identified in the City that could be split, the side yard setback restrictions, ways to maintain
neighborhood character as new homes are built, and possible next steps. City Manager Cruikshank
answered questions from Council.
The Council consensus was to move forward cautiously by having staff work with the Planning
Commission to study lots less than 50 feet wide, review possible height restrictions, examine ways
to bring side yard setbacks into conformance with the City’s Building and Fire Codes, and review
the building envelopes for width consistency. The Council asked staff to bring the study back for
their review and include what the City benefits would be if amendments are made.

The meeting was called to order at 7 pm by Chair Blum.

Commissioners present: Rich Baker, Ron Blum, Adam Brookins, Andy Johnson, Ryan Sadeghi
Commissioners absent: Lauren Pockl, Chuck Segelbaum
Staff present: Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman, Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman
Council Liaison present: None
Approval of Agenda
MOTION made by Johnson, seconded by Baker to approve the agenda of May 29, 2019, as submitted
and the motion carried unanimously.
Approval of Minutes
May 13, 2019, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Johnson referred to the subject of open spaces during the Mixed Use Zoning District discussion. He said
the minutes didn’t seem to reflect the discussion as it related to public versus private open spaces.
Blum asked if the default mentioned by staff is that the open space referred to in the Mixed Use Zoning
Districts were private, not public. Zimmerman said yes and referred to page three of the minutes where
the discussion was about how it would be difficult to require open space to be dedicated for public use.
MOTION made by Baker, seconded by Johnson to approve the May 13, 2019, minutes as submitted and
the motion carried unanimously.
1. Public Hearing
Applicant: Andy Snope
Address: 1030 Angelo Drive
Purpose: A Conditional Use Permit to allow for a boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District
Zimmerman referred to a location map and explained the applicant’s request to construct a boathouse
within the Shoreland Overlay district. He stated that boathouses are the only structures allowed within
the Shoreland Overlay district and by conditional use only. He referred to aerial photos of the property
and noted that there is currently an 8’ x 8’ shed on the property, also in the Shoreland Overlay district
that would be removed as part of this proposal.

Zimmerman stated that the applicant did an extensive rear yard landscaping project last year which
included plans for a boathouse and that the applicant worked closely with the City to address Shoreland
Overlay, Floodplain, and many other regulations.
Zimmerman referred to the language in the Shoreland Overlay District code and stated that the purpose
of the District is “to regulate the development of the shorelands of public waters.” The language also
states that boathouses shall be allowed if “certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility of the conditional use with other permitted uses of the district,” and that the DNR
Commissioner must be notified.
Zimmerman referred to a landscaping plan and discussed the location of the floodplain and the
Shoreland Overlay district. He showed where the boathouse is proposed to be built and stated that it
would be 12’ x 14’ in size, would be located further away from the lakeshore, and would be used to store
kayaks and other boating equipment. He added that the proposed boathouse would meet the setback
requirements which are 75 ft. from the ordinary high water mark of Sweeney Lake, and 5 ft. from the
side yard property line. The proposed boathouse would also meet the engineering requirement that the
lowest floor opening be at least 2 ft. above the floodplain elevation (831.7’)
Zimmerman referred to the evaluation factors used when considering conditional use permits and said
that the vast majority of them aren’t applicable for a boathouse. He said staff is recommending approval
of the Conditional Use Permit with two conditions. The first is that the boathouse is to be used solely for
the storage of boats and boating equipment and the second is that the boathouse construction must
include 2’ of freeboard above the base floor elevation of 831.7’.
Baker asked if there is a DNR permit required, or just notification. He also asked if the notice went to the
DNR Commissioner or to a hydrologist. Zimmerman stated that the City Code requires notification be
sent to the DNR Commissioner and that was done on April 29.
Baker referred to the staff report where it states “…within the Shoreland Overlay District, boathouses
are listed as uses that shall be allowed if certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility of the conditional use with other permitted uses of the district.” He said he is wondering
about the word “incompatibility” and the words “certain conditions” and he thinks there should be a
finding about certain conditions having been met outside of the Conditional Use Permit. Zimmerman
said his reading of that language is that the City can impose conditions to make this use (boathouse)
compatible and the only conditions staff thought were appropriate were about the use and the
elevation. He added that otherwise, the boathouse use is compatible with the single family homes up
and down the shore. Baker said the word “incompatible” is undefined and depends on staff subjectively
deciding on compatibility. Zimmerman said yes, but this is an allowed use unless the City finds it so
incompatible that there needs to be conditions or other regulations added.
Johnson asked how a boathouse is different than a shed or other structure. Zimmerman said all
boathouses are sheds, but not all sheds are boathouses so if it is storing boats and boating equipment by
definition it is a boathouse. He added that a structure built in the Shoreland Overlay District that wasn’t
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting
May 29, 2019 – 7 pm

