Excused was Bill Dinsmoor and absent was Jack Stanford. Jon indicated that two people relayed that the dust inhibitor being used on the streets is tracking into stores. Lonnie said it is water soluble. The other complaint was the sidewalk/street in front of the Brand Bldg. A circuit of street lights are out on Main Street. Rebecca Schickling, Assistant Parks Director alerted the Board that someone is vandalizing the chain and lock in the Red Onion alley. It was distorted 12 times last year. If the problem continues she will return to CCLC and possibly the lock will have to be abandoned in the winter. Staff will notify the police to patrol that alley around 2:00 a.m. Rebecca also relayed that the Parks Department has hired a landscape ,- architect who will provide CCLC with designs for fences on the mall in order to protect the grass. Sketches will be provided and a cost analysis. She also reported that the department will be looking at a different type of bike rack for the core area. Kathy Strickland, staff, reported that the Engineering Department will be sending a letter to United Waste to remove the encroachment of the compactor in the Red Onion alley. BFI will install a smaller compactor to service the alley and in the interim dumpsters may be supplied in the alley until the compactor arrives. Jon reported that the door on that particular compactor was open and no one was cycling the machine. COMPACTOR - 303 E. MAIN Mike Epeneter, BFI stated that a site visit was done in the Red Onion alley to determine the appropriate size of the compactor needed. - I COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JANUARY 7, 1998 Terry stated at the last meeting a motion was made to have Engineering send out the letter. Kathy relayed that the Department Head was in the process of sending out the letter and a copy will be provided to BF1. The Assistant City Attorney stated that it is within the law to change the business license applications to include what trash service company the business is going with. The Planet Hollywood alley is full of trash, waste etc. Other board members stated that it is unsightly to our tourists. Board members will not walk through that alley. - Bill Valaika was present to represent the two new restaurants that are going into 303 E. Main, Bacchus and Matsuhisa. The proposal is to co-op with the Howling Wolf on a trash compactor which would be located at the Howling Wolf on private property. On the building plans the trash area is located in the garage at 303 E. Main. IfCCLC and the Engineering Dept. approve the new location that trash area will then hold recycled cardboard, glass and Matsuhisa's grease dumpster. A letter from the Howling Wolf was presented to the Board in favor of the compactor at that location. Bill relayed that Stephen Kanipe, Building official needs a letter of support from the CCLC and Engineering stating that this was a good move forward. Presently those area the only three restaurants that are willing to go in on the compactor. The Howling Wolf has their own grease dumpster with Grand Valley by-products. The Board had concerns with the seven day pickup even though the use of a compactor is proposed. Terry stated that the Board should go forward with the three restaurants and then try and get other restaurants to join in. Bill Valaika is the first person who has come to the CCLC to work with the Board. One reason to go with the compactor is to not have trucks in the alley every day and possibly pickup three days a week is more appropriate. The trash volume has not been determined. She also stated that there are seven restaurants in that alley. - 2 COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JANUARY 7, 1998 Staff stated that a site visit after the meeting is necessary to determine if there is space for a larger compactor to accommodate more than three restaurants. Bill Valaika stated that he has talked with several ofthe trash companies regarding compactors. In order to break the present contract they have to pay $500. Chuck Roth, Engineering Dept. site visited the project regarding the applicants co. It is preferable that the compactors are on private property. There should be a 20 foot emergency access way in the alley. He also relayed that an interim solution should be drawn up for June I, 1998. - Staff relayed that if the compactor is on private property they can pick any service company they desire. When an encroachment is involve different procedures are required. Jon made the motion that some resolution needs to be made that allows 303 E. Main to open and that a resolution statement should include that this is a temporary use approval and is subject to review by CCLC and Engineering with the goal of creating an alley compactor program before summer. A diagram needs to be added to the building approval process indicating the present use of the garage bay which is paper recycle, glass, and grease dumpster only. An agreement between the two parties should be include and the location of the compactor. The goal is to free up the alleys for deliveries. Motion second by Terry. All in favor, motion carried.
