(PC14-14-ZSB) LOCATION: Southeast of Galaxie Avenue and Founders Lane PETITIONER: Trident Development, LLC CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2014 Page 2 of 5 Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Planner Margaret Dykes stated the applicant is requesting a subdivision by preliminary plat of the subject 5.21-acre site into two lots; the subdivision would 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. 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) would be constructed at a later date. The plans show this future building would also be 101 units. The developer should provide information regarding the future construction staging of the building. She reviewed parking requirements, pedestrian and drive access, grading and landscape plans and elevation drawings. The building materials consist of EIFS, face brick and stone veneer, which are consistent with the zoning code. Each unit would 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. Roger Fink, Senior VP of Trident Development, Inc., provided additional information. Discussion followed. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. B.

(PC14-12-ZB and PC LOCATION: Southwest corner of 158th Street West and Emperor Avenue PETITIONER: South Shore Development, Inc., and Red Mountain Retail Group Chair Melander opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicant is requesting the rezoning of a 3.22-acre outlot in Planned Development No. 703 from zone 8 to zone 6, amendment to Planned Development No. 703 zoning ordinance to include daycare centers/preschools as permitted uses in zone 6, subdivision of Outlot 0 into two lots, and site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 10,850 sq. ft. daycare facility on 1.25 acres. The site is located in the southwest comer of 158th Street West and Emperor Avenue. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 21, 2014 Page 3 of 5 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. He reviewed the site plan including parking requirements and stated the site plan indicates a storm water infiltration basin located just west of Emperor Avenue. He reviewed the grading and landscape plans, along with elevation drawings and shared that the applicant had not submitted information on what the outdoor play area fencing material would be. The fence should be made of maintenance free decorative material. 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 Dakota County Plat Commission is requiring that a 25-foot buffer area for the future Pilot Knob Road/160th Street West interchange be shown on the final plat. Discussion followed. Jacob Fick, South Shore Development, provided additional information. Jon Fahning, Shingobee Builders, stated they are partnering with Red Mountain Retail Group to build this facility. Red Mountain Retail Group has been involved in building childcare facilities for many years. Prestige school is a high quality education daycare. Glenda Ballis, 15848 Emperor Avenue, had no objections to the building but addressed concerns for the increased traffic at 157th Street and Emperor Avenue. She would like the area looked at and possibly have some bushes and trees removed for better visibility. Jeanne Milbauer, 15848 Emperor A venue, shared her concerns regarding the the intersection of 157th Street and Emperor Avenue. Chair Melander closed the public hearing at 7:46 p.m. 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS r nvernowri bushes 21- v, 1E v ,a•L A. Quarry Ponds West — Consideration of the subdivision by preliminary plat of 10.5 acres into 33 single-family lots. (PC14-11-S) 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 21, 2014 Page 4 of 5 City Planner Tom Lovelace stated an application had 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 would result in a gross density of 3.14 units per acre. Lot sizes would range from 8,450 sq. ft. to 19,002 sq. ft. in area. Access to the proposed subdivision will 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 is being 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. Therefore, all residential lots in the second phase should be platted as an outlot. The Natural Resources Coordinator had reviewed the landscape plan and had several comments for revisions. Revisions to the landscape plan should be made per staff's comments. 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 would begin the process of seeking its removal. This could likely take up to two months before a decision is made. He reviewed the public hearing comments and answered the questions. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Burke recommending approval of 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 approval of the Regent's Point final plat and development agreement, and awarding of the contract for street and utility improvements identified in the City's Public Improvement Project No. 2013-149. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes May 21,2014 Page 5 of 5 7. OTHER BUSINESS 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 157th 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 157th 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 157th 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. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. A.

It is the policy of the Planning Commission to not take action on an item on the night of its public hearing. Summary Caribou Coffee is located in the Cedar Marketplace development at 14638 Cedar Avenue. The property is zoned PD -290, Zone 4 which prohibits a drive -thru in connection with a restaurant facility. Caribou is requesting an amendment to the PD zoning district to allow a drive -thru in connection with a Class III Restaurant (Neighborhood Coffee House, Sandwich Shop, Delicatessen, etc.). The Glazier Townhomes immediately abut Caribou Coffee to the north. Background APPLICANT: Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. APPLICATION DATE: May 12, 2014 60 DAYS: July 10, 2014 PROJECT NUMBER: PC 14- 17 -ZCB 120 DAYS: September 9, 2014 Zoning Issues: When the PD sub - district was created in 1999, there was a concern that a drive -thru window in connection with a restaurant could negatively impact the Glazier Townhome development to the north. As a result, the zoning specifically prohibits drive -thrus for restaurants. Drive -Thru Lane Design: Caribou proposes to construct the drive -thru on the west side of their building. A total of eight parking spaces would be removed along with the remnants of the former driveway access that was cut off as part of Cedar Avenue reconstruction project. Vehicles would enter the west drive -thru lane, drive north and then circulate clockwise around the loop so that they end up southbound on the west side of the Caribou building. Once in the lane, there is no by -pass lane provided. A 10' tall masonry wall is proposed to be constructed along the north property line to provide screening between the drive -thru and the townhomes to the north. The masonry wall, in addition to an extensive landscape planting area, are intended to help absorb noise and block headlights. The interior of the restaurant would be remodeled to move the service counter from the east side of the restaurant to provide window service from the west side of the building. Proximity to the Glazier Townhomes: The drive -thru lane would be located approximately 35' from the nearest townhome building to the north. Negative impacts associated with drive -thru lanes include vehicle emissions, noise from outdoor speakers, noise from idling vehicles and headlights. A six foot tall privacy fence is located on the townhome property, but provides minimal screening because it is at a lower elevation than the shopping center property. Page 1 of 30 Hours of Operation: The restaurant's website indicates that the coffee shop is open at 5:00 a.m. weekdays and closes at 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The City may wish to limit the drive -thru to be consistent with the noise ordinance which limits noise between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Between the hours of 5:00 - 6:00 a.m., and 10:00 — 11:00 p.m., customers could be required to park and walk inside the restaurant to place their orders. Noise Study: The petitioner hired a noise consultant to study how noise from the drive -thru might impact the townhouses to the north. The study made the following findings: • Cedar Avenue has a traffic volume of approximately 50,000 average daily trips (ADT) in this location. • Sound levels at the order board and pick up window will be below ambient noise levels most of the time. • When there is little or no noise from Cedar Avenue, there is a possibility of audible sound from speakers at order board and pick up window. • An improved 8' tall solid fence or sound barrier of 3 /4" wood plank or denser material is recommended to mitigate potential noise. Bicycle and Pedestrian Access: The Caribou Coffee is just over 200' from the 147 Street Red Line station platform. Ensuring pedestrian and bicycle access between the transit station and the Cedar Marketplace building will be important. A crosswalk is shown constructed from the Caribou patio, across the southern portion of the drive -thru loop, then connecting with the Cedar Avenue trail. Performance Criteria for Class III Drive -Thru: The following conditions must be met in order to obtain a CUP for drive -thru in connection with a Class III Restaurant in the RB zone: 1. Noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles resulting from the operation of the window does not negatively impact surrounding residential and institutional uses. 2. The drive -thru lane shall not impede or conflict with vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic circulation on the site as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. 3. When a neighborhood restaurant is located less than 1,000 feet from residential or institutional use, the City Council may restrict the hours of operation of a drive -thru window to mitigate any adverse impacts caused by noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles. If the City were to approve a zoning amendment to allow a drive -thru window, similar requirements should be included in the amendment. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1. Location Map 2.

