Jardin (har-DEEN) Academy Daycare/Jardin Addition — PC19-08-SCBF Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. Planner Kathy Bodmer stated the petitioners, including the applicant, Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate, and the property owner, Kilber Investments, LLC, request consideration of actions that would allow them to split the 1.86 -acre parcel at 14605 Glazier Ave to create a new lot for a two- story daycare building. The land use actions requested include a subdivision by preliminary plat to split the lot, conditional use permit (CUP) for a daycare facility in the "LB" (Limited Business) zone, and site plan review/building permit authorization to construct a 12,200 sq. ft. daycare facility. The subject parcel at 14605 Glazier Ave, abuts the Glazier Townhomes to the south and Valley South, a single family subdivision, to the east. The property was initially developed in 1990 with the building and parking lot placed on the north half of the lot to allow for additional development in the future. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 2 of 8 The property is currently zoned "LB" (Limited Business) which lists a daycare facility as a conditional use in the zoning district. A conditional use is a use allowed in a zoning district by conditional use permit upon which the City Council may place reasonable conditions to offset possible impacts caused by the use. The petitioners would like to establish an outdoor play area on the west side of the building which will place the building between the play area and the properties to the east and should help to act as a screen. A screening fence will be needed to help to provide screening of the noise and activities from the townhome properties to the south. The site plan shows that the building will be placed on the west side of the site with the parking lot to the east. The plans show that one access drive would be installed to serve the new daycare site. The front entrance to the building will be on the north side of the building which will be served by a sidewalk that extends from the parking lot, to the building, then extends west to connect to Cedar Ave. An auto -turn drawing will be required to demonstrate how emergency, delivery and service vehicles will be able to circulate within the site. Two outdoor play areas are shown on the west side of the building between the building and Cedar Ave. The play area is proposed to be secured with a prefinished metal "picket" type fence. Ms. Bodmer said three on-site storm water infiltration basins are shown on the site to help filter and infiltrate storm water. Water and sanitary sewer services are available to the site from Glazier Ave. Storm sewer is not readily available. The petitioner proposes providing all stormwater drainage on- site, but is showing outflow onto the Glazier Ave curb and gutter. She said the City Engineer states that the proposed drainage system does not meet City requirements and that he will work with the petitioner's engineer to address the need to connect to City storm sewer for overflow needs. Commissioner Scanlan commented with the concern use of the parking lot and asked if we would be better to look at having inground water run-off holding to give move flexibility to the parking and give more options too for screening from the residential zones versus trying to have these holding areas and then trying to make all this work in this tight space. Ms. Bodmer replied that the petitioner could respond to that concern as the underground is considered a structure and there is an expense to that. She added that the petitioner is trying to set up the drainage so that the site is able to infiltrate all its stormwater. Commissioner Burke asked if there would be any change in the tree planting by adding a fence on the south property line. Ms. Bodmer answered no and that it provides more room for the trees and that is a benefit that way. Anette Haaner-Roman, Jardin, said they are very excited to be working on this project and they believe this building will fully compliment the surrounding uses and the Apple Valley community at large. She said it is welcoming and is a Spanish Immersion school on site. Commissioner Alwin asked how many cars would be parked there during a normal day for the staff. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 3 of 8 Quinn Hutson, CNH Architects, answered that there are 10-12 cars associated with teachers. Commissioner Alwin asked if there were any events where all the families would be there at the same time such as holiday programs. Mr. Hutson replied not like at an elementary school. Commissioner Scanlan said he has concern with removing the center parking stalls that kind of gave some direction to the parking lot with the leaving and dropping off of the kids. Mr. Hutson said they are working with staff on that yet. He said he sees the point and other things come to mind that they could address that. Commissioner Kurtz referenced the townhomes to the south of the site and asked why the play area is not designed on the north side of the building rather than the west side. Mr. Hutson said there were some aspects of locating the stormwater ponds and the flow of where the students come out on the south side in a fenced area to access the play area. They never come out into an open area that is not controlled. They would not be able to achieve that if the students came out the north main entrance. Commissioner Kurtz asked why there could not be a fence put up there. Mr. Hutson replied not at the main entrance to the building. Commissioner Scanlan asked where they ended up with the number of parking spots after the redesign of the lot compared to what was first there. Mr. Hutson said they are meeting the minimum even with reductions and they continue to work with staff on that. He showed material samples of brick and textured materials and said 60 percent of the building is brick. Commissioner Scanlan asked if the accent orange toned color is painted or an anodized material and if it would need protection from fading and the long term viability of it. Mr. Hutson said it is actually an acrylic stucco finish, EFIS style, and is long term and holds up very well. Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist wanted to clarify Commissioner Kurtz's comment about placement of the play area in alignment to the townhomes to the south. The proposed building footprint closely approximates its neighbor to the north and so it almost puts the entire building forward of the townhome placement to the south. He asked Mr. Hutson that when the development is put on the north side of the building, you need to create a focal point whether it be color or height, otherwise people who visit this building cannot find the building or cannot find the front door. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 4 of 8 Mr. Hutson said that is exactly why they position and design as they did. By putting the main entry on the north side it provides by making it a taller colorful element in comparison to the rest of the building. It draws your attention to that as your entry. If they had put it on the parking lot side people do not get that perspective as they are driving by as where to enter this building and find that identity. He added that is why they did look at that north side entry rather than facing all the activity to the east. Laura Bickford, 14620 Glazier Avenue, said her concerns include the increased traffic, the bright orange building and wondering what this would do to their property values. Kevin Bickford, 14620 Glazier Avenue, asked if there were any plans to work on the amount of traffic flow through the neighborhood because it would certainly increase the traffic along with the proposed strip mall a block north. Chair Melander said staff will analyze traffic and it should be in the report at the next meeting and said the traffic coming to the site would be spread out during the day. He explained the process and that the Planning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council where the final decision is made by them. He said the petitioner will work with staff. He added that the Planning Commission is limited on what they can do and are not involved in the economics but land use. Kevin Bickford asked if in the event there was increased traffic flow would there be permissible parking on the street and back up issues due to that. Ms. Bodmer answered that is something staff would have to look at. She added an overview was received but not completely reviewed yet but the overall sense is it should not be like a retail development or shopping center and that the site should have lower traffic than that. Mr. Bickford asked if in rezoning this lot would there be future issues with other developments coming in that are commercial rather just a daycare, or in 10 years could this turn into a McDonalds or a gas station. Chair Melander answered that we get all kinds of applications and they cannot guide who is going to apply or what kind of a use could potentially be there and if it is zoned commercial there is a wide range of things that you might like less than this. Ms. Bodmer added that the guidance on the property is commercial in the Comp Plan and zoning is limited business and that limits it to professional offices and is more restrictive. So under the current zoning a McDonalds could not go in there. Ms. Bickford said she had a concern for the location of the dumpster and that it was directly across the street from their house. She said trees could shield it and asked what residential buffering was. Ms. Bodmer explained what buffering was and said along the east line, which is the front of the lot, could be lower level shrubs that would help with the headlights and activity within the parking lot. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 5 of 8 Mr. Bickford asked if there were any possible benefits to residential homeowners in the area. Ms. Bodmer replied that she would write that comment down. Ms. Bickford said they understand the benefit of the daycare in the community but their feelings are that there is so much open space in Apple Valley so why try to squeeze it into this nice little wooded lot right across the street from our house where our kids can play. Ms. Bickford inquired when construction would start. Chair Melander said it could be this summer once all the approvals are in. Mr. Bickford asked what the projected completion date would be. Mr. Hutson said the middle of winter like February or March. Commissioner Alwin asked Ms. Bodmer to make a note about construction and what the time and hours would be. Commissioner Scanlan asked about the traffic flow and when the peak times would be for kids being dropped off and picked up again. Mr. Hutson replied that the daycare would be opened from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the drop off time usually for 1 1/2 hours in the morning and pick-up times would be middle of the afternoon until 6:00 p.m. Commissioner Scanlan asked about the neighbor and the trash enclosure and asked if it could be rotated to the south property line so the opening is facing to the north rather than the east. Mr. Hutson said the trash enclosure needs to be behind the building setback unlike the parking setback so it does not fit by the edge of the site because it would be out into the parking lot and it should blend right in with materials used for the building and the enclosure has metal doors. Cory Jensen, 7411 — 146th Way W., expressed concern about traffic at Cedar Ave and 145th Street W. because the stop light for the turn lane is so short there and he asked if they plan to address that. He said, as it is now, that only one or two cars can get through there and that could back up the traffic on Cedar Avenue. Ms. Bodmer said the comment is noted and staff will look into it. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. 5. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 6 of 8 A. Planned Development No. 703 zoning Amendments — PC19-06-Z City Planner Tom Lovelace stated Emperor Avenue Realty, LLC is requesting an amendment to Planned Development Ordinance No. 703 to allow a Class III restaurant to have drive-through window service in zone 6 of the Cobblestone Lake planned development. Zone 6, which encompasses approximately 49 acres, is bounded by Pilot Knob Road to the west, 155th Street West to the north, Cobblestone Lake Parkway and Cobblestone Lake to the east, and the North Creek Greenway trail to the south. A little over half of zone 6 is occupied by the Orchard Path continuum - of -care facility (12 acres) and Target (17 acres). Two vacant parcels totaling 1.2 acres also exist within the zone. He said the applicant is currently constructing an 8,148 -sq. ft. multi -tenant retail building on a 1.26 - acre lot located in the southeast corner of 157th Street West and Emperor Avenue. The building includes a drive-through window for a future restaurant at the north end of the building. The drive- through lane wraps around the east and north sides of the building. At the time of the approval of site plan/building permit authorization on November 9, 2017, the applicant also received approval of a zoning amendment to allow for a second drive-through window in conjunction with a Class II restaurant in zone 6 of the planned development. They are now asking that the City consider further amending the ordinance to allow for a Class III restaurant, in particular a coffee shop, with drive-through window service. This coffee shop would occupy the north end of their new building. No changes to their approved plans are being requested with the addition of a coffee shop. Commissioner Alwin asked for clarification that all of zone 6 is already approved for two drive- through windows. Mr. Lovelace said yes. Commissioner Scanlan expressed concern for the lack of landscaping along the east boundary to screen the drive-through from Orchard Path if there would be stacking concerns and the vehicle headlights would be directed toward Orchard Path. He added that there are two residential structures less than 1000 feet from this site. He was concerned that the start time would be at 6:00 a.m. and said starting at 7:00 a.m. would be a reasonable compromise. Commissioner Alwin commented that we may be trying to solve a problem that may not exist and that the applicant had already met the 21/2% requirement for landscaping. Chair Melander suggested staff could deal with the applicant if there would need to be more landscaping installed due to headlight concerns. MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin, recommending approval of an ordinance amendment to allow for a Class III restaurant with drive- through window service as a permitted use, subject to the following conditions: CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 7 of 8 • The restaurant shall be located within a multi -tenant building and shall not occupy more than 50% of the building and shall not exceed 2,500 square feet of floor area. • The drive-through window operation hours shall be confined to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. • The City Council shall find that any noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles resulting from the operation of the window does not negatively impact surrounding residential and institutional uses. • The drive-through lane shall not impede or conflict with vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic circulation on the site, as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. • When a neighborhood restaurant is located less than 1,000 feet from residential or institutional use, the City Council may restrict the hours of operation of a drive-through window to mitigate any adverse impacts caused by noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles. • The restaurant shall not serve foods that requires the installation of a Type I ventilation hood, grease and smoke removing, as defined in the Uniform Mechanical Code. • The applicant shall work with City staff to determine if there is any impact from light display on the southeast corner. Ayes - 5 - Nays — 1 (Scanlan). 6. OTHER BUSINESS A. Ulrich Property Redevelopment Sketch Plan City Planner Tom Lovelace stated no official action is needed. The developer wishes to receive feedback concerning the proposed project. It is recommended that the Planning Commission not state specifically whether or not they would approve or deny the request, but rather, identify the specific zoning questions or issues they might have with the proposed project. He said United Properties has submitted sketch plans for property located at the northeast corner of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31) and McAndrews Road (CSAH 38). They are proposing a four- story/96-unit Applewood Pointe senior cooperative and 12 townhomes. The senior cooperative would be a for sale product with average home sizes of 1,550 sq. ft. He added the developer has not indicated if the townhomes will be marketed to seniors or the general public. The site is adjacent to the Valleywood Golf Course to the north and east, single- family residential to the south, and Lebanon Hills Regional Park/Camp Sacajawea to the west. The 10.93 -acre property is currently guided "MIX" (Mixed Use) and zoned "M -6A" (Multi - Family Residential/6-12 units per acre), which allows for 6-12 units per acre. Approximately 1.93 acres of the site is right-of-way for the two county roads. That leaves approximately nine acres of developable land. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 15, 2019 Page 8 of 8 Current access to the property is via a driveway off Pilot Knob Road. The sketch plan shows future access from both Pilot Knob Road and McAndrews Road. The two roads are under the jurisdiction of Dakota County and the proposed plan has been reviewed by its Plat Commission. He said Dakota County indicates that providing the desired access to the site from the adjacent county roads will be a challenge. The property is currently unplatted. Subdivision of the property will be required to create lots of record for the proposed buildings. This will also require the dedication of 75 feet of right-of-way for both of the county roads. The internal roadway will likely be private. A pond is proposed at the southwest corner of the site. This pond will be used for collecting storm water generated from this property as well as an amenity for the development project. The site plan shows trails and sidewalks adjacent to the ponding area, behind the senior co-op building and along both sides of the internal street. They show these pedestrian elements making connections to future trails along Pilot Knob Road and McAndrews Road. Discussion led to access concerns from McAndrews Road and Pilot Knob Road, as well as, a lot to put on a small area in terms of density. The Commission was open to a 4 -story design. Mark Nelson, United Properties, provided additional information. B. Review of upcoming schedule and other updates. Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist stated that the next regular Planning Commission meeting would take place Wednesday, June 5, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. 7. ADJOURNMENT Hearing no further comments from the Planning Staff or Planning Commission, Chair Melander asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Commissioner Schlinder moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 p.m. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Joan Murphy Joan Murphy, Planning Department Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on Tom Melander, Chair ••• •••• ••••• •••• Apple Valley ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 4.A. June 19, 2019 Public Hearings Description: Apple Valley East Golf Course Comprehensive Plan Amendments - PC19-09-P Staff Contact: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner Department / Division: Community Development Department Applicant: Joel Watrud Project Number: PC19-09-P Applicant Date: 5/22/2019 60 Days: 7/20/2019 120 Days: 9/18/2019 ACTION REQUESTED: Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing. SUMMARY: Mr. Joel Watrud, the owner of the Apple Valley Golf Course located at 8661 140th Street West, is requesting the following amendments to the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map: 1. Re -designate .5 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "LD" (Low Density Residential) 2. Re -designate 14.5 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "MD" (Medium Density Residential) 3. Re -designate 8 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "HD" (High Density Residential) The 23 -acre golf course property is located at the northwest corner of 140th Street West and Garden View Drive. Adjacent uses include single-family residential to the north, single- family, two-family and multi -family residential to the west and south, and multi -family to the east. BACKGROUND: Comprehensive Plan: The property is currently designated "PR" (Private Recreation). The 2030 Plan created this designation of "Private Recreation" to recognize the current use of the subject property as a privately owned public golf course. This is the only property in the city that has this designation. The property has the same designation in the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. It was recognized in 2009 and again in 2018, that the Apple Valley Golf Course may face challenges in the future, primarily financial, similar to the challenges faced by other small golf courses in the Metropolitan Area. It was understood during the preparation of the 2030 and 2040 Plans, that these challenges might cause the property owner to seek a change in land use. Any change in land use must be carefully considered for the ability of the property to support the proposed use, the fit with the surrounding area and the overall plans for Apple Valley. The current Institutional zoning designation best reflects the present use and numerous alternative uses may be allowed in the future. The golf course is surrounded by residential uses that might also be evaluated for comparison as to their density and value if a change is requested. Commercial uses are not encouraged unless those businesses have a residential character and are integrated in a mixed-use urban design. As stated previously, the applicant is requesting Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendments that would re -designate .5 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "LD" (Low Density Residential), 14.5 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "MD" (Medium Density Residential) and 8 acres from "PR" (Private Recreation) to "HD" (High Density Residential). The remaining text in this section are excerpts from the City's draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which will be applicable as this request moves through the review process. The "LD" (Low Density Residential) designation consists of areas in the city with primarily single-family, detached dwellings This is the single largest land use in Apple Valley. A large base of owner -occupied homes promotes neighborhood stability by reducing resident turnover and encouraging homeowner investment in private property. Limiting conflicts with high-intensity uses ensures that property values are protected over time. Protected property values help maintain stable neighborhoods and directly benefit local citizens through contributions to the municipal tax base. Low-density neighborhoods benefit from a variety of services and institutions, including parks, playgrounds, schools, religious institutions, and appropriate -scale commercial. A system of safe and well-designed sidewalks and trails is essential to connect with schools, parks, downtown, and other destinations in the community. A variety of housing types may be built in Low Density Residential areas including single-family detached dwellings, duplexes, twin homes, townhomes, and other types of attached housing at densities of 2-6 units per acre. The "MD" (Medium Density Residential) designation provides for single-family living options which is becoming an increasingly attractive option for aging baby boomers seeking a transition to a living environment that offers independence without the maintenance requirements and a property tax bill associated with conventional single-family detached housing. In addition, Medium Density Residential typically provides housing at a lower price point than low density residential and helps enable the City to meet its share of regional affordable housing requirements. "MD" land uses include townhomes, other attached single- family dwellings, and low-rise apartments and condominiums at densities that range from 6- 12 units per acre. This designation fits with the "M-4", "M-5", "M-6", and "PD" zoning districts. The "HD" (High Density Residential) designation are areas for attached multiple -family structures (apartments and condominiums) at densities greater than 12 units per acre. High Density Residential neighborhoods benefit from proximity to services such as shopping, transit, daycare, recreation, and other similar uses. Retail shopping centers and service providers likewise benefit from a dense local customer base. Providing these uses near to high-density residential leads to mutual efficiencies and lessens dependence on private vehicles. High-density residential developments should be located where services are currently available and convenient or are expected to be in the future. Developments with densities of up to 40 units per acre are allowed in the areas within and adjacent to the downtown if certain performance standards in the zoning code are met. This would not be applicable to with this property The City benefits from high-density development by capitalizing on efficiencies in the provision of infrastructure, services, and attached -building construction, and the increased concentration of taxpayers per unit area. Linking people to jobs and services is critical. High- density developments can be leveraged for economic development purposes and suburban transit -oriented development. As such, they are frequently located on high-volume arterial corridors with access to retail and services. Often, high-density residential is considered as a "rise" buffer between lower -density residential and higher -intensity commercial or industrial uses. This goal is rational in theory, but care should be taken to ensure that undesirable impacts are not inequitably off-loaded onto a greater number of residents. Buffer treatments, including landscaping and building/site orientation, can minimize the impacts of light, noise, and traffic on high-density areas. The strategic location of a row of garages, for example, can shield apartments from the noise and activity of a nearby highway. High Density Residential areas include multiple -family structures (apartments and condominiums) at densities greater than 12 units per acre to the extent allowed by the zoning ordinance. The HD designation fits with "M-7", "M-8", and "PD" zoning districts. High Density Residential requires additional provision of parking, infiltration, and buffering from incompatible uses. Building setback, bulk requirements, lot -coverage requirements, and parking requirements are outlined in the zoning code. Zoning: The property is currently zoned "P" (Institutional). Institutional districts are area designed to serve the public and quasi -public uses. Permitted uses include schools, public libraries and art galleries, parks and playgrounds, recreational facilities or athletic fields, religious facilities, cemeteries, government facilities, non-profit clubs and lodges, public hospitals and acre facilities, and golf courses. Any re -designation of the property will require a change in the current zoning. The majority of the property currently designated "LD" (Low Density Residential) are zoned "R-1", "R-2", "R-3" or "R -CL", which area districts that permit detached single-family dwellings This designation also allows for "R-5" (Two -Family Residential) and "M-1", "M- 2", and "M-3" (Multi -Family Residential), and "PD" (Planned Development) zoning districts. Property designated "MD" (Medium Density Residential) include townhomes, other attached single-family dwellings, and low-rise apartments and condominiums at densities that range from 6-12 units per acre. This designation fits with the "M-4", "M-5", "M-6", and "PD" zoning districts. Finally, "HD" (High Density Residential) designated areas include multiple -family structures (apartments and condominiums) at densities greater than 12 units per acre to the extent allowed by the zoning ordinance. The "M-7", "M-8", and "PD" zoning districts are typically located in the "HD" designated areas. Preliminary Plat: Approximately 14 acres is unplatted with the remaining nine acres platted as outlots. Any development of the property will require the subdivision of the property. Some of the required elements of a subdivision include the dedication of right-of-way, public drainage and utility easements, and park dedication in the form of land and/or cash -in -lieu of land dedication. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Public utilities are available and would be extended into the site to serve any development. Storm water management will be an important issue with any development of the property. Onsite management and discharge will be essential to any future development of the property. A wetland delineation report has been prepared for this site. Three wetlands have been identified and delineated. Any development will be subject to all applicable federal, state, and local wetland regulations. It should be also noted that an 80 -foot wide pipeline easement bisects the property. The location of this utility will impact any development as it is generally understood that uses over a pipeline easement are restrictive and no buildings or landscaping shall be placed within an easement of this type. Street Classifications: The site is abuts Garden View Drive and the east, 140th Street West on the west and Hollins Court on the north. Garden View Drive and the east, 140th Street West are major collectors, which are designed to collect traffic from neighborhoods and employment centers and distribute it to the city arterial system. Hollins Court is a local street, whose primarily use is to serve local transportation needs such as gaining access to the property bordering it. Local streets will likely serve any on-site development. Improvements to the abutting collector roads will be evaluated as part of any development project on this property. Public Hearing Comments: Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing.

