(PC13-35-SB) LOCATION: 14445 Diamond Path PETITIONER: Independent School District 196 the fuel dispensing area. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 4, 2013 Page 2 of 9 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Planner Kathy Bodmer stated the property is zoned "P" (Institutional) which allows educational facilities and administrative offices, but currently does not allow for maintenance and storage facilities like the cold storage building, the bus barn, or the outdoor storage area. The zoning code would need to be amended to allow the relocated cold storage building, the outdoor storage area and The site would be graded and shaped so that the 2-story building would be constructed into the hill with entrances on the upper and lower levels. The back of the building would act as a retaining wall with two retaining walls extending off of the northwest and east sides of the building. The building's main entrance would be on the lower level on the east side of the building. The parking lot would be accessed from the private internal drive that is connected to 144th Street and Diamond Path. Buses would drop off students on the north side of the building on the upper level of the site. A fuel dispensing area consisting of two fuel pumps and two underground storage tanks would be relocated from south of the existing bus barn to west of the bus barn. An existing metal-clad cold storage building and a fenced storage area would be relocated from the southwest portion of the site up to the area west of the bus barn. The relocated fueling area and cold storage building west of the bus barn was proposed to be surfaced with gravel. The area is gravel today and buses park on the gravel surface. Any surface used for vehicle traffic, parking or storage must be a paved surface. Barbara Savanick Trail, a City trail corridor that extends from the north side of County Road 42 up to Farquar Park just south of Farquar Lake, drops at the District 196 property. This development project may provide an opportunity for a connection through the site up to Tintah Park. Screening of the School District property from residential properties to the west and Tintah Park to the north is a concern. The landscape plans show extensive tree plantings throughout the site to help screen the development from the residential properties to the west. A traffic study would be needed which provides trip generation and distribution resulting from this new development. Discussion followed. Scott McQueen, Wold Architects, provided additional information. Steve Budnik, 4771 — 144th Street W., inquired if a traffic study had been conducted yet. Chair Melander answered that it had not been done yet. Mr. Budnik expressed concern that the project had come to this point already if the traffic study on 144th Street had not been completed yet. He felt the street is not designed to handle the amount of traffic that would be generated. Diamond Path Elementary is a STEM school. He asked if the CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 4, 2013 Page 3 of 9 traffic study could be done during the morning hours when parents are dropping off their children. He also expressed concern for the amount of traffic generated during soccer games and would like late afternoon hours considered as well during the traffic study. He inquired why the berm on 144th Street would need to be taken out. He felt it could be used to screen the view from the neighborhood so they do not have to look at the campus. He expressed concern what the campus could do to his property value. He stated ISD 196 would be coming to the voters for a levy in the fall. He questioned where the district is getting the money to pay for the campus if they are asking the voters for more money. He is a firm believer that if you do not have it, do not spend it. He asked if the campus could be built at another location that could accommodate a higher volume of traffic rather than a residential street. Scott Syverson, 14410 Drumlin Ct., commented on the traffic and felt it is a high traffic area. He felt 144th Street is a narrow street when cars are parked there. He had concerns for people crossing there and felt that a traffic study would be so important. Lenae Gabert, 4780 — 144th Street W., expressed concern for the volume of traffic and the high rate of speed. She added that school buses use 144th Street to drive to Eastview High School. Further discussion followed. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:53 p.m. B. Cortland HOA Community Pool — Public hearing to consider a land use map amendment to the Comprehensive Plan from "LD" (Low Density Residential/2-6 units per acre ) to "P" (Parks and Open Space) and rezoning from "R-3" (Single Family Residential) to "P" (Institutional) of Outlot A, CORTLAND and Lot 1, Block 3, CORTLAND SECOND ADDITION; and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for Home Owners Association (HOA) community pool with 480 sq. ft. bath house and 240 sq. ft. mechanical room on Lot 1, Block 3, CORTLAND SECOND ADDITION (PC13-31-PZB) LOCATION: 15341 Eagle Bay Way PETITIONER: D.

The proposed HOA pool would be located on property that is guided for low density residential uses and is zoned "R-3", which allows for single-family dwellings as a permitted use and private swimming pools for the use of the occupants of the premises as a permitted accessory use. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 4, 2013 Page 4 of 9 Institutional zoning districts are areas designed to serve the public and quasi-public uses and includes community swimming pools as a permitted use. Re-designation and rezoning of the property would make it consistent with the proposed use. He reviewed setbacks, proposed parking as well as building elevations and landscape plan. A six- foot high ornamental fence would be installed around the perimeter of the site, which would provide the necessary barrier required by the zoning code. Discussion followed. Mike Suel, D.R. Horton Homes, provided additional information.

The APPLE VALLEY BUSINESS CAMPUS 2ND ADDITION final plat would be considered by the City Council when they review the proposed site plan/building permit authorization request. No building permit would be issued until the property has been replatted.

