Agenda Item
3. C. 1. Approve On-Sale Brewer Taproom and Off-Sale Brewer Malt Liquor License - Under
Pressure Brewing Company
Prepared By
Kris Luedke, City Clerk
Summary
Under Pressure Brewing Company LLC has applied for an on-sale brewer taproom and off-sale
brewer malt liquor license. The brewer will be located at 8806 7th Avenue North. In City Code
Section 5.34, an on-sale brewer taproom license requires an applicant to be licensed by the
Commissioner of Public Safety. The applicant is unable to provide proof that its license has been
approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety because the Commissioner requires proof that the
City approved the license before the Commissioner will issue a license. Staff recommends approval
of the license with the condition that the applicant provide proof that the Commissioner also
approved the license before the applicant begins selling alcohol.
The City Attorney has reviewed the application, and has found the documents are in order. The
Golden Valley Police Department has completed the background investigation and has found no
reason to deny the license.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the issuance of an On-Sale Brewer Taproom and Off-Sale Brewer Malt Liquor
License to Under Pressure Brewing Company located at 8806 7th Avenue North through June 30,
2018, contingent upon the applicant providing proof that the Commissioner approved their
license before the brewer begins selling alcohol.

Regular Meeting of the

April 9, 2018
A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall,
Council Conference Room, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on
Monday, April 9, 2018. Secretary Blum called the meeting to order at 7:11 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Black, Blum, Brookins, Segelbaum and
Waldhauser. Also present were Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman and
Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. Commissioners Angell, Johnson and Baker were
absent.

2. Informal Public Hearing – Major PUD Amendment – 701 Lilac Drive –
Tennant PUD #114 – PU114-A3
Applicant: Transform Minnesota (Damascus Way)
Address: 701 Lilac Drive
Purpose: To modify the boundary of the existing Tennant PUD
Zimmerman reminded the Commission that they reviewed a Tennant PUD Amendment
proposal back in October. He explained that a number of the applicant’s land use proposals
have been withdrawn, but the Damascus Way portion of the proposal which involves
removing Damascus from the Tennant PUD is moving forward.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and aerial photos of the property and explained that the
applicant is proposing to relocate the Damascus Way facility to the west, outside of the
PUD, where a vacant house currently sits. He noted that the Planning Commission already
recommended approval of a land use change, a zoning change, and a Conditional Use
Permit for Damascus Way. Zimmerman referred to a drawing showing easements and
explained that some of them will need to be vacated, rededicated, or created as part of the
Final plat. He stated that staff is recommending approval of the PUD Amendment because
all six of the necessary findings have been met.

Page 2
Waldhauser asked if the current Damascus Way property is being incorporated into the
Tennant PUD. Zimmerman said not yet, Tennant would own the property, and will add it to
the PUD in the future.
Black referred to staff’s condition regarding stormwater management and asked why
Tennant will be responsible when they are not the applicant in this proposal. Zimmerman
stated that Tennant is involved in the PUD agreement for the entire PUD and that
stormwater management issues are still being negotiated.
Segelbaum asked if this proposal is subject to the PUD amenity point requirements.
Zimmerman said no, currently the public amenity points are only required with the creation
of a new PUD, not a PUD amendment.
Segelbaum asked if staff attended the neighborhood meeting. Zimmerman said he did, and
one neighbor who lives to the north of the proposed Damascus Way site also attended.
Blum asked why the right-of-way to the south is being attached to the new Damascus Way
parcel. Zimmerman stated that it is right-of-way that the City and MnDOT don’t want or
need. He referred to an aerial photo and showed how it will be used for a sidewalk
connection in the future. Waldhauser questioned why Tennant isn’t getting additional right-
of-way on their other properties along the frontage road for the future sidewalk. Zimmerman
stated that right-of-way will eventually be required for sidewalk as Tennant’s PUD proposal
moves forward.
Drew Johnson, Oppidan Investment Company, helping facilitate on behalf of Damascus
Way and Tennant, stated he is in agreement with staff’s conditions subject to working out
some of the stormwater issues and how the two parcels relate regarding stormwater.
Blum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Blum
closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser said it seems like this is a small advancement on the larger Tennant PUD
proposal they’ve already discussed. Segelbaum agreed and said it satisfies the
requirements and provides benefits in that it makes the PUD more consistent and less of a
hodge podge of different properties so he is in favor of this proposal. Blum agreed and said
this is a good way for the City to be a partner with property owners and to add some value
to the property.
MOVED by Brookins, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of a Major PUD Amendment plan for Tennant Companies PUD No. 114,
Amendment #3 subject to the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. The modifications do not negatively impact the overall quality of the site, and in fact
advance the opportunity for planned improvements to the Tennant Campus by
clearing land for future redevelopment.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 9, 2018
Page 3
2. The lot being created previously contained a single-family home, so no significant
impacts to desirable portions of the site’s characteristics are likely.
3. The proposed amendment would utilize land efficiently by concentrating ongoing
uses within one portion of the site and creating opportunities for future
redevelopment, allowing for continued growth of the City’s tax base.
4. The uses being proposed are consistent with the current uses on the site and with
the City’s Comprehensive Plan which calls for the preservation and expansion of
facilities housing major employers; consistent with other redevelopment goals of the
City such as the revitalization of the Douglas Drive Corridor; and would help bring
order to an area that is currently a mix of uses and zoning designations and that
lacks cohesion.
5. The PUD amendment would not impact the general health, safety, or welfare of the
people of the City.
6. The proposed modification does not conflict with the standards applied to the
existing PUD and does not invalidate the Intent and Purpose provision of the City
Code.
Conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division, dated April 5, 2018, shall become a part of this approval.
2. Easements identified within section one of the Engineering memo (Preliminary Plat) shall
be vacated, rededicated, or created as described and included on the Final Plat.
3. The Development Agreement for PUD No. 114 shall be amended to address the timing
of construction of the required stormwater treatment system for the existing Tennant
campus and the new Lot 2.
4. A park dedication fee of $10,044 shall be required prior to the release of the Final Plat.
5. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations,
or laws with authority over this development.
3. Informal Public Hearing – Conditional Use Permit – 730 Florida Avenue –
CU-110 – Amendment #1
Applicant: Import Auto Sales, LLC
Address: 730 Florida Avenue South
Purpose: To allow used motor vehicle sales and automotive repair in the I-394
Mixed Use Zoning District
Zimmerman noted that this property is a multi-tenant building at the corner of Laurel and
Florida Avenues. He explained that the applicant is requesting to amend an existing
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow auto sales and repair in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning
district. He stated that the existing CUP allows for limited auto repair and that the I-394
Mixed Use zoning district allows auto sales and repair with a CUP for uses occupying more
than 10,000 square feet.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 9, 2018
Page 4
Zimmerman discussed the existing conditions and stated that this is the former site of
PRISM, and is a 2.8 acre site with a building footprint of approximately 51,700 square feet
total. 730 Florida Avenue occupies approximately 24,000 square feet and the parking lot is
located on the south half of the lot.
Zimmerman stated that the applicant is proposing to construct eight bays for auto repair,
and indoor showroom for display, and an office space for customer service. He noted that
prior to occupancy, the parking lot would be resurfaced and restriped and that there will be
no changes to the exterior of the building except for new signage. He explained that the
hours for sales would be Monday-Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, Saturday 9 am to 6 pm and
Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. The hours for auto repair would be Monday-Friday 8 am to 6 pm and
Saturday 8 am to 2 pm. He stated that the applicant anticipates 500 auto sales per year
and at least two service customers per day.
Zimmerman referred to the parking requirements and stated that the required number of
vehicle parking spaces is 54, and the number of required bicycle spaces is four. He stated
that the previous CUP suggests that there is room for approximately 84 parking spaces so
there should be plenty of capacity to handle the required parking. He stated that staff is
recommending approval of this CUP amendment as it meets the factors listed in Code used
when evaluating Conditional Use Permits.
Zimmerman stated that because this property is in the I-394 Mixed Use zoning district a site
plan review is required. He referred to pedestrian circulation and noted that sidewalk along
Florida Ave is already installed and that a defined, landscaped path to the principal
entrance already exists. He referred to parking location and screening and stated that
additional screening, either vegetative or fencing, of the parking lot/inventory storage is
required.
Segelbaum said he knows PRISM hasn’t serviced vehicles at this location for several years
and asked if the existing CUP carries on with this new tenant. Zimmerman stated that the
CUP is tied to the land and is still in force. Since the applicant is proposing to expand the
use it is triggering the need for this CUP amendment.
Segelbaum asked if the I-394 Mixed Use zoning district has any other additional
requirements. Zimmerman said that if the applicant was tearing the building down there
would be more requirements, but they aren’t.
Segelbaum noted that Zimmerman said the screening could be vegetative or fencing, but
he recalls that the City wants to enhance vegetative screening. Zimmerman stated that the
Code isn’t specific about the type of screening used, but the Planning Commission could
encourage the applicant to use natural screening. Waldhauser said she didn’t think the City
wanted to encourage screening for auto dealerships because the cars need to be seen.
She said she thought the screening requirements applied more for employee parking or
other parking lots. Zimmerman said the City has been requiring screening for auto
dealership inventory. Waldhauser said she thinks screening is more of a concern if a
dealership faces a residential area and this does not.

Radu Krisshmaru, Applicant, said he has been in this business for a long time in several
different cities. He stated that the property will be much better looking and that he will
screen the parking lot if required. He questioned how far the screening would have to be
from the parking lot because there isn’t much space for snow storage. Craig Gass,
Counselor Realty, added that they could also do some natural landscaping.
Segelbaum asked the applicant if he will be selling new or used cars. Krisshmaru said he
sells newer, used vehicles and that they like to keep a nice, clean looking property.
Segelbaum referred to the number of parking spaces available and asked the applicant if
he intends to have 60 cars in inventory. Krisshmaru said there will be 60 cars outside and
some in the indoor showroom too.
Segelbaum asked the applicant if he intends to add signage. Krisshmaru said he will follow
the City’s codes regarding signage.
Waldhauser referred to the lighting in the parking lot and asked the applicant if he will need
different lighting than what is there currently. Krisshmaru said he doesn’t think he’ll need to
add more lighting except for maybe some in the back of the building. Zimmerman stated
that the lighting can be kept as is, but if the applicant changes fixtures then the Code
requirements would apply.
Blum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Blum
closed the public hearing.
Blum referred to the screening of the parking lot and asked about the differences between
other dealerships and what will be required with this applicant. Zimmerman discussed what
was required with the last few auto dealerships and reiterated that the Code just states that
parking lots shall be screened. Blum asked if the Planning Commission can recommend
something specific regarding screening. Zimmerman said yes, the Code says the City may
permit alternative approaches that meet the intent of the Code. Brookins asked if there are
requirements or limitations regarding gates at the entrance. Zimmerman said no, and
added that gates are used more for inventory areas, than sales areas. Blum asked how far
the screening has to be from the parking lot. Zimmerman said the Code doesn’t give a
distance, but the closer the screening is to the street, the better it would be for blocking the
view of vehicles.
Segelbaum asked about snow storage and removal requirements. Zimmerman said the
Code doesn’t specify, but there should be enough room on this site for snow storage.
Segelbaum asked if there are places snow can’t be stored. Zimmerman said typically the
City doesn’t want to see snow stored on top of sensitive landscaping.
Black noted that there are 54 required parking space and that they are expecting to have
84 parking spaces asked if the applicant would be allowed to have more than 30 cars in
inventory at one time. Zimmerman said if there is sufficient space on site, it is left up to the
business owner to make sure they have enough parking spaces on their site for their
customers. Blum agreed that he wants to make sure there is enough parking for staff and
customers. Segelbaum said he has concerns about snow storage as well. Zimmerman
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 9, 2018
Page 6
clarified that the conditions the City can attach to a CUP are things that reasonably mitigate
the concerns the City might have in regard to the use of the property. He stated that a
condition of approval could state that snow shall be stored or removed in way that doesn’t
jeopardize the minimum number of required parking spaces on the site.
Brookins referred to the discussion regarding screening and said he is indifferent about
what type of screening should be allowed and he is open to variations. Blum asked
Brookins if he would distinguish between parking for storage and parking for customers or
staff. Brookins said no, he wouldn’t distinguish between the two. Waldhauser said she
would prefer green screening that includes some grasses and small shrubs. Segelbaum,
Blum, and Brookins agreed. Zimmerman noted that the standards in the Code require four
feet of screening and asked if the Planning Commission is comfortable with something less
than that. Waldhauser recommended 2.5 to 3 feet in height. Segelbaum said it is hard to
decide without seeing a specific plan. Blum said it seems reasonable to go with what the
Code prescribes. Segelbaum suggested the applicant show a plan to Council if they’d like
to do something less than what the Code requires. Brookins said he would be comfortable
with staff reviewing the screening plans with the recommendation that the screening should
exceed 2.5 feet in height.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #110, Amendment #1 subject to the
following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. Relocation from the applicant’s current site, less than a mile away, indicates there is
a local market for the goods and services being provided.
2. The automobile sales and repair uses are not inconsistent with the Mixed Use
designation on the City’s General Land Use Plan Map. These commercial uses
support the goal of locating redevelopment along major corridors and increasing the
job and tax base within the community.
3. Staff anticipates the new uses would have no impact on the surrounding property
values and are isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed uses would likely not exceed the
number of trips generated by the use previously at this location. Trips generated
from the proposed uses would not exceed the capacity of the roadways. All vehicle
deliveries and storage of inventory would be required to take place on-site and not
on the street.
5. The proposed uses may generate an increase in the number of employees and
customers at the location compared to the past uses, but are consistent with the
other properties surrounding the site and the Mixed Use district.
6. The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause a significant increase in noise
levels. Automobile repair work would be conducted within an enclosed building and
would take place during normal business hours. No outside music, loudspeakers, or
public address system would be allowed.
7. The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause an increase in dust or odor. Minimal
vibrations may be associated with the auto repair use but should not impact any
adjacent uses.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 9, 2018
Page 7
8. The proposed uses are not anticipated to attract pests.
9. The visual impacts of dealership inventory stored in the parking lot will be mitigated
through the addition of screening. An exterior dumpster would be screening with
material compatible with the building.
10. Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed uses. The
location is surrounded by automobile, warehouse, and commercial properties and
has adequate parking.
Conditions:
1. All vehicle deliveries and storage of inventory shall take place on-site and shall not
take place on the street.
2. No parking shall be allowed within any existing landscaped area.
3. The number of service bays on-site shall be limited to eight.
4. The exterior dumpster shall be screened from view and made of material compatible
with the building.
5. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public address system will be allowed.
6. Additional screening shall be installed consistent with the Development Standards
for parking screening listed in the Zoning Code for the I-394 Mixed Use District. If
vegetative screening is used, the applicant must submit a landscaping plan (number
of plantings, species of plantings, etc.) to be reviewed and approved by the City
Forester. The applicant shall explore, with the City Council and staff, ways in which
they can enhance the beauty of the site in exchange for a reduction in the required
height of the parking lot screening.
7. Snow storage shall be such that it maintains the minimum number of required
parking spaces.
--Short Recess--
4. Reports on Meetings of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, City
Council, Board of Zoning Appeals and other Meetings
Zimmerman reminded the Commissioners that there is a Planning Workshop on April 16
regarding TOD Zoning. He stated that the Planning Commission annual report is
scheduled to be on the April 10 Council/Manager agenda.
Waldhauser reported on a Blue Line meeting recently held at Unity Church.
Black suggested that the City’s parking requirements be reviewed. Zimmerman agreed.

5. BUSINESS
A. Receive Presentation on Technical Pre-Proposal for Assessment & Treatment of Phosphorus in
Northwood Lake
Chris Long with Stantec, consulting engineer for the City of New Hope, introduced Dr. John Gulliver, a researcher
and professor at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory at the University of Minnesota (U of M).
The City of New Hope and the U of M are proposing a study on Northwood Lake to investigate internal
phosphorus release from sediment and implement a pilot study of the use of iron filings in the lake. Dr. Gulliver
outlined the proposed study in a PowerPoint presentation and city staff requested funding assistance from the
Commission for the study.
[Commissioner Scanlan arrives.]
BCWMC March 15, 2018 Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 7
In Dr. Gulliver’s summary, he described prior laboratory projects using sediment from Rush and Ann Lakes. He
noted iron can control the release of phosphorus with and without the presence of oxygen. He reported iron
pulls phosphorus out of pore water in the sediment and that different types of iron have been tested.
Dr. Gulliver then reviewed the proposed study for Northwood Lake, which included estimated costs for pre-
treatment analyses of water quality and sediment in year 1 ($16,409); applying the iron and performing post-
treatment monitoring in year two ($26,876); and purchase of the iron itself ($15,000 - $30,000).
There was discussion about the cost of iron filings vs. alum. Dr. Gulliver noted that an alum treatment is likely to
be more expensive for a small lake like Northwood, but it’s about the same cost for large lakes. There was a
question on whether continued external loading of phosphorus would degrade the iron and the answer was no,
although it would impact water quality. As to impacts on aquatic life, Dr. Gulliver noted iron is ubiquitous and
present in many northern Minnesota lakes. He noted alum does leave toxicity issues. Dr. Gulliver reported the life
expectancy of the treatment is unknown since this study has not been done in the field before.
Commissioner Harwell liked the idea of having the Commission involved with the project and a study like this.
Commission Engineer Chandler commented that this is an interesting idea, but thought that Northwood Lake
might not be the best place for this study because there are not indicators that internal loading is the issue with
Northwood Lake, and the lake has a high volume of water flowing through it as it’s an impoundment of the North
Branch of Bassett Creek. On the other hand, a lot would be learned with sediment coring in the first year. There
was discussion about other lakes that may be better candidates for the study, including Lost Lake.
Administrator Jester stated that New Hope is requesting funding partners including the Commission and
recommended that the Budget Committee consider the funding request in their 2019 budget.
[Commissioner Harwell departs.]
Mr. Long indicated that Stantec would offer some free assistance toward the project and that Stantec grant
dollars are also being sought. It was also noted that the Commission will monitor Northwood Lake as part of its
routine monitoring program in 2019, so that may help bring down some of the monitoring costs.
There was general support for the project from several commissioners.
Alternate Commissioner Monk said the Budget Committee should have the question answered regarding
whether or not this is the right lake for the study and that more information from U of M or Commission
Engineer is needed to determine this. Dr. Gulliver said they would look at the complete water quality data for
the lake as supplied by the Commission Engineer.
B. Consider Approval of Resolution of Appreciation for Commissioner Mueller
Chair de Lambert noted this is Commissioner Mueller’s last meeting with the Commission because he is moving
to Wisconsin. Chair de Lambert read the resolution of appreciation, noting that Commissioner Mueller had
served on the Commission since 2013, including serving as vice chair from 2014 – 2017 and working on several
committees.
Commissioner Mueller said he will miss everyone and that he learned a lot. He noted that good organizations are
all about the people and good staff. Commissioner Welch added that Commissioner Mueller had been a fantastic
commissioner and he will be missed. Commissioner Carlson noted that he has appreciated Commissioner
Mueller’s input. Commissioner Scanlan commented that he appreciated Mueller’s easy-going approach. Chair de
Lambert appreciated that Mr. Mueller was willing to stand in for him at meetings.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve the resolution of appreciation for Commissioner Mueller.
Commissioner Scanlan seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 8-0. [City of Golden Valley absent
from the vote.]

