The subject property is described as East 150 feet of the west 260 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Rooney’s Subdivision except adjacent highway (1521 Tullamore Street). The property is located to the west of Mazatlan Restaurant and to the north, across Madison Avenue, of India Palace. 

The property is currently used for a restaurant, the Olde Brick House, and will continue to be used for as much.

The subject property is zoned B-1, Community Business District. 

The City Council granted a conditional use permit to allow the restaurant use on the subject site, and a certificate of design compliance for the current structure on May 14, 2018.

The property owner is seeking a certificate of design compliance for an approximately 750 square foot addition to an existing building located in the Highway Gateway Overlay District. The subject property is described as the east 150 feet of the west 260 feet, except for adjacent highway right of way, of Lot 1, Block 1, Rooneys Subdivision, Mankato (1521 Tullamore). 

The applicant is seeking a certificate of design compliance for an approximately 700 square foot addition to the eastern side of the current structure. Site plans show the approximately 15' wide structure constructed in the current access drive aisle. A remaining drive aisle of approximately 10' in width is depicted on the eastern side of the addition. 

With the proposed addition, the subject site will achieve Mankato City Code standards for off-street parking. 65 parking stalls are provided, and 48 parking stalls are required. Mankato City Code standards for restaurants require one parking (1) space for each four (4) seats, one (1) space for each two (2) employees on major shift, one (1) space for each delivery vehicle, and one (1) space for customer food pickup. The current facility has a seating capacity of 110, which requires 28 parking stalls, 12 employees on a major shift, which requires 6 parking stalls, and 1 pick-up stall for a total of 35 required parking stalls. The proposed addition increases the seating capacity by 52 occupants, which requires 13 additional parking stalls for a total of 48 stalls. 

Floor plans show the new tables and chairs in the new seating area. Additional accessory cabinets and a point of sale system are shown on the plans. 

Exterior elevations show finishes that match the current structure. Those finishes include three different brick types, and metal accents to match the existing structure. Storefront glazing systems, matching the existing, are also shown on the south and east elevations. Light fixtures on the new addition are noted to match the existing.
