MINUTES OF THE <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 27,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> 13. CONSIDER NARROWS DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE <br /> Barnhart reviewed his Staff report regarding a proposal by the Nanows Saloon to place a dumpster <br /> enclosure in the Navane parking lot,which is city-owned property. In 2013,the City Council approved <br /> Resolution 6353,which approved an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit for the Narrows <br /> Saloon and a second Conditional Use Permit for a Class II restaurant. That site plan included two outdoor <br /> patios and a dumpster enclosure. That plan was amended in 2014 to adjust the entryway to the two <br /> businesses. <br /> The site plan identifies the location of a dumpster enclosure approximately 15 feet to the north of the <br /> patio for the Lake Room. The property owner has expressed a concern with the dumpster enclosure being <br /> located in such close proximity to the outdoor patio and has proposed a location on city property toward <br /> the far northern portion of the parking lot adjacent to Lyric Avenue. This location would separate the <br /> patio from the dumpster enclosure. The applicant,at their cost,will build a three-bay dumpster enclosure, <br /> two bays for the Narrows/Lake Room and the third bay is proposed as compensation for using public <br /> property. <br /> Barnhart noted relocating the enclosure would likely cause the loss of three spaces in that location but <br /> three spaces currently striped as no parking for the existing dumpster could be added closer to the <br /> Narrows and Lake Room businesses. The third bay could be used to coordinate trash collection for the <br /> businesses surrounding the parking lot,which may be beneficial if and when plans to readjust the parking <br /> lot move forward. <br /> Crosby suggested the dumpster be moved down toward the west since the proposed area is near the open <br /> enrollment bus stop. Crosby stated if it is slid down a bit,they could slide it in front of the tree area <br /> toward the west, and that in his view that location would be fine. If there is the possibility of other <br /> businesses using the dumpster,perhaps the City should consider adding a fourth stall. <br /> Walsh asked when the Lake Room will be open. <br /> Gary Anderst,Narrows Saloon, stated since he has become involved in June,he has tried to make the <br /> process move forward based on the family's wishes to open up the Lake Room. Progress is being made <br /> and hopefully in two weeks the Department of Health will be in there to look at the kitchen and address <br /> the red tag on the Narrows side. If everything works out great,they would like to open up the Lake Room <br /> in February,but that it has been a real challenge to get qualified trades people to do the construction. <br /> Crosby stated the back part of the parking lot would be better for the enclosure as long as it is moved <br /> further west. Crosby stated the dumpsters will have lids on them to keep everything contained and the <br /> trees will help screen the area. <br /> Walsh commented it makes sense for the City to do what they can to help make this area look better. <br /> Dankey stated her concern is about the location given the bus stop in the area. Dankey noted a lot of <br /> times people are parked in those spaces because they are dropping off kindergarteners but sometimes they <br /> have to park further away and then the children run across the parking lot. Dankey stated she does not <br /> want to lose one space up there since those spaces are used several times a day. <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
