<br />As an accessory use to the principal operation of the restaurant <br />a drive thru lane is proposed on the west side of the building. <br />A ten foot wide vehicle queuing lane will provide 130 feet of <br />length to the window for approximately 7 - 8 cars. The queuing <br />lane is not the only means of access on to the premises. A <br />twenty (20) wide, one way, bypass lane will circulate traffic in a <br />counter-clockwise loop around the building. <br /> <br />The two primary entrances/exits are located on the east and west <br />elevations of the building. The door located on the west side of <br />the building is 10cated approximately ten (10) feet south of the <br />drive up window. <br /> <br />Parking and internal access are granted by easement from Chan- <br />delle Properties in favor of the applicant. The number of spaces <br />and layout has been approved by the Louisville Plaza Final Devel- <br />opment Plan. The site is served with two (2) handicapped parking <br />spaces. <br /> <br />STAFF COMMENTS: <br /> <br />The location of the west entrance in relation to the drive up <br />window does minimize the need for patrons using the west parking <br />area to cut between cars in the queuing lane. However, pedestrian <br />traffic from the west parking area must cross in front of cars <br />waiting to be served at the window. <br /> <br />staff would recommend that the drive-thru lane be striped, <br />marked, or otherwise distinctly delineated. <br /> <br />Signage proposed by the applicant includes two (2), 33 s.f., <br />single face mansard roof eave signs and a six (6) foot monument <br />sign. <br /> <br />The monument sign was not authorized by the final development <br />plan for Louisville Plaza, but could be authorized by this plan. <br />staff does not object to the addition of the monument sign. Sign <br />location should be shifted so as not to block vision of drivers <br />executing backing movements into the traffic aisle. Staff re- <br />quests that a sign elevation be included on the final development <br />plan. . <br /> <br />The Colorado Division of Highways indicate that the location of <br />the access on Highway 42 which will serve Hardee's is consistent <br />with the State Highway 42 Access Control Plan. <br /> <br />The proposed use is compatible with uses by right authorized by <br />the Louisville Plaza General Development Plan. <br /> <br />2 <br />
