AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.C.
For Meeting of: May 12, 2026
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing Right of Way Use Permit Application
RL260019 for Michelsen Packaging Co. at 922 N 1st Ave
SUBMITTED BY: Robert Washabaugh, City Engineer
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Michael Pepper of Michelsen Packaging Company is requesting approval of a Right of Way use Permit
application number RL260019, for the long-term closure of Quince St from N 1st Ave to the alley just
east of N 4th Ave to allow for their exclusive use of Quince St to access their properties on the north and
south sides of the street. The properties are located at 922 N 1st Ave and are in the M-1 Light Industrial
zoning district. Engineering staff revied the application and recommends approval by the City Council.
Right of Way Use permits are processed under the provisions of Chapter 8.20, which requires review by
the code administration manager and final approval by the City council. The permit also requires lability
insurance as prescribed in Section 8.20.060, which will be provided to the Office of Code Administration
prior to issuance of any permit. Approved permits are valid for a period of one year, renewable annually.
This allows the City an opportunity to review any public health/safety/welfare issues that may need to be
addressed in subsequent years.
