7.2 Zone Magnolia Commons Addition CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 1 2 Planning BY: Dean Andrew BY: ITEM: Ordinance No. 08-10476 Application #Z08-9 filed by Magnolia Development Partners LLC, requesting a change in zoning district classification from Saline County AG and A-1 (Agricultural) to PC-5 (Planned Service Commercial) and approval of a preliminary / final site development plan for a retail store on a 40 acre tract of land located at the southwest corner of Magnolia Road and 1-135. BACKGROUND: This property was recently purchased from Com.Co. of Kansas, Inc. by a Kansas City development group which is interested in developing this site with retail stores, restaurants and a lumber yard/home improvement center. The primary anchor of this shopping center development would be a Menards store. The request area is a 40 acre tract of land that is currently vacant and used for agricultural purposes. The developer has filed this application to rezone the entire tract from Saline County AG and A-1 to PC-5 to allow commercial development of the site. Because this is an application for Planned Commercial zoning, the developer's engineers (Wilson & Co.) have submitted a preliminary site plan showing the location, dimensions and setbacks of the proposed building, total floor area and site coverage, proposed access drives and parking areas and conceptual landscaping on the Menards site (Proposed Lot 4). The majority of the subject property was annexed into the city in 1997 but has remained zoned A-1 (Agricultural) and is currently being cultivated. Approximately 9 additional acres are being proposed for annexation as part of this development proposal. Neither this property or any of the surrounding property has ever been part of any subdivision plat. Sec. 42-8 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that land be subdivided in accordance with the city's Subdivision Regulations prior to rezoning any area to any district other than A-1. The applicant has submitted a companion preliminary plat application for the entire 40 acre tract (which was approved by the Planning Commission) and an annexation application for the portion not already in the city limits. The rezoning application should be considered first. ZoninQ Ordinance ReQuirements Intent and Purpose of C-5 District The C-5 district is designed for those businesses and commercial uses which draw their customers from motorists on the highway, or for whom a location on a highway or arterial street is especially useful or necessary. Although some of the typical retail uses are permitted in other commercial districts, most of these permitted in this district would not blend well into prime retail area. This is a request for PC-5 zoning to allow a lumber yard / home improvement center with outdoor storage. If the applicant's request for PC-5 zoning is approved, development of lots within this subdivision would be subject to the approved final site plan for each lot and the following standards and limitations: CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 2 2 Planning BY: Dean Andrew BY: 1. Uses allowed - On Lots 1, 3 and 4, Block 1 all permitted uses listed in C-5, plus any conditional uses approved by the City Commission. Permitted uses would include almost any commercial or retail use, including auto sales lots, contractor's office, retail stores and restaurants and such things as lumber yards, apartments and mini-warehouses as conditional uses. C-5 also allows outdoor storage and display of goods and equipment. Any conditional use not specifically requested in the district by the applicant at the initial zoning hearing would require a separate application and a new public hearing as well as the submittal and approval of a site plan. In this case, lumber yards (a C-5 conditional use) are being requested as a permitted use on Lot 4. * Because this is a request for planned commercial zoning, the City Commission has the discretion to restrict or eliminate any C-5 permitted uses it believes could be incompatible with its vision for this location and the future development of the surrounding area. The City Commission would also have the option of approving a lesser change to PC-3 on the other two lots if that is consistent with the vision of the developers. 2. Setbacks - Front yard - 25 ft. Side yard - None required but the Fire Dept. requires a 20 ft. access aisle beside and between all buildings. Rear yard - None required but the Fire Dept. requires a 20 ft. access aisle beside and between all buildings. 3. Minimum lot width - 75 ft. 4. Minimum lot area - 7,500 sq. ft. 5. Maximum lot coverage - Up to 50% of each building lot 6. Maximum structure height - 50 ft. 7. Parking - For any retail stores - one (1) parking space for each two hundred fifty (250) square feet of floor area. For convenience stores - one (1) parking space for each two hundred (200) square feet of floor area. For eating and drinking establishments the requirements are as follows -- One (1) space for each fifty (50) square feet of customer service or dining floor area or one (1) space for each CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M.

