A proposed drive-thru for Ziggi’s Coffee on Dexter-Ann Arbor Road is under review by the Dexter City Council. The final decision on the site plan is expected soon. Ziggi’s Coffee, which began in Colorado in 2004, has grown into a popular chain known for its drive-thru service and diverse menu, which includes specialty coffees, teas, and smoothies. The council is currently considering two key motions regarding this proposal.
• The first motion focuses on granting a special land use permit, which passed with a 4-1 vote. This approval is conditional on the applicant addressing various concerns raised by city officials and consultants.
• The second motion, regarding the combined preliminary and final site plan, faced postponement to allow for further discussion. This motion includes several deviations from standard requirements, which need careful review.
• Council members expressed mixed feelings about site usage and the need for mixed-use developments in the area.
This proposal is significant as it reflects the community's vision for development and how businesses can align with local goals. The outcome may influence future projects and the overall growth strategy of Dexter.
