AGENDA TITLE: Request for an Encroachment Permit for Sidewalk Seating at Hazel's Restaurant at
22 South School Street
MEETING DATE: May 3, 1995
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss and take appropriate action to approve. the issuance of
an encroachment permit for sidewalk seating at Hazel's Restaurant to be located at
22 South School Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed plans for Hazel's Restaurant to be located at
22 South School Street include an outdoor sidewalk seating area along the
Oak Street frontage. The outdoor dining area will be separated from
pedestrian traffic by a decorative railing. The plans indicate that the seating
area will extend 9 feet from the face of the building, leaving a clearance of 7 feet between the railing and the face
of curb. There are currently two tree wells at the back of curb along this frontage which are not shown on the
plans. The westerly tree well is empty and has been bricked in. The easterly tree well contains a tree
approximately 12 feet tall. Copies of the plans showing the seating area (with existing tree wells added) and the
railing detail are attached. The plans indicate that the design of the intermediate rail pattern is to be determined by
the owner. The owners shall be notified, with a copy of this communication, to be prepared to present the rail
pattern design to Council at the May 3 meeting.
Based on the seating area dimensions shown on the plans and field measurements made by staff, the
unobstructed width of the sidewalk at the tree wells will be only 3.15 feet. This is less than the usual requirement
for 5 feet of unobstructed width, but is in compliance with ADA regulations. We recommend that the existing tree
remain and this anomaly be addressed as part of the revitalization project for the downtown area.
We understand that the owners wish to serve alcoholic beverages in the sidewalk seating area. This practice is
currently prohibited by the Lodi Municipal Code. The City Attorney has prepared an amendment to the current
Code setting forth conditions to allow the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the public right-of-way.
This amendment is also set for Council consideration on May 3. If Council approves the Code amendment, the
encroachment permit would be issued subject to the conditions of the Code amendment as well as the previously
established conditions listed below.
• Encroachment shall be limited to the sidewalk right-of-way along the Oak Street frontage at
22 South School Street.
Encroachment shall not obstruct store entry or impede traveling public.
• Permittee shall maintain right-of-way in a clean and neat manner.
• All work within the right-of-way shall be to the ap val oftheublic Works Department.
