Councimember 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 /> 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 Zeoite into this site but it does <br /> not allow for left turns out of the site. <br /> Councimember Woestehoff agreed with Councimember 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 /> Councimember 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 Councimembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. He noted that this discussion may <br /> be worth tabling to see if there are other appetites for this area. <br /> Councimember Howell concurred with the other Councimembers. 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 /> Councimember 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 /> Councimember 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 /> 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 /> Motion by Councimember Riley, seconded by Mayor Kuzma, to waive the Charter requirement <br /> to read the ordinance aloud and adopt ordinance 423-12. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Councimember Musgrove nay <br /> Councimember Riley aye <br /> Councimember Howell nay <br /> Councimember Olson aye <br /> Councimember Specht aye <br /> Councimember Woestehoff nay <br /> Mayor Kuzma aye <br /> City Council 1 July 11, 2023 <br /> Page 12 of 19 <br />
