I Council Meeting Minutes November 26, 1985 With regard to the first reading of the proposed parking ordinance amendment, Kelley stated that, per council's request, (1) a definition for strip shopping centers and, after a discussion with businesses, one emergency parking space per strip shopping center have been included in the ordinance and (2) recommended leaving the overnight parking the way it was originally, at least until after the snow season, based on a poll indicating there was no support for an overnight parking ban. In response to Blomquist's question, Kelley indicated the overnight parking in enforced more often during the winter than the summer and is enforced anytime during the year in response to a citizen complaint. Janecek questioned if the six-hour parking limit is being enforced and, if not, whether it should remain in the ordinance; Kelley indicated it was enforced less than vigorously because of the shift-overlaps and because the officers do not spend time looking for parking violations. Kelley noted the largest problem is in a commercial-residential-mix type of neighborhood and suggested leaving it at six hours but allowing council to direct for lesser or greater amounts in other areas. I Janecek indicated the Citizen Study Committee requested it be left as it reads; Kelley preferred a shortened time span (ie. four hours in busi- ness districts). and the Police Department could respond to residential violations on a response basis, but would not want to remove the item from the ordinance totally. Motion by Blomquist, seconded by Janecek, to WAIVE THE READING, AND HOLD THE FIRST READING OF NEW AND REVISED PARKING ORDINANCE SECTIONS 29-1, 29-7, 29-20, 29-21, 29-26, 29-30, 29-31, 29-32, AND 29-33. 3 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried With regard to a petition for street and utilities to serve proposed Bel-Air Park No.9, Proper recommended approval contingent on approval of the final plat.
