Summary

The committee approved Magellan's sidewalk café permit on Main Street but made the approval contingent on public works conditions requiring a minimum unobstructed sidewalk width of 4 feet 6 inches and no anchored objects in the right-of-way.

The Waukesha City Ordinance and Licensing Committee approved a sidewalk café permit for Magellan's on Main Street on the condition that public works requirements be met. The engineering comment on file requires that no tables, booths or other objects be anchored in the right-of-way and that a minimum of 4 feet 6 inches of sidewalk be maintained at all times, with 5 feet preferred where possible.

The chair said the permit is contingent on those public works comments and warned that continued complaints could affect future approvals. Committee members approved the conditional motion unanimously.

The condition aims to preserve pedestrian clearance in the right-of-way while allowing outdoor seating under the city's permitting rules.
