Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R. Hanson <br />Email: cityhall @ci.little - canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: October 6, 2000 <br />RE: Parking on McMenemy Road <br />Since we have posted "No Parking" on a number of City streets, we have been receiving calls <br />asking why. We have explained that it has been the City's policy to post streets with on- street <br />paths as "No Parking" to improve pedestrian safety. We have also explained our parking permit <br />procedure and that we make it very easy for residents to obtain permits on short notice. <br />Two parties have asked to address the Council on this matter to resolve what they feel will be <br />long- standing problems. The first is St. John's School and the difficulty they have with faculty <br />parking and parking for special events. (See letter attached). The second was addressed by Rick <br />and Bev Collova of 2500 McMenemy who indicate that there are many times that unplanned <br />gatherings occur at their house where their driveway area is not sufficient to accommodate <br />parking. Given the time of day this would occur, it would not be possible to get permits. <br />Staff is discussing what could be done to issue permits in these situations. We may have some <br />ideas by Wednesday's meeting. However, we are not sure any good solutions exist that would <br />not circumvent the entire purpose of the ordinance. <br />These parties will be present to discuss their concerns with you. If you desire any additional <br />information in the meantime, please let me know. <br />\ \CLCSRVOI \HOME \KrisP \CORRESP\2000 \McMe <br />Page 24 <br />
