4. PUBL/C HEAR/NG
4A. Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval - Calderjax Addition - 7200 Harold
Avenue
Planning Manager Zimmerman stated the public hearing for items 4A and 4B will be
combined in this discussion, but would be voted on individually. He answered questions from
Council. City Attorney Garry answered questions from Council.
Mayor Harris opened the public hearing.
Mr. Peter Knaeble, Civil Engineer representing both Applicants, stated the applicant at 7200
Harold Avenue has owned the property for 67 years and the other applicant moved in last
year and has done extensive remodeling of their home. He said the properties are currently
zoned R2 and according to the Subdivision Code it would allow for single or twin homes to be
built. He stated the applicants met with the neighborhood and that the neighbors have
submitted a petition in support of these minor subdivisions. He said the proposed custom
designed homes would be in the $450,000 to $500,000 price range and that two families are
already interested in the lots. He referred to the long driveway issue and stated that these
would fit into the tradition of the current neighborhood. He referred to the fire safety concerns
and stated that the homes on the back lots would be required to include a fire suppression
system. He referred to the Police concerns regarding the subdivision and stated he has
looked through past staff reports and that this was the first time he has seen a report on this
issue. He said in their situation the homes would have frontage on Harold and on Highway 55
which could be viewed from the highway. He said that higher density for the area would be a
fine goal if the properties were available and the neighbors supported it, but in this case there
are only two property owners and the neighbors support lower density development. He said
the Council gave them a challenge to come back with a 4-lot development and felt that this
project would meet that. He answered questions from Council.
Unofficial City Council Minutes -3- November 17, 2015
4A. Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval - Calderjax Addition - continued
Mr. Scott Lucas, Attorney representing both applicants, stated the applications should be
approved because they comply with the City Code. He read Section 12:50 Subd. 3(A) of the
Code that stated that the front of each lot should abut entirely on an improved public street
and that the definition of a "Street" in Section 12.03 is a public right-of-way for vehicular traffic
and it does include a highway. He suggested the definition of"right-of-way" is the property set
aside for use as a road whether it is paved or not, and that the Code states the "right-of-way"
of a street is the area between the street curb and lot line. He added that the properties will
not be land locked because an easement agreement will be a matter of the property record.
He offered two emails for the record.
Mr. Larry Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, said he and the neighborhood thinks this would be
the best option for the properties and asked that the City approve it.
Mr. Perry Thom, 320 Louisiana Avenue North, said he would encourage the City to approve
this package. He said he built his home with the understanding that it would be a single
family home in the neighborhood. He stated he preferred two, one-million dollar homes but
felt this is a good project because it keeps the density low in the neighborhood. He said that
he felt this project was consistent with what was approved in the past.
Ms. Claire Alber, 7218 Harold Avenue, said she was displaced due to Eminent Domain for
the Douglas Drive Corridor project. She said she felt this application would be good for her
family, the neighborhood, and the City and would bring new families into the neighborhood.
She asked that the City approve this.
Mayor Harris closed the public hearing.
There was much Council discussion regarding the Preliminary Plat Approval for the Calderjax
Addition located at 7200 Harold Avenue and the Alber Addition located at 7218 Harold
Avenue.
MOTION made by Council Member Snope, seconded by Mayor Harris to deny the
Preliminary Plat for Calderjax Addition, 7200 Harold Avenue, based on the information in the
record and the following findings, upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor of:
Snope, and Harris and the following voted against: Schmidgall and Clausen and the following
abstained: Fonnest, and the motion failed.
Findings:
• Section 12.50, Minor Subdivisions and Consolidations, Subd. 3(A): The front of
each lot shall abut entirely on an improved public street. While Lot 2 is proximate to
Highway 55, it does not satisfy this requirement in Subdivision 3(A) because there is no
possibility that Lot 2 can abut the improved portion of Highway 55.
• Section 12.50, Minor Subdivisions and Consolidations, Subd. 3(I): Approval will be
granted to any application that meets the established conditions. As the proposal
fails to meet Subd. 3(A), it also fails to meet Subd. 3(I) by definition.
Council Member Fonnest stated he had abstained from the vote due to the fact he had
additional questions for the City Attorney. City Attorney Garry answered the questions from
Council. Council Member Fonnest stated due to his oath of office, he could not vote in favor
of this subdivision because it does not satisfy the Code's requirements.

and Municipal consent process, project milestones, and continued design coordination.

be presented at the November 12, 2015, Corridor Management Committee meeting.
The Council consensus was to include the positions outlined in the resolution affirming the
City's position regarding the Metro Blue Line Extension, which will be considered at the
November 4, 2015 City Council meeting.
Undergrounding Ordinance Modifications
Marc Nevinski stated the Council approved on first consideration modifications to the City
Code right-of-way section allowing for the placement of overhead facilities on existing

proposed amendment and is requesting further amendments.
The Council consensus was to place the ordinance amendment on a future Council
meeting agenda for second consideration.
Continued Item - Reconsideration of Winter Parking Ban
Police Chief Stacy Carlson, Physical Development Director Marc Nevinski, and Public
Works Manager Bert Tracy reviewed the history of the 2014 winter parking ban.
After Council discussion, the Council decided to retain the winter parking ban for the 2015-

agenda in May-June, 2016. Staff will track the calls, emails and comments received on
both sides of the issue.

Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
October 13, 2015 — Page 2
would be more difficult to retrofit and cost estimates would need to be provided by outside
vendors. The Council could choose to equip one room but not the other depending upon
the costs.
The Council consensus was to request staff get cost estimates for configuring the Council
Chambers and Council Conference Room to conduct remote meetings, televised and non-
televised, for Council and/or Board/Commission meetings and report back to the Council.
If the Council determines they would like to proceed by allowing remote attendance the
would request staff to draft a policy.
Change Council Meeting Public Hearing Start Time
City Manager Cruikshank reviewed the current order of the agenda and the proposal to
conduct public hearings following approval of the consent agenda instead of waiting until 7
pm.
The Council expressed concern that if there is no set time for public hearings the may not
happen until 9 pm. They suggested that if an item is removed from the consent agenda it
be moved to the new business section of the meeting. Consent agenda approval should
only take a few minutes and if the consent agenda is taking longer the item should be
considered under new business, or public hearings could be conducted prior to the
consent agenda.
The Council acknowledged that the resolution establishing the order of business should
also be corrected as it has changed since previously adopted in 2008.
The Council consensus was to bring the item back to a future Council/Manager meeting
after the election as there may be new members serving on the Council.
Proposed Ordinance Amendment - City Code Section 4.32:Tree and Landscape
Requirements
Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner and Parks Supervisor AI Lundstrom
reviewed the proposed amendments to the Code outlining changes such as reducing the
allowable tree removal, prioritizing mitigation options and the introduction of minimum
landscape standards.
The Council consensus was to proceed with the City Code amendments and if significant
changes are made after discussion at the Environmental and Planning Commissions the
amendments should be brought back to a future Council/Manager meeting.
Schaper Park Challenge Course Grant Partnership Proposal
Parks and Recreation Director Rick Birno reviewed the proposal to partner with the Three
Rivers Park District, The Loppet Foundation and Minnesota NVisconsin Playground to
apply for a Hennepin Council Youth Sports Grant to add a Challenge Course at Schaper

discussed at the next Commission meeting. Birno and Mattison outlined some of the
changes such as moving the play structure to another location in the park, adding a water
station, park benches, and bike corral.
Council/Manager Meeting Minutes
October 13, 2015 — Page 3

Finance Director Sue Virnig stated that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was
reviewed by the Planning Commission in October. She reminded the Council that items
shown in the CIP will be brought back to the Council for approval before purchases are
made. The Council asked several questions, but made no changes. The CIP will be
presented for adoption at the December 1 City Council meeting.
2016 Master Fee Schedule
Finance Director Sue Virnig p�esented a PowerPoint presentation which highlighted the
draft master fee schedule and some of the proposed amendments. The Council discussed
and had questions regarding car seat installation/inspection fees, park dedication fees,
planning fees, street light fees, water and sewer rates, food truck vendor fees, Brookview
Golf fees, park and recreation program fees, and community center fees.
Staff was requested to clarify the fees for car seat inspections. The Council consensus
was that they don't want to charge residents a fee for the installation and/or inspection.
The non-resident fee should be revised to $20.
Council requested that staff review the legalities of waiving food truck vendor fees for non-
profit community groups and/or athletic associations in conjunction with holding events at

Virnig stated that because of its relationship with the Comprehensive Plan the Planning
Commission reviews the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) every year to ensure it meets
the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. She explained that the CIP covers housing,
sanitary and storm sewer, public facilities, transportation, and parks and open space. She
noted that there is a new section in this CIP called the cable casting improvement fund
that used to be included in the building fund, but due to the revenue source of the
franchise fees they are being accounted for in a separate section. She added that there
are monies allocated in 2016 and 2017 for the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update.
Waldhauser asked about the differences between Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Tax
Abatement, and a Pay As You Go Note. Virnig explained they are all financing tools the
City uses. She explained that Tax Abatement was used for General Mill's portion of the
improvements to their building and the tax dollars were allocated to improvements in that
area. She stated that a Pay As You Go Note is the future increment from the increased
value. The taxes may go to paying back the developer for improvements put into the area,
versus issuing bonds.
Segelbaum noted that there was a comment in the CIP related to TIF and bonds that
states the City currently has no tax increment districts with following bonded indebtedness
as of December 31, 2015, but the City does have four tax increment districts. He asked if
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission

Page 2
the three tax increment districts that were approved in 2015 will have tax increment bonds
after a certain period of time. Virnig stated that there are four TIF districts and that the
hello. apartment project will have a bond issued in order to make the public
improvements.
Kluchka asked how the CIP would be impacted if street reconstruction or bonds were
halted or delayed because of the financial crisis mentioned in a past City newsletter.
Virnig stated that Council and Staff look at the impact on the taxpayers. She explained
that in 2008, during the recession, the Pavement Management Program was delayed due
to the impact it would have on the taxpayers. She added that the City bonds for the
improvements done that year. Kluchka asked if this CIP has been affected by the financial
crises. Virnig stated that the CIP looks at the next five years. She added that the
Community Center is not in the CIP yet because there hasn't been a final plan. Kluchka
said he noticed that the only new thing being built was a gazebo and asked if there is
anything else new in the CIP. Virnig stated that a lot of this CIP is for the replacement of
things although there are some new improvements and equipment and a new retaining
wall program.
Waldhauser asked why the expenditures on street replacement step up in 2018. Virnig
stated that the City used to do four miles of street in a year and then will go to two miles
per year so there are about four more years to finish the remainder of the roads.
Segelbaum asked about the expenditures included in the CIP for the Comprehensive
Plan update. Virnig explained that in 2016 the CIP includes $107,000. $40,000 of which is
for a study along Harold Avenue. All projects will be approved by the Council at a later
date.
After discussion, the consensus of the Planning Commission was that the 2016-2020
Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Applicant: Fred and Vicki Gross
Addresses: 7200 Harold Avenue
Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into finro new
single family residential lots.

