Thompson, Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: RECOMMENDATION: 1) Resolution 2) Location Map t/~N~d/Adopt Resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating Budget to cover the minor cost of approximately 81 feet of red curb. DESCRIPTION: This item was initially on the Council agenda for consideration at the February 5, 2002 City Council meeting. Council requested that this item be continued to this February 19, 2002 meeting and directed Staff to contact the Little Kids Learning Center at 11760 Dublin Boulevard to discuss this proposed No Parking zone prior to this February 19 meeting. City Staff did meet with the Director of the Little Kids Learning Center on February 6, 2002 and discussed the proposed No Parking zone. The Director of the Center expressed support for this proposal since it would enhance traffic safety in this are~and the adjacent Bay Tree Business Park (where the red curb is being proposed) offers off-street parking for employees and visitors. As previously stated in the agenda statement for this item on February 5, 2002, the City's Public Works Department recently received a citizen request to prohibit on-street parking in front of the Bay Tree Business Park office building at 11750 Dublin Boulevard, as shown on the location map (Attachment 2). This request was based on a concern that outbound vehicles from this office complex have a limited visibility of oncoming traffic on Dublin Boulevard as a result of vehicles parked between the office complex driveway and the adjacent driveway to the east for the Little Kids Learning Center. The Bay Tree Business Park has only one driveway for both ingress and egress. This driveway is limited in width and can only accommodate one vehicle at a time. There is a concern that on-street parking between this driveway and the Little Kids Learning Center driveway eliminates the option of using the shoulder 'area between the two driveways as a refuge area to stop safely before entering the office G: L4 GENMISC\agsta 11750 Dublin no parking_updated, doc COPIES TO: Larry Hoecker, Affiliated California Real Estate Donald Babbitt, Passport Homes Sue Romer, Little Kids Learning Center Oleg M. and Linda K.

As a result, a vehicle entering the office complex must stop abruptly inside the travel lane on Dublin Boulevard and risk a rear-end collision if another vehicle is using the driveway to exit. Prohibiting parking between these two driveways would reduce the potential for rear-end collisions at this location. Based on a field review by City Staff, it was determined that on-street parking should be prohibited in front of the office building at 11750 Dublin Boulevard due to safety considerations,' as described above. To implement this parking prohibition, Staff has determined that the City should install 81 feet of red curb in front of the office building at 11750 Dublin Boulevard, as indicated on the location map. Although parking for four vehicles would be eliminated by installing the No Parking zone, sufficient parking spaces would still be available on Dublin Boulevard, and the Bay Tree Business Park complex and other businesses in the area offer off-street parking for employees and visitors. The proposed red curb is located in front of an office building and would have no effect on parking conditions for the nearby Hansen Drive residential neighborhood. Staff from the property management company of Affiliated California Real Estate, representing the ownership of the Bay Tree Business Park, has expressed support for the proposed N° Parking zone to City Staff. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving 81 feet of No Parking zone in front of the Bay Tree Business Park office building at 11750 Dublin Boulevard.
