Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> August 16, 2005 <br /> Page 15 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Chair Stromgren noted that a stoop could include a ramp or stairs and suggested further <br /> 3 clarifying and considering a second process. He stated that they can't address every unique issue <br /> 4 but it could be better clarified. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Commissioner Jensen stated that the concern is that many of the properties were dealing with <br /> 7 life-saving improvements, which prompted the need to amend the verbiage within the code <br /> 8 language. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that she likes the live-saving verbiage and reviewed with the <br /> 11 Commission. She suggested including the words `either'; `or'; and `and' to provide further <br /> 12 clarification. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Commissioner Jensen stated that a lot of different window-well styles are being introduced into <br /> 15 the marketplace that include staircases and are not just 3-feet deep anymore. He stated that some <br /> 16 of these differences should be considered. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that Staff would prefer to be a proactive participant rather than a code <br /> 19 enforcer with restrictions. She stated that Staff has received several calls this summer regarding <br /> 20 the installation of egress windows adding that she would run their suggestions by City council <br /> 21 and provide their feedback to the Commission for additional comment. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Chair Stromgren suggested including the changes in a City newsletter to inform Community of <br /> 24 these changes. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 8.3. Snyder's Drug <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Dave Leonard, Owner, Snyder's Drug stated that their lease is up and they need to find a place to <br /> 29 locate their business. He stated that St. Anthony Marketplace has an empty space where they <br /> 30 would be able to include a drive-through window for the pharmacy. He stated that they would <br /> 31 not have to create any end cuts or change the widths adding that it would allow them to remain <br /> 32 within one block of where they are currently located. He stated that this location would meet all <br /> 33 of their needs and requirements adding that the interior of the current location is not in good <br /> 34 shape, which is another reason why they would like to relocate. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Chair Stromgren clarified that they would not have a canopy. Mr. Leonard clarified that they <br /> 37 would only need a protective canopy over the window because it comes in on the right side of the <br /> 38 building. He stated that it would also include a small speaker system similar to what is used at a <br /> 39 bank drive-up. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Chair Stromgren asked Mr. Leonard if he had any idea as to the number of transactions they <br /> 42 would process within an hour. Mr. Leonard explained that this area could accommodate two to <br /> 43 three vehicles without impacting the flow of traffic. He stated that they would probably handle <br /> 44 approximately six transactions per hour noting that this figure is probably a bit high. <br /> 45 <br />
