TO: David McKnnon, City of Meridian MAIL O
RE: `'Proposed Carls Jrproject nearG77 E. ~", Meridian •- ~ ---- --
FAX G~ Z pages
Phil Atteberry, owner of the KFClABW Restaurant at 677 E. 1s` Street in Meridian,
Idaho, requested an analysis of the Site Plan proposed by Carls Jr. for an additional
drive-thru restaurant on this site. We have reviewed the proposed site plan and offer
the following conclusions:
• Studies of other local Carls Jr. stores have shown they can stack upwards of 8 to 10
cars at high volume times. Stacking that many cars on this site would negatively
impact the main, ingress/egress road on this site, as well as access to the KFC/A&W
Restaurant.
The exit of Carls Drive-Thru lane creates an awkward traffic pattern at it`s location on
the site. An exiting customer would be required to potentially navigate their way in
between two intersecting two-way drives, in addition to encountering poor visibility
around the Carls building itself.
S• The addition of the Carls Jr. Drive-Thru presents a problem with interior pedestrian
access on this site. Any access path to Carls Jr. would require passing through the
Drive-Thru lane, which poses a safety risk to the pedestrian. Projects in Meridian
with similar types of drive-thru configurations have been denied in the past.
It is our assessment that while one drive-thru operation functions quite well as currently
constructed on this site, the solution proposed by the Carls Jr. plan of adding another
drive-thru use creates site flow and access problems that make the plan unfeasible.
Additionally, the Meridian City Council has previously denied similar proposals for this
site, stating that they will not accept any additional drive-thru use on this parcel.
