GOLDEN VALLEY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION MEETING
Minutes from the Meeting of October 7, 2010
Members Present: Christopher Jordan, Marion Helland, Debra Yahle and Bob Hoyt. Anne
Dykstra arrived shortly after the meeting began.
Members Absent: Roger McConico.
Staff Present: Chief Stacy Altonen and Council Member DeDe Scanlon.
The meeting was called to order by Chair Jordan at 7:00 pm.
PROPOSED DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP ORDINANCE
Chief Altonen introduced Kim Donat from Best & Flanagan.
Chair Jordan recommended a fee section be added to the Golden Valley ordinance (similar
to section 2 of the Edina ordinance) to allow for a family registration. Kim Donat advised
Subdivision 3B of the Golden Valley draft addresses family registrations.
Commissioner Yahle inquired if a timeline for application should be included in the
ordinance. Kim Donat advised a timeline would not be necessary since registrations are
processed quickly.
Commissioner Hoyt asked if the city clerk would have to sign off on the registration and
Chief Altonen advised the city clerk would have to certify the registration as is customary
for all city registrations.
Commissioner Hoyt inquired about the 45 day timeframe required for termination of a
domestic partnership registration. Kim Donat advised the partner pursuing the termination
is required to wait 45 days after serving his /her domestic partner with a termination form to
file the termination with the city clerk.
Commissioner Yahle asked what fees are involved in the application process. Kim Donat
advised she is proposing a $40.00 registration fee and $25.00 fee for certified copies of
registration, amendments and /or notice of terminations.
Commissioner Yahle inquired if language should be included in the ordinance to clarify that
a domestic partnership registration has limited benefits as outlined in Edina's ordinance
Section 1: Purpose. Kim Donat advised this language could be added on an instruction
sheet cover page to the application, but is not a disclaimer that would be included in the
ordinance.
Commissioner Dykstra asked if the language pertaining to the Minnesota Government Data
Practices Act noted in Edina's Section 195.03 F should be included in Golden Valley's
ordinance. Kim Donat advised Golden Valley's ordinance would address this data practices
in Subdivision 3B.
Human Rights Commission
October 7, 2010

Subject: Appointment to GVHSF
Looking at my beautiful certificate that was given to me the date that I was sworn in, I
noticed that my appointment end date is May 11, 2011. Unfortunately, with a heavy
heart I will need to have an earlier end date.
I had hoped that by now I would have been able to obtain permanent part-time
employment or contract work which would enable me to continue all of my volunteer
endeavors, however that has not happened. It has been extremely hard to obtain part-
time and /or contract work with flexibility (close to home) that would allow me to be able
to continue to donate my time to my volunteer efforts.
However, looking at help wanted ads, monster.com and others, full time employment
seems to be much more available to me. With much soul searching and prayer, I feel at
this time that I need to be aggressive in pursuing full time employment which will result
in me not being able to donate my time as I have in the past.
If GVHSF needs assistance with their upcoming Run in the Valley PR/Marketing of this
event, please let me know -- I do not wish to leave GVHSF needing my help for this
event.
Thanking you in advance,
Brenda M. McGhie

Subject: The End of Dog Licensing?
Good morning:
We would like to protest in the strongest terms possible the Council's intent to approve
Ordinance #455, Regarding Discontinuance of Dog Licensing Requirement. This action
would release the police department "...(from) dog license registration due to the
cumbersome nature of staff involvement and the lack of compliance..."
As the owners of two Great Danes, which have always been licensed, we are concerned
that the council and police department are dispensing with one of the primary reasons for
licensing to begin with: to protect the health of our pet population. In order to license a
dog, a certificate is required from your veterinarian that your dog has met certain health
requirements (shots, vaccines, etc.) When this requirement no longer applies, those of us
that take care of our pets (like the members of our families that they are) can no longer
presume that other pets they come into contact with are safe and healthy for interaction.
Rather, we would be forced to assume that other pets are not subject to regular
veterinarian care and, therefore, a health risk for our dogs. Removing the requirement for
dog licensure places all of our pets' health at risk.
