HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutesqe ~3 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Consideration of three restaurant developments proposed for the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor, Lots 2, 3, and 4 of the West Wolf Pen Creek Subdivision, along the sough side of Harvey Road. (98-430, 98-438, & 9'8-439} City Planner Kee presented these items and. informed the Commission that the Design Review Board had been working with three separate restaurant developments that would be adjacent to each other in the Wolf Pen Creek Comdor. They would be located along Harvey Road just east of and adjacent to the former Sneakers/the Christmas Store location. Two of the three restaurants, Kona's Steakhouse and Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant, are owned by the same company,. The third restaurant is a Sonic. The three restaurants were presented together because of their relationship to each other. Color and material samples, photographs and similar design information were on display.. at this,meeting. Ms. Kee explained that the Commission must determine whether these uses meet the intent of the WPC Master Plan as designed. Restaurants are permitted. uses in the district but their design and orientation are at the Design Review Board and Commission's discretion. The .presented .site plans' were revised per the Design Review Board's comments and direction. There were some additional' revisions that either were not reviewed or were not approved by the DRB. Mr. Paul Clarke, Clarke and Wyndham, explained that there will be a fourth. restaurant to be reviewed at a later date. The Commission reviewed each restaurant plan separately. SOr]IC Mr. Bill Koehler, Municipal Development Group, explained that he is the project manager for the Sonic Restaurant. MDG is coordinating the site design and engineering on these .tracts. Mr. Greg Taggart, also with NIDG, is the_ project manager for the Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant and Kona's Steakhouse. Mr. Koehler explained. that they .have taken the necessary steps to deal with the discretionary items. the Design Review Board recommended. Commissioner Rife asked if the design of Sonic would be the same as all other Sonics. Mr. Koehler said that the color scheme has been modified, the structure is slightly different, more attention has been given to the landscaping, and it is proposed to have dining areas in the back of the site. These items' are different from the typical Sonic sites. Mr. Ray Corkran, owner of Sonic Drive-ins, approached. the Commission and explained that. the dining area would have seating for approximately 30 patrons with two ordering stations. The dining area is very similar to the existing Sonic on South Texas Avenue in College Station, with the exception that there are two dining areas on this pro-posed restaurant. Commissioner Maloney asked where the customers could park to access the dining area. Mr. Corkran explained thatthere would not be additional parking for the dine-in area, they would have to park in the stalls. The rear dining area was. designed. primarily to satisfy the suggestion of the DRB to address the rear traffic area along the creek. Commissioner Rife was. curious if the changes in thecolor schemes were done to be more consistent with the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan. Mr. Corkran said that the DRB .requested that the colors be changed to blend. better with the area. Commissioner Rife asked if the cone shaped lighting elements were going to be used; they were brought up as a concern by the DRB. Mr. Corkran said that the cones were included on the plan because he was not aware of the DRB concerns prior to submittal of the revisions. He said that these cones could be eliminated easily if the Commission and DRB agree not to allow them. P&ZMinutes October 1, 1998 Page S oj9 Design Review Board Chairman Henryson explained that. the DRB requested reducing the red and yellow in the color schemes. She said the DRB-would probably agree with her to recommend .removing the red cones. Mr. Corkran said the cones were mainly aesthetics and. could be eliminated without a problem. Commissioner Rife asked Ms. Henryson if the DRB was satisfied with all the. changes Sonic has made to their .plan and asked if the DRB felt this type of development would fit into the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan. vision. Ms. Henryson said that most of the DRB thought. this development would be consistent with the Master Plan, but others preferred a more non-vehicle,. pedestrian oriented .plan,. but overall they seemed satisfied with the proposal. Commissioner Maloney expressed his concern about the distance between the dumpster storage and the rear dining area,. and he asked what would be done to eliminate the' odor: from the dumpster. Mr. Koehler said the distancewould be .approximately thirty feet. Mr. Corkran said that he has never had an odor problem at any of the other Sonic locations. He said that because. there is no other Sonic with rear dining, he could notmake a comparison of odor being a problem with the dining area. He explained that Sonic takes. precautions by bagging up food before throwing it in the dumpster. The dumpster is emptied. approximately five times per week and the dumpster area (along with the entire facility) is steam cleaned regularly.. Mr. Koehler said that the dumpster storage building would' be built with the same design. and materials as the main building. Commissioner Maloney was concerned that possible odor would prevent people from using the rear dining area and asked if there would_be any place to move the dumpster