City Council Regular Meeting — 07/24/06 DRAFT Minutes - Page 17 Roll C all Ayes: Maschka; Pust; Ihlan and Klausing. Nays: None. 10. Consider a Request by Sky Johnson (Beatnik's Coffee) for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the Use of an Existing Drive- Thru Window at 1724 Lexington Avenue (PF 3772) City Planner Paschke reviewed the request of Mr. Sky Johnson, Beatnik's Coffee, for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow use of an existing drive-thru window, 1724 Lexington Avenue. Mr. Paschke advised that staff and the Planning Commission had reviewed the compatibility of the permit with adjoining properties, impacts on traffic, public facilities, and property values; resulting in unanimous Planning Commission recommendation, as well as staff recommendation for approval, as conditioned. Discussion included movement around the building; traffic flow on site and within the drive lanes; access to Dionne; design of the pre-existing site; location of the trash enclosure; shared parking and timing for business peak traffic; and potential changes in traffic patterns on Lexington or Dionne. City Engineer Deb Bloom addressed Council comments and concerns, and reviewed her on-site observations and walk through of the site with business owners and opined that the nature of the proposed business prior to 9:00 a.m. and later opening time for the majority of adjacent businesses would support traffic flow on the site. Ms. Bloom noted that the recommended approval provided a condition for installation of directional signs to effectively direct vehicles on the site; and striping on the lot and at the drive-thru window area as required by the City Engineer. Ms. Bloom advised that staff would monitor the temporary striping, then later consider permanent striping andlor installation of islands to direct traffic flow, but it was staff consensus that the flow would solve itself on site. Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10419 entitled, "A Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Drive-Thru Window at Beatnik's Coffee, 1724 Resolution 10419 Sky Johnson (Beatnik's Coffee) CUP Use of an Existing Drive-Thru Window at 1724 Lexington Avenue (pF �772}