The Comprehensive Plan states that buffering of residential areas is an important value of the City "to preserve vitality, social interaction and cohesiveness." The Comp Plan states that appropriate buffering techniques include the use of landscape materials, berms, distance, fencing, site and building orientation and other design orientation methods. The Comp Plan goes further to state that the portion of buildings containing a drive -up facility may not be located adjacent to any residential uses. Zoning: The Caribou Coffee is located within Planned Development No. 290, Zone 4. The zoning district was established to provide retail uses that have minimum nuisance characteristics adjacent to a residential development. The zoning district specifically prohibits a drive -thru window in conjunction with a Class I or Class III restaurant. The text of the zoning district would need to be amended in order for Caribou to construct a drive -thru in this location. • Performance Criteria for Class III Drive -Thru. The conditions listed below must be met in order to obtain a CUP for a drive -thru in connection with a Class III Restaurant in the RB zone. The City may wish to use these performance standards as a model for a zoning amendment if an amendment is approved. Page 3 of 30 1. Noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles resulting from the operation of the window does not negatively impact surrounding residential and institutional uses. 2. The drive -thru lane shall not impede or conflict with vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic circulation on the site as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. 3. When a neighborhood restaurant is located less than 1,000 feet from residential or institutional use, the City Council may restrict the hours of operation of a drive -thru window to mitigate any adverse impacts caused by noise, headlights, traffic volume and emissions from idling vehicles. Preliminary Plat: Not required. Site Plan: The drive -thru lane is proposed to be constructed on the west side of the building in the area where the parking lot and former drive access to Cedar Avenue are located. A total of eight parking spaces would be removed along with the former driveway stub. Vehicles would enter the west drive -thru lane, then proceed north and circulate clockwise around the loop so that they end up southbound on the west side of the Caribou building. Once in the lane, there is no by -pass lane provided. A 10' tall masonry wall would be constructed along the north property line to provide screening and help absorb noise. The interior of the restaurant would be remodeled to move the service counter from the east side of the restaurant to provide window service from the west side of the building. Site Plan Issues: • Loss of Parking. Approximately eight parking spaces would be lost as a result of the construction of the drive -thru. The petitioners state that many of their customers currently park and then pick up their coffee and that a drive -thru would help to decrease the demand for parking. A parking analysis for Cedar Marketplace done in 2011 showed that the center is currently 6.2 spaces short of the required number of spaces. Losing eight more parking spaces would result in a total deficiency of 14 spaces for the shopping center which is a concern. • Impacts to Glazier Townhomes. The drive -thru lane would be located approximately 35' from the nearest townhome building to the north. Negative impacts associated with drive -thru lanes include vehicle emissions, noise from outdoor speakers, noise from idling vehicles and headlights. The website indicates that the restaurant is open at 5:00 a.m. weekdays and closes at 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. • Noise Study: The petitioner hired a noise consultant to study how noise from the drive -thru might impact the townhouses to the north. The study made the following findings: o Cedar Avenue has a traffic volume of approximately 50,000 average daily trips (ADT) in this location. o Sound levels at the order board and pick up window will be below ambient noise levels most of the time. o When there is little or no noise from Cedar Avenue, there is a possibility of audible sound from speakers at order board and pick up window. o An improved 8' tall solid fence or sound barrier of 3 /4" wood plank or denser material is recommended to mitigate potential noise. Neighbor Issues /Concerns: Staff met with the representatives of the Dakota County Community Development Agency who manage the Glazier Family Townhomes development. The representatives raised the questions and concerns listed below. Caribou's architect prepared a response to these questions which is included in the staff report. o What are the hours of operation? Would like to have hours restricted to similar to noise ordinance: max 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Page 4 of 30 o Concerned about impacts from headlights. Would like to see cross section drawing to confirm: • Headlights blocked by wall and landscaping • Shadows resulting from wall don't block sunlight on townhomes. o Prefer more evergreens to ensure year -round screening of headlights. o How will snow removal be conducted? Concerned that water run -off from snow storage does not drain towards the townhomes. Plans should identify snow storage location. o When will trash pick -up and plowing occur? Concerned about noise and activity before 6:00 a.m. o Limit construction hours to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Mon -Fri and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays. o Safety of the children is a concern. The Glazier Townhomes are a family townhome development. o What will the design of the exterior of the wall be? Cover with ivy? o Lighting — make sure shoe box light fixture. Grading Plan: The site is flat so grading will be minimal. This will be reviewed in more detail in connection with the Site Plan review if the ordinance is amended to allow the drive -thru. Elevation Drawings: Elevation drawings have not been provided. Changes to the exterior of the Caribou building are expected to be minimal as a result of the installation of a drive -thru window. The Elevation Drawings would be reviewed in detail in connection with the Site Plan review. Landscape Plan: The landscaping plan shows that Caribou intends to plant a variety of evergreens and deciduous trees and shrubs to help absorb sound in the drive -thru area. The planting plan shows that the value of the landscape plantings will exceed the minimum 2-1/2% value requirement. Availability of Municipal Utilities: N /A. No changes proposed to the utilities. Street Classifications /Accesses /Circulation: • Cedar Avenue (Principal Arterial Roadway - 200' ROW, 98' 6 -lane street with center median and turn lanes). A former right -in, right out driveway access to Cedar Avenue was removed in connection with the upgrade of Cedar Avenue. A 30' wide east -west easement access between Cedar Avenue and Glazier Avenue was dedicated in connection with the approval of the Cedar Marketplace plat. The easement does not currently allow for a drive -thru. The easement will need to be addressed in connection with the Site Plan Review if the ordinance is amended. Pedestrian Access: The Caribou Coffee is just over 200' from the 147 Street Red Line station platform. Ensuring pedestrian and bicycle access between the transit station and the Cedar Marketplace building is an important consideration. Caribou proposes to construct a pedestrian connection from the south side of the outdoor patio, through the south end of the drive -thru loop, and provide a connection to the trail on Cedar Avenue. Public Safety Issues: No issues identified other than ensuring fire exits are not blocked and pedestrian safety is ensured. Public safety will be reviewed in more detail in connection with the Site Plan Review if the City approves an amendment to the PD zoning district. Recreation Issues: N/A Signs: No sign approvals are given at this time. No signs may be installed prior to the issuance of a permit. A separate sign permit must be obtained prior to the installation of any signs on the site or the building. Public Hearing Comments: To be taken.

