An Equal Opportunity Employer Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 A regular meeting of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals was held on Tuesday, August 23, 2016, at City Hall, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. Vice Chair Maxwell called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those present were Members Maxwell, Nelson, Orenstein, and Planning Commission Representatives Johnson and Kluchka. Also present were Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, Planning Intern Chloe McGuire Brigl, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Member Perich was absent. I. Approval of Minutes— July 26, 2016, Regular Meeting MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to approve the July 26, 2016, minutes as submitted. II. The Petition(s) are: 1315 Angelo Drive Mohammad Vedadi, Applicant Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11 (B) Height Limitations • 3.5 ft. over the 25 ft. of height allowed for a total height of 28.5 ft. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new home. McGuire Brigl reminded the Board that at their June 28 meeting a variance to allow a new home with an 8 ft. x 22 ft. rooftop access room was granted. Since that meeting, the applicant's plans have changed and he is now asking to build a 14 ft. x 22 ft. rooftop access room. The height of the home remains the same as the original proposal at 28.5 ft. McGuire Brigl said that the applicant's stated unique circumstances are that the rooftop access room is not easily visible from Angelo Drive, the view from Angelo Drive would not change as a result of a larger rooftop access room, and they need more space to access the rooftop to maintain solar panels and remove snow. McGuire Brig[ stated that staff is recommending denial of the requested variance because the new proposal doubles the length of the addition, above the maximum height allowed. Staff feels the previously approved plans were sufficient for a rooftop access, with a bathroom, stairs, and elevator. Also, the larger addition would significantly increase the impact to the neighboring properties. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 2 Maxwell asked if this proposed, larger rooftop access addition would still fit within the building envelope. McGuire Brigl said the proposed home would still fit within the building envelope, but the rooftop access portion is much larger and more impactful than the original proposal. She reiterated that the original proposed size of the space is sufficient for an elevator, stairs and bathroom without causing as much impact. Kluchka asked about the space to the left of the rooftop access structure. Goellner explained that that space is rooftop terrace area and where the solar collectors would be located. Mohammed Vedadi, Applicant, said he thought his proposed new structure would be ok without requiring another variance. He clarified that the structure to the left of the rooftop access is deck space and a chimney. He stated that the originally proposed 8 ft. wide structure was just the minimal amount needed for a staircase. He said that after he received approval of his variance in June, he decided that he wants the area to be slightly larger than just an area to exit out onto the rooftop. He said the view from the street won't change and the house will still fit within the building envelope. He said it sounds like the code is going to be changed in the future to allow flat roofed houses to be 28 ft. in height, but it would be more expensive to wait until that happens to make the proposed changes to the rooftop access. Orenstein asked about the use of the space and questioned if it would have windows or if it could be used as a bedroom or additional living space. Vedadi said there will be two sliding-glass doors, but it will not be livable space. There will be room for a sitting area and room to exit the elevator and access the rooftop space. Maxwell asked Vedadi if he needed all 6 additional feet or if he could build the rooftop access space any smaller. Vedadi explained that it is a structural issue because the wall of the rooftop access sits on a wall beneath it for support. He added that ideally, his plan was to have a full third story. He said that if the code regarding the height of flat- roofed homes is changed he thinks he could do that within the building envelope. He reiterated that the proposed rooftop access won't change the view from the street and that they just want the space to be a little more usable. Maxwell opened the public hearing. Nancy Skophammer, 1250 Angelo Drive, said she looks at the applicant's home from her front door. She said that she doesn't see any reason not to allow the proposed addition. Vedadi added that the neighbors on both sides of his property are also in full support of his proposal. