Mr. John Walsh, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Members present: William La Pine Deborah McDermott R. Lee Morrow Carol A. Smiley Ashley Vartoogian Ian Wilshaw John Walsh Members absent: None Messrs. Mark Taormina, Planning Director, and Scott Miller, Planner III, were also present. PETITION 2007-07-0842 ANDIAMO OF LIVONIA Ms. Smiley, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda, Petition 2007-07- 08-12, submitted by Andiamo of Livonia, L.L.C. requesting approval of all plans required by Section 18.47 of the Zoning Ordinance in connection with a proposal to renovate the exterior of the restaurant located at 38703 Seven Mile Road, on property located on the south side of Seven Mile Road between the 1 275/96 Expressway and Haggerty Road in the Northwest''/. of Section 7. Mr. Miller: The petitioner is requesting approval to renovate the exterior of the restaurant located on the south side of Seven Mile Road between the 1-275/96 Expressway and Haggerty Road. The existing building would be converted into an Andiamo Restaurant. Two other restaurants have occupied this building since its conception, The Cooker Bar and Grill and then most recently O'Charley's Restaurant. The subject site is located in front of the Seven Mile Crossing office complex, which consists of three high-rise office buildings. Further to the south is the SchoolcraR College campus. The subject site is zoned C-2, General Business. The focal changes to the exterior would take place primarily on the east elevation of the building. The entrance of the restaurant and main parking lot is located on this side of the building. A 30 foot high lower feature would be created and define the main entrance. This decorative component would be formed out of dryvil and have a projecting comice containing recessed down lights. On each side of the July 17, 2007 24196 tower would be three-dimensional sunflowers. Two smaller versions of the bwer element would outline windows on either side of the entrance. These towers would have small dimensional sunflower ornamentations integrated into the dryvit. A new indoor/outdoor addition would be added to the south elevation of the building. This addition would encroach toward the aisleway and office building located behind the restaurant. The enclosed porch would have an abundance of windows that could be slid open to offer an outside ambiance. Al one end of the addition would be a fireplace with a 23 -fool high chimney. This chimney would also be decorated with dimensional sunflowers. A small (8 fool by 12 fool) exterior walk-in cooler would be added to the northwest corner of the existing building. The entire exterior of the building would be repainted Mr. LaPine: Is there any correspondence? Mr. Taormina: There are three items of correspondence. The first item is from the Engineering Division, dated July 10, 2007, which reads as follows: "In accordance with your request, the Engineering Division has reviewed the above -referenced petition. We have no objection to the proposal at this time. A legal description was not submitted although the boundary shown on the prints appears to be correct. No additional right-of-way is required. The petitioner should be aware that the storm sewer on the South side of the existing building will have to be moved around the proposed addition. An address of 38703 Seven Mile Road is coned." The letter is signed by Robert J. Schron, P.E., City Engineer. The second letter is from the Livonia Fire & Rescue Division, dated July 9, 2007, which reads as follows: "This office has reviewed the site plan submitted in connection with a request to remodel the restaurant on property located at the above -referenced address. We have no objections to this proposal." The letter is signed by Andrew C. Walker, Fire Marshal. The third letter is from the Inspection Department, dated July 13, 2007, which reads as follows: "Pursuant to your request of July 3, 2007, the above -referenced Petition has been reviewed. This Department has no objections to this petition." The letter is signed by Alex Bishop, Building Director. That is the extent of the correspondence. Mr. LaPine: Mr. Walsh has arrived. Mr. Walsh: Thank you for beginning the meeting for me. This is on Schoolcrafl properly so I will not be voting on it. Mr. Taormina: Mr. LaPine, why don't you proceed? July 17, 2007 24197 Mr. La Pine: Are there any questions for the staff? Mr. Morrow: One question. The rendering I see there doesn't have the sunflowers that I can notice. Mr. Miller: They are there. Mr. Morrow: Oh. Those are the sunflowers? I guess they just didn't stand out like they did on the other copy. Are we going to get into the landscape plan? Mr. Taormina: Yes. Lel me give you a little bit of background. We were approached by the owners and operators of Andiamo restaurant about a month ago. This is Dan Linnen. He is going to be running this restaurant. He cumenfly runs one or more of the Andiamo locations, and this will be his responsibility once it's opened. We were approached by them to move through this process relatively quickly. They had signed a letter of intent with Kojaian Corporation, the owners of the Seven Mile Crossings project, and also this restaurant, the former Cookers and O'Chadey's. It was their desire, in order to make this space work, to make some