C. Consider Approval of Recommendations from Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
Erick Francis, Technical Advisory Committee chair reported that the TAC met on March 2nd to discuss various
topics. He noted that the TAC needs another meeting to finalize recommendations on the 5-year CIP and other
topics. He noted the board packet memo includes updates on the timing of local water management plan
development in each city and recommendations regarding 1) BWSR’s Biennial Budget Request (BBR) and 2) a
request from Plymouth for use of Channel Maintenance Funds.
Mr. Francis reviewed the recommendations:
The TAC recommends that the Commission submit its 2020 – 2021 capital projects to BWSR through the BBR and
ask member cities for their 2020 and 2021 capital projects to be included with the Commission’s submittal.
The TAC recommends that the Commission approve a reimbursement to the City of Plymouth from its accrued
Channel Maintenance Funds in the amount of $73,461.65 for sediment removed from the Plymouth Creek Water
Quality Ponds in February 2018.
There was some discussion about the purpose and intended use of the channel maintenance funds.
Administrator Jester noted that typically the funds are requested by cities for a future project but that there is
precedence for providing funds after the fact and that sediment removal from a water quality pond on the trunk
system is an accepted use of the funds. She recommended approval of the request.
[Commissioner Elder departs.]
MOTION: Commissioner Prom moved to approve the TAC recommendations as presented. Commissioner Welch
seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 8-0. [City of Golden Valley absent from the vote.]
Commissioner Welch noted he attended the TAC meeting and reminded cities that the BCWMC Plan requires
cities adopt ordinances within two years of the BCWMC Plan approval and the deadline has passed. He noted
that the cities’’ lack of ordinance adoption could interfere with the BCWMC approval of local water management
plans.
Commissioner Scanlan wondered if commissioners or staff should get on city council agendas. TAC member,
Derek Asche, noted that cities with multiple watersheds and schedules find it difficult to keep updating
ordinances. There was some discussion about ordinance updates. Mr. Asche stated that it is not uncommon to
change ordinances, but that it cannot be done constantly.
D. Approval of Funding Request from Three Rivers Park District for Watercraft Inspectors
Administrator Jester gave an overview of the $5,000 request from Three Rivers Park District (TRPD) to hire Level II
inspectors to use the decontamination unit which was recently purchased by TRPD using a Hennepin County AIS
Prevention grant awarded to the Commission. Administrator Jester noted the grant agreement is included in the
added agenda item, 5H. She noted TRPD has agreed to own, operate, and maintain the decontamination unit but
is in need of funding to hire Level II inspectors to operate the unit. Staff recommends approval of the funding
request which would come from the APM/AIS budget. She reviewed the items expected to be charged to this
budget line this year and noted this request still fits within the budget.
Commissioner Carlson stated he felt strongly that the decontamination unit is important, but he has a different
opinion than the TRPD about the hours of operation. He wants to see a provision to close the launch when
inspectors are not present.
MOTION: Commissioner Carlson moved to approve the funding request on the condition that TRPD close the
launch when inspectors are not present. Commissioner Welch seconded the motion.
Administrator Jester stated that her understanding was that TRPD is opposed to closing the launch but that they
would be willing to train extra volunteer inspectors or hire additional inspectors if additional funding is provided.
Commissioner Welch noted that more information is needed on reasons for keeping the launch open when
inspectors are not there. Commissioner Mueller wondered if there should be a fee for use of the decon unit.
BCWMC March 15, 2018 Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 7
There was discussion about other public launches on the lake including a City of Plymouth launch open a few
weeks each year and monitored by the city and a private marina. It was noted that TRPD is a good partner on
many issues, but there was sympathy for Commissioner Carlson’s concerns.
Administrator Jester reminded the Commission that TRPD is a good partner on many issues including water
quality monitoring and treating curly-leaf pondweed and she noted the approved APM/AIS Committee
recommendations including one to consider starting a small grant program to help fund inspectors or AIS
education materials, or signs, etc.
After more thought, Commissioner Welch indicated he thought the funding should not be contingent on launch
hours and rescinded his support on the motion.
Commissioner Carlson restated how strongly he felt about this issue and proposed that the Commission approve
the current motion to send a strong message to TRPD about the need to have a gate that closes when the launch
is not staffed.
Upon a VOTE, the motion failed with two ayes and six nos. (Cities of Medicine Lake and New Hope voting aye;
cities of Plymouth, Crystal, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, and Minnetonka voting no.) [City of Golden
Valley absent from the vote.]
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve the funding request of $5,000 to TRPD with direction to the
Administrator to get information from TRPD on launch policies and express deep concerns with keeping launch
open when inspectors are not present. Commissioner Scanlan seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion
carried 8-0. [City of Golden Valley absent from the vote.]
[Commissioner Prom departs. Commissioner Byrnes assumed voting role.]
E. Discuss Status of Chloride Limited Liability Legislation
Administrator Jester gave an update on the status of the chloride legislation in the Minnesota House and Senate.
There was some discussion about different groups supporting and opposing the legislation. Commissioner Welch
stated that the Commission should be actively involved.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to direct the Administrator to draft a letter for the Chair’s signature in
support of the legislation and send to the bill’s authors and the Senate and House President. Commissioner
Mueller seconded the motion.
After the motion was made, Alternate Commissioner Byrnes stated he thought that was a good idea, but he
wondered if it was effective. He thought individual commissioners should also contact their legislators.
Commissioner Welch stated that the Commission should be on record supporting the legislation. Mr. Asche
voiced concern saying he didn’t think it was appropriate for the Commission to comment on proposed legislation
since the Commission doesn’t know the positions of all of its member cities. Commissioner Welch replied that the
Commission is local unit of government and the letter would not state the cities’ positions, only the Commission’s
position.
VOTE: Upon a vote, the motion carried, 7 - 1. Dissenting vote by the City of Plymouth. [City of Golden Valley
absent from the vote.]
F. Receive Update on BWSR’s Watershed Based Funding Pilot Program
Administrator Jester reported that a second meeting of the 11 Hennepin County watersheds was held on
February 27th and that the group narrowed down their recommendations for use of the Clean Water funds which
included an idea for all watersheds to work collectively on the issue of chloride pollution. The group agreed to
meet in smaller groups based on basins. The Mississippi River Basin watersheds met on March 12th and
BCWMC March 15, 2018 Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 7
developed general criteria that could be used to prioritize CIP projects among the Mississippi River Basin
watersheds. She noted a meeting of all watersheds AND eligible cities would be convened in May.
[Commissioner Welch departs.]
G. Consider Approval of Recommendations from Education Committee
Committee Chair Byrnes reported that the Education Committee met on March 9th. He walked through the
Committee’s recommendations including:
1) To approve funding presented in the proposed education budget, much of which is the same as previous years
and which includes $250 for packets of native seeds; $1,200 for commissioner training and registration; $4,000 to
Metro Blooms as local match for Harrison Neighborhood Project; $310 for dog waste bag dispensers; and $1,000
for creek crossing signs; and
2) To not hold a watershed tour this year due to one or more watershed tours planned for next year; and
3) To approve entering into a contract with Dawn Pape with Lawn Chair Gardener Creative Services for up to
$3,000 for education activities, the details of which will be worked out at the next Education Committee meeting.
MOTION: Alternate Commissioner Byrnes moved to approve the Education Committee’s recommendations as
presented. Commissioner Scanlan seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Golden
Valley and Minneapolis absent from the vote.]
H. Consider Approval of Agreement with Hennepin County for AIS Prevention Grant
Administrator Jester reported the grant agreement was reviewed by attorney Gilchrist and the County agreed to
his recommended changes.
MOTION: Commissioner Carlson moved to approve the execution of the AIS Grant Agreement with Hennepin
County. Commissioner Scanlan seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 7-0. [Cities of Golden
Valley and Minneapolis absent from the vote.]

3. E. 1. Award Contract for the 2018 Crack Sealing Project No. 18-13
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
R.J. Kakach, PE, Assistant City Engineer
Summary
The City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) addresses the needs of the City’s streets. The
program includes asphalt maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Through this program,
timely and cost-effective measures are taken to construct and extend pavement life.
As asphalt pavement ages, it is subject to the weathering effects of water, air, cold winters, and
hot summers. As pavement naturally expands and contracts through the seasons, it forms thermal
cracks that extend from one edge of the street to the other.
Crack sealing is a maintenance effort in which a hot asphaltic material is placed inside of the
pavement cracks. This is done to prevent water seepage into the pavement and subgrade and in
turn substantially extends the life of the pavement. Crack sealant lasts approximately 2-5 years.
The City’s 2018 Crack Sealing Project will be located in Maintenance Zone 3, as shown on the
attached map.
Quotes for the 2018 Crack Sealing Project City Improvement Project 18-13 were opened on April
20, 2018, and are listed below:
Seal Tech, Inc. $50,000
Allied Blacktop Company $73,400
Staff has reviewed the quotes and found them to be accurate and in order.
Funding for this project is in the 2018 Street Maintenance Budget (1440.6440) with $50,000
available for crack sealing.

3. G. Accept Report of Inspection Procedure and Results for Determining Qualification of a Tax
Increment Financing District as a Redevelopment District
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
In 2017, Tennant Company made an application to the HRA and City to establish a redevelopment
tax increment financing district to assist in the development of its World Headquarters project. A
“blight study”, dated September 27, 2017, was completed on the parcels and structures proposed
for inclusion in the TIF district to document conformance with the statutory requirements for the
creation of a redevelopment TIF district. Although the World Headquarters project is currently on
hold, modifications to the existing PUD are proposed to facilitate parcel modifications and more
efficiently arrange land uses and ownership in the area. Specifically, Tennant Company will
essentially swap land with Damascus Way to facilitate construction of its new residential facility.
This arrangement will require the demolition of one or more buildings in the area proposed for
inclusion in a redevelopment TIF district, even though such a district has not been established. State
statute allows for demolition of blighted buildings in advance of a district establishment if a
resolution is adopted by the authority prior to demolition finding the conditions existed to qualify
the area as a redevelopment TIF district. The resolution will preserve the blight study findings for a
period of three years from the date of the first demolition. The resolution does not establish a TIF
district.

Recommended Action
Motion to adopt Resolution accepting the Report of Inspection Procedure and Results for
determining Qualification of a Tax Increment Financing District as a Redevelopment District.
Resolution No. 18-31 May 1, 2018
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE REPORT OF INSPECTION PROCEDURE
AND RESULTS FOR DETERMINING QUALIFICATION OF A TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT AS A REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
“City”), as follows:
1. Review of TIF / Redevelopment District Qualification Report. The City has
reviewed the Report of Inspection Procedures and Results for Determining Qualifications of
a Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) District as a Redevelopment District dated
September 27, 2017, and identified as Stantec Project No. 193804541 (the “TIF/
Redevelopment Qualification Report”) for a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment
District proposed to be established (the “Tennant Redevelopment District”), which report is
attached as Exhibit A. The properties to be included in the Tennant Redevelopment District
are either owned or to-be-owned by Tennant Company.
2. Findings for Approval of Tennant Redevelopment District. The City hereby makes
the following findings:
2.01. Based on the results of the TIF/Redevelopment Qualification Report, the
City finds that the properties proposed to be included in the Tennant Redevelopment
District meet the qualifications under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469,174, Subdivision
10(a).
2.02 The proposed Tennant Redevelopment District meets the “coverage test”
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 10(e), as the parcels comprising
the proposed Tennant Redevelopment District are 100% occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved drives or parking lots.
2.03 The buildings located on the parcels included in the proposed Tennant
Redevelopment District can be considered structurally substandard. 100% of the
buildings/structures located in the proposed Tennant Redevelopment District contain code
deficiencies exceeding the 15% threshold required under Minnesota Statues, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(c).
2.04 100% of the buildings/structures located in the Tennant Redevelopment
District are structurally substandard and would require substantial renovation due to
significant structural defects or deficiencies in essential utilities, light, ventilation, fire
protection, egress and other factors.
2.05 The conditions described above are reasonably distributed throughout the
proposed Tennant Redevelopment District.
2.06 The proposed Tennant Redevelopment District qualifies for establishment
as a Redevelopment District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10.
Resolution No. 18-31 -2- May 1, 2018
3. Development Agreement Required for Demolition. In the event Tennant
Company proposes to demolish or remove any of the buildings/structures located in the
proposed Tennant Redevelopment District, Tennant shall first enter into a development
agreement with the City and the City’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the
“Authority”) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10.
4. Expiration of Findings. The findings set forth in Section 2 above shall expire on
the date that is three (3) years from the date on which the Authority confirms that any
substandard building or improvements located within the Tennant Redevelopment District
and requiring demolition have been adequately demolished or removed by Tennant
Company or the owner of such substandard building or improvements.

PART 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
21 i 1*14 a601
Stantec, BWBR code analysis group, and NOVA Consulting were retained by Oppidan
Investment Company, the development consultant for Tennant Companies, Inc., to
evaluate the properties within a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment District ("TIF
District") proposed to be established by the City of Golden Valley.
BWBR code analysis group performed the onsite interior and exterior inspections to
verify existing conditions and determine code deficiencies. NOVA Consulting
performed the replacement cost estimating based on correcting the code deficiencies
found by the BWBR code analysis group.
The proposed TIF District is located in the City of Golden Valley and includes two non-
contiguous parcels. The first area includes parcels within the general area bounded by
Zane Avenue North on the west, Highway 100 on the east, Luce Line Trail on the north
and Olson Memorial Service Road on the south minus the area covered by the existing
Tennant Building on the north portion of the parcel. The second area includes the
parcel bounded by Golden Valley Road on the north, Douglas Drive North on the east,
Luce Line Trail on the south, and an adjacent parcel on the west (see Figure 1).
The purpose of Stantec's work was to review the information gathered by BWBR to
determine whether the proposed district meets the statutory requirements for
coverage, and whether buildings on six different parcels, located within the two
proposed non-contiguous TIF District Areas, meet the qualifications required for a
Redevelopment District.
Figure 1 - Proposed TIF District
Page 3
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District Area 1 is comprised of five (5) parcels and containing five (5)
commercial buildings and three residential buildings and two easements currently
owned by the City of Golden Valley. The proposed TIF District Area 2 is comprised of
one (1) parcel containing one (1) commercial building.
All the commercial buildings in the proposed district received an onsite interior and
exterior inspection by staff from BWBR.
Two of the three residential property owners would not allow an onsite interior and
exterior inspection. These buildings were only observed from the adjacent street. The
third residential building is currently part of the larger Tennant parcel and is
unoccupied. It has been deemed unsafe for habitation. Building Code and Condition
Deficiency Reports for each building are in Appendix B.
CONCLUSION
After evaluating the inspection reports prepared by BWBR and the estimated
replacement costs prepared by NOVA Consulting for the properties within the two
proposed non-contiguous TIF District Areas and applying current statutory criteria for a
Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, it is
our professional opinion that the two proposed non-contiguous TIF District Areas do
qualify as a Redevelopment District.
The remainder of this report describes the process and findings in detail.
PART 2 - MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10 REQUIREMENTS
The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, which states:
Interior Inspection
"The municipality may not make such determination [that the building is structurally
substandard] without an interior inspection of the property..."
Exterior Inspection and Other Means
"An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1)
the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its
best efforts to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property;
and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building
is structurally substandard."
Documentation
"Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was
not conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1)."

4. A. Public Hearing - Xenia Avenue South and Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project No. 16-09
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
R.J. Kakach, Assistant City, Engineer
Summary
At the March 2, 2016, Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare a feasibility report for the
Xenia Avenue South and Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project. The feasibility report for this
project has been prepared by the consulting engineering firm of WSB and Associates, Inc. and will be
presented at the public hearing. The feasibility report outlines a project that includes construction of
turn lanes and medians, sidewalks, an improved rail crossing at Golden Hills Drive, traffic signal
upgrades, and accessibility improvements.
Streets within the proposed project area are listed below:
• Xenia Avenue South from 1-394 north ramps to Laurel Avenue
• Golden Hills Drive from Colorado Avenue South to Turners Crossroad South
• Laurel Avenue from Colorado Avenue South to Turners Crossroad South
These streets will be overlaid with new pavement at the completion of the project.
The estimated total project costs are as follows:
Estimated Construction Costs = $1,025,000
Estimated 25% Indirect Costs = 320,000
Total = $1,345,000
The special assessments for the proposed project are based off of the total daily trip generation and
front footage of each adjacent property. Financing for the project was included in the Street Capital
Improvement Program (S-037) for $1.5 million. Total Assessments on the project are $700,911.32.
Staff has held meetings with affected property owners providing information regarding the project
scope and schedule, including proposed special assessment information. However since those
meetings, the proposed special assessment amounts have been reduced by approximately half of
the original amount.
This project will also utilize Municipal State Aid funding in addition to special assessments.
Additional discussion regarding project details and financing is included in the feasibility report.
Following Council authorization, the anticipated project schedule is as follows:

Feasibility Report
Xenia Avenue/Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project
Page 2 of 7
Introduction:
At its March 2, 2016 meeting, the Golden Valley City Council authorized
preparation of a feasibility report for the Xenia Avenue and Golden Hills Drive
Improvement Project. The proposed project includes street, sidewalk, and
signal improvements within the Xenia Avenue and Golden Hills Drive area.
The project involves improvements to the following streets within the project
area;
Xenia Avenue South (I-394 north ramps to Laurel Avenue)
Golden Hills Drive (Colorado Avenue South to Xenia Avenue South)
Laurel Avenue (Colorado Avenue South to Turners Crossroad)
The project will involve the following components:
Construction of Turn Lanes and Medians
Addition of Sidewalks, including ADA improvements of existing
facilities
Storm Sewer Modifications
Traffic Signal Modifications and Upgrades
Mill and overlay of bituminous pavement
Restriping
Railroad Crossing Improvements at Golden Hills Drive
There has been redevelopment in the project area with the construction of the
Arcata (located at the southeast Quadrant of Xenia and Golden Hills Drive),
The Talo Apartments (located south of Circle Down and east of Turners
Crossroad) and the Xenia (located at the northwest Quadrant of Xenia and
Golden Hills Drive). In addition, a senior housing building, Global Point
Senior Housing, located adjacent to the Talo Apartments, is set to begin
construction in the spring of 2018. These additions have necessitated
revisions to the existing infrastructure with lane and signal modifications.
The City of Golden Valley has investigated the impact from the
redevelopment on the existing system. The Xenia – Traffic Impact Study
(dated September 4, 2013), can be used to supplement this feasibility report.
This feasibility report will discuss the existing conditions and the proposed
project design. It will also include the estimated project costs, and the
proposed financing, including a special assessment roll.
LOCATION: The project is located in the Xenia Avenue/Golden Hills Drive area as shown
in Appendix A.
Feasibility Report
Xenia Avenue/Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project
Page 3 of 7
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Roadway
The project area is located just north of Interstate 394, at the southern limits
of the City of Golden Valley. The streets were originally built as part of the
construction of I-394 in the late 1980’s and modified as redevelopment
occurred in the area. The redevelopment driven modifications include some
median work in recent years, including a realignment and restriping on
northbound Xenia Avenue, leading to the intersection at Golden Hills Drive.
Below is a summary of the existing conditions of the streets located within the
project area:
Street Configurations
Xenia Avenue South (I-394 N. Ramps to Laurel Avenue):
o Xenia Avenue Southbound (Golden Hills Drive to I-394 north
ramp) includes two southbound lanes that expand to four
southbound lanes at I-394. The inner-two lanes become dual
left turn lanes at the I-394 south ramps for traffic entering 394
eastbound towards Minneapolis. There is also a right turn
lane at the 394 north ramp for traffic continuing to 394
westbound.
o Xenia Avenue Northbound (I-394 north ramp to Golden Hills
Drive) was recently modified. Initially, this section included
two through lanes from the 394 bridge with the inner through
lane proceeding into the left turn lane at Golden Hills Drive.
Recently, the inner lane was striped to align with the through
lane and the outer through lane was striped to align with the
right turn lane at Golden Hills Drive. There are dual left turn
lanes at Golden Hills Drive.
o Xenia Avenue (Golden Hills Drive to Laurel Avenue) includes
one through lane in each direction, with concrete medians and
turn lanes. The southbound configuration at Golden Hills
Drive is a left, through, through-right.
Golden Hills Drive (Colorado Avenue to Turners Crossroad): Golden
Hills Drive is primarily a 2-lane section with the inclusion of numerous
turn lanes and medians.
o At the intersection of Xenia Avenue, Golden Hills Drive
includes a left, through and right in each direction.
Laurel Avenue (Colorado Avenue to Turners Crossroad): Laurel
Avenue is a two-lane roadway with wide shoulders.
Pedestrian Facilities
The corridor includes concrete walk along a majority of the streets, however
there are areas that do not meet ADA requirements, including the crossing
areas. It is believed that the north boulevard area of Golden Hills Drive west
of the railroad tracks may contain PAH’s.

