Outdoor seating associated with the restaurant is allowed, provided the establishment 1 exercise significant efforts to reduce the likelihood of noisy or disruptive activitie s in the 2 outdoor seating area after 10:00 p.m. 3 4 Ms. Rothstein noted if there is excessive noise after 10:00 p.m. the CUP could be considered for 5 revocation. 6 7 Chairperson Gondorchin asked if there are any future plans in that location. Ms. Rothstein stated 8 the restaurant is a Conditional Use. The amendment is needed any time there are changes to the 9 CUP. This will not limit any future redevelopment. Chairperson Gondorchin asked about the 10 hours of operation and whether it is open year -round. Ms. Rothstein stated there are hours of 11 operation set for the business and the outdoor seating would follow the same hours (11:00 a.m. to 12 1:00 a.m.) and there are no specifications that the patio be closed during the winter. Chairperson 13 Gondorchin asked how noise would be monitored and enforced. Ms. Rothstein stated the City’s 14 nuisance ordinance would control the noise in decibel level. The police department has a decibel 15 reader. Ms. Rothstein stated there are some issues with using decibel levels. There is no 16 formalized process. 17 18 Commiss ioner Bartel asked about the 10-foot setback from the sidewalk and asked if the 19 sidewalk would be right next to the patio. Ms. Rothstein stated the patio would be relatively 20 narrow. The Stinson Blvd project is in the right -of-way which is off the property and includes the 21 sidewalk. Ms. Rothstein will research the exact distance and provide to City Council. 22 23 Commissioner Papatola asked how this request is different from the Village Pub. Ms. Rothstein 24 stated outdoor seating was allowed at Village Pub and not part of their CUP. In terms of design it 25 would be similar. This request is strict er than the Village Pub needs to adhere to. 26 27 Commissioner Bartel asked if the Village Pub is as close to residential. Ms. Rothstein stated 28 there was no CUP for that property. 29 30 Commissioner Kalar asked if there is a plan as to how it will be finished with fencing, etc. Ms. 31 Rothstein stated there will be a fence as alcohol served on the patio must be fenced in to prevent 32 people from walking down the street with their drinks. 33 34 Mr. Chris Christopherson, applicant, stated the immediate proposal for the patio is a concrete 35 slab or footings with decking. The decking would have a 40 inch railing. The concrete suggested 36 a concrete patio. They are still in the early stages and these decisions have not been met. 37 Chairperson Gondorchin asked about the noise level and what steps the owner would take in 38 reducing the noise. Mr. Christopherson stated up to and including closing the patio. They will 39 work together with the community to ensure noise will not be a problem. There would be 40 speakers with music that would be directed away from the residents and noise level reduced. 41 There would be no TV’s or additional lighting. The play area would include bean bag games 42 which would end by 10:00 p.m. 43 44 Chairperson Gondorchin closed the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. 45 46
