Chair Baker called the meeting to order at 7:03 pm. Those present were Planning Commissioners Black, Blum, Brookins, Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present were Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Blenker and Johnson were absent. 1.

Informal Public Hearing – Minor Subdivision – 1017 Ravine Trail – SU09-14 Applicant: Tom Hunt & Linda McCracken-Hunt Address: 1017 Ravine Trail Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Zimmerman referred to a map of the property and explained the applicants request to subdivide the lot at 1017 Ravine Trail into two new lots. The existing single family home Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 2 would remain and a second lot would be created to accommodate one new single family home. He explained that a subdivision for this lot was approved in 2008, but the plat was not recorded with the County at that time so they are starting the process again. Zimmerman referred to a survey of the property and noted that there are some topography concerns on the east side of the lot with a steep hill that could potentially cause some water issues with the proposed new lot. Zimmerman noted that the existing lot is 29,635 square feet in size. The lot to the north is proposed to be 17,884 square feet in size and the lot to the south is proposed to be 11,770 square feet in size. He added that each proposed new lot will meet all of the requirements of the Subdivision and Zoning Codes and staff is recommending approval of the proposed subdivision request. Segelbaum referred to the conditions for approval or denial listed in the staff report and asked if the only way a subdivision can be denied is if these conditions aren’t met. Zimmerman said yes and added that if the conditions are met, there is no basis for denial. Baker referred to the survey of the property and asked for further explanation of the concerns about water issues. Zimmerman said there aren’t any concerns about the subdivision proposal, staff just wants to make sure that in the future the builder of the new house will understand the conditions they will be working with in order to help direct water from the high slope on the east around the new house. Waldhauser asked if the City routinely asks for surveys to be expanded. Zimmerman said it depends on the property and that in this case staff would like to see the topographical information expanded to take the entire slope into consideration and understand how water runs off it. Blum referred to a past subdivision that also abuts the I-394 sound wall where the City asked for additional right-of-way for maintenance. He asked if this proposal is similar to the one they reviewed in the past. Zimmerman stated that there is enough right-of-way in this case to provide for MnDOT access and maintenance. Segelbaum asked if it would be appropriate to add a condition of approval which states that the subdivision is subject to the comments and requirements in the City Engineer’s memo. Zimmerman said yes and agreed that should be added as a condition of approval. Baker referred to a second driveway shown on the survey and asked if there used to be another house on this property. Linda McCracken-Hunt, Applicant, stated that her family has owned the property since 1965. She explained that the original house was a 1947 house and the second driveway used to be the only driveway until they remodeled the property in 1990 and built a new garage and driveway on the north side of the property. She stated the neighbor to the east used to have an in-ground pool which is now a rain garden and that both they and the neighbors have done some grading work so water run Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 3 off isn’t a problem now, but she understands that the owner of the proposed new house will have to take care of the water on their lot. Baker opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing. Waldhauser said this is a straightforward request that meets all of the requirements. Segelbaum agreed. MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed minor subdivision at 1017 Ravine Trail subject to the following conditions: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the Final Plat. 2. A park dedication fee of $11,010 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat. 3. A deferred special assessment of $4,800 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat. 4. The City Engineer’s memorandum, dated January 11, 2018, shall become part of this approval. 3. Informal Public Hearing – Zoning Code Text Amendment – Mixed Income Housing – ZO00-114 Applicant: City of Golden Valley Purpose: To consider the addition of Mixed Income Housing language to various sections of the Zoning Code Goellner stated that the City Council adopted the Mixed Income Housing Policy on September 19, 2017. She stated that staff intended to make the necessary changes to the Zoning Code as a part of the recodification process but that process has been delayed so staff has been directed to make the proposed Zoning Code amendments now. Goellner gave an overview of the policy and stated that it is meant to create more affordable housing in the City and is focused on new projects, not on existing affordable housing. She stated that certain housing projects of 10 or more units are subject to the requirements in the policy including for-sale condos, townhomes, large single family subdivisions, and rental projects with 10 or more units that receive certain zoning approvals. She noted that there is a distinction made between for-sale projects and rental projects because if the City required that all rental projects be subject to this policy it would be considered rent control which is not allowed by state statute. Baker asked what certain zoning approvals means in regard to rental properties. Goellner stated that a comp plan amendment, a zoning map amendment, a Conditional Use Permit, or a PUD are examples of zoning approvals. Baker asked if a rental project with 10 or Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 4 more units were proposed if the City could impose a zoning change to force the policy to be applied. Goellner said no, only a proposal that requires a zoning approval would be subject to the policy. Segelbaum asked what would happen if a condo building were switched to rental housing. Goellner said that would be a very rare occurrence and reiterated that this policy is focused on new housing developments. Zimmerman added that most housing projects will need planning approvals which will trigger the policy to be applied. Blum asked about the history of these proposed zoning code text amendments. He asked if there has been guidance from the City Council and if there has been Council consensus that has directed the Planning Commission to consider these text amendments. He said these changes seem to be the most extensive changes since the subdivision moratorium and that they seem to be happening exceptionally quickly. He said he thinks that the comprehensive and extensive nature of these text amendments merits a lot more examination. Baker asked Blum if he is asking about the genesis of the policy or the changes being made to reflect the policy. Segelbaum noted that the policy is already in place. Baker added that the Planning Commission is just considering the zoning code text amendments and not the policy itself. Blum said he has been to some of the meetings where the policy was discussed and he is challenged to find a substantial consensus that would make him feel clearly directed on ordinance changes so he would like some more information to clearly guide the Planning Commission. Goellner said it was the Council’s original intention that rezonings would be a reason for needing to follow this policy. She said the key reason is that when a developer wants to change the City’s vision the City wants to see some benefit for changing its vision. She added that the policy is a best practice that is used in several other cities to make sure there is affordable housing. Zimmerman added that there have been discussions about affordable housing going on for approximately two years and that the City had a study done on how to keep naturally occurring affordable housing and how to create new affordable housing and that the City Council wants to capture new units that are being constructed and making those affordable. Waldhauser said she believes the intent to include this policy has been there for many years there were just no numbers attached to it. Zimmerman agreed that affordable housing is one of the Council’s goals and that this policy will put some weight behind it and make it a requirement. Goellner stated that developers can opt into this policy if they choose and they can receive incentives if they opt in such as parking reductions, density bonuses, and fee waivers on a project by project basis. Goellner referred to the affordability requirements and explained that in for-sale projects (condos and townhomes) 10% of the units must be affordable to households earning 80% AMI. For rental projects (apartments) 15% of the units must be affordable to households earning 60% AMI or 10% of the units must be affordable to households earning 50% AMI. She added that the affordability term is at least 20 years from the time the building opens. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 5 Goellner explained that AMI is the Area Median Income determined by HUD with Census data and that a family of four in the metro area at 100% AMI earns $85,800. A family of four in the metro area at 60% AMI earns $51,480 so a three-bedroom apartment in this policy would cost a family between $1,158-$1,493 per month rather than $1,930-$2,488 or more. Goellner stated that other features of the policy include: each phase in a multi-phased development must meet the requirements, affordable and market rate units must be built at same time, the size and design of affordable units must be consistent, comparable, look the same from the exterior, and distributed throughout building (not separated), If a tenant’s income increases, they may stay in unit as long as income doesn’t exceed 120% AMI, the developer may dedicate existing NOAH units instead of building new units, and a landlord cannot turn away a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holder from renting solely based on that income source. Goellner stated that the necessary Zoning Code changes include adding the words “compliance with the Mixed-Income Housing Policy” to each permitted and conditional use listed in the R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 zoning districts. The CUP section of Code will require compliance with the policy as a factor of evaluation and approval, the PUD section of Code will require compliance with the policy and would remove affordable housing from the amenity points table, and the Administrative section of Code will require compliance with the policy for Zoning Map amendments and Comprehensive Plan amendments. Segelbaum said it makes sense that PUDs shouldn’t get credit twice for providing affordable units but if a developer goes above and beyond that they should get the extra points from the amenity points table. Goellner agreed the affordable housing amenity points could stay in the PUD section of Code if the developer goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of the policy. Segelbaum asked how the City is working on preserving existing affordable housing units. Goellner stated that there are ten multi-family properties in the City that are charging affordable rents ranging from $800 to $1,200 per month. These ten properties are at risk of being sold to a new owner and the rents could rise given the current market conditions. She said the focus has been on these ten properties and creating policies to help preserve these units and keep the rents affordable. Segelbaum asked if these new policies will be added to the Zoning Code. Goellner stated that they will likely be policies and not Zoning Code changes because the City has to use incentives, not requirements because of the rent control laws. Brookins asked if restrictive covenants will be used to enforce the requirement regarding the 20 year affordability term. Goellner said yes. Blum asked if the conversation in its entirety is closed and complete and the Planning Commission has been directed to approve the zoning text amendments, or if it is an on- going conversation and the City is just testing whether or not this is a good time to look at what has already been discussed. Goellner reiterated that the policy has been approved Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 6 by the City Council and they are supportive of adding language to the Zoning Code supporting the policy. Baker opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing. Blum said he wants to be cautious and consider the entire picture because he is concerned about creating concentrations of poverty or ghettos when cities try to create low income housing. Baker stated that the subject of this public hearing is to make a recommendation on the zoning text amendments which implies that the Council has made the decision to do this and the Planning Commission is doing administrative work. Waldhauser referred to the incentives for developers listed in the policy where it states that if they are willing to reduce the required parking by 33% or a 10% increase in density. Black asked if a larger increase in density could be offered. Waldhauser questioned if the City needs to offer that big of a parking reduction. Goellner stated that the reduction is so large in order to offset the high cost to build parking and that there are probably limited places where that incentive would work. Baker asked if the same incentives are used in other cities. Goellner said yes. Baker referred to Segelbaum’s comment about the PUD amenity points regarding affordable housing and said he would like the existing language to remain in the Code. Black asked if an applicant receives 120% of AMI would they lose their apartment. Goellner said they would have to switch units in order to keep the affordable unit available to income qualified individuals. Segelbaum stated that there is a lot of City oversite with this policy and asked if it will be overbearing. Goellner said it is necessary in order to be effective. She noted that the City will hire someone to do the reporting and charge the developer for that work. Segelbaum said he supports these proposed text amendments and that he is anxious to see what the City comes up with for preserving existing affordable housing. Baker and Waldhauser agreed. Blum said he thinks the proposed text amendments are appropriate and reasonable. MOVED by Blum, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Code text amendments and to keep the PUD amenity points regarding affordable housing in the Zoning Code. --Short Recess-- 4. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings No reports were given. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 7 5. Other Business • Comp Plan Discussion – Land Use and Transportation Zimmerman introduced the Land Use plan and summarized the comments he had received to date, including asking for stronger language in some areas and better addressing opportunities for green infrastructure. He discussed the tables showing the anticipated redevelopment areas in 10 year periods and explained that this was a Metropolitan Council requirement that helped them ensure their regional systems were ready to handle new development. Baker commented that this background helped him better understand why these tables were included and asked that some text be added to provide this for the casual reader. He also asked staff to address different units of measurement between the existing and future scenarios. Segelbaum stated that he was looking for more distinction between the neighborhood and community scale mixed-use nodes that were indicated in the plan. Zimmerman pointed to the descriptions of the land uses for some clarification. Baker suggested adding language to help distinguish between the two types. Baker requested a new chart be added to show the amount of change between the land uses on the existing and future land use maps. Waldhauser questioned why the descriptions of the mixed use sites didn’t call for more vertically mixed uses, since these projects seemed to be happening elsewhere in the region. She specifically pointed to the northwest quadrant of Hwy 55 and Douglas Drive, where there could be an opportunity to build housing over retail or office. Zimmerman pointed out that financing of vertical mixed use projects is difficult and that while the City wants to encourage them, requiring them may result it little redevelopment occurring. Blum asked if some of the objectives could be modified to better capture topics that he felt had been discussed over the past few years. He was thinking of the desire to use site design standards to encourage pedestrian friendly redevelopment in places like the Hwy 55 West area. Zimmerman agreed and said that many of those standards would be included in the new mixed use zoning that would be put in place after the new land uses were adopted, but that he would add language to the objectives to reflect that. Discussing the section on subdivisions, Blum wondered if the language talking about the increase in new housing through subdivisions was accurate given how much of Golden Valley was developed. Zimmerman pointed out that while most of the city’s residential growth would happen in multi-family buildings, that would need to be discussed elsewhere as the Metropolitan Council requires a discussion of subdivision controls in the Comp Plan. He said he would modify the text to reflect this. Blum also asked about the possibility of expanding the types of fees collected through development in order to create a “green infrastructure fund” that would allow the City to Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 8 do more in this area. Baker stated that this would increase costs, but in order to achieve what seems to be priority for residents, there would have to be some sacrifices. • Comp Plan Work Session – Transportation Goellner introduced the Transportation plan and noted that positive feedback was received about the sections on Bus Rapid Transit on Hwy 55, green infrastructure, improvements that support the crossing of Hwy 55, investigation of a local circulator, preparing for autonomous vehicles, and traffic calming. She noted that about half of the comments received so far were in the form of questions, which demonstrates the technical nature of this Chapter and the need for the Communications staff to add explanations, reduce jargon, and simplify language. Baker asked about Figure 4.3, which shows future levels of congestion, and wondered why there was no impact on Golden Valley Road from the construction of the light rail station. Goellner replied that the anticipated levels of traffic generated by light rail were not expected to negatively impact congestion levels. Baker also commented that Figure 4.4, safety analysis, had a lot of great information on it but was a little hard to read. Referring to the section on new technologies, Baker asked why there were no recommended actions around autonomous vehicles or drones. Goellner replied that there were still too many unknowns, but that staff would continue to monitor any developments and that MnDOT had many people working on these topics. Baker also mentioned that it felt odd to have a section on telecommunication in the transportation chapter. Goellner replied that this was due to the fact that a lot telecommunication equipment is or might be located in rights-of-way. Blum suggested looking at a recently adopted ordinance from Chicago to see what was being done around drone regulation. Segelbaum noted that the policy plan should encourage further research and that the City’s long-term goal should be to avoid nuisances associated with this technology. Waldhauser recommended than an emphasis of the plan should be to support transit outside of Golden Valley in order to reduce the impact of traffic that passes through the city on a daily basis. Goellner added that new information about the Infrastructure Renewal Program would be available later this year as the transition from pavement management begins, and that additional explanation could be included in the document. • Council Liaison Report Council Member Schmidgall stated that Byerlys is having a customer appreciation day to celebrate 50 years in Golden Valley. He also reported that the City Council approved an ordinance to amend the peddler and solicitor rules to state that people campaigning for office are not considered to be peddlers or solicitors.