Also, even though prior to the last election there had been discussion of a Golden Valley
dog park, and a request that we be involved in such an endeavor, we've heard no more
about this possibility- to our great disappointment.
We use Minneapolis dog parks, which require licensing in order to be permitted access. If
we can no longer license our dogs in Golden Valley, we would be forced to license them in
Minneapolis for a much higher fee than is currently charged by Golden Valley.
These reasons for our opposition to this ordinance, however, do not even address the issue
of ending an ordinance, law, statute, etc. because it is "inconvenient." How many
ordinances have been changed because the were cumbersome or ineffective? Will laws
against speeding end because it's cumbersome for our policeman to enforce the laws, and
because "everyone does it anyway "? Should the city remove all traffic signals because our
police department can't observe all of them all of the time and drivers "roll through" them
or ignore them? Governing based on the "convenience factor" sets a bad
precedent. Indeed, in this day of budget austerity and ever - more - limited government
services, pet licensing could be a source of revenue, if it were enforced.
We respectfully request that this ordinance be rejected.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
James ( "Greg ") Salter and David ( "Dane ") Anderson

Good morning:
Thank you for your decision to table this matter until your Feb. 15 meeting. Checking on-
line information from the city of Minneapolis website indicates that licensing two dogs has
an annual cost of $70; non - residents must also pay $95 annually for off -leash park permits.
We hope that when you further discuss this matter you'll decide to permanently table this
ordinance.

Subject: Re: The End of Dog Licensing?
Good afternoon:
We've read the agenda for the February 8, 2011, Council/ Manager meeting and
respectfully question some of the findings in Chief Altonen's Executive Summary:
* Of the 9 cities surveyed, only two have no license requirement (Minnetonka and
Plymouth) and only Plymouth has an off -leash park;
* Jean at Crystal Parks and Recreation stated that dogs would need to be licensed in order
to use that city's off -leash park;
* You'll find Plymouth Dog Park Rules and Regulations attached to this email, stating the
"Dogs must be healthy, full immunized, de- wormed, and wearing ID tags;"
* The attached New Hope Media Release states that: "Dogs should be properly licensed
and vaccinated;"
* The attached St. Louis Park "2011 Non - Resident Off -Leash Dog Park Permit Application"
states that "...my dog must have a current dog license to use the dog park;" and,
* Three Rivers Park District Dog Off -leash Area Policies state: "Permit holders must have
certification of current rabies vaccination for each pet readily available when using the dog
off -leash area."
In short, there are requirements that must be met for use of any of the dog parks listed in
the summary, in most cases including licensing. We believe that responsible dog owners
would keep their animals' health and vaccination records current; unfortunately, these are
not the people whose dogs cause the greatest concern.
We respectfully request that the Council leave Section 10.30 in effect. Thank you for your
consideration and time.

BEFORE YOU GO TO THE PARK We think it's or.--
Information from the Animal Humane Society
to your dog every once in a while
Off -leash parks are a great resource for exercising, stimulating
and socializing your dog. That being said, here are a few things to
consider before bringing your dog to the Plymouth Dog Park:
• Wait until you have a rock -solid recall with your dog.
• Not all dogs are familiar with children and may perceive running
and screaming as prey behavior, so keep children close by and
under direct control.
• Many people have difficulty distinguishing normal play behavior
from bullying, and may not realize their dog is being rude.
So ,go with your gut,,, if you feel your dog is becoming
overwhelmed, take it home. The benefits of exercise are lost if
the dog experiences only stress and anxiety.
Located on south side of County Road 47 between Lawndale Lane and Dunkirk Lane
PLYMOUTH'S DOG PARK is a great place for exercising and so&AIi[zf?g your dog
in a safe and fun environment. A park where dogs can run, play, u jd romp with
other dogs without the constraint of leashes. Since dogs are naturally social,
having an open space where dogs can be free is critical to their well- being.
