Cobblestone Lake North Shore 2nd Addition — Public hearing to consider Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment, rezoning, and subdivision to allow for 47-single-family lots on 11.57 acres. (PC15-35-PZS) LOCATION: Southeast corner of 155th Street West and Embry Path PETITIONER: South Shore Development, Inc. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes November 4, 2015 Page 2 of 7 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. City Planner Tom Lovelace commented the applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment re- designating a 11.57 parcel from "MD" (Medium Density Residential /6 -12 units per acre) to "LD" (Low Density Residential /2 -6 units per acre), rezoning "PD- 703 /zone 8" (Planned Development) to "PD -703 /zone 2A" (Planned Development) and subdivision of an existing outlot 47 single- family residential lots and one outlot. The property is located at the southeast corner of 155th Street West and Embry Path. The subject property is currently guided "MD" (Medium Density Residential/ 6 -12 units per acre). "MD" land uses include townhomes, other attached single- family dwellings, and low -rise apartments and condominiums at densities that range between six to twelve units per acre. This designation fits with the "M -4 ", "M -5", "M -6" (Multi- Family) and "PD" (Planned Development) zoning districts. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map that would re- designate Outlot B, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION to "LD" (Low Density Residential /2 -6 units per acre), with the proposed single- family development having an overall density of 4.1 units per acre. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan describes Low Density Residential as areas intended to create, preserve, and maintain the places to live that define the primary character and identity of Apple Valley. A variety of housing types may be built in the "LD" areas including single- family detached dwellings, duplexes, twin homes, townhomes, and other types of low density attached housing that range between three to six units per acre. The proposal will add 47 market -rate single - family dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock, which is consistent with the Livable Communities Act of providing addition life -cycle dwelling units in the city. Outlot H is currently zoned "PD -703 /zone 8" (Planned Development), which allows for sand and gravel mining as a permitted use. Zone 8 was established as a temporary zone within this planned development in 2001 in order to allow the existing property owners the ability to continue mining certain areas of the development site until the mining material was exhausted or development happened. It was expected that when one of these events occurred, the property would be rezoned consistent with the development proposal. The preliminary plat indicates the subdivision of Outlot B, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION into 47 single- family lots and one outlot. Outlot A will be open space that will be privately maintained. The plat is bounded by public streets to the north, south and the east, and an outlot to the west. Direct access from the lots within the proposed subdivision to the abutting streets shall be prohibited, by means of access restriction easements that will be part of final plat approval. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes November 4, 2015 Page 3 of 7 Jacob Fick, South Shore Development, provided additional information. Commissioner Scanlan inquired if there was a tightness of the grading on the back lots. Mr. Fick answered there would be a three to one grading similar to a berm and the lots would be sodded and irrigated. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. B. Menard's Redevelopment of Hanson Property — Public hearing to consider Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and text amendments and rezoning to allow for 16.5 acres of commercial, 8.75 acres of industrial, and 14.1 acres of medical office development. (PC15- 36-PZ) LOCATION: Northwest corner of CSAH 42 and Johnny Cake Ridge Road PETITIONER: Menard, Inc. Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. City Planner Tom Lovelace stated Menard, Inc. is requesting amendments to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and rezoning of 40 net acres of property, located in the northwest corner of 150th Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The property is currently guided and zoned for industrial uses. The applicant is requesting that the south 14.9 acres be re-designated for commercial/retail uses and the remaining property for uses consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Business Campus (MBC) designation. This would require a text amendment that would include select areas north of CSAH 42, adjacent to the South Central Planning Area in the "MBC" designation. The applicant is also requesting that the property be rezoned from "I-2" (General Industrial) to "PD" (Planned Development) to allow for a mix of commercial/retail, medical office and limited industrial uses. The subject property is currently guided "IND" (Industrial) on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The applicant is requesting a re-designation of the south 16.5 acres of the site to "C" (Commercial) and the remaining property "MBC" (Mixed Business Campus). Industrial designated areas allows offices, assembly, warehouse, manufacturing and other similar activities within an enclosed building to limit the amount of dust, noise, odor and other adverse impacts. The proposed commercially designated property would be developed for retail uses, including a 236,000-sq. ft. Menard's store. The applicant is requesting that the majority of the property be re-designated "MBC" (Mixed Business Campus). The Comprehensive Plan described "MBC" as areas that are intended to be high quality settings for office campus, office with light industrial, office with biomedical manufacturing, health care facilities, health care training, general office, corporate office, and other higher intensity employment uses. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes November 4, 2015 Page 4 of 7 Mixed retail and commercial service uses that serve the campus and adjacent neighborhoods will be limited in area and to activities that support the employment objectives of the Business Campus. Some examples of supporting uses include, lodging, restaurants, daycare, banking and other retail uses that may support the campus and adjacent neighborhoods. Mr. Lovelace reviewed street classification, accesses, circulation, pedestrian access and phasing plan. Chair Melander asked for an analysis of Apple Valley's land area and the percentage of industrial versus neighboring communities. Commissioner Scanlan asked if there were any current numbers regarding vacancy on medical office and what is the current vacancy for this type of product out there. What would be the demand for making this change from industrial to mixed use. Mr. Lovelace answered medical office is allowed in a wide variety of zoning districts from limited business to retail operations. There is opportunity to do some in the general business and in business park developments. The market analysis could be a little broader by taking a look at the industrial, rezoning to other uses and the impact it could have on Apple Valley. Tom O'Neil, Menards, Inc., provided additional information Brad Scheib, HKGi Group, commented that their group worked with the City of Apple Valley on the Comprehensive Plan in 2008 that was adopted in 2009. He talked about vision and guiding principles. He reviewed the keys from the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Diekmann referred to the principles and keys in the Comprehensive Plan and the generation of head of household jobs. He asked Mr. Scheib how many head of household jobs the Menards site would create. Mr. Scheib answered he did not really know but would research that for the next meeting. Commissioner Diekmann commented that one of the keys that had been talked about in the City's Comprehensive Plan was the preservation of the industrial land and he commented to Mr. Scheib that he did not highlight that part, for obvious reasons, and asked why it was not mentioned. Mr. Scheib answered that was correct, that he did not mention it, and said that there are going to be trade -offs. Commissioner Diekmann said that Mr. Scheib worked on the Comprehensive Plan and that preservation of the industrial land was one of the keys. He said he understands there are going to be trade -offs because there is only so much land and that it is only zoned in such a way. He said he struggles to understand. He commented that Mr. Scheib made a pretty good argument for why they should do it and there is a pretty good argument for why they should not do it. He said he believes CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes November 4, 2015 Page 5 of 7 head of household jobs and industrial land go hand in hand. He said those were two guiding principles that were left off the items that Mr. Scheib just presented. Mr. Scheib commented he recognizes what Commissioner Diekmann is saying and he understands that it is the job of the Commission to look at both sides. Mike Erdmann, 5936 — 144th Street W., expressed concern for the amount of additional traffic, head of household jobs, reducing the amount of industrial land and the need for job creation. He was concerned for the downtown site with vacant buildings that are eye sores. Commissioner Scanlan commented that, since he has been on the Planning Commission, the theme has always been with the industrial head of household jobs. There has been some really good activity in the past year with Uponor expanding and Karamella coming in. He believes there is a need for industrial space. The City has had an on -going relationship with Menards. He would like a solution that works for both the City and Menards. Dan Hughes, Uponor North America, commented that Uponor just completed their expansion he expressed concern for traffic on Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 8:06 p.m. 6. LAND USE /ACTION ITEMS A.

Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on PROJECT NAME: Apple Valley Senior - Dominium PROJECT DESCRIPTION Apple Valley Leased Housing IV, LLC, requests consideration of the following actions: 1. Rezoning from "M -8C" (Multiple family, 12 to 24 units /acre) to "PD" (Planned Development) 2. Subdivision by preliminary plat of Hudson Division to combine four existing parcels into a single parcel 3. Site Plan Review /Building Permit Authorization to construct a 163 -unit senior apartment building on the southwest corner of Cedar Avenue and 140 Street West. STAFF CONTACT: Kathy Bodmer, Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Dominium PROJECT NUMBER: N/A APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: N/A city of Apple Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5A_ December 2, 2015 Public Hearing Proposed Action • Open the 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 Zoning: The property is currently zoned M -8C which allows multiple family residential with a density of 12 to 24 units /acre. An apartment building for seniors is a permitted use in the zoning district. The petitioner is requesting a rezoning of the property to "PD" (Planned Development) to allow fewer parking stalls and relief from the setback requirements along Cedar Avenue and 140 Street. A rezoning to PD will require the applicant to provide a written statement of how a rezoning of this property to a PD designation will benefit the public interest. In an M -8 zoning district, a conditional use permit may be obtained to increase the allowable density up to 40 units per acre in a five story apartment building provided certain amenities are included in the development that qualify for density bonuses. Density bonus items are features added to the project to offset impacts from higher density development including private outdoor space, sound suppression, fire places and additional bathrooms. Senior developments have unique needs, so the amenities will likely be different from a typical apartment development. Staff is waiting for information concerning the development's amenities. Site Challenges: The parcel is difficult to develop due to its topography and proximity to Cedar Avenue and 140th Street. The site has a significant hill next to Granite Avenue on the west side of the site. Approximately 30' of grade change occurs from the southeast corner of the site to the peak of the hill adjacent to Granite Avenue. Cedar Avenue is classified as a Principal Arterial road and 140 Street is classified as a Major Collector. Currently, the traffic volume on Cedar Avenue is 43,500 trips per day which is expected to increase to 66,000 by 2030 (source: Dakota County). Similarly, the volume on 140th Street currently is 9,800 trips per day which is expected to increase to 12,400 by 2030 (source: Apple Valley 2030 Comp Plan). Access to the site is only available from Granite Avenue on the west side of the property. The site has several significant trees, but they are primarily volunteer elm and boxelder. A tree inventory is needed to confirm no significant trees exist on the site. Site Plan: The site plan shows the 4-story senior apartment building with underground parking located parallel to Cedar Avenue. The building will have 163 units which will result in a density of 45.5 units/acre. The sketch indicates that 143 garage parking stalls and 50 surface parking stalls would be provided which is a ratio of 1.184 parking stalls per unit. In a market rate apartment development, parking is required at 1 garage stall and 1.5 surface stalls per unit (2.5 spaces/unit). Variances were granted to other recent senior developments based upon the unique needs of seniors. The Timbers provides 1.109 spaces/unit, Summerhill provides 1.84 spaces/unit, and Orchard Square/Cortland Square provides 1.13 spaces/unit. Two access drives are shown to the site from Granite Avenue. Although the northern driveway does not perfectly align with the Summerhill driveway to the west, the City Engineer states that it is not a significant issue because of the low traffic volume. No additional access drives will be permitted to the site from Cedar Avenue or 140th Street. Exterior Elevation Perspective: A perspective drawing is provided that shows the exterior of the building. A variety of materials and varying roofline helps to provide visual interest and breaks up the massing of the building. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1. Engineering Memo 2. Fire Marshal Memo 3.

HD — High Density Residential, 12+ units/acre 8C — Multiple family, 12-24 units/acre Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the property for "HD" (High Density Residential, 12+ units/acre) development. The proposed 163 -unit senior apartment development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Livable Communities impact. One of the City's housing goals is to ensure that a variety of housing types are available to provide a variety of life-cycle housing in the community. The proposed senior apartment development will provide affordable senior housing which is needed in the City. Zoning. The property is currently zoned "M-8C" (Multiple family residential, 12-24 units/acre). The petitioners request a rezoning of the property to "PD" (Planned Development) to provide flexibility from setbacks from Cedar Avenue and 140 Street, the number of parking spaces required, and to allow for increased density. Preliminary Plat. The preliminary plat of Hudson Division combines four existing lots into a single buildable lot. The plat is adjacent to Cedar Avenue, so it is subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat ordinance. The Dakota County Plat Commission noted that all required right- of-way has been dedicated, but a restricted access easement will be needed. In addition, Dakota County requests a trail connection from the east side of the building to the Cedar Avenue pathway. The City Engineer states that a drainage and utility easement will be needed over the retention area on the northwest corner of the site. Site Plan. The 163-unit senior apartment building is shown running roughly parallel to Cedar Avenue in a north-south alignment. The building will be four stories tall with an underground garage. Two access drives are shown off of Granite Avenue on the west side of the site. The main entrance to the building will be located on the west side of the building and an outdoor patio/gathering area is shown on the east side of the site. Grading/Drainage Plan. The entire site will be graded for this project. Extensive retaining walls are needed. The retaining walls along the south property line are 11' tall. Elevation Drawings. The elevation drawings confirm that the building is five stories tall with a total height of 52'. The exterior building materials include face brick and cementitious fiberboard lap siding. Availability of Municipal Utilities. Utilities are available at the site. See City Engineer's Comments. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation. Cedar Avenue (Principal Arterial Street) — The 1/2 right-of-way for Cedar Avenue is 100' which is currently dedicated. No direct access to Cedar Avenue from the site is proposed. 140 Street West (A-Minor Arterial Street) — The 1 /2 right-of-way for 140 Street is 50' which is correctly shown on the plan. No direct access to 140 Street from the site is proposed. Granite Avenue (Local access Street) — The right-of-way for Granite Avenue was dedicated with the Summerhill of Apple Valley plat. No additional right-of-way is needed. Two access drives are shown. The northern drive does not directly align with the Summerhill driveway to the west. The City Engineer is reviewing traffic generation information to ensure the low traffic volumes will allow for the proposed offset. Pedestrian Access.

MISSION To be a relational and educational presence in our community and immediately address crime and quality of life issues at their root. November 17, 2015 City of Apple Valley 7100 147 Street W. Apple Valley, MN 55124 Re: HUDSON DIVISION C O U N T Y Dakota County Surveyor's Office Western Service Center • 14955 Galaxie Avenue • Apple Valley, MN 55124 952.891 -7087 • Fax 952.891 -7127 • www.co.dakota.mn.us The Dakota County Plat Commission met on November 16, 2015, to consider the preliminary plat of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 23, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The right of way for a six -lane roadway is 100 feet of half right of way, which is shown on the plat. Restricted access should be shown along all of CSAH 23. A quit claim deed to Dakota County for restricted access is required at the time of recording the plat mylars. It was recommended to provide a connection (walkway) from the east side of the building to the existing trail along CSAH 23 for better access to the trails and transit stations. The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary and final plat, provided that the described conditions are met, and will recommend approval to the County Board of Commissioners when the plat is submitted in signed mylar form. Mylars should be submitted to the County Board within one year of the Plat Commission's final approval. Traffic volumes on CSAH 23 are 43,500 ADT and are anticipated to be 66,000 ADT by the year 2030. These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints. In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this development. No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County Recorder's Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design of proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. Nothing herein is intended to restrict or limit Dakota County's rights with regards to Dakota County rights of way or property. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, medians, etc. Please contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.

