Application filed by Mike Farmer, authorized representative, Land Development Company, property owner, on behalf of Menard Inc., for approval of a Special Exception Use Permit to allow the construction of a Superstore/Big Box Retail Development. The site is within what is currently operated as Capital Quarries, and proposed to be redeveloped as part of Phase II of Stoneridge Village Subdivision, located west of Stadium Boulevard approximately 2,000 feet north of West Edgewood Drive and approximately 2,000 feet south of Missouri Boulevard. The subject site for Menard's is located approximately 1000 feet west of Stadium Boulevard, immediately south of the Wal-Mart site. The subject site is proposed for Lot 9 of proposed Stoneridge Village Subdivision, Section 2, containing approximately 17.3 acres, and consists of part of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 11, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri. Mr. Mike Bates, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request. Mr. Bates distributed visuals depicting (1) how Phase Two is anticipated to be developed; (2) the four (4) lot subdivision of Section Two; and (3) the layout of Stadium West Properties, Section One. He explained that in the 1980's the subject site was platted as Jordan Towne Subdivision Section One, which was anticipated to be a residential development. A few years later it was purchased by Capital Quarries and replatted as Stadium West Properties, Section One. Mr. Scott Nuttelman, Menard Inc., 1320 Glen Place, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, spoke regarding this request. Mr. Nuttelman explained that Menards is a home improvement retailer, similar to Lowes and Home Depot, but operates more as a true lumber yard. He stated that the yard area • will be completely enclosed with a 14 foot high opaque fence and will contain building trusses and all varieties of building materials. Mr. Nuttelman stated that the proposed store will consist of 162,000 square feet and will be identical to the existing store in St. Joseph, Missouri. Excerpt of Unapproved Minutes/Jefferson City Planning &Zoning Commission Page 2 Apri110, 2008 Correspondence in support of the proposed development was received from Schuyler • Mariea, President, Premier Bank, 815 W. Stadium Boulevard. Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report and explained that the applicant is requesting a reduction from the setback requirement of 35 feet and a reduction from the required number of parking spaces in order to allow for a minimum of 440 parking spaces. He explained that a five (5) foot sidewalk is shown adjacent to the roadway along the southern property line and a five (5) foot sidewalk is required adjacent to the roadway along the eastern property line. Mr. Barron stated that a sidewalk of at least eight (8) feet in width is shown along the frontage of the main building. He explained that the proposed signage plan consists of one monument sign, 12 building mounted signs and three in/out directional signs and that the applicant was requesting a modification of the bufferyard requirements on the western side of the property. Mr. Bates stated that he concurs with staff comments and recommendations. Mr. Bickel moved and Mr. George seconded to recommend approval of the Special Exception Use Permit for the 800 Block of West Stadium Boulevard to the City Council, subject to the following conditions: 1. A minimum of 440 parking spaces shall be provided on the site. 2. The setback from the western property line shall be established as 10 feet. 3. The bufferyard on the western property line shall be modified as follows: a. The southern 200 feet of the bufferyard shall be installed as required. b. The remainder of the bufferyard (approximately 600 feet) shall consist of a 10 foot wide open space bufferyard with the trees that are normally required being relocated to more visible portions of the site. Is 4. Show a sidewalk adjacent to the road on the eastern side of the property. 5. Construction shall be completed in substantial conformance with submitted plans and drawings. 6. Compliance with the technical corrections and recommendations of the Engineering Division.

