Since the parking study indicates that the parking conditions on Rosemont Street meet
the criteria necessary for the establishment of a Residential Parking Permit District, I

At the public hearing, the City Council may reject the petition, adopt an ordinance
designating the proposed area as a Residential Parking Permit District, or adopt the
ordinance modifying the proposed district. The City Council may also adopt alternate

MEMORANDUM
February 9, 2004
TO:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Rosemont Street Petition for Residential Parking Permit District
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to a November 25, 2003 petition to establish a Residential
Parking Permit District (RPPD) on Rosemont Street between Pennsylvania
Avenue and Creston 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 thé 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 November 25, 2003, represents in excess
of 60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units along Rosemont Street, as is required
under the ordinance. The petition, and a subsequent February 6, 2004 letter of
Clarification, 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. Street parking, for a distance of approximately 350 feet north of
Pennsylvania Avenue, is currently posted "No Parking School Hours". For the
purpose of the parking study, it was assumed that, if not posted, student parking
would fill this area since it is closer to the school.
On January 27, 2004, Hempstead High School submitted a letter of concern with
regard to the establishment of the Residential Park Permit District.
RECOMMENDATION
Since the parking study indicates that the parking conditions on Rosemont Street
meet the criteria necessary for the establishment of a Residential Parking Permit
District, I recommend that Rosemont Street be designated as a RPPD. I also
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 Rosemont Street 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 altemate hours other than the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. parking restriction daily
except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution setting a public
hearing on March 1 on the proposed Residential Parking Permit District on
Rosemont Street.

Dear Mr. Koch,
Thank you for your letter of January 14 in which you state that there is a petition to
establish a residential parking permit district on Rosemont S1reet :!Tom Pennsylvania to
Creston.
On three different days we counted 21,19, and 19 cars which appeared to belong to
Hempstead students on Rosemont parked around 9:00 am If there is a RPPD on
Rosemont it is likely that those cars will park on another street. On Rosemont, as with
other close streets, we use our security associates during the day to patrol and makè
sure that there are no problems. If students are forced to park on other streets, there is
no guarantee that we can check streets farther away. In addition, we have been a good
neighbor by expanding our parking in recent years. We added spaces at the east of our
student lot, had our lot repainted to add more spots, and added staff parking behind the
building along our practice field. We have not been notified of any recent parking
concerns on Rosemont during this school year.
Thank you fur your consideration of the potential impact of a RPPþ OH.cRosemont.
Sincerely,
~¿?oL-
