BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department received a complaint from a citizen who was involved in an accident earlier this year while entering Cherokee Lane fium westbound Oak Street. The citizen's concern at this location is that trucks parked along the east curb line of Cherokee Lane make it difficult for drivers to see northbound vehicles while stopped on westbound Oak Street. This area is zoned commercial and truck parking is permitted. Available accident records from 1989 to the present indicate that this has been the only accident at this location related to a sight obstruction. The accident report indicated that a truck parked along the east curb line may have contributed to this accident by restricting the visibility of the driver entering Cherokee Lane. Public Woks staff field checked this location and agrees that trucks parking near the intersection could cause a sight problem. Staff feels restricting vehicles 6 feet or more in height within 100 feet south of the intersection would improve visibility of northbound vehicles while still retaining a parking area of 63.5 feet adjacent to the restaurant on the southeast corner to accommodate customers with vehicles under 6 feet high. Unrestricted parking is also available on Oak Street. The type of parking restriction being proposed was installed on Cherokee Lane at Ahrctxl Drive in December 1990. The Police Department has indicated that they have experienced no problems with this installation and available accident records indicate that no accidents related to sight obstructions have occurred since the signing was installed. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve the installation of this restricted parking zone. APPROVED - THOMAS A PETERSON «........