used for boating related activities wouldn’t be allowed. Johnson asked if a site plan review is required.
Zimmerman said no.
Baker asked if there are any limits to the size of a boathouse. Zimmerman said not specifically for
boathouses, but once an accessory structure is more than 200 square feet in size a building permit is
required and that detached accessory structures are not allowed to be larger than 800 square feet.
Andy Snope, Applicant, said he is proposing a simple boathouse and that he is trying to do restorative
measures to the lakeshore by removing the old shed and hopefully creating more of a buffer than what
is currently there.
Baker referred to the photos submitted and said it looks like there is blue grass down to shore. He asked
Snope if he is going to change that to include more natural vegetation. Snope said the existing conditions
include sod down to the lake but he has been working on creating a buffer by letting the area grow
naturally and encroach into the existing grass.
Blum opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Blum closed the public
hearing.
Baker said he is supportive of the proposal. Sadeghi agreed.
Johnson referred to the second factor of evaluation listed in the staff report where it states that the
proposed use is not inconsistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the Comprehensive Plan
and asked if they’ve always used a double negative. Zimmerman said staff has tried to use the language
from the Code and that he thinks it gives the Planning Commission some room to point issues out as
needed.
Blum asked staff to comment as to whether a boathouse is a common structure in this particular location
on the shoreline in that neighborhood. Zimmerman said boathouses are not uncommon structures but
he knows of only one other newly constructed boathouse that has gone through the Conditional Use
Permit approval process. He added that the others have been there a long time and are probably
grandfathered-in. Blum said he thinks having a boathouse on a shoreline is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan in regards to wanting to maintain areas that useful to the public, or for social or
other reasonable uses.
MOTION made by Brookins, seconded by Johnson to recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit
166 allowing for a boathouse in the Shoreland Overlay District at 1030 Angelo Drive subject to the
findings and recommendations listed below. Blum added that he finds that the discussion of the factors
of evaluation are well reasoned and point definitively towards being in favor of recommending approval
of the application and he would make similar findings in all regards as they’ve been presented to the
Planning Commission and the motion carried unanimously:
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting
May 29, 2019 – 7 pm

Findings:
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use: Standard met. The applicant currently utilizes a shed that is
non-compliant and within an area restricted because of the elevation of the floodplain. The
proposed boathouse would replace the shed in a conforming location and would be used to house
boats and other boating equipment.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Standard conditionally met. The proposed use is not
inconsistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning
Code allows for boathouses in the Shoreland Overlay District.
3. Effect upon Property Values: Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts from the construction
of a new boathouse.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion: Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts on traffic
flow or congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: Standard met. Due to the nature of the proposed
use, there are no anticipated increases in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City’s Mixed-Income Housing Policy: Not applicable.
7. Increase in Noise Levels: Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated to generate excessive
noise.
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or Vibration: Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to generate excessive odors, dust, smoke, gas, or vibrations.
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin: Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance: Standard met. The new boathouse, combined with recent landscaping on the
property, is likely to provide an enhanced visual appearance compared to the existing structure.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public Health, Safety, and Welfare: Standard conditionally met. If
constructed at the proper elevation above the floodplain, the proposed use is not anticipated to
have any other impacts on the surrounding area.
Conditions:
1. The boathouse shall be used solely for the storage of boats and boating equipment.
2. The boathouse shall be constructed to include two feet of freeboard above the base flood elevation
of 831.7 feet (NGVD29 vertical datum).
3. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development.

3. G. Approval of Golden Valley Fire Relief Association By-Law Pension Amount
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
John Crelly, Fire Chief
Summary
In 2018, staff worked with the Golden Valley Fire Relief Association (GVFRA) to update their
policies and by-laws on increases to their yearly pension levels to include the following:
Set their internal policies so that the funding level (assets over liabilities) on their
current SC form has to be at least 120%. This means an increase will only be eligible
for consideration if assets exceed liabilities by 120% and after an increase is applied to
the assets to liabilities ratio cannot be less than 120%. This percentage allows less
volatility with the markets and less likely for a municipal contribution (levy) when an
increase is approved to the yearly pension.
Change timing to review in March instead of December/January with their members.
This would allow the audit to be completed and the use of actual numbers instead of
estimates for the funding level. In 2019, the 2018 audit fieldwork was complete in
May.
All requests for increases will be approved by Council before an increase is effective. If
the benefit is increased without ratification and a municipal contribution should
subsequently become required, the benefit level is no longer effective without
ratification and any future benefits can only be paid using the ratified benefit level
the relief association must drop its benefit level to the last ratified level).
The GVFRA met on June 5 and voted unanimously upon the request an additional $400 for a
yearly service pension amount for a total of $8,700. The increase would lower the ratio to 126%.
This request meets the criteria above and staff is recommending the increase. The following
resolution will need to be considered before the yearly service pension is effective.

Prepared By

Summary
Legislation included an appropriation of $13 million for deputy registrar reimbursement grants
related to the development and deployment of the Minnesota License and Registration System
MNLARS). The allocation formula was set by the State and approved this last legislative session.
Since implementation, our office has had to use overtime to complete processes that were easier
handled with the legacy software maintained by the state. At the time of implementation, certain
transactions were unable to be completed or took twice as long to complete. Due to the
implementation, our customer service was compromised. When customers were sent away due
to the system weakness that was potential customer that may not come back to our office.
This resolution will allow us along with many registrars to receive reimbursement of their time
and lost transaction fees due to the new software. The deadline for the grant and liability release
is June 30, 2019.

