Page 3 Planning Commission Meeting June 5, 1985 intersection and some U turns would probably take place. Mr. Norstrom indicated that during the first few weeks of business customers would have some trouble getting to the site, but in time they will learn how to do it. Nostrom indicated that he could have a traffic study done for the upcoming council meeting if desired. Mr. Moeller asked how the proposed parking compares with the normal Burger King facility. Mr. Norstrom indicated that a normal facility has parking spaces in the mid forties, and that is typically adequate. Ms. Johnson referred to item no. 7 in the packet pertaining to roof sign, and asked where the applicant was regarding that sign. Mr. Norstrom indicated the sign would be similar to the sign located at their B-Snelling facility without the "Home of the Whopper" words. Burger King's intent is to not request variance to this sign at this time, but pursue it at a later time. Mr. Matson asked if the proposed signage was similar to signage occuring on new Burger King facilities in the metro area. Mr. Norstrom indicated the signs were the new style. Mr. Miller asked if they propose to screen along the railroad frontage. Mr. Norstrom indicated that a cedar board on board fence was proposed along the south property line, and that no screening was proposed along the west due to the very steep and high freeway slopes at that location. Mr. Wiski asked what the percentages of business generated by window and walk through traffic were. Mr. Norstrom indicated that 40% of business was by drive through and 60% was walk-in business, although these numbers fluctuate somewhat with location. Mr. Wiski asked if the two parking spaces proposed near Cleveland could be elimir..~1, <" _ r:.:~ ,,' ;~." 1\, ; :~;_.,:'..~,t they lnterided to use those spaces as employee/manager parking, so accessing them in busy periods was not a concern, and they felt these spaces were essential to their development. Mr. Matson asked for the peak number of employees at the facility. Mr. Norstrom indicated that a maximum of 12 people would be employed during the peak time at the lunch shift. Ms. Berry asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Norstrom indicated that with a breakfast menu, the facility would typically open at 7:00 a.m. and usually close at 11:00 p.m., but the drive through facility might remain open until 1:00 or 2:00 p.m., usually during the summer months only.