• Plymouth's Dog Park is an unfenced 10 -acre site of open meadows, which
is great for running and playing. In addition, the site features:
• Parking
• Shelter area
• Small dog area (fenced for dogs under 201b)
• Dog tunnels
DOG PARK ETIQUETTE
• Cooperation between dog owners is expected, including keeping order and
enforcing dog park rules.
• Watch your dog at all times.
• Help keep the park clean, pick up and dispose of feces.
• Cover any holes your dog digs.
• Discourage aggressive behavior and barking. Leash your dog immediately if it
shows signs of aggression.
RULES & REGULATIONS
• Please respect our neighbors and
keep your dog within the confines of
the park property.
• Dogs must be leashed prior to
entering and leaving the park.
Owners must carry a leash for each
dog at all times.
• Collars are to be worn at all times.
No pincher or spiked collars.
• Dogs must be accompanied by an
adult (16 or older) at all times.
• Dogs must be healthy, fully
immunized, de- wormed, and wearing
ID tags.
• Female dogs in heat are not
permitted in the park.
• Keep your dogs in sight and never
leave dogs in the park unattended.
• No littering. Place all trash in
receptacles.
• Users of this facility do so at
their own risk. Plymouth Parks and
Recreation is not responsible for any
injury or damage caused by any dog
in the off leash area.
• Plymouth Parks and Recreation is not
responsible for any damaged, lost or
stolen property.
• In case of emergency (dog bite or
unsafe behavior) immediately call
911 for assistance. For all other
issues, please call 763- 509 -5950.

Dog parks open in New Hope
Two dog parks are now open in New Hope at the hockey rink enclosures in Civic Center and Lions parks. A
pet waste station with a bag dispenser and waste bin is provided for the convenience of dog owners. The dog
parks are free and open from dawn until dusk. Parking is available at New Hope City Hall, 4401 Xylon Ave N,
for the Civic Center dog park and on 38th Avenue just east of Oregon Avenue for Lions Park.
Dog park users are asked to follow a few common sense rules, including:
• Dogs must be on leash when entering and leaving the rink enclosure and owners must carry a leash
with them while their pet is exercising.
• Dog owners must be in verbal control of their animals at all times and should leave if their pet becomes
aggressive or barks excessively.
• Dogs should be properly licensed and vaccinated.
• Owners are legally responsible for their dogs and any injuries or damage caused by them.
The hockey rink dog park in Lions Park is a one year trial and will be reevaluated next winter. The dog park in
Civic Center Park went through a one year trial last year and is now a permanent amenity of the park.

3. G. Support for Funding Request by Five Cities Senior Transportation Project from 2011
Consolidated Pool - Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program
Prepared By
Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Summary
In 1985, the City of Golden Valley was one of the founding members of the Five Cities Senior
Transportation Project. This service provides transportation to seniors for trips for shopping,
dining, senior clubs, doctor appointments and other senior activities. The service is funded by
donations from the riders and from the five cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale,
New Hope and Brooklyn Center. From 1985 to 2003, the City of Golden Valley used a portion
of its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that were allocated to Golden
Valley through the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program to pay its share of the project. In
2004, the City was informed that it no longer had a specific allocation dedicated to Golden
Valley due to the changes to its population documented in the 2000 Census. Therefore,
CDBG funds for the Five Cities Senior Transportation Project now come out of the
consolidated pool portion of funds that are part of the Urban Hennepin County CDBG
Program. (The consolidated pool funds are those funds available for eligible projects from
cities in Hennepin County that do not have a specific allocation.) Since 2005 the Five Cities
project was successfully supported by the consolidated pool with support from Golden Valley
and other cities. Since the City of Golden Valley has been a staunch supporter of this Project
since its inception and because it supports transportation needs of seniors in the City, staff is
recommending that the City Council again support the direct funding request by Five Cities
Senior Transportation from the consolidated pool. Any funds received from the consolidated
pool would reduce the amount of funds that the City will have to provide to keep the service
operating. The 2011 Golden Valley obligation for this service is $13,700 as determined by the
Five Cities Senior Transportation Executive Committee.

