TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a Public Walkways Occupancy Permit, with ground supported canopy, for sidewalk dining at The Federal Bar restaurant located at 102 Pine Avenue. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
The operator of The Federal Bar restaurant, located at 102 Pine Avenue, requests a permit to temporarily occupy part of the adjoining sidewalk for the purpose of sidewalk dining.

A clear path along the sidewalk adjacent to the permit area will vary from 7 feet, 6 inches, between the street tree and curb, and 9 feet, 6 inches, between the barricade and curb, as shown on page 3 of Exhibit A.
