Outlot C/Community Cares Property Rezoning — Public hearing to consider rezoning of two properties from "A" (Agricultural) to "BP (Business Park) for consistency with 2030 Comprehensive Plan designation of "IND" (Industrial). (PC15-15-Z) LOCATION: Southwest of Energy Way and Pilot Knob Road PETITIONER: City of Apple Valley CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 2 of 9 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. Planner Margaret Dykes stated that in 1994, the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) acquired a 28-acre site generally located northwest of the intersection of Pilot Knob and County Road 42 from L.G.S. Concord/ Citizens Utility to facilitate the creation of a business park. This 28-acre parcel, now called Valley Business Park, was platted in 1999. Immediately to the south of Valley Business Park is a 3.54—acre unplatted parcel that had been an old farmstead. The property is now owned by Community Cares, Inc. (5751 - 150th Street W.). Adjacent to the Community Cares site is a 0.18-acre Outlot C owned by the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority. Both properties are guided "IND" (Industrial), but zoned "A" (Agricultural). State statute (Minn Stat 473.865, Subd. 3) states that if the zoning of a property conflicts with a comprehensive plan as the result of an amendment to the plan, the zoning regulation shall be amended so as to not conflict with the comprehensive plan. The City Attorney has stated that the City should ensure that the zoning of property be consistent with its Comprehensive Plan designation. The surrounding properties, consisting of approximately 40 acres in total area, are zoned "BP" (Business Park). The City Attorney advised that rezoning the subject properties to "BP" is necessary by state law. Dale Runkle, representing Community Care and Joe Miller, commented that the property is currently being used for the Community Care food distribution and as long as it does not affect the use of the property they have no issue with the zoning change. Chair Melander asked Ms. Dykes if that use conflicts with the change in zoning and if there was a provision for grandfathering. Ms. Dykes answered that if the use operates as a warehouse and storage inside the building then it would be consistent with the zoning. There is no provision for grandfathering. City Attorney Sharon Hills clarified that the operation on the site is not consistent with Agricultural zoning now. Ms. Dykes commented that the zoning change to Business Park would bring the operation on the property into conformance. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. Ms. Dykes stated this item would come back to the Planning Commission on June 3, 2015. B. Cobblestone Lake 7th Addition — Public hearing to consider subdivision of approximately 3.7 acres of property for the purpose of constructing 37 townhomes; and the completion of a Comprehensive Land Use Map amendment and rezoning. (PC15-13-ZSB) CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 3 of 9 LOCATION: Northeast corner of Eagle Bay Drive and Dodd Boulevard PETITIONER: South Shore Development, Inc. Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the property is currently Comp Plan guided "P" (Parks and Open Space) and "MD" (Medium Density Residential /6 -12 units per acre). In 2005, the petitioner submitted an application requesting a re- designation of this property to "MD" (Medium Density Residential) as part of a 30 —unit townhouse development. On June 23, 2005, the City Council approved the submittal of the Comp Plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council for their consideration and on August 1, 2005, the Met Council approved the amendment. No final action by the City Council was taken on the proposed amendment because the petitioner withdrew their request. Rezoning the property from "A" (Agricultural) to "PD 703 /zone 9" (Planned Development), a new subzone classification that would allow for multi- family townhomes as a permitted use, would be required. This new planned development zone would be part of the Cobblestone Lake development. Approval of this new subzone would require the preparation of ordinance amendments that identify the proposed use as well as the area requirements and performance standards for the future subzone. The rezoning was also considered in 2005, and the Planning Commission recommended approval to the rezoning to "PD 703 /zone 9 ", conditioned upon approval of the Comp Plan re- designation. 155th Street West, west of Eagle Bay Drive is a four -lane divided roadway with left and right —turn lanes. Just east of the Eagle Bay Drive intersection, the street turns into Dodd Boulevard. The street at that location loses a thru lane each way and no turn lanes have been installed. Because of the volume of traffic, this street carries and loss of lanes east of Eagle Bay Drive, staff is recommending that right turn lanes be installed at the two entrances into the development. A sidewalk connection should be made along the south side of the northerly intersection to the Dodd Boulevard pathway. Staff is also recommending that a sidewalk connection be made to the pathway located in the Apple Valley East Park. Staff is recommending that a masonry treatment be added to help add more variety to the exterior. The petitioner also should investigate the incorporation of such things as bay windows, decorative sills and headers, window shutters, and width of the lap siding to help break up the massing of the buildings. Commissioner Scanlan inquired if with the steepness in grade in the southwest comer if there was an opportunity for a sidewalk to be added as a connection to the lake so this area is not so isolated as it would be a part of the planned development of Cobblestone Lake. Mr. Lovelace answered that he could talk to the developer. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 4 of 9 Chair Melander asked if these sidewalks would be part of a homeowners association that could maintain sidewalks. Mr. Lovelace answered that since this is a townhouse development it would be part of an established association that would maintain sidewalks, roads and landscaping. Rob St. Sauver, Tradition Development, commented that the sidewalk could be a challenge because of the grade, property ownership and the gas line easement that runs through there. He said he would follow all guidelines in the Cobblestone Lake area and would work with staff on elevations. Kay Seelhoff, 15606 Eagle Bay Dr., commented she is feeling impacted by this development. For nine years she has looked at this gorgeous hill and it has an emotional issue for her. She expressed concern for the property that could be graded down to her level. The whole hill would be lost and she would be looking at the back of these houses. Mr. Lovelace stated the units facing her property would be the front of the buildings not the back. Mr. St. Sauver commented that the grading would be about 20 feet of elevation change. Commissioner Scanlan asked if a visual could be available at the next meeting for the residents that would show a rendering coming from the south. Mr. St. Sauver said he could provide a cross-section. Beth Lambert, 15610 Early Bird Circle, expressed concern about this proposal with the density. She said she was told by a realtor that this particular land was zoned for green space. She asked what the advantage was to crowding units in there. She would like whoever makes this decision to go to the area and walk the neighborhood. She asked what the process was from here. Chair Melander answered that the Cobblestone development goes back about 12 years and the original plans were for more density than what is exhibited right now. He said from the Planning Commission standpoint he did not remember saving out an area to be a nice little green park or anything like that. It was planned to be built out long ago. Ms. Lambert said she may have misspoken. She commented that the realtor told her that if anything was going to be built there it was going to be ecologically sound good single-family homes. Chair Melander stated the Commission has no control over what a realtor says. Ms. Lambert said she understands that but questioned if the realtor was not correct that the land was zoned for single-family residences. Mr. Lovelace commented that part of the request was to rezone the property from Agricultural to this planned development that would allow for townhomes and a portion of this land was already zoned for medium density residential. The Comprehensive Plan designation was medium density CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 5 of 9 residential already and the other portion was guided for parkland. He stated the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council and the City Council makes the final decision to approve or deny the project. Commissioner Scanlan addressed Ms. Lambert's concerns adding that all of Cobblestone has a set of build standards for their community. The standards that her home was built are going to be the same standards that these units are going to have to be built. She can be assured that they will be of similar quality of build that it is not going to be anything less than what her home was already built to the standard. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. 6. LAND USE /ACTION ITEMS A. Schesso /Hine Fence Variance — Request for a variance allowing for increase in fence height from 3.5 feet to 6 feet where a fence is located along a rear property line, which constitutes the side lot line of an abutting lot. (PC15-12-V) LOCATION: 14334 Embry Path PETITIONER: Troy Schesso and Lisa Hine Planner Kathy Bodmer stated the applicants, Troy Schesso and Lisa Hine, 14334 Embry Path, are requesting a variance to the maximum height of a fence from 3.5' to 6' within a 17' triangle where a rear yard abuts a neighbor's side yard, based upon the fact that allowing for a 6' tall fence would not impact the neighbor's visibility and is a reasonable use of the property. In addition, the variance would allow the petitioners to preserve one of four mature evergreen trees on the northeast corner of the property adjacent to Ebony Lane. The owners have two alternatives available to avoid the variance: the first would be to simply reduce the height of the fence and make it 3.5' tall within the 17' triangle. The petitioners state that the fencing is for a dog and that the shorter fence is not an option for them. The second alternative would be to angle the fence so that the 17' sight triangle remains open. The owners state that angling the fence would require the removal of four mature evergreen trees located in the northeast corner of their property. They state that the variance would allow them to preserve one of the existing mature trees, and because the neighbor's visibility is not impacted, it's a reasonable use of the property. The primary concern the City has regarding fence heights in the 17' sight triangle is ensuring the neighbors have adequate visibility to safely exit their driveway. In the Schesso /Hine case, the increased fence height variance would not impact the neighbor's driveway visibility, as the neighbor's driveway is 51' from the proposed fence location. The existing 20' + trees are a larger obstruction than a 6' tall fence would be. The neighbors have submitted a letter in support of the requested variance. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 6 of 9 Two private utility pedestal boxes are located on the northeast corner of the property. Private utility companies have the right to remove any structures in the drainage and utility easement and would not be required to repair or replace the structure. MOTION: Commissioner Scanlan moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke, approving a variance allowing the maximum height of a fence to increase from 3.5' to 6' within a 17' sight triangle where a rear yard abuts a neighbor's side yard, subject to compliance with all City Codes and the following conditions: 1. The property owner shall construct the fence in a manner that allows a minimum clear access of 3' around the private utility pedestal boxes located on the northeast corner of the property. 2. The property owner shall install a minimum of one new tree to replace any removed trees. Ayes -4- Nays -0. B. Eriksmoen Cottages Driveway /Garage Variance — Request for a variance to allow for the retention of a second attached garage and driveway as part of a conversion of a twin -home into a single - family dwelling. (PC15 -21 -V) LOCATION: 13980 -82 Holyoke Path PETITIONER: Eriksmoen Cottages and Brett Foss City Planner Tom Lovelace stated a building permit had been issued that would allow for the conversion of an existing two — family home into a single - family home at 13980 -82 Holyoke Path. The purpose of the conversion is to allow the structure to operate as a day -care home that would be operated by Eriksmoen Cottages, Ltd., a company that provides in home foster care. More specifically, the operator would provide services to individuals transitioning from institutional and supported living to independent living they may or may not have physical disabilities as well as the need for independent living skills. Their program allows each individual private space in which they can get used to their independence and communal space where they can work on skills with support from the company's team members who will be present 24/7. The subject property is currently occupied by a twin -home on a one -acre lot. The property is currently zoned "R -5" (Two- Family Residential), which allows for two - family dwelling and any permitted, conditional or accessory use in the "R ", single family districts, as listed in §§ 155.051 through 155.053. This includes one - family detached dwellings and community -based family -care home, day -care home licensed under M.S. § 245.812, or a home for the care of the mentally or physically handicapped licensed by the state. The conversion of this structure to a single- family dwelling would be allowed by zoning, provided that the newly created single- family residential dwelling have only one attached garage and one driveway approach/driveway. Conversion of this building would require the removal of one of the driveways and the approach as well as alterations to one of the attached garages that would render it unusable for storage of passenger vehicles. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 7 of 9 The applicant would like to keep both garages and driveways /approaches and has requested approval of a variance to do so. Their reasons are to "minimize the impact our program may have on the neighborhood in which it resides" and "maximize the access to natural community supports and resources of our participants". Variances may be granted from the strict application of the provisions of this chapter, and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted, where practical difficulties result from carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of this chapter. Practical difficulties, as used in connection with the granting of a variance, mean that the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of this Code; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. The conversion of the two -home residence for the purpose of conducting a 24 -hour care result from actions created by the applicant and it does not appear that granting the variance is necessary to alleviate a "practical difficulty" since there are not unique features to the property that would render the use of the property in a "reasonable manner ". Commissioner Burke asked if there was this request in the past. Brett Foss, owner of the property, said the hardship is when you get to handicapped accessibility and the maneuvering. They have the exact same setup in other jurisdictions and there are ramps put into a garage on one side to allow for the wheelchair accessibility and the other side is for a vehicle to come in or for storage. Parking is the biggest issue. Minnesota has six months of snow. When you have staff or staff turnover, a nurse coming in, case manager, handicap accessibility or van coming in, everyone has to park on the street. To maneuver that is quite a difficulty. Another concern is if you are trying to transport somebody from one side of the duplex or now single- family home that is wheelchair handicapped accessible when it is 20 below in the middle of February and to get them from coming out through the one side exteriorly through a sidewalk because it is difficult to do it interiorly. There are four living arrangements and four people using this as a residence. It is going to single- family because they are opening up a corridor but it is not single - family lifestyle living. There are four separate units of living with the potential that all four could be handicapped accessible. He expressed concern for where their vehicles could be parked. He lived there for 10 years, this was his home. He knows all the neighbors very well. He said he talked to two of the neighbors and they said if he needed a petition signed, they understand what is coming in there from a group home perspective. They also understand that it would look a little bit silly and that is a separate issue. He commented this parking could really create an eyesore for the neighbors. He had both neighbors tell him that directly. He did not say to them anything about what he thought. It is kind of being approached in a multitude of facets. It is multiple hardships separate from what the eyesore to the community is. There is not a financial thing here for them that causes more or less or whatever. 100% are staff people and handicapped accessibility. If you have a van pull in, what are you going to do when you have a staff change and three cars parked there. They are all parked there on the street. When that plow comes by, he is not going to be CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 8 of 9 happy and that is the biggest concern. It is not to have the other garage to park vehicles in. It is not for that aspect because no one living there would have a vehicle. Commissioner Scanlan asked how many vehicles would be looking at parked there on an average day. Mr. Foss answered it is the occasion when there might be a van come up. Ron Eriksmoen, Eriksmoen Cottages, answered there would be three staff working at this location most of the day, every day. Then possibly two on the overnights and others coming and going like case managers, supervisors, nurses and nursing staff. There is traffic. It is not a cost thing nor a functionally thing. He said if you want us to remove one of the garages, that is fine. It is not going to affect the operation of what we do. Removing the driveway would not affect it either. It will only affect the neighbors. We run other programs in this community and others and the number one thing neighbors do not like about that community residential setting is the traffic. When you have the ability to keep both driveways you keep all the traffic off the street. That is important to them because they do not want to impact the community. If the community can accept what is going on there they can accept the individuals in the home and it creates a better atmosphere for people that are living there. The whole point of their program is to reduce the impact and allow people to access community resources that could not before. Those are a couple reasons why they are asking for this variance. Parking in the garage, they do not need that. If they take the overhead garage door out and turn that space into a community space indoors for individuals, it is going to be a massive wall with a service door in it, facing the street. They will not be putting a lot of windows in dressing it up. It is not going to look the same as the unit right next door. They are identical properties and one will look distinctively different and why. He said those are big issues. The two driveways for the traffic are a huge thing and are an impact on the residents of your community. Mr. Foss commented that there are also visiting families that come in from time to time. Once again there is a parking issue in the middle of winter. The property is just where the road curves right there. There are literally two spots of parking there or otherwise it is in front of somebody else's house. Chair Melander asked for clarification if we say no, that rules are rules. Does it still work for you. Mr. Eriksmoen answered yes, they will make it work. It is not going to stop them from the actual operation but the handicap access for the individuals that would be living there, it is going to be a lot longer route out to the vehicle on the driveway that goes to the street. Where they have other properties that are similar to this have been reclassified as single- family and they were allowed to keep both driveways, one driveway is for parking and one driveway is for access. There is another impact to the individuals that are living there and that is the staff impact. The staff vehicles are in the way. They want the assistance but like to actually feel like they have their own home. Chair Melander asked Mr. Lovelace if this is different than the U- shaped driveway. Mr. Lovelace answered he would have to look back at the City Code. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 6, 2015 Page 9 of 9 Commissioner Scanlan asked if there were any parking restrictions on this street. Do they allow parking on both sides. Mr. Lovelace answered that it is a local residential street and parking would be allowed but no overnight parking. Commissioner Scanlan asked what would be the restrictions of them expanding one of the current driveways to allow for additional staff parking. Mr. Lovelace said he would have to look at the regulations as to what the maximum width would be related to this property. Chair Melander inquired if the maximum number of cars parked at a residence is still four cars besides what is in the garage. City Attorney Sharon Hills answered that is still correct and if they are going to convert to a single family house that they would need to comply with all the ordinances related to parking restrictions. MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Scanlan to continue this request to another meeting. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0. 7. OTHER BUSINESS A.

