MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 12, 2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. 13. ##16-3856 SARYAN CUISINE DEVELOPMENT, LLC, ON BEHALF OF PAUL AGRE COMPANY, 2380 SHADYWOOD ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE PERNIIT (continued) Fridley noted that this building, when it existed as a drug store, had a drive-through. That drive-through will not be used for the cafd and the flow of the parking lot will remain the same with a point of access on the north and south. Fridley noted there is significant parking onsite. Fridley stated as they looked at the property, they realized this was located in the B-5 zone. Fridley noted this is the only parcel in that B-5 zone in this area. The entire building will be used for the bakery/cafe component and will be owner occupied upon completion of the project. Fridley indicated they looked at the alternatives for a B-5 zone. Section 80A of the conditional use section for the B-5 zone specifically defines coffee or bagel or retail stores and then sets forth the conditions. Fridley noted their proposal meets the 50 percent of the gross floor area condition, the square footage condition is met, the required parking spaces are met, and seating is limited to 60 seats. Fridley noted the bakery cafd/retail area will total 32 percent of the building. There will be a wall physically separating that from the production kitchen, which is where all the food will be prepared at night. The space at the bottom will consist of display cases and an area where customers can pick out products. The upper part to the right is the kitchen area, with counters in front of it. The portion marked with X's is anticipated to be ventilation hoods. Storage for those products will be below that. Fridley stated the indoor seating area will be limited to 60 seats and the ADA accessible bathrooms will be kept as well as the vestibule. The hallway allowing access to the offices and to the parking lot will remain. Fridley pointed out the parking area to the left closest to County Road 19 contains 20 regular parking spaces and three handicapped spaces as it is currently laid out. Each parking space is 9 -foot wide. Those spaces will remain. In addition, there is room behind the building for three parking stalls that employees can utilize. There is also room to create six parking spaces along the side of the building and still maintain the flow for emergency vehicles. The area to the northeast has nine parking spaces as well as the triangle. Counting all those spots, there are a total of 68 spaces with the current configuration. Fridley stated as they looked at the use, it requires 63 spaces. Fridley noted there is also an easement agreement on the chain of title for this property as well as the Voyageur property. Page 2 of that agreement provides for a cross -parking easement over the 18 parking spaces on the Culver's property. If those 18 spaces are added in, there are a total of 83 parking spots. Fridley stated in his view there is adequate parking for both businesses. Fridley displayed a photograph of what the fully stocked counter will look like. Walsh noted the Planning Commission recommended no liquor license be issued for the premises. Walsh asked what their plans are in that regard for the future. Fridley stated they initially requested a beer and wine license, which only accounts for between 2.4 and 4 percent of their sales and is not material to the business. Fridley stated if they were to look at it down the road, they would seek a complex change in the ordinance. Page 8 of 34
