CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve aright-of--way use permit to allow a canvas and
aluminum frame awning to extend above the sidewalk and over a
restaurant's walk-up (no drive-through) carryout window, for
property at 1447 Mayport Road
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP

DATE: August 18, 2003
BACKGROUND: The subject property is a retail space within the former Dagher Printing
Building located at the northeast corner of Donner Road and Mayport Road. (This building is
being renovated as part of the former "Fred's Saloon" property.) The applicant wishes to install a
canvas awning on an aluminum frame over a window located on the Mayport Road side of the
building to provide walk-up carryout service for his restaurant (the Hot Dog Hut.) Aright-of-
way use permit is required since the awning extends over a small portion of the public sidewalk.
The proposed awning continues the design theme that wraps around the Donner Road side of the
building. Staff finds that the request is consistent with redevelopment objectives for Mayport
Road, particularly the desire to increase appropriate retail and pedestrian activity along Mayport
Road. The Commission should consider .whether the increased activity will create any
obstruction to use of the sidewalk.
RECOMMENDATION: Consider aright-of--way use permit to allow a canvas and
aluminum frame awning to extend above the sidewalk and over a restaurant's walk-up
carryout window, for property located at 1447 Mayport Road.
BUDGET: No budget issues.

Hot Dog Hut
I O Donner Rd.
Atlantic Beach
Dear City Council Members:
My name is Bay De Marco. I am in the process of opening a take out hot dog sandwich
shop at 10 Donner Rd. I would like to put an awning up to cover the take-out window on
Mayport Road. This would provide protection against rain for my customers while they.
are waiting for their orders. Prior to my leasing of the building, there was a metal awning
above this window. I am just replacing that awning with a higher quality awning. I also
feel the new awning wi13 add beauty to the frontage ofthe building.
I thought the city property line started at the sidewalk. The awning only extends thirty
inches from the wall of the building which is approximately two feet from the sidewalk.
Also, the awning starts seven feet above the ground so as not to obstruct anyone wallcing
on the sidewalk
'I amusing the best quality of materials in the construction of the awning which
includes double trussed aluminum and the highest grade of canvas available on the
market.
I want this business to succeed, not only for myself but for the city and its vision to
revitalize this business area.
I would appreciate your consideration and help in making this business a positive
addition to the city of Atlantic Beach.
Sincerely,
Bay De Marco
