The "Success in Recycling" award was presented to the City by the Dakota County Board for residential recycling of 4,642 tons of material in 1991. Mayor Holton read a proclamation, proclaiming April 26th through May VOLUNTEER 2nd, 1992, to be Volunteer Recognition Week. In observance of this RECOGNITION event and to recognize the time and effort volunteers have given to PROCLAMATION the City, the Mayor presented marble apple awards to committee members & AWARDS who have served for ten years. They are Rollin Bible and Robert Naegeli on the Cable TV Committee; and Shirley Doering, John McKay, Sharon Schwartz and Pamela Sohlberg on the Urban Affairs Committee. Mayor Holton asked if anyone was present to address the Council at AUDIENCE DISCN this time on any item not on this meeting's agenda. Wilt Anderson, SIGNS IN 5441 West 134th Street, asked the Council to enforce the sign ordinance GEMETERY in Lebanon Cemetery. Real estate, garage sale and political signs have been put on the property. Mr. Melena said on weekends real estate signs have been allowed to by put up in the City. If they are not removed by Monday, they are picked up and confiscKted. If political signs are incorrectly placed, the people are notified. Mr. Anderson said developer and real estate signs are the biggest violators and those signs could be placed on the other corners of the intersection. A year ago the problem was addressed and the signs were reduced, but they are reappearing. Police Captain Cook said the County does not allow signs on its right-of-way and he had discussed allowing one regulatory sign by the cemetery advising no signs could be posted. Mr. Melena said the City will send letters to the Dakota County Board of Realtors, local developers and realtors advising them of the violations. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota April 23, 1992 Page 2 Bill Hettling, 12562 Driftwood Lane, representing 143 homes in the AUDIENCE DISC. Huntington/Hunters Ridge neighborhood, requested action on safe GARBAGE TRUCK operation of garbage trucks in the City. Concern stems from an ac- SAFETY cident where a child was struck by a truck. He asked that the City: contact the haulers reminding them of safe vehicle operations; look at the option of curbside garbage collection so haulers will not back into driveways; request Police enforcement of the law, in the state driving manual, concerning backing up; and appoint a committee to investigate alternative means or methods of garbage collection. Councilmember Sterling asked about Mr. Hettling's neighborhood contracting with one hauler for service and said her experience has been that most haulers will not back into driveways if requested. Mr. Hettling said all but three homes are using the ssme hauler, to reduce the number of truck on the streets, and this hauler does not back into driveways. Councilmember Erickson said curbside/garageside garbage collection was a controversial issue in the City when consideration was given to allowing curbside pickup. He asked for Police comments on enforcing vehicle backing up laws. Police Captain Erickson said all provisions of the Minnesota Drivers Manual are not enforceable. Only the provisions which have been enacted into state law can be cited for violations. Councilmember Goodwin asked how prevalent curbside versus garageside garbage collection is in the Metro area? Mr. Weldon said very few cities have garageside pickup. A condition of licensing by the City requires that haulers abide by all laws and reminders could be sent to licensed haulers. Residents have the right to ask haulers not to back into driveways. Councilmember Humphrey said Mr. Hettling's neighborhood should be commended for taking action on its own. The issue may best be dealt with on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. Now that separate vehicles pick up recyclables and yardwaste there are generally three vehicles picking up at each house. The Council discussed revisiting the garbage collection issue including districting if curbside garbage collection were to be allowed. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Erickson, referring the issues of curbside/garageside/districting garbage collection to the Urban Affairs Committee for a recommendation. REFER GARBAGE TO URBAN AFFAIRS GOM. Mr. Hettling asked what authority the Urban Affairs Committee has? Councilmember Goodwin said it is an advisory body and will make a recommendation to the Council. No date is being put on the Committee for making its recommendation. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0.

