City of Falcon Heights <br /> Staff Report to Planning Commission <br /> November 28, 1994 <br /> Revised December 1, 1994 <br /> STAFF REPORT BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> Carla Asleson, Planner <br /> 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 /> I1. Request. <br /> Mr. Fedir Chrun of 1794 Tatum street submitted a request for considering the <br /> parking along Tatum Street (attachmcnt 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 /> III. Staff report. <br /> A. Background. <br /> 1. Tatum Street is the only through street between Larpenteur <br /> Avenue and Roselawn Avenue between Fairview and Cleveland. <br /> This, along with its location just to the northeast of Gortner <br /> Avenue, a major university access point, make it an identifiable <br /> free parking location for university employees and students. <br /> 1 <br />
