PARKING ~ VMMI~Rq PROMIR['rEO; EXt~FrlLI~S," BY PROMi'MrI'ING <br /> <br />Bill No. 8128 was given its third reading. <br /> <br />Several citizer~ wished to o-~..~nt c~ this bill. <br /> <br />Mr. Jei-c~e Hewit-t, 6913 Roberrs, said he would like to buy a tl~ack but does <br />not have a driveway. He poin~ out the four-wheel drive vehicle he owns has <br />passenger plates but is larger than mmny trucks. <br /> <br />Mr. Jeff Mlite, 7730 Elene, said he owns a pickup truck which he uses in his <br />business and also has a driveway, but feels he m~st kee~3 his truck hidden be- <br />cause he has received a number of tickets when parked c~ the street. <br /> <br />Mrs. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, said people have never been told they could <br />not own or drive trucks, but only that they could not park them c~ the street <br />between 2 and 6 a.m. She did not agree there should he exceptions to this <br />law, especially that larger trucks would he allowed to park overnight with a <br />permit, as sanctioned by this bill. She felt the c~] ity of life and the es- <br />thetics of the City's neighborhoods will suffer. She asked the Council to <br />vote against the bill as it is not in tba City's best interest. <br /> <br />Mr. Sf~nban Glickert, 7750 Blackberry, also asked that this bill be defeated. <br />Ha felt others could do as he did--provide an a__~Te~=~hle parking place on <br />their own p~u~erty to avoid being tick_~a for parking on the street. In re- <br />sponse to Mr. Glickert, Mr. Ollendorff said five truck owners have received <br />permits so far. Mr. Glickert said trucks parked on the street de nothing for <br /> <br />for a few people. <br /> <br />Mrs. ~son felt that many citizens do not ura~,~tand the changes, and she <br />asked for clarification. Mayor Majerus said the changes enacted in February <br />for a six-month trial period permit owners of small trucks to park in their <br />M driveway or on the street overnig~lt with a city permit only if tbay have <br />no other place to park. Bill No. 8128 makes only c~e ch3nge--tha length of <br />trucks permit~a to park on the street increases f~a~ 200 inches to 18 feat, <br />which was the original reo-...~ndation of the Plan ~ion. At tba end of <br /> <br />Mr. Price ~nasized that trucks larger than those specified in the ordinance <br />will not be allowed to park overnight on the street uraer any cimmamstances. <br /> <br />Mr. ~a~B said it was known there w~uld be few who c~m] ify for permits, so <br />there will be little change in the numbers of trIacks parked cel the street. <br /> <br />Mr. James Brown, 1139 Mt. Olive, was ~ akxxEt the $25 cost of the per- <br />mit; however, Mr. ~f~ms said it cost less than receiving a $10 parking ticket <br /> <br /> <br />
