(PC12-30-SCB) LOCATION: 7510 — 145th Street West PETITIONER: Kwik Trip, Inc - Convenience Store Investments Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 2 of 7 City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicant, Kwik Trip, Inc., requested to have the public hearing continued to the October 3, 2012, Planning Commission meeting. MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke, continuing the public hearing to the October 3, 2012, Planning Commission meeting. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. Cub Foods Addition — Consideration of a proposed replat of an existing 11.6-acre lot into three (3) lots for future commercial/retail development on two lots located directly adjacent to 153rd Street West, with the remaining lot being the location of the existing Cub Foods grocery store. (PC12-24-S) LOCATION: 15350 Cedar Avenue PETITIONER: Oppidan, Inc. and SVH Realty, Inc. City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicants, Oppidan, Inc. and SVH Realty, Inc. requested approval of the subdivision of an existing 11.6-acre lot into three lots. Lot 1, 9.47 acres, would be the location of the existing Cub Foods grocery store. The applicant is proposing to reduce the size of the existing 108,527 sq. ft. store by approximately 15,000 sq. ft. as part of a remodeling project. The one-acre Lot 2 is proposed to be the future location of a Class II restaurant with drive-thru lane(s). The final lot, 1.04 acres, would be proposed to the location of a 7,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant retail building. Access to the proposed subdivision will be from 153rd Street West at the existing locations. Access to Lots 2 and 3 within the proposed subdivision would be via existing drives located in Lot 1 and the lot directly to the east (the Appliance Smart store). Part of any approval of this subdivision would be the execution of cross access easement agreements between all parties that allow for ingress and egress from all lots as well as the property to the east of the proposed subdivision. Sanitary and storm sewer lines to serve Lots 2 and 3 would be located within Lot 1. Maintenance and access agreement(s) would need to be executed for any utility lines that extend across multiple properties within the proposed subdivision. Development of the existing parking lots along the north side of the property into building sites would likely see an increase in traffic along the existing most northerly east/west drive aisle. Concerns had been raised regarding the close proximity of the drive aisle intersection to the signalized intersection and potential vehicle stacking and sightline issues, which require that the intersection be moved farther south. Chair Melander stated he did not see a sidewalk drawn in for the retail building. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 3 of 7 Mr. Lovelace answered there were no sidewalks shown on the plans but the applicant would need to provide sidewalk plans before any building permit would be issued. Staff would have the ability to approve sidewalks to see that those connections would be made. Commissioner Scanlan inquired if the handicapped access from Cedar Avenue to the Cub Foods store, which had previously been blocked due to Cedar Avenue construction, would come later. Mr. Lovelace stated that would be reviewed internally when a building permit would be requested. Commissioner Diekmann inquired how close a Class I restaurant could be to a neighborhood. Mr. Lovelace said that had not been checked out yet. If the restaurant would be less than 1000 feet a variance would be needed. Commissioner Diekmann asked if the changing of the south lot line for the retail building does anything to the site as a whole and if there would be cross access easements among all three lots. Mr. Lovelace stated the changing of the south lot line does not do anything to the site as a whole but they prefer that the parking needed on Lot 3 would be wholly contained within their own property. He further stated there would not be direct access off 153rd Street so a cross access agreement would be part of the approval for the final plat that the developer would need to have executed. Commissioner Diekmann asked if the current monument sign for the Cub Foods would be on the property of Lot 2 at that point and if all the signs including the one for the restaurant would be on that same monument sign. Mr. Lovelace stated yes. Commissioner Alwin inquired if after the lots are sold off if the sign for Cub Foods would remain where it is. Mr. Lovelace stated that he assumes Cub Foods would plan to acquire an easement for the sign because it is a center sign including other retail businesses on it. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke, approving Cub Foods preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1. The south lot line of Lot 3 shall be revised to ensure that all parking spaces are located within the lot. 2. The most easterly intersection of the east/west drive aisle located on the north side of Lot 1 shall be located no closer than 150 feet from 153rd Street West as measured from the south curb line of 153rd Street West to the north curb line of the east/west drive aisle. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 4 of 7 3. Maintenance and access agreement(s) will need to be executed for any utility lines that extend across multiple properties within the proposed subdivision. 4. A proof-of parking plan shall be approved to show 37 spaces along the west side of the existing building on Lot 1. 5. Connections shall be made to those public sidewalks that allow for pedestrian access to the lots within the proposed subdivision. Ayes Nays O. 13. Lot 3, Cub Foods Addition Retail Building — Consideration of site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 7,000 sq. ft. retail building on 1.04-acre lot. (PC12- 32-B) City Planner Tom Lovelace explained the applicants, Oppidan, Inc. and SVH Realty, Inc. requested site plan/building permit authorization approval to allow for construction of a 7,000 sq. ft. retail building on a 1.04-acre lot. The site is located on the south side of 153rd Street West, east of Cedar Avenue. The project's site is part of a preliminary plat that would subdivide the existing 11.63-acre lot into three new lots. Lot 3, which is located in the northeast corner of the site, would be the location of the proposed multi-tenant retail building. No permit shall be issued for this project until after the approval and recording of the Cub Foods Addition final plat. Access to the site would be via existing drives on the Cub Foods property and the lot directly to the east. Part of any approval of this site plan/building permit authorization would be the execution of cross access easement agreements between all parties that allow for ingress and egress from all lots within the proposed Cub Foods Addition subdivision as well as the property to the east of the proposed subdivision. Thirteen (13) parking spaces located along the north property line do not meet the minimum length. Revisions would need to be made to bring those parking spaces into compliance. The striped areas at the end of the parking stalls located just south the project's site on the Cub Foods property should be replaced with raised parking islands. The site plan did not identify the location of a trash enclosure that would be addressed with the applicant. The plan shows a 6-foot wide sidewalk along the west side of the patio, which abuts the curb of the parking lot, which a portion may be impeded by vehicles parking in the abutting spaces. Staff is recommending that the sidewalk along the west side of the building be increased from 6 feet to a minimum of 7 Y2 feet. An existing sidewalk runs along the south side of 153rd Street West. A minimum of one connection from the sidewalk along 153rd Street West should be made to the building. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 5 of 7 Revisions to the landscape plan should be made as per the Natural Resources Coordinator's comments, as identified in this staff report, at the time of submission of plans for a building permit. Existing utilities that currently serve the Cub Foods store would be extended to serve the proposed development. Storm sewer and a proposed underground storm water infiltration system would be installed to capture and treat storm water runoff. Private utility easements and maintenance agreements would need to be executed prior to submittal for a building permit. Commissioner Scanlan inquired if the 3 - 15' wide sidewalk was on the north side. Mr. Lovelace answered yes it would be on the north side and it was expected to be just a service area where goods are received and not for use by the general public. Chair Melander stated the plans show four slots in the place and inquired as to the other two tenants. Mr. Lovelace stated the applicant identified Smashburger with a patio in one, Sport Clips in another and two more tenants in the future on the easterly end. Commissioner Burke asked about snow piles in the winter months and if they would be piled in the Cub Foods lot. Mr. Lovelace stated it may be moved in the Cub Foods lot and they may have an agreement for snow removal for all three of the lots. Commissioner Diekmann inquired as to the purpose of the 15' wide sidewalk on the east side of the building and asked for clarification of the west side of the building with the overhang regarding the 6' wide sidewalk and the 2' overhang. He asked what the minimum sidewalk width the City is lookinE for. Mr. Lovelace stated staff's concern of sidewalk width on the west side was for access to the building because parking was added on that side and with cars overlapping between the curb line and the fence line of the outdoor patio then sidewalk width was more of a concern. He stated the City is looking for a minimum of 5' and therefore recommended to the applicant that they consider 7 because of the overhang. He said there was not a concern for sidewalk width on the east side. Commissioner Diekmann asked if there was any concern for site access off 153rd Street where the plans allow for entrance but traffic was allowed to go right or left but not straight. He inquired if there would be signage for this area to control traffic through that intersection. Mr. Lovelace stated the drive is private and he expects they would have stop signs at that location as internal controls. Paul Tucci, Oppidan, Inc., shared that the reason for the wide sidewalk width on the east side was for an opportunity of a few chairs set out for a possible sandwich shop as one of the tenants. They CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 6 of 7 anticipate installing stop signs to control the east/west traffic in the drive aisle which would be longer in feet than it currently is now. Cross access agreements and snow removal plans are being addressed. Sidewalk connections from the east side of the building to 153rd Street West would be installed. MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Diekmann, approving the site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 7,000 sq. ft. retail building on Lot 3, Block 1 Cub Foods Addition, according to the preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions: • Issuance of a building permit shall be contingent on the approval and recording of the Cub Foods Addition final plat. • All parking spaces shall meet the minimum parking requirements. The striped areas at the end of the parking stalls located just south the project's site on the Cub Foods property shall be replaced with raised parking islands. The sidewalk along the west side of the building shall be increased from 6 feet to a minimum of 7i/2 feet. A minimum of one sidewalk connection from the sidewalk along 153rd Street West should be made to the building. • The location and design of a trash enclosure shall be approved by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit. • Private utility easements and maintenance agreements shall be executed prior to submittal for a building permit. • A cross access easement agreement shall be executed prior to issuance of a building permit. • All applicable City ordinances shall be strictly adhered to. Ayes - - Nays - O. 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. Cedar Avenue BRTOD Guide Plan Project Update — Update on the City's Bus Rapid Transit Oriented Design (BRTOD) Guide Plan that will provide design criteria and land use regulation tools to help guide development along the Cedar Avenue BRT corridor and within 1/2 mile of each station stop. Associate Planner Kathy Bodmer updated the Commission that in 2010 the City of Apple Valley was awarded a $60,000 Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) Pre-Development Grant from the Metropolitan Council to hire a consultant to perform a planning study of Bus Rapid Transit-Oriented Development (BRTOD) opportunities along the Cedar Avenue transitway. Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. (HKGi) was selected to create a guide plan which would provide design criteria and land use regulation tools which would help to guide development along the BRT corridor and within 1/2 mile of the on-line Cedar Avenue transit stations in Apple Valley. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 5, 2012 Page 7 of 7 Bus rapid transit (BRT) service would begin operation in 2013 on Cedar Avenue, the first BRT system to operate in the State of Minnesota. The Apple Valley BRTOD Guide Plan would be used to guide development to create housing, retail, live/work, office and entertainment uses in more intensive configurations that take advantage of the enhanced transit service on Cedar Avenue. Mark Koegler, Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc., project manager for the consulting group, provided an overview of the study and guide plan. The BRTOD Guide Plan would include the following three elements: (1) a synthesis of recently completed market studies and demographic analyses, (2) guide plans and design principles, and (3) recommended land use controls. He said Apple Valley is unique to have the BRTOD because it creates opportunity and he reviewed various designs for the different quadrants surrounding Cedar Avenue and County Rd 42. B. Review of upcoming schedule and other updates. Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist stated that the next Planning Commission meeting would take place Wednesday, September 19, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. 8. ADJOURNMENT Hearing no further comments from the Planning Staff or Planning Commission, Chair Melander asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. Res ctfully Submitted, Joq Murphy, Planning D 1. artm Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on Case Number: PC12-31-ZSE3G taff Reviewer: Kathy Bodmer Petition for: Summary of Introduction: The petitioner is requesting amendments to Planned Development No. 739, Issues: preliminary plat and Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization to construct a 134-unit multiple family building along Galaxie Avenue, and a 198-unit multiple family building just north of Kelley Park across 152nd Street. The Galante building, located between Galaxie Avenue and Galante Lane, will have "suburban intensified" characteristics which include construction up to the right-of-way line of Galaxie Avenue, a flat roof, an outdoor rooftop terrace and elements that will encourage pedestrian traffic along Galaxie Avenue. The Gabella building, located between Gabella and 152nd Streets, will have more suburban characteristics which will include being set back eighteen feet from 152n Street, a pitched roof, and direct vehicle access to the front door from a circular driveway feature. Zoning Amendments Requested: The petitioner is requesting several amendments to Planned Development No. 739: 1. Rezone Blocks 7 and 8 to Zone 1 to allow multiple family only buildings along Galaxie Avenue. 