Session 1894 <br />August 18, 2003 <br /> <br />ITEM AGENGA #3 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RESTAURANT AT <br /> <br />6681 DELMAR <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff concurs with the Plan Commission that a dine-in and delivery <br />restaurant be permitted at this location specializing in cold sandwiches and <br />related items. Approval should be conditioned on a pledge to regularly police <br />adjacent sidewalk and parking areas for litter and debris, provision of adequate <br />trash and refuse containers and disposal, installation of an exhaust system as <br />needed to prevent any food prep odors perceptible beyond the building lines and <br />that hours of operation be limited to 6:00 a.m. - 1:30 a.m. With these conditions <br />all ordinance requirements will have been met. This is the type of use <br />contemplated for the University City Loop in our plans and ordinances. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman moved for approval of this permit. Mr. Sharpe seconded it. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe then indicated the owner wants the restaurant to remain open after <br />1:30 a.m. and students from Washington University had confirmed their support <br />for extended hours at a Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch affirmed adhering to stricter language requiring the proprietor "to <br />regularly police the site" to avoid adding to the litter problem in The Loop. <br /> <br />Chris Sedlak, proprietor, 13586 North West Industrial Drive, Bridgeton, Missouri, <br />requested permission to stay open beyond 1:30 a.m., until 3 a.m., to provide <br />delivery service only. He agreed to Ms. Welsch's request to police the site for <br />litter. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner asked for clarification about need for extended hours, asking if the <br />proposal was to close to customers at 1:30 a.m. and remain open only for <br />telephone orders. Mr. Sedlak said that it was. <br /> <br />Ms. Colquitt asked if the same procedure for after-hours orders and deliveries <br />occurred at his other restaurant locations. Mr. Sedlak responded that one of his <br />restaurants closes at 3 p.m., another in West County closes at midnight, and one <br />next to Saint Louis University closes at 4 a.m. His shops generate their best <br />business next to college campuses between midnight and 4 a.m. <br /> <br />Ms. Colquitt asked if this increased business occurred mainly on weekends? <br />Mr. Sedlak said he closed at midnight on Sundays and intended to do the same <br />in the Loop. Monday through Saturday openings until 4 a.m. result in consistent <br />business and Saturdays are not much different than Mondays in terms of <br />business generated. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
