Hunter Forrest - Public hearing to consider a rezoning from "R-1" (Single family, 40,000 sq. ft. minimum lot) to "R-3" (Single family, 11,000 sq. ft. minimum lot) and subdivision by preliminary plat to subdivide three parcels with a total area of 7.41 acres to create sixteen (16) lots for single family development. (PC13-37-ZS) LOCATION: 12842, 12866 and 12896 Galaxie Avenue PETITIONER: Manley Development CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 18, 2013 Page 2 of 5 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Planner Kathy Bodmer stated the applicant, Manley Development, requests consideration of the Hunter Forrest development which would require the rezoning from "R-1" (Single family, 40,000 minimum lot) to "R-3" (Single family, 11,000 minimum lot) and 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. 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 the August 17, 2013, meeting. One significant issue at that meeting 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 would need to be reviewed by the City's Natural Resources staff. The petitioners are exploring whether they would 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 would need to be increased to 54' or the street would need to be reduced to 26' to provide adequate room for snow storage. • 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 would 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 would 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 would need to be reconfigured or a variance would be needed. • Sidewalk would be required along the Frost Point Court cul-de-sac. Discussion followed. Peggy Carlson, Manley Development, provided additional information. Andy Davids, 12898 Forest Ct., reviewed a presentation and stated the neighborhood would like to partner with the City and developer to propose suggestions and amendments to the development. He reviewed concerns and objectives. He expressed concern for the second access point on Galaxie Avenue and how traffic needs to merge into one lane as cars drive north on Galaxie Avenue from McAndrews Road. He suggested, that during construction, to have a temporary access for trucks and then remove the temporary access and only have one street access into the development by way of the existing Frost Point Way. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 18, 2013 Page 3 of 5 Victor Feldman, 6888 129th Street, stated the concern he has is really more aesthetic. He said the concept of the cul-de-sac, rational for moving here and liking the area with the enclosed view and privacy, along with the tree lines really adds. He liked the tree line because it creates a visual barrier to what would be developed there and minimizes sound. He reviewed the conservation area and a tree preservation plan put together by Manley Development. He provided different options for lot layouts which included losing one of the lots for construction and asked how this would be handled with the cost for the developer. Chair Melander commented that it is not the responsibility of Planning Commission to consider economic considerations but the highest and best use of the land. The value of the homes and the cost of the development are issues outside of their area of responsibility. Chris Murgic, 12890 Forest Ct., stated his property abuts the Taylor property and there is a significant elevation change to the Taylor property. He has a rock wall and had concerns for how the grading plan may change this if there would be runoff into his backyard. Another concern he had was the elevation change of a two-story house looming large over his house. He would like to maintain as much screening as possible. He felt the density of the proposed houses zoned R-3 versus R-2, for consistency sake with Dahle Oaks and traffic flow, would be more logical for the proposed property to be zoned R-2. Paul Gerber, 12835 Foliage Avenue, expressed concern for aesthetics and elevations and liked ramblers because the lots would have to be larger and the height of the homes would not be so extreme in the proposed development. His property used to flood and he has built numerous berms. The corridors bring tremendous beauty and he sees whitetail deer, fox and turkey. He said density becomes an issue when trying to preserve and maintain the integrity of the neighborhood. Tom Troester, 12825 Foliage Avenue, stated that the plans for Dahle Oaks started out as townhomes and then became single-family houses zoned R-2. He felt if the proposed development was to be zoned R-2, lots would be bigger and more trees would be preserved. Charles Morgenroth, 12915 Galaxie Place, asked the Planning Commission to be cognizant that this would go forward and fundamentally change the neighborhood. He asked for the City to use some cautious approaches and to work with the builders and neighbors. Lisa Broden, 12842 Galaxie Avenue, stated she is the owner of one of the properties, being discussed for this development. She said the neighborhood has changed and it is their turn to sell and move on. To the east and south of them is zoned R-3 and this is what they want. Becky Moran, 7051 128th Street Ct., expressed concern for the traffic on Galaxie Avenue where the two lanes become one lane. She wanted to bring to everyone's attention that in the morning when Cedar Avenue is full people use Galaxie Avenue. She said it is difficult to exit from her neighborhood onto Galaxie Avenue. She liked what was proposed earlier that only one access from the development to Galaxie Avenue through the Dahle Oaks development be considered. She suggested a traffic study including speed be conducted if another entrance was to be added. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 18, 2013 Page 4 of 5 Carol Taylor, 12896 Galaxie Avenue, stated she owns the southern most property, and enjoys the wildlife corridor. She really wants this to be a nice looking development. Her existing house might be difficult to fit in this new development. Linda Melena, 12845 Foliage Avenue, commented she would like to see the number of homes reduced for the development in order to maintain the wooded lots. Renae Porath, 12892 Forest Ct., stated they have a line of pine trees that gives them a nice buffer where the development would be but those pine trees are dying. She was wondering if the builder would want to take them down and put in some different trees to buffer that because they are not always going to be there. The more trees they have the more water the trees would soak up so that would help eliminate any flooding and issues with flooded basements. Further discussion followed. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. and recessed for a two minute break. Commissioner Schindler left the meeting at 8:25. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. ISD 196 ECFE/ECSE/ABE Building — Consideration of a subdivision by preliminary plat of 13.7-acre unplatted parcel and site plan review/building permit to allow for construction of a 52,000 sq. ft. building for early childhood family education, early childhood special education and adult basic education. (PC13-35-SB) LOCATION: 14445 Diamond Path PETITIONER: Independent School District 196 Planner Kathy Bodmer presented the request from Independent School District 196 for consideration of a subdivision by preliminary plat of a 13.7-acre parcel into two lot and 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). 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. At the public hearing held at the September 4, 2013, residents raised concerns about traffic generation and speed on 144th Street W. A traffic study would need to be reviewed and analyzed by the engineering staff. She addressed other resident concerns from the public hearing. The preliminary plat was revised based upon comments raised at the September 4, 2013, Planning Commission meeting. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes September 18, 2013 Page 5 of 5 The landscape plan was revised showing a trail connection from 144th Street West to Drake Path which would 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 144th Street W. Screening of the School District property from residential properties to the west was 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. She stated that staff had not had the opportunity to review the Traffic Study, the Tree Mitigation Plan and that there were still outstanding issues related to the stormwater calculations. Staff was not ready to make a recommendation concerning the project. Discussion followed. 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 2, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. 8.

Draft 10-9-13 4 20 20 VALLEY PROJECT CITY OF APPLE Agenda !tern: 5A Case Number: PC13-40-CB Staff Reviewer: Thomas Lovelace APPLIANCE SMART ADDITION AND C.U.P. Applicant: 7370, LLC Application Date: September 18, 2013 SUMMARY Meeting Date: October 16, 2013 Petition for: Purpose: • Conditional Use Permit • Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization The applicant requesting approval of conditional use permit for on-sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 6,364-sq. ft. addition to an existing 49,100 sq. ft. retail building located at 7370 153r Street West. The proposed addition will be the location of a Class I restaurant and will include a 1,400 sq. ft. outdoor patio area. Summary of Issues: The site plan identifies 241 surface parking spaces that will serve the site. The current Appliance Smart use has a demand for a minimum of 41 spaces. If that use were to change to a retail store operation, the use would generate a need for a minimum of 145 spaces. The applicant has not provided an interior layout for the proposed fitness center or number of seats in proposed restaurant and patio area. Therefore, staff cannot calculate the parking demand for those two uses and for the overall development. City code requires that a fence surround the dining area and that a fencing plan be submitted with a detailed site plan for the dining area for review, which the applicant has not provided. Elevations for the west and south side of the building addition have not been submitted for City review nor has the applicant identified its exterior finish. No detailed landscape plan or material list has been submitted for review. A plan should be submitted that shows the size, location, quantity, caliper and species of all plant materials, including ground covers, and the availability of water. The proposed addition will be constructed over an existing storm sewer line, which will severely limit access to that line for maintenance or replacement purposes. The applicant will need to provide the City with an alternative storm sewer design for that portion of the site. A sidewalk connection from the parking area behind the proposed addition to the entrance of the building shall be installed. Recommended Actions: Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing.

