Katella Ave. Orange CA 92869 Oral presentation is based on the written staff report; please refer to your copy. Chairman Beil opened the public hearing for the following discussion: Chairman Beil – That whole business side has pretty ample parking in the backside for most of the businesses? Dave Allenbach, Transportation Analyst – Yes, they have a bank of parking stalls along the side, a double loaded drive aisle and a bank of parking stalls in the rear; the liquor store is at the other end of the complex.

December‘05 [N:/Traffic/CTC/2005 Minutes] Printed on Recycled Paper Minutes of a Regular Meeting – City Traffic Commission – December 14, 2005 Pg. 3 we’ve gone out the parking lots are probably about 1/3 to ½ full, at least during the workday. Some of the businesses, the 2 restaurants may have heavier business in the evening hours. There is a place selling pool tables and gaming equipment that may do business in the evening hours and weekend more than they do during the week. There is a laundromat, which could be fairly busy. Chairman Beil – If we approve this type of signing, when it is installed is it just put in or is there advance warning or flyers on cars advising people of the change in available parking? Dave Allenbach, Transportation Analyst – No. We wouldn’t have a way of notifying the motoring public in general, and that’s typical pretty much for any of the signs we put up. The one exception may be if we’re going to do a large area of no parking, we may have the Police, if they wish, to go ahead and issue some warning citations if they wish. In this particular case we’re talking about time limit parking, we will augment that with red curb so it will be pretty obvious where you can and cannot park. There being no comments from the audience, Chairman Beil closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for further discussion and a motion. ACTION: 1. Denied the installation of a “20 MINUTE” parking zone. 2. Approved the installation of a “1 HOUR” parking zone, and 45 ft. of red curb at both driveways serving the subject address. Chairman Beil – I think this is a good option and I think it will enhance some of the businesses there. I know we’ve had items in the past come through for very short term parking for specific businesses in that complex, so I think this is a very good option that will help enhance the whole economic vitality of some of the business in that center as long as there is ample parking fro employees and others in the rear for longer term.

Results of the three-month trial of speed humps on Hoover Avenue between Shaffer Street and Cambridge Street. Gloria Ferrier 603 E. Hoover Ave. Orange CA 92867 The oral presentation is based on the written staff report; please refer to your copy. Chairman Beil opened the public hearing for the following discussion: Chairman Beil – On the after installation there is listed 10 households did not sign the petition, or vacant. What does vacant mean? Dave Allenbach, Transportation Analyst – Going by what the proponent wrote on the petition and I’m assuming they made every effort to contact whoever was at that residence. As we informed them regardless of whether or not the person does sign or if they’re home every address on the petition was notified of the meeting today, as they were notified of the initial meeting when we considered installing these on a temporary basis. With that in mind the house may be vacant but we don’t have the manpower to go out and verify if they are or not, but a notice was mailed to that address so they had an opportunity to come and speak today. There being no comments from the audience, Chairman Beil closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for further discussion and a motion. ACTION: Approved the permanent installation of speed humps on Hoover Ave. and forward to the City Council for final action. MOTION: F. Petronella SECOND: J.