Early morning observations and sound level measurements were also made at an existing drive -thru at the Brooklyn Park location. Sound from the order point and pickup loudspeakers was identified as the most likely sources to have an adverse impact on the adjacent apartment building in Apple Valley. Sound levels were then estimated for the order point and pickup locations in Apple Valley and found to be below the existing ambient level and well below state noise standards. Engine or exhaust noise from observed vehicles in the Brooklyn Park drive -thru was very low and mostly masked by highway noise. An improved 8 foot solid fence or sound barrier is nevertheless recommended as a replacement to the existing fence in Apple Valley to mitigate potential noise from vehicles immediately adjacent to the property line. If headlight impact is to be minimized, the fence would probably have to be approximately 14 to 15 feet high. This memorandum presents findings of our noise assessment of the proposed drive -thru at the Caribou Coffee facility located at 14638 Cedar Avenue in Apple Valley, Minnesota. Location of the facility is shown on the aerial photograph in Exhibit 1. Existing Background Sound Levels in Apple Valley 30 April 2014 Background sound levels were monitored over a 17.5 hour period (Tuesday 3 pm 22 April to Wednesday 8:30 am 23 April) that included the quietest time period the day and therefore, the most critical time for potential noise impacts from the proposed drive thru. The readings reflect sound levels primarily from traffic on Cedar Avenue which is a designated state highway and a major commuting arterial. The daily volume in 2011 was 45,000 and could be approaching 50,000 in 2014. Location of these background readings are shown on Exhibit 2. The most critical time for potential noise impact from the drive -thru is between 5 am when the drive -thru opens and is within the nighttime Minnesota noise standard, and 7 am, the nighttime period ends. The monitored 1- second average Leq (average sound levels) between 5 and 7 am are shown on Exhibit 3. The density of traffic is fairly constant during this period with the average sound level increasing from about 55 dBA at 5 am to 60 dBA at 7 am. y: \jobs \2014j ob s \214011 \report \c aribou -c offee- noise -as ses sment. doc Page 14 of 30 Caribou Coffee — Apple Valley, MN — Drive -thru Noise Assessment Page 2 Observations from an Existing Drive -thru in Brooklyn Park To provide some background information, observations and sound levels were taken at the Brooklyn Park Caribou Coffee location (Colorado Lane North adjacent to Zane Avenue). This location was identified by Jerry Roper, Caribou Coffee, as having a somewhat similar layout. The sound meter was located approximately 15 feet from the entrance roadway and 25 feet from the intercom loudspeaker. Vehicles provided some limited shielding of the loudspeaker at the meter for cars and less with SUVs, but the effect did not appear to be significant. The sound level meter location is shown on Exhibit 4. The order point intercom and pick up locations are identified on the aerial. Sound levels from vehicles were quite low, generally close to idle, although several vehicles were observed with more rumbly exhaust systems. No motorcycles or cars with a pronounced exhaust sound were observed and could be louder, although close to idle, these levels are likely to be close to background noise from Zane Avenue. The most obvious sound associated with the drive -thru was from conversations at the order point loudspeaker, with less conversation at the pickup. Because of the background noise from adjacent Zane Avenue, identifying drive -thru vehicle and related loudspeaker sound is challenging. Traffic volume on Zane Avenue in 2011 was report at 17,000 vehicles per day.The one - second sound level time history at Brooklyn Park is shown on Exhibit 5. This shows a similar increase as in Apple Valley although the range in sound levels is smaller there. To help identify sound associated with the drive -thru, primarily speech from loudspeakers, since vehicle noise was essential at background levels, the sound level spectra are compared. Sixty one - second "background" sound level spectra for the minute 6:02 to 6:03 am, during which the drive -thru was unoccupied, are shown on Exhibit 6. The peaks at 31.5 Hz represent engine noise from vehicles on Zane Avenue while the peaks at 1000 Hz represent tire /pavement noise. Sixty one - second sound level spectra for the minute 5:55 to 5:56 am, with two vehicles and audible loudspeaker usage, are shown on Exhibit 7. Differences between the background and occupied drive -thru spectra are primarily between the 500 Hz and 2000 Hz octave bands. While not all of this can be directly related to the loudspeaker, the typical voice spectrum for a female, who was handling the takeout when readings were taken, lies somewhere near this range. The 500 Hz time history is shown on Exhibit 8. One might imagine that the denser curves when loudspeaker talking was observed could be related to the loudspeakers. These state noise standard are expressed in terms of L10 (level not to be exceeded for 10% of an hour and L50 (level not to be exceeded for 50% of an hour). While the one - minute L10 values shown on Exhibit 9 are only a surrogate for the hourly standard, they do show that, even when vehicles are present, the L10 is not likely to exceed 62 dBA. Evaluation of Potential Drive -thru Impact in Apple Valley The proposed drive -thru is superimposed in Exhibit 10 on an aerial photograph at the Caribou Coffee location in Apple Valley. This exhibit shows the close proximity of the drive -thru relative to the adjacent apartment complex, and identifies locations of the order point and pickup loudspeakers. The distance from the loudspeakers to the apartment building are greater than the monitored distance described above, so adjusted for distance, the order point (1- minute L10) level is estimated to be 51 dBA at the apartment building while the pickup level is estimated to be 56 dBA at the apartment building. y: \jobs \2014j ob s \214011 \report \c aribou- coffee - noise -as ses sment. doc Page 15 of 30 Caribou Coffee — Apple Valley, MN — Drive -thru Noise Assessment Page 3 On Exhibit 11 these levels are plotted against the monitored 1- minute L10 level between 5 and 7 am at the Apple Valley location and seen to fall well below the existing ambient level when the drive thru is in operation .The levels would also be well below the state noise standards for the adjacent residential property. While it is difficult to estimate potential impacts from vehicle - related noise, it is recommended, because of the proximity of the drive -thru to the adjacent apartment building, that the light- weight wood fence between the properties be replaced with a 3 /4' ' wood plank (or denser material) with no air gaps at least 8 feet high or higher if within zoning guidelines. This would provide some reduction in vehicle noise which is not really provide by the existing fence. If shielding of headlights is provided, a wall height of approximately 14 feet may be needed. The findings here do not exclude the possibility of audible sound from the drive -thru when there is little or no noise from Cedar Avenue or other sources. Speech could be audible, even if 15 dBA below the ambient dBA level, depending upon speech content and background spectrum. Vehicles with loud audio systems, especially very high boomy base, that can be heard a block or so away, could be problematical. However, under normal operation and traffic volumes on Cedar Avenue, and typical vehicles accessing the drive -thru, sound level are expected to be well below state noise standards and usually masked by traffic noise from Cedar Avenue. y: \jobs \2014j ob s \214011 \report \c aribou- coffee - noise -as ses sment. doc Page 16 of 30 4 � I1.1. 1.' ■ z 0 O U N ct U O LO 0 LO 0 LO CD CD Lc, (yep) lanai punos LC) LO Q9:9 017:179:9 00:E9:9 0E:617:9 017:9 00:1717:9 OE:I-17:9 017:8C:9 00:9C:9 OE:CC:9 017:0C:9 00:8E:9 0E:9E:9 Q1::9 00:0E:9 OE:L I.:9 017:171:9 00:E [:9 OE:60:9 017:90:9 00:170:9 Q0:9 017:89:9 00:99:9 OE:C9:9 017:09:9 00:817:9 OE:917:9 017:E17:9 00:017:9 OE:LC:9 017:17C:9 00:C:9 0E:6E:9 017:9E:9 00:17E:9 OE: I-E:9 017:81:9 00:91:9 OE:C I.:9 017:01.:9 00:80:9 OE:90:9 017:EO:9 00:00:9 , i- 71' o co O -..- O ;CI N H W ■■1 ■ ■ ■ ■ M ..■ In c. in c. in N- N- CD CD in (veP) xewl 0 LO 99:60:L 90:Q: 9 1-:00:L 9E:89:9 9C:99:9 917:179:9 99:E9:9 90: 1-9:9 91:617:9 9E:L17:9 9C:917:9 917:C17:9 99: 90:017:9 9 1-:8C:9 9E:9C:9 9C:17C:9 917:EC:9 99:0C:9 90:6E:9 9 1-:LE:9 9E:9E:9 0 9C:CE:9 E 1- 9: 1-E:9 99:61:9 90:81:9 91:91:9 9E:171:9 9C:E I.:9 917:01:9 99:80:9 90:L0:9 91:90:9 9E:C0:9 9C: 1-0:9 917:69:9 99:L9:9 90:99:9 9 I- :179:9 9E:E9:9 9C:09:9 917:817:9 99:917:9 90:917:9 9 I- :C17:9 .1- N 0 6 0 0 ) CO N CO 0 L (8p) lanai punos CO O T O M E.

APPLICANT: Minnesota ("MVTA") Valley Transit Authority PROJECT NUMBER: PC14-15-SZIB APPLICATION DATE: May 7, 2014 60 DAYS: July 4, 2014 120 DAYS: September 2, 2014 city of App e Val ley Background ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 5B June 4, 2014 Public Hearing ITEM DESCRIPTION: Menard 2" Addition/MVTA Bus Layover Facility Site Plan STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Dykes, Planner DEPARTM ENT/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 applicant is requesting the following actions: • 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. Zoning: In 2008, the 10-acre lot was rezoned to "PD-507, Zones 7a and 7b". Zone 7a regulates the western 6 acres of the site, which is the location of the Apple Valley Transit Station ("AVTS"). Zone 7b regulates the eastern 4 acres of the site, which is where the bus layover facility and temporary parking lot will be located. Zone 7a currently allows the transit station, the platform, and the parking ramp as permitted uses and the surface parking lot as a permitted accessory use. The subzone does not allow bus layover facilities. Zone 7b allows high density commercial and housing as permitted uses. The project requires two zoning actions: 1) Amend "PD-507, Zone 7a" to allow for bus layover facilities, and necessary changes to the ordinance due to the proposed site plan; and 2) Rezone the future bus layover site from "PD-507, Zone 7b" to "PD-507, Zone 7a". The remaining future lot that is to be used on an interim basis for a parking lot will remain zoned "PD-507, 7b". Subdivision: The 10-acre lot is currently platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Menard Addition. The preliminary plat for Menard 2 Addition shows two lots. Lot 1, which will be used for the existing AVTS, parking ramp, lot, and future bus layover facility, is approximately 7.7 acres. Lot 2, which will be used for the interim parking lot, is approximately 2.3 acres. Though the lot configuration is atypical, it keeps the uses separated. Staff believes a trail connection will be needed from the transit site to the lots to the north. A possible trail connection from the existing sidewalk that bisects the site north to south to the ApplianceSmart site would remove about 14 parking spaces. The construction of the trail would not be needed until the two additional parking decks are constructed. A pedestrian connection easement should be dedicated as part of the plat. Staff continues to work with the adjacent property owners on a design that will allow transit riders to access the existing retail users north of the site. Interim Use Permit: The applicant is proposing a 231-space temporary parking lot as an overflow lot for transit riders on the future smaller lot. The applicant states the lot is needed because there is not sufficient parking on the site, and, due to federal transportation requirements, they must abandon the current overflow lot south of the subject parcel on the former transit site (southeast of Gaslight Drive and 155 St. W). Staff 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. Site Plan: The 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. The bus layover area will have curbing to prevent transit riders from entering the area. The plan also shows a 231-space temporary parking lot. This portion of the subject site is currently composed of gravel and concrete. The bus layover area will be surfaced with concrete, and the temporary parking lot will be composed of bituminous pavement. The entire area will be restriped. Due to the increase in impervious surface area, the plan shows an infiltration basin on the northeast corner of the site. All utilities are available to the lot. The City Engineer had no concerns about the stormwater infiltration basins. The driver's building is composed of rockface block, which is consistent with AVTS. The building has the distinctive "swoop" on the roofline that mimics AVTS. The building will have restrooms, a break area, and vending machines; it will not be open to the general public. Staff has no issues with the proposed building. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) 1. Area Map 2. Comp Plan Map 3. Zoning Map 4. Proposed Zoning 5. Preliminary Plat 6. Existing Site/ Demolition Plan 7.

