Council Minutes of 11-04-2009 constructed on the side of the restaurant closest to Brookpazk Road. The patio structure will be closed off with a black aluminum decorative fence to limit access from inside the restaurant. The area between the restaurant and the patio structure will be an outdoor patio area. Few changes will be made to the existing building. The stucco will be repainted the same color, and all brick and trim colors will be the same. The lamp post, window trim and door frames will be painted a dark bronze and a black stripe added along the top of the building to match the black in the awnings. The canopies will be black with a copper pinstripe. The patio addition will consume six existing parking spaces. Despite the loss of parking for the addition, the entire site contains sufficient parking based upon a variance previously granted to the entire mall development of four and a half spaces per one thousand squaze feet. The occupant load for the building will also remain the same. Site improvements are mainly related to improving landscaping and the condition of the pavement. There had been significant cracks and holes in the parking field, particularly in the area to the northwest of the building. The applicant will patch and crack seal the deteriorated areas. The applicant proposed to restore the landscape islands to that which was originally approved. The Commission requested new landscape plantings in each of the three pazkng lot islands, as well as the installation of a bike rack. The applicant does require some variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals for number, height and area of wall signs. The opening date will be sometime in January of 2010. A motion was made by Councilman Barker to approve CMS09-11 Harry Buffalo located at 2824 Great Northern Boulevard pursuant to all recommendations of the Planning and Design Commission as well as the addition of the bike rack, and the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Jones. The committee voted 3-0 to approve this project.

The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Jones and passed unanimously. CMS09-11 Harry Buffalo approved. Councilwoman Jones, Chairwoman of the Streets and Transportation Committee: The Streets and Transportation Committee met on October 27, 2009 at 8:05 p.m. Present were all of Council, committee members Jones, Kearney, and Mahoney; and also the Service and Safety Directors. The Streets and Transportation Committee met to discuss the snow removal plan for this winter. Traditionally, the meeting was held when the winter was over. This time, she and the Service Director thought it might be a good idea to meet beforehand. Mr. Limpert provided Council with a packet of information that will be very helpful for Council this upcoming winter as far as being able to respond to resident's questions regarding the snow removal. The packet included information regarding the type of snow removal vehicles, the salt routes, the salting policy of the city, the bombardier sidewalk routes, and the snow plow sections of the city. Council certainly appreciates the Service Director putting the packets together. Also discussed was the call list of employees who are also able to operate snow removal vehicles, especially when heaviest snow times happen on a Friday night or a weekend. Thank you again to the Service Director. 4 ~_n~, ~ _ _ ~- -6~
