COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON TIVERTON COURT AND STANGE ROAD
BACKGROUND:
In response to filing the Final Plat for The Northridge Heights Subdivision, 12th Addition,
parking regulations are required for this addition for the following new streets: Tiverton Court
and the extension of Stange Road north of Bloomington Road. The City is currently building
narrower local streets in an effort to calm traffic. This requires parking restrictions on at least
one side of a local street to provide emergency services adequate space to set up their
equipment. Tiverton Court is classified as a local street, which provides access to medium
density residential lots along the east side of Stange Road.
The existing portions of Stange Road are classified as "Minor Arterial," and this classification
will continue as the Northridge Heights Subdivision develops. Due to the nature of traffic
along an arterial street, parking will be prohibited on both sides of Stange Road from
Bloomington Road to its northern end. Therefore, the exiting Municipal Code section
18.31(251)(c) for Stange Road should be modified to read "Parking is prohibited at all times
on both sides from Clayton Drive to the north corporate limits."
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on
Tiverton Court for both sides of the street from its intersection with Stange Road for a
distance of 220 feet and thereof along the east side; to prohibit parking at all times on
both sides of Stange Road from Clayton Drive to the north corporate limits.
2. Reject this ordinance.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1,
thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit parking at all times on
Tiverton Court for both sides of the street from its intersection with Stange Road for a
distance of 220 feet and thereof along the east side; to prohibit parking at all times on both
sides of Stange Road from Clayton Drive to the north corporate limits.