Addition — SU17-13
Applicant: Robert and Claire Alber
Addresses: 7218 Harold Avenue
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 3
Purpose: To reconfigure the existing single family residential lot into two new
single family residential lots.
The /nformal Public Hearings and discussion for Items 3 and 4 were combined.
Zimmerman stated that the applicants are proposing subdivisions which would convert two
existing single family lots into four single family lots. One existing home would be
demolished and three new homes would be built. He explained that the minimum lot size
requirement in the R-2 Zoning District is 11,000 square feet in size with 100 feet of width. All
of the proposed new lots would exceed those amounts.
Zimmerman referred to a site plan of the proposed subdivisions and noted that the proposal
provides three driveways for four homes with one shared driveway. There would be no
access to Highway 55, so there would need to be driveway easements across the southern
lots to provide access to the northern lots from Harold Avenue.
Zimmerman noted that this is the fourth proposal for these properties. The first proposal was
for two detached townhome units on narrow lots which required variances from the lot width
requirement and the side yard setback requirement, the second was for six single family
homes as part of a PUD and there were issues with the lot shapes and shared driveways,
and the third was for five single family homes as part of a PUD that had issues with the
number of curb cuts and the setbacks from neighboring houses.
Zimmerman stated that in addition to area and width requirements, City Code states that
when subdividing "The front of each lot shall abut entirely on an improved public street." He
added that the Subdivision Code defines a public street as "a public right-of-way for
vehicular traffic, whether designated as a street, highway, thoroughfare, parkway, thruway,
road, avenue, boulevard, lane, place or however otherwise designated." Therefore, the
requirement that the front of each lot "abut entirely on an improved public street" becomes a
requirement that the front of each lot "abut entirely on an improved public right-of-way for
vehicular traffic" so the front of each lot must abut on a public right-of-way and the abutment
must be where the right-of-way is improved for vehicular traffic. He explained that typically a
newly subdivided lot does not abut on the improved right-of-way, but on a boulevard
adjacent to the improved portion of the right-of-way. In order to bridge this gap, the City
evaluates if a right-of-way permit can be issued to connect the property to the improved
portion of the right-of-way via a driveway and in most cases this can be done. In this case,
staff finds that this requirement cannot be met for the northern lots. He added that
Minnesota law has established that properties abutting public right-of-way also have right of
access and all access was taken from these properties by the State when land for Highway
55 was acquired. Also, the City is not able to grant a right-of-way permit for driveway
connections to Highway 55, as they would for access to a City-owned street. Without access
to Highway 55, the proposed northern lots do not technically "abut" the right-of-way and
therefore do not meet this requirement.
Zimmerman discussed the City's policies prohibiting "flag lots" and to require direct access
when subdividing. He referred to a Planning report from 1990 where it discusses several
reasons to prohibit "flag lots" such as the inability by police patrols to view the back lots, the
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 4
difficulty of access for emergency vehicles, the potential for poor spacing of driveways, and
the privacy concerns from neighboring properties. He stated that the requirements outlined
in the City Code have not been met and staff is recommending denial of the minor
Subdivisions proposals.
Kluchka asked how the word "abut" is defined. Zimmerman stated that the City Code
doesn't define the word "abut." The dictionary says it means to be up against. He added
that abutment without access doesn't qualify as abutment. Kluchka asked if that is an
interpretation or if that language is in an actual ordinance. Zimmerman said it is the City
Attorney's interpretation of Minnesota case law.
Blum asked Zimmerman to describe "flag lots." Zimmerman explained that a "flag fot" is
a lot that is behind another lot with limited frontage along the street right- of-way giving it
a flag shape. Blum asked why the City doesn't allow or encourage "flag lots."
Zimmerman said it is to prevent one home behind another essentially in someone's
back yard. He stated that there are also fire concerns about the distance of the house
from the street and the ability to turn around, and police don't have good sight to the
house in back. He added that lots were previously assessed per their street frontage so
it wasn't fair compared to "flag lots" that have narrower fronts.
Kluchka referred to the recently approved Sweeney Lake Woods PUD and asked about
the differences befinreen long driveways, shared driveways and flag lots. Zimmerman
stated that the main difference is that the Sweeney Lakes Wood development is a PUD
and the shared driveway was already located within an existing lot.
Segelbaum stated that there is a statement in the Subdivision Code requiring the front
of properties to abut right-of-way. He asked if the Code defines the front of a lot.
Zimmerman stated that the front of a lot is the area closest to the street. In this proposal
the north properties would be closest to Highway 55 and the south properties would be
closest to Harold Avenue. Segelbaum asked about the distance of the gap between the
north property lines and Highway 55. Zimmerman said there is approximately 50 to 90
feet between the property lines and the edge of the right-of-way.
Segelbaum referred to the Police and Fire concerns and asked if those concerns fall
under the requirements of approval for a subdivision. Zimmerman said no. The Police
and Fire concerns could be an issue during the building permit process, but not as part
of the subdivision of the land. He reiterated that those concerns did help form the policy
against "flag lots."
Segelbaum asked if MnDOT would have conditions for approval that could not be met.
Zimmerman stated that MnDOT didn't have concerns because the plans show access
on Harold Avenue, not on Highway 55.
Johnson stated that if Public Safety has issues it seems like the Planning Commission
should as well. He asked about the Planning Commission's protocol for making a
decision when there are two different attorney views. Zimmerman explained that Public
Safety is looking at potential future homes, not really the subdivision of the property, but
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 5
staff feels it is better to address the issues up front during the subdivision process. He
added the City Attorney's role is to protect the best interest of the City.
Kluchka said he is not finding language on how the policy around "flag lots" made into
the Zoning Code. Zimmerman stated that the language regarding "flag lots" came from
the Planning study done in 1990.
Segelbaum asked if "flag lots" were allowed, if there would be many other proposals like
this. Zimmerman stated that this is a fairly unique situation.
Peter Knaeble, Civil Engineer representing the Applicants, stated that environmental
concerns and fire suppression technology has changed since the Planning Study done
25 years ago on the issue of"flag lots." He said the City Code could be changed to state
that single family homes have to abut a residential street. He stated that seven families
attended the neighborhood meeting he held and they were generally supportive of the
proposal. He said that applicants Fred and Vicki Gross have had the property in their
family for 67 years and currently rent it out. The other applicants, the Alber's, have a two
year old daughter and want to live in this house for years to come. They have done an
extensive remodel on the house at 7218 Harold Avenue in order to preserve the
character of the neighborhood which he feels is important and makes it not a good
candidate for a teardown.
Knaeble said the City Code clearly states that the front of a lot only has to have frontage
on public right-of way. He said he understands what staff is saying, but he respectfully
disagrees. Improved right-of-way just means there is a street within the right-of-way and
doesn't mean there are driveways coming to them. He said he thinks that is an
inappropriate interpretation and that the typical interpretation is that an improved right-
of-way is a street within a right-of-way which is common sense because there is a street
within Highway 55 and these properties abut up to and touch Highway 55's right-of-way.
Knaeble stated that the City Code allows up to eight units per acre in this zoning district
so they could build up to 13 units on these properties. They could also build finro twin
homes with four driveways onto Harold Avenue without planning approval. He handed
out renderings of the previous proposals for these properties and said he thinks these
current proposals meet all of the requirements of the City Code. He said he thinks it is a
difficult leap to recommend denial now when the staff recommended approval of six lots
in the past. The neighbors did not want that many units and the two homeowners have
no interest in creating a higher density development. He said there is overwhelming
support for the properties to be split with just three driveways and saving one of the
existing homes. He reiterated that these proposals protect the character of the
neighborhood and noted that these proposed lots are greater in size than the required
minimum lot size and other lots in the area.
Knaeble stated that the new homes would be custom designed with the topography and
shape of the lots and would either be one or two story homes with two or three garage
stalls in the $450,000 to $500,000 price range. He stated that there are two families
