COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITIONS FOR THE BENTWOOD SUBDIVISION, 3RD
ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
During the review of the Bentwood Subdivision 3rd Addition plat, staff indicated to
developers, H & F Partnership, that parking prohibitions should be designated along
one side of the residential streets within the subdivision. The two streets involved are
Cervantes Drive and Wilder Boulevard. This measure is desired to provide a safe street
width for the passage of traffic and emergency vehicles. Currently, parking is prohibited
on the north and east sides of existing streets within the Bentwood Subdivision 1 st and
2nd 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 were 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, H & F Partnership, have requested that the parking prohibitions be
designated along the north and east sides of the two residential streets (i.e, Cervantes
Drive and Wilder Boulevard). 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 Wilder Boulevard and
Cervantes Drive (from Thackeray Drive south and east to the circle radius) within the
Bentwood Subdivision 3rd Addition.
2. Do nothing.
