TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director lJf.l?L.
FROM:
SUBJECT: Klauer Manufacturing Request for uNo Parking"
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to an October 10, 2000 letter from Klauer Manufacturing
to remove parking at several corners by which the semi-trucks are having
difficulty in negotiating through the 26th and 27th Street areas.
DISCUSSION
Their request was for the removal of parking from 6 AM to 6 PM Monday
through Friday at portions of the following intersections:
1. South side, 26th Street at Central Avenue.
2. North side, 26th Street at Central Avenue.
3. South side, 26th Street at Elm Street.
4. North side, 26th Street at Elm Street.
5. South side, 27th Street at Central Avenue.
6. North side, 27th Street at Central Avenue.
7. North side, 27th Street at Elm Street.
Upon receiving the request and recognizing the potential negative impacts to
both residents and businesses in the area, the City sent notices of Klauer's
request to the abutting property owners affected by the UNo Parking /I
request. A sample letter is attached, together with maps showing all of the
areas requested for parking removal.
RECOMMENDA TION
The letters generated a significant amount of negative responses from both
property owners and businesses in the affected areas.
Upon reviewing the intensity of the objections received to the removal of
parking, Klauer Manufacturing has withdrawn their request and will continue
to make do with the current narrow trucking corridor that they have used for
years.
The petition of Klauer Manufacturing should, therefore, be received, noted as
withdrawn, and filed.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to receive and file the request for "No Parking"
from Klauer Manufacturing.

REQUEST TO RESTRICT PARKING ON 26TH & 27TH STREETS
Klauer Mfg. is expanding its ~ufacturing at its 26th & Washington plant.
This requires substantial semi.truck traffic into and out of the facility.
Inbound trucks will be coming into 26th Street to unload steel and outbound
material will be shipped from 27t11 Street. This requires trucks being able to
turn off of Central onto 26 tb & 27th Streets. These streets are too narrow to
turn on to without restricting parking on these streets. We've tried to show
in the drawings, the turning area needed for semi-trucks.
We request the following from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. Monday tln11 Friday.
25 feet of No Parking Area on the south side of2~ Street at Central Avenue
and 100 feet on the north side of 26th Street.
tOO feet of No Parking on the south side of 26th Street near Elm and SO feet
of No Parking on the north side.
25 feet of No Parking Area on the south side of 27th Street at Central Avenue
and 100 feet on the north side of 271h Street.
100 feet of No Parking on the north side of27rh Street at Elm Street.
"
Klauer Mfg. is widening the curb cut on 27th Street and moving its gate back
at its own expense in an attempt to make more turning room also.

Dear (Name of Property Owner):
The City has received a petition from Klauer Manufacturing Company to restrict
parking adjacent to your property for the purpose of providing adequate street width
for semi-trucks to negotiate turns on the way to/from their plant at 26th and
Washington, because of anticipated increased semi deliveries to their facilities in the
near future.
The petition requests that the parking restriction be effective between the hours of
6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The enclosed drawings show the
amount of parking that needs to be removed to adequately accommodate these
turns.
As the owner of a property adjacent to one of the areas referred to in the petition,
the City is asking for your comments concerning this request.
Please submit your comments and/or concerns to the City Engineering Department
by December 7, 2000. This issue will be presented to the City Council at their
December 18, 2000 meeting for their consideration of the parking removal request
together with any comments received from the affected residents and businesses.
Sincerely,
Bill Schlickman
