J~ . . <br />PE <br />r' <br />\~~~' <br />Office of the Mayor <br />NEWS RELEASE <br />October 10, 2007 <br />5:30 p.m. <br />City to monitor lawn parking under new ordinance <br />Contact: Chuck Leone, City Attorney, 235-9241, <br />Property owners who park vehicles on their lawns during Saturday's University of Notre <br />Dame -home football game will have their activities monitored and documented by city <br />Code Enforcement regulators and South Bend police officers. <br />The city's new special events parking ordinance was passed Sept. 24 by the South Bend <br />Common Council and is now in effect. Documentation collected during game day will be <br />referred to the city's Legal Department for enforcement decisions. Saturday's home game <br />against Boston College is the first since the ordinance's passage. <br />Under the legislation now in effect, city property owners wanting to park vehicles on <br />lawns during Notre Dame home football games need to submit an application and pay a <br />$5 fee by 4:45 p.m. the Thursday before game day. Violators risk a citation and a $50 <br />fine for the first offense. Subsequent offenses will result in higher fines and the risk of <br />cancellation or prohibition of future lawn parking. Fines can reach as high as $2,500 for <br />chronic violators. <br />City law prohibits parking in front yards in residential neighborhoods, but the new special <br />events ordinance defined exceptions for Residential One-Day Conditional Use lawn <br />parking with specific terms and conditions. <br />As of today, no applications had been filed with the city's Department of Administration <br />and Finance for aspecial-events parking permit, although about one dozen applications <br />were requested by residents. <br />"This first weekend of enforcement will give us the sense of the amount of resources the <br />city needs to commit to ensuring that public safety is maintained," said City Attorney <br />Chuck Leone. "The extensive discussion of this ordinance before its passage should help <br />provide a high level of cooperation and compliance,." <br />
