Joel Strassman, Planning and Zoning Officer
SUBJECT: Building, Site, and Sign Alterations for Dunkin Donuts Drive Through at Shell Gas Station
108 North Batavia Avenue
Steve Vasilion, Vasilion Architects, Inc., applicant
Harry Mehta, owner of the Shell gas station at the corner of Batavia Avenue and Houston Street is seeking to add a
Dunkin’ Donuts franchise inside the approximately 3,360 square foot building along with the addition of a drive
through service lane and adding ordering and pick-up windows. The property covers 0.54 acres. The property is
Non-Contributing.
Last month, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) and Plan Commission held a public hearing for several site and sign
variances and for the required conditional use to add a drive through. Two (2) of the variances addressed the lack of
separation of the subject property and its drive through lane from the residential property/residence to the north
necessary for approval of the conditional use. Variances to add monument sign area and wall signage also were
considered. Other variances requested were for the narrowness of the drive through lane, parking geometry and
wheel stops, and omitting landscaping in the 50 foot Batavia Avenue setback area. Complete itemization and
analysis of all zoning and land use issues are provided in the January 14, 2016 staff report to the ZBA/Commission.
The ZBA recommended approval of variances that would allow the wall and canopy signs as proposed, with the
condition of no additional illuminated elements are allowed on the north facing canopy edge. The ZBA
recommended denial of the variance to increase the monument’s sign area to add the proposed Dunkin’ Donuts panel.
The ZBA did state that if the City Council is to consider approving the variance, a condition should be made to lower
the monument sign to 8 feet in height.
The ZBA recommended approval for the more minor site alteration variances, but recommended denial for the 2
variances for the lack of separation of the drive through from the residential property to the north. Subsequently, the
Plan Commission recommended denial of the conditional use for the drive through. The Plan Commission continued
its consideration of the design review to accommodate a possible approval of the project by the City Council.
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) items for the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to consider include:
1. Building alterations (redesigned facades, drive through windows)
2. Wall and canopy signs
3. Monument sign change
4. Retaining wall and retaining wall parapet design
The HPC may consider the COA items as if the City Council were to approve the variances and conditional use. The
HPC’s approval, conditional approval, or denial of the COA shall not be taken as an endorsement or opposition to the
land use and zoning issues. In the alternative, the HPC can continue its review, with or without comments on the
merits of the design changes. The COA would return to the HPC only if the City Council approves the project.

2.2.5 LEVEL 1 FASCIA
LEVEL 1
Level 1 is intended for all NTIs and KDRs unless
prohibited by local legislation. Level 1 is also
intended for all primary and strong secondary
competitive conversion sites.
The Level 1 fascia should be used on the most
prominent sides, usually the front and most
visible sides. The Level 2 fascia should be
applied to the less visible sides.
CANOPY FASCIA
The Level 1 canopy edge treatment consists
of a Shell Yellow curved fascia panel attached
to a Shell White flat fascia, while an internally
illuminated LED Shell Red bar provides both red
illumination to the bar and face illumination to
the yellow field.
PECTEN PANEL ILLUMINATION
The illumination of the Pecten is mandatory
on all levels.