Approval of Regular Meeting Minutes MOVED by Gitelis, SECONDED by Galonska, and the motion carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the October 23, 2017 regular meeting as amended to include Joe Ramlet under “Commissioners Present”. Natural Resources Management Plan This plan is being incorporated into the Parks and Natural Resources chapter of the 2040 comprehensive plan update. Eckman led the review and provided a progress update on the plan’s implementation matrix for natural and constructed improvements within nature areas. The following items were specifically discussed by the Commission: • The Commission agreed to keep the first action listed under General Natural Resource Improvements (Address Encroachment through education, identification, and boundary demarcation) as a high priority and to address the encroachment issue now rather than later. • It was decided to remove the action item “Install tunnel under the Union Pacific railroad tracks” since it is not a part of the bike/pedestrian plan recommended by the task force. • Also to remove, “Install canoe access for recreational use of the ponds” from all stormwater ponds in the City. The stormwater ponds typically have lower water quality then natural receiving waters and are not listed as priority 1 water bodies by the Basset Creek Watershed Management Commission. • The Commission suggested that new pet waste disposal systems could be maintained/emptied by volunteers who Adopt-a-Trail or Adopt-a-Park. MOVED by Stremel, SECONDED by Galonska, and the motion carried unanimously to modify the Natural Resources Management Plan by removing the following action items from the matrix: Install tunnel under the UP RR tracks and install canoe access for recreational use on ponds. 2018 Environmental Commission Budget Ideas The City Council has included $3,500 in the proposed 2018-2019 budget for Environmental Commission meetings and educational events. Ideas on ways to use these funds were discussed and included the following: • The meeting/event would need to take place in Golden Valley or in a nearby city at a city-sponsored event (like Home Remodeling Fair) • An informational booth could be set up at an existing event Minutes of the Environmental Commission November 27, 2017 Page 2 of 2 o Existing events include Home Remodeling Fair; Golden Valley Art and Music Festival; Farmers Market • Experts/guest speakers could be brought in to speak or provide hands on demonstrations o Demonstrations could take place on a site within the community  Example: Buckthorn removal o Could use classroom setting, like community ed classes o Speakers/experts could include Organic Bob, U of MN Compost/Recycle expert, Hennepin County Recycling expert, other U of MN educators, staff from Center for Energy and Environment o Staff to research costs to set up a class at the new Brookview • Provide local nature area tours • Offer help to homeowners on how to manage their home and yard more effectively and efficiently GreenStep Cities – Step 4 core topic areas Eckman presented the results of the Step 4 Open Space, Parks, and Trees core topic area and discussed which metrics are eligible for Step 5.

