There are some big plans in store for Bennigans Bar and Grill at the Tropical Inn.
City Hall has received an application from Gary Pfeifer of Pfeifer Holdings, to add a seasonal sidewalk café to the hotel, located at 1001 Highway 16 Bypass.
The proposal is to add a non-permanent structure outside of Bennigans with six tables and 30 chairs, to be located on what is currently a parking area next to the hotel. Tropical Inn leases the land from the city for the parking lot. During the winter months, the structure would be taken down and stored indoors.
At their planning committee meeting Monday night, council approved a recommendation from administration to amend their lease agreement with Pfeifer Holdings Ltd. to allow the sidewalk café at the hotel.
The next step is for application is expected to come to council for final approval next Tuesday.
