session 1576, Minutes August 17, 1992 Page 4 submitted a 25-signature petition in SUWOrt of conti.nui.rq the ban. Mr. Paul Patterson, 7030A DartnDuth, agreed with Mr. Skiple, notin] that sta- tion wagons, minivans, etc. are the same size as small trucks, am people buy these vehicles because of their versatility. He felt light vehicles should be allowed to park on city streets at any time. Mr. Stephan Glickert, 7750 Blackberry, asked hOVl many will be acx:x::t11lOOdated by the proposed charge, am the Mayor said not many. He noted that Council was doin] many thinJs to beautify the City, but this chan;Je would be detrimental. Ms. Kathryn D.1biel, 7030A DartnDuth, said the City's ban on truck parkin] is an unwarranted hardship on residents with small trucks. She noted that park- in] of other small vehicles is not prohibited by virtue of state licensin] laws, am she felt all domestic, non-ccmnercial vehicles should be allowed to park on the street. She added that a lot of cars in the City are in worse condition than many trucks. Mr. Gary Nellin], 850 Warder, CWJSed any chan;Je in the truck parkin] laws. Although trucks are marketed for personal use, he felt there was a difference between them am vehicles like minivans. He said there was a correlation be- tween camrm.mities that demand high st.armrds am quality of envirornnent, am the kind of people they attract. He felt the current law should be kept. Ms. Bette Bush, 200 I...:imen, also CWJSed charges in this law. She said uni- versity City has improved its housin] through its inspection process, which has helped make it a desirable ccmnunity in which to live. She said there was no good reason to charge the law since by l10Irl alIrost everyone knows about it, am it would lower property values. Also, trucks parked on the street give the appearance of a camnercial rather than a residential area. Ms. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, said several who could not atterrl wished to be on record as CWJSed to the proposed truck parkin] charge-Ursula Calla- han, Joe Myers, am Sam Lee, all of wham sent petitions with Ms. Glickert. She believed University City residents did not want IOOdification of this law, am said property values would be affected negatively if the law is charged. She left a petition with 41 signatures. She said Council is charged with protectin] the City am should continue to do so by leavin] the law as it is. Mayor Majerus closed the public hearin] at 8:20 p.m. LI<XJOR LICENSE - 6605 DElMAR OCUIEVARD '!he city Manager recx:.mnended denyin] an application to sell all types of in- toxicatin] liquor by the drink seven days a week at 6605 Delmar. Council's long established policy is that new restaurants denonstrate their capabili- ties durin] a six-month waitin] period before bein] granted a license, but this business does not meet any of the criteria for which an cx::casional ex- ception has been granted, Le., it is not a continuation of a previous busi- ness nor an addition to a chain of similar operations. '!he applicant claims a staff person told him the license would be approved, but Mr. Ollendorff said he could not locate that person. '!he application is in order am the