Receive Presentation on Harrison Neighborhood Project [Metro Blooms staff arrived later; the item was covered after 5B.] B. Review and Consider Approval of AIS Rapid Response Plan Commission Engineer Chandler gave a PowerPoint overview of the AIS rapid response plan. She noted that at the meeting in September 2017, the Commission approved a proposal from the Commission Engineer to develop an AIS Rapid Response Plan (one of the recommendations of the APM/AIS Committee). The draft plan includes the recommended actions and the partner roles if AIS are discovered in Medicine, Parkers, Sweeney, Twin, Northwood, Westwood, and Wirth Lakes (BCWMC Priority 1 lakes). BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 8 Engineer Chandler noted 12 activities in an overall framework as detailed below. She reported that Meg Rattei performed several phone interviews with partners and member cities to gather information on roles they would take and activities they would perform. Engineer Chandler walked through the role of the BCWMC and various stakeholders for each lake for these activities: 1. Contact Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) AIS coordinator to report possible introduction of AIS. MnDNR staff will verify the AIS infestation. 2. Communicate the AIS infestation to stakeholders, lake groups, and the general public. 3. Perform monitoring or hire contractor to perform monitoring to define the extent of the AIS infestation. 4. Determine whether quarantine of the infestation is necessary for containment and effective treatment and, if so, quarantine the AIS infestation. 5. Collaborate with MnDNR, Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC), and stakeholders to determine appropriate rapid response treatment/removal (e.g., chemical treatment or manual removal of AIS) and associated costs. 6. Work with MnDNR to obtain treatment/removal permit 7. Perform additional pre-treatment monitoring, if required by MnDNR permit. 8. Hire contractor to complete AIS rapid response treatment/removal (e.g., chemical treatment or manual removal of AIS). 9. Fund the AIS treatment/removal. 10. Perform, or hire contractor to perform, post-treatment monitoring to determine treatment/removal effectiveness. 11. Communicate information about the AIS treatment/removal and results of AIS treatment/removal efforts to stakeholders, lake groups, and the general public. 12. Design and implement education program to help prevent future AIS infestations. [Commissioner Prom arrives.] There was a discussion about the past role of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board in AIS. Ms. Rattei noted that MPRB staff are not certain how the new Board will approach AIS. She noted that for now, the BCWMC will take the lead role for lakes in MPRB properties unless the Park Board wishes to take the lead. It was noted roles could be revised in the future. The three AIS species covered in the rapid response plan are Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels, and starry stonewort. These are considered the key AIS species because of their high risk of spreading to uninfested . Eurasian watermilfoil is currently present in Medicine Lake, Parkers Lake, and Wirth Lake, but not in the remaining four Priority 1 lakes. Zebra mussels are currently present in Medicine Lake, but not in the remaining six Priority 1 lakes. Although not present in BCWMC waterbodies, starry stonewort is currently present in 11 Minnesota lakes and has spread quickly during the two years since its first Minnesota sighting in Lake Koronis (Stearns County, MN). The detailed rapid response plan will help the BCWMC, cities, and other organizations to be poised to respond to an infestation efficiently and effectively. The plan could evolve as more or different treatments are researched and permitted. Commissioner Welch mentioned that initially the 12 steps seem like too many for a rapid response, but he doesn’t see a step that could or should be skipped to make it go faster. He wondered if it might be possible for the MnDNR to issue a general permit. Ms. Rattei replied that the MnDNR has not been asked that question, but has made it very clear that they would consider treatment on a case-by-case basis only after completion of a detailed survey of the extent of the infestation for zebra mussels and starry stonewort. A permit for the Eurasian watermilfoil treatment would be easier to obtain. She noted that the MnDNR is also very concerned with BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 8 communication to the stakeholders about the AIS and their treatments and the MnDNR is conservative with permits. There was consensus that the rapid response plan, if approved, would give the BCWMC Administrator broad authority to mobilize contractors and staff as needed to address issues, without waiting for approval at a Commission meeting. TAC member Derek Asche commented that he thought the plan looked good and fills a gap, but he wondered how the lake associations and lake groups could be involved, as lake residents are the primary beneficiaries to controlling AIS. Mr. Asche also advocated to negotiate with the MnDNR to receive a general permit. Engineer Chandler responded that lake groups are a different kind of partner, because they are volunteers. They may not always able to carry out the work on short notice. Ms. Rattei noted that based on her interviews with city staff, the city staff wanted to take the lead on coordinating with lake groups because they are often in contact with lake groups. Commissioner Carlson added that AMLAC’s response to the zebra mussel issue in Medicine Lake was that they didn’t have time or funding to help. Mr. Asche maintained that the residents around Medicine Lake and AMLAC should be a stronger partner. He noted that the problem is so great that it would be beneficial to empower the lake residents to take ownership. Alternate Commissioner McDonald Black said the Sweeney Lake Association has been strong and consistent and could offer real assistance. Commissioner Welch commented that it doesn’t make sense to have rigid lines for how lake associations are to be involved. He noted cities could then utilize the capabilities of lake groups, as appropriate at the time. Administrator Jester noted that another approved APM/AIS Committee recommendation was to convene the various lake groups to inform and discuss with them the options for more formal organization. She noted that later in the agenda the Commission will consider a proposal from the Freshwater Society to facilitate that discussion. MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve the BCWMC AIS Rapid Response Plan with direction to staff to seek opportunities to amend the plan with more formal and specific roles for lake associations. Commissioner Prom seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] A. Receive Presentation on Harrison Neighborhood Project Laura Scholl and Kim Carpenter with Metro Blooms gave a PowerPoint presentation with an update on the Harrison Neighborhood Project that BCWMC supported. Ms. Carpenter reported on the success of the project noting that 7 block captains were recruited and 37 boulevard swales were installed in the first year. She also reported on the training program that was developed specifically for this project to train and engage city youth crews to plant and maintain the swales. She noted that the Metropolitan Council Stormwater Grant funding (received through the BCWMC) was supposed to last two years, but there were so many interested residents in the first year, the grant funding is nearly all spent and they are looking for additional grantors. Minneapolis TAC member, Liz Stout, commented that additional funding to implement the Blooming Boulevards Project city-wide is being pursued. Commissioner Harwell wondered if the plants that were selected for the boulevard swale plantings were salt resistant. Ms. Scholl responded that the chosen plants are hardy and have done well in difficult alleyway plantings. BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 8 Ms. Carpenter also reported on a different phase of the Harrison Neighborhood Project to engage commercial properties in installing stormwater best management practices, funded through a BWSR Clean Water Fund Community Partners Grant (received pass-through funds from BCWMC). She noted this project got underway last summer and will continue throughout 2018. Commissioner Welch added that a “low salt message” should be emphasized as commercial businesses are being approached. Ms. Kim Carpenter reported that the Glenwood Revitalization Team is being engaged. Commissioner Welch further added that the Redevelopment Oversight Committee would also be good to engage. Commissioner Prom complimented Metro Blooms on great work and asked who is maintaining the boulevards? Ms. Scholl told the Commission that homeowners signed a 10-year maintenance agreement. Commissioner Fruen asked about the young people doing the work and whether they were being paid. Ms. Carpenter replied that the youth were from the “Step Up Program” and that it is a paid nine-week program. She noted a local contractor, NEON, was also employed. C. Medicine Lake Items i. Receive Update on Zebra Mussels and Review Draft Grant Application Administrator Jester noted that at their December meeting the Commission directed her to work with Three Rivers Park District, the MnDNR and others to plan for a zebra mussel survey in the spring and consider submitting an AIS Prevention Grant application to Hennepin County. Administrator Jester gave an overview of the AIS grant application, which requests funding to purchase a decontamination unit for use in French Regional Park on Medicine Lake. She noted that the grant application does not include match funding from the BCWMC but that it may be warranted to help fund the Level II inspectors needed to operate the decontamination unit if the grant is awarded. She also noted that partners will meet soon to discuss the zebra mussel survey. There was some discussion of lake access, timing of inspections, and when the boat launch is open and closed. Commissioner Carlson noted the Medicine Lake City Council wanted more control of the access. ii. Consider Directing Staff to Apply for MnDNR Permit to Treat Curly-leaf Pondweed and Seek Contractors to Perform Treatment Administrator Jester reminded the Commission that at their meeting in January of 2017, the Commission approved a recommendation from the APM/AIS Committee that the Commission perform herbicide spot treatments of aquatic invasive plants where the following conditions are met: 1) treatment of the plant is considered a management tool for improving water or habitat quality according to an approved management plan such as a TMDL; and 2) another entity or organization is sharing the cost of the treatment. The Commission treated curly-leaf pondweed in Medicine Lake in 2017 with financial and field support from Three Rivers Park District. She noted staff is seeking approval to begin plans for a similar treatment in 2018 including seeking a MnDNR permit, gathering quotes from contractors, and preparing an agreement with TRPD. MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve up to $25,000 to treat curly-leaf pondweed in Medicine Lake, work with Three Rivers Park District and seek a MnDNR permit. Commissioner Prom seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 8 iii. Review Existing Data on Common Carp in Medicine Lake Commission Engineer Chandler reported that at the October 2017 Commission meeting, the Commission directed staff to gather and review existing data on carp populations in Medicine Lake (rather than waiting until routine monitoring in 2019). Engineer Chandler reviewed the carp data, noting that according to MnDNR survey, carp populations have declined significantly. She noted there are no staff recommendations at this time, although staff may suggest the Commission consider performing a carp-specific survey as part of the 2019 Medicine Lake monitoring. D. Review Draft Scope of Work for FEMA Modeling Project Commission Engineer Chandler noted that at their meeting in October 2017, the Commission approved a TAC recommendation “that the Commission direct the Commission Engineer to develop a scope and budget for completing the tasks laid out for the FEMA modeling work and to submit that scope and budget to the MnDNR to seek FEMA grant funds to complete the work.” She gave a brief overview of the scope recently submitted to the MnDNR, noting that there were significant discussions with the MnDNR about the appropriate scope and budget and about the large amount of survey data needed for the project. She reported that ultimately, the MnDNR agreed to perform the survey work. She reminded the Commission that the goal of the project is to have the new model be the official FEMA model. She also noted the entire scope is to be funded by a grant from the MnDNR (pass-through grant funding from FEMA). She noted the final scope is expected to be approved by the MnDNR soon. She noted that upon approval of the work scope, the MnDNR will provide an agreement for Commission consideration and approval, expected at the February meeting. There was some discussion about tasks and details. Engineer Chandler noted the information and maps will be available to the cities when the model is complete. E. Consider Approval of Resolution Authorizing Consideration of Accepting Grant from MnDNR Administrator Jester noted that in order to receive a grant from the MnDNR for the work contained in the scope in 5D above, the Commission must approve the attached resolution provided by the MnDNR. MOTION: Commissioner Prom moved to approve the resolution accepting a grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for improved flood risk mapping. Alternate Commissioner Crough seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Minnetonka and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] F. Receive Update on BWSR’s Watershed Based Funding Pilot Program and Direct Staff to Continue Meetings and Discussions Administrator Jester reported that she recently attended a meeting regarding this issue and gained more clarity about BWSR’s plans for Clean Water Funds to move from a competitive grant process to more stable funding allocations. She briefly described the new watershed funding policy, noting that both watershed organizations and cities are eligible for the funds. BWSR allocated approximately $1M in Clean Water Funds for the current biennium to eligible entities in Hennepin County (11 watersheds and 45 cities). She reported that the entities have two options: 1) collaborate on a plan to use the funding, including implementing a prioritization process and developing a workplan and budget; or 2) compete for the county funds through a competitive grant process. She noted the collaborative plan would need to be complete by June 30th of this year, which is likely too tall an order given the number of entities involved. She reported that Hennepin County staff are convening a meeting on January 23rd with Hennepin County watershed administrators and BWSR staff. She asked if Commissioners felt strongly about either option and requested to be given direction to stay at the table in discussions. Administrator Jester noted there are statewide Clean Water Funds that may also be accessible through a competitive process BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 8 but that isn’t known for sure. She noted that the amount available for statewide competitive grants will decrease overtime while more stable (watershed-based) funding amounts will increase. MOTION: Commissioner Carlson moved to direct staff to attend the initial meeting of the watershed organizations of Hennepin County and continue discussions to develop recommended approach to new funding policy. Commissioner Welch seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] [Commissioner Harwell departs.] G. Discuss Proposal from Freshwater Society for Lake Group Meeting Facilitation Administrator Jester noted that at their meeting in October 2017, the Commission approved a recommendation from the APM/AIS Committee that the Commission “convene a meeting of lake groups and other interested groups/individuals in the BCWMC and request a presentation from the DNR and other experts to learn about lake improvement districts vs. lake associations and other less formal lake groups.” She reported that the Freshwater Society (a non-profit organization that promotes the conservation, protection and restoration of all freshwater resources) has facilitated these types of discussions with lake groups in other areas of the Metro and out-state. Administrator Jester recommended approving Freshwater Society’s proposal to facilitate one meeting with lake groups for $2,000 with funds from the 2018 AIS budget. MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to have Administrator Jester engage with Freshwater Society (FWS) for a single meeting and authorize the Administrator to execute a contract with FWS for this meeting not to exceed $2000; and to make a recommendation at a future Commission meeting for further engagement of FWS to do lake association support work with a more detailed proposed scope of work, if needed. Commissioner Carlson seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] H. Consider Authorization to Increase Schaper Pond Effectiveness Monitoring Budget Commission Engineer Chandler noted that at their meeting in August 2016, the Commission approved a Budget Committee recommendation that the Schaper Pond Effectiveness Monitoring budget of $44,000 be paid with remaining funds from the Schaper Pond Diversion CIP Project. She reported that as part of the monitoring, the Commission Engineer encountered additional, unanticipated expenses totaling $3,500. Engineer Chandler reviewed these expenses including monitoring equipment set up and additional monitoring to better understand high phosphorus concentrations. She requested increasing the monitoring budget to $47,500. MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approved an additional $3,500 for the Schaper Pond Effectiveness Monitoring Project. Alternate Commissioner McDonald Black seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale were absent from the vote.] 6. COMMUNICATIONS A. Administrator Administrator Jester noted the new CIP update table available online and reported that any next steps resulting from staff evaluations will be brought to a future meeting. B. Chair Chair de Lambert thanked the City of Plymouth for housing BCWMC’s documents for many years and thanked the City of Crystal for document storage for the foreseeable future. He also reminded Commissioners that next month is a business meeting where officer elections and committee assignments will be made. BCWMC January 18, 2018 Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 8 C. Commissioners Commissioner Welch reported that the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts made chloride limited liability legislation a priority for this legislative session. He noted that if it gets introduced, the Commission should support it. He asked that the Administrator work with legal counsel and have this as a future agenda item. D. TAC Members Nothing to report. E. Committees Nothing to report. F. Legal Counsel Nothing to report. G. Engineer Engineer Chandler noted that as a follow up from the zebra mussel survey discussion, it isn’t appropriate to perform phytoplankton and zooplankton surveys in Medicine Lake at the same time as zebra mussel surveys because the zebra mussel survey will not include phytoplankton and zooplankton surveys and the timing is not right. 7.

