• PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 6 June 1984 1503-84 Saga Enterprises, Inc. (Stuart Anderson Cattle Company Restaurant) East of Snelling Avenue, Northerly of County Road C (west of Com-Ten) Special Use Permit for Site Plan Approval Variance to Driveway Setback 1. The property in question is the northerly portion of a parcel of land that has previously been zoned B-IB when a shopping center development was proposed several years ago. The B-IB Zone requires site plan approval for any development to occur. Restaurants of area greater than 5,000 square feet are a permitted use. 2. The proposal is for the Saga Enterprises, Inc., doing business as Stuart Anderson's Cattle Company, to 'construct a 10,000 square foot restaurant with a seating capacity of 320. There are 150 car parking spaces provided, whereas the Ordinance would require 120 spaces at 12 cars per 1,000, or 11.4 at one space per 2.8 seats. 3. The applicants have prepared and submitted a series of seven reduced drawings indicating the proposed site plan, utility and drainage plan, landscape plan, floor plans, and elevations. These plans are attached for your information. The staff has reviewed the plans with the applicants on several occasions and finds that the site plan meets or exceed all ordinance requirements. 4. A variance was requested inasmuch as they propose to share a common driveway between the parcel that is created to be occupied by the restaurant and the remaining land owned by Bill Fine to the south. We suggested such sharing of a common access drive is efficient for both developments and should be encouraged as a means of developing this relatively deep property off of the easterly Snelling Avenue service road. The variance allows for the construction of the common access drive up to the property line, both north and south of the line proposed that will establish a separate parcel of land to be sold to the applicant on the northerly part of the site. 5. The applicant is also applying for a division of the land, with the lot line to be extended down the center of the common access drive as discussed. This line can be discerned on the second page of the attached drawings.
