For the meeting on February 15, 2022 at 7 p.m. in City Council Chambers. Morgantown City Council Regular Meeting Highlights:
- ANNULLING A PORTION OF CAMPUS DRIVE IN PREPARATION FOR AN UPCOMING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
At the recommendation of the City Manager, this ordinance would annul a portion of Campus Drive in preparation for the WVDOH project to realign a section of Campus Drive to improve its intersection with Beechurst Avenue. The project is being coordinated between the City of Morgantown, WVU, and the WVDOH. The improvement project will be funded and completed by the WVDOH. Second Reading.- UPDATING THE CITY'S OUTDOOR DINING REQUIREMENTS TO ALIGN IT WITH STATE CODE
At the recommendation of the City Manager, this ordinance would update Article 906 of the City Code, switching from one outdoor dining permit type to three – consistent with WVABCA permitting rules. The three types are (1) sidewalk dining – extending your restaurant onto the sidewalk or street, (2) outdoor street dining – when the city closes a street and restaurants can place tables and chairs on the street and serve customers, and (3) outdoor dining – for extending restaurants’ service areas onto other properties (private or public) that aren’t in the sidewalk or street, this is only used if ABCA requires a permit and does not impose any additional city requirements on private property. The permit process is also simplified and a set of standards for furniture and equipment that restaurants can use on the street. Second Reading.- APPROVING A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR HERTZ AT THE MORGANTOWN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
At the recommendation of the Airport Director, this request would authorize a lease agreement with Hertz for 6 parking spaces at the Morgantown Municipal Airport. The term of the lease is five years, with month to month renewal options. Second Reading.- REVIEWING AN EASEMENT REQUEST ON A PORTION OF THE CAPERTON AND DECKERS CREEK RAIL-TRAIL
