Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 13, 2017
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,
November 13, 2017. Vice Chair Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:19 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Black, Blum, Johnson, Segelbaum and
Waldhauser. Also present were Finance Director Sue Virnig, Planning Manager Jason
Zimmerman, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Baker and
Blenker were absent.
1. Approval of Minutes
October 9, 2017, Special Planning Commission Meeting
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to
approve the October 9, 2017, Special Planning Commission minutes as submitted.
October 23, 2017, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Johnson said he wanted it noted that he thinks Tax Increment Financing (TIF) discounts
the value of Golden Valley.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried 3 to 1 to approve
the October 23, 2017, Regular Planning Commission minutes as submitted.
Commissioner Blum abstained.
2. Presentation of Capital Improvement Program 2018-2022 – Sue Virnig, City
Finance Director
Virnig noted that the sections in the CIP include vehicles and equipment, parks,
Brookview Golf Course, buildings (general buildings and cablecasting), storm water utility,
water and sanitary sewer, streets, and the appendix.
Virnig highlighted some of the projects from each section of the CIP including: a new fire
pumper, lighting at Isaacson Park with funding from a Hennepin County Youth Sports
Grant, tennis court construction at Wesley Park, community gardens in 2019 and 2021,
an off-leash dog park, a new restaurant and pro shop along with other amenities at
Brookview Community Center, a City Hall boiler replacement, carpet replacement in the
second floor hallway of City Hall, remodeling of the Council Chambers, projects that will
reduce flooding in the Decola Ponds area, sanitary sewer replacement and maintenance
coinciding with the Pavement Management Program, additional flashing yellow arrows,
and bike trails per the Bicycle and Pedestrian task force recommendations.
Black asked how certain the City is that it will receive grant money. Virnig stated that the
City received a grant for lighting at Isaacson Park in the past and is hoping to get another
one in the future.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 13, 2017
Page 2
Segelbaum asked if anything has been significantly delayed due to funds being short.
Virnig stated that the 2020-2021 Pavement Management Program will have to be
extended to 2021 through 2023.
Blum thanked staff for the work that has gone into the CIP and asked if the Planning
Commission is supposed to do a constructive review of the plan or just confirm that it is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Virnig stated that the Planning Commission’s
role is to review the plan and state whether it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
or not. Zimmerman added that the Planning Commission will have more opportunity to
provide oversight as the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is implemented.
Waldhauser asked if there is flexibility in funding sewer replacement and maintenance
differently. Virnig stated that the City may have to consider an additional franchise fee as
an alternate funding source.
Black noted that some of the funds are being depleted and asked if that is a normal trend.
Virnig explained several of the funds and explained that the funds are looked at every
year for a five year period.
Blum said he struggles with understanding how the average citizen can digest this plan.
He said it would be useful to highlight issues that the City has received feedback on and
to show that those issues are being translated into budget items. Virnig stated that the
Communications Department could highlight the infrastructure plan and further discuss
Tax Increment Financing. Zimmerman suggested that CityNews articles tie back to the
Comprehensive Plan and the CIP and how it all works together.
Johnson referred to the joint commission meeting held in January regarding infrastructure
needs and goals and stated that his take away from that meeting was that the City would
need almost double the money for infrastructure projects. Now when he looks at this CIP
it doesn’t look like there is enough money dedicated to infrastructure. Virnig referred to
the Pavement Management Program and the infrastructure plan that looks at
infrastructure further into the future.
Blum said he was happy to hear that the City is getting away from bond financing and
said that seems more fiscally responsible to him. Virnig stated that she worries about levy
limits being brought back and the possibility of municipal bonds being taxable.
Waldhauser questioned how cities can generate funds moving forward and questioned if
there are ways other than levies to generate funds such as using a sales tax. Virnig
stated that the City would have to go to the legislature to implement a sales tax.
Blum noted that a lot of important expenditures are funds and said he thinks the City
doesn’t take advantage of some of its green infrastructure. He suggested that it might be
worthwhile to create a special fund for greenery and trees because it would cost less to
have green infrastructure. He added that one of the most heard comments in the city
survey was green issues and being good environmental stewards so he thinks it would be
a service to the citizens to have a budget item for green infrastructure.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 13, 2017
Page 3
Virnig noted that the Environmental Commission follows through on a lot of the “green”
issues. She stated that there are several green items spread throughout the CIP they just
aren’t in one section. Waldhauser agreed that calling out the green items and making it
more visible is a good idea and sometimes a cheaper way to do some things.
Waldhauser asked if narrower streets, curb bump-outs, and rain gardens are considered
during the pavement management projects. Zimmerman stated that those things among
others are considered whenever possible.
Johnson referred to page 92 and asked about the item regarding 1.5 miles of rehab on
Winnetka Avenue. Virnig explained that project is lining the water mains from Medicine
Lake Road to Highway 55 in conjunction with a CenterPoint project.
Blum referred to the Janalyn Pond lift station project and questioned if there might be
ways to mitigate needing a pump there with less expensive plantings and if the City would
be better served by looking at solutions that will cost less money in the long term. Virnig
said she would have to defer to the City Engineer about what alternatives there might be.
Johnson referred to page 108 and questioned the three major expenditures regarding
Xenia Avenue and Golden Hills Drive. Virnig stated that Xenia Avenue and Golden Hills
Drive improvements are paid for through assessments.
Blum referred to page 72 and noted that it looks like the City is paying $500,000 for carpet
replacement. Virnig stated that this is in draft form and will be changed.
Black asked if it is less expensive for the City to provide for a large development or a
small development. Virnig stated that not every development needs assistance from the
City so it really depends on the project.
Johnson stated that as the City offers TIF it foregoes the tax revenue and increases the
use of the infrastructure. Zimmerman stated that the City misses out on the increase in
tax value for a certain time but without TIF the City might not have gotten some of the
developments at all. Virnig added that commercial properties help with the City’s fixed
costs and job creation and that the City reaps the benefits of the building permits so there
is so much more that these developments bring to the City.
Waldhauser questioned if there should be something in the CIP about the new community
center. Virnig stated that the community center is part of the General Fund and Special
Other Funds. She added that it is a special revenue fund and that they will pay their
expenditures.
Blum referred to the Cable Commission and noted that cities are paying millions of dollars
to keep the local TV station going when there are perhaps other tools that are more cost
effective and will reach more people. He asked if any thought has been given to phasing
that out. Virnig noted that Council Member Clausen is a representative on the Cable
Commission and that they have many statistics about the viewership. She added that
there is a franchise fee for the cable equipment and that tax dollars are not used.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 13, 2017

