City of Falcon Heights <br />Planning Commission <br />November 28, 1994 <br />Number: 4 <br />ITEM: Request for recommendation to the city council regarding parking <br />restrictions on Tatum Street <br />REQUESTED BY: Fedir Chrun, 1794 Tatum Street <br />STAFF REPORT BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br />Carla Asleson, Planner <br />REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission (at October 1994 meeting) <br />EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION: <br />I. Background. <br />A. Underlying principle. Public streets are for use by the general public. <br />They cannot be exclusively restricted for use only by residents that live <br />on that street. <br />B. Parking policy procedures. The city parking policy identifies ways that <br />a parking problem shall be addressed in the city. It states that when a <br />resident requires a parking problem to be addressed by the city, the <br />resident must submit a written request for review that includes <br />information about the problem. After receiving the written request, staff <br />evaluates the parking situation and reports to the planning commission <br />and city council. <br />II. Request. <br />Mr. Fedir Chrun of 1794 Tatum street submitted a request for considering the <br />parking along Tatum Street (attachment 1). Staff received informal comments <br />about the increased parking along Tatum from two other residents at other <br />times during the fall and summer. In Mr. Chrun's statement, he identifies that <br />parking along the street has increased during daytime hours over the past <br />several months. He finds two parking problems: 1) it is difficult to walk along <br />Tatum Street due to the number of cars parked along there during the day and <br />2) it is difficult to pass vehicles on the street. <br />• <br />1 <br />
