BACKGROUND In the past, the City has leased the patio within the Square Gardens to two restaurants including Hog City and Sodie's. This arrangement was beneficial to both parties. Former tenants provided some improvements to make the small patio space more usable. The City has made no investment in the patio area which is under utilized by the public. A new tenant, The Urban Table LLC, is requesting to lease the patio area from the City to provide an outdoor dining area for their restaurant. Urban Table is a full-service, casual dining restaurant which will feature classic and new American fare (Eg. steaks, seafood, burgers, salads and sandwiches). It will be open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week. There will also be a sports -style bar and grill located downstairs that will open mid-aftemoons. Urban Table will open in early August. Attached is a site plan of the patio area designated with the diagonal lines. DISCUSSION The proposed lease includes the following: 1. Term of the lease is two (2) years, with a three (3) percent increase in rent for an additional period of two (2) years if agreeable by both parties. 2. Annual rental rate is $2,400 payable in advanced monthly installments of $200. 3. The leased patio is to be used only as an outdoor dining area and for no other purpose without the written consent of the City. 4. Only live non -amplified music is permitted which can not be loud enough to disturb persons enjoying the Square Gardens. 5. The City reserves the right to close the patio area for renovation to the Square Gardens as deemed necessary. 6. Either party may terminate the lease by providing written notice not less than sixty (60) days before the date of termination. Staff views the lease of the small 1,676 square feet patio that is not currently being utilized by the public, as an enhancement and promotion of citizens, as well as visitors, to utilize our Town Square. In addition, it will provide an outdoor dining experience for citizens to enjoy the beautiful Square Gardens. BUDGET IMPACT The City would receive $200 per month or $2,400 annually for leasing this patio. Attachments: Lease Agreement (3) Patio Layout RESOLUTION NO.
