\"My name is Michael Bogart, and I'm gonna be bringing the very first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant to Apple Valley,\" Michael Bogart told the council during the audience participation portion. He said the chain has about 300 locations nationally and the nearest to Apple Valley is currently in Coralville, Iowa.

Bogart said he and the landlord have a signed letter of intent and attorneys are working on the lease for a site he described as a roughly 3,100-square-foot space between a Five Guys restaurant and a tile shop. He noted the concept is a fast-casual restaurant that serves 16 flavors of chicken salad and that the business already has a branded vehicle in town.

The mayor and council members welcomed Bogart’s announcement and thanked him for introducing the project; no formal city action was requested at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A local developer introduced himself to the council and said he and a landlord have a signed letter of intent for the first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant in Minnesota; he said lawyers are working on the lease for a roughly 3,100-square-foot space near Five Guys.","taxTitle","Apple Valley, Dakota County, Minnesota","taxId",4526,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6228864,"Apple Valley launches new agendas/minutes website, posts State of the City video; council recognizes Public Works Week",753,1825000,2578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b&start=1825&end=2578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b/thumbnail_1825000.jpg","/articles/6228864/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Apple-Valley-launches-new-agendasminutes-website-posts-State-of-the-City-video-council-recognizes-Public-Works-Week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228864-5ccd1004af377b89d06f2ffe639a0e77/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158062&Signature=opRHOvMtYYRAS7w6dqf37mQQGZSXgfUGk~f7bmYP45PLUQGhHqbj3OAkPubueShfDgYfOe569-AmNyRocg~epFcWzpNcXzawBv6yZnUrtApIXelFtLhz1fpo0xRXv6uH4lCzirmM5BcObW6O~qxI6s~jjOPKcW7pxlY6kIDCo3WFA5Ww886Lw6yy-nzXguhJsz2G39PH8H971UORqPpSnu1Jz~LYP3HN3UdfoDDoXtXOOxQo~VlXqxGTvCHGUEGuVF5P7O7S~NMMX6C~LqULEhapHGuBIEehacJuS2rlYSlQaMg6PmaZ1LmpY6q3ch-SsdeT3uERqKtR41ds~Vrz-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Apple Valley City Council on May 22 that a new consolidated agendas, minutes and packets website is live and that the City’s State of the City video broadcast is available on the city website; the council also recognized National Public Works Week.

Tom (staff) introduced the update and said Christina Scipiotti, City Clerk, would demonstrate the new platform. Christina Scipiotti said the new site, which went live the week of May 19, consolidates agendas, minutes and packets for the City Council, EDA and advisory commissions; it is mobile-friendly, searchable and displays meeting items individually so users can view a single agenda item without downloading an entire packet. She noted historical meeting files remain accessible via a link to the city’s legacy records and asked residents to update bookmarks because the URL changed.

Tom and council members said the city’s State of the City production was recorded and is already available on the website. Separately, the council adopted a proclamation recognizing National Public Works Week (May 18–24) and thanked public works staff for services including snow plowing, pavement maintenance, utilities, fleet repair, emerald ash borer response, water quality and cemetery maintenance. Public Works Director Matt Som and staff attended a recognition event; the council noted recent rapid responses to infrastructure incidents as an example of the department’s work.

Council members encouraged residents to acknowledge public works staff and department leadership; the mayor and council noted an informal photo and lunch event earlier in the week to mark the week.","City staff unveiled a redesigned agendas/minutes website and said the State of the City video is already live; the council also adopted a proclamation recognizing National Public Works Week and thanked public works staff for recent service efforts.",{"_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},6228869,"Apple Valley proclaims National Poppy Day/Month and Memorial Day; American Legion speakers urge remembrance",734,923000,1657000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b&start=923&end=1657","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b/thumbnail_923000.jpg","/articles/6228869/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Apple-Valley-proclaims-National-Poppy-DayMonth-and-Memorial-Day-American-Legion-speakers-urge-remembrance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228869-53ed9529673f51192fca3df635fb777f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158062&Signature=DYwpRo2huSksz116cIOG0vkQXSSD-qIq8sogzkFO~2In704INOhRlog2Q-73be1ylcnzGc~oBPPOZlFmd1CMzHKVknzxkNwEu4Lt1wCxfITqEOg0Qdt~xrYdO6zVfCeHdHUW4LaNZGKI4Owx8Z-eAbaa7XfKV1MchlFb0~IxIVezG31Twn-GZlyZaKxIwKdORUqFok8HtGLIL7CYrDsiQZyV~ehVej2-DbamPxntMaVuCjaP36-rMSxVZoSkGtA1Zn9X6vmm1EIRoQsA0aGXIUrTFiqTIi3i2wkMjFurczAGzAb6sgbgw-noGYIw9yrlgNc3~VFY5pmRytU4pc8pLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Apple Valley City Council on May 22 approved proclamations recognizing National Poppy Day and May as Poppy Month and acknowledging Memorial Day on May 26, 2025, following presentations by American Legion Auxiliary and American Legion representatives.