3. K. Supporting Grant Application to Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) for Capacity
Building Initiative Funding
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Senior Planner/Grant Writer
Emily Anderson, Planning Intern
Summary
MHFA’s Capacity Building Initiative is intended to build organizational capacity to address housing
disparities, empower underrepresented communities, pilot innovative solutions to housing
challenges, and support inclusive communities. Funding is available to organizations and
communities to use their local knowledge and creativity to develop strategies that work for them.
The Capacity Building Initiative provides funding to build organizational capacity, launch creative,
housing-related projects and initiatives, and promote partnerships across Minnesota. MHFA is
accepting proposals for projects and activities that address root causes of disparities in
homeownership and has allocated $450,000 for this initiative. Grants of up to $40,000 of one-
time funding for one-year projects will be awarded in an equitable geographic distribution of
funds to non-profit organizations and government agencies across the state. Funding will help
grantees meet project objectives, develop a knowledge base, and the programming to ultimately
increase effectiveness and impact in the long term.
Through the development of the Housing Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the City’s
2019 Affordable Housing Work Plan, staff has identified a project that aligns well with this grant
opportunity. The project involves researching how city-owned remnant land can be utilized for
affordable homeownership opportunities in the future. This could potentially be administered
through a community land trust model with partners such as the West Hennepin Affordable
Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT) or Habitat for Humanity.
To be able to achieve this goal, there is a need for in-depth legal research to better understand
how the city would be able to legally utilize this land for a land trust model. The results of the legal
research will guide Golden Valley’s next steps in using City-owned remnant parcels for this public
purpose. Staff hopes to implement a request for proposals (RFP) for this work. The RFP would
incorporate the advice received from the Rising TIDES (Trust, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Social
Justice) Task Force and would contain criteria designed to meet MHFA’s goal of partnering with
experts from underrepresented communities (people of color and indigenous people, people with
disabilities, low-income people), with the goal being to identify a law firm with significant
connections to and understanding of underrepresented communities to complete this research.
Remnant parcels are common across the state of Minnesota. The legal research that would be
accomplished if Golden Valley were awarded this grant would not only apply to Golden Valley, but
would be applicable to every local government entity in the state of Minnesota. This research could
open up new possibilities for leveraging publicly-owned vacant parcels for affordable housing
statewide.
The grant application also includes a partnership with the Golden Valley Housing Coalition and
other non-profit organizations for community engagement efforts surrounding this specific pilot
project and on the topic of affordable housing in general. Engaging with adjacent property owners
near the currently vacant parcels as well as engagement with low-income families who could
benefit from the creation of affordable and safe housing is crucial to the success of this pilot
project. To achieve the grant’s goal of empowering underrepresented communities, staff hopes
work in partnership with these organizations to target the outreach to families of racial minorities
to help address regional trends of racial disparity in homeownership. The region currently has the
highest rate of homeownership out of the top 25 most populous metro areas in the United States,
yet has the largest disparity of homeownership between white residents and residents of color. In
applying for this capacity building grant, Golden Valley could emerge as a leader in racial equity in
housing in the Twin Cities region and could help provide affordable housing in high opportunity
areas in Golden Valley.
The final component of Golden Valley’s grant application to MHFA for Capacity Building Initiative
Funding is a request for funds for the action of acquiring surveys, completing platting and zoning of
the properties for residential use, and any other activities associated with the disposition of city-
owned land. These actions would ultimately conclude a pilot program in which local government
utilizes its ownership of remnant land for the creation of affordable homes in an area of high
opportunity.
Staff is seeking support from the City Council to apply for the Capacity Building Initiative Grant of
up to $40,000 for this work, which would completed over the next 12 months (upon receipt of the
grant award). There is no local match required. A resolution supporting the application is attached.