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Maxwell closed the public hearing. Johnson asked how the height of the home would be measured if it had a pitched roof. Goellner explained that the zoning code has different height regulations for pitched Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 3 roofs and for flat roofs. The reason for the two different height regulations is because previously the code didn't include the "tent-shaped" method for determining the building envelope. She added that if this proposal was for a pitched-roof home it would still fit within the building envelope because the height would be determined at the midpoint of the pitched roof. She stated that the key difference in this case is that the applicant isn't trying to minimize the amount of space that requires a variance. McGuire Brigl noted that part of the reason for the original approval was to gain access to the rooftop, not for the extra amount of space now being proposed. Johnson asked if there are ADA requirements for access in the rooftop space. Goellner said that was considered by the architect. Orenstein said the issue is the additional space. Maxwell agreed but noted that if the roof was pitched they could create additional space. Kluchka noted that at last month's meeting they denied a variance request for a rooftop access addition. Maxwell said that proposal was taller than the 28 ft. allowed even for a pitched roof home. Johnson said this proposal is less intrusive than a pitched roof would be. MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to approve the requested variance for 3.5 ft. over the 25 ft. of height allowed for a total height of 28.5 ft. to allow for the construction of a new home. 1250 Angelo Drive Kevin Bostrom & Nancy Skophammer, Applicants Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11(A)(3)(b) Requirements • 2.5 ft. off the required 12.5 ft. to a distance of 10 ft. at its closest point to the side yard (north) property line. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a home addition. Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11 (D) Side Wall Articulation • Any wall longer than 32 feet in length must be articulated, with a shift of at least 2 feet in depth for at least 8 feet in length. The applicant is requesting a variance from this regulation to build an addition 35.5 feet in length with no articulation. McGuire Brigl referred to a site plan of the property and explained the applicant's request to build an addition that includes garage storage, an office, a mudroom/entry, and a powder room along the north side of the property. The setback requirement along the north side of the property is 12.5 ft. and the applicant is requesting that the proposed Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 4 addition be located 10 ft. at its closest point to the side yard property line, without any articulation. McGuire Brigl referred to photos of the inside of the existing garage and explained that the applicant is proposing to remove a vestibule that juts into the garage. The new garage would not increase in width, but removing the vestibule would help increase the depth of the garage. She added that there is enough space to build a 23-foot wide garage without variances so staff is recommending denial of the request. Kluchka asked for clarification about the garage remaining the same width. McGuire Brigl explained that the vestibule inside the garage will be removed, but the width of the garage door will be the same. Johnson asked about the current distance from the garage to the north side yard property line. McGuire Brigl said the existing garage is 16.3 ft. away from the north property line. Nelson added that there is approximately 4 ft. they could still use without needing a variance. Nancy Skophammer, Applicant, stated that when they purchased this home it was marketed as having a two-stall garage and they didn't realize the vestibule inside the garage affected the depth. She explained that the previous owners took some of the interior garage space and created an entry into the kitchen. She stated that the proposed new garage would be slightly wider inside because they are going to be removing some existing shelves. She said they've gone through a lot of different design ideas and this proposal will give them a nice mudroom, powder room and office. She added that the neighbors approve of the proposed addition and she does not feel that it will decrease anyone's value or alter anyone's perspective. Nelson asked Skophammer what room they would enter if they just expanded the garage and removed the vestibule. Skophammer said they would enter into a small hallway. Nelson asked which rooms are behind the garage. Skophammer said there is a kitchen and a living area leading out to a deck. Orenstein asked Skophammer why the new addition can't be articulated. Skophammer said she thinks they could work with the articulation requirements and asked what qualifies as articulation. Maxwell explained that walls can be 32 ft. in length before they have to be bumped in or out 2 ft. for a distance of 8 ft. Skophammer asked if a canopy of the entrance would count as articulation. Goellner said no. Kluchka asked Skophammer how critical the proposed workbench space and bathroom are. Skophammer said currently the only bathroom on the main level is in the master bedroom and the workbench area would be used for storage of garage items. Maxwell opened the public hearing. Mohammed Vedadi, 1315 Angelo Drive, said a narrow garage is the same issue they have with their home. He said they all want to stay in their neighborhood and make their spaces Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 5 better. He said he is in favor of this small variance request and noted that the property to the north has a garage along the side property line so it would not be impactful to them. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Maxwell closed the public hearing. Orenstein noted that the applicant is not asking for a three-stall garage and that the Board has granted larger variance requests in the past so granting the request would not be inconsistent. Nelson agreed and said she is sympathetic, but the applicant in this case could build a wider garage without variances. Orenstein said he would like the articulation requirement to be met. The Board agreed. Kluchka suggested that in order to meet the articulation requirement and have a functional space the applicant could remove the vestibule inside the garage, create a bump-out for the mudroom addition and then remove the proposed office in the back of the proposed addition or the workbench area in the front of the proposed addition. Maxwell suggested asking the applicant if she would like to do that. Kluchka said the Board has to address the application that was submitted. Nelson said it sounds like the Board is ok with the side yard variance request but not with the request for no articulation. Johnson said it doesn't make sense to knock down the garage for an additional 2 or 3 feet or to build a 4-foot wide office. Maxwell said they could remove the proposed office or workbench and they probably wouldn't need articulation. Skophammer said she thinks they can come up with articulation ideas. MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to approve a variance for 2.5 ft. off the required 12.5 ft. to a distance of 10 ft. at its closest point to the side yard (north) property line to allow for the construction of a home addition. MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to deny the variance request to build an addition 35.5 feet in length with no articulation. 4805 Markay Ridge Kirk & Pamela Hyatt, Applicants Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 12 (A)(1) Accessory Structure Location Requirements • Detached accessory structures shall be located completely to the rear of the principal structure. Purpose: To allow the recently constructed shed to remain. Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 12 (A)(4) Separation Between Structure Requirements • 9.75 ft. off the required 10 ft. to a distance of .25 ft. between the principal structure and the accessory structure. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 6 Purpose: To allow the recently constructed shed to remain. McGuire Brigl referred to a photo of the property and stated that the applicant is requesting variances in order to maintain a recently built, non-conforming shed. She explained that the shed should have been built completely to the rear of the home and that there should be 10 ft. of separation between the home and the shed. McGuire Brigl said that the applicant's stated unique circumstances are that his corner lot limits the rear yard area because of the two front yards, the rear yard is largely mature gardens and trees, and he needs the shed close the driveway to store his snow blower. Kluchka noted that a big part of this issue is that the shed is not attached to the garage. McGuire Brigl agreed and explained that the applicant could put frost footings under the shed and bolt the shed to the garage and it could remain where it is, or it could be moved to a conforming location. Maxwell noted that the Board has denied similar requests in the past and asked the reason for the footings and bolting it to the garage. McGuire Brigl said that is what it would take to make the shed compliant with the building code. Orenstein questioned why the homeowner does not want to put the shed in the buildable area. Johnson stated that the conforming area is heavily landscaped. Goellner added that there is a lot of conforming space the homeowner could use for the shed location, he just built it without knowing the regulations. Kirk Hyatt, Applicant, said they are doing significant interior remodeling to their house and part of that project was to address their storage area. He said they have historically stored their gardening items, etc. under a blue tarp. He stated that he thought he had the proper permits for the shed and that he didn't willingly or knowingly try to subvert the codes. He stated that 80 to 85% of the buildable area is not buildable because it has gardens, lighting, or irrigation. Maxwell asked Hyatt why he is opposed to putting in frost footing and bolting the shed to the garage. Hyatt said it seems like a sham. Orenstein said the Board can't pass judgement on the building code, they can only address zoning code issues. Nelson said she thinks the request is reasonable but the issue was caused by the landowner. She said the Board has to be consistent regarding the variances they grant and that another person asking for the same variance might not have as nice of a shed, so she is sympathetic, but it is beyond what the Board reviews. Maxwell reiterated that the shed doesn't have to be moved. Hyatt asked the Board if they would feel differently if there was discussion that says his shed does meet the building code requirements. Maxwell suggested tabling the variance requests so that the applicant can get clarity from the Inspections Department and maybe he won't be forced to move the shed. The applicant agreed. Maxwell opened the public hearing. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals August 23, 2016 Page 7 Dave Hoberg, 2157 Orchard Avenue North, said he is an engineer and he questions why frost footings would be needed because he thinks the garage is a floating slab so putting frost footings under the shed would not work. He said this is a unique neighborhood and he doesn't want to lose much of the character. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Maxwell closed the public hearing. MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Orenstein and motion carried unanimously to table this proposal to the next Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. III. Other Business No other business was discussed. IV. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:23 pm.

