CITY OF ~ ~~~ FALCON HEIGHTS 2077 W. L.ARPENTEUR AVENUE FALCON HEIGHTS, MN 55113-5594 PHONE (651)644-5050 FAX (651) 644-8675 May 15, 2003 Dear Resident: In March the City received a petition signed by 75% or more of the residents on Garden Avenue in Falcon Woods, asking for. permit parking to be instituted on that portion of Garden Avenue. 'The reason for the petition is the presence of pazked cazs belonging to non-residents who walk to the IJM campus. In accordance with the procedure set down in the City Administrative Policies, there has been a staff review of the petition and an assessment of the pazking situation on Garden and on adjoining streets. Only Garden is being considered for permit pazlcing at ties time; Howell,. Moore, Prior and Summer are not included in the petition. The next step is a hearing before the Planning Commission, which will then discuss the proposal and make a recommendation to the City Council. This Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 2003, 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. You are welcome to attend and comment upon the proposal at that time. • The creation of a permit parking area is something the Ci does with tY great care and due consideration in cases where residents "aze encountering serious problems because of excessive parking by persons who are associated with nearby nonresidential uses." The Planning Commission and the Council will weigh the merits of the proposal in terms of the well-being of the whole neighborhood and the city. Their decision is not a foregone conclusion, so your input is very important. If permit parking is instituted on Garden, signs would be posted stating the new pazking limits. Pazking permits would be available to residents of lots fronting the restricted area for an annual fee of $10 each for the first two cars, $20 each for any additional cars. Temporary permits costing $1 would also be available.
