Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 16, 2005 Page 16 1 Commissioner Young asked Mr. Leonard if he has a copy of the site plan and asked him to 2 review the traffic flow from the site. Mr. Leonard explained that there is a curb cut that currently 3 comes into the center and they reconfigured the green space. He stated that they still have two 4 trees and have included more shrubs along the building adding that with the reconfiguration they 5 would use the same driveway to come in and exit. 6 7 Commissioner Young asked if it would be feasible for a car, entering in from Kenzie Terrace, to 8 turn directly into the drive-through lane without swerving into the flow of traffic. She stated that 9 she could see their intent adding that she also realizes that people would try to cut the corner in 10 order to get into the drive-through lane. Mr. Leonard stated that cars would probably not be able 11 to turn directly into the drive-through lane and reviewed the flow with the Commission. 12 13 Chair Stromgren suggested including an exit only sign at the rear that would restrict traffic. 14 15 Commissioner Jensen asked if the original approval of the plan required that this be a two-lane 16 for traffic flow. 17 18 The developer indicated that he has been talking with Snyder's about going into this area noting 19 that they did make them aware that they have been down this road before. He explained that this 20 would be for pharmacy use only and they are willing to have this use tied to the drive-through. 21 He acknowledged that there could be conflicts adding that they would be willing to turn this 22 section into a one-way passage on this side. He stated that if it becomes an issue it could be 23 addressed by making it a one-way. He stated that Snyder's has done a good job with the 24 landscaping noting that the operation would not be a 24-hour service. He stated that the 25 positioning of the driveway movement would prohibit the headlights from shining into the 26 neighborhoods. He stated that Snyder's is aware of the previous applications and the end results. 27 28 Commissioner Jensen noted that the original proposal for the center included a variance for the 29 parking that allowed 31 parking stalls and this concept sketch takes five spaces and gives back 30 two and would not need a variance to address the other three. He suggested that if they make it a 31 one-way they could pick up the five parking stalls. 32 33 The developer referenced the employee parking area noting that they could get the other three. 34 He stated that they would not have to go through the variance process to gain back the three stalls 35 and reviewed the parking areas with the Commission. 36 37 IX.
