2 informed by the Public Works Department that, by the end of April, 2017, the tree wells will be relocated to the front of the sidewalk (against the curb) in accordance with City streetscape standards. The applicant proposes to construct a +/- 304 square foot vinyl canopy (19 feet 2 inches wide x 16 feet long) attached to and extending 16 feet from the east facing front of the building, towards the sidewalk. The purpose of the canopy appears to be to provide shade to a proposed outdoor dining area in front of the existing restaurant, along Brentwood Boulevard. The canopy will cover an aluminum frame which will be supported by five steel legs bolted to the concrete patio. The canopy structure will be 10 feet 7 inches tall at its highest point and will taper down towards the sidewalk where it will be 7 feet tall. For comparison, umbrellas used in outdoor dining areas typically range between 8 and 10 feet tall. Director Istenes noted that the site is unique because the outdoor dining area is located on private property. The color of the canopy is not specified in the application; but the proposed design and materials of the canopy are of high quality and it is constructed of material which is consistent with the existing canopies and staff recommends approval with the condition that the canopy color match that of the existing canopies.

Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if this canopy is only on the east side.

Mr. Teitelbaum replied “yes”.

Hearing no further questions or comments, Scott Wilson made a motion to approve per staff recommendations. The motion was seconded by Ron Reim and unanimously approved by the Board.