2. Remove zone lA and allow "assisted care facility" to permitted uses in Zone 1. 3. Allow single-use buildings along Galaxie Avenue. 4. Allow commercial buildings in a single story building with a two-story facade. 5. Align the subzones with the platted lot boundaries. Site Plan Issues: PARKSIDE VILLAGE Amendments to PD-739 Zoning District (Central Village) Preliminary Plat Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization Applicant: IMH Special Asset NT 175 AVN LLC and Titan Development I, LLC Application Date: August 22, 2012 Meeting Date: September 19, 2012 1. Galante Building: The Galante Building is a 4-story 134-unit multiple family building located on the northeast corner of 153 Street and Galaxie Avenue. At 134 units, the site has a density of 45.6 units/acre. The building is setback from Galaxie Avenue six feet (6') which is consistent with the Central Village Plan. The massing of the four-story building is broken up with a one-story community area in the middle of the building which will contain such amenities as a fitness area, game room, club area/party room and yoga studio. The building is designed with distinctive rounded tower elements at the intersections of the Galaxie Avenue & 153r Street and Galaxie Avenue & 1 52 Street in keeping with the Central Village Plan vision. The building's mass at 153r and Galaxie has been designed to provide sight lines into Kelly Park from adjacent developed properties. A vacation of a portion of Fortino Street is currently being reviewed by the City Council in connection with this project. A total of 134 garage parking spaces and 147 surface parking spaces are required; 135 garage spaces and 149 surface spaces are provided. The plans indicate that some of the underground parking spaces will be 8.5 wide which is less than the City's typical parking space width requirement of 9'. The City Code has no provision for "compact" parking spaces at this time. The parking lot is shown set back from Galante Lane 5' which may be problematic for snow storage. Given the fact that the first floor units have steps that lead out directly to Galaxie Avenue, staff would like to see the parking spaces remain to provide additional parking opportunities and traffic calming on Galaxie. The City Engineer notes that the garage elevation of the Galante building needs to be raised because of the high water elevation of the downstream stormwater pond to a minimum elevation of 941.3 feet. 2. Gabella Building: The 198-unit Gabella building is aligned in an east-west configuration between Gabella and 152n Streets. At 198 units on a 5.2-acre site, the development has a density of 38.1 units/acre. The Gabella building is configured as two u-shaped buildings which are connected with a one- story community area with amenities that will include an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, internet cafe, club room/party room, yoga studio and game room. A vacation of a portion of Fontana Trail is currently being reviewed by the City Council in connection with this project. A 24" public storm sewer located in Fontana Trail will need to be relocated with new drainage and utility easements dedicated. In addition, public utilities are located along the north line of Block 3 which will require the dedication of additional D/U easements. A total of 198 garage and 265 surface parking spaces are required; 202 garage and 259 surface parking spaces (233 parking lot and 26 on-street) are provided. Because the surface parking provided is six spaces short of the requirement, the City may wish to execute a proof-of-parking agreement that would require the installation of additional parking spaces on the east side of the site if additional parking is needed in the future. Elevation Drawings: Planned Development No. 739 requires a minimum of 50% non-combustible, non-degradable and maintenance free construction material (such as face brick or stone) with the balance being a non-manufactured construction material such as cedar or redwood, or manufactured, non-combustible material such as high quality cementitious fiberboard (CFB). It appears that the Galante building would not currently meet the exterior building material requirement because it is nearly 100% CFB. In addition, the plans indicate that the CFB is to be painted on both buildings, which would be contrary to the Zoning Code requirement that all building materials must be integrally colored. The developer should consider building treatments within the Central Village for complimentary face brick and stone options. The petitioner should also provide material samples and discuss the long-term durability and maintenance of the CFB being proposed. Landscape Plan: PD-739 requires screening of parking areas through walls or hedges from public streets which will need to be confirmed. In addition, screening of the Gabella building from the commercial properties to the north will need to be reviewed in more detail. The City's Natural Resources Coordinator provided a few minor recommended replacement plantings to ensure the long term viability of the development's landscaping. Recommended Open the Public Hearing, receive comments, then close the Public Hearing. It is the policy of Actions: the Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public hearing.

