The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by the Green Mill Restaurant, on the east by a private road serving businesses between Brooklyn Boule- vard and Xerxes Avenue North, on the south by Farrell's, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. The property is presently occupied by the Happy Dragon restaurant and was the subject of Application No. 83039 by Zantigo Mexican Restaurants for a very similar remodeling and drive -up proposal. Nankin Express is defined as a convenience food restaurant under the City's Zoning Ordinance and as such requires special use permit approval. The proposed plan calls for 60 dining seats and 34 parking stalls. The parking formula for restaurants is one stall per two seats plus one stall per two employees. Staff have not received an employee count as requested, but presume it will be under eight. The plan also calls for a drive -up lane along the south side of the building and turning in front of the east side of the building where -the drive -up window is located. The drive -up lane is.bounded by a 3' wide concrete median, consistent with other drive-uplanes in the vicinity. Proposed landscaping consists of one new 2" diameter tree of unspecified type (consistent with existing species) at the northwest corner of the site, five unidenti- fied shrubs around the base of the freestanding sign at the southwest corner of the site, and sodding in greenstrip areas adjacent to the east property line. City Ordinance (Section 35-711) requires that off-street parking lots for over 6 cars across a street from residentially zoned property shall be screened in a manner ap- proved by the City Council. Staff recommend that such screening be accomplished with no less than honeysuckle shrubs planted 3.' on center in the greenstrip adjacent to Brooklyn Boulevard. Site drainage presently flows across the east property line onto the private access road serving this development and from there overland to public storm sewer in 56th Avenue North. Since all the businesses in this block of Brooklyn Boulevard drain in this same manner, no change in the drainage pattern is recommended. It should also be noted that the concrete median surrounding the drive -up lane will have a small opening as it turns around the building to allow water to drain into the private access road. Staff recommend that the median be widened on the east side to better delineate the parking stalls to the east of the building. Few changes are proposed for the exterior of the building. Wood corner trim to be painted red will be added to the corners of the mansards over the west, south, and east sides of the building. Also, windows along the west, south, and east walls, that were covered with aggregate panels by the present owner, will be uncovered. Staff recommend two additional changes. There is a low flat -roofed area above the kitchen on the north side of the building with no mansard around it. Roof -top mechanical equipment is clearly visible and we recommend that it be screened, con- sistent with City policy. Also, there are colored flourescent lights under the trim along the west and south sides of the building and colored spot lights on the mansard. Staff regard this lighting as being, in effect, signery which has never been approved. Our feeling is that it should be removed because it is not 5-10-84 -1- Application No. 84011 continued consistent with other restaurants (namely Arthur Treachers and McDonalds) which proposed such building treatments and were denied by the City Council. Altogether, the plans are generally in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations and any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. 2. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion of approved site improvements. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 6. Curbing shall be provided around all parking and driving areas in accordance with the recommendation of the City Engineer. 7. Colored flourescent and spotlights along the mansard of the building shall be removed prior to the issuance of permits. 5-10-84 -2-
