Recommendation
This referral was made by Ald. E. Payne. Residents at the Madison House Condo’s at the corner of Madison & Ann Street have requested the City to allow overnight parking on Ann Street and/or Fuller Street to accommodate family members and guests who need to park overnight. The review of this has also been expanded to include all of the Central Business District. The Central Business District perimeter is defined as intersection of Wisconsin and East Ave., north on East Ave. to Main St., west to Barstow St., north to North St., southwest to Wisconsin Ave. and east to East Ave. Ann Street falls within this area. Code 7.04(6)(a) states that no overnight parking is allowed in the Central Business District. Other than Ann Street or Fuller Street, no other street in the downtown area seems appropriate to allow overnight parking. Since an ordinance would have to be changed to allow overnight parking, the Department of Public works recommends that the buildings and grounds committee refer this item to the Ordinance and License Committee.