4. A. Continued Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval - Fretham 11th Addition - 240
Jersey Avenue North
Prepared By
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner
Summary
Curt Fretham, Lakewest Maki, LLC., has proposed to subdivide the property located at 240
Jersey Avenue North into two separate residential lots. The existing home and detached
garage on the property will be removed. At the February 1, 2011 City Council meeting, the
Council voted to table this petition and requested an updated memorandum from the City
Engineer that reflected the new proposal by the applicant. An updated Public Works
memorandum, dated February 7, 2011, is attached.
This action qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property is part of a recorded plat. In
addition, the action will produce fewer than four lots and will not create need for public
improvements. Seven specific criteria that govern minor subdivision requests are outlined, in
their entirety, in the staff report to the Planning Commission, dated January 5, 2011.

2. informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision 240 Jersey Ave N - SU17 -09
Applicant: Lakewest Maki, LLC - Curt Fretham
Address: 240 Jersey Ave N
Purpose: The applicant is proposing to create two new lots for the
construction of one new home.
Hogeboom stated that since the hearing notices were mailed and the agenda packet was
sent out the applicant has changed his proposal slightly. He distributed a copy of the
proposed new plat and explained that the east/west property line has been redrawn to be
straight across instead of angled. The applicant is also proposing to demolish the existing
home and garage and construct two new homes, rather than allowing the existing house to
remain as stated on the hearing notice and the agenda. Hogeboom stated that staff feels
that straightening out the property line between the proposed new lots is the preferred way
to draw property lines in order to accommodate utilities and reduce the need for
easements. He referred to City Engineer Jeff Oliver's staff report and noted that since the
property line will be straight across the lots the condition of requiring a private easement
for utilities no longer applies. Hogeboom noted that both lots will be 10, 974 square feet in
size and both lots will meet all of the City's requirements, therefore staff is recommending
approval of this subdivision request.
Segelbaum asked who owns the property. Hogeboom stated that the applicant is in the
process of purchasing the property and will own it before final plat approval.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
January 10, 2011
Page 2
Cera asked about the age of the existing home. Hogeboom said he didn't know.
Eck asked if the subdivision is approved and the existing home was not removed if it
would meet setback requirements. Hogeboom stated that the existing home would not
meet the side yard setback requirements with the proposed new lot line configuration.
Grimes stated that a condition could be added by the City Council requiring that the
existing home be removed before final plat approval.
Martin Campion, Campion Engineering Services, representing the applicant, stated that
the closing for this property is scheduled for January 28, 2011. At that point, Lakewest
Maki, LLC will be the property owner. He referred to the suggestion regarding removal of
the existing house prior to final plat approval. He said he would prefer that the condition
state that the house and garage will be removed before building permit approval because
the final plat will be filed at the County in February so there won't be enough time to
remove the house and garage before final plat approval.
Cera explained that the City can't approve a plat that would create a non - conforming
situation. Grimes said he would speak with the City Attorney regarding the existing house
being removed. Campion stated their intent is to remove the house and garage at the
same time.
Cera asked why the plans changed from the original submittal. Campion explained that
they have a potential buyer who would like to build a new house on the lot where the
existing house is currently located. Cera asked if the house will be demolished or moved.
Campion said at this point they are planning on demolishing it.
Segelbaum asked the applicant how their plans would be impacted if the sale of the
property falls through. Campion reiterated that their intent at this point is to go through with
the plans to remove the house.
Waldhauser opened the public hearing.
Joanne Marben, 220 Jersey Avenue North, asked how big the new homes will be.
Waldhauser said that probably hasn't been determined yet, but any new construction will
have to be built per the requirements of the Zoning Code. Marben asked if both of the
entrances to the properties would be on Jersey Ave. Waldhauser said yes.
