Planning Commission Page 5 <br /> March 22,2022 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. Carlton indicated he had not received any comment or concerns from the <br /> Perpetual Health Alliance building. <br /> Commissioner Johnson asked about staff concerns. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated staff was concerned with internal circulations and exiting, as well <br /> as snow load and parking. He stated the conversations were with traffic and ensuring <br /> having as many cars stacking internally instead of on Lowell. <br /> Commissioner Keisling felt there would be congestion issues with ingress and egress <br /> traffic flow. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated they reviewed the flow of traffic entering and exiting the site and <br /> discussed if there be a significant impact on the safety of the si e. In their review, <br /> they did not see it,but it is a valid point to bring up. <br /> Commissioner Mauren asked if the plans are corporate template. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated he was not sure,but they did try and maximize the number of cars <br /> allowed in the drive through without impacting parking. <br /> Commissioner Johnson asked how mangy cars they£elt,,they could stack in the drive <br /> through. <br /> Mr. Carlton indicate ey felt they..coul `get up to"te`ti''cars in the drive through. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he was comfortable with the site layout as he does not <br /> really see that many cars in other drive throughs. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg stated he sees a very awkward situation and sees a congestion <br /> problem with travelers getting on and off Highway 10 at Lowell. He stated he <br /> understands you cannot tell a business to not come into but felt the design does not <br /> seem to fit but loves the idea. He also disagreed with employees parking on the street <br /> as he felt it would cause visibility concerns. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he felt anything that goes in this spot would have <br /> challenges and felt they were missing out on Highway 10 frontage. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito noted a drive through would create additional traffic in the area. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg stated he would be curious at the number of vehicles <br /> currently traveling through the area. He did not feel that street was meant to have <br /> that much traffic. He also stated there is already concerns with perceived problems of <br /> employee parking downtown. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated a possible solution would be to have an independent traffic <br /> analysis completed to either be reviewed by the Planning Commission or presented <br /> to the City Council. <br /> P <br /> }� <br /> � agwEeEo er <br /> A AfURE <br />