Waldhauser added that many residents watch the cable TV channel programs and
meetings that are televised.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of the 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Program as it is consistent
with the goals and policies of Golden Valley’s Comprehensive Plan.
--Short Recess--
3. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City
Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings
Zimmerman stated that Tennant has withdrawn all of their recently submitted planning
applications.
Zimmerman stated that a new Planning Commissioner has been appointed and will be
attending the next Planning Commission meeting.
4. Other Business
• Council Liaison Report

Special Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 27, 2017
A special meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday,
November 27, 2017. Vice Chair Johnson called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Black, Blenker, Blum, Brookins, Johnson,
Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present were Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman
and Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner.
Commissioner Brookins was sworn in by Vice Chair Johnson.
1. Comp Plan Work Session – Resilience and Sustainability
Zimmerman gave a recap of the Comprehensive Plan process, what had been done to
date, and the anticipated schedule for review and approval of the 2040 Comp Plan
through the rest of 2017 and into 2018.
Goellner introduced the draft Resilience and Sustainability chapter and mentioned that
one challenge was to balance the language in the document between the aspirational and
the pragmatic. Segelbaum recommended that staff be selective about where to use
stronger language in the plan.
Segelbaum asked about the timing of the public comment period for the 2040 Comp Plan.
Blum suggested that an open-ended survey could be a good way to garner more
responses during the comment period. Zimmerman said that the Communications staff
would provide a variety of ways for community members to provide input during the public
comment period in 2018.
Johnson suggested that the introduction of each chapter include an outline or bulleted list
of the main points or key takeaways from the chapter. The list could potentially include
what is new, different, or actionable since the last Comp Plan update.
Blum stated he hoped there were ways to achieve the goals and objectives without
having to resort to trade-offs, such as accommodating both solar energy and enhanced
vegetation by placing solar panels on commercial-industrial properties and trees in
residential neighborhoods, for example. Waldhauser said that perhaps “green” policies
should be implemented to the same degree as required storm water regulations.
Blum wondered if Goal 4 (Protect and Enhance the Natural Environment) should be
moved to be Goal 1 since he felt this was the top priority of those who responded to the
Community Survey and who attended the Comp Plan open houses. Goellner replied that
the Environmental Commission, who drafting the chapter text, had other reasons for
putting Clean Energy as Goal 1, but that she would inquire with the staff liaison for the
Environmental Commission about this idea.
Blenker asked about the City’s policies for converting turf to native plantings.
Special Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
November 27, 2017
Page 2
Blum said he would be interested in tying more financial incentives to the Goals of the
Plan, including fining property owners who do not remove invasive species from their
yards. He also worried that showing the City’s tree canopy coverage at 40% while
indicating that the healthy level is only 30% might provide future justification for an
increase in tree removals.
Brookins asked if there should be additional mention of homes and buildings as
infrastructure in the Built Environment section of the Existing Conditions. Segelbaum
asked if resiliency/sustainability pays for itself or if the City needs to be tying more money
to these improvements. Waldhauser stated that studies have linked examples of green or
sustainable practices to increased community health.
The Commissioners pointed out the challenge in addressing aspects of sustainability that
are also covered in other chapters of the Plan. Zimmerman stated that some of these
overarching relationships could be explored further in the introductory chapter.
2. Comp Plan Work Session – Parks and Natural Resources
Zimmerman introduced the Parks chapter and mentioned some of the comments that had
been submitted regarding edits, including rewriting Goal 4 (Grow Brookview Golf and
Recreation Area) to separate golf activities from other amenities.
He also noted that comments included placing more emphasis on passive recreation due
to its importance to residents.
Zimmerman added that comments were received about revisiting the calculations for the
ratio of acres of parkland to number of residents. Waldhauser noted that neighborhood
parks are well spread out in the community. Zimmerman stated that the trail system
should continue connecting neighborhood residents to community and regional parks
within the City.
Blum stated that he would like the plan to go further with exploring ways to support or
enhance the park system with private funds (naming rights, sponsorships, etc.).
Waldhauser noted the importance of native species, but asked whether the City Forester
and other staff are aware of which native species are truly sustainable in the long term.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.

