C SE # O <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW; <br />CASE OF DOLPHIN FAST FOODS, INC. <br />By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Dolphin Fast Food, Inc. has submitted a site plan for the development of a 3,000 square <br />foot Burger King restaurant on the comer of Ramsey Blvd. and Hwy. #10. The following <br />items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Site plan <br />City Staff review letter dated August 27, 1996 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />Site Plans are not required to be subjected to public hearings and no notification of the <br />pending project was provided to area property owners because the lot to the west is vacant <br />and there are railroad tracks and public roads to the north, east and south. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The site plan proposes to retain and use existing accesses onto Hwy. #10 and Ramsey <br />Blvd. Because of the traffic congestion on Hwy. #10 and the proximity to the intersection <br />of Ramsey Blgd. and Hwy. #10, Staff is recommending eliminating the access from Hwy. <br />#10 and designing a larger, divided access on Ramsey Blvd. <br /> <br />The proposed project meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, setbacks, number of <br />off-street parking spaces, and screened waste enclosure. The site plan does need to be <br />modified as follows: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />clearly reflect that the travelled portions of the site will be surfaced with <br />bituminous or concrete and finished with concrete curbing; <br />identify species, quantity and size of plantings proposed; <br />identify any exterior lighting plan; <br /> <br />City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all public streets and in the B-3 <br />Highway Business District, there is a 17.5 foot no-activity zone along the Hwy. #10 side. <br />The site plan dOes meet the 20 foot landscape requirement along Ramsey Blvd., however, <br />that area reduces to 15 feet along Hwy. #10, which also means that the drive-up traffic lane <br />encroaches the no-activity zone by about 2 feet. The primary intent of the 17 foot no- <br />activity zone was to stop the use of highway right-of-way for retail display areas. In this <br />case, Staff is rcommending approval of the 5 foot deviation in order to retain as much area <br />as possible on the north side of the property for septic systems. The turf establishment on <br />the south property line can be extended a few feet into the road right-of-way to make up the <br />difference. As for the 17 foot no-activity zone, the traffic lane is not permanent type use <br />like a retail display area, <br /> <br /> <br />
