City Council Meeting <br />January 2, 2024 Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />3. Alley access to drive-through lanes is prohibited on any block containing a residential <br />district, except for commercial deliveries when approved by the city engineer. <br />4. Drive-through canopies and other structures, where present, shall be constructed from the <br />same materials as the primary building, and with a similar level of architectural quality <br />and detailing. <br />5. Sound from any speakers used on the premises shall not be audible above a level of <br />normal conversation at the boundary of any surrounding residential district or on any <br />residential property. <br />6. An emergency exit lane shall be provided for uses queuing through the drive-through <br />lanes, without interfering with on-site parking/circulation. <br /> <br />Staff find that the proposed drive-through appears to meet conditions 1, 2, 3, and 6. Compliance <br />with criteria 4 and 5 are expected once a site plan is submitted. A condition of approval <br />contingent upon compliance with all the criteria in City Code Section 105.12.570 (b) is <br />proposed. <br /> <br />Another condition is proposed to require the Applicant to provide landscaping between the drive <br />through facility and the intersection of CSAH 14 and CSAH 15 to the satisfaction of the City’s <br />Landscape Architect. This is suggested on the basis that enhanced landscaping could help buffer <br />the drive through from that intersection. <br /> <br />Parking <br />Off-street parking is required consistent with City Code Section 105.12.410. Since the proposed <br />land uses and floor areas of the proposed buildings will be subject to change based on site layout, <br />tenant, or property owner needs, etc., staff will conduct a review of parking requirements at the <br />time of site plan review. <br /> <br />Signage <br />No signage is proposed on the plans or discussed in the Applicant’s narrative. The Applicant is <br />intending to install a subdivision monument sign, however the location is not known at this time. <br />Signage will be reviewed when requested by the Applicant or subsequent property owners. <br /> <br />Commercial Lot Performance Standards <br />The proposed commercial lots will be subject to other site and building design performance <br />standards which may not be mentioned in this report. Those standards include, but are not <br />limited to the City’s Design Guidelines Standards Manual, landscaping requirements, lighting, <br />parking lot landscaping, off street loading areas, etc. No flexibility to any City standards is <br />requested by the Applicant at this time. All individual lots will have to meet the performance <br />standards in the zoning ordinance at the time of permit application. A condition has been added. <br /> <br />Preliminary Plat Review: The Preliminary Plat was reviewed by staff for standards specific to <br />subdivisions. <br /> <br />Subdivision requirements: The subdivision has been reviewed according to City Zoning and <br />Subdivision requirements. The platted lots will meet City standards for areas and locations as <br />proposed. Driveways and access for the lots is consistent with City Standards. A Developers