Special Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
December 11, 2017
A special meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Conference Room, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on
Monday, December 11, 2017. Chair Baker called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Baker, Black, Blenker, Blum, Brookins,
Johnson, Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present were Planning Manager Jason
Zimmerman and Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner.
1. Comp Plan Work Session – Land Use
Zimmerman reviewed the schedule for completing the Comprehensive Plan update and
pointed out that the early part of 2018 would be spent reviewing draft chapters of the plan.
He summarized some of the feedback he had received regarding the land use plan,
including concerns that it was hard to capture all of the areas of the City where passive
and active open spaces uses mixed on the same parcels. One solution would be to
generalize all of the open space on the Future Land Use Map and allow the individual
park plans to specify locations for passive uses. Baker emphasized that it was important
to recognize the passive use area so that they were not assumed to be unimportant and
would be protected as future changes took place. Others agreed and Zimmerman said he
would look at additional ways to make this point in the chapter.
Zimmerman displayed changes that had been made to the land use plans since the last
conversation in October. Goellner pointed out a few areas along Highway 100 that were
excess highway right-of-way properties and needed to be guided for future uses other
than right-of-way. All but one were targeted to be low intensity residential. The property at
300 Turners Crossroad was large enough that there were potentially options for other
uses there. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of preserving the area as open
space, using it for single family homes, or building attached housing. All agreed a broader
community engagement process should be used to get the input of the neighborhood to
the west.
Staff discussed a potential redevelopment project at 2445 Winnetka Avenue and
suggested the proposed medium intensity residential use might be a better option than
the commercial use that had previously been discussed.
Zimmerman presented an effort to distinguish between “neighborhood” and “community”
level flex use/mixed use nodes on the plan. Goellner reviewed some revised land use
categories that distinguished between the two and asked for feedback. Zimmerman
pointed out which nodes were being targeted for neighborhood-level activity and which
were marked for community-level activity. He also reviewed a chart showing the preferred
housing/job breakdown within each area.
Questions were asked about how the zoning would work to support the vision of the land
use plan. Staff described some ideas, including targeting specific uses for the two scales

of mixed use development, utilizing site design standards that are already in the I-394
Mixed Use district, and creating a Pedestrian Overlay to help encourage good design and
exclude auto-oriented uses such as gas stations along certain road corridors. Goellner
pointed out that all of the mixed use nodes were in areas where redevelopment was
either likely or encouraged to occur. Blum asked if there would be more detailed plans for
any of the areas in order to guide redevelopment. Zimmerman noted that the four
Planning Districts on the draft Land Use Plan would be described for planning purposes,
but there would also be more detailed descriptions for small areas or specific parcels
within the Districts. He also discussed a few opportunities for further planning, including
money in the 2018 City budget to create a plan for the downtown and work being done
around the Golden Valley Road light rail station as part of the Bottineau Community
Works project at Hennepin County.
Blum expressed some concerns that the mixed use nodes were too segregated and that
perhaps larger areas should be designated as mixed use in order to allow better
coordination. Zimmerman reminded the Commissioners that the four Planning Districts
that were initially discussed would provide guidance, but that there were many properties
where change was not being encouraged. Blum said he was not convinced that the
industrial properties that were being preserved were as valuable as he was being led to
believe, and that there may be greater value in seeing them redevelop. Blenker said she
was worried there was not enough residential density proposed to support the amount or
retail that the Commissioners indicated they wanted. Baker suggested that the
Commission and staff continue to seek expert feedback from sources such as the Urban
Land Institute for the City’s planning purposes. Goellner added that experts at the last
feedback session with Urban Land Institute noted that revitalization of the existing Golden
Valley Shopping Center holds significant opportunities and that it is beneficial to keep that
property guided for commercial use.
2. Comp Plan Work Session – Transportation
Goellner displayed some of the maps that were generated as part of the work on the
Transportation chapter, including a functional classification map and maps showing the
projected levels of congestion on roads in Golden Valley in 2040 based on population
growth and the draft land use plan. She also discussed the Highway 169 Mobility Study
and what it might mean for future bus rapid transit along Highway 55.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:52 pm.

