Department: Public Works  

AGENDA CAPTION:
Consider Approval Of A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into A License Agreement With TN Management, LLC, For The Use Of A Portion Of The Public Sidewalk Within The Public Right-Of-Way Adjacent To The Astoria Caffe, Located At 15701 Quorum Drive, On The Corner Of Morris Avenue And Quorum Drive, For An Outdoor Dining Area.
BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the City Council adopted a policy regarding the private use of the sidewalk within the public Right-of-Way in Addison Circle. This was intended to allow restaurants to utilize the sidewalk to expand their outdoor seating areas. The policy established that the City Council would consider approval of a license agreement for such uses based on the following:
  • License agreements will only be considered for areas where the remaining sidewalk width would meet or exceed 5 feet in width.
  • License agreements will not be considered for areas within 8 feet of a street lane designated for through traffic or within 2 feet of any on-street parking.
  • License agreements will be considered based on the unique site conditions that may exist in a particular location such as, but not limited to, access to and placement of ADA required accessible pathways, pedestrian traffic volumes, impact on adjacent uses and interference with the natural flow of pedestrian traffic.
  • License agreements shall include indemnity and other provisions necessary in order to adequately protect the Town as determined by staff and the City Attorney.
  • The Town will charge a minimum fee of $500.00 per year for the duration of the agreement.
Astoria Caffe and Wine Bar, located at 15701 Quorum Drive, has requested permission to use a portion of the public right-of-way to accommodate their patio. The area consists of approximately 210 square feet. The Special Use Permit for this expansion will be considered as part of a separate item on this Council agenda. Staff has reviewed the request and found it to be in compliance with the requirements listed above. The license agreement document is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
Administration recommends approval.
