Regular Meeting of the
Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
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,
September 24, 2018. Chair Baker called the meeting to order at 7 pm.
Those present were Planning Commissioners Angell, Baker, Blum, Johnson, Pockl, and
Segelbaum (left at 7:55). Also present were Planning Manager Jason Zimmerman,
Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa
Wittman. Commissioner Brookins was absent
1. Approval of Minutes
September 11, 2018, Regular Planning Commission Meeting
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by Segelbaum and motion carried unanimously to
approve the September 11, 2018, minutes as submitted.
2. Informal Public Hearing – Zoning Code Text Amendment – Zoning Code
Recodification – ZO00-116
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider replacing Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) in its entirety as part
of the 2018 recodification of the City Code.
Zimmerman stated that staff has been working with the City Clerk since 2017 to update
the City Code, including changes to the Zoning Chapter. He explained that the proposed
changes were broken into three categories. Category A consists of “housekeeping” items
which include updating titles and references, modernizing language, and reordering and
simplifying the Code. Category B items deal with policy changes that have been vetted
with the Planning Commission, City Council and/or wider departmental discussions.
Category C items include policy changes that have not been vetted and need additional
discussion and analysis before consideration.
Baker asked if category B items could be moved to category C. Zimmerman said they
potentially could be, but the recodification is set to go to the City Council in October. He
added that there is still some time to make modifications and there will be opportunities to
change things at a later date through the regular Zoning Code Text Amendment process.
Zimmerman referred to the category B items and discussed them each specifically. The
first proposed amendment would update the Code language to handle Tax Parcel
Divisions or Combinations. He explained that the new Code language will ensure
structural nonconformities are not created; it will require approval by the City before action
by the County to do a Tax Parcel Division; it will require the submittal of a survey in order
to demonstrate conformance with zoning regulations; and it will require notification by mail
to properties within 250 feet.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 2
Johnson asked if it is possible for a property owner to go directly to the County to do a Tax
Parcel Division. Zimmerman said no because the County requires that the City sign off on
the paperwork.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with Conditional Use
Permits. The proposed new language states that a Conditional Use Permit shall expire if
the use ceases for a period of more than 12 consecutive months, and it requires that
changes other than minor changes shall require an amendment to the Conditional Use
Permit.
Baker asked if the Conditional Use Permit amendment process is different from applying
for an initial Conditional Use Permit. Zimmerman stated that the amendment process
would be the same and would have the same public hearing and notification requirements.
Segelbaum asked if the current Conditional Use Permit amendment process requires the
applicant to relinquish their existing Conditional Use Permit and re-apply for a new one.
Zimmerman said that potentially is how it would currently be handled.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with the height of homes. He
stated that the proposed new language would make homes with flat roofs subject to the
same “tent-shaped” or tapered building envelope as pitched roofs so a difference in height
limits (25 feet for flat roofs, 28 feet for pitched roofs) is no longer needed, and that the
proposed new language provides clarification on the height allowed for shed roofs on
accessory structures.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with residential density in the
R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts. The proposed language revises the R-3 Zoning District from
12 units per acre for senior use to 20 units per acre for senior use with a Conditional Use
Permit. The proposed language also revises the R-4 Zoning District and establishes a
maximum density of 50 units per acre or 70 units per acre for senior use and a density of
up to 100 units per acre with a Conditional Use Permit. He added that this proposed
language captures what the City is currently doing.
Segelbaum stated that the trend is for fairly dense, small apartment units and he worries
that those types of units aren’t sustainable over the long term. He asked about the density
of some of the recently constructed apartment buildings. Zimmerman noted that the Arcata
project is the most dense and that all of the others were less dense than that project.
Baker asked if any thought was given to offering incentives for affordable housing.
Zimmerman stated that the City recently adopted the Mixed-Income Housing Policy.
Goellner added that a reduction in the number of parking spaces is allowed in the Policy
as an incentive as well.
Segelbaum said he is concerned about allowing 100 units per acre and he worries about
having too many buildings with small units and if that is really sustainable. Zimmerman
stated that Golden Valley is a fully developed city so developers need a certain amount of
density to make redevelopment feasible.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 3
Baker asked if smaller units are a trend. Zimmerman said yes, the trend is smaller units
with more amenities and shared spaces. Segelbaum agreed that currently there are no
maximum density levels so the proposed language might be helpful. Zimmerman added
that there are many other factors besides density that developers have to consider such
as parking, traffic, etc. Baker said he doesn’t want the City to end up with a lot of vacant,
tiny units. Johnson said it is even more dangerous if the City pays for it with TIF.
Segelbaum said he would like more context of what types of existing projects have 50
units per acre. Baker said he would like staff to look more deeply into offering incentives
for affordable housing.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs). He explained that the Intent and Purpose section has been revised
to reflect public benefit in the form of amenities; amenity points are allowed for additional
affordable units provided; minor modifications have made to the other amenity categories;
and one criteria for a Minor Amendment has been adjusted to state that an increase in
gross floor area, rather than a change in gross floor area is a trigger for the amendment.
Johnson asked about the definition of public art. Zimmerman said it is art that is in the
public realm or viewable from the public realm. Johnson asked if it could be on private
property. Zimmerman said yes.
Blum referred to the removal of underground parking as a PUD amenity and suggested
that a percentage of underground parking be assigned to incentivize it. He added there is
value in having underground parking in regard to the amount of pavement as well as the
visual impact of parked cars. He said there has also been discussion about putting parking
lots alongside the roadway in gateway areas so he thinks the underground parking
amenity points should remain in some way. Segelbaum agreed that underground parking
should be encouraged.
Baker said it has always struck him that the amenity options aren’t scaled in any way. He
said he wishes there was more guidance on why the points are given the way they are.
Zimmerman said there is some suggested weighting in the Zoning Code and that a lot of
the weight of the points comes through the Planning Commission and City Council public
hearing process where there is a review and relative ranking of importance of the amenity
items. Baker questioned why there isn’t incentive to make developers do a lot of good
things and get more amenity points than just requiring them to get five points and do
nothing else. Zimmerman noted that there haven’t been any PUD proposals since the
adoption of the amenity point language. He stated that before the amenity point language
was added to the Code there was no guidance at all so this language gives the City a way
to reflect to a developer what the City’s preferences are. Segelbaum stated that the size of
the PUD should be reflected in the size of the points given and that there isn’t any
quantification. He gave the example of a developer receiving amenity points for providing
just a small solar power project. Goellner clarified that the Code states that 50% of the
energy has to be from renewable energy in order to get the amenity points. Blum stated
that a catch all statement could be adding that says all of the factors should be appropriate
or reasonable for the scale of the development. It could then be at the City’s discretion to
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 4
determine what is appropriate and reasonable. Baker agreed it would be good to reinforce
some type of scaling with the number of amenity points given.
Johnson said it would be good to see some feedback from the market to help figure out
how to gauge if the customer is happy with the PUD language and amenity points. Baker
agreed and said it would be good to know if the City is providing a disincentive for PUDs.
Segelbaum asked if there is way to track development proposals that staff see but then for
whatever reason go away. Zimmerman said yes and added that there have only been a
couple over the past few years.
Zimmerman stated that the last proposed amendment deals with outdoor storage. He
explained that the proposed new language clarifies where and how outdoor storage can
take place in the front, side, and rear yards of residential properties; it establishes a limit of
30 days for landscaping materials to be kept in front yards; it establishes screening
standards for storage in side and rear yards; it allows auto dealership inventory storage in
the Light Industrial and Industrial Zoning Districts with a Conditional Use Permit and in
parking ramps with the permission of the owner; and it strengthens language around the
screening of mechanical equipment in all zoning districts.
Baker said he realizes that the Planning Commission has had several discussions about
outdoor storage and asked to what degree the proposed language adheres to the
Planning Commission consensus and what was taken into consideration and what was
not. Zimmerman explained that staff brought a summary of the Planning Commission
discussions to a Council/Manager meeting. He stated that a lot of the proposed changes
were about how to provide screening in side yards and looking from the street into
people’s properties because it is difficult to screen items 100% while still being able to
access them. He added that the proposed language requires items in a side yard to be
stored five feet from the property rather than the current requirement of three feet. He
noted that some of the Planning Commissioners had suggested that items stored in a side
yard be required to follow the same setback requirements as the house, but the City
Council felt that was too much to require. He stated that the City Council did agree with the
Planning Commission in regard to auto dealership inventory storage.
Blum said he is interested in exploring any conflicts the proposed Zoning Code language
might have with the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and how people are
supposed to know what is appropriate and what to follow. Zimmerman stated that Planning
staff worked closely with Fire staff in this process and tried to make the language and
definitions consistent. He explained that the IPMC deals more with unhealthy and unsafe
conditions and that the Zoning Code deals more with aesthetic issues.
Pockl asked if a definition for storage has been considered. Zimmerman said it has not
because it is helpful to leave the definition a little open to interpretation so that staff can
work with people when necessary. He said he agreed that it might be helpful to provide
residents some more guidance as to what is allowed and what is not.
Blum referred to the proposed language about screening and stated that it seems
inconsistent to state that screening is required in side and rear yards but to not ask for
screening for items in front yards. Zimmerman clarified that items are not allowed to be
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 5
stored in front yards except for on a driveway. Blum asked if an RV can be stored on a
driveway indefinitely. Zimmerman said yes.
Baker asked if there are rules regarding the number of cars a person can have on their
driveway. Zimmerman said there is not a limit in the number of cars, but everything else
has to be stored in a garage, or in a side yard or rear yard and screened.
Blum referred to the language regarding the screening of mechanical equipment and said
that it seems to restrict other items that the City might not want screened such as solar
panels, satellites, etc. Baker suggested using more specific language rather than saying
“mechanical equipment.” Zimmerman said staff can work on the language to be more
specific about what is allowed and what is not.
Zimmerman stated that the next step in recodification process is the first consideration for
all chapters except the Zoning chapter at the City Council on October 2 and a second
consideration for the entire Code on October 16.
Blum said he would like to submit neighborhood signage at entrances or common
roadways and sunset clauses for a number of items as Category C items for future
consideration.
Baker opened the public hearing.
Zimmerman referred to an email he received that had similar concerns about the definition
of storage and concerns about placing too much burden on homeowners to provide
screening.
Angell said he would like to note that he thinks having some room for interpretation in the
Zoning Code can be helpful when dealing with outdoor storage issues and that he is
supportive of the proposed Code changes and not supportive of some of the changes that
were suggested in the resident’s email Zimmerman referred to.
Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing.
MOVED by Angell, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the replacing Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) in its entirety as part of the 2018
recodification of the City Code.

