3. Approval of Minutes
February 11, 2019, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Johnson referred to the last sentence in the second paragraph on page five and stated that the word
“he” should be changed to the word “Zimmerman.”
MOVED by Blum, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to approve the February 11,
2019, minutes with the above noted correction.
4. Discussion – Architectural and Material Standards
Zimmerman reminded the Commissioners that they have been asked to consider new zoning
regulations related to architectural and material standards for buildings. He stated that material
standards were discussed at the last Planning Commission and that architectural standards will be the
focus of this discussion. He noted that during previous discussions the consensus was to utilize some
architectural standards and to address most zoning districts, but not single family homes or duplexes
(R-1 and R-2).
Zimmerman stated that staff reviewed zoning codes from 15 cities for ideas regarding architectural
standards and that only a few of them have robust regulations. He stated that the types of features
that are regulated typically include: building massing, facade design (both horizontal and vertical
variation), roof lines, amount of openings/percentage of transparency on each elevation, location of
entrances, focal elements, color, sun/shading, and loading docks/screening of utilities.
Zimmerman said that he would like the Commission’s feedback on the following: which elements
should be regulated through the Zoning Code, which zoning districts should be subjected to the

architectural regulations, how standards can be written to avoid subjective measures that could be
difficult to enforce, who should be responsible for verifying compliance with the standards, and how
additions to existing (non-conforming) buildings should be handled.
Zimmerman showed the Commission several pictures of buildings and discussed the various
architectural elements and features on each of the buildings.
Baker asked Zimmerman if any bad examples come to mind. Zimmerman said that most of the
buildings he showed pictures of are newer buildings and that the push has been to create interesting
facades with different sections, balconies, and windows. He added that many of the buildings that are
plainer are the older office buildings or more industrial types of buildings. He said this gets to the
question of where to apply architectural standards.
Segelbaum said many of the examples shown were of recent construction projects so he is trying to
get a sense how important having standards is if all modern architects are trying to employ these
architectural elements into their buildings anyway without regulations. Zimmerman said for the most
part architects try to design interesting buildings and incorporate many of the features they’ve been
discussing, especially in big, highly visible buildings. He noted that some of the examples he’s shown
were located in the Mixed Use Zoning District where there already are some standards required, or
they are in a PUD where the City has some leverage to push for more architectural elements.
Baker referred to the Lock Up storage facility and said that is an example of where the City may have
been able to impose some more interesting architectural elements. Zimmerman stated that the Lock
Up facility didn’t require any planning approvals and there were no design standards so that is an
example of where having standards could have been helpful.
Segelbaum asked if there are certain standards that are common in most cities. Zimmerman said that
most of the common standards were facade variation, articulation, the amount of glass/transparency,
and screening of mechanicals and utilities.
Baker said he noticed two different approaches cities seem to take. Some cities state what they would
prefer or what is desirable and some cities were quite prescribed. He stated that the I-394 corridor
has pretty prescriptive design standards and wasn’t a success. He questioned if the prescriptive
approach in the architectural standards requirements created any disincentive to people engaging in
that area. Zimmerman said he doesn’t think the issues in the I-394 Corridor are due to problems with
the code requirements, it is more with people trying to reuse the existing buildings that are there and
the difficulty trying to incorporate new architectural elements into an existing building. He added that
the new buildings in the corridor didn’t have issues with meeting the design requirements.
Baker suggested the Commission go through each of the discussion questions asked by staff. The first
question is which elements should be regulated through the Zoning Code. Blum said his most
important issue is vertical and horizontal articulation. He said he thinks variation can be achieved by
addressing horizontal articulation, vertical articulation, and color and that developments are already

Feb 25, 2019 – 7 pm

using these three elements so he doesn’t think it will a huge imposition to add those standards to the
Zoning Code. Baker agreed.
Pockl asked if the Zoning Code already addresses articulation. Zimmerman stated that only the R-1
and R-2 zoning districts require side wall articulation. Segelbaum said it seems that at a minimum
articulation is important.
Baker asked the Commission if they have comments about regulating roof lines. Zimmerman stated
that many of the recent construction projects are large buildings with flat roofs where it is more
difficult to create interest. Baker said that it is subjective to put language in the Code that just says
“provide a variety of roof shapes.” Blum suggested making the language about roof types an
encouraging statement, not a requirement.
Baker asked the Commission for comments about openings and percentage of transparency.
Zimmerman noted that most commercial uses want transparency but that some institutional or
industrial uses may not need it.
Segelbaum stated that he remembers hearing in Transit Oriented Design (TOD) discussions that if a
certain design is required then the uses will follow it. He added that he agrees that transparency
depends on the use.
Johnson asked if glass would be treated like any other material in regard to articulation. Zimmerman
said yes. Johnson noted that the wording in some of the cities codes state that glass should be clear,
but putting up curtains or blinds would be a way around that so he questions what is trying to be
accomplished. Zimmerman said the intent is to create interaction with people inside and outside.
Blum stated that they have discussed trying to encourage parking at the rear of buildings in order to
create more walkable areas. He said harder materials like brick and stone can create a claustrophobic
type feel and that glass creates a more open, friendly, functional feeling. Brookins said he likes the
idea of regulating the amount of glass/transparency because buildings can have a very different feel
with more glass, but his only concern is that it doesn’t get saturated at one end of a building.
Baker asked the Commission their thoughts about the location of entrances. Blum said his opinion is
entrances in the front, parking in the rear. Zimmerman stated that architectural features such as a
canopy or an arch draw your attention to a door. Segelbaum said he thinks all of these things add to
the uniqueness of buildings, but they need to be careful they don’t legislate themselves out of
development opportunities. Blum said he thinks the standards currently used in the Mixed Use Zoning
District are good.
Baker asked the Commission to comment on focal elements. Zimmerman noted that focal elements
are more common on institutional buildings such as a church spire. Baker said this element doesn’t
strike him as being enormously important. The Commission agreed.

Baker asked the Commissioners to comment on the element of color. Blum reiterated that he thinks
visual interest or lack of sameness can be established by having different amounts of each of the
massing elements being discussed. He added that he thinks color should be an independent
requirement in order to keep visual appeal. Zimmerman agreed that the color element pairs nicely
with the discussion they’ve had about materials standards. Baker said he likes there to be a lot of
color and he doesn’t understand why bright colors are discouraged because they are fun and unique.
Johnson questioned if certain developers would be discouraged if the rules were too strict in regard to
color. He added that he also doesn’t want to put undue costs or constraints on builders.
Baker referred to the next discussion item which is in regard to sun/shading. Zimmerman noted that
requirements regarding sun/shading were not in very many of the codes he researched. Segelbaum
asked if reflectivity is a part of this element. Zimmerman said he thought that would be more a part of
the materials standards. Zimmerman stated that height and setback requirements help address
sun/shading issues. Brookins agreed that setbacks would address the sun/shading issues. Blum said he
thinks sun/shading is fundamental and an important factor in a lot of the decisions they are asked to
make. He added that some original zoning laws were created because of this topic so they should feel
comfortable that it is addressed somewhere in the Zoning Code if not in the architectural standards.
Baker stated that the last element is the screening of loading docks and utilities. He said he thinks this
is very important. Zimmerman agreed and said some of the other codes he researched had some good
language about screening. Segelbaum said the question is screening from what view. Zimmerman said
the current code requires screening from the public right of way. Johnson questioned why the City
would want to force somebody to put nice looking materials on their loading dock and then require
that it be screened. Zimmerman reiterated that is why it is important to decide which zoning districts
the architectural and materials standards should apply to.
Baker said he assumes these standards wouldn’t apply to R-1 and R-2 properties. Segelbaum said he
thinks they should apply to townhomes. Blum said he thinks the R-2 Zoning District should have
higher standards in order to help make that type of development more palatable to the community
and to help reduce people’s anxiety. Baker suggested looking at some examples of R-2 developments.
Zimmerman said that it might be appropriate to have some standards for anything beyond a single
unit. Brookins said he would support higher standards in R-2 and suggested requiring variation
through the materials used instead of the architectural standards. Johnson said he agrees with
requiring higher standards in R-2.
Segelbaum said he thinks the Commercial and Office Zoning Districts should have higher architectural
standards but he is not sure about Light Industrial and Industrial. He reiterated that he wants to make
sure the City is encouraging development. Baker agreed and said he thinks the Institutional Zoning
District should also have higher architectural standards.
Pockl stated that they are currently considering minimum requirements but questioned if when they
are reviewing proposals in the future they will be able to require that additional standards be met or if
they would just be a suggestion. Zimmerman explained that the City doesn’t have a formal site plan

review process and that staff works with potential applicants about their proposals and makes
suggestions, but the City has to be careful when asking for things that aren’t required in the Zoning
Code. He added that is why the really important things should be clear and required.
Baker stated that the next question staff wanted feedback on is who is responsible for verifying
compliance with the standards. Zimmerman stated that if the minimum requirements are clear then
staff can be responsible for compliance.
Johnson asked about the exception process. Zimmerman said these standards would be in the Zoning
Code so someone could potentially ask for a variance.
Blum referred to St. Louis Parks’ general guidelines language and said it ties things together in a way
that shows the things that are “musts” and “shalls” and the other things that are encouraged. Baker
said he would rather state what is required and what is optional. Blum said he is concerned that
optional requirements become nothing. Brookins asked if there is a way to highlight the vision or the
intent and then list the architectural standards that help achieve it.
Baker asked about architectural standards in regard to additions on existing buildings. Zimmerman
stated that during the discussion about materials standards they talked about requiring at least 90%
of the facade having to conform to the new requirements. Baker said he would encourage staff to
take the same approach with architectural standards. The Commission agreed.
Johnson asked if there are prohibitions about a building being used as a sign itself. Zimmerman said
the current sign code does have language prohibiting that.
5. Discussion – Mixed Use and Pedestrian Overlay Districts
Zimmerman referred to the 2040 Comp Plan Land Use Plan and reminded the Commission that this
plan calls for some new mixed use land use categories. These include both the Neighborhood and
Community Mixed Use Sub-Districts. He noted that currently the only land in the City zoned Mixed
Use is in the I-394 Corridor and that the 2040 Comp Plan talks about expanding the mixed use
category and using it in other areas of the City. He referred to a map which shows the planning
districts that are designated for mixed use and stated that these areas include certain nodes along
Douglas Drive, the Light Rail Station Area, and the Downtown area, among others. He added that
since the Planning Commission last reviewed the 2040 Comp Plan the Council decided that they want
the former Optum site to be guided for mixed use so once the Met Council approves the 2040 Comp
Plan the City will be amending the Land Use Map. Baker asked why that site was called out.
Zimmerman stated that some proposals came forward that offered a mix of uses and not just an office
use and the Council wants to have the opportunity to potentially allow residential uses on that site as
well.
Zimmerman referred to a map of the future mixed use sites and discussed the differences between
the Neighborhood Mixed Use category which is smaller and more restrictive and the Community
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Feb 25, 2019 – 7 pm
6
Mixed Use category which is bigger and allows for more uses. He stated that the current Mixed Use
Zoning District has three sub-districts that allow for different heights and intensity of uses along I-394.
He referred to the TOD work that has been done and stated that those studies refer to simplified sub-
districts that can be applied elsewhere in the City. He showed an example of a handout that could be
created to address most of the requirements in these sub-districts. He stated that staff is going to
continue working on the elements in the proposed new Mixed Use Zoning District and will come back
to the Planning Commission with more specific details on what this district will look like.
Zimmerman stated that in order to go along with the proposed new Mixed Use Zoning District and to
encourage walking and activity, staff has been reviewing Pedestrian Overlay Districts.
Goellner stated that many of the regulations of the Mixed Use Zoning District and a potential
Pedestrian Overlay District would overlap. She explained that an overlay district is laid on top of a
primary zoning district and that generally, the rules in an overlay district are what govern. She stated
that an overlay district is a good tool to use for parcels that could experience redevelopment
pressure, but are not zoned Mixed Use such as properties along the Golden Valley Road or Douglas
Drive corridors. She stated that a Pedestrian Overlay District may also be helpful because they can
require extra development standards and can help promote high-quality design, visual cohesiveness
and attractiveness in a high-profile corridor. They can also help improve connectivity. She said she
thinks the reason a Pedestrian Overlay District would be used, especially along bike/pedestrian/transit
corridors, is to transition from a very suburban environment to a more urban character, but an urban
character that the City is comfortable with. She referred to a map showing a potential Pedestrian
Overlay District and said staff thinks it might work well in the area along Golden Valley Road between
Hello Apartments and City Hall and then potentially over to Douglas Drive, over to Highway 100 (on
Duluth Street) and then maybe in the future to the Light Rail Station.
Goellner discussed reasons not to have a Pedestrian Overlay District. She stated that if the Overlay
District includes entire corridors, it will include parcels that are single family homes or not under
redevelopment pressure. An Overlay District would create non-conformities and if not adjacent to
existing sidewalks, bike lanes, or high-frequency transit may be premature. She stated that they
should also think about whether the City is ready to make a suburban to urban transition in such large
corridors of if they should consider looking at nodes instead of entire corridors.
Baker questioned if having a Pedestrian Overlay District would create more of an urban feel
eventually. Goellner said she thinks it would and if they choose to reduce the front yard setbacks in
entire corridors eventually it will feel more urban. Baker asked if that is the main thing an Overlay
District would do. Zimmerman stated that height, entrance locations, sidewalk connections, drive-
thrus, and parking lots are often regulated in Overlay Districts in order to keep the corridor pedestrian
friendly. He said this why staff is questioning if it is appropriate to have an Overlay District for the
entire length of the corridor or if it may be more appropriate just in certain areas.
Blum asked about the effect on properties and how far into the properties the Overlay District would
go on either side of the roadway. Zimmerman said an Overlay District could go any depth into a
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting

7
property. He said some Pedestrian Overlay Districts include the first 40 feet of the properties along it,
and some Districts call for any property that is adjacent to it so it depends how much of the property a
city wants to impact.
Blum asked if differently zoned properties can be treated differently within an Overlay District.
Zimmerman explained that the unique thing about an Overlay District is that the regulations apply to
all of the underlying zoning districts equally which is why it may not be the best tool to use along a
corridor where there are many different uses occurring. He said it may make more sense to put the
relevant regulations in the Mixed Use Zoning District language rather than in an Overlay District.
Baker said what appeals to him about a Pedestrian Overlay District is having a corridor that is really
dedicated to bicyclists and is something that is dedicated, wide, and has a lot of people using it.
Zimmerman said they need to think about what is within the public right-of-way and how much of it is
buildings and other things outside of the right-of-way, and how those buildings interact with the
corridor.
Johnson asked if these plans could somehow include a north/south connection over Highway 55 at
Winnetka Ave. or Rhode Island Ave. to the I-394 redevelopment area. Zimmerman stated that is
identified as one of the areas of focus in the Downtown Study that will occur later this year. Baker
suggested showing a connection along Golden Valley Road across Highway 100 to the Light Rail
Station. Blum agreed.
Brookins said his priorities would be first getting the nodes and having the right zoning there, second
would be the way to get there, the transportation connections, and third making those corridors
where they are connecting the transit better.
Baker asked if a Pedestrian Overlay District could include within the existing right-of-way a divided
path that has dedicated bike lanes and walking lanes. Zimmerman referred to the plans for the Bassett
Creek Regional Trail on a section of Golden Valley Road which shows on street bike lanes and a
separate off street bike trail/sidewalk on the south side which would connect the Light Rail Station to
Douglas Drive. Baker said he doesn’t think that is urbanization, he thinks that could increase the value
of homes for people who want to have a bike path right out their front door.
Goellner referred to the City’s bike/pedestrian plan which is different from a Pedestrian Overlay
District. She stated that the bike/pedestrian plan shows the facilities on the roadway. However, a
Pedestrian Overlay District could potentially change front yard setbacks, or not allow parking in a
front yard which would be more impactful so without the trail done yet on Golden Valley Road it may
be too soon for the Overlay District. Baker suggested mapping out an incremental approach. Blum
said they may then risk getting one consistent vision across a corridor. Zimmerman referred to several
different maps that were used in determining the planning districts and discussed the various
parcels/areas that may change sooner than later.

5. BUSINESS
A. Consider Approval of Final Feasibility Study for Bryn Mawr Meadows Water Quality Improvement Project
At the October 2018 meeting the Commission reviewed and discussed the draft feasibility study. Since then, staff
discussed maintenance of the MnDOT ponds with MnDOT and Minneapolis Park and Rec Board (MPRB) staff.
Commission Engineer Chandler introduced Commission Engineer Kimble. Ms. Kimble presented the final feasibility
study and described various concepts, pointing out that the concepts have not changed since the study was first
presented in October. She noted that three concepts are being considered for treating water quality in
conjunction with MPRB reconstruction of the park. She reported the park is located on an old wetland, so
infiltration is not possible and that this project would provide treatment above and beyond the stormwater
treatment needed for the park reconstruction project. She reported that Concept #1 captures runoff from only a
small piece of an adjacent neighborhood; that Concept #2 would capture and treat the first flush of the
neighborhood runoff along with some water that comes through MnDOT’s Penn Pond; and that Concept #3
combines the first two concepts.

Engineer Kimble noted that Penn Pond is currently not performing well and needs significant maintenance.
MnDOT agrees that maintenance is needed and has agreed to perform the maintenance during the park
reconstruction project when access is easier. The CIP project modeling assumes that Penn Pond is functioning as
designed (i.e., maintenance has been performed).
Engineer Kimble noted that an error was discovered in the earlier draft of the study with pollutant load
calculations. She reported that estimated pollutant load reductions are much lower than previously reported,
resulting in an increase in the cost per pound of removal. The error in the draft study was due to reporting the
TOTAL pounds removed for the entire model run over multiple years, rather than the ANNUAL pounds removed.
She noted the revised numbers are more in line with what we typically see for water quality projects.
Engineer Kimble recommended approving the study and moving forward with Concepts 2 or 3. She noted that
Concept 2 is the most cost effective for the pollutant removal and that Concept 3 is worthy of consideration
because it’s the only way to treat that runoff from that neighborhood.
Commissioner Welch noted that even though this is a simple concept, there are a lot of “moving parts.” He
mentioned that he was nervous about relying on MnDOT to maintain Penn Pond and relying on MPRB to actually
reconstruct the park.
Engineer Chandler noted that the costs were based on the sediment being contaminated and that actual costs
could be lower if the soils aren’t contaminated, but that won’t be known until the final design phase.
Administrator Jester noted that there may be grant funds available to deal with contaminated soils.
Engineer Kimble reported that MnDOT staff verbally agreed to clean out Penn Pond during park reconstruction but
that there isn’t a commitment in writing. MPRB staff agreed it makes sense to allow access to the pond through
the park during park reconstruction. It was noted that although stormwater management ponds aren’t installed as
often as they once were, there are no other cost effective options for treatment in this area due to poor soils and
high groundwater.
Commissioner Welch wondered if the Commission would be criticized for installing a stormwater pond in a widely-
used park for recreation. Administrator Jester said there’s no indication that there is any backlash about the
design from MPRB or the public or that MnDOT won’t fulfill their obligations to maintain the pond. She noted an
agreement with the City of Minneapolis to implement the CIP could be contingent on MPRB actually beginning
design and MnDOT signing the agreement to actually maintain the pond.
Liz Stout, Minneapolis TAC, point out that this project presents a unique opportunity to treat the stormwater from
this established neighborhood. Ms. Stout also said that she and the City of Minneapolis can help communicate and
negotiate with MPRB and MnDOT.
Commissioner Carlson ask for confirmation that this project would not be impacted by possible redevelopment in
the Bassett Creek Valley area. Engineer Kimble assured that it would not be impacted.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve the Final Feasibility Study for Bryn Mawr Meadows Water
Quality Improvement Project, to move forward with Concept 3, to engage MnDOT in signing an agreement to
maintain Penn Pond, and talk with Hennepin County about soil investigation funds. Commissioner Scanlan
seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 9-0.
After the vote it was noted that education and aesthetics related to this project are important.

B. Review Information and Consider Recommendations for Flood Control Project Deep Tunnel Inspection and
Potential Tour
At the meeting in June 2018, commissioners expressed interest in a tour for commissioners and TAC members of
the deep tunnel during the routine inspection originally slated for last fall. Commission Engineer Chandler
introduced Commission Engineer Herbert. Engineer Herbert reported that he was coordinating with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to schedule the deep tunnel inspection during early November 2018. However, the water
control plan was not approved and the inspection was cancelled. Based on further coordination with the Corps,
Engineer Herbert scheduled the Bassett Creek deep tunnel inspection for the week of February 25, 2019 to
minimize navigation impacts and minimize disruptions to Xcel Energy’s operation of the St. Anthony Falls
hydropower dam.
Engineer Herbert explained that this inspection is a significant undertaking because the creek discharges below
the water level of the Mississippi River, it is regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers, and there are many
property owners along the River’s middle pool. He noted there has been a significant amount of coordination with
the Army Corps of Engineers and that a barge may need to be moved, so there are more details to be worked out.
Engineer Herbert stated that the inspection is for observation only, not cleaning of sediment or other repairs.
Engineer Herbert walked through the recommendations that are outlined in the memo:
1. Authorize the Administrator to allocate up to $15,000 from the Flood Control Project Long-Term Maintenance
fund to address potential “last-minute” items that may require hiring a contractor or addressing other unforeseen
issues that cannot be addressed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the City of Minneapolis.
2. Gather input regarding participation and an approximate head count of the Commissioners/TAC members that
may be interested in a tunnel tour.
3. If there is enough interest in the tour(s), authorize up to $5,000 from the 2019 Surveys and Studies Fund to pay
for the planning, coordination, expenses and other costs associated with holding the tour(s).
4. Request assistance from member cities in providing safety equipment for their commissioners/TAC members
participating in the tour.
Commissioner Harwell said she thinks $5,000 for an adventure to see the tunnel is not wise use of Commission
funds. She suggested the tour be videoed and shared with the Commission. Commissioners Fruen and Scanlan
agreed.
Engineer Herbert noted that a different watershed district did something similar and the participants enjoyed the
tour and found it very educational. Commissioner Harwell maintained there are other ways to see flood control
projects that don’t pose safety threats.
There was some discussion about the cost of the tunnel inspection without the tour, which is estimated at
$36,000.
Minneapolis TAC member Liz Stout that the city may fund a tour of the tunnel for city staff and a few elected
officials. She noted it’s critical to learn about this critical infrastructure and to educate state legislators, and other
politicians.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to proceed with the inspection without a tour for commissioners and to
follow-up with a video for the Commission. Commissioner Harwell seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion
carried 6-3. [Cities of Medicine Lake, Minneapolis, St. Louis Park voted against the motion.]
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve the use of contingency funds from the Flood Control Project
Long-Term Maintenance, up to $15,000 for the tunnel inspection. Alternate Commissioner John Byrnes seconded.
Upon a vote, the motion carried 9-0.

