Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit for sidewalk dining at Starling Diner restaurant, located at 4114 East 3rd Street.  (District 3)
Councilman Austin. Pushing case. Thank you, adam. 14, please. Item 14 is a report from Public Works Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a public walkways occupancy permit for sidewalk dining at Sterling Diner Restaurant located at 411 fourth is third street district three. Thank you again to Councilman Price. Thank you. I recommend my colleagues support this item. This is. I know normally we don't have patio dining permits on. We don't take them out of consent. But this is one where the community was very involved and it's at the request of the community that we've pulled the item. So I imagine they would like to come and speak to it. I'm not sure. But I will say that we've worked very closely with the community on coming up with the particular design for this patio dining area. I believe the architect is also here. The business, the community and our public works department have worked very closely to address the concerns in this for this particular location, because it's located within close proximity to a lot of homes. Have also talked with the business owner who has been very receptive in terms of making some operational improvements that will continue to enhance the relationships between the business and the community with this expansion into the patio dining area. So with that, I'd recommend approval by my council colleagues. Thank you. Is there any public comment here? Yes. Very quickly. My name is Maureen Neely. I'm the president of the Belmont Heights Community Association. And I'd just like to state that we really appreciate the opportunity that the councilwoman prices allowed us to have a public opportunity to speak. Fortunately, I think we've covered all of the the bumps and areas that could have been controversial. And we're at the point where we've got a design we can live with. And like the councilwoman said, she's also committed to working with the operator to make sure all of the other smaller bumps about having an operation and right inside a neighborhood next door to residences is as painless as possible. So thanks again and appreciate the opportunity to speak. I don't see the architect here, but the design looks pretty good, so. Oh, hey, Nathan. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. Fantastic. And I love to see the see some images at some point. Sounds like a great project. Members, please cast your vote.
