VI. Public Hearings: A. Sunview 4— 14820 57th St.,N. —Consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit related to the placement of an accessory building, located at 14820 57th St. N. City Planner Richards reviewed and discussed the July 6, 2016 Planning Report to the request related to placement of a detached accessory structure to the front yard area for storage of maintenance equipment. Richards noted the request was being made for front yard placement due to the limited side and rear yard area at the property. Chair Kremer opened the hearing and invited public comment. Chris Fena— 14820 57th St.N. #A2 introduced himself as one of the condo owners at the properties and noted that he takes care of the property and wants a storage shed to store the lawn mower and maintenance equipment. Mr. Fena expressed concern about the condition regarding the trash enclosure in relation to how to accommodate it and accessibility during winter and for elderly condo owners in the building. Discussion ensued as to the trash handling practices at the condo building, ordinance requirements for fully screened trash enclosures and complaints received regarding the lack of trash screening. Planning Commission Minutes July 14,2016 Page 2 of 5 Doug O'Brien— 14820 57th St. N. #A4 stated that a 3-sided enclosure had been in place at the building and supported Mr. Fena's concerns. Commission discussion continued as to ordinance requirements for enclosure in relation to individual carts versus a dumpster. It was clarified that carts for each unit are placed in the existing 3-sided enclosure and pulled out to the curb on collection day. Consideration of grand-father status for the enclosure,requirement of a new enclosure and if so at what point in time were discussed. Consensus was to allow the 3-side enclosure to remain and require a code compliant trash enclosure be placed at such point in time that the parking area was redone. There being no other visitors to the public hearing, Chair Kremer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Thurmes,moved to recommend that the City Council approve the request, subject to the amended conditions of the July 6, 2016 Planning Report; specifically, as follows: 1. The accessory structure shall be compliance with all Building Code requirements subject to review and approval of the Building Official. 2. The Planning Commission was favorable to the metal building material and the color of the proposed shed shall match the existing building as close as reasonably possible. 3. The Applicant shall add screening gates to the front of the trash enclosure at such time as the driveway and parking lot are resurfaced. 4. Drainage plans for the property with the new accessory structure shall be approved by the City Engineer Carried 4 - 0. B. Xcel Energy—Baytown Substation. —Consider a request for Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow expansion of Xcel Energy Electric Substation, known as Baytown Substation, at Nova Scotia Ave. N. City Planner Richards reviewed and discussed the June 6, 2016 Planning Report related to the request of Xcel Energy to expand the existing Xcel Energy Substation, located at Nova Scotia Ave. N., upgrading and placement of new equipment, along with an expanded fence area. Planning Commission Minutes July 14,2016 Page 3 of 5 City Administrator Johnson commented on the condition related to lighting at the Bayport Substation with respect to working having been done and ongoing, adding that he was okay with the Commission removing the condition from any recommended approval. Chair Kremer expressed discomfort with placing conditions on a site approval that is not at the site being given consideration at public hearing and feels that if there is a nuisance at another location, it should be facilitated through other means. City Administrator Johnson stated that the applicants have been asked to address the painting and lighting issues at the Bayport Substation and they have opted to not address them and clarified that the applicant was made aware that they would be required to address the issues as a condition of approval for the Baytown Substation request, which is why the conditions related to those issues are included. Chair Kremer opened the hearing and invited the applicant to comment. Jake Sedlacek of Xcel Energy Community Relations introduced himself and discussed the Bayport Substation,noting that the goal of the substation is to keep it screened as well as possible with a fence in place and to work with the City as needed to do so. He noted that he understood the conditions regarding the Bayport Substation and was okay with them. There being no other visitors to the public hearing, Chair Kremer closed the public hearing. Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Thurmes,moved to recommend that the City Council approve the request, subject to the amended conditions of the June 6, 2016 Planning Report; specifically, as follows: 1. Any non-security lighting, if installed, shall be full cut off and comply with Zoning Ordinance requirements. 2. The tree removal and landscape plan is subject to review and approval of the City Arborist. 3. The expanded area shall be enclosed with the same solid wall wood privacy fence used currently at the substation. 4. The City will not require conformance with the Design Guidelines for the project. 