Zimmerman stated that the ULI Downtown Study will be discussed at the October 9
Council/Manager meeting.
Goellner stated that Andy Snope has been appointed to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Johnson stated that the Planning Commission has spent a lot of time on the Comp Plan
Update and he would like to know the next level of work and how the Planning
Commission can provide a better service and what additional things they can do. Baker
suggested adding that to the list of future discussion items that Zimmerman recently
provided. Johnson said he would like to look at an overlay of the City, the housing
goals, and redevelopment goals and he questioned what the Planning Commission
could do differently or how they can get more involved in an active planning role.
Zimmerman stated that the first discussion item they will be discussing is pedestrian
overlay districts. Johnson suggested that rather than cancelling Planning Commission
meetings when there are no agenda items they could use that time for education
instead. Blum suggested discussing overlay districts outside of the specific Douglas
Drive one.

3. F. Approval of Six Month Extension for Filing of Final Plat for Tennant Companies PUD No. 114,
Amendment #3 - 701 Lilac Drive North
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
On May 1, 2018, the City Council approved a modification in the boundary of the Tennant PUD. This
change was made to exclude from the PUD a new three-quarters of an acre parcel in the area
previously known at 5808 Olson Memorial Highway in order to create an area of land on which a
relocated Damascus Way facility could be constructed.
Per City Code, the final plat must be approved within 180 days of preliminary plat approval. The City
Code also allows the City Council to grant an extension of this deadline. A number of complications
regarding land transfers that were made as part of the construction of Olson Memorial Highway have
lengthened the amount of time needed to prepare the final plat, so the applicant is seeking additional
time to complete this task. Staff is recommending approval of a six month extension to April 30, 2019.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between City of Golden Valley and Golden Valley Community Foundation
BACKGROUND
At the July 2016 Council/Manager meeting, the City Council created a committee to
evaluate opportunities for furthering the relationship between the Golden Valley
Community Foundation ("Foundation") and the City of Golden Valley ("City"). Mayor
Shep Harris, Finance Director Sue Virnig, Parks & Recreation Director Rick Birno, and
City Manager Tim Cruikshank represented the City and Linda Loomis, Dean Penk, John
Kluchka, and Jeffrey Prottas represented the Foundation. After meeting in August and
October, the group created this document for consideration by the City Council and the
Foundation's governing board.
MISSION
The mission of furthering the relationship between the City and Foundation is to
increase and best leverage the Foundation's capacity to have a positive impact on the
Golden Valley community through the services it provides and work it performs, and
thereby improve the welfare of the community as a whole. It is understood that a
positive and collaborative relationship between the City and Foundation increases the
Foundation's capacity, which in turn benefits the City and the community. The
Foundation uses philanthropy, community initiatives and funding support to address the
changing needs and interests of GV neighbors and friends.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to clarify the relationship between the City and
Foundation.
STATEMENT
The City recognizes that the Foundation's work improves the general welfare of the
Golden Valley community, reduces the administrative and financial burden on City
government and results in delivery of services to the community that the City may not
otherwise have the resources or capacity to deliver. The City believes in the role of a
community foundation and respects the Foundation's history and accomplishments. The
City appreciates the desire of the Foundation to strive to have an even greater impact in
Golden Valley for the overall good and well-being of the community, residents, and
businesses.
OFFICE SPACE
The City agrees to lease office space to the Foundation effective June 1, 2017. The
space will be the area located across from the DMV in the lower level of City Hall. It is
19'2" by 12'Y or approximately 228 square feet. The 2016 annual market value of this
office space is $ 18/sq. ft. or$4,104. This is net rent which includes taxes and utilities, as
provided by the County Assessor. The Foundation will be responsible for its own office
services and equipment, including phone number/system, computers, mailbox, office
furniture, copier, fax, and the like. The Foundation will collaborate with the City on
appropriate signage on and/or adjacent to the office door.
Exhibit A
The consideration to be provided to the Cite by the Foundation in return for the office
space includes that the Foundation will be responsible for, in full or in substantial part,
the Market in the Valley Farmers' Market (or similar program/event) between June and
October and the annual Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival (or similar program/event).
The City believes these two events are important to the welfare of the community. If not
for the Foundation's responsibility for these two events, the City would need to and
would choose to operate these events itself, and the cost to the City of doing so would
exceed the market value of the leased space. The City recognizes that the Foundation
may now and in the future operate and provide additional events, programs and
services that benefit the community beyond those two listed above.
The office space will be provided to the Foundation under a formal lease agreement,
with a month-to-month term and the City providing at least 90-days' notice prior to any
termination. Terms of the lease shall address issues of access and insurance, along
with other customary lease terms determined by the City. With regard to access, the
Foundation will have access to City Hall during normal business hours. The City will set
specific times for after-hours access and will control access to City Hall via electronic
keycard for these times. This will be done for safety and liability reasons. Access will
only be allowed to City Hall for purposes of utilizing the Foundation's leased space. With
regard to insurance, the Foundation must be insured and the City must be listed as an
additional insured on the policy or in the form of a rider.
BROOKVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER
The City is developing a policy for the use of community space in the new Brookview
Community Center ("Brookview") by private groups like the Foundation. The City
expects the policy will generally provide that service organizations using the facility for
not-for-profit uses will likely not pay a room rental fee. However, no outside food or
beverage will be allowed to be brought in and therefore any food or beverage service
would be required to be purchased from Brookview or one of its authorized vendors.
COMMUNICATIONS/ADVERTISING
The City will incorporate the Foundation into its Facebook page, website, publications
and electronic billboard in the following manner:
1. The City website will include a link to the Foundation website on the "About Golden
Valley" page and will include links to Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts
Music Festival on the "Community Events" page. Both events will also be included
on the website City Calendar. On the website home page news feed, the City will
promote Market in the Valley twice before opening day, once before closing day, and
up to three times during the season for special event days at the Market. Promotion
will consist of a brief description of the Market or event followed by a link to the
Market in the Valley website. On the website home page news feed, the City will
promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music; Festival twice before the event. Promotion
will consist of a brief story featuring event highlights followed by a link to the Golden
Valley Arts & Music Festival website.
2. The City Facebook page will "Like" and "Follow" the Foundation Facebook page.
The City will share Market in the Valley Facebook posts to the City Facebook page
to promote Market in the Valley twice before opening day, once before closing day,
and up to three times during the season for special event days at the Market. The
City will share Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival Facebook posts to the City
Facebook page to promote the Golden 'Valley Arts & Music Festival twice before the
event. The City will select which event posts to share when multiple options are
available, and may coordinate selections with the Foundation.
3. The City electronic billboard will promote Market in the Valley starting one month
before opening day and throughout the season until closing day. The City electronic
billboard will promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival starting one month
before the event. Other Foundation events will be promoted on the electronic
billboard upon request by the Foundation as long as the event complies with the
City's electronic billboard policy.
4. The City will list Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival,
with links to the respective websites, on the "Upcoming Events" page in the editions
of Golden Valley CityNews that precede! the events. During the inaugural year of this
agreement, the City will provide one news story about the agreement in CityNews as
space allows. The City will provide space in its Recreation Activities Catalog to
promote Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival in the
issue preceding each event. Promotions will be sized as space allows, and finished
artwork must be provided by the Foundation.
5. Callers/customers to City Hall for the Foundation or its programs/events will be given
the Foundation's contact information.
There will be no interference with daily City administrative operations or administrative
requests made of City staff by the Foundation. All contact related to new requests or
coordination from Foundation representatives to city staff must be initiated through the
City Manager's office.
PUBLIC ART
The City and Foundation will work collaboratively to create a process for the
advancement of more public art within the community. To the extent any art installations
involve expenditure of City funds or the installation is located on City property or public
right of-way, the City shall have final approval on the art itself and its placement.
EVENTS
The Foundation shall support and/or carry out the following events (or similar
program/event):
Market in the Valley Farmers' Market, Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival (including the
City's photo contest awards presentation as part of this event), and the Envision Award.
MEMBERSHIP AND VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT
The City agrees to include on its Boards and Commissions application form a brief
summary of Foundation opportunities and an authorization for the City to share an
applicant's contact information with the Foundation for the purposes of promoting
participation in the Foundation's Board or Teams. The form of the authorization will be
determined by the City and an applicant's decision whether to provide such
authorization will be voluntary.
CITY FUNDING/GRANTS FROM FOUNDATION
The City and Foundation will work collaboratively to streamline the process by which
funds specifically donated to the Foundation for the purposes of funding a City project
for example: park equipment) are delivered to the City.
FUNDRAISING
The City recognizes fundraising is a critical aspect of what the Foundation does.
However, the City will not solicit funds on behalf of the Foundation, including through
any of its communication tools. The Foundation acknowledges City officials will need to
consider both real and perceived conflicts of interest arising from any involvement they
may have in the Foundation's fundraising activities, and such conflicts may limit or
prevent their participation in such activities.
ANNUAL MEETING
A meeting between the City and the Foundation Board representatives will occur at
least annually at Council/Manager meetings designated by the City.
TERMS
The terms of this Memorandum are subject to annual review by both parties with any
changes to be agreed upon by both parties in writing. Termination of the agreement
may be initiated by either party and implemented after 90 days' written notice to the
other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed to and
executed by the duly authorized representatives of the City and the Foundation,
effective as of Q W4gy, r;G , 2016.