Red Line Market and Development Study — Presentation by Kimley-Horn of preliminary findings from METRO Red Line Market and Development Study by City of Apple Valley and Dakota County. Planner Kathy Bodmer provided an introduction of the METRO Red Line Market and Development study. The Corridors of Opportunity (Co0) is a 3-year metropolitan initiative that began in 2011 to promote sustainable, vibrant and healthy communities along the region's transitway corridors. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 4, 2013 Page 9 of 9 The METRO Red Line Market and Development Study is one of the corridor studies that received funding from the Co0. The study's primary purpose was to identify strategies to promote development opportunities in the BRT station areas. The corridor cities of Lakeville, Apple Valley, Eagan and Bloomington, along with Dakota and Hennepin Counties, and the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) formed a project management team (PMT) which helps to oversee the study. The first phase of the Apple Valley Bus Rapid Transit Oriented Development Guide Plan (BRTOD Guide Plan) project, which the Commission reviewed at its meeting of September 5, 2012, provided recommendations for land use concepts, draft design guidelines and a draft ordinance for the station areas. The Red Line study provides market and financing information that would help to promote the station areas in all of the corridor cities, including Apple Valley's three station areas. The final step in the station area planning process would be to complete the design guidelines and implernent the ordinances that would guide future development in the station areas. Tim Burkhardt, Kimley-Horn and Associates, provided an overview of the preliminary study which included regional growth, assets and constraints in station areas, and corridor-wide strategies to encourage transit oriented development. Discussion followed. B. Review of upcoming schedule and other updates. Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist stated that the next Planning Commission meeting would take place Wednesday, September 18, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. 8. ADJOURNMENT Hearing no further comments from the Planning Staff or Planning Commission, Chair Melander asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Commissioner Burke moved, seconded by Commissioner Alwin to adjourn the meeting at 9:29 p.m. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. ctfully Submitted, Murphy, Planning Dep ment istant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on Meeting Date: September 18, 2013 Agenda Item: Case Number: PC13-37-ZS Staff Reviewer: Kathy Bodmer Petition for: Summary of issues: CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PROJECT Hunter Forrest Applicant: Manley Development Manley Development requests consideration of the Hunter Forrest development which would require the following land use actions: L Rezoning from "R-1" (Single family, 40,000 minimum lot) to "R-3" (Single family, 11,000 minimum lot) 2. Subdivision by preliminary plat to create 16 lots for single family development. The petitioners wish to develop three large rural estate parcels located on the east side of Galaxie Avenue south of the Dahle Oaks at 12842, 12866 and 12896 Galaxie Avenue. The three parcels total approximately 7.4 acres in size after right-of-way is dedicated for Galaxie Avenue. The Planning Commission reviewed the Sketch Plan for the project at their August 17, 2013, meeting. One of the significant issues that was discussed was the Taylor property at 12896 Galaxie Avenue and the fact that it was not initially included in the development proposal. Since the time of the Sketch Plan, the developer has worked with the Taylors and is now including the Taylor property in the development. The following is a quick summary of some of the important issues related to the project: • The three parcels are heavily wooded, so a tree preservation and tree mitigation plan will need to be reviewed by the City's Natural Resources staff. The petitioners are exploring whether they will dedicate conservation easements to ensure long-term maintenance of the wooded areas in the rear yard of the newly established lots. • The internal street is dedicated as a 50' right-of-way with a 32' wide street. The right- of-way will need to be increased to 54' or the street will need to be reduced to 26' to provide adequate room for snow storage. MMARY Application Date: August 22, 2013 The grading plan currently shows grading for only the installation of the street, cul-de- sac and infiltration basin. The petitioners state that they are a custom builder and that the pad sites are graded out once the home design is selected. The grading plan will need to include the building pad sites to evaluate drainage between lots, driveway slopes and house pad elevations for sanitary sewer connections. The tree mitigation plan will need to be revised to reflect the revised grading plan. • Two lots in the subdivision do not meet the lot width requirements of the Zoning Code and Subdivision Code and will need to be reconfigured or a variance will be needed. • Sidewalk will be required along the Frost Point Court cul-de-sac. Recommended Open the public hearing, receive comments, close the public hearing. It is the policy of Actions: the Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public hearing.

