Regular Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 A regular meeting of the Planning Commission was held at the Golden Valley City Hall, Council Chambers, 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota, on Monday, March 11, 2Q13. Chair Waldhauser called the meeting to arder at 6:30 pm. Those present were Planning Commissioners Cera, Kluchka, McCarty, Segelbaum and Waldhauser. Also present were Director of Planning and Development Mark Grimes, City Planner Joe Hogeboom and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. 1. Approval of Minutes February 11, 2013 Regular Planning Commission Meeting MOVED by Segelbaum, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to approve the February 11, 2013 minutes as submitted. 2. Informal Public Hearing — General Land Use Plan Map Amendment— 9300 and 9310 Golden Valley Road — CPAM-53 Applicant; City of Golden Valley Addresses: 9300 & 9310 Golden Valley Road Purpose: To change the designation on the General Land Use Plan Map from Commercial-Office to High Density Residential 3. Informal Public Hearing — Property Rezoning — 9300 and 9310 Golden Valley Road —Z022-02 Applicant: J-HAP, Inc. Addresses: 9300 & 9310 Golden Valley Road Purpose: To rezone the properties from Business and Professional Offices to R-4 High Density Residential Items 2 and 3 were discussed together. Hogeboom explained that Jewish Housing and Programming (J-HAP) is proposing to develop a facility that provides housing and services to developmentally disabled adults. He referred to a site plan of the properties located at 9300 and 9310 Golden Valley and stated that they are currently designated Commercial-Office on the General Land Use Plan map and zoned Business and Professional Offices on the Zoning Map. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 2 He noted that site plans have not yet been created and that various requirements of funding partners are necessitating the land use and zoning changes at this time. Hogeboom referred to the recently approved Renewal and Renovation District in this area and explained that part of that plan includes the addition of sidewalks and street lighting. Segelbaum asked if the applicant has a purchase agreement with the current owner of the properties. Hogeboom said yes and added that the current owner also signed the rezoning application. Cera expressed concern about the parcel to the west of this proposal being left an island. He asked if there are any plans for redeveloping that parcel. Hogeboom said it is his understanding that the property owner is unwilling to sell the property at this time. He noted that it is guided and zoned for office use. Waldhauser referred to the language in the R-4 zoning district and questioned why "residential facilities" are allowed as a conditional use but multiple family and senior housing are permitted uses. Hogeboom stated that residential facilities are more of an institutional use and have a different level of care. Grimes added that residential facilities also require a license by the State. Marvin Liszt, Attorney representing J-HAP, noted that the property owner was in attendance and reiterated that she has signed the rezoning application. He stated that J- HAP has a purchase agreement with the property owner and one of the contingencies of the purchase is the rezoning of the property. Grimes added that that J-HAP is also going through the process of applying for Community Development Block Grant funds as well. Segelbaum asked the applicant how far along they are in their fund raising process. Jennifer Lewin, Executive Director, J-HAP, stated that they have applied for several government funding sources and they will be launching a capital campaign once the site is secured. McCarty asked about the timeframe of the project. Lewin stated that the funding cycle is 2013 and they hope to break ground in 2014 with occupancy in 2015. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public hearing. MOVED by Cera, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of amending the General Land Use Plan Map from Commercial-Office to High Density Residential for the properties at 9300 & 9310 Golden Valley Road. MOVED by Cera, seconded by McCarty and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of rezoning the properties at 9300 & 9310 Golden Valley Road from Business and Professional Offices to R-4 High Density Residential. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 3 4. Informal Public Hearing — Final Plan Review— Planned Unit Development (PUD) — Saturn Addition PUD #63, Amendment#2 Applicant: Penske Automotive Group/UAG Minneapolis B1, LLC Address: 701 Louisiana Avenue South Purpose: To allow for the construction of a Motorwerks MINI Cooper auto dealership. Hogeboom stated that the Preliminary PUD plan for this proposal was approved by the City Council in February and now the applicant is starting the Final PUD approval process. He referred to a site plan and some photos and gave a history of the current PUD. He explained that this property is currently divided into four lots and that this proposal will consolidate the property into three lots. The proposed new MINI Cooper building will be approximately 29,500 square feet in size and will replace the current Oldsmobile building. He discussed the changes made to the proposal since it received preliminary approval including the addition of a bike rack on the northeast corner of the site, increased landscaping and the inclusion of a snow removal plan. He added that the applicant has not increased the amount of pervious surFace since their last plan submittal however there will be no additional impervious surface on the site as a result of this proposal. He referred to the Planning