(PC15-45-C) LOCATION: 6275 - 147th Street West PETITIONER: AVBC, LLC City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicant is requesting approval of four conditional use permits to allow for outdoor storage of commercial vehicles and equipment at 14607 Felton Court, 14608 Felton Court, 14645 Felton Court and 6275 - 147th Street West. 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 roll -off dumpsters or compactors in the loading berths and covered trash containers just outside of a rear door of an occupied building suite. The properties are 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 paved areas behind each of the buildings. The applicant has stated that he would not allow 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 The applicant would also like to have the ability to allow his tenants to park passenger automobiles, pickup trucks and vans in front of the buildings overnight. These vehicles would be directly associated with the uses within the buildings. Staff initially had reservations with allowing this type of use, but would not with the limits set forth on the type of vehicle that can be parked overnight. Storage of damaged, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles and trailers would not be allowed to be stored. Mr. Lovelace reviewed the parking requirements and if there were any adverse impacts. He stated City Code requires screening for exterior storage. 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. Discussion followed.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes December 16, 2015 Page 4 of 4 Respectfully Submitted, i I'L Jo (3. eP ment iistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on PROJECT NAME: Zoning Ordinance Amendment to the Maximum Building Coverage in Planned Development No. 342/zone 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Consider amending the maximum building coverage requirement in Planned Development No. 342 /zone 1 to allow for an increase from its current 20 %. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: City of Apple Valley PROJECT NUMBER: PC 16 -02 -Z Attachments city of Apple Valley Draft Resolution Setting Hearing Location Map Zoning Map ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 4A January 20, 2016 Consent Action Requested Adopt the draft resolution setting a public hearing for February 17, 2016, to consider amending Article 14 (Planned Development No. 342), Appendix F of Chapter 155 of the Apple Valley Code of Ordinances to increase the maximum building coverage in Planned Development No. 342 /zone 1. Project Summary /Issues A resident living in the Scottsbriar residential development, which is designated Planned Development No. 342 /zone 1 on the City's zoning map, submitted a building permit application recently for a small addition to his existing dwelling unit. During the review of his building permit application, staff became aware that the existing structure exceeded the maximum 20% building coverage allowed in the planned development zoning district. Staffs preliminary research of properties in the development found that there appears to be other properties that may not be in compliance with the current building coverage requirement. Generally, the normal course of action would be to require the property owner to submit a variance request for consideration by the City. However, because the property is located in a planned development, which is a zoning district whose specific uses, area requirements and performance standards have been negotiated between the City and developer, the variance procedure cannot be utilized. Therefore, an amendment to the planned development ordinance becomes the proper procedure. A building coverage amendment would affect 186 single- family properties generally located south of 142 Street West, along and west of Euclid Avenue, along and north of 144 Street West, and east of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Any increase in the maximum building coverage over the subject properties would still be contingent upon meeting the current maximum impervious surface coverage requirements set forth in the zoning code and referenced in the planned development ordinance. Budget Impact N/A A RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR AMENDING THE BUILDING COVERAGE ZONING REGULATION IN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 342 /ZONE 1 OF THE CITY OF APPLE VALLEY WHEREAS, the City of Apple Valley has adopted a Zoning Ordinance dividing the City into a series of zones providing for a variety of permitted land uses and performance standards in order to protect the public health safety, and general welfare, and WHEREAS, the terms of such regulations provide for the establishment of uses, area requirements and performance standards in planned develo p ments and CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2016-1 ADOPTED this 20th day of January, 2016. WHEREAS, the Apple Valley Planning Commission finds that current conditions warrant the consideration of an amendment to Planned Development No. 342 /zone 1 of the Apple Valley pp Y Zoning Ordinance to increase the maximum buildin g coverage requirement therefore, and .g WHEREAS, Section 155.400 of the City Code of Ordinances rovides for such procedure p p to effect a rezoning or amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Apple Valley, Dakota County, Minnesota, that a ublic hearing before the Apple Valley Planning g pp Y g Commission be set February 17, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as p ossible to consider an amendment to the Apple Valley zoning regulations concerning maximum building coverage g e as g listed in Article 14, Appendix F of Chapter 155 of the A pp le Valley Code of Ordinances. y Thomas Melander, Chair PLANNED DEVELOPMENT" NO. 342 /ZONE 1 ZONING AMENDMENT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 342 /ZONE 1 ZONING AMENDMENT PROJECT NAME: Quarry Ponds Addition PROJECT DESCRIPTION Request for rezoning from "SG" (Sand and Gravel) to "PD- 975 /zone 1" (Planned Development) and subdivision of approximately 25 acres into 60 single- family residential lots. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Palm Realty, Inc. PROJECT NUMBER: PC 15 -47 -ZS APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: December 10, 2015 February 7, 2016 April 7, 2016 0 *** 00040 0000 City of Apple Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5A January 20, 2016 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 The property is currently zoned "SG" (Sand and Gravel). The applicant has requested a rezoning of the property from "SG" to a "PD -975 /zone 1" (Planned Development). The minimum lot area and lot width within this "PD" district is 8,450 sq. ft. and 60 feet for an interior lot, and 10,400 sq. ft. and 80 feet for a corner lot. All lots meet the minimum lot area requirements and it appears that all lots meet the minimum lot width requirements. The proposed development is located on property that is part of a sand and gravel mining conditional use permit (C.U.P.). This proposal will end the ability of Fischer Sand and Aggregate, the current owner, to mine the property. Therefore, the owner will need to release the subject property from sand and gravel mining C.U.P. Staff will work with the developer and property owner with an amendment of their C.U.P. Mining operations will continue to the north and east of the proposed development, which could result in potential conflicts with the proposed residential development. This will need to be addressed through the zoning code regulations that establish setbacks between residential property and mining operations, operating hours, and screening. The project is proposed to be done in three phases. The most southerly 21 lots will be developed in the first phase, with the remaining 39 lots developed in the second and third phases. Therefore, all residential lots in the latter phases should be platted as one or two outlots, consistent with the phasing plan. Drainage and utility easements abutting public street rights -of -way and centered on rear or side lot lines shall be at least ten feet wide or wider as shall be required. Easements shall also be established over all utilities located outside of the public right -of -way and before - mentioned perimeter easements. No direct driveway access shall be allowed from the proposed lots to future 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. This shall be accomplished with the execution of an access restriction easement agreement that will place a one -foot easement over that portion of the lots directly abutting the two streets. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has reviewed the proposed plat and park dedication and is recommending that the City not accept Outlot A for public park purposes. The City would like to expand Regatta Park to a size that would accommodate, at a minimum, outdoor skating rinks and a warming house. Staff would like to work with the developer on creating an expansion plan for Regatta Park, which would include the dedication of land outside of this plat that could satisfy the plat dedication requirements. Streets A and B will not be through streets in the first phase and the applicant has not shown any turnarounds at their termination points. Public access turnarounds shall be constructed to City standards within dedicated easements that will be temporary. A landscape plan shall be submitted that identifies the species type and location of plantings in the rear and side yards of lots located directly adjacent to future Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. The staging plan identifies landscape and landscape/berm areas in the rear and side of all lots abutting 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Scenic /conservation easements shall be established over those areas. A section of the North Creek Greenway will be established in this development. This will include the location of a tunnel under Johnny Cake Ridge Road, just south of the 155 Street West intersection. A second tunnel is proposed under 155 Street West, west of the Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection, which is outside of the project area. Staff and the developer will be working closely with Dakota County on securing these tunnel locations. Landscaping should be installed in the rear of Lots 1 -9, Block 1 that will provide screening from the North Creek Greenway. The 155 Street West/Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection is being proposed as two -lane roundabout. The necessary right -of -way for this intersection has not been indicated on any of submitted plans. It may be necessary to dedicate a portion of right -of -way for this intersection with this development. The applicant is proposing to extend sanitary sewer and watermain lines in the proposed Johnny Cake Ridge Road right -of -way between 157 and 155 Streets. The proposed plat shows the dedication of the west half of the right -of -way will be dedicated. The applicant should consider dedicating the full right -of -way, which will avoid the need to plat a drainage and utility easement over the east of the street. Budget Impact The City will share part of the cost for the construction of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West.

