It really kind of brought to light how important it is to have outdoor seating and as we started to really look at the streetscape project and noticed where the bump out of the sidewalk kind of ended, right before coming in front of our restaurant, that was kind of when we started to engage relatively quickly on that to see if there was some movement there,&#8221; he told council.<\/p>\n<p>He said while he realizes Main Street would lose the parking spaces in front of his business, he\u2019s willing to sign over the two spots behind his building to the Town. He also said restaurant staff would be given a directive to park away from the main street, at the municipal parking lot beside the Huntsville Curling Club.<\/p>\n<p>Feltis said a patio on Main Street would not only help his business but create a more vibrant downtown.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_90450\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90450\" class=\"size-large wp-image-90450\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201018-130322_Drive-1024x518.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201018-130322_Drive-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201018-130322_Drive-630x319.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201018-130322_Drive-750x380.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201018-130322_Drive-1024x518.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-90450\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Mill on Main (highlighted in yellow) have asked that the expanded sidewalk proposed in the Main Street redesign, the start of which (highlighted in green) is just west of the restaurant, be extended to the front of their building for a patio (image from the plan posted at engagemuskoka.ca, modified to include highlights)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Huntsville Councillor Bob Stone, who sits on the board of the Downtown Huntsville BIA, said he likes the idea of having sidewalk patios, much like in Europe, &#8220;but there&#8217;s concerns about giving you special considerations that other businesses don\u2019t have. There\u2019s also concerns about, we make this accommodation for you and your business and maybe a few years from now it\u2019s somebody that cuts hair and isn\u2019t a restaurant anymore. Now I know you put lots of money into the back of the building, so I do suspect it\u2019s going to be around for a very long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He asked Feltis whether he\u2019d be able to serve alcohol across a sidewalk and whether he\u2019d go ahead and put tables in the parking spots if his request to widen the sidewalk was not approved.<\/p>\n<p>Feltis said when they purchased the establishment, which was called Roma at that time, it came with a license to serve 12 people out front. &#8220;For those of you that remember, they diverted traffic through the parking spots so that they could have that little patio out front. I don\u2019t know that I\u2019ve ever seen so much negative feedback off of that in my life\u2026 Dave and I bought the building, we\u2019ve invested well over half a million dollars, probably close to three-quarters of a million dollars, in this business just in capital projects,&#8221; he said, reiterating how vital outdoor seating is to the business due to COVID-19 and associated restrictions, which he anticipated would continue to impact businesses for years to come. &#8220;We believe that every seat that we\u2019re able to acquire outdoors is imperative to the success of our business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the end, council agreed to issue a change order to remove the parking spaces and extend the sidewalk, while taking ownership of the two parking spaces behind the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m going to just remind council and urge council that this be the last change order that we entertain,&#8221; warned Councillor Brian Thompson. &#8220;We\u2019ve given everyone on Main Street two years to come to the table on this with their suggestions and so on and so forth, and we\u2019re now right up to the wire when the prequalified contractors and so on and so forth will be notified&#8230; Once we get into construction and we start issuing change orders\u2026we are then at the mercy of the contractor and then it can get really, really expensive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you Councillor Thompson, and I couldn\u2019t agree more with you,&#8221; responded Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There may be even less parking on Huntsville\u2019s Main Street, but the Town will gain two parking spots behind Mill on Main.
