City Planner Paschke reviewed the conditional use permit for this request to allow reuse of an existing drive-thru window by Sky Johnson, lessee of the structure located at 1724 Lexington Avenue adjacent to the Dairy Queen building and owned by Lexington Plaza LLC from Wayzata, MN and part of the 6.5 acre retail strip development known as Lexington Plaza Shopping Center. The proposed use of the site would be for a coffee shop, with drive-thru service window. Mr. Paschke noted that the existing service window was a per-existing use/improvement that had not been used in many years; and the history of the structure was unclear, but was believed to have been used in the past as a bank and one-hour photo processing facility. Mr. Paschke advised that the Development Review Committee (DRC) had reviewed the proposed plan and concluded that, although there was potential for a vehicle conflict to occur by blocking parking spaces and/or encroachment into the southbound interior drive lane, this coffee shop/café would produce significantly less vehicle traffic than a Starbucks, Caribou or Dunn Brothers facility. City Engineer Deb Bloom was present and opined that potential queuing issues during peak business hours and pedestrian safety concerns were determined to be self-mitigating; endorsing support for the conditional use. The applicant, Mr. Sky Johnson, was present and supported the staff report, making himself available for Commission questions or comments. coffee business in that facility. 4 of 122/6/2007 11.11