Commission's discussion about pedestrian access on the site and stated that because of safety concerns, staff does not support having a sidewalk through the center of the property. Kluchka referred to the City Council's discussion about snow removal and asked Hogeboom if it is his understanding that snow can only be stored in certain locations or if it has to be removed from the site. Hogeboom stated that the applicant had been storing snow in a right-of-way area so the Council asked that they submit a snow removal showing that snow could be stored on their property. If not, then snow would need to be removed. Segelbaum referred to the proposed visual and landscape enhancements and asked if there are elevations that show the north facade. Hogeboom stated that the building is a corporate design so the applicants have limited ability to change it. Kluchka said he would like to see vertical enhancements and some articutation. Hogeboom noted that the requirements regarding articulation only apply to residential properties. McCarty questioned the guidelines for articulation in the Mixed Use zoning district. Hogeboom stated that articulation is a general goal in the Mixed Use zoning district, but is not a requirement. Nolan Redding, Penske Automotive, introduced John Corley, Architect for the project. Corley showed the Commission proposed elevations of the building. He stated that most of the building is black however they've added some visual interest to the walls with large graphics/pictures showing the latest car models. He referred to the north facade and stated that they've added lighter-colored columns, wainscoting and windows to help break up the expanse of the wall. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 4 Waldhauser asked about the roof material. Corley said it will be a black, flat roof. Waldhauser asked if a lighter colored roof or a green roof had been considered since there is so little pervious surFace on the site. Redding said they did consider a green roof but there are poor soils and the roof would not support the weight without significant additional expense. He said they would consider having a lighter calored roof. Segelbaum asked the applicant if they have successfully used the graphics idea in other locations. Corley said yes, they have been used successfully. He showed the Commission some photos of other dealerships where they have been used and explained that they area made out of a fabric material that are easy to change and replace. Grimes said the graphics proposal would have to be reviewed by the sign code administrator because he doesn't think the City has seen this type of proposal in the past. Redding noted that other cities have limited the graphics to photos only, with no words allowed. He reiterated that the intent of the graphics is to break up the facade of the wall. Corley added that the proposed trees would also help break up the north facade. McCarty noted that the wainscoting and columns look like they are a lighter gray color in the renderings than in the samples shown. The Commission agreed that they liked the lighter gray color for the columns and wainscoting. Waldhauser questioned why permeable pavers are only being proposed in the medians. Redding stated that snow and ice is harder to clean off of pervious pavers and they would not work in the driving areas. They also require more maintenance. Waldhauser said she understands the opposite; that pervious pavers drain better and dry quicker so it is easier to keep snow and ice off of them. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Tom Londo, 6901 Laurel Avenue, said he has been seeing a lot of problems in the area in the past year with theft, drug dealers and trucks with drivers sleeping in them. He said this proposal would be great for his business and for the aesthetics in the area and would be an asset to the community. Segelbaum asked Londo if he has concerns regarding parking for his business. Londo said they've been compromising with him and added that it is not his land that he would be losing. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment Waldhauser closed the public hearing. Kluchka said he thinks the elevations have changed significantly, which was his primary concern. McCarty said his only concern is the color of the wainscoting and columns. He wants them to be a lighter gray color. Cera said he would like to see more pervious surface. Segelbaum said he is pleased with how the applicant has addressed the Commission's concerns. He said he also agrees with Londo that this would be a good thing for the property. Cera suggested adding a condition of approval which states that the applicant should use as light a gray as possible for the columns and wainscoting to allow for significant Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 5 contrast. Waldhauser said she wauld also like language added about consideration of a lighter roof color. MOVED by Cera, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of PUD #63, Amendment#2 subject to the following findings and conditions: Findin s: 1. The PUD plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of the site and achieves a higher quality of site planning and design than generally expected under conventional provisions of the ordinance. 2. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of the site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands and open waters. 3. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of the land. 4. The PUD Plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals. 5. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. 6. The PUD plan meets the PUD Intent and Purpose provision and all other PUD ordinance provisions. Conditions: 1.

