Page 14 of 17 F. The applicant shall submit a circulation plan that demonstrates that the use will not interfere or reduce the safety of non-motorized movements, specifically pedestrian and bicyclists. The Applicant’s proposal includes a drive-up window for the fast food restaurant on the west side of the multi-tenant building. Customers will circulate along the east side (i.e. Lexington Avenue) in two drive-through lanes to accommodate 28 vehicles. With the proposed site layout, the multi- tenant building will feature a dual drive-thru lane running along the east and north sides of the building. These lanes will merge to one lane on the west side of the building where the pickup window will be located. The outermost drive-thru lane will be designated for “pre-order” pickup and the interior lane will be for the traditional menu board ordering. Customers enter the car wash on the north end and wrap around to the west side of the property splitting into three (3) point of sale (POS) lanes before entering the car wash tunnel. Customers leaving the car wash tunnel are exiting on the north side in a circular traffic pattern. It is stated that the car wash will not have a towel dry service. As customers exit out on the northern end, they are immediately wrapping around to the parking spaces to utilize the self-service vacuum stalls that face the car wash. • City code states “electronic devices such as loudspeakers or devices, and similar instruments, shall not be located within 50 feet of any adjacent lot regardless of use or zoning district.” For Panera, the electronic menu board is shown on the north side of the building. Again, the multi- tenant building is setback 44 feet from the north property line. This need for flexibility was identified by the Applicant during the concept review. The schematics for Rocket Car Wash include an illustration for the point of sale canopy and island layout which is approximately 25 feet from the west property line. No additional information was included in the submittal on amplification or display features of the automated pay stations for the car wash. As noted above, the Applicant has reference to “smart signage” shown on the point of sale island layout, but has stated that will not be part of this review. Based on the location of the point of sale canopy, the Applicant is seeking flexibility from the requirement for placement of electronic devices. I. Snow Storage Adequate area should be designed for snow storage such that clear visibility shall be afforded from the property to any public street. The Applicant has identified in their civil plans a site plan for snow storage. They are proposing to store snow around the north, south, and west perimeters of the site. During the previous discussions, adequate snow storage and/or removal of snow was a concern with the proposed development. The Applicant had indicated that the upkeep of landscaping, parking lot maintenance, and snow removal would be shared services between the two properties. J. Traffic Study and Site Circulation The site currently has four access points to the Subject Property. The access closest to Lexington Avenue and the westerly access onto the adjacent property are being discounted entirely as part of