Changes to the golf course would have a big impact our property value and backyard aesthetics based on the current property line in our backyard. We are awaiting additional documentation to be released, but we had the following questions: 1. What is the timeline and process with the City planning commission?

We received the notice about the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to re -designate the Golf Course from PR Private Recreation to a combination of Low Density, Medium Density and High Density Residential. We have significant concerns about this proposal, including the following: 1. Our backyard is adjacent to an area that is proposed to change to high density residential. This change would have a significantly negative impact on our property value as well as the aesthetics of our backyard. 2. Given the hillside shared by our property and the golf course, we do not understand how high density housing is possible in this area. Any excavation in that area would have a negative impact on our property. 3. Our preference would be for the zoning to remain the same as it has been for over forty years. But if it has to change, why would anything other than single family homes be considered given that all of the properties bordering the golf course are single family homes? 4. Adding high density housing in this area would have a negative effect on traffic volume. If additional access points are added to 140th St and Gardenview Ave, there would be increased risk of accidents 5. Are the ponds on the golf course considered wetlands and thus subject to environmental review? 6. Our understanding is that outlet D is an area that provides an easement to the golf course, but the property is actually part of our parcel. If the property is sold and no longer a golf course, then that easement would go away, correct? 7. Finally, as we celebrate Apple Valley's 50th anniversary, shouldn't we try to preserve this parcel of open, green space that has been part of our city's history? Perhaps the city could purchase the property and preserve the Private Recreation rating by developing a park or some other green space usage. We will attend the meetings next week in order to learn more about this proposal. Thank you, Carole and Doug Elfstrum A. V.

