What can you expect from a city administration that can’t get a light rail system implemented. St. Louis, Denver, Salt Lake City, etc. can do it, but not the incompetents in our city hall!

The parking ordinance is not out-dated. It’s already a pro-business ordinance. The ordinance says 4 persons to a car is one parking space. Not every car has 4 persons to it. They usually 2 or 3 persons to a car. Then when you get a variance it’s a smaller percentage of parking or if you have valet So I don’t think KC parking ordinance is out of date. Just because Kerry Duffus didn’t get his required parking space him and his friends start a big whiners party. Bob do you belong to the whiner party ? Kerry only had 1 owner and that was him.

We all know that Caliente moved to Village West, The Legends in Kansas. The have re-named Caliente to “Caliente Cuba”. It’ll open up September 2006. Kerry Duffus hasn’t started construction yet but will soon. Look, Kerry’s dream came true.
Kerry Duffus has never ran a restaurant / bar before but I hope he goes bankrupt.

It was all Kerry Duffins fault for buying a building with a parking variance problem. Kerry starting renovating the building before he got a parking variance. It’s about time the city stands up to it ordinances.
And for Mark Asher, Kerry Duffin is white and he did hire white expensive lawyers and I thought you said you were there.
And for The Cashew , they tried to apply for a 3 am liquor license and was rejected.
I dont know where you get your information Mark Asher but your a trouble maker.

Any type of city variance is a big deal. The surrounding businesses and residents will have to live with them for a long time. I have had the sad experience of living in an area that allowed a parking variance. My driveway was blocked every weekend. Do you think that the cops have time to watch my space? This is quality of life. Perhaps they should have just done the outlaw thing like the Beaumont. You know, where the saloon keeper puts up orange barrels in the street, there by removing from use “counted” parking spots. I move them as needed and tell them to complain to City Development department. As far as racist, this Latina has seen and heard it all.

Yeah, and you could tell the BZA was sick of dealing with Duffin. I feel really bad for the owners, though. They just ended up with the wrong people on their team. Hard lesson, for sure. I met one of the owners and he was a really nice guy. I think that restaurant would have been great at that location.

Another problem with the request was that Duffin has a history of telling the city a lot of stuff and then not following though. He screwed up one of the nicest venues in KC The Madrid by getting the neighbohood against him and then antagonizing them until they started watching him so close that every miss step was videoed and sent to the Liquor board and others. He is his own worst enemy
