MUNICIPAL ORDER 20-04 RDDDP – JOHN SINGLER, ATTORNEY
6221 DUTCHMANS LANE
City Attorney John Singler summarized MO 20-04 allowing the development and operation of a restaurant named Jaggers at 6221 Dutchmans Lane. After consulting with Jack Ruf, St. Matthews Planning and Zoning Officer, the radius mandated was changed from 10-feet to a 15-foot radius. Wheel stops were requested adjacent to the landscaping. It is clearly stated in binding element #10 that any future signs must comply with St. Matthews Code. Binding element #11 requires the developer to include a new sidewalk westward along the northern side of the access drive. Additionally, the developer shall establish a crosswalk connecting the new sidewalk to the proposed sidewalk in the front of this building. Binding element #12 will require the developer to obtain release or other modification of a 20-foot buffer easement along Dutchmans Lane and all binding elements must be communicated to tenants, purchasers, contractors, subcontractors and other parties engaged in the development of the site. Mayor Tonini added the property that formerly operated as Texas Roadhouse will likely become a strip-mall. Councilmember Monohan asked for clarification on the sideway plan. Councilmember Nay inquired if the landscape plan would abide by and maintain parkway standards set forth by the City of St. Matthews. Jack Ruf assured Councilmember Nay the landscaping plan will be reviewed, and standards will be met. Brandon Goldberg, representing Jaggers, explained the restaurant will have a brick veneer, metal siding and 25-foot maximum height level. The dumpster will be enclosed. The restaurant will serve hamburgers, chicken and fresh salads prepared daily. Councilmember Monohan made a motion to accept MO 20-04. The motion was seconded by Councilmembers Weiter and Holland.
