Many years ago, when Igot's asked for a proximity waiver from the Planning and Zoning Board, they also asked for permission to install bar stools along the Lake Avenue side of their business. I remember the board reacting with a loud and clear "no" and I believe that the prohibition of bar stools made it in to the final motion. I also recall the board having a concern about the establishment serving patrons directly through the open window(s). We also were concerned about people walking, with drinks in hand, back and forth across K Street.

Is this the next place for these things? |
It is my understanding that staff is aware of this recent development and that concern has been expressed by others. They are working on resolving the problem.
We seem to be veering towards a culture where it is easier to ask forgiveness than for permission. What do you think? Is this a big deal and the city should make them remove them or should we just let it happen?
