2.3 It is the intent of the applicant to demolish the play area and create open space for the multi-family residential use. Additional four-plexes may be constructed in the future, although the timing and location of such construction has not yet been determined. 2.4 The proposed reconstruction of the restaurant will require a conditional use permit, which will include a separate public hearing before the Planning Commission. The preliminary site plan for the McDonald's rebuild, which does not include this .54 acre portion of the parcel, was reviewed by staff prior to placing this request on the Planning Commission agenda. In particular, staff was concerned that this .54 acre portion of the parcel would be needed to meet off-street parking requirements. Based on staffs review, the transfer of the western .54 acre will not adversely impact the McDonald's parcel. In addition, the west lot line of the McDonald's parcel will now be in line with the commercial properties to the north. 2.5 During the preliminary review of the site plan for McDonald's, it was determined that several easements are needed. The water service for the existing McDonald's is provided via a north-south main on the .54 acre parcel being transferred. In order to continue this arrangement, a 20 foot wide private utility easement will be required within a portion ofthe .54 acre parcel being transferred. In addition, because public safety access to 2096 Fry Street is limited, a 20 foot wide access easement for public safety purposes is needed through the McDonald's parking lot, from the frontage road to a break-away barrier between the two parcels. The dedication of these two easements should be required in conjunction with the minor subdivision ofthe property. 2.6 A cross parking and access easement is currently located along the rear of many businesses in this area, from County Road B near Burger King south to Arby's. It has been suggested that this parking and access easement be extended to the south, across both the Kentucky Fried Chicken property and the McDonald's property. In order to do this, the barriers between Arby's and KFC, as well as the barriers between KFC and McDonald's, would need to be removed. By extending this access easement, the traffic congestion on the frontage road may be alleviated. 2.7 Section 201.07 of the City Code outlines the procedure for adoption of the City Comprehensive Plan, including amendment thereof. ~ STAFF COMMENT 3.1 In reviewing this request, staff has made the following findings: 1. The City's Comprehensive Plan map designates the entire parcel located at 2075 Snelling Avenue North as Business and the entire parcel located at 2096 Fry Street North as High Density Residential.
