it will narrow to 19 feet at
the end of the canopy which the Fire Chief has said is ok.
Segelbaum stated that one factor they consider when reviewing conditional use permits is
if there is a need for the proposed use. He noted that in this case there is another credit
union nearby. Kluchka added that there are two other credit unions nearby. Segelbaum
asked the applicant why he thinks there is a need for this use at this location. Roger
Magnuson, Facilities Manager, Affinity Plus, said they have a lot of members in the
northwest metro area and they don't have a location in the area to serve them. Kluchka
asked where the next closest location is. Magnuson said there is a location near the
University of Minnesota.
Kluchka asked if Affinity Plus Credit Union is associated with a certain business.
Magnuson said it started with County and State employees, but it is now open to others.
Segelbaum asked Magnuson if they expect to have local customers. Magnuson stated
that they have 5,000 to 8,000 members in this zip code area and that they have been
looking for a location in this area for a number of years.
Waldhauser asked if their expectation is that this location would work for Affinity Plus for
the long term. Magnuson said yes.
Waldhauser asked if they would consider removing some of the excess parking area.
Magnuson said they don't anticipate a lot of growth in their drive-thru business, but that
they do get a lot of customers coming inside the building to do business with mortgages
and car loans, etc.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 5
Kluchka noted that this property probably won't be visible from Highway 55 and asked if
that would impact bringing in new customers. Magnuson said no, this is a destination
location and not a location that will be obtaining new customers every day.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Blum said he realizes that staff is saying that the Planning Commission should view this
proposal as being conditioned on the City Council's approval of the proposed rezoning
and re-guiding to Business and Professional Offices, but he questions if it is putting the
cart before the horse procedurally and if it is really a good way to do business. He stated
that as it stands the application is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not
meet the second factor they are to consider. Zimmerman stated that this is a unique
situation and that there were some limitations with the zoning that the applicant wasn't
aware of so the City doesn't want to penalize the applicant and wants to keep the process
moving forward. He added that the proposal will be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan if the City Council approves the rezoning and re-guiding of the property.
Waldhauser stated that the Planning Commission envisioned this area as a walkable,
residential area with services for those residents. The concern if the land use changes are
approved, is that she is not sure where that puts the City in terms of the broader
Comprehensive Plan vision. Zimmerman stated that the proposed use fits with the
Business and Professional Offices zoning district, but it is hard to predict what will fit in
the future when there may be a new mixed use zoning district.
Kluchka said he would be on board with this this proposal if it was a credit union with six
stories of condos on top of it because he thinks that was the intent. Segelbaum referred to
comments made at the previous meeting regarding this property and said there was a
sense among the Planning Commission to make this property a neighborhood asset and
to make the area more walkable. He questioned if this proposal achieves that. Blum
added that this business by its very nature is encouraging vehicles to drive to it with the
addition of the proposed drive-thru which isn't as pedestrian friendly as other businesses
might be. It also might not be consistent with the guidance they've received from the City
Council in regard to this area. Waldhauser noted that if the property is not rezoned it
could remain a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru which will have even more traffic than
the proposed credit union. However, if the property is a restaurant local neighborhood
people will walk to it. She added that the credit union won't be a neighborhood service
whereas a fast food restaurant would be. Segelbaum stated that this is an area that can
handle more density and this proposal isn't utilizing the land for that opportunity. He said
he doesn't want to lose an opportunity in this area.
Kluchka asked about the status of the proposed intersection improvements. Zimmerman
stated that staff has been working with MnDOT on improvements to the slip ramp on
Highway 55 in order to force cars to slow down as they leave the highway. Kluchka noted
that only traffic going west can access the slip ramp. Traffic going east on Highway 55 will
have to go to Boone and Decatur to get to the property.

Johnson stated he knows that they are trying to frame this area for future growth and that
changes can be made in the future, but he thinks it is a slippery slope to start defining
what a neighborhood is. He said he doesn't want to parse where customers are coming
from and he wants to be cautious how they talk about the applicant's business growth.
Segelbaum stated that the City has worked hard to plan for this area and he is not seeing
how this proposal addresses walkability or density.
Waldhauser stated that if they presume the rezoning happens then the question is how
does this use fit? She said she thinks the proposed use does fit in the area and that it will
be a quiet site for the residential properties nearby especially at night and on weekends.
Zimmerman agreed that there might not be any changes in this area for several years so
the City has to think of the best options for the short term.
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by Waldhauser to recommend approval of the proposed
Conditional Use Permit. Blum reiterated that he doesn't think this proposal is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan which is one of the factors they are supposed to consider
when reviewing conditional use permits. Segelbaum stated that another factor they are
supposed to consider is the demonstrated need for the proposed use and he doesn't think
that has been demonstrated. The motion to recommend approval failed. Commissioners
Johnson and Waldhauser voted yes. Commissioners Blum, Kluchka, and Segelbaum
voted no.
4. Major PUD Amendment— North Lilac Drive Addition — 810 Lilac Drive North —
PU-42, Amendment #6
Applicant: M+O Properties
Addresses: 810 Lilac Drive North
Purpose: To allow a 2,510 square foot building addition for storage and
warehouse space.
Goellner referred to a site plan, gave a brief history of the site, and explained the
applicant's request to remodel the existing office building and to add a warehouse space,
a patio, bicycle parking, a trash and recycling enclosure, and landscaping. She showed
the Commission renderings of the proposed warehouse addition and the location of the
patio and trash enclosure. She stated the uses on the property include offices and small
clinics and that the proposed small warehouse will be accessory to the anchor office
tenant, Platinum Remodeling. There will be no retail sales and no large clinic tenants. She
referred to the parking requirements and stated that 47 parking spaces are required and
that 48 spaces are proposed. The existing parking area will be reduced to accommodate
the new addition and patio and the parking area will be resurfaced to meet City Code and
ADA requirements. She added that a shared parking agreement with the adjacent
property owner can be required if there is a parking shortage in the future.

Kluchka asked for clarification on the location of the clinic use and asked Goellner if she
was referring to the pain clinic. Goellner said yes, she was referring to the pain clinic and
an acupuncture clinic.
Kluchka asked how this building will be differentiated/distinguished from the SUMA MRI
clinic next door. Goellner asked Kluchka if he meant how the land uses were
distinguished from each other. Kluchka asked how the design of the properties would be
differentiated.
Segelbaum asked about snow storage and removal and questioned if a condition should
be added to the recommendation. Goellner said she thinks that would be an appropriate
condition given the small amount of space for snow storage on this site.
Segelbaum asked if any conditions regarding sidewalks should be added to the proposal.
Goellner noted that the language regarding sidewalks in the application refers to internal
sidewalks. She stated that Lilac Drive is too narrow to add sidewalks typically required in
other PUD amendment proposals throughout the City.
Segelbaum referred to bicycle parking and asked if the City cares where that is placed.
Goellner said bicycle parking is typically located within 50 feet of the front door.
Segelbaum asked if a landscaping permit will be required. Goellner said a landscaping
plan is required, but probably not a permit because they are not removing much existing
landscaping and they will be meeting the landscaping requirements and working with the
pervious space as best as they can.
Blum noted that the landscaping plan shows that they will be planting buckthorn. Goellner
stated that staff would not support the planting of buckthorn.
Segelbaum stated that nothing was highlighted in the report in regard to what is being
proposed versus what is allowed in the underlying zoning district, but it looks as though
one setback is being reduced. Goellner stated that the north setback would be slightly
smaller.
Waldhauser noted that the proposed patio is a permeable surface and asked if there has
been any mention of grading the parking lot to have the patio catch some of the run-off.
Ben Delwiche, architect representing M+O Properties, stated that he assumes the
property owners will be looking into the amount of impervious surface on the site and
noted that the plans for the proposal were done to meet the minimum requirements.
Kluchka asked how this building will be distinguished from the building next door.
Delwiche stated that the existing building will be getting a facelift, including paint and
leaving the standing seam roof. New signage will help differentiate the properties as well.
Kluchka asked why they want to maintain the existing blue metal roof. Delwiche said it is
a high quality roof and it is in great shape. He added that the rest of the colors will be
muted with red accessories. Kluchka said there is an opportunity to make this building
visually appealing. He suggested some kind of variation in color because there is a lot of
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 8
the same color in a long span of wall and he would like some visual differentiation.
Delwiche agreed and said there are more recent graphics with more color shown. He
added that there will be textural differences as well.
Segelbaum asked if there is a snow removal plan in place. Delwiche said he doesn't know
if there is a plan in place currently, but there will be one.
Segelbaum asked what the patio will be used for. Delwiche said it will be used by
Platinum Remodeling employees and by the other tenants.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Kluchka referred to the recently constructed CenterPoint building which has a lot of white,
gray and black. He said he is concerned that if the Commission doesn't tell the applicant
to liven up the facade the City is going to have another gray building. Segelbaum
questioned if that is part of the Planning Commission's purview. Kluchka said it is and he
wants to see accurate renderings. Delwiche stated that the renderings submitted are a
first rendition. He said they are proud of the look of the building and feel the color palette
is appropriate given the mish-mash of buildings in the area. Kluchka said the building next
door is fairly historical and is a very different style, so he is sensitive to the context here.
Blum said he is excited to see this building getting some investments and he is glad the
applicant is investing in Golden Valley. Segelbaum agreed and said right now the building
looks like an old hotel and it will look more like an office building when it is finished.
Kluchka said he doesn't think the building will clash with the area, he would just like to
see more color variation across the walls. Johnson said he thinks the proposal is great
and it might pressure others in the area to bring their properties up.
MOVED by Blum, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the proposed PUD amendment with the following findings and conditions:
Findings-
1.
indings:1. Quality Site Planning. This amendment to the PUD aims to reinvest in a property
that requires updates in order to be viable in the current office market. The site is
relatively small, but the applicant has placed the building addition in a location that is
least impactful to its surroundings. By providing a patio with seating and bicycle
parking, the applicant is improving the site for future tenants.
2. Preservation. This amendment aims to preserve as much vegetation as possible.
Even though some would be removed for the proposed building addition, the
applicant plans to add 6 trees and 168 shrubs and perennials to the site.
3. Efficient & Effective. The PUD amendment includes efficient and effective use of
the land. The PUD plan provides for small office users to utilize this location near
major highways. The size of the warehouse addition is reasonable and fits well
within the current site plan.
4. Compatibility. The PUD amendment would result in an office development with a
small amount of warehouse space, which is compatible with adjacent office and
commercial uses. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 9
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the
general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. The PUD plan
provides high-quality landscaping additions to the site, an outdoor seating area,
bicycle parking, and an update to the parking lot in order to comply with ADA
requirements.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision
and all other PUD ordinance provisions. The PUD provision permits flexibility from
other provisions in Chapter 11 of the City Code. This flexibility is permitted in order
to promote the intent and purpose of the PUD section of the City Code.
Conditions:
1. The plans prepared by M+O Properties, submitted on May 12, 2016, shall become a
part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, June 3, 2016, shall become a part
of this approval.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire
Department to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, May 19, 2016, shall become a
part of this approval.
4. A detailed Lighting Plan in accordance with the City's Outdoor Lighting requirements
(Section 11.73) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit.
5. If the City determines at any time that there is an insufficient number of vehicle
parking spaces at 810 Lilac Drive North, the owner shall provide the City a written
parking mitigation plan to remedy the insufficiency, which shall include a shared
parking agreement with an adjacent landowner.
6. A snow storage/removal plan shall be submitted to and approved by staff.
7. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations,
or laws with authority over this development.
5. Brookview Community Center Presentation
Glen Waguespack, HGA Architects, gave a PowerPoint presentation of the design for the
new Brookview Community Center. He discussed the new building which will be a two-
story building with brick veneer and glass and will be clad in anodized aluminum. He
showed the Commissioners the floor plans and renderings of the interior and exterior of
the building. He discussed parking, loading, landscaped screening and some of the
sustainability strategies.
Waldhauser referred to the indoor play area and asked if it can be used for other things
as well. Waguespack said probably not, because the entire area is full of play structures.
Waldhauser asked if the senior spaces could be used as multi-purpose space especially
on nights and weekends. Waguespack said yes and explained that the plans call out
senior space, but it won't be exclusively used by, or labeled for seniors.
Blum asked if the child care area will be managed by staff. Waguespack said he believes
the space is just available for use and won't be staffed.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
June 13, 2016
Page 10
Johnson asked if there will be any space for teens. Waguespack said there isn't
designated teen space, but that is more of a programming issue.
Waldhauser asked if any consideration was given to a green roof design. Waguespack
said yes, but it is cost prohibitive. He noted that they will be installing a solar reflective
roof.
Blum referred to the fire pit area and asked if drinks would be served outdoors.
Waguespack said he believes so.
Segelbaum asked about the timing of the project. Waguespack said they are in the
construction document stage until the beginning of August, the bidding process will be in
September and they hope to start construction early October.

