The Wrangell Planning and Zoning Commission held a relatively short meeting last Thursday evening. There was only one main agenda item for the meeting, a request by Sara Gadd for a conditional use permit request. Gadd is wanting to set up a drive-through coffee shop at the corner of Bennett Street and Howell Avenue, in the industrial park. According to the meeting's agenda packet, this location should allow for a line of five cars in the drive-through without holding up traffic on Bennett Street. If there is a longer line than that, the rest of the lot can be used for cars to pull over so as not to block the road. Cars would drive onto the lot off of Bennett Street to the shop, then exit back out onto the road on the other end of the lot on Howell Avenue.
It was recommended that the commission approve this permit request, but only on the condition that Gadd receive written permission from the owner of the neighboring lot for use of that lot's driveway entrance from Bennett Street. However, Gadd was not present for the meeting and the commission had not received any document stating there was an agreement. As such, the commission decided to table the item for later on.
Other than this agenda item, the commission spent the meeting continuing their ongoing discussion of rezoning the old Institute Property.
