MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 23, 2013 Superintendent also recommended that no parking between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. be designated in this area so that residents will not start to use the street regularly for on- street parking. The Superintendent noted the responses that were received from Payne Avenue residents relative to this matter. Blesener suggested that if the recommendation is adopted, that the Council review it in 9 months to see if it is working with no problems. Montour asked the process for obtaining a parking permit. The Superintendent explained the process. Montour felt that the parking permit request should be able to be filled out on -line and submitted electronically. The Superintendent noted that the only concern is that permits have to be processed during business hours, so last minute permits requested on the weekends would not be able to be processed. However, staff will look at the current on -line process and make any changes necessary so residents can fill out and submit requests on -line. Keis agreed that the LaBore Road /Payne Avenue intersection was a difficult one. He felt that the no parking designation on both sides of the street should extend further than 50 feet back. McGraw agreed. Montour noted that the area designated as no parking impacts four abutting properties. Keis pointed out the no parking area on the other end of Payne Avenue adjacent to the utility tower island. Keis suggested that when staff is processing parking permits for this area, they should ensure that an adequate amount of no parking area be maintained in and adjacent to the narrow section of road around the island. The Superintendent indicated that he would look at this area. Jim Meyer, 643 LaBore Road, reported that he made the request to eliminate no parking on one side of Payne Avenue. Meyer reported that while the City has been accommodating in issuing parking permits, it is a hassle to obtain the permit, at times he has forgotten to get a permit, or friends drop over unexpectedly. Meyer felt that decreasing the amount of no parking in this area would eliminate the need for most of his parking permit requests. Meyer stated that he was hoping that the no parking could be eliminated 50 to 75 feet back from the intersection. Boss asked about input from other property owners on this issue. The Superintendent indicated that those responding preferred that the no parking remain, but the primary concern was with the LaBore Road /Payne Avenue intersection. 8
