-� � Further discussion included enforcement of camera installation to sufficient resolution to meet the Police Department condition; with staff asked to clarify, prior to the Ciry Council meeting when this case will be heard, how compliance would be determined. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon suggested that the applicant(s) and the Police Department coordinate camera locations and their resolution prior to the City Council meeting. Commissioners concurred, noting the good working relationship to-date between Pawn America and the Police Department; and that the Police Department could ensure compliance with their intended condition. Additional discussion included the applicant's intent for the new space for additional retail bin-type items (i.e., DVD's, VHS tapes, and jewelry cases); Pawn America's two (2) locations elsewhere with drive-thru options, but not proposed for this facility due to site and traffic flow constraints; separate application required for expansion of the CUP to include a drive-thru use, with staff review of any such proposal determining whether it would be an administrative or public hearing approval process; and the applicant's intent to improve the overall interior condition of the shop through this expansion, proposed for completion in phases to allow the business to remain in operation during renovation. Mr. Goff noted the length of time this lease extension had been in negotiation states; and concurred that the interior seriously needed an upgrade; and that it was intended that this store be similar when completed to resemble their newer store prototypes. Public Comment No one appeared to speak for or against. Vice Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing at this time. Commissioners Wozniak and Gottfried expressed their preference that the condition proposed by the Police Department be clarified for more specifics for the additional video equipment meeting the needs of the Police Department; and that an additional condition be included that any request for drive-thru at this location would require a CUP amendment. Commissioner Gisselquist suggested that the Commission defer specifics of the video condition to the Police Department to provide more detail as the application moves forward to the City Council; rather than the vague wording of the condition at this time. Mr. Paschke indicated that the general language of the condition was based on changes in technology and research being performed by the Police Department in what would be a reasonable condition for the applicant in meeting the needs of the Police Department. Vice Chair Boerigter suggested that the condition clearly state that any video surveillance equipment be satisfactory to the Police Department to identify a suspect vehicle.
