MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 27, 2011 immediately into the building. McGraw noted Wagner's comments at the Planning Commission meeting that if the store is viable, a drive - through drop -off may be added. Wagner stated that he indicated that he asked the architect if there was room for a drive - through drop -off. It was determined that there is room, and Wagner indicated that if the thrift store is successful a drive- through could be put in like the newer Goodwill concept. However, this is not part of the approval that is being requesting this evening. Wagner also pointed out that the Athletic Fit business enters at the back of the building and their customers park in that location. Any problem with dumping in that area will not be tolerated. The owners of Athletic Fit appeared before the Council and reported their need for additional square footage as well as their desire to remain in the building. Wagner reported that if Neato Scan is required to move into this building, then Athletic Fit cannot expand. He also reported that there may still be the need to re- arrange the allocation of floor space within the building. McGraw asked if adding the thrift store and expanding Athlete Fit improved the financial situation for the building. The City Administrator reported that he had not analyzed the lease rates, but stated that a fully occupied building would make the project stronger. Wager reported that the building currently cash flows, and the additional leases drop 100% to the bottom line. Blesener suggested that the Council first address the amendment to the PUD -B District to add thrift store as an allowable use and then deal with the Graba Loan Agreement later in the agenda. The City Administrator pointed out that the Council cannot approve an amendment to the Loan Agreement this evening as it would have to be redrafted. The Loan Agreement is an agenda item so that the Council can discuss its position on amendment the Agreement relative to Neato Scan. There was no one else present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Keis, the public hearing was closed. The City Planner again noted that the proposed ordinance in the agenda includes the addition of sports training facilities, spas and salons, as well as thrift stores to the list of approved uses. Mr. Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 9
