RE: .p l b e's Neighborhood ill and Bar
Site Flan App roval
Dear Mayor O'Neal and Council:
I n response to a planning repo dated March 30, 1995 by Northwest Plan
Consultants, we resectf`ully request that the proposed northerly curb c ut o the future
Haase Ave. b e allowed to remain 'in the locat 'l ore depicted on our site plan .
We feel very strongly about this because it allows our customers much easier access to the
restaurant than if we were to move the curb cut further to the mouth. Moving the curb cut
would require an additional turm movement for vehicles ent r g our parking lot as well
as forcing our custom to approach the restau from the side or rear rather than the
fro nt.
"Ie It is al our desire to ha direct access off` the thoroughfares from w use
front our restaurants, we understand that certain highway locations require access off'' o
Montage reads w f&h carry significantly less traffic to local businesses. What causes tl s
less than ideal accessibility problem to become a major issue for u s is tvo -fold. First, w
are a sked to f'or'ego direct access off a service road in which we have s bs antial fiontage.
Second access is made via a dead end street initially serving just our lot, Such access is a
significant distance away from the frontage roa
Because of this w are asking you to approve our site plan as proposed, An acceptable
alterative that you m ay want to consider is to allow us a curb cut onto 60th St at a.
location midpoint on our fto tag , over 100 feet away from the adjacent Wal -Mart
dntveway and proposed Haase Ave. Such a curb cut would eliminate our requirement for
access off H Ave.

We feel that vith the proposed dedication of the right of way for 58th Street it is i y
that 6 ft Street would ev carry enmigh traffic t warrant denial of a curb cut to lot
su ch ours.