Adopt the draft resolution setting a public hearing for June 17, 2015, to consider amending PD -739, Zone 4 to allow for publicly owned parking facilities; and rezoning the following properties from "PD -739, Zone 1" to "PD -739, Zone 4 (Planned Development): a. Parcel 1: Lot 1, Block 2, Village at Founders Circle (proposed parking lot) b. Parcel 2: Lot 1, Block 3, Village at Founders Circle c. Parcel 3: Lot 2, Block 3, Village at Founders Circle Project Summary /Issues The City of Apple Valley owns several parcels of tax - forfeited property in the Central Village West area, generally located northeast of Garrett Avenue and 153 Street W. These properties are currently zoned Planned Development 739 - Zones 1 and 2. The properties were zoned according to an approved 2004 development plan. The development plan was later changed and properties replatted to their current configurations, but the original zoning boundaries remained in place with the understanding that they could be modified to accommodate new development proposals. In order to prepare the sites for development, staff believes the properties should be rezoned. However, the current zoning does not appear to be desired by the market, or consistent with development plans for the area. "PD-739, Zone 1" allows only for multi - family residential development as stand -alone uses. This zone does not allow for commercial development. "PD 739, Zone 2" allows for commercial development, as well as multi - family residential development but the residential uses must be mixed in the same building as commercial uses. In staff's opinion, the properties are unlikely to develop as residential uses or an integrated mix of commercial and residential uses. "PD -739, Zone 4" would offer more flexibility by allowing stand -alone commercial and office uses. Staff also would like to amend this subzone to allow for publicly owned parking facilities. A proposal has been discussed with the City Council to construct a 130 -space parking lot on the 1.64 -acre lot north of the Grandstay Hotel to provide for additional parking for the Central Village, and surrounding businesses. Property Location: Generally northeast of Garrett Avenue and 153 Street W.

