APPROVE COMMUNITY GARDEN PLOT APPLICATION & LEASE AGREEMENT/I0-13
Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to approve Community Garden Plot
Application/Guidelines/Fees and Lease Agreement for the property owned by Grace Lutheran
Church at the intersection of Nightingale Street NW and 151 st Lane NW.
Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the staff report with the Council.
Councilmember Knight asked ifthe plot corners will be permanent. Mr. Berkowitz stated as each
individual plot is rented they will put the name on the map and staff will mark the plots.
Councilmember J aco bson stated his only concern is on 151 st A venue and the concern for parking.
He stated they have discussed allowing cars to be parked on the property on the south side off the
street if there are problems. Pastor Hellmann indicated he did not have a problem with this.
Councilmember Bukkila asked what the City will do if they get complaints from residents regarding
dust blowing into their yards. Mr. Berkowitz stated there will be water on site and that should keep
0 the soil moist and if needed Public Works can water. Pastor Hellmann stated this happened years
ago and the church placed silt fencing on the property and could be done again if needed. He stated
they also met with the residents at the YMCA to get input and thought they might want to meet with
the residents again after a few months to see how things were going.
Councilmember Bukkila asked in regard to the lease, it is only for one year and if they do not
anticipate filling all the plots what would be their guarantee to get the money back if this should stop
before the money is recouped. Mr. Berkowitz stated there would not be any safeguards but they
could sell some ofthe soil back and there is a salvage value in the connections and equipment.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the application/guidelines/fees and the lease
agreement.
Councilmember Trude thought the lease was two years. Pastor Hellmann stated even if they are
going to be building there they will probably be on the back portion of the land so he envisioned this
garden to be there for awhile.
Mayor Gamache asked if they would advertise this at the March home and garden show. Mr.
Berkowitz thought this was a good idea and indicated it will also be in the next newsletter.
Mayor Gamache thanked Pastor Hellmann for all his help and generosity of the donation ofland use
to the City.
