<br />____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 12 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />A. The operation consists of one or more drive-up windows and is an integral part of a building <br />containing one or more other allowed uses, or the operation is part of an architecturally <br />unified complex containing two or more businesses using drive-up windows. <br />B. Shared access drives and shared parking are utilized by all such businesses using drive-up <br />windows in said building or complex. <br />C. Only one building or architecturally unified complex containing two or more businesses <br />using drive-up windows will be allowed in addition to one freestanding business using a <br />drive-up window. <br />D. The architecture and the site, grading, circulation, landscaping, screening and signage plans <br />shall unify the appearance and function of the complex or building. <br />E. An architecturally unified complex may consist of one or more buildings on one or more <br />parcels if the intent of providing a unified appearance and function is not compromised. <br />F. The applicant shall submit a circulation plan that demonstrates that the use will not interfere <br />or reduce the safety of non-motorized movements, specifically pedestrian and bicyclists. <br /> <br />During the concept review, the Applicant was originally proposing a coffee shop/food and <br />beverage tenant for the northern endcap of the outparcel building. That triggered discussion on <br />possible traffic congestion, shared parking, and sufficient space for drive-thru stacking. The tenant <br />occupancy has changed as part of this review and the north unit will now be occupied by a bank. <br />The Applicant has stated that the change in tenant will eliminate the concerns previously <br />expressed. The proposal still includes a drive-up window for the bank on the north side of the <br />building. The Applicant is not proposing any electronic devices (i.e. loud speakers or menu board) <br />as part of this application. Customers accessing the bank drive-thru facility will go directly to the <br />teller/bank window for transactions. The applicant is requesting flexibility from this requirement <br />to allow the drive-thru component. <br /> <br />2. Traffic Study and Site Circulation <br />No new access is proposed as part of this review. The Applicant intends to utilize two of the <br />existing accesses and remove two. Access 1 is a two-way entrance that will be located on Grey <br />Fox Road in the same place as the existing. Access 2 is also existing and leads onto the alley on <br />the western boundary of the site. It is anticipated that vehicles will primarily use Access 1 to <br />access the site. The accesses located approx. 60 feet 400 feet west of Lexington Avenue and Grey <br />Fox Road will be removed. A traffic study has been prepared (see Attachment I for summary <br />section of report). The study reviewed existing operations within the area, evaluated traffic <br />impacts to the roadway network, and recommended improvements to the proposed development <br />site. It should be noted that this study was completed analyzing the trip generation between a <br />grocery store, bank, and fast food restaurant with drive-thru facility. With the tenant change, the <br />Applicant is not proposing to install the side street stop control at the site access due to the lessened <br />site intensity between the bank and dental clinic uses which they’ve noted should prevent <br />congestion in the parking areas. <br /> <br />During the concept review, the Applicant was asked to demonstrate how semitrailer traffic would <br />maneuver around the site for access to the loading dock on the north side of the proposed Aldi <br />building. The Applicant has provided as part of their submission plans illustrating vehicle <br />movements and pedestrian routes. Those documents are included in the site plan exhibits. These <br />plans are being reviewed by the Fire Marshal to ensure adequate spacing has been provided. The <br />City Engineer is also evaluating turning radius and may provide additional comment on site <br />functionality.