EXHIBIT B
AMENDED OFFICE LEASE
1. PARTIES. This Office Lease (the “Lease”) is entered into effective as of March 7, 2017,
by and between City of Golden Valley, a Minnesota municipal corporation (“Landlord”) and
Golden Valley Community Foundation, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (“Tenant”).
2. PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord that certain
office space (“Premises”) crosshatched on the floor plan attached as Exhibit “A” to and made a
part of this Lease, said Premises being agreed, for the purpose of this Lease, to have an area of
228 square feet of the building located at 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, MN
(“Building”).
3. TERM. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall be month-to-month, commencing on June
1, 2017 (“Commencement Date”), provided, except as otherwise provided herein, the Landlord
may terminate this Lease and the Term at any time and for any reason upon ninety (90) days’
prior written notice to Tenant.
4. POSSESSION. If Landlord permits Tenant to occupy the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease.
5. RENT. The parties agree that the market rent for the Premises, as of the date hereof, is
$4,104.00 per year, inclusive of taxes and utilities (“Cash Rent”). In lieu of paying such Cash
Rent, Tenant agrees to provide the Landlord the following services during the Term (individually
an “Agreed Service”, collectively, the “Agreed Services”):
(a) Management of and responsibility for conducting, in full or substantial part, the
community farmers’ market in Golden Valley, commonly known as “Market in
the Valley”, occurring weekly between the months of June and October,
inclusive; and
(b) Management of and responsibility for conducting, in full or substantial part, the
annual community arts event in Golden Valley, commonly known as “Golden
Valley Music and Arts Festival”.
The parties agree that the annual market value of the Agreed Services to Landlord meets or
exceeds the Cash Rent. Upon written request to Landlord, Tenant may request to provide
Landlord other service(s) in lieu of the Cash Rent (“Offered Services”) in addition to or in
replacement of one or more of the Agreed Services. Upon receipt of such request, Landlord shall
have the right to accept or reject such Offered Services. If Landlord agrees to accept such
Offered Services in addition to or in replacement of an Agreed Service, the parties shall execute
an amendment to the Lease reflecting such agreement.
6. ACCESS. On the Commencement Date, the Landlord shall provide each of the Tenant
representatives identified on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto (collectively “Tenant
Representatives”), a key fob (collectively, the “Key Fobs”) to obtain access to the Premises and
to obtain access to the Building during those afterhours specified on Exhibit “C”, attached hereto
(“Afterhours”). The Landlord will provide the Tenant up to six (6) Key Fobs. Exhibit B may be
revised from time to time, without need to amend this Lease, to reflect those Tenant
2
Representatives to whom the Landlord has delivered a Key Fob. The Afterhours are those hours
that the Tenant may access the Building outside those hours the Landlord provides public access
to the Building as described on Exhibit B, provided the Tenant may only access the Building
during such Afterhours for the sole purpose of accessing the Premises. If the Tenant requires a
replacement Key Fob or fails to return the Key Fobs as required herein, in addition to any other
remedy, Landlord may impose a replacement charge. Tenant shall promptly inform the Landlord
of any lost Key Fob. Tenant shall be responsible for all damage to the Building and the
Premises, or property therein, due to unauthorized access to the Building or Premises as a result
of the Key Fobs provided to Tenant. Upon the expiration or early termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall return all Key Fobs to the Landlord.
7. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises for the purpose of office use and for no other
purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall not store, handle, use, or dispose of hazardous materials at the
Premises. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor bring
or keep anything in the Premises which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any
fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause cancellation of any
insurance policy covering said Building or any part thereof or any of its contents. Tenant shall
not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or
interfere with: (i) the rights of other occupants of the Building, including Landlord and its
invitees, agents and employees; (ii) the conduct of Landlord’s operations and affairs in the
Building; or (iii) the public’s right to use and access the Building, as such public use and access
rights are established by Landlord. Tenant shall not injure or annoy other occupants of or
visitors to the Building, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about
the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the
Premises. This Lease grants the Tenant no right to use any portion of the Building other than the
Premises.
8. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance
or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may be enacted in the future
(collectively “Laws”). Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all Laws
and with the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar bodies
relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural
changes not related to or affected by Tenant’s authorized improvements or acts. Tenant shall,
throughout the term of this Lease, and at its sole expense, keep and maintain the Premises in a
clean, safe, and sanitary.
9. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, and except as
provided herein, any such alterations, additions or improvements including, but not limited to,
wall covering, paneling and built-in cabinet work, but excluding movable furniture and trade
fixtures, shall on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease belong to the Landlord and
shall be surrendered with the Premises. In the event Landlord consents to the making of any
alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises, the same shall be made by Tenant at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be performed in a good and workman like manner and in
accordance with applicable laws, and any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the
3
same must first be approved of in writing by the Landlord. Tenant shall, upon written demand
by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove any alterations, additions, or
improvements made by Tenant that are designated by Landlord to be removed, and Tenant shall
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant.
10. REPAIRS. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have
accepted the Premises as being in good and satisfactory condition and as being suitable for
Tenant’s intended purposes. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Premises
in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall, upon the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease, surrender the Premises to the Landlord in the same condition
as they were on the Commencement Date, subject to alterations approved by Landlord,
reasonable wear and tear accepted. Before surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall remove all of
it personal property and trade fixtures and such alterations or additions to the Premises made by
Tenant as may be specified for removal in a written notice from Landlord given at the time of
Landlord’s consent to the alteration or addition. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property
and fixtures upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the same shall, at Landlord’s
option, be removed from the Premises and stored at Tenant’s expense or be deemed abandoned
and shall become the property of the Landlord. Tenant’s surrender obligations shall survive the
expiration or early termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to
alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and the Tenant
affirms that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant with respect to the condition of the
Premises or the Building. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under
any Laws now or hereafter in effect.
11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign its interest in this Lease
or sublease any portion of the Premises without the Landlord prior written consent. Any
attempted assignment or sublease in violation of this Lease is void.
12. HOLD HARMLESS. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord (and its
officers, employees and agents) against and from any and all claims arising from Tenant’s (or
any permitted subtenant’s or assignee’s) use of the Premises for the conduct of its business or
from any activity, work, or other thing done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the
Building, and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord (and its officers, employees
and agents) against and from any and all claims arising from any default in the performance of
any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from
any act or negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of Tenant,
and from all and against all costs, attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection
with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought in connection therewith, and, in any
case, action or proceeding brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim. Tenant
assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to person, in, upon or about the Premises, from
any cause other than Landlord’s intentional misconduct, and Tenant waives all claims in respect
thereof against Landlord. Landlord (and its officers, employees and agents) shall not be liable
for (a) any damage to property entrusted to Landlord’s employees, nor for loss or damage to any
property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage to persons or property resulting
from any cause whatsoever, unless caused by Landlord’s intentional misconduct, (b) loss of
4
business by Tenant, or (c) any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building. Tenant shall give
prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or other casualty, accidents, or items requiring
maintenance, repair or replacement.
13. SUBROGATION. As long as their respective insurers so permit, Landlord and Tenant
mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss insured by fire,
extended coverage and other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective
parties. Each party shall obtain any special endorsement, if required by their insurer to evidence
compliance with this waiver.
14. TENANT’S INSURANCE.
(a) Throughout the Term Tenant shall keep in full force and effect, at its expense, a
policy of commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Premises and
the business of Tenant, including bodily injury, personal injury, and property
damage, in amounts of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000
aggregate using current ISO General Liability forms or equivalent, on an
occurrence basis, naming the Landlord as additional insured. The preceding
insurance limits shall not reduce Tenant’s liability under this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall, at its own costs and expense, maintain replacement cost insurance
including (i) “all risk” coverage, with extended coverage endorsement, for the
benefit of Tenant on all improvements within the Premises that Tenant is required
to maintain, repair, and/or replace regardless of whether or not Tenant owns such
improvements, and (ii) damage or loss to furniture, fixtures, equipment,
machinery, goods, supplies or personal property which Tenant may bring upon
the Premises or which may be furnished to Tenant by Landlord or any third party.
(c) All of Tenant’s insurance policies shall be maintained with a carrier licensed to
issue insurance in Minnesota and with an A rating or higher.
(d) Tenant’s insurance policies shall provide that thirty (30) days written notice must
be given to Landlord prior to cancellation thereof. Tenant shall furnish to
Landlord proof of Tenant’s insurance policies, satisfactory to Landlord, prior to
taking possession of the Premises and by January 15 of each calendar year during
the Term. In addition, upon Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall
provide copies of Tenant’s then-current insurance policies, Landlord shall be
named as an additional insured for liability insurance policies, and an additional
insured and loss payee for property insurance policies, as applicable. As often as
such policy or policies shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies
shall be procured by Tenant in a like manner and to like extent and Tenant shall
deliver evidence of such insurance renewal to Landlord prior to any such
expiration or termination.
15. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Landlord shall be responsible for furnishing heat, air
conditioning and electricity to the Premises during the Term. Landlord shall not be liable for,
and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any reduction of rent or damages by reason of failure to
5
furnish any of the foregoing services or utilities when such failure is caused by accident,
breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character,
or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar. Except as provided in this Section, Tenant shall be
responsible, at its own expense, for its own office services, furniture, furnishings and equipment,
including, without limitation, phone number/system, internet, computers, mailbox, mail service,
desks, chairs, file cabinets, copier, fax, and the like, at its own expense. Tenant shall be
responsible for its own janitorial services. Tenant shall also be responsible for collecting,
removing and disposing of its garbage and recycling from the Premises. Tenant may desposit
such garbage and recycling in the designated dumpsters and containers provided by the Landlord
located on the west side of the Building, provided only customary office waste and recycling
materials may be deposited in the Landlord’s dumpsters and containers.
16. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall observe and comply with the rules and
regulations that Landlord shall adopt from time to time (“Rules”). Rules shall be binding upon
Tenant upon written notice to Tenant.
17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and shall all times have the right to enter
the Premises, inspect the same, supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under
this Lease, to post notices of non-responsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and
any portion of the Building that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, without abatement of
rent. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees the Landlord shall have
the right to periodically enter the Premises in order to access, via the Premises, the elevator
maintenance room for the Building. Tenant waives any claim for damages or for any injury or
inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet

Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency or in order to obtain entry to the
Premises for the purposes described in this Section, all without liability to Tenant. Any entry to
the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any
circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of,

3. K. Approval of One Year Extension for Conditional Use Permit 159 - Lot 2 of Tennant
Companies PUD No. 114
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
On November 21, 2017, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit 159 which authorized the
construction of a 24-hour Residential Facility (Damascus Way) on Lot 2 of Tennant Companies PUD
No. 114. This project was anticipated to take place in conjunction with other redevelopment in the
area, including a new plat that modified the property boundaries in and around the proposed
location. Due to a complications regarding land transfers that were made as part of the construction
of Olson Memorial Highway, the new plat has not yet been recorded and construction of the facility
cannot commence.
Per City Code, construction and all other pertinent implementation relating to an approved
conditional use permit must begin within 12 months of the date that the permit is approved or the
permit shall be deemed null and void. The City Code also allows the City Council to grant an extension
for a period of up to 12 months.
Staff is recommending approval of a 12 month extension of the conditional use permit to November
20, 2019.

Connection with Tax Increment Financing District (Redevelopment) Winnetka Avenue and
Medicine Lake Road.
RESOLUTION NO. 18-68
RESOLUTION AMENDING 16-61 APPROVING AN INTERFUND LOAN IN CONNECTION
WITH TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT (REDEVELOPMENT), WINNETKA
AVENUE & MEDICINE LAKE ROAD
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
“City”), as follows:
1. Recitals.
(a) The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley (the “HRA”)
and the City adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Winnetka and Medicine Lake
Road Project Area (the “Plan”), together with the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the
“TIF Plan”) for Tax Increment Financing District (Redevelopment), Winnetka Avenue
North & Medicine Lake Road No. 1 (the “District”); all pursuant to and in conformity
with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all
inclusive, as amended (the “Act”).
(b) In accordance with the TIF Plan, the HRA has agreed to undertake a project with
Liberty Crossing Investment Partners, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company
(the “Developer”), consisting of a five-story apartment building with approximately
187 apartments and approximately 55 townhomes, plus parking, landscaping,
utilities and certain other improvements (the “Development”), all pursuant to a
Private Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) entered into with
the Developer on April 29, 2016.
(c) In support of the Development, the City is issuing its General Obligation Storm
Sewer Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) to finance storm water flood containment and
storage improvements within the District.
(d) In connection with the Development, the City authorized by written resolution dated
December 15, 2015 an interfund loan of $1,000,000 to the HRA from the City’s
Storm Utility Fund, and the HRA approved the interfund loan by written resolution
dated April 12, 2016 (the “Prior Interfund Loan”). Pursuant to Section 3.7 of the
Development Agreement, the HRA paid Developer $1,000,000 to accommodate the
installation of a large underground storm water storage basin beneath the
Development.
(e) The HRA has approved on October 13, 2016 an additional interfund loan from the
City to the HRA in the amount of $1,500,000 to pay qualified costs of private activity
improvements relating to the Development (the “Current Interfund Loan”). On
October 16, 2018 this amount was reduced to $1,050,000.
(f) The Bonds will be a general obligation of the City, secured by its full faith and credit
and taxing power. The City will also pledge net revenues of the storm sewer utility to
the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. The City expects to use tax
increment revenues derived from the Development to first, repay the interfund loans
and second, pay debt service on the Bonds.
Resolution No. 18-68 -2-
2. Approval of the Current Interfund Loan.
(a) The City hereby authorizes the loan of up to $1,500,000 to the HRA from its Storm
Utility Fund or other funds available or so much thereof as may be paid as qualified
costs. The City shall be reimbursed such amount, together with interest at the rate
stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each loan.
The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the
rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09, as of
the date the loan is made, unless the written agreement states that the maximum
interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09, are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate
shall be 4% and will not fluctuate.
(b) Principal and interest (“Payments”) on the outstanding Current Interfund Loan
balance shall be paid semi-annually in two (2) equal installments per year, each
installment to be paid within ten (10) business days of receipt by the City of property
tax revenues from Hennepin County (the “Payment Dates”), commencing on the first
Payment Date on which the City has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on
any other dates determined by the City Finance Director, through the date of last
receipt of tax increment from the HRA pursuant to the TIF Plan.
(c) Payments on this Current Interfund Loan are payable solely from “Available Tax
Increment,” which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after
other obligations, if any, have been paid for the preceding six (6) months with
respect to the Development Property and remitted by Hennepin County, all in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended.
Payments on this Current Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or
future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax
Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans
secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
(d) The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Current Interfund Loan
are pre-payable in whole or in part at any time by the HRA without premium or
penalty. No partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular
payment otherwise required to be made under this Current Interfund Loan.
(e) This Current Interfund Loan is evidence of a loan in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.178, subdivision 7, and is a limited obligation payable solely
from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution.
Adopted by the City Council of Golden Valley, Minnesota this 16th day of October, 2018.

3. M. Agreement for 2019 Bike Lane Improvement Project Design and Construction Professional
Services
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, P.E., City Engineer
R.J. Kakach, P.E. Assistant City Engineer
Summary
In 2018, the City developed a Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update that included proposed
pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Based on the recommendations from the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Task Force, several corridors in the City have been identified for designated on-street bike lanes.
The proposed segments are listed below:
• Sandburg Road/Nevada Avenue from Medicine Lake Road to Douglas Drive
• Olympia Street from Winnetka Avenue to Douglas Drive
• 10th Avenue from Mendelssohn Avenue to Winnetka Avenue
• 10th Avenue/Rhode Island Avenue from Winnetka Avenue to TH 55
• Golden Valley Road from Rhode Island Avenue to Douglas Drive
• Boone Avenue from Plymouth Avenue to Golden Valley Road/7th Avenue
• Decatur Avenue/7th Avenue/Golden Valley Road north of TH 55 to Wisconsin Avenue
• Pennsylvania Avenue from Wayzata Boulevard to Laurel Avenue
• Laurel Avenue from Pennsylvania Avenue to Turners Crossroad
• Wayzata Boulevard from General Mills Boulevard to Texas Avenue
As part of the project, these corridors will be designated with on street bikes lanes using
pavement markings and signage. Some proposed bike lanes are located along Municipal State Aid
(MSA) routes and therefore will be designed and constructed in accordance with MSA design
standards. All property owners adjacent to the each proposed bike lane as well as members from
the Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force will be invited to a neighborhood open house. Staff will
also work with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District throughout preliminary and final
design.
The total cost for SEH to provide design and construction services for the 2019 Bike Lane
Improvement Project is $154,084. Anticipated funding for these services is included in the 2019
Street CIP Program (S-030) in the amount of $325,000.

