WILLIAMS BROS, SHOPPING CEN"TER m REPORT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION
At the regular meeting of July 25~h, 1967, °the ~~°ty Council had
received a complaint regard~ng the time of trash p~ckup a°t Will~cros
Brosa Shopping Cen°ter, and had re~erred °the ma°tter °~o #he Ple~nning r
Commission who determ~ned the °time of garbage collection was not a
condit~.on of grant3.ng iJse Permi°t Noo 38, and recommended °tha°t any
regulatians regarding garbage pickup would have to be de°termined by the
Council and supporting ordinanceso City Attorney Sh~.psey advised that
there were no provis~,ons within the Municipal Code by which °the Council
could regulate the t3me of garhage pickupo
Mr, Cattaneo fro~ the Soo County Sanitary Company staited '°that to
pickup later than B:OOAoMo would cause a hardship fox his company,
and agreed that he vaould allow no pickup prior to 7o30'A,M, each morning,
un~kil'such time as his business expanded and it woazld be economically
feasibl_e for hi.m to pickup la~er in the day, Mre Cole and Mr, W~lliam
Deane felt 7:30 A,M, was a reasonable compromise a°k this time, Mr, Sam
Cummins ~'elt the s°torage bins were inadequate as debr~.s was still left
outside of conta~.ners and created an unpleasant odor, and vaas unsightly,
°The Counail di.scussed the problem and generally agreed that it
was bns~cally a mat-ker of public relations between the garbdge company
and residen°ts of the area, and that i~k was their feeling that if Mre
Cat~tdneo, as he ag~eed, would continue ~to pickup af°ter 7:30 A,M, for
the present and as business dictates would strive for a later pickup,
in the futu~e, they felt he was mak~.ng every effort economically feasible
to cooperate,
D~rector Ande~son was instructed to inspect the Will~ams Brose
Sh~pping Cen°~er premis~s each dcxy for the next two tnreeks to asce~~~Qin
ifi add~.tional ~rash containers to maintain the area in a nea.t and orderly
