PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-16
Request: Request for a Variance from the Rear Yard Setback Requirement to Allow
Construction of a Sun Room Addition
Location: 4076 Ensign Avenue North
PID No: 18-118-21-24-0104
Zoning: R-l, Single Family Residential, Zoning District
Petitioner: Clifford and Elizabeth Miller
Report Date: May 30, 1996
Meeting Date: June 4, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. The petitioner is requesting a nine-foot variance from the rear yard setback requirement to allow
the construction of a 12' x 18' sun room addition 26 feet from the rear property line, pursuant
to Sections 4.034(3) and 4.22 - New Hope Code of Ordinances.
2. The petitioner's existing "L-shaped" home is located 38 feet from the rear yard property line.
City code states that the rear yard setback requirement in a Single Family Residential Zoning
District is 35 feet.
3. The petitioner is requesting to construct a 12' deep x 18' long sun porch on the east side (in the
rear yard) of the existing home.
4. The proposed sun room addition would be located twenty-six (26) feet from the rear yard
property line, therefore a nine (9) foot variance from the thirty-five (35) foot rear yard
setback requirement is being requested.
5. The property is located on a 9,690 square foot lot (85' x 114') and the existing structure meets
all setback requirements.
6. The property is located on the east side of Ensign Avenue, north of the intersection of
Avenue North. The property is located in a Single Family Residential Zoning District and is
surrounded by single family homes on the north/east/south/west.
7. The topography of the property has a gentle slope upward from south to north of three feet.
8. The petitioner met with staff in a pre-application meeting on May 3.
9. Property owners within 350' of the request have been notified and staff have received no
comments regarding this request.
Planning Case Report 96-16 2 MaY 30, 1996
ANALYSIS
1. The purpose of a variance is to permit relief from strict application of the zoning code where
undue hardships prevent reasonable use of property and where circumstances are unique to the
property. A hardship may exist by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of property
or because of exceptional topographic or water conditions. The hardship cannot be created by
the property owner and if the variance is granted, it should not alter the essential character of
the neighborhood or unreasonably diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood.
2. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the property in
question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by ~ official
controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the lan~wner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of
the locality. Econofflic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable
use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
3. Additional criteria to be used in considering requests for a variance includes the following and
the Planning Commission/City Council shall make findings that the proposed action will not:
A, Consistem.-~With. ~ of Vat6ance: Be contrary to the purposes of a variance.
B. Light and Air. ~!mpair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
C. Street Connections. Unreasonably increase the congestion,in the public street.
D. Public Safety. tnerease the danger, of favOr-endanger the public safety. ~ ,~'
E. Property_ Values. Unreasonably diminish or impair established~'~roPerty values within the
neighborhood, or in any other way be contrary to intent of City Code.
4. Staff feel that several of the criteria may be met with this requ~' as follows:
A. "Undue hardship"'~may pekin since th~low lot dep~and "L-shat~. d" original home
design are beyond the control of the peti~mer, and such~JJ~porch addition would not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood.
B. "Use compatibility" is maintained with this porch request, as many of the homes in the area
already have porches.
C. "Light and air," "street congestion" and "public safety" protections in the code are met with
this request.
D. "Property values" in the neighborhood should remain stable or increase with the porch
addition.
5. Note on the topo map that there is extensive tree-shrub coverage in the rear yards of the homes
just east of this property to provide a buffer to the addition.
(~ · Planning Case Report 96-16 3 May 30, 1996
6. The petitioner indicates that the porch exterior materials would be white enamel frame with
windows and has enclosed a booklet from Sun Room Concepts for more details (which is
included in your packet).
7. One concern that staff has is the inconsistency of roof styles. The proposed "shed-style" roof
pitch (1:12) does not match the existing "gable-style" (4:12). A more attractive and consistent
roof connection would be a matching intersecting gable roof. Staff would suggest that the roof
pitches should match, even if the "shed" style roof is not changed to a gable. (See attached
Building Official exhibit.)
RECOMMENDATION
Pending public comment, staff recommend approval of the nine-foot rear yard setback variance to
allow the sun porch addition, subject to the following condition:
1. Consideration be given to upgrading the roof pitch to match the house roof pitch of 4:12.

