Bigos Kelley Park Phase III - PC17-16-ZB Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. Planner Kathy Bodmer stated Bigos Management requests amendments to the planned development zoning district, PD -739, to allow construction of a 61 -unit apartment building on Block 9 and 114 - unit apartment building on Block 10, Legacy of Apple Valley North. The subject properties are located on the northeast and northwest corners of 153rd Street and Fresco Terrace, south of Kelley Park. The petitioners have revised their earlier plans and have reduced the number of units in each of the buildings and the height of the building on Block 10. The proposed densities now match the maximum densities outlined in PD -739 and no longer exceed 48 units/acre. In addition, the building on Block 10 was revised so that it is four stories tall on the west end and three stories tall on the east end. The reduced height from five stories to three stories will help to make the building CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 2 of 8 on Block 10 more compatible with the Orchard Pointe townhomes to the east and southeast and Legacy Square Townhomes to the south of the site. Block 9 is located west of the landscaped boulevard of Fresco Terrace. Block 9 is currently zoned PD -739, Zone 2, which requires buildings with a mix of uses. Bigos Management plans to construct a four-story 61 -unit apartment building with a 1,100 sq. ft. "live/work" space on the first floor that will provide office area, conference room, lounge and restrooms. The "live/work" space will be available to rent by residents and the public and, along with the apartment units, will meet the "mixed-use" requirements of Zone 2. The space is intended to support home-based and entrepreneurial businesses. Ms. Bodmer reviewed the parking and added that the petitioners plan to address the parking shortfall by providing additional underground garage spaces. Staff is concerned that underground parking tend to be less convenient, more expensive, and for some, less desirable than surface spaces. Staff is also concerned that a planned surface parking lot for Kelley Park may be used by residents of the Block 10 building. The petitioners are proposing to construct 17 "compact" parking spaces in the underground garage. The spaces would be 8.5' wide; 9' wide is what the typical parking space requirement would be. The requested spaces are consistent with previously approved compact parking spaces. The petitioners request the following zoning amendments: 1. Allow reduced building setbacks from 15' to 10'. 2. Allow compact parking stalls in the lower level garage. Block 10 proposes to have 17 of 136 spaces that are 8.5' wide, rather than 9.0' wide. 3. Use excess garage parking to make up for surface parking shortfall on Block 10. 4. Reduce parking stall depth from 20' to 18' in underground garages. 5. Use of metal panels for an exterior building material. Commission Alwin asked if the parking in Kelley Park was time limited. Ms. Bodmer answered yes, from 3:00 to 6:00 a.m. there is no parking and that the City Council has the ability to restrict parking hours so that could be looked at. Commissioner Diekmann inquired how the requirements worked for mixed use on Block 9 for the live/work space and if the City alters the parking requirement for that space and if it drives up for that space or if it is only a number per units in the facility. Ms. Bodmer said it is calculated based on the number of bedrooms but because it is a mixed use it would be added on top. Staff will need to look at that and it could require additional calculation. Luke Hedberg, Bigos Management, gave an overview of Bigos Management and stated they have been in business for over 30 years and are excited about this project. They have been in Apple Valley for 20 years and recently became more active after the acquisition of the Gabella and Galante apartments. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 3 of 8 Beth Kempel, Kaas Wilson Architects, said they would make something sustainable, provide a mixed use component and create meaningful green spaces. They looked at their concept and explained how they can engage Kelley Park and create this gateway to connect from Legacy Park through to Kelley Park. She described the mixed use component, apartment styles and amenities. They would line the streets with trees and invest in the landscaping on the sites. They plan to focus on a pedestrian friendly neighborhood. They would have a dog run. She reviewed the building materials and said the buildings were meant to be cohesive with each other and the materials are not trendy but meant to last. They are conducting a traffic study. Commissioner Diekmann asked for more information about this gateway as one would look through on Fresco Terrace because that is the entrance to Kelley Park and we would really be framing up the park through that area. He said he does not see anything that describes that in any of the illustrations. He said he sees 4 stories straight up and does not want to see a tunnel effect. Ms. Kempel replied that they can put a rendering together. Commissioner Diekmann inquired what kind of sustainability this project offers the City or the residents. Ms. Kempel answered that they used high quality materials that are meant to last and they investment in an exterior that is durable that would not need to be constantly replaced or maintained. They invest in the structure. They plan to utilize the landscape especially the ponds to create and slow the flow of water runoffs. They would try to contain water on the site and filter it naturally by both the ponds and the retention system. They would encourage a sustainable lifestyle for the residents by providing bike parking, a bike fixing station, having recycling chutes accessible to the residents, the use of LED light fixtures and Energy Star appliances so the overall energy consumption of the building can be reduced. Commissioner Diekmann asked if there would be any EV (electric vehicle) charging stations on this site. Ms. Kempel commented they had not discussed that but they could look into it. Commissioner Diekmann commented that it is not a requirement but it is coming. He added that sustainable should not be used unless we are going to do some things that are forward thinking. He was happy they were thinking that way but feels it should be considered. Commissioner Scanlan inquired how the mixed use space would be use and how the interaction would take place rather a resident or community member. Mr. Hedberg answered that they would bring the community in. They would have board meetings there. Home businesses could meet a client in the community area. The coffee shop space would be available. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 4 of 8 Commissioner Scanlan asked about the surface parking for the apartments especially on Block 10 and if underground parking would be optional or are they looking at making that a mandatory package type situation to relieve the pressure from the street parking. Mr. Hedberg answered that they just changed their philosophy at the Gabella building to include it in the rent. So when tenants rent a unit they would get an underground stall and would not have the option of opting out. They would try to discourage street parking for their residents. Commissioner Burke inquired if they had used this mixed use space in other locations. Mr. Hedberg answered they have used this design in some of their other locations but it was not open to the public before. Commissioner Burke commented that there only looks to be a pond on Block 10 and that on Block 9 there would only be an infiltration system that would not hold water on a long term basis. Ms. Kempel said that is correct. Chair Melander commented of the live/work space and thinks it is a great idea. He added that roof top areas are coming back and thought this one could be a little larger. He asked if they had done any analysis on the size of vehicles and who drives compact sizes. Ms. Kempel said at Gabella the stalls are 9' x 18' and from what she understands they do not have issues there and they would be providing some that are 20' which is the standard. If residents have larger vehicles management could track and offer larger spots if needed. Chair Melander stated that they have had concerns before with metal panels for building materials and asked how they would stand up to weather. Ms. Kempel said they use them on quite a few projects and they hold up and has been a very successful product. Edward Nelson, 15465 Frost Path, commented he was happy to see the land get used. He questioned the mixed use live/work space and wonders what he bought into 10 years ago when he thought mixed use was going to be something with retail on the first floor. He asked how we can make decisions here tonight on something that is not done. He said the City Engineer has concerns and the developer has not presented a full plan. It needs to be modified and worked on before it can even be voted on. He added he is an electric vehicle owner himself and when somebody talks about sustainability he thinks it should be a requirement in a city ordinance to have them in new construction. Parking at Kelley Park is getting over used. For an event in Kelley Park recently, there were signs pointing across Galaxie Avenue for overflow parking. That is a concern for him and it could encroach down into his development that has parking issues. Overflow parking is a concern. He said the streets and grass are being parked on around Kelley Park. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 5 of 8 Cathy Osgood, 15601 Foliage Avenue, asked if these apartments are going to be only one and two bedrooms. She said that is a concern for her. She thinks for families they would need three bedrooms. She added that people are parking on the grass at Kelley Park during events there. She expressed a concern for Galante and Remington Cove where somebody could walk right out the building and onto the sidewalk. Chair Melander commented it is going to be different in the coming years and we will have some growing pains dealing with these issues. The Planning Commission will try to work through all these before presenting to City Council. Amanda Kassan, 15344 Founders Lane, commented how busy it always is at Kelley Park during these events. She thinks the park should be expanded. All parking is taken up. Parking is an issue. She had a concern for the noise that could come from on the roof top area and said it could affect the property values of the surrounding homes. Ms. Bodmer shared that the Parks Department does have a long term plan for the full build out for Kelley Park. Commissioner Scanlan asked for the applicant to share about the apartment sizes and concept for one and two bedroom apartments. Mr. Hedberg said he thinks it is not unusual. It is what they are seeing in the market place. It is not their intent to build something that does not last. He said they are taking what they learned from the first phase and applying here. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:59 p.m. 5. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS B. Wasatch Storage - PC17-32-SFGB Planner/Economic Development Specialist Alex Sharpe stated Wasatch Storage Partners, LLC 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 Planning Commission held the public hearing for the Preliminary Plat for this item on September 20, 2017. The site has been known as the Patina property, and has previously been reviewed for the ISD 196 bus garage. Wasatch Storage Partners, LLC, proposes to subdivide the lot into 4 properties to develop an approximately 125,000 sq. ft. self -storage facility. Since the public hearing at the Planning Commission changes have been proposed, including adding an additional outlot. Outlot A has been proposed to be dedicated to the City for regional stormwater ponding. The existing pond in this area was under a drainage and utility easement. Originally, Wasatch proposed to construct their CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 6 of 8 own pond area. This created two storm water ponds in close proximity, with a berm between them. To create a more efficient system the two ponds are proposed to be combined, and dedicated in an outlot for the City to maintain. With the addition of a 4th lot the lot sizes have been altered. Outlot A, the ponding area is proposed to be 2.5 Acres. Outlot B, will be retained by the Patina property owner on the east side of the site is 3.69 acres and will drain to the expanded ponding area. Outlot C, is west of the Lifeworks site, and south of the Wasatch Storage site will remain for development. It is proposed to be 3.15 acres. Lot 1, Block 1, of Wasatch Apple Valley is proposed to be 6.32 acres and is the site of the self -storage facility. The lot is slightly smaller than originally proposed due to the dedication of the ponding area. 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. To develop the site as proposed a portion of Evendale Way and all drainage and utility easements as part of the Eagle Ridge Business Park would be required to be vacated. The plat documents will be finalized prior to City Council approval. Mr. Sharpe reviewed easements, access points and internal traffic flow, stormwater ponding, floor plan, structure and elevations, landscape plans and impervious surface and added that exterior storage, or storage of vehicles is not permitted as part of this application. He reviewed comments and concerns from the public hearing that included concern for the bright red doors adjacent to the residential properties to the north. To address these concerns the applicant has agreed to change the color of the doors to a more subdued grey color. Scott Wyckoff, President and Chief Development Officer for Wasatch Storage Partners, added additional information. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann, recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Apple Valley Wasatch, subject to compliance with all City Codes and the following conditions: 1. A cash -in -lieu of land parkland dedication shall be required in accordance with the City's dedication formula in the subdivision ordinance a. 124,900 (sq. ft) / 1000 = 124.9 x .01 (Industrial persons equivalent) = 12.49 x .00955 (acres per resident) =.1192795 x $128,000 (Industrial benchmark values of raw land) = $15,267. 2. A cross -access agreement shall be executed between Lot 1, Block 1, and Outlot C, Apple Valley Wasatch. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 18, 2017 Page 7 of 8 3.

November 1, 2017 Consent Agenda Description: Valley Oaks Estates Front Yard Setback Variance - PC17-35-V Staff Contact: Alex Sharpe, Planner and Economic Dev. Spec. Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Iron River Construction Applicant Date: 8/4/2017 60 Days: 12/3/2017 Project Number: PCI7-35-V 120 Days: 2/1/2018 ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposal and provide a recommendation to the City Council subject to the following conditions; 1. The variance shall be applicable to the properties legally identified as Lot 6 and Lot 7 Block 2, Valley Oaks Estates. SUMMARY: MJ Investment, LLC, the property owner of 13715 and 13710 Grafton Ct. has requested consideration of a 10' front setback variance to construct a single family home on each lot. City code requires a 30' front setback in the "R-3" (Single Family Residential) zone. This request is consistent with past variances granted for other properties in this development including all of the homes on Gotham Ct, homes on Gossamer Way, and an adjacent property on Grafton Ct. The City has granted these variances due to steep slopes, easement restrictions, and the desire to retain old growth trees which are plentiful on these lots. Staff is recommending approval of the variance due to the following practical difficulties. 1. The lots have larger than average rear easements which restrict the home and any future additions or decks. 2. There are large trees on both lots that the City would prefer to be retained. Without a variance these trees would be within a standard size house building pad. 3. Lot 6, Block 2, Valley Oaks Estates is irregularly shaped, restricting the building pad on the lot significantly. The easement is also irregularly shaped, further restricting the building pad and the rear yard of a house. 4. Lot 7, Block 2 is a heavily wooded lot with many large trees which are significant species. The City has expressed interest in retaining as many significant trees as possible during development. A variance would allow for up to 10 additional significant trees to be retained. BACKGROUND: The 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. Definition of "Practical difficulties": • The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of the code; • The plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and • The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. • Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. In order to grant a variance, the City considers the following factors to determine whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provision(s) of this Chapter: 1. Special conditions apply to the structure or land in question that are particular to the property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district or vicinity in which the land is located; These properties are unique due to conservation and drainage/utility easements which cover large portions of the rear yard, limiting the building pad significantly. The properties also have a large number of significant trees as defined by City code. A variance would allow for the retention of a greater number of trees. The properties also back up to Cedar Ave, a high traffic volume road. Due to their proximity to the roadway the retention of significant trees is even more impactful for screening and noise attenuation from Cedar Ave. 2. The granting of the proposed variance will not be contrary to the intent of this chapter; The granting of this variance will not be contrary to the intent of this chapter. The property owner intends to use the properties in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by the zoning code. 3. The special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the owner/applicant; and The conditions of this lot were not created by the property owner and existed prior to their ownership. No part of the request involves economic considerations and the variance, if granted will not alter the essential character of the surrounding neighborhood. 4. The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate practical difficulties in complying with the zoning provisions of this Code; and The properties are irregular in shape and in the size/area of the easements. A 10' variance has previously been granted for lots on this cul-de-sac and in this development which will maintain consistency. A 10' front variance alleviates the practical difficulties that exist on the lots. 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical difficulty. The variance requested is the minimum necessary to maintain the consistency between the other homes in this cul-de-sac which have been granted the 10' variance.

Addresses are as follows: 1,0t 6. Block 2 - 1371 5 Grafton Court 1,ot 7. Block 2 - 13710 Grafton Court Due to practical difficulties on the lots, the front yard variances are needed to make the lots more livable and have better yards for the future residents. Variance exhibits showing the proposed front yard setback at twenty feet and layout of the house on the lot have been included with the application. It should also be noted that numerous other lots within the Valley Oaks Estate's development had a blanket variance previously approved that reduced the front yard setback from thirty to twenty feet for similar reasons. It is not know why all the lots were not included at that time, but this request will keep the front yard setbacks consistent with other lots in the neighborhood. The practical difficulties are as follows. Lot 6: 1 f the current front yard setback of thirty feet is to remain, it will severely restrict the rear yard of the lot. At this time there is a drainage and utility easement located in the rear yard and a infiltration basin was graded and installed within this area. In addition to that a large tree line exists on the rear of this lot that acts as a screen to Cedar Avenue, since this lot abuts Cedar Avenue along the rear yard. These trees are located in a conservation easement so they cannot be removed to allow the infiltration basin to be moved further to the west of the lot. if the variance is not approved, the patio door in the rcar of the house will then step out right into the drainage & utility easement and infiltration basin. This is the reason for the variance request, to allow the rear yard to be more useable on the lot with the extra ten feet of space. 1.ot 7: This lot is wooded from about the front of the building pad to the rear of the lot, so trees will have to be removed to allow for construction of a house. The further back the house has to be placed on the lot, the more trees need to be removed. These trees act as a buffer to Cedar Avenue and one again there is a conservation easement on the lot prohibiting the removal of the trees on the lot within the conservation easement and therefore the practical difficulty. lithe front yard variance is approved reducing the setback to twenty feet we can save approximately ten more feet of trees in the rear yard. This lot also has a drainage and utility easement in place in the rear yard of the lot and more room between this house and the easement the better. Overall these variance requests will be consistent with the neighborhood, since the same variance was approved for other lots in this neighborhood. The variances also allow additional trees to be saved on lot 7 and will create more useable and better back yards on both lot 6 and lot 7. As ov\ner and applicant I respectfully request that you consider and approve these variance requests. If approved, it is expected that houses would be constructed on both of these lots starting yet this year. Thank you.

