Design Review Board

Level 1: Minor alteration of an existing building/structure
Level 1: Sign

9-C-08-DT

This proposal is for a modification to a previously approved awning, ADA ramp and sidewalk deck as part of a façade renovation. The awning will be black and be made of canvas. The awning will span the width of the façade (28 feet) and extend 8.5 feet from the facade. There will be four support posts for the awning made of aluminum. The restaurant name will be on the valence and sides of the awning. The name will be 5 inches tall by 19.75 inches wide in each location for a total of 2.07 square feet. The previously approved wall sign will not be used as part of this plan.

The proposed outside seating deck will extend 8 feet from the front façade of the building, which will leave a 4 foot clearance with the tree well. From the right side of the building, the decking will start approximately 1.5 feet from the building edge and will extend to the left side of the building until it fades into the sidewalk, under the new window to the left of the new entry. The decking will be made of wood and will be removable. The previously approved plans had a concrete ADA ramp with a separate removable wood deck seating area, these plans have one consistent deck that incorporates the necessary ADA ramp.

The railing for the deck will be made of 1 inch by 1 inch aluminum tubing and will be covered with the same black canvas as the awning.

Staff Comments
In regard to the deck and awning extending 8 feet in to the sidewalk, the guidelines require a minimum 5 foot pedestrian passage (Section 1.A.1d). The plan shows there is a 4 foot clearance to the planting well and approximately a clearance of 6 feet to the tree. The sidewalk in front of the building is 17.5 feet wide.
