MEMORANDUM
TO: Oak Park Heights Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Bronken /David Licht
DATE: November 4, 1980
Dairy Queen - Building Permit
FILE NO: 798.02 - 80.23
BACKGROUND
The applicant has requested a building permit to install a drive -up window to his
existing Dairy Queen located on the southeastern corner of the intersection of
60th Street and Omaha Avenue. The site and all surrounding lands are zoned B -2,
General Business District. This report will review the present conformance of the
facility as well as the proposed expansion.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
The ordinance allows one curb cut access for each 125 feet of street frontage. The
Dairy Queen lot has 240 feet of frontage along Omaha Avenue and two curb cut
accesses. If this number were reduced to one, circulation on the site would still
work well . It is recommended that the northern curb cut access from Omaha Avenue
be eliminated. It is also recommended that the width of the remaining curb cuts
to the site (35 feet) be reduced to the allowed maximum of 24 feet.
There are currently 25 parking spaces provided on the site. The square footage of
the structure (528 square feet) requires the provision of 35 on -site spaces. Room for
ten spaces is available on an unpaved portion of the back of the site. Since the
applicant states that parking is presently adequate, it is recommended that the
applicant not be required to provide the remaining ten spaces at this time. However,
the City should reserve the right to have the operation provide the spaces should
the demand increase.

Setback requirements have all been met on the site.
No problems are foreseen with the addition of the drive -up window.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that a building permit be granted for the addition of a drive -up
window to the Dairy Queen facility, provided that the northern curb cut access from
Omaha Avenue is eliminated and the remaining accesses are narrowed to 24 feet.