All spaces shall be designed so as not to impede vehicle circulation on-site or on abutting streets. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: For lumber yards the requirements would be the same as for other retail space. 8. Outdoor Storage - The C-3 zoning district severely limits the outdoor display and storage of goods, materials and equipment. Outdoor display and sales is prohibited in the C-3 district with the exception of accessory garden centers. Discount stores and grocery stores may have outdoor display and sales of plants, nursery stock, gardening supplies and landscaping materials provided the outdoor display area does not exceed 15% of the floor area of the store, is separated or protected from the parking lot area and is not located in a front yard setback area. Walmart, Target, KMART and Dillons Southgate fall within this category. Sutherland's in Mid State Plaza is located in a C-3 district and the City has had an ongoing enforcement battle with them over the outdoor storage of inventory and supplies. The applicant is attempting to avoid this conflict by requesting C-5 zoning for the Menards site. C-5 does not have the same restrictions on outdoor display and storage as C-3. The Lowes store on S. 9th Street is also zoned PC-5. 9. Signage - In the C-3 district pole, ground and/or wall signs are allowed with the following limitations: a. Maximum sign area: Four (4) sq. ft. of sign area for each lineal foot of building frontage. b. Maximum height: 30 ft. (The Planning Commission has imposed a 30 ft. height limit in most Planned Commercial Districts). c. Required setback: None d. Advertising signs: No off-premise signs permitted. In the C-5 district the size limitations are the same but the maximum sign height is 50 ft. Also, interstate oriented signs adjacent to elevated roadways or bridges may be up to 70 ft. in height and off-premise advertising signs are allowed in the C-5 district. Because this would be a planned commercial district, staff would recommend that a master sign plan be adopted for this development. Specifically, staff would recommend that the development be limited to one freestanding pole or pylon sign per zoning lot, with a maximum permitted sign area of 150 sq. ft. each and a maximum sign height of 30 ft. for signs on CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 4 Magnolia Road, Virginia Drive, Virginia Court and the north - south access easement, with no maximum sign area and a maximum height of 70 ft. for interstate oriented signs. Additional business facade or wall signs would be subject to the C-3 or C-5 sign regulations. For example, Lot 1 would be allowed one 30 ft. pole sign in addition to the off-premise Menards sign. If Lot 3 were split into two zoning lots, two pole signs would be allowed in addition to the off-premise Menards sign. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: Menards is proposing a 70 ft. tall, 600 sq. ft. sign oriented to the interstate which would fit within these parameters. *Waivers, Exceptions Requested: The only exceptions being requested to the development limitations of the C-5 district that staff is aware of at this time are: 1. A lumber yard with outdoor storage as a permitted use on Lot 4, Block 1 (the proposed Menards site). PC-5 zoning is being requested to allow this use. 2. An exception to allow a 14 ft. tall front yard screening fence along Virginia Drive on Lot 4, Block 1. 3. A request to allow an off-premise 400 sq. ft., 70 ft. tall pole sign with a 200 sq. ft. reader board on Lot 3, Block 1 adjacent to 1-135 and a 100 sq. ft., 15 ft. tall pole sign on Lot 1, Block 1 adjacent to Magnolia Road. If any development on this 40 acre site is proposed which is substantially different than what was proposed on the preliminary site plan presented at the Planning Commission hearing, a new public hearing and the submission and approval of a new site development plan would be required. Suitabilitv of the Site for Development Under Existinq Zoninq This factor deals with whether there are substantial reasons why the subject property has remained vacant as zoned or cannot be used in accordance with the existing AG and A-1 zoning. The subject site is a tract with approximately 1750 ft. of frontage along 1-135 and about 700 ft. of frontage on Magnolia Road and the Magnolia Road entrance ramp to 1-135. The north 31 acres was zoned A-1 when it was annexed into the city in 1997. A-1 zoning is one of the most limiting and restrictive zones in the city's zoning regulations. There are currently no City utilities serving this site or any of the surrounding property. However, its proximity to the 1-135 and Magnolia Road interchange and other commercial development east of the interchange make it a prime location for commercial development in the eyes of the applicant. They believe the current A-1 zoning serves to inhibit development on this site compared to similarly situated property on the other side of the interchange. Staff would agree that A-1 zoning certainly inhibits commercial development but the real obstacle to CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 5 growth west of the interstate has been the lack of public utilities. The City has initiated the design and construction of a $1.5 million project to extend water and sanitary sewer service to the area along Magnolia Road between Centennial Road and 1-135. Upon completion of this project this site will be very suitable for commercial development. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: Although this property is extremely flat and water tends to pool on site, it is not located in any mapped flood plain or in a critical drainage area. There are no flood plain regulations that would restrict the full development of this site. The only other limiting factor on the commercial development of this property is limited access. Due to the elevation of Magnolia Road and the restricted access acquired by KDOT, access to this site is in the far northwest corner of the property. Since there is only one way in and out of this area, careful attention needs to be paid to the proposed design of the Virginia Drive - Magnolia Road intersection to insure that it can accommodate the volume of traffic that could be generated by zoning this site for retail commercial development. Character of the Neiqhborhood This factor deals with whether the requested PC-5 zoning would be compatible with the zoning and uses of nearby property. The city's Future Land Use Plan shows all four quadrants of the Magnolia and 1-135 interchange as being appropriate for retail commercial development. The area on the east side of the Magnolia Road interchange is predominantly zoned C-3 and C-5. Therefore staff believes the requested zoning change from A-1 to PC-5 would be compatible with the zoning and the existing and future uses of nearby property. Public Utilities and Services This factor deals with whether the proposed rezoning will create traffic congestion, overtax public utilities, cause drainage problems, overload public schools, jeopardize fire or police protection or otherwise detrimentally affect public services and whether the property owner or developer will provide the public improvements necessary to adequately serve the development. Public water, sanitary sewer and gas lines are lacking at this time, however a plan is in place to extend utilities to this site. Because this is essentially infill development between the developed city east of 1-135 and the Airport Industrial Area, the change in zoning classification and uses proposed by the applicant should not result in any additional burden on public facilities and services. Fire protection would be provided by Station #3 located on Belmont Boulevard east of the interstate and police protection is already provided to property west of 1-135. Access points, street design, traffic control and drainage will be addressed in the plat review. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan This factor deals with whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the goals, objectives and CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 6 policies of the plan and whether the proposed rezoning would require an amendment to the plan and whether an amendment could be reasonably justified. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as future commercial retail. This designation envisions that the area could be developed with retail and service businesses. Rezoning to PC-5 or PC-3 would be consistent with this designation. In addition to the plan map, the following Commercial Development Policies should be used to guide development decisions: C2 High-quality new commercial development should occur at selected locations in the future. While many commercial areas could include a mix of uses, the Land-Use Plan recommends that most new commercial areas be characterized by a dominant function, such as retail, office or service. New commercial areas should be sized and located to serve specific needs within the community. The amount of land reserved for commercial purposes should be based on projected market demand and consumer needs. C3 In general, all new commercial and office development should occur in planned commercial areas. Further, "strip" commercial development should be discouraged. Wherever possible, new commercial uses should be clustered in small groupings with shared parking and common access drives, and should have a related design and appearance. C4 Commercial and office development should occur only in locations served by transportation facilities capable of handling the traffic to be generated by new development. Commercial uses should not be allowed where street capacities will be exceeded by the additional traffic generated, or where significant problems in access or compatibility with adjacent uses are anticipated. C8 All new commercial and office areas should be characterized by the highest possible standards of design and construction. The design and appearance of buildings, site development, landscaping, signs and graphics, and street furniture should all be of special concern. New commercial construction should promote a distinct image and identity for individual areas. C11 "Planned" office and commercial development should be encouraged wherever possible to help ensure coordinated lot configuration, building design, access and parking, and overall environmental features as well as compatible relationships between new and existing development. The draft Comprehensive Plan also designates this area as future commercial. Review of Preliminarv Site Plan for Lot 4 Site Coveraqe Total Land Area = 716,524 sq. ft.