Zoning: The petitioners request a rezoning of the property from "R-1" (Single family, 40,000 sq. ft. min. lot) to "R-3" (Single family, 11,000 sq. ft. min. lot). The petitioners state that the zoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and consistent with the zoning of the properties to the east and west which have a minimum lot size of 11,000 sq. ft. The City Council approved a rezoning of "R-2" (Single family 18,000 sq. ft. min. lot) for the Dahle Oaks development on the east side of Galaxie Avenue in 2003 and the Eastwood Ridge 2 Addition development on the west side of Cedar Avenue in 2005. The City Council noted that the topography of the parcels, mature trees and wetlands were all considerations for the R-2 zoning. Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat subdivides the Broden, Berg and Taylor properties into 16 lots for single family development. Outlot A will be dedicated to the City for stormwater ponding and infiltration. A 50' right-of-way is shown dedicated for the extension of Frost Point Way, a local public street, south and west out to Galaxie Avenue. Frost Point Way aligns with Galaxie Place to the west. An internal cul-de-sac, Frost Point Court, provides internal access for seven of the lots in the subdivision. See Site Plan comments below concerning the Frost Point Way right-of-way width issue. At 7.4 total acres, the density of the development is 2.2 units/acre. The smallest lot is 11,002 sq. ft., while the average lot size is 15,247 sq. ft. A 15' x 266' non-contiguous strip parcel is shown platted as Outlot B. The property was owned by the owner of the middle of the three properties (Berg). The strip parcel abuts several single family parcels south of the subject plat. Two lots in the subdivision do not meet the subdivision and zoning code requirements for lot width at the right-of-way and lot width at the front setback line. They will need to be reconfigured or a variance will be needed. The developer has discussed the idea of dedicating conservation easements over the rear yard area of some of the parcels in the development to preserve the mature trees. A conservation easement would require the property owners to maintain the area in a natural state and would be executed in connection with the development agreement. Site Plan: The site plan shows the layout of the buildable areas of the 16 single family lots in the subdivision. The site plan shows the buildable area of the lots, not necessarily the expected building footprints. The actual buildings will be smaller than the pad sites that are shown on the plans. Sidewalk is shown extended from the west side of Frost Point Way south and then west out to Galaxie Avenue. Sidewalk was constructed on only one side of Frost Point Way to help preserve trees in the Dahle Oaks development and the same consideration is requested for this development. No sidewalk is shown along the Frost Point Court cul-de-sac and will be required. 3 Within the 50' right-of-way, construction of a 32' street is shown, resulting in a 9' wide boulevard. The City Engineer notes that the boulevard is not large enough to accommodate snow storage. So, the petitioners will need to either dedicate a 54' wide right-of-way or construct a 26' wide street with parking on only one side of the street. Engineering Issues: Grading Plan: The City Engineer reviewed the grading plan and his memo is included in the staff report. The grading plan shows the grading limits for only the construction of the internal street, cul-de-sac and infiltration basin. No grading is shown of the building pad sites. The petitioners state that they are custom home builders and that the building pads aren't graded until the new owner selects a home design. The City Engineer notes that grading for the building pad areas is needed to evaluate drainage between the lots, driveway slopes and building pad elevations. As a result, the grading plan will need to be revised to include the building pad areas, which will increase the number of trees to be removed. Given the size of the lots in relation to the proposed building pads, saving trees in the front and side yards will be a significant challenge. Construction traffic will be required to enter and exit the site from Galaxie Avenue to help to minimize impacts to the Dahle Oaks neighborhood to the north. Municipal Utilities: The City Engineer reviewed the development and stated that sanitary sewer is readily available to the site. Water will need to be looped from Dahle Oaks and connected to the trunk line on the west side of Galaxie Avenue. An infiltration basin is shown in Outlot A. Stormwater calculations have been provided, but must be revised as required by the City Engineer. See attached memo. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The plans show that Frost Point Way will be extended from its current terminus in the Dahle Oaks development south and then west to Galaxie Avenue, where it aligns with the Galaxie Place cul-de-sac to the west. The 16 single family parcels are expected to generate 160 new trips per day on Galaxie Avenue. Galaxie Avenue, which is designated as a major collector street, has a traffic volume of 7,100 AADT (average annual daily traffic) according to the 2010 Minnesota Department of Transportation traffic counts map. The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan estimates that traffic volume will grow along this portion of Galaxie Avenue to 12,900 ADT in 2030. The right-of-way of Frost Point way must be increased from 50' to 54' or the width of the street will need to be reduced from 32 to 26' with parking on only one side to provide a boule that is large enough to accommodate now storage. Natural Resources Management Issues: Landscape Plan: A landscape plan is not required for a single family development proposal. The subdivision ordinance requires a minimum of one front yard tree per lot. The developer would also need to mitigate for tree removal as required by the City's Natural Resources Management Ordinance. Tree Inventory/Mitigation: The three properties are heavily wooded, so a tree inventory and tree mitigation plan will be required in connection with this development proposal. Jeff Kehrer reviewed the tree mitigation plan and determined that some of the trees that are shown to be replaced are boxelder or diseased trees which would not need to be replaced. So, the total inches that will need to be mitigated will be less than the amount indicated. The table below indicates Mr. Kehrer's revised calculations. However, it should be noted that the tree mitigation plan only shows tree removal in connection with the installation of the streets and infiltration area. As a result, the tree mitigation plan will need to be revised to address the additional tree removal that will occur with the grading of the building pad sites. Wetland Delineation: The City's Natural Resources staff reviewed the report submitted by Arrowhead Environmental Consulting and concluded there are no wetlands on the three parcels. 4 Mitigatio n Plan Kehrer's Calculation Total Inches to be Removed: 2,193" 1,730" Tree Mitigation Required: 219.3" 173.0" Tree Mitigation Shown: 222" Number of 3" Trees to be planted 74 58 Within the 50' right-of-way, construction of a 32' street is shown, resulting in a 9' wide boulevard.

Pedestrian Access: The City's trail and sidewalk policy would normally require the construction of sidewalk along both sides of Frost Point Way. However, when the Dahle Oaks development was considered, the City required sidewalk on only the south side of Frost Point Way to reduce the right-of-way width to help save trees in the development. Sidewalk is needed along the Frost Point Court cul-de-sac. Dedication of escrow for future trail along Galaxie Avenue will also be required. Public Safety Issues: None identified at this time. Recreation Issues: Cedar Knolls Park is located across Galaxie Avenue from the subject property. Cedar Knolls Park is classified as a neighborhood park and contains playground equipment, tennis courts, a natural area and pathways. A cash-in- lieu-of-land park dedication will be required for this development. Signs: No sign approvals are given at this time. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation of any signs. Public H earing Co mments: To be taken. Attachments: 1. Natural Resources Memo 2. Engineering Memo 3.

