PUBLIC HEARINGS --NONE-- 5. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. Kudrle Front Yard Setback Variance - PC 17-27-V Consider a 5' Setback Variance for a Porch Location: 15726 Hemlock Ct Petitioner: Iron River Construction Planner/Economic Development Specialist Alex Sharpe stated Iron River Construction, on behalf of Kyle Kudrle, the property owner of 15726 Hemlock Ct. has requested consideration of a 5' front setback variance to construct a front porch. City code requires a 30' front setback in the "R-3" (Single Family Residential) zone. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 6, 2017 Page 2 of 4 Staff is recommending approval of the variance due to the following practical difficulties: 1. The lot is irregularly shaped, with the curvature of the cul-de-sac being the limiting factor for the setback. 2. If the front porch were constructed without a roof it would be architecturally incompatible with the home and the neighborhood. Staff reviews variance applications based strictly upon the requirements of the state statutes and the City Code which require that the applicant establish that there are practical difficulties present in order for a variance to be granted, and that logical alternatives are not available. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of a 5' front yard setback variance to construct a front porch with the following conditions: 1. The variance shall be applicable to the property legally identified as Lot 30, Block 3, Longridge 2nd Addition. 2. If the building permit fee is not paid and not issued or within one (1) year of the date of approval, the variance approval shall lapse. 3. The property owner shall identify and mark the front property line prior to the issuance of a building permit. Ayes -6 -Nays -0. B. Cedar Park Elementary Improvements — PC17-30-B Consideration of Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization for 9,880 sq. ft. Building Additions and New Bus Drop-off/Pick-up Lot. Location: 7500 Whitney Drive (Southwest Corner of Cedar Ave and Whitney Dr.) Petitioner: Independent School District 196 Planner Kathy Bodmer reviewed the request by ISD 196 for consideration of Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization to construct two building additions and parking and circulation improvements. The two additions include a 4 -classroom addition of 6,880 sq. ft. on the west side of the building and an office/front entrance addition of approximately 3,000 sq. ft. on the east side of the building. A new bus loop and parking area is proposed to be constructed on the west side of the building to separate bus circulation from parent pick-up and drop-off activities. Access to the site will be modified by removing the two existing drive entrances off of Whitney Drive and placing a single drive access in the middle of where the existing drives are located today. She said the City Engineer recommends that the driveway be shifted to the location of the west existing driveway, because it will remove a decision point and allow for smoother circulation through the site. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 6, 2017 Page 3 of 4 ISD 196 is in the process of upgrading most of the District schools to provide enhanced building and site security. Many of the schools will have the front entrance modified to provide a secure entry to the building. At the same time, in several cases, classrooms are also being added. Lastly, where room is available on the site, the District is separating bus traffic circulation from parent traffic circulation within the parking lot. The Cedar Park Elementary Improvements project involves all three elements. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of the Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization for 9,880 sq. ft. office and classroom additions and parking lot improvements at Cedar Park Elementary (7500 Whitney Drive), subject to compliance with all City Codes, and the following conditions: 1. The driveway access shall be moved to the west as recommended by the City Engineer. 2. A sidewalk connection shall be made from the sidewalk on the southwest side of the building to Cedar Ave. 3. A sidewalk connection shall be provided from the west parking area around the stormwater retention area to the playfields to the west. 4. The project is subject to review and approval of the final civil plans by the City Engineer at the time of application of the building permit. Ayes -6 -Nays -0. 6. OTHER BUSINESS A. Communities for a Lifetime - Presentation of Dakota County's Communities for a Lifetime Program and Apple Valley's Communities for a Lifetime Profile Jess Luce, Program Manager for the Communities for a Lifetime program with Dakota County Communities, provided an update on a profile completed on the City of Apple Valley. Dakota County Public Health is spearheading the Communities for a Lifetime program, which seeks to bring together residents, local businesses, community organizations, cities, and county staff to create networks of vital, accessible communities. Dakota County's Communities for a Lifetime Initiative is in the process of completing city profiles for the 11 major cities in Dakota County. The profiles highlight key components that demonstrate an age -friendly community, including a city's changing population data, housing performance score, types of housing, transit options, land use, walkability score and other indicators. City profiles are intended to be a resource and a strategic planning tool to assist cities in gauging their progress in becoming more age -friendly as they undertake their comprehensive guide planning process.

September20, 2017 Consent Agenda Description: Diamond Path Elementary Addition - PC 17-31-B Staff Contact: Kathy Bodmer, Al CP, Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Independent School District 196 Applicant Date: 8/23/2017 60 Days: 10/21/2017 Project Number: PCI7-31-B 120 Days: 12/20/2017 ACTION REQUESTED: Recommend approval of the Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization for construction of a 6,700 sq. ft. building addition and revised bus and vehicle parking areas, subject to compliance with all City codes and the following conditions: 1. The civil plans including grading, drainage, utilities and storm water management are subject to final review and approval of the City Engineer prior to issuance of the building permit. 2. A 12' paved turn lane shall be constructed on the south side of 144th Street as shown on C1.21 (Site Plan). 3. The petitioner shall dedicate right-of-way or provide an easement to relocate sidewalk south of the new turn lane on the south side of 144th Street. 4. A nursery bid list shall be submitted at the time of application of the building permit that verifies that the value of the landscape plantings meets or exceeds 2-1/2% of the value of the construction of the addition. 5. The landscape plan, including infiltration basin plantings, are subject to final review and approval by the Natural Resources Coordinator. 6. The petitioner shall provide the following agreements: 1. Design Agreement (for design of public infrastructure). 2. Private Installation Agreement (for installation of public infrastructure by ISD 169 contractor. 3. Infiltration Maintenance Agreement (to ensure the long-term maintenance of the infiltration basins. SUMMARY: ISD 196 requests consideration of Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization to construct a 6,700 sq. ft. building addition on the south side of the building for four additional classrooms. The new classrooms are constructed to replace four classrooms that will be converted to front office space to create a new secure front entrance. The existing parking lot on the east side of the building would be modified to separate bus traffic from parent pick-up and drop-off traffic with parents using the north lot and buses using the modified south lot. The site access would be modified to create four lanes: a passenger vehicle entrance lane, a bus entrance lane, a left turn west bound exit lane and a right turn east bound exit lane. A 12' wide right turn lane or "refuge lane" is added to the shoulder of the south side of 144th Street to allow for off-street queuing of parent vehicles. This will be constructed as part of a public project. An existing landscape area in the parking lot would be removed to reconfigure the bus loop area. Because impervious surface area is being added to the site, the District is constructing storm water retention areas. The City does not have a parking requirement for elementary schools. Staff has used a recommended parking formula that would require one space for every four students and one space for every three employees, which results in a total of 218 spaces required; 111 spaces are available on site; 29 parking spaces could be added on the west side of the site to bring the total number of parking spaces up to 140 if needed in the future. The School District's architect provided a letter (attached) that analyzes parking demand at the site. The School District states that the City's parking calculation is very high compared to neighboring communities. Staff is comfortable with the number of parking spaces provided based on the analysis. BACKGROUND: ISD 196 is in the process of upgrading most of the District schools to provide enhanced building and site security. Many of the schools will have front entrance additions and/or remodeling to provide a secure entry to the building. At the same time, in several cases, classrooms are also being added. Lastly, where room is available on the site, the District is separating bus traffic circulation from parent traffic circulation within the parking lot. The Diamond Path Improvement project involves a classroom addition, remodel of the front office and modifications to the parking area.

