<br />Councilmember Musgrove agrees with the dedicated right turn lane. She asked if this could be <br />changed in the future to not allow left turns if it does not work for public safety. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson stated that this would be very difficult to do as there is no way to <br />physically stop someone from making a left turn. He stated that they could design an intersection <br />called a three corner turn where they could make left turns from Zeolite into this site but it does <br />not allow for left turns out of the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff agreed with Councilmember Musgrove and shared that this is one of <br />the reasons why COR-2a reduced the number of drive-thru lanes that are allowable in the <br />subdistrict. He stated that by allowing the multiple drive-thru lanes they are potentially creating <br />more problems in this potentially busy area. He noted that he is not a huge supporter of this plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated that it would be beneficial to have the developers come forward to <br />a Council meeting to find out their appetite for moving the bank. He acknowledged the other <br />concerns shared by Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. He noted that this discussion may <br />be worth tabling to see if there are other appetites for this area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell concurred with the other Councilmembers. She stated that this is not an <br />optimal project for the site based on other spaces in the area. She stated that she will not be in <br />support of this project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this is a good business although there may be other places that it <br />may fit better. He stated that this is the kind of business that will bring people to the COR. He <br />noted that they have already given the bank their initial approval and it would seem disingenuous <br />to pull back. He stated that he will be in support of this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff discussed Village Bank and that there is a vacant lot adjacent to this <br />parcel. He asked if banks are drivers for neighboring businesses to develop nearby. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan explained that he is not sure if banks in general are <br />drivers for other businesses. He noted that having a bank in the COR is important as it provides a <br />stable financial presence. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Mayor Kuzma, to waive the Charter requirement <br />to read the ordinance aloud and adopt Ordinance #23-12. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove nay <br />Councilmember Riley aye <br />Councilmember Howell nay <br />Councilmember Olson aye <br />Councilmember Specht aye <br />Councilmember Woestehoff nay <br />Mayor Kuzma aye <br />City Council / July 11, 2023 <br />Page 12 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
