5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Embry Estates Second Addition — Public hearing to consider replat of two existing
residential lots of record to exchange approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of property between the two
lots at 13599 and 13609 Embry Way. (PC15-19-SF)
LOCATION: 13599 and 13609 Embry Way
PETITIONER: Michelle Klemz, and Deirdre and Larry Mechelke
Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m.
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated the owners of the properties at 13599 and 13609 Embry Way wish to
exchange approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of property between each other which would result in
reconfigured lot lines. In order to do that, the owners must replat their existing platted lots. The
two lots are fully developed, so no new development would occur as a result of the proposed
subdivision. The exchange is roughly equal between the two properties, so there will be little
impact to lot sizes. All buildings meet the required setbacks from the relocated lot lines. No other
zoning or subdivision issues have been identified.
Commissioner Alwin asked if there were any existing fences that could cause issues.
Ms. Bodmer answered that she did not believe so. She was told by one of the residents that a
surveyor would be going out soon to stake the property lines.
Chair Melander inquired for clarification that both property owners wanted to replat their land
Ms. Bodmer answered yes.
Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke, recommending
approval of the subdivision by preliminary plat of Embry Estates Second Addition,
subject to compliance with all City Codes. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0.
B. ISD 196 Transportation Hub Facility — Public hearing to consider subdivision by
preliminary plat to create 10.22-acre parcel, conditional use permit for operation of bus storage
and maintenance facility with screened outdoor storage area for no more than six (6) buses, and
site plan review/building permit authorization to construct a transportation hub facility for 84
buses. (PC15-20-SCBG)

LOCATION: Northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street West
PETITIONER: ISD 196
Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m.
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated Independent School District 196 wishes to construct a transportation
hub facility on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th 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 would 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 would 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 147th Street West and Evendale Way. The primary entrance to the site
would be the Upper 147th 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 would be reviewed by the Assistant City
Engineer.
She commented that 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 would 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 would be generated by the facility. Buffering between the
residential neighborhood and the proposed facility would be essential and staff is concerned about
the adequacy of the screening provided. A cross-section drawing is needed to evaluate the proposed
screening.

Chair Melander asked where the buses are parked now.
Ms. Bodmer answered that they are now stored in two locations, the Rosemount facility and
Diamond Path facility.
Chair Melander asked if the intent when the buses come to the proposed facility that they would be
inside the storage area with the 14 doors on each side. He asked if the buses would not be in the
parking lot area and they would be stored inside.
Ms. Bodmer stated that is a good question and that the biggest transportation times would be early
morning and then that afternoon again. We would expect some in and out traffic during the day and
that would be a question ISD 196 could answer.
Commissioner Scanlan inquired if there had been any other configuration discussed with the City so
as not to have bus storage next to the residential area by moving it south versus having it in the
north position that it is.
Ms. Bodmer replied that it had been reviewed and the idea of the garage configured north/south
rather than east /west. She said she would asked the district to provide more information on this. In
order to do the staging and get the buses in and out efficiently they would have to have two
buildings with an open corridor so the thought was that by doing this there is better screening for
the neighborhood as long as those doors are down on the north side. Earlier plans were kind of
sketched out and reviewed and that seemed to be the best layout. In terms of placing the building
south on the site, she did not believe that was reviewed but there is a challenge on the property and
that is there is a very large pipeline easement that is cutting right through middle. Putting the
building to the south would have been a challenge from a design standpoint.
Commissioner Scanlan asked if there were any elevation changes between the residential and the
proposed build area. He asked about the wall and if there are different elevations as far as wall
height and a berm or what is the proper way of screening noise control and so forth.
Ms. Bodmer commented there is a little bit variety out there because some properties do have a
berm and others do not. The City's understanding is that ISD 196 is refining their grading plan so
there is probably more work that needs to be done. So that would have to be looked at in more
detail.
Chair Melander emphasized that a 12 foot fence is an extraordinarily high fence.
Ms. Bodmer said the maximum height of the fence that the City normally would allow is 8 feet so a
variance would be needed to go up to a 12 foot fence.
Chair Melander inquired if there were plans as to how that would be designed or how it would look.
Ms. Bodmer replied that the plans so far indicate that the fence would be wood.