City Engineer
City of Golden Valley

Golden Valley, MN 55247 4588
Dear Jeff:
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City of Golden Valley in providing professional engineering
services for the bike lane improvements along various planned bicycle corridors within the City. The
City is requesting a scope of work for completing preliminary design, final design, bidding documents,
and construction engineering services. This letter serves as the supplemental Letter Agreement in
accordance with the Agreement for Professional Services between the City of Golden Valley and SEH.
Background
As part of the City Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update, the City has adopted a pedestrian and
bicycle plan that defines existing and future sidewalks, on-street bicycle lanes and off-street multi-use
trails. In all, over 38 miles of new facilities have been identified. Implementation of the plan began in
2017 with construction of on-street bike lanes incorporated into Hennepin County’s pavement
rehabilitation project on Glenwood Avenue. Similarly, in 2018, bike lanes will soon be installed along
Plymouth Avenue as part of the City’s rehabilitation project for that corridor. This proposal is to provide
services to assist the City with implementation of up to seven miles of on street bike facilities in
accordance with the approved plan. The intent of this project is to implement as much of the planned
bikeways as possible within the approved budget. While the project will focus on increasing the City’s
functioning system of bike lane miles, it may also require modest level of improvements to facilitate safe
crossings, or transitions from one bike facility type to another.
A City wide map is attached; highlighted on the map are the on-street bike facilities to be considered in
this design proposal, and as follows:
Sandberg Road/Nevada Avenue from Medicine Lake Road to Douglas Drive
Olympia Street from Winnetka Avenue to Douglas Drive
10th Avenue from Mendelssohn Road to Winnetka Avenue
10th Avenue/Rhode Island Avenue from Winnetka Avenue to Highway 55
Golden Valley Road from Rhode Island Avenue to Douglas Drive
Boone Avenue Plymouth Avenue to Golden Valley Road/7th Avenue
Decatur Avenue, 7th Avenue and Golden Valley Road from north of TH 55 to Wisconsin Avenue
Pennsylvania Avenue from Wayzata Boulevard to Laurel Avenue
Laurel Avenue from Pennsylvania Avenue to Turners Crossroad
Wayzata Boulevard from General Mills Boulevard to Texas Avenue
Golden Valley Bike Lanes
October 10, 2018

Scope of Work
Agency and Public Meetings
SEH has included time for one kick-off project meeting with the City, plus two design review meetings
during the completion of the plans. Coordination meetings will also be held with the Hennepin County
and/or Three Rivers Parks District staff as needed. Also planned is a public open house meeting. The
City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force members will be invited to the open house along with property
owners along each proposed bicycle facility.
Preliminary Design
The scope of work for this project includes development of preliminary layouts for bike lanes to
determine feasibility of implementation and to identify potential project impacts and costs.
Bike lane plans will be developed using aerial background mapping as a base map. Field review will be
performed to confirm existing street widths, identify constraints, and develop an inventory of traffic signs
and pavement markings along the planned routes so that plans can be developed for the bike lanes. A
limited amount of topographic survey data will be collected in critical locations if necessary.
Bike lanes may require reduction of on-street parking along some routes. Businesses or homeowners
impacted by the proposed change will be engaged. SEH will also coordinate proposed changes with
Metro Transit as needed.
SEH will prepare a preliminary design plan and memorandum that summarizes the preliminary findings
along with a preliminary project cost estimate. The project will be funded by local funds. Some bike lanes
are along Municipal State Aid (MSA) routes; therefore MSA design standards will be followed. SEH
assumes that design exceptions or MSA variances will not be pursued. Determination of the project
elements that will be carried into the final design phase will be made by the City.
Final Design and Bidding Documents
SEH will further develop plans and specifications for all project elements selected by the City based upon
the findings of the preliminary design phase. SEH will coordinate State Aid review of plans.
Specifications and cost estimates will be developed. There will be minimal or no change to impervious
surfaces, therefore the need for water resources permits is not expected. SEH will be available to answer
design related questions during bidding and will develop contracts for the City to complete.
Construction Services
SEH will provide construction engineering and administrative support services. A preconstruction
meeting will be held prior to beginning of the contractors work. SEH will provide RPR services to
confirm that work is being performed in accordance with the plans and specifications. SEH will process
contract documents and contractor pay requests in accordance with City practices. SEH will prepare as-
built drawings to record changes that may occur during the course of construction.
Project Team
Mike Kotila will be the Project Manager and will coordinate the final design and other technical
production work. Heather Kienitz, SEH’s multi-modal specialist, will advise on technical aspects of the
bike plans utilizing best practices for on-street bike facilities. John Gray will evaluate and prepare traffic

Golden Valley City Council Meeting

Agenda Item
4. A. Public Hearing - Zoning Text Amendment - Recodifying the Zoning Code in its Entirety
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
As part of an effort to clean-up outdated language in the City Code and to create consistency in
references and between sections, staff from a variety of departments have worked with the City
Clerk over the last year and a half to prepare for a recodification. Once completed, the code will
be accessible online through a third party which will be responsible for maintaining and updating
the text, as is done in many neighboring communities and across the country. This process was
begun in 2017 and is concluding with public hearings at the Planning Commission and City
Council.
Through the recodification process, Planning staff was directed to take the opportunity to
address a number of desired changes in the Zoning Chapter. In 2017, problem areas were
identified and new language was drafted. In May and June of 2018, staff reviewed the changes
with the Planning Commission and City Council. Based on feedback, adjustments were made and
the Planning Commission considered the new language on September 24.
One resident provided written feedback on the changes being proposed for the section of code
dealing with Outdoor Storage. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
recodification as presented (5-0), though a handful of questions were raised for future
investigation.
Overview
When preparing for the recodification process, staff assigned each potential zoning change to
one of three categories:
(A) Items that could be considered housekeeping, including updating titles and references,
modernizing language, and reordering and simplifying the Code
(B) Policy changes that staff had identified and vetted in some fashion with the Planning
Commission and City Council or as part of wider departmental discussions
(C) Policy changes that have not been vetted and need additional discussion and analysis before
being considered as zoning text amendments
At this time, staff has included items in category A and category B in the recodification process.
Items in category C will be addressed as part of future Commission and Council agendas.
Category A Items
Items in the area address issues such as reorganizing the chapter contents, simplifying language,
and ensuring all zoning regulations are consistent with other State statutes. A partial list of
changes includes:
1. Updating language to be more contemporary and straightforward throughout the Code
2. Reordering sections: moving Administration and Violations up front, adding Site Plan Review
to Administration section, combining some other elements (Seasonal Farm Produce,
Temporary Retail Sales) into one Temporary Uses section
3. Merging separate Interpretation section into Administration
4. Reorganizing the content of Zoning District sections – creating consistency in what is
addressed and the order in which it is listed
5. Adding a “nuisance” clause to the Non-Conforming Use subdivision of Administration
6. Updating requirements for processing Variances in order to be consistent with State Statute
7. Updating language in Definitions section, removed some outdated terms
8. Moving limits in change of Average Grade for new Principal Structures from Definitions to
Zoning District sections
9. Adding language regarding when Zoning Permits are needed
10. Adding Residential Facilities serving six or fewer persons to R-2 Permitted Uses
11. Updating language in Sexually Oriented Business section as per City Attorney
12. Updating language and regulations in the Telecommunications section, including adding
regulations for the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District
13. Updating requirements for processing Conditional Use Permits in order to be consistent with
State statute
Category B Items
There are generally six areas where policy changes of varying significance are being proposed.
These include:
1. Updating language to handle Tax Parcel Divisions
2. Minor changes to how Conditional Use Permits are managed
3. Changes to language regarding the height of flat roofs and accessory structures
4. The addition of density caps in R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts
5. Modifications to public amenity provisions for PUDs
6. Revisions to how Outdoor Storage is regulated across many Zoning Districts
Each of these six areas is described in more detail in the attached memo to the Planning
Commission.
Category C Items
At this time, staff is aware of a handful of additional changes that will need to be researched and
vetted with the Planning Commission and City Council prior to submission for review and
approval. These include:
1. Modernizing the Business and Professional Offices Zoning District
2. Adopting Architectural and Material Standards
3. Researching the use of a Pedestrian Overlay for Douglas Drive
4. Revising and adopting a new Mixed Use Zoning District
5. Reviewing current permitted and conditional use tables for all zoning districts
6. Revisiting parking requirements for all uses
7. Revising requirements around the one foot limit on the increase in average grade for new
single family homes and duplexes
8. Reviewing paved area requirements for all zoning districts
If approved, the new zoning language would take effect on October 25, 2018.

