CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 17, 2024 Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Scanlan asked if the loss of parking is a concern. Planner Sharpe stated that they have one extra parking space and the roaster will use two spaces. Since it is a temporary use, an interim use permit can overcome that and allow staff to see the impact. There is on-street parking available, as well as parking spaces north of Gabella. Chair Kurtz asked if the primary customers are pedestrians or those inside the restaurant. Planner Sharpe deferred to the applicant but stated that in his experience, most of the customers are not from inside the restaurant. Most people walk up and pay at the roaster. Commissioner Prewitt asked if the expectation is that the permit would renew each year or would they need Planning Commission approval. Planner Sharpe stated that staff would look to amend the ordinance so that the interim use permit would not be needed yearly. The applicant, Fernando Mellado (6999 152nd St W.), was present for questions and comments. With no further comments or questions, Chair Kurtz closed the public hearing. Although action is not typically taken on the night of an item’s public hearing, commissioners chose to make a motion. MOTION: Commissioner Scanlan moved, seconded by Commissioner Schindler, to recommend approval of an interim use permit for an outdoor corn roaster at 6999 152nd St W., subject to conditions outlined in the draft resolution.
