Commissioner David Randolph
Mayor Thomas E. Lynch

Also present were - City Manager David T. Harden and City Attorney Jeffrey S. Kurtz
Mayor Lynch called the meeting to order and announced that this
meeting has been called for the purpose of considering:
Tri-Rail Request - Temporary Parking - Waiver of City Ordinances.
Assistant City Manager Barcinski stated staff has been review-
ing a request by Tri-Rail for a temporary parking facility north of the
existing station.
Ed Connelly, Director of Transportation for Tri-Rail, stated,
in order to continue this service to the public, they are requesting
that an emergency be declared, on a temporary basis, to waive those
codes that restrict the use of a portion of City-owned right-of-way off
Depot Road and a portion of the CSX property that lies adjacent.
Upon question by Mr. Mouw, Mr. Connelly responded that his
definition of a temporary parking facility would be a minimum of three
to six months. In addition to providing the maximum safety with regard
to parking, lighting and the walkway, he also assured Mr. Andrews that
security will be provided to protect vehicles from vandalism.
Dr. Alperin moved for approval to waive the parking, landscap-
ing and lighting codes, provided the lighting and safety is as indi-
cated, seconded by Mr. Randolph.
The City Attorney stated encompassed in that motion the Commis-
sion will be waiving the relevant portions of Section 2.4.7 (B) of the
Land Development Regulations on Waivers in order to allow the parking
lot to be built as presented tonight, and the declaration that this is
an emergency item, as this has not been advertised.
Dr. Alperin amended his motion to include the City Attorney's
statement, Mr. Randolph amended his second.
Mayor Lynch questioned, in the event that any further issues
present themselves, should the Commission allow staff to continue to
work with Tri-Rail and should that be included in the motion. The City
Attorney suggested that staff be directed to work on a Railway Agreement
or License Agreement for use of the City's property.
The Commission concurred to include a six month time limitation
and that it be included in the motion.
Dr. Alperin amended his motion to include the time frame, Mr.
Randolph amended his second. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr.
Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Mouw stated he feels there should be a condition added to
the motion relative to restoring the property to the then-current code
of the City, even though CSX is the property owner. The City Attorney
stated it can be included in the right-of-way agreement and does not
need to be a part of the motion.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 6:20 P.M.
