PUBLIC HEARINGS AND COUNCIL ACTION ON ORDINANCES RELATING THERETO: MAYOR HENDLER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON ROAD 34, BETWEEN COURT AND HENRY STREETS. Mr. Dennis Wright, City Engineer, reported that paving of Road 34 between Henry and Court Street is now complete and the pavement is ready for restriping. Staff had two proposals for restriping, one was to essentially replace what was existing prior to the LID which included the left turn channelization at Court Street and then to provide on-street parking on the remainder of the street. The other proposal would provide left turn channelization at Court Street, but leave the remainder of the street with a two-way left turn lane. Formal notice of this public hearing has been mailed to each of the LID participants, however, Staff did contact each local owner or manager to discuss the two proposals. Each of the property owners on the west side of the street indicated a preference for the elimination of parking and the inclusion of a two-way left turn lane. On the east side of the street, Coca Cola indicated they had no preference, generally, because they have a rather large off-street parking area. The only property owner fronting the street who indicated he wished to have on-street parking was actually one tenant in the mini mall at the SE corner of the intersection of Road 34 and Court Street. The mini mall did not have on-street parking prior to the improvement and would not have on-street parking regardless of the striping of the remainder of the improvements. With this in mind, it would be staff's recommendation that the street be striped with the two-way left turn lane, with the left turn pocket at Court Street. Mr. Dennis Jackson, Allstate Insurance tenant, stated there was no place for large trucks to turn around when they deliver merchandise, and without merchandise, they have no business. Following a brief discussion and review of area, it was suggested to postpone action until the next regular meeting in order to give staff and mini mall tenants an opportunity to work out a solution. Mr. Bob Simpson, owner of Simpson Chrysler/Toyoda, was opposed to any delay as he was in the process of purchasing the mini-mall. Part of his plans included the enlargement of parking lot which should be sufficient to accommodate present tenants. Mr. Henry Kidwell expressed his concern on how the street came about in the beginning. He felt it should have been a council decision whether to make it a three or five-lane street. Staff replied that council did make the decision in -2- MINUTES REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 6, 1983 1970 when the Auto Park was being proposed.
