Fast Food: 30 spaces/1000sq. ft. of gross area Since the proposed construction is for combination of eat -in and drive-through, we would suggest the following formula: 10 cars/1,000 square feet of net dining area 15 cars/1,000 square feet of net ordering area 1 car/employee at busiest shift Total: 16 cars Staff has reviewed this request and would recommend that the 28 +/- spaces would be adequate to serve the site. Circulation and Access: The property owner's architect has reviewed these plans with MnDot and determined that access will be limited to James Street. An in/out driveway arrangement is provided. The City Engineer has concurred that this arrangement is acceptable. The drive-through lane, however, should be setback 10' from the side property line as required in the Zoning Ordinance. Loading & Trash Handling: Trash handling areas are located on the site plan and will be required to be properly screened. Lighting: Off-street parking areas will be required to be illuminated so as to reflect light away from the adjoining properties. Signs: The proposed signs for the site appear to meet the requirements of the City's Sign Ordinance. Proper permits will be required prior to installation. Utilities: No utilities are available to serve the site. The property owners is currently working with a septic system designer to size the septic system. Additional area may be required but could be provided with a reduction in the number of parking spaces or perhaps a lease arrangement with U.S. West, owners of the exception area indicated on the site plan. This question must be resolved prior to issuance of any building permits. Grading & Drainage: A grading and drainage plan signed by a certified engineer will be required prior to issuance of any building permits. Storm sewer is available to serve the site so on-site ponding will not be required. Staff would recommend and welcome approval of the Dairy Queen site plan with the following conditions: 1. A building permit shall be required prior to any construction. The permit fee shall include 1% of construction costs to insure completion of site improvements. 2. Sign permits shall be required for all signage. 3.