Anderson, City Engineer DATE: September 14, 2017 SUBJECT: Diamond Path Elementary School Addition Final Plat Alex, The following are comments regarding the Diamond Path Elementary School Addition site plans dated August 23, 2017. Please include these items as conditions to approval. General 1. All work and infrastructure within public easements or right of way shall be to City standards. 2. All work and infrastructure within public easements or right of way shall be to City standards. A public improvement project will be required for work in 144th Street. 3. Additional Right of Way or Trail and Sidewalk Easement will be required for the additional turn lane and sidewalk relocation along 144th St W. 4. Provide a narrative of how the buildings will be constructed and any impacts prior to building permit authorization. The narrative shall include the following: a. Shoring (if applicable) b. Material Storage. c. Haul routes to and from the site. d. Phasing Permits 5. Provide a copy of the executed Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Met Council, Department of Labor and any other required permits. 6. A right of way permit will be required for all work within public easements or right of way. 7. A Natural Resource Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land disturbing activity commences. Site 8. Plans should be updated to reflect City Project scope of work in 144th Street. 9. Stop signs should be provided at driveways leaving the site and indicated on plans. 10. Additional directional striping is recommended in the parking lot and drive lanes to better direct parent drop off/pick up routing and bus routes. Include striping and signage details on site plan. 11. Provide additional dimensions on site plan indicating radiuses, drive lane widths, etc... 12. Provide additional drawing showing Auto tum turning movements to verify site circulation and layout requirements for planned vehicle usage to be used onsite. Please indicate (or show vehicle) stacking distances on the plan as circulation indicates potential for vehicles to back up onto public roadways at exit and entrance access' to the site. Show truck movement with Auto turn entering site to ensure emergency and service vehicle can maneuver directly to front entrance. 13. It appears that the buses in the proposed bus parking area will be required to back out. Consider re -striping to allow for a single lane bypass in front of the buses along the curb to allow vehicles to pass while buses are onsite and to allow more room for buses to pull forward and not back up. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control 14. Final Grading Plans shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. 15. Provide clarity on which C1.31 plan sheet is being referenced in the plan set. 16. Additional details are required to indicate how drainage will be directed to proposed infiltration areas. Pre-treatment is required. 17. Final Storm water Management Plan shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. 18. Erosion control measures shall be installed prior to beginning grading operations. 19. Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site. 20. The location and elevation of the site emergency overflow(s) (EOF) shall be identified on the plans. All critical HP and LP shall be identified along with drainage arrows. 21. 2% minimum grades are required in all landscaped areas. 22. Provide the overall site composite Curve Number (CN) along with the impervious % on the area tabulation 23. Lowest floor levels shall be 1.0' above the EOF. 24. Soil borings/testing shall be provided in the area of infiltration features prior to building permit authorization. Sanitary Sewer, Water Main and Storm Sewer 25. Final locations and sizes of Sanitary & Storm Sewer and Water main shall be reviewed with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer. 26. Remove references to unused detail plates from sheets C2.11- C2.13. Landcape and Natural Resources 27. Restoration/Landscape plan should indicate required buffers and appropriate seed mixtures for infiltration area, aquatic bench and upland areas associated with any storm water basins. 28. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line. 29. No major tree plantings shall be located over any underground utilities. Clusters of trees shall be used near or around these areas instead of planting in a row. The Drainage and Utility Easement will require clearance around the underground utilities, or the expectation that trees may have to be removed for access when needed. 30. Sediment controls should be around the entire basin and not through the basin to provide adequate protection during construction. Sediment controls placed at the base of infiltration basin slopes without erosion control on the basin slopes themselves is inadequate protection from sedimentation and clogging of the basin and does not comply with state or local standards. 31. Silt fence would provide more protection from equipment driving through the basin and improper material storage in the basin than sediment logs. 32. The City recommends changing the grass plantings in the basin to taller native plants or shrubs. It is not clear what the intended design of the infiltration basin is from the proposed plans. Redundant details have been provided and needs to be clarified. 33. It is unclear that a mix of fescue will hold up to the conditions experienced within the basin. Additionally, mown grass tends to show more the sediment and trash collected in the basins over time. 34. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species. Some species appear on the Plant Schedule but not on the plan. 35. Some of the different details on the plans for the infiltration basins seem inconsistent. For example, some areas mention seeding, while others indicate the use of mulch (seed is unlikely to germinate with several inches of mulch covering it — that is part of the reason you use mulch — to guard against weeds germinating). 36. I would recommend against using seed to establish the basins. Seed provides a "fuzzier" less organized look for the basins. It makes it difficult to identify what is a weed and what is not. Shrubs are also a planting option for ease of maintenance. If seed is selected, a longer establishment maintenance schedule will be needed to keep the basin weed free and ensure vigorous growth; a year minimum after seeding is generally required. Also, timing for when seed will be installed will need to be indicated. There are certain times of year that installing native seed should be avoided. 37. Basins need to be kept off line (no water entering) until vegetation has been established. This timeline will be longer for seeded areas. 38. Staging of installation and protection of the area the basins are in needs more detail. 39. Shredded hardwood mulch should be used. Shredded hardwood much aids in the uptake of certain pollutants. Shredded hardwood mulch is better for plant health. Mulch should NOT be used if seeding; a blanket or hydro mulch should be used instead. 40. Absolutely no fabrics shall be installed in the basin: no protective weed barriers, no fabric over gravel around drain tile. Fabrics will clog will fine sediments. Socks around drain tile shall conform to Dakota County Low Impact Development Standard 2.44 p.7 http://www.dakotaswcd.org/pdfs/Dakota%20LID%20Standards%20Revised%2002-09- 12.pdf. 41. A 3 year Maintenance plan is required from the proposed filtration basins. a. The property owner shall maintain healthy plants suitable for use in raingardens throughout the raingarden. The property owner shall replace dead or diseased vegetation with plants capable of tolerating conditions encountered in the raingardens. b. The raingarden shall be kept free of non-native invasive plant species and noxious weeds, including buckthorn. c. The overall areas of the raingarden shall not be reduced during the maintenance term. d. The raingarden shall be watered such that it receives 1 inch of water per week combined from rain and other sources during the first growing season. e. Fertilizers shall not be applied to any part of the raingarden. f. Insecticides and fungicides shall only be applied when damage from non-native species is of concern. g. Herbicides shall be limited to spot applications. h. The property owner may remove dried vegetation once a year in the spring prior to May 30th if desired. i. The property owner shall maintain at minimum a three inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch for the maintenance term. j. The raingarden must drain free of water within 48 hours after a rainstorm except for in times of frozen soils. 42. The property owner is responsible for locating all utilities prior to installation. The owner shall only hand dig within 2 feet of utility markings. The raingardens shall not be installed over any utilities. 0 4 4 City of Apple11 MEMO Building Inspections TO: Kathy Bodmer, City Planner FROM: George Dom, Building Official DATE: August 25, 2017 SUBJECT: 14455 Diamond Path Diamond Path Elementary • Separate sign permits are required. • SAC determination is required from Met Council prior to permit issuance from the city. • Geotechnical report boring log and Special Inspector Agreement is required prior to permit and soil corrections on site. • The south property line with regards to location to building should be taken into account when calculating the allowable area for the building, fire resistance and opening protection. • The Department of Labor and Industry has jurisdiction with regards to plan review for the building and mechanical permits. The City of Apple Valley has a delegation agreement with the State of Minnesota to conduct the inspections for the Building, Mechanical and Electrical permits. • The State of Minnesota Plumbing Division will conduct all plumbing, storm, sanitary and water review and do all required inspections. • The plan set should be signed by the architect and engineer. MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Kathy Bodmer, City of Apple Valley Scott McQueen, Wold Architects and Engineers September 7, 2017 Comm. No: 152264 Subject: Independent School District #196 Diamond Path Elementary School Parking Requirement/Parking Study As the District proposes development at its existing Diamond Path Elementary School to implement improved safety and security at its entrance, the proposal includes a 6,700 square foot addition of four classrooms to replace the four classrooms that will be lost in their conversion to place the School's main office in the southeast corner of the building directly adjacent to the front door to promote security and welcoming. The relocated office means that the former office space will be converted to two additional classroom -sized rooms to allow the current school operations to be less cramped and to better align with current District space standards. This project has a minor net effect on capacity that, at most, could be counted as two additional classrooms. In review of Apple Valley City ordinances, we understand there is not a specific parking requirement for a school building type. We do understand that the city staff have come up with a guideline that suggests one parking stall for every four students in building capacity plus one stall for every three staff. This calls for 219 parking stalls based upon the proposed changes. We have found this guideline to be unrealistic based upon current elementary school projects in adjacent municipalities within District #196. Using Diamond Path Elementary, whose student population is 765 students, 81 staff members, and 31 classrooms, we can compare the variety of municipalities. Municipality Apple Valley Rosemount Eagan Lakeville Burnsville Requirement/Guideline One Stall per 4 Students One Stall per 3 Staff One Stall per 20 Students One per classroom No requirement per individual review One Stall per 7 Students One Stall per 2 classrooms One Stall per Staff member Resulting Stall Count 219 Stalls 70 Stalls TBD Stalls 110 Stalls 94 Stalls *Note: Actual stalls —138 Actual use — +/- 87 (see available stalls analysis) WoId Architects and Engineers 332 Minnesota Street, Suite W2000 Saint Paul, MN 55101 woldae.cor 1 6 1 227 7773 PLANNERS ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 3 We have also found the Apple Valley guideline to be in excess of what is found at every public elementary school site in Apple Valley. School AV Guideline Actual Deficit?

