Minutes - Plan commis~ Page 5 May 27, 1987 . 3145 South Grand Avenue, planned to expand its retail operation to 6318 Delmar Boulevard. Martha Parmley, his wife, explained that they would sell packaged foods, grocery items and deli items and have an expresso bar on the premises. The sale of deli items and the expresso bar required that they apply for the Conditional Use Permit for a carry-out restaurant as defined in the Zoning Code. The Parmleys indicated that they had received encouragement from other merchants in the Loop area to locate their retail operation there. They stated that another restaurant had received Site Plan Approval by the City Council at the same location but had never commenced business. Chairman Hamilton asked Mr. Goldman to comment on the application. Mr. Goldman stated that the first condition he proposed was with respect to new paving and striping of the parking lot area to the rear of the building. This task had been completed and could therefore be omitted. He stated that any requirement for a restaurant use would be submission of a suitable refuse disposal plan. He also suggested that, other than beverages, carry-out items should be limited to those prepared off premises. The Parmleys agreed that these conditions could easily be met. The Parmleys reviewed some of the interior and exterior physical changes that would be required by their occupancy. Mr. McCauley expressed his concern regarding cooking on the premises; if the Parmleys were successful and wished to prepare food on the premises, the Commission should be concerned about efforts to control aromas or odors in the neighborhood to the south. He suggested that an additional condition be: "No food preparation on the premises should produce odors readily perceptible beyond the lot line." Mr. Kendall inquired how the Parmleys control odors at their Grand Avenue location. Mrs. Parmley responded that there are many restaurants in the Grand Avenue area, all of which have appropriate fans and exhaust systems for the kitchens. After further discussion Mr. Kendall moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Parmley's application for the Conditional Use Permit subject to the fOllowing conditions: 1. A suitable refuse disposal plan must be submitted to and approved by the Director of Public Works. 2. Other than beverages, carry-out items shall be limited to items that are prepared off premises. 3. There shall be no food preparation on the premises which produces odors which are readily perceptible at any point at or beyond the lot line of the property on which the use is located. Mr. Washington seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. REQUEST TO REZONE FIVE PROPERTIES ON NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD FROM "SR" TO "PD" BY MR. TOM SOMMERS Sarah Elwood informed Commission members that Mr. Sommers had requested that this agenda item be withdrawn.