SUMMARY: Hempel Companies and South Shore Development, Inc. are requesting the following: 1. A planned development ordinance amendment to allow for more than one drive-through lane in conjunction with a Class II restaurant in Planned Development Ordinance No. 703/Zone 6. 2. Approval of the subdivision of Outlot A, Cobblestone Lake South Shore 4th Addition into Cobblestone Lake South Shore 9th Addition, which will contain two lots. 3. Site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of an 8,148 -sq. ft. retail building on a 1.26 -acre Lot 1, Block 1, Cobblestone Lake South Shore 9th Addition. The 1.97 -acre outlot is located at the southeast corner of 157th Street West and Emperor Avenue. Adjacent uses include a municipal liquor store to the West, multi -tenant retail building to the north, the Orchard Path continuum of care facility to the east and the Cobblestone Square senior apartment building to the south. All the adjacent uses are designated "C" (Commercial) on the City's 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Map and "PD- 703/zone 6" (Planned Development) on the City's zoning map. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 1.97 -acre 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 is proposing to construct an 8,148 -sq. ft. multi -tenant retail building and 57 parking spaces on Lot 1, which will have a drive-through lane for a 2,007 -sq. ft. restaurant that will wrap around the east and north sides of the building. "PD -703" currently allows only one drive-through window service in conjunction with a restaurant facility in the overall development, which currently exists for the Costa Vida restaurant in a multi -tenant retail building located at 15678 Pilot Knob Road. Therefore, an amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for a second drive-through window will be necessary. The site plan shows a future 5,000 -sq. ft. retail building and 33 parking spaces on Lot 2. No application for site plan/building authorization has been submitted for this site. 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, shall be a minimum of 24 feet wide and shall meet all City requirements. The traffic memorandum was prepared by the applicant and reviewed by the City's traffic consultant. The consultant has concluded that the intersections adjacent and near the proposed subdivision would have acceptable levels of service with the new development. If traffic to and from Pilot Knob Road were to back up on 158th Street West, the City's consultant is suggesting that consideration be given to modifying the Emperor Avenue/158th Street West intersection from a full to a three-quarter or right in/right out intersection. 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 prior to issuance a building permit. Sanitary sewer and watermain connections are proposed to the building on Lot 1 from existing lines in 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 exterior trash and utility area will be screened with a dark bronze horizontal screen material. This material shall be maintenance free and shall be integrally colored. The planned development ordinance requires that landscaping, screen wall, or a combination shall be installed between the drive-through window lane and any private and public street, and open gathering spaces. Additional landscaping or decorative screen walls shall be added to the east and north side of the site. 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 "MIX" 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 use design standards and other land use controls to achieve the desired outcomes. These design standards will be implemented through planned development zoning process. 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 "MIX". 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 drive-through window service in conjunction with a Class II restaurant facility subject to the following conditions: 1. The restaurant shall be located within a multi -tenant building and shall not occupy more than 50% of the building and shall not exceed 3,000 square feet of floor area. 2. Only one restaurant with a drive-through window shall be allowed in zone 6. 3. Landscaping, screen wall, or a combination thereof shall be installed between the drive- through window lane and any private and public street, and open gathering spaces. 4. Hours of drive-through window operation shall be confined to the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. 5. Only one drive-through lane and menu board shall be allowed. The zoning ordinance defines a Class II restaurant as: • Carry -out and delivery restaurant where food is prepared for consumption off the premises only; and • a fast food restaurant, which is an eating facility where a majority of the customers order food and are served at a counter and then take their food to a table, counter, outdoor seating area or off the premises for consumption. The food is either pre - prepared or quickly prepared and served with non- reusable food packaging and non - reusable utensils, plates and cups. Customers typically bus their own tables and 45% more of the floor area is devoted to food preparation. Any eating facility with drive- through service shall be deemed a fast food restaurant. There is currently one Class II restaurant with drive-through window service located in the Cobblestone commercial area. The applicant has requested an amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for a second Class II restaurant with drive-through window service. Concerns were raised regarding the impacts that an additional drive-through window would have on traffic in and around the proposed development and the applicant was asked to do a traffic analysis and provide the findings to the City for review. The traffic memorandum was prepared by the applicant and reviewed by the City's traffic consultant. The consultant included additional data in their review that included future development on Lot 2 of the proposed subdivision. They concluded that the intersections adjacent and near the proposed subdivision would have acceptable levels of service. They did indicate that if traffic to and from Pilot Knob Road were to back up on 158th Street West, consideration should be given to modifying the Emperor Avenue/158th Street West intersection from a full to a three-quarter or right in/right out intersection. The City's consultant recommended that the driveway proposed along 158th Street West from Lot 2 to the Emperor Avenue intersection should be eliminated. It is recommended that the proposed access off 158th Street West will need to move farther east, which will likely require careful siting of the building on that lot. 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 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. 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 57 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. An additional driveway off 158th Street West is proposed to be constructed with the development on Lot 1. This driveway is too close to the Emperor Avenue intersection and should not be installed at this time. 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. The lane will accommodate six vehicles, the minimum required, and will have a vehicle escape lane for those cars that may want to exit the queue. 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 dark bronze horizontal screen material. This material shall be maintenance free and shall be integrally colored. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan identifies a variety of plantings that will be installed as part of this development. 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. The planned development ordinance also requires that landscaping, screen wall, or a combination shall be installed between the drive-through window lane and any private and public street, and open gathering spaces. It does not appear that the proposed landscaping will meet this ordinance requirement. Therefore, additional landscaping or a decorative screen wall shall be added to the east and north side of the site. 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 original plans showed an infiltration area in the center island of the parking lot. The plans have been revised and they now show an underground structure that will be located along the north side of the south line of Lot 1. Installation of an onsite infiltration system shall be in conformance with City standards. and an infiltration maintenance agreement shall be filed with the deeds of the two lots. The City Engineer has reviewed the utility plan and his comments contained in an attached memo. The applicant shall make the revisions to the plan for approval by the City Engineer prior to issuance of a building permit. 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. The planned development has a condition that prohibits the illumination of signage on buildings located directly adjacent to residential uses. The proposed building will be located across the street from Orchard Place, a 175 -unit continuum of care facility that will independent and assisted living, and memory care units. This is a quasi multi- family/commercial operation where the majority of the independent/assisted living units will be located directly adjacent to the proposed development. Therefore, any signage on the east side of the building shall be non -illuminated. 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 required for the proposed planned development ordinance amendment request was held on September 20, 2017. One resident spoke to the request and expressed his concerns about the traffic that would be generated by the additional drive- through window. He expressed his interest in seeing another restaurant that could compete with the Crooked Pint restaurant. He also requested more landscaping added along the east side if the drive-through window was allowed. The applicant has submitted a traffic memorandum that has been reviewed by the City's traffic consultant. The memorandum and the consultant's review are attached with this report. With regard to the landscaping comment, staff is conditioning approval of the site plan/building permit authorization request on the addition of landscaping and/or decorative wall along the east and north side of the property to provide screening of the drive-through lane. Finally, the City does not have the ability to dictate the type of restaurant that can be placed on the subject property, except through the enforcement of the zoning code. In this case, the planned development ordinance allows for variety of uses on this property, including restaurants. The current code does not currently allow for a second restaurant with drive- through window service in this planned development. The applicant has requested that the planned development ordinance be amended to allow for a second drive-through window in conjunction with a restaurant facility. A decision on that request will determine the type of restaurant that may locate in the proposed development.

A narrow band of turf is not recommended for long term maintenance by City of Apple Valley. • The existing striping at Emperor Ave and 157th should be changed to provide a shared thru and left turn lane and designated right turn to prevent vehicles crossing 157th or turning left from competing for gap in traffic to make movement. 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 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. O Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site. O Drainage report should include drainage area from future lot 2. 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. • Future service connections to Lot 2 should be shown on plans. All lots are required to have individual sanitary and water services from mains. • CB -1, CBMH-2, CBMI-1-3 and CBMH-4 can be shallowed up to ensure >18- separation between the sanitary sewer crossing and storm sewer. Consider relocating the Roof leader to the south side of sanitary sewer to assist with greater separation at crossings. • 36" Perforated pipe should be enlarged to prevent 100 -year overflow from discharge to public right of way. Grades should be adjusted for overflow of infiltration system to be able to discharge to existing STMH. Landcape and Natural Resources 1. Additional year round planting is recommended to better screen the drive thio operations along 157th street and Cobblestone Lake Parkway. 2. 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.