We also acknowledge there are a handful of events each year in which an elementary school can never have enough parking, such as: • Open house/Conferences • Grandparents Day • Large Celebrations As for daily use of an elementary school and the parking needs, there is a daily pattern, which is fairly consistent throughout the year that can be studied. In anticipation of improvements at Diamond Path Elementary School, the District tracked actual counts of available stalls in the lot, four times a day, for four days near the end of last school year to observe and record available stalls. The following table contains that data. Available Parking Stalls Day 8:15 AM 10:15 AM 2:00 PM 3:30 PM Daily Average Thursday, June 1 49 33 43 45 42.5 Friday, June 2 65 54 50 47 54 Monday, June 5 56 53 48 49 51.5 Tuesday, June 6 48 50 51 49 49.5 Averages 54.5 47.5 48 47.5 49.375 The current configuration at Diamond Path Elementary is 138 spaces with an average of 49 stalls available throughout the day. It would seem that there is adequate parking at the site currently to address any potential demand due to the proposed development despite the recommended guideline discussed previously. It appears the average daily demand is around 87 stalls for a current student population of 765. We would project a post -development capacity of approximately 813 students; therefore, parking in excess of 93 stalls would appear to be sufficient, if we assume proportionality and compare to similar district facilities. MEMORANDUM Page 3 of 3 Concurrent with the addition and entrance project, the District is proposing to reconfigure the location of bus drop-off and parent drop-off to provide additional safe separation of parents and buses, as well as pedestrians. Currently there is significant conflict between buses and parents along the entry drive in the afternoon (due to the daily attempt to leave a lane free for buses that is along the west side of the driveway curb). The revised layout flips buses to the south lot and keeps parents to the north lot, which is far more intuitive for parents and visitors, and allows for a significant parent queue to reside along the west curb (as parents often arrive 45 minutes early in the afternoon, ahead of buses). This proposed reconfiguration also results in some parking loss overall. The design as submitted indicates a total parking capacity of 111 cars. This exceeds our observed demand and our calculated need by approximately 18 cars. The new bus corral is intended to be exclusively for buses and staff during morning drop-off and evening pick-up, but it is recognized that at other times of the day, and certainly in the evenings and weekends, it can also serve as additional parking capacity to serve the community. We have developed this recommendation with our clients at District #196 and they believe this proposal adequately meets their needs.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: September 20, 2017 SECTION: Consent Agenda Description: Consider Resolution Finding that the Sale of the Village Pointe Plaza Property at 7070 -153rd Street West (Preliminary platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 VI LLAGE POINTE PLAZA) is Consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Staff Contact: Kathy Bodmer, Al CP, Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: OneTwoOne Development, LLC and City of Apple Valley Applicant Date: 60 Days: Project Number: PCI6-30-Z S B 120 Days: ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt resolution finding that the sale of the Village Pointe Plaza property at 7070 - 153rd Street West (preliminary platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 VILLAGE POINTE PLAZA) is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. SUMMARY: Attached for the Planning Commission's consideration is a resolution finding that the sale of the Village Pointe Plaza parcels (preliminary platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 VILLAGE POINTE PLAZA) conforms to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. State Statute 642.356 states that no publicly owned property may be acquired or disposed of until after the planning agency has reviewed the proposed acquisition or disposal and reported in writing to the governing body its finding as to compliance with the comprehensive plan. BACKGROUND: The City of Apple Valley purchased the 3.65 -acre Village Pointe Plaza property in January 2014 for $1,148,639 after the site went through a tax forfeiture process. The City purchased the property to make sure the property wouldn't languish or be sold at auction. It also allowed the City to have more control over its development to ensure the City vision for this key property in the Central Village would be fulfilled. OneTwoOne Development, LLC is moving forward with the purchase of the Village Pointe Plaza property to construct 58 senior -owned cooperative units and 30,000 sq. ft. of multiple - tenant retail/commercial space. At its July 27, 2017, meeting, the City Council approved rezoning of the property, zoning amendments and subdivision by preliminary plat of Village Pointe Plaza. The property is guided for "MIX" (Mixed Use) in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The sale of the property to OneTwoOne Development, LLC would be expressly for the purpose of developing the property for the mixed-use Village Pointe Plaza project as approved on July 27, 2017. Thus, staff recommends adoption of the resolution finding that the sale of the 3.65 -acre Village Pointe Plaza property for the purpose of developing the Village Pointe Plaza project is consident with the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan as required by State Statute 642.356. BUDGET IMPACT: The City purchased the Village Pointe Plaza property in 2014 for $1,148,639. The City will use funds of $1,148,639 awarded through the Livable Communities Demonstration Grant Account (LCDA) to assist the developer with the acquisition of the property. The sale of the property to OneTwoOne will pay the City back and effectively make the City whole after its purchase of the property.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Apple Valley that the City Council of Apple Valley be advised that the proposed sale of the property for the Village Pointe Plaza (preliminary platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Village Pointe Plaza) is found to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. ADOPTED this 20th day of September, 2017. Thomas Melander, Chair 1 MINNESOTA STATUTES 2016 462.356 462.356 PROCEDURE TO EFFECT PLAN: GENERALLY. Subdivision 1. Recommendations for plan execution. Upon the recommendation by the planning agency of the comprehensive municipal plan or sections thereof, the planning agency shall study and propose to the governing body reasonable and practicable means for putting the plan or section of the plan into effect. Subject to the limitations of the following sections, such means include, but are not limited to, zoning regulations, regulations for the subdivision of land, an official map, a program for coordination of the normal public improvements and services of the municipality, urban renewal and a capital improvements program. Subd. 2. Compliance with plan. After a comprehensive municipal plan or section thereof has been recommended by the planning agency and a copy filed with the governing body, no publicly owned interest in real property within the municipality shall be acquired or disposed of, nor shall any capital improvement be authorized by the municipality or special district or agency thereof or any other political subdivision having jurisdiction within the municipality until after the planning agency has reviewed the proposed acquisition, disposal, or capital improvement and reported in writing to the governing body or other special district or agency or political subdivision concerned, its findings as to compliance of the proposed acquisition, disposal or improvement with the comprehensive municipal plan. Failure of the planning agency to report on the proposal within 45 days after such a reference, or such other period as may be designated by the governing body shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this subdivision. The governing body may, by resolution adopted by two-thirds vote dispense with the requirements of this subdivision when in its judgment it finds that the proposed acquisition or disposal of real property or capital improvement has no relationship to the comprehensive municipal plan.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: September 20, 2017 SECTION: Public Hearings Description: Wasatch Storage - P C 17-32-S F G B Staff Contact: Alex Sharpe, Planner and Economic Dev. Spec. Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Wasatch Storage Partners, LLC Applicant Date: 8/23/2017 60 Days: 10/22/2017 Project Number: PCI7-32-S F G B 120 Days: 12/21/2017 ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission is asked to hold the public hearing, receive any public comments, and close the public hearing. It is not the practice for the Planning Commission to act on an item the night of its public hearing. SUMMARY: Wasatch Storage Partners, LLC has submitted applications for a Preliminary and Final Plat, Vacation of a portion of Evendale Way, and a Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization at the vacant site on the northeast corner of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street W. The site has been known as the Patina property, and has previously been reviewed for the ISD 196 bus garage. The Planning Commission reviews applications for Preliminary Plats, and Site Plan/Building Permit Authorizations, but not a final plat or vacation. However, to comprehensively evaluate the project all aspects will be presented in this report. BACKGROUND: Site Plan: Wasatch Storage Partners, LLC, proposes to subdivide the lot into 3 properties to develop an approximately 125,000 sq. ft. self -storage facility. The largest lot, at 7.07 acres is proposed to be along the majority of the northern border, and is proposed to be the storage facility site. An additional two outlots are proposed. Outlot A is proposed to be 5.63 acres and is along the eastern side of the property, adjacent to Evendale Way. The smallest lot, outlot B is proposed to be 3.15 acres, and is northeast of the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Upper 147th Street W. The remaining acreage, .18 acres, is dedicated additional right-of-way to construct a permanent cul-de-sac at the terminus of Evendale Way. The structure is set back 60' from the northern property line, as required by City code for an industrial use adjacent to residential. There is additional green -space between the drive isle around the building and the residential homes to the north. Zoning: The property is zoned "I-1" (Limited Industrial). The Limited Industrial zone permits "auto, marine, and truck storage when completely within a building". The proposal does not include any exterior storage, which would require a Conditional Use Permit within the zone. Preliminary and Final Plat: The preliminary and final plats do not dedicate the required area for a cul-de sac to City standards. Additionally, standard 10' easements are required along Evendale Way which are not currently on the plat. The plats will also require amendments to reflect changes to the access from Johnny Cake Ridge Road which are discussed in greater detail in the "Site Access" portion of the report. Vacation of a Portion of Evendale: To develop the site as proposed a portion of Evendale Way would be required to be vacated. However, the vacation documentation currently does not include some additional drainage and utility easements that will also need to be vacated. A small portion of these easements will then be rededicated with the expansion of the cul-de-sac at the terminus of Evendale Way. Site Access and Internal Traffic Flow: The site is proposed to receive access primarily from Johnny Cake Ridge Road via a right in/right out configuration. As part of the plat of the Lifeworks property an access restriction easement was dedicated to the City which limited access onto Johnny Cake Ridge Road to a single access point for this property. The proposed access from Johnny Cake Ridge Road is not designed to provide access to outlot B to the south. A condition of approval will be that this access be shared, and placed in a location approved by the City Engineer. City staff is proposing that this access be shifted to the south side of the proposed building. This would allow the access to serve the storage site, and any potential use to the south. The placement should also allow for a right turn lane off of Johnny Cake Ridge road in the future, if the development of outlot B is intensive enough to require additional vehicle stacking/speed reduction. The access as shown may also create a stacking issue into the site. The site is proposed to be fenced for security, which does not allow adequate room for vehicles turning from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to stack while entering without impeding traffic. The second access for the site is from Evendale Way via a cul-de-sac. The current plans do not have the correct cul-de-sac dimensions and will be required to be corrected on the plat documents. Additionally, the City Engineer has requested auto -turn drawings included with the site plan demonstrating that vehicles such as RV's have the ability to navigate the site. Large vehicles are unable to meet the same turning radiuses as a smaller car, and many of the turning movements on the site may require additional space to allow for the types of vehicles being stored inside. Parking: Self -storage facilities are not a use listed in the city code for parking calculations. Staff has done research on past approved projects and found that the parking demand at such sites is minimal. The site plans include a proof of parking to meet the parking demand if this facility were utilized as a warehouse facility. A condition of approval will be that a proof of parking agreement is included with the developers agreement for this project. Staff is also requesting that the interior of the building be striped with parallel parking. This will not only address some of the additional parking concerns, it will also allow interior storage units direction on suitable locations to park. The interior drive isle shall be clearly marked, and the width shall be shown on the plans. Currently, it is unclear how customers will park, and then access a rental unit. Stormwater Ponding: The proposed stormwater pond does not designate whether it will be private or publicly maintained. Due to it's proximity to the adjacent city owned and maintained stormwater pond staff is proposing combining the ponding facilities. This combined pond area can be owned and maintained by the City, allowing for a more concise design of the ponding. The proposed two -cell storm water configuration is not preferred for this site, additional analysis is requested evaluate the feasibility of a single wet sedimentation cell (modified existing cell) with infiltration benches due to proximity to future well location and that this property lies within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA). Floor Plan: A conceptual floor plan shows a total of 802 units for rent, with 56 exterior access doors along the northern property line. The majority of the units are proposed to gain access by entering the building through a drive in door. The interior building has a 30' drive isle, and is one way allowing renters access to units served off the main drive. It appears several units are large enough for RV or large boat storage with a mix between 12' x 30' to several 12' x 50' units. Structure and Elevations: The 125,000 sq. ft. facility is proposed to be climate controlled with entry to private storage units from the interior of the structure and via overhead exterior doors. The proposed materials are of corrugated metal panels, and split face masonry. The colors of the structure are generally consistent with the surrounding architecture of the industrial zone. However, the brighter red doors which provide access to units may be more apparent due to the number of exterior doors. Previously, the ISD 196 bus garage included 14 double garage doors on the north side. This facility it proposing 56 exterior doors to the north side, and 99 exterior doors overall. Landscape Plan: The application included a landscape plan which shows a total of 66 trees, and a variety of shrubs and prairie grasses. City code requires 1.5% of the total project cost to be included as landscaping. A bid list will be provided prior to the issuance of a building permit. A review memo by the Natural Resources Coordinator is attached to the Engineering report. Currently, there is not any landscaping proposed on the south side of the site. Staff is suggesting that some landscaping be included to the south to break up the visual impact of the building massing. The landscaping on the north side of the site is within a drainage and utility easement. The placement of these tree's and shrubs shall not conflict with any buried utilities. Impervious Surface Coverage: The Limited Industrial zone does not have a maximum impervious surface coverage, but does require a maximum building coverage not exceed 45% of the lot, provided exterior storage is not included. If exterior storage is included the maximum building coverage is reduced to 35%. At this time the applicant has not expressed any desire for exterior storage. The proposed building coverage is approximately 41%. City code requires that industrial properties treat the stormwater on site, as such a stormwater pond is proposed with this project. Exterior Lighting: A photometric plan is included with this report. The plan shows that the light levels at the property line exceed the .5 foot candles permitted when adjacent to residential properties. The lighting plan shall be amended or lights shall be designed to cast the light downward rather than outward to bring the light levels consistent with City code.