Th~ STANDARD in Quality Sun Roomi
The Company
Sun Room Concepts is one of the
manufacturing divisions of the MacArthur
Company. In 1988 MacArthur marked its
75th Anniversary of supplying quality
products and the best service at competi-
tive prices.
Since February 13, 1913, the MacArthur
Company has grown from a small manu-
facturer in a one thousand square foot
building to nineteen locations from Wis-
consin to California occupying in excess
of a half of a million square feet of space
with over three hundred employees.
The experience gained through utilizing
the latest technology in laminating vadous
surfaces to expanded polystyrene for
commercial building applications led to
the development of the SRC Sun ROom
product line. In true MacArthur tradition,
quality was never compromised in de-
signing this product. We remain today,
the standard in quality Sun Rooms.
The SRC Product
The Sun Room Concepts product is
manufactured to provide years of enjoy-
ment. All of our products have under-
gone rigid testing for strength, durability,
and ease of erection. Complete engi-
neering certification is provided. We use
only the best materials.
Unlike the old methods of construction
that required total fabrication of the room,
the SRC system comes already 90~
factory assembled to insure consistent
quality. Each wall system comes ready
for installation. The only on-site modi-
fication that is necessary is cutting the
slope on the side wall to fit your particular
house.
All components fit together uniformly
and the SRC system is designed to make
customizing standard. Our special con-
hectors make it easy for custom designed
Sun Rooms with bay style walls, gazebo
walls, or other custom looks, ail by utilizing
standard components. You are not limited
to the "econobox" look.
Q U e;~ tio ~'~S Q. What is the difference between, Sun Room and, regular room addition?
much more glass than a typical room addition.
Can I heat and cool it?
Yes, if it is constructed with a "thermally-broken" window and wall
system.
Q. Can a Sun Room be built on ANY house?
A. No. Existing conditions such as roof lines, grade, and access from the house have to be evaluated. An in-home
"survey" by a professional design consultant, can determine the feasibility of an enclosure.
Q. How much can I exl3ect to al)end?
A. Normally, expect to spend 25 to 40% less than conventional construction'. Prices to fit every budget,
depending on size, windows, and insulation grade.
Q. Can I start with my existing patio or wood deck?
A. Most of the time. The deck or patio usually needs to be upgraded with concrete foundation piers, supports,
insulation, etc., to be successfully used as a floor. If needed, Sun Room Concepts offers the SRC Thermo-deck®
insulated floor system
Q. How long does it take to build a Sun Room?
A. About 3 to 6 weeks total, including planning and engineering. Construction time at your home is only 2 to 3 days.
Q. Will my Sun Room look like part of the house?
A. Normally, it will look like part of the house, or will compliment the existing architecture.
Q. What ia the insulation quality or R-factor of these structures?
A. SRC Sun Rooms feature insulation and window units comparable to, or better than the existing house.
O. Why are your Sun Rooms more suitable for hot tubs or spas than conventional construction?
A. The walls, ceiling, and glass sytems are constructed with materials which won't absorb damaging moisture from
high humidity, caused by the spa. The glass systems also have "tempered glass" for safety.
Q. What kind of windows are ueed?
A. AAMA Certified PRIME residential windows. No storm windows at SRC. Single, insulated or "Low E" insulated
glass is used depending on heating and cooling requirements. All windows feature tempered glass for safety
and include screens.
Q. What kind of roof ia required? Can I keep my existing porch/patio roof and uae the enclosure wall
and window system?
A. Yes. If required, we can also add supports to your existing porch roof.

PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-17
Request: Conditional Use Permit Amendment for Nursing Home Expansion
Location: 8100 27th Avenue North
PID No: 19-118-21-44-0082
Zoning: R-O, Residential Office, Zoning District
Petitioner: Ambassador Good Samaritan Center
Report Date: May 30, 1996
Meeting Date: June 4, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. The petitioner is requesting a conditional use permit amendment to allow construction of a
building addition to the existing nursing home, pursuant to Sections 4.084(2), 4.094 and 4.21 -
New Hope Code of Ordinances.
2. Ambassador Good Samaritan Center is proposing to construct a two-story addition on the east
side of the existing building. The addition would contain 8,565 square feet on the upper floor
and 1,948 square feet on the lower floor. The expansion, which also includes remodeling the
existing two-wings of the building, would include a reduction in the total number of beds (three-
bedroom units are being converted to two-bedroom units). An elevator is included in the
expansion to provide disability access to the basement. A fire sprinkling system will also be
installed in the existing and new buildings.
3.' On the application the petitioner states that the addition allows for the elimination of over-
crowding and corrects the life safety deficiencies in the existing building by adding f'tre sprinkling
and reduces the total number of beds from 114 to 94.
4. The property is located in an R-O, Residential Office, Zoning District and nursing homes are
allowed by conditional use permit. This proposal to expand requires an amendment to the
existing conditional use permit.
5. The existing site contains 157,338 square feet on 3.6 acres and has a 268-foot frontage onto
Medicine Lake Road.
6. The property is located at the northeast intersection of Virginia Avenue and Medicine Lake Road.
Surrounding land uses include B4 Commercial Business (Midland Shopping Center and cleaners)
to the east, Golden Valley R-2 duplexes across Medicine Lake Road to the south, and R-3
Multiple Family Residential (apartments) to the west and north.
7. The Nursing Home is located in Planning District g27 of the Comprehensive Plan and no
improvements to this property were recommended. The suggested improvements to the adjacent
shopping center traffic flow have been made.
Planning Case Report 96-17 2 May 30, 1996
8. The topography of the property has a moderate slope upward from east (910') to west (920') of
ten feet.
9. The petitioner met in a pre-application meeting with staff on May 3.
10. Property owners within 350' of the request have been notified, including the City of Golden
Valley, and the owner of the adjacent apartment complex came in to review the plans. At first
he expressed a concern that the expansion would increase parking problems in the area, but the
concern was eliminated when he learned that the number of beds were being reduced.
ANALYSIS
1. The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to provide the City with a reasonable and legally
permissible degree of discretion in determining suitability of certain designated uses upon the
general welfare, public health, and safety. In making this determination, whether or not the
conditional use is to be allowed, the City may consider the nature of adjoining land or
buildings, whether or not a similar use is already in existence and located on the same
premises or on other lands close by, the effect upon traffic into and from the premises, or on
any adjoining roads, and all such other or further factors as the City shall deem a requisite for
consideration in determining the effect of such use on the general welfare, public health, and
safety.
2. Other general criteria to be considered when determining whether to approve or deny a
conditional use permit include:
A. Comprehensive Plan. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific
policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official
Comprehensive Municipal Plan of the City.
B.Compatibility. The proposed use is compatible with its adjacent land uses.
C. Performance Standards. The proposed use conforms with all applicable performance
standards contained in the Code.
D.No Depreciation in Value. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the
area in which it is proposed.
E.Zoning District Criteria. In addition to the above general criteria, the proposed CLIP meets
the criteria specified for the various zoning districts:
1. In Residential Districts, R-1,2,3,4,5, R-O:
a. Traffic. Non-residential traffic is channeled into thoroughfares or onto a street
abutting business or industrial uses leading directly to thoroughfares, and not onto
minor residential streets.
b. Screening. The proposed use will be sufficiently separated by distance or screened
from adjacent residentially zoned land so that existing homes will not be materially
depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
c. Compatible Appearance. The structure and site shall have an appearance that
j Planmng Case Report 96-17 3 May 30. 1996
will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties.
3. In addition to the above criteria, the following conditions are specifically required for nursing
homes:
A. Side Yards, Double. Side yards are double the minimum requirements established for this
District and are screened in compliance with City Code.
B. Rear Yard Requirements. Only the rear yard shall be used for play or recreational areas.
Said area shall be fenced and controlled and screened in compliance with City Code.
C. Street Access. The site shall be served by an arterial or collector street of sufficient
capacity to accommodate traffic which will be generated.
D. Permits and State Laws. All state laws and statutes governing such use are strictly adhered
to and all required operating permits are secured.
4. Staff finds that the conditions and criteria outlined above are met. The intent of the exPansion
is to eliminate the "crowded" feel of three-person nursing care rooms by converting them to two-
person rooms and quality of care is improved and total beds are reduced by 17 percent. This
reduction in beds will have a positive impact on parking and traffic flow. Other conditions, such
as setbacks, screening and compatible appearance are described in more detail under the
description of the plans.
5. The Design & Review Committee met with the petitioner on May 15 and issues discussed
included the purpose of the expansion/remodeling, reduction in beds, sprinkling of building,
addition of elevator, exterior lighting, building materials and roof-top units, landscaping,
deliveries, parking lot and water service. Revised plans were submitted as a result of the
meeting. The revised plans include the following details:
A. Site Data:
AREA IN SQUARE FEET
Area of New addition: Area of site: 157,338
Upper floor: 8,565 Area of building: 39,665
Lower floor: 1,948 Area of blacktop: 24,802
B. Resident Data:
BED COUNT
Existing beds: 114
New beds: -0-
Relocated beds: 21
De-certified beds: 20
Total adjusted bed count: 94
The petitioner indicated that there will be transition care in the south wing and they will add
Planning Case Report 96-17 4 May 30, 1996
several beds. With the addition, they will be taking out 20 beds from their present 114-bed
facility. There will be six private rooms and the rest of the rooms will be semi-private.
C. Setbacks: the setback requirements for the R-O Zoning District are met with this request
as follows:
Requirement Proposed
Front yard (south) 35 feet +60 feet
Side yard (east/west) 20 feet (10 + 10) +52 feet (east)
Rear yard (north) 35 feet +83 feet
D. Utilities: the site plan shows a new 6" watermain to be brought in from Medicine Lake
Road for fire sprinklers.
E. Parking: No change; 55 spaces provided; 35 spaces required.
F. The site plan shows that the existing chain link fence and gazebo will be relocated. The
plan also shows the proposed location of the roof-top units.
G. Landscaping: a landscape plan and schedule have been provided, as described below:
Quantity Common Name Size Root
5 Blue Spruce 6' B & B
2 Linden 2" B & B
1 Ash 2" B & B
4 Pine 5' B & B (supplied & installed by owner)
NOTE: All trees, unless otherwise noted, are existing and are to remain.
· The Blue Spruce will be added on the east side of the new addition.
· The Pine trees (to be installed by owner) will be located on the east and south sides of
the new addition.
· The Linden trees will be located on the south side of the addition.
· The Ash tree will be located on the south side of the addition.
· All existing trees will remain on the site.
· The plan also shows the location of yard lights and benches on the site.
H. The elevations show exterior materials will be face brick to match the existing building, a
synthetic stucco on the top, a pre-f'mished metal facia, two courses of rock face concrete
block. The north and east elevations show wall mounted light fLxtures on a photo cells.
I. Note that a retaining wall and stairway will be installed on the east side of the addition.
Planning Case Report 96-17 5 May 30, 1996
J. The Design & Review Committee also discussed truck deliveries with the petitioner and the
petitioner stated that semi-trucks have a difficult time backing onto the property from
Medicine Lake Road, however they would lose a fair amount of parking if they would put
in a mm-around for semi-trucks. Deliveries are generally made in the morning 9:30-10:00
a.m. Dry goods and medical products are delivered by large box truck 2 times/week;
food/meals delivered by semi-truck 3 times/week; garbage pick up every other day; and
beds/equipment seldom.
City code does not require a loading berth, however this may be an item that the
Commission wants to study in the furore.
K. Parking Lot: was restriped when the new lot was completed last year. Two years ago the
front lot was resurfaced, so lots should not need to be resurfaced for a couple more years.
A suggestion was made to show existing handicap spaces.
6. The City Engineer reviewed the plans and made the following comments:
· The overland drainage from the Virginia Avenue cul-de-sac is directed along the northeast
line in the area where grading is required to construct the addition. The grading for the new
addition shall not encroach into the overland drainage swale from the Virginia Avenue cul-
de-sac to the east. The existing storm sewer in the easement area shall be protected and any
damage that results shall be repaired by the contractor.
· The proposed retaining wall located immediately east of the new addition appears to be high
enough to warrant engineering drawings. Engineering drawings shall be provided for the
retaining wall construction.
· Erosion control along the east line shall be in place during construction to prevent any silt
and debris from washing onto the adjacent property to the east.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the conditional use permit amendment to allow the nursing home
expansion, subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with City Engineer recommendations.
2. Annual review by staff.

PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-18
Request: Request for a Variance from the Side Yard Setback Requirement to Allow
Construction of a Garage Addition
Location: 3840 Gettysburg Avenue North
PID No: 18-118-21-31-0057
Zoning: R-i, Single Family Residential, Zoning District
Petitioner: Leona Bigelow
Report Date: May 30, 1996
Meeting Date: June 4, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. The petitioner is requesting a two-foot variance from the side yard setback requirement to allow
the construction of an 8' x 17' "L-shaped" garage addition three feet from the side yard property
line, pursuant to Sections 4.034(3) and 4.22 - New Hope Code of Ordinances.
2. The petitioner currently has a 14-foot wide single-car garage attached to the northeast side of his
single-family home. There is a distance of 11 feet between the existing garage and the northeast
side yard lot line.
3. City code states that the side yard setback requirement in a Single Family Residential Zoning
District is ten (10) feet, with the exception that an attached garage may be located within five
(5) feet of the side yard lot line.
4. The petitioner is requesting to construct an eight-foot wide addition to the existing garage so that
the completed project would result in a 22-foot wide, two-car garage..
5. The proposed garage addition would be located three (3) feet from the side yard property
line, therefore, a two (2) foot variance from the five (5) foot setback requirement is being
requested.
6. The property is located on a 9,000 square foot lot (75' x 120') and the existing structure meets
all setback requirements.
7. The property is located on the south side of Gettysburg Avenue near the intersection with
Northwood Parkway. The property is located in a Single Family Residential Zoning District and
is surrounded by single family homes on the north/east/south/west.
8. The topography of the property slopes downward two feet from south to north.
Planning Case Report 96-18 2 May 30, 1996 ~.~
9. The petitioner states on the application that the additional two feet is needed to accommodate
construction of the addition to make a two-car garage with a 22-foot width instead of the existing
14-foot width.
10. The petitioner met with staff in a pre-application meeting on May 3.
11. Property owners within 350' of the request have been notified and staff have received no
comments regarding this request. -
ANALYSIS
1. The purpose of a variance is to permit relief from strict application of the zoning code where
undue hardships prevent reasonable use of property and where circumstances, are unique to the
property. A hardship may exist by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of property
or because of exceptional topographic or water conditions. The hardship cannot be created by
the property owner and if the variance is granted, it should not alter the essential character of
the neighborhood or unreasonably diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood.
2. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the property in
question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official
controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of
the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable
use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
3. Additional criteria to be used in considering requests for a variance includes the following and
the Planning Commission/City Council shall make findings that the proposed action will not:
A. Consistent With Purpose of Variance. Be contrary to the purposes of a variance.
B. Light and Air. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
C. Street Connections. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street.
D. Public Safety. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
E. Property_ Values. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the
neighborhood, or in any other way be contrary to intent of City Code.
4. Staff feel that several of the criteria may be met with this request, as follows:
A. "Undue hardship" may pertain if the Commission agrees that a single car garage is too small
in the 1990s. Such an addition would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
B. "Use compatibility" is maintained with this garage request, as the majority of the homes in
the area already have double garages.
Planning Case Report 96-18 3 May 30, 1996
C. "Light and air," "street congestion" and "public safety" protections in the code are met with
this request.
D. "Property values" in the neighborhood should remain stable or increase with the addition.
5. The area where the garage addition will be constructed presently is covered with a concrete slab
and is partially fenced from the adjacent neighbor.
6. The adjacent lot to the north has a garage wall next to the proposed addition/setback variance,
which should be an area of reduced sensitivity.
7. No drainage or utility easement exists in the proposed garage location.
8. Per the plans, the "L-shaped" garage addition would be eight (8) feet wide in the front, the
outside wall of the existing garage would be removed and a new 16-foot overhead door would
be installed. The addition would be 31.5 feet in length and seventeen (17) feet wide at the rear
to provide room for a storage area. A side window from the existing garage would be reset on
the new northeast side wall and a rear door would be installed on the southwest wall of the
storage area.
9. The elevations show, and the petitioner has indicated, that the addition would have a stucco finish
to match the rest of the house. He also indicated that the entire house would be reshingled.
10. The petitioner has provided photos that show the existing portion of the house where the addition
is proposed and they are included in your packet.
RECOMMENDATION
Pending public comment, staff recommend approval of the two-foot side yard setback variance to
allow the garage addition, subject to the following condition:
1. Building materials of addition to match existing home.

PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 95-31
Request: Request for Sign Variances/Approval of Comprehensive Sign Plan to Allow
Wall and Ground Signs that Exceed Sign Code Requirements in Number and
Size
Location: 7709 42nd Avenue North
PID No: 17-118-1-3-0017
Zoning: B-3, Auto-Oriented Business District
Petitioner: Autohaus of Minneapolis/Thomas Boettcher
Report Date: May 30, 1996
Meeting Date: June 4, 1996
UPDATE
1. This request was tabled at the January 2nd Planning Commission meeting, as the Commission
indicated it could not support the original request and asked the petitioner to submit revised plans
with the correct size/scale shown. The Commission requested a reduction in the number of signs
and the square footage of the signs to more closely comply with the Sign Code.
2. The petitioner submitted revised plans for consideration at the February Planning Commission
meeting, however requested that the matter be tabled because the petitioner wanted to make
further revisions to the plans before they were considered by the Commission.
3. No additional revised plans have been submitted to date, therefore the Commission tabled this
request in March, April and May, at the request of the petitioner.
4. There have been several changes in the business ownership structure over the past several months
and the representatives of the business recently submitted several rough draft revised plans to the
City regarding the use of the building and site. Staff anticipates that revised sign plans will
follow.
5. Staff wrote the petitioner the enclosed letter requesting that revised sign plans be submitted for
consideration at the June Planning Commission meeting or have advised the petitioner that the
Commission may take action to deny the request.
6. The attached plans were received on May 15, however they are not adequate .for Comprehensive
Sign Plan approval because they do not show the side wall signs. The 'owners of the building
are still not in agreement on the sign plan.
7. The majority owner of the building, Jeff Bessinger of AutoBody Plus, requested to replace the
existing face on the ground sign in front of the building with a similar sized sign face for his
business and the request was approved by the City Manager, subject to the following conditions:
Planning Case Report 95-31 2 May 30, 1996
A. that the owners come to an agreement on signage and submit a comprehensive sign
plan for the entire property;
B. that the second ground sign must be removed.
8. The Commission will need to determine if you are going to table this request again or deny the
request.
9. The City Attorney has advised that there are no problems in complying with the "Agency
Deadline" legislation, as the Sign Code is not part of the Zoning Code and the new law is
applicable only to zoning requests.

