Excerpt from Minutes of the Yakima Downtown Association meeting 7/13/06
NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of Dumpster Location for Sports Center
Bill Cook explained that Chris Malland, the new owner of the Sports Center Restaurant,
is seeking resolution to a problem with their dumpster location. The dumpster for the
Sports Center is currently located nearly a block away, behind Yakima Federal Savings
and Loan. This situation is inconvenient for the employees of the Sports Center, and has
created an aesthetic problem for the bank. Andy Miller, of Urban Place, gave a power
point presentation related to dumpster issues/recommendations in downtown locations.
Urban Place is prepared to study this specific request and prepare a recommendation for
YDA.
Bill Cook stressed that the Sports Center needs an immediate short-term solution to
enable them to utilize space in the parking lot directly behind their building for a
dumpster. Jamie Stickel reminded the Board that YDA does not control the lots, but
instead serves in an advisory role to the City Council. It was the consensus of the YDA
Board members present to endorse the request to temporarily allow the relocation of the
dumpster to Parking Lot '2' until Urban Place is prepared to make a recommendation to
the City Council for a permanent solution. Bill Cook will present the request for the
temporary solution to City Council for consideration at their meeting on July 18, 2006.

AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM NO. 473 S3
FOR MEETING OF: JuIV 18, 2006
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of resolution authorizing approval of the issuance of
a temporary permit to the Sports Center Restaurant for the use of two parking
spaces in the City's downtown parking lot #2 (Millennium Plaza lot), with
conditions, for a period not to exceed 90 days.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Yakima Federal Savings and Loan has brought to our attention a concern they
have with the current location of a dumpster located in a City alley along the
south property line of their downtown Yakima Avenue office. This dumpster,
owned and maintained by Yakima Waste Systems, collects food related refuse
from the Yakima Sports Center located at 214 East Yakima Avenue. It appears
that many years ago, perhaps at the time the City parking lot #2 was built
(Millennium Plaza parking lot), the service alley behind the commercial properties
on the south side of the 200 block of East Yakima Avenue was converted to a
parking lot driveway.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution
BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution adopted. RESOLUTION NO. R-2006-113
As a result of this change, commercial dumpsters for three of the four buildings
on this block are now located in the alley west of South Second Street, right
outside the south public entrance to Yakima Federal Savings and Loan. The
fourth building, the Olive Garden, built a notch into their building to provide a
dumpster enclosure. There is some history to the Olive Garden's attempt to
locate their dumpster in the City's parking lot #2, not unlike the request you are
considering today.
It would appear that for many years, the food service activities at the Yakima
Sports Center did not generate the volume of food related refuse to create the
problem we have today. However, the new Yakima Sports Center, with its'
success has brought a significant increase in the use of their commercial
dumpster and grease recycling storage. As a result, customers entering the
Savings and Loan from Yakima Federal's parking lot are likely to be
overwhelmed with the visual and aromatic.
This issue was discussed with the Yakima Downtown Association on Thursday,
July 13, 2006 and together with help from Urban Place Consultants, a
recommendation was discussed for a 90 -day temporary solution while a more
permanent fix is developed. The recommendation is a temporary use agreement
to allow the Yakima Sports Center to erect a temporary enclosure on two parking
spaces behind their building in the Millennium Plaza parking lot and to maintain
the surface of the parking lot in its current condition and keep it clean throughout
the duration of the lease. During the 90 days, Urban Place Consultants, with
input from surrounding downtown businesses and City staff will develop a
permanent solution to this problem.
