The patio area would only be accessible from <br /> inside the restaurant. <br /> The kitchen and vestiUule additions have been incorporated into the existing building, eliininating the <br /> need for front and side yard setback variances, and the outdoor seating along Shoreline Drive has been <br /> eliminated. The set of doors along Shoreline Drive adjacent to the stage and dance floor area are <br /> proposed as emergency exit only doors, which should be�tted with alarnl system and panic hardware to <br /> avoid having them propped open. <br /> The applicant is also proposing to I;urn the h•ash enclosure located on the north end of the building parallel <br /> to the building for easier access. A gate would Ue placed on the front so as to screen the hash receptacles. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
