Frontage Road West) Dear Mr. Campbell, As we have discussed, our client McDonald's USA, LLC, is planning the redevelopment of their existing restaurant located at 2171 N. Frontage Road West. The proposed development will include an approximately 3,330 S.F. building with generous bicycle parking, tandem drive-thru capability, enhanced landscaping, new lighting, and seating for approximately 70 patrons. As part of the proposed development, the existing site will be razed and new pavement, lighting, utilities, and landscaping will be provided. The site is located at 2171 N. Frontage Road West. The site is bounded on the north and east by an existing shopping center, on the west by a hotel and drive aisle, and on the south North Frontage Road. SITE �M1 i ° , ,s • mot" West Vail s As you can see from the enclosed Site Plan, careful consideration was given to the layout of the planned McDonald's site with one-way traffic rotation around the periphery of the lot. By doing this, the layout affords access to the site without stacking traffic into the shopping center drive aisle. During the concept phase of the project, McDonald's team looked several different building orientations, and traffic circulation options. The layout shown on the attached plans affords the best access to the site, while routing the drive thru traffic away from the shopping 8235 Cottongrass Court•Castle Pines•CO•80108 Email: rpalmer @strategicls.net Phone:720.384.7661 Website:http://www.strategicls.net �' I. Mr. Warren Campbell Strateqi[Land Mutions, Inc Letter of Intent Civil Engineering-Land Planning•Entitlements Friday-April 05, 2013 Page 2 center drive aisles. During the concept phase McDonald's team looked at rotating the site layout 180-degrees, but found that the drive thm traffic would stack into the adjacent drive aisle, congesting traffic within the shopping center. The site currently operates 24 hours a day, with the lobby open from 5:00 am until 10:00 pm. The new restaurant will operate the same hours. A typical day and evening shift will require 20- employees. Approximately 50 employees will be utilized to operate all shifts at the restaurant. Delivers are expected three times a week during non-peak hours. Trash service is also expected three to four times a week occurring during non-peak times. The new site will use landscape to screen adjacent uses and roads. The adjacent uses are commercial/retail, and this site is an operational McDonald's, so no conflicts are expected. All access to the site is taken from internal shopping center drives, with no direct access to N. Frontage Road. As part of this development the building roof drains will be captured by an underground storm drain system, which will help eliminate ice in the parking lot. Additionally, snow storage has been provided adjacent to the drive aisles and parking locations. As described in this letter McDonald's is planning to raze their existing restaurant and build a new modern facility. The existing facility will be taken to dirt with new lighting, landscaping pavements, and a new building. McDonald's team has worked to develop the site layout, and to develop architectural elevations which meet the zoning and vision for the area. If you have questions regarding what is proposed,please feel free to call me. Thank you! Sincerely, ST TEGIC LAND SOLUTIONS, INC. Robert J.
