West Avenue and 10th Street and Council requested staff to research and bnng back possible options for
parking in the nght-of-way
Economic Development Director Hitt presented three primary concepts provided by a consulting firm.
Concept plan one uses the existing sixty-foot right-of-way with thirteen parking spaces on the north and
south sides of DeSoto Street, new sidewalks on the south side, new driveways on the north and south
sides; with an estimated cost between$76,440.20 and$117,998.50.
Concept plan two uses the existmg sixty-foot right-of-way with seven parking spaces on the north side of
DeSoto Street and a new driveway on the north side, with an estimated cost between $57,427.80 and
$95,063.00.

estimated cost between$59,939.90 and$96,997.50.
City Manager Gray stated there were numerous issues related to DeSoto Street parking; particularly with
two businesses located in a residential area between West Avenue and 10th Street. Several years ago,
Council approved bagging the no parking signs up to six times a year when the Montessori School and
Magic Moments'Daycare were holding special events. In May, Council decided to stop bagging the no
parking signs and have the businesses work with staff regarding special events parking. City Manager
Gray commented the new process is working.

Franklin Chase Forth, 939 DeSoto Street, commented the businesses were to have drop-off and pick-up
only as part of their Conditional Use Permit and they should abide by these terms.
Charlene Forth, 939 DeSoto Street, distributed a letter to Council and staff. Ms. Forth displayed and read
the letter to the audience describing the impact Magic Moments and the Montesson School have placed
on the residential neighborhood; specifically relating to parking and their Conditional Use Permits. Ms
Forth spoke in opposition of the City providing parking as the Conditional Use Permit required the
businesses to provide on-site parking. She stated the enjoyment of the surrounding residential properties
have been disturbed by traffic, noise, and headlights shining into their homes, and off-site parking would
add to the disturbances.
Gustave Ortiz,470 Rob Roy, spoke in opposition of off-site parking
Mayor Turville closed the public heanng.
Council Member Goodgame stated the three concepts were not feasible, the sidewalk issue should be
addressed, and Council should uphold the Conditional Use Permits for Magic Moments and the
Montessori School.
Mayor Turville requested clanfication regarding the current sidewalk location. Economic Development
Director Hitt stated the entire north side of the DeSoto Street sidewalk ran the entire length. The sidewalk
on the south side covers the western third of the street.
Council Member Mullins suggested Council consider adding parking when the street requires repaving.
He stated the sidewalk on the south side of DeSoto Street should be connected the entire length.
Council Member Goodgame inquired if the old Fire Station and Shenff Substation structures were to be
demolished. City Manager Gray stated staff would bring the issue before Council when the Police
Department moves to the new facility. The original plan was to demolish structures and provide extra
parking.
Charlene Forth, 939 DeSoto Street,opposed completing the sidewalk as children would still have to cross
the street, people would p ould hang out on the sidewalk, and there are plantings which would have to be
destroyed.
Mayor Turville was opposed to completing the sidewalk on the south side of the street.
Richard Jenkins, Montessori School, spoke in favor of completing the sidewalk on the south side and
suggested a four-way stop at the intersection of DeSoto Street and 10t Street
Mayor Turville was in favor of a four-way stop.
Council Member VanWagner was in favor of a four-way stop and opposed to completing the sidewalk on
the south side
City Manager Gray commented Council did not have to take official action. The current method of
handling events through the Events and Recreation Department is effective. The process is to no longer
bag the no parking signs and have the businesses work with staff regarding special events parking.
Staff will look into a four-way stop at 10th Street and DeSoto Street.
