Parking, Loading and Circulation – Flexibility Requested Parking requirements for fast food restaurants include 15 stacking spaces for each customer pick- up window plus one space for each 2 seats. This use requires a total of 58 parking spaces and 15 stacking spaces. The applicant is proposing a total of 50 parking spaces and 40 stacking spaces. The parking lot has been configured to maximize circulation and minimize backups given the drive-thru facility. Access to the parking lot will be provided via a one-way entrance off Red Fox Road and a one-way exit onto Red Fox Road. J. Drainage, Wetlands and Flood Plain – Meets Requirements The city code requires stormwater management be provided to meet water quantity, infiltration, and water quality requirements. The application identifies the construction of a stormwater pond located to the north of the building. Prior to the issuance of a land disturbance permit, the Applicant shall submit an operation and maintenance plan for the long-term care of all on-site and off-site stormwater facilities. K. Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed one freestanding sign measuring up to 100 square feet in area and not exceeding 16 feet in height. The Applicant would like to utilize the monument sign standards previously approved in the original PUD. The approved monument signs measure 26 feet in height and have a total sign copy area of 171.9 square feet (see Attachment F). L. Sign Code – Meets Requirements This proposal includes freestanding signs, wall signs, and drive-thru menu boards, The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing Perkins sign on the north side of the property by changing the sign face. A freestanding sign is also proposed at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Red Fox Road. This sign is 16’ in height and includes 57 square feet of sign area. The applicant is proposing two styles of wall signs, one 35 square feet in area and one 57 square feet in area. Both styles are internally lit. One of these signs will be located on each face of the building, as shown in the Sign Plan (Attachment F). There are two drive-through menu boards located along the northwest side of the drive-through lane. The menu board is 6.5’ in height and approximately 32.5 square feet in area. M. Traffic Study A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment G). The study reviewed existing operations within the area, evaluated traffic impacts to the roadway network, and recommended improvements to the proposed development site. In summary, the proposed development is expected to generate approximately 200 a.m. peak hour, 163 p.m. peak hour, and 2,352 daily site trips. Results of the year 2023 build operations analysis indicate that all intersections are expected to operate at a LOS C or better during peak hours. With the Lexington Avenue reconstruction project, the Lexington Avenue/Red Fox Road intersection is expected to continue to operate at a LOS C during the p.m. peak hour. The report concludes the proposed development would not result in significant degradation in peak period traffic operations and level of service.
