Mr. Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated he had no comments beyond those in the minutes of the plat review meeting. Mr. Nickle stated the telephone company requested the 50 foot set back at the front of the property be a utility easement. Mr. Morgan stated he would be taking a copy of the site plan to the engineer for the filing of the easement for record. Mr. Bunn stated it would need to be granted by separate easement. In response to a question from Mr. Nickle, Mr. Morgan explained that there were no plans to install a sprinkler system at this time due to the cost factor. He stated there were numerous exits from the building. The occupancy would be in the vicinity of 180 to 210 people. Mr. Nickle stated he had calculated 89% of the property would be covered with pavement and building. He asked if this would pose any drainage problems. He explained approximately 2 1/4 acres would be covered. Mr. Morgan stated he had not reviewed the final drawings from the architect. Mr. Bunn suggested the drainage be directed long the west property line. He requested a copy of the drainage plan after it was completed. • • • Subdivision Committee - April 11, 1991 Page 2 Mr. Morgan pointed out the proposed landscaping of the property on the plat. In response to a question from Mr. Nickle regarding six enclosed areas, Mr. Morgan explained those were stripped areas. He further explained that, in order to landscape in those areas, they needed a good sprinkler system, and had to be careful that people did not step on the plants. He stated debris also tended to collect in those areas. He stated, if more landscaping is desired or required, those would be the obvious places. Mr. Nickle stated he did not believe any landscaping was required but even grass would look better on the site. Mr. Morgan explained that they might want to do some landscaping in the front four areas to break the "sea of asphalt". He stated the owner was desiring to accommodate motor homes and larger vehicles in the back, necessitating large areas of parking. Mr. Bunn stated the Becky Bryant, Associate Planner had mentioned required parking was 26 spaces. He further stated the site plan was showing .204 spaces. Mr. Morgan stated the normal minimum for a restaurant this size was 124 spaces just :to be functional. He further stated they had anticipated some larger vehicles and, therefore, provided excess parking. Mr. Nickle stated his only concern would be increasing the runoff to adjoining property. Mr. Morgan stated he would provide the City Engineer with a drainage plan. MOTION Mr. Cleghorn moved to approve the large scale development. Mr. Nickle seconded the motion. The motion passed. asked if there was a certain amount of parking they desired. The meeting adjourned.
