4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Apple Valley Golf Course Comprehensive Plan Amendments — PC19-09-P
Chair Melander addressed the audience of the process of the public hearing and the role of the
Planning Commission. He opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m.
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated 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.

Planning Commission Minutes

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 is currently zoned "P" (Institutional). Institutional districts are areas 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.
He said 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 is 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.
Chair Melander asked what the height limit would be for an M-8 zoning that is not in the downtown
area.
Mr. Lovelace replied it would still be three stories.
Chair Melander inquired about the pipeline running through the site.
Mr. Lovelace answered there is an 80 -foot wide easement which uses 21/2 acres while the wetlands
uses 11/2 acres out of the 23 acres total.
Commissioner Alwin asked for clarification that this hearing was only about the zoning change.
Mr. Lovelace clarified that tonight is not a rezoning but only a Comprehensive Plan re -designation.
There is no application for rezoning nor development plan that has been brought forward by the
applicant. Their only request is a re -designation of the property.
Chair Melander asked for confirmation that the application was made by the owner of the property.
Mr. Lovelace answered yes, by Joel Watrud.
Commissioner Scanlan asked about the three designations and that those designations may vary as
to what probably comes forward. He asked for Mr. Lovelace to talk about high density and the
need for more apartments in Apple Valley.
Mr. Lovelace said that could be provided. There is a need for more apartments that is metro wide
and there are articles in the paper all the time.

Peter Coyle, Larkin Hoffman, representing the Watrud family, reported that golf courses are
struggling around the country. He said the owner tried years ago to sell but decided to keep the
enterprise going for another 10 years. He added a large open space will attract users and the comp
plan process is a forecast. They proposed medium density and high density because there is a high
demand for housing and a growing demand for senior housing that is affordable. This land will be a
challenge with the pipeline going through it and the wetlands need to go through the regulatory
process. He understands the anxiety that goes with it and that Mr. Watrud is a landowner and
taxpayer and he has rights too.
Randy Neubauer, 13609 Hollins Ct, referenced the City's mission statement to pledge and promote
the health and well-being of its citizens and all who visit the City. He talked about goals and
quality development. He said this zoning request is in conflict with the City's mission statement
and goals. He said in regards to safety, 140th Street is already a very busy street. He felt that high
density with 12 units per acre should be located where services are like private shopping and that
the bus route has limited services.
Mike Scherer, 8473 — 142nd Street Ct., said there is a business owner who has run an immaculate
business over the years and he thinks the City should buy the golf course and keep it as a golf
course. He understands there is a need for senior citizen housing and apartment complexes. He
said if the need is so great for housing, why does the City not use its own land of 190 acres at
Valleywood Golf Course and put that into housing which has extremely better road access rather
than cram this proposal into a tiny 23 -acre site. If the need is so great, why is the City not using its
own land, bulldozing that and putting in condominiums and apartment complexes for seniors. He
said in 2011 the City spent $3 million for a brand new club house at Valleywood and if they can
spend $3 million on a club house they can certainly buy this golf course and help out a land owner
who has been an excellent community member, and help all these people who are here tonight.
Jon Kotek, 13583 Hollins Ct, said he drove past an Eagan golf course that was rezoned and it turned
into a development and it pained him on how many trees were cut and cleared out of there for that
development and considering Apple Valley's sign has a tree on it he would think we would want to
keep the trees a little bit more around here. He said the amount of the aged oaks on this site (Apple
Valley Golf Course) it would just kill him to see that kind of stuff get destroyed.
Kathy Lundin, 13531 Hollins Ct, commented that this is a peaceful place and she would be
devastated by a three-story apartment and stacked townhomes and she thinks it is an extremely poor
use of the land. She referenced the Comp Plan Land Use section: "The City seeks to maintain the
integrity of existing neighborhoods". She said the Comp Plan states that: "The land must be
compatible with the adjacent properties." She did not think this would be in scale with the single-
family homes that are all around the golf course now. She said this rezoning is in total
disagreement with the Apple Valley Comprehensive Plan and if the Planning Commission agrees
with the rezoning then the Commission is completely ignoring the City's Comprehensive Plan. She
does not think the citizens of Apple Valley will have much respect for city government that does not
follow the guidelines that the City made up themselves. She said the Comp Plan refers to high
density areas having other Apple Valley services available. She added that all other Apple Valley
apartments are in high density areas not in residential areas. She said that when the Commission