Special Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
January 8, 2018
A special meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Conference Room, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on
Monday, January 8, 2018. Chair Baker called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Baker, Black, Blenker, Blum, Johnson,
Segelbaum, and Waldhauser. Also present were Council Member Rosenquist, Planning
Manager Jason Zimmerman, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, and Jay
Demma and Mike Lamb representing the consulting team for Hennepin County
Community Works. Commissioner Brookins was absent.
1. Hennepin County Community Works – TOD Zoning Study Update
Zimmerman introduced Demma and Lamb and gave a brief background of the work being
done in association with the METRO Blue Line Extension project for Hennepin County
Community Works.
Demma introduced the TOD Zoning Study and provided some of the highlights of the
work completed to date with respect to drafting zoning tools for use in the Golden Valley
Road station area. Segelbaum asked about the timing of producing new zoning language.
Baker said it needed to be coordinated with the adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan.
Zimmerman said it would likely follow the Comp Plan update by no more than nine
months.
Blum asked about the target density for a redevelopment site in the station area. Demma
replied that the Metropolitan Council’s requirements are for 25 units per acre but higher
densities are encouraged. Baker asked about the feasibility of development and if
commercial uses would be supported. Zimmerman replied that a Commercial Market
Study was being conducted as part of the consultant’s work and that this question would
be addressed.
Black asked about the current net density of the station area once parks and open space
were subtracted. Demma said the report would provide that information.
Demma said the next steps would be to conduct a workshop with staff and then to meet
again with the Planning Commission and City Council. Rosenquist cautioned that the
neighborhoods around the Golden Valley Road station had been very engaged in past
discussions and wanted to be sure that this process would be sensitive to their concerns.
2. Comp Plan Work Session – Housing
Goellner introduced the Housing chapter and pointed out some of the main points in the
updated chapter, including new themes of affordable housing preservation,
accommodation of senior housing, and greater energy efficiency. She stated that the
2040 plan has been drafted to be much more forward thinking compared to the 2030 plan,
which was focused on preservation of the existing housing stock. Although there is
Special Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
January 8, 2018
Page 2
market demand for many types of housing in Golden Valley, there is not enough space to
build it all so the City will need to choose where it wants to focus.
Seagelbaum asked how the Commission should attempt to balance all of the competing
goals. Baker said he thought it was important to be specific about priorities and then
understand what you are willing to forego. Johnson pointed out that in addition to
limitations associated with land and resources, there are also limitations in City services
and staff.
Johnson said he was surprised by the high percentage of homes in Golden Valley that
are cost burdened. Segelbaum supported the plan to establish regular staff meetings to
discuss housing issues. Baker wondered if “disinvested” or vacant properties are a
concern. Zimmerman outlined the process that the City uses to address property
maintenance issues, including the use of Administrative Citations. Waldhauser wondered
if utility use tracking could be used to help determine when a home is vacant.
Blum asked if there could be more transparency regarding resident complaints about
these properties and attempts to have them resolved. He said he believes it should be
possible for the City to provide information about specific addresses. Baker agreed that
the City should follow the law with respect to releasing data, but also wanted staff to
protect the privacy of individuals when possible.
Seagelbaum asked if the goals and objectives were too aggressive and if the City could
accomplish them all. Goellner replied that there was a fair amount of pressure to take
immediate action, particularly on affordable housing. Waldhauser asked if it would be
possible to quantify some of the costs associated with the actions.
Blum referred to the on-line questions posed as part of the Comp Plan process and
reminded the Commission that being “green,” clean, safe, and multi-modal were all
priorities. Baker cautioned that on-line surveys can be biased and should not be taken as
a representation of the entire community. Johnson asked if sustainability could also
include economic equity.
Black asked if the goals were being written in a way that they could be used to deny a
proposed PUD or TIF district if the City did not feel they were appropriate, or if they were
too vague.
Blum asked if the City really was interested in researching Accessory Dwelling Units or if
this had already been discussed and rejected. Zimmerman reminded the Commission
that a recent zoning text amendment prohibiting accessory units was specific to
Temporary Health Care Dwellings as defined by the State. The Commission agreed that
language in the implementation plan about accessory dwelling units should be clarified.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:47 pm.

3. E. 1. Purchase Electric Golf Carts for Brookview Golf Course
Prepared By
Mike Ward, Golf Maintenance Supervisor
Rick Birno, Director of Park and Recreation
Summary
The 2018-2022 (GC-009-1) Brookview Golf Capital Improvement Program includes $275,000 for the
purchase of sixty golf carts. The current gas powered carts are 8 years old and ready for
replacement. Staff has researched both gas powered carts and electric carts and is recommending
the more environmentally friendly option of electric. Brookview was built as a LEED Silver building
and staff believes Brookview Golf Course should also work to support Golden Valley’s Green
Initiative and therefore would like to move forward with the electric golf cart option.
The 2018-2022 (GC-009-2) also includes $33,000 for improvements to the driving range that would
involve air handling and electrical outlets. The total improvements came to $8,150. The remainder
will fund the overage on the carts.
Budget Actual
GC-009 -1 $275,000 $276,746.49
GC-009-2 33,000 8,150.00
$308,000 $284,896.49
The current fleet of 60 gas powered golf carts will be sold or traded-in at an amount of $1,675 per
unit for a total of $100,500. 58 will be traded with the purchase of the new electric cards. Two will
be paid for from the Police DUI fund that may be used with special events or crowd control. The sale
of carts is considered a revenue for the golf course and was budgeted in the 2018-2019 Brookview
Golf Course Operating Budget.
This purchase will be a transaction through the U.S. Communities purchasing alliance, Club Car
contract number EV2024-02. The expense for the new 60 electric golf carts purchase is as follows:

Summary
The 2018-2022 Vehicle and Equipment Capital Improvement Program (V&E-095) includes
$40,000 (funded from the DUI fund) for the purchase of a Police Pickup Truck.
The 2012 Ford F-150 Crew Cab pickup, unit 820, meets replacement criteria set forth in the City’s
vehicle replacement policy and Vehicle Condition Index (VCI). The VCI is a tool utilized to assess
all vehicles and equipment scheduled for replacement and any vehicle/equipment scoring 28
points and above meets the category of “needs immediate consideration.” The pickup due for
replacement scored 29 points.
The existing pickup is used by Community Service Officers (CSO) for hauling miscellaneous
equipment and pulling trailers. Ford has upgraded the F-150 pickup to pursuit standards allowing
it to be used as a patrol vehicle making it more versatile.
The recently upgraded F-150 pickup to the Police Responder pickup is currently not on the
Minnesota Materials Management Division contract. Quotes were received from Ford of Hibbing
and Midway Ford. The results are as follows:
Ford of Hibbing $34,817.92
Midway Ford $36,470.00

