Case No. P 16 -20
• Conditional Use Permit to Amend Hillside
Crossing II PUD Signage, Case No. CU 16 -32
Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Conditional Use Permit to amend the Hillside Crossing II
Planned Unit Development language relating to signage.
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Preliminary Plat for Menards Second Addition.
Background /Discussion
Preliminary Plat
The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Plat to combine the two adjacent parcels that Menards currently
occupies. The parcels are located on different plats, which requires a formal platting process. Menards is
taking ownership of this portion of land and is asking to add this portion to the Menards Addition plat in
order to have one contiguous lot.
The proposal meets the design standards for lot size and frontage.
Park Dedication
Park dedication is not required for this plat as no additional lots are being created and park dedication has
already been paid.
Conditional Use Permit
The Hillside Crossing II Planned Unit Development (PUD) was established in 1996. The applicant is
requesting an amendment to the current PUD agreement to allow freestanding signage for the Samaritan
Way Thrift Store to span the width of the existing freestanding Menards sign and ensure compliance for
the existing sign. The applicant is proposing to update the PUD agreement to allow additional signage on
the Menards sign to be 15 feet wide and a maximum height of 35 feet.
Staff proposes updating Attachment A of Exhibit F, which includes the sign regulations, specific to the
Menards freestanding sign to the following:
Exhibit F:
I. Sign Requirements
b) Development Sign (Along Highway 169)
�'•EaEO I
NATURi
2. One freestanding development sign identifying the HILLSIDE CROSSING II PROJECT.
This sign is permitted within the triangular corner of Gttdat G, 14IL-bSIDE CROSSING 11
Lot 1 Block 1, HARLEY ADDITION.
3. This sign may have a maximum height of thiM-five (35� feet and width
of thirty -four (34) feet. Multiple tenants may be identified on this sign; as illustrated on
Attachment A.
Attachment A:
EXHIBIT "A"
The proposed amendment will provide additional space between the Menards and additional tenant
signs, while also providing a uniform look for the sign. The proposed amendment will not impact
freestanding signs, other than Menards.
Staff supports the amendment to improve consistency with other commercial properties located along
Highway 169. The proposed change satisfies the request from Menards, while maintaining the intent of
previous amendments to the Hillside Crossing PUD as they relate to freestanding signs along Highway
169.
Statutory Review Period
Per State Statute 15.99 the required 60 day review period ends on December 30, 2016.
Council Meeting
If acted on, this item will go to the December 19, 2016, City Council meeting.

RE: Menards Sign PUD Amendment & Plat
Dear BrieAnna,
Menard, Inc. is submitting a PUD amendment for the highway sign facing 169. The sign was designed as
part of the original PUD and while the Menards panel on that sign matches that PUD the panel below
Menards does not match the PUD regulations. Menards plans to move the Samaritan Way Thrift Store
panel down three feet below the bottom of the Menards panel to separate the signs. Today the sign
looks like it is advertising a Menards thrift store and that does not help either of our businesses.
The PUD in place limits the width of a sign panel below the Menards panel to 13 feet wide. However the
distance between the poles is 15 feet. Menards is requesting the PUD is amended to allow the
additional foot on each side of the sign to cover the full 15 foot width between the poles to avoid
unsightly brackets holding the panel in place. It should be noted that the existing sign was installed at
some point at a width of 15 feet wide and has not caused any issues. There are no plans to add
additional panels below the Samaritan Way panel so the overall surface area on the sign will stay the
same.
Menards has also submitted a preliminary and final plat for review. A small portion of the paved yard on
the south side of the property is owned by the neighbor and through an agreement set up many years
ago has stayed in his ownership. Menards is going to take over ownership of that property and add it to
the overall Menards store lot. The plats add that parcel to the Menards store lot making it one
contiguous lot. No other changes were made to the plats beyond adding that property.
If you have any questions as you review the PUD amendment or the plats please let me know. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
Menard, Inc.