Questions? PROJECT NAME: ISD 196 Transportation Hub Facility PROJECT DESCRIPTION Independent School District 196 requests consideration of a subdivision by preliminary plat to create a new lot, conditional use permit for operation of a bus storage and maintenance facility, conditional use permit for a screened temporary storage area for a maximum of six buses, and site plan review/building permit authorization for construction of a bus storage and maintenance facility on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street West. STAFF CONTACT: Kathy Bodmer, Planner DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Independent School District 196 PROJECT NUMBER: PC15-20-SCBG APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: April 29, 2015 June 27, 2015 August 26, 2015 city of App e Val ey ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5B May 20, 2015 Public Hearing Proposed Action • Open public hearing, receive comments, close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public hearing. Project Summary/Issues Independent School District 196 wishes to construct a transportation hub facility on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street West. The facility would include a bus garage for storage of 84 buses, bus maintenance, office, fenced temporary storage for a maximum of six buses, and a free standing bus wash and fueling area. The zoning ordinance does not specifically list a bus storage and maintenance facility as a use in the I-1 zone. However, a truck and freight terminal and maintenance facility is allowed by conditional use permit in the zoning district, which is similar to a bus storage and maintenance facility. The proposed subdivision of the 15.8-acre property will create a 10.2-acre lot for the transportation hub facility and a 5.6-acre outlot for future development. ISD 196 and the property owner propose to not extend Evendale Way out to Johnny Cake Ridge Road as previously planned. Instead, the property owner proposes to terminate Evendale Way with a cul-de-sac south of the pipeline easement that bisects the property. The owner will request a vacation of the Evendale right-of-way dedicated north of the cul-de-sac. Vacation requests are reviewed by the City Council. Three access points are shown to the site: a right-in right-out access onto Johnny Cake Ridge Road and full access onto Upper 147 Street West and Evendale Way. The primary entrance to the site will be the Upper 147 Street West driveway. The Assistant City Engineer is concerned about the location of the access on Johnny Cake Ridge Road and would like to have it moved north to provide a right turn lane with a minimum stacking of two buses plus a 60' taper. A preliminary traffic study was conducted by the School District which will be reviewed by the Assistant City Engineer. The Assistant City Engineer provided a memo which identifies several technical issues related to the project. Currently, no water lines are shown extended to the buildings. In addition, there are gaps in the grading plans that will need to be confirmed to ensure proper stormwater drainage within the site. A plan showing the future full build -out of the site is needed to confirm easements and utility locations. The proposed facility would be located immediately south of the Scottsbriar neighborhood. Screening of the facility from the neighborhood to the north is proposed to be a combination of 8' tall wood privacy fence and landscaping. The School District has hired a noise consultant, David Braslau, to analyze noise levels that will be generated by the facility. Buffering between the residential neighborhood and the proposed facility will be essential and staff is concerned about the adequacy of the screening provided. A cross - section drawing is needed to evaluate the proposed screening. Budget Impact None. Attachment(s) 1 Engineering Memo 2. Fire Marshal Memo 3. Crime Prevention Memo 4. Location Map 5.