Steve Mickelson, 6809 Glenwood Avenue, asked if there is any chance to sell the lot "as
is ". He asked if anything can be done, or if this public hearing is just a matter of law and if
the proposal meets the requirements, the property can be developed. He asked if any
consideration will be given to the oak trees on the property. Waldhauser explained that the
City asks developers to consider certain things but if a proposal meets all of the City's
requirements it is difficult to deny a subdivision proposal. Eck added that it is in the
developer's best interest to keep as many trees as possible.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
January 10, 2011
Page 3
Mickelson asked what would happen if the developers want to get a variance. Waldhauser
explained that there is a variance process. Since this proposal deals with new construction
she doesn't think there would be any basis to grant any variances.
Mickelson noted that the hearing notice he received said the existing house would remain.
Hogeboom reiterated that the applicant's proposal changed after the hearing notices were
already mailed. He explained that an updated hearing notice will be mailed prior to the City
Council hearing on this proposal.
Waldhauser asked the applicant if the trees on the site have been identified. Campion said
the trees have been identified but he is not sure at this point which ones will be removed.
He reiterated that the trees are valuable to the lot and they want to keep as many as
possible. Schmidgall referred to the tree preservation ordinance which requires the
replacement of trees if they're removed. Grimes discussed the tree preservation process
and noted that a significant number of tress will be preserved, in this case. He stated that
he realizes this type of proposal is frustrating for neighbors because they are invited to a
public hearing for an item that is basically administrative because it meets all of the City's
requirements. Waldhauser agreed and added that it is good, for the developer and City to
know the neighbor's concerns.
Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public
hearing.
Schmidgall said he is not comfortable leaving the existing home out of conformance once
the subdivision is approved. Cera said the Planning Commission needs to consider this
subdivision as if the house and garage are being removed and the City Council can put
further conditions on their approval if they wish. He said he wanted it noted that the
hearing notice that was mailed for this item is not what the Planning Commission
discussed because the notice said the house is going to remain when it is not. Segelbaum
said he likes the new proposal because better homes will be built on both lots. Eck added
that there is no legal basis to deny this request.
Waldhauser suggested a condition be added that states prior to final plat approval, all
existing structures shall be removed.
MOVED by Schmidgall, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the proposed minor subdivision at 240 Jersey Avenue North subject to
following conditions:
1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final
plat.
2. The City Engineer's memo, dated December 29, 2010, will become part of this approval.
3. A park dedication fee in the amount of $1,400 shall be paid by the applicant prior to final
plat approval.
4. A Subdivision Agreement will be drafted for review and approval by the City Council that
will include issues found in the City Engineer's memo dated December 29, 2010.
5. All applicable City permits must be obtained prior to the development of the new lots.
6. Prior to final plat approval, all existing structures shall be removed.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Minor Subdivision of Property at 240 Jersey Avenue
North — Curt Fretham, Lakewest Maki, LLC., Applicant
Summary of Request
Curt Fretham, Lakewest Maki, LLC., is proposing to subdivide the property located at 240
Jersey Avenue North into two separate lots. The existing home at 240 Jersey Avenue will
remain in place on the newly created northernmost lot. The existing detached garage will be
removed.
City Code requires that each new lot meet the required 10,000 square foot minimum lot size
standard set forth by the Zoning Code. For this proposal, the northern -most lot would consist of
11,572 square feet of land and the southern -most lot would consist of 10,376 square feet of
land. City code also requires that at least 80 feet of width exists at the front setback line of any
newly established lot. In addition, both proposed properties exceed City requirements. Setback
boundaries (building envelopes) of the proposed lots would allow generous -sized homes to be
constructed without variances.
Qualification as a Minor Subdivision
The proposed two lot subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision because the property located
at 240 Jersey Avenue North is part of a recorded plat. In addition, this proposed subdivision
will produce fewer than four lots and will not create need for public improvements (such as
street construction.) The applicant has submitted the required information to the City that
allows for the request to be evaluated as a minor subdivision.
Staff Review
Staff has evaluated this lot subdivision request as a minor subdivision. As previously indicated,
this request creates two lots that each exceeds the minimum lot requirements in the R -1 Single
Family Residential Zoning District.
