Adjournment November 12, 2019 – 7 pm Council Chambers Golden Valley City Hall 7800 Golden Valley Road t 1 Date: November 12, 2019 To: Golden Valley Planning Commission From: Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager Subject: Proposed Adjustments to Narrow Lot Regulations Summary The City Council has directed the Planning Commission to engage in discussion around the zoning regulations for narrow lots (generally those under 65 feet in width and specifically for those 50 feet or less in width) and to propose any recommended changes to help mitigate impacts on surrounding properties. At this meeting, staff has invited three local realtors to provide information to the Planning Commission about the single-family housing market in Golden Valley – especially around small and/or narrow lots. In addition, staff will be presenting an overview of the City’s tree and landscape requirements and stormwater management process. Future meetings will engage architects and builders to help better understand the potential consequences of adjustments to regulations. Realtor Panel In preparation for this meeting, staff invited three local realtors to participate in a panel discussion about small/narrow lots. One realtor could not attend but provided some written information. Two other realtors will be at the meeting to discuss the local single -family housing market and to answer questions from Commissioners. Staff asked the realtors to consider the following questions: What are the general market conditions for smaller/narrow lot homes in the Twin Cities suburbs? Are any demographic segments more or less likely to be intereste d in smaller/narrow lot homes? Are smaller/narrow lots similar to other homes in terms of the length of homeowner tenure, or do people remain in these homes for more or less time? How has the value of smaller/narrow lot homes changed in the past 10 years? 2 Where do you see the value of these lots in the next 10 years? How do changes in the overall housing market impact sales of smaller/narrow lots? Can smaller/narrow lot development impact the property values of surrounding larger lot homes? How are people modifying smaller/narrow lot homes to fit current lifestyles? Which home types or styles on smaller/narrow lots do better than others in terms of valuation or rate of return? Additional Information on Combined Lots Since the last Planning Commission meeting in October, staff has been able to gather more information about the combined lots that currently exist across the city. Of the 318 lots that consist of exactly two platted lots, the majority of them are made up of lots between 41 feet and 50 feet wide. These are clustered north of the Golden Valley Country Club as well as two blocks between Winnetka Ave and Rhode Island Ave just north of I-394 (see attached map). Most narrow lot created if divided Number 66’ or wider 40 55’ to 65’ 58 41’ to 50’ 149 40’ or narrower 71 Of the 429 lots that consist of one-and-a-half or some other similar arrangement, the majority are also made up of lots between 41 feet and 50 feet wide. Many of these are also located north of the Golden Valley Country Club or in the vicinity of Sochacki Park and Theodore Wirth Parkway see attached map). Most narrow lot created if divided Number 66’ or wider 61 55’ to 65’ 136 41’ to 50’ 204 40’ or narrower 28 Tree and Landscape Requirements While not regulated through the Zoning Code, residents have expressed concerns about the trees that are removed when new homes are built on narrow lots. The City requires a Tree and Landscape Permit whenever a home is demolished, a new home is constructed or reconstructed, or the footprint of an existing home is expanded by 100% or more. As part of the permit application, a plan must be submitted for review that includes a current survey of the property that identifies all existing significant and legacy trees, shows which trees are proposed to be removed, proposes tree protection measures, and proposes tree mitigation (if 3 required). There is a two year “look back” period to track tree removal prior to a Tree and Landscape Permit being issued. For single-phase development, where work is being conducted on a single lot, up to 15 percent of the existing significant and legacy trees can be removed before mitigation is required. For two - phase development, which typically involves more than one lot and a period of common grading and site work prior to construction, up to 20 percent of the existing significant and legacy trees can be removed during the first phase and up to 15 percent in the second phase. Tree mitigation (replacement) is dependent on the size of trees removed (diameter and/or height, depending on species of tree). The City collects a deposit to ensure replacement trees survive the first growing season. For single-family residential lots, minimum landscape requirements are three trees (with at least one in the front yard) and five shrubs or perennials. Information from Peer Cities Staff gathered information from St. Louis Park, Edina, and Minnetonka about tree removal and replacement regulations for comparison to Golden Valley’s regulations. Generally, St. Louis Park had the least restrictive regulations while Minnetonka had the most restrictive. All three cities required a tree plan to be submitted and approved for new developments. St. Louis Park requires tree mitigation for the removal of any significant tree. Edina requires tree mitigation in most cases, but does exclude some areas in which trees can be removed without mitigation. Minnetonka allows trees to be removed without mitigation within a defined removal area, but requires tree mitigation otherwise. See the attached table for more information. Stormwater Management Another area of concern from neighbors is the way in which stormwater is managed with new construction. The addition of a new, and potentially larger, home on a small lot can create challenges for capturing and/or directing water in ways that do not impact adjacent properties. For any new construction, a Stormwater Management Permit is required from the City. This is intended to control construction site erosion and post -construction stormwater runoff. In reviewing and approving the stormwater management plans (typically proposed grading plans), Engineering staff attempt to balance a number of competing issues, including: surface drainage to a storm sewer or other collection point, building code requirements around