Standing Pathways Committee: MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by Summit and • passed unanimously to appoint Denise Williams to the Pathways Committee for a term of four years. 3. Captain Terrence Calderone, Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff • Presentation of LAH Parking Control Issues and Consideration of Potential Solutions Moody Road, Rhus Ridge and Bledsoe Court Captain Calderone reported that there have been complaints from residents about parking issues on Moody Road at Rhus Ridge and extending into Bledsoe Court. He proceeded with a presentation on what the Sheriff's Office had observed and possible solutions to resolve the parking concerns. Calderone illustrated his discussion with photos taken by deputies of cars parking along the identified streets. Calderone suggested "No Parking" signs could be used as a possible deterrent; however the elimination of parking on Moody could potentially result in parking problems on the neighboring streets. Complaints of parking problems had also been voiced by residents of Bledsoe Court. Captain Calderone advised that the critical parking problems were on weekends and suggested the possibility of using permit parking for the high volume days. Council discussion ensued. There was a concurrence that a solution to the parking problem should be administered sooner rather than later. Posting no parking signage and directing "vehicles" to the parking lots at Foothill College was considered. It was noted • that there was a fee for parking at the college. Staff was directed to investigate the possibility of a fee waiver for weekend use of the lots. Council consensus was to have staff investigate the posting of"No Parking" from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday signage. It was suggested that information about parking at Foothill College be included on the signs. Staff was directed to send notices to neighbors advising them of the signage before their installation. Council discussed the option of designating Bledsoe Court a "Designated Parking District". Parking on the street would require permits. This could eliminate the overflow parking from Moody Road. Staff was directed to discuss the option with the neighbors and return to Council with their findings. Purissima Road(Little League Fields) Captain Calderone suggested several options to resolve the parking problems on Purissima Road by the park. It was suggested that the small dirt gravel lot across from the Town's corporation yard could be used for overflow parking during Little League games and for other special events at the fields. Calderone estimated that the lot could accommodate up to nine vehicles. Council discussed the viability of parking on the pathway. Councilmember Summit commented that the pathway along Purissima Road was an important link for equestrians • to the Town Riding Ring and other trails. Calderone noted that the road was not wide enough to accommodate the pathway and for a vehicle to park. 2 Approved City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 20,2010
