Rogers Pastor Smith, with the 1st Baptist Church, was present to request authorization to pave his church's parking lot, at 4th str. West and 8th Ave. Pastor Smith's request would eliminate drainage requirements and striping of parking stalls. The area in question will be 51 feet by 84 and will be used primarily for a play area with parking of Sundays. Committee agreed to allow the concrete pad with no drainage collection, at this time, however, if a problem develops, the church must install an underground collection system and drain the area to the 8th Ave storm sewer. The church must sign an agreement, prior to constructing the pad, that they agree to install a drainage system if deemed necessary by the City of Laurel. There has been some interest in undeveloped lots within the City limits, and the minimum improvements required. The committee reviewed the agreement the City made with Mr. Wasson on South Woodland, and felt we could use that same agreement for small isolated areas that wish to develop. One exception to the City/Wasson agreement, however, would allow the small developer to install the asphalt surfacing at a later date when the adjacent area became developed. The developer would sign a waiver to allow the city to determine when the asphalt street would be required. The waiver would be required prior to issuing any building permits. Curb & gutter and sidewalk, however will be required in all cases. The School District indicated they would reevaluate the proposal from the City regarding a joint recycling program. The City agreed to furnish a large container for the school's use for one year to determine if the centralized recycling idea is feasible. The School District will also submit a letter of request to restrict parking on the north side of east 8th street, adjacent to the High School. They have already initiated the program of loading and unloading buses on east 8th, and painted the curb yellow from 1st Ave to the alley east of the school. The committee will act on their letter of request when received. ,x- The issue of Terry Fink's encroachment on 7th Ave was scheduled to be discussed, however, Mr. Fink did not attend the meeting. Motion by Bud Johnson and seconded by Gay Easton, to have the City Attorney write Mr. Fink a letter indicating the Committee would like Mr. Fink to attend the next scheduled Street/Alley Committee meeting, to allow the committee to express their concerns with the encroachment, and to try to resolve the issue. This will be the last effort by the committee to try to contact Mr. Fink, prior to, the committee making their decision on the encroachment. General discussion on the Container Site fees and policies. The new site is working well and there has been very few concerns. Asphalt surfacing of the site will take place when SID 110 is paved. Discussion regarding the alley access of the senior citizen's building. The problem will be review, perhaps a donation of in-kind service can be made to resolve the access difficulty. Jim and Andy will follow-up on the problem. respectfully yours, Ga 0 FIRE/AMB/POLICE 215 W. IST ST. .PHONE: 628-8737 OAX: 628-4641 CITY HALL 115 W. 1ST ST.