C. Receive Update on Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (MAWD) and Metro MAWD
Administrator Jester provided more information on meetings and opportunities for the Commission’s involvement
in MAWD and Metro MAWD. The following items are updates and recommendations.
The next MAWD event is a legislative reception (afternoon/evening of Feb 20th), and Day at the Capitol (breakfast
and all-day Feb 21st). Cost is $100/participant (increases to $125 after Feb 13th). These are costs that can be
reimbursed. Commissioners Scanlan and Harwell expressed interest in attending. There was some discussion
about Commissioners actively lobbying on behalf of the Commission, which would be a new activity that has been
avoided in the past.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to reimburse commissioners for the cost of registration to attend the
MAWD Day at the Capitol events provided commissioners do not speak on behalf of BCWMC. Commissioner Fruen
seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion carried 9-0.
Administrator Jester continued with MAWD updates, noting that MAWD appoints four watershed administrators
to represent MAWD on the State’s Local Government Water Roundtable’s Workgroup (which is similar to an
advisory committee). The MAWD Board of Directors is inviting the BCWMC Administrator to hold one of those
positions in 2019. This would entail attending three to four meetings during the year, typically held in or near St
Cloud. Administrator Jester noted this workgroup has been an influential group in the past, having been tasked
with developing white papers to inform state policy on watershed planning, management, and funding.
MOTION: Commissioner Welch moved to approve Administrator Jester’s participation in the State’s Local
Government Water Roundtable’s Workgroup. Commissioner Scanlan seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the
motion carried 9-0.
Administrator Jester explained that BCWMC Commissioners will be added to the Metro MAWD email list and can
expect emails from its coordinator Mark Doneux. She noted the next Metro MAWD meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, January 29th at 7:00 p.m. in St. Paul. The meeting is geared for watershed managers and commissioners.
Administrator Jester reported she plans to attend the meeting to learn more about the group.
Administrator Jester also reported that an invoice for 2019 MAWD member dues of $500 will be on the February
BCWMC agenda. She noted dues for 2020 are still unknown but are likely to be around $5,000.
6. COMMUNICATIONS
A.Administrator’s Report

reported that she recently submitted an application for a Hennepin County AIS Prevention grant totaling $13,104.
B.Chair
Chair de Lambert noted that at next month’s meeting the commission will elect officers and make committee
appointments. He reported he is planning to step down from the position of Chair. Commissioner Welch urged him
to remain in the position. Commissioner Carlson complimented Chair de Lambert on being impartial among other
positive traits.
C.Commissioners

EXHIBIT A
Elimination of Work
Should any Contract items be eliminated from the Contract or any work be deleted or
should the City order termination on a Contract item before completion of that unit,
Contractor shall be reimbursed for all costs incurred prior to notification that are not the
result of unauthorized work. Compensation will be made on the following basis:
(1) Accepted quantities of Work completed in accordance with the Contract
will be paid for at the Contract prices.
(2) For materials that have been ordered but not incorporated in the Work,
reimbursement will be made in accordance with the procedure set out
below for Surplus Material.
(3) For partially completed items, accepted W ork shall be paid for on the basis of
a percentage of the Contract bid price equal to the percentage of actual
accomplishment toward completion of the item. In arriving at this

items will be considered to be the actual purchase price of the materials, plus
transportation costs, to which will be added fifteen percent (15%) of the sum
thereof.
(4) Contractor shall also be reimbursed for such actual expenditures for
equipment, mobilization, and overhead as the City considers directly
attributable to the eliminated work and that are not recovered as part of
the direct payment for the W ork.
Payment for completed Work at the Contract prices and for partially completed Work and
materials in accordance with the above provisions, together with such other allowances as
are made for fixed costs, shall constitute final and full compensation for the Work related to
those Contract items that have been partially or totally eliminated from the Contract.
Payment for Surplus Material
Payment for materials that have been ordered in furtherance of the Work, but that are
not to be used because (1) of cancellation of the Contract or a portion thereof; (2) of an
order to terminate the Work before completion of the entire unit; or (3) the quantity
ordered by the Engineer was in excess of the quantity needed, will be made in

neighborhood streets included in the 2019 program. Staking tasks for this project will include placement of
horizontal control, vertical control, utility staking for private utilities, water main stakes, storm sewer stakes,
curb and gutter stakes, blue tops after curb is in place, ADA ramp stakes and expenses. All survey
coordination for construction staking and observation will be between the survey crew chief and the City.
Resident Project Representative (RPR)
The on-site representative for Resident Project Representative (RPR) is the Engineer’s agent at the site
and will act as directed by and under supervision of the Engineer. The RPR shall serve as the liaison with
the contractor, working principally through the contractor’s superintendent. They will assist in helping the
contractor understand the intent of the Contract Documents. The field personnel will review the progress
schedule, shop drawings, and required submittals, Schedule of Materials Control and consult with the
Engineer concerning acceptability. The RPR will be responsible for maintaining job site files, for
correspondence, meeting reports, field orders, and supplemental agreements. They will keep a daily diary
or log book. Records pertaining to quantities and applications for payment will be the responsibility of the
RPR. The RPR will also keep information pertaining to record plans and will schedule the survey crew
based on the staking requests from the contractor’s representative.
Observation
SEH will provide observation services including attendance of the pre-construction meeting and shop
drawing review on drainage structures for the project area. A budget has been included for minor technical
support if needed for geotechnical issues or other specialty items that may arise. Time has also been built
in to assist with project closeout activities.
Record Plans
The City will complete the record drawings.
PROJECT TEAM
Scott Haupt will be available to answer design related questions and provide coordination as required
between City staff and the surveying and will provide project management of our contract with the City. He
will also be available to review design issues in the field and will attend the weekly project construction
meetings as necessary. Brian Gohl will serve as Resident Project Representative (RPR) and will assist the
City with field representation. He will be assigned a staff engineer that will assist him with the day to day
duties. Nick Domiano will be the lead Survey Crew Chief assigned. Hector Flores will be available to
provide geotechnical field support as may be required with the subgrade correction work.
SCHEDULE
We anticipate construction starting in April and ending in October 2019, however the actual schedule will
depend on the Contractor and weather. There are multiple construction projects being undertaken in the
City of Golden Valley this summer and we expect Brian and his assistant to spread their time amongst
many of them in conjunction with City staff.
COMPENSATION
SEH proposes to be compensated for the scope of work proposed in the Agreement on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses, including
reproductions, mileage, car allowance, and equipment. Additional services required beyond the tasks and
estimated hours as described can be negotiated or provided as extra work on an hourly basis.

3. G. Modifying 2019 General Wages and Salary for Certain Positions and 2019 Budget
Amendment
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Since the approval of the 2019 Budget on December 4, 2018, certain positions have changed due
to workload or retirements and resignations. The following departments are requesting wage and
salary changes to certain employees effective April 1, 2019 and the budget impact for the
remainder of the calendar year 2019:
Fire Department:
The position of Battalion Chief was reevaluated with the institution of scheduled duty crews. Due
to the additional responsibilities, this position should be at the level provided on the attached
resolution. The additional 2019 budget impact for salaries and benefits is $3,580.
Due to the resignation of the part time Office Clerk, this position was reevaluated and will be
hired as a part time Administrative Assistant. The wage for Administrative Assistant has been
approved with the 2019 General Fund Budget. The additional 2019 budget impact for wages and
benefits is $1,860.
Public Works Maintenance
Due to an upcoming retirement and resignation of two leads in the Utility Department, the
current positions were reevaluated. The position of Lead will be reduced to one instead of two
and will create two new positions as Utilities Specialist and Meter Specialist. No additional staff
will be added in this department. With the new positions, the workload of this department will
be better served. The additional 2019 budget impact for wages and benefits is $1,795. We will
not make a budget adjustment at this time for the Water and Sewer Utility Fund.
The Lead position is also in the Park and Street Maintenance Department. Each department has
one position that will receive the wage on the resolution. The additional 2019 budget impact for
wages and benefits is $4,000 for Parks and $4,000 for Streets.

3. H. Authorize Contract for Curbside Textile Recycling Program
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Drew Chirpich, Environmental Specialist
Summary
City staff and the Environmental Commission have reviewed the contract proposal from
WasteZero, a curbside textile recycling program. WasteZero mails bags and promotional
postcards to residents which can be filled with used clothing and other unwanted home goods
and then placed near their recycling carts. WasteZero then sends out a transit van to retrieve the
bags on the same day as resident’s recycling pickup. New bags are redistributed upon pickup or
upon request by residents.
Residents may still drop off home goods items at thrift stores to receive tax deductions and are
not obligated to participate in the program.
The City receives compensation of $20 per ton of gathered materials. WasteZero provides a
customer service hotline, so that City staff coordination should be minimal.
Approximately 30% of the collected material is distributed to thrift stores, 30% is appropriate for
overseas markets, and the remainder is shredded to provide material for insulation and industrial
wipers.

3. I. Supporting Submittal of Application to Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for Trail
Connection at Laurel and Colorado Avenues
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Senior Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages the Local Trail Connections
program to provide grants to local units of government to promote relatively short trail
connections between where people live and desirable locations. Nonprofit organizations and
government entities are eligible for this funding.
City staff recognized this as an excellent opportunity to fund the construction of a short trail that
connects the neighborhoods north of Laurel Avenue at Dakota Avenue and Brunswick Avenue with
the I-394 Redevelopment Area to the south. Construction of the trail is estimated to be $70,000.
The project also includes a crosswalk on Laurel Avenue that connects to an existing sidewalk on
Colorado Avenue, but is not eligible for funding by the grant. The sidewalk improvements are
estimated to be $15,000. This project is identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and it is
partially funded in the City’s 2020 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). If the City is selected,
construction would take place in 2020.
A resolution of support from City Council is required as part of the application process. If awarded,
the City would need to provide a local match of 25%, which is allocated in the Street 2020 CIP (S-
030).

Agenda Item
6. A. Approval of Flood Proofing Cost Share Reimbursement Policy
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Development and Assets Supervisor
Summary
The City of Golden Valley has experienced flooding and flood damage for many years. The flood
related damage includes damage to property and infrastructure, disruption of public services,
life-safety issues, and negative socio-economic impacts.
In 2017, the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission adopted a flood prediction
model that incorporated rainfall frequency and duration information that had been updated for
the upper Midwest. This information more accurately reflects the trend of rainstorms that yield
heavier rainfall totals over shorter periods of time. The results of the modeling show that the
base flood elevations, the flood level that has a one-percent chance of occurring in any given
year, have generally increased across the City and the Bassett Creek Watershed. The model also
indicated flooding in areas that are geographically removed from the creek and ponds but are
hydraulically connected to these waterbodies. The results of the model indicate that there are
approximately 240 properties within Golden Valley that are at risk of flood damage.
In order to address the negative impacts of flooding in our community, the Council authorized
staff to prepare a policy to provide property owners incentive to flood proof their homes. This
policy, which is attached for reference, includes reimbursement of 40% of flood proofing
expenses up to a maximum reimbursement of $50,000 per property. The policy also includes
criteria for eligibility for this program as well as other policy detail.
The 2019 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes $250,000 per year for flood proofing at risk
properties. This portion of the CIP is funded by the City’s Storm Water Utility Fund. It is expected
that future CIP’s will continue to fund this policy based upon City Council approval.

CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY
FLOOD MITIGATION COST SHARE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
March 12, 2019
Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to meet the City’s goal to increase community resilience by
reducing flood risk and flood damages to properties located in flood prone areas throughout
the City. Reducing flood risk and flood damage citywide will improve public health and safety,
reduce public liability and cost, and preserve economic values, benefitting the entire
community.
Background:
The City has historically experienced community-wide flooding and flood damage. Flooding is a
natural disaster that can cause loss of life, damage to property and infrastructure, disruption to
public services, and negative health and socio-economic impacts. The National Weather Service
estimates flood losses in the U.S. at about $8 billion per year.
In recent decades, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Climatology Office has
observed more annual precipitation and more extreme rain events in this region than in
previous decades. Precipitation models used by government agencies have been updated to
reflect these observations.
The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) developed a watershed-
wide flood model based on updated topography and precipitation data (the “Model”) detailed
in its report Bassett Creek Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses, Phase 2 XPSWMM Model Report,
August 7, 2017. According to the Model, the flood depths in many areas of the City are now
higher than previously mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). As a
result, there is more flood risk and vulnerability now than in years past, and more properties in
the City are identified as being at risk of flooding.
The areas of increased flood risk are located near Bassett Creek and its tributaries and in
localized flood prone areas spread throughout the City. This is shown in Figure 3-20 of the City
of Golden Valley Surface Water Management Plan. Flood risk across the City varies and the
Model projects that flood depths may reach up to 5 feet in some areas.
The City has a comprehensive floodplain management program and has completed numerous
public flood mitigation projects over the years to help protect life and property. In addition to
the City’s efforts, property owners are encouraged to protect their homes from flood damage
through retrofitting measures known as floodproofing or flood protection barriers. These
measures may involve sealing up a door or window opening in the lowest level of the home or
constructing a levee or floodwall around the outside of the home.
In order to provide incentives to property owners to invest in the protection of their homes,
and reduce the liability and cost to the public of major flooding events, the City desires to
implement a flood mitigation cost share reimbursement program (the “Program”). The intent of
this policy is to clearly define and outline the requirements of the Program. The requirements
set forth in this policy will further the City’s resilience and sustainability, water resources, and
housing goals listed in its 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Eligibility:
This policy applies to existing primary structures located on residential single-family and duplex
properties that meet at least one of the following two criteria:
1. Is identified as being at risk of flooding in a report or study completed or approved by
the City, BCWMC, State, or Federal agency (examples include the 2016 Medicine Lake
Road & Winnetka Avenue Area Long Term Flood Mitigation Study, the 2002 Flood
Damage Reduction Study, and drainage area studies completed for developments); or
2. Located in or adjacent to the floodplain and has a low opening elevation or lowest
adjacent grade elevation that is below the base flood elevation as evidenced by an
elevation certificate completed by a professional surveyor licensed in the State of
Minnesota.
Properties meeting the eligibility criteria above that have completed flood mitigation projects
prior to adoption of this policy shall not be eligible for participation in the cost share
reimbursement program.
This policy does not apply to properties located outside the floodplain that have experienced
water intrusion from groundwater or sub-surface sources as determined by the City Engineer
based on available evidence and data.
This policy does not apply to new construction, or to accessory structures identified as being at
risk of flooding.
Application Process:
Applications must be received by October 1 of each year for implementation the following year.
Applications shall be submitted on the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and must contain all
required information, plans and exhibits, including the following:
1. Elevation certificate completed by professional surveyor or engineer licensed in the
State of Minnesota.
2. Type of flood mitigation measure proposed and brief project description.
3. Plan completed by a licensed design professional or contractor.
4. Planning level cost estimate based on consultation with a professional engineer,
architect, or contractor.
5. If applicable, supporting documentation showing evidence of previous flood damage
(insurance claims, invoices, photos, etc)
The City will review and evaluate applications in October and November to determine which
projects will be selected to move forward for design, permitting, and construction the following
year. Applicants will be notified in writing by November 30 as to (1) whether their project was
selected to move forward; (2) next steps in the process; and (3) the maximum dollar amount for
which their project is eligible.
Successful applicants shall accept or reject the selection by December 31. If the City does not
receive confirmation of acceptance from an applicant by December 31, the approval may be
withdrawn and the funds awarded to the next eligible applicant.
Selection Criteria:
The City will select projects for participation in the program based on the following criteria,
listed in order of priority.
1. Difference between base flood elevation and lowest opening elevation.
2. Difference between base flood elevation and lowest adjacent grade.
3. Difference between base flood elevation and lowest floor elevation.
4. Type of flood mitigation measure proposed.
5. Number of past flood events as evidenced by insurance claims, or similar written and
photographic documentation acceptable to the City.
6. Cost of damage from past flood events as evidenced by insurance claims, or similar
written and photographic documentation acceptable to the City.
If two or more projects receive the same ranking during evaluation, the earliest submitted
project will be selected.
Standards for Flood Mitigation:
All projects selected for program participation must meet the following minimum
requirements:
1. All plans must be completed and signed by a licensed design professional (engineer or
architect licensed in the State of Minnesota) or contractor, depending on flood
mitigation measure proposed.
2. Plans must conform to the guidelines listed in the FEMA Homeowner’s Guide to
Retrofitting (June 2014 or current version)
3. The following elements must be shown and labeled on the plan:
a. All applicable information from the elevation certificate
b. Base flood elevation
c. Existing and proposed topography, contours, spot elevations along foundation of
home at all building corners and mid points of walls, spot elevations at property
corners
d. Profile view and applicable details for the proposed flood mitigation solution
e. Cut/fill diagram showing proposed changes to flood storage volume
f. Architectural plans as necessary
g. Other information the City deems necessary to review plan
4. Flood protection barriers do not need to be certified as meeting FEMA and US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) standards, however, they must meet all applicable federal,
state, and local requirements as outlined in the floodplain and stormwater management
section of City code.
5. Flood protection barriers must be located as close to the structure as possible to
preserve and maintain flood storage volumes to the extent feasible.
6. The property owner, licensed design professional, or contractor must obtain all required
permits and approvals from the City and any other applicable governmental entities
prior to commencing work and must follow all applicable laws, statutes, codes and
ordinances.
7. Flood mitigation measures must meet the City’s freeboard requirements as measured
from the base flood elevation in effect at the time of application. (For example, if the
base flood elevation around a pond is 902 at the time of application, and the freeboard
requirement is 2 feet, then the flood mitigation measures to protect a structure must be
constructed to an elevation of at least 904.)
8. Property owners must enter into a flood mitigation agreement with the City in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, which the City may record in the Hennepin County
property records. The agreement shall specify the requirements of the reimbursement
process and amount of award.
Incentive Amount:
The City will award each successful applicant a one-time reimbursement incentive of 40% of the
eligible flood mitigation costs up to a maximum of $50,000 per property. The final not-to-
exceed amount awarded to the applicant will be outlined in the flood mitigation agreement.
The final reimbursement amount will be based upon actual cost once the project is complete.
Funding for the cost share reimbursement program shall come from the City’s 5-year Capital
Improvement Program, Storm Sewer Section, SS-34 Flood Mitigation as approved annually by
City Council. Any funds remaining at the end of each program year shall accrue for use in
subsequent years.
It is possible that projects approved for construction in one program year may not be
completed and reimbursed until the following program year. Staff will work with applicants and
the City’s Finance Department to monitor the availability of funds.
Property owners may work together to propose flood proofing projects that extend across
multiple properties. Costs for such projects must be divided by the owners based on the value
of work performed on each property or other method as agreed upon in writing by the owners.
Definitions:
Base flood: The flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any
given year. This is the regulatory standard also referred to as the "100-year flood." The
base flood is the national standard used by the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) and all Federal agencies for the purposes of requiring the purchase of flood
insurance and regulating new development. Base flood elevations are typically shown
on FEMAs flood insurance rate maps.
The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) developed a
watershed-wide flood model detailed in its report “Bassett Creek Hydrologic and
Hydraulic Analyses, Phase 2 XPSWMM Model Report, August 7, 2017.” The base flood
elevations and associated maps provided in this report have been adopted by the
BCWMC and the City as part of its floodplain management code.
Base flood elevation: The elevation of the base flood.
Elevation Certificate: An administrative tool developed by FEMA used to provide
elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain
management ordinances. The Elevation Certificate must be completed by a land
surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information.
This certificate is used only to certify building elevations.
Eligible flood mitigation costs: Flood mitigation project costs that are directly related to
permitting, engineering and design, and construction of the flood mitigation measures.
Costs for services, materials, or improvements that are deemed aesthetic or decorative
and beyond what would be considered normal or typical will not be eligible for
reimbursement. The City Engineer shall have the final decision on whether or not project
costs are eligible.
Floodplain: Area of land inundated by a precipitation event having a 1% chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year. The floodplain includes areas identified in the
FEMA Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map and the BCWMC watershed-
wide flood model and report.
Freeboard: Also known as the regulatory flood protection elevation. The elevation to
which uses regulated by the City’s floodplain management code are required to be
elevated or floodproofed (but not less than two feet above the base flood elevation).
Floodproofing: A combination of structural provisions, changes, or adjustments to
properties and structures subject to flooding, primarily for the reduction or elimination
of flood damages. Preferred approach is sealing the home and adjusting the grade to
prevent floodwaters from entering.
Flood protection barriers: Construction of a floodwall or levee around a home to hold
back floodwaters.
Flood Mitigation Agreement: An agreement between the City and the Owner that
formally sets forth approval and requirements to achieve flood protection in accordance
with this Policy.
Lowest adjacent grade: Elevation of the lowest ground surface that touches any of the
exterior walls of the home.
Lowest floor elevation: Elevation of the lowest floor on the lowest enclosed area
(including basement). An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure used solely for parking
of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area, is not
considered a building's lowest floor, provided that such enclosure is not built so as to
render the structure in violation of the applicable non-elevation design requirements of
44 CFR 60.3.
Lowest opening elevation: Elevation of the lowest opening of the home, typically a door
or window.

Disclosure: The disclosure of information on this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide the information requested may
result in the inability to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or the applicant may be subject to
higher premium rates for flood insurance. Information will only be released as permitted by law.
Purpose of the Elevation Certificate
The Elevation Certificate is an important administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is to be used to
provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine
the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision
based on fill (LOMR-F).
The Elevation Certificate is required in order to properly rate Post-FIRM buildings, which are buildings constructed after publication
of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), located in flood insurance Zones A1–A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, V1–V30, V (with
BFE), AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, and AR/AO. The Elevation Certificate is not required for Pre-FIRM buildings unless
the building is being rated under the optional Post-FIRM flood insurance rules.
As part of the agreement for making flood insurance available in a community, the NFIP requires the community to adopt floodplain
management regulations that specify minimum requirements for reducing flood losses. One such requirement is for the community
to obtain the elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new and substantially improved buildings, and maintain a
record of such information. The Elevation Certificate provides a way for a community to document compliance with the community's
floodplain management ordinance.
Use of this certificate does not provide a waiver of the flood insurance purchase requirement. Only a LOMA or LOMR-F from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can amend the FIRM and remove the Federal mandate for a lending institution
to require the purchase of flood insurance. However, the lending institution has the option of requiring flood insurance even if a
LOMA/LOMR-F has been issued by FEMA. The Elevation Certificate may be used to support a LOMA or LOMR-F request. Lowest
floor and lowest adjacent grade elevations certified by a surveyor or engineer will be required if the certificate is used to support a
LOMA or LOMR-F request. A LOMA or LOMR-F request must be submitted with either a completed FEMA MT-EZ or MT-1
package, whichever is appropriate.
This certificate is used only to certify building elevations. A separate certificate is required for floodproofing. Under the NFIP, non-
residential buildings can be floodproofed up to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). A floodproofed building is a building that
has been designed and constructed to be watertight (substantially impermeable to floodwaters) below the BFE. Floodproofing of
residential buildings is not permitted under the NFIP unless FEMA has granted the community an exception for residential
floodproofed basements. The community must adopt standards for design and construction of floodproofed basements before
FEMA will grant a basement exception. For both floodproofed non-residential buildings and residential floodproofed basements in
communities that have been granted an exception by FEMA, a floodproofing certificate is required.
Additional guidance can be found in FEMA Publication 467-1, Floodplain Management Bulletin: Elevation Certificate, available on
FEMA's website at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/3539?id=1727.

Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate
The Elevation Certificate is to be completed by a land surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by law to certify
elevation information when elevation information is required for Zones A1–A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, V1–V30, V
(with BFE), AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, or AR/AO. Community officials who are authorized by law or
ordinance to provide floodplain management information may also complete this form. For Zones AO and A (without
BFE), a community official, a property owner, or an owner's representative may provide information on this certificate,
unless the elevations are intended for use in supporting a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F. Certified elevations must be
included if the purpose of completing the Elevation Certificate is to obtain a LOMA or LOMR-F.
The property owner, the owner's representative, or local official who is authorized by law to administer the community
floodplain ordinance can complete Section A and Section B. The partially completed form can then be given to the land
surveyor, engineer, or architect to complete Section C. The land surveyor, engineer, or architect should verify the
information provided by the property owner or owner's representative to ensure that this certificate is complete.
In Puerto Rico only, elevations for building information and flood hazard information may be entered in meters.
SECTION A – PROPERTY INFORMATION
Items A1–A4. This section identifies the building, its location, and its owner. Enter the name(s) of the building owner(s),
the building's complete street address, and the lot and block numbers. If the building's address is different from the
owner's address, enter the address of the building being certified. If the address is a rural route or a Post Office box
number, enter the lot and block numbers, the tax parcel number, the legal description, or an abbreviated location
description based on distance and direction from a fixed point of reference. For the purposes of this certifica te, "building"
means both a building and a manufactured (mobile) home.
A map may be attached to this certificate to show the location of the building on the property. A tax map, FIRM, or
detailed community map is appropriate. If no map is available, provide a sketch of the property location, and the location
of the building on the property. Include appropriate landmarks such as nearby roads, intersections, and bodies of water.
For building use, indicate whether the building is residential, non-residential, an addition to an existing residential or non-
residential building, an accessory building (e.g., garage), or other type of structure. Use the Comments area of the
appropriate section if needed, or attach additional comments.
Item A5. Provide latitude and longitude coordinates for the center of the front of the building. Use either decimal degrees
(e.g., 39.5043°, −110.7585°) or degrees, minutes, seconds (e.g., 39° 30' 15.5", −110° 45' 30.7") format. If decimal
degrees are used, provide coordinates to at least 5 decimal places or better. When using degrees, minutes, seconds,
provide seconds to at least 1 decimal place or better. The latitude and longitude coordinates must be accurate within 66
feet. When the latitude and longitude are provided by a surveyor, check the "Yes" box in Section D and indicate the
method used to determine the latitude and longitude in the Comments area of Section D. If the Elevation Certificate is
being certified by other than a licensed surveyor, engineer, or architect, this information is not required. Provide the type
of datum used to obtain the latitude and longitude. FEMA prefers the use of NAD 1983.
Item A6. If the Elevation Certificate is being used to obtain flood insurance through the NFIP, the certifier must provide at
least 2 photographs showing the front and rear of the building taken within 90 days from the date of certification. The
photographs must be taken with views confirming the building description and diagram number provided in Section A. To
the extent possible, these photographs should show the entire building including foundation. If the building has split-level
or multi-level areas, provide at least 2 additional photographs showing side views of the building. In addition, when
applicable, provide a photograph of the foundation showing a representative example of the flood openings or vents. All
photographs must be in color and measure at least 3" × 3". Digital photographs are acceptable.
Item A7. Select the diagram on pages 7–9 that best represents the building. Then enter the diagram number and use
the diagram to identify and determine the appropriate elevations requested in Items C2.a–h. If you are unsure of the
correct diagram, select the diagram that most closely resembles the building being certified.
Item A8.a. Provide the square footage of the crawlspace or enclosure(s) below the lowest elevated floor of an elevated
building with or without permanent flood openings. Take the measurement from the outside of the crawlspace or
enclosure(s). Examples of elevated buildings constructed with crawlspace and enclosure(s) are shown in Diagrams 6–9

OMB No. 1660-0008 Expiration Date: November 30, 2018
NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions –Page 1 of 9
Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate (continued)
on pages 8–9. Diagrams 2A, 2B, 4, and 9 should be used for a building constructed with a crawlspace floor that is below
the exterior grade on all sides.
Items A8.b–d. Enter in Item A8.b the number of permanent flood openings in the crawlspace or enclosure(s) that are
no higher than 1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. (A
permanent flood opening is a flood vent or other opening that allows the free passage of water automatically in both
directions without human intervention.) If the interior grade elevation is used, note this in the Comments area of
Section D. Estimate the total net area of all such permanent flood openings in square inches, excluding any bars,
louvers, or other covers of the permanent flood openings, and enter the total in Item A8.c. If the net area cannot be
reasonably estimated, provide the size of the flood openings without consideration of any covers and indicate in the
Comments area the type of cover that exists in the flood openings. Indicate in Item A8.d whether the flood openings
are engineered. If applicable, attach a copy of the Individual Engineered Flood Openings Certification or an
Evaluation Report issued by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC ES), if you have it. If the
crawlspace or enclosure(s) have no permanent flood openings, or if the openings are not within 1.0 foot above
adjacent grade, enter "0" (zero) in Items A8.b–c.
Item A9.a. Provide the square footage of the attached garage with or without permanent flood openings. Take the
measurement from the outside of the garage.
Items A9.b–d. Enter in Item A9.b the number of permanent flood openings in the attached garage that are no higher
than 1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. (A permanent
flood opening is a flood vent or other opening that allows the free passage of water automatically in both directions
without human intervention.) If the interior grade elevation is used, note this in the Comments area of Section D. This
includes any openings that are in the garage door that are no higher than 1.0 foot above the adjacent grade. Estimate
the total net area of all such permanent flood openings in square inches and enter the total in Item A9.c. If the net
area cannot be reasonably estimated, provide the size of the flood openings without consideration of any covers and
indicate in the Comments area the type of cover that exists in the flood openings. Indicate in Item A9.d whether the
flood openings are engineered. If applicable, attach a copy of the Individual Engineered Flood Openings Certification
or an Evaluation Report issued by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC ES), if you have it. If the
garage has no permanent flood openings, or if the openings are not within 1.0 foot above adjacent grade, enter
"0" (zero) in Items A9.b–c.
SECTION B – FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) INFORMATION
Complete the Elevation Certificate on the basis of the FIRM in effect at the time of the certification.
The information for Section B is obtained by reviewing the FIRM panel that includes the building's location. Information
about the current FIRM is available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by calling
1-800-358-9616. If a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR-F) has been issued by FEMA,
please provide the letter date and case number in the Comments area of Section D or Section G, as appropriate.
For a building in an area that has been annexed by one community but is shown on another community's FIRM, enter
the community name and 6-digit number of the annexing community in Item B1, the name of the county or new county, if
necessary, in Item B2, and the FIRM index date for the annexing community in Item B6. Enter information from the
actual FIRM panel that shows the building location, even if it is the FIRM for the previous jurisdiction, in Items B4, B5,
B7, B8, and B9.
If the map in effect at the time of the building's construction was other than the current FIRM, and you have the past map
information pertaining to the building, provide the information in the Comments area of Section D.
Item B1. NFIP Community Name & Community Number. Enter the complete name of the community in which the
building is located and the associated 6-digit community number. For a newly incorporated community, use the name
and 6-digit number of the new community. Under the NFIP, a "community" is any State or area or political subdivision
thereof, or any Indian tribe or authorized native organization, that has authority to adopt and enforce floodplain
management regulations for the areas within its jurisdiction. To determine the current community number, see the
NFIP Community Status Book, available on FEMA's web site at https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-
program/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book, or call 1-800-358-9616.
NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions –Page 2 of 9
Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate (continued)
Item B2. County Name. Enter the name of the county or counties in which the community is located. For an
unincorporated area of a county, enter "unincorporated area." For an independent city, enter "independent city."
Item B3. State. Enter the 2-letter state abbreviation (for example, VA, TX, CA).
Items B4–B5. Map/Panel Number and Suffix. Enter the 10-character "Map Number" or "Community Panel Number"
shown on the FIRM where the building or manufactured (mobile) home is located. For maps in a county-wide format,
the sixth character of the "Map Number" is the letter "C" followed by a 4-digit map number. For maps not in a county-
wide format, enter the "Community Panel Number" shown on the FIRM.
Item B6. FIRM Index Date. Enter the effective date or the map revised date shown on the FIRM Index.
Item B7. FIRM Panel Effective/Revised Date. Enter the map effective date or the map revised date shown on the
FIRM panel. This will be the latest of all dates shown on the map. The current FIRM panel effective date can be
determined by calling 1-800-358-9616.
Item B8. Flood Zone(s). Enter the flood zone, or flood zones, in which the building is located. All flood zones
containing the letter "A" or "V" are considered Special Flood Hazard Areas. The flood zones are A, AE, A1–A30, V,
VE, V1–V30, AH, AO, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, and AR/AO. Each flood zone is defined in the legend of
the FIRM panel on which it appears.
Item B9. Base Flood Elevation(s). Using the appropriate Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Profile, Floodway Data Table, or
FIRM panel, locate the property and enter the BFE (or base flood depth) of the building site. If the building is located
in more than 1 flood zone in Item B8, list all appropriate BFEs in Item B9. BFEs are shown on a FIRM or FIS Profile
for Zones A1–A30, AE, AH, V1–V30, VE, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, and AR/AO; flood depth numbers are
shown for Zone AO. Use the AR BFE if the building is located in any of Zones AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, or
AR/AO. In A or V zones where BFEs are not provided on the FIRM, BFEs may be available from another source. For
example, the community may have established BFEs or obtained BFE data from other sources for the building site.
For subdivisions and other developments of more than 50 lots or 5 acres, establishment of BFEs is required by the
community's floodplain management ordinance. If a BFE is obtained from another source, enter the BFE in Item B9.
In an A Zone where BFEs are not available, complete Section E and enter N/A for Section B, Item B9. Enter the BFE
to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico).
Item B10. Indicate the source of the BFE that you entered in Item B9. If the BFE is from a source other than FIS
Profile, FIRM, or community, describe the source of the BFE.
Item B11. Indicate the elevation datum to which the elevations on the applicable FIRM are referenced as shown on
the map legend. The vertical datum is shown in the Map Legend and/or the Notes to Users on the FIRM.
Item B12. Indicate whether the building is located in a Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) area or Otherwise
Protected Area (OPA). (OPAs are portions of coastal barriers that are owned by Federal, State, or local governments
or by certain non-profit organizations and used primarily for natural resources protection.) Federal flood insurance is
prohibited in designated CBRS areas or OPAs for buildings or manufactured (mobile) homes built or substantially
improved after the date of the CBRS or OPA designation. For the first CBRS designations, that date is October 1,
1983. Information about CBRS areas and OPAs may be obtained on the FEMA web site at https://www.fema.gov/
national-flood-insurance-program/coastal-barrier-resources-system.
SECTION C – BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY REQUIRED)
Complete Section C if the building is located in any of Zones A1–A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, V1–V30, V (with
BFE), AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1–A30, AR/AH, or AR/AO, or if this certificate is being used to support a request for a
LOMA or LOMR-F. If the building is located in Zone AO or Zone A (without BFE), complete Section E instead. To
ensure that all required elevations are obtained, it may be necessary to enter the building (for instance, if the building
has a basement or sunken living room, split-level construction, or machinery and equipment).
Surveyors may not be able to gain access to some crawlspaces to shoot the elevation of the crawlspace floor. If
access to the crawlspace is limited or cannot be gained, follow one of these procedures.
• Use a yardstick or tape measure to measure the height from the floor of the crawlspace to the "next higher floor,"
and then subtract the crawlspace height from the elevation of the "next higher floor." If there is no access to the
NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions –Page 3 of 9
Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate (continued)
crawlspace, use the exterior grade next to the structure to measure the height of the crawlspace to the "next
higher floor."
• Contact the local floodplain administrator of the community in which the building is located. The community may have
documentation of the elevation of the crawlspace floor as part of the permit issued for the building.
• If the property owner has documentation or knows the height of the crawlspace floor to the next higher floor, try to
verify this by looking inside the crawlspace through any openings or vents.
In all 3 cases, use the Comments area of Section D to provide the elevation and a brief description of how the elevation
was obtained.
Item C1. Indicate whether the elevations to be entered in this section are based on construction drawings, a building
under construction, or finished construction. For either of the first 2 choices, a post-construction Elevation Certificate will
be required when construction is complete. If the building is under construction, include only those elevations that can be
surveyed in Items C2.a–h. Use the Comments area of Section D to provide elevations obtained from the construction
plans or drawings. Select "Finished Construction" only when all machinery and/or equipment such as furnaces, hot water
heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners, and elevators and their associated equipment have been installed and the grading
around the building is completed.
Item C2. A field survey is required for Items C2.a–h. Most control networks will assign a unique identifier for each
benchmark. For example, the National Geodetic Survey uses the Permanent Identifier (PID). For the benchmark utilized,
provide the PID or other unique identifier assigned by the maintainer of the benchmark. For GPS survey, indicate the
benchmark used for the base station, the Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) sites used for an On-line
Positioning User Service (OPUS) solution (also attach the OPUS report), or the name of the Real Time Network used.
Also provide the vertical datum for the benchmark elevation. All elevations for the certificate, including the elevations for
Items C2.a–h, must use the same datum on which the BFE is based. Show the conversion from the field survey datum
used if it differs from the datum used for the BFE entered in Item B9 and indicate the conversion software used. Show the
datum conversion, if applicable, in the Comments area of Section D.
For property experiencing ground subsidence, the most recent reference mark elevations must be used for determining
building elevations. However, when subsidence is involved, the BFE should not be adjusted. Enter elevations in Items
C2.a–h to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico).
Items C2.a–d. Enter the building elevations (excluding the attached garage) indicated by the selected building diagram
(Item A7) in Items C2.a–c. If there is an attached garage, enter the elevation for top of attached garage slab in Item C2.d.
(Because elevation for top of attached garage slab is self-explanatory, attached garages are not illustrated in the
diagrams.) If the building is located in a V zone on the FIRM, complete Item C2.c. If the flood zone cannot be determined,
enter elevations for all of Items C2.a–h. For buildings in A zones, elevations a, b, d, and e should be measured at the top
of the floor. For buildings in V zones, elevation c must be measured at the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural
member of the floor (see drawing below). For buildings elevated on a crawlspace, Diagrams 8 and 9, enter the elevation
NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions –Page 4 of 9
Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate (continued)
of the top of the crawlspace floor in Item C2.a, whether or not the crawlspace has permanent flood openings (flood
vents). If any item does not apply to the building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Item C2.e. Enter the lowest platform elevation of at least 1 of the following machinery and equipment items: elevators
and their associated equipment, furnaces, hot water heaters, heat pumps, and air conditioners in an attached garage
or enclosure or on an open utility platform that provides utility services for the building. Note that elevations for these
specific machinery and equipment items are required in order to rate the building for flood insurance. Local floodplain
management officials are required to ensure that all machinery and equipment servicing the building are protected
from flooding. Thus, local officials may require that elevation information for all machinery and equipment, including
ductwork, be documented on the Elevation Certificate. If the machinery and/or equipment is mounted to a wall, pile,
etc., enter the platform elevation of the machinery and/or equipment. Indicate machinery/equipment type and its
general location, e.g., on floor inside garage or on platform affixed to exterior wall, in the Comments area of Section D
or Section G, as appropriate. If this item does not apply to the building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Items C2.f–g. Enter the elevation of the ground, sidewalk, or patio slab immediately next to the building. For Zone
AO, use the natural grade elevation, if available. This measurement must be to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest
tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico) if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F.
Item C2.h. Enter the lowest grade elevation at the deck support or stairs. For Zone AO, use the natural grade
elevation, if available. This measurement must be to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto
Rico) if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F.
SECTION D – SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, OR ARCHITECT CERTIFICATION
Complete as indicated. This section of the Elevation Certificate may be signed by only a land surveyor, engineer, or
architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information. Place your license number, your seal (as allowed by
the State licensing board), your signature, and the date in the box in Section D. You are certifying that the information on
this certificate represents your best efforts to interpret the data available and that you understand that any false
statement may be punishable by fine or imprisonment under 18 U.S. Code, Section 1001. Use the Comments area of
Section D to provide datum, elevation, openings, or other relevant information not specified elsewhere on the certificate.
SECTION E – BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY NOT REQUIRED)
FOR ZONE AO AND ZONE A (WITHOUT BFE)
Complete Section E if the building is located in Zone AO or Zone A (without BFE). Otherwise, complete Section C instead.
Explain in the Section F Comments area if the measurement provided under Items E1–E4 is based on the "natural grade."
Items E1.a and b. Enter in Item E1.a the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the top
of the bottom floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the highest adjacent grade (HAG). Enter in
Item E1.b the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the top of the bottom floor (as
indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the lowest adjacent grade (LAG). For buildings in Zone AO, the
community's floodplain management ordinance requires the lowest floor of the building be elevated above the highest
adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number on the FIRM. Buildings in Zone A (without BFE) may qualify for a
lower insurance rate if an engineered BFE is developed at the site.
Item E2. For Building Diagrams 6–9 with permanent flood openings (see pages 8–9), enter the height to the nearest
tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the next higher floor or elevated floor (as indicated in the applicable
diagram) above or below the highest adjacent grade (HAG).
Item E3. Enter the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the highest
adjacent grade next to the building, for the top of attached garage slab. (Because elevation for top of attached garage
slab is self-explanatory, attached garages are not illustrated in the diagrams.) If this item does not apply to the building,
enter "N/A" for not applicable.
Item E4. Enter the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the highest
adjacent grade next to the building, of the platform elevation that supports the machinery and/or equipment servicing the
building. Indicate machinery/equipment type in the Comments area of Section F. If this item does not apply to the
building, enter "N/A" for not applicable.

Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate (continued)
Item E5. For those communities where this base flood depth is not available, the community will need to determine
whether the top of the bottom floor is elevated in accordance with the community's floodplain management ordinance.
SECTION F – PROPERTY OWNER (OR OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE) CERTIFICATION
Complete as indicated. This section is provided for certification of measurements taken by a property owner or property
owner's representative when responding to Sections A, B, and E. The address entered in this section must be the actual
mailing address of the property owner or property owner's representative who provided the information on the certificate.
SECTION G – COMMUNITY INFORMATION (OPTIONAL)
Complete as indicated. The community official who is authorized by law or ordinance to administer the community's
floodplain management ordinance can complete Sections A, B, C (or E), and G of this Elevation Certificate. Section C
may be filled in by the local official as provided in the instructions below for Item G1. If the authorized community official
completes Sections C, E, or G, complete the appropriate item(s) and sign this section.
Check Item G1 if Section C is completed with elevation data from other documentation that has been signed and sealed
by a licensed surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information. Indicate the
source of the elevation data and the date obtained in the Comments area of Section G. If you are both a community
official and a licensed land surveyor, engineer, or architect authorized by law to certify elevation information, and you
performed the actual survey for a building in Zones A1–A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, V1–V30, V (with BFE), AR, AR/
A, AR/A1–A30, AR/AE, AR/AH, or AR/AO, you must also complete Section D.
Check Item G2 if information is entered in Section E by the community for a building in Zone A (without a FEMA-issued
or community-issued BFE) or Zone AO.
Check Item G3 if the information in Items G4–G10 has been completed for community floodplain management purposes
to document the as-built lowest floor elevation of the building. Section C of the Elevation Certificate records the elevation
of various building components but does not determine the lowest floor of the building or whether the building, as
constructed, complies with the community's floodplain management ordinance. This must be done by the community.
Items G4–G10 provide a way to document these determinations.
Item G4. Permit Number. Enter the permit number or other identifier to key the Elevation Certificate to the permit issued
for the building.
Item G5. Date Permit Issued. Enter the date the permit was issued for the building.
Item G6. Date Certificate of Compliance/Occupancy Issued. Enter the date that the Certificate of Compliance or
Occupancy or similar written official documentation of as-built lowest floor elevation was issued by the community as
evidence that all work authorized by the floodplain development permit has been completed in accordance with the
community's floodplain management laws or ordinances.
Item G7. New Construction or Substantial Improvement. Check the applicable box. "Substantial Improvement" means
any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a building, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50
percent of the market value of the building before the start of construction of the improvement. The term includes
buildings that have incurred substantial damage, regardless of the actual repair work performed.
Item G8. As-built lowest floor elevation. Enter the elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) when the
construction of the building is completed and a final inspection has been made to confirm that the building is built in
accordance with the permit, the approved plans, and the community's floodplain management laws or ordinances.
Indicate the elevation datum used.
Item G9. BFE. Using the appropriate FIRM panel, FIS Profile, or other data source, locate the property and enter the
BFE (or base flood depth) of the building site. Indicate the elevation datum used.
Item G10. Community's design flood elevation. Enter the elevation (including freeboard above the BFE) to which the
community requires the lowest floor to be elevated. Indicate the elevation datum used.
Enter your name, title, and telephone number, and the name of the community. Sign and enter the date in the
appropriate blanks.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 19, 2019
60-day Deadline: April 9, 2019
Agenda Item
6. B. Golden Hills Business Park PUD No. 78, Amendment #1 – 5900 & 6100 Golden Hills Drive
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Senior Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
Eagle Ridge Partners is proposing to amend the PUD Permit for the Golden Hills Business Park PUD
No. 78 in order to facilitate a shift in the makeup of tenants and to construct the parking lot
modifications necessary to support the change.
Background
The Golden Hills Business Park PUD was approved in September of 1998. It was approved as an
office-warehouse campus consisting of two buildings on a 14.68-acre site located between Laurel
Avenue, Colorado Avenue, Golden Hills Drive, and the Canadian Pacific Railroad. A condition
included in the PUD permit limited the amount of office space allowed due to insufficient parking
capacity.
The building was recently purchased and the new property owner is requesting the first
amendment to the PUD. Eagle Ridge Partners is proposing to replace the warehouse and
manufacturing uses with office uses over time. As the tenant configuration changes within the
buildings, the loading docks on the north side of the buildings will no longer be necessary. At the
same time, the minimum parking requirement will increase if manufacturing space is replaced with
office space. In order to provide the required number of parking spaces, the applicant is proposing
to replace the existing loading docks with parking spaces, reconfigure the parking lot, and add
landscaping. They would also like to add a walkway connection from the south parking area to
Golden Hills Drive.
Analysis
Staff supports the change in tenant composition as long as the applicant can continue to meet the
City’s minimum parking requirements at all times. As uses flip from manufacturing to office, the
property owner must continue to ensure that there is adequate parking on site.
Initial work would be done in 2019 to improve the parking areas; additional work would be done by
2025 to complete the transition to all-office buildings. In order to help balance parking demand
between the two lots, the applicant would like to establish a cross-parking agreement since there is
excess parking available on the western lot that could be utilized by the tenants of the eastern
building.
The changes in the square footages of uses and parking spaces in the proposed PUD amendment
are outlined below:

As the amount of manufacturing and warehouse space within the PUD decreases, the number of
visits to the site by large trucks will decrease. When the loading docks are removed from Building 1
as part of the final phase of work, staff will require the middle driveway onto Laurel Avenue be
removed. This will remove a conflict point with the railroad and improve safety for the planned on-
street bicycle lanes.
A walkway easement along Laurel Avenue is needed to provide sufficient space for the City’s
planned off-street trail to cross the adjacent railroad tracks in a manner that meets ADA
requirements. The applicant has agreed to provide the easement and an exhibit and description are
attached.
The proposed layout for the modified parking areas shows two new rows of 28 uninterrupted stalls
and one row of 25 uninterrupted stalls. Zoning requirements call for a landscaped break
“approximately every 24 spaces.” Staff will require the plans be revised to show breaks added to
the two rows of 28 parking spaces.
A new walkway is proposed through a landscaped berm to connect the south parking area to the
new sidewalk being installed along Golden Hills Drive. The new walkway is shown as terminating
between two parking spaces. Staff will require the alignment be adjusted so that it terminates in an
open space striped to prohibit parking or be relocated to better provide pedestrian access to
Golden Hills Drive. It is preferred that a marked pedestrian connection be established all the way
through the parking lot in order to create a dedicated path to the building.
A number of drainage and utility easements are present within the PUD. As these cover private
utilities, they are no longer needed and staff will require them to be vacated. New maintenance
agreements must be drafted with the property owner to ensure the long term viability of these
utilities.
The criteria for classifying amendments to PUDs are outlined in the City Code and, based on the
type of modification being requested, staff has processed this proposal as a Minor PUD
Amendment, which requires review by the City Council. The Council may approve or deny a Minor
PUD Amendment by a simple majority vote without a public hearing or may refer the matter to the
Planning Commission for its input and recommendation.
Based on the above analysis of the proposal, staff recommends approval of the plans for Golden
Hills Business Park PUD No. 78, Amendment #1, subject to the following conditions:
1. As tenants in the building change, the minimum parking requirements must always be in
compliance with the City Code.
2. A cross-parking agreement shall be recorded between the two properties to ensure the City’s
minimum parking requirements are met.
3. A minimum of one landscaped break shall be added to each of the two new rows of 28
parking spaces at Golden Hills II in conformance with the City’s parking lot requirements.
4. The applicant shall work with staff to modify or relocate the new sidewalk connecting the
south parking area with the sidewalk along Golden Hill Drive.
5. A public walkway easement shall be recorded along Laurel Avenue to provide sufficient space
for the planned off-street trail to cross the railroad tracks while meeting ADA requirements.
6. All drainage and utility easements over private utilities within the PUD shall be vacated and
new agreements shall be drafted to provide for maintenance of the utilities.
7. Prior to the removal of the loading docks from the north side of the building at 5900 Golden
Hills Drive, the property owner shall remove the middle driveway onto Laurel Avenue and
regrade and vegetate the area to the satisfaction of City staff.

