spaces for their staff and customers. 2. By reducing the number of parking spaces to 15, the property owner can resolve an erosion problem by installing a rain water garden in the
parking lot. If a parking shortage develops, the property owner shall restore parking to the area planned for the new rain water garden or seek to use parking from an adjacent or
nearby parking lot. 3. The property owner shall construct a trash enclosure to contain and conceal their two dumpsters as required by city code. The property owner shall work with
staff for approval of the design which must be compatible with the building and must have a closeable gate which also conceals the dumpsters. The trash enclosure shall be constructed
even if the rain water garden project does not take place. The trash enclosure shall be constructed by May 30, 2014. Seconded by Boardmember Kempe. Ayes – All The motion
