This meeting is a continuation of the special meeting called Juen 28, 1983 to consider standards and operating conditions for miscellaneous types of temporary or mobile commercial vendors operating in or along th~ public way. II ROLL CALL Members Present: Mayor Duncan, Councilmen Gerberding, Hordyk, Polhamus, Quast and Whidden. Members Absent: Councilman Haguewood. Staff Present: Manager Flodstrom, Attorney Miller, L. Cosens, J. Pittis, G. Booth, D. Wolfe, D. VanHemert. Public Present: J. Fairchild, B. Love, D. Sinnes. III - VI - SUSPENDED VII LEGISLATION 1. Sidewalk Obstruction Permit - Lower Elwha Summer Youth Employment Program and Conditional Use Permit - Morgan/ Sinnes Mayor Duncan reviewed the discussion occurring at the June 28, 1983 meeting at which Council specifically considered the Lower Elwha Tribe's application for a sidewalk obstruction permit to operate pushcarts in Downtown Port Angeles, and the Morgan/Sinnes application for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a retail food stand on Railroad Avenue; and generally, standards and conditions for temporary or mobile commercial vendors operating in or along the public way. Council further discussed the Lower Elwha Tribe's proposed operation and Mayor Duncan then opened the matter for public com- ment. Jean Fairchild and Bob Love, downtown merchants, opposed a prolifera- tion of this type of activity along the waterfront and Downtown Port Angeles and called for orderly development of the area. Dan Sinnes, appli- cant for the Conditional Use Permit to operate a retail stand on Railroad Avenue, supported his proposal for locating a retail stand on undeveloped property along Railroad Avenue. Councilman Whidden noted he supported per- manent store front businesses and after further discussion moved the Council deny the Morgan/Sinnes application to operate a retail food stand at 131 East Railroad Avenue. Councilman Hordyk seconded and noted the wishes of the citizenry of Port Angeles to beautify the waterfront and Downtown. Councilman Polhamus objected to a Council change of policy in mid-application for the Conditional Use Permit when permits have previously been issued this year. After further Council discussion the motion was called, with Councilmen Whidden and Hordyk voting "Aye" and Councilmen Polhamus and Gerberding voting "No". Councilman Quast abstained. Mayor Duncan, voting to break the tie, voted in opposition to the motion, thus approving the Morgan/Sinnes application for a Conditional Use Permit. Mayor Duncan noted the applicants had applied in good faith in accordance with current City rules and regulations and though the rules are now subject to change, it would be unfair to deny the permit this far into the application stage. Councilman Gerberding then moved the Council approve the Morgan/Sinnes application for a retail food stand at 131 East Railroad Avenue per the Planning Commission recommendations and conditions, subject to two condi- tions: that (l) the applicant provide litter control in the immediate vicinity of the stand and (2) final design of the stand be subject to ap- proval of the Planning Department. Councilman Polhamus seconded. On call for the question the motion carried with councilman Hordyk voting "No". 3 ~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 30, 1983 Councilman Gerberding then moved the Council deny the Lower Elwha Tribe application for a Sidewalk Obstruction Permit to operate pushcarts in Downtown Port Angeles. Councilman Hordyk seconded and after further discussion the motion carried. Councilman Gerberding then moved Council instruct staff to develop standards and operating conditions for miscellaneous types of temporary or mobile commercial uses operating in or along the public ways, and declare a mora- torium on permitting such activity pending Council approval of such guide- 1- lines and conditions. Councilman Hordyk seconded and the motion carried. VIII ADJOURNMENT Mayor Duncan adjourned the meeting at 6:50 PM. ~~e~) City Clerk ~~~ I I
