Quarry Ponds West — Public hearing to consider the subdivision of 10.5-acre outlot into 33 single-family lots. (PC 14-11-5) LOCATION: Northwest corner of CSAH 46 and future Johnny Cake Ridge Road PETITIONER: Arcon Land III, LLC and Fischer Sand and Aggregate, LLP CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 2014 Page 2 of 5 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. City Planner Tom Lovelace stated an application had been submitted for a preliminary plat for the subdivision of Out lot D, REGENT'S POINT, according to the proposed final plat. The applicant is proposing to plat this 10.5-acre parcel into 33 single-family residential lots. Access to the proposed subdivision would be via 157th Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, both collector streets that do not currently exist. The right-of-way for these streets would be dedicated with the REGENT'S POINT final plat. Direct access to the individual lots would be from local residential streets whose right-of-way would be dedicated with this plat. No direct access from the lots within this plat to 157th Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road would be allowed. A rezoning request of the property from "SG" to a "PD" (Planned Development) was made with the earlier Quarry Ponds development request. The Planning Commission did recommend approval of the rezoning and the City Council will consider it at the same time as final consideration of the Quarry Ponds final plat, which has been renamed REGENT'S POINT. The project is proposed to be done in two phases. The most southerly 16 lots would be developed in the first phase, with the remaining 17 lots developed in the second phase. Scott Johnson, Arcon Land III, Inc., introduced himself and offered to answer questions. Linda Garrett-Johnson, 15681 Finch Avenue, expressed concern for the traffic on future 157th Street West that would be generated when the development is built. Her concern was for the children and residents who live there and she suggested the installation of stop signs at a minimum if a signal light cannot be installed. Gene Rechtzigel, 6533 — 160th Street West, questioned if there was going to be gravel mining on these phases and stated he objects to the graveling mining. He inquired why he was not given notice of this development plan because he owns a strip of land that borders the development. He commented that when Regatta was developed they were not allowed to include the pond as parkland. He questioned if Fischer Sand and Gravel and Arcon Land III would be allowed to include the pond as parkland. He said that is City land. He objects to things not being done fairly and squarely. He expressed concern for lot sizes and that when Regatta was designed the Planning Commission made sure there were large lot sizes for single family homes. He thinks this development should be required to have the same lot sizes as the Regatta development and believes the property values in Regatta could be hurt. He read a letter dated May 7, 2014, he submitted to the City. Carla Rechtzigel, 15973 Fennel Ct, commented she does not think the pond should be disturbed. Wildlife and birds exist there now. Zack Stadem, 14644 Hayes Rd., asked why the road could not wrap around the pond instead of going through it. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 2014 Page 3 of 5 Larry Russell, 15746 Finch Avenue, expressed concern for the traffic and safety of the children in the area. He said the wildlife is incredible and it would be sad to see it go. He inquired when the Greenway Trail System plans had been changed. He thought the Greenway would be going through there and that was one of the reasons he had picked the lot he did. He thought it would be more of a buffer area. Darrin Larson, 15688 Finch Avenue, shared the same concern for the children and their safety on 157th Street. He suggested for 157th Street to have some turns on it. He believes that will slow down the traffic. There is a lot of traffic on the street and people do not stop for stop signs. He agreed with others that property values are a big concern as well. Sara Rechtzigel, 15973 Fennel Ct., inquired what the speed limit would be on 157th Street because there is heavy traffic on Pilot Knob Road by Target and believes that is 55 mph. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. Chapter 155 Amendments — Consideration of Amendments to Chapter 155 (Zoning) related to number of Council votes required for rezoning, window wells, front decks with railing, and rooftop mechanical unit setback. (PC14-08-Z) LOCATION: City Wide PETITIONER: City of Apple Valley Planner Kathy Bodmer reviewed the request to consider an ordinance amending the zoning code which would include the following provisions: • Revise the number of City Council votes required for rezoning and zoning amendments. • Allow window wells to encroach into side and rear setbacks. • Allow decks, stoops and uncovered porches that are less than 30" from grade to encroach in the front yard setback up to eight feet (8'). Remove "no railing" requirement. • Delete setback requirements for rooftop mechanical units. She stated staff reviewed Chapter 155 (Zoning) of the City Code and found several sections that require editing for purposes of clarification and/or consistency with State law. A draft ordinance had been prepared to address four minor edits that are considered housekeeping in nature. She summarized the ordinance amendments. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Scanlan moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of the draft ordinance amending Chapter 155 (Zoning) of the Code of Ordinances for purposes for consistency with State Law, clean-up and clarification with the proposed change. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 2014 Page 4 of 5 7. OTHER BUSINESS A. MVTA Layover Project — Sketch plan r'eview of zoning amendments to allow for a bus layover facility; rezoning of property from PD-507, zone 7b to zone 7a; proposed subdivision by preliminary plat of 10-acre site into two (2) lots; interim use permit for an approximately 230- space parking lot; and site plan review/building permit authorization for layover facility with approximately 600 sq. ft. building. (PC14-15-ZSB) Planner Margaret Dykes stated the applicant is requesting comments on the following: • Zoning amendments to PD-507, zone 7a to allow for a bus layover facility; • Rezoning of property from PD-507, zone 7b to zone 7a; • Subdivision by preliminary plat of the existing Apple Valley Transit Station 10-acre site into two (2) lots; • An interim use permit for a 231-space temporary parking lot; and • Site plan review/building permit authorization for a bus layover facility with an approximately 600 sq. ft. building. She provided history of the property and commented that the applicant stated the bus layover facility is needed to improve the timing of transit service for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit line, as well as MVTA local and commuter routes. Staff is supportive of the requested zoning amendment and rezoning. Staff also supports an interim use permit for the 231-space temporary parking lot for a period of five (5) years or until 2019. After that time, if MVTA still needs the temporary parking, staff believes the City should reexamine the proposed interim use permit. The preliminary site plan shows the construction of a bus layover facility with spaces for 14 buses and an approximately 600 sq. ft. building to be used by bus drivers. Kraig Klund, TKDA, an architectural and engineering firm from St. Paul, stated they are working with MVTA on this project and answered questions. Jane Kansier, Senior Project Manager for MVTA, provided additional information. 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, May 21, 2014, 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. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 2014 Page 5 of 5 MOTION: Commissioner Scanlan moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke to adjourn the meeting at 8:37 p.m. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. Respectfully Submitted, rtment Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Planning Commission on APPLICANT: Trident Development, LLC PROJECT NUMBER: PC14-14-ZSB APPLICATION DATE: April 23, 2014 60 DAYS: June 21, 2014 120 DAYS: August 20, 2014 City of Apple Val l ey ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5A May 21, 2014 Public Hearing ITEM DESCRIPTION: The Legacy of Apple Valley 6 Addition/Remington Cove Apartments STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Dykes, Planner DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Community Development Department Action Requested • Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on an item the same night as its public hearing. Summary The property owner, Trident Development, LLC, is requesting the following actions: • Subdivision by preliminary plat of a 5.21-acre lot into two lots. • Zoning Amendment for change to approved site plan. • Site Plan Review/Building permit authorization for one 101-unit apartment building. The site is located southeast of the intersection of Galaxie Avenue and Founders Lane. It is the site of the former Tuscany Apartment project, which was approved by the City in 2003. Background Zoning: The property is zoned "PD-716, zone 2". No amendment to the zoning code is required, but because this is a Planned Development district, a change to the existing Planned Development agreement is needed; this agreement will be prepared by the City Attorney. Subdivision: The applicant is requesting a subdivision by preliminary plat of the subject 5.21-acre site into two lots; the subdivision will be called The Legacy of Apple Valley Sixth Addition. Lot 1 will be 2.66 acres. Lot 2, which is where the Remington Cove apartment building will be located, will be 2.54 acres. The proposed 101-unit apartment building will be required to provide cash-in- lieu-of-land park dedication as part of the building permit authorization. Site Plan: The site plan shows a U-shaped 3-story 101-unit building with an underground garage that meets all setbacks set forth in the zoning ordinance. The future apartment building shown on the western lot (Lot 1) will be constructed at a later date. The plans show this future building will also be 101 units. The developer should provide information regarding the future construction staging of the building. Trash and recycling will be located on the first floor, and garbage tracks will pick up in the courtyard area. All mechanicals will be located in the garage. The proposed building requires 182 parking spaces (1.8/unit). The plan shows 116 parking spaces in the underground garage in the apartment, and 59 surface spaces on Lot 2 for a total of 175 spaces (1.73/unit). The plan is 7 spaces short of what is needed. The site is accessed by one drive intersecting with Founders Lane; the drive serves both the proposed and future buildings. The north drive will generally align with the exit drive that serves the commercial development (Re/Max, Vivo Kitchen) to north. Another private drive intersects with Galaxie Avenue south of the building; this is slated to be a full-access opening. The drive provides access from Foliage Avenue to Galaxie Avenue and serves the subject site, the Haralson Apartments, and the Legacy Square townhomes. No additional vehicle access will be provided from Galaxie Avenue. The driveway and parking spaces should be constructed on the entirety of Lot 2 to serve Remington Cove, but a 24-foot wide temporary driveway that connects with Galaxie Avenue should be constructed at this time on Lot 1. The permanent driveway and parking spaces will need to be installed when the future apartment building is constructed on Lot 1. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and has several issues that should be addressed by the applicant. The developer must provide information about the construction staging for Remington Cove. The Natural Resources Coordinator suggests some of the species shown on the landscape plan be substituted with others that are more appropriate for the site. The building materials consist of EIFS, face brick and stone veneer, which are consistent with the zoning code. Each unit will have a balcony. The building has suburban architecture that blends with the Kingston Green development to the south, and the Seasons at Apple Valley senior housing to the north. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1.

No change to the Comprehensive Plan designation is requested. The property is located in the Central Village Area, which was designed for higher intensity mixed uses that include "a mix of places to shop, work, live and play." The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Livable Communities impact. The City participates in the Livable Communities program. The proposed development is consistent with the City's goal of providing a range of different housing styles to provide more life-cycle housing within the community. The Remington Cove apartment building is a market rate development with a range of floor plans and unit sizes to provide a range of rental rates. Zoning: The property is zoned "PD-716, Zone 2", which allows for apartments with a minimum density of 24 units per acre and a maximum density of 47 units per acre. The proposed 101-unit apartment building will have a density of 40 units per acre. No amendment to the zoning code is required, but because this is a Planned Development district, a change to the existing Planned Development agreement is needed; this agreement will be prepared by the City Attorney. Subdivision: The applicant is requesting a subdivision by preliminar plat of the subject 5.21-acre site into two lots; the subdivision is named The Legacy of Apple Valley Sixth Addition. Lot 1 will be 2.66 acres. The future apartment building shown on the western lot (Lot 1) will be constructed at a later date. The plans show this future building will be 101 units. Lot 2, which is where the Remington Cove apartment building 3 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\052114 PC Report 1Legacy 6th Remington.docx will be located, will be 2.54 acres. There are existing drainage and utility easements on the property; these have been included on the plat. However, additional drainage and utility easements may be necessary to accommodate the relocation of utilities necessary for the proposed buildings. Recreation Issues: The development requires park dedication. The proposed 101-unit apartment building will be required to provide cash-in-lieu-of-land as part of the building permit authorization. The park dedication fee will be collected with the building permit. Site Plan: The site plan for the Remington Cove apartment, to be located on the eastern lot (Lot 2), shows a U-shaped 3-story building with an underground garage that meets all setbacks set forth in the zoning ordinance. The proposed building footprint is approximately 46,000 sq. ft.; the total building area is 137,665 sq. ft. The building is approximately 55 feet high, which complies with the Code. Trash and recycling will be located on the first floor, and garbage trucks will pick up in the courtyard area. All mechanicals will be located in the garage. The building consists of the following unit types: Studio Unit Type 1 Bedroom/1 Bath 1 Bedroom + Den/1 Bath 2 Bedroom/2 Bath 3 Bedroom/2 Bath Total 9 Count 18 12 50 12 101 Floor Area Range (sq. ft.) 541 - 617 783-791 944-1012 964-1542 1317-1622 The building amenities will include a fitness center, and a club room/party room. The applicant did not include a lighting plan with the submission. A lighting plan must be submitted so that the City can review the fixtures and ensure that no light trespass in excess of 1.0 footcandles will occur. Parking: The proposed building requires 182 parking spaces (1.8/unit). The plan shows 116 parking spaces in the underground garage in the apartment, and 59 surface spaces on Lot 2 for a total of 175 spaces (1.73/unit). The plan is seven (7) spaces short of what is needed. Additionally, the plan shows the removal of one bumpout parking area (two parking spaces) on Founders Lane. Staff believes one bumpout parking area should be added on Founders Lane so there is no net loss of on-street parking for this area. The proposed apartment will share a southern private drive with the future building to the west. This private drive also connects to the Legacy Square townhomes east of the site. There are 33 additional parking stalls in the private drive, which would alleviate any parking shortage for the first phase of the development. However, the proposed future 101-unit building may be short of parking. The developer should provide information to explain how future parking shortages will be addressed. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The site is accessed by one drive intersecting with Founders Lane; the drive serves both the proposed and future buildings. The north drive will generally align with the exit drive that serves the commercial development (Re/Max, Vivo Kitchen) to north. Another private drive intersects with Galaxie Avenue south of the building; this is a full-access opening. The drive 4 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\052114 PC Report 1Legacy 6th Remington.docx provides access from Foliage Avenue to Galaxie Avenue and serves the subject site, the Haralson Apartments, and the Legacy Square townhomes. The driveway and parking spaces on the southern private drive should be constructed on the entirety of Lot 2 to serve Remington Cove, but a 24-foot wide temporary driveway that connects with Galaxie Avenue should be constructed at this time on Lot 1. The permanent driveway and parking spaces will need to be installed when the future apartment building is constructed on Lot 1. No additional vehicle access will be provided from Galaxie Avenue. Galaxie Avenue is classified as a major collector road, and is designed to carry and distribute traffic from surrounding neighborhoods and employment centers to the arterial roadways, e.g. Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. The projected 2030 traffic volume for Galaxie Avenue is 20,100 vehicle trips per day. Founders Lane is classified as a local street, and designed to carry daily neighborhood traffic. Pedestrian Access: The plan shows connection from the building to Founders Lane, though staff believes an additional connection should be made to the existing sidewalk on Founders. The future building will need to connect to both Founders Lane and Galaxie Avenue. Signs: Signs and/or sign structures are not included as part of the building permit authorization. A separate sign permit must be approved before any ground or building signage may be installed. The zoning code allows one (1) ground sign for the proposed building. The ground sign must be located at least five (5) feet from the property line and at least 10 feet from the apartment building. The ground sign may not exceed 40 sq. ft. in copy area. No building signage is allowed. Grading Plan: The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and has several issues that should be addressed by the applicant. The memo is attached. The developer should provide information about construction staging for both the Remington Cove building and the future apartment building. The applicant should be aware that there will be no weekend hours for construction or earthmoving. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Municipal utilities are available to the site. Some existing utility lines will need to be removed and/or relocated. Landscape Plan: The plan shows a mix of deciduous trees, and foundation plantings. The Natural Resources Coordinator suggests some of the species shown on the plan be substituted with others that are more appropriate for the site. His comments are attached. The applicant must provide a landscaping budget to ensure that planting materials, decorative hardscape, landscaping features, and the like are at least 2.5% of the cost of building materials based on Means Construction Data. Elevation Drawings: The building materials consist of EIFS, face brick and stone veneer, which are consistent with the zoning code. Each unit will have a balcony. The building has suburban architecture that blends with the Kingston Green development to the south, and the Seasons at Apple Valley senior housing to the north. Public Safety Issues: Attached are the comments from the Fire Marshal, the Building Official, and the Crime Prevention officer. The developer must address these comments.

P.I.D. #01.75893.01.010 Trident Development, LLC is please to present this preliminary/final plat and site plan application for a multi-family housing development known as "REMINGTON COVE" for your approval and recommendation to City Council. The following narrative is intended to generally describe the proposed plat and proposed apartment development. REQUEST - Trident Development, LLC is requesting approval of: 1) a Preliminary / Final Plat called "The Legacy of Apple Valley Fifth Addition" 2) Site Plan for a multi-family housing development — ON LOT 2 ONLY and 3) Rezoning for development plan revision. Lot 1 is intended to remain vacant except for those improvements necessary to serve Lot 2. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT — To re-plat existing Lot 1, Block 1 of The Legacy of Apple Valley Fourth Addition, thereby creating two (2) lots (Lot 1 and Lot 2) of The Legacy of Apple Valley Fifth Addition. Also, to obtain site plan approval of a multi-family building containing 101 dwelling units on proposed Lot 2 of said plat. The new plat (Fifth Addition) creates Lot 1 consisting of 115,906 SF (2.661 acres) and Lot 2 consisting of 110,827 SF (2.544 acres). The Remington Cove Apartments is proposed to be constructed on Lot 2, which is designed as a three-story building over underground parking, achieving a density of 39.7 units per acre, or 1,097 square feet of land area per dwelling unit. The proposed development is designed to generally meet the performance standards in Article A30 Designation No. 716 and is consistent with the Building Typology for Courtyard Apartment Buildings as defined in the Apple Valley Central Village Plan. BACKGROUND — In December, 2002, the City entered into a Development Agreement with Legacy Holdings-AV, LLC which created the Plat of The Legacy of Apple Valley and set forth agreements relating to municipal improvements, financial and performance obligations, among other things. The property fell into foreclosure and was subsequently purchased by Galaxie Partners, LLC in June 2013. Because the new development plan is different than that approved in 2002, an amended development agreement will be required as part of the approval process. LOCATION/ACCESS — The proposed development site is located at the southwest corner of Galaxie Avenue and Founders Lane. Except for existing utilities and sidewalks, the site is currently vacant. Some site excavation was conducted by others prior to the acquisition by Galaxy Partners. Neighboring properties include Kingston Green to the south, a 4-story apartment building and The Haralson to the east, a 4-story low-income apartment building. Across Founders Lane to the north are commercial/restaurant businesses and Kelley Park, a public park including pond and trails. Across Galaxie Avenue to the west is open space used for area-wide ponding and storm water management. Vehicular access to the property is provided by one, shared entrance from Founders Lane and one entrance from Galaxie Avenue. The Founders Lane entrance operates as a "right-in / right-out" access because Founders Lane is an east-bound, one-way street. The Galaxie Avenue entrance allows access by both north-bound and south-bound traffic. Access to public transportation is available on Garrett Avenue, approximately 3 blocks from the subject site, and the Apple Valley Transit Station at Cedar and 155th is approximately 4 blocks from the subject site offering a park & ride and bike lockers as well as multiple bus routes. G DING / D • INAGE — The project site has two existing storm water pipes lying near the southern boundary line along with existing catch basins in Founders Lane. The proposed drainage plan directs the parking lot drainage to the larger 24" pipe, which then connects west to the area-wide ponds on the west side of Galaxie Ave. The grading plan contemplates runoff from landscaped areas will surface draM to nearby catch basins in Founders Lane. Rain water from the roof will be conveyed in to the storm water system with underground pipes connecting the down spouts. A drain and pumping equipment are specified to manage the storm water at the parking garage ramp. The grade transition between the east elevation of the proposed building and the neighboring Haralson Apartments will be solved by using the underground parking garage wall as a retaining wall. Therefore, a good deal of the parking garage structure will be visible on the east elevation. UTILITIES — Municipal water and sanitary sewer services exist in Founders Lane. The utility plan proposes to make a connection to the existing water main with 8" DIP for domestic and fire suppression. For sanitary sewer, the plan proposes an 8" PVC connection to existing sanitary service stub on Founders Lane. No up-sizing or main extensions are required to serve the proposed development. The private utilities (gas and electric) exist on the south side of Founders Lane. Dakota Electric Association and Center Point Energy have been provided with the site plan and made aware of the project requirements. D INAGE AND UTILITIY EASEMENTS - The proposed plat will maintain and preserve all existing drainage and utility easement from The Legacy of Apple Valley Fourth Addition, with one exception — the 40' easement at the southwest corner of Lot 1 is modified slightly to accommodate the relocation of an existing fire hydrant. All existing and proposed utilities will be contained within the easements. Following the recording of the Final Plat, a reciprocal cross-easement and maintenance agreement will be recorded to govern the operation and maintenance of the shared, center drive between Lots 1 and 2. Upon request, the applicant can provide a draft version of this cross-easement agreement for the City's review. The plat is also encumbered by a driveway access easement affecting the southerly portion of the plat permitting access to Galaxie Avenue by the property to the east. SITE PLAN — The proposed site plan is designed to conform with the requirements and performance standards of Designation No. 716 of the City Code of Ordinances, under the Zone 2 Permitted Uses. The proposed site plan contemplates a three-story building with underground parking and surface parking. The building contains 101 dwelling units, interior amenities, elevators, lobby, community room, etc. The underground parking structure provides for 115 stalls (1.14 : 1 covered parking) and the surface parking provides for 59 spaces, 4 of which are designated for handicapped. Total parking provided on Lot 2 is 174 spaces, or a ratio of 1.72 to 1 which is slightly less than the minimum standard of 1.8 per unit. There is an opportunity to add an additional 8 parking stalls on Lot 1, and can be built with the Lot 2 improvements, thereby achieving the minimum ratio. The typical surface parking stall meets the minimum standard dimension of 9 feet wide by 18.5 feet long. The building is oriented so that the main entrance faces Founders Lane. Pedestrian traffic would enter through the front, main entrance or through the rear, secondary entry off the center courtyard. Vehicular traffic will generally enter from Founders Lane or Galaxie Ave and follow the 24-foot wide internal drive lanes to the underground parking entrance or to the surface parking in the courtyard area or south end of the site. Fire, rescue and EMS access is available on all sides of the building. Trash collection and removal is provided by two refuse/recycling rooms located within the building. Two concrete drive lanes from the center court yard parking allows garbage trucks to access the trash dumpsters through a pair of exterior doors for trash removal. It is intended that all utility meters and mechanical equipment will be located within the underground parking garage and not visible from view. An electrical transformer and pad is expected to be located outside, in front of the building near the northwest building corner. The site plan achieves a dwelling unit density of 1,097 SF of land per unit (39.7 u/a) which exceeds the minimum requirements for dwelling unit density of 1,610 SF land (27 u/a). The building observes an 18.7 foot set back from Founders Lane which exceeds the 10 foot minimum set back. The plan does place the building within 2.2 feet of the property line at the northeast corner, this however, does not appear to cause an exception to set back standards. The plan exceeds all minimum setbacks between buildings. The nearest building