Residents living close <br />to Robert's did come into the Work Session to discuss this item. Mayor <br />Linke stated that he brought up the parking restrictions for Clearview <br />and Jeffrey Drive as he believes if the parking restrictions are <br />placed on Edgewood and Greenfield the parking problem will move down to <br />Clearview and Jeffrey Drive. <br />Teresa Lexcen, 5229 Jeffrey Drive, was not alerted to the parking <br />restrictions being suggested for Jeffrey Drive until 3:30 p.m., Friday, <br />she stated she was informed by a letter in the mail that there would be <br />a meeting on Monday evening to discuss these restrictions. <br />Mayor Linke explained that Jeffrey Drive was not on the list at this <br />time to receive restricted parking signs. <br />Ms. Lexcen stated that she spoke to someone in the City Offices on <br />Monday and that Jeffrey Drive was on the list and had been discussed <br />at the meeting on Monday night. Ms.Lexcen further stated that it would <br />be better if the City did not post Jeffrey Drive as she talked to the <br />people on her street and they have a wait and see attitude to see if <br />the parking restrictions on Edgewood and Greenfield cause the problem <br />. to move to Jeffrey Drive. Ms. Lexcen further suggested that residents <br />could be given large cards to put in the vehicles window and to give to <br />friends and relatives that stated, "Residential Parking Only Permit". <br />Ms. Lexcen also stated that the problem is that Robert's needs an <br />overflow lot for parking. Ms. Lexcen further stated that the <br />establishment has become popular because it has good bands and draws <br />persons from as far away as the southern suburbs. Personally, Ms. <br />Lexcen stated that the signs are a bandaid to the real problem. Ms. <br />Lexcen believes that patrons of Roberts will park 3-4 blocks away to <br />listen to the bands. <br />Mayor Linke stated that the owner of Robert's is looking into an <br />auxiliary parking lot. <br />Teresa Lexcen, 5229 Jeffrey Drive, asked if anyone from the City had <br />gone into the establishment and checked the occupancy for violation of <br />code. <br />Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that the owner of Robert's <br />has been cited $100 per day for violation of code and that seating must <br />be removed in the establishment to be consistent with seating stated by <br />the City Code. <br />Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that Mr. <br />Waste had brought in a new site plan on Friday. <br />Orduno stated that the $100 per day fines had begun on Tuesday. <br />
