Commissioner Diekmann arrived at 7:03 p.m.
A. Cobblestone Lake South Shore 9th Addition - PC 17 -19 -SF and PC17-29-ZB
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated 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. An amendment to the planned development ordinance to allow for a second drive-through
window will be necessary.
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.
Discussion followed.
MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann, recommending
approval of an ordinance amendment to allow for a second drive-through window in
conjunction with Class II restaurant in "PD-703/zone 6". Ayes - 7 - Nays - 0.

Ayes -7 -Nays -0.
C. Bigos Kelley Park Phase III — PC17-16-ZB
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 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.
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.
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.
Ms. Bodmer reviewed the site plan, landscaping, grading and utility plans and addressed the public
hearing concerns. She stated there are outstanding issues related to the project and staff is not ready
to make a recommendation at this time.

Leach Garage Variance Reauthorization (PCI 7-39-V)

Applicant Date: 11/28/2017
60 Days: 1/26/2018
Project Number:
PCI7-39-V
120 Days: 3/27/2018
ACTION REQUESTED:
Recommend approval of a variance to increase the maximum size of a detached accessory
building from 750 sq. ft. to 957 sq. ft., subject to compliance with all City Codes, the
conditions of Resolutions No. 2013-13 and 2015-107, and the following additional
conditions:
1. The exterior of the garage shall be constructed of materials that are compatible with the
exterior of the home.
2. A natural resources management permit (NRMP) shall be obtained prior to any tree
removal or site -disturbing activity.
3. The driveway to the new garage shall be paved if the garage is used for storage of
motorized vehicles.
4. The variance shall be valid for two (2) years from the date of approval.
SUMMARY:
Dr. Thomas Leach, 8460 -133rd Street Court, was granted a variance to construct a 1,248
sq. ft. detached accessory garage at the January 24, 2013, City Council meeting, with
conditions as stated in Resolution No. 2013-13. A variance approval is valid for one year,
so the variance approval lapsed before the shed could be built.
At the August 13, 2015, meeting, Dr. Leach requested reconsideration of the variance, but
reduced the size of the detached garage from 1,248 sq. ft. to 957 sq. ft. Again the variance
was granted with conditions as set forth in Resolution No. 2015-107. Circumstances
occurred that did not allow for the Dr. Leach to construct the garage. The variance granted
in 2015 has subsequently lapsed.
Dr. Leach requests reconsideration of the variance in order to construct a 957 sq. ft.
detached garage, consistent with the previously approved plans. The findings from the
previous variance requests remain true today:
1. The Leach property is 3.3 acres. Of that, approximately two acres of lawn is
maintained.
2. All landscape maintenance equipment is for personal use and not for a commercial use
or home occupation.
3. All setback requirements are met.
4. The location of the building in the rear yard will screen the building from the street and
the heavily wooded site will screen adjacent properties, maintaining the character of the
neighborhood.
5. The total area of all garages, including the existing attached garage and proposed
detached garage, does not exceed the size of the footprint of the house.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt the draft resolution setting a public hearing for January 17, 2018, to consider
amendments to Sections 155.003, 155.052, 155.078 and 155.385 of Chapter 155 of the
Apple Valley Code of Ordinances pertaining small wireless facilities.
SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission adopt a draft resolution setting a public
hearing for January 17, 2018, to consider amendments to the zoning chapter of the city code
regarding small cell wireless facilities in the city. The proposed amendments include the
following:
1. Addition of the definition of a small wireless facility to Section 155.003 (Definitions).
2. Revision to Section 155.385 (Towers and Antennas Site Design and Maintenance) to
include small cell wireless facilities.
3. Revision to Section 155.052 (Conditional Uses) to include small wireless facilities as a
conditional use in the One -Family Residential Districts.
4. Revision to Section 155.078 (Conditional Uses) to include small wireless facilities as a
conditional use in the Multiple -Family Residential Districts.
BACKGROUND:
On May 30, 2017, Gov. Dayton signed into law a bill amending Minnesota's
Telecommunications Right -of Way Law. This law created a streamlined permitting system
for placement of small wireless facilities on city -owned structures in rights-of-way. Under
the new law cities have the authority to require that an applicant apply for and receive
approval of a conditional use permit if a small cell facility is proposed in right-of-way
located in residential areas.
The proposed zoning amendments would require small wireless communication facilities to
obtain a conditional use permit if located within or abutting zoning districts that allow
residential uses, similar to what is currently required for wireless communications towers.
The proposed amendments to the zoning chapter will coincide with proposed amendments to
Chapter 97 of the city code, which regulates excavations and obstructions within the public
rights-of-way related to any utility service facility. The public hearing for amendments to
Chapter 97 will be conducted by the City Council.