The Mixed Use areas contain a mix of retail and service businesses, office, institutional, medium- and high- density residential, transit, and park uses. Provided the future use of property includes a mix of housing and/or commercial, and the transit uses, the property would be considered Mixed Use. No change to the Comprehensive Plan designation is requested. Zoning: The property is zoned "PD-507, Zones 7a and 7b". Zone 7a regulates the western 6 acres of the site, which is the location of the Apple Valley Transit Station ("AVTS"). Zone 7b regulates the eastern 4 acres of the site, which is where the bus layover facility and temporary parking lot will be located. Zone 7a currently allows the transit station, the platform, and the parking ramp as permitted uses and the surface parking lot as a permitted accessory use. The subzone does not allow bus layover facilities. Zone 7b allows high density commercial and housing as permitted uses. The mix of commercial, housing and transit uses is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant states 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 concerned that the addition of the layover facility will remove land that is zoned for mixed use development. While the proposed Lot 2 will retain its zoning for mixed use, the proposed Lot 1 will not. Staff believes the possibility of development occurring over the layover facility should be retained. However, MVTA states that there is grant money must be expended by the end of the year for the construction of the layover facility. In order to allow the MVTA to build the bus layover facility, the zoning must be amended. The proposal requires two zoning actions: (1) Amend the zoning ordinance to allow for bus layover facilities, and make necessary changes to the ordinance to accommodate the proposed subdivision and site plan. Staff comments: If the zoning ordinance is to be amended to allow for bus layover facilities, staff believes it makes sense to amend Zone 7a to allow the facility as a permitted use. (2) Rezone the future bus layover site from "PD-507, Zone 7b" to "PD-507, Zone 7a". The remaining future lot (Lot 2) that is to be used on an interim basis for a parking lot will remain zoned "PD-507, 7b". Staff comments: If the City does rezone the bus layover area, and redevelopment were to occur in the future, then the property would need to be rezoned. Staff believes retaining the existing zoning for the future Lot 2 is needed so that the property can be redeveloped in the future for commercial or housing uses. Subdivision: The applicant is requesting a subdivision by preliminary plat of the subject 10-acre lot. The lot is currently platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Menard Addition. The proposed subdivision, "Menard 2 Addition" divides the property into two lots: Lot 1, which is the site of the AVTS and the proposed bus layover facility, is approximately 7.7 acres. Lot 2, which is the proposed temporary parking lot, is approximately 2.3 acres. Though the lot configuration is atypical, it keeps the uses separated. Staff believes a sidewalk connection will be needed from the transit site to the lots to the north. A possible sidewalk connection that could work would extend the existing 6'-wide sidewalk that bisects the site north to south, turn east and connect with the ApplianceSmart site. This sidewalk configuration would remove about 14 parking spaces. The construction of the sidewalk would not be needed until the two additional parking decks are constructed. A pedestrian connection easement for the 6'-wide sidewalk extension should be dedicated on the plat. Recreation Issues: The future development of Lot 2 will require park dedication. The park dedication may be fulfilled by cash-in-lieu of land. The amount shall be determined at the time of site plan review/building permit authorization. Park dedication for Lot 1 may be waived if the sidewalk extension to the ApplianceSmart lot to the north is dedicated. Future Development Potential of Layover Area: With the addition of the layover area, staff is concerned about the loss of future development potential for the site. When the AVTS was developed in 2008, the City understood that the east four (4) acres would be redeveloped for commercial and/or multi- family housing. The loss of 1.7 acres of the site to a transit use may reduce the development potential of the remaining 2.3 acres for Lot 2. With that in mind, staff believes there is the potential for future development of the layover area. Staff believes commercial and/or housing should be integrated over the layover area. This was done at the Grand River Station in La Crosse, WI (see attached material); however, that development received over $16 million in funding from federal, state, and local governments. Staff believes the development potential of the layover area should be retained to intensify land uses in this area in the future. Staff believes an agreement or understanding could be crafted with the MVTA that would allow the bus layover to be constructed, but still allow for the future development of the layover area in the future. 4 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\MVTA Layover Site\PC\060414 MVTA PC reportl.docx Interim Use Permit: The applicant is proposing a 231-space temporary parking lot as an overflow lot for transit riders on the future smaller lot. The applicant states the lot is needed because there is not sufficient parking on the site, and, due to federal transportation requirements, they must abandon the current overflow lot south of the subject parcel on the former transit site (southeast of Gaslight Drive and 155 St. W). MVTA states they are applying for federal transportation funds to construct two (2) additional levels on the existing AVTS parking ramp. However, until that funding is secured and the additional parking decks can be constructed, they need parking for transit riders. MVTA states the earliest construction could begin on the two additional parking decks would be 2019. It would take another 18- to- 24 months to construct the parking decks. According to MVTA, there are 768 parking spaces, including both the parking ramp and surface lot. The existing ramp has approximately 500 spaces on three (3) levels (1 ground, 2 structured). If the two additional levels are constructed on the ramp, the total number of parking spaces could reach about 1,100. Staff 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. Site Plan: The 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. The bus layover area will have curbing to prevent transit riders from entering the area. The area will also be signed so that it will only be available to public transit providers; no other vehicles, including school buses, will be able to use the layover lot. The plan also shows a 231-space temporary parking lot. This portion of the subject site is currently composed of gravel and concrete. The bus layover area will be surfaced with concrete, and the temporary parking lot will be composed of bituminous pavement. The entire area will be restriped. The driver's building will have restrooms, a break area, and vending machines; it will not be open to the general public. Staff has no issues with the proposed building. Street Classifications/Accesses/Circulation: The bus layover area is accessed by a driveway on 155 St. W., which is a minor collector road. The temporary parking lot is accessed by internal driveways from AVTS. Pedestrian Access: There is no pedestrian connection shown from the drivers' building; staff has no issues with the lack of a connection for this building. However, staff believes a sidewalk connection will be needed from the transit site to the lots to the north. A possible sidewalk connection that could work would extend the existing 6'-wide sidewalk that bisects the site north to south, turn east and connect with the ApplianceSmart site. This sidewalk configuration would remove about 14 parking spaces. Staff continues to work with the adjacent property owners on a design that will allow transit riders to access the existing retail users north of the site. 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. Grading Plan: The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and has no major outstanding issues. The increase in impervious surface area requires an infiltration area, which is located on the northeast corner of the site. The City Engineer has no issues with the infiltration basin. 5 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\MVTA Layover Site\PC\060414 MVTA PC reportl.docx Availability of Municipal Utilities: All utilities are available to the site. The owners of Lot 1 and Lot 2 shall enter into private utility easements and maintenance agreement for any utility lines that cross from Lot 1 onto Lot 2. The City Attorney's office will draft the maintenance agreement. Landscape Plan: The temporary parking lot is required to have landscape islands; these are shown on the west side of the parking lot and meet the requirements of the Code. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the plan and has comments that must be addressed by the applicant. He states some of the species shown on the plan should be replaced with others that are more suited for the proposed development. Elevation Drawings: Materials for the driver's building consist of rockface block, which is consistent with AVTS. The building has the distinctive "swoop" on the roofline that mimics AVTS. Staff has no concerns about the building elevations. Public Safety Issues: Attached are the comments from the Fire Marshal and the Crime Prevention Specialist. These comments should be addressed by the applicant. Public Hearing Comments: To be taken. 6 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\MVTA Layover Site\PC\060414 MVTA PC reportl.docx MVTA LAYOVER SITE AREA MAP i53Ra MVTA LAYOVER SITE COMP PLAN MAP "MIX" (Mixed Use) MIX UJ 1 2 MVTA LAYOVER SITE ZONING MAP "PD-507, Zones 7a and 7b" (Planned Development) 3 GO eNPleP° PD-507 Current Zoning: West 6 acres - PD-507, Zone 7a (Existing Apple Valley Transit Station) East 4 acres — PD-507, Zone 7b (Vacant) Proposed Zoning: Future large lot for AVTS and bus layover facility PD-507, Zone 7a Future small lot for interim parking It future commercial — PD-507, Zone 7b MVTA BUS LAYOVER FACILITY SITE Current and Proposed Zoning a < Ce va 0— 0 C.

We wish to present the project at Plan Commission meeting scheduled for June 4, 2014. As you may be aware, we have previously submitted materials related to this project as part of the Sketch Plan Review process. We are scheduled to present the project to the Plan Commission at the meeting scheduled for May 7 2014 and we have reviewed the staff review report prepared for the plan commission. There are two items within the staff review report that we wish to discuss further as this project proceeds through the review process. Those items are: • The length of the Interim use for temporary overflow parking lot: We would like to request the City consider increasing the length of the Interim use to 7 years. This is due to the funding cycle involved for MVTA to obtain federal funding for the additional levels to the parking structure which is 5 years as a best case scenario. It will take and additional two years from that point in time to schedule and construct the additional parking levels. Because of this, we feel a minimum of 7 years is a better length of time and will reduce the likelihood of needing to renew the Interim Use permit at a later date. • The location of the pedestrian path and associated easement connecting the site to the lots to the north: The location the City would like for the path to be placed will result in the elimination of 16 to.24 parking spaces and potentially limit the operations of the both the Apple Valley Transit Station and the Layover Facility. Additionally, there is an existing sidewalk and pedestrian corridor approximately 150 feet to the west that already provides a north/south connection across the site. Apple Valley Bus Layover Facility Site Plan Review May 7, 2014 Page 2 We appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and present this proposed facility.

