PUBLIC HEARINGS CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 3, 2016 A. Apple Ford Lincoln Quick Lane Addition C.U.P. — Public hearing to consider conditional use permit to allow an approximately 3,200 sq. ft. Quick Lane building addition that results in combined width of garage doors exceeding more than 50% of the length of the south building elevation facing a public street in the "PD-541" (Planned Development) zoning district. (PC16-01-C) LOCATION: 7200 150th Street West PETITIONER: Apple Ford Lincoln Apple Valley CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2016 Page 2 of 4 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. Planner Kathy Bodmer stated Apple Ford Lincoln wishes to construct a 3,200 sq. ft. addition on the southwest side of the building for Quick Lane service bays. The addition includes six drive-thru service bays entering from the west and exiting on the east side of the addition. Six drive-in service bays would also be constructed on the south side of the addition. The building addition will add three overhead garage bay doors to the west, three to the east and three to the south elevations. The site is located within PD-541 which requires a CUP in order to construct a building elevation with garage doors exceeding 50% of its length visible to a public street; the 50% requirement is exceeded on the south elevation and is visible from 152nd Street W. The door width requirement is met on the other elevations. The property is zoned Planned Development No. 541 (PD-541) which was established specifically for auto dealerships and repair facilities. The Planned Development has stringent performance standards to ensure any auto use would be compatible with the City's downtown. The planned development contains the door width restriction to help ensure the buildings are not dominated by garage doors. In order to exceed the 50% requirement, the property owner must obtain a conditional use permit. The City Council must find that special architectural treatment of the bay doors or elevation containing the doors has occurred which softens, camouflages, or minimizes the appearance of the doors from the public street. Internal circulation within the site will also be revised to help direct traffic flow between the dealership and the maintenance areas of the site. While traffic circulation is improved, pedestrian circulation is reduced. The plans should be revised to provide pedestrian access to the building from the public sidewalks abutting the site. The petitioner indicates that as a result of the Quick Lane addition project, 19 parking spaces will be lost on the site. The petitioner indicates the spaces will be display spaces, not customer or staff parking spaces. The petitioner states that any display space lost on site will require storage at their off-site storage property in Shakopee. It should be noted, however, that currently Ford employees are parking along 152nd Street and Gallivant Place. The daily on-street parking impacts snow removal and visibility at intersections in the area. The City will be constructing a parking lot in the Central Village and some of the spaces are expected to be leased by Ford for employee parking. Staff is concerned that the loss of 19 parking spaces on the site may result in additional need for on- street parking. Staff recommends that a condition of approval of the CUP will be submission of a Parking and Inventory Management Plan that addresses how inventory and parking will be managed on the site to reduce the need for daily on-street parking. Commissioner Alwin asked if parking along 152nd Street and Gallivant Place was legal on-street parking and if there were any restrictions during snow plowing operations. Ms. Bodmer answered yes, that parking there was legal but there were conditions during snowplowing operations. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2016 Page 3 of4 Commissioner Alwin asked what kind of visibility concerns there were and if there were any ordinance violations. He had concerns for going over and beyond in a conditional use permit and allowing on- street parking when the street is owned by the City. He felt it was a bit of an overreach. Ms. Bodmer answered that one visibility concern she experienced was that some of the vehicles were full sized pickup trucks and with that extra height they get too close to the intersection. Commissioner Alwin had concerns for how parking was to be reduced and was concerned about restricting on- street parking as related to the structure. Ms. Bodmer said it is the City's expectation for a parking lot /ramp that could hold employee parking for businesses in the downtown area and that the expectation would be that employees would use that lot and free up the parking on the street. Parking on the street is not a violation of the ordinance but the fact that the vehicles are parked there day after day has created a burden on that part of the City. The City expects businesses to have parking for employees on their own site. Commissioner Scanlan expressed concern for the loss of 19 parking spaces. He felt the design did not meet with the Planned Development that is in place. He inquired about pedestrian crossing and a lighting plan for safety concerns. He felt there were a number of issues that still needed to be worked through before the Commission were ready to vote on it. Commissioner Diekmann asked if the parking requirements are based on the building size and what were the parking requirements. He felt there should be enough parking on -site for their employees and parking needs to be looked at if they will be losing 19 spaces. Ms. Bodmer commented that would need to be looked at. Darwin Lindahl, Architect with Darwin Lindahl Architects, said the 19 spaces eliminated are display area and not employee /customer parking. They would really be gaining customer parking. Referring to the total length of garage door length on the south side elevation, he felt they were right at the 50 percent or even a little less. He added that they could do striping and lighting for pedestrian use. Ms. Bodmer said there was a conflict in interpretation of the blank wall by the petitioner versus the blank wall by staff. Commissioner Scanlan commented that the design does not meet the planned development and was there a way to meet the requirements. He questioned if this was the best design. Chris Gulbrandson, Apple Valley Ford, commented that the quick lane area creates obstruction for traffic. Insurance does not allow for inventory to be parked off -site. They are working with other businesses to allow employee parking on their sites. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes February 3, 2016 Page 4 of 4 Chair Melander said he was not as concerned about the 50 percent of the elevation as he is on the parking solution and that parking needs to be looked at. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS --NONE-- 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. Review of upcoming schedule and other updates.

