// e~ty or Elk --- Rver REQUEST FOR ACTION TO ITEM NUMBER Ma or and Ci Council 7.5. AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Administration ul 19, 2010 effre Beahen, Chief of Police ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Request fox No Parking Signs on Lincoln Street REVIEWED BY ACTION REQUESTED Requesting that the Council review this request for No Parking signs on Lincoln Street. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Clver the past two years, both the Police Department and the Ciry Code Enforcement Official have received over twenty complaints from residents in the 19000 block of Lincoln Street. This is a dead end roadway that ends in a cul-de-sac. The primary complaints have always been the same. Residents of one specific home were parking their vehicles, trailers, campers, and construction equipment either in the cul-de-sac, or on a Ciry owned easement that exists on the east side of the cul-de-sac. To resolve the trespass issue on City property, I had a letter from myself delivered to the offending property owner, advising them that the vehicles and other items (including a trampoline) must be removed from the City property immediately. The items were removed, and the City property was posted with signs that read "City Property-No Trespassing". While solving the off-road issue, another problem was created as now the many vehicles owned or related to the offending property owner are now left parked on the cul-de-sac, often for days at a time. While we can enforce the no parking longer than 24-hour parking violation, we find that often these vehicles do indeed move sometime during each 24-hour period of time. The neighboring residents are concerned that when a large number of large vehicles are parked in the cul- de-sac, services to the residential area are impacted. There have been days when garbage service can't be conducted because the refuse trucks can't turn to complete their route. The same would be true for large emergency service vehicles like fire trucks. The Code Enforcement Official has looked at the possibility of a potential home occupied business violation, but at this point he has not been able to link the many construction vehicles to a business being operated out of the offending residence. In order to preserve the right of way needed for safe travel of service and emergency vehicles, and to eliminate the nuisance of so may construction vehicles being parked in this residential area, I am asking C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser\Local Settings\Temporery Internet Files\OLK66\Action Requested.doc
