City Council Minutes <br />February 5, 2018 <br />Page 12 <br />sometimes block access to his business for up to an hour. He stated if Council is <br />concerned about a food truck, then they should also consider not allowing delivery <br />trucks in the lot, but he also understands all the businesses need the deliveries too. <br />Ms. Allard expressed concerns with the stacking of customers if the two east parking <br />spots are utilized. <br />Aegir representatives stated they have a patio customers would be sitting at and there <br />would not be stacking of customers at the truck. The stated if the truck was in the <br />back parking lot it would help reduce their visibility. <br />Council felt this was the best compromise for everyone and removes the truck site <br />lines from the public. They further suggested allowing the food trucks via a special <br />event permit. <br />Mayor Dietz expressed concerns with other entities wanting a special event permit <br />for downtown for food trucks. He stated he liked the idea of using the city lot on the <br />north side of Highway 10. <br />Councilmember Wagner agreed stating there are street lights for customers to cross <br />the highway, it gives the food trucks good visibility, and may encourage others to use <br />those lots. <br />Mr. Portner stated we are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist and suggested <br />we designate the two easterly parking spots as food truck parking via special event <br />permit only to see how to works. He noted the ordinance can always be amended. <br />He stated traffic circulation in the lot is slow because the lot is tight and planning <br />likes calming measures in parking lots, noting a food truck will help with canning. <br />Councihnember Wagner stated the restaurants might not like this but it's an <br />opportunity to see what happens. <br />Ms. Rydberg suggested not locking into a designated parking spot but to leave it <br />open in case other businesses want a truck somewhere else in the downtown. <br />Mr. Portner expressed concerns with city staff making a judgement on the location <br />because the downtown is a controversial location. <br />Ms. Rydberg expressed concerns with signing a designated food spot in the middle <br />of the parking lot. <br />Council further noted the two designated spots wouldn't be blocked all the time for <br />food trucks; only when a permit is requested. Mayor Dietz stated the police <br />department could block off the spots when needed. <br />10.2 Parks and Recreation Proposed Fees <br />A <br />►�O jtF 'B�"E I e r <br />\/'111 URS <br />
