Commissioner Allen: It is close. Yes, thank you Beaudin: We were just talking. We're going to give a call to our neighbors over in Dublin and see if they've got something right off the freeway on the other side and just get a sense for a drive -thru Starbucks if they've got that located there. We'll do that research and wherever our applicant can do to help us out. Chair Ritter: And Peet's across the street. Specialty? Is that a drive -thru also? Commissioner Allen: I just have one more question and it had to do with pedestrian or bicycle access, mainly pedestrian from the hotel. How is someone who's coming from the hotel get to the inside of the Starbucks? What I'm really looking at is safety and if they're crossing over the queue lane. Beaudin: We had a similar conversation earlier today about the site plan. There is a path of travel. If you turn to sheet A -0, the site plan, it does a nice job of showing the hardscape and the pedestrian connections across the site. So next to Building B, you'd essentially have to come out of the hotel, and you are in the parking lot for a little bit; kind of the drive aisles and parking area and there is a pathway there that gets you out of drive aisles on the subject site. So that is the connection that exists right now. We were talking about the possibility of getting another connection possibly to the trash enclosure for folks who are coming over from the hotel. There is some question about a possible conflict there with people putting things away —their money and their drink down, as somebody's crossing in front of them. So we'd like to explore that a little bit more with the applicant. And then the bike parking is in the nook that's created in front of the coffee shop. There is one bike rack location proposed for the site right now and it's next to Building A to the right of the entry door for the coffee shop. Commissioner Allen: Okay. It sounds like you're still working a little bit on the street. Beaudin: Yes, you can come right off of Owens next to Building B and you're out of the parking lot and you're out of the landscaped areas. I think that's a nice connection. I think a connection exists next to Building B and there's the possibility for another connection a little more directly from the hotel. Commissioner Allen: Okay, great. That's it for me. Thank you. Commissioner Balch: I'd like to know why it says "Owens Court". Isn't it "Owens Street "? Beaudin: It's Owens Drive, but I think the name of the project might be Owens Court. Commissioner Balch: Okay, I'll just go on record to say that I would not like the name of the project to be "Owens Court" for any type of driving complex. Commissioner Nagler: Maybe this is a question of the applicant, but from traffic impacts, we are obviously focusing on drive -thru or no drive -thru. So just to focus on the impacts, do you agree or feel comfortable with the conclusion of the traffic consultant PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 28, 2016 Page 16 of 32
