SUMMARY OF PROJECT Mr. Prochaska, representing Menard Inc., is seeking a special use permit to allow the relocation of the yard entrance to the north side of the building in the C-3, General Shopping zoning district, which is located at 5351 Central Avenue. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit. City Staff recommends approval of this speciaf use permit request as it is a modification to their existing special use permits SP# 96-05 (Menard's), and SP#96- 07 (Skywood Mall) which allows agencies selling or displaying recreational vehicles, boats and marine equipment, machinery, manufactured homes, or other similar enterprises having merchandise in the open and not within an enclosed structure. CITY COUNCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council — March 29, 2004 60 Day — March 29, 2004 Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg V P �04�03 REQUEST The petitioner representing Menard Inc., Marv Prochaska, is seeking a special use permit to allow the relocation of their yard entrance to the north side of their building. The existing yard entrance is located between the Menard's building and the Skywood Mall building. Relocating the entrance will keep all truck tra�e into the yard on the north side of the building, which is where their loading docks are located. In 1996, the Menarcfs property located at 5351 Central Avenue and the Skywood Ma{I property located at 5207 Central Avenue were granted special use permits to allow agencies selling or displaying recreational vehicles, boats and marine equipment, machinery, manufactured homes, or other simiiar enterprises having merchandise in the open and not within an enclosed structure. Essentially, this special use permit allowed a lumberyard to sell and display lumber and other associated building materials within the rear yards of the subject properties. Any change to the previously granted special use permits, requires the special use permit to be re-evaluated. C� HISTORY AND ANALYSIS Both the properties at 5351 Central Avenue (Menards) and 5207 Central Avenue (Skywood Mall) are zoned C-3 General Business. The original buifding at 5351 Central Avenue (Menards) was constructed in 1961. In 1965, storm damage to the building required it to be reconstructed to its original design. An addition to the building was • constructed in 1984 and after the 1996 special use permit was approved, the sound wall/lumber shed was built. The original mall at 5207 Central Avenue was constructed in 1964 and in 1996, Menards purchased the property. Upon purchase of the building, Menard's razed the existing 2-story office building behind the mall to expand their storage area. Menards has decided to further expand their operation into the Skywood Mall and use it entirely for their building materials department. The existing "strip mall" area on the west face fot he Skywood Mall will now be occupied by Menards, rather than smail outside tenants. Relocating the entrance to the north side of the building near the loading docks will allow customers to be safer when cross shopping befinreen the existing store and the mall portion of their facility. It will separate the truck traffic from the customer traffic. Because the loading docks are on the north side of the building, trucks delivering product will be able to enter the north location and back up to the loading docks without having to drive beyond that point, making the yard safer to customers in the yard. Menards is planning to expand their lawn and garden products in the area where the yard entrance exists today. The additional landscaping proposed a{ong the north property line should eliminate any adverse site lines into the yard, screening it from the public right-of-ways. Though all traffic will now circulate around the north end of the building, the combination of the existing sound/screening wall and the gates position on � the sire will mitigate impacts to the adjacent residential sites. City staff hasn't heard any comments from neighboring property owners. . RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as it is a modification to their existing special use permits SP# 96-05 (Menard's), and SP#96-07 (Skywood Mall) which allows agencies selling or displaying recreafiona► vehicles, boats and marine equipment, machinery, manufactured homes, or other similar enterprises having merchandise in the open and nof within an enclosed structure, subject to sfipulations. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Proposed entrance building shall comp(y with all state building and fire code requirements. 2. Fence installed befinreen the Menards building and the Skywood mall shall have a gate installed and meet the Fridley City Code Chapter 108.11.3. 3. The petitioner shall obtain any required permits prior to the start of construction. 4. The petitioner shall meet accessible parking requirements and identify stalls. 5. The proposed entrance building shall be architecturally compatible with the existing Menard's building and finished with complementary siding and color scheme. 6. Proposed landscaping along the northem property line shall be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit. • 7. All light fixtures shall be of a downcast design and shall not create a horizontal glare. 8. No materials shall be stored in a manner that allows them to be viewed from a vantage point outside the fenced area or viewed from the public right-of-way. 9. The fence enclosure shall be property maintained and kept in good repair. 10. There shall be no outdoor sales of fertilizer, pesticides, or other potential pollutants. 11. Emergency access knock down panels shall be maintained in the rear yard area for emergency purposes, while no product loading or unloading shall occur in the area behind and adjacent to the hotel site south of the Menards complex. 12.A11 emergency access routes shall be kept free from materials, display and clutter that will block or deter the safe passage of emergency vehicles. 13.A11 intercom devices shaf( be utitized in a manner and at a volume that does not negatively impact adjacent properties. 14.Access into and out of the storage area shall be clearly marked for customer clarity. 15.

Le�al Descriptions for 5351 Central Avenue (Menards) • That part of Lots 9& 11, Auditors Subdivision No. 94, lying westerly of westerly line Block 1, Skywood Addition, and lying westerly of westerly line of Beverly Hills and its southerly extension, except roads subject to easement of record. Le�al Descriation for 5207-Central Avenue (Skvwood Mall) Lot 1, Block 1, Skywood Mall . � • January 23, 2004 Pronosed Use: Menazd, Inc. would like to re-locate our yard entrance to the north side of the building neaz our loading docks to make our customer area safer for cross shopping between the existing store and the former Skywood Mall portion of our facility. We plan to expand our offering in lawn and garden products especially for the Spring Bedding Plant season which would be concentxated in the area where the yard entrance now exists. We want to sepazate the truck trai�'ic from our shoppers as much as possible for safety reasons. At the new location many of the trucks will enter the yard and back into the truck docks which are on the Northeast corner of the building never having to drive beyond that point. This will also cut down on some of the traffic behind the store. Storm Water. Storm Sewer: � There shouldn't be any additional run off. We are retuming the area to the pre- 1996 condition when the yard entrance was in the same location. We plan to add a catch basin, west of the yard entrance to pick up any run off to the west and pipe it into the ditch. Water and S�nitarv Sewer: There will be no further use or connection to the water or sanitary sewer. • �� , , , � � ��$ z , , �o ; �� m i � � � � � a � m ; ��I g � � m 9 ��o ��A° � � � ��i �� A�� 8A{i ,_ � ri-� �� . ; � A � � . 2 � � �' �� :.
