Commissioner Brady asked if there is a drive-through window on Pad 1 and if so where would it be located? Mr. Grady said based on the way the drive aisle is, it appears it would be on the north side of the building. Commissioner Brady asked if staff would make sure that is where it is with some measurement to the nearest residence. Commissioner Brady asked if the trees placed at Pad 4 will be sufficient to knock the sound down as opposed to constructing a wall? Mr. Grady said that based on the noise study prepared for this site, there is no indication that a wall is necessary to reduce noise to meet the city's noise standards. Commissioner Brady asked if there is going to be some requirement for the pads that will be using drive-through speakers that they cannot use any amplification at the windows themselves. Mr. Grady said that is not part of this project approval. Commissioner Brady asked if we can limit amplification especially at Pad 4 which is closer to the residences. Mr. Grady said that we can include language for that in the conditions of approval. Commissioner McGinnis asked if the applicant has disclosed to the future homeowners of the subdivision the intent of the applicant for the corner?