alterations to develop the restaurant in an image consistent with the trade dress, the Andiamo motif. That's why they're looking at several changes to the exterior of the building. They also recognize that the site is a little bit difficult in terms of its visibility from Seven Mile Road. For that reason, we met and took a look at some of the landscaping. Looking at the original approved landscape plan for the Cooker's restaurant, there were a number of trees that were introduced along the north side of the building, which is really the service end of the building facing Seven Mile Road. This is where they have the screened dumpster and also the unloading area on the north side. A number of the smaller trees that were planted here that have since matured. There were some deciduous trees up closer to the road, but this ditch area that takes up the majority of the space between the back of the restaurant and Seven Mile Road really is overgrown. If you drive by there, you'll see exactly what I'm tallang about. Some of the trees are probably 40 feet in height now. There are a lot of fast growing trees like Willow and Elm. So it is their desire to literally take all down. Not necessarily strip it of its vegetation but at least selectively remove the trees and other vegetation to get some filtered views of the restaurant. This ditch, by the way, extends a little further to the east. So it would just include the area in front of the restaurant; it might even extend a little bit further down so that people driving down Seven Mile Road will gel a better view of what would be considered the front of the restaurant. That's where the entrance is located along the east July 17, 2007 24198 elevation. But it was also their desire to build an addition to provide opportunities for seating that the current restaurant does not offer, and that is an indoor/outdoor area. I'm going to let them describe that because the architects were debating on precisely what was going to be built at our Iasi meeting. I'm sure they've pinned that down at this point. The landscaping really would not be altered, other than removal of that thick undergrowth here. The only landscaping that is going to be introduced to the building is along the three sides of this addition, which is on the south side facing the office. It really won't be visible for people other than those who are using the office parking area and dining within that portion of the restaurant. Mr. Morrow: Mr. La Pine and I went out there to check on the site. It's way overgrown, particularly in that ravine. Mr. Taormina: It is. Mr. Morrow: And those five trees that you first approach when heading west, are they going to raise the canopy on those? Mr. Taormina: I think what will happen is that we will meet on the site and discuss not only the clearing of this area, but also selectively trimming and maybe even removing a few of these trees. Mr. Morrow: I was thinking about the second row, raising it, because its just overgrown. It has a negative effect. The other thing I was going to mention that's probably not even part of this site, but when I come up to Seven Mile Road off the expressway or to gel onto Seven Mile actualy, I think there's a police sign there. Right behind the sign is a huge bush. I don't know if it serves any purpose, but it cuts off the angle to your restaurant. Again, I think it's just overgrown. Dan Linnen, Andiamo of Livonia, L.L.C., 42705 Grand River, Novi, Michigan 48374. There seems to be a lot of singular vegetation, trees and bushes, that type of thing, that over the years has taken over. They don't serve a decorative purpose. They are just there. Mr. Morrow: Even around the whole site, i would take a good trimming to make it look good. Green isn't necessary all good if it's too much. Mr. Linnen: Right, and we're not looking to come in and make it look barren. We're definitely looking to trim and to minimize so we can maximize the exposure. Frankly, the approach we took with the July 17, 2007 24199 building was such that we want to make a statement that there's something changed on that site. In our business, three strikes and you're out on a site. If we can't be successful with this site, I hale to say that no one will be successful because if somebody is in and out three times, people aren't going to give it a fourth. So we had to make a statement. We're not looking to increase the overall capacity in terms of seat count. Our seat counts have a lot less density than does a Cooker or an O'Charley's. Its a different type of restaurant. So where the seat count is going to remain relatively the same, I think within four seats of what was there existing, but we are looking to increase the footprint. But again, it's a completely different dining atmosphere as opposed to an eating atmosphere. So that's the difference. As logic will prevail, you say if you're increasing the square footage, you've got to increase capacity. That's not necessarily true because we are, again, changing the configuration, and our seats take up a lot more square footage than do smaller booths and tables. Ms. Smiley: Do you want to talk a little more about that indoor/outdoor room? Mr. Linnen: Yes. What basically we're looking for is an opportunity. One of the areas we identified in this site is the opportunity to do outdoor dining and