In addition to the review, SRF conducted a supplemental trip generation and intersection capacity analysis to better understand existing and future operations adjacent to the Cobblestone Outlot development. The proposed development is located in the southeast quadrant of the 157th Street/Emperor Avenue intersection in the City of Apple Valley. The following information summarizes the review of the vehicle forecast document and the supplemental analysis. Review Summary Based on our review of the Vehicle Forecasts for Cobblestone Outlot A Retail, the following items were identified: 1) Trip Generation — The trip generation estimate approach using data from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, is reasonable. Review of the ITE code utilized for the retail land use was representative of a "variety store." Although ITE code 820, which represents a "general shopping center" may provide a more realistic description of the future land use, the overall trip generation is relatively similar and not expected to be an issue. However, the trip generation estimate did not include an additional 5,000 square foot retail outlot as requested. Therefore, the supplemental analysis later in this document addresses impacts associated with the additional outlot retail. 2) Trip Distribution/Assignment — The directional distribution and resulting trip assignment are reasonable. Supplemental Analysis To better understand existing and future operations adjacent to the Cobblestone Outlot development, a supplemental analysis was conducted that reviewed existing area traffic volumes, additional outlot trip generation, intersection capacity, and potential improvements for consideration. The following information summarizes the supplemental analysis. 1) Data Collection — SRF collected short -duration (i.e. 15 -minute) traffic counts at the following intersections during the a.m. (7 to 8) and p.m. (4:45 to 5:45) peak hours to understand general area travel patterns and magnitude. These counts were modified to reflect peak hour conditions. a) 157th Street and Emperor Avenue b) 157th Street and Cobblestone Lake Parkway c) 158th Street and Emperor Avenue d) 158th Street and Cobblestone Lake Parkway ONE CARLSON PARKWAY, SUITE 150 I MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55447 I 763.475.0010 .SRFCONSULTING.COM Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley Cobblestone Outlot Development Traffic Review October 26, 2017 Page 2 2) Dakota County Count Data — A historical traffic count at the Pilot Knob Road/ 157th Street intersection was provided by Dakota County and modified to reflect existing conditions. The existing peak hour traffic volumes are shown in the Appendix. 3) Additional Outlot A Development — Based on discussions with City staff, there is the potential an additional 5,000 square foot retail development could be constructed on the southern portion of the site. An additional 5,000 square foot development would generate an additional 5 trips during the a.m. peak hour, 10 trips during the p.m. peak hour, and 170 daily trips, assuming a general retail land use (ITE Code 820), in addition to the trip generation noted in the Vehicle Forecasts for Cobblestone OutlotA Retail document. Future traffic volumes are shown in the Appendix. 4) Intersection Capacity Analysis — An existing and future year 2020 (i.e. one-year after construction) intersection capacity analysis was conducted to understand potential impacts associated with the proposed development. The year 2020 capacity analysis include trips generated by the proposed development, as well as a one percent annual background growth rate (consistent with area comprehensive plan growth) applied to the existing intersection volumes. Results of the capacity analysis (shown in Table 1) indicate that each study intersection operates or is expected to operate at acceptable levels of services under existing and year 2020 build conditions. The northbound approach of Emperor Avenue at 157th Street operates at LOS D during the existing p.m. peak hour and is expected to operate at LOS E during the year 2020 p.m. peak hour. Side -street delays of this magnitude are generally considered acceptable and do not necessitate mitigation. However, if queues from Pilot Knob Road regularly impact operations at Emperor Avenue, safety issues develop, or side -street delays increase further, potential modification to a three-quarter or right-in/right-out access should be considered.

The delay shown represents the worst side -street approach delay. 2) Indicates roundabout control. 3) Indicates a signalized intersection. 5) Site Plan Review — A review of the proposed site plan does not indicate any significant issues under the first phase of development. However, under the second phase, a new access appears to be proposed along 158th Street, immediately east of the Emperor Avenue/ 158th Street intersection. This access is too close to the intersection and would result in unnecessary conflicts. This access should be eliminated and/or moved to the east to align with the internal driveway aisle. If not possible, potential reconfiguration of the Phase 1 building orientation and/or the Emperor Avenue access, may need to be considered to improve overall site circulation. 6) Emperor Avenue Lane Configuration — The northbound Emperor Avenue approach currently has a left -turn and a shared through/right-turn lane. Given the current traffic control, the lane configuration could be modified to a shared left/through and a right -turn lane to reduce conflicts.

Spec. Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Iron River Construction Applicant Date: 8/21/2017 60 Days: 10/20/2017 Project Number: PCI7-27-V 120 Days: 12/19/2017 ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposal and provide a recommendation to the City Council subject to the following conditions; 1. The variance shall be applicable to the property legally identified as Lot 5, Block 1, Beckman's 1 st 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. All City Ordinances shall be strictly adhered to. SUMMARY: All Energy Solar, on behalf of the property owner, Thomas Beckman of 4675 120th St. W. has requested consideration of an accessory structure maximum sq. ft. variance to construct an approximately 813 sq. ft. ground mounted solar array. City code does not permit accessory structures to be greater than 750 sq. ft. in total size. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan states that "The City will encourage developments to make effective and appropriate use of renewable energy source". The City has encouraged the construction of renewable energy sources within the community. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan further states that "The City will evaluate methods of protecting access to renewable energy sources, including solar and wind that fit within existing land uses." Due to the nature of the site being secluded, and heavily wooded, this array is in a unique position to have little impact to any neighboring properties. Staff is recommending approval of the variance due to the following practical difficulties. 1. A large portion of the solar array already exists on the roof of the home. The array is being proposed to be moved to a ground mounted system due to continued damage occurring to the roof, and better access to solar light resources. 2. Minnesota Statute 462.357 Sub. 6 paragraph 2 details the requirements for a practical difficulty which includes "inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems". Placing the solar array on the slope of the hill and southward facing provides better solar access than by placing the array on either the home or detached garage structures. 3. The City has encouraged residents to incorporate renewable energy resources. 4. This array will not impact adjacent properties with its size due to placing the array 1' from the ground, following the slope of a hill. Placing the array on the slope of the hill decreases the chance that adjacent properties will be able to view or be impacted by the array. BACKGROUND: As stated in the summary section, a large portion of the proposed solar array currently exists on the roof of the home. However, the array is arranged on the north side of the roof due to the home construction. The north side is far less efficient for solar access; the new array is proposed on a southward facing hillside. The current array is also causing damage to the roof's shingles. Due to the lot being heavily wooded and the location of the solar array being approximately 220' from the southern property line, it is very unlikely any other properties will be impacted. By placing the array on the slope of a hill the array is able to be approximately 1' from the ground. This further decreases the likelihood that a neighboring property will be able to view or be impacted by the solar array. City code allows for one larger accessory structure with a maximum size of 750 sq. ft. and one smaller structure with a maximum size of 120 sq. ft. The existing detached garage was previously granted a variance to exceed the 750 sq. ft. maximum in 1993. The variance application is seeking to exceed the 120 sq. ft. maximum for an 813 sq. ft. array, or a 693 sq. ft. variance. The City Attorney has been consulted, and the applications are to be reviewed as independent events. 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. Definition of "Practical difficulties": • The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of the code; • The plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and • The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. • Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. In order to grant a variance, the City considers the following factors to determine whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provision(s) of this Chapter: 1. Special conditions apply to the structure or land in question that are particular to the property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district or vicinity in which the land is located; The wooded nature of the property, combined with a large hill allow for the solar array to be more efficiently located on a ground mounted system than on existing structures. Additionally, the visual impact to adjacent properties is less likely due to the proximity of the array to the ground, verses on a rooftop. 2. The granting of the proposed variance will not be contrary to the intent of this chapter; The granting of the proposed variance is not contrary to the zoning chapter, and is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals. 3. The special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the owner/applicant; and; The wooded nature of the lot is not due to the owner or applicant. 4. The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate practical difficulties in complying with the zoning provisions of this Code; and The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, and will alleviate practical difficulties created by the inadequate access to solar energy ifplaced on the home. 5. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical difficulty. The variance requested allows for the most efficient solar energy system.