City Council April 14, 2003 DQ Grill & Chill Site Plan Review & CUP • Green Area • The revised plans show 25.5% of the site area as green area in conformance with the district provisions. Access /Circulation Access to the site from Lake Drive (C.S.AH. 23) is via either Apollo Drive or the secondary entrance at Market Place Drive. A private road connecting Apollo Drive and Market Place Drive borders the eastern side of the site. An entrance /exit driveway from the site connects to this road. As stated in the Engineer's report potential queuing or stacking of drive through service traffic into the driveway entrance area and neighboring street is a possible concern. To mitigate this concern the plans have been revised to show the relocation of the ordering Kiosk westerly to accommodate additional stacking. Additionally, the drive - through exit has been extended slightly further south, eliminating one parking space, to route existing traffic through the parking lot more uniformly. Accessory drive - through facilities are subject to the following requirements: 1. The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area so as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. Comment: The Site and Building Plans are consistent with the approved Market Place PDO. 2. At the boundaries of a residential use or district, a strip of not less than ten feet shall be landscaped and screened in compliance with Section 2, Subd. 4.S. of this Ordinance. Comment: The site does not abut any residential districts. Landscaping will be provided around the perimeter of the site in accordance with the approved Market Place PDO Landscaping Plan. 3. Parking areas shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.S of this Ordinance. Comment: The site does not abut any residential districts. 4. Parking areas and driveways shall be curbed with continuous curbs not less than six inches high above the parking lot or driveway grade.
