CityCouncil | 2015-10-20 | 18 | staff does not know if the height of the containers exceeds the fencing; she would like someone to clarify the issue. Robert Hawke, Matson, responded there will be no stacking of cargo or parts outside the building; the lease could be amended to specifically say cargo will not be stacked and the building will not be used as a logistics facility; the facility is used strictly for warehousing ship repair parts. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired if Matson would be willing to restrict the number of containers; stated the lease could be revisited if the need arises. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he would like a way to quantify the number of containers. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if Vice Mayor Matarrese was concerned with the percentage or the actual number of containers. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he is concerned with truck traffic. Mayor Spencer stated that she would like to hear from Mr. Hawke. Mr. Hawke stated most of the containers used are approximately 40 feet in length, 8 feet wide. Mayor Spencer inquired on the height of the containers. Mr. Hawke responded the containers are 8 to 10 feet in height; a single container would cover approximately 240 square feet of space outside the building; width 30 in total, a small fraction of the outside area would be covered; does not see having more than 25 to 30 containers outside at a time. Mayor Spencer inquired what is the height of the screening. The Economic Development Division Manager responded she believes the fencing is 6 feet in height. Mayor Spencer inquired how many containers are currently at the site. Mr. Hawke responded they are at a rarely high number at 30 containers currently. Mayor Spencer inquired what the average number of containers would be for the site, to which Mr. Hawke responded 30 containers is the average. Mayor Spencer inquired even though it was stated there is currently an unusual amount of containers because of the move, 30 is also anticipated to be the average at the new site.
