Oral presentation is based on the written staff report, please refer to your copy.
Chairman Beil opened the public hearing for the following discussion.
There residents are in favor of the parking permit program as follows:
• David Sturm, 206 N. Poplar St. —Once I had plans to take a trip and I
moved our 5 wheel trailer in front of our house so we could pack and get
prepared for the trip; someone from the apartments came in and backed
their truck so it was under the trailer hitch and there wasn't enough room
to move the trailer out; so it sat there all weekend because I had no way of
knowing who the truck belonged to; and the police would not tow it
away.
• Jeanette Sturm, 206 N. Poplar St. — Can't have guests over cause there is
nowhere for them to park. The drivers from the apartments block
driveways and leave trash all over the street. They move our trash cans so
we can't get our trash picked up regularly.

• Adolfo Perez, 207 N. Poplar St. — I often have to park 1 -3 blocks away and
walk to my house. There is trash, vandalism, blocked driveways and fire
hydrants.
• Alan Collazo, 217 N. Poplar St. — Parking has become inaccessible; there is
trash everywhere, open alcohol containers, etc. When they block the
driveway I have called the police to come out and they take too long to
respond, if they come out at all.
• Thanh Van Luyen, 226 N. Poplar St. — They block the driveway all the
time, once I was leaving on a trip and I couldn't get out of my driveway
because the cars had me blocked in. Our trash cans get moved by drivers
from nearby apartments who put them up on the curb and then they park
on the street where we had the cans.
• Laurie Southern, 2010 W. Maple Ave. — I'm battling cancer and there have
been multiple times when I have needed ambulance service to take me to
the hospital and they couldn't get in my driveway because the cars were
parked in the way.
There residents spoke against the parking permit program as follows:
• Melanie Diederich, 205 N. Flower St. — Concerned about the influx of cars
in adjoining neighborhoods creating this problem there as well.
• Julia Ariza, 232 -254 N. Holly St. — Thinks the City should adjust their
ordinance forcing people to park in their garages then this won't be
necessary. Include residents of Holly St. in the parking permit area and
allow them to have permits to park on the streets.
• Andres Rojas, 252 N. Holly St. — Feels there should be another way to
resolve the problem without parking permits.
• Abraham Castellanos, 236 N. Holly St. — These are public streets and
people should be able to park on them.
• Rene Echavarria, 254 N. Holly St. — A lot of the people living in these
apartments are already disenfranchised and this just takes that further.
• Arturo Bernardino, 232 N. Holly St. — Concerned it will take too much
time for the Police Dept. to enforce.
• Darren Morgan, 238 N. Stevens St. — Residents of Holly St. and N. Lincoln
St. should receive parking permits too.
Chairman Beil closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for
final comments and a motion.