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 Bigos Kelley Park development was reviewed at the Planning Commission's October
18, 2017 and November 1, 2017, meetings. At the November 1, 2017, meeting, the
petitioners provided responses to the issues identified at the public hearing. The last step
was to create a draft ordinance that incorporates the features of the new plans. The draft
ordinance is attached for the Planning Commission's review.
BACKGROUND:
Block 9: Block 9, located west of the landscaped boulevard of Fresco Terrace, 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, Block 9 would have a density of 47.8 units/acre which meets the PD -739
requirements. 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 underground 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 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, east of Fresco Terrace, 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, Block 10 would have a density of 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 also state that
constructing additional underground parking spaces will allow for more open space and green
space.
The petitioners are proposing to reduce the depth of the majority of the garage parking stalls
in the garage 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.
Staff is also proposing to amend the PD -739 district by clarifying permitted uses in Zone 2
and removing cedar and/or redwood as an acceptable exterior building material.

Development Features
Block 9 ho.s no pool o!. f.6ot be addressed?
Block 9 and 10 will function as one complex with shared resources between the two buildings. Doors have been located
alonc Fresco Terrace so residents con easily pass between the two bui ding to cccess the other. Lot 9 offers the Live -Work
-,;[-Azice„ and a full-firne concierge, a rooftop deck, and community room. Lot 10 will have a community room, club room,
pool, patio" Nness center, a fenced -in dog run on site, rooftop ceck, and the management office. All amenities will be
available to residents of both buildings.
Schematic plans fo- tne rooftoi) decks have been submitted to the city on Oc_tober 25, 201 7. They both have been
de. -signed to ove:r Ho< Kelley Park. The amenities on each includes grilling stations, frept o- outdoor fireplace, lour -ie
furniture, diiing toldi.-1.s, outdoor televisions, planters and shade structures. These spaces ill icive access control so thsit
mcincoemc,lt can control tne hours of use.
Why are only one and two-bedroom units proposed in these buildings? 'Alordn't the location be great for families?
The unit mix was developed based on Bigos Management's experience aril rric rket analysis in the other buildings they
own in Apple Valley, Gabella contains a large percentage of three-bedroom un'ts, which they believe currently satisfies
the market demand for all three phases of the Kelley Park a parrnent proiects. They have observed that most families
renting three-bedroorri units are doing so on a short-term basis while constructing a single-family home in the area.
Bigos Management has learned from r-!cir:..iginq Gobello and talking with potent -c: residents, that the cost of o
rate, three-bedroom unit is comparable to the cost cc purchasing a home in th-s crea. As such, most potential residents
at that price point v.old ;.yeter to ri7n.Jrchay.,-?.

FROM: Kathy Bodmer, Planner
DATE: October 27, 2017
SUBJECT: Barry Bernstein, Director of Parks and Recreation
Responses to Public Hearing Comments Related to Kelley Park
1. Is Kelley Park being over -used or "loved to death"?
MEMO
Community Development
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?

