PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Kwik Trip Store Construction — Consideration of a proposed replat, amendments to conditional use permits and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for the construction of a 7,643 S.F. gas/convenience store and car wash bay. (PC12-30-SCB) (PC12- 34-C) LOCATION: 7510 — 145th Street West PETITIONER: Kwik Trip, Inc. Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 2 of 8 City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicant requested approval of a replat of two existing lots into one (1) lot, amendments to existing motor fuel sales, car wash operations and outdoor display conditional use permits; and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 5,764 sq. ft. convenience store, 1,879 car wash bay, 4,800 sq. ft. fuel canopy, and 23 surface parking spaces. The site is located at the northwest corner of 145th Street West and Cedar Avenue. The site is the current location of 12,400 sq. ft. multi-tenant retail building that includes the existing Kwik Trip convenience store and Big Apple Bagel restaurant, a 970 sq. ft. car wash bay, a 3,700 sq. ft. fuel canopy, and 61 surface parking spaces. The applicant proposed to replat two existing lots into one lot to allow for the new construction of the convenience store, car wash, and fuel canopy on one lot of record. The proposed plat identified all the required perimeter drainage and utility easements and restricted access easement along Cedar Avenue. No outstanding issues had been identified. The existing motor fuel sales, car wash, and outdoor display sales conditional use permits would need to be amended that would address their proposed operations. Access to the site would be via two 35-foot wide driveways off of 145th Street West. An existing driveway off of Glenda Drive would be removed with the new construction, and no access would be allowed from Cedar Avenue. Maximurn driveway width allowed by City code is 30 feet. Revisions shall be made to bring the driveways into conformance with City code. Revisions should be made to the grading, utility, and landscape plans per staff comments. A sidewalk should be installed along the north side of 145th Street West. Mr. Lovelace stated the applicant had identified building signage on their elevations but no formal sign application had been submitted. All building signage shall be in conformance with the City's sign regulations. Commissioner Diekmann questioned where the monument sign would be located. Mr. Lovelace answered it would be at the current location but there could be a reduction in the amount of signage allowed due to the size of the store. Commissioner Diekmann asked for clarification regarding the vending machine that would be located outside the store. Mr. Lovelace stated the petitioner requested a condition use permit for outdoor display that would include the vending machine. Commissioner Scanlan inquired if there was a sidewalk along Glenda Drive. Mr. Lovelace answered that there are not sidewalks on either side of Glenda Drive but staff believes there should be sidewalk connection from the bike path along Cedar Avenue. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 3 of 8 Commissioner Scanlan commented that there should be a sidewalk along Glenda Drive for the • residential area that would walk down to the store. Commissioner Burke asked if there was any change of the light from the canopy from the existing canopy to the new design and if it would shine into the neighborhood. Mr. Lovelace compared the canopy of the existing design to the new design where the canopy would be located farther to the east to keep it as far away as possible from the residential neighborhood to the northwest. Chair Melander inquired if the logo on the canopy would count as signage and if that is allowable. Mr. Lovelace answered yes it is allowed now in other motor fuel operations in the City. Chair Melander asked if the applicant was planning to use the old fuel tanks or put in new ones. Mr. Lovelace stated the old tanks would be removed and the applicant would need to meet the current requirements and coordinate with pollution control and other entities that deal with removal of underground tanks. Commissioner Diekmann asked for the east/west car wash layout design and where the queuing for the car wash happens. Mr. Lovelace answered queuing would go around the north end of the building and vehicles would turn south to enter the car wash on the west side and continue to the east. Commissioner Diekmann referred to previous discussion regarding the sidewalk on the north side along 145th Street W. and asked if there would be a sidewalk connection from 145th Street W. north directly to the store. Mr. Lovelace stated there would not be. Mr. Wade Dumont, Kwik Trip Inc., LaCrosse, Wisconsin, addressed questions previously asked by the Commissioners. He said the sidewalk along 145th Street W. would be a part of the plan. He stated the vending machine would be for video rentals, would be heavy enough not to move and they would like that to be permanent as well as the ice cases and LP tanks. He described two other display areas similar to end caps in the canopy area for woodchips, softener salt and firewood. He reviewed access concerns for driveways less than 35' wide and would address any grading plans, natural resources concerns and filtration issues with staff. Commissioner Wasserman asked for clarification of the route for the trucks dispensing fuel. Mr. Dumont identified the route of the delivery trucks and fuel tanker trucks. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 4 of 8 Chair Melander asked for assistance from the City Attorney on a precedence of a wider cut driveway. City Attorney Sharon Hills answered if City Code has it set for the maximum width then a driveway wider would require a variance. Mr. Lovelace read one public written comment from Harold Shudlick, 14195 Hayes Rd. stating that Kwik Trip had been a good neighbor and he was in support of their re-construction. Commissioner Diekmann inquired how the parking spaces related to the size of the building. Mr. Lovelace said there are 23 surface parking spaces and that met or exceeded the minimum required. Commissioner Wasserman asked for written background information on infiltration basin vs. filtration basin and what the City is looking for due to the nature of oil and gas spills. Mr. Lovelace stated the information would be made available for the next meeting. Commissioner Scanlan asked to revisit the conditional use permit request as to what was allowed including the end caps by the fuel pumps. Mr. Lovelace stated the ice chest and the propane tank storage would probably be allowed but some of the materials on the end caps raised some concern. Chair Melander commented on the vending machine that if the store was to be a 24-hour operation it may not be a hardship to put the box inside the store rather than have it as an outdoor display. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. B. Greater Midwest Fundraising IUP — Consideration of an interim use permit to allow for outdoor storage of passenger vehicles. (PC12-35-1) LOCATION: 7600 — 147th Street W. PETITIONER: Greater Midwest Fundraising Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:44 p.m. Associate Planner Margaret Dykes summarized the applicant's request for an Interim Use Permit for outdoor storage of up to four passenger vehicles in conjunction with an on-premise business. The property is zoned Retail Business which allows for retail and smaller office business uses. The subject business, Greater Midwest Fundraising (GMF), is considered a Retail Business. The zoning code does not list outdoor storage or overnight parking of vehicles as a permitted, accessory, or CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 5 of 8 conditional use. Limiting overnight parking and outdoor storage ensures parking lots remain uncluttered reducing nuisance characteristics. GMF submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit, but upon staffs review it was concluded that the outdoor storage or overnight parking of the vehicles was not a listed conditional use in a Retail Business district. The City Code specifically prohibits overnight parking of vehicles in commercial or industrial zones. GMF amended its request to an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to store/park its delivery vans on the subject property. The tenant and property owner had requested an (IUP) to allow for the outdoor storage of up to four passenger vehicles on site overnight; the vehicles would be delivery vans. The requested Interim Use Permit would expire October 31, 2013. GMF would provide packaged goods (primarily food products such as pizzas, steaks, and cookie dough, etc.) to non-profit entities for fundraising purposes. They make these products available for sale to customers in the subject building. The business provides delivery service of these products to their customers. The delivery of goods is a critical part of business for many retail operators. The vehicles would be parked on the south side of the building, which would help to screen the vehicles from vehicles on 147th Street W. Staff has no issues with the storage of vehicles on the site due to the limited number of parking spaces required by the users of the building. Commissioner Diekmann asked for clarification that the applicant asked for a one-year IUP and inquired what they would do after that. Ms. Dykes answered yes the request was for one year and said after the one year the applicant would ask the City to determine if it was appropriate to amend the City Code as a permanent accessory use or a conditional use. Commissioner Alwin commented that he feels this is already happening in other areas of the City. Commissioner Diekmann asked if all the Retail Business areas currently do not allow for overnight parking of vehicles. Ms. Dykes said yes and if the code was amended it would apply to all the City businesses in the Retail Business zone. Commissioner Alwin inquired if the code was amended then the overnight parking could be anywhere on the parking surface and it just happens that this petitioner plans to park behind the building. Ms. Dykes said that is correct and if the ordinance was amended it could be written in such a way that overnight storage of vehicles could only be behind the building and not adjacent or facing any public streets. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 6 of 8 Commissioner Scanlan stated that the request is for two to four vehicles and looking into the future if they cut back to two vehicles could they still add more vehicles later. Ms. Dykes answered the permit runs with the property and it would allow the applicant to store up to four vehicles. There would be no other spaces allocated for overnight storage. Commissioner Wasserman inquired where vehicles are supposed to be stored and where businesses are storing vehicles at this time since they cannot park outside on their property overnight. Ms. Dykes said businesses are not supposed to be storing any vehicles outside. They could store them inside the building in a garage space. Currently there are businesses that park outside overnight and it is a concern. Tim Shields, Greater Midwest Fundraising, stated they are thrilled to be in the site. It is a convenience factor to know that on the south side of the building they can store their delivery vans. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:56 p.m. and stated it is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on an item the same night as its hearing but felt they could make an exception this evening. MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of an Interim Use Permit for outdoor storage of up to four (4) vehicles at 7600 — 147th Street W. to allow Greater Midwest Fundraising to park delivery vans overnight as shown on the plans received in City offices on September 5, 2012, subject to all applicable City Codes and standards, and the following condition: a. The Interim Use Permit shall expire on October 31, 2013. b. The passenger vehicles shall be parked or stored on the south side of the building as shown on the plans. c. No equipment, products, materials or non-passenger vehicles shall be stored outdoors anywhere on the site. Ayes - 6 - Nays 0. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. Morningview Condominiums Parking Variance — Consideration of a variance to reduce the minimum required parking and allow the removal of an 18-space parking lot adjacent to Cedar Avenue. (PC12-33-V) LOCATION: 7600-32 — 157th Street West PETITIONER: Morningview Condominiums Homeowners Association Associate Planner Kathy Bodmer reviewed Morningview Condominium Association's request for a variance from the required number of surface parking spaces that must be provided in order to remove an 18-space parking lot along 157th Street. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 7 of 8 The Morningview Condominiums is a 3-building condominium development with a total of 90 units located on the northwest corner of Cedar Avenue and 157th Street West. The Morningview Condominium Association requests a variance which would allow them to remove an unused 18- space parking lot adjacent to Cedar Avenue. Rather than continue to maintain the unused lot, the Association wishes to remove it and replace it with landscaping. The Association received a variance on April 22, 1982, which allowed them to reduce the number of parking spaces that needed to be installed by 45 spaces. Removing the 18-space parking lot would require a modification to the existing variance to remove 4 additional parking spaces, or a total of 49 parking spaces. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of the variance, is defined as: The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of the 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. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. When the development was approved in 1982, it was recognized that the Morningview Condominium development would have a lower parking demand than other similar developments. The variance in 1982 allowed the development to reduce the number of required parking spaces by 45. Allowing the Association to remove the 14-space parking lot would require a variance for 4 more parking stalls, or a reduction in the required number of parking spaces to 49. To staffs knowledge, there has never been an issue with parking at the Morningview Condominiums since they were constructed nearly 30 years ago. Commissioner Diekmann asked if the variance was granted could this be stipulated as proof-of- parkina with the intent that in the future it could be turned back into parking. Ms. Bodmer stated yes that could be one of the conditions. MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of a variance for the Morningview Condominium to reduce the required number of surface parking spaces from 135 to 80 spaces with the following conditions and conditioned upon execution of a proof-of-parking agreement. 1. The Morningview Condominium development was granted a variance in 1982 which allowed them to provide 1.0 surface space per unit, a reduction of 0.5 spaces per unit or 45 parking spaces. 2. Currently there are 194 total parking spaces provided on the site, 14 spaces over the 180 minimum required after the variance approval in 1982. 3. Seventy percent (70%) of the units are 1-bedroom or studio units, so parking demand is expected to remain low. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes October 3, 2012 Page 8 of 8 8. ADJOURNMENT 4. The Morningview Condominium development is located less than 1/4 mile from the Apple Valley Transit Station (AVTS). 5. The removal of the 18-space parking lot will decrease the amount of impervious surface area and increase opportunities for infiltration. 6. The variance reducing the required spaces by 49 is four spaces more than the existing variance granted in 1982. Ayes - 6 - Nays - O. 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. Review of upcoming schedule and other updates. Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist stated that the next Planning Commission meeting would take place Wednesday, October 17, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Nordquist informed the Commission that on October 23, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. there would be a Kick-Off event of the Apple Valley Business Campus and for them to notify staff if they plan to attend. Hearing no further comments from the Planning Staff or Planning Commission, Chair Melander asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Commissioner Alwin moved, seconded by Commissioner Scanlan to adjourn the meeting at 8:07 p.m. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. Res ectfully Submitted, Jo?i Murphy, PlanningOepart jnt Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on Agenda MAJESTIC COVE SIGN VARIANCE 4A Applicant: tephen E. Haight, Owner Case Ilumicter: PC12-36-V Staff Reviewer: Kathy Bodi Api)I cat ori Date: October 9, 2012 e: Meeting Da October 17, 2012 Petition for: Stephen E. Haight, owner of Majestic Cove apartments, requests a 10.7' variance from the 13' minimum sign setback requirement to allow him to replace an existing wooden ground sign with an aluminum sign in the same location as the existing sign. The variance would allow him to locate the new sign 2.3' from the newly established right-of-way line of Cedar Avenue. The sign is located on the northwest corner of the Majestic Cove site at 7472 — 157 Street, on the southeast corner of Cedar Avenue and 157t1 W. Summary of In connection with the Cedar Avenue reconstruction project, Dakota County obtained Issues: additional highway easement on the northwest corner of the Majestic Cove site. In 2009, the Zoning Ordinance was amended so that buildings and signs which are installed in compliance with setback regulations continue to comply with setback requirements if a right-of-way line is moved in the future. In this case, because the property owner wishes to replace the existing sign, the new sign must meet the setback requirement from the new right-of-way line. As a result, the owner requests a variance which would allow him to replace the sign in its current location, in a landscaped area framed with a decorative block wall. The height (7.7'), area (43 square feet) and the location of the new sign would all be the same as the existing sign. The owner wishes to simply replace the existing wooden sign with an updated aluminum sign. As a result, the sign variance will confer no special privileges to this property. The City Sign Code states the following conditions must be met in order to obtain a variance: 1. Special conditions exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; 2. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; 3. A literal interpretation of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district and the terms of these sign regulations; 4. That granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant any special privilege for a use not common to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; and 5. The proposed use of the property shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent properties and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. Recommended Staff reviews variance applications based strictly upon the requirements of the State Actions: Statutes and the City Code that require certain conditions be met in order for a sign variance to be granted, and that logical alternatives are not available to the applicant. Staff, therefore, recommends that the 10.7' sign setback variance from the 13' setback requirement for the Majestic Cove sign at 7472-157 Street West be approved, allowing the sign to be located 2.3' from the newly established right-of-way line of Cedar Avenue, based upon the following findings: 1. The property owner wishes to replace an existing sign with a new sign in the same location. 2. The petitioner will not expand the size nor increase the height of the sign. 3. There will be no negative impacts on neighboring properties resulting from this variance. 4. The variance is needed based upon actions taken by Dakota County in connection with the Cedar Avenue reconstruction project and is not a result of actions taken by the property owner. Conditions: 1. The variance is approved for the sign in the location as of the date of the variance approval and as depicted on the Dakota County Highway Department drawing received in City Offices on August 29, 2012; 2. The applicant/owner shall file and record the City Council Resolution granting the variance against the property at the Dakota County Recorder's Office. 2 From: Sass, John [mailto:John.Sass@CO.DAKOTA.MN.US] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 12:40 PM To: Bodmer, Kathy Subject: Majestic Cove Limited Partnership East Side of Cedar Avenue, South of 157th Street Kathy Bodmer, The sign in the northwest corner of the subject will not be disturbed as a result of the project. Attached are two old pictures. Looks like the existing wall is was in existing right of way. Also attached are the two parcel sketches that show acquired right of way. While the sign is located partially within the proposed temporary easement area, it will not be disturbed. No other improvements were noted within the proposed acquisition areas on the inspection of the property. It appears that the proposed easements will not affect the subject's conformity with the Apple Valley zoning ordinance. 3.9 feet from the SW corner of the sign and 2.3 feet from the SE corner of the new 10' right of way Thanks, John • John Sass Transportation Project Manager Dakota County Transportation Department 14955 Galaxie Avenue, 3 Floor Apple Valley, MN 55124 Telephone 952.891.7130 AfigniggiglisfigiogINEININNIMIES.timiggegglai.atlItt$11:11111Ingt, O x.. q& � s�E v•. w<% w: zx ,.;.zr�xrk'xaa. ='te'�.wate �`.5�n.sR:'��.a.�¢c..� ,•.s. p „bk�,n�a:�4rw-.c,�:. a%�r.Yz 4. 5..". 