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing – Approval of Conditional Use Permit 166 – 1030 Angelo Drive
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Andy Snope is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for 1030 Angelo Drive in order to
construct a boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District. An existing nonconforming shed
would be removed and a new structure built in a conforming location. The Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) designates Sweeney Lake as a Recreational Development Lake,
requiring a building setback of 75 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark. Boathouses are
allowed to be constructed within this setback through the issuance of a CUP.
At the Planning Commission meeting on May 29, the Commission recommended approval (5-0) of
Conditional Use Permit 166.
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing to construct a larger boathouse at a higher elevation in order to store
kayaks and other boating equipment. He has worked with the City to design a back yard plan that
meets the requirements of the Floodplain Management, Stormwater Management, and Shoreland
Overlay sections of code. The 12’ x 14’ boathouse would be located above the 831.7 foot contour
and the elevation of the lowest floor would need to meet the requirements of the City’s
stormwater management and floodplain management controls, which require two feet of
freeboard above the base flood elevation.
Zoning Analysis
As noted in Section 113-149 (b) of the City Code, the State Legislature has delegated responsibility to
the City “to regulate the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public waters and for
purposes of preserving and enhancing the quality of surface waters, preserving the economic and
natural environmental values of shorelands, and providing for the wise utilization of waters and
related land resources.” Within the Shoreland Overlay District, boathouses are listed as uses that
shall be allowed if “certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the incompatibility of the
conditional use with other permitted uses of the district.”
The regulations of the district require that boathouses not be used for habitation and that they do
not contain sanitary facilities. Neither of these restrictions are in conflict with the proposed use. A
final requirement of the district is that the Commissioner of the DNR be notified of the CUP
hearing. A letter was sent on April 29 but no comments have been received to date.
In addition to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District, the side yard setback for an
accessory structure in the Single-Family (R-1) Residential Zoning District is five feet from the
property line. The location of the proposed boathouse meets this setback.
CUP Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors (which need not be weighed equally). Any conditions imposed by the permit should
respond to and attempt to mitigate impacts generated by the proposed use.
Factor Finding
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use Standard met. The applicant currently utilizes
a shed that is non-compliant and within an
area restricted because of the elevation of the
floodplain. The proposed boathouse would
replace the shed in a conforming location and
would be used to house boats and other
boating equipment.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Standard conditionally met. The proposed use
is not inconsistent with the Low Density
Residential designation in the Comprehensive
Plan. The Zoning Code allows for boathouses in
the Shoreland Overlay District.
3. Effect upon Property Values Standard met. There are no anticipated
impacts from the construction of a new
boathouse.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion Standard met. There are no anticipated
impacts on traffic flow or congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and
Density
Standard met. Due to the nature of the
proposed use, there are no anticipated
increases in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City’s Mixed-Income
Housing Policy
Not applicable.
7. Increase in Noise Levels Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to generate excessive noise.
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or
Vibration
Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to generate excessive odors, dust,
smoke, gas, or vibrations.
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance Standard met. The new boathouse, combined
with recent landscaping on the property, is
likely to provide an enhanced visual
appearance compared to the existing
structure.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public
Health, Safety, and Welfare
Standard conditionally met. If constructed at
the proper elevation above the floodplain, the
proposed use is not anticipated to have any
other impacts on the surrounding area.
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 166 allowing for the construction of a
boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District at 1030 Angelo Drive. The approval of the
conditional Use Permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. The boathouse shall be used solely for the storage of boats and boating equipment.
2. The boathouse shall be constructed to include two feet of freeboard above the base flood
elevation of 831.7 feet (NGVD29 vertical datum).
3. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development.
Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the
CUP. Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with Hennepin
County.

RE: Conditional Use Permit Application May 23, 2019
Snope
1030 Angelo Drive
Dear Neighbors,
My name is Andy Snope, I live at 1030 Angelo Drive with my wife Gretchen. We have applied to
the City of Godden Valley for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 12'x 14' Boat House on
our property in our back yard near the lake shore. Currently we have an 8'x 8' grandfathered
non-compliant shed in our back yard very close to the lake shore. Our plan is to build the new
boat house at an elevation above the flood elevation and back further from the lake and
remove the existing 8' x 8' shed.
A conditional use permit is required by the city when constructing a boat house within the
shore land overlay district in accordance with city ordinance 113-149(d)(4)b of city code.
Approval of this permit requires two hearings at City Hall. The first will take place with the
Planning Commission on May 29 at 7:00 pm. The second is likely to take place with the City
Council on June 18 at 6:30 pm. These meetings will consist of a portion in which you will be able
to make comments, voice concerns or ask questions. You will receive official notices from the
City prior to each hearing and are welcome to attend and/or provide comments. Please also
feel free to reach out to me or to city staff with any questions or comments before the
meetings.

