Overview
The request consists of adding a canopy covered drive-up pharmacy window on the
northwest corner of the existing Coborn's store.
Design Standards
The canopy facia will be an Aluminum Composite Metal panel system. The canopy will be
supported with two support columns placed within the new curb island. The columns will
have a rock face concrete masonry unit base with architectural metal wrap on the remainder
of the column.
Landscapin~
There was no landscape plan submitted, as there is no requirement for any additional
landscaping.
Parking and Circulation
With the addition of the drive-up pharmacy window there will not be any additional parking
requirements and existing parking will not be affected by the addition.
There is concern that vehicles exiting the drive-up window have the ability to drive into the
pedestrian circulation of the entrance/exit doors of the store. A planter shall be placed at
the end of the drive-thru lane to prevent vehides from driving into the pedestrian circulation
as they exit the building.
The proposed curb island possibly will create a problem as vehicles might try to "cut" the
corner to enter into the drive-thru lane, should they not make the turn they will need to
back-up to realign their vehicle, thus blocking the parking lot drive lane. If the island were
to be extended to the north, it would place the vehicles farther out of the parking lot drive
lane.
To prevent wrong way traffic form entering the drive-thru, appropriate signage should be
placed at the exit of the drive-thru.
Sewer and Water
The proposed addition does not affect sewer and water services.
Drainage and Utilities
The proposed addition does not affect drainage and utilities.

Signage
Additional informational signage will be added to the entry end of the drive-thru canopy.
This informational signage shall not exceed four (4) square feet per sign in sign area.
Plannine Commission Action
The applicant suggested they would prefer placing a planter at the end of the drive lane, to
prevent vehicles from driving into the pedestrian circulation as they exit the building, instead
of adding additional bollards as staff had suggested. The Planning Commission agreed with
this request.
The applicant was asked how many vehicles they anticipate will be using the drive-thru daily.
They believed initially that 5-10 vehicles a day will use it, but once established, it would
generate about 25 vehicles.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the
City Council with conditions recommended by staff and amended per the applicant's
request.
Recommendation
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the
conditional use permit request for Coborn's Incorporated to construct a canopy covered
drive-up pharmacy window with the following conditions:
o
All comments of the City Engineer are addressed.
A planter shall be placed at the end of the drive-thru lane to prevent vehicles
from driving into the pedestrian circulation as they exit the building. The planter
and plantings shall be of a height and density as not to impede the sight lines of
both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Extend north end of the curb island to align with north edge of the existing
building.
Signage reading, "Do Not Enter - Pharmacy Drive-Thru Exit" shall be placed
on backside of proposed Yield sign.
