Request by Mr. Brian Tooker to discuss option of having diagonal parking on North Dakota Street between East Cherry Street and SD Highway 50 Aric VanVoost, an owner of Pizza Ranch, reported that, in addition to Pizza Ranch, there is another business location between Pizza Ranch and the motel that they would like to locate a 13,000 square foot convention center. Aric stated that the lack of parking in the area has made it hard to lease this property and requested that the parallel parking on the east side of Dakota Street be replaced with diagonal parking which would add a minimum of 75 parking spaces to the area. Aric stated that the new apartment building in the area has changed the parking demand and the diagonal parking would improve access to all in the area. Collin Lind, Pizza Ranch Manager, explained the lack of parking in the area for the businesses and apartments that could be addressed by switching to diagonal parking on the east side of Dakota Street. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reviewed the current number of parallel parking spaces along the east side of Dakota as well as the proposed number of spaces if converted to diagonal. Jose reported that the national manual used for street designs discourages parking along arterial streets and if parking is allowed recommends parallel parking. Jose reviewed the traffic and accidents along North Dakota Street as it compares to Main Street which has diagonal parking noting that the rate of accidents on Main Street is 5 times greater. Jose noted that adding diagonal parking along the east side of Dakota would shift the center line to the west which would take time for drivers to get used to and if the diagonal parking is allowed on the east side of Dakota the number of pedestrians crossing the street would also increase which would be a safety issue. Jose stated that this information is included in the agenda memo and based upon the safety factors outlined in the national manual he would recommend not changing the parking along Dakota Street to diagonal. Discussion followed on the parking request with the owners of Pizza Ranch asking if they had reviewed any alternatives to the diagonal street parking. Aric stated that they had talked to USD about across the street parking but that it would not be available when USD had activities which is when they would also be busy. Aric noted that maybe painting the lines on the street so the parallel parking is better used might help. Discussion followed noting the safety issues related to diagonal parking along arterial streets and that other options could be presented to the City Engineer for review. 250-19 5 Alderman Hellwege moved to deny the request to change the parallel parking on N. Dakota Street to diagonal. Alderman Holland seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Motion carried 7 to 1. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted. B. Request to close W.

James noted that, since the application was received, the VCDC notified the City that the event will be on Saturday, September 28th only. James stated that the closing is for W. Main Street from the west side of the intersection with Prospect Street west through Ratingen Platz and Market Street as it abuts Ratingen Platz.

Main Street from the west side of the intersection with Prospect Street west through Ratingen Platz and Market Street as it abuts Ratingen Platz on September 28th from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Alderman Price seconded the motion.

James reported that the parade route will be from east to west. James stated that the City will again this year use a rolling barricade whereby intersections will be closed ahead of the parade instead of closing the street for whole time period. James stated that the Police, Fire and EMS were notified and the application indicates that the Student Council will be doing clean up after the parade. 6 252-19 Alderman Willson moved approval of the street closing request from the Vermillion High School for Main Street from Norbeck Street to High Street on Friday, September 13, 2019 from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the Tanager homecoming parade.

John stated that the City Council should receive public input on the continuation of the wholesale license fee. 253-19 Alderman Ward moved to close the public input on the malt beverage markup and continue the wholesale license fee at 5% with the proceeds being used to retire the general obligation bond issued for Prentis Park improvements.