BUSINESS A. Consider Assisting with Blake School Watershed 360 Project Administrator Jester introduced Will Bohmsen with the Blake School, Upper Campus and reported that the school is seeking assistance from the Commission on a project that combines environmental education and photography. Mr. Bohmsen provided an overview of the proposed project including an electronic example online. He noted he is interested in showcasing three projects or locations within the watershed that would be photographed with a 360°camera. He reported that users could then click on various items within the photo to find out more about a particular topic or condition within the area. He noted the project will"tell the story"of each of the three locations and the end product could be linked on the Commission's website and used in other educational venues. He noted that one 6-hour field trip is likely with students to visit each of the three locations and hear from Commission or city staff about the project or features of that location. [Commissioner Mueller arrives.] There were some questions from Commissioners and discussion about different locations that might be appropriate to include and the staff time that might be involved with the project. Commissioners thought the 2 BCWMC August 18, 2016, Meeting Minutes project was interesting and a good idea. Commissioners Black and Welch indicated they would like to be involved. It was noted the Education Committee might be involved as well. MOTION• Commissioner Welch moved to authorize Administrator Jester to spend up to 10 hours assisting Blake School with the project Alternate Commissioner McDonald Black seconded the motion. Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0. [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote.] B. Consider Partnership on Four Seasons Redevelopment Project Administrator Jester provided background on this item. She reminded Commissioners that at their meeting in September 2013,the Commission conditionally approved 90%plans for the Four Seasons Area Water Quality Project that included restoration of a channel upstream of the mall and creation of a stormwater pond. She noted the CIP project was never built due to residents' concerns with tree loss and that the BCWMC CIP budget still includes over$862,000 for that project. She reported that now the Four Seasons Mall area is slated for redevelopment and preliminary plans indicate the developer, Rock Hill Management(RHM), is able to treat more total phosphorus than is required by BCWMC development standards. She reported that RHM hired Solution Blue, Inc.to design innovative stormwater management features that also help create a community amenity and gathering space and that RHM is interested in a partnership with the BCWMC to implement these features by utilizing CIP funds previously slated for the Four Seasons Project. John Hink with Solution Blue noted the firm is a sustainable landscape architecture firm that frequently works through public-private partnerships to go above and beyond requirements for stormwater treatment. Mr. Hink presented information on proposed stormwater management features and reviewed renderings, drawings, and estimated pollutant removals for each technique. He reported that the mixed use development will be dominated by pedestrian-friendly features,clean and modern architecture, and natural materials. Mr. Hink reported that the proposed development can meet stormwater requirements of 13.7 pounds of total phosphorus removed by upgrading the existing wetland and including an iron enhanced bench. He reviewed additional stormwater management features that would remove a greater amount of phosphorus,thus helping to improve conditions in Northwood Lake and the North Branch Bassett Creek downstream. Those features include a linear iron enhanced sand filter along 169 that would treat water coming from north of Rockford Rd., re- wetting of the peat that exists under the site, installing vegetated wetlands along the front of the property, and constructing a"wetland walk" as a significant feature within a pedestrian plaza in the center of the property. Commissioners expressed their general support of the project and a potential partnership with the developer, although there was consensus that more information is needed to determine what level of Commission CIP funding might be appropriate to provide. Commissioner Black noted that the City of Plymouth is also working with the developer to incorporate park and ride features and stormwater management components and that the city may be offering financial incentives for those features. Commission Engineer Chandler noted that she compared the estimated pollutant removals and costs of the current and original project(adjusted to 2016 costs)and that it appears the proposed project is approximately 75% as efficient in removing pollution per cost as the original project. She noted the Commission could consider applying a certain percentage of the CIP funding to the project. Derek Asche discussed the opportunity to use remaining CIP funding to construct additional stormwater management features that could be incorporated adjacent to the site during site development and the fact that a rate control structure is likely needed to control flows from the east into the wetland to the south of the site which discharges into Northwood Lake. There was also consensus that any future agreement would be between the City of Plymouth and the Commission,with a corresponding agreement between the City and the developer. There was also consensus that more information is needed to make an informed decision on possible funding levels.including financing 3 BCWMC August 18, 2016, Meeting Minutes that may come from the city and further investigation on pollutant removals and possible adjacent projects. Mr. Hink noted that it would be important to have a final decision on financing or a partnership within the next two months. He noted that the developer is seeking at least$500,000 in funding to incorporate the "above and beyond" stormwater management features. MOTION• Commissioner Black moved that the Commission move forward with exploring a