Temporary Parking Restriction on Groby Road In October 2008, temporary “No Golf Course Parking restrictions were implemented on Groby Road to prevent Ruth Park Golf Course patrons from parking in front of residents’ homes. As required by the ordinance, the City had up to one year to make a recommendation regarding the restriction. This request was considered at the December 2009 Traffic Commission meeting. However no action was taken at the December meeting due to a lack of a quorum. In November 2009, Public Works sent a survey to the residents asking which of three options the residents preferred: to keep the current parking restrictions, to implement a residential parking permit system or to remove the “No Golf Course Parking” restrictions. Public Works mailed the survey to a total of eight (8) property owners. Of the eight property owners, five (5) residents responded that they were in favor of keeping the restrictions. Three (3) property owners did not respond. At the December 2009 meeting, Mr. Schuman, resident at 8258 Groby Rd, provided pictures to the commissioners and requested that the parking restriction be allowed to remain and be made permanent. At the December 2009 meeting, Commissioner Bondareff questioned how UCPD identifies who is a Golf Course patron and who is a regular visitor. Mr. Schuman explained that he contacts the UCPD when he notices any nonresident/golf customer parked in the restricted area. At the December 2009 meeting, Mr. Mandelbaum, resident at 8250 Groby Rd. and William Field, resident at 7152 Kingsbury were also present. Mr. Field, spoke in favor of keeping the Golf Course parking restriction. th During the January 13 meeting, Mr. Calacci was called to speak by Commissioner Paterson. Mr. Calacci stated he and his wife are in agreement to keep the current parking restriction. Commissioner Brot made a motion to keep the current restriction that prohibit golfers to park on the south side of Groby from Old Bonhomme to Tulane Ave., and make it permanent. Commissioner Bondareff seconded this motion. Motion on the floor was unanimously approved. 2.
