M. Architecture, PA Location: 5512 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant, C. M. Architecture, PA on behalf of Magnum Development Company, is seeking site and building plan approval to redevelop the old Kentucky Fried Chicken site at 5512 Brooklyn Boulevard into a Starbuck’s Coffee Shop. The property in question is zoned C2 (Commerce) and restaurants such as being proposed are permitted uses in this zoning district. This restaurant is not classified as a convenience food restaurant, which would require a special use permit because the number of seats is less than 40. The site is 18,394 sq. ft. (.422 acres) and contains a 1,870 sq. ft. vacant building that formerly was a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. The property is bounded on the north by the 50’s Grill restaurant; on the east by a private (non-public) roadway lying between 55th and 56th Avenues north which serves as access to this site and neighboring commercial sites; on the south by the Brookdale car wash; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. The applicant’s plan is to demolish the existing building to its foundation and to rebuild a new 1,870 sq. ft. Starbuck’s coffee shop on that foundation. ACCESS/PARKING Access to the site will be generally the same as it was for the Kentucky Fried Chicken operation, that being from the private road to the east. However, the applicant will be modifying access to eliminate the northerly of the two access points in order to provide stacking space for the new facility. The internal layout for the Starbuck’s building has the order board and pick up window on the north side of the building rather than on the south where it was for Kentucky Fried Chicken. As indicated above, the northerly access will be eliminated, however, a break in the curb will exist for drainage purposes. The operation generally is a pick up and take out coffee operation with some additional food and snack items. Twelve seats are provided inside the building for year round use and some additional seating is provided in a concrete patio area to the west of the building. Thirteen parking spaces including one handicap space are provided on the south side of the site. These 13 parking spaces will accommodate up to 26 seats and employees. Additional parking could also be provided on the site if need be. Circulation around the site for the drive up facility is in a counterclock wise fashion. It appears that there is stacking space for four vehicles up to the order board and an additional vehicle at the pick up window. Parking and driving on the south side of the site is for two way traffic with the trash enclosure at the southwest corner of the site. Circulation around the site will be tight but appears to be workable. GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES The applicant has provided some grading, drainage and utility information to the City Engineer, who is evaluating the proposal and will be making written comments for consideration by the Planning Commission. An erosion and sediment control plan has been submitted including silt fences and silt fence barriers around catch basins during construction. The site is not required to have formal Watershed Management Commission review, however, the Director of Works is evaluating drainage and water run off. Generally the site will sheet drain as was the case for the Kentucky Fried Chicken operation. Repaving will be done, however, the applicant is proposing to maintain the underlying base. Parking lot and circulation lanes will be basically in the same location as previously. The Director of Public Works is recommending that any existing bituminous curbing be replaced with concrete curb and gutter. With respect to sewer and water services, the applicant plans to utilize existing services. LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system used to evaluate such plans. This .422 acre site requires 80 landscape points. The applicant’s proposal is to provide over 80 landscape points with the addition of four shade trees (White Spire Birch) within the green strip areas adjacent to the private roadway. Thirteen decorative trees are to be provided, ten of which will be located around the perimeter of the site and three close to the building. Shrubs such as Columnar Juniper, Deschampsia Bronze Veil, Taunton Yew, Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle, Golden Barberry, Slowmound Mugho Pine, Japanese Dwarf Juniper, Calamagrostis Karl Foerster, Gold Flame Spirea, Sporobolus Prairie Dropseed are provided in planting areas around the perimeter of the building, generally. Underground irrigation will be required throughout the site. BUILDING The applicant has provided building elevations showing the proposed exterior of the Starbuck’s coffee shop. The exterior will be primarily an EIFS of a colonial tan color. Brick veneer will be provided around the lower portion of the building extending above the doors and windows. The brick is to be colored endicott burgundy sands. A dark bronze metal coping of anodized aluminum will be around the top of the structure. The front portion of the building will be elevated higher than that of the rear with a parapet wall being carried around the building to provide screening for mechanical equipment. LIGHTING/TRASH The applicant has submitted a photometric plan indicating compliance with the city ordinances. They will be making use of existing light poles on the site. The major concern with lighting is that it be shielded and directed onto the site and avoid off site glare. The applicant’s plan appears to comply with these requirements. The site plan shows the location for the proposed trash enclosure. It will be located at the southwest corner of the site and will be a masonry structure of concrete block with brick veneer to match that of the building. Solid wood gates will be provided. The height of the structure is approximately 8 ft. RECOMMENDATION The plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to the following conditions: The building plans are subject to review and approval by the building official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. Grading, drainage utility and erosion control plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee in an amount to be determined based on cost estimates shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure the completion of site improvements. Any outside trash disposal facilities and roof top or on ground mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery, which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas as directed by the City Engineer. The applicant shall submit an as built survey of the property, improvements and utility service lines prior to release of the performance guarantee. The applicant shall provide appropriate erosion and sediment control devices on site during construction as approved by the City Engineering Department. All work performed and materials used for construction of utilities shall conform to the City of Brooklyn Center current specifications and details. 4-14-05 Page 3 Application Filed on 3-31-05 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 5-30-05 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2005-007 Applicant: C.