2. Minor changes to how Conditional Use Permits are managed

4. The addition of density caps in R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts
5. Modifications to public amenity provisions for PUDs
6. Revisions to how Outdoor Storage is regulated across many Zoning Districts
Each of these six areas is described in more detail below.
Tax Parcel Divisions
As the City processes with more frequency requests to "uncombine" lots of record that were
assigned a common property ID number at some point in the past, it has become necessary to
2
update existing language in the Zoning Code. Staff discussed this topic with the City Council in
November of 2017 and has used that conversation to guide the proposed changes. While the City
cannot generally prohibit the use of these parcels for development, it can ensure certain
structural nonconformities be avoided and that neighboring property owners are made aware of
the pending changes.
Proposed Language
Tax Parcel Division or Combination.
(a) The City shall review the division or combination of tax parcels by the County in order to
ensure that structural nonconformities are not created as a result of the division or
combination.
(b) A request to divide or combine tax parcels must be approved by the City prior to the
addition or removal of a property ID by the County.
(c) A request for approval of a tax parcel division or combination shall be accompanied by
the submission of a property survey in order to demonstrate conformance with this
chapter. Upon finding that all City requirements have been met, the City Manager or
his/her designee shall grant approval for the tax parcel division or combination, as
established and defined by the County.
(d) Once approved, the City shall notify by mail all property owners within 250 feet of the
subject site.
Conditional Use Permits
The current Zoning Code lacks any regulation to trigger an expiration of a CUP if it goes unused
for an extended length of time. New language would cause an unused CUP to expire after 12
consecutive months. In addition, the proposed changes write into code the ability for a CUP to be
amended if changes are requested. Previously, the code only contemplated the revocation of the
old CUP and the issuance of a new CUP.
Proposed Language
Unless extended by the City Council in its sole discretion for an additional period of up to 12
months, construction and all other pertinent implementation relating to an approved conditional
use permit must begin within 12 months of the date that the conditional use permit is approved
or the conditional use permit shall be deemed null and void. If the approved conditional use
should cease for a period of more than 12 consecutive months the conditional use permit shall
be deemed to have expired
Changes to an approved conditional use permit affecting uses parking and loading or
components other than minor changes shall require amendment to the conditional use permit by
the City. The requirements for application and approval of a conditional use permit amendment
shall be the same as the requirements for original application and approval
Height
Previously, the maximum height of pitched and flat roofs in residential Zoning Districts differed
by type of roof. With the addition of the "tent-shaped" building envelope as a regulatory concept
3
in 2015, the difference in height limits is no longer needed. The tapered building envelope, by
definition, forces flat roofed buildings to step back as they increase in height. This proposed
change in code would help address a situation that has been the subject of a handful of variances
over the past three years.
In addition, language around the height of accessory structures has been adjusted to clarify how
shed roofs are measured.
It should be noted that the revised code leaves in place, for now, the one foot limit on an
increase in the average grade for a new structure in the R-1 and R-2 Zoning Districts. Staff will
return to this limitation in the near future, as this regulation can create issues with trying to
establish proper drainage on a lot as required by building code.
Current Language
Building Height: The vertical distance or height of a structure shall be measured from the average
grade at the front building line (street side) to the average height of the highest pitched roof or
the highest point of a flat roof structure. The grade or average grade of a lot is established at the
time of subdivision approval by the City. If the grade or average grade was not established at the
time of subdivision approval by the City, the City Manager or his/her designee shall establish the
average grade prior to construction of the structure. In the case where a house or structure has
been removed from a lot for the construction of a new house or structure, the average grade for
the new house or structure shall be no more than one (1) foot higher than the grade or average
grade that existed for the house or structure that was removed. In the case of a corner lot, the
average grade is taken from all sides of the house or structure facing the street.
Height Limitations. No principal structure shall be erected in the R-1 Zoning District with a
building height exceeding twenty-eight (28) feet for pitched roof houses and twenty-five (25) feet
for flat roof houses.
No accessory structure shall be erected in the R-1 Zoning District to exceed a height of one (1)
story, which is ten (10) feet from the floor to the top horizontal member of a frame building to
which the rafters are fastened, known as the top plate.
Proposed Language
Building Height: The vertical distance or height of a structure shall be measured from the average
grade at the front building line (street side) to the average height of the highest pitched roof or
the highest point of a flat roof structure. In the case of a corner lot, the average grade is
measured from all sides of the structure facing a street. The grade or average grade of a lot is
established at the time of subdivision approval by the City. If the grade or average grade was not
established at the time of subdivision approval by the City, the City Manager or his/her designee
shall establish the average grade prior to construction of the structure.
Height Restrictions. No principal structure shall be erected in the R-1 zoning district with a
building height exceeding 28 feet as measured from the average grade at the front building line.
4
The average grade for a new structure shall be no more than one foot higher than the average
grade that previously existed on the lot.
No accessory structure shall be erected in the R-1 zoning district with a height in excess of one
story, which is 10 feet from the floor to the top horizontal component of a frame building to
which the rafters are fastened (known as the "top plate"). For the purposes of this regulation, the
height of a shed roof shall be measured to the top plate.
Residential Density
No density limits currently exist for senior and disability housing in the R-3 Zoning District or for
any uses in the R-4 Zoning District. New language would establish the maximum densities allowed
and would be consistent with the residential densities proposed in the draft 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.
Current Language
The purpose of the Medium Density Residential Zoning District (R-3) is to provide for medium
density housing (up to ten (10) units per acre with potential for twelve (12) units per acre with
density bonuses) along with directly related and complementary uses. Senior and physical
disability housing is permitted to a density in excess of twelve (12) units per acre or up to five (5)
stories or sixty (60) feet in height with a Conditional Use Permit.
The purpose of the High Density Residential Zoning District (R-4) is to provide for high density
housing (over twelve (12) units per acre) along with directly related and complimentary uses.
Proposed Language
The purpose of the Medium Density Residential (R-3) Zoning District is to provide for medium
density housing (up to 10 units per acre with potential for 12 units per acre with density bonuses)
along with directly related and complementary uses. Senior and disability housing is permitted to
a density of 20 units per acre or up to five stories or 60 feet in height with a conditional use
permit.
The purpose of the High Density Residential (R-4) Zoning District is to provide for high density
housing (up to 50 units per acre for multifamily dwellings and up to 70 units per acre for senior
and disability housing) along with directly related and complementary uses. Multifamily dwellings
and senior and disability housing is permitted to a density of 100 units per acre with a conditional
use permit.
Planned Unit Developments
Language for PUDs would be updated to reflect changes to amenity options, as well as adjusting
one of the triggers for a Minor PUD Amendment.
Proposed Language
Intent and Purpose. It is the intent of this section to provide an optional method of regulating
land use which permits flexibility from the other provisions of the City Code, including flexibility
5
in uses allowed, setbacks, height, parking requirements, number of buildings on a lot, and similar
regulations in exchange for public benefit in the form of amenities.
PUD Amenity Options
Green Roof

Outdoor Storage
The subject of outdoor storage has been discussed numerous times with the Planning
Commission and the City Council over the past two years. The proposed code below attempts to
6
address the majority of the concerns often cited by residents while also protecting the rights of
property owners. In summary, the new language does the following things:
1. Moves regulations about outdoor storage from each zoning district into one section of the
Zoning Code, along with fencing and screening requirements.
2. Helps to clarify language around where and how outdoor storage can take place in the front,
side, and rear yards of residential properties.
3. Establishes a limit of 30 days for landscaping or construction materials in the front yards of
residential properties.
4. Establishes screening standards for storage in side and rear yards.
5. Allows the storage of automobile dealership inventory in Light Industrial and Industrial Zoning
Districts with a Conditional Use Permit, and in parking ramps with the permission of the
property owner.
6. Strengthens language around the screening of mechanical equipment (rooftop or otherwise)
in all Zoning Districts.
Proposed Language
(a) Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a
different meaning:
Berm: An earthen mound designed to provide visual interest on a site, screen undesirable
views, reduce noise, or fulfill other similar purposes.
Fence: A structural enclosure or barrier used as a boundary, means of protection, or
concealment.
Front Yard: The portion of a lot between the street right-of-way and the front plane of the
principal structure. This area may be deeper than the yard required by the front yard
setback.
Screening: A method of visually shielding or obscuring one abutting or nearby structure or
use from another by fencing, walls, berms, or densely planted vegetation.
Trailer: An unpowered vehicle used for multiple purposes, including, but not limited to,
hauling a boat, personal motorized recreational vehicle, or fish house.
(b) General regulations. All zoning districts are subject to the following requirements:
(1) The side of a fence without primary structural supports shall be considered the
finished side and must face outward from the property on which it is constructed
towards the adjacent property and/or street. If a fence has two similarly finished
sides, either side may face the adjacent property and/or street.
(2) All berms, screening, and fences, including fence footings, must be located entirely on
the property for which they are being constructed. A property owner installing a new
fence must accurately determine lot lines prior to installing a fence.
(3) All berms, screening, and fences shall be maintained and kept in good repair by
property owners. Any hazardous fence or fence in a state of disrepair shall be repaired
or removed by the property owner within 30 days of notice by the City. If a property
owner fails to comply with such notice, in addition to all other applicable penalties
7
under City Code, the City may remove the fence and assess the property owner the
cost of such removal.
(4) All berms, screening, and fences shall comply with the right-of-way management
regulations of the City Code.
(5) Electrified fences are prohibited. Barbed wire fences are prohibited except in the light
industrial or industrial zoning districts as described below.
(6) For all other standards related to visual nuisances and threats to the health, safety,
and welfare of the community, the City's adopted International Property Maintenance
Code shall apply.
(c) Regulations by zoning district. Fences and the screening of outdoor storage shall be governed
by the following provisions:
(1) All residential zoning districts.
a. Fences in all front yards shall not exceed four feet in height. Fences in side and
rear yards shall not exceed six feet in height.
b. Storage in all front yards may occur solely upon a driveway and in no other
location. Any storage shall be behind the lot line.
c. Only one of the following may be stored in all front yards of any lot:
1. Recreational camping vehicle.
2. Trailer.
d. No personal motorized recreational vehicle or boat may be stored in a front yard,
except upon a trailer.
e. The storage in any front yard of landscaping or construction materials may not
exceed 30 days.
f. Items stored in the side and rear yard may not be stored within five feet of the lot
line.
g. All outdoor storage, including any storage of a motorized vehicle, recreational
camping vehicle, fish house, trailer, boat, or personal motorized recreational
vehicle, in the side or rear yard must be screened from view of adjacent properties
by a wall or fence not more than six feet in height and not less than 75 percent
opacity, or by vegetation of not less than six feet in height and not less than 75
percent opacity year round.
h. Views of storage in any side or rear yard from the street right-of-way must be at
least 50 percent obscured by screening.
i. All mechanical equipment, including rooftop units, shall be screened from view
from the street right-of-way.
(2) All other zoning districts.
a. Fences shall not exceed eight feet in height except as noted below.
b. Barbed wire fences are permitted in light industrial and industrial zoning districts.
No barbed wire shall be erected upon any fence at a height lower than seven feet.
c. No materials or equipment shall be stored outside, unless screened in such a
manner as not to be visible from adjacent properties or street right-of-way. All
outdoor storage shall be screened by a wall, fence, or vegetation not less than six
8
-feet in height and not less than 90 percent opacity year round. No storage shall be
permitted within required landscaped areas.
d. Storage of automobile sales inventory on surface lots is allowed by conditional use
permit in the Light Industrial and Industrial Zoning Districts. With the permission of
the property owner, automobile sales inventory may be stored in parking ramps in
the business and professional offices zoning district. The City reserves the right to
disallow this storage if parking for the principal uses is negatively impacted.
e. A solid screen, consisting of either a solid fence or wall not less than six feet in
height, or a planted landscape screen providing at least 90 percent opacity year
round and at least six feet in height at the time of planting, shall be installed and
maintained along all lot lines separating an Industrial Zoning District from any
Residential or Institutional Zoning District.
f. All waste material, debris, refuse, junk or damaged vehicles, or vehicles under
repair or being stored in connection with repair services, shall be either kept
entirely within an enclosed building or completely screened from adjacent
properties and street rights-of-way.
g. All mechanical equipment, including rooftop units, shall be screened from view
from the street right-of-way.
(d) Exceptions. Any deviation from this section shall require a variance in accordance with this
chapter except for the following:
(1) Tennis and basketball courts in all zoning districts may have a single perimeter fence
no higher than 10 feet. Such fences shall be located to the rear of the principal
structure and shall require a minimum three foot strip of landscaping around the
entire perimeter.

2. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment—Zoning Code
Recodification — ZO00-116
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider replacing Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) in its entirety as part
of the 2018 recodification of the City Code.
Zimmerman stated that staff has been working with the City Clerk since 2017 to update
the City Code, including changes to the Zoning Chapter. He explained that the proposed
changes were broken into three categories. Category A consists of "housekeeping" items
which include updating titles and references, modernizing language, and reordering and
simplifying the Code. Category B items deal with policy changes that have been vetted
with the Planning Commission, City Council and/or wider departmental discussions.
Category C items include policy changes that have not been vetted and need additional
discussion and analysis before consideration.
Baker asked if category B items could be moved to category C. Zimmerman said they
potentially could be, but the recodification is set to go to the City Council in October. He
added that there is still some time to make modifications and there will be opportunities to
change things at a later date through the regular Zoning Code Text Amendment process.
Zimmerman referred to the category B items and discussed them each specifically. The
first proposed amendment would update the Code language to handle Tax Parcel
Divisions or Combinations. He explained that the new Code language will ensure
structural nonconformities are not created; it will require approval by the City before action
by the County to do a Tax Parcel Division; it will require the submittal of a survey in order
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 2
to demonstrate conformance with zoning regulations; and it will require notification by mail
to properties within 250 feet.
Johnson asked if it is possible for a property owner to go directly to the County to do a Tax
Parcel Division. Zimmerman said no because the County requires that the City sign off on
the paperwork.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with Conditional Use
Permits. The proposed new language states that a Conditional Use Permit shall expire if
the use ceases for a period of more than 12 consecutive months, and it requires that
changes other than minor changes shall require an amendment to the Conditional Use
Permit.
Baker asked if the Conditional Use Permit amendment process is different from applying
for an initial Conditional Use Permit. Zimmerman stated that the amendment process
would be the same and would have the same public hearing and notification requirements.
Segelbaum asked if the current Conditional Use Permit amendment process requires the
applicant to relinquish their existing Conditional Use Permit and re-apply for a new one.
Zimmerman said that potentially is how it would currently be handled.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with the height of homes. He
stated that the proposed new language would make homes with flat roofs subject to the
same "tent-shaped" or tapered building envelope as pitched roofs so a difference in height
limits (25 feet for flat roofs, 28 feet for pitched roofs) is no longer needed, and that the
proposed new language provides clarification on the height allowed for shed roofs on
accessory structures.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with residential density in the
R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts. The proposed language revises the R-3 Zoning District from
12 units per acre for senior use to 20 units per acre for senior use with a Conditional Use
Permit. The proposed language also revises the R-4 Zoning District and establishes a
maximum density of 50 units per acre or 70 units per acre for senior use and a density of
up to 100 units per acre with a Conditional Use Permit. He added that this proposed
language captures what the City is currently doing.
Segelbaum stated that the trend is for fairly dense, small apartment units and he worries
that those types of units aren't sustainable over the long term. He asked about the density
of some of the recently constructed apartment buildings. Zimmerman noted that the Arcata
project is the most dense and that all of the others were less dense than that project.
Baker asked if any thought was given to offering incentives for affordable housing.
Zimmerman stated that the City recently adopted the Mixed-Income Housing Policy.
Goellner added that a reduction in the number of parking spaces is allowed in the Policy
as an incentive as well.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 3
Segelbaum said he is concerned about allowing 100 units per acre and he worries about
having too many buildings with small units and if that is really sustainable. Zimmerman
stated that Golden Valley is a fully developed city so developers need a certain amount of
density to make redevelopment feasible.
Baker asked if smaller units are a trend. Zimmerman said yes, the trend is smaller units
with more amenities and shared spaces. Segelbaum agreed that currently there are no
maximum density levels so the proposed language might be helpful. Zimmerman added
that there are many other factors besides density that developers have to consider such
as parking, traffic, etc. Baker said he doesn't want the City to end up with a lot of vacant,
tiny units. Johnson said it is even more dangerous if the City pays for it with TIF.
Segelbaum said he would like more context of what types of existing projects have 50
units per acre. Baker said he would like staff to look more deeply into offering incentives
for affordable housing.
Zimmerman stated that the next proposed amendment deals with Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs). He explained that the Intent and Purpose section has been revised
to reflect public benefit in the form of amenities; amenity points are allowed for additional
affordable units provided; minor modifications have made to the other amenity categories;
and one criteria for a Minor Amendment has been adjusted to state that an increase in
gross floor area, rather than a change in gross floor area is a trigger for the amendment.
Johnson asked about the definition of public art. Zimmerman said it is art that is in the
public realm or viewable from the public realm. Johnson asked if it could be on private
property. Zimmerman said yes.
Blum referred to the removal of underground parking as a PUD amenity and suggested
that a percentage of underground parking be assigned to incentivize it. He added there is
value in having underground parking in regard to the amount of pavement as well as the
visual impact of parked cars. He said there has also been discussion about putting parking
lots alongside the roadway in gateway areas so he thinks the underground parking
amenity points should remain in some way. Segelbaum agreed that underground parking
should be encouraged.
Baker said it has always struck him that the amenity options aren't scaled in any way. He
said he wishes there was more guidance on why the points are given the way they are.
Zimmerman said there is some suggested weighting in the Zoning Code and that a lot of
the weight of the points comes through the Planning Commission and City Council public
hearing process where there is a review and relative ranking of importance of the amenity
items. Baker questioned why there isn't incentive to make developers do a lot of good
things and get more amenity points than just requiring them to get five points and do
nothing else. Zimmerman noted that there haven't been any PUD proposals since the
adoption of the amenity point language. He stated that before the amenity point language
was added to the Code there was no guidance at all so this language gives the City a way
to reflect to a developer what the City's preferences are. Segelbaum stated that the size of
the PUD should be reflected in the size of the points given and that there isn't any
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 4
quantification. He gave the example of a developer receiving amenity points for providing
just a small solar power project. Goellner clarified that the Code states that 50% of the
energy has to be from renewable energy in order to get the amenity points. Blum stated
that a catch all statement could be adding that says all of the factors should be appropriate
or reasonable for the scale of the development. It could then be at the City's discretion to
determine what is appropriate and reasonable. Baker agreed it would be good to reinforce
some type of scaling with the number of amenity points given.
Johnson said it would be good to see some feedback from the market to help figure out
how to gauge if the customer is happy with the PUD language and amenity points. Baker
agreed and said it would be good to know if the City is providing a disincentive for PUDs.
Segelbaum asked if there is way to track development proposals that staff see but then for
whatever reason go away. Zimmerman said yes and added that there have only been a
couple over the past few years.
Zimmerman stated that the last proposed amendment deals with outdoor storage. He
explained that the proposed new language clarifies where and how outdoor storage can
take place in the front, side, and rear yards of residential properties; it establishes a limit of
30 days for landscaping materials to be kept in front yards; it establishes screening
standards for storage in side and rear yards; it allows auto dealership inventory storage in
the Light Industrial and Industrial Zoning Districts with a Conditional Use Permit and in
parking ramps with the permission of the owner; and it strengthens language around the
screening of mechanical equipment in all zoning districts.
Baker said he realizes that the Planning Commission has had several discussions about
outdoor storage and asked to what degree the proposed language adheres to the
Planning Commission consensus and what was taken into consideration and what was
not. Zimmerman explained that staff brought a summary of the Planning Commission
discussions to a Council/Manager meeting. He stated that a lot of the proposed changes
were about how to provide screening in side yards and looking from the street into
people's properties because it is difficult to screen items 100% while still being able to
access them. He added that the proposed language requires items in a side yard to be
stored five feet from the property rather than the current requirement of three feet. He
noted that some of the Planning Commissioners had suggested that items stored in a side
yard be required to follow the same setback requirements as the house, but the City
Council felt that was too much to require. He stated that the City Council did agree with the
Planning Commission in regard to auto dealership inventory storage.
Blum said he is interested in exploring any conflicts the proposed Zoning Code language
might have with the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) and how people are
supposed to know what is appropriate and what to follow. Zimmerman stated that Planning
staff worked closely with Fire staff in this process and tried to make the language and
definitions consistent. He explained that the IPMC deals more with unhealthy and unsafe
conditions and that the Zoning Code deals more with aesthetic issues.
Pockl asked if a definition for storage has been considered. Zimmerman said it has not
because it is helpful to leave the definition a little open to interpretation so that staff can
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
September 24, 2018
Page 5
work with people when necessary. He said he agreed that it might be helpful to provide
residents some more guidance as to what is allowed and what is not.
Blum referred to the proposed language about screening and stated that it seems
inconsistent to state that screening is required in side and rear yards but to not ask for
screening for items in front yards. Zimmerman clarified that items are not allowed to be
stored in front yards except for on a driveway. Blum asked if an RV can be stored on a
driveway indefinitely. Zimmerman said yes.
Baker asked if there are rules regarding the number of cars a person can have on their
driveway. Zimmerman said there is not a limit in the number of cars, but everything else
has to be stored in a garage, or in a side yard or rear yard and screened.
Blum referred to the language regarding the screening of mechanical equipment and said
that it seems to restrict other items that the City might not want screened such as solar
panels, satellites, etc. Baker suggested using more specific language rather than saying
"mechanical equipment." Zimmerman said staff can work on the language to be more
specific about what is allowed and what is not.
Zimmerman stated that the next step in recodification process is the first consideration for
all chapters except the Zoning chapter at the City Council on October 2 and a second
consideration for the entire Code on October 16.
Blum said he would like to submit neighborhood signage at entrances or common
roadways and sunset clauses for a number of items as Category C items for future
consideration.
Baker opened the public hearing.
Zimmerman referred to an email he received that had similar concerns about the definition
of storage and concerns about placing too much burden on homeowners to provide
screening.
Angell said he would like to note that he thinks having some room for interpretation in the
Zoning Code can be helpful when dealing with outdoor storage issues and that he is
supportive of the proposed Code changes and not supportive of some of the changes that
were suggested in the resident's email Zimmerman referred to.
Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the public hearing.
MOVED by Angell, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of the replacing Chapter 11 (Zoning Code) in its entirety as part of the 2018
recodification of the City Code.

