Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 10, 2010 Page 2 of 12 Resolution No. 14, Series 2010 – A resolution recommending approval  of a special review use (SRU) request to allow for outside patio dining at LuckyPie. 637 Front Street; Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 Block 4, Town of Louisville. Case No. 10-010-UR.  Applicant and Representative: LuckyPie, LLC (Brendan McManus)  Owner: City of Louisville  Case Manager: Sean McCartney, Principal Planner Public Notice Certification: Published in the Camera on May 23, 2010. Posted in City Hall, the Library, the Recreation Center, the Police and Courts Building and mailed to surrounding property owners on May 21, 2010. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: None heard. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney reviewed the application with the following discussion points:  A special review use (SRU) request to create outdoor patio seating for the LuckyPie Pizza Restaurant at 637 Front St.  The eating area is proposed for the front of the building on the east facing façade and would be approximately 1,548 square feet in area.  The building was built in 1960 and purchased by the City of Louisville in 2008 and has remained vacant since its acquisition.  The Pine Street access is to remain as an “in-only” one-way access. The Front Street access can remain as a two-way access.  The fenced area on the west side of the property and next to the alley will be available for overflow parking, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.  The proposed patio would result in the removal of five (5) parking spaces (including the handicapped space) that are currently located near the entrance of the building. Removal of these spaces allows for 16 remaining spaces (outside the fenced area). Therefore there is sufficient parking remaining.  A 3-foot high powder coated metal fence is proposed to be installed along the perimeter of the patio.  Landscaping will not change.  Staff recommends the placement of potted planting areas to be placed within the patio area.  Downcast lighting throughout the patio area is proposed.  Staff requires the lighting be turned off at 12 A.M. McCartney continued with a review of the special review criteria. He stated the application meets all five (5) criteria. Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 14, Series 2010 with the following conditions: 1. Pine Street access shall remain as an “in-only” one-way access.
