Dairy Queen June 26, 2000 page 6 • Parking For fast food restaurants, our code requires at least 15 parking spaces per 1000 sf of gross floor area. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the floor area. That is, 90% of approx. 1655 sf is 1490 sf, or 1.49 x 1000. Fifteen parking spaces x 1.49 = 22 spaces required. This site plan shows 22. • Roads, Access, Circulation There will be one driveway access to the Dairy Queen site on Northern Lights Blvd. Entering vehicles can either proceed into the parking area or turn right for the drive - through. Northern Lights Blvd., like the utilities, has not been dedicated to the City. This will be addressed as part of the final plat review. The City Council discussed the right of way width in 1997. While our current standard is 80 ft for a commercial road, the City Engineer in 1997 recommended 60 ft.. The Lino Lakes side of the 21st Ave. right of way will be dedicated as part of the final plat, as shown on the draft final plat. Work on completing this portion of 21st Ave. and Northern Lights Blvd. can begin with the completion of a developer's agreement, which typically is part of the platting process. The City Engineer's memo addresses these issues further. • Park Dedication The Park Board met April 3 and agreed to the cash dedication per City policy of $200 per 1000 sf. For the Dairy Queen with 1655 sf, the dedication would be $331. • Conditional Use Permit Findings As stated in Sec. 2 Subd. 2.B.7., the Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it can make findings that the proposed use at the proposed location: a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. b. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. c. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and/or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. d. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and
