October 22, 1997 Plan Commission Minutes Page 2 Chairperson called upon the applicant. Ken Yeung, Broker Associate, G.R.I., Re/max, 14323 S. Outer Forty Rd., Chesterfield, MO 63017 stated that he represents the restaurant owner, Kevin Luu of Hon’s Wok, 4430 Cambridge Walk Ct., St. Louis, MO 63044. Mr. Luu currently operates two restaurants in the area and formerly operated a restaurant named the Canton Café in the Loop at 6600 Delmar. Mr. Yeung gave an overview of the proposal. Chairperson Solodar called on Planning Director, Al Goldman to provide the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that the proposed restaurant is to be located in the easternmost store space in the new Schnucks University City Square shopping complex. The floor plan shows dining space for 40 patrons. Ample parking is provided on the site to accommodate the 13 parking spaces required by the zoning code. If appropriate conditions are attached regarding refuse container areas, litter control and odor control, the proposed conditional use will meet the standards for approval. He finds that the proposed conditional use will meet the standards for approval as set out in the Zoning Code, Section 34-56 if the conditional use is limited by the conditions listed below. Accordingly, he recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1) The operator of the restaurant shall regularly police the site and the area adjacent to the restaurant to remove litter and debris. 2) Trash containers for patron use shall be available on the premises at all times. 3) Adequate refuse disposal shall be provided by and for the business. The refuse containers and surroundings shall be maintained in a clean condition. 4) An exhaust system shall be installed and/or other means shall be taken to prevent any food preparations odors or cooking odors from being perceptible beyond the lot lines of the property on which the restaurant is located. The exhaust system shall be maintained in a clean condition by regular scheduled cleaning of the system. Chairperson Solodar opened the public hearing and asked for testimony from the public. Mr. Solodar read aloud a letter submitted from Fred Beckmann, no address given, who dropped said letter off at the zoning office just prior to the meeting. Said letter was put in the case file. No members of the public indicated a desire to speak, so the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission supports the conclusion that the proposed conditional use: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) At the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) Complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) Will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in the Zoning Code. Mr. Price moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. The operator of the restaurant shall regularly police the site and the area adjacent to the restaurant to remove litter and debris. m-10-22.plc