if a problem developed. Mr. Corkran said that this development (with the rear dining) was an exception to the original layout of Sonic Restaurants and did not think there would be another location for the dumpster. The dumpster was previously located closer to the back parking and the DRB requested it be moved to the present location because of their concern of odor:. Chairman Massey asked if the restrooms would. be easily accessed. Mr. Corkran explained that there would be a designated walkway for the bathroom, but. that pedestrians from the rear dining area would have to cross two flows. of traffic. The Commissioners asked if there had been any consideration of designating parking in the back for rear dine-in customers. Ms. Henryson said that. during review of the first plan, ,the DRB recommended removing the rear parking area. Commissioner Mooney was concerned with the safety of children when parking in the stalls. having to cross traffic flows to utilize the dining. area.... Chairman Massey expressed his concern also for pedestrian safety and asked for clarification of the distance. between the sidewalk and the drive-thru. Mr. Koehler said that there was approximately 5 feet. Commissioner Rife asked Ms. Henryson what the DRB's preference was for the proposed. 6' high cedar fence versus the vegetated 6' buffer (for the transition between Sonic and Sneakers). Ms. Henryson said that the buffer change was noted on a set of plans .after DRB review. The DRB decided against cedar fencing. Ms. Henryson explained that the DRB had only. reviewed the location of the dumpster, but the elevations were not reviewed. She said a couple of things being presented tonight were different than when the DRB reviewed.. the: plans. The iron fencing ,and decking. was different.. She said .the original plan showed. wood decking and fencing and she was pleased .that this was changed to the concrete decking because of their concern: for food and trash falling between the wood. Commissioner Maloney asked if speed. bumps had been. considered to slow the traffic for safety of pedestrians. Mr. Corkran said that. speed bumps were installed at the south College Station location and could be added to the plan. P&Z Minutes October 1, 1998 Page 6 of 9 Paul Clazke said that drive-thrus aze allowed in the Wolf Pen Creek District. He said that if there was concern with this Sonic would be willing to remove it. Commissioner Mooney felt that the- Wolf Pen Creek corridor. was designed to be available to everyone. Hethbught it was a good ideato have a variety of eating establishments in the azea to accommodate all of its visitors. KONA' S & JOHNNY CARINO' S Mr. Charles. Mercer, Representative for Kona's Steakhouse and Johnny Casino's Restaurant, explained that these two restaurants are designed for casual family dining with a medium price. range. The buildings are proposed t~ be positioned to best suit the greenbelt area between the two restaurants. He explained .that Kona's: is a .ranch-style building. with earth tones;.. Casino's is acountry-Italian style building also with earth tone scheme. Their desire is to preserve as many existing trees as possible but still meet the parking requirements. Mr. Greg Taggart, Municipal Development Group, explained that he is the project manager for these two restaurants. He felt that these developments .would be the beginning of future developments. in the Corridor. Chairman Massey said that he remembered from the DRB review. that the sidewalks along Highway 30 would be placed away from the highway and somehow. connect across the tributary. Mr. Taggart explained that the plans include the ordinance required sidewalks because the: developers aze scheduled to meet with staffto discuss development. of the greenbelt on Lot 4 and the internal sidewalk. The sidewalks on the existing plan maybe changed after the meeting. Commissioner Maloney asked for buffer details between Kona's and Sonic. Mr. Taggart said that the buffer issue' has been discussed. extensively with DRB and staff, and has proposed. tiered .parking (represented as compact car spaces), and a large :traffic .island, which provides an additional physical buffer. Since the plan has compact car spaces, it has allowed the developers to recover an additional b to 8 feet of grass area. The larger parking spaces are closer to Harvey Road. Mr. Taggart saidthat the intent is to have a smooth grade transition between Sonic and Kona's. Mr. Mercer said that the buffers being used were not trying to separate Kona's from Sonic but to break up the solid concrete areas. Ms. Henryson said that the DRB was concerned with keeping park-like, natural image rather than having the`landscapng so straight and uniform.. Commissioner Mooney asked what .they were proposing for pedestrian access. Mr. Taggart said that there is a 6' shaded walkway in front of Kona's. The plans for pedestrian access to the park will be to tie in the Kona's sidewalk to the walkway within the park. Mr. Mercer showed a sample of the roof.. Ms. Henryson said that the DRB expressed concern with color. Mr. Mercer said that the roof was selected. because it goes with architectural scheme and it would: not rust or become. discolored. Mr. Taggart said that the sidewalk for Casino's would be the .same as Kona's, but this will be determined at the meeting with staff. Mr. Taggart pointed out that a tree protection plan will be provided with the Building Permit plans. PBcZ Minutes October 1,.1998 Page 7 of 9 Mr. Ray Corkran from Sonic approached the Corrunissionto explain that they have made every effort to be in compliance with the City and that they are willing to accommodate any concerns for a