BACKGROUND: A letter has been received from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anderson regarding vehicle parking problems in the 200 block of West Sixth St. and 500 block of South "C" Street (copy attached). Accompanying this letter was a list of ten signatures of individuals requesting additions to the existing parking limitations. The parcels where these individuals reside are shown in yellow on the attached map. DISCUSSION: The Police Department traffic section has reviewed the concerns outlined in the Anderson letter and have recommended, with concurrence of the Engineering Division, implementation of the following measures: Parking Zones 1. Modify existing parking zones to read "Two Hour Parking Tow Away Zone, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Saturday" on "B" Street both easterly and westerly of E1Camino Real and along E1Camino Real between Main St. and Newport Avenue/I-5 Freeway. 2. Add additional two hour parking zones (as described in No. I above) on both sides of Sixth Street between "B" Street and Newport Avenue in areas currently unmarked. Add additional two hour parking zones (as described in No. 1 above) on both sides of "C" Street between Sixth Street and the northerly cul-de-sac terminus in areas not covered by other recommended restrictions. Add additional two hour parking zones (as described in No. 1 above) on both sides of "B" Street between Sixth Street and t~he southerly cul-de-sac termi nu s. PARKING COMPLAINTS AT 200 BLCOK WEST SIXTH STREET AND 500 BLOCK SOUTH "C" STREET MAY 2, 1984 PAGE 2 e Install handicapped parking zones along Sixth Street adjacent to the westerly portion of 570 "C" Street and adjacent to 540, 550-560 "C" Street as shown in blue on the attached map. Red Zones 1. Install additional red curb on all approaches of the "C" Street/Sixth Street and "B" Street/Sixth Street intersections as shown on the attached map to improve intersection visability. I~ addition to these measures, the Police Department is seeking to modify the Tustin Municipal Code to include a section on continuous violations. These modifications would allow violators to be cited on a continual basis, i.e., once every two hours within a. two hour parking limit zone. None of these additional measures have been discussed with the residents/business persons within the affected neighborhood. It is suggested that prior to any approval by the City Council, that a meeting be scheduled to notify the neighborhood of said changes. Director of Public Works/City Engineer BL:jr cc: Sgt. Smith, T.P.D. April 24, 1984 TO: THE TUSTIN CITY COUNCIL FROM: Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Anderson We want to call your attention to the vehicle parking problem which exists in the 200 block of West Sixth Street and the 500 block of South "C" Street due to the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees and patrons of the garage located on the corner of E1Camino Real and West Sixth Street. We have contacted the City Council and Tustin Police many times and have asked for some kind of control over this indiscriminate parking of all types of vehicles, mostly in disrepair, and have received f~ll cooperation within the limits of City control. We contend with unsightly broken-down, junky automobiles, all sizes of trucks and motor homes lining our streets for days at a time; abusive language from the employees of the garage; men sleeping in these vehicles; litter left from the men working on the vehicles in the street or eating their lunches in the parkway. This past Saturday morning, a very large limb was broken from our avocado tree by . one of the employees who was attempting to park a 2 to 2 1/2 ton enclosed box-type truck directly in front of our residence. This same truck had been parked across the street for 10 days and had been ticketed by the police. Due to the above, we have conducted a survey of the residential and business personnel in the 200 block of West Sixth Street and the 500 block of South "C" Street and the consensus is that the most practical and advantageous thing to do is to ask that the above stated area (diagram attached) be posted for limited parking - i.e. two (2) hour parking between six (6) a.m. and six (6) p.m. Monday through Saturday. This would greatly enhance the overall appearance of these streets, and thus the community, as well as better utilize the limited on-street parking for both business and residences. We also request one handicapped parking slot on the north side of West Sixth Street at the easterly boundary line of the Anderson property eastward to the existing driveway to serve the needs of the totally handicapped person residing at the address of 570-M "C" Street. Attached you will find a list of signatures and addresses of those requesting limited parking posting. ADDRESS NAME~ ADEtESS ~ I'tVD .: o~.. iS' ' ~)1..I I~)Vd ' 0~'. -' 3A~ .... VN3OVSVd
