CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY a, 1988
REQUEST TO USE
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
FOR DISPLAY AND
SALE OF MERCHANDISE
AT CENTRAL FURNITURE,
608 SOUTH CENTRAL
AVENUE DENIED The City Council was advised that in October of last year,
the City reviewed with the City Council the different types
CC -16 of encroachments that were taking place within the public
CC -45(e) right-of-way. The Public Woks Department is enforcing the
CC -53(a) ordinance with respect to these encroachments. Letters
were sent to parties having encroachments allowing them
sufficient time to remove their property from the public
right-of-way. Approximately 40 businesses have now
complied with this request.
At the April 20, 1988 Council meeting, a letter dated March
29, 1988 from E. H. Spangler was received by the City
Council. Ntc Spangler is requesting a waiver of the
ordinance requirements in order to display sale merchandise
fronting his business.
The Council, at its meeting of February 17, 1988, reviewed
the request of the appliance stores of Kundert and Bauer
and Reo's Appliance for a waiver of the ordinance. in the
case of the appliance stores, their need was to facilitate
the deliveries from customers and suppliers. The City
Council did approve this use of the right-of-way under the
issuance of an encroachment permit.
The Chamber's Retail Merchants Committee is in agreement
with the City's position of cleaning up the sidewalk and
right-of-way of signs and sales material except for special
organized sidewalk sales.
It is felt that the approval of the variance for the
appliance stores was not precedent setting. However, the
approval of this request would set a precedent for allowing
the display and sale of material on the sidewalk and in t h e
public right-of-way. Therefore, it is Staff's
recommendation that this request be denied.
114 Spangler was not in attendance to speak on behalf of
his request.
Following discussion with questions being directed to Staff
the City Council on motion of Council Maw Reid, Hinchman
second, denied the request of E. H. Spangler to use the
public right-of-way for display and sale of merchandise.
