people have 3-4 cars, with kids home, kids home from college, and we have a lot of difficulty even tagging cars in our own complex that are using resident and guest parking for 2 -3 days —those types of things. So that was when I put out a solution there. l wondered if there could be less units or what could be done to increase some of the space for the parking. This wonderful lady mentioned the Barone's night. I do enjoy the music and I'm very grateful that I don't need to park on the street, but I do see people coming down the end of the street doing U- turns, looking around so that traffic gets backed up. Sometimes I just want to get home and get to dinner and I see the traffic backed up all the way down here to Bernal as people look for parking. So if there's hope on that parking, that would be awesome with those spaces there. I also am concerned about the future homeowners and what their expectations are for parking on the street. I don't want to see those future homeowners coming into our guest and resident parking because I have to chase people out of my dedicated outdoor spot, even though it says "reserved" they are going to take it over. So I have to tag or tow them and l don't want to have to tow anybody out of that parking spot. Lastly, I would just say as you're coming north on Peters and you make that left turn onto St. John, there's a lot of traffic that comes down from the north and they have the right -of -way. They almost always kind of start to cut you off. They cross that double yellow line on Peters that runs north. So my concern there is future accidents that are going to be happening as more homeowners go in that direction. Commissioner O'Connor: What do you think about a limited time for parking on the street? Like a 2 hour or 3 hour limit? Behers: I think you'd have some unhappy homeowners who are currently needing to park on St. John for greater than 2 hours. I think you would hear their complaints of, you know what I need to leave my car out there half the day and now I have to move it after two hours. Maybe if there was resident permit parking, you know, like they do in the City, where residents get privilege, that could be an option, and maybe just the random guests that are just kind of coming and going would be limited to the two or three hours for the Barone evenings. That might be very helpful. Commissioner O'Connor: So you think currently homeowners are parking on the street as opposed to their designated parking? Behers: I think we have the garage storage issue that Nancy has brought up as well. It's very difficult to enforce, right? Plus, you have a neighbor that you're going to have to say, your garage is filled with storage and we're going to keep writing you up. Being on the Board we'll go through a number of notifications and then get to fines, but we're an all- volunteer board member so we have to take our personal time to monitor those things and it's not something that's very enjoyable to keep dinging your neighbors for what they're doing for their garages, what they're doing with their parking. They know where you live and they knock on your door and you've got a bigger issue going on then. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 8 of 18
