He noted that one of the concerns they have is the poor condition of the sidewalks, <br />especially next to the sign where the last 20-30' of sidewalk is in bad shape. He stated that they <br />would like to replace those sidewalks now, rather than wait until the City's planned <br />reconstruction in 2012, and requested that the sidewalk replacement either be accelerated by the <br />City or to allow them to do the work and get some reimbursement from the City. <br />Councilmember Stille requested clarification regarding how someone would place an order at the <br />drive-thru window. <br />Mr. Abney stated that drivers will place their order face to face after viewing the menu board <br />located within six feet of the drive-thru window. <br />Councilmember Gray stated that this restaurant will be a great addition to the City. He expressed <br />continuing concern about the two-way driving into the parking lot, especially coming out of the <br />drive-thru window, and felt this represented too much risk instead of having people come in on <br />the south end and exiting on the north side to avoid conflicts. <br />Mr. Abney stated if this were a typical drive-thru with a significant amount of business, perhaps <br />they would be more concerned, but they do not anticipate that the drive-thru window will be <br />used enough to create traffic conflicts. <br />Mayor Faust stated that the City Ordinance is clear regarding hours of operation and businesses <br />are not allowed to be open from 1 :00 a.m. to 5 :00 a.m .; as a result, if the applicant later requests <br />a 24-hour operation, it is unlikely that the request will be granted based on current Ordinance. <br />He advised that staff will discuss the sidewalk replacement issue with the applicant, and added <br />that he is not aware of the City ever having provided reimbursement to a developer for sidewalk <br />replacement. <br />Councilmember Stille stated that he would like to add a sixth condition requiring only face-to- <br />face ordering at the drive-thru window, with no electronic enhancement or speaker system, to <br />avoid any negative impact to the residential properties planned near this location in the future. <br />Ms. Tammy Smith appeared before the City Counci l and stated the drive-thru window concept is <br />a new concept intended to compensate for the smaller seating capacity in the restaurant and to <br />provide a new service to customers that allows them to order limited items without having to <br />leave their car. She indicated that the drive-tJu·u window will only serve coffee, smoothi es, <br />bagels, or cinnamon rolls, and is intended to get customers in and out in less than two minutes. <br />She added that this service will always be face to face and she did not foresee a lot of business <br />with this limited menu. <br />Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution I 0- <br />052, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Restaurant located at 3701 Stinson Boulevard <br />and that is within 250 feet of a Residential Strncture of Distiict. <br />Motion carried unanimously.
