Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 13, 2018 Page 11 Mayor Roe agreed and thought if the area was smaller, then the Department could designate a point of contact in the neighborhood who could get the word out to others. b. Request by Vanbarton Group and Chick-fil-A to consider a condition modi- fication to Resolution #11511 (PF18-003) City Planner Paschke briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and re- lated attachments dated August 13, 2018. Ms. Roselyn Morrison, Asset Manager with the Vanbarton Group, stated they have not been able to execute an agreement because they have leases that explicit- ly prohibit material, permanent, and negative alterations to the common area. She has gone over all the major leases with their attorney and tried to find a way around it but unfortunately, they believe there isn't one. Ms. Morrison stated they did not believe this is necessary and from what she understands, is contrary to zoning. Further, Chick-fil-A has stated they do not need or want allocated or ex- clusive parking. She stated Mr. Jeff Agnes, AR Architects, has gone over this as well and does not feel there is a necessity for it. She wondered if there was any specific need looked at for this requirement that they could wrest in another way. Councilmember Willmus asked whether the concern on the part of the existing tenants is that their clientele might not have a place to park if there are designated spots for Chick-fil-A. Ms. Morrison stated it is not a concern but what is in the lease currently. They had to go to 8 or 9 of the major tenants to request waivers to build an outlot there. When they negotiated those waivers, which took almost four years, they believed what they had put in front of the tenants on the allocation of this specific area for Chick-fil-A, would be adequate. Neither Chick-fil-A nor the tenants have wanted exclusive parking. Councilmember Willmus stated from his perspective, the concern comes with be- ing familiar with the mall, traffic patterns, use patterns, along with busy and non- busy times of the year. Typically, if they have a stand-alone restaurant, they would have a ratio of so many parking stalls per number of seats. Those are all factors that enter into this for him. He stated this is a concern he has. Ms. Morrison believed there was adequate parking, not only in the front lot but in the entire center. Councilmember Laliberte stated one of the actions recommended is item B, which would be to remove the "exclusive use" language. She asked whether that mate- rially changed anything.
