3. Letter to City Council fronr Roderick J. C'I'Icara, 1i09 Drake Avenue,
regarding limiting overnight parking permits to one per buij-ding
was read by Comlrissioner Fo1ey. The proposal was dj-scussed. I,1r. Moore
pointed out that the problems resulting from multiple permits per
dwelling'unit seem to be quite isolated and usually can be resolved by
cooperation between neighbors. Discussion followed and Commissioner
Graham moved, seconded by Commissioner Fo1ey, that recommendation be
made to the City Council that no action be taken to change the parking
ordinance at this time due to the isolated nature of the occurrences.
4. Letter from Burlingame Business and Professional Association
regarding parking }imit changes on Chapin Avenue was read by
Commissioner Foley. Mr. Moore stated that the one-hour time }imit on
Chapin Avenue would be inexpensive to try and was easily reversible.
The income of $45.0O per year per meter was discussed. Mr. Moore
thought it was low for such an area. Sgt. O'Brien discussed the
problems of enforcement with a reduced staff. Commissioner Graham
felt most people would cooperate with posted limit.
Sgt. O'Brien discussed the abuses of long-term parkers using one-hour
parking ljmit areas, and future increases in long-term parking demand.
Commissioner Graham agreed that the ten-hour parking was not objec-
tionable now, but would be in the future. Mr. Moore estimated that
#401, 4O5, and 400 Primrose Road, I20I Howard Avenue, and P.T.& T.,
increases in personnel will result in a demand for 193 more }ong-term
parking stalls by 1980. It was suggested that increased parking fees
and fines could be used to underwrite additional parking enforcement.
It was suggested that these increases be discussed at. the next Comrnission
meeting. The test site recommendations were discussed. Conrmissioner
Graham suggested that only rough checks need be made to ascertain any
changes in parking habits. No recommendations were made.