4, t4Y'�PS'F9•- • ININSISSIONIE tO (i") tID • - (I) • X uJ • t) • ,ff 431 Agenda Item: 6A CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PROJECT SUMMARY PARKSIDE VILLAGE Applicant: Case Number: PC12-31-ZSBG Staff Reviewer: Kathy Bodrrier Application Date: Meeting Date: October 17, 2012 Special Asse t NT 1 7 5 - AvN, LLC and Titan Development 1, LLC August 22, 2012 Petition for: The property owner, IMH Special Asset NT 176-AVN, LLC and the developer, Titan Development, wish to develop two multiple family buildings with a total of 322 units in the Parkside Village, located on the northeast corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153` Street. In order to do that, they are requesting consideration of the following actions: • Amendments to PD-739 Zoning District (Central Village) Preliminary Plat Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization Summary of Introduction: The Planning Commission held the public for this item at its September 19, 2012, Issues: meeting. The revised plans indicate that the number of units has been reduced from 332 units down to 322 units, a reduction of 10 units. The Galante building has been reduced from 134 to 126 units while the Gabella building has been reduced from 198 to 196 units. The units were reconfigured and some of the smaller units were made larger, but no changes were made to the footprint of the buildings. The Galante building is located between Galaxie Avenue and Galante Lane and will have "suburban intensified" characteristics which include reduced setbacks from Galaxie Avenue, a flat roof, an outdoor rooftop terrace and elements that will encourage pedestrian traffic along Galaxie Avenue. The 196-unit Gabella building, located between Gabella and 152nd Streets, will have more suburban characteristics which will include being set back 18' 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 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to Zone 1 to allow multiple family-only buildings. 2. Rezone all of Block 1 to Zone 2. 3. Remove Zone 1A and allow "assisted care facility" as a permitted use in Zone 1. 4. Amend Zone 2 to remove requirement that mixed-use development must include residential. 5. Allow commercial buildings in a single story building with a two-story facade. Staff recommends that new subzones be created to ensure the Founders Circle development on the west side of Galaxie Avenue is not impacted by the requested text amendments. Site Plan Issues: 1. Galante Building: The Galante Building is a 4-story 126-unit multiple family building located on the northeast corner of 153r Street and Galaxie Avenue. The number of units was reduced by eight from 134 units to 126. At 126 units, the site has a density of 42.9 units/acre. During the review of the request to vacate the drainage and utility easements in order to create the buildable lot, Center Point Energy informed the City that it has a gas main located along Galaxie Avenue and 153 Street which requires a minimum ten foot (10') drainage and utility easement. As a result, the building had to be shifted east to ensure it is out of the easement area. The setback of the surface parking lot from the Galante Lane right-of-way was increased from five feet (5') to ten feet (10') to allow for additional landscaping. Shifting the building to the east to accommodate the natural gas main while simultaneously increasing the parking lot setback from Galante Lane has resulted in a smaller surface parking lot on the east side of the Galante building. The petitioner is showing a reduction in the depth of the head-to-head parking stalls in the center of the site from 20' deep as required by the Zoning Ordinance down to 18.5' deep per stall. This means in the head-to-head configuration, the stalls will be reduced from 40' to 37', requiring a variance of three feet (3'). A quick survey was done of neighboring community parking standards which found Apple Valley requires a longer stall depth than other communities. The City could allow for a reduced parking stall depth as part of the PD zoning district. The number of surface and garage spaces meets the code requirements. However, the plans indicate that eight of the underground parking spaces will be 8.5 wide; the City requires a minimum of 9'. The City Code has no provision for "compact" parking spaces at this time. However, the PD ordinance could allow for some "compact" parking spaces in connection with this project. The City Engineer raised a concern about the elevation of underground garage in relation to the elevation of the stormwater pond. The petitioner proposes to disconnect the trench drain and to use a pump to address the potential flooding issue. The City Engineer has indicated that he is amenable to this solution and is working with the petitioner to finalize the design. 2. Gabella Building: The 196-unit Gabella building is aligned in an east-west configuration between Gabella and 152 Streets, At 196 units on a 5.2-acre site, the development has a density of 37.7 units/acre. A vacation of Fontana Trail from Gabella Street to 152 Street 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 be located within the new right-a- way of the extended Gabella Street. Elevation Drawings: The exterior of the two buildings will be constructed with a combination of brick, cultured stone, and cementitious fiberboard (CFB). 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. An industry representative submitted a letter stating that the primer is factory applied, but because of potential nicks in the field and concern about matching "touch-up" paint, factory pre-finishers recommend at least one coat of field applied paint. The cost of requiring factory finishing of the product does not seem reasonable in light of the fact that the siding will likely require at least one coat of paint after it is installed. Landscape Plan: The City's Natural Resources Coordinator, Jeff Kehrer, remains concerned about the choice of honeylocust in the area between the Galante building and the Galaxie Avenue sidewalk. He is concerned that the crown of the tree will be too large and scrape against the building at maturity. Mr. Kehrer recommends that the petitioner select a different tree species, like a columnar maple, or another tree species that is sized to fit within the limited space available between the Galante building and Galaxie Avenue. Recommended Staff finds that the project substantially complies with the requirements of the zoning and Actions: subdivision code requirements and the planned development zoning district. As a result, staff is recommending approval of the project with conditions as noted below. If the Planning Commission concurs, staff recommends the following motions: 1. Recommend approval of amendments to PD-739 (Central Village) as followings: a.

Key 9 of the Comprehensive Plan states 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 subject 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 of providing a range of different housing styles to provide more "life-cycle" housing within the community. Zonin;2:: 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 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to Zone 1 to allow multiple family-only buildings. The petitioner has determined that the market will not support mixed-use buildings at this time. They propose to provide mixed- use in a horizontal rather than vertical configuration by maintaining Lot 1, Block 1, for a commercial use to serve the Parkside Village neighborhood. 2. Rezone all of Block 1 to Zone 2. The east side of Block 1 is currently within Zone 1, so the rezoning will make all of Block 1 within Zone 2. 3. Remove Zone lA and allow "assisted care facility" as a permitted use in Zone 1. The petitioner supports restricting the assisted care or continuum of care buildings to the parcels along 153' Street flanking Fresco Terrace (Blocks 9 and 10). 4. Amend Zone 2 to remove requirement that mixed-use development must include residential. Currently, Zone 2 requires vertical mixed use buildings with residential and retail and/or office uses. It was expected that the buildings within Zone 2 would have retail on the first floor with office and residential on the upper stories. 5, Allow commercial buildings 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. Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat shows the following: • Blocks 7 and 8 are combined along with a vacated portion of Fortino Street to create Lot 1, Block 2, Parkside Village for the Galante building. Blocks 2 and 3 are combined with a vacated portion of Fontana Trail to create Lot 1, Block 1, Parkside Village for the Gabella building. • Right-of-way is dedicated on the northeast corner of the site to extend Gabella Street out to Foliage Avenue. 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. During the review vacate request, Center Point Energy informed the City that the ten foot (10') drainage and utility easement along Galaxie Avenue and 153 Street needed to be maintained because they have a gas main in those easement locations. A condition of approval of the preliminary plat will include a requirement that a minimum 10' wide drainage and utility easement be dedicated adjacent to Galaxie Avenue and 153r Street. Site Plan: Galante Building: The Galante Building is a 4-story 126-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 126 units, the 2.94-acre site has a density of 42.9 units/acre. Center Point Energy has a gas main along Galaxie Avenue which will require a minimum 10' d/u easement along the east and south property lines. As a result, the petitioner had to move the Galante building to the east to ensure it is out of the easement area. 5 The setback of the surface parking lot from the Galante Lane right-of-way was increased from five feet (5') to ten feet (10') to allow for additional landscaping. Shifting the building to the east to accommodate the natural gas main while simultaneously increasing the parking lot setback from Galante Lane has resulted in a reduced area available for the surface parking lot on the east side of the Galante building. The petitioner is showing a reduction in the depth of the head-to-head parking stalls in the center of the site from 20' deep as required by the Zoning Ordinance down to 18.5' deep per stall. This means in the head-to-head configuration, the stalls will be reduced from 40' to 37', requiring a variance of three feet (3'). A quick survey was done of neighboring community parking standards: Apple Valley Parkside Village Galante Building Edina Savage Burnsville St. Louis Park Eagan Richfield Minnetonka Chanhassen Plymouth Lakeville Woodbury Eden Prairie Stall Width 9' 9' 8.5' 9' 9' 8.5' 10' 9' 8.5' 9' 9' 9' 9' 9' Stall Length 20' 18.5' 18' 18' 18' 18' 19' 18.5' 18' 18' 18.5' 20' 20' 23' Drive Aisle 24' 24' 24' 24' 24' 25' 24' 24' 26' 26' 26' 24' 25' 24' 2 Parking Stalls + Aisle 64' 61' 60' 60' 60' 61' 62' 62' 62' 62' 63' 64' 65' 70' It is interesting to note that several communities use a shorter parking stall depth than Apple Valley. When calculating the length of two stalls plus an aisle, Apple Valley's parking stall requirements are somewhat longer than the average. A total of 126 garage and 125 surface parking spaces are required; 135 garage spaces and 157 surface spaces (117 parking lot, 32 on-street and 8 proof-of-parking spaces) are provided on the Galante site. The number of parking spaces meets the code requirements. The plans indicate that eight (or 6%) of the underground garage parking spaces will be 8.5' wide which is less than the City's typical parking space width requirement of 90". While the City currently has no provision for "compact" parking spaces for either surface parking or garage parking, given the demographic that the building is likely to serve, it may be appropriate to consider them in connection with this development. The following are some examples of compact parking spaces from other communities: • Edina: allows 8'6" parking stalls for their standard parking stall width. They allow a 7'6" "compact" parking space in specific planned development and medical zoning districts up to a maximum of 20% of the required parking spaces. • Richfield: up to 20% of the required parking spaces in parking lots of over 20 spaces may be compact parking spaces. Compact spaces must be a minimum of 8'0" wide, properly signed, and are not permitted for high turnover uses like fast food restaurants. Minneapolis and St. Paul: both allow 8' wide compact parking stalls. In Minneapolis, up to 25% of the required stalls may be compact and in St. Paul up to 50% of the stalls may be compact. The PD zoning district could allow for "compact" parking spaces which would be consistent with a suburban- intensified development. 