site Plan Review: Burger King August 27, 1996 Page 2 of 3 property line into the road right-of-way a few feet. As for the 17 foot 'no-activity' zone, the primary intent of that restriction was to prohibit the continued encroachment of outside display areas into the highway right-of-way. In this case the encroachment is a traffic lane for a drive-up window, which is not a permanent type use like an outside display area. The: site plan needs to be modified to include the species, quantity and size of plantings proposed to be estabished on the site. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts exterior wall finishes to natural or prefabricated brick or stone or precast concrete panels or some other material approved by Council. It is noted that the building elevations provided appear to be incorrectly labeled; what is shown as the east elevation for instance, is assumed to be the south elevation. Beyond that, the elevations indicate that the building exterior is to be constructed mostly of rock face block veneer and a portion of what is identified as the south wall on the elevations (but is most likely the west wall) contains a combination of the block veneer and architectural vertical metal siding. Staff is recommending denial of the application of vertical metal siding to the structure. waste Storage: City Code requires that ail solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The site plan identifies a waste enclosure consisting of rock race block veneer like the building. Off Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, the site plan should be mOdified to clearly reflect that all traveled portions of the site will be surfaced with concete or :bituminous, and the outer edge of all pavement will be finished with B-612 concrete curbing. Off Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 parking space for every 3 S~ats in a restaurant. In this case, there is seating capacity for 88 persons and therefore, the number of required parking spaces would be 30. The site plan identifies 55 off-street parking spaces, 2 of which are for handicap use. Lighting: Any exterior lighting on the sight should be noted on the site plan. Any lighting used to illuminate the parking lot, sign or building must deflect light away from public streets. Bulbs in excess of 150 watts must be so directed that the light source is not visible from off of the property. Drainage and Grading: Paved areas are proposed to be drained overland to a st°rmwater detention pond located in the southeast corner of the property. Overflow from thi? pond flows into the existing highway ditch system. Calculations should be submitted verifying the adequacy of the pond. It has been Mn/DOT policy to restrict the stormwater diScharge to the highway ditch system to pre-development conditions.
