Mr. Robinson stated Menard, Inc., was located on the southeast quadrant of
the Hi�ay 65/I-694 exchange. T.he property was zor�d. C-3 and was abutted
by residenti.al, single family, to the east, and R-2, duplex zoning, but

PLAl�TIlVG Q�NIl�SSION N�'r'�. JUl� 22, 1988
� Mr. Robinson stated. a public hearing was apened on May 4. At that time, the
petitioner was proposing an expansion of the storage yard in the
southeasterly portion of the exi.sting storage yard. �cavation had already
begun for that portion of the storage ya,rd as the petitioner was not aware
that he needed a pezmi.t and. a special use pennit for that exp��nsion.
N�. Robinson stated at this time, the petitioner has submitted a revised
plan which actually results in the reduction of outside storage of approx.
4,000 sq. ft. Detailed maps for the various buildings show that Building C
would be a 3- level storage structure where l�nber would be stored on the
lower i�vo levels, ar�cl insulation batting would be stored on the thi�rl level,
with asphalt shingles on the roof ar�d residential-type sid.ing on the outside
of the structure. The structure height fr�n the storage yard grade would be
34 f�t arx7. frcan the slaped c.�ade a mi.nunLUn of 9 feet and a maximum of 16
feet, as the grade dc�es vaYy.
1�. Rabinson stated. Building B to the r�rth would be 34 feet high, but would
be an apen structure ar�d would r�ot have three 1 evel s. The grade woul d be
retairnd with a concrete wall wereas with Bui.lding C, the grade would merely
be reta.ined with the wooden structure.
1�. Robinson sta.ted Building A was a�naller structure 19 feet high with the
same exterior finis�Y�.. The reason the structure was sma].1er to the north was
because of the exposure to Highway 65/I-694, so it was felt that a ta.11er
structure would r�t be appropriate in tYiis area.
^ Mr. Robinson stated the C-3 zoning for Menards does extend into Outlot B
which was platted with the Beverly Hills Addition. The R-2 zoning for the
apartment c�nplex extermled to the Menards property line. This information
was im,�ortant because it outlines the variances that were included with this
current petition. He described the variances and sta.ted these would be
hearrl by the Appeals Cc�nission on June 28.
�
1�. Robinson sta.ted. there has been a history of a conf 1 ict related to the
use of the storage yard ar�l the neighbors' enj oyment of their properties.
These would be the r�ei��bors to the in¢c�ediate east--the houses which sit on
top of the escar�canent scane 40-50 feet above the storage yard area..
Mr. Rabinson stated.staff �lieved the praposed structures would create a
r�ise b�arrier, but to what extent they did not know. The petitioner has
scme site lir� drawings which ir�clicate i-hat the site line over the building
wauld intersect with the xnof of the Menard store proper so there would no
longer be views into the starage yard. In addition, they are proposing to
load the top level of Building C with insulation to damper the noise which
has been a problen.
Mr. R�obir�son sta.ted staff was also rec�¢nending the follawing stipulations
to l�lp red.uce the rx�ise prablens:
1. Working drawings for all structural improvanents to be sigr�d by a
registered engineer.

(Reference to Public Works m�no da.ted May 10, 1979, whiczh refers
to a Feb. 15, 1978, meeting with the residents arrl N�s, whereby
an agre�nent was made as outlined above.)
3. Notwithstar�ling it�n 2 above, all other activity in the storage yard
area. will be conf ir�ed to the follaaing �, ime s:
Mon. - Fri. 7:00 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Saturday 7:30 a.m - 6:30 p.m.
S�ay 9:00 a.m. - 5s30 p.m.
4. Nlenards will provide screening slats for the westerly facing fer�es
ar� �tes.
5. Nlenards will replace all dead plant material i.n the boulevard area.
l�. Rabinson sta.ted the special use �rmit was being pursued at staff's
request to help clean up the long-standing problem with the neighbors.
Menards dQes r.x�t have a special use permit for the storage yard at this
time, a�l although they are reducing the outside stora.ge, staff still felt
^ it was in both the City's arx�1 Mena�d.'s best interest to pursue and abta.in a
special use permit arxl live witl�.in the guidelir�s tt�at are set up with the
special use permit.
Mr. Mazv. Prochaska, Menard, Inc., stated the actual grade elevation
difference between the outside storage yard area and Mary Matthews' house
was 60 f�t. Using that ir�fo�tion, they had drawn some site lines with
the correct dimensions to exhibit wha.t will happen. In their original
proposal, they were talking about a 5 foot setback fran the property line.
They are now nx�ving that setba.ck further west to a 10 foot setba.ck.
N�. Procriaska sta.ted he ha.d brought s�ne samples of residential siding to
show the neigl�bors arml. to get s�ne input frr�n the r�ighbors as to wha.t they
would like to see.