A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday,
May 24, 2016, at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Chair
Perich called the meeting to order at 7:03 pm.
Those present were Members Maxwell, Nelson, Orenstein, Perich and Planning
Commission Representative Waldhauser. Also present were Associate Planner/Grant
Writer Emily Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman.
I. Approval of Minutes—April 26, 2016, Regular Meeting
MOVED by Orenstein, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried 4 to 1 to approve the
April 26, 2016, minutes as submitted. Waldhauser abstained.
II. The Petition(s) are:
6100 Olson Memorial Highway
Verizon Wireless, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.36, Industrial Zoning District, Subd. 6 (C)(3)
Setback Requirements
• 4.5 ft. off of the required 20 ft. to a distance of 15.5 ft. at its closest point to
the rear yard (north) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a telecommunications tower.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.36, Industrial Zoning District, Subd. 6 (C)(3)
Setback Requirements
• .3 ft. off of the required 20 ft. to a distance of 19.7 ft. at its closest point to the
rear yard (west) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a telecommunications tower.
Goellner informed the Board that the applicant for this proposal withdrew their application
and submitted plans for a telecommunications tower that meets setback requirements.
1015 Quebec Avenue North
Walter Swierczek, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.65, Shoreland Management Subd. 5(A)
Setback Requirements
• 6 ft. off of the required 50 ft. to a distance of 44 ft. at its closest point to the
Ordinary High Water Line along the south property line.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
May 24, 2016
Page 2
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new porch.
Goellner referred to a location map of the property and explained the applicant's request
to remove an existing non-conforming deck and replace it with a front porch in the same
location. She stated that the required setback from the Ordinary High Water Line is 50 ft.
and the applicant is proposing to construct the porch 44 ft. from the Ordinary High Water
Line of Bassett Creek.
Goellner noted that the applicant's stated unique circumstance is that due to the City's
stream bank stabilization project, the Ordinary High Water Line of the creek has changed.
Goellner explained that the applicant submitted a survey from 1994 showing that the
porch currently being proposed would have met the 50-foot setback requirement at that
time. She explained that if the City worsens a non-conforming setback with a public
improvement project a property owner is entitled to obtain a variance by right for the non-
conforming setback.
Goellner stated that staff is recommending approval of the requested variance due to the
City's stabilization project, the triangular shape of the lot which restricts the buildable area,
the existing deck was built by a previous owner, and the location of the existing house and
the topography on the lot is challenging. She added that the proposed porch is reasonably
sized and will provide a typical front entrance to the house.
Waldhauser noted that the stream bank stabilization project made most areas of the creek
more meandering, but this section of it may have been straightened because the homes
on the opposite side of this home are much closer to the creek.
Walter Swierczek, Applicant, said he has lived in this home for 14 years and would like to
put a front entry on the house. He said he has been discussing his proposal with the City
since February and that the only other thing he can do without a variance is put a 25
square foot landing where the deck is currently located. He said he thinks the existing
deck is 42 ft. away from the Ordinary High Water Line and the proposed new porch will be
44 ft. away and no matter what he builds, it would still be located within the 50 ft. setback
area.
Waldhauser asked about the dimensions of the proposed porch. Swierczek said it will be
18 ft. x 6 ft. in size. Waldhauser asked Swierczek if he has checked the soils to make sure
it can support the proposed porch. Swierczek said yes.
Perich opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Perich
closed the public hearing.
MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried unanimously to approve
the variance request for 6 ft. off of the required 50 ft. to a distance of 44 ft. at its closest
point to the Ordinary High Water Line along the south property line.

Alex Barnett, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11
(A)(3)(a) Side Yard Setback Requirements
• 7.6 ft. off of the required 15 ft. to a distance of 7.4 ft. at its closest point to the
side yard (east) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a two-stall garage.
Goellner referred to a survey of the property and explained the applicant's request to
construct a second garage stall 7.4 ft. away from the side yard property line that would
line up with the edge of the existing driveway. She stated that the applicant is also
proposing to have 36-inch wide eaves on the garage addition in order to match the size
of the eaves on the rest of the house. She stated that the Zoning Code allows 30-inch
wide eaves/overhangs to be located in the setback area.
Goellner noted that the applicant's stated unique circumstances include the fact that the
home was built with a one-stall garage, a detached garage located in the rear yard
would not be as practical, and 36-inch wide overhangs already exist on the rest of the
home. She stated that staff is recommending approval of the requested variance
because it is unique to have a one stall garage, the home was not built by the current
landowner, the proposed size of the two-stall garage is reasonable and consistent with
the homes in the neighborhood, and the existing home has 36-inch wide eaves.
Waldhauser asked if the neighboring property to the east was informed of this proposal.
Goellner said a hearing notice for this meeting was sent to them. She added that the
neighboring home to the east is located approximately 19 ft. from the property line.
Alex Barnett, Applicant, stated that it would be nice to be able to put two cars in a
garage. He stated that this is the only house in the neighborhood with a one-stall
garage so his proposed garage would fit in better with the rest of the homes around his
if it has two-stalls. He added that the homes on both sides of his also have 36-inch wide
eaves and that they have said they are ok with his proposal.
Waldhauser asked if there will be a wall between the two garage stalls. Barnett said no,
the space will be open inside and it will have one 16-foot wide garage door.
Waldhauser asked if the space will be used to store a boat. Barnett said yes, he would
like to put his boat in the garage in the summer and only have one car outside.
Perich opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Perich closed the public hearing.
Nelson said the Board usually does what it can to allow people to have two garage
stalls. She added that a detached garage would be much more impactful to the
neighborhood. Perich agreed and said that in regard to the request for 36-inch wide
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals

Page 4
eaves he thinks it would look odd to have one eave be a different size than the others
on the house.
MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried unanimously to approve
the variance request for 7.6 ft. off of the required 15 ft. to a distance of 7.4 ft. at its
closest point to the side yard (east) property line.

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing- Major PUD Amendment Plan for North Lilac Drive Addition PUD No. 42,
Amendment #6 - 810 Lilac Drive North - M+O Properties, Applicant
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
M+0 Properties is requesting an amendment to the North Lilac Drive Addition PUD to remodel
the existing office building and construct an addition at 810 Lilac Drive. The property is currently
owned by First National Bank after foreclosure by the previous owner. It is located in PUD 42,
which also includes the property located to the north at 820 Lilac Drive. This building is the last
remaining portion of the former Holiday Motor Hotel, which was built in 1947. After the buildings
were vacant for several years, a PUD plan was approved in 1984 to allow for the conversion of
the hotel to office use.
The underlying Zoning designation of these properties is Business and Professional Offices. This
proposal meets most requirements for Business and Professional Offices in Golden Valley. Many
of the inconsistencies are due to existing conditions. The applicant plans to build a 2,510 square
foot warehouse addition on a portion of the existing parking lot. In this location, a patio with
seating, additional landscaping, trash and recycling storage, and bicycle parking would also be
provided. The plan also includes the repaving of the surface parking lot and restriping of the
parking spaces in order to bring them into compliance with City Code and ADA requirements. The
applicant proposes that the building continue to be used for business, office, and clinic tenants
with warehouse and storage space available. Retail sales or other activities that are commercial
in nature are not anticipated due to constraints in site access, parking, and building design. All
new tenants would operate under standard business hours (7am-6pm Monday-Friday) with some
potential for limited hours on Saturdays between the hours of 9am and 4pm.
Neighborhood Meeting
The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting on June 6, but there were not any residents in
attendance.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on June 13 and unanimously recommended
approval. One condition of approval was added to the recommendation, which requested a snow
storage plan for the site. The applicant has since provided a snow storage plan that staff finds to
be adequate (see attached).
In order approve an amendment to a PUD, the City must be able to make the following findings:
1. Quality Site Planning. This amendment to the PUD aims to reinvest in a property that
requires updates in order to be viable in the current office market. The site is relatively
small, but the applicant has placed the building addition in a location that is least impactful
to its surroundings. By providing a patio with seating and bicycle parking, the applicant is
improving the site for future tenants.
2. Preservation. This amendment aims to preserve as much vegetation as possible. Even
though some would be removed for the proposed building addition, the applicant plans to
add 6 trees and 168 shrubs and perennials to the site.
3. Efficient & Effective. The PUD amendment includes efficient and effective use of the land.
The PUD plan provides for small office users to utilize this location near major highways.
The size of the warehouse addition is reasonable and fits well within the current site plan.
4. Compatibility. The PUD amendment would result in an office development with a small
amount of warehouse space, which is compatible with adjacent office and commercial uses.
It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general
health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. The PUD plan provides high-
quality landscaping additions to the site, an outdoor seating area, bicycle parking, and an
update to the parking lot in order to comply with ADA requirements.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all
other PUD ordinance provisions. The PUD provision permits flexibility from other provisions
in Chapter 11 of the City Code. This flexibility is permitted in order to promote the intent
and purpose of the PUD section of the City Code.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment#6 to North Lilac Drive Addition PUD No. 42, subject
to the following conditions:
1. The plans prepared by M+O Properties, submitted on May 12, 2016, shall become a part of
this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager,June 3, 2016, shall become a part of this
approval.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire Department
to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, May 19, 2016, shall become a part of this
approval.
4. A detailed Lighting Plan in accordance with the City's Outdoor Lighting requirements
(Section 11.73) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit.
5. If the City determines at any time that there is an insufficient number of vehicle parking
spaces at 810 Lilac Drive North, the owner shall provide the City a written parking
mitigation plan to remedy the insufficiency, which shall include a shared parking agreement
with an adjacent landowner.
6. A snow storage/removal plan shall be submitted to and approved by staff.
7. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

Waldhauser stated that if they presum re g happens then the question is how
does this use fit? She said she thinks the sed use does fit in the area and that it will
be a quiet site for the residential prop nea specially at night and on weekends.

PU-42, Amendment#6
Applicant: M+O Properties
Addresses: 810 Lilac Drive North
Purpose: To allow a 2,510 square foot building addition for storage and
warehouse space.
Goellner referred to a site plan, gave a brief history of the site, and explained the
applicant's request to remodel the existing office building and to add a warehouse space,
a patio, bicycle parking, a trash and recycling enclosure, and landscaping. She showed
the Commission renderings of the proposed warehouse addition and the location of the
patio and trash enclosure. She stated the uses on the property include offices and small
clinics and that the proposed small warehouse will be accessory to the anchor office
tenant, Platinum Remodeling. There will be no retail sales and no large clinic tenants. She
referred to the parking requirements and stated that 47 parking spaces are required and
that 48 spaces are proposed. The existing parking area will be reduced to accommodate
the new addition and patio and the parking area will be resurfaced to meet City Code and
ADA requirements. She added that a shared parking agreement with the adjacent
property owner can be required if there is a parking shortage in the future.