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: November 1,2017 SECTION: Land Use /Action Items Description: Bigos Kelley Park Phase 111 - PC17-16-ZB Staff Contact: Kathy Bodmer, Al CP, Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Bigos Management, Bigos-Fortino, LLC and 1 MH Special Asset 175 -AVN L L C Applicant Date: 9/21/2017 60 Days: 11/19/2017 Project Number: PC17-16-ZB 120 Days: 1/18/2018 ACTION REQUESTED: There are outstanding issues related to the project. Therefore, staff is not ready to make a recommendation at this time. SUMMARY: Bigos Management requests amendments to the planned development zoning district, PD - 739, to allow construction of a 61 -unit apartment building on Block 9 and 114 -unit apartment building on Block 10, Legacy of Apple Valley North. The subject properties are located on the northeast and northwest corners of 153rd Street and Fresco Terrace, south of Kelley Park. The petitioners have revised their plans submitted May 2017 by reducing the number of units in each of the buildings and the height of the building on Block 10. The proposed densities now match the maximum densities outlined in PD -739 and no longer exceed 48 units/acre. In addition, the building on Block 10 was revised so that it is four stories tall on the west end and three stories tall on the east end. The reduced height from five stories to three stories will help to make the building on Block 10 more compatible with the Orchard Pointe townhomes to the east and southeast and Legacy Square Townhomes to the south of the site. The availability of surface parking remains the biggest outstanding item for the development. The petitioners propose to provide additional underground garage parking spaces to make up for the surface space shortfall. Staff is concerned that residents will prefer to use the surface spaces which could make parking spaces at Kelley Park unavailable and require additional police resources to monitor overnight on -street parking. BACKGROUND: Block 9: Block 9 is located west of the landscaped boulevard of Fresco Terrace. Block 9 is currently zoned PD -739, Zone 2, which requires buildings with a mix of uses. Bigos Management plans to construct a four-story 61 -unit apartment building with a 1,100 sq. ft. "live/work" space on the first floor that will provide office area, conference room, lounge and restrooms. The "live/work" space will be available to rent by residents and the public and, along with the apartment units, will meet the "mixed-use" requirements of Zone 2. The space is intended to support home-based and entrepreneurial businesses. At 61 units, the building would have a density of 47.8 units/acre. The site plan shows that 32 off-street surface parking spaces and 28 on -street spaces will be available for a total of 60 surface spaces available; 64 surface parking spaces are required for the apartments and the live -work space. The petitioners will provide additional garage spaces to make up the four -space surface parking shortfall. Sixty-four (64) spaces will be provided in the garage; a minimum of 61 garage spaces are required. The petitioners state that this will allow some of the units to have the equivalent of a two -stall garage. The petitioners propose to reduce the depth of the majority of garage parking stalls from 20' to 18'. Of the total 64 parking spaces, 39 (61%) would be 18' long, 8 (13%) would be 19' long, and 17 (26%) would be 20' long. Block 10: Block 10 is located east of Fresco Terrace and is currently comprised of two parcels. The lots will need to be replatted to a single lot for construction of the single building. The replat will be reviewed by the City Council in the future. The property is zoned PD -739, Zone 3, which allows townhouses, multiple family apartments, condominiums and assisted care facilities. The petitioners plan to construct the building with four stories on the west side and three stories on the east side. Earlier plans proposed a five -story building on this site, but the building was scaled back to better integrate the building with the townhomes and condominiums to the east and southeast of the site. A six story building would be permitted by the zoning district. At 114 units, the building density is proposed to be 46.3 units/acre (48 units/acre maximum). With 44 surface parking spaces and 28 on -street spaces, residents of Block 10 will have 72 surface parking spaces available; 96 surface parking spaces are required. The petitioners plan to address the parking shortfall by providing additional underground garage spaces. At 136 garage spaces, 1.2 garage spaces/unit are proposed. Only 114 spaces or 1.0 spaces per unit are required. The petitioners state that the 24 -space surface parking shortfall can be addressed through the underground garage spaces. The petitioners are proposing to reduce the depth of the majority of the garage parking stalls from 20' to 18'. In addition, 15 of the 136 spaces (11%), are proposed to be compact stalls with stalls reduced from 20' to 18' long, and width reduced from 9' to 8.5'. Of the 136 spaces, 87 (64%) are proposed to be 18' long, 34 (25%) are proposed to be 20' long, and 15 (11%) are the compact spaces. The requested "compact" spaces are consistent with previously approved compact parking spaces in the Parkside Village Galante building. Requested Zoning Amendments: The petitioners request the following zoning amendments: 1. Allow reduced building setbacks from 15' to 10'. 2. Allow compact parking stalls in the lower level garage in Block 10 with 15 of 136 spaces that are 8.5' wide, rather than 9.0' wide. 3. Allow reduced parking stall depth from 20' to 18' and 19' in the underground garages. 4. Use excess garage parking to make up for surface parking shortfall. 5. Use of metal panels for an exterior building material.

The lots are located in the Legacy North of Apple Valley subdivision which is part of the Central Village. The Central Village was envisioned to be an integrated, compact, mixed-use development adjacent to the City's existing downtown core. By developing the site with smaller block sizes, a one-way coupler street system, higher residential densities and taller mixed-use retail and office buildings, the area was designed to be an energetic, sustainable and walkable neighborhood. Development of the Central Village slowed down during the recession, but development has resumed in the area. The vision for the area has been tempered and refined over time to respond to the realities of the real estate market. Central Village Plan: The Central Village Plan dated January 19, 2004, provided the vision and framework for Planned Development Zoning District No. 739. The vision for the development of the area was the following: "The intent of the [Central Village] plan is to manage growth and development of the entire Downtown Apple Valley by guiding it towards the realization of specific urban design objectives for the downtown, while demonstrating strategies for mixed-use development. [...] The `urban village' envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan is to be energetic and sustainable, and provide for a variety of housing types, neighborhood commercial uses, live/work units and meaningful green spaces."

Park/Open Space Kelley Park Winkler Pond and Trails Total Park/Open Space Acres 8.28 8.21 16.5 Zoning: The site is currently zoned "PD -739" which allows for a mix of residential, commercial, and park uses. The petitioners are requesting amendments to the zoning designation to allow for construction of multiple family apartment buildings on Block 9 and Block 10. The petitioners state that they currently have higher demand for the 1 -bedroom units than 2- and 3 -bedroom units in their Parkside Village Gabella apartment development north of Kelley Park. The petitioners state that the current market trends favor smaller apartment living units in buildings with higher amenity community spaces. Examples of some of the community spaces proposed include party rooms, community gathering areas, Wi-Fi cafes, movie rooms, full exercise facilities, and an outdoor community patio area with swimming pool, grills and yard games. The petitioners wish to construct a 61 -unit building on Block 9 and a 114 -unit building on Block 10. The following amendments to the PD zoning district are requested: Summary of Requested Amendments to PD -739: • Allow reduced building and parking setbacks (from 15' to 10'). • Allow compact parking stalls in the lower level garage. Seventeen of the 136 spaces in the Block 10 garage are proposed to be 8.5' wide (rather than 9' wide). • Use extra garage parking spaces to make up for surface parking shortfall on Block 10. • Reduced parking stall depth or width of drive aisle in underground garages. • Use of metal panels for exterior building material. The City's vision for this area has been for a higher density residential development. As the City transitions from standard suburban development to a suburban -intensive form, challenges are raised that will need to be evaluated. Currently, the highest density market -rate development in Apple Valley is the Galante apartment development at 46 units/acre which is currently under construction on the northeast corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street. The senior continuum of care, Seasons at Apple Valley, has a density of 55 units/acre. The proposed density on Block 9 would be 47.8 units/acre and on Block 10 would be 46.3 units/acre. Preliminary Plat: Not requested or required. It will be necessary for the petitioners to replat Block 10 to combine the two existing lots into a single parcel. The replat would be reviewed by the City Council. Site Plan: When the Bigos Kelley Park project was initially designed, the petitioners proposed constructing a 76 -unit apartment building on Block 9 and a 5 -story 164 -unit building on Block 10. In early meetings, the developer and City staff discussed the possibility of including an attached indoor park to the building on Block 10 similar to the indoor park at Edinborough in Edina. To make the joint use of the property work financially for the developer, the petitioners proposed to construct a 5 -story building on Block 10. On June 29, 2017, Bigos Management hosted a neighborhood meeting to present revised plans that reduced the number of units on the property and addressed some of the concerns raised by the neighborhood. Approximately 20 neighbors attended the meeting. The new plans proposed to develop the property as follows: Block 9: • 61 units on 1.3 -acres (47.8 units/acre) in a 4 -story building. • 1,100 sq. ft. live -work space provided that includes office, lounge area, conference room and rest rooms. • Access to underground garage from west on Galante Lane. • Surface parking lot access west from Galante Lane and south from 153rd Street. • 64 garage parking spaces provided (61 garage spaces required); thirty-two (32) surface parking spaces and 28 on -street spaces for a total of 60 surface spaces provided (61 surface spaces required). The petitioners propose making up for the surface parking shortfall by providing additional garage spaces. • Rooftop deck. Block 10: • 114 units on 2.46 acres (46.3 units/acre) in a 3- and 4 -story building. • Access to underground garage from north off of Fortino Street. • Access to north surface parking lot from Fortino Street. • 136 garage parking spaces provided (114 required); 44 surface parking spaces and 28 on street spaces provided for a total of 72 surface spaces (96 surface spaces required). Petitioner plans to address surface space shortfall by providing extra garage spaces. Total parking spaces provided 208; total parking spaces required 210. • Outdoor swimming pool and outdoor community area. • Rooftop deck. Floor Plan: Preliminary floor plans have not yet been submitted, but the petitioners state that the one bedroom units will range in size from 650 sq. ft. to 750 sq. ft. and two bedroom units will range from 1,000 sq. ft. to 1,400 sq. ft. Some two-level "penthouse" style units will also be constructed within the building. The petitioners state that there is market demand for smaller units in buildings that provide higher amenity community spaces. Both buildings will have amenities including community rooms, club rooms, theater, and fitness centers. Both buildings will have a rooftop deck and Block 10 will have an outdoor community space with pool, patio, grilling stations, bocce ball court and