He cautioned Attorney Smith that the liar in this restaurant was purely ancillary. Councilwoman Monroe had no problem with a low -key type dancing, with one exception: more people would be occupying the building than the scenerio th,�t had been originally brought to the Council. She suggested cutting City Council Regular Meeting, 615186 Page 8 49 back on the office building space if this was their intention, to allow for more parking spaces. Attorney Smith asked the Council to give him some parameters in case some proprietor approached him with something outside of these it would have to be an amendment to the PUD. Councilman Kiselewski commented the way they have it now is very clear; but if they open It up it would not be very clear, as to how far the entertainment would extend. Councilman Martino asked the City Attorney to comment on restaurants as the primary source of revenue, with the bar being an ancillary use - then if a dance floor is put in these places and live entertainment is encouraged, this would change the restaurant situation which was approved. Attorney Rrent statcc+ the--y .gerc discussing dinner music and dancing while dinner was being served, and that it could be controlled. 40 Mr. Orr suggested allowing nightclub entertainment such as piano and violins. Vice-Mayor Feeney requested an aerial photo for this location be pro- vided the Council at the next meeting.