is the Haralson Apartments which is more than 35 feet east of the proposed building. The plan achieves a lot coverage of 41.6 % which is slightly greater than the maximum of 40%. The total impervious surfaces (including pervious pavers) equate to 69% of the lot area which is less than the 70% maximum allowed. When measured from the elevation of the first floor to the highest point of the roof, the building is 54.5 feet high, which is lower than the maximum height of 55 feet allowed. Sidewalks are designed to be five (5) feet wide, except where vehicle parking is adjacent to the walk, then a width of six and a half (6-1/2) feet is designed. The plan proposes a striped, pedestrian crossing on Founders Lane which is intended to allow easy pedestrian access to Legacy Park. A monument sign location is designed to be 13 feet from the property line and 12 feet from the building. Both dimensions exceed the minimum allowed per the code. The building exterior is treated with a variety of non-combustible materials, using complimentary colors and textures. The first floor elevation alternates cut stone/cultured stone and face brick across the bottom 1/3 of the building. The upper 2/3rds of the building introduces alternating uses of stucco (EIFS) and face brick in contrasting color schemes. The building also incorporates the use of various roof shapes and dormer sizes. The pitched roof is finished with high-profile, architectural grade asphalt shingles. Building elevation drawings are provided in the submittal materials. LANDSCAPE PLAN — The proposed landscape plan is intended to compliment the architectural form of the building and reduce the visibility of the surface parking areas to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Particular attention was paid to the main entry of the building and to the center court yard. The proposed monument sign has been incorporated in the landscape plan and is framed by two overstory trees and partially boarded by a row of hydrangea and catmint shrubs. Other elements of landscape plan include pervious pavers utilized for the sidewalks and patios, a raised, gas-fired fire pit, a gathering space with table and seating, and a vine-covered ornamental fence. The ornamental fence is lined with ornamental trees and serves as a buffer between the building and the Haralson Apartments to the east. In total, the proposed landscape plan specifies 25 overstory/deciduous trees, 28 ornamental trees, 405 deciduous shrubs, 346 evergreen shrubs, 346 perennials. All plant materials are identified on the landscaped plan along with a plant material list. The nursery bid list confirming 2-1/2 % of construction value will be provided as soon as it is available. EXTERIOR LIGHTING — Exterior lighting will be provided by a combination of ground-mounted, flood lights, wall mounted accent lights and pole-mounted parking lot lights. All lighting is arranged so as to deflect light away from neighboring properties and public streets. The light source of each fixture is hooded or shielded to not be visible. DEVELOPMENT TE — Trident Development, LLC is based in St. Cloud, MN and has considerable experience in development and construction of multi-story apartment housing.

City of Apple Valley TO: Maggie Dykes FROM: George Dorn, Building Official DATE: April 27, 2014 SUBJECT: The Legacy of Apple Valley Remington Apartment Complex Building Inspection Pre Planning Commission Review for Public Hearing Following are my comments on the Remington Apartment Complex design. GD:jcb MEMO Building Inspections 1. The designer should confirm the type of construction of the balconies. IBC 704.2.1 requires that projections from walls of Type I or II construction be of noncombustible materials or combustible materials only as allowed by Sections 1406.3 and 1406.4. 2. The NE corner of the building located 10.6 and 2.2 feet from East property line should be further evaluated for code compliance. These setbacks can have critical consequences of allowable area: fire rated opening protection, rating of the exterior wall, and any other penetrations in the walls such as mechanical openings. 3. The North main entrance should have a public accessible route from Founders Lane. Accessible routes within the site should be provided from public transportation stops, accessible parking, and accessible passenger loading zones; and from public streets or sidewalks to the accessible building entrance served. City of Appie \Miley TO: Maggie Dykes, City Planner FROM: Jeff Kehrer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: May 7, 2014 SUBJECT: Legacy 6 Remington Cove Apartments Landscape Plan Review MEMO Public Works Department After reviewing the landscape plan for the Remington Cove Apartments, I have the following comments: • Acer fremannii trees must be planted a minimum of eight feet from the public sidewalk. These trees have inherent shallow rooting characteristics and are known to cause uplifting of hard surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and patios. • Red jewel crabapple trees are shown planted along the north side of the property and as the illustration shows, the trees will extend into the public and private sidewalks as they reach a larger mature size. Low branching characteristics typical of many crabapple species require frequent pruning to eliminate conflicts with sidewalk users. Trees with a narrower crown would minimize this problem. • The pagoda dogwood trees proposed for the west side of the property are in direct conflict with the ornamental fence and adjacent property line. The trees are shown planted two to three feet from the fence and pagoda dogwood will have a crown diameter of 20-30 feet wide as it reaches its full size. • Two greenspire linden trees are shown at the entrance to the courtyard parking area. These trees have very dense foliage and lower branching characteristics than many shade trees species, which may pose a visibility restriction for traffic entering and leaving the parking area • At the north end of the courtyard parking area are two honeylocust trees shown planted a few feet from pervious pavers. In time I believe the trees will cause uplifting of the pavers. A deeper rooted shade tree such as swamp white oak or an ornamental tree species would pose a much lower risk of uplifting. APPLE VALLEY POLICE Neighborhood Collaborat Officer Program Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) recommendations for Remington Cove Apartments Submitted by: Pam Walter, Crime Prevention Specialist, Apple Valley Police Department Exterior recommendations: 1. Provide adequate exterior display of address on both buildings to allow eme ncy vehicles to easily locate the property. 2. Exterior doors should be secured with adequate access control (card access or keyed). 3. Exterior doors should display either chronological numbering or alphabetical lettering with adequate exterior signage indicating which units are in close proximity to each door. In addition to exterior signage, the interior entryways and hallways should have adequate directional signs. 4. Recommend a Police lock box at each main entrance. Landscaping: 1. Groundcover plants should not exceed a height of 2 feet at maturity and should be used within 6 feet of the edge of walkways. 2. Shrubs should not exceed a height of 3 feet and should be used within 6-12 feet from the edge of walkways. 3. Trees planted should be pruned up to a height of 6 feet above ground. lnterior dwelling units: 1. Eye-viewer in all unit doors, 180 degrees of sight 2.

Dykes, Maggie Fromm Sent: To: Subject: From: Sent: Monday, May 05 201411:24 To: Grawe, Charles Subject: Notice of Public Hearing Galaxie and 153rd St W Grawe, Charles Monday, May 05, 2014 1:45 PM Nordquist, Bruce; Dykes Maggie FW: Notice of Public Hearing Galaxie and 153rd St W To whom it may concern. The notice did not include a traffic routing plan or proposed site layout of the 101 unit complex. My main concern is the additional vehicles and traffic flow issues that this presents. We already encounter congestion and excessive speeds on 153rd due to the restaurant, Ecumen and one way pass through traffic. Are we to assume that this will add 101 additional vehicles or 2 per household at 202? / am not opposed to enhancing the vacant lot or building on it. | was hoping for something more appealing than another apartment complex; something that would benefit the entire neighborhood and complement the architecture at Legacy square.