Memo To: Pat Sullivan;Janice McMillan;Eric Barron cc: Kirk Farmer From: Scott Nuttelman r Date: 3/25/2008 Re: Parldng for Proposed Menards Home Improvement Store Per our previous discussions,I am providing this memo and the accompanying materials for purposes of giving the City some background and quantitative. information to assist in your determination of the appropriate number of parking spaces for the proposed Menards store in Jefferson City. The supporting materials that I have provided include: 1) A summary of parking totals for other new Menards locations. These locations are all Prototype V (P5) stores,the same 160,000 heated sq.ft.building we are proposing in your community; • 2) A use diagram showing the different functions of each portion of the heated and unheated areas of our facility and the square footages of each use (the store depicted is a reverse layout of the store we're proposing,but they are otherwise identical); 3) A traffic generation projection based on actual traffic counts at a Menards location in the Chicago metro area(not on the ITE Trip Generation Manuals,though both projections are in the same general range);and 4) A summary of hourly transactions during the week after Thanksgiving, one of our busiest weeks of the year,at an above-average store in terms of both transactions and total sales. We have used this information in the past as a proxy for both traffic generation and parking needs. Menards typically requests a parking variance or similar adjustment in almost every community where it proposes a new store. Through past experience at our 230+locations throughout the Midwest and a review of actual transaction rates and traffic volumes at our stores,Menards has developed internal parking guidelines that we use when site planning a new location. Ideally,we would like to have approximately 450 spaces for one of our new prototype stores and we consider about 400 spaces to be the minimum,-below which lack of parking will become a recurring issue on the busiest days of the year. As you can see on the parking total summary for other new locations, most new stores have parking within the 400 to 500 space range (with a few above or below) and we have not experienced parking congestion or other issues at these locations to date. We are proposing 449 spaces for our Jefferson City location,which is comfortably within this desired range. Byway of comparison,Menards was granted a parking variance by the City of Columbia, as part of its recently approved project there,which allows a minimum of 421 spaces(in addition to 28 bicycle spaces). There are a few primary reasons that we generally cite to justify a reduction in the required parking total for our stores. First,Menards' use is inherently different than other retail uses,like those of Wal-Mart,Target,Kohl's or Best Buy,in terms of the number and size of products we carry. Menards stores are large primarily because a • high percentage of the materials that we carry are large, bulky items and these large items require larger, roomier aisles. As a result, Menards stores have a smaller number of products and product types than a similarly sized Wal-Mart or Target store. Accordingly, Menards also tends to have fewer and larger transactions than other retailers due to the number/size of its products and the nature of its business(purchases for home improvement projects are larger, less frequent purchases than groceries, for example). Second, Menards' enclosed outdoor yard area format also reduces parking needs because, at any given time, a certain percentage of customers (up to 25%) will be in the rear yard selecting and picking up merchandise. This arrangement reduces our parking needs even in comparison to other home improvement retailers, like Home Depot and Lowe's,as their stores have internal lumber yards and limited loading areas requiring even contractor customers to remain parked in front of the store throughout their visit. Finally, as shown on the use diagram, only about 95,000 sq. ft. of the heated store area functions as true retail/display area,with an additional 28,000 sq.ft.of retail area under the garden center overhang from spring through fall. While the other areas of the store can be accessed by customers,they contain storage and receiving areas that duplicate the products displayed in the retail portions of the store. All of these factors combine to make floor area(which most zoning ordinances use to determine parking requirements)a poor indicator of actual parking need for Menards. The information contained in the transaction summary and the traffic generation projections is consistent with the above analysis,showing that a peak weekend hourly total for traffic and transactions is about 350. Even by a conservative estimation of an average stay of/� hour per store visit, this results in a non-employee parking need of about 175 spaces at the busiest time on an average weekend. At most an additional 35-45 spaces will be required to accommodate employees during the same time period,resulting in a typical peak parking need of about 220 spaces. In the case of our proposed Jefferson City store,this would result in an excess of about 230 spaces for those non-typical days—the day after Thanksgiving,the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and the Saturday of 4°'of July Weekend(usually our three busiest days of the year). One concern that is often raised when we request a reduction in the required number of parking spaces is that,at • some time in the future,Menards may vacate this site and the use of our building may change. Fortunately,we have over 4.5 acres of outdoor yard area that can be striped and converted into parking in the event of a change in use, and this amount of area should allow even a general retail user to provide more than enough parking to satisfy code requirements. For these reasons and based upon the supporting materials provided,I would ask that the City grant Menards a variance or similar reduction to the required number of parking spaces to allow a minimum of 440 spaces(this minimum will allow some flexibility for plan adjustments and cart corals). Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is any additional information that I can provide to aid in your review of this matter. Thank you for your consideration of this request. • Page 2 of 2 • P5 PARKING TOTALS Location Stalls Anderson,IN 412 Baxter,MN 393 Bay City,MI 445 Bloomington, IN 515 Columbus, IN 535 Danville, IL 438 Defiance, OH 471 Dubuque, IA 435 Dundas, MN 397 Effingham, IL 441 Findlay,OH 444 Ft.Wayne West,IN 456 Germantown,WI 531 Glendale Heights,IL 457 Grand Forks,ND 503 Greenwood,IN 419 Heartland Crossing,IN 420 Holland, OH 453 Jackson,MI 423 • Johnson Creek,WI 467 Kearney,NE 459 Lima, OH 460 Marinette,WI 415 Mitchell, SD 424 Morton Grove, IL 412 Naperville, IL 494 North Platte,NE 467 Omaha,NE 441 Plainfield, IL 466 Rhinelander,WI 418 Valparaiso,IN 418 West St.Paul,MN 455 Winona,MN 479 Yorkville, II, 456 Menards Home Improvement Store Summary of parking totals for new store locations • � I NG STALLS ' � R .

