PlanningBoard | 2008-06-23 | 5 | never have cars queued into the street, and that they had a seven-car stack. She noted that it was imperative that they have the drive-through, and that the majority of the food that went home with the customer did so at the drive-through. She agreed that the trash should be picked up more frequently, and would be happy to ensure that would happen. Vice President Kohlstrand noted that she was not generally in favor of drive-throughs, but she appreciated the applicant's efforts to improve the circulation on-site and get the queuing on-site. She was sensitive to the fact that the existing drive-through did not work very well. She liked President Cook's comment that if a problem with queuing on Encinal occurred, then it may be an issue of the site being too small for a drive-through. She supported the idea of monitoring this site for a nine-month period, and ensuring that the studies be performed during the school year rather than the summer in order to get a good sense of the implications for the afternoon activity during the school year. She suggested considering the broader issue of allowing future drive- throughs in the Park Street vicinity. President Cook proposed that the conditions be changed so that if necessary, the use permit may be revoked in order to ensure safe street and pedestrian operations, and that the item may be brought back before the Planning Board. Mr. Thomas noted that a condition could be added, making it very clear that the use permits can be revoked after a noticed public hearing. Staff will monitor the conditions, and if a problem has been found, it will be brought before the Board; staff did not wish to set the item for a fixed review. President Cook suggested that be included in Condition 15. She further suggested that Condition 8 be changed to require that the site be cleaned of trash on a daily basis. She noted that Condition 9 discussed the applicant's need to get the necessary encroachment permit from CalTrans for the main driveway. Mr. Thomas noted that Encinal was a state highway, and that if CalTrans did not approve it, they would not want the project to move forward. He added that the Fire Department has examined this project as well. President Cook would like an additional condition that wood windows and doors be added where appropriate. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that she liked the wood-clad doors. Vice President Kohlstrand noted that wood doors were more residential, and that most businesses had metal-framed doors. Board member Cunningham noted that there were some wood doors on Park Street. President Cook suggested the use of a wood door, or a door that was compatible with the window treatment.