a dog run. Grading Plan: The grading plan was reviewed by the City Engineer and his memo is attached. Issuance of the building permit will be subject to final review and approval of the grading plan by the City Engineer. Elevation Drawings: The exterior building materials are proposed to be a combination of cementitious panels and lap siding, brick, architectural concrete veneer, and metal panel siding. Additional information is attached concerning the proposed metal panel system. The petitioners have been asked to provide a sample of the proposed metal panel material. The rooftop height of the two buildings varies with the tallest section on Block 9 at 51' and 48' for Block 10 in the 4 -story section on the west side. The 3 -story building on Block 10 will have a maximum height of 37'. The maximum building height allowed in Zone 2 is 80' (6 stories) and Zone 3 is 60' (4 stories). Landscape Plan: A variety of plantings are shown for both Blocks 9 and 10. Currently, the landscape value of the plantings is at approximately 1% of the construction value of Block 9. The site is very constrained and staff expects that there will be credit given for the amenities proposed on the rooftop deck. Block 10 has more greenspace and is currently at a value of 1.7% of the value of the construction of the building. Block 10 will also have an outdoor pool and community patio area along with a rooftop deck. Staff expects that there will be credit given for the outdoor amenities provided on the site. Municipal Utilities: The utilities plan was reviewed by the City Engineer and his memo is attached. Issuance of the building permit will be subject to the final review and approval of the utility plan by the Engineer. Utilities are stubbed into the site and available. An 8" water line would need to be removed from Block 10. The City Engineer will need to review to determine whether the removal could be done privately with an executed Design and Private Installation Agreement or as part of a public project. On Block 9, the petitioners plan to reconfigure the existing stormwater infiltration basin and will add a surface basin and underground infiltration structure to manage the stormwater. The infiltration basin on Block 10 will be maintained in its current location. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: • Foliage Ave (80' ROW) — Minor community collector. No direct access is proposed from Lot 10 to Foliage Ave. • 153rd Street (64' ROW) — One-way west -bound minor community collector. Block 9 has access from 153rd Street to parking areas on the south sides of the building. • Fortino Street (60' ROW) Local access street. Access to Block 10's surface parking and underground garage will be taken from Fortino Street. • Galante Lane (75' ROW) Local access street. One drive access to Block 9 surface parking lot. • Fresco Terrace (51' ROW plus planted center median) Local street designed as a landscaped parkway entrance to Kelley Park. No access to either site proposed. Pedestrian Access: The primary focus of the central village is to create a pedestrian -oriented neighborhood that can easily be accessed on foot and bicycle. Sidewalk links are shown throughout the two sites providing access to surrounding streets. The first floor apartment units are planned to be walk-up units similar to what was constructed at the Parkside Gabella site and what is currently under construction at the Galante site. Walk up units provide a second access for residents to the street and provide increased pedestrian activity. Public Safety Issues: None identified at this time. The police department is likely to be concerned about the availability of resident parking and the prohibition of overnight parking on public streets. Overnight on -street parking has been an issue at the Parkside Gabella building. Residents find it convenient to park on the street in front of their units. On -street parking is prohibited between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Recreation Issues: Park dedication is expected to be a cash -in -lieu of land dedication. Signs: No sign approvals are given at this time. No signs may be installed prior to the issuance of a permit. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation of any signs on the site or the building. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held on October 18, 2017. The following comments were received: 1. How is parking calculated for the Live -Work units? Staff response: The Live -Work area would be calculated as a separate activity within the building. The PD zoning district requires one parking space per 400 sq. ft. of office floor area. At 1,100 sq. ft., a minimum of three parking spaces would be required for the Live -Work area. The petitioner indicates that the parking spaces will have a time limit so that at the end of the work day, the spaces would become available to the residents for surface parking. 2. Please discuss strategies for promoting use of underground parking spaces. Staff response: Bigos Management indicates that the underground parking stalls would be made part of the rental package. The surface parking lot on Block 9 has 134 spaces which is 0.56 spaces/unit. Block 10 has 44 spaces which is 0.39 spaces per unit. The petitioners propose to add underground parking spaces to make up for the surface space shortfall. Parkside Village Gabella has 228 surface parking spaces which is 1.16 spaces per unit. Parkside Village Galante has 114 surface parking spaces which is 0.85 spaces per unit. Staff notes that the number of surface parking spaces has decreased with each apartment development phase in this area. The petitioner states that by making the garage spaces part of the rental package and with strong parking enforcement by the City, residents will learn that on -street parking overnight will not be an option. Staff is concerned that there will be higher demand for surface parking spaces than what will be available on site. Managing parking through parking enforcement will place additional burden on the Police Department. Staff is also concerned that surface parking demand will extend to the areas adjacent to Kelley Park and may impact the availability of parking for those who wish to use the park. 3. Concern about popularity of Kelley Park and significant parking demand for Music in Kelley Park and Oktoberfest events. During some of the busiest times, notice that people park on the grass during Music in Kelley Park events. Staff response: The City is aware that there is high demand for parking during popular events in Kelley Park. Overflow surface parking is available on the west side of Galaxie Ave in the City's surface parking lot. The City Code requires that all vehicles must be parked on a paved surface. 4. What are some strategies for ensuring that there is sufficient parking available for users of Kelley Park? Would the City consider placing time limits on parking? Staff response: The City has the authority under City Code § 70.02(B) to restrict parking on public streets by resolution. More restricted parking requirements would require more monitoring and enforcement by the police department. Additional resources would be needed which have not been identified as priorities at this time. 5. Please provide renderings that show how the buildings will relate to Fresco Terrace. Staff response: Petitioner to provide. 6. Buildings are being constructed 10' away from the sidewalks. Are these livable units? What about pollution and noise? Thinks larger setbacks are needed. Staff response: PD -739 established reduced setbacks to promote walkable and active streets in the Central Village area. The development layout is quite different from the typical suburban development model seen at Cub Foods or Target or Kingston Green in the downtown. Rather than having a parking lot between the building and the street, the zoning district encourages buildings to be placed in close proximity to the street. This was intended to provide a more active and vibrant area. The petitioners state that the walkup units in the Gabella building are the most popular units. Those who enjoy a more urban (or, suburban intensive) environment will enjoy the close interaction with the street. 7. In what ways will this development be sustainable? Staff response: Petitioner to address. 8. Block 9 has no pool or outdoor patio area. How will that be addressed? Staff response: Block 9 is proposed to have a rooftop deck. The petitioners indicate that Blocks 9 and 10 will share the outdoor amenities including the outdoor swimming pool and the community patio area provided on Block 10. 9. Why are only one- and two-bedroom units proposed in these buildings? Wouldn't the location be great for families? Staff response: The decision to not include 3 -bedroom apartments is based on the petitioners' market analysis. Bigos Management has found that the three-bedroom units in the Gabella building are the most difficult to lease up. 10. Does the live -work area meet the requirements for mixed-use development? Does the overall development meet the vision of mixed-use for this area? Staff response: When the Central Village Area was planned, the City envisioned the area of Galaxie Ave and 153rd Street/Founder's Lane to be made up of boutique retail shops, apartment buildings, townhomes, and buildings with first floor retail with apartments on the upper stories. The market reality is that it is difficult to create vertical mixed-use, that is, mixed-use within a single building. The proposed apartment development on Block 9, with the Live -Work office space, is an innovative way to address the mixed-use requirement and promotes home-based businesses and entrepreneurship. 11. The plan is incomplete if the City Engineer is requesting revisions to the plan. Staff response: The review of land use development applications is an iterative process. Plans are submitted and then revised as they are reviewed by City staff. The required plans were submitted and changes are requested as the plans are under review. 12. Will the rooftop decks create noise at night? How will the outside activity impact adjacent properties? Will the pool area activity negatively impact adjacent properties? Staff response: Staff has not received plans that show how the upper level decks will be constructed. A wall or fencing will likely be needed to provide noise mitigation from the area. The shape of the building on Block 10 should help to screen some of the sound from the pool and ground level patio. Staff further expects that the apartment building will have quiet hours when outdoor activities will not be permitted. No noise complaints were received this summer regarding activities at the Parkside Village Gabella building. 13. Concern that this development will result in decreased property values. Staff response: Property values are determined by a complex set of variables that are difficult to attribute to a single adjacent land use. Instead, property values are impacted by overall City development patterns. The proposed development will be required to meet the strict development standards of the City and of the Central Village Planned Development zoning district. z4,69z _ • • 4P-1 i 11 1 I 1 • CVS 12,90 KeIIey Park keipmss irgrw 4.- 1*11 I. .11.164 4 44, -41 /410 ighTiLs„a Tak., frt2,4211k.,. -.7647v vaimr&IL fd-rr `IA h 11 .714W iJhtLri.adi 4fflarreivfl. jk,...maws _wok Pokittiffil %4: 0:71PAstFligAlown Acet: mrikr 4.50,11171,1 41,1221.ligt, 510 'l sr, AMA 150TH ST W w 150TH ST W INS 5-)-ir ST W GABELLA ST MIX • , W M I; J 0 z w CD J 0 u_ 153RD ST FOUNDERS LN MIX • l ■ c FLORIST C�,A MD SITE �ONVER WAY MD 154TH ST W 157TH ST W bLIGH I WAY -n r 0 O -� r r z FIGHT LN /'\VVVVV ire it %WM ilaut.e4A171 1 , varww, -Pt....1 vi * It. 7 . oria , - Ar si .ei„ vi rife a s Imo. ow ta JAL.r.A6edislag 1•TI1PWV I WERRA am 1.11411 --ri- r.,.

