CASE NO.: 1105 -0 22504 .SU/SPR CULVERS RESTAURANT Request: Special Use and Site Plan Review (Public hearing) Location: Lot #10 in Menards of Plainfield Applicant: Supper Scoops, Inc. Started: 8 :46 pm Valerie H astings read the Staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the Village Engineer saw any problems. He said no. Semi -trucks will encroach entrance and drive -thru aisles but restricting deliveries to non -normal hours should solve this problem. Chairman So bkoviak swore in the group from Supper Scoops, Inc. Brian Farrel (the owener/operator) wanted to get the Plan Commission to take on this project. He is agreeable to most of the changes the staff recommended. However, some of the changes are difficult. The ladder in back, for instance, is for easy access to the mechanicals. Regarding the fascia – from a maintenance standpoint, it is easier to keep this metal material clean, and it is difficult to tell that it is metal unless you are up close. Commissio ner Kachel said that he is glad to see Culvers in the area. They did a nice job architecturally. He agrees that the look of the building can be different, but there are other corporate colors in that area. Chairman Sobkoviak said that there is a relianc e on cedar, but it weathers. Metal is easier to maintain. Commissioner Kachel said that he was worried about material collection on cedar. Chairman Sobkoviak said that they can compromise by changing the color of the metal. Commissioner Henry asked wha t Staff wanted. Ms. Hastings said that they originally wanted a cedar roof and fascia. They compromised to a blue -gray roof, and Staff wants a cream color to break up between the roof and the building. She understands the need for the metal material. C ommissioner Kachel thought that the window and fascia should coordinate. Culvers is an ice cream shop, so he thought that white would go with this image. Commissioner Manning said he thought that the applicant was on the right track and Mr. Farrle seems agreeable. A discussion ensued regarding the cream color on the fascia and window frame. Commissioner Racich said that people come to Culvers for the product not the color and thinks it would be good to tone down the colors on the building. Commissioner Kachel 4 said that he would be agreeable to this if the windows are the same color as the fascia. Mr. Farrel said that that he will look into this with the material and window vendors. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if Staff is confident that the applicant can come to ag reements on this before meeting with the Board. Ms. Hastings said she was. Ms. Hastings said that number 5 on her list of requests from the applicant should be stricken as there is already a Culver’s sign to the North. It was clarified which w all this was for and why. Chairman Sobkoviak asked about the parking lot plan. There are seven parking spaces on the East side; he wanted to know who this was for. Mr. Farrel said that these would be for employees. Chairman Sobkoviak said that he had n o objection if these were for employees. A discussion ensued regarding parking and traffic flow. The Village Engineer said that the bypass lane around the drive -thru is acceptable. Commissioner Kachel asked about the semi -truck concern. The Village Eng ineer showed him where the two potential trouble spots would be. Mr. Farrel said that he gets two deliveries a week at his other store, and both have a 5am delivery. Commissioner Kachel asked a question regarding the elevation and mechanicals. Ms. Hasti ngs explained where the mechanicals stick up. Mr. Farrel said that only part of the mechanicals show and not from the ground. Commissioner Kachel said that he would worry about this if it faced a different direction, but he understands the concern with a ccess and the building backs up to Menards. A discussion ensued regarding access to the mechanicals. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. None was offered. Denny Forse, of the group from Supper Scoops, said that fire codes in othe r cities require the mechanicals to be where they are. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any other issues. Commissioner Kachel said that he likes the landscaping and water plans. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the Staff had indicated that the applica nt would work on a buffer to the North and the pond. He expected this to be accomplished before going to the Board. Mr. Farrel asked about what they are trying to accomplish price -wise for the pond/water area. Commissioner Kachel suggested talking to so me of the neighboring facilities. Chairman Sobkoviak said they would have to talk to Staff. The commission is not allowed to talk about prices. 5 Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the commission was okay with the site plan and special use. They were. At 9:30 p m, Commissioner Kachel moved to recommend approval of the Site Plan Review/Special Use for Culver’s, Lot 10 Menards of Plainfield subject to the following stipulations: 1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer. 2. Compliance with the provision s of the Plainfield Fire Protection District. 3.
