Roll Call 3. Approval of Minutes January 9, 2013 – ACTION ITEM 4. Clemens Avenue at Westgate Avenue Parking Restriction – ACTION ITEM Please find attached Traffic Request Form submitted on January 14, 2013 by Rev. Michael John Witt, representing 6403 Clemens Ave, requesting that the parking restriction be eliminated on the north side of Clemens Ave from Westgate Ave to Interdrive. According to Rev. Witt, this restriction was posted many years ago, to protect school children, but there has not been a school at All Saints Parish since 1971. The current parking restriction reads as follows: 10.44.010 - Parking prohibited on certain streets at all times. The following streets or parts of streets are designated as places where the parking of vehicles is prohibited at all times: Clemens Avenue : North side thereof from Westgate Avenue east to Interdrive Walk. The Department of Public Works and Parks recommends that since the only property affected by this restriction is 6403 Clemens Avenue, owned by St. Louis County Catholic Church c/o All Saints Church, and if the restriction is not needed any longer, restriction may be lifted and parking can be allowed along the frontage of 6403 Clemens Ave as requested. Municipal Code Section 10.44.010 will have to be amended to reflect the change. Rev. Witt was present at the February 13, 2013 meeting and presented his request. His comments are listed below: Rev. Michael John Witt spoke about the parking lot at All Saints Parish and its high parking demand. There are 61 spots in the parking lot and it gets busy during special events. Rev. Witt stated that there are “no parking signs” in front of the church because in the 1960’s, unwanted attention from motorists driving by peering at the children made people nervous. The school closed in 1971 and the parking restriction is not needed. The property affected by this restriction is 6403 Clemens. Around 10-13 automobiles could be parked along the area that is currently parking prohibited. 5. Street Cleaning Schedule – Parking Restriction Amendments – ACTION ITEM This request is submitted by the Department of Public Works and Parks to improve efficiency to the Street Cleaning operation, and to avoid conflicts with the Solid Waste and Recycling services. The request includes changes to parking restrictions on certain streets at designated hours for Street Cleaning purposes. www.ucitymo.org 1