A bus storage and maintenance facility is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation. However, the site is immediately adjacent to the Scottsbriar neighborhood which raises the following issues addressed in the Comp Plan: 1. "An important value of the City is to preserve the vitality, social interaction and cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods. One technique that can support this value is to require buffers to protect property values, provide neighborhood identification and promote aesthetically pleasing developments (p. 4-4)." 2. "Desirable uses in employment areas should consist of office, office-showroom, services, medical, health care, research and development and forms of light industrial land use that produce minimal noise, odor, or other forms of pollution. Undesirable uses are those that have high levels of noise, traffic congestion, odor, dust, vibration, lighting, and unmitigated contamination (pp. 4-5 to 4-6)." Zoning: The property is zoned "1-1" (Limited Industrial). A bus storage and maintenance facility is not listed as a permitted or conditional use in the zoning district. However, a "truck and freight terminal and maintenance garages" is listed as a conditional use and is similar to a bus storage and maintenance facility. Thus, a conditional use permit is needed for the transportation hub. A conditional use is defined in the zoning code as a use that is "... generally not suitable in a particular zoning district, but which may, under some circumstances, be suitable." The Code further states that the petitioner has the burden of proving that the use is suitable and that the standards of the zoning code have been met. Lastly, the City Council may grant a conditional use permit "if it is determined that the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the comprehensive guide plan and the purposes of the district in which the site is located and would not be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity." The zoning code requires screening of an industrial use that is within 100' of property zoned for residential use. The plans indicate that an 8' tall wood fence will be constructed along the north property line and landscaping will be installed south of or inside the fence. A cross-section drawing is needed to ensure the proposed measures adequately screen the neighboring properties. A masonry wall would provide better sound mitigation. Fencing for industrial outdoor storage areas must be maintenance-free material. Preliminary Plat: The proposed subdivision of the property shows that a 10.2-acre lot would be created for the transportation facility with a 5.6-acre outlot available for future development east of Evendale Way. ISD 196 and the property owner propose to not extend Evendale Way out to Pilot Knob Road as previously planned. Instead, right-of-way is dedicated for a cul-de-sac to terminate Evendale Way south of the pipeline easement. The property owner has submitted an application for vacation of the portion of the right-of-way previously dedicated north of the pipeline easement. The vacation hearing will be scheduled with the City Council after the public hearing for the subdivision and conditional use permits. The City Engineers are reviewing the proposed cul-de-sac to ensure the dedication of right-of-way is sufficient for a commercial cul-de-sac. Site Plan: The approximately 60,500 sq. ft. transportation hub will consist of a bus storage area, maintenance bays and office area. The 45,700 sq. ft. bus storage area will store 84 buses, 28 buses across and three buses deep. A total of 14 garage doors (two buses behind each door) will be visible on both the north side and south side of the building. The office area will be approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and provide open office, meeting space, lockers and break room for the drivers. The approximately 8,900 sq. ft. maintenance bay will have two overhead doors each on the east and west elevations. In addition to the bus storage facility, a detached 2,700 sq. ft. bus wash bay and fueling depot are also shown to be constructed on the site. Three access points are shown to the site: a right-in right-out access onto Johnny Cake Ridge Road and full access onto Upper 147 Street West and Evendale Way. The primary entrance to the site will be the Upper 147 Street West driveway. The Assistant City Engineer is concerned about the length of the right turn lane off of Johnny Cake Ridge Road which will impact the location of the access point. He would like to have the access moved north to provide a turn lane with a minimum of stacking of two buses plus a 60' taper. See his memo for additional specific requirements. A total of 126 parking spaces are needed on the site for the drivers, office and maintenance staff; a total of 152 spaces are provided. A 2,700 sq. ft. screened area is shown on the east end of the bus garage for temporary storage of a maximum of six buses awaiting repairs. Outdoor storage requires a conditional use permit (CUP). The outdoor storage area is shown screened with an 8' tall vinyl privacy fence. The Assistant City Engineer is requesting additional information to help review the project. First, he'd like a plan showing future full development of the site. The City plans to construct a well on the east side of the Transportation Hub property and this will help with the location and design of the well and utilities. Dimensions are needed for the curb radii, turn lanes and drive lane widths within the site plan. An Auto TURN drawing should also be provided showing bus circulation throughout the site. Traffic circulation is also needed in the area of the bus wash and fueling area. Grading Plan: The site is relatively flat. The north property line has a shared berm with the residential properties to the north. No additional berming is proposed. A Natural Resources Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land disturbing activity on the site. A stormwater drainage report and storm sewer calculations are needed. There are areas on the site that appear to be simply left undisturbed. The entire property was previously cultivated for crops, so permanent vegetative cover will be required for the Transportation Hub property. The grades should be indicated to ensure positive drainage through the site. A skimmer will be required in the catch basins adjacent to the fuel island. See Assistant City Engineer memo for additional issues and requirements. Utilities Plan: Utilities are available to the site. It will be the responsibility of the School District to obtain the permits and licenses necessary from Magellan Midstream Partners to extend the utilities under the pipeline easement. No water service is shown to the office, maintenance bays or bus storage building. The building will be required to be sprinkled, so domestic and fire water service locations will be required. A future raw water line will be extended from the City's proposed new well to the west out to Johnny Cake Ridge Road. A 15' easement will likely be needed along the north property line. Landscape Plan: The minimum value of landscape materials required on the site will be 1-1/2% the value of the construction of the building based on Means Construction Data. Landscape plantings are shown south of the 8' tall wood privacy fence along the north property line. While in time the plantings will mature and provide additional vegetative screening, it may be better to install the plantings north of the wall to help soften the view of the wall from adjacent residential properties to the north. Elevation Drawings: The exterior of the building will consist of insulated garage doors, decorative concrete block, metal fascia panels and metal roof. The roofline is notched to create a clearstory window along the length of the bus storage facility facing south. The building material for the posts in between the garage doors is not specified, but appears to be decorative masonry block. The exterior of the detached wash bay will be decorative masonry block. A canopy will be installed over the fueling area. Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: • Johnny Cake Ridge Road: Major Collector with 100' right -of -way. Current traffic volume (2010) is 7,500 trips /day. Future (2030) traffic volumes are estimated to be 16,300 trips /day. The City Engineer has identified an issue with the access driveway to Johnny Cake and would like it moved north to provide a right -turn lane that can stack two buses plus a 60' taper. • Upper 147 Street West: Minor Collector with 100' right -of -way. Current traffic volume (2013) is estimated to be 2,705 trips /day. Future volumes on this segment of Upper 147 Street were not estimated for the 2030 Comp Plan update. Depending upon the traffic generation study, a right turn lane may be needed at this location. • Evendale Way: Local street with 60' right -of -way. Because Evendale will not be extended to the west, the property owner will request that Evendale Way be terminated south of the pipeline easement with a cul -de -sac. They will request that the City vacate the portion of right-of-way north of the cul -de -sac. Vacation requests are reviewed directly by City Council. A traffic study was conducted by Wenk Associates and received just before the staff report was prepared. The Assistant City Engineer will review the information and provide an update at the meeting. Noise and Air Quality: A noise and air quality study was conducted by David Braslau, Braslau Associates, Inc. and received just before the staff report was prepared. The City Staff will review the information and provide an update at the meeting. Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian connections and crosswalks are provided from the buildings to the parking areas. However, connections are needed from the buildings and site to the City's trail system along Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street. See Assistant City Engineer's memo concerning specific modifications needed to Johnny Cake Ridge Road trail. Public Safety Issues: The Fire Code will require that all of the buildings have fire protection sprinkling system installed. No water lines are shown connected to the building at this time. Recreation Issues: None identified at this time. It is expected that the School District will provide cash -in -lieu of land dedication in connection with this development. Signs: No sign approvals are given at this time. No signs may be installed prior to the issuance of a permit. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation of any signs on the site or the building. Public Hearing Comments: To be taken.

