AI 15-340 1A.Post Office 10-Minute ParkingAction ItemPost Office 10-Minute Spaces Details: Mr. Fisher commented about the occasional lack of parking spaces on weekends in front of the Camas Post Office on NE 5th and Dallas. He stated that a lack of an available parking space seems to occur when there are special events in the downtown core. The post office front door remains open after business hours and on weekends to allow customers to access their post office boxes. He suggested that at least one sign for one space should identify that the 10-minute parking restriction is for all days of the week. The sign in front of the post office currently states that the 10-minute parking limit is from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The Camas Police Department has stated that, while the downtown parking is only monitored on weekdays, citizens can call 911 for an officer's response contingent on the availability of an officer. Staff would note that there are special events that occur downtown after 6:00 PM. Staff also maintains that the current signs allow enforcement of the 10-minute limitation on weekends.

AI 15-342 1B.Cedar 10 Minute Space ConversionAction ItemCedar Street 10 Minute Parking Space Details: Diane Wintzer, the new tenant and business owner of Wintzer Acupuncture, has requested that the northernmost parking space on the east side of NE Cedar Street between 4th and 5th Avenues be designated as a handicap space. The existing space was designated as a 10-minute parking space at the request of the prior tenant. She has also requested that, if the space is not converted to a disabled space that it be returned to a 2 hour slot so that there is more opportunity for parking directly in front of the clinic and near the curb ramp at 5th and Cedar. While there are currently two 10 minute parking spaces on this block, staff would note that the majority of the parking spaces on this block have been changed to a 3 hour limit. While staff finds that a disabled spot is physically feasible in this location, staff will need to assess the current needs of the public in this location to determine if there is merit to this designation. Staff tends to not convert a parking space with a specially identified time limit, such as a lone 10 minutapprovedPass Action details Video Video
