Mr. Williams moved to continue petition 2021-22 to the September 20, 2021 BZA meeting; second by Mr.
Murray. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
NEW BUSINESS
2021-23 MENARD, INC. Variance to reduce the amount of required parking spaces from 515
spaces to 418 spaces. Property located at 2850 S. GREASY LN,
Mr. Williams moved to hear and approve the petition; second by Mr. Murray. Tyler Edwards, agent for the
petitioner, presented the petition.
Mr. Edwards stated that the parking variance request comes from a proposed project to move the
existing yard entrance roughly 50) closer to the front of the building. This project would include a new
customer pick-up area for online orders. He stated that the parking spaces in this area are typically fuli
100% of the time because EVtenards employees park there. The empioyees would be required to use the
designated employee parking spaces at the end of the parking lot following this project. Although the
overail request is for relief from almost 100 parking spaces, they would actually only be taking away 24
existing parking spaces. Mr. Edwards does not believe that basing parking requirements off of gross floor
area makes sense for Menards stores because of the nature of their products and customers. Menards
does not typically instaii more than 400 parking spaces in any of their locations and they are perfectly
comfortable with this reduction request.
Mr. Murray pointed out that even though the variance application states that Menards stores oniy use
roughly 300 parking spaces during peak hours, he has personally been to this location multiple times
when every existing parking space was being used. He has had to park on the grass more than once
while visiting this store. Mr. Murray asked if the second floor addition in the store was included in the
square footage calculation and Mr, Edwards stated it was not. Mr. Murray asked why the request was for
more than 24 parking spaces since that is technica!ly ali they'!! be taking away with the proposed project.
Matthew Shively stated that the request reflects the complete change that is required by code. The
existing parking already does not meet current parking requirements but to stay consistent with the
purpose of the request the overall required parking number was included. Mr. Bogan clarified that there
are currently 442 parking spaces onsite and for an unknown reason the current parking was approved
during previous building permit processes without a variance.
The Board voted by ballot:
1) 5 yes 0 no. Petition GRANTED,
The next meeting of the Lafayette Board of Zoning Appeals wili be on Monday, September 20, 2021 at
4:00 W. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, the meeting was