Bennett, Asst. City Engineer DATE: May 28, 2014 SUBJECT: MVTA Bus Layover Facility Maggie, following are comments on the MVTA Bus Layover Facility plan dated April 28, 2014. Site Plan • The owners of Lot 1 and Lot 2 shall enter into private utility easements and maintenance agreement for any utility lines that cross from Lot 1 onto Lot 2. Ponding, Infiltration & Grading • The storm water non-degradation requirements for the site have been accommodated on-site with the proposed infiltration facility. Utilities • The sanitary sewer connection shall be made east of the manhole with a wye. MEMO Public Works Erosion Control • The applicant shall apply for a Natural Resource Management Permit prior to beginning any site work. • Street sweeping shall be provided as necessary throughout construction. • • • • • City of Apple Valley TO: Maggie Dykes, City Planner FROM: Roy Kingsley, Fire Marshal DATE: May 13, 2014 SUBJECT: MVTA Layover Site MEMO Fire Department • MSFC 505.1 Address Numbers: Requires numbers to be visible from the street. Will building be address off Gaslight drive or 155 St? • MSFC 906.1: Requires fire extinguishers to be installed were needed per the fire code. City of Apple II Valley MEMO Public Works Department TO: Maggie Dykes, City Planner FROM: Jeff Kehrer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: May 23, 2014 SUBJECT: Minnesota Valley Transit Authority Bus Layover Facility Landscape Plan Review After reviewing the landscape plan for the Bus Layover Facility, I have the following comments: * The area between the bus layover and parking lot is less than five feet wide and better suited for narrow crowned ornamental trees than large shade trees. If the shade trees survive, there will be significant conflicts with tree branches and bus traffic. • Norway spruce trees shown along the northern boundary will easily outgrow their space. The area they are shown is about fifteen feet wide and Norway spruce will grow to be 25-30 feet wide. Norway spruce is one of the fastest growing spruce species. This area is better suited for smaller evergreen trees such as techny arborvitae or upright junipers. • The shade trees shown along the north boundary will outgrow their space. At 15 feet wide, this space is probably better suited for ornamental tree species. * There is space for one or two shade trees such as swamp white oak in the bottom of the infiltration area. • Further details on construction of the infiltration area are requested. APPLE VALLEY POLICE Neighborhood Collaborat Officer Program � Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) recommendations for MVTA Layover Site Submitted by: Pam Walter, Crime Prevention S ialist, Apple Valley Police Department Exterior recommendations: 1. Visible display of address on building to allow emergency vehicles to easily locate the property. 2. Exterior doors should be secured with adequate access control (card access or keyed). 3. Adequate lighting on exterior of building — 5 footcandles at entrance and 2 footcandles on sidewalks adjacent to the buliding. 4. Maintain uniform lighting (no more than 10:1 ratio) throughout the surface parking lot. Landscaping: 1. Groundcover plants should not exceed a hei ht 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. 4. Remove existing trees on the east side of the property if on MVTA site. The tree line has become known as the "tree tunnel" by area delinquents. Recommend taking the existing trees down and/or not planting others on that side of the site as indicated on the plans. Adding trees will offer more concealment and make the area more enticing for continued illegal activity. Interior recommendations: 1. Recommend surveillance camera at main entrance point and on any exterior doors. 2. Consider concealment of vending machines located inside the building so as not to be seen from the outside. Coin operated machines are an attraction for vandalism and theft. Please feel free to contact me ifyou have any questions. | can be reached at952'953'Z7O5. APPLE VALLE POLICE Neighborhood Collaboration Project VISION A clean, attractive and safe community, now and in the future. MISSION To be a relational and educational presence in our community and immediately address crime and quality of life issues at their root. Minnesota Valley Transit Authority Apple Valley Layover Comments Need MVTA's mission is to provide "mobility through an efficient, integrated network of equiprnent,faci|itiesandsenices." The goal of the Apple Valley La r p ject is to improve and expand transit operations in Apple Valley and the Cedar corridor. � This p ject is necessary to reduce operational and maintenance costs. There is a si Ulcant cost involved in maintaining both the current Apple Valley Transit Station and the old site. � The Apple Valley Transit Station is currently at full capacity, with another 40-50 passenger vehicles parked in the lot to the south of the site. For safety and maintenance purposes, our goal 15 to provide parking for these passengers on a single site. • MVTA intends to submit egrant application for the additional parking decks during the next round of solicitations. If successful, funds for the decks would be available in 2019, and the construction would take 1 to 2 years. For this reason, MVTA would prefer the overflow parking lot be allowed for a period of 10 years, rather than 5 years. Future Development � The existing 10-acre parcel was acquired by the Dakota County Regional Rail Authority by condemnation for transit purposes. The attached memorandum from Metropolitan Council Attorney Peter Hanf outlines the background and the issues involved in the potential redevelopment of the site. � MVTA does not support the idea of allowing potential development over the ple Valley Layover site. Under the provisions of the grants received for this p ject, the Apple Valley Layover site has a minimum life of 20 years. Structures have a useful life of 20-70 years. • If any commercial development is to occur on the site, it would be limited to the 2-acre overflow parking site. As noted in the attached Hanf memorandum, development on this site for any purpose beyond transit would be subject to approval by many different governing bodies. • MVTA is not a commercial developer. The MVTA Executive Director has discusses opportunities for development at this location with developers on several occasions, but no proposals have come forward in the last 4 years. Pedestrian Easement • MVTA does not support the idea of an additional pedestrian access to the property to the north. This easement would lead to a loading dock area. Until this area is redeveloped, there does not appear to be a need for additional access. O There are already some vandalism and security issues at the transit station. MVTA attempts to deter these events with Iighting and security cameras. The additional access to an unsecured, poorly lit area may only ncrease those issues. • Even if MVTA were to dedicate an easement, there are no funds available for the construction of the sidewalk/ trail. Further, the loss of 14 parking spaces in a facility that is currently over capacity is an issue. • MVTA prefers to pay all required fees at the time of development. 2 O Y.

Summary The property owner, Trident Development, LLC, is requesting the following actions: • Zoning Amendment for change to approved site plan. • Subdivision by preliminary plat of a 5.21-acre lot into two lots. • 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 APPLICANT: Trident Development, LLC APPLICATION DATE: April 23, 2014 60 DAYS: June 21, 2014 PROJECT NUMBER: PC14-14-ZSB 120 DAYS: August 20, 2014 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; this lot will be developed in the future. 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. No driveway access will be allowed to Galaxie Avenue except in the location shown on the site plan. Site Plan: The revised 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. 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 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 developer will construct eight (8) additional surface parking spaces. 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. The developer has indicated that the permanent driveway and parking spaces will be installed on both Lot 2 and Lot 1. The City Engineer has reviewed the revised grading plan and has no major outstanding issues. The Natural Resources Coordinator has no major outstanding issues with the revised landscaping plan. 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's architecture 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. Location Map 2.

