RC Roll Call vote is needed.

MOTION:

Alderperson Hurt moved to deny the Special Use Permit request for the properties at 1600 Mill Street and 1700 1st Street; Alderperson Parker seconded.

DISCUSSION:

Mayor Thoms invited those wishing to speak regarding the Special Use Permit request.

Attorney Robert Duckels, representing Del's Metal Company (DMC), requested that Council defer any decision until DMC can complete a third-party environmental assessment and present it to Council. He invited those in opposition to complete their own third-party evaluations. He addressed the metal debris that was presented by DMC's neighbors and claimed that the debris was unreliable evidence. He handed Council DMC's response to the photos and videos submitted by Tom Unley, owner of Unley Marine, and went over the highlights.

Tom Unley said he owns property south of the main DMC building and across the street from the two additional properties. He stated he was concerned about the smoke and debris from DMC's activities. He said he has encountered a significant amount of metal on his property and customers' boats; his employees and customers have complained about the smoke. He said he was not opposed to DMC using the additional properties for storage.

Rick Jackson, owner of Jackson Auto Body, said his business is also located south of DMC. He said his business has encountered a considerable amount of smoke. He stated that he's witnessed DMC perform a significant amount of cutting on the additional properties.

Alex Jackson, an employee of Jackson Auto Body, expressed his concerns regarding the air quality.

Robert Hoffman, an employee of Jackson Auto Body, said he witnessed DMC violating the City's zoning code over the years. He questioned if DMC would be held accountable.

Alderperson Hurt said he was concerned about DMC's continuous disregard of zoning regulations. City Attorney Leslie Day stated the City was not currently pursuing enforcement proceedings against DMC while the permit request was open, but if Council denies the permit and violations continue, the City would pursue enforcement. Mr. Duckels commented that DMC was approved to maintain status quo operations until there was a final resolution. Ms. Day clarified that the City did not give DMC blanket permission to cut and burn on the properties. Mr. Duckels interjected that DMC wanted to cooperate and work with the City and was not purposely disregarding the City's authority.

Mr. Unley explained the content of the videos he submitted.

Mr. Unley, Rick Jackson and Jackson Auto Body employees stated they would not be opposed to DMC continuing operations so long as the health and safety issues were controlled, but they expressed their doubts DMC would adhere to any regulations set forth. Ms. Day clarified that if DMC was issued the permit and violated its regulations, the permit would be revoked.

Alderperson Tweet questioned if DMC would cease cutting operations on the two additional properties until their environmental study is complete. Mr. Duckels said he would like the opportunity to confer with DMC on the matter. Alderperson Robinson expressed his concern about failing to cease operations on those properties when the nature of the smoke is unknown. Mr. Duckels responded that DMC is regularly inspected by multiple government agencies and has never received a citation, so they were not aware of any wrongdoing.

Mayor Thoms suggested that if DMC is denied the permit, they could reapply for a permit after the environmental study is complete.

Alderpersons Tweet said DMC shouldn't continue to cut and burn without permission. Alderperson Swanson added that halting those practices should not be optional.

Alderperson Parker called the vote to question.

VOTE:

Motion PASSED on a 6-1-0 roll call vote. Aye: Parker, Poulos, Healy, Robinson, Hurt, Swanson. Nay: Tweet. Absent: None.

Alderperson Parker asked if there were any economic development programs the City could fund with CDGB funds additionally or alternatively to CIRLF. Mr. Brainard explained that the most common programs were revolving loan funds (RLFs) and small business grants; he said RLFs were similarly structured to CIRLF, and the grants were not very sustainable. He added that a third alternative, the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program, was for large-scale projects, which would take away from other CDGB activities. He added that alternative funding sources may be better suited for economic development, and staff are working to diversify funding sources.

Alderperson Parker expressed his concern about the lack of entrepreneurial programs. Alderperson Healy said the committee considered offering microloans but found issues with that process.
