Co Schellhous of Utt Juice Company explained that for years the dompany had been parking delivery trucks parallel to the building on the sidewalk in order to hoist glass delivery onto the Second floor. These deliveries are made once a week or once in two weeks. The curbing at this point on Prospect Avenue is depressed to permit a truck to get to the building. Mr. Schellhous asked how they can use this method and not be in violation of the law. Mr. Gill explained that parking on a sidewalk is ~n violation of the State Vehicle Code. Councilman Miller asked if there is any way to accommodate the utt Juice Company so loading can be done conveniently. Mr. Rourke stated that he did not see, at this time, how this ~ould be done. Mr. Schellhous stated that the entire sidewalk is obstructed du~ing these deliveries and that even if the truck was parked in the street, a conveyor to the building would obstruct the sidewalk just as much._?! Councilman Ring. said that as there is no heavy traffic by pedestrians on this street, it is not a particular hazard. On questioning by Councilman Klingelhofer, Mr. Rour~ suggested that this matter be referred back to the staff for some thought and study- Nothing in his opinion could be done at this time. Councilman Coco felt that at this point the only way a truck could park on the sidewalk was if it was declared ahazard on the street or a police officer orders you to park there. There does not seem to be a solution available at this time. Councilman Rip_~ felt that this matter should be referred to ~. Gill and Mr. Rourke to see if there is some ve~icle by which we could do something to help this situation. The Council is not equipped to give an answer tonight. Council Minutes 12/5/66 Pg. 5 Mayor Mack referred this parking matter to Mr. Gill, Mr. Rourke and Chief Sissel for study and report. 6. RECONSTRUCTION AND LANDSCAPING OF ISLAND AT FOURTH STREET AND IRVINE BOULEVARD AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF $1,700 IN UNAPPROPRIATED FUNDS, DEPARTMENT 5000, FOR THIS PURPOSE. Moved by Ring, seconded by Coco, that the request regarding reconstruction and landscaping of the island at Fourth Street and Irvine Boulevard be referred back to the Parks and Recreation Com~ssion for consideration as a budgeted item in the 1967-68 budget. Carried. 7. AGREEMENT WITH SANTA ANA FOR LANDSCAPING THE WARNER AVENUE CENTER DIVIDER BETWEEN THE NEWPORT FREEWAY AND RED HILL AVENUE. In reply to questioning, Mr. Gill stated that he felt eventually this cent~'r island should be improved. This is an unbudgeted item but there is an unexpended balance of $3,433.55 left from the amount budgeted for Warner Avenue construction. It would be up to the Council whether to use this surplus or budget the divider in next year's budget. The maintenance of the island would be done by Santa Ana at an estimated annual cost of $500.00 or $250.00 by each City. Mr. Gill said that it is his feeling the improvements of FOurth and irvine would have greater benefit to the City. Moved by Ring, seconded by Coco, that the Council defer this item until the 1967-68 budget. Carried. 8.
