and abatement of all concerns must be completed by December 17, 2016.
2. The authorized use shall not begin until the Conditional Use Permit is recorded.
3. If the proposed work described in the application and Conditional Use Permit has not been

Background/Discussion
Case No. CU 16-25
Menards is proposing to expand their existing facility to include heated interior and covered exterior
storage, and one additional loading dock. All of the improvements will take place within the fenced in
area and the existing 14 foot wooden fence will screen all of the proposed improvements.
Building
Improvements to the existing Menards building will be located on the backside, of the building. The
covered outdoor storage areas are in the rear of the fenced in area. The new heated storage area will be
8,127 square feet and the new exterior warehouse will be 10,642 square feet.
Signage
Additional signage is not proposed for this project, and all existing signage will remain.
Parking
The proposal increases the amount of warehouse and storage space, but the increase in space does not
push parking needs beyond what is currently provided.
Hours of Operation
The hours of operation will remain the same and be 6:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday,
and 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Applicable Regulation
Conditional Use Permit
The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit may be ordered only if the use at the proposed location:
1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the
public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
The proposed use will not detrimentally affect nearby property as the use fits with the intended use
of the development and is surrounded by other commercial establishments or includes screening
from the residential neighborhoods.
2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The use is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use fits the highway commercial
guidance for the property.
3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.
The surrounding area is nearly fully developed, and the proposed use will not affect the remaining
vacant lots.
4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police
and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular,
create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.
The facility is served by city services and there does not appear to be any other potential impacts to
public facilities or services.
5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to
any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations.
The proposed use does not involve hazardous materials or activities that may detrimentally affect
nearby properties or residents.
6. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.
The expansion is located entirely within the existing fenced area and does not include exterior site
modifications that may damage natural or historic features in the area.
7. Will fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and standards for the
issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city.
The applicant is required to comply with all other sections of the code and must apply for all required
building permits in addition to the Conditional Use Permit.
If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by
findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section
30-654.
In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of
these standards.
Planning Commission
During the public hearing a representative from Menard’s spoke and described additional project details,
including a note that additional lighting will not be included. A resident north of Menard’s asked for
clarification on timing and truck traffic related to the additional loading dock. The Menard’s
representative addressed the question and stated additional trucks will not be routed to the store, but that
the additional dock allows for more efficient use of the existing traffic. He noted the desired construction
time will be next spring, and that all of the work will take place inside of the existing fenced in area.
The Planning Commission did not have any concerns or comments and unanimously recommended
approval.
Financial Impact
None
Statutory Review Period
Per State Statute §15.99 the required 60 day review period ends on October 28, 2016.
