This property will be immediately west of the area of land that was \ reserved for Long Cadillac for parking and expansion of the Long Cadillac! agency. The property has a frontage of 360.32 feet and orients toward 1 the Highway 36/I-35W interchange to the southwest. The property is zone9 ,~ 3-18, which allows a restaurant of over 5.000 square feet and requires . ~site plan approval. - 2. Victoria Station is a franchise, full-service restaurant developed initially in the San Francisco area. The early restaurant design and most of the new designs feature the use of old railroad boxcars (and a caboose) in the design of the restaurant. The buildings are handsomely done and have been very successful in other parts of the country. They propose to build two immediately in the Metropolitan area, one in Roseville and one in Bloomington. The building has 7~650 square feet of area with a seating capacity of approximately 216 seats. They propose a parking accommodation of 113 spaces~ exceeding the ordinance requirements. 3. Attached to this report is a copy of the site plan~ and its relationship to the frontage road along Highway 36. The site plan conforms to or exceeds all minimum requirements of the ordinance. 4. The applicant~ have prepared large scale drawings of the landscape plan~ drainage, and elevations of the structure. The architect and representatives of the Victoria Station people have been most helpful in working with the staff in adjusting plans to conform to the site conditions and other areas of concern. We feel the plan as proposed is an excellent solution and will work extremely well on the site. Adjustments have been made in this plan and that of the Mother Tucker Restaurant site in the northwest so as to coordinate the grading and planting of these two contiguous sites. 5. We suggest that the development of the Victoria Station Restuarant and that of the Mother Tucker Restaurant site contiguous to it will be a highly successful combination done in accordance with the adjusted plans for both developments. .