STAFF CONTACT: Kathy Bodmer, Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Java Capital Partners — 7668 150 St LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC 15 -40 -CB APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: November 4, 2015 January 2, 2016 March 2, 2015 City of Apple VaIIey Proposed Action • Open public hearing, receive comments, close 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 The project involves the redevelopment of an underused office building on the southeast corner of CSAH 42 and Pennock Avenue. The office building would be removed and a 4,800 sq. ft. two-. tenant retail building would be constructed for a Class I Casual restaurant and Class III Neighborhood restaurant with drive -thru window. A variance is requested to reduce the parking lot setback from 15' to 10'. A 21" public sanitary sewer line is located on the west side of the property. A drainage and utility easement will be needed over the line. The number of required off - street parking spaces is calculated based on the number of seats inside and outside a restaurant. The number of seats has not yet been provided, so parking requirements have not yet been calculated. The site is expected to obtain utilities from shared private utilities available at the site. The City will need copies of agreements that allow for the private connections. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1. City Engineer Memo 2. Fire Marshal Memo 3. Location Map 4. Oblique Aerial Photo 5.

A Class III Neighborhood Restaurant and a Class I Casual Restaurant are both consistent with the comp plan designation. The Plan states the following related to redevelopment: The City recognizes that market forces, suitability of buildings and sites, and other factors will continue to create opportunities for redevelopment. The City will work with property owners to facilitate redevelopment that enhances the community and helps to achieve the objectives of this Plan. The property is currently underused and in decline. Redevelopment of the site will provide an increased level of activity and an updated building that is more consistent with the City's character. Zoning: The property is zoned "RB" (Retail Business). A Class I and Class III Restaurant are both permitted uses in the zoning district. A Class I Casual Restaurant is a fast - casual restaurant where food is prepared after it is ordered, some busing of tables is done by waitstaff, and reusable dinnerware is used. A Class III restaurant is a neighborhood oriented restaurant like a coffee shop, donut shop or bagel shop. A drive -thru window in connection with a Class III Restaurant requires a conditional use permit (CUP) and must meet the CUP requirements. Preliminary Plat: The property is currently platted. No change to the plat is requested. Site Plan: The site plan shows that access to the site will be taken from the shared internal driveway for the Apple Valley Square Shopping Center. The site access is located on the southeast corner. A drive -thru lane is shown along the west side of the building. Stacking for seven vehicles is shown. Based on staff's recent study of drive- thrus, during peak hours up to 13 vehicles could be expected in the drive -thru lane. The site is configured so that six additional vehicles would easily fit on the site without impacting Firestone or the Apple Valley Square Shopping Center. There may be instances of conflict between backing vehicles and vehicles in the drive -thru lane. However, these delays should be momentary and will only impact the two businesses in the Pennock Center building. A variance is requested to reduce the parking lot setback from CSAH 42 from 15' to 10'. Parking requirements are based on the number of seats inside and outside the restaurant. The City will need the number of seats in order to calculate the required number of off - street parking spaces. Grading Plan: The site is relatively flat. Specific grading and drainage issues have been identified by the City Engineer as outlined in his November 20, 2015, memo. Approval of the project would be subject to compliance with the City Engineer's memo. Elevation Drawings: The elevation drawings indicate that the building exterior materials will be veneer brick and stone, EIFS and windows. The zoning code requires that all four sides of a building must be constructed with equally attractive design and materials. The amount of stone and brick is higher on the north side of the building than on the other sides of the building. The owners will be asked to review and modify the exterior design to ensure four -sided architecture. Landscape Plan: Landscape materials must be installed with a minimum value of 2 -1/2% of the value of construction of the building. The current landscape plan shows no plantings along the north property line. Additional landscaping is needed along the north property line to soften the appearance of the parking lot from CSAH 42. The landscape plan should be revised to show the preservation of three large trees on the west side of the site. See City Engineer's memo related to specific requirements for the stormwater retention area. A maintenance agreement will be needed for the long term maintenance of the retention area. Municipal Utilities: Utilities are currently located on the site. A large 21" sewer main runs north and south along the west side of the property. Because it's a public sewer line, an easement will need to be dedicated over the line. A shared concrete valley gutter is shown between the Pennock Center and Firestone parcels. An agreement will need to be provided indicating permission to construct the gutter on private property. Approval of the project would be subject to compliance with the City Engineer's memo. Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: The site abuts 150 Street W. /CSAH 42 (Principal Arterial) and Pennock Avenue (Collector) but does not have direct access to either street. Instead, all access to the parcel will be taken from an internal shared driveway. A cross - access easement is in place for the shared drive area. Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian access is shown from the Pennock Avenue ring route sidewalks on the west side of the site. No pedestrian connection is shown to County Road 42 which is needed. Public Safety Issues: See Fire Marshal's memo concerning specific Fire Code items. Approval of the project would be subject to the Fire Marshal's memo. Recreation Issues: None identified. 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. The plans show that two menu boards are proposed; only one menu board is permitted per drive -thru lane. All signage must comply with the requirements of the sign code. Public Hearing Comments: To be taken.

They are requesting that they be allowed to park vehicles and trailers overnight. All the vehicles and trailers will have current registration and be in operational condition, and will be used in the normal course of business. They would also like to have the ability to place a dumpster or compactors in the loading berths. They have indicated that these will be low profile containers that resemble flatbed trailers. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: AVBC, LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC 15 -42 -C APPLICATION DATE: October 29, 2015 60 DAYS: December 27, 2015 120 DAYS: February 25, 2016 city of Apple Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5C December 2, 2015 Public Hearing Proposed Action Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing. Project Summary /Issues AVBC, LLC is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) for outdoor storage of commercial vehicles on a platted parcel located at 14607 Felton Court. The property is zoned "I -2" (General Industrial), which is a zoning district that allows for open storage as a conditional use. The applicant would like to store vehicles and trailers on an approximately one -acre paved area behind of the building. The applicant has stated that long -term storage of vehicles and trailers (vehicles not used for 90 days) or more and personal vehicles such as RV's, snowmobile or ATV trailers will not be allowed. Storage of damaged, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles and trailers should not be allowed to be stored. In addition, storage of semi - trailers outside of the loading docks should be not be allowed. There are 75 parking spaces shown on the site in the front of the building, which is sufficient parking for an industrial building of this size. Parking in the rear of the building for employees or customers is not needed to meet City code requirements. City Code requires that all exterior storage shall be screened. The type of screening required includes a solid fence or wall, landscaping, or earth berm. If landscaping is used, it should provide a year -round solid screen. Natural features, such as differences in elevation, tree masses or other similar natural features may negate the need for man -made screening in certain areas. The site sits approximately 40 feet higher than the property to the north and west, and there is natural vegetation that will provide screening of the outdoor storage area from adjacent properties. The building on this property as well as the building to the east also provides screening of the outdoor storage area. As stated previously, the applicant would also like to have the ability place a dumpster or compactors in the loading berths. The City code requires that "all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or enclosed within a container. The container shall be completely screened by a wall or an equivalent screen. The screen or enclosed building shall be architecturally compatible with the principal building it serves. Generally, the City has required that trash containers in commercial and industrial property to be stored inside or within a trash enclosure that has walls constructed of the same materials as the exterior of the principal building. The City has allowed trash compactors to be located outside subject to construction of walls that screen the compactor. A conditional use is defined as a use permitted in a zoning district that is contingent upon complying with all conditions as set forth by the approving agency, in this case the City of Apple Valley. The purpose of the C.U.P. procedure is to determine if the proposed site has any unique characteristics that require special consideration to adequately accommodate the proposed use without adverse effects upon the surrounding uses. The City has approved conditional use permits for outdoor storage of vehicles by requiring the use of solid fencing screening the outdoor storage areas. The City required ABRA Auto to construct a vinyl opaque fence, six feet high, around the storage area. The City required a combination of an eight- foot tall opaque fence on a four -foot high berm to screen Dick's Valley Service outdoor storage area. The City also required an eight -foot tall brick - screening wall for U- Haul's C.U.P. for outdoor storage of recreational vehicles. A C.U.P. has recently been approved for Lifeworks to allow for the outdoor storage of 15 small buses. The approved screening of the outdoor area includes a combination of berms and evergreen trees.

STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: AVBC, LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC15 -43 -C APPLICATION DATE: October 29, 2015 60 DAYS: December 27, 2015 120 DAYS: February 25, 2016 0* 04600 city of Apple Vahey ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5D December 2, 2015 Public Hearing Planning Commission Action Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing. Project Summary /Issues AVBC, LLC is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) for outdoor storage of commercial vehicles on a platted parcel located at 14608 Felton Court. The property is zoned "I -2" (General Industrial), which is a zoning district that allows for open storage as a conditional use. The applicant would like to store vehicles and trailers on an approximately 1.4 -acre paved area behind of the building. The applicant has stated that long -term storage of vehicles and trailers (vehicles not used for 90 days) or more and personal vehicles such as RV's, snowmobile or ATV trailers will not be allowed. Storage of damaged, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles and trailers should not be allowed to be stored. In addition, storage of semi - trailers outside of the loading docks should not be allowed. There are 74 parking spaces shown on the site in the front of the building, which is sufficient parking for an industrial building of this size. Parking in the rear of the building for employees or customers is not needed to meet City code requirements. City Code requires that all exterior storage shall be screened. The type of screening required includes a solid fence or wall, landscaping, or earth berm. If landscaping is used, it should provide a year -round solid screen. Natural features, such as differences in elevation, tree masses or other similar natural features may negate the need for man -made screening in certain areas. There is natural vegetation that will provide screening of the outdoor storage area from adjacent properties to the north. The building on this property as well as the building to the west will also provide screening of the outdoor storage area from the south and west. The ability for the public to view the storage area from the east will be very limited because of its distance from public streets or walkways. There is a possibility that the North Creek Greenway may run along the east side of the site. If the greenway were to be constructed at this location, it is likely that landscaping would be added for screening purposes. As stated previously, the applicant would also like to have the ability place a dumpster or compactors in the loading berths. The City code requires that "all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or enclosed within a container. The container shall be completely screened by a wall or an equivalent screen. The screen or enclosed building shall be architecturally compatible with the principal building it serves. Generally, the City has required that trash containers in commercial and industrial property be stored inside or within a trash enclosure that has walls constructed of the same materials as the exterior of the principal building. The City has allowed trash compactors to be located outside subject to construction of walls that screen the compactor. A conditional use is defined as a use permitted in a zoning district that is contingent upon complying with all conditions as set forth by the approving agency, in this case the City of Apple Valley. The purpose of the C.U.P. procedure is to determine if the proposed site has any unique characteristics that require special consideration to adequately accommodate the proposed use without adverse effects upon the surrounding uses. The City has approved conditional use permits for outdoor storage of vehicles by requiring the use of solid fencing screening the outdoor storage areas. The City required ABRA Auto to construct a vinyl opaque fence, six feet high, around the storage area. The City required a combination of an eight- foot tall opaque fence on a four -foot high berm to screen Dick's Valley Service outdoor storage area. The City also required an eight-foot tall brick - screening wall for U- Haul's C.U.P. for outdoor storage of recreational vehicles. A C.U.P. has recently been approved for Lifeworks to allow for the outdoor storage of 15 small buses. The approved screening of the outdoor area includes a combination of berms and evergreen trees.

Project Summary /Issues AVBC, LLC is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) for outdoor storage of commercial vehicles on a platted parcel located at 14645 Felton Court. The property is zoned "I -2" (General Industrial), which is a zoning district that allows for open storage as a conditional use. The applicant would like to store vehicles and trailers on an approximately 1.75 -acre paved area behind of the building. The applicant has stated that long -term storage of vehicles and trailers (vehicles not used for 90 days) or more and personal vehicles such as RV's, snowmobile or ATV trailers will not be allowed. Storage of damaged, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles and trailers should not be allowed to be stored. In addition, storage of semi- trailers outside of the loading docks should not be allowed. There are 103 parking spaces shown on the site in the front of the building, with 62 striped spaces in the rear of the building. City code requires that a minimum of 108 parking spaces be provided for this 83,072 -sq. ft. building. Therefore, a minimum of five spaces in the rear of the building should be dedicated for short -term employee parking. The applicant should identify the location of the additional parking spaces in the rear of the building that will be devoted for employee parking. City Code requires that all exterior storage shall be screened. The type of screening required includes a solid fence or wall, landscaping, or earth berm. If landscaping is used, it should provide a year -round solid screen. Natural features, such as differences in elevation, tree masses or other similar natural features may negate the need for man -made screening in certain areas. The site sits approximately 40 feet higher than the property to the north and west that will provide screening of the outdoor storage area from adjacent properties. The building on this property will provide screening of the outdoor storage area from Felton Court to the east. The outdoor storage area will be visible from a section of 147 Street West. Screening in the form of maintenance -free fencing, landscaping, or a combination thereof should be installed along the south side of the site. The screening elements should be extended along the west line of the paved area to point where the change in elevation provides the necessary screening. A storm water pond and parking lot are located directly north of the site. Impact of outdoor storage on these uses will be minimal. As stated previously, the applicant would also like to have the ability place a dumpster or compactors in the loading berths. The City code requires that "all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or enclosed within a container.

