If <br />the applicant decides to move the concept forward a Planned Unit Development Amendment <br />would be required. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The property is located at 3673 Lexington Avenue North within the Shannon Square Shoppes. <br />The site is positioned north of the railroad tracks owned by Canadian Pacific, south of Cub <br />Foods, east of the Transwestern property occupied by Taylor Corporation, and west of Lexington <br />Avenue North. Other tenants within the retail center include Subway, H&R Block, Great Clips, <br />and UPS. <br /> <br />Caribou Coffee Company is proposing to create a drive-thru along the eastern side of their <br />building which fronts Lexington Avenue North. The purpose of the drive-thru addition is to <br />improve the overall customer experience, accommodate different types of customers, and stay <br />competitive within the market. This addition would allow customers to come and go more <br />quickly from the site without having to always enter the store to make a purchase. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 1B <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
