May 14,_1990 • TO: PARKING COMMITTEE FROM: SUSAN HOYT TAFF, CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: MC ALLISTER "NO PARKING" REQUEST BACKGROUND On March 23, 1990, Ms. Susan McAllister, 1513 California, requested the Planning Commission to consider posting a "no parking" zone adjacent to her dwelling along the eastside of Arona Street betwee~l California and Larpenteur. The request was made because cars are parking on Arona alongside her home. Ms. McAllister reported that the parked vehicles create a safety hazard when she backs out of her driveway, and that the occupants of the vehicles leave litter and harm the landscaping in her side yard. She reported that the cars belong to the occupants of the apartment building on the corner of Arona and Larpenteur. The Planning Commission referred this item to the staff for research and the Parking Committee for its consideration. INFORMATION Existing Parking Regulations (See Figure 1) * No parking on Arona between Hoyt and California (By Council resolution in 1976 due to a state aid street.) * No parking on the western one-half block of Larpenteur between Arona and Pascal * No parking on the west side of Arona alongside Northome Shopping Center between California and Larpenteur * No parking along the west side of Arona north of Larpenteur (due to being a state aid street) On-Site Re ort Several drive-bys of the site indicated that from one to four cars were parked an Arona alongside the McAllister property at various times of the day. Some of these cars infringed on the five feet of space adjacent to the driveway, which can create a visibility problem for users of the McAllister driveway. Approximately two ~o three cars were also parked adjacent to the apartment building on the corner of Arona and Larpenteur. There were also about four cars on the eastern side of the Northome Shopping Center lot, possibly associated with the apartment building residents. There are nine garages and no off-street, surfaced parking for the ten-unit apartment building. On drive-bys on Pascal and Arona, staff noticed that parking was allowed adjacent to the single family dwellings located near apartment buildings on Arona at the end of Crawford and at Larpenteur and Pascal. However, there were not as many cars parked at these dwellings because some paved off-street parking was available • behind the units, and because parking was allowed on Larpenteur in front of the Arona and Pascal building.
