Budget Implication N/A Attachments  Council Memo  Resolution No. 2016-XXX  Excerpt from the unapproved Planning Commission minutes – June 27, 2016 meeting  Revised Site Plan  Traffic Analysis by Bolton & Menk  Memorandum from Ryan Burfeind dated 6/22/16 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Charlene Stevens, City Administrator FROM: John McCool, Senior Planner DATE: July 13, 2016 RE: Hy-Vee, Inc. – Revised Variance, Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit, and Interim Conditional Use Permit Applications for Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel / Convenience Store Project Proposal Hy-Vee, Inc. is proposing to redevelop the former Rainbow Foods property and the Merchants Bank site at 7200 East Point Douglas Road that they recently purchased. Hy-Vee now proposes to raze the Merchants Bank building to construct a motor fuel station that has 16 fuel pumping stations (eight gas pump islands) and a 4,500 square foot convenience store. Similar to Hy- Vee’s original redevelopment plan as approved on October 7, 2015, they still propose to demolish that part of the Grove Plaza Shopping Center that was once occupied by American Motor Sports Bar & Grill, Rainbow Foods, and the former Bingo Hall. Hy-Vee, Inc. has filed a revised site plan, variance, and conditional use permit applications with the City for this project. The revised re- development plan is summarized below: Original Re-development Plan Revised Re-development Plan Motor fuel station canopy 25 ft. x 136 ft. (3,400 sq. ft.) 48 ft. x 130 ft. (6,240 sq. ft.) Number of gas pump islands/pumping stations 5/10 8/16 Motor fuel convenience store 3,100 sq. ft. 4,500 sq. ft. Total number of parking spaces 467 spaces 516 spaces Outdoor seating area for restaurant 40 40 Wind turbines 2 2 Hy-Vee Store 92,800 sq. ft. 95,700 sq. ft. Gross land area 9.5 acres 10.6 acres The Hy-Vee grocery store will still include a pharmacy, restaurant with liquor license, banking, off-sale liquor retail, outdoor garden center, and off-street parking spaces. The conditional use permit will also be for the following uses: a. Restaurant with on-sale liquor (160 indoor seating capacity) b. Drive-through lanes for grocery and pharmacy pick-ups c. Comprehensive sign plan for the overall site development d. Motor fuel/convenience store with outdoor displays e. Outdoor display in front of the grocery store f. Vertical designed wind turbines City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 2 of 23 A variance to the City’s minimum parking setbacks, minimum landscaping regulations, and out- door temporary/seasonal sales will not change from the City’s original approvals, but additional variances must be granted for the minimum landscaping regulations and minimum parking set- backs for the relocated motor fuel station. No changes are proposed for the interim conditional use permit that was approved by the City on October 7, 2015 for the seasonal garden center. This proposed interim use will have a 2,000 square foot plastic shell over a hoop-framed temporary structure that is proposed to be placed in the westerly corner of the proposed Hy-Vee site between April 1 and July 1 of each year. The proposed Hy-Vee grocery store is located at 7280 East Point Douglas Road and the motor fuel station is at 7200 East Point Douglas Road. A location map for this proposed redevelop- ment project is shown below. Site Location Map Review Process Application Received: June 2, 2016 Acceptance of Completed Application: June 2, 2016 Tentative City Council Date: July 20, 2016 60-day Review Deadline: August 1, 2016 Planning Commission The Planning Commission reviewed the five planning applications and held a public hearing at their regular meeting on June 27, 2016. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 3 of 23 The public hearing was open for public comment. No testimony was received against any of the planning applications. The applicant was present at the meeting and agreed to the conditions approving the planning applications. The applicant did state that only two vertical wind turbines will be in Hy-Vee’s parking lot, not three as shown on their site plan, and requested that the in- terim conditional use permit for the seasonal outdoor garden center be permitted from April 1 to July 1 instead of May 1 to July 1. The applicant also reported that Hy-Vee will continue to work with the residential property owner near Hy-Vee’s southeast corner to ensure the new privacy fencing and landscaping is acceptable. The Planning Commission unanimously (8-to-0 vote) recommended that the City Council ap- prove all five planning applications submitted by Hy-Vee, subject to the 79 conditions in the planning staff report, correcting the approval for two vertical wind turbines and allowing the in- terim conditional use permit for the seasonal outdoor garden center to operate from May 1 to July 1. A copy of the unapproved Planning Commission minutes is attached. Land Use The “commercial” land use designation on the 2030 Future Land Use map in the Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan for the Grove Plaza Shopping Center is not anticipated to change for future Comprehensive Plan updates. Hy-Vee’s proposed re-development plan is consistent with the approved Comprehensive Plan. An excerpt from the Future Land Use map in the Future Vi- sion 2030 Comprehensive Plan is shown below. The area highlighted in yellow is the site of the Grove Plaza Shopping Center, which is designated as a “commercial” land use. Zoning Hy-Vee’s property is zoned B-2, Retail Business District. This zoning classification is consistent with the adopted Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Hy-Vee’s proposed land uses are allowed within the B-2 zoning district. An excerpt from the Official Zoning Map for the Hy-Vee property (outlined in yellow) is shown below. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 4 of 23 Excerpt from the Official Zoning Map Site Plan Hy-Vee purchased the Merchants Bank property (7200 East Point Douglas Road) and has modified their proposed redevelopment plan. In addition to Hy-Vee’s original redevelopment plan as approved on October 7, 2015, they still propose to demolish that part of the Grove Plaza Shop- ping Center that was once occupied by American Motor Sports Bar & Grill, Rainbow Foods, and the former Bingo Hall. The Merchants Bank building is now also proposed to be razed. Hy-Vee proposes to construct a motor fuel station and convenience store at the former Merchants Bank location. A summary of their proposed revisions to their redevelopment plan is highlighted below. Original Redevelopment Plan Revised Redevelopment Plan Motor fuel station canopy 25 ft. x 136 ft. (3,400 sq. ft.) 48 ft. x 130 ft. (6,240 sq. ft.) Number of gas pump islands/pumping stations 5/10 8/16 Motor fuel convenience store 3,100 sq. ft. 4,500 sq. ft. Total number of parking spaces 467 spaces 516 spaces Outdoor seating area for restaurant 40 40 Wind turbines 2 2 Hy-Vee Store 92,800 sq. ft. 95,700 sq. ft. Gross Land Area 9.5 acres 10.6 acres The existing stormwater drainage basin in the west corner of Hy-Vee’s site will still be filled-in and a new underground storage system will be installed under Hy-Vee’s parking lot. All of the impervious parking and drive aisles and most of the green space/landscaped areas will be reconstructed. The grocery store increased from 92,800 square feet to 95,700 square feet and the interior floor plan has been modified. The building’s interior will still have a pharmacy, bank, off-sale retail liquor store, and a Class 1 restaurant with approximately 160 indoor seats that will have an on- sale liquor license. Hy-Vee still proposes an outdoor restaurant seating area with approximately 40 seats. Instead of this outdoor seating area at the northwest corner of the building, it is now proposed to be at the northeast corner of the building. The two drive-through lanes for grocery pick-up and phar- City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 5 of 23 macy service were moved to the west side of the building. The parking area along the west side of the building was reduced from 58 parking spaces to 15 spaces. An outdoor food kiosk that will occasionally sell specialty food items will still be near the front entrance of the building. An outdoor garden center with a temporary greenhouse and fenced display area will be placed in the westerly corner of their parking lot from April 1 to July 1. The greenhouse and supporting sales area will be permitted to temporarily displace up to 50 parking stalls. These ancillary retail uses were not changed from the City’s original approval of Hy-Vee’s development plan in October 2015. The 3,100 square foot motor fuel station and five motor fuel pump islands were originally pro- posed in Hy-Vee’s front parking lot. Now that Hy-Vee has purchased the Merchants Bank prop- erty, they are proposing to construct a 4,500 square foot motor fuel station with eight motor fuel pump islands (16 gas pumping stations) in the northeast corner of their now 10.6-acre site. Fourteen parking spaces are proposed along the front side of the convenience store. Hy-Vee’s revised site plan is shown below: City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 6 of 23 Hy-Vee has included a pedestrian sidewalk along the west side of the Grove Plaza Shopping Center’s main motor vehicle access drive, from East Point Douglas Road and their sidewalk on along the front of their new store. Additional parking spaces were added to their overall site. The trash compactor is now at the southwest corner of the store versus the southeast corner. The parking area along Hy-Vee’s south property line that is directly south of their proposed new store were eliminated from their site plan. A retaining wall two feet in height is proposed west of the pharmacy and grocery pick-up lanes that are now located on the west side of the grocery store. A larger retaining wall having a maximum height of 6.34 feet is proposed along Hy-Vee’s south property line. All other parking and building setbacks are nearly the same as originally proposed. The paved access drive along the north side of the proposed motor fuel station and fuel canopy will be 10 feet from their north property boundary line as compared to the approxi- mately 32 feet that currently exists for Merchants Bank. Hy-Vee has said that they do not intend to construct this access drive at this time since they do not have a tenant in the north third of their convenience store. Zoning development standards (building and parking minimum setbacks) for property in the B-2 District and the setbacks proposed by the applicant are summarized below. B-2 DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED PROPOSED STANDARDS That portion of existing eight foot tall Whenever a B-2 retail business district privacy fence from Harkness Road abuts an R district, a screen not less along Hy-Vee’s south property line will than 50% opaque nor less than 6 ft. in be replaced and a group of scotch pine height shall be erected and maintained and black hill spruce trees will be Screening along the side or rear property line that planted northwest of the residential abuts the residential district, except property at 8200 Harkness Road. adjacent to a street, where it shall be Plantings will also be planted below and not less than 3 ft. nor more than 4 ft. in above the retaining wall along Hy-Vee’s height south property line that is south of Hy- Vee’s store. 35 ft., except buildings over 35 ft. shall Maximum building height 34 ft. be subject to receiving a CUP. 35 ft. = Motor Fuel Canopy Minimum building front yard 30 ft. 30 ft. = Convenience Retail Store 430 ft. = Grocery Retail Store Minimum side yard, interior lot 10 ft.

Park Dedication Land dedication for public park purposes or park fees in lieu of land dedication will not be col- lected for this re-development project. Area Charges Water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater assessment area charges were previously paid with the initial development of the Grove Plaza Shopping Center. Architecture The exterior finishes and design for the proposed new commercial structures are the same as proposed last fall. The exterior building materials for the grocery retail store and convenience retail store still have similar architectural design and matching exterior building materials that comply with the minimum Class 1 and 2 building materials coverage requirements. As required last fall, the exterior building materials along the west and south sides of the Hy-Vee building are required to include additional brick materials. Painting a brick color that matches the brick front is not acceptable. The building elevations approved last fall are shown below. Rear Elevation (south side) Side Elevation Facing McDonald’s Restaurant (west side) City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 8 of 23 The photographs below illustrate the design of the Hy-Vee Store proposed in Cottage Grove. Hy-Vee’s Proposed Architectural Design Hy-Vee’s Proposed Architectural Design The building’s exterior elevations for both commercial structures are attached and shown below.

