OLD BUSINESS
Update on City-owned Janesville Road Property and RFP (Request for Proposal)
Executive Director Muenkel informed the commissioners that the RFP was sent out to over 400
developers and brokers. He has had discussion with a few developers and is optimistic that the
CDA will be fielding a few proposals for the property.
NEW BUSINESS
Approval of an Amended Building, Site, and Operation Plan for Tres Locos to construct a deck and
concrete patio located in Redevelopment District #2 (Tax Key No. 2193.069 / W172 S7505 Lannon
Drive).
Executive Director Muenkel discussed that Tres Locos Restaurant is looking to amend their current
Building, Site, and Operation Plan (BSO) to now include an outdoor deck for a waiting area and an
outdoor patio dining area on the south side of the current structure. The BSO would also include
increased parking. Other amenities would include a stamped concrete patio, decorative railing
enclosure, and added landscaping. The landscaping would be included on the property to the
south (currently Marathon Gas) with the owner’s permission. Director Muenkel discussed that Plan
Commission has reviewed the proposal and deferred the item at their last meeting to have any
input that CDA may have. Plan Commission gave their preliminary approval along with the
following contingencies:
CDA Minutes June 13, 2005 - page 2
The City Forester must approve a formal landscape plan.
The deck be at least 7.5 feet from the south property line.
A parking diagram be delivered to the Planning Department showing the size and location of the
new and current parking stalls and the 3-foot offset for vehicle parking along the southern property
line
That the proposed ornamental fence be delivered and approved by the Planning Department
before installation.
The deck utilizes quality materials, matching the general layout of the current structure.
Written approval from the adjoining property owner to include landscaping on the Marathon Gas
site.
Any approvals needed from the Clerk-Treasurer Department for licensing on the new outdoor
portions of the property.
That the outdoor deck and patio can only include items associated with the outdoor dining use and
that the area is clear when the outdoor dining is not needed (winter, etc.).
The outdoor dining area should not become unsightly and Plan Commission will review the site
within one year from Plan Commission approval
That the outdoor dining area be closed at 11 p.m. each evening and that music be kept to a
minimum as to not disturb the adjoining neighbors.
Ald. Salentine wondered if the neighbor is okay with the landscaping to be installed on their
property. Bobby Hinners, petitioner for Tres Locos, discussed that they haven’t been in contact
with the neighbor, but the landscaping is just for added aesthetics and may not be needed if
Marathon Gas’s remodel is of good quality. Questions also arose on how the proposed garbage
enclosure for Marathon Gas would affect the outdoor dining. Director Muenkel discussed that staff
would work with Marathon Gas to get the refuse enclosure to the west side of the property out of
view of the outdoor dining area. Commissioner Miles questioned whether patrons would have to
come in to get served alcohol and Mr. Hinners said yes. Commissioner Glazier was curious if the
elevation of the patio/deck would be visible to Janesville Road. Mr. Hinners talked about how the
gas station was a bit higher in topography then his property and that the deck would be visible,
although the patrons dining would not see much of the right-of-way. Commissioner Link expressed
how small the patio area is and wondered if it was by design. Mr.Hinners exclaimed that it is by
design and the area can fit about 7-8 tables, which is the threshold of their current kitchen.
Commissioner Miles questioned the 11 p.m. closing time listed in the supplement. Director
Muenkel pointed out that Plan Commission wanted to make sure the closing time was 11 p.m. so
as not to negatively affect neighbors. Ald. Salentine discussed that the Finance Committee
approved the 11 p.m. closing time at their June 8, 2005 meeting and that any live music would
need a dance permit although general music would just have to be kept at a minimum as to not
disturb neighbors. Commissioner Link recommended increasing the size of the outdoor dining if
possible so a business owner isn’t self-limiting. Commissioner Lidbury arrived at 6:16 p.m. and
discussed that he has no issues with the proposal. Commissioner Link moved to accept the
amended BSO for Tres Locos with the proposed changes as outlined in the supplement
seeing that the proposal meets the guidelines found in the Redevelopment District #2 Plan
giving increased character to the area and it continues to promote a community identity.
Ald. Salentine seconded. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously.
