CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 6 Mayor Hamann-Roland explained that The RAIR stands for Respect for all people, Accountability for ones actions, Integrity in all acts, and Responsible for oneself and to others. The RAIR is a mentoring group for youth between the ages of 10 and 15 serving Apple Valley and the surrounding communities. Mayor Hamann-Roland introduced Ms. Mary Jo DeLise, Executive Director, of The RAIR. The RAIR is the Adopt-A-Park group that cares for Kelley Park. Ms. DeLise presented a picture of the youth group taken at Kelley Park during the planting event on May 19, 2007. Mayor Hamann-Roland recognized Ms. DeLise with a certificate. Youths from the organization were presented with certificates and pins for their volunteer efforts. Councilmember Bergman requested the Kelley Park picture be reproduced for the Richard Kelley family. 2007 APPLE VALLEY FREEDOM DAYS Mr. Randy Johnson was present to introduce parade Chair Pat Schesso and the City liaison Bill Bird. He stated preparation for Freedom Days is a real team effort which includes various departments of the City such as Police, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. It can be challenging at times but also very rewarding. Ms. Schesso and Mr. Bird presented the various activities that would begin on June 22, for the 41st Annual Apple Valley 4th of July Celebration. The schedule of events begins with an Adapted Dance for Kids in grades 6-12 and Battle of the Bands at the Teen Center, Spirit of Cub at Cub Foods, Dancin' & Cruisin' at Bogart's Place, music in the park, kids fishing derby, Family Fun Night, an expanded petting zoo with pony rides, Rascals Rockin' Classic Custom Motor Cycle Show and music, and a parade with approximately 100 units to begin at 1:00 p.m. Fireworks will close the evening at Johnny Cake Ridge Park. Mayor Hamann-Roland confirmed that food will be served at many of the events making it easier for families to arrive earlier for the festivities and still be able to enjoy dinner. Ms. Schesso discussed establishing parking restrictions for the Freedom Days Parade as a "No Parking" zone from 6:00 p.m. on July 3, 2007, to 1:00 p.m. on July 4, 2007. Resolution No. 2007-115 MOTION: of Grendahl, seconded by Bergman, adopting proclaiming July 4, 2007, as “The 41st Annual Apple Valley 4th of July Freedom Days Celebration” and encouraging citizens to support and participate in the community-wide celebration. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Grendahl, approving celebration activities and street closures for the parade, beginning at 11:00 a.m., as requested in the Recreation Supervisor's memo dated June 4, 2007. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. Resolution No. 2007-116 MOTION: of Grendahl, seconded by Bergman, adopting establishing temporary parking restrictions for the Freedom Days Parade beginning CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 7 at 6:00 p.m. on July 3, 2007, and ending at 1:00 p.m. on July 4, 2007. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. Mr. Johnson discussed the need to amend the public right-of-way ordinance to include obstructions being set out for the 4th of July parade too many days in advance. In the past, some parade spectators have put their chairs and blankets out three and four days prior to the parade. Staff is asking Council to amend the ordinance so items set out before 9:00 a.m. on July 3, will be collected by the City’s parks maintenance staff and placed in the sports arena for pick up by the residents. Signs will be posted on the parade route alerting residents of the ordinance change. Council discussed the fact that this is a safety issue as well and the need to be proactive and remind people not to set up too early. They suggested publishing a notice in the local paper and on the City’s web-site to get the word out. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Bergman, waiving the procedure for a second reading OrdinanceNo. 813 and passing amending Section 96.06 of the City Code to allow obstructions in the public right-of-way in connection with viewing the 4th of July parade. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. 2007 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT ROLL 560 Mr. Ballenger stated this is a continuation of the public hearing previously tabled from the May 24, 2007, City Council meeting. At the previous meeting, a resident came forward with questions. Mr. Manson summarized his memo regarding this special assessment roll for public improvements. He stated staff met with the concerned property owners regarding their questions and concerns as related to the assessment. At the time of the staff meeting, it was apparent the property owners misunderstood the assessment notice believing they were responsible for the total assessment of $38,133.00, instead of their portion which is $14,391.00. Mr. Manson stated the property owners did not voice further concern with the assessment amount since $14,391.00 was the amount they had expected. Mayor Hamann-Roland asked if anyone was present to speak regarding the 2007 Special Assessment Roll 560. Hearing none, she closed the public hearing at 8:43 p.m. Resolution No. 2007-117 MOTION: of Erickson, seconded by Goodwin, adopting approving and levying 2007 Special Assessment Roll No. 560 in the total amount of $38,133.00. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2020 LAND USE MAP Mr. Lovelace presented the request for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan 2020 Land Use Map to be submitted to the Met Council. This request pertains to several sites located north of CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 8 County Road 42, directly east of Galaxie Avenue, and east of Flagstaff Avenue and along the east and west side of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. All sites are currently guided as Mixed Use and zoned either Limited Industrial or General Industrial. The study titled Apple Valley Office/Industrial Market Potential examined approximately 455 acres of land for the purpose of completing a market analysis of the subject property and determining the future demand for office/industrial space that the City needs in order to attract and retain industries and businesses that provide head-of-household jobs. The consultants estimated approximately 340 of the 455 acres would be available for development sometime in the next 20 years. The study estimated approximately 235 acres of land could be used for office/industrial uses and could be absorbed by the market by 2025. Mr. Lovelace stated that only the areas north of County Road 42 would be part of the discussion tonight. He said the consultant took a look at these sites and based on their conclusions suggested to use the market information to create a land use plan for the areas as well as develop special zoning districts to ensure efficient land use and create the highest value for both the landowner and community at large. They also suggested the City prepare a schedule for orderly development and installation of public infrastructure and determine if the City is willing to use incentives to guide and stimulate development. Lastly, the consultant suggested the City guide as much of the study area as possible to office and industrial uses until the gravel mining area becomes available in the next several years. Mr. Lovelace presented two proposals. The proposal for the north section of the Magellan property, Hub Management, is eager to go and would like to start the approval process. Their proposal includes office/flex and office/showroom on the site. Mr. Lovelace presented proposals for the northern parcel of Area C submitted by the owner, Venstar, LLC. Option 1 would be 100 percent residential to include townhouses and apartments. Option 2 for this same site could be mixed use to include office/industrial space and apartment dwelling units. Staff took a look at several different properties and identified uses. Mr. Lovelace stated that Nino Pedrelli, from Venstar, LLC, is present and would address the Council if desired. Mayor Hamann-Roland readdressed that Area C that was in the study. She was confirming if the Venstar area was designated just Mixed Use. Mr. Lovelace stated at the time staff was creating the 2020 Plan, the Venstar land was designated Mixed Use and staff was looking at larger tracks of land with the expectation that the 80 acres of the Magellan land and 80 acres of the Hanson land would be available. Councilmember Erickson was concerned with the northern section of Area C because it is bordered by residential on the north and east sides and is dissected by the pipeline from the CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 9 southwest to the northeast easement. He is not comfortable designating that parcel as Industrial since it is adjacent to homes on the north and east side. Mr. Lovelace pointed out that at the public hearing several neighbors were present and were torn between the two proposals. Some were opposed to the apartments and some were opposed to the industrial. They spoke from both sides on the proposal Venstar had before them. Councilmember Erickson questioned whether the City can propose safeguards to buffer the houses on the north and east sides if it is zoned Industrial. He was concerned of putting industrial next to single family homes. Mr. Lovelace stated the City would institute performance standards to ensure it would be compatible with the multi-family development to the east and the single-family development to the north. Councilmember Goodwin expressed concern with the Mixed Use area because the pipeline goes through it. He asked what the Planning Commission recommended for the northern part of Area C. Mr. Lovelace stated the Planning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval to redesignate Area A from Mixed Use to Industrial and that it was a split vote of 4-3 to recommend approval of the northern parcel of Area C from Mixed Used to Industrial. Currently, the parcels are guided Mixed Use. Councilmember Grendahl prefers Industrial in northern Area C. She stated that Area A currently abuts residential housing and noted the similarity between parcels Area A and Area C. She commended the staff and Planning Commission on their work. Councilmember Bergman showed concern for the pipeline in the northern section of Area C. He agrees Area A and the northern Area C are very similar. He questioned what the reason the individual from the Planning Commission gave for voting against redesignating Area A from Mixed Use to Industrial. Mr. Lovelace stated the Commissioner did not give a reason. Councilmember Bergman commented on the northern Area C, stating that with the Wirsbo project out there, residents already know what industrial is. Councilmember Erickson said that the difference between Area A and Area C is that in Area A the commercial development was built before the residential development. People knew what was across the street from them when they moved in. He asked if it is possible to keep the light industrial classification in the northern part of Area C because it does somewhat limit the intensity of the industrial development. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 10 Mr. Lovelace stated that the City is changing the zoning on it. He asked Councilmember Erickson if he is asking for a Mixed Use. Councilmember Erickson asked if there is a Comp Plan designation which addresses light industrial. Mr. Lovelace confirmed the City just has a general classification that addresses the Business Park zoning as well as the two industrial zoning designations that is all combined into industrial designation. Mayor Hamann-Roland asked if there was any way they can protect it and make it all a light industrial or Limited Industrial area. Mr. Lovelace stated the City could certainly look at something like that and possibly include it in the requirement for the update of the 2030 Comp Plan staff is working on currently. Councilmember Erickson stated if the Council feels it is appropriate to look at the light industrial zoning he would vote for it; without it, he would likely vote against it. Mayor Hamann-Roland asked if there is any way the City can place that into the section just beyond where the pipeline is. Mr. Lovelace stated staff could certainly take a look at that. Right now the City is submitting the Plan to the Met Council for its review. It will come back to the City Council for final approval. Within the interim, staff could investigate Councilmember Erickson's request to see what can be done. Mayor Hamann-Roland stated this proposal needs a 4/5 vote. She asked if there was a way the City can get to light industrial in that piece and if they could get to that today. Mr. Dougherty stated that the land is already zoned Limited Industrial. If Council wants to change some of the parameters that can go on Limited Industrial, then staff can review that. Councilmember Goodwin clarified that what goes to the Met Council is this big Comp Plan as industrial generally and the City already has a light industrial zoning on it. The Comp Plan does not get a specific. Since it already is light industrial this Council would have to change that zoning. Councilmember Bergman stated he is comfortable with it but he does not want to get locked into light industrial if Wirsbo decides to really expand all the way across on that land. He is questioning where Wirsbo fits in because the City has a major tenant coming in and he does not want to limit himself to light industrial. Councilmember Goodwin stated it is light industrial right now. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 11 Mr. Nordquist stated there has been contact by Uponor Wirsbo with Venstar to discuss some of the office training non-manufacturing types of industrial uses consistent with their business. Mr. Lovelace confirmed by the zoning map that the Uponor site is Limited Industrial so that use is permitted within that zone. Councilmember Erickson stated on Area A townhomes were really built to buffer themselves from the business site. His concern is with Area C because it buts up to people's backyards and there is no buffer. Councilmember Goodwin stated that is why he does not want the apartments there. Councilmember Erickson stated he does not want industrial there either. Mr. Nino Pedrelli of Venstar, LLC, addressed the Council describing his parcel of land in the northern Area C. He stated the southern part of Area C Venstar once owned and sold to Wirsbo in order for them to stay in town. He said the whole concept of the plan was to provide a buffer area around the townhomes and single family homes. Mr. Pedrelli is suggesting there is a deeper buffer than required for set back and once they get into the planning there would be a more significant buffer. He feels since the site is surrounded on two sides by residential and two sides by industrial, that this site deserves a little special attention. Maybe a little flexible zoning should be addressed here rather than placing a Limited Industrial zone on it. Resolution No. 2007-118 MOTION: of Grendahl, seconded by Goodwin, approving amending the Comprehensive Plan 2020 Land Use Map, and authorizing submittal to the Metropolitan Council. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1. (Erickson) Mr. Lovelace stated that staff is trying to get the Comp Plan consistent with the zoning. LIQUOR SALES AT VALLEYWOOD GOLF COURSE Mr. Johnson said staff has been looking at different ways to enhance the revenues at Valleywood Golf Course and a suggestion that came from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee was to advance to liquor sales at the golf course. Currently Valleywood sells 3.2 malt liquor. This amendment to the ordinance would allow for Valleywood to sell strong beer, wine and spirits. Councilmember Bergman asked what the Committee's recommendation was and how Valleywood was planning to approach this. He asked if this would be controlled by size of glass and checks to ensure no drinks are sold to minors. Mr. Johnson stated they would definitely be going to strong beer and wine immediately upon approval and looking at spirits at a later date. He said they would be working with the liquor control agency to have everything in place. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 14, 2007 Page 12 MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Bergman, waiving the procedure for a second reading Ordinance No. 814, and passing amending Chapter 111 of the City Code to regulate alcoholic beverages to allow establishing on-sale liquor stores. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. JULY MEETING DATES Mr. Lawell suggested the workshop session on July 12 start at 6:00 p.m. He said the dedication for Kelley Park will be held on July 10, at 4:00 p.m. to accommodate the Kelley family. MOTION: of Grendahl, seconded by Bergman, changing the start time for the Informal Council Meeting on July 12, 2007, to 6:00 p.m., and setting a Special Informal Council Meeting on July 10, 2007, at 4:00 p.m., at Kelley Park for the park dedication. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. CALENDAR OF UPCOMING EVENTS Mr. Lawell suggested an additional item be added to the calendar of upcoming events. On July 11, 2007, staff will conduct a tabletop exercise with Dakota County Emergency Management Division. The purpose is to test the recently completed City of Apple Valley Avian Influenza Continuity of Operations Plan. The exercise will be held at 2:00 p.m. at the Municipal Center. City staff will attend and Council Members may also attend if they wish to do so. MOTION: of Erickson, seconded by Grendahl, adding the tabletop exercise at 2:00 p.m. on July 11, 2007, to the calendar and approving the revised calendar of upcoming events as included in the City Clerk’s memo dated June 14, 2007, and noting that each event listed is hereby deemed a Special Meeting of the City Council.
