CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consider Revised Parking Restrictions for
Snow Emergency
DATE: September 18,2001
INTRODUCTION:
The Public Works Department and the Police Department have reviewed the available
alternatives for revising the current ordinance on restrictive parking for snowy parking
for the City of Shakopee and will present the alternatives for consideration' by the City
Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City. of Shakopee has had an ordinance for calendar parking throughout the City
except for the Central Business District and snow emergency routes where no parking on
either side of the street is allowed for snow removal. The current ordinance has a parking
restriction in the City Code, Section 9.50, Subd. 2 and is as follows:
. Between November 15th and April I st, inclusive, parking is prohibited on the west
and south side of streets or avenues on odd number days for the day beginning at
2:00 A.M. and until 6:00 A.M. and on the east and north side of streets or avenues
on even number of days for the day beginning at 2 ;00 A.M. and until 6;00 A.M.
Another provision of the City Code in Section 9.50, Subd. 2, Paragraph C states as
follows:
. The parking restrictions described in this subdivision will be in effect and
enforced when weather conditions warrant plowing and shall continue in effect
until the same roadway has been plowed or removed to the full width of the
roadway thereon.
The difficulty with these ordinance provisions is that the calendar parking provision is
somewhat confusing and difficult to understand, and thus getting compliance from the
public has been difficult. Also in :paragraph C, staff believes the intent of this ordinance
is to restrict parking on at least one side of the street until the street has been plowed. Per .
Paragraph A, one could argue that the restriction is over at 6 :00 A.M. Thus the public
could . park on both sides of the street and restrict and hamper the snow removal
operations even further.
The Police Department and the Public Works Department have met to discuss the
alternatives and these alternatives are as follows:
Alternative No.1 - A year round parking restriction on City streets and alleys from 2:00
A.M. to 6:00 A.M. with a snow emergency parking restriction for when a snow event of 2
inches or more or a snow emergency has been declared so that vehicles are not parked on
City streets or alleys until such streets or alleys have had the snow removed or plowed
from curb to curb. Also, staff would recommend in this alternative, as well as with the
other alternatives, that the towing provision be modified so as .not to allow a four hour
waiting period from the initial tagging of the vehicle in which the vehicle could be
subject to a tow at their expense. Likewise the City may wish to consider modifying the
hardship provision in the City Code for any parking restrictions that is revised.
Alternatives 2 - A parking restriction from November 1st until April 1st on City streets
from 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. and also have a similar snow emergency parking restriction
for when a snow event of 2 inches or more or snow emergency has been declared.
Alternative No.3 - A snow emergency parking restriction for both sides of the street
after a 2-inch snowfall andwould allow calendar parking on the street similar to what the
current ordinance provides for times that a snow emergency is not in effe.ct.
Alternative No.4 - Change the current calendar