Chair Melander said he would like to see details on the fence before they go farther.
Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist requested clarification from Ms. Bodmer that
this is obviously one type of use that is being proposed in this type of zoning district. He asked for
a comparison of the property to the west in terms of zoning how this property is similar or different.
Ms. Bodmer replied that the two developments actually have different zoning designations but it is
a very similar use. In an I -1 zoning district office warehouse would be a permitted use. She
reviewed the different types of business facilities in the current office warehouse. There are
different uses and different activity levels. She could not go into other detail without doing further
research.
Mr. Nordquist commented that those are not owner occupied spaces but tenant spaces and a little
harder to determine what types of tenants might come into the buildings. This proposal is very
clear, exactly what is going to be moving forward. He commented he wanted to make that
clarification.
Commissioner Scanlan asked what type of material would be used for noise control and he would
like further discussion of options for noise control that may include masonry concrete versus wood
materials. He would like further feedback on the best materials to use.
Scott McQueen, Wold Architects representing ISD 196, said they looked at a number of alternatives
on this site. The gas line does bisect the property. Locating the building in a north/south direction
rather than east /west would show more bus activity. Buses would return from the north side of the
building. One -third of the buses do not come back during the day. Washing and fueling of buses
would take place on the south side of the site. Service bay location would also be on the south end.
There would be plantings and screening between the Lifeworks facility and the bus garage. There is
a significant berm now and it is mostly on the neighborhood side. There are mature trees there now.
They could add to the berm and go much higher but were told that would not work due to drainage.
Their best compromise was to start looking at a fence for screening and noise. They do not want to
affect the trees that are there now. There are some access issues that are still in discussion.
Commissioner Alwin questioned if traffic from the site would exit onto Upper 147th Street and
would continue west and then south rather than north on Johnny Cake Ridge Road.
Mr. McQueen said bus drivers take the path of least resistance. They space out their exiting like 5
or 6 buses every 5 minutes over the peak hour so as not to create a traffic Jam for themselves. They
are encouraged to do right turns, not stack up and burn as little of fuel as possible. It is all based on
efficiency. For the first month of learning this facility they will develop some patterns that are good
for the traffic system.
Commissioner Alwin confirmed that the right in/right out on Johnny Cake Ridge Road is not
necessarily the only way those buses will go when they get to Johnny Cake Ridge Road.

Mr. McQueen replied that is correct. They will find that the drivers would choose both routes.
Commissioner Diekmann asked if there were plans for an expansion to the east parcel.
Mr. McQueen answered that they had studied this. At this time they had not planned to expand.
The buses are currently housed to the east and in Rosemount. They only plan to service 1 /2 the
district buses at this location. If there is any future growth it would be in Rosemount where there is
more open land. The general trend would be more eastward.
Chair Melander asked for clarification that the reason you need this facility is for efficiency, saving
time and saving fuel.
Mr. McQueen said mostly for transport efficiency.
Chair Melander said he imagines it is difficult to find a place now that saves the buses.
Mr. McQueen answered correct.
Commissioner Scanlan asked for more detail what the architecture and colors would be.
Mr. McQueen answered they are not at a color phase yet but the storage building would mostly
consist of garage doors. There would be some slices between doors and there would be service
bays and some kind of masonry product. The office building would be mostly masonry with
windows.
Commissioner Scanlan asked if larger renderings could be brought back to the next meeting so the
general public would have a better understanding of what is going in here.
Mr. McQueen said they could start to work on it with their client.
Chair Melander asked if he could provide more information on the fueling station.
Mr. McQueen said there would be two pumps with a covered canopy and below ground tanks with
spill protection.
Mr. Nordquist asked what the center of the building height would be.
Mr. McQueen answered it would be 25 feet in height at the maximum.
Mike Erdmann, 5936 — 144th Street W., commented he is in support of the school district in
savings. Not in favor of this proposal. He had a concern for noise and traffic it will generate. He
said plans previously presented had an increase in the berm that exists on the north end of the
property. He had not heard about the 12 foot high wall. He does not agree that the berm is shared.
He would like the stakes identified. He said Wenck Associates usage data was provided by ISD
196. He would like ISD 196 to provide more information if future expansion would be possible.

He does not believe the data provided by the district was studied for the use. He had traffic
concerns with right in/right out on Johnny Cake Ridge Rd. He said there is traffic with the
Montessori school students. He has concerns for accidents. He said northbound traffic on Johnny
Cake Ridge Road that drivers need to turn right on 144th Street W. do not have a turn lane. He
expressed concern for cars driving behind him and not seeing directional signals on for a right turn.
He feels the traffic studied was not considered of buses going on 147th Street to Pilot Knob Road.
He also feels traffic was not studied at 142nd Street and Johnny Cake Ridge Road either. Usage of
the site would avoid peak hours and they agree with this. He feels their rush hour has just gotten
longer. He was skeptical of the analysis. It is not just entering into their neighborhood from the
north. There are inattentive drivers. He provided pictures of 147th Street and Johnny Cake Ridge
Road. They did not think an increased size of the hill would be erected. He thought an 8 foot wall
would be erected on top the berm. He wants the property lines identified and asked what the
setbacks are. Diagram shows 55 feet. Buses are going to be very close to where the kids use the
land for sliding during the winter and water sliding during the summer.
He commented drainage would not increase since the district does not plan to add to the berm. He
was happy to hear that idea was abandoned. He expressed concern for a 12 foot wall in his
backyard. He asked for the Planning Commission not to act on this proposal until it can be worked
out. He does not want to see a bigger hill which would be too hard to maintain. He does not feel a
12 foot wall would help preserve the integrity of the neighborhood. He does not think their
property values will be preserved and commented who wants to live next to a big noisy stinky bus
depot. It drives the property values down because less people would be interested in the property
should we choose to sell. He expressed concern for noise and the noise ordinances and feels buses
would be heard in the morning hours before 6:00. He believes the vapors would accumulate when
the wind blows from the south to the north across the fields. He expressed concern for the lights on
the north side of the building and does not know if the noise wall constructed would abate the lights
on the building.
He felt if the architect and ISD 196 had concerns for fuel consumption they should simply park the
buses at the other schools for the day. He feels if the bus drivers would consolidate then the buses
could be left at the other schools. He said he walked around the neighborhood and had a petition
with 103 signatures opposing the transportation hub.
Ms. Bodmer addressed a couple of Mr. Erdmann's questions stating that the City does not have
surveyors on staff to locate property lines. That would be the responsibility of the property owner.
The minimum building setback from the north is 60 feet and the building is shown 86 feet from that
north property line. The minimum setback for the parking lot is 20 feet and the plans show 20 feet
from the north property line.
Merle Garthune, 5887 - 144th Street W., questioned why it is that they only have one site they are
looking at. Why are multiple sites not considered. He commented he agrees a lot with the previous
speaker.

