The applicant has indicated there is a single-family residence along with six manufactured homes on the site located near the rear portion of the site. The: existing restaurant will remain and a new deck and parking lot will be constructed to the rear of the restaurant building. The applicant is proposing a deck and parking facility along the rear of the existing restaurant building. The applicant has indicated the deck to be attached to the existing restaurant with only one entrance to the restaurant. The deck is proposed as a wooden construction, following the style of the existing restaurant facility. The deck is proposed as 40 -feet by 40 -feet or 1,600 square feet. The existing restaurant contains 3,280 square feet. Based on the indicated square footage of the restaurant use a total of 48 parking spaces would typically 'be required.. The site contains approximately 28 existing parking spaces and an additional 20 parking spaces are being proposed with the new construction. The indicated parking is adequate to meet the typical minimum parking required for a restaurant use. The parking lot is proposed of S132 (gravel) with asphalt at a later date. Staff would support a one year deferral of the required hard surface material. The 5 February 16, 2006 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: G FILE NO.: Z-7969 applicant will be required to place materials to contain the gravel within the proposed parking area. The applicant has indicated fencing will be placed along the southern perimeter of the site to separate and screen the adjoining properties. The applicant has not included the nine foot landscape strip as required by the Landscape Ordinance. In addition the applicant has not provided the interior landscape islands. Staff recommends the minimum landscaping strip and interior parking lot islands be included in the final development plan. The revised site plan does not address Public Works concerns related to the existing driveways and spacing along Cantrell Road. Staff feels the lot should have a single driveway access with a maximum width of 36 feet to meet current ordinance standard. Staff recommends one of the drives be removed from the site with the construction of the new deck and parking lot. The applicant is proposing to utilize Stones Road as an access to the proposed parking area. A 20 -foot ingress/egress easement has been indicated on the site plan: The applicant has indicated a minimum of 20 -feet of driving surface will be provided to allow access to the homes to the rear of the site and to the proposed parking area. Staff is supportive of the indicated access. The proposed deck has been located 20 -feet from the western property line. The Highway 10 Design Overlay District typically requires a side yard setback of 30 - feet and a landscape strip of 25 -feet. As indicated the site plan does not meet either of these minimum criteria. Staff recommends the applicant move the deck to the east ten (10) feet to allow for the proper building setback and landscaping. All site lighting is to be low level, shielded and directed downward and into the site. The hours of operation of the restaurant are from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm seven days per week. The applicant has proposed the use of the deck will be limited to 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. The applicant has proposed music on the deck will be ambiance music with a maximum speaker wattage of 20 watts. Staff is supportive of allowing the deck and additional parking to be constructed as indicated above in this analysis section. Staff feels the parking should be paved within one year. The landscaping strip, interior islands and screening fence should be installed with the initial development of the parking area. The deck should be relocated to the east to allow adequate building setback and landscaping along the western perimeter.
