PUD for 305 E Johnson to become Restaurant with Liquor License
This one likely sounds familiar, as this is the second time this project is going through the planning process. It's item number 26 on the Council Agenda. Public hearings start at 6:45 and all other items wait until after the public hearing end. This item, unfortunately, is after the Midvale Plaza project, which is likely to be controversial.
Here's the Neighborhood Association Comments on this project:
FROM JAMES MADISON PARK DISTRICT DATE: JUNE 22, 2006
141 N. Hancock St.
Madison, WI 53703
RE: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY ON 305 E. JOHNSON ST.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Representatives from the James Madison Park District met with Messrs. Navin Jarugumilli owner and Mark Schmidt of Knapp Schmidt Architects on June 6, 2006 regarding the proposed conversion of the property on 305 E. Johnson St. into a restaurant on the first floor with renovated apartments on the second and third floors. James Madison Park District has been asked to provide a letter of support for this proposal.
On June 13, 2006 a meeting was called for members of the JMPD to further discuss the project proposal. In general, the group believes that the plan makes appropriate and good use of the site and expects that the new business and the renovations to the existing building will be an asset to the neighborhood.
We can offer our support of this proposal if it proceeds in good faith, sensitive to the needs of the neighborhood and the concerns of the JMPD and can satisfy the following conditions.
· That the restaurant be open from 6:30 am to 11 pm only and that both food and drinks will be served only during those hours. We understand that alcoholic beverages will be among the drinks offered.
· That the restaurant be vented upright to guarantee the maximum removal of cooking odors from the vicinity.
· That any outdoor seating be located only in the front of the building and not in the rear.
· That the architectural design and execution retain the historical aspect and appearance of the present building.
We wish the developers good luck in achieving success in their enterprise and welcome them as contributors to the improvement of our neighborhood.

Hey, if the food they cook is actually, you know, tasty, I'd actually prefer that they allow the smells to fill the neighborhood. Thought that might be a form of unfair advertising or some such, and those of us who live nearby may start getting fat after a while.
And if the sound levels are low, I don't see why they have to close at 11pm.
