The proposed structure is 56 feet x 49 feet and is proposed to be a sit--do,,yn restcrurant with pccommodations for 82 seats. i'h� cpr parking proposed now consist af 45 spaces, which excee�c�s the minimum number required i�y the Code �] per each tf�ree seats), jhe resta�ranfi is to be of sirriiiar design to an existing restpurcrnt at W}�i�e g��- q�,en�e and tnterstaie 94 (southeast quadrant). 5. The site plan shows a curved drive-way coming from Rice Stre�t northefily to the west side of the Country Kifichen site at a slope of b%. 7his isthe mctximum slope suggesfed pp�ropriate for this purpose 6y �-he staff. There still rema�ns a probfem with this slope in that access from this road to the remaining wesi�erly �and wi�l be very steep withaut consiclerable filling to achieve a 6°lo down-siope into the hole on i-he westerly properfiy. It would appear, ho�nr��r, t�pt access to this westarly land covid 6e achieved if the long narrow stip. �}>owned by ti�e appticant contiguous to Highway 36, were to !�e ad�ed to the �roperiy.

Our principal concern with respect to the site plan itsel� for the .Country Ki�h�n Restauranir, is the fact that fihe por[cing lof is pro�os�d fio b� an a greater tl�a� 6% grade slope from north to souih. This, we suggest, is a very undesirable condition for pe�r}�ose of provic�ing a safe efficienf porking pr�a �'ar fes3�QUrartt �ustomers under a!I w�ather conditior�s.
