Background/Discussion
In 2011, the City Council established the process to lease city right-of-way for the purpose of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverage and/or food consumption.
In 2012, six businesses in the 100 block of West Broadway were granted leases for outdoor dining. One additional business was granted a lease in 2013. Currently, six businesses have leases for outdoor dining.
This current request was received from Maloney’s Irish Pub, 162 West Broadway with an intended use of alcohol consumption. The property is owned by Maloney Real Estate, LLC.
The request is for the outdoor dining area to be adjacent to the curb, similar to the other areas within the block. The area proposed was one of the original six sites approved in 2012 and does not require modifications to any existing structures.
The proposed dining area is 23 feet by 10.5 feet. The lease would allow a maximum of 7 tables and 22 chairs.
The area is in the historic district which requires the use of fencing and furniture meeting standards previously approved by the Historic Preservation Commission and the City Council.
No objections to granting the lease have been received from any City departments or Utility providers.
The five year lease agreement provides for payment to the City of $1,000.00 per year.
The City will re-install the fencing used when the area was first approved for outdoor dining in 2012. The business will provide the furniture.
