2. Extend the two hour parking zone north on the east side of Tatum to <br /> approximately 1804 Tatum Street to make the parking restrictions parallel <br /> on both the east and west sides of the street. If long -term parking is <br /> perceived to be a problem only by those residents living in the middle of <br /> Tatum, this option would eliminate their particular concerns while <br /> reserving open parking to the north. The planning commission would <br /> have the opportunity to extend the two -hour zone at a later date should <br /> the need arise. <br /> 3. Expand the two hours parking, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, <br /> along both sides of Tatum Street. If long term parking during the <br /> weekdays is perceived as a problem by most Tatum Street residents, this <br /> should eliminate this problem on weekdays. <br /> 4. Restrict the two hour parking to one side of Tatum Street only, extended <br /> from Roselawn to Larpenteur. This would lessen "bottlenecking" but <br /> would not increase vehicle turnover. <br /> Asleson commented that if two hour parking from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. became a <br /> problem for residents along Tatum Street, residential permit parking would be <br /> an option. This option would require that 75% of property owners in the <br /> neighborhood petition for permits to allow the residents to park without regard <br /> to the two hour posting. The permits cost $10 a year to offset administrative <br /> costs. <br /> Lindig Street could potentially become a problem if new parking restrictions are <br /> imposed on Tatum Street. One answer to this problem would be to also sign <br /> Lindig to two hour parking. However, staff would recommend leaving Lindig <br /> Street unregulated. Lindig is a narrower, Tess visible street that may not attract <br /> parkers. The planning commission would have the option of regulating Lindig if <br /> the need arose. <br /> Chairperson Barry asked for comments from the Tatum Street residents <br /> attending the meeting. <br /> Jim Cotten, 1760 Tatum, felt that safety was a big issue. He said Tatum <br /> carries a lot of bicycle traffic and the good condition of Tatum encourages high <br /> speeds. Frank Irving, 1745 Tatum, agreed that the parking situation on Tatum <br /> is a safety issue. He said with the traffic light on Larpenteur and Fairview, <br /> some come down Tatum to avoid Fairview. Also, pedestrians and bicyclers are <br /> out in the morning and afternoon hours with small children running out between <br /> the parked cars. <br /> Sarah Gregerson, 1890 Tatum, felt the speed of cars on Tatum and cars parked <br />
