The City Manager's recommendation on solid waste disposal rate increase
was presented (Agenda Statement dated August 23, 1977 stating Edco
Corporation indicates a requested rate increase for resfeential and
commercial properties in the City of approximately 3/to 33%; recently
the County approved an increase in dump fees of 150% effective September
1; this would add about 10.77% per single family resident to the cost of
collection; it appears that the rate increase is justified on the basis
of the increased dump fee and labor cost increase since the last
increase granted July, 1974; an approximately 10-33% rate increase for
residential and commercial properties would add 500 35 per single
family resident per month). Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid,favor of the increase except the firm will notart before 7:00a.m.

before Council in the form of an agreement; with this approved tonight

The Park Department's recommendation regarding RELANDSCAPING OF PARK-
WAYS, NE corner of Plaza Blvd., and Roosevelt Avenue (All four corners
at the intersection of Plaza and Roosevelt are occupied by small car
lots which are owned by Mr. Alton Beauchamp who has recently land-
scaped the NW and SW corners; the SE corner is scheduled for re-
landscaping shortly; Mr. Beauchamp would like to revamp the NE corner
at the same time. The problem is that there are four existing trees
in the parkway at the NE corner, to remove these trees requires
approval of the Street Tree Committee which denied his request on July
21 until his relandscaping plans were submitted. Mr. Beauchamp
resubmitted his plans at the August 18 meeting of the committee which
wasn't held due to lack of quorum; the next meeting is September 15
which would cause unnecessary delay. Mr. Beauchamp hopes to re -
landscape the subject corner at the same time the landscapers are
doing the SE corner; he proposed to use carrotwood and evergreen pear
trees, both desirable parkway trees. It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Park Department that Council direct the Park Department
to transplant the existing parkway trees and allow Mr. Beauchamp to
relandscape the subject parkway.) was presented. Councilman Reid (a
member of the Street Tree Committee) stated that Mr. Beauchamp believes
this will greatly improve the corner; and that Joe Miyoshi believes he
can save the trees and transplant them to another spot. Moved by

save the trees. Carried by unanimous vote.

The HEARING on AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE Subsections 18.16.300 and
18.56.030, Subparagraph E, regarding reduction of required frontage
(A-6-77) was held at this time. City Clerk Campbell stated the
Certificate of Publication was on file. Planning Director Gerschler
stated the Planning Commission recommends approval; the intent of this
amendment is to remove the need for obtaining conditional use permits
for parcel maps which result in commercial lots with less than the
required frontage on a dedicated street; owners of such properties are
required to file covenants of agreement with the city to ensure
provision of access easements; this is a procedural change only and
allows for faster processing of such parcel and subdivision maps with -out diminishing code requirements. No one was present in this regard.

to the Municipal Code be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