This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws with authority over this development. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 6 5. Informal Public Hearing — Minor Subdivision — 228 Meander Road — Meander Woods — SU12-13 Applicant: Matt Pavek Addresses: 228 Meander Raad Purpose: The proposed subdivision would reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new single family residential lots. Grimes referred to a location map of the property and explained that it is 1.32 acres in size. The applicant is proposing to divide the property into finro lots, both of which exceed the minimum standards required in the City Code. Lot 1 would be 20,771 square feet in size and Lot 2 would be 37,375 square feet in size. He explained that this property and the property to the northwest were once part of the Perpich Center PUD. However in 2008, the State of Minnesota sold the properties and removed them from the PUD. Waldhauser asked why Lot 1 narrows toward the rear yard. Grimes stated that the lot narrows slightly in the rear yard however it is still approximately 70 feet in width at the rear of the Iot. He reiterated that both lots exceed all of the requirements. Segelbaum asked if the location of the homes shown on the drawing is where they will be constructed or if it is just an example of where they might be located. Grimes explained that the drawing is an example showing that the homes will meet the setback requirements. Segelbaum asked if this proposal will come back to the Planning Commission for further review. Grimes said no and added that the Preliminary Plat and the Final Plat will go to the City Council for review. Peter Knaeble, representing the applicant, stated that the proposal is fairly straightforward and noted that the lots are twice as big as City Code requires. He referred to Waldhauser's question about Lot 1 tapering in the back and explained that tapering Lot 1 gave Lot 2 more space which is needed because of an easement for the power lines. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Waldhauser closed the public hearing. MOVED by Cera, seconded by Kluchka and motion carried unanimously to recommend approval of a Minor Subdivision to divide the property at 228 Meander Road into two single family residential lots subject to the following conditions: 1. The City Attorney will determine if a title review is necessary prior to approval of the final plat. 2. A park dedication fee determined by the City Council shall be paid before final plat approval. 3. The City Engineer's memorandum, dated March 4, 2013 shall beeome part of this approval. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 7 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 memorandum. 5. All applicable City permits shall be obtained prior to the development of the new lots. 6. Informal Public Hearing — Final Plan Review— Planned Unit Development (PUD) — The 3.9.4 Apartments — PUD #112 Applicant: Global One Golden Valley, LLC Address: Northwest Corner of I-394 and Highway 100 Purpose: To allow for the construction of a 6-story, 314 unit, market rate apartment building and a 6-story, 120 unit, senior living building. Hogeboom stated that the Preliminary PUD plan for this proposal was approved by the City Council in December and the applicants are now starting the Final PUD approval process. He referred to a location map of the properties and explained the applicant's proposal to construct finro buildings on the 7.47 acre site. One of the buildings will be a six-story, 314-unit, market rate apartment building and the other will be a six-story, 120- unit senior assisted living building. Hogeboom referred to a site plan of the proposed project and discussed the changes made to the plans since the Preliminary plan review. The driveway entrance on Circle Down has been shifted to the west in order to line up with garages, rather than the homes to the north and to be further away from the home to east, the access drive on the northern portion of the site has been eliminated to move internal traffic further away from the northern property line, the garage entry has been reconfigured to add an additional entrance and to help distribute the site traffic and the proposed east building has been redesigned with articulated corners to move the building further away from the north/northeast property line. Waldhauser asked if any portion of the proposed buildings will be six stories in height within the area that allows only three stories in height according to the Mixed Use zoning district requirements. Hogeboom stated that a small portion of the buildings would overlap into the three-story area. Grimes added that the underlying Mixed Use zoning district is used as a guide, however that is irrelevant in this case because it is a PUD and can be approved as is. Waldhauser asked about the alley access referred to the staff reports. Hogeboom stated that there is an existing publicly deeded alley to be used as a second access to the site. Segelbaum asked who is responsible for maintaining the alley access. Hogeboom explained that the developer will enter into a development agreement with the City which will address maintenance issues. Kluchka referred to the walkway shown on the