CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC. P.O. Box 3001 -One SE Convenience Blvd • Ankeny, Iowa • 50021-513-965-6100 Casey's Retail Company Project Narrative Casey's Retail Company is proposing the construction of a convenience store with gasoline sales it Elk River, Minnesota, located at 17119 Yale Street NW. The proposed development would include a one-story building consisting of 4,810 square feet, 8 double -sided fuel pumps, a 66' x 114' canopy over the fuel pumps, and two underground fuel storage tanks. The subject property is located in a PUD, where a convenience store use is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed Casey's General Store will have operating hours of 6 am — 11 pm, with possible extended hours of 5 am — 12 am, if permitted. The store will employ 20-25 employees, both part time and full-time, and include management opportunities. There are 15 designated parking spaces, in addition to 16 available spaces at the fuel pump. Included in the parking is 1 handicap parking space. The proposed Casey's General Store will provide screening along the west side of the property, as there is a residential zoned district to the west of the site. Landscape screening will be required at the loading zone, as well. The City of Elk River's landscaping code calls for at least one island for every 15 parking stalls. Casey's will meet this requirement by shifting the parking to the east and utilizing that additional space for a landscaping island. The building materials for the proposed Casey's General Store consist of stone veneer, brick and stucco. These materials are all permitted within the City of Elk River. The signage for the proposed Casey's General Store will include a monument sign and a number of signs on the building and canopy, which are referenced on the included sign packet. The monument sign will be a total of 10' in height, and the total area is 31.14 square feet. The monument sign will be located on the southeast corner of the property. Casey's will have one channel letter illuminated "Casey's" sign located on the building, with an illuminated Casey's logo. Casey's is proposing two snap frame signs on the building to display monthly specials. The canopy will have 3 small illuminated logos, and four snap frame signs located on the canopy columns. The total area of the signage on the building and canopy is 180.89 square footage. The proposed Casey's General Store will not have any outdoor storage. RECEIVED AUG 01 2017
