NEW BUSINESS
New trash enclosure on South Water Street
Turnblad introduced this item by summarizing and amending his staff report dated August 10, 2018.
John Koch requested approval of a trash enclosure similar to the one built by the City behind Marx
Restaurant. Koch would finance and build the structure, but it would be owned by the City. The
enclosure would be displace two on-street parking spaces on Water Street outside of the south end of the
Midtown Antiques Mall. The enclosure would provide for garbage, grease and recycling and would be
used by the Alfresco Building, the Portside Building and the Midtown Antiques Mall building.
Council Liaison Junker said that losing two public parking spaces is not good. But, dealing with the
dumpster and restaurant grease issues is a high priority for the City. So, he supported the request.
Commissioner Glynn moved to recommend that the City Council approve the request with two
conditions: 1) The three building owners would enter into a use agreement with the City prior
to starting any construction work; and 2) The design, location and construction methods must
be approved by the City prior to starting any construction work.
