Re: Amendment to Site Plan Review Approval SPR-04-0174-YL
Dear Katrin:
Thank you for your letter dated May 16, 2005. When we review a site for site plan approval, we must review traffic flow patterns for ingress, egress and vehicular movement on the site.
At the time of street frontage improvements, the existing espresso stand will be located within the right-of-way and must be moved. Where the espresso stand is located now, will most
likely be a limited driveway access.
It is unclear at this time that the espresso stand could be retained on this site. It appears that there is not enough room between the two buildings to keep the espresso stand near
its existing location, and provide two lanes of travel as you indicate in Proposal #1.
The same restraints occur in the rear of the building. The 90 degree parking for your building and the Damitio building requires a 23-foot drive lane. Placing the espresso stand as
you indicate in Proposal #2, does not provide for 23-feet of drive lane, and would not allow a car parked in those stalls a way to back out.
At the time of frontage improvements, you may submit a request to move the stand to a different location on your parcel. The condition is appropriate, and does not restrict a formal
application to relocate the stand on the site, if it can meet all City standards in place at the time of application.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