The site is located in the southwest comer of 158 Street West and Emperor Avenue. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Community Development Dept. Action Requested 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 Issues There is an existing cross access easement and maintenance agreement between the effective parties for Emperor Avenue, which allows for unrestricted access and identifies responsibility for the ongoing maintenance private street. This agreement should be amended to include the new lots prior to approval of the final plat. The site plan shows 30 surface parking spaces for a 10,850 sq. ft. building. The minimum required parking for a facility of this size is 32 spaces. The site plan indicates a storm water infiltration basin located just west of Emperor Avenue. A conservation easement should be placed over the infiltration basin to ensure that no alterations will be made that will adversely affect its ongoing function. The petitioner will need to install a bike rack somewhere adjacent to the front entrance of the building in accordance with the planned development ordinance requirements. The plans do have not provided information on what the exterior finish of the trash enclosure's walls will be. All refuse enclosures shall be complexly enclosed and constructed of the same exterior finish materials as the principal structure. The applicant has not submitted information on what the outdoor play area fencing material will be. The fence should be made of maintenance free decorative material. A storm sewer line will extend from the infiltration basin southward across the newly created lot to the south and will connect with an existing line in Outlot N, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION. The storm sewer line should be moved east into the 30-foot drainage and utility easement located west of the east property line. This line should also tie into an existing manhole in Outlot N. A pedestrian connection should be made from the sidewalk along the private street to the front of the building. This pedestrian connection should be constructed using special paving materials such as brick pavers, stamped concrete, or paving stone, in accordance with the planned development ordinance. No pedestrian connections are being proposed to the Pilot Knob Road pathway. A direct pedestrian connection from the site to the Pilot Knob Road pathway should be made.

The uses may be mixed vertically (in a common structure) or horizontally (in a common site or area). Among the objectives for Mixed Use areas are: • Organize land use in a compact and walkable environment. • Set standards for private development and public improvements that produce enduring quality and enhance the character and identity of Apple Valley. • Encourage parking strategies that support greater intensity of use. • Integrate green/open space and trails into Mixed Use areas. • Improve environmental conditions, such as water quality and energy use, through development incentives. • Connect Mixed Use areas to public facilities, including transit systems, and to the broader community. Mixed Use will be implemented through planned development zoning. The City will also use design standards and other land use controls to achieve the desired outcomes. At the present time, the Central Village, Apple Valley Transit Station, former Apple Valley Transit Station, and a small portion of Cobblestone Lake are designated Mixed Use. The proposed use will be consistent with the "MIX" designation by providing another use within Cobblestone Lake that will serve the neighborhood. 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION "MIX" (Mixed Use) Zoning: During the initial request for the Cobblestone development, the entire 320-acre site was rezoned from "SG" (Sand and Gravel) and "A" (Agricultural) to Planned Development No. 703, with eight subzones designated within the development but only three on the zoning map. The planned development ordinance also identified uses, performance standards and area requirements for those three zones (zone 1, 7, and 8). The subject property is currently zoned Planned Development No. 703/zone 8, which allows for the sand and gravel mining on an interim basis. When approved, it was intended that this zone would be temporary for the purpose of extracting sand and gravel deposits. When the mining was completed, the areas would become one of the other zones (zones 1 through 7) within the planned development consistent with proposed platting and development plans. In this case, the petitioner is requesting a rezoning from zone 8 to zone 6, which according to Planned Development Ordinance No. 703 would allow for high density townhomes and apartment dwelling units at an overall density of twenty-four (24) units per acre and mixed retail business, limited business, and institutional uses. Identified uses in zone 6 include a wide variety of retail, restaurants, professional offices, educational tutoring services, convenience stores, apartments, and continuum of care facilities. The addition of day care centers/preschools as a permitted use would not have an adverse impact on existing or future uses within the Cobblestone Lake commercial area. 8 ZONING MAP DESIGNATION "PD-703/zone 6" (Planned Development) Preliminary Plat: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the Outlot 0, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3 ' II ADDITION a 3.22-acre parcel into two lots. Lot 1 will be 1.25 acres and is proposed to be the location of the Prestige Preschool. No development on the 1.97-acre Lot 2 is being proposed at this time. Access to the lots will be via a private drive, of which the west half is located in a 30-foot wide easement along the east edge of the proposed lots. There is an existing cross access easement and maintenance agreement between the effective parties for Emperor Avenue, which allows for unrestricted access and identifies responsibility for the ongoing maintenance private street. This agreement should be amended to include the new lots prior to approval of the final plat. Drainage and utility easements are shown adjacent to the property lines and are sized in accordance with City requirements and the subdivision code. Site Plan: The site plan indicates the construction of a 10,850 sq. ft. day care building. Access to the site will be from Emperor Avenue, a private street located along the east side of the property. No direct vehicular access from Pilot Knob Road is proposed. The west half of the private street is located on subject rrnrerhT ql1C1 OrtIQQ qC•CIPCQ PqQP. 11F.fwPierl n - nrcvniarfiT iNVIT - nrp, r L 11 4411,1.4-1..1.1./5 1.,) kJ VV 11,1 LJ 11C-1, F1, V with the development to the north and east. This agreement should be amended to include the owners of the lots within the COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 5TH ADDITION prior to issuance of a building permit. The site plan shows 30 surface parking spaces for a 10,850 sq. ft. building. Parking requirements for a day care center is 10 spaces, plus one (1) space for each 500 square feet in the principal structure. Therefore, the minimum required parking for a facility of this size is 32 spaces. The site plan indicates a storm water infiltration basin located just west of Emperor Avenue. An infiltration basin is an area where storm water runoff is allowed to filter through soil and recharge the local groundwater. This basin will help to control the quantity and quality of runoff generated from development on Lot 1. A conservation easement should be placed over the infiltration basin to ensure that no alterations will be made that will adversely affect its ongoing function. The planned development ordinance requires that parking lots with fifteen (15) or more parking spaces shall provide for parking for bicycles near the building entrance and shall not encroach into the pedestrian walkway. The petitioner will need to install a bike rack somewhere adjacent to the front entrance of the building. The site plan shows a trash enclosure at the west end of south row of parking. They have not provided information on what the exterior finish of the enclosure's walls will be. All refuse enclosures shall be complexly enclosed and constructed of the same exterior finish materials as the principal structure. A fence will be constructed around the outdoor play area located south and west of the building. The applicant has not submitted information on what the fencing material will be. The fence should be made of maintenance free decorative material. Grading Plan: The site has been graded as part of the sand and gravel mining reclamation of the site. Therefore, minimal grading to accommodate the proposed building and parking lot will be needed prior to construction. The Assistant City Engineer has reviewed the grading and utility plans and has no major outstanding issues. Elevation Drawings: The elevation drawings indicate an exterior finish that will include a combination of brick, fieldstone, Hardie board, and EIFS. All entrances will be roof covered that will be supported decorative columns and the windows will be accented with shutters. The exterior materials and design are in conformance with the special performance standards set forth in the planned development ordinance. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan identifies a wide and diverse variety of plantings. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the landscape plan and has no outstanding issues. 