PALM COAST The site plan is finished and the building permit is inching closer to approval for the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Flagler County, a city official has announced.

Ray Tyner, planning manager for Palm Coast, said the full approvals of the main building permit will take place very shortly for the restaurant, which is expected to be 4,390 square feet and will be built at 1000 Palm Coast Parkway NW.

Construction will begin following the demolition of the old structure that occupies the lot, which once housed a Perkins Restaurant. That Perkins location was closed in the spring of 2013.

Everything at the location will be redone, said Tyner, including the parking lot.

The new restaurant will be in proximity to various other dining chains near the Boulder Rock Drive intersection, including Outback Steakhouse, Houligans, Ruby Tuesday and Bob Evans.

Mark Baldwin, a Chick-fil-A spokesman, said the upcoming restaurant will feature a standard design with a dining room, playground and drive-thru service.

Baldwin said the company is in the extremely early stages for the new restaurant, but the plan is to open the location in the spring of 2015.

On average, a restaurant of that size employs between 60 to 80 people, said Baldwin.

Until the new restaurant opens, the closest Chick-fil-A locations for Flagler residents are scattered in various places across St. Augustine, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. There are also locations in Ormond Beach, Port Orange, Orange City and Edgewater.
