#OS-3121 Narrows S11oon Expansion s M�rch 8,2006 � Page 2 4 Summary of Revisions The proposal has been significautly revised since Council's October review. The revisions are both in the physical layout of the building and site, and in how the business will be operated. Please carefiilly review �ahibits A and B, the building/site plan and the narrative from applicant's attorney. The revisions can be briefly summarized as follows: 1. Tables, waitress station and other amenities are removed from the rear outside area. The only remaining features will be an 827 s.f. patio enclosed by a 6' fence and arbor vitae plantings on a low berm. Stated intent is to have no restaur�nt or bar service to this patio area. Easterly door to patio changed to standard swinging with closer, rather th�tn bi-fold. 2. Kitchen expansion near the stage and d�ice floor is formally proposed, no longer just an option. 3. Wall along west side of bar will be solid, providing niore of a barrier between new restaurant expansion area and the saloon area. Pool tables now proposed to remain in existing location rather than moved into new expansion area. 4. Trash enclosure re-oriented for fiuictionality. Parking Impacts Please review the parking impacts discussion in the October 6 staff ineino as well as that in the applicant's newly submitted materials. In the original plans reviewed in June 2005, applicant's architect calculated a parking need of 72 stalls based on the code requirements, to serve the expansion plus front and rear outdoor seating. Due to complete elimination of the outdoor restaurant/bar seating, combined with expansion of the kitchen into eaisting interior space, applicant's architect now indicates a parking need of 46 stalls by code. Comparatively, the study by Benshoof on the applicant's behalf suggested that without the outdoor seating, the increase in peak parking demaud will be lowered from 1.87 times the current demand, to 1.62 times the cui•rent demand. Applicant's attorney suggests that with removal of the outdoor seating, the peak overall demand by all users during the busiest times will still leave 17% olthe parking lot unused. Please also review applicaut's aitorney's comments regarding impact on fiiture business uses of the parkin�lot. Pl�nning Commission Recommendation Plamiing Commission has not reviewed this ctu�rent proposal. However, please recall th�t Plamiing Conlmission on September 19, 2005 on a vote of 7-0 recommended �pproval of a CUP for expansion of the Saloon per the second revised site plan dated Septeinber 7, 2005, subject to 5 specific conditions:
