The indicated capacity for the proposed restaurant is 150 <br />seats requiring 75 parking spaces. 85 spaces are shown <br />on the site plan. <br /> <br />5. Access to the property would be via two driveway easements <br />of adjacent property. Such access is subject to Council <br />approval. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />As noted, the proposed use is for a Godfather's Pizza Restaurant. <br />The restaurant would service both Its it dovm" and "take-out II <br />customers. Overall, the sit~ iayollt appears to be adequate with <br />sufficient room for ingress, egress and internal circulation. <br /> <br />tit <br /> <br />The compatibility of this proposed use with the adjacent <br />apartments is of prime impo:t:'tau..::e. rl'he Comprehens ive Plan <br />eypresses the desire thai: any ,;or:lme:r:cial use be well buffered <br />from the apartments. The ZO:-lin:] Cede requires th~t a 15 foot <br />huffer strip be provided along the northern portion of the <br />restaurant property, and that that screening either in the form <br />of an evergreen hedge or fence bE provided.

A 3uggestion perhaps <br />is that a 3 - 4 foot berm be provided in the buffer zone <br />with the i~dicated spruce t~S8S plunted on top of the berm.