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 6
already interested in building homes here and the City needs to understand there is a
demand for these types of properties.
Knaeble referred to the issue of having long driveways and stated that the Code does
not require access through the frontage and the driveways could be shorter if the
houses were built in different locations. He stated that the neighboring homes have
varying setbacks and some do not have a view from Harold Avenue. He said that in
regard to fire safety, it is an important concern that he takes seriously and that is why he
has said that he would mandate that the rear homes would include fire suppression
systems as a condition of approval which would take away the Fire Chief's concerns.
He referred to the Police concerns and said he thinks this is the first time he has ever
seen a staff report or comments from a Police Chief regarding a subdivision. He stated
that there is no policy or code that states homes should be visible from the street and
there are many homes in Golden Valley that are screened from the street. He said he
understands the concern, but he doesn't think they are appropriate for this proposal. He
said there needs to be consistency in staff recommendations and added that the finro
rear lots will be visible from Highway 55.
Scott Lucas, Attorney representing both applicants, stated that City staff has called out
language in the ordinances that he respectFully disagrees with the interpretation of. He
said the City implies that the word "abut" includes the requirement of access and that is
not true. Abut means to border on, and these lots border on Highway 55. He said staff
also says that right-of-way constitutes just the paved area for vehicular traffic. That is
not so, it includes the entire area up to the property line. He stated these proposals
comply with the strict language of the ordinance and that intent is only used to interpret
when an ordinance is ambiguous, which this ordinance is not. He added that there is a
long history in the City of lots having frontage, not access on a public street.
Blum referred to the handout regarding the Lawn Terrace subdivision and asked if that
subdivision was approved. Knaeble said yes, and stated that one of the lots in that
subdivision had restricted access on Glenwood and that he was allowed to use
Glenwood as frontage without access. He reiterated that the Code says that there has
to be full frontage, not access, on a street. He added that staff and the Planning
Commission supported the Lawn Terrace subdivision. Segelbaum stated that the City
often looks at how an ordinance has been applied and interpreted in the past and he is
not sure what to make of the Lawn Terrace subdivision handout. Lucas said they are
referring to the Lawn Terrace subdivision in terms of stating that abutment requires
access or right-of-way only means pavement.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
Larry Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, said he approves 100% with these proposals and
they are better than they were before.
Perry Thom, 320 Louisiana Avenue North, said he is in favor of this development and of
not stripping the community of its homeownership and its uniqueness of having
wonderful homes and people who are very proud of their homes. He said he would like
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 7
to see just finro new homes, but he realizes this development keeps out the very large,
dense, transient population that the City seems to have a plan for. He said he would
appreciate if the City would not keeping pushing density on the community because
Golden Valley residents want to have a nice, quiet community for families. He said he
would appreciate it if the Planning Commission would approve this four-unit project and
let it go forward as the City Council has suggested during past proposals for more units
on these properties.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Segelbaum closed the public
hearing.
Cera asked staff if they have any comments on the Lawn Terrace Estates exhibit that
was handed out. Zimmerman said this proposal is different from the Lawn Terrace
proposal because the Lawn Terrace lots are not typical flag lots with homes placed in
someone's back yard. He said there was a possibility in the Lawn Terrace proposal to
access Glenwood, but the City supported a shared driveway in that case to help reduce
traffic on Glenwood. He added that in this case there is no opportunity for access onto
Highway 55. Cera asked if Glenwood is a County road and if so, what the requirements
are. Zimmerman said Glenwood is a County road and that they have driveway spacing
requirements among others.
Segelbaum stated that there are some times where there is ambiguity in the way in
which the Code is applied. He asked if in the case of the Subdivision Code, the City has
in the past followed the practice that the frontage of a lot also permits the right of
access. Zimmerman said staff does look back at past interpretations. He said he doesn't
know of other similar situations, but this proposal is more challenging because it is on
Highway 55 and not on a more typical City street.
Waldhauser said her common sense understanding regarding abutment on a vehicular
roadway would be that you could take a car and drive it onto that roadway. Admittedly,
the ordinance doesn't say that, but she doesn't know if common sense or the literal
words of the ordinance should take precedence. She said there are many things about
this proposal that are attractive and desirable and even though there may not be
precedent for this precise layout and access, it seems like a reasonable use of the
property and a practical solution. Segelbaum said the Planning Commission's role is to
find facts based on the conditions of approval listed the Subdivision Code. Kluchka said
in some cases he appreciates subjectivity being incorporated into the ordinances so
issues can be evaluated for the time or situation. He said over the last couple of years
they've heard a lot about subdivisions and neighborhood character, so subjectivity has
to play a role. Cera said he thinks if access is restricted legally versus the preferred
access, there might be a difference. He added that there is probably precedence
regarding highways.
Johnson asked staff how the language went from what is in the Code to the
interpretation about frontage and access. Zimmerman referred to the conditions of
approval in the Subdivision Code and stated that one of the conditions talks about lots
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 8
having to abut a public street. The definition in the same chapter defines a public street
as the public right-of-way for vehicular traffic.
Waldhauser questioned if allowing a driveway easement, or shared driveway is opening
up the discussion about flag lots.
Cera stated that the City has said it won't approve permits if this proposed subdivision is
approved. Zimmerman said staff stated that if the subdivision is approved, the concerns
would have to be addressed during the building permit process. Johnson said he
doesn't understand the Fire Department's policy and asked if a fire truck goes to a
house that has a fire suppression system, or what they do if a driveway can't support a
fire truck.
Blum asked staff to describe the terrain befinreen Highway 55 and the north edge of the
lots. Zimmerman said there is a wooded area and a large berm between the two.
Blum said he has heard a lot of positive points about this proposal. He referred to the lot
size and said it is important that they are not seeing something that is the absolute
smallest it is allowed to be because that helps maintain a variety of housing stock. He
said he thinks this proposal also helps preserve the character of the neighborhood and
refresh the housing stock. He said the proposed fire safety improvements seem
reasonable, and in regard to the public safety concerns he doesn't agree with the
applicant that 40,000 cars speeding by on Highway 55 will be a good crime deterrent for
these homes. He said the apparent flag lots pointed out on the Sweeney Lake Woods
and Lawn Terrace proposals have several distinct differences from this proposal. The
lots in the Sweeney Lake Woods proposal are part of a PUD and are on Noble Drive
which is a local street. Also, the State did not specifically carve out a space directly in
between Noble Drive and the Sweeney Lake Woods development or in between
Glenwood Avenue and the Lawn Terrace development. He stated that the applicants'
attorney defined abut as meaning to join at the border or boundary, or to be adjacent.
So the ability to be adjacent to Highway 55 is important in the interpretation of the
statute. He said through eminent domain the State specifically removed access
between Highway 55 and these properties and that clearly distinguishes the prior
developments that have been put before the Planning Commission to draw precedent to
the current proposal and perhaps it could be treated differently if this were a PUD rather
than a subdivision. He said there were also comments about using common sense. He
said common sense tells him that this proposal on Highway 55 is very different than
being adjacent to Glenwood Avenue or Noble Avenue.
Kluchka said his own findings are that these properties are zoned R-2, but nobody
wants this neighborhood to be R-2 so he thinks this proposal is a happy medium for
what the neighborhood has said they want. He said the properties have visibility from
Highway 55 and police could stop at the side of the road and see into the back lots of
this development. He added that that safety standard hasn't been applied anywhere
else in the City and that is a concern to him. He said this proposal is for 4 lots which is
what he has asked for in past proposals for these properties and he thinks this is a
unique opportunity to develop these R-2 properties using tactics the City and staff
wanted.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015

