Chuckwagon Chili MiSP/COA/Dev. #Z-97159 - (Olsen) 720 South 1 Oth Avenue - A Minor Site Plan/Certificate of Appropriateness with Deviations application to allow the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a 1700 square foot restaurant and related site improvements. Planner Jody Olsen reviewed the proposal, noting the applicant plans to demolish the old brick building. The applicant is requesting two deviations, 1) outdoor seating and 2) signage. Streets/Sanitation Superintendent Roger Sicz asked about parking requirements. Planner Olsen noted there is more parking than required for the four tables that they'll have. Chief Building Official Neil Poulsen noted they are anticipating mostly walk-in traffic. Chairperson Skelton noted he is concerned about the retention/detention plan as the grade slopes towards the sheet. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted his department will require the best that can be done on the site,however,the drainage looks possible. Mr. Poulsen noted that with a restaurant this small, UBC would allow one unisex restroom. It has to be ADA accessible. Planner Olsen asked how wide the sidewalk has to be on the side of the building. Discussion followed on requirements, with Mr. Poulsen noting the hearing being held on accessibility is changing parking stall width, site accessibility, etc. He's left a copy in the Planning Office. Mr.Brawner noted that the dimensions for the drive access, parking stalls, etc. have to meet Code. FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE DRC Mr. Poulsen noted that the State rule change for agricultural buildings requires 4 exits and 2 restrooms. He noted there are several other changes in the rule. Chairperson Skelton discussed the new boiler plates and what improvements cannot be financially guaranteed,noting that if the improvements aren't connected to occupancy, the financial guarantee won't work. Fire Marshal Chuck Winn noted he wants no break-away barriers, gates and he suggested no Temporary Certificates of Occupancy be issued, as once the buildings are occupied, it is difficult to get the rest of the improvements done. No being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Development Review Committee Minutes-October 14,1997 3
