Item #
Date: Augu t 23, 1983
SUBJECT: Ordinance establishing angle parking on portions of NE 2nd Street,
NE 3rd Street, and Des Moines Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Tom Hinders, 3324 Morningside, has placed a proposal before the City
Council regarding the establishment of angle parking in the 100 block of
Northeast 2nd Street and in the 200 block of Des Moines Street. The letter
from Mr. Hinders making this request is attached for reference.
Section 18.10, paragraph 2, paragraph C designates those streets on which
angle parking is permitted. Currently there are two city streets that have
angle parking established on them. The two streets are 5th Street on the
north side from Carroll Avenue to Duff Avenue; and Main Street between Duff
Avenue and Clark Avenue.
The area surrounding 105 through 107' Northeast 2nd Street currently has
angle parking provided. This evidently was accomplished a number of years
ago, however, the provision for angle parking at this location as well as at
other locations in the area has never been incorporated in the Ames Code.
The streets that currently are provided angle parking, but which are not
codified as having legal angle parking include Northeast 2nd Street between
East Avenue and Des Moines Street on both sides, Des Moines Avenue between
Northeast 2nd Street and Northeast 3rd Street only on the west side, and a
portion of Northeast 3rd Street from East Avenue to the west a distance of
seventy (70) feet on the south side of Northeast 3rd Street. Additionally,
Mr. Hinders is requesting that Northeast 2nd Street be allowed to have angle
parking between Des Moines Avenue and Duff Avenue on both sides.
The staff has analyzed the request as well as the existence of angle parking
in the area and find this to be a valuable addition to the parking needs of
the area. The proposal of Mr. Hinders would result in approximately 12 new
parking spaces being created in the area, and the reconstruction of the area
through the Urban Revitalization Program would be further encouraged with
additional parking spaces. Mr. Hinders has agreed to pay for the costs
associated with the construction of these angle parking spaces.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve an ordinance that establishes angle parking on portions of NE
2nd Street, NE 3rd Street, and Des Moines Avenue.
2. Refuse the request of Mr. Hinders to designate the 100 block of
Northeast 2nd Street as an angled parking zone. However, still pass the
portion of the ordinance which reflects those streets which currently
have angle parking, but which have never been codified.