makes their decision they should think of the people. She said property values will suffer, traffic
and noise will be unbearable and beautiful green space filled with trees and ponds will disappear.
This is not the right location for apartments.
Michelle Gustafson, 8415 — 141st Ct. W, said this zoning plan will have a detrimental impact on the
schools directly surrounding this neighborhood. She believes high density would have an impact on
our neighborhood schools.
Vickie Loher-Johnson, 8907 — 138th Street Ct, said the zoning of this property is for recreational use
and the owner purchased this land knowing that zoning classification and what the owner did not
purchase and has no right to was a lucrative high density residential development opportunity. It is
not an issue of anxiety of this neighborhood about change. It is an issue with Apple Valley keeping
the promise it made when zoning this site for recreational use and zoning the surrounding property
for single-family low density residential use. She expressed concern for the busy traffic on 140th
Street and that Gardenview goes downhill. She understands the demand for housing in Apple
Valley and that other areas are available and more appropriate.
Derek Ingvalson, 13931 Holyoke Path, expressed concern for the loss of green space and that
children can be impacted from this loss because there are significant health benefits to having green
space. He had a concern for the water quality in Alimagnet Lake and the impervious surfaces. He
said there are different ways to preserve this green space if the City of Apple Valley would purchase
this land and turn it into parks. He referenced the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and
had an example of the application.
Brad Blackett, 457 Relection Road, referenced the zoning chapter 155.347 about natural features
and that ponding will not have an adverse effect on the site. He said the golf course has natural
vegetation. He said putting in surface parking, etc. will have an impact and that adding more runoff
will add more problems. He said infiltration of rain water into a site has a calculation. More
frequency of heavy rains causes water flushing straight through into the lake. He is looking to the
Planning Commission and staff for what impact impervious surface has on Alimagnet Lake and
how to accommodate the runoff water during the changing climate, additional rainfalls and the five-
year floods.
Mike Lotzer, 13826 Holyoke Lane, said if he owned the land he would be tempted to sell the land
for residential property because it would be a good return on investment on the land he worked on
for many years. He does not blame the owner for doing what he is doing. He does not blame any
of the people in attendance for voicing concerns. He said it is hard to get out onto 140th Street from
the neighborhood across from the golf course. He added this is a unique space and that the business
owner is within his rights to do what he is doing but he would like to keep this site special because
urban sprawl is ugly and he would probably move.
Patrick Luke, 13647 Holyoke Lane, stated that if an owner wants to sell his land he has a right. He
said he has water already and why alter to get more. His sub -pump runs all the time.