I am NOT in favor of the proposed use of the land from the Apple Valley Golf Course. Increasing the population in this area with medium and high density residences would negatively impact it's current residents in school population, traffic, and home values. The golf course is beautiful and I enjoy the green space every time I drive through there. Please consider keeping the green space with a park or, at most, with single family homes. Many homeowners would love the chance to build so far north in the South metro. Thank you for your consideration and caring about what the residents in this area care about! 1 Lovelace, Tom From: Murphy, Joan Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2019 8:30 AM To: Lovelace, Tom Subject: FW: Golf course land Original Message From: Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2019 9:50 PM To: Murphy, Joan <JMurphy@ci.apple-valley.mn.us> Subject: Golf course land Hello - I live at 13632 Gotham Court and would like to advocate that you DO NOT approve the proposal to develop the golf course into medium or high density housing areas. When we built our home 10 years ago and chose Apple Valley as our community, we chose the city and the neighborhood because of the quiet, residential area, green spaces, quality schools and lack of congestion. Changing this will do a disservice to our neighborhood and our community. I'm particularly concerned about our local elementary school, as many neighbors already opt to open enroll to other schools because of the more mobile population of the school which has resulted in lower test scores. If additional high density housing becomes available in the neighborhood, this will put an even bigger strain on the school and result in even more open enrollment, which will have a negative effect on the community school. Families like ours will no longer find these neighborhoods appealing if the community schools cannot attract long-term neighborhood residents that provide enrollment stability. Please, please consider the many current residents that chose this city, and this neighborhood, to raise their families and invest in their homes. Do not turn a quiet zone and beautiful green space into a congested area with lower property values.

I'll be unable to attend the June 19 Planning Commission meeting about the rezoning of the golf course on 140th St. It seems that we are becoming more of just an overpopulated fast food suburb. Now we are taking away some affordable family fun and replacing it with more housing and traffic. My concern is that we are building over so much green space to allow more residents and forgetting about leaving any beauty for the current residents. It's disappointing to see the direction that the city is taking. I hope more consideration will be given to current residents and improving or at least maintaining their quality of life before creating more apartment buildings and tax revenue.

I didn't know the Golf Course was for sale, or is the owner selling it to the city or developers? I don't use the golf course often, but do enjoy it. I do notice they get very little play. I attribute this to their high cost for green fees. If this is converted to Apartments, what do you project the impact to the home values will be in the neighborhood? Our real estate taxes are already very high. My wife and I are recent retirees and like living in Minnesota, but are really getting fed up with the taxation and politics of the state. Been in Apple Valley for 37 years.

Please, please, please reconsider! Adding that many homes will not be an asset to Apple Valley. We already have many places where there is medium and high density housing in the area. If the golf course can't be maintained, please use the area for other kinds of recreational activities. We need more prairie restoration, natural playgrounds, gardens, etc in our area. Our city needs more green space and not less especially in a time of global warming. To help in the reversal of global warming, we need more green space with prairies and trees.

SUM MARY: Revised Plans: The public hearing for the Jardin Academy Daycare was held on May 15, 2019. Revised plans were received to address the issues raised at the public hearing, as noted blow: 1. The building and parking lot were shifted north to meet the building setback requirements from the south property line. 2. A parking lot island was added to the middle of the parking lot to help channelize traffic flow through the site. 3. A six foot (6') privacy fence was added along the south line to screen the residential neighborhood to the south from the new development. The petitioners, Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate, and the property owner, Kilber Investments, LLC, request consideration of actions that would allow them to split the 1.86 - acre parcel at 14605 Glazier Ave to create a new lot for a two-story daycare building. The land use actions requested include a subdivision by preliminary plat to split the lot, conditional use permit (CUP) for a daycare facility in the "LB" (Limited Business) zone, and site plan review/building permit authorization to construct a 12,200 sq. ft. daycare facility. The subject parcel at 14605 Glazier Ave, abuts the Glazier Townhomes to the south and Valley South, a single family subdivision, to the east. The existing parcel was initially developed in 1990 with the building and parking lot placed on the north half of the lot to allow for additional development in the future. BACKGROUND: Zoning: The property is currently zoned "LB" (Limited Business) which lists a daycare facility as a conditional use in the zoning district. A conditional use is a use allowed in a zoning district by conditional use permit upon which the City Council may place reasonable conditions to offset possible impacts caused by the use. The petitioners would like to establish an outdoor play area on the west side of the building which will place the building between the play area and the properties to the east and should help to act as a screen. Preliminary Plat: A subdivision by preliminary plat is requested to subdivide the existing 1.86 -acre parcel, legally described at Lot 1, Block 1, BIEWALD FIRST ADDITION, into two lots. The existing office building and parking lot will be located on Lot 1 on the north side of the lot, and the new lot, Lot 2, will be the location of the new daycare site on the south side of the lot. Lot 1 will be 41,437 sq. ft. and the new lot will be 36,800 sq. ft.; both lots will meet the minimum area and lot width required for the LB zoning district. Ten feet (10') of additional right-of-way is dedicated for Cedar Ave. Tree Removal: Four hundred four (404) caliper inches of trees are proposed to be removed from the site for the development. This will require 40.4" of replacement trees. The Natural Resources Coordinator notes that the majority of the trees to be removed are volunteer species such as boxelders, elms, and ash trees. Site Plan: The site plan shows that the Jardin Academy building will be located on the west side of the site with the parking lot to the east. Twenty-five parking spaces are required; 28 parking spaces are shown. The plans show that one access drive would be installed to serve the new daycare site. The front entrance to the building will be on the north side of the building which will be served by a sidewalk that extends from the parking lot, to the building, then extends west to connect to Cedar Ave. An auto -turn drawing will be required to confirm emergency, delivery and service vehicles will be able to circulate within the site. Two outdoor play areas are shown on the west side of the building between the building and Cedar Ave. The play area is proposed to be secured with a prefinished metal "picket" type fence. Grading, Drainage, Utilities: Three on-site storm water infiltration basins are shown on the site to help filter and infiltrate storm water. Water and sanitary sewer services are available to the site from Glazier Ave. City storm sewer is not readily available. The petitioner proposes providing all stormwater drainage on-site. The City Engineer is working with the petitioner's engineer to address the final design requirements. Lighting Plan: A lighting plan was submitted which shows light levels exceeding 0.5 foot candles at the property line abutting residential properties to the east and south. The petitioner states that the fixtures will be adjusted and a revised plan submitted to address the issue.

Existing Vegetation The southern portion of the lot is overgrown with groupings of shrubs and volunteer species trees. The significant trees identified for removal are primarily boxelder, cottonwood, elm and other fast-growing volunteer types of trees. Other Significant Natural Features None identified.

