Respectfully submitted, Cheryll Lund, Secretary Laurel City/County Planning Board Dear Board Members: Attached is the proposed site plan for locating my new busines& 7~e ~p~r~g~- ~r£~, and the Temporary Use Permit application. My business will be a freestanding, drive-up coffee kiosk, which will produce and sell specialty coffee drinks. Frank Pelican has agreed to allow me to locate my first kiosk on his lots between the Howard Johnson Inn and the Locomotive Casino and Restaurant. He has been very gracious in allowing me this oppommity, as he knows how excited I am to start my own business here in my own community. The site plan I have provided involves re-working some of the existing landscaping between the two lots to allow for my building and a driveway on each side. My plan is to remove the landscaping between parking spaces 1,2, & 3 of the Casino and spaces 7,8, & 9 of the Inn. Since I am eliminating 6 spaces, we will add an additional 6 spaces in the rear of the casino. Any landscaping that will be removed for the driveways will be worked in on the North and South sides of the kiosk to provide for a more welcome driveway and to keep the area neat, clean, and beautiful, as it now looks. I will add addkional flower barrels on each end to brighten up the area as well. The current landscaping strip between the two lots is approximately 14 feet across. My building will only be 8 feet wide and 10 or 12 feet in length. Therefore, once the building is in place and the landscaping is complete there will be adequate space for 4 or 5 cars to be in line for coffee and they will not interrupt any incoming or outgoing traffic from either the Casino or the Hotel. I also believe that by adding the two driveways this will provide for an easier flow oftraffc between the two business's, will open up the 12 parking spaces located on the north side of the Casino for more parking as the front lot fills, and will remove several "sketchy" parking spaces in the Casino from which cars have to back out into the right of way to leave the lot. It will also provide another convenient service to any visitors staying in the Hotel. My initial plans are to have my business open from 5:30 am to 3:30 pm each day. Frank and I have worked this out so I won't interfere with the busiest part of his day, the early evening and night. More than 90% of my business will be done before noon each day, so Frank and I don't feel I will have any negative impact on the current traffic flows or parking. I believe my business will provide some much needed competition in the market, as there is only one drive-up coffee kiosk within approximately 8-10 miles and the 1999 traffic counts more than support the addition of another kiosk. As mentioned earlier, I am extremely excited to open a business in my hometown and to become a more active member of the community. Thanks for your time and effort in reviewing this site plan and permit. I look forward to your reply and the chance to provide some great products and service for the Laurel community.