Please include these items as conditions to approval. General • Portions of existing drainage and utility easements along Evendale way shall be vacated to accommodate the additional ROW required for the Cul -de -Sac. a. Cul-de-sac at Evendale way shall be constructed to City standards. i. Radius of Plat should be adjusted to accommodate required minimum radius and sidewalk per City of Apple Valley standards. • A 10 -foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated on final plat along the east side of Evendale Way including the CDS. • All work and infrastructure within public easements or right of way shall be to City standards. A public improvement project will be required for work in Evendale Way. • The area that includes the Storm water pond and infiltration area shall be dedicated as drainage and utility easement on the final plat or be platted as a separate Outlot and dedicated to the City. • Drainage and Utility Easements are required for future well water main and proposed storm water facilities site location as raw water is stubbed into the site from the south at Evendale. • Provide a narrative of how the buildings will be constructed and any impacts. The narrative shall include the following: a. Shoring (if applicable) b. Material Storage. c. Haul routes to and from the site. d. Phasing • It should be clarified if the proposed storm water facilities as shown will be owned and maintained by applicant or dedicated to the City of Apple Valley for long term maintenance. An infiltration maintenance agreement will be required if owned and operated by the applicant. Permits • Provide a copy of the executed Encroachment Agreement with Magellan Pipeline for work occurring within easement area as indicated on plans. • Provide a copy of the executed Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Met Council, Department of Labor and any other required permits. • A right of way permit will be required for all work within public easements or right of way. • A Natural Resource Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land disturbing activity commences. Site • An Access Restriction easement (document 2358858) does not need to be vacated as the document indicates that one vehicular access to Johnny Cake Ridge Road would be granted at location to be approved by City Engineer. • The proposed driveway access to Johnny Cake Ridge Road shall be shifted to provide shared access to the property to the south as to not prevent future Outlot B from limited access in the future. A designated right tum lane along Johnny Cake Ridge Road may be required in the future for shared access to Lot 1 Block 1 and Outlot B. The tum lane would need to be designed in accordance with State Aid Standards and the location of the shared access would need to be able to accommodate at the location proposed. • Site Plan should indicate driveway access dimensions from the north and south property lines along JCRR. • Provide traffic impact study showing anticipated trips and distribution of traffic. • Provide additional dimensions on site plan indicating radiuses, drive lane widths, etc... • Provide additional drawing showing Auto tum turning movements to verify site circulation and layout requirements for planned vehicle usage to be used onsite. Please indicate (or show vehicle) stacking distances on the plan as circulation indicates potential for vehicles to back up onto public roadways at exit and entrance access' to the site. Show truck movement with Auto turn entering site to ensure emergency and service vehicles as well as Motor Homes (RV) and anticipated vehicles for site usage can maneuver directly to the front entrance without causing back-ups to public roadways. • A commercial driveway entrance is required at all access points to public roadways per AV Plate No. STR-4 or STR-5. • Provide pedestrian curb ramp per STR-10 at bituminous path along Johnny Cake Ridge Road access point. • Remove existing driveway access point at NW corner along Johnny Cake Ridge Road and patch curb and gutter to match section at Johnny Cake Ridge Road. • Continue sidewalk behind proposed Evendale Way cul-de-sac and provide connection point to existing sidewalk along west side of Evendale at Lifeworks facility as part of public improvement project. • Provide concrete valley gutter per STR-1 ldetail with the design of Evendale Way cul-de- sac as part of public improvement project. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control • Final Grading Plans shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. • Final Storm water Management Plan shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. • The proposed storm water pond and infiltration basin as submitted are sized to accommodate Lot 1 Block 1 only storm water requirements. • The applicant shall submit a copy of the General Storm Water Permit approval from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency pursuant to Minnesota Rules 7100.1000 — 7100.1100 regarding the state NPDES Permit prior to commencement of grading activity. • Erosion control measures shall be installed prior to beginning grading operations. • A construction entrance shall be provided at all proposed entrances to be utilized for erosion control purposes. Construction access would only be allowed off Evendale Way or 147th Street. No Construction access will be allowed off Johnny Cake Ridge Road as indicated on C3-2. • Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site. • The location and elevation of the site emergency overflow(s) (EOF) shall be identified on the plans. All critical HP and LP shall be identified along with drainage arrows. • 2% minimum grades are required in all landscaped areas. • Provide the overall site composite Curve Number (CN) along with the impervious % on the area tabulation • Existing EVR-P48.5 has a normal water elevation of 973.77 and a HWL 977.6. The proposed infiltration basin does not appear to work with the existing ponding elevations. • Lowest floor levels shall be 1.0' above the EOF. • The proposed two -cell storm water configuration is not preferred for this site, additional analysis is requested evaluate the feasibility of a single wet sedimentation cell (modified existing cell) with infiltration benches due to proximity to future well location and that this property lies within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA). • Provide cross section and detail for the proposed infiltration basin and storm water basin. Proposed elevations, soil mix, plantings, slopes, benches, buffer areas, access routes for maintenance should all be included on the plans. • The recommended infiltration benches shall be constructed in accordance with Dakota County Low Impact Development Standards. • Additional storm drain inlets are required on Sediment and Erosion Control Plan C3-2 for existing storm drain inlets within Evendale Way and 147th Street. Sanitary Sewer, Water Main and Storm Sewer • Final locations and sizes of Sanitary & Storm Sewer and Water main shall be reviewed with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer. • Domestic water and Fire service shall be split outside the building and the valves shall be located 1.5 times the height of the building away from the building or placed in location readily accessible per SER -6. • The proposed FES to the infiltration area is requested to be eliminated and/or relocated so site drainage utilizes the existing 48" RCP FES that was sized for future drainage. This change would be incorporated into the recommended reconfiguration of EVR P48.5. Landcape and Natural Resources 1. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species. 2. Restoration/Landscape plan should indicate required buffers and appropriate seed mixtures for infiltration area, aquatic bench and upland areas associated with any storm water basins. 3. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line. No major tree plantings shall be located over any underground utilities. The Drainage and Utility Easement will require clearance around the underground utilities, or the expectation that trees may have to be removed for access when needed. 4. Provide some trees and landscaping improvements on the south frontage. 5. A large portion of this project is located in the high vulnerability DWSMA, so it is extremely important that we protect against illicit discharges to infiltration facilities. To prevent contamination of the infiltration basin: a. Recommend aggressive signage about dumping around the infiltration basin and catch basins and other important locations on site b. Have information available on site about hazardous and other waste disposal requirements c. Have clearly marked disposal facilities for various wastes (garbage and recycling). 6. Riprap at the flared end is not adequate pretreatment for an infiltration basin. 7. Notation should be included on the ESC plan on the infiltration basin (not just the details and narrative section) that prohibits stockpiling, vehicle traffic, materials storage, and other activities that could clog the infiltration basin. 8. A more detailed vegetation establishment plan should be established for the areas seeded with native plants (infiltration basin). The basin shall remain offline while permanent (not temporary) vegetation is being established. Guidelines within the MN DOT Seeding Manual should be followed to establish a successful native planting; p. 44 offers a good outline of what sort of maintenance regime should be followed during establishment. 9. Infiltration basin bottom is incorrectly labeled on grading plan (>100' deep). Vegetation may not successfully establish throughout a basin that is deeper than 18 inches and is therefore not recommended; areas of saturated un -vegetated muddy bottoms are likely to occur. The number of plants that can tolerate both dry conditions and regularly ponded water to a depth greater than 18" in Minnesota is limited and most of those are shrubs or trees. 10. Seeding dates do not match the MN DOT spec for seed mixes beginning with the # 3 (native seed mixes). The dates do not match in the MN DOT spec book. Protective buffer signage in accordance with 152.57 (f) shall be provided and shown on the plans. The upland boundary line of the buffer zone shall be identified by permanent markers, which have been approved by the city, at each lot line, and one at every 50 -foot interval. ›- LLI 1— > 1±11 0- 0- SURVEY LEGEND 4.1:.1,4 IN I re P (12 liJ ,k) 2 2 9 ili2 5 5 LL,1 g Lfl Le' 1 IVI 3S .44 0 MN .44 J. .1.

