Overview
Menards is proposing to expand their outdoor lumber yard, including construction of a
67,700 square foot storage building. They are also constructing a covered garden center. In
order to expand the lumber yard, Menard's is purchasing Oudot A of Hillside Estates l0th
Addition. In order to provide a wider drive aisle on the south side of the building, a narrow
strip of the adjacent lot to the south, Lotl, Block 1, Northbound Crossing, will also be
added. The new lots will be replatted with the existing lot as Menards Addition
Land use Amendment and Zone Change
In order to expand into Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10th, the applicant is applying for a land
use amendment and zone change to change the land use of Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10th
from MR (Medium Density Residential) to HB (Highway Business) and the zoning from Rlc
(Single Family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development).
Conditional Use Permit
The site plan for the PUD requires a conditional use permit. The applicant is proposing to
construct a 67,700 square foot storage building for storing building supplies. They are also
proposing to construct a 72 foot wide canopy along entire south side of the existing store.
This canopy will cover a new garden center. The existing emergency gate on the north side
of the store will be relocated to the south side.
Preliminary. and Final Plat
The applicant is proposing to plat the existingMenards property (Lotl, Block 1, Hillside
Crossing Two), Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10th Addition and a portion of Lot 1, Block 1,
Northbound crossing into one 15.2 acre parcel, Lot 1, Block 1, Menards Addition.

Analysis
Land Use Amendment and Zone Change
To proceed with their expansion plans, the applicant must change the land use designation
of Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10th Addition from MR (Medium Density Residential) to HB
(Highway Business). The zoning must be changed from Rlc (Single Family Residential) to
PUD (Planned Unit Development). Outlot A was included in the preliminary plat of Hillside
Estates 8~ Addition as 9 single family lots.
In reviewing the request for the land use and zone change, the Council should consider
whether conditions have changed to warrant the request and whether or not the zone
change would have adverse impacts on adjacent properties.
The purpose of the Highway Business land use classification is to provide areas for
commercial uses that typically require access and visibility from the highway system. This
land use classification is also intended to provide commercial opportunities for business that
serve a broader area than the city of Elk River. The proposed land use plan amendment is
consistent with the Draft Comprehensive Land Use Plan in that it will provide additional
land that is designated for highway businesses that is contiguous with existing highway
business property and will enable Menards to update their facility and remain competitive.
The proposed rezoning to Planned Unit Development is consistent with the proposed Land
Use Plan amendment from Medium Density Residential to Highway Business. The proposed
rezoning will include uses that are consistent with the purpose of the Highway Business land
use classification.
The subject property is adjacent to existing property that is zoned PUD and will be
incorporated into that PUD. The proposed land use amendment and rezoning will allow for
the creation of a 140 foot buffer, including 50 feet of existing mature vegetation, between
Menards and the residences on the east side of Dodge Street. The current situation allows
for about a 100 foot buffer between Menards and the residences on the west side of Dodge
Street. If lots are platted on the west side of Dodge Street, they will abut the existing outdoor
storage area.
The proposed land use amendment and zone change will reduce the amount of traffic on
Dodge Street. The nine residential lots shown on the preliminary plat will not be created and
the assodated traffic generated by those nine lots will not exist.
Conditional Use Permit
The proposal includes construction of a 67,734 square foot warehouse/storage building, the
construction of a canopy to cover a new garden center, the relocation of the emergent7
access, and the construction of a new public access into the lumber yard. Additional
landscaping will be planted around the perimeter of the property. The parking lot layout will
be modified to accommodate the new flow of truck traffic through the lot.

