To: Ames Mayor and City Council CITY CLERIC
CITy OF AM ES,IOWA
From: Residents living on Burnham Drive between Chilton Avenue an a ey View Road
Re: Changing the No Parking side of Burnham Drive from the south side to the north side of the street
Please consider changing the No Parking side of the street on Burnham Drive between Chilton Avenue
and Valley View Road. Currently there is No Parking on the south side of the street and it is suggested
that this be changed to No Parking on the north side of the street.
There are 27 residences on this part of Burnham Drive, 26 are part of Waters Edge Town Home
Association and there is 1 single family residence on the west end of the street. All 27 residences were
petitioned and asked if the No Parking should be changed or left as is. The results:
16—Petition the city of Ames to move the No Parking to the north side of Burnham Drive
5—Continue the No Parking on the south side of Burnham Drive
4—No opinion,either side is acceptable
2—No response to the petition
The signed petitions are attached.
There are two main reasons for this request:
1. There are three fire hydrants on the north side of Burnham Drive. These fire hydrants take away
street parking and it might be safer to have that side of the street open in case of a fire.
2. There are 100 more legal feet of street parking on the south side of Burnham Drive compared to the
north side. With the concentration of residences on Burnham Drive street parking can be limited at
time and this would allow for a few additional vehicles to park.
The majority of residents living on Burnham Drive are in favor of this petition but it is not unanimous.
Please let me know when this petition will be considered and I will notify all residents on Burnham Drive
in case any of them wish to provide additional input.
Thank you

Dear WETA Members with a Burnham Drive Address:
The WETA Board of Directors had been asked by a WETA member to petition the City of Ames to move
the NO PARKING on the south side of Burnham Drive to NO PARKING on the north side of Burnham
Drive. We conducted an informal survey of WETA members on Burnham Drive last fall with 42%voting
in favor of the change, 23 %voting against the change, 27%voting that either side was acceptable and
8% not expressing an opinion. With no majority vote on the survey it was effectively tabled until this
spring.
The Board feels it is time to make the decision to either petition the City of Ames to move the NO
PARKING to the north side of Burnham Drive or let the issue drop.
There are three positive reasons to make the change:
1. There are 3 fire hydrants on the north side of Burnham Drive. These fire hydrants take away legal
street parking. The City of Ames prefers having NO PARKING on the fire hydrant side of the street for
safety reasons in case of a fire. (It is not a requirement to have NO PARKING on the fire hydrant side of
the street, but preferred.)
2. There are 100 more legal feet of parking on the south side of Burnham Drive between Chilton Avenue
and Valley View Road than on the north side. I measured 628 feet of legal parking on the south side of
Burnham Drive and 528 feet of legal parking on the north side of Burnham Drive. (Any curb length less
than 15 feet was not added in on either side of the street as it would not be legal for an average size car
to park there.)
3. On the higher density and more congested east end of Burnham Drive there are more linear feet of
parking concentrated on the south side than on the north side of the street.
The Board of Directors would like each of you to vote on the enclosed petition and return it to me in the
enclosed envelope as soon as possible. I will present the results at our annual meeting on Thursday,
May 2,2013. There will be time to voice your opinion and discuss the issue if you wish.
Thank you for your response,
Ron Shiflet
WETA Board of Directors
