Glendale Ave and N. 55" Drive. !ama licensed civil engineer here in Phoenix and will be preparing most of the documents for the initial preliminary submittals as well as final permit and construction documents. Owner Information — The owner of this Pete’s Fish and Chips is Steve Garday and he has been at this location and owner and operator for over 20 years. Steve is a Glendale resident and is excited to have finally acquired the two lots to the north of his restaurant to begin his onsite parking expansion project. Project scope and request — The owner has acquired the two vacant dirt lots to the north of his restaurant and wants to expand his parking and change the logistics of how people enter the site and go through the drive-through. During busy restaurant hours cars are backed up out on to W. Glendale Ave. Mr. Garday wishes to alleviate this congestion, increase the efficiency of customers coming and going, as well as increase traffic safety on W. Glendale Ave. There are no proposed vertical structure to the existing restaurant. Simply wanting to pave these vacant dirt lots and add parking and a new drive- through path for customers entering the site. Instead of entering off of W. Glendale Ave, customers will now enter from N. 55™ Drive. The existing entrance from Glendale will be used for deliveries only. Existing Site Description — The existing site is a Pete’s Fish and Chips restaurant and drive-through. The two lots that will be used for parking expansion are currently vacant undeveloped dirt lots. The existing site has landscaping trees and shrubs at the frontages of Glendale Ave and 55" Drive. The existing onsite parking area has light poles, seating areas, and a few landscape islands. Impact to Adjacent Properties — The impact to the adjacent properties to the north and east should be to reduce the amount of traffic congestion. Arriving customers will be allowed to enter in a more orderly manner and there will be more area onsite for parking and traffic flow. There should be an overall reduction in customer disruptions to the adjacent businesses. Potential Issues — There is an existing street light pole on 55" drive where we are wanting the main drive-through site entrance to be. This project will need to relocate that street light pole. Project Timing — The owner would like to start construction in October of 2022. Sincerely, Prefling Engineering Vi Michael Prefling, P.E. Owner
