Sidewalk dining at Brown Bear still under review
Love,
By Derek Prater

A public hearing on a proposal to revoke the Brown Bear's sidewalk dining license scheduled for last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting was deferred at the request of Ryan Rodenburg, co-owner of the brewery.
The Brown Bear Brewing Co. is back in business, but sidewalk dining will have to stay on hold.
City Clerk Raymond Hummert sent notice to the owners of the
David Corliss, legal services director for the city, said that a sidewalk dining license was separate from a liquor license and that receiving a sidewalk dining license mandated that the license holder make 70 percent of total receipts from food sales.
Rodenburg said that he was gathering information to make the Brown Bear's case to the city.

"We're going to talk with a bunch of people and try to put together a defense," Rodenburg said. "From the input we've gotten so far, we think that 70-30 is almost an unreachable standard for the entire restaurant industry."
Mike Wildgen, city manager, told commissioners that delaying the hearing would allow the commissioners to receive informational packets prior to conducting it.

Under a 1994 zoning regulation, downtown drinking establishments are required to make 55 percent of revenue from food sales.
Rodenburg said business at the brewery had been so-so since it reopened. He said that the timing of the closing hurt the Brown Bear because the closing came at the time when students are determining which bars are popular on a given night. Rodenburg said.
The City Commission relented and gave the brewery another chance after the owners formed a new corporation and presented the commission with a new business plan at the Sept. 7 City Commission meeting.
The Brown Bear's city liquor license was not renewed last month when an internal audit showed that the brewery was not reaching that requirement. The Brown Bear closed Aug. 20.
In other City Commission news:
n The City Commission adopted on first reading an ordinance that would reinstate parking along the west side of Louisiana Street from 160 feet south of 13th Street to 14th Street.
n The City Commission directed staff to draft a proposal to keep and renovate the South Park wading pool.
Wilden said that the pool had been built about 20 years ago and either needed to be replaced or maintained.
City commissioners agreed that the wading pool had become a fixture in Lawrence and that it should be saved.
"It's nice to come onto an item where everyone agrees not to mess it up," said Mayor Erv Hodges.