TO: Kathy Bodmer, Planner
FROM: Brandon S. Anderson, PE, City Engineer
DATE: November 29, 2017
SUBJECT: Bigos Kelley Park (Parkside Phase 3) Zoning Amendments to PD -739 Review per
Preliminary Plan Review dated October 25, 2017.
General
1. An Encroachment agreement will be required for all decks, patios, sidewalks, etc. located
within drainage and utility easements.
2. Vacation of drainage and utility easements over existing storm water facilities and water
main will need to occur with final plat. Additional drainage and utility easements may be
required for public infrastructure relocations.
3. A public improvement project is anticipated with this project for the relocation of water
main, storm sewer, roadway and storm water facilities.
4. All proposed retaining walls shall be privately owned and maintained.
Site & Traffic
5. SRF completed a preliminary traffic review of the Block 9 and 10 developments. The
following bullets detail our review and the findings of the study:
a. AM and PM Peak hour counts were collected on Tuesday, November 28th at 153rd
Street/Foliage Avenue and 152nd Street/Galaxie Avenue.
i. 153rd Street/Foliage Avenue has all -way stop control; Foliage Avenue is a
two-lane roadway; 153rd Street is four -lane divided roadway with left -turn
lanes.
ii. 152nd Street/Galaxie Avenue has side -street stop control along 152nd
Street; Galaxie is a four -lane divided roadway with left -turn lanes.
b. An existing intersection capacity analysis was completed using
Synchro/SimTraffic.
i. The 153rd Street/Foliage Avenue intersection operates at an acceptable
overall LOS A during the a.m. peak hour and a LOS B during the p.m.
peak hour.
ii. The 152nd Street/Galaxie Avenue intersection operates at an acceptable
overall LOS A during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours; Eastbound side -street
delays during the p.m. peak hour average over 40 seconds, with 95th
percentile queues reaching approximately 175 feet (i.e. approximately 7-8
vehicles).
c. A preliminary crash analysis was completed using the most recent five-years of
available crash data (2011-2015) at the study intersections.
i. This indicates that the 152nd Street/Galaxie Avenue intersection crash rate
exceeds the average crash rate for similar intersections, but does not
exceed the critical crash rate.
ii. There would need to be an additional four (4) crashes (approximately 1
per year) to exceed the critical rate.
iii. The 153rd Street/Foliage Avenue crash rate is below both the average and
critical crash rates.
d. A background growth rate of 1.5 percent was used to account for background
traffic growth in the area. This is consistent with the Apple Valley Transportation
Plan.
e. A trip generation review was completed on the Preliminary Assessment for
Blocks 9 and 10 completed by Spack Consulting. The trip generation used was
found to be accurate, which identified that the 175 apartments would generate 63
a.m. peak hour trips and 77 p.m. peak hour trips.
f. A future (i.e. one year after build) intersection capacity analysis was completed
using Synchro/SimTraffic.
i. The 153rd Street/Foliage Avenue intersection operates at an acceptable
overall LOS A during the a.m. peak hour and a LOS B during the p.m.
peak hour.
ii. The 152nd Street/Galaxie Avenue intersection operates at an acceptable
overall LOS A during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours; Eastbound side-street
delays during the p.m. peak hour average over 70 seconds, with 95th
percentile queues reaching approximately 300 feet (i.e. approximately 15
vehicles); This type of side-street delay can be common during the peak
hours.
1. If these delays and queues become a significant issue, a
preliminary warrants analysis could be completed to determine if a
signal would be warranted or necessary. Additionally, observations
were made during the data collection process that indicates that
crossing Galaxie Avenue can be difficult for pedestrians during the
peak periods. A traffic signal could improve access across Galaxie
Avenue.
6. Provide a narrative of how the buildings will be constructed and any impacts. The
narrative shall include the following:
a. Shoring and construction of the underground garages.
b. Material Storage.
c. Haul routes to and from the site.
d. Phasing
7. Additional Pedestrian markings and signage on public roadways should be evaluated
further for safe routes to the Public Park and adjacent facilities.
8. Additional signage is required by applicant to indicate no overnight parking on City
Streets.
9. Plans should include reference to all used City of Apple Valley standard detail plates.
10. Show locations of proposed lighting fixtures for parking lots and site.
BLOCK 9
Site
11. A pork -chop at the access along 153rd Street for the Block 9 building would reinforce the
one-way westbound nature of the roadway. A one-way sign could be installed on the
south side of the roadway, but may be occasionally be blocked by parked vehicles.
Parking along Gallante Lane could remain on both sides as angled parking. 90 -Degree
parking is not recommended, as it can be difficult for motorists to see drivers along the
roadway. Parallel parking would reduce the amount of parking in the area, which is
heavily used during summer months.
12. The sidewalk along the south of the proposed driveway entrance should be relocated to
alignment with the sidewalk connection to the north of the entrance.
13. A commercial driveway entrance is required at all access points to public roadways per AV
Plate No. STR-4 or STR-5.
14. Provide pedestrian curb ramp per MNDOT standard detail plates at all driveway crossings.
15. 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.
16. SE corner of building is encroaching into drainage and utility easement.
17. Parking lot is encroaching into drainage and utility easements in the SW corner and SE
comer.
18. Removals plan should show all required patching of public roadways and sidewalks.
19. Site and landscape plan should show site line triangles at access entrances.
Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control
20. 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
stormwater management would be required to be public infrastructure.
21. 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.
22. Final Grading Plans shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer.
23. Final Stormwater Management Plan shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer.
24. Curb cuts and pretreatment devices should be considered for infiltration basin 2. This cell
should be the primary treatment of proposed parking lot.
25. Soil borings/testing shall be provided in the area of infiltration features prior to building
permit authorization.
Storm Sewer
26. Final locations and sizes of Storm Sewer shall be reviewed with the final construction plans
and approved by City Engineer.
27. Provide storm sewer calculations for stormwater requirements. (Rational method including
Hydraulic grade lines).
28. Re-route outlet from Infiltration Basin 2. This should not be routed to underground
storage, but to infiltration basin 1.
29. Existing 24" RCP from Fortino should be relocated away from the infiltration basin 1
outlet to prevent short circuiting of basin.
30. Existing 21" RCP FES from WVR-P440.3 (infiltration basin 1) shall be removed.
31. An underground infiltration system construction and maintenance agreement will be
required as part of the development agreement.

