a. T-Mobile Telecommunications Monopole, 2220 Edgerton Street North
Planner Michael Martin presented the staff report explaining the request by T-Mobile to erect a 75-
foot-tall monopole for cellular telephone operations on land leased from Trinity Baptist Church,
located at 2220 Edgerton Street North.
Boardrnember Ledvina asked for clarification regarding rnonopole setbacks required by code and
the height of the previous monopole on this site. Mr. Martin responded that the monopole would
conform to the requirements of city code. Mr. Martin also explained that the rnonopole previously
installed on this property and now removed was 85 feet tall.
Boardmember Olson asked staff to comment on the proposed condition requiring that additional
screening be provided. Mr. Martin explained that additional screening is proposed to the north and
east of the monopole that will be consistent with what exists on the site now.
Cornmunity Design Review Board 2
Minutes 10-28-2008
Paul Harrington of 8000 W. 78th St., Suite 400, Minneapolis, representing the applicant T-Mobile,
addressed the board saying he would have no problern with the additional screening condition.
Boardrnember Ledvina asked if it is possible to locate a wind turbine at the top of the tower. Mr.
Harrington responded that it is not possible due to interference to the signal caused by the fans
turning.
Boardrnember Shankar asked about the height and location of the other T -Mobile towers in the
city. Mr. Harrington explained where the other towers are located and that they are all taller than
this tower. Mr. Harrington explained that the city required that this tower be co-locatable in the
future.
Boardmember Demko asked if an easement is necessary for this tower for rnaintenance purposes.
Mr. Harrington responded that the tower will be c1irnbed for maintenance so no easement is
necessary. Mr. Harrington said that as part of the lease agreement the church has given T-Mobile
the right for ingress and egress to do maintenance on the monopole.
Boardrnember Olson mentioned a resident's letter received by the city that cornplained of her
phone beeping and headaches and asked if there is a change in technology from the old rnonopole
to this new pole. Mr. Harrington responded that the users are all licensed by the federal
government and can work with local phone companies to mitigate phone problems.
Boardmernber Shankar asked about the color of the tower. Mr. Harrington said it would be grey
and hot dip galvanized.
Boardmernber Ledvina moved approval of the site, landscaping and design plans dated March 31,
2008 for a 75-foot-tall telecomrnunications rnonopole and ground equipment on the north side of
Trinity Baptist Church at 2220 Edgerton Street. This recommendation is based on the findings
required by code and subject to the applicant doing the following:
1. Applicant shall provide additional screening to the north and east of the monopole and
ground equipment subject to staff approval.
2. Repeating the review in two years if the city has not issued permits for this project.
3. All work shall follow the approved plans. Cornmunity Development staff may approve minor
changes.

CUP Revision and Design Approval
Menards
2280 Maplewood Drive
November 19, 2008
INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Thomas O'Neil, of Menard, Inc., is proposing to build a 16,750-square-foot (80' x 209' - 3")
unheated warehouse on the south side of the Menards store. The structure would be
approximately 25 feet tall. The proposed warehouse would be built where an existing treated
lumber rack exists. No additional impervious surface would be created with this proposal. A
screening fence, consistent with the rest ofthe property, is being proposed on the south side of
the Menards' property. Refer to the applicant's narrative statement and the site plan attached to
this memo.
In addition, Menard, Inc. is proposing to replace an existing chain link fence between the store
and Countryside VW/Saab on the east side of the property. This fence would be used to screen
a pallet racking area.
BACKGROUND
March 28, 1988:
The city council approved Menards' CUP and granted a parking reduction
authorization.
January 23, February 13, March 27 and April 6, 1989: The council changed the CUP
conditions.
The changes were to clarify the screening fence and storage-rack height
requirements.
November 14,1994, and September 11, 1995: The council amended the CUP conditions.
April 8,1996:
May 20,1996:
August 12,1997:
October 25, 1999:
The council amended the CUP conditions because of a request for a
seasonal outdoor greenhouse and plant sale operation.
The council again reviewed the CUP and directed Menards, Citgo, staff
and the neighbors to meet and discuss several issues raised by one of
the neighbors. These issues were about the screening fence, engine
noises, fumes, parking and cross traffic between Citgo and Menards.
The council reviewed the CUP again. The previous concerns and
problems have been resolved. The council moved to review the CUP
again only if a problem develops.
The city council approved a CUP revision for the building expansion and
site plan changes. They also approved the architectural, site and
landscape plans.
April 9, 2001:
The council approved revised plans for the exterior of the new addition
and required additional landscaping on the Highway 36 side of the
building.
January 30, 2004:
The city approved plans for expansion of the exterior storage area and
relocation of the fire gate.
March 27, 2006:
The city council made three approvals for Menards. They included:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) revision to enlarge the building and
amend the site plan. The city code requires council approval of a CUP
revision for an owner to expand or revise a store or site for which a
CUP exists.
2. A parking-reduction authorization for 50 spaces. The code requires
451 spaces for the store. Menards proposed to have 401 parking
stalls.
3. The site and building design plans.
September 11, 2006: The city council reaffirmed the parking reduction authorization for
Menards as approved by the city council on March 27, 2006. This
approval was to allow Menards to have 50 fewer parking spaces than the
city code requires.