Segelbaum said he sees the City Attorney's interpretation as very much the legal
interpretation. He said if there are reasons why the Planning Commission doesn't think
iYs the appropriate interpretation he'd be interested in hearing them. He said if the City
is held to the exact language in the Subdivision Code it will see a lot more situations like
this one. He said he thinks they should follow what the City Attorney has interpreted the
Code to be.
Johnson said the question is whether the properties abut on a public street or not if the
state owns what is in befinreen the property line and the road. He said the properties
seem to abut land that is adjacent to a street. Kluchka said the same thing could be said
about their own properties. They all own property that is adjacent to a street and
easements the City owns. Segelbaum said the distinction there is that they are able to
build a driveway over that land. Johnson said there are a lot of contradictions with this
proposal and it seems reasonable, because it does abut on a street, but the rules say a
public street is a right-of-way.
Kluchka asked if the question about abutment would apply at all if this were a PUD. He
said it is unfortunate here that they are using legal semantics when if this was a PUD
the City would have approved a proposal for three flag lots. Zimmerman stated that
ultimately the Planning Commission and City Council didn't approve the past PUD
proposal on these lots. He said through those conversations it was realized there are
some better options to move away from flag lots. Also, it was decided by the City
Council to set aside some money to do a study of this area and not develop it in a piece
meal way. Waldhauser suggested looking at the zoning of these properties because at
one point the City thought it would be a good area for R-2 zoning, but maybe it is not
because that is not what is happening. She said approving this development preserves
this area as R-1. She agreed that redeveloping this area piece meal, lot by lot, is not a
good way to do it. Cera noted that if these properties were zoned R-1 it would go
forward with the same arguments so this is really not an R-1 versus R-2 issue.
Waldhauser said the issue is that this area was directed for R-2 development and that is
not happening.
Knaeble added that the Lawn Terrace development had a restricted access by MnDOT
and that Glenwood Avenue could not be used for access similar to this Highway 55
proposal. Blum noted that the line shown on the Lawn Terrace exhibit is parallel to
Glenwood and not to Highway 100 which is another distinction between those proposals
and this proposal.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Waldhauser and motion tied 3 to 3 to recommend
approval of the subdivision proposal for the property at 7200 Harold Avenue.
Commissioners Blum, Johnson and Segelbaum voted no.

