<br />Message <br /> <br />09/13/2002 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />referring folks to other available lots when their lot is full and <br /> <br />explaining to them how to get there -- at least that is our experience <br /> <br />based on our monitoring of all of these lots in Roseville, and that was <br /> <br />my personal experience today when I took my daughter and a friend to <br />Roseville High and was told that lot was full but Maplewood Mall's lot <br /> <br />had room and I was given directions for getting there; <br /> <br />· Eight days into the Fair we in Roseville have received so far only <br />your complaint and one other, also from your household, about street <br />parking adj acent to a State Fair park-and-ride lot in Roseville; <br /> <br />· When we checked your neighborhood streets over the noon hour today <br />(Eldridge, Dellwood, Skillman) there were few to no cars parked there - of <br />course, today rain threatens and Fair attendance is probably down; <br /> <br />· Our Public Works Department is authorized to limit street parking <br />temporarily in particular exceptional situations - - please contact Public <br />Works Director Duane Schwartz on his mobile, 651-775-3505, if you see a <br />bad street parking situation in your neighborhood that you think may be <br />attributable to the State Fair; <br /> <br />· A more aggressive or widespread parking ban on city streets <br /> <br />during the State Fair may be viewed as unequal or inconsistent treatment <br /> <br />if it bans parking that is otherwise allowed on those streets at all other <br /> <br />days and times during the year, or if we were to take such action without <br />first giving all affected neighbors a chance to weigh in on the issue; <br /> <br />· If parking should be banned year-round on certain streets where <br />parking is currently allowed, that is a situation the City Council could <br />certainly address after working with the neighborhood; <br /> <br />· Police enforcement of temporary parking permits for neighbors and <br />their friends in a context of a temporary ban on street parking for <br />everyone else is extraordinarily difficul t to manage; <br /> <br />· Of course, if the Council wishes to give staff some direction <br />about these situations, in addition to the parking conditions the Council <br />has already created under the City Code and in addition to the conditions <br />Council has already included within the temporary use permits for the <br />State Fair park-and-ride lots, certainly the Council is free to do so. <br /> <br />Best wishes, <br /> <br />Neal Beets <br /> <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Neprash, Randy D [mailto:rneprash@bonestroo.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 8:21 AM <br />To: Neal Beets (E-mail); Deb Bloom (E-mail); City Council - Roseville <br />(E-mail); Craig Klausing (E-mail); John Kysylyczyn (E-mail); Dean <br />Maschka (E-mail); Tom Kough (E-mail); Greg Schroeder (E-mail); Duane <br />