Summary
Andy Snope is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for 1030 Angelo Drive in order to
construct a boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District. An existing nonconforming shed
would be removed and a new structure built in a conforming location. The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) designates Sweeney Lake as a Recreational Development
Lake, requiring a building setback of 75 feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark. Boathouses are
allowed to be constructed within this setback through the issuance of a CUP.
Existing Conditions
The subject property, which sits on the southwestern shore of Sweeney Lake, contains an 8' x 8'
shed that sits just a few feet from the water as a "nonconforming substandard use." An extensive
rear yard landscaping project undertaken in 2018 has resulted in an improved layout providing a
natural stone patio and fire pit area as well as vegetation for erosion control below the 831.7 foot
contour which marks the base flood elevation of Sweeney Lake. If the CUP is approved,the
existing shed would be removed.
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing to construct a larger boathouse at a higher elevation in order to store
kayaks and other boating equipment. He has worked with the City to design a back yard plan that
meets the requirements of the Floodplain Management, Stormwater Management, and
Shoreland Overlay sections of code. The 12' x 14' boathouse would be located above the 831.7
foot contour and the elevation of the lowest floor would need to meet the requirements of the
City's stormwater management and floodplain management controls, which require two feet of
freeboard above the base flood elevation.
Neighborhood Notification
The applicant delivered a letter of notification to all properties within 500 feet of the subject
property. To date, staff has not been contacted regarding any questions or concerns.
Zoning Considerations
As noted in Section 113- 149 (b) of the City Code,the State Legislature has delegated responsibility
to the City "to regulate the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public waters and
for purposes of preserving and enhancing the quality of surface waters, preserving the economic
and natural environmental values of shorelands, and providing for the wise utilization of waters and
related land resources." Within the Shoreland Overlay District, boathouses are listed as uses that
shall be allowed if"certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the incompatibility of
the conditional use with other permitted uses of the district."
The regulations of the district require that boathouses not be used for habitation and that they
do not contain sanitary facilities. Neither of these restrictions are in conflict with the proposed
use. A final requirement of the district is that the Commissioner of the DNR be notified of the
CUP hearing. A letter was sent on April 29 but no comments have been received to date.
2
In addition to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District,the side yard setback for an
accessory structure in the Single-Family (R-1) Residential Zoning District is five feet from the
property line. The location of the proposed boathouse meets this setback.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors (which need not be weighed equally):
Factor Finding
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use Standard met. The applicant currently utilizes a
shed that is non-compliant and within an area
restricted because of the elevation of the
floodplain. The proposed boathouse would
replace the shed in a conforming location and
would be used to house boats and other
boating equipment.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Standard conditionally met. The proposed use
is not inconsistent with the Low Density
Residential designation in the Comprehensive
Plan. The Zoning Code allows for boathouses in
the Shoreland Overlay District.
3. Effect upon Property Values Standard met. There are no anticipated
impacts from the construction of a new
boathouse.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion Standard met. There are no anticipated
impacts on traffic flow or congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Standard met. Due to the nature of the
Density proposed use, there are no anticipated
increases in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City's Mixed-Income Not applicable.
Housing Policy
7. Increase in Noise Levels Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to generate excessive noise.
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or Standard met. The proposed use is not
Vibration anticipated to generate excessive odors, dust,
smoke, gas, or vibrations.
3
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance Standard met. The new boathouse, combined
with recent landscaping on the property, is
likely to provide an enhanced visual
appearance compared to the existing
structure.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public Standard conditionally met. If constructed at
Health, Safety, and Welfare the proper elevation above the floodplain, the
proposed use is not anticipated to have any
other impacts on the surrounding area.
The Engineering Division has reviewed the application and supports approval of the CUP.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 166 allowing
for the construction of a boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District at 1030 Angelo Drive.
The approval of the Conditional Use Permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. The boathouse shall be used solely for the storage of boats and boating equipment.
2. The boathouse shall be constructed to include two feet of freeboard above the base flood
elevation of 831.7 feet (NGVD29 vertical datum).
3. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.
Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the
CUP. Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with Hennepin
County.

1. Public Hearing
Applicant: Andy Snope
Address: 1030 Angelo Drive
Purpose: A Conditional Use Permit to allow for a boathouse within the Shoreland Overlay District
Zimmerman referred to a location map and explained the applicant's request to construct a boathouse
within the Shoreland Overlay district. He stated that boathouses are the only structures allowed within
the Shoreland Overlay district and by conditional use only. He referred to aerial photos of the property
and noted that there is currently an 8' x 8' shed on the property, also in the Shoreland Overlay district
that would be removed as part of this proposal.

