Session 1719, Minutes 6 April 13, 1998 done. Mr. Rose said that the Lion's are not prevented in obtaining a peddler's license. They would just need to meet the criteria, such as being sponsored by a restaurant, not a grocery store. Mr. Ware said that most of the major supermarkets cook as much food on the inside as they do selling groceries. Putting these outdoor sales applicants only outside of restaurants is not as indicative as it used to be. Mr. Lieberman asked Mr. Salarano why the barbeque's were not continued on Chaney's lot. Mr. Salarano explained why they no longer are at Chaney's. Mr. Schoomer moved to direct the City Manager to implement option #3 permitting peddler licenses to be issued to businesses for on premise sales as of the memo from Gregory Rose dated October 17'h, 1997. Mr. Ware seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Schoomer said that this question should continue to be studied to discover any better ways to resolve it. AGENDA ~ - DELCREST COURT - ACCEPTANCE AS PUBLIC STREET: Mr. Ollendorff said that the Delcrest Condominium Association has requested that the City take over their private street. They understand that the street has to be brought up to City standards before it can be taken over as a public street. The Association requests that the Council consider any type of financial support that might be available for this project. Mr. Ollendorff could not find any logical basis for such support since this is a private street. After checking with several neighboring communities, Mr. Ollendorff said that Olivette was in the process of taking over a number of private streets. Here, as in Clayton, the full costs of taking over a private street are to be born by the private property owners. Council should take a look at this to see if any adjustments to this policy should be made. The City Council could offer to finance the improvements through a special tax bill. The costs could be spread over several years at the property owners option. Mr. Lieberman asked if the special tax billing could be applied even if the private subdivision did the work themselves instead of the City doing the work. Mr. Ollendorff replied that the City would do the work and it would have to be with the understanding that the property would be accepted by the City pending the work. Interest rates are approximately eight percent and the loan could be spread over a ten year period. Mr. Munkel asked Mr. Ollendorff what his estimates were as to the continued costs to the City once the street is improved. Mr. Ollendorff replied that once it is accepted as a public street, the maintenance is the City's responsibility, which includes tree planting, snow removal, asphalt repairs, and so on.
