INC. <br />October 28, 2016 <br />RE: Menards Sign PUD Amendment & Plat <br />Dear BrieAnna, <br />Menard, Inc. is submitting a PUD amendment for the highway sign facing 169. The sign was designed as <br />part of the original PUD and while the Menards panel on that sign matches that PUD the panel below <br />Menards does not match the PUD regulations. Menards plans to move the Samaritan Way Thrift Store <br />panel down three feet below the bottom of the Menards panel to separate the signs. Today the sign <br />looks like it is advertising a Menards thrift store and that does not help either of our businesses. <br />The PUD in place limits the width of a sign panel below the Menards panel to 13 feet wide. However the <br />distance between the poles is 15 feet. Menards is requesting the PUD is amended to allow the <br />additional foot on each side of the sign to cover the full 15 foot width between the poles to avoid <br />unsightly brackets holding the panel in place. It should be noted that the existing sign was installed at <br />some point at a width of 15 feet wide and has not caused any issues. There are no plans to add <br />additional panels below the Samaritan Way panel so the overall surface area on the sign will stay the <br />same. <br />Menards has also submitted a preliminary and final plat for review. A small portion of the paved yard on <br />the south side of the property is owned by the neighbor and through an agreement set up many years <br />ago has stayed in his ownership. Menards is going to take over ownership of that property and add it to <br />the overall Menards store lot. The plats add that parcel to the Menards store lot making it one <br />contiguous lot. No other changes were made to the plats beyond adding that property. <br />If you have any questions as you review the PUD amendment or the plats please let me know. Thank <br />you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Menard, Inc. <br />T r Edwar s <br />eal Estate Reoresentative <br />Menard, Inc. 5101 Menard Drive Eau Claire, WI 54703 <br />0:715.876.2143 C:715.579.6699 tedwards@menard-inc.com <br />5101 MENARD DRIVE EAU CLAIRE, WI 54703-9625 PHONE (715) 876-5911 FAX (715) 876-2868 <br />
