Primary Issues to Consider.
o What is the zoning of the property and the Comprehensive Plan designation of
the subject site?
The property is zoned B-3. A fast food restaurant is a permitted use with a conditional use
permit. The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as commercial.
o What are the conditions for a fast food restaurant in the Zoning Ordinance?
1. the site is designed and constructed to handle parking and traffic flow according to a
plan submitted to and approved by the city;
2. the site drainage is designed and constructed according to a plan submitted to and
approved by the city;
3. that screening be provided along the property lines to control headlight beams when
abutting an R residential district;
4 the lighting shall be accomplished in such a way as to have no direct source of light
visible from the public right-or-way or adjacent land in an R residential district;
5. that the front yard and side yard shall be landscaped with the front yard not less than
20 feet and side yard not less than ten feet;
6. that provisions be made to pick up the adjacent neighborhood daily relative to material
� initiated on the site.
The applicant will meet a11 of the above requirements.
o What are the specifics of the development?
Landscaping
At the staffs request the applicant has submitted the following landscape plans:
landscaping only the R.L. Johnson site
landscaping the R.L. Johnson site and the City property without an access to County
Road 3
landscaping the R.L. Johnson site and the City property with an access to County
Road 3
The Zoning Ordinance requires 20 trees for the site. The landscape plan has more than the
required number of trees on the applicants site. The plan shows landscaping on all sides of the
site and internal landscaping in the parking lot. The applicant will be irrigating the entire site.
Any landscaping on the HRA property will have to be approved by the HRA.
^ A landscape architect did review the proposed landscaping on the HRA site. He
recommended�that the landscaping is as far south as possible to accommodate the landscaping
CUP94-8
Page 3
with the County Road 3 improvements. The applicant will move the landscaping if
landscaping is put on the HRA property. --
City Engineer
The Engineering Department has reviewed the preliminary grading and utility plan and has
found it acceptable. There will be ponding on the area adjacent to l lth Avenue. When l lth
Avenue is upgraded and the additional rtght-of-way taken, the storm sewer will be upgraded
at this time to accommodate the drainage from this site. The applicant will have to get
approval from the Watershed District for the proposed plan. The City's consulting engineer,
Dale Folen from RCM reviewed the proposed drainage plan for the site. Overall the
applicants plan was found to be acceptable, with some minor changes as detailed in the
Resolution. Mr. Folen recommended that there is a barrier on the west side of the pond for
safety.
Fire Marshal
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans. The access is acceptable but the applicant needs to
verify hydrant locations for the Fire Marshal to review.
Parking
The site is required to have 64 parking spaces. The site plan shows 72 parking spaces. The
site plan indicates that some of the parking spaces are 9'x 18' with a two foot overhang. The �
Zoning Ordinance requires parking spaces of 9' x 20', the parking spaces on the site plan will
comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
Trash
The trash enclosure will be located at the east side of the site. The trash area will be enclosed
with a brick exterior. The trash area will also have Austrian pine on two sides that will screen
• the trash enclosure.
Access/Traf�ic
The access to the site will be from l lth Avenue. The applicant has shown another access to
County Road 3 using the City property. This access has been reviewed with the traffic study
and is acceptable. At this time the 9th Avenue access is an option for the HRA to consider.
Any access from County Road 3 will have to be approved by Hennepin County.
A traffic study was completed by the applicant. The traffic study concluded that the site
design as proposed would not decrease the level of service at the County Road 3/l lth Avenue
intersection. Benshoof and Associates also reviewed the applicants traffic study and
recommended that the building is moved to the east. The site plan has been revised to meet
the recommendations of the Benshoof review.

It should be noted that in the future a median may be e�ended south on l lth Avenue and will
limit the l lth Avenue access to a right-in/right-out.
Exterior
The exterior of the building will be brick.
Right of Way
Additional right-of-way will be needed for the upgrading of l lth Avenue. The site plan has
identified additional right-of-way to be taken from 11 th Avenue. The applicant will not
landscaped this area, but will sod the area. This area will also be used as a storm water
holding pond until l lth Avenue is upgraded. At the time l lth Avenue is upgraded, the storm
sewer pipe will be also be upgraded to accommodate the drainage for this site and the R.L.
Johnson 13 acre site.
Setbacks
The following are the required and the proposed setbacks:
Rec�uired Proposed
�-.
Front yard 20 feet 182 feet
North side yard 10 feet 56 feet
South side yard 10 feet 46 feet
Rear yard 15 feet 125 feet
Drive-thrus
The site plan show two drive-thrus, one for Wendy's and a second for Tim Horton's.
Benshoof reviewed the applicants traffic study and proposed to modify the site plan for more
stacking. The applicant revised the site plan and with the revised site plan there should be
plenty of stacking for the drive-thrus. The proposed site plan will have significant more
stacking than the McDonalds on Shady Oak Road.
Signage
The applicant has agreed to provide a monument for signage instead of a pylon sign. Details
of the sign has not been identified. Staff is recommending that the monument sign is approved
by staff. The site plan also shows signage on the west and north sides of the building. A
sign permit will be required for the signs.
...,
Sidewalk
The site plan indicates a sidewalk along l lth Avenue.

o What are the alternative site plans? ,
The following are the alternative site plans which would involve the HRA/City property north
of the subject site:
o Utilize the HRA property north of subject site for landscaping only. The
applicant has agreed to landscape and maintain the HRA property. (see site
plan L1.2) Staff would-recommend that if this alternative is considered that
there is an execution of an agreement between the applicant and the HRA.
o Utilize the HRA and City property north of the subject site for access and
landscaping. (see site plan L1.3) Representatives of Wendy's would agree to
provide the City/HItA the following in conjunction with the use of this
property:
o no pylon signage to be constructed
o provide HRA/City with $10,000 up front user fee payment
o deed at no cost triangular property east of the water tower
o deed at no cost the required future right-of-way on the westerly portion
of the property, east of 11 th Avenue.
o landscape and maintain HRA property
o construct at the applicants expense an access road from County Road 3
which would include an access to the City water tower property
o agree to move access from County Road 3 to 8th Avenue intersection --
at applicants cost if determined necessary and appropriate at a future
date by the City.
o execution of an agreement between the City/HRA with the conditions
above.
o reimburse the HRA from any difference between the approved value of
the City/HRA property and the right-of-way to be deeded to the City
along l lth Avenue
Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Conditional
Use Permit for only the applicants site. If the Planning Commission would prefers one of the
alternatives, staff will forward this recommendation.
