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 façade 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 facade, 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. Storm water The drainage plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization. Pedestrian and Common Space Not Applicable. Landscaping There are minor changes to the landscape plan that are subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist. Trees/Shrubs The trees and shrubs used in the landscape plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist. Lighting Addressed elsewhere in the planning report. Signage Addressed elsewhere in the planning report. Pedestrian/ Bicycle Routes Not Applicable. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION Subject to the preceding review, City staff recommends approval of the Design Guidelines/Site Plan Review request for Menards subject to the conditions that follow: 1. 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 with Menards. Approval of the design shall be subject to the City Engineer's review. 2. All 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. 3. The Planning Commission shall comment on the building design and building materials. 5 4. All mechanical equipment on the roof or on the site shall be fully screened in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 5. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization. 6. The landscape plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist. pc: Julie Hultman 6 MENARD„ July 22, 2016 City of Oak Park Heights Attn: Eric Johnson City Administrator 14168 Oak Park Blvd N Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 RE: Menards Warehouse Expansion Project Dear Mr.Johnson, Menard, Inc. is submitting a site plan review application for the Oak Park Heights Menards store located at 5800 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.
