UH, 5747. THANK YOU. THIS APPLICATION IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DRIVE-THROUGH FOR DUNCAN AT 1970 STRINGTOWN ROAD. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS APPROVED FOR KFC IN 1984, AND THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO REESTABLISH THE DRIVE-THROUGH. THE PROPOSED DRIVE-THROUGH IS LOCATED AT THE REAR AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND WILL HAVE SPACE FOR SIX VEHICLES TO BE STACKED, TO BE STACKED BETWEEN THE MEN, THE MENU BOARD AND THE DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW WITH ROOM FOR SEVEN OR EIGHT MORE BEHIND THE MENU BOARD. MATERIALS STATE THAT THE AVERAGE SPEED OF SERVICE IS APPROXIMATELY 160 SECONDS AND THE PEAK OUT, PEAK HOURS FOR THE DRIVE-THROUGH ARE IN THE MORNING BETWEEN 6:00 AM AND 10:00 AM. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A NEW ME - A NEW MENU BOARD AND CANOPY AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE FORMER KFC MENU BOARD AND THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE LANDSCAPING IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ACCESS POINT ALONG THE CURRENT ACCESS ALONG STRINGTOWN ROAD FOR IMPROVED SAFETY ALONG WITH THE SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE INDICATING THAT NO VEHICLES ARE PERMITTED TO STOP ON THE ROADWAY WHILE WAITING FOR THE DRIVE-THROUGH. ANY PROPOSED CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING WILL BE REVIEWED THROUGH THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APPLICATION THROUGH THE BUILDING DIVISION. NOTING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT MEETS ALL APPLICABLE SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND GROVE CITY 2050 GUIDING PRINCIPLES. AFTER REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED. MR. BRUMMER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? UM, I, SO I MADE SOME NOTES OF STUFF JUST TO EMPHASIZE FROM OUR APPLICATION. UM, WE CHANGED FROM A FULL ACCESS ON STRINGTOWN TO A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT. UM, AND ORIGINALLY WE PROPOSED THE FULL ACCESS, BUT I WAS THERE THIS MORNING. IT'S DEFINITELY THE RIGHT CALL TO NOT HAVE A FULL ACCESS THERE. UM, NEVER BE ABLE TO TURN LEFT OUT OF THERE AND CREATE JUST A GRIDLOCK ON OUR PROPERTY. UM, AND SO I KNOW THIS APPLICATION IS MOSTLY ABOUT KIND OF WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVE TRAFFIC IMPACTS. UM, AND OUR COMPANY OPERATES 80 DUNKINS NOW IN CINCINNATI, DAYTON, COLUMBUS AND DENVER. UH, SO WE, WE CREDIT ALL THAT SUCCESS TO OUR OPERATIONS AND PUTTING PEOPLE THROUGH THE DRIVE-THROUGH QUICKLY AND GETTING ORDERS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. UM, AND SO NORMALLY WHEN, WHEN A DRIVE-THROUGH'S BACKING OUT INTO THE STREET, IT'S, IT'S POOR OPERATIONS. THIS IS A, A SITE THAT IS BIG ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE A DRIVE-THROUGH AS SEEN IN THE PAST. UM, [00:05:01] WE ALSO CHANGED THE PARKING SPACES TO ANGLED PARKING. UH, JUST HELPS PEOPLE GET IN AND OUT A LITTLE BIT WHEN THE DRIVE-THROUGH QUEUE IS FORMING, HELP PEOPLE WALK IN A LITTLE EASIER. UM, AND I THINK THE LAST THING TO EMPHASIZE IS, UH, NOT REALLY TO DO WITH OUR PROPERTY, SO TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, BUT NEXT DOOR IS KEYNES, WHICH HAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT HOURS THAN US, SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE OVERLAPPING, UH, BUSY, BUSY TIMES. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OF PLANNING COMMISSION? HAVE YOU ALL LOOKED, THIS MAY BE MORE OF A QUESTION FOR YOU. HAVE YOU ALL LOOKED INTO LIKE GETTING LIKE AN EASEMENT INTO THAT BACK LOT LIKE KANE'S HAS? SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE REALLY FITTING. UM, THAT DISCUSSION WAS NOT HAD AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT CONTINUALLY COMES UP AS THIS AREA REDEVELOPS. UM, I THINK WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S, UM, IT WOULD HELP THINGS TO HAVE IMPROVED ACCESS MANAGEMENT ALONG STRINGTOWN. WE ARE TAKING STEPS TO IMPROVE THAT WITH, UM, THE MARLANE DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS AND PUTTING THE MEDIAN ALONG STRINGTOWN IN THIS PORTION, JUST FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. BUT, UM, IN TERMS OF REQUIRING AN ACCESS EASEMENT TO THE NORTH, THAT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT. BUT SOMETHING THAT WE RECOGNIZE IS PROBABLY A CONVERSATION THAT WILL INVOLVE MANY OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE AREA THAT, UM, THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER. YEAH. I THINK THAT WOULD JUST BE SUCH A, THAT WOULD BE SO HELPFUL THERE FOR YOU LONG RIGHT, LONG TERM. OTHER QUESTIONS OF PLANNING COMMISSION? YEAH, JUST TWO. THE FIRST... WELL, I HAD THREE, BUT THE FIRST ONE WAS ANSWERS. THE RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT. THAT'S PERFECT ON THAT. YEP. UM, MY SECOND QUESTION IS ON THE PEAK, YOU KNOW, THE PEAK HOURS THAT YOU HAVE BETWEEN SIX AND 10. YEAH. WHAT'S THIS PEAK STACKING THEN? UM, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF BROUGHT THIS TO OUR OPERATIONS TEAM AND SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SIX CARS BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE MENU BOARD WITH SEVEN OR SO, SEVEN TO EIGHT BEHIND THAT. IN YOUR EYES, IS THAT ENOUGH FOR, TO ACCOMMODATE PEAK HOURS? AND HE SAID, YES. YOUR, OUR HEAD OF OPERATIONS BELIEVES IT IS. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY CARS ARE IN THE DRIVE-THROUGH AT ONE TIME, SOME MORE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT. UM, SO I, I GO TO THE OPERATIONS FOR THEIR OPINIONS AND IN THEIR OPINIONS IT WAS A, A GOOD ENOUGH SITE. BECAUSE THAT DRIVEWAY'S PRETTY SHORT. IT IS. YOU KNOW, COMING IN THERE AND THEN WHERE THE STACKING IS - UH-HUH. IT ALMOST FORCES STACKING OUT ONTO STRINGTOWN, WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE SIGNAGE, RIGHT, THAT SAYS NO STACKING. THERE IS, THERE'S GONNA BE A SIGN DOWN THERE. OKAY. IT SAYS NO STOPPING ALONG THE ROAD. SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO LIKE HOW MANY AT PEAK? NOT AT ONE TIME. IT, IT DEPENDS ON HOW BUSY THE SITE IS IN GENERAL TOO. AND THEN THE OTHER THING, UH, I WOULD ASSUME DURING YOUR PEAK HOURS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF ONLINE ORDERS, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE APP. YEAH. MY QUESTION ON THAT IS, DO THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH TO PICK UP THE ORDER OR DO THEY GO INTO THE STORE TO PICK UP THE ORDER OR BOTH? THEY CAN DO EITHER AND GENERALLY OVERALL IT HELPS SPEED OF SERVICE BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING THROUGH WITH SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY PAID FOR AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT EVEN STOPPING TO PAY. THEY'RE JUST PICKING UP THEIR ORDER AND GOING. SO THEY CAN GO DRIVE THROUGH OR WALK IN. BECAUSE ONE OF OUR COFFEE PLACES HERE IN TOWN, IF YOU ORDER ONLINE, YOU STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH - MM. WITH THE LINE. NOW YOU- YOU CAN DO EITHER. OKAY. WHICH MAKES STACKING EVEN HIGHER ON THERE. YEAH. SO YOU HAVE BOTH. YEAH. ALL RIH, COOL. THANK YOU. THAT'S MY QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION? IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY, THEN WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION. CHAIR, I MAKE THE MOTION. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO OUR CITY COUNCIL. APPLICATION ONE, DUNCAN SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SECOND. AND ROLL CALL. CHAIR OYSTER? YES. MR. FARNSWORTH? YES. MR. TITUS? YES. MR. ROACH? YES. MS. WEMLINGER? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WELCOME TO TOWN. HELLO. ITEM NUMBER [2.