"C" (Commercial) "RB" (Retail Business "C" (Commercial Zoning/Land Use "RB" (Retail Business) Development Project Review Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the site "C" (Commercial). The proposed addition and conditional use permit 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. The current use is a permitted use within the "RB" zoning district. The applicant is proposing to split the existing 48,944 sq. ft. building, and construct a 6,364 sq. ft. addition in the northwest corner. The west 26,360 sq. ft. will be occupied by the existing Appliance Smart retail operation and the east 22,740 sq. ft. will be the future location of a fitness center. Conditional Use Permit: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for on-sale liquor as part of its restaurant operation. A conditional use is a use permitted in a zoning district that is contingent upon complying with all conditions as set forth by the approving agency, in this case the City of Apple Valley. The purpose of the C.U.P. procedure is to determine if the proposed site has any unique characteristics that require special consideration to adequately accommodate the proposed use without adverse effects upon the surrounding uses. The proposed restaurant is located in the Apple Valley's downtown commercial area. Uses on property adjacent to the site consist of a Cub grocery store to the west, the Southport retail development to the north, a variety of retail uses to the east, and the future bus layover station to the south. The nearest residential dwellings are approximately 900 feet from the proposed restaurant. Access to the restaurant will be from the drive connections off 153r Street West that currently serve the Appliance Smart, Cub, Dollar Tree, and Goodwill stores. No new access drives are proposed with this restaurant addition. The zoning code states that the Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council may issue conditional use permits if it finds that the use at the proposed location meets the following standards: • Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. • Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the comprehensive plan and code provisions. • Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be compatible or similar in an architectural and landscape appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. • Will be served adequately by existing (or those proposed in the project) essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools. • Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. • Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property that does not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. • Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. • These standards apply in addition to specific conditions as may be applied throughout the code. Site Plan: The site plan shows a 6,364 sq. ft. addition that will be attached to the existing building and will be built over a portion of a 44-space surface parking lot located on the west side of the existing building. Twenty-three spaces in that west lot will be lost. The applicant is proposing to pick up those lost spaces by adding 23 spaces behind the existing building and 8 spaces behind the proposed addition. The spaces in the rear of the building will be from employee parking. The eight proposed parking spaces will be located in the common drive aisle that serves both the Appliance Smart and Cub operations by providing access to their receiving docks. Staff has concern about the potential conflicts with restaurant patrons backing out into truck traffic. The site plan identifies 241 surface parking spaces that will serve the site. The current Appliance Smart use has a demand for a minimum of 41 spaces. If that use were to change to a retail store operation, the use would generate a need for a minimum of 145 spaces. The applicant has not provided an interior layout for the proposed fitness center or number of seats in proposed restaurant and patio area. Therefore, staff cannot calculate the parking demand for those two uses and for the overall development. The applicant is proposing a 1,400 sq. ft. patio that will be located adjacent to the restaurant in the northwest comer. City code requires that a fence surround the dining area and that a fencing plan be submitted with a detailed site plan for the dining area for review, which the applicant has not provided. Grading Plan: The site will remain undisturbed with the exception of the excavation work needed for the building construction and extension of the necessary utilities to serve the proposed building addition. Elevation Drawings: The applicant has submitted an elevation plan that shows the front elevation of the existing building with proposed restaurant addition. The proposed addition will have similar banding as the existing structure and similar entry feature at the roofline. Canopies will be added over the top of the restaurant's windows. 2 Elevations for the west and south side of the building addition have not been submitted for City review nor has the applicant identified its exterior finish. Based on the look of the front elevation, one could presume that finish will be similar to the existing building. If so, this finish will be require for all sides of the building. Landscape Plan: No detailed landscape plan or material list has been submitted for review. A plan should be submitted that shows the size, location, quantity, caliper and species of all plant materials, including ground covers, and the availability of water. City code requires that the minimum cost of landscaping materials (live plant material excluding sod) for industrial projects shall be 21/2% of the estimated building construction cost based on Means construction data. A detailed planting price list shall be required for verification of the City's 21/2% landscaping requirement at the time of submission of plans for a building permit. Availability of Municipal Utilities: All public utilities necessary to serve the proposed building addition are currently available onsite. Sanitary sewer and watermain lines will be extended north from their current location behind the existing building to the new addition. Storm sewer lines are currently located within the west parking lot. The proposed addition will be constructed over one of those lines, which will severely limit access to that line for maintenance or replacement purposes. The applicant will need to provide the City with an alternative storm sewer design for that portion of the site. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation Vehicular access will be available via drive lanes located along 153r Street West, a minor collector with a design capacity of 5,000-15,000 trips per day. The street has been designed to accommodate the expected traffic that will be generated by this proposed development. Pedestrian Access: A public sidewalk is located along 153 Street West. A private sidewalk located along the east side the westerly common drive. A sidewalk connection from the parking area behind the proposed addition to the entrance of the building shall be installed. Signs: The submitted plans show building signage on the front elevation. No signage details have been included with their submission. Any approval of the site plan/building permit authorization request does not constitute sign approval. A separate sign application will need to be submitted and approved prior to erecting any signs. Public Hearing Comments: Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on a public hearing item the night of the public hearing.

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 has 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 Planning Commission held a public hearing for this project on September 4, 2013, and reviewed some of the findings at its second meeting on September 18, 2013. At the second meeting, the following items remained outstanding issues: 1. Storm Water Management: All of the storm water calculations have been confirmed by the City Engineer and he has no outstanding issues. 2. Tree Mitigation: The Natural Resources Coordinator, Jeff Kehrer, reviewed the tree mitigation plan and found that the total tree removal on the site will be 212 diameter inches which requires 10% replacement or 21" of replacement trees. The proposed landscape plan shows that 231.5" of trees will be planted which will satisfy the tree replacement requirements. Mr. Kehrer also notes that the majority of trees to be removed will be green ash, boxelder and cottonwood. 3. Traffic Study: A preliminary traffic study was conducted by the School District which provided traffic generation, distribution and existing speeds. Based on the trip generation information that was received, the City Engineer asked the City's Traffic Engineer to analyze how the additional traffic resulting from the new ECFE building would impact the 144 Street and Diamond Path intersection. The Traffic Engineer analyzed the traffic volumes and determined that the intersection would operate at a level of service C initially after the building is constructed, but in 5 to 7 years the level of service would degrade to an F. Colin Manson, City Engineer, notes in his attached memo that a service level of C is desirable, level E is a significant concern, while a level of service F is unacceptable. Based upon the findings of the traffic study, it will be necessary to make improvements to the 144th Street and Diamond Path intersection. This will likely require additional right-of-way easements from the Diamond Path Elementary and Dakota Ridge School properties to widen the intersection. As a result, a cost share arrangement for the cost of improving the intersection and the necessary right-of-way easements will need to be determined. The details of this agreement will be memorialized in the development agreement. Recommended Staff review of the project finds that the proposed development substantially complies with the Actions: requirements of the City Code. In addition, issues identified by City Staff, the Planning Commission and the public have been adequately addressed. A few minor issues remain which are addressed below as conditions of approval of the project. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the development as follows: a) Recommend approval of the subdivision by preliminary plat of Rosemount School District 2nd Addition with the following conditions: i. If the City does not repeal Ordinance No. 433, which extends Drake Path right-of- way east through the property to Diamond Path and a portion of property for Tintah Park on the Official Map, the final plat shall include the dedication of the Drake Path right-of-way through the property east to Diamond Path and the portion of property for Tintah Park in accordance with the approved ordinance. ii. The intersection of 144 Street and Diamond Path shall be improved to accommodate the vehicular traffic generated from the proposed development. A development agreement shall be executed and recorded as a condition of the final plat approval between the School District and the City which provides the terms and conditions of the installation, the allocation of the payment of costs and the dedication of right-of-way easement for the 144 Street and Diamond Path intersection improvements. b) Recommend approval of the site plan and give building permit authorization to construct a 2-story, 52,000 sq. ft. building for early childhood, family, adult and special education on Lot 1, Rosemount School District 2 Addition, subject to compliance with all City Codes and the following conditions: i. Approval of the Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization is subject to approval of the preliminary and final plat and execution of related development agreements if required. ii. A nursery bid list shall be submitted at the time of application of the building permit which confirms that the value of the landscape plantings meets or exceeds 2- 1/2% of the value of construction of the building based on Means Construction Data. iii. Truck hauling in connection with the construction project shall access the site only from the east off of Diamond Path and 144 Street and the District Service Drive on Diamond Path. iv. The construction shall be in accordance with the plans received in City Offices on September 13, 2013, and revised plans received October 10, 2013.