Bigos Management is proposing that parking for the Live -Work space will be handled through shared parking stalls — a certain portion of the surface stalls on Lot 9 will be labeled as commercial parking only within the timeframe of the hours of operation of the Live -Work space, such as "Parking reserved for Commercial guests only between the hours of 8am — 5pm, Monday — Friday, all others will be towed." The Live -Work space will be staffed by an on-site concierge who will monitor the parking. The parking requirement for the commercial space is one stall per 400 square feet, as such, a minimum of three parking stalls (for the 1,100 SF space) will be signed for daytime commercial parking. Discuss strategies for promoting the use of underground parking spaces. The cost of parking will be included in the residents' rent and they will be assigned a space in the below -grade parking garage. It will not be elective and it will not be an additional cost to the residents. A certain number of surface parking stalls will be labeled as guest parking at both buildings. Management will notify the residents of city parking ordinances, include the parking requirements in the resident handbook, and will notify residents that if they do not comply they will be ticketed. Furthermore, staff mostly lives on site and as such would have a designated garage space. Staff that resides off- site will have a designated parking stall in the garage. We also want to pursue street signs that will inform the public of the city ordinance. Concern about popularity of Kelley Park and significant parking demand for Music in Kelley Park and Oktoberfest events. What are some strategies for ensuring that there is sufficient parking available for users of Kelley Park? Could the City place time limits on parking? — CITY During the busiest times, some cars are parking on grass during Music in Kelley Park events. — CITY Parking Stall Dimensions A certain percentage of stalls in each building will be built as 20' stalls. Lot 9 has 26% of stalls at 20' and 13% of stalls at 19', the remainder are standard 9' x 18'. Lot 10 has 25% of stalls at 20' deep, 64% as standard stalls, and 11% compact stalls. Building Massing Provide renderings that show how the buildings will relate to Fresco Terrace. A rendering showing both Lot 9 and 10 in relation to Fresco Terrace was submitted to the city on October 25, 201 7. Buildings are being constructed 10' away from sidewalks. Are these livable units? What about pollution and noise? Thinks larger setbacks are needed. As with Galante, windows with high STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings will be specified to add increased acoustical isolation. Additionally, most streets surrounding this site are low -speed, and low traffic — i.e. Fortino Street, Galante Lane, and Fresco Terrace. In those instances, it is desirable for units to have a connection with the street to promote a sense of community and activate the streetscape. Residents with pets typically prefer these units to have direct access to the outdoors, or those who desire an urban feel. Along 153rd and Foliage, where there is increased traffic, there are limited portions of the building adjacent to the street. On Lot 9, the majority of the building adjacent to 153rd is the Live -Work space, in which high visibility from the street is desirable. On Lot 10 there are residential units adjacent to 153rd and Foliage, and while the building is setback 10', there is an additional sidewalk and median, so the actual distance to the Tel: 612.879.6000 1301 American Blvd E. Suite 100, Bloomington, MN 55425 www.kaaswilson.com Page 1 of 3 street is between 25'-30'. Bigos Management has no concern that these are rentable units. In fact, the price and demand for the street level units at Gabella are higher than floors 2-4. Sustainability In what ways will this development be sustainable? • Low -flow plumbing fixtures to reduce water consumption. • LED light fixtures throughout units and common areas to reduce electrical usage. • Energy Star, high -efficiency appliances throughout. • High -efficiency gas heaters. • Wall assemblies are designed to exceed the minimum thermal resistance (R -Values) required by the Energy Code to provide a more efficient building envelope. Furthermore, a more efficient envelope reduces the heating and cooling demands. Operable windows and large patio doors allow residents to use natural ventilation during transitional months. • Durable, high-quality materials are specified for the exterior and interior to increase the life -span of the construction. • Double pane, low -E windows to reduce solar heat gain coefficient and reduce energy loss through windows. • Natural ponds to reduce site run-off and allow water to naturally infiltrate back into the ground. • Large amounts of green -space on site with native planting species to further support on-site infiltration of storm - water. Additionally, many trees surrounding the building will shade the building during warm summer months to help reduce the cooling load. • Secure bike parking and bike repair station to encourage bicycling. • The site has access to mass transit so residents have alternative means of transportation available. • Gabella was certified by Green Globes (Green Building Initiative for Resource Efficiency & Reduction of Environmental Impacts). We will also pursue this sustainable building achievement for Galante and Phase III. Development Features Block 9 has no pool or outdoor patio area. How will that be addressed? Block 9 and 10 will function as one complex with shared resources between the two buildings. Doors have been located along Fresco Terrace so residents can easily pass between the two building to access the other. Lot 9 offers the Live -Work space, and a full-time concierge, a rooftop deck, and community room. Lot 10 will have a community room, club room, pool, patio, fitness center, a fenced -in dog run on site, rooftop deck, and the management office. All amenities will be available to residents of both buildings. Schematic plans for the rooftop decks have been submitted to the city on October 25, 201 7. They both have been designed to overlook Kelley Park. The amenities on each includes grilling stations, firepit or outdoor fireplace, lounge furniture, dining tables, outdoor televisions, planters and shade structures. These spaces will have access control so that management can control the hours of use. Why are only one and two-bedroom units proposed in these buildings? Wouldn't the location be great for families? The unit mix was developed based on Bigos Management's experience and market analysis in the other buildings they own in Apple Valley. Gabella contains a large percentage of three-bedroom units, which they believe currently satisfies the market demand for all three phases of the Kelley Park apartment projects. They have observed that most families renting three-bedroom units are doing so on a short-term basis while constructing a single-family home in the area. Bigos Management has learned from managing Gabella and talking with potential residents, that the cost of a market - rate, three-bedroom unit is comparable to the cost of purchasing a home in this area. As such, most potential residents at that price point would prefer to purchase. Mixed Use Does the live -work area meet the requirements for mixed-use development? — CITY The live -work space was proposed to the city in early planning phases and was well received. It is a unique amenity to offer to this community, enabling entrepreneurs and small business owners a professional environment to conduct business outside their homes at a low cost. Additionally, it's a flexible space that could be used by various groups Tel: 612.879.6000 1301 American Blvd E, Bloomington, MN 55425 www.kaaswilson.com Page 2 of 3 throughout the community. At a neighborhood meeting conducted this spring, residents of the neighboring townhomes showed interest in using the space for their townhome association meetings. It is our intent that a multitude of people and functions could take place in this space. Bigos Management is still investigating on how to implement the use of this space for community use. Does the overall development meet the vision of mixed-use for this area? — CITY The plan is incomplete if the City Engineer is requesting revisions to the plan. — CITY The development team submitted all required application materials and is working with the City Engineer on coordination items. Any outstanding items will be fully resolved and addressed prior to City Council decision. Noise Will the rooftop decks create noise at night? How will outside activity impact adjacent properties? Will the pool area activity negatively impact adjacent properties? As with Gabella and Galante, outdoor amenity spaces will have restricted hours, enforceable with access -controlled doors and gates. Management will have a courtesy guard to monitor that residents will abide by these hours, to respect both the neighborhood and the other building residents. Bigos Management will comply with City noise ordinance as described between the hours of 10pm to 6am. Property Values There is concern that this development will result in decreased property values. — CITY The development team cannot comment on how this will impact property values. However, this development will be a Class -A, market -rate development with rents starting at $1,000 per month.