The facility is proposed near the northeast corner of Upper 147th Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road ("The Site"). The project is a permitted use and is in compliance to city zoning standards. Wasatch Storage Partners is a nationwide self -storage development, acquisitions, and asset management firm. Wasatch Storage Partners specializes in acquiring and developing class A institutional grade storage facilities and works closely with national and regional 3rd party management groups that operate clean, safe and efficient facilities. The team at Wasatch Storage Partners has led private companies, played key roles in public companies, and has extensive expertise in feasibility, development, acquisitions and capital formation. The office hours of operation of the facilities vary from market to market, however Wasatch Storage Partners' facilities generally operate from 9am-6pm Monday through Saturday, and occasionally have reduced hours of operation on Sunday from 11am to 3pm. A typical facility will have 2-3 employees on site at a given time as well as multiple other behind the scenes employees working on maintenance, website traffic, marketing, etc. The facilities aim to appeal to both residential and commercial customers by providing a wide array of unit sizes. Preliminary/Final Plat and Easement Vacation The Site currently is comprised of two parcels and the platted street Evendale Way. Our site is Outlot A Eagle Ridge Business Park and the second parcel is own by Lifeworks Services (Lot 1 Block 1). The project will subdivide the current Outlot A into three parcels; the proposed storage facility parcel (Lot 1 Block 1) plus two Outlots (A & B). The northern section of Evendale Way, north of the gas easement will be vacated and replaced with a cul-de-sac south of the gas easement. The three new lots will be in a newly created plat titled Apple Valley Wasatch. The proposed application will include a preliminary and final, as well as easement vacations. We are proposing to vacate the northern portion of Evendale Way and the existing drainage and utility easements shown on the underlying plat. We also propose to vacate the 1' Access Restriction Easement along Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The proposed plat will create the required easements along the new lot lines. iNEERING 1 LAND SURVEYING 1 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 1 E: www.loucksinc.com 1 55 East Fifth Street, Suite 910, Saint Paul, MN 55101 1 763.424.5505 Wasatch Storage Apple Valley Mr. Alex Sharpe August 22,2017 Page 2 of 2 Site Plan The proposed site is 7.07 acres. The storage facility is placed along the western side of the site with the stormwater pond placed on the eastern side. Although a regional storm water basin was built for this site previously, an infiltration basin is required due to updated rules. The siting of the stormwater pond to the east was necessary to utilize the rate control capabilities of the existing regional pond located east of the site. The storage facility will consist of multiple size storage units. Access to the units will be from a center drive aisle extending through the entire building. Internal walkways will provide access to units away from the center drive aisle. Access to the facility will be from Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Evendale Way. Access from Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be a right in/right our access. Access from Evendale Way will be a full connection with Upper 147th Street. Traffic generation is minimal due to the non- business hours typically associated with indoor storage facilities. Fire access is available around the building. Parking demands for a storage facility is limited as cars will be utilizing the center drive aisle within the building. We are proposing seven parking stalls along the western side of the building. Two of the stalls will be handicapped accessible. In addition, we have provided another 58 proof -of parking stalls around the building as well as parking at each of the units for a total of 164 parking stalls. The proof -of -parking is shown to ensure that parking will be available if the building is ever used for something else than indoor storage. Landscape & Screening The landscape plan provides a great mix of coniferous and deciduous trees as well as ornamental shrubs around the site and building. We are well aware of the residential homes to the north of the site and placed numerous trees along the northern edge. The trees are a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees to provide an attractive year-round screen. Boulevard trees are placed along Johnny Cake Ridge Road and ornamental shrubs are up against the building and pylon sign at the southwest corner of the site. A vinyl coated 6 -foot high chain link fence will be placed around the site for security purposes. We believe this proposed development will be a great addition for the residents and businesses of Apple Valley.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: September 20, 2017 SECTION: Public Hearings Description: Cobblestone Lake South Shore 9th Addition - PC17-19-SF and PC17-29-ZB Staff Contact: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Hempel Companies and South Shore Development, Inc. Applicant Date: 8/23/2017 60 Days: 10/21/2017 Project Number: PC17-19-SF 120 Days: 12/20/2017 ACTION REQUESTED: 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. SUMMARY: The exterior trash and utility area will be screened with a horizontal screen material. The applicant should provide addition detail on the material that will be used for the screening. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing outlot into two lots. Lot 1 will be 1.26 acres and 216 feet wide and Lot 2 will be .71 acres with a lot width of 121.5 feet. Both lots exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. The applicant has indicated on the site plan that a 8,148 -sq. ft. retail building will be constructed on Lot 1, which will have a drive-through lane for a restaurant."PD-703" allows only one drive-through window service in conjunction with a restaurant facility in the overall development, which is currently located at the Costa Vida restaurant at 15678 Pilot Knob Road. The applicant has requested an amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for a second drive-through window. The site plan shows a single driveway off Emperor Avenue that will provide access to the two lots. The driveway will be centered on the common lot line of the two proposed lots. The proposed driveway and parking layout will require a cross access and parking easement that will need to be recorded with the final plat. The proposed driveway will align itself with Think Bank's north driveway along the west side of Emperor Avenue. The driveway shall be a minimum of 24 feet wide and shall meet all City requirements. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and his comments are included in his attached memo. revisions shall be made to the plan per his recommendations. Sanitary sewer and watermain connections are proposed to the building on Lot 1 from existing lines in the Emperor Avenue. No proposed utility connections to Lot 2 are shown at this time. The storm sewer design shows water being collected from Lot 1 and directed east and south via underground pipe to Lot 2. The plan shows a pipe connection from Lot 2 to an existing storm pipe in Cobblestone Lake Parkway. Because the storm sewer pipes traverse across the two properties, it will be necessary to have a storm sewer management/maintenance agreement between the two properties. The utility plan identifies an infiltration area in the parking lot's center median. The basin shall be designed and constructed accrding to City standards. The submitted landscape plan generally identifies a variety of plantings. Landscaping shall be added to the east and north side of the site as well as in the proposed infiltration area. BACKGROUND: Comprehensive Plan: The outlot is currently guided "MIX" (Mixed Use) Mixed use areas contain a mix of retail and service business, office, institutional, medium and higher density residential, public uses and/or park and recreation uses. The uses may be mixed vertically (in a common structure) or horizontally (in a common site or area). Among the objectives for Mixed Use areas are: • Organize land use in a compact and walkable environment Set standards for private development and public improvements that produce enduring quality and enhance the character and identity of Apple Valley. • Encourage parking strategies that support greater intensity of use. • Integrate green/open space and trails into Mixed Use areas. Improve environmental conditions, such as water quality and energy use, through development incentives. • Connect Mixed Use areas to public facilities, including transit systems, and to the broader community. Mixed Use will be implemented through planned development zoning. The City will also use design standards Mixed Use will be implemented through planned development zoning. The City will also use design standards and other land use controls to achieve the desired outcomes. At the present time, the Central Village, Apple Valley Transit Station, former Apple Valley Transit Station, and a small portion of Cobblestone Lake are designated Mixed Use. Zoning: The property is zoned 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 applicant has indicated on the site plan that a 8,148 -sq. ft. retail building will be constructed on Lot 1, which will have a drive-through lane for a restaurant. "PD -703" allows only one drive-through window service in conjunction with a restaurant facility in the overall development, which is currently located at the Costa Vida restaurant at 15678 Pilot Knob Road. The applicant has requested an amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for a second drive-through window. Preliminary Plat: The subject property is currently a 1.97 -acre outlot located at the southeast corner of 157th Street West and Emperor Avenue. Direct access to the site is via Emperor Avenue and 158th Street West, private streets located along the west and south sides of the property. The east half of Emperor Avenue is in an existing 30 -foot wide drainage and utility easement located along the west side of the outlot and the north half of 158th Street West is located in a 25 -foot wide drainage and utility easement located along the south side of the outlot. An access restriction easement is in place that restricts access from 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing outlot into two lots. Lot 1 will be 1.26 acres and 215.98 feet wide and Lot 2 will be .71 acres with a lot width of 121.53 feet. Both lots exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. All existing drainage and utility easements and the access restriction easement will remain with the split of the outlot. Site Plan: The applicant is requesting site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 8,148-sq.ft. retail building with 56 surface parking spaces on Lot 1. A 5,000 -sq. ft. building and 33 surface parking spaces is identified for Lot 2, but no building plans for this lot have been submitted. The proposed number of parking spaces is sufficient to serve the proposed buildings. Access to the two lots will be from a driveway off Emperor Avenue. The driveway will be centered on the common lot line of the two proposed lots and will align with the Think Bank driveway to the west. The driveway width shall match the Think Bank driveway and shall conform to City standards. The proposed driveway and parking lot layout will require a cross access and parking easement that will need to be recorded with the final plat. The submitted plans show a 20 -foot wide drive-through lane that will traverse along the east and north side of the building on Lot 1. Building Elevations: The elevation drawings indicate an exterior finish that will include a combination of brick, simulated stone and cementitious panel. The exterior materials and design appear to be in conformance with the special performance standards set forth in the planned development ordinance. The exterior trash and utility area will be screened with a horizontal screen material. The applicant should provide addition detail on the material that will be used for the screening. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan generally identifies a variety of plantings. Landscaping shall be added to the east and north side of the site as well as in the proposed infiltration area. City code requires that the minimum cost of landscaping materials (live plant material excluding sod) for commercial projects shall be 21/2% of the estimated building construction cost based on Means construction data. Grading Plan: The site has been graded as part of the sand and gravel mining reclamation of the site. 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 his comments are included in his attached memo. revisions shall be made to the plan per his recommendations. Availability of Municipal Utilities: The applicant is proposing to provide sanitary sewer and watermain connections to the building on Lot 1 from existing lines in the Emperor Avenue drainage and utility easement. No proposed utility connections to Lot 2 are shown at this time. The storm sewer design shows water being collected from Lot 1 and directed east and south via underground pipe to Lot 2. The plan shows a pipe connection from Lot 2 to an existing storm pipe in Cobblestone Lake Parkway. Because the storm sewer pipes traverse across the two properties, it will be necessary to have a storm sewer management/maintenance agreement between the two properties. City code requires on-site infiltration of the first one-half inch of storm water resulting from any rainfall event. The plans show and infiltration area in the center island of the parking lot. The City Engineer has reviewed the utility plan and has several comments, which are contained in his attached memo. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff review prior to any recommendation. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The subject property is located adjacent to 157th Street West, a collector street with a design capacity of 5,000-15,000 vehicle trips per day; and Cobblestone Lake Parkway, a local street with a design capacity of 3,000-5,000 vehicle trips per day. No direct access from a public street to the site is proposed. Two private streets, Emperor Avenue and 158th Street West, will provide direct access to the property. The private streets are generally centered on property lines of abutting lots. To ensure unfettered access to each other's section of the road, this configuration requires a cross access easement and maintenance agreement between all the affected property owners, which has been executed by the affected property owners along the two private streets. The petitioner will need to provide the City with documentation that they are a party to the existing "Agreement for Easements and Use Restrictions" prior to final plat approval. Pedestrian Access: The planned development ordinance calls for sidewalks into and throughout commercial areas, between buildings and across parking areas where appropriate. A sidewalk is currently located along the west side of Emperor Avenue, on the east side of street to the south of the site, and along 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway. The petitioner is proposing to make sidewalk connections from Lot 1 to sidewalks along 157th Street West, Cobblestone Lake Parkway and Emperor Avenue. Pedestrian ramps at the end of sidewalks and internal crosswalks should be identified on the plans. The plans show sidewalks along the east side of Emperor Avenue and north side of 158th Street West. Internal sidewalk connections from sidewalks along those streets and between the two properties should be made as part of any development on the two lots. Lighting Plan: No lighting plan has been submitted with this application. A plan shall be submitted that identifies the location all site lighting and all onsite foot-candle measurements. Signs: The building elevation plan identifies several sign band areas. Approval of any signage is not part of this request. All signage shall conform to the regulations set forth in the planned development ordinance and Chapter 154 of the city code. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing for the proposed subdivision was held on June 21, 2017. The public hearing was opened, no comments were received from the public and the hearing was closed. A second public hearing is required for the proposed planned development ordinance amendment request, which will be held on September 20, 2017. Staff is recommending that the public hearing be opened, comments taken, and the hearing closed.

