PUD, Case No. CU 19-01 Action Requested Recommend, by motion, approval of the Conditional Use Permit to amend the approved site plan for the nd Hillside Crossing 2 Addition Planned Unit Development. Background/Discussion The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) where amendments to a PUD agreement require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to amend the approved PUD development plan to add an automated express lane for online order pickup. The applicant is requesting the PUD agreement be amended to allow for a four-foot setback along the north property line of the subject parcel to allow the construction of the proposed drive lane, retaining wall, and fence/barrier wall. Staff has no concerns with this request and only supports the drive lane, retaining wall, and fence/barrier wall being setback as shown on the site plan. No building structure, other than the covered drive-thru, can be located closer to the north property line than what is currently constructed on site. Applicable Regulation In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission and City Council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 in order to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can 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 use 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.

February 15, 2019 RE: Menards Gate Addition Dear Mr. Carlton, RECEIVED FEJ 1 5 201) Menard, Inc. is submitting a CUP application to add another lane to the yard gate on the north side of the store. Menards is in the process of adding another entrance lane to all store locations so that an automated express lane can be added to the stores for online order pickup. Guests can scan a barcode from an online order and enter the yard without waiting in the line for the gate guard to let them in. A dedicated solution to expedite online ordering and pick up is occurring at all retailers and Menards is making sure we stay competitive. The addition will be 20' on the north side of the existing gate. The canopy over the existing gate will be extended to cover the new lane. Ultimately the existing entrance and exit lanes will be shifted north so the new express lane can be added next to the store building. The materials used to construct the addition will match the existing gate. We do lose eight parking spaces for this project. However those spaces are hardly used and the main parking lot has plenty of remaining spaces to supplement the loss of the eight spaces. We do plan to relocate the existing trees along the northern property line and any trees that cannot be relocated will be replaced with the same species to maintain the look of the existing store. Menards appreciates your consideration of this request as we continue to reinvest in our stores to make sure the Elk River Menards stays open to serve the community long into the future. If you have any questions regarding this proposal please let me know. Thank you. Sincerely, Menard, Inc.