WE WERE ABLE BY THE SELECTION OF A, A DIFFERENT HIGH CUTOFF FIXTURE TO OBVIOUSLY LOWER THE LIGHT POLES TO 35 FEET AND WE CAN... WE ONLY NEED 10 OF THEM TO GET THE RIGHT FOOT CANDLE LEVEL, SO THAT WAY IT WON'T LOOK QUITE AS MUCH LIKE A FOREST. I WOULD JUST SAY AS WELL THE, UH, I NOTED IT WAS DESCRIBED AS STORAGE AND A SALES.

STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PARKING... OF THE PROPOSED GRAVEL PARKING AND FENCE - FENCING TYPES AS MULTIPLE OTHER BUSINESSES IN GROVE CITY HAVE UTILIZED SIMILAR FENCING AND PARKING SURFACE MATERIALS. THE CURRENT PARKING ROWS EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OF 21 CONSECUTIVE SPACES. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF A DEVIATION TO THIS REQUIREMENT AS THE SITE WILL FUNCTION AS A STORAGE ARE - STORAGE AREA AND NOT A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT WITH PUBLIC ACCESS. A SECTION OF THE DRIVE AISLE EXTENDS TO THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF THE... TO THE NORTHERN PRO - NORTHERN PROPERTY.

AFTER REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APPEAL WITH THE FOLLOWING DEVIATIONS AND STIPULATIONS. GIVE YOU A SECOND TO READ THROUGH ALL THOSE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? NO, I MEAN, I'LL DEFER TO JOHN ABOUT THE, UH, UH, NUMBER TWO. THAT WOULD BE THE... WE HAVE A 25-FOOT SETBACK CURRENTLY, UM, BUT IT'S NOT A LANDSCAPE SETBACK. WE JUST HAVE PULLED PARKING BACK FROM THE SOUTH SIDE. AND THE ASK IS FOR A 10 FOOT INCREASED SETBACK? WITH LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE. OKAY. UM - PER THE, UH, UH, 06. YEP. MM-HMM. SO IS THERE A... THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THE SOUTH IS HURLEY MOVING IN STORAGE. MM-HMM. IS THE REASON FOR THE ASK TO, UH, HIDE THE VIEWPOINT FROM THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM THE SOUTH HEADED NORTH ON 104? OR JUST CURIOUS WHAT THE, UH, REQUEST IS TO HAVE THE LANDSCAPING AND THE INCREASED SETBACK. SO FOR THAT SECTION ON THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE, SINCE THAT USE IS SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT USE, AND I KNOW YOU USED SOME STORAGE IN THE BACK, UM, BUT JUST SINCE IT'S NOT FULLY ASSOCIATED WITH MANHEIM, JUST IN CASE THAT USE WERE TO EVER CHANGE, THAT'S WHY WE HAD THAT STIPULATION TO HAVE THE LANDSCAPING ALONG THAT SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE AND MEETING THOSE SETBACKS. OKAY. I- IS IT, IS IT, UH, ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THE, THE MOUND WITH THE CONIFERS OR ARE YOU ASKING FOR THE, UH, THE DECORATIVE ALUMINUM FENCE TO BE PART OF THAT AS WELL? UM, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE SETBACK OR LIKE WHAT THE LANDSCAPING IS FOR THAT ADJACENT PROP - UM, THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, UM, SECTION OF CODE, BUT, UM, THAT COULD BE SOMETHING [00:20:01] THAT COULD BE WORKED OUT IN THE SITE IMPROVEMENT PLAN. YEAH. IF IT'S THE LANDSCAPING, WE, WE'RE... I'M OKAY WITH THAT. WE, WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. JUST TO CLARIFY, THE LEVEL OF LANDSCAPING REQUIRED ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE WOULD NOT BE THE SAME EXPECTATIONS AS ALONG 104. IT'S MORE OF JUST SUPPLEMENTAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS THAT'S REQUIRED FOR ALL PARKING LOTS IN GROVE CITY, SO. YEAH. SO IT'S NOT TO SCREEN IT FROM VIEW, IT'S JUST TO ADD LANDSCAPING TO THE SITE. CORRECT. YES. THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? THESE WERE AS EXPECTED, SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS TO PLANNING COMMISSION?