George Geiger, 14596 Europa Way, added that 84 buses means 84 drivers and their cars coming
and going will clog 147th Street and thinks this should be addressed.
Commissioner Diekmann asked ISD 196 as to what time of the year this facility will operate. Is it
just the school year or also include summer time activities.
Randy Dukek, Transportation Coordinator for ISD 196, answered that the facility would operate
during the school year during the regular school hours and some during the summer hours.
Commissioner Scanlan, questioned if the buses need to be warmed up and how long do they need to
idle.
Mr. Dukek answered that most buses are diesel and are plugged in at night in that building. Drivers
have about 15 minutes from the time they punch -in in the morning, pre -trip and leave. Idle time is
usually less than 10 minutes. Buses get warmed up as they drive to their first stop.
Commissioner Scanlan questioned that buses do not sit idling more than 5 -10 minutes.
Mr. Dukek answered correct.
Commissioner Scanlan asked what the fleet turnaround time was and when they are turned over to
new buses. New bus technology with diesel engines is not like the old diesel buses.
Mr. Dukek replied that buses are turned over at around 12 years. There was a retro fit program.
Emissions are greatly reduced.
John Prosser, 14430 Exley Lane, stated he would be impacted by the traffic on 144th Street and
142nd Street. He asked for the Commission and staff to put themselves in their position so you see
what it feels like to be in their shoes with a bus garage coming in. He thinks the Planning
Commission is opened minded. He added that they are all against this project and would like
another place looked at for this.
Ed Martin, 14639 Europa Way, commented he moved into Mistwood last year. He said there would
be fumes blowing his way and he was against it. He also expressed concern for the amount of
traffic.
Ken Franzen, 14555 Europa Ave, commented Europa Avenue should also be considered when
traffic issues are studied.
Nick Sawka, 5910 - 144th Street, added that with this facility being a maintenance facility he is sure
there will be air tools used which are extremely noisy. The fence may abate the lower level sounds
of the bus engines but there is no way it will stop the noise of that facility.
Merle Garthune, 5887 - 144th Street W., inquired why ISD 196 did not answer the question he
asked earlier as to why another site was not considered.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY

Chair Melander commented that Apple Valley has much less land devoted to industrial zoning than
other surrounding communities. There is not much to choose from in Apple Valley if you want
industrial zoning. That puts some heavy constraints on it.
Nick Sawka, 5910 - 144th Street, commented there are three properties just to the west across
Johnny Cake Ridge Road that are open and questioned why ISD 196 did not look at them.
Chair Melander reported that the Planning Commission responds to what the land proposal is. ISD
196 put in an application where they might want to locate and it is the responsibility of the Planning
Commission to respond to it.
Jay Baumgartner, 14335 Excelsior Lane, expressed that traffic is going to get worse. Traffic will
double. He referred to Bruce Nordquist's comment about land to the west. He said that is a
completely different environment there and there are no houses and no noise walls needed. He said
any development that requires a 12 foot wall is not appropriate to be butting up to houses. He feels
this is not an appropriate use for this property.
Commissioner Alwin asked Ms. Bodmer about a traffic comparison of net new versus what is there
today. He added that buses are running now.
Ms. Bodmer said the Assistant City Engineer is looking into that.
Commissioner Scanlan asked what the hours of operation of the maintenance facility would be and
how noise would be controlled.
Mr. Dukek reported that there would be full service maintenance bays and four mechanics there.
Mechanics would be there from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. The facility would not be air
conditioned and the doors would be opened.
Mike Erdmann, 5936 — 144th Street W., commented that any further traffic study should include the
Uponor expansion with additional employees. He requested that be included in the consideration.
Commissioner Burke asked Ms. Bodmer if she could find out what the wind directions by month
are in Apple Valley for the school year because a number of residents had concern about odor.
MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann, leaving the
public hearing open. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0.
6. LAND USE /ACTION ITEMS
A. Eriksmoen Cottages Driveway /Garage Variance — Continuance of 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
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Dakota County, Minnesota
Planning Commission Minutes
May 20, 2015
Page 10 of 13
PETITIONER: Eriksmoen Cottages and Brett Foss
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated a building permit has 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. 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.
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 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,
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 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 would 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.
Current 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 would ensure that it would blend in seamlessly with dwelling unit's exterior finish. That would
require the use the same materials that are currently on the building.
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.
Commissioner Alwin asked if there was sufficient side setback if the proposed garage to be
removed was turned into living quarters.
Mr. Lovelace answered that the front yard was not an issue and the side yard already meets the 10
foot setback requirement.
Chair Melander inquired if horseshoes style driveways in the neighborhood had been checked.
Mr. Lovelace answered no, he did not do that. The driveway across the street has the appearance of
a horseshoe driveway but that is not the case. That property had been considered a corner lot so it is
allowed to have a driveway off both sides of the street and there is a garage that comes off the back
side.
Chair Melander asked if the applicant could be allowed to have a horseshoe driveway and still close
off the other garage so they can access from both sides.

