The following report was presented and read at length: May 24, 1965 Hobert F. Boos City Manager Re: Request of Chamber of Commerce for 2-1aour parking North side 200 block West Olive. As you directed, the department has considered the referenced request. The Chamber of Commerce is, in its new location, in the fringe of the downtown business area. Without a 2-hour restriction, the street parking at this location is used as all day parking by persons employed at the First National Bank, County Court House and other p of employment in the immediate vicinity. We have checked the spaces in front of the new office and find them almost constantly filled. The department would have no opjection to posting either the entire North side of the block 2-hour parking or simply thse spaces in front of the Chamber office. In discus- sing the matter with Mr. Vealess Hudspeth, who has served he City on ocdasion as a traffic €Qilsultant, we were advised that liiri.ting the restriction to those spaces abutting the anplica.nt's property is the most commonly followed procedure, in instances of this nature. There was some question in my mind that some measure of confusion might develop with a parkinm regulation that changed in an adjoining space, as opposed to carrying the restricti say, from the alley to the corner of the intersecting street. Mr. Hudspeth feels this woul be no problem, if the signs .indicating the 2-hour limit had arrows clearly designating the spaces being 'restricted. In summary, a restriction to 2-hours of the four parking spaces directly in rout of the new Chamber of Commerce office, would not appear to interfer with the traffic flow on the abutting streets or create any hardship on the property owners in the general area. /sf C. Adam Fischer Public Works Director. After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that four spaces owned in front of the Chamber of Commerce building be limited to one hour parking and the area just east of the area where parking is prohibited, be marked for additional parking spaces. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