Key 9 of the Comprehensive Plan stresses that downtown Apple Valley continues to evolve in form, use and density and has expanded to include the Central Village, Apple Valley Transit Station, and Fischer Marketplace. The lots are located within the approved Central Village Plan which guides the development of the area for higher intensity mixed uses that include "a mix of places to shop, work, live and play." Livable Communities impact. The City participates in the Livable Communities program. The proposed development is consistent with the City's goal to provide a range of different styles of housing to allow for more "life-cycle" housing within the community. Zoning: The petitioner requests amendments to the Planned Development Zoning District No. 739 in order to develop the property as shown on the plans. The following amendments are requested: 1. Rezone Blocks 7 and 8 to Zone 1 to allow construction of multiple family residential building (single use) along Galaxie Avenue. 2. Remove Zone 1A and allow "assisted care facility" to permitted uses in Zone 1. Zone IA was established specifically to allow assisted care facilities. This amendment would allow the buildings currently being reviewed, the Galante and Gabelia buildings, to become assisted care or continuum of care buildings. Since the application is for mixed-income/mixed generation housing, it may be a better specify that the assisted care or continuum of care buildings may only be located on the parcels along 153' Street flanking Fresco Terrace. Allow single-use buildings along Galaxie Avenue. Currently, the Planned Development zoning district requires all development along Galaxie Avenue to be mixed-use, with retail/commercial on the first floor and either office and/or residential on upper stories. The zoning could be amended to allow both single use and mixed use development on the commercial lot north of the Galante building. 4. Allow commercial, including retail, office and service uses in a single story building with a two-story facade. Design expectations for a "facade" will need to be further defined to ensure the exterior design of any commercial buildings are in keeping with the design goals of the Central Village and the adjacent new or newer developments. 5. Align the subzones with the platted lot boundaries. Currently the subzones are established on a metes and bounds basis and do not align with the platted lot boundaries. In addition to the petitioner's requested amendments, the parcels to be purchased for the expansion of Kelley Park may be rezoned at this time to an institutional use. Preliminary Plat: The petitioner wishes to combine Blocks 7 and 8 along with a vacated portion of Fortino Street to create Lot 1, Block 2, Parkside Village for the Galante building. In addition, the petitioner proposes to combine Blocks 2 and 3 along with a vacated portion of Fontana Trail to create Lot 1, Block 1, Parkside Village for the Gabella building. The petitioner has submitted an application for a vacation of drainage & utility easements and right-of-way which is currently being reviewed by the City Council. A preliminary plat drawing has not been submitted in accordance with Sect. 155.23. Site Plan: Galante Building: The Galante Building is a 4-story 134-unit multiple family building located on the northeast corner of 153 Street and Galaxie Avenue. Access to the site will be gained from the east side of the property off of Galante Lane. Access to the underground parking will also be taken directly from Galante Lane. At 134 units, the site has a density of 45.6 units/acre. The building is setback from Galaxie Avenue six feet (6') which is consistent with the Central Village Plan. The parking lot is shown set back from Galaxie Avenue five feet (5'). Although PD-739 does not have setback criteria for parking, snow storage may be an issue and will need to be discussed with Engineering. The massing of the four-story building is broken up with a one-story community area in the middle of the building which will contain such amenities as a fitness area, game room, club area/party room and yoga studio. The building is designed with distinctive rounded tower elements at the intersections of Galaxie Avenue & 153r Street and Galaxie Avenue & 152 Street in keeping with the Central Village Plan vision. The petitioner also took sight lines toward Kelley Park into consideration in their building design and placement on the lot based upon discussions with the City. A vacation of a portion of Fortino Street is currently being reviewed by the City Council in connection with this project. The City Engineer currently sees no issue with removing and realigning the utilities which are currently located in Fortino Street. A total of 134 garage and 147 surface parking spaces are required; 135 garage spaces and 149 surface spaces (117 parking lot, 24 on-street and 8 proof-of-parking spaces) are provided. The plans indicate that some of the underground parking spaces will be 8.5 wide which is less than the City's typical parking space width requirement of 9'. While the City currently has no provision for "compact" parking spaces, it may be appropriate to consider in connection with this development. The parking lot is shown set back from Galante Lane 5' which would be problematic for snow storage. The plans show removing existing bump-out parking spaces along Galaxie Avenue. Given the fact that the first floor units have steps that lead out directly to Galaxie Avenue, staff would like to see the parking spaces remain to provide additional parking opportunities and traffic calming on Galaxie. The Galante building will have "suburban intensified" characteristics which include construction up to the right- of-way line of Galaxie Avenue, a flat roof, an outdoor rooftop terrace and elements that will encourage pedestrian traffic along Galaxie Avenue. Gabelia Building: The 198-unit Gabelia building is aligned in an east-west configuration between Gabella Street and 152n Street. Access to the site will be taken from the north from Gabelia Street. Access to the underground parking is taken directly from Gabella on the northwest side of the building and from the internal parking lot on the northeast side of the building. At 198 units on a 5.2-acre site, the development has a density of 38.1 units/acre. The Gabella building consists of two u-shaped buildings connected with a one-story community area with amenities that will include an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, internet cafe, club room/party room, yoga studio