The face of the motor fuel canopy must be only one solid color. A logo may be placed on two of the four sides of the canopy, but each logo must not be greater than ten square feet. The new exterior wall on the west side of the remaining 17,010 square foot retail building will be required to be constructed of Class 1 materials. The brick material on the front and the first 20 feet on the side of the building (except for windows) will match the brick color and style of brick that exists at the adjoining Sports Clips tenant space. Along the foundation of the building will be a split face concrete masonry unit (CMU) that will also match the concrete block material on the front of the adjoining Sports Clips. The majority of the exterior wall will be an exterior insulation finish system (EFIS) that will match the color and texture on the front of the adjoining store front that was once the location of the Hallmark store. The architectural details of this exterior wall are attached and shown below. Building Elevation for the Side Exterior Wall for the 17,010 Square Foot Retail Center City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 11 of 23 Building Elevation for the Front Entrance of the 17,010 Square Foot Retail Center Transportation/Access There are four existing access drives that provide motor vehicle access to and from the Grove Plaza Shopping Center. One of these access drives is located between Merchants Bank and the Noodles & Company/AT&T/Chipotle building properties. This access drive is right-turn in/right- turn out. No changes will be made at this access drive. The main access drive into the shopping center site is located at the existing traffic signal inter- section on East Point Douglas Road (west of Merchants Bank). This intersection provides full turning movements for all motorists. A traffic analysis was prepared by Bolton & Menk in June 2016. The analysis evaluated the level of service, trips generated by the proposed development scenarios, and traffic patterns for this area. Bolton & Menk’s Traffic Analysis is attached to this planning staff report. Located approximately 95 feet south of the Grove Plaza and East Point Douglas Road traffic signal is an access drive into Hy-Vee’s grocery store parking lot and into the motor fuel station site. Both access drives are across from each other and are too close to East Point Douglas Road. Based on the proposed site improvements and potential future improvements, backups between 80th Street and Grove Plaza may be prevalent for westbound traffic on East Point Douglas Road at the Grove Plaza entrance because the gas station access on the private ac- cess drive entering/exiting Grove Plaza is too close to East Point Douglas Road. A vehicle en- tering the site from East Point Douglas Road and making a left-turn at the gas station access will be blocked most of the time by vehicles exiting the site. The gas station access and Hy- Vee’s parking lot access south of East Point Douglas Road as proposed must be relocated to the south. Other improvements recommended in the traffic analysis are: 1. The curb radius on the easterly corner of the Grove Plaza and East Point Douglas Road in- tersection is modified to provide a larger radius for trucks exiting the Grove Plaza site at this intersection. 2. A dual left-turn lane is provided for northbound traffic on East Point Douglas Road at the 80th Street/Hardwood Avenue/East Point Douglas Road intersection. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 12 of 23 3. Adding a southbound dual left-turn on East Point Douglas Road and providing a two-lane en- trance into the Grove Plaza site at the Grove Plaza main entrance and East Point Douglas Road intersection. 4. All other lane reassignments, traffic signal revisions, and roadway improvements as outlined in Bolton & Menk’s Traffic Analysis dated June 22, 2016 are completed. The City Engineer continues to work with the applicant’s consultants to make the necessary changes to their site plan for this change. Two access drives exist on East Point Douglas Road that adjoin the southwest property bound- ary line for the grocery retail site. The southerly access will be shifted 115 feet to the southeast. This access drive will primarily be used for truck deliveries to the rear area of the businesses proposed in the shopping center. This will also result in relocating the existing access drive in the northwest corner of ISD 833’s property approximately 60 feet to the southeast. Below is a drawing showing the access drive modifications. Proposed Access Drive Modifications All property owners and business owners within the Grove Plaza Shopping Center share the same private access drives, parking lanes, and off-site parking to access various business sites that are internal to the Grove Plaza Shopping Center. An agreement amongst all business own- ers has been executed to ensure various property ownerships and businesses maintain appro- City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 13 of 23 priate accessibility and off-site parking privileges. This agreement includes details of each property owner’s maintenance responsibilities for snow removal, parking surface repairs, seal- coating, re-striping parking spaces and designated fire lanes, landscape maintenance, etc. Truck Deliveries Trucks will deliver general merchandise, frozen/dairy/deli products, dry grocery goods, meat and produce, and seasonal merchandise to the Hy-Vee store from the new driveway access across from McDonald’s restaurant. Two loading docks with two truck loading berths each are located on the south side of the grocery store. The distance between the closest loading dock and the closest residential dwelling is approximately 210 feet. The distance between the southeast cor- ner of Hy-Vee’s store and the closest residential dwelling is approximately 131 feet. These dis- tances are about the same as the revised site plan approved by the City in October 2015. Trucks delivering fuel to Hy-Vee’s motor fuel station will enter at the Grove Plaza Shopping Cen- ter’s main access drive from East Point Douglas Road. As described in the Traffic Analysis, the fuel tanker truck would need to make the left turn from the southbound right-turn lane to not im- pact any existing traffic. A southbound dual left, two-lane access entrance, and closing the motor fuel station’s access drive closest to East Point Douglas Road would improve the safety. Outdoor Lighting Outdoor light fixtures will consist of wall units on the building’s exterior walls and parking lot light poles that are 30 feet in height. The light luminaire will be LED lighting. The level of lighting will meet the needs for security and safety and will not detract from the aesthetics of the develop- ment. The outdoor light fixtures are designed and mounted to prevent unnecessary glare onto adjacent properties. City ordinance limits the amount of light that can be emitted from commer- cial property. When commercial property abuts residential properties, this limitation must not ex- ceed 0.5 foot candlepower. Commercial development adjoining other commercial properties has a 1.0 foot candlepower limitation. Measuring this light source is taken at the property boundary line. A photometric plan showing the calculated candlepower throughout the site showing compliance with the City ordinance will be required to be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit. Fencing The only fencing that currently exists on the subject property is a wooden privacy fence located in the southeast corner of Hy-Vee’s site. The condition of this existing fence is weathered and it is evident that it has been repaired numerous times. Because of the proposed site improve- ments in this area north of the adjoining residential property, it is required that the privacy fence be replaced with a low maintenance fence material that is eight feet in height. As noted on the applicant’s landscaping plan dated May 2, 2016, the existing privacy fence along the north side of the residential property at 8200 Harkness Road will be replaced and extend to the west along the retaining wall that is located in the southeast corner of Hy-Vee’s property with an eight-foot tall composite wood fence that is a weathered brown or woodland brown color. The fence de- sign, material type, and color must be approved by the Community Development Department before it is installed. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 14 of 23 Parking The minimum required parking spaces and the number of proposed parking spaces for the motor fuel station, 4,500 square foot convenience store, 95,700 square foot retail grocery store (includes the pharmacy, bank, off-sale liquor, Class 1 restaurant with on-sale liquor license, and floral shop) are shown in the table below. GROSS FLOOR PROPOSED NO. OF PROPOSED LAND USE MINIMUM ORD. REQUIREMENTS AREA PARKING SPACES 431 parking spaces (4.5 spaces per Hy-Vee Grocery Store 95,700 sq. ft. 486 parking spaces 1,000 sq. ft. of gfa) 4,500 sq. ft. Hy-Vee Convenience Store 23 parking spaces 30 parking spaces 16 fueling stations The total number of proposed parking spaces within the Grove Plaza Shopping Center should adequately serve the business hours of all the businesses in this commer- cial center. An agreement amongst all the property own- ers within the shopping center is required to ensure various property ownerships maintain appropriate accessibility and off-site parking privileges. The off-street parking stalls and access drives are laid out to accommodate standard sized 60 and 90 degree diagonal parking spaces. Grocery cart return corrals will be placed interior to the parking lot area and will typically be the size of a parking stall. The ex- act location and number of cart corals is not know at this time. The photo at right shows what the cart return corrals will look like. Cart corrals in previous development reviews by the City have not detracted from the parking stall count calculation. Utilities The property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and is currently adequately served by public utilities. Some of the existing public utilities, drainageways, and surface water storage areas will be mod- ified on the project site. All the existing drainage and utility easements shown on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Grove Plaza 2nd Addition (with the exception of the easements on the Merchants Bank parcel) were vacated and discontinued at a public hearing held the City Council on October 7, 2015. All required easements were shown on the Grove Plaza 3rd Addition final plat, which was approved by the City Council on March 16, 2016 (Res. No. 2016-048). Hy-Vee’s utility plan is attached to this planning staff report and is shown below. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 15 of 23 Proposed Utility Plan Grading The parking, landscaped areas, and existing stormwater basin on Lot 1, Block 1, Grove Plaza 2nd Addition will be removed. The entire Hy-Vee site and the northern portion of ISD 833’s site will be re-graded. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System II (NPDES) permit will be required. The grad- ing plan must be approved by the City Engineer before a building permit is issued by the City. The grading and erosion control plan for the site must comply with NPDES II Permit require- ments. Erosion control devices must be installed prior to commencement of any grading activity and a pre-construction meeting held before site work begins. Erosion control must be performed in accordance with the recommended practices of the "Minnesota Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning handbook" and the conditions stipulated in the resolution adopted by the City Council. Surface Water Management In order to accommodate the new site design, the surface water management for the Grove Plaza Shopping Center site will be completely reconfigured. The stormwater basin on the west side of the Hy-Vee site will be replaced with a Storm Tech underground storage and infiltration piping system by ADS. The existing stormwater pond only treats approximately half of the stormwater from the redevelopment site, with the remainder draining directly into the Hamlet City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 16 of 23 Park Regional Pond. The proposed Storm Tech underground system will be sized to retain the first one inch of runoff from all impervious areas in the redevelopment site, before out letting to the Hamlet Park Regional Pond. This system is comprised of a series of chambers that retain the stormwater runoff, allowing it to infiltrate into the soil. The picture at right depicts chambers during installation. This system will be designed to the meet the stormwater management requirements set by the City of Cottage Grove, South Washington Watershed District, and the NPDES Construc- tion Stormwater Permit. Part of the design of this system is to allow for ease of maintenance and to ensure the system continues to function as intended. The first row of underground chambers is referred to as the “isolator row”, which pretreats the water and captures debris from the stormwater runoff. Access to the isola- tor row is provided by manholes, which allow for removal of the captured debris. This system will be privately owned and maintained by the landowners within the Grove Plaza Shopping Center. A stormwater management agreement clarifying and perpetuating this maintenance responsibility agreement shall be recorded with Washington County. This system is the same design as approved by the City Council on October 7, 2015. Landscaping Plan and Tree Preservation The minimum landscaping required on the Hy-Vee site is based on the acreage of the property. Based on the ordinance regulations, a minimum of 249 deciduous and conifer trees and 554 shrubs are required to be planted onsite. The applicant is proposing to plant ten blackhills spruce trees that are 12 feet in height. The ordinance requires a minimum height of six feet. Hy- Vee is proposing to plant 206 trees and 560 shrubs. Because the 25 percent minimum green space is not provided, there is no green space available to plant more plant materials. The eight percent minimum green space interior to the parking lot is in compliance. The overall green space proposed in Hy-Vee’s redevelopment plan is about the same as the existing conditions. Additional landscaping of deciduous trees, ornamental trees, conifer trees, and a mix of shrubs will be planted along Hy-Vee’s south property line. Conifer trees will be clustered in the south- east corner of Hy-Vee’s site to provide additional screening between the residential and com- mercial properties. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 17 of 23 Privacy Fencing and Dense Planting of Confer Trees The typical interior landscape island design within the parking lot will include a drip irrigation system, one deciduous tree, and a variety of shrubs, grasses, hardwood mulch, and perennial plantings. Landscaping on the site is required to be irrigated and all dead plantings must be replaced. The photo below shows the typical landscaping in the parking lot landscape islands. Typical Landscape Design for Interior Landscaped Islands Restaurant with On-sale Liquor – Conditional Use Permit The Zoning Ordinance requires restaurants with an on-sale liquor license to obtain a conditional use permit. The applicant is proposing a restaurant that will have approximately 3,600 square feet inside their 95,700 square foot building. Approximately 160 seats will be provided. An out- door patio area of 35 to 45 seats is proposed at the northeast corner of the retail store building. Originally, the outdoor seating area was proposed to be at the northwest corner of Hy-Vee’s building. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 18 of 23 Because of the on-sale liquor license, a fence is required around the perimeter of the outdoor patio. The fencing material must be black in color and be constructed of a wrought iron design that match the specifications of the Montage Commercial Majestic 3/4 - Rail Fence. An on-sale liquor license must be issued by the City Clerk. The performance standards outlined in Title 11- 10D-8, Outdoor Seating or Dining, must be complied with. The conditional use permit for on-sale liquor is recommended to be approved, subject to the City Clerk issuing the on-sale liquor license and compliance with all the ordinance regulations. Drive-through Pharmacy and Grocery Pick-up – Conditional Use Permit On October 7, 2015, the City approved Hy-Vee’s site plan showing the grocery pick- up/pharmacy service lanes and canopy structure at the northeast corner of Hy-Vee’s grocery store. The pneumatic tube system will still deliver pharmaceutical prescriptions to customers in the drive-up lane. The revised site plan now proposes the pick-up/canopy to be on the west side of Hy-Vee’s building. The illustration below shows the location for outdoor seating, two wind turbines, and the pick-up area. Pharmacy and Grocery Pick-up Area City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 19 of 23 Signage – Conditional Use Permit As permitted by City ordinance, a comprehensive sign package is requested for this project. This allows developers and the City to customize a sign package that is relevant to the scope and scale of a project and allows for sufficient advertising that is still in conformance with the purpose and intent of the City’s sign ordinance. The property currently has one free-standing sign. It is non- conforming with current ordinance regulations because it was constructed decades ago and it does not meet today’s regula- tions. The non-conformity pertains to the height of the sign and total square footage of the sign display area. The maximum size for pylon signs in the B-2 District is 35 square feet and the maximum height is 15 feet. A photo of this existing pylon sign is shown at right. A second free-standing sign is not shown on Hy-Vee’s revised development plan. It is anticipated that a monument sign for the motor fuel station displaying gas prices will likely be pro- posed near the motor fuel station. City ordinance regulations do allow for the