WINTER PARKING Doris Canniff, 3946 Glenview Avenue, appeared before ORD. a::MPIAINI'; Council to state her opposition to the recently enacted D. CANNIFF, 3946 winter parking ordinance, limiting parking on city GLENVIEW AVENUE streets between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Canniff explained that she has numerous relatives visiting on holidays anj in the past all of her relatives were forced to leave her home on a holiday due to parking restrictions. She suggested if a vehicle is not moved when the plowing occurs, the property owner be responsible for shoveling the snCM from that area. Canniff stated the 11:00 p.m. time limitation is too restrictive and advised she will circulate a petition amongSt residents to oppose the new ordinance. Dave Seaberg, 3167 Shorewood Drive, also stated opposition to the new winter parking ordinance. He explained it appears unreasonable to ill1pose the parking restrictions when there is no snow aCCUIlll.llation on the streets and 11:00 p.m. is too early to restrict parking. Mayor Sather explained the Public Works/Safety Committee and Public Works Supervisor recommended the 11:00 p.m. time restriction to allow sufficient time to clear the streets of snow anj complete sanding prior to the morning peak traffic. He advised the city does not employee a large staff, such as surrounding communities, and the process of plowing takes a longer period of time. . Leonard Grudnoske, 4445 Highway 10, explained that he does snow plCMing on a =ntract basis and therefore is synq;athetic to both sides of the issue. He stated that nonnally the plows do not begin removal of snow prior to 1:00 a.m. Counci1member GrCMe stated that most of the residents stating opposition to the new ordinance have expressed displeasure with the 11:00 p.m. time restriction. She favored amending the ordinance to restrict parking between 1:00 and 6:00 a.m. Counci1member Malone re:ruested the Public Works Supervisor cornroent on reduction of the time period. Winkel explained his preference would be to discuss a reduction in hours with his employees to determine if the maintenance can be accorrplished in the shorter time period. Growe moved, seconded by Sather, to direct staff to =ntact the city Attorney anj request a draft amendment to Ordinance No. 272, winter Parking Regulations, chan;/ing the hours from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., to 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., for =nsideration at the November 13 Regular Council meeting, and to re:ruest staff input at that meeting, regarding the chan;/e of hours.