Mr. Lovelace answered that the code would not allow that. Then the variance request would be to
allow for a horseshoe driveway at that location.
Chair Melander commented even if they do not use it as a garage. He asked the applicant
representative if that would be any help to him.
Mr. Eriksmoen answered, it would be helpful.
Mr. Lovelace said typical setbacks from the front property line are 30 feet and that this house is set
back much further. They would have area for additional vehicles to park there. He stated there had
been some contradiction from the last meeting as to who was doing the discussion. Understanding
was that from the Eriksmoen Cottages representative that they really did not need the driveway nor
the second garage but that they would like to have it. It had been the property owner that was more
adamant believing that it would function better keeping both garages and both driveways as far as
the operation on this site for the daycare facility that Eriksmoen Cottages are proposing.
Commissioner Alwin commented he has a concern of setting precedence for multiple driveway
entrances in what is intended to be converted from a twin -home into a single- family home. He was
concerned it opens them up.
Commissioner Scanlan said from looking at the last meeting and again reviewing it tonight, this
comes down to an inconvenience concern that we are trying to address and not a true practical
difficulty. He struggled with the request at the last meeting and was hopeful they could come up
with a solution. He was still feeling the same at this meeting that it is an inconvenience with having
to move cars if one is in the way rather than to have the convenience of having extra parking space.
He commented the ordinance is what it is and should be maintained what it is supposed to be.
Chair Melander commented that rules are rules and that is what we are sworn to do.
Rod Eriksmoen, Eriksmoen Cottages, showed pictures of another facility in Burnsville they operate
out of set up similar as a twin home that was converted to a single- family home. He feels this could
put a hardship on the community around us that are there. He said if family comes over to visit they
will be parking on the street. He stated cars parked on the street could be an eye sore. He said for
their business they could make it work but it is just one more thing. He understands the City has
constraints but you like to have the homes in the area look like a neighborhood and function as
much as a neighborhood as you can.
MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann recommending
approval of a variance request for the retention of a second attached garage and
driveway as part of a conversion of a twin -home into a single- family dwelling. Ayes

Cafe /Seating Area for Celt's Craft House at the Grandstay Hotel, 7083 -153 Street W. (Lot
2, Block 2, Village at Founders Circle).
Project Summary /Issues
In 2008, the City Council approve a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an outdoor cafe and seating
area at the Grandstay Hotel, 7083 -153 Street W. The CUP required that the operations conform to
the following conditions:
• Follow the approved site plan date May 30, 2008, which showed a maximum of 26 seats;
• Install a 2.5 -foot wrought iron fence to delineate the outdoor seating area;
• Install a gate at the southwest side of the outdoor seating area, and construct a hard surface
pathway from the seating area to the sidewalk on 153 Street W.;
• The hours of operation shall be from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and
• No smoking shall be allowed in the outdoor seating area, and "No Smoking" signs shall be posted.
The CUP was in use by Panino Bros. restaurant until the end of June 2014. The City Code states that
if a CUP is not in use for more than a year, it lapses (Sect. 155.399). The Code allows for extension
of a CUP if a request is received at least 30 days before the original CUP expires. The owner of
Celt's Craft House has requested the extension, and anticipates they will be in operation by August 1,
2015. They have applied for the building permit, which is on hold until the Metropolitan Council
determines the SAC charges. The building permit will be issued when the SAC charges have been
determined, and the building permit fee is paid.
This item is considered a "housekeeping" issue.

