Dan Smith/Perkins Restaurant CUP August 21, 1995 Page 2 Overview • Dan .Smith is proposing to construct a 4,415 square foot Perkins Family Restaurant and Bakery. This proposal can be viewed as "Phase 1" of the Elk River Retail Center Planned Unit Development. Besides completing all on- site improvements associated with the restaurant, Phase 1 will also include: • Landscaping and berming along Dodge Street from the restaurant site north to 189th Avenue as illustrated in the approved development plans. • Construct the storm drainage pond at the south end of the project, and • Associated landscaping/sodding around ponding area to give the area a finished appearance. Issues • Hours of operation -One of the conditions of the planned unit development as approved by the City Council was to limit the business hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Sunday. However, this condition did include a statement that the hours "may be subject to revision at the time of site plan approval". Therefore, along with this application, Dan Smith is requesting to have those hours amended allowing the restaurant to operate beyond the approved limits. The two options that were presented to the Planning Commission include the following: 1. 5 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 24 hours on weekends, including New Years. 2. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Planning Commission reviewed the hours of operation and recommended the following: Perkins may be allowed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for six months, at which time the Planning Commission and City Council will review the conditional use permit to discuss any issues that may have arisen with the extended hours of operation. Perkins will most likely want to discuss this issue with the City Council. I suspect the six month review may present some concerns for Perkins. • Proposed Flaepole -One of the items included on the proposed site plan is a 70 foot flagpole. Flagpoles are commonly associated with Perkins • Restaurants; however, the issue here is the height of the pole. The residents immediately east of the project expressed concern with the s:council:cu95.15
