129 <br /> <br /> Ms. Karen Tracy, 3103 Weymouth Court, President of Pleasanton <br /> Meadows Association, indicated that several residents from the area <br /> have complained that truck parking on Pimlico Drive is becoming a <br /> problem because of McDonald's Restaurant, Bakers Square and the <br /> Shell Station. <br /> <br /> Mr. Larry McColm, 5776 Stoneridge Mall Road, property manager <br />for the Pimlico property where Trader Joe's is a tenant, stated <br />that contrary to the Staff Report, safety is not a problem on <br />Pimlico Drive, since there have been no reports of accidents caused <br />by parking on Pimlico Drive. He added that while some trucks park <br />on the street between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., these trucks do not <br />pose a problem and have not made the street a truck stop. He <br />indicated that parking on the street is needed for car overflow, <br />especially on weekends, and that it would be a mistake to eliminate <br />all parking on Pimlico Drive for vehicles that are less than 20 <br />feet in length. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver inquired if off-street parking was considered as <br />part of the parking standards requirements when the shopping center <br />was approved. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said no. <br /> <br /> Ms. Annie Jones, owner of Everett and Jones Barbecue, 4040 <br />Pimlico Drive, indicated that street parking is necessary for the <br />businesses in the shopping center because there are not enough <br />parking spaces in the lots for both customers and employees. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer inquired if a "No Parking" sign indicating the fine <br /> for violation can be posted on Pimlico Drive. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush replied that the current fine for a "No Parking" <br />violation for vehicles over 20 feet is $25.00. He added that a <br />recommendation could be made to the Municipal Court judges <br />regarding why the City would like to increase the amount of the <br />fine, and the approved fine could then be posted under the "No <br />Parking" sign. <br /> <br /> Mr. Don Cortez, owner of Team Hot Dog, 4040 Pimlico Dirve, <br />indicated that with reference to the sign on his van, advertising <br />for small businesses like his can have a positive effect, <br />especially in an area where there is a lot of competition. He <br />stated that parking on the street for vehicles under 20 feet should <br />~e ~!!oT~ed since fh~ ]~c~ ~ ~~n ~pac~ ~n fh~ l~t ~.n be a <br />negative impact on the businesses. <br /> <br /> ~. ~ercer ~a~d that the ~ ~v ~an na ~ n~ ~h~ ~h~ ~d and <br />post a sign with the fine for parking violations of vehicles over <br />20 feet.