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 that 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. The plans show that the School District will preserve an existing buffer on the southwest part of the site and create a new landscape buffer on the northwest side of the site to help screen views from the residential properties located west of the District's property. 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 2nd 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 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 garage northern service drive. A bus drop off will be located on north side of the building on the upper level of the site. The site plan was revised to show a connection of trail from 144t1 to the building. In addition, a trail connection from 144 Street traverses the west edge of the property which will provide a walking path for the students as well as provide a missing portion of the Barbara Savanick trail. Parking Calculation: A total of 75 parking spaces would be required based on a typical school; 110 spaces are shown on the plan. When looking at the three School District properties north of 144 Street together, a total of 329 parking spaces are required; 339 parking spaces are available. Teachers and staff will park on the east side of the ISD District Annex building and use the crosswalk to access the building. Cross parking with Dakota Ridge School, a school with relatively low parking demand, should provide for adequate parking overflow if needed. 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 44t1 and sanitary sewer will be taken from 144 Street. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The following streets are adjacent to the development site: • 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. Traffic Study: A preliminary traffic study was conducted by the School District which provided traffic generation, distribution and existing speeds. The study found the following: • Existing trip generation from the ISD 196 bus garage property, is 1,450 trips per day — the proposed development will generate 1,206 trips per day. 3 • 90% of trips will use Diamond Path to access site, while 10% will use 144 Street to/from west. Of the 90% of the trips entering site from the east, 30% will use the northern bus garage service drive access from Diamond Path and 70% will use 144 Street access. Traffic on 144 Street west of project is expected to increase from 950 to 1,070 vehicles per day, an increase of 120 vehicles per day. Based on the trip generation information that was received, the City Engineer asked the City's Traffic Engineer to analyze how the additional traffic resulting from the new ECFE building would impact the 144 Street and Diamond Path intersection. The Traffic Engineer analyzed the traffic volumes and determined that the intersection would operate at a level of service C initially after the building is constructed, but in 5 to 7 years the level of service would degrade to an F. Colin Manson, City Engineer, notes in his attached memo that a service level of C is desirable, level E is a significant concern, while a level of service F is unacceptable. Based upon the findings of the traffic study, it will be necessary to make improvements to the 144th Street and Diamond Path intersection. This will likely require additional right-of-way easements from the Diamond Path Elementary and Dakota Ridge School properties to widen the intersection. As a result, a cost share arrangement for the cost of improving the intersection and the necessary easements will need to be determined. The details of this agreement will be memorialized in the development agreement. 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 or 910 sq. ft. The plans were revised to include a parking lot island. Jeff Kehrer, the City's Natural Resources Coordinator, 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. The tree mitigation plan was reviewed by Jeff Kehrer and he notes that a total of 212 diameter inches will be removed which requires 10% replacement or 21". The proposed landscape plan proposes to install a total of 231.5" of trees which should more than satisfy the City Code requirements. His comments will be forwarded the night of the meeting. He notes that the majority of the trees removed will be green ash, boxelder, and cottonwood. Elevation Drawings: Two styles of brick, glass panels, and accent materials are shown for the exterior building materials. 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. 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 provide a walking path for students in the building. At the same time, the trail on the west side of the site could help provide a missing link in the Barbara Savanick Trail corridor. Currently the trail drops at the School District property which means a trail user traveling north must cut through a parking lot behind Diamond Path Elementary School north to 144 Street, then west to Drake Path, and then north on Drake Path to Tintah Park. The new trail segment will help to provide a more direct connection. 