still working on this. The Petitioner proposed two types,underneath the awnings,and the goose-neck lights over the
awnings. They proposed additional wall path lights will be installed to illuminate the drive thru. Brad: At Committee,
Ican you show where the lights will be at? Eric Gleissner: The lights will be mounted underneath and above the
awnings. The goose neck lights are accent and aesthetic lighting. They don't provide much illumination. It is important
to us to have the drive-thru illuminated well. We will continue to work on this with staff as we go forward to the
Committee.
Josh: What are the materials that will be used on the building? Is there something else that can be considered besides
the stone?I feel this stone material product is overplayed. Eric Gleissner: We won't have any issues to substitute this
with something else. The architect has been working with Staff on this. Josh: I would like to make a recommendation
to the Committee to look into other materials.
Sue: Is there any stacking limit on the drive thru? Rachel: The Michigan Road Overlay has certain stacking
requirements,and it's the only overlay that has the requirement of 10 spaces for restaurants with a drive thru.Eric
Gleissner: Our restaurant in Westfield has a similar layout. I rarely see it stacked past 10 spaces. If we were to be over
capacity,we have plenty of room to stack them. I don't think that will be an issue. Brad: At the BZA hearing,we were
told this restaurant does a higher rate of sit down dining then drive thru service. Sue: I just have a safety concern with
people parking their cars and backing up to the cars waiting in line.
Alan: Can you bring more detailed renderings to the Committee meeting? Bring more details of what it will look like as
you approach the menu order area at the drive thru. Are there one or two lanes? Eric Gleissner: There will be two lanes
that merge into one lane as they come to the side of the building. Alan: Can you bring a better drawing to better depict
this? Eric Gleissner: I can bring that to the Committee meeting.
Alan: Do the windows have glass block or cement block? Eric Gleissner: It's just a bricked-in(looking)window. It's
Ia building accent to simulate a window. It's a different brick to break up the facade.
Alan: Will you have answers to the Staff's outstanding items? Eric Gleissner: We will have comments to provide the
Staff. We will continue to work with Staff on the awning design, lighting details,vehicular and sidewalk connections to
the north,and regional waste approvals. The landscape plan will be finalized with the Urban Forester.
Brad: Will the roof top mechanics be screened or hidden on the roof? Eric Gleissner: Sheet A3 in the packet shows
the mechanical units. They will be completely screened in.
Brad: I'm concerned with the durability of the awning materials and it looking cheap. Are there other durable options
for materials to be used as the awning? Can you address that in Committee? Eric Gleissner: Yes
Nick: For the blocked in brick windows,maybe put in fake windows instead of brick. Eric Gleissner: I will work with
Staff and the Architect to see if that's possible.