3. G. Agreements for 2018-2019 Sanitary Sewer Repair Program
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
R.J. Kakach, PE, Assistant City Engineer
Summary
The City of Golden Valley Pavement Management Program (PMP) includes a voluntary program
to allow residents in the project area to rehabilitate their sanitary sewer service with the goal of
becoming compliant with the Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance. This program allows property
owners to obtain competitive bids from pre-approved contractors, and provides the property
owners the opportunity to have the costs of sewer rehabilitation specially assessed against the
property if they choose for a 10-year period.
In 2013, this program was also expanded to offer residents throughout the City the ability to
assess sanitary sewer repairs in non-PMP areas if they are working to achieve I/I compliance. This
program is similar to past PMP sanitary sewer repair program; however, this assessment is over a
5-year period and includes a $250 administrative fee.
Contractors eligible for the program need to demonstrate the ability to perform excavation
and/or liner repairs, have a history of performing service repairs in Golden Valley, and have
readily available equipment and financial resources. The following three private sanitary sewer
service repair contractors qualify for this program which will run from 2018 through 2019:
• Gene’s Water and Sewer
• Highview Plumbing
• Ouverson Sewer and Water
Each of these contractors is required to enter into an Agreement with the City of Golden Valley to
perform private repairs as part of the sanitary sewer repair program. The contractors will be
responsible for contacting each resident who is interested in having their repair costs specially
assessed and providing them with estimates for the repair. When property owners have selected
a contractor for their repairs, a three-party agreement between the City, property owner, and
private contractor is signed by all parties. Following completion of the repairs, the property
owner may opt to have the costs specially assessed to the property.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
February 20, 2018
Agenda Item
3. I. Resolutions Supporting and Approving Hennepin County Grant Funding Applications
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
The following non-profit organizations have requested a letter of support from the City of Golden
Valley for their grant funding applications. The funding pools include the CDBG, HOME, and
Affordable Housing Incentive Fund (AHIF). All of these programs are funded by the federal
government and administered by Hennepin County. In addition, the City must act as the applicant
for WHAHLT’s CDBG funding request. A resolution authorizing the submittal of this application by
City staff as well as the draft application are attached.
CAP-HC
Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County (CAP-HC), formerly known as Community
Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH), is a non-profit organization that works to
establish services, programs, and partnerships that address poverty and increase family and
economic stability. CAP-HC has developed a proposal for the use of Hennepin County CDBG funds
for their Individual Asset Building and Maintenance Program. The program includes counseling,
education, and asset development for income-qualified individuals in the community. Specifically,
this includes counseling and education on foreclosure prevention, reverse mortgages, home
rehabilitation and maintenance, first-time homebuyer information, financial literacy, and tax
preparation.
HOME Line
HOME Line is a non-profit organization that provides free and low-cost legal, organizing, education,
and advocacy services. HOME Line provides renters with the tools necessary to keep their homes
safe, in good repair, and affordable. The organization has developed a proposal for the use of
Hennepin County CDBG funds for their Tenant Hotline, which provides free legal advice to tenants
about landlord and tenant law. These services prevent problems ranging from homelessness to
illness from unsafe living conditions, and result in reducing the use of local emergency resources. In
2017, HOME Line advised approximately 50 renter households in Golden Valley. The most common
issues they advised on included evictions, notices to vacate, repairs, and security deposits. The
CDBG program is one of many funding sources for this program.
PRISM
People Responding in Social Ministry (PRISM) is a community-based non-profit organization with a
mission to provide social services and connections that empower people in the community to build
healthy, stable lives. PRISM has developed a proposal for the use of Hennepin County CDBG funds
for income-qualified people living in Golden Valley as well as other nearby communities. The
proposal requests CDBG funding for the Homelessness Prevention Program. This program provides
financial assistance to individuals and families who are at risk of losing their home and facing
homelessness due to a crisis or temporary circumstance. In addition to providing emergency
assistance for rent and other housing costs, PRISM negotiates with landlords to help participants
avoid costly housing court proceedings, obtains security deposits to allow timely move-ins, assists
in applying for energy assistance programs, provides referrals for community resources, and more.
Senior Community Services
Senior Community Services is a community-based non-profit organization with a mission to
develop, coordinate, and provide services that help meet the needs of older adults and support
their caregivers. The organization provides a comprehensive set of services to help seniors live
independently in their homes. Senior Community Services has developed a proposal for the use of
Hennepin County CDBG funds for seniors living in Golden Valley. The proposal requests CDBG
funding for services such as minor home repairs, reliable and affordable homemaking, home safety
assessments and installations, yard work, snow removal, and access to a variety of other resources
at a sliding fee scale based on income.
WHAHLT
West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT), doing business as Homes Within Reach,
is a community-based non-profit organization with a mission to use the Community Land Trust
model to create and preserve affordable homeownership opportunities for families in suburban
Hennepin County. WHAHLT has developed a proposal for the use of Hennepin County HOME and
Affordable Housing Incentive Funds (AHIF) for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and sale of entry-level
single-family homes to income-qualified families and individuals who otherwise would be unable to
buy a home in Golden Valley. A resolution of support for this funding application is attached.
WHAHLT has also worked with City staff to develop an application for CDBG funding. The City
would not contribute any funding for this project, but must act as the applicant for this type of
activity. WHAHLT is requesting $125,000 in CDBG funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of
one single-family home in Golden Valley. There are currently two single-family homes in Golden
Valley that are actively utilizing WHAHLT’s Community Land Trust program, which is a model for
affordable homeownership that is described in the attached application. There is a third property
currently under acquisition, which is being funded by the 2017 CDBG, HOME, and AHIF programs
with Hennepin County. In 2017, the City and Homes Within Reach received $60,000 in CDBG
funding. If funding were awarded this year, the acquisition and rehabilitation of a single-family
home would occur between July 2018 and June 2019. In that timeframe, the home would be sold
to an income-qualified individual or family that currently lives or works in Golden Valley.

