--- Session 1539, Minutes April 1, 1991 Page 6 for property use, and the delivery vehicles could negatively impact the sur- rounding neighborhood. If Council decides approval is warranted, it may wish to add other restrictive covenants such as requiring the delivery vehicle to be plainly marked for identification purposes, and allCMing only one delivery vehicle at anyone time within the block where the restaurant is located. The applicant, Mr. Shawn Jacobs, 520 Melville, said delivery service will be provided by Room Service, a University city finn with radio-dispatched cars, which means at anyone time there will be few delivery vehicles on Melville or Delmar. He said cars will pull in behind the building to pick up orders, then exit the alley only to the left, which should ease traffic congestion. Responding to Mrs. Schuman, Mr. Jacobs said the radio-dispatching feature should prevent cars being parked waiting for orders. He was cognizant of the traffic congestion in this area and did not want to make it worse. He said if the traffic delivery pattern does not work smoothly, it will be changed. Mr. Ollendorff asked if Council objected to requiring the delivery vehicles to be marked; otherwise, the city could not study the situation. Mr. Jacobs said the cars are already marked since they serve 12 other restaurants in University City. In response to the Mayor, Mr. Jacobs said he was aware of all the concH tions and would comply with them. Mrs. Schtnnan asked if Mr. Jacobs was willing to set aside parking space be- hind the building. He said delivery cars will pull in behind the present parking spaces to pick up orders, and will not block the alley. Mr. Schoomer moved approval with all conditions, and Mr. Price seconded the IlDtion. All agreed that the conditions will include that the delivery vehi- cles are plainly marked. All voted Aye, except Counci1member Wagner, who voted Nay. crARIFICATION Mr. Ollendorff said he understood residents were present who wanted to com- ment on an application to uwrade the liquor license for the market at Fergu- son and Plymouth. He said his office has not yet received this application, but noted that past Council policy has consistently opposed the sale of alco- holic beverages stronger than beer at neighborhood stores.
