City Council Minutes Page 6 <br /> January 2,2018 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. McCoy stated he understands Aegir needs to have a food truck. He stated he is <br /> not opposed to allowing trucks to park in the parallel spots on the north side of <br /> Main Street but expressed safety concerns with customers crossing the street. Mr. <br /> McCoy noted the city is not going to see a rush of food trucks coming to town. He <br /> stated he sees no issues with allowing food trucks on King Avenue south of Main <br /> Street or in downtown on the north side of Main Street. <br /> It was questioned as to how many trucks would fit on King Avenue and concern was <br /> expressed for the sight being on a hill. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated he would like to find a way to accommodate Aegir <br /> and their desire to have events with a food truck by utilizing the special event <br /> permitting process and allowing them use the city-owned lower parking lot and <br /> requiring a fee. He noted if they then make a request for a food truck on a Thursday <br /> night it could be denied because the parking lot would be needed for a concert. <br /> Staff stated this should be evaluated and noted Aegir would want a special event <br /> permit for every weekend. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated staff should review setting limits for the number of food trucks <br /> allowed in the downtown district. He questioned how many times a food truck can <br /> be downtown,how it would be regulated if three are allowed but six apply. He <br /> questioned how they could be rotated in order to be fair to each of them. He <br /> suggested setting a deadline date in which they have to apply by before selecting the <br /> trucks that can locate downtown. He felt no more than 3-4 trucks should be allowed <br /> downtown. <br /> Councilmember Olsen suggested having it be self-limiting. <br /> Councilmember Wagner expressed concerns with how tight the upper lot is in the <br /> back of Aegir. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated if Aegir applied for a special event permit, staff wouldn't have to <br /> approve all of them. <br /> Staff noted they would approve the permit if the applicant met the requirements <br /> outlined in the special event ordinance. <br /> Jeremy Jones stated city ordinance could set a size limit for a food truck and he <br /> stated they have a back patio that would allow for queuing of patrons. <br /> Mr. Gess stated he would like seating to be allowed in the industrial parks. <br /> Council was amendable to this change. <br /> UREJ <br />
