Koch, Public Works Director TO: FROM: SUBJECT: CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM April 9, 2001 Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director Amy Court Petition for Residential Parking Permit District INTRODUCTION This is in response to a December 6, 2000 petition to establish a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) on Amy Court. BACKGROUND In 1985, the City adopted an ordinance providing for the establishment of Residential Parking Permit Districts. The purpose of such districts is to reduce traffic congestion resulting from the use of parking within residential districts by persons not residing within the district, to protect the residents of these districts from an unreasonable burden in gaining access to their residences, to preserve the character of such districts as residential districts, and other various purposes. A Residential Parking Permit District designation can be made only after a petition of residents representing 60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units in a proposed area is received, a parking study is conducted by the City Engineer, and a public hearing is held by the City Council, To be eligible for an RPPD designation, the proposed district must include at least four (4) block faces or contain 50 parking spaces, must have at least 80 percent (80%) of the curbside parking utilized during peak periods, and must have at least 25 percent (25%) of such utilization by non-residents of the area. A petition may be considered for an area which contains less than four (4) adjacent block faces or fifty (50) curb parking spaces if there are extenuating conditions that render such requirement unreasonable. Upon the recommendation of the City Manager, such requirement may be waived by the City Council if it finds that the proposed residential district is isolated or separated from other residential areas by topographical features or by commercial area. Upon designation as an RPPD, no one can park curbside in the district during the restricted hours without a residential or guest parking permit. DISCUSSION The petition which was submitted on December 6, 2000, represents in excess of 60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units along Amy Court, as is required under the ordinance. The petition requests that the parking restriction be effective between the hours of 7 a.m, and 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The City's parking study of this area indicates that during the requested time period, at least 80 percent (80%) of the curbside spaces were utilized, and at least 25 percent (25%) of such curbside parking spaces were utilized by non-resident parkers. The petition, therefore, meets the requirements of the RPPD ordinance. City staff met with the Dubuque Community School District staff and the principal of Hempstead High School to discuss the petition. School staff has indicated that they intend to construct additional parking on campus and would not oppose the petition. RECOMMENDATION Since the parking study indicates that the parking conditions on Amy Court meet the criteria necessary for the establishment of a Residential Parking Permit District, I would recommend that Amy Court be designated as a RPPD. I would recommend that the district parking regulations be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. I would further recommend that the City Council set a public hearing on the designation of Amy Court as a Residential Parking Permit District between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. After the public hearing, the City Council may reject the petition, adopt an ordinance designating the proposed area as a Residential Parking Permit, or adopt an ordinance modifying the proposed district. The City Council may also adopt alternate hours other than the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. parking restriction daily except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. If, however, the hours or days are modified the City Council must create a new parking district. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution setting a public hearing on May 21 on the proposed Residential Parking Permit District on Amy Court.

Students from Hempstead High School have consistently shown d/srespect with reckless dr/ring and parking habits on our street. Often many of the Amy Court ms/dents haven't received mail because of students parking in front of mailboxes. Trespassing and littering are both issues along with obnox/ous behavior among the students parking in our neighborhood. Amy Court Cul-de-sac has had quite a turnover in residents in the last three years. Could you please make Amy Court a residential parking permit designation area once again. Eighty three percent (83%) of the residents on our street approve of this idea.
