Matt Samitore presented the Planning Department Staff report. He explained that the current Human Bean business on North 1 ~` Street is doing very well and the applicant would like to build a second store at the newly remodeled Cash Connection site at 536 East Pine Street. Most of the TOD standards have already been met due to the Cash Connection remodel. Drive-Through businesses are a permitted use in the TOD-EC zone and the building design meets the TOD design standards. The current sign pole at the corner will also be used for the Human Bean sign which cannot be internally illuminated. Employee and customer parking requirements have been met and additional parking spaces can be found on the street and at an office building parking lot behind the current Cash Connection building. The Public Works staff report requires that parking bumpers be placed on the parking spaces to the west of the Drive Through building and that an alley apron to South 6`h Street be constructed to city standards. Traffic direction of the alley will be worked out with the owner at a later date. Tom Casey, the applicant, stated that because of the size of the building some of the parking spaces behind the cash connection are not needed. Commissioner Fish said that it would be more convenient to access those parking spaces from the east instead of the west. Mr. Samitore recommended that the bumpers be used and that access to the parking spaces be from the west. Commissioner Perry suggested that the two south parking spaces on the east side of the Cash Connection building be removed to allow better access for the drive tlrrough coffee business.

Lots 67 & 66 will be a pocket park and a pedestrian path will be built from west to east that leads to the main park area. The park land will be gifted to the city by the developer.