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. 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. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee will review the proposed Barbara Savanick Trail link at their November 14, 2013, meeting. 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. 4 Public Hearing Comments: 1. Traffic study needed to determine whether new development will impact adjacent properties. Staff response: A traffic study was conducted by the School District which found that the majority of the traffic generated by the new building will enter and exit the site from the east to Diamond Path. A follow-up study conducted by the City's Traffic Engineer found that improvements will need to be made to the 144 Street and Diamond Path intersection to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the new building. If the intersection does not function well, drivers may go west through the neighborhood as an alternative. Specific details related to additional right-of-way easements and cost sharing will be negotiated and finalized in connection with the development agreement. 2. Does the berm along the north side of 144 Street W. need 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 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. New: City Engineer Memo re: Traffic Study 2.

City of Apple Valley TO: Kathy Bodmer, Associate City Planner FROM: Colin G. Manson, City Engineer DATE: October 11, 2013 SUBJECT: ISD 196 Early Childhood Family Education Building MEMO Public Works Department The City of Apple Valley and our traffic engineering consultant conducted an analysis of 144 Street and at the intersection of 144 Street and Diamond Path as it relates to the ISD 196 development proposal. This study included an evaluation of the adjacent roadway segments immediately following completion of the proposed building and longer term consequences of increased traffic loading onto the adjacent public roadway system. A significant portion of the analysis focused on the level of service and associated delay at the intersection of 144 Street and Diamond Path. Under current conditions, the 144 Street leg of this intersection operates at a level of service B with approximately 12 seconds of delay per vehicle during both the AM and PM peaks. With the proposed development, this leg of the intersection is projected to operate with approximately 15 seconds of delay per vehicle during both the AM and PM peaks. The level of service during the AM peak falls to C while the PM peak maintains a level of service B. The intersection of the northerly access and Diamond Path was also analyzed. In both the existing and post build conditions this intersection operates at a level of service B. In general it is desirable to maintain operations at a level of service C. A level of service E becomes a significant concern and a level of service F is unacceptable. Operation of the intersection was also projected into the future. Under existing conditions with no additional traffic associated with the proposal, it is expected the 144 Street leg of the intersection will fall to a level of service F in approximately 17 years. With the introduction of traffic from the proposed development, the degradation to level of service F for the 144 Street leg of the intersection is projected to occur in 5-7 years. As operation of the intersection degrades, traffic patterns will begin to shift westerly along 144 Street. The traffic loading from the proposed school building can be accommodated for a short term period. However, the City, County and School District will need to begin the process of identifying and developing intersection improvements to avoid failure of the intersection at 144 Street and Diamond Path. Given the accelerated timeline for degradation of traffic operations at 144 Street and Diamond Path, two main points must be addressed in the development agreement. First, the development agreement must require that at the time of future intersection improvements, the school district will dedicate a reasonable amount of right of way to accommodate improvements at both the intersections of 144 Street and Diamond Path and at 145 Street and Diamond Path. Secondly, the development agreement shall address the requirement that the school district will be responsible for a portion of the cost associated with future intersection improvements that may be necessary at both 144 Street and 145 Street. The cost share scenario would be negotiated at the time of the future intersection improvements. Bodmer, Kathy Fromm:' Sent: To: Subject: Kathy, I reviewed the revised landscape plan, tree survey, and tree preservation plan for the proposed ISD 2 Addition. The revised landscape plan has satisfied my previous comments on the preliminary landscape plan. Total tree removal is 212 diameter-inches which requires 10% replacement or 21". The proposed Iandscape plan proposes 231.5", which more than satisfies City Code requirements. The majority of trees removed are green ash, boxelder, and cottonwood.

