Susan McAllister outlined her concerns regarding problems
they have encountered with parking adjacent to their home.
They include: trampling of grass/flowers/trees; cars being
parked on the street during snow plowing/street sweeping causing
street not being properly cleaned; trash being deposited on
their property; and obstruction of their driveway access by

their property. Ms. McAllister noted that Arona is posted
no parking south of California.

REVIEW OF PROPOSALS FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Planner Susan Hoyt Taff reviewed the process for requesting
proposals. She said three proposals were received. All were
from well-qualified firms.

Commission to make a recommendation on a consultant to the
City Council by its April 25, 1990 meeting. He requested
input from Commissioners as to what process they wished to
use to make such recommendation. After a discussion, Commissioners
agreed to invite each consultant to make a ten minute presentation
with a five minute question and answer period at the April
23rd Commission meeting. Following these, the Planning Commission
will make a recommendation to the City Council. The Comprehensive

regarding storm water and traffic could be addressed in the
first part of the process.