Gina Deerfeldt, first vice president and Poppy chair of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1776 in Apple Valley, described the auxiliary’s distribution of memorial poppies and said donations collected support veterans and their families. \"All of the funds that we receive are they go out to our veterans and their families,\" Deerfeldt said, and listed upcoming distribution locations and hours.

Bernie Bauman, commander of American Legion Post 1776 and an Apple Valley resident, addressed the council ahead of the Memorial Day proclamation. Bauman recited casualty numbers spanning U.S. conflicts and named several local service members who died in the line of duty, then read \"In Flanders Fields\" to the council and offered copies of the poem to members. The council proclaimed May 26, 2025, as Memorial Day in Apple Valley, asked citizens to set aside time for remembrance (including a suggested moment of silence at 3 p.m.), and noted memorial ceremonies scheduled at local sites.

Both proclamations were adopted by voice vote after motions from council members (Poppy Month motion and Memorial Day motion as recorded in the meeting). The council also reminded residents that city offices will be closed on Memorial Day and that flags are to be flown at half-staff until noon in observance of the day.","The council approved proclamations for National Poppy Day/Month and Memorial Day after presentations from the American Legion Auxiliary and the American Legion commander; speakers described poppy distribution efforts and read remembrance materials and names of local service members.",{"_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},6228874,"Apple Valley Arts Foundation launches 2025 Music in Kelly Park series; council proclaims event a community festival",698,272000,970000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b&start=272&end=970","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b/thumbnail_272000.jpg","/articles/6228874/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Apple-Valley-Arts-Foundation-launches-2025-Music-in-Kelly-Park-series-council-proclaims-event-a-community-festival","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228874-79ff130e8415de087f3b241802cd2690/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158062&Signature=PXKbuCvlNCK~~gFTvpd-bu1w9EfduGDlOtd~UWDD8xQj7hFRAb9M3cHkaaZxOglOJd32CoLxOnf3jIvmiMsEPFvs-~nlKIZdTSt1owN3XX8C5tWuE09iRfnoH9pB0b8bnwhW4iE6I8JZEKarDAW4yQo5TagbGaZP1LqUnoGSMiB4z4TSrqg26XvflXgSa~dlosfz0bnELlVigIgfDiCxFCWHYMkEeRrgusNB1Zt5Vic1SDUtrce2-BrCCC0-uM9FQrBJFVbwU4rYropzs1CaUn6cPAJZWOa0ZF2M4lznJ28bhfqy77zmH94lOyCVpoI-3TfWx2QsDNdGU1f4nVI8rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Apple Valley Arts Foundation on May 22 presented its 2025 Music in Kelly Park concert series to the City Council and requested city support for the event; the council issued a proclamation declaring the series a community festival.

Mary Heeman Roland, representing the Apple Valley Arts Foundation, outlined the free weekly concert series that runs Fridays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and named performers across June, July and August. The foundation said the series will offer food and beverages for sale, free prize drawings at the end of the series, and a schedule change in September to Quarry Point Park as construction work proceeds at Kelly Park.

Roland said Metro Transit (MVTA) will provide rides to help attendees manage parking and construction at Kelly Park; the foundation noted MBTA Connect service on Routes 420 and 440 will provide free rides for some users and $3 one-way fares for others. She listed sponsors including Think Bank (platinum), Bogart’s Entertainment Center, Uponor (gold), Wings Financial, Dakota Electric and others; food vendors named included California Dip & Eat, Los Tortillas, KCM Egg Rolls, Pizza Karma and Rita’s Italian Ice.