Oblique Aerial City of Apple 11 Valley MEMO Public Works Department TO: Kathy Bodmer, City Planner FROM: Jeff Kelarer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: September 13, 2013 SUBJECT: HUNTER FORREST TREE INVENTORY AND LANDSCAPE PLAN Tree Inventory Based on the developer's tree inventory, there are 390 significant trees on the 7.41 acre Hunter Forrest project site. Tree species consist of 19 species with oak, elm and boxelder making up approximately 62% of the tree population (detail sheet attached). The developer will remove 115 significant trees for the initial grading to construct the proposed public streets. Tree removal for grading custom home pads and associated drainage is not shown or included in the above figures. Please submit a detailed grading plan. After a field check of the proposed tree removal for grading the public streets, a number of significant trees would not require mitigation due to poor health and defects. The revised total removed diameter-inches is 1,730 compared to the developers total of 2,193. Planting 58 three- inch caliper trees will satisfy City tree mitigation requirements. Landscape Plan The proposed landscape plan shows the above trees being planted in front yards of the proposed home sites and existing driveway entrances off Galaxie Avenue. All trees should be planted a minimum of 8' behind the public sidewalk or 20' behind the back of curb to minimize future sidewalk uplifting. This designated area provides improved growing conditions for trees due to reduced exposure to road salt, hot and cold road influenced ground temperatures, and future right- of-way utility disturbances and conflicts. The proposed tree species list includes two species of autumn blaze maple which have silver maple root stock and are not allowed by City Ordinance for tree mitigation (Sec 152.46B). These will have to be replaced with substitute species. Black Hills spruce and Scotch pine are proposed for planting also. Evergreen tree locations will need to take into account mature tree size and potential visibility restrictions at street intersections, driveways, and road curves.

Applicant: Independent School District 196 Agenda Item: 6A Case Number: PC13-35-SB Staff Reviewer: Kathy B(:)drrier Petition for: CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PROJECT ISD 196 ECFE/ECSE/ABE Building RY Application Date: August 8, 2013 Meeting Date: September 18 2013 Request from Independent School District 196 for consideration of the following actions at 14445 Diamond Path: Subdivision of a 13.7-acre parcel into two lots. • Site Plan Review/Building Permit Authorization for construction of a 2-story, 52,000 sq. ft. building for early childhood family education (ECFE), early childhood special education (ECSE) and adult basic education (ABE). Summary of Independent School District 196 requests consideration of subdivision by preliminary plat and site Issues: plan review/building permit authorization to construct a 52,000 sq. ft. building at 14445 Diamond Path. The request to relocate a cold storage building, outdoor storage area, and fuel dispensing area have been postponed until the "P" (Institutional) zoning district can be amended to address these items. The ECFE building is a permitted use in the "P" (Institutional) zoning district, so the School District wishes to move forward with only the ECFE building at this time. The public hearing for the project was held at the September 4, 2013, meeting. At the meeting residents west of the School District property on 144 Street raised a concern about traffic generation and speed on 144 Street W. A traffic study was submitted Friday which is included in the staff report, but has not yet been reviewed and analyzed by the engineering staff. Staff review comments will be delivered the night of the meeting. The preliminary plat was revised based upon comments raised at the September 4, 2013, Planning Commission meeting. The long narrow leg is removed from the southern part of Lot 2 to meet the lot width requirements. A cul-de-sac is shown dedicated on the School District property to terminate Drake Path. An extension of Drake Path to Diamond Path and a 1.5-acre expansion of Tintah Park were "officially mapped" through the School District property in 1989 and will need to be addressed in connection with the preliminary plat. The City will need to consider whether the ordinance that amended the official map should be repealed. A condition of approval of the preliminary plat should state that if the City Council votes to not repeal the ordinance that the preliminary plat will need to be revised to show the mapped street. The landscape plan was revised showing a trail connection from 144 Street W. to Drake Path which will serve as a connection for the Barbara Savanick Trail. The Engineering and Parks Departments would like to review the trail location in more detail to confirm the crossing of 144 Street W. Screening of the School District property from residential properties to the west is a concern. The landscape plans show extensive tree plantings throughout the site to help screen the development from the residential properties to the west. Because the project includes removal of mature trees, a tree mitigation plan has been submitted which will need to be reviewed by the Natural Resources staff. Recommended As of this writing, staff has not had a chance to review the Traffic Study, the Tree Mitigation Plan and Actions: it appears that there are still outstanding issues related to the stormwater calculations. As a result, staff is not yet ready to make a recommendation concerning the project. Staff will provide additional review and comments at the meeting.

