Rezone the property from B-1, Limited Business District, to B-2, Retail Business District. 2. Site plan approval for the construction of a commercial retail building with 75 off-street parking spaces and an onsite stormwater basin. 3. Conditional use permit for the donation drop-off facility along the east side of the proposed retail building. The property address is currently 7350 80th Street South, but is recommended to be changed to 7375 Hardwood Court. The proposed retail building is shown on the base map below: Location Map Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 2 of 13 Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 22, 2013 for the rezoning and condi- tional use permit applications. Staff summarized the proposed re-development plan. The Plan- ning Commission asked the applicant if they had considered other locations in Cottage Grove, wondered if there is a market in Cottage Grove for this type of retail use, expressed concerns if the new building becomes vacant, wanted information from the Woodbury Goodwill Store that might indicate how many Cottage Grove residents shop there, general questions about a side- walk connecting to the retail property east of the site, and if the proposed building could be expanded for more tenant space. The applicant reported that Goodwill has been constructing new stores in many second and third ring metropolitan communities and Cottage Grove has been considered for several years. Cottage Grove demographics are comparable to other community demographics where new Goodwill stores were constructed. The applicant explained that new Goodwill Stores are archi- tecturally designed to blend in with other major retailers and have a business plan that supports the ongoing maintenance and operations. The proposed landscaping plan will enhance the vis- ual appearance of the site and will be an improvement as compared to the site's existing condi- tions. The applicant said Goodwill has no plans to sell the building or vacate the site, but the building's design can easily be reused for other retail uses. The proposed development plan maximizes the building size and provides adequate off-street parking, landscaping, and on-site detention of stormwater runofF. The applicant stated that proposed development plan does not provide any opportunities to construct an addition onto the building for more retail businesses. The Commission acknowledged that older Goodwill Stores in other communities have different market, image, and shopping experiences. In growing and more productive communities, mer- chandise is reflective of the community that a Goodwill Store is located in. Merchandise from other Goodwill Stores is moved to other stores to balance other communities' needs. In closing, the applicant stated that other retailers respect Goodwill Stores, recognize they run a first class operation, and will reflect the community they are in. The applicant said the only other site they know of in Cottage Grove that Goodwill considered was the Home Depot redevelopment pro- posal in the Grove Plaza Shopping Center. Since the former Coldwell Burnet site was for sale and the Home Depot redevelopment proposal was not proceeding forward, Goodwill decided to move forward with redeveloping the former Coldwell Burnet property. Survey information from the Woodbury Goodwill Store indicating where customers are from is not available. The Woodbury Goodwill Store said they do not ask for the customers' zip code. The Goodwill Corporate Office explained that their check-out registers do have the ability to in- put zip code information, but they do not utilize that function. For this reason, Goodwill is not able to provide information about the percentage of customers shopping at the Woodbury Goodwill Store that are Cottage Grove residents. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the former 7350 80th Street prop- erty be rezoned from B-1 to B-2 and unanimously recommended to the City Council that the site plan and conditional use permit applications are approved, subject to certain conditions. The findings of facts supporting the rezoning request and the conditions approving the site plan and conditional use permit as documented in the Planning Staff Report are included in the attached draft resolution. An excerpt from the Planning Commission's unapproved minutes is attached. Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 3 of 13 Ordinance Requirements This parcel is currently zoned Limited Business District (B-1). The B-1 District was intended to provide administrative and related office uses with more restrictive controls since they might be reasonably close to residential uses. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to B-2, Retail Business, since the property is currently surrounded by other commercial properties that are zoned B-2. The B-2 District is for retail sales and service types of businesses. The pro- posed retail store is consistent with the B-2 zoning classification. All the proposed building and off-street parking setbacks comply with the B-2 zoning district's minimum development standards. Planning Considerations Existing Conditions The site is currently occupied by a two-story office building, constructed in 1986. The existing building will be demolished and the parking lot removed as part of this redevelopment proposal. The layout of the existing building and parking area is shown below: � � ��.'� !„ . _ _ - - -- -- ,; . -�- _ _ - i � � , . � � . 1fARpw�OQ C��,RT � 'S, ' ' O � Q 4 � .�y . � � � �, � ____�,, � . ��, � � � ��. � ,. �, � � � .

Existing Conditions Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use Designation The future land use map in the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows this prop- erty with a commercial land use designation. This land use designation is consistent with the Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 4 of 13 existing B-1, Limited Business, and requested B-2, Retail Business, zoning classifications. Other properties north, west, south, and east of the subject property also have a commercial land use designation. Rezoning this parcel to B-2 is still conforming to the commercial land use designa- tion in the Comprehensive Plan. An excerpt from the Future Land Use Map showing the desig- nated land uses surrounding the subject property is shown below. Zoning The B-1 and B-2 zoning classifications are consistent with the commercial land use designation shown on the Future Land Use map of the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning and redevelopment of this property for retail commercial use is consistent with the approved Comprehensive Plan. Properties surrounding the subject property are currently zoned B-2, Retail Business District. City staff supports the request to rezone the subject property to B-2. An excerpt from the City's Official Zoning Map showing the zoning districts surrounding the subject property is below: Excerpt from the Future Land Use Map — Future Vision 2030 Gomprehensive Plan Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 5 of 13 Proposed Development Plan The applicant is requesting site plan approval to construct a 19,387 square foot retail building on the east-central portion of the 2.38 gross acre site (approximately 2.04 net acres once the 80th Street right-of-way is subtracted). The existing two-story office building will be demolished and the existing parking lot will be removed. The proposed 75 parking spaces will be placed on the north, west, and south sides of the new building. The site will be graded to accommodate the construction of this new commercial building and to provide a stormwater basin on the property. The proposed stormwater basin will be located in the northwest corner of the site. A series of retaining walls ranging from one to nine feet in height will be constructed between the west parking lot and stormwater basin. Another retaining wall will be constructed above the top tier of existing retaining walls along the south side of the south parking lot. A fence is required along the upper level of any retaining wall that is four or higher. Because the property is within the Gateway District, the fence design is required to be a black-colored com- mercial strength welded steel panel. Existing fences in this area used black-colored Montage Commercial Majestic 3/4 - Rail Fence manufactured by Ameristar. The design and materials of any fencing on the subject property must match the specifications of the Montage Commercial Majestic 3/4 - Rail Fence. The illustrations below simulate the appearance of the site and retaining walls from Hardwood Avenue and 80th Street.

The public donation drive-thru drop-off is located on the east side of the build- ing. The drop-off is completely enclosed. Overhead doors will be installed on the north and south sides of the drop-off to allow motorists to exit onto Hardwood Court. The drop-off point adjoins the indoor warehouse area of the building. When the donation drop-off is closed, motor- ists must use the two-way access drive to exit the site. Commercial vehicles accessing the loading docks will enter the two-way access drive and back into the loading dock area located on the north side of the building. These vehicles will then exit out the west access drive onto Hardwood Court. A copy of the site plan is shown below.

The proposed building provides some visual articulation with the use of columns at the main building entrance. This visual articulation is enhanced through the use of storefront windows, a prefinished flush seam metal panel canopy above, decorative cornices, as well as a parapet wall. The parapet walls on all four sides of the building are accented with tan EIFS diamond accents. The store- front windows are bordered with anodized metal frames. The combination of brick, block, and exterior insulation finish system (EIFS) materials accent elements that are incorporated into the building's design provide visual interest to the building. The bottom half of the building is constructed of "misty grey" utility face brick and a"coral blend" utility brick upper half. The top portion of the building is constructed with a rusty-brown colored EIFS material.

The roof-top equipment might partially be visible from the higher elevations of the adjoining property to the east and from Oakwood Park. The single-story building is 20 feet in height across the south and east elevations. To pro- vide uniformity to the building's exterior, it is recommended that the EIFS — Color 1 material extend across the north, east, and south sides of the donation drop-off part of the building. Signage The applicant is proposing wall signage above the awning in the center of the south elevation (main entrance) of the building. Wall signs are permitted on elevations with street frontage, as well as above the main entrance. The proposed wall signage appears to comply with City code. A free-standing monument sign exists at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners of this site. The applicant is proposing to remove the monument sign near the northeast corner of the site and continue to use the two other monument signs. These monument signs were allowed on the property per the agreement between 1501 Properties and the City in 2003. These monument signs are on the applicant's property and belong to the property owner. The occu- pant of this new building is allowed to advertise on the two remaining monument signs and is responsible for their maintenance and utility costs. Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 10 of 13 Parking Twenty-five percent of the 19,387 square feet of gross floor area will be used for storing and processing donated materials. The donation drop-off center is 683 square feet. The balance of the floor area devoted to the sales floor, offices, mechanical room, and restrooms is approx- imately 13,532 square feet. City ordinance requires one parking space for each 200 square feet of retail space. This equates to 68 parking spaces. The site plan shows 75 parking spaces on the site. All parking spaces and drive aisle widths comply with city regulations. All the parking spaces and drive aisles will be hard surFaced with concrete curb and gutter along the perimeter of the parking lot. Each of the parking spaces will be striped to delineate each parking stall and handicap spaces. A bike rack is proposed at the southwest corner of the building. Loading and Refuse Area The loading dock and refuse container is located on the north side of the building. The green space between the 11 parking spaces north of the loading dock area and Hardwood Court will be densely planted with six-foot tall black hill spruce trees. The purpose of these conifer trees is to mitigate the public view of the loading dock area from Hardwood Court. The turning movement into the site and loading dock for a semi-tractor/trailer combination is sufficient to enter/exit the site and to back into the loading dock area. A trailer will periodically be parked at the loading dock to load and unload merchandise. The public drive-thru drop-off is located on the east side of the building. This drop-off enclosure will permit donated materials to be retrieved from the vehicle and will provide cover from incle- ment weather. During closed business hours, overhead doors on the south and north sides of the enclosure will be securely closed. Landscaping The minimum open space requirement is 20 percent of the net (minus the stormwater basin) land area. The proposed development plan provides 32 percent open space. The landscaping plan proposes the planting of 25 overstory deciduous trees, 23 conifer trees, 55 large shrubs, 55 small shrubs, and numerous perennials on the perimeter of the site. The proposed quantities meet the minimum landscaping requirements for plantings. Staff recommends that the landscaping plan be accepted as proposed. The landscaping plan is shown below: Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and Ryan Schroeder 1501 Partnership Planning Applications — Proposed Goodwill Project July 29, 2013 Page 11 of 13 �� ,,r.�_ ...�s r ��` v � _... ..� � ` -.�. ,�- ' �.:! °", a ,.r5.� � y `� ` �, � � _ ['F s' �' t - ..r� . !

Landscaping Plan Grading The existing retaining walls along 80th Street and east property line are not planned to be dis- turbed. The applicant's consulting engineer will be responsible in evaluating the stability of all existing retaining walls. If an existing retaining wall or portion of wall is determined to be un- stable or unsuitable, then that wall or portion of retaining wall must be reconstructed. Demolition of the existing two-story structure and parking lot is necessary for re-grading the site to accommodate the appropriate building pad elevation and creating an onsite stormwater basin. Because of the site's topography, additional retaining walls must be constructed to accommodate building, parking, and stormwater facilities. The applicant provided a drainage plan and stormwater calculations for this proposed develop- ment plan. The City's consulting engineer (Stantec) has provided general comments based on the applicant's development plan and stormwater calculations. A copy of their letter is attached. The stormwater basin will not be an infiltration basin of stormwater. For this reason, it will be necessary that a clay material must be deposited at the bottom of the basin to prohibit infiltra- tion. The property owner of this site will be responsible for the on-going maintenance of the basin. A document outlining the scope and frequency of maintenance for this basin must be submitted with the building permit application.

Passed this 14th day of August 2013. Myron Bailey, Mayor Attest: Caron M. Stransky, City Clerk EXCERPT FROM UNAPPROVED MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON JULY 22, 2013 6.3 Goodwill — Cases ZA13-024, SP13-025, CUP13-026 1501 Partnership has applied for a zoning amendment to change the zoning of the prop- erty at 7350 80th Street South from B-1, Limited Business, to B-2, Retail Business; a site plan review of a 19,387 square foot retail building; and a conditional use permit to allow a donation drop-off facility. McCool summarized the staff report and recommended approval of all the applications, based on the findings of fact and subject to the conditions stipulated in this staff report. John Johannson, Welsh Companies, 4350 Baker Road, Minnetonka, introduced Chris Simmons, one of his partners; Mr. Burnett, the property owner; Mike Brandt, an engineer with MFRA; and John Patterson, with Fendler & Patterson. Johannson stated that in general they found the staff report to be thorough and accurate and they agree to the conditions. He pointed out the western driveway onto Hardwood Court is a full access point; the other, which is lined up with the donation center, is intended to be a one-way exit only. The front entry faces south. The pond is new; when this property was developed, stormwater was not a large issue. Mr. Brandt has spent considerable time in discussions with the Watershed District, and they believe that the SWWD's conditions and requests for changes can be ac- commodated. They also are agreeable with the EFIS change. He noted that they are not asking for signage with these applications; that will be a separate permit. He believes that Goodwill will request a sign on the western side of the building so it is visible from the high- way interchange. The renderings in the application are not intended to represent all the signage, but they will comply with the City Code. Johannson asked if the proposed sidewalk along Hardwood Court would be installed within the right-of-way. McCool responded yes. Johannson stated that their adjusted drawings show