Review File: Willy McCoy's Site Plan Review April26, 2013 Page 2 of 2 Architectural Standards: City Code restricts building height to 35 feet, the proposed outdoor covered bar will be twelve (12) feet in height, which meets City standards. City Code restricts exterior wall finishes to natural or prefabricated brick or stone or pre -cast concrete panels or some other material approved by City Council. While there are no walls associated with this structure, please provide a description of materials used for the outdoor covered bar, including roofing, as well as a description and sketch of proposed fencing. Please note that temporary, membrane structures to enclose the area will not be allowed, even in winter months. Off -Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking and maneuvering areas shall be surfaced with concrete or asphalt and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. Please verify that all proposed curbing will be B-6/12 concrete curb. Off -Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of retail space and one (1) space for every three (3) seats for restaurants and drinking establishments. Based on a review of aerial photos of the site, there appear to be 143 parking spaces existing currently. With the net loss of eight (8) spaces, that leaves a total of 135 parking spaces. Please provide the square footage for Willy McCoy's as well as the total number of seats for the establishment, including the proposed outdoor patio seating and bar seating so that Staff can verify if there is sufficient off-street parking available. Exterior Lighting and Sound: Any proposed lighting associated with the expansion and any outdoor sound equipment shall comply with standards set forth in City Code. Critical River Overlay District: A portion of the property is within the Critical River Overlay District and is subject to maximum impervious surface coverage of thirty percent (30%). However, in 2001, a variance was granted permitting up to sixty-nine percent (69%) impervious area. As long as there is no net increase of impervious area, another variance will not be required. Providing additional green space within the portion of the property that is in the overlay district or utilizing pervious pavers for the patio are two options to consider. If pervious pavers are utilized, a maintenance agreement, recorded against the property, outlining the ongoing maintenance to ensure that it continues to act as a pervious surface will be required. Other Permits/Agency Review: The site plan proposal has been forwarded to both the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for review due to proximity to Highway 10 and being within the Critical River Overlay District. The approval of the Site Plan will be subject to any comments provided by these agencies. Vehicle Turning Radius Exhibit: In addition to the Turning Radius Exhibit requested by the Fire Marshal, the same exhibit must also show the turning radius for vehicles, including semi -trucks and fire apparatus, leaving the site and entering onto Highway 10. The exhibit must indicate that vehicles will be able to exit the site without traversing into the inside lanes of Highway 10. Civil Engineering Comments Pending: You will be responsible for meeting with the City Engineer to ensure positive drainage of the site with the changes to the site plan. It is noted that the approval of the Site Plan is contingent upon successful review of a drainage plan.