N�. Proc�iaska sta.ted Building A was 14 feet high which should not affect
Mrs. Matthews, but it prabably should help the nei�bors in the apartment
buildings. On the south e�l, the reason they are constructing only a fence
was beca.use there is a Sta,ndard Oi1 Pipelir� that runs down the middle of
the property and that is under easement so they cannot build anything
�*�nPnt there except a fer�ce.
Mr. Procl�aska stated he had r�t seen the stipulations before this meeting,
but he had discussed then sc�nc�vhat with staff. He stated that regarding
stipulation #2, when those hours were dxaf ted, the store was not open on
Sundays. He sta.ted Mer�rds ar�igina].ly started out trying to build j ust a
�'1 sourn7. barrier type fence, ar�l it has now gone full circle to the point where
-3-
P.[�Al�TIl�TG C1�i SION MEE'rIlVG. JUl� 22i 8
� they are building this entire structure across the entire back of the
building arnd are sperx3ing approx. $250, 000 on the proj ect. As far as the
hours of aperatian, Y� d.iscussed this with staff at previous meetings, and
he felt he r�eeded an additional 1/2 hour in the evening (stipulation #3).
Mr. Prochaska stated that.in discussions with the store management,
management was saying that 75% of the time the 1/2 Ymur would probably work,
but for all practical purposes, it should be 1 hour af ter store closing.
They have eustcaners who ccene in 5 mirnites before closing, insist on buying
scgnething, a�l then expect to be able to pick that iten up. It was pretty
hard to chase cust�s out the d�oor, so he would like to see stipulation #2
deleted entirely and see stipulation #3 changed to add an additiona.l 1/2
hour later in the eveni.ng.
Ms. Mary Matthcsas sta.ted the r�eigl�bors were not obj ecting to custo�n.ers being
in the yard later in the �vening; but they were obj ecting to the rwise of
the fork lifts ar�d the dropping of ltunber.
Ms. Matthews asked if there were any other acoustical pravisions.
N.[r. Prochaska. stated that the lawer part of Building C would contain
materials that are r�isy to tu�il.oad, so they would be in th� �ound. The top
level was for the storage of insulation, and those materials would be
harrr7l ed by hand. At times, the top would be entirely fu11 of fiberglass
insulation. -
^ N�. Barna asked if Mr. ProcYaaska was planning to put a layer �mderneath the
siding on the upper back of Bui.ld.ing C, or was it j ust going to be siding
aver the bQards?
Mr. Prochaska. sta.ted that depending on the type of siding, they probably
would r�ot.
Ms. Matthews sta.ted she did r.�t feel �ney had to be spent on fancy siding.
She would rather see the money spent to ensure there was enough sounci
proof ing.
Mr. Prochaska. stated he would then suggest that instead of using a
residential- type siding, on the inside they could sheath it with a 25-30
second insulation board which was sound deadening, using a 1/2-5/8 inch
flake board exterior-typ� product ar�l paint it with scane ea.rth tone color.
For the iroof, they were proposing asphalt shingles wer an �lerlaymen.t.
Ms. Matthews asked about the fork lift r�ise.
Mr. Prochaska stated he would hope that this vaould take ca.re of all the
prablens the x�eighbors 1�ad and they would not have to be concerned. about any
noise.
Mr. Robertson sta.ted that whsn big shignents co�e i.n, whPxe will the trucks
be un].aading these shipments? Will they be in the open area which is not
/� protected by the souncl lines? That was why sta.ff was �ng that the
-4-
1�l�A1�Il�TIlJG CJ�N�IISSI �IlVG, � 22, 1988
,� hours far imloading of trucks be limi.ted as stated in stipulation #2. When
the trucks are being iuiloaded and the material s are dumped on the aspha.l t
hard star�d, that is when a lot of the rx�ise occurs.
Ms. Matthews stated. she felt the hours as proposed by staff were legitimate.
The mise �ntinues tmtil 11:00 p.m. some nights when the fork lifts are
nu�ning around rearranging wha.t has been iu�].aaded off the trucks.
Mr. Pror�aska sta.ted they have to c:oane up with scane hours that Menards can
live witht otherwise, thhey mi.ght as well leave it the way it is.
Ms. Sherek stated she arid her husband were recently shopping at Menards.
57ie stated i t took f orever t� f ir�l what they had a1 ready paid f or, and i t
was after 9:30 p.m. hy the time they pulled out of the yard. She stated.
there were rn� other custc�ners in the yard when they lef t, but there were
four fork lift txucks i.n aperatiorr-t�vo of them repeatedly dropping whole
forklift 1Qads of fence pipes onto the p�av�nt. The noise was deafening.
That was at the south end of the buildig. Why couldn't Menards have
�nplayees doing that at 8:00 a.m. instead of 9:30 p.m.?
