. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 August 26, 1987 he had no objection to a carry-out restaurant as an interim use of the premises at 8600 Olive Boulevard. He stated that the Famous Brand Shoe development proposal could be a phased one; he did not believe that there would be any conflict with an interim carry-out restaurant use. Mr. Goldman showed Commission members the development proposal approved by the City Council. He explained that if the site were developed according to the Site Plan, it could affect the available parking and use of the carry-out space on the site. Ms. Schuman asked Mr. Judd to confirm that Nuz-Pudz, Inc. had received a business occupancy permit for 8600 Olive. Mr. Judd stated that his company had received an occupancy permit for a catering office, not for a carry-out restaurant. Ms. Kreishman asked if Nuz-Pudz was under contract with Amighetti's Bakery to sell its products at this site. Mr. Judd stated that they were contracted by Amighetti's Bakery, and not Anheuser-Busch, to sell prepackaged sandwichs and salads, chips and soda at the Olive Boulevard site; the food was quality-controlled by the Amighetti operation. Chairman McCauley called on Mr. Tage Howes, 1157 North McKnight Road. Mr. Howes wished to comment on the Conditional Use Permit application. Mr. Howes expressed his concern regarding a carry-out restaurant use at the 8600 Olive Boulevard location because of past experience with the Dairy Queen operation at the same location. He continued by saying that Dairy Queen had generated a lot of litter in the surrounding neighborhood as well as a lot of late-night foot traffic. Mr. McCauley asked Mr. Judd to respond to these concerns. Mr. Judd stated that he would hire a maintenance or small janitorial crew, and that he would establish a policy with his workers to police the area for litter. He also stated that the drivers for the catering service would be driving past the McKnight neighborhood and could monitor any potential litter problems. Mr. Kendall asked Mr. Judd about potential signage for the property. Mr. Judd stated that he proposed a window sign and perhaps an awning sign to advertise the business. Ms. Elwood stated that a current paper window sign was displayed at 8600 Olive, and that a permit had not been issued for the sign. The sign needs to be removed until a permit is issued. Mr. Adams asked what the proposed hours of operation would be for the business. Mr. Judd responded that the hours of operation were dictated by the Amighetti's supply; he would not be able to open before 10 a.m. and would not be able to supply any food after 6:30 p.m. Mr. Howes asked if Mr. Judd proposed to use the walk-up service window on the McKnight side of the building. Mr. Howes speculated that use of this window might encourage foot traffic and littering. Mr. Judd stated that he did not plan to use the walk-up window. Mr. Howes asked Commission members if they would consider requiring the applicant to police the McKnight neighborhood for litter as well as the area between the fence and Mayflower Court. Chairman McCauley asked Mr. Judd if he planned to serve food products other than those of Amighetti's. Mr. Judd stated that his operation was strictly licensed to sell Amighetti products only, he did not anticipate the need for a beer or liquor license. Ms. Kreishman asked about possible limitation of the carry-out use to an interim use. Mr. Goldman stated that the Commission and Council could restrict the Use Permit to a time limit after completion of the proposed work by Famous Brand Shoes approved by Site Plan Review No. 1172.
