PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT:, LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 11 July 1984 1512-84 Doreen J. Priem Southwest Corner of McCarron Boulevard and Rice Street Variance to Parking S.tback Requirement 1. The property in question is an existing Dairy Queen Drive-in which has been located on this property for many years. They propose to add a new drive up window on the south side of the existing structure which will necessitate revisions to the parking area. 2. Attached is a copy of a site plan submitted by the applicant's architect indicating the proposed configuration for the drive -up access drive and the remainder of the parking area. You will notice that portions of the parking area now exist beyond the property line and within the public right -of --way for McCarron Boulevard. This is proposed to be removed and setback within the property line, but not adhering to the 15 foot setback requirement. Actually, if the site were to be reconstructed to conform to the 15 foot setback requirement for parking (contiguous to public streets) the site would not work at all. 3. They propose to construct new curbing where new portions of the parking area are developed. They also propose to add additional landscaping on the west side (in the existing green area) and add a trash enclosure at the southwest corner of the site. 4. There is a 15 foot easement along the south side of the property which provides access to the properties to the west. Though this access is apparently not used, the easement remains, and therefore, we recommend that no curbing be located so as to impede this 15 foot easement. 5. It would appear that thij proposed addition of the drive -up window can be accommodated without problem. Such facilities are common additions to "fast food" shops within the industry. 5. They are requesting then a variance to the setback requirements for parking contiguous to McCarron Boulevard and Rice Street. If granted, we suggest that conditions be added that: a. limit the variance to the period of time that the existing structure remains in operation; b. expanded driveway and parking areas be bordered with poured -in -place concrete curb; c. the south 15 feet remain unimpeded; and d. the development be constructed in accordance with the site plan dated 14 May 1984.
