McDonalds Development Review Planning Case No. 500-97 August 20, 1997 Page 3 that the McDonalds parcel is 487 feet from the closest edge of Rice Creek. This letter, dated July 12, 1997, has been attached. The grading and drainage plans have been submitted to Rocky Keehn, the City's Engineer, for review. In a memo dated August 7, 1997, Mr. Keehn responded that the overall impervious surface on the site will not increase with this development. However, because of the relocation of the building, the drainage patterns may shift, causing additional runoff in a particular area. The applicant has submitted revised drainage plans showing existing and proposed drainage flows, which have not yet been reviewed by Mr. Keehn. Staff will have a response regarding the drainage prior to your meeting on August 20, 1997. Mr. Keehn recommends that no water quality treatment methods be required for this development proposal due to site constraints. Landscaping: Much of the existing landscaping present around the perimeter of the lot will be retained. The landscape plan includes a planting schedule for the trees and shrubs to be added around the building and in the island separating the two curb cuts. Two larger evergreens existing near the front of the lot are proposed to be transplanted to the rear of the lot because of the shifted curb cuts. Rick Wriskey, the City Forester, has not yet reviewed the planting schedule, but will do so before your meeting on August 20, 1997 at which time I will verbally present his approval or any recommendations that he has made. • Lighting Parking lot lighting will be accomplished by four 24-foot tall standards, each with two 1000 watt metal halide lamps. The photometric analysis provided by the applicant indicates that the lighting meets the requirement as set forth in Section 1103.09 of the Zoning Code, whereby light from the property shall not exceed one foot-candle as measured from the centerline of adjacent streets. The Code also states that no bulbs may be visible from adjoining properties and that they be hooded or shielded to prevent glare. There was no indication on the photometric analysis of any wall-mounted lighting for the building. This will need to be clarified by the applicant. Signage: The existing pylon sign on the property will be retained in its present position. No other ground- mounted signage is proposed other than four small directional signs at the entries to the site. On the building front, there will be approximately 40 square feet of signage which will display the name of the restaurant. On either building side, the company logo will be attached to the wall. Both signs are approximately 20 square feet in area. Parking: Given estimated square-footages for the kitchen and dining areas of the proposed building at 1,000 square feet and 1,600 square feet respectively, the applicant would need to provide a minimum of 53 parking spaces. This total is based on the following ratios: 1111 Kitchen area (1 space per 80 square feet): 1,000 divided by 80 = 13 spaces Dining Area(1 space per 40 square feet): 1,600 divided by 40 =40 spaces Total spaces required: 53 spaces