whatnot in addition to private functions, corporate functions, and that type of thing. We wanted the flexibility to be able to do both. The footprint as it sits doesn't really give us that flexibility. So we wanted an opportunity to try and kill two birds with one stone. Ron, maybe you can better explain it. Ron Rea, Ronandroman, L.L.C., 580 N. Old Woodward, Birmingham, Michigan 48009. We do all of the Andiamo work for Joe Perry and Dan Linnen. What we're doing here is creating what will look like a canvas covered outdoor cafe, if you will, that has glass windows that are operable and sliding so that you have the opportunity on a beautiful night like tonight to keep all those windows open with screens in them so you feel that you're indoor/outdoor. What the canvas awning and the substructure underneath the awning allows us to do is to make sure that if it does min, you dont 40 people out there in an outdoor situation that have to run inside. You should be able to sit out there and enjoy it. We've always found that with outdoor cafes, the more flexibility you have with the roof, you still feel like you're outdoors but you do have the opportunity to stay outdoors in inclement weather. It will have a fireplace in it for the wintertime certainly and even the outdoors. It will be a gas fireplace, just a beautiful flame and a glow. Our goal was, again, to make that almost a non- July 17, 2007 24200 building, if you would visually. It's all glass. You can see here just a face shot and a purple canvas awning over the whole thing, so it's verycafe-like if you will. And that's it. Ms. Smiley: The sunflower thing, I haven't seen that on your other Andiamo's. Is that new? Mr. Rea: No. If you go to any of the other Andiamo's, we've use that sunflower motif in different ways. The Andiamo at Fifteen and Telegraph is profuse inside with sunflowers as well as murals. There's one on the exterior that is a signage eiBmenl. If you go to Hall Road, they're used as awning details painted on the awnings. If you go to Rochester, it's painted on the building. In this case, what we wanted to do, we're working with a dryvil company called Extreme Facades that are extremely good. They're going to lake the dryvit material and they actually do beautiful carved motifs out of the dryvit. They carve it out of foam and then dryvit itself. These will look like plaster, if you will, dryviled sunflowers, three dimensional, big three dimensional motifs here, as well as carved into that chimney. They are all painted this color. They are not yellow. They are not shocking, if you will. They're just dimensional and very rich. That was again in an effort, as Dan said earlier, to modify the look of this building. We were concerned that if we just went in - which we could have easily done - we could have painted it and re -clad the awnings, but it really did require more than that to make it an Andiamo. We're much more of an upscale restaurant and we do want to connote change here. Mr. Wilshaw: In the front of the main 30 fool lower, you have what appears to be an Italian flag basically hanging as a banner. Mr. Rea: Yes, its a banner. Mr.Wilshaw: Would we consider that a signage element as well, Mark? Mr. Taormina: We have not really reviewed this petition yet in terms of signage. We don't have that information. In fact, I think this is a new feature. Mr. Rea: We did show it in the blueprint form. It was drawn in here, but it just wasn't colored out. Mr. Taormina: Its difficult to say right now, Ian. I don't know until we sit down with the Inspection Department and see what they consider signage. We did not view the sunflower as necessarily part of the signage package. Whether or not the flag is included, I don't know. July 17, 2007 24201 Mr. Rea: We're going to comply with whatever it is, the square footage requirements and that type of thing. Of if its an element that can't be presented, then certainly we won't present it. Mr. Wilshaw: Are you looking at having your primary sign on the northern most lower there? Mr. Rea: Yes. And again, you can see that we have raised those elements to gel some architectural interest to that building. Mr. Wilshaw: I guess the only comments I have at this point, I like the structural changes to the building. I think those are attractive. I like the idea of the outdoorfindoor cafe. I think that's a neat element. The sunflowers on either side of the tower and that banner are the things that are concerning me the most at this point. We're pretty restrictive on our signage in the city. Looking at the other buildings, your other facilities, I went around and tried to see as many as I could. None of them really have that type of an element. Like you said, some have been on the awning or some have it subtle. Mr. Rea: Some are more sign -like than this is. This is more what we would call architectural wrapping. It's treated as architecture because its in this finish. Mr.Wilshaw: This is definitely unique from your other facilities. Mr. Rea: We try to make each one unique. Each one fits into a different location, a different type of building. We never really built a new one from the ground up. It's always been taking over an existing building. We try to embellish and make sure that when people drive by Livonia, and they've been to Fifteen and Telegraph last week, that there's