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 Iocal property taxes. Consideration of options 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 Iimited 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.

This should be clarified. w 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. Let me know if you have any questions.

MEMO Fire Department September 25, 2013 City of Apple VaIley 7100 147 Street West Apple Valley, MN 55124 Re: ROSEMOUNT SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 ADDITION The Dakota County Plat Commission met on September 23, 2013, to consider the final plan of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 33, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. As discussed at the September 9 meeting, the acces spacing between 144 Street West and the private access driveway along this plat to the north does not meet spacing guidelines. The Plat Commission will allow the private driveway access to remain at this time. However, it was discussed that if there are safety issues or traffic issues in the future, the private driveway may become a restricted/right-turns only access. Also, with any future traffic control change at the 144 Street West and CSAH 33 (Diamond Path) intersection, the private access location would be evaluated again by Dakota County. The right-of- way needs are 60 feet of half right of way. The Plat Commission has approved the final plat and will recommend approval to the County Board of Commissioners when the plat is submitted in signed mylar form. Mylars should be submitted to the County Board within one year of the Plat Commission's final approval. 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.

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 33 are 1 /4- mile spacing for a four-lane undivided roadway. The access 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.

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. attended the District 196 informational meeting that was held on 22August (which I 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 I 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.

Trip Generation Trip generation for the existing uses was determined through traffic count dat collected at each acces point. Based on this information, the existing uses generate 1,450 daily trips. The am. 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. lnformation 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 r i c:�� Technical Memo Trafflc Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #196 September 13, 2013 Time 5:00-6:00 am 6:00-7:00 am 7:00-8:00 am 8:00-9:00 am 9:00-10:00 am 10:00-11:00 am 11:00 am-12:00 pm 12:00'1:00 pm 1:00-2:00 pm 2:00-3:00 pm 4:00-5:00 �~ �.""'��"'". 5:00-6:00 pm Trip Distribution Percentages In Out O 0 O 106 32 3 57 89 O 69 41 10 92 Table 1 Trip Generation for Proposed Building Student/Parent Trips 0 O O 42 2 5 82 120 21 49 56 O In 1 2 47 39 3 2 3 0 2 5 Staff Trips Out O 0 O O 0 0 6 10 2 4 19 6:00-7:00 pm 7:00-8:00 pm 8:00-9:00 pm Totals O 0 0 499 0 122 0 499 0 O 0 104 48 0 1 1 13 104 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 building generates 1,206 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 located immediately west of Dianiond 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 30Y6 will use the northern access and 70% will use the 144 Street access. 6 Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN Independent School District #196 September 13, 2013 Traffic Volumes The trips were assigned to the acces driveways and the surrounding roadway system based on trip distribution percentages shown above.

Only a small portion is expected to use 144 Street wes of the existing access. The vast majority of trips are expected to use Diamond Path to access the site. Technical Memo Traffic Study for Proposed New ECFE/ECSE/ABE Facility in Apple Valley, MN lndependent 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 35th percentile speed is slightly greater that the 30 mph posted speed. In orderto reduce speeds, we recommend consideration ofthe following items: 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 motorist. If speeding, the display will remind motorists to slow down. " 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 exampie of a sign from another community is shown below. Othertraffic calming measures can be considered and investigated. Many ofthese measures require roadway construction and therefore will need further study to determine feasibility and cost. 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 bullding is expected to generate l,2O6 trips per day. The trips generated 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 traffic. 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 144= 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 motorists on 144 Street live in the area and are comfortable with the street width and condition. Additional reminders ofthe speed limit are needed to control the overall speed. 9 �������
