All yeas Motion passes 3. Consideration of Traffic Control Order No. 1-19/Skinner Drive Extension City Manager Moore stated that Council was being asked to consider approving traffic control order (TCO) 1-19, which will remove parking from the majority of the new section of Skinner Drive (referred to as the Skinner Drive Extension). Between the time the road was constructed the first business opened, Little League began using the street for additional parking. This spring, with the new business in operation, there have been conflicts between the Little League parking and the ability for trucks to access the new business. Chief Teske and the City Manager have reviewed the layout of the new street and have provided a TCO that would remove parking from the majority of Skinner Drive. Administration is recommending the parking be removed from the remainder of the East and South side of the Skinner Drive extension and the remainder of the West side of Skinner Drive extension and the North side of Skinner Drive extension to a point 20’ to the east of the first driveway. The parking recommendations were developed based on hydrant locations and the potential difficulty of trying to maneuver a semi through the curves with parked cars on the street. Motion by Reindel, seconded by Warn, to approve Traffic Control Order 1-29; to remove parking from the majority of the new section of Skinner Drive. Discussion on Motion Misteravich questioned if we should completely remove parking at the northeast portion CCM: 07/15/2019 Page 3 of 6  APPROVED 08/05/2019 of the Skinner Drive extension. Rix questioned if it would be possible to allow parking during certain times to help relieve the parking issues for Little League. Steve Langegger, Owner, Masters Machine, expressed his concerns with allowing parking. The fire lane needs to be kept open to protect his asset. A fire could happen at any time. Reindel – The Fire Department has used this area for training and the area is very tight for the vehicles. Misteravich further stated that Skinner Drive was developed for potential businesses – not for Little League Parking. Rix stated that for safety issues he would agree to remove all parking from Skinner Drive. Reindel and Warn were in support of changing the motion as follows: Motion by Reindel, seconded by Warn, to approve Traffic Control Order 1-19; to remove all parking from Skinner Drive.