(A) Purpose.
(1) In order to give the district use regulations of this chapter the flexibility necessary to
achieve the objectives of the comprehensive guide plan in certain districts, conditional uses are
permitted subject to the granting of a use permit. Conditional uses include those uses generally
not suitable in a particular zoning district, but which may, under some circumstances, be
suitable. When the circumstances exist, a conditional use permit may be granted.
(2) Conditions may be applied to issuance of a permit and a periodic review of the permit
may be required. The permit shall be issued for a particular use and not for a particular person or
firm. The applicant shall have the burden of proof that the use is suitable and that the standards
set forth in this section have been met.
(B) Petition, public hearing, notice and procedure. Except as otherwise noted and provided
under this section, the petition, public hearing, public notice and procedural requirements for
conditional use permits shall be the same as those for zoning chapter amendments provided in §
155.400.
(C) Action by the City Council. The City Council may grant a conditional use permit, as the
use permit was applied for or in modified form, 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 City Council may grant a conditional use permit
only by an affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of the City Council.
(D) Standards. The Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the
Council may issue conditional use permits if it finds that the use at the proposed location:
(1) Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the
neighborhood or the city.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY ZONING CODE EXCERPT
§ 155.399 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.
(2) Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the
comprehensive plan and code provisions.
(3) Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible or similar
in an architectural and landscape appearance with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area, nor substantially
diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
(4) Will be served adequately by existing (or those proposed in the project) essential public
facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, structures, refuse
disposal, water and sewer systems and schools.
(5) Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
operation that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare
because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
1
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY ZONING CODE EXCERPT
§ 155.399 CONDITIONAL USE PE ITS.
(6) Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic
congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets.
(7) Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature
of major importance.
(8) These standards apply in addition to specific conditions as may be applied throughout
the code.
(E) Conditions. In reviewing applications of conditional use permits, the Planning
Commission and the Council may attach whatever reasonable conditions they deem necessary to
mitigate anticipated adverse impacts associated with these uses, to protect the value of other
property within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the comprehensive
plan. In all cases in which conditional uses are granted, the Council shall require evidence and
guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection
therewith are being and will be complied with.
(F) Denial for noncompliance. If the Planning Commission recommends denial of a
conditional use permit or the Council orders the denial, it shall include in its recommendation or
determination findings as to the manner in which the proposed use does not comply with the
standards required by this section.
(G) Periodic review, term of permit. A periodic review of the use may be attached as a
condition of approval of a conditional use permit. Unless otherwise stipulated, the term shall be
the life of the use.
(H) Lapse of conditional use permit by non -use. Whenever within one year after granting a
conditional use permit, the use as allowed by the permit shall not have been completed or
utilized, then the permit shall become null and void unless a petition for an extension of time in
which to complete or utilize the use that has been granted by the City Council. The extension
shall be requested in writing and filed with the Zoning Administrator at least 30 days before the
expiration of the original conditional use permit. There shall be no charge for the filing of the
petition. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or
utilize the use permitted in the conditional use permit. The petition shall be presented to the
Planning Commission for a recommendation and to the City Council for decision.
(I) Enforcement and revocation. Failure to comply with any condition set forth in a
conditional use permit, or any other violation of this section, shall constitute sufficient cause for
termination of the conditional use permit by the City Council following a public
hearing. Written notification of the public hearing shall be mailed at least ten days prior to the
hearing to the current holder of the conditional use permit. The notice should outline the
violation(s) considered by the city to be grounds for revocation and inform the current holder of
the conditional use permit of the opportunity to be heard at the public hearing. In addition to
other remedies provided in this code or at law, failure to comply with any condition set forth in a
conditional use permit, or any other violation of this section, shall be a misdemeanor.

Project Summary /Issues
Public Hearing: A public hearing for this item was held May 6, 2015. A comment was received
from a representative of the owner of the Community Cares site, who asked that the non - profit be
allowed to operate on the site as it currently does. Staff replied that the organization currently does
not comply with the zoning code. Provided the non - profit complies with the regulations of the "BP"
zone, it can continue to operate. No other comments were received from the public.
Background: 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 150 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.

