City files indicate no CUP has ever been issued for a restaurant on this property. The use has <br />required a CUP in the B-1 zone since, at least 1967. Expansion of the facility into the former <br />Minnetonka Photo space and a 4' addition to the bathrooms now requires a conditional use permit. <br />Also, the B-1 district requires a commercial site plan review before a building permit can be issued. <br />Normally a commercial site plan review has not been required for minor interior space remodeling, <br />but this application involves expansion of the building envelope. <br />Mr. Anderst has requested approval to proceed with the interior remodeling and restroom addition, <br />which had been started. The restrooms are being expanded for handicapped accessibility. The <br />conditional use permit would permit live entertainment and expansion of the floor area. <br />Review of Conditional Use Permit <br />The Code requires approval of a conditional use permit for the expansion of the facility and live <br />entertainment within the building. <br />I.Site Plan Review <br />The interior site plan has been provided and is attached as Exhibit C. The tavern use would <br />be expanded into the former Photo Shop increasing the floor area by approximately 1,000 <br />square feet. The restroom are being located on the main level and are being expanded to <br />provide handicapped accessability. The site plan also indicates a stage that would be located <br />in the southeast side of the building for live bands. All use of the building would be within <br />the structure. <br />H <br />h <br />D <br />An outdoor seating area has been shown on the plans, but is not proposed to be built for <br />some time. The property owner has requested to discuss this as a future option with the <br />Planning Commission and Council. <br />if Parking <br />Recently the Council approved plans to iru-tall new lights in the Navarre parking lot. Most <br />of the parking for the Narrow's Saloon would use the Municipal lot located behind the <br />building. The commercial area around the parking lot is zoned commercial. It is estimated <br />a total of23,000 s.f. of retail is located within the commercial buildings adjacent to the lot. <br />The City Code requirement for retail and service is one space for 150 s.f of floor area. The <br />total parking spaces that would be required is 154. TTie parking area contains approximately <br />90 spaces. The Public Services Director has recently reviewed the parking in the Navarre <br />Lot and stated the parking lot appears to be functioning adequately. It would not be possible <br />to create new parking areas on the private property. Some limited parking is available along <br />Shoreline Drive. <br />The additional seating may cause added demand for parking around the site. The busiest <br />hours for The Narrow’s would be evenings on weekends when there would be little demand <br />for parking spaces in the lot. The applicant should comment on parking demand during the <br />lunch hour Monday thru Friday. <br />s2604 Sarro\¥S Saloon - Jamti Anderu <br />2580 Shorelint Dri\t <br />Site Plan Revitw and Conditional Use Permit <br />September 18. 2000 <br />pagt-2