KELLEY PAR :A E II o o LE= Barry Bernstein Director, Parks and Recreation Public Hearing Comments Related to Kelley Park 1. Is Kelley Park being over -used or "loved to death"? Answer: Kelly Park is a busy park and functioning as intended. Kelley Park is listed in our inventory as a neighborhood park, but with the features and location of the park, it functions as a community park which typically sees a lot more use and traffic. Mentioning that Kelley Park is loved to death, in my opinion may be possibly true, but with a very popular splash pad as well as weekly concerts, Kelley Park does get a lot of notoriety and use. 2. What is the plan for adding parking to Kelley Park? How many spaces are expected to be added? When will the parking area be constructed? Answer: Kelley Park has gone through a master plan process which does indicate a large formal parking lot located on the east side of the park. The City is considering a possible bond referendum in 2018, but these discussions are very preliminary. Funding is a question and would look to constructing a parking lot if and when funding becomes available. 3. Does Parks and Recreation see a need to reduce the hours of parking around Kelley Park to ensure park users have adequate parking available? Answer: In modifying our current on street practice for parking, I wish to involve our police department for comment. My first thought is that limited hours of parking surrounding Kelley Park may create more issues than expected?

Sanitary Sewer and Water Main 26. Final locations and sizes of Sanitary Sewer and Water main shall be reviewed with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer. 27. All water mains located within right of way and public easements for purposes of connection to public infrastructure shall be ductile iron pipe and meet all City standards. 28. 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. 29. Remove unused sanitary and water service to the main and indicate on plans. Landcape and Natural Resources 30. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species. 31. Restoration/Landscape plan should indicate required buffers and appropriate seed mixtures for infiltration area, aquatic bench and upland areas associated with any stormwater basins. 32. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line. 33. 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. 34. 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%2OStandards%2ORevised%2002-09- 12.pdf) for construction and design as well as the Minnesota Storm water Manual. a. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District may be available to suggest alternative storm water practices for the site. 35. Raingardens generally need to remain offline until vegetation is established, which can be more than a year for native plant seed mixes. 36. Provide cross section and detail for the proposed infiltration basins. Proposed elevations, soil mix, plantings, etc.... should be clearly detailed. 37. The raingardens appear to currently be designed to >2.5' 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. >2.5' 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. 38. Pre-treatment is required prior to entering the raingarden. Rain Guardians have been effective for this type of proposed storm water system. 39. The raingardens shall not be installed over any utilities. BLOCK 10 Site 1. A commercial driveway entrance is required at all access points to public roadways per AV Plate No. STR-4 or STR-5. 2. Provide pedestrian curb ramp per MNDOT standard detail plates at all driveway crossings. 3. Additional ROW or Sidewalk and Trail Easements are required for the additional sidewalk along Fresco Terrace. Sidewalk shall be per City of Apple Valley Ring Route Standards. 4. NW, SW and SE comer of building is encroaching into drainage and utility easement. 5. Dog Run area is encroaching into drainage and utility easement. 6. Parking lot is encroaching into drainage and utility easements along Foliage Avenue. 7. An ISD 196 Fiber optic line exists along Foliage and should be located and indicated on plans. 8. Proposed retaining wall to parking garage will encroach into drainage and utility easements. A detail for the proposed guard rail and fence is required. 9. Removals plan should show all required patching of public roadways and sidewalks. 10. Site plan should show site line triangles at access entrances as well as on the landscape plan. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control 1. Final Grading Plans shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. 2. The City of Apple Valley Storm Water Management Plan shows public infrastructure on the site (WVR-P440.2 and WVR-P440.3). A mitigation plan for the impacted storm water basins should be provided. Public drainage contributes to these basins and future storm water management would be required to be public infrastructure. Any onsite storm water management as well as impacted public infrastructure should be denoted on the plans. 3. Routing of storm water goes to WVR-P440.1 to the east of Foliage. The NWL, 100 -year HWL and EOF should be indicated on plan sheets for storm water pond and infiltration basins. Hydraulic calculations shall be approved by the City Engineer. 4. Final Storm water Management Plan shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer. 5. Some re -grading of boulevard may be necessary to accommodate the EOF for the infiltration basins. 6. Curb cuts and pretreatment devices should be considered for infiltration basin 3. This cell should be the primary treatment of the proposed parking lot. Direct parking lot drainage to infiltration basin for treatment prior to discharge to the storm water system. 7. Provide the overall site composite Curve Number (CN) along with the impervious % on the area tabulation. 8. Soil borings/testing shall be provided in the area of infiltration features prior to building permit authorization. Storm Sewer 9. Final locations and sizes of Storm Sewer shall be reviewed with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer. 10. Provide storm sewer calculations for storm water requirements. (Rational method including Hydraulic grade lines). 11. Provide detail for FES 1 which is shown through retaining wall. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main 12. Final locations and sizes of Sanitary Sewer and Water main shall be reviewed with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer. 13. All water mains located within right of way and public easements for purposes of connection to public infrastructure shall be ductile iron pipe and meet all City standards. 14. 8" water main extending N -S along the eastern side of side will need to be removed and relocated to location as determined by City Engineer. 15. 8" water main along the south building line will need to be relocated to location as determined by City Engineer. 16. 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. 17. Remove unused sanitary and water service to the main and indicate on plans. Landscape and Natural Resources 40. Provide landscape plan for review by staff. 41. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species. 42. 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. 43. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line. 44. 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. 45. 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 Storm water Manual. a. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District may be available to suggest alternative storm water practices for the site. 46. Raingardens generally need to remain offline until vegetation is established, which can be more than a year for native plant seed mixes. 47. Provide cross section and detail for the proposed infiltration basins. Proposed elevations, soil mix, plantings, etc.... should be clearly detailed. 48. The raingardens appear to currently be designed to >2.5' 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. >2.5' 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. 49. Pre-treatment is required prior to entering the raingarden. Rain Guardians have been effective for this type of proposed storm water system. 50. The raingardens shall not be installed over any utilities.

[mailto: Sent: Friday, October 06, 2017 8:51 AM To: Murphy, Joan Subject: I don't understand ] Good morning. Regarding Planned Development No. 739 south of Kelley Park. As a home owner in Orchard Pointe for the past 16 years, I have seen a vast amount of development in this area, beginning with Home Depot. However, there are alot of things about this particular plan that I do not understand. 1. Why do you ask for input from the community AFTER construction has begun. 2. Why are you taking part of what is, or could be, Kelley Park (perhaps expand the park, not limit it) 3. I do understand the city's need for tax revenue but when is enough enough (or is there never enough). 4. Traffic volume, with 4 new apartment buildings plus a Co-op being erected in this area - it is bad now. Thank you. Florist Circle Apple Valley, MN 55124 From: [mailto: Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2017 5:13 PM To: Murphy, Joan Subject: Apple Vally Notice of Hearing To Whom it May Concern: ] live in the townhouses on 154th Street, between Foliage Avenue and Flagstaff. I am against the building of any more apartments or condos in this neighborhood. In the last year, several multiple family housing units have already gone up just to the west and south and north of the area in the attached map. We do not need any more. am against building more units because it will limit the area of "green space" surrounding the park. We will not be able to enjoy the park if all we can see are more buildings. Also, traffic is already busier because of the recent housing units that went up.
