QUESTIONS Commissioner Ken Billups Jr. asked if the site would still meet parking
requirements considering the loss of three (3) parking spaces for the additional
drive-thru.
Staff responded that the site will still meet parking requirements per the UDC.
Commissioner Mitchell Peil questioned how the additional drive-thru will be
kept separate from the parking lot to not create confusion.
Staff replied the anticipated method would be with curbing.
Commissioner Mitchell Peil also inquired about whether the incidental ground-
mounted signs would be facing the adjacent shopping center.
Staff affirmed that the proposed signage would face the shopping center.
APPLICANT Matt Schlicht, Engineering Solutions, 50 SE 30th St., Lee’s Summit, MO. Mr.
Schlicht, on behalf of the property owner, Amazn Property Management, LLC.,
stated that the intended method of separation between parking and the drive-
thru would be commercial-grade curbing and landscaping where applicable.
Commissioner Mitchell Peil questioned the applicant about the stacking spaces
in the new drive-thru.
Mr. Schlicht stated they would still meet the requirements for stacking per the
UDC and will now be able to accommodate even more.
Commissioner Ken Billups Jr. asked if a shared parking agreement was
necessary with the adjacent shopping center in the case more parking is
required.
Mr. Schlicht responded the site already meets and exceeds the required parking
spots per the UDC, but in case more spots are needed, he believes a shared
parking agreement exists currently.