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. 6 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 into consideration from this site to Kelley Park in their building design and placement on the lot based on discussions with the City. 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 196-unit Gabella building is aligned in an east-west configuration between Gabelia Street and 152n Street. Access to the site will be taken from the north from Gabella Street. Access to the underground parking garage 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 196 units on a 5.2-acre site, the development has a density of 37.7 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. The Gabelia building will have more suburban characteristics which will include being set back eighteen feet (18') from 152 Street, a pitched roof, and direct vehicle access to the front door from a circular driveway feature. A total 196 garage and 262 surface parking spaces are required; 202 garage and 269 surface parking spaces (233 parking lot and 36 on-street) are provided. The design of the surface and underground garage stalls all meet City Code requirements. Gradin2 Plan: The grading plan has been reviewed by the City Engineer, Colin Manson, and he notes that the elevation of the floor of the underground parking garage in the Galante building is lower that the high water elevation of the stormwater pond into which it drains, which raises a concern about potential flooding. Mr. Manson is working with the petitioner's engineer on a solution which includes disconnecting the trench drain from the storm sewer system and then installing a pump which would pump the trench drain into a catch basin which will then drain into the storm sewer system. The City Engineer 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, Mr. Manson states that staging and hauling plans will be required for review by City staff prior to any land disturbing activity under the Natural Resources Management Permit (NRMP). Elevation Drawin2s; The exterior building materials of the Galante and Gabelia buildings include a combination of brick, cultured stone, cementitious fiberboard (CFB) and a knee wall of decorative concrete block. 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). 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. However, CFB that is pre-finished is often nicked during installation which requires painting over the material in the field: A letter was prepared by Nichiha Fiber Cement regarding the issue of field painting. They state that primer is factory applied, but because of potential nicks in the field and concern about matching "touch-up" paint, factory pre -finishers recommend at least one coat of field applied paint. The cost of requiring factory finishing of the product does not seem reasonable in light of the fact that the siding will likely require at least one coat of paint after it is installed. 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 meet or exceed 2-1/2% of the value of the construction of the building. In the case of the Central Village, the landscape budget can include landscape plantings (trees, shrubs, flowers, decorative grasses), decorative pavers, irrigation, benches, flower beds and public 7 art. Hardscape materials like edging, rock, landscape fabric and grass or sod do not count toward the 2-1/2% requirements. 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 states that even though the petitioners have stated that the honeylocust will not grow to be too large because of the constrained conditions, Mr. Kehrer remains concerned that the crown of the honeylocust will grow into the building. All of the other issues identified in Mr. Kehrer's previous memo were addressed. 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 be covered with the extension of Gabella Street out to Foliage Avenue. 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. 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. Gabella • Foliage Avenue -- Collector street. The petitioner wishes to dedicate right-of-way for Gabella Street which would provide a direct access from Gabella out to Foliage Avenue. This request is being reviewed by the Engineering/Public Works staff. Gabella Street -- Local street. Two driveway access points to the parking lot and one direct driveway access to the underground parking are shown. The petitioner proposes to extend Gabelia Street to the east so that it intersects with Foliage Avenue. • 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. A lighting plan will be submitted at the time of application of the building permit. 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 Gabelia building, could have impacts on the users of Kelley Park. The timing of construction and construction staging should be done in a manner that minimizes impacts to the popular park. In connection with this development project, the City will be exploring the expansion of Kelley Park. This will be discussed in more detail as the project progresses. 8 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 public hearing for the Parkside Village was held on September 19, 2012. The following are the issues/questions that were raised. 1. Earlier plans had shown the Gallante building designed with a transparent middle which would provide view corridors from Galaxie Avenue to Kelley Park. Staff Response: Early sketch plans showed the one-story community section of the building to be transparent to allow views from Galaxie Avenue into Kelley Park. As the plans have been refined, the floor plans have changed so that there is no longer a transparent view through the building. A fitness room will be located on the west side of the community area with windows which will provide a street-level view into the building. However, an enclosed club/party room was created behind the fitness area on the east side of the building which opens up onto an outdoor patio area and looks onto Kelley Park. Because the club/party room has a wall that separates it from the fitness area, the middle portion of the building is no longer transparent to Kelley Park. To address the issue of maintaining sight lines to Kelley Park, the petitioner modified the design of the building by shortening the north and south wings of the buildings along 152 Street and 153 Street. The sight line drawings indicate that a view corridor will be maintained at the intersections of Galaxie/153 Street and Galaxie/152 Street to Kelley Park. 2. A question was raised about whether Blocks 9 and 10 should be rezoned at this time to Zone 1 which would allow residential only uses. Currently Block 9 and a portion of Block 10 are located in Zone 2 which requires mixed uses including retail/commercial on the first floor and either office or residential on the upper stories. Staff response: The original approved Master Plan for Legacy North envisioned two 2-story office/commercial buildings flanking Fresco Terrace with a total of 76,000 sq. ft. of floor area. Various recent market studies confirm that office space is not in demand, so the developer wishes to rezone the parcels for residential uses. The developer envisions a mixed-use development that includes residential and commercial development in a horizontal rather than vertical configuration. 3. A question was raised about whether the parcels adjacent to Kelley Park, which the City expects to obtain in order to expand Kelley Park, have been rezoned. Staff response: No, the parcels adjacent to Kelley Park have not yet been rezoned. The City will wait to rezone the property after the additional parcels are obtained. 4. A concern was raised concerning the reduction of opportunities for mixed-use, retail and commercial in this project. A question was raised as to whether shops could be constructed in the Galante building at the corners of 152 Street and 153 Street and Galaxie Avenue. Lastly, a comment was made that the City should make sure that the development stays mixed-use and walkable. Staff response: The petitioner has determined that the market currently does not support the previous plan for the area. While there isn't a market for mixed-use buildings at this time, the petitioner agrees with the mixed-use concept and plans to develop Lot 1, Block 1, for commercial uses. So, the developer will create a horizontal rather than vertical mixed use development. The Parkside Village development continues to support the City's goal of creating a mixed-use and walkable neighborhood. • A question was raised whether the City had done a traffic study in connection with this project. How will the vacated streets impact traffic levels? Traffic levels and safety are a concern, especially with the popularity of Kelley Park and Music in the Park series. 9 Staff response: A traffic study was conducted in 2003 in connection with the preparation of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for Legacy Village North. Findings of the study were used to help determine the design of the intersections, turn lanes and center medians on Galaxie Avenue and Foliage Avenue. The 2003 report estimated a total of 8,972 daily trips would be generated by this development. It should be noted that the EAW assumed 304,425 sq. ft. of commercial area and 280 residential units would be constructed. These assumptions are different from the Legacy North master plan that was approved in 2004 which called for 221,840 sq. ft. of commercial area and 506 residential units. The Parkside Village project substantially reduces the square footage of commercial area to approximately 22,000 sq. ft., while the number of housing units is consistent with the number of units approved in the Master Plan. Land Use Office Retail Subtotal Apartments Townhouses/Condos Subtotal 2003 Legacy Village North Plan (Used in EAW) 198,925 sq. ft. 105,500 sq. ft. 304,425 sq. ft. 120 units 160 units 280 units 2004 Approved Master Plan Legacy Village North 157,040 sq. ft. 64,800 sq. ft. 221,840 sq. ft. 410 units 96 units 506 units 2012 Parkside Village Master Plan - 0- 22000 sq. ft. 22,000 sq. ft. 492 units - 0- 492 units The City Engineer has reviewed the Traffic Report and determined no further traffic analysis is needed. In general, commercial and retail development have higher traffic demand than residential uses. As a result, reducing the amount of commercial development on the site while increasing the number of residential units is expected to result in lower traffic levels than initially anticipated. 