Page 4 of 7
Railroad Crossings
The Canadian Pacific Railway traverses through the west side of the project
area, crossing Golden Hills Drive and Laurel Avenue. Both crossings are
located approximately 700 feet west of Xenia Avenue.
Signalized Intersections:
The project area includes three signalized intersections.
Xenia Avenue and;
I-394 North Ramp
Golden Hills Drive
Laurel Avenue
Public Utilities
There is existing water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer located within
the project area. The water main along Xenia Avenue was replaced in 1999.
Based upon the age and condition of the existing sanitary sewer and water
systems and the nature of this improvement project, there are no anticipated
impacts to the existing City utilities.
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) owns an existing
forcemain sewer pipe that runs along Golden Hills Drive and Xenia Avenue
through the project corridor. The pipe was installed new in 2013 and is
outside of the City’s project construction limits.
Private Utilities
The following private utilities are located within the project area:
Windstream Communications
Xcel Energy
Level 3 Communications
CenterPoint Energy
CenturyLink
Consolidated Communications
Rogers Communications
AT&T
Given the project is restricted to primarily surface work, it is not anticipated to
significantly impact the private utilities.
PROPOSED Roadway
IMPROVEMENTS:
The roadway is not intended to be completely reconstructed to the subgrade,
as part of this project, but does include modification of medians and
reconfiguring lanes. The proposed improvements will accommodate existing
traffic and all new traffic from approved developments at acceptable levels of
service. The streets within the project area will receive a mill and overlay, as
Feasibility Report
Xenia Avenue/Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project
Page 5 of 7
much of the existing pavement has been impacted by redevelopment and
public improvements in the area. In addition, concrete sidewalks will be
added to the project area.
Below is a description of the proposed project components and attached is
the project layout Appendix A:
1. Xenia Avenue (I-394 to Golden Hills Drive):
Xenia Avenue will continue with the same configuration south
of Golden Hills Drive. However, to aid in the through
alignment configuration, the northbound median curb will be
reconstructed near the taper point of the dual left turn lanes.
2. Xenia Avenue (Golden Hills Drive to Laurel Avenue):
Xenia Avenue will continue with the same configuration north
of Golden Hills Drive, with the exception of closing the center
median. The southbound left turn lane into 701 Xenia Avenue
is proposed to be closed. Sidewalk will be installed along the
west side as part of the adjacent redevelopment project.
3. Golden Hills Drive (Xenia Avenue to Turners Crossroad):
Golden Hills Drive will be constructed with a median dividing
the eastbound and westbound traffic, up to the entrance of the
Arcata.
4. Golden Hills Drive (Colorado Avenue to Railroad Tracks):
A 6-foot concrete sidewalk will be added along the north side
of Golden Hills Drive.
Missing segments of concrete sidewalk will be constructed
along the south side of Golden Hills Drive.
5. Golden Hills Drive (at Railroad Tracks):
Short center medians will be placed east and west of the
railroad crossing and the railroad crossing will be
reconstructed by Canadian Pacific Railroad.
6. Golden Hills Drive (Railroad Tracks to Xenia Avenue):
A concrete median and turn lanes will be constructed along
Golden Hills Drive to separate turn lanes along the west leg of
the intersection. Sidewalk will be installed on the north side as
part of the adjacent redevelopment project.
7. Laurel Avenue (Colorado Avenue to Turners Crossroad):
No significant reconfigurations are proposed on Laurel
Avenue. It is proposed to convert the eastbound shoulder into
a dedicated bicycle and pedestrian lane. Concrete sidewalk
will be installed on the south side of the road from Xenia
Avenue to the railroad tracks as part of the adjacent
redevelopment project
8. Entire Project:
The entire project will include pedestrian facility upgrades,
including ADA compliant pedestrian ramps and walks, and
installation of push buttons and countdown timers at the
signalized intersections.

Public Utilities
Because the project is a street improvement project with no significant
subgrade excavation and due to the condition of the existing utilities, no
improvements to the City utilities are included with this project. The sanitary
sewer will be evaluated as part of the City’s ongoing I-394 Inflow & Infiltration
Lining Project.
ESTIMATED COSTS AND PROJECT FINANCING:
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST
The estimated costs for the improvements include construction costs and an
estimated 25 percent of the construction costs as indirect costs. The costs
have been summarized by the street improvements and the improvements
attributable to the developments.
Estimated Construction Costs = $ 1,025,000
Estimated 25% Indirect Costs = $ 320,000
Estimated Project Total = $ 1,345,000
PROJECT FINANCING
The proposed financing of this project is a combination of special
assessments to properties abutting the streets being improved and Municipal
State Aid Street (MSAS) Construction funds. Approximately 50 percent of the
estimated total project cost will be funded using special assessments and the
other 50 percent will utilize MSAS funds.
Meetings were conducted with the benefitting properties as shown in
Appendix C.
The proposed special assessments for the Xenia Avenue/Golden Hills Drive
Improvement Project are consistent with the City of Golden Valley Special
Assessment Policy and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The assessments
are based 65% on trip generation and 35% on roadway frontage.
The Preliminary Assessment Roll is shown in Appendix B. The following is a
summary of the amounts to be funded from each of the sources discussed
above:
Special Assessments = $ 702,000
MSAS Funds = $ 643,000
Estimated Total Project Cost = $ 1,345,000

Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Summary
The following resolution needs to be considered for the certification of special assessments for the
Xenia Avenue South and Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project.
On April 3, 2018, City Council called for the hearing for the Certification of Special Assessments
that coincides with the Xenia Avenue South and Golden Hills Drive Improvement Project. These
special assessments finance a portion of the construction of turn lanes and medians, sidewalks, an
improved rail crossing at Golden Hills Drive, traffic signal upgrades, and accessibility
improvements. The remaining costs are funded by Municipal State Aid funding.
On April 5, 2018, all property owners were mailed a hearing notice of the assessment, resolution
that will be considered, and a sample payment schedule. The mailings were sent certified and all
receipts have been returned from the post office. A legal notice was published April 12 and April
19, 2018.
Property owners will have until November 15, 2018, to make payment with no interest. After that
date, the amount will be certified and paid with property taxes at a 5% interest rate.
The Xenia Avenue South and Golden Hills Drive Improvement project includes various
improvements for streets in the following locations:
• Xenia Avenue South from I-394 north ramps to Laurel Avenue
• Golden Hills Drive from Colorado Avenue South to Turners Crossroad South
• Laurel Avenue from Colorado Avenue South to Turners Crossroad South

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
May 1, 2018
60 day deadline: May 4, 2018
Agenda Item
4. C. Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit 110, Amendment #1 - 730 Florida Avenue South -
Import Auto Sales, LLC, Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Import Auto Sales, LLC, is seeking approval of an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP-
110) to allow for automobile sales and repair at 730 Florida Avenue South in the I-394 Mixed Use
District. In this Zoning District, automobile sales and/or repair are allowed by CUP if the use
occupies more than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area. An existing CUP is in place at this
location that allows a portion of the building to be used for the repair and storage of vehicles.
Proposal
Import Auto Sales currently operates a facility in St. Louis Park, south of I-394, but intends to
relocate to Golden Valley. If approved, the applicant would renovate the interior of the building
with eight bays for automobile repair, office space for automobile sales and customer service, and
an indoor showroom for display. They anticipate selling approximately 500 vehicles per year and
providing auto service to at least two customers per day.
Inventory would be stored outdoors at this site, which would require additional landscaped
screening in order to reduce its visual impact from the street and surrounding properties. No
dealership inventory would be allowed in customer and employee parking spaces or on Florida
Avenue. Other than new signage, the exterior of the building would not change with the proposed
renovations.
The parking lot would be repaved and restriped prior to use by the applicant. There is sufficient
space to provide all of the required parking spaces; no additional paving or impervious surfaces are
necessary to accommodate the minimum parking required by Code. Four public bicycle parking
spaces are required to be located on-site.
Evaluation
The existing CUP No. 110 contains a number of conditions that are tied to the specifics of PRISM’s
operations. Many of these circumstances are no longer relevant, so the proposal by the applicant
would require the existing permit to be amended to reflect new and/or revised conditions.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on April 9, 2018, and recommended approval (4-
0). During discussion, the Commissioners suggested that the required screening be met through
the planting of vegetation and that it be reduced in height from 4 feet to 2.5-3 feet.
Staff finds that the modifications to the existing CUP in order to allow for automobile sales do not
conflict with the initial findings supporting the CUP No. 110. Specifically:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: Relocation from the applicant’s current site, less
than a mile away, indicates there is a local market for the goods and services being provided.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The automobile sales and repair uses are not
inconsistent with the Mixed Use designation on the City’s General Land Use Plan Map. These
commercial uses support the goal of locating redevelopment along major corridors and
increasing the job and tax base within the community.
3. Effect on Property Values: Staff anticipates the new uses would have no impact on the
surrounding property values and are isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips associated with the proposed uses would likely not
exceed the number of trips generated by the use previously at this location. Trips generated
from the proposed uses would not exceed the capacity of the roadways. All vehicle deliveries
and storage of inventory would be required to take place on-site and not on the street.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposed uses may generate an increase in
the number of employees and customers at the location compared to the past uses, but are
consistent with the other properties surrounding the site and the Mixed Use district.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause a significant increase
in noise levels. Automobile repair work would be conducted within an enclosed building and
would take place during normal business hours. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public
address system would be allowed.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause an increase
in dust or odor. Minimal vibrations may be associated with the auto repair use but should not
impact any adjacent uses.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed uses are not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: The visual impacts of dealership inventory stored in the parking lot will be
mitigated through the addition of screening. An exterior dumpster would be screening with
material compatible with the building.
10. Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects
of the proposed uses. The location is surrounded by automobile, warehouse, and commercial
properties and has adequate parking.
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 110, Amendment #1, subject to the
following conditions:
1. All vehicle deliveries and storage of inventory shall take place on-site and shall not take place
on the street.
2. No parking shall be allowed within any existing landscaped area.
3. The number of service bays on-site shall be limited to eight.
4. The exterior dumpster shall be screened from view and made of material compatible with the building.
5. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public address system will be allowed.
6. Additional screening shall be installed consistent with the Development Standards for parking
screening listed in the Zoning Code for the I-394 Mixed Use District. If vegetative screening is
used, the applicant must submit a landscaping plan (number of plantings, species of plantings,
etc.) to be reviewed and approved by the City Forester.
7. Snow storage shall be managed in such a way that does not jeopardize the minimum number
of parking spaces required.
This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development. Failure to comply with one of more of the above conditions shall
be grounds for revocation of the CUP.
Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with Hennepin County.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing–Amend Conditional Use Permit (CUP-110)to Allow for
Automobile Sales and Repair in the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District at
730 Florida Avenue South — Import Auto Sales, LLC, Applicant
Summary
Import Auto Sales, LLC, is seeking approval of an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP-
110)to allow for automobile sales and repair at 730 Florida Avenue South in the 1-394 Mixed Use
District. The property is zoned 1-394 Mixed Use and designated as Mixed Use on the General Land
Use Plan. In this Zoning District, automobile sales and/or repair are allowed by CUP if the use
occupies more than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area. An existing CUP is in place at this
location that allows a portion of the building to be used for the repair and storage of vehicles.
Existing Conditions
The location of the proposed uses are within a multi-tenant building (Westpark Center) on a lot
approximately 2.8 acres in size. It is bounded to the east by Florida Avenue and to the north by
Laurel Avenue. A lightly used railroad spur crosses the property to the north along Laurel Avenue.
Other automobile, commercial, and warehouse uses are located on the surrounding properties.
The total building size is roughly 51,700 square feet. The tenant on the north side of the building
(720 Florida) occupies 21,700 square feet and utilizes a parking lot to the north. The south side of
the building (730 Florida) is approximately 24,000 square feet. While the front door of 730 Florida
faces the street, the parking lot and additional access to the building is located to the south.
The space under consideration was recently vacated and previously housed the operations of
PRISM. In addition to presence of a thrift store at this location, a CUP was approved in 2005 to
allow auto repair and storage.
Proposed Use
Import Auto Sales currently operates a facility in St. Louis Park, south of 1-394, but intends to
relocate to Golden Valley. If approved, the applicant would renovate the interior of the building
with eight bays for automobile repair, office space for automobile sales and customer service,
and an indoor showroom for display. They anticipate selling approximately 500 vehicles per year
and providing auto service to at least two customers per day.
Inventory would be stored outdoors at this site, which would require additional landscaped
screening in order to reduce its visual impact from the street and surrounding properties. No
dealership inventory would be allowed in customer and employee parking spaces or on Florida
Avenue. Other than new signage, the exterior of the building would not change with the
proposed renovations.
The portion of the building under review is 24,228 square feet. The proposed uses would be
roughly distributed as shown below:
Use Type Square footage
Automobile Repair 7,800
Indoor Showroom 12,000
Sales/Customer Service 2,500
Total 221300
The mix and sizes of proposed uses in the building determine the required on-site parking:
8 automobile repair bays @ 4 spaces each 32
12,000 sq. ft. indoor showroom @ 1 space per 1,000 sq. ft. 12
2,500 sq. ft. office @ 1 space per 250 sq. ft. 10
Required spaces = 54
The parking lot will be repaved and restriped prior to use by the applicant. There is sufficient
space to provide all of the required parking spaces; no additional paving or impervious surfaces
are necessary to accommodate the minimum parking required by Code. Four public bicycle
parking spaces are required to be located on-site.
Hours of operation for sales would be:
Monday—Thursday 9 am to 8 pm
Friday 9 am to 6 pm
Saturday 9 am to 5 pm
Hours of operation for auto repair would be:
Monday— Friday 8 am to 6 pm
Saturday 8 am to 2 pm
Given the commercial/industrial nature of the surrounding properties, there does not appear to
be any anticipated problems with the hours being proposed.

of the proposed uses. The location is surrounded by automobile, warehouse, and commercial
properties and has adequate parking.
Site Plan Review
City Code requires that a site plan review be performed by the Planning Commission prior to the
issuance of a zoning certificate (in this case, a Conditional Use Permit) for any proposed use in the
1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District.
3
Site plan review standards were established in the 1-394 Mixed Use Zoning District to promote
development that is compatible with nearby properties, neighborhood character and natural
features, and consistent with the comprehensive plan and/or area plans adopted by the City
Council. The regulations recognize the unique character of land and development throughout the
City and the need for flexibility in site plan review, allowing the Planning Commission discretion in
reviewing site plans.
Purposes of Site Plan Review:
• Minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflict
• Promote public safety
• Encourage a high quality of development
Development Standards for 730 Florida Avenue South:
• Parking location and screening
• Pedestrian circulation
Analysis
Parking Location and Screening: Development standards for the 1-394 Mixed Use district require
parking areas be screened from public streets with a landscaped frontage strip. This frontage strip
may consist of either a masonry wall, berm or hedge, or combination that forms a screen between
3.5 and 4 feet in height with 50% opacity.
The existing parking area to the south of the building is partially screened with two mature trees.
Additional screening between the access drives along the east property line would improve the
existing conditions by screening automobiles from site. The existing and proposed screening will
help reduce pedestrian and vehicular conflict as it acts as a traffic calming mechanism; additionally,
vehicular travel in and out of the parking lot should be minimal.
Staff recommends additional screening along the east edge of the parking area consistent with the
development guidelines of the I-394 Mixed Use district.
Pedestrian Circulation: Import Auto Sales does not propose modifications to the existing building
exterior or parking lot, except restriping the existing parking spaces. The development standards for
the 1-394 Mixed Use district states that sidewalks shall be required along all street frontages, and
sidewalk and trail design shall be consistent with the sidewalks proposed in the City's
Comprehensive Plan. A sidewalk is already in place along Florida Avenue.
The development standards for the 1-394 Mixed Use district require a well-defined, landscaped
pedestrian path from the sidewalk to each principal customer/resident entrance of a building. The
existing pedestrian path is landscaped.
Staff does not recommend additional landscaping for the customer entrance of the building.
4
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of amended Conditional Use Permit 110 allowing for automobile
sales and repair at 730 Florida Avenue South. The approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. All vehicle deliveries and storage of inventory shall take place on-site and shall not take place
on the street.
2. No parking shall be allowed within any existing landscaped area.
3. The number of service bays on-site shall be limited to eight.
4. The exterior dumpster shall be screened from view and made of material compatible with the
building.
5. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public address system will be allowed.
6. Additional screening shall be installed consistent with the Development Standards for parking
screening listed in the Zoning Code for the 1-394 Mixed Use District. If vegetative screening is
used, the applicant must submit a landscaping plan (number of plantings, species of plantings,
etc.) to be reviewed and approved by the City Forester.
This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development. Failure to comply with one of more of the above conditions
shall be grounds for revocation of the CUP.
Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with Hennepin
County.

3. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit— 730 Florida Avenue —
CU-110 — Amendment #1
Applicant: Import Auto Sales, LLC
Address: 730 Florida Avenue South
Purpose: To allow used motor vehicle sales and automotive repair in the 1-394
Mixed Use Zoning District
Zimmerman noted that this property is a multi-tenant building at the corner of Laurel and
Florida Avenues. He explained that the applicant is requesting to amend an existing
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow auto sales and repair in the 1-394 Mixed Use zoning
district. He stated that the existing CUP allows for limited auto repair and that the 1-394
Mixed Use zoning district allows auto sales and repair with a CUP for uses occupying more
than 10,000 square feet.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 9, 2018
Page 4
Zimmerman discussed the existing conditions and stated that this is the former site of
PRISM, and is a 2.8 acre site with a building footprint of approximately 51,700 square feet
total. 730 Florida Avenue occupies approximately 24,000 square feet and the parking lot is
located on the south half of the lot.
Zimmerman stated that the applicant is proposing to construct eight bays for auto repair,
and indoor showroom for display, and an office space for customer service. He noted that
prior to occupancy, the parking lot would be resurfaced and restriped and that there will be
no changes to the exterior of the building except for new signage. He explained that the
hours for sales would be Monday-Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, Saturday 9 am to 6 pm and
Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. The hours for auto repair would be Monday-Friday 8 am to 6 pm and
Saturday 8 am to 2 pm. He stated that the applicant anticipates 500 auto sales per year
and at least two service customers per day.
Zimmerman referred to the parking requirements and stated that the required number of
vehicle parking spaces is 54, and the number of required bicycle spaces is four. He stated
that the previous CUP suggests that there is room for approximately 84 parking spaces so
there should be plenty of capacity to handle the required parking. He stated that staff is
recommending approval of this CUP amendment as it meets the factors listed in Code used
when evaluating Conditional Use Permits.
Zimmerman stated that because this property is in the 1-394 Mixed Use zoning district a site
plan review is required. He referred to pedestrian circulation and noted that sidewalk along
Florida Ave is already installed and that a defined, landscaped path to the principal
entrance already exists. He referred to parking location and screening and stated that
additional screening, either vegetative or fencing, of the parking lot/inventory storage is
required.
Segelbaum said he knows PRISM hasn't serviced vehicles at this location for several years
and asked if the existing CUP carries on with this new tenant. Zimmerman stated that the
CUP is tied to the land and is still in force. Since the applicant is proposing to expand the
use it is triggering the need for this CUP amendment.
Segelbaum asked if the 1-394 Mixed Use zoning district has any other additional
requirements. Zimmerman said that if the applicant was tearing the building down there
would be more requirements, but they aren't.
Segelbaum noted that Zimmerman said the screening could be vegetative or fencing, but
he recalls that the City wants to enhance vegetative screening. Zimmerman stated that the
Code isn't specific about the type of screening used, but the Planning Commission could
encourage the applicant to use natural screening. Waldhauser said she didn't think the City
wanted to encourage screening for auto dealerships because the cars need to be seen.
She said she thought the screening requirements applied more for employee parking or
other parking lots. Zimmerman said the City has been requiring screening for auto
dealership inventory. Waldhauser said she thinks screening is more of a concern if a
dealership faces a residential area and this does not.

Radu Krisshmaru, Applicant, said he has been in this business for a long time in several
different cities. He stated that the property will be much better looking and that he will
screen the parking lot if required. He questioned how far the screening would have to be
from the parking lot because there isn't much space for snow storage. Craig Gass,
Counselor Realty, added that they could also do some natural landscaping.
Segelbaum asked the applicant if he will be selling new or used cars. Krisshmaru said he
sells newer, used vehicles and that they like to keep a nice, clean looking property.
Segelbaum referred to the number of parking spaces available and asked the applicant if
he intends to have 60 cars in inventory. Krisshmaru said there will be 60 cars outside and
some in the indoor showroom too.
Segelbaum asked the applicant if he intends to add signage. Krisshmaru said he will follow
the City's codes regarding signage.
Waldhauser referred to the lighting in the parking lot and asked the applicant if he will need
different lighting than what is there currently. Krisshmaru said he doesn't think he'll need to
add more lighting except for maybe some in the back of the building. Zimmerman stated
that the lighting can be kept as is, but if the applicant changes fixtures then the Code
requirements would apply.
Blum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Blum
closed the public hearing.
Blum referred to the screening of the parking lot and asked about the differences between
other dealerships and what will be required with this applicant. Zimmerman discussed what
was required with the last few auto dealerships and reiterated that the Code just states that
parking lots shall be screened. Blum asked if the Planning Commission can recommend
something specific regarding screening. Zimmerman said yes, the Code says the City may
permit alternative approaches that meet the intent of the Code. Brookins asked if there are
requirements or limitations regarding gates at the entrance. Zimmerman said no, and
added that gates are used more for inventory areas, than sales areas. Blum asked how far
the screening has to be from the parking lot. Zimmerman said the Code doesn't give a
distance, but the closer the screening is to the street, the better it would be for blocking the
view of vehicles.
Segelbaum asked about snow storage and removal requirements. Zimmerman said the
Code doesn't specify, but there should be enough room on this site for snow storage.
Segelbaum asked if there are places snow can't be stored. Zimmerman said typically the
City doesn't want to see snow stored on top of sensitive landscaping.
Black noted that there are 54 required parking space and that they are expecting to have
84 parking spaces asked if the applicant would be allowed to have more than 30 cars in
inventory at one time. Zimmerman said if there is sufficient space on site, it is left up to the
business owner to make sure they have enough parking spaces on their site for their
customers. Blum agreed that he wants to make sure there is enough parking for staff and
customers. Segelbaum said he has concerns about snow storage as well. Zimmerman
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Page 6
clarified that the conditions the City can attach to a CUP are things that reasonably mitigate
the concerns the City might have in regard to the use of the property. He stated that a
condition of approval could state that snow shall be stored or removed in way that doesn't
jeopardize the minimum number of required parking spaces on the site.
Brookins referred to the discussion regarding screening and said he is indifferent about
what type of screening should be allowed and he is open to variations. Blum asked
Brookins if he would distinguish between parking for storage and parking for customers or
staff. Brookins said no, he wouldn't distinguish between the two. Waldhauser said she
would prefer green screening that includes some grasses and small shrubs. Segelbaum,
Blum, and Brookins agreed. Zimmerman noted that the standards in the Code require four
feet of screening and asked if the Planning Commission is comfortable with something less
than that. Waldhauser recommended 2.5 to 3 feet in height. Segelbaum said it is hard to
decide without seeing a specific plan. Blum said it seems reasonable to go with what the
Code prescribes. Segelbaum suggested the applicant show a plan to Council if they'd like
to do something less than what the Code requires. Brookins said he would be comfortable
with staff reviewing the screening plans with the recommendation that the screening should
exceed 2.5 feet in height.
MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #110, Amendment #1 subject to the
following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. Relocation from the applicant's current site, less than a mile away, indicates there is
a local market for the goods and services being provided.
2. The automobile sales and repair uses are not inconsistent with the Mixed Use
designation on the City's General Land Use Plan Map. These commercial uses
support the goal of locating redevelopment along major corridors and increasing the
job and tax base within the community.
3. Staff anticipates the new uses would have no impact on the surrounding property
values and are isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed uses would likely not exceed the
number of trips generated by the use previously at this location. Trips generated
from the proposed uses would not exceed the capacity of the roadways. All vehicle
deliveries and storage of inventory would be required to take place on-site and not
on the street.
5. The proposed uses may generate an increase in the number of employees and
customers at the location compared to the past uses, but are consistent with the
other properties surrounding the site and the Mixed Use district.
6. The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause a significant increase in noise
levels. Automobile repair work would be conducted within an enclosed building and
would take place during normal business hours. No outside music, loudspeakers, or
public address system would be allowed.
7. The proposed uses are not anticipated to cause an increase in dust or odor. Minimal
vibrations may be associated with the auto repair use but should not impact any
adjacent uses.

8. The proposed uses are not anticipated to attract pests.
9. The visual impacts of dealership inventory stored in the parking lot will be mitigated
through the addition of screening. An exterior dumpster would be screening with
material compatible with the building.
10.Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed uses. The
location is surrounded by automobile, warehouse, and commercial properties and
has adequate parking.
Conditions-
1.
onditions:1. All vehicle deliveries and storage of inventory shall take place on-site and shall not
take place on the street.
2. No parking shall be allowed within any existing landscaped area.
3. The number of service bays on-site shall be limited to eight.
4. The exterior dumpster shall be screened from view and made of material compatible
with the building.
5. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public address system will be allowed.
6. Additional screening shall be installed consistent with the Development Standards
for parking screening listed in the Zoning Code for the 1-394 Mixed Use District. If
vegetative screening is used, the applicant must submit a landscaping plan (number
of plantings, species of plantings, etc.) to be reviewed and approved by the City
Forester. The applicant shall explore, with the City Council and staff, ways in which
they can enhance the beauty of the site in exchange for a reduction in the required
height of the parking lot screening.
7. Snow storage shall be such that it maintains the minimum number of required
parking spaces.

Agenda Item
4. D. Public Hearing - Tennant Companies PUD No. 114, Amendment #3 - 701 Lilac Drive North -
Transform Minnesota, Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Transform Minnesota is applying for a Major Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment in
order to modify the current boundary of Tennant Companies PUD No. 114. Doing so would create
an area of land that would then become available for the construction of a relocated Damascus
Way facility one-quarter mile to the west of its current site. Tennant intends to purchase the
property on which the existing facility sits and clear the site in anticipation of future campus
redevelopment.
Proposal
The modified PUD boundary would be replatted to exclude a new three-quarters of an acre parcel
(Lot 2) in the area previously known as 5808 Olson Memorial Highway. In addition, a small portion
of right-of-way currently controlled by the City (previously held by MnDOT) would be added to the
new parcel. Modifications to existing drainage and utility easements and a portion of a public street
providing access to two single-family lots would also be necessary.
Evaluation
Staff supports the proposed modification to the PUD boundary in order to advance the
redevelopment plans for this part of the city. The removal of Lot 2 from the existing PUD allows it
to be utilized by a new and expanded Damascus Way and allows the old facility to be demolished.
This would create a greater area of contiguous land for future redevelopment in a highly visible
location at the intersection of two major highways.
A future modification and amendment to the Tennant PUD would be necessary in order to finish
consolidating and developing this area.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on April 9, 2018, and recommended approval
(4-0).
Staff finds that the modification to the existing PUD boundary in order to remove an area of land
sufficient to support a relocated Damascus Way facility does not conflict with the initial findings
supporting Tennant Companies PUD No. 114. Specifically:
1. Quality Site Planning. The modifications do not negatively impact the overall quality of the
site, and in fact advance the opportunity for planned improvements to the Tennant Campus
by clearing land for future redevelopment.
2. Preservation. The lot being created contains a vacant single-family home, so no significant
impacts to desirable portions of the site’s characteristics are likely.
3. Efficient – Effective. The proposed amendment would utilize land efficiently by concentrating
ongoing uses within one portion of the site and creating opportunities for future
redevelopment, allowing for continued growth of the City’s tax base.
4. Consistency. The uses being proposed are consistent with the current uses on the site and
with the City’s Comprehensive Plan which calls for the preservation and expansion of facilities
housing major employers; consistent with other redevelopment goals of the City such as the
revitalization of the Douglas Drive Corridor; and would help bring order to an area that is
currently a mix of uses and zoning designations and that lacks cohesion.
5. General Health. The PUD amendment would not impact the general health, safety, or welfare
of the people of the City.
6. Meets Requirements. The proposed modification does not conflict with the standards
applied to the existing PUD and does not invalidate the Intent and Purpose provision of the
City Code.
Staff recommends approval of Tennant Companies PUD No. 114, Amendment #3, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering Division,
dated April 5, 2018, shall become a part of this approval.
2. Easements identified within section one of the Engineering memo (Preliminary Plat) shall be
vacated, rededicated, or created as described and included on the Final Plat.
3. The Development Agreement for PUD No. 114 shall be amended to address the timing of
construction of the required stormwater treatment system for the existing Tennant campus and
for the new Lot 2.
4. A park dedication fee of $10,044 shall be required prior to the release of the Final Plat.
This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development. Failure to comply with one of more of the above conditions
shall be grounds for revocation of the CUP.

MEMORANDUM

Date: April 9, 2018
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Tennant Companies PUD No. 114,Amendment#3—701
Lilac Drive North —Transform Minnesota, Applicant
Summary
Transform Minnesota is applying for a Major Planned Unit Development (PUD)Amendment in
order to modify the current boundary of the Tennant Companies PUD No. 114. Doing so would
create an area of land that would then become available for the construction of a relocated
Damascus Way facility one-quarter mile to the west of its current site. Tennant intends to purchase
the property on which the existing facility sits and clear the site in anticipation of future campus
redevelopment.
Background
PUD No. 114 was created in 2014 and consolidated a number of Tennant-owned properties,
including the main plant (Plant One) at 701 Lilac Drive North. This master plan allowed the City to
work with Tennant to connect various parts of their campus with sidewalks and trails, design a
stormwater management system to address water quality, make needed investments to the fire
protection system, and improve fire access to all parts of the site. A planned Phase 2 of the campus
project envisioned a three story, 45,000 square foot office building to house employees currently
located at 1111 Douglas Drive.
A number of nearby parcels not owned by Tennant remained outside of the PUD boundary,
including two office buildings housing Clark Engineering, the Damascus Way facility, and two single
family homes.
Early in 2017, Tennant approached the City with the idea of increasing the size of the planned
office building and incorporating additional properties into the PUD. The company had recently
purchased the vacant Clark Engineering office buildings and was exploring the possibility of
acquiring excess MnDOT right-of-way along Lilac Drive. In order to clear an area large enough to
accommodate a larger office building and a parking ramp, they approached Damascus Way to
1
present the idea of relocating the facility to the west onto land Tennant already owned. This
concept advanced through the Planning Commission in October of 2017 but stalled prior to
consideration by the City Council. A scaled back version of this concept,which would involve only
the Damascus Way relocation, is being proposed at this time as Amendment#3.
Existing Conditions
The size of the current Tennant PUD is roughly 26 acres. It is bounded on the east by Lilac Drive
North and Highway 100, on the south by the frontage road and Olson Memorial Highway, to the
west by Zane Avenue, and to the north by the Luce Line Regional Trail and tracks belonging to the
Union Pacific Railroad.
The existing Damascus Way facility sits just north of the frontage road at 5730 Olson Memorial
Highway on a 1.46 acre parcel. A vacant single-family home currently occupies the site where the
new Damascus Way would be located.

Proposal
The modified PUD boundary would be replatted to exclude a new three-quarters of an acre parcel
(Lot 2) in the area previously known at 5808 Olson Memorial Highway. In addition, a small portion
of the right-of-way currently controlled by the City (previously held by MnDOT) would be added to
the new parcel. Modifications to existing drainage and utility easements and a portion of a public
street providing access to two single-family lots would also be necessary. These areas are shown in
the attached Exhibits 1-3.

Proposed PUD boundary creating Lot 2
The future use of Lot 2 has already been reviewed and recommended to be guided for Medium
Density Residential use by the Planning Commission on October 23, 2017. At the same meeting, the
Planning Commission recommended the area be rezoned as Medium Density (R-3) Residential.
3
Finally, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)to
allow the operation of a Residential Facility (the new Damascus Way) in this location.
No pedestrian access is currently shown between Zane Avenue and the new facility located to the
east. As part of the CUP, the Planning Commission recommended a sidewalk be installed to provide
a connection to the sidewalk that exists along the frontage road on the west side of Zane Avenue.
Neighborhood Meeting
Notices documenting the larger Tennant campus project were sent to property owners within 500
feet of the site and a neighborhood meeting was held on September 7, 2017. One person attended
(the property owner of 5806 Olson Memorial Highway). A second neighborhood meeting was
determined to be unnecessary in light of the scope of the revised proposal.
Staff Review
Planning staff supports the proposed modification to the PUD boundary in order to advance the
redevelopment plans for this part of the city. The removal of the lot from the existing PUD allows it
to be utilized by a new and expanded Damascus Way and allows the old facility to be demolished.
This would create a greater area of contiguous land for future redevelopment in a highly visible
location at the intersection of two major highways.
A future modification and amendment to the Tennant PUD would be necessary in order to finish
consolidating and developing this area.
Engineering and Fire Safety Considerations
As is standard practice for development proposals, plans were reviewed by the City's Engineering
Division. A memorandum from the City Engineer that addresses the preliminary plat, demolition,
site plan and access, sidewalks and trails, utility plans, stormwater management, tree and
landscape plans, and other permits is attached.
The City will require as conditions of approval that a variety of easements be adjusted in and
around the new Lot 2 in order to protect access to utilities and to preserve space for new
pedestrian facilities, and that the existing Development Agreement be amended to address the
timing of construction of the required stormwater treatment system to serve the existing campus
and the new Lot 2.
The Fire Department reviewed this proposal and had no comments or concerns.
Fees
A park dedication fee equivalent to 6 percent of the estimated land value of the newly created
parcel (Lot 2) will be required prior to the release of the Final Plat.

