Session 1708, Minutes October 13, 1997 AGENDA NO. 7 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 7501 OLIVE: Mr. Ollendorff said that Council was asked to consider another conditional use permit which is for a new Walgreen's store and a relocated Rosenbloom Monument office for the property at the northwest corner of Olive and Hanley. The Plan Commission recommends approval, but not without the usual conditions: Screening should be installed between the parking areas and the street, sight proof walls between the parking area and the property lines, the drive thru operation be limited to no earlier than seven a.m., no later than eleven p.m., that it be limited to pharmacy and medical related items, the intercom controls should be such that the sound does not reach the adjacent homes, a detailed landscape plan is required, a plan to locate and screen all utilities, that signs must conform to the sign code, that alcoholic beverage sales be voluntarily limited to the hours from nine a.m to ten p.m., that litter control on this and adjacent neighboring properties be instituted and that all lighting fixtures be shielded from those adjacent residences. With these conditions, Mr. Ollendorff sees no reason not to approve this permit. Mr. Munkel moved approval of the permit based on the conditions as set forth by the City Manager. Mr. Lieberman seconded the motion. Mr. Doug Huff, Pace Properties, responding to Mr. Lieberman, said that the Walgreen's structure was 15,120 square feet and that the old store at Midland and Olive will be relocated to the new facility. Responding further to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Huff said that Walgreen's will be on a ground lease and own the improvements. Responding to Mr. Lieberman's question regarding alcoholic beverage sales, Mr. Huff said that it was not Walgreen's intention to sell alcoholic beverages out of this store and that they realize that if they ever do in the future, they will have to come back before Council. Responding to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Huff said that it was his understanding that Walgreen's, company wide, is making a move to get out of the business of selling alcohol. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Huff said that all were fine except for condition number three, only because he misrepresented it to Walgreen's. He told them six a.m. to eleven p.m. instead of seven a.m. to eleven p.m., therefore he is somewhat hesitant to say that Walgreen's has accepted that condition. One of the purposes of the drive thru is to make it convenient for people on their way to work or school. The morning hour period is somewhat important to Walgreen's. Mayor Adams asked Mr. Lieberman what the Plan Commission's thinking was