Based on studies conducted by ITE,not all trips to retail develop rents are new and some of die,trips will be diverted from existing-traffic on the roadway system. F r the purposes'of presenting conservative analyses, only trips that will be generated by the propose fast food'restaurant were reduced by 50 percent to account for pass-by traffic.'Furthermore,no I ductions were applied to account for interaction or . multi-purpose trips that will occur between thei proposed Menards store and the outlot parcels and between the proposed development and the apartment complex.

Application filed by Mike • Farmer, authorized representative, Land Development Company, property owner, on behalf of Menard Inc., for approval of a Special Exception Use Permit to allow the construction of a Superstore/Big Box Retail Development. The site is within what is currently operated as Capital Quarries, and proposed to be redeveloped as part of Phase II of Stoneridge Village Subdivision, located approximately 2,000 feet north of West Edgewood Drive and approximately 2,000 feet south of Missouri Boulevard. The subject site for Menard's is located approximately 1000 feet west of Stadium Boulevard, immediately south of the Wal-Mart site. The subject site is proposed for Lot 9 of proposed Stoneridge Village Subdivision, Section 2, containing approximately 17.3 acres, and consists of part of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 11, Township 44 North,Range 12 West,Jefferson City,Cole County, Missouri. Nature of Request A Special Exception User Permit is requested by Menard Inc. to construct a Superstore/Big Box retail development which exceeds 100,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. Superstores must obtain a Special Exception Use Permit and meet certain design standards. The proposed building contains 162,340 square feet of indoor building area, 40,608 square feet of overhang area, and 202,586 square feet of outdoor yard area. Location and Access The subject site is located approximately 1000 feet west of Stadium Boulevard on the site currently operated as Capital Quarries. Access to the store will be provided by a new interchange on Stadium Boulevard and a new public street extending west from Stadium Boulevard. A secondary street connecting the development to the existing Wal-Mart development to the north will also be constructed. Analysis Section 35-41 B.23 of the zoning code establishes design standards for Superstore/Big Box Retail Developments. The site plan and accompanying drawings have been reviewed for compliance with these standards with the following findings: 1. Community Spaces — Major new big box developments must be linked with the community and contain at least two design features or amenities. In this case,two features are proposed: a. An outdoor patio seating area at the southern entrance to the development. b. A window shopping walkway on the front of the building. 2. Setbacks — The building fagade must set back at least 35 feet from all property lines. The building meets or exceeds the 35 foot setback requirement on all property lines except the rear. In this case, the applicant has requested a reduction in the rear setback requirement. The rear of the property will be immediately adjacent to a 7 foot to 20 foot tall rock slope as indicated on the Stoneridge Village Phase 2 preliminary plat. The applicant is requesting a reduction from the required 35.foot setback down to a 10 foot rear setback in order to offer better utilization of the rear of the site and to avoid creating"dead space" that would not be immediately accessible to the public or utilized by the applicant/future property owner. 3. Landscaping—The landscaping requirements for the site are as follows: a. A Type A landscaping buffer must be provided along all abutting roadways and a Type B landscaping buffer must be provided along all other external property lines. The applicant has indicated that a Type A bufferyard will be installed on the eastern and southern property lines (adjacent to the two new streets) and that a Type B bufferyard will be installed along the western and northern property lines. The applicant has requested that the landscaping trees that are required on the western property line(at the rear of the building where a reduced setback is being requested) be relocated to areas of the site that are more visible and would provide for a higher quality of landscaping on the site. • b. At least 35% of the paved area of the parking lot must be shaded. The parking lot landscaping shown on the site plan