Respectfully Submitted, ti,LAt L/Gt/ Murphy, Planning epartm J t Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on PROJECT NAME: 7525 147 Street West Retail Building Setback Variance Amendments PROJECT DESCRIPTION A request for amendments to existing building setback variances to allow for construction of a 7,512 sq. ft. retail building on .92 acres. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: 7525 Cedar, LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC 16 -06 -V APPLICATION DATE: 60 DAYS: 120 DAYS: February 8, 2016 April 7, 2016 June 6, 2016 City of Apple Valley Proposed Action ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending the following: 4A February 17, 2016 Consent Item 1. Approve amending a building setback variance of 16 feet to 17 feet from the required building setback of 50 feet from Cedar Avenue for a 7,512 -sq. ft. retail building on Lot 4, Block 3, VALLEY COMMERCIAL PARK 1ST ADDITION. 2. Approve amending a building setback variance of 16 feet to 45 feet from the required building setback of 50 feet from Cedar Avenue for the south 5 feet of the east elevation of a 7,512 -sq. ft. retail building on Lot 4, Block 3, VALLEY COMMERCIAL PARK 1ST ADDITION. 3. Approve amending an existing building setback variance of 10 feet to 25 feet from the required building setback of 40 feet from 147 Street West for a 7,512 -sq. ft. retail building on Lot 4, Block 3, VALLEY COMMERCIAL PARK 1ST ADDITION. Project Summary /Issues On December 10, 2015, the City Council approved a resolution to allow for the construction of a 7,512 sq. ft. retail building on .92 acres subject to conditions, which included two building setback variances. A 16 -foot setback variance to Cedar Avenue and a l0 -foot setback variance to 147th Street West were approved. The variances were approved due to practical difficulties created by addition of drainage, utility and trail easements after the platting of the property, which precludes the normal utilization of the property in the same fashion as other similar properties. During the preparation of construction drawings for submittal it was found that the dimensions on the drawings originally submitted used to calculate building setback did not correctly reflect the building setback from the lot's property lines and amendments to the variances were needed to ensure compliance. The applicant's revised drawings provide an accurate dimension of the building from the lot's property lines. They show the building being set back 15 -20 feet from the 147 Street West property line and 33 feet from the property line along Cedar Avenue, with the exception of the south five feet of the east wall of the building, which is located five from the property line. Therefore, they need a 25 -foot variance from the required setback along 147 Street West and a 17 -foot variance for a majority of the east elevation from the required setback along Cedar Avenue. A 45 -foot variance from the required 50 -foot building setback along Cedar Avenue is being requested for the south five feet of the east elevation. This is at a location where the property line extends 30 feet west to accommodate the streetscape amenities that were installed as part of the Cedar Avenue reconstruction project. The applicant has not changed the building's location from what was originally proposed, and the proposed variance amendments will not change any other approvals that were part of the initial request. The purpose of the variance amendment requests is to correctly describe and memorialize the variances as initially submitted, but inadvertently not clearly dimensioned on the original plans.

STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: City of Apple Valley PROJECT NUMBER: PC 16 -02 -Z City of App VaIiey ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5A February 17, 2016 Public Hearing Action Requested Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing to the March 16, 2016, meeting. Project Summary /Issues City staff initiated a request for an proposed amendment to the approved maximum 20% building coverage requirement set forth in Planned Development 342 /zone 1 after staff become aware of a problem of a resident living in the Scottsbriar residential development who submitted a building permit application recently for a small addition to his existing dwelling unit. During the review of the building permit application, staff became aware that the existing structure exceeded the maximum 20% building coverage allowed in the planned development zoning district. Preliminary research of properties in the development found that there might be other properties that may be very close or may exceed the current allowable maximum building coverage in the planned development zoning district. Generally, the normal course of action for a property owner in a standard typical zoning district would be 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. Any amendment to the maximum building coverage requirement 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. Additional time is needed to complete its research and analysis for this proposed amendment request. Therefore, staff is requesting that the public hearing be continued to the March 15, 2016, Planning Commission meeting. PROJECT NAME: Cobblestone Retail II Building PROJECT DESCRIPTION Request for approval of a zoning amendment to allow for a drive -up window in conjunction with a restaurant, a replat of an outlot into a lot, and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 6,288 -sq. ft. retail building on a .98 -acre lot. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT /DIVISION: Community Development Department APPLICANT: Bear Cobblestone 2, LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC16-04-ZFB APPLICATION DATE: January 20, 2016 60 DAYS: March 19, 2016 120 DAYS: May 18, 2016 City of Apple VaIIey ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5B February 17, 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 proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. No amendment is required. The proposed use is consistent with the rezoning, with the exception of the request for a drive -up window for a proposed restaurant. Staff has concerns about allowing this, which may open the door for allowing freestanding restaurants with drive -up windows. A way to prevent that would be to allow drive -up windows in conjunction with a restaurant subject to the following condition that they be located in a multi - tenant building, occupy no more than 50% of a multi - tenant building and not exceed 3,000 sq. ft. in building area. The proposed project will share parking and access with the lot to the north, which has two additional driveways and 55 parking spaces. Access and parking will be sufficient to serve both properties. There is a shared access and parking agreement among all properties within the Cobblestone Lake Commercial development, which allows for additional access drives and parking for the proposed project. The planned development ordinance requires that parking lots with fifteen (15) or more parking spaces shall provide for parking for bicycles adjacent to the front of the building at a location that will not impede use of any sidewalk. The applicant shall identify a bike rack location. The site plan does not identify the location of a trash enclosure to serve the site. The applicant will need to provide information on if they will store trash in the building or outside. If it is stored outside, it shall be stored and screened within a trash enclosure constructed of the same material as the building. The City Engineer has reviewed the drive -up lane design and has concern about the ability of a garbage truck or commercial vehicle maneuvering in and out especially with any vehicle staking. He is recommending that the drive -up lane be modified to prevent vehicle conflicts. The submitted landscape plan identifies a wide and diverse variety of plantings. Staff has reviewed the landscape plan and is recommending that a better mix of deciduous trees be planted and that additional landscaping be added along the south and east side of the property to help screen the drive - up lane from the adjacent public roadways and gathering areas. The majority of storm water runoff will be collected in a storm sewer line that will collect runoff from the site and transport to the north via a connection to an existing line. This existing line connects to the storm water line and underground infiltration system in the Target parking lot. A portion of the site's storm water will be collected via pipes that will connect to sewer lines in the 157 Street West right -of -way. Infiltration of runoff directed into the lines in 157 Street West shall be required. The building elevation plan identifies an area for signage, but no formal; sign application has been submitted with this request. All signage shall conform to City's sign ordinance and special performance standards set forth in Planned Development Ordinance No. 703.

The commercial designation includes a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses that vary in intensity and off -site impacts. The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map designation. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map Designation "C" (Commercial) Zoning: The property is zone Planned Development No. 703 /zone 6. Identified uses in zone 6 include a wide variety of retail, restaurants, professional offices, educational tutoring services, convenience stores, apartments, and continuum of care facilities. The proposed retail building is consistent with the current zoning with exception of the applicant's request for restaurant drive -up window. The planned development ordinance currently does not allow restaurants to have drive- up windows. The applicant is proposing a restaurant in the east 3,000 sq. ft. of building and is requesting an amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for drive -up window in conjunction with that restaurant facility. City staff worked collaboratively with the property owner and developer with the preparation of the planned development ordinance for the commercial /retail area. Restaurant uses with drive -up windows was purposely left out of the ordinance. Staff has concerns about allowing freestanding restaurants with drive -up windows. A way to avoid that would be to allow drive -up windows in conjunction with a restaurant subject to the following conditions: 1. The restaurant shall be located in a multi - tenant building. 