PROJECT REVIEW
Comprehensive Plan: The site is guided "IND" (Industrial) in the Comprehensive Plan, which allows for
offices, assembly, warehouse, manufacturing and other similar uses within an enclosed building to limit the
amount of dust, noise, odor, and other adverse impacts. Zoning districts allowed in areas guided in the
Comprehensive Plan for industrial uses consist of "I -1" (Limited Industrial), "I -2" (General Industrial), and
"BP" (Business Park).
There is no Comprehensive Plan category for agricultural uses. The City determined in previous
Comprehensive Plans that Apple Valley is a developing suburban community, and agricultural land will be
3
H: \DEVELOPM\2015 Projects\AG Rezoning Consistency \060315 PC memo2.docx
phased out as the land is redeveloped. The Agricultural designation had been removed when the 2020
Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1999. When the 1979 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, there were
1,674 acres used for agricultural purposes. When the 2020 Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1999, there
were approximately 397 acres used for agricultural purposes. The 2030 Comprehensive plan, adopted in
2010, did not list any property as being used for agricultural purposes and did not discuss agricultural uses,
though currently there are approximately 60 acres zoned agricultural.
The subject properties are not used for agricultural purposes. The property owned by the Apple Valley
EDA is vacant, and is an outlot of Valley Business Park, which was developed in the late 1990s. The
Community Cares property is an old farmstead that had been used as a single family home, but evidence
indicates the house has been unoccupied for at least two years. The property, which has three accessory
buildings, is being used by the owner for the warehousing and distribution of bulk food. According to its
website, Community Cares is a non - profit food bank that picks up and delivers food to more than 25 food
shelves and churches in the seven - county Metropolitan area, as well as some locations outside of this area
(www.counitycares.org).
The City Attorney has advised that Minnesota statutes (Minn Stat 473.865, Subd. 3) require the zoning and
Comprehensive Plan designation of a property be consistent. Because the Comprehensive Plan designates
the subject parcels for industrial uses (and these properties are not currently used for agricultural or
residential purposes), the zoning must be changed.
Zoning: The subject parcels are zoned "A" (Agricultural). Currently, there are 22 parcels in the City that
are zoned agricultural including the two subject properties.
In 2010, the City undertook the rezoning of 11 sites so that they would be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan designation. Agricultural properties were not rezoned at that time, with a few
exceptions. It is staffs intention to rezone these properties before the next update of the Comprehensive
Plan begins so that they are consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan.
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.
The Business Park zoning allows for the following uses: Corporate offices, labs, research facilities, office
with attached manufacturing, warehouse sales and showrooms (no retail food sales), storage facilities
when contained inside a building, contractor's offices, and similar. Community Cares uses the site for
bulk warehouse and storage operations. These uses are consistent with the "BP" zoning district.
Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held May 6, 2015. A comment was received from
a representative of the owner of the Community Cares site, who asked that the non - profit be allowed to
operate on the site as it currently does. Staff replied that the organization currently does not comply with
the zoning code. Provided the non - profit complies with the regulations of the "BP" zone, it can continue
to operate. No other comments were received from the public.

Project Summary /Issues
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, will be
required. This new planned development zone would be part of the Cobblestone Lake development.
Approval of this new subzone will 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 becomes 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, that this street carries and loss of lanes east of Eagle Bay Drive, a right turn lane
shall be installed at the intersection Dodd Boulevard and Street B.
In addition, the most southerly driveway shall be removed and replaced with non - surmountable curb.
Staff recommended that a sidewalk connection be made along the south side of the northerly
intersection to the Dodd Boulevard pathway and the pathway located in the Apple Valley East Park.
The revised plans show the connection to the pathway in the park but not the connection to Dodd
Boulevard. They have indicated that the grades will not allow that connection to be made, which the
City has verified.
Staff recommended that a masonry treatment be added to help add more variety to the exterior.
Staff asked the petitioner to 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. They have submitted a letter, which provides a detailed description of

