MS-3121 Narrows Salooii Expaaiioa October 6,2005 Pa|c5 Interior Use Expansion. The proposal expands the current restaurant/bar area into the westerly two additional spaces within the building. This interior expansion measures approximately 40* x 50* or 2,000 s.f. of floor area. This expansion consists of a 20* X 50* expansion of the existing restaurant/bar area with a wall separating an additional 20* x 50* private party room addition. The proposed private party room include a new bar area. Conditional use permit approval is required for all new restaurant space. The total interior space devoted to the restaurant use (public floor area) will increase from 2,174 s.f. to 3,698 s.f.. The applicant*s architect has summarized the Building Code parameters for the expansion on the right hand side of Sheet A1. Based on that analysis, the building will have an occupant load of 265 persons and can be designed to meet Building Code and Fire Code standards. Outdoor Seating The applicants have eliminated outdoor seating along Shoreline Drive from the proposal, and have reduced the proposed outdoor seating area in the rear from 1,292 s.f. (60 seats) to 837 s.f. (32 seats). The plan shows four 4-seat tables, one round 6 person table and two 5-person high top tables. A waitress station and water fountain are proposed. The proposed method of enclosure of the outdoor patio area is a wood fence approximately 5-6 feet in height, to the immediate outside of a landscape berm feature with arborvitae on top for screening. The outdoor seating or ‘patio* area will be accessible only from inside the restaurant, via 2 doorways, at the SE and SW comers of the patio. A third entrance at the west comer of the building is a service door for access to the basement storage area. A proposed gate leading to the luurow open “walkway** between the building and the hardware store is proposed, although use of this walkway for other than an emergency exit is questionable. The need for an additional emergency exit not going into the building, will be assessed by the Fire Marshal, but could easily be accomplished through the easterly fenceline. The zoning ordinaiKe does not contain specific standards for outdoor restaurant seating. Plaiuiing Commission concluded that the proposed outdoor seating area (which is seasonal by nature) should be limited as follows: • Limited to 837 s.f. and no more than 32 seats, as proposed No seating or alcohol to be allowed in outside area after 10:00 p.m. Sunday thru Thursday evenings, 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings (open to smoking only after those hours).