Evaluation
Staff finds that the modification to the existing PUD boundary in order to remove an area of land
sufficient to support a relocated Damascus Way facility does not conflict with the initial findings
supporting the Tennant Companies PUD No. 114. Specifically:
I. Quality Site Planning. The modifications do not negatively impact the overall quality of the
site, and in fact advance the opportunity for planned improvements to the Tennant Campus
by clearing land for future redevelopment.
2. Preservation. The lot being created previously contained a single-family home, so no
significant impacts to desirable portions of the site's characteristics are likely.
3. Efficient—Effective. The proposed amendment would utilize land efficiently by concentrating
ongoing uses within one portion of the site and creating opportunities for future
redevelopment, allowing for continued growth of the City's tax base.
4. Consistency. The uses being proposed are consistent with the current uses on the site and
with the City's Comprehensive Plan which calls for the preservation and expansion of facilities
housing major employers; consistent with other redevelopment goals of the City such as the
revitalization of the Douglas Drive Corridor; and would help bring order to an area that is
currently a mix of uses and zoning designations and that lacks cohesion.
5. General Health. The PUD amendment would not impact the general health, safety, or welfare
of the people of the City.
6. Meets Requirements. The proposed modification does not conflict with the standards
applied to the existing PUD and does not invalidate the Intent and Purpose provision of the
City Code.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Amendment#3 to Tennant Companies PUD No. 114, subject to
the following conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering Division,
dated April 5, 2018, shall become a part of this approval.
2. Easements identified within section one of the Engineering memo (Preliminary Plat) shall be
vacated, rededicated, or created as described and included on the Final Plat.

construction of the required stormwater treatment system for the existing Tennant campus and
the new Lot 2.
4. A park dedication fee of$10,044 shall be required prior to the release of the Final Plat.
5. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Major PUD Amendment— 701 Lilac Drive —
Tennant PUD #114 — PU114-A3
Applicant: Transform Minnesota (Damascus Way)
Address: 701 Lilac Drive
Purpose: To modify the boundary of the existing Tennant PUD
Zimmerman reminded the Commission that they reviewed a Tennant PUD Amendment
proposal back in October. He explained that a number of the applicant's land use proposals
have been withdrawn, but the Damascus Way portion of the proposal which involves
removing Damascus from the Tennant PUD is moving forward.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan and aerial photos of the property and explained that the
applicant is proposing to relocate the Damascus Way facility to the west, outside of the
PUD, where a vacant house currently sits. He noted that the Planning Commission already
recommended approval of a land use change, a zoning change, and a Conditional Use
Permit for Damascus Way. Zimmerman referred to a drawing showing easements and
explained that some of them will need to be vacated, rededicated, or created as part of the
Final plat. He stated that staff is recommending approval of the PUD Amendment because
all six of the necessary findings have been met.

Waldhauser asked if the current Damascus Way property is being incorporated into the
Tennant PUD. Zimmerman said not yet, Tennant would own the property, and will add it to
the PUD in the future.
Black referred to staff's condition regarding stormwater management and asked why
Tennant will be responsible when they are not the applicant in this proposal. Zimmerman
stated that Tennant is involved in the PUD agreement for the entire PUD and that
stormwater management issues are still being negotiated.
Segelbaum asked if this proposal is subject to the PUD amenity point requirements.
Zimmerman said no, currently the public amenity points are only required with the creation
of a new PUD, not a PUD amendment.
Segelbaum asked if staff attended the neighborhood meeting. Zimmerman said he did, and
one neighbor who lives to the north of the proposed Damascus Way site also attended.
Blum asked why the right-of-way to the south is being attached to the new Damascus Way
parcel. Zimmerman stated that it is right-of-way that the City and MnDOT don't want or
need. He referred to an aerial photo and showed how it will be used for a sidewalk
connection in the future. Waldhauser questioned why Tennant isn't getting additional right-
of-way on their other properties along the frontage road for the future sidewalk. Zimmerman
stated that right-of-way will eventually be required for sidewalk as Tennant's PUD proposal
moves forward.
Drew Johnson, Oppidan Investment Company, helping facilitate on behalf of Damascus
Way and Tennant, stated he is in agreement with staff's conditions subject to working out
some of the stormwater issues and how the two parcels relate regarding stormwater.
Blum opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Blum
closed the public hearing.
Waldhauser said it seems like this is a small advancement on the larger Tennant PUD
proposal they've already discussed. Segelbaum agreed and said it satisfies the
requirements and provides benefits in that it makes the PUD more consistent and less of a
hodge podge of different properties so he is in favor of this proposal. Blum agreed and said
this is a good way for the City to be a partner with property owners and to add some value
to the property.
MOVED by Brookins, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of a Major PUD Amendment plan for Tennant Companies PUD No. 114,
Amendment #3 subject to the following findings and conditions:

Date: April 5, 2018
To: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
From: Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Development and Assets Coordinator
Subject: PUD 114 Amendment—Damascus Way
Engineering staff reviewed the application to subdivide a portion of Tennant's Lot 1 to create a
new parcel for the relocated Damascus Way facility. Lot 1 will continue to contain Tennant's
existing industrial buildings and Lot 2 will contain the relocated Damascus Way. Comments are
based on plans dated March 23, 2018.
1. Preliminary Plat
a. Easements- Portions of public easements located within the boundary of
proposed Lot 2, dedicated as part of the plat of Tennant Companies PUD No 114,
will be vacated and rededicated as part of the new plat to better align with the
proposed lot lines. In general,the new easements must be a minimum of 10 feet
in width along rights-of-way and plat boundaries, and twelve feet in width
centered on all interior lot lines. However,there are areas where larger easements
will be required. A drainage and utility easement 30 feet in width is required along
the boundary with the Frontage Road to accommodate the existing utilities that
are present. Staff will work with the developer on the specific details of the
easement requirements before final plat consideration.
b. Tract E-Tract E of Registered Land Survey No 11 is a 60-foot wide parcel that is
entirely covered by easements which run in favor of the City, including a sanitary
sewer easement, a drainage and utility easement and a right-of-way/roadway
easement. There is currently a public roadway and public utilities within Tract E.
The single family home on Tract C located at 5806 Olson Memorial Highway is not
part of the PUD and will remain in place. Portions of the public easements located
within the boundary of proposed Lot 2 will be vacated and rededicated as part of
the new plat to accommodate the relocated Damascus Way while still providing
access and utility service to other properties. The applicant must provide legal
descriptions and exhibits for all easements and easement vacations.
G:\Developments-Private\Tennant-701 Lilac Dr\PUD Amendement-Damascus 2018\Tennant PUD Amend Damascus040518.docx
c. Trail and Walkway Easements—In addition to standard platted easements, trail
and walkway easements a minimum of 10 feet in width must be dedicated along
Zane Avenue, the Frontage Road, and Lilac Drive for planned and future bike and
pedestrian facilities. The applicant must provide legal descriptions and exhibits to
the City for completion of the walkway easements. The City will draft the
easements and record the documents with Hennepin County.
d. Right-of-Way vacation—A portion of the proposed Lot 2 extends south into the
Frontage Road right-of-way. In order to accommodate the Damascus Way
relocation,the City will vacate a portion of this right-of-way and retain public
easements over the vacated area.
e. The proposed PUD amendment borders Highways 55 and Highway 100 and
therefore must be reviewed by MnDOT.
f. There are existing sanitary sewer easements that run across the southern portions
of the PUD. These easements run in favor of Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services (MCES), which owns and operates two sanitary sewer forcemains within
the right-of-way for Olson Memorial Highway North Frontage road. Trees and
shrubs must not be planted within easements or above MCES forcemains, and
MCES does not allow gravity connections to its forcemains. The PUD must be
reviewed in more detail by the MCES for potential impacts to its facilities and
easements.
2. Demolition—The plans indicate that the existing single family home at 5808 Olson
Memorial Highway and the existing Damascus Way facility will be demolished as part of
this project. All foundations, pavements, driveways, utilities, and other facilities must be
completely removed and wells properly abandoned as part of the demolition. Permits
from the City and other public entities must be obtained, and evidence of proper MPCA
notifications must be submitted, prior to starting any demolition work. Demolition
requires a number of permits, including but not limited to, building permit and demolition
checklist, sewer and water cutoff permits, stormwater management permit, tree and
landscape permit, and right-of-way management permits. Staff in the Physical
Development Department can assist the contractor in determining all requirements prior
to issuance of permits.
3. Site Plan and Access-The relocated Damascus Way will continue to have its own
driveway access onto the Frontage Road. Driveways must be constructed with commercial
aprons according to City standards and specifications. A right-of-way management permit
is required for driveway construction and removals. As a reminder, in order to protect the
City's investment in its infrastructure, no pavements cuts or excavations are allowed
between November 1 and the date that spring load restrictions are lifted by MnDOT.
4. Sidewalks and Trails- A sidewalk connection from Zane Avenue to the relocated
Damascus Way must be constructed by the applicant as part of the PUD Amendment. The
sidewalk must extend from Zane Avenue, across the Damascus Way property, to the
GADevelopments-Private\Tennant-701 Lilac Dr\PUD Amendement-Damascus 2018\Tennant PUD
Am end_Damascus040518.docx2
public street within Tract E. The walk and curb ramps must be constructed to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility guidelines and City engineering
standards. Following construction,the sidewalk will be owned and maintained by the City.
5. Utility Plan—Prior to the issuance of any permits, the applicant must submit a utility plan
for review and approval by the Physical Development Department. The utility plan must
show services extending to Damascus from the mains located within Tract E.
a. Inflow and Infiltration (1/1) -The City has a Sanitary Sewer 1/1 Reduction Ordinance
to reduce the amount of clear water entering the sewer system. All buildings and
sewer services within the PUD are subject to the City's 1/1 Ordinance and must
obtain a certificate of compliance. Any unused services adjacent to the PUD must
be removed as part of this work. All new or rehabilitated sewer services must be
inspected by the City after construction, and must achieve compliance with the
City's 1/1 Ordinance, prior to occupancy of any new buildings.
b. A City right-of-way management permit is required for all excavations and
obstructions within public right-of-way and easements. The details and extent of
the street restoration will be determined by the City Engineer at the time of
permitting. As a reminder, in order to protect the City's investment in its
infrastructure, no pavements cuts or excavations are allowed between November
1 and the date that spring load restrictions are lifted by MnDOT
6. Stormwater Management—In 2014, the City approved Tennant's plans for PUD 114 and a
PUD Development Agreement was executed for the phased development of Tennant's
corporate campus. The agreement outlines a number of improvements that needed to be
made within a certain timeframe, including a requirement to construct a stormwater
treatment system to serve the existing campus. The plans for the stormwater treatment
system were put on hold in 2017, when Tennant proposed a new plan for its campus
headquarters.
The 2017 proposal, had it moved forward, included comprehensive stormwater
improvements that would have satisfied the requirements outlined in 2014, and would
have also treated stormwater from the relocated Damascus Way site. However, the
campus headquarters project is currently on hold. While the size and scope of the
Damascus Way relocation project on its own does not meet the requirements for review
by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC), when coupled with
Tennant's 2014 stormwater obligations and its future campus plans, it is evident that the
relocated Damascus Way is part of a common plan of development that requires
stormwater quality treatment.
Therefore, staff recommends that the approval of this PUD Amendment include a
condition that Tennant construct its 2014 stormwater treatment obligations as well as
stormwater treatment for Damascus Way, or begin construction of the new campus
headquarters stormwater improvements, within two years of approval of this PUD
GADevelopments-Private\Tennant-701 Lilac Dr\PUD Amendement-Damascus 2018\Tennant PUD
Am end_Dam ascus040518.docx3
Amendment. This work shall be guaranteed by a financial security in the amount of 125%
of the estimated cost to construct the stormwater improvements. Staff will discuss this
further with the applicant and include this condition in the amended PUD Development
Agreement for City Council's consideration.
Additional comments regarding the stormwater management plan follow:
a. As discussed above, development of the Tennant campus headquarters must
include stormwater treatment and associated infrastructure for the relocated
Damascus Way. This infrastructure must be included in the plans and constructed
as part of the Damascus Way project. The storm sewer connection from Damascus
to Tennant will likely travel under and across the roadway easement on Tract E,
but the system will be owned and maintained by the property owners. The
ownership and maintenance of the pipe must be outlined in an agreement
between the property owners and executed at the time of development of the
Damascus Way site, with a copy of the agreement provided to the City. The City
will not own or maintain this storm sewer system.
b. The PUD is located within the Sweeney Lake sub-watershed of the Bassett Creek
Watershed. Sweeney Lake is downstream of this site and is listed as an impaired
water for excess nutrients (phosphorus) and chloride by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study was completed for the
lake and approved in 2011. The study lists implementation strategies such as
filtration/infiltration practices and street sweeping that can be incorporated into
development projects. The applicant must incorporate stormwater best
management practices into the design and maintenance of this site to help
achieve water quality goals for the lake.
c. A City Stormwater Management Permit is required for development of this site.
The application must include the fee, financial security, and a stormwater plan
meeting the City's standards. Staff also recommends the preparation of a
sweeping plan and chloride management plan as part of the submittal. If
applicable, a maintenance agreement between the owner and the City, outlining
ownership and maintenance responsibilities, must be executed before the
issuance of permits.
7. Tree and Landscape Plan—A Tree and Landscape Permit is required for development of
this site and must be issued before beginning any work onsite, including demolition. The
applicant/developer must submit a tree survey and tabular inventory showing significant
and legacy trees present on the site, and a plan showing trees and vegetation to be
removed, protected, and planted. Staff encourages site design that retains existing
healthy trees and vegetation whenever feasible. Consistent with the City's natural
resource management 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. The City Forester will review
the inventory and plan in more detail at the time of permitting.
GADevelopments-Private\Tennant-701 Lilac Dr\PUD Amendement-Damascus 2018\Tennant PUD
Am end_Dam ascus04O518.docx4
8. Permits-The Developer must obtain all appropriate permits from the City and other
governmental entities, including but not limited to Stormwater Management, Right-of-
Way Management,Tree and Landscape, Sewer and Water, and other permits that may be
required for development of this site.
Recommendation
Engineering staff recommends approval of the Tennant PUD Amendment subject to the
conditions set forth by the Planning Division and 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 report.

ORDINANCE NO. 634, 2ND SERIES
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
Approval of Major PUD Amendment Plan
Tennant Companies P.U.D. No. 114, Amendment #3
Transform Minnesota, Applicant
The City Council for the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code Chapter 11 entitled “Land Use Regulations (Zoning)” is
amended in Section 11.10, Subd. 2, and Section 11.55, by approving a Major PUD
Amendment Plan to Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) 114 thereby allowing the
modification of the current PUD boundary in order to create a new area of land that
would allow for the relocation of the existing Damascus Way facility.
This PUD is subject to all of the terms of the permit to be issued including, but
not limited to the following specific conditions:
1. The recommendations and requirements outlined in the memo from the Engineering
Division, dated April 5, 2018, shall become a part of this approval.
2. Easements identified within section one of the Engineering memo (Preliminary Plat) shall
be vacated, rededicated, or created as described and included on the Final Plat.
3. The Development Agreement for PUD No. 114 shall be amended to address the timing
of construction of the required stormwater treatment system for the existing Tennant
campus and the new Lot 2.
4. A park dedication fee of $10,044 shall be required prior to the release of the Final Plat.
5. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations,
or laws with authority over this development.
In addition the Council makes the following findings pursuant to City Code
Section 11.55, Subd. 6(Q):
1. The modifications do not negatively impact the overall quality of the site, and in fact
advance the opportunity for planned improvements to the Tennant Campus by
clearing land for future redevelopment.
2. The lot being created previously contained a single-family home, so no significant
impacts to desirable portions of the site’s characteristics are likely.
3. The proposed amendment would utilize land efficiently by concentrating ongoing
uses within one portion of the site and creating opportunities for future
redevelopment, allowing for continued growth of the City’s tax base.
4. The uses being proposed are consistent with the current uses on the site and with
the City’s Comprehensive Plan which calls for the preservation and expansion of
facilities housing major employers; consistent with other redevelopment goals of the
City such as the revitalization of the Douglas Drive Corridor; and would help bring
order to an area that is currently a mix of uses and zoning designations and that
lacks cohesion.
5. The PUD amendment would not impact the general health, safety, or welfare of the
people of the City.
Ordinance No. 634 -2- May 1, 2018
6. The proposed modification does not conflict with the standards applied to the
existing PUD and does not invalidate the Intent and Purpose provision of the City
Code.
Section 2. The tracts of land affected by this ordinance is legally described as
follows:
Tennant Companies PUD No. 114
Section 3. City Code Chapter 1 entitled “General Provisions and Definitions
Applicable to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation” and Sec. 11.99
entitled “Violation a Misdemeanor” are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as
though repeated verbatim herein.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and
publication as required by law.
Adopted by the City Council this 1st day of May, 2018.

Agenda Item
4. E. Public Hearing - Amendment to the General Land Use Plan Map - Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD
No. 114 - Oppidan, Inc., Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Oppidan, Inc., on behalf of Tennant Companies and Transform Minnesota, is proposing to guide the
property shown as Lot 2 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 from Industrial use to Medium-High
Density Residential Use. This is the approximate location of 5808 Olson Memorial Highway.
General Land Use Plan Map Amendment
The property was guided and zoned for Single Family Residential use for several years and a vacant
single-family home is located on the site. In 2006, Tennant Companies acquired the property with
the intention of eventually demolishing the home in preparation for expansion of the Tennant
World Headquarters campus. The property was guided for Industrial use in the 2008 update to the
Comprehensive Plan in preparation for a future expansion of industrial and office uses in the area.
As part of the proposal to eventually expand Tennant World Headquarters, Tennant is proposing to
relocate Damascus Way to this property so that the existing site of Damascus Way (5730 Olson
Memorial Highway) can be used for the Tennant World Headquarters expansion instead. Staff has
determined that the proposed Lot 2 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 is suitable for Residential
use again, and particularly for a Residential Facility like Damascus Way. A Zoning Map Amendment
has also been filed for this property to rezone it to Medium Density Residential (R-3). A Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) application has also been filed.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on October 23, 2017, and recommended
approval (4-0).
Any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment must be sent to the Metropolitan Council for
review and comment. No approval for the proposed Damascus Way may be given by the City
Council until the Metropolitan Council has approved this amendment. The City may review the
proposal as long as final action is not taken prior to Metropolitan Council review.
Approval of a General Land Use Plan Map amendment requires an affirmative vote by 2/3 of
members of the City Council.

From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Amendment to the General Land Use Map—
Proposed Lot 3 of Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat
Background
An application to amend the Comprehensive Plan was filed by Oppidan, Inc. on behalf of Tennant
Companies, Inc. and Damascus Way/Transform Minnesota to guide the property proposed as Lot 3
of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat (see attached preliminary plat) from Industrial use to
Medium-High Density Residential Use. This is in the approximate location of 5808 Olson Memorial
Highway. The property was guided and zoned for Single-Family Residential use for several years. A
single-family home is located on this property. In 2006, Tennant Companies acquired the property
with the intention to eventually demolish the home in preparation for expansion of the Tennant
World Headquarters campus. The property was guided for Industrial use in the 2008 update to the
Comprehensive Plan in preparation for a future expansion of industrial and office uses in the area.
As part of the proposal to expand Tennant World Headquarters (see application for an amendment
to PUD 114), Tennant is proposing to relocate Damascus Way to this property so that the existing
site of Damascus Way (located at 5730 Olson Memorial Highway) can be used for the Tennant
World Headquarters expansion instead. City staff has determined that the proposed Lot 3 of the
Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat is suitable for Residential use again, and particularly for a
Residential Facility like Damascus Way. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application has been filed
for the proposed Damascus Way facility at this site since Residential Facilities serving more than 25
persons must obtain a CUP in the R-3 Medium Density Residential Zoning District (the Zoning
District that is most compatible with the Medium-High Density Residential Land Use category in the
Comprehensive Plan). A Zoning Map Amendment has also been filed for this property to rezone the
property for R-3 Medium Density Residential use.
The property proposed as Lot 3 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat (see attached plat for
location and property boundaries) is 32,240 square feet in size with access off of the Olson
Memorial Highway frontage road. Adjacent properties are guided for Industrial use, which is
unique for a Medium-High Density Residential parcel. However, staff finds that relocating
Damascus Way is also a unique challenge. Damascus Way has been located 200 feet east of this
proposed location since 1977. Residential Facilities of this kind, which are licensed by the
Department of Corrections, are often difficult to locate near other Residential parcels. Even though
there is an existing single-family home still in existence north of this property, it is guided for
Industrial use in the Comprehensive Plan. As part of the update in 2018, this property will be
rezoned from R-1 Single-Family Residential to Industrial use in order to coincide with the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds that the proposed land use guidance of Medium-High Density
Residential is appropriate for this property.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of amending the General Land Use Map to guide the property located
at the proposed Lot 3 of Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat from Industrial use to Medium-High
Density Residential use.