W~/Storage Building
The new storage building will be located to the rear of the existing outdoor storage area on
what is now Outlot A. The building is 425 feet long and 158 feet wide. There is a rack
storage system attached to the west and south sides of the building, facing the outdoor
storage area. The building will be 28 feet high, from the finished floor to the top of the roof.
The rear of the building, the side facing Dodge Street, will be precast concrete wall panels
with a buff aggregate finish. The walls facing the interior of the lot will be green metal
panels. The roof is proposed to be steel with a white finish. Customers entering the building
will enter on the north end and exit at either the south or west side. No traffic from Menards
will be able to exit on to Dodge Street. Customers will have to exit the lumber yard at the
north end of the store and use the existing driveways.
The impact of this expansion on the adjacent residential properties has to be assessed. With
the proposed layout there will be a 140 foot buffer between the back of the storage building
and the closest homes on the east side of Dodge Street. Included in that buffer is a 50 foot
wide buffer of mature vegetation. There will be no homes behind Menards on the west side
Dodge Street. With the current approved residential plat, there will be lots on the west side
of Dodge Street that abut up directly with the back of the lumber yard. The houses will be
about 100 feet from the outdoor storage area. Much of the activity that currently takes place
in the outdoor yard behind the store will be moved inside the new building, resulting in less
noise being generated. The new storage building will also act as a sound wall to reflect noise
away from the residences along Dodge Street.
The visual impact of the storage building, as seen from Dodge Street, will vary. At the north
end, near the intersection with 196th Avenue, most of the building will be lower than the
street. Someone standing in the street will see the roof of the building. As you travel south
along Dodge Street, the elevation of the street gets lower and more of the building is visible.
Canopy for Garden Crater and Emergoxy Access
The site plan includes a canopy that will cover a garden center on the south end of the store.
The canopy will nm the length of the building and be extend 72 feet from the end of the
building. The front of the center will be a 4 foot high wall topped with a wrought iron fence.
Above the fence will be green triangular accent panels and clear polycarbonate panels topped
with a green accent stripe. The garden center will have direct access from the front.
Conditions should be included that limits the storage and/or display area to inside the
garden center.
The existing 15 foot wide emergency access gate will be relocated to the south side of the
building, adjacent to the new garden center and widened to 20 feet to provide better access.
Storage and display can not block the emergency access.
New Public Access to Lumber Yard
The current public and truck access to the lumber yard will be moved to the north side of
the store. This should not cause any problems. The parking lot will have to be reconfigured
to allow for the truck traffic. 13 parking spaces will be removed. They still exceed to number

of parking spaces required by code. Two parking islands will be relocated. The new islands
should be landscaped with overstory trees.
Go.al
The landscape plan includes relocating existing trees and planting 110 new ones. The trees
will be planted around the perimeter of the lots, on the outside of the fence and along dodge
Street. The new trees include 57 norway pines, 14 colorado spruce, 18 honey locusts, 15
lindens and 6 flowering crabs. 40 pines will be planted along Dodge Street and 17 along the
south property line. The lindens, honey locusts and crabs will be planted in the southeast
corner and along the south property line.
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that the trees to be saved along Dodge
Street should be analyzed to determine the most appropriate trees to be saved
A new wall sign identififing the garden center is proposed over the front entrance to the
garden center.
Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo.
Preliminary. and Final Plat
The applicant is proposing to plat the existingMenards property (Lotl, Block 1, Hillside
Crossing Two), Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10 TM Addition and a portion of Lot 1, Block 1,
Northbound crossing into one 15.2 acre parcel, Lot 1, Block 1, Menards Addition. The
preliminary and final plat is a simple one lot plat and there are no significant issues
associated with it. Comments regarding grading, drainage and utilities can be found in the
City Engineer's memo. Park dedication requirements for Outlot A, Hillside Estates 10th
Addition were satisfied with a combination of land dedication and cash payment completed
as part of Hillside Estates 9~h Addition.
Planning Commission Meeting
At the Planning Commission meeting held on March 23ra, nearby residents offered the
following comments:
_,~ inventory of the trees in the proposed 50 foot buffer should be done
Increase landscaping along Dodge Street and the southeast comer of the site to
screen the building
· No outdoor speakers should be allowed
· Lighting should directed away from the residences
The Commission discussed the need for design standards for the fence and building. The
fence should be broken up and the exterior of the building facing Dodge should comply
with the Business Park zoning district design standards.

In response to comments received at the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has
revised the landscape plan so that it provides additional screening along Dodge Street. The
rear of the storage building and the fence has been broken up with 9 foot wide green accent
panels.
Recommendation
Land Use Amendment
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the request
to amend the Land Use Plan for the subject property from Medium Density Residential to
Highway Business, based on the following findings:
The Draft Comprehensive Land Use ,Plan has identified a need for additional
property guided as Highway Business. The proposed amendment meets that need
and allows for the updating of an existing business so that it can remain competitive.
· The subject property is contiguous with property that is currently guided Highway
Business.
The proposed amendment will not have an adverse affect on adjacent residences. It
will have a positive affect in that it will allow the creation of a 140 foot wide buffer
between the residences on the east side of Dodge Street and Menards. It will also
reduce the amount of traffic on Dodge Street; the traffic associated with the nine lots
approved for Outlot A will not be created because the lots will not be platted.
Zone Change
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the request
to rezone the subject property from Single-Family Residential to Planned Unit
Development, based on the following findings:
· The proposed rezoning to PUD is consistent the land use designation of Highway
Business.
· The design of the PUD, as well as the vegetation to be preserved and proposed
screening, will reduce the impact on neighboring residences.
The rezoning will reduced the amount of traffic on Dodge Street. The nine
residences that would be located on Dodge Street will not be constructed, therefore,
the associated traffic generated by those residences will not occur.

