TPC FILE: 236.02 — 10.04
BACKGROUND
Bill Kulesa, representing Gartner Restaurant Holdings has made application to construct
a Dairy Queen at 14447 60 Street North. The property is west of the Super America at
the corner of Olene Avenue North and 60 Street. The application consists of requests
for a conditional use permit for a drive through and site plan /Design Guidelines review.
The property has previously been a vehicle sales lot and the building on the site will be
removed as part of this proposed development.
The site is 56,963 square feet in size and is zoned B -2, General Business District in
which restaurants are a permitted use. The drive thru and convenience food
establishments are allowed through a conditional use. Site Plan and Design Guideline
review are required for any redevelopment project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Dairy Queen is to be located at the corner of Olene Avenue and 60
Street, just west of the Super America. It will be a one story building of 2,164 square
feet with 69 seats. There will also be an outside seating area at the front of the building.
A picnic area is also provided at the rear of the site. The Dairy Queen will also provide
a drive thru option. Access for the site is from 60 Street. Two access points are
currently provided from 60 and these two accesses will remain. The access nearest
Olene will be two way, while the exit to the east will be one way out.
An area directly to the east of the Dairy Queen and west of the Super America will
remain as a paved area. This was a portion of the former used car sales lot. The lot is
platted as a separate parcel that is not part of the proposed Dairy Queen or the Super
America site. All of these properties are under the same ownership. The paved parcel
adjacent to the Super America will remain as a parking area for Super America
employees and customers. It is assumed that this lot would be combined with the
Super America site for future development. The parcel cannot be developed as a
separate parcel in that it does not have adequate frontage on 60 Street.
A ten foot grassed area will be created within the parking lot adjacent to the Dairy
Queen site. It will be irrigated from the Dairy Queen system and maintained by the
owner of the property. The applicant has provided draft copies of the agreement for
maintenance of this grassed area. The City will require a copy of the final agreement as
a condition of approval.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed
Land Use Map. The Dairy Queen restaurant will be consistent with this land use
designation.
Zoning. The property is zoned B -2 General Business District. Restaurants are a
permitted use, but drive through and convenience food establishments are a listed
conditional use. A review of the criteria for this project is as follows. The District
2
Page 59 of 76
requires a 40 foot front yard setback, 10 foot side yard setback and 20 foot rear yard
setback. The building meets or exceeds these requirements. The building height
maximum in the B -2 District is 35 feet. At its highest point, the building will be 20 feet, 6
inches.
Section 401.301.E of the Zoning Ordinance lists criteria for review of drive through and
convenience food establishments. All of the issues raised in those criteria have been
addressed in this report. The one item that should be reviewed carefully by the
Planning Commission is the first criterion that specifies compliance with the Design
Guidelines.
Subdivision. The property is currently in a meets and bounds description. The
property owner has the option of plating it as a one lot subdivision and pay park
dedication at this time, or to leave it in the current description. If left in a meets and
bounds description, 10 foot utility easements along all lot lines will need to be provided
to the City at this time. The applicant has indicated that the lot will not be platted at this
time.
Access. As indicated, the site will be accessed by 60 Street. Two curb cuts on 60
exist at this time, and the applicant has indicated the same on the site plan. Staff
discussed the option of an access off of Olene Avenue, but the topography of the site
made this option problematic. If the two accesses did not currently exist, the applicant
would be allowed only one access from 60 Street. The access closest to Olene
Avenue has been moved to the east from its current location. The location of the
access points are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Parking. Section 401.15.F.9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires one off street parking
stall for each 35 square feet of gross floor area or service and dining area and one
space for each 80 square feet of kitchen and storage area. Additionally, two spaces are
required for the drive - through and 180 feet of drive aisle stacking space must be
included. The parking calculation for this site is as follows:
1,029 sq ft (seating /service) x.9 = 926 / 35 = 27 spaces
1,085 sq ft (kitchen/storage) x.9 = 976/ 80 = 13 spaces
2 drive through spaces = 2 spaces
Total 42 spaces
The site plan indicates that there are 43 parking stalls planned for the development, two
of which are disability accessible. The layout as designed will meet the required
number of parking stalls and disability accessible stalls.
The parking spaces are 9 foot wide stalls with at least 22 foot driveway aisles in
compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. The parking area will be completely surrounded
by curb and gutter. All of the parking areas are setback from the property lines at least
3
Page 60 of 76
10 feet in compliance with the requirements. There will be landscaped areas at the
front and rear of the building as well as surrounding the parking lot and drive thru lane.
Three rain gardens are provided within the parking lot and directly behind the building.
Loading areas /Trash Enclosure Location. The loading access to the building will be
from the parking lot and deliveries are made at the rear of the structure. The
representatives of Dairy Queen have indicated that deliveries are made at off peak
hours so as not to disrupt traffic flow within the site. Additionally, the delivery area will
not impact the drive thru lanes. The trash enclosure is located at the rear of the site and
is constructed of brick to complement the main structure.
Grading /Drainage /Utilities. Grading, drainage and utility plans have been provided by
the applicant. The City Engineer will provide a separate report on engineering issues.
The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the
City Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed District.
Lighting Plans.
Fixtures. The lighting plan indicates a shoe box style, full cut off light fixture mounted on
a pole and base with a total height of 24 feet in compliance with the lighting
requirements. All of the parking lot fixtures are adequately setback from property lines.