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 necessary municipal utilities to serve the site will be available by means of service connections to existing water main, storm and sanitary sewer lines located in Emperor Avenue. A storm sewer line will extend from the infiltration basin southward across the newly created lot to the south and will connect with an existing line in Outlot N, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION. The storm sewer line should be moved east into the 30-foot drainage and utility easement located west of the east property line. This line should also tie into an existing manhole in Outlot N. In addition, a maintenance agreement shall be executed between the owners of the newly created lots and the existing properties that share utilities to ensure the ongoing maintenance of the shared lines. Pedestrian Access: The planned development ordinance calls for sidewalks into and throughout commercial areas, between buildings and across parking areas where appropriate. A 5-foot wide sidewalk is currently located along the west side of Emperor Avenue, on the properties to the north, and a 10-foot wide bituminous pathway has been constructed along the east side of Pilot Knob Road. The petitioner is proposing to extend the 5-foot sidewalk across the Prestige Preschool property. Staff is recommending that a pedestrian connection be made from the sidewalk along the private street to the front of the building. This pedestrian connection should be constructed using special paving materials such as brick pavers, stamped concrete, or paving stone, in accordance with the planned development ordinance. No pedestrian connections are being proposed to the Pilot Knob Road pathway. A direct pedestrian connection from the site to the Pilot Knob Road pathway should be made. It is expected that the private street and adjacent sidewalk will extend further south and will terminate just north of an existing pathway in Out lot N. This will provide pedestrian access to the tunnel under Pilot Knob Road Quarry Point Park, located west if Pilot Knob Road. Dakota County Review: Because the proposed subdivision is located adjacent to a county road, it is subject to review by the Dakota County Plat Commission. This project was reviewed by the Commission on May 5, 2014, and their comments are included in the attached letter. One item of note is that they are requiring that a 25-foot buffer area for the future Pilot Knob Road/160 Street West interchange be shown on the final plat. 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. May 9, 2014 City of Apple VaIIey 7lOO147~' St. VV. Apple Valley, MN 55124 COUNTY Dakota County Surveyor's Office Western Service Center • 14955 Galaxie Av nue • Apple Valley, MN 55124 952.8e1'7087 • Fax 952.891-7127 • www.co.dakota.mn.us Re: COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 5 ADDITION The Dakota County Plat Commission met on May 5, 2014, to consider the preliminary plan of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 31, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. This plat isarep|at of Outlot 0, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3 ADDITION, which will create two commercial lots. Restricted access is shown along all of CSAH 31. The needs have been met. As discussed, the 25-foot buffer area for the future interchange should be shown on the plat per the recorded agreement. Gordon McConnell (Transportation Permitting) noted that an old county highway easement included setback requirements for signage along CSAH 31. If signage is placed in the restricted area per the easement, a permit would be required by the County to allow the signage. The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary and 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. Traffic volumes on CSAH 31 are 16,100 ADT and are anticipated to be 43,900 ADT by the year 2030. These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints. In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this development. No work shall commence in the County right ofway 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 which 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.

ORIGINAL ELEVATION PLAN FLOOR PLAN FINAL PLAT City of Apple Valle ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: Action Requested If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending the following: 6A May 21, 2014 Land Use Action ITEM DESCRIPTION: Quarry Ponds West: Consider a request for proposed subdivision that will create 33 single- family lots on 10.5 acres. The site is located north of 160 Street West (CSAH 46), approximately 'A-mile west of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31). STAFF CONTACT: DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner Community Development Department 1. A motion to approve the Quarry Ponds West preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: a. Final plat approval shall be contingent upon approval of the rezoning of the property within the preliminary plat from "SG" (Sand and Gravel) to "PD" (Planned Development). b. Final plat approval shall be contingent upon the completion of all street and utility improvements identified in the City's Public Improvement Project No. 2013-149. c. The final plat shall include the platting of Lots 4-13, Block 1 and Lots 15-20, Block 2 only. The remaining lots shall be platted as an outlot until such time as the 157 Street West roadway is constructed from Pilot Knob Road to Finch Avenue, and the Johnny Cake Ridge Road roadway is constructed from Street B to 157 Street West. d. Final plat shall be contingent upon the removal of unnamed tributary to the northern branch of the Vermillion River from the DNR Public Waters Inventory Map. e. Dedication of all the necessary drainage and utility easements to serve the plat in accordance with the City's subdivision ordinance. f. Dedication of one-foot (1') wide easements, which restrict direct driveway access from all lots to Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. g. Park dedication shall be satisfied by a cash-in lieu of land dedication. h. A public access turnaround shall be constructed to City standards within a dedicated temporary easement just north of Lot 4, Block 1 and Lot 15, Block 2. Summary An application has been submitted for a preliminary plat for the subdivision of Outlot D, REGENT'S POINT, according to the proposed final plat. The applicant is proposing to plat this 10.5-acre parcel into 33 single-family residential lots. This will result in a gross density of 3.14 units per acre. Lot sizes will range from 8,450 sq. ft. to 19,002 sq. ft. in area. Access to the proposed subdivision will be via 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, both collector streets that do not currently exist. The right-of-way for these streets is being dedicated with the REGENT'S POINT final plat. Direct access to the individual lots will be from local residential streets whose right-of-way will be dedicated with this plat. No direct access from the lots within this plat to 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be allowed. APPLICANT: Arcon Land III, LLC and Fischer Sand and Aggregate, LLP PROJECT NUMBER: PC14-11-S APPLICATION DATE: April 8, 2014 60 DAYS: June 7, 2014 120 DAYS: August 6, 2014 Background A rezoning request of the property from "SG" to a "PD" (Planned Development) was made with the earlier Quarry Ponds development request. The Planning Commission did recommend approval of the rezoning and the City Council will consider it at the same time as final consideration of the Quarry Ponds final plat, which has been renamed REGENT'S POINT. The project is proposed to be done in two phases. The most southerly 16 lots will developed in the first phase, with the remaining 17 lots developed in the second phase. Therefore, all residential lots in the second phase should be platted as an outlot. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the landscape plan and has several comments for revisions that are contained within this report. Revisions to the landscape plan should be made per staffs comments. The applicant is proposing to develop the property in two phases. The first phase will be the most southerly 16 lots. The second phase will include the remaining 17 lots. Approval of the Quarry Ponds preliminary plat included a condition that stated if the second phase was not approved within two years of the first phase; the City could choose to construct 157 Street West from the Regatta development to Pilot Knob Road and the remaining section of Johnny Cake Ridge Road to 157 Street West. This condition will be incorporated as a condition of approval of the Quarry Ponds West subdivision. Street B will be extended to serve the lots in the first phase. The street will not be a through street; no turnaround is shown at the north end of the street. A public access turnaround shall be constructed to City standards within a dedicated temporary easement. A section of the unnamed tributary to the northern branch of the Vermillion River is located in this proposed subdivision. This public watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Staff contacted the DNR regarding the possibility of removing the waterway from their public waters inventory. They have informed the City that they will begin the process of seeking its removal. This could likely take up to two months before a decision is made.