INS-Institutional P-Institutional INS-Institutional P-Institutional LD-Low Density Residential 2-6 units/acre R-3 Single family 11,000 sq. ft. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for "INS" (Institutional) uses. A facility for early childhood family education, early childhood special education, and adult basic education would be consistent with the Plan. The Plan notes the importance of preserving the vitality, social interaction and cohesiveness of residential neighborhoods. Buffers can help to protect property values, provide neighborhood identification and promote aesthetically pleasing developments. Landscaping materials, berms, distance, fencing, site and building orientation and other design methods can be used to create effective buffers. Zoning: The property is located in the "P" (Institutional) zoning district which allows for public and quasi-public uses including schools, public libraries, parks, playgrounds and churches. A facility for early childhood family education, early childhood special education and adult basic education is a permitted use in the zoning district. Zoning amendments for the fueling area and fenced outdoor storage will be addressed at a future time. Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat of Rosemount School District 2 Addition involves the subdivision of the unplatted 13.7-acre School District property into two parcels. In 1989 when the Rolling Ridge development was approved west of this 2 property, the extension of Drake Path was "officially mapped" through the School District property. In addition, an area of about 1.5 acres was also officially mapped north of the Drake Path extension which would have expanded Tintah Park. It appears that in the late 1980s, there was an expectation that the School District would redevelop their property and that a street extension would be needed. However, given the proposed investment in this new facility, it appears that the School District is not likely to sell off additional property for further development in the future. As a result, the City may consider repealing the ordinance that officially mapped the street and terminate Drake Path into a cul-de-sac. The preliminary plat was revised to address the issues raised at the previous Planning Commission meeting. The long narrow leg of Lot 2 was removed to meet the minimum lot width requirements. In addition, a cul-de-sac is shown dedicated to permanently terminate Drake Path. The plat is adjacent to Diamond Path (Co. Rd 33) which requires review and approval by Dakota County in accordance with the County's Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The Dakota County Plat committee reviewed the plat and their comments are attached. Site Plan: The new 2-story 52,000 sq. ft. ECFE/ECSE/ABE building will be constructed on southwest portion of the site with the back of the building serving as a retaining wall. The main entrance to the building will be from the southeast side of the building with the parking lot on the east side of the building. Access to the parking lot will be taken from 144 Street and the internal private drive and from Diamond Path through the bus barn service area. Bus drop off will occur on the upper level of the site with the bus entrance on the second story of the building. The site plan was revised to show a connection of trail from 144 Street to the building. In addition, a trail connection from 144 Street wraps around the west edge of the property providing a missing link to the Barbara Savanick trail. Parking Calculation: A total of 75 parking spaces would be required on the site based on a typical school; 110 spaces are shown on the plan. A total of 339 parking spaces are available on the bus barn property, the ECFE property and the Dakota Ridge property; the total number of required parking spaces is 329 for the three parcels. Cross parking with Dakota Ridge, a school with relatively low parking demand, should provide for adequate parking overflow if needed. The School District provided a parking analysis based on the classes planned for the building which estimates a need for a maximum of 110 spaces on the site Grading Plan: Significant reshaping and grading of the site is proposed. The low area of the site is shown to be raised about 10' so that the second story is serviced by a bus drop-off lane on the upper portion of the property. The new ECFE building will be cut into the hill and will act as a retaining wall. Retaining walls are shown along the edge of the hill. Removal of significant trees in the buffer areas is also proposed which will require a tree mitigation plan. The berm on the south side of the site adjacent to 144 Street which currently screens the metal clad cold storage building is to be removed. The will allow direct view of the new ECFE building from 144 Street which the School District indicates is important to ensure that drivers do not drive west past the site and into the residential neighborhood. Truck hauling in connection with the construction project will be required to access the site from the east off of Diamond Path and 144 Street. Municipal Utilities: Colin Manson, City Engineer, provided a memo outlining the engineering issues on the project. The water will be looped from Drake Path to 144 Street and sanitary sewer will be taken from 144 Street. Additional information is needed concerning the functioning of the infiltration areas including soil borings and stormwater calculations. Additional information requested by the City was received on Friday which needs to be reviewed and analyzed by the City Engineering staff. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: Given the size of the ECFE facility, a traffic study will be needed which includes trip generation and distribution calculations to evaluate impacts to local streets. • Diamond Path -- B-Minor Arterial — 120+ ROW • 144 St West -- Local Street -- 60'ROW -- 32' wide street • Drake Path -- Local Street -- 60' ROW — Currently terminates with a "T" hammerhead turn-around which is considered a temporary condition. Dedication and construction of a cul-de-sac will be reviewed in connection with this project. The City received the traffic study on Friday, so Engineering staff have not had a chance to review and comment on it. Their findings will be forwarded the night of the meeting. 3 Landscape Plan/Natural Resources: The landscape requirement for institutional uses is 2-1/2% of the value of construction of the building based on Means Construction Data. Because mature trees are proposed to be removed, the petitioner will need to provide a tree removal and mitigation plan. Parking lots with a minimum of 25 parking stalls must provide landscape islands of a minimum of 2% of the parking lot area. In this case, parking lot islands with a minimum area of 910 sq. ft. will be required. Jeff Kehrer reviewed the landscape plan and provided comments that are included in the staff report. He states that there is a nice variety of trees and shrubs shown on the plan. He notes that a significant number of trees will be planted on the west side of the site which should provide appropriate screening for the adjacent homes on Drake Path. Clarification of the white spruce is needed. Lastly, the Spring snow crabapple should be replaced with a disease-resistant crabapple species. A tree mitigation plan is required which has not yet been reviewed by Jeff Kehrer. His comments will be forwarded the night of the meeting.

