RE: Sidewalk Café – 702 E. Jefferson Blvd.
Dear Mr. Todd:
At its September 28, 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 and adherence to the City Engineering
recommendations. Please work with the City’s Engineering department to finalize your sidewalk
café layout.
Businesses are required to adhere to the provisions of their Sidewalk Café Agreement. A
copy is enclosed for your records.
Please 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 – SB Cellar, LLC
702 E. Jefferson Blvd.
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: No objections pending they maintain a minimum 4 feet from the sloped
portion of the ADA ramp at corner of Jefferson & St. Louis. Based on the design, they
would only need to move the north end down (to south) 1-2 feet to maintain that distance.
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT: Favorable recommendation provided there is minimum
clearance from barriers per ordinance.
FIRE: Favorable
POLICE: Favorable recommendation
