Informal Public Hearing — Planned Unit Development Amendment-- Final Plan — 123 Ottawa Ave. N., Breck School — PU-88 Amendment#1 Applicant: Breck School Address: 123 Ottawa Avenue North Purpose: To allow a portion of the existing two-story building (the upper school) to be demolished and replaced with a new four-story building. Hogeboom explained that the Preliminary Plan for Breck's proposed PUD amendment was approved by the City Council in February. Breck has now submitted their Final PUD proposal for City review which has not changed since the Preliminary Plan approval. He gave an overview of the proposal and explained Breck's request to demolish and replace their Upper School with a four-story building and a mechanical penthouse. He stated that the building will be 70 feet tall at its highest point and that the parking and student enrollment will remain at 1200 as approved by the existing PUQ Permit. Hogeboom stated that Breck has submitted a construction traffic plan which states that construction vehicle traffic is to use Ottawa Avenue only, no construction traffic may enter Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 2 the site from the northeast and construction workers are to enter and exit the site via Lilac Drive. Breck is also proposing ta increase CSO traffic patrol during the peak construction hours. Segelbaum said he knows that the City Council requested that Breck do a construction communication plan and asked if the Council gave Breck any additional guidance. Hogeboom stated that Breck will be creating a Listserv in order to communicate to subscribers bi-weekly starting in June. Breck will also host monthly meetings for neighbors and will notify neighbors of specific work, (including Saturday construction) that may impact them. Segelbaum said he understands Breck is nat proposing to increase their enrollment as part of this proposal and questioned if they would need to go through another PUD amendment process if they want to increase enrallment in the future. Hogeboom stated that Breck's PUD permit allows them to have up to 1,200 students. If they want to increase enrollment over 1,2Q0 students they would need to go through the PUD amendment process. Kisch asked if an increase in enrollment would be a trigger requiring Breck to do a Traffic Demand Management Plan. Hogeboom said yes. He stated that the original PUD approval did not require a traffic plan however it daes require Breck to work with the City regarding traffic issues. He added that the Police Chief feels Breck is currently in compliance with their traffic management practices. Edward Kim, Headmaster at Breck, stated that the proposed project is a renovation of their upper school which is almost 60 years old, He affirmed that they are not seeking an increase in their enrollment. He stated that they have met with the neighborhood to communicate their plans and his hope is that the traffic issues will be addressed through Breck's continues efforts in working with the City. Seg�lbaum asked if there are other phases of renovation planned at this point. Kim stated that the site has never had a master plan. The idea is to have canstruction done in several phases over time. He stated that the other phases are conceptual at this time. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Barb Busick, 4736 Glenwood Avenue, suggested spreading the construction traffic aut by having the morning construction traffic use Ottawa and the afternoon traffic go someplace else. She stated that Ottawa is a short street with 10 children living there so it is full of activity and the traffic scares a lot of the people who live there. She said the communication from Breck has been awesome but she would like to see the notification area increased to include mare people because the whole area is affected by the traffic. She suggested that notification be sent to everyone south of Highway 55, west of Theodore Wirth Parkway, north of I-394 and east of TH 100. Paul Schneck, 122 Burntside Drive, said he is most concerned about how the height of the buildings in all of the phases will affect the neighborhood. He said right now it looks Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 3 like a neighborhood with a school in it but he is warried it will look like a school with a neighborhood in it. He said it sounds to him like this proposal has been going on for years and he just found out abaut it. He is concerned about his view because he will be looking at a 70-faot tall brick building. He said Breck could have done something different and that making the building this tall was a choice. He said he is very concerned that the City doesn't know about all the phases of construction and it doesn't make sense to only consider this phase when we know more phases are coming in the future. He said he needs to know what it is going to look like and how it will change the aesthetics of the neighborhood because right now it fits in with the neighborhood and he is cancerned it won't when it's done. Sheldon Silberman, 120 Westwood Drive North, asked about the watershed requirements and asked how many square feet of additional square footage would trigger Breck needing a watershed permit or approval. Kluchka stated that a 10% increase would trigger watershed approval. Waldhauser noted that the property is extremely limited because of existing wetland conditions so it is unlikely that enaugh building could be put on the property to trigger a wetland review. Silberman said this is a very environmentally sensitive site so he is very worried abaut this proposal going forward without knowing the entire plan. He said another concern he has is the lighting