Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence - 129 MAIN STREET 6/20/1990 MEMORANDUM TO: D. Robert Nicetta FROM: Christian C. Huntress, Town Planner. DATE: June 20, 1990 RE: 129 Main Street, Chinese Fast Food Establishment. I have reviewed the plans for the proposed Fast Food Restaurant at 129 Main Street and it is my interpretation that this business will be required to apply to the Planning Board for Site Plan Review. This applicant has received a variance for the amount of parking required under the bylaw from the Zoning Board of Appeals, this does not relieve that applicant from the requirements found in section 8 . 3 of the Zoning Bylaw. Please instruct the applicant to contact my office at his earliest convenience. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact my office. ------------ - r2,fi 7, 1o,o _ ba/t, V ✓� '' Joseph D. ]"JaGrasse & Associates, 'Inc.

HOURS OF OPERATION The China-Wok will be open to the public from 11: 30 am to 10: 00 pm six or seven days per week. PAGE 2 NORTH ANDOVER PLANNING BOARD SITE PLAN REVIEW ITEM NO. 6 . . . TRAFFIC GENERATION The China Wok will generate customers throughout the hours of operation. A good daily customer order count will be 12 orders per hour for non peak hours (2 : 00 pm to 6: 00 pm and 8 : 00 pm to 10: 00 pm) . The bulk of orders will be made at peak times. The anticipated peak hours are 2 hours Monday through Friday 12 : 00 Noon to 2 : 00 pm and 2 hours in the evening 7 : 00 pm to 9 : 00 pm in summer or 6: 00 pm to 8 : 00 pm in winter. Saturday and Sunday are non-peak times totally except for Saturday evening 7 : 00 pm to 9 : 00 pm. The peak time customer count is anticipated to be approximately 40 orders or + 20 orders per hour for a 2 hour duration. It is anticipacted that a small percentage of orders will be walk in customers that would be doing business on Main street. most orders will be call in orders establishing a very low rate of parking time per customer. Non Peak Operation generating an average of 12 orders per hour will generate the use of one or two parking spaces every 5 minutes. Call in orders will yield a waiting time of 3 to 5 minutes allowing for overlap and waiting times non-peak operation will require 3 spaces for a good solution considering call in orders, drive-in orders, and walk-in non-vehicular orders. Peak Hours or lunch and dinner time the customer count will almost double to approximately 20 orders per hour. In the peak hours, it will be anticipated that lunch and dinner customer have limited time, therefore foot preparation revolves around a fast in out time. Call in orders will be served within a customer waiting time of 3 minutes. Drive-in orders will be served within a waiting time of 5 minutes. Allowing for overlap and walk-in customers, 4 parking spaces will allow an average circulation of patrons throughout the 2 peak hours. Joseph : .