The applicant should install screening along the east side of the proposed storage area to screen it from 147 Street West, east of the building. The applicant could eliminate the need for screening along g g the east side by not allowing outdoor storage in the area visible from 147 Street West. A storm water pond and parking lot are located directly north of the site. Impact of outdoor storage on these uses will be minimal. Felton Court is a cul -de -sac designed public street that provides access to the four buildings within the Apple Valley Business Campus development. Use by the public, other than employees, customers, and vehicles serving the development, is minimal. Any impact to the public of the open storage area along Felton Court should be nominal and should not have an adverse impact on properties directly adjacent to the property. Therefore, screening likely would not be necessary. As stated previously, the applicant would also like to have the ability to place a dumpster or compactors in the loading berths. The City code requires that "all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or enclosed within a container. The container shall be completely screened by a wall or an equivalent screen. The screen or enclosed building shall be architecturally compatible with the principal building it serves. Generally, the City has required that trash containers in commercial and industrial property to be stored inside or within a trash enclosure that has walls constructed of the same materials as the exterior of the principal building. The City has allowed trash compactors to be located outside subject to construction of walls that screen the compactor. A conditional use is defined as a use permitted in a zoning district that is contingent upon complying with all conditions as set forth by the approving agency, in this case the City of Apple Valley. The purpose of the C.U.P. procedure is to determine if the proposed site has any unique characteristics that require special consideration to adequately accommodate the proposed use without adverse effects upon the surrounding uses. The City has approved conditional use permits for outdoor storage of vehicles by requiring the use of solid fencing screening the outdoor storage areas. The City required ABRA Auto to construct a vinyl opaque fence, six feet high, around the storage area. The City required a combination of an eight - foot tall opaque fence on a four -foot high berm to screen Dick's Valley Service outdoor storage area. The City also required an eight -foot tall brick- screening wall for U- Haul's C.U.P. for outdoor storage of recreational vehicles. A C.U.P. has recently been approved for Lifeworks to allow for the outdoor storage of 15 small buses. The approved screening of the outdoor area includes a combination of berms and evergreen trees.

STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: South Shore Development, Inc. PROJECT NUMBER: PC15-35-PZS APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: October 8, 2015 December 6, 2015 February 4, 2016 city of App Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 6A December 2, 2015 Land Use Proposed Action If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending the following action: 1. Recommend approval of the amendment to the 2030 Land Use Map to re-designate Outlot B, COBBLESTONE STONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION from "MD" (Medium Density Residential/6-12 units per acre) to "LD" (Low Density Residential/2-6 units per acre). 2. Recommend approval of the rezoning of Blocks 1 and 2 and Outlot A, COBBLESTONE LAKE NORTH SHORE 2ND ADDITION according to the preliminary plat, from Planned Development No. 703/zone 8 to Planned Development No. 703/zone 2A. 3. Recommend approval of the COBBLESTONE LAKE NORTH SHORE 2ND ADDITION preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions: • The plat shall be configured to have 47 residential lots and one (1) outlot. • Dedication on the final plat of a drainage and utility easement over Outlot A. • The dedication of one foot (1') wide easements that will restrict direct driveway access to Cobblestone Lake Parkway North, Embry Path, 155 Street West, and Eagle Bay Drive. • Parking shall be allowed on one side of Street A in accordance with the parking plan, dated September 28, 2015 • The maximum width of a driveway within the street right-of-way shall be 14 feet. * Curb modifications along the north side of Cobblestone Lake Parkway North shall be made at the public street intersections. * The sanitary sewer and watermain lines shall be re-aligned to connect with existing lines at the intersections of Street A and Cobblestone Lake Parkway North. • The existing sanitary sewer and watermain services from Cobblestone Lake Parkway North to the property shall be removed or abandoned to the satisfaction of the City. • Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the landscape plan dated November 9, 2015, subject to the planting all trees outside of the street right -of- way. • Sidewalks shall be installed along both sides of the public street. Project Summary /Issues Approval of the rezoning and subdivision will be subject to approval by the Metropolitan Council of the proposed amendments to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The City Engineer has recommended revisions to the preliminary plat, and grading and utility plans as outlined in his attached memo dated October 23, 2015. Revisions should be made to those plans in accordance with Engineer's recommendations. A 5 -foot wide sidewalk is proposed along one side of Street A, which will intersect with the existing sidewalks along Cobblestone Lake Parkway North. A sidewalk shall be added to the other side of the street as required by the planned development ordinance. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan and planting list for Outlot A that has been reviewed by staff. The plan shows the planting of trees within the Street A right-of-way. Those trees should be placed five to seven feet inside the property line. To avoid the need to establish unusually large drainage and utility easements in Lots 1 and 29, Block 1, Staff is recommending that the sanitary sewer and watermain be extended to the site via connections to existing lines at the intersections of Street A and Cobblestone Lake Parkway North. This will require the applicant to abandon or remove the existing services previously installed to the serve the site.

"MD" land uses include townhomes, other attached single - family dwellings, and low -rise apartments and condominiums at densities that range between six to twelve units per acre. This designation fits with the "M -4 ", "M-5", "M -6" (Multi- Family) and "PD" (Planned Development) zoning districts. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map that would re- designate Outlot B, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION to "LD" (Low Density Residential /2 -6 units per acre), with the proposed single- family development having an overall density of 4.1 units per acre. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan describes Low Density Residential as areas intended to create, preserve, and maintain the places to live that define the primary character and identity of Apple Valley. A variety of housing types may be built in the "LD" areas including single - family detached dwellings, duplexes, twin homes, townhomes, and other types of low density attached housing that range between three to six units per acre. Most single- family residential neighborhoods are zoned "R-1", "R -2 ", "R-3", and "R -CL ". "R-5", "M-1", "M -2 ", and "M-3", and "PD" districts are eligible for this land use category provided that the performance standards are met. RE ELWEST BBLE MEM,Rw Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map Livable Communities impact: The proposal will add 47 market -rate single-family dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock, which is consistent with the Livable Communities Act of providing addition life -cycle dwelling units in the city. Zoning: Outlot H is currently zoned "PD- 703 /zone 8" (Planned Development), which allows for sand and gravel mining as a permitted use. Zone 8 was established as a temporary zone within this planned development in 2001 in order to allow the existing property owners the ability to continue mining certain areas of the development site until the mining material was exhausted or development happened. It was expected that when one of these events occurred, the property would be rezoned consistent with the development proposal. The property identified to be used for the single- family development is proposed to be rezoned "PD- 703 /zone 2A ", which allows for single family, two - family, and six -unit townhouse dwellings as permitted uses. The planned development ordinance's minimum lot area requirements for single - family lots in zone 2A are 4,800 sq. ft. for an interior lot and 6,000 sq. ft. for a corner lot, with a minimum lot width of 40 feet for both an interior and corner lot. The residential lots will vary in size from 5,121 sq. ft. to 18,063 sq. ft., which meet or exceed the minimum requirements. Zoning Map Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat indicates the subdivision of Outlot B, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION into 47 single- family lots and one outlot. Outlot A will be open space that will be privately maintained. The City's subdivision code requires that a plat include drainage and utility easements, a minimum of ten (10) feet wide, which shall abut the street right -of -way and shall be centered on the rear and side lot lines. The preliminary utility plan indicates easements around the perimeter of each lot in accordance with the code. Access to the proposed lots will be via a public street that will be constructed on platted road right- of -way (r -o -w) that will have a width of 52 feet. On- street parking will be restricted to one side of the street in accordance with the planned development ordinance. The plat is bounded by public streets to the north, south and the east, and an outlot to the west. Direct access from the lots within the proposed subdivision to the abutting streets shall be prohibited, by means of access restriction easements that will be part of final plat approval. A portion of a pipeline easement, 67 -90 feet deep, is located in the rear of Lots 7 -22, Block 1. This easement will remain, which will put limitations on improvements in the rear of those lots. Grading Plan: The site is has been mass graded as part of the sand and gravel reclamation. Additional grading will occur in preparation for single - family development that will include grading for the streets, utilities, and building pads. The City Engineer has reviewed the revised grading plans and his comments are provided in the attached memo, dated November 20, 2015. Landscape Plan: As is typical with other single - family residential development in the city, no overall landscape plan has been submitted. The subdivision code does require, at a minimum, the planting of one (1) tree per lot. That tree shall be placed five to seven feet inside the property line. There is one outlot in the proposed project that will not be developed and will be left as private open space. Staff always has concern about how a space like this will be maintained and asked that the applicant provide a landscape plan. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan that shows a combination of Black Hills spruce and Norway pines planted around the perimeter of the outlot and three lindens planted within the outlot. The plan also shows the planting of trees within the Street A right-of-way. As stated previously, those trees should be placed five to seven feet inside the property line. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Municipal utilities to serve the proposed development will be available by means of extensions of existing watermain, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines located in the Cobblestone Lake Parkway right-of-way. All public utilities and streets to serve this development will be designed by the City. The City Engineer has reviewed the utility plan and is recommending that the sanitary sewer and watermain be extended via connections to existing lines at the intersections of Street A and Cobblestone Lake Parkway North. This will avoid the need to establish unusually large drainage and utility easements in Lots 1 and 29, Block 1. In addition, the existing services previously installed to the serve the site will need to be abandoned or removed. Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: Access to the proposed lots will be via a public street that will intersect with Cobblestone Lake Parkway. In addition, construction of the proposed street intersections will cause the removal of a minimum of 12 recessed parking spaces located along the north side of Cobblestone Lake Parkway. All vehicular access to the dwellings units within the development will be from Street A. The proposed width of Street A will be 26 feet wide paved driving surface, which is typical for this planned development but is 6 feet less than a typical local street. This will require that on- street parking will be limited to one side of the street only, which is also typical for this planned development. Staff has not identified any outstanding issues with the traffic circulation within the proposed subdivision, Pedestrian Access: A 5 -foot wide sidewalk is proposed along one side of Street A, which will intersect with the existing sidewalks along Cobblestone Lake Parkway North. A sidewalk shall be added to the other side of the street as required by the planned development ordinance. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held on November 4, 2015. No comments from the public were received and the hearing was closed. 0.00 *0000 •0 0 * * CITY OF Apple Valley MEMO Public Works TO: Tom Lovelace, City Planner FROM: Brandon S.

This infrastructure shall be publicly designed and inspected. • The developer shall identify whether site utilities will be installed under private or public contract. • Due to the existence of a gas pipeline running east and west along the northern boundary of the proposed site an agreement with the pipeline for encroachment within the easement is required. Developer shall obtain and provide a copy of executed agreement. • A detour plan will be required as part of final construction plans for the proposed construction of streets and utilities within Cobblestone Lake Parkway. • A pre - construction meeting shall be held prior to beginning any work on the site. • Correct the City Engineer name on the cover sheet. Site • Pavement section for median cut shall match existing Cobblestone Lake Parkway. • Indicated sidewalk on both sides of street A. • Outlot A shall be dedicated as a drainage and utility easement. Grading & Drainage • A Natural Resources Management Permit will be required prior to mass site grading. • A construction entrance and perimeter silt fences shall be provided for erosion control purposes. • Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site. • Storm water quantity and quality control has been accounted for in the regional storm water pond EVR -P44 and EVR -p44.2 infiltration trenches. Provide a low flow diversion weir and outlet pipe from existing MH -101 (or add additional structure over existing 42" RCP) to direct storm water from development to EVR -P44.2 infiltration trench. Provide infiltration calculations for EVR - P44.2. Storm Sewer • Storm sewer catch basins shall be denoted as watertight where local conditions prevent 10' separation from water main. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main * Re-align the sanitary sewer and water main at Street A and Cobblestone Lake Parkway to avoid 90 degree jogs in utility lines and avoid permanent easements in lots 1 & 29 of Block 1. Re- alignment would include connecting to existing utilities in Cobblestone Lake Parkway and removing or abandoning existing services back to the tee.

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 27, 2015* Extension granted to 12/10/15 *a * **** 0 * 00 **** 0** City of A pple11 Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: December 2, 2015 Land Use Proposed Action The project review calendar requires the Planning Commission to act at its December 2, 2015, meeting. A. The preliminary plat of Eagle Ridge Business Park Second Addition meets the requirements of the subdivision ordinance, so staff is recommending approval with conditions. The following motion is recommended for the Preliminary Plat: 1. Recommend approval of the subdivision by preliminary plat of Eagle Ridge Business Park Second Addition, subject to compliance with all City Codes and Ordinances and the following conditions: a. A minimum 10' drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated behind Evendale Way right-of-way on Outlot A. b. A cash-in-lieu of land parkland dedication shall be required in accordance with the City's dedication formula in the subdivision ordinance. c. Stormwater pond dedication has been previously satisfied. d. Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated for a future well site and water main as noted in the Assistant City Engineer's memo of June 12, 2015. e. A development agreement between the School District and City which provides the terms and conditions of the installation and payment of the cost for future road improvements which may be needed when the facility expands in the future shall be executed and recorded as a condition of the final plat approval. Page 1 of 10 B. CUP for bus storage and maintenance facility: the Planning Commission could take one of two actions: recommend approval of the CUP with conditions or recommend denial of the CUP with information that should be considered by the City Council when they review the Commission's recommendation. To recommend approval of the CUP for a bus storage and maintenance facility: 2. Recommend approval of a conditional use permit to construct a 60,000 sq. ft. transportation hub facility including bus storage, bus maintenance, fueling and bus wash, subject to approval of the Preliminary Plat of Eagle Ridge Second Addition, and compliance with all City Code and Ordinances and the following conditions: a. The transportation hub shall be screened from the residential properties to the north by a minimum 12' tall articulated wood privacy fence with landscaping on both sides of the fence as depicted in the November 23, 2015, fence location plan. The final fence location, height and planting plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Planner prior to issuance of the building permit. b. The north garage doors of the bus garage shall remain closed from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. The doors may be opened during this time, but then closed once the bus enters the garage. c. The garage doors on the maintenance bays and bus wash shall remain closed from 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The doors may be opened during this time, but then closed once the vehicle enters the bus wash or repair bay. d. The School District shall establish a contact person who will receive phone calls if neighboring properties have concerns regarding the Transportation Hub facility. To recommend denial of the CUP for a bus storage and maintenance facility, staff has developed items to consider should the proposed transportation hub facility not be recommended. A motion might consider: 2. Recommend denial of a conditional use permit for a bus stora e and maintenance facility on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street based upon the following findings (additional findings may be added by the Planning Commission): a. The proposed. Transportation Hub Facility is located on property that immediately abuts eleven residential properties to the north. b. Eighty four buses will be stored and maintained at the facility. The garage is designed with overhead doors located on the north and south sides of the building which places significant bus driving activity at the north property line on a daily basis. c. All 84 buses will enter the building from the north garage doors at least one time per day which will impact the abutting residential properties. d. In order to screen the facility and mitigate noise impacts to the abutting residential neighborhood, a 12' tall by 1,274' fence is proposed to be constructed along the north property line. The proposed fence is taller and longer than any other industrial screening fence in the City and it is located directly adjacent to single family property. e. The garage doors will remain open during the day, increasing disruptive activity and impact noises at random times. f. The School District expects to expand the facility in the future, but ultimate build -out plans have not been submitted to determine possible impacts to adjacent properties and City streets. g. The zoning code states that a conditional use permit (CUP) must be issued for a particular use and not for a particular person or firm. The School District states that it will be responsive to any issues or complaints from adjacent property owners. The City must consider that the District may sell the property to a private company in the future; a conditional use permit runs with the land. A privately -owned bus garage facility would Page 2 of 10 not be a suitable use abutting a residential neighborhood. h. The zoning code states that in order to issue a conditional use permit, the City must make the finding that the development 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. i. The noise study confirms that even with the construction of a 12' fence there will be times that the bus facility will generate sound levels that exceed 10 dBA above the ambient sound level which is considered "intrusive" to the adjacent residential properties. j. The zoning code states that the City may deny a conditional use permit application when a particular use is found not to be suitable in the zoning district or that the conditions set forth in said regulations have not been met. C. CUP for Outdoor Storage Area: To recommend approval of the CUP for the fenced outdoor storage area, the following motion is recommended: 3. Recommend approval of a conditional use permit to construct a 2,700 sq. ft. storage area for a maximum of 6 buses, subject to approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the Operation of a Bus Storage and Maintenance Facility and compliance with all City Codes and Ordinances and the following conditions: a. The outdoor area shall be paved. b. An 8' tall maintenance -free fence shall be used to screen the storage area. c. The overnight storage of buses shall be limited to the screened storage area. To recommend denial of the CUP for outdoor storage: No motion would be required if the CUP for the bus storage and maintenance facility is recommended for denial. D. Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization: To recommend approval of the Site Plan /Building Permit Authorization for the 60,000 sq. ft. Transportation Hub Facility, the following motion is recommended: 4. Recommend approval of the site plan and give building permit authorization subject to the approval of the Preliminary Plat of Eagle Ridge Second. Addition and a Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility and compliance with all City Codes and Ordinances and the following conditions: a. In accordance with § 155.351(E), the City authorizes the construction of the 12' articulated fence along the north property line to screen the site from the residential properties to the north. b. The garage doors shall be painted a color that complements the color of the exterior building material color. c. The garage doors shall be insulated and constructed of an inside and outside layer of 25 gage steel with 2" polystyrene between for insulation. d. Air handling units shall be installed on the south side of the bus garage which are sized to allow for the buses to idle during the pre -trip safety check with the north garage doors closed. e. The north fence shall be installed after site grading and prior to construction to screen the residential properties to the north. f. The plans shall be revised to address the issues identified in the Assistant City Engineer's June 12, 2015, memo. Page 3 of 10 Budget Impact None. g. The rooftop air handling equipment on the bus storage garage and bus maintenance garage shall be painted to match the color of the roof. h. The trash enclosure shall be constructed with an exterior of masonry that matches the exterior of the buildings and be of sufficient size to enclose dumpster containers. To recommend denial of the site plan/building permit authorization: No motion would be required if the CUP for the bus storage and maintenance facility is recommended for denial. In order to recommend denial of the site plan /building permit authorization, a motion to deny is required. Project Summary /Issues Independent School District 196 submitted an application to construct a transportation hub facility on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street West. The 60,000 sq. ft. facility would include a bus garage for storage of 84 buses, four bus maintenance bays, office, fenced temporary storage for a maximum of six buses, and a free standing bus wash and fueling area. The Transportation Hub Facility project was reviewed at the Planning Commission's May 20, June 17, and July 15, 2015, meetings. Meetings have been held with the neighbors who abut the property directly to the north of the proposed facility. The outstanding items from the July 15, 2015, meeting were: 1. Keeping the north garage doors closed. One item that was discussed was to require that north garage doors remain closed except when buses are entering the garage to provide more sound attenuation. The Noise Consultant stated that keeping the doors closed will actually result in increased noise on the north side of the garage, especially during peak periods, The exterior of the garage building is reflective rather than absorptive, which could result in increased noise levels of 2 to 3 dBA to the north. In addition, having the doors closed would result in delays at the door as buses wait to enter the garage. Finally, a driver would not necessarily know if a garage bay is full and if full, may need to back the bus to realign its position once the door is open. Keeping the north doors open would allow for the most efficient loading of the garage during peak periods. The School District has agreed to keep the north doors closed from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. buses may enter the garage, but the doors must then be closed. This will allow for the most efficient loading of the garage, while providing additional noise attenuation during the evening and early morning hours. 2. North fence: height, location and plantings. The landscape plan has been revised to show landscaping throughout the site and coniferous trees along the north property line. Property owners abutting the fence may choose from a list of different tree species i[they wish a different type of tree. The fence will be articulated and will allow for varying heights jfa homeowner prefers a fence shorter than 12'. The specific plantings and fence heights would be finalized prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. Rooftop air handling units: Rooftop air handling units were observed at the Eden Prairie School District bus garage and found to be a shiny metal unit. ISD 196 has agreed to paint the units to match the color of the roof to help them to blend into the design of the garage roof. 4. Site Circulation at Fueling and Bus Wash Bay: The City's Assistant Engineer would like to review a circulation plan to ensure all activities within the site can be accessed in the site. He is concerned that bus drivers may make loops using City streets to access the fueling and wash area. This is a minor issue which will be addressed when the site plan is finalized prior to issuance of the building permit. Page 4 of 10 Attachments) 1. New: Revised Landscape Plan (11 -23 -2015) 2.

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 "I -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 garage[]" is listed as a conditional use and is a similar use as 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." A conditional use permit is appropriate "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. A 12' articulated wood panel fence is proposed along the north property line. Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat of Eagle Ridge Second. Addition involves the subdivision of the exiting 15.8 -acre property to create a 10.2 -acre lot for the transportation facility and a 5.6 -acre outlot 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, so Evendale Way would be terminated in a cul -de -sac. 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 is scheduled to be held at the July 23, 2015, City Council meeting. The City Engineers are reviewing the dedication to ensure it is sufficient size for a commercial cul -de -sac. Easements will also be needed for the future well and water main as indicated in the Assistant City Engineer's memo. Site Plan: The approximately 60,000 sq. ft. transportation hub is proposed to consist of a bus storage area, maintenance bays and office area. The 45,700 sq. ft. bus storage area would store 84 buses, 28 buses across and three buses deep. A total of 14 garage doors (six buses behind each door) will be visible on both the north side and south side of the building. The office area would be approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and provide open office, meeting space, lockers and break room for the drivers. The maintenance facility would be approximately 8,300 sq. ft. with two overhead doors each on the east and west elevations and one overhead door on the south elevation for deliveries. 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. Page 7 of 10 Fence plans were presented to the neighbors abutting the subject property to the north and most of them indicated that they preferred a 12' rather than 8' tall screening fence along the north property line to provide the best visual screening. Cross section drawings indicate that an 8' tall fence would allow some visibility into the site and the tops of the buses. In spite of that, some property owners are indicating that they would prefer an 8' fence. The paneled wood fence is proposed to have off-sets and articulation which will allow landscaping to be installed on both sides of the fence. The south property line of the Scottsbriar properties abutting the site has a continuous 4' high berm which will help to screen the view of the fence. Three access points are shown to the site: a right-out only 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. 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. Grading Plan: The site is relatively flat. The north property line has been staked and the location of the 4' tall berm is found to be completely on 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. The entire property was previously cultivated for crops, so permanent vegetative cover will be required for the Transportation Hub property. 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 the pipeline easement holders to extend the utilities under the pipeline easement. 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. The landscape plan was revised to show the installation of a 12' tall screening fence along the north property line with plantings installed on both sides of the fence. Elevation Drawings: The exterior of the building will consist of insulated garage doors, decorative concrete block, metal fascia panels and metal roof. The clearstory window along the length of the bus storage facility facing south has been removed, reducing the height of the garage by two feet. The posts between the garage doors are constructed of 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. A right-out only access is proposed from the site onto Johnny Cake Ridge Road which has been moved north as required by the Assistant City Engineer. • 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. • 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. Page 8 of 10 The traffic study conducted by Wenk Associates for the School District was reviewed by the City's Traffic Consultant and compared with previous transportation studies. The City's Traffic Engineer noted that the results of the Wenk study and previous traffic modeling studies are consistent with previous studies and expected traffic generation and traffic levels. The City study found it necessary to move the access on Johnny Cake Ridge Road a minimum of 40' north. This was done with ISD 1.96 revising the access to a right -out only access. Current estimates are that as adjacent vacant properties are developed, the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street will meet the warrants for a signalized intersection. Noise Study: A noise and air quality study was conducted by David Braslau, Braslau Associates, Inc. The following is a summary of the findings: • The biggest noise impact for properties to the north will occur in the afternoon when all 84 buses return to the site between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. and enter the garage through the north garage doors. • With the access on Johnny Cake revised to be an exit only, all 84 buses will need to enter the site from either the Upper 147 Street West or Evendale Way. The noise study confirms that this location will not exceed MPCA daytime noise limit requirements. • The height of the fence was also studied. A 12' fence provides the most sound attenuation, but an 8' fence is only 2 or 3 decibels less attenuation than a 12' fence. • Noise study recommendation is that either an 8' or 12' tall fence should be constructed along the north property line, air handling units should be installed on the south side of the garage, and the north doors should remain closed till a minimum of 7:00 a.m. The School District has agreed to leave the north doors closed until after 8:00 a.m. Air Quality: Mr. Innocent Eyoh, Planning Principal, Air Assessment of the MPCA found that the MPCA air emissions requirements will not be exceeded with this project. However, he recommended the following measures to ensure the best air quality on the site: • Good bus maintenance program to ensure optimum fuel economy, extended life and to control emissions. • Vehicle replacement program that replaces older buses with newer cleaner models. • Use of engine block heaters to reduce idle time. • Use of cleaner fuels. 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. Page 9 of 10 Public Hearing and Neighborhood Questions, Comments and Responses: The Transportation Hub Facility project was reviewed at the Planning Commission's May 20, June 17, and July 15, 2015, meetings. Meetings have been held with the neighbors who abut the property directly to the north of the proposed facility. The outstanding items from the July 15, 2015, meeting were: 1. Keeping the north garage doors closed 2. North fence: height, location and plantings 3. Rooftop air handling units 4. Circulation pattern at car wash and fueling area 1. North Garage Doors: The Noise Consultant, David Braslau, states that keeping the doors closed, especially during peak periods, could result in higher noise levels than he previously estimated. First, the exterior of the building is reflective rather than absorptive, which could result in increased noise levels of 2 to 3 dBA to the north. Second, having the doors closed would result in delays at the door as buses wait to enter the garage. Any delay on the north side of the garage would result in increased emissions. At the same time, the bus parking spots are not designated. A driver would not necessarily know if a garage bay is full and if full, may need to back the bus to realign its position once the door is open. Keeping the north doors open would allow for the most efficient loading of the garage during peak periods. The School District has agreed to keep the north doors closed from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Buses may enter, but the doors must then be close 2. North Fence: The north fence plan related to height, location and landscaping has been addressed by the School District. The landscape plan shows landscaping throughout the site and coniferous trees along the north property line. Property owners abutting the fence may choose from a list of different tree species [t/iey wish a different type of tree. The fence will be articulated and will allow for varying heights jfa homeowner prefers a fence shorter than 12'. The specific plantings and fence heights would be finalized prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. Rooftop Air handling units: Rooftop air handling units were observed at the Eden Prairie School District bus garage and found to be a shiny metal unit. ISD 196 has agreed to paint the units to match the color of the roof to help them to blend into the design of the garage roof. 4. Site Circulation: The City's Assistant Engineer would like to review a circulation plan to ensure all activities within the site can be accessed in the site. He is concerned that bus drivers may make loops using City streets to access the fueling and wash area. This is a minor issue which will be addressed when the site plan is finalized prior to issuance of the building permit. Previous public hearing questions and responses are attached.

Our client is the landowner. Patina Apple Valley Land and related entities have owned this land for many years and we understand that the property has been zoned Industrial since at least 1968. Although the landowner has considered other development scenarios in the past, including a 2006 proposal to rezone the site to allow multi- family development, it acknowledges the City's long- standing commitments to guide and zone the property for Industrial purposes. When Patina decided to sell the property, it carefully selected a buyer who would advance development plans that are consistent with the City's requirements for Industrial properties and also with the active pipeline that traverses the entire site. Independent School District's Transportation Hub plans are being reviewed as a conditional use within the I -1 (Limited Industrial) zoning district, even though uses such as warehousing, auto storage, major automobile repair and auto body shops are all permitted uses within the I -1 District. The purpose of this letter, however, is not to argue whether a conditional use permit should be required in this case. Rather, our client urges the City Council to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the Transportation Hub with reasonable conditions to address any anticipated impacts, to protect the value of other property within the I -1 Industrial District, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan, which guides the property for Industrial development. MEMBER OF THE WORLD SERVICES GROUP OFFICES: A Worldwide Network of Professional Service Providers Minneapolis / Bismarck / Des Moines / Fargo / Monterrey, Mexico / Shanghai Honorable Mayor Mary Hamann - Roland July 24, 2015 Page 2 The property is for sale and it will ultimately be sold and developed for Industrial purposes.

