W <br />Generally, the overall site has improved. The total square footage on the entire site has decreased <br />from 26,000 s.f. to 24,500 s.f. Landscaping green area is approximately 1% less, due to the <br />configuration of the site and the Drive-Thru. We are coordinating our landscaping with the City <br />landscape plan for the right-of-way areas to insure a cohesive plan for the site. <br />Paving is 3% higher than before, again due to the Drive-Thru. Parking, although a variance is <br />still needed, has improved. <br />Previously, parking, based on what I understand of the size of the previous restaurant (approx. <br />225 seats) and. City codes, would .have required a variance of approximately 50 stalls. If Jersey <br />Mike's was factored in, that would increase to approximately 60 stalls. The new plan, counting <br />Jersey Mike's as a restaurant and placing a 3,500 s.f., 125 seat restaurant on the endcap, would <br />require a variance of 18 stalls. <br />'The previous approval stated that the parking variance approved was for 27 stalls. In either case, <br />the required variance has diminished. <br />The restaurant proposed is currently in discussions with the, .Boosters for pull tabs. The design we <br />have seen indicates an area for the pull -tab operation within the restaurant. <br />Overall, we feel that the new Site Plan and Restaurmmt size are more conducive for the property. <br />Parking is, by our calculations, closer to meeting City mquirernients. If the seating in the <br />restaurant is 100, the variance is only 8 stalls. Previous approvals already have allowed a <br />restaurant within 250 feet of residential and have allowed for the building setback variance. The <br />proposed building position lessens the need. for the building setback variance. <br />The building is designed to look like a four-sided building, thus enhancing the views to <br />residential and the "Gateway" corner of the city. <br />We look forward to working with the City of St. Anthony on this amendment. As always, please <br />feel free to contact me with any questions you may have on' this request. <br />Sincerel <br />Paul J. <br />CC: Gonzalo Medina <br />Jim Winkels <br />Mike Supma <br />
