2077 W. LARPENTEUR AVENUE FALCON HEIGHTS, MN 55113-5594 PHONE (651) 644-5050 FAX (651) 644-8675 <br />September 13, 2004 <br />Dear Resident: <br />The City has received a petition asking for permit parking to be instituted on Lindig Street. The <br />reason for the petition is the number of parked cars belonging to non-residents, many of whom <br />walk to the UM campus. This makes it difficult for residents to fmd parking on the street. <br />The next step is a hearing before the Planning Commission, which will then discuss the proposal <br />and make a recommendation to the City Council. This Planning Commission hearing is <br />scheduled for Tuesday, September 28, 2004, 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. You are welcome to <br />attend and comment upon the proposal at that time. <br />The creation of a permit parking area is something the City does with great care and due <br />consideration in cases where residents "are encountering serious problems because of excessive <br />parking by persons who are associated with nearby nonresidential uses." The Planning <br />• Commission and the Council will weigh the merits of the proposal in terms of the well-being of <br />the whole neighborhood and the city. Your input is very important. <br />If permit parking is instituted on Lindig, signs would be posted stating the new parking limits. <br />Except for cars with permits, parking would be limited to two hours between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., <br />Monday through Friday. Parking permits would be available to residents of lots fronting the <br />restricted area for an annual fee of $10 each for the first two cars, $20 each for any additional cars. <br />A parking permit is only good for the vehicle for which it is issued, and that vehicle must be <br />registered at the eligible address. Temporary permits costing $1 would also be available. Having a <br />permit would not guarantee a parking space on the street; it only allows a resident to park longer <br />than 2 hours. Also, snow emergency rules and the city-wide 48 hour parking limit still apply to all <br />vehicles, with or without a permit. <br />More information can be found on the City website at <br />http://www.ci.falcon-heights.mn.us/infoguide/parking/parking_permits.html <br />If you have any questions before the hearing, please contact me at City Hall, 651-644-5050, <br />during business hours. You may also comment in writing by email to <br />djonesC~ci.falcon-heights.mn.us or by regular U.S. Mail to the address below. <br />Suicerely, <br />Deb Jones <br />Zoning and Planning Coordinator <br />TREE CITY' USA <br />HOME OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND THE U OF M ST.
