Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes March 21, 2023 Page 3 1 A drawing indicating the proposed tenant space and application submitted were included for 2 Planning Commission consideration. 3 4 Commissioner Hendrickson arrived at the meeting at 7:14 p.m. 5 6 Chair Socha asked if the license would limit the hours the facility could be open. Mr. 7 Grittman stated it is up to the City if they want to limit hours for the facility. She does not 8 want it to become an overnight facility. The application specifies the hours would be 8am – 9 4pm. 10 11 Commissioner Kuykendall referred to the loading and unloading of attendees and asked 12 whether that would be in the front or the back of the facility. The site is adjacent to the library. 13 He recalls there are three parking stalls in front of the building. That volume of cars coming to 14 that location may present a problem as the parking is usually full. He asked if the individual 15 parking spots need to be designated to the businesses in the shopping center. Mr. Grittman 16 stated there is a generalized parking requirement and where these kind of uses have parking 17 issues the landlord and the tenant work that out to make sure a particular use doesn’t chase out 18 the other tenants. Commissioner Kuykendall feels the traffic flow may be an issue. Mr. 19 Grittman noted the van will load and unload in the rear of the building through an access door. 20 21 Commissioner Morita asked there is any concern on facilities such as bathrooms for 60 people 22 as that facility was not built for that volume of people. Mr. Grittman stated those kind of 23 services actually are all within the State licensing review and that is the responsibility of the 24 State Licensing Board. 25 26 Chair Socha asked if there would be any concerns about sewer capacity. Mr. Grittman stated 27 they would not expect there to be a difference but that is one of the things the building official 28 and other code officials would review. 29 30 Commissioner Erickson stated he shares the concerns about the parking but it makes sense the 31 tenants and landlord would work that out together. He stated his other concern is the health 32 department with the facility providing two meals a day to the clients and how that was going 33 to work and how food deliveries would be handled. Commissioner Erickson also expressed a 34 safety concern as there doesn’t appear to be any dedicated outdoor space. He asked what if the 35 clients wanted to go outside or eat lunch outside on a nice day. Mr. Grittman stated from his 36 review of the DHS rules there is not a requirement for an outdoor space. Mr. Grittman stated 37 either a commercial kitchen would be needed or the meals would need to be catered in. DHS 38 Department of Health would regulate that. 39 40 Commissioner Morita stated he has seen a couple of Adult Day Care Centers in the Skyway 41 System downtown with no outdoor space. 42 43 Chair Socha noted the sidewalks are good at the shopping center. She asked if anyone else has 44 any concerns about the operating hours. There were no concerns mentioned. 45