far eastern end of the property and asked if it would be owned by the City or by the developer. Hogeboom explained that that Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 8 property is awned by MnDOT. Grimes added that MnDOT would also have to approve that proposed walkway. Segelbaum asked about the scope of the Planning Commission's review since the Preliminary Plans have already been approved. Hogeboom stated that the scope of the Planning Commission's review is to decide if the Final PUD proposal is consistent with the approved Preliminary PUD proposal. Grimes added that the Planning Commission and the City Council have asked for significant changes to the plans which the applicant has made. Kluchka said he thinks it is important to note the differences in what the Mixed Use zoning District would allow without a PUD. He said it is significant that a portion of the proposed buildings that are six stories tall are crossing into a space that has historically allowed three stories. Segelbaum noted that the plans as shown are what the City Council have already adopted. Waldhauser noted that the entire building has been moved further to the south as requested of the applicant. McCarty referred to the articulation of the northeast corner of the building and asked if that caused a reduction in the number of units. Gary Tushie, Architect for the project, stated that they originally had 318 units and now they have 314 units. Mark Globus, Global One Commercial, Applicant, reiterated that they have made a number of changes since their Preliminary Plan approval. He stated that they have submitted a snow storage plan and asked staff if they are comfortable with the plan. Hogeboom explained that the applicant has demonstrated where snow will be stored and the City Council will decide during their review if it is acceptable. Waldhauser asked for further explanation of the retaining walls, landscaping and fencing along the north property line. Tushie showed the Commission a rendering of what the landscaping, fencing and retaining walls will look like in various places along the north property line. Waldhauser asked if water will collect in the depressed areas along the north property line. Cera asked if snow would melt and drain onto the properties to the north. Tushie explained how the drainage system will work by carrying the water from the north to the east and the south. John Bender, MFRA, Engineer for the project explained that the bulk of the water on the site will be drain to an underground storage facility and some will be treated in the ponds and will connect to the City's storm sewer system. Cera questioned what would prevent too much water from going to the west. Bender explained how half of the site will go the storm sewer system to the west and half will go to the south to the MnDOT system. He added that they were required to show in their plans that their discharge is equal to or less than current conditions. Grimes noted that the City Engineer has reviewed the plans and that the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission will also review the plans. Kluchka asked the applicant if they brought samples of the exterior building materials. Tushie said no and explained that the renderings shown in the plans are fairly close to how the materials will look. Kluchka suggested the applicant bring material samples when they go to the City Council for review. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 9 Cera asked to hear more about the changes made to the plans since the last time the Commission reviewed them. Tushie stated that all of the changes the Planning Commission recommended last time have been made and that the plans before the Commission this time are almost identical to what the City Council approved. Cera asked the applicant if he has had any further discussions with the neighbars. Globus said he hasn't had any further discussions with the neighbors but he would be happy to. Waldhauser opened the public hearing. David Webb, 5410 Wayzata Blvd, said he has a number of objections and concerns about the proposal. He said he doesn't believe the proposal is a complete application and thus cannot be considered for approval as a PUD. He referred to the PUD section of the City Code and stated that the applicant hasn't provided an analysis of the number of cars that will use the alley. He stated that this property is non-conforming and there is confusion between the requirements in the Mixed Use zoning district versus the requirements in the PUD section of the City Code. He referred to a letter that developers received from the City in 2008 indicating that a mixed-use development would have to be developed on the site. He said he has concerns about the increase in traffic and said that labeling the alley a secondary access is arbitrary because it will become a primary access which won't meet any of the City's right-of-way requirements. He said there is significant pedestrian access and delivery truck traffic currently in the alley and he is concerned about safety. He referred to the language in the PUD section of the City Code and said this project has numerous violations of that chapter and he rejects staff saying that this proposed use is compatible