MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 2002 screening. Gossman indicated that they would be willing to provide whatever landscaping the City would want. John Isaacson, adjacent property owner on Park Street, indicated that he would like a fence along his shared property line with this development. Isaacson felt a fence would provide screening from headlights shining in bedroom windows and would prevent trespassing on his property. The City Planner reported that the developer would be required to provide screening from this adjacent R -2 property. Gossman indicated that they would be agreeable to putting up a fence on this shared property line. Isaacson indicated that currently some of his tenants have been parking on the Montanari property. He noted that once the land is developed, he will likely have tenants parking on the street. Isaacson was concerned that the business owners would park on the street, thus displacing his tenants from parking on the street. Another resident of the area suggested requiring a fence along the Park Street property line to keep the business tenants from parking on Park Street and walking across the grass to their offices. Scalze pointed out that the Isaacson property should have adequate on -site parking for its tenants and suggested that perhaps Park Street should be posted as no parking. Scalze pointed out the grades of the street are such that with on- street parking occurring on a regular basis, the result could be a hazardous situation. Montour suggested that he would rather see the area monitored at this point. If on- street parking becomes a problem, then the City can post the street as no parking. Fahey noted that the City has a parking permit process in place to accommodate occasional on- street parking for parties or special occasions. Gossman noted that these townoffices will be occupied by professional people and he did not anticipate they would be parking on the street and cutting across the grass to get to their offices. Gossman agreed that given the grades on Park Street, if on- street parking becomes a problem, the street should be posted. The City Planner indicated that the landscape plan as submitted will need to be modified. Anderson asked about signage. Gossman replied that they are planning for a monument sign at the Rice Street entrance, and will apply for the proper sign permits when their plans are finalized. Page 10
