8/5/96
The owner of the White Star Cafe addressed the City
Council disputing the Staff report in which it states
that this restaurant has a seating capacity of 82; she
states it has approximately 48 seats. The owner
presented several documents for the City Council's review
which she said supports her claim that additional seating
capacity was authorized under Ordinance Z -1 -93, as
petitioned by the owner of the shopping center, Norwood
Builders.
Director of Community Development D'Onofrio stated that
Ordinance Z -1 -93 granted a variation to permit 10 parking
spaces instead of the required 14. The 14 space
requirement was based on a seating capacity of 32, and
three employees.
The owner of the White Star Cafe stated that this was not
her understanding of the matter and does not feel the
penalty of $2,000 is warranted.
Attorney for the owner of the shopping center, Barry
Collins, addressed the City Council and reviewed his
client's request on behalf of the owner of the White Star
Cafe to permit an increase of 50 seats in an existing 32
seat restaurant, that in turn would require 25 parking
spaces instead of the ten (10) which are provided.
Director of Community Development D'Onofrio stated that
the Staff was not opposed to the request, but recommends,
as does the Des Plaines Zoning Board of Appeals, that a
penalty be assessed in that the owner of the White Star
Cafe has already installed the additional seats and now
is requesting the variation.
Moved by Arredia, seconded by Elstner, to concur with
recommendation of Committee of the Whole held July 15,
1996, re Zoning Case 96 -22 -V, to grant request for
Variation to permit an increase of 50 seats in an
existing 32 -seat restaurant, that in turn would require
25 parking spaces instead of the ten (10) which are
provided, on property located at 623 -627 N. Wolf Road,
a /k /a/ 615 -699 N. Wolf Road, and a penalty of $2,000 be
assessed to the restaurant owner for installing the
additional 50 seats without a variation, which violates
Section 6 of Ordinance Z -1 -93, that allowed a maximum of
32 seats, not the current 82 seats; and place on First
Reading Ordinance Z- 11 -96, AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A
VARIATION TO SECTION 9.1.7.2.2.11.1 OF THE CITY OF DES
PLAINES ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT THE OPERATION OF A
CLASS A RESTAURANT WITH TEN (10) PARKING SPACES INSTEAD
OF THE REQUIRED 25 SPACES, FOR THE PROPERTY COMMONLY
KNOWN AS 623 -627 NORTH WOLF ROAD (CASE NO. 96- 22 -V).
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Chiropolos, to adopt a
substitute motion, re Zoning Case, 96 -22 -V, to grant
request for Variation to permit an increase of 50 seats
in an existing 32 -seat restaurant, that in turn would
require 25 parking spaces instead of the ten (10) which
are provided, on property located at 623 -627 N. Wolf