located 1.5 times the height of the building away from the building or placed in location
readily accessible per SER -6.
36. Remove unused sanitary and water service to the main and indicate on plans.
Landcape and Natural Resources
37. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species.
38. Restoration/Landscape plan should indicate required buffers and appropriate seed mixtures
for infiltration area, aquatic bench and upland areas associated with any stormwater basins.
39. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line.
40. 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.
41. 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.
42. Raingardens generally need to remain offline until vegetation is established, which can be
more than a year for native plant seed mixes.
43. Provide cross section and detail for the proposed infiltration basins. Proposed elevations,
soil mix, plantings, etc.... should be clearly detailed.
44. 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.

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.

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"

Subject: Public hearing
City Council,
My family and I live in Apple valley now for over 11 years and have enjoyed every minute of it.
This city offers everything for a very high quality of life and makes it a perfect place to raise a family for
generations.
Today I received the notice about the hearing on May 17th about the proposed building site. To be honest, this
is something that really concerns me and my neighbors.
Over the past few years the city has approved and allowed residential buildings all over town. We, as residents
and parents, have noticed the changes.
First and foremost, schools are feeling the effect of increased housing. Classes sizes are increasing by the year
and not by one or two kids. This year, my son's class have 5 kids more than it should.
Traffic has increased and accidents are on the rise (just check police records). Kids are no longer as save as
they used to be in our streets. Too many distracted drivers as is, why increase the risk?
With the number of houses built in past few years, home values have not gone up and most places are turning
in to rentals and affordable housing that can, and did, bring petty crime all over town.
Our trees and landscape are dwarfing between large buildings and structures, creating narrow streets and a
downtown feel. That is not the reason people want to live here.
I understand progress and the need for capital, but some sacrifices are not worth and on the long run people
will suffer, our system will no longer be sufficient to support the amount of residents. What will we do then?
Pave parks for parking?
I will be attending the meeting along with many of mine neighborhood friends to discuss this option and voice
our concerns and make our objection heard.

Good morning. Regarding Planned Development #739 - 2 apartment buildings
I have lived on Florist Circle in AV since 2001 and have seen a great many changes in this area over the years. From Home
Depot to more townhomes and apartment buildings to pumpkin patches replaced with a hotel, a park, restaurants and
shops, to luxury apartments across from the park and on and on.
Don't get me wrong, these changes are not all bad, however, they have created an incredible increase in traffic on all the
affected streets in this area.
Now 2 new apartment buildings are already under construction next to Kelley Park, adding an additional 240 (to possibly
double that) vehicles to these streets around here.
Since construction is already underway, I assume it will continue no matter what the community has to say.
I would be interested to know what plans have been made to accommodate the additional people, vehicles and traffic.
Thank you.

