M. Mize, Biskind Development Company, and Mr. Koury, owner, presented plans for the 9,200 square foot restaurant which also includes the access road onto Great Northern Boulevard that was previously required by the city. A variance will be required for signage (16 square feet) and, depending on the Building Commissioners ruling, variances will be necessary for either 17 or 34 parking spaces. He further explained that this restau- rant includes a larger food preparaticn area than most restaurants have. Mr. Mize presented a colored rendering of the building and landscape plan, explaining that the parking lot lighting will be a duplicate of that at the Radisson Inn. He presented copies of a Corporate Center Parking Accumulation Study showing the parking used at various peak times as well as a list showing current code parking, variance parking, shared parking, and landbanked parking. They are currently undertaking a traffic impact study which will show the effect of the new access road on the existing traffic. City Engineer Cesen stated that this proposal will be affected by the EPA ban on sanitary sewer connections, explaining that at this time, the city believes that building permitscan be issued providing that the developers are aware of the fact that they may not get a sewer connection. Mr. Koury stated that he would still like to go forward with the approvals, but they might have to alter their construction dates if the ban is not lifted. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that since the city was only advised of this ban on Monday, he has no idea when the issue will be resolved. Mr. Gorris would like a plan showing exactly where this building will be in relation to other buildings in the center. It was explained that it will be located where a parking structure was planned previously and that the Council has approved the change to the preliminary land use plan. It was further pointed out that the design of this building is similar to that of the restaurant at their other location. R. Bierman
