Mr. Zittrouer stated that the entrance to the restaurant is from Canal Street. Commissioner Tim Lovezzola questioned the location of the dumpster since it would be visible from the Pooler Parkway. Commissioner Larry Olliff questioned a twenty (20) foot parking setback line running through the parking lot. Since this is not a requirement of the City of Pooler, a letter is needed from Branigar approving the encroachment into the parking setback.