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 preliminary 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 plans show that this western lot, Lot 1, could be used future apartment building, though the applicant 4 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\060414 PC Report 2 Legacy 6th Remington.docx indicated that is not planned at this time. Lot 2, which is where the 101-unit Remington Cove apartment building 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 prior to the release of the final plat for filing with Dakota County. 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: Unit Type Studio 1 Bedroom/1 Bath 1 Bedroom + Den/1 Bath 2 Bedroom/2 Bath 3 Bedroom/2 Bath Total Count 9 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 has submitted a revised lighting plan that shows 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. The developer has agreed to install eight (8) additional surface parking stalls, and construct one bumpout parking area should be added on Founders Lane so there is no net loss of on-street parking for this area. These parking spaces are shown on the revised site plan. 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 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 at a minimum, 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 Lot 1 is developed. No 5 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\060414 PC Report 2 Legacy 6th Remington.docx additional vehicle access will be provided from Galaxie Avenue; an access restriction easement will be needed on the plat. Founders Lane is a minor collector and projected to carry 5,000 vehicles per day by 2030. Galaxie Avenue is a major collector and projected to carry 20,000 vehicles per day on the roadway. Both roadways size and function can accommodate the high-density residential apartments that are proposed on this project. Pedestrian Access: The revised plan shows a sidewalk connecting the building to Founders Lane. The future building on Lot 1 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 revised grading plan and has no major outstanding issues. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Municipal utilities are available to the site. There are no major outstanding issues with the utility plan. Landscape Plan: The plan shows a mix of deciduous trees, and foundation plantings. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the revised landscaping plan and has no major outstanding issues. 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. Staff has no concerns with the building elevations or materials. Public Safety Issues: The developer has stated they will address comments from the Fire Marshal, the Building Official, and the Crime Prevention officer. Public Hearing Comments: The public hearing was held May 21, 2014. There were no comments received at the hearing. Staff received one phone call from a resident and one email. Their concerns related to the following issues: • Traffic: A resident asked about traffic impacts. The apartment building could generate about 672 vehicle trips per day, or 6.65 per apartment unit, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (9th Edition, 2012). A vehicle trip is one round trip. Staff has no concerns about the number of vehicle trips to be generated by the apartment development. • Property Values: A resident asked about the potential effect on 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. 6 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\060414 PC Report 2 Legacy 6th Remington.docx • Section 8 Housing: A resident asked whether the apartments would be Section 8 housing. Dakota County Community Development Agency administers all housing programs for the City. Section 8, formally known as the Housing Choice Voucher program, uses the existing private rental market in Dakota County to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing opportunities for low-income families, elderly, handicapped and disabled persons at an affordable cost. Program participants choose a rental unit from the private rental market and the property owner must be willing to accept voucher-assisted tenants. The property owner has stated they will not participate in the Section 8 program. They estimate the average monthly rent for units to be as follows: • Studio Units: $830 - $910 • 1 Bedroom Units: $1200 • 1 Bedroom + Den Units: $1300 * 2 Bedroom Units: $1400 - $1600 * 3 bedroom Units: $1900 7 H:\DEVELOPM\2014 Projects\Remington Cove - Legacy 6th\PC Reports\060414 PC Report 2 Legacy 6th Remington.docx LEGACY 6TH ADDITION/ REMINGTON APARTMENTS AREA MAP 157TH ST W FRISIA LEGACY 6TH ADDITION/ REMINGTON APARTMENTS COMP PLAN MAP "MIX" (Mixed Use) W 3PD 7 9 3 o_EORTINC). _ LEGACY 6TH ADDITION/ REMINGTON APARTMENTS ZONING MAP "PD-716, Zone 2" (Planned Development) FLORIST CIR r i r PD-679 ce Lu 0 154TH ST W FLIGHT WAY 0 -4 6S6Z-68V-E9L. :xeA 006L-68b-£9L KOSS NW 'sa>121 ouri '00T alinS ollodY 8'Z ornA3Auns ..DNILL3.191,13 .1VINMAIN01:11A.

May 29, 2014 Maggie Dykes, Planner Community Development Department City of Apple Valley Municipal Center 7100 147 Street W. Apple Valley, MN 55124 Re: Project Review Memo Proposed Remington Cove Apartments Legacy 6 Addition Dear Ms. Dykes, 3601 8th Street South • Suite #103 • St. Cloud, MN 56301 Phone: 320.258.4438 • Fax: 320.252.3603 HAND DELIVERED We have received and reviewed the project review memorandum referenced above. In it, there are several items for which additional information is asked of the applicant. This letter is intended to provide answers and information requested in the review memo. Exterior Lighting — Enclosed with this letter please find our latest revision to the exterior lighting (photometric) plan together with cut sheets of the proposed exterior light fixtures. We believe this plan and the specified fixtures comply with the City's lighting ordinance. Parking — Due to the shortage of parking provided by the Remington Cove site plan, an additional 8 surface parking spaces will be constructed (and designated by way of parking easement agreement between Lot 1 and Lot 2) on Lot 1 thereby providing a total of 67 surface parking spaces in addition to the 115 underground stalls. This will bring the total parking spaces to 183 or 1.8 per unit. The construction plans will reflect these additional 8 spaces in the scope of construction for Remington Cove. Pedestrian Access — Per the City Engineer's request, we are removing the proposed, mid-block crossing. However, we are evaluating the possibility of constructing an additional walkway/accessible ramp leading from the front entry east to the existing public sidewalk. These changes will be reflected on our revised set of site plans. Grading and Construction Staging - After meeting with the contractor on site, the contractor agrees and understands that 1) no construction, grading or excavating activities may take place on weekends and that weekday hours are also restricted; 2) the undeveloped lot must be rough-graded/leveled to accommodate construction materials staging and storage; 3) the construction entrance will be restricted to only the entrance off of Galaxie Ave. — no construction traffic on Founders Lane; 4) shoring may be required during the construction of the underground parking garage, unless a temporary construction easement is obtained from the neighboring property owner; 5) the vacant, undeveloped lot must continue to be maintained for weeds and erosion control. Landscape Plan — The landscape plan has been revised to address the comments by Natural Resources Coordinator. The revised plans accompany this letter. The landscape plan also incorporates some new hardscape designs (i.e. colored, stamped concrete walks, pergola, etc.). The landscape budget is being revised to include these new features and should be completed soon. Our consultants are completing and submitting their plan revisions and response memos which you will receive under separate cover. Thank you again for your assistance and support of this application. Please let us know of any additional questions or concerns. We trust these responses and revisions will fulfill the requirements of our next Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 4th Regards, J - id Development, LLC Roger ink Sr. Vice President Enclosures C: Jeff Drown, Trident Development, LLC Dean Stienessen, BMA Architects (via e-mail) Joe Radach, Carlson McCain (via e-mail) Kathy O'Connell, Land Matters (via e-mail) Tony Gleekel, Siegel Brill, PA (via e-mail) CITY OF Apple Valley TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: • • APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO CITY ENGINEER MEMO Maggie Dykes David E. Bennett, Asst. City Engineer May 14, 2014 Legacy 6 — Remington Apts. Maggie, following are comments on the Legacy 6 Apts. plan dated April 24, 2014. 1 Founders Lane • The applicant shall obtain a right-of-way permit prior to completing any work in Founders Lane. Comment noted. • The street shall be restored to City standards. The street shall be patched out to the centerline of Founders Lane. Per our conversation, Founders Lane will be patched out to the centerline of the southerly lane of travel. Street restoration will match the existing section. • The proposed pavement markings for the existing pedestrian crossing across Founders Ln shall be removed from the plan. Pedestrian crossing removed. Utility Removals • The catch basin and storm sewer pipe 85' east of the west sanitary stub shall be removed and bulkheaded in the catch basin. Per our conversation, this catch basin will remain in place for future use. • The storm sewer pipe on the north side of Lot 2 shall be abandoned(sand filled or grouted) and each end of the pipe bulkheaded. Per our conversation, this catch basin will remain in place for connection of downspouts and trench drain. Ponding, Infiltration & Grading • The storm water non-degradation requirements for the site have been accommodated in the infiltration zone in the existing pond on the west side of Galaxie Avenue. Comment noted. Utilities • An 8 inch gate valve shall be installed on each side of the tee that provides water service to Lot 1 and Lot 2. The domestic and fire line shall be split outside the building and each shall have their own shutoff valve. Plans revised accordingly. APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO CITY ENGINEER MEMO • It appears that the public water line along the south property line is outside the easement, please confirm this location and verify with City as-built records. If necessary, additional drainage and utility easement shall be provided. Plan revised to show water line in easement per City as-built drawings. Site Plan • On the east side of Lot 2, the driveway that abuts the Lot 2 property line, install concrete curb and gutter along the driveway edge. This improvement would need to be made off of the property in question. Trident Development is attempting to make contact with the adjacent land owner to determine if construction of this concrete curb is desired. Trident Development will be requesting the adjacent landowner to pay for this improvement as it is off site and does not serve the property in question. Trident Development does not intend to install this improvement without an agreement with the adjacent landowner. • The south east-west 24 foot wide driveway shall be extended across Lot 1 for access to Lot 2. The east-west driveway may be closed during construction on Lot 1, and then reopened. Comment noted. Trident Development intends to complete this construction during Phase 1. Construction Staging and Laydown • The applicant shall provide a narrative of how the buildings will be constructed and any impacts. The narrative shall include the following: • Shoring and construction of the underground garage • Impacts to motor vehicles and pedestrians along Galaxie Ave. and Founders Lane. • Material Staging o Haul routes to and from the site See project narrative from Trident Development. Erosion Control • The applicant shall apply for a Natural Resource Management Permit prior to beginning any site work. Comment noted. • Street sweeping shall be provided as necessary throughout construction. Comment noted. 2 APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO NATURAL RESOURCES ME. 4.* City of Apple Valley MEMO Public Works Department TO: Maggie Dykes, City Planner FROM: Jeff Kehrer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: May 7, 2014 SUBJECT: Legacy 6 Remington Cove Apartments Landscape Plan Review 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. LandMatters- Trees were moved a minimum 8' from sidewalk. • 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. Landmatters- Red Jewel crabappletree symbol was changed to reflect actual maximum canopy spread of 12' diameter. Per conversation with Jeff Kehrer, Red Jewel crabs are ok to use. • 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. LandMatters- Viburnum lentago were substituted. They have an 8' canopy spread. • 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. LandMatters- The Linden were replaced with Honeylocust. • 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. LandMatters- The Honeylocust trees were replaced with Red Jewel crabs. Legacy 6th Addition- Remington Cove Apartments ••• 0000 • •••• •••0 App Va��ey Presentation to the Planning Commission June 4, 2014 Applicant's Request • Zoning Amendment for change to approved site plan. • Subdivision by preliminary plat of a 5.21 -acre lot into two lots. • Site Plan Review /Building permit authorization for one 101 -unit apartment building.

