and since the zoning code's specific requirements for drive-through facilities addresses these concerns, the proposed drive-through facility will not negatively impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and general welfare; f. The drive-through lane and service window is proposed along the west side of the building which is the rear or the property, opposite of the Rice Street frontage; g. The site entrance nearest to an intersection is on Transit Avenue, 75 feet west of the rice Street right-of-way; h. Because the proposed drive-through facility is at the back of the building, near service doors and away from customer entrances to the tenant spaces,motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians should be able to co-mingle without safety issues; i. Based on the proposed plan, there is space for perhaps 5 vehicles, queued from the pick-up window,before the vehicles would cross into a drive easement along the western edge of the property. If the queue length or customer volume proves to be problematic, staff can work with the property owner to resolve circulation conflicts through such means as modified signage and pavement markings or additional paved area; j. The proposed drive-through menu board would stand approximately 200 feet from the nearest residence,but volume specifications for the speaker equipment will be monitored as any other potential noise nuisance to ensure that it is not loud enough to constitute a nuisance on the abutting residential property; k. The final design of the drive-through menu board and pick-up window has not been determined,but building permits will not be issued unless the selected design and materials are compatible with the primary building and comprise a similar level of architectural quality and detailing; and 1. Although business uses on Neighborhood- or Community Business-zoned properties lie directly west and south of the proposed drive-through facility, and the nearby residential property is presently screened with closely-spaced evergreen trees that appear to be at least 12 feet tall, the proposed drive-through facility may end up rather exposed to the residences across the wetland. Additional evergreen trees of the same or similar variety to the existing evergreens should be planted to further screen the nearby residential properties. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,by the Roseville City Council, to APPROVE the proposed drive-through facility at 2435-2459 Rice Street as a CONDITIONAL USE in accordance with Section §1009.02 of the Roseville City Code, subject to the following conditions: a. The applicant shall work with staff to address queuing of drive-through customers and internal circulation within the site when permits are issued and if problems develop in the future; and b. The applicant shall plant a variety of evergreen trees similar to the existing trees on the property to screen the drive-through facility from the residential properties Page 2 of 4