Specifically, our position is that the proposed location is "not a good fit" for such a facility. With appreciation, we recognize the Petitioner has made efforts to address the numerous issues. However we are obligated to note many issues that remain unresolved. Therefore, Residents want to clearly- communicate that we remain as strongly- opposed as ever. Noise: The hub will inherently generate a significant amount of noise as busses enter /exit, are rotated and serviced within the facility. Unfortunately, there are times when the doors will inevitably need to be opened, including venting of exhaust build -up, or simply to get relief from a hot summer day by a breeze. Of greater concern, all data made available has shown the proposed screening (Fence) is insufficient in attenuating noise (even if increased from 8' to 12', desirable for visual screening of busses). We are obligated to note that a single meeting was held regarding screening, but residents clearly- stated our participation must not ever be misrepresented as "Resignated Consent ", and our noise issues remained unresolved. Simply put, the fence /trees still allows more noise to pass than it stops. Due to such close proximity, the facility's noises will negatively- affect the ability of homeowners to enjoy their property. Air Pollution: The exhaust of the 80 -90 busses will inherently generate a significant amount of fumes /smells. The Petitioner has made efforts to alleviate this issue by providing prevailing wind data, exhaust estimates, and promises of a cleaner fleet. However, relying upon optimal wind conditions to handle the situation is not advisable. Prevailing winds are not guaranteed to blow at all, or even in the desired direction. Again due to such close proximity, the facility's fumes /smells will negatively- affect the ability of homeowners to enjoy their property. Traffic: Although no area businesses spoke at the Transportation Hub's public hearing, the same was not true when a proposal was recently submitted for development of the old Hansen cement plant. Additionally, many residents communicated they already experience difficulty in accessing JCRR from 144 The Petitioner's traffic study shows this problem will increase during peak hours. While we understand that any /all area developments will increase traffic, residents have welcomed other businesses with far lesser impacts upon traffic volumes. 1 Property Values: Assessing impact upon neighboring home values continues to be a topic for debate. Not only are there a number of variables, there is also a lack of comparable data. Bus Facilities within the metro are not commonly located immediately next to low- density residential zones. The same was observed in greater Minnesota communities. Several estimates were gathered from local experts, including one conservatively estimated at $20 -25k negative impact. Regardless of agreement on amounts, not a single licensed realtor (or appraiser) has agreed with the Petitioner's claim that Homeowner Property Values will remain unaffected. They've been quickly- dismissive of such claims. In Closing: Residents appreciate that efforts have been made to address the issues, and appreciate the Petitioner's expressed desire to be Good Neighbors. However, even with the best of intentions, the efforts do not address the problems inherently- coupled with their facility (Noise, Air Pollution, Traffic, and Property Values). During this proposal's most - recent extension, no further contact with residents has been initiated by the Petitioner. Residents want to clearly- communicate that we remain as strongly- opposed as ever. In fact, several have even voiced intent to move away (if approval is granted). More than ever, we feel placing such a facility immediately adjacent to a quiet, low - density residential zone is simply not a good idea. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Bus /Transportation Hub Petition be denied approval at the proposed location. In support of this request, 108 signatures (98.2% of 110 polled) were gathered and previously submitted during Public Hearing. Please note, many residents hope that a more - appropriate alternative location will be selected by the Petitioner. To this end, residents even suggested several other options (notably, a p parcel situated immediately southwest of the intersection of JCRR/ 147 Residents understand Industrial zones will be developed eventually, and have even welcomed businesses with far less negative impacts (like Uponor & Abdallah Chocolates). But again, we are not in favor of the currently proposed location for the Bus /Transportation Facility. Throughout this year, we have seen an incredible amount of discussion & consideration for both the proposed bus facility and other nearby Industrial developments. It reflects very favorably upon our city, and is highly commendable. In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday nearly upon us, we extend our sincerest Thanks to the City for its continued efforts, service, and careful deliberations!

Hi Bruce and Kathy, Sincerely,Mike Erdmann 5936 144th St W, Apple Valley, MN Kathy - Please see the below email for a copy of the Letter to the Editor that I provided to The Sun (printed Aug7). Please have that Letter included in the packet to the Planning Commission, along with the StarTribune and SunThisWeek articles that Maggie has already sent. Thank you in advance! > From: Michael Erdmann < > Subject: LETTER TO THE EDITOR > To: "editor.thisweek < > > Date: Tuesday, August 4, 2015, 2:48 PM I wanted to clarify some details of the July 29 School Bus Hub story. Our homes are immediately - adjacent to the proposed site, and a large number of townhomes are located just to the east. Next, the $20k -$25k degraded property value number was the lowest from estimates provided from licensed realtors. If 98% of current residents (110 polled) oppose the location, how would future buyers feel? Homeowners have actively - participated at the District's Listening Session, multiple Public Hearings, and Fencing meeting (July 14). Unfortunately, the estimates were unavailable until after the Public Hearings were closed. Although the District was presented this info on July 14, lots of other issues were voiced at the same time. Several homeowners wanted to ensure this info didn't get lost in the shuffle, and asked myself to attend the July 27 School Board meeting. The City Planning and Administrator offices have made remarkable efforts to hear concerns and facilitate discussions. The District and its' Board want to be good neighbors, and we are very appreciative of their efforts as well. Unfortunately, the issues are inherent to the facility's normal operations and unavoidable. For example to adequately block view of buses from homeowners, the proposed 8 -foot wall must be increased to 12 -feet. Even then, the District's Noise Study shows that more noise escapes than gets stopped. Believe it or not, many of the homeowners want our classrooms to benefit from this facility's savings. We just want it to succeed somewhere that is not adjacent to a quiet residential zone. Therefore, the homeowners provided several alternatives within Apple Valley. One is near the MVTA station, another is just SW of the proposed site (but might require cleanup of material from a previous owner). Understandably, the District is hesitant to switch sites, as taxpayer dollars have been invested in this project, and they take that responsibility seriously. We have significant investments in our homes too. We remain hopeful that current discussions between the City and District continue, and can yield a solution that benefits everyone!

As you have heard, the district considered 14 sites for the proposed transportation hub and found that property located on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 147 Street West best met all the criteria. The district proceeded with an additional transportation hub because of the potential long- range savings to district taxpayers of approximately $500,000 annually. We understand your concerns and appreciated your comments at the board meeting.

In September, the school district purchased an 8-acre site - located at the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street near Uponor for $1.4 million to construct a new facility for its buses. The proposed facility would house about half of the district's 200-bus fleet, while the other half would remain at the district's existing transportation building in Rosemount. The new facility would be closer to the district's population center and would provide a second site for staging routes. The cost of the land and building will be paid for with local building lease levy funds that were authorized by the state as part of the supplemental budget bill approved in 2014. The property is zoned industrial, but there is a housing development located a few miles to the north and to the west of the site. The district's plans include a sound barrier wall to mitigate noise issues, but residents say the wall isn't enough. "We are worried more traffic and noise will hurt property values," Mike Erdmann said. Erdmann estimates that home sale values would drop by $20,000 to $25,000 the first year of operations if noise and traffic are not properly mitigated. Erdmann is among 108 residents who signed a petition that was given to the School Board on July 27 in opposition of the district's proposed transportation hub. Erdmann urged the board to consider moving the district's proposed transportation hub to a site near the Minnesota Valley Transportation Authority's 157th Street Station on Pilot Knob Road. http://sunthisweek.com/2015/07/29/proposed-school-bus-hub-has-residents-worried/ 8/13/2015 Proposed school bus hub has residents worried SunThisweek Page 2 of 2 "We want to make sure all options are fully explored," he said. School Board Member Rob Duchscher said the district plans to meet with city officials in the coming weeks to explore other options to mitigate noise. But the district is hesitant to explore other sites. "We had listening sessions already, and I'm a little surprised this came out at this time," Duchscher said. "We have $120,000 of taxpayer money invested in this and were told there wouldn't be any issues." The school district's plans have not yet received approval from the city. The issue will likely go before the Apple Valley Planning Commission on Aug. 5. If approved, the issue will go to the City Council later this summer. If the plans move forward, construction would begin next fall and be completed in summer 2016. The district is looking to the new facility as a way to cut its transportation costs. Due to a lack of storage space, the district has to contract with private companies to cover some of its bus routes. With the additional storage provided by the hub facility, the district will be able to own enough buses to cover all routes, officials say. District officials say the new facility will save about $200,000 to $300,000 each year initially, which will increase to up to $500,000 each year by the fifth year of operation.

By Erin Adler ( http:// www. startribune .com /erin- adler/195633361/) Star Tribune AUGUST 11, 2015 — 2:21PM Mike Erdmann thinks the school district's plan to build a 65,000- square -foot transportation hub to store and dispatch 85 buses is a good idea. He just doesn't want it located a few feet from his Apple Valley backyard. Erdmann and a group of neighbors are protesting the Rosemount -Apple Valley -Eagan district's proposal to create a second transportation hub, which district officials say could save more than $500,000 a year in transportation costs. Residents near the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street are worried about traffic, noise and aesthetics, which could lead to their property values decreasing, Erdmann said. He presented a petition with 108 signatures at a July school board meeting. "There's a lot of us who support the district taking these financial saving measures," Erdmann said. "We just question the wisdom of placing it next to a quiet residential zone." But the district is moving forward with the project, pending approval by the city in August, said Jeff Solomon, the district's finance and operations director. Rob Duchscher, school board member, said the board was caught a bit off guard by the opposition. "We thought that we had really done a nice job as far as communicating with the neighborhood, giving them the opportunity to express their concern," he said. Both district and city officials have been trying to listen to residents, Erdmann said. Plans call for a fence 12 feet high with sound - reduction properties to separate the homeowners' property from the 10 -acre site, zoned for industrial development. 'We're kind of wondering why they picked this [lot]," said George Geiger, who lives in nearby townhouses. Erdmann believes the fence won't be enough. "1 think the goal should be to move this to another site," he said. "I worry that those operational things are too much inherent to the facility — too much noise, too much busyness." Plans for the hub have been discussed for several years. The district looked at 14 sites, but decided on this one because of land cost and zoning, Solomon said. The hub, slated to open in the fall of 2016, will provide more bus storage, allowing the district to buy enough buses to cover all its routes. The district currently relies on contracted buses to cover about 30 of its 240 routes. Those contracts would end, saving the district money, Solomon said. The new $10 million hub, which will also include office space, a maintenance facility, stalls for washing buses and a fueling station, would be closer to many bus routes than the existing Rosemount bus garage. That means less gas, mileage and time, which saves money, said Solomon. The district sent letters in March to 200 neighbors, informing them of the plan and http : / /wvwv. startribune.com/neighbors- upset- about - proposed- district -196- bus - hub -in- apple... 8/13/2015 Neighbors upset about proposed District 196 bus hub in Apple Valley - StarTribune.com Page 2 of 2 several community meetings, Solomon said. "This is late in the process for us," he added. "But you know, the reality is, input is input, whether it is early or late." Duchscher said he was concerned upon hearing that residents consulted several Realtors who said nearby homes could lose property value. He said he is willing to consider all options, including trying to make the current site work or building somewhere else. But if another spot were considered, the district would have to find a way to recoup the $120,000 in taxpayer money already invested in this site, he said. The next steps are in the city's hands, Duchscher and Solomon said. 'We'll try to work something to make sure the neighborhood's happy and the city's happy," Duchscher said. Erin.Adler @startribune.com 952 - 746 -3283 http: / /www. startribune.com/neighbors- upset- about - proposed- district -196- bus - hub -in- apple... 8/13/2015 The following is a compilation of comments received at the May 20, June 17 and July 15 Planning Commission meetings. In addition, questions/comments from a July 2 meeting with neighborhood representatives, and a July 6 meeting with property owners abutting the proposed project to the north are also included. 1. Zoning Issues — How long has the property been zoned I-1 (Limited Industrial)? What other uses are allowed in the 1-1 zoning district? Might this facility be a lower impact use than other industrial uses? Staff Response: • Earliest zoning map on file is 1968 and it showed the property zoned industrial. The property has been continuously zoned industrial since that time. • Other uses allowed in the zoning district include manufacturing, office/warehouse, truck storage within a building, animal clinics and major automobile repair and auto body repair. • The table below compares 1-1 zoning provisions and the proposed transportation hub.

