To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 860, 1 Amending Title 1200 of the Mounds View City Code Relating to the Review and Recordation of 2 Plats and Minor Subdivisions and Plat Dedication Requirements and Amending Appendix E, 3 Minimum Planning and Development Fees and publish the summary report. 4 5 Council Member Stigney was pleased that the ambiguity regarding Park Dedication Fees would 6 be clarified through this Ordinance. 7 8 Mayor Flaherty agreed stating the plat recording timeline was also extended to assist applicants 9 in meeting the City’s deadline. 10 11 ROLL CALL: Hull/Stigney/Mueller/Gunn/Flaherty. 12 13 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 14 15 B. Resolution 7830, Approving a Layout Configuration for On-Street Parking 16 at Lambert Park. 17 18 Public Works Director DeBar explained that Lambert Avenue was part of the Area D Street 19 Improvement Project. Additional parking was needed along Lambert Avenue to serve Lambert 20 Park. Bump-out parking was being proposed along Lambert Avenue and several layout 21 configurations were then presented to the Council. 22 23 Public Works Director DeBar stated the Street Committee recommended 60 degree reverse angle 24 parking, which would allow for 19 parking spaces and one handicap space. The Park and Rec 25 Commission were in favor of 60 degree standard parking. Staff noted another option would be 26 90 degree angle parking, which allowed for 22 parking spaces plus one handicap space. This 27 option allowed for the most flexibility for traffic approaching the park. In addition, the public 28 was most familiar with 90 degree parking. Staff noted several members from the Street 29 Committee and Park and Rec Commission were present to take questions from the Council. 30 31 Council Member Mueller questioned why only one handicap space was recommended adjacent 32 to the park. Public Works Director DeBar explained one handicap space was required according 33 to ADA requirements. An additional handicap space would be needed if there were over 25 34 parking spaces adjacent to the park. 35 36 Council Member Hull asked the benefit of the reverse angle parking and questioned if the City 37 would be changing all of its on-street parking to this style. Public Works Director DeBar stated 38 it could be confusing if the reverse angle parking was used only at Lambert Park. He indicated 39 an overall parking change would have to be determined by the Council. 40 41 Council Member Gunn was in favor of the 90 degree parking layout configuration as this allowed 42 for the most parking spaces. She indicated it allowed cars to pull into the spaces from both 43 approaching lanes of traffic. In addition, residents could also back into the spaces. 44 45