Additional disturbances to existing storm water pond are not preferred. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main • The NE corner of Lot 1 Block 1 of Eagle Ridge Business Park Second Addition has been identified as a potential future Well Site. The City is requesting an area be dedicated as drainage and utility easement in the NE corner of site (adjacent to storm water ponding area) that would allow placement and access to future well. A 15' minimum drainage and utility easement is also requested from the identified well site to the west, south of the north property line for future raw water connection at Johnny Cake Ridge Road. • To accommodate future raw water line along north property line, the proposed 8" WM and storm sewer should be shifted south closer to the bus storage building as is feasible. • The proposed 8" water main connection at Evendale Way on sheet C1.51 is shown connecting to 12" DIP Raw water line. Revise the connection point to connect to the existing 8" DIP. The 12" DIP Raw water line should be shown as a future connection to well house. • The storm and water mains shown along the eastern property (near storm water pond) shown should be moved to the west as far as feasible to accommodate future well house piping (as well as associated landscaping). • Provide additional manhole at the end of 8" sanitary sewer line within Evendale Way right of way. • There are no water services shown to the office, maintenance bay or bus storage buildings. Please show required domestic and fire water service locations as required. The domestic and fire services are to be separated with individual valves required for each. • Provide additional drawing showing required hydrant coverage for site.

Proposed Development Characteristics 1.0 Executive Summary The purpose of this Traffic Impact Study is to evaluate the traffic impacts of a proposed new transportation hub facility for Independent School District (ISD) 196 located in Apple Valley, MN. The project site is located in the northeast corner of the Johnny Cake Ridge Road /147 Street. The proposed project location is currently vacant. This study examined weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic impacts of the proposed development at the following intersections: • Johnny Cake Ridge Road /147 Street • 147 Street /Evendale Way • 147 Street /proposed access • Johnny Cake Ridge Road /proposed access The proposed project will involve constructing a new 66,700 square foot building to house office space, maintenance bays, and bus storage. The project includes approximately 152 on -site parking spaces. As shown in the site plan, the project includes access points on 147 Street, Johnny Cake Ridge Road, and Evendale Way. The access on Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be limited to right in /right out only, while the access on both 147 Street and Evendale Way will be full movement. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2016. The conclusions drawn from the information and analyses presented in this report are as follows: • The proposed project is expected to generate 132 trips during the 600 -700 a.m. hour, 53 trip during the 700 -800 a.m. hour, 108 trips during the 900 -1000 a.m. hour, 88 trips during the 200 -300 p.m. hour, 189 trips during the 400 -500 p.m. hour, and 5 trips during 500 -600 p.m. hour. • The project includes access points on 147 Street, Johnny Cake Ridge Road, and Evendale Way. The access on Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be limited to right in /right out only, while the access on both 147 Street and Evendale Way will be full movement. • All intersections operate at acceptable levels of service during all time periods under all 2015 and 2017 scenarios. • The surrounding roadway system has adequate capacity to accommodate both existing and future forecasted traffic volumes during all time periods. As shown in the intersection operations analysis, trips generated by the proposed development have minimal impact on traffic operations at nearby intersections. Therefore, no mitigation measures are needed to accommodate the proposed project. May 8, 2015 1 -1 W WENCK AL CM= Responsive partner. Exceptional outcomes. • Trips generated by the proposed facility are spread out over multiple hours during both the a.m. and p.m. periods. This unique trip generation characteristic helps to minimize the impact of the project during any one particular time period. In addition, bus route start and end times vary during each hour, resulting in bus trips spread out and not concentrated during short time frames. • Under existing conditions, the surrounding street traffic peaks during the 700 -800 a.m. and 500 -600 p.m. hours. The proposed facility experiences peak trip generation from 600 -700 a.m. and 400 -500 p.m., which is offset from the surrounding street system peak. This offset helps to minimize the impact of the proposed facility during the peak traffic periods. • The provision of multiple access points for the project eliminates congestion at any one location and provides the most direct entry and exit location for each bus route. This reduces the likelihood of additional trips on the surrounding roadway network. • The roadways in this area are adequately designed to accommodate bus traffic. Turn lanes, lane widths, and intersection corner radii are adequate for both existing traffic and future bus maneuvers. May 8, 2015 1 -2 TAY WENCK Responsive partner. exceptional outcomes.

Specifically, traffic forecasts during the weekday a.m. and p.m. hours of 600 -700 a.m., 700 -800 a.m., 900 -1000 a.m., 200 -300 p.m., 400 -500 p.m., and 500 -600 p.m. were completed for the following scenarios: • 2015 Existing. Turn movement volumes collected in April 2015 were used for existing conditions. The existing volume information includes trips generated by uses near the project site. • 2017 No- Build. Existing volumes at the subject intersections were increased at a rate of two percent per year to account for background growth generated by other development within the immediate area. • 2017 Build. Trips generated by the proposed use and were added to the 2017 No- Build volumes to determine 2017 Build volumes. Trip Generation The expected development trips were determined from detailed bus route and on -site employee information provided by the project owner. The proposed use will generate employee trips and bus trips. Employee trips include employees entering and exiting before and after each work shift as well as other trips that occur during a typical weekday. Bus trips include all trips made by buses in and out of the site. Bus driver employees enter the site in their personal vehicle, exit the site in a bus to complete a route, return to the site in a bus, and exit the site in their personal vehicle. The trip generation also includes charter bus trips that occur later in the afternoon. Trip generation information for employee and bus trips are both presented in Table 4 -1.

PEAK HOUR TURN MOVEMENT VOLUMES MIL Intersection Level of Service Analysis 5.0 Traffic Analysis Traffic analyses were completed for the subject intersections for all scenarios described earlier during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours using Synchro software. Initial analysis was completed using existing geometrics and intersection control. Capacity analysis results are presented in terms of level of service (LOS), which is defined in terms of traffic delay at the intersection. LOS ranges from A to F. LOS A represents the best intersection operation, with little delay for each vehicle using the intersection. LOS F represents the worst intersection operation with excessive delay. The following is a detailed description of the conditions described by each LOS designation: • Level of service A corresponds to a free flow condition with motorists virtually unaffected by the intersection control mechanism. For a signalized or an unsignalized intersection, the average delay per vehicle would be approximately 10 seconds or less. • Level of service B represents stable flow with a high degree of freedom, but with some influence from the intersection control device and the traffic volumes. For a signalized intersection, the average delay ranges from 10 to 20 seconds. An unsignalized intersection would have delays ranging from 10 to 15 seconds for this level. • Level of service C depicts a restricted flow which remains stable, but with significant influence from the intersection control device and the traffic volumes. The general level of comfort and convenience changes noticeably at this level. The delay ranges from 20 to 35 seconds for a signalized intersection and from 15 to 25 seconds for an unsignalized intersection at this level. • Level of service D corresponds to high- density flow in which speed and freedom are significantly restricted. Though traffic flow remains stable, reductions in comfort and convenience are experienced. The control delay for this level is 35 to 55 seconds for a signalized intersection and 25 to 35 seconds for an unsignalized intersection. • Level of service E represents unstable flow of traffic at or near the capacity of the intersection with poor levels of comfort and convenience. The delay ranges from 55 to 80 seconds for a signalized intersection and from 35 to 50 seconds for an unsignalized intersection at this level. • Level of service F represents forced flow in which the volume of traffic approaching the intersection exceeds the volume that can be served. Characteristics often experienced include long queues, stop- and -go waves, poor travel times, low comfort and convenience, and increased accident exposure. Delays over 80 seconds for a signalized intersection and over 50 seconds for an unsignalized intersection correspond to this level of service. May 8, 2015 5 -1 V WENCK A. anti Responsive partner.

