a. REV 1: Addressed.

in order to address both Planning and Engineering comments.
a. REV 1: Addressed. Staff determined that the distance of the drive-thru is
measured from the middle of the intersection, not the edge of the intersection.
Therefore, the drive-thru can remain in its originally proposed location.

recommended to move the drive-thru lane to the other side, so that it is farther

from the middle of the intersection, not the edge.

feet in length measured from the center of the first window or service point. This
length may be reduced if a study is submitted and approved by the director of
community development or his designee demonstrating that a shorter length will
be sufficient for a particular use." Either increase the length of the drive-thru
lane, or provide justification for a shorter drive-thru lane. For example, use other
