At the northwest corner of the intersection of 70th Street South and Hinton Avenue. The proposed Restaurant is a 180 seat family style restaurant and bar. The proposed restaurant will have an inviting and family friendly atmosphere for patrons of all ages. The goal of the proposed restaurant is to draw in families from the surrounding areas along with local recreational sports teams after their games. The proposed restaurant sits on a split lot that is currently zoned as a PUD site. The proposed restaurant features a 61 stall parking lot along with possible shared parking from the adjacent office building to the west. The shared parking will be recorded through the city and county to reflect the amount of stalls provided on the site as well as the amount of stalls that are required for the building use. Since the site was originally developed as a multi building phase plan the original developer created more stalls than required to act as shared parking. Because of the extra stalls this allows other uses such as restaurants to take advantage of shred parking without having an enormous parking lot that is empty most of the day. This restaurant will have peak hours of operation during the day from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm during the weekdays. The surrounding office buildings have extra stalls that are not needed for the current use. So this proposal aims to create parking on the site as well as create a shared parking agreement that doesn't affect anyone's parking situation in a negative way. The stalls that we would be sharing are technically not even needed currently based on the use of office space. Please see attached Parking Layout ASIA for further information. The proposed restaurant is a 4700 square foot building that features design elements from historical warehouses and breweries in the Minnesota area. Material choices for the exterior of the building feature beige colored brick on the south and east facades as well as an architectural metal panel system. The brick color matches the approved design colors and selections thru the PUD and the amendment to the PUD. The approved materials consist of various materials, brick, stone, etc. The architectural metal panel is a sturdy metal panel that comes in various colors made locally by firestone metal products in Anoka MN. These panels are featured on various different buildings around the twin cities and doesn't have the poor performance of a typical metal panel. Other materials on the building include standing seam metal roofing along with clear low -e glazing windows. 23.3 _MAIN STREET SOUTH, STILLWATER, MN 55082 PH: 651-351-1760 FAX: 651-430-0180 W W W.HAFARCHITECTS.COM The proposed restaurant would be an excellent addition to the City of Cottage Grove and will provide another choice for family friendly dining. Thank you, Matt Hoefler HAF Architects 651-351-1760 233 MAIN STREET SOUTH, STILLWATER, MN 55082 PH: 651-351-1760 FAX: 651-430-0180 W W W.HAFARCHITECTS.COM HAF 0 R 0 U P A A C HI A C C A V V F V A l U P M! C O N 9 i A V C I, DATE: February 261, 2016 RE: Response to Ordinance Criteria. ATTN: John McCool, AICP - Senior Planner Dear John, Below are the responses to the Conditional Use Permit/interim Conditional Use Permit Response to Ordinance Criteria for a proposed restaurant located northwest of the intersection of 70th Street South and Hinton Ave. A. The proposed restaurant falls under the approved conditional uses as stated on page 8 of Ordinance 707/Attachment "A" as an "on -sale liquor store and restaurants serving liquor, wine, or 3.2 beer. The proposed restaurant would meet the standards as listed above. B. The proposed restaurant, located directly to the east of an existing office building has been designed to be constructed out of high quality materials that will be easy to maintain the original state of the building. The proposed restaurant falls into the approved list of conditional use buildings for the existing zoning. It is classified under Ordinance 707/Attachment "A" as a restaurant serving liquor, wine or beer. C. With the introduction of the proposed restaurant onto the site, the property values of the adjacent buildings are likely to increase. The proposed restaurant will draw customers in from surrounding areas, bringing in more potential clients for the surrounding businesses. D. Buildings and properties adjacent to the proposed restaurant include a large office building to the northwest of the site, a smaller office building directly west, and a Holiday gas station to the north. During standard operating hours, the proposed restaurant will offer new dining options for visitors and employees of the surrounding area. During nighttime operational hours (after 6:00pm) the adjacent buildings will be vacant, thus making it unlikely for the proposed restaurant to disturb the surrounding properties. At this time the proposed restaurant will not emit noticeable levels of noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water pollution, vibration, general unsightliness or any other nuisances. E. The proposed restaurant will be constructed in addition to a 61 stall parking lot to accommodate the restaurants proposed 180 seat layout. During busier hours of operation (after bpm) the majority of surrounding buildings will be empty for the remainder of the workday. The only traffic on Pine Arbor Drive S. will be traffic to the restaurant and traffic to the Holiday gas station located at the corner of Pine Arbor Boulevard S. and Pine Arbor Drive S. 233 MAIN STREET SOUTH, STILLWATER, MN 55082 PH: 651-351-1760 FAX: 651-430-0180 W WW.HAFARCHITECTS.COM F. The proposed restaurant will be connected to Pine Arbor Drive S. by two entrances into the proposed parking lot. The first being shared with the office building directly to the east of the proposed restaurant. The second being a dedicated two-way entrance located.on the northeast corner of the lot (see site plan). This allows for easy access into the restaurants parking lot. In addition to two entrances to the parking lot, the drive isle circles the entire restaurant and provides easy access for any emergency or utility vehicle that requires access to the building or site. G, The existing site currently has public utilities stubbed into the property..This eliminates the need for utility companies and the city to excavated existing roadways and right-of-ways to in order to bring required utilities to the proposed building. The proposed building will be privately owned and operated and therefore will not create additional costs at the public expense and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. The proposed restaurant will have the opposite effect. It will bring more traffic to other local businesses, leading to future economic development. H. The proposed restaurant and site have been designed intelligently to maintain the exiting scenic and natural features of the surrounding properties. The building and site feature city approved building materials and landscaping features. I. At this time the proposed restaurant creates no adverse environmental effects. J. At this time the proposed restaurant does not create ant potential future development problems for adjacent properties.
