'!he applicant, Mr. Roderick Bell, 7375 Tulane, was asked to c:ane fozward. Mrs. '!honpson expressed concern about requiring the bal:becue to be prepared elsewhere, however, Mr. Bell said he am his wife submitted this plan them- selves. He said he was fully aware of am agreed to all corxlitions with the exception of the closing time, which they would like exten::led by one hour on both weekdays am weekerxls. In response to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Bell said this will be a cany-out restaurant, am the bal:becuing will be done at his other restaurant in st. louis. Mrs. 'lhompson said she did not agree with all the corxlitions am thought that the bal:becue should be prepared on the premises, not elsewhere. Ms. Monica stewart, 1066 Pennsylvania, said she lived near the proPOSed res- taurant am was speakin:] for many of her neighbors who are opposed to this business. 'll1.e neighbors believe the building is too small for the purpose, the hours of operation are too long, it will be too noisy, am transporting food is unsanitary. She said the work that has been done so far is of poor quality am her neighbors were concerned that the building will continue to be an eyesore. Mayor Majerus said the business will not operate until all conditions are met am the work is done to the city's satisfaction, so neigh- bors need not be concerned. Mr. Schoomer said he had ext.rene resel:Vations about this site being used for a restaurant because he felt adjacent residents might be bothered by traffic entering and exitirq the property until late hours, since there is no barrier of any kind between the lot and adjacent homes. He felt this was an excel- lent proposal but he would like to see it in another location. Mrs. Schuman also was concerned about traffic entering am exitirq Pennsylva- nia, in addition to parking that may cx:x::ur on the north en::l of the lot. She noted that the Plan Commission is not requiring a fence or additional land- scaping at the northern end of the lot am she felt this may be a problem for adjacent residents.