somewhat of a cohesion but also an individuality. We're not trying to look like the franchise - type cookie culler, and this one could actually be the best one. Ms. Vartoogian: How large are those sunflowers? Mr. Rea: That is a six foot person right there to give you a scale. They are about five feet in diameter, the center of the sunflower itself, and then you have petals. Maybe six fool, seven foot in diameter. Ms. Vartoogian: Have you thought of any other way of supplementing the sunflowers in your design? July 17, 2007 24202 Mr. Rea: No, I didn't only because I needed to break the regularity of that building. Its very geometric. We're trying to give it an iconic approach. Hopefully when people drive by it, they'll recognize it as the building with the sunflowers on it. I know it sounds hokey but it's no different than going to a great old building downtown Detroit: it's the building that has the clock on it; it's the building that has the so and so. It is an architectural embellishment and R's meant to be frivolous. It really is. Ms. Vartoogian: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Morrow: Just to follow up, when I initially saw these black and white plans, I had the same concerns that Ian had. I guess that's why I was expecting to see some great big yellow sunflowers. That's why I missed it the first time. Did you leave them off? Once I saw the treatment, it moved from a sign, to me, to some kind of architectural enhancement. That's kind of where I came from. Mr. Rea: Right. Yes. Mr. Morrow: I remember when we dealt with the Mitchell's lobster and shrimp structures. They were silting on the wall. We reduced them down and they became an architectural type of thing. To me, this is even further removed from that type of thing. I like the fact that it's almost the way some of these nicer homes have molded ceilings. Mr. Rea: If you did go to Dearborn and west Dearborn, there are panels on the wall on either side of the front door that do have motifs of sunflowers on it. They're treated more like architectural panels. But on the rear side, on the backside as you're going west on Michigan, we did do a sunflower motif there, but very much like the building. They're subtle and they're rich looking. They're meant to be textural and catch shadow and create some activity that isn't your typical squared off building. Mr. LaPine: The first question I have is the patio area. You said you could have small banquets. What will the seating capacity be? Mr. Linnen: I think we have 40. Mr. LaPine: If that's not being used, because as I understand it, you're not increasing the seating capacity that was there before. So if that's not being used by a party or something like that, then you have people sitting there? Mr. Linnen: Yes. July 17, 2007 24203 Mr. LaPine: If I understood you right, which I'm happy to hear, you will have sliding doors and it will be screened. Mr. Linnen: Yes. Mr. LaPine: I like to eat outside but I don't like to eat outside if there are bugs flying around. Thats one of my things. The lower where the fireplace will be, how tall is that? Mr. Rea: That's 23 feel. That's this element right here. Mr. LaPine: Will the entrance be the same that O'Charley's had on the east side? Mr. Rea: Yes. Mr. LaPine: Mr. Morrow and I went out there on two different occasions. We both agree that the shrubbery must be cul back. Not only coming from the east going west, but when you're coming west, there's one big tree there. I don't know if its on your property, but there's a monster one there that really blocks this building. Mr. Rea: I believe it's a pine. Mr. LaPine: Its a big tree. That one either has to be removed or trimmed down. Personally, I kind of like the sunflowers. Normally, I don't go along with that. Personally, I'm kind of looking for something a little different. Most restaurants have four walls. This looks a little different, and it reminds me of the restaurant up the street infronl of the theaters. Mr. Rea: P.F. Chang's with the big horses. Mr. LaPine: Yes, with the big horses. I mean it gives a different element to it. People going by will say, oh, where are we going to eat tonight? That restaurant with the horses in front of it or something like that. I think that's a good idea. Mr. Rea: And P.F. Chang's is a great example. It's very classy and it really works because they really do understand that. Mr. LaPine: Are you doing any renovations on the inside? Mr. Linnen: Oh yes, big time. Mr. LaPine: Is your kitchen going to be changed around or stay in the same location? July 17, 2007 24204 Mr. Linnen: The same location. Mr. LaPine: Is the bar going to be in the same location? Mr. Linnen: Yes. The physical plan is going to remain pretty much in the same location for a couple reasons. One is because it does flow. There is a nice flow to the space. But also, it is cost prohibitive to try to take the kitchen and put it on this wall. Mr. LaPine: I was just curious. Mr. Rea: The one thing that we did discover when we were in here, and Dan discovered it. I knew it was there but I was worried about the budget. It has a beautiful high dear story in here with windows all the way around it, which is what you see referenced right here. It's a beautiful high ceiling that we're going to restore and make that really the focal point of the entire wine