Kluchka asked for clarification on the location of the clinic use and asked Goellner if she
was referring to the pain clinic. Goellner said yes, she was referring to the pain clinic and
an acupuncture clinic.
Kluchka asked how this building will be differentiated/distinguished from the SUMA MRI
clinic next door. Goellner asked Kluchka if he meant how the land uses were
distinguished from each other. Kluchka asked how the design of the properties would be
differentiated.
Segelbaum asked about snow storage and removal and questioned if a condition should
be added to the recommendation. Goellner said she thinks that would be an appropriate
condition given the small amount of space for snow storage on this site.
Segelbaum asked if any conditions regarding sidewalks should be added to the proposal.
Goellner noted that the language regarding sidewalks in the application refers to internal
sidewalks. She stated that Lilac Drive is too narrow to add sidewalks typically required in
other PUD amendment proposals throughout the City.
Segelbaum referred to bicycle parking and asked if the City cares where that is placed.
Goellner said bicycle parking is typically located within 50 feet of the front door.
Segelbaum asked if a landscaping permit will be required. Goellner said a landscaping
plan is required, but probably not a permit because they are not removing much existing
landscaping and they will be meeting the landscaping requirements and working with the
pervious space as best as they can.
Blum noted that the landscaping plan shows that they will be planting buckthorn. Goellner
stated that staff would not support the planting of buckthorn.
Segelbaum stated that nothing was highlighted in the report in regard to what is being
proposed versus what is allowed in the underlying zoning district, but it looks as though
one setback is being reduced. Goellner stated that the north setback would be slightly
smaller.
Waldhauser noted that the proposed patio is a permeable surface and asked if there has
been any mention of grading the parking lot to have the patio catch some of the run-off.
Ben Delwiche, architect representing M+O Properties, stated that he assumes the
property owners will be looking into the amount of impervious surface on the site and
noted that the plans for the proposal were done to meet the minimum requirements.
Kluchka asked how this building will be distinguished from the building next door.
Delwiche stated that the existing building will be getting a facelift, including paint and
leaving the standing seam roof. New signage will help differentiate the properties as well.
Kluchka asked why they want to maintain the existing blue metal roof. Delwiche said it is
a high quality roof and it is in great shape. He added that the rest of the colors will be
muted with red accessories. Kluchka said there is an opportunity to make this building
visually appealing. He suggested some kind of variation in color because there is a lot of

the same color in a long span of wall and he would like some visual differentiation.
Delwiche agreed and said there are more recent graphics with more color shown. He
added that there will be textural differences as well.
Segelbaum asked if there is a snow removal plan in place. Delwiche said he doesn't know
if there is a plan in place currently, but there will be one.
Segelbaum asked what the patio will be used for. Delwiche said it will be used by
Platinum Remodeling employees and by the other tenants.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Kluchka referred to the recently constructed CenterPoint building which has a lot of white,
gray and black. He said he is concerned that if the Commission doesn't tell the applicant
to liven up the facade the City is going to have another gray building. Segelbaum
questioned if that is part of the Planning Commission's purview. Kluchka said it is and he
wants to see accurate renderings. Delwiche stated that the renderings submitted are a
first rendition. He said they are proud of the look of the building and feel the color palette
is appropriate given the mish-mash of buildings in the area. Kluchka said the building next
door is fairly historical and is a very different style, so he is sensitive to the context here.
Blum said he is excited to see this building getting some investments and he is glad the
applicant is investing in Golden Valley. Segelbaum agreed and said right now the building
looks like an old hotel and it will look more like an office building when it is finished.
Kluchka said he doesn't think the building will clash with the area, he would just like to
see more color variation across the walls. Johnson said he thinks the proposal is great
and it might pressure others in the area to bring their properties up.
MOVED by Blum, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the proposed PUD amendment with the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. Quality Site Planning. This amendment to the PUD aims to reinvest in a property

Subject: Informal Public Hearing— Final PUD Plan for North Lilac Drive Addition PUD No. 42,
Amendment #6—810 Lilac Drive North — M+0 Properties, Applicant
Summary
M+O Properties is requesting an amendment to the North Lilac Drive Addition PUD to remodel
the existing office building and construct an addition at 810 Lilac Drive. The property is currently
owned by First National Bank bank after foreclosure by the previous owner. It is located in PUD
42, which also includes the property located to the north at 820 Lilac Drive. The underlying
Zoning designation of these properties is
Business and Professional Offices.

plan was approved in 1984 to allow for
the conversion of the hotel to office use.
A few years later, the hotel buildings f ' !

story office building at 820 Lilac Drive
was built, which is now occupied by
Endura Credit Union. Other minor t.,i '%V
amendments were made in the past aswell. PUD 42 - 810& 820 Lilac Drive North - Site Map
Summary of Proposal
Even though this building may also be remodeled as part of this project, the interior remodeling
does not require any change to the PUD. Therefore, this analysis is focused on the changes to the
exterior of the building and the site plan. The existing 2-story building is 20,109 square feet. The
applicant plans to build a 2,510 square foot warehouse addition on a portion of the existing
parking lot. In this location, a patio with seating, additional landscaping, trash and recycling
storage, and bicycle parking would also be provided. The plan also includes the repaving of the
surface parking lot and restriping of the parking spaces in order to bring them into compliance
with City Code and ADA requirements.
The applicant proposes that the building continue to be used for business, office, and clinic
tenants with warehouse and storage space available. Retail sales or other activities that are
commercial in nature are not anticipated due to constraints in site access, parking, and building
design. In accordance with City Code, the introduction of any commercial use such as retail to this
property would require Planning Commission and City Council approval. It is stated in the
application that all new tenants would operate under standard business hours (7am-6pm
Monday-Friday) with some potential for limited hours on Saturdays between the hours of gam
and 4pm.
Comparison to Underlying Zoning Requirements
Even though a PUD provides for flexibility, it is helpful to understand how this proposal compares
to the City's Zoning requirements. This proposal meets most requirements for Business and
Professional Offices in Golden Valley. Many of the inconsistencies are due to existing conditions.
A PUD was created in 1984 because the existing buildings did not meet setback requirements, the
minimum parking requirements could not be met under typical calculations, and the owner at the
time was proposing a new type of land use that would incorporate a mixture of office and
residential in the same building.

Minimum Bicycle Parking 10%of required car parking 6 spaces proposed
= 5 spaces required
Parking
This site requires a minimum of 47 parking spaces and the applicant plans to provide 48 spaces.
Since 1984, parking requirements have been calculated slightly different than usual due to the
unique reuse of the building. This building was originally used as separate motel units in which
each unit has an individual restroom. There is an unusual amount of restrooms when compared
to a standard office building. In past approvals, the restrooms have not been included in the
square footage that is used to conduct the parking calculation. Staff is comfortable with this
method. The applicant also removed the stairway and mechanical room square footage from the
parking calculation since it is not space occupied by an office or warehouse use. Staff does not
typically remove these areas from the calculation, but a PUD provides for flexibility in parking
requirements. Staff finds that the parking on this site will be adequate since retail sales and other
commercial uses will not be permitted. If there is a shortage of parking in the future, the
applicant will be required to pursue a shared parking arrangement with surrounding property
owners. At that time, staff will also work the applicant to assess the reasons for the parking
shortage and work to create a plan that mitigates against any future parking shortages.
Bicycle Parking
The City of Golden Valley requires 5 spaces on this property, which is 10%total car parking
required. The applicant has provided 6 spaces. The bicycle parking spaces would be located on
the pervious patio.
Building Materials
The new addition will consist primarily of metal panels and concrete masonry units, which is
similar or complimentary to the existing building. Architectural elevations are included in the
application and provide more detail on the horizontal and vertical texture that is provided for
visual interest. The colors of the exterior materials will include dark blue, gray, black, and red.
Tree & Landscaping Requirements
The applicant has submitted landscaping plans which indicate a significant concentration of trees
and landscaping around the perimeter of the site. The applicant plans to plant 6 new trees, 168
shrubs and perennials, which meets the City's minimum landscape requirements.
Engineering
The Engineering Division has addressed site access, sanitary sewer and water services, landscaping,
and stormwater management within the attached memorandum and no changes to the proposed
plan are necessary. Engineering staff recommends approval of the proposed plan.
Fire Safety
The Fire Department is recommending approval of the proposed plan, as stated in the attached
memorandum. There are no outstanding issues to address at this time.
Development Timeline
If this proposal is approved by City Council, M+O Properties and Platinum Remodeling would like to
begin construction in August. The applicant hopes to have the project complete on January 2, 2017.
Signs and Lighting
A detailed Lighting Plan will be required prior to the issuance of the building permit. The Lighting
Plan must comply with the outdoor lighting requirements in the City Code. The applicant noted
that it's likely that the existing lighting is not compliant with City Code, which will be replaced in
order comply with Code. The applicant has provided a Signage Plan, which is consistent with City
Code.
Neighborhood Meeting
The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting on June 6, but there were not any residents in
attendance.
Findings for Approval
In order approve an amendment to a PUD, the City must be able to make the following findings:
1. Quality Site Planning. This amendment to the PUD aims to reinvest in a property that
requires updates in order to be viable in the current office market. The site is relatively
small, but the applicant has placed the building addition in a location that is least impactful
to its surroundings. By providing a patio with seating and bicycle parking, the applicant is
improving the site for future tenants.
2. Preservation. This amendment aims to preserve as much vegetation and pervious Even
though some would be removed for the proposed building addition, adds roughly 63 trees,
503 shrubs, and over 1,000 perennial and grasses to the site
3. Efficient & Effective. The PUD amendment includes efficient and effective use of the land.
The PUD plan provides for small office users to utilize this location near major highways.

mitigation plan to remedy the insufficiency, which shall include a shared parking agreement
with an adjacent landowner.
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

I. NARRATIVE
A. The purpose of the presented PUD amendment is to approve an addition to the existing
property at 810 Lilac Drive North, which is part of a larger renovation to the overall
property in an effort to revitalize the neglected building, combine several small units
into one office suite and add needed warehouse/storage space for the larger combined
tenant unit.
B. GENERAL PARCEL INFORMATION
1. Address: 810 Lilac Drive North
2. Property ID: 19-029-24-21-0019
I PUD#: 42
4. Area: 0.97 acres(42,172sgft)
5. Lot Perimeter: 9451f (N-140; E-274;S-230;W-328)
b. Year Constructed: 1958
C. PROPERTY BACKGROUND
1. Originally constructed as part of 3 building motel complex that included a restaurant
and bar, the north two buildings were demolished sometime in the mid-90's to
accommodate the current building at 820 Lilac. The southernmost building, 810
Lilac Drive North, was converted to business and professional office suites around
that time period and is currently operating as such. With minor renovations to
date,the building has fallen into disrepair and is in need of general maintenance as
well as re-finishing to provide a desirable business and professional office location
for prospective tenants.
11. SITE/DEVELOPMENT PLAN
A. PUD PROPOSAL COMPONENTS
1. The following address the existing and proposed changes to the site plan to
accommodate the general building re-configuration in line with the overall city
codes and intent of the Planned Unit Development provisions.
B. LAND USES AND PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGES
1. The property parcel will remain the size as existing. The existing building footprint is
approximately 20,109sgft of total lot coverage, which is currently being utilized as
business office space and shall remain as business and professional office space.
An addition to the northwest end of the existing building will add 2,510sf total to
the overall footprint and bring the total building footprint to 22,619sf. This addition
will be utilized as support storage and warehouse space for the fourteen existing
tenant units that will be combined into a single larger office suite.
At a total lot square footage of 42,172sgft, the building currently occupies
approximately 25% of the total lot. After the proposed building addition, the
building footprint will increase 5%to 30%of the total building to lot coverage.
Page 1 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North /PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
C. LOCATIONS OF BUILDINGS
1. See attached site plan with location of existing building and proposed location of
building addition. The building addition will encompass the far north end of the
existing north stair tower and extend directly west towards Lilac Drive, splitting the
current single parking lot into 2 separate parking areas.
The 'L-shaped'general footprint of the existing building is very linear with the most
prominent leg parallel to main access street, Lilac Drive, and extending north. The
proposed addition to the west creates more of a C-shaped building with a central
entrance courtyard that contains all tenant office access at the prominent elevation
and allows the less desirable features, such as trash storage/access,overhead doors
and other service entrances to be at an elevation of lesser prominence at the far
north.
D. EXISTING& PROPOSED ROADWAYS AND ACCESSES
1. No roadways or access points from roadways will be altered from the existing
configuration.
E. PROPOSED PARKING AREAS
1. The existing parking area will remain in the same footprint as currently functioning.
As previously mentioned, the proposed addition to the West and North Elevations
will split the current parking lot into two separate parking areas that will be
accessed by the separate drive accesses from the west.
The proposed parking lots will be revised to be compliant with ADA/Handicapped
code requirements, which it is currently not in compliance with. This will require
the relocation of the 2 ADA parking stalls to a more central location on the east side
of the lot with a central access aisle and compliant curb cuts.
Also,the entire parking lot footprint will be re-surfaced with new asphalt topping to
correct existing elevation changes, and water ponding at deteriorating/pitting
existing concrete surface. As the current stalls vary in their sizes, the new surface
will be re-painted to the correct, City mandated parking stall dimensions of 9'-0"
deep and 18'-6"wide for 90-degree parking.
See Section on Transportation/Parking and Building Occupancy for further
discussion of the existing and proposed parking counts, as well as the applicants'
ability to accommodate general building patronage.
F. PEDESTRIAN AREAS&SITE AMENITIES
1. Sidewalks: The larger extent of the existing pedestrian walkways will remain in the
same configuration. The largest renovations will involve the revision around the
addition to provide access between the newly split parking lot areas.
2. Public and Common Areas: There are currently no common or public areas on the
existing site. The added access between the north and south parking lot will have a
pervious patio area that flanks the relocated trash and recycling storage area with
bike racks and table seating. Six bicycle parking spots will be accommodated on the
site,where none was present previous.
In addition to the patio area to the west of the addition,the southern inside corner
of the existing building contains an area that is lightly landscaped with only 2 shrubs
Page 2 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North / PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
and a smaller tree that we would like to convert to more densely vegetated area
with 2 seating areas directly off the access sidewalk with benches.
3. City Amenities: There is currently no access to any recreation and service areas
nearby with no plans for future extension to connect to any in the area. Existing
building and adjacent parking lot are impeding on any possible connection routes.
G. SITE MAINTENANCE
1. The property will be maintained by the new building Owner, including all
landscaped or grassed areas, public and common spaces and impervious surfaces,
such as sidewalks, patio area and overall parking lot.
a. Snow Storage and Removal: There is pervious surface space at the perimeter
of all parking areas that would allow for snow storage and filtration via
landscaped and grassed areas. Any excess snow removal that cannot be
accommodated within the site will have to be removed off-site location, which
will be contracted by the Building Owner.
b. Solid Waste Management and Recycling Plan: Waste management and
recycling program will be taken care of by a contracted company for the
property. The designated area will be serviced weekly on the dates determined
by the trash service.
The location for trash and recycling shall be directly to the west of the addition.
This area will be screened by a eight foot (8') high fence system that will
completely hide both bins, but allow for easier and quicker access as it is closer
to the street and drive access. This will also act as a limit to the north side of
the patio area and will be surround by landscape to help alleviate any concerns
with odor.
In addition, a recycling program will be introduced to the property, which was
not previously available. It is anticipated that all items available for recycling
shall be accommodated including paper products,plastic,metals, and glass.
H. FENCING
1. The only fencing that shall be added to the site shall be that surrounding the revised
location of the waste and recycling area. As shown on the elevations and site plans,
the overall footprint of the area is 20'W x 10'D x 8'H directly to the west of the
addition. This area is closer to the driveway access and shall allow for direct access
by all patrons via 4'W gate door at the south elevation and access by contracted
company on the north side with double doors at approximately 12'W.
The finishes show on the elevation and intended for installation shall be a structural
tube frame that is painted black to match the re-painted railing system with inset
sealed cedar planks running horizontally in varying sizes.
II. PRESERVATION PLAN
A. INTENT/DESCRIPTION OF WORK
1. The proposed site work is based on the revisions required to the existing site to
construct the addition to the west of the north end of the building. The larger site
Page 3 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North / PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
plan intent will remain as is, with a general re-freshing of the existing vegetation
areas and significant amount of infill to comply with the following requirements.
B. WETLANDS AND PONDS
1. The north end of the property is adjacent to a small holding pond that is roughly 30'
from the edge of the property line, which is flanked by the existing parking lot.
There are existing native grasses, and shrubs that line a portion on the pond. It is
the intent of the applicant to work with the City Forestry Department to determine
if the existing landscape supplies enough of a riparian buffer strip to satisfy the
requirements of the Section 4.32 - Tree and Landscape Requirements. There is
limited amount of the current property available between the pond and the existing
parking area,which should be taken into consideration.
C. BUFFERS
1. The position of the existing building at the far southeast corner of the building
allows for limited amount of buffers along the south and east edges of the
property. The south edge of the property contains a line of large bushes that
extends the length of the building from east to west that will be maintained as is.
The east edge of the property is approximately 5' feet to an adjacent drive that
services the residential condos directly behind the building, which has limited
capacity to accommodate any vegetation as the higher elevation does not allow
access to the space from the larger building grade elevation. However,just beyond
the north end of the building on the east side,there is a retaining wall that currently
has 12-14 cedar trees that act as a buffer to the adjacent property. A portion of the
trees will need to be removed to accommodate the addition and have been
accounted for within the allowed tree removal quantities as discussed further.
The applicant would like to maintain the west property edge to the property to
maintain the visibility to the property from the street. There is a number of trees
that are large in overall size/height and the addition of more significant trees would
impede on the property visibility.
The north elevation was previously discussed as the required riparian strip to the
adjacent pond.
D. TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLAN:
1. Tree and Landscape Permit: The applicant is not increasing the impervious surface
within the existing lot by 10%. Therefore, we believe that a tree and landscape
permit shall not be required, unless otherwise noted or directed by further
requirements.
2. Tree Removal Allowance: Per Golden Valley City Code, Legacy Tree and Significant
Tree removal shall only be removed in accordance with a City-approved Tree and
Landscape Plan with mitigation being required if the total number of existing trees
meet or exceed 30% for Single-Phase Development. The applicant is not altering
30% of the total number of existing trees on the lot.
3. Minimum Landscape Requirements: The applicant understands the importance of
landscape for filtration of storm water and to support to local ecological system and
therefore is submitting the landscape plan with the intent to bring the existing
property up to the minimum levels for development.
Page 4 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North /PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
Per the Business and Professional Office zoning, one tree shall be provided per 50
linear feet of lot perimeter and one shrub/perennial shall be provided per 5 linear
feet of lot perimeter. The existing property is 945 linear feet of total lot perimeter
yielding 19 trees and 189 shrub or perennials be provided for compliance.
4. Tree Protection: All site redevelopment shall comply with the required standards
for tree protection to ensure the existing vegetation is maintained throughout the
duration of construction.
I11. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. All below items are included to address the Stormwater Management requirements as
dictated by Section 4.31 - Stormwater Management. The total existing impervious site
area is calculated at just under 33,000sgft with the total anticipated disturbance to be
limited to approximately between 3,000-3,300 sqft.
B. IMPERVIOUS SURFACES
1. With the existing impervious surfaces currently at approximately 33,000sgft over
the total site area of 42,172sf, the existing impervious surface coverage is 78%.
The proposed site redevelopments will add 1,110sgft of additional impervious
surfaces with several areas of previously impervious surfaces being converted to
pervious surfaces. The total proposed impervious surface coverage will be revised
to be approximately 81%.
C. NON-APPLICABLE CODES/PERMITS: Based on the current code requirements, we
believe that the following are not applicable due to the provisions described:
1. NPDES/Minnesota Pollution Control Agency: Less than one acre of land will be
disturbed by the proposed activities.
2. Bassett Creek & Minnehaha Creek Watershed Districts: The property in discussion
is not within either districts.
3. Post-Construction Stormwater Management: The redevelopment of the site does
not impact or disturb at least one half acre of land OR disturb 15% of the existing
impervious surfaces. Therefore, we believe that the project as proposed does not
require submittal of Stormwater Management Plan.
D. APPLICABLE CODES: Based on the requirements, the applicant understands that the
following will be required for completion of the project.
1. Golden Valley Stormwater Management Permit: The proposed will be required to
obtain a City of Golden Valley Stormwater Management Permit as the proposed
activities will involve the following activities:
a. Construction, installation, demolition, modification or expansion of a building
foundation wall.
b. Cutting, filling, disposal, hauling in, or storage of more than thirty (30) cubic
yards of Soil.
c. Construction, reclamation, expansion,removal or modification of a parking lot.
Page 5 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North/PUD #42
Golden Valley,MN 55422
2. General Performance Standards: In addition to the above requirements, it is
understood that all General Performance Standards shall be compiled with for the
duration of construction and further beyond while operating the property.
IV. TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING PLAN
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. Lilac Drive North operates as a minor collector street that runs north to south along
the east side of Highway 100 just north of Highway 55 (Olson Memorial). The
transportation analysis zone(TAZ) is listed as 704. The applicant is not aware of any
planned road construction at this area.
B. ROADWAYS AND ACCESS DRIVEWAYS
1. As previously discussed, the existing roads and access driveways shall remain as
currently configured utilizing the existing curb cuts. As existing,the redevelopment
maintains all existing general traffic volumes and projections for the site. Due to
this there is no options or alternatives to the site proposed site use and rationale in
regards to the street,driveways and general site access.
C. PARKING
1. Revised Site Plan: The addition of the warehouse at the northwest of the existing
building will split the existing parking lot into two separate parking areas. See
attached plan with layout and dimension of all spaces and drive aisles, including
total count of spaces per parking bank and access from parking to building and
between lots.
2. Building Occupancy: As discussed further in later section addressing the existing
and proposed square footage of the building, the existing building occupancy is
calculated as 44 occupants and the revised building occupancy is calculated at 47
occupants.
3. Parking Counts: The existing parking lot accommodates approximately 62 total
parking spaces with 1 ADA/handicapped accessible unit. The applicant proposes to
reduce the total number of parking spaces to the accommodate the building
addition and the reduction will total 14 spaces to reduce to a total of 48 parking
spaces.
In addition, the existing ADA/handicapped accessible parking spaces are non-
conforming in overall count and location. This will be revised to comply with
current codes.
a. Shared Parking: If the current parking allowances becomes full at interval peak
time periods, the applicant is able to explore the option to contract parking
spots from adjacent lots within properties to the North, West& South based on
immediate need or as arises.
b. Occupancy Hour Balance: The existing building tenants operate at general
building hours, which typically can extend Monday through Friday from lam to
6pm and Saturday from gam to 4pm. These hours are extended for a typical
day for most businesses,which is due to the likelihood that different businesses
operate at different hours throughout the day and have peak usage times that
differ from adjacent businesses. Any offices relating to construction work or
Page 6 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North /PUD #42
Golden Valley,MN 55422
trades will generally operate earlier in the day from 7-4, however, medical
clinics may operate at later time with hours generally from 9-10am until 6-7pm.
This does not help to alleviate mid-day time periods when all businesses will be
in operation, but generally employees will be coming and going more frequently
for off-site meetings or other similar activities, which will help to balance the
parking situation on a daily basis.
4. Impervious Surface Coverage: The existing impervious surface percentage across
the existing site has been calculated as 78%. The majority of the proposed addition
is over the existing parking lot and does not contribute to additional square footage.
A small extension directly of the north side of the existing building will remove a
retaining wall with associated grasses and landscaping that will be converted to
impervious surfaces. The applicant has attempted to offset the addition square
footage of impervious surfaces by providing the patio surface as a pervious surface
and not a hard-scaped patio surface. This will allow for a larger amount of
stormwater filtration helping alleviate the already dense site conditions.
However, even with the pervious surfaced patio area to the west of the addition,
there is an increase in the overall impervious surfaces to the overall site of a total of
3% increasing overall to 81%. This is above the City code required 80% maximum
for business applications. Due to the reduction in overall parking spaces, it is
presented that the 1% overage could be to margins of square footage
measurements and would be willing to entertain cost effective suggestions for
impervious reduction that would be further contribute to an overall reduction to
parking stalls.
V. UTILITY&LIGHTING PLAN
A. UTILITY PLAN
1. All existing utilities and infrastructure services shall remain as existing, including the
existing water service,and electrical.
2. Inflow/infiltration Compliance: The City has completed the required 1/1 inspection of
the main sanitary sewer lines, which it has determined shall require correction prior
to any work beginning at the property. See attached contract for correction work.
B. LIGHTING PLAN
1. The existing property currently has three overhead parking light fixtures; see site
plan for exact locations. Based on the final approved site development plan, the
lighting shall be revised to be compliant with requirements for Parking Lot Lighting
(11.73, Subd 10), which mandates the minimum level of footcandles of 0.2fc and
maximum level of 4.Ofc.
We are currently in the process of determining the existing lighting fixture output
and configuration, but generally believe that the lighting levels are too low and shall
be supplemented with the final site layout within the set parameters. In addition,
the existing fixture may contribute to light trespass and/or do not have automatic
shut-offs/reduction for light curfew, which shall be fully amended to comply with
the correct City mandated codes requirements.

