MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE S, 1999 Scalze pointed out that Frattalone first obtained a fill permit for this property in 1983, and sug~ested that perhaps a five-year term would be more appropriate for the stockpiling and recycling use. Fahey indicated that the Council has already debated the term and consensus was for ten years. Fahey again stated that he would like to see alternatives. He pointed out that this business appears to be a viable one, and su~;~ested that Mr. Frattalone was a wise businessman who will upgrade the use of the property when the time comes. Scalze stated that the recyclin~ operation is not the hi~hest and best use of this site. Morelan sug~ested that this is why the City is requirin~ the license fee to offset the revenue that the City receives given that the property is not developed to its potential. Morelan stated that he would approve staff" s recommendation for the $500,000 bond. However, if Frattalone cannot accept that requirement, then additional research is needed into alternatives. Frattalone pointed out that the maximum amount of materials that can be stored on the site is 40,000 yards. That maximum is on site only about 30 days each year, with much less materials the remainder of the year. Therefore, the amount of the bond should reflect the cost of removal for a lesser amount than 40,000 yards. Council did not agree and suggested that the bond should cover the maximum amount of materials. Frattalone stated that he would like to have a decision on the Development Agreement so that he does not have to continue to attend Council meetings. Frattalone indicated that, if necessary, he will post a$500,000 bond, but did not feel that hi~h an amount was necessary and was concerned about tying up that amount of bondability. Frattalone stated that he would prefer to work with the City Administrator on identifying other options. Fahey a~reed that Frattalone should work with the City Administrator and City Attorney to identify options. Fahey suggested that if the City Administrator and Frattalone reached an a~reement, a recommendation could be placed on the Consent Agenda for Council action. There was no one from the ~eneral public present wishin~ to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Fahey, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed.