5. Any grading and drainage issues shall be addressed subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization. Carried 4-0. Planning Commission Minutes July 14, 2016 Page 4 of 5 VII. New Business: None. VIII. Old Business: A. Transient Lodging: Chair Kremer noted that the subject of transient lodging was being revisited following discussion at the June Planning Commission meeting and a subsequent workshop held between the Planning Commission, Planning Commission Liaison Runk, City Staff and interested parties who are currently operating such lodging. City Planner Richards reviewed his July 6, 2016 Memorandum, discussing outcomes of the June meeting and July workshop and reviewed the amended proposed regulations designed to define and allow for transient lodging within the Home Occupations section of the Zoning Ordinance,placing reasonable limitations upon them so that neighbors are not adversely inconvenienced by the lodging activities. Discussion ensued as to the requirement of a 500-foot distance between transient lodging facilities and how it applies in effect to criteria established for creating a residential district. It was noted that the 500-foot distance separation is currently in place and required for Bed and Breakfast facilities. Whether or not requiring the City Engineer to approval parking area improvements was reasonable was discussed. This requirement is currently in place and required for parking pads in the Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Thurmes, seconded by Commissioner Quale, moved to recommend City Council approve the Ordinance amendment as recommended within the July 6, 2016 Planning Memorandum. Carried 4-0. Chair Kremer thanked all involved for their participation in the discussion and noted that the meeting with those involved to reach a consensus in the situation worked out well. IX. Informational: A.

The applicants have indicated that there is no room in the back yard, and request to place the shed so that it is adjacent to the side yard driveway. The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District. EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Project Narrative Exhibit 2: Air Photo of Property Exhibit 3: Building Permit Application with Certificate of Survey Exhibit 4: Building Specifications Exhibit 5: Elevation of Structure Exhibit 6: Floor Plan Exhibit 7: Pictures of House and Shed Location PROJECT DESCRIPTION The property at 5527 Oakgreen Place North is constructed with a single family house with a three stall garage. There are no other detached accessory structures on the lot. There is an existing raised driveway on the side of the house that was constructed prior to the current owners. The driveway was constructed with a retaining wall directly on the side lot line and within the five-foot drainage easement. The proposed accessory building will be placed on this driveway and will be setback one foot from the property line. The building is 122 square feet and will match the color and architectural style of the house. It would also be within the height requirements of the accessory building section of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has requested the Conditional Use Permit in that it is the owners desire to locate the shed on this side of the house with access to the driveway. The covered porch will be used for firewood storage. The back yard of the house in this area is not large enough to accommodate the shed. The shed could be placed on the other side of the lot, but that location would not be convenient for the home owner. Additionally, there are a number existing trees in the back yard. ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan: The property is designated as low density residential in the Comprehensive Land Use Map. The request for a shed is consistent with the Comprehensive policies related to low density land use. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District. The accessory building requirements in Section 401.15. D of the Zoning Ordinance require that the structures be no more than 12 feet in height, five or more feet from side lot lines, eight feet from the rear lot line and six feet from any other structure on the same lot. The proposed building will be less than 12 feet in height (proposed at nine feet), will be one foot from the side lot line, more than eight feet from the rear lot line and six feet from the house. A conditional use permit has been requested to vary from the side lot lot requirement. The criteria for reviewing the CUP request is reviewed later in this report. Drainage The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and visited the site. The garage is to be placed on existing hardcover and should not impact the existing drainage patterns of the driveway. The shed will be placed in the required five-foot drainage easement. If for some reason the City will needs to utilize that drainage easement, the garage and possibly the raised driveway would need to be removed at the owner's expense. Accessory Building Requirements: Section 401.15.D provides a list of requirements for construction of an accessory building on a property. Please find a review of those that apply to this request: 2 3.) The accessory building can be no more than 12 feet in height (midpoint of the gabled roof) unless approved by the Building Official to a total of 17 feet. The proposed garage will be nine feet in height. 