RE: PROPOSED MENARDS ADDITION
Dear Mr. Hadicker:
As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed Menards expansion.
Based on our review and comments received at the site plan review, we would offer the following
comments:
Menards, Inc., is proposing to acquire Outlot A of Hillside Estates 10th Addition, which is
the property immediately east of their current facility up to Dodge Street. They propose
to construct a building approximately 420 feet long by 150 feet wide in order to house
most of their current outside storage.
Vehicular traffic in and around their yard will be changed. Access currently is on the
south side of the building. This will be changed to access to the yard on the north side
of the building. The area on the south side of the building will be changed into a garden
center/seasonal merchandise.
The emergency access gate will be relocated from the north side of the building to the
south side of the new garden center. At the staff review meeting, the Fire Chief asked
that the existing gates, which are approximately 16 feet wide, be replaced with gates 20
feet in width.
There is a fire hydrant centrally located in the yard area behind the Menards store. This
hydrant will need to be relocated due to the construction of the new building. At the
staff review meeting, the recommendation was to install an additional centrally located
hydrant along with the relocated hydrant: one near the existing Menards building, and
the second one near the new proposed building. The idea is that in case of fire, there
will always be a hydrant that the fire department can utilize depending on where the fire
is located.
Up at the north end of the proposed new building, there is a drive aisle approximately
24 feet in width. However, there is an existing hydrant with two bollards located around
the hydrant to protect it. We would recommend that the proposed building be located a

minimum of 24 feet from the closest bollard to allow free movement of vehicles in and

This letter is from Arthur Jackett. lam the owner of the property next to the Hillside
Estates 10th addition. My address is 1943 5 Dodge St. NAV. My property adjoins the
above addition.
Dodge St. is currently a quiet residential neighborhood, surrounded by mature trees and
m/nimal traffic. For yea's it has been anticipated Dodge St. would be expalded onto with
residential housing. Now we have found out that the planning commission is considering
changing the land use designation from residential to highway business and rezoning from
single family residential to planned unit development.
How would each of you feel if you found' out a lumber yard was going to be built across
the street fi'om your house instead o¢a park or another home9 Instead of minivans &iving
down your street everyday you sg~v durn~'t~cks and semi's instead?
I am opposed to the proposed Menards addition. If this addition is allowed, I will have a
very ~y view of Menards. ~
This expansion will have a negative effect for the property owners on Dodge St. to 193rd
ave. This could cause a decrease in our property values.

make this expansion more agreeable property owners adjacent to the new addition. ;_-/( 4r{~q !5'
The), can be:
1. All trees that are unnecessarily removed or destroyed that do not get in the way of this
expansion be replaced by trees 10 to 15 feet in height and a fine of $500 per tree be
assessed.
2. A wall of sufficient height to block the view of Menards addition with green space and
landscaping with trees or bushes between the fence and Dodge St. w~ ~ ' ~ ,..~..d: ,'
3. All materials stored in Menards yard should be covered and not exceed the height of
the walls
3. Ail noise to be suppressed and not to exceed 70 decibels.
4. All yard lights to point towards the ground so as the neighborhood wild not be
illuminated.
5. No outside loudspeakers.
6. Protection from noise caused by heating and air conditioning equipment
7. Trucks hauling materials to and from Menards are not to use Dodge St. This can be
done by placing a load limitation on this street., · . ..
Dodge St.. when fifilshed will now become a thru street. People will use it to avoid the
traffic on Hwy 169. [ use the back streets on Dodge now. It's a great way to avoid the
traffic on 169. Wait until the summer weekend travelers find out that Dodge is a through
street.
City plam~ing and the developers are telling us there will be less traffic because of the nine
lots taken up by Menards. They fail to mention the big increase in traffic as Dodge St.(',-~'~
