(PC15-04-B) LOCATION: 7510 - 147th Street West PETITIONER: AV Bank Center, LLC CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes February 4, 2015 Page 2 of 4 Planner Tom Lovelace stated the property is the current location of a convenience store with a car wash bay and five motor fuel pump islands. The applicant is requesting site plan/building permit authorization to allow for the removal the existing structures, pavement, base and fuel storage tanks and piping for the purpose of constructing a 3,250-sq. ft. bank with 24 surface parking spaces and three drive-up lanes. The site plan identifies five vehicle-stacking spaces in the drive-up lanes. City code currently requires a minimum of six spaces. The property, located at 7510 - 147th Street West, currently has one driveway access of 147th Street West and two off Glenda Drive. Part of the redevelopment of the site would include the removal of the 147th Street West access. The applicant would replace the driveway with a new curb and sidewalk, which shall be consistent with the existing ring route design. This would also require the installation of streetscape amenities consistent with the current ring route design. No pedestrian connections are proposed from the site to sidewalks along 147th Street West and Cedar Avenue. Those connections should be made as part of this redevelopment project. A bike rack should be installed on-site. Construction of a trash enclosure and screening of any mechanical systems shall be done in accordance with City requirements. He stated the applicant has not indicated if they are going to use the existing sanitary sewer and water services. To avoid cutting into 147th Street West in order to reach sewer and water lines, every effort should be made to re-use these services. The applicant would be required to infiltrate storm water onsite in accordance with City regulations. This may require soil borings and testing to ensure that the soil in the area of any infiltration feature is not contaminated. No on-site fire hydrants are shown on the plans. If hydrants are needed, they shall be placed in locations as required by the City's Fire Marshal. The west elevation, adjacent to Glenda Drive did not show color interest. A metal canopy, similar to the one along the east andnorth elevation should be added to the cast stone veneer portion of the west and south elevation.