6.) The total accessory building area must be less than 1,000 square feet. The total with the existing garage is approximately 834 square feet. 11.) The same or similar quality exterior material shall be used in the accessory building and the principal building. The new shed has a gabled roof and siding that will match the house. Conditional Use Permit Criteria: Section 401.15.C.1.e.5) provides criteria for review of a reduction in a required lot in a yard. A review of the criteria is as follows: a) The reduction of setback requirements is based upon specific need or circumstance which is unique to the property in question and which, if approved, will not set a precedent which is contrary to the intent of this Ordinance. Placement of a detached garage in the rear yard would conflict with existing significant trees and the drainage patterns. b) Property line drainage and utility easements as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance are provided and no building will occur upon this reserved space. The existing drainage easement was already encroached upon by a raised driveway. The shed will be placed on this existing driveway. It will be the homeowner's responsibility to remove the shed and driveway if required by the City for drainage purposes. c) The reduction will work toward the preservation of trees or unique physical features of the lot or area. Existing trees will be preserved by placing the shed on existing hardcover instead of the rear yard. d) If affecting a north lot line, the reduction will not restrict sun access from the abutting lots. The proposed shed will not impact sun access for the adjoining property. e) The reduction will not obstruct traffic visibility, cause a public safety problem and complies with Section 401.15.6.6 of this Ordinance. The setback of the shed will not create safety issues. 3 t) The conditions of Section 401.03.A.8 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. The conditions have been reviewed and City Staff does not see any conflict with this proposed shed. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the request for the Conditional Use Permit, City staff would recommend the shed construction with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall be responsible to remove the shed and driveway if required by the City for drainage purposes. 2. The applicant shall apply for and receive a building permit for the structure. 3. Any other conditions of the Planning Commission, City Council and City Staff. 4 Julie Hultman ' Subject: FW: 5527 Oakgreen place N.

The application consists of a request for a 19,366 square foot addition to a warehouse at the southwest corner of the site. On the northwest side of the warehouse, an adjustment to the fence and landscaping will be necessary to accommodate vehicle access between the fence and the expanded warehouse. The 75-foot overhang on the south and west sides of the store will be completely enclosed with green steel and garage doors to create a climate controlled storage space. This change will not be visible from nearby roadways. An existing entrance at the front of the building that provided access to the garden center will be removed and filled in with a concrete wall and windows to match the front facade of the building. Additionally, Menards is working with the developers of the Oak Park Heights Retail development to the north to create a curb cut between the Menards parking lot and the new development. EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Applicant's Narrative, July 22, 2016 Exhibit 2: Site Plan (SP) Exhibit 3: Building Elevations (ELEV) Exhibit 4: Warehouse Elevations (WHSE) Exhibit 5: Cover Sheet (C0-1) Exhibit 6: Partial Survey (1 of1) Exhibit 7: Demolition Plan (C1-2) Exhibit 8: Site Plan (C2-1) Exhibit 9: Grading and Drainage Plan (C3-1) Exhibit 10: Utility Plan (C4-1) Exhibit 11: Detail Sheet (C8-1) Exhibit 12: Report of the City Arborist Exhibit 13: Report of the City Engineer PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant's narrative for the project is found as Exhibit 1. Menard, Inc. is submitting a site plan review application for the Oak Park Heights Menards store located at 5800 Krueger Lane. Since the store opened in 1997 the facility has been remodeled and expanded a few different times to match the amenities offered at the new stores we are building across the country. These periodic store updates ensure the guests that shop at this store have the same experience as a guest shopping at any of our other store locations. The proposed remodel includes a new drive through aisle addition on the front of the existing warehouse and the enclosure of the overhang around the south and west sides of the store. The 19,366 sq ft addition to the warehouse will be added on the front of the existing building. The new warehouse space will be constructed using materials identical to the existing warehouse. The slope of the roof shown on the attached elevation plan will slope down from the existing peak and will not exceed the existing maximum roof peak. The roof of the new warehouse area will not have any skylights as required by the original ordinance. Additionally, no new lights will be added to the exterior of the warehouse. The fence separating the warehouse from 58th Street along the south property line is taller than our average fence height and will screen almost all of the additional warehouse area. No storage of materials will be visible from outside the yard area. On the north side of the warehouse we need to make an adjustment to the fence