Not restricted. Tenant occupied and owner occupied. • Isn't the Zoning Ordinance violated (§ 155.356) if the service bay doors of the maintenance facility face Johnny Cake? Staff Response: Section 155.356 pertains to Motor Fuel Stations. This facility is not a motor fuel station so those requirements do not apply. • CUPs exist to provide flexibility. But it's unwise and inappropriate to stretch zoning definitions, allow multiple CUPs, and variances, in order to squeeze a noisy, property value degrading facility next door to a quiet, single family residential area. Staff Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 1 of 13 25' maintenance building/23' bus garage i n atidout si e spers Transportation Hub will be owned and operated by the School District which is accountable to the residents through the School Board. conditions are met. If the use is able to satisfy all of the conditions and able to demonstrate that any negative impacts can be mitigated, a city cannot simply deny the CUP. Once granted, the conditional use permit remains in effect as long as the use remains in compliance with the conditions. A city can revoke a CUP if conditions of the CUP are not being met. This ensures the ongoing maintenance of the use along with its conditions. • A 12' tall fence requires a variance. Staff response: § 15 5.3 51 (E) Business, industrial and institutional district fences states that fences for industrial uses are limited to eight feet (8') in height "unless otherwise permitted by the City Council." A variance is not required for the proposed 12' fence. An example of a tall fence is located around the Menard's storage yard which is 14' tall. • Bus facilities are primarily located in heavy industrial areas. Staff response: Zoning requirements vary from city to city. Apple Valley approved a conditional use permit for the American Student Transportation bus garage facility at 14800 Everest Avenue in 1988 and an expansion in 1994. This property is zoned I -1 (Limited Industrial) which is the same zoning as the subject property. However, the American Student Transportation site was not immediately adjacent to a residential neighborhood. 2. Location of North Property line — Where is the north property line located? Staff Response: ISD 196 staked out the north property line, the north edge of the curb, and the north building line. • Distance from Scottsbriar homes to their rear property lines: Average 101' • Distance Scottsbriar homes to proposed north parking lot curb: —121' • Distance Scottsbriar home to proposed bus garage building: —187' • A continuous 4' to 6' berm exists along the entire rear property line of the 11 Scottsbriar homes abutting the proposed property. The entire berm is on the residential properties which will help to screen the homes from the property to the south. There is extensive landscaping along the berm for all but two of the properties abutting the project. 3. Building Design and Location — • What color will the building be and are there samples of building materials? Staff Response: The School District is working to address this question. Final colors have not been chosen, but renderings have been prepared that show a proposed earth tone color theme for the development. • Why can't the building be moved to the south side of the property? Staff Response: The site is constrained by a pipeline easement which bisects the middle of the site. All industrial uses would have the same issue. The building is designed to minimize impacts to the neighborhood by keeping the north doors closed in the morning and all buses exiting to the south. • Windows are shown on the north side garage doors. Will neighbors be able to see lights from the buses when the drivers perform their pre -trip safety check? Staff Response: The garage doors are shown to be 12' tall with windows located at Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 2 of 13 approximately 6' high. If an 8' or 12' fence is constructed along the north property line, the lights inside the garage will not be visible to the neighbors. 4. Operations — • Please describe how the facility will operate. Staff Response: Below is a description of a typical day, based on findings from the traffic study and the Transportation Coordinator's plan for the site: • The Transportation Hub will operate primarily during the week with most buses stored during the weekend. Only special event buses would operate during the weekend or a school holiday. • The first mechanic would arrive at 5:15 a.m. and the last mechanic would stay until 8:00 p.m. • All buses will be stored inside the garage and plugged in overnight to reduce the need for excessive idle time to warm up the engines. • The employees begin to arrive at approximately 5:45 a.m. with first buses leaving the site at 6:00 a.m. • Buses leave the site at varying times between 6:00 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. The time the bus leaves is dependent upon the time of the first pick up. The routes are designed to minimize stacking and queuing of buses leaving the site. • Drivers have 15 minutes from check -in time to perform their pre -trip safety check and then leave site. Expected idle time is 5 to 10 minutes maximum. The ventilation system is designed to accommodate all idling and safety checks to be performed inside the garage with the north garage doors closed. • Buses leave the site between 6:00 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. with 18 buses using the Johnny Cake Ridge Road egress and 66 using the south access. • The District previously agreed that the north garage doors would remain closed until 8:00 a.m. Staff is proposing that in order to ensure the best sound mitigation on the site, the north doors remain closed from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. This will ensure the most efficient loading of the garage during peak periods while providing additional sound attenuation during off -peak periods. • Approximately 2/3 of the fleet or 56 buses would return to the site between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. • Bus fueling and washing occurs at varying times, depending upon the schedule and when pumps are available. However, fueling usually occurs after the morning or afternoon return. • A total of 51 buses leave the site between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. for the afternoon bus routes. • A total of 83 buses return in the afternoon between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. with all buses entering the site from the Upper 147 Street access and Evendale access. This is the period that will have the most activity on the north side of the site when all of the buses drive into the garage through the north garage doors. Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 3 of 13 • After 5:00 p.m., only special activity buses are operated. • The last mechanic leaves at 8:00 p.m. • During the summer, approximately 1/3 of the fleet is operated during from 6:45 — 7:30 a.m. and returning by 4:00 p.m. An occasional week there may be buses that return around 4:30 p.m. • Observation of Operation of Other Bus Facilities: Several other bus facilities were observed and they were noisy and operated at all hours. Residents are concerned that this facility will be operated in the same way as the other bus facilities. Photos were presented of bus garages with open doors. • Can a Transportation Hub Facility be operated in a way that does not negatively impact the adjacent neighborhoods? ISD 196 Response: The coordinator of transportation has 28 years of experience operating school bus fleets, including approximately 9 years for the Eden Prairie Public Schools. Eden Prairie's transportation facility served as a model for the district's proposed transportation hub at Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 147th Street. With the coordinator's experience in school bus transportation and familiarity with the design flow at Eden Prairie, the District is confident this new facility will operate in a way that will be seen as a good neighbor. The facility is designed to make operations efficient and minimize impact to neighbors, along with the following strategies: • No fleet storage outside /100% indoors = more noise inside vs. outside • Safety checks and morning start -up all indoors = less noise outdoors • Block heaters and start -up inside • Site designed for continuous flow = less idling /waiting • Only 3 deep parking indoors = minimizing bus jockeying and waiting • Designed to minimize backing up = increased safety /decreased noise • Buildings arranged on site such that it shields operations from neighbors = separation of activities • Separation fence = noise transfer reduction/visual screening • Bus wash and fuel depot furthest away from residences = noise further away, screened by building and fence • Mechanic bays on south side, oriented 90° to neighbors = noise further away, screened by building and fence • Diffused route departure and arrival = less concentrated activity ■ How can the School District assure the neighbors that they will be good neighbors? ISD 196 Response: As a public entity operating 36 sites that are located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods, the district has considerable experience with being a good neighbor. The district is responsive when community complaints are received and takes appropriate action, when needed. Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 4of13 • What can the District do to assure the neighborhood that they will operate differently (than the existing facilities in the Twin Cities Area)? ISD 196 Response: This facility is unique in its design and will be operated in a way that is respectful to the neighboring community. The flow of bus traffic is designed for buses to be driving forward, with minimal backing up in or around the facility. This will minimize idling time and the need for horn honking when backing up. • How will the ventilation in the garage work? Will they really be able to keep the north doors closed during the morning safety check? ISD 196 response: Each bus bay will have exhaust fan systems to pull vehicle exhaust low near the source and ducted up to the roof where a ventilator discharges it into the air. The (7) ventilators will be mounted on the roof on the south side of the storage bay. These are to be sized to handle start up exhaust with the north doors closed. Cut sheets of the ventilation system are included in the staff report. • How helpful is a telephone number? It will probably ring and never be answered. Staff response: One of the suggested conditions for the project would be that the School District establish a contact person and phone number that the neighbors could call if there are issues at the facility. The contact person would be accountable to the School District Superintendent and the School Board. The School Board is accountable to the electorate. 5. Noise • Noise study findings: o The biggest noise impact will occur in the afternoon when all 84 buses return to the site between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. o With the access on Johnny Cake revised to be an exit only, all 84 buses will need to enter the site from either the Upper 147 Street West or Evendale Way. The noise study confirms that this location will not exceed MPCA daytime noise limit requirements. o A 12' fence is recommended along the north property line to provide the most sound attenuation. o Noise study recommendation is that either an 8' or 12' tall fence should be constructed along the north property line, air handling units should be installed on the south side of the garage, and the north doors should remain closed till a minimum of 7:00 a.m. The School District has agreed to leave the north doors closed until after 8:00 a.m. • Will the buses have back up alarms? Staff Response: No. The School District confirmed none of the buses will have backup alarms. The District states that the proposed hub facility is specifically designed to avoid the need to back up. The District states, even at the maintenance bays, there should be no need for backing. • The maintenance facility will have air tools. How will the air tools impact the neighborhood? Staff Response: The noise consultant reviewed the possible impacts from air tools and found, because the maintenance bay doors are aligned east and Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 5 of 13 west, the only way sound from the wrenches might reach the homes to the north would be in the case if the sound exits the east door, reflects off a bus parked in the garage, with the north and south doors open. • The pre -trip safety check involves a single honk of the horn. How will 84 buses honking their horn in the morning be screened? Noise Consultant Response: The garage doors are specified to be constructed of an inside and outside layer of 25 gage steel with 2" polystyrene between for insulation. When the doors are closed they will reduce noise levels by 28 dBA. The fence also mitigates noise emanating from the inside start -up. • Noise study scale charts start at 40, not at zero. Information presented to Planning Commission is misleading — it's "zoomed in" to magnify noise abatement. Staff response: There was no intention on the part of the noise consultant to mislead. The initial noise study findings provided in the May 20, 2015, Planning Commission staff report starts at zero. The issue is that it's difficult to differentiate the findings at the 0 to 65 level. Starting the chart at 40 allows for easier analysis of the impact of the data. • Noise study talks about dBAs, but not hertz. What about hertz? Staff response: Hertz is a measurement of the number of sound vibrations in one second. The lowest A key on the piano is 27 Hz (or 27 cycles per second) while the highest key on the piano is 4,186 Hz. The MPCA noise regulations measure noise based on decibel level, which is the pressure of sound, not hertz or the pitch of sound. Noise Consultant response: Our simulation modeling used spectral data for predictions. The more detailed modeling based on the MinnNoise model uses only dBA levels. The MPCA noise standards are only in dBA and make no reference to frequency spectra. The chart below compares predicted NO FENCE levels with the measured ambient spectrum. This really does not show anything about impact that is any different than the dBA level results since the bus and ambient spectra have very similar shapes, so I don't think the spectral data will provide any additional information on potential impacts. 6. North Screening Fence: • What is the color of the fence? Staff response: This is a level of detail that will be decided upon with the final landscape plan submitted at the time of application for the building permit. A neutral color similar to the building exterior is intended. • Can the fence be installed first, before project construction to help lessen impacts to the neighborhood during construction? Staff response: The fence cannot be installed prior to the site grading, but installing it early in the project could be considered. • Lot 11 would not want an abrupt 12 ft. end to fence, rather a stepping down. Is this possible? Staff response: The School District is open to negotiating some of these finer points if the project moves forward. • Increasing the height of the fence by 50% does not improve its efficacy — only 2 to 3 dBA additional noise abatement achieved. Does that mean the fence material is a poor material? Staff response: The School District indicates the height of the fence changes the level of noise attenuation and not the material. The noise consultant will discuss this in more detail. Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 6 of 13 • Details regarding the fence have changed frequently. The homeowners are becoming frustrated, but the approval process is continuing. Staff response: Plans have been modified during the review and discussion of the project to address the issues raised during the public hearings. The earliest plans showed the fence in a straight line with landscaping on the south side of the wall. By constructing an articulated fence, and placing the fence a minimum of eight feet from the north property line, the District is able to break up the appearance of the fence, preserve some of the existing mature trees on the proposed hub property and place landscaping on both sides of the fence. • The north fence planting plan needs a key to better differentiate existing trees, deciduous and conifers added. Staff response: Staff suggests a condition of approval would be final review and approval of the fence location and planting plan shall be approved by the Planner. This will allow for the neighbors to review the planting template and provide their feedback for each individual property. 7. Light — What light will be located on the north side of site? Staff Response: A combination of pole lighting and wall packs will be installed to light the north side of the building. The nearest pole light is 23' and located about 75' south of the north property line on the northwest edge of the site. Seven wall pack lights are shown along the north side of the garage installed 16' high. The light plan shows that light levels will be at 0.0 footcandles along most of the north property line, well below the maximum 0.5 foot candles allowed. On the northwest area of the site where the pole light is located, light levels are shown at 0.1 footcandles, still well below the requirements. The lighting will be required to be downcast shoe box fixtures that block the view of the light sources. 8. Pollution/Wind directions- • What are prevailing wind directions? Will winds blow from south to north to Scottsbriar? Or to east to Mistwood? Staff Response: During the school year, prevailing winds are from the northwest while in the summer, when the facility will not experience heavy use, the winds will blow from the southeast. Attached is a chart of prevailing winds in Minneapolis /St. Paul. • MPCA Air Quality Requirements: Staff response: Mr. Innocent Eyoh, Planning Principal, Air Assessment of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) found that the MPCA air emissions requirements will not be exceeded with this project. However, he recommended the following measures to ensure the best air quality on the site: Good bus maintenance program to control emissions, vehicle replacement program that replaces older buses with newer cleaner models, use of engine block heaters to reduce idle time, and use of cleaner fuels. • During the cold weather months, buses will be plugged in to reduce idling. • All buses have been brought up to 2004 diesel air quality standards. New air quality standards were adopted in 2007 and 2010. By 2016, only six buses will be in the fleet constructed to the 2004 standards. As buses are replaced, new buses comply with the most recent air quality requirements and are a quieter design. 9. Traffic & Traffic Study — Engineerinz Staff Response: Engineering is working closely with City's Traffic Consultant to review the School District's findings as well as Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 7 of 13 incorporate ISD 196's development proposal into the future plans to the adjacent public streets (JCRR and 147 The most recent updated plans received from ISD 196 included changes to the site plan including removing the right -in right -out (RIRO) to JCRR and replacing with a right-out (RO) only. This access was moved north as recommended by staff to meet site distance and functional area requirements from 147 Additional modification to access detail is still being requested to prevent unauthorized left turn movements or right turns into ISD 196 site from JCRR. The access off of Upper 147 Street West may need to be modified and is still under review and it will be important to ensure this would not negatively impact Uponor's north driveway as well as accommodate future plans for JCRR and 147 which could include traffic signal and additional lane capacity on JCRR. • Traffic study doesn't account for transportation hub expansion plans. Engineering Response: The City requested that ISD 196 provide a 10 year analysis as part of Traffic Impact Report to include impacts from potential expansion of facility. Planning Staff Response: Jeff Solomon, Finance Director of Finance and Operations stated that future growth in the School District is expected to occur primarily in Rosemount. While room on the site has been identified for future growth of the facility, the District does not have imminent plans for expansion. Although not stated by Mr. Solomon, the Rosemount Bus Storage Facility will be retained which may better serve growth on the east side of ISD 196. • Is traffic study accurate if it does not include traffic from water park and ball fields which are busy in the summer time? Enjineerinj Response: A typical traffic study does not evaluate event and special conditions analysis as they tend to be random and not indicative of usual weekday traffic when most mitigation is needed. It is understood that this traffic does create issues during the non - winter months in the PM peak hours. The traffic increase from the ISD 196 Transportation Hub would not be anticipated to impact the PM peak hour significantly as shown by the study. This modification results in no additional volume utilizing the access. During the summer, about 1/3 of the buses operate from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Summer hours not as early and not as late as school year. • Moving JCRR access north makes traffic impacts worse on neighborhood. Enjineerinj Response: The access at JCRR has been modified from a RIRO to a RO only and moved north an adequate distance to provide proper site distance and functional area from 147 and would still meet the sight distance and functional area needs at 144 There is approximately 820 feet between 147 and 144 The access was moved to approximately 350 feet north of 147 • Study limited in scope. Engineerinj Response: A traffic study is limited to AM and PM peak hours during a typical weekday as that is when most traffic issues arise and may need to be mitigated. Evaluation of other adjacent streets with the traffic increase from this specific development would not be anticipated to change Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 8 of 13 the current service levels at other intersections nearby due to the traffic dispersion to the roadway network. • When ISD 196 Transportation Hub traffic is off-peak, actually ends up extending peak traffic period from one hour to two hours. Engineerinj Response: The peaking characteristics of traffic in an area are generally not due to one development. The traffic analysis provided does not indicate an extension of peak hours more than currently understood to be in the area. • Traffic study needs to account for Uponor expansion. Engineering Response: It is important to the City that Uponor operations are not impacted by District 196 operations. Uponor will run two 12 hour factory shifts each day, 7 days a week changing over at 6:00 am and 6:00 pm and should be included in the overall study for JCRR and 147 Existing volumes from Uponor have been included in study. Uponor also has access off Everest. • Europa may act as a cut through street. Engineerinj Response: Public streets are available for all public traffic to use. It is generally understood that buses will follow routes and use the collector and arterial roadways to travel. It is not anticipated that this would cause additional traffic growth of Europa. It is also understood that employees may use any street they wish, but would likely access the development from 147 off JCRR or Pilot Knob Road. • Drivers turning right (east) on 144 Street from northbound Johnny Cake Ridge Road don't have a right turn lane which is a concern. Enjineerinj Staff Response: When the city reviews long term improvements to the entire JCRR corridor, additional turn lane requirements will be reviewed at all intersections including 144 • When will traffic warrants be met for 147 and Johnny Cake signalization? There are long waits for Scottsbriar residents to enter Johnny Cake traffic already. Engineerinj Staff Response: The most recent traffic data for 2015 collected as part of the Traffic Impact Study indicates that a traffic signal is likely justified at the intersection based on the traffic signal warrants outlined in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) meeting Warrant 2: Four Hour Volumes. This is due to growth on the roadway from the development area just west of JCRR and overall traffic growth in the area. The traffic from the Transportation Hub does not raise the level of Warrant 2 but does increase the number of hours met under Warrant 1: Eight Hour Volumes. The signal warrant analysis indicates that a signal would be an appropriate traffic control for the intersection based on current volumes but analysis with acceptable service levels indicates that the intersection can currently function without a signal. Given the current operation is adequate, it is recommended that the intersection be monitored regularly for operations until such a time that service levels require a change in intersection control. • Clearly explain how traffic at 142 and Johnny Cake and 147 and Pilot Knob will be affected. These intersection movements away from the site also affect the neighborhood and the responses have not been as clear and deliberate. En.ineerinj Staff Response: The attached TIS memo shows the impacts to the adjacent roadways in relation to the % change in AADT. The impacts to 142 Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 9 of 13 and 144 are anticipated to be negligible. At 147 and Pilot Knob, Pilot Knob is a minor arterial divided highway and falls under the jurisdiction of Dakota County and their access spacing requirements. The access spacing for this area of Pilot Knob is 1 /4 mile, but generally the County will complete an access study on a roadway to determine signal spacing (which to our knowledge has not been completed to date for this area north of County Road 42). We do not anticipate from the data that 147 will have enough 8 hour volume to meet the warrants for a signal at 147 and Pilot Knob. • Traffic study only focused on one intersection at Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147 Street. The intersections at U. 147 and Pilot Knob Road, Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 142 Street, are also concerns. Engineering Staff Response: See response to item b. above. • Traffic study supplied by ISD 196 does not include "shuffling" of buses within the site. While observing other facilities, noted that this occurs often. Engineering Staff Response: A Traffic Impact Study typically focuses on impacts to public roadways and not internal site circulation, however a review of the internal site circulation was conducted to determine if the circulation patterns would have any effect on the public roadway system. The location of the filling stations and the bus wash are highly dictated by the location of the gas line through the site. This appears to result in traffic having to use upper 147 to be able to fuel and then circle around to get a wash or vice - versa. Consequently, Upper 147 street would be serving site circulation needs and the submitted site plan has been requested to be mitigated by the School District to address this potential scenario. • Neighbor has child with autism and is concerned that this project will create backed up traffic which will lead to traffic cutting through the neighborhood. Doesn't want cut - through traffic on Everest Avenue. En ineering Staff Response: It is not anticipated that buses will utilize 144 /Everest Avenue. Buses typically are directed to utilize collector /arterial roads to the extent possible on routes to pick up areas. Should this problem occur, the school district can be contacted and informed to change the bus routes if cut - through traffic should occur. 10. Property Values — • This facility will reduce my property value. Staff Response: Property values are determined by a complex set of variables that are difficult to attribute to a single adjacent land use. Instead, property values are impacted by overall City development patterns. Residential properties adjacent to other industrially zoned properties in the City have not experienced a decline in property values. The Transportation Hub facility would be required to be constructed and maintained in compliance with the City's exterior design requirements, zoning and subdivision codes and State Building Code requirements. It can be said, some buyers may recognize a value impact and others will not. A well maintained and managed bus facility should have little impact on property values. Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 10 of 13 • Examples staff gave of residential developments next to industrial areas are not the same as the proposed ISD 196 Transportation Hub. None are directly adjacent and it's not a bus facility. Staff response: The City has examples of residential properties immediately abutting a bus facility on Diamond Path. In addition, Cedar Isle Estates immediately abuts the City's Central Maintenance Facility which is used for the storage and maintenance of the City's street and utility maintenance vehicles, maintenance equipment and snow plows. The Transportation Hub facility would be required to be constructed and maintained in compliance with the City's exterior design requirements, zoning and subdivision codes and State Building Code requirements. A well maintained and managed bus facility should have little impact on property values. 11. Site Selection — • Why was this parcel selected when other properties are vacant with same zoning but not adjacent to residential? • What was the list of properties evaluated by ISD 196 for this facility? • The transportation hub is not a good fit at this location. There are numerous better options available. The Homeowners have provided a number of alternatives the School District should consider. • The neighborhood wants ISD 196 to provide actual disclosure of the locations that they explored. The neighborhood wants ISD 196 to repeat its search. • Letter from Jeff Solomon is disappointing /insufficient. He doesn't elaborate on how the site was selected. Who was the real estate guy? ISD 196 Response: Jeff Solomon, Director of Finance and Operations provided spreadsheet showing the 14 parcels that were considered for this project along with the District's analysis of the properties. Mr. Ted Carlson, with Carlson Commercial, addressed the Planning Commission at its July 15, 2015, meeting. Mr. Solomon's letter addressed the site selection question as follows: The district used a real estate professional to assist in conducting a thorough search of available real estate for the transportation hub. Fourteen sites were reviewed, seven in Eagan and seven in Apple Valley, based on the following criteria: appropriate zoning, adequate size, availability for purchase by the time an offer could be made, functionality, for operations, site cost, development costs, and proximity to serve as a hub location for the west side of the district for the foreseeable future. Fewer than half of the sites met the size criteria and two others were already under contract when the review was conducted. Of the sites that remained, the other criteria clearly identified the proposed site as the most feasible location for the transportation hub facility. 12. Frustrated with Review Process • Homeowners frustrated at procedure being applied to the transportation hub project. Staff response: The City is required by State Law to review and decide upon land use applications within a 120 days. The planning review process is the standard process the Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 11 of 13 City engages in to review any land use application. Frustration can result from not being aware of the process or feeling like issues are not being addressed. City staff is available to answer any questions concerning the review process. • Two public hearings were held and closed prior to receiving information on all issues regarding noise, property values and screening. Staff response: The purpose of the public hearing is to receive all of the concerns and issues from adjacent property owners and the public. It is not intended to be a debate, but a forum for receiving comments. The City staff and applicant then are charged with providing answers to the questions that have been raised. • The Planning Commission closed the public hearing. Property values were addressed by the School District, but neighbors were denied the opportunity to counter ISD 196's claims. Staff response: As noted above, the purpose of the public hearing is to receive comments and identify issues. It is not a forum for debate. • The City is not providing advocacy on behalf of the neighborhood in accordance with the City's core values. Neighborhood would like the City to provide an advocate to help residents to understand the process. Staff response: The City is available to talk with residents who have questions concerning the review process. This was demonstrated by a meeting held with neighborhood representatives on July 2 and with Scottsbriar neighbors abutting the facility on July 6. The City's role is to not be an advocate for either the petitioner or the adjacent property owner, but to identify issues and ensure the issues are addressed in the process. The outcome provides informed decision making. • The data that has been presented by the City gives the impression that the City is endorsing the project. Staff response: The City is not endorsing the project. The Planning Commission will review the request and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will make the final decision concerning the application. • Details regarding the facility have changed frequently. The only time neighbors see changes is in the Planning Commission packets. Staff response: As the project is reviewed and discussed, elements of the project are refined to address issues. This is a typical part of the planning review process. • Un- confirmed reports surfacing that not all of the affected (adjacent) property owners are aware of the proceedings. Neighbors would like the City to confirm that all neighbors have been notified. We have not heard from Lifeworks, but they will be affected by increased traffic. Staff response: A total of 34 public hearing notices were sent out to the property owners within 350' of the proposed property. Staff confirmed that the 11 properties adjacent to the proposed site were notified of the meeting. In addition, Lifeworks received a public hearing notice. The School District met with Lifeworks and negotiated additional landscaping on the east side of the site to help screen the transportation hub from the Lifeworks site. • The neighborhood wants the City to not allow the School District to "force" this project through approval process. Staff response: The School District has been cooperative and open to discussing the project with concerned residents. • The neighborhood doesn't want the City to take action on these items until all of the outstanding issues have been addressed. Staff response: The Planning Commission will not make a recommendation on a project until all of the outstanding issues have been Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 12 of 13 adequately addressed. At the same time, the Commission must keep in mind the time frame for review of the project must be followed as required by State Law. • Printed up hard copy of staff report. Not available until Friday. Staff response: The City's Planning calendar is set at the beginning of the year and is established to ensure timely review and consideration of land use requests. Planning Commission staff reports are completed the Friday preceding the Planning Commission meeting. Calendar deadlines are tight to ensure the City reviews and acts upon development projects within 60 and 120 days as required by State Statutes 15.99. 13. Petition • Neighbors have discussed the proposed Transportation Hub Facility with 110 residents and received 108 signatures on a petition asking City to deny the requested project. Staff response: The petition indicates resident interest in the project which the Planning Commission and City Council take seriously. However, the land use request must be processed in accordance with State Law and the City ordinances. • Names have been added to the resident petition. Staff response: A copy of the petition is included in the staff report. 14. Misc. • City established trash hauling zones to help reduce the number of large commercial vehicles in neighborhoods seven days a week. This facility would be contrary to the City's previous action. Staff response: The trash hauling zones were established to limit the number of days that trash vehicles service a neighborhood. No other service vehicles were restricted. The Assistant City Engineer addresses the issue of bus traffic on the local streets. Public Hearing and Neighborhood Meeting Comments Page 13 of 13 '�;' >.'