The site is located in the southwest corner of 158 Street West and Emperor Avenue. STAFF CONTACT: Thomas Lovelace, City Planner ITEM: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: SECTION: 1 DEPARTM ENT/DIVISION: Community Development Dept. Action Requested If the Planning Commission concurs, staff is recommending the following actions: 1. Recommend approval of the rezoning of Outlot 0, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3 ' 1 • 1 DITION from Planned Development No. 703/zone 8 to Planned Development No. 703/zone 6. 2. Recommend approval of an amendment to Planned Development No. 703 to include daycare centers/preschools as permitted uses in zone 6. 3. Recommend approval of the COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERC preliminary subject to the following revision: 5TH 6B June 4, 2014 Land Use DITION • The 30-foot wide easement in Lot 2 shall be increased to 33 feet and an additional 10 feet of drainage and utility easement shall be provided in the northeast corner of Lot 2, parallel to the proposed storm line. 4. Recommend approval of the site plan/building permit authorization to allow for construction of a 10,850 sq. ft. daycare center and 31 surface parking spaces in accordance with the plans dated May 29, 2014, subject to the following conditions: • A maintenance agreement shall be executed to ensure the ongoing function of the infiltration basin prior to issuance of a building permit. • An integrally colored decorative block shall be required in place of the painted smooth face concrete block for the trash enclosure. 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. These new lots should be part of this agreement. Information has been provided which shows that the subject property is already part of the recorded agreement. The site plan shows 31 surface parking spaces for a 10,850 sq. ft. building footprint, which has 10,593 sq. ft. of usable area. The minimum required parking for a facility of this size is 31 spaces. The site plan indicates a storm water infiltration basin located just west of Emperor Avenue. A maintenance agreement shall be executed to ensure the ongoing function of the infiltration basin. APPLICANT: South Shore Development, Inc. and Red Mountain Retail Group PROJECT NUMBER: PC14-12-ZB and PC14-13-SF APPLICATION DATE: April 21, 2014 60 DAYS: June 20, 2014 120 DAYS: August 19, 2014 A bike rack is required for this building in accordance with the planned development ordinance requirements. The revised site plan shows a bike rack located to the south of the front elevation. The applicant did not provide information on what the exterior finish of the trash enclosure's wall with their initial submission. Plans have been submitted that shows a "Quik Brick" wainscot and painted smooth face concrete block. An integrally colored decorative block shall be required in place of the painted smooth face concrete block. The applicant did not submit outdoor play area fencing material information with their initial submission. Staff indicated that the fence should be made of maintenance free decorative material. The applicant has submitted plans that indicate that the playground will be enclosed with a white steel fence. 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. Staff requested that the storm sewer line be moved east into the 30-foot drainage and utility easement located west of the east property line and that line should tie into an existing manhole in Outlot N. The applicant has relocated the line in accordance with staff's recommendations. The applicant has submitted revised plans that show a stamped concrete sidewalk connection from the sidewalk along the private street to the front of the building in accordance with the planned development ordinance. No pedestrian connections are being proposed to the Pilot Knob Road pathway. Staff initially recommended that a direct pedestrian connection from the site to the Pilot Knob Road pathway be made. The applicant has submitted a letter that provides their rationale for not putting in this pedestrian connection. Staff believes that these are legitimate reasons and are recommending that a sidewalk from the site to Pilot Knob Road be installed. The Dakota County Plat Commission is requiring that a 25-foot buffer area for the future Pilot Knob Road/160 Street West interchange be shown on the final plat, which they have done.

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. PD 703 11 PD-703 . 7 ZONING MAP DESIGNATION "PD-703/zone 6" (Planned Development) Preliminary Plat: The applicant is proposing to subdivide the Outlot 0, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD 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. Staff stated that this agreement should be amended to include the new lots prior to approval of the final plat. Review of the existing agreement shows that the Outlot 0 is currently included. Therefore, no amendments are required. Drainage and utility easements are shown adjacent to the property lines and are sized in accordance with City requirements and the subdivision code with one exception. The 30-foot wide easement in Lot 2 shall be increased to 33 feet and an additional 10 feet of drainage and utility easement shall be provided in the northeast corner of Lot 2, parallel to the proposed storm line. 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 property and cross access easements between the abutting property owners has been previously executed 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 10,850 sq. ft. building footprint. Parking requirements for a day care center is 10 spaces, plus one (1) space for each 500 square feet in the principal structure. Therefore, using the building footprint square footage, the minimum required parking for this facility would be 32 spaces. The applicant has provided a more detailed calculation that identifies 10,593 sq. ft. of building floor area. Based upon the revised calculation, the required parking for this facility would be 31 spaces. Their revised plans show the minimum required parking. 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 maintenance agreement shall be executed prior to issuance of a building permit to ensure 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 revised plans show bike rack just south of the front entrance. All refuse enclosures shall be complexly enclosed and constructed of the same exterior finish materials as the principal structure. The site plan shows a trash enclosure at the west end of south row of parking. The original plans did not provide information on what the exterior finish of the enclosure's walls will be. Revised Plans have been submitted that shows a "Quik Brick" wainscot and painted smooth face concrete block. An integrally colored decorative block shall be required in place of the painted smooth face concrete block. A fence will be constructed around the outdoor play area located south and west of the building. The applicant did not submit information on what the fencing material would be with their application. The fence should be made of maintenance free decorative material. Plans that indicate that the playground will be enclosed with a white steel fence. Staff has no issue with the proposed fencing 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 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 recommended 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. The applicant has submitted revised plans that show a stamped concrete sidewalk connection from the sidewalk along the private street to the front of the building 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 applicant is requesting that they not be required to install this section of sidewalk and has submitted a letter outlining their reasons why. 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: The public hearing was held on May 21, 2014. A couple of comments were received regarding the increase in traffic and sightlines at the intersection of 157 Street West and Emperor Avenue. The applicant has submitted a letter that addresses traffic impacts that this facility will have. Although a daycare use was never specifically identified in the plans and traffic studies prepared for the Cobblestone Lake development and Cobblestone Lake Commercial project, this property has always been intended for commercial or mixed uses. The street system has been designed and constructed based upon the finding of the studies and should be able to accommodate the traffic generated by the proposed use. As to the question of the vegetation in the 157 Street West median, staff will work with the appropriate parties to see if some landscape modifications can be made. May 28, 2014 Dear Tom: TheCornOrstone, Mr. Tom Lovelace Senior Planner City of Apple VaIley 7100 147 Street Wes Apple Valley, Minnesota 55124 Per your request for additional information and documentation regarding the proposed Prestige Preschool as part of the Cobblestone Lake Commercial development in Apple Valley, Minnesota and the pedestrian connection to the Pilot Knob Road pathway 1 am sending you this letter to address comments made in the Staff Report dated May 21, 2015. As stated in the Staff Report, we did not make the pedestrian connection as part of the proposed site plan and development, based on the following rationale: w Security: This was raised as the primary concern by Prestige Preschool. With this path being accessed by the general public from both along Pilot Knob Road and from, along with it passing adjacent to the building and the outdoor play area, security and management of the premises becomes a deep concern. Although security measures are in place within the building and externally via fencing of the play area, this in addition to the removal of the path drastically reduces the security risks to the safety and well-being of the children attending the school. • Grade Differential: The grade between the site elevation of the property and the elevation of sidewalk along Pilot Knob Road is substantial (in excess of9 feet). The connection to accommodate this, while anticipating an ADA-based design to the path, would require substantial area to facilitate the path. • Existing Connections: Currently, there is a connection in place from Pilot Knob Road to Cobblestone Lake Commercial at the intersection of 157 Street West. This connection exists, along with the path oun//eLting Cobblestone Lake Commercial project to the west side of Pilot Knob Road via tunnel, as key pedestrian access points to the area. In addition, as part of the development of the site and in accordance with the pedestrian movement and intent of the overall project, we will be providing pedestrian access from Emperor Avenue to the entrance to the facility. We felt these connections provide access to the overall project in the spirit of the pedestrian intent of the development.