submittal of a comprehensive sign plan for the City Council’s consideration. As a condition of approval to allow a second free-standing sign on Hy-Vee’s property, it is re- quired that the motor fuel station and convenience store sign be a monument sign that is less than ten feet in height and less than 50 square feet in area. If the monument sign includes a dy- namic display, the regulations in City Code Title 9-8-4(I), Dynamic Display Signs, must be com- plied with. Off-premise advertising shall also be permitted on the Gateway North monument sign in the southeast corner of East Point Douglas Road and 80th Street, subject to written per- mission from the sign owner. Wall signage shall conform to the signage shown on the building elevations. Separate sign permits will be required for sign installation. Motor Fuel and Convenience Store – Conditional Use Permit The construction of a motor fuel station and 4,500 square foot convenience retail store will be on the same parcel of land as the proposed 95,700 square foot grocery store. The motor fuel sta- tion is located in the general location of the current Merchants Bank, which will be razed. A 6,144 square foot canopy 19.6 feet in height is proposed above the eight pump islands (16 fuel dispensing stations) that will be west of the convenience store. The bulk fuel tanks will be placed underground on the southwest side of the canopy. The performance standards for motor fuel station requires a minimum 20-foot landscaped area between the property line and motor fuel stations, including drive-aisles and parking. It appears there will only be 10 feet of green space from the north property line that abuts East Point Doug- las Road and the curb line for the parking are in front of the convenience store. If the drive-up lane along the east and north sides of the convenience store is constructed, the curbing in the northeast corner of the convenience store site will only be approximately five feet from the shared private access drive curb. Hy-Vee is not proposing to construct this drive-up lane at this time because a tenant has not been selected. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 20 of 23 A free-standing sign is likely to be proposed for Hy-Vee’s motor fuel station. City ordinance regulations do permit a second freestanding sign as part of a comprehensive sign plan for the entire site. If a second freestanding sign is proposed, it must be a monument sign that is less than ten feet in height and not larger than 50 square feet in area. The Zoning Ordinance regulations in City Code Title 11-10D-5, Outdoor Temporary/Seasonal Sales, must be complied with for the motor fuel station and convenience store. Display and/or storage of merchandise, propane, firewood, ice machines, and similar devices are prohibited along the north, south, and east sides of the convenience store and prohibited on fuel station pump islands. Wind Turbines – Conditional Use Permit Two vertical designed wind turbines are proposed in the front (north) parking lot for the grocery retail store. These turbines will supply electricity for a couple parking lot lights and four vehicle charging stations. The vertically designed turbines will not exceed 33 inches in height and will be mounted on the 30-foot high parking lot light standards. An example of these small wind turbines is shown below. Power Loading Dock Illustration Wind Turbine Examples Development Standards – Variances A variance request has been made to the City’s minimum parking setbacks, minimum landscaping regulations, and outdoor temporary/seasonal sales display. The overall building and parking setbacks for the motor fuel canopy, convenience store, and grocery retail store comply with the minimum setback requirements, except for the 30-foot mini- mum side and rear yard setback for parking (including drive aisles) adjacent to a residential zoning district and from a street right-of-way line. Because of the shopping center’s shared ac- cesses and parking, the 10-foot minimum setback from an interior lot line does not apply. The illustration below shows the areas where minimum parking setbacks are not complied with. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 21 of 23 Parking Setback Variance Locations The existing curbing in the southeast corner of Hy-Vee’s parcel currently does not meet the 30- foot minimum setback, but it has existed at its current location for many years. The developer does not propose to move the impervious drive aisle any closer to the neighboring residential property owner’s north property line. The applicant is proposing to plant eight scotch pines and three blackhills spruce trees (six foot tree height) on the north side of the residential property and ten blackhills spruce trees (12 foot tree height) on the west side of the abutting residential property. All the landscaping along the west side of Hy-Vee’s proposed building and parking area closest to East Point Douglas Road will be removed. The by-pass lane around the canopy/pick-up lanes on the west side of the grocery store will be approximately 18 feet from the west property line. A retaining wall approximately two feet in height will be constructed on the west side of the by- pass lane at the pick-up area. A variance to the 30-foot minimum parking setback requirement must be granted by the City. The impervious drive aisle and parking spaces along Hy-Vee’s north property line currently has a setback of approximately 15 feet. The applicant is not proposing to construct their parking and drive aisle any closer than this 15-foot setback; a 30-foot minimum setback is required for all the new parking and drive aisles that are within 30 feet of the north property line. A variance to this minimum parking setback must be granted for the proposed additional parking and drive aisle for that area serving the motor fuel station. The outdoor display of merchandise other than the proposed seasonal garden center and the motor fuel station is proposed be along the north side of the grocery store building. The appli- cant is proposing more than 150 square feet to display a variety of merchandise and seasonal City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 22 of 23 products along the building’s front wall, not including the food kiosk that will be used during spe- cial promotional events. A permit from the Washington County Department of Health is required for the food stand outside the grocery store. Ordinance regulations limit the amount of outdoor display to be not greater than five feet from the building’s wall and a maximum area of 30 percent of the building’s width, but not to exceed 150 square feet of total area. If a variance is granted to the ordinance regulations in City Code Title 11-10D-5, Outdoor Temporary/Seasonal Sales, it is recommended that the amount of out- door display and/or storage is permitted only on the front (north) side of the grocery store build- ing, between the entrance/exit doorways. In addition, a minimum of four feet must still be preserved as an ADA accessible public walkway that does not encroach into the access lane for motorists or the grocery pick-up lane. This condition does not apply to the motor fuel station/ convenience store. The Planning Commission and City Council may recommend a variance from the strict applica- tion of ordinance requirements, if they find that: 1. The variance is in harmony with the purposes and intent of this title. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The proposal puts the property to a reasonable use. 4. There are unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner. 5. That the conditions upon which an application for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. 6. That the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a financial hardship. 7. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located. 8. That the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. On September 28, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council the ap- proval of the variances to the minimum parking setback and minimum landscaping require- ments. On October 7, 2015, the City Council granted both variances for the Hy-Vee property that was not part of the Merchants Bank property. Now that the Merchants Bank property has been incorporated with the Hy-Vee property, variances to the minimum parking setback and minimum landscaping requirements must be granted by the City for that area of Hy-Vee’s project. The findings of facts supporting the aforementioned variances also apply to the former Merchant Bank property. Public Hearing Notices The public hearing notice for the June 27, 2016, Planning Commission meeting was published in the South Washington County Bulletin and mailed to 45 adjacent property owners within 500 feet of the proposed project on June15, 2016. To date, no written comments have been received. City Council Memorandum Hy-Vee, Inc. – Retail Grocery and Motor Fuel/Convenience Store October 2, 2015 Page 23 of 23 City Department and/or Advisory Commission Comments The City’s Technical Review Committee met on June 8.

