r ^ r • <br />JUL0 6 2002 <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION ciTY OF ORONO <br />DATE: July 8.2002 <br />ITEM NO.: /0 <br />Department Approval: <br />Nine Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Public Services's Directors Report <br />Item Description: No Parking Sandy Beach Neighborhood-Resolution <br />We have received complaints from residents in the Sandy Beach Neighborhood about overflow <br />parking from the North Arm and Maxwell Bay boat landings in this neighborhood. This concern has <br />been expressed previously, but it was a minor problem. However, this past holiday weekend there <br />were numerous vehicles with boat trailers parked in this area. The main problem that this is creating <br />is that people launch their boats, at the landings, then park the car and trailer close to Sandy Beach <br />and use the beach dock to load and unload passengers from the boats. This is creating a safety hazard <br />with the swimmers at the beach. This past weekend boaters were yelling at the swimmers at the <br />beach to get out of their way, so they could dock and pick up passengers. This parking in the <br />neighborhood is also resulting in trash and noise problems and additional traffic on the narrow <br />residential streets in this area. <br />The City staff recommendation is for approval of the resolution prohibiting vehicle with trailer <br />parking in the Sandy Beach Neighborhood. Similar signs were installed in the Fagemess Point and <br />Bohn’s Point areas several years ago. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Approval of the resolution to install and maintain "No Parking Vehicles with Trailers - Tow Away <br />Zone"signs on the City streets in the Sandy Beach Neighborhood. <br />rfTTrt- liM ai^r -T r