The "rear" of the building would face Virginia Drive which is considered the front yard for zoning purposes. The proposed building would be 480 ft. wide and 330 ft. deep and would be set back 320 ft. from Virginia Drive. The building would be set back 25 ft. from the north property line along Virginia Court, 250 ft. from the south property line and 290 ft. from the east property line. The main entry to the store would be on the east side of the building facing 1-135. A rear lumber yard enclosure area would face Virginia Drive. A 14 ft. tall wood screening fence with storage racks would enclose the lumber yard area. A 68 ft. x 320 ft. (26,000 sq. ft.) accessory warehouse building is proposed in the northwest corner of the lumber yard area between Virginia Drive and the store building. The exterior of the store building would consist of precast concrete wall panels with horizontal accent striping on the front. The store building itself would be 27 ft. tall with a 38 ft. tall mansard over the store entrance. Buildinq Setbacks - The building shown on the preliminary site plan has adequate setbacks from proposed public streets and adequate areas set aside for front yard landscaping. Paved parking and driving areas may cover only 60% of the 25 ft. setback required adjacent to a public street. (Virginia Drive and Virginia Court). This green space requirement will be reviewed at the final site plan review stage for the remaining lots. It appears that 20' paved access for fire apparatus has been provided around all sides of the building. Parkinq - The parking ratio shown on the preliminary site plan slightly exceeds the City's minimum requirements. On Lot 4, Block 1 (the proposed Menards site) there are 454 parking spaces shown which computes to 2.2 spaces /1,000 sq. ft. of building floor area, however, much of the area under roof is devoted to material storage and shipping and receiving which has a much lower parking ratio than retail space. Staff has determined that a minimum of 441 spaces would be required under the city's off-street parking standards, so the applicant's plan actually exceeds the city's minimum requirements by 3%. If restaurants were to be located on the outlots, their parking requirements would be calculated when individual site plans and floor plans are submitted. Siqnaqe - The preliminary plan shows the proposed location of two free-standing off-premise pole signs on Lot 1 adjacent to Magnolia and Lot 3 adjacent to 1-135. Elevation drawings of the proposed signs are included in the packet. Staff views the main entrance at Magnolia and the frontage along 1- 135 as appropriate locations for larger pylon signs identifying tenants in the development. Off-premise advertising signs are not permitted in the C-3 district so the applicant would have to make a specific CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 8 request to locate an off-premise identification sign on Lot 1, Block 1 adjacent to Magnolia if the City Commission felt that C-3 was the most appropriate underlying zoning for the remaining lots. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: Signage plans for individual building sites would be reviewed and approved at the final site plan review stage. Sign easements have been provided and identified on the plat for the two off-premise Menards signs. Landscapinq - Site Perimeter - The preliminary plan shows landscape plantings along the two public street frontages of the Menards site. The plan shows a 25 ft. wide landscape buffer or green space in the front yard extending along the entire Virginia Drive and Virginia Court frontages except for driveway openings. Individual landscape plans for Lots 1 and 3, Block 1 will be reviewed at the final plan review stage. Parking Lots - Proposed landscaping is shown around the perimeter of the proposed parking area and at the ends of parking rows. Landscape islands in the interior of the parking area have been provided in order to improve the appearance of the lot by breaking up the wide expanse of asphalt and also to provide shade for cars and the lot surface thus reducing heat build up. Islands are also located at the end of every parking aisle. The City's Landscaping Regulations require that 5% of the total parking area be set aside for landscape islands. Traffic / Access The primary design consideration for this proposed development was the geometric design of the Virginia Drive - Magnolia Road intersection (the need for dedicated turning lanes and accel/decel lanes) and matching the intersection to the existing access opening on the north side of Magnolia. When KDOT acquired right-of-way for the Magnolia interchange they also acquired restricted access along Magnolia except for a single access opening on this tract and the Wallerius property across the street. Since the access points to both tracts are fixed, staff believes that they need to match up as closely as possible to have a well designed, well functioning intersection. The applicant's engineer is proposing a 3 lane intersection on Virginia Drive with a dedicated left turn lane for traffic exiting this proposed shopping center. A third lane on Magnolia is being proposed to allow a dedicated left turn lane for traffic entering this proposed shopping center from the east. Providing adequate stacking space on