Berg n, " ayor • STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM 6.C.iii Paul Bengtson October 24, 2005 Conditional Use Permit Final Plan Betty's Pies Legacy at Woods Edge The Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a single tenant restaurant within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists of the building plans for the restaurant building as well as the final plat for the lot (Village No. 4). •etty's Pies is a full service restaurant that meets the intent of the city's vision for a family oriented, neighborhood gathering place in the new mixed use downtown. Owners Marti Sieber and Carl Ehlenz run the Two Harbors, Minnesota, destination restaurant and this will be their first expansion into the metro area. The overall area of the building will be 7,935 square feet. The majority of the building itself is single story, with the exception of an office area which is located over the center section of the building. The Planning and Zoning Board continued this item at the September 14th regular meeting, and offered up comments to both staff and the developer about the proposal. Numerous revisions have been made to the plans and are addressed throughout this report. ANALYSIS Governing Plans This site is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is therefore subject to the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide that was adopted by Ordinance 04 -04 as part of the original Planned Unit Development for the site. The layout generally follows the original Legacy at Wood's Edge layout, with the exception of the combination of lots 3, 4, and 5 to create two lots. The main entry of the building will be from the parking lot, which is • atypical for this type of urban development. However, the plaza that is being proposed in combination with the outdoor dining area and the walkway from the street into the site has been determined to sufficiently act as an • Betty's Pies, page 3 1.

A minimum width of thirty -six (36) inches shall be provided within aisles of the outdoor dining area. h. Storage of furniture shall not be permitted outdoors between November 1 and March 31. Outdoor furniture that is immovable or permanently fixed or attached to the sidewalk shall not be subject to the storage prohibition of this section. However, any immovable or permanently fixed or attached furniture must be approved as part of the administrative permit application. i. Refuse containers shall be provided for self - service outdoor dining areas. Such containers shall be placed in a manner which does not disrupt pedestrian circulation, and must be designed to prevent spillage and blowing litter. Staff has reviewed the application for the Conditional Use Permit in regards to the conditions above and the proposed use can clearly meet all of the conditions as is proposed. Attached to the report is an exhibit depicting the outdoor dining area layout. Building Massing & Placement The proposed building is within a portion of the development that requires build -to lines, specifically for this site a maximum 5 foot setback is prescribed and is being substantially met with this proposal. The only section of the building that does not specifically meet the 5 foot maximum setback is the portion of the site designated for outdoor dining and plaza. This meets the standards of the build to line which require a minimum of 70% of *he block to meet the build -to lines, and up to 20% can be plaza/park areas. Betty's Pies, page 4 •Along the build -to line the building is also required to have a minimum height of 20 feet. The proposed elevations depict the parapet walls (the lowest point) at a height of 20 feet, with additional height being supplied to the structure thanks to the retaining wall on the street side of the site. The height of the building never exceeds 40 feet, even when measured from the base of the retaining wall to the very peak of the highest roof. Architectural Standards The relationship between the building and the street is required to be accentuated by expressive wall faces, with a minimum of 60% of the wall face being windows, doors, or arcades. The proposed elevations meet or exceed all of those requirements. Due to the grade differences of the site and the adjacent sidewalk, as well as the location of parking for the property, the primary building entry is being placed on the parking lot side of the building. While this does not specifically meet the standards of the guidelines, the location of the outdoor dining as well as the design of the connecting walkway /plaza creates an entry feature not only for this building, but also for the adjacent building and the entire interior of the block. The tower elements proposed for the building clearly accentuate the two main public entrances for the restaurant. Due to the grade differences between the site and the pedestrian streetscape, the scale of the building is slightly �exaggerated; however the revised plans address this separation between the streetscape and the building with uilding fenestrations; the integration of the retaining wall into the structure itself; and the outdoor dining area/plaza entry feature. The base of the structure is clearly articulated through the use of a stone veneer applied at a variety of heights ranging from 1 foot to almost 16 feet when integrated into the retaining wall portion on the southwest corner of the building. The top is also clearly articulated with the use of bracketing below all areas proposed with roofs above; with the parapet element that mimics the accentuation of the cementitious wall board banding below the roof lines (Though this parapet element is slightly understated in mass it is appropriately integrated into the overall scale of the building); and with the stepping effect that is created by the use of both standard angled roofing as well as parapet walls above flat roofing. The parapet walls will also provide an adequate screening device for the