Response to special use permit criteria worksheet 1. The operation of the drive-thru at 2200 Silver Lake Road in conjunction with a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius would not have any negative impact on the general public. The way in which the drive-thru will be laid out will help dramatically in keeping the impact on all surrounding properties to a minimum. The stacking lane will be on the back(west and north) side of the strip center which adjoins the property currently being used for a car wash. The drive-thru lane will be large enough to have at least 10 cars stacked before even affecting anything other than tenant and employee parking spaces. Also the nearest house is will not see any headlights or be within audible range of the speaker system. 2. With space for the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius located at the very south end of the strip center, the only properties that will be near the drive-thru menu board will be the car wash located directly to the west, and another strip center located to the south, across Mississippi Street. With the stacking lane and the menu board speaker being out of sight and audible range from all properties located in the area other than the car wash to the west side, the drive-thru should not impair the property values within the neighborhood. 3. Since all areas in the surrounding property have already been developed for commercial use permitted in the district, there shouldn't be a negative impact on future development. Also, because of where the drive-thru stacking lane will be and the generous length of the stacking lane, there would be no reason that the drive-thru would have any negative impact on improvements to the surrounding properties as well as any improvements to the existing property. 4. The addition of the drive-thru to the already existing strip center will have no real impact on any of the necessary facilities to the center such as utilities, access roads, drainage or anything else. Since there are already 3 entrances/exits to the strip center and the intersection where the strip center is located is already controlled by a traffic light, the impact on the access roads will be minimal. Also, at no time will the stacking lane have any impact on any of the entrances or exits to the property. 5. The drive-thru will be located within a B-3 zoned area and will have no impact on the ability of the strip center to conform to all applicable regulations.