The "LD" is designed to accommodate residential developments that range from two to six units per acre and include most of the existing single- family residential areas that are zoned "R-1", "R -2 ", "R-3", and "R -CL ". Other zoning districts eligible for this land use category include "R -5" (two family); "M-1", "M -2 ", and "M -3" (multiple family); and "PD" (planned development). The proposed 60 -lot single- family residential development on 24.56 acres will have a gross density of 2.44 units per acre, which exceeds the minimum required density within the "LD" designation. 2030 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION "LD" (Low Density Residentia1/2 -6 units per acre) Livable Communities impact: The proposal will create up to 60 market -rate single-family dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock, which is consistent with the following Livable Communities Act principles: • Provide a balanced supply of housing supply, with housing available for people of all income levels; and • Provide a variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle. Zoning: The property is currently zoned "SG" (Sand and Gravel), which allows limited agricultural pursuits, including crop and plant production and commercial greenhouses and nurseries as permitted uses, and sand and gravel mining as a conditional use. The applicant has requested a rezoning of the property from "SG" to a "PD- 975 /zone 1" (Planned Development). This planned development designation has established uses, area requirements, and performance standards for the planned development district, consistent with the existing subdivision developments within the "PD" district. The minimum lot area and lot width within this "PD" district is 8,450 sq. ft. and 60 feet for an interior lot, and 10,400 sq. ft. and 80 feet for a corner lot. All lots meet the minimum lot area requirements and it appears that all lots meet the minimum lot width requirements. The proposed development is located on property that is part of a sand and gravel mining conditional use permit (C.U.P.). This proposal will end the ability of Fischer Sand and Aggregate, the current owner, to mine the property. Therefore, the owner will need to formally release this property from the sand and gravel mining C.U.P. Staff will work with the developer and property owner with an amendment of their C.U.P. Mining operations will continue north and east of the proposed development, which could result in potential conflicts. This will need to be addressed through the zoning code regulations that establish setbacks between residential property and mining operations, operating hours, and screening. ZONING MAP "SG" (Sand and Gravel) Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat consists of the platting of approximately 25 acres into 60 single- family lots and two outlots. This will result in a net density of three (3) units per acre. Lot sizes will range from 9,296 sq. ft. to 21,182 sq. ft. in area. Access to the individual lots within the proposed subdivision will be from two local streets. Street A will intersect with 157 Street West that will subdivision will be via 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, both collector streets that do not currently exist. The right -of -way for 157 Street West was dedicated with the Regent's Point final plat. The west half of Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be dedicated with this plat. Direct access to the individual lots will be from local residential streets whose right -of -way will be dedicated with this plat. No direct access from the lots within this plat to 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be allowed. The project is proposed to be done in three phases. The most southerly 21 lots will be developed in the first phase, with the remaining 39 lots developed in the second and third phases. Therefore, all residential lots in the latter phases should be platted as one or two outlots, consistent with the phasing plan. The preliminary plat does not identify any drainage and utility easements. Utility and drainage easements abutting public street rights -of -way and centered on rear or side lot lines shall be at least ten feet wide or wider as shall be required. Easements shall also be established over all utilities located outside of the public right -of -way and before - mentioned perimeter easements. As stated, no direct driveway access shall be allowed from the proposed lots to future 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. This shall be accomplished with the execution of an access restriction easement agreement that will place a one -foot easement over that portion of the lots directly abutting the two streets. Outlot A is proposed to be dedicated for public park purposes and a future trail, running north and south is identified in the outlot. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has reviewed the proposed plat and park dedication and is recommending that the City not accept the outlot for public park purposes. Outlot B is proposed to be the location of a section of the North Creek Greenway, a 14 -mile regional trail that travels through Empire Township, Farmington, Lakeville, Apple Valley, and Eagan. A 100 -foot wide pipeline easement is located in this outlot, which will restrict how Dakota County utilizes the outlot for the trail. Staging Plan: The development is proposed to be done in three phases. The first phase will develop the most southerly 21 lots, which will be done in 2016. The second phase will include 22 lots, which will be completed in 2017. The final phase will include the development of the remaining 17 lots in 2018. Johnny Cake Ridge Road, from 158 Street West to 157 Street West and 157 Street West, from just west of Pilot Knob Road to the Regatta development will be constructed this year. Street A will intersect with 157 Street West and will provide the only access to the site in the first phase. Street B will intersect with Street A and will provide access to ten of the 21 lots in phase 1. The streets will not be through streets and no turnarounds are shown at their termination points. Public access turnarounds shall be constructed to City standards within dedicated temporary easements. Grading Plan: The site has been disturbed as part of a sand and gravel mining operation. The site will be mass graded in preparation for development. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plans and his comments are included in the attached memo. Landscape Plan: A landscape plan is normally not required with a single- family development proposal in the City's typical single- family zoning districts. However, this development is located in a planned development and will be adjacent to two collector streets. These two elements dictate the need for a landscaping plan that identifies the species type and location of plantings on lots located directly adjacent to future Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. The staging plan does identify landscape and landscape /berm areas in the rear and side of all lots abutting 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Scenic /conservation easements shall be established over those areas. The North Creek Greenway will run directly behind Lots 1 -9, Block 1. Landscaping should be installed in the rear of these lots to provide screening from the greenway. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Utilities to serve this proposed development will be extended north from the existing development to the south. The applicant is also requesting the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain in the proposed Johnny Cake Ridge Road right -of -way. The proposed plat shows the dedication of the west half of the right -of -way will be dedicated. The applicant should consider dedicating the full right -of -way, which will avoid the need to plat a drainage and utility easement over the east of the street. Storm sewer pipes will be installed to collect water from lots in the subdivision and transport it to the storm water ponding area located to the south of the development. Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: Streets A and B, two local streets will be constructed within the proposed subdivision and will provide direct access to the individual lots. Street A will intersect with future Johnny Cake Ridge Road to the east and 157 Street West to the south. Johnny Cake Ridge Road, which will run along the east side of the development, will be constructed from 157 Street West to 155 Street West. Johnny Cake Ridge Road is a major collector. Major collector streets are designed to serve shorter trips within the city and collect traffic from neighborhoods and employment centers to the arterial system. The 2030 traffic volumes for the section of this street between CSAH 46 and CSAH 42 are estimated to be 13,000-19,800 trips per day. The applicant has not indicated when the construction of Johnny Cake Ridge Road, north of 157 Street West, will occur. 157 Street West is a minor collector roadway, which will run along the south side of the development. These streets are designed to collect neighborhood traffic and distribute it to major collector and arterial streets in the city. These streets are generally shorter and less continuous than major collector streets. The construction of the section of 157 Street West from Pilot Knob Road to the Regatta Development will allow traffic to travel from Cobblestone Lake Parkway to the east to Garden View Drive to the west. The 2030 traffic volume for the section of this street between the Regatta development and Pilot Knob Road is estimated to be 4,000 trips per day. Although this is outside the scope of this project, it should be noted that the 155 Street West /Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection is being proposed as two -lane roundabout. The necessary right -of -way for this intersection has not been indicated on any of submitted plans. It may be necessary to dedicate a portion of right -of -way for this intersection with this development. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalks, trails or pathways shall be provided in accordance with provisions of the City's pedestrian circulation plan. Sidewalks will be required along both sides of local streets within the development and pathways will be installed on both sides of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. As previously mentioned, a section of the North Creek Greenway will be established in this development. This will include the location of a tunnel under Johnny Cake Ridge Road, just south of the 155 Street West intersection. A second tunnel is proposed under 155 Street West, west of the Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection. Staff and the developer will be working closely with Dakota County on securing these tunnel locations. Recreation Issues: The City's subdivision regulations provide for dedication of land or easements for the purpose of offsetting the need created by new development for new parks or storm water holding ponds. The regulations also provide for a cash -in -lieu of land dedication and is based on a "benchmark" land valuation for raw land. The preliminary plat indicates the dedication of Outlot A for public park purposes. As stated previously, the City's Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has recommended that the Outlot A not be accepted for park dedication. The City would like to expand Regatta Park to a size that would, at a minimum, accommodate outdoor skating rinks and a warming house. Staff would like to work with the developer on creating an expansion plan for Regatta Park, which would include the dedication of land outside of this plat that could satisfy the plat dedication requirements. Public Hearing Comments: 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. CITY OF Apple Valley MEMO Public Works TO: Tom Lovelace, City Planner FROM: Brandon S.

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 reduce the number of required parking stalls, reduce the setbacks from Cedar Avenue and 140 Street, and allow for increased density based upon senior amenities. A written statement of how a rezoning of this property to a PD designation will benefit the public interest has been provided. Site Plan: The 4 -story senior apartment building with underground parking will be located roughly parallel to Cedar Avenue in a north -south alignment. The building will have 163 units which will result in a density of 45.5 units /acre. The plans indicate that 143 garage parking stalls and 50 surface parking stalls would be provided which is a ratio of 1.14 parking stalls per unit. Traffic Concerns: The City Engineer conducted a traffic study and determined that the site will have very low traffic volume and should have no negative impact on adjacent roadways. The warrants are not met to require the construction of an east bound to southbound right turn lane off of 140 Street to Granite Avenue. Neighbors may be experiencing a change in traffic patterns due to the intersection change at 142" Street and Cedar Avenue from a fully signalized intersection to 3 /4 intersection. However, traffic levels are well within the street capacity for Granite Avenue. Grades and Retaining Walls: Retaining walls are shown installed to help manage the grades on the site. Along Cedar Ave, the retaining walls are tapered and range from 5' to 8' tall with the wall on the southeast comer of the site at 9' tall. Along the south property line the wall will be 11' tall. A two - tiered wall system was considered to break up the wall massing. However, using a single wall will allow better access around the south and east sides of the buildings which is a concern for the Fire Department. 2 Exterior Elevation Perspectives and Cross Section Drawings: Perspective drawings were prepared showing the building in relation to the site. A variety of materials and varying roofline helps to provide visual interest and breaks up the massing of the building. A cross section drawing helps to show that the proposed new building will be constructed at a lower elevation than the properties to the west. Consequently, the proposed building will not "tower over" nearby buildings, but will actually have a lower roofline than the Summerhill building. The proposed senior apartment and Summerhill building will be over 300' between each other which will also help to offset the "towering" effect. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1.

