REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />AGENDA SECTION'. ORIGINATING DEPT./DIV.' <br />Communications & Petitions Public Works Director <br />ITL... NO.. ITEM DESCRIPTiON. Discussion of Skillman Avenue Width <br />Project P-79-2 <br />MEETING 5� 6.80 <br />D AT E' <br />DEPT HEAD APPROVAL. <br />60 <br />pia. 4 <br />I <br />At the regular Council meeting of April 28, this poll was presented to the Council, <br />but due to the fact that only three members of the Council were present, the matter <br />was laid over to this meeting. Of the potential 51 parcels involved, signatures <br />representing 35 parcels signed favoring the 32 foot width with no parking; while 12 <br />parcels favored 36 foot with parking and 4 parcelswere unrepresentedh <br />It is still the staff viewpoint that parking is preferable along the roadway due to the <br />heavy residential nature and this has been confirmed by both the traffic engineer with <br />Short-Elliott-Hendrickson Associates and the State Aid District Engineer, Itis fel t <br />the individuals currently residing in the homes may favor having no parking, but those <br />that move in in the future will find the need to have parking,as is typical on all the <br />other residential streets in the City* <br />It, therefore, is the staff opinion that a 34 foot roadway would provide far morz <br />flexibility to deal with potential problems in the future along this roadwa-v. <br />a <br />If the Council wishes to reconsider their previously approved 36 foot authorization, <br />then it will require a 4/5's vote. If a change is madethen a new resolution shouli <br />be passed approving the upgrading of the roadway at the specified width and declarins <br />that no parking would be provided on either side of the street. <br />
