Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 4 February 19, 2014 A discussion followed among the Councilmembers and staff, which focused on: 1) Parking problems have generally been caused by overflow from the Moorpark High School and Moorpark Community College; 2) Residents impacted by this overflow parking have requested the City attempt to mitigate this issue either with "no parking", "restricted parking" and/or resident "permit parking" criteria; 3) The price of parking at the college has driven the students out into the neighborhoods to park; and 4) Unknown benefits from the completion of the parking structure at the college. Councilmember Mikos reported one resident from Kernvale Avenue called her prior to these items being placed on the agenda; and from time to time she has received other calls regarding the problems of overflow parking at the college. Councilmember Millhouse summarized comments and quantified the street names indicated from the emails and late correspondence Council had received from residents affected by the parking permits. Mary Mesick, a resident of Honeyglen Court, cited the abuses her street has experienced from overflow student parking and spoke in favor of "no parking during school hours" as being sufficient. Steve Nardi, a resident of Kernvale Avenue in the Parkside Tract, cited instances of speeding, proliferation of trash, and over-parking by college students in his neighborhood. Shawn Lammer, a resident of Shakespeare Place, cited instances of illegal drug activity by college students on Doris Court near his street; stated the addition of a parking structure at the college probably will not alleviate the parking problem as students are looking for free parking; and requested whatever restrictions apply to Doris Court should also apply to Shakespeare Place. Amer Salman, a resident of Doris Court, spoke in opposition to permit parking as he has many visitors who need parking and runs a 9-car driving school in the area and would not be issued enough permits. He stated student parking on his street has not been a problem and he thinks parking by permit only penalizes the students. Mark Weiner, a resident of East Benwood Drive, stated a nearby church parking lot handles the overflow student parking and permit parking is not needed on Benwood Drive. He also stated the college does not hold classes on Fridays, so why impose parking restrictions on Fridays. Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 5 February 19, 2014 Gari Cuenco, a resident of Benwood Drive, stated he has no issues with parking on his street and suggested if this moves forward to issue each resident 20 parking permits so they can decide who can part on their street. Sylvia Laabs, a resident of Doris Court spoke in favor of issuing parking permits to residents due to the influx of college student parking in her neighborhood and described numerous abuses including trash, illegal drug activity, and blocking of driveways. She stated she had contacted her Homeowners Association (HOA) with her concerns regarding student parking. Eden Barrera, a resident of Kernvale Street, spoke in support of permit parking and stated the college parking structure will not solve the overflow problem, as this issue is not about available parking, but the cost of parking at the college. In response to Mayor Parvin, Ms. Benson summarized 12 Written Statement Cards with six (6) in favor of parking restrictions from residents living on Honeyglen Court, Kernvale Street, Melray Street, and the Parkside Tract; and six (6) in opposition to permit parking from residents living on Benwood Drive, Kernvale Street, and Shakespeare Place. CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council to hear from late speakers. Ericka Bryant, a resident of Doris Court, spoke in opposition to permit parking as not need on her street and an imposition to residents. Kevin Edwardson, a resident of Kernvale Street, spoke in opposition to permit parking as he drives an ambulance and must be allowed to park it on the street, and if he has unexpected guests it would be inconvenient to obtain permits. Councilmember Millhouse summarized by street name, the number of speakers and written statement cards in favor and opposed to the permit parking. A discussion followed among the Councilmembers and staff, which focused on: 1) Ability for residents to work out accommodations with staff regarding exceptions to the parking; 2) Removing Benwood Drive from the resolution as the communications from residents of Benwood Drive indicate they are opposed to parking restrictions; 3) Removing the streets near the college, Delfen Street, Kernvale Avenue, Dracena Avenue, Beragan Street, Overly Street, and Melray Street from the resolution to be reconsidered for parking restrictions upon evaluation of possible improved conditions resulting from the completion of the college parking structure Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 6 February 19, 2014 and 4) Sending a formal letter to the president of the college to remind the college that the student parking in residential areas continues to be an issue.