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. 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 allow l reduced setbacks from Cedar Avenue and l40 Street, to reduce the number of parking spaces required, and to allow for increased density based upon senior amenities. The following chart shows the standards where flexibility from the typical M -8 zoning requirements are requested: 5 Building Setbacks: • Cedar Ave 50' 35' 30' Requested • 140 St 40' 10.8' 20' Requested except 2 encroachments north side. Property has notch on NE comer for Cedar Ave ROW. • Side Yard (So.) 25' 20' 20' Requested Parking Setbacks: • 140 St 15' 10' 10' Requested Building Coverage 35% 39.3% Calc. includes outdoor patio which is roof of U/G garage. Parking Spaces: Garage: 163 (1 /unit) 143 (0.9 /unit) Surface: 245 (1.5 /unit) 43 (0.3 /unit) Total 408 (2.5 /unit) 186 (1.14 /unit) Timbers 1.109 /unit Orchard Sq /Cortland Sq 1.13 /unit Seasons 1.0 /unit 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. The developer submitted a letter explaining the benefits to the City related to the project: • Affordable independent senior housing. • High quality development with "Class A" building materials including high - quality exterior and interior materials and finishes. • Creates new jobs: construction jobs plus permanent full -time management and maintenance positions plus part-time positions including salon and fitness center. • PD allows flexibility to meet the unique needs of seniors: reduced parking required, amenities specifically oriented to seniors, and retail /service uses like hair salon/barbershop are included in the building. The Apple Valley Senior project will include the following amenities: The community courtyard area on the east side of the building will have a built -in bar and grill, fire pit, dining and cafe tables and chairs, lounge furniture, and freestanding planters. 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. A portion of the bituminous trail along 140 Street W. is outside of the dedicated ROW. A trail easement will be needed for the portion of the trail outside the ROW. 6 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 shown to be 11' tall. Elevation Drawings. The elevation drawings confirm that the building is four stories tall with a total height of 52'. The exterior building materials include face brick and cementitious fiberboard lap siding. Landscape Plan. The total number of inches removed of existing trees will be replaced with plantings shown in the landscape plan. See Natural Resources Coordinator's Comments. Availability of Municipal Utilities. Utilities are available at the site. The developer has revised its plans to loop the water main. Water currently stubbed on the west side of the site near Granite Avenue will be connected via water main extension under 140 Street West. See additional City Engineer 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. Six foot sidewalk is located along Granite Avenue. An eight foot bituminous trail is located along 140 Street and along Cedar Avenue. A pedestrian connection from the east side of the building to the Cedar Avenue pathway is requested if feasible. Public Safety Issues. One of the final issues related to the site plan is ensuring there are adequate means of egress from the building. The site plan shows exits and sidewalks so that residents may exit the building and then be directed to a public way. Recreation Issues: Fred Larg en park is located east of Cedar Avenue on 142 Street approximately 700 feet from the site. Carrolwood Park is located 1,100 feet west of Pennock Avenue on 142 Street. A cash -in -lieu of land dedication will be taken for this development. 7 Signs: No signs have been reviewed. A separate sign permit must be obtained before the installation of permanent signage on the site. The site is limited to one monument sign and must meet required setbacks. Public Hearing Comments: 1. History of zoning on the site: Staff response: The proposed development site is made up of two outlots and one unplatted parcel. The unplatted parcel on the southwest comer of Cedar Avenue and 140 Street West was zoned R1 (Single family) until 1986 when it was rezoned to "LB -1" (Restricted Limited Business). The other parcels were zoned R1 (Single family) from 1971 to 1989. In December of 1999 all three parcels were rezoned to M -8C (Multiple family, 12+ units/acre) to make them consistent with the comprehensive plan. 2. Property should not be rezoned to "PD" (Planned Development) and developers should have to follow the same setbacks as everyone else. To allow one builder to deviate from setbacks and regulations would deter from the look and functionality of the existing neighborhood. I was required to move back a pre- existing shed and have a new slab poured when it was decided to route Granite Ave through. Staff response: The petitioners requested a rezoning of the property to allow flexibility from some of the zoning requirements. The flexibility is needed in order to develop a viable development. If the petitioners were required to meet the 50' setbacks from Cedar Avenue, the 40' setbacks from 140 Street, and provide the standard parking requirements, the footprint of the building would need to be reduced significantly. The site is constrained due to the size and classification of the adjacent roadways. The proposed development is an urban design geared to meet the need of seniors rather than the City's more typical suburban design. A suburban intensive design is appropriate for projects within the 140 Street METRO Red Line station area and adjacent to a principal arterial roadway. The resident was required to move an existing shed because it did not meet the setback requirements. The right -of -way for Granite Avenue was dedicated in 1981, so it was always planned to be extended north to 140 Street West. The shed would have been required to be set back 20' from the right -of -way line. However, the setback issue wasn't identified until the Granite was extended north in 2003. 3. What will be the design and materials of the retaining walls and fencing? Staff response: The petitioners state that they will use the same block and decorative fence treatment that was used on the Cedar Avenue expansion project. The oversized block and decorative fencing will match the Cedar Avenue construction theme. 4. How will water pressure be impacted? Would the water supply line finally be connected at 140 Street to make it a loop? Water pressure currently gets disrupted during high use. Staff response: The revised utility plan shows that, in connection with the proposed development, water service that is stubbed into Granite Avenue will be connected to a water main extension under 140 Street W. This should help to improve water pressure in the area. 5. Traffic issues identified including trip generation, need for a right turn lane on eastbound 140 Street to southbound Granite Ave, and intersection visibility at 142 °a Street and Granite Ave. Staff response: The City Engineer conducted a traffic study and 8 determined that traffic generated from a 163 -unit senior apartment building would increase traffic by roughly 80 trips per day. Traffic patterns on Granite Avenue have likely changed due to the modification of the 142 Street and Cedar Avenue intersection which no longer allows an eastbound on 142 Street to northbound on Cedar Avenue trip. However, traffic levels on Granite Avenue are still very low. The number of trips generated from this development will not create the need for a right turn lane on eastbound 140 Street to southbound Granite Ave. 6. The already high traffic amounts come from residents, cut through traffic, furniture trucks, moving trucks, garbage trucks, appliance trucks, medical supply trucks, in- home care and cleaning contractors, delivery trucks, couriers, ambulance and fire trucks, buses, construction contractors. Staff response: The traffic study indicates that traffic levels on Granite Avenue are actually quite low. The proposed development will increase traffic volumes slightly, but traffic levels will remain very low. Granite Avenue functions as a typical residential street and accommodates traffic that provides services to neighborhoods. 