Mr. Dahlberg asked wha.t the straight line distance was from the Mena.rd
property lirie to the adjacent residents.
l�ir. Procriaska stated it was about 150 feet.
^ N.Ir. Dah'lberg sta.ted that in order to construct each of these structures, it
vaas going to requi.re a signi.ficant amount of excavation in the footings back
into the hil l. It sec�ned to him that was going to signif icantly af f ect sane
of the existing vegeta.tion in t,he area. Was there ariy provision for
replacing plant materials that are disturbed.?
N.f�. Prochaska stated that on the 10 foot strip that they disturb, it will be
revegeta.ted, but it wi11 prcalo�ably be replanted with grass, because it will
l�ave to ca.tch the drairrage ccaning dawn the hil.l arxi transport it north and
south. He would not want to put in trees that would stap the drainage flow.
He stated they wi11 tak� whatever precaution they can to not destroy any
tx°ees on Ms. Matthews' P�Pe�Y•
Mr. Dahlberg stated that Mer�rds will have to abide by those assurances to
the City that they will talce every precaution, and. the City will ha.ve to
trust that �*+��_s will do that.
Mr. Robinson stated maybe a field survey should be done in terms of wha.t
trees there are now and which trees are in jeopardy because of the
construction. He thought that probably an�other stipulation should be added:
"Mena.rds will agree to an erosion control plan and turf restoration plan
upon ccanpletion of the proj ect. "
Mr. Dahlberg asked Mr. Prochaska to give a further explanation or
justificatian of wYiy it was r�t possible to control the hours of ogeration
of the far�k lift vehicles and/or semis that are bringing material to the
� storage yard.
-5-
PL�Al�T�TG CAN,ll�IISSION MEEPIl�, JTIl� 22, 1988
/'� Mr. Prochaska stated it was pretty hard to control because they have some
semis bringing in deliveries frean out of taRrri, ar�. it was hard to say n�n�
that the truck could r�t tuil.oa.d atx7. would ha.ve to wait until morning. He
stated they really need to have 1 hour af ter closing f or truck del iveries
and tm7.oading ar�cl stocking.
N�. Steve Billings stated he �erstood the petitioner's concern in ternns of
aperation relative to custc�ners in the yard. As far as the concern about
the truck drivex who aanes in ar�l wants to unload, there has to be a cut-off
time wYaen that driver is told he ca.ru�t �load--whether that time is 8:00
p.m. and. the driver arrives at 7 s55 p.m. or it is 11:00 p.m. ar�d. the driver
arrives at 10:55 p.m. So, he could r�t buy the arg�mient that it was hard to
sa.y "r�" to truck drivers ccxning in late. However, more 3mportantly, was
his concern that the plan identif ies the structure as a sour�7. barrier. They
are all sa.ying this 25-30 second sheathing is going to help the sound more
i-han n4t having the sheathing, but the question he had was: Hav much sound
were they deadening by these particular materials--2�a of the sound, 80�a of
the sour�c7.? The r�eighbors have lived with a sound problem for ma.ny years.
The fact that they are ta.lking about issuing a special use permit for
storage in tliis yard is the one chance the City and the neighbors ha.ve of
tzying to solve this probl�n. He would hate to waste that �e on a"gut"
feeling of people wlw are r�t experie��ed as sound experts to decide this is
really going to do something. It was his understa.nding that when the
petitionsr applied for a ferace variance, the Appeals C�¢nission reco�ended
the petitioner get a sou�. engineer to evaluate the acoustical value of that
^ fence. It was also his �lersta�cling that the reason Nlenards delayed c�ning
ba.ck to Planning Cc�¢nission soonex was beca.use of thei.r need to find a so�
engineer to evaluate the souncl deadening value of the fence. So, another
question he had was: Has n�*��G clone that, hav much sound deadening will
the fence do, ar�d what is the anticipated effect?
Mr. Ba.rna stated the 25-30 sec;orx7. sheathing �terial has an enormous sound
dea.dening ability to it. It was inexpensive, easy to install, and easy to
maintain.
N�. Betzold stated there was no question that putting in these types of
materials should absorb more sound, but mayl� it was r�ot the best way. Ms.
Matthews' h+owse was on the hill. Was it possible that by putting in scsne of
these materi.als, there might be a ricocheting effect, and it mi.ght even
ir�rease the r�ise to scsne e�ent7 He sta.ted N�. Billings' point was well
taken, ar� they might r�ed scene kind of expert to look at this.