5. Continued Item — Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—
Amending PUD Requirements —ZO00-102
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider modifications to PUD requirements when considering
major, minor, or administrative amendments
Goellner reminded the Commission that this item was discussed at their previous
meetings on August 24 and September 28. She discussed the differences between the
proposed new language regarding administrative PUD amendments and minor PUD
amendments. Administrative amendments will be administrative in nature and will
generally have no underlying zoning requirements to refer to, they will have no
significant impact to surrounding land uses, and they will be consistent with the vision
and guidance set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and the PUD as it was originally
approved. Minor amendments will also have to meet the underlying zoning
requirements, have no significant impact to the surrounding land uses, and be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and original PUD, but will be required when
there is a significant change to architectural plans or landscape plans in a way that
alters the original intended function of the plans. Major PUD amendments would be
required when the plans do not meet the underlying zoning requirements, have a
significant impact to surrounding land uses, or are inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and the original PUD.
Waldhauser referred to the proposed new Code language regarding Minor PUD
amendments and stated that requirement number 12 is subjective and it tells her that
the original intent of a PUD when it is first created really needs to be spelled out so staff
isn't guessing at what the original intent was. Goellner agreed that is a good idea.
Johnson stated that the proposed new language has a section for Planning Commission
approval during the Preliminary and Final review processes, but the proposed PUD
amendment process states that there is only one Planning Commission review.
Zimmerman stated that the creation of new PUDs will go before the Planning
Commission twice, but a PUD amendment application would only go to the Planning
Commission one time. Goellner stated that she would clarify the language in the section
Johnson referred to make sure it refers to amendments.
Kluchka referred to the section in the staff report regarding major PUD amendments
regarding site planning and building materials and questioned if the intent of what
design is should be better clarified. Goellner stated that she doesn't have the
background to know what other words to use to be more specific about design besides
using the word significant. Kluchka said he has some ideas.
Blum suggested Subdivision 10(A) and (B) not start with negatives because negatives
are hard to substantiate and interpret. He suggested that Subdivision 10(A)(7) and
10(B)(12) be reworded as follows: "Any other change determined by the City Manager
or his/her designee �e 1 to not have a significant impact to surrounding land uses,
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 11
2) ;c ^'�+��m�^��to be consistent with the vision and guidance set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan and the PUD as it was originally approved, and 3) ' to
be administrative in nature."
Goellner referred to the proposed amenity points system and stated that it would be
used only for new PUDs. Applicants would need five points from the designated list of
amenities. Applicants may be awarded a portion of points for each amenity and may
propose an amenity not on the list, but only for a maximum of finro points. She showed a
list of recent developments and how many points they would have earned if the amenity
points system was in place when they were approved. Kluchka referred to giving points
in the future for PUD amendments and asked if points would be given for previously
constructed items, or if the points would only apply to the amendment occurring at the
time. Zimmerman said he thinks that as long as the PUD has enough points as a whole
that would be consistent with the intent.
Johnson referred to the amenity regarding utilization of a renewable energy source and
said the language uses both energy costs and the quantity of energy. He asked about
the differences between the two and what it is trying to measure. Goellner stated that
staff would look at the quantity of energy that is generated quantify and cost it out.
Kluchka asked if the annual energy expenditure would be measured through the cost.
Goellner said yes because the cost of energy is known. Cera questioned why therms or
megahertz wouldn't be used. Waldhauser agreed that using the cost would be variable.
Goellner said she would change the word "cosY' to "consumption" and talk to the City of
Minneapolis to find out how they do their measurement.
Johnson referred to the amenity regarding community gardens and said he doesn't think
it is practical to require a shed because there will be issues about who maintains it, who
unlocks it, etc. He also questioned the language stating that the food produced shall be
provided to those living or working in Golden Valley and wondered who would take
responsibility and liability for that. Waldhauser said she thinks community gardens
means a place where people can go to do some gardening, not so much as a food
source.
Segelbaum asked if the Commission could vote separately on different sections of the
proposed language. Goellner said no, it is one text amendment. Johnson said he would
like to vote separately on the amenity section. Goellner said the Commission could vote
to recommend approval of the entire ordinance, but strike Section J regarding amenity
points.
Blum referred to the affordable housing units amenity and asked if Area Median Income
is defined. Goellner said yes, it is defined state wide and the income varies by area.
Goellner noted that other changes have been made to the proposed ordinance including
listing administrative amendments before minor and major amendments, requiring that
wetland and pond riparian buffers comply with City, Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Commission and State regulations, requiring a solid waste management
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
October 26, 2015
Page 12
and recycling plan instead of a garbage and refuse plan, and including a communication
plan as part of the development agreement when applicable.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment,
Segelbaum closed the public hearing.
Kluchka said he would like to see consistency between public art and creation and
preservation of significant or historical architecture and would like them both to have 3
points on the amenity point table. The Commissioners agreed.
Kluchka suggested striking the last sentence in the community garden amenity which
reads that the food produced shall be provided to those living or working in Golden
Valley. The Commissioners agreed.
Kluchka said he would like Subdivision 10(C)(2) to be amended as follows: Eliminate,
diminish or compromise the oriqinal intent of and/or high quality of_site planning,
architectural design, landscape+flg design, landscape materials, or building materials.
The Commissioners agreed.
Waldhauser questioned why points would be given for decorative fencing. She said if
there is fencing needed it should be required to be high quality. Segelbaum said he
thinks there is a difference befinreen high quality and decorative. Waldhauser said she
would like the language regarding fencing removed. Cera and Kluchka agreed.
Segelbaum said he doesn't mind giving one point for an attractive fence.
Waldhauser referred to the amenity points regarding enhanced lighting and said she
also wants the language to include energy efficient lighting and dark sky compliant
lighting. Goellner said there are other parts of the Zoning Code that require all lighting to
be dark sky compliant.
Waldhauser referred to the amenity regarding enhanced landscaping and asked if the
City requires plans to be signed by a landscape architect. Goellner said landscape
plans for single family homes don't need to be signed by a landscape architect, but
other types of properties do.
Blum referred to the amenity regarding LEED certification and said he doesn't want
applicants to get all of their points just by being LEED certified. He would like to
encourage things that benefit more people. Goellner noted that sometimes other
amenities just won't work. For example there might not be room for a plaza. Kluchka
said the Planning Commission needs to be clear about its intent.
Johnson said he doesn't think the point system makes sense. He said he is concerned
about cause and effect and that the City is going to get the least amount of amenities as