RES. 1992-94 ORDER PROJ. 92-383 Mr. Welsch reviewed his memo dated April 23, 1992, concerning an WI~ITNEY PLAZA amendment to Planned Development Designation No. 532, Whitney Plaza. PLANNED DEV. The Planning Commission's recommendation is to eliminate restaurants AMENDMENT as a permitted use in Zone 1; all Zone 2 uses would be permitted in Zone 1 except auto services or repair activities. The developer has informed Mr. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota April 23, 1992 Page 6 Welsch that he believed auto service uses would be allowed, The Metropolitan Council reviewed the Comprehensive Plan amendment and determined it has no potential impact on any metropolitan system plans. Councilmember Humphrey said traffic projections show limited auto repair service uses generate fewer trips to the site than some other uses. He would agree to allowing auto uses with any garage doors on Lot 1 facing north only. MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Goodwin, passing Ordinance No. 532.1 amending Article A19 of Appendix A of the City Code, Planned Development Designation No. 532, Whitney Plaza (Delegard 2nd Addition) by eliminating restaurant and convenience store uses in Zone 1 (Lot 1); allowing the same other uses as in Zone 2, except that any auto service bay doors must face north; and amending Section A19-6 by requiring the fence and screening to be six feet in height instead of eight feet. ORDINANCE WHITNEY PLAZA ZONE 1 USES The Council discussed different types of possible auto related and convenience store uses. Mr. Welsch reviewed the uses described in the draft ordinance and said the only difference, with this motion, is that a convenience store would be allowed in Zone 2. Motor fuel sales would not be allowed in either zone. Karen Mattingly, 15898 Harwell Avenue, representing residents of the area, said they had asked for no restaurant and no auto use on Lot 1. They are concerned about the development becoming an auto strip mall. They would not want a convenience store on Lot 1 and would prefer that the only auto-related uses be Midas Muffler and Jiffy Lube. Councilmember Erickson said he supports the Planning Commission recommendation not to allow auto uses on Lot 1 and asked how many separate auto-related uses could be allowed on the development. Mr. Welsch said potentially four of the six lots could have auto service uses. The two interior lots would not be able to have garage bays. The Council discussed the height of the wall and berming and concurred with reducing the total height from eight feet to six feet. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1 (Erickson). Mr. Kelley reviewed the Planning Commission report on Apple Valley A.V. RETAIL Retail 2nd Addition and Frank's Nursery proposed for the area south 2ND & FRANK'S of 153rd Street and east of Cub Foods.

The west side of the building will be block. If construction of adjacent phases does not occur by 1994, it will have to be covered with brick. Vines Driesen, of Ryan Construction, the developer, was present to answer questions. CITY OF APPLE vALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota April 23, 1992 Page 7 Mr. Melena said the Attorney is reviewing whether the entire parking lot can be installed with other public improvements and the cost assessed over 15 years. The cost could then be repaid by tax increment financing. There are six years left in that TIF district.

PARKING CITY OFAPPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota April 23, 1992 Page 9 MOTION: of Erickson, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No. 1992-105 establishing "no parking" regulations on the north side of Baldwin Drive, between Garden View Drive and Hope- well Lane, and in Baldwin Circle from May through August, between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m; and directing Staff to work with Valley Athletic Association to encourage use of school parking lots for its activities. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0o RES. 1992-105 BALDWIN CIR. & DR. PARKING RESTRICTIONS Mr. Johnson reviewed the memo dated April 14, 1992, concerning use of NEIGHBORHOOD neighborhood parks in 1992 for youth athletic programs. He noted that PARK USAGE Greening Park, one of'the parks proposed to be used again, is unique because it is surrounded almost entirely by homes. Neighbors from that area were present to speak about their concerns. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, authorizing use of the following neighborhood parks for youth athletic programs during 1992, as requested in the Recreation Supervisor's memo dated April 14, 1992: Delaney, Duchess, Faith, Fred J. Largen, Galaxie, Greening, Greenleaf, Huntington, Longridge, Moeller, Redwood South, Tintah and Wildwood. NEIGHBORHOOD PARK USAGE IN 1992 Rob Grady, 857 Greening Drive, said his house faces the only entrance to Greening Park and his driveway is used as a turnaround for vehicles. Cars are parked on both sides of the street when games are going on in the park. If the use is allowed, he would like some type of parking restriction and games scheduled so they don't overlap or use of the park limited to one night a week. Councilmember Goodwin said he has worked with Mr. Johnson and the VAA to find play fields and everything reasonably available is being used. There may not have been as much coordination by VAA as there should have been, in the past, and they may be able to use fields more creatively. There is a tremendous need for space and the only way out may be a bond issue; meanwhile, there should be some scheduling coordinatien. John Hoagberg, of VAA, said they would prefer not using Greening Park or any neighborhood parks, but there is a need. He cited statistics on the number of children enrolled in programs. Lane Allen, VAA Soccer Commissioner, said their intention now is to use Greening only on an emergency basis for make-up games or if other fields are flooded. They will be making better use of school fields this year. Denise Louis, 893 Golding Lane, said last year there were three games a night, five nights a week, in Greening Park. They create excessive noise, including coaches shouting at players, and litter. Nancy Grady, 857 Greening Drive, said Mr. Allen only deals with "in-house" soccer teams and she understands "traveling" teams intend to use Greening Park. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota April 23, 1992 Page 10 MOTION: of Erickson, seconded by Humphrey, amending the foregoing motion by allowing Greening Park to be used on an emergency basis only'for youth athletic programs and not regularly scheduled games.

They advised her that there is additional land the RTB could acquire to expand the lot. They also discussed a downtown park and ride site with Ms. Miller.