WEST Cedar Ave (Principal Arterial Street) and Valley Olds Comprehensive Plan ROW and "C" (Commercial) Zoning/Land Use ROW and "GB" (General Business) Development Project Review Comprehensive Plan: The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the development of this site for "C" (Commercial) uses. A daycare facility is consistent with the 2040 Comp Plan. The guiding principles found in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan related to infill commercial development include the following: • A public survey conducted early 2017 indicates strong support for investments in and redevelopment of Downtown that promote a unique "sense of place." A sense of place arises from utility, activity, and careful design. (p. 4-9 Land Use) • An important objective of city planning in Apple Valley is to preserve the vitality and cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods. To that end, the City aims to minimize land use conflicts through application of the zoning ordinance and buffering policies. ... Buffering techniques are Apple Valley's primary strategy for smoothing land use transitions. (p. 4-3 Land Use) Zoning: The property is zoned "LB" (Limited Business). A daycare is permitted by conditional use permit in the LB zoning district. Conditional uses allow the City to place reasonable conditions on the development to mitigate any adverse impacts that may occur as a result of the use. Specifically, the petitioners plan to locate the outdoor play area on the west side of the building which will help to screen noise for the properties to the west. Screening of activities for the properties to the south is accomplished through the installation of a 6' tall privacy fence. Preliminary Plat: The subdivision by preliminary plat of Jardin Addition subdivides the existing Lot 1, Block 1 BIEWALD FIRST ADDITION, into two lots. The existing lot is 81,141 sq. ft. (1.86 acres) and would be split so that Lot 1 will be 41,437 sq. ft. (0.95 acres) and will contain the existing building and parking lot, while Lot 2 will be 36,800 sq. ft. (0.84 acres) and will be the location of the new development site. Additional 10' of right-of-way is shown dedicated for Cedar Ave. Drainage and utility easements are shown dedicated in accordance with the subdivision code. Tree Removal: A tree removal plan was submitted which identifies "significant trees" as defined by the City Code. The tree species are primarily boxelder, elm which are typically viewed as "volunteer" trees. A total of 404 caliper inches of trees are proposed to be removed; the developer will be required to replace 10% of the caliper inches removed, or 40.4" of trees. The Tree Removal Plan also indicates that there are significant trees around the exterior edges of the site that will be protected during construction and remain on the site. Site Plan: The Jardin Academy building is proposed to be located on the west side of the site with the front of the building facing north. The total gross floor area of the building in two stories is proposed to be 12,200 sq. ft.; the building footprint is proposed to be 6,100 sq. ft. A single private driveway access is shown to Glazier Ave. The building and parking lot were both shifted north to meet the setback requirements from residential development to the south. Three stormwater basins are shown on the site. The outdoor play area is proposed to be located on the west side of the building, between the building and Cedar Ave. The outdoor play area is proposed to be enclosed with a prefinished picket -style fence. The garbage enclosure area is located on the east side of the building between the building and the parking lot and will be screened with walls that match the exterior finish of the building A 6' tall maintenance -free privacy fence is shown along the southern property line to screen the site from the south from the townhouses to the south. Additional landscaping is needed along the east property line to help screen the residential properties to the east. The Zoning Code establishes parking requirements for most uses based on "usable floor area" which factors out hallways, storage areas and bathrooms. The petitioner took the actual floor plan and mathematically determined the usable floor area. Based on that calculation, 25 parking stalls are required on the site; 28 parking stalls are provided. Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utility Plan: The Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utility Plan was reviewed by the City Engineer and his comments are attached. Water and sewer service are available to the site from Glazier Ave. Utilities that are stubbed into the site from Cedar Ave will need to be abandoned in place as required by the City Engineer. The plans show the construction of three stormwater management basins. The petitioners state that they would like to manage all of the stormwater on-site. The City Engineer is working with the petitioner's engineer on the final design requirements. The site is relatively flat, but approximately one to two feet higher than the property to the south. It is expected that there will be excess material that will need to be hauled from the site during construction. Hauling of excess material will be addressed in connection with the Natural Resources Management Permit (NRMP). Landscape Plan: The City Code requires that the value of the landscape plantings must meet or exceed 2.5% of the value of the cost of the construction of the building based on Means Construction Data. A preliminary budget was submitted, which shows that the petitioner will be upsizing some of the plants to help meet the code requirements. An approved nursery bid list will be required at the time of application of the building permit. Floor Plan: The floor plan shows the layout of the building with four large rooms for infants and toddlers on the first floor, and three large rooms for preschool and pre -kindergarten children, a gym/playroom, kitchen and breakroom on the second floor. Lighting Plan: A lighting plan was provided which shows a point -by -point drawing of expected light levels based on the new proposed light fixtures. The zoning code states that the maximum light levels at the property line adjacent to residential property may not exceed 0.5 footcandles. Revised plans were submitted that reduced the light levels along the south and east property lines, but the plan must be further revised to ensure a sharper light cut-off. The revised plan shows the light levels still exceed the maximum requirement of 0.5 footcandles in a few places along the south and east sides. This issue will be addressed at the time of application of the building permit. Elevation Drawings: The elevations show that the exterior building materials will consist of a mixture of thin brick veneer, Nichiha fiber cement panels, and EIFS. The fence enclosing the outdoor play area will be a 6' high prefinished metal fence in a picket design. The 6' tall privacy fence along the south property line will be a maintenance -free product. The dumpster enclosure will be constructed of materials that match the exterior of the building with both face brick and Nichiha panels. The rooftop mechanical units are shown on the roof screened with a screening wall. The screening wall is quite prominent and staff would like to see an integrated screen design that enhances, rather than detracts, from the appearance of the building. Cross-section drawings will be required at the time of application of the building permit that confirms the screening requirements are met. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: 1. Cedar Ave — Principal arterial roadway. 2. Glazier Ave — Local street Cedar Ave is Dakota County State Aid Highway No. 23 and is six to seven lanes wide in this location with an existing traffic volume of 45,400 Average Daily Trips (ADT) and a projected volume of 56,000 ADT by 2040 (source: 2040 Comp Plan). Glazier Ave is a local street providing access to both residential and commercial properties. One new private driveway access is shown from the site to Glazier Avenue. No additional accesses are proposed. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalk will be installed along Glazier Ave in compliance with Sect. 153.52. A sidewalk connection is shown from the parking lot, to the building, and then out to Cedar Ave. Public Safety Issues: See Fire Marshal's memo. An auto -turn drawing will be required t the time of application of the building permit that confirms that a fire engine will be able to circulate within the site. Recreation Issues: Park dedication will be required as a result of this subdivision. The park dedication will be calculated based on the size of the building and the anticipated use of City parks by employees. Signs: The elevation drawings show a dragonfly image on the tower element on the north side of the building which will be visible from Cedar Ave. The dragonfly would be considered a sign and may require special consideration by the sign code. No sign approvals are given at this time. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation of any signs on the site or the building. Public Hearing Comments: 1. Traffic issues raised: a. Will traffic levels increase with this development? b. What are the peak times for traffic at this daycare? c. How will the new development at Hope Church impact this proposed new development? d. Concerned that this will compound problems already occurring at Cedar Avenue and 145' Street traffic signal during the a.m. peak times. Only one or two cars are able to get through the intersection on a green light. Concerned this will cause back up into the neighborhood. Staff response: See City Engineer's memo concerning traffic analysis and findings 2. Concerned that this development will be a bright orange building Staff response: The elevation drawings and color renderings both help to show how the exterior of the building will look. The exterior of the building will be primarily light colored face brick (60%) and dark gray to black Nichiha panels. The orange treatment is limited to a tall vertical entryway feature on the north side of the building. 3. Will the dumpster be visible from the street? Staff response: The dumpster will be screened with an enclosure with walls that match the design of the exterior of the building as required by § 155.348. In addition, shrubs will be planted on the east side of the stormwater infiltration basin which will help to screen the site and dumpster from Glazier Ave. Lastly, a landscape island is proposed in the center of the parking lot which will provide additional screening. 4. What are the benefits to residential properties? Why do this development here? Staff response: The existing building was placed on the north side of the site with the expectation that there would be a phase two development of this parcel in the future. When the City reviews a land use application, it does not evaluate "benefit" to adjacent properties. Instead, the City must review the land use development application in light of MN State Statutes and the City's Zoning Code and Subdivision Code. If a development is designed to meet the City Code requirement without variances, the City has less ability or discretion to deny a land use application. The property owner has the right to develop his/her property if he/she is able to meet all of the code requirements. The City's role is to ensure all of the code requirements are met and to ensure the site is designed so that it is compatible with surrounding land uses. 5. What will construction hours be? Staff response: The City typically limits exterior construction activities from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays when a site is near residential development. 6. How will this development impact property values? Staff response: Many different factors contribute to the value of a home, so it is not possible to attribute impacts of property value on a single adjacent land use. Property values are impacted by overall City development patterns and not one specific land use. In this case, the Jardin Academy building will be constructed in compliance with the City's exterior design requirements, zoning and subdivision codes and the State Building Code requirements. 145TH ST W HQLVQN3fD 146TH ST W 0 SFS FFA �E UPPER 146TH ST W s r i w .W.14,14.1 r IA Select Date J W W a J CO 0 7300 WEST 147TH STREET I SUITE 504 I APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124-75801(952) 431-4433 May 10, 2019 Project Narrative: Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy The Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy project is a new 2 -story daycare facility proposed for the proposed Lot 2 of the Biewald First Addition, split form the current Lot 1 at 14605 Glazier Avenue in Apple Valley. The proposed daycare will be the 6t' Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy location in the Twin Cities expanding their successful operations to serve Apple Valley families. The company, founded in 2002, operates to "equip young children with Spanish language and critical thinking skills, a global mindset, and teaching children to embrace healthy habits and a sense of caring for the environment." The project site is accessed off Glazier Avenue on its east property line and abuts Cedar Avenue on the west. The submittal includes the proposed lot split and platting of the current 1.87 acre Lot containing a two-story professional office building into two separate lots. Lot 1 will contain the existing office building with Lot 2 being the proposed daycare building. This property is currently zoned Limited Business and will remain under that zoning when split. The daycare building will have a footprint of 6,097 square feet covering 16.1% of Lot 1 which is below the 20% maximum building coverage allowed by ordinance. The remainder of the 37,759 square foot site will include playgrounds for the children on the west side of the building, parking on the east side, and landscaping for the remainder of the lot. The landscape plan indicates the addition of 15 new trees, 107 shrubs, and a large selection of perennials adding interest, screening and shade to the site as well as meet the landscape installation value required by ordinance. Exterior of building includes multiple high quality, no -maintenance materials including brick, glass and prefinished Nichiha fiber -cement panels on the main massing of the two-story facility. The massing is broken up with a variety of heights of the two-tone dark gray panels as well as an interesting blend of window patterns. The building entrance is highlighted with a two-tone orange tower finished in EIFS and a glass atrium topped with a prefinished metal roof. This entrance element is a common motif between the different Jardin location. The orange entry tower color is further tied into the building with sun shade bands over multiple window locations. The civil engineering drawings indicate the grading, paving and drainage approach for the project. The stormwater design collects rainwater from the roof and pavement into below grade stormwater piping. This stormwater is then directed to multiple connected infiltration and water quality ponds. The provided infiltration through the multiple locations results in no stormwater leaving the site for many average rainfall events and only very minor flows for large rain events, a small fraction of the stormwater flow produced on nearby sites. Pavement and curb design are also included in these drawings along with utility connections. Parking is provided on the east side of the site where 28 stalls are indicated including two handicap locations. This parking lot provides 2 stalls more than the minimum ordinance amount of 26 stalls and likewise is a few more stalls than the other Jardin locations. The daycare hours will be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays with parents dropping off and picking up their children typically spread over a two-hour period each morning and evening. Consequently, the vehicle flow does not peak at one time resulting in a comfortable traffic flow during the drop off and pick up times of the day and very little traffic during the mid-day hours. The site traffic flow was also reviewed by our traffic engineer who has provided a report letter supporting the parking lot and curb cut layout as meeting ordinance and traffic engineering standards for design and safety. The facility will include controlled access building entries as is typical for most daycare facilities. Likewise, the playground will be surrounded by a six foot high prefinished metal decorative picket fence with gates only allowing emergency egress from the playgrounds to further enhance the separation of the children from public visitors. In conclusion, the proposed new Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy will provide an attractive addition to the Apple Valley neighborhood as well as providing Apple Valley families with a quality Spanish immersion child care option.

Onsite trade parking should be provided. Permits 2. A Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is required for any project that disturbs more than one acre. Provide a copy of the executed permit prior to construction. 3. A City of Apple Valley Natural Resource Management Permit (NRNP) will be required prior to any land disturbing activity. 4. A Dakota County Right -of -Way permit will be required for work within the Cedar Avenue right-of-way. Provide a copy of the executed permit prior to construction. 5. Provide a copy of the approval letter from the Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) prior to construction. 6. Provide a copy of any other required permits. Site 7. See attached Memo from SRF regarding the review of Traffic Impact Study. 8. Sidewalk along the south side of property should be extended to driveway south of the site. Retaining wall at the ROW may be required. Sidewalk shall be per City of Apple Valley standard detail plate STR-35. 9. A sidewalk extending from the ROW into the site should be considered along the north side of driveway entrance. 10. Driveway Apron shall be per City of Apple Valley standard detail plate STR-5. 11. All patching in the ROW shall be in accordance with City of Apple Valley standard detail plate STR-38. 12. Final site plan shall be reviewed with the construction plans and approved by City Engineer. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control 13. Provide overall site composite Curve Number (CN) on the plans. 14. Show all emergency over flow (EOF) elevations and routing. The finished floor/low opening elevation must be 1' minimum above the EOF elevation. 15. Proposed infiltration basins shall be privately owned and maintained. An infiltration basin Construction and Maintenance Agreement will be required as part of Development Agreement. Annual Cleaning of Sump manhole shall be included in maintenance schedule 16. Sump Manhole detail shall be provided for CB -2. 17. Filter media depth should be provided in a detail for the proposed infiltration basins. Additional details are required for the unnamed basin west of the building. The Minnesota storm water manual recommends a filter media depth of 2.5' and that the filter media depth be increased to 3' if trying to capture dissolved phosphorus. 18. The native seed establishment plan lacks sufficient detail, please provide seeding rates. Times of year when seeding is optimal and weed management tactics need to be specified to be consistent with MN DOT or MnBWSR guidelines. A combination of tall height (12"-18") mowing and spot spraying is required. Plan details on keeping heavy equipment out of the basins is required. Watering may also be required in some instances. 19. Storm water flow to the infiltration basins must be cut off until permanent vegetation is sufficiently established to prevent washout of seed and coverage of the basin bottom. It may take over a year for native vegetation to establish. Plans need to indicate how this will be accomplished and how storm water will safely be routed around the site in the interim. The contractor may need to provide watering while storm water flows are cut off. Establishment time may be accelerated if switching to a plug planting instead of a seeding. 20. Generally Seed mix 33-261 is recommended for infiltration basin bottoms and 35-241 for infiltration side slopes. 35-241 may be less successful establishing in areas that don't drain quickly (> 12 hours to drain). The contractor will be responsible for ensuring all portions of the basin are permanently established with weed free perennial vegetation. 21. The storm water calculations indicate 0.8 in/hour infiltration rate, this rate should be reduced to account for recommended soil media to review impacts to basins. 22. Final grading, drainage, and erosion control plan shall be reviewed with the construction plans and approved by City Engineer. Sanitary Sewer & Water main 23. Any existing sanitary sewer service should be identified on the plans and shown as either removed or abandoned in place. The existing wye shall be capped as part of the removal/abandonment. 24. Sanitary Sewer and Water services shall be marked in accordance with City of Apple Valley standard detail plate STR-37. 25. Review the minimum cover required or include insulation above the service line where crossing the proposed filtration basin. Consider modifying the grading to avoid removing cover over the sanitary service or insulating the sanitary service. 26. Confirm that the proposed sanitary sewer pipe grade meets the requirements specified in the Minnesota Plumbing Code. 27. Sanitary Sewer connection to existing main shall be in accordance with City of Apple Valley standard detail plate SER -1 and SER -1A. 28. Final sanitary sewer design shall be reviewed with the construction plans and approved by City Engineer. 29. Domestic water and fire service shall be split outside the existing 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 City of Apple Valley standard detail plate SER -6. 30. Water main wet tap shall be in accordance with City of Apple Valley standard detail plate WAT-5. 31. Final water main design shall be reviewed with the construction plans and approved by City Engineer. Storm Sewer 32. Final storm sewer design shall be reviewed with the construction plans and approved by City Engineer. Landscape and Natural Resources 33. Existing trees planted along Cedar Avenue and those to the identified on the removals plan shall remain and be protected throughout construction. 34. Tree planting is prohibited in public drainage and utility easements. Drainage and utility easements should be clearly identified on landscape plan. 35. Incorporation of additional native plants into the planting plan in place of cultivars and native cultivars will have additional water quality and pollinator habitat benefits. 36. Additional species to provide year round screening and reduce head light spray from parking lot should be considered along Glazier Avenue. To: From: Brandon Anderson, PE, City Engineer City of Apple Valley Tom Sachi, PE, Associate Matthew Pacyna, PE, Principal Date: June 14, 2019 Subject: Jardin Center Traffic Study; Apple Valley, MN Introduction Memorandum SRF No. 01912482 SRF has completed a traffic study for the proposed Jardin Spanish Immersion daycare facility in the southeast quadrant of the Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection in the City of Apple Valley (see Figure 1: Project Location). Additionally, this study accounts for the proposed adjacent development located approximately 250 feet east of Cedar Avenue along the north side of 145th Street. The main objectives of this study are to review existing operations within the study area, evaluate transportation impacts of the proposed and adjacent developments, and recommend any necessary improvements to accommodate the proposed development. The following information provides the assumptions, analysis, and recommendations offered for consideration. Existing Conditions Existing conditions were reviewed to establish a baseline to identify any future impacts associated with the proposed development. The evaluation of existing conditions includes turning movement counts, field observations, and an intersection capacity analysis. Data Collection Peak period intersection turning movement counts were collected at the Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection the week of May 20, 2019 during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. In addition, observations were completed to identify roadway characteristics (i.e. roadway geometry, posted speed limits, and traffic controls) and driver behavior within the study area. Cedar Avenue, a principal arterial, is primarily a six -lane divided roadway immediately adjacent to the proposed development, while 145th Street, a local roadway, is a two-lane undivided roadway with turn lanes. The posted speed limits along Cedar Avenue and 145th Street are 45 miles per hour (mph) and 30 mph, respectively. The Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection is signalized. Existing geometrics, traffic controls, and volumes are shown in Figure 2.