I cannot attend the proposed meeting on Wednesday, May 17, but do want to voice my concerns.
have recently purchased a town home on Founders Lane across from the Ecumen center. The reason I did
purchase was because there was no obstructed views and "5 floor buildings" obstructing the park and I felt like
was more in a "family residential" setting than an Apartment MASSIVE MULTI LEVEL living environment. By
allowing them to put up these huge buildings, not only are you obstructing our view of the park, but you CLOSING
IN THE PARK, by the large apartments. You are adding more people in an already highly congested area. You
are increase the opportunities for crime and you are aesthetically ruining the appealing side of Apple Valley as a
community.
don't have a problem with a small 1 level retail setting like on Galaxie — to provide some new shops and small
restaurants to the area that will make it more appealing for those townhomes and apartments already there, but
by building and house so many apartments, it will ruin the landscape of the area and take the park away from all
of us homeowners in the townhome areas adjacent.
Why would you do that? Take away the one park we have. Not only that, if you put these huge unit complexes
there, the park will overflowing with people and ruined in no time. I will certainly move.
don't know how others feel, but I just moved here last August and I will move again based on what the planning
commission is allowing to happen to that land. I feel that land should be kept as a park and expanding that park,
not limiting it to make us a mini NY.
I'm only one voice, but I know others feel the same. You lower our property values considerably with this plan as
well.
One, not happy Apple Valley Citizen.

Subject: Amendment Meeting 5/17/2017
I had planned on attending the meeting this evening regarding the proposed mix use development around
Kelley Park in Apple Valley. However, I will not be able to attend.
I wanted to send in the following, in hopes that the planning commission might consider a few different options
for that space.
Planning Commission,
Apple Valley is a very desirable location in which to reside, I myself have lived in Apple Valley for 8 of the last 10
years, all within the area south of 42, north of 160th and between Flagstaff and Foliage.
Kelley Park is a "stones throw" from my current residence in the Orchard Point development.
Considering the already high density of town homes, apartments, and condos in the area, all with little to no
"yard" space. I respectfully urge the planning commission to not approve the proposed spaces for additional
apartment style dwellings. I've listed below my personal opinions on different options for that space that would
lead to a greater community!
What would I like to see happen in these lots instead of apartment buildings?
• Dog park
o the nearest dog park to this area is 3.6 (Alimagnet Dog Park) miles away, considering the style of homes
in the area (townhome and apartments) having the option to take pets to a close by open space would
increase peoples community satisfaction. I live in a townhome where I'm required by law and
Association rules to keep my dog on a leash at all times. It would be so nice if I could walk across the
street /down the block to a dog park and let her run! In fact, in my townhome development alone, I
would argue that 50% of residents own a dog.
o Having a dog park in the community would offer an opportunity for the local residents to get to know
each other. Dogs cross cultural and demographic barriers
• Expanded picnic/shelter areas
o Kelley Park is a very busy place in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Most often when I am walking around
the park area during those months, you see families that don't have a table to place there picnic lunch,
or a sheltered area to keep them out of the sun. While there is a smaller sheltered area, I believe the
traffic to the park requires additional shelters and picnic tables.
• Community garden
o Much like my argument for a dog park, there is a great opportunity to increase community satisfaction
by creating a community gardening space. Again, given they style of homes in the area, no one is able to
or has ample enough space to plant a vegetable garden or grow flowers.
o Having the ability to garden and grown food can also contribute to tackling the issue of "food insecurity"
that is happening in Dakota County. An estimated 13% of children in Dakota County are food insecure.
What if by developing a community gardening space, families and children were able to economically
grown nutritious food options? 8% of the total population of Dakota County is food insecure, that's
more than 32K people!
o Link to document:
https://www.co.dakota.mn. us/Government/publiccommittees/CHA/Documents/Nutrition.pdf
Other options for this space:
• Prairie Restoration/Preservation
• Skate Park
• larger play ground area
• better parking (off street) for park visitors
• Gazebo
• Water Pond (rain water filtration)
In the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Kelley Park, this open space is invaluable. It offers the
opportunity to get a breath of fresh air, take a walk, enjoy the sun or watch the sunsets.
There is so much development happening in Apple Valley, and it's only increased in the last 2 years, I kindly
request that the planning commission not approve the development of additional apartment buildings, but
consider alternative options that will better reflect the needs of the area and increase community pride and
satisfaction.
I am available to discuss the above further if needed.
Best,
Flower Way