City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular- Meeting 2
May 29, 2019 — 7 pm
Zimmerman stated that the applicant did an extensive rear yard landscaping project last year which
included plans for a boathouse and that the applicant worked closely with the City to address Shoreland
Overlay, Floodplain, and many other regulations.
Zimmerman referred to the language in the Shoreland Overlay District code and stated that the purpose
of the District is "to regulate the development of the shorelands of public waters." The language also
states that boathouses shall be allowed if "certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility of the conditional use with other permitted uses of the district," and that the DNR
Commissioner must be notified.
Zimmerman referred to a landscaping plan and discussed the location of the floodplain and the
Shoreland Overlay district. He showed where the boathouse is proposed to be built and stated that it
would be 12' x 14' in size, would be located further away from the lakeshore, and would be used to store
kayaks and other boating equipment. He added that the proposed boathouse would meet the setback
requirements which are 75 ft. from the ordinary high water mark of Sweeney Lake, and 5 ft. from the
side yard property line. The proposed boathouse would also meet the engineering requirement that the
lowest floor opening be at least 2 ft. above the floodplain elevation (831.7')
Zimmerman referred to the evaluation factors used when considering conditional use permits and said
that the vast majority of them aren't applicable for a boathouse. He said staff is recommending approval
of the Conditional Use Permit with two conditions. The first is that the boathouse is to be used solely for
the storage of boats and boating equipment and the second is that the boathouse construction must
include 2' of freeboard above the base floor elevation of 831.7'.
Baker asked if there is a DNR permit required, or just notification. He also asked if the notice went to the
DNR Commissioner or to a hydrologist. Zimmerman stated that the City Code requires notification be
sent to the DNR Commissioner and that was done on April 29.
Baker referred to the staff report where it states "...within the Shoreland Overlay District, boathouses
are listed as uses that shall be allowed if certain conditions are met which eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility of the conditional use with other permitted uses of the district." He said he is wondering
about the word "incompatibility" and the words "certain conditions" and he thinks there should be a
finding about certain conditions having been met outside of the Conditional Use Permit. Zimmerman
said his reading of that language is that the City can impose conditions to make this use (boathouse)
compatible and the only conditions staff thought were appropriate were about the use and the
elevation. He added that otherwise, the boathouse use is compatible with the single family homes up
and down the shore. Baker said the word "incompatible" is undefined and depends on staff subjectively
deciding on compatibility. Zimmerman said yes, but this is an allowed use unless the City finds it so
incompatible that there needs to be conditions or other regulations added.
Johnson asked how a boathouse is different than a shed or other structure. Zimmerman said all
boathouses are sheds, but not all sheds are boathouses so if it is storing boats and boating equipment by
definition it is a boathouse. He added that a structure built in the Shoreland Overlay District that wasn't
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting 3
May 29, 2019— 7 pm
used for boating related activities wouldn't be allowed. Johnson asked if a site plan review is required.
Zimmerman said no.
Baker asked if there are any limits to the size of a boathouse. Zimmerman said not specifically for
boathouses, but once an accessory structure is more than 200 square feet in size a building permit is
required and that detached accessory structures are not allowed to be larger than 800 square feet.
Andy Snope, Applicant, said he is proposing a simple boathouse and that he is trying to do restorative
measures to the lakeshore by removing the old shed and hopefully creating more of a buffer than what
is currently there.
Baker referred to the photos submitted and said it looks like there is blue grass down to shore. He asked
Snope if he is going to change that to include more natural vegetation. Snope said the existing conditions
include sod down to the lake but he has been working on creating a buffer by letting the area grow
naturally and encroach into the existing grass.
Blum opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Blum closed the public
hearing.
Baker said he is supportive of the proposal. Sadeghi agreed.
Johnson referred to the second factor of evaluation listed in the staff report where it states that the
proposed use is not inconsistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the Comprehensive Plan
and asked if they've always used a double negative. Zimmerman said staff has tried to use the language
from the Code and that he thinks it gives the Planning Commission some room to point issues out as
needed.
Blum asked staff to comment as to whether a boathouse is a common structure in this particular location
on the shoreline in that neighborhood. Zimmerman said boathouses are not uncommon structures but
he knows of only one other newly constructed boathouse that has gone through the Conditional Use
Permit approval process. He added that the others have been there a long time and are probably
grandfathered-in. Blum said he thinks having a boathouse on a shoreline is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan in regards to wanting to maintain areas that useful to the public, or for social or
other reasonable uses.
MOTION made by Brookins, seconded by Johnson to recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit
166 allowing for a boathouse in the Shoreland Overlay District at 1030 Angelo Drive subject to the
findings and recommendations listed below. Blum added that he finds that the discussion of the factors
of evaluation are well reasoned and point definitively towards being in favor of recommending approval
of the application and he would make similar findings in all regards as they've been presented to the
Planning Commission and the motion carried unanimously:
City of Golden Valley Planning Commission Regular Meeting
May 29, 201.9 --7 pm
Findings:
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use: Standard met. The applicant currently utilizes a shed that is
non-compliant and within an area restricted because of the elevation of the floodplain. The
proposed boathouse would replace the shed in a conforming location and would be used to house
boats and other boating equipment.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Standard conditionally met. The proposed use is not
inconsistent with the Low Density Residential designation in the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning
Code allows for boathouses in the Shoreland Overlay District.
3. Effect upon Property Values: Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts from the construction
of a new boathouse.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion: Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts on traffic
flow or congestion.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: Standard met. Due to the nature of the proposed
use, there are no anticipated increases in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City's Mixed-Income Housing Policy: Not applicable.
7. Increase in Noise Levels: Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated to generate excessive
noise.
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or Vibration: Standard met. The proposed use is not
anticipated to generate excessive odors, dust, smoke, gas, or vibrations.
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin: Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance: Standard met. The new boathouse, combined with recent landscaping on the
property, is likely to provide an enhanced visual appearance compared to the existing structure.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public Health, Safety, and Welfare: Standard conditionally met. If
constructed at the proper elevation above the floodplain, the proposed use is not anticipated to
have any other impacts on the surrounding area.
Conditions:
1. The boathouse shall be used solely for the storage of boats and boating equipment.
2. The boathouse shall be constructed to include two feet of freeboard above the base flood elevation
of 831.7 feet (NGVD29 vertical datum).
3. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with
authority over this development.

