MINUTES OF THE <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 27, 2018 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />13. CONSIDER NARROWS DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE — Continued <br />Barnhart stated from an efficiency standpoint, they would like to square off the corner and cut into the hill <br />a little, and the other concern is not locating it too far from the Narrows. If the dumpster is out of sight <br />from the restaurant, there may be a safety concern and that they could perhaps put it by the light pole. <br />Anderst stated that spot is also quite a distance from the restaurant to haul garbage and that they are <br />looking at providing some type of device to use, but that it becomes a lot more difficult in the wintertime. <br />Walsh stated the feedback he is hearing is that the City Council is generally supportive of relocating the <br />dumpsters but that they need to find a good spot for it. <br />Crosby commented the area a little bit to the west would be the best spot and that they could mark the <br />lines and erect signs saying there is absolutely no parking in those spots. <br />Dankey stated they could also restrict parking in that area to certain times. <br />Barnhart stated there may be a challenge enforcing it. <br />Crosby stated he would like to make it a no parking area. <br />Seals commented it might be better to take an overall look at the area. <br />Dankey commented all the other buses pick up at Lunds and it is a nightmare. <br />Crosby noted the rest of the lot is pretty well open. <br />Dankey pointed out there is also a park in the area, which attracts children. <br />Printup stated the upgrades made at the Narrows Saloon has helped get the ball rolling for improving the <br />area and that he would like to thank them for doing this. <br />Dankey noted the reason why the bus stop is in that spot is because it is in Orono. <br />Rief asked if the City Council would like to look at more of a master plan. <br />Walsh indicated he would prefer that option. <br />Anderst stated their goal is to open up the Lake Room shortly after the first of the year and a condition of <br />the Conditional Use Permit is that the dumpster enclosure be in place. Anderst stated they are trying to be <br />compliant with that. <br />Walsh stated the City will attempt to work as quickly as they can but that there are a number of issues that <br />need to be looked at. Walsh stated the City Council can work with the Conditional Use Permit and the <br />issues surrounding that. <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