Subject: PD -179
Hi,
My name is , I am a lifetime Apple Valley resident and recent property owner in the legacy
townhomes development near PD -179. I apologize that this is a bit late, and realize that at this point my
comments may not matter as the meeting was last week regarding this, but the letter notifying me of the public
hearing got lost in the bustle and I only just read it yesterday.
Unfortunately I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the way that this area of Apple Valley has begun
to be developed.
When I bought my home over a year ago, word on the street was that this area of Apple Valley, referred to as
the "Central Village" was planned to be a development that would attract young professionals and young
families out of Minneapolis, by providing a similar experience in a suburban environment.
As one of these young professionals, I had high hopes for an area that would include Kelley Park, and that would
eventually include more apartments yes, but include more developments like the legacy shops (which includes
Panino Brothers). Something like what Maple Grove has done with their shops at arbor lakes, which have parks
and apartments within walking distance of the shops and unique restaurants and bars. This walkability is a
quality that attracts people to the Uptown area of Minneapolis in droves.
Seeing that more Parkside apartments are currently going in on the lot off Galaxie, and that they are advertising
themselves on their website as a way to experience city life in the suburbs, it was then all the more
disappointing to learn that not only are more apartments going in in blocks 9 and 10, but that the new PD -179
on block 10, is going to have an indoor park instead of the possibility of unique bars, restaurants, and shops, all
within walking distance, that might have actually made the "Central Village" a place that people would want to
spend their time in.
Upon learning this I could only conclude that either A, Apple Valley has abandoned that original plan for a
destination central village, or B. They severely misunderstand what people enjoy about living in the city.
My demographic (even, or from what I have witnessed, especially those who live in areas like Apple Valley)
typically travel out in the evenings/weekends into places like uptown Minneapolis, for the variety of walkable
bars and unique non chain restaurants. Something I had hoped to experience a bit of in this proposed central
village, to enjoy the walkable nature of a place like uptown, without the hustle and bustle of the city. Most
importantly from the perspective of the city, many of us seek a way to remain (i.e spend our money) in the area
on the weekends, but have yet to find an experience similar enough to draw us back in.
Apple Valley had the opportunity to create a wonderful space surrounding Kelley Park, in which seniors, families,
and young professionals could all find things to enjoy. Instead, it appears to be shaping up only to be a "Central
Village" in the fact that it is centrally located, and has the highest density of residents.
My apologies if that was blunt, but I felt it was important to explain the disappointment I, and many of my
fellow residents are feeling, that this area is being robbed of it's potential to be a true destination within Apple
Valley.

Central Village
Good to see some development in the Central Village area. hope you'll be able to include mixed use
development and not just residential. There may be a limit to the amount of commercial the city can, utilize. A
suggestion would be to somehow move the businesses in the Times Square area to the Central village and then
redevelop Times Square (no idea how you'd make this happen). Having a cool walkable downtown still seems
very appealing.
Just my 2 cents.

