SUBJECT:
A Resolution Approving a Final Plan on the property located at 2440 S. Eola Road for an ice cream Restaurant with a Drive-Through Facility Use (2530) (Bruster's Real Ice Cream - 22-0041 / WH07/2-22.010-Fpn - JS - Ward 9)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Bruster's Real Ice Cream is requesting approval of a Final Plan for the property located at 2440 S. Eola Road for a Drive-Through Facility (2530) Use

A Preliminary Plat and Plan for the entire Northeastern corner of Eola and Shiloh was approved in 2001 while a Final Plan for the corner (excluding the lot in question) was approved in 2002.
The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plan for a Drive-Through Facility (2530) Use. The proposed restaurant will be a Drive-Through ice cream shop. All seating will take place outdoors, the indoors will only be used for production and serving of ice cream. Ice cream can be ordered either from the Drive-Through window or the walk-up windows on the western side of the building.
The proposal currently has 23 parking spaces and meets the minimum of 10 vehicles stacking from the drive thru window. Critical to the business operation is the ability of a semi-truck to be able to navigate throughout the site in order to drop off and pick up supplies. In order to accomplish this, the Right-In Right-Out access is being modified in a way that would allow a semi-truck to enter and exit the site safely, while also maintaining and adequate landscape island to break up the parking lot. The Zoning and Planning Staff is working with the developers to increase the landscaping along Eola Road and the northern property line.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Final Plan Resolution petition and have sent comments back to the petitioner on those submittals...
