Mr. Levine stated that City staff had been <br />worked with regarding the location of the cafe and it had <br />been placed in its previous location because of the <br />increased slope of the mall in front of the Hardware Store <br />Restaurant. <br /> <br /> Mr. Leonard Milgram, owner of the Milgram Building <br />which is located next door to the Hardware Store <br />Restaurant, stated that he had done extensive improvements <br />to his building which is blocked when the Hardware Store's <br />outdoor cafe is operating. Mr. Milgram stated that he did <br />not feel it was fair for the outdoor cafe to be placed in <br />its previous location. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Gleason noted that Council had previously <br />limited outdoor cafes to one per block and requested that <br />staff explore whether it would be possible to move the <br />outdoor cafe east of its previous location. <br /> <br /> Mr. Milgram recommended that a subcommittee be <br />appointed which could work on a solution to the problem. <br /> <br /> Mr. Levine stated that the restaurant is anxious to <br />open the cafe and would prefer that action be taken as <br />soon as possible. <br /> <br /> Mr. Barnes stated that he would also be interested in <br />staff investigating options before Council takes action. <br /> <br /> The resolution was deferred until the special meeting <br />scheduled for April 15th. <br /> <br /> <br />
