Session 1734, Minutes November 2, 1998 8 He remarked that the people at Precision Tool are very agreeable people and that, possibly, some kind of satisfaction could be found through them directly. He mentioned that he would be happy to help Mr. Watson talk to them. Mr. Munkel thought that Mr. Ollendorff and his staff could investigate this matter and possibly vehicles, such as conditional use, or buffering, to somehow reduce the noise from the factory and the school district. It may also need to be revisited to make sure that the requirements of the ordinances are still being met. Mr. Watson suggested pointing the exhausts out toward the street or to the east. This may help the noise. Trees could help buffer the noise. Jack Frohlichstein, 700 Trinity, said that he was concerned with the number of municipal employees that were parking around their homes. There have been instances where police or fire personnel will park their vehicles around their homes for twenty-four hours, claiming that there was no parking up at City Hall. He suggested that maybe signs denoting, private street or subdivision - no parking, should be displayed at strategic points. He said that the kid's balls from across the street at Delmar-Harvard, are always going out to the street or into his yard, and he is afraid that someone will get hit. Sheila Bee, 6900 Cornell, said that she lives directly opposite from Delmar-Harvard School and has spoken to Mr. Ollendorff about this problem. Municipal employees continue to park on the yellow strip directly opposite her driveway where they are not supposed to park. It is very difficult for them to come in and out of their driveway. She believes there will be an accident eventually. It is not so bad if the people were just visiting City Hall and were not there for very long, but most of these cars are owned by employees who work at the Residential Center and at City Hall, because they are there all day. She believes that this problem can be handled in an easier way than just calling the police to issue parking tickets. Mr. Frohlichstein said that, with the advent of the new street paving, there are some areas that are catching water, which eventually dries up and goes away. He thinks this could be a problem, however, and should be looked at it before the contract is paid up. Mr. Munkel said that there was only a couple of things that could be done about the parking and these would be to ticket cars, if allowed, or the area could be made into a tow away zone. Mr. Munkel asked if the City had any authority in a private subdivision. Mr. Schoomer said that in this case, the responsibility was solely the trustees.
