. . September 23,1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #309 - CARRY-OUT RESTAURANT. 7811 OLIVE Chairperson Kreishman informed those present that the Plan Commission had scheduled the public hearing on an application from Hau Chiusheryl and Steve Chu for Conditional Use Permit #309 for 7811 Olive in order to permit a carry-out restaurant. The Chairperson outlined the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing conditional use permits and called for testimony from the applicant. The applicant, Mr. Steve Chu appeared and was represented by Ken Yeung, 820 Heberton, St. Louis, MO 63141. Mr. Yeung stated that the business would be strictly carry-out, serving standard chinese menu items. The hours would be from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and closed Sunday. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Hill to report on the staff review. Mr. Hill stated that the Chus submitted an application for Conditional Use No. 309 in order to allow a carry-out restaurant. The site is appropriate for the proposed use. The parking is as good as can be found for the older existing buildings on Olive Boulevard. The application will satisfactorily address all of the approval criteria, if the standard conditions of use are made part of the conditional use permit. The Planning Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1) Signs must conform in all respects with the provisions of the University City Sign Code. 2) The operator of the restaurant shall regularly police the site and the area adjacent to the restaurant to remove litter and debris. 3) Trash containers for patron use shall be available on the premises at all times. 4) Adequate refuse disposal shall be provided by and for the business. 5) An exhaust system shall be installed and/or other means shall be taken to prevent any food preparation odors or cooking odors from being perceptible beyond the lot lines of the property on which the restaurant is located. 6) The containers for refuse shall be located behind the building on the premises but need not be otherwise screened. 7) Exterior parking lot lighting shall be shaded wherever necessary to avoid casting direct light upon any residential property. Ms. Kreishman asked if the members of the Plan Commission had questions for either the staff or the applicant. Ms. Ratner asked if the applicant would object to a condition limiting the hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The applicant stated that he would agree to that. Mr. Kendall asked what other uses were in the complex. Commission members and the staff stated that University City Chiropractic Centre occupies 7801, The Martin Garage Door Company occupies 7805 and Big Dollar Savers, a retail store occupies 7807. Mr. Foxworth asked what type of air ventilation system would be installed. The applicant did not have that information at this time. m-9-23.plc