Golden Valley, MN 55422
VI. BUILDING CODE ANALYSIS
A. GENERAL LISTING:. The current code plan is included within the Appendix section and
fully references applicable codes for renovation and new construction. The applicant
has completed an initial plan review with the City of Golden Valley, and general layout,
egress and other items were agreed to as currently presented.
1. The following is a general overview of the code review data for the building:
'B' -Business/'S-l'-Storage; No separation
Occupancy: required
Building Construction: Type IIB; Masonry Exterior Walls with Wood
Roof Construction
Automatic Fire Sprinkler: Existing-Yes;Addition-Yes
Al. OCCUPANCY
A. PARCEL POPULATION INFORMATION
1. The property in proposed for amendment is a previously approved Planned Unit
Development (#42)that is included with the property to the North (820 Lilac Dr N).
The underlay zoning use of the total parcel is listed a 'Business & Professional
Offices' use. The buildings directly to the West (800 Lilac Dr N) and South (604 Lilac
Dr N) are both zoned as 'Commercial'. The properties directly to the East (600 Lilac
Dr N) is zoned as`Medium Density(R-3)'.
As the building currently operates as business and professional office space,this will
be maintained with any renovations and tenants. The building is at about 40 %
capacity currently with several existing tenants remaining in place, and some shall
be re-located to accommodate new construction.
All new tenants will be professional office space and operate during standard
business hours with possibly limited Saturday hours. No overnight or tenants
utilizing their space as a residential unit will be allowed.
B. BUILDING OCCUPANCY/DENSITY
1. As the building was originally constructed as a motel with individual restrooms in
each individual unit that currently operates as tenant space, the amount of
associated square footage that these restroom occupy is significant to the overall
square footage of the building. As shown in the charts listed below, approximately
27% of the total occupiable tenant unit square footage for each unit can be
attributed to the existing restrooms. For this reason, the applicant proposes that
the actual building occupancy be calculated without the inclusion of the restroom
square footage as these spaces will not be occupiable space for a business office
space.
This is reinforced by the way the current tenant suites are utilizing the leased
individual office suites, which is as single occupant office suites with minimal
storage and the single restroom.
Page 8 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North/ PUD #42
Golden Valley,MN 55422
2. Existing: The existing building has 39 total units in varying square footage. The total
occupiable square footage without counting individual unit restrooms', circulation
spaces (stair towers and exterior walkways), mechanical rooms and storage spaces
is approximately 10,880sf.

Based on the total net assignable square footage of the business spaces and
applying the occupancy load factor per use as mandated by City Section 11.70,the
total number of occupants can be calculated at 44 total occupants.
3. Proposed: After renovations, the building will contain 26 total tenant units,
including 22 identically sized units, 2 larger units that occupy the ends of the
building and 2 slightly larger units at the west end. The revised square foot total
quantities per space are listed below:

As previous, these totals do not include the circulation areas at the open air stair
towers (431sgft) and the storage/mechanical room (1635sf) for a total net square
footage of 17,044sgft of occupiable building space.
Based on the total net assignable square footage of the business spaces (11,362sf)
and added warehouse space (2510sf),the applied occupancy load factors would be
Page 9 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North / PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
1 occupant per 250sf for business uses and 1 occupant per 3,000sf for
warehouse/storage space. The total calculated occupants would be approximately
47 occupants(46+1).
4. Building Schedule-Hours: As discussed previously in Site Development,the building
will operate and be occupied during regular business hours of Monday through
Friday from 7am-6pm and Saturday from 9-4. There is no overnight or sleeping
quarters.
5. Life-Cycle & Affordable Uses: While the property is not intended for affordable
residential housing, the commercial space that is provided does attempt to fill a
need for smaller to mid-sized office,and individual office/business suites.
VIII. ARCHITECTURAL PLANS
A. GENERAL
1. All architectural overall building plans, renovated office suite plans, elevations and
3-D renderings are included within the Appendix section, which are referenced
throughout this section. Photo-realistic renderings incorporating all color schemes
and finishes shall be presented at both the Planning Commission and Council
meetings.
B. FLOOR PLANS
1. Fourteen (14) existing tenant suites will be converted to a larger, single office suite
with attached storage and warehouse space. This office area will cover seven (7)
first floor units and seven (7) second floor units that are stacked directly above each
other, located on the very north end of the existing building and encompass the
north stair tower W.
A portion of the existing floor on the second floor will be removed to accommodate
a two-story lobby that will be accessed by a new exposed stair system in lobby.
Open offices, a larger conference room, office and workshop storage spaces,
employee kitchen, restrooms, and other miscellaneous functions will all provide a
mid-sized office space that could fit any number of business types.
C. ELEVATIONS& RENDERINGS
1. The elevations and renderings show the general massing of the proposed building in
relation to the adjacent building. All
2. Materials: The renovations will introduce metal panel wall system to the building at
the addition and to the infill between bearing walls at the newly renovated office
suites. In addition to the metal panel system, the other materials shall be concrete
masonry units, which is what the building is currently constructed of, that will be
utilized for foundation walls and standing seam roofing that will also be used. It is
the intent that as tenants are contracted for lease, the individual units will be
individually renovated, which will limit the palette to the proposed finishes and
color options for the building.
3. Color Scheme: The existing standing seam roof system will remain in place and
therefore all colors must work with the 'Dark Royal Blue' color. The applicant will
re-paint the building in varying colors of dark gray and charcoal tones with black
(railings and windows) and red (exterior doors) accents to work with the existing
Page 10 of 13
M+O Properties 810 Lilac Drive North / PUD #42
Golden Valley, MN 55422
standing seam roof color. This palette will be complimented by the metal panel
system at the addition.
a. All colors are Benjamin Moore:
• Dark Royal Blue(2065-20)-Color Match to existing roof system
• Anchor Gray(2126-30)-Exterior Walls
• Ebony King(2132-20)-Railing and Window Systems
• Caliente(AF-290)-Exterior Doors&Accents

valley Physical Development Department
763-593-8095/763-593-8109(fax)
Date: June 3, 2016
To: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
From: Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Subject: 810 Lilac Drive North PUD Amendment 6—Plan Review
Engineering staff has reviewed the plans for the PUD amendment submitted by M+O Properties
on May 12, 2016 and has the following comments.
1. Right-of-Way Management. The applicant proposes to resurface the existing parking lot
and perform sewer repairs as part of the project. If any of the proposed work involves
excavation or obstruction within the public street, right-of-way, or easement areas, a City
Right-of-Way Management Permit is required. Please contact Eric Seaburg at
ESeaburg@goldenvalleymn.gov for more information.
2. Stormwater Management. The property is located within the Sweeney Lake
subwatershed of the Bassett Creek watershed and currently provides no stormwater
treatment before discharging off site. However, the proposed project has less than one-
half acre of land disturbance and therefore does not require post-construction storm
water quality treatment. As a way to reduce the volume of stormwater discharging off
site, the applicant has proposed pervious pavement west of the new addition. This
proposed practice is consistent with the Sweeney Lake Total Maximum Daily Load Study
which was conducted to help improve the water quality of Sweeney Lake, and therefore
staff finds this proposal to be acceptable. The applicant will need to obtain a City
stormwater management permit for the land disturbance and must submit a grading,
drainage and erosion control plan as part of the application submittal. Contact Tom
Hoffman at THoffman@goldenvalleymn.gov for more information.
C:\Users\lwittman\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\00B177H3\PUD Amendment 6_eng review.doa
3. Tree and Landscape Plan. The applicant is not increasing the amount of impervious
surface area by 10% and therefore the proposed project does not require a Tree and
Landscape permit. The applicant has submitted a tree and landscape plan with the
intention of bringing the site into compliance with the City's minimum landscape
standards. Staff reviewed the plan and finds it to be acceptable, except for the proposal to
plant Fineline Buckthorn. This species is considered a restricted noxious weed and may
not be planted in Minnesota and therefore must be removed from the plan.
Summary and Recommendations
Engineering staff recommends approval of PUD Amendment 6 subject to the comments
contained in this review. Approval is also subject to the review and comments of the City
Attorney, other City staff, and other governmental entities. Please feel free to call me if you have
any questions regarding this review.

ORDINANCE NO. 607, 2ND SERIES
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
Approval of Major PUD Amendment Plan
North Lilac Drive Addition PUD. No. 42, Amendment#6
M+O Properties, LLP, 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 11.55, by approving a Major PUD
Amendment Plan to Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) 42 allowing the remodeling of
the existing office building and the construction of a 2,510 square foot warehouse
addition.
This PUD is subject to all of the terms of the permit to be issued including, but
not limited to the following specific conditions:
1. The plans prepared by M+O Properties, submitted on May 12, 2016, shall become
a part of this approval.
2. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the
Engineering Division to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, June 3, 2016, shall
become a part of this approval.
3. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Fire
Department to Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager, May 19, 2016, shall become
a part of this approval.
4. A detailed Lighting Plan in accordance with the City's Outdoor Lighting
requirements (Section 11.73) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
5. If the City determines at any time that there is an insufficient number of vehicle
parking spaces at 810 Lilac Drive North, the owner shall provide the City a written
parking mitigation plan to remedy the insufficiency, which shall include a shared
parking agreement with an adjacent landowner.
6. A snow storage/removal plan shall be submitted to and approved by staff.
7. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances,
regulations, or laws with authority over this development.
In addition the Council makes the following findings pursuant to City Code
Section 11.55, Subd. 6(Q):
1. Quality Site Planning. This amendment to the PUD aims to reinvest in a property
that requires updates in order to be viable in the current office market. The site is
relatively small, but the applicant has placed the building addition in a location that
is least impactful to its surroundings. By providing a patio with seating and bicycle
parking, the applicant is improving the site for future tenants.
2. Preservation. This amendment aims to preserve as much vegetation as possible.
Even though some would be removed for the proposed building addition, the
applicant plans to add 6 trees and 168 shrubs and perennials to the site.
3. Efficient & Effective. The PUD amendment includes efficient and effective use of
the land. The PUD plan provides for small office users to utilize this location near
Ordinance No. 607 -2- July 5, 2016
major highways. The size of the warehouse addition is reasonable and fits well
within the current site plan.
4. Compatibility. The PUD amendment would result in an office development with a
small amount of warehouse space, which is compatible with adjacent office and
commercial uses. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the
general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. The PUD plan
provides high-quality landscaping additions to the site, an outdoor seating area,
bicycle parking, and an update to the parking lot in order to comply with ADA
requirements.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision
and all other PUD ordinance provisions. The PUD provision permits flexibility from
other provisions in Chapter 11 of the City Code. This flexibility is permitted in order
to promote the intent and purpose of the PUD section of the City Code.
Section 2. The tracts of land affected by this ordinance is legally described as
follows:
Lots 1 and 3, Block 1, North Lilac Drive Addition P.U.D. No. 42
Section 3. City Code Chapter 1 entitled "General Provisions and Definitions
Applicable to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation" and Sec. 11.99
entitled "Violation a Misdemeanor" are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as
though repeated verbatim herein.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and
publication as required by law.
Adopted by the City Council this 5th day of July, 2016.

Agenda Item
6. A. Authorization to Sign Amended PUD Sub-Permit - Hidden Lakes PUD No. 74, Amendment
No. 6- 1725 Bridgewater Road - Arash Allaei, Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Arash Allaei and Padideh Safavi, property owners at 1725 Bridgewater Road, are seeking approval
of a Minor Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to allow for the modification of the
approved Landscape Plan for a portion of the Hidden Lakes PUD. This amendment would allow for
the replacement of a native vegetation buffer with rip-rap around a City storm water management
pond.
Background
The PUD was established in 1997 and allowed for the creation of a new residential development to
the east of Sweeney Lake. As part of this PUD, a Landscape Plan was adopted that governs all
aspects of landscaping throughout the development. Modifications to this plan require a PUD
amendment.
The proposed amendment involves a City storm water management pond that is partially located
at 1725 Bridgewater Road. The property owners have installed rip-rap around a significant portion
of the pond bank in place of the native vegetation buffer shown on the approved Landscape Plan.
They are requesting that the Landscape Plan be amended to allow the rip-rap to remain.
Analysis
Engineering staff have reviewed the proposed amendment, as reflected in the attached memo
from City Engineer Jeff Oliver, and have found it does not meet the required standards and
guidelines necessary for approval. Further, Planning staff believe that the proposed amendment
does not meet the requirement put forth in Section 11.55, Subd. 9: Multiple Parcels. In this case,
the installation of rip-rap around the storm water pond instead of a vegetative buffer would fail to
preserve or improve the water quality of Sweeney Lake and therefore could adversely affect other
lakeshore properties within the PUD. On this point alone, the Council may resect the proposed
amendment without review.
Accordingly, staff recommends denial of the requested Minor PUD Amendment based on the
findings outlined in the Engineering memo and the failure of the proposed amendment to meet the
requirements of Section 11.55, Subd. 9. If the amendment were to be approved, staff would
prepare the amended PUD Sub-Permit with any associated conditions for approval at a future City
Council meeting.

Subject: Hidden Lakes Planned Unit Development, Amendment#6
1725 Bridgewater Road
Background:
Arash Allaei and Padideh Safavi, property owners of 1725 Bridgewater Road in Hidden Lakes,
have applied for an amendment to the Hidden Lakes Planned Unit Development #74 (PUD). The
requested amendment is to vary from the Landscaping Plan that was approved as part of the PUD
to allow them to leave stone rip-rap that was placed without proper permitting on the banks of a
City storm water management pond located within a platted drainage and utility easement at the
property and a portion of the property to the south. This application for a PUD amendment
follows interaction between the property owners, City staff, the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) and the Hennepin County Environmental Services regarding
unpermitted work at the subject property.
The Hidden Lakes Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by the City of Golden Valley in
1997. As part of the PUD approval, the City assumed ownership and responsibility of the storm
sewer system within the PUD, including major maintenance for the storm water ponds. The
Hidden Lakes developer agreed to take on responsibility for "routine" maintenance of the ponds
including trash removal and management of the native vegetation buffer strips around the storm
water ponds. It is staff's understanding that the Hidden Lake Homeowners Association is
responsible for pond maintenance in common areas and has assigned this responsibility to
residents outside of the common areas. The City's responsibility for major maintenance includes
dredging the ponds as needed to remove accumulated sediment in order to maintain the water
quality benefits of the pond.
On May 6, 2015, City staff met with the homeowners to respond to questions regarding work in
and around the storm water pond and lakeshore areas on the subject property. The proposed
work included removal of volunteer trees adjacent to the storm water pond and filling in low
areas in the flood plain of Sweeney Lake. Staff informed the homeowners that removal of the
volunteer trees was acceptable without any permits and that other proposed work near the
storm water pond, lakeshore, and within the floodplain would require preparation of plans and
would likely require approval by the City, the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
(BCWMC) and the DNR.
On August 26, 2015 staff received several phone calls and e-mails regarding excavation and earth
work occurring near the shoreline of Sweeney Lake. During visits to the site, it was determined
that the homeowners had altered the shoreline and removed vegetation within Sweeney Lake,
placed fill in the floodplain, filled wetlands adjacent to the lake, placed rip-rap on the banks of
the City storm water pond and installed a fountain within the pond. This work had been
performed without a City Storm Water Management Permit, watershed review and approval, or
a permit from the DNR; therefore, a Stop Work Order was issued. The homeowners were
informed via letter delivered to the site that the installation of temporary erosion control
measures to prevent further impacts to the lake was the only work that could occur on site. In
addition, the homeowners were informed that plans for the work would need to be prepared for
review and approval by the City, BCWMC, Hennepin County, and the DNR. Staff notified the DNR
and the BCWMC of the situation at the subject property.
Also on August 26, 2015, a DNR Conservation Officer issued a verbal Stop Work Order to the
homeowners, again with the exception that the temporary erosion control measures could be
installed. Based upon voicemail messages and end e-mails left over night on August 26, 2015, and
observation of the site on August 27, 2015, it was determined that the homeowners had violated
the written and verbal Stop Work Orders issued by the City and DNR, and that the temporary
erosion control measures had not been installed. The DNR issued a formal Cease and Desist
Order on August 27, 2015.
City staff including the City Engineer visited the site on August 26, 2015 and notified the
homeowners that the work performed on site was in violation of the City's Storm Water
Management Ordinance and the Right of Way Management Ordinance. The Right of Way
Management Ordinance violation included excavation and placement of obstructions (rip-rap and
fountain) in the City storm water pond that is within a platted drainage and utility easement,
which is classified as public right-of-way in City Code.
In the months following issuance of the violations on site, the homeowners worked with the DNR
and Hennepin County regarding DNR Protected Waters and Wetland Conservation Act violations
on site. The corrective work for these violations have been performed and a preliminary
inspection by Hennepin County resulted in correspondence from the City to reseed the disturbed
areas. Additional inspections by the appropriate agencies will occur during the summer of 2016
to determine if the corrective measures were effective.
During the following weeks, staff met several times with the homeowners regarding the
violations of City Code. These discussions included the need to remove the fountain from the
storm water pond, to remove the rip-rap from the pond banks, and re-establishment of the
native vegetation buffer strip around the pond consistent with City Code and the approved
G:\Developments-Private\HiddenLake PUD Amend#6\Review Amend#6 061316.docx
Hidden Lakes PUD. Significant delays in preparation and submittal of the required plans to
address the code violations resulted in misdemeanor charges being filed against the
homeowners. These charges have been placed on hold based upon ongoing discussions with the
homeowners in an effort to resolve the issues.
Proposed PUD Amendment:
The proposed PUD Amendment includes varying from the Landscape Plan that was approved as
part of the Hidden Lakes PUD. The approved plan included installation of native vegetation buffer
strips from the normal water level of all of the ponds extending to varying widths beyond the top
of the pond bank. The only rip-rap or rock included in the plan, or in the approved construction
plans, was at the storm sewer inlets and outlets of the ponds to prevent erosion in these
concentrated flow areas.
The homeowner's proposed landscaping is outlined in a March 21, 2015 letter from Westwood
Professional Services to Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist. This letter states that the proposed
landscaping will include "a native vegetation buffer around the basin perimeter. This buffer will
average 10 feet in width and will varyfrom a minimum width of 3 feet to a maximum width of 30
feet. It will consist of native vegetation grown from a custom seed mix of the species listed
below."
This portion of the proposed landscaping is consistent with the approved Hidden Lakes PUD and
does not require a PUD amendment. However, re-establishment of the vegetation within the
drainage and utility easement requires that a formal plan be prepared for review and a Right of
Way Management permit must be obtained prior to starting work.
The March 21, 2015 narrative further states "The owner also proposes to surround the normal
water level of the pond with 6"to 12"stone rip-rap on the north, west and south sides of the pond
at a width of approximately 6 feet. The rip-rap will help prevent the pond from becoming over
grown as it has in the past."The plan also proposes no rip-rap installation on the southeast
corner of the pond for future maintenance access.
This portion of the proposed landscaping is not consistent with the Hidden Lakes PUD and is the
subject of the proposed amendment.
As the City is responsible for major maintenance, including dredging of the pond when it is
needed, staff does not support the installation of rip-rap on the pond banks. The City of Golden
Valley has adopted the use of native vegetation buffer strips for storm water pond banks,
streams, and lake shore due to its ability to prevent erosion and filter nutrients and sediment
from storm water runoff. This practice and policy is supported by the Storm Water Management
Ordinance:
G:\Developments-Private\HiddenLake PUD Amend#6\Review Amend#6 061316.docx
Chapter 4. Golden Valley City Code. Storm Water Management. Section 4.31.C. Buffers.d.
Storm Water Management Facilities. Buffers shall extend from the normal water level, or
bottom of a dry basin, up to the top of bank of the Storm Water Management Facility, as
determined by the Administrator, and shall be a minimum of ten (10)feet in width.
The use of vegetated buffer strips is also included in Chapter 8 of the Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission's Watershed Management Plan (adopted in 2015); Section 5 of the
City's Natural Resource Management Plan (adopted in 2015), and Chapter 10 of the City's Surface
Water Management Portion of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the use of vegetated buffer
strips is highly recommended by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a distance of 25 feet
upland of the high water level of storm water management ponds in its Minnesota Storm Water
Manual.
The City has not constructed any storm water management ponds within the past 20 to 25 years
that include rip-rap on the pond banks. The removal of the rip-rap that was installed on the banks
of this pond was included in the restoration order issued by the City to the property owners and
has consistently been communicated to the homeowners throughout the course of events at the
subject property.
The PUD Amendment submittal contains an aerial photograph that includes labeling of the areas
surrounding the pond that will be seeded with native vegetation and the location of the
proposed rip-rap installation. However, the aerial photograph is not a formal plan submittal with
the level of detail needed to review the proposal and is not signed by a licensed landscape
architect or civil engineer. A professionally prepared landscaping plan that includes a key, a scale,
dimensions and identification of plant materials, and is signed by a licensed landscape architect
or professional engineer must be submitted prior to issuance of any storm water management or
right of way management permits.
PUD Findings:
As outlined in City Code, approval of a Preliminary or Final PUD Plan, or a PUD Amendment,
requires the following findings be made by the City. Staff has reviewed the homeowner's analysis
of the required findings and do not find them to be accurate. The staff findings for this proposed
PUD amendment are as follows.
1. Quality of Site Planning. The PUD plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of the site
and achieves a higher quality of site planning and design than generally expected under
the conventional provisions of the ordinance.
The landscape plans and storm water management plans for Hidden Lakes PUD
#74, and Hidden Lakes 2nd Addition PUD#74, both included requirements for native
vegetation buffer strips beginning at the normal water level of storm ponds,
extending up the pond banks, and to points beyond the top of bank that varied in
width. The proposed plans did not include the installation of any rip-rap along the
pond banks as proposed in this proposed PUD amendment. The required buffer
WDevelopments-Private\Hidden Lake PUD Amend#6\Review Amend#6 061316.docx
strip was installed at this location, as visually confirmed by City Engineer at the
time construction was completed, but was not successfully maintained at the
subject property by the Hidden Lakes Homeowners Association or the past property
owners. The buffer strips have been successfully maintained at all other locations
within the Hidden Lakes PUD. The installation of rip-rap does not provide for a
higher quality of site planning and design than what is included in the approved
Hidden Lakes PUD.
2. Preservation. The PUD site plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of
the site's characteristics, opens space, and sensitive environmental features including
steep slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands and open waters.
The proposed installation of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property does
not provide the nutrient and sediment removal consistent with the vegetated
buffer strips installed with the PUD, and therefore fails to preserve, or improve the
water quality of Sweeney Lake to the maximum extent possible.
3. Efficient-Effective. The PUD plan shall include efficient and effective use (which includes
preservation) of the land.
Because the applicant has not provided a landscape plan, as discussed with in this
memorandum, that illustrates the dimensions of the proposed vegetated buffer
strips around the storm water pond, staff cannot determine if the proposal is
efficient or effective.
The existing storm water pond is the maintenance responsibility of the City of
Golden Valley and is located within a platted City drainage and utility easement.
The presence of rip-rap on the pond banks is a detriment to the City's responsibility
for pond dredging due to the fact that rip-rap typically needs to be removed when
dredging is required and is therefore not an efficient use of the land or City
maintenance resources.
4. Consistency. The PUD plan results in a development compatible with adjacent uses and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
The presence of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property in lieu of
vegetated buffer strips is not consistent with the other storm water ponds within
the Hidden Lakes PUD.
The presence of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property is not consistent
with the City's Surface Water Management Plan, which is a chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan.
G:\Developments-Private\HiddenLake PUD Amend#6\Review Amend#6 061316.docx
The presence of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property is not consistent
with the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission's Watershed
Management Plan.
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general
health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City.
Based upon the information provided by the applicant, staff is unable to determine
if the installation of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property in lieu of
vegetated buffer strips preserves or improves the water quality of Sweeney Lake.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the Intent and Purpose Provision and all other
PUD ordinance provisions.
The installation of rip-rap on the pond banks of the subject property in lieu of
vegetated buffer strips is not consistent with the provisions of the Hidden Lakes
PUD.
Based upon the materials submitted for the proposed PUD amendment, staff has determined
that the required findings of fact are not met.
Summary and Recommendations:
Engineering staff has reviewed the proposed Amendment#6 to Hidden Lakes PUD#74, which
proposes modifying the landscaping and storm water management plans approved as part of the
PUD to allow for the installation of rip-rap on the banks of the City storm water management
pond located substantially on the property at 1725 Bridgewater Road. Based upon this review
staff has determined that the applicant has not met the Standards and Guidelines of the Planned
Unit Development Ordinance. Additionally, the use of rip-rap on the banks of storm water ponds
is not consistent with City Code, the Comprehensive Plan, or the policies of the Bassett Creek
Watershed Management Commission.
Based upon the above discussion, Engineering staff recommends denial of the proposed
Amendment #6 to the Hidden Lakes PUD #74.

Subject: Rip-Rap Around Ponds
Jeff,
Below is a summary of what I found for each pond when I inspected them this morning and looked up the ownership
and maintenance records.
Breck Pond- Privately owned and maintained by Breck. There was rip-rap stabilizing the steep slope from highway 100
and protecting the outlet pipe. The rest of the pond has vegetative cover and no rocks that I could see. Pictures are
attached.
Honeywell Pond- is located in a drainage and utility easement and is maintained and owned by the City of Golden
Valley. Again there was rock around the outlet structures to dissipate water and reduce scouring around the pipe. The
rest of the pond had natural shoreline with little to no rock.
Valley Creek Office Park- Privately owned and maintained. The retaining wall extends to the edge of the pond, but I did
not observe any rock for stabilization. The shoreline was stabilized by native vegetation.
General Mills Pond-Owned by MNDOT and maintained by General Mills. General Mills and MNDOT worked out an
agreement to place rip-rap around the pond. This was done before the new water quality standards were in place and
therefor is grandfathered in and is allowable.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

7800 Golden Valley Road,
Golden Valley, MN 55427
Re: Hidden Lakes PUD Amendment: 1725 Bridgewater Road; Our File#38,895-00
Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers:
We represent Arash Allaei and Padideh Safavi,the owners of 1725 Bridgewater Road (the
"Property") in the City of Golden Valley(the "City"). This letter and the accompanying
documents are submitted as the owners' application for an amendment to the Hidden Lakes
Planned Unit Development, originally approved in 1997 (the "Original PUD"), to allow for an
amended plan (the "Amendment") as it applies to the pond located on the Property referred to in
City documents as either"Pond A" or"Hidden Lakes Pond 1" (the"Pond").
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
In the 19 years since the Original PUD was approved, the Pond has been completely neglected.
In April 2015, our clients purchased the Property and shortly thereafter discovered that the
original landscape plan was never installed, the Pond was not built to design, no maintenance
had ever been performed by the City, and the Pond had become overgrown with invasive
volunteer trees, many of which had fallen into the pond. The only attention or maintenance the
Pond has ever received commenced on May 6th, 2015 when our clients met with two members
of the City's public works staff to discuss the maintenance of the Pond. At that meeting, staff
stated that"the maintenance of the perimeter of the pond is the homeowner's responsibility."
Furthermore, staff verbally authorized our clients to install rock around the perimeter of the
pond, to prevent it from becoming overgrown, in addition to a vegetative buffer on the south side
of the pond. Staff made no mention of a required permit. Our clients subsequently confirmed
with the Hidden Lakes Community Association that maintenance of the Pond and the vegetative
buffer are the responsibility of the homeowner.
In summer 2015, operating under the express verbal authorization by city staff to commence
with the improvements and maintenance of the Pond, our clients spent approximately $9,500 to
remove the overgrown trees and approximately $40,000 to install rip-rap around the Pond
perimeter. In August 2015, during a site inspection of the Property by City staff, City engineer
Mayor Harris and City Councilmembers
City of Golden Valley
June 7, 2016
Page 2
Jeff Oliver made our clients aware of the requirement for a permit to allow work on the Pond.
This is despite the fact that the same City public works staff that verbally authorized the rip-rap
also observed the rip-rap multiple times during installation and even stated that the rip-rap was
"looking good" during a prior visit.
Since August 2015, our client, working with Westwood Professional Services, an engineering
consultant, has prepared multiple permit drawings showing the proposed natural vegetative
buffer, including the rip-rap. The City engineer has denied the permits and taken the position
that the rip-rap is not allowed. The affidavit of Arash Allaei is attached as Exhibit A and
describes the series of events that culminated with this Amendment. The Amendment is
intended to amend the Original PUD to revise the landscaping plan shown in the attached
Landscape and Reforestation Plan to permit the proposed three (3)to thirty (30)-foot buffer and
rip-rap as shown in the attached Westwood report.
DISCUSSION
PUD Amendment: Required Findings
The Amendment to the Original PUD's treatment of the Pond is being submitted as a minor
amendment to the Original PUD. The Amendment meets the required findings for a PUD
amendment under City Code Sec. 11.55, subd. 3.B. as follows:
1. Quality Site Planning. The PUD plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of the
site and achieves a higher quality of site planning and design than generally
expected under conventional provisions of the ordinance.
The Amendment will result in a substantially higher quality of site characteristic than the pre-
existing conditions. The Pond was never improved or constructed as described in the Original
PUD, and the Amendment will result in a higher quality of site planning and design as is
typically seen with stormwater retention ponds. The installation of the proposed natural
vegetative buffer will improve water quality and increase the effectiveness and function of the
Pond, without increasing the flood damage potential of Lake Sweeney. The rip-rap and natural
vegetative buffer have been designed to achieve the optimal balance of Pond bank stabilization,
stormwater runoff control, and low-maintenance design.
2. Preservation. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of
the site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including
steep slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks,wetlands and open waters.
The Amendment preserves and protects the pond function and the added buffer will dramatically
improve the utility of the pond over the previously existing invasive and volunteer trees. The
slopes of the pond banks will be stabilized and protected from erosion and pond capacity
reduction by the rip-rap. The installation of the proposed natural vegetative buffer will achieve
the original intent of the Pond by adding the necessary plantings, which were not installed with
the Pond's construction.
Mayor Harris and City Councilmembers
City of Golden Valley
June 7, 2016
Page 3
3. Efficient-Effective. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which
includes preservation) of the land.
The Amendment will use the existing Property efficiently and effectively by maximizing the
utility and function of the Pond as it exists and decrease the maintenance requirements in the
future. By stabilizing the pond banks with the rip-rap and installing the natural vegetative buffer,
the Pond will experience less sediment, erosion, and growth of invasive species. It should also
be noted that the rip-rap is an existing condition that was installed at an expense of
approximately $40,000, and to require its removal would not only be wasteful and inefficient,
but have an adverse impact on the health and function of the Pond.
4. Consistency. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses
and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals.
The Amendment is consistent with several of the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive
Plan (the "Comp Plan"). Chapter 10: Surface Water, identifies several goals and policies that
expressly support and encourage with the proposed improvements to the Pond, including the
following:
a. Maintain the nutrient and sediment removal efficiency of several key storm water
ponds throughout the city, thereby improving the water quality of the receiving
waters. Water Quality of Storm Water Runoff Goals, Comp Plan 10-9.
b. Prevent erosion and sedimentation to the greatest extent possible to protect the
city's water resources from increased sediment loading and associated water
quality problems. Erosion and Sediment Control Goals, Comp Plan 10-13.
C. Improve erosion and sediment control through aesthetically pleasing and
environmentally friendly means.Erosion and Sediment Control Goals, Comp
Plan 10-14
d. Encourage and support the development of buffers of native and naturally existing
shoreline vegetation on non-city property.Erosion and Sediment Control Policies,
Comp Plan 10-14.
5. General Health. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the
general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City.
The proposed rip-rap and natural vegetative buffer will preserve and greatly improve the general
health, safety, and welfare of the community. The health and welfare of the City will benefit
from the increase in water quality and decrease of sediments that will be filtered by the proposed
buffer and rip-rap. Ponds and other types of open water can become attractive nuisances,
particularly for young children. Since the buffer had never been installed as approved in the
Original PUD, the Pond became substantially overgrown, blocking views from adjacent property
of the water and creating a safety hazard. The proposed buffer and rip-rap will reduce the need
Mayor Harris and City Councilmembers
City of Golden Valley
June 7, 2016
Page 4
for ongoing maintenance and ensure the previous overgrowth of volunteer and invasive growth
does not occur again in the future.
6. Meets Requirements. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision
and all other PUD ordinance provisions.
The Amendment meets the applicable PUD Intent and Purpose provisions, as well as other
provisions under the City's PUD ordinance. The applicable provisions are as follows:
a. Achieve a high quality of site planning design, landscaping, and building_
materials which are compatible with the existing and planned land uses. City
Code Sec. 11.55, subd. LA.2.
The proposed rip-rap along the Pond banks and natural vegetative buffer represent a high quality
of design and landscaping, while at the same time reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
The aesthetic appearance of the Pond will be greatly improved over the previously existing
unimproved and overgrown Pond conditions. The rip-rap and natural vegetative buffer have
been designed to achieve the optimal balance of bank stabilization, stormwater runoff control,
and low-maintenance design.
b. Encourage preservation and protection of desirable site characteristics and open
space and protection of sensitive environmental features including steep slopes,
trees, scenic views,waterways, wetlands and lakes. City Code Sec. 11.55, subd.
I.A.3.
The proposed rip-rap along the Pond banks and natural vegetative buffer protect and preserve the
Pond as a functioning element of the City's stormwater management system. The natural
vegetative buffer will ensure reduction in sediment and runoff and the rip-rap will stabilize the
pond banks, reduce the need for maintenance, and decrease the growth of invasive species.
C. Wetlands and Ponds. Wetlands and ponds shall have a riparian buffer strip
composed of natural vegetation but not an improved and/or fertilized lawn. The
,applicant shall comply with regulations set forth by the City of Golden Valley,
Bassett Creek Watershed, and the State of Minnesota. City Code Sec. 11.55, Subd.
6.A.3.(a).
The Pond will have an improved native vegetation buffer strip consisting of natural vegetation
and rip-rap extending up from the normal water level with an average width of ten (10) feet and
ranging from three (3)to thirty (30) feet. While the City engineer has taken the position that the
City requirement of a"native or natural vegetation buffer" with an element of rip-rap is not
permitted under the City Code section 4.3 1,there is nothing within the City Code or the Basset
Creek Watershed Management Commission(BCWMC)plan that precludes the inclusion of rock
in a buffer. A"native or natural vegetation buffer" is not a defined term either in the City Code
or the BCWMC. Moreover, rip-rap is explicitly authorized in the floodplain by Special Permit
where the scope of work meets City Code Sec. 11.60, Subd. 4.13 (no increase in flood damage
Mayor Harris and City Councilmembers
City of Golden Valley
June 7, 2016
Page 5
potential) and 4.31 (Stormwater Management). The Pond is located in the floodplain and will
not increase the flood damage potential.
The City Code does establish certain standards under Section 4.31 of the City Code, including
the requirement that"buffer strip vegetation should be appropriate to the goals for the water
body. City Code Sec. 4.3 1, subd. 6.C.3.f. In addition,the administrator has broad discretion"to
modify or waive standards depending on each project site and goals for the water body." Id.
City's Authority to Approve Amendment
The City Council has broad authority to approve the Amendment. In addition to the discretion
the City Council can wield as the"administrator"under City Code Section 4.31 to modify or
waive storm water standards, the City Council has authority to approve flexibility under the PUD
ordinance.
City Code Section 11.55 governs the regulation of PUDs in the City. The intent of a PUD is to
"provide an optional method of regulating land use which permits flexibility in the uses allowed
and other regulating provisions." City Code Sec. 11.55, Subd. 2.A. Through the use of a PUD,
the City Council has the authority to modify the Original PUD approval with respect to the Pond
and authorize the Amendment and allow the rip-rap and natural vegetative buffer as proposed.
Arbitrary and Capricious Standard
The City engineer has asserted that the rip-rap is not allowed because it is in the best interests of
the city "to continue to maintain its storm water system in a consistent manner across the City"
and therefore the rip-rap cannot be allowed. However, it is important to note that in our review
of the stormwater pond maintenance agreements throughout the City, we identified several other
stormwater ponds in the City in which rip-rap has been installed and authorized by the City.'
In Minnesota,the standard of review for all zoning matters is "whether the zoning authority's
action was reasonable. . . . Is there a `reasonable basis' for the decision? or is the decision
`unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious'?"Honn v. Coon Rapids, 313 N.W.2d 409, 417 (Minn.
1981). To approve rip-rap as an allowed element in other stormwater ponds but not on our
clients' Property would be by its very nature unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious.
The City attorney and City engineer have said the disparate treatment is due to the fact that the
City considers the Pond to be part of the City's stormwater system. This is despite the fact that
the City has never made any effort to maintain the Pond and the only maintenance has been
performed by our clients. Notwithstanding the alleged public/private distinction,there is nothing
in City Code Section 4.31 that would imply a different standard for public versus private
stormwater facilities. In fact, "stormwater management system,"the term under which all
stormwater ponds are classified as elements of, is defined as "Public and/or private systems of
collecting, conveying, storing and treating Stormwater runoff." Based on this language, there is
no basis to regulate the Pond in a manner that is different than other ponds within the City.