D. 1. Approve Emergency Purchase of a Police Interceptor Prepared By Jason Sturgis, Police Chief Tim Kieffer, Public Works Maintenance Manager Marshall Beugen, Street and Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor Summary The Police Department is requesting an emergency purchase of a marked police interceptor. The Department is down to five squads versus the ten squads that should be in service. Nelson Auto Center had two vehicles on their lot. The State Bid was with Hibbing Ford and would not have a vehicle ready for some time due to the many orders from various police departments including us. Approval of the resolution allows us to follow proper procedures when an emergency purchase is needed. The police department felt that the needs of the department were dire not to have the needed vehicles on the road. Monies from the DUI fund would be transferred to the Equipment Replacement Fund to make this purchase.

Executive Summary For Action Golden Valley City Council Meeting March 6, 2018 Agenda Item 3. E. 3. Approve Expenditure for Change Order for the Brookview Project Prepared By Rick Birno, Director of Parks and Recreation Summary Project change order requests become necessary throughout a project when unforeseen issues are presented during the construction process. Two change order requests have been submitted: 1. The base materials below the turf of the Lawn Bowling Green are a significant investment and therefore staff opted to relocate all the base material during construction. Kevitt Excavating provided removal, storage and returned all the material to the new Lawn Bowling Green location. The decision to save the base mixture and return it to the site was an approximate savings of over $60,000 to the Brookview project. The total expense for removal, storage and return of the base material is $8,045.86. 2. During the construction of the outdoor main stairway to the upper level of Brookview, the construction management team from Adolfson & Peterson recommended using Kevitt Excavating to install a stair footing trench box due to the unstable Brookview ground materials. The stair footing trench box will ensure the soft soils will not have an impact on the stairway during the seasonal freeze and thaw cycles. The total expense for the stair footing trench box is $14,993. Recommended change orders/improvements are reviewed and approved by the project architect, construction management team and staff. Staff is recommending approval of both change orders and payment utilizing the project contingency fund which is estimated at $150,000. Recommended Action Motion authorizing approval and payment to Kevitt Excavation for materials relocation and stair footing trench for $23,038.86.