Jardin Daycare Facility Traffic Study City of Apple Valley, MN 01912842 May 2019 Figure 2 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study Intersection Capacity Analysis An existing intersection capacity analysis was completed for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours to establish a baseline condition to which future traffic operations can be compared. Study intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic (Version 9). Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS), which indicates the quality of traffic flow through an intersection. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle, which correspond to the delay threshold values shown in Table 1. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity, or a breakdown of traffic flow. Overall intersection LOS A through LOS D is generally considered acceptable in the Twin Cities Metro Area. Table 1 Level of Service Criteria for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections LOS Designation Signalized Intersection Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds) Unsignalized Intersection Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds) A <_ 10 <_ 10 B >10-20 >10-15 C > 20 - 35 > 15 - 25 D >35-55 >25-35 E > 55 - 80 > 35 - 50 F > 80 > 50 For side -street stop controlled intersections, special emphasis is given to providing an estimate for the level of service of the side -street approach. Traffic operations at an unsignalized intersection with side -street stop control can be described in two ways. First, consideration is given to the overall intersection level of service. This accounts for the total number of vehicles entering the intersection and the capability of the intersection to support these volumes. Second, it is important to consider the delay on the minor approach. Since the mainline does not have to stop, the majority of delay is attributed to the side -street approaches. It is typical of intersections with higher mainline traffic volumes to experience high levels of delay (i.e. poor levels of service) on the side -street approaches, but an acceptable overall intersection level of service during peak hour conditions. Results of the existing intersection capacity analysis shown in Table 2 indicate that the study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the existing geometric layout and traffic controls. No significant delay or queuing issues were identified. Note the existing westbound right -turn 95th percentile queue is approximately 30 feet with average westbound delays of 20 seconds.

Page 4 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study Year 2021 Build Conditions To determine any impacts associated with the proposed development, year 2021 build conditions were reviewed. The year 2021 build conditions account for historical general area background growth, as well as the proposed and adjacent developments. Background Traffic Growth To account for general background growth in the area, an annual growth rate of one (1) percent was applied to the existing peak hour traffic volumes to develop year 2021 background traffic forecasts. This growth rate is generally consistent with historical trends within the study area and future growth projections for Dakota County. Proposed and Adjacent Development The proposed development, shown in Figure 3, is an approximate 12,000 square foot (SF) Jardin Spanish Immersion daycare facility that can accommodate 138 students. A driveway is proposed along Glazier Avenue located approximately 625 feet south of 145th Street. Additionally, shown in Figure 4, there is a proposed adjacent development located along the curve where 145th Street changes to Glazier Avenue, approximately 250 feet east of Cedar Avenue. This development consists of a 2,400 SF bank, 1,200 SF coffee shop without a drive through, and a 3,600 SF retail space. Trip Generation To account for traffic impacts associated with the proposed and adjacent development, a trip generation estimate for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours, as well as on a weekday daily basis were developed. This trip generation estimate was developed using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Tenth Edition. Results of the trip generation estimate, shown in Table 3, indicate the proposed development is expected to generate approximately 108 a.m. peak hour, 109 weekday p.m. peak hour, and 564 daily trips to/from the site.

When accounting for motorists already traveling along Cedar Avenue or 145th Street that will now divert their trip to the proposed adjacent development (i.e. pass -by trips), the net new system impact to the adjacent roadways is expected to be approximately 33 weekday a.m. peak hour, 52 weekday p.m. peak hour, and 416 weekday daily trips. This estimate does not include any multi -use or modal reductions to account for patrons that live or work within walking distance to provide a conservative assessment. Trips generated by the proposed and adjacent developments were distributed to the study area based on the directional distribution shown in Figure 5, which was developed based on existing travel patterns. The year 2021 build condition traffic forecasts are shown in Figure 6. Intersection Capacity Analysis To determine if the existing roadway network can accommodate year 2021 build conditions, a detailed intersection capacity analysis was completed. Results of the year 2021 build condition intersection capacity analysis shown in Table 4 indicate that all study intersections and proposed access locations are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. Table 4 Year 2021 Build Intersection Capacity Analysis Intersection A.M. Peak Hour LOS (Delay) Cedar Avenue and 145th Street B (16 sec.) 145th Street and Adj. Dev. Access (1) A/A (9 sec.)

During both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, 95th percentile westbound right -turn queues at the Cedar Avenue and 145th Avenue intersection are expected to increase by 20 feet (i.e. approximately one (1) vehicle) to a total of 50 feet, but are still expected to be accommodated within the existing turn lane storage and are not expected to impact operations along 145th Street. The average westbound delays at the Cedar Avenue and 145th Street intersection are expected to increase between seven (7) and nine (9) seconds during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, respectively. 95th percentile internal queues for vehicles exiting both the proposed and adjacent developments are expected to be approximately two (2) vehicles during the peak periods and are not expected to impact internal site circulation. Note that the 95th percentile queues along 145th Street for vehicles entering the adjacent development are expected to be between 20 and 30 feet, or one (1) to two (2) vehicles. This is not expected to significantly impact operations along 145th Street. No mitigation is necessary to accommodate the proposed developments from a roadway capacity perspective.

Jardin Daycare Facility Traffic Study City of Apple Valley, MN 01912842 May 2019 Figure 6 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study Public Roadway Systems Impact The daily traffic expected to be generated by the proposed and adjacent development is expected to be approximately 2,000 daily trips. Of these 2,000 daily trips, it is assumed that approximately 50 percent of them are already traveling along the public roadway system (i.e. pass -by trips). These pass - by trips were assumed to be traveling along Cedar Avenue and 145th Street. Information in Table 5 details how expected daily trips generated by the proposed development are anticipated to be distributed to area roadways. The following items are noted: • There is expected to be a less than one (1) percent increase in traffic along Cedar Avenue north and south of the proposed/adjacent development sites. • There is expected to be an approximately 10 percent increase in traffic along 145th Street/Glazier Avenue west and south of the proposed/adjacent development sites.

Both the average and 85th percentile parking demand rates were reviewed. The parking analysis indicates the following parking demand results: • ITE Average Parking Demand: 33 spaces • ITE 85th Percentile Demand: 47 spaces These parking demand rates would result in a deficit between five (5) and 19 spaces. However, based on previous experience with the Jardin Center, there is typically a portion of staff that utilize ride - share and public transportation. It should be noted that the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station is located immediately adjacent to the development along Cedar Avenue. Page 11 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study This transit usage would be expected to reduce the staff parking demand at the site, which can help alleviate the need for on -street parking. Additionally, based on observations at other Jardin sites within the Twin Cities, parent pick-up/drop-off is expected to be evenly distributed over the course of the peak hour, which may reduce the peak parking demand and reduce the need for on -street parking usage. If on -street parking is necessary, there is expected to be sufficient available on -street parking located along Glazier Avenue. A preliminary review indicates that there are approximately 25 on -street parking spaces located within 300 feet of the proposed site that are not heavily used during Jardin peak times. It is recommended that staff would utilize the on -street parking to allow for parent pick-up/drop-off to occur on site. Note that City Code mandates 25 parking stalls, meaning the proposed supply of 28 stalls provided is sufficient to meet City Code. Site and Access Review A review of the proposed site plan was completed to identify any issues and recommend potential improvements with regard to sight distance, traffic controls, and circulation. Based on field observations, there is adequate sight distance at the proposed Glazier Avenue Access to clearly identify approaching vehicles. Special consideration should be made to limit any sight distance impacts from adjacent trees, future landscaping, and signing. In terms of internal parking lot circulation, arrows could be added to allow for counter -clockwise flow only around the central landscaping island. This would help minimize confusion during busy pick-up/drop-off times. Conclusions and Recommendations The following study conclusions and recommendations are offered for consideration: 1) Study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. 2) The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 108 a.m. peak hour, 109 p.m. peak hour, and 564 daily trips to/from the site. 3) The proposed adjacent development is expected to generate approximately 147 a.m. peak hour, 106 p.m. peak hour, and 1,436 daily trips to/from the site. a. When accounting for motorists already traveling along Cedar Avenue or 145th Street that will now divert their trip to the adjacent development (i.e. pass -by trips), the net new impact to adjacent roadways is expected to be approximately 33 a.m. peak hour, 52 p.m. peak hour, and 416 daily trips. 4) All study intersections and proposed access locations are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours under year 2021 build conditions.

