LICENSES NOT REQUIRING PUBLIC HEARING

            24 HOUR BOWLING (60 Lanes) (Deferred from October 19, 1999)

P&G Bowling, Inc., 80 Newport Avenue                     

 

Roland Beauregard, 11 Wingate Road, Lincoln, Rhode Island is present and sworn.  He testifies that the Bowling Center was opened for 11 nights before he realized he needed a special license.  He says he hired 2 police officers and as far as he knew, he had the Police Chief's approval on both licenses. 

 

Mr. Conley states that the City ordinance does not allow to extend hours on Sundays between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.  Mr. Beauregard responds by saying that he doesn't know when the laws were written, but bowling alleys have been opened on Sunday mornings for many years.

 

Mr. Rogers questions the applicant.  He asks Mr. Beauregard if he is aware of the so called "Rave Parties" and the problems that result from these parties.  He reads a recommendation by the Police Chief that the licenses be denied because of information received from other Police Departments who have dealt with similar operations.

 

On motion of Mr. Miranda, seconded by Mr. Grant, it is unanimously VOTED to make the report part of the record.   It is noted that Mayor Larisa is absent for the vote.

 

After further discussion, on motion of Mr. Rogers, seconded by Mr. Grant, and on a roll call vote, it is unanimously VOTED to deny the license.  Mayor Larisa is noted for being absent for the vote.

(By Councilman Peter F. Midgley)

1.  Dumpsters

 

Mr. Midgley speaks about dumpsters being parked on city streets and public ways.  He says he is not trying to harass people, but they are a hazard to navigation, and he says he would like ordinances to deal with them.  Julia Forgue, Director of Public Works, reports that on how some other communities deal with the issue, i.e., varying degrees of permit processes, charging of fees, time limits, etc.  She speaks about a recommendation that the City develop a permit process, with the Council deciding on whether or not to charge a fee for the permit.  A time limit would be placed on the permit along with a time limit for emptying after it is filled. 

                       

Mr. Midgley says it would not have anything to do with dumpsters on private property, but would deal with them on city streets.  He requests that an ordinance be drafted.

 

 

2.  Trash Trucks

 

Mr. Midgley speaks about leaking trash trucks.  He asks Director Forgue if the trucks are required to have containments so that they don't leak, and she answers in the affirmative.  Mr. Midgley asks Director Forgue to speak to the company to resolve the problem.

 

It is noted that Mayor Larisa is now present - 8:20 p.m.

 

 

3.  Let's Not Make Scents

 

Mr. Midgley speaks about the odor coming from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

 

Mayor Larisa asks Director Forgue what the problem is and what can be done about it.  She speaks about the possible remedies, and says they are being looked into.

 

 

4.  Handicapped Parking

 

Mr. Midgley speaks about a program in Connecticut that uses handicapped people armed with Polaroid cameras taking pictures of cars illegally parked in handicapped parking spaces.  The information about the time and place is written on the back of the pictures, which are then turned over to the Police Department for the issuance of a summons. 

 

Major Wayne Gallagher says he has heard about a similar program and says his main concern would be the cost of the program, as well as the laws and enforceability.

                       

Mr. Conley states that the City already has ordinances which address handicapped parking violations, and suggests that an administrative mechanism to enforcement be put into place.

 

After further discussion, it is agreed that the City Solicitor will draft a Resolution with the parameters of the program.
