Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 6, 2023 Page 3 Mayor Roe asked why the pathway is on the north side on the western portion and then moves to the south side as it moves to the east. Ms. Lowry reviewed the plans with the Council indicated there are parks along the pathway on both the north and south sides and people will need to transition depending on which direction to cross the street to get from north to south without have a pathway on both sides. Mayor Roe asked Ms. Lowry to explain what the criteria was for deciding where locations of the parking bays should be. Ms. Lowry reviewed the parking bay locations with the City Council. Councilmember Strahan asked what limitations,if any,would be placed on the uses of the parking bays. Ms. Lowry explained the existing City Code does not have a lot of parking restrictions so this would not be proposed to have different parking restrictions than are in place citywide. Specific to RVs, the City Code addresses that it can only be four days of duration. There is an existing code for that. There is also a code addressing trucks and as far as cars the City does not have restrictions on durations of parking unless it snows. Councilmember Strahan wondered if there has been any consideration of adding one set of parking on the two streets that had restrictions. Ms. Lowry explained per City Code, it calls for any road that is 24-26 feet wide to have no parking and that is mostly to maintain minimum widths for fire trucks and emergency vehicle clearances which is why those two streets have restricted parking and similarly why this road would as well. She explained without changing the code or without changing the width of those streets the City would not allow parking on them. Councilmember Strahan wondered what accommodations or plans were made for signing the curb in front of the park for handicap access so it would be provided and assumed in that area. Ms. Lowry explained staff has not gotten to that but will work through that in detail design with parks and what their standard and expectations are. Councilmember Schroeder asked as far as the assessment, when part of the project would be billed to the residents.
