INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: TO: July 9, 2021 Matt Longfellow, Engineering Department Gerard Ellis, Fire Department Chris Dressel, Community Investment Brad Rohrscheib, Police Department FROM: Anne Fuchs, Clerk SUBJECT: LOCATION: SIDEWALK CAFÉ RECOMMENDATION – SPIRITED Business Address - 105 E. Jefferson Blvd. #100 Café Location Address - 130 S. Michigan St. 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 that our City ADA Coordinator allows the 4 foot walkway, rather than hold them to the standard 5 foot walkway. Engineering would recommend they try to maintain 5 feet clearance regardless. COMMUNITY INVESTMENT : Favorable recommendation provided there is minimum clearance from barriers per ordinance. FIRE: Favorable
