GILOT JORDAN V. GATHERS MURRAY L. MILLER � �Spi3TH B.�O W rLncu 'a 1865 INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: April 12, 2023 TO: Kyle Ludlow, Engineering Department Gerard Ellis, Fire Department Chris Dressel, Community Investment Brad Rohrscheib, Police Department FROM: Theresa Heffner, Clerk SUBJECT: SIDEWALK CAFE RECOMMENDATION — Chicory Cafe of South Bend LOCATION: 105 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 cafes 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 protected bike lane. Sidewalk clearance is required between outdoor cafe structures, landscaping or other barriers and the curb or the closest edge of the separated bike lane. Maximum sidewalk wheelchair clearance is presumed to be at least five (5) feet (sixty (60) inches) consistent with Public Right -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). However, under limited circumstances, where strict compliance with the five (5) feet pedestrian sidewalk ADA access would prevent, substantially impair, or render unfeasible the existence of a viable sidewalk cafe, then the pedestrian ADA sidewalk access area may be reduced from five (5) feet but to no less than four (4) feet to allow for a sidewalk cafe. The request for a reduction of sidewalk width clearance will be approved only if it is determined to be non -detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the public, including persons with disabilities. The City's ADA Coordinator should be consulted where an exception is not clear or obvious. These requests must be reviewed in the context of all requests, or potential requests, for use of public sidewalk within the entire block. The request for a reduction of sidewalk width clearance may be approved only if it is determined to be non -detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the public, including persons with disabilities. Among the circumstances that may justify such departure from the prescribed five (5) feet access are the following: a. When a small vertical obstruction, such as a light pole, traffic control sign, planter or affixed street furniture reasonably prevents the continuation of five (5) feet clearance for a short distance of thirty (30) inches or less. If a distance greater than thirty (30) inches is sought, there must be consultation with the City's ADA Coordinator. b. In instances where there is limited sidewalk width (fifteen (15) feet or less) available and a separated protected bike lane is parallel to and on the same vertical plane, level with, or an extension of the sidewalk, with no vertical obstruction, then for a business purpose such as a sidewalk cafe, bike rack, or other similar purpose, a portion of the protected bike lane may be authorized for use to make up for the needed reduced sidewalk clearance width. The required clear pedestrian path of not less than four (4) feet may extend into the separated protected bike lane provided that a minimum of six (6) feet of that bike lane is preserved solely for bicycle use (constituting five (5) feet of bike path and a one -foot buffer between bikes and pedestrians). The applicant at its expense shall display the City's prescribed form of Shared Zone signage to alert users to the change in conditions. 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.
