Mr. Abney reviewed the site plan, landscaping plan, and proposed sign 18 and sign placement plan for the IHOP restaurant site. He explained that the drive through 19 window is actually referred to as a coffee window due to the limited menu that will be available. 20 21 Ms. Jan Fillmore, 2550 38th Avenue NE, addressed the Planning Commission and stated many of 22 the residents of Silver Lake Village Condos look forward to the restaurant. There are a number 23 of restaurants on 391h Avenue in St. Anthony Village where they can go for lunch and dinner, but 24 they have been waiting for some time for a place for breakfast. 25 26 Chair Jensen commented that the addition and location of the drive-through coffee window and 27 utilization of the curb cut is a bit awkward. He inquired whether the on-site engineer visit 28 conducted today wielded any concerns in this area and indicated that he has provided the 29 applicant with sketches for consideration. He suggested the possibility of removing two of the 30 parking stalls currently located close to the entrance in order to allow for vehicles to stack near 31 the front door, as well as the possibility of relocating the coffee window behind the office which 32 would allow for the reorganization of the handicap parking location. Mr. Abney replied that 33 removing parking stalls had not been considered,but this would not be an issue if it were to be a 34 request of the Planning Commission. 35 36 There was discussion on including landscaping in the parking lot, and that the overall PUD for 37 this area has included landscaping islands at the end of the parking rows. 38 39 Chair Jensen requested the applicant to consider the potential traffic concerns resulting from the 40 coffee window exit on the northwest side of the building. 41 42 Chair Jensen closed the public hearing for agenda items 7.1 and 7.2 at 7:28 p.m. 43 44 Chair Jensen verified that the applicant is in agreement with the four conditions for agenda item 45 7.1 included in the staff report. 46
