The future site layout plan to facilitate an eXpansion of Cobom's identifies the potential need to remove the center driVe lane and 38 parking spaces from this westerly parking lot. The drive- thru traffic pattern for the pharmacy wo.Uld remain basically the same as it is proposed today. The Caribou drive-thru users would still be directed to the south end of the parking lot but with the loss of the 2na driv~e lane, it will be n~ceSSary to create a cul-de-sac type configuration at the south end to enable vehicles t° negoiiate a turn to the north again to approach the drive-thru lane at Caribou. ~ The current requirement for off-street Parking spaces for Coborns, Comer Retail, Gateway Retail, Pond Building :and an additional building on Lot 2 is 445. The current site layout for Town Center 3rd Addition identifies 488 spaces, which includes the loss of 1 space to extend the length of the Caribou: drive-thru lane. The future site layout eliminates another 38 parking spaces in conjuction with an expansion of COboms, which results in a site total of 450 parking spaces. The future site layout maintains compliance with the 445 parking spaces required. On December 14, 2004, the City CoUncil granted preliminary Site plan approval, based on the modifications to the drive-thru lane, With a condition that the Planning Commission be given the opportunity to review the final site plan.
