SUBJECT.- Shakey's Frozen Custard - Discussion and consideration of the of

located at 701 University Drive East (01-225)
The PRC held a meeting on Wednesday, October 17, 2001 to review the above-
mentioned project. Commissioner Trapani opened the meeting by stating the
items to be discussed. The first item was the moving of the menu board from the
side of building to the front of the building and second item being the screening of
the walk-in cooler. Ms. Hitchcock stated that at the last meeting the PRC Board
recommended to the applicant to move the menu board from the front of the
building to the inside of the building. Currently, the menu board is on the side of
the building but the applicant is requesting it to be on the front of the building. Ms.
Hitchcock also stated that the walk-in cooler was not discussed at the last board
meeting. Mr. Billings stated that the menu board has been taken down and they
are now requesting to put it back up but on the front of the building below the
window. Mr. Billings also stated that the menu board that was on the side would
not fit on the inside of the building. Commissioner Trapani brought up the walk-in
cooler and asked the staff what is recommendation for outside coolers. Ms.
Hitchcock stated that this is the first case that has had a cooler visible from the
right-of-way. Ms. Ruiz stated that normally coolers are screened or in an area
that is not visible. Commissioner Trapani asked what was the staff's
recommendation. Ms. Hitchcock stated it is at the board's discretion but
recommended fencing or for the building aesthetics to match the building.
Commissioner Happ asked if the cooler had been permitted. Ms. Ruiz stated
that the cooler was permitted but the building department did not know the cooler
was so much bigger than the one they replaced and the aesthetics was not
considered at the time the permit was issued. Commissioner Williams suggested
a brick wall to screen the cooler. Commissioner Happ recommended to Mr.
Billings to ask a contractor the options for screening the cooler within their budget
and to come back to the board. Commissioner Trapani made the motion to
approve the relocation of the menu board from the side to the front of the building
and for the applicant to come back for the approval of the visible aesthetics for
the cooler's screening. Commissioner Happ seconded and the motion passed 3-
0.
