QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
How many parking spaces are you losing?
We will be losing three spaces; parking will not be an issue. The lot is already
Î
over the required number of spaces to include future use for office commercial
brownstone.
The existing canvas enclosed patio does not look bad but this proposal looks really nice.
Speaking on behalf of the Brownstones HOA, we have no issues.
I love to see existing business grow and improve.
I would like to see the same detail that is on the existing façade added to the new
addition. It looks hidden in the picture.
What is the overall seat count?
We currently have 132 seats; the addition will bring that up to 166 seats.
Î
Will the new patio addition have a canvas cover and sides also, in case of bad weather?
Yes, we will likely have the canvas for the sides in case of bad weather, however,
Î
the patio will have a fixed roof.
What about the front window? Will it be s
It will be improved since the front in drive parking spots are proposed to be
Î
will likely have optional blinds and/or possibly smoke the glass.
The front addition looks flat on top. Will there be sky lights?
