PRESENT: Mayor Branning; Councilmembers Goodwin, Holton and Humphrey; Administrator Asleson and City Clerk Mueller. ABSENT: Councilmember Savanick. Mayor Branning called the meeting to order at 8:00 p.m. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Holton, approving abatements of real estate property taxes, as recommended by the Dakota County Assessor, for parcels numbered 01-16401-110-01, 01-20510-140-01, 01-20510-150-01, 01-20510-160-01 and 01-20510-170-01. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0. TAX ABATEMENTS The Council received Rick Kelley's memo dated June 6, 1985, concerning CARROLLTON final approvals requested for the Carrollton Estates development. Mr. ESTATES Gretz said several items remain to be agreed on before final action-- Installation of an eight-foot wide pathway, instead of sidewalk, along Hayes Road, 145th Street and Pennock Avenue which is acceptable to the developer. Length of the City's option on the library/park site; the City requested 10 years, the devel- oper offered five years with the stipulation the City not exercise it for three years. The developer does not agree with the berm and landscape requirements for the commercial area along County Road 42. Mr. Kelley reviewed the six zones contained in the proposed planned development ordinance and their variations from the zoning ordinance. Zone 1 - small lot single family detached. Zone 2 - moderate density multiple residential. Zone 3 - insti- tutional or high density multiple residential. Zone 4A - retail business with minimum 50,000 square foot building required initially; maximum of four peripheral uses and prohibits fast food, service stations and garage bays; maximum hnilding height is 20 feet; and berming and plantings along County Road 42 are specified. Zone 4B - free standing retail business and no driveway access to Pennock Avenue. Zone 5 - limited business with larger lots and 40-foot setback from]the single fam- ily area. Overall, the street rights-df-way are reduced to 50 feet for residential streets and 64 feet for collector streets with standard width driving surfaces. Mr. Winkler, the developer, said he was not aware fast food was prohibited in Zone 4A and would like to have one or two allowed. His intent is for a center similar to Apple Valley Square and they are allowed there. He thought the five-year option on the institutional site was acceptable to the City; 10 years is too long for him to hold it open. He believes the landscaping and berming along County Road 42, as proposed, would block the view of the building. A berm is all that would be necessary to screen the parking lot. Mr. Gretz showed photos of the Goodyear building along Cedar Avenue and said this is what had been envisioned by the requirements. Mr. Gretz said a five-year option on the institutional site was discussed early on, but 10 years is what the City would want. With a three-yemr moratorium on exercis- ing a five-year option, the City would really only have two years in which to act. The Carrolls intend to occupy the farm site for three years and that is one reason for not acquiring the site now. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 6, 1985 Page 2 The Council discussed the option term and Mayor Branning suggested exercise of the option based on completion of some specified portion of the development. It was generally agreed the term would be 10 years or when building permits have been is- sued for 75 percent of the units. This was acceptable to Mr. Winkler. The Council said it generally agreed with the landscaping recommended along County Road 42. Mr. Winkler said Apple Valley Square does not have the trees required here and wants to promote development, but this could be a detriment. Mayor Branning said this development faces a residential area and believes the land- scaping will be attractive. If it becomes the deciding factor when something is to be constructed, the Council might be willing to look at changing the require- ment then. Mr. Kelley said fast food uses have not been permitted in the other two commercial area planned developments (Apple Valley Commercial and Southport) and that is why only Class I restaurants are allowed. Mr. Winkler said he would like one or two fast food restaurants permitted. Ne has no particular restaurant in mind, but would like the option available and it could be restricted to the Pennock Avenue side only.
