COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Bill mentioned that Kathryn KOch, City clerk iS not an advocate of alfresco
dining in the center of the mall. Bill suggested someone contact Denver to
find out if it is possible at all to expand, How can the CCLC be pro-active
to get this accomplished.
Andrew said he is going to Denver and he will try to set up an appointed to
discuss the issues with the liquor authority.
Jon said he is opposed to the proposal. The enforcement is an issue. Mall
leases traditionally have been abused.
Eric said he is in favor of the alfresco dining. Extending service to a non-
contiguous area may have some issues to discuss. He also stated that the
fence does have some control.
Andrew said the malls need to be reconfigured so that one side of the street
has the ability to expand outside dining. The Hyman mall could be
expanded. In South Beach they have planters at each end fbr control.
Jon said we are being optimistic about the mall expansion since the DEPP
project has never been finished. People watching is part of the mall
experience and the only way to do that is utilize the seating that exists.
Andrew said New York pizza would be a good area for outside seating.
