COMMISSION iNFORMATION Sh-EE7 Application Vfo. 70061 `.. Applicant-: Ernst, Lane & Ernst. White Castle Systems, Inc'.. Type of Request Site and building plan approval for Lots 4, 5, 6, ?JS,. 9,, 10 and 11, Block 2, bane 's Brooklyn Center Nd6 it- .Jv^!; ,, commonly described as 6911 - 691.9 June Avenue, 4300-02 - 69th Avenue and 6900 - 690E 5rooklyzt Boulevard.. BA C7G R( UNT-1 The applicant is requesting site and building plan appr,, Ival, for a white Castle Restaurant; to be located at: 69t.h and Brooklyn Boulevard and site plan approval for an existing building (Rog and Jimes Food Mart) that is north of, and adjacent to, the proposed White Castle site. The sites are being developed separately., However., because the property .is in a single ownership and because the sites ..gave problems of a similar nature, for purposes of total V ite coordination and review, the plans are being considered concurrently. The plans as subakitt.ed are in carder for the most. part; however, special considered should be given to the following,? 1) T-he access onto June Avenues as proposed for the White Castle site; 2) A proposed w., cod fence in Lieu of a wall on the White Castle site; 3) White Castle proposal for a fence at the nori:.h property line while the property to the North has proposed a barrier of vegetation (trees-) 41t b16 underground sprinkler system shown on the Ernst, Large & Ernst site; `ss 7-he access onto June Averue as proposed for. the Ernst... "Lane 6 Ernst site.. 6) 7,imiting egress from bath sites for traffic that would be moving auto Brooklyn Boulevard i..n a souther .tY; direction.., - 2-- REC 0111D.ATION The staff, in bringing forth a recommendation in regard to this application, has addressed itself to factors that can be char.acter.iced. as: (1) General site conditions, and (2) ingress and egress and traffic circulation,. 1) General Site Considerations It is recommended that the screening devices can these sites should be of a similar character in both coast ru,ztion and durability. white Castle Systems has proposed a wooden fence to be located at the east property line while Ernst; Lane and Ernst has proposed a wall in the same vicinity. The Planning Commission and City Council. have, in past actions, recognized a wall of brick. and mortar construction (Re- Shopper's City, Davies water Equipment, Brookdale Chrsyler Plymouth, Burger icing) as a desirable screening device between commercial and residen.ti.a? development, It is recommended that the applicant be encouraged to construct: a brick or deco?_ativO block wall because of aesthetic consideration that should be given to the RI property to the east and the lasting durability of this type of construction. The applicant have proposed two different types of separation devices between their driving and parking areas. white Castle has proposed a wooden fence while Ernst,. Lane & Ernst has proposed ;vegetation (Scottish pine trees) to accomplish this separation. It is suggest,*.�cl that such separation devices can be effectively utilized to "soften" the effects of large expanses of parking a:ad driving areas and it is recommended that the separation device be of the same character and construction as 'ah.e screening device on June Avenue North. Ernst,, Lane & Ernst has not shown an underground sprinkle, - system on their site. The sprinkler system is an ordinan:e requirement and it is recommended that; the requirement be complied with 2) Ingress{. Egress and Circulation a. Brooklyn Boulevard The proposed :ingress and egress to the white Castle and Ernsto Lane & Ernst: site is acceptable with certain qual.ification_s Egress from the proposed access on Brooklyn Boulevard will be quite saoisfac-tory for those dega,rAS to proceed northbound. For those going sout:hboundr :it wi11 be necessary fox them to cross two lanes of traffic and then use the left tern lane to merge with traffic proceeding southbound. The proximity of the access location to the intersection of 69tb and Brooklyn anulevard does not allow sufficient distance to sat l8factarily make this maneuver. This movement shoaald therefore be inhibited by proper traffic signs (Right: Turn Only) L. White Castle Request for Direct Access to 69C tb Avenue Traffic intending to proceed south on Brooklyn Boulevard could use the signalized intersection at: 69th and Brooklyn Soul evard and obtain egress by way of 69th Avenue: North access :located at. the White Castle property line. It is suggested that: direct 69th Avenue North access will create problems as traffic on 69th Avenue .forth increases., Essentially, there may be a congestive effect at the signals which may block the intersection for short periods of time. c. WhiteCastle Request fOK Access to June Av�aue It is suggested that this proposal, in its present location at the northeast portion of the White Castle site, may have some undeeirable effects. Essenti.atlyA :it appears that vehicles heading southbound with a 69t1h Avenue North destination could utilize the White Castle property as a short cut to avoid the intersection of 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard. This should be a concern of the applicant (White Castle) for obvious reasons, but beyond that consideration,, it can be viewed as a traffic hazard that: should be avoided if at all possible,. .Another consideration in regard to this access is tie desirability of encouraging commercial traffic to util.a e local streets of a residential character. Tt would appear that a curb cut on June Avenue i!properly located assuming ,there would be increased noise and traffic, could diminish the residential character of the June Avenue neighbcrhoad.. in the case of White Castle it should be pointed out that it will be a 24 }your operation with volumes of traffic ghat will probably exceed existing development--s;. Thus„ location of curb cuts, if any, should be considered in view of the type and intensity of the land use. d, Ernst, Lane & Brnst Request for Access to 69th Avenue North via June Avenue The access to June Avenue from the Ernst, sane & Ernst parcel is desirable if southbouhd movements from Br00%lyn Boulevard access location is to be discouraged., in the case of this access, it may be proper because there is no other ingress and egress points other than Brooklyn Boulevard. A .Tune Avenue access would allow proper traffic circulation within the parcel. Vnile at the same time providing an access point fcr southbound traffic. However, as is the vase with the June Avenue curb cut- requested by White Castle, there is the question of the desirability of cor-miercial traffic utilizing local residential streets. eo June Avenue Access not Requested by the Ap2licant In the event that it would be determined that the proposed curb cuts at 69th Avenue North .3r June Avenue are not acceptable, it is suggested that curb cut at June Avenue +/- 50 feet from the 69th Avenue North row lire may be a reasonable alternative:: The applicants have not acquiesced to such circulation and alignment because it would require an opening between the parki ag areas on both sites., it is the contention of each i:hat the developments are unique unto themselves and should be considered separately in regard to parking and access provisions. However, for the purpose of traffic control and circulation, it would appear that the curb cut. on Jun.a Avenue at this point (assuming there is no direct access to 69th Avenue North) would somewhat diminish the congestive probability at 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard because of the greater distance between the curie cut- grid the iatex. ye,�titan. it is recognized that this curb cut would pud. conuiaercial traffic on June Avenue, but because of its proximity -co the intersection of June and 69th Avenue North, the adve.n : o..: northbound traffic utilizing June Avenue would be som(-:�whatl d lm:inisheJ ..
