Background
Approval for the construction of the initial 221,000 square foot Renewal by Andersen (Renewal)
building was given in 1998. This included a variance for locating the loading docks on the south
side of the building abutting a public street, which is prohibited by the Industrial Zoning District
regulations.
In 2008, a resolution allowing for installation of an outdoor window test facility was approved. This
approval allowed for outdoor storage of products otherwise prohibited within the Industrial Zoning
Districts. The test area is located in the southwest corner of the property, which is completely
fenced, and additional landscaping was installed to shield view from public rights-of-way.
In 2014, a request for an additional parking area was approved allowing parking to be added to
the northwest corner of the parcel and along the southwest corner of the parcel. In 2015, building
permits were secured for a 130,000 square foot building addition as part of Renewal’s phased
expansion plans for their continued growth.
On May 6, 2018, the City Council approved the preliminary and final plats named Glengrove In-
dustrial Park 7th Addition (Resolution 2018-083). The plat subdivided approximately 50.57 acres
of land into a 9.21-acre parcel and two outlots consisting of approximately 41.157 and 0.199 acres.
Renewal purchased the 9.21-acre parcel so they could create additional outdoor semi-trailer park-
ing for their operations and to separate employee parking from the semi-trailers at 9800 Jamaica
Avenue and allow for possible future building expansion.
In 2019, Renewal again requested a site plan review for expansion to their existing facility. The
request included purchase of an additional 19 acres of land to the west of the existing facility. The
expansion included construction of a 350,000 square foot building to support additional ware-
house, manufacturing, and office space. As part of the addition, a variance was approved for
construction of a covered transitway to connect their current facility with the 350,000 square foot
expansion. Two additional variances were also approved including additional loading docks facing
a public right-of-way and reduced landscape plantings.
Renewal currently operates on two separate parcels, an approximate 30-acre parcel at the corner
of Jamaica Avenue and 100 Street South and a 27.9-acre parcel to the west. The original 351,000
square foot building location includes employee parking in the southeast and northwest corners
of the parcel. Truck and trailer parking is located on the southwest side of the building and includes
loading docks facing the public right-of-way, which were permitted via a variance prior to originial
construction of the Renewal facility. Ponding is located in the northeast corner of the parcel
including a trail around the perimeter accessible by employees. The 351,000 square foot
expansion is utilized for warehousing, manufacturing, and office space needs and is connected
to the original Renewal building via a transitway.

Preliminary Plat
As part of Renewal’s expansion in 2019, the 27-acres outlined in blue, was platted and purchased
by Renewal to support the 350,000 square foot expansion.
Current Glengrove 8th Addition
With the request for the additional expansion area of 330,000 square feet, Renewal is proposing
to purchase the remaining 19 acres that was platted in 2019 as an outlot for future expansion.
Given the proposed expansion extends past the current property lines, the parcels are required
to be combined into one lot. The Glengrove Industrial Park 10th Addition plat combines Outlot A
and Lot 1, Block 1 into one buildable parcel.
Glengrove 10th Addition Plat
Site Plan
Renewal continues to see tremendous growth since their expansion in 2019, which proposed a
future 100,000 square foot expansion in addition to their 350,000 square foot expansion at that
time. Renewal is currently proposing to expand by 330,000 square feet, which would support their

continued need for warehouse, manufacturing, and office space for their continued business
growth.
Site Layout
The proposed expansion would also include a guard house at the truck access on Hemingway
Avenue as well as a dust collection system similar to the systems on both of their current buildings.
Planning Considerations
Comprehensive Plan
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Industrial. The proposed use is consistent
with this guided land use. Additional properties south of 100th Street are also guided Industrial to
continue to support the expansion of the Cottage Grove Business Park.
Ordinance Criteria
The existing Renewal by Andersen 27.9-acre parcel and the proposed additional 19.3-acre parcel
are currently zoned I-2, General Industry. This zoning classification is consistent with the industrial
land use designation shown in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed warehousing, office
space, and light industrial uses are permitted uses within the I-2, General Industry Zoning District.
The City’s Zoning Ordinance requires site plan review for proposed new structures or additions.
The purpose of the site plan review is to ensure proposed new developments conform to the City’s
development standards that are outlined within the Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Along with the site plan review regulations associated with the proposed structure, a variance has
been requested to allow for the proposed 69-truck access/loading dock doorways along the south
and west sides of the proposed building. These access/loading areas would be seen from 100th
Street and Hemingway Avenue. City Code Title 11-11-15 specifically states loading docks “shall
not be permitted on the side of a building facing a public street.” Proposed plantings and berming
along the south side of the expansion area as well as additional plantings proposed on the existing
berm would provide screening of the loading docks.

