+ Parking - No more than SO percent of parking can be located in side yards. The proposed site plan shows nearly all of the pa�rking located betwe�n the buiIding and Connelly Avenue. Additional landscaping has been provided in an att�mpt ta screen the visibility o�Fthe parking lot frorn the street. 4. Design Standards Building MateYials McDonald's has revised their plans from the initial subrriiital to reduce �ie a�maunt of EFIS on the building to less than 25 percent of the buiiding fa�ade. The buildin.g itself is now 100 percent brick and glass, while the arcade features around the front door and windows consist of an EFIS material. While EFIS makes up 41 percent of the front of the building, it comprises 18 percent of the total building fa�ade. Sidewalk The Code requires a six-foo� cancrete sidewalk to be built along both the County Road E and Connelly Avenue rights of way. The Code also allows the Ciiy to require cash in lieu of constructing the sidewalks to satisfy ihis obligation. The City is currently working on a plan to reconstruct the County Road E Bridge to include a pedestrian connection over Highway 51. In addition, the grade challenges in the County Road E righi of r�vay adjaceni to the McDonald's property creafe a financial hardship for the property owner if a sidewalk was to be required by the City, due to tlze need far significant grading and retaining walls. Due to the impending bridge reconstruction and the significant grade challenges that exist along County Road E in �his area, the Develop�nent Agreem�nt allows the City to assess at a future date the cost of constructing a six-foot concrete sidewalk along Connelly Avenue and County Raad E. The Development Agreernent siates that the City can assess up to the cost of constructing a six-faot concrete sidewaik on flat grade for the length of the County Road E and ConnelIy Avenue sidewalk segments adjacent to the McDonald's property. That dollar amount can then be used tawards ihe constructian of these sidewalks at the time they are consfructed.
