City Council approved a lease agreement with Seasons Glory at its July 11 meeting to manage a food trailer park in the city.
Seasons Glory is run by Melissa and John Coronado, who have plans for up to eight food trailers, including one of their own, on a plot at the northeast corner of Farley and Short streets and a farmers market on an adjacent property.
"We were in the works of putting our own food trailer together and looking for a site, and when we approached the city, they mentioned they had already approved a property and were looking for a management partner, so it just kind of worked out," Melissa said.
The council approved the agreement on the conditions that the park or adjacent property have permanent restroom facilities; a ribbon curb constructed on the property; at least nine picnic tables; the surface of the property covered with granite; and water, wastewater and garbage disposal services on-site. The council also changed the lease agreement start date to July 15 and approved banning semitrailers and similar vehicles, restricting cold storage to within the food trucks or trailers on the property. Site improvements must be made within six months of the lease commencement date.
