Main Street, to Expand the Existing Drive-Thru to a Side- by-Side Double Drive-Thru Phil Willems left the meeting due to a conflict of interest. Valley Foods Inc. the owner and operator of the existing Culver’s Restaurant at 900 E. Main Street is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to install a second drive-thru order point adjacent to (south of) the existing drive-thru on the property. The second drive-thru 1  aisle is in response to a need to modify operations, so they are more accommodating to increased drive-thru demand – as accentuated by the COVID pandemic. Additional “order- waiting” spaces will be provided in the form of designated parking stalls to manage the wait time after the menu board. In addition, six (6) stalls will be added at the SE corner of site and the stalls on south lot line will be shifted slightly southward to accommodate the 2nd drive thru and travel lane. The public hearing was opened at 6:07 p.m. It was closed at 6:08 p.m. with no comments from the public. Motion Wallace, second Thomas, to approve the conditional use permit in the Plan Commission packet, with the following changes: (1) remove the existing Section 2.c.; (2) replace the map referenced in Section 2.b. with a map that shows the sidewalk terminating at the south driveway entrance and moving to the east as described by the Culver’s representative; and (3) adding a new Section 2.c. that states: When the intersection of Schumacher Road, Raemisch Road, and State Highway 113 is completed, the Village retains the authority to reconsider sidewalk access to the Culver’s restaurant from the north. Motion carried 6-0. Phil Willems returned to the meeting.