line to make room for vehicle access to both drive lanes through the warehouse. This new fence will be constructed out of the same treated wood found on the existing fence. The relocated fence will be built on solid ground owned by Menards and will not impact the pond northwest of the lumber yard. A 75 ft wide overhang surrounds the west and south sides of the Menards store building today. The purpose of the overhang is to protect the products we sell from the elements. As it exists today the overhang is semi enclosed with green steel in several locations but wide open to the elements in other locations. As part of this remodel Menards plans to completely enclose this overhang area with green steel and garage doors to create a climate controlled storage space for our products. The lights that are currently being shielded so they do not shine to the south will continue to be shielded as they are today and no new exterior lights will be added as part of this project. The storage racks positioned against the exterior of the existing walls will continue to be located in their current locations after the project is completed. However previously approved ordinances have ensured that they will not be visible from outside of the lumber yard 2 because of the taller fence. After the project has been completed the changes will not have any impact on the outside appearance of the store from the nearby roadways and the interior changes will match the existing store very well. The developer of the property north of our store has requested a curb cut between their development area and our parking lot to share a driveway and connection to Krueger Lane. Menards is willing to work with the developer to accommodate that request. ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The continued use of the site for retail commercial use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District. The retail use is a permitted use in the B-2 General Business District. Changes to the exterior of the building and the site changes require Design Guidelines and Site Plan review. Subdivision. There are no changes requested related to the lot or easements. Setbacks. The building setbacks are not changing with the remodel. The expansion of the warehouse area on the west side of the site will not impact setbacks and on the south side, the rear yard setback is being maintained. The fence line is being adjusted on the northwest corner of the property, but setback requirements are not being impacted. Traffic Circulation/Curb Cuts. The site will continue to be accessed in the same location on Krueger Ln North. The Applicants are working with the developers of the property to the north, Oak Park Heights Retail Development related to a curb cut so that there is a cross access. Staff is supportive of this but would make any approvals of the design subject to the City Engineer's review. Parking. There is no change to the parking areas and no requirement for additional parking for the site with these changes. Lighting. The Applicant has indicated that there would be no new exterior lights installed on the warehouse or as part of the changes to the site. Any new light fixtures shall be full cut off, and be consistent with Section 401.15.6.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements. Trash Storage. No changes are indicated to the trash storage area, although the trash compactor is to be relocated. Mechanical Screening. No changes to mechanical equipment locations have been indicated on the plans. All new mechanical equipment on the roof or on the site shall be fully screened in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 3 Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. Grading, drainage and utility plans have been provided by the Applicant. The City Engineer has provided a separate report on engineering issues. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Signage. There is no change to the signage with this request. Design Guidelines Architectural Guidelines Façade Treatments The only change to the exterior is on the west side of the front façade, where the garden store entrance is being removed and replaced with a concrete wall to match and windows. The materials and colors will match the existing façade. Ground Level Expression This is a one story building with visibility to Highway 36. The entrances are not being changed except for elimination of the garden center entrance. Transparency The transparency will not change significantly with the new windows that are being added at the garden center entrance. Entries The building features a prominent entry. Roof Design A portion of the roof will be enclosed which will not be visible from the exterior of the structure. The warehouse expansion will consist of an addition to the existing building. The new portion of the warehouse will be lower in height than the existing structure. The existing fence should screen most of the new warehouse structure. The roof of the new warehouse will not have any skylights. Building Materials and Colors The applicant has provided color elevations for review. All of the new building materials are what is currently being used on the structure. Franchise Architecture The building is not a franchise design. Site Design Guidelines Building Placement The proposed building is well placed on the site and is a prominent feature along the Highway 36 corridor. 4 Parking Areas The parking area will not be changed.