Subject: Application for Sign Variances and Comprehensive Sign Plan to Allow Wall and
Ground Signs that Exceed Sign Code Requirements in Number and Size, Planning
Case No. 95-31
Gentlemen:
In November of 1995, you submitted an application to the City of New Hope for approval of
variances and a Comprehensive Sign Plan to install a new ground sign and front/side wall signs
to identify the various businesses located in the building. Plans were submitted that were
considered at the January 2, 1996 Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting, a
representative from Signcrafters and Tom Oestrich described the sign plans to the Commission.
The Commission indicated that they could not support the plan.q due to the number of variances
that were being requested and recommended that the plans be revised, to which you agreed. The
request was tabled until February.
Revised sign plan.q were submitted in February that included a reduction in the number and size
of signs being requested. However, prior to the February Planning Commission meeting, Mr.
Boettcher requested that the request be tabled because he said that the plans needed additional
revisions. The Planning Commission tabled this request in February, March and April. The
City has not received revised sign plans, yet there are new signs that have been installed on the
building.
The Planning Commission has directed staff that they will table this item one more time in May,
but that if revised plans are not submitted for consideration at the June Planning Commission
meeting, they will take action on the request, which essentially means your request would be
denied. I know that there have been a number of changes in the business operation, but this
signage issue must be resolved.
Family Styled City ~~ For Family Living
Mr. Boencher and Mr. Oestrich

April 29, 1996
Please determine what your signage needs are and present accurate plans to the Ciw for ground
and wall signs by May 15. These plans will then be considered by the Plarming Commission
and City Council on June 4 and June 10, respectively. A representative from your business
should be present at those meetings. If plans are not submitted, I anticipate that the Commission
will move to deny your original request at their June meeting. If the Council would support
their recommendation, you would need to start the entire application process over.
The City desires to cooperate with you for the benefit of your businesses, so lets get this sign
plan issue resolved. Please call me at 531-5119 if you have any questions.

RE: Planning Case 96-07
Dear Mr. McDonald:
I am in receipt of your letter dated May 16, 1996 regarding the unsubstantiated continuance
(again) of the above captioned project. I will suffer substantial economic hardship as a result. I
am informed by my representative that the Council was told of "single building plan: and
"prospective purchaser" for this site..,' To the extent either exist, and they do not, they are
completely irrelevant. I addressed satisfactorily ALL outstanding issues at the planning
commission meeting. The staff representations to the contrary, that apparently caused the
continuance, can only be construed as yet another attempt to cause this project delay. As was
pointed out to the Council by Mr. Sheridan, this project should have been approved.
I am extremely disappointed in the City's breach of my trust. I acted in good faith at the planning
commission meeting and in return I was blindsided by City Staff The only unanswered question
after Planning Commission was the use of the property, which will not be known until leased.
This is always the case. That is why the fire issues are PERMITTING ISSUES. The only reason
they were discussed is my prior experience with your fire department officials. They are not a
legitimate reason for a continuance and never have been.
I was in the running for a major tenant to occupy the majority of this project. The project may
now be excluded due to timing consideration caused by the City Council's actions of May 13,
1996. I will be at the May 28, 1996 meeting. If you feel there are ANY outstanding issues I
demand that you enumerate them to immediately with absolute specificity. The reasons set forth
in your letter are vague, ambiguous and do not meet any standard for objection. In the absence of

Dear Brad:
The City is in receipt of your May 17 correspondence regarding the action by the City Council
to table Planning Case 96-07 at their May 13 meeting. You were not "blindsided" by City staff,
as staff recommended approval of your case. subject to the same conditions as recommended by
the Planning Commission. The enclosed Council Request for Action includes the staff's
recommendations and the Planning Commission report, which you previously received, was also
attached to this request. The issues raised at the Council meeting were initiated by the Council
members and not the staff. I have enclosed an unapproved copy of the Council minutes for your

can address the issues that are outlined in the Council minutes and hopefully proceed with this

MOTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL FOR PROPERTY AT 55:
SUMTER AVENUE-NORTH
In April 1996, the City received a letter from the owner of 5530 Sumter Avenue North stating that they
are interested in selling their house to the City. The owners of the property had expressed an interest
in selling their home to the City last year, when the City was researching the possibility of purchasing
the homes in the Bass Lake Road extension area for redevelopment purposes. Although the
redevelopment project did not occur, the owners of 5530 Sumter are still interested in having the City
purchase their home on a scattered site basis.
The house has been a source of numerous complaints over the years. The most recent complaint was
in November 1995, concerning the upkeep of the exterior of the property.
Staff sent a letter stating that the City is interested in purchasing the house on a voluntary basis and that
an appraisal of the site needs to be completed to determine the value of the property. Once the
appraisal is completed, the Council will determine if the City is interested in purchasing the property.
If the City decides to purchase the property, the house can be rehabilitated and sold to a first-time home
buyer or demolished and the property land banked for future redevelopment in the area.
If the City decides to acquire the property, the following funds may be used: $84,000 in CDBG
acquisition/scattered site housing funds, $40,000 from an MHFA Blighted Residential Grant received
by the City in 1994, EDA funds, and TIF funds.
The 1995 assessed value is $66,000 ($22,500 land, $43,500 building).
Staff is requesting authorization to obtain an appraisal on the property for comparison and
negotiation purposes. The estimated cost of a single family residential appraisal from BCL
Appraisals is $350 and will be paid for with CDBG funds.
Staff recommends approval of a motion authorizing staff to obtain an appraisal of 5530 Sumter Avenue