4. Informal Public Hearing — General Land Use Plan Map Amendment—
Damascus Way — 5808 Olson Memorial Highway — CPAM-67
Applicant: Oppidan, Inc.
Address: 5508 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To change the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from
Industrial to Medium-High Density
5. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 5808 Olson Memorial Highway
— Damascus Way — ZO12-23
Applicant: Oppidan, Inc.
Address: 5808 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To rezone the property from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3
Medium Density Residential
6. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit— 5808 Olson Memorial
Highway — Damascus Way — CU-159
Applicant: Oppidan, Inc.
Address: 5808 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To allow for a Residential Facility serving up to 30 clients
The Informal Public Hearings and discussion for Items 4, 5 and 6 were combined.
Goellner referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to move the existing
Damascus Way facility to a new location approximately 200 feet to the west. She stated that
the existing Damascus Way facility has been at the same location since 1977. Currently, the
2030 Comp Plan guides both the existing property and the new property Industrial and the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 11
zoning designations on the existing properties are Institutional and R-1 Single Family
Residential. The proposed new Comp Plan designation for the existing property is Industrial
and for the new location Medium-High Density. The proposed zoning designation for the
existing property is Industrial and for the new property it is R-3 Medium Density Residential.
Goellner discussed the site characteristics of the proposed new location and stated that the
property will be 32,240 square feet in size and will be accessible from Olson Memorial
Highway. The new location is also near the proposed Zane Avenue bike lanes and
sidewalks, the Luce Line trail, and bus routes on Highway 55, Douglas Drive, and Golden
Valley Road.
Goellner explained that the existing location doesn't have a Conditional Use Permit because
one wasn't required by Code when Damascus Way first opened. She stated that the new
facility requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate a 24-hour residential facility serving up
to 30 individuals. Goellner explained that the facility will be licensed by Hennepin County
and the State of Minnesota and will have a shared kitchen and dining facilities, a group
activity room, and offices for staff. There will be one employee on site at all times and three
to five employees on site during regular business hours. Goellner stated that the Zoning
Code requires six parking spaces and that the applicant is proposing to have 15 parking
spaces.
Goellner referred to the comment regarding sex offenders and noted that the police and the
courts don't have authority to decide where an offender can live but they do have to register
their home address. She added that Damascus Way doesn't focus on this type of clientele,
but rather on individuals who have been released from corrections in general.
Goellner stated that staff is recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Staff is
also recommending approval of amending the General Land Use Plan Map to guide the
new property Medium-High Density Residential use and rezoning the property to Medium
Density.
Baker asked if there have been any complaints about the existing Damascus Way facility.
Goellner said no.
Blenker asked if a Conditional Use Permit would be required if the facility moved but
retained the same number of clients. Goellner said a Conditional Use Permit is required
only if this facility is serving more than 25 individuals on a property zoned R-3.
Baker asked how the size of this facility compares with other similar facilities elsewhere in
the state. Goellner said she doesn't know how it compares to others in the state but that
there are other residential facilities in Golden Valley that are larger than this. Craig Fruen,
Executive Director, Damascus Way, stated that they are the smallest facility of this type in
the Twin Cities area.
Baker asked about the proportion of level three sex offenders. Fruen stated that a level
three sex offender lived at their facility for approximately nine months in 2013 and that he
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 12
doesn't live there anymore. He stated that their facility no longer accepts level three sex
offenders.
Johnson referred to the staff report where it states that the new Damascus Way building
will be a safer and more secure building designed with institutional safeguards and asked
what that means.
Carl Nelson, President of Damascus Way, stated that their facility is staffed 24 hours a
day, seven days a week and that the building has video monitoring and alarms. He stated
that part of the programming is accountability and that they know when residents are on
site and their activities. He explained that a resident's transition plan includes obtaining a
job and locating his next housing. Fruen added that Damascus Way is a halfway house
and is designed to be a buffer to the community and to help keep the community safe by
providing the residents a place to live.
Blenker asked about the typical amount of time someone stays at the facility. Fruen said 2
to 8 months depending on the client.
Baker opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker
closed the public hearing.
Blenker questioned if changing the Comp Plan designation and zoning would be
considered if this facility weren't already there. She noted that if Damascus Way wasn't
located where it is the City would probably zone the property Industrial. She asked about
the implications of rezoning the property to R-3 Residential. Goellner stated that this is a
unique situation and circumstance and that the proximity of the existing facility is a big
factor in this case. Blenker asked if the use would be allowed in the Industrial Zoning
District. Goellner said no. Waldhauser stated that keeping this facility in this area has a
stronger case than a new and different facility coming into an industrial area. Blenker
stated that society produces these types of individuals and that there has to be a way to
help people get back into society and this seems like a non-threatening way to do that.
Baker agreed and stated that by encouraging this facility in this location the City is doing
its part to help these individuals.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of changing the designation of 5808 Olson Memorial Highway on
the General Land Use Map from Industrial to Medium-High Residential.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of rezoning the property at 5808 Olson Memorial Highway from R-1
Single Family Residential to R-3 Medium Density Residential.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #159 subject to the following findings
and conditions:
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 13
Findings:
1. This facility is a unique housing type in the City and there is demonstrated need for
this type of facility. The applicant has indicated that there is more demand than
capacity at the existing facility, which serves up to 18 individuals. The proposed
facility would serve up to 30 individuals.
2. The proposed residential facility use is consistent with the General Land Use Plan
Map and the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan states that a variety of housing types and designs should be provided in order
to allow for greater housing choices for Golden Valley residents.
3. There is no evidence to support an argument that property values would be either
positively or negatively affected by the presence of a residential facility in this
location. Assessing staff anticipates that there will be no effect as long as the
property is well maintained.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed use will not generate any negative
traffic impacts to the surrounding areas. However, deliveries to the property should
be made off-street whenever possible to mitigate short-term congestion.
5. The proposal will increase the population at the location as compared to the
previous use. This is not expected to have a negative impact.
6. This use is expected to generate the same level of noise as any medium density
residential building occupied by residents.
7. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. The proposed building and parking area would have minimal visual impact and
would be consistent with other properties in the area.
10. Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed use. The use is
expected to make a positive impact on new residents of the facility. These residents
are re-entering the community after life-changing events and will receive 24-hour
care.
Conditions.-
1-
onditions:1. The facility may serve up to 30 persons and must maintain required licensure from
the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County at all times.
2. Site plans and building plans must meet all requirements in the Golden Valley City
Code, including but not limited to building height and setbacks, building coverage,
impervious surface, outdoor lighting, fencing, signage, and screening. Requirements
must be met at all times and all final site and building plans must be approved prior
to the issuance of a Building Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment application must be filed by the applicant if
any significant changes are made to this proposal, or if any of the conditions of this
approval can no longer be met, or if the City Manager or his/her designee identifies
changes to the plan or building that impact the findings and recommendations made
in this memorandum.
4. A sidewalk design acceptable to the City Manager or his/her designee must be
included in final approved site plans and the applicant or property owner must
construct the sidewalk.
5. Trash and recycling receptacles as well as rooftop equipment must be screened
from view.

Agenda Item
4. F. Public Hearing ‐ Amendment to the Official Zoning Map for Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD
No. 114 Plat ‐ Oppidan, Inc., Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Oppidan, Inc., on behalf of Tennant Companies and Transform Minnesota, is proposing to rezone
the property shown as Lot 2 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat from Single Family Residential
(R‐1) to Medium Density Residential (R‐3). This is the approximate location of 5808 Olson Memorial
Highway.
Official Zoning Map Amendment
The property was guided and zoned for Single Family Residential use for several years and a vacant
single‐family home is located on the site. In 2006, Tennant Companies acquired the property with
the intention of eventually demolishing the home in preparation for expansion of the Tennant
World Headquarters campus. The property was guided for Industrial use in the 2008 update to the
Comprehensive Plan in preparation for a future expansion of industrial and office uses in the area.
As part of the proposal to eventually expand Tennant World Headquarters, Tennant is proposing to
relocate Damascus Way to this property so that the existing site of Damascus Way (5730 Olson
Memorial Highway) can be used for the Tennant World Headquarters expansion instead. Staff has
determined that the proposed Lot 2 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat is suitable for
Residential use again, and particularly for a Residential Facility like Damascus Way. A General Land
Use Plan Map Amendment has also been filed for this property to reguide it for Medium‐High
Density Residential use. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application has also been filed.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on October 23, 2017, and recommended
approval (4‐0).

From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Amendment to Official Zoning Map —Lot 3 of Tennant
Companies PUD 114 Plat
Background
An application to amend the Official Zoning Map was filed by Oppidan, Inc. on behalf of Tennant
Companies, Inc. and Damascus Way/Transform Minnesota to rezone the property proposed as Lot
3 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat (see attached preliminary plat) from R-1 Single-Family
Residential use to R-3 Medium Density Residential Use. This is in the approximate location of 5808
Olson Memorial Highway. The property was guided and zoned for Single-Family Residential use for
several years. A single-family home is located on this property. In 2006, Tennant Companies
acquired the property with the intention to eventually demolish the home in preparation for
expansion of the Tennant World Headquarters campus. The property was guided for Industrial use
in the 2008 update to the Comprehensive Plan in preparation for a future expansion of industrial
and office uses in the area.
As part of the proposal to expand Tennant World Headquarters (see application for an amendment
to PUD 114), Tennant is proposing to relocate Damascus Way to this property so that the existing
site of Damascus Way (located at 5730 Olson Memorial Highway) can be used for the Tennant
World Headquarters expansion instead. City staff has determined that the proposed Lot 3 of the
Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat is suitable for Residential use, and particularly for a Residential
Facility like Damascus Way. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application has been filed for the
proposed Damascus Way facility at this site since Residential Facilities serving more than 25
persons must obtain a CUP in the R-3 Medium Density Residential Zoning District. A Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment has also been filed for this property to guide the property for Medium
Density Residential use.
The property proposed as Lot 3 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat (see attached plat for
location and property boundaries) is 32,240 square feet in size with access off of Olson Memorial
Highway frontage road. Adjacent properties are guided for Industrial use, which is unique for a
Medium Density Residential parcel. However, staff finds that relocating Damascus Way is also a
unique challenge. Damascus Way has been located 200 feet east of this proposed location since
1977. Residential Facilities of this kind, which are licensed by the Department of Corrections, are
often difficult to locate near other Residential parcels. Even though there is an existing single-family
home still in existence north of this property, it is guided for Industrial use in the Comprehensive
Plan. As part of the update in 2018, this property will be rezoned from R-1 Single-Family Residential
to Industrial use in order to coincide with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds that the proposed
zoning designation of R-3 Medium Density Residential is appropriate for this property.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Official Zoning Map to designate the
property located at the proposed Lot 3 of Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat from the R-1 Single
Family Residential Zoning District to the R-3 Medium Density Residential Zoning District.

5. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 5808 Olson Memorial Highway

Highway — Damascus Way — CU-159
Applicant: Oppidan, Inc.
Address: 5808 Olson Memorial Highway
Purpose: To allow for a Residential Facility serving up to 30 clients
The Informal Public Hearings and discussion for Items 4, 5 and 6 were combined.
Goellner referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to move the existing
Damascus Way facility to a new location approximately 200 feet to the west. She stated that
the existing Damascus Way facility has been at the same location since 1977. Currently, the
2030 Comp Plan guides both the existing property and the new property Industrial and the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 11
zoning designations on the existing properties are Institutional and R-1 Single Family
Residential. The proposed new Comp Plan designation for the existing property is Industrial
and for the new location Medium-High Density. The proposed zoning designation for the
existing property is Industrial and for the new property it is R-3 Medium Density Residential.
Goellner discussed the site characteristics of the proposed new location and stated that the
property will be 32,240 square feet in size and will be accessible from Olson Memorial
Highway. The new location is also near the proposed Zane Avenue bike lanes and
sidewalks, the Luce Line trail, and bus routes on Highway 55, Douglas Drive, and Golden
Valley Road.
Goellner explained that the existing location doesn't have a Conditional Use Permit because
one wasn't required by Code when Damascus Way first opened. She stated that the new
facility requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate a 24-hour residential facility serving up
to 30 individuals. Goellner explained that the facility will be licensed by Hennepin County
and the State of Minnesota and will have a shared kitchen and dining facilities, a group
activity room, and offices for staff. There will be one employee on site at all times and three
to five employees on site during regular business hours. Goellner stated that the Zoning
Code requires six parking spaces and that the applicant is proposing to have 15 parking
spaces.
Goellner referred to the comment regarding sex offenders and noted that the police and the
courts don't have authority to decide where an offender can live but they do have to register
their home address. She added that Damascus Way doesn't focus on this type of clientele,
but rather on individuals who have been released from corrections in general.
Goellner stated that staff is recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Staff is
also recommending approval of amending the General Land Use Plan Map to guide the
new property Medium-High Density Residential use and rezoning the property to Medium
Density.
Baker asked if there have been any complaints about the existing Damascus Way facility.
Goellner said no.
Blenker asked if a Conditional Use Permit would be required if the facility moved but
retained the same number of clients. Goellner said a Conditional Use Permit is required
only if this facility is serving more than 25 individuals on a property zoned R-3.
Baker asked how the size of this facility compares with other similar facilities elsewhere in
the state. Goellner said she doesn't know how it compares to others in the state but that
there are other residential facilities in Golden Valley that are larger than this. Craig Fruen,
Executive Director, Damascus Way, stated that they are the smallest facility of this type in
the Twin Cities area.
Baker asked about the proportion of level three sex offenders. Fruen stated that a level
three sex offender lived at their facility for approximately nine months in 2013 and that he
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 12
doesn't live there anymore. He stated that their facility no longer accepts level three sex
offenders.
Johnson referred to the staff report where it states that the new Damascus Way building
will be a safer and more secure building designed with institutional safeguards and asked
what that means.
Carl Nelson, President of Damascus Way, stated that their facility is staffed 24 hours a
day, seven days a week and that the building has video monitoring and alarms. He stated
that part of the programming is accountability and that they know when residents are on
site and their activities. He explained that a resident's transition plan includes obtaining a
job and locating his next housing. Fruen added that Damascus Way is a halfway house
and is designed to be a buffer to the community and to help keep the community safe by
providing the residents a place to live.
Blenker asked about the typical amount of time someone stays at the facility. Fruen said 2
to 8 months depending on the client.
Baker opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker
closed the public hearing.
Blenker questioned if changing the Comp Plan designation and zoning would be
considered if this facility weren't already there. She noted that if Damascus Way wasn't
located where it is the City would probably zone the property Industrial. She asked about
the implications of rezoning the property to R-3 Residential. Goellner stated that this is a
unique situation and circumstance and that the proximity of the existing facility is a big
factor in this case. Blenker asked if the use would be allowed in the Industrial Zoning
District. Goellner said no. Waldhauser stated that keeping this facility in this area has a
stronger case than a new and different facility coming into an industrial area. Blenker
stated that society produces these types of individuals and that there has to be a way to
help people get back into society and this seems like a non-threatening way to do that.
Baker agreed and stated that by encouraging this facility in this location the City is doing
its part to help these individuals.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of changing the designation of 5808 Olson Memorial Highway on
the General Land Use Map from Industrial to Medium-High Residential.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of rezoning the property at 5808 Olson Memorial Highway from R-1
Single Family Residential to R-3 Medium Density Residential.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #159 subject to the following findings
and conditions:
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 13
Findings:
1. This facility is a unique housing type in the City and there is demonstrated need for
this type of facility. The applicant has indicated that there is more demand than
capacity at the existing facility, which serves up to 18 individuals. The proposed
facility would serve up to 30 individuals.
2. The proposed residential facility use is consistent with the General Land Use Plan
Map and the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan states that a variety of housing types and designs should be provided in order
to allow for greater housing choices for Golden Valley residents.
3. There is no evidence to support an argument that property values would be either
positively or negatively affected by the presence of a residential facility in this
location. Assessing staff anticipates that there will be no effect as long as the
property is well maintained.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed use will not generate any negative
traffic impacts to the surrounding areas. However, deliveries to the property should
be made off-street whenever possible to mitigate short-term congestion.
5. The proposal will increase the population at the location as compared to the
previous use. This is not expected to have a negative impact.
6. This use is expected to generate the same level of noise as any medium density
residential building occupied by residents.
7. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. The proposed building and parking area would have minimal visual impact and
would be consistent with other properties in the area.
10. Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed use. The use is
expected to make a positive impact on new residents of the facility. These residents
are re-entering the community after life-changing events and will receive 24-hour
care.
Conditions:
1. The facility may serve up to 30 persons and must maintain required licensure from
the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County at all times.
2. Site plans and building plans must meet all requirements in the Golden Valley City
Code, including but not limited to building height and setbacks, building coverage,
impervious surface, outdoor lighting, fencing, signage, and screening. Requirements
must be met at all times and all final site and building plans must be approved prior
to the issuance of a Building Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment application must be filed by the applicant if
any significant changes are made to this proposal, or if any of the conditions of this
approval can no longer be met, or if the City Manager or his/her designee identifies
changes to the plan or building that impact the findings and recommendations made
in this memorandum.
4. A sidewalk design acceptable to the City Manager or his/her designee must be
included in final approved site plans and the applicant or property owner must
construct the sidewalk.
5. Trash and recycling receptacles as well as rooftop equipment must be screened
from view.