Overall Traffic Impacts The surrounding roadway system has adequate capacity to accommodate both existing and future forecasted traffic volumes during all time periods. As shown in the intersection operations analysis, trips generated by the proposed development have minimal impact on traffic operations at nearby intersections. Therefore, no mitigation measures are needed to accommodate the proposed project. Trips generated by the proposed facility are spread out over multiple hours during both the a.m. and p.m. periods. This unique trip generation characteristic helps to minimize the impact of the project during any one particular time period. In addition, bus route start and end times vary during each hour, resulting in bus trips spread out and not concentrated during short time frames. Under existing conditions, the surrounding street traffic peaks during the 700 -800 a.m. and 500 -600 p.m. hours. The proposed facility experiences peak trip generation from 600 -700 a.m. and 400 -500 p.m., which is offset from the surrounding street system peak.

Predicted sound levels are compared the state noise standards for residential land use and with existing ambient sound levels. Air pollutant concentrations are compared with state ambient air quality standards. Ambient sound levels were measured at two sites near the residential neighborhood immediately north of the proposed facility to establish an existing background level, and bus sound levels were monitored at the Eden Prairie transportation facility to confirm a data base from previous studies of school bus activity. Future noise levels from the proposed facility were modeled with the MinnNoise traffic noise model assuming 66 buses entering the facility on the south from 147 Street and 18 buses from the west from Johnny Cake Road. It is assumed that all 84 buses will enter the site and park in the garage in a one -hour period between 3:30 and 4:30 pm. Predicted levels at the nearest residences are below the state daytime noise standards which are applicable ion this period. Future noise levels are expected to exceed the existing ambient level and a 1 2-foot fences along the north property is recommended to minimize these levels. Diesel school bus air emissions were based upon data from the US EPA and used in a traffic dispersion model assuming 84 school buses within a one -hour period. Predicted concentrations of air pollutants are expected to be well below the state ambient air quality standards. David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Study Description This Noise and Air Quality Assessment Report presents results of noise monitoring and noise and air quality modeling of potential impacts from the proposed Apple Valley Transportation Hub on adjacent residential properties. Location of the proposed new facility relative to adjacent land uses is shown on the aerial photo in Figure 1.1. This assessment is based upon ambient sound level monitoring near the closest residential area, sound level monitoring of school bus activity at the existing Eden Prairie Transportation Hub, and noise and air quality modeling of bus movement at the new facility. 1.2. Study Objectives The objectives of the study are to estimate potential noise and air quality impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood from school bus activity at the new facility. Compliance of future sound levels with the Minnesota state noise standard and with state ambient air quality standards will be established. Predicted sound levels are compared with existing ambient sound levels to determine the potential increase in sound level. Mitigation is considered where levels exceed state noise standards or are significantly above the ambient level. The state noise standards are summarized in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 State Noise Standards 1 oise Area Classification 1 oise Metric I AC -1 residential and sensitive areas 1 AC -2 commercial 1 AC -3 industrial 60 65 75 65 70 80 50 65 75 55 70 80 The L50 refers to levels that occur more than 50% of an hour while the L10 refers to levels that occur more than l0% of an hour. The daytime period includes hours between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm. The nighttime period includes hours between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. Table 1.2 summarizes the state ambient air quality standards most applicable to diesel school bus emissions. David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Project Description Access to the bus garage is from 147`" Street on the south and Johnny Cake Road on the west. Most of the buses are likely to use the south entrance because of their destinations. This assessment assumes that 66 buses arrive using the south approach and 18 buses arrive using the west approach for a total of 84 buses in the afternoon within the period of one hour between 3:30 and 430 pm. These will travel along the roadway just south of the residential area to access the bus garage from the north. This is considered to be the worst case scenario since buses in the morning will depart from the bus garage to the south, away from the residential area. Other activities on the hub property such as washing buses will take place south of the garage. David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Ambient Noise Monitoring Ambient sound level measurements were taken on Wednesday afternoon April 29, 2015 between 3:30 and 5:30 pm to include the 3:30 to 4:40 pm period when buses are expected to return to the garage in the afternoon. Location of the two monitoring sites are shown with red dots on Figure.1.1. Photographs of the two sites, labeled the East Site and West Site, are shown on Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2. The second by second time level history (dBA or A- weighted decibels) at the East Site is shown on Figure 2.3, for the West Site on Figure 2.4 and time histories for both sites are shown for comparison on Figure 2.5. The numerous peaks on these figures are aircraft over- flights on approach for Runway 17 at MSP. Figure 2.6 is an enlarged excerpt from the time history at the west monitor showing two approaches close together. The ambient level for this period without aircraft overflights is seen to vary between about 40 and 42 dBA. Statistical levels for these sites are presented in Figure 2.7 (East) and Figure 2.8 (West). At the East site, where traffic has less influence on the sound level, the ambient level or L90 (without intermittent sound such as aircraft) varies from 38 to 40 dBA in the 3:30 to 3:40 time period. At the West side, which is closer to Johnny Cake Road, the L90 varies from 40 to 43 dBA Flight racks for April 29 at 4 pm are shown on Figure 2.9 and the heavily used approach Runway 17 is clearly seen. However, flight tracks for May 7 at 4 pm, for example, show essentially no flight tracks near the study area (Figure 2.10). Therefore, the ambient sound level that was observed on April 29 when no aircraft overflights were occurring will be used as the ambient sound level for comparison with noise from the proposed bus facility. 2.2. Bus Activity Noise Monitoring Extensive sound level monitoring had been performed for another bus facility in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and a typical sound level source at 50 feet for modeling bus activity noise was already developed. However, to confirm this level, sound level monitoring of returning school buses was performed at the District 196 transportation facility in Eden Prairie. Readings were taken on Friday April 17. 2015. Location of the monitoring site in Eden Prairie is shown on Figure 2.11 to capture the maximum passby sound level and not the overall hourly sound level at this point. Representative passby time histories are shown on Figure 2.12. The maximum levels, adjusted to a distance of 50 feet, were within 1 dB of previously established source data Therefore, data from the more extensive previous study was confirmed. 2.3. Bus Noise Modeling The MinnNoise traffic model was used to estimate sound levels at the eleven closest homes north of the proposed facility. Approach paths from the south and west assumed in the model are shown on Figure 2.13. A speed of 15 mph was assumed along the dotted path. This path effectively represents movement of the buses to the garage entrance where the sound level will be low relative to the moving and passby levels. David Braslau Associates, Inc. Page 4 Independent School District 196 Apple Valley Transportation Hub It has been assumed that 66 buses approach the garage from the south approach and 18 from the west approach and that these buses fill the first available spaces. Since an hour -long interval is being evaluated and six buses will be entering each of the 14 doors during the hour, the exact sequence how this takes place does not appear to be critical. Predicted levels for the South and West approaches are presented in Figure 2.14 and compared with the state L10 daytime noise standard and an average monitored ambient value of 42 dBA. 2.4. Noise Mitigation While predicted sound levels from the buses are well below the daytime L10 standard, it can be seen from Figure 2.14 that predicted worst case levels could exceed the ambient level by significant amounts. As a noise mitigation measure, a 12 foot fence along the property line was evaluated. The resulting bus sound levels are compared with the ambient level in Figure 2.15 and seen to exceed the ambient at some locations by up to 10 dBA. It should be noted here that this level will only occur for one hour in the afternoon since buses will depart to the south in the morning hours. By comparison, it can be seen from Figure 2.6 and Figure 2.8 that the LIO from aircraft can be over 50 dBA for more than one hour when there are operations in this area. As an additional mitigation measure, the garage doors on the north side will be closed until the majority of buses have left in the morning. Other measures that will minimize sound levels at the adjacent residences are keeping the doors closed in the morning when buses depart and avoiding the use of backup alarms.

