MILTON, Del. – Plans for a new Dairy Queen restaurant in Milton moved forward this week after the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave unanimous preliminary approval for the project.
The proposed 2,100-square-foot restaurant will include a drive-thru and 33 parking spaces, and will be located in the Cypress Grove development off Route 16.
The site is next to a planned Dunkin Donuts, with both establishments sharing an entrance from the main road. The property is zoned C-1 commercial. Revised plans include relocating the dumpster and loading zone for improved access and incorporating a monument-style ground sign that complies with town code.
Earlier sign variance requests were dropped in favor of updated signage plans that meet regulations. The commission’s approval came with several conditions, including the addition of a stop sign at the exit, designated bike racks, and updates to parking space dimensions. Dairy Queen must still receive approval from state and Sussex County officials before returning to the town for final approval.