ITEM: 5.B.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: December 6, 2017
SECTION: Land Use /Action Items
Description:
Greenleaf Elementary Site Improvements - PC17-34-BF
Staff Contact:
Kathy Bodmer, Al CP, Planner
Department / Division:
Community Development Department
Applicant:
Independent School District 196
Applicant Date: 10/17/2017
60 Days: 12/15/2017
Project Number:
PCI7-34-B F
120 Days: 2/13/2018
ACTION REQUESTED:
Recommend approval of the Site Plan for driveway modifications and parking lot
improvements, subject to compliance with all City codes and the following conditions:
1. The civil plans including grading, drainage, utilities and storm water management are
subject to final review and approval of the City Engineer; release of the Natural
Resources Management Permit (NRNP) financial guarantee is subject to compliance
with the final approved plans.
2. The landscape plan, including infiltration basin plantings, are subject to final review and
approval by the Natural Resources Coordinator.
3. A nursery bid list shall be submitted that confirms that the value of the landscape
plantings meets or exceeds 2-1/2% of the value of the construction of the building
based on Means Construction Data; release of the NRMP financial guarantee is subject
to compliance with the 2-1/2% value requirement.
4. The petitioner shall execute an Infiltration Maintenance Agreement to ensure the long-
term maintenance of the underground storm water infiltration structures prior to release
of the NRMP financial guarantee.
SUMMARY:
Project Summary: ISD 196 requests consideration of Site Plan Review approval for
exterior site improvements at Greenleaf Elementary School located at 13333 Galaxie Ave.
The Greenleaf improvement project will be comprised of two phases with Phase 1 consisting
of a 3,200 sq. ft. building addition and Phase 2 consisting of the exterior site work. Limited
site work will occur in Phase 1 to prepare the site for the building addition.
As in many of the other ISD 196 projects, site work at Greenleaf Elementary will be done to
improve internal site circulation by separating parent traffic from bus traffic. The Phase 2
site work will include removing a driveway on the north side of the site and shifting the new
access further north so that it aligns with 133rd Street W. The new northern drive access will
be 460' feet long and provide for stacking of parent vehicles on the north side of the site.
The new north access will tie into the north side of the existing parking lot to create a loop
for the parent traffic. Buses will continue to use the south portion of the parking lot.
Parking: The City does not have a parking requirement for elementary schools. Staff has
used a recommended parking formula that would require one space for every four students
and one space for every three employees, which means a total of 270 spaces would be
required; 165 spaces are available on the site. The School District's architect provided a
letter (attached) that analyzes parking demand at the school. The School District states that
the City's parking calculation is very high compared to neighboring communities. Staff is
comfortable with the number of parking spaces currently provided based on the parking
analysis.
Galaxie Ave Pedestrian Crosswalk: In addition to the site improvements, the City
Engineer is reviewing the existing mid -block crosswalk on Galaxie Avenue. The current
crosswalk is a safety concern for parents, staff and the City. The City Engineer is pursuing
grant funding from the Safe Routes to School program to relocate the crosswalk and install a
warning light system to notify motorists of pedestrians. Moving the crosswalk will provide
better visibility for vehicles and pedestrian -activated signals should improve the safety of the
crosswalk. The City Engineer indicates that the project is not likely to be funded until 2019
at the earliest. In the meantime, if the project is awarded, the existing crosswalk would
remain until the new crosswalk and signal are constructed. If the grant funding does not cover
the entire cost of the project, ISD 196 will be asked to contribute to the cost of a new ped
ramp and push button abutting its property and removal of the existing ramp on the west side
of Galaxie Ave.
Parking on the Grass on North Side of Building: The City has received complaints that
school staff and visitors often park in the field north of the school. The zoning code requires
that motor vehicles must be parked on a paved surface; parking on the grass is not permitted
except for exceptional circumstances. It appears that the drivers are driving over the curb
and along a portion of the trail in order to park in this area. Parking on the north side of the
building is likely more convenient than using the lot south of the building. Two alternatives
are available to address the issue: (1) construct a parking lot on the north side of the building,
or (2) install landscape plantings, non -surmountable curb or other features that would prevent
the cut -through in this location. The best alternative would be to direct staff and visitors to
only park in the parking lot. Staff has been working with ISD 196 and they are very
receptive to address the best alternative.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kathy Bodmer, City of Apple Valley
From: Scott McQueen, Wold Architects and Engineers 1 SM
Date: November 22, 2017
Revised November 29, 2017
Comm. No: 152312
Subject: Independent School District #196
Greenleaf Elementary School Parking Requirement/Parking Study
As the District proposes development at its existing Greenleaf Elementary School to implement
improved safety and security at its entrance, the proposal includes a 3,200 square foot addition to
place the School's main office directly adjacent to the front door to promote security and
welcoming.
This project has no net effect on capacity as the addition is for administrative function and not
additional student capacity.
In review of Apple Valley City ordinances, we understand there is not a specific parking
requirement for a school building type. We do understand that the city staff have come up with a
guideline that suggests one parking stall for every four students in building capacity plus one stall
for every three staff. This guideline therefore calls for 270 parking stalls based upon the proposed
changes. We have found this guideline to be unrealistic based upon current elementary school
projects in adjacent municipalities within District #196.
Using Greenleaf Elementary, whose student population is 910 students, 125 staff members, and 36
classrooms, we can compare the variety of municipalities.
Municipality Requirement/Guideline Resulting Stall Count
Apple Valley One Stall per 4 Students 270 Stalls
One Stall per 3 Staff
Rosemount One Stall per 20 Students 82 Stalls
One per classroom
Eagan No requirement per TBD Stalls
individual review
Lakeville One Stall per 7 Students 130 Stalls
Burnsville One Stall per 2 classrooms 143 Stalls
One Stall per Staff member