6. City should investigate making 153 Street east of Galaxie Avenue a 2-way street. Staff response: The City Council approved the separation of 153 Street into a 1-way coupler system when it approved the Central Village Plan in 2002. 153 Street was split into two 1-way segments from Garrett Avenue east to Foliage Avenue to provide a walkable environment for the Central Village. By splitting 153r Street, pedestrians and cyclists only need to cross one or two lanes of traffic rather than four or five which is typically found in commercial areas of the City. The street configuration was intended to help create a mixed-use, vibrant and livable pedestrian-oriented environment which would complement the City's existing downtown. The City Engineers have stated that the location of the intersections are fixed and cannot be re-aligned without significant cost and disruption to the existing properties. 7. Will residents have access to both the Galante and Gabella buildings? Concern about foot traffic and car traffic between the two buildings. Staff response: The petitioner states that, yes, residents of both buildings will have access to common areas in both buildings. The common area to the Gabella building will have security access at its east and west wings providing a secure residential environment for those residents that live there. The Galante residents will have a fob that activates the front door, pool and fitness areas. Club room and theater will be by reservation only. Although a resident raised a concern that residents of one building using the facilities in the other building are likely to drive between buildings, staff believes that walking will be more convenient, and therefore, traffic between the buildings is not expected to be an issue. 8. Will the roof deck on the Galante building provide a connection to both floors? 10 Staff response: The petitioner states that, yes, Galante residents will use fobs to access the roof deck on second floor from either wing (north & south). However, residents will be unable to enter the wing that they do not live in. Gabella residents will have restricted access to the roof deck only by use of security keys. 9. How affordable will the project be? The City should make sure it isn't too high end. Staff response: The Parkside Village development is a market rate multiple-family development, with a range of floor plans and unit sizes to provide a range of rental rates. The petitioner has applied for tax increment financing ( TIF ). The use of that financing tool in a market rate rental development requires that 20 percent, or about 65 of the 322 units in the two buildings, must be affordable to persons with incomes at or below $41,950. The average per capita income for Apple Valley, a primarily service and retail economy, is $35,814, while the average household income is $78,571. 10. Concern about development along Foliage Avenue and potential impacts on residents to the east. Staff response: The east side of the Gabella site will contain a green open space area, so impacts to the residential areas southeast of Foliage Avenue and 153 Street are expected to be minimal. When Block 10 is developed in the future at Foliage Avenue and 153r Street, impacts to the residential areas to the east will need to be evaluated. Attachments: e. Utilities Plan 1. Location Map f.

Apple Valley,MN 55124 Reference: Parkside Village Galante Dear Kathy, The following is from: Colin Manson, City Engineer City of Apple Valley September 13, 2012 Tel: 612.879.6000 nd Gabella Apartment submission. We continue to develop a very good architectural and engineering product that will be an asset for future and current residents of Apple Valley. This letter incorporates our entire consultant/owner team's progress on previously mentioned items that have come up in the process via city planning report. We are attaching revised Civil and Landscape plans that incorporate all of your comments to date. Our comments are in red. I will also note that we have continued to work on our interior unit plans and in the process we have maintained the high degree of architectural design and detail to the exterior, but we have combined some small units to now offer the public 322 apartments as opposed 332. We had 134 units at Galante and we now have 126. Rather than a 198 unit Gabella, we now have 196. The amount of parking has not changed which we see as an asset. We now have a greater ratio of underground parking to apartment units than required by PD-739. Comments from CenterPoint Energy Legal Description We will continue to work with CenterPoint Energy to legally describe their gas utility easements and record them with the county at Final Plat approval. We moved the Galaxie building 1'-0" east to get the edge of our footing away from the easement. Continued Coordination with CenterPoint Energy There are valves that occur well inside the 10'easement and these only occur at the Southwest corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street West. We are coordinating with CenterPoint Energy, the surveyor, and Gopher State One Call to locate and create easements for these appurtenances. Items in the setback The 1" floor walk-up apartments along Galaxie Avenue will have balconies that overhang the utility easement by l'-0". Anchored to this overhanging balcony is a steel stair. This stair will rest on the concrete sidewalk below but will not have any footings. The stair can be removed with a wrench if any utility would need access to their underground lines. See Galante sheet L-1 for an enlarged plan detail. Gabella Grading/Storm Sewer 1. Given the proposed vacation of Fontana Avenue, storm sewer running through Fontana Avenue shall be relocated.

The garages will use a clean light gray CMU and Concrete flooring. The Electrical engineer is designing adequate lighting at drive and parking bays to eliminate shadows. In addition: A point by point lighting plan is in process that will meet the city of Apple Valley's exterior requirements www.kaaswitson.com Apple Valley Fire Memo All issues within the memo will be followed. The following is from: Jeff Kehrer, Apple Valley, Natural Resource Coordinator September 14, 2012 Tel: 612.879.6000 1. 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. The street frontage along Galaxie Avenue is a busy urban zone. It currently only offers two shade trees as a buffer for the future residents. We feel that the honeylocust species is a good fit for the site because it handles urban conditions well and its smaller leaves will filter light while still acting as a buffer. The honeylocust will not grow beyond the allowable site conditions so its projected canopy would only extend 20-25' wide. With this in mind, we have not revised the species at this time. 2. 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. Plant species revised, Sheet L-1 3. 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. Revised locations, Sheet L-1 4. 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. Plant species revised, Sheet L-1 5. An additional shade tree species is recommended to increase species diversity. Suggestions include swamp white oak, hackberry, or linden. Plant species added, Sheet L-1 Gabella 1.

Gabella Grading/Storm Sewer The storm sewer easement over the relocated line shall be 30 feet wide. The west edge of the easement shall be behind the eastern parking lot curb line. The storm sewer shall be centered in the easement. Additionally, the storm sewer may be designed to flow directly north and tie into the existing storm line rather than jog to the west as shown. All other previous comments have been acknowledged. Sanitary Sewer - Previous comments have been acknowledged. Water - Previous comments have been acknowledged. General - Previous comments have been acknowledged. Galante Grading/Storm Sewer MEMO Public Works The downstream storm water pond (WVR-P44) has a high water level of 940.3 feet. The garage floor elevation shall have a minimum of one foot of freeboard and therefore shall be raised to a minimum elevation of 941.3 feet. As an alternative, the garage entrance trench drain may be pumped to an onsite storm sewer structure. The discharge elevation of the pump's discharge line shall have a minimum elevation of 943 and the pump shall incorporate a check valve. This will likely require a minor relocation of the receiving structure to the east side of the proposed retaining wall to provide the necessary cover. Insulation of the discharge line to prevent freezing may also be required. - Grading of the area south of the garage entrance driveway shall be analyzed to minimize runoff to the trench drain area. - All storm sewer leads installed within the right of way or public easement shall be reinforced concrete pipe. Currently roof leaders are shown to be PVC. All other previous comments have been acknowledged. Sanitary Sewer - Previous comments have been acknowledged.

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: l. Provide adequate exterior display of address to allow emergency vehicles to easily locate the property. Z. Exterior doors should be secured with adequate access control (card access or keyed). Landscaping: l. Groundcover plant 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: l. Eye'viewerinaUunitdoors,l8Odegreesofsight 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. 5. 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. 5. Paint interior walls a light color to enhance the lighting. In addition to the recommendations listed here, exterior property lighting will be an issue. | 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.

I do not agree there is ample space for honeylocust trees along Galaxie Avenue at Galante. These trees will be a minimum of 25 feet wide and realistically closer to 35-40 feet wide at maturity. The space between the proposed building and public sidewalk is approximately ten feet. Additionally, there is a concern for sidewalk uplifting by tree roots due to the close proximity of trees to the sidewalk as shown on the plan. Root barriers could be installed at the time of planting to extend sidewalk life, but uplifting will not be eliminated. 2. A planting bed remains in the public street right of way along Galante Lane. All private plantings should be kept within the property boundaries. City of Apple II Valley 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: Galante • 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. Gabella All trees planted along property lines should be kept within the property for future maintenance.

