February 25, 1998 Plan Commission Minutes Page 9 help to lessen the visual impact and improve the appearance of the property. Recent approvals for the Schnuck complex’s and Hollywood Video’s buildings required that they be at least partially faced in brick. A condition should also be added to this project in order to set a standard for the area’s proposed and future development. Although the applicants show brick veneer on the plans, it is proposed only in a height of two feet which can reasonably be increased to a level to be determined by the Director of Planning. The electric service and the gas and electric meters should be located only on the southern rear side of the building. If necessary, conditions could be set concerning hours of operation. The chairperson has contacted the chief of police who indicated a preference to having the dine-in service end at 1:00 a.m but had no objection to the drive-through remaining open 24- hours. There is no consistent time of closing required and a survey of other conditional uses has shown that each has been judged on its own merits depending on type of restaurant and proximity to residential uses. The applicants have indicated that they plan to purchase the lot. Prior to the sale of the land, it will need to be subdivided from the Schnuck complex property under the provisions of Chapter 29 of the Municipal Code. Mr. Hill stated that if appropriate conditions are attached regarding the above concerns and to cover refuse container areas, litter control and odor control, the proposed conditional use will meet the standards for approval. He finds that the proposed conditional use will meet the standards for approval as set out in the Zoning Code, Section 34-56 if the conditional use is limited by the conditions listed below. Accordingly, he recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1) The operator of the restaurant shall regularly police the site and the area adjacent to the restaurant to remove litter and debris. 2) Trash containers for patron use shall be available on the premises at all times. Adequate refuse disposal shall be provided by and for the business. The refuse containers and surroundings shall be maintained in a clean condition. 3) An exhaust system shall be installed and/or other means shall be taken to prevent any food preparations odors or cooking odors from being perceptible beyond the lot lines of the property on which the restaurant is located. The exhaust system shall be maintained in a clean condition by regularly scheduled cleaning of the system. 4) The building and all signing shall be in strict compliance with the sign requirements of the zoning code. 5) Access to and from the site shall not be changed from that proposed under this conditional use permit application without prior approval of the City Council under Conditional Use Permit amendment. 6) The curbs required at the edges of the paving shall be portland cement concrete curbs. The site plan shall be revised to reflect this requirement. 7) A detailed landscaping plan complying with §34-92.6 of the newly adopted Zoning Code, shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for her/his review and approval. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved plan. 8) The site plan shall be revised to reflect a 4' high earth berm along the Olive frontage. 9) A black metal fence, similar to that currently along the north and west property lines, shall be installed and maintained along said property lines, except for the area used for ingress and egress. 10) The front and side elevations shall be partially faced with brick. The elevation drawings shall be revised to reflect this requirement and shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for her/his review and approval. 11) Rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from view. The electric service and the gas and electric meters shall be located only on the rear side of the building. wpoffice\wpdata\m-2-25.plc
