The site is located at 220 2nd St. SW in Frank Hawkins Addition Lot 1.The site is zoned B-2 and is within the Old Town Overlay, Character Sub Area. Filed by Ben Bemis of CEC Inc. on behalf of Kevin Paul, owner. Petitioner: Dave Coots Kevin Paul,owner, Dan Moriarty with Studio M(architect),and Sean Jones with CEC Engineering are present. From the Public Hearing at the Plan Commission on August 16th there were a couple of items that we were asked to submit information to the Committee in advance of this meeting: 1. Calculation of restroom number requirements and what the site contains. Pursuant to the IBC Plumbing Fixture Table,a night club/bar/tavern is required to have one seat per 40 patrons,male or female.The addition that we are building is designed to accommodate 120 seats,which would calculate out to 3 facilities. As you can see from the submitted site plan,we exceed that requirement in that we have 3 male and 3 female WC for a total of 6,with 2 lavatories for each restroom for a total of 4. We exceed the standard for those facilities. 2. Roof design over entry way and screening request for the HVAC equipment that is roof mounted toward the rear of the building. This will be presented by Dan Moriarty. Dan Modality: We added a gable over the back restroom and have a gable coming down as well,and added screening for some existing mechanical condensers for the coolers. We have a spot for the HVAC for this addition. We also made the entrance a bit deeper. We made a consistent 5-ft setback. We added a screen wall at the entrance over service window and have the entrance there and moved that out a bit more.There is more room in the center vestibule where everybody comes together. (Alan)The coolers that you showed on the rooftop,are they hidden?They are there now?(Kevin Paul)They are not hidden yet. We had talked to the neighbors,and I think the plan was to put a screen or some type of parapet that they would not be able to see from their back yard. Rachel and Dan decided to put the mechanicals in the 1 Commercial Committee Meeting Minutes 9-6-22 middle of the two buildings on the rooftop,this covers it from the neighborhood.You can probably still see it from the top of the Railyard,but we have to put them somewhere. Alan—I understand that, I just wondered from street view, looking at that what that would look like. Kevin Paul—I think they hid them pretty well. Dan—You have the gable blocking from this way and a fence on the other side. Jeff Hill—What kind of fencing is it? Dan—Probably a wood shadow box fence,I think.You really won't see them. Rachel—What color?Black?Gray? Kevin Paul—Technically it is that industrial bronze. Alan—Basically it is the same thing as what is on the ground? Dan—Yes. Department Report: Rachel Keesling They went over the items needing to be changed. The building was shrunk a bit to get to the 5-ft setback on the west and the north,meeting requirements now.Added a slopped roof which was a requirement of the Old Town Overlay,the Character Sub Area,the cutout for the mechanical is ok as long as it is fully screened on all four sides,adding back the fencing materials is what we needed to do to cover that up. When you look at it from 2°a Street as you go east you should not be able to see any HVAC equipment,you might see the fence that screens it, but you won't see the actual units,which goes along what they agreed to do with the existing coolers for the neighbors' view to be better. It will all look cohesive now.The change to the interior walkway where the new main entrance will be in between the two buildings is great. It is a great idea to hide the kitchen area a bit more and make it separate from the new entrance. Dave Coots went over the bathroom numbers,they meet and exceed the requirements for the number of stalls. The other item was the lot coverage. They have submitted a variance request for this. They are requesting 80%when 70%is allowed by the Old Town Overlay. That is a variance,as explained at the public hearing,that we knew they would need because we are asking them to fill in all the green space that they had in order to help with the noise for the neighbors around them. It will be heard on the 26th of September on the Hearing Officer's Calendar.This is the only variance that they need now,achieving the Zoning change helped them immensely to be compliant with what has already been constructed. They have addressed all the big concerns. Only thing left to do is finish review through ProjectDox,the need to respond to the comments and submit that back to us. We are satisfied and recommend this goes back to the full Plan Commission on September 20th with a favorable recommendation. Committee Comments: Alan Potasnik From the public hearing,have all items been met?Rachel-yes. It has been mentioned there is no additional signage sought. Is this in writing,you don't plan on adding any signs? Is there a commitment?Rachel—No.Dave Coots- We have not applied or included any additional signage.I imagine they may want to do something to identify the new building when the addition is completed. It could be adding an additional sign or moving the existing sign to a better location.Rachel-they would be allowed to change the signage as long as it still meets the ordinance. Kevin Paul-we are not currently asking for any new signage. We may have to move the one from the SE corner to the middle or north corner. But we are allowed one on each side.Alan—I just wanted to clarify.No new lighting?Kevin Paul—There will be safety lights per exit, but we will submit when it's time.Rachel-Required egress lighting which is simple.Alan—Rachel when you mention remaining concern,the majority of the Planning concerns have been met?Rachel—At the time of writing this report it was the screening of the HVAC that I knew they were going to do, but had not seen yet.This is why I used those words. Kevin Rider How are you getting the food from the kitchen to new dining?Kevin Paul—We have extended the front vestibule,we have a feature wall and then there will be a service door behind that.Kevin R.—Do you have to go all the way around the bar to get to it?Kevin Paul—No. The original kitchen door was there when it was Bub's, 2 Commercial Committee Minutes 9-6-22 it was an external door that we put a window there,we are going to put the door back. Kevin R.- I was just looking for accessibility.Kevin Paul-There is going to be a service station behind that wall so when you come in you will see the feature wall and will be easier to serve both sides.Rachel- it's been expanded as well, it's larger than the previous one. A Motion made by Jeff Hill and seconded by Dubbie Buckler to send Docket No. PZ-2022-00118 DP/ADLS: The GOAT back to the full Plan Commission with a positive recommendation. Approved 4-0.