partnership with Rock Hill Management through an agreement with the City of Plymouth and that Commission staff continue to gather and assess additional information for further consideration including technical and legal issues Commissioner Mueller seconded the motion Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0. [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote.] C. Review Draft Response Action Plan for 2017 Main Stem Erosion Repair Project Commission Engineer Chandler introduced Dan Fetter with Barr Engineering to review the draft Response Action Plan(RAP). Mr. Fetter noted that the document is nearly final and that it had been reviewed by the Commission Administrator and City of Minneapolis staff. He noted the final RAP is due to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency by September 1 in order to apply for the Hennepin County granted being considered in the next agenda item. Commissioner Welch asked that the RAP include correct contamination notes for the banks along and across from the Fruen Mill. MOTION• Commissioner Welch moved to approve the Response Action Plan with comments from the Commission and directed staff to submit the Plan to appropriate review agencies. Commissioner Black seconded the motion Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0 rCily of Minnetonka was absent from the vote.] D. Consider Applying for Hennepin County Environmental Response Fund Grant for 2017 Main Stem Erosion Repair Project. Mr. Fetter reported that the Commission's Main Stem Project is well positioned to receive grant funding from Hennepin County to help with the costs of cleaning up and disposing of contaminated sediments. He noted this is a high priority area for the County and that the grant request would be for approximately$137,000,the estimated cost of cleanup for the project. MOTION• Commissioner Black moved that the Commission submit arag nt request for Hennepin County Environmental Response Funds for the 2017 Main Stem Erosion Repair Project. Seconded by Commissioner Welch Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0 [City of Minnetonka was 4bsent from the vote.] E. Review Status of 2016 Operating Budget Administrator Jester reported that the 2016 operating budget was on track for the year despite some line items that are over budget, because other areas are under budget. She noted that the revenue received through the agreements with the Met Council for the Blue Line and Southwest LRT projects nearly equal the amount that has been spent under"non-fee reviews." Commission Engineer Chandler noted that volume of development and reviews has been greater than expected. Further, she noted that there are more large projects this year where the cost to review is greater than the review fees. However, she agreed that overall the budget should be generally on track at the end of the fiscal year. F. Consider Approval of Budget Committee Recommendations for 2017 Operating Budget and Assessments to Cities Budget Committee Chair McDonald Black reported that the committee met on August 8"', considered the TAC's recommendations and the recommendations from Derek Asche, City of Plymouth. She noted the following recommendations: approve an FY 2017 operating budget of$645,600 and city assessments 4 BCWMC August 18, 2016, Meeting Minutes approximately 2%higher than the FY2016 assessments; approve using CIP funds for the Schaper Pond Diversion Project effectiveness monitoring; approve using Wenck Associates to perform 2017 routine lake monitoring; approve using Commission Engineer for the Sweeney Lake aeration study to be funded over two years; approve receiving input and recommendations from the Technical Advisory Committee on a project and/or policy related to when and how to go through a"request for proposals"process. There was some discussion about the City of Plymouth's resolution objecting to the original proposed budget sent to cities that included a 7% increase in assessments. Mr. Asche noted that while the city was hoping for a 0% increase in assessments, he appreciated the committee's work to lower assessments from a 7%to a 2% increase and their willingness to review fiscal policies. Commissioner Welch noted that Plymouth's recommendations be considered by the Commission and the TAC and that these bodies also consider suspending the use of an"engineering pool." MOTION• Commissioner Black moved to approve the Budget Committee's recommendations including a 2% increase in assessments to cities for fiscal year 2017 Seconded by Commissioner Welch. Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0. [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote.l G. Resolution of Appreciation for Services of Amy Herbert to the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission Although Ms. Herbert wasn't able to attend the meeting,Chair de Lambert read the resolution of appreciation for her services. Commissioner Welch noted that Ms. Herbert's work with the Commission was essential, particularly when the Commission did not have an Administrator. MOTION• Commissioner Mueller moved to approve the resolution of appreciation for the services of Amy Herbert to the BCWMC Seconded by Alternate Commissioner Crough. Upon a vote the motion carried 8-0. [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote.l 6. COMMUNICATIONS A. Administrator's Report Administrator Jester reported that she had registered the Commission for a table at the Golden Valley Arts and Music Festival and that she needed volunteers. Commissioner Welch,Alt. Commissioner Scanlan,and Chair de Lambert expressed interest in volunteering. Administrator Jester reported that the Commission was asked to participate in a panel discussion during an upcoming conference held by the Met Council on developing comprehensive plans. She noted that she would be happy to represent the Commission on the panel if there were no objections. Commissioners agreed it was an appropriate activity. Administrator Jester reported that the Lakeshore Weekly News had agreed to use Dawn Pape as a guest columnist to write water-related articles on the Commission's behalf. She also asked Commissioners to consider following the BCWMC on Facebook. B. Chair Chair de Lambert reminded Commissioners on the importance of engaging residents at events like the Golden Valley Arts and Music Festival. C. Commissioners No comments. 