Minor PUD Amendment Application – PUD No. 78
5900 & 6100 Golden Hills Drive, Golden Valley
Parcel Basics
The existing site is 639,668 SF (14.68 acres) and is currently developed with two commercial buildings – Golden
Hills I (5900 Golden Hills Drive) is 80,289 SF and Golden Hills II (6100 Golden Hills Drive) is 92,379 SF. Both
buildings are office-warehouse format with 621 existing on-site parking stalls. The property is bound by Golden
Hills Drive to the south, Colorado Ave S to the west, Laurel Ave to the north, and The Xenia apartment
development to the east.
Project Narrative & Outline
Eagle Ridge Partners, as Agent for AE Golden Hills Owner 5900 LLC and AE Golden Hills Owner 6100 LLC is
submitting the attached minor PUD amendment application to reconfigure the existing parking lots to better
accommodate the existing and future tenant population at the buildings, remove the office SF limitation per PUD
No. 78 at 5900 Golden Hills Drive, and record a cross-parking easement agreement.
The proposed reconfiguring of the parking lot will provide better access to all tenants in the buildings from Golden
Hills Drive and Laurel Avenue. A sidewalk will also be added connecting the buildings to the new sidewalk that is
planned for Golden Hills Drive. This will encourage tenants of the buildings to utilize the public walkway as well as
walk to restaurants and shopping in the surrounding area.
The current plan is also designed to add trees and bushes that not currently existing on the site. This will increase the
overall aesthetic of the parking lot and buildings.
Variance Requests
The proposed plans includes three variance requests:
1. Parking Setback
a. The required parking setback to principal structure is 10,’ we are requesting a 0’ setback on the
north side of the buildings. This is the dock area of the buildings and the parking stalls that require
the variance are being proposed where dock doors are no longer being used by office tenants.
2. Internal Landscaping
a. The required internal landscaping is 4% of the interior parking lot. We are requesting a 2.8%
variance. The existing internal landscaping is 3.1% so there is a slight decrease in internal
landscaping from existing conditions.
3. Landscape Break
a. The required landscape break is approximately every 24 parking stalls. We are requesting a
variance for up to 31 parking stalls. The existing site currently has a row of 31 stalls and two rows
of 28 stalls. We are requesting a variance for these existing stalls as well as two additional rows of
28 stalls at Golden Hills II and a row of 25 stalls at Golden Hills I (future construction).
This variance request is in-line with the Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan for commercial office and industrial
uses. The buildings continue to be well -occupied and significant employment area for Golden Valley companies.
275 Market Street, Suite 184 ∙ Minneapolis, MN 5540 5 | Phone: 612.843.2236
The above requested variances will allow the property to continue and further become an employment and tax
generator for the City.
This variance will not affect the light and air to adjacent properties, increase traffic congestion or increase the danger
of fire, endanger the public safety, or diminish property values within the neighborhood.
Expected Development Schedule
The proposed site plan would be constructed in the summer of 2019. The future parking at Golden Hills I, would not
be constructed until all tenants in the building are 100% office and no longer require dock access. We do not
anticipate this to be any earlier than 2025.

- Success Computer
o Success Computer employs a significant number of outside sales representatives that often work
remotely and therefore decrease the parking demand.
- Integra Telecom
o Office serves as Integra’s Midwest operations office. Integra is currently only occupying around
40% of their space, including warehouse and therefore minimally impacting parking at the
property.
Combined Parking Analysis – Golden Hills I & II
Existing on-site parking stalls: 621 stalls
Parking stalls required per leases (or 1/250 SF office; 1/500 SF office): 593 stalls
PUD Amendment Request
PUD No 78, which governs the use of Golden Hills I and II, currently limits the amount of office SF at 5900 Golden
Hills Drive to 57,000 SF. We are requesting that the limitation of office SF within the building be removed.
We are not requesting to change the number of parking stalls that the PUD requires for office and warehouse uses.
The PUD currently requires 1 stall/500 SF of warehouse and 1 stall/250 SF of office. Our intent is that the property
owner is required to comply with these requirements, which will ultimately determine the number of parking stalls
needed and required at the properties.
In addition, since there is substantially more parking available at 6100 Golden Hills Drive, we are requesting a
cross-parking easement agreement be recorded between the two properties.
Stormwater Management & Erosion Control
The sites currently have a combined 73% of impervious coverage and our proposed plans do not change this
amount. Due to this, the sites do not meet the Bassett Creek Watershed District’s water quality treatment threshold
for new/reconstructed impervious area. As a result, no changes are needed to the stormwater management system.
The total disturbed impervious will be 13,781 SF (3% of total impervious), which exceeds the Bassett Creek
Watershed District’s disturbed area threshold and will require erosion control plan review by the Watershed. We
intend to submit for review after final plans have been approved by the City of Golden Valley.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 19, 2019
Agenda Item
6. C. First Consideration of Modifications to Right of Way Management Ordinance to address
Wireless Facility Aesthetics
Prepared By
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Summary
The state of Minnesota and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently promulgated
rules relating to the City’s ability to regulate the placement of small wireless facilities in the City’s
right of way. Specifically, the state and the FCC rules require the City to allow wireless providers
to place infrastructure, such as wireless antennae and other equipment, in its right of way. The
rules limit the City’s ability to regulate the placement of this wireless equipment, which typically
must be mounted above the ground on poles.
Based on information provided by industry experts, the City anticipates a sharp increase in the
number of wireless facilities (and, by extension, poles on which to mount these facilities) in the
near future. The City wishes to accommodate the technological advances these new wireless
facilities will support, such as 5G technology, for the benefit of its residents and businesses. The
City also wishes to minimize the potentially negative impacts of this technology within its right-
of-way and public spaces. Some of the potential negative impacts include conflicts with existing
public utilities, life-safety concerns related to transportation and aesthetic impacts, such as
overcrowding of poles and unsightly or out-of-character deployments.
Staff recommends adoption of a new section in the Right of Way Management Chapter of the
City Code (Chapter 24, Article II) titled Wireless Aesthetic Standards. The proposed Section sets
forth the minimum aesthetic and design standards that telecommunications providers must meet
to place wireless facilities in the City’s right of way. The standards include, among other things,
minimum distance requirements between poles, a requirement to collocate more than one
facility per support structure where feasible, and general aesthetic design standards. The design
standards require that all wireless facilities be concealed inside the support structure or below
ground.
In addition, staff recommends some minor modifications to Sections 24-22 (Definitions), 24-28
(Permit Required), 24-30 (Issuance of Permits, Conditions), and 24-43 (Location and Relocation of
Equipment in Facilities) to conform to the proposed new Section.
Both the new and revised Sections are attached for reference, along with a redline showing the
amendments to the existing Sections.

(Code 1988, § 7.10)
Sec. 24-43. - Location and Relocation of Equipment or Facilities.
(a)Undergrounding. Unless otherwise stated in this Code, or agreed in a franchise or other agreement
between the applicable right-of-way user and the City, facilities in the right-of-way must be located or
relocated and maintained underground in accordance with this article.
(b)Corridors.
(1)The City may assign specific areas within the right-of-way, or any particular segment thereof as
may be necessary, for each type of facilities or equipment that is or, pursuant to current
technology, the City expects will someday be located within the right-of-way. All excavation,
obstruction, or other permits issued by the City involving the installation or replacement of
equipment shall designate the proper corridor for the equipment at issue.
(2)Any registrant who has facilities in the right-of-way in a position at variance with the corridors
established by the City shall, no later than at the time of the next reconstruction or excavation of
the area where its facilities are located, move those facilities to their assigned position within the
right-of-way, unless this requirement is waived by the City for good cause shown, upon
consideration of such factors as the remaining economic life of the facilities, public safety,
customer service needs and hardship to the registrant.
(c)Nuisance. One year after the passage of the ordinance from which this article is derived, any
facilities found in a right-of-way that have not been registered shall be deemed to be a nuisance. The
City may exercise any remedies or rights it has at law or in equity, including, but not limited to,
abating the nuisance or taking possession of the equipment and restoring the right-of-way to a
useable condition.
(d)Limitation of Space. To protect health and safety and welfare of the public or when necessary to
protect the right-of-way and its current use, the City Manager or his/her designee shall have the
power to prohibit or limit the placement of new or additional facilities within the right-of-way. In
making such decisions, the City shall strive to the extent possible to accommodate all existing and
potential users of the right-of-way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations of the public
interest, the public's needs for the particular utility service, the condition of the right-of-way, the time
of year with respect to essential utilities, the protection of existing facilities in the right-of-way, and
future City plans for public improvements and development projects which have been determined to
be in the public interest.
(Code 1988, § 7.22)
Section 24-52- Wireless Aesthetic Standards
a) Findings. The City of Golden Valley desires the most advanced and highest quality wireless
services available. The City also wishes to minimize the negative impacts associated with
wireless facility deployments including small wireless facilities. Such negative impacts may
include interference with right-of-way sight lines, aesthetic impacts that are inconsistent with
the surrounding area, fall zone and clear zone risks, navigation obstacles, interference with
future transportation improvement plans, interference with the installation or maintenance
of public utilities, and increased visual or noise pollution.
The following aesthetic standards and requirements are intended to maintain the City’s
aesthetic environment while also allowing for the availability of wireless services, including
broadband and “5G” services, using small wireless facilities. These standards are intended
to establish clear and consistent aesthetic standards for wireless facility placements in the
City right-of-way and to establish a streamlined review and approval process. In addition,
these standards seek to minimize unnecessary placement of new wireless support structures
in the City’s right-of-way by encouraging co-location of wireless facilities with other
wireless facilities and utilities.
b) Permit Required. To address the foregoing impacts, any person desiring to locate or collocate
wireless facilities or place new wireless support structures in the City’s right-of-way must first
obtain a right-of-way permit pursuant to this Code.
c) Collocation Agreement Required. Any person seeking to collocate wireless facilities on a
wireless support structure owned or controlled by the City must first enter a standard
collocation agreement. The standard collocation agreement may require payment of the
following:
a. Up to $150.00 per year for rent to collocate on the City structure;
b. $25.00 per year for maintenance associated with the collocation; and
c. A monthly fee for electrical service as follows:
i. $73.00 per radio node less than or equal to 100 maximum watts
ii. $182.00 per radio node over 100 maximum watts; or
iii. The actual costs of electricity, if the actual cost exceed the foregoing.
The standard collocation agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the required
right-of-way permit, provided, however, that the applicant shall not be additionally required
to obtain a license or franchise in order to collocate. Issuance of a right-of-way permit does
not supersede, alter or affect any then-existing agreement between the City and applicant.
d) Applicability of Aesthetic Standards. These standards apply to all right-of-way permit
applications for placement or collocation of wireless facilities on City-owned and non-City-
owned wireless support structures or utility poles, and the placement or replacement of
wireless support structures in the public right-of-way. Compliance with these standards is a
requirement for, and condition of, issuance of a right-of-way permit for a wireless facility.
Any installation that does not conform to these standards will be in violation of the associated
permit and the City’s right-of-way ordinance.
e) Additional Requirements. In addition to the following standards, the placement of new
support structures for wireless facilities shall be subject to any conditions specified in the
right-of-way permit. Applications to install wireless facilities or place new support structures
in districts zoned for residential uses, within areas or corridors designated as special street
lighting areas, within a historic district established by federal or state law or City ordinance,
shall further be subject to any conditions contained in Section 113-154 of this Code and,
when applicable, any required conditional use permit authorizing such installation.
f) Aesthetic Design Standards. The City desires to promote aesthetically acceptable and area
conforming wireless facilities using the smallest and least intrusive means available to
provide wireless services to the community. All wireless facilities and wireless support
structures in the public right-of-way must comply with all applicable provisions in this
section.
a. Wireless Support Structures: All City or privately owned wireless support
structures placed within the City shall be of a fully enclosed design such that the
maximum amount of facilities, including any wiring, are concealed inside the
structure or below ground. The City standard wireless support structure shall be the
Valmont Pole Drawing Number TK01260 or an approved equal.
All wireless support structures, whether existing, new or replacement wireless
support structures, must:
i. be constructed of aluminum or steel;
ii. be the same color as neighboring, similar support structures and of the same
design characteristics;
iii. where constructed as a light pole, luminaire(s) and luminaire arm(s) must
match adjacent city lighting standard and must contain an LED fixture in
accordance with City specifications; and
iv. be the City standard support structure, or an alternative support structure that
is consistent with the aesthetics of the City standard support structure.
Alternatives to the City Standard structure may be approved on a case by
case basis by the City Manager or his/her designee.
b. Antennas: Antennas must be top-mounted and concealed within a radome (a
structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects an antenna and is constructed of
material that minimally attenuates the signal transmitted/received by such antenna)
or otherwise concealed to the extent feasible. Cable connections, antenna mounts
and other hardware must also be concealed. The radome or other concealment must
be non-reflective and painted or otherwise colored to match the wireless support
structure.
c. Collocation: Collocations between wireless service providers and with other utilities
on the same support structure is required wherever feasible. If an applicant proposes
to not collocate in areas where collocation options are or appear to be available, the
applicant must document that collocation is infeasible.
d. Concealment: Concealment elements must be incorporated into the proposed design
of the small wireless facility installation, and must include approved camouflaging
or shrouding techniques.
e. Ground-Mounted Equipment: Ground-mounted equipment must be installed below
grade or, if technically necessary, concealed in a ground-mounted cabinet. In addition
to any applicable requirements in this Code, ground mounted cabinets must:
i. be installed flush to the ground;
ii. be the same color as neighboring, similar support cabinets or other ground-
mounted structures;
iii. not interfere in any way with the flow of pedestrian, bicycle or vehicular
traffic when adjoining sidewalks, trails, or other similar passageways,
iv. conform to the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) including with
respect to appropriate sidewalk spacing; and
v. not create a safety hazard.
f. Lights: Unless otherwise required for compliance with FAA or FCC regulations,
wireless facilities shall not include any lights or lighting. This subsection does not
prohibit installations on streetlights or the installation of luminaires or additional
street lighting on new support structures if and where required by the City. All
wireless support structures must be capable of accommodating street lighting at 12,
18 or 30 feet above the ground to facilitate future street lighting as may be determined
by the City.
g) Location Criteria for New or Replacement Wireless Support Structures
a. New Support Structures: Any new wireless support structures shall be placed:
i. a minimum of two lot lines, or approximately 200 feet, whichever is greater,
from any existing wireless support structure or utility pole on the same side of
the street or right-of-way, and one lot line or approximately 100 feet,
whichever is greater when on the opposite sides of the street or right-of-way.
ii. at a distance which is the same as the prevailing separation distance among
existing wireless support structures and poles in the surrounding vicinity as
agreed upon by the applicant and City, or determined by the City where
agreement cannot be reached;
iii. as functional streetlights as the City may require, in its reasonable discretion;
iv. in alignment with existing trees, wireless support structures, utility poles, and
streetlights;