CITY OF NEW HOPE
PROJECT BULLETIN
36TH AVENUE STREET/UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
BETWEEN WINNETKA AND LOUISIANA, AVENUES
Overview
The City of New Hope is proceeding with Phase II of the 36th Avenue street/utility
improvements between Winnetka and Louisiana Avenues. Phase I of the improvements
was completed in 1995 and included reconstruction of the 36th Avenue Railroad Bridge and
street/utility work approximately 250 feet either side of the bridge (not including the final
bituminous surface). The project was necessary because traffic counts on 36th Avenue
warrant a four-lane roadway, which could not be accomplished based on the previous width
between the bridge piers. The improvements completed last year provided a 70-foot span
between the concrete bridge abutments which accommodates a 48-foot wide roadway, a
5-foot sidewalk, and a 6-foot wide boulevard.
Phase II improvements will include utility improvements and street reconstruction of 36th
Avenue from 400 feet west of Winnetka Avenue to Louisiana Avenue. New sanitary sewer
will be installed between Nevada Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, and existing storm sewer
facilities will be replaced at all the intersections. Storm sewer flow will be redirected at the
Winnetka/36th Avenue intersection to alleviate flooding problems.
Thirty-Sixth Avenue will be reconstructed to a 48-foot'wide (four lanes) roadway. The
existing pavement along 36th Avenue will be reclaimed, except for a 500-foot section at
the railroad that was reconstructed in 1995. Widening will occur when left turn lanes are
added on 36th Avenue east and west of Winnetka Avenue. New concrete curbing,
sidewalk and pavements will be constructed from 400 feet west of Winnetka to Louisiana.
All. driveways will be replaced with concrete, and areas disturbed by the construction will
be restored with sod or seed. The widening of the intersection at 36th and Winnetka will
require the traffic signals to be reconstructed. New decorative street lighting will also be
installed.
In addition to the improvements located within 36th Avenue, two large culverts will be
installed north of 36th Avenue as part of the Northwood Lake storm sewer improvements.
A 72-inch RCP will be constructed across Winnetka Avenue and a 4-foot by 7-foot box
culvert will be installed under the driveway to the Winnetka Village Apartments.
Pro|ect Schedule
The New Hope City Council awarded the contract for Phase II of the street/utility
improvements to C.S. McCrossan Construction, Inc. (Iow bidder) at the May 13 Council
meeting. A pre-construction meeting was conducted on May 22 with all appropriate utility
companies and construction personnel.
5/24/96
The contractor will start construction of the project on May 29 and is estimated to complete
the project by is September 13.
Work to be completed in the first stage of construction will include reclamation of
bituminous pavement on the north side of 36th Avenue from 400 feet west of Winnetk~
Avenue to the existing pavement on the west side of the railroad bridge, installation of
utilities, and completion of the bituminous binder course. This half of the road abuts the
Union 76 Station, SuperAmerica and the Winnetka Village Apartments driveway. Within
the first 30 days similar work will also be completed on the south side of 36th Avenue from
the east side of the railroad bridge to Louisiana Avenue. Once this work is completed, the
second stage of construction will be initiated, which will involve similar work on the
opposite side of the road.
Additional project bulletins will be mailed updating you on the progress of the project.
Access
While short-term lane closures may occur, access to all businesses and 'apartment properties
will be maintained at all times. For businesses and apartment complexes that have only one
driveway access, removal and replacement of the driveway apron will be done one-half at
a time. For businesses that have two accesses or two driveway aprons, work will be
completed one at a time. Access to Winnetka Village Apartments will be maintained at all
times.
Construction Hours
Standard construction hours will be between the hours of 7 am and 9 pm Monday through
Friday and 9 am and 7 pm on Saturday. All work, including mobilization of equipment and
street sweeping, will take place during these time periods.
No work will be performed that interferes with traffic between 6 am and 9 am and between
4 pm and 6 pm on any weekday.
Cooperative Project
This project is a cooperative effort between the City of New Hope, Hennepin County, the
Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Cities of Crystal and Plymouth. The City
of New Hope has been working with these governmental agencies since 1990 to
accomplish this improvement. The City appreciates the cooperation of all the businesses
and residents in the area impacted by the construction during this project. The completion
of the project will result in much safer traffic conditions on 36th Avenue for both motor
vehicles and pedestrians. Thank you for your cooperation.

NO. 556 - BEGIN PARK PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT)
The 1996 CIP calls for replacement of playground equipment. The
Citizen Advisory Commission has recommended that Begin Park be the
site.
Staff and one Citizen Advisory Commissioner met on April 23rd with
representatives from the neighborhood to plan the new equipment.
The plan will include new equipment in the existing play circle for
children ages 1-6 years. It will further include separate
equipment for older children in the same existing play circle.
It is expected that the project will be completed this summer.
Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications and a
call for bids for new play equipment at Begin Park.

Subject: Begin P~k playgro~d equipment layout
Date: 4/16/96
Shari & Tom:
Here is a preliminary layout for the play equipment at Begin Park, done with the help of the
local Landscape Structures supplier, Earl F. Anderson, Inc.. We got a bit more in the way of'
a climbing structure for the older kids than I had expected.
As we discussed, the equipment for the younger kids (the space station, the two-seat swing
set, and the spring riders) are all clustered at the northeast comer of the area, close to the
handicapped accessible picnic table. I took the liberty of adding another spring rider on the
general principle that we always want at least two riders so that someone can ride with a pal.
We have also added a couple short, concrete walks within the play area. On the north side,
the ped ramp fi.om the street is on the east side of the manhole and the ped ramp through the
short retaining wall around the play area is in the middle of the wall instead of at a comer.
We needed the short walk to get someone over to the rubber-surfaced entrance to the
structure. The concrete is about one-third the cost of the rubber surface and is outside the fall
zone for all the play elements. On the southeast wall, we had two rubber-surfaced entrances
to play elements and only wanted one penetration of the play area retaining wall. Again, the
concrete is outside the fall zones for all the equipment.
The estimated cost for this layout is approximately $43,000. This includes the equipment
(with fi.eight and installation), the paving, and the ped ramps.
Please call and let me know what you think.