Jennifer Deviley, 14105 Gardenview Ct, said there are water issues. She loves her community and
Apple Valley and does not think the City needs that apartment building. She has a passion about
keeping the green space. If the apartment building comes in she would move.
Mary Mittelstaedt, 7797 Whitney Dr, said there are apartments across from where she lives and
those apartments did not all get filled yet. She thinks the City should buy the golf course land from
the property owner and build a community park on the west side of town and make a wildlife area
to bring back the bees.
Ryan Tauer, 13576 Hollins Ct, referenced a Supreme Court decision of Mendota Heights vs
Mendota Golf LLC from January 2006 which had comp plan concerns in that city where Mendota
Heights did not have a clear view to amend its comprehensive plan. He believes in keeping the
green space.
Betty Salisbury, 8793 — 135th Street W, feels the City is losing green space. She has attended Music
in the Park at Kelley Park and had always enjoyed it there and does not enjoy the high density
development at Kelley Park and believes it is getting to be a high density ghetto in Apple Valley.
She said Kelley Park is not Kelley Park anymore. She would like this spot owned by the City and
remain as green space.
Kristin Fyanzoni, 8624 — 144th Street W, referenced Minnesota Statute that there is no justified
basis in rezoning this land from the City's current Comprehensive Plan. Apple Valley is in the
same status it has been in for years. The neighborhood was well established for years. She said this
change does not promote health and welfare. These families cannot afford $400,000 homes. She
thinks the land should be re -purposed for a Kelley Park on this side of Apple Valley.
Kathy Osgood 15601 Foliage Avenue, agreed with other people to make this land a Kelley Park
West and asked if we could just not recreate and keep it a beautiful space.
Tim Thurnbald, 8435 — 135th Street W, said it is very important to maintain green space. Wetland
and buffer zones cannot have housing on them so use those sections as parklands. At least have the
City consider that idea. People value green space and feel betrayed when green spaces lost out.
Ground water could be left natural. He believes in preserving the environment for birds and other
animals in the area. You never see a natural area turn back later. This is the one and only
opportunity to make the right decision and keep the green space.
Marilyn Gackenheimer, 13655 Hershey Ct, said she has had many friends comment to her how
beautiful this city is. She would hate to see the green space go because once it is gone, we do not
get it back. She said we do not need a concrete jungle in this area and the high traffic and feels the
high pack is not for her neighborhood.
Stacey Klein, 8655 — 143rd Street Ct, said she wanted to be a voice for schools on the west side. She
said we need things to entice young families to move to the west side of Apple Valley. She said
Apple Valley High School is at its lowest enrollment in history since the school opened. It's a good
school but we do not have a shiny new development going up over here like they do on the east side

that is filling up Rosemount and Eastview. She believes a green space is going to entice younger
families to move here, like if there is a park there or a section of it was a dog park to let our dogs
run.
Mary Berg, 13362 Hughes Ct, quoted an artist — Big Yellow Taxi — song by Counting Crows. "No,
no no. Don't it always seem to go. That you don't know what you got till it gone. They paved
paradise and put up a parking lot".
John Boesen, 4950 Upper 148th Ct, said he has been listening to all the reasons why we should not
make this other than low density housing. He said we have heard about green space, a pipeline
running through it, how to do density housing and water runoff. He said there is no reason why this
should be changed to a high density area other than money. He said if this is not about money there
is no reason to put this into anything other than low density and this would give the land owner the
ability to at least change his property, maybe a profit or maybe a break even.
Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 8:36 p.m.
5. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS
A. Jardin (har-DEEN) Academy Daycare/Jardin Addition — PC19-08-SCBF
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated 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 public hearing for
the Jardin Academy Daycare was held on May 15, 2019. Revised plans were received to address
any issues raised at the public hearing.
The property is currently zoned "LB" (Limited Business) which lists a daycare facility as a
conditional use in the zoning district. 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 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. 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.
She reviewed the parking requirements and said 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.
City Engineer Brandon Anderson said the traffic signals on Cedar Avenue will get longer.

Commissioner Scanlan asked about the parking lot and the way the building is set up by the
sidewalk and if it would be better to shift the handicapped to the south for dropping off and picking
up.

Ayes -7 -Nays -0.
MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann recommending

Ayes -7 -Nays -0.
B. Cider Ridge Marketplace/Hope Alliance 2nd Addition — PC19-05-PZSCB
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated 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.
She said the public hearing 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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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. Parking requirements are met
when the two sites are calculated together. Cross -access and cross -parking easements will be
executed between the two lots. 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.
She said the City Engineer reviewed the plans and he noted 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.
Discussion followed.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin recommending
approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment redesignating Lot 2 from "INST"
(Institutional) to "C" (Commercial). Ayes - 7 - Nays - 0.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin recommending
approval of a rezoning of Lot 2 from "P" (Institutional) to "PD" (Planned
Development) subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
execution of a Planned Development Agreement, with conditions as stated in the
draft PD Ordinance. Ayes - 7 - Nays - 0.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin recommending
approval of the Subdivision by Preliminary Plat of Hope Alliance 2nd Addition
subject to compliance with all City Codes and the following conditions:
1. Approval of the Preliminary Plat is subject to approval of the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Planned Development Agreement.
2. A cash -in -lieu of land parkland dedication shall be required for Lot 2 based on
the number of employees expected in accordance with the formula set forth in
Subdivision Code Sect. 153.29.