Background A proposed development for a HyVee grocery store and adjacent outbuildings including retail, gas station, and drive-thru coffee shop are proposed to be located on the southeast quadrant of 80' Street and East Point Douglas Road, on the former Rainbow Foods site. Additionally, there is potential proposed commercial retail development and a medical center on the former Home Depot site, just north of HyVee, also on the southeast corner of 80"' Street and East Point Douglas Road. Both properties are primarily accessed off of the north -south portion of East Point Douglas Road at Grove Plaza, a signalized intersection. There is also a minor access on the portion of East Point Douglas Road adjacent to TH 61. II. Traffic Data AM and PM Peak hour traffic counts were completed at the four intersections along East Point Douglas Road from 80" Street to the all -way stop adjacent to the McDonalds access. Counts were collected from 4:30 to 6:00 pm the week of June 1301, 2016. Based on the proposed uses, the PM peak hour was anticipated to be the peak hour traffic of the day. III. Measure of Effectiveness Measures of effectiveness display quantitative information about the performance of an intersection or network of intersections. The primary measures that are used in this study are level of service and delay. Level of Service The operational analysis results are described as a Level of Service (LOS) ranging from A to F. These letters serve to describe a range of operating conditions for different types of facilities. Levels of Service are calculated based on the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual, which base the level of service on control LAConage Grove\HyVee Memot2016-06-22_HyVee Memo.docx DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer ��N 6 m�C m x , delay. Control delay is the delay experienced by vehicles slowing down as they are approaching the intersection, the wait time at the intersection, and the time for the vehicle to speed up through the intersection and enter into the traffic stream. The average intersection control delay is a volume weighted average of delay experienced by all motorists entering the intersection on all intersection approaches for signalized and roundabout intersections. Level of Service D to E is commonly taken as an acceptable design year LOS with LOS C to D for current year as acceptable. The level of service and its associated intersection delay for an unsignalized intersection is presented below. Table 1: Lepel ofSemice Criteria IV. Trip Generation and Traffic Forecast Trips generated by the proposed development were determined using the Trip Generation Manual, 81' Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2008 based on the following building sizes and uses: • HyVee (95,700 s.f.) • Retail/Shopping Center (17,010 s.f.) • Gas Station (16 fueling positions) • Coffee/Donut Shop with Drive -Through Window (2,250 s.f.) — back half side of gas station • Retail/Shopping Center (84,000 s.f.): Former Home Depot Site • Medical/Dental Office Building (1,200 s.f.): Former Home Depot Site The ITE trips were reduced by 50% for the retail shopping centers and gas station to account for both pass -by and multiple use trips. The new trips were distributed based on existing traffic patterns in the area and the most recent Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes on 80" Street, Hardwood Avenue, and East Point Douglas Road. V. Traffic Operations Analysis Traffic operations were analyzed for four scenarios: 2016 No Build Existing traffic volumes with existing geometry 2016 Build I Development traffic volumes and trips generated from HyVee with existing geometry. Development includes HyVee, Retail/Shopping Center (17,010 s.f.), Gas Station and Coffee/Donut Shop with Drive -Through Window.