Activity Information
Activity Name:Housing Activity
Amount of 2018 CDBG Funding Request: $125,000
Use of CDBG Funds (e.g. acquisition, rehabilitation, construction): Use of the CDBG funds will be
used for the acquisition of land, rehabilitation and project costs, to create and sustain an affordable
home for a low to moderate income work-force household in the City of Golden Valley, which will
create initial and long-term affordability for a family who otherwise would be unable to purchase a
home in Golden Valley. This is accomplished by continuing the implementation of West Hennepin
Affordable Housing Land Trust dba Homes Within Reach, Community Land Trust practice. Please
refer to WHAHLT’s Commitment letter –Exhibit 1.
Description of Activity: The proposed housing activity is to create the fourth long-term affordable
homeownership option for a work-force family in the City of Golden Valley. Homes Within Reach
(HWR) uses the Community Land Trust practice, where they acquire and retain the ownership of real
property, rehabilitates the property and then sells the improvements (home) to a qualified buyer
earning less than 80% Area Median Income (AMI). HWR offers long-term affordability via a 99-year
Ground Lease, which is recycled with every resale.
The components of permanent housing affordability and subsidy retention create and preserve the
affordability of the home. The removal of the market value of the land from the mortgage equation
provides initial affordability and permanent affordability is obtained through a pricing formula that
provides the owner with an amount of equity (35%) while ensuring the resale price of the home is
affordable and a resale restriction that requires the homeowner to sell the house to another qualified
household. Therefore, the removal of the market value of the land from the mortgage equation
provides initial affordability and permanent affordability is obtained through:
• A pricing formula that provides the owner with an amount of equity while ensuring that the
resale price of the home is affordable and
• A resale restriction that requires the homeowner to sell the house to another qualified
household.

increased in value,the homeownerwho sells his or her
home will get all of their equity (the amount of money that they used as a down payment as well as
all principal that has been paid). In addition, they will receive 35% of the home's appreciation (the
amount that a home has increased in value since it was purchased).
The home will be part of the resale-restricted domain of WHAHLT and will remain affordable for low-
moderate income households,through one resale after another,and to continue to serve homebuyers
without the need of additional subsidies, regardless the number of times the home sells (99-198
years). The Ground lease (executed between WHAHLT and the homeowner) protects the assets of
the land by providing the land trust certain rights to safeguard the condition and affordability of the
home.
Please see Exhibit 2 — How the Community Land Trust Works for further details.
The housing project is funded by two sources of capital; proceeds of the sale of the home to a
qualified buyer and the grants and in-kind resources awarded to the organization to cover the costs
of the land, renovations and project costs. The proposed activity will have multiple matching funding
sources to augment the requested CDBG award,which includes Hennepin County AHIF, Metropolitan
Council and Minnesota Housing funds.

Who is the target clientele? What populations will benefit from the activity?
HWR was created to increase the number of homeownership opportunities that exist for working
households in suburban Hennepin County. As stated above, Homes Within Reach’s target market is
work-force households with incomes at 80% or less of area median income (AMI). HWR has served
households between 32% to 79% AMI over the past 15 years. The program average AMI is 59.60 %
for new sales of homes and 62.20% for resales.
HWR supports work-force families providing essential services to the community and surrounding
suburbs who typically cannot afford to purchase an entry-level home in Golden Valley; such as
custodians, teachers, municipal workers, retail staff, office personnel, food prep staff, customer service
representatives and many more.
Furthermore, the HWR CLT program provides stable affordable housing costs (moving away from the
ever-escalating rent); which enables the homeowner to invest in endeavors that truly enhance the
quality of their lives, such as education for the family, career opportunities, supportive health
environment and the comfort and security of being homeowners.
HWR program features of cost, quality and location of its homes has been and continues to appeal
and draw interest from work-force households with low to moderate income. Impact on owning a
home for HWR buyers is that it provides a stabilized environment for families and specifically children.
This includes but is not limited to having their own bedrooms and or living space in their home, a
backyard to play in and or a neighborhood with kids to develop friendships, access to multiple
recreational spaces that are safe and provide family time and a stable environment to raise children.
What needs does this activity address?
Many times, entry-level properties are overpriced for the majority of work-force households who work
or live in the suburban communities of Hennepin County and provide essential community services,
including the City of Golden Valley. Increased home values are due to high land values, increase
demand and reduction in supply, while wages have not increased accordingly and cannot keep pace
with increases in housing costs.
According the Minneapolis Area Association ofRealtors 2017 Annual Housing Overview, the12-month
period covering January 2017 through December 2017 property values continued to rise.
Page 5 of 11
The chart on the right illustrates the
increase in the median prices to
purchase a home in the HWR target
market area over the past five-year
period.
As you can see the City of Golden
Valley median prices have increased
over 27% since 2013, and from 2016
to 2017 experienced an 8% increase;
making it difficult for low to moderate
working families to become
homeowners in Golden Valley.
According to Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, seven of the communities in HWR target area are
communities with a net grow of 500 jobs or more (2009-2014) and Golden Valley is one of the seven.
This growth puts additional pressure on ability to purchase a home because of increasing housing
prices for those low to moderate workers who cannot meet the income requirements for an entry
level suburban home.
Homes Within Reach has served 163 families as of 1/31/2018 with an average income of $43,458
(2002-2017) and $49,705 in 2017, which means HWR is serving families who are typically over
burdened with housing expense and have the least possible options available to own a home.
HWR program not only offers value and benefits to the families it has assisted in becoming
homeowners; the program also expands homeownership opportunities, retains community wealth,
by making maximum use of existing properties and the community’s infrastructure with younger
households. It also provides a mechanism to invest in affordable homeownership, which enhances
residential stability and the preservation of housing affordability by recycling funds from owner to
owner.
How does the activity meet a need identified in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan?
HWR program meets the Hennepin County Consolidated high priority for offering homeownership
assistance by creating and preserving long-term affordable homeownership to workforce families
(80% AMI or lower) in the suburbs of Hennepin County.
In addition, the program requires homeownership training by our applicants via the Homestretch
Classes, which is another high priority of the Consolidated Plan and HWR works with homeowners
when crisis arise and they need to participate in foreclosure prevention measures or other financial
crisis.
Furthermore, over the years, several of our families have members who are physically disabled have
worked with HWR, Hennepin County and other non-profits to make the home accessible and barrier
free for the disabled family member.
How does the activity meet other locally identified community development needs?
The proposed activity of creating and sustaining affordable homeownership in the City of Golden
Valley meets a community priority because of the challenges of providing affordable homeownership
options and the need for additional suburban workforce housing since the price of entry-level
properties are out of the reach for many essential workers who work and or live in Golden Valley and
the surrounding area.