Tough Mudder/Ryan Real Estate Zoning Amendment - PC19-12-Z

Applicant:
14750 Cedar, LLC.
Project Number:

Applicant Date: 6/19/2019
60 Days: 8/18/2019
120 Days: 10/17/2019
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Open public hearing, receive comments, close public hearing. It is the policy of
the Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public
hearing.
2. Although the Planning Commission doesn't normally take action on the same night as
the public hearing, this item is considered a minor amendment request and staff is
comfortable moving forward with the request. If the Planning Commission concurs, the
following action would be recommended:
Recommend approval of the draft ordinance amending PD -290, Zone 5, to
allow a fitness facility, day spa or yoga studio as a permitted use in the zone.
SUM MARY:
The owners of the former Ryan Real Estate property, 14750 Cedar Ave, LLC (Launch
Property), are moving forward with the redevelopment of the former Ryan Real Estate
property at 14750 Cedar Ave. The owners are in the process of leasing up the previously
reviewed and approved building and would like to include a fitness facility, day spa or yoga
studio as a tenant. The approved plan has been slightly modified from the previous
approval. Similar to the approved plans, the existing real estate/multiple-tenant office
building would be removed and an 11,200 square foot building would be constructed.
However, the coffee shop drive-thru lane is no longer part of the plan. Instead, the multiple -
tenant building is proposed to have a dental clinic, Mexican restaurant, sandwich shop and
barber shop. The petitioners would like to include a 3,200 sq. ft. Tough Mudder fitness
facility as a tenant in the building.
An amendment would be needed to the zoning district, PD -290, Zone 5, in order to allow a
fitness facility, day spa or yoga studio.
The current zoning, PD -290, Zone 5, has an "LB" (Limited Business) underlying zoning
which allows primarily professional office buildings, banks, and restaurants. The zoning does
not allow for retail sales. A fitness facility may be viewed as a service to nearby employees
in nearby office buildings. This type of fitness facility is described by the applicant as
follows:
Tough Mudder Bootcamp is a subset of the fitness category known as Studio Fitness.
Studio Fitness is generally considered to be group fitness based classes conducted in a
small format location (less than 4,000sf). They typically have limits on class size and
are held at scheduled times throughout the day. They often allow for (or even require)
advance reservation for a space in the class. TMB currently has a max class size of 24
plus 3 staff. We would want to be able to increase that up to 36 and 4.
The petitioner states that a maximum of 40 people, counting members and staff, will use the
facility at any one time. The parking calculation indicates that the number of parking spaces
required is 92 and that 100 spaces are proposed on the site.

