Q. Does the site plan include handicapped parking? <br />• A. The site plan includes the required handicapped parking space, and it complies in terms of <br />size and location. <br />Q. What about the impact of patrons parking on the street? Will the city change the <br />permit parking requirements? <br />A. Yes, the city will work with residents to address on-street parking concerns, and identify ways <br />to amend the permit parking so as to accommodate resident access to on-street parking. <br />Q. How high is the building? <br />A. It is not much higher than the current structure. The building could be as high as 30 feet <br />from grade in a B-1 zoning area. <br />Q. Will the restaurant have a liquor license? <br />A. The owners are considering applying for a beer and wine license; there are no open liquor <br />licenses for the city at this time. The owners further stated that it is not their intention to operate <br />a bar at this location, but rather to offer their patrons a glass of wine or beer with their meal. <br />Q. What about odors from the exhaust fans? We are concerned about cooking odors in <br />• the neighborhood. Is there a way to measure odors from exhaust fans? <br />A. The owner, Stanley Won, explained that the following will be used to control odors: <br />1. Diffuser-with two filters <br />2. Ductwork-with a spray deodorizer feature <br />3. VentMaster hood that utilizes ultraviolet light to eliminate odors (which he uses in <br />one of the other restaurants he owns). <br />4. The city does not regulate exhaust fan fumes/odors; however, we can ask our building <br />department to get us some information about them. <br />Q. If this property owner gets variances for this site plan, could the site be used for fast <br />food or less desirable businesses in the future? <br />A. No, the site can not be used for fast food. The city cannot grant a variance for purposes of <br />use, and fast food uses are not allowed in B-1 zones. Therefore, the site could not be used for <br />fast food in the future. <br />Q. Where will employees park? <br />A. The owner is looking for alternatives, possibly will secure leased space at Twin Cities Co-op <br />Credit Union. Mr. Won is investigating this possibility at the city's urging. <br />r: <br />Notes from Neighborhood Meeting on 1871 Larpenteur, June 23, 2006 Page 2 of 3 <br />
