There are only 10 autos that can be lined up and upon entering the site, traffic must cross traffic and turn immediately to the left to get into line. Ifthere are more than 10 cars, there will be a blockage. The site could be laid out much better and have a much longer area for stacking cars. Also, combining it with the neighbor, there will be two-way traffic in each one of these with cross- traffic. It might be too complex. Wayne urged the petitioner to lay-out a site that would improve stacking ability and to eliminate the cross traffic', Jay Dorman said he did not like the site plan at all-it is dangerous-there are different ways to lay it out. Leo Dierckman commented that the blue canopies and the orange doors do not work for him and the Committee should re-study this. Rick Ripma asked about the trash dumpster. In Castleton, the actual unit that goes inside the dumpster to hide is taller than the brick. So, yOt!- see this ugly thing sticking up-how tall is the brick on the trash receptacle? Mike Dauss responded that the elevations proposed are above the normal six cubic-yard trash container and that is what is being proposed. Rick Ripma wanted to make certain that the petitioner is not allowed to install a trash receptacle that" . is taller than the enclosure. Angie Com1 commented that if need be, the dumpster height and trash receptacle could be a condition of the approval. Sally Shapiro: Requested the inclusion of green parking spaces in the parking area. Also, is the brick real or a veneer? Mike Dauss responded that the brick is real, and a standard, modular unit brick. Home Depot has a Norman brick which is 16 long by 4 high-a bigger unit-and on a building this size, proportionately, it just would not work.

Currently, the landscape plan does not meet the Ordinance. Additional details are to be provided on the ATM enclosure and signage; the sign square footage is to be in concert with the Ordinance. The dumpster location should be looked at. The Department requested that the petitioner provide crosswalk striping west of the bike rack, nOlih of the sidewalk. Sally Shapiro requested the incorporation of green parking spaces on the site. The petitioner stated a willingness to review and determine if this was workable. Jay Donnan expressed concern with the layout of the site in terms of stacking ability for the drive- thm. Rick Ripma reiterated his position on green parking spaces.
