FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Approximately $70 to paint curb
DESCRIPTION:
Staff received a letter from Mr. Roger Smith, owner of Pack and Ship at
6398 Dougherty Road, requesting a time-limited parking zone on Dougherty Road
in order to allow his customers room to park. A number of the businesses in
this area are auto-related, and both the on-site and on-street parking spaces
are heavily used by employees of the businesses and for vehicles waiting to be
repaired or waiting to be picked up. Mr. Smith's business involves a packing
and shipping service for the general public, and he is also in the process of
establishing a branch post office. He expects the post office to open
approximately September 1st. His fear is that potential customers will be
discouraged by the lack of available parking. His customers would typically
conduct their business and leave within a short time.
TJKM, the City's traffic engineer, investigated the location and spoke
with Mr. Smith, and they have agreed that approximately 190 feet of 20-minute
parking would be adequate. As noted on the diagram attached, there is a fire
hydrant located near the center of the 190 feet, which would reduce the actual
20-minute parking space to 160 feet (CVC Section 22514 requires that 15 feet
on either side of a fire hydrant be a no parking zone) . This would provide
20-minute parking for approximately eight vehicles. The remainder of the curb
in front of this business complex would be subject only to the City-wide 72-
hour parking limit.
The City's Traffic Ordinance (No. 55-87) provides that 20-minute parking
zones may be established and that the curb color will be green. Thirty feet
of curb would, however, be painted red at the location of the fire hydrant.
Staff has notified the businesses located in this complex regarding the
proposed 20-minute parking zone.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, waive
the reading, and introduce the ordinance establishing a 20-minute parking zone
on Dougherty Road in front of Pack and Ship.

Mr . Lee Thompson, City Engineer
City of Dublin
P . 0 . Boy, 2340

Dear Mr . Thompson,
Pack & Ship is located at 6398 Dougherty Road, Suite 27 . I am
writing this letter in the hope that we can effect some changes
in the parking problem which now exists, and perhaps eliminate
one which is oncoming. Let me explain.
Over the past three months the City Police have tagged a number
of cars parked in front of the building over the legal limit . The
Police department belives that these cars are coming from a local
office which is using the City towing service to dispose of
unwanted auto ' s . Needless to say we do not need to provide
services for which we are not going to be paid.
In addition Paclz, & Ship has just been awarded a contract with the
U . S . Postal Service to open a branch station. As you can well
imagine this is going to increase the Need for short term parking
space .
I would propose the following: Paint the curb from the North end
of the building (near the railroad t.ac'.-z:s ) down to the South end
(next to Dublin Mini Storage) for 30 minute parking.
This should eliminate long term parking and the related car
disposal business and also provide :needed short term space for
Postal Customers .
I wo1.21d lire to further discuss this with you. You can reach me ,
at your ccnveinence , call Pack & Ship ( 828-7231 ) . Thank you for
your attention to this matter .
Sincerely,
Rogen& Smith
