Roll Call 3. Approval of Minutes January 9, 2013 – ACTION ITEM 4. University Drive at West Point Ct Parking Restriction Please find attached Traffic Request Form submitted on January 3, 2013 by Cathie and Bill Ott, residents at 365 West Point Court, requesting that the parking restriction be eliminated on the north side of University Drive from West Point Court intersection to across the street from 7430 University Drive; or that residential permits be assigned to them to be able to park on University Drive near their home. According to the requestors, there was a temporary relief from restricted parking at this location in the past and the signs were removed, and unfortunately the removal of the parking restriction was not codified in the Municipal Code. The current restriction reads as follows: 10.44.020 - Parking prohibited on certain streets during designated hours. The following streets or parts of streets are designated as places where parking is prohibited during the time set forth in this section within the meaning of the title: University Drive: On the north side thereof from Hanley Road to Jackson Avenue between the hours of nine a.m. and eleven a.m. on every day of the week except Saturday, Sunday and holidays. The Department of Public Works and Parks recommends that if the parking restriction is no longer needed on University Drive, then it shall be removed completely, instead of lifting the restriction just at a small section of the block. Parking restrictions exist to alleviate non-resident parking problems, to provide City services or to improve traffic flow. If the restriction is to be lifted completely, or partially (one or two blocks), then it is recommended that a petition be originated by the property owners affected by the change and include signatures from over 75% of the property owners of record. 5. Clemens Avenue at Westgate Avenue Parking Restriction 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. www.ucitymo.org 1
