COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PARKING REGULATIONS ON TIMBER RIDGE DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
On February 10, 2012, City Council referred to staff a letter from Chuck Winkleblack
regarding the existing parking regulations along Timber Ridge Drive in the Estates West
Subdivision located off of North Dakota Avenue. The letter indicated the current ordinance
prohibits parking on both sides of Timber Ridge Drive and that the residents in the
subdivision would like to see parking allowed along one side of the street.
After receiving the initial request from Mr. Winkleblack, staff found that the preliminary plat
had anticipated that parking be prohibited only along the north side of Timber Ridge Drive,
which is consistent with the City's normal standard, given the width of the road and that the
fire-hydrants/water main are also located on the north side of the street.
Following the review of the subdivision information and performing a field review of Timber
Ridge Drive, staff did not find a safety or operational reason to not allow on-street parking.
Therefore, staff recommends that an ordinance be drafted to revise Section 18.31 (345) of
the Municipal Code to prohibit parking at all times along the north side of Timber ridge Drive.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance revising the parking regulations on
Timber Ridge Drive to prohibit parking at all times on the north side of the road.
2. Reject this ordinance.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This revision would be consistent with the City's normal parking standards and practice.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance revising the
parking regulations on Timber Ridge Drive to prohibit parking at all times on the north side of
the road.
