Cafe Patachou will have to wait for a decision
A controversial proposal to add outdoor seating as part of the expansion of a popular Meridian-Kessler restaurant was delayed Tuesday at the request of a neighborhood group.
The Meridian Street Preservation Commission was scheduled to vote Tuesday on the seating, which would be added at the corner of 49th and Pennsylvania streets. That’s where Cafe Patachou owner Martha Hoover plans to expand the neighborhood eatery and open a new pizzeria that would serve beer and wine.
The proposal has drawn the ire of neighbors who fear noise, traffic and parking complications, but other neighbors support the addition of commercial activity in the area.
The commission continued its review of the seating — which, developers say, is an important part of the project — until next month so the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association could study the issue further.
The continuance also will delay the vote of the Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals, which was scheduled to review the outdoor seating and other minor variances on the project later this month.