The "LD" is designed to accommodate residential developments that range from zero to six units per acre and include most of the existing single-family residential areas that are zoned "R-1", "R-2", "R-3", and "R-CL". Other zoning districts eligible for this land use category include "R-5" (two family); "M-1", "M-2", and "M-3" (multiple family); and "PD" (planned development). The proposed 33-lot single-family residential development on 10.5 acres will have a gross density of 3.1 units per acre, which exceeds the minimum required density within the "LD" designation. LOCATION MAP 2030 COMP HENS L D USE MAP DESIGNATION "LD" (Low Density Residential/2-6 units per acre) Livable Communities Impact: The proposal will create up to 33 market-rate single-family dwelling units to the City's existing housing stock, which is consistent with the following Livable Communities Act principle: • Provide a balanced supply of housing supply, with housing available for people of all income levels; and • A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle. Zoning: The property is currently zoned "SG" (Sand and Gravel), which allows limited agricultural pursuits, including crop and plant production and commercial greenhouses and nurseries as permitted uses, and sand and gravel mining as a conditional use. No mining has occurred on this property with the exception of some stockpiling and processing of black dirt in the northeast corner. The applicant has requested a rezoning of the property from "SG" to a "PD" (Planned Development) with the earlier Quarry Ponds development request. The Planning Commission did recommend approval of the rezoning and the City Council will consider it at the same time as final consideration of the Quarry Ponds final plat, which has been renamed REGENT'S POINT. The planned development designation will establish the uses, area requirements, and performance standards for the planned development district, consistent with the proposed subdivision developments. It will address such things as a minimum lot size of 8,440 sq. ft. and lot width of 65 feet. This is different from our typical "R-3" zoning district, which has minimum lot area of 11,000 sq. ft. and lot width of 80 feet. A conditional use permit (C.U.P.) has been approved for the "SG" zoned property within the proposed development, which allows sand and gravel mining. This proposal will end the ability of Fischer Sand and Aggregate, the current owner, to mine the property. Therefore, the owner will need to release the sand and gravel mining C.U.P. on the subject property. Staff will work with the developer and property owner with an amendment of their C.U.P. Mining operations will continue north of the proposed development, which could result in potential conflicts. This will need to be addressed through the zoning code regulations that establish setbacks between residential property and mining operations, operating hours, and screening. ZONING MAP DESIGNATION "SG" (Sand and Gravel) Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat consists of the replat of the 10.5-acre Out lot D, REGENT'S POINT, according to a proposed final plat, into 33 single-family lots. This will result in a gross density of 3.14 units per acre. Lot sizes will range from 8,450 sq. ft. to 19,002 sq. ft. in area. Access to the proposed subdivision will be via 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, both collector streets that do not currently exist. The right-of-way for these streets is being dedicated with the REGENT'S POINT final plat. Direct access to the individual lots will be from local residential streets whose right-of-way will be dedicated with this plat. No direct access from the lots within this plat to 157 Street West and Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be allowed. This proposed preliminary plat was part of the Quarry Ponds preliminary plat that was reviewed by the City in 2013. That 56-acre preliminary plat identified 107 single-family lots and an existing 12-acre storm water pond. This pond, identified as WVR-443 and commonly referred to as the McNamara Pond is the last stop for storm water collected in the 4,814-acre West Vermillion River Watershed. The water that flows into this pond is eventually discharged into a pipe that travels to a large pond in Lakeville. An issue arose during the review of the Quarry Ponds development proposal regarding the maximum allowable flow rate of storm water that could be discharged into Lakeville. This required the City to review the proposal to determine how much additional property would be needed for storm water storage. It was determined that, if needed, the pond would likely expand north of its current location on the subject property. Therefore, the residential lots on the west side of Johnny Cake Ridge Road plat the property as an outlot. Review of the storm water ponding/flow rate issue by Lakeville and Apple Valley concluded that the ponding area proposed in Outlots A and B of REGENT'S POINT would be sufficient. This allows the developer and property owner to proceed with platting the subject property as proposed. The subject property does not currently abut a public street. The right-of-way of two future streets, Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West, will be dedicated with the REGENT'S POINT final plat to the east. The dedication of these two streets will provide the necessary public street access needed for this preliminary plat. The project is proposed to be done in two phases. The most southerly 16 lots will developed in the first phase, with the remaining 17 lots developed in the second phase. Therefore, all residential lots in the second phase should be platted as an outlot. Grading Plan: Staff has reviewed the preliminary grading plan and there are no outstanding issues. Any development of the property will require the submittal of Natural Resources Management Permit application and final grading plan for review and approval by the City Engineer. Landscape Plan: A landscape plan is normally not required with a single-family development proposal. However, this development is located in a future planned development and will be adjacent to two collector streets. These two elements dictate the need for a landscaping plan that identifies the species type and location of plantings on lots located directly adjacent to future Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the landscape plan and has the following comments: • The proposed deciduous tree group is represented by three maple species. Maple trees should be limited to one species and no more than 20% of the total shade trees. Two other tree species should be incorporated to replace the overabundance of maple such as swamp white oak, honeylocust, river birch or linden. • Black Hills spruce trees should be spaced a minimum of 12-14 feet from each other to allow airflow and minimize potential needlecast disease. * A detailed plan is requested to show elevations and individual species at each planting location. • Acer x freemannii is not a desirable front yard tree due to parent silver maple rootstock and shallow surface root characteristics that frequently cause uplifting of hard surfaces. Revisions to the landscape plan should be made per staff's comments. Staging Plan: The development is proposed to be done in two phases. The first phase will be the most southerly 16 lots. The second phase will include the remaining 17 lots. This is consistent with the original phasing plan submitted with the Quarry Ponds preliminary plat. That plan identified up to 55 lots to be constructed with the first phase, 39 east of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 16 west of the street. Johnny Cake Ridge Road, from CSAH 46 to Street B will be constructed as part of the REGENT'S POINT development and will be the only access to the lots in the first phase for both developments. Construction of 157 Street West from the Regatta development to Pilot Knob Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road from Street A to 157 Street West would occur with the second phase. Approval of the Quarry Ponds preliminary plat included a condition that stated if the second phase was not approved within two years of the first phase; the City could choose to construct 157 Street West from the Regatta development to Pilot Knob Road and the remaining section of Johnny Cake Ridge Road to 157 Street West. This condition will be incorporated as a condition of approval of the Quarry Ponds West subdivision. Street B will be extended to serve the lots in the first phase. The street will not be a through street; no turnaround is shown at the north end of the street. A public access turnaround shall be constructed to City standards within a dedicated temporary easement. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Extension of existing utilities needed to serve this proposed development will be done as part of the REGENT'S POINT development. Watermain will be extended to the west from the intersection of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Street B. Sanitary sewer will come from an existing line located along the north side of CSAH 46, which will be extended north along Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Storm sewer infrastructure will be installed to serve the site. Storm sewer pipes will be installed to collect water from lots in the subdivision and transport it to the storm water ponding area located directly to the south of the development. DNR Waterway: A section of the unnamed tributary of the northern branch of the Vermillion River is located in this proposed subdivision. This public watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Over the years portions of this watercourse, which ran overland has been incorporated into storm sewer pipes and ponding areas in the Hillcrest Acres, Orchard Pointe, and Regatta developments. The storm sewer pipe currently discharges into the pond south of this proposed development. The rerouting included the vacation of drainage easements over the tributary. Documents submitted by the applicant do not identify any easements over the tributary. Staff contacted the DNR regarding the possibility of removing the waterway from their public waters inventory. They have informed the City that they will begin the process of seeking its removal. This could likely take up to two months before a decision is made. DNR PUBLIC WATERS INVENTORY MAP City, Apt, VF,lay DNR Waters afaee WaterManagementP. Apple Valley FIGURE 3.2 Legend onestroo Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: Streets A and B, two local streets will be constructed within the proposed subdivision and will provide direct access to the individual lots. Street B will intersect with future Johnny Cake Ridge Road to the east and 157 Street West to the north. Johnny