and game room. A vacation of a portion of Fontana Trail is currently being reviewed by the City Council in connection with this project. A 24" storm sewer line in Fontana Trail would need to be relocated and new D/U easements dedicated. A total 198 garage and 265 surface parking spaces are required; 202 garage and 259 surface parking spaces (233 parking lot and 26 on-street) are provided. Because the surface parking provided is six spaces short of the requirement, the City may wish to execute a proof-of-parking agreement that would require the installation of additional parking spaces on the east side of the site if it becomes necessary in the future. The Gabella building will have more suburban characteristics which will include being set back eighteen feet from 152 Street, a pitched roof, and direct vehicle access to the front door from a circular driveway feature. Grading Plan: The grading plan has been reviewed by the City Engineer, Colin Manson, and he notes that a significant volume of soil will need to be removed from the site. The site will also be tight for construction activities. As a result, Colin states that staging and hauling plans will be required for review by City staff prior to the work beginning. Elevation Drawings: The exterior of the Galante building appears to be primarily cementitious fiberboard (CFB) with a knee wall of decorative concrete block. The Gabelia building's exterior includes a knee wall of decorative concrete block, cementitious fiberboard, with brick. Planned Development No. 739 requires a minimum of 50% non-combustible, non-degradable and maintenance free construction material (such as face brick or stone) with the balance being a non-manufactured construction material such as cedar or redwood, or manufactured, non- combustible material such as high quality cementitious fiberboard. It appears that the Galante building would not currently meet the exterior building material requirement. In addition, the plans indicate that the CFB is to be painted, which would be contrary to the Zoning Code requirement that all building materials must be integrally colored. The developer should provide material samples and discuss the long-term upkeep and maintenance of the CFB being proposed and further evaluate the brick/stone treatment on the Galante building. Landscape Plan: The landscape plans include a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, shrubs and decorative grasses. The minimum value of the landscape plantings must be 2-1/2% of the value of the construction of the PD-739 requires screening of parking areas through walls or hedges from public streets which will need to be confirmed. In addition, the method for screening of the Gabella building from the commercial properties to the north will need to be reviewed in more detail. Jeff Kehrer, the City's Natural Resources Coordinator, reviewed the plans and provided a memo. Jeff points out that honeylocust on the west side of the Galante building will be too large for that planting site, so he recommends a smaller tree in that location. He notes that there are issues with the crabapple species that is shown. He requests that a different species that is resistant to apple scab be selected. He notes that the maple trees shown in the parking lot islands should be switched to a species that is more suitable for the extreme planting site. Lastly, he recommends additional shade tree species to increase species diversity. Availability of Municipal Utilities. Utilities have been installed and are available at the two building sites. Some utilities will need to be removed and a 24" storm sewer line in Fontana Trail will need to be relocated. Utilities are located along the north line of Block 3 which will require the dedication of additional drainage & utility easements. The Petitioner will need to work with the City Engineer to determine which services and utilities the City will need to relocate and remove through its public improvement project process. The City Engineer notes that the garage elevation of the Galante building will need to be raised because of the high water elevation of the downstream stormwater pond to a minimum elevation of 941.3 feet. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation. Galante building: • Galaxie Avenue -- Collector street. No changes to access proposed. • 153rd Street -- Collector street. No changes to access proposed. • Galante Lane -- Local street. One access point to the parking area and one access point to the underground garage proposed. • 152nd Street -- Local street. No changes to access proposed. Fortino Street -- Local street. Petitioner is requesting vacation of Fortino Street between Galaxie Avenue and Galante Lane which is currently being reviewed by the City Council. Gabelia building: • Foliage Avenue -- Collector street. The petitioner wishes to dedicate right-of-way for Gabelia Street which would provide a direct access from Gabella out to Foliage Avenue. This request is being reviewed by the Engineering/Public Works staff. • Gabelia Street -- Local street. Two driveway access points to the parking lot and one direct driveway access to the underground parking are shown. • 152nd Street -- Local street. The plans show a circular driveway in front of the building with four parking stalls that will provide access to the front office. • Galante Lane -- Local street. No change in access requested. Fontana Trail -- Local street. Petitioner is requesting vacation of Fontana Trail between Gabella Street and 152nd Street which is currently being reviewed by the City Council Pedestrian Access. At the Galante building site, clear pedestrian circulation is provided around the exterior of the site and through the parking lot to the main entrance. The Gabella building contains connections to perimeter walkways, but has fewer pedestrian walkways through the parking lot. Public Safety Issues: Crime Prevention Specialist Pam Walter provided a memo with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) recommendations. She requests that a lighting plan be provided to evaluate lighting levels in the development. The City's Fire Marshal, Roy Kingsley, provided a memo concerning Fire Code items that will be required. Recreation Issues: Construction of these buildings, especially the Gabella building, could have impacts on the users of Kelley Park. The timing of construction and construction staging should be done in a manner that 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: To be taken. Attachments: 1. Location 'Map 2. Area Map 3.