West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust’s Homes Within Reach program has fifteen years of
experience providing scattered site affordable homeownership meeting multiple community needs,
including the City of Golden Valley; they include but are not limited to the following.
1.Workforce families provide essential services to maintain and sustain the infrastructure of the
community.
2.Demand for living in the suburban communities has led to increased home values that have
risen to the point that many single-family homes, despite their age, are not affordable to low
and moderate income work-force families. Land values in particular have increased, making
it difficult for developers to build affordable single-family homes.
3.The program preserves community resources through the use of existing buildings
(preservation and rehabilitation of existing housing stock) and the community’s infrastructure.
4.The program enables new comers to join the community, support the investment in the
delivery of the Community’s infrastructure and maximize the one-time investment in
sustaining affordability.
The purpose of creating affordable homeownership offers an opportunity for work-force families to
become homeowners, which in turn adds value to the buyer and the City of Golden Valley and
protects the investment of the subsidy made possible by many funders.
Describe any community or private partnership support:
Community support and partnership is important and it began in 2001 with the City of Minnetonka
sponsoring the development of WHAHLT as a Community Land Trust (CLT) for the purpose to create
and preserve affordable homeownership options in Minnetonka, with the goal to expand the program
in the suburbs of Hennepin County. Over the years, WHAHLT applied the CLT model developed for
Minnetonka and expanded its outreach to eleven other communities over the past fifteen years and
the City of Golden Valley is one of those eleven communities.
HWR partners with organizations like NeighborWorks Home Partners, who administers a fix-up loan
program for CLT homeowners and providers who offer credit counseling to assist prospective
applicants who need to repair their credit in order to qualify for a mortgage through Community
Action Partnership of Hennepin County and other accredited providers funded by Minnesota
Housing. When homeowners are in a time of crisis, HWR works with homeowners and refers them
to city/county/private resources to assist them with their challenges and needs.
HWR collaborates with the Minneapolis Community Land Trust with data collection and networking
activities and continues to be a member of the Minnesota CLT Coalition and the Grounded Solution
Network, where the organization works with its peers on lobbying initiatives, development of best
practices, resources and products the CLT’s offer to current and future homeowners.

who would not have been able to purchase a home without HWR assistance. HWR commenced
implementing its homeownership program in 2006 in the City of Golden Valley, creating two
affordable homes in 2006 -2007. HWR executed a purchase agreement to acquire the 3
rd affordable
home in Golden Valley during January of 2018.
Not only has HWR grown in the number of families it has assisted, but it also has grown with respect
to the assortment of styles and types of entry-level homes it has offered to work-force families;
beginning with existing detached single family homes in 2002, adding a newly constructed detached
single family home in 2005 and townhomes and twin homes in 2004 through 2011.
The steady growth over the years is supported by the HWR staff and its team of consultants and
specialized vendors, (contractors, realtors, attorney, appraiser, closer, auditor etc.) who deliver the
resources, expertise and services to accomplish the operational responsibilities in creating and

Emily Goeliner
City of Golden Valley

Golden Valley, MN 55427
Dear Emily Goeliner:
This letter confirms that West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust(WHAHLT) dba Homes
Within Reach (HWR) is committed to working with the City of Golden Valley to create and
preserve an affordable ownership home in Golden Valley, using the Community Land Trust
practice in 2018-2019.
At WHAHLT's November 14, 2017 Board meeting, the 2018 Financial Plan was approved,
providing housing production estimates for 2018, if funding was available and Golden Valley
was a community in our target service. Therefore, HWR would look forward to working with
the City of Golden Valley to create the fourth affordable homeownership option in the City,
using the Community Land Trust practice. It is our understanding that this is subject to
availability of Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funding. As with the past Golden
Valley projects, WHAHLT is committed to providing staff and other resources to manage the
implementation of this project.
We look forward to working together on this project. The use of Community Development
Block Grant funding will result in many benefits to a low to moderate income workforce
family that provide essential services to Golden Valley and surrounding communities, yet
cannot afford to purchase a home in Golden Valley.
If you have any questions with respect our commitment, please contact me at 952-401-7071.
Sincerely
C������4�����

�� .�,, Roarh,�
estNennep�n flffordoble Hout�ng LondTrusF
West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust dba Homes Within Reach is a Community Land Trust.
A Community Land Trust organization is a-
• Nonprofit organization
• Formed to hold title to land to preserve its long-term affordability
• Receives public and private donations of land or monies, to purchase land on which housing exists or
can be built
• The homes are sold to low-to-moderate income workforce families
• The CLT retains ownership of the land and provides a long-term ground lease to homebuyers to secure
their rights to use the land
• The CLT retains a long-term option to re-purchase the homes at a formula-driven purchase price when
homeowners later decide to sell&move.
Two key components driving the interest in Community Land Trusts are
0 A Socia/Componeni:Promoting homeownership for low to moderate income families
0 A FinancialComponenr Protecting the public's investment in affordable homeownership
The Community Land Trust(CLT) is one vehicle that allows homeownership to be
CLTPractice affordable for low-to-moderate income workforce families.
A Community Land Trust (CLT) establishes affordability by removing the value of

