RES 2009-0598 - Amend approval for sidewalk cafe at Kurt & Clyde's to instead include beer garden O OTAAHA,ryF� RECEIVE Law Department a Omaha/Douglas Civic Center 1��'f 'I�� `� 1819 Famam Street,Suite 804 o 09 JU�� -2 AM i0� l 'i Omaha,Nebraska 68183-0804 °oA Omaha, (402)444-5115 4TFo FESR‘r CITY C L Ew F c Telefax(402)444-5125 City of Omaha O M A H A, N E B R L S K A Paul D.Kratz Mike Fahey,Mayor City Attorney Honorable President and Members of the City Council, The attached Resolution is prepared at the request of the City Clerk. The Resolution amends an approval previously granted by this Council to a liquor licensee. ANS, Inc, dba"Kurt&Clyde's"at 2202 South 13th Street,previously applied for approval of a sidewalk café on the sidewalk outside its business. After that approval was granted,the licensee determined that the area would not qualify as a sidewalk café because food would not be served outside. The licensee has asked that the area, instead, be identified as a beer garden. In addition, the Resolution recommends that the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission waive the fence required at a beer garden and,instead,allow the area to be surrounded with the fence required at a sidewalk café. A beer garden generally must have a fence tall enough and solid enough to prevent alcohol from being passed through or over the fence. A sidewalk café may have a railing or similar low border that just outlines the licensed area. The Commission may approve this change in the fencing when it is requested by the City Council. In similar situations where the outdoor area is on a sidewalk several waivers have been requested and granted in Omaha due to problems a tall fence on a sidewalk creates for pedestrian safety and esthetics.

The building's interior layout is designed for economy, function, flexibility. The aesthetics are remnant of Old Market architecture and will feature open ceilings with exposed large steel & wooden beams,tongue& groove roof decking& old original outlooks & skylights. As illustrated in the Exhibit"A", interior layout provides for excellent efficiency of space, safe ingress and egress, and flexible building space layout. The Cumming Street Corridor and Saddle Creek Re-alignment Corridor should contribute to the long range sustainability for an office/warehouse building with the features offered by the Omar Baking Company Building. Our surveys of need and available space'in the midtown area indicate a void in the supply side of affordable and functional office space with off-street parking and secure, managed storage space. The employee and employer base is high on the service side with a healthy contingent support of retail and moderate-priced housing. Both Creighton and UNMC medical centers generate opportunities for employment and for off-site use and support services. The general demographics of the Midtown area are progressive in its vision and have a stable base for healthy growth. As for the Omar Baking Company Building it is positioned in a strategic location between the two medical centers and just off Cuming Street, a corridor which has great promise as a primary connector and arterial from Midtown area to the `Node', Creighton and Qwest Center Omaha. Along with location, the other key components that make the Omar Building an attractive target for business and non-profits to locate or re-locate is the combination of economy, easy access, function and working environment.
