CityCouncil | 2017-07-18 | 23 | Mr. O'Neill responded he cannot speak for the franchisee. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the hours are in the UP or can the franchisee change the hours. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the franchisee can change the hours. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Mr. O'Neill would be amenable to not extend the operating hours beyond the current operating hours. Mr. O'Neill responded he would prefer not to be limited to the hours. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Mr. O'Neill is committing that cars would not block the sidewalk. Mr. O'Neill responded Big O' Tires would do their best to not block the sidewalk. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Big O' Tires is committing to not parking in the metered spaces. Mr. O'Neill responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie inquired why the City is not enforcing parking in the metered spaces and not paying, which is illegal. The City Attorney responded the question is for parking enforcement. Mayor Spencer inquired how staff encouraging the current operators to find a different location impacts the City's ability to clarify the terms of the UP for the new owners. The Assistant City Attorney responded staff encouraged the current operators to find a different location because of the success of the business which would be better suited in a larger location. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City telling the current operator to relocate when the matter had not even appeared before Council is legal. The Assistant City Attorney responded that he would be surprised if the Planning Board or City staff would have told an occupant to leave. The Assistant Community Development Director stated City staff never told the operators they need to leave; there were many public hearings and two and a half years of meetings with the operators being told that they are not complying with the UP conditions.