Subject: Zoning Code Proposed Changes, Outdoor Storage
Greetings, I am a Golden Valley resident at 130 Edgewood Ave. N., and I have some suggestions and concerns
about the proposed Outdoor Storage changes in the zoning code. I cannot attend the public hearing tonight
because I will be teaching at a Metropolitan State University class.
I think the Storage section of the code changes should be considered separately from the rest, and given
additional revisions. Please consider the following suggestions, and convey them to the planning commission.
1) There is no definition of"storage" in the definitions section, which leaves the regulations open for subjective
interpretation, or misunderstanding. What constitutes "storage" of an object? The type of object?The length of
time since last used? The frequency of use?
How are residents to understand what the city means by storage, if it is not defined? Some examples: a) If we
are using our lawnmower regularly in the summer, does it need to be screened? What if we are using it and get
too hot and have to go inside for a while, does it need to be "stored" in a screened area in the interim?I would
assume it would need to be "stored" over the winter, but while in regular use? b) If we have outdoor chairs and
a table that are not used in winter, on a patio or in a gazebo, do they have to be screen when stacked and
covered for the winter? With no definition of"storage" or the items covered by "storage" pretty much anything
in the yard could be considered covered or not covered, other than those items specifically named.
2) The requirement of screening from visibility to "adjacent" properties is vague and unnecessarily restrictive,
given that many factors other than fencing or vegetative screening might provide the desired visibility
restriction--but nothing else other than fencing or screening is allowed. For example, a neighbor's garage or
shed might provide screening of her "stored" objects from my view, rendering another fence or vegetative
screen unnecessary or duplicative. Or, a wooded area on the edge of a property might riot be 75%opaque, but
might effectively screen objects in view at a distance. Why does the regulation have to mandate only two forms
of screening?
3) The regulation seems to impose prohibitive expenses on property owners, especially those without the means
to pay for construction of an expensive, three-sided fenced area, or for installation of vegetation that when
planted would already have to be 6 feet in height, which would be the size of mature trees or shrubs. Fencing is
very expensive, and for most people would also include installation expenses. I am a gardener, and I would
estimate a vegetatively screened area on three sides of about 8'X 6'X 8', to screen an average-size riding lawn
mower,would cost about $2,000 for 9-10 full-grown arborvitae. (Bachman's catalog does not even list such
shrubs in full-grown, 6' heights, because typically full-grown shrubs are not planted. See:
https://www.bachmans com/product/35000002904953, and for almost full-grown:
httys:Hwww.gertens.com/pyramidal arborvitae 15335 html. Delivery and planting costs must also be factored
in.)
The idea that homeowners would need to construct one or more of such screenings, for a boat, a trailer, a
lawnmower, etc. would prove prohibitively expensive. Such expenses mandated by the city then contradict the
city's stated endorsement of"affordable housing" and maintenance of existing housing stock, in the city's draft
Comprehensive Plan for 2040.
i
4) Has the city considered the unintended consequences that homeowners with means to do so might construct
multiple "screening" units around their yard, to meet the letter of the regulation, but then create another eyesore
of random screening that might be worse than the original issue? Alternatively, is the city inadvertently pushing
homeowners to fence their entire properties, again, if they have the means? Is that really what we want? I live
in a neighborhood with large yards and long vistas, with no fencing or screening other than planned landscaping
and trees. I would not trade that in order not to see my neighbor's small trailer behind her garage more than 100
feet away. I would rather she spent her money on maintaining her home and yard.
5) While the staff introduction to the proposed language on storage claims that the new language addresses "the
majority of the concerns often cited by resident while also protecting the rights of property owners", I find
nothing at all in the language that is protective of property owner rights, which I would like to see. Instead, this
proposed regulation seems needlessly restrictive, and sets up the city for increased expectations of inspection
and enforcement that I do not support my tax dollars going to pay. Issues of yard storage should first be
discussed among neighbors, and I would support the city setting up programs that would support such
neighborhood conversations, but we do not need to spend more money on "yard storage police".
I respectfully recommend that the proposed Storage regulation language be removed from the code changes to
be reviewed as a whole tonight, and instead, take more time to reconsider and revise the regulation language,
with consideration of the above concerns.
I do a great deal of policy and procedure writing in my work for the Minnesota State system of colleges and
universities, and I would be willing to help work on rewriting the code, and coming up with some reasonable
definitions for "storage". Please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for your consideration.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
October 16, 2018
Agenda Item
4. B. Public Hearing to Vacate Easements and Portion of 6th Avenue at 4050 Olson Memorial
Highway and 700 Meadow Lane North
Prepared By
Eric Eckman, Development and Assets Supervisor
Summary
As part of the Minor Subdivision approved at the March 20, 2018, City Council meeting, the
property owner is re-platting the properties located at 4050 Olson Memorial Highway and 700
Meadow Lane North (see attached location map). The existing parcels are being consolidated into
one parcel to facilitate the construction of a walkway connection between the west and south
buildings on the owner’s campus.
During the review of the minor subdivision, the City and owner determined that the Olson
Memorial Highway North Frontage Road (also known as 6th Avenue North) is not a through street
and serves only the owner’s campus, and therefore can be turned over to the owner and
included in the re-platting effort.
As part of this process, the existing public easements and a portion of the frontage road involved
in the plat will be vacated. In turn, the owner must dedicate new easements and right-of-way on
the final plat, in addition to a trail easement over the entire vacated frontage road area to
facilitate bike and pedestrian movements. The City will also retain a drainage and utility
easement over the vacated frontage road. The locations of the new easements and right-of-way
better reflect the current and planned locations of public and private infrastructure in the area.
A notice of public hearing regarding the proposed vacation was published and posted and letters
were sent to the affected property owners along with the proposed resolution. Staff sent a letter
to all private utility companies and public entities with a potential interest requesting their
review and comment, and there has been no objection to this vacation. Since the easements and
right-of-way are not adjacent to a public water, notice to the Commissioner of Natural Resources
is not required.
In accordance with state statutes, a four-fifths majority vote in favor of the resolution is required
to approve this vacation.

Prepared By
Kris Luedke, City Clerk

Summary
The second consideration of the City Code recodification will be presented by staff at this meeting.
The first consideration was presented at the October 2, 2018, Council meeting. If the Council adopts

Background
Early 2017, Municode was selected as the preferred vendor for the recodification project. Municode
offers an on-line, mobile friendly searchable website for which the City will be linked to through our

The project began with a legal review and proposed reorganization of the City Code from Municode.
Upon receipt of the review, staff and the city attorney reviewed the recommended changes and also
made recommendations to update the City Code using the League of Minnesota model ordinances.