With any variance request, the Planning Commission must look to the zoning ordinance for guid-
ance and direction. City Code Title 11-2-7, Variances, states that:
A. Authority And Purpose: The City Council may grant variances from the strict application of the
provisions of this title and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted in
cases where there are practical difficulties or particular hardships in the way of carrying out the
strict letter of the regulations of this title.
D. Consideration By Planning Commission; Recommendation: Before authorization of any vari-
ances, the request therefor shall be referred to the Planning Commission, and for its recommen-
dation to the City Council for the granting of such variance from the strict application of the
provisions of this title so as to relieve such practical difficulties to the degree considered reason-
able without impairing the intent and purpose of this title and the comprehensive plan. The plan-
ning commission shall recommend such conditions related to the variance, regarding the
location, character and other features of the proposed building, structure or use, as it may deem
advisable. The Planning Commission shall make its recommendation within sixty (60) days after
the request is referred to it, unless the applicant requests, in writing, that an extension of time
for review be granted by the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission may recommend a variance from the strict application of the provi-
sion of this title, 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.
Setbacks
The minimum front, rear, and parking setbacks for the I-2, General Industry Zoning District, have
all been met with the proposed site plan including the required 10-foot setback for parking and
trailer parking areas.
Traffic/Access
As part of the 2019 expansion, Renewal constructed three additional access points off 100th
Street and constructed the required right turn lanes on 100th Street at each access. The most
easterly access is specifically for employee traffic while the westerly accesses are utilized for truck
traffic. With the proposed expansion, two additional access points are proposed on Hemingway
Avenue to the west of the site. In 2022, 100th Street will be expanded to include improvements

such as turn lanes at Hemingway Avenue, a center left turn lane for each of the Renewal en-
trances, and a trail along the north and south sides of 100th Street, all of which Renewal will
benefit from. As such, Renewal will be required to fund the installation of the trail on the north side
of 100th Street adjacent to their proposed expansion and the installation of the left turn lanes for
the existing accesses at Ideal Avenue and just west of Ideal Avenue. These improvements are
being completed as part of an adjacent industrial development project, and therefore, no addi-
tional improvements will be required by Renewal as part of their proposed project.
Proposed Access Locations
Dust Collection System
Renewal has indicated an additional dust collection system will be necessary for the proposed
330,000 square foot building. The system would be located on the 100th Street side (south side)
of the building and be similar in size and color to the existing two systems: one at their original
facility and one at their 2019 building. The system is visible from the right-of-way, therefore, there
will be a condition ensuring that the color of the duct collection system complements the building
color scheme will be required.

Signage
In 2020, Renewal was granted a conditional use permit for the installation of additional monument
signs throughout its campus specifically, at each access. With the proposed expansion and addi-
tional access locations off Hemingway Avenue, Renewal is proposing two additional monument
signs at each access. These monument signs would be similar in size and color to match the
existing signage within the campus area. The proposed signs would be required to be reviewed
and approved as part of the building permit review process and would not require additional ap-
provals. These signs would be required to be placed within private property and outside of the
right-of-way. The proposed wall signage will mimic the existing wall signage on the east end of
the existing building.

Parking
There were 509 employee parking stalls proposed and constructed as part of Renewal’s 2019
expansion. Current employee and passenger vehicle parking spaces continue to support the ex-
pansion area office and manufacturing use of the existing facility. The proposed expansion does
not require removal of existing employee and passenger vehicle parking but proposes an addi-
tional 250 spaces on the north side of the building. This parking area will be accessible via the
northerly Hemingway access.

Current semi-trailer parking (145 spaces) is located in the area of the proposed building expan-
sion; therefore, Renewal is proposing to shift this parking area to the west and adjacent to
Hemingway Avenue. The proposed adjustment does not reduce, but increases, the truck and
trailer parking area to 281 parking spaces to support the increased demand for trailer storage and
parking.
Renewal is also proposing construction of a guard house at the west end of their truck and trailer
parking area. The proposed structure would be located on the north side of the truck access off
Hemingway Avenue and would support guidance of truck traffic and trailer parking into and out of
the trailer parking portion of the expansion area. The structure will be 135 feet from the property
line and would meet the minimum setback requirement of 80 feet from Hemingway Avenue.
Proposed Guard House Location
The guard house is proposed with exterior materials that would match in color scheme to the
principal building on the site. The proposed guard house exterior materials are similar to that of
other existing guard house structures within the Business Park. The final proposed exterior
materials will be required to be reviewed and approved as part of the building permit process.
Guard House Elevation
Utilities
As part of the plat, a public drainage and utility easement will be provided over the public trunk
water main that extends through the development property. During the 2019 expansion, the City
required extension of a trunk water main from the north side of the development property to con-
nect into 100th Street. With the proposed expansion, the water main is required to be realigned
on the site. The current platted drainage and utility easement over the pipe will be vacated once
the main has been removed, and a new easement platted over the water main in the relocated
location.