historic on a federal, state, or local level;
ix. so as not to significantly create a new obstruction to property sight lines;
x. at shared property lines if feasible;
xi. not within 50 feet of the apron of a fire station or other emergency service
responder facility.
b. Replacement of City-Owned Support Structures: Any replaced wireless support
structures shall remain in their existing location unless otherwise permitted by the
City. Replacement pole height shall not exceed 50 feet, or the height of the existing
utility pole or wireless support structure, whichever is greater.
c. Obstructions: Any new wireless support structure or other facilities associated with a
new or existing wireless support structure must not obstruct access to:
i. any existing above-ground or underground right-of-way user facilities, or
public facilities;
ii. any public infrastructure for traffic control, streetlight or public transportation
purposes, including without limitation any curb control sign, parking meter,
vehicular traffic sign or signal, pedestrian traffic sign or signal, barricade
reflectors;
iii. any public transportation vehicles, shelters, street furniture or other
improvements at any public transportation stop (including, without
limitation, bus stops, streetcar stops, and bike share stations);
iv. fire hydrants;
v. any doors, gates, sidewalk doors, passage doors, stoops or other ingress and

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
March 19, 2019
Agenda Item
6. D. Second Consideration of Therapeutic Massage Licensing, Permitting and Regulation
Ordinance
Prepared By
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Kris Luedke, City Clerk
Summary
The City’s massage licensing and regulation ordinance has not been updated in several decades.
(City Code § 16-230 et. seq.) Staff recommends updating this section of the code because (1) it
contains outdated language and overlaps with other sections of the code; (2) the organization of
the ordinance and application requirements are confusing; and (3) there are legitimate uses for
massage that the Council may wish to exempt from licensing requirements, such as services
provided in nursing homes or to in-home hospice care patients.
The first consideration was presented at the March 5, 2019, City Council meeting. At that meeting
the Council asked staff to review the restrictions involving provision of massage services to minors,
the length of the term of temporary permits and the fees charged for temporary permits. Staff
researched these matters further and discussed the Council’s concerns with members of the
public, including business owners who would be impacted by these changes. After careful
consideration, Staff recommends some minor changes to the sections of the ordinance dealing
with these issues. Those changes are shown in the attached redline. Staff continues to recommend
the ordinance require minors to be accompanied by parents or guardians, but modified the
proposed ordinance to allow minors to receive non-massage services, such as facials, without their
parent or guardian. With respect to temporary massage permits, Staff recommends a term of 6
months (rather than the 3 months originally proposed) and a fee of $40 for temporary permits to
cover the City’s cost in reviewing and issuing those permits. Staff recommends a streamlined
renewal process for temporary permits that is free of charge and only requires the massage
therapist or hospice provider to give notice that the treatment will continue.
If the Council adopts the ordinance on second consideration, the new ordinance would be effective
after publication on March, 28, 2019. Current license holders would not be affected until the next
licensing cycle. Staff made minor changes to the proposed ordinance based on the Council’s
comments at the first reading. The materials include a redline showing these changes.
Staff recommends the Council approve the attached summary publication of the ordinance. To
approve summary publication the council must determine that publication of the title and a
summary of the ordinance would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the
ordinance.

ARTICLE VIII. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE LICENSING, PERMITTING &
REGULATION
Sec. 16-230. - Purpose.
The purpose of this section of the City Code is to prohibit massage businesses and services
to the public except those licensed as therapeutic massage enterprises or permitted massage
therapists or otherwise exempted from licensing and permitting requirements pursuant to this
section. The licensing regulations prescribed herein are necessary in order to protect
businesses that are operating legitimate enterprises, to prevent criminal activity and to
protect the health and welfare of the community. The purpose of this section is not to impose
restrictions or limitations on the freedom of protected speech or expression.
Sec. 16-231. - Findings of the City Council.
The City Council makes the following findings regarding the need to license therapeutic
massage enterprises and permit therapists and to prohibit all other types of massage
businesses and services to the public:
Persons who have bona fide and standardized training in therapeutic massage,a)
health, and hygiene can provide a legitimate and necessary service to the general
public.
Health and sanitation regulations governing therapeutic massage enterprises andb)
therapists can minimize the risk of the spread of communicable diseases and can
promote overall health and sanitation.
License and permit qualifications for the restrictions on therapeutic massagec)
enterprises and therapists can minimize the risk of the spread of communicable
diseases and can promote overall health and sanitation.
Massage services provided by persons with no specialized and standardizedd)
training in massage can endanger citizens by facilitating the spread of
communicable diseases, by exposing citizens to unhealthy and unsanitary
conditions, and by increasing the risk of personal injury.
Massage businesses which employ persons with no specialized and standardizede)
training can tax City law enforcement services because such businesses are more
likely to be used as fronts for prostitution and other criminal activity than
operations established by persons with standardized training.
The training of professional massage therapists at accredited institutions is anf)
important means of ensuring the fullest measure of protecting the public health,
safety, and welfare.

Repealing in its Entirety Article VIII. Massage Parlors, Sauna, and Other
Adult-Oriented Services and Adding a New Article VIII. Therapeutic Massage Licensing,
Permitting and Regulations
The City Council of the City of Golden Valley ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code, Article VIII entitled “Massage Parlors, Sauna, and Other
Adult-Oriented Services” is hereby repealed in its entirety.
Section 2. City Code, Article VIII is hereby amended by adding a new Article VIII.
Therapeutic Massage Licensing, Permitting and Regulations reading as follows:
ARTICLE VIII. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE LICENSING, PERMITTING &
REGULATION
Sec. 16-230. - Purpose.
The purpose of this section of the City Code is to prohibit massage businesses and
services to the public except those licensed as therapeutic massage enterprises or
permitted massage therapists or otherwise exempted from licensing and permitting
requirements pursuant to this section. The licensing regulations prescribed herein are
necessary in order to protect businesses that are operating legitimate enterprises, to
prevent criminal activity and to protect the health and welfare of the community. The
purpose of this section is not to impose restrictions or limitations on the freedom of
protected speech or expression.
Sec. 16-231. - Findings of the City Council.
The City Council makes the following findings regarding the need to license therapeutic
massage enterprises and permit therapists and to prohibit all other types of massage
businesses and services to the public:
a) Persons who have bona fide and standardized training in therapeutic massage,
health, and hygiene can provide a legitimate and necessary service to the general
public.
b) Health and sanitation regulations governing therapeutic massage enterprises and
therapists can minimize the risk of the spread of communicable diseases and can
promote overall health and sanitation.
c) License and permit qualifications for the restrictions on therapeutic massage
enterprises and therapists can minimize the risk of the spread of communicable
diseases and can promote overall health and sanitation.
d) Massage services provided by persons with no specialized and standardized
training in massage can endanger citizens by facilitating the spread of
communicable diseases, by exposing citizens to unhealthy and unsanitary
conditions, and by increasing the risk of personal injury.
e) Massage businesses which employ persons with no specialized and standardized
Ordinance No. 656 -2- March 19, 2019
training can tax City law enforcement services because such businesses are more
likely to be used as fronts for prostitution and other criminal activity than
operations established by persons with standardized training.
f) The training of professional massage therapists at accredited institutions is an
important means of ensuring the fullest measure of protecting the public health,
safety, and welfare.

6. G. Approval of Elected Official Out-of-State Travel
Prepared By
Timothy Cruikshank, City Manager
Summary
In 2005, the Minnesota Legislature adopted Minnesota Statute 471.661, requiring local units of
government to adopt a policy that would control travel of elected officials outside of the state of
Minnesota. The City approved Resolution 05-68 establishing the Elected Official Out-of-State
Travel Policy at the November 15, 2005, City Council meeting. Under this policy, the City
recognizes that the City receives value from elected officials traveling out of state for workshops,
conference, events and other assignments. The policy sets forth the conditions under which the
out-of-state travel will be reimbursed by the City.
The City’s Elected Official Out-Of-State Travel Policy requires Council approval, in advance, of the
outside the state of Minnesota for elected officials. Under this travel policy, it is proposed Council
support Mayor Harris’s participation in the BLRT lobbying trip to Washington D.C.
$5,000 is budgeted annually in the Council’s budget for the out-of-state travel of elected officials.

ELECTED OFFICIAL OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL POLICY
Purpose:
The City of Golden Valley recognizes that its elected official may at times receive value
from traveling out of the state for workshops, conferences, events and other assignments.
This policy sets forth the conditions under which out-of-state travel will be reimbursed by
the City.
General Guidelines:
1.The event, workshop, conference or assignment must be approved in advance by
the City Council at an open meeting and must include an estimate of the cost of the
-travel. In evaluating the out-of-state travel request, the Council will consider the
following:
•Whether the elected official will be receiving training on issues relevant to the
City or to his or her role as the Mayor or as a Council Member;
•Whether the elected official will be meeting and networking with other elected
officials from around the country to exchange ideas on topics of relevance to
the City or on the official roles of local elected officials.
•Whether the elected official will be viewing a city facility or function that is
similar in nature to one that is currently operating at, or under consideration
by the City where the purpose for the trip is to study the facility or function to
bring back ideas for the consideration of the full Council.
•Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the Council to
visit another city for the purpose of establishing a goodwill relationship such
as a "sister-city" relationship.
•Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the Council to
testify on behalf of the City at the United States Congress or to otherwise
meet with federal officials on behalf of the City.
