Mayor Barker: Apparently our code doesn’t cover any requirements for activities on the patio/deck. This could become a bigger issue in the future–we might need to change the code at some later point.
Dewey: Great restaurant, don’t want to force them out of business, still concerned about parking. “It would behoove us to put this off until they get their lease agreement done–that would give the restaurant time to scout around and find some parking they could hire, even though the code doesn’t require that.” Moves to table until the lease is worked out (attorney Jerry Miller says it’s a motion to continue, actually).
Chef Creehan: “We don’t see any reason that wouldn’t be signed, probably this week.” Deck is down to 85 seats, we’ve moved our office operations to another location, we’re doing our best to comply and make everything work. If the neighbors were really outraged, wouldn’t they be showing up to complain?
“We are just one small group of a lot of people doing services on the beach that use those parking spaces.”
4-3 to continue with Trammell, Wood and Seevers voting against, Destin, Weidenhamer, Windes and Bagby voting yes.
