Study Session 1944 January 10, 2005 included to allow for future changes, if they do begin to serve cooked food. Ms. Welsch asked about the balance between retail and food establishements in the Loop and asked for staff advice about whether this current balance conforms to the views of previous Councils on this issue. She hopes this restaurant served frozen yoghurt as well as ice cream. Mr. Wagner asked if the parking requirements for this establishment are the same as for any other restaurant, and Mr. Ollendorff replied they are. He explained further there are very specific zoning requirements for a food service restaurant per number of seats in the restaurant and that this plan had to conform to these requirements. They actually had to reduce the number of seats to meet the requirements. Mr. Wagner asked how many seats, but Mr. Ollendorff did not recall. Ms. Brot asked if most of the customers would be walking if there could be more seats and was advised by Mayor Adams that required parking must still be observed. Ms. Brot asked where the parking would be located and Mr. Ollendorff said it was at the rear of the building on private property and along Loop South, which was made one way for increased parking. The motion passed unanimously.

Ms. Colquitt commented that she hopes the bridge will be colored all white. Ms. Welsch commented that she hopes the design of the bridge will not include a center support that blocks debris floating on the River Des Peres which has been a problem in the past. Mr. Wagner echoed Ms. Welsch's comment. The motion was approved unanimously. Mr. Ollendorff said two items were requested by the Council to vote on to add to the agenda. Page 9
