Nafstad stated they would need to look at a ten or fifteen year replacement plan for fleet replacement andadditional capital needs. Sorensen stated that an organized practice burn went well for the Fire Department. Vetsch inquired if the Joint Fire Board has discussed adopting the 1306 Fire Code. Sorensen replied that it has been brought up a number of times to the Joint Fire Board. Vetsch stated it would be easier to require sprinklers at the time of building rather than retrofitting a building or they could at least require installation of the piping. Nafstad stated that the industrial area does not have and may not intend to have water service. Vetsch asked if the Fire Code could be applied to specific areas within the service district and Couri replied it would be a determination of the state building official. Hendrickson inquired why there would be such a push to adopt the 1306 Fire Code for all service areas. Couri replied that it is a safety concern for the firefighters and a benefit to property owners as there would be less damage to the building during a fire.Vetsch asked the Council representatives on the Joint Fire Board to continue the discussion. City Council Meeting MinutesPage 2 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2013 Parks Committee Sorensen reported two “Little Libraries” were donated by the STMA Rotary. One is th located off of 57Street NE at the resting area by the Fire Hall. The other is possibly planned for Villas Park along with a bench that was also donated by Rotary. Guimont stated they would most likely take down the “Little Libraries” in the winter time. 2).Memorial Park Sorensen reported the turnout for the Memorial Park dedication was great. There were many from Pelican Rapids in attendance as well as members of the Fire Department. Representative Fitzsimmons was also present at the dedication. Sorensen thanked the Public Works Department for their work on the park, the garden and the installation of the sign. 3).Neighbor’s Eatery& Saloon Joe Holtz stated that he wanted the City to know how the underage liquor violation occurred and how they try to run the business. He explained the situation and stated they are very proactive in their liquor law training. The establishment pays for staff’s training at Wright County, they use card readers,and have many signs in place showing the legal age to consume alcohol. He stated the individual was not technically an employee and had not punched in yet when the violation occurred. He asked Council to waive the fine for the violation. He stated the underage liquor violation is not how they want the restaurant to be reflected and stated they have worked hard to have above board practices. Couri stated that since the employee was in the establishment, the employee in essence would be considered under the direction of the management. However, he stated the language in the liquor violation resolution allows Council flexibility to be able to waive fines if they choose to do so. Nafstad stated that in past practice a fine was waived if the establishment purchased a card reader for driver’slicenses to verify age and eligibility. Holtz stated they use one for liquor sales and one for pull tabs, but the one for liquor was recently broken. However, he wanted to let Council know they have been using the other one and keeping with the practice. Vetsch suggested the money for the fine could be used to purchase a new card reader. Wagner stated he was not opposed to that idea. He stated that he doesn’t want to set a precedent of waiving fines, but that if they do, there are City requirements that must be met. Couri stated that if the Council wished to pursue this option, they should stipulate that an invoice and a receipt showing payment for the device be given to the City. Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Hendrickson, to waive the $500.00 fine upon receipt of proof of card reader purchase. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. City Council Meeting MinutesPage 3 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2013 4).Oakside Park Vandalism Sorensen reported the City received a complaint about vandalism to the park’s equipment. Guimont replied they have gone out and removed the foul language and picked up cigarette butts. There are burn holes in the slides and they are expensive to replace. B.Finance 1).Building Interconnection Project/Upgrade Lannes reported that they have met the contractor for the installation of the inground fiber lines and hope to begin that phase of the project next week. Wagner stated that these next two phases are approximately $112,000 of the approximated $200,000 project and he asked about the amount for the fiber quote. Lannes stated they had estimated Phase I to be approximately $80,000, but the low quote appears to be coming inat the mid to high $50,000 range. Lannes suggested they will also want to allow room for other minor costs that may arise during the project. Wagner wanted to verify that any funds not used would remain in reserves for the building and Lannes replied they would. Sorensen inquired about the time frame for the project. Lannes reported they would like to get the fiber lines installed yet this fall and finish with the project by the first of the year. 2).Accounts Receivable Report