Page 1 of 3 DATE: December 21, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Sandeen Road On-Street Parking Background City staff recently received a concern from a resident regarding street parking on Sandeen Road. The resident reported that access can be limited due to the street’s narrow width when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street. The Public Works Department has also identified this as a concern, especially as it relates to emergency vehicle access and snow removal. In response to these concerns staff mailed a survey to residents along Sandeen Road in late October. The purpose of the survey was to gather information on residents’ current need for street parking on Sandeen Road and whether the neighborhood would support limiting street parking to one side of the street or prohibiting it along both sides. A copy of the survey and cover letter is included in Attachment A. Survey Results Staff identified 16 occupied properties that would be impacted by a change to street parking regulations on Sandeen Road (Attachment B). There are two rental properties on Sandeen Road and a survey was sent to the current resident at each property as well as the property owner. A survey was mailed to Presbyterian Homes, operator of the Johanna Shores senior living campus, which has a secondary access driveway on Sandeen Road. The City received a total of 15 completed surveys. A spreadsheet summarizing the survey responses is included in Attachment C. Two residents along Sandeen Road (3280 Sandeen Road and 3290 Lake Johanna Boulevard) reported not having sufficient off-street parking on their property to accommodate their parking needs or visitors. Both residents indicated that they or their visitors park on Sandeen Road on a daily basis. The remaining respondents reported using street parking occasionally. AGENDA ITEM - 1C MEMORANDUM
