Regular City Couucil Meeting Minutes of Monday, February 26, 2007 Page 9 Motion failed. Roll Call [Original Motion] Ayes: Kough; Ihlan; Roe; Pust and Klausing. Nays: None. 9. Consider Adoption of a Resolution approving the Request of Kimco Re- alty and Starbucks Coffee for a Conditional Use Permit for a Stand- Alone Fast Food Drive-thru and Restaurant, 1800 Highway 36 (PF07- 009) Community Development Director John Stark presented and reviewed the request of Kimco Realty for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a stand-alone Starbucks Coffee (referred to as a Class II Fast Food Restaurant in SI005.015) with a single-lane drive thru. Mr. Stark noted that the structure would be constructed on the west side of the former Frank's Nursery and Crafts building adjacent to Fairview Avenue. Mr. Stark noted that the only reason the issue was before the Council was for a CUP to accommodate the drive-thru. Staff recommended approval of the CUP; along with the PC on a 6/0 vote, based on comments in Section 5, findings of Section 6 and the eight revised conditions in Section 7 of the project report dated February 26, 2007. Discussion included rationale for placement of the trash enclosure; and ana- lysis of traffic flow based on the adjacent child care facility. Mr. Stark advised that, since the Public Hearing held at the Planning Com- mission level, staff had received a letter of opposition dated February 19, 2007, from several adjacent neighbors. Substantial discussion ensued regarding traffic control on Fairview; truck and other vehicular traffic and it's maneuvering on site as well as ingress and egress points and shared roadways. Mayor Klausing clarified that the CUP application was for Starbucks' use of a drive-thru only; not whether or not overall land use was opposed.