DISCUSSION REGARDING PURCHA~ OF THE PROPERTY AT 8540 MEDICINE LAKE ROAD
'IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #562)
At the April 22, New Hope City Council meeting, the City Council approved and directed staff to have:
an appraisal completed of the property l~ocated at 8540 Medicine Lake Road. BCL Appraisals completedi
an appraisal of the property on April a0, and estimated that the fair market value of the property
$68,000 (see Attachment A).
Upon receiving the appraisal, staff sent a copy to Mr. Steve Moldo, the owner of 8540 Medicine Lake
Road. Mr. Moldo does not feel that the appraisal completed by BCL Appraisals reflects the true value
of the property. In addition, Mr. Moldo sent a copy of an appraisal completed for Heartland Mortgage
in November 1995, stating that the estimated fair market value for the property is $91,200 (see
Attachment B). Mr. Moldo has also provided a letter-stating that he will entertain an offer for
property of roughly $95,000 (see Attachment C). He has also verbally stated that he feels his property
is worth more than $68,000, therefore, if the City will only offer that amount, he will attempt to sell
his property through a Realtor.
The property is located at 8540 Medicine Lake Road. It is roughly 10,000 square feet and is located
in an R-I Single Family Residential zoning district. The house was built in 1900, has 1,416 square feet
of living space including three bedrooms, 1+ bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, basement.
laundry room, and detached garage.
Staff believe that if the City buys the property, the existing house should be torn down and a new
family home built on the site. Due to-the high cost of purchasing the property, staff estimates that
City would invest over $180,000 into the purchase, demolition, and construction on the property and
realize a return after the new house is .sold of only $95,000. These means that the City would have-to
utilize approximately $85,000 in project costs asing CDBG, EDA, and HOME funds. A budget for the
above scenario is attached (see Attachment D).
Because of the high appraisal price on the property, staff recommends that the City not pursue

DISCUSSION REGARDING PURCHA~SE OF THE PROPERTY AT 4424 NEVADA AVENUE
NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #558)
At the April 8 New Hope City Council meeting, the City Council approved and directed staff to have
an appraisal completed of the property located at 4424 Nevada Avenue North. BCL Appraisals
completed an appraisal of the property on April 23 and estimated that the fair market value of the
property is $87,000.
The property is located at 4424 Nevada Avenue North. The lot is approximately 10,925 square feet
and is located in an R-l, Single Family Residential, Zoning District. The house was built in 1948. has
1.503 square feet of living space including four bedrooms, 1+ bathrooms, a living room. dining room.
kitchen, basement, laundry room, and attached single ear garage. Scan Coone conducted a code
compliance inspection of the site in March and had several items that would require replacement if
the property was sold on the open market. Because of the number of code issues, the property. OV, T~ers
asked the City if they would like to buy the property.
The City was initially interested in the property for several possible uses including the following:
1. Demolish the house and incorporate the land into Fred Sims Park. Although this idea is desirable.
ihe Parks and Recreation Department state that this property is not vital to the improvement of
Fred Sims Park. The Parks and Recreation Deparmaent also does not have the funds to purchase
the property.

2. Target the house as the future site of Tasks Unlimited or other service provider. Tasks Unlimited
toured the site and stated that the property is too small for their use. They require at least five
bedrooms and 2000+ square feet of space for one of their properties. In addition, a rehabilitation
specialist from Project for Pride in Living (PPL) also visited the site and provided the attached
estimate of rehabilitation costs necessary to m~ke the property suitable for Tasks Unlimited. The
estimated rehabilitation cost provided by PPL is $79,520.
3. Purchase the property, demolish the existing home and build a single family home on the site. Due
to the high cost of purchasing the property, staff estimates that the City would spend approximately
$200,000 on purchase, demolition, and construction at the property and see a return of only
$100,000 after the new house is sold. This means that the City would have to cover approximately'
$100,000 in project costs using CDBG, EDA, and HOME funds.
4. Purchase the property, demolish the existing home and build a twin home on the site. Due to the
high cost of purchasing the property, staff estimates that the City would spend approximately
$305,000 for purchase, demolition, and construction at the property and see a remm of only
$210,000 after the new twin home is sold. This means that the City would have to cover
approximately $95,000 in project costs using CDBG, EDA, and HOME funds.
Because of the high appraisal price on the property, staff recommends that the City not purchase the
property at this time.

New Hope has also received $90,000 in HOME funds designated for special needs housing. Specifically,
a large house, duplex, or small apartment would be purchased and rehabilitated for low-income
developmentally disabled or mentally ill persons. In addition, the City has committed a $90,000 zero
interest loan that would come from Economic Development Authority (EDA) funds. The loan would
be considered a first mortgage on the facility and would have to be paid back to the City. The City's
role in the project would be to provide financing and staff services (including recommendations on site
selection and rehabilitation) to the organization that would purchase and manage the site.
At the September 25, 1995 EDA meeting, the EDA approved a Request for Proposals which was sent
to service providers that own and manage special needs rental housing. The City received four
proposals from possible providers. Staff from CO-OP Northwest, PPL, and the City interviewed three
of the providers on February 22, 1996. Selection criteria included: sound budgetary practices,
appropriate support services, financial ability to provide services, and a proven track record. Of the
providers interviewed, Tasks Unlimited was rated highest by the interviewers in all areas. In addition,
Tasks Unlimited received recommendations from Hennepin County staff and the Hennepin County Board
of Commissioners.
The interview team also went on a tour of five Tasks Unlimited facilities located in Golden Valley,
Richfield, and Bloomington, and their training Center in St. Louis Park. All of the facilities are in large,
single 'family homes or converted duplexes. Most of the facilities host four to six individuals who reside
in the home on a long term basis.
Staff recommends that Tasks Unlimited be the owner and service provider for the special needs rental
housing to be located in New Hope. If the EDA approves Tasks Unlimited as the owner and service
provider, staff will begin working with Tasks Unlimited to trmd a suitable transitional housing site in
New Hope. In addition, the City and Tasks Unlimited will enter into a Letter of Understanding with
regards to the project.