Virginia Drive adjacent to Lot 1 will be an important design consideration in determining appropriate access points into Lot 1. It appears that adequate stacking space is provided at all the proposed exit points from the private parking lot. The 3 proposed driveway openings on to public streets are 30 ft. wide which meets city standards. Defined driveway entrances and the use of curbs and islands within the parking area on the Menards site should help disperse and channel traffic down individual parking aisles and discourage "cut through" movements in the parking lot. A 30 ft. driveway off of Virginia Drive would CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION NO: 7 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Development Services APPROVED FOR AGENDA: ITEM NO. Page 9 provide access to the lumber yard area behind the store. There is a 40 ft. shared access easement proposed along the east side of the Menards lot (Lot 4) that would provide access to and from Menard's parking lot as well as Lot 3 along the interstate. Planning 2 BY: Dean Andrew BY: As noted, fire lanes are proposed around the building for emergency vehicle access. Staff required the developer to prepare and submit a traffic study as part of this rezoning application. The study concludes that a traffic signal would not be warranted at the Magnolia Road - Virginia Drive intersection upon full build out of this commercial development. If the Commission is concerned that a traffic signal could be warranted in the future if Virginia Drive is eventually extended to connect with Schilling Road and that this development should be required to participate, there are a couple of tools that have been used to carry that out. One would be to require the developer to file a covenant agreeing not to protest the creation of a future benefit district to pay for installation of a signal if and when a warrant is met within a specific period of time. The other would be to place funds in an escrow account to be called upon in the future if a warrant for signals is met. Planninq Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this rezoning application on November 4, 2008. Following presentation of the staff report, comments from a representative of Menards and comments and questions from Commissioners, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this application for Planned C-5 zoning and the preliminary site development plan for Lot 4, Block 1 (the Menards site), including the requested fence height variance, subject to satisfactory platting of the property and the following conditions: 1. Development limitations shall be as follows: a. Development and use of Lot 4, Block 1 shall be limited to a retail store and lumber yard with outdoor storage plus those uses listed in the C-5 district regulations and shall be subject to all bulk and use limitations in the C-5 district. b. Development and use of Lots 1 and 3, Block 1 and Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 shall be limited to those uses listed in the C-5 district regulations and shall be subject to all bulk and use limitations in the C-5 district. c. Use of Lot 2, Block 1 shall be limited to stormwater detention. d. Approved signage for Lot 4, Block 1 shall consist of one (1) off-premise pylon sign on Lot 1, Block 1 with a maximum permitted sign area of 100 square feet and a maximum height of 15 ft. and one (1) off-premise pylon sign on Lot 3, Block 1 with a maximum permitted sign area of 600 sq. ft. and a maximum height of 70 ft.

The developer shall be responsible for the construction of Virginia Drive to the south boundary of the subdivision and all required improvements to the Magnolia Road - Virginia Drive intersection shown on the approved site development plan. 4. A final site development plan and final landscape plan for each individual building site in the Magnolia Commons Addition, including the detention pond site, shall be approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of any building permits for these sites. The site development plan for Lot 4 (the Menard site) submitted with the rezoning applciaiton is hereby approved as the final site development plan for Lot 4. 5. Development of each lot within the Magnolia Commons Addition, including landscaping, building elevations and signage shall conform to the approved final site development plan. 6. A building permit for Phase I shall be applied for within eighteen (18) months of the approval date or the approved development plan for Lot 4 shall become null and void and the zoning of the site shall revert to its former classification. 7. A final plat of the Magnolia Commons Addition shall be submitted and approved prior to final approval of a planned commercial district for this site. The Planning Commission offered the following reasons in support of its recommendation: 1. Because of its interstate street frontage and visibility and the commercial development on the other side of the interchange, the site is more suitable for commercial development than agricultural or residential use; 2. The subject site is across the interstate from existing commercial zoning and a change to PC-5 and/or PC-3 zoning would be compatible with surrounding commercial development; CITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE 2/22/201 0 TIME 4:00 P.M.