SUMMARY: Revised Plans: The public hearing for the Cider Ridge Marketplace development was held on May 1, 2019. Following that meeting, the petitioner made several changes to the project design to address the concerns that were raised at the meeting. The revisions are listed below: 1. The shared entrance to the property is shifted slightly east and the center landscape island is removed to create a more distinct and direct drive aisle through the site. 2. The size of the subject lot (Lot 2) is increased so that the drive-thru lane is completely on the new lot and building coverage is reduced to 19.9%. 3. The retaining walls are removed and parking lot is shifted north to remove encumbrances that were formerly in the drainage and utility easement. 4. More of the mature coniferous trees along the north property line are preserved. The applicant wishes to subdivide a 35,910 sq. ft. parcel from the 7.2 -acre Hope Church property to construct a 7,130 sq. ft. multi -tenant building along Cedar Avenue. The building would be located on the west side of the Hope Church property at 7477 - 145th Street West. The petitioner is requesting consideration of the following actions: 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment from "INS" (Institutional) to "C" (Commercial). 2. Rezoning from "P" (Institutional) to "PD" (Planned Development). 3. Subdivision by Preliminary Plat to subdivide the existing 7.2 -acre lot to create a 35,910 sq. ft. (0.8 -acre) lot for commercial development. 4. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for bank teller drive-thru operation. 5. Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization for construction of a 7,130 sq. ft. multi -tenant building. Residential properties abut the Hope Church property on the north and east sides of the property. On the south, the property abuts 145th Street W. and south of that is the Dalseth Dental Clinic. The west side of the property is bounded by Cedar Avenue. A large 75' wide pipeline easement bisects the property at an angle and restricts development and redevelopment of the property. BACKGROUND: Comprehensive Plan: An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan designation is needed to develop the subject parcel (Lot 2) for limited business uses. The petitioner seeks to re- designate the newly created parcel from "INS" (Institutional) to "C" (Commercial) uses. When the City reviews a request for a comp plan amendment, it has the most discretion to decide whether a requested plan amendment is consistent with Apple Valley's vision for the City and for the neighborhood area. The Comprehensive Plan guidance for redevelopment and infill development includes supporting development projects that provides a "sense of place," ensuring site design preserves the vitality and cohesiveness of existing nearby residential neighborhoods and considering uses that provide a transition between residential neighborhoods and the retail commercial Downtown of the City. Rezoning: The petitioner requests a rezoning of the newly created lot (Lot 2) from "P" (Institutional) to "PD" (Planned Development). A PD zoning is requested to provide a mix of limited business (office) and neighborhood retail uses. A PD is also requested to provide relief (or a waiver) from some of the setback and coverage requirements of a typical zoning designation. City staff is concerned that retail activity may be too intense for the neighborhood and would prefer to structure the PD to have a limited business underlying zoning designation with neighborhood service uses, but no retail. A draft PD ordinance is attached that lists the uses supported by staff for the Planning Commission's consideration. Subdivision by Preliminary Plat: The subdivision by preliminary plat is needed to subdivide a new lot from the existing church parcel. Drainage and utility easements are required around the newly created lot in accordance with the Subdivision Code. An easement that was obtained by the County for additional street right-of-way for 145th Street should be shown on all of the plans as the southern property boundary so that setbacks can be measured from the ROW line. A 26' drainage and utility easement is shown dedicated along 145th Street for existing water and sanitary sewer lines. Structures that were earlier identified as encroachments into the easement have been removed under the revised plan. CUP: A conditional use permit is requested for the bank drive-thru lane on the north side of the building. With the redrawn property line, the drive-thru lane is now contained within the lot that it is serving. Additional landscaping is needed along the west and north sides of the drive-thru lane to screen headlights from Cedar Ave and the residential neighborhood to the north. The drive-thru lane was also shifted outside of the drainage and utility easement. Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization: The plans show that the new lot will share the use of the existing church driveway off of 145th Street West. The plans were revised so that the drive access now has a clear drive aisle into the site which should help circulation within the lot. The building will be placed parallel with Cedar Avenue with the front entrances facing east and the back of the building facing west. The plans show attention to the design of the exterior of the building so that all sides appear to have the same treatments and consideration as the front of the building. Moving the parking lot out of the easements and reconfiguring the lot to create the drive aisle has resulted in Lot 2 being six parking spaces short of the requirement. However, parking requirements are met when the two sites are calculated together. Cross -access and cross - parking easements will be executed between the two lots. In addition, the petitioner is showing six proof -of -parking spaces available on the site. The dumpster that was previously shown along the north property line has been relocated to the middle of the drive-thru lane, which will help to provide visual screening and noise attenuation for the properties to the north. Engineering: The City Engineer reviewed the plans and his comments are attached in the City Engineer's memo. He notes that the revised plans show that an in -ground system will be used for stormwater management. The City Engineer also reviewed traffic generation on the site and within the neighborhood area.

A comprehensive plan amendment would be required in order to redevelop the site for professional office or other limited business uses. When the City considers a comprehensive plan amendment, it has the most discretion to decide whether a proposed change to the Plan is consistent with the City's vision for Apple Valley as a whole and for the specific neighborhood area. 1 Guiding principles found in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan include: • A survey conducted in 2017 indicates that residents strongly support investments in and redevelopment of the Downtown to create a unique "sense of place." A sense of place arises from utility, activity, and careful design. (p. 4-9 Land Use) • The Apple Valley comprehensive plan prioritizes the preservation of the vitality and cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods. To that end, the City aims to minimize land use conflicts through application of the zoning ordinance and buffering policies. [... ] Buffering techniques are Apple Valley's primary strategy for smoothing land use transitions. (p. 4-3 Land Use) • The limited business designation is reserved for general offices and businesses that exclude retail activities. Business operations usually occur within an enclosed building and are generally limited to weekdays. These uses are located adjacent to the retail core of the downtown and may act as a transition to residential neighborhoods. The LB, LB -1, and PD zoning districts are applicable with this commercial category. (pp. 4-21 and 4-22 Land Use) The site's high visibility, location at a signalized intersection, and traffic levels on Cedar Ave make it very appealing for retail development. However, the City will need to evaluate the requested infill development in light of potential impacts on nearby residential properties. Typical commercial retail businesses, like convenience stores with gas, coffee shops with drive-thru and full-service restaurants can be high traffic generators and are likely to have service hours in the evenings and on weekends that may impact the adjacent residential neighborhoods and conflict with church activities. Appropriate uses will need to be evaluated in light of the nearby residential neighborhoods and potential impacts to the signalized intersection at Cedar Ave and 145th Street W. Zoning: The property must be rezoned in order to redevelop the site as shown on the plans. The petitioner requests a rezoning of the new parcel, Lot 2, to "PD" (Planned Development) to allow more flexibility in some of the zoning performance standards such as setbacks and permitted uses. Redevelopment projects usually require a degree of flexibility. However, if a property owner requests a rezoning to PD when the lot is smaller than 5 acres, he or she must discuss (1) how the proposed PD project better meets the City's comprehensive plan goals and policies than standard zoning and (2) how a planned development zoning on this site would be in the public interest. The petitioner presents the following as public benefits of the proposed PD zoning designation: • Economic development and tax base generated from a currently non-taxable parcel; • Temporary construction jobs and permanent job creation; • New entrepreneurial venues for small and start-up businesses; • Reduction of under-utilized parking fields and views from Cedar Avenue of such fields; • Public art installation; and • Reduction of vehicle trips by bringing necessary goods and services within walking distance of the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant provided a list of proposed uses to incorporate into a planned development zone for the City's review and consideration. The applicant seeks to create a planned development zoning district that combines some of the uses found in the "LB" (Limited Business) and "NCC" (Neighborhood Convenience Center) zoning districts. Staff is comfortable with most of the professional office uses proposed, but is concerned that any retail would have higher activity levels that could negatively impact adjacent residential uses. Below is a list of the uses supported by staff and the petitioner: o Permitted Uses: a. Professional and general offices b. Banks, savings and loan, credit unions and other financial institutions c. Clinics for human care limited to a maximum of 4,000 square feet each d. Class III restaurant not to exceed 2,500 square feet. No drive-thru permitted 2 e. On -sale wine and/or 3.2% liquor in conjunction with a Class III restaurant facility f. The following neighborhood service uses as limited to the following uses, unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Council: art and school supplies in connection with an art studio, lab or maker space; bakeries; barbershops and hair salons; custom dressmaking and tailoring; dry cleaning "Drop and Go" (no drive thru or on-site treatment permitted); florists (no exterior display, storage or cultivation); interior decorating studio (no on-site retail furniture sales); jewelry and watch repair; locksmith shops; music and musical instrument instruction; photography studio; pottery studio; shoe repair; toys/candy made on site; and electronic device repair and service for computers, cell phones, tablets, gaming consoles, drones and similar devices limited to 2,500 sq. ft. g. Retail operations selling personal services or goods over the counter as limited to the following uses unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Council: antiques, art and school supplies, bakeries, barbershop, beauty parlor, bicycles, books and stationery, candy, cameras and photographic supplies, catering establishments, china and glassware, clothes pressing, custom dressmaking, drugs, dry goods, florists, garden supplies, gifts, hardware, hats, hobby shops, household appliance repair, interior decorating studio (no retail furniture sales), jewelry and watch repair, laundry and dry cleaning, locksmith shops, musical instruments, paint and wallpaper, phonograph records and equipment, photography studio, shoes, sporting goods, tailoring, tanning salon, tobacco, toys, variety stores, video tape and equipment sales or rental, and wearing apparel o Conditional Uses a. Funeral homes and mortuaries b. Licensed daycare facilities c. On -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility d. Animal hospital or clinic when contained within a building e. Drive-thru window service for bank or similar financial institution f. Health or fitness facility, day spa or yoga studio provided all activities are conducted inside the building. No outdoor cross -training or similar outdoor classes or training allowed on the premises. • PD Zoning Standards — Requested Waivers — The petitioner requests a rezoning of the property to "PD" (Planned Development) to allow relief for some of the setback and coverage standards that would be required with a straight "LB" (Limited Business) zoning designation. The following are the requested revised standards: Development Standard LB Zoning Requirement Requested PD Standard Building Setback from Cedar Ave 50' 25' Building Setback from 145th St. W. 30' 14' Parking Setback from Cedar Ave 20' 10' Parking Setback 145th St. W. 20' 0' Building Coverage 20% 23% • Conditional Use Permit - A drive-thru lane is proposed on the north side of the building circulating in a clockwise direction. Vehicles at the window will face west towards Cedar Avenue. Landscaping has been 3 added to help shield headlights from Cedar Ave and the neighborhood to the north. The PD zoning district would require a conditional use permit (CUP) for drive-thru teller service. The petitioner requests a CUP for the bank drive-thru teller shown on the plans. The conditional use permit would allow the City to establish reasonable conditions on the drive-thru use to help mitigate any adverse impacts. Preliminary Plat: A subdivision by preliminary plat is requested to subdivide a 35,910 sq. ft. lot from the 7.2 -acre Hope Church property for the new office/commercial building. The lot was increased in size so that the building coverage requirements are met on the lot. Drainage and utility easements are required for the newly created Lot 2. Because setbacks are taken from right-of-way lines, it will be important for the plant set drawings to all show the new right-of-way line as the southern boundary of the parcel. Site Plan: A revised site plan was submitted which addresses comments and issues raised at the public hearing. The revised plans show construction of a 7,130 sq. ft. multiple tenant office/commercial building on Lot 2; Lot 2 has been increased in size to 35,910 sq. ft. to address building coverage and to fully contain the drive-thru lane. Building coverage on Lot 2 is reduced from 23% to 19.9%, to comply with the maximum building coverage permitted in the "LB" and "LB -1 (Limited Business) zones. The plans also show that the retaining walls have been removed and the parking lot shifted north to remove all of the structures out of the drainage and utility easement. The revised plans show that the shared access drive is shifted slightly east to provide a more distinct drive aisle through the site. The center median that was forcing a decision to turn right or left upon entering the site is now removed. The site now contains a drive lane that circulates around the site in a clearly defined and easy to understand manner. At 7,130 sq. ft., the building is be required to have a minimum of 40 parking spaces; 34 parking spaces are provided on the newly created lot with 6 proof -of -parking spaces shown. The petitioner states that there will be cross -parking and cross -access easements executed between the church and office properties so that parking can be shared. Taking into account that the church seats 195 in its main sanctuary, a total of 105 spaces are required for both the church and the Cider Ridge building; 103 spaces are shown for the two sites. With the six additional proof -of - parking spaces available, the site meets the parking requirements. A six foot fence is shown constructed along the north property line. The screening fence shall be constructed of maintenance -free materials and provide complete privacy. The revised plan shows that more of the mature large coniferous trees on the north side of the site will be maintained to help screen the new building from the neighborhood to the north. The revised plans show that storm water will be managed with an underground system that crosses both property lines. The stormwater management plan, grading plan and utility plan are all subject to final review and approval by the City Engineer. Grading Plan: Reviewed by the City Engineer. See his comments in the attached City Engineer Memo. The area where the site is proposed to be graded is flat. Tree protection fencing must be installed and approved prior to issuance of the natural resources management permit (NRMP) and any land disturbing activities on the site. Elevation Drawings: The single -story multiple tenant building is proposed to be 20' tall to the top of the parapet. The exterior building materials include cementitious panels and stone veneer. The zoning code requires that all of the building elevations must be similarly designed to be as attractive as the front of the building ("four-sided architecture"). The petitioner has designed the rear of the building to mimic the front of the building on the east side. The petitioner should confirm whether all of the "back of building" utilities, including electric panels and meters, will be located within the mechanical room. A parapet is shown to be 2.5' tall to screen anticipated rooftop mechanical units. The parapet is required to be the same height as the mechanical units and able to fully screen them. Staff is concerned that most HVAC units, after accounting for being located on a curb, are typically 5' to 6' high which will not be screened by a 2.5' parapet. Cross - 4 section drawings will be required at the time of application of the building permit to confirm that the height of the screening structure will screen the mechanical units as required. Landscape Plan: The zoning code requires that the landscape plan must be designed so that the value of the landscape plantings meet or exceed 2.5% of the value of the construction of the building based on Means Construction Data. A boulevard tree proposed to be removed from Cedar Avenue will be required to be replaced in the Cedar Avenue boulevard. Lighting Plan: Because this development is adjacent to a residential neighborhood, a lighting plan will be required that shows the light levels throughout the site. Any pole lighting should not exceed 20' in height and should have strong cut-off characteristics to reduce impacts to the abutting neighborhood. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Utilities are available to the site from 145t' Street West. See City Engineer Memo. The revised plans show that two retaining walls and a portion of the parking lot was removed from the drainage and utility easement as directed by the City Engineer. He states that the building foundation will serve as a retaining wall. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: • Cedar Ave (CSAH 23) — Principal arterial • 145th Street West — Local Street • Glazier Ave — Local Street The revised plans shift the shared access to the east to provide a more direct drive lane through the site. Cross -parking, cross -access and cross -maintenance agreements will be required. Auto -turn drawings are needed to confirm circulation of delivery trucks, fire trucks and garbage trucks within the site. Pedestrian Access: One sidewalk connection is provided to Cedar Avenue from the building on the northwest corner of the site. A second access is needed from the south side of the site to the building. Bike racks are also needed to accommodate bicycle parking on Lot 2. Public Safety Issues: The Fire Marshal will require that the building is sprinkled in accordance with the State Fire Code. The Fire Marshal is concerned that a tenant in the southern suite who exits on the west side of the building will be forced to traverse over 100' to reach sidewalk along the north side of the building. He will require either the installation of sidewalk along the south side of the building from the west parking lot to the east parking lot, or the sidewalk on the west side of the building will be required to connect to one of the public trails for safe egress from the building. See the Fire Marshal's memo attached for additional comments. Recreation Issues: Park dedication will be required as a result of the subdivision. Park dedication will be calculated based on the size of the building and the number of employees that would be likely to use a City park. 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 following questions and comments were received at the May 1, 2019, Public Hearing. 1. The drive access entering the site is not intuitive. The parking lot should be redesigned to provide a clear travel lane through the site. Staff response: The petitioner revised the site plan to create a clearer travel way into and around the parking lot shared by the church and the new building. The existing landscape island near the site entrance is removed so that a clearly defined lane is provided into the site. Previously vehicles were forced to make a decision to turn either right or left which could have resulted in delays and backups out onto 145th Street. 5 2. Is there a right -turn lane on northbound Cedar Ave? Is there a concern that traffic backing up at the site driveway may back up traffic to Cedar Ave? City Engineer response: Yes, there is a dedicated right -turn lane on northbound Cedar Avenue from 145t' Street [and northbound from Cedar to eastbound 145t' Street W.]. During both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, 95th percentile westbound right -turn queues at the Cedar Avenue and 145th Avenue intersection are still expected to be accommodated within the existing turn lane storage and are not expected to impact operations along 145th Street. The proposed driveway access is being relocated further away from Cedar Avenue and existing turn lane storage per the site plan. See the City Engineer's traffic review memo for a more in-depth discussion. 3. What days during week would the building be open? What will the hours be? Staff response: The business hours of operation may reasonably restricted as part of the PD zoning district. Staff proposes to restrict the use of the site from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with drive-thru hours limited from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For reference, the Neighborhood Convenience Center zoning district allows businesses to be open from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. 4. Concerned that the development will create increased noise levels. Residents report that they can hear the new traffic signals on Cedar Avenue and the audible countdown timers. One resident noted that she can hear noise from people using the Wells Fargo drive -up teller at all hours of the night. When drivers roll down their windows or open their car doors, the resident can hear music blaring out of the vehicles. Staff response: The auditory commands on the Cedar Ave signals are provided for seeing -impaired individuals. Restricting the hours of operation of the businesses should help to contain the noise and activity on the site to reasonable hours when Cedar Avenue is busy and will help to mask any sound. 5. There are several banks in the area, does the City need another bank? Staff response: The City establishes zoning categories based on the land use characteristics of the use. In other words, the categories of land uses are grouped together based on the size of the building, hours of operation, number of customers, length of customer stay, number of large truck deliveries in and out of the site, etc. A bank functions similar to other office buildings with the exception of the drive-thru lane and office buildings are found to be compatible with nearby residential uses. The City focuses on the land use characteristics and leaves it to the property owner and market to determine which specific users will locate in a building. 6. What banks are being considered? How can traffic be calculated if you don't know which specific bank? Some banks generate heavier traffic volumes than others. Are we sure traffic volumes will really be that low? Staff response: The main reference manual used to estimate the number of vehicle trips that are expected to be generated from a new development is Trip Generation compiled by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, often referred to as the "ITE Manual." City Engineer Response: The ITE trip generation rate is based on data collected for dozens of banks. The average rate of this collected data is used to calculate the peak hour and daily trips. Note that this trip generation is completed for a typical weekday peak hour and daily rate. There may be times when bank traffic is higher (i.e. potentially Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings/afternoons), however, the analysis is completed during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours when side -street traffic is peaking. 7. Concerned that the City allows developers to cram large buildings onto small lots. Resident does not care for the multi -story zero -setback buildings that have been recently constructed in the City. Staff response: Comment noted. The proposed development is not a multiple -story building and has reduced setbacks, but not zero setbacks. The petitioner expanded the size of the lot and made the lot larger to meet the building coverage requirements. 8. Could the Church sell their excess property up on the hill? There are more residential properties surrounding that area. Would the City approve more commercial development there? Staff response: The Planning Commission is tasked with reviewing the application that is before them. The property area mentioned is guided "INS" (Institutional) in the Comprehensive Plan. No proposals have 6 been brought forward to develop the property area in question. Any development proposal would need to be considered on its own merits. 9. Whose trees are along the north property line that are proposed to be removed? Staff response: Staff asked the petitioner to stake the property line to help clarify which plantings belonged to which property. The trees to be removed are completely on the church property. In addition, the petitioner proposes to save more of the mature spruce trees on the north side of the site to help buffer the site from the neighborhood to the north. Staff has been informed that the trees mentioned at the public hearing were actually located on the townhouse property and that the neighborhood and the church were able to clarify the matter. 10. What will happen to property values? Staff response: Many different factors contribute to the value of a home, so it is not possible to attribute impacts of property value on a single adjacent land use. Property values are impacted by overall City development patterns and not one specific land use. In this case, the Cider Ridge building will be constructed in compliance with the City's exterior design requirements, zoning and subdivision codes and the State Building Code requirements. The PD zone is established with criteria intended to make sure the development does not negatively impact the neighborhood. 7 s D Existing LD onedi impPPER UTHRIE III w w U 0 Z Z w a ilwiiiiiiillll viii Illllllllllllllllllllli1�,,,.. 1 -.