would result in a parking lot shading coverage of approximately 37%. c. All landscaped areas shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width, 150 square feet, and protected by raised curbs. The site plan shows that the landscaped areas will meet this requirement. d. Parking lots greater than 150 spaces shall be separated by landscaped strips. The site plans show that the parking lot will be divided into three sections by landscaped strips containing Planning and Zoning Commission April 10, 2008 Case No. P08010 Page 2 evergreen trees. e. A minimum of three species of trees shall be utilized in the landscaping plan. The landscaping • plan indicates a total of 6 different species of trees. f. Groundcover. Areas not covered by grass will be covered by 3 inch deep washed river rock. 4. Pedestrian Circulation — Compliance with the Pedestrian access and safety requirements for Big Box/Superstore developments is as follows: a. A 5 foot sidewalk is shown adjacent to the roadway on the southern property line. A 5 foot sidewalk is required adjacent to the roadway along the eastern property line. b. A sidewalk is shown extending from the front of the store to the roadway on the southern property line. c. A sidewalk of at least 8 feet in width is shown along the frontage of the main building. d. The pedestrian walkways in front of the building are indicated to be integrally colored or scoured concrete crosswalks in order to distinguish them from the regular driving surface. 5. Loading Areas, Trash Collection,and Outdoor Storage—Truck loading docks and trash compactors will be located at the rear of the building as recommended. 6. Building Design—The building facades have a combination of wall projections and recesses as required for Big Box/Superstore developments 7. Entryways — Design standards call for multiple entrances to reduce the walking distance from parking areas and to enhance convenience to individual departments within a large store. The proposed store will have three main entrances. Entryway canopies, peaked roof forms, planters, and concrete/stone piers will be utilized to add character to the entryways. 8. Parking — A big box store is required to have 1 parking space per 200.square feet of floor area. A store with 162,340 square feet of heated building area would be required to have a total of 812 parking spaces. The applicant has provided information regarding the parking demand for stores similar in nature to the proposed development showing that the true parking demand for the proposed land use is substantially less . than required in the Jefferson City Zoning Code. The applicant is requesting a reduction in the required number of parking spaces in order to allow for a minimum of 440 parking spaces. Please see the attached memo and supporting information from the applicant regarding the parking requirement. 9. Signage—The proposed signage plan consists of one monument sign located near the southern entrance to the property, 12 wall signs on the front of the building, and three in/out directional signs. The proposed monument sign will be 23'8"wide and 4'3"tall and located 20 feet above the ground. Total signage on the site amounts to 679.9 square feet. The maximum amount of signage area allowed on the site is 855 square feet based on the amount of lot frontage along abutting streets. Review Criteria and Allowed Conditions No special exception use shall be approved unless the Commission finds that the use and plan: 1. Is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan; and 2. Will not substantially and permanently injure the appropriate use of neighboring property; and 3. Will not overburden municipal services, cause traffic, parking or environmental problems, or adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the community. If necessary, conditions may be imposed which: a) limit the operation of the use, b) impose performance standards to mitigate potential incompatible activities, and c) adjust the site design and layout to mitigate potential negative impacts. Staff Recommendation Review of the proposed site plan, landscaping plan, and building elevation drawings indicates compliance with the design standards for Superstore/Big Box Retail Developments with the following exceptions: 1. Rear Setback—A reduction in the rear setback from 35 feet to 10 feet has been requested by the applicant. 2. Bufferyards—The applicant has requested that portions of the bufferyard be relocated. 3. Parking—The applicant has requested the establishment of a minimum of 440 parking spaces.