Final Amendment to Agreement for Construction Services, Liberty Crossing Flood Mitigation Project #15-16 Prepared By Jeff Oliver PE, City Engineer R.J. Kakach, PE, Assistant City Engineer Summary At the March 21, 2017, Council meeting, the Council approved an amendment to the existing professional services agreement with Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc., (SEH) for design and construction services on the Liberty Crossing Flood Mitigation Project with a not to exceed amount of $272,505.16. These services included the design of roadway and public utility portions of the project as well as construction observation and staking of the entire project. The previous amendment presumed that the flood mitigation and public utility construction would be completed by July; however this was not completed until December of 2017. A major reason for the delay was due to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) sanitary sewer forcemain that was being relocated. The project encountered unsuitable soils for pipe bedding. The MCES began work in May and was not completed until August. An unforeseen subgrade issue resulted in a portion of the MCES work being redesigned with helical piles. MCES agreed to pay for the additional costs and inspections with the change; however this work resulted in the prime contractor for the project relocating to a different project during this period. The prime contractor was then obligated to complete the other project before returning to finish the Liberty Crossing project. Another reason for the delay was with the public utility construction by the developer, which was scheduled to begin in April and actually began in August of 2017. These utilities were completed in December. The lengthened project schedule led to additional inspection and survey costs on the project. Based upon the above, SEH has requested an additional $28,751 to complete construction observation and the staking portion of the contract. The amended professional services agreement would be amended to a not to exceed amount of $301,256. Staff has reviewed the request to amend the existing professional services agreement and find the request to be reasonable and appropriate. Funds exist within the project budget to cover this expense. Staff is recommending approval of this amendment.

Background The construction services portion of our contract had anticipated a much different schedule and timing between the flood mitigation/public roadway and utility project and the public utility improvements that were completed by the developer,then what really occurred. The delay in the start of the project and other delays and changes during construction timing has caused our time on the project to exceed the estimated budget anticipated last March.We had estimated that the work in 2017 would begin as early as April and be finished by July. The work on the flood mitigation/public roadway and utility project started in March and was just completed in December. We also expect to have very minor clean up and paper work next spring. The work on the northerly public utilities being constructed by the developer did not start until August of 2017 and is now substantially complete, with minor clean up and.paperwork next spring. Summary SEH has a total overage of$26,951 for work spent since August,when our budget ran out of funds. For the minor clean up and paper work that remains in the spring, we expect another$1800. The total amendment requested for the construction services portion of the project is $28,751, which will bring our total construction budget to $127,351 and then the total project budget including design and construction to $301,256. The breakdown between the public utility work completed by the developer(task 2)and the flood mitigation/public street and utility work(task 3), is detailed below and on the attached detail spreadsheet: Task 2 Construction Services-$11,738.45 Task 3 Construction Services-$115,612.28 Engineers I Architects I Planners I Scientists Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.,717 Third Avenue SE,Suite 101,Rochester,MPJ 55904-7373 SEH is 100%employee-owned I sehinc.com 1 507.288.6464 1 800.325.2055 1 888.908.8166 fax Mr. Jeff Oliver February 5, 2018 Page 2 This request for an amendment to our original Letter Agreement shall be the basis of work by SEH on the project described in this letter.

A. Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval - 1017 Ravine Trail Prepared By Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Summary Tom Hunt and Linda McCracken-Hunt, represented by David Knaeble, are proposing to subdivide the property located at 1017 Ravine Trail into two lots. There is one existing single family home on this lot, which would remain, and a new lot would be created for a potential second home. The subject property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and is guided for Low Density Residential use in the Comprehensive Plan. It fronts on Ravine Trail to the west and is located just north of I-394 to the south. Changes to the minimum lot area requirement of the Subdivision Code made in 2015 require a calculation of the average lot size of all residential lots within 250 feet of the subject property in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District. If the average is greater than 18,000 square feet, the new required minimum lot size becomes 15,000 square feet. If the average is less than 18,000 square feet, the required minimum lot size remains at 10,000 square feet. For 1017 Ravine Trail, the average size of the lots within 250 feet is approximately 15,530 square feet. Therefore, the minimum lot size of each new lot is 10,000 square feet. The proposed Lot 1, the northern lot, would be 17,884 square feet and the proposed Lot 2, the southern lot, would be 11,770 square feet. City Code also requires that each lot have a minimum of 80 feet of width at the front setback line and maintain 80 feet of width to a depth of 70 feet. Both lots would have over 100 feet of width at the 35-foot setback line and would maintain sufficient width 70 feet back from the front lot line. The dimensions of both of the newly created lots provide a sufficient building envelope for development. This property was approved by the City for a similar subdivision in 2008 but the process was not completed and a Final Plat was never recorded. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval (5-0) at its meeting on January 22, 2018. No residents spoke at the informal public hearing.

Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 1017 Ravine Trail — SU09-14 Applicant: Tom Hunt & Linda McCracken-Hunt Address: 1017 Ravine Trail Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 2 Zimmerman referred to a map of the property and explained the applicants request to subdivide the lot at 1017 Ravine Trail into two new lots. The existing single family home would remain and a second lot would be created to accommodate one new single family home. He explained that a subdivision for this lot was approved in 2008, but the plat was not recorded with the County at that time so they are starting the process again. Zimmerman referred to a survey of the property and noted that there are some topography concerns on the east side of the lot with a steep hill that could potentially cause some water issues with the proposed new lot. Zimmerman noted that the existing lot is 29,635 square feet in size. The lot to the north is proposed to be 17,884 square feet in size and the lot to the south is proposed to be 11,770 square feet in size. He added that each proposed new lot will meet all of the requirements of the Subdivision and Zoning Codes and staff is recommending approval of the proposed subdivision request. Segelbaum referred to the conditions for approval or denial listed in the staff report and asked if the only way a subdivision can be denied is if these conditions aren't met. Zimmerman said yes and added that if the conditions are met, there is no basis for denial. Baker referred to the survey of the property and asked for further explanation of the concerns about water issues. Zimmerman said there aren't any concerns about the subdivision proposal, staff just wants to make sure that in the future the builder of the new house will understand the conditions they will be working with in order to help direct water from the high slope on the east around the new house. Waldhauser asked if the City routinely asks for surveys to be expanded. Zimmerman said it depends on the property and that in this case staff would like to see the topographical information expanded to take the entire slope into consideration and understand how water runs off it. Blum referred to a past subdivision that also abuts the 1-394 sound wall where the City asked for additional right-of-way for maintenance. He asked if this proposal is similar to the one they reviewed in the past. Zimmerman stated that there is enough right-of-way in this case to provide for MnDOT access and maintenance. Segelbaum asked if it would be appropriate to add a condition of approval which states that the subdivision is subject to the comments and requirements in the City Engineer's memo. Zimmerman said yes and agreed that should be added as a condition of approval. Baker referred to a second driveway shown on the survey and asked if there used to be another house on this property. Linda McCracken-Hunt, Applicant, stated that her family has owned the property since 1965. She explained that the original house was a 1947 house and the second driveway used to be the only driveway until they remodeled the property in 1990 and built a new garage and driveway on the north side of the property. She stated the neighbor to the east used to have an in-ground pool which is now a rain Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 3 garden and that both they and the neighbors have done some grading work so water run off isn't a problem now, but she understands that the owner of the proposed new house will have to take care of the water on their lot. Baker opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing. Waldhauser said this is a straightforward request that meets all of the requirements. Segelbaum agreed. MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed minor subdivision at 1017 Ravine Trail subject to the following conditions: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the Final Plat. 2. A park dedication fee of $11,010 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat. 3. A deferred special assessment of $4,800 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat. 4. The City Engineer's memorandum, dated January 11, 2018, shall become part of this approval.