Theron Berg / Scott Nuttleman, Menards John Marietta Attachment A Comparison of C-5 vs. C-3 Zoning The C-3 district is designed to accommodate businesses that serve the entire city or region. The C-3 zoning district generally allows such retail uses as auto parts stores, discount stores and grocery stores. It also allows fast food restaurants with drive thru such as Wendy's. The C-5 district is similar to the C-3 zoning district in that it also allows uses that serve a large market area and allows various retail uses, but it is intended primarily to serve more intense retail and service businesses oriented to the traveling public. In addition to the uses allow in C-3 zoning districts, C-5 zoning allows such uses as boat sales, car washes, equipment sales and rental, recreational vehicle and truck sales and automobile sales. The primary difference between C-5 zoning and C-3 zoning, along with it's highway business orientation, is that C-5 allows a number of uses that involve outdoor display and storage such as used car sales, equipment sales and rental and contractor's storage yards. C-3 is designed to accommodate only retail shopping facilities and requires all storage and display of goods to be within an enclosed building. C-3 also allows less lot coverage (40% vs. 50%), less building height (35 ft. vs. 50 ft.) and restricts the amount of paving coverage in the front yard to 60% vs. 100% in C-5, although the city's landscaping regulations do apply to new development in both districts.

He was appointed to replace Margaret Yarnevich as one of the two outside the city representatives on the Commission. #1. Approval of the regular minutes of October 21,2008. The minutes were approved as presented. #2. Application #Z08-9, filed by Magnolia Development Partners LLC, requesting a change in zoning district classification from Saline County AG and A-1 (Agricultural) to PC-5 (Planned Service Commercial) and approval of a preliminary site development plan for a retail store on a 40 acre tract of land located at the southwest corner of Magnolia Road and 1-135. Mr. Andrew presented the staff report with visual graphics as contained in the case file. The Commission had questions of Mr. Andrew regarding items needing clarification in the staff report on the applicant's rezoning request. His answers are summarized as follows: 1. Mr. Andrew explained that the sign for Menards facing 1-135 is proposed to be a 70 ft. pole sign and the sign on Magnolia would be shorter and smaller. The size and height of the 70 ft. pole sign is not an issue, but the Commission would have to approve the off-premise location of the sign since the site plan being reviewed is for Lot 4 and the 70 ft. pole sign would be located on Lot 3. Salina Planning Commission November 4, 2008 Page 2 of 5 2. Mr. Andrew explained that since Magnolia Parkway did not connect with Magnolia Road and the names were conflicting, Magnolia Parkway was changed to Virginia Court. 3. Mr. Andrew stated that Virginia Drive would have a cul-de-sac temporarily at the south end to facilitate turning around until such time as the street extended on to the south. 4. Mr. Andrew stated that to the south, future commercial development will transition to residential some place north of Hollybrooke. 5. Mr. Andrew explained that Lot 2, Block 1 contains a detention basin. It was given a lot number for ease of description and also in the event a shared detention basin is placed somewhere else, it could be developed in the future. Theron Berg, a real estate consultant for Menards in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, explained their interest in the Salina market, their plans for the property and Menards construction timetable. MOTION: Mr. Mikesell stated I'd like to make a motion that we recommend approval of Application #l08-9 with the 7 conditions recommended by staff. SECOND: Mrs. Soderberg. VOTE: Motion carried 7-0. #3. Application #P08-6, filed by Magnolia Development Partners LLC, Premier Properties and Com.Co. of Kansas, Inc. requesting approval of a preliminary plat of the Magnolia Commons Addition, a proposed 4 lot subdivision of a 40 acre tract of land located at the southwest corner of Magnolia Road and 1-135. Mr. Andrew presented the staff report on the preliminary plat with visual graphics as contained in the case file. Tim Miles, an engineer from Wilson & Company, answered questions and clarified information regarding drainage at this site. The detention basin will have a lift station. They are looking at a combination pump and gravity system. It has a 36 inch pipe and has been designed to handle a 25 year rainfall event. The water flows north under the interchange, then after it reaches Magnolia it flows west in the Magnolia Road ditch to Dry Creek. Bob Eckholt of Magnolia Development Partners in Leawood, Kansas, the developer of the property, stated that they were actively pursuing additional retailers for the area. After a study of businesses near Menards in surrounding states, he said restaurants, banks, drug stores, and sporting good stores were all possibilities.
