Bill No 07-18-Menard,Inc. Petition to Vacate
Tom O'Neil, Menard Inc. with offices located at 5101 Menard Drive, Eau Claire, WI, stated, I'm
here on behalf of Menards requesting the vacation of the southern-most portion of St. Joseph
Street. We've been working for almost ten(10)years to assemble enough properties to replace our
existing store further to the east. It has been a long time coming but with the acquisition of the
former K-Mart property, an acre of additional commercial property, several residences and vacant
parcels that were comprised of remnant land occasioned by the Fellows Street overpass, and the
INDOT right-of-way we have acquired, we've assembled enough property together to complete
this. This is one (1) of our final steps in gaining enough acreage for our new site planning for our
new store.
Councilmember Dr. David Varner stated, I know many have been anticipating this move and I
thank you for your efforts.
Committeemember Jo M. Broden asked, And this is a street and not an alleyway, correct?