employees or customers or less points if they are for use by the general public. Goellner
said adding the word "customers" and "general public" to the electric car charging
category makes sense.
Segelbaum asked the Commissioners if they were in favor of the amenity point system.
Blum, Cera, Kluchka, Segelbaum and Waldhauser said yes. Johnson said no. Kluchka
questioned what would happen if the Planning Commission really liked a PUD proposal
that didn't have enough points. Goellner said that a PUD proposal would have to have
five points to be approved.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to
recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Code text amendment amending PUD
requirements.

Background
The Lakeview Park neighborhood located in the northwest part of the City was split into three PMP
project years,2015,2016, and 2017. As part of the 2016 PMP project portion,the City of Golden
Valley proposes to rehabilitate approximately 0.48 miles of streets and 0.11 miles of bituminous trail
(crossing Lakeview Park). The 2016 PMP project area is bounded by Mendelssohn Avenue North to
the west, Olympia Street to the north, Gettysberg Avenue North to the east, and Plymouth Avenue
North to the south (see attached exhibit).
The proposed 2016 improvements include the construction of storm sewer pipe, drainage structures,
sanitary sewer repairs,water main replacement, bituminous t�•ail reconstruction, and street
reconstruction including concrete curb and gutter.
SEH started preparation of the bidding documents in conjunction with the 2015 PMP project,but put
them on hold to complete the 2015 project. SEH will finish preparing the plans for the 2016 PMP,
prepare the specifications,obtain necessary permit approvals, and provide bidding preparation

3. H. Authorize Agreement with Hennepin County for the 2016/17 Sentencing to Service Program
Prepared By
Bert Tracy, Public Works Maintenance Manager
AI Lundstrom, Park Maintenance Supervisor
Summary
Over the years,the Public Works Department has received requests for miscellaneous tasks
including weeding, litter pickup, and park cleanup that exceed the Public Works Maintenance
Division's available resources. In response to these unmet needs, staff contracted with Hennepin
County's Sentencing to Service Program (STSj in 2014.
The STS crews exceeded staff's expectations and capabilities on a range of projects. The 2014 and
2015 projects are listed below:
• Weeding and mulching public landscapes
• Mulching and leveling playgrounds
• Nature trail maintenance
• Trimming small trees and shrubs
• Edging and line trimming parks
• Sad and seed restoration projects
• Painting picnic tables, hockey rink boards, buildings and signs
• Fall cleanup, cutting perennials, etc.
• Highway 55 lilac project maintenance
• Cleaning and landscape maintenance around stormwater ponds
• Litter picking all public grounds and highways
• Buckthorn removal projects
Based on STS's performance in 2014 & 2015, staff is recommending that the City continue the
working relationship with STS in 2016 & 2017. Under the new two year contract, Hennepin
County will continue to provide one STS crew full time (5 days a week) to Golden Valley. The
primary focus of the STS crews will continue to be on the projects listed above and other
environment-related efforts.
Staff sees this partnership with STS as being a great value and service to the residents of Golden
Valley. The annual cost for STS in 2015 was $90,064. The total two year cost to continue this
service in 2016 & 2017 is $185,536., which includes a 3% increase in 2016 and no additional
increase in 2017. The cost is shared between the Conservation/Recycling Fund and Storm Sewer
Fund and each has $46,390 in 2016 Budget and $47,760 in 2017 Budget.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting

Agenda Item
3. K. Call for Public Hearing to Vacate Easements at 7751 Medicine Lake Road, 2430 Winnetka
Avenue North, and 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North (Liberty Crossing PUD)
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver P.E., City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
A developer has proposed the construction of a residential planned unit development, called
Liberty Crossing, near the intersection of Winnetka Avenue North and Medicine Lake Road
(see attached location map). The existing parcels will be consolidated and the entire property
re-platted to prepare for development. As part of this process, the existing public easements
must be vacated and the developer must dedicate new public right-of-way and easements on the
final plat. The locations of the new easements will better reflect the planned locations of the
buildings, utilities, and stormwater facilities.
Staff sent a letter to all private utility companies requesting their review and comment on the
easement vacation, and there has been no objection. Since the easements are not adjacent to
public water, no notice to the Commissioner of Natural Resources is required for this vacation. If
City Council approves the call for public hearing, staff will publish and post a notice of public
hearing and send letters to all affected property owners consistent with state statute.
This item was originally placed on the November 17 City Council agenda, but was removed by
staff to allow the City and Developer more time to work on the development agreement and final
plat.

Agenda Item
3. L. Master Agreements for 2016-2017 Sanitary Sewer Repair Program
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
R.J. Kakach, EIT, Engineer
Summary
The City of Golden Valley Pavement Management Program (PMP) includes a voluntary program
to allow residents in the project area to rehabilitate their sanitary sewer service with the goal of
becoming compliant with the Inflow and Infiltration Ordinance. This program allows property
owners to obtain competitive bids from pre-approved contractors, and provides the property
owners the opportunity to have the costs of sewer rehabilitation specially assessed against the
property if they choose for a 10-year period.
In 2013,this program was also expanded to offer residents throughout the City the ability to
assess sanitary sewer repairs in non-PMP areas if they are working to achieve I/I compliance. This
program works exactly like the past PMP sanitary sewer repair program; however, this
assessment is over a 5-year period. In 2016, the program will be extended to include residential
properties on the Douglas Drive Reconstruction project the opportunity to assess sanitary sewer
repairs to achieve I/I compliance.
The prequalification process for private sewer service repair contractors included the ability to
perform excavation and/or liner repairs, the contractor's history of performing service repairs in
Golden Valley, the availability of equipment, and financial resources. Based upon the criteria,the
following three private sanitary sewer service repair contractors have qualified for this program
which will run from 2016 through 2017:
• Gene's Water and Sewer
• Highview Plumbing
• Ouverson Sewer and Water
Each of these contractors is required to enter into a Master Agreement with the City of Golden
Valley to perform private repairs as part of the sanitary sewer repair program. The contractors
will be responsible for contacting each resident who is interested in having their repair costs
specially assessed, and providing them with estimates for the repair. When property owners have
selected a contractor for their repairs, a three-party agreement between the City, property
owner, and private contractor is signed by all parties. Following completion of the repairs, the
property owner may opt to have the costs specially assessed to the property.

Agenda Item
6. A. First Consideration - Ordinance #585 -Amending Section 4.32:Tree Preservation
Prepared By
AI Lundstrom, Parks Maintenance Supervisor
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
The following recommendations address concerns raised as part of the Subdivision Study in 2014
and 2015. Proposed revisions were presented at Council/Manager meetings on September 8 and
October 13. Revisions were also shared with the Environmental Commission and the Planning
Commission on October 26.
Allowable Tree Removal Reduced
The City's goal is to require the preservation of high quality trees to the largest practical extent
possible. Staff is proposing to reduce the amount of trees than can be removed from the site prior
to mitigation being required during both initial site development (which includes any regrading of a
site or installation of utilities) and the second phase of development (which includes construction
of buildings and installation of landscaping).
