Memo to Planning Commission <br /> LUA 96-1, ZC 96-11, P 96-1 and CU 96-1 Page 5 <br /> <br />The proposed Menards is expected to be approximately 161,160 square feet in <br />size. Of this total building area, approximately 100,000 square feet will be <br />dedicated to actual retail space While 40,000will be cold storage, 20,000 <br />shipping and receiving. The current site plan illustrates 388 parking stalls <br />on the Menards site. These numbers do not meet the city's ordinances if a <br />typical retail ratio is used. If the city's ordinance was to be met, Menards <br />would need to either provide or demonstrate the ability to provide an <br />additional 112 spaces. However, Menards has provided documentation that <br />their particular business does not necessitate the amount of required parking <br />that a general retail business would demand. Included in this report is a <br />letter from Menards along with information they have compiled from other <br />stores built over the years to help support the request for reduced amount of <br />parking. <br /> <br />Signage/Development Standards <br /> <br />Attached is a proposed PUD Agreement proposed by the developer outlining <br />the signage and development standards for Hillside Crossing II. For the <br />most part, this agreement is tailored after Hillside Crossing I. and Elk Park <br />Center. <br /> <br />The following are highlights: <br /> <br />Development Sign (along Highway 169) <br /> <br />Basically two development signs are proposed; one identifying <br />Menards and another identifying the Hillside Crossing II <br />Development. Both Hillside Crossing I and Elk Park Center were <br />limited to one development sign. It may be appropriate to consolidate <br />these two signs into one similar to the other planned unit <br />developments. <br /> <br />Monument Sign for Freestanding Sites <br /> <br />This proposal is identical to the other planned unit developments. <br /> <br />Wall Signs (Freestanding Sites) <br /> <br />The proposed wall signs, except for Menards, are similar to other <br />planned unit developments. Menards is proposing to have 8 product <br />signs ranging in size from 10 sq. ft. up to 20 sq. ft. Each sign will have <br />individual light letters with a height of two feet. These signs will be <br />spread out across the front of the building. <br /> <br />s:\planning\pc\hilsid2.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