Cake Ridge Road will be constructed from CSAH 46 to the Street B intersection and will be the only access to the development during the first phase. Any development within the section phase will require the construction of 157 Street West and the section of Johnny Cake Ridge Road from Street B to 157 Street West. CSAH 46 (160 Street West) is an A Minor Arterial, which is defined as routes that provide a way to make connections between developing areas outside the interstate ring. Arterials are intended to connect locations inside and outside of the city. They generally connect to principal arterials or other minor arterials or collectors such as Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Traffic counts in 2007 at the CSAH 46/Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection was 24,100 and the 2030 projections estimate 29,100 trips. Johnny Cake Ridge Road is a major collector. Major collector streets are designed to serve shorter trips within the city and collect traffic from neighborhoods and employment centers to the arterial system. The 2030 traffic volumes for the street section between CSAH 46 and 157 Street West are estimated to be 16,800 trips per day. The street will have one thru lane each way with turn lanes at the intersections. Traffic control at CSAH 46 intersection will include a stop sign on Johnny Cake Ridge Road and will be controlled with a traffic signal in the future when warrants are met. 157 Street West is a minor collector roadway. They collect neighborhood traffic and distribute it to major collector and arterial streets in the city. These streets are generally shorter and less continuous than major collector streets. The construction of the section of 157 Street West from Pilot Knob Road to the Regatta Development will allow traffic to travel from Cobblestone Lake Parkway to the east to Garden View Drive to the west. The Johnny Cake Ridge Road intersection will be a four-way stop with a traffic signal likely in the future. Local streets within this development and Regent's Point to the east will be controlled with stop signs at all collector street intersections. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalks, trails or pathways shall be provided in accordance with provisions of the City's pedestrian circulation plan. Sidewalks will be required along both sides of local streets within the development and pathways will be installed on both sides of future Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 157 Street West. Recreation Issues: The City's subdivision regulations provide for dedication of land or easements for the purpose of offsetting the need created by new development for new parks or storm water holding ponds. The regulations also provide for a cash-in-lieu of land dedication and is based on a "benchmark" land valuation for raw land. The preliminary plat does not propose any land dedication, therefore it will be expected that the developer will be proposing the cash option to meet their park dedication requirement. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was opened on May 7, 2014, comments were taken, and the hearing was closed. Following is a synopsis of the comments received on July 16, followed by any staff comments as appropriate. A comment was received about the public hearing notification process. Staff response — The City of Apple Valley follows the public hearing notice procedure as set forth in Section 155.4000(D) of the Apple Valley Code of Ordinances. That section states the following: The Planning Commission shall hold at least one public hearing, affording the parties interested the opportunity to be heard, and shall give not less than ten days' notice of the time and place of the hearing, published in the designated legal newspaper for the city. The notice shall also include the description of the land and the proposed changes in zoning. At least ten days before the hearing, the City Clerk shall mail an identical notice to the owners of the property and to each of the property owners within 350 feet of the outside boundaries of the subject property. Failure to give mailed notice to individual property owners or defects in the notice shall not invalidate the proceeding provided a bona fide attempt to comply with this requirement has been made. Mr. Gene Rechtzigel, who claimed he was not given notice of the proposed request, specifically raised this issue. The submitted mailing list includes Mr. Rechtzigel as an owner of a residential lot in the Regatta neighborhood, which is within 350 feet of the project area. Notices were sent to all property owners on that list. A comment was received regarding the mining of the property and the requirement that mining operator located north of the site should only be allowed to mine 25 acres of land at a time in accordance with the approved Environmental Impact Statement. Staff Response — There are no indications from the current property owner that they intend to mine the subject property. They have requested a rezoning of the property from "SG" (Sand and Gravel) to a residential planned development. Approval of the rezoning would nulli any mining opportunity on the property. With regard to the 25-acre mining requirement, amended conditional use permits were approved in 2006 that rescinded the 25-acre cell requirement. Comments were raised regarding the changes to the ponding area to the south of the project site and if this ponding area was going to be dedicated as public park. Staff Response — This storm water pond was constructed by the City, whose primary purpose is to collect storm water from the 4,880-acre West Vermillion River Watershed District and discharge it into Lakeville. The pond will be enlarged and reshaped as part of the Regent's Point project, directly to the east of the subject property, and this development project (see attached Regent's Point and Quarry Ponds West grading plan. Reshaping of the pond will likely impact existing wildlife in and around the storm water pond. One would expect that the wildlife would return upon completion of the pond reconstruction. The City currently owns the property where the pond is located and will own all the ponding property needed by the City after the expansion. The applicant has not identified the ponding area for park dedication nor would the City accept this property as part of any park dedication requirements associated with the development. The required park dedication for this subdivision shall be satisfied by a cash- in-lieu of land contribution. Comments were received about what traffic on 157 Street West. Staff response — 157 Street West is designated as a minor collector street. A street of this type is designed to carry traffic in and through the community and has a designed capacity for 5,000-15,000 vehicle trips per day. The street will be 3-lane section between Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Pilot Knob Road with right turn lanes at the major intersections. The street will become a 2-lane section between Johnny Cake Ridge Road and the tie-in point to the west, with striped shoulder to match into existing section. Projected 2030 daily forecasts for this section of roadway 15,300 average daily trips for the section from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Pilot Knob Road and 4,600 average daily trips for the section from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Finch Avenue. Finally, the speed limit on 157 Street through the Regatta neighborhood currently is 30 MPH. The City does not plan to change the speed limit in the Regatta neighborhood. With the extension of 157 Street from Regatta to the east, the speed limit will be established during the design phase of that project. A comment was raised regarding the lot sizes as compared with single-family lots in the Regatta neighborhood. Staff Response - The proposed planned development ordinance will allow for lots having minimum lot size of 8,440 sq. ft. and lot width of 65 feet. This is different from our typical "R-3" zoning district, which has minimum lot area of 11,000 sq. ft. and lot width of 80 feet. Twenty-two of the lots will be less than 11,000 with the majority of those lots (17) having an area between 9,000-10,000 sq. ft. The remaining 11 lots greater than 11,000 sq. ft. will vary in size from 11,668 sq. ft. to 19,002 sq. ft. In comparison, the Regatta development, which is also a planned development that has a variety of housing type, has minimum lot area requirement of 11,000 sq. ft. lots and a lot width 80 feet for single-family homes. The lot area of the single-family lots directly adjacent to the subject property varies from 12,498 sq. ft. to 22,808 sq. ft. A concern was raised about the impact that this proposed development would have on existing home values. Staff response - Regarding property values, the City cannot evaluate any proposal based upon perceived or expected home values. The broad policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan enhance the viability of the community long-term. These long-term goals ensure the community's property values, not the value of any one property Although the lots will be smaller, the proposed subdivision will could help in realizing the City's housing goals of providing a balanced supply of housing supply, with housing available for people of all income levels and a variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle. A question was asked if Johnny Cake Ridge Road could be located outside of the ponding area. Staff response — The location of Johnny Cake Ridge Road is set at CSAH 46 at a point that will align itself with Fairgreen Avenue in Lakeville. In addition, the reconfiguration and expansion of the pond will prohibit any opportunity to keep the road from going through the ponding area. A comment was raised about the location of the North Creek Greenway. Staff response - The 2030 Comprehensive Plan showed the proposed greenway at the location below. Since the approval of the Comprehensive Plan in 2009, the City, Dakota County and the property owner south of CSAH 42 have agreed that the more efficient route for the greenway would be to take it north through Quarry Point Park, then west along the north side of157 Street West.

The MVTA does not currently have plans to adjust Route 477. There are no immediate plans to add routes in this area, but, they are always open to discussing modifications based on city and/or resident interests. It might make a lot of sense to consider a routing adjustment to use 157Street th West (instead of Pilot Knob Road to 160Street West to Flagstaff to 157Street thth West). In the case the current route pattern, they prefer 157Street West, th compared to 160Street West, because it allows for safer, more user-friendly bus th stops and it offers better access to higher population densities.
