REVIEWED BY
ACTION REQUESTED
Requesting that the Council review this request for No Parking signs on Lincoln Street.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Clver the past two years, both the Police Department and the Ciry Code Enforcement Official have
received over twenty complaints from residents in the 19000 block of Lincoln Street. This is a dead end
roadway that ends in a cul-de-sac.
The primary complaints have always been the same. Residents of one specific home were parking their
vehicles, trailers, campers, and construction equipment either in the cul-de-sac, or on a Ciry owned
easement that exists on the east side of the cul-de-sac.
To resolve the trespass issue on City property, I had a letter from myself delivered to the offending
property owner, advising them that the vehicles and other items (including a trampoline) must be
removed from the City property immediately. The items were removed, and the City property was posted
with signs that read "City Property-No Trespassing".
While solving the off-road issue, another problem was created as now the many vehicles owned or related
to the offending property owner are now left parked on the cul-de-sac, often for days at a time. While we
can enforce the no parking longer than 24-hour parking violation, we find that often these vehicles do
indeed move sometime during each 24-hour period of time.
The neighboring residents are concerned that when a large number of large vehicles are parked in the cul-
de-sac, services to the residential area are impacted. There have been days when garbage service can't be
conducted because the refuse trucks can't turn to complete their route. The same would be true for large
emergency service vehicles like fire trucks.
The Code Enforcement Official has looked at the possibility of a potential home occupied business
violation, but at this point he has not been able to link the many construction vehicles to a business being
operated out of the offending residence.
In order to preserve the right of way needed for safe travel of service and emergency vehicles, and to
eliminate the nuisance of so may construction vehicles being parked in this residential area, I am asking

Council approval to erect "No Parking Anytime" signs in the cul-de-sac on Lincoln Street, and 200 feet
on both sides of Lincoln west of the cul-de-sac.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated cost to install these signs is less than $400.