Requests
Mr. O'Neil is requesting city approval of:
1. A conditional use permit (CUP) revision to build a new unheated warehouse, a screening
fence and amend the site plan. The city code requires council approval of a CUP revision
for an owner to expand or revise a store or site for which a CUP exists.
2. The site and building design plans.
DISCUSSION
CUP Revision
The proposed site revision with the addition of the unheated warehouse and screening fence
will meet the requirements for a CUP and should improve the store and the overall site. It
should not have any impact on the adjacent residential neighborhood and in fact the additional
wood fence screening should visually improve Menards impact on the neighborhood.
Site Drainage/Shoreland Requirements
The site is within the shoreland boundary of Keller Lake. Presently the site has 95 percent
2
impervious-surface coverage. The shoreland code requires a maximum coverage of 40
percent. This project will not change the amount of impervious surface on the site as the
addition for the warehouse would be constructed over a part of the existing paved storage area.
Also, the roof of the proposed warehouse is slanted towards the rest of the Menards' site so
that it will not affect its residential neighbors to the south.
Proposed Building Design and Concerns
The proposed wood screening fence on the east side of the property, near Countryside
VW/Saab, would consist of 14-foot tall vertical 2x8 green-treated wood planks. This fence
would be consistent with the other existing wood screening fences on the site.
For the warehouse Menard, Inc. is proposing to use the same materials and colors as the
recently updated fagade of the Menards store. The north face would have entry and exit areas
as well as pallet racking for the store's materials. The east and west faces would consist of a
14-foot tall screening fence consisting of vertical 2x8 green-treated wood planks. The
remaining 11 feet of the exposed warehouse would be built with emerald green steel material,
consistent with the rest of the store site. The south face of the warehouse would consist of an
approximately 25-foot high wood screen fence built with horizontal 2x8 greet treated wood
planks.
Staff is concerned about the proposed appearance of the south building elevation. While the
applicant has chosen to use materials consistent with the rest of the proposed fences and
existing site staff feels that the large, one-dimension blank wall the 25-foot tall wood screening
fence would create would be unattractive. Staff recommends that the applicant consider
shortening the height on the south fence and to use materials consistent with the east and west
sides of the warehouse for the exposed top portion of the warehouse.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Staff surveyed the 46 property owners within 500 feet of Menards for their opinions about this
proposal. Staff received one reply. That person's comments are below.
In Favor
This does not appear to change Menards impact on the neighborhood. The competition is
fierce in this industry. If Menards can't improve and grow to meet the public demand they may
be forced to relocate - that would be bad for Maplewood. (Barhan, 1174 County Road BEast)

Re: Proposed Menards Warehouse Addition
Dear Tom,
Please find enclosed herewith the Conditional Use and the Community Design Review Board
applications for the proposed warehouse addition to our existing Menards location in Maplewood
along with checks for the required fees and the engineering review escrow. Also enclosed are
sixteen (16) full-size, collated sets of each the site plan, the warehouse elevations and a
topographic survey for the City's review together with a CD containing electronic copies of all
items in 8\1," x 11" PDF format. If there are any other materials that I can provide to assist in
your review of this matter,please let me know.
As we have previously discussed, Menards desires to add a small warehouse within the existing
enclosed yard area on the south side of our store as well as a new section of fence and pallet
racking behind the store both as shown on the enclosed plans. The primary benefits of the new
warehouse will be protection of our merchandise and comfort and convenience for our
customers. Lumber and other building materials which are currently stored in this area by means
of ground stacking will be placed inside the new warehouse so that they can be sheltered from
inclement weather and loaded by customers under cover. Other benefits of the warehouse
addition include better visual, sound and light screening along our southern property line for
residents immediately to the south due to the enclosure of some of our operations and the
roughly ten feet of added screening height in this area. Both the warehouse and pallet racking
additions will also have operational benefits for our store by more efficiently storing many items
that are currently stacked within the yard and along the existing chain link fence line behind the
store thereby reducing clutter for employees and gnests using these areas and providing a cleaner
look for customers entering the rear yard enclosure.
The proposed warehouse and fence additions would use the same materials and colors as the
newly updated fa<;:ade of the Menards store, the new garden center addition and the existing
sections of 14' high fence/pallet racking enclosing the southern and western portions of our rear
yard. The remodel will not result in any changes to the impervious area of the site, the existing
utilities on site, existing landscaping or drainage patterns on our property. As shown and noted
on the plans, the new warehouse roof and the new fence/pallet racking overhang will be sloped
into the Menards outdoor yard area and will use the existing storm sewer inlets and sheet
drainage areas that currently drain these portions of the yard, There will be no additional water
directed toward any neighboring property owners as a result of the remodel. Operationally
speaking, the requested changes will not alter the product mix or amount of products available at
the store, but will only change where and how our existing products are stored and arranged.
Therefore, there will be no addition to the total retail area of our use or the resulting parking
needs for the site. For these reasons, Menard, Inc. hereby respectfully requests that the City
approve the proposed warehouse and fence additions as shown on .the enclosed site plan and
elevations.