5 BCWMC August 18, 2016, Meeting Minutes D. TAC Members No comments. E. Committees i. APM/AIS Committee—Administrator Jester reported that at the second meeting of the APM/AIS Committee participants reviewed the activities of other organizations regarding APM and AIS. She indicated the next committee meeting is scheduled for September 27`n F. Legal Counsel No comments. G. Engineer Commission Engineer Chandler reported that more repairs were needed to anchor the floating baffle on Schaper Pond and that final site restoration was still needed. Commission Engineer Chandler reported that the City of Golden Valley has requested a proposal from Barr Engineering to complete their local water management plan(LWMP). She noted the Commission Engineer must review all LWMP from member cities so the Commission should consider hiring a separate firm to review the city's plan. She indicated that this was the same situation 10 years ago for several BCWMC member cities and at the time,the Commission hired Wenck to review the plans. Commissioners Welch and Black indicated that this situation was not ideal but that there was no contractual language disallowing the action. They indicated the Commission would need to hire a different firm to review the Golden Valley LWMP as before. Commission Engineer Chandler also noted several Barr-sponsored events coming up in September. She note everyone is invited to the events and to watch for separate emails. 7.

Executive Summary For Action Golden Valley City Council Meeting November 15, 2016 Agenda Item 3. F. Authorize Agreement with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) for preparation of the 2040 Comprehensive Waste Water Plan Prepared By Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Summary Each community within the seven county metropolitan area is required to prepare a Comprehensive Waste Water Plan as part of its required 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The required components of the Plan include a detailed Inflow and Infiltration mitigation strategy, a review of the sufficiency of the existing system, modeling of the system to identify deficiencies, and determine future capital needs. Staff solicited a proposal from SEH, Inc., dated November 1, 2016, to prepare the Comprehensive Waste Water Plan at a not to exceed cost of $34,600. A copy of the proposal is attached to this memorandum for reference. The City utilized the services of SEH for water issues for a number of years, including completion of the 2020 Comprehensive Waster Water Plan and implementation of the City’s Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program. Funding for these services is included in the 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Program (S-35, page 108) in the amount of $107,500. Attachments •Contract for professional services from SEH, Inc. to Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer dated November 1, 2016 (4 pages) Recommended Action Motion to enter into a professional services agreement with SEH, Inc. for preparation of the Comprehensive Waste Water Plan at a not to exceed amount of $34,600. J SEH Building a Better World for All of Us® November 1, 2016 RE: City of Golden Valley, Minnesota Met Council 2040 Planning Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Planning SEH No. 137340 GOLDV Mr.Jeff Oliver, PE City Engineer City of Golden Valley 7800 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, MN 55427 Dear Jeff: Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH®) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Golden Valley for updating their Comprehensive Plan for 2018 as required by the Metropolitan Council. The City's Comprehensive Plan is the part of a long-range planning document for future development of Golden Valley and the regional metropolitan area.The Comprehensive Plan will identify the City's goals and objectives for land use, housing, transportation,wastewater and water supply services, surface water, and natural environment including parks and open spaces. The following work scope provides an outline of the tasks needed to update the City's sanitary sewer collection system plan so Golden Valley can complete the wastewater section of their Met Council's 2040 comprehensive plan update. SEH will complete the plan using the previous comprehensive plan, the City's GIS database, current and future land use plans,water records and 1/1 data to update and model the City's current sanitary sewer collection system. The existing sanitary sewer model software (InfoSWMM) product licensed by Innovyze will be updated to determine design capacity in the existing collection system and any changes needed to handle future development. Our proposal assumes land use and water consumption data will be provided by the City of Golden Valley. The work scope for completing this proposal is as follows. Scope of Work Task 1 -Existing Wastewater Collection System Review As the City's sanitary sewer collection system ages,timely operation and maintenance of the system will be required. As part of the wastewater update, SEH will review city records representing areas of the City with the respect to pipe material, age and representative condition. We will meet with Golden Valley maintenance staff and discuss problem areas, review closed circuit television (CCTV)video, discuss operation and maintenance issues, and access overall collection system performance. SEH will meet with Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) staff to discuss the status of their interceptors, O&M issues, and identify capital improvement projects scheduled or planned and long range plans for the MCES collection system in the area which could impact the City. Comparing this information with generally accepted pipe longevity data, a guide for scheduling of maintenance and repair will be provided. Available methods of maintenance and repair of the collection system will be explored along with options for financing.