Mr. ProcY�aska sta.ted he did r�t table this at the Planning Cc�¢nission level
last ttime to go out and hire a sound engineer. They tabled it just to
review the whole proj ect to see if they even wanted to do it or if it was
feasible for Mp*�*�a and to help the noise problem for the neighbors. He
sta.ted he had talked to Dave Kelso, Pollution Control Agency, and. the person
recca[aner�.ed at Mim�esota Depari�ment of 'I`ransportation. Both of these people
said sour� barriers and stopping sound was, at best, a"practice", like
practicing law or practicing medicine. They said if the site line was
reduced ar it intersects tha.t site line, Mer�s will lzave done as much as
^ th�y can. 1�. Prochaska sta.ted Mer�a.rds has done that. They have gone as
�
PLAl�Il�TIltTG O�PM�SSION N.�°I'IlVG, JUl� 2�, 1988
- �
� high. as they have to tryy ar�rl intersect that site line, beca.use they ha.ve
been told that site lines arid sound lir�s pretty much follow the same pa.th,
and tl�a.t intersecting that site lir�e shou7.d reduce the so�d..
Mr. Dahlberg stated he thought Mr. Proc:haska' s co�ents were accurate and
appropriate with respect to sound. being transferred. He sta.ted that if the
Planni.ng Cc�unission is going to request that a whole scientif ic study be
ur�7.ertalcen to detern►ir� what sound is going be transferred with respect to
this particular proj ect, then Menards is probably going to say they will
forget the whole proj ect axx7. rx�t do anyl'h; �' at all arxl cantirn.ie to function
as they have. He stated. in ter.ms of rn�ise, the present situa.tion was going
to be worse tl�an if they let Menards do what is being proposed.
Ms. Matthews sta.ted tha.t �less there is sane guarantee that what is being
proposed is going to improve the situation, then they might as well live
with what they already have. Why go to that expense? She thought Mr.
Billings' request was legitima.te. She did not think Menarda ha.d to go to
the expense of a big scientific study, but she would like some assurances
tl�at this proj ect is going to prove scgnething.
N�. Saba stated. the whole point of a souncl absorption material was to absorb
the sound and r�t to reflect it.

HEAR�TG C�OSID AT 8:45 P.Nl.
Mr. Barna. sta.ted that at the Appea].s Cat¢nission meeting, he was in favor of
having a sour�l engiraeer look at this. Naa, in seeing this type of design,
he was more ccenfortable with this design than. with the so� b�a.rriers MnDOT
has put along the highways. He stated he really f el t this type of
structure, as groposed by Menards, would help cut dawn the noise to the
residents adjacent to Menards.
Mr. Saba stated. he thought this was a far better plan than the la.st orie, and
was an act of g+ood faith on the part of Menard.s in solving the problem.
They are going to c�eat expense atx�7. are getting the neighbors irlvolved.
Mr. Dahl..berg ar� Mr. KorKlrick stated they had no obj ection to the special
use pezmit.
Mr. Barna stated he really felt there should definitely be some working
drawings for all structural imprwenents.
N�. Kondrick stated he could see nothing wrong with the current
recc�anerg7ation by staff for the truck deliveries. He sta.ted the company he
works for relies on truck deliveries; but when the doors close, the trucks
must sit outside ar�7. wait until the r�xt n�rning at 7:30 a.m. to unloa.d. The
truck drivers soon learn what they can arx7. canr�t do and that is what they
have to abide by. � He did understarsl with the retail business that when a
� custc$nex ct�nes in 5 minu.tes before closing time, it can be a real hassle ar�l
-7-
� QON�tISSION N�ETIlVG. JUi� 22, 1988
� extra time is needed, but he thought 1/2 hour after closing time was
adequa.te.
Mr. Robertson sta.ted. Mr. Billings was suggesting that stipulation #1 be a
little more specific in referring to structural drawings, particularly for
the structure with the sound proofing. He sta.ted that stipulation could be
strengthened before it goes to City Cc�uncil.
1�. Saba. stated. that regarding stipulation #2, if Menards fir�ds these hours
really do r�t work, they could always ccsne ba.ck at a later time and ask f or
an extension of Y�ours based. on �st experience.
N�. Barna agreed. He stated. that 6-8 �nths af ter the proj ect is ccenpleted,
if the neighbors-are satisfied, Mer�s cfluld c�ne ba.ck in arx3 request that
the hours be changed ar�c7. ask for delivexies on Sunda.ys.
Mr. Dahlberg sta.ted. he did not agree. He stated they should come to an
agre�nent on hours tl�at are reasonable for both Nlenards and the City. Maybe
they c:ould allow deliveries on Sundays, but limit the hours.
1�. Kormlrick asked Mr. ProcJnaska wha.t Ymurs he would like for Sunday.
N�. Prochaska sta.ted there are rx�t many truck deliveries on Sunda.ys, because
it was only Menards trucks delivering on Sunday, ar�l it was d.ifficult to set
h+ours for that. HHowwever, he would be in agre�nent with the hours 9:00 a.m.