because since this project's inception it has been an attempt to fit a square peg in a round hole. He said he wants to keep the integrity of the Circle Down neighborhood and asked that the Planning Commission not allow this proposal to proceed. Segelbaum asked Mr. Webb if his main concern was the alley becoming a primary access route. Webb said his concern is beyond traffic on his property because there is a lot of pedestrian traffic in the alley area and someone could get hurt. He also stated that delivery vehicles to his property use the ally when unloading. He added that when the City reconstructed the streets in the area the traffic was a mess. Waldhauser questioned if a speed bump at the start of the alley access would help. Kluchka stated that traffic engineers have said speed bumps don't work but it sounds like there is a pedestrian safety issue that needs to be considered. Waldhauser asked Mr. Webb if he has offered any alternative proposals. Webb said he can't because Mr. Globus is the designated developer. He stated that the letter from the City to developers in 2008 said any development would have to conform to the Mixed Use zoning district which probably hindered many developers from coming forward. Grimes disagreed and said he has told many developers that the site would more than likely need to be developed using the PUD process. Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 10 Doug Wageman, 5400 Circle Down, said he is not opposed to the development per se but he thinks it is pretty big. He said he doesn't think the access should be on Circle Down and asked if the City has looked into using eminent domain to provide access to the west of the site instead of the proposed access on Circle Down. He said there is an obvious "Hatfield and McCoy thing" between the applicant and Mr. Webb but the City has to be neutral and make it work. Laura Itman, 5300 Cirlce Down, said at the last Planning Commission meeting the proposed traffic was compared to the traffic that currently exists on Regent however Regent connects to Duluth which is a major street unlike Circle Down. A project of this size coming out on to Circle Down is a whole different issue and 3,000 cars should not come out on a street that isn't a major street. John Sonsalla, 5301 Circle Down, said Circle Down cannot handle this amount of traffic. He said there are times now when it is hard for two cars to pass each other because it is too narrow and with more traffic there will be more problems. He said it is going to be noisy and he will see light from the road and the parking lot and people will be walking across his yard. He asked what types of trees the applicant will be planting and if they will give the homeowners on Circle Down additional insulation or new windows. He said a six- story building is ridiculous and he will have no sun in his house until 11 am or noon in the winter time. He referred to the power lines on the property and asked if they will be relocated or buried and who would have to pay to bury the power lines. He said he is also concerned about damage to houses from additional truck traffic and the use of pilings and he hopes there is a bond issued or the homeowners in the area are covered as additional insureds on the contractors insurance. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to speak, Waldhauser closed the public hearing. Kluchka asked if the traffic study included the alley. Grimes said that a large majority of the traffic will use Circle Down as the primary access however the City cannot stop people from using the alley. He agreed that consideration needs to be given to improved pedestrian safety in the alley. Waldhauser asked if the right-of-way or alley could be shifted to the north. Grimes said it is his understanding that the developer attempted to negotiate with Mr. Webb but it was unsuccessful. Kluchka questioned if the Planning Commission should add a condition of approval regarding pedestrian safety in the alley. Grimes said that the Public Works staff will decide what precautions are necessary and the City will work with Mr. Webb on his safety concerns because the City also wants it to work well. Segelbaum asked why the traffic study didn't include the alley. Grimes stated that it is assumed that some of the traffic will use the alley. He said he can't address the traffic engineering. However this is one of the most studied areas and staff is convinced that the traffic will work to a satisfactory level. McCarty added that the total traffic count of 2,229 cars is the total number of trips when the reality is that would likely not happen all at once given the average vacancy rates, the timing of the trips, etc. He said he thinks it might not be as big of an impact as people think. Grimes agreed and stated that the 2,229 trips will Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 11 be over the course of a 16 hour day. There will likely be more traffic during peak hours but everyone isn't coming or leaving at the same time. He said he agrees that there will be a lot more traffic on Circle Down, but the street has the capacity to handle it. He reiterated that staff feels confident with the traffic study that has been done. Waldhauser asked about the comment regarding Circle Down being too narrow. Grimes stated that narrower streets actually calm traffic. Kluchka referred to the concerns about the project not meeting the requirements of the Mixed Use zoning district and said it is his understanding that although the underlying zoning district is a good guide it isn't necessarily taken into consideration when reviewing a PUD. Waldhauser added that when the I-394 Corridor Study was done they were optimistic that the City would get mixed use developments but it hasn't and the times and markets change. Grimes agreed and added that this particular site is a difficult site to develop. Kluchka asked the developer how fences, trees, noise and light will be addressed at the entrance. Globus said they have spent a great deal of time on the entrance. They've added a pond as a buffer to the residence next to the entrance, they've angled the driveway so headlights would shine on the garages and not the houses and there will be a solid fence along the north property line that will help eliminate light and noise. He added that a high level of sound from I-394 already exists in this area and it is not an extremely quiet area as it sits today. Grimes asked Globus if he would be willing to work with the neighboring property owners regarding their landscaping preferences. Globus said yes he would be willing to work with the neighbors. Kluchka referred to the neighbor's questions about burying the power lines and suggested a condition of approval that states the developer will show reasonable effort to work with Xcel on burying power lines and assume the cost of the burying of their power lines and the neighbors. Segelbaum said he would be more comfortable saying that the landscaping plans have to accommodate the power lines. Cera agreed that the gaal is to provide maximum screening whether that includes burying the power lines or not. Tushie said he is assuming that Xcel will bury the power lines when they bring in a transformer for their project. Waldhauser said the cost of buying the homeowner's power lines falls on the homeowner. Tushie said he believes that is an Xcel Energy issue. Segelbaum said he thinks the applicant should discuss the issue with Xcel. Gera suggested the applicant also talk to Xcel about the homeowner's power lines and who is responsible for paying to have them buried. Kluchka suggested another condition of approval that states that safety features in the alley will be incorporated into the plan. Cera said he wants a condition of approval added requiring increased discussions with the neighbors before construction starts. Kluchka referred to the neighbor's questions about construction insurance in case of damage. Globus stated that they are putting a plan together for the City to review that will Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 11, 2013 Page 12 deal with any type of vibration issues. Cera noted that this area was impacted by the construction of I-394 so residents are sensitive to that issue. He added that since there are some issues with the neighboring property owners it would be a good idea for the applicant to have some sort of public campaign with the neighbors to educate them on the issues and to keep talking to the neighbors. Grimes stated that the contractor will have a communications plan for the neighbors during construction. Cera said he would like there to be another public meeting with the neighbors. Segelbaum said he thinks this is a reasonable proposal. Cera said he thinks the applicant has made all of the changes he can. Kluchka agreed. Waldhauser said this is an important site in Golden Valley and it is nice to see something positive. She said she also wants to preserve existing areas as well and additional residents in the area will help support the larger area. Waldhauser asked about a lighting plan. Grimes said they have submitted a lighting plan that follows the City's lighting ordinance.

The city manager approved assigning a patrol officer to a traffic enforcement/education position for the first half of 2013. if the efforts in this area prove to be worthwhile and successful, the city manager has indicated he will approve the hiring of another police officer. Chief Carlson also advised new pension fund penalties are being discussed, and would become effective on 07/01/14 if approved. The police department currently has 1-4 employees who could retire prior to those penalties being enforced. Those potential retirements would likely result in promotions and the hiring of additional officers.

The board agreed to meet later this year to grant approval for this process. Chief's Report Chief Carlson advised staffing in 2013 remained solid. She advised overall crime has increased, especially in the areas of residential burglaries and theft from autos. Officers have captured a number of in-progress burglars, which is not very common. Night shift officers continue to notify residents of open garage doors during the overnight hours in effort to reduce burglaries and thefts. Chief Carlson stated the department hosted many community events in 2012 including: Police & Fire in the Parks, Night to Unite, Police & Fire Open House, Citizen's Academy, Bike-alongs and a Use of Force Seminar.