This building, named Cider Ridge Marketplace, will bring needed goods and services in better proximity to the residents of Apple Valley. The design of the building is planned to be high-end with varying finishes including stone, metal, EIFS, a feature corner with angled glass, and incorporated public art with an "A-V" structural component. Care has been taken to design a building that has 4 -sided architecture as the rear of the building will face Cedar Avenue which will also serve the purpose of screening the existing parking lot from the public right-of-way. Sidewalk connections are provided to the property from both 145th Street West and Cedar Avenue. The existing parking field will be reconfigured to accommodate the new building. A total of 109 parking spaces will remain which is approximately the same as exist today. Both buildings will meet parking code independently (7,200 SF x 85% x 6.66 = 40.79 required stalls for the new building and 195 pews / 3 pews per stall = 65 stalls required for the church) with the added benefit of the ability to share the stalls between the two parcels as peak demands will vary for the two buildings. Potential uses include medical/dental, veterinary clinic (fully contained within the building), daycare center, bank with a drive -up teller window, general office, Class III restaurant, and limited (up to 3,000 square feet) of neighborhood retail businesses. To have an economically viable project a variety of complimentary uses are necessary to ensure a good tenant mix of the building. A mix of uses is something that is preferred as medical users enjoy retail as an amenity and retail uses desire the traffic generated by medical users. A full listing of proposed uses is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The goal is a tenant mix that creates a perfect symbiotic relationship to ensure the long-term viability of the project. To facilitate the tenant mix that will make this project successful and to restrict future uses which could adversely impact the medical and office uses, we are requesting a rezone to Planned Development. Public benefits of the Planned Development include: • Economic development and tax base generate from a currently non-taxable parcel; • Temporary construction jobs and permanent job creation; • New entrepreneurial venues for small and start-up businesses; • Reduction of under-utilized parking fields and views from Cedar Avenue of such fields; • Public art installation; and • Reduction of vehicle trips by bringing necessary goods and services within walking distance of the surrounding neighborhood. We look forward to talking more about bringing this project to life. Exhibit A Permitted Uses: No structure or land shall be used, except for one or more of the following uses or uses deemed similar by the City Council: (A) Professional and general offices; (B) Banks, savings and loan, credit unions and other financial institutions; (C) Clinics for human care limited to a maximum of 4,000 square feet each; (D) On -sale wine and/or 3.2% liquor in conjunction with a Class III restaurant facility; (E) License daycare facilities; (F) Retail operations selling personal services or goods over the counter as limited to the following uses unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Council: antiques, art and school supplies, bakeries, barbershop, beauty parlor, bicycles, books and stationery, candy, cameras and photographic supplies, catering establishments, china and glassware, clothes pressing, custom dressmaking, drugs, dry goods, florists, garden supplies, gifts, hardware, hats, hobby shops, household appliance repair, interior decorating studio (no retail furniture sales), jewelry and watch repair, laundry and dry cleaning, locksmith shops, musical instruments, paint and wallpaper, phonograph records and equipment, photography studio, shoes, sporting goods, tailoring, tanning salon, tobacco, toys, variety stores, video tape and equipment sales or rental, and wearing apparel; or (G) Class III restaurant not to exceed 2,500 square feet. Conditional Uses: No structure or land shall be used for the following uses or uses deemed similar by the City Council, except by conditional use permit: (A) Funeral homes and mortuaries; (B) Radio and television studios; (C) On -sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant facility; (D) Animal hospital or clinic when contained within a building; or (E) Drive-thru window service for bank or similar financial institution. 15.

