Main Street, presented a list contain- ing 17 families' names concerned about heavy and fast traffic on Main Street. Mr. Mitchell suggested placement of a stop sign or traffic signal at the intersection of Pacific and Main Streets. At Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy's request, the Police Chief explained the State warrant requirements and reported on the Police Department's enforcement of the 40 mph speed limit in an effort to decrease the 85th percentile over a six-month period, of which two months have expired. Councilman Greinke suggested more aggressive, strict enforcement is needed, whereby five to six citations are issued daily rather than the current average of two, to which the Police Chief responded that many drivers do obey the law and travel at or below the posted speed limit. Mr. Mitchell was receptive to Council~n Greinke's suggestion that the Police Department sup- ply the 17 families with a progress report on the continuing enforcement program.

T%IO--HO~R PAR~u~G R~TRICTI(~ - SANTA FE DR.LVZS The Chief of Police provided an oral report, stating that the area had been surveyed, business owners in the area had been contacted, and it is staff's reco-~nendation to replace the two- hour parking limitation on Industrial Drive with a 12-hour maxi- m~ parking tow-away zone. He reported that most businesses, with the exception of Bar-None, Inc., and Nursery Supplies, were agreeable to this alternative. Council/staff discussion fol- lowed · John Underwood, Bar-None, Inc., stated he is not agreeable to the staff recommendation because the City's requirement for four feet of landscaping along the sides of the property, does not allow ample parking on site. Mr. Underwood added that the park- ing restrictions were never enforced until a few months ago, when employees were issued parking citations. He did no~ agree that -mployees should have to walk the distance from Industrial Drive, rather than parking in front of their work location. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to continue the. matter for-review of the .existing landscaping requirements a~ a p. ossible 'solution in 'this instance. The City Manager suggested that if the Council desires to review the landscaping ' requirements overall, the matter might be referred to the Planning Co~mt_ssion for a potential Code amend- The Police Chief provided historical background on parking prob- l-m- in the area which resulted frc~ Marine Corps personnel whose unsafe, uninsured vehicles are not permitted on base. Enforc-ment was reinstituted to resolve parking problems which are recurring and to act as a deterrent to the additional personnel which are reportedly being assigned to the Tustin base in the D~ar future. The Chief emphasized that of the five busi- nesses on Santa Fe, three are agreeable to the staff recomme~nda- tion, and the primary factor in the parking restriction has been to provide on-street parking for business customers. Mr. Underwood suggested that staff leave the two-hour parking limitation on Santa Fe near Red Hill as is and change the rP~ainder of the Santa Fe/Woodlawn/Industrial loop to a 12-hour parking limitation. A substitute motion by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, was made to approve staff's recommendation to replace the two-hour park- ing limitation on Industrial Drive with a 12-hour maximum park- ing tow-away zone; continue monitoring the situation; and direct staff to send a letter to the Marine Corps stating that parking of unsafe vehicles on City streets by their personnel will no longer be tolerated end request that they provide perking on the base. At Mayor Pro TemKennedy's request, the Police Chief stated that Mr. Underwood's suggestion for different parking time zones lacks consistency, which is needed for enforcement. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 3-7-83 Mayor Edgar provided clarification to Ted Guarriello, Nursery Supplies West, on the matter and on the action before the Council. The substitute motion carried 3-1, Kennedy opposed, Greinke abstained. Further Council/staff discussion ensued regarding the parking of unsafe, uninsured vehicles by Marine Corps personnel on City streets.
