2FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating
Budget to cover the cost of painting curb and/or removing signs.
DESCRIPTION: At the December 7th meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution
establishing a one-hour parking zone in front of the 6891 Village Parkway (Kids Again and Dublin
Plumbing Supply)and introduced an ordinance which would repeal a 20-minute parking zone in front of
the Post Office to allow unrestricted parking. Also at the December 7th meeting, it was requested that red
curb be provided adjacent to the post office driveway for sight distance purposes. The red curb already
· exists and is included in the Traffic Code so it appears no further action is needed in that regard.
As indicated in the Staff report for the December 7th meeting~ Staff noted that there is actually a white
curb in front of the post office. A white curb normally designates a passenger loading zone. In 1990, the
City Council adopted an ordinance repealing a passenger loading zone and establishing a 20-minute
parking zone in front of the Post Office, but it appears this change was not made on the street.
Unrestricted parking would now be of more benefit to the post office than either a passenger loading zone
or Iimited parking.

ITEM NO. 6 -~ 1
Because the existing public record states that this area is a 20-minute parking zone, it is recommended
that the City Council repeal the 20-minute parking zone in from of the Post Office. This will allow
approximately 96 feet (five car lengths) of unrestricted parking for employees and customers of the Post
Office and other businesses in the area.
Staff has contacted a representative of the Post Office regarding this change and has received concurrence
with the Staff recommendation.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading and adopt
the ordinance x:epealing the 20-minute parking zone.
