Approved conforming and no conditions need to be placed on it in order for the application to receive . approval. Whereas, a special use permit allows conditions to be placed as deemed necessary to ensure that there are no negative impacts by the development. If a site plan meets all codes then the City must automatically approve the application and no notice is sent to neighbors. Gerry Gilman, 2398 Rice Creek Road, stated that she has numerous concerns regarding the drive thru. They currently have some light and noise issues from the current use and believe the drive thru would increase the noise level. She also believes that by pushing all the cars out to Rice Creek Road it would create a logistical issue. She is concerned that the proposed six foot tall fence would not be sufficient and is worried that the light from the cars will be directed into their bedroom window. Jim Try, 2443 Mounds Avenue, stated at the last Council meeting several Council Members were worried with the incoming traffic coming only from Silver Lake Road, that it may create traffic issues. He added that several neighbors are worried if a restaurant should go in that the garbage could become an issue. He requested that if a fire door is required, that it is an emergency only exit door with alarm, so employees are not able to use the back entrance to smoke or loiter. Schiferl asked if headlights have been an issue for his property. Try replied that he currently does not have an issue with headlights on his property; however he does know that the two houses to the north have had issues with headlights shinning into the residences. Jeff Wrede, Momentum Design Group, stated that the proposed drive thru would be a beneficial traffic change and would eliminate any traffic hazards. He added that the City Code would only • allow a six-foot fence, however they will be transplanting several large evergreen trees to also help block any headlights. There would be wet and dry garbage, but would make sure that it is picked up regularly. There will be emergency exits added according the IBC and would add detect alarms to the doors, which will sound if the doors are opened. They would also add lamp shields to the lights that face the north to help control the light spillage into the neighbor's yards. Schiferl asked if the applicant could address the issue of headlights shining into residences to the north and improve the landscaping along the back wall and on the north end of the property. Wrede replied that there is a privacy fence along the north and the grade drops off at the end of the property, which causes the fence to sit at the lowest point of the property, but would look into improving it.
