Final plans for a hot dog eatery came before the Walnutport Borough Council Thursday night and passed without a problem.

Ricky Harring and Mike Harring, owners of the proposed Doggy Style hot dog shop, said they hope to be open by Christmas. Before that can happen though, there is much work to be done at the site of the former Fritz's Barber Shop on Main Street.Darrin Heckman, a senior project manager at Lehigh Engineering Associates in Walnutport, told borough council that the Harring brothers plan to raze the current building. The new structure will be 34 feet by 30 feet and will include a 6-foot overhang in the front. The overhang will provide cover for a walk-up window.Mike Harring said they wanted a walk-up window because there are many people walking in that area and it will be convenient for them. But when the weather gets nasty or people just want to sit down, there will be a dining area inside the eatery, too.The idea for opening a business has been floating around for a while."We know the previous owners, and they kept hitting us up to buy it," Ricky Harring said. "I like the location." The brothers expect the heavy foot traffic to be a bonus for the shop."Everybody eats hot dogs," Mike Harring said. "Well, almost everybody.""Good prices and good food," Ricky Harring said. "We believe price means a lot."The brothers plan to provide a good product for an affordable price.As far as the hot dog shop's name, that came from a brainstorming session with friends, the brothers said."It stands out," Mike Harring said, and brought smiles and chuckles to the borough council.Hot dogs won't be the only fare on the menu, but those details are still being worked out, the Harring brothers said.Six parking spots, with one marked handicap, will be available for the patrons, Heckman told the council.Among the motions passed by council was a waiver for the traffic study. Since the there are only six parking spots, the council decided that the study isn't necessary.The Harring brothers agreed to pave a portion of Bakers Alley and extend the sidewalks along Railroad Street to the alley. A porous asphalt will be used for the paving in order to create the best management of stormwater, Heckman said.Two of the business's parking spots will be along the side of the building on Railroad Street. Heckman requested, on behalf of the Harrings, to have signage installed there restricting parking to 15 minutes during business hours. He said the spots will be needed for delivery trucks. Council agreed to the signage, but will determine the exact wording at a later date.