We have also found the Apple Valley guideline for stall requirement to be in excess of what is
found at every public elementary school site in Apple Valley.
School AV Guideline Actual Deficit?
Diamond Path 219 136 83
Westview 197 103 94
Cedar Park 207 85 122
Highland 189 78 111
Greenleaf 270 165 105
Southview 213 97 116
We understand that schools often are unique facilities that require individual review and as such
are often "conditional use." We also acknowledge there are a handful of events each year in which
an elementary school can never have enough parking, such as:
• Open House/Conferences
• Grandparents Day
• Large Celebrations
• Evening Student Performances and Events
As for daily use of an elementary school and the parking needs, there is a daily pattern, which is
fairly consistent throughout the year that can be studied. There are a handful of stalls available on
any given day in the main lot at Greenleaf.
The current configuration at Greenleaf Elementary is 165 spaces. It would seem that there is
adequate parking at the site currently. It appears the average daily demand is around 125 stalls for a
current student population of 910. We would project a post development capacity of approximately
the same amount of students; therefore, parking in excess of 125 stalls would appear to be sufficient,
if we assume proportionality and compare to similar District facilities. The proposed development,
currently, is to maintain the current 165 stalls.
Concurrent with the building entrance project, the District is proposing to reconfigure the parent
drop-off to provide additional safe stacking of parents' vehicles on site. Currently there is very
limited space to stack parents' vehicles at the entry of the school. The revised layout relocates the
parent entry further north and creates a longer internal driveway, which is anticipated to shorten
the queue out onto Galaxie Avenue.
The design as submitted indicates a total parking capacity of 165 cars. This exceeds our observed
demand and our calculated need by approximately 40 cars. Therefore, we are not recommending an
increase or decrease to the existing parking at this time.
MEMORANDUM
Page 3 of 3
We have developed this recommendation with our clients at District #196 and they believe this site
adequately meets their needs. The data we were able to gather, and what we have experienced
planning dozens of elementary schools, seems to support this recommendation.
Let us know if you have any follow-up questions or concerns.

MEMO
Public Works
TO: Kathy Bodmer, Planner
FROM: Brandon S. Anderson, City Engineer
DATE: November 29, 2017
SUBJECT: Greenleaf School Addition Final Plat
Alex,
The following are comments regarding the Greenleaf School Addition site plans dated November
08, 2017. Please include these items as conditions to approval.
General
1. All work and infrastructure within public easements or right of way shall be to City
standards.
2. Provide a narrative of how the buildings will be constructed and any impacts prior to
building permit authorization. The narrative shall include the following:
a. Shoring (if applicable)
b. Material Storage.
c. Haul routes to and from the site.
d. Phasing
3. A Traffic Control plan shall be submitted and approved for all lane or street closures by the
contractor. Flagmen shall be provided as necessary.
4. Notification is required 7 days in advance of lane or street closures. 7 -day advance warning
signage and notices for the closure shall be provided by the contractor.
5. The City of Apple Valley will apply for a safe routes to school grant for 2019 for
installation of a High-intensity Activated Crosswalk or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK)
to be installed across Galaxie Avenue at the new sidewalk connection to the main entrance
located between the drop off parking lot and existing parking lot. It is expected that ISD
196 contribute to the additional pedestrian ramp and push button to be installed at the time
of HAWK installation on the west side of Galaxie as well as the removal of existing
pedestrian ramps and curbs. The existing crosswalk and refuge island in Galaxie Avenue is
to remain in current location until HAWK is installed. Existing pedestrian ramps and
striping to Galaxie shall be removed once the HAWK is installed. Plans should reflect
future crosswalk location.
Permits
6. Provide a copy of the executed Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, Met Council, Department of Labor and any other required permits prior to
building permit authorization.
7. A right of way permit will be required for all work within public easements or right of
way.
8. A Natural Resource Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land
disturbing activity commences.
Site
9. Provide additional drawing showing Auto tum turning movements to verify site circulation
and layout requirements for planned vehicle usage to be used onsite. Please indicate (or
show vehicle) stacking distances on the plan as circulation indicates potential for vehicles
to back up onto public roadways at exit and entrance access' to the site. Show truck
movement with Auto turn entering site to ensure emergency and service vehicle can
maneuver directly to front entrance.
Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control
10. Final Grading Plans shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer.
11. Final Storm water Management Plan shall be reviewed and approved by City Engineer.
12. Erosion control measures shall be installed prior to beginning grading operations.
13. Street sweeping shall be performed as necessary to address material tracking from the site.
14. Soil borings/testing shall be provided in the area of infiltration features prior to building
permit authorization.
Sanitary Sewer, Water Main and Storm Sewer
15. Final locations and sizes of Sanitary & Storm Sewer and Water main shall be reviewed
with the final construction plans and approved by City Engineer.
Landcape and Natural Resources
16. Landscape plan should clearly indicate drainage and utility easements and property line.
17. 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.
18. Quantities and locations of trees should be indicated on plan to show diversity of species.
