Rand Road (Courtesy Home Center The Petitioner, Menards, is requesting an amendment to the Planned Unit Development governing this property, which amendment would delete the authorized self-storage facility and permit an enclosure for outside storage of building materials as an accessory use for Menard's Home Improvement Center. The subject property is currently occupied and owned by Courtesy Home Center. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting the request by a vote of 6-0. It was noted that the proposal includes outside storage of building materials on wall-like shelving racks which would surround the outside area in the form of a fence. The.original proposal was for this wall to be 14 feet in height, however, the proposal was amended at the Zoning Board of Appeals to 10 feet at the property line abutting single family homes. Richard Benson, 220 Autumn Lane and President of the Harvest Heights Homeowners Association presented a Petition in opposition to the proposal. Some of the concerns expressed by residents included: Truck traffic and the fact that trucks leave their motors running at all hours; Lighting; Landscaping at rear of property; Garbage and hours of garbage pick-up; and Setback of fence Page 5 - September 7, 1993 Gary Colby, representing Menard's, stated that the outside storage area will have gates and will be accessible for deliveries only during hours of operation; the height of the light poles would be such as to eliminate any glare into the single family home area; there would be security lighting within the outside storage area; Menard's would install the landscaping abutting the single family homes and the home owners would agree to maintain the landscaping; the garbage area will be located within the security area therefore prohibiting garbage pick-up until the gates are open, and will also prohibit 'fly dumping'. There was considerable discussion on the subject of the setback at the rear of the building, between 'the commercial property and the single family lots, noting that the distance between the rear of the building and the lot line was not available, which was important due to the required area for emergency vehicle access. Based on that information the setback could be 7 feet for the entire length of the rear property line or 5 feet behind the building and 10 feet for the balance of the area.