2. The restaurant shall occupy no more than 50% of a multi - tenant building and shall not exceed 3,000 sq. ft. in building area. Zoning Map "PD- 703 /zone 6 (Planned Development) Final Plat: The subject property is currently platted as an outlot. An outlot is defined as a platted lot to be developed for a use that will not involve a building or be reserved for future replatting before development. The applicant is requesting approval of the replat of the outlot into a platted lot for constructing a retail building and associated surface parking. Site Plan: The site plan indicates the construction of a 6,288 -sq. ft. commercial /retail building and 48 surface parking spaces on a .98 -acre lot. Direct access to the site will be via existing drive lanes that intersect with 157 Street West. No direct vehicular access to a public street is proposed. Two driveways are located along the west side of the subject property, which will provide access to and from 157 Street West. This site will share parking and access with the lot to the north, which has two additional driveways and 55 parking spaces. Access and parking will be sufficient to serve both properties. There is a shared access and parking agreement among all properties within the Cobblestone Lake Commercial development, which allows for additional access drives and parking for the proposed project. The original Cobblestone Lake Commercial development master plan showed a 4,555 -sq. ft. restaurant building and 48 surface parking spaces. The proposed building will be 1,733 sq. ft. larger and the number of parking spaces will be the same. It does not appear that the increase in building will have an adverse impact on the overall development. The planned development ordinance requires that parking lots with fifteen (15) or more parking spaces shall provide for parking for bicycles adjacent to the front of the building at a location that will not impede use of any sidewalk. The applicant shall identify a bike rack location. The site plan does not identify the location of a trash enclosure to serve the site. The applicant will need to provide information on if they will store trash in the building or outside. If it is stored outside, it shall be stored and screened within a trash enclosure constructed of the same material as the building. The drive -up window lane will be accessed from the west side of the building, traverse along the south and east side of the building and exit into the parking lot. The lane width will vary from 18 to 12 feet as you move through the lane. It allows vehicles to bypass the drive -up window stacking in the rear of the building; however, the lane width will decrease to 12 feet along the east side of the building, which may cause some backup. The City Engineer has reviewed the drive -up lane design and has concern about the ability of a garbage truck or commercial vehicle maneuvering in and out especially with any vehicle staking. He is recommending that the drive -up lane be modified to prevent vehicle conflicts. Grading Plan: The site has been graded as part of the mass grading of the Cobblestone Lake Commercial development. Therefore, minimal grading to accommodate the proposed building and parking lot will be needed prior to construction. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and has no major outstanding issues. Elevation Drawings: The elevation drawings indicate an exterior finish that will include a combination of face brick, stone veneer, cast stone, and stucco. The exterior materials and design are similar to the existing buildings in the commercial area, and in conformance with the performance standards set forth in the planned development ordinance. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan identifies a wide and diverse variety of plantings. Staff has reviewed the landscape plan and is recommending that a better mix of deciduous trees be planted and that additional landscaping be added along the south and east side of the property to help screen the drive -up lane from the adjacent public roadways and gathering areas. Revisions shall be made to the landscape plan per staff's comments and be submitted for staff approval. City code requires that the minimum cost of landscaping materials (live plant material excluding sod) for industrial projects shall be 21/2% of the estimated building construction cost based on Means construction data. A detailed planting price list shall be required for verification of the City's 2%2% landscaping requirement at the time of submission of plans for a building permit. Availability of Municipal Utilities: All necessary municipal utilities to serve the site will be available by means of service connections to existing water main and sanitary sewer lines located in Cobblestone Lake Parkway. The majority of storm water runoff will be collected in a storm sewer line that will collect runoff from the site and transport to the north via a connection to an existing line. This existing line connects to the storm water line and underground infiltration system in the Target parking lot. A portion of the site's storm water will be collected via pipes that will connect to sewer lines in the 157 Street West right -of -way. Infiltration of runoff directed into the lines in 157 Street West shall be required. The City Engineer has reviewed the utility plans and his comments are contained in the attached memo. Revisions shall be made to the utility plan per his comments. Pedestrian Access: The planned development ordinance calls for sidewalks in and throughout commercial areas, between buildings and across parking areas where appropriate. Sidewalks are currently located within the public rights -of -way along the south, east side of the property and along the east side of the private drive off 157 Street West. Sidewalks will be constructed in the front building, which will connect with the existing sidewalks and the plaza area located east of the building. Signs: The building elevation plan identifies an area for signage, but no formal; sign application has been submitted with this request. All signage shall conform to City's sign ordinance and special performance standards set forth in Planned Development Ordinance No. 703. 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.

(PC16-04-ZFB) Location: Northwest comer 157tb Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway Applicate: Bear Cobblestone 2, LLC Regards, Dave Labno 15695 Duck Pond Way Apple Valley Wednesday, February 17, 20I6 5:49 PM Lovelace, Tom Public Hearing Cobblestone Retail 11 Building As an 11 year resident of Cobblestone Lake, I can confidently tell you that a main selling point of the neighborhood going back to my property purchase in 2003 was the location and walkable style of the retail area . The CL concept is different from other areas such as Cedar and 42. The intent is to have the nei hborhood actively involved in the retail area, creating more of a walkable, family feel that supports families young and old. Lack of drive through traffic has long been a key point and the zoning guidelines reflect this. l'd like to see the unique nature of our development preserved and urge you to not approve a drive-in variance as it is opposed to the foundational ideas behind the zoning. 1
