I RESOLUTION ADOPTED REOUESTING PASSAGE OF LEGISLTION AIDING LOCAL ENTITIES IN NOISE MITIGATION Engineer Ho@nan explained that as a follow-up to the December 7, 1999, Council meeting where results of the City’s highway noise mitigation study were reviewed, he had researched pending legislation and compiled comprehensive plan changes. Mr. Hoffman and the Council discussed the legislation that had been drafted in 1999, but which had proceeded no further than the Transportation Comnittee.

The amendment to the Comprehensive Plan relative to noise mitigation will be included with update that is currently underway.

PETITION PRESENTED REQUESTING REMOVAL OF "NO PARKING" SIGN ON LOCHMERE TERRACE BY DEWEY HILL 111 TOWNHOMES ASSOCIATION Ti~n Purdum, 7778 Lochmere Terrace, stated he was the president of the Dewey Hills III Townhome Association and on behalf of the Association. Mr. Purdum said that they objected to the construction of a walk-through to Glasgow Drive without notice to the residents during September 1999. He added they further object to the October 1999 installation of a "NO PARKING" sign. The sign prohibits parking between 8 and 9 a.m. and 3 and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mr. Purdum stated he believed the walk-through, bus stop and sign were in response to parents request that the bus stop which had formerly been on Glasgow be moved. He noted the area to be off limits delineated by the sign is vague. Mr. Purdum explained that Dewey Hill I11 Townhome's only guest parking is on Lochere. Further the Association has rules that manage the parking. Residents also object to the aesthetics of the Page 4 I 1 bs- , MinutesBdina City Council/Canuarv 4,2000 Mr. Purdum concluded stating the residents do not object to "NO PARKING, * ,v sign. however, they would request the sign be replaced by yellow paint on the curb. Staff explained that painting a curb yellow without placement of a sign would not be erdorceable. .. .' ' :., I Michael Doherty, explained his five year old daughter catches the bus on Lochmere. Mr. Doherty said the bus had difficulty negotiating the road with parked cars. In addition, it was very dangerous for small children to walk between parked cars to get on the school bus. Mr. Doherty said he does not want children placed in danger because of aesthetics. He added the sign has helped alleviate the problem in his opinion. Dr. Joseph Tambornino, 7717 Lochmere, clarified that residents agree no cars should park in the area of the walk-through, but the area beyond should be available for parking. Tony Revere, 7766 Lochmere, stated that two years ago the school bus did use Glasgow. The Council briefly discussed the issue and directed staff to bring the issue up at the next Traffic Safety Committee meeting for review and action.