room area, which is right in here. This also will have a new fireplace in it. This will be a wonderful, typical Andiamo signature wine wall beautifully lit. There's a gigantic crystal chandelier planned for right here. Casual but cool. We still want you to come in the way we're all dressed here tonight, but we want you to walk out of there knowing that you got treated to something special. Mr. LaPine: Mark, does the office building and restaurant share parking because I know they used to have signs there for parking for only the restaurant. Are you open for lunch and dinner? Mr. Linnen: Yes, sir. Mr. LaPine: So the people working in the office building are going to be panting out there. Are you going to have certain panting spaces designated? Mr. Linnen: It will be the same type of arrangement that has existed since day one. At least, we're told that it has the same type of thing. We're also going to offer valet parking. We're going to take the farthest spots in the parking lot toward Seven Mile and that far line there, and that's what we'll use for valet to perhaps free up more spaces for the office building. Mr. Rea: This is such an intense business area that it would behoove us to do that. Mr. Linnen: Yes, so we have a greater flexibility with parking. Mr. LaPine: I'm glad to hear you say that about the valet parking because that's one of the problems we have at College Park. It's a tough July 17, 2007 24205 place to get in and out of now. When they had the valet parking, I said to them, make sure you have the valet parking farther away because they usually have it right in front of the building and people don't want to pay the money to have valet parking. They want to get as close as possible so they don't have to walk so far. So otherwise, I'm just delighted that the building is going to be occupied that we're going to gel something nice here. Mr. Morrow: Is Duke your landlord or do you folks own the lease or how does that work? Mr. Linnen: We are tenants and Kojaian and properties, there's an SCM or SMC, there's a group. Mr. Morrow: I think Duke was originally involved. Mr. Linnen: Duke sold oullo Kojaian. Mr. Morrow: So you will be leasing that? Mr. Linnen: That is correct. Mr. LaPine: What is your time line here? Are you going to be open by Christmas, hopefully? Mr. Linnen: We'll start work tonight. We're looking at October 1. Its very aggressive at the same time. This will be our eleventh location. We understand the inside, frankly, is already in process. It's already to be milled and everything, a majority of the fixtures. If you watch the show with the crazy chef, they talk about building a restaurant in New York. That's really how it happens. You look at a room like this and you say, you're opening when? And then all of a sudden the night before, it's boom boom boom boom, and all of sudden its a restaurant. So that's really what we're looking at here, interior -wise, although it's going to be dramatic. There is going to be a lot of fixturing and that type of thing. Mr. Rea: The room will be ready, they'll bring it in and probably in three days of installation, it will be done. The biggest work here will be the exterior. That's the biggest from a time stand. Mr. LaPine: Very good. If you're looking for some chefs, talk to this gentleman from SchoolcraR College. Mr. Linnen: We're starting a very nice relationship. We hope to definitely follow that up. July 17, 2007 24206 Mr. Walsh: They're actually going to employ some of our students. We'll send them some good chefs. Mr. Linnen: We see that as a great benefit to being here. Mr. Wilshaw: On the south side of the property, you're taking away some of the parking that used to be there to put in this outdoor dining area. Mr. Linnen: Yes, sir. Mr. Wilshaw: You have a few parking spaces that are still there. Are those going to be designated in anyway? Are those for pickup or take out? Mr. Linnen: We do offer carryout, but frankly we do more of that through our valet guests. Theyll pull up and not have to gel out of the car They'll tell us what their name is and whatnot and then they'll execute it for them so you dont have to gel out of the car. Its not necessarily curbside -lo -go, but we feel it's a step better in the fact that you gel personal attention instead of waiting for somebody to come out and that sort of thing. So we fell these parking spaces were basically set aside for that. I think they called it curbside or whatever they called it, and they had it at the doorway here where the carryout business was generated from and whatnot. We're not going utilize that in that regard. Mr. Wilshaw: So those are public spots. Mr. Linnen: Yes, those will be available on a first come first save basis. Mr. Wilshaw: How many spots did we lose? Mr. Linnen: At least three or four we lost. Mr. Wilshaw: That's why I asked because I know you guys do a take out business as well, people like to gel zip sauce ordered for their barbeques and whatever. Mr. Linnen: Yes. Ms. Varloogian: Are we going to be invited to the grand opening? Mr. Linnen: Absolutely. Its really important for us to be part of the community. When something happens in some situations, you're calling somebody in Chalanooga or Irvine. Here you call somebody that's local, and I can't run and hide. July 17, 2007 24207 Mr. La Pine: Okay. We need a motion.
