Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 14, 1996 Bruce Thompson presented the Library background on compatibility with the coffee shop. He stated that Dunn Brothers will be a unique expansion providing new service to residents of Roseville. He noted that the Library design included a drive-through which is currently not being used by the Library. Chairman Wietecki asked what would be the busiest day. Marion Roos stated that on an hour per hour basis, Sunday is the busiest day in the Library. Chairman Wietecki asked for clarification on the air conditioner noise and the closeness to the property. Bruce Thompson provided historical background regarding the HV AC and the remedial actions taken. Roos noted that there have been no complaints regarding the noise in this past year. Member Harms asked if the hours needed to be expanded for the Library services, could the new revenue generated by the coffee shop be used to pay for those extended hours. Roos responded that 40% of the income from the coffee shop could be allocated for extended hours. Ed Dunn, from Dunn Brothers Coffee, described the coffee shop business. Chairman Wietecki asked for the traffic count between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Dunn responded it would be between 100 and 200 customers, with a peak of 40 customers per hour.