Prepared By
Eric Eckman,Development and Assets Supervisor
Summary
The owners of the property at 5900 and 6100 Golden Hills Drive,Golden Hills Business Park,were
approved for a PUD amendment to make minor changes to the site.This amendment prompted a
review of the easements and utilities serving the site.Upon review,it was determined that most of
the public easements on the property contain privately owned utilities and therefore the easements
can be vacated.The easements proposed for vacation are highlighted in red in the attached exhibit.
As part of this process the City and owners will enter into a maintenance agreement to outline the
owners’responsibilities with respect to the private utilities.
A notice of public hearing regarding the proposed easement vacation was published and posted and
letters were sent to the affected property owners.Staff sent a letter to all private utility companies
requesting their review and comment,and there have been no objections to this easement
vacation.Since the easements are not adjacent to a public water,notice to the Commissioner of
Natural Resources is not required.
In accordance with state statutes,a four fifths majority vote in favor of the resolution is required to
approve this easement vacation.

and waive all rights that they might have to receive notice and a hearing or to
contest these assessments, including without limitation any rights Owners may
have under Minnesota Statutes, section 429.081. Further, the City may enforce
the terms of this Agreement by any proceeding in law or in equity to restrain
violation, compel compliance, or to recover damages, including attorneys’ fees
and costs of the enforcement actions.
4) Nonwaiver and Severability. No party’s failure or neglect to enforce any of its
rights under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of that party’s rights.
Invalidation of any of the terms of this Agreement will in no way affect any of the

1.05. Optional Redemption. The City may elect on February 1, 2029, and on any
day thereafter to prepay Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2030. Redemption may be

DTC (as defined in Section 7 hereof) of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant’s interest in such
maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial
ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed. Prepayments will be at a price of par
plus accrued interest.
Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The
interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable
by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last
interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond
has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an
interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in
which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of
Resolution No. 19-40 -3- June 18, 2019
authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be
dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1
and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2020, to the registered owners of
record as of the close of business on the 15th day of the immediately preceding month,
whether or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a Registrar, transfer agent, authenticating
agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties
of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office
a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of
Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be
registered, transferred or exchanged.
b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner
thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the
Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and
maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the
books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding
each interest payment date and until that interest payment date.
c) Exchange of Bonds. When any Bonds are surrendered by the
registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by
the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing.
d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be
promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the
City.
e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the
Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of
transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized.
The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers
which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Bond is then registered in the bond register as the absolute
owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all
other purposes and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s
order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Resolution No. 19-40 -4- June 18, 2019
g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon
the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds in an amount sufficient to
reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be
paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and
charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to it that
the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and
amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the
Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be
cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the
City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been
called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new
Bond prior to payment.
i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption,
written notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the
Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage
prepaid) 30 days prior to the date of redemption to the registered owner of each
Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the
Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by
publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for
redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that
time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints U.S. Bank National
Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Clerk are
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon
merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting
corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the
resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the
reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City
reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days’ notice and upon the appointment
of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash
and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register
to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further
order of this Council, the City Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys
sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under
the direction of the City Finance Director and executed on behalf of the City by the
Resolution No. 19-40 -5- June 18, 2019
signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk, provided that those signatures may be printed,
engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a
facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the
delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for
all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery.
Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds
need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication
on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this
Resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City
Finance Director will deliver the same to the Purchaser thereof upon payment of the
purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and
the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Form. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
3.02 Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director is authorized and
directed to obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven,
Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and
to cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.
Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
4.01 Debt Service Fund. The Bonds are payable from the General Obligation
Improvement Bonds, Series 2019A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby
created. The Debt Service Fund shall be administered and maintained by the Finance
Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in
the official financial records of the City. Amounts in the Debt Service Fund are irrevocably
pledged to the Bonds. To the Debt Service Fund hereby created, there is hereby pledged
and irrevocably appropriated and there will be credited: (A) the proceeds of ad valorem
taxes herein or hereafter levied (the “Taxes”), and, subject to 4.02, the special
assessments levied against the property specially benefited by the Improvements (the
Assessments”); (B) capitalized interest financed from Bond proceeds, if any; (C) the
amount over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated
for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof; and (D) all
investment earnings on funds in the Debt Service Fund; and (E) any and all other moneys
which are properly available and are appropriated by the City Council to the Debt Service
Fund. If a payment of principal or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there is not
sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Finance Director is
directed to pay such principal or interest from other funds of the City, and such fund will be
reimbursed for those advances out of the proceeds of Assessments and Taxes when
collected.
Resolution No. 19-40 -6- June 18, 2019
4.02 Construction Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made
in Section 4.01, together with the Assessments collected during the construction of the
Improvements and any other funds appropriated for the Improvements will be deposited in
a separate construction fund (the “Construction Fund”) to be used solely to defray
expenses of the Improvements and the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds prior
to the completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements. Any balance remaining in
the Construction Fund after completion of the Improvements and the costs thereof paid,
may be used as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 475.65. Thereafter, the
Construction Fund is to be closed and any remaining balances therein and subsequent
collections of Assessments for the Improvements and any Taxes are to be deposited in the
Debt Service Fund.
4.03. City Covenants. The City hereby covenants with the holders from time to time
of the Bonds as follows:
a) It is hereby determined that that the Improvements will directly and
indirectly benefit abutting property and other identified property, and at least 20% of the
costs of the Improvements to the City will be paid by Assessments. The City has
caused or will cause the Assessments for the Improvements to be promptly levied so
that the first installment will be collectible not later than 2020 and will take all steps
necessary to assure prompt collection, and the levy of the Assessments is hereby
authorized. The City Council will cause to be taken with due diligence all further actions
that are required for the construction of each Improvement financed wholly or partly
from the proceeds of the Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final
and valid levy of the Assessments and the appropriation of any other funds needed to
pay the Bonds and interest thereon when due.
b) In the event of any current or anticipated deficiency in Assessments, the
City Council will levy ad valorem taxes in the amount of the current or anticipated
deficiency.
c) The City will keep complete and accurate books and records showing:
receipts and disbursements in connection with the Improvements, Assessments levied
therefor and other funds appropriated for their payment, collections thereof and
disbursements therefrom, monies on hand and, the balance of unpaid Assessments.
d) The City will cause its books and records to be audited at least annually
and will furnish copies of such audit reports to any interested person upon request.
4.04. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on
the Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax (the “Taxes”) upon all
of the taxable property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with
and as part of other general taxes of the City. The taxes will be credited to the Debt Service
Fund above provided and will be in the years (being each year of collection) and amounts
as set forth in Exhibit C.
It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of Assessments and the
foregoing Taxes will produce at least 5% in excess of the amount needed to meet when
due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds.
Resolution No. 19-40 -7- June 18, 2019
4.05. Certification to County Auditor as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is hereby
determined that the estimated collections of Assessments and the foregoing Taxes will
produce at least 5% in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and
interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy herein provided is irrepealable until all of the
Bonds are paid, provided that at the time the City makes its annual tax levies the City
Finance Director may certify to the County Auditor of Hennepin County the amount
available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and interest due during the ensuing
year, and the County Auditor will thereupon reduce the levy collectible during such year by
the amount so certified.
4.06. County Auditor Certificate as to Registration. The City Clerk is authorized
and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin
County and to obtain the certificate required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.