APPLE VALLEY POLICE Neighborhood Collaboration Officer Program Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) recommendations for Parkside Village — Gabella and Gallante Submitted by: Pam Walter, Crime Prevention Specialist, Apple Valley Police Department Exterior recommendations: 1. Provide adequate exterior display of address to allow emergency vehicles to easily locate the property. 2. Exterior doors should be secured with adequate access control (card access or keyed). Landscaping: l. Groundcover plants should not exceed a height of 2 feet at maturity and should be used within 6 feet of the edge of walkways. 2. Shrubs should not exceed a height of 3 feet and should be used within 6-12 feet from the edge of walkways. 3. Trees planted should be pruned up to a height of 6 feet above ground. Interior dwelling units: 1. Eye-viewer in all unit doors, 180 degrees of sight 2. Single cylinder deadbolt lock on all apartment doors, and a metal or solid wood door. 3. High security strike plates with a minimum of four 3-inch screws on all wooden door frames 4. Anti-lift/removal protective device on all windows and sliding doors on first and second floor units. S. Visible unit numbers on all interior doors. Underground Parking Structure: 1. Maintain uniform lighting (no more than 10:1 ratio) throughout the underground parking facility. Make sure the edge of parking stalls are well-lighted as well as the drive aisles (5 foot candles). Designated walkways should maintain a lighting level of 20 foot candles. 2. Provide adequate, secured access control to entrance of underground parking garage (garage door opener for residents, keyed entrance to service door with deadbolt lock and lock plate to prevent tampering/prying of door). 3. Install and maintain a high level of surveillance equipment covering all surface parking areas. 4. Surveillance cameras in all elevators. S. Paint interior walls a light color to enhance the lighting. In addition to the recommendations listed here, exterior property lighting will be an issue. 1 would like to be supplied with a lighting plan to be able to better assess this issue. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at 952-953-2706.

Galante Gabe lla 1 City of Apple Vaiey MEMO Public Works Department TO: Kathy Bodmer, Associate Planner FROM: Jeff Kehrer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: September 14, 2012 SUBJECT: PARKSIDE VILLAGE; GALANTE AND GABELLA LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW Following are my comments after reviewing the Parkside Village landscape plan: • The plan shows honeylocust along the west side of the building where only a 6' wide growing space exists. This is not enough room for large shade trees which will be 40-50' wide in the future. This area is suitable for only a few tree/shrub species that won't overgrow the space. • Spring snow and red baron crabapple are susceptible to apple scab, a common disease that causes premature leaf fall. There are numerous crabapple species that are resistant to apple scab and planting those species will provide a much more attractive landscape. • Shade trees planted along property lines should be kept within the property for future maintenance. Many are shown on the plan as outside or adjacent to the property line. • Parking lot islands are an extreme planting site and may be more suitable for honeylocust, hackberry, etc, than red maple. There will be an increased potential for sunscald and leaf scorch on maple in these locations. An additional shade tree species is recommended to increase species diversity. Suggestions include swamp white oak, hackberry, or linden. All trees planted along property lines should be kept within the property for future maintenance.

Sam Anderson 1 CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PROJECT SUMMARY HOLSTEN ACCESSORY BUILDING VARIANCE Agenda Item: 6A Case Number: PC12-37-V Staff Reviewer: Margaret Dykes Applicant: Milo Holsten Application Date: September 10, 2012 Meeting Date: September 19, 2012 Petition for: • Variance to increase the size of an accessory building from 750 sq. ft. to 1,008 sq. ft. Summary of Mr. Holsten resides at 8488-133 Street W., which has a lot area of 1.3 acres (56,628 sq. ft.) according to City Issues: and Dakota County information. The property is zoned "R-1", which is a large-lot, single-family zoning district. The maximum size of an accessory building in this zoning district is 750 sq. ft. Mr. Holsten would like to construct a 36' x 28' (1,008 sq. ft.) accessory building to be used as a garage. This is 258 sq. ft. larger than is permitted by the zoning code. The zoning code requires accessory buildings larger than 120 sq. ft. meet the same setbacks as the primary structure. In this case, the proposed accessory building must be set back 30' from the front property line. The applicant states the proposed building will meet the required front setback. The current impervious surface area for this lot is approximately 9,600 sq. ft. (17%). With the proposed accessory building, the impervious surface coverage will be 19%, which is well below the maximum 35%. The proposed garage will be no taller than 16' from grade, as required by Code, and clad in LP SmartSide siding consistent in color with the cedar shakes on the house. Definition of In order to grant a variance the City considers whether the applicant established that there are practical Practical difficulties in complying with the zoning code. Practical difficulties" as used in connection with the Difficulties granting of the variance is defined as: • The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning code; • The plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and • The variance if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality. Note: Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Staff Analysis The City Code has a maximum size for accessory buildings so that they do not exceed and overwhelm the primary use of the property. The footprint of the single-family house and attached garage, which is the primary use on the lot, is approximately 2,350 sq. ft. The house, constructed in 1971, is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath structure with a 2-stall tuck under garage measuring 22' x 22', which is slightly smaller than a more modern garage. The applicant states the current garage is used as temporary seasonal living space. Two cars can be parked in the garage, but the garage floor has been tiled and for practical purposes the area is not used as a garage or storage space. Expansion of the existing garage would require significant structural changes to the house. The applicant would like the additional 3-stall accessory detached garage to house the family's vehicles and ancillary equipment like lawnmowers and the like. A 3-stall garage is now considered a standard garage size. The lot has a significant number of trees that will help to screen and soften the garage from adjacent properties. Jeff Kehrer, the Natural Resources Coordinator, has been to the site and does not believe it will be necessary to mitigate for any trees removed to accommodate the proposed garage due to the large number of trees on the lot. Recommended It is staff's opinion that the smaller size of the existing garage and its current use as living space creates a Actions: practical difficulty for the applicant, and is, therefore, recommending approval of the variance. If the Commission determines a variance is appropriate, the following motion is recommended: • Recommend approval of a variance to increase the size of an accessory building from 750 sq. ft. to no larger than 1,008 sq. ft. (28'x36') amount for the property located at 8488-133 St. W. (Lot 4, Block 2, Chateau Estates) as shown on the plans received in City offices on September 10, 2012, subject to all applicable City codes and standards.

To: Apple Valley Planning Commission From: Mi|oHobten Date: 9/9/2012 Subject: Variance Request We are requesting a variance to build a stand-alone detached three stall garage at our residence located at 8488 133 St. West in Apple Valley, MN. The reason for our request is that we currently have a small two stall tuck under garage which is too small for our family and our three vehicles. Our lot size is approximately 1,3 acres which has plenty of room for a three stall garage which would be 28' X 36'. | have the attached the survey drawing which will show the proposed Iocation of the garage on the west side of our driveway. 1 also will add a drawing from Menards that will provide some details that you may require. I have had the AV city forester (I believe his name was Jeff) look at the location last year when we had him look at some trees and he said that with the amount of trees in our yard, we should have no tree issues with the garage location. 1 also verified with the building permit office that 1 do not have any easements on my property besides the normal drainage easement which would not be close to the proposed garage Iocation. I believe the contractor for the garage will be Craftsman Choice, Inc. but I have two contractors submitting their bids this week and if it is allowed, 1 would like to have the appropriate contractor Iisted on the building permit. The approximate cost of the garage will be $18 - $22K. |have also included pictures of the Iocation of the garage and an overall view of our front yard to show that the new garage will be fairly hidden by the trees. 1 believe we are one of the few homes in our Chateau Estate area that does not have at least a three stall garage and we would appreciate your approval of our request. 1 am hoping to have this garage built this fall, so please call if you have any questions inordertop[esent my variance request at the next council meeting. Thank you, Milo Holsten Cell phone 9SZ'48G-B977 CE ��� '�� ����� ~~ y ; ;;,, picture ,pic � I :.