The accent materials are not specified but a plan note says accent material will be metal panel system, stucco, etc., in compliance with City Code. The maximum building height allowed in the zoning district is 40', but 43'6" shown. When an average grade is calculated as defined by the code, the building meets the height requirement. The exterior elevation of the cold storage building is currently metal and is proposed to simply be moved from its current location. No changes to the exterior are proposed. This building will be visible from residential to the west and park users to the north unless adequate screening is provided. There are no specific exterior building material requirements listed for institutional buildings, but the expectation is that buildings will be constructed with "materials... normally utilized in this part of the country for permanent type construction, which are found in what is generally accepted as good architectural design and which are found to be compatible with nearby exiting buildings." Pedestrian Access: The plans were revised so that there is now a connection from 144 Street to the ECFE building. In addition, a trail connection is provided along the west edge of the site which will help provide a missing link in the Barbara Savanick trail corridor. Currently the trail drops at the School District property. Public Safety Issues: See Roy Kingsley, Fire Marshall, memo. Roy reviewed the plans and provided some of the Fire Code requirements that will need to be addressed in connection with this project including sprinkling of the building, addressing, alarms, key boxes and fire extinguishers. Relocation of the fuel pumps and fuel tanks must comply with all Fire Code requirements and will be addressed when that portion of the project moved forward. Recreation Issues: When the extension of Drake Path was mapped in connection with approvals of the Rolling Ridge subdivision to the west, there was an indication that land was to be dedicated for Tintah Park. The disposition of this "mapped" parkland will need to be addressed. 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: 1. Traffic study needed to determine whether new development will impact adjacent properties. Staff response: The traffic study was received on Friday which will be reviewed and analyzed by City Engineering staff Their findings will be forwarded the night of the meeting. 2. Does the berm along the north side of 144 Street W. have to be removed? Staff response: The School District plans show that a berm along 144 Street that currently screens the cold storage building will be removed. The School District states that the ECFE building and site are being designed so that clients will be able to easily locate the building and maneuver through the site. This requires good visibility of the building from 144 Street. The majority of vehicle trips to this building will come from the east and travel west on 144 Street to the private north-south street between Dakota Ridge School and the ECFE site. If the building is visible from 144 Street, it will help to prevent traffic from driving west past the ECFE building and into the neighborhood. 3. How will this development impact property values? Staff response: Because many different factors contribute to the value of a home, it is not possible to attribute impacts of property value on a single adjacent land use. Property values are impacted by overall City development patterns and not one specific land use. In this case, the ECFE building will be 4 constructed in compliance with the City's exterior design requirements, zoning and subdivision codes and State Building Code requirements. 4. Where is the School District getting the money to construct this project? Staff response: The Planning Commission's charge is to review the land use issues related to the request. Financing of the project would need to be addressed by ISD 196. 5. District employees are smoking in the cul-de-sac in the adjacent neighborhood area. Staff response: The School District has been asked to address this issue with its employees. Parking on public streets is legal, but the City would like the School District to provide an alternative that does not negatively impact the adjacent neighborhood. 6. Did the School District consider a different location for this facility? Staff response: Again, the Planning Commission's charge is to review the requested land use action for the property specified in the complete application. When a complete application is received, the City must review it in compliance with City procedures, codes and State law. The School District may wish to discuss how this site was selected for this facility. Attachments: 1. ISD 196 Responses to Public Hearing Comments 2. Traffic Study from Wenck Associates, Inc. 3.

Financing Office 651-423-7700 Fax 651-423-7788 The new building will be financed through Lease Levy Authority (MN Statutes 126C.40). The district currently has a lease levy in place for these programs located in the Rahncliff Learning Center and the Early Childhood Learning Center facilities. The new lease structure anticipates no change to local property taxes. The district began looking at optional lease locations with the assistance of a commercial real estate broker. Administration reviewed a number of potential locations within our district communities; however none of these properties met the established criteria related to location, size and access. Additional consideration of alternatives turned toward building a new facility on an open site. Due to limited commercial site options in ideal locations and a preference for operational savings, a study of all district-owned sites for available development capacity was conducted. Eleven of the district's sites appeared to have potential. Further study narrowed the realistic site options to three. After detailed analysis the district selected the District Service Center/Dakota Ridge/Diamond Path campus. WoId Architects and Engineers provided the district with a conceptual design for a new facility which would accommodate our operations. District staff smoking in the neighboring cul de sac The district was not aware our employees were utilizing the cul-de-sac for smoking and will ask that they refrain from doing so in the future.

The projec site is Iocated in the northwest quadrant ofthe Diamond Path/144 Street intersection. The project location is shown in Figure 1. The proposed building will be used for adult and childhood education programs. The project includes construction of a new 110 stall parking lot next to the new building. Access for the new building will utilize the existing access points on 144' Street W. and Diamond Path. The current site plan is shown in Figure 2. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS The project site contains three existing buildings. The northern portion of the site contains a bus garage/maintenance building and a district office building. The southeastern portion ofthe site contains the Dakota Ridge School. The site is bounded by Diamond Path on the east, 144 Street W. on the south, and residential uses on the north and west. Diamond Path is a five lane undivided roadway which connects this area to 140 Street W. to the north and County Road 42 to the south. The posted speed limit on Diamond Path is 45 mph. 144 Street W. is a two lane local street which extends from Diamond Path to Pilot Knob Road. The posted speed limit on 144 Street W. is 30 mph. Site access is provided via one driveway on 144 Street W. and one driveway on Diamond Path. The existing conditions are shown in Figure 3.