7. Summerhill's north property drains to Outlot B of this development. Where would all the runoff water be filtered or used? Staff response: The drainage area on the northwest corner of the proposed development property will be public and will provide infiltration and drainage for the northern portion of the Summerhill development. In- ground retention is also shown on the east side of the building with a 48" storm vault. 8. Lighting plan needed. Staff response: A lighting plan will be required at time of application of the building permit. All lighting must be properly shielded to restrict light spillover to the property. 9. Concern about height of building and whether it is out of scale with adjacent development. Staff response: The cross - section drawings show that the building will not be out of scale with other buildings in the area. In fact, because the subject site is a lower elevation than the Summerhill site, Summerhill will be taller than the proposed Apple Valley Senior building. A rough measurement was done and the two buildings are over 300' from one another. The distance between the buildings will help to mitigate any perception of one building "towering over" the other. The proposed senior apartment building is located within the METRO Red Line 140 Street Station area. Within Red Line station areas the City expects market demand for increased development density and activity. A market rate apartment building meeting all of the requirements of the zoning district would have a more significant impact to surrounding road systems, schools and neighboring areas. A senior apartment building will have much less impact. This project is very similar to recently constructed senior developments including the Cobblestone Senior Complex (214 units, 31 units /acre density), Cobblestone Lake Senior Apartments (CDA) (60 units, 27 units /acre), The Seasons at Apple Valley (134 units, 55 units /acre) and market rate developments including Remington Cove (40 units /acre), Gabella at Parkside Village (37.7 units/acre ) and Galante at Parkside Village (42.9 units /acre). 9 10. Due to the one -way nature of Granite Avenue many cars and super heavy trucks use my driveway as a turnaround. Homeowner discussed impacts to his driveway resulting from construction of Granite Avenue. Staff response: The issues raised are bein g investigated by the City Engineer. Staff is not aware of an issue with excessive turnarounds being made in a private driveway, but the City Engineer and Public Works Department will review. Granite Avenue is not a one -way street but a two -way street. However, vehicles must turn right or eastbound onto 140 Street to the stop light at Cedar Avenue and 140 Street. 11. Is the proposed hair salon a retail business open to the public? Staff response: No, the hair salon will be operated for the residents of the building. No outside service is being considered. 12. The US Geological Service told me this is a prime location to find dinosaur remnants etc. because of two separate glacial events intersecting at this location. That would explain why I found a woolly mammoth molar in a preserved condition at this site. Staff response: Staff discussed this issue with an archeologist at the State Historical Society and he stated that sometimes bone fragments are found in connection with "glacial outwash" areas but they don't turn out to be historically or archeologically significant findings. State and Federal laws are in place to protect historical and cultural sites. A paleontological site (fossils of plants or animals) would have a different set of requirements. A photograph of the tooth was reviewed by the archeologist with the State Historical Society and he confirms that it looks real. Further review would be needed to authenticate, but the State Historical Society would be interested in investigating. He indicates that the finding may be subject to the National Historic Preservation Act, the State of Minnesota's Historic Site Act or the Field Archeology Act. An archeological survey may be appropriate to determine whether there are additional artifacts on the site. A condition of issuing the NRMP could be that an archeological survey may be required depending upon State and Federal historic preservation laws. 10 Kathy Bodmer Planner 7100 147 Street W. Apple Valley, MN 55124 Dear Kathy: IN Re: Apple Valley Senior Rezoning to Planned Development January 14th, 2016 As part of the Planned Development (PD) rezoning, Dominium is pleased to outline the many public benefits of rezoning the property at the SW corner of 140 Street and Cedar Avenue to PD. Changing the zoning to PD allows us to create the density that is needed to provide this unique housing option that currently does not exist in the City of Apple Valley. The proposed community will cater to the senior community that wants to remain in the City of Apple Valley, but are not in need of the services that are provided at many other senior communities. This development will offer extremely high quality independent living in a 55+ development at affordable rental rates. Currently, Apple Valley has several senior communities that offer memory care and assisted living, like Seasons at Apple - Valley, Cobblestone Square, and Apple Valley Villa. While these communities are very important, they cater to seniors who are in need of full-time care. These communities typically come with a large price tag that is often over 51200 a month for a one bedroom apartment. In comparison, our one-bedroom apartments will rent for roughly $950 dollars a month, and residents will enjoy many amenities, including fitness center, theater, craft room, clubhouse, hair salon, library, and an extensive outdoor space. In summary the public benefits to consider for rezoning to Planned Development are: 1) Unique housing option that is presently not available in Apple Valley: • Affordable, independent senior rental housing O According to the Metropolitan Council, Apple Valley needs an additional 1,324 units of affordable housing units by 2020, which ranks #11 amongst all communities in the 7 County Metropolitan Area. O High quality development designed with "Class A" building materials • Exterior: Brick/Stone, flardi board siding and glass a Interior: Extensive common area amenities and large homes with high quality finishes 2) The creation of jobs: 0 With a development of this size there will be many new jobs created some of these are permanent positions, • Management and Maintenance will make up a bulk of the permanent full time position a There will be part time positions as well that are ongoing — the salon and the fitness center require part time employment. 2,90.5 Northwest Blvd, Suite. 1 50 - Plymout h„ NAN' .55441-26,44 - 761'354-5500 Fax 763/.354-55.19 - Web dominiuma.partments.com Sincerely, Ron Mehl Senior Developer The construction of development this size will create and estimated 18,501 hours of work. over a 14 month construction period. always The following is a breakdown of the estimated hours by sub-trade: ariCk'.ayerS NUSOCIS, 833 'The proposed development will be a project that the City of Apple Valley can be proud of due to the appropriate use of space and the need that it will net by providing affordable living to its senior population. This is a project that will continue to serve the Apple Valley community for years to come. Dominium is very excited to provide 163 units of quality senior affordable housing at the gateway of Apple Valley. The change. in zoning to PD al:lows us to increase the density that is needed for a project like this to be economically feasible. In addition to this, the PD zoning allows us to provide an amount of parking that is tailored towards seniors, and consistent with other senior properties in the area. We anticipate that the amount of parking needed at the project will also be impacted by the large number of residents that will be using the METRO Red Line that is located less than 1,000 feet from our property.

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.

