Reply to comment by bwelsh822 in Snowden Starbucks by bwelsh822

The drive through is included on these illustrations. It wraps around the south side of the building (parallel to Snowden)

Duh! My fault… like I said I feel like it’s been under construction forever ! Now it makes sense… they are going to move Starbucks to the other side. Got it 🤣

Yes, they are expanding the building towards Snowden River and then wrapping the drive thru lane around the building.

Its worth mentioning that there was a modicum of pushback from a few people in community (including Owen Brown village) against this plan. By expanding the building/drive thru lane towards Snowden, they ate into the setback required by zoning regulations by a foot or two. I (and others who were aware) asked that they not waive the requirements for the setback because the setback is what is supposed to keep Snowden a green parkway instead of becoming Rt. 40 or Rt. 1. We didn't succeed in opposing the waiver for the setback. We had modest success in ensuring that the relocated dumpster wouldn't be an eyesore along the entrance to the nearby residential area.
