Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action form dated August 22, 1995 0(8"-01 L 3 /� Item # 'I I Date: Au s 22 1995 COUNCIL ACTION FORM 1 SUBJECT: DESIGNATING PARKING PROHIBITIONS IN THE NORTHRIDGE PARKWAY SUBDIVISION 13TH ADDITION. BACKGROUND: During the review of Northridge Parkway Subdivision 13th 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 Goldenrod Circle, Tupelo Circle, and Evergreen Road. Staff had 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 north side of Goldenrod Circle and Evergreen Road, and also on the south side of Tupelo Circle. It is consistent with parking prohibitions on adjacent streets in the new subdivisions. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Designate parking prohibitions along the north side of Goldenrod Circle and Evergreen Road, and also on the south side of Tupelo Circle, as agreed to by developers in the Northridge Subdivision 13th Addition. 2. Modify the proposed locations of the prohibitions. 3. Do nothing. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative number one, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting parking along the north side of Goldenrod Circle and Evergreen Road, and also on the south side of Tupelo Circle, as agreed to by developers in the Northridge Subdivision 13th Addition.