To: From: Brandon Anderson, PE, City Engineer City of Apple Valley Tom Sachi, PE, Associate Matthew Pacyna, PE, Principal Date: June 14, 2019 Subject: Jardin Center Traffic Study; Apple Valley, MN Introduction Memorandum SRF No. 01912482 SRF has completed a traffic study for the proposed Jardin Spanish Immersion daycare facility in the southeast quadrant of the Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection in the City of Apple Valley (see Figure 1: Project Location). Additionally, this study accounts for the proposed adjacent development located approximately 250 feet east of Cedar Avenue along the north side of 145th Street. The main objectives of this study are to review existing operations within the study area, evaluate transportation impacts of the proposed and adjacent developments, and recommend any necessary improvements to accommodate the proposed development. The following information provides the assumptions, analysis, and recommendations offered for consideration. Existing Conditions Existing conditions were reviewed to establish a baseline to identify any future impacts associated with the proposed development. The evaluation of existing conditions includes turning movement counts, field observations, and an intersection capacity analysis. Data Collection Peak period intersection turning movement counts were collected at the Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection the week of May 20, 2019 during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. In addition, observations were completed to identify roadway characteristics (i.e. roadway geometry, posted speed limits, and traffic controls) and driver behavior within the study area. Cedar Avenue, a principal arterial, is primarily a six -lane divided roadway immediately adjacent to the proposed development, while 145th Street, a local roadway, is a two-lane undivided roadway with turn lanes. The posted speed limits along Cedar Avenue and 145th Street are 45 miles per hour (mph) and 30 mph, respectively. The Cedar Avenue/145th Street intersection is signalized. Existing geometrics, traffic controls, and volumes are shown in Figure 2.

Jardin Daycare Facility Traffic Study City of Apple Valley, MN 01912842 May 2019 Figure 2 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study Intersection Capacity Analysis An existing intersection capacity analysis was completed for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours to establish a baseline condition to which future traffic operations can be compared. Study intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic (Version 9). Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS), which indicates the quality of traffic flow through an intersection. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle, which correspond to the delay threshold values shown in Table 1. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity, or a breakdown of traffic flow. Overall intersection LOS A through LOS D is generally considered acceptable in the Twin Cities Metro Area. Table 1 Level of Service Criteria for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections LOS Designation Signalized Intersection Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds) Unsignalized Intersection Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds) A <_ 10 <_ 10 B >10-20 >10-15 C > 20 - 35 > 15 - 25 D >35-55 >25-35 E > 55 - 80 > 35 - 50 F > 80 > 50 For side -street stop controlled intersections, special emphasis is given to providing an estimate for the level of service of the side -street approach. Traffic operations at an unsignalized intersection with side -street stop control can be described in two ways. First, consideration is given to the overall intersection level of service. This accounts for the total number of vehicles entering the intersection and the capability of the intersection to support these volumes. Second, it is important to consider the delay on the minor approach. Since the mainline does not have to stop, the majority of delay is attributed to the side -street approaches. It is typical of intersections with higher mainline traffic volumes to experience high levels of delay (i.e. poor levels of service) on the side -street approaches, but an acceptable overall intersection level of service during peak hour conditions. Results of the existing intersection capacity analysis shown in Table 2 indicate that the study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the existing geometric layout and traffic controls. No significant delay or queuing issues were identified. Note the existing westbound right -turn 95th percentile queue is approximately 30 feet with average westbound delays of 20 seconds. Table 2 Existing Intersection Capacity Analysis Intersection A.M. Peak Hour P.M. Peak Hour LOS (Delay) LOS (Delay) B (16 sec.) Cedar Avenue and 145th Street B (13 sec.) Page 4 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study Year 2021 Build Conditions To determine any impacts associated with the proposed development, year 2021 build conditions were reviewed. The year 2021 build conditions account for historical general area background growth, as well as the proposed and adjacent developments. Background Traffic Growth To account for general background growth in the area, an annual growth rate of one (1) percent was applied to the existing peak hour traffic volumes to develop year 2021 background traffic forecasts. This growth rate is generally consistent with historical trends within the study area and future growth projections for Dakota County. Proposed and Adjacent Development The proposed development, shown in Figure 3, is an approximate 12,000 square foot (SF) Jardin Spanish Immersion daycare facility that can accommodate 138 students. A driveway is proposed along Glazier Avenue located approximately 625 feet south of 145th Street. Additionally, shown in Figure 4, there is a proposed adjacent development located along the curve where 145th Street changes to Glazier Avenue, approximately 250 feet east of Cedar Avenue. This development consists of a 2,400 SF bank, 1,200 SF coffee shop without a drive through, and a 3,600 SF retail space. Trip Generation To account for traffic impacts associated with the proposed and adjacent development, a trip generation estimate for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours, as well as on a weekday daily basis were developed. This trip generation estimate was developed using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Tenth Edition. Results of the trip generation estimate, shown in Table 3, indicate the proposed development is expected to generate approximately 108 a.m. peak hour, 109 weekday p.m. peak hour, and 564 daily trips to/from the site.

When accounting for motorists already traveling along Cedar Avenue or 145th Street that will now divert their trip to the proposed adjacent development (i.e. pass -by trips), the net new system impact to the adjacent roadways is expected to be approximately 33 weekday a.m. peak hour, 52 weekday p.m. peak hour, and 416 weekday daily trips. This estimate does not include any multi -use or modal reductions to account for patrons that live or work within walking distance to provide a conservative assessment. Trips generated by the proposed and adjacent developments were distributed to the study area based on the directional distribution shown in Figure 5, which was developed based on existing travel patterns. The year 2021 build condition traffic forecasts are shown in Figure 6. Intersection Capacity Analysis To determine if the existing roadway network can accommodate year 2021 build conditions, a detailed intersection capacity analysis was completed. Results of the year 2021 build condition intersection capacity analysis shown in Table 4 indicate that all study intersections and proposed access locations are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. Table 4 Year 2021 Build Intersection Capacity Analysis Intersection A.M. Peak Hour LOS (Delay) Cedar Avenue and 145th Street B (16 sec.) 145th Street and Adj. Dev. Access (1) A/A (9 sec.)

(1) Indicates an unsignalized intersection, where the overall LOS is shown followed by the worst side -street approach LOS. The delay shown represents the worst side -street approach delay. During both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, 95th percentile westbound right -turn queues at the Cedar Avenue and 145th Avenue intersection are expected to increase by 20 feet (i.e. approximately one (1) vehicle) to a total of 50 feet, but are still expected to be accommodated within the existing turn lane storage and are not expected to impact operations along 145th Street. The average westbound delays at the Cedar Avenue and 145th Street intersection are expected to increase between seven (7) and nine (9) seconds during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, respectively. 95th percentile internal queues for vehicles exiting both the proposed and adjacent developments are expected to be approximately two (2) vehicles during the peak periods and are not expected to impact internal site circulation. Note that the 95th percentile queues along 145th Street for vehicles entering the adjacent development are expected to be between 20 and 30 feet, or one (1) to two (2) vehicles. This is not expected to significantly impact operations along 145th Street. No mitigation is necessary to accommodate the proposed developments from a roadway capacity perspective.

Of these 2,000 daily trips, it is assumed that approximately 50 percent of them are already traveling along the public roadway system (i.e. pass -by trips). These pass - by trips were assumed to be traveling along Cedar Avenue and 145th Street. Information in Table 5 details how expected daily trips generated by the proposed development are anticipated to be distributed to area roadways. The following items are noted: • There is expected to be a less than one (1) percent increase in traffic along Cedar Avenue north and south of the proposed/adjacent development sites. • There is expected to be an approximately 10 percent increase in traffic along 145th Street/Glazier Avenue west and south of the proposed/adjacent development sites.

Both the average and 85th percentile parking demand rates were reviewed. The parking analysis indicates the following parking demand results: • ITE Average Parking Demand: 33 spaces • ITE 85th Percentile Demand: 47 spaces These parking demand rates would result in a deficit between five (5) and 19 spaces. However, based on previous experience with the Jardin Center, there is typically a portion of staff that utilize ride - share and public transportation. It should be noted that the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station is located immediately adjacent to the development along Cedar Avenue. Page 11 Brandon Anderson, PE, City of Apple Valley June 14, 2019 Jardin Center Traffic Study This transit usage would be expected to reduce the staff parking demand at the site, which can help alleviate the need for on -street parking. Additionally, based on observations at other Jardin sites within the Twin Cities, parent pick-up/drop-off is expected to be evenly distributed over the course of the peak hour, which may reduce the peak parking demand and reduce the need for on -street parking usage. If on -street parking is necessary, there is expected to be sufficient available on -street parking located along Glazier Avenue. A preliminary review indicates that there are approximately 25 on -street parking spaces located within 300 feet of the proposed site that are not heavily used during Jardin peak times. It is recommended that staff would utilize the on -street parking to allow for parent pick-up/drop-off to occur on site. Note that City Code mandates 25 parking stalls, meaning the proposed supply of 28 stalls provided is sufficient to meet City Code. Site and Access Review A review of the proposed site plan was completed to identify any issues and recommend potential improvements with regard to sight distance, traffic controls, and circulation. Based on field observations, there is adequate sight distance at the proposed Glazier Avenue Access to clearly identify approaching vehicles. Special consideration should be made to limit any sight distance impacts from adjacent trees, future landscaping, and signing. In terms of internal parking lot circulation, arrows could be added to allow for counter -clockwise flow only around the central landscaping island. This would help minimize confusion during busy pick-up/drop-off times. Conclusions and Recommendations The following study conclusions and recommendations are offered for consideration: 1) Study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. 2) The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 108 a.m. peak hour, 109 p.m. peak hour, and 564 daily trips to/from the site. 3) The proposed adjacent development is expected to generate approximately 147 a.m. peak hour, 106 p.m. peak hour, and 1,436 daily trips to/from the site. a. When accounting for motorists already traveling along Cedar Avenue or 145th Street that will now divert their trip to the adjacent development (i.e. pass -by trips), the net new impact to adjacent roadways is expected to be approximately 33 a.m. peak hour, 52 p.m. peak hour, and 416 daily trips. 4) All study intersections and proposed access locations are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours under year 2021 build conditions.

Brian Kilmartin Apple Valley Fire Marshal bkilmartin@applevalleyfire.org Resident Correspondence From: Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 3:41 PM To: Murphy, Joan < > Subject: Re: Petition of Hope Church C&M Alliance and Hempel Companies for rezoning & conditional use Dear City of Apple Valley Planning Department members and others whom It may concern, This message is to note my concerns regarding the petition of Hope Church C&M Alliance and Hempel Companies for the rezoning and conditional use of the Hope Church property. I have some considerations to express both as a direct neighbor of the church and as an Apple Valley resident. I have itemized my considerations below. 1- The intersection of Cedar and 145th Street West is a somewhat popular place for U -Turns. Individuals traveling South on Cedar Avenue often perform a U -Turn at the intersection of 145th Street West, and then proceed to head North on Cedar Avenue. (The frequency of these U -Turns increased after the intersection changes were completed for the Red Line Cedar Avenue roadway construction). If this resolution passes and the 7200 square foot structure is built on the Hope Church property, there will be more traffic at the intersection of Cedar and 145th Street West. Increased commercial property traffic leaving the Hope Church site that turn right to head North on Cedar could potentially collide with individuals performing the aforementioned Cedar Avenue U -Turns at the intersection. 2- I was pleased to be a direct neighbor of Hope Church. As a church neighbor, there is a reasonable expectation of the enhanced quality of that neighbor. In other words, they are quiet neighbors and embody values important to the community. The same expectations do not exist for commercial neighbors. Naturally, I am not pleased about the prospect of increased noise and traffic in my direct neighborhood. Importantly, aside from the proposal of a bank teller drive-thru structure, the other tenants of the proposed structure are unknown. If the 0.8 -acre church parcel is sold, there is quite a spectrum of unfavorable business that fall under the category of "professional office and neighborhood retail uses." Indeed, I would not want or choose to be neighbor to a number of businesses, and some could potentially drop my property value due to noise, traffic, or other considerations. 3- In general, Apple Valley has had several recent constructions that are physically close to the sidewalks of heavily -trafficked roadways in Apple Valley. These newer constructions obstruct the skyline view and the sun because they are so close to the street. They also create windy conditions for anyone walking on the ground near the buildings. Aesthetically speaking, I personally find them unpleasing due to their obstructive nature and very close proximity to the roadways. My understanding is that the proposed structure to be built on Hope Church's property is approximately 20 feet tall. While it may not be as obstructive as other multi -story projects, it still would be unfavorably close to the sidewalk.