Jacob Fick, South Shore Development, LLC Mark Eisenberg/Steve Bush, Prestige Preschools May 27, 2014 Dear Tom: Mr. Tom Lovelace Senior Planner City of A le Valley 7100 147 Street Wes Apple Valley, Minnesota 55124 The. C.ornerstione, Per your request for additional information and documentation regarding the proposed Prestige Preschool as part ofthe Cobblestone Lake Commercial development in Apple Valley, Minnesota, below is a list of key factors related to the facility and our anticipated traffic flow related to the site and area. Based on the size of the facility proposed it is anticipated that the Prestige Preschool Academy of Apple VaIley will be licensed for approx 206 children, including private kindergarten, before and after school, and haif day programs. This will be identified during the licensing process. The hours of operation will be from 6:30am to 6:30 pm Monday thru Friday. The preschool is closed on the weekend. The following is a breakdown of traffic fiow related to the site, modeling after similar Iocations that are currently in operation. The information below provides insight on the process related to the drop-off and pick-up of the students: • Parents/guardians are required to physically bring their child into the center and sign them in both with a written signature as well as on our touch screen login system. The process of pick up is similar. This process generally takes from 3 to 5 minutes. Pickup usually takes from 4 to 6 minutes as teachers give the pick-up person a summary of the days activities, work done during the day and/or homework. O It is anticipated that some of the parents will be using the Park and Ride facility to the west as part 0 1: Quarry Park. With the access to the facility via the tunnel under Pilot Knob Road and the path adjacent the site, this will provide off- iteparkingandvvo|kingaccesstotheschooi • Prestige buses pick children up at the elementary schools in the area and transport them to the preschool at different times of the day dependine on demand. Depending on demand children may be transported to the elementary school in the morning while others may be dropped off at the elementary schools by their parents and brought to the facility for after school programs only and require pick-up only. After school children usually arrive at the center between 2:30 and 3:OOpm, during non-peak periods. After use the buses are parked at the far end of the parking lot away from traffic as part of the staff parking area. Construction 1 Project Management Re- Estate Development 669 North Medina Street P.O. Box 8 Loretto, MN 55357 763.479.1300 763.479.3267 faxwww.shingo • Staff members will park in the areas furthest from the entrance and on the side opposite the entrance to allow parents bringing children into the preschool to park closer to the entrance. The eastern ends of the property/parking area will be designated for staff parking. This allows parents/guardians bringing their children into the preschool to avoid crossing traffic as they move from their cars to the entrance of the building and vice versa. During peak hours of operation the number of staif on hand averages between 13 and 16. It is anticipated that s taff will use Iocal transportation while others carpool or often dropped off by a spouse or friend. • Parents/guardians pick up and drop off children throughout the day. A dozen or so families typically drop off early and leave late. Parents of haif day children are generaily picked up between 12:00 noon and 12:3Opm. The heaviest drop off time is between @:OOa.m. and 9:4Sam. The peak pick up time is between 4:30 p.m. and 5:45pm. The number of parents/guardians bringing children into the preschool or picking up at the same time usually peaks for a full center at about 10 to 15. Since there are no specific times for classes to begin or end at the preschool, parents and children arrive with and 1 or leave with their children at staggered times. This fact along with the requirement that children are signed in individually with their parent or guardian parking in the parking lot alleviates concern regarding stacking and traffic. After 6:30 p.m. during weekdays and all through the weekend there is no traffic generated. Part of the reason for our site selection was to support the area and supplement the existing business in the area. With many of the students and their families live in the nearby Cobblestone Lake Community, certain amount of foot traffic based on the path and trail system of Cobblestone Lake and its connection to the Cobblestone Commercial will be utilized. In addition, with our ocation adjacent to a series of businesses and retail uses, our location will provide the ability for families to drop-off and pick-up based on current use of the facility, reducing additional trips. We hope this information provides further detail as it relates to the minimal traffic impact the Prestige Preschool Academy will have to the Cobblestone Commercial area.

A maintenance agreement should be executed to ensure the ongoing • function of a storm water infiltration basin located just west of Emperor Avenue. A bike rack should be installed somewhere adjacent to the front • entrance of the building. ISSUES The original plans did not have information on what the exterior finish of • the trash enclosure’s walls would be. All refuse enclosures shall be complexly enclosed and constructed of the same exterior finish materials as the principal structure. The applicant did not submit information on what the outdoor play area • fencing material would 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. ISSUES 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 proposed to the Pilot • Knob Road pathway.

Zoning: The property is zoned for retail businesses, and the use is consistent with the zoning. Site Plan: The site plan shows the construction of a 28' x 35' canopy and two asphalt drive lanes to accommodate valet service at Tide Dry Cleaners, which will be located at the west end of south Time Square Shopping Center building and occupy approximately 3,255 sq. ft. Each drive lane is 11 feet wide. Employees of Tide will meet customers in the drive lanes, and pick up or drop off their laundry at the cars. The company estimates about 60% of their customers will use the valet service, and about 40% will bring their laundry into the store. The company did not have an estimate of the number of customers that will use the business. Tide states that each transaction generally takes less than one minute to complete. The dry cleaning operation will occur on site. The existing tenant doors will be relocated on the north and south building sides to accommodate the use. A sliding door to the lobby will be located on the west side of the building. The drive lanes and canopy will require the removal of approximately 2,800 sq. ft. of green space. This area to the west of the existing building has been a planned expansion area for the shopping center. The applicant is proposing two raingardens to accommodate the additional impervious surface area. Parking: The proposed paved area will be 22' wide and accommodate two drive lanes. The proposal does not remove any existing parking. There is sufficient parking on site to accommodate the use. Accesses/Circulation: The drive lanes and valet service is accessed from the parking lot to the north. Customers exit to the south and would be directed to the west to exit the site. Pedestrian Access: Existing pedestrian access is located on the site; the proposal does not require additional pedestrian access. 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 proposed 3,255 sq. ft. tenant space is allotted 119 sq. ft. of total signage for the use. The allotted signage may be split between the existing ground sign and the building in whatever configuration is agreed to by the property owner and the tenant. Grading Plan: The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and the stormwater infiltration plan. He has no major issues, but a maintenance agreement is needed to ensure the long-term operation of the infiltration area is addressed. The City Attorney's office will need to draw up the agreement. Availability of Municipal Utilities: Municipal utilities are available to the site. Landscape Plan: The plan shows the removal of five (5) trees. The applicant is installing two deciduous trees (Autumn Blaze maples), and four coniferous trees (Austrian pines). Additionally, the applicant is installing a variety of ground plantings in the stormwater infiltration areas. The Natural Resources Coordinator has reviewed the plan and has comments that must be addressed. His comments are attached. Elevation Drawings: The building materials consist EIFS and rockface block. The EIFS will be on the front (north) building face. The existing painted CMU on the south building face will be repainted the same color as the north building face. Public Safety Issues: None identified. Public Hearing Comments: N/A.

Bennett, Asst. City Engineer DATE: May 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Tide Dry Cleaners Maggie, following are comments on the Tide Dry Cleaner plan dated May 27, 2014. MEMO Public Works Ponding, Infiltration & Grading • The storm water non-degradation requirements for the site have been accommodated on-site with the proposed infiltration facilities. • The applicant shall enter into a maintenance agreement to ensure the long term operation of the infiltration facilities. Erosion Control • The applicant shall apply for a Natural Resource Management Permit prior to beginning any site work. • Street sweeping shall be provided as necessary throughout construction. City of Apple 11 Valley TO: Maggie Dykes, City Planner FROM: Jeff Kehrer, Natural Resources Coordinator DATE: May 30, 2014 SUBJECT: Tide Dry Cleaners Landscape Plan Review After reviewing the landscape plan for the Tide Dry Cleaners, I have the following comments: MEMO Public Works Department • An additional tree should be removed due to crown dieback and trunk decay. The tree is a green ash, 11" diameter and located in the southeast comer near the rain garden. There would be no mitigation for this tree. • Autumn blaze maple is a fast growing tree requiring routine pruning to prevent co- dominant leaders and future branch failure. This specie also has shallow roots that cause uplifting of hard surfaces and difficulty for mowing. I recommend a different species such as swamp white oak, honeylocust or linden for reduced maintenance needs. 3 Rain garden note #24 states soils used in the rain gardens would include topsoil and possibly clay, neither of which is allowable. Raingarden soils should be a mixture of sand and compost only to allow infiltration. Typical mixtures are 60-70 percent sand, and 30-40 percent compost.