Since the store opened in 1997 the facility has been remodeled and expanded a few different times to match the amenities offered at the new stores we are building across the country. These periodic store updates ensure the guests that shop at this store have the same experience as a guest shopping at any of our other store locations.The proposed remodel includes a new drive through aisle addition on the front of the existing warehouse and the enclosure of the overhang around the south and west sides of the store. The 19,366 sq ft addition to the warehouse will be added on the front of the existing building.The new warehouse space will be constructed using materials identical to the existing warehouse.The slope of the roof shown on the attached elevation plan will slope down from the existing peak and will not exceed the existing maximum roof peak.The roof of the new warehouse area will not have any skylights as required by the original ordinance.Additionally no new lights will be added to the exterior of the warehouse.The fence separating the warehouse from 58th Street along the south property line is taller than our average fence height and will screen almost all of the additional warehouse area. No storage of materials will be visible from outside the yard area. On the north side of the warehouse we need to make an adjustment to the fence line to make room for vehicle access to both drive lanes through the warehouse.This new fence will be constructed out of the same treated wood found on the existing fence.The relocated fence will be built on solid ground owned by Menards and will not impact the pond northwest of the lumber yard. A 75 ft wide overhang surrounds the west and south sides of the Menards store building today.The purpose of the overhang is to protect the products we sell from the elements.As it exists today the overhang is semi enclosed with green steel in several locations but wide open to the elements in other locations.As part of this remodel Menards plans to completely enclose this overhang area with green steel and garage doors to create a climate controlled storage space for our products.The lights that are currently being shielded so they do not shine to the south will continue to be shielded as they are today and no new exterior lights will be added as part of this project.The storage racks positioned against the exterior of the existing walls will continue to be located in their current locations after the project is completed. However previously approved ordinances have ensured that they will not be visible from outside of the lumber yard because of the taller fence.After the project has been completed the changes will not have any impact on the outside appearance of the store from the nearby roadways and the interior changes will match the existing store very well. 5101 MENARD DRIVE EAU CLAIRE, WI 54703-9625 PHONE (715) 876-5911 FAX (715) 876-2868 MENARD, Loa, The developer of the property north of our store has requested a curb cut between their development area and our parking lot to share a driveway and connection to Krueger Lane.

The following includes my comments and/or recommendations: Tree Inventory The plans submitted did not include an inventory of all existing significant trees on site (please reference City Ordinance 1307 and pages 11-15 in the Development Application packet). The inventory should include tree ID, species, size (in DBH), notes, and if the tree will be removed or preserved. This must correlate to the landscape plan submitted and is also needed to complete the tree replacement calculation if required. Tree Protection A tree protection plan must be submitted with the final plans to protect the trees which are in close proximity to the construction zone. The fencing should be placed at the drip-line of trees to be preserved, and should be described in the tree protection specifications (please reference City Ordinance 1307). Landscape Details and Notes The landscape legend shows a satisfactory choice of plants some native or improved cultivars of natives. Most of the trees and plants chosen are hardy under local growing conditions, relatively insect and disease free and fairly low maintenance. There is good species diversity in the plan. The following items must be addressed in the final plans: 1. All plants in the landscape legend must include the scientific (Latin) name and common name, size class, and type of planting stock. TREE CITY U.S.A. 2. Planting of any Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii) is prohibited in the City of Oak Park Heights. An alternate low maintentance shrub such as ninebark is recommended. 3. Planting detail diagrams and notes must be included for trees (deciduous, evergreens, and ornamentals) and shrubs. 4. The landscape contractor for the project is required to plant trees according to the approved planting detail submitted with the approved landscape plan. This will be checked after planting and any deviations from the detail will need to be corrected before the landscaping will be approved by the City. This needs to be included in the final submitted landscaping plans in the landscaping notes section. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Please feel free to forward my comments to the development team for this project. 2 TREE CITY U.S.A. 4 .'43 Julie Hultman From: Mann, Lee Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 2:28 PM To: Scott Richards Cc: Julie Hultman; Andrew Kegley; Eric Johnson Subject: Menards Hi Scott, The only item I see on the Menards plan we talked about before, and that is the encroachment toward the pond where they are moving that retaining wall.
