MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO DATE: JULY 14, 1988 SUBJECT: NO PARKING ON FAIRCHILD AVENUE Attached please find a letter from the three property owners residing at 2765 Ardan Avenue, 8255 and 8265 Fairchild Avenue requesting the placement of "No Parking" signs on the east side of Fairchild Avenue from its intersection with Ardan Avenue north to the north end of Groveland Park and stating the reasons for their request. Upon receipt of the request, I consulted with Police Chief Ramacher and City Engineer Ric Minetor on the matter. Police Chief Ramacher advised me that the Police Department has not received complaints regarding the parking problem in the past, particularly blockage of driveways, although the residents have stated that the problems are occurring on a weekly basis. Also, Police Chief Ramacher discussed the ramafications of the request with one of the property owners, i.e. the placement of "No Parking" signs in front of their properties will apply to them as well as the individuals causing the problems. The property owner stated that they would be willing to deal with that in order to rectify the current situation. City Engineer Minetor has recommended that four signs be located between the intersection of Ardan Avenue and Fairchild and the north end of Groveland Park with the location of the signs being selected by the Engineer after approval by the City Council and based upon best traffic engineering practices and the limitations of the area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council authorize the placement of four "No Parking" signs between the inter- section of Fairchild Avenue and Ardan Avenue north to the north end of Groveland Park on the east side of Fairchild Avenue with the locations of the signs being determined by the City Engineer.