Agenda Item
4. G. Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit 159 - Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD No. 114 -
Oppidan, Inc., Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Oppidan, Inc., on behalf of Tennant Companies and Transform Minnesota, is proposing to relocate a
24-hour Residential Facility for up to 30 individuals recently released from the correctional system or
treatment centers.
Proposal
Transform Minnesota is a non-profit organization that currently operates the existing Damascus
Way facility and would operate the newly located facility. Their existing facility is licensed to
specialize in 24-hour care for those recently released from a correctional facilities or treatment
centers. Another facility is also operating in Rochester, Minnesota (see www.damascusway.com for
more details).
The applicant is proposing to build a 2-story facility for up to 30 individuals. The facility would
include shared kitchen and dining spaces, a group activity room, and office space for staff members.
As a 24-hour care facility, one person is on staff at the building at all times. During regular business
hours (8 am - 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday), there would typically be 3-5 staff members on site
(program director, case manager, and on-duty support and reception staff). On a sporadic basis, an
individual such as a parole officer or case manager may visit the facility to meet with a resident.
The minimum parking requirement for this property is 6 parking spaces — 1 parking space required
for every 5 beds in the facility with 30 total beds proposed. The site plan includes 15 parking spaces.
Almost all residents at the existing facility utilize public transit, biking, and walking for their
transportation needs. This site is easily accessible to bus routes (on Olson Memorial Highway,
Douglas Drive, and Golden Valley Road), the Luce Line Regional Trail, and proposed new sidewalks
and bicycle lanes on Zane Avenue.
A building permit must be obtained prior to occupancy of the proposed building. All required
licensures from the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County for the facility must be obtained prior
to occupancy of the building and licensure must be properly secured at all times.
Evaluation
A neighborhood meeting was held on September 7, 2018. One person attended (the property owner
of 5806 Olson Memorial Highway) and all aspects of the proposal were discussed and questions by
the resident were answered.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on October 23, 2017, and recommended approval
(4-0).
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 159 based on an evaluation of the ten factors
outlined in the City Code:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: The use is a unique housing type in the City and
there is demonstrated need for this type of facility. The applicant has indicated that there is
more demand than capacity at the existing facility, which serves up to 18 individuals. The
proposed facility would serve up to 30 individuals.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The proposed residential facility use is consistent
with the General Land Use Plan Map and the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan states that a variety of housing types and designs should be provided in
order to allow for greater housing choices for Golden Valley residents.
3. Effect on Property Values: There is no evidence to support an argument that property values
would be either positively or negatively affected by the presence of a residential facility in this
location. Assessing staff anticipates that there will be no effect as long as the property is well
maintained.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips associated with the proposed use will not generate any
negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas. However, deliveries to the property should be
made off-street whenever possible to mitigate short-term congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposal will increase the population at the
location as compared to the previous use. This is not expected to have a negative impact.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: This use is expected to generate the same level of noise as any medium
density residential building occupied by residents.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in
dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: The proposed building and parking area would have minimal visual impact and
would be consistent with other properties in the area.
10. Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of
the proposed use. The use is expected to make a positive impact on new residents of the facility.
These residents are re-entering the community after life-changing events and will receive 24-
hour care.
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 159 subject to the following conditions:
1. The facility may serve up to 30 persons and must maintain required licensure from the State of
Minnesota and Hennepin County at all times.
2. Site plans and building plans must meet all requirements in the Golden Valley City Code,
including but not limited to building height and setbacks, building coverage, impervious surface,
outdoor lighting, fencing, signage, and screening. Requirements must be met at all times and all
final site and building plans must be approved prior to the issuance of a Building Permit and a
Certificate of Occupancy.
3. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment application must be filed by the applicant if any significant
changes are made to this proposal, or if any of the conditions of this approval can no longer be
met, or if the City Manager or his/her designee identifies changes to the plan or building that
impact the findings and recommendations made in this memorandum.
4. A sidewalk design acceptable to the City Manager or his/her designee must be included in final
approved site plans and the applicant or property owner must construct the sidewalk.
5. Trash and recycling receptacles as well as rooftop equipment must be screened from view.
6. Execution of Conditional Use Permit 159 shall be contingent on the Metropolitan Council
approving a change in land use from Industrial to Medium-High Density Residential.
This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development. Failure to comply with one of more of the above conditions shall
be grounds for revocation of the CUP.
Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with Hennepin County.

Re: Damascus Way Conditional Use Permit Narrative
Damascus Way has been serving the community in its present location since 1977. They offer
transitional housing for people who are recently released from the correctional system.
Currently Damascus way can serve a maximum of 18 clients. Their building, built in 1945, is not in
compliance with many current building and energy code. According to their directors and staff, demand
for their services exceeds their capacity.
In order to accommodate the Tennant Corporate Expansion, Damascus will need to be relocated. The
Tennant project is blocked without it. Fortunately, within the"Tennant Block"there exists a location in
the SW corner where a new building can be constructed that will allow Tennant to achieve their goals of
creating a connected and walkable corporate campus with expansion ability, and accommodate
Damascus.
The new Damascus building, capable of serving up to 30 clients, will be a safer and more secure building
designed with institutional safeguards that can best serve their clients. The use is consistent with the
comprehensive plan of Golden Valley in as much that the use is compatible with the surrounding current
and guided industrial zoning.
The building is designed with a residential look of sloped, shingled roof and clapboard siding in order to
better blend into the surrounding area.
The proposed use will not cause increased negative factors such as noise, odors, vermin and traffic
impacts will be negligible because most of the clients do not have cars and the lot will be parked to
building code standards.
All in all, we believe the CUP should be supported given Damascus Way is an existing use that is being
relocated less than a '/4 of a mile. Taken into account the context of the surrounding uses,and the guiding
land-use, Damascus Way is appropriate.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Conditional Use Permit (CUP-159) to Allow for Damascus
Way Residential Facility at Lot 3 of Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat—Oppidan,
Inc., Applicant
Background
An application for a Conditional Use Permit has been submitted by Oppidan, Inc., on behalf of
Tennant Companies and Damascus Way/Transform Minnesota for the relocation of a 24-hour
Residential Facility for up to 30 individuals recently released from the correctional system or
treatment centers. The existing facility at 5730 Olson Memorial Highway, as well as the proposed
facility, is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections and meets the Zoning Code's
definition of a Residential Facility. The facility is proposed to be located on the newly created Lot
3 within the proposed Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat. This is in the approximate location of
5808 Olson Memorial Highway. This property is currently zoned for R-1 Single-Family Residential
use and guided for Industrial use in the Comprehensive Plan. Tennant Companies purchased the
single-family home on this property in 2006 in anticipation of their world headquarters
expansion. This property was guided for Industrial use by the City of Golden Valley in the 2008
update to the Comprehensive Plan in an preparation for a future expansion of industrial and
office uses in the area. A Zoning Map Amendment has been submitted to zone the property for
R-3 Medium Density Residential use and a General Land Use Map Amendment has been
submitted to guide the property for Medium-High Residential use in the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed Lot 3 of the Tennant PUD 114 Plat is 32,240 square feet in size. The property is
currently bounded by office buildings to the east and west, by a single-family home to the north,
and by Olson Memorial Highway to the south. Residential Facilities that provide 24-hour care are
permitted in the R-3 Zoning District when serving 25 or fewer persons. If the Facility serves over
25 persons, the facility requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Damascus Way has operated at
5730 Olson Memorial Highway since 1977, which is 200 feet to the east of the proposed facility.
The existing facility is proposed to be demolished with the expansion of Tennant's World
Headquarters within PUD 114.
Summary of Proposal
Transform Minnesota is a non-profit organization that currently operates the existing facility and
would operate the newly located facility. Their existing facility is licensed to specialize in 24-hour
care for those recently released from a correctional facilities or treatment centers. Another
facility is also operating in Rochester, Minnesota (see www.damascusway.com for more details).
The applicant is proposing to build a 2-story facility for up to 30 individuals. The facility would
include shared kitchen and dining spaces, a group activity room, and office space for staff
members. As a 24-hour care facility, one person is on staff at the building at all times. During
regular business hours (8 am - 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday), there would typically be 3-5
staff members on site (program director, case manager, and on-duty support and reception
staff). On a sporadic basis, an individual such as a parole officer or case manager may visit the
facility to meet with a resident.
The minimum parking requirement for this property is 6 parking spaces. There is 1 parking space
required for every 5 beds in the facility (with 30 total beds proposed). The site plan includes 15
parking spaces. Almost all residents at the existing facility utilize public transit, biking, and
walking for their transportation needs. This site is easily accessible to bus routes (on Olson
Memorial Highway, Douglas Drive, and Golden Valley Road), the Luce Line Regional Trail, and
proposed new sidewalks and bicycle lanes on Zane Avenue.
A building permit must be obtained prior to occupancy of the proposed building. All required
licensures from the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County for the facility must be obtained
prior to occupancy of the building and licensure must be properly secured at all times.
Neighborhood Meeting
Notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the site and a neighborhood meeting
was held on September 7 to discuss the Tennant PUD project. One person attended (the property
owner of 5806 Olson Memorial Highway) and all aspects of the proposal were discussed and
questions by the resident were answered.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use:This facility is a unique housing type in the City
and there is demonstrated need for this type of facility. The applicant has indicated that there
is more demand than capacity at the existing facility, which serves up to 18 individuals. The
proposed facility would serve up to 30 individuals.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:The proposed residential facility use is consistent
with the General Land Use Plan Map and the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Chapter of
the Comprehensive Plan states that a variety of housing types and designs should be provided
in order to allow for greater housing choices for Golden Valley residents.
3. Effect on Property Values: There is no evidence to support an argument that property values
would be either positively or negatively affected by the presence of a residential facility in this
location. Assessing staff anticipates that there will be no effect as long as the property is well
maintained.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips associated with the proposed use will not generate any
negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas. However, deliveries to the property should
be made off-street whenever possible to mitigate short-term congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposal will increase the population at
the location as compared to the previous use. This is not expected to have a negative impact.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: This use is expected to generate the same level of noise as any
medium density residential building occupied by residents.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase
in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: The proposed building and parking area would have minimal visual impact and
would be consistent with other properties in the area.
10. Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects
of the proposed use. The use is expected to make a positive impact on new residents of the
facility. These residents are re-entering the community after life-changing events and will
receive 24-hour care.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 159 allowing for a Residential Facility
serving up to 30 persons at the proposed Lot 3 of the Tennant Companies PUD 114 Plat. The
approval of a Conditional Use Permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. The facility may serve up to 30 persons and must maintain required licensure from the State
of Minnesota and Hennepin County at all times.
2. Site plans and building plans must meet all requirements in the Golden Valley City Code,
including but not limited to building height and setbacks, building coverage, impervious
surface, outdoor lighting, fencing, signage, and screening. Requirements must be met at all
times and all final site and building plans must be approved prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment application must be filed by the applicant if any
significant changes are made to this proposal, or if any of the conditions of this approval can
no longer be met, or if the City Manager or his/her designee identifies changes to the plan or
building that impact the findings and recommendations made in this memorandum.
4. A sidewalk design acceptable to the City Manager or his/her designee must be included in
final approved site plans and the applicant or property owner must construct the sidewalk.
5. Trash and recycling receptacles as well as rooftop equipment must be screened from view.
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

The Informal Public Hearings and discussion for Items 4, 5 and 6 were combined.
Goellner referred to a site plan and explained the applicant's request to move the existing
Damascus Way facility to a new location approximately 200 feet to the west. She stated that
the existing Damascus Way facility has been at the same location since 1977. Currently, the
2030 Comp Plan guides both the existing property and the new property Industrial and the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 11
zoning designations on the existing properties are Institutional and R-1 Single Family
Residential. The proposed new Comp Plan designation for the existing property is Industrial
and for the new location Medium-High Density. The proposed zoning designation for the
existing property is Industrial and for the new property it is R-3 Medium Density Residential.
Goellner discussed the site characteristics of the proposed new location and stated that the
property will be 32,240 square feet in size and will be accessible from Olson Memorial
Highway. The new location is also near the proposed Zane Avenue bike lanes and
sidewalks, the Luce Line trail, and bus routes on Highway 55, Douglas Drive, and Golden
Valley Road.
Goellner explained that the existing location doesn't have a Conditional Use Permit because
one wasn't required by Code when Damascus Way first opened. She stated that the new
facility requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate a 24-hour residential facility serving up
to 30 individuals. Goellner explained that the facility will be licensed by Hennepin County
and the State of Minnesota and will have a shared kitchen and dining facilities, a group
activity room, and offices for staff. There will be one employee on site at all times and three
to five employees on site during regular business hours. Goellner stated that the Zoning
Code requires six parking spaces and that the applicant is proposing to have 15 parking
spaces.
Goellner referred to the comment regarding sex offenders and noted that the police and the
courts don't have authority to decide where an offender can live but they do have to register
their home address. She added that Damascus Way doesn't focus on this type of clientele,
but rather on individuals who have been released from corrections in general.
Goellner stated that staff is recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Staff is
also recommending approval of amending the General Land Use Plan Map to guide the
new property Medium-High Density Residential use and rezoning the property to Medium
Density.
Baker asked if there have been any complaints about the existing Damascus Way facility.
Goellner said no.
Blenker asked if a Conditional Use Permit would be required if the facility moved but
retained the same number of clients. Goellner said a Conditional Use Permit is required
only if this facility is serving more than 25 individuals on a property zoned R-3.
Baker asked how the size of this facility compares with other similar facilities elsewhere in
the state. Goellner said she doesn't know how it compares to others in the state but that
there are other residential facilities in Golden Valley that are larger than this. Craig Fruen,
Executive Director, Damascus Way, stated that they are the smallest facility of this type in
the Twin Cities area.
Baker asked about the proportion of level three sex offenders. Fruen stated that a level
three sex offender lived at their facility for approximately nine months in 2013 and that he
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 23, 2017
Page 12
doesn't live there anymore. He stated that their facility no longer accepts level three sex
offenders.
Johnson referred to the staff report where it states that the new Damascus Way building
will be a safer and more secure building designed with institutional safeguards and asked
what that means.
Carl Nelson, President of Damascus Way, stated that their facility is staffed 24 hours a
day, seven days a week and that the building has video monitoring and alarms. He stated
that part of the programming is accountability and that they know when residents are on
site and their activities. He explained that a resident's transition plan includes obtaining a
job and locating his next housing. Fruen added that Damascus Way is a halfway house
and is designed to be a buffer to the community and to help keep the community safe by
providing the residents a place to live.
Blenker asked about the typical amount of time someone stays at the facility. Fruen said 2
to 8 months depending on the client.
Baker opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker
closed the public hearing.
Blenker questioned if changing the Comp Plan designation and zoning would be
considered if this facility weren't already there. She noted that if Damascus Way wasn't
located where it is the City would probably zone the property Industrial. She asked about
the implications of rezoning the property to R-3 Residential. Goellner stated that this is a
unique situation and circumstance and that the proximity of the existing facility is a big
factor in this case. Blenker asked if the use would be allowed in the Industrial Zoning
District. Goellner said no. Waldhauser stated that keeping this facility in this area has a
stronger case than a new and different facility coming into an industrial area. Blenker
stated that society produces these types of individuals and that there has to be a way to
help people get back into society and this seems like a non-threatening way to do that.
Baker agreed and stated that by encouraging this facility in this location the City is doing
its part to help these individuals.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of changing the designation of 5808 Olson Memorial Highway on
the General Land Use Map from Industrial to Medium-High Residential.
MOVED by Blenker, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of rezoning the property at 5808 Olson Memorial Highway from R-1
Single Family Residential to R-3 Medium Density Residential.

Approval of Conditional Use Permit Number 159
Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD No. 114 (5808 Olson Memorial Highway)
Oppidan, Inc. (Transform Minnesota), Applicant
The City Council for the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code Chapter 11 entitled “Land Use Regulations (Zoning)” is
amended in Section 11.10, Subd. 2, and Section 11.47, by approving a Conditional Use
Permit for a certain tract of land at Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD No. 114 (5808 Olson
Memorial Highway), thereby allowing for a Residential Facility for up to 30 individuals in the
Medium Density (R-3) Residential Zoning District.
This Conditional Use Permit is approved based on the findings of the Planning
Commission pursuant to City Code Section 11.80, Subd. 2(G), which findings are hereby
adopted and incorporated herein as follows:
1. The use is a unique housing type in the City and there is demonstrated need for this
type of facility. The applicant has indicated that there is more demand than capacity at
the existing facility, which serves up to 18 individuals. The proposed facility would serve
up to 30 individuals.
2. The proposed residential facility use is consistent with the General Land Use Plan Map
and the Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan states
that a variety of housing types and designs should be provided in order to allow for
greater housing choices for Golden Valley residents.
3. There is no evidence to support an argument that property values would be either
positively or negatively affected by the presence of a residential facility in this location.
Assessing staff anticipates that there will be no effect as long as the property is well
maintained.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed use will not generate any negative
traffic impacts to the surrounding areas. However, deliveries to the property should be
made off-street whenever possible to mitigate short-term congestion.
5. The proposal will increase the population at the location as compared to the previous
use. This is not expected to have a negative impact.
6. This use is expected to generate the same level of noise as any medium density
residential building occupied by residents.
7. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. The proposed building and parking area would have minimal visual impact and would
be consistent with other properties in the area.
10. Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed use. The use is
expected to make a positive impact on new residents of the facility. These residents are
re-entering the community after life-changing events and will receive 24-hour care.
This Conditional Use Permit is subject to all of the terms of the permit to be issued
including, but not limited to the following specific conditions:
1. The facility may serve up to 30 persons and must maintain required licensure from the
State of Minnesota and Hennepin County at all times.
Ordinance No. 636 -2- May 1, 2018
2. Site plans and building plans must meet all requirements in the Golden Valley City
Code, including but not limited to building height and setbacks, building coverage,
impervious surface, outdoor lighting, fencing, signage, and screening. Requirements
must be met at all times and all final site and building plans must be approved prior to
the issuance of a Building Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment application must be filed by the applicant if any
significant changes are made to this proposal, or if any of the conditions of this approval
can no longer be met, or if the City Manager or his/her designee identifies changes to
the plan or building that impact the findings and recommendations made in this
memorandum.
4. A sidewalk design acceptable to the City Manager or his/her designee must be included
in final approved site plans and the applicant or property owner must construct the
sidewalk.
5. Trash and recycling receptacles as well as rooftop equipment must be screened from
view.
6. Execution of Conditional Use Permit 159 shall be contingent on the Metropolitan
Council approving a change in land use from Industrial to Medium-High Density
Residential.
Section 2. The tract of land affected by this ordinance is legally described as follows:
Lot 2, Tennant Companies PUD No. 114
Section 3. City Code Chapter 1 entitled “General Provisions and Definitions
Applicable to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation” and Sec. 11.99 entitled
“Violation a Misdemeanor” are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as though
repeated verbatim herein.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and publication
as required by law.
Adopted by the City Council this 1st day of May, 2018.

