F <br />• No. 95-03 <br />Date: 6/26/95 <br />CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br />PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION <br />RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ON TATUM STREET <br />WHEREAS, the city has a parking policy in place which sets forth regulations <br />and procedures for establishing residential permit parking; and <br />WHEREAS, residents on Tatum Street have experienced ongoing problems with <br />non-residential traffic and parking associated with the University of Minnesota; and <br />WHEREAS, through the years various types of signs to limit parking have been <br />placed in the area in an attempt to alleviate the parking problem which also limits <br />• parking by area residents, and creates confusion for residents and police; <br />WHEREAS, property owners have presented a request for residential permit <br />parking in accordance with the city's residential parking permit policy; and <br />WHEREAS, the planning commission, following their public hearing, makes the <br />following findings: <br />(1) The residential neighborhood is adversely impacted from heavy non- <br />residential traffic associated with the University of Minnesota which, <br />without parking restrictions, would create significant, chronic parking <br />from the U of M staff and students and associated blight from automobile <br />traffic. <br />(2) Residential permit parking will allow residents to leave a personal car on <br />the street when needed, yet reduce the negative impact from non- <br />. residential parking such as air pollution, noise and litter. <br />(3) Residential permit parking will keep streets free for residents to have <br />access to their homes and driveways and will preserve the safety of <br />children. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based on the identified needs and <br />conclusions, the planning commission of the City of Falcon Heights recommends to the <br />city council that Tatum Street be designated for residential permit parking. <br />
