MAYOR BAILIE TRANSPOSED REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS IN ORDER TO CONSIDER ITEM 10-A,
MEETING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS ON SOUTH 10th AVENUE.
Mr. James Ajax, City Engineer, opened meeting by stating staff felt it would be
desirous and appropriate to install left turn pocket on 10th Aveniie,�so.uth of "A"
Street. If council concurred, it would be necessary to eliminate on -street parking
on 10th Avenue, between "A" and "B" Streets..
A petition, signed by approximately ten (10) households, was presented in opposition.
Councilman Snider recognized concerns from an engineering standpoint, but was
more sympathetic with small businesses in area which needed on -street parking for
their livlihood. One business was a physician's office who needed the street parking
as well as their private off-street parking. Councilman Wilkins supported
Councilman Snider in this logic.
Mr. Ajax asked property owners if a small island inward about 100 feet from
South 10th and'i'l.A"..would hinder anyone.
Dr. John Overman stated 100 feet inward would come to his property. He reiterated
that their private parking lot which is shared with next door attorney's office,
would accomodate approximately seventeen cars. Of this amount, six are used by
employees at all times.
The engineering staff reported that 19 accidents had occurred in this area in
•..19.78'which was second-highest accident area, and rated 7th highest overall.
Mrs. Dorothy Overman emphasized that speed is what should be controlled on South
10th Avenue; further, area could develop commercially if parking were allowed.
Councilman Snider suggested skip alignment'.on 10th Avenue and not remove parking.
Mr. Adams moved that parking NOT be eliminated on 10th Avenue from "A" to "B"
at the present time. Seconded by Mr. Snider. Motion carried by roll call vote of
five (5). Councilman -Grigg abstained as property owner in area.
ELIMINATION OF PARKING ON COURT STREET:
Mr. Ajax reported that in addition to striping on Court Street, staff felt it
would be desirous to eliminate on -street parking on Court Street from 17th
Avenue east to 14th and possibly 4th Avenue. He felt this would be an improve-
ment as far as safety was concerned.
Mr. Charles Greer, 730 W. Court, felt that eliminating parking in the 700 block
would have a hard impact as the funeral home was located there, and often times,
cars are lined up both sides of Court Street during a funeral service.
Mr. Grigg moved that staff prepare an Ordinance for consideration of the Council,
eliminating parking on Court Street. Seconded by Mr. Wilkins. Motion carried
by roll call vote of six (6). (The City Engineer will have full report to
accompany the request).