Bottom of basin is indicated at 929.0. Insulation or relocation is required. • Proposed water main is shown cutting across infiltration basin. Water main should be relocated out of proposed infiltration basin Landcape and Natural Resources 1. Raingarden design and construction standards, plans, and details are incomplete for the project at this time. The City would recommend following the guidelines of the Dakota County LID Standards (http://www.dakotaswcd.org/pdfs/Dakota%2OLID%20Standards%20Revised%2002-09- 12.pdf) for construction and design as well as the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. a. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District may be available to suggest alternative storm water practices for the site. 2. A planting plan and methods of establishing vegetation in raingarden is not included other than a seed mix for the raingardens. A detailed plan shall be provided. Raingardens adjacent to the road and private drives should be planted and not seeded. Additionally, planting rather than seeding provides a more designed look and allows for quicker plant establishment. Raingardens generally need to remain offline until vegetation is established, which can be more than a year for native plant seed mixes. That may be difficult to accomplish for this particular project. 3. Provide cross section and detail for the proposed infiltration basins. Proposed elevations, soil mix, plantings, relationship to parking lot and curb should be clearly detailed. 4. The raingardens appear to currently be designed to 3.5' deep. Soils maps show that the soils on the property are likely C soils. The Minnesota Storm water Manual recommends using an infiltration rate of 0.2"/hr for C soils. a. 3.5' is too deep a depth to infiltrate in C soils within 48 hours as required by state regulations. Raingardens should be no deeper than 6"-9" deep in C soils. Raingardens shall be designed shallower and larger in area to meet state infiltration requirements and city storm water requirements. 5. Pre-treatment is required prior to entering the raingarden. Rain Guardians have been effective for this type of proposed storm water system. 6. Adding iron or other enhancements may increase the phosphorus removal of infiltration systems on site. This property is in the East Lake TMDL watershed, making phosphorus reductions a priority. 7. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line. 8. No major tree plantings shall be located over any underground utilities. Clusters of trees shall be used near or around these areas instead of planting in a row. The Drainage and Utility Easement will require clearance around the underground utilities, or the expectation that trees may have to be removed for access when needed. 9. A storm water infiltration maintenance agreement for the proposed treatment system will be required as part of the development agreement. a. Cleaning out sumps and Rain Guardians and other pretreatment at minimum twice per year, once in spring and once in fall, should be included in the maintenance agreement for the infiltration systems on site. b. Vegetation maintenance for the first 3 years of plant establishment should be more intensive and take someone with a special knowledge of native plants in the basins.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: September 20, 2017 SECTION: Public Hearings Description: Amendments to Planned Development Ordinance No. 507 Staff Contact: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: City of Apple Valley Applicant Date: 60 Days: Project Number: PCI7-26-Z 120 Days: ACTION REQUESTED: 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. If no public comments are received requiring additional study, staff is recommending the following: 1. Change Section Al8-2 (2) to read as follows: • Class I restaurant. cithcr frccstanding or within a multi -tenant building or Class II rcstaurant, lunch countcr or delicatessen facilitics within amulti-tcnant building. No Class II fast food restaurants or drivo-through rcstaurant facilitics may be located as a separate, stand-alonc building; 2. Add the following uses to Section Al 8-2: • Class II restaurant, lunch counter or delicatessen facilities within a multi -tenant building. No Class II fast food restaurants or drive-through restaurant facilities may be located as a separate, stand-alone building • On -sale wine and/or 3.2% liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility • On -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility. SUMMARY: For consideration are two proposed zoning amendments to Planned Development No. 507 to allow on -sale liquor as a permitted use and identify Class I restaurants as a permitted use. The planned development ordinance currently allows for a Class I restaurant, either as a free- standing or within a multi -tenant building as a permitted use in zone 1. On -sale wine and/or 3.2% liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility is a permitted use in zone 2; and on -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility and Class I restaurants are permitted conditional uses in zone 2 only. During review of a request for a proposed restaurant with on -sale liquor in zone 1 of the planned development, staff became aware that this would not be allowed under the current ordinance. This review also concluded that the on -sale liquor operations at the existing Red Robin restaurant is not currently allowed. Therefore, staff is proposing simplifying the Class I restaurant description in zone 1 by removing the "either free-standing or within a multi -tenant building" language, separating Class I and Class II restaurant descriptions, and adding on -sale wine and 3.2% liquor, and on -sale liquor in conjunction with a Class I restaurant facility as a permitted uses in that zone. BACKGROUND: "PD -507" was established in 1991 and encompasses approximately 53 acres east of Cedar Avenue, south of 155th Street West, west of Galaxie Avenue, and north of 157th Street West. The planned development was created to provide for an integrated mix of certain retail, office, medical, restaurant, commercial recreation, transit related and institutional uses and multi -family uses. Eight subzones were established with the planned development zoning district. Current uses include a gas/convenience operation, Class I restaurant, movie theater, in zone 1; surface parking lot in zone 2; MVTA park and ride facilities, Chasewood townhomes in zone 3; Fairview Cedar Ridge Clinic in zone 4; Cortland and Orchard Square senior apartments; Cedar Pointe townhome development in zone 6; and MVTA park and ride facilities in zones 7A and 7B. At the time of the approval of the planned development ordinance Class I and II restaurants were listed a permitted uses in zone 1; on -sale wine and 3.2% liquor in conjunction with a restaurant was listed a permitted use and Class I restaurants and on -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant were listed as conditional uses in zone 2. This is similar to uses allowed in the "LB" (Limited Business) and "NCC" (Neighborhood Convenience Center) zoning districts, which this section of the "PD" ordinance was modeled after. It appears that on -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant was inadvertently left off the list of permitted or conditional uses in zone 1. The addition of the on -sale liquor will make it generally consistent intent of modeling the planned development ordinance after to two before -mentioned general zoning districts.

