Site Plan Requirements  The applicant must submit a (signed and sealed) site plan prepared

 by a registered architect, engineer, or surveyor showing:

 

- the side of the applicant’s property which is next to the sidewalk, and the side of the properties on each side which are adjacent to the sidewalk, along with all adjacent streets, curbs, and intersections within 25 feet.

 

- locations and sizes for all proposed furnishings such as tables, chairs, trash containers, umbrellas, awnings, planters, other landscaping, and lighting, and for the five foot clear public thoroughfare.

 

- locations for all existing utility poles, street lights, street and traffic signs, fire hydrants, mail boxes, trees, planters, etc.

 

- the architect’s, engineer’s or surveyor’s name, address and phone number.

 

Staff Review  Upon submission, and prior to a public hearing, the site plan shall be submitted to the City Engineer’s Office and the Zoning Administrator’s Office for review, and the recommendations of each office shall be presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.  Any alteration to the sidewalk or other physical improvements must have the approval of the City Engineer or it will not be considered by the Planning Commission.

 

Clear Public thoroughfare  The proprietor must maintain a clear path at all times for pedestrian traffic to pass by.  The proprietor shall be responsible for furnishings moved by patrons, or for items placed in the clear public thoroughfare by patrons, including bicycles, wheeled carts of any sort, and other items.  The path must be at least five feet wide and remain totally unobstructed.  (The top of the curb may be included if it is flush and level with the sidewalk.)  Any driveway crossing the sidewalk must be kept clear.

 

Setbacks  All activities and furnishings must be located at least 25 feet away from an intersection, measured from the curb, and must be between the side property lines of the applicant.  (Activities and furnishings may not be within 2 feet of the curb.)

 

Hours of Operation  A sidewalk café may not be operated between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.  All fixtures shall be removed from the sidewalk when the café is not in operation.

 

Season  Sidewalk cafes shall not be operated when the Police Department has placed the

Winter Parking Ban in effect.  No furnishings may remain on the sidewalk during this period.

 

Lighting  If installed, lighting shall be designed, installed, and operated to keep all direct light from adjacent properties and from the street.  It shall be of low intensity to prevent glare.

 

Furnishings  The design of the furniture and colors should complement the district’s theme.  The furniture should be of good quality and be weatherproof.  The furnishings must be removable (temporary).

 

Noise  The café shall be operated so that no noise generated by the business or it’s patrons can be heard from a distance of 50 feet from the area of operation.

 

Lease for City Property  After the granting of a conditional use permit by the Planning Commission, and before beginning operation, the applicant shall execute a lease with the City of Marquette for use of the public sidewalk.  All provisions of this ordinance and any conditions attached to the permit shall become terms of the lease.  Additional lease terms may include a hold harmless clause, requirements for liability insurance(s), rent requirements, provision for inspection by the City, and other terms deemed necessary by staff and the City Commission.
