Main Street Village page 12 restaurant building footprint is 4590 sf with the trash area and cold storage connected to the south end of the building. A drive through window is a permitted use in the GB zone. Plan revisions on the north end of the building show a patio providing access to the door and an outdoor seating area. The drive- through lane is immediately next to the door location and we will want to ensure there is an adequate barrier for safety reasons. The P & Z decided in December that in its view the City should not require Conditional Use Permits for the outdoor seating at McDonald's because it does not include waiter /waitress service. The commercial building architectural standards in the zoning ordinance prohibit EIFS from being closer than three feet to the ground, and EIFS must not comprise more than 30% of the front of a building. Changing the lower 3' would reduce the percentage of EIFS on the north (front) facade. In addition, the south wall does not include any differentiation of base- middle- top other than the cornice along the top of the cold storage and trash areas, which only extend across part of the building on that side. A few minor revisions would ensure the attractive features apply on the entire building. At the December P & Z meeting, the applicants exhibited a picture of a revision to this building that appeared to comply with City requirements. However, we had not received actual elevations or the description of building materials to ensure compliance. •Lot 1, Block 2, Kwik Trip With Car Wash (sheet A5 and others): Both buildings have red brick walls with tan brick courses for visual variety. The store has a wide stucco band as well. The metal peaks are green. The store is 21' high with 31' peaks. The trash enclosure is attached to the car wash. The store has base - middle -top features in varying degrees on different walls. However, discussion at the December P & Z meeting noted that the car wash building lacks such features. A motor fuel station requires a CUP, which includes standards for the canopy. A car wash also requires a CUP. These are discussed below. •Lot 2, Block 2, Retail (sheet Al): The large retail building has 4" precolored block, rock face block in two colors, and EIFS of several colors. It includes the base - middle -top design elements, though the west elevation color scheme was not submitted. This building is 22' high with arched features several feet higher. The trash enclosure is attached to the building. There is a drive - through window on the north elevation intended for a coffee shop. A drive through window is a permitted use in a GB zone. A patio behind this building shown on a previous plan has been removed. Our understanding is that table seating for a coffee shop would be on the sidewalk on the east side. The P & Z decided in December that in its view the City should not require Conditional Use Permits for the outdoor seating for a coffee shop that does not include waiter /waitress service. Signage: The submittal included signage specifications. We commend the early consideration of signage as part of the project design. There are several elements of this • •
