commented that the space is not to be used as a parking space. The City ~~anagcr
questioned whether markings would be sufficient to deter parking; Nr. Mcerinns
con~onted that tne markings would not be enough.

the plant materials located in the clear space may exceed the 30" height limita-
tion, and that the plan indicates an incorrect number of parking spaces (29
parking spaces are indicated and only 27 spaces arc shown including the open
space in front .of the wooden stairs). Mr. Richter also stated the number of
units of the project should be indicated on the plan.

City Manager Shoemaker requested a suggestion from the Committee on where
to relocate the dumpster. .Claude Howell responded that the present location was
the agreed upon location from the previous RDC meeting. Mr. Howell stated the
dumpster could not DC a roll-out dumpster; that it had to be located in a position
where.the truck may have access to the dumpster. The City Manager stated that
since this project involved a settlement agreement, the City had some flexibility
and suggested leaving the dumpster where it is presently located.
