Childs <br />will investigate if grills are covered in the City Code. <br /> <br />Motion by Larson, seconded by Brandt, to WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF <br />AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEW BRIGHTON CITY CODE RELATING TO <br />RECREATIONAL FIRES. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Les Proper, Ci ty Engi neer, presented a supp 1 ementa 1 report on a <br />proposal to ban parking on County Road [-2. <br /> <br />A staff recommendation to ban parking on County Road E-2 between 1- <br />35W and 5th Avenue NW was made at the October 24, 1989, Counci 1 <br />Meeting. At that time, Council requested staff to further study the <br />need for a full-time ban and/or if banning parking on both sides was <br />warranted. <br /> <br />To determine if the parking should be banned for safety reasons, a <br />review of the accident history was made for the period January 1, <br />1989, through October 31, 1989. During this period, 16 accidents <br />were reported, 8 of which have written accident reports. Four of <br />the 8 written accidents involved personal injury and 1 involved a <br />parked vehicle. Seven of the 8 written accidents occurred at the <br />1-35W ramps or at the IlTIl intersection with 5th Avenue NW and were <br />not of the nature a parking ban would correct. <br /> <br />In conclusion, the County Road E-2 accidents do not justify a total <br />parking ban from a safety standpoint. <br /> <br />Staff recommends a parking ban on the north side of County Road E- <br />2. The north side is generally residential where visibility of <br />streets and driveways is most important for safety. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />First Reading of <br />Recreational Fire <br />Ordinance <br />Report 89-285 <br /> <br />County Road E-2 <br />Parking Ban <br />Report 89-286 <br />Resolution 89-155 <br />
