* lighting plan building elevations, floor plans, and details (dated 1/12/98) colored photographs showing existing and proposed appearances * * 2.4 Redevelopment of the site will include the construction of a new 3,650 square foot McDonald's restaurant with a 1,500 square foot playplace area in the same general location as the existing restaurant. The new restaurant will have 130 seats (70 in the main restaurant and 60 in the playplace area), 85 off-street parking spaces, and a drive-through with stacking capacity. In conjunction with redevelopment of the site, the overall site will be improved and upgraded. Additional landscaping will be installed, lighting will be upgraded, a screening fence and berm will be installed along the west property line, trash collection facilities will be attached to the building and fully enclosed, and additional catch basins will be installed to improve site drainage. The exterior play area on the west edge ofthe property will be eliminated, with the property becoming part of the open space for the multi-family residential units to the west. 2.5 The exterior of the building will be a light colored stucco material with brick wainscoting, glass panels, and a mansard parapet roof. The playplace area on the east side of the building will have glass panel walls with brick wainscoting. The stucco material will also be extended up and around the top of the playplace area in order to tie the two building styles together. McDonald's is currently working on alternative building elevation designs which will unify the overall design, including roof line treatments and the use of brick columns on the playplace portion of the building. Building signage is proposed to be located within a sign band area above the playplace area, on the mansard parapet roof, and on the walls of the building. 2.6 McDonald's Corporation originally proposed to replace the existing non-conforming pylon sign in the same location; however, the sign will now be constructed in conformance with the City's sign regulations (20' maximum height, 30' minimum setback from the front property line, 10' minimum setback from the side property line, and 100 square feet maximum area). The amount of wall signage originally proposed also exceeded City's requirements (101 square feet maximum based on a east wall area of 726 square feet), but will be now be installed in conformance. 2.7 There is an access from County Road B across the western edge of properties to the north of this site from Burger King to Arby's. During the review of this request and discussion of the Arby's rebuild project, the concept of extending this access from County Road B south to the McDonald's property has been discussed by City staff. Having this access formalized through a City easement would be beneficial in that it would improve traffic circulation in this area and alleviate congestion on the frontage road. Because of existing agreements and other factors, it appears that the only way to acquire such an easement at this time would be through condemnation; however, the City should continue to discuss the concept of acquiring such an easement voluntarily with the owners of the properties as they redevelop.