Hello: Have a good day, Nina Kirillova Murphy, Joan RE: comment about construction of the senior apt bld. From: Murphy, Joan Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 10:22 AM To: Bodmer, Kathy Subject: FW: comment about construction of the senior apt bld. I am honestly upset that the land located at the southwest corner of Cedar Avenue and 140th str W will be used to build a senior apartment building. This area is so densely populated, with high traffic volume, stores and restaurants but virtually not a SINGLE park for people to walk and relax at. There are a lot of families with kids (including us) with no place to go and play at. There is a playground East of Cedar, but with no trees or greenery and a tiny park West of Pennock, which is way too small. 1 know the park wouldn't bring any money to the city, but I am sure people in Apple Valley would be so much happier to have a green place to relax and rest and walk at... Including the elderly residents of the senior apartment home that already exists there. I thought this area was ideal for a park. 1 Proposed Apple Valley senior apartment building at the South west corner of 140th St. And Cedar Avenue. Mike Gragert 14125 granite Avenue Apple Valley these comments are in addition to my verbal comments at the December Second 2015 planning meeting. Back when Summer Hill was in the development stage the City planners had redraw'n and approved the property Lines of the proposed senior apartment lot. I don't believe the project should be granted planned development status. They should be required to follow set back regulations like all surrounding property owners have. I was required to move back a pre-existing shed and have a new slab poured for it when it was decided to route granite Avenue through.To allow one Builder to deviate from setbacks and regulations would deter from the look and functionality of the neighborhood already in place.The already high traffic amounts come from residents, cut through traffic, furniture trucks, moving trucks, garbage trucks, appliance trucks, medical supply trucks, in home care and cleaning contractors, delivery trucks, couriers, ambulance and fire trucks, buses, construction contractors and I am sure I missed a few others. Due to the one-way nature of granite Avenue many cars and super heavy trucks use my driveway as a turnaround.I have had to stop using my driveway for years now to stop further damage to my new asphalt driveway. Those sidewalks/ apron have been broken twice already, also those curbs and 30 feet south are settling due to poor soil. The road construction crew doing a deep soil correction stopped at the north side of my driveway, they should have continued 30 feet past my driveway. Recently,' brought this up to a city engineer and the street supervisor. I wanted to fix the problem. The city engineers suggestion was to just let it get more damaged ,I Don't want my driveway more damaged. Where would all the runoff water be filtered or used? Would the water supply line finally be connected at 140th St. To make it a loop? Water pressure currently gets disrupted during high use. Is the proposed hair salon a retail Business open to the public? The us geological Service has told me this is a prime location to find dinosaur remnants etc. Because of two separate glacial events intersecting at this location. That would explain why I found a woolly mammoth molar in a preserved condition at this site. This lot is in a prime location and should have no trouble selling.Thanks, Mike Bodmer, Kath Subject: RE: Process for Wooly Mammoth Molar From: mike gragert [] Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 6:14 AM To: Bodmer, Kathy Subject: Re: Process for Wooly Mammoth Molar On Jan 15, 2016, at 4:30 AM, mike gragert <> wrote: Hi Kathy, Thanks for your interest and expertise concerning the wooly mammoth . molar found at site of proposed apartment building @ 140 and Cedar ave.The molar was confirmed by an Apple Valley High School Science Teacher in 2003.When he saw the molar, he was like duh,it's a wooly mammoth molar.The molar was unearthed when pipelayers were installing and connecting the waterline under Granite Ave. from the south end of proposed development property, North to 140 St. The Bell Museum at the U of M was helpful and informative about this subject.They said it is a double opportunity at one location,for deposits to be found here. They told me the first glacial event pushed down, from the north,dirt,debris and anything in it's path, ending up at this location.These ridges are called the moraine and this location is at the bottom edge of the moraine. As the glacier melted the moraine was left behind as ridges or 1 hills.FYI on the north side of 140th I saw heavy equipment cutting a roadbed through "virgin "soil,the moraine /shoreline,it was 8ft deep black dirt.The second glacial event occurred later when those glaciers, melted away.That created a humungous powerful river here capable of eroding the land and moving heavy objects like wooly mammoth skeletons and depositing them here. • This is a preserved /fresh specimen, which means it may have DNA that may, be used to clone these beasts. Several people are still attempting cloning wooly mammoths around the world and getting closer to it. When I go get the molar out of storage I would be very interested in David Mather's opinions of it. I would request that you don't overpopulate the already congested Granite Ave. Would you email me the drawing that now shows elevations?

Project Summary/Issues The project involves the redevelopment of an underused office building on the southeast corner of CSAH 42 and Pennock Lane. The office building would be removed and a 4,800 sq. ft. two-tenant retail building would be constructed. The petitioners propose 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 20' to 10' adjacent to County Road 42. 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. A total of 53 parking spaces are required; 29 spaces are available on site resulting in a deficit of 24 parking spaces. The petitioner plans to work out a shared parking agreement with the Firestone site west of the subject site for 12 spaces and Regency Center for 12 spaces. On the Firestone site, total of 15 spaces could be added, less three spaces for reconfiguring the parking lot, leaving a total of 12 new parking spaces available for shared parking. The petitioners are working with Regency Centers, the owners of the Apple Valley Square Shopping Center on a proposed shared parking agreement for the remaining 12 parking spaces. However, it will take time to negotiate with Regency Centers. The last option being considered by the petitioner would be to modify the tenants so that parking demand is lowered on the site. The petitioners are considering replacing the Class I Casual Restaurant with a retail or office use which would require fewer parking spaces. The site is expected to connect to 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.

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. A setback variance is requested to reduce the parking setback from 20' to 10' adjacent to County Road 42. The variance is needed to provide a sidewalk on the north side of the building. 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 of the site. 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. The number of required off - street parking spaces is calculated based on the number of seats inside and outside a restaurant. A total of 53 spaces is required based upon the number of seats; 29 spaces are available on site resulting in a deficit of 24 parking spaces. The petitioner plans to work out a shared parking agreement with the Firestone site west of the subject site. A total of 15 spaces could be added, less three spaces for reconfiguring the parking lot, leaving a total of 12 new parking spaces available for shared parking. The proposed parking addition would require a similar setback variance along County road 42 as the current project. The petitioners are also working with Regency Centers, the owners of the Apple Valley Square Shopping Center on a proposed shared parking agreement for the remaining 12 parking spaces still needed. Regency has indicated a willingness to discuss adding parking, but that will also require a parking setback variance. In addition, the petitioners state it will take time to negotiate an agreement with Regency Centers. They state they can have agreements in place in time for application of the building permit. 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 petitioners revised the exterior design and added masonry to ensure equal treatment of all four sides of the building. 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 shrubs along the north property line. No additional trees are shown. The landscape plan should be revised to show the preservation of three large trees on the west side of the site along with tree protection measures. Municipal Utilities: Utilities are currently located on the site. The plans have been revised to show an easement dedicated over the large 21" sewer main running north and south along the west side of the property. 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. Agreements will also need to be provided for utility connections to the private shared service lines. 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. 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. The City Engineer has conducted a traffic study to review potential impacts to the shopping center driveway off of Pennock Lane. His recommendations are included in his memo. Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian access is shown from the Pennock Avenue ring route sidewalks on the west side of the site. A sidewalk connection is now shown to connect to the County Road 42 sidewalk. 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. No park dedication will be required in connection with this project because there is no subdivision of the property. 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. The order confirmation board must be 1 sq. ft. or less, otherwise it must be incorporated into the menu board. All signage must comply with the requirements of the sign code. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held on December 2, 2015. No comments were received from the public.

