Anderst noted the basement would require a lift in order to be <br />ADA compliant. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked whether the residents located to the rear of the parking lot were provided notice of the <br />application. Landgraver stated with the addition of the outdoor seating areas for both the saloon and <br />restaurant, the noise may be an issue for those residents. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated there are approximately four residents that were notified to the north and west of the <br />parking lot. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked what the hours of operation for the steak house would be. <br /> <br />Anderst stated he is anticipating closing earlier during the week and then staying open the same hours as <br />the Narrows Saloon on the weekends. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked whether he is planning to be open for lunch. <br /> <br />Anderst indicated it would be primarily opened during the evenings and that he is considering offering <br />breakfast and lunch on the weekends. Anderst stated at this time the restaurant would not open until 3:00 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she is attempting to gain some understanding of the parking demands during the busier <br />times of the day. <br /> <br />McGrann asked if he finds the saloon at 50 percent capacity during the lunchtime hours currently or <br />another percentage. <br /> <br />Anderst stated he would estimate the capacity to be approximately 20 percent. <br /> <br />Lemke asked whether there would be any music out on the patio. <br /> <br />Anderst stated there would not be live entertainment out on the patio areas but that they might have some <br />speakers located on the ground in the bushes playing very soft background music. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if deliveries to the saloon and restaurant would still come through the alleyway. <br /> <br />Anderst indicated they would and that there is still ample room for trucks with the expansion. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if the deliveries would be made through the vestibule. <br /> <br />Anderst illustrated on the overhead how the deliveries would be made. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated there appears to be a discrepancy between the survey and the sketch as it relates to the <br />fence. Gaffron asked if the intent is to keep that doorway open. <br /> <br />Anderst stated it is. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 11/18/2013 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 10/21/2013 <br />[Page 6 of 42]