Diesel School Bus Emissions Diesel bus emissions are taken from the US EPA Emission Fact Sheet "Average In -Use Emissions from Urban Buses and School Buses" EPA420 -F -08 -026, October 2008. These emissions are shown in Table 3.1. Table 3.1 Assumed Diesel School Bus Emissions (Average emission rates in grams per mile) These values are for the year 2008. Significant improvements have been made in diesel emissions since then so that the results here are likely to be very conservative. 3.2. Air Concentration Modeling The CAL3QHC traffic dispersion model has been used to estimate concentrations for gaseous pollutants. An atmospheric stability class D has been assumed which is likely to occur under low wind conditions in the aftemoon. A low wind speed of one meter /sec (2.2 mph) has been assumed from the south for worst case concentrations at the nearest homes. A "traffic flow" of 84 buses at 15 mph has been assumed north of the bus garage. Particulate matter emissions (PM 10 and PM 2.5 particle size Tess than 10 microns and 2.5 microns) have been estimated at a typical home 130 feet from the traveling buses using a simple point- source atmospheric dispersion mode. The "source" consisted or 84 buses in a one hour period each with an emission rate of .0023 gram/sec for PM 2.5 and 0.0025 gram/sec for PM 10. Resulting concentrations compared with the most stringent Minnesota air quality standards are presented in Table 3.2. David Braslau Associates, Inc.

Observation of returning school bus activity at the Eden Prairie garage showed that bus engines are turned off immediately after parking so that idle emissions do not significantly contribute to total concentrations.

David Braslau Associates, Inc. Page 22 Independent School District 196 Apple Valley Transportation Hub 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon this noise and air quality assessment of the proposed bus transportation facility in Apple Valley, the greatest impacts from noise are likely to occur in the mid - afternoon period when all of the buses return to the garage and enter from the north. Some other sounds may be associated with normal activities such as bus departures and bus washing, although these will be mostly shielded by the garage. With garage doors open during the day, some of these sounds may be heard but will be lower than those associated with bus movement closest to the residential area. No significant air quality impacts are expected to be associated with the facility, with estimated levels well below state standards. Mitigation of noise with a fence along the north property line and maintaining closed garage doors when most buses depart in the morning will minimize noise impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood. y:\ jobs\ 2015jobs\ 215018\applevalley= transporthub- report-ver0l .doc David Braslau Associates, Inc.

We live at which will be right behind the projected facility. We have concerns about the air quality and noise level that will be affecting us. Even with berms and noise reduction fences it is in our opinion a poor choice for this property. The property values of the homes affected will go down and if we wish to sell in the future who would want to buy a house that abuts a bus garage! Would you want to buy a property like that? Also, is there no other property available that has been looked at that would be better suited? I know of 3 that are just east of Johnny Cake which have no adjacent housing, the one next to the new business center that just opened, the old Fisher Concrete plant, and the one right next to Fisher concrete which is for sale by Menard's. It seems the only reason this location was chosen was because it is considerably cheaper due to the gas line running through the middle. I don't believe choosing money over people is the ethical thing to do. Did anyone think of the neighbors this will affect? Sincerely, From: Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 9:54 AM To: Grawe, Charles Subject: Johnny Cake & 147th - Proposed Transportation Hub Mayor Mary & Councilmembers: I'm writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed school bus transportation hub at the corner of Johnny Cake and 147th Street. I attended the informational meeting on March 30, 2015 and came away with numerous concerns about their plan. Although I have many concerns about this project, my main concerns are as follows. 1. Pollution - Air, noise & light pollution will all become factors if this hub is allowed to be built. My 10- year -old son attended the meeting with me and said "If they build this, I won't be able to play in the back yard because of all the exhaust." 2. Traffic - The increase in traffic in and around that intersection is going to be horrendous and will likely cause more congestion, accidents, and difficulty for those coming in and out of our neighborhood. 3. Visually unappealing - Their plan puts the back of the bus garage very close to the back of my property. Even though they have a plan for a visual barrier, I just don't see how it's adequate at all. This is definitely not something I want to see when I look out my windows or am enjoying my yard. 4. Land - In my opinion, their plan to extend the existing berm for the visual barrier is not a plan. Not only would they be encroaching on my property making the very back of my yard virtually unusable, the existing, well - established & mature trees would be put at risk. 5. Property Value - If this bus hub is allowed to be built, 1 can only see the value of my property decreasing. I take great pride in my home and yard and do not want to see all my hard work devalued. I do appreciate what they are trying to accomplish by creating a centralized hub. However, I don't feel this plot of land is the appropriate place for it. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, From: Superintendent [mailto: Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 11:20 AM To: Cc: Dukek, Randy; Solomon, Jeff; Bodmer, Kathy; Duchscher, Rob; Magnuson, Jackie; Albright, Joel; Coulson, Art; Huusko, Gary; Roseen, Mike; Schutte, Bob Subject: Transporation hub to be located on the Northeast corner of 147th Street & Johnnycake Ridge Road Dear Mrs. Futhey: Thank you for sharing your concerns about the transportation facility. As Chairperson Duchscher emailed you, I will respond on behalf of the board. At the meeting on March 30, residents of your neighborhood learned of the process the district followed in searching for a property. The site was chosen because of its location, size and appropriate zoning. Abutment to residential areas was not one of the criteria used during the land search because berms and plantings can be used to mitigate disruption to residential neighbors. I understand your concerns about traffic in and out of the neighborhood. Busses will exit the garage through the southern side of the facility in the morning and many will not return until their routes are completed at the end of the day, mitigating the noise and traffic that might be associated with a transportation facility. Evening bus traffic is rare, and summer bus traffic is Tight as well. We are in the process of conducting traffic and environmental studies of the facility. The anticipated $500,000 savings on the $17 million transportation budget will come from decreased mileage and driver -time costs, as well as the ability to eliminate contracted bus services (Marschall Line, Inc. currently operates 32 busses in the district resulting in increased costs). Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon (jeff.solomon(aidistrict196.org) or Coordinator of Transportation Randy Dukek (randy.dukek@district196.org) would be happy to meet with you to share more details about how they arrived at the cost savings. Again, thank you for coming forward with your concerns. I am copying the City of Apple Valley with your email and this response. It is important that we work together with our communities on projects affecting the school district and residents. Sincerely, Jane K.

