Review File: Willy McCoy's Site Plan Review April26, 2013 Revised May 8, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Setbacks: The proposed outdoor bar exceeds the thirty-five (35) foot front yard setback and the proposed expansion does not encroach on the existing (and required) twenty (20) foot green space requirement adjacent to all public roads. 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 or portions of the area will not be allowed unless under reviewed and approved under separate permit. 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 nine (9) spaces, that leaves a total of 134 parking spaces. Based on the seating information provided (134 total seats), required number of parking stalls is 134, thus, there appears to be sufficient on -site parking. 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. Per the revised site plan submittal, it appears that there will be a net gain of three (3) square feet of green pervious area. 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. Both agencies have informed the City that they either find the proposed site plan acceptable (MnDOT) or have no comments regarding it (DNR). Conditions of Approval: Staff and Planning Commission are recommending approval of the Site Plan with the following conditions:
