City Administrator Johnson provided some background to the request,related to earlier
approvals for storage heights and ongoing issues with storage,particularly in the
Spring. Johnson noted that when the site was originally developed, the housing

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: February 4, 2021
RE: Oak Park Heights — Menards — Design Guidelines/Site Plan Review
and Conditional Use Permits for Setback and Parking — 5800
Krueger Lane North
TPC FILE: 236.02 — 21 .01
BACKGROUND
Tyler Edwards of Menards has made application for Design Guidelines/Site Plan review
and Conditional Use Permits for setback and parking for the existing Menards at 5800
Krueger Lane North. The application consists of requests to add an automated express
lane requiring an addition to the existing gate at the east side of the site. Five parking
spaces are to be removed which places the total parking for the site below the minimum
allowed parking when the site was first approved.
The approvals for the Menards were granted in March of 1995 including a parking
Variance. At the time, 465 spaces were required, and the Variance allowed for the site
to be constricted with 405 spaces. Currently, there are 402 spaces on the site. Five
spaces are removed with the proposed gate building addition resulting in a total of 397
parking spaces on site. The Zoning Ordinance now allows a reduction in required
parking spaces by Conditional Use Permit.
The City Council approved the same project on April 23, 2019. Menard's allowed the
approval to expire one year later and did not request to have it renewed. The plans and
the project are the same as what was previously approved.
EXHIBITS
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Applicant's Narrative, January 9, 2021
Exhibit 2: Demolition Plan (C1-2)
Exhibit 3: Site Plan (C2-1)
Exhibit 4: Grading Drainage Plan (C3-1)
Exhibit 5: Menards Site Plan (CT1)
Exhibit 6: Gate Canopy Elevations (CT2)
Exhibit 7: Comments from the City Arborist (3 pages)
Exhibit 8: City Council Resolution — April 23, 2019
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant's narrative for the project is found as Exhibit 1.
Menard, Inc. is submitting an application to reapprove the gate expansion project that
was first reviewed in 2019. The project has not changed since the last approval. The
addition to the gate will allow for an online order pickup lane to be added to the store.
This is an automated gate for guests to scan a barcode from their order and pick up
their material without waiting for the gate guard to let them in. There will continue to be
an entrance and exit lane operated by the gate guard. The materials used on the gate
addition will be an exact match to the existing gate.
I have attached the copies for the materials submitted in 2019 as a reference and
include the copies of the plans from the application checklist.
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. A
Conditional Use Permit is required for the front yard setback and to allow the number of
parking spaces to be reduced.
Setbacks. 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 gate building expansion will encroach into the setback. The proposed setback will
be 22 feet. The proposed gate building will extend slightly to the east from the location
of the current fence.
The fence line is being adjusted to the south of the proposed gate building, but fence
setback requirements are not being impacted.
In evaluation of the requested Conditional Use Permit for a setback reduction, Section
401.04.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission and City Council
2
to consider the possible effects of the proposed use, with that judgment based upon
(but not limited to) the following factors:
a. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan.
b. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
c. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
d. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
e. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
f. The demonstrated need for such use.
g. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
h. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets,
and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
i. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e.,
parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in conformity with
present and future land uses. There should be no environmental issues or impact to
surrounding tenants or property owners resulting from the setback reduction. There is
no impact upon public services and facilities and site lines on Krueger Lane will not be
impacted. City Staff sees no issues with the expansion of the gate building.
The Planning Commission and City Council should determine if the reduction in the
front yard setback is appropriate for this site.
Traffic Circulation. Traffic circulation within the site will not be impacted with this site
change and building expansion.
Parking. In March of 1995, the 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 constricted 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 397 parking spaces on site. The Zoning Ordinance now
allows a reduction in required parking spaces by Conditional Use Permit.
In evaluation of the requested Conditional Use Permit for a parking reduction, Section
401.04.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission and City Council
to consider the possible effects of the proposed use, with that judgment based upon
(but not limited to) the following factors:
a. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan.
b. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
c. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
d. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
e. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
f. The demonstrated need for such use.
g. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
h. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets,
and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
3
i. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e.,
parking, loading, noise, etc.)
With the current number of spaces, there have been no parking issues noted at the
Menards. With the addition of online ordering, there will be even less demand for
parking in the lot at the front of the building. The Planning Commission and City Council
should determine if the five-stall parking reduction is appropriate for this business. Staff
does not see the reduction of parking as significant and recommends the request.
Lighting. The plans do not include any changes to exterior lights installed on gate
building or as part of the improvements to the site. Any new light fixtures shall be full
cut off and shall be consistent with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it
relates to lighting requirements.
Signage. The plans indicate that the lighted signs above the entrance and exits of the
gate building are to be removed and relocated on the expanded building. It appears the
signs do not comply with current back lighting for signage. The sign lighting should be
designed such that only the text and logo portions of the signs are to be lit at night. The
sign background will need to be dark. All the relocated or any new signs will be
required to comply with the Zoning Ordinance lighting requirements. Staff will approve
the lighting specifications for the signs at the time of permitting.
Landscaping/Fencing. As part of the gate building expansion and change to the
driveway area at the entrance, three evergreen trees are to be moved east. The City
Arborist shall determine if the three trees can be moved or if they should be replaced.
Additionally, the City Arborist is recommending the removal and replacement of four
spruce trees on the east side of the fence adjacent to Krueger Lane. A crabapple tree
along Krueger Lane near the entrance is recommended to be removed and not
replaced. The trees would need to be guaranteed for one year after replacement or if
they are moved.
Mechanical Screening. No changes to mechanical equipment locations have been
indicated on the plans.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. Grading, drainage and utility plans
have been provided by the Applicant. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. The Applicant has confirmed with
Brown's Creek Watershed District that their review is not required.

screened by mature evergreen trees.
Roof Design
The gate building expansion is an extension of the existing roof structure.

existing Menards at 5800 Krueger Lane North subject to the conditions that follow:
1. All light fixtures shall be full cut off and be consistent with Section 401.15.B.7
of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements.
2. All signs shall be designed to comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements for
size, number, placement, and internal illumination. Staff will approve the lighting
specifications for the signs at the time of permitting. The sign lighting should be
designed such that only the text and logo portions of the signs are to be lit at
night. The sign background will need to be dark.
3. The Planning Commission shall comment on the building design and building
materials.
4. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.

RESOLUTION NO.1 9-04-23
CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FINDINGS OF FACT AND
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
0
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR
