5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Amendment to Planned Development Ordinance 342 /zone 1 — Public hearing to consider
amending the maximum building coverage for residential dwellings in zone 1 of Planned
Development No. 342. (PC16 -02 -Z)
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 142nd Street West
PETITIONER: City of Apple Valley
Vice -Chair Burke opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m.
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated that staff initiated a request for a 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.
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
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Dakota County, Minnesota
Planning Commission Minutes
February 17, 2016
Page 3 of 6
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 142nd Street West, along and west of Euclid Avenue, along
and north of 144th Street West, and east of Johnny Cake Ridge Road.
Mr. Lovelace commented additional time is needed to complete the research and analysis for this
proposed amendment request. Staff is requesting that the public hearing be continued to the March
16, 2016, Planning Commission meeting.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin, continuing the
public hearing to March 16, 2016. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0.
B. Cobblestone Retail II — Public hearing to consider approval of a final plat of an outlot,
zoning amendment to allow for a drive-up window in conjunction with a restaurant, and site
plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 6,288-sq. ft. retail building on a
.98-acre lot. (PC16-04-ZFB)
LOCATION: Northwest corner 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway
PETITIONER: Bear Cobblestone 2, LLC
Vice-Chair Burke opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m.
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated 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
proj ect.
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.
He stated the City Engineer had reviewed the drive -up lane design and had concern about the ability
of a garbage truck or commercial vehicle maneuvering in and out especially with any vehicle
staking. Recommendation was that the drive -up lane be modified to prevent vehicle conflicts. He
reviewed the site plan, landscape plan, utility plan and building elevation plan
Commissioner Alwin commented he did not see on the rendering the menu board and how that
might affect the queuing of the cars in the lane.
Mr. Lovelace said that would be looked at through the sign ordinance as to the size and location of
the menu board.
Commissioner Scanlan asked for a history of why there were not drive -up lanes in the Cobblestone
Lake Development area.
Mr. Lovelace replied that it was because of making the Cobblestone Lake development a walkable
neighborhood type and commercial entity of part of the overall 320 -acre development and trying to
discourage the kind of conflicts with drive -up windows as it relates to walkability and pedestrian
friendly.
Commissioner Scanlan asked if Pizza Ranch requested a drive -up window.
Mr. Lovelace did not believe they did and said they were asking for a pick -up location if customers
ordered ahead of time.
Commissioner Scanlan inquired as to when Edina Realty was developed and that took away the
original plan for the park in that corner and how does that relate to what was originally conceived in
terms of size in configuration.
Mr. Lovelace answered that he would have to look back at that.
Commissioner Scanlan commented that he feels the drive -up lane disrupts that whole space where
you have a circle area that is a seating area and there would be cars driving right by with exhaust
fumes. He did not feel it was realistic that people would want to sit there with vehicles driving by.
He also had concern for where the take -out window would be with the proximity to the park area.
He questioned what kind of sound travel there would be for the two recently approved single - family
residential home locations on the west side of Cobblestone Lake. He expressed concern of
approving a drive -up window in this commercial area and if that would be opening the door for
additional requests in the future. He would like to see the development retain curbside pick -up
rather than drive -up windows which were never the design of the original concept for Cobblestone
Lake.

Commissioner Diekmann asked for clarification of PD -703, zone 6 and what areas of commercial it
entailed.
Mr. Lovelace described the surrounding zoning and said there was the opportunity to rezone some
properties.
Scott Nelson, architect with DJR, provided additional information and addressed how trash would
be removed.
Vice -Chair Burke asked what the distance was between the drive lane and the outdoor seating area.
Mr. Nelson answered about four feet.
Terry Jennings, Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill, described their restaurant operation.
Commissioner Diekmann asked Mr. Jennings if he could explain the operation of the drive -thru and
if there was a menu board or call ahead order.
Mr. Jennings replied that customers place orders both on -line or drive -thru order board.
Technology has changed how orders are placed. The drive -thru is also used for the orders placed
on -line.
Commissioner Scanlan expressed concern that from the architectural side the Cobblestone
Development was built around walkability for residents and he does not feel a drive -thru fits in with
the original concept of the neighborhood. He believes a compromise would be to use the same
delivery features and use the same model as with Pizza Ranch and have dedicated parking for
people that can pull up and walk in to get their items versus having the disruption with a drive -thru
and with the park area that has the component that has been a feature with this development from
the very beginning. He asked for that to be taken into consideration.
Mr. Jennings said he understands the scope of the vision and the planning that went in to develop
Cobblestone has resulted in a neighborhood that is extremely convenient for the residents of the
neighborhood and those that visit. He suggested that as a development evolves, it needs to keep
pace with the comfort, convenience and safety of those people that are frequenting the businesses.
They have found that is a primary concern for the people using the drive -thru not at the exclusion of
the people who want to walk but making the opportunity for the people that want to use the drive -
thru. He said their decision is not being driven by the fact that this is a drive -thru opportunity but
feel it is a viable market with or without the drive -thru. The added level of convenience and what
they have found it does for their guests is part of what makes him believe that it would give them
the highest possibility and potential for success as they initially launch into the market. They are
trying to put their very best foot forward for their customers and the potential customers that might
be at Cobblestone.
Mr. Lovelace read a comment he received from Dave Labno, 15695 Duck Pond Way, that he would
like to see the unique nature of their development preserved and urge the Commission to not
approve a drive-in variance as it is opposed to the foundational ideas behind the zoning.