County Road C, Roseville, MN 55113 I P: 651-636-7260 F: 651-636-7269 Thank you for your interest in Nichiha Fiber Cement. I am writing this letter as one professional's opinion in regards to prefinishing vs. field coating of fiber reinforced cement products, Nichiha Sierra Premium in specific. As a distributor of different cladding materials, both prefinished and primed for field painting, we are exposed to many different circumstances. In this specific case it is my personal recommendation to use field coat paint over factory prefinishing. Based on the information I have gathered from my factory prefinishers, they already recommend, at minimum, one coat field applied paint for all smooth cladding products. Yet, another benefit to field coat painting is that you are less likely to have any inconsistencies regarding "touch up" of paint, which can occur when factory prefinished material is used. The warranty provided by Nichiha is not contingent upon paint application, field or factory applied, although the proper paint and manufacture's specifications must be followed. The following is an excerpt from the Nichiha Fiber Cement, Sierra Premium, Architectural Specifications: 3.6 FINISHING AND MAINTENANCE A. Use exterior grade high-quality sealant that complies with either ASTM C-834 (for primed products) or ASTM C-920 (for prefinished products) for all gaps that require filling with sealant. Follow the manufacturer's written instructions for use. B. All field cut edges should be covered with fiber cement sealant or paint. C. Dents, chips, scratches, etc. on the products shall be filled with exterior grade cementious patching or putty. Follow the manufacturer's written instructions for use. D. All unfinished [pre-primed] products must be painted within 12 months. Exterior grade 100% acrylic latex paints are recommended. Follow the manufacturer's written instructions for use. E. Cleaning: Rub boards with a soft brush using a diluted neutral detergent. Do not use hard tools such as a wire brush or other abrasive materials. It is not my intent to speak on behalf of Nichiha, siding application company, paint manufacture, or paint application company. I look forward to serving your needs.

Comprehensive Plan "C" (Commercial) "LB" (Limited Business "C" (Commercial) "GB" (General Business) "INS" (Institutional "P" (Institutional) "C" (Commercial) Zoning/Land Use "LB" (Limited Business) Development Project Review Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site "C" (Commercial). This request would be in conformance with the existing map designation and the goals and policies of the Plan. Zoning: The property is currently zoned "RB" (Retail Business). Retail business districts are areas which are centrally located to serve the need for general retail sales. Freestanding retail buildings such as the proposed convenience store are permitted uses, and motor fuel sales and car wash operations are conditional uses within the "RB" zoning district. Proposed Replat: The site is currently platted and legally described as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, BOR-NEL addition. The applicant is proposing to consolidate the existing two lots into one lot to allow for the new construction of the convenience store, car wash, and fuel canopy on one lot of record. The proposed plat identifies all the required perimeter drainage and utility easements as well as restricted access easement along Cedar Avenue. No outstanding issues have been identified. Dakota County Review: Because the proposed subdivision is located adjacent to County roads, it is subject to review by the Dakota County Plat Commission. The plans were reviewed by the Plat Commission at its August 27, 2012, meeting and their comments are included in an attached letter. Conditional Use Permits: This site has been the location of a convenience store/fuel sales operation since 1983, with a car wash bay added in 1993. Conditional use permits (CUP's) were granted in 1983 for motor fuel sales, and in 1993 for the car wash operations and outdoor display. As with most CUP' s, certain conditions have been established for the three conditional uses that are specific to the use as presented at the time of approval, which may not be applicable with the changes being proposed by the applicant. Therefore, amendments to the existing CUP's will be necessary. Amendments to the motor fuel sales CUP should address the new site plan, number of pumps, collection of hazardous waste spills, canopy lighting that restricts illumination to the area directly beneath the canopy, and the use the of fuel dispensing public address system. CUP amendments to the car wash operations will include recognition of the new site plan and elevations, and should address operational issues such as the opening and closing of the automatic doors. The existing CUP for outdoor display for the current facility has some conditions specific to the operations as presented in 1993. Amendments will be necessary that would allow for the video rental vending machine and location of products for display. As with the other CUP', the amendments will also need to reference the new site plan. Site Plan: The applicant is proposing to raze the existing 12,400 sq. ft. multi-tenant building, 972 sq. ft. car wash bay, and 3,726 sq. ft. fuel canopy and construct a new 7,643commercial building that will include a 5,764 convenience store and 1,879 sq. ft. attached single stall car wash facility and 4,800 sq. ft. fuel canopy on 1.93-acre lot. Access to the site will be via two 35-foot wide driveways off of 145 Street West. An existing driveway off of Glenda Drive will be removed with the new construction, and no access will be allowed from Cedar Avenue. Maximum driveway width allowed by code is 30 feet. The applicant has indicated that a 30-foot wide driveway creates some challenges for their delivery vehicles and is requesting a variance from the City Code to allow for the wider driveways. They have submitted a plan that shows the turning movement of semi-trucks entering and exiting the site, which shows the vehicles jumping the curb. Staff did a survey of our surrounding communities and found the following: • Eagan has no minimum or maximum standards for commercial/industrial driveways. * Lakeville typically sees 24-28 foot wide driveways for commercial/industrial uses that do not have semis and multiple vehicle turning movements in and out. They stated that their new Wal-Mart has 36-foot wide driveways. * Rosemount requires a minimum driveway width of 24 feet and a maximum of 36 feet. * Burnsville's requirements are that a driveway access shall not exceed twenty-four feet (24') in width at the public street right of way line unless in the event of a median divided driveway or service entrance for large trucks, the width may exceed /twenty four feet (24') if the design and location is approved by the city engineer. It appears that our neighboring communities allow for wider driveways to sites that incur a lot of large truck traffic. With that said, staff would probably agree with the applicant when they state that the wider driveways are needed to properly accommodate their delivery vehicles. It does not appear that approval of a variance to increase the width of the driveways will alter the essential character of the area and would not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties. Ten (10) parking spaces will be located directly in front of the store with an additional thirteen (13) spaces located along the east property line abutting Cedar Avenue. The proposed parking will meet the minimum required parking. The 20 ft. x 28 ft. trash enclosure will be located in the northeast corner of the site, which will be directly adjacent to Cedar Avenue. The enclosure walls shall be required to be constructed of the same material as the proposed building. 2 Grading Plan: The site is relatively flat and minimal grading will be done to prepare the site for redevelopment, which will include the construction of two infiltration basins. The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary grading plan and has the following comments: • The applicant shall work with City staff to provide elevations on the site meeting a minimum elevation of 957 to promote drainage during large rainfall events. This elevation would result in a building elevation of approximately 957.5. The plans do not currently reflect this change. O The infiltration basins have been re-designed as filtration basins. The 12" layer of native soil indicated on the detail plate should consist of 70% washed sand and 30% compost to promote filtration through the media. The plans should also be revised to consistently label the basins as "Filtration Basins". • Overland flow from the east side of the building shall be directed to Filtration Basin #1 rather than Catch Basin #3. Catch Basin #3 should be converted to a manhole. Site grading shall ensure flow from the east side of the building to Filtration Basin #1 is maximized. • The storm sewer connection to the public system at the southwest corner of the lot has been labeled as potentially requiring reconstruction to accommodate the proposed storm sewer line. Reconstruction of this structure shall be indicated on the right-of-way permit application and shall be coordinated with Apple Valley engineering staff. O The applicant shall verify that the revised filtration basins will have sufficient capacity for 0.5" of volume over the entire site in a 48 hour period. • Inlet protection shall be installed at all storm sewer inlets. This has been noted on the revised plans. The City's Natural Resources Coordinator has also reviewed the preliminary plans and has the following comments regarding the proposed infiltration areas: • There should be no native soil within the filtration basin; the soil mix should be 70% sand and 30% compost. This will improve water movement through the media and is a common standard soil mix for these types of storm water BMP' s. * The bottom of the basin should be as flat and not rounded as shown in the detail. • Drain tile should be next to the clay layer, not raised off the bottom. • There is no need for course aggregate around the drain tile as shown on the plan detail; the course aggregate should be eliminated. • A maintenance plan should be prepared for watering, weeding, and mowing needs. This will help to assure plant establishment and weed prevention. Revisions per the City Engineer's and Natural Resources Coordinator's comments should be made to their plans. The applicant shall execute a maintenance agreement for the filtration to ensure their ongoing functionality. The applicant stated that they have no issue with the recommendations and would make the necessary revisions. A question was raised as to what is the difference between an infiltration basin and a filtration basin. Essentially, an infiltration basin is constructed in a manner that allows for the infiltration of water through basin filled with gravel or crushed stone into the groundwater. A filtration basin has a sealed bottom that holds the water and allows for the removal of fine particles in water by means of gravity. Elevation Drawings: The exterior finish of the proposed 7,643 sq. ft. convenience store/car wash bay will be primarily red brick with tan brick used for horizontal accent lines. A green standing-seamed metal roof overhang will be constructed along the front elevation and along approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the length of the side elevations. Tan stucco will be installed just above the main entrance to the building. Staff has no issues with the building's exterior finish as proposed. The applicant is proposing to construct a 120 ft. x 40 ft. fuel canopy that will provide cover for the fueling area. Approximately 50% of the canopy's support columns will be encased with brick, which should provide a nice look to it. 3 Landsca I e Plan: The landscape plan identifies a nice variety of live plant material that will be installed along the perimeter of the site. They are proposing the installation of eight (8) Colorado spruce along the west property line to help screen the site from the residential uses to the northwest. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the proposed landscape plan and is recommending that the Colorado blue spruce be replaced with Black Hills spruce due to needlecast and canker diseases associated with Colorado spruce. Black Hills are less prone to needle cast and canker diseases. Availability of Municipal Utilities: All necessary municipal utilities to serve the building are available by means of service connections to existing water main, storm and sanitary sewer lines located within or directly adjacent to the site. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has the following comments: • The location of the sanitary sewer service to the existing building shall be identified. The existing sewer service that is proposed to be abandoned may need to be removed to the main. This has been noted on the revised plans. • The sanitary sewer service invert to the proposed basement is shown to be at an elevation of 949.53. The proposed basement is shown to be at an elevation of 947.08. This scenario will require some form of an ejector pump unless the basement elevation is raised. • The water service and fire service shall be split outside of the building with the ability to turn off each service independently. This has been addressed on the revised plans. • A post indicator or wall mounted val shall be provided on the fire service. This has been addressed on the revised plans. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The site is bounded on three sides by public streets, Cedar Avenue to the east, 145 Street West to the south and Glenda Avenue to the west. Access to the site will be gained via two driveways along 145 Street West, which currently exist. Pedestrian Access: There is currently a bituminous pathway located along Cedar Avenue. There is currently a sidewalk along the south side of 145 Street West and no sidewalks exist along either side of Glenda Drive. Because of the orientation of the new building and layout of the site, a sidewalk should be installed along the north side 145 Street West. The applicant stated at the public hearing that they would install the sidewalk along 145 Street West. Signs: Although the applicant has not submitted a formal sign application, their elevations show 21 sq. ft. "KWIK TRIP" on the east and west elevations and a 22 sq. ft. "CAR WASH" sign located on the south elevation. Their plans also show signage on the canopy. All building signage shall be in conformance with City's sign regulations. An existing pylon sign is located at the southeast corner of the site. The applicant has not indicated if they plan on constructing a new sign with this redevelopment proposal. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held on October 3, 2012. No comments were received.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PROJECT SUMMAR Chick-fil-A Restaurant Sketch Plan Agenda teni: 7. N/ Case Number: Staff Reviewer: Thomas Lovelace Applicant: Chick-fil-A Inc. and H. R. Green Application Date: N/ Meeting Date: October 17 2012 Petition for: Purpose: Summary of Issues: The proposed site is part of the replat of the existing Cub Foods property that consists of the replatting of the 11.63-acre lot into a one 9.63-acre lot and two one-acre lots. The proposed restaurant would be located on the one-acre lot located in the northwest comer of the plat. Construction of the proposed restaurant will be contingent on the approval of CUB FOODS ADDITION final plat. Attachments: • Sketch Plan Review Review of a concept plan for a proposed development project that will consist of the construction of a 4,585 sq. ft. Chick-fil-A restaurant, 38-space parking lot, and drive-thru lane on .988 acres. The site is located in the southeast corner of 153 Street West and Cedar Avenue. A Class II restaurant is a conditional use within the "RB" (Retail Business) zoning district and cannot be located any closer than 1,000 feet from a residential or institutional use. This proposed restaurant will be located approximately 150 feet from the property line of a townhome development located on the west side of Cedar Avenue and 300 feet from the nearest dwelling unit in that development. Therefore, a variance would need to be approved along with a conditional use permit. The site plan shows a 35 ft. x 9 ft. trash enclosure that will be located directly south the site on the Cub Foods property. Deliveries to the operation also will be made at that same general location. Generally, the City requires that all operations of a business occur on their own lot. The proposed restaurant will be located 32 feet from the west property line, which is 18 feet closer than is allowed by code. The site plan indicates two menus boards for the drive-thru lanes. City code allows a maximum of one menu board shall be permitted on a parcel of land with a restaurant providing drive-up window service. Recommended Action: No official action is needed.

The commercial designation includes a wide variety of retail, office, and service uses that vary in intensity and off-site impacts. Retail land uses will be zoned RB, SC, and PD, which allows uses according to the specific performance standards: O High quality site and architectural design and building materials are expected to be used within this land use category to promote pleasing off-site views of the development; • Development in the downtown area shall adhere to the Downtown Design Guidelines; O Landscaping shall be installed to provide aesthetic treatment of buildings and to soften parking lot areas; O Significant traffic generation during the weekday and weekends is associated with retail development. Traffic studies may be requested in conjunction with the review of large developments that have the potential to threaten the integrity of the existing and planned roadway system. Additionally, developments that lower the level of service on adjacent roadways or intersections may be required to install traffic improvements to improve the level of service to its pre-development condition if City approval is granted. • Driveway access points to the development shall be from non-local streets or those designed for primarily non-residential traffic. No direct access to County Road #42 and Cedar Avenue shall be allowed; and • Lighting is limited to parking lot and building illumination designed for employee safety. The proposed restaurant use would be in conformance with the existing map designation and the goals and policies of the Plan. Zoning: The property is currently zoned "RB" (Retail Business). Retail business districts are areas which are centrally located to serve the need for general retail sales. The existing use is a permitted use within the "RB" zoning district. The zoning district also allows for a variety of permitted, conditional, and accessory uses commonly associated with retail development, including Class II restaurants as a conditional use when located no closer than 1,000 feet from any residential or institutional use. The Chick-fil-A restaurant, which would be classified as a Class II restaurant, is approximately 150 feet from the property line of a townhome development located on the west side of Cedar Avenue and 300 feet from the nearest dwelling unit in that development. Therefore, a variance would need to be approved that would allow a Class II restaurant to locate closer than the minimum 1,000 feet from the residential use. It should be noted that a Class II restaurant currently exists at the northwest corner of 153r Street West and Cedar Avenue, which is approximately 200 feet from the before-mentioned townhouse development. This restaurant was constructed prior to the enactment of the of the 1,000-foot distance requirement. Also, it should be noted that a noise wall will be constructed between the townhomes and Cedar Avenue as part of the reconstruction of the road. This will provide some screening from Cedar Avenue as well as the land uses along the east side of the roadway, including the Cub Foods property. During the past several years the City has approved variances to allow for Class II restaurants to locate closer than 1,000 feet from a residential or institutional use. In 2010, Panda Express, a Class II restaurant located at 7735 150 Street West (CSAH 42) received a variance from the 1,000-foot distance requirement. The variance was granted due to the finding that CSAH 42 was a principal arterial road with a 160-foot right-of-way and a traffic volume of over 30,000 vehicle trips per day, which will act as a barrier and mitigate impacts generated from the Class II restaurant on the institutional and residential land uses south of CSAH 42. Variances from the 1,000-foot distance requirement were also granted in 1993 for some other Class II restaurants along CSAH 42. They include Bruegger's Bagels, Taco. Bell, and Dairy Queen. Preliminary Plat: The proposed site is part of the replat of the existing Cub Foods property that consists of the replatting of the 11.6-acre lot into a one 9.63-acre lot and two one-acre lots. The proposed restaurant would be located on the one-acre lot located in the northwest corner of the plat. This proposed plat was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their August 1 and September 5 meetings and the Commission has recommended approval of the replat. Construction of the proposed restaurant will be contingent on the approval of CUB FOODS ADDITION final plat. Site Plan: The site plan shows a 4,585 sq. ft. building, 36-space surface parking lot, and two drive-thru lanes that will taper into one lane. The building will be located 32 feet from the west property line, which is 18 feet closer than is allowed by code. The east two-thirds of the lot will be the location of the 36-space parking lot. Access to the site will be from two driveways located along the south side of the property. City code requires a minimum of one space per three customer seats. This restaurant will have 106 seats, which will require a minimum of 35 spaces. 2 The applicant is proposing a two lane drive-thru along the north side of the property that will taper into a single lane as you proceed west and south to the pick-up window. City code requires a minimum of six stacking spaces for each lane, which the applicant has provided. Sidewalks will be extended from the site to existing sidewalks/pathways along Cedar Avenue and 153 Street West. The plan shows a 35 ft. x 9 ft. trash enclosure that will be located directly south the site on the Cub Foods property. Deliveries to the operation also will be made at that same general location. Generally, the City requires that all operations of a business occur on their own lot. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: Access to site will be via drives and located in Lot 1 and the lot directly to the east. The execution of cross access easement agreements between all parties that allow for ingress and egress from all lots within the proposed Cub Foods subdivision would be part of any approval of this development project. Building Elevations: The submitted elevations show a building that will have an exterior finish consisting mainly of brick. Staff has no issues. Signs: The elevations show signage on four sides of the building. No sign dimensions have been submitted. All building signage will need to conform to the requirements set forth in the City's sign code. The site plan indicates two menus boards for the drive-thru lanes. The City's sign ordinance addresses menu boards in the following manner: * A maximum of one menu board shall be permitted on a parcel of land with a restaurant providing drive-up window service. * The menu board shall be a maximum of 50 square feet in area and may be in addition to any other signs permitted by this chapter. • The menu board shall be single-sided and oriented in such a manner so that the signs provide information to the patrons using the drive-thru facility only, and do not provide supplemental advertising to pass-by traffic. • The menu board signage shall be completely enclosed within one sign area. • Order confirmation signage no greater than one square foot and incorporated into the drive-thru speaker pedestal shall not be calculated as part of the menu board signage area. Order confirmation signage greater than one square foot shall be incorporated into menu board and calculated as part of said board's sign area. 3 October 4, 2012 Mr. Thomas Lovelace, City Planner City of Apple Valley 7100 147 Street West Apple Valley, MN 55124 RE: Chick-fil-A, Lot 2 of the Cub Foods Redevelopment Sketch Plan Review Request HR Green Job No.: 86120231 Dear Mr. Lovelace: On behalf of our client Chick-fil-A, we would like to request we be put on the agenda for the October 17, 2012 Plan Commission meeting for sketch plan review. The project is located at the southeast corner of Cedar Avenue and 153 Street on Lot 2 of the proposed Cub Food redevelopment. The project will consist of razing the existing parking lot within the parcel and constructing the proposed restaurant which will contain approximately 4,585 square feet of floor area, will be attractively landscaped, and will feature an outdoor seating area adjacent to the 153 Street frontage. A drive-thru service facility is also proposed which will feature two stacking lanes up to the order points that will merge into one lane leading up to the pickup window. Chick-fil-A has found that this drive-thru configuration increases efficiency and minimizes vehicle overflow into the parking lot. The site has been oriented to locate the building along the western property line with the playground facing 153 Avenue. This allowed us to isolate the drive thru traffic from the dine-in traffic to eliminate the need for customers accessing the building to cross over multiple drive-thru lanes. The drive-thru lanes have been laid out to provide for ample stacking both before the order boards and between the order boards and pick-up window to minimize overflow into the parking lot. The main parking field just east of the building has been designed with 60 degree parking stalls to create a one-way traffic flow scenario. Vehicular access to the proposed restaurant will be provided by two access points to the internal ring road for the Cub Foods redevelopment, which will minimize impacts to the existing public roadways. Thirty-eight off-street parking spaces will be located within the subject property which includes two handicap spaces. Chick-fil-A as company has been around for many years and their story is one that actually began 91 years ago when a man named Truett Cathy was born in 1921 in the small town of Eatonton, Georgia, about 80 miles from Atlanta, where he grew up. Truett's mom ran a boarding house, which meant she had to cook a lot of meals — but Truett helped, and he paid close attention, and picked up cooking and serving tips that would come in quite handy later. Along the way, he also learned to be quite the entrepreneur. He sold magazines door to door, delivered newspapers all over the neighborhood, and sold Coca-Colas from a stand in his front yard and all the while he was learning the importance of good customer service. After serving his country in World War II, in 1946 Truett used the business experience he gained growing up and opened his first restaurant with his brother, Ben, calling it the Dwarf Grill (later renamed the Dwarf House). Hamburgers were on the menu but, ironically, no chicken because he said it took too long to cook. Truett worked hard with that first venture, but considered Sunday to be a day of rest for himself and his employees and as you know, that's a practice that Chick-fil-A honors to this day. RECL1 ED OCT 0 5 2012 4 --1 1*VB .,--$0441 Mr. Thomas Lovelace, City Planner City of Apple Valley Chick-fil-A, Sketch Plan Review Request HR Green Job No.: 86120231 October 4, 2012 Page 2 of 4 The early 60s would be a pivotal time in Truett's life. That's when he first took a boneless breast of chicken and spent the next few years experimenting until he found the perfect mix of seasonings, he breaded and cooked the filet so that it stayed juicy, put it between two buttered buns and added two pickles for extra measure and in 1963 unveiled what we now know as the Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. As far as the name, Truett says it just came to him. He had it registered that year in 1963 and created a logo that has been updated but is still very similar to the original designed 50 years ago. The Chick-fil-A sandwich was a huge hit, and in 1967 Truett opened his first Chick-fil-A restaurant in an enclosed shopping mall where, up to that point, food normally wasn't sold. Frankly, the developer of the Greenbriar Shopping Center in Atlanta wasn't too keen on serving food inside his mall, but as we know that turned out to be a very smart decision on his part, and especially Truett's. Today, Truett is recognized as the pioneer in quick-service mall food. It wasn't until 1986 that Chick-fil-A opened its first "freestanding" restaurant on North Druid Hills Road in Atlanta. Today there are close to 1,600 restaurants locations in 39 states and it's become so popular that people literally camp out in the parking lot the night before a grand opening of a new restaurant; they're hoping to be one of the first 100 people in line because they'll be rewarded with free Chick-fil-A for a year, which gives new meaning to the phrase "happy campers!" Chick-fil-A is now the largest quick-service chicken restaurant and one of the largest that's privately- held. Three generations of Cathy family members are involved in the business, including Truett (CEO), his sons Dan (the president and COO) and Bubba (senior VP) and now, his grandchildren. Our Food There are a lot of things people say they like about Chick-fil-A, but it all begins with the food, and especially the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. It was a significant product innovation, and it remains our best-selling item on the menu. Our innovations didn't stop with the chicken sandwich. In 1982, we were the first restaurant to sell chicken nuggets nationally, and three years later added our trademark Waffle Potato Fries to the menu, and we still use 100% fully refined peanut oil, which is cholesterol and trans fat free. In 2010, we introduced the Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich. With its special blend of peppers and other seasonings, it became such a "hot" selling item that last year (2011) we introduced the Spicy Chicken Biscuit. People also like the fact that we offer a variety of menu options for those wanting foods that are lower in calories, carbs or fats, such as the Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich, entree salads and fruit cups and by the way, fruit cups are an option with our kids meals these days. In fact, Men's Health magazine named us "America's Healthiest Chain Restaurant for Kids." The high quality of our food is the number one reason people keep coming back to Chick-fil-A but there are a few more reasons — and one has four legs and is a terrible speller. Serving our Customers Whenever you ask people what they like about Chick-fil-A, one of first things they say is "the service" and it's an important part of our story, because it goes back to Truett's experience as a young businessman and to the values he instilled in Chick-fil-A. We call it Second Mile Service, and it's based on the belief that if someone asks you to carry something for them one mile, you do one better and carry it for them two. It's doing those unexpected things that make people feel special. Our drive-thru has been voted "America's #1 drive-thru" for six years in a row. We do our best to ensure a quick and pleasurable experience, and might even have a nugget for the family pet when you arrive at the window. But no matter if you're being served in our restaurants, at our drive-thrus, or with an outside delivery, you can always count on our team members responding to your words of thanks with two special words of their own — "My pleasure." Chick-fil-A Philosophy & Operator/Employment Model The Company's philosophy is that their restaurants become integral parts of the communities in which they are located. Toward that end, Chick-fil-A makes scholarships available to store employees and sponsors the Winshape Foundation which supports a family of programs designed to encourage outstanding young people nationwide. The Foundation has a college program and operates a series of camps, homes, and retreats. On the local level, individual restaurant operators typically engage in community support activities such as sponsoring youth sports teams, supporting educational activities, and leadership initiatives. Finally, and in accordance with company policy, the operators and employees in each Chick-fil-A Restaurant strive for a level of customer service unequaled in the quick-service food industry. It is quite common to go into a Chick-fil-A and have your tray carried to your table, have people clear your table, and ask if they can come and refresh your beverage. Beyond the above, Chick-fil-A's operators model is very unique in the fast food industry. In their situation, the operator is part owner with Chick-fil-A. It's similar to a franchise except they usually have one location. Sometimes they have two but for the most part they have one location and what that provides is a situation where they have very competent partners with great character in the restaurants and they are involved in the community, are part of the community, and they spend a lot of time in the community. What Chick-fil-A likes to say is that their operators are in business for themselves, but not by themselves. It is very unusual for an operator to shut down and the retention rate for operators is about 98%. A typical Chick-fil-A store will employ approximately 45 permanent jobs with approximately 120 jobs created for temporary construction employment. A typical store will operate between the hours of 6:OOam to 10:30pm; Monday thru Saturday and are always closed on Sundays. We look forward to further reviewing the specifics of our project and Company in more detail with the Plan Commission.
