November 9, 2010
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Hennepin County, Minnesota, was
held at 7800 Golden Valley Road in said City on November 9, 2010 at 8:25 pm, in the
Council Conference Room.
The following members were present: Chair Paula Pentel and Commissioners Mike
Freiberg, Linda Loomis, DeDe Scanlon and Robert Shaffer. Also present were HRA
Director Thomas Burt, Assistant HRA Director Jeanne Andre, Finance Director Sue Virnig,
Public Works Director Jeannine Clancy, Assistant City Manager Chantell Krauss and City
Planner Joe Hogeboom.
Review of Three•Nine•Four Development Proposals
Director Burt presented two new plans for the development of the Minnesota Department
of Transportation parcel at I-394 and Highway 100 that incorporate the adjacent residential
apartment parcel. He noted that staff would like feedback on whether the Commissioners
would like to work with the developer on either of these plans or instead work with MnDOT
to temporarily use the parcel for construction staging for the proposed pavement
management and Sanitary sewer projects.
The Commissioners discussed what they liked and disliked about the project and
suggested that they preferred Option 27, with a pond. They suggested modifications they
would like to see, including reducing the height of the apartments on the north side
(adjacent to the single family residences), no fire access at the east end, improved access
around the buildings, and detailed evaluation of the parking needs. They would consider
increasing the apartment unit density of the southerly building and would like the
Engineering Department to evaluate the best orientation for the drive off of Circle Down.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:46 pm.