Apple„ ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5.A. September20, 2017 Land Use /Action Items Description: Cub Foods Parking Variance - PC 17-28-V Staff Contact: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Supervalu Holdings, Inc. Applicant Date: 8/23/2017 60 Days: 10/21/2017 Project Number: PCI7-28-V 120 Days: 12/20/2017 ACTION REQUESTED: If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending the following to allow for a minimum of 434 parking spaces and 48 proof -of -parking spaces for a 88,210 -sq. ft. retail grocery store and 19,900 -sq. ft. fitness center on Lot 1, Block 1, Cub Foods 2nd Addition, due to the following: 1. The granting of the variance will not alter the general character of the locality. 2. The granting of the variance will be consistent with the comprehensive plan's goals and policies by providing a redevelopment opportunity and retaining or increasing downtown employment opportunities and tax base. Approval of the variance shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. The existing proof -of -parking agreement shall be revised and approved by the City. 2. A landscape plan that shows a minimum of one 2.5 -inch diameter tree and a variety of ground plantings in each parking lot island, as well as a mix of ornamental trees and shrubs along the west side of the easterly entrance into the property shall be submitted for review and approval by City staff. SUMMARY: For your consideration is a request from Supervalu Holdings, Inc., for a variance from the minimum parking requirements for a grocery store and fitness facility. The applicant will be downsizing their current grocery store, located at 15350 Cedar Avenue, from 108,110 sq. ft. to 88,210 sq. ft. and leasing out the remaining 19,900 sq. ft. to Planet Fitness for a fitness center. Minimum parking requirements for a retail grocery store is "one space for each 150 feet of floor area up to a total of 20,000 sq. ft.; thereafter, one space for each 200 sq. ft. of floor area". Recreation and sports training facilities such as Planet Fitness has a minimum parking requirement of "one space for every three occupants, based on the maximum occupant load of the building". Upward or downward revisions may be considered based upon experiences of the city. Based upon historical information related to this site, it is expected that 71% (62,629 sq. ft.) of the grocery store will be available to the customer. Therefore, the minimum parking requirement would be 346 spaces. Planet Fitness will have a maximum occupancy of 359 persons, which would require 120 parking spaces. The site plan shows 434 parking spaces, 363 spaces in the front of the building and 71 spaces in the rear. They also identify 20 proof -of -parking spaces in the southwest corner of the site and 28 along the west side of the building directly adjacent to the proposed relocated drive-through pharmacy window. During the past several years there has been discussion regarding parking requirements for large retail operations that have focused on the assumption that the parking calculations have been based on peak demand on days such as the weekend after Thanksgiving. The applicant has prepared and submitted to staff for review an analysis of parking demand for the two uses. It shows that normal peak parking demand for both uses will be from 5-6:00 p.m. during the week and 12-1:00 p.m. on the weekend. The information provided by the applicant indicate that at no time will the demand reach or exceed the available parking in the front of the building. They have also provided information on parking demand during the peak days of the year. They include demand for the days before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Years Day, Easter, and the Super Bowl. They would expect to exceed the available parking in the front of the building from 3-6:00 p.m. during the days before Thanksgiving and Christmas; and 1- 2:00 p.m. on December 31. The proposed parking spaces in the rear of the building will be utilized for employee parking and would be able to address any parking stress on the front lot. Staff expressed concerns regarding potential conflicts with access by delivery and emergency vehicles with the proposed parking in the rear of the building. The applicant has submitted auto -turn plans that have been reviewed by staff and no significant issues were identified. There is a fire hydrant along the south side of the property, which the applicant has located a parking space. That space will need to be removed. There is a proof -of -parking agreement for this property that was approved in 2012, which identified 37 parking spaces along the west side of the building. This area is slated to be the future location of the Cub Pharmacy drive-through window. The plans submitted as part of this request now show 28 proof -of -parking spaces at this location and 20 spaces within the delivery turnaround in the rear of the building. Approval of a variance will require revisions to the agreement. The addition of the fitness center provides a redevelopment opportunity to upgrade the parking lot landscaping. Approval of the variance should be contingent on submitting a landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by staff. This plans should include a minimum of one 2.5 -inch diameter tree and a variety of ground plantings in each parking lot island, as well as a mix of ornamental trees and shrubs along the west side of the easterly entrance into the property. A variance is a legally permitted deviation from the literal requirements of the City code. A variance may be granted in instances where strict enforcement would cause undue hardship, the circumstances are unique to the individual property under consideration, and the granting of the variance will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the applicable ordinances, goals and policies of the comprehensive plans, and will not alter the essential character of the surrounding area. Although strict enforcement would not cause an undue hardship and the circumstances are not unique to the property. It does not appear that the proposed variance would not alter the essential character of the area as the reduction of the retail grocery operation and addition of the fitness facility would not be significantly different from the existing operation. This project will provide a redevelopment opportunity, retain or increase downtown employment opportunities and tax base, which is essential to a successful downtown a key vision identified in our Comprehensive Plan. BACKGROUND: In 2012, the City reviewed and approved a development proposal by Supervalu Holdings, Inc., to subdivide an 11.6 -acre lot into three lots. The subdivision created a 9.5 -acre lot for the existing store an two one -acre lots that became the sites of a Chick-fil-A restaurant and multi -tenant retail building. At the time of the approval, the applicant indicated that they were considering a remodeling of the grocery store that would include the removal of the east 20,000 sq. ft. if the building. Since that time, they have decided to go ahead with the store remodel as indicated in 2012, but not remove the east 20,000 sq. ft. and market it for lease. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A ATTACHMENTS: Background Material Location Map Comp Plan Map Zoning Map Site Plan Site Plan Elevations SUPER1411,11 11840 Valley View Road Eden Prairie, MN 55344 952 828 4000 To Whom it may concern: Apple Valley Planet Fitness Narrative (8/22/2017) Most retailers and cities prefer to reduce the "over parked" parking fields which were developed 20 years ago. This process started for the Cub parking field about five years ago, when the two out lots were developed. Adding a national, high quality Tenant alongside the newly remodeled Cub will finish this process, Cub has "right sized" their floor plan (and extensively remodeled the inside and outside) and now have 20,000 sf of excess space on the east end which they wish to lease to Planet Fitness. The Planet Fitness elevation will also allow Cub to finish the exterior elevation (so it won't look like unfinished empty space right at the main entrance to the parking field) Philosophically. activity begets activity, and in this hypersensitive retail market that we live, retail customers want to shop where everyone else is shopping. It's a bit counter intuitive, but retailers no longer want overly abundant, excess parking just to accommodate the two biggest shopping days of the year (before the big holidays). They would rather have smaller, fuller parking lots all year round. A fuller parking lot will attract more customers which will ultimately help the bottom line of retailer. From an urban renewal perspective, excessive, unused parking in parking lots tends to be a blight on the City. Under used parking lots aren't appealing when they are empty and they tend to be eye sores when they aren't adequately maintained. If no one is using parts of the parking lots, there is no reason to keep them seal coted and striped. The parking lots in the area are an example of this. Retailers do want adequate parking however, and Cub is very comfortable with the existing parking field (along with the additional striping which will occur in the rear of the building). This is a bit of a unique case since Cub is the Tenant and the LL. There isn't a third -party LL that is pushing an agenda that may not work. Cub likes the synergy being generated with the young, health conscious Planet Fitness customer, and Planet Fitness likes the synergy which will be developed with repetitive shopping nature of the grocery customer. Cross shopping customers helps everyone. With proof of parking and the additional parking spaces in the rear, we will be very close to what code requires. With that said, we shouldn't need as many parking spaces as code requires since retail customers will be able to ride their bikes (and park in the bike racks) and the ride share ramp will also reduce the parking that is normally needed. Sharing parking fields with Tenants that have staggered "peak" customer times is also beneficial for not just the parking requirements, but also cross customer shopping. Grocery and fitness are ideal in this sense. Fitness is the busiest Monday thru Wednesday (need to work off the excesses of the weekend) also "after" holidays (again, they need to work off the excesses of the holidays). Grocery traffic tends to be busier later in the week (stocking up for the weekend) and busy "before" the holidays. Ideal synergy. Last y, it is hoped that the addition of Planet Fitness to the Tenant line up in the Cub center will spur future re -development of other shopping centers in the area. Remodeling the existing facade and adding a national Tenant to the Cub center may entice other national retailers to locate in neighboring shops. UPERVALU INC. SUPERALLI 11840 Valley View Road Eden Prairie, MN 5532,/ 952 828 4000 To Whom it may concern: Apple Valley Cub Rear Parking (09/12/2017) If parking stalls are added behind Cub Foods and Planet Fitness, provisions will be made to allow employees to enter the building in back. Customers will not be allowed to park in back, it will be designated as employees only. Safety should not be a factor as the only time that these spaces would be needed would be during daytime (first shift) hours.
