Dear Sirs:
Hoffman-Rettig Foods has been examining Campustown for a restaurant
location. We are pleased to see that one restaurant on Lincoln Way has been
allowed to place tables on the sidewalk. In our minds, this greatly contributes
to the commercial viability of that block. Lincoln Way suffers because it offers
limited parking and only one street side for retail. The 'sidewalk cafe'
approach makes the street friendlier, and increases consumer traffic.
Should we open an establishment on Lincoln Way, we would like to
provide outdoor seating. Our plan would require a minimum of sidewalk space.
In particular, we would like to have 3 or 4 small, two-seat tables. The current
sidewalk is 12' wide; we would need no more than 5' for tables. These tables
• could be placed against the storefront, or against the curb, whichever you deem
more appropriate. We would keep strict watch to make sure that no tables or
chairs stray beyond their allowed area.
I understand that the city policy on this issue has not been finalized. If
you are concerned about the empty storefronts and business failure rate on
Lincoln Way, I strongly urge you to allow sidewalk tables as a possible solution.
Thank you for your consideration, and please let us know how it turns out.
Sincerel ,
Ad Green

The new establishment, Cafe e6audelaire, located on the corner of Lin olrway
and Welch Avenue, has recently come under fire by the City Manager of the ity
of Ames.
Cafe Beaudelaire is a Brazillian style sidewalk cafe. Sidewalk cafes are.
not a new concept. In the United States, Europe, South America and many other
countries, sidewalk cafes are commonplace.
These establishments are known to bring much income to their surrounding
businesses and thus the City revenues are substantially increased.
There have been eight citizen complaints against Cafe Beaudelaire stating
there is not enough sidewalk space on which to walk.
The City of Ames issued a "Trial Permit" to Cafe Beaudelaire with the
agreement that there would be at least six feet of sidewalk space on which
pedestrians may walk. There are seven feet of open sidewalk space on which
people may walk. WHERE IS THE LEGITIMACY OF THESE COMPLAINTS?
As a concerned campustown, Ames Citizen and voting constituent, I
request your support for Cafe Beaudelaire.
