COUNCIL ACTION FORM
Item # v'
Date: October 6th, 1987
SUBJECT: Parking Problem on Ontario Circle.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Robin G. Formaker, 1305 Ontario Circle has submitted a letter to the
Mayor and City Council requesting that yellow curb lines be painted inside
the cul-de-sac at Ontario Circle. All residential units served by Ontario
Circle are condominiums. The inside portion of the cul-de-sac is con-
structed to provide for some parking spaces. These spaces are typically
utilized, and extra vehicles typically park along the remainder of the
cul-de-sac circle. The parking spaces within the cul-de-sac were devel-
oped privately with the stipulation that no city maintenance will ever occur
within the area of the parking spaces.
The staff believes that it would be appropriate to restrict parking along
the inside of the Ontario Circle cul-de-sac except for the area covered by
the parking spaces. This solution appears to be one that would provide
for safe and efficient traffic movements through the circle as well as force
on-street parkers to locate in off-street parking areas that are provided
for the condominiums.
This is the second request of this type. Parking adjacent to the
cul-de-sac circle is obviously creating problems for some residents. It
may be appropriate to prohibit all parking adjacent to cul-de-sac circles
except where parking spaces have been specially designed. A copy of a
memo addressing this issue is attached.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City staff to paint the cul-de-sac at the inside of Ontario
Circle yellow except for the parking spaces already provided.
2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance prohibiting parking
adjacent to all cul-de-sac circles.
2. Deny the request.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alter-
native number 1 above, thereby directing the City staff to paint the
cul-de-sac at the inside of Ontario Circle yellow except for the parking
spaces already provided. It is also recommended that alternative #2 be
approved thereby directing the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance
prohibiting parking adjacent to all cul-de-sac circles.
