Farrell's clients and employees were parking on the street causing an <br />inconvenience for the property owners south on Greenfield Rvenue. The Council discussed wi#h <br />sfaff and fihe property owner various alternatives that cauld be �mployed to resolve fihe sifuafiion <br />j wi�hout imposing parking restrictions. <br />,-, <br />The Co�tncil asked Mr. Farrell if he woufd be willing fo expand his parking lot, fo which Mr. Farrell <br />responded in the affirmative; and the Council also discussed the pQSSibilify of allowing parking on <br />Greenfield direetly across from the building, but not any further south until beyond the 350-foot <br />location. Allowing parking on Greenfie[d across trom the business would leave two or fhree sialls <br />and if the parking lof were expanded by two stails, that could potentially resoive the parking situatio�. <br />While that may be true, the Counci! was told the Commissian had a(ready discussed the parking lot <br />expansion issue at length and was concerr�ed thafi any furfher expansion of ihe lot would be an <br />aesfhetic detriment to the neighbarhflod. The Council also suggested exploring the possibility of <br />striping for narrower parking stalls (i.e., 8"/z feefi in widfh instead of the required 9 feet) and whefher <br />that would cjenerafe mare stalls. <br />After considering ai[ of fihe fesfiimony and information presented, the City Council tabled acfian on the <br />requesf, �ending the issue back to the Pfanning Commission for addifionai review and consideration. <br />. .:. .: <br />Reconsider �he parking situafion and dimensiona� requirements and defiermi�e if there is a need <br />to amend fihe Commission's Resolution 71�-03 recommending IVo Parking on Greenfield Ave. <br />�Q��; "��-�� <br />� Jarr�es Ericson <br />Infierim City Clerk/Administrafor <br />