on the property. He said at his elevation he looks down on the schoal and he can see the lighting at Breck very distinctly. In the past, Breck made changes that have helped, but he hopes there won't be an issue with this praposal. He said he is concerned about the sound from the mechanicals on the roof and the reflection from the sun, so reflective surfaces should be taken into account. He is also concerned about the piecemeal planning process and urged the City to be careful of this proposed phase approach. He said he is happy Breck is putting money inta their buildings and improving them and the architectural plans seem to be nicely done. Brandie Karhoff, 18 Ottawa Avenue, said her only concern is traffic. She said there are 10 kids that live in the five or six houses on Ottawa. They do the best they can to keep the kids in the back yard but with the school buses and traffic in the area it is like a freeway with parents and students driving way too fast. She asked if traffic could be restricted with speed bumps or something similar. She added that it is not true that all construction workers will use Lilae Drive because at the neighborhood meeting with Breck they said some of them will park by the tennis courts and will come down Ottawa. Cheryl Scott, 437 Westwood Drive North, said a comprehensive traffic management study needs to be done now. Sh� said two weeks ago a Breck parent hit a school bus and she is concerned that someone is going to get hurt. She referred to the architectural design and said Breck should have considered a different location for the mechanicals other than on the roof. Removing the mechanicals from the roof would get rid of some of the height and make the neighbors happier. She said she is concerned about the other phases of construction and increased enroltment because if Breck is investing this type of money they are going to increase their enrollment. She urged the Planning Commission to think about what this is doing to their neighborhood. Steve Robin, 25 Ottawa, said he thinks Breck is a great neighbor and has been very cooperative. He said he thinks a vital Breck is important to the community but he wants to Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 4 underline the issue of the height of the building. He said the proposed height and square footage are not necessary. Breck chose this design and the end result is a building that is larger and taller than it needs to be. He said Golden Valley High School had plenty of room when they were in this building. He said he doesn't think there is one neighbor in the area who thinks Breck won't increase their enrollment and it is disingenuous for Breck to say they won't because they wouldn't spend all this money and increase the square footage this much if they weren't. He said his main concern is traffic and he doesn't understand why Lilac Drive can't be made usable instead of having construction traffic go up and down Ottawa for 15 months. He said the current habits of Breck parents are out of control. He understands Breck does what they can during rush hours and he's not objecting to the rush hours, but it is a recipe for disaster with kids speeding up and down the street, not stopping for his wife in the crosswalk. He said there are things Breck can be doing to control the traffic and questioned why there hasn't been any traffic abatement. He said he is also wondering why the neighborhood was notified so late and said traffic should have been studied before this proposal and before the problem is magnified. He said the general attitude from Breck has been that they can't control human behavior. Jim Vos, 10 Natchez Avenue North, said he thinks it's important to ask Breck about their future phases of construction. He said Mr. Kim stood before the City Cauncil and said there will be four phases of construction and the enrollment will increase by 25%. He said he worked on the Allianz project and they had to show the City all of their proposed phases of construction so it is not fair to neighborhood to not require Breck to do the same. He said he is also concerned about the height of the new building and agreed that speed bumps could be installed to help with the traffic issues. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment. Waldhauser closed the public hearing. Waldhauser said there is obviously an existing traffic concern with or without this current proposal. She said she thinks the City can speak to the traffic issues only in that they might be aggravated during construction. Kluchka questioned haw the City can put some traffic controls in place given that a master plan has not been reviewed. Kisch stated that the enrotlment and land use issues are tied to the constraints of the PUD permit. He suggested that any future PUD amendments or enrollment increases require a traffic study. Waldhauser said it is her understanding that the existing PUD permit stating that the Police Chief will be monitoring traffic gives the city more control than a traffic management plan would. Grimes stated that the existing PUD permit says if there is a traffic problem Breck has to w�rk on resolving it with the Police Chief. He reiterated that Breck has made efforts to work with the City regarding their issues related to traffic and that the City is dealing the same amount of traffic and the same amount of students as it did before this PUD amendment proposal. He added that the traffic issues will be brought to the Gity's Traffic Safety Committee for review. Kluchka said that the same amount of Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 5 students from 40 years ago is not the same amount cars. He said Breck