Anderson, Asst. City Engineer DATE: June 12, 2015 SUBJECT: ISD 196 Transportation Hub Facility Review Kathy, The following are comments regarding the ISD Transportation Hub Facility Revised site plan dated June 10, 2015. Please include these items as conditions to approval. General * Vacation of portion of Evendale Way Right-of way on applicant property shall be provided as part of plat approval (generally north of Magellan Easement). * Portions of existing drainage and utility easements along Evendale way shall be vacated to accommodate additional ROW required for Cul-de-Sac. • A 10-foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated on final plat behind Evendale Way in Outlot A. • Cul-de-sac at Evendale way shall be constructed to City standards. • All work and infrastructure within public easements or right of way shall be to City standards. • A pre-construction meeting shall be held prior to beginning any work on the site. • No trees will be permitted in public easements. Additional review of landscaping along the eastern property line where the future well is planned should be addressed. Landscaping may be required to be relocated to Outlot A at existing storm water pond • Easements are required for future well water main and site location. Please show easements on site plan as indicated in attached sketch for future well location. Permits Provide a copy of the executed Encroachment Agreement with Magellan Pipeline for work occurring within easement area as indicated on plans. • Provide a copy of the executed Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Met Council, Department of Labor and any other required permits. • A right of way permit will be required for all work within public easements or right of way. • A Natural Resource Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land disturbing activity commences. MEMO Public Works Site • The revised RO driveway access to Johnny Cake Ridge Road shall be additionally modified to include a "pork chop island" to prevent unauthorized right turns in and left turns out of the site at this location. • Please review the location of curb island south of maintenance bay as it appears that buses will have a difficult time maneuvering from site to RO at JCRR. It appears the curb island should be shifted north to better align drive access with RO at JCRR. • Provide update to site traffic study including a 10-year analysis for potential expansion for City Engineer Review. • Provide additional dimensions on site plan indicating radiuses, drive lane widths, etc... • Provide additional drawing showing Auto turn bus turning movements to verify site circulation and layout requirements for planned bus vehicle usage to be used by ISD. Please indicate entrance to bus wash as circulation indicates additional bus movements from fuel island and bus wash onto 147 and back around Evendale into garage as internal circulation doesn't appear to allow buses to turn around without backing up. • A commercial driveway entrance is required at all access points to public roadways per AV Plate No. STR-4 or STR-5. • Provide pedestrian curb ramp per STR-10 at bituminous path along Johnny Cake Ridge Road access point. • Provide pedestrian curb ramp at proposed "pork chop" channelization island to accommodate bituminous path along Johnny Cake Ridge Road. • Remove existing driveway access point at NW corner along Johnny Cake Ridge Road and patch curb and gutter to match section at Johnny Cake Ridge Road. • Provide concrete valley gutter per STR-11detail with the design of Evendale Way cul-de- sac. • Site Plan should show future expansion of bus storage facility layout to the east to be able to coordinate exact location of future well site and utility and easement requirements. Grading. Drainage and Erosion Control • Provide drainage report and storm sewer calculations for proposed improvements. • The applicant shall submit a copy of the General Storm Water Permit approval from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency pursuant to Minnesota Rules 7100.1000 — 7100.1100 regarding the state NPDES Permit prior to commencement of grading activity. • Erosion control measures shall be installed prior to beginning grading operations. • A construction entrance shall be provided at all proposed entrances to be utilized for erosion control purposes. • Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site. • Additional storm drain inlets are required on Sediment and Erosion Control Plan C1.61 for existing storm drain inlets within Evendale Way and 147 Street. • The location and elevation of the site emergency overflow(s) (EOF) shall be identified on the plans.

No 152010 Subject: Independent School District #196 Transportation Hub Inquiries memorandum City Question: Can a Transportation Hub Facility be operated in a way that does not negatively impact the adjacent neighborhoods? District Answer: The coordinator of transportation has 28 years of experience operating school bus fleets, including approximately 9 years for the Eden Prairie Public Schools, Eden Prairie's transportation facility served as a model for the district's proposed transportation hub at Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 147th Street, With the coordinator's experience in school bus transportation and familiarity with the design flow at Eden Prairie, the District is confident this new facility will operate in a way that will be seen as a good neighbor. The facility is designed to make operations efficient and minimize impact to neighbors, along with the following strategies: • No fleet storage outside/100% indoors = more noise inside vs. outside • Safety checks and morning start-up all indoors = less noise outdoors • Block heaters and start-up inside • Site designed for continuous flow= less idling/waiting • Only 3 deep parking indoors = minimizing bus jockeying and waiting • Designed to minimize backing up= increased safety/decreased noise • Buildings arranged on site such that it shields operations from neighbors = separation of activities • Separation fence = noise transfer reduction/visual screening • Bus wash and fuel depot furthest away from residences = noise further away, screened by building and fence • Mechanic bays on south side, oriented 90° to neighbors = noise further away, screened by building and fence • Diffused route departure and arrival = less concentrated activity City Question: Now can the School District assure the neighbors that they will be good neighbors? District Answer: As a public entity operating 36 sites that are located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods, the district is very conditioned to be a good neighbor. The district is responsive when community complaints are received and takes appropriate action, when needed. City Question: What can the District do to assure the neighborhood that they will operate differently (than the existing facilities in the Twin Cities Area)? District Answer: This facility is unique in its design and will be operated in a way that is respectful to the neighboring community. The flow of bus traffic is designed for buses to be driving forward, with minimal backing up in or around the facility. This will minimize idling time and the need for horn honking when backing up. City Question: Now many buses will have back-up alarms? Will all 35 of the small buses? District Answer: None of the buses will have back-up alarms. City Question: Now will ventilation be handled in the garage? Will the District really be able to start the buses with the north doors closes? Consultant Answer: Each bus bay will have exhaust fan systems to pull vehicle exhaust low near the source and ducted up to the roof where a ventilator discharges it into the air. The (7) ventilators will be mounted on the roof on the south side of the storage bay. These are to be sized to handle start up exhaust with the north doors closed, designers and researchers for public environments architects engineers www.woldae.com Minnesota Illinois Michigan Colorado Iowa Memorandum to Kathy Bodmer, City of Apple Valley Page Two City Question: Will the garage doors really block the noise? Consultant Answer: The garage doors are specified to be insulated. According to the District's consultant David Bras lau, when closed they will likely reduce noise levels by 28 dBA. The fence also mitigates noise emanating from the inside start-up. City Question: Noise study discusses, dBA's but not hertz. What about Hertz? Do MPCA noise regulations address Hertz? Consultant Answer: Our simulation modeling used spectral data for predictions. The more detailed modeling based on the MinnNoise model uses only dBA levels. The MPCA noise standards are only in dBA and make no reference to frequency spectra. The chart below compares predicted NO FENCE levels with the measured ambient spectrum. This really does not show anything about impact that is any different than the dBA level results since the bus and ambient spectra have very similar shapes. So I don't think the spectral data will provide any additional information on potential impacts. rrapciled kw twice Law.

Solomon Director of Finance and Operations 651-423-7713 651-423-7788 (fax) jeff.solomon@district196.org This letter is in response to two questions the Planning Commission received at the city's May 20 public hearing regarding the school district's plan to develop a transportation hub facility on the northeast corner ofJohnny Cake Ridge Road and 147 Street, Please present these as the district's official responses. L Why was this site selected in the search that was undertaken? The district used a real estate professional to assist in conducting a thorough search of available real estate for the transportation hub. Fourteen sites were reviewed, seven in Eagan and seven in Apple Valley, based on the following criteria: appropriate zoning, adequate size, availability for purchase by the time an offer could be made, functionality for operations, site cost, development costs, and proximity to serve as a hub location for the west side of the district for the foreseeable future. Fewer than half of the sites met the size criteria and two others were already under contract when the review was conducted. Of the sites that remained, the other criteria clearly identified the proposed site as the most feasible location for the transportation hub facility, 2. We see "expansion a on some of the plans. What does that mean? The plans recognize that it would be physically possible in the future to grow the length of the proposed building to the east by approximately 25 percent, Forecasting any such future expansion recognizes that growth on the district's east side is projected to continue for several years and that existing routes currently served by buses at the district's transportation facility in Rosemount may or may not become better served at the proposed transportation hub in Apple Valley, Any future change to the hub facility in Apple Valley would require an updated conditional use permit, notification of the neighborhood and involvement in the city's development approval process. Please feel free to contact me with further questions. Sincerely, 74 Jeffrey M.

Which provides better noise attenuation, wood or masonry wall? What is the difference? Wouldn't a masonry \Aral I be better? A solid wood fence with 3/4" thickness will provide more than enough attenuation to reduce sound through the fence. For structural stability and other factors, noise barriers in Minnesota are usually constructed with 1-1/2" wood panels which are being proposed here. The height of the fence determines the effectiveness of the fence, not the material of the wall itself, since sound waves will "leak" over the top of the wall (see the simplified sketch below). While a masonry wall can attenuate more sound energy through the wall itself, it will be no better than a wood fence for stopping sound from traveling over the top of the wall. b. What about noise screening for properties to the east? How will noise impact them? [Can David estimate noise to the east?] The closet home to the east is about 700 feet from the nearest bus path along the east side of the garage, while the homes to the north are about 150 feet from the nearest bus path. Therefore, the maximum expected level at the homes east will be about 14 dBA lower than at the homes to the north assuming no barrier. The maximum expected level at the hones east of the hub is about 42 dBA which was the previously monitored ambient sound level. Fence Effectiveness Question c. Increasing the height of the fence by 50% does not improve its efficacy — only 2 to 3 dBA additional noise abatement achieved. Does that mean the fence material is a poor material? The effectiveness of the wall is not determined by the wall material but by the height of the wall, assuming that the wall material is heavy enough (such as 3/4" plywood) to stop noise from going through the wall itself. The sound level for a very long wall, with the bus spectrum, will drop about 2 dBA for each 4 feet increase in the wall height up to about 16 feet after which the benefit decreases with height. 0 c:\users\kbodmer\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.outlook\13mcg241\responses-to-questions-from- 0708.doc Eden Prairie Bus Storage Facility Maintenance Garage Eden Prairie Bus Storage Facility Bus Storage Garage Performance Requested Volume (CFM) 12,220 Actual Volume (CFM) 12,220 External SP (in. wg) 0.5 Total SP (in. wg) 0.5 Fan RPM 585 Operating Power (hp) 3.01 Elevation (ft) 837 Airstream Temp.(F) 70 Air Density (ft3) 0.073 Drive Loss ( %) 4.4 Tip Speed (ft/min) 5,518 Static Eff.

Thank you for the opportunity given to review the document. These are our comments: Air Quality Assessment Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 520 Lafayette Road North I St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-4194 1 651-296-6300 800-657-3864 I 651-282-5332 TTY I www.pca.state.mn.us 1 Equal Opportunity Employer Cal3QHC traffic dispersion model was used to estimate concentrations of gaseous pollutants. Particulate matter emissions (PM10 and PM2.5) were estimated at a typical home 130 feet from the traveling buses using a simple point-source atmospheric dispersion mode. The resulting concentrations were compared to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). All the predicted pollutant concentrations from the peak hour for arriving buses were well below standards. In terms of the pollutant concentrations, it is really unlikely that the site would create any exceedance of the air quality standards. There will be a spike in emissions in the morning, and a smaller spike in the afternoon (due to warmer temperatures), as buses leave and then return from their routes. Since PM concentrations are averaged over 24 hours, and annual in the case of PM2.5, I would not expect these relatively short spikes in emissions to cause a violation of the standards judging the size of the bus fleet. There are no NAAQS for diesel particulate emissions (DPM), but EPA has determined that PM2.5 NAAQS are protective of DPM health effects. I definitely wouldn't expect any impacts related to the NO2 NAAQS either. Therefore, based on this analysis, no significant air quality impacts are expected to be associated with the planned transportation Hub facility. I do, however, have some recommendations that could help the buses operate more efficiently: • Good Maintenance - Proper engine maintenance is necessary for optimum fuel economy and extended life as well as to control emissions • Vehicle Replacement - Replacing old buses with new cleaner model can substantially reduce emissions and fuel consumption • Retrofit Technologies - Install diesel retrofit devices with verified technologies Ms. Kathy Bodmer Page 2 June 12, 2015 The NAAQS table that was included on Page 22 of the report needs to be changed and updated. Please find the most recently updated version from EPA (http://www.epa.goviairicriteria.html). Noise Assessment A noise assessment was also conducted for the project. Predicted sound levels conducted for comparison to the daytime L10 standard were well below the level of the standard. The report did not include prediction of L50 levels for comparison to the L50 standard. While I expect that the L50 levels would be similar to those predicted for the L10, based on the nature of the noise an hour or so of buses coming and going with some regularity), and therefore likely below the level of the standard, I would recommend that the L50 noise level predictions be provided for better comparison to the L50 standard. I also agree with the recommendation that to minimize any noise impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood, a fence should be constructed along the north property line. Additionally, garage doors should be closed when most buses depart in the morning.

Sin erely, 1 noc nt Eyoh Planner Principal Air Assessment Section Environmental Analysis and Outcomes Division lE/AIS:je ® Operational Strategies and Idle Reduction - I would recommend using block heaters so that drivers can just start the buses and leave, instead of idling for a long period of time. The cost of the block heaters would be offset by savings in fuel from idling over a relatively short period O Cleaner Fuels - Using cleaner fuels including natural gas and propane if available would help reduce emissions. cc: Shannon Lotthammer, MPCA Frank Kohlasch, MPCA Mary Jean Fenske, MPCA Amanda Jarrett Smith, MPCA Melissa Kuskie, MPCA Michael Nelson, MPCA The intent of this letter is to provide feedback regarding Fencing details, if the proposal to Fencing receives recommendation from the Ptanning Committee, and official approva( for development from the City Council. **This letter DOE5 NOT IMPLY "Resign ted Consent" In fact, this letter is quite the opposite. There continues to beun-resolvable issues related to the proposed facility.. 1) (NOISE) By the Petitioner s own data, the fencing materiaf (wood) has been sho n to be inadequate in blocking Noise from normal operations of the proposed facility. a. For aU heights, the amount of noise attenuated is LESS THAN the amount of noise newly-imposed upon the residents b. Increasing the height of the fence (by 50%) (8' to 12') does not provide additional noise attenuation. This clearly demonstrates that the material is "ma//d out", and is no longer providing buffering from noise. c. The Petitioner claims other materials are identical in attenuation abilities. Ho ever, data for other materials was never made avaitable for review (or available as alternative). 2) (NOISE) the Petitioner's own noise data is compfetely inadequate... a. It is based upon calculated (not actual) values of a bus engine. b. It does not account for Back-Up Beeping c. It does not account for Honking during Entries/Exits. d. It does not account for Honking during required/Daily safety checks. 3) (NOISE) The Petitioner has not provided even the most basic Reasonable accounting of variations from their proposed usage of the facility (introduced by normal daily operation). These variations will further impose noisy conditions upon the homeowners. a. North doors to remain closed. Yet, it is obvious that doors will be opened to aflow wind to evacuate nauseous Exhaust and Heat generated by 85 busses trapped inside an enclosed space. b. South doors only used for exiting facility. Yet if the First or Second bus falis to start, the North door will need to be opened. There is NOTHING in writing that can be used to enforce the promise that busses will exit to the south. 4) (VISUAL) By the Petitioner's own data, the fencing height option of 8' provides no visual screening from the busses (the district stated that busses are 11'6" tall). 5) (VISUAL) By the Petitioner's own data, the fencing height option of 12' provides barely provides adequate visual screening from the busses. The tops of the busses (fog strobes and emergency exits) were not accounted for in their proposal, and impose additional height to each bus. Even with a 12' fence, only 6 inches remains for marginof-error Resident Correspondence July 10, 2015 1 of 5 G)(VI5UAU The pet tioner's usage of 6-8" tall trees to al eviate unaesthetic qualities of the fence falls short. The fence is nea twice as tall. Homeowners find tiving next to "The Great\NaUofApp|eVaUey"tobedistastefu|. 7) (VISUAL) Few other 12' fences (possibfy none) have been imposed upon other res of Apple Valley. The only two examples 1 found are the backside of the Menard's buliding (Lumber Yard), and the housing located across Cedar Ave from Cub Foods. That being said, this letter is to provide input to the City if such a Noisy facility were to be situated next to myself. Without rovid the only option is to require alt of the following Screening requirements... 1) Ferice that is 12' tall and fully-opaque (hav no gaps that allow visibility on the other sde). 2) Located as far away from the property line as possible without regarding to curb/buildings located behind the facility. This is to allow for full-canopy development of all trees. 3) Composed ofa material that reduces MORE noise than is allowed to escape. 4) Hidden from view by providing no less than eight additional trees (per homeowne ). These trees shall be placed on the North side of the fence, and primarily-situated on the Petitioner's land. If space does not permit for reasonable growth of alt eight trees, the extra trees are made available for the homeowner to place upon their land. For example: if only 5 trees fit on petitioner's land, then 3 trees shall be donated to the homeowner. For such "donated trees", all costs at the initial time of planting (and for a warranty period of 2 years after initial planting if replacements are required) shall be assumed by the district. 5) All current and future costs associated with trees/sod located on the Petitioner's land shall be solely paid-for and incurred by the Petitioner. 6) Choice of species for all trees shall be left to the homeowner's sole discretion prior to any current/future plantings. Cost shaU not be a limiting factor in the choice of trees selected. Homeowners reserve the right to select any combination of species. Homeowners reserve the right to change species at any future dates should a tree fail to thrive (see Dead/Dying). 7) Require that all permanent vegetation be maintained, and kept in present working order. a. Dead/dying trees located on the Petitioner's land shall be immediately-replaced without regard to cost at the request of the Homeowner's. Determination that a tree is dead/dying shall be supplied by the homeowner (and based upon expertise of any persons employed by a landscaping business, or a qualified arborist, or by obvious observation). The Request must be supplied by the homeowner in either writing or email to the current Transportation Hub Director, who must personally oversee the dead/dying tree's replacement. b. Grass (sod) must be mowed at a rninimum of once per week. 8) Written/Signed documentation effectuating all rights/requirements must be given to each homeowner prior to any development or planting. All homeowner rights are transferrable in the event of any transfer of title.

Thanks for the direct feedback. I can understand how you might conclude that he result is a foregone condusion. 1 might add though that the process we are required to follow takes weeks of issue dentification and information exchange and might appear to only have one conclusion. The findings of fact developed by staff during the process are the basis for a decision and, when shared, becomes the responsibility of the Planning Commission to evaluate and make a recommendation to the City Council for their consideration. Being responsible for this process, I wanted to mention that state statute is clear that if we fail to act as described above and within a specified timeline, only then, is there one conclusion rendered. Only then is the District application automatically approved to their benefit. Your input on the fence helps us, and the Planning Comrnission, make a more informed decision.

As you know, we are concerned about the proposed ISD 196 bus facility proposed for our backyard. We fee that our concerns are all minimized and the result is a foregone conclusion. We do appreciate the opportunity to meet with the school district concerning the proposed fence. We both would want a 12 foot fence articulated or not but with evergreen plantings inside, as well as out and staggered so that there are no gaps.

Neighbors are encouraging the 12 ft. approach. I've heard from three neighbors this morning, and two additional and specific discussions at last Monday's meeting, in support of 12 ft. I also wanted you to know the feedback is not like an All-Star game and fans voting to add the Twins second baseman today carries the day. We are advising the Planning Commission that the information heard includes some interest in the 8 ft. fence as well. Actually, they are receiving a copy of your message. All have agreed that the right landscaping would really help and the District has been supportive. Given your comments Monday night, you can appreciate that the District has said they will give us more detailed information on their site search. While we haven't seen it yet, this has been sought and now there will be a response. Happy Friday to you as well. And, enjoy what I hear will be a very warm weekend.

I really appreciate you and Kathy (and Mayor Mary & Clint) taking the time to meet with us. I think opening up the lines of communication in that manner was huge so I greatly appreciate your time and efforts. The Scholler's would prefer an 8 ft fence if need be, however we would also like LOTS and LOTS of trees to help this project be more appealing to the eye as we enjoy our time in the back yard. Preferably evergreen or something that does not lose it's leaves in the winter months. Thanks again Bruce — I look forward to hearing of any progress on this subject. Have a fantastic weekend!!
