Posted in City Hall, the Library, the Recreation Center, the Police and Courts Building and mailed to surrounding property owners on April 23, 2010. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: None heard. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney summarized the application request with the following information:  A request for a special review use (SRU) to allow an outside patio dining area at the southeast corner of the property located at 701 Main Street.  701 Main Street is located at the northwest corner of Main and Pine Street (formerly known as Waveform Automotive).  The original building was constructed in 1956 and has been used as a gas station and an automotive repair shop.  Eight (8) parking spaces are required for the site based on the 3,315 SF building.  Parking will be restricted to the rear (west site) of the building.  Staff recommends the applicant place a dust free surface on the parking area and stripe for eight (8) spaces.  The property is currently accessed off Pine Street and Main Street, as well as an alley on the west side.  An additional curb cut is located on the Pine Street side and has been used by the automotive repair shop for moving cars in and out of the shop area.  Staff recommends the curb cut be removed and replaced with a standard sidewalk.  The applicant is proposing to continue to use the Main Street access for one-way vehicular traffic to the north and rear of the property. A properly signed access point would be good for circulation as well as emergency access.  Staff recommends the one-way access from Main Street be allowed.  A 48” high metal fence is proposed around the entire patio area.  There is a site vision clearance area requirement of 30’ x 30’ on the southeast corner of the property and is illustrated on the SRU plan.  Staff recommends no portion of the patio be permitted in the site vision area so no future table placement or temporary banners create a conflict with the area.  There will be no landscape changes with the proposed application.  The applicant is proposing downcast lighting only in the patio area.
