HomeMy WebLinkAbout2023.07.10 Council WS - Notes from Rebecca Francik Thank y�u for this opportunity to address council as you grapple with new residential Design standards to provide much needed housing in Pasco. As you look at ways to vary the configurations of future housing stock I am requesting you keep garbage trucks in mind. Pasco currently has an efficient and mostty mechanized system for garbage collection. Drivers can get out of their trucks and hand carry garbage but it costs more to provide that service. With the design of new neighborhoods I am requesting you consider the following issues: 1. Currently Garbage trucks are held to the fire truck standards. This is �aery useful when considering a turn radius's but it's an apples ta oranges comparison when considering function. Fire trucks are stationary once they arrive. a. Garbage trucks come down your street a minimum of 1 time per week and depending on your recycling choices and the mix of housing types you permit in the future, you may see as many as 3 garbage trucks coming down your street every wee k. 2. Garbage trucks should never back up — they have limited visibility and major blind spots when backing up a. It is always preferable for garbage collection to have through streets that allow trucks to keep moving forward 3. I have brought minimum standards for Cul de sacs� �'�"� ��. �� ' b�n°r�s which I will leave with your clerk but we request this council avoid them. When garbage collection is missed because someone parked in a way that blocks our trucks the public is always upset to have their service disrupted. � 4. Many new urban design standards use narrower streets to promote a community feeling. When implementing this design, keep in mind where you want the garbage cans put out on garbage day. If you allow on street parking on a narrow roadway you may have to place your garbage can in the middle of the street impeding garbage trucks and the traveling public alike. 5. When blending commercial multi-family units with single family residents you are putting two types of garbage service side by side. This is not problematic, but it does require two garbage trucks coming down the street to serve the same neighborhood. All Developers of mixed use and residential neighborhoods should submit their plans to Basin so we help them evaluate their plans and ensure there is proper collection access for cans and dumpsters. If garbage service is planned in advance of planning and construction it becomes much cheaper for the public. This council prides itself on providing cost effective solutions. Failing to consider garbage in residential design means you will have to decide whether the total community subsidizes inefficient, Non mechanized service or whether you will create differently tiered pricing structures depending on the limitations of specific community designs. I hope these points allow you to make informed and thoughtful choices about your future residential design standards. Basin looks forward to serving Pasco with any choices you make. Thank you for your time. ��� <. � �� � �� � � �� �� �� _� � � 1 r,�',,`�;. _�l� .r�`'" � �r.:^� � � 64'r�..� :'�. f�' �:, ^s.. � . xd,."

Hammerhead Service Standards Hammerhead tur'i��;arounds must be free and clear of any obstructions on the customers scheduled collection day for all trash services provided by Basin Disposal. • Example: N❑ parked cars, boats, RV's etc. on the sides ar end of the hammerhead o�astructing the drivers from being able to safely perform service. • Hammerheads m��t have (30) feet of unobstructed overhead vertical clearance for loading at all times. • Hammerheads or travel aisles leading to the �rammerhead shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width. If the hammerhead is not kept clear during s�rvice, possible customer service interruptions may occur, resulting in trash not being picked up on the scheduled service day. If trash services are unable to be collected on the scheduled service day due to an obstruction, and Basin Disposal has to dispatch a truck on a non-service day, this will result in additional service fees to the customer. � i,-�'+I , �� fI7• ��Nenaam AO'minlm�.arn --� 50`minlu7um � % {{--� I�f ALTERNAfiE � ALTERh1ATE � ; ' F�A�!!lMERHE/�D T�IRPl��A�taOUPVD � {ianreme+rhead�n-arouneia�r enFy br.used os��mergency Vch�le Asc�ss r�as pw:r Sa�tisrn 3.0�ar Tar tcampne'aryworh area furn.�rutmds. u���avaor. h �a.-�S�r� r e� s �` � � j��-i,��-� � � �fa �-�o-m�e� Gj�a%-�S