For the project site, the a.m. peak hour occurred from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, with 83 entering vehicles and 119 exiting vehicles. The p.m. peak hour occurred from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, with 49 entering vehicles and 111 exiting vehicles. The total daily volume is 1,450 vehicles. For Diamond Path Elementary, the a.m. peak hour occurred from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, with 130 entering vehicles and 87 exiting vehicles. The p.m. peak hour occurred from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, with 78 entering vehicles and 118 exiting vehicles. The total daily volume is 750 vehicles. On 144 Street W. west of the project access, the am. peak hour occurred from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, wth 41 eastbound vehicles and 46 westbound vehicles. The p.m. peak hour occurred from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with 37 eastbound vehicles and 62 westbound vehicles. The total daily volume is 950 vehicles. TRAFFIC FORECASTS Weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour and daily traffic forecasts were developed for the proposed building using detailed student/parent and staff information provided by the school district. Trip Generation Trip generation for the existing uses was determined through traffic count data collected at each access point. Based on this information, the existing uses generate 1,450 daily trips. The a.m. peak hour occurred from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, with 83 entering trips and 119 exiting trips. The p.m. peak hour occurred from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, with 49 entering trips and 111 exiting trips. The number of vehicle trips generated by the proposed building was based on detailed student/parent and staff information provided by the school district. Information for Adult Basic Education (ABE), Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE), and Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) users was included in the trip generation calculations. The total trips generated by students and staff are shown in Table 1. 5 We n ���� Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #196 September 13, 2013 Trip Distribution Percentages Table 1 Trip Generation for Proposed Building Time Student/Parent Trips 12:00'1:00 pm 89 In 5:00-6:00 am 0 6:00-7:00 am 0 8:00-9:00 am 106 9:00-10:00 am 32 10:00-11:00 am 3 11:00 am-12:00 pm 57 1:00-2:00 pm 0 2:00-3:00 pm 69 3:00-4:00 pm 41 4:00-5:00 pm 10 5:00-6:00 pm 92 6:00-7:00 pm 0 7:00-8:00 pm 0 8:00-9:00 pm 0 Totals 499 Out 0 0 0 42 2 5 82 120 21 49 56 0 0 0 122 0 499 Staff In 1 2 47 39 3 2 3 0 0 0 2 5 0 0 0 O 104 As shown, the a.m. peak hour occurs from 8:00 to 9:00 with 187 total trips. The p.m. peak hour occurs from 2:00 to 3:00 with 122 total trips. On a daily basis, the proposed buliding generates 1,206 trips. The trips generated by the proposed building are spread out over the entire day due to the class schedules. This results in am and pm peaks that differ from the existing uses, the elementary school, and the adjacent street traffic. Trip distribution percentages were based on detailed geographical information for both the student/parent and staff groups. The project site is Iocated immediately west of Diamond Path, which is the closest major north/south street in the area. Diamond Path connects to 140 Street to the north and CR 42 to the south, which are the closest major east/west streets in the area. 144 Street W. is a local street which extends west to Pilot Knob Road. Based on the information provided and the existing roadway network, we estimate that 90% of the trips will use Diamond Path to access the site. The remaining 10% will use 144 Street W. to/from the west to access the site. Of the 90% from Diamond Path, we estimate that 30% will use the northern access and 70% will use the 144 Street access. 6 Trips Out 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 10 2 4 19 48 0 1 1 13 We Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE FaciIity in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #lB6 September 13, 2013 Traffic Volumes The trips were assigned to the acces driveways and the surrounding roadway sys em based on trip distribution percentages shown above.

' Q~ 7 Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #196 September 13, 2013 VEHICLE SPEEDS ON 144 STREET W. In addition to traffic volume data, vehicle speed data was also collected on 144th Street W. west of the existing access. The collected data shows a 50 percentile speed of 30 mph and an 85th percentile speed of 32 mph. The 85th percentile speed is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of vehicles travel. From an operations and safety perspective the 85th percentile speed is considered the acceptable operating speed for a roadway. In this case, the 85 percentile speed is slightly greater that the 30 mph posted speed. In order to reduce speeds, we recommend consideration of the following � Increased enforcement Additional police enforcement will remind motorists that the speed limit is 30 mph. Radar trailer. Placing a radar trailer on 144 Street will give visual speed information to each ° Speed limit signs. 30 mph speed limit signs already exist within the corridor. These signs can be enhanced with orange plaques to help bring attention to the speed limit. • Neighborhood signs. The placement of neighborhood signs at each end of 144 Street will help remind motorists of the driving conditions for this area. An example of a sign from another community 5 shown below. Other traffic calming measures can be considered and investigated. Many of these measures require roadway construction and therefore will need further study to determine feasibility and cost. 8 Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #196 September 13, 2013 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The existing uses on the site generate 1,450 trips per day. The proposed building is expected to generate 1,206 trips per day. The trips enerated by the proposed bullding are spread out over the entire day due to the class schedules. This results in am and pm peaks that differ from the existing uses, the elementary school, and the adjacent street trafflc. From a traffic operations perspective, this is a best case scenario as traffic is not concentrated at one specific time during the day. The traffic volume on 144 Street W. west of the project access is expected to increase from 950 to 1,070 vehicles per day. This level of increase equates to an average of 5 vehicles per hour over an entire day. This level of increase will not create traffic operations issues on l44"' Street. Typically a residential street can adequately accommodate up to 2,000 vehicles per day. The speed data on 144 Street shows the 85 percentile speed is greater than the 30 mph posted speed. We recommend consideration of a variety of educational items to remind motorists of the speed limit. The vast majority of motorist on 144 Street live in the area and are comfortable with the street width and condition. Additional reminders of the speed limit are needed to control the overall speed. Q. 9 ��������v« September 12, 2013 City of Ap le Valley 7100 147 Street West Apple Valley, yWN55l24 Dakota County Surveyor's Office Western Service Center • 14955 Galaxie Avenue suite # 335 • Apple Valley, MN 55124 952-8e1-7087 • Fax 952-891-7127 • www.dakotacounty.us Re: ROSEMOUNT SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 ADDITION The Dakota County Plat Commission met on September 9, 2013, to consider the preliminary plan of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 33, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The preliminary plat proposes two lots, one lot includes an existing bus garage and district office and one lot includes the proposed School District 196 building. The right-of-way needs are 60 feet of half right of way. There is one access along CSAH 33 for this proposed plat, which is a private driveway. Access spacing guidelines for CSAH 33are mile spacing for o four-lane undivided roadway. The acces spacing from 144th Street West to the private driveway access on Lot 2 is approximately 575 feet. Therefore, the access spacing does not meet the guidelines. After much discussion, the Plat Commission will allow a variance to the access spacing guidelines and will not require closure of the private driveway. However, it was noted that if there are traffic issues or safety issues in the future, the private driveway could become a restricted/right-turns only access. The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary plat provided that the described conditions are met. The Ordinance requires submittal of a final plat for review by the Plat Commission before a recommendation is made to the County Board of Commissioners. No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County Recorder's Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design of proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting process that reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, medians, etc. Please contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891'7115 or Todd Tollefson regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.

This should be clarified. Spring snow crabapple is a proposed species. Spring snow is highly susceptible to apple scab, a very common leaf fungus that causes premature leaf drop and unsightly looking trees. This problem can be avoided by using a disease resistant crabapple species. * A significant number of deciduous and coniferous tree species are shown planted along the westerly border which should provide appropriate screening for the adjacent homes along Drake Path.

CAROL J. HAVEALAND NOTARY PUBLIC — MINNESOTA DAKOTA COUNTY . My Commission Expires Dec 3, 1989 Bodmer, Kathy From: Sent: To: Subject: Tom, the School District needs City approval for the subdivision and the construction of the building. However, the and is zoned for "P" (Institutional) uses and the building they are proposing complies with the zoning district, Like Dakota Ridge, they have to go through the review and approval process. However, if the property is zoned for the use, the City has limited ability to deny the request. Feel free to contact me with questions, Kathy From: Tom Albers [rnailto:Tom.Albers@quantum.com] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 4:16 PM To: Bodmer, Kathy Cc: Tom Albers Subject: Re: Sept. 4th meeting Kathy, Thanks for the quick response. It is my understanding that the school district does not need the permission of Apple Valley to do this sort of thing. This is based on my discussions with the Apple Valley Mayor when Dakota Ridge was built on the same site. Can you confirm or deny this? Or is this somehow different?

The building is proposed to be located on the southwest part of the site off of 144th Street West. The Planning Commission will be holding the public hearing on September 4, 2013 to consider the request for the subdivision. You may be interested to know that the School District will be holding an open house to discuss the project on Thursday, August 22, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Dakota Ridge School.

I reside at 4780 144th St W which is the road that many of the individuals that will use the building will be entrancing and exiting the building. I attended the District 196 informational meeting that was held on 22August (which 1 learned about only in conversation with a neighbor) to show their proposed drawings on the building. The building planners in attendance indicated that the residents in the area were mailed letters from the city of Apple Valley advising us of this meeting on September 4th. When 1 questioned him on the notification area he motioned to the Rolling Ridge subdivision. I did not receive this letter and I reside at 4780 144th St W which is at the corner of 144th and Drumlin Court in Rolling Ridge. I am directly below the hill where this building will be built. I have spoken with at least 5 of my neighbors who have also not received letters. According to the neighbors in attendance only the individuals on Drake Path have been notified. I believe everyone on 144th St W should be notified of this September 4th meeting. We will most certainly be affected by the increase in traffic from this proposed building which will be in operation from morning to evening with the addition of 110 parking spots and buses entrancing and exiting the property several times a day, especially since this is a residential street and not built for all the traffic. Please let me know if it is possible to send letters to others on 144th St W. I wish everyone in my neighborhood to have input on September 4th with the Planning Commision on what will ultimately be affecting our neighborhood.
