Concerns are partially addressed.

The recommendations should not be in outline form. It is ok for professionals but is not clear for many of our neighbors.

I am in the 400 block of N. Mary Street. Our permit is a day permit that has been in place for many years. It was put in place to address Brendee's patron's leaving their cars for days after drinking, after out work (first shift 3pm on) patrons not letting us park after work, and F&M students who ignored tickets and let their cars sit. After Luca came in we started getting Luca patrons which is still an issue. Some people on this block contracted with West End for parking which does not now exist. We should not have to reapply with our conditions.

Cabalar opening and Brendees coming back raises concerns. We would like to extend our permit past 6. Enforcement after six will be crucial as Cabalar will be more of an after 3 proposition. Cabalar will have a parking lot that will need signage so that folks can find it.

I also think that parking space lines in permit areas would help guide all parkers to tighten up their parking. Since the criteria includes business and residential capacity on a block, it would be helpful. Non city residents are not aware that just one foot of extra space between cars can eliminate an entire parking spot for a family. They have driveways and garages.

Building permits and parking permits should be reviewed at the same time. We had two businesses rebuilding, and residential work being done at the same time. We had three dumpsters sitting for months. It makes it very hard and the dumpsters, because they are not covered, invite other kinds of activity. Cabalar wanted parking changes long after their work was completed. They were shocked by the resistance. They should have been required to do that when permitting for work and dumpster space.