Lannes indicated the outstanding invoices and statedassessments will go out in November. rd 3).3QuarterReport Lannes reported that revenues should be at 60% and are currently at 54.1%. Expenditures should be 75% and are currently at 57.4%. She stated there has been an increase in building and permit revenue and the City is in good condition. C.City Clerk 1).152 Noise Complaint Clerk Olson stated they City received at a total of three complaints regarding noise during the 152 Club’s September 28, 2013 Oktoberfest event. Vetsch stated he heard complaints from the neighborhood surrounding the establishment that the music was loud enough to shake walls inside homes. Nafstad stated the owner was not aware of the complaints and she estimated they had 800-850 people attend throughout the event. Nafstadstated the complaints indicated it wasn’t the band that was too loud, but the music CD that was played in between sets. Vetsch stated that he would prefer to see more restricted hours; even though it was on a weekend, many are trying to go to bed around 10 p.m. Hendrickson stated that the event is only once a year and good for the business. Sorensen cautioned that additional restrictions would or could apply to Friendly City Days. Brixius stated residents always have the option to call the Wright County Sheriff’s Department and the Sheriff’s Deputy can require the sound to be turned down. He suggested that for City Council Meeting MinutesPage 4 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2013 future major musical performances the Sheriff’s Deputies be notified and paid to be in the area. D.Public Works and Engineering –None E.Planning 1).Planning Update Brixius reported a request will be going to the Planning Commission from John Darkenwald to rezone 88 acres from I-1 to B2-A. No plans have been submitted, but they need to show for their financing that the City is supportive of their proposal and the City can do that by allowing the rezoning to occur. Brixius stated there is a request for an oversize accessory structure off of Large Avenue NE. Vetsch had concerns that a business could be run of the building. Brixius replied the Conditional Use Permit required for the building would expressly prohibit any home occupation in the building or property. Brixius reported there is a request to reopen the former Sunoco site and to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through service lane. He said there are concerns with the flow of the drive-through service lane. On the positive side, they would be getting a tenant in a currently vacant space. However, it is up to the applicant to prove the workability of the site. F.Building –None G.Legal 1).City Attorney Report Couri reported that he heard back from Charter Communications that Federal rules allow Charter to implement a user fee that would be passed onto the customers if $10,000 in funds were given to the City for recording equipment. He stated that he could work with another firm who specializes in this area to get their determination of the regulations and inquired if the Council would like him to pursue the issue. He stated the cost would be a couple hundred dollars; one advantage is the firm may have worked with another city that has dealt with this issue. Council discussed several ways other cities record their meetings. Wagner was supportive of spending up to $200 on the firm if it means they could end with funds for the camera. Council directed Couri to engage the other firm. Sorensen stated the City collects an annual franchise fee that goes into the general fund and he felt it should go back to the public and should be looked at the next time the franchise renewal is up. Vetsch stated that it does benefit the taxpayers as it offsets the levy needed each year. H.Administration 1).RiverRider Transportation Agreement City Council Meeting MinutesPage 5 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2013 Nafstad reported the agreement is between Albertville, Hanover, Otsego, and St. Michael for bus transportation between the cities. He stated that it would be ten hours of service per week and the agreement is for a three year period. The combined cities are responsible for 15% of the cost. If there are no rides, the cost to Albertville would be $1,035; however, the cost is reduced by every paid fare and the cost could be zero if they reach 3,300 rides. He anticipates it will mostly be utilized by seniors and it was in fact advocated for by the seniors. Olson felt this is a good thing for the community and Nafstad stated this is the most cost effective way to provide transportation to the community. Hendrickson asked staff to make sure it is promoted in City resources. Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Sorensen, to approve the RiverRider Agreement for shared public transportation services between the Cities of Albertville, Hanover, Otsego, and St. Michael, subject to no material changes being made by one of the other parties. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2).City Administrator’s Update Nafstad reported Guardian Angels has asked for a small change to the site plans that Council had previously approved. The change would be to remove a small pond on the east of Kassel Avenue NE and they have checked with the MPCA about removing the pond. Couri stated Council would need to make a motion adopting the corrected site plan. Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the Guardian Angels plan set dated October 1, 2013 for the Engel Haus project. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Nafstad reported Wright County is seeking input from cities about its road funding policies. He would like to submit several recommendations to the County. He felt there are some disparities in the current policy where cities over 5,000 population have more costs for road projects even though they contribute more to the tax base. He also felt that traffic signals should be funded by the jurisdiction of each leg of the intersection. Vetsch inquired if the funding policy mentioned bonding for transportation projects and if Council will have time to come up with more ideas. Nafstad replied they could take more comments at the next meeting. Nafstad also felt federal funding dollars could be applied to the road projects first and then move onto the County’s funding plan. Hendrickson stated that any comments the Council had about the funding policy be directed towards Nafstad. 10.ANNOUNCEMENTS and/or UPCOMING MEETINGS October 7 City Council, 7:00 p.m. October 8 Planning Commission, 7:00 p.m. City Council Meeting MinutesPage 6 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2013 October 14 STMA Ice Arena Board, 6:00 p.m. October 21 City Council, 7:00 p.m. October 28 Joint Powers Water Board, 6:30 p.m. November 4 City Council, 7:00 p.m. November 11 Veterans Day, City Offices Closed November 12 STMA Ice Arena Board, 6:00 p.m. Planning Commission, 7:00 p.m. November 18 City Council, 7:00 p.m. November 25 Joint Powers Water Board, 6:30 p.m. Parks Committee, 8:00 p.m. November 28 Thanksgiving Day, City Offices Closed November 29 City Offices Closed Hendrickson stated the groundbreaking ceremony for Guardian Angels will be on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. for any who wish to attend. 11.ADJOURN MEETING Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Olson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch and Wagner.

There are no current development proposals for these parcels; action on this rezoning request is needed in order for financing to be acquired and further planning to proceed. Attached for reference: Exhibit A:Parcel Location Map Exhibit B: Albertville Proposed Land Use Plan Exhibit C:Parcel Survey Exhibit D: Albertville Zoning Map ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Section300.1.F.of the Zoning Ordinancestates that review of a rezoning request shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. 4 Comment:The Albertville 2012 Visioning Studyincludes a Proposed Land Use Plan that identifies theapplicant’sparcels for business park uses. The parcels are adjacent to a large area designated for commercial land uses in the plan. The Proposed Land Use Plan does not envision industrial uses continuing or establishing in this area; industrial land uses are generally guided to the southeastern portion of the city. The study includes a commercial policy statement which reads, “The city will promote commercial development within locations of the City’s commercial areas as guided in the Albertville Proposed Land Use Plan.” (p. 43) The study includes a discussion of commercial uses in the area near the Albertville Outlet Mall (p. 27). Uses permitted in the B2-A district such as hospitality and recreational/entertainmentbusinesses were identified as preferable for the area. The study also indicates that there is sufficient land identified for industrial uses in the southeastern portion of the city(p. 30), so loss of industrial zoning on these parcels is not seen as a concern. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. Comment:The parcels are adjacent to areas currently zoned for commercial uses. Rezoning to B2-A will allow for uses compatible with existing commercial uses and is consistent with the city’s Proposed Land Use Plan. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. Comment:The applicant is not bringing forward applications forsubdivisionor developmentreview. Rezoning the parcels to B2-A will subject the properties to all of the performance standards applicable in that district. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Comment:Rezoning the parcels in question from I-1 Limited Industrial to B2-A Special Business will change the number and type of allowed uses in this area. The B2-A Special Business uses are compatible with adjacent commercial uses and have been identified as preferred usesfor this areain the Proposed Land Use Plan. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. Comment:Public sewer and water and other utilities exist in this area. Extensions of and connections to these utilities will be evaluated when subdivision and developmentproposals are submitted. 5 6. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets serving the property. Comment:It is anticipated that any development of these parcels will require the installation of new roadways. The parcels are located near the I-94 interchange in Albertville and future commercial uses will be able to take advantage of this access. All roadway improvement needs will be evaluated when development proposals are submitted.

BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission met and held a public hearing on October 7, 2013, to consider a Conditional Use Permit application from Red Rooster Properties, Inc. The site in question contains the old Sunoco gas station. Historically, the site accommodated motor fuel sales (both gasoline and diesel), auto repair, a car wash, convenience store, and fast food sales. Each of these uses are allowed in the underlying B-3, Highway Business District. The building recently went through foreclosure and is now under the ownership of Crown Bank. The site is being considered for purchase and reopening. The prospective owner is pursuing a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through service lane to accommodate a new fast food business. If approved, the new owner will reopen the building with fuel sales (gasoline and diesel), auto repair, convenience store, and fast food sales. The existing car wash on the site will be closed. Upon review of the staff report and hearing public testimony, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the following: A.Conditional Use Permit for a drive through service lane subject to conditions outlined in Resolution No. 2013-038 KEY ISSUES: The site presents a challenge for locating a drive-through lane and concerns were raised regarding the potential conflict between pedestrians accessing the building from the parking lot and vehicles queuing in the drive-through lane. The Planning Commission and staff recommended a number of conditions to mitigate those concerns including: Requiring signage at the pedestrian crossing o Pavement treatment (raised/ramped walkway) and striping to emphasize the o pedestrian crossing and ensure that vehicles do not block the crossing while queuing M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2013\102113\102113 Red Rooster CUP RCA doc.docx Meeting Date: October 21, 2013 Mayor and Council Request for Action –Red Rooster, Inc.

If these conditions exist, the City reserves the right to require the applicant to redesign the drive-through service lane or discontinue its use. Additional conditions require the installation of bollards at key locations to protect the site infrastructure and guide traffic circulation; repair or resurfacing of the parking lot; provision of additional parking stalls; submission of a photometric lighting plan; relocation of the trash enclosure; and a prohibition on the reinstatement of the car wash use. A review of the site plan finds that there is sufficient space for stacking of vehicles that will not impede circulation through the site and that the site is located in a commercial district and will have little or no impact on nearby residential properties. The Planning Commission recommends that the Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through service lane at 5952 Large Avenue NE with the conditions outlined in the October 3, 2013 planning report as amended. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission for the Conditional Use Permit application. The Commission recommended that the City Council approve the aforementioned application on a vote of 2-1. The City Council must make the determination that a drive-through service lane is an appropriate use on this site under the conditions described. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any enforcement related to this Conditional Use Permit. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and Council have the authority to issue the conditional use permit, which requires a majority vote of the City Council and becomes effective upon publication.

Historically, the site accommodated motor fuel sales (both gasoline and diesel), auto repair, a car wash, convenience store, and fast food sales. Each of these uses are allowed in the underlying B-3, Highway Business District. The building recently went through foreclosure and is now under the ownership of Crown Bank. The site is being considered for purchase and reopening. The prospective owner is pursuing a conditional use permit for a drive-through service lane to accommodate a new fast food business. If approved, the new owner will reopen the building with the following uses: Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Sales Auto Repair Convenience Store Fast Food Sales The existing car wash will be closed.The site was not originally configured to provide a drive-through service lane; retrofitting the building and site to provide this use raises a number of concerns. The following review focuses on the introduction of the drive- through lane into the site and its impact on other site usesand circulation. 19 Attached for reference: Exhibit A: Site Plan Exhibit B: Proposed Floor Plan for Convenience Store and Fast Food service Exhibit C: Amended Site Diagram Illustrating Staff Recommendations Exhibit D:Narrative and Supplemental Materials ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Conditional Use Permit. Drive-through service lanes that are accessory to a permitted or conditionally permitted business are a conditional use in the B-3, Highway Business District.The following criteria must be satisfied in order for the conditional use permit to be issued (Section 4500.4): A. Not less than one hundred twenty feet (120') of segregated automobile stacking must be provided for the single service lane. Where multiple service lanes areprovided, the minimum automobile stacking may be reduced to sixty feet (60') per lane. Comment:The site plan shows a single service lane with vehicle stackingfor six cars along the south side of the buildingand extending west along a median to meet the 120 foot stacking area requirement. B. The stacking lane and its access must be designed to control traffic in a manner to protect the buildings and will not interfere with on site traffic circulation or access to required parking spaces. Comment: A median will extend westward from thesouthwest corner of thebuilding to define the stacking area. A detail must be provided to show the height of the median, curbing, and stormwater management. A pedestrian crosswalk will be located across the stacking lane to provide access from the parking lot to the building entrance. We are recommending that this crosswalk area be raised and striped to indicate to waiting vehicles that this space should remain open for pedestrian crossingwhile queuing.A detailmust be provided for the crossing. This area must remain ADA accessible. The menu board should be moved forward and be placed so that the car at the menu board is stopped directly in front of the pedestrian crossingwithout blocking access from the store entrance to the parking lot. A railing or wall must be placed between the store entrance and the drive-through service lane to direct pedestrians to the designated crossing and reduce potential vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. The drive-through service lane will exit past the auto repair service bays. Bollards should be placed near the entrance of the service bays to direct traffic away from the garage door openings. 20 An existing underground tank access for the diesel fuel pumps is located adjacent to the proposedparking lot. The applicant must provide a truck maneuvering diagram to demonstrate how delivery vehicles will enter and exit the tank access area so as not to interfere withsiteparking and the drive-throughservice lane area. C. No part of the public street or boulevard may be used for stacking of automobiles. Comment:The end of the vehicle stacking lane is located approximately 70 feet from Large AvenueNE which will enable three additional vehicles to queue on-site between the entrance and the drive-through lane median if necessary. No part of the street or boulevard anticipated to be impacted byvehicle stacking.If at any time it becomes apparent that there is insufficient space for queuing without encumbering the street or right-of-way, the city reserves the right to require the applicant to redesign the drive- through service laneor discontinue the use of the service lane. D. The stacking lane, order board intercom, and window placement shall be designed and located in such a manner as to minimize glare to adjacent premises, particularly residential premises, and to maximize maneuverability of vehicles on the site. Comment:The stacking lane, order board and service window are located in close proximity to the existing building and a significant distance from adjacent public streets. The site is located in a commercial area with no residential uses nearby. There are three entrances to the site and a large paved area to provide unimpeded circulation through the site. The menu board will be located along the median at a point which allows vehicles to proceed to the service window in an efficient manner. We are recommending the placement of protective bollards at the end of the median and around the menu board to provide protection for the features and enhance visibility of the median in winter conditions. As a condition of approval, the car wash will not be allowed to reopen unless it can be demonstrated that queuing for the car wash will not conflict with queuing for the service window. E. The drive-through lanes shall be screened from view of adjoining residential zoning districts and public street rights of way. Comment:There are existing evergreen and deciduous trees located on the wide boulevard to the south of the proposed service lane. The applicant has not proposed adding any additional plantings. The property across Barthel Industrial Drive NE is currently vacant and there are no residential uses adjacent to the site. It is our opinion that existing plantings are sufficient for this site at this time. 21 F. Hours of operation shall be limited as necessary to minimize the effect of nuisance factors such as traffic, noise, and glare. Comment:The site is located in a commercial area near thehighway. Operation of the drive-through service lane is not anticipated to create a nuisance in this area. The applicant has not provided details on hours of operation for the fast food business; the planning commission or city council may choose to limit the hours of operationif they determine this is necessary. G.A lighting and photometric plan will be required that illustrates that drive-through service lane lighting shall comply with section 1000.10 of this Ordinance. Comment:A photometric plan must be submitted to show that footcandle readings do not exceed 1.0 when measured at the right-of-way line of Large Avenue NE and Barthel Industrial DriveNE.The lighting plan must show compliance with the performance standards in Section 1000.10 of the Ordinance. Off-StreetParking. The following are the parking requirements for the proposed auto repair, convenience market, and food salesuses: Auto Repair8 spaces, plus 1 additional space Actual square footage for the auto for each 800 square feet of floor repair use has not been provided. We area over 1,000 square feet are estimating that this use occupies approximately 5,000 square feet 15 resulting in parking spaces required Drive-in At least 1 space for each 35 The applicant is proposing 716 square establishment square feet of gross floor area of feetof dining areaand792 square feet and convenience service and dining area, but not of kitchen area. The fast food will have 30 food less than 15 spaces. 