Approval of Minutes — Januarv 28, 2013 MOTION: MOVED by Steinberg and seconded by Bergman to approve the January 28 meeting minutes. Motion carried unanimously. 4. Greetings from Mavor Harris Harris began by thanking the Commission for their service and time. With the new city survey coming out this year, Harris asked the Commission to think big and creatively for suggestions and ideas to recommend to the Council to take the community to a new level with programs and services. In an effort to think creatively, he asked the Commission to try not to be so concerned with funding while coming up with recommendations, leaving the funding questions to the Council. He also recommended a resident that expressed interest in participating in a community group sub-committee to do community outreach and provide recommendations to the Open Space and Recreation Commission. Sandler said he'd like to discuss the opportunity with the Commission and requested their contact information. Clausen said she appreciates that the Commission is open to the idea. Sandler said it helps to get new and fresh input and ideas. 5. Golden Vallev Phoenix Soccer Update — Jim Fitzsimmons Fitzsimmons intraduced himself and stated he's been with the club for 5 years, 3 of which he's been President. Fitzsimmons said the demand from parents for a more competitive travel program has increased. In an effort to do so, the club has begun phasing out parent coaches and bringing in paid coaches for the kids in the competitive soccer program. There are currently 600+ families involved in the competitive program, which includes 27 teams ranging from U9-U17. There are 15 girls teams and 12 boys teams. Minutes of the Golden Valley Open Space and Recreation Commission March 18, 2013 Page 2 Fitzsimmons said the recreational program has about 280 kids, with 30 teams ranging from ages 5-10. He said this program still has parent coaches. Fitzsimmons said their goal is to keep costs down. Compared to surrounding communities, Phoenix Soccer fees are less. He said they also offer financial assistance. Fitzsimmons said the different age groups require different size fields and it can be a lot for one community to accommodate. He said they really enjoy the field space in Golden Valley but they are in need of more practice space. He's been working with surrounding communities to accommodate that need. Fitzsimmons said the club is getting participants from Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, St. Louis Park and Minneapolis. Steinberg asked about the evening summer Park and Recreation programs and Phoenix Soccer being on some of the same evenings. He wanted to know if there was going to be some collaboration between the two for better scheduling. Jacobson said it's difficult to avoid overlap with all the other association's schedules with the fields they have at their disposal. Fitzsimmons added they are doing the best they can with scheduling around all other community activities. The nights that were chosen were based on the consensus of what worked best for mast of the families that participate in the soccer club. It was asked at what age the competitive league begins. Fitzsimmons said competitive starts with U9 and goes up to U17. Mattison asked if Phoenix feels the need for another full size field. Fitzsimmons said yes, they are using a field in Robbinsdale. Mattison suggested Sandburg fields as a possibility. Fitzsimmons expressed interest in a Golden Valley athletic dome. He said a number of surrounding communities have domes that are busy. Fitzsimmons encouraged the Commission to visit their website at www.qvphoenixsoccer.orq. 6. Citv Survev Park Questions Review Jacobson said Cheryl Weiler is looking for input from the Commission for topics for the city survey. Copies of the Park and Recreation portion of the 2006 city survey were distributed and discussed. After discussion, Jacobson asked the Commission to submit their input and ideas to Van Sloun. Minutes of the Golden Valley Open Space and Recreation Commission March 18, 2013 Page 3 7. OSRC Work Plan Sandler said Mayor Harris has challenged the Commissions to be more pro-active with work plan goals. Sandler said he would like to discuss new thoughts and ideas for programs throughout the year. Discussion then focused on topics and suggestions. Sandler encouraged the Commission to continue to share their ideas. 8, Updates Jacobson reminded the Commission that Run the Valley is on Saturday, April 13 beginning and ending at Brookview Community Center. Jacobson informed the Commission that Brookview Golf received one proposal for a food and beverage contract. He said the proposal did not meet the needs of the golf course and community center and that they did not accept the proposal. 9.

G. Establish Permanent No Parking Zones at the East Driveway to 8145 Lewis Road Prepared By Jeannine Ctancy, Director of Public Works Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer Mark Ray, PE, Street Maintenance Supervisor Summary In the fall of 2012, Parker-Hannifin staff contacted the City with a concern regarding truck access to their facility at 8145 Lewis Road. Parking is currently restricted on the north side of Lewis Road and as a result all the vehicles must park on the south side. On-street parking demand is high and vehicles frequently park as close to driveway entrances as possible. State Statute prohibits parking in front of driveways, but not directly adjacent to them. Semi-truck deliveries to the Parker-Hannifin property loading dock sometimes have a challenge navigating the driveway entrance due to vehicles parked on the street, as indicated by the tire marks in the adjacent boulevards. The proposed parking restrictions on either side of the east driveway entrance (which serves the loading dock) are approximately equivalent in length to one vehicle. Permanently restricting parking to serve one property is not common City practice; however, due to the consistent level of on-street parking and the geometric configuration of Lewis Road, restricting the parking will reduce impacts to the City boulevards, improve truck movement through the area, and reduce the potential for physical contact between vehicles.
