Applicant Billy Kothendi (who introduced himself in the meeting) described the business as a family-owned Indian restaurant and grocery in the former TCF space. He said the business will offer Indian menu items including biryani and naan, vegan and gluten-free options, a grocery section with Indian products, a butcher, and a tortilla maker; the applicant said a July opening was planned.

Event organizer Pat walked the council through a multi-day schedule of activities, including a car show on June 27, a senior center float program on June 28, family fun night at Johnny Cake Ridge Park on July 3, a Fourth of July fun run and a parade on July 4 that will end at Apple Valley High School. Food trucks and a pre-fireworks party were scheduled at Johnny Cake Ridge Park with fireworks set to begin at 9:30 p.m. on July 4 and a rain date of July 5 at 9:30 p.m., Pat said.

Pat noted changes this year, including the carnival provider withdrawing and a smaller carnival-style inflatable soccer attraction, magician, petting zoo and a single truck artist for a limited truck-art display. Organizers said the Apple Valley American Legion will host a car show meal and that the Senior Center will participate in floats. Pat also acknowledged new local business support from Urban Air and longtime sponsor Dick's Service, and named the event grand marshal.

Council Member Bergman moved to accept the Apple Valley Freedom Days schedule of events and authorize the placement of signage; Council Member Bridal seconded. The council voted in favor.

Organizers and staff will proceed with event preparations and signage placement in accordance with city rules and the approved schedule.","The council accepted the 3-day Apple Valley Freedom Days schedule and authorized placement of event signage; organizers described parade, fireworks and family activities.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6201423,"Council approves Snap Fitness use at former CVS site on Dove Trail",471,4765000,5236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc&start=4765&end=5236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc/thumbnail_4765000.jpg","/articles/6201423/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Council-approves-Snap-Fitness-use-at-former-CVS-site-on-Dove-Trail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201423-d654985d962bbb373034060c386995d6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180113&Signature=ojDCOVLtUGSdWbRBaL-SiM5Ovwc4zdIwNQe59CXeVGUocRSzzYSEc0WZJDAmHfjVwESB1scKQXgMSm4bEryrbMJF-uicmyAwCYassNDMVJ1mm6W2nms2AqecfEFidYf~GEUs0yOeJFClISmapFXo7Q0W8Z9YRa3cgu42Nko3evHl1FvQ4ZeGUoW8hXoBHj1ONT4h8KozSSQuyPw2C1qhSd6LLUz03fCJTQBAY0i1ON9yJkCkpVZI7lypv5XoZGgykPmhsNXiJfW0rQS0mPZPUhhX7X0fRi6dy-Ipb4FfFxdwzbcjbb6wVfosJucfXj9mNybnzas4zfQbnr6PAEx0bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Apple Valley City Council on Thursday approved a resolution allowing a health and fitness facility (Snap Fitness) as a permitted use in Planned Development 629, Zone 4, at 15115 Dove Trail.

City planner Sydney said the site is the former CVS pharmacy at the northwest corner of Dove Trail and Dodd Boulevard; the building's interior will be reconfigured for exercise spaces, lockers and associated uses. She told the council the existing parking (about 131 stalls) meets Snap Fitness's estimated need (about 80 stalls) and that the exterior will remain substantially unchanged apart from signage.

Sydney noted the PD's purpose is a mix of lower-density residential and neighborhood convenience retail; the council has discretion to approve uses not explicitly listed in the PD's permitted list. She said the applicant intends to apply for a conditional use permit later if it wants to operate 24 hours; the PD limits commercial hours between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. without a CUP.

Council Member Grama moved and Council Member Melander seconded a motion to adopt the resolution approving a health and fitness facility as a permitted use in PD 629 Zone 4. The council voiced approval and the motion passed.

Council members and staff noted the reuse would fill a large vacant building in a prominent gateway location and that the proposal appears consistent with neighborhood convenience and parking expectations. The applicant will return if it pursues extended hours under the conditional use permit process.","The council approved a resolution permitting a health and fitness facility (Snap Fitness) as a permitted use in PD 629 Zone 4 at 15115 Dove Trail; the applicant will later seek a conditional use permit to extend hours to 24/7.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6201428,"Council affirms Planning Commission denial for cannabis microbusiness zoning change in PD 409",2545,2188000,4733000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc&start=2188&end=4733","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc/thumbnail_2188000.jpg","/articles/6201428/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Council-affirms-Planning-Commission-denial-for-cannabis-microbusiness-zoning-change-in-PD-409","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201428-fb0d374a78d64c33d76c27c27a02df66/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180113&Signature=VySgq1YDZ~~KPTjxSxi4jy8GS8LUTYY8oaxqvBpVv6MQQrLCTF98PV3rX9cyFHegJYVI86rJbcRufdM-9oSRP-SEOpHZSyeA59GS~6sefdLEZ76JJeqVKOZh~jxdljMLkEx41ha~yrGSAqls2wppq-t6NiDs~IUB8UKVsLHDiqI9NJJEOD6AdgD~dY3CgrHwHkR7DenDgIxm9wVzhc5IKn~MMUq4~ciLmkyMcLSg2ZLaL~bWVrZJFh23RCICpS-yVdqMKqPgBFKF6LkNR41Qlbp-lqJt2B6K5CjbxSAT7kDQGu1XMsYALva24zsKfsynQw84vqxKxR9JdiG7qhHj5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Apple Valley City Council on Thursday affirmed the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny amendments that would have allowed cannabis microbusinesses within Planned Development (PD) 409 and to change section 155.32 of the city zoning code.