PROJECT REVIEW

Background Information: In 2005, Tradition Development submitted a townhouse development proposal
on the subject property for consideration by the City. The request included a Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map amendment from the current designation "P" (Park) to a "MD" (Medium Density Residential /6 -12
units per acre) designation, a rezoning from "A" (Agricultural) to "PD- 703 /zone 9" (Planned Development),
preliminary plat that would create seven (7) lots and one outlot, and site plan/building permit authorization
to allow for the construction of thirty (30) townhouse dwelling units.
The Planning Commission reviewed the 2005 proposal and recommended approval and the City Council
approved the submittal of the Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council, preliminary
plat and site plan/building permit authorization requests. Approval by the City Council of the rezoning
was withheld until the approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment by the Metropolitan Council.
The petitioner withdrew their application and no final approvals were granted.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map currently designates this
proposed development site "P" (park), which was intended for park and open space purposes. In 2001, this
property's designation was changed from "NS" (Neighborhood Service) to "P" (park) with the intention that
this parcel would be combined with the Apple Valley East Park, an 11.6 -acre public park located to the east.
As stated previously, 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.
This current townhouse development proposal would be consistent with the previously requested
Comprehensive Plan amendment. Approval of this development project would include the completion of
the re- designation of the property as proposed in 2005.
The overall net density of this project, which excludes public street right -of -way, will be 12 units per acre.
This is the maximum density allowed within the "MD" designation.
Rezoning: The applicant is requesting a rezoning of 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. This new planned development zone would be part of the Cobblestone Lake development.
Approval of this new subzone will require the preparation of ordinance amendments that identify the
proposed use as well as the area requirements and performance standards for the future subzone.
Again in 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the rezoning to "PD 703 /zone 9 ",
which was conditioned upon approval of the Comp Plan re- designation.
Preliminary Plat: The site is currently an unplatted parcel. The petitioner is proposing to plat the 3.7 -acre
parcel into 38 lots. Thirty -seven lots, which will vary in size from 1,342 sq. ft. to 1,525 sq. ft., will be used
for the construction of one 4 -unit, three 5 -unit, and three 6 -unit townhouse buildings. The remaining lot
(Lot 38) will be used for a variety of purposes that include common open space, guest parking spaces, and a
private street /drive.
The 38 lots will encompass 3.04 acres of the parcel and the remaining property will be dedicated for public
right -of -way purposes. Approximately .61 acres of the site will be dedicated as right -of -way for Dodd
Boulevard and .05 acres will be dedicated as right -of -way for Eagle Bay Drive.
5
The final plat should show a blanket drainage and utility easement over and across Lot 38. In addition,
access restriction easements should be established that restrict direct driveway access off Dodd Boulevard
and Eagle Bay Drive.
Site Plan: The site plan indicates the construction of one 4 -unit, four 5 -unit, and one 6 -unit townhouse
buildings on approximately 3.04 acres.
The original plans identified two private street connections to Dodd Boulevard that would provide access to
the site. The most northerly intersection was full intersection, with the south intersection being a right turn
inlout only. The revised plans have eliminated the south intersection.
Access to the individual dwelling units will be via private streets. Street A will be 24 feet wide and is
designed to function as emergency vehicle turnaround. It will need to be prominently signed "No Parking
Emergency Vehicle Turnaround Only" and striped to the satisfaction of the Apple Valley Fire Marshal.
Street B will be 24 feet wide and Street C will be 24 feet wide east of Street A and will taper down to a
width of 20 feet west of Street A.
City code requires a minimum of one and one -half parking spaces, and two garage spaces per townhouse
dwelling unit. Each dwelling unit will have a two -car garage and a driveway that should be able to
accommodate parking of two vehicles. Twenty guest parking spaces are proposed for the development,
which exceeds the minimum required rate of 1 /2 -space per unit. The site plan indicates that these spaces will
be 9 feet wide and 18.5 feet long.
Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: The site is bordered by Dodd Boulevard to the north and
Eagle Bay Drive to the west. Dodd Boulevard is classified as a collector street with a design capacity of up
to 15,000 vehicle trips per day. Eagle Bay Drive is a local street with a design capacity of up to 6,000
vehicle trips per day. No vehicle access from this development onto Eagle Bay is proposed. Vehicle access
from this residential project to a public street will be via two private street intersections along the east side
of Dodd Boulevard.
This proposed project would generate approximately 217 vehicle trips per day. The public street system
adjacent to this site should be able to accommodate the number of trips that will be generated by this
proposed project.
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 recommended that right turn lanes be
installed at the two entrances into the development. In discussions that occurred after the public hearing, the
City and developer agreed to remove the south access drive and that a right -turn lane be installed at the full
intersection of Dodd Boulevard and Street B.
Private streets and drives will provide vehicular access to dwelling units and circulation within the
development. All the private streets /drives have been designed to provide adequate flow of vehicular traffic
throughout the project area.
Pedestrian Access: The applicant is proposing a network of internal sidewalks with two connections to
pathway adjacent to Dodd Boulevard. Staff recommended that an additional sidewalk connection to the
Dodd Boulevard pathway be made along the south side of the northerly intersection of Dodd Boulevard and
Street B. The grades at that location will not allow a sidewalk connection to be made.
6
Staff also recommended that a sidewalk/pathway connection be made to the pathway located in the Apple
Valley East Park, which the applicant has done.
Finally, the proposed grades also make it prohibitive to allow for a pedestrian connection from the site to the
pathway along the east side of Eagle Bay Drive.
Grading Plan: The City Engineer has reviewed grading plan and his comments are included in the
attached memo.
Elevation Drawings: The proposed primary exterior finish will be lap siding with board and batten
siding at the gable ends of the roof. The siding material shall be required to meet the building material
requirements set forth in "PD- 703 ".
The front elevation will have a small cover stoop. Roof gables will also help break up the front elevation.
The rear elevations will incorporate decks and bay windows to help break up its massing. A roof
treatment and decorative columns will be used at the entrances of each dwelling unit.
Staff initially recommended that the petitioner 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 and that a masonry treatment be added to help add more variety to the exterior.
The petitioner has submitted a letter, which is attached, that provides a detailed breakdown of their
proposed building design. Based upon the information provided in the letter, staff is recommending
approval of the elevations as presented.
Landscape Plan: The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the preliminary landscape plans and
she has no outstanding issues. Staff recommended that additional landscaping be installed between the
buildings and the area between the buildings and the guest parking spaces, which the applicant has done.
Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing for this development request was held at the May 6, 2015,
Planning Commission meeting. The hearing was opened, comments were taken, and the hearing closed.
The following is a synopsis of the comments received during the public hearing along with staff's response
or the applicant's response.
A concern was expressed about the development's density. Staff Response — The development will have
a density of 12 units per acre, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan "Medium Density
Residential " designation. The proposed density is also consistent with property to the south, whose zoning
classification allows up to 13 units per acre.
A comment was received stating that the property was to be used for single - family homes. Staff
Response — In 2005, the City approved development plans fora 30 -unit townhome project. This project is
consistent with previously approved project. The property owner has never submitted a request fora single-
family development on the subject property.
A concern was raised that the property will be graded down to the level of the property directly to the
south. Staff Response — Minimal alterations to the existing grades will be required to prepare the site for
development. The proposed grades will tie into the existing grades along the existing slope to the south.
The petitioner has submitted a cross-section of the south property line that shows the grade change between
the subject property and the property to the south.