slope at the building foundation, the existing street and curb cut elevations, the existing sanitary sewer main elevations, driveway grade, yard drainage, Base Flood Elevations or calculated high water levels, and soil conditions. State standards around runoff control state that runoff of water from residential properties “shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.” Small and/or narrow lots present additional challenges in this area, as there are fewer pervious surfaces to allow water to infiltrate as well as 4 reduced setbacks in which to create swales to direct water. In response these conditions, staff has begun asking for gutter and downspout plans to help ensure the proper discharge of water. At the conclusion of the construction process, once final grading and stabilization of the site has occurred, the City holds securities for a one year period in order to ensure that all stormwater management tactics remain effective. Once the one year period has passed, the securities are returned and the permit is closed. Issues that arise past that point must be handled between property owners. Additional Areas of Inquiry Future meetings will address site design, impervious limits, and solar access and shading. Next Steps As part of the ongoing investigation of narrow lots, Commissioners should keep in mind the following questions: 1. What are the key takeaways from the information discussed with local realtors? 2. What are the potential impacts of future tax parcel divisions, given the distribution of lot widths within existing combined lots? 3. Are there concerns regarding the current tree and landscape regulations as they apply to new home construction? Are there potential changes that should be considered? 4. What other strategies for addressing stormwater issues might be considered? These questions, and others, will continue to be fleshed out as additional information about home design and construction considerations are addressed in upcoming meetings. Attachments Housing Marking Information from Nancy Nelson (1 page) Maps of Combined Lots by Lot Sizes (2 pages) Table of Tree Removal Regulations (1 page) Nancy Nelson I am a business major and prior to Real Estate was a senior account executive at AT&T. I have been a realtor for over 20 years and work with buyers and sellers to list and help buyers purchase homes. I work in all price ranges from first-time buyers to one million+ buyers and sellers, single-family homes as well as condos and townhomes. I have lived in Golden Valley (listing and selling as well) for over 30 years. My buyers and sellers are in many different areas but predominantly the Western Suburbs and the Lakes area. I also have done business in St. Paul. At this point, I only work with past clients and referrals. I am sure you are aware that the City of Minneapolis standard width is about 40 feet. It is unbelievable what they have been tearing down and building in the desirable areas such as Linden Hills, Fulton (50th and France area), etc. The same is true in Edina on narrow lots, and along busy streets. Those two cities did not have as stringent of zoning as Golden Valley. Thus, very large homes are taking up most of the lot and overpowering their neighbors. Subsequently they have changed their requirements but too late for some neighbors. I believe a builder could construct a home that the market would respond to, such as open living concept and 3+ Bedrooms. Detached garages would not be desirable to a home buyer in the price range that these homes would cost. Depending on the neighborhood where these lots exist, the price point to purchase would determine what a builder would want to sell the home for and consequently how elaborate of a home. With the aging of baby boomers, many are looking for one level living and low maintenance, which is hard to find. Also, families with children would be attracted to a home with the right amenities. I think the market would respond to narrow lots with the right price point and amenities. As far as impact on the neighborhood, generally a new build – or modification on the existing home – would improve property values for surrounding homes.

For individual single-family and two-family dwellings, a detailed landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Zoning Administrator for all new developments, additions or modifications to existing developments or when changes are made to existing landscape plans. Needed for demolition permits; subdivision applications; building permit applications for principal and accessory structures including a garage, deck or a pool; and additions to principal and accessory structures. A tree preservation plan is required as part of an application for a preliminary plat, lot division, conditional use permit, variance, expansion permit, grading permit, site and building plan review, wetland/floodplain alteration permit, or building permit. A tree preservation plan is not required for a grading permit or building permit on an R-1 zoned property containing a single- family home when tree mitigation is not required. Minimum Landscaping Requirements None for individual single-family residential lots. Single- family and two-family dwellings constructed after May 7, 2007 shall plant one (1) tree per lot in the boulevard. Protected trees may not be removed without mitigation except in the following areas: a. within a ten-foot radius of, the building pad, deck or patio of a new or remodeled building. b. within a five-foot radius of driveways and parking areas. c.within ten-foot radius of public infrastructure improvements. During construction, subdivision, or redevelopment, any tree removed outside the allowable removal area must be mitigated. Mitigation?Approval of a permit for the removal of any significant tree or for land alteration which results in tree destruction shall be subject to and conditioned upon the owner or developer replacing the loss or reasonably anticipated loss of all live significant trees. Replacement plan shall be reviewed by the forester to determine if a sufficient number of replacements are being brought in, as well as for location, size, and similar species. Yes. When a protected tree is removed it must be replaced subject to conditions. Replacement trees will be reviewed by the forester for species, size, and appropriate location. Yes. When tree mitigation is required, the applicant must submit a tree mitigation plan for staff review and approval.