Task 2-Evaluate/Assess Golden Valley Sanitary Lift Stations SEH will perform a site visit to each sanitary sewer lift station owned by the City located in the Golden Valley sanitary sewer collection system to perform a condition assessment. The evaluation will consist of the following: • Perform a draw down test to establish pumping capacity for future modeling. • Review all existing as-built drawings • Inspect each station for maintenance and/or operational issues • Review past operation pump performance with operator to determine if there are any issues or concerns with performance by staff • Potential sewer rehabilitation or capital improvements Task 3-Sanitary Sewer Flow Projections In order to evaluate the capacity of the existing system,the City's sanitary sewer collection system will use the existing sewersheds developed under the current 1/1 program. Existing land use and water usage data from the City's GIS database will be updated to revise average wastewater flows by pipe section, district and sewershed. Water use trends and anticipated policy decisions will be factored into the determination of the average wastewater flows. Large commercial users with high water volume usage will be contacted to determine their existing wastewater component. SEH will review each major sewer user to determine if any of the commercial/industrial facilities are proposing any usage changes in the future which may impact overall sewer flows. Historical MCES wastewater flow data for the City of Golden Valley will be used to evaluate peaking factors for the system. SEH will review the peaking factor established by the MCES to determine if it is reasonable. Trends and experiences in other communities; current flow data; inflow and infiltration data; and evolving local and regional policies will be factored in to evaluate a peaking factor specific to the City's system. Peaking factors will be assigned appropriately to each sewer district and be used to determine peak flow conditions in individual reaches of pipe. For the most part,the City is all developed but does have select areas which could impact future sanitary sewer collection needs. SEH staff will work with Golden Valley staff and/or the project team to develop the ultimate site use and project potential increases in wastewater flow demand on the collection system. Task 4-Develop Sanitary Sewer Collection System Model As a tool to evaluate existing and future sanitary sewer collection system operation, SEH will update the existing Golden Valley sanitary sewer model of the collection system using InfoSWMM software. Data from the previous tasks in this work plan will populate the model with flow data for later calibration in future tasks. SEH will provide the City the final model and the assumptions used to prepare the final results. Output from the model will consist of pipe characteristics, required capacity,flow generation assumptions, peak flow factors, etc. Mr. Jeff Oliver, PE November 1, 2016 Page 3 Task 5-Sanitary Sewer Model Calibration Once the model is populated with the initial sewer flow data, SEH will use available flow monitoring data collected by MCES and the City to calibrate and check the validity of the data against field wastewater flow measurements at strategic locations (if possible) in the City's sanitary sewer collection system. Inflow/Infiltration data collected by MCES and the City during wet weather events from the summer of 2012 will be used to determine existing sanitary sewer collection system capacity during peak events. Task 6-Evaluate Golden Valley Sanitary Collection System SEH will review the existing capital improvement plans to identify future sanitary sewer utilize the calibrated model to analyze the sanitary collection system to determine the following: • Adequacy of the existing collection system capacity • Adequacy of the MCES interceptors • Evaluate existing capacity of current lift stations • Review collection system for potential operational issues • Potential sewer rehabilitation or capital improvements Task 7-Determine Future Sanitary Collection System Needs SEH will use the results of the previous tasks and the calibrated sanitary sewer model to make recommendations for long range planning and development of future interceptors to handle anticipate growth or more likely changes in land use density. SEH will review the following issues. • Identify potential pipe sizes to accommodate future system demands, as needed • Optimize alignment and location of future interceptors • Determine the need, capacity and locations of additional lift stations • Determine impacts of growth and sewer extensions on the existing collection system The results of the model will be used to develop capital improvements and recommendations for future long range planning. Options for financing collection system improvements will also be discussed. Task 