AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Adopt resolution approving a 6' 6" side setback variance to allow construction of a window
well on Lot 15, Block 5, Apple Valley (136 Gardenview Drive).
S UM M ARY:
On February 7, 2018, the Planning C ommission unanimously recommended approval of the
variance with conditions.
Michael Tutewuhl Homes Inc., on behalf of the property owner, Bryan Mahon of 136
Gardenview Drive has requested consideration of a 6' 6" side setback variance to construct a
window well on the north side of the property where the required setback is 10'. T he window
well will allow for an additional legal bedroom in the basement due to other planned house
expansion.
T he 2030 C omprehensive Plan states that the C ity will encourage "the reinvestment and
maintenance of property" that allow residents to age in place.
T he property is located in an original Apple Valley plat, which has smaller lots. T hese lots
can create circumstances where the home is non-conforming, such as with this home. T he
required side setback is 10', and the home is 5.9' from the property line at it's closest point.
T he location of the window well will maintain a 3' side yard setback as required by the fire
code.
Staff is recommending approval of the variance due to the following practical difficulties.
1. If the home were setback the required 10' there would not be a need for the variance as
the window well would meet code requirements for a reduced setback.
2. When the home was constructed, it was not centered on the lot. If the home were placed
in the center of the lot there would not be a need for a variance.
3. T he C ity has encouraged residents to update, expand and maintain their homes.
4. T he window well cannot be placed in the rear of the home due to the location of the
utility room and the additional planned expansion.
5. T he lot does not meet the minimum lot size for "R-3" of 11,000 sq. ft.
B AC K G RO UND:
As stated in the summary section, the property owner is seeking to construct a window well
to allow for the renovation of the basement to include a legal bedroom. By the Minnesota
State Building code, bedrooms are required a window egress.
T he location of the window as shown on the survey will need to be shifted to the west to
comply with the required separation from the gas meter. Moving the window towards the rear
of the structure allows for a slightly less variance than in the current location. T he property
owner is being encouraged to place the window as far west on the home as possible so that
the actual variance is the minimum variance required.
Staff reviews variance applications based strictly upon the requirements of the State Statute
and the City C ode 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”:
T he applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
zoning provisions of the code;
T he plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the applicant; and
T he variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical dif ficulties.
In order to grant a variance, the C ity considers the following factors to determine whether the
applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provision(s) of
this C hapter:
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 property is located in the original Apple Valley plat, which has narrower lot lines
than most new lots. The home, built in 1964 was not placed in the center of the lot and is
non-conforming by being setback f rom the side lot line by only 5.9'. If the home were
setback the required 10' a variance for the window well would not be required.
2. T he 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 C omprehensive Plan goals.
3. T he special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
owner/applicant; and;
The special conditions or circumstances were not a result of the home owner or the
applicant.
4. T he 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 dif ficulties created by the placement of the house on a narrow lot.
5. T he variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical
difficulty.
The applicant is placing the window well as f ar to the rear (west) side of the property as
possible so that only the minimum variance is needed.

the construction plans with the Minnesota State Building Code, as determined by the Apple Valley
Building Official, and with the Minnesota State Fire Code, as determined by the Apple Valley Fire
Marshal.

Apple Valley resident Bill Tschohl is a staunch supporter of the A pple Valley Police
Department. He spearheaded campaigns to encourage Apple Valley citizens and business
owners to vocally support their police department. Bill has written newspaper articles, hand
written thank you notes, brought in pie for the officers, and provided each police department
employee with a certificate of support so employees have a tangible reminder of the
community’s support.
Bill also positively contributes to many other Apple Valley organizations including the
Rotary Club, Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, and a Polio Awareness Movement.
During this challenging time for the law enforcement profession, Bill constantly reminds us
that our community supports and appreciates their police department. Bill’s enthusiasm and
personal support of the police department has improved operations and motivates department
employees to continue engaging in outstanding community service. Bill’s positive influence
on the Apple Valley Police Department is greatly appreciated and is worthy of formal
recognition through this award.

