� indicates that certain radii used in the parking lot are not large enough to support large ? trucks (semi-trailers). Further, internal traffic will move efficiently throughout the site � once all traffic related improvements are completed. It should be noted that this area, =� which encompasses six properties, was originally approved with crosslshared access, � allowing vehicles the ability to use any one of seven access points from the periphery �� road system to access a particular property. The original Franks site did not connect to - the former Labe11's site due to a falling out with the property owner. This connection has � been approved between Kimco Realty and Sports Authority (present owner of former �� Labell's site). ; i, �� {ti.•� Public Facilities Impact: The proposed drive�tl�ru window will not impact the City park 3= system and will not impact the City sanitary sewer, water, or storm water systems. The 1: proposed site development (bank wldrive thru, general retail and ca�'e w/drive thru) will i.G increase the number of vehicles that have traditionallyaccessed the former Franks i� Nursery & Crafts site. With proper improvements (to be constructed 2007) the level of i f, service at the intersection of T'airvie�v Avenue and Gluek Lane (frontag� road) will not be �' compromised, or will capacity of adjacent public streets. �; i�� 5. � Compatibility of Site: A drive-thru window within the B-2 zoning district is a ?�; compatible use and in the case of the subject site, the proposed Starbucks single-lane '_ I c�rive-thn.� window is compatible with the current and anticipated improvements. Further, ?� Staff and the applicant have worked on a site design that addresses internal vehicle -�? circulation and is sensitive to the residential property across Fairview Avenue by � i including landscaping along the west property line to screen vehicle headlights. The most .�{ recent site design has sezni trucks traveling from Herschel Street to the Golfsmith loading ?�� dock then out to Fairvie� Avenue. This route (supported by staf� has been in place since �, these properties were developed in the late 1970's and early 1980's. �� i�� . Er Market Value Impact: The City Planner has concluded that a drive-thru window at the �c� proposed Starbucks will neither pose a negative impact on the inar�Cet value of any ; i adjacent property nor to the residential properties that lie across Fairview Avenue. „ a_ �� _- Wealth, Safety, General Welfare Impact: The City Planner is unaware of any health t� impacts particular to this proposed drive-through. �� ;�� A letter from some of the residents in the general area asserted that there may be some �- health impacts associated with exhaust emissions in this drive-thru lane. Although there �� is research of varying results on the emissions impacts of drive-thm facilitics in general, � ra the City Council has not tal{en a policy position on such emissions or any potential �� impacts. A finding that this particular c�rive-fihru facility has such impacts, therefore, �� would be inconsistent with past considerations of Conditional Use Permits for such uses. �� Furthermore, the emissions associated with the proposed drive-thru window appear to be -_ substantially less than those of existing transportation infrastructure, which is located in . closer proximity to residential properties (see 11.J). The City Planner, therefore, .: � concludes that there is no health impact particular to this request. PF07-409_RCA 032607 Page 6 of 9