Jane, please reply. Thanks From: ] on behalf of Kirk Futhey Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2015 2:37 PM To: Duchscher, Rob; Jackie Magnason; Gary Huusko; Art Coulson; Joel Albright; Schutte, Bob Subject: Transporation hub to be located on the Northeast corner of 147th Street & Johnnycake Ridge Road My name is Maggie Futhey and I live at 144th Street West in Apple Valley, MN. I have been an Apple Valley resident for 25 years. I have some concerns regarding the plans for the new transportation hub that I am hoping you will consider. My house is alongside the property that has been chosen for this transportation hub and while the property has been zoned light industrial for the entire 25 years I have lived here, it is less than desirable to have a "Bus Barn" in my backyard. When I attended the informational meeting that was held on March 30th I learned that there will be 84 buses housed there as well as fulltime staff and a facility that will operate 365 days a year. My initial concerns were air and noise quality, but once I learned of all the vehicles that will be moving in and out of this facility, traffic concerns have moved to the top of the list. But are not my only concerns. This area is already heavily traveled with Eastview High School located just north and west of this location, in addition to Scott Highlands Middle School and Highland Elementary as well as Johnnycake Ridge Park. As you know with any high school there are a lot of young and inexperienced drivers coming and going 9 months of the year. With the addition of 84 school buses in the area coming and going at the same time as these young drivers it becomes a greater concern. Those of us who live in the housing area between 147th street and 1 42nd street already have a difficult time leaving the neighborhood to get to the main arteries of Johnnycake Ridge Road and Pilot Knob Road In addition, the City of Apple Valley is helping the business "Uponoor" to grow and will be adding an additional 100 jobs in the near future which is located on the north side of 147th street. During the informational meeting Mr. Solomon indicated that several sites were considered in Apple Valley for this facility. When I asked him if any of the other sites had housing developments next to the site, he said "no ". It has also, been communicated that the district will save 500,000 per year in reduced driver time, fuel and contracted transportation costs. If this is true, couldn't that savings, be used to find a location that wasn't so disruptive to a residential area. This residential area is also, part of ISD 196 and I would respectfully request that ISD 196 consider another location for this transportation hub. In addition I am requesting documentation that shows how this savings was computed. I would also request that the school district consider noise and air quality studies in addition to traffic studies for this area. As a City of Apple Valley taxpayer, an ISD 196 taxpayer and a Minnesota Resident, I feel like there could be more consideration taken with this project.

PROJECT NAME: 13980 -82 Holyoke Path Garage and Driveway Variance Request PROJECT DESCRIPTION Request for a variance to allow for the retention of a second attached garage and driveway as part of a conversion of a twin -home into a single- family dwelling, located 13980 -82 Holyoke Path. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Eriksmoen Cottages PROJECT NUMBER: PC 15 -21 -V APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: April 23, 2015 June 21, 2015 August 20, 2015 0* City of Apple VaIIey ITEM: 6A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: May 20, 2015 SECTION: Land Use /Action Items Proposed Action If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending that the variance request to allow for the retention of a second attached garage and driveway as part of a conversion of a twin -home into a single- family dwelling, located 13980 -82 Holyoke Path be denied based upon the following findings: 1. Special conditions do not apply to the structures or land in question that are particular to the property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district or vicinity in which the land is located. 2. The special conditions or circumstances are the result of the actions of the owner /applicant; and 3. The granting of the variance will serve as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to alleviate any practical difficulties as defined the zoning ordinance. Project Summary /Issues A building permit has been issued that will allow for the conversion of an existing two - family home into a single- family home at 13980 -82 Holyoke Path. The purpose of the conversion is to allow the structure to operate as a day -care home that will be operated by Eriksmoen Cottages, Ltd., a company that provides in home foster care. More specifically, the operator will provide services to individuals transitioning from institutional and supported living to independent living they may or may not have physical disabilities as well as the need for independent living skills. Their program allows each individual private space in which they can get used to their independence and communal space where they can work on skills with support from the company's team members who will be present 24/7. The subject property is currently occupied by a twin -home on a one -acre lot. The property is currently zoned "R -5" (Two- Family Residential), which allows for two - family dwelling and any permitted, conditional or accessory use in the "R ", single family districts, as listed in §§ 155.051 through 155.053. This includes one - family detached dwellings and community -based family -care home, day -care home licensed under M.S. § 245.812, or a home for the care of the mentally or physically handicapped licensed by the state. The conversion of this structure to a single - family dwelling would be allowed by zoning, provided that the newly created single- family residential dwelling have only one attached garage and one driveway approach/driveway. Therefore, conversion of this building would require the removal of one of the driveways and the approach as well as alterations to one of the attached garages that would render it unusable for storage of passenger vehicles. The applicant would like to keep both garages and driveways /approaches and has requested approval of a variance to do so. Their reasons are to "minimize the impact our program may have on the neighborhood in which it resides" and "maximize the access to natural community supports and resources of our participants ". I have attached their e -mail, which goes into further detail on their reasons for the variance. Variances may be granted from the strict application of the provisions of this chapter, and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted, where practical difficulties result from carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of this chapter. Practical difficulties, as used in connection with the granting of a variance, mean that the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning code provisions; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. In considering a request for a variance and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with provisions set forth in the City code, the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the following factors: 1. Special conditions apply to the structures or land in question that are particular to the property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district or vicinity in which the land is located; 2. The granting of the proposed variance will not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter of the City code; 3. The special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the owner /applicant; 4. The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate practical difficulties in complying with the zoning provisions of this Code; and 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical difficulty. With regard to the applicant meeting these factors. The conversion of the two -home residence for the purpose of conducting a 24 -hour care results from actions created by the applicant and it does not appear that granting the variance is necessary to alleviate a "practical difficulty" since there are not unique features to the property that would render the use of the property in a "reasonable manner ". The applicant stated that there would be three staff members working at the location during the day and two staff workers onsite overnight. Additional staff will be visiting during the day. He stated that removing the second garage and driveway would not affect their operation but by having both driveways, he would be able to keep all vehicles off the street. City code states that driveways with a single approach cannot exceed 40% of the width of the lot up to a maximum of 36 feet whichever dimension is the smaller, subject to the condition that the driveway between the curb and property /right -of -way cannot exceed 30 feet in width. The existing south driveway is approximately 18 feet wide and the lot is 83 feet wide. Therefore, they could increase the width of the existing driveway by 15 feet. The area of existing north driveway is approximately 790 sq. ft. and the south driveway is 1,008 sq. ft. If they were to increase the size of the south driveway in accordance with the zoning code, they would be able to add about 443 sq. ft. of driveway to the existing 1,008 sq. ft. for a total of 1,451 sq. ft. of driveway. This additional driveway space should be able to accommodate the applicant's needs. (All dimensions are estimates. Measurements were taken from the Dakota County Geographic Information System mapping program) Please note that the zoning code states that property located in the typical residential zoning districts or planned development districts where the primary use is a single- family residence may have a maximum of four passenger vehicles, in addition to any permitted motorcycles, recreational vehicles or trailers, parked or stored outside the residence. This property would need to adhere to this requirement or would need to receive City approval of an annual "onsite parking permit" for outdoor parking of more than four, up to six passenger vehicles. Finally, removal of the north garage door and its replacement with a wall shall be done in a manner that will ensure that it will blend in seamlessly with dwelling unit's exterior finish. That will require the use the same materials that are currently on the building.

Minimize the impact our program may have on the neighborhood in which it resides. 2. Maximize the access to natural community supports and resources of our participants. Traffic and parking are commonly the most talked about impacts in the neighborhoods of our programs, keeping an additional garage and driveway would allow us to minimize the use of any on street parking while still maintaining easy access to community resources and transportation services for our participants. We make every effort to "fit in" to the neighborhoods in which our programs are located and although the removal of the overhead garage door on one of the garages would not impact our program in the least I am concerned about the aesthetics of making that change. Not only would this change stand out in the neighborhood but it may also have the negative impact of segregating our participants from their community neighbors and supports due to the "oh you live in that home..." factor. I appreciate your consideration of this variance and if I can be of any further assistance or answer any additional questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
