902 BROADWAY 2016-01-01 MF Import

To: File From: Marian Dent Date: April 4, 1985 Subject: 902 Broadway - Tire 3usiness Since the first of tne ye2r I have received several complaints concerning the aa.:wmilation of tires at 902 Broadway. The compla'�nts were cuncerns of t},e area being unsightly, tires falling �n the str�et or sideiaalk and becaning a danger to the public, t�ie possihility of another tire fire, and just plain storage o:` tires. I checked with the Fire Departrnent and the Pire Marshal said that Lhe tires alone were not a fire hazard. The point of igniticn for a tire to burn is extremely higli. I checked with the Planning Department ior possible zoning violations. The Planning Department indicated that the owner was given per- mission to conduct his tire business at this location based on the same type of business Dir. A1 Bolzer is conducting in the same type of Uusiness zone. The only restriction placed on D1artin's tire business at 902 Broadway tiaas the use of only 50$ of the property for recapping of the tires. Keeping in mind the information I acquired,I proceedecl to contact htartin on February Sth regarding the large moimds of tires he had at the location. He indicated that the discarded tires are removed on a weekly basis and transported to Ore�;on for disposal. The tires he planned to sell would Ue stored in racks for a neater appearance. A1artin also stated that he tiaanted to construct a sight-obscuring fence. I asked him to meet with Jerry Ervine in Planning to make sure that all the requirements that the Planning Department may have would be met. Since February 5th I liave talked witli b1artin at the site. He has made some progress but business has Ueen slow, as he indicated yes- terday, and making or purdiasing the tire racks is costly. I asked hiartin to move the tires situated along the sidewalk on Broadway. I requested him to move the tires Uack as far as the telephone pole and he said he ti��ould.