TCF Bank with drive -thru facilities on a new approximately 1 /2 -acre lot in the northeast corner of the existing Mt. Olivet Church site, 14201 Cedar Avenue. STAFF CONTACT: Kathy Bodmer, Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Mount Olivet Assembly of God /TCF Bank PROJECT NUMBER: APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: City of Apple Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 7A January 20, 2016 Other Business Proposed Action • No official action is required. TCF wishes to introduce the project and receive feedback from the Planning Commission prior to submitting a formal application. • It is recommended that the Planning Commission not state specifically whether or not they would approve or deny the request, but rather, identify the specific zoning questions or issues they might have with the proposed project. Project Summary /Issues The proposed sketch plan is very similar to the sketch plan presented to the Planning Commission at its January 16, 2013, meeting. The site plan is nearly identical, but the design of the building has been changed in keeping with TCF's new branding. Comprehensive Plan: The property is guided "INS" (Institutional) in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan; commercial uses are not permitted in this designation. Any new lot for the bank would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan from "INS" to "C" (Commercial). In addition to review and approval by the City, the Comprehensive Plan amendment requires review and approval by the Metropolitan Council. When the City Council reviews a request to amend its Comprehensive Plan, it has the most discretion to make its land use decision to ensure any amendment is consistent with the City's goals and vision. Zoning: The proposed bank would require a rezoning of the new lot; staff believes a zoning designation of "LB" (Limited Business) would be appropriate given the adjacent land uses, though the TCF Bank would require a variance for building setbacks and approval of a shared parking plan. Subdivision: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 8 -acre lot to create one 1 /2 -acre lot. Because the site is adjacent to Cedar Avenue, any plat must be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission. No access is shown from Cedar Avenue. Parkland dedication or cash -in -lieu of land would be required for the subdivision. Site Plan: The site plan shows an approximately 2,200 sq. ft. bank with two drive -thru lanes for window service, one ATM drive -thru lane, and one bypass lane. The proposed lot is located in an unused flat corner of the existing Mt. Olivet Church lot. The proposed lot would share a driveway with Mt. Olivet Church, which intersects with 142 Street W., as well as the parking lot. Drive -thru lanes intersect with the shared driveway and there may be some concern regarding the vehicle turning movements. There is some modification to the existing driveway and a 22 -foot two -way driveway is shown. A traffic circulation review is needed to ensure there are no conflicts between the uses. The shared driveway and parking will require the execution of cross - access easement agreement, cross - parking agreements, and a shared parking plan between Mt. Olivet Church and TCF Bank. The proposed site appears to comply with the City Code with the exception of the shared driveway and parking lot, and the proximity of the building to Cedar Avenue, which is shown as 20 feet from the property line rather than 50 feet. A stormwater infiltration area is shown on the northeast comer of the site and an underground storage area is shown in the parking lot to the southwest. Stormwater calculations will be needed to ensure the structures are properly sized for the site. Stormwater infiltration would need to occur outside of the Cedar Avenue right -of -way. Sidewalks are shown on the south and east sides of the lot, and a plaza area connects to the trail along Cedar Avenue. Dakota County must approve the encroachment into the Cedar Avenue Right -of- Way. An additional connection to the sidewalk on 142 Street may be desired to ensure the site is consistent with pedestrian connection plans for the Cedar Avenue corridor. A ground sign is shown in the plaza area in the Cedar Avenue Right -of -Way; the ground sign must be located on the property. Elevations: The most significant change to the 2013 plans is the exterior design of the building. The petitioner letter indicates that TCF is rebranding its bank buildings away from the former colonial style. The exterior materials would be a combination of brick, glass and prefinished metal panels. To help increase the visibility of the building, a tall entryway structure is shown on the southeast corner of the building. In addition, a distinctive canopy structure is proposed over the drive -thru lanes. Perspective drawings are included from a similar style bank. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1.

Commercial uses are not permitted in this designation. Any new lot for the bank would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan from "INS" to "C" (Commercial). In addition to review and approval by the City, the Comprehensive Plan amendment requires review and approval by the Metropolitan Council. The site abuts Cedar Avenue and the METRO Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (Bus Rapid Transit) line, and is about '/- mile from the 140 Street Transit Station, which is a walk -up station. Several studies regarding the BRT and transit- oriented development (TOD) have been completed, and they encourage a "mix of land uses and densities at appropriate locations to maximize neighborhood and station connectivity in a manner that enhances a healthy and active lifestyle." Although a drive-thru bank is auto-oriented, the site is designed with a plaza connection to the trail on Cedar Avenue which will provide a pedestrian amenity and convenient access to the building. Zoning: The property is zoned "P" (Institutional), which allows for public and religious facilities. Banks and similar commercial uses are not permitted in this zoning district. The proposed bank would require a rezoning of the new lot; staff believes a zoning designation of "LB" (Limited Business) would be appropriate given the adjacent land uses, though the TCF Bank would require a variance for building setbacks and approval of a shared parking plan. The proposed bank meets all of the requirements for the "LB" zoning district with the exception of the building setback from Cedar Avenue. However, the City has been encouraging development that better integrates with surrounding uses and accommodates pedestrians and alternative transit modes, rather than just autos. It also encourages buildings be closer to the roadway. Subdivision: The applicant is proposing a subdivision of about 1/2-acre for a 2,200 sq. ft. bank with drive- thru facilities. Because the site is adjacent to Cedar Avenue, any plat must be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission. No access is shown from Cedar Avenue. Site Plan: The site plan shows an approximately 2,200 sq. ft. bank with two drive-thru lanes for window, one ATM drive-thru lane, and one bypass lane. The proposed lot is located on the southwest corner of 142 Street W. and Cedar Avenue in an unused flat corner of the existing Mt. Olivet Church lot. The bank would share an existing driveway and parking lot with the church. Drive-thru lanes intersect with the driveway and there may be some concern regarding the vehicle turning movements. The following table shows the required performance standards for the "LB" district compared to what is shown on the sketch plan. Minimum lot Area (sq. ft.) Minimum Lot Width (feet) Building Setbacks East lot line (abutting Cedar Avenue) West lot line North lot line (abutting 142' St.) South lot line Minimum Parking Setbacks Maximum Lot Coverage Maximum Building Height (feet) Minimum Parking Spaces Total parking spaces for church and bank "LB" District or Zoning Requirements 10,000 100 50 15 30 15 20 20% 35 10 plus 6 stacking spaces for each drive-thru or ATM lane 196 plus stacking Proposed TCF Bank Plan Approx. 