Development includes Build 1 development plus Retail/Shopping Center (84,000 s.f.) and Medical/Dental Office Building. Traffic operations results for the scenarios are attached on the following pages, • 2016 No Build: Tables Al and A2 • 2016 Build ]:Tables Bland B2 • 2016 Build I — Mitigation: Tables Cl and C2 • 2016 Build 2 —Mitigation: Tables D7 and D2 A. The current public roadway intersections operate at acceptable levels. B. The additional trips generated from the Build 1 scenario results in increased delay and unacceptable queues (backups). This includes: • Unacceptable eastbound delay and queues at the East Point Douglas Road/Grove Plaza signalized intersection. o The westbound right turning traffic from the proposed development has priority over the eastbound left movements. The eastbound traffic gets little to no time each signal cycle to make the left turn movement. • Continuous backup between the 80'^ Street and Grove Plaza intersections due to southbound entering traffic and northbound exiting traffic. This backup continues through each intersection. • Westbound right turns at the access just south of 80' Street are not able to access East Point Douglas Road due to the continuous northbound queue from 80" Street. C. Mitigation of the Build 1 scenario includes the following proposed improvements: • 8011' Street at East Point Douglas Road/Hardwood Avenue o Restripe northbound lanes to a dual left and I thru lane o Construct 200' northbound right tmtt lane o New northbound signal mast arm with additional heads for the dual northbound left configuration o New signal heads for north -south protected only left turn phasing o Extend the east -west left turn lanes to allow for more storage o Revise signal detection for new lane arrangement o Revise the cabinet to accommodate changes o New signal timing East Point Douglas Road at Grove Plaza o Restripe southbound lanes to dual left, 1 thru lane, and 1 right turn lane o Add a second lane eastbound away from the intersection to accommodate the southbound dual left turn lanes o New southbound signal mast arm with additional heads for the dual southbound left configuration LACottage Grove\HyVm Memo\2016-06-22_HyVee Mema.docx DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Monk is an equal opportunity employer. SON 6 o New signal heads for north -south protected only left turn phasing o Add an eastbound left turn phase to allow the eastbound left to traverse the intersection prior to the westbound right o Add a westbound right turn overlap phase that can run concurrently with the southbound left o Revise signal detection for new lane arrangement o Revise the cabinet to accommodate changes o New signal timing These proposed improvements are shown on the attached layout. These proposed improvements enable the eastbound movement at Grove Plaza to operate as it does today. Backups between 80's Street and Grove Plaza are still prevalent but do not back up into the adjacent intersections continuously. The resulting westbound queue at Grove Plaza is an average of five vehicles with a maximum of eleven vehicles during the PM peak hour. The westbound exiting queue from the proposed development indicates that the gas station access just cast of East Point Douglas Drive is too close. A vehicle entering the site from East Point Douglas Road and making a left in at the gas station access will be blocked by exiting traffic most of the time. This results in backups extending into East Point Douglas Road which is a safety concern. • The gas station access as proposed should be closed and all access to the gas station should be off of the north -south internal access drive. D. The mitigation improvements as applied to the Build 2 scenario results in unacceptable service levels for the southbound left, eastbound thru and westbound left at the 800'Street and East Point Douglas Road/Hardwood Avenue intersection. Mitigation options beyond what is proposed under Build 1 are not deemed to be feasible due to extensive property impacts on all four corners. The East Point Douglas Road and Grove Plaza intersection operations are anticipated to be equal to Build 1 even with the additional traffic, due to the available capacity with the improvements. VI. Additional Considerations Fuel Truck Access Entrance at Grove Plaza The proposed site plan includes provision for a fuel truck to access the gas station off of East Point Douglas Road at Grove Plaza. The attached truck turning diagram indicates that a fuel track turning from the southbound left turn lane would conflict with the existing traffic. A fuel truck would have to make the left turn from the southbound right turn lane to not impact any exiting traffic. A southbound dual left and two lane entrance would be anticipated to improve the safety. Truck Exit at Grove Plaza A truck exiting the site at Grove Plaza impacts the median along East Point Douglas Road and the northeast curb corner. Trucks will have to turn from the left/thru lane. The curb radius on the northeast corner should be revised with a larger radius. Northbound left at 80i1 Street A truck making the northbound left at 80" Sheet and East Point Douglas Road/Hardwood Avenue takes over both of the westbound lanes. With the change to a dual northbound left trucks will be directed to use the outer left turn lane.

Conclusions The development impacts are as identified in the study. The primary conclusions are provided below. • Unacceptable operations and queues are anticipated on East Point Douglas Road with the increased development. • Mitigation can be provided to improve operations and reduce queues back to existing levels with just the HyVee, minimal retail and gas station development. • Mitigation calmot be provided to provide acceptable operations and queues with the full development at 80"' Street and East Point Douglas Road/Hardwood Avenue. • The proposed gas station access east of East Point Douglas Road at Grove Plaza is too close to East Point Douglas Road, resulting in safety concerns. VIII. Recommendations • It is recolnrnended that the lane reassignment, signal revisions, and roadway improvements as outlined on the attached layout be completed. • Additional signal loops will need to be installed to provide appropriate detection for the revised lanes and signal phasing. • The proposed gas station access east of East Point Douglas Road at Grove Plaza should be closed and all access to the gas station should be off of the internal north -south roadway.

This review is based upon documents prepared by Kimley Horn, dated 6/1/16. General 1. All City of Cottage Grove standard detail plates referenced can be found on the City's website at www. cottage -g rove. ong, under Engineering Department, and shall be included in the plans. 2. Grading and utility record plans containing surveyed as -built information shall be submitted to the City upon completion of the project, in both PDF and DWG format. 3. A stormwater management agreement will be required for all stormwater management facilities that are located onsite. 4. A Cottage Grove right-of-way permit will be required for the new drive access onto East Point Douglas Road. 5. An NPDES construction stormwater permit shall be required for the project. Private Utilities 6. Demolition plans for Hy -Vee still show removal of the Century Link cabinet near the back of the proposed building near East Point Douglas Road. Protection of this cabinet should be confirmed as shown on sheet C3.0. 7. Please note there is an existing utility ped box near the residential property behind the proposed building. Street/Sidewalk 8. All pedestrian curb ramps shall be ADA compliant with truncated domes. 9. Truncated domes shall be black in color. 10. A stop sign shall be included on the East Point Douglas Road entrance near the back of the proposed building. 11. Concrete driveway aprons shall be placed at the entrances off of East Point Douglas Road. 12. Please verify the gutter line cross -slope is correct on the East Point Douglas entrance near the front of the building. Sheet C4.0 currently shows only 0.22 feet of fall across the driveway entrance. Hy -Vee Engineering Review Comments June 22, 2016 Page 2 of 3 13. Based on traffic analysis of the signalized intersection, dual left turns from southbound East Point Douglas Road and two entrance lanes into the site will be needed to accommodate traffic for Hy -Vee. The site plan will need to be modified to include two entrance lanes. 14. Costs for modification of the signalized intersection to accommodate dual lefts into the site will be the responsibility of Hy -Vee. This will include restriping of the southbound approach of East Point Douglas Road for dual lefts, new signal mast arms, relocation of signal poles, modification of signal loops, and adjustments to the signal timing. Intersection curb ramps shall be reconstructed to be ADA compliant. 15. Hy -Vee will be responsible for modification of the outbound signal loop onto East Point Douglas Road due to the proposed repaving. 16. The Hy -Vee plans show the removal of the bituminous pavement on the school district parcel that is being acquired only. Hy -Vee plans should include removal of the bituminous on the school district property to the existing curb line, and placement of new curb. 17. It appears additional easement is needed for the City sidewalk along East Point Douglas Road near the school district property. 18. City sidewalk shall be 6 -inch depth per detail plate STR-10. 19. Please note City ordinance requires 21 -foot parking stalls and 18 -foot drive lanes. Plans currently show 19.6 -foot stalls and 18 -foot drive lanes. Water Main 20. Hydrant placement shall be verified to meet the City Fire Marshall's requirements. 21. Water lines shall be rodded both vertically and horizontally under all buildings. 22. Hydrants shall have Storz connections. 23. When behind curb, hydrants shall have concrete hydrant pads per detail plate WAT-9. 24.

Sanitary Sewer 26. The existing Merchant's Bank sanitary sewer service shall be removed and capped if it is not utilized for the proposed C -Store. 27. Please provide further details on the sanitary sewer piping for the grease interceptor. 28. The note on sheet C5.0 should be updated to require 18 -inch minimum vertical separation between water mains and sewers. Storm Sewer 29. It is the City's policy to maintain a minimum of one foot between the overland flow elevation and the low entry of the adjacent structures (southeast corner of the site, etc.). Please verify that all emergency overflows meet the City's requirements. 30. STM MH -9 shall be a sump. Hy -Vee Engineering Review Comments June 22, 2016 Page 3 of 3 31. Currently a concrete drainage swale is proposed between Lot 2 and Lot 1, behind the 17,010 square foot retail building. To eliminate ongoing drainage and maintenance issues, a catch basin should be placed on Lot 2 to capture drainage and route to the storm sewer on Lot 1. 32. Plans should address offsite drainage from the school district property near the back entrance off of East Point Douglas Road. 33. Please verify all storm sewer pipe is RCP. 34. It appears there is a storm sewer/water main conflict near the northwest corner of the building, between STM MH -18 and STM MH -15. Stormwater Management Report Comments 35. For the proposed conditions, drainage areas 2.1 and 2.10 should be graded to allow water to flow into the storm sewer system and enter the underground filtration system rather than sheet flowing onto the adjacent surface streets. 36. For the underground stormwater alternative 2 (ACO StormBrixx Access Chamber), please verify there is a way to clean inside the chamber given most of the treatment will occur within it.

Passed this 20th day of June, 2016. Myron Bailey, Mayor Attest: Joe Fischbach, City Clerk EXCERPT FROM UNAPPROVED MINUTES OF THE JUNE 27, 2016, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 6.2 Hy-Vee Revised Site Plan – Cases SP2016-050 and CUP2016-051 Hy-Vee, Inc. has applied for an amendment to the approved site plan review and conditional use permit for the proposed Hy-Vee development at Grove Plaza to change the location of the proposed gas station and convenience store to the Merchants Bank parcel at 7200 East Point Douglas Road South McCool summarized the staff report and recommended approval based on the findings of fact and subject to the conditions stipulated in the staff report. Haagsman noted that the amount of parking has increased and asked where those extra spaces were generated from. McCool responded because the convenience store has moved to the northeast corner of the property, more land became available for additional parking, even though the buildings increased in size. He noted that he included the 16 parking spaces at each of the 16 gas pumping stations in the total. McCool then stated that the Engineering Department and the City’s consultant’s comments were incorporated in the conditions recommending approval of HyVee’s development plan. He pointed out the median and the access drive shared between the two properties is recom- mended to be closed and to be shifted to the south. The purpose for relocating this internal access is to prevent inbound traffic from stacking back into East Point Douglas Road because of motorists southward bound attempting to make a left turn into the gas station. Graff asked if there would be improvements to the road driving in front of the bank and going towards Starbucks. McCool responded there are no changes planned for that shared access drive. Fox asked if the two east/west lanes that are being shifted will be controlled. Levitt stated that will be evaluated with applicant based on volume; if “STOP” signs are put in on that through movement, it can continue to back things up further. Also staff’s recommendation is for a dual left turn into the property so there would be another drive aisle being able to make that left movement, so the intersection will get wider in regards to access to the property. Levitt explained that staff is continuing to work with the applicant. The ultimate goal and objective is to ensure that motorists can get there safely, efficiently, and effectively. Phil Hoey, 2960 320th Street West, Northfield, Minnesota, stated that the most of the project has not changed a lot but moving the convenience store out of the parking lot is significant. He explained that they have spent a lot of time with the neighbor as they are the most impacted by this development and noted that the plan shows the fence in the wrong location and are moving it to a location that the resident has approved. They will continue to work with that neighbor as construction continues. Hoey also noted that the plan is mislabeled and there are only two wind turbines. Regarding the interim conditional use permit, they are requesting that the use begin on April 1 and not May 1, to allow for set-up. He stated that they want to ensure that customers get on the site safely, navigate it efficiently, and find available parking stalls, and they will continue to work with staff on a configuration, whether that means adding a dual left or changing the way the signal works. Excerpt from Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes Hy-Vee Revised Site Plan June 27, 2016 Page 2 of 2 Rasmussen asked what type of tenant will be in the convenience store. Hoey responded that typically their convenience stores have a national coffee user but they do not have anything agreed upon at this time. Rasmussen believes a coffee shop with a drive-through does not fit as there is very minimal parking at the convenience store, and even with the shared parking, customers would have to cross the access drives. He expressed concern about the lack of parking for the C-store. Hoey responded that parking for a convenience store is critical. As far as the coffee user, they are also going to look at whether there is sufficient parking. The City has a parking ordinance that they will follow but it is also in their best interests that their cus- tomers have a place to park. They looked at the drive-through configuration closely and de- signed something they believe functions but if there was a way to fit more spaces in there, they would look at doing that, which may be possible if the access point is closed. Graf asked how the parking for this proposed store compares to the Oakdale site. Hoey stated that the parking for that store is very similar to this proposal; the difference is that behind the convenience store there is additional parking, but some of that is used for employee parking. Graff opened the public hearing. No one else spoke. Graff closed the public hearing. Graf made a motion to approve the revised site plan, conditional use permit, variance for parking setbacks and landscaping, and the interim conditional use permit with a change to start date to April 1, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Haagsman seconded. Motion passed unanimously (8-to-0 vote).