The plans indicate the locations of the full cut off building wall mounted fixtures. Both of
these fixtures are consistent with zoning requirements. The project architect should
specify the color of the pole mounted and building light fixtures,
Photometrics. The lighting plan is in compliance with zoning requirements for lighting
intensity. The light intensity is required to be less than one foot candle at the centerline
of adjacent streets and 0.4 foot candles at the property line.
Hours. Outdoor lighting for parking lots shall be turned off one hour after closing,
except for approved security lighting.
Accent Lighting. The plans call for the use of an LED flexible tube accent lighting at the
front and partially on the sides of the structure. The Design Guidelines do not allow
building color wraps or neon as a building accent. This feature will need to be removed
from the plans.
Landscaping. The submitted plans indicate plantings at the front and rear of the
building, and surrounding the parking lot and drive aisle. The City Arborist has provided
a report on the landscaping as attached to this report. The final landscape plan is
subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist.
The landscape area along the east property line will abut the existing parking lot of the
former used vehicle lot. The elevations of the parking lot and landscape area have
been matched. As indicated, the applicant will install a 10 foot grassed area on the
adjacent site as a transition to the parking lot.
4
Page 61 of 76
•
Mechanical Screening. The plans indicate that the parapet walls are designed to
totally screen the mechanical equipment.
Signage.
Freestanding Sign. The Zoning Ordinance allows for one freestanding sign not
exceeding 20 feet in height and 100 square feet in sign area. A freestanding sign is
proposed at the front of the lot near the easterly exit. The sign is 20 feet in height, and
the signage is a total of 87 square feet. A brick planter is provided at the base in
compliance with the requirements. The Design Guidelines indicate that ground
mounted or monument signs are preferred over pylon signs. The Planning Commission
should comment on the design of the sign. It might be more attractive as a 20 foot
monument sign with the three signage elements incorporated within.
Wall Signage. The Zoning Ordinance allows for a total of two wall signs, each on
separate facades. The proposed sign plan indicates two wall signs, one on the front
facade facing 60 Street and the other facing west. On the front facade, the signage is
two separate sign boxes, but in that they are only separated by a gap of six inches, staff
regards them as one sign. This is consistent with past practice,
Total Allowable Signage. The total square footage of signage shall not exceed 300
square feet for the site. The wall signs are a total of 82 square feet. The total signage
proposed for the site is 169 square feet. The sign plans indicate the location and type of
directional signs. The directional signs do not include advertising which is consistent
with the requirements. The signage, including all directional signs shall be subject to
review and approval of City Staff at the time of sign permit application.
Sign Illumination. The Dairy Queen logo signs, Grill and Chill signs and the manual
reader board is to be internally lit. The sign plans show that when the signs are
illuminated at night, only the logo portion of the sign will be lit. The signs as designed
should comply with the Zoning Ordinance lighting requirements. Staff will approve the
lighting specifications for the signs at the time of permitting.
Design Guidelines
Sustainable Guidelines. City staff has questioned the applicant on how the project has
been designed to achieve at least a certain degree of sustainability. The applicant will
need to discuss the methods in building construction and site design with the Planning
Commission of how these issues have been addressed.
5
Page 62 of 76
Architectural Guidelines.
Facade Treatments
The building will have a definite base, middle and top. The Planning Commission
should discuss the metal cooler at the rear of the building and the blue and red
color accents on the building facades.
Ground Level Expression
This is a one story building with a raised parapet feature at the center of the front
facade. The main entrance is well defined by the awnings and signage.
Transparency
The building uses glass on all of the facades except for the rear which is partially
obscured by the metal cooler. The Design Guidelines requires at least a 20
percent transparency on ground floor, street facing facades. The facade facing
60 Street is approximately 19.1 percent transparent. The two side facades
closest to the front have transparencies of 20 percent and over. The Planning
Commission should discuss this.
Entries
The building features a prominent entry with a raised parapet, stone wall
materials and awnings.
Roof Design
The roofline is broken at the front by a raised parapet feature. The rooftop
mechanical equipment will be completely screened within the parapet of the
building.
Building Materials and Colors
The applicant has provided color elevations for review. The primary building
materials of brick, stone and glass will exceed the 60 percent requirement. None
of the prohibited building materials will be used. The Planning Commission
should discuss the use of the blue metal panels and the red tile accents on the
sides of the building. Building material samples will be available at the Planning
Commission meeting.
Franchise Architecture
The building is a franchise design but it is consistent with the basic principles of
the Design Guidelines. This should be discussed by the Planning Commission.
Site Design Guidelines
Building Placement
The proposed building has a well defined entrance facing 60 Street. The
building is set back to allow for parking and landscaping.
6
Page 63 of 76
Parking Areas

MNDot will install a trail when improvements are made to the frontage roads of
60 Street. The Planning Commission should comment about creating a trail
connection through the site at this time.
Landscaping
Building entrance plantings are required and are provided at the main parking lot
entrance and along the on the west side of the building. An outdoor seating area
is provided adjacent to the front facade. That area is landscaped and fenced.
Trees /Shrubs
The trees and shrubs used in the landscape plan shall be subject to the review
and approval of the City Arborist. The Arborist has indicated that the plan is well
