Mounds View City Council September 28, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />• Utilities Committee's recommendation for anon-standard street design configuration for <br />Edgewood Drive between County Road H and H2 identified as Option 3. <br />Ken Glidden, 5240 Edgewood Drive, thanked staff and the Streets and Utilities Committee for <br />the time taken to discuss this matter and encouraged the Council to approve recommended <br />Option 3. <br />Dave Warwick, 5081 Edgewood Drive, stated his property is impacted by increased school traffic <br />and he believes Option 3 is the best option for the residents, school, and student safety. <br />Mayor Flaherty asked residents about parking on Edgewood Drive and sight lines when backing <br />out of their driveway. <br />Mr. Warwick stated he does not recall there ever being a safety issue with backing out of <br />driveways. However, there were past parking issues related to no parking on the west side when <br />Edgewood School was used as a Community Center, and residents wanted to force parking to the <br />other side. More recently, the school felt there was a safety issue and requested parking on the <br />east side of the street during school hours. Residents are allowed to park on the east side during <br />the summer and when school is not in session. <br />Mr. Glidden stated there is a parking issue at the school and residual area of no parking north of <br />• the school in the area that he lives. He explained this area is posted with "No Parking" signs and <br />if the signs are not needed, he would prefer the signs be removed. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