A CLT ensures permanent affordabilitX of the home through two provisions found in the Ground Lease.
0 The first is a pricing formula that provides the owner with a fair amount of equity (25%-35%), while
ensuring the sale price for subsequent low-to-moderate income households is affordable.
0 The second provision requires the homeowner to sell either to another low-to-moderate income
household. In addition,the provisions ensure the home continues to be affordable with each sale.
A CLT leaseholder-homeowner receives benefits similar to non-CLT homeowners such as the ability to build
equity, the federal mortgage interest and property tax deduction and the ability to pass on the lease interest
and home to their heirs.
The following Chart provides an example of how a Community Land Trust creates initial and permanent
affordability(99 years plus). The example compares the difference in affordability after ten years under the CLT
and conventional model.

The chart above demonstrates that after ten years, the CLT home sells for $145,648 as opposed to $295,662
under the conventional model,a difference of$150,014.
There are two primary factors to account for this difference. First,the land has been permanently removed from
the speculative market. Secondly, the homeowner receives only a percentage of the appreciation of the home
when they decide to sell. In the above example,the owner receives 35%or $15,648, based on a formula that is
standard among CLTs (25-35%) across the United States, where the homeowner receives only a portion of the
appreciation in order to make the home affordable for each subsequent sale.

3. J. Consider First Amendment to Liberty Crossing P.U.D. #123
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
Liberty Crossing Investment Partners, LLC has requested a modification to the PUD Development
Agreement to reduce the deposit it submitted to the City for public improvements required as
part of the development. At the onset of the project, the Developer deposited $1,796,250 in cash
with the City and a security reduction schedule was not included in the original development
agreement. The public improvements, which consist of sewer and water service through the
development, have been installed and the systems are functional. However, finish work for
valves, castings, and asphalt remains to be completed. Staff has reviewed the public
improvement work to date, and upon completion of the aforementioned finish work, is
comfortable reducing the deposit by $1,200,000 to $596,250. This reduced amount will be
returned to the Developer upon final acceptance of the public improvements by the City,
although $89,813 will be retained as part of the one year warranty period.

as Document No. T05343991 in the office of the Hennepin County Registrar of Titles (the
“P.U.D. Development Agreement”), concerning the Subject Property legally described on
attached Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
In consideration of the mutual terms and conditions contained herein, the parties
hereby agree as follows:
1. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the P.U.D. Development Agreement.
2. Section 12.a. of the P.U.D. Development Agreement is revised in its entirety
to state as follows:
a. The Developer has previously submitted to the City a cash deposit
in the amount of $1,796,250 for the Public Improvements Constructed by
the Developer (“Security for Public Improvements Constructed by
Developer”). The amount of the Security for Public Improvements
Constructed by Developer shall be reduced by the amount of $1,200,000 to
the amount of $596,250, with the amount of $1,200,000 being released by
the City to Developer upon the issuance of a letter by the City’s Engineer
stating that the Public Improvements Constructed by the Developer , as a
whole, are completed or substantially completed. For purposes of this First
Amendment, “substantial completion” of the Public Improvements
constructed by Developer, as a whole, shall require, at a minimum, full
completion of each of the following: (i) all sanitary sewer castings must be
installed to final grade; (ii) all watermain valve stacks must be installed and
adjusted to final grade; and (iii) all concrete curb and gutter and asphalt
pavement must be completed on streets and driveways in which the Public

released by the City and repaid to the Developer upon completion of the
Improvements (as defined in the HRA Development Agreement) and upon
the issuance of the final Certificate of Completion (as defined in the HRA

$89,813.00 (“Retainage Amount”) will be retained for a warranty period
beginning upon issuance of the Certificate of Completion or the date of the
City’s final acceptance of the Public Improvements Constructed by
Developer, whichever is later, and ending one year later. Within thirty (30)
days after notice by Developer to the City of the conclusion of the one-year
warranty period, the City agrees to perform a warranty inspection of the
subject construction. Within ten days of such inspection, the City will
provide Developer with either a list of corrections or final release
documentation (provided by Developer) suitable for releasing the Retainage
Amount. If corrections are required and upon notice by Developer that the
corrections have been made, the City shall have an additional 20 days to
inspect the corrections and notify Developer of any deficiencies or release
the Retainage Amount to the Developer. The City shall treat any cash
deposit under this paragraph as a separate account on its books and the
deposited funds shall be held, at the City’s election, at the Minnesota
Municipal Money Market Fund or a depository institution selected by the
City in accordance with City policies and City Council resolution, in either
event in account or fund type(s) selected by the City. All account and fund
fees and charges shall be paid from the Security for Public Improvements
Constructed by Developer. All interest accrued on the Security for Public
Improvements Constructed by Developer shall be reported under
Developer’s tax identification number, shall be deemed part of the amount
of the Security for Public Improvements Constructed by Developer made
under this paragraph, and shall only be disbursed to the Developer upon
the Developer being entitled to a full release of the entire amount of the

in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms, conditions and
provisions of the P.U.D. Development Agreement and this First Amendment, the terms,
conditions and provisions of this First Amendment shall prevail. This First Amendment
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
