HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Council Action Form dated January 25, 1994 i O�,D 30 COUNCIL ACTION FORM CA� Item # Date: January, 1994 SUBJECT: Ordinance for parking prohibitions in Brookview Place Subdivision First Addition. BACKGROUND: During the review of Brookview Place Subdivision First Addition, staff indicated to developers that parking prohibitions should be designated along one side of subdivision streets. This measure is needed to provide a safe street width for passage of local traffic and emergency vehicles. Streets included in this subdivision are Kansas Drive, Virginia Circle, Nevada Circle, Maryland Street, Ohio Circle, Texas Circle, California Avenue, and Nebraska Avenue. Staff has determined that parking prohibitions are necessary since subdivision plans call for 27' and 31' street widths. With these widths, parking prohibitions are needed to provide a two-way traffic flow. With parking present on both sides of the street, the available street width for traffic is reduced to 15', or one lane of travel. When this parking is present, it not only creates a hazardous situation for traffic, but also restricts access by emergency vehicles. The developers, Hunziker and Furman, requested that parking prohibitions be designated along the south side of Virginia Circle, Nevada Circle, Maryland Street, Ohio Circle, Texas Circle, and along the west side of Nebraska Avenue and on the east side of California Avenue. Currently, parking prohibitions are designated along the north side of Kansas Drive. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Designate parking restrictions along the south side of Virginia Circle, Nevada Circle, Maryland Street, Ohio Circle, Texas Circle, and along the west side of Nebraska Avenue and on the east side of California Avenue. 2. Modify the prohibitions. 3. Do nothing. 4 1 CAF - Brookview Place Subd.
