The following issues must be resolved before this plan will be approved: • The proposed coffee shop area is too small. The plan submitted is 18 feet long and a little over 10 feet wide. The Caribou Coffee shop at Eden Prairie Center (which I assume is a typical arrangement) is over 26 feet long and befinreen 10 to almost 14 feet wide. When the Eden Prairie location was proposed, it was considered to be too small and additional storage space of approximately ten feet by 12 feet was required (and this storage area currently is completely full). Another example of Caribou Coffee lack of storage space in a unit would be the New Hope Location. At times it is nearly impossible to walk through the backroom of that store, as food and single service items are �tacked onto the floor, blocking passage to storage shelving and the hand sink. Finally, the Caribou units in the Lund's and Byerly's stores have additional approved storage in their back rooms. • Submit a plan that is numbered to coincide with the equipment list and cut sheets. Submit a finish schedule. Submit cut sheets for each piece of foodservice equipment. • This facility needs a place for additional storage for food and single service items. • This facility needs a hand sink.
