Council Minutes of 6/20/2006 agreed to take this into consideration. Briefly discussed was the outside storage of salt and the location of storm water drainage in relation to any exterior storage of salt. (Mr. Terbrack agreed to set a meeting date with Mr. Hartman of Developer's Diversified Realty, himself, Mr. Orlowski and any interested members of Council or residents. The tentative date agreed on was Monday, June 19, 2006 at 10 a.m.) Mr. Orlowski believes this is a very workable location for the storage of salt, snow plows and related equipment. It also gives the residents in close proximity to the retail stones some relief form the noise. A two-page letter from Mr. Sees, a County Ciub condo owner, was received. He expressed his interest in resolving along-standing problem with noise and odors from the strip shopping center. (All members of Council and the Safety Director have received a copy of the letter.) The committee voted unanimously to hold this ordinance in committee. On Monday, June 19, 2046, the meeting was held in Mr. Terbrack's office. In attendance were Mr. Terbrack, Mr. Hartman of Developer's Diversified Realty, Council Members Orlowski and Tallon. The issues of common delivery doors, arrangement and placement of dumpsters and the actual dimensions of the rear truck delivery area were discussed. These were the same issues discussed at the committee meeting of June 13, 2006. Early in the conversation, Mr. Hartman stated he was not going to move the salt pile, snow plows or location for the equipment far snow removal. He would reiterate this message several more times during the discussion. Mr. Hartman was very concerned with keeping the salt storage away from the retail buildings. Mr. Terbrack was interested in how or if dumpster placement, delivery doors and distance from truck to delivery door were part of a tenant's lease and if this would impact the issues heing discussed. Mr. Hartman stated he would need to check the wording of all the tenants' leases. The size and number of plows/salt spreaders was discussed. Mr. Harman suggested an azea in front of the retail stores close to the ring road and in front of Catherine's woman's stare. Mr. Orlowski stated the only way he was interest~i in this site would be because it was very removed from the residential neighbors. Mr. Hartman also mentioned the parking area east of the old Kronheim's store, which is next to an open grassy area. Mr. Orlowski was not interested in this azea if it meant the salt pile would be placed on the grass as was earlier indicated. He stated that this parking area may well be a good location, as few vehicles park there-usually retail employees during the peak Christmas sales season. Mr. Terbrack asked if a vinyl fence could be erected to screen the salt, plows and equipment. Mr. Tallon brought the conversation back to the Dallas Shoe Warehouse area which was the point of discussion. Mr. Tallon prevailed with a level head and suggested Mr. Hartman consider and try the Dallas Shoe Warehouse area for at least one year to see how workable this azea can be as a staging area. Mr. Tallon suggested a na stockpiling of salt on the premises ordinance may be in order. In this way, the snow removal company would bring the salt to the strip center each time it was needed. Mr. Hartman agreed that this would be a good arrangement. Mr. Hartman stated he would discuss the issue with the vice-president of the company and the snow removal company and will get back to the city. 11
