April 12, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes

loading conditions which from my understanding are going to be proposed mainly not during non-operating hours when the parking lot would be vacant and also the security gates could be closed so it's a secure entry point for deliveries. The existing tree is in the way of the trash enclosure so we're proposing to remove that tree and propose to screen the generator in the rear of the property with landscaping so it isn't visible from Central Avenue. The vegetation that they have proposed looks like it's not the best option, so we are looking at alternatives that were proposed or recommended. The trash enclosure and the concrete pad total around 112 square feet. The addition of the trash enclosure was mainly due to the fact that there was an existing enclosure and the addition of the generator pad was to give a level spot for the generator to be installed, which is a requirement to provide backup power for security equipment, since cannabis businesses are required to be self-monitoring 24/7. They will have a carbon filtration system that will be outside of the typical heating ventilation and air conditioning system to clean any odors that may come from the storage or the sale of the cannabis products, so there won't be any disturbance to any of the neighbors in the in the immediate area. Although they are not really changing the site as far as the pedestrian access from the parking spaces to the front of the building or the rear of the building if someone is parking in the handicap space, they are striping the property to basically designate the safe pedestrian walkway, to the public way on the South of the property in order to access the building. A new ramp was recommended at the northwest corner of the building from this existing sidewalk and that'll be easy to comply. The applicant will adjust the existing handicap ramp up to the existing sidewalk to accommodate that that site strike aisle. The system they are planning on using is some of the existing light fixtures that were on the building already and there's also some pole lights in the corner the northeast and northwest corners of the property currently. The architect thinks that the foot candle ratings were coming down lower is that the vegetation is overgrown currently, so once that's maintained and cleaned up that will give more access for the lights to land on the surface of the parking as well as

ere coming down lower is that the vegetation is overgrown currently, so once that's maintained and cleaned up that will give more access for the lights to land on the surface of the parking as well as changing those light fixtures to more modern and higher efficiency LED security lights. On the west facade the bank had bulletproof window drive up teller stations, in which the applicant is planning on using those as order pickup windows. So, from the architect understanding, a customer would make their order online, schedule a 15-minute time slot window time as to when they're coming to pick up the order and drive around, pick up and go. All the orders will be prearranged and prescheduled. The other window will remain but they will board that up on the inside, they will cover it with an opaque security film and essentially building a wall inside that existing opening and it won't be use for anything at all. They are proposing a new sign that will be located at the same place as the previous one and it will not be illuminated. The blade sign will be located at the southeast corner of the property and it will around 24 inches in diameter. On the southwest corner is going to be essentially a logo sign with a small box sign below to just outline the cannabis dispensary. BOARD QUESTIONS Chairman Bagoff asked if the emergency standby generator is tested every week. Mr. Elkins believes it is every week and it's also natural gas powered and the testing will be done during the day. Chairman Bagoff asked if in the vault area there will be an emergency button just in case somebody gets stuck in there. Mr. Elkins said answered in the affirmative and said that every room of the dispensary will have a panic alarm and an intercom. Chairman Bagoff asked if the applicant will stripe the parking lot for fire zone and how high is the fence. Mr. Elkins said if it is a requirement they will comply and said that the fence is 6 feet high.