The vote—4 in favor of denial, 1 opposed—directed staff to prepare formal resolutions that list findings supporting the denial. Council members cited the availability of industrially zoned parcels, the fit of industrial zoning for microbusiness operations, and PD 409's adjacency to residential areas as reasons for the decision.

City planner Sydney presented the staff report and draft ordinance language. The proposed text would have allowed cannabis microbusinesses as a conditional use in PDs when the PD specifically authorized the use and would have added cross-reference changes to section 155.32 so PDs could permit microbusinesses where appropriate. The draft included conditions such as indoor-only activities, a required odor mitigation plan, off-street loading standards and limits on on-site retail to PD retail/office floor-area limits.

Attorney Carol Moss, representing the applicant, said the industry is highly regulated and that odor mitigation methods (HVAC and air filtration) and state licensing requirements address many concerns. She also said microbusinesses may operate with multiple endorsements (retail, manufacturing/cultivation and related activities) and noted real-estate and lender constraints that can make finding suitable space difficult.

Council members questioned whether there were adequate alternative industrial parcels in the city, whether a microbusiness could later add endorsements, and whether a retail-only model would differ from a microbusiness retail endorsement. Sydney explained that existing industrial districts (BPI, I-1, I-2 and industrial-guided PD parcels) are zoned to allow microbusinesses and that the Planning Commission's review found about 14 parcels not within buffer zones that appeared to be industrially guided and available for cannabis microbusiness use; staff cautioned those parcels may not be leasable or otherwise suitable.

Council Member Grandahl moved to affirm the Planning Commission's denial of the PD 409 amendment and to direct staff to prepare a resolution of denial listing reasons: (1) existing industrial zoning provides adequate locations; (2) industrial zones are best suited to microbusiness operations; (3) PD 409 is adjacent to residential properties; and (4) allowing microbusinesses in PD 409 \"could cause disturbances in the area and nearby neighborhoods.\" The motion carried 4-1. Council Member Bridal then moved a similar motion to deny the requested amendment to section 155.32; that motion also passed 4-1.

Staff will draft the denial resolutions for council review; the city clerk noted the council must act by the July 10 meeting if it wanted to take different action.","The council voted 4-1 to direct staff to prepare resolutions denying requested text amendments that would have allowed cannabis microbusinesses in Planned Development (PD) 409 and to amend section 155.32 of the zoning code.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6201433,"Apple Valley council sets sale date for $32.45 million 2025 general obligation bond issue",418,1737000,2155000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc&start=1737&end=2155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794089-47c397c59e2b2578d884c7846804f9cc/thumbnail_1737000.jpg","/articles/6201433/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Apple-Valley-council-sets-sale-date-for-3245-million-2025-general-obligation-bond-issue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201433-fffd5fd5270e31a4467c708f5a0de226/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180114&Signature=Zq3CJUzsUoK4a-AluD80d8qTRhCeZb9EU2o6MFr49DIIAZNqYetM1kyoF-dwuZh34G~4OWAoZrt5HBH7J248878FjoiQ7XthpnTBf2e6Q6xkWo9XocpWvyebqesdA1VNM0oXUIkZ6Bvgb2P2pVnw2Ozhz2XfFsHQ5xss5yEVMnCOE0dC6V3HTOCcqHWVFn92nDY3mRNhsa4J-8dPJkbqzq54vqzm~OHh-OZgy0L7gyLUMd6cbZR3MFCXSJIwarxEeq7mZEc3RTVl~dJKJ~ePymSgiZN3BNIu5FLJkJQqCq2Vk4abJx572okOsj-Dk4uAa-JSuRPp2hnciu7Y1O2t0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Apple Valley City Council on Thursday adopted a resolution setting the sale timetable for a $32,450,000 general obligation bond issue, Series 2025A, and approved a municipal advisory services agreement with Northland Securities.

The action starts the formal process to sell bonds that will fund projects authorized in a 2023 park referendum and portions of the city's facilities capital improvement program, city staff said.

City finance staff member Ron told the council the issue would include about $29.4 million of referendum-authorized park bonds and roughly $3.0 million for facility capital improvements and planning for the city's next phase of its Central Maintenance Facility. He said earlier issuances used part of the referendum authority and that the 2025 issue would be one of several planned over the next two to three years to complete authorized projects.

Ron said the referendum authorized $73,250,000 for parks work; in 2024 the city issued about $16.3 million of that authority and the 2025 issue would use $29.4 million of the balance. Referenced park projects included Kelly Park, redevelopment of Redwood Park, replacement of the community pool (the Redwood Pool alternate), Splash Valley improvements, community center and senior center improvements, and Hays Youth Baseball and Softball Complex, he said. The Hays Arena project was mentioned as previously completed and paid for.

On facilities, Ron said the city has two facilities CIP authorizations. Under the most recent authority, about $9.9 million was identified for the Police Operations Garage; remaining authority would be used for the Central Maintenance Facility redesign, fire stations and other projects. He told council the bond calendar would include rating calls the week of June 30 or July 7, receipt of rating reports around July 16, City Council action awarding the sale on July 24, and expected proceeds in August 2025.

Council Member Melander moved to adopt the resolution providing for a competitive negotiated sale of the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025A and to approve the municipal advisory services agreement with Northland Securities; Council Member Bergman seconded. The council voiced approval; the motions passed.

The city will return to council on July 24 to consider awarding the sale and will provide final bond documents and ratings reports before that action.

Funding amounts and sequencing were presented by staff and are dependent on project expenditures and market timing; Ron noted remaining issuance authority and potential further sales in 2026 and later years as projects progress.","The council approved a resolution setting the competitive sale schedule and municipal advisory agreement for the city's General Obligation Bonds Series 2025A, which will fund park referendum projects and facility capital improvements.","actionData","errors"]
