Request for special use permit and non -conforming use permit. We are requesting a special use permit to add a drive-thru lane to the property located at 2200 Silver Lake Road. The property in question is the southern end cap of the strip center located at the intersection of Silver Lake Road and Mississippi Street ( Mississippi Square). The drive-thru would be in conjunction with the operation of a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius located in the end cap unit. The addition of a drive-thru to this location will not have a negative impact to any properties in the area or to the strip center in which it is located. As part of the addition of the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius to the center there will be many updates being made to the exterior of the strip center. These updates will include parking lot striping, new fascia, new signage and some addition of new landscaping to the rear of the strip center by the new menu board and in the five feet of black top that will be removed in the rear of the center to remove the non -conformity at the rear or west side of the center. The removal of the blacktop at the rear of the center is scheduled to take place prior to the meeting in an effort to reduce the number of non - conformities. We are also applying for a non -conforming use permit. The drive-thru menu board will be at the far south side of the center which will mean that the only locations that will be affected will be Mississippi Street traffic to the south, the car wash to the west and a house located around 350 feet to the north and up an elevation of 15 plus feet with many trees and bushes in between. All head lights from stacking cars will face away from the home and the speaker should not even be audible from the house. The location currently has a few non -conforming set backs and parking lane issues but we are trying to reduce these and be in conformity where reasonably practical.
