Board approves one reserved parking space for Hans Termite; discusses removing old reserved signs

The Board of Works approved reserving one parking space for Hans Termite, with the Chair and members agreeing to limit the request to a single spot directly in front of the building rather than the two spaces the business requested. The requested hours were described roughly as 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Chair introduced the matter in "other business," saying the business had requested two spaces but that the board had "mixed feelings" and would be willing to approve one. The Chair and other members referenced prior similar sign installations for local businesses, including a sewing business and Roser Recovery, as precedents.

The board recorded a motion to approve the request (identified in the transcript as "Councilman Dahl makes a motion"); a second was recorded in the meeting record and the board voted in favor. The Chair stated a preference for placing a single space "right in front of the building" rather than both spots the business asked for.

Board members also discussed removing a previously posted reserved sign for Schaub's chiropractor now that the property appears to be for sale; the Chair said the sign should be taken down and that the board might create a new sign if needed. There was a brief remark that the health department had earlier examined the building for a program but that the program did not proceed.

The motion to approve the Hans Termite sign and the discussion about removing an older sign were both handled during the "other business" portion of the meeting; no additional conditions or permit language were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
