Bruce, when I posted the stop work order on Friday 9/6/13 I did not see any type of hood system.
Angie, see Bruce’s comment below
Will this be brought up at the ADLS Amendment petition that will be submitted to the Dept. soon?
What about the plan commission subcommittee for review?
I think the ordinance that Bruce may be referring to is
6-77 PUBLIC HEALTH NUISANCE (h)
Any use of property, substances or things within the City emitting or cause foul, offensive
noisome, nauseous, or disagreeable odors, effluvia or stenches extremely repulsive to the physical senses of ordinary
persons which annoy, discomfort, injure or inconvenience the health or any appreciable number of persons within the
City; or any slaughter house;
thank you,

Hey guys,
Is there a Type 1 hood in this place currently? I ask that because of the comment below about the need to add a grease
trap. We can’t comment w/o knowing what is in place and their desired use etc.
Will the smoke from the outside smoker be an issue at all with neighbor’s?
They (Big Hoffa’s) inquired with us some time ago about putting a place at 106th and College. I didn’t have an issue with
the outdoor BBQ, but I told them they better check with planning/zoning. IF Popeye’s can’t have their name written in
gravel, can someone put a huge smoker just outside of the art and design district?
The City Center building has spent a ton of $ to keep the smell of the food contained , will they want the same for this
location? Just some questions that come to mind, but without plans we can’t comment.
Thanks guys, have a great Tuesday

Good afternoon, everyone -
As you know, Big Hoffa’s barbeque joint is coming to 220 E. Main St, in old town Carmel. This was the old Helio’s tea
room place.
An ADLS Amendment petition will be submitted very soon and our Dept. will review this item or it will be sent to the
plan commission subcommittee for review/approval on Oct. 1. They want to expand their parking area, add a smoker
and outdoor cooler, change out the existing sign face, powerwash the building exterior, add a deck to the front (with
outdoor seating), etc. They have also removed a few trees already and want to add in some additional landscaping.
Just wanted to give you a heads up now, to give you time to get me some review comments, please. … Some other
questions are if they need to install a grease trap or not, and if they need to do a change of use (CDR)… is that with the
State or with the Fire Dept.?
The contact info for Big Hoffa’s is Mr. Adam Hoffman: 776-2444 and adambhoffman@hotamil.com

According to what we know, this is a change of use and a state CDR will be needed.
Also the fire dept. will need a scale set of plans in order to make any comments.
