unds View City Council ~gular Meeting COUNCIL BUSINESS: Page Eight June 24, 1991 1. Ric Minetor, Public Works Director/City Engineer reviewed Staff Report No. 91-36C regarding Resolution No. 4098 Establishing Design Standards for the Construction of Garbage Enclosures with the City. Minetor asked the Council whether or not they would require the dumpster enclosures to meet applicable side, rear and front yard setbacks. Councilmember Rickaby asked why dumpster enclosures have to be constructed on an impervious surface. Minetor stated that often liquid waste and snowmelt become a factor in making the ground mushy and the dumpsters sink and the hauler may damage fences trying to lift dumpster. Also, for aesthetic purposes it is much easier to keep the impervious surface clean and looking neat. Mayor Linke suggested that the enclosures be a minimum • of 6 feet in height so as to prevent garbage from being tossed into garbage into the enclosure area from a car. Mayor Linke also inquired if the dumpsters are attached to buildings do they need a top on them for fire code purposes? Minetor suggested that an Item 4 be added to the location section which would state that any enclosure attached to a building would have to meet all applicable fire and building codes. Councilmember Wuori expressed concern regarding the type of materials used to make the enclosures. She indicated chain link fence should not be used as it is easily vandalized and needs a lot of upkeep. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator indicated that most times requirements are stipulated that require the enclosure to conform or be consistent with the building's image. MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Blanchard to approve Resolution No. 4098 with the Following Changes to Attachment A of the Design Standards for Garbage Enclosures: * Item 2, DIMENSIONS, should read, All enclosures shall be a minimum of 6'0" in height.