Agenda Item
6. B. Authorize Agreement for a Traffic Control Signal with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver PE, City Engineer
Summary
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will be replacing the existing traffic signal
at the intersection of Trunk Highway 55 and Meadow Lane North. The new traffic signal will
include emergency vehicle preemption (EVP), accessible pedestrian signals (APS), and flashing
yellow arrows (FYA). MnDOT is requiring that the City enter into a Traffic Control Signal Agreement
that will outline City and State maintenance responsibilities and cost participation for this signal.
The City will be responsible for the electric service costs and minor maintenance of the signal. The
minor maintenance requirements include relamping of the LED intersection lighting, relamping of
the signal head bulbs, and cleaning and maintenance of the signal cabinet, poles and mast arms.
These are all responsibilities that the City currently has for the existing signal at this location.
As outlined in the agreement, the City will be responsible for costs for each of its streets that are
controlled by the traffic signal. Therefore, the City is responsible for costs for the north and south
legs of Meadow Lane North or 50% of the signal replacement costs. The estimated cost
responsibility for Golden Valley is $226,362.88, which will be funded from the City’s Municipal
State Aid Construction Fund. This project was on a provisional list and staff received formal
notification in late 2017 that the traffic signal would be constructed in 2018. This notification was
received after the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was finalized; therefore, this project
was not in the 2018-2022 CIP.

Regulations Section 5.02: Application and Licenses under this Chapter - Procedure and
Administration.
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 1
Section 5.02: Applications and Licenses Under This Chapter - Procedure
and Administration
Subdivision 1. Application
All applications shall be made at the office of the City Clerk, at least sixty (60) days
prior to the projected effective date, upon forms prescribed by the City, or if by the
Commissioner, then together with such additional information as the Council may
desire. Information required may vary with the type of business organization making
application. All questions asked or information required by the application forms shall
be answered fully and completely by the applicant. Every application for the issuance or
renewal of a liquor or non-intoxicating malt liquor license must include a copy of each
summons received by the applicant during the preceding year under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 340A.802.
A. Form. Every application for a license issued under this ordinance shall be on a
form provided by the City at least 60 days prior to the projected effective date.
Every application shall state the name of the applicant, the applicant's age,
representations as to the applicant's character, with references as the City
may require, the type of license applied for, the business in connection with
which the proposed license will operate and its location, a description of the
premises, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the business, how long
the applicant has been in that business at that place, and other information as
the City may require from time to time. An application for an on-sale
intoxicating liquor license shall be in the form prescribed by the Commissioner of
Public Safety and shall also contain the information required in this Section. The
form shall be verified and filed with the City.
B. Financial responsibility. Prior to the issuance of any license under this ordinance,
the applicant shall demonstrate proof of financial responsibility as defined in
Minn. Stat. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to time, with regard to
liability under Minn. Stat. § 340A.801, as it may be amended from time to time.
This proof shall be filed with the City and the Commissioner of Public Safety. Any
liability insurance policy filed as proof of financial responsibility under this section
shall conform to Minn. Stat. § 340A.409, as it may be amended from time to
time. Operation of a business which is required to be licensed by this ordinance
without having on file with the City at all times effective proof of financial
responsibility is a cause for revocation of the license.
*Subdivision 2. Limitations on Licenses
Off-sale licenses shall be issued only to exclusive liquor stores and drug stores. On-sale
licenses shall be issued to hotels, clubs, restaurants or organizations with the approval
of the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety or congressionally chartered veterans,
provided the organization has been in existence for at least three (3) years and liquor
sale will only be to members and bona fide guests. These limitations shall not apply to
pre-existing licenses.
*Subdivision 3. False Statements
It is unlawful for any applicant to intentionally make a false statement or omission upon
any application form. Any false statement in such application, or any willful omission to
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 2
state of any information called for on such application form shall, upon discovery of
such falsehood, work an automatic refusal of license, or if already issued, shall render
any license issued pursuant thereto void and of no effect to protect the applicant from
prosecution for violation of this Chapter, or any part thereof.
*Subdivision 4. Investigation Fees
In accordance with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 340A.402, the City shall conduct a
background and financial investigation on all new application, applications to transfer a
license, and requests for approval of a new operating manager under this Chapter. The
City may conduct a background and financial check on an application for a renewal of a
license if it is in the public interest to do so.
At the time the initial or renewal application is made, an applicant for a license under
this Chapter shall accompany such application with payment of a fee to be considered
an investigation fee to cover the cost to the City in processing the application and the
investigation of the applicant or the applicant's manager or agent. No such fee shall be
required of an applicant for a temporary non-intoxicating malt liquor license. For
investigations conducted outside the State of Minnesota, the City may recover the
actual investigation costs, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000). Any fees due
in excess of the fee accompanying the application must be paid prior to the license
hearing and before the City Council considers the application. Failure to fully pay
investigative fees within thirty (30) days of billing shall be grounds for suspension or
revocation of license.
*Subdivision 5. Action
A. Granting. The Council may approve any application for the period of the
remainder of the then current license year or for the entire ensuing license year.
All applications including proposed license periods must be consistent with this
Chapter. Prior to consideration of any application for a license, the applicant shall
pay the license fee, and if applicable, pay the investigation fee. Upon rejection of
any application for a license, or upon withdrawal of an application before
consideration by the Council, the license fee shall be refunded to the applicant.
Failure to pay any portion of a fee when due shall be cause for revocation.
B. Issuing. If an application is approved, the City Clerk shall forthwith issue a
license pursuant thereto in the form prescribed by the City or the Commissioner,
as the case may be. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all licenses shall
be on a fiscal year basis, July 1 through June 30. For on-sale licenses issued and
which are to become effective other than on the first day of the licensed year,
the full fee shall be paid with the application but may be prorated after issuance.
Licenses shall be valid only at one location and on the premises therein
described. There shall be no prorations for off-sale licenses.
C. Transfer. No license issued under this ordinance may be transferred without the
approval of the Council. Any transfer of stock of a corporate licensee is deemed
to be a transfer of the license, and a transfer of stock without prior Council
approval shall be cause for revocation of the license. An application to transfer a
license shall be treated the same as an application for a new license, and all of
the provisions of this code applying to applications for a license shall apply.
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 3
No license shall be transferable between persons or to a different location. Any
change in individual ownership, incorporation or substitution of partners is a
transfer. Provided, however, that as to the issued and outstanding shares of a
corporate licensee, only the transfer of shares which constitutes either 1) an
increase in the transferee's aggregate interest to five percent (5%) or more, or
2) a new acquisition of five percent (5%) or more, shall be a transfer for the
purpose of this Section. The enlargement, alteration, or extension of premises
previously licensed shall be considered a transfer to a different location. Upon
learning that a license has been transferred by the licensee, the Council shall
revoke the license unless a new, complete application for the transferee has been
receive by the City within twenty (20) days of the transfer, in which event the
Council may consider issuance of a new license to the transferee.
D. Refusal and Termination. The Council may, in its sole discretion and for any
reasonable cause, refuse to grant any application. No license shall be issued: 1)
to a person of questionable moral character or business reputation; 2) to a
person or establishment not eligible for a license under state law or this Chapter;
3) For any establishment upon which sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited; 4)
to a person that is not eligible to receive a license under state law or ordinance
or to who state law or ordinance prohibits issuing a license. Licenses shall
terminate only by expiration, revocation, or ceasing to do business.
E. Council Discretion to Grant or Deny a License. The Council in its sound discretion
may either grant or deny the application for any license or for the transfer or
renewal of any license. No applicant has a right to a license under this Chapter.
F. License Denial: If a license application is denied, the earliest an applicant may
reapply is twelve (12) months from the date the license is denied.
G. Public Interest. No license under this Chapter may be issued, transferred, or
renewed if the results of any investigation show, to the satisfaction of the
Council, that such issuance, transfer, or renewal would not be in the public
interest.
H. Revocation or Suspension. In addition to any criminal penalty provided by State
Statute or this Code, the following civil penalties shall apply to violations of this
Chapter or the conditions of any license issued hereunder:
1. Revocation on the first violation for the following types of offenses:
a. Commission of a felony related to the licensed activity;
b. Sale of alcoholic beverages while license is under suspension.

Any of the foregoing civil penalties may be imposed by an administrative citation
under City Code, Section 2.90, or in the alternative by action of the Council. If
one (1) of the foregoing penalties is imposed by an action of the Council, no fine,
suspension or revocation shall take effect until the licensee has been afforded an
opportunity for a hearing before the Council, a committee of the Council as may
be determined by the Council in action calling the hearing. Such hearing shall be
called by the Council upon written notice to the licensee served in person or by
certified mail not less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to
the hearing date, stating the time, place and purpose thereof. The licensee may
agree to such fine, suspension or revocation imposed by an action of the Council
without a hearing by providing the City Manager or his/her designee with a
written notice of hearing waiver and acceptance of penalty.
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 5
In lieu of the civil penalties and license suspensions imposed above, whether
imposed by administrative citation or an action of the Council, the licensee may
choose to surrender the license to sell alcohol for a minimum period of twelve
(12) months from the date of license surrender.
I. Business Corporate Applicants and Licensees. A business corporate applicant, at
the time of application, shall furnish the City with a list of all persons that have
an interest of five percent (5%) or more of common stock issued in such
corporation business and the extent of such interest. The list shall name all
shareholders owners and show the number of shares interest held by each,
either individually or beneficially for others. It is the duty of each corporate
business licensee to notify the City Clerk in writing of any change in legal
ownership, or beneficial interest in such corporation business or in such shares.
Any change in the ownership or beneficial interest in the shares entitled to be
voted at a meeting of the shareholders of a corporate licensee, which results in
the change of voting control of the corporation by the persons owning the shares
therein, or any other change in ownership or control of a corporation, shall be
deemed equivalent to a transfer of the license issued to the corporation, and any
such license shall be revoked thirty (30) days after any such change in ownership
or beneficial interest of shares unless the licensee has notified the Council of the
change in ownership by submitting a new license application for the new owners,
and the Council has been notified of the change in writing and has approved the
transfer of the license it by appropriate action. At any time that an additional
investigation is required because of a change in stock ownership or any other
change in the ownership or control of a business corporation, the licensee shall
pay an additional investigation fee to be determined by the Council. The Council,
or any officer of the City designated by it, may at any reasonable time examine
the stock transfer records and minute books of any corporate business licensee
in order to verify and identify the owners, shareholders, and the Council or its
designated officer may examine the business records of any other licensee to the
extent necessary to disclose the interest which persons other than the licensee
have in the licensed business. The Council may revoke any license issued upon
its determination that a change of ownership of shares in a corporate business
licensee or any change of ownership of any interest in the business of any other
licensee has actually resulted in the change of control of the licensed business so
as materially to affect the integrity and character of its management and its
operation, but no such action shall be taken until after a hearing by the Council
on notice to the licensee.
*Subdivision 6. Duplicate Licenses
Duplicates of all original licenses under this Chapter may be issued by the City Clerk
without action by the Council, upon licensee's affidavit that the original has been lost,
and upon payment of a fee for issuance of the duplicate. All duplicate licenses shall be
clearly marked DUPLICATE.
*Subdivision 7. Posting
All licensees shall conspicuously post their licenses in their places of business.
*Subdivision 8. Manager or Agent
Before a license is issued under this Chapter, the applicant or applicants shall appoint in
writing a natural person as its manager or agent. Such manager or agent shall be
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 6
primarily located in the state of Minnesota and, by the terms of his/her written consent,
(1) take full responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises, and, (2) serve as
agent for service of notices and other process relating to the license. Such manager or
agent must be a person who, by reason of age, character, reputation, and other
attributes, could qualify individually as a licensee. If such manager or agent ceases to
act in such capacity for the licensee without appointment of a successor acceptable to
the City, the license issued pursuant to such appointment shall be revoked. The
licensee shall notify the City of any change of manager or agent. The licensee shall
provide the City with all information on the new manager as if licensee was submitting
a new application for a license. The City may conduct an investigation into the new
manager or agent and the licensee shall pay an additional investigation fee to be
determined by the City. The City shall revoke the license if the new manager is
determined to be unacceptable to the City and licensee fails to replace the new
manager with a manager acceptable to the City. At all times when customers are on
licensed premises, there shall also be a person responsible for the conduct thereon,
and, upon inquiry by any peace officer of an employee, such person's identity shall be
immediately made known.
*Subdivision 9. Persons Disqualified Ineligible for License
A. State Law. No license shall be granted to or held by any person made ineligible
for such a license under Minn. Stat. § 340A.402 subd. 1.
B. Operating Officer. No License shall be granted to a business that does not have
an operating officer or manager who is eligible pursuant to the provisions of this
Chapter.
C. Real Party Interest. No license shall be granted to a person who is the spouse of
a person ineligible for a license pursuant to the provision of subsections A and B
of this section or who, in the judgement of the Council, is not the real party in
interest or beneficial owner of the business to be operated, under the license.
D. Interest Defined. The term interest as used in this section includes any pecuniary
interest in the ownership, operation, management or profits of a retail liquor
establishment, but does not included: bona fide loans; bona fide fixed sum rental
agreements; bona fide open accounts or other obligations held with or without
security arising out of the ordinary and regular course of business of selling or
leasing merchandise, fixtures or supplies to such establishment; or an interest of
less than five percent (5%) in any business holding a liquor license issued by the
City. A person who receives monies from time to time directly or indirectly from
a licensee in the absence of a bona fide consideration therefore and excluding
bona fide gifts or donations, shall be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in such
retailing license. In determining “bona fide”, the reasonable value of the goods or
things received as consideration for the payment by the licensee and all other
facts reasonably tending to prove or disprove the existence of any purposeful
scheme or arrangement to evade the prohibitions of this section shall be
considered.
E. Outstanding Debts. No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any
premises on which real estate taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of
the City or of the state are due, delinquent, or unpaid. If an action has been
§ 5.00
Golden Valley City Code 7
commenced pursuant to the provisions of Minn. Stat. Ch. 278, questioning the
amount or validity of taxes, the Council may, on application by the licensee,
waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however,
for taxes, or any portion thereof, which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one
year after becoming due unless such one year period is extended through no
fault of the licensee.
A. No license under this Chapter may be issued to:
1. A person who within five (5) years of the license application has been
convicted of a felony or a willful violation of a Federal or State law, or local
ordinance governing the manufacture, sale, distribution, or possession for
sale or distribution, of alcoholic beverages;
2. A person who has had an intoxicating or 3.2 percent non-intoxicating liquor
license revoked within five (5) years of the license application, or to any
person who at the time of the violation owns any interest, whether as a
holder of more than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a corporate
licensee, as a partner or otherwise, in the premises or in the business
conducted thereon, or to a corporation, partnership, association, enterprise,
business, or firm in which any such person is in any manner interested;
3. A person under the age of twenty-one (21) years; or
4. A person not of good moral character and repute.
B. No person who has a direct or indirect interest in a manufacturer, brewer or
wholesaler may have any ownership, in whole or in part, in a business holding an
alcoholic beverage license from the City.

any change of ownership of any interest in the business of any other licensee has
actually resulted in the change of control of the licensed business so as materially to
affect the integrity and character of its management and its operation, but no such
action shall be taken until after a hearing by the Council on notice to the licensee.
Subdivision 6. Duplicate Licenses
Duplicates of all original licenses under this Chapter may be issued by the City Clerk
without action by the Council, upon licensee's affidavit that the original has been lost, and
upon payment of a fee for issuance of the duplicate. All duplicate licenses shall be clearly
marked DUPLICATE.
Subdivision 7. Posting
All licensees shall conspicuously post their licenses in their places of business.
Subdivision 8. Manager or Agent
Before a license is issued under this Chapter, the applicant or applicants shall appoint in
writing a natural person as its manager or agent. Such manager or agent shall be primarily
located in the state of Minnesota and, by the terms of his/her written consent, (1) take full
responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises, and, (2) serve as agent for service
of notices and other process relating to the license. Such manager or agent must be a
person who, by reason of age, character, reputation, and other attributes, could qualify
individually as a licensee. If such manager or agent ceases to act in such capacity for the
licensee without appointment of a successor acceptable to the City, the license issued
pursuant to such appointment shall be revoked. The licensee shall notify the City of any
change of manager or agent. The licensee shall provide the City with all information on the
new manager as if licensee was submitting a new application for a license. The City may
conduct an investigation into the new manager or agent and the licensee shall pay an
additional investigation fee to be determined by the City. The City shall revoke the license if
the new manager is determined to be unacceptable to the City and licensee fails to replace
the new manager with a manager acceptable to the City. At all times when customers are
on licensed premises, there shall also be a person responsible for the conduct thereon,
and, upon inquiry by any peace officer of an employee, such person's identity shall be
immediately made known.
Subdivision 9. Persons Ineligible for License
A. State Law. No license shall be granted to or held by any person made ineligible for
such a license under Minn. Stat. § 340A.402 subd. 1.
Ordinance No. 637 -6- May 1, 2018
B. Operating Officer. No License shall be granted to a business that does not have an
operating officer or manager who is eligible pursuant to the provisions of this
Chapter.
C. Real Party Interest. No license shall be granted to a person who is the spouse of a
person ineligible for a license pursuant to the provision of subsections A and B of
this section or who, in the judgement of the Council, is not the real party in interest or
beneficial owner of the business to be operated, under the license.
D. Interest Defined. The term interest as used in this section includes any pecuniary
interest in the ownership, operation, management or profits of a retail liquor
establishment, but does not included: bona fide loans; bona fide fixed sum rental
agreements; bona fide open accounts or other obligations held with or without
security arising out of the ordinary and regular course of business of selling or
leasing merchandise, fixtures or supplies to such establishment; or an interest of
less than five percent (5%) in any business holding a liquor license issued by the
City. A person who receives monies from time to time directly or indirectly from a
licensee in the absence of a bona fide consideration therefore and excluding bona
fide gifts or donations, shall be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in such retailing
license. In determining “bona fide”, the reasonable value of the goods or things
received as consideration for the payment by the licensee and all other facts
reasonably tending to prove or disprove the existence of any purposeful scheme or
arrangement to evade the prohibitions of this section shall be considered.
E. Outstanding Debts. No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any
premises on which real estate taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the
City or of the state are due, delinquent, or unpaid. If an action has been commenced
pursuant to the provisions of Minn. Stat. Ch. 278, questioning the amount or validity
of taxes, the Council may, on application by the licensee, waive strict compliance
with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for taxes, or any portion
thereof, which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year after becoming due
unless such one year period is extended through no fault of the licensee.
F. No license under this Chapter may be issued to:
1. A person who within five (5) years of the license application has been convicted
of a felony or a willful violation of a Federal or State law, or local ordinance
governing the manufacture, sale, distribution, or possession for sale or
distribution, of alcoholic beverages;
2. A person who has had an intoxicating or 3.2 percent liquor license revoked within
five (5) years of the license application, or to any person who at the time of the
violation owns any interest, whether as a holder of more than five percent (5%) of
the capital stock of a corporate licensee, as a partner or otherwise, in the
premises or in the business conducted thereon, or to a corporation, partnership,
association, enterprise, business, or firm in which any such person is in any
manner interested;
3. A person under the age of twenty-one (21) years; or
Ordinance No. 637 -7- May 1, 2018
4. A person not of good moral character and repute.
Section 2. City Code Chapter 1 entitled “General Provisions and Definitions Applicable
to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation” and Section 5.99 entitled “Violation a
Misdemeanor” are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as though repeated
verbatim herein.

publication as required by law.