T he AVBY R group has also helped families of deployed personnel by providing home
maintenance support. Additionally, the local business community is also committed to
partnering with the local WorkForce Center to assist veterans in finding employment within
the community. Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776 has also been a key supporter of
the AVBY R group since its inception.
T he C ity of Apple Valley was officially recognized as a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon

Development No. 679/Zone 3 (Recommend waiving second reading)
S taff Contact:
Thomas L ovelace, City Planner
Department / Division:

Applicant:
E lder Doyle, L L C
P roject Number:
P C17-43-O
Applicant Date: 12/18/2017 60 Days: 2/15/2018 120 Days: 4/16/2018
AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Accept the first reading, waive the second reading, and pass amendments to Planned
Development No. 679 to allow illuminated building signage on the side of buildings facing an
adjacent public street that abuts residentially zoned property or directly abuts residentially
zoned property in Zone 3.
S UM M ARY:
For your consideration is a request from Elder Doyle, LLC , to amend Planned Development
Ordinance No. 679 to allow for illuminated building signage on building elevations that
are adjacent or abutting residentially zoned property in Zone 3 of the planned development
only. T his would allow the Foliage Medical O ffice building located at 15160 Foliage
Avenue to put illuminated signage on the south and south half of west building elevations.
T he site abuts AutoZone and Discount Tire to the north, Home Depot to the east, Orchard
Point townhomes to the south, and is adjacent to the Gabella Apartments and Abra Auto
Body and Glass Repair to the west.
T he C ity's sign code currently allows for signage on the side of building that abuts business
or industrially zoned property or a public street, except where the side of the building faces
an adjacent public street that abuts residentially zoned property. C urrently, the Foliage
Medical Office building in the before-mentioned planned development is the only one
affected by this sign code regulation. In fact, a portion of the west elevation located north of
Gabella Street would be allowed illuminated signage.
Home Depot is the only other property that abuts residentially zoned property, but it is
located in Zone 2 of the planned development. T herefore, that property would not be a
beneficiary of the proposed ordinance amendments.
T he applicant originally proposed the following conditions to be applied to the amendment:
1. All signs facing west or south must be white.
2. All illuminated signs facing west or south must not exceed 125 nits in intensity.
3. All illuminated signs facing west or south must be turned off during the hours of 10:00
p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
T he Planning Commission held a public hearing concerning this request on J anuary 17,
2018. No one spoke on the night of the hearing and the hearing was closed. Staff did receive
an e-mail from a resident in the Orchard Point development who was opposed to the request
because of the additional lighting and its impact to the existing condition on the property. If
the request is approved, the C ity should be guaranteed that the illuminated signage will not
have a negative impact to his property. T herefore, a condition was added requiring the
submission of a light distribution plan to ensure the site lighting, with the addition of the
illuminated signs, will meet the applicable lighting requirements set forth in the city code.
Also at the public hearing on the 17th, the applicant stated that the signs would be
individually lit letters and he agreed to increasing the time that the illuminated signs would be
turned off. T he applicant's comments are reflected in the proposed ordinance amendments.
On February 7, 2018, the Planning C ommission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the
amendments to the planned development ordinance. T he draft ordinance reflects the
Commission's recommendation.
B AC K G RO UND:
T he applicant uses a nit as the measure of luminance for the proposed signage. A nit is a unit
of visible-light intensity, commonly used to specify the brightness of a liquid crystal display
or light-emitting diodes. Since the C ity typically uses foot-candles to measure
illumination, staff requested that the applicant provide a comparison between a nit and a foot-
candle. Information provided by the applicant states that one nit is equivalent to one candela,
formally known as candlepower, per square meter. T herefore, 125 nits is equal to 125 foot-
candles.
City code states that: "In all districts, any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking
area or sign shall be arranged so as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential zone
or from the public streets. In residential areas, any light or combination of lights that cast light
on any adjacent residential property shall not exceed 1/2 foot candle (meter reading) as
measured at the property line. Lighting fixtures for new and renovated outdoor sports and
recreational facilities that adjoin residential uses shall be designed to eliminate reflected glare
and spill light from the bottom one-third of the reflector, and to shield the view of the arc tube
from the residential property." One of the conditions in the proposed amendments is the
submission of a light distribution plan, which will measure the light intensity on the property.
T his will be used to ensure that the signage will meet the minimum light requirements set
forth in the city code.
T he Foliage Medical Office building is approximately 300 feet from the Gabella apartments
to the west and 400 feet from the nearest Orchard Point townhome. T he property where the
office building is located approximately 14 feet higher than Foliage Avenue. T he
Commission asked the applicant to provide information on the impact of sign glare on the
adjacent and abutting residential properties based upon the distance and height of those
signs.
T he applicant has submitted a drawing, which shows the light intensity at different intervals.
It indicates that the intensity lowers significantly as you move away from the building.
T herefore, it does not appear that there will be a significant impact to adjacent properties.
