REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1989
parking spaces available that were occupied only twenty-two
per cent (22%) of the time. Ordinance requirements
indicate that the spaces must be occupied at least
seventy-five per cent ( 75 %) of the time. Also, of the
eighty (80) spaces available, twenty-one per cent (21%)
were occupied by non-residents. Ordinance requirements
indicate that they must be occupied by non-residents at
least twenty-five per cent (25%) of the time. Therefore,
because ordinance requirements have not been met, it is
recommended that this request be denied. Mrs. DeClercq
made a motion that the recommendation to deny the request
be accepted and approved. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the
motion which carried.
Additionally, a study of the 2300 block of Erskine
Boulevard was conducted and it was noted that there are
seventeen (17) parking spaces available in this area and
that they were occupied only sixty per cent (60%) of the
time. Ordinance requirements indicate that they must be
occupied at least seventy-five per cent (75%) of the time.
Also, of the seventeen (17) spaces available, forty-four
per cent (44%) were occupied by non-residents. Ordinance
requirements indicate that they must be occupied by
non-residents at least twenty-five per cent (25%) of the
time. In this instance ordinance requirements were met.
However, both ordinance requirements must be met before a
restricted residential parking zone can be established.
Therefore, the request must be denied. Mrs. DeClercq made

approved. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion which
carried.
