HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Council Action Form dated April 9, 1996 Item # LAO Date: April 9, 1996 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITIONS FOR THE HILLSIDE SUBDIVISION, 2ND ADDITION BACKGROUND: During the review of the Hillside Subdivision 2nd Addition plat, staff indicated to developers, Hunziker and Associates, that parking prohibitions should be designated along one side of the residential streets within the subdivision. These streets include Webster Street, Dickenson Avenue, and Doyle Avenue. This measure is desired to provide a safe street width for the passage of traffic and emergency vehicles. Currently, parking is prohibited on the west and east sides of existing streets within the Hillside Subdivision 1 st Addition. Staff believes that parking prohibitions should be designated on these streets with widths of 27'. With this street width, parking should be prohibited on one side to accommodate a two-way traffic flow. If parking was allowed on both sides of the street, the available street width for traffic would be reduced to 15', or one lane of travel. This would not only create a hazardous situation for traffic, but also would restrict access by emergency vehicles. The developers, Hunziker and Associates, have requested that the parking prohibitions be designated along the north and east sides of the three residential streets (Webster Street, Dickenson Avenue, and Doyle Avenue). Staff concurs with this measure, since the parking prohibitions along other existing streets in the subdivision are on the same side of the street. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Prohibit parking along the north and east sides of Webster Street, Dickenson Avenue, and Doyle Avenue within the Hillside Subdivision 2nd Addition. 2. Do nothing. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative number 1 , thereby, directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting parking along the north and east sides of Webster Street, Dickenson Avenue, and Doyle Avenue within the Hillside Subdivision 2nd Addition.
