APPLICANT – The owner of Seafood City, Mr. Fung, was being represented by Mr. Lee Mak, architect with Mak Architects, 8328 Olive. Mr. Mak is the architect representing the owner at the meeting. Mr. Price asked about the odor of fish being dumped in the dumpsters, the debris as crates on the undeveloped side and the construction of a privacy fence. City Manager Ms. Feier said that the bill had several required conditions such as usage of trash containers that would prevent the odors from escaping, more frequent trash collections, and the hours of trash collection be limited to 8a.m. to 8p.m. Another condition was to install a privacy fence that would shield the site from the neighboring houses. The Planning Department could site the owner with zoning code violations if the requirements were not met. Ms. Brot said that this proposed ordinance was more detailed than a similar previous application from the owner for a rezoning of their existing lot. She felt that the complaints Mr. Price listed were addressed the last time; Seafood City at that time scheduled more frequent trash pick-ups preventing escaping odors. If a problem exists, it should be reported to the City. Mr. Price was concerned about the privacy fence being able to shield the homes on the new parking lot. Mr. Mak explained how the privacy fence was to be constructed and how it would conceal the view of Seafood City from the homeowners. Mr. Price asked the architect, Mr. Mak, if he would do a walk through with him on the site so that Mr. Price could have a better understanding of the construction and effectiveness of the proposed retaining wall. CITIZEN COMMENT Yar Mohabbat, 1249 North and South Mr. Mohabbat expained that as an architect he wanted the Council to understand more thoroughly the requirements that professionals as civil engineers are responsible for in building privacy fences. Mr. Wagner moved for approval of the rezoning of Seafood City and was seconded by Mr. Price. Roll Call Vote was as follows: AYES: Mr. Price, Ms. Ricci, Mr. Wagner, Ms. Brot, Mr. Glickert, Mr. Sharpe, Jr., and Mayor Adams NAYS: None Bill 8919 passed and was given Ordinance No. 6677. TABLED SITE PLAN APPROVAL ON CITY MANAGER’S REPORT Mr. Price moved to take from the table the site plan report, seconded by Mr. Sharpe, Jr. and was unanimously approved. Ms. Feier explained that this is the site plan for Seafood City encompassing lots 7743 and 7745 Olive. She said that conditions have been added to this approval that addressed issues previously expressed by the citizens, including having the proper drainage which will be inspected by MSD as well as U-City’s Public Works’ department. 4
