RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE
REQUEST BY MENARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
AND DESIGN GUIDELINES/SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR AN
ADDITION TO THE GATE BUILDING AND SITE CHANGES AT
5800 KRUEGER LANE NORTH BE APPROVED WITH
CONDITIONS
WHEREAS,the City of Oak Park Heights has received a request from Menards for
Conditional Use Permits for setback and parking and Design Guidelines/Site Plan review
for an addition to the gate building and site changes at 5800 Krueger Lane North; and
after having conducted a public hearing relative thereto, the Planning Commission of Oak
Park Heights recommended that the request be approved with conditions. The City
Council of the City of Oak Park Heights makes the following findings of fact and
resolution:
1. The real property affected by said application is legally described as
follows, to wit:
SEE ATTACHMENT A
and
2. The applicant has submitted an application and supporting documentation
to the Community Development Department consisting of the following items:
SEE ATTACHMENT B
and
3. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District in which retail uses
are a permitted use; and
4. A Conditional Use Permit is required to reduce the front yard setback to
Krueger Lane; and
5. The front yard setback requirement in the B-2 District is 40 feet. The
current gate building is setback 40 feet from the right of way line of Krueger Lane, but
the expansion of the gate building will result in a setback of 22 feet; and
6. A Conditional Use Permit is required to allow a reduction in parking from
the approved parking requirements for the site; and
7. In March of 1995, Menards was granted a parking Variance for a
reduction in the required number of spaces. At the time, 465 spaces were required, and
the Variance allowed for the site to be constructed with 405 spaces. Currently there are
402 spaces on the site. Five spaces will be removed with the proposed gate building
addition resulting in a total of 395 parking spaces on site. The Zoning Ordinance now
allows a reduction in required parking spaces by Conditional Use Permit; and
8. Change to the exterior of the building and site changes require Design
Guidelines/Site Plan review; and
9. The request includes a request for the addition of an automated express
lane to the gate building. The new lane will be covered by an extension of the existing
canopy and the new building materials will match the green steel front and white steel
roof materials of the existing canopy. Parking spaces will be removed, the fence will be
replaced, and landscaping will be removed and replaced; and
10. City staff prepared a planning report dated March 28, 2019 reviewing the
request; and
11. Said report recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permits and
Design Guidelines/Site Plan review in that the project is in conformance with the criteria
for Conditional Use Permit and Design Guidelines/Site Plan approval. Said
recommendation was subject to the fulfillment of conditions; and
12. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their April 11, 2019
meeting, took comments from the applicants and public, closed the public hearing,and
recommended that the application be approved with conditions.
