At Wednesday's city council meeting the council will vote on two items for the fast food  franchise. The first is a special use permit for a drive-through, which is required by ordinance. The second is a request to have the four lots they purchased to be consolidated.

Meeting documents show McDonald's says a survey shows the 4 lots they purchased have never been consolidated but Stearns County records show the parcels as being combined. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the requests on September 18th and recommends approval of both items.
