Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 25, 2016 Page 35 igation for impacts related to noise from the speaker box and from headlights in the parking lot. Mr. Paschke noted conditions will be predicated accordingly as site improvements are finalized. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Paschke reviewed conditions for revised lanes on site curving to the back of the site to avoid cars stacking on County Road B-2, especially now with the tenant known; how many seats inside, and anticipated higher impact with this use and the site as modified.

Mr. Paschke clarified that the sight line would be taken into consideration, and that neither landscaping nor any fencing was intended to the tip of the island. Since it was intended as decorative and noise blocking, Mr. Paschke noted that additional landscaping along the parameter was also required to address head-