Description:
Pennock Center Conditional Use Permit, Setback Variances, and Site Plan Review - PC19-13-
CVB
Staff Contact:
Alex Sharpe, Planner and Economic Development Spec.
Department/ Division:
Community Development Department
Applicant:
Java Capital Partners, LLC
Project Number:
PC19-13-CVB
Applicant Date: 7/9/2019
60 Days: 9/7/2019
120 Days: 11/6/2019
ACTION REQUESTED:
Open public hearing, receive comments, close public hearing. It is the policy of the
Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public hearing.
SUMMARY:
The property owner of 7668 150th Street (Java Capital Partners), known as Pennock Center,
have applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), setback variances, and a site plan
building permit authorization.
The site has been reviewed for several projects over the last year, often with setback
variances and conditional uses. Due to the site constraints setback variances have been
adopted with prior site plans. An adopted variance runs with the land, rather than the site plan
so several of the setback variances for this site plan may already be approved. However, the
applicant is seeking greater variance for the parking a building setback from CSAH 42. The
site is the former location of Liberty Tax, but has been vacant for several years.
A CUP is required for a Class -II restaurant in association with the drive-through coffee to
ensure adverse impacts are able to be mitigated. The site is zoned "RB" (Retail Business)
and is guided for commercial development. The coffee shop is proposed to be 623 sq. ft.
with the remainder of the site being occupied by a 4,011 sq. ft. single story office building.
Additionally, the applicant proposes to utilize a pre -fabricated structure for the coffee use,
which is being evaluated by staff for code compliance. The City's downtown design
guidelines provide standards within the ring -route which may not permit pre -fabricated
structures or the materials show.
BACKGROUND:
Comprehensive Plan: The site is designated for commercial development and is located
within the downtown ring -route. This designation places a high importance on the building
aesthetic and compatible materials to those utilized in the ring -route. The proposed use as a
coffee drive-through is permitted within the designation, additional uses will need to be
identified to determine conformance.
Zoning: As mentioned, the site is zoned "RB" (Retail Business), which conditionally permits
Class -II restaurants, which are those that prepare food to be consumed primarily off the
premises. Previously, the site has been approved for a Class -III restaurant, which would
provide for indoor seating of customers and a majority of food to be consumed on the
premises.
Site Demolition: The project proposes to demolish the existing structure and remove the
existing infrastructure. A tree is proposed to be retained, however it is already nearly dead
and not viable. Trees planted along the Cedar Ave corridor are in the right-of-way and shall
be protected.
Site Plan: The site plan shows two structures, an 4,011 sq. ft. structure which does not
identify users, and a second 623 sq. ft. prefabricated coffee drive-through structure. Unless
specifically permitted by the city, no more than one principal structure is permitted per lot.
However, the two structures are acting as a single structure and utilizing a shared utility via
separate meters. Users have not been identified for the bulli of the tenant space, if the users
are identified as a restaurant additional parking and traffic evaluation will be required.
The proposed configuration of the parking area presents difficulties for users to adequately
exit when entering drive isles. Drive isles do not offer space for users to turn around in the
event of all parking stalls being utilized. This may create an unsafe parking condition where
users are attempting to turn around in the drive-through, or at the end of a dead end lane
without adequate turning space.
The site is proposed to be accessed via a single access point the the east side of the site from
the shared driveway for the shopping center. In contrast with other drive-through lanes which
have been approved, an escape, or bypass lane is not included. The City has required
escape/bypass lanes for other recent drive-through approvals, particularly when adjacent to
major roadways. Additionally, the drive-through lane is constrained in the north east corner of
the site due to the building corner and the turning movements required.
Setback Variances: Setbacks variances for the building and parking are requested with this
application. As previously noted, the site has received multiple approvals in past iterations
and as such some of the variances identified may not be required.
• Building setback from CSAH 42 - reduced from 50' to 20' 11" (31' variance)
• Parking setback from CSAH 42 - reduced from 15' to 5' (10' variance)
• Parking setback Pennock Lane - reduced 15' to approximately 5' (applicant shall supply
surveyed distance)
Parking: If the primary structure is utilized as retail or office users the site is able to meet it's
parking demand of 33 stalls in the current configuration. However, restaurant users may be
limited on the site due to parking constraints unless the site is able to obtain cross parking
agreements.
Site Utilities: The site cannot support more than a single access for site utilities, the two uses
shall utilize a shared utility connection. The plan set currently submitted meets this
requirement, but does not demonstrate how the coffee use will receive utilities.
Stormwater is proposed to be treated via an underground basin, the City Engineer shall
approve the design and placement prior to issuance of a building permit.
Design Guidelines: Code notes that the City of Apple Valley's Downtown Design Guidelines
are in effect for this parcel as it is within the City's "ring route". These standards are guided
by the City's investment into the area with permanent infrastructure that is maintained to a
high standard, all new structures are required to be of comparable architecture. Submissions
from the applicant include materials for the primary structure, but do not detail the materials
for the prefabricated structure. These shall be required to ensure compliance with the design
guidelines for this area. Additionally, the materials for each building shall be consistent with
one another and shall be equally attractive on all sides. Due to the nature of pre -fabricated
structures, and the high standards in the ring -route, staff has concerns that the building may
be unable to meet City requirements.
Trash and Utility Access: The building plans currently place the main utilities, including the
emergency fire access panels on the east side of the building with access from the drive-
through lane. The Fire Marshal's memo has noted that if fire apparatus are unable to
maneuver the property due to low turning radius the emergency fire alarm equipment and
sprinkler are required to be accessible in the front of the building. Additionally, conflicts are
present when trash enclosures are accessed through a drive-through lane where a traditional
garbage truck is unable to maneuver, as in this case. The applicant shall provide auto -turn
drawings demonstrating fire apparatus and trash vehicles are able to traverse the drive-
through if these uses remain on the side of the structure.
Landscaping: The landscape plan places several large trees and bushes over the dedicated
drainage and utility easement, which is not permitted. The applicant will be required to meet
or exceed 2.5% of the value of the cost of the construction of the building based on Means
Construction Data. The site is constrained and may be required to utilize other opportunities
for landscape improvements such as improved pavers, patio features or exterior private art.
Building facade improvements may not be utilized to meet this requirement. Additionally, the
chosen tree species, Black Hills Spruce, are large trees that may not suite a constrained site
and would block viability. The Natural Resource Specialist recommends substitution of a
narrower tree species and removal of the damaged maple tree mentioned previously.

