Development Plan - Menards Retail Store, Lot 1A, a Resubdivision of Lot 1, East Lakeway Subdivision II
APPLICANT/OWNER:
Tyler Edwards, Real Estate Representative - Menard, Inc.
AGENT:
Carol Chadwick, Engineer
CASE SUMMARY:
Menard, Inc. is requesting approval of a Development Plan for a new retail store.
CASE BACKGROUND:
The 16.33 acre property is located northwest of the intersection of Lakeway Road and Butler Spaeth Road. The site is located within Lot 1, Lakeway II Subdivision, which is proposed to be resubdivided to create the lot on which the Menards retail store is planned. The property has a zoning designation of C-1, General Commercial District and the store is a permitted use in this zoning district. The site is surrounded by vacant land except for residential development to the northwest and commercial development to the southeast. The store will have 94,432 square feet of indoor retail space and 172,874 square feet of outside yard area.

Access will be from Lakeway Road via KG Avenue, a private road planned to be a public right-of-way when extended north, and Town Center Drive, an existing private road.  Water, sewer, and electric are adjacent to the site. The applicant has submitted information about the parking requirements for numerous other stores. The project proposes parking spaces be calculated at 1 space/275 square feet of low volume retail space and 1 space/2 employees in the yard area. The number of parking spaces exceeds the amount required in the Zoning Ordinance. No waivers are being requested. The Parks and Beautification Board approved the Landscape Plan for the site on March 27, 2014.  
CASE REQUIREMENTS:
1. KG Avenue shall be completed and approved by City Engineering prior to a Final Certificate of Occupancy being issued.

8. Any signage on the site shall be permitted separately by the City Building Inspection Division prior to installation.

9. The Final Plat of the Resubdivision of Lot 1, East Lakeway Subdivision II, creating Lot 1A, a Resubdivision of Lot 1, East Lakeway Subdivision II shall be recorded prior to recording the Development Plan.
