Session 1512, Minutes Page 2 February 5, 1990 ' ,,,,,'''''''':'''''''''' (1110e the building on this site will be removed promptly. Mr. Adams moved approval of the Consent Calendar. Mr. Schoamer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. VILLAGE OF UNIVERSITY PLACE - PLAT NO. 2 Mr. 011endorff said this item was removed from the Consent Calendar because it was necessary to add a condition. He said the Plan Carimission recommended fi- nal approval of Plat No. 2 of the Village of University Place, however, Coun- ci].member Schuman has suggested a condition requiring that setback lines for Lot 96 be adjusted to protect the large tree on the corner of that lot. Mrs. Schuman said the conditional use permit for this property was approved at the May 1, 1989 Council meeting with a condition that the building lines be adjusted on Lot 96 to allow for protection of the aforementioned tree. She moved approval of Plat No. 2 with the condition that the building lines on Lot 96 be changed to the satisfaction of the City Forester.

If that happens, it will re- sult in the expansion of aluminum can recycling to the whole city within about a year. It should also allow the City to expand the yard waste collection and Treesaver programs, and encourage more citizens to take part. Finally, it may be possible to consider the collection of other types of recyclables such as glass or plastics., Mr. Schoomer felt that recycling was one of the City's highest priority items, and he moved approval of the requested $18,000 allocation. He also asked that the City Manager be directed to provide Council with a line item to advance this in the forthcoming budget. Mr. Price seconded the motion. *Mr. Wagner arrived at this time. Mrs. Schuman noted a written comment from the Public Works Director regarding the inability to purchase enough containers for the entire City. She pointed out that the amount received for the recycled aluminum will certainly offset
