Falls City Council Tables Loading Dock Issue
05/06/2016

(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members tabled an agenda item this week concerning a loading dock recently built by Adam Eickhoff at his business at 410, East 14th Street.  

Earlier this spring, Eickhoff sought permission from the Council to gravel a portion of the City right-of-way to allow semi-trucks making deliveries to the business to do so without parking on 14th Street which is Highway 159.

Eickhoff apologized for building the loading dock without acquiring a building permit.

Concerns have been raised about the loading dock since it was constructed. Eickhoff said he does not have a lot of money invested if he needs to remove the loading dock, but noted it has saved a lot of time unloading trucks at the business. 

City Administrator Gary Jorn and Mayor Jerry Oliver have visited the business and relayed their concerns. Jorn says he is worried about city liability since the loading dock is at least partially on City right-of-way. 

More research on liability and checking on the location will be done before the next Council meeting.
