Chick Fil A |
The new site plan called for an additional drive through lane to reduce traffic at the Chick-Fil-A.
GBC Design Site Engineer Allan Wiley said Chick-Fil-A expects the site will draw a lot of customers.
“They have a feeling that that site is going to do well, have a lot of business,” Wiley said. “So they wanted to add the second drive through lane in order to help alleviate any kind of wait time while you are going through it and getting your food.”
The commission also forwarded plans for a new building at the MEMC campus to the Board of Adjustment. The building would be used to cut the type of crystal used in solar energy panels.
Though the commission agreed with the majority of MEMC’s plans for the site, the building would be made of more than 25 percent metal, which goes against the city code. The Board of Adjustment will decide whether to grant MEMC’s wish for more metal in the design.
Mayor Bill Hennessy said he did not think the metal material for the new building would be a problem because the building would be in an isolated, mostly commercial area.
“You can’t see it from anywhere around,” Hennessy said. “Unless you’re pulling into that campus will you be able to see it. And I don’t have a problem with it. It still has to go to the Board of Adjustment, but we have no control over the Board of Adjustment.”
During the meeting, the commission also forwarded approval for pet grooming service, K-9 Creations, to the city council and approved a conditional use permit for a store called Missouri Wine and Gifts.
Commissioners Doug Howard, Curtis Seymour, and Lou Viviano were excused from the meeting.
