RE: Sidewalk Café – Chicory Cafe
Dear Mr. Morauski:
At its June 8, 2021 meeting, the Board of Public Works approved your establishment’s
Sidewalk Café Permit application for the hours of operation you provided subject to proper ADA
clearance from obstructions. Please be reminded that businesses are required to adhere to the
provisions of their Sidewalk Café Agreement. A copy is enclosed for your records.
Please also be reminded that although the new application lasts for two (2) years from
the date of approval, the City requires businesses to provide an updated Certificate of Insurance
annually. We ask that you kindly mark your calendar with a reminder regarding this matter and
provide us with the appropriate information one (1) year from now.
If you have any further questions, please call this office at (574) 235-9251. We wish you
a happy, safe, successful season.
Sincerely,
/s/ Anne Fuchs

SIDEWALK CAFÉ RECOMMENDATION –
Chicory Cafe
105 E. Jefferson Blvd. Suite 103
PLEASE INSERT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE APPROPRIATE FIELD BELOW,
BASED ON THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE CRITERIA (Sec. 18-15):
1. The sidewalk cafe conforms to all regulations of the City and of all laws affecting the use
and maintenance of such business.
2. Outdoor cafés and seating areas shall be so located as to maintain maximum sidewalk
width and clearance for wheelchair accessibility which shall exclude that portion of a
sidewalk reserved as a "separated bike lane." Sidewalk clearance of at least five (5) feet
(sixty (60) inches) is required between outdoor café seating structures, landscaping or
other barriers and the curb or the closest edge of the separated bike lane. The Public
Right-Of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) shall be followed if more restrictive.
3. The sidewalk cafe is not detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the public,
including persons with disabilities.
4. The sidewalk cafe does not interfere with pedestrians or persons traveling along the
sidewalk.
PUBLIC WORKS: Sketch isn’t very clear, however based on last year if they maintain
minimum 5 feet from all ADA ramp edges and keep the primary walkway in front of the
business clear, then it is acceptable.
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT : Favorable recommendation provided there is minimum
clearance from barriers per ordinance.
FIRE: Favorable
POLICE: Favorable Recommendation
