Chairperson Kreishman asked Al Goldman, Director of Planning, to present the staff report on the application. Mr. Goldman stated that the restaurant Ms. Harris proposed to open at 8107 Olive was the same one which she had proposed to open at the Westover Center. with proposed hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., it is anticipated that her menu would include breakfast items as well. provision should be made for preventing odors from frying and other food preparation beyond the property lines. Ms. Harris had revealed no plans to serve liquor at this restaurant. The limited seating area shown on the proposed floor plan would require a minimum of seven (7) parking spaces provided on site. The parking spaces depicted on the plan submitted with the application did not meet the requirements of section 34-50 of the Zoning Code and had not been well thought out. The parking layout needs to be changed to ensure adequate parking stall size, aisle width and proper vehicular circulation. The planter areas depicted on the plan should be landscaped to their fullest potential by deepening them another ten (10) feet. This would provide appropriate planting areas for small trees and low shrubs as desired in the Master Plan for Olive Boulevard. The restaurant operator should take care to patrol the property and surrounding area to prevent litter accumulation from paper food packages and cups from the restaurant. Finally, obsolete sign frames should be removed in anticipation of new, conforming signage to be proposed for the restaurant. The Chairperson asked if Commission members had any questions for Planning staff or the applicant's representative. Mr. Kendall asked if the applicant had reviewed the proposed conditions herself and had indicated her agreement with them. Sarah Elwood, Zoning Administrator, stated that she had met with the applicant that same day and that she understood the proposed conditions and had agreed to complete the required work before opening the restaurant. Mr. Kendall also noted that there did not appear to be much area for parking on the site and confirmed with Planning staff that the minimum required parking could be accommodated on site. Chairperson Kreishman and Mr. Safe asked if closing the Hafner entrances might maximize parking and improve circulation on the site. Planning staff replied that this was a possibility; however, an accurate parking plan would still have to be submitted. Mr. Safe asked for clarification of how many seats and booths there would be in the restaurant. Chairperson Kreishman stated that 3 booths and 2 more tables with benches and chairs were proposed on the floor plan. Mr. Collins asked Mr. Carradine why Ms. Harris had decided not to locate the restaurant at Westover. Mr. Carradine replied that he did not know all the reasons for her decision.
