Re: Banana Boat Restaurant Renovation
Proj: 2000-44
Dear Mr. Rumpf,
I am contacting you regarding the above referenced project. Specifically, the site lighting
at the existing parking lot. Our office has been contacted by the builder stating that the
electrical inspector, Sam Dillingham, would not sign off on this project until our office
produced site photometrics, showing that we meet all city codes for exterior lighting.
I want to point out that as agreed upon as far back as the pre-application meeting on April
13, 1999, this is a minor modification to an existing building. Because of that and the
unique nature of the site, there are several areas that we were not required to bring up to
present day codes. One was the parking, second was the amount of landscaping, and
the third is the site lighting.
There will be a fair amount of light spilling onto our site from the matching light poles
along the new bridge. This, along with the fact that we have added two new light poles
and sixteen new fixtures at the front of the building should more than satisfy what was
originally agreed upon.
In the meantime, I have called Tim Large, the permitting administrator, and apprised him
of this situation. He has requested confirmation from your office before the City can
provide a final sign off on this project.
If you would, please contact him to discuss and resolve this matter. Thank you in
advance for your co-operation.

RE: Bdilltnl~I\tiJtllmll'1tRenovation
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to briefly describe the extent of renovations proposed to the existing
'Banana Boat' restaurant This is to be considered as a 'minor modification' and
regarded accordingly.
As shown on the drawings provided, we are proposing to enlarge the entry element
and extend a covered pedestrian access around to the north side ofthe building.
Because of the existing grade difference, this will allow us to have handicapped
access to the front doors as well as the covered deck seating area behind the
restaurant
We are proposing to demolish the existing 400 sq. ft. storage building across the
parking lot on the west side of the property. This space would then be "added" to
the existing building with a new 400 sq. ft storage addition. In conjunction with
this area, the existing 230 sq. ft. walk in cooler, which is exposed to view from the
exterior, would be incorporated inside the building to eliminate the 'eyesore' that it
is currently.
Thirdly, we are proposing to demolish the fenced in area on the west side of the
property that contains the existing ice machines. As shown on the floor plans, we
are proposing to contain these into a covered area on the north side of the building.
Although this would t'e an open area, we are proposing a solid roof with wood
louvered walls and gat<.., to screen and protect the machines.

Finally, as shown on the site plan, we are proposing to repave and stripe the
existing parking lot. Currently, the existing parking lot with the exception of a
minimal amount of perimeter landscaping covers the entire lot west of the
restaurant. By re-striping this area, we can provide landscaping islands, areas for
exterior site lighting, and a location for the dumpster enclosure that is away form
the restaurant.
If you should require any additional information regarding any of the proposed
renovations, please let me know.
Sincerely,
~QQn ""~