The applicant has submitted a survey for the affected property following subdivision. The
survey includes setback boundaries and lot layout following lot division. This document
provides the City with information necessary to evaluate the minor subdivision. The document
indicates the preservation of the existing home.
City Engineer Jeff Oliver, PE, has submitted a memorandum dated December 29, 2010
regarding recommendations from the Public Works Department concerning this request.
Requirements set forth in Mr. Oliver's memo are to be included in the recommended action of
this subdivision.
Qualification Governing Approval as a Minor Subdivision
According to Section 12.50 of the City's Subdivision Regulations, the following are the
regulations governing approval of minor subdivisions with staff comment related to this
request:
1. Minor subdivisions shall be denied if the proposed lots do not meet the requirements of
the appropriate zonin district. Both proposed lots will meet the requirements set forth
by the R1 Single Family Residential Zoning District.
2. A minor subdivision may be denied if the City Engineer determines that the lots are not
buildable. The City Engineer has determined that both proposed lots are buildable.
3. A minor subdivision may be denied if there are no sewer and water connections available
or if it is determined by the City Engineer that an undue strain will be placed on City utility
systems by the addition of the new lots. A developer would be required to submit detailed
plans regarding the proposed sewer and water locations at the time building permits are
applied for. The City Engineer has indicated in his memorandum that the sewer line to the
existing home may be used, upon upgrade to City standards. A new sewer line must be
created for the home on proposed Lot 2.
In addition, it appears that the water service to the existing home on proposed Lot 1 will be
partially located on proposed Lot 2 following subdivision. In order to accommodate this
water service, the City Engineer has recommended that an easement between the lots be
established. This will take place upon approval of the final plat.
4. Approval of the minor subdivision may require the granting of certain easements to the
Cam. The final plat must show all necessary easements as required by the City Engineer
and City ordinances.
5. If public agencies other than the City have jurisdiction of the streets adiacent to the minor
subdivision the agencies will be given the opportunities to comment. No other public
agencies have jurisdiction of the streets adjacent to this site.
6. The City may ask for review of title if required by the City Attorney regarding the dedication
of certain easements. The City Attorney will determine if such a title review is necessary
prior to approval of the final plat.
7. The minor subdivision may be subject to park dedication requirements. A park dedication
fee of $1,400 (1% of estimated land market value) shall be paid by the applicant prior to
final plat approval
2
Recommended Action
The Planning Department recommends approval of the minor subdivision with the conditions
listed below:
1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final
plat.
2. The City Engineer's memo, dated December 29, 2010, will become part of this approval.
3. A park dedication fee in the amount of $1,400 shall be paid by the applicant prior to final
plat approval.
4. A Subdivision Agreement will be drafted for review and approval by the City Council that
will include issues found in the City Engineer's memo dated December 29, 2010.
5. All applicable City permits must be obtained prior to the development of the new lots.

Subject: Review of Minor Subdivision at 240 Jersey Avenue North
Fretham Eleventh Addition
Public Works staff has reviewed the revised plans for the proposed minor subdivision of
property located at 240 Jersey Avenue North. This development has been named
Fretham Eleventh Addition. The revised plans were submitted to the Public Works
Department on February 3, 2011.
The proposed subdivision, which is located immediately south of Glenwood Avenue,
consists of splitting an existing lot into two lots. There is an existing home and garage
on the property that must be will be demolished prior to City Council approval of the final
plat. The property being subdivided was originally subdivided in 1999 and a single -
family home was constructed on the newly created lot at the intersection of Jersey
Avenue and Glenwood Avenue.
Jersey Avenue was reconstructed in 1995 and the special assessment roll for the
project indentified this property for the potential of future subdivision. Because Jersey
Avenue is part of the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) system, the assessment roll
included one levied MSA unit assessment and one deferred MSA unit assessment,
which was paid when the property subdivided in 1999. However, the assessment roll did
not include any deferred special assessments for a third parcel. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the third parcel (Lot 2) be assessed a MSA Street Assessment at
the current rate of $1,437.50 per unit at the time of application for a building permit on
the lot.
