Please see details below - I am fully supportive of this addition to our community for several reasons. The projections for sales at this restaurant would add ~$1.3 million of sales to the tax base in Oak Park. As a community without serious industry, that is a significant number. Additionally, the restaurant would provide jobs in our community, particularly for our youth. Last but not least, the restaurant will provide a source of reasonably priced food for our community. Let me know if you have questions, but I would love to ask for your support for this.
Ampler Development desires to build a new freestanding Taco Bell franchise building with an accessory drive-thru at Roosevelt and Austin. They have a hearing on March 4, 2020 before the Zoning Board of Appeals to allow for the operation of a drive-thru. With the design of any site layout, it is important to remain cognizant of the drive-thru’s proximity to neighboring residential properties. To ensure that sound at the drive-thru is directed away from neighbors, the building site has been oriented such that the impact of sound will be directed toward Roosevelt Road, not residential sites. A traffic study has been completed that shows that there will be minimal impact on traffic. Regarding the business’ hours of operation – the building is expected to be in operation 7 days a week. The store’s hours of operation would begin at 7 A.M. and close at 1 A.M. from Sunday - Thursday. On weekends however, closing time would most likely be extended to 2 A.M. The dining room shall close at 11 P.M. daily, while the drive-thru window would operate until closing. Considering the site’s present condition, we feel that the landscape improvements proposed to be a noticeable improvement. The applicant recognizes that the site is one of the Village’s major corners and is prepared to make these enhancements. One of the proposed improvements includes the existing planter along Austin Blvd., which will also be touched-up with new plantings so that there is a harmonious relationship with the proposed landscape on-site. Overall, the addition of this building and drive-thru will prove beneficial to the community by providing a valuable service.