the sidewalk going from the corner of Hardwood Avenue and Hardwood Court east to the end of their property line, and asked for clarification of the condition. McCool stated that the property line extends further east. It is about 20 feet short of the cul-de-sac of Hardwood Court. Staff's recommendation is to have the sidewalk all the way from Hardwood Avenue to the east end of their property. Johansson agreed to the sidewalk location. He pointed out that one of the conditions lists "Harkness" and asked if that should say "Hardwood." McCool responded yes and it will be changed. Johannson then provided background information on Goodwill. Brittain asked for more information on EFIS materials, including if the face would be uniform or appear to be brick, if the wall itself would have some sort of pattern on it, and is it a pre- fabricated wall or a solid flat shape with a color in it. John Patterson, Fendler & Patterson, 20341 Fairlawn Avenue, Prior Lake, explained that the building face is a combination of brick, block, EFIS, and a couple bands of natural stone. The building face jogs in and out to give it interest. It does not have a flat face and is not a prefabricated wall. Brittain asked if the EFIS areas are large sheets or a veneer material. Patterson responded that it is a veneer material on top of the concrete block. Brittain asked if the material comes in a brick size or is it a big sheet size they cut out. Patterson explained that EFIS is stucco; it has insulation and is troweled on for texture. Excerpt from Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes Goodwill — Cases ZA13-024, SP13-025, CUP13-026 July 22, 2013 Page 2 of 5 Rediske asked what the elevation difference is between the current hill and the proposed. Patterson explained that the hill will be graded down slightly. Rediske asked if there is a de- mand in Cottage Grove for a Goodwill or thrift store. Patterson responded that the board determines which cities they feel a Goodwill store should be located in. Cottage Grove has been a target for a number of years. Rediske asked what the demographics of the Goodwill market are and will this one be similar to the Woodbury store. Patterson answered that all their stores are the same. They get new and semi-used products. Rediske stated that she is concerned about a Goodwill store being located on a focal point in the City and then deteri- orating into one of the older Goodwills. Patterson responded that Goodwill has a new image and the buildings that were built in the last eight or nine years are well kept and very clean. Their leases generally are 10 years with a couple five year options, and the buildings are de- signed for re-use. Johannson stated that the costs of new development are significant. Goodwill has recently expanded to Maple Grove, Woodbury, St. Louis Park, and Edina. The merchandise in their stores is reflective of the community. Their recent growth has been in productive second ring suburbs with a responsible, desirable demographic. They have had numerous requests from consumers to come to Cottage Grove. They also do research on where they could locate a store. Rediske asked if there are any statistics on what percentage of the Woodbury store's customers are from Cottage Grove. Johannson stated that he try to find that information. Rediske asked if there would be room on the site for additional busi- nesses. McCool responded only for the proposed building. Rediske asked if there would be a sidewalk from the new building to the neighboring commercial building. McCool responded if the adjoining property owner agrees, stafF would add a requirement that a sidewalk connect to the parking area of the adjoining property. Brittain asked about the grade between the two parking lots. McCool responded it is about three feet, but there is a 20-foot span of green space between. Harter asked if they are changing the image of Goodwill to make it more like a Savers. Johannson responded that in the retail industry Goodwill has become a desirable user and tenant. It is a use that other retailers respect; they don't run from Goodwill. Goodwill runs a first-class operation and their stores reflect the community. They are a professional retailer whose board of directors are executives with other retailers. Rostad opened the public hearing. No one spoke. Rostad closed the public hearing. Rostad asked for details on the retaining walls. McCool responded that they will look at the existing walls to make sure they are structurally sound. Johannson stated that they are going to look at the walls and make any necessary repairs. They will also refresh and maintain the landscaping on the site. They would like to either paint or screen the large transformer on the corner. Rediske made a motion to recommend approval of the zoning amendment based on the findings listed below. Harter seconded. Findinps of Fact: A. The purpose statement for the B-2 District accurately describes the best land use for this corner lot. Excerpt from Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes Goodwill — Cases ZA13-024, SP13-025, CUP13-026 July 22, 2013 Page 3 of 5 B. The B-2 zoning classification currently surrounds the subject property. C. The subject property is on the northeast corner of Hardwood Avenue and 80th Street, both with a minor arterial roadway functional classification. Motion passed unanimously (7-to-0 vote), Rediske asked if the motions are passed tonight, will she receive a response to her question regarding the number of Cottage Grove residents shopping at the Woodbury store. McCool replied that staff will follow up on those questions for the Commission. Rediske asked if they had looked at alternative locations in the City. Johannson responded that they looked at the Home Depot parcel, the area by Target, and the new development by the Walmart. They decided they preferred the 80th Street trade area. Brittain made a motion to recommend approval of the site plan review of the retail building and conditional use permit for a donation drop-off facility, subject to the conditions listed below. Pearson seconded. 1.
