Is there a a lease for the restaurant?
Robertson: We’re drafting one to resolve the issues and have provided the draft to the restaurant’s attorney. It should be signed well before the 45 day time limit the city has discussed.
Dewey: “Without that lease, there is no settlement … so why are you here before us before you have that lease?”
Robertson: Tried to get it finished, but there wasn’t fine.
Dewey: “Why would take it under consideration if you haven’t worked out all the details of the settlement?”
Robertson: The details are worked out.
Dewey: He’d feel better if they were signed, sealed and delivered.
Robertson: If the council approves the settlement, we’ll have it in short order.
Jim Wood: If we approve this, can we take up parking issues later, or is it part and parcel of this agreement? Could we leave homeowners to work it out and take the issue up if they fail?
The city’s attorney (I don’t know this one): If BeachWalk is telling employees to use public parking, that might be an issue–he can’t say off the top of his head.
Greg Kisela: As long as the restaurant sticks to the terms of the agreement in terms of parking and valet parking, they meet the rules. It may be offensive to have the staff use public parking, but they’re not the only business who does that. “I don’t want anyone thinking we may have some enforcement power … it’s first-come, first served.” Might be able to set a two-hour time limit or something.
Jim Wood: But we can do that separately from this agreement? Kisela: Yes.