Project Summary /Issues
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. Staff is proposing that the amendment
include certain restrictions and requirements to ensure that it will not be detrimental to the character
of the development.
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 be required to install a bike rack in front
of building.
The site plan does not identify the location of a trash enclosure to serve the site. The applicant has
stated that they will store trash in the building.
The applicant has modified the drive -up lane to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The original landscape plan identified a wide and diverse variety of plantings. Staff reviewed the
original plan, recommended 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 applicant has submitted a revised plan
that addresses staff's concerns.
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

Location Map
Comprehensive Plan: The outlot is currently guided "C" (Commercial). 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 not included as a use the planned development ordinance. The reasoning for the
exclusion was the concern over the impact that a freestanding Class II restaurant with a drive -up
window could have on the character of the proposed commercial development.
This property is located in a planned development, which provides greater flexibility in
establishing specific performance standards that can address potential impacts to uses within the
zoning district. Staff initially proposed establishing requirements that would allow the location of
a Class II restaurant with a drive -up window to a multi - tenant building only and limiting the size to
no more than 50% of a multi - tenant building and a maximum 3,000 sq. ft. in building area.
From the discussion at the Feb. 17 meeting, staff is proposing the additional requirements that
would allow only one restaurant with a drive -up window in planned development, limit the hours
of operation, number of menu boards and drive -up lanes; and require the installation of additional
screening elements adjacent to the drive -up lane.
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 ublic street is proposed.
p p p
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 off a private drive that intersects with Cobblestone Lake Parkway, 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
has indicated that trash will be stored trash in 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 original plan indicated that
the lane width would vary from 18 to 12 feet as you move through the lane. It would allow
vehicles to bypass the drive -up window stacking in the rear of the building. The City Engineer
reviewed the drive -up lane design and expressed his concern about the ability of a garbage truck
or commercial vehicle maneuvering in and out especially with any vehicle staking. He
recommended that the drive -up lane be modified to prevent vehicle conflicts.
The applicant has increased the width of the driveway along the west side of the building from 18
to 20 feet and has modified the curb radiuses. The City Engineer has reviewed the revisions and is
generally comfortable with the changes.
The original plans did not identify the location of the menu board. The revised plans show a 5 -ft. x
5 -ft. menus board that will be affixed to the south elevation. It will be located approximately 30
feet east of the southwest corner of the building.
The original plan indicated that the plaza would be approximately 2.5 feet from the drive -up lane.
The applicant will be relocating the plaza east 7.5 feet, adding landscaping, and a pergola.
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 original landscape plan identified a wide and diverse variety of plantings.
Staff reviewed the landscape plan and recommended 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 revised plan has added plantings along the south and east side of the property, reduced the
number of autumn blaze maples and greenspire lindens.
City code requires that the minimum cost of landscaping materials (live plant material excluding
sod) for industrial projects shall be 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 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 reviewed the utility plans and provided comments in his attached memo,
dated February 11, 2016. Revisions shall be made to the utility plan per his comments prior to
issuance of a building permit.
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

Public Hearing Cobblestone Retail II Building
Tom,
I'm unable to attend the public meeting tonight but wanted to write in opposition to the window
variance proposed for the following project:
Project Name: Cobblestone Retail II Building
Item: 5B
Cobblestone Retail 11 — Public hearing to consider approval of a final plat of an outlot, zoning amendment to
allow for a window in conjunction vvitho restaurant, and site pl to
allow for construction of a 6,288-sq. ft. retail building on a .98-acre lot. (PC16-04-ZFB)
Location: Northwest corner 1 57th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway
Applicate: Bear Cobblestone 2, LLC
Asanl1yearresidentofCobb|estoneLake,|canconfidentk/teUyoutha1ameinseUingpointofthene' hborhood going
back to my property purchase in 2003 was the Iocation and walkable style of the retail area . The CL concept is
different from other areas such as Cedar and 42. The ntent is to have the neighborhood 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. I'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.
Regards,
Dave Labno

FROM: Brandon Anderson, City Engineer
DATE: February 11, 2016
SUBJECT: Cobblestone Retail 11
Tom, following is comments on the Cobblestone Retail II site plan dated January 20, 2016. Please
include these comments as conditions to approval.
General
Site
• All work within City right of way shall require a right of way permit and be constructed in
accordance with City of Apple Valley standards. Apple Valley standard detail plates shall
be included where applicable.
� No construction shall begin prior to a pre-construction conference with a City Public
Works representative.
• A Natural Resources Management Permit will be required prior to mass site grading.
O Given the radius required to maneuver the drive through and service lane as proposed, a
garbage truck or commercial vehicle will have a difficult time maneuvering in and out
especially with any vehicle staking. The drive through lane should be modified to prevent
vehicle conflicts.
® Additional screening along south elevation is required
Storm Drainage and Grading
MEMO
Public Works Department
• Storm sewer infiltration for the entire site was designed to occur in the existing
underground infiltration system installed with the construction of Target. In order to utilize
this system all site runoff must be directed north to tie into the existing internal storm sewer
system. Should runoff be directed to the storm sewer infrastructure in 157' Street
infiltration of the runoff will be required per the surface water management plan.
• Include the Overall site composite Curve Number (CN) for the development on the
Grading Plan
Utilities
• Identify all EOF's on the Grading and Drainage Plan c3-1 to ensure FFE maintains 1.0'
of freeboard.
Erosion Control
• Street sweeping shall be provided should tracking occur during construction.
• Rock construction entrance is not indicated on the proposed plan. Construction access
shall only occur at designated site access.
• The fire and domestic water shall be split outside the building; each shall have their own
shutoff. Indicate correct size of services on drawing.