CONCLUSION
The Amendment as proposed represents a substantial investment by our clients into the
community,the Property, and the environment. The proposed rip-rap and natural vegetative
buffer is an improvement that not only consistent with how the City has regulated other
stormwater ponds in the City but it is consistent with the required findings under the City Code
for an amendment to the Original PUD. Our client has sought to improve the natural and built
environment and has worked diligently with City staff and a host of contractors, consultants, and
engineers to resolve this matter. It was never the intent of our clients for this matter to arise to
the level that it necessitates City Council action, but it is clear from the record that City staff
have taken an unreasonable and arbitrary position. For these reasons and the reasons stated
above, we respectfully request that the City Council approve the Amendment as proposed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about this letter or the information
contained herein.

William C. Griffith, for

2. The following chronology accurately depicts the series of events that occurred with
respect to the stormwater retention pond(the "Pond") located on the Property
3. April 10,2015: Arash Allaei purchased the home at Property that was in foreclosure
from Wells Fargo Bank. The Property was purchased remotely, site unseen.
4. May 3,2015: Arash arrived in Minnesota and sees the Property for the first time. Arash
immediately noticed that the Pond is overgrown with invasive trees,a significant portion of
which have fallen into the Pond.
S. May 4/5, 2015: Padideh Safavi, Arash's wife called the City to address the issues with
the Pond. A meeting at the Pond was scheduled for May 6th,2015.
6. May 6,2015: Arash& Padideh met with Eric Eckman&Tom Hoffman (City public
works staff)at the Property to discuss the Pond. At the meeting.the City staff asked that the trees
be removed. Arash asked if the City would pay for this and the staff made it clear many times
that"the maintenance of the perimeter of the pond is the homeowner's responsibility."The staff
recommended a buffer that was 5-7 ft in width be installed once the trees were removed. Arash
specifically asked if it was acceptable to place rocks on the bank of the Pond to prevent it from
becoming overgrown again. The staff stated that the rock was fine, but would still need some
vegetative buffer installed on the other side. The staff made no mention of any permit
requirements or further steps needed to be taken with the City and implied that their role in this
was done.
7. May 6,2015: Padideh emailed the Hidden Lakes Community Association(homeowner's
association for the property)stating"The engineer from the city of Golden Valley came out
today,he would like us to remove some trees and shrubs surrounding the pond for maintenance,
would this be something the association/landscaping company would take care of?"
1.
EXHIBIT A
8. May 11,2015: Scott Findley from the Hidden Lakes Community Association replied to
the May 6th email stating "The homeowner is responsible for any tree maintenance or
replacement. . ..As for the plant buffer zone around the pond with all the volunteer trees and
vegetation. . . this area is the homeowner's responsibility to maintain."
9. June 1,2015: Arash paid$9,386.56 to have the overgrown trees removed from the Pond.
10. July 16,2015: Arash paid $40,000 to have rip-rap installed on the perimeter of the Pond.
It. August 26,2015: City issued a stop work order on the property for work being done to
clean up of shoreline of Lake Sweeney unrelated to the Pond (all issues relating to the shoreline
have been resolved). Tom Hoffman (the same City staff member that was at the May 6th meeting
to discuss the Pond) came to the property to issue the stop work order and inspect the shoreline
issues at around 8:00 am. The installation of the Pond's rip-rap was almost complete at this time
and clearly visible to Tom as one must pass by the Pond to get to the shoreline. As a result of the
stop work order, all work on the Pond was hatted. A few hours later Tom returned to the property
and personally told the workers that were installing the rip-rap that they could continue working
on the Pond and the stop work order was only for the shoreline. This clearly supports the position
of the May 6th meeting that no permits were required to instal.] rip-rap around the Pond.
12. August 27,2015: Jeff Oliver(City Engineer)and Tom Hofftnan were scheduled to
return to the property in the afternoon to review the shoreline issues. Tom arrived approximately
20-30 minutes before.Jeff and conversed with Arash while waiting for Jeff's arrival. During this
conversation Arash spoke to Tom about the Pond and asked Tom what he thought of the Pond
and Tom said "'It's looking good!"This was expected as the installation of rock was specifically
mentioned during the May 6th meeting{this once again supports information conveyed to
homeowner that no permits were required for rip-rap). Jeff Oliver arrived and upon passing the
Pond,to Arash's surprise, stated that a permit was needed to install the rip-rap. This was the first
mention of any permit requirements of any kind by the City regarding the work on the Pond.
13. August 28—September 11,2015: Arash asked Jod Ayez(general contractor for the
remodeling of the property)to.resolve all issues with the City. During this time Jorj had multiple
conversations with the Jeff Oliver and Tom Hoffman attempting to resolve matters. The City
staff asked Jorj to put plans together and submit them to the City for review. Jorj hired WSB &
Associates (an engineering consultant) to assist with putting plans together.Jorj called Jeff
Oliver to schedule a meeting with the engineers from WSB to discuss the plans. Shortly after the
call with Jeff,Jorj got a call from WSB stating that Jeff Oliver had``called them angrily"and
told them not to work with Arash and Padideh.
14. September 12,2015- Westwood engineering was hired to prepare plans lor the City.
EXHIBIT A
15. September 18,2015: rom Hoffman called Arash and asked if I had time to meet so he
could drop something off for him. Arash stated that he was not home and specifically asked
Tom.what the document was, Tom stated he did not know what the document was. Arash asked
Tom to drop it off at the property as Padideh was home, 'ro Padideh's surprise,a police officer
arrived and delivered a restoration order.
16. September 19,2015: Arash, Padideh and Jorj went to City hall and met with Jeff Oliver,
Erick Eckman and Tom Hoffman. Once again, staff was not cooperative and demanded that
everything in the restoration order be completed.
17. September 29,2015: The City issued criminal charges against Arash and Padideh: two
(2)misdemeanors to Arash and two(2)misdemeanors to Padideh.
18, October 8,2015: Arash retained William Griffith from Larkin Hoffman to address legal
issues with the restoration order.
19. November 24,2015: Paul Engb was retained as attorney for property owners to address
the misdemeanors.
20. November 25,2015: Jorj Ayez called Tom Hoffman to discuss the misdemeanors. Mr.
Hoffman stated that once the issues,%vere resolved, they would be dropped.
21. December 1,2015: Westwood engineering submitted plans for the Pond to the City.As a
part of the plans, Westwood submitted a detailed engineering analysis on the Pond illustrating
that the plans we submitted would yield superior water quality to the plans the City required in
their restoration order that were based on the original PUD. It was also determined that the
original landscaping plan in the PUD was never installed on the Pond. The plans submitted to the
City included the rip-rap and analysis illustrating that the rip-rap had no impact to the flood
storage of Lake Sweeney.
22. December 18,2015: Jeff Oliver sent a response to the Westwood plans,that denied.
approval with no supporting engineering concerns or reasoning. In the response,Jeff Oliver once
again demanded that the original restoration order be followed.
23. December 30,2015: Larkin Hoffman attorney, William Griffith determined that the
City's demands in the restoration order for a conservation easement on the property,and
agreements about use and modification of the storm water Pond exceeded the City's authority.
Mr. Griffith sent correspondence to the City attorney regarding this matter.

EXHIBIT A
24. January 12, 2016: The City attorney conceded that certain demands in the restoration
order were not appropriate or applicable and recommended Arash and Padideh negotiate directly
with the City to resolve the outstanding issues.
25. January 12—February 8th,2016: Arash attempted to resolve the two outstanding
issues with the City engineer.Jeff Oliver: 1) the buffer requirements around the Pond,2)and the
rip-rap already installed around the Pond. A tenative agreement was reached on the buffering
requirements,however, Mr. Oliver refused to allow the rip-rap to remain around the Pond citing
that it is in the City's best interest to"continue to maintain its storm water system in a consistent
manner accross the city."
26. February 3,2016: Paul Engh appeared in court and met with the Golden Valley
prosecutor. The prosecutor stated he would dismiss the case once the City issues a letter that the
property is in full compliance with zoning codes.
27. February 8,2016: Arash made a public data request to the City for all maintenance
records for all storm water Ponds on private property to determine if the rip-rap would affect any
maintenance efforts of the Pond and if necessary, modify Westwood's plans to accomodate the
City's maintenance efforts.
28. February 25,2016: City completed public data request and provides Arash with
maintenance and inspection records for all storm water ponds on private property. From this
information,the following has been discovered: 1)per maintenance records,other ponds have
rip-rap installed; 2)per maintenance records, the maintenance of rip-rap around a pond was
specifically outlined in at least one of the City's nitainenance agreements; 3)per maintenance
records,no maintenace of any kind was ever conducted to the Pond on Arash*s property, and 4)
per inspection records,the City has been aware of the overgrown Pond on Arash's property since
2013.

Re: 1725 Bridgewater Road Basin Improvement
File 0007237.00
Dear Mr. Eckman:
On behalf of the Owner of 1725 Bridewater Road in Golden Valley, we offer this narrative
describing the proposed stormwater basin improvements for the subject property. A community
stormwater treatment basin in the backyard of the property receives and treats stormwater runoff
from approximately 12 acres of the surrounding neighborhood and discharges to the adjacent
Sweeney Lake. The Owner proposes to improve the stormwater basin's aesthetics while not
adversely affecting the stormwater management capacity of the pond.
Existing Conditions
Westwood surveyed the bottom of the basin and the surrounding area. The basin was not
constructed to the depth shown on the original construction plans. The original plans called for a
basin bottom elevation of 820.0 but the surveyed bottom is 824.0. It was evident when probing the
basin depth that the basin bottom had not accumulated a significant amount of sediment;rather the
basin bottom was a compacted, constructed surface.
City Staff has requested that the Owner install a vegetated buffer surrounding the basin as was
originally proposed with the development plans when the neighborhood was constructed. There is
no evidence this buffer was ever installed with the original development of the neighborhood.
Improved Conditions
The Owner proposes to install a native vegetation buffer around the basin perimeter. This buffer
will average 10 feet in width and will vary from a minimum width of 3 feet to a maximum width of
30 feet. It will consist of native vegetation grown from a custom seed mix of the species listed
below. The Owner shall keep the seed tags as documentation of the seed installed.

• Downy Wood mint
• Path Rush
• Torrey's Rush
• Straight-Styled Wood Sedge

• Sharp-lobed Hepatica
• Prairie Blue Eyed Grass
The Owner also proposes to surround the normal water level of the pond with 6"to 12"stone rip-rap
on the north, west and south side of the pond at a width of approximately 6 feet. The rip-rap will
help prevent the pond from becoming over grown as it has been in the past. If invasive plant species
become established in the pond, the rip-rap buffer area, having no vegetation, will facilitate the use
of broad spectrum herbicides labeled for control of invasive species. This will help limit their spread
into the native vegetation buffer. As shown in the December 1, 2015 Basin Improvement report,this
rip-rap will have a negligible effect on the flood storage capacity of the flood plain and because the
rip-rap is above the normal water level, it will not reduce the stormwater treatment capacity of the
pond. Although to date it appears no maintenance has been done to the pond, the southeast side of
the pond will be free of stone rip-rap to allow access for future maintenance of the pond.
The proposed buffer area and stone rip-rap are shown on the enclosed Exhibit. Please contact me if
you have any questions.
Sincerely,
WESTWOOD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