TO: Alex Sharpe- Planner
FROM: Brian Kilmartn, Fire Marshal
DATE: 10th July, 2019
SUBJECT: 7668 150th Street- Pennock Center
Alex,
Per your request regarding the above project, I've listed a couple bullet point comments for
you to pass along. I'd be happy to discuss any questions or concerns with either you or the
developer.
- The entire building will be required to be fully sprinkled, the prefab structure will not be
viewed as a separate building thus it will have to be sprinkled as part of the entire
structure.
- The drive lane is very narrow and the left turn at the NE corner of the building seems
restricting for Fire Apparatus, we have a standard template for Fire Apparatus access. I
believe the City Engineer will provide that template as part of his comments.
- If Fire Apparatus won't be able to maneuver the entire property, both the Fire Sprinkler
Riser and Fire Alarm equipment will have to be relocated to the front of the building.
- If this property is going to be addressed as indicated, each tenant will have to be assigned
suite numbers (example 100,120,130 etc.)

Control Agency, Met Council, Department of Labor and any other required permits prior to
Building permit authorization.
• A Natural Resource Management Permit (NRMP) will be required prior to any land

• Proposed use is consistent with previous applications and traffic study needs. No
additional mitigation is required on Pennock Avenue. The previous Traffic Impact Study
indicates the need for a WB left and right leaving the site in the shared entrance off

show vehicle) stacking distances on the plan.
• Show truck movement with Auto turn entering site to ensure emergency and service
vehicles can maneuver within the site.
• Given the radius required to maneuver the drive thru (no bypass or service lane is provided)
as proposed, a service, emergency or commercial vehicle will have a difficult time
maneuvering. The drive through lane should be modified to prevent vehicle conflicts.
• Parking and site circulation will be problematic when entering the NW corner of the site.
If cars are in the drive thru and parked in parking lot there is not turn around available.
The parking and drive aisle on the west side of the building show be modified to provide
an adequate vehicle turn around or one-way traffic circulation only.
• The parking in the center of the site would need to allow for circulation.

required as part of Development Agreement and be privately owned and maintained
• Additional one way traffic markings may be necessary at drive-through lane.

removed or abandoned in place. The existing wye shall be capped as part of the
removal/abandonment.
• Valves should be shown in the pavement area and not near the building on the patio for
accessibility by Utility Staff.
Natural Resources
• Several of the replacement trees are proposed in the Drainage and Utility easement area.
Trees should not be planted in public drainage and utility easements.
• Protect trees in Dakota County right-of-way throughout construction. These young trees
were replacements provided by Dakota Electric Association.
• One maple tree proposed to be protected on the western edge should be removed — it is
split and may be considered hazardous.
• The three proposed Black Hills Spruce will be 30'+ wide upon maturity. Substitute a
narrower species or alter the planting location — if the maple is removed there is more
green space available.
