1. Approval of the site plan is contingent upon approval of the PUD amendment allowing a
drive-thru window.
2. The western three angled parking stalls must be striped and signed as compact stalls. Any
existing bufferyard plantings that are removed for the development must be replaced within
the same area. A landscape plan must be submitted to the city for approval showing
locations and species. The applicant may group plantings together in order to add interest to
the landscaping if the design does not diminish the screening capacity.
3. The applicant shall work with staff to locate the patio and secondary entrance into the space as
shown in Exhibit A."
