Motion carried unanimously. 7/11/88 MINUTES Helen Verbrugge, 1666 Coffman, presented the resident's request for a "one hour parking" zone on the east side of Coffman and issuance of resident parking permits. She advised that 1666 Coffman has 90+ units with 90 underground parking spaces and 53 above ground parking spaces for their residents. They are encountering University of Minnesota students parking all day on the east side of Coffman which is an area that the residents of 1666 Coffman desire to use as they live on the west side of the building and find parking on the street closer and more convenient for themselves, guests and family. Carroll advised that as a resident of the University Grove area she was of the opinion that the issue is more complex. She then advised that she had contacted the President of the Grove Association regarding a total review of the present parking practices in the Grove with the inclusion of the 1666 Coffman residents to develop a uniform parking scheme. Boche arrived at 7:45 P.M. Ted and Jean Watson, 1666 Coffman, advised that they have lived in the building for two years. Since there are only so many dedicated parking spaces for residents, they were of the opinion that if they were allowed to park on Coffman it would alleviate some parking problems. The area is more convenient for their guests and family. University of Minnesota students have caused the majority of the problems of not being able to park on Coffman during the school year and they should be made to use available parking on University property. PARKING REQUEST 1666 COFFMAN HELEN VERBRUGGE CARROLL BOCHE ARRIVES TED AND JEAN WATSON Carroll moved to table the issue until the next Planning Commission meeting and CARROLL if no action is taken by the Grove Association by the next meeting, the Commission should approve such parking request.
