Mr. 727 Hunt admitted that they were not yet that far into the process; but wanted to make the site 728 look nice; and opined that the building itself was nice, and not cheap looking. 729 Member Boguszewski, noting that this site was directly across from a park, questioned if 730 the applicant was intending to serve walk-up customers as well as vehicular customers. 731 Mr. Harvieux responded that they would love that opportunity, but questioned staff if that 732 would be allowable. 733 Mr. Paschke responded that, there would be nothing precluding the applicant from doing 734 so, and as part of the formal site plan review, it would require some on-site parking 735 spaces for customers. Mr. Paschke noted that the plan review would look at internal 736 traffic on the site; and that this INTERIM USE currently stipulated parking as now 737 provided was restricted to employees only in the existing paved areas.