Re: Cobblestone Lake 7th Addition - Architecture
Dear Mr. Lovelace:
We were under the impression that architectural approvals were to be provided only by Tradition Development.
As a result, we did not provide the City with adequate details regarding the architecture of our rowhome product
proposed in Cobblestone Lakes 7th Addition. We apologize for this omission. Please accept this letter as an
amendment to the South Shore Development/Tradition Development submittal.
Background
For a variety of reasons, very few townhomes have been built since the real estate crash began in 2007. Pulte
and other builders are now beginning to carefully venture back into the townhome market. Given the long time
span since rowhomes in particular have been built, the market environment has changed significantly, including
the tastes and needs of the buying public. In response, Pulte has completed in -depth consumer surveys and
designed what could be considered "version 2.0" for rowhomes.
"Version 1.0" Rowhome Architecture
One of the primary drivers of sales for rowhomes is that it expands the range of consumers who can afford home
ownership. In "version 1.0 ", this was typically accomplished by having many exterior units being identical in
appearance. A common theme was that some or most of the units within a building would have the same exterior
elevation. Another common theme was to have the same color scheme or two alternating color schemes for all
individual units.
"Version 2.0" R Architecture
With Pulte's version 2.0, our goal is to maintain affordability, but to improve on the, historical rowhome
architectural themes. Our overall approach is to "individualize and stylize" each unit. The result is individual units
which differ in architecture from all other units within the same building and which vary in color scheme from
almost every other unit within our community. This is a significant advancement in the approach to rowhome
architecture. Our new rowhome incorporates the following individualizing features:
a. Significant number of and varying orientation of windows providing interest to the exterior and
transparency and daylighting on the interior
b. Windows and building corners are wrapped with trim
c. Different types of gables
d. Pediments and brackets within the gables to add interest
e. Window shutters
f. Porches
®2015 Pulte Homes of Minnesota LLC. All rights reserved. BL #BC627273
The end result is that each unit will appear unique and distinct within each building and to a substantial
degree within the new community. Below is a rendering of a typical building. Keep in mind that the colors
chosen for the Cobblestone Lake community will be bolder and more vibrant in order to better meet the
intent of the architectural vision for the community.
1Pute
• Page 2
g. Roof pitch (8:12) to accommodate optional bedroom, loft, and /or rooftop terrace options
h. Horizontal banding boards between floors to add variety and differentiation
i. Articulation of each unit; each unit is offset in depth from the adjacent units by two feet; this
creates shadows which visually "break up" the front of the building
j. Varied color scheme for each unit and for most units within our community (for example, a
separate community with this product was recently designed to have 25 out of 36 units with
different color schemes; we anticipate similar individualization in this community)
k. The option of a rooftop terrace will positively impact the rear elevations of some units

Your staff report for this submittal includes the following comment: "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."
We appreciate your comment about stone /brick and understand the historical basis for it. Pulte's company
vision is "Building Consumer Inspired Homes and Communities to Make Lives Better ". In order for
our firm to stay on the cutting edge of what consumers want, we constantly obtain feedback from the public
and from our buyers. Although our research is proprietary, we have learned one interesting and relevant
fact that we wish to share with you. Consumers do not directly associate "nice" communities with the use of
stone and /or brick. It was no surprise for us to find that consumers appreciate a variety of attributes related
to location, amenities, site plan, landscaping and architecture. What was initially a surprise to us is that
there is not a direct correlation between the use of stone and brick in the architecture of a building and the
perception that the community is "nice ". As we update our various housing products, we have been
adapting our architecture accordingly in order to provide consumers with what they value most.
Regardless of the above findings, you'll note that our rowhome architecture includes the use of stone on
column bases on the front elevations. This compares favorably to the rowhome units that are immediately
to the south of this new community. In addition, we will add a stone component to the bottom of the first
floor windows, similar to the rowhomes immediately to the south of this new community.
We had previously submitted very little description of our rowhome architecture. We trust that this detailed
description of our architecture and the addition of a stone component will provide you with the information
necessary to approve our product.
New Approach to Rowhome Floor Plans
We realize that the City is primarily interested in exterior architecture. However, it is worth noting that our
approach to "individualized and stylized" rowhome units extends to the interior as well. Buyers are also
able to choose from a range of options that are not typically seen in version 1.0 floor plans:
I. 3 bedrooms with options for a 4th and even a 5th bedroom
m 2 car garage with an option for a 3rd
n. Two owner suites
o. Loft
p. Rooftop terrace
q 1St floor flex room and additional bathroom
We believe that floor plan versatility and individualization at the scale offered with this design is unmatched
in the Twin Cities market and will likely lead to serving a broader demographic market. We're very excited
to have the City of Apple Valley serve as one of the initial locations to launch this new product.
Sincerely,
Paul Heuer, Director of Land Planning & Entitlement
