CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes August 3, 2022 Page 2 of 4 Planner Lovelace stated that it refers to the easement south of Lot 2 as previously, the building was in the easement area and the City wanted to clarify that it cannot be in the easement. Commissioner Diekmann asked why this is not a condition of Lot 1 since it also abuts an easement. Planner Lovelace explained that it is a private easement with the pipeline company and this condition is already set in place between the applicant and the pipeline company. The applicant would need to have permission from the pipeline company. Commissioner Diekmann asked if Lot 1 could ever have a drive-through added. Planner Lovelace stated that it could and they have left an open area though they would need permission with the pipeline company. Commissioner Scanlan asked if the sidewalk would cross the exit to the drive-through. Planner Lovelace stated that is correct. Commissioner Scanlan asked if a speedbump would be a consideration in order to control speed. Planner Lovelace said that it was discussed but the location of the pickup window is close to the pedestrian crossover and may not be necessary as most will be at lower speeds.