The City Council read and approved a proclamation recognizing the Music in Kelly Park dates as a community festival and encouraging residents to attend. Councilmember Geebert moved the proclamation and Councilmember Graendahl seconded; the motion passed on voice vote. Roland thanked the council, noted the foundation’s 27 years producing the series and said a new website and social media updates are coming.

Organizers asked that the mayor consider saying a few words at the opening concert; the foundation also thanked the Parks and Recreation Department, the fire and police departments and city administration for their assistance in staging the series.","The Apple Valley Arts Foundation presented its summer concert lineup for Music in Kelly Park, confirmed free admission and MBTA ride support during Kelly Park construction; the City Council proclaimed the dates a community festival and approved the proclamation by voice vote.",{"_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},6228879,"Apple Valley council approves amendment to PD 975 allowing limited increase in impervious coverage with on-site stormwater mitigation",342,1561000,1903000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b&start=1561&end=1903","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3465962-7aa3b6459e2e28686f5bccdf18e58d1b/thumbnail_1561000.jpg","/articles/6228879/Apple-Valley/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Apple-Valley-council-approves-amendment-to-PD-975-allowing-limited-increase-in-impervious-coverage-with-on-site-stormwater-mitigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228879-db898eba7a873e4555a6156520fd7eb3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158062&Signature=VqkIdulTAklYvvM4TuZAHP2TD6GgKBLLJcU~-8E77Q21Cn7pLkKJHfexdh8SSqidPr8gRBikaVZQo5uRThSLeDFQNPhp3pnhj8n00ZMfgo02XcmWWYJRr75qxGAxHNRyNeciL2Nd9fL29wBnri7fSNREpojIRjFRk7VDIpI8DH46f0mPiZ3HHm0fRPKqhSXDllI4Mw7IYyqUZTqTYwF3lR27LcnOrUmYccvY4ynZY85fecHuRvpuwjjoWxJYZQgQhqR3vjpd4zaKwdQomLaTXkqC5csdxzqNbaKA-W93J4ebQw4uvA8nWihskkqrn2puFCUtMXuDp5iDJG8wOERUhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Apple Valley City Council on May 22 approved an ordinance amendment to Plan Development (PD) 975 that changes impervious-surface rules for smaller lots and waived the second reading.

The change allows properties in PD 975 that are 10,000 square feet or smaller to increase impervious surface coverage by up to an additional 10 percent if they add an approved on-site stormwater mitigation facility such as a rain garden or similar measure. The amendment responds to concerns from property owners in PD 975 who said the existing 35 percent maximum was unduly restrictive on smaller lots.

Sydney, a city staff member presenting the proposal, told the council the existing PD 975 maximum of 35 percent is stricter than the city’s standard zoning limits and that the requested change would align the PD with common city practice. “This maximum is more strict than our standard zoning requirements,” Sydney said. Under Apple Valley’s standard zoning, staff said, property owners may request a smaller increase (up to 5 percent) with similar on-site mitigation; PD 975 previously did not allow that flexibility.

Staff said properties under 10,000 square feet in PD 975 number “about 77” according to the presentation; owners who want to add impervious surface above the 35 percent threshold must receive approval for a residential on-site stormwater mitigation facility from the Natural Resources Department. A public hearing at the Planning Commission on May 7 resulted in one written comment and one in-person comment in support; the Planning Commission recommended approval.

Councilman Belander moved to pass the ordinance and to waive the second reading; Council Member Bergman seconded. The item carried on a voice vote. Mayor (presiding) thanked staff for addressing the issue through an ordinance rather than variances.

The amendment becomes part of Article 32, Plan Development PD 975, and property owners within the PD seeking extra impervious coverage will need Natural Resources approval for the proposed mitigation measures.","The City Council approved an ordinance amendment to Plan Development (PD) 975 that lets smaller lots increase impervious surface up to an additional 10% if they install an approved on-site stormwater mitigation facility; the council waived the second reading and the measure passed on voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
