The applicant has proposed outdoor seating areas in the rear of <br /> both the saloon and restaurant adjacent to the City-owned parking lot. While the City Code <br /> doesn't specifically address outdoor seating as a conditional use, both proposed outdoor <br /> seating areas can be considered as an expansion of the defined restaurant uses as they will <br /> both offer additional seating for food service. However, the outdoor seating will be <br /> seasonal in nature and weather dependent; it potentially has different impacts than the <br /> interior seating. The size of the seating area based on the revised survey is about 600 s.f. <br /> for the restaurant, which would likely have the capacity for 30-36 patrons, and about 550 <br /> s.f. for the saloon, which would have a capacity of perhaps 24-30 patrons. <br /> The outdoor dining areas would each incorporate a 4'-5' fence and arbor vitae screening to <br /> provide separation from the dumpster and parking area and to control patron movement. <br /> Applicant's stated intent is to only allow access to the seating areas from within the <br /> establishment they adjoin. <br /> Exhibits F & I of the 10/17 memo and the recently submitted landscape plan showing arbor <br /> vitae plantings depict two distinctly different aesthetic visualizations of the border of the <br /> outdoor seating areas. Council should ask applicant to define which concept he actually <br /> expects to create. <br /> Planning Commission did not have an issue regarding the dumpster enclosure location. <br /> Staff would suggest it needs to be separated from the west lot line at least a few feet to <br /> allow adequate access for accumulated trash removal. The general orientation of the <br /> dumpster appears to be logical to allow a garbage truck to back toward it from the north. <br /> C. Interior Layout and Function. The new restaurant will be in the same building that houses <br /> the Narrows Saloon. Please review Exhibits I and J of the 10/17 PC memo, which depict <br /> the proposed floor plan layout. The new restaurant use will not be directly accessible from <br /> the Saloon but will share the rear entry and restroom facilities. The westerly two spaces in <br /> which the new use is proposed are approximately 40' x 50' in total, or 2,000 s.f. of floor <br /> area (4,000 s.f. including the basement level). This new proposed restaurant includes a <br /> dining area with bar and kitchen on the main floor, with a second bar and additional seating <br /> in the basement. These spaces will be separated from the portions of building occupied by <br /> the Narrows Saloon by an eacisting wall. An additional hallway will be created on the main <br /> floor to allow access from both businesses to the restrooms. <br /> The total interior space devoted to the restaurant use (public floor area) as roughly <br /> calculated by staff will be approximately 1,500 s.f. on the main floor and 1,250 s.f. on the <br /> basement level, for a total of 2,750 s.f. Storage and non-public spaces (kitchen, bar, prep <br /> areas, etc.) will total approximately 1,250 s.£ The exterior public space in the restaurant <br /> seating area depicted on the survey is approximately 600 s.f., with the patio area adjacent to <br /> the saloon being approximately 550 s.f. <br /> The applicant's interior plan depicts a conceptual seating layout far the new restaurant with <br /> approximately 80 patrons capacity on the main floor including the exterior seating, and 36 <br /> patrons on the lower floor. <br />
