REPORT FROM STAFF ON OCEAN AVE...AND.WATER ST. • "Local City Engineer Jim Adams reported that after further study of these streets the Access Only" sign had been changed to read "Street Ends" and had been moved so it is visible from Sound View Dr. He recommended that the existing parking restrictions on the west side of Ocean Ave. remain. He said some of the local residents had. -asked that the signs say."No.-Parking After Dark" which they felt would solve the parking problems, but it would cost $50.per sign to make that change and he felt that determining when it was -dark may pose a problem. He felt this was now a policing problem, rather than a signage problem. The report was accepted. REPORT,FROM POLICE CHIEF ON QUESTION..OF RESIDENT PARKING PERMITS Police Chief Marlo Foster said..he.had obtained the -City of Everettordinance on this subject and he was working -with theCity Attorney to.draft an ordinance.for.Edmonds, and he expected to have a proposal -for discussion by October 30. APPROVAL OF STREET USE PERMIT - CLAIRE'S PANTRY Public Works Director Fred Herzberg stated that when.this building was- constructed Ahere was no provision made inside for the storage of garbage because the State.code said it could not be stored inside. 'The present restaurant generates -much more garbage thatthe previous ones did. The building takes up.100% of the lot so there is no space outside the wall which is owned by the restaurant on which to place dumpsters. A temporary street use permit.was issued to place two dumpsters on the sidewalk of 3rd Ave. during construction, but that has expired, and the restaurant owners were now asking.for a permanent permit. The previous restaurant.had.rented a garage from a nearby property owner and had.used that to house.the trash containers,�but-shortly before this restaurant opened that property owner cancelled the lease for the garage. Bob Gorman, owner of the restaurant, said he has been dealing with the..land.owner..behind the restaurant.to try to purchase some.property at the north of the building but the owner really does not want to.sell, and he is asking $450 per month to use the ground. ""r. Herzberg -said they are still,..looking for alternatives.
