pretty much every combination has being considered. So, that's my overriding concern. I don't <br /> know how your proposed tenant would react, but you might want to consider not doing the <br /> drive-thru and having a better project as a result. I do agree with staff in that I do tend to prefer <br /> a building closer to the street, but like David, I'm not hard and fast on that if it's an appropriate <br /> use. <br /> Commissioner Balch: I want to pick up on that because in terms of the site layout, you know, if <br /> I could comment, I would actually be supportive of that idea with the building, and I'm sure staff <br /> could advocate against me right now, but I'd be generally supportive of the idea of not having a <br /> building on the street at this location if it made the building and entire site layout work a little bit <br /> better. And. I don't know if an L where you can drive in front along the parallel to Owens is the <br /> answer. I'm not trying to design from the dais, but the concept of building on the street and <br /> how that would work, I'd be open to that idea. <br /> Commissioner Brown: One comment is three drive-thru's in very popular businesses; In-N-Out, <br /> Chick-Fil-A and I don't want to presuppose what this one is although I can guess, in such close <br /> proximity competing with each other is fraught with problems, so given that the other two are <br /> approved and we can't change that, but approving a third in this small proximity is going to be <br /> pretty trafficked complex. <br /> Chair Ritter: I concur with pretty much everybody here. I think taking, as Commissioner <br /> O'Connor said, a two-lane queue and making A-2 smaller—I still think that could be an option. <br /> I know Starbucks has done that. Also moving A-1 and A-2 and B all along the Owens Drive <br /> side and making the parking behind it so that the drive-thru could be going along Owens Drive <br /> may be an option but I'm not going to design from up here but I'd say you've got to at least <br /> have 12 or 13 spots in there just because all of the traffic from the current drive-thru's in that <br /> area. <br /> B. Does the Planning Commission support the proposed building architecture, exterior <br /> finishes, and color palette including staff's recommendation on the north elevation on <br /> Building A? <br /> Commissioner Brown: Yes. <br /> Commissioner Balch: Yes, except for the name "Owens Court." And if it is that, it won't get my <br /> vote. I'll just say it straight—I don't want it called Owens Court. The court is misleading as to <br /> the location on the street. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: Yes. <br /> Commissioner Allen: Yes with two additional minor changes. One is on Building B. I don't know <br /> if there's a photo we can put up of Building B but there was a large, dark wall in the middle of <br /> Building B that looked a little bit wide in my opinion. Others can vet on that. Yes. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: Oh the west elevation. <br /> Commissioner Allen: So that just felt pretty blocky and I would make the same request of <br /> softening that up. And the second is color of the parapet. I think we'll want to be very careful <br /> about the color. Some of the visuals mostly in the staff report show the lighter more yellow <br /> color. In contrast, this diagram showed more of a grey and darker color. I think the lighter <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 15 of 20 <br />e okay with no B. I just want to say as a principle because of <br /> the need to easily access the parking I don't actually have a problem with the B lot being in the <br /> front. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Put simply it seems like if the desire to have the drive-thru doesn't fit in <br /> a design if after 20 iterations that it isn't a perfect for the property. I don't know how else to put <br /> it, whether its 11 or 12 and I'm not even trying to design it because I'm sure after 20 iterations <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 14 of 20 <br />ally <br /> can't take another 20 feet for that 12th car out of the depth of Building B because then we're <br /> looking at a building's that probably 20 feet deep or we have to severely carve into the corner <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 9 of 20 <br />ructural control such as an oil/water separator or sand filter.
