Title
AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 91ST AVENUE, 92ND AVENUE, 92ND LANE AND BALTIMORE STREET TO ACCOMMODATE LETTERMEN SPORTS TENT SALES ON JUNE 13 - 23 AND AUGUST 1 - 4, 2013
 
Background
The City of Blaine received a request on April 9, 2013 from Katelyn LaVine, Executive Assistant for Lettermen Sports, requesting temporary removal of parking restrictions on 91st Avenue, 92nd Avenue, 92nd Lane and Baltimore Street in order to allow parking on those streets from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, June 13 - 23 and August 1 - 4, 2013.  Lettermen Sports is hosting a Tent Sale on those three weekends and expects a need for additional parking to accommodate their customers.  
 
I am recommending two separate temporary parking maps be considered for this request as the streets in this industrial park area are proposed to be under reconstruction during the August 1 - 4, 2013 tent sale.  The June 13 - 23 map indicates authorization for temporary parking on the west side of Baltimore Street and both sides of the three additional streets.  The August 1 - 4 map indicates authorization for temporary parking on the west side of Baltimore Street and the south side only of the other three streets.  If the reconstruction project is not able to accommodate the temporary parking, Council is asked to authorize the Safety Services Manager to modify the temporary parking for the safety of the industrial park property owners, traveling public and contractors.  
 
City Council authorization is required for the temporary lifting of parking restrictions.  City Council previously authorized the temporary lifting of parking restrictions for Lettermen Sport's 2012 tent sales.
 
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the temporary removal of parking restrictions on both sides of 92nd Avenue cul-de-sac east of Baltimore, 91st Avenue and 92nd Lane between Baltimore and Davenport Streets, and the west side of Baltimore Street between 91st Avenue and 92nd Lane, from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, June 13 - 23, 2013.
 
By motion, authorize the temporary removal of parking restrictions on the south side only of 92nd Avenue cul-de-sac east of Baltimore, 91st Avenue and 92nd Lane between Baltimore and Davenport Streets, and the west side of Baltimore Street between 91st Avenue and 92nd Lane, from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, August 1 - 4, 2013.
 
By motion, authorize the Safety Services Manager to modify the temporary parking if needed for the safety of the industrial park property owners, traveling public and contractors.