transcripts as may be required to show the facts within their knowledge or as shown by the
books and records in their custody and under their control, relating to the validity and
marketability of the Bonds, and such instruments, including any heretofore furnished, may

facts and representations made therein as of the date of the Official Statement.
5.03. Other Certificates. The Mayor, City Manager, City Clerk and Finance
Director, or any of them, are hereby authorized and directed to furnish to the Purchaser at

certificate as to absence of material litigation, and the Finance Director shall also execute

6.01. Tax-Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from
time to time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers,
employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become

establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds
under Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to
temporary periods for investments, limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater
than the yield on the Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the
United States, if the Bonds do not qualify for the small issuer exception to the federal
arbitrage rebate requirements.

arbitrage rebate requirements, the City finds, determines and declares that the

within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code.
6.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the
proceeds of the Bonds or the Improvements financed or refinanced by the Bonds, or to
cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds
to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of
the Code.
6.04. Qualified Tax Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified
tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City
makes the following factual statements and representations:
a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of
the Code;
b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other
than any private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be
issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2019
will not exceed $10,000,000; and
d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during
calendar year 2019 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the
Code.
6.05. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any
federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations
made by this section.
Resolution No. 19-40 -9- June 18, 2019
Section 7. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
7.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single
typewritten or printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section
1.04 hereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond will be registered in
the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns (“DTC”).
Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be registered in the
registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
7.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept
by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and
the Paying Agent will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and
other financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities
depository (the “Participants”) or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds
an interest in the Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with
respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any
other person (other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books
kept by the Registrar) of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of
redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may treat and consider
the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering
transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay
all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the
respective registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and
all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s
obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of
Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated
Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City
Manager of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words “Cede & Co.,” will refer to such new nominee of
DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the City Manager will promptly deliver a copy of
the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to
DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will
govern payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with
respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed by the City
with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of
the City in the Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and Paying Agent,
respectively, to be complied with at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of
the City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial
Resolution No. 19-40 -10- June 18, 2019
interests in the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC,
whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond
certificates. In such event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as
requested by DTC and any other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of
this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with
respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is
appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in
accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer,
exchange and method of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
resolution to the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bond and notices with respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the
manner provided in DTC’s Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation
Letter.
Section 8. Continuing Disclosure.
8.01. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City
hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of
the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate will not
be considered an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however any Bondholder may
take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or
specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under
this section.
8.02. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure
Certificate” means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and
City Clerk and dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed
and as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 9. Defeasance. When all Bonds (or any portion thereof) and all accrued
interest thereon, have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and
other rights granted by this Resolution to the holders of the Bonds (or respective portion
thereof) will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt
and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and
effect. The City may discharge all Bonds (or respective portion thereof) which are due on any
date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full or by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable institution qualified by law
as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States of America, or any other security authorized under Minnesota law
for such purpose, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on
such dates and in such amounts as shall be required and sufficient, subject to sale and/or
reinvestment in like securities, to pay said obligation(s), which may include any interest
payment on such Bond and/or principal amount due thereon at a stated maturity (or if
irrevocable provision shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such principal
Resolution No. 19-40 -11- June 18, 2019
amount, at such earlier redemption date). If any Bond should not be paid when due, it may
nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit.