safe, clean, pleasant and odor free development.: The Commissioners came to a consensus to consider each restaurant with separate motions and to have the DRB review the: items still not addressed. The DRB was directed to make the necessary decisions and only have the Commission review the decision if there: is controversary with certain items. Commissioner Maloney felt that. as ong as the DRB is satisfied with the site plan for Johnny Carino's and there is agreement among. the DRB, the applicant, and staff, he felt the plan should be accepted. MOTIONS Commissioner Rife moved to approve the site plan .for Johnny Carino's Restaurant with all Staff and DRB comments and recommendations. including allowing the DRB to make the final decision on the sign package. Commissioner Maloney seconded the motion which passed unopposed (7-0). Commissioner Garner moved to approve the site plan for Kona's .Steakhouse with Staff and DRB comments and recommendations including the following: • Signage - to be reviewed later by DRB and. not go back to Planning: and Zoning Commission • .Metal Roof -acceptable • Sidewalk -Work with staff in designing tributary area to include moving the sidewalk from SH 30 further west into property. • Landscape Screening -Area behind dumpster and transformer should be a continuous .screen. • The transition between Kona's and Sonic at the rear should be dealt with by breaking the line of site. with a planting buffer of shrubs and trees as is .proposed between the parking area of the two sites. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (7-0). Commissioner Rife made a motion to .approve the Sonic site plan with. staff and DRB conditions, comments and recommendations, with the condition that the DRB approve or make determinations on all items not yet reviewed and including the following: • The outside rear patio will be a slab rather than a deck, the furniture matching the green color of the building and the wrought iron fence; • Speed. bumps will be added to the circulation aisle to slow traffic moving by the outside rear seating area; • The transition between. Kona's and Sonic should be dealt with by breaking the line of site with a planting buffer of shrubs and trees as is proposed between the parking area of the two sites; • Sgnage, the storage building: and the front brick wall shall be reviewed later by DRB without going back to the Planning and Zoning Commission; • Sonic shall not use the cone elements. Commissioner Mooney seconded the motion. Commissioner Kaiser said he would be voting against this motion for several reasons, the first being that he does not think the safety. issues have been :adequately addressed; and the second being that he .does not think adrive-in restaurant is an appropriate use in his special' zoning. district because it does not fit in with the vision of the district. P&Z Minutes October I, 1998 Page 8 of 9 Commissioner Rife .said that he had originally felt that way also, but had changed his mind at this meeting and thinks now that the: City.: must address. all possible users of this park. Commissioner Kaiser - said: he still disagrees, but would like to commend the Sonic. people .for the efforts they have made in drying to address. all the concerns and recommendations .made by the reviewing bodies. He added that he understood there is no way to' please everyone and he simply cannot support this development. Commissioner Mooney stated that he thinks .developing the Sonic restaurant at this location actually embraces the stepdown zoning recommended in the Comprehensive Flan. Commissioner Maloney said he agreed. Commissioner Parker said he applauds the Sonic people. and MDG for the efforts made to address, all concerns. Commissioner Garner said this type of diversity would. be good in the area and thinks the Commission should allow these three developments to begin after the DRB has made the final decisions. Chairman Massey said that while there is an apparent interest in .having such a restaurant in the WWolf Pen Creek district, he appreciates the efforts. made to address. all recommendations, but he disagrees -that the changes and work done have addressed all problems. He went on to say that he thinks a "Sonic is a Sonic" and thin project has only created an additional outdoor seating area, and still' has not addressed the safety questions. Chairman Massey felt there. has been very little creative thinking: done to develop this site as part of WPC. He thought the design. does little more than drop a typical Sonic restaurant into this .prime WPC location. The restaurant is oriented only to the Iiarvey access point, with the WPC access being secondary and referred to as the "back side" of the site. He old the other Commissioners that throughout the DRB review process, Sonie's design team was asked to separate the drive-in traffic from the pedestrian. traffic, but they never provided' a :design to address this safety problem. He also has concerns: regarding the closeness of the dumpster to the outdoor eating area. He is unsure as to whether the distance was sufficient to .separate the odors of the dumpster from the exterior seating. he stated that, in .his opinion that the integrity of the Wolf Pen Creek district has not been adequately addressed and he would be unable to support'this project. There was no more discussion so votes were cast on the motion to approve. The motion carried by a vote of 5-2 with Chairman Massey and Commissioner Kaiser voting against. AGENDA'ITEM N0.8: Other Business. There was no other business. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Adjourn. Commissioner Parker moved to adjourn the meeting of the Planning. and Zoning Commission.
