Community Board 11 signals no objection to Morris Park Inn outdoor dining permit
Summary
Economic committee reviewed an outdoor dining application from Morris Park Inn and decided not to send a letter to the Department of Transportation, effectively allowing the permit process to proceed without a board objection.
Community Board 11’s economic committee reviewed an application from Morris Park Inn to install outdoor dining on Morris Park Avenue and decided not to submit a letter to the Department of Transportation opposing the permit.
Board members examined the applicant’s schematic and photos. Committee members said the proposed layout showed tables surrounded by a four‑foot barrier that left adequate pedestrian clearance. The committee’s motion was to take no action—meaning no objection—and the motion passed.
The committee report noted the application materials are hyperlinked in the agenda and include details about the proposed layout and schedule. A committee member cautioned that some specifics — for example whether the installation would be seasonal or a longer‑term block‑of‑season arrangement — were not immediately available in the meeting but could be reviewed in the application materials.
Because the DOT’s outdoor dining process treats an absence of objection as tacit approval from the local advisory body, the committee’s decision clears the way for DOT to move forward with the permit review and final determination.
Board staff said they would continue to monitor the application and to review additional detail if the applicant provides it.
