requirement is 37 cars which is what we have. So if we lose those parking spaces and <br />carry that drive out and extend the building out, we also have to shorten.... what we're <br />going to have to do is, in order for the traffic flow westward to wrap around the end of <br />Building B, we're going to have to modify Building B at the same time. <br />Commissioner Balch: Can I follow up on your question. Maybe I could ask it another <br />way. I think Commissioner Nagler's asking, and maybe to educate me —I don't know, <br />you could enter one side of your lot and exit out the other side, no problem. So if you <br />just have a long, straight queue through the whole east/west you could do that, right? I <br />mean, there's no restriction saying... you own that land on the west side, right? <br />Grant: Well, there is an access easement. <br />Commissioner Balch: So I'm going to ask another question or modification. Why isn't an <br />L building not coming to fruition? Why is B not making an L with A and parking on both <br />sides? <br />Grant: We didn't do an L building because we didn't want to add another entry onto <br />Owens Drive because we wouldn't do a dead -end parking plan. We wouldn't do that. <br />Commissioner Brown: Why? <br />Grant: It's just terrible practice to bring retail cars into a dead end parking area. We just <br />wouldn't do it. <br />Commissioner Balch: So the way you have this configured, as cars come out of the <br />drive -thru they can make a right turn or a left continuing out. <br />Commissioner Nagler:... As well as cars from the parking lot exiting out to Larkspur <br />Drive that way. <br />Grant: Yes, there is two -way traffic through there and anyone exiting the queueing area <br />is entering that road at a 90 degree angle so they could go right or they could go left. I <br />mean I understand. When you look at the plan and you see the curvature of the road <br />around the end of Starbucks it feels like its drawing the cars out of the queueing back <br />through the site, but in reality, it's really entering that drive at the tangent point and that <br />car can go right or left. <br />Commissioner Nagler: And just to be clear, my question specifically is an attempt to <br />length the queue. That's what it was. <br />Grant: I understand. <br />Commissioner Nagler: And that you could potentially pick up additional parking spaces <br />in the main parking lot if you didn't have that drive. <br />Grant: Well, no, actually you can't. I mean it sounds like you could if we didn't have <br />Building B in there, but where are those additional cars? <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 28, 2016 Page 22 of 32 <br />