8—Prepare Wastewater Comprehensive Plan SEH will provide the City with the final deliverable in the format acceptable by the city staff and prepared as an update to the existing Golden Valley Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan. The report will present a review of the work completed in the above tasks and assist the City in establishing a capital improvement plan for future needs.Two review drafts will be provided and a final electronic deliverable copy will be delivered as a final draft. Task 9-Planning and Council Meetings SEH will attend four project meetings with City and/or MCES staff during completion of the wastewater portion of the comprehensive plan. We propose to attend the following meetings. • A kick-off meeting with city staff. • Two staff meetings to discuss progress, issues, and model parameters. • One MCES staff meeting to discuss interceptor design and planning issues. SEH will be available for one final meeting with staff or attend city council workshop to review the overall direction and long range plan for capital wastewater improvements. Mr. Jeff Oliver, PE November 1,2016 Page 4 SEH has the staff available to begin the project as soon as the City of Golden Valley presents a notice to proceed on the project. Our estimated labor and expenses for completion of the project tasks presented in the Scope of Work listed in our proposal is$34,600. The work scope includes updating the previous wastewater comprehensive plan along with the sanitary sewer model developed in the original planning document and addressing the Met Council issues as identified in the Golden Valley system statement. If you are in agreement with the terms of this letter, please execute the agreement with the proper signatures and return one copy to our office. If you have any questions relating to this project, please call me at 651.490.2144. We look forward to continue working the City of Golden Valley on this important issue.

A. Amendment to Chapter 3: Public Utilities of Golden Valley City Code Regarding the Addition of a Sewer Access Charge and Water Access Charge Ordinance Prepared By Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer R.J. Kakach, EIT, Utility Engineer Summary As part of the Infrastructure Evaluation Analysis, staff has been working to determine additional sources of revenue to fund City projects and continue reinvesting in our infrastructure. In particular, the Sewer and Water Fund has been a priority as these systems approach the end of their design life, costing more and more to repair and maintain. Several neighboring Cities around the metro area are utilizing development and redevelopment projects to generate funding for City infrastructure needs. Specifically, Sewer Access Charges (SAC) and Water Access Charges (WAC) are utilized to compensate for additional sewer and water demands from new developments. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) already imposes a SAC charge that goes to fund its infrastructure maintenance and capital needs throughout the metro area. Staff is recommending that local SAC and WAC charges be adopted to fund City infrastructure needs. Staff has drafted an ordinance to incorporate into the City Code that requires all new development, redevelopment, or changes in use requiring additional MCES SAC units to be subject to City SAC and WAC fees. The SAC/WAC would be comprised of a Residential Equivalent Connection (REC) unit multiplied by a dollar amount that would be determined in the fee resolution. The REC would be determined by the MCES as they currently do for all proposed developments. A City SAC fee and WAC fee would be established to determine the amount that each development would be charged for the access to municipal utilities. The current SAC and WAC fees from neighboring and comparable cities are as follows: City SAC WAC St. Louis Park 0 $750 Minnetonka 0 $1,600 Crystal 0 0 New Hope 0 0 Plymouth 0 $1,226 Brooklyn Park 0 $1,875 Maple Grove 0 $2,235 Anoka $1,100 $2,000 Eden Prairie Residential $650 $1160 Eden Prairie Commercial $2830 $3960 Ramsey 0 $1,236 Spring Lake Park 0 $900 Edina $656 $1,310 Roseville 0 0 Wayzata $602 $2,165 Golden Valley (proposed)$650 $1700 Staff is proposing that the fee amounts for SAC and WAC in Golden Valley are as follows: Sewer Access Charge $ 650.00 Per REC Water Access Charge $1700.00 Per REC It should be noted that a number of projects have already received land use approval but are not yet underway. The ordinance, as drafted, include a grandfather clause to accommodate these projects. Specifically, the ordinance is proposed to be effective January 1, 2017, for any projects which have not yet received land use approvals. Any project with land use approvals granted prior to January 1, 2017, would not be required to pay a city SAC or WAC, unless the project commences after January 1, 2018.