There is one existing single family home on this lot, which would remain, and a new lot would be created for a potential second home. Changes to the minimum lot area requirement of the Subdivision Code made in 2015 require a calculation of the average lot size of all residential lots within 250 feet of the subject property in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District. If the average is greater than 18,000 square feet, the new required minimum lot size becomes 15,000 square feet. If the average is less than 18,000 square feet, the required minimum lot size remains at 10,000 square feet. For 1017 Ravine Trail, the average size of the lots within 250 feet is approximately 15,530 square feet. Therefore, the minimum lot size of each new lot is 10,000 square feet. The existing lot is 29,635 square feet. The proposed Lot 1, the northern lot, would be 17,884 square feet and the proposed Lot 2, the southern lot, would be 11,770 square feet. City Code also requires that each lot have a minimum of 80 feet of width at the front setback line and maintain 80 feet of width for 70 feet of depth. Both lots would have over 100 feet of width at the 35-foot setback point and maintain sufficient width 70 feet back from the lot line. The dimensions of both of the newly created lots provide a sufficient building envelope for development. This property was approved by the City for a similar subdivision in 2008 but the process was not completed and a final plat was never recorded. It is noted that the applicant sent a mailing to the neighborhood regarding the proposed subdivision. Staff did not receive any comments. 1 Staff Review The proposed two-lot subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property located at 1017 Ravine Trail is an existing platted lot of record, the proposed subdivision will produce fewer than four lots, and it will not create the need for public improvements. The applicant has submitted a survey of the existing lot prior to the proposed subdivision, as well as a preliminary plat displaying the two lots after the subdivision. Both lots would have access off Ravine Trail. The existing home has two curb cuts—one of these would be maintained for access to the existing home while the other would be repurposed to serve the new south lot. The one existing sanitary sewer service is non-compliant with the City's Inflow and Infiltration requirements, but a deposit agreement has been executed guaranteeing that the necessary repairs will be made. At the completion of construction of the second home, the new service line will be inspected to ensure it is also compliant. As required by the Subdivision Code, a tree inventory was performed in order to document all existing trees. This inventory will be reviewed by the City Forester and used to calculate any required tree replacement as the south lot is developed. The Engineering Division has reviewed the application and has provided permitting information and technical comments regarding the survey and plat, utilities, stormwater management, the Natural Resources Management Plan, and trees and landscaping (see attached memo). The Fire Department has reviewed the application and has no comments or concerns. There is a deferred street assessment of$4,800 for this property which must be paid prior to the release of the Final Plat, in addition to a Park Dedication fee of$11,010. Qualification Governing Approval as a Minor Subdivision According to Section 12.50 of the City's Subdivision Regulations, the following are the regulations governing approval of minor subdivisions with staff comments related to this request: 1. Minor subdivisions shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the requirements of the appropriate Zoning District. Both of the lots of the proposed subdivision meet the requirements of the R-1 Single Family Zoning District. 2. A minor subdivision may be denied if the City Engineer determines that the lots are not buildable. The City Engineer finds that the lots are buildable. 3. A minor subdivision may be denied if there are no sewer and water connections available or if it is determined by the City Engineer that an undue strain will be placed on City utility systems by the addition of the new lots. The addition of the new lots will not place an undue strain on City utility systems. 2 4. Approval of the minor subdivision may require the granting of certain easements to the City. New utility easements must be dedicated and shown on the Final Plat. 5. If public agencies other than the City have jurisdiction of the streets adjacent to the minor subdivision, the agencies will be given the opportunities to comment. MnDOT has been contacted regarding this subdivision, but not response has been received to this point. In response to the previous subdivision proposal in 2008, MnDOT had no comments or concerns. 6. The City may ask for review of title if required by the City Attorney for dedication of certain easements. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary prior to approval of the Final Plat. 7. The minor subdivision may be subject to park dedication requirements. A park dedication fee of $11,010 (6%of the estimated land value with 50% credit for one unit) is required for this subdivision. 8. The conditions spelled out shall provide the only basis for denial of a minor subdivision. Approval will be granted to any application that meets the established conditions. All conditions have been met. Recommended Action Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor subdivision subject to the following conditions: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the Final Plat. 2. A park dedication fee of$11,010 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat. 3. A deferred special assessment of$4,800 shall be paid before release of the Final Plat.

The application involves the subdivision of an existing parcel to create two new parcels. The existing home, with an address of 1017 Ravine Trail, will remain on the north lot (Lot 1). A new home will be constructed on the south lot (Lot 2). The comments contained in this review are based on plans submitted to the City on December 20, 2017 and revised January 5, 2018. Engineering comments are as follows: 1. Existing boundary/topographic survey a. The benchmark used in determining elevations (hydrant across from 1017 Ravine Trail) was replaced in 2016 and is not part of the City's current benchmark system. Before the submittal of permits, please contact engineering staff to obtain new benchmarks. b. Topographic information is required a minimum of 50 feet around the property boundary. Due to the steep slopes on the east portion of the property and beyond the property boundary, it is critical that the survey be expanded 100 feet to the east to include the top of the slope, the driveway and a portion of the front yard at 4112 Wayzata Boulevard, and the western end of Wayzata Boulevard, including top of curb, gutter, and storm sewer structures. This survey information must be provided on the stormwater plan for Lot 2 at the time of permitting. 2. .Site Plan and Access a. Each home must have one driveway onto Ravine Trail. According to the grading plan submitted, the new home on Lot 2 will utilize the existing curb cut and concrete apron that currently serves as a second driveway for 1017 Ravine Trail. A City Right-of-Way Management Permit is required for the removal of the existing driveway and construction of the new driveway. Contact Brennan Johnson at bpiohnson@goldenvalleymn.gov to apply for this permit. b. Ravine Trail was reconstructed by the City as part of its 1995 street improvement project. Records show there is a deferred special assessment that was attributed to the vacant, developable portion of the property. Deferred assessments become due at the time of development and therefore must be paid before final plat approval. 3. Preliminary Plat a. The property proposed for development includes Lot 9 and part of Lot 8, Block 11 West Tyrol Hills. City records indicate there are no existing easements across the property, therefore none needs to be vacated to facilitate development. The City's Subdivision code requires new drainage and utility easements on all plat boundaries and interior lot lines. The preliminary plat appears to meet the requirements of the code. b. The proposed development is adjacent to 1-394 and therefore may be subject to review and comment by MnDOT. 4. Utilities a. The City's water and sanitary sewer systems that provide service to this property have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. b. The applicant has submitted a preliminary utility plan showing the extension of water and sanitary sewer services to the mains under Ravine Trail. Permits required for this work include Water and Sewer permits, a Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration (1/1) permit, and a Right-of-Way Management permit. The Right-of-Way permit is required for all excavations and obstructions within public streets and right-of-way. As part of this permit, Ravine Trail will need to be restored in accordance with City standards. Contact Brennan Johnson at bpiohnson@goidenvalleymn.gov to apply for this permit. As a reminder, in order to protect the City's investment in its infrastructure, no pavement excavations are allowed between November 1st and the date that spring load restrictions are lifted by MnDOT, typically in April or May. c. All private utilities serving the new home, such as electric, cable, and telecommunications, must be buried underground. d. The City has a Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration (1/1) Reduction Ordinance. City records indicate that the property at 1017 Ravine Trail is not yet compliant. However, an 1/1 Deposit Agreement was executed between the owner and the City to guarantee that compliance will be obtained in a timely manner. The existing and new sewer services in this development must be inspected by the City, and must achieve compliance with the City's 1/1 Ordinance, prior to occupancy of the new home. 5. Preliminary Grading Plan (Stormwater Management) a. The proposed development is located within the Bassett Creek Watershed. However, due to the size of the development, the project does not meet the threshold for review by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC). b. The applicant submitted a preliminary grading plan for the development. There is no grading proposed on Lot 1 which contains the existing home. Conversely, Lot 2 will be mostly re-graded, and a 5 to 9 feet high retaining wall added, to accommodate the new home and separate it from the steep slope that rises to the east. Staff has concerns about removing vegetation, filling and grading the slope. Efforts should be made to minimize the disturbance to the slope if possible. c. Staff is aware of a localized drainage issue where, during intense rainfalls, stormwater from the area collects and runs across the abutting property located at 4112 Wayzata Boulevard, then proceeds down the steep slope toward 1017 Ravine Trail. Some of this issue may have been mitigated in 2010 when certain improvements were completed at 4112 Wayzata, including the construction of a small basin (rain garden)to collect stormwater in the front yard. The overflow for the rain garden exits to the west and proceeds down slope just south of the existing house at 1017 Ravine. In order to properly address the localized drainage concern, the applicant must: i. Show on the grading plan and construct a defined swale (stabilized with vegetation or rock) between the homes on Lots 1 and 2 to ensure that stormwater overflows from the rain garden at 4112 Wayzata will run down to Ravine Trail without impacting either of the homes. ii. Explore the construction of a defined overflow from the west end of Wayzata Boulevard to Ravine Trail to redirect stormwater away from the proposed home on Lot 2. As discussed in Section 1.b. above, due to the steep slopes on the east portion of the property and beyond the property boundary, it is critical that the survey/stormwater plan for Lot 2 be expanded 100 feet to the east to include the top of the slope, the driveway and a portion of the front yard at 4112 Wayzata Boulevard, and the western end of Wayzata Boulevard, including top of curb, gutter, and storm sewer structures. This will help determine if there is an opportunity to improve the overall drainage patterns in the area. City staff is available to look into this with the applicant to review opportunities for drainage improvements. d. According to the plan, the proposed driveway grade is 16.2%. Driveway grades between 2% and 10% are recommended and generally result in a more usable and maintainable surface. The Developer and Contractor are encouraged to explore designs that achieve a more desirable driveway grade. e. The Developer or contractor will be required to obtain a City Stormwater Management Permit for the grading, drainage, and erosion control proposed in this development. A stormwater management plan meeting City standards is required as part of the permit submittal. Contact Tom Hoffman, Water Resources Technician at thoffman@goldenvalleymn.gov to apply for this permit. f. in general, existing drainage patterns in the area must be maintained or improved if possible, and stormwater runoff from each property must be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Staff will review the stormwater plan for Lot 2 in more detail when the permit application is submitted. 6. Natural Resource Management Plan —Staff consulted the natural resource management plan. No ecologically valuable communities or land covers were identified on this property in the 2013 natural resource inventory. Furthermore, the property is not located within a "green corridor" as identified in the Natural Resource Management Plan. However, consistent with the City's plan staff recommends removing buckthorn and any other exotic, invasive, or noxious vegetation species located on the property as part of this development and in accordance with state and local laws. 7. Tree and Landscape Permit -The Developer has submitted a tree survey and inventory consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. A tree and landscape permit will need to be obtained before beginning any work onsite. Permit submittals include a tabular inventory of significant trees and a plan showing trees to be removed, protected, and planted. The City Forester will review the inventory and plan in more detail at the time of permitting. Contact Tim Teynor at teynor@goidenvalleymn.gov to apply for this permit. 8. The Developer must obtain all permits required for development of this property. Recommendation Engineering staff recommends approval of the application for minor subdivision subject to the comments contained in this report. Approval is also subject to the comments of the City Attorney, other City staff, and other governmental entities. Please feel free to call me or Eric Eckman if you have any questions regarding this matter.

