COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING PROHIBITIONS FOR THE AMES COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PARK, 2ND ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
During the review of the Ames Community Development Park, 2Id Addition, staff worked
with developers on plans to designate parking prohibitions on new subdivision streets.
These plans include parking prohibitions along both sides of the two streets, S.E.5th
Street and South Bell Avenue to accommodate truck traffic. This plan does conform to
City Subdivision standards established to allow safe passage of traffic and emergency
vehicles in the industrial zoned areas.
The proposed parking prohibitions along South Bell Avenue will extend north 1 ,300 feet
from the south end to the north boundary line of the subdivision. This street has been
constructed with a 31-foot width, sufficient to accommodate industrial traffic flow only. It
should be noted that on-street parking prohibitions also exist north along South Bell
Avenue where streets have been constructed with a 41-foot width. These prohibitions
restrict parking next to driveways and on-street storage of semi-truck trailers.
Parking prohibitions are also planned along both sides of S.E.51h Street since it also has
a 31-foot width. This segment of S.E. 5th Street extends 1,200 feet within the
subdivision. Future plans call for this collector street to be extended to Dayton Avenue
and be a part of the segment that will eventually be connected to South Duff Avenue.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Prohibit parking on both sides of South Bell Avenue and S.E.5th Street segments
that extend within the Ames Community Development Park, 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
on both sides of South Bell Avenue and S.E.5th Street segments that extend within the
Ames Community Development Park, 2"d Addition.
