Proposed improvements for: 2377 Shadywood Road Orono, MN This property is currently zoned B-1. Our plan is to open a coffee-shop/Bakery/restaurant with a drive-up window. We need a CUP to do this. 1. Remove all overgrown shrubs in tlie front of the property. Replace tliese with smaller bushes and some larger shade trees in tlie front center yard. 2. Add on a 20 X 32.3 addition to the rear of the stnicture. Tliis area will be the kitchen and entry to the restaurant. The existing living room will be the dining area with access to the outside deck. Ihe existing kitchen will be part of the new kitchen. 3. Remove the tlircc season porch and the shed from the north side of the structure. The current setback is 16.9 ’. By retiioving these two areas, we increase the setback to 26.7’. Wc will still need a variance since we understand the side yard setback is 35 ’. 4. Add on a 12 ’ X 24.9 ’ deck to the south side of the structure for outdoor dining in nice weather. 5. Enlarge existing rest room to conform to handicap access. 6. Add a drive up window to rear of building. 7. Currently there arc Uu’ec parallel paiking spaces in tlie rear. We would increase this to four spaces and they would face inward. We would also utilize the rear municipal parking lot adjacent to tlic property. Wc have already been assessed for this parking lot. 8. Add plantings and shrubs around the parking area and drivc-up area to separate them. 9. Plant flowers and slirubs around entire lot to increase the curb appeal. After running a coffee shop in Long l>ake for 6 years, (Lake Country Coffee), and one in Mound for 19 years, 1 can honestly say we have tlie experience to do this right. We are excited to bring a new business to Orono and know that many of our customers in Mound and Long I^e will follow us there. We need the drive-up to make this succe.ssful. 0 •• A .* •I c .') ^4/ < • J I
