statement and pointed out
Board that was not heard
on information the Board
entire Village.
In response to threats of nonsupport of the
Village Board at election time by Deerfield
voters who are unhappy with the proposal for the
commuter parking problem, Mayor Forrest made a
that there has never been an issue before the
in detail. He noted that decisions are based
has and the effect that decision has on the
11�
Village Manager Robert Franz reviewd the results of the Paul Box
traffic impact study. Among its recommendations were the exclusion of a
parkway between Hazel and Greenwood and no diagonal parking on the east
side of Chestnut north of Hazel. Two alternatives for solving the
commuter parking problems were to reduce the amount of commuter parking
or-find a new location for the displaced commuter spaces. Two
alternative sites considered were Maplewood School and a parcel of land
south of Touhy Lumber, but they were not recommended due to distance and
cost. Other factors considered were raising the daily fee to 75C and
towing narking violators.
Staff recommends that if displaced commuter parking is not to be relocated,
then Lots 5 and 7 should be converted to permit use. This will reduce
the number of daily fee spaces during the Access Avenue project and allow
us to judge the impact on the community. If additional parking is
warranted, the Chestnut and Waverly /Central sites could be considered
by the Plan Commission through,; the regular public hearing process.
Bill Hansen, representing the newly formed North Central Deerfield
Neighborhood Association, presented a petition to the Board with 240
signatures requesting the Village to discontinue their efforts to turn
the open area adjacent to Chestnut Street between Hazel and North Avenue
into a commuter parking lot. Bob Trine, Sam Phelps, Dawn Dunn and Billy
McKee also expressed their concerns over traffic safety and conjestion,
drainage problems and lowered property values
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Rosenthal, that the Village
Manager's recommendation to convert Lots 5 and 7 to permit use and
increase the daily parking fee rate to 75C be accepted and the Attorney
directed to prepare the necessary ordinance. Fiurther,- tha_t.:the :.Attorney be
directed.to research the issue of towing illegally parked cars.
Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Swanson, that the above
motion be amended to increase the daily parking fee rate to $1.00.
Motion failed.
Trustee Rosenthal commented that through reasonable discussion the
democratic process works as evidenced by the previous dialogue on the
commuter parking matter. She emphazed that the Board is not an
adversary, it represents the entire Village. Trustee Rosenthal
complimented the residents who presented their views that evening. She
suggested their neighborhood association investigate the Village's 50 -50
parkway tree:,program in-their efforts to beautify their area.