20,000 Approx. 110 20 55 40 (35 feet to trash enclosure) 62 20 13% 20 7 plus 4-5 stacking spaces for each drive-thru or ATM lane 253 plus reduced stacking The proposed lot would share a driveway with Mt. Olivet Church, which intersects with 142 Street W. This will require the execution of cross-access easement agreements between Mt. Olivet Church and TCF Bank that allow for ingress and egress on both lots. The proposed site appears to comply with the City Code with the exception of the shared driveway and parking lot, and the proximity of the building to Cedar Avenue. Also, a shared parking plan and a cross-parking easement agreement must be executed between both parties to allow for the bank. A trash enclosure is located on the north side of the proposed building, which must be constructed of the same masonry materials as the building. All mechanicals must be properly screened according to the requirements of City Code. Grading Plan: The site is relatively flat, and minimal site grading is likely to be needed. A grading plan will be required. A stormwater infiltration area is shown on the northeast corner of the site and an underground storage area is shown in the parking lot to the southwest. Volume calculations will be needed so that the City can confirm that the infiltration area is sized appropriately. A Natural Resources Management Permit will be required prior to any grading activities. Elevation Drawings: It appears the bank building will be constructed from face brick and decorative concrete block; additional information will be needed for the building materials. Care should be taken to ensure the building is maintenance free. The trash enclosure must also be constructed of the same materials as the building. Structures are added to help give the building better visibility. A tall entryway element is shown on the southeast corner of the building. In addition, a structure that appears to have windows and a roof is shown constructed over the drive-thru lanes. The petitioner has been asked to provide an example of this building design so that photographs may be taken of the building in a site context. Landscape Plan: The zoning code requires that the costs of live landscaping materials (excluding sod) equal or exceed 2'/2% the cost of the building materials. The applicant must supply the building costs and landscaping costs as part of the building permit application. The applicant may not be able to meet the landscaping requirements due to the size of the site and the shared parking lot. It may be necessary to add benches and other site amenities and hardscape to meet the landscaping requirements. Availability of Municipal Utilities: All utilities are available to the site, and connections are shown to the bank building. The bank must provide on-site storage for the first 1 /2 inch of any rainfall event. A rain garden is shown on the northeast corner of the site, but it encroaches into the Cedar Avenue Right-of-Way, which is prohibited. Additional stormwater retention is provided via an underground stormwater storage. Impervious surface calculations should be supplied with the formal application for additional review by the City Engineer. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The proposed bank site shares a driveway with the church. There is some modification to the existing driveway and a 22-foot two-way driveway is shown. This is 2 feet less than the 24 feet required by the Code for a two-lane driveway. A traffic circulation review is needed to ensure there are no conflicts between the uses. The church and the proposed youth center could generate up to 1,057 vehicle trips on a Sunday, and the bank could generate up to 55 vehicle trips per day (ITE Trip Generation Manual, 8 Edition). Local streets have a design capacity of 1,000-3,000 vehicle trips per day. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalks are shown on the north and east sides of the lot, and a plaza area connects to the trail along Cedar Avenue. Dakota County must approve the encroachment into the Cedar Avenue Right- of-Way. An additional connection to the sidewalk on 142 Street may be desired to ensure the site is consistent with all BRTOD plans for the Cedar Avenue corridor. Public Safety Issues: None identified at this time. Recreation Issues: Parkland dedication or cash-in-lieu of land is required for the subdivision of the property. Signs: A ground sign is shown in the Cedar Avenue Right-of-Way, which is prohibited by both the City Code and Dakota County. Any signs associated with the proposed bank must be on the property. Building signs are limited to one sign per side. Signs and/or sign structures are not included in building permit authorization approval. A sign permit will be required prior to the installation of any building or ground signs. No signs, either temporary or permanent, may be installed prior to the issuance of a City permit. MIKE KRAFT ARCHITECTS December 28, 2015 Ms. Kathy Bodmer City of Apple Valley 7100 147 Street W. Apple Valley, MN 55124 Re: TCF Bank Proposed New Branch Bank Building at Mount Olivet Church Cedar Avenue and 142n St. West Apple Valley, Minnesota Dear Ms. Bodmer: 1442 98ni LANE NW COON RAPIDS, MN 612-309-6002 MIKE@MIKEKRAFTARCHITECTS.COM Thank you for taking the time to meet with us regarding the proposed new TCF Bank branch at Cedar Avenue and 142n Street West. TCF Bank and Mount Olivet Assembly of God intend to subdivide the church's property to create a parcel at the intersection for a new branch bank. At this time we are requesting a sketch plan review at the January 6, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. PROJECT DESCRIPTION With the increase in electronic banking, customers are making fewer visits to their bank. Despite this change in banking habits, customers (including Millennials) continue to value the opportunity to visit their bank for both drive-up services and face-to-face meetings. The proposed building is compact, providing full banking services in an efficient footprint of only 2,200 square feet. The site will include two lanes for drive-up teller service and one drive-up ATM. There will be 7 new parking spaces, with a shared parking agreement between the two property owners. The site will relate to 142n Street and Cedar Avenue with gracious sidewalk connections, accommodations for bicycles and abundant landscaping. TCF Bank has recently launched a new brand image, including a bright, animated logo appealing to the Millennial Generation of customers. The building exterior is designed with brick, glass and prefinished metal in colors to recall the established image of TCF Bank, while shedding the colonial look to reflect this updated brand, and a new approach to delivering bank services. A tall entry tower and substantial drive-up canopy structure will provide height and energy to this small building, while concealing rooftop equipment. We look forward to discussing this exciting project with the Planning Commission on January 6. If you have any questions or comments regarding any part of this request, please feel free to call. I look forward to working with you on this project. Sincerely, - 1 1 (VQAA Michael F.
