39. MURPHY — Updating to the Holyoke ordinances of Uses – Defining restaurant
adding to SEC 2 Under Appendix A
Restaurant – a business establishment where meals or refreshments may be purchased
Restaurant Sit down: A building, or portion thereof, containing tables and/or booths for at least two-thirds of its legal capacity, which is designed, intended and used for the indoor sales and consumption of food prepared on the premises, except that food may be consumed outdoors in landscaped terraces, designed for dining purposes, which are adjuncts to the main indoor restaurant facility. The term “restaurant sit down” shakk not include “fast food establishments” but may also include “drive in – or take out” and food delivery services.
Restaurant, drive-in or take-out: Premises and building for the sale , dispensing, or serving of food, refreshments, or beverages. for Consumption in vehicles temporarily parked on the premises, or at tables, benches, counters and the like the majority of which are out-of-doors; or for consumption off the premises, may also offer drive-in or take-out and food delivery services.
40. MURPHY — Ordered that the finance committee meet with representatives from Whalley Computer Associates to review both the costs and impacts on the computer services provided to the city.
41. MURPHY — Ordered that the ordinance committee meet to discuss downtown parking meters in terms of the amount of time allowed & the price charged, as well as how we might increase the number of payment options available.
42. MURPHY — Ordered that the ordinance committee meet to discuss amending the demolition order regarding historical commission review to begin the process once a property has been listed by the problem property group. The goal of this would be to enhance the possibility of preserving structures, and to do so prior to extensive building deterioration, which then escalates costs.
43. MURPHY — Ordered that the DPW create much larger signage directing traffic on High St at least one street prior to each exit for downtown garage parking. I know businesses believe they are losing business because drivers miss the parking lot sign and then just don’t come back. I would suggest signage on both Appleton and Suffolk St.
44. SULLIVAN — That the funding conditions on the previously approved grant (Engine 9 Restoration) for $130,677 on 4/20 be changed from 12 months to 3 years for completion of work. All others remain the same.

46. VACON, MURPHY — that a written legal opinion be provided to clarify whether a legal notice to owners of a change of their current property zone to a zone that does not exist
in the zoning ordinances is proper and legal.
47. ANDERSON-BURGOS — that the tree located in front of 37 St. Jerome Ave. be trimmed. The tree has grown to the point where it blocks the street light making it impossible for residents to see the area.
48. ANDERSON-BURGOS — that the tree located near 105 Cherry St. be removed. The growth of the tree has made it impossible for residents to walk on the sidewalk.
49. ANDERSON-BURGOS — Ordered, that the City Council pass a resolution in support of the GREEN Act.
50. ANDERSON-BURGOS — Ordered, that the guardrails located in front of 233 and 237 Sargeant St be replaced. Over the years multiple car accidents have compromised the integrity of the guardrails, creating safety concerns for the residents if accidents continue to occur there.
51. BARTLEY — Holyoke amend its charter to provide for city council confirmation of all new mayoral appointments to the board of public works and the fire commission. Further, the charter be amended to provide for city council confirmation on any current appointees at the time of reconfirmation. Moreover, the Charter and Rules committee and the acting Mayor consider whether to allow a nominee to either or both boards to be appointed directly by the City Council as well as consider any other related actions. Refer to charter and rules.
52. BARTLEY — DPW install signage to indicate ‘dead end’ or ‘no exit’ at Roosevelt Ave. Constituent request.
53. BARTLEY, HERNANDEZ — The “no parking” sign proximate to 282 Cabot St be moved north and relocated as close to the street corner near Locust St. as possible. Purpose: this would provide room for additional parking near the two care facilities in this neighborhood.
54. BARTLEY, GREANEY, JR, SULLIVAN, TALLMAN — that the City Council bestow a proclamation to the Mt. Tom B-17 Memorial Committee in light of this year’s two-fold anniversaries including the 75th anniversary of the plane crash into Mt.

Land Court that the City shall withdraw its Motion for Summary Judgement regarding 11 Yale St. and that the City supports remanding the matter back to the Holyoke Zoning Board of Appeals for a hearing based upon facts as the Land Court suggested might be appropriate.
57. BARTLEY — The city council amend its zoning ordinances to no longer allow by automatic right a “residential care or rehab center” in RA, R1, R1A, R2 zones and to require city council special permit for such a facility to be located in any other zone. This would be exactly what the city uses for “boarding houses with 4 or more boarders” and very similar to what is used for Independent Living, Retirement, and Assisted Living. Refer to ordinance and law department.
