7. Old Business - None
8. New Business

A. 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

Alderman Hellwege moved to deny the request to change the parallel
parking on N. Dakota Street to diagonal. Alderman Holland seconded the

James Purdy, Assistant City Manager, reported that the Vermillion Area
Chamber of Commerce and Development Company (VCDC) has applied for a
street closing request for September 27 & 28 from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30
p.m. each day for Oktoberfest events. 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. James stated that the request and diagram are included in the
packet. James noted that the application indicated that adjoining
property owners have been notified and that event staff would be cleaning
up after the event.
251-19
Alderman Hellwege moved approval of the street closing request of the
Vermillion Area Chamber of Commerce and Development Company for W. Main
Street from the west side of the intersection with Prospect Street west

request was received from the Vermillion High School to close Main Street
from Norbeck Street to High Street on Friday, September 13, 2019 from
12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for Tanager homecoming parade. 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

doing clean up after the parade.

that all of the proceeds from the collection in the revised 2019 budget
and proposed 2020 budget were placed in the Prentis Park Debt Service
fund to repay the general obligation bond that was issued for park
improvements. John stated that the debt service for 2016 was $199,853,
for 2017 was $197,067, for 2018 was $195,817, for 2019 is $194,755 and

U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank) effective September 16, 2019.
Mike noted that in working with Dougherty & Company, Dorsey & Whitney
