2. Right now that's a pretty tight turn. Will it work for the traffic volume expected for
a drive -through?
A. You're right, it's a tight turn. We will be widening this driveway to about 36 feet in
width and softening the turning radii to provide an easier right turn off North
College Avenue which is also State Highways 287 and 14 combined. With the
truck traffic, we are aware of the nature of the traffic on the highway and turning
right without the benefit of an exclusive right -turn deceleration lane.
3. Any problem with mixing traffic for multiple businesses with one driveway?
A. Not really, but we will be adding striping to help direct drivers to either north
(carwash and storage) or south (drive -through restaurant).
4. With the median, it looks like access will be controlled and limited to southbound
traffic only. Is that the case?
A. Yes, our driveway will be limited to right-in/right-out only turns.
5. Will there be access north into McDonald's and the fuel facility?
A. Not at this time. An access easement is in place on the carwash property, which
we own, that continues north to the south property line of McDonald's but they
have to agree to make the connection. We have not yet contacted them about
this possibility but plan on doing so as part of this process.
6. With no end -user, will you build a speculative restaurant?
A. No. Our approach is to entitle the site per the City's standards through the
normal course of the development review process. After entitlement, we may sell
or lease to an end -user. If the end -user needs to make changes to the approved
plans, then the City has a Minor Amendment process in place for that purpose
but only as long as the proposed amendments do not change the character of
the entitled plan.
7. Will there be enough stacking onsite without spilling over into the access
driveway?
A. Yes, we think there is sufficient stacking onsite. If the stack lane is too long,
customers will either drive on past or pull in to park.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING
PROJECT: 1603 — 1605 North College Avenue — Drive -Through Restaurant
LOCATION: Same
DATE: March 24, 2016
APPLICANT: Chad Hirschfield
CONSULTANTS: Russ Lee, VF Ripley
Cody Snowden, Northern Engineering
CITY PLANNER: Ted Shepard, Chief Planner
The meeting began with a description of the proposed project. As proposed, the project
consists of developing the vacant parcel at 1603 — 1605 North College Avenue for a
drive -through restaurant. The parcel is .69 acre and just south of the carwash. The
name of the drive -through restaurant is not known at this time. The building would be
approximately 2,500 square feet in size. The drive -through lane would be on the south
side of the building. There would be roughly 34 parking spaces. An outdoor patio is
included. Access from North College would be shared with the carwash to the north.
The site zoned C-S, Service Commercial. On August 19, 2010, the Planning and
Zoning Board approved a P.D.P. for Taco Johns drive -through restaurant on this site.
Taco Johns then withdrew their request prior to completing final review.
Unless otherwise noted, all responses are from the applicant or consulting team.
Questions, Comments, Concerns
1. Will the access driveway be shared with the carwash?
A. Yes, the existing driveway off North College Avenue that presently serves the
carwash and storage facility will also serve the proposed drive -through
restaurant.