roof mounted equipment that will be required for this type of use. The building materials proposed for the site include stone and brick veneers; cementitious wall board or E.I.F.S., and a prefabricated metal roofing material. All of these materials meet the stringent standards of the design guidelines, and are incorporated consistently throughout the building's elevations. The proposed structure has integrated a couple of climatic response devices that meet the design guidelines. Daylighting of the interior space is being achieved through the large number of windows provided, and is accentuated by the clerestory windows that surround the main dining area. Patrons of the establishment will also be offered shelter from the elements in the entry vestibules while waiting to be seated and the provision of shade umbrellas within the outdoor dining area. Betty's Pies, page 5 *he building integrates all of the necessary service areas into the building including the trash handling area, which is accessed through a roll up door on the north side of the northeast comer of the building. Parking Requirements Single Use Peak Hour Demand Net Floor Area (90% of G.F.A.) Parking Required Parking Provided Surplus 8 spaces per 1,000 s.f. 7,142 s.f. 64 93 29 Per Chapter 3.5 of the guidelines, the City is maintaining a shared parking analysis for the entire development. This analysis identifies peak parking demands at key times throughout the day. In the case of a restaurant the peak periods are identified as 8 PM on both weekdays and weekends. Betty's Pies Single Use Peak Hour Demand Parking Peak (8 PM Weekdays and Weekends) Parking Provided Surplus 8 spaces per 1,000 s.f. 57 93 36 The proposed use is clearly being provided enough parking within the parking lot layout that the applicant has proposed with this application. il' -ntire Block Single Use Peak Hour Demand Parking Peak (1 PM Weekdays) Parking Provided Surplus Varies 402 405 3 The shared parking spreadsheet has been adjusted to match the proposed building layout for this entire block, specifically the buildings for lots 3, 4, and 5 have been adjusted to reflect only two users. The shared parking spreadsheet is based on the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Standards and as is required by the Development and Design Guidelines. As always, staff will continue to review each project to maintain the parking standards within this block as well as the entire development. Staff has included a condition requiring that the developer work with staff to identify an appropriate location for bicycle parking facilities on this block. Landscaping Requirements The submitted plans meet all of the landscaping requirements of Chapter 3.6, including the number of Parking Lot Trees, the height of retaining walls, and the design of the connecting walkway between the main entrance and the street right -of -way. As previously mentioned in the Parking section of the report, the site plan indicates a total of 93 parking spaces. This means that the 12 trees provided throughout the lot exceeds the requirement of 1 tree for every 10 parking spaces. The parking lot does not abut any public streets, so no additional landscaping buffer is required in that regard. The overall plan for this block will include roughly 288 parking spaces, which does not meet or exceed ikhe threshold of 300 spaces which would require the implementation of connecting walkways throughout the arking lot. Betty's Pies, page 6 •The plaza entry provided from the Town Center Parkway streetscape adequately functions as a `connecting walkway' to the main entry of the building. This connecting walkway exceeds the six foot width requirement; is to be constructed out of decorative pavement; and will be planted with shade trees spaced 25 feet on center. The lighting will be built directly into the steps leading from the streetscape to the plaza, and with a decorative light fixture matching the city's fixtures for the streetscape. All of the landscaping materials proposed as a part of the planting palette for the site satisfy the comments of the Environmental Board as well as city staff. Lighting The photometric lighting plan submitted with the application is in conformance with the minimum standards of Chapter 3.7 of the guidelines. The parking lot fixtures do not meet city standards and are being conditioned to be replaced by shoebox fixtures. The parking lot lighting that will be used for this phase of development must be repeated throughout this block, if not throughout the entire Legacy at Woods Edge project area. The building itself will include some architectural and building entry lights mounted directly to the building. These fixtures will be used to highlight the building massing and will enhance the pedestrian environment. Additionally, as was discussed in the landscape section of the report, a decorative lighting fixture is indicated within the plaza entry area on the southeast corner of the site. En ineerin The city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project is Short Elliot Hendrickson (S.E.H.), and a memorandum including all of their comments is attached to the report. Any outstanding issues will be addressed through the site performance agreement and building permit process prior to construction. Final Plat The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) is attached to the same agenda as a separate item, and a condition will be added to this review that the final plat must be approved prior to City Council approval for this building. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed this application at the August 31st regular meeting. Their comments are attached and are addressed in the landscaping portion of this report. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this project at the October 12, 2005 regular meeting, recommending approval subject to the conditions included in this staff report. • Betty's Pies, page 7 • OPTIONS 1.
