BACKGROUND Quarry Lane and Serpentine Lane are located just south of Valley Avenue, and the two roadways are part of Valley Business Park - a 60-acre business and light industrial park which also includes professional offices and neighborhood commercial. The storage of vehicles on these two roadways is an increasing problem. What started as an occasional trailer or recreational vehicle has grown into numerous trailers, large trucks and recreational vehicles. Police enforcement has provided limited benefit, as the large vehicles would leave the area for a short time only to return a few days later. The Valley Business Park's Board of Directors and Property Manager contacted the City to request a more permanent solution. DISCUSSION Staff reviewed the roadways and recommends installation of the, "No vehicles over 20 feet in length" parking restriction. This restriction is already in place on the adjacent roadways of Boulder Street and Boulder Court and the restriction has proven effective in eliminating vehicle storage on those two roadways. Signs were posted at the entrances to the business park to notify the businesses of the proposed change to the parking. Staff also sent postcards to each business on Quarry Lane and Serpentine Lane and the feedback received was supportive of the restriction from nearly everyone that responded. Two business owners (one on Serpentine Lane and one on Quarry Lane) expressed concern for the installation, as each business, upon occasion, needs to park larger vehicles on the roadway overnight. The business on Serpentine Lane has enough parking behind the building to park larger vehicles, but sometimes needs to leave early in the morning. Out of respect for the neighbors that back up to the Valley Business Park, the business owner parks on the street the night before. Similarly, the business on Quarry Lane upon occasion loads larger vehicles with equipment to be used the following day and parks the vehicle on the roadway in the evening. To address the short-term parking needs of these two businesses, staff recommends installation of "4-hour parking" on the street adjacent to 1057 Serpentine Lane and 1228 Quarry Lane. The 4-hour parking restriction would be in effect from 9 AM to 6 PM daily. Both businesses believe that the 4-hour parking will accommodate their needs, and the Valley Business Park Board supports the combined restrictions. u mitte• • : Fiscal Review: Approved by: /07'4- 1 Ellen Clark Tina Olson Nelson Fialho Director of Director of Finance City Manager Community Development Page 2 of 3