Surface Water Management/Grading
The site grading for the project is proposed to meet the surface water management requirements
established by the State, Watershed District, and the City’s Surface Water Management Plan.
Final construction drawings will need to meet the approval of the City Engineer.
Stormwater is proposed to be managed within the existing pond to the north of the development
site. This pond was constructed as part of Renewal’s 2019 expansion project to support future
expansion and growth on the site. If the pond continues to support surface water from Renewal’s
site only, the City will work with Renewal to potentially take ownership of the pond and be respon-
sible for the maintenance of the pond. Additional stormwater needs within the Business Park
would be supported either on future development sites, or potentially within other existing basins
depending on availability and location.

Tree Preservation
The applicant has completed an individual tree inventory as required with a site plan review ap-
plication. The table below outlines the existing qualifying inches on the site, the proposed removal
of qualifying inches, and required mitigation of qualifying inches removed above the permitted
removal rate:

qualifying removal to be Inches inches Replacement inches
inches threshold removed removed removed rate required
2,501 60% 1,500 2,107 607 50% 303
Tree Mitigation Table
Renewal is proposing to mitigate the required 303 inches on the site with the planting of additional
trees along 100th Street as well as upsizing the size of proposed tree plantings to provide an
opaque buffer for the loading docks along 100th Street.
Landscaping
City Code Title 11-6-5 requires 15 percent of the proposed developed space to be dedicated open
space in a commercial or industrial development as well as 8 percent green space within parking
islands and bump outs. Renewal is proposing 19 percent of the expansion area to be preserved
as open/green space and 10 percent of the proposed parking area to include landscape islands
and bump outs both meeting the City’s minimum ordinance standards. The total expansion areas
(2019 expansion and proposed 2022 expansion) will provide 11 percent green space within land-
scape parking islands as well as a total of 17 percent green/open space throughout the expansion
area as a whole. The required landscape calculation (per square feet of site area) and the pro-
posed plantings are outlined in the table below:
The applicant has provided a detailed landscaping plan including plantings throughout the pro-
posed development area meeting the required 15 percent and 8 percent open space require-
ments. A wetland delineation will verify if a wetland exists in the southwest corner of the site. If a
wetland is present, the proposed landscape plantings on the current landscape plan will be re-
quired to be removed and an amended landscape plan submitted. If a wetland does not exist, the
proposed plantings should remain on the landscape plan, and the berming proposed along 100th
Street should be extended to wrap around the corner at 100th Street and Hemingway. A wetland
delineation is required to be completed prior to the issuance of a building permit, and an updated
landscape and grading plan submitted for review and approval by the Community Development
Department.

The proposed landscape plan also includes berming along the southerly boundary (along 100th
Street) and along the westerly property line adjacent to Hemingway Avenue providing screening
of the trailer parking and loading docks. The landscape plan proposes coniferous trees ranging
from 6 feet to 10 feet in height at time of planting on each of the berms to provide year-round
screening of these areas. Additional coniferous tree plantings along the existing berm constructed
as part of the 2019 expansion are required to enhance the visual buffer from 100th Street in those
areas as well.
Given the small size of the berms constructed along 100th Street as a part of the 2019 expansion,
the areas do not seem to be able to support or be effectively managed as native turf. As part of
the proposed current expansion, the existing and proposed berming areas along 100th Street and
Hemingway Avenue are required to be irrigated and have sod installed. Additional coniferous
trees proposed to be planted along 100th Street shall be planted as no less than 6 feet in height.
Lighting Plan
Renewal has submitted a completed photometric study with their application. The submitted study
verifies the lighting on the site does not exceed one (1) foot-candle at the property lines as outlined
in the City’s ordinance standards. In addition, the applicant is proposing additional coniferous,
year-round coverage, plantings on the existing berm along 100th Street with the intent to provide
additional buffering of lighting on the site from 100th Street.
Architecture
The proposed building’s color scheme and materials would align with both existing Renewal build-
ings. The proposed addition to the existing building is proposed to be composed of exposed
aggregate paneling and vision glass by Renewal as well as metal canopies over each of the
pedestrian doors. Illustrations of the aggregate panels are shown below which are consistent with
Zoning Ordinance requirements of 65 percent Class I materials.