The preliminary plat submitted for review must be revised to include a 10 -foot wide
drainage and utility easement on the rear lot lines.
There are existing sanitary sewer and water for the home that currently exists on Lot 1
of the new subdivision. New sewer and water services will be needed to provide service
to Lot 2. These services must be extended from the sanitary sewer and watermain
GADevelopments - PrivateTretham 11th Add \Review 020711.doc
within Jersey Avenue, and must be installed according to City standards and
specifications.
Based upon the information provided by the developer, it appears that the existing water
service to Lot 1 will be partially located on Lot 2 following subdivision. In order to
accommodate this water service, an easement between the lots will be required. The
developer must submit a legal description for this easement to the Public Works
Department and an easement document will be prepared by the City. This easement
must be signed and be ready for recording prior, to forwarding the final plat to the City
Council for approval.
The existing sanitary sewer service for Lot 1 must comply with the Inflow and Infiltration
Ordinance. The home has been inspected and an escrow agreement has been entered
into with the City for the repairs to the sanitary sewer service required for compliance.
The developer must complete the repairs and obtain the required Certificate of
Compliance prior to issuance of permits for the demolition of the existing home and
garage.
The developer will be required to obtain Right -of -Way Management Permits for the work
proposed within the right -of -way for Jersey Avenue. The work includes excavation for
the sanitary sewer and water services, driveway construction, sidewalk modifications,
driveway aprons, and retaining wall modifications.
This development is also subject to the Stormwater Management Ordinance. Therefore,
permits will be required for the demolition of the existing home and garage, and for new
construction on each of the new lots.
This property is within the Sweeney Lake sub - district of the Bassett Creek watershed.
Based upon the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission standards, no, >:
water quality treatment is required. However, the implementation of best management
practices during the demolition of existing structures and building new homes is
required. These best management practices will be included with the City stormwater
permitting discussed above.
The construction of new homes on each lot will also require a Tree Preservation Permit.
Public Works staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision on 240 Jersey
Avenue North subject to the comments and conditions discussed within this review,
which are summarized as follows.
1. An easement between to accommodate existing the water service to Lot 1 be
executed between the two lots. This easement must be ready for recording prior
to approval of the final plat.
2. The developer pay a MSA Street Assessment for Lot 2 at the 2011 rate of
$1,437.50 at the time of application for a building permit.

Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Summary
At the March 3, 2009 City Council meeting, the Council approved the Preliminary PUD Plan
and Preliminary Plat for The Towers at West End PUD No. 107. The Council has approved
three 6 -month extensions since the original Preliminary PUD approval.
The Preliminary PUD Plan and Preliminary Plat provide for the construction of a 4,000+
space parking deck attached to several office buildings that are located in St. Louis Park. Due
to market conditions, Duke is requesting another 6 -month extension for the filing of their
applications for the Final PUD plan and the Final Plat.
At the time of granting an extension, the City Council may add other conditions to the
Preliminary PUD plan approval. At this time, the staff is recommending that additional
conditions be added to the Preliminary PUD approval as follows: 1) Duke shall submit cash
deposits as requested by the City to cover legal and engineering costs incurred by the City
for consideration of the Preliminary Plan; 2) Duke will be financially responsible for road
construction under TH 100 and intersection improvements on the east side of TH 100 and
traffic calming along the frontage road east of TH 100, to occur at the time building permits
are applied for by Duke; and 3) Duke shall cooperate with the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES) in the construction of the 1 -GV -461 Reliever project. The
Reliever project is required to be constructed by MCES to increase sanitary sewer capacity to
serve Duke's West End development and other future development in the certain parts of
Golden Valley and St. Louis Park. The cooperation may include the dedication of property or
easements for the construction of a lift station, force main, air relief, or gravity lines as
outlined in the MCES plans for 1 -GV -461. If the City or MCES does not determine that there
has been adequate cooperation from Duke, the City retains the right to place additional
conditions on future extensions to the Preliminary PUD Plan or the Final PUD Plan.
