• Dairy Queen April 12, 2000 page 5 11. Joint powers agreement regarding 21st Ave. This agreement is now in place. • Utilities Sanitary sewer and water service exist in the Northern Lights Blvd. alignment. However, an easement must be dedicated to the City in this alignment. The utilities themselves have not yet been dedicated to the City. This will be reviewed as part of the final plat approval. An easement for utilities in the future Northern Lights Blvd. location is shown on the draft final plat. Stormwater management must be properly addressed. The current ditch draining east to a pond near the freeway was a temporary measure. Complete stormwater facilities must be constructed to accommodate the Dairy Queen project. The City Engineer's memo addresses these issues further. • 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.
