City Council Minutes Page 4 <br />January 2, 2018 <br />----------------------------- <br />Councilmember Wagner expressed concerns with residential owners having issues <br />with the Cretex/Handke location. <br />Ms. Allard noted there would be safety concerns with the city lots due to visibility <br />and pedestrian stacking at a truck. <br />Mayor Dietz stated the number of trucks allowed in the downtown area should be <br />limited. <br />Councilmember Westgaard questioned how staff could regulate which trucks can be <br />located downtown if a limit is set on them. <br />Councilmember Wagner questioned if the city would have two different regulations, <br />one citywide and one specifically for the downtown area. <br />Mr. McCoy stated he is not overly concerned with food trucks downtown because <br />they most likely are not going to get a parking space due to how busy it can get <br />versus getting two spots together. <br />Jeremy Jones, Aegir Brewing Company — Asked if they could be allowed to use the <br />city parking lot behind their business for special events. He stated their taproom will <br />not serve food and will encourage local businesses to have menus at their business. <br />He further stated he would like to bring in food trucks to bring in more people to <br />visit the city. He stated they would like to have a truck at least two nights a week, <br />most likely on Friday and Saturday nights. <br />Mayor Dietz expressed concerns that if the city allowed this business to have a <br />special event permit for food trucks, others will want them too. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked if Aegir has talked with the church or bank about <br />utilizing their private property so it takes the city out of the matter, noting those <br />business are most likely not being used during the weekend timeframes noted. <br />Jeremy Jones expressed concerns with distance people would have to walk to a food <br />truck. <br />Tim Jones, Aegir Brewing, expressed concerns with people walking across the <br />parking lot and of the church wanting to be affiliated with a liquor business. <br />Councilmember Wagner noted the downtown concerts only occur about 8 days a <br />year. She stated if she is choosing to go downtown to eat at McCoy's, and she <br />happens to see a food truck, she is not going to change her mind and eat at the food <br />truck. She noted her intention would be to sit down at McCoy's to have a beer and a <br />conversation. However, she stated she would most likely stop at a food truck versus <br />a fast food establishment. <br />earfaII at <br />I ATT <br />