New Hope Lodge
!. Narrative
A. Housing plan
1. Brief description
Tasks Unlimited Lodges proposes to establish a lodge in the City of New Hope with me
assIstance of The CO-OP Northwest Community Revitalization Corporation and the Ci~' of
New Hope. The proiect would provide affordable iow income supported housing for s~x :o
eight adults disabled liW serious and persistent mental illness. The n(>-interest 30-year loan
will bring peer-supported group living within the financial reach of all quahfying lodge
members. Members will pay no more than 30% of their income for rent and utilities. All
residents will be at or below 50% of Metropolitan Medium Income.
A lodge is a peer-run shared housing unit in which six to eight adults with serious and
persistent mental illness live together as a "famdy" sharing in the work, finances, and mutuai
support and friendship. The group collects a monthly lodge membership fee from which they
pay for food, household supplies, phone service and discretionary items such as cable TV,
and some furnishings not provided by the landlord. The group also collects and manages ~
utility fund from which they pay the utilities. Members pay a monthly rent to Tasks
Unlimited Lodges, the "landlord."
Lodge members receive support services from a lodge coordinator through Tasks Unlim,tea
Mental Health Services who consults with them on managing their prouD, and prowaes
mental health case coordination services to the members. They also receive vocational
training, coaching, and sometimes special job-site supervision from one of Tasks vocat~or~at
branches such as Tasks Unlimited Janitorial Service. Ail'members (residents) work a
minimum of 4 hours per day. The goal is to provide quality, affordable, peer run, permanent
. supported housing. Tasks Unlimited Lodges currently Ol:)erates 12 similar housm$ umts
ran~ng from three to eight members each. They are ~ocat~-d in .single family homes or
~iexes. F~'ur of the existing umts have been established with assistance of Hennemn
~ll'~ Subut~ HOME funds, and another was established with the City of St. Paul HOME
2. De~:ribe any unique features Of the proposal.
One unique asia. ct of the proposal is the peer-run nature of the lodge. This format is not
experimental, but one of the most researched and tested models of supported housing ~or
this population. The Io~l..ge model was deveto0ed in the early 1960's by a research team
headed by Dr. George Fairweather working with a group of veterans in Palp Alto, Califorma.
After successfully replicating their findin~ they developed a federally funded dissemination
program in the early 1970's. Tasks Unlimited, Inc., was one of the early organizations to
re0iicate the program. Tasks has given national leadership to the lodge movement. Tasks'
success is featured in a ten-page case study mn a recently published book, Eml3owermg the
Mentally III, by Dr. C;eorse Fairweather and Dr. Esther Fer~us. Tasks Unlimited is the only

C. Affordability
1. Describe the extent to which the proposed activity provides Ion,-term
affordable housin8 and how it will be accomplished.
The ~roject provides tong term affordable housmg for s~x to eight adults disabie~ bv mer:a~
illness. Lodie members currently pay $1 78 per month for furn~sh~ hous~n8 with a s~ng~e
beUroom. They Pav their lodge group a u~iliW fee. The 8rou0 t~en pays their utilities
~h~s fund. The utfli~ fee is based on a~ual usage but ~s likely to ~ aoou~ ~50. Tasks
Unlimited Lodges would guarantee that these ~o figures do not exceed 30% of an
individuals monthly income. We have a few I~e mem~rs who have~n in our
Henne~in CounW Lodies for over 23 years. This supposed housin
avadable to the resident as Ion8 as they need and want
2. D~cribe how the project provid~ affordable housin~ and the anticipated
income range of the r~idents in the project.
Tasks Iodies provide a hi8hly affordable housin8 option. The p~r run home with staff
consultation not only r~uces shares and expenses, but incre~es the su~po~s available to
the pa~icipants. This use of "natural supron" contributes to the long-{era viabiliw oi ~he
housmg. ~r ~m~ t~ ctient's inco~ is m~ut S5~ ~m wm8m and $4~ ~om

our clien~ have extraordinaw ontoinl m~ical ex~n~s for m~ications, senerally rangm~
from $7S to ~250 per month and in cases of clients on newer m~ications as high as S 1 t 00
per month. Those at the hi8h end would quati~ for some M~ical Assistance on aspenO

m~ications on a continuin~ basis. Without the help from the m~ication they would need

RE: Codes & Standards
Open Meeting Law
Our File: 99.10038
Dear Kirk:
In my letter of May 22nd relating to the application of the OPen
Meeting Law to the Design & Review Committee I incorrectly stated
there were 5 members on said committee. As you pointed out in our
telephone conversation Design & Review has only 4 members.
As a result, there meetings may not be subject to the Open Meeting
Law as well. However, since they meet on a regular basis at City
Hall it's my recommendation that the notice requirements of the
Open Meeting Law be followed for the Design & Review meetings and
make it an official open meeting to the general public that may.
wish to attend.
Very truly yours,

RE: Open Meeting Law
Codes & Standards Meeting
Dear Kirk:
This letter is in follow up to my May 7th letter and our discussion
at the May 22,1996 Codes & Standards meeting regarding the
application of the Open Meeting law.
It's my understanding Vi Underdahl will resign from the committee
effective immediately. Her action will leave 4 Planning Commission
members on Codes & Standards after the official appointment of Bi]l
Keefe. As pointed out in my May 7th letter, as long as the
committee membership does not exceed 4 members the Open Meeting law
may not apply to the meetings we hold in Plymouth.
However, if we are ever challenged on the basis that the Codes &
Standards meetings violate the Open Meeting law it is my
recommendation that the following changes be made:
1. the-meeting place is moved back into the
City and preferably at City Hall, and
2. we comply with all notice and publication
requirements of the Open Meeting law.
It's my further understanding that the meetings for Design & Review
are held at City Hall. Since this committee has 5 members it is
subject to the Open Meeting law and all steps will be taken for
future meetings of Design & Review to comply with the Open Meeting
taw.
Please keep in mind any time a majority of members of a public body
meet or find themselves together at any occasion, with limited

exceptions, the Open Meeting law should be complied with to
legalize the meeting. I hope this answers all questions about the
application of this law, but don't hesitate to cai1 with other
questions or comments.
