Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Planning Commission Meeting, 4-5-89 Page 7 CASE #89-03 (Cont'd) The Planner stated the building addition will not protrude out further than the existing pick-up window; the addition will provide an additional cashier's window and a small office. The addition of the cashier's window presumably will allow 45 more cars per hour to be served than the present one window system; this should mean shorter drive-through lines, reduced emissions from idling cars and faster service. All of these will benefit the citizens of Arden Hills, nearby businesses and travelers on Arden Hills' streets. Bergly recommended approval of the minor site plan revision. Commission questioned if the addition would decrease green space on the site. Steven Halverson, owner of McDonald's, advised there would be no decreased green space on the site. Carlson moved, seconded by Winiecki,that Commission recommend to Council approval of Case #89-03, Minor Site Plan Revision for a Special Use Permit, 1313 West County Road E, McDonald's, for a six-foot by 40-foot addition to provide a cashier's window and office space, based on the following: 1. The modifications will create a healthier, safer and more convenient service for patrons and the general public. 2. The modifications are considered minor and the special use is existing, so treating the application as a site plan revision is appropriate. Motion carried unanimously. (6-0) MISC.