is a valued part of this neighborhood, but things have changed and there has to be a control in place ta deal with the traffic even though the numbers aren't changing. Segelbaum said it is one thing for the Planning Commission to discuss the traffic issues but he thinks they would be better handled by the Traffic Safety Committee. Oliver explained that approximately eight years ago, the City Council established the Traffic Safety Committee which is made up of representatives from the Public Works and Engineering Department, Police Department, Communications Department, as well as the City's eonsulting traffic engineer. He stated that the comments generated from Breck's Preliminary Plan review have already been sent to the Traffic Committee. The Committee is in the process of defining the issues and gathering data including: turning count movement, traffic volumes and speed. He stated that Breck has indicated that they are very willing to work with City to address the issues and provide solutions. He explained that traffic engineering is not as simple as putting in a sign. It's as much psychology and education as it is engineering and enforcement. There needs to be a balanced appraach to address the issues. He said one key component is going to be what Breck does to educate their parents and students. He said as far as requiring a traffic management plan he thinks that an increase in enrallment could be an appropriate trigger for developing a traffic plan. Waldhauser noted that the neighbors have said that the traffic during peak hours has been managed fairly well so she agrees that behavior and tools that encourage better driving habits need to be considered in this case. Oliver agreed and said that the neighbors have been heard loud and clear and staff is taking a very close look at the long terms traffic issues. Cera asked Oliver about the timeline in gathering data. Oliver said staff has started gathering data and within a couple of months he hopes to have adequate data to s#art meeting with Breck in order to have a number of issues worked out before schoal starts in the falL Schmidgall asked about turning Ottawa into a cul-de-sae and directing traffic into Breck from Lilac Drive. Oliver said that would be complicated due to the fact that a significant portion of the site is within the floodplain of Bassett Creek. Waldhauser asked if directing construction traffic onto Lilac Drive would be an option. Oliver said there is concern about the turning radius on Lilac Drive and there is also concern about the structural capability of Lilac Drive. He said Ottawa is designed to accommodate the truck traffic, and if managed properly, he believes Ottawa is the best option. Segelbaum asked what tools the traffic committee has to address the issues and if speed bumps or stop sign could be considered. Oliver stated that studies have shown that speed bumps do slow cars down, but they also slow down emergeney vehicles. The studies have alsa shown than the faster a person drives over a speed bump, the less impact there is, so speed bumps need to be considered carefully. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 6 Waldhauser suggested adding a condition of approval that there be a traffic study done before school opens in the falt. Segelbaum said the traffic committee is in the process of conducting their study. Kluchka said he is concerned about enforcing the traffic issues and asked if a condition can be put in place to make sure the traffic issues are addressed before constructian begins. Kisch noted that the traffic study is City-driven so Breck won't be able to dictate the timeframe of the study. Cera said he feels there are two different issues. One is the existing trafFic and one is the traffic during construction. He said he is less concerned about the construction traffic because it is temporary. Oliver said he thinks there is language that could be incarparated into the approval requiring Breck to cooperate with the traffic study. Segelbaum asked if Lilac Drive can even be considered as an alternate route. Bake Baker, McGough Construction, explained that they have considered using Lilac Drive for construction traffic but there are several concerns including: the steep turning radius coming off of Glenwood onto Lilac Drive, the grade/steepness on Lilac Drive, the capability and condition of Lilac Drive to accommodate heavy trucks and the internal campus circulation of traffic, buses and canstruction traffic. He stated that they are not intending to have construction traffic during the peak traffic hours at Breck. Kluchka said he thinks it is within the Planning Commission's prevue to be looking for incentives for improving a bad situation before desired investments are made, especially in a PUD. Grimes said he agrees, but some of the investments and improvements might have to be made off of the Breck campus so there has to be cooperative agreement between the City and Breck. Waldhauser asked the applicant to address the design of the building and why the mechanicals are being proposed to be on the roof. James Baird, Architect for the project, said they considered putting the mechanics below grade but there was concern about the soil conditions and undermining the foundation of the adjoining buildings. Waldhauser asked if the mechanicals could go on a different roof. Baird said that because of the nature of the space as science labs the equipment has to be tied to those spaces. Cera asked for clarification regarding the neighbor's comment about what the applicant said to the City Council about their future enrollment. Kim reiterated that in this particular phase they are not asking for a change in enrollment. He said the question before him at the City Council meeting was if enrollment could conceptually change in the future. Cera asked if there is a schedule for decisions regarding future phases. Kim said no. Kluchka referred to the neighbor's concern about lighting. Baird said they are not proposing to light the building externally and they are not going to be changing any of the parking lot lighting. Kim added that part of the usage of the roof will be an astronomy lab, so they also want to keep the lighting down. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission April 9, 2012 Page 7 Kluchka asked abaut filtering the noise from the mechanicals and light from reflective surfaces. Baird said the mechanicals will be screened. He explained that the east side of the building, where most of the houses are located, will consist of mostly solid surfaces so the reflection won't be that different from how it is eurrently. Waldhauser said she is still in the position that the Planning Commission should approve the request with all of the original conditions and added conditions regarding the communication plan and the ongoing work of the Traffic Committee.

Opposition to Constitutional Amendment Question as Photo Identification Required for Voting Prepared By Sue Virnig, Finance Director Summary At the Council/Manager meeting on June 12, Council asked staff ta bring forth a resolution for opposing the Constitutional Amendment Question. This resolution adds the four key facts from the League of Women Voters. The Cities of Minneapalis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park and Blue Earth County have passed a resolution opposing the amendment. Attachments Resolution Opposing Constitutional Amendment Question as Photo Identification Required for Voting (2 pages) Recommended Action Motion to adopt Resolution Opposing Constitutional Amendment Question as Photo Identification Required for Voting. Resolution 12-53 July 3, 2012 Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION OPPOSING CC�NSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT QUESTION AS PHOTO IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED FOR VOTING WHEREAS the proposed constitutional amendment question states "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require all vaters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible votes, effective July 1, 2013" does not give al! the informatian needed for the voter to make an informed decision; and WHEREAS the City of Golden Valley supports the League of Women Voters position that key facts are omitted or obscured by the ballot question such as: the question posed to the voter differs from the language of the actual amendment as to which voters would be required to show identification; and the question on the ballot asks if the voters should show valid ID, but the amendment passed by the Legislature requires that the ID be a government-issued ID; and the question does not state that all voters would need to undergo "substantially equivalent eligibility and verification standards. " This phrase was not clearly defined in the Legislative debate it is uncertain how this would impact same-day registration, absentee voting, and mail-in voting; and the actual amendment wouid put a system of provisional ballots in Minnesata's Constitution. This is not referenced anywhere in the ballot question; and WHEREAS the proposed amendment would introduGe a new and costly election system called provisional voting that could lead to hundreds of thousands of provisional ballats being submitted but not counted on Election Day. These provisional ballots would be processed by local afficials starting the day after the election, delaying the reporting of election results and risking the potential of both widespread disenfranchisement and contested election results if as many provisional ballots go uncounted as in other states; and WHEREAS the proposed amendment would require the nearly 250,000 Minnesatans who now vote by mail, including military and civilian absentee vaters and many township residents, to provide an as yet undefined "proof of identity" before being allowed to cast their vote; and Resolution 12-53 - Continued July 3, 2012 WHEREAS the proposed amendment would block from voting any of the more than 84,000 registered Minnesota voters who currently do not have a State of Minnesota- government issued photographic identificatian card if they cannot obtain one. The proposed amendment allows no exceptions for religious objections, military service, disabilities, age or other provisions, making Minnesota the only state in the nation to propose these new regulations without exemptions; and WHEREAS the proposed amendment would cost more to implement and operate — including the start-up and ongoing costs of the new provisional voting system and expenses related to the new requirements far proof of identity for in-person; and WHEREAS these new costs would fall largely on local taxpayers, resulting in higher property taxes or the elimination of other services; and WHEREAS Minnesota currently leads the nation in election administration and voter participation and Golden Valley exceeds the State percentage of voter turnout; and WHEREAS there are alternatives for the visual verificatian of voters that are much less expensive and would avoid the disenfranchisement and other negative consequences of an inflexible constitutional amendment; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Golden Valley Council opposes the proposed Minnesota constitutional amendment on Voter ID language and supports the vote "no" to the question on November 6, 2012.
