MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 10, 2008 Duray asked about the action items before the Commission this evening. The Planner indicated that the action items are for Preliminary P1aY, Amendment to PUD Permit, and Architectural Review. Final Plat will come back to the Commission for action. Barraclough asked about moving the County Road C access point further east. Lemiander reported that he would look at this and discuss it with his client and the County. He indicated that initially the driveway was at the east corner, but given the grades and the location of the vet clinic access, that location was not feasible. Knudsen noted that currently vehicles stacking at the traffic light make this entrance inaccessible at times. Mike Helling, MGM, asked how much taller the CVS building would be than the north building. Lennander reported that it would be taller. Helling stated that it appears the CVS building will be about 20 to 25 feet further west than the north building. Lennander replied that that was correct. Helling indicated that he is concerned that his exposure to the south would be cut off by the CVS building. He also noted that it appears the Rice Street access point is being moved further to the north. Lennander replied that that is correct. Helling noted that he currently has parking along the south wall of his building. It appears that that row of parking is being eliminated given the need for a more formal circulation plan between the two buildings due to the CVS pharmacy drive-tlu•ough traffic. Helling noted that his loading dock is in the back of his store, and was concerned about truck delivery access for his space without driving around the north side of his building. Helling asked where CVS deliveries would be made. Lennander replied that CVS deliveries will be made to a door on the northwest corner of the building. Helling was concerned that he would be losing one handicapped parking spot in the front of his building. He was also concerned that when CVS is receiving a delivery, the access drive between the two buildings would be tied up. He noted that this is where drive-through pharmacy customers will be exiting. Helling asked if the CVS building could be moved further to the south. Lennander replied that that would be difficult since they cannot change the easement agreement they reached with the veterinary clinic. He also noted that project approval has already gone through a lengthy process with CVS. Duray asked how wide the spacing is between the two buildings. Lennander estimated more than 20 feet. -9-