2 additional a drive-through window resulting in spaces shall be added for drive-required spaces through services facilities and 1 space for each 80 square feet of kitchen/storage area Retail storeAt least 1 space for each 200 The applicant is proposing 703 square square feet of floor area feetfor the convenience store for a 4 total of spaces required The applicant has proposed 37 parking stalls in the large paved area to the south of the building. An additional eight parking stalls are proposed along the northern boundary of the site. The 45 totalspaces provided arefour short of what is required forthe proposed uses; the applicant must provide the additional four spaces(possibly along the north boundary of the site). The existing pavement is in a deteriorated state and must be repaved as a condition for approval. Allparking areas must be striped and maintained in compliance with Section 1200.5 of the Ordinance. 22 Trash Enclosure. The applicant is proposing to locate a trash enclosure to the northwest of the building. The trash enclosure is required to meet the 20 foot side yard principal building setbacks in the B-3 District, and must be relocated to an area adjacent to the building or enclosed within the building (perhaps in the area of the vacated car wash). The applicant must provide atrash enclosure elevation detail to show the height and materials of the proposed concrete block wallsif the trash receptacles will be located outside of the building.The proposed enclosure must meet ordinance standards as outlined in Section 1000.14B. Other Site Improvements. New diesel fuel pumps are proposed on the south portion of the site adjacent to Barthel Industrial Drive NE. The pump location meets the 30 foot required setback. It appears that the canopy above the existing gasoline pumps will be also be altered. All new signage on the site must comply with Chapter 7 of the Ordinance. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a drive-through service lane accessory to a fast food restaurant at 5952Large Avenue NE. The site will also contain fuel sales, a convenience market, and an auto repair business. The site presents a challenge for locating a drive-though lane and concerns remain regarding the potential conflict between pedestrians accessing the building from the parking lot and vehicles queuing in the drive-through lane. The conditions outlined below are recommended to address this issue. Staff has noted that another option would be relocating the entry door from the corner of the building to the center of the west wall.An additional option would be to move the service window farther east and create a wider plaza entry at the corner of the buildingof raised concrete. With either of these options, we would still recommend the installationof a physical barrier between the building and the location of the marked crossing to ensure that pedestrians utilize the designated crossing area. We are recommending approval of the conditional use permit based on the finding that there is sufficientspace for stacking of vehicles that will not impede circulation through the site and that the site is located in a commercial district and will have little or no impact on nearby residential properties. Approval may be granted with the following conditions: 1.A detail must be provided to show the height of the median, curbing, and stormwater management. 2.The pedestrian crossing area shall be striped and raised to provide for additional safetyand must be ADA accessible.A detail must be provided to show the treatment of this feature. 23 3.The menu board shall be relocated to be placed so that a vehicle will be fully stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing and able to fully clear the pedestrian crossing when advancing in the queue. 4.A physical barrier (railing or solid wall) must be installed between the drive- through and the sidewalk to guide pedestrians to and from the building entrance and marked crossing. 5.Bollards must be installed to indicate the location of the proposed median, provide protection for the menu board, and direct traffic away from the service bays as they exit the drive-through service window. 6.A truck maneuvering diagram must be submitted to demonstrate how delivery vehicles will approach and exit from the underground tank access area. If it cannot be shown that truck maneuvering can be accommodated without conflicting with on-site parking, the conditional use permit will not be granted. 7.At no time shall vehicle stacking impede on-site circulation or extend intothe public right-of-way. The City reserves the right to require the applicant to redesign the drive-through service lane or discontinue its useif this situation occurs. 8.The car wash use may not be reinstated. 9.A photometric plan must be submitted to demonstrate compliance with Section 1000.10 of the Ordinance. 10.All parking areas must be resurfaced or repaired.Four additional parking spaces must be provided for a total of 49 stalls on the site.All parking spaces are to be striped and maintained in compliance with Section 1200.5 of the Ordinance. 11.
