Planning staff presented the proposal and noted the building is about 5,700 square feet, 27 feet tall, and will have a parking area with 127 off‑street spaces accessed from Coughlin Lane.

Elevations were revised to add additional stone to meet the development text’s design requirements.

Scott McClintock of Cass Corporation, present for the applicant, said the company is excited to bring the restaurant to Coughlin Crossing and expects engineering plans to be approved soon with construction possible this winter.

Planning commission and staff recommended approval with the conditions listed in the resolution. Council voted to approve Resolution 25‑76 by roll call.
