RE: 19-314 Approve Parking Restrictions on Otter Avenue, in the
Cul-de-sac between Lake Pointe Drive&Sunnybrook Drive,
Custer Avenue &Court Street
BACKGROUND
There are 4 areas where parking restrictions have been reviewed: (1) Otter Avenue was reconstructed
and there was 15 minute parking where the mailbox drop off is now located. (2) There are cars parking
in the cul-de-sac by the lift station between Lake Pointe Drive and Sunnybrook Drive. This makes two
residential driveways inaccessible as the roadway is only 15 feet wide. (3 & 4) Buses are having
difficulty negotiating turns on Custer Avenue and Court Street due to parked vehicles close to the
intersection.
The traffic and parking advisory board recommend approval of(7-0)
ANALYSIS
Allowing parking in front of the mail boxes makes them inaccessible on Otter Avenue. Allowing
parking in the cul-de-sac by the lift station between Lake Point and Sunnybrook Drive makes 2
residences inaccessible by vehicle. Removing a small amount of parking on Custer and Court will
allow the buses to safely negotiate their turns. The removal of parking in these areas will have
minimal impact as there is ample parking nearby.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of these ordinances is the cost of signage. The signage cost would come out of the
Sign Department operational budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 27A-11 of the Municipal Code pertains to parking regulations on designated streets and alleys.
I recommend that the Common Council approve these ordinances.