B. Public Hearing - Amending Sections 11.21, 11.22, 11.23, 11.24, 11.55, 11.80, and 11.90 of the Zoning Code to require compliance with the Golden Valley Mixed-Income Housing Policy Prepared By Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Summary Mixed-income housing has been identified as an important component of the City’s affordable housing goals. The Golden Valley Mixed-Income Housing Policy was adopted on September 19, 2017. The Policy requires that a portion of new housing units in eligible projects must meet affordability requirements set forth in the Policy. The Policy requires that Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and projects requiring financial assistance from the City comply with the Policy. The proposed changes to the Zoning Code allow the Policy to apply to housing projects seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit as well. This will capture more anticipated projects in the City. Staff is also recommending that the Policy be updated to clarify the definition of financial assistance, which will include any grant funds received by the City and passed on to a developer for a housing project. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Zoning Code Text Amendments; however, they suggested that affordable housing remain in the PUD Amenity Points System, but only if a developer chooses to go beyond the minimum requirements of the Mixed-Income Housing Policy. Staff is supportive of this suggestion and has updated the underlined/overstruck language to reflect that.

Mixed-income housing has been identified as an important component of the City's affordable housing goals. Research shows that mixed-income communities are a key component in building economic vitality and competitiveness by attracting and retaining residents, as well as supporting major employers. Several strategies have been researched for implementation at the local government level. One strategy to meet this goal is to work with local developers to reserve a portion of their new units for low- and moderate-income residents. The Golden Valley City Council adopted the Mixed-Income Housing Policy on September 19, 2017. The Policy requires that a portion of new housing units in eligible projects must meet affordability requirements set forth in the Policy. The Policy requires that Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and projects requiring financial assistance from the City comply with the Policy. The proposed changes to the Zoning Code allow the Policy to apply to housing projects seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit as well. This will capture more anticipated projects in the City. For specific eligibility requirements, which differ between rental projects and for-sale projects, please refer to the attached Mixed-Income Housing Policy.

Informal Public Hearing — Zoning Code Text Amendment— Mixed Income Housing — ZO00-114 Applicant: City of Golden Valley Purpose: To consider the addition of Mixed Income Housing language to various sections of the Zoning Code Goellner stated that the City Council adopted the Mixed Income Housing Policy on September 19, 2017. She stated that staff intended to make the necessary changes to the Zoning Code as a part of the recodification process but that process has been delayed so staff has been directed to make the proposed Zoning Code amendments now. Goellner gave an overview of the policy and stated that it is meant to create more affordable housing in the City and is focused on new projects, not on existing affordable housing. She stated that certain housing projects of 10 or more units are subject to the requirements in the policy including for-sale condos, townhomes, large single family subdivisions, and rental projects with 10 or more units that receive certain zoning approvals. She noted that there is a distinction made between for-sale projects and rental projects because if the City required that all rental projects be subject to this policy it would be considered rent control which is not allowed by state statute. Baker asked what certain zoning approvals means in regard to rental properties. Goellner stated that a comp plan amendment, a zoning map amendment, a Conditional Use Permit, Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 4 or a PUD are examples of zoning approvals. Baker asked if a rental project with 10 or more units were proposed if the City could impose a zoning change to force the policy to be applied. Goellner said no, only a proposal that requires a zoning approval would be subject to the policy. Segelbaum asked what would happen if a condo building were switched to rental housing. Goellner said that would be a very rare occurrence and reiterated that this policy is focused on new housing developments. Zimmerman added that most housing projects will need planning approvals which will trigger the policy to be applied. Blum asked about the history of these proposed zoning code text amendments. He asked if there has been guidance from the City Council and if there has been Council consensus that has directed the Planning Commission to consider these text amendments. He said these changes seem to be the most extensive changes since the subdivision moratorium and that they seem to be happening exceptionally quickly. He said he thinks that the comprehensive and extensive nature of these text amendments merits a lot more examination. Baker asked Blum if he is asking about the genesis of the policy or the changes being made to reflect the policy. Segelbaum noted that the policy is already in place. Baker added that the Planning Commission is just considering the zoning code text amendments and not the policy itself. Blum said he has been to some of the meetings where the policy was discussed and he is challenged to find a substantial consensus that would make him feel clearly directed on ordinance changes so he would like some more information to clearly guide the Planning Commission. Goellner said it was the Council's original intention that rezonings would be a reason for needing to follow this policy. She said the key reason is that when a developer wants to change the City's vision the City wants to see some benefit for changing its vision. She added that the policy is a best practice that is used in several other cities to make sure there is affordable housing. Zimmerman added that there have been discussions about affordable housing going on for approximately two years and that the City had a study done on how to keep naturally occurring affordable housing and how to create new affordable housing and that the City Council wants to capture new units that are being constructed and making those affordable. Waldhauser said she believes the intent to include this policy has been there for many years there were just no numbers attached to it. Zimmerman agreed that affordable housing is one of the Council's goals and that this policy will put some weight behind it and make it a requirement. Goellner stated that developers can opt into this policy if they choose and they can receive incentives if they opt in such as parking reductions, density bonuses, and fee waivers on a project by project basis. Goellner referred to the affordability requirements and explained that in for-sale projects (condos and townhomes) 10% of the units must be affordable to households earning 80% AMI. For rental projects (apartments) 15% of the units must be affordable to households earning 60% AMI or 10% of the units must be affordable to households earning 50% AMI. She added that the affordability term is at least 20 years from the time the building opens. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 5 Goellner explained that AMI is the Area Median Income determined by HUD with Census data and that a family of four in the metro area at 100% AMI earns $85,800. A family of four in the metro area at 60% AMI earns $51,480 so a three-bedroom apartment in this policy would cost a family between $1,158-$1,493 per month rather than $1,930-$2,488 or more. Goellner stated that other features of the policy include: each phase in a multi-phased development must meet the requirements, affordable and market rate units must be built at same time, the size and design of affordable units must be consistent, comparable, look the same from the exterior, and distributed throughout building (not separated), If a tenant's income increases, they may stay in unit as long as income doesn't exceed 120% AMI, the developer may dedicate existing NOAH units instead of building new units, and a landlord cannot turn away a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holder from renting solely based on that income source. Goellner stated that the necessary Zoning Code changes include adding the words "compliance with the Mixed-Income Housing Policy" to each permitted and conditional use listed in the R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 zoning districts. The CUP section of Code will require compliance with the policy as a factor of evaluation and approval, the PUD section of Code will require compliance with the policy and would remove affordable housing from the amenity points table, and the Administrative section of Code will require compliance with the policy for Zoning Map amendments and Comprehensive Plan amendments. Segelbaum said it makes sense that PUDs shouldn't get credit twice for providing affordable units but if a developer goes above and beyond that they should get the extra points from the amenity points table. Goellner agreed the affordable housing amenity points could stay in the PUD section of Code if the developer goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of the policy. Segelbaum asked how the City is working on preserving existing affordable housing units. Goellner stated that there are ten multi-family properties in the City that are charging affordable rents ranging from $800 to $1,200 per month. These ten properties are at risk of being sold to a new owner and the rents could rise given the current market conditions. She said the focus has been on these ten properties and creating policies to help preserve these units and keep the rents affordable. Segelbaum asked if these new policies will be added to the Zoning Code. Goellner stated that they will likely be policies and not Zoning Code changes because the City has to use incentives, not requirements because of the rent control laws. Brookins asked if restrictive covenants will be used to enforce the requirement regarding the 20 year affordability term. Goellner said yes. Blum asked if the conversation in its entirety is closed and complete and the Planning Commission has been directed to approve the zoning text amendments, or if it is an on- going conversation and the City is just testing whether or not this is a good time to look at what has already been discussed. Goellner reiterated that the policy has been approved Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 6 by the City Council and they are supportive of adding language to the Zoning Code supporting the policy. Baker opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing. Blum said he wants to be cautious and consider the entire picture because he is concerned about creating concentrations of poverty or ghettos when cities try to create low income housing. Baker stated that the subject of this public hearing is to make a recommendation on the zoning text amendments which implies that the Council has made the decision to do this and the Planning Commission is doing administrative work. Waldhauser referred to the incentives for developers listed in the policy where it states that if they are willing to reduce the required parking by 33% or a 10% increase in density. Black asked if a larger increase in density could be offered. Waldhauser questioned if the City needs to offer that big of a parking reduction. Goellner stated that the reduction is so large in order to offset the high cost to build parking and that there are probably limited places where that incentive would work. Baker asked if the same incentives are used in other cities. Goellner said yes. Baker referred to Segelbaum's comment about the PUD amenity points regarding affordable housing and said he would like the existing language to remain in the Code. Black asked if an applicant receives 120% of AMI would they lose their apartment. Goellner said they would have to switch units in order to keep the affordable unit available to income qualified individuals. Segelbaum stated that there is a lot of City oversite with this policy and asked if it will be overbearing. Goellner said it is necessary in order to be effective. She noted that the City will hire someone to do the reporting and charge the developer for that work. Segelbaum said he supports these proposed text amendments and that he is anxious to see what the City comes up with for preserving existing affordable housing. Baker and Waldhauser agreed. Blum said he thinks the proposed text amendments are appropriate and reasonable. MOVED by Blum, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Code text amendments and to keep the PUD amenity points regarding affordable housing in the Zoning Code. --Short Recess-- 4.

CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY MIXED-INCOME HOUSING POLICY The purpose of this Policy is to meet the City's goal of preserving and promoting economically diverse housing options in our community by creating high quality housing in Golden Valley for households with a variety of income levels, ages, and sizes. The City recognizes the need to provide affordable housing to households of a broad range of income levels in order to maintain a diverse population and to provide housing for those who live or work in the City. Without intervention, the trend toward rising housing prices in new developments will continue. The City is adopting this Policy to encourage development of units that are affordable to low and moderate income households and working families. The requirements set forth in this Policy further the housing goals in the City's Comprehensive Plan to create and preserve affordable housing opportunities. These requirements are intended to provide a structure for participation by both the public and private sectors in the production of affordable housing. I. Applicability and Minimum Project Size This Policy applies to: 1. Market rate residential rental developments that add or create ten or more units and receive approvals under a Conditional Use Permit, Zoning Map Amendment, Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment, or Planned Unit Development, or that receive Financial Assistance from the City, subject to all applicable sections of the City Code. 2. All for-sale residential developments that add or create ten or more units. 3. Any residential development for which the developer voluntarily opts in to this Policy. II. Affordable Dwelling Units A. General Requirement A development that is subject to this Policy shall include Affordable Dwelling Units. The minimum number of Affordable Dwelling Units required shall be determined based on the affordability standard chosen by the developer according to the criteria set forth in table T-1 below. Table T-1 Number of Affordable Minimum Affordability Standard Units Required Rental Projects At least 15% of total project units Affordable for households at 60% (chose one option) Area Median Income ("AMI"); OR At least 10% of total project units Affordable for households at 50% AMI. For-Sale Projects At least 10% of total project units Affordable for households at 80% AMI. B. Calculation of Units Required The number of Affordable Dwelling Units required shall be based on the total number of dwelling units approved by the City. If the final calculation includes a fraction, the fraction of a unit shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If an occupied property with existing dwelling units is expanded, the number of required Affordable Dwelling Units shall be based on the total number of units following completion of expansion. C. Calculation of Area Median Income (""AMI") For purposes of this Policy, Area Median Income means the Area Median Income calculated annually by Minnesota Housing for establishing rent limits for the Housing Tax Credit Program. D. Rent Level Calculation The monthly rental price for Affordable Dwelling Units shall include rent and utility costs and shall be based on the AMI for the metropolitan area that includes Golden Valley adjusted for bedroom size. E. Period of Affordability All Affordable Dwelling Units shall remain affordable for at least twenty (20) years. F. Location of Affordable Dwelling Units Except as otherwise specifically authorized under this Policy, all Affordable Dwelling Units shall be located within the development. G. Phased Development Construction of Affordable Dwelling Units shall be concurrent with construction of market rate dwelling units. For projects in which a development is to be constructed in multiple phases, each phase shall consist of at least ten percent (10%) Affordable Dwelling Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total number of Affordable Dwelling Units in the completed project shall comply with the requirements of section II(A) above. III. Standards for Affordable Dwelling Units A. Size and Design of Affordable Units The size and design of Affordable Dwelling Units need not be identical to that of market rate units, but must be consistent with and comparable to market rate units in the same development. The size and design of Affordable Dwelling Units, including bedroom count and accessibility, shall be approved by the City. B. Exterior/Interior appearance The exterior materials and design of Affordable Dwelling Units shall be indistinguishable in style and quality from the market rate units in the same development. The interior finish and quality of construction of Affordable Dwelling Units shall at a minimum be comparable to entry level rental or ownership housing in the City. IV. Integration of Affordable Dwelling Units A.

B. Tenants Affordable Dwelling Units in rental projects shall be rented only to income eligible families during the period of affordability. An income eligible family may remain in the Affordable Dwelling Unit for additional rental periods as long as the income of the family does not exceed one-hundred twenty percent (120%) of AMI. C. Home Buyers For-sale Affordable Dwelling Units shall be sold only to income eligible families during the period of affordability. If a home is resold during the period of affordability, it shall be resold at a price that is affordable for households at eighty percent (80%) of AMI. V. Alternatives to On-Site Development of Affordable Dwelling Units The City may approve one or more of the following alternatives to providing Affordable Dwelling Units at a location other than the project location ("Off-site Affordable Dwelling Units"). 1. Dedication of Existing Units: Creating Off-Site Affordable Dwelling Units by restricting existing dwelling units through covenants, contractual arrangements, or resale restrictions. The City shall determine whether the proposed units are suitable for affordable housing and whether the form and content of such restrictions comply with this Policy. Off-site Affordable Dwelling Units shall be located within the City. The restriction of such existing units must result in the creation of units that are of equivalent quality and size of the Affordable Dwelling Units which would have been constructed on-site if this alternative had not been utilized. 2. An alternative proposed by the applicant that directly provides or enables the provision of Affordable Dwelling Units within the City. The alternative must be approved by the City and made a condition of approval of the Affordable Housing Performance Agreement. All alternatives must be approved by the City Council and agreed to by the applicant in the Affordable Housing Performance Agreement. The applicant must show evidence acceptable to the City that a formal commitment to the proposed alternative is in place. The City shall not approve an alternative unless the applicant demonstrates: 1. The alternative provides an equivalent or greater amount of Affordable Dwelling Units in a way that the City determines better achieves the goals, objectives and policies of the City's housing goals in the Comprehensive Plan than providing them onsite; and 2. The alternative will not cause the City to incur any net cost as a result of the alternative compliance mechanism. VI.
