Davidson opened the public hearing and asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor or against Ordinance No. 1407, Series 2002. COUNCIL COMMENTS Davidson noted Ballot Issue 2C, the Lodging Tax, was passed by the voters at the November 5th election. He stated although Ballot Issues 2A and 2B would have provided for a new library and expanded recreation center, the lodging tax was to defray the operational cost for those facilities. Bridget Bacon, 195 S. Washington Avenue, Louisville, CO, suggested some of the proceeds of the lodging tax be directed for future library and recreation operational costs. MOTION: Sisk moved Council approve Ordinance No. 1407, Series 2002, as amended, seconded by Levihn. Roll call vote was taken and the motion passed by a vote of 7-0. RESOLUTION NO. 40, SERIES 2002, AMENDMENT TO THE MCDONALD'S PUD PLAN AUTHORIZING MCDONALD'S INSTALLATION OF A SECOND DRIVE-THRU MENU BOARD AND A DRIVE-THRU LANE AT EXISTING MCDONALD'S RESTAURANT Davidson called for Staff presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood reviewed the requested PUD amendment, which was approved as the McDonald's PUD in 1994. The amendment pertains to an additional drive-thru menu/order board proposed to be located at the rear of the site, adjacent to the existing menu board. The second "side-by-side" is proposed to alleviate traffic back-up that currently exists in the parking lot by "speeding up" the drive-thru ordering process with a second menu board, and in turn, reducing the line-up of automobiles that creates an overall traffic flow problem in the western portion of the parking lot. He stated four parking spaces would be eliminated to provide for additional landscaping and two additional pedestrian crosswalks. Wood noted that the Planning Commission reviewed the PUD amendment request at the November 12 regular business meeting and recommends approval with two conditions. He noted the Commission had varied opinions on the need for this drive-thru area, but felt that the additional drive-thru was need to alleviate the traffic and pedestrian conflicts that occur on site daily. Davidson called for Applicant presentation. 4
