ITEM#3 - Council Referral - Ordinance 98-24, Amending Chapter III, Art. 6, Schedule 1 -
Parking Prohibited at All Times - Bryant Street
Bryant Street is a dead end street between 21 and 23 feet in width. Bryant Street is not
within the City's standards for parking on either side of the street as this width is not sufficient to
allow emergency vehicles access where caxs are parked opposite each other. On a two-way street
• the minimum width to allow two travel lanes and parking on one side is 28 feet. The Police
Department recommends parking be allowed on only one side of Bryant Street-that side being
2/
� the south side. Residents of Bryant Street attended and objected to the change. They felt the
change was unnecessary since there is rarely on-street parking on this short dead end street. They
felt the neighbors could handle the situation by cooperation, and municipal regulation was not
needed. A motion was made and seconded to recommend indefinite postponement of this item.
So voted.
ITEM#4 - Council Referral - Ordinance 98-27,Amending the Sign Ordinance - Chapter VI,
Article 3, Section 5.4.5.1(a)
The current sign ordinance allows either one wall sign or one projecting sign for
businesses in the Downtown Development District. This amendment would allow both. This
proposed ordinance amendment will also go to the Historic Preservation Commission on Dec.
11`"for their review. It will be brought back to Committee with a possible accompanying Facade
Ordinance amendment at a near future meeting.
A motion was made and seconded to table and brought back at a future date. So voted.
ITEM#5 - Council Referral, Resolve 98-28,Accepting and Appropriating Contribution of
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
A motion was made and seconded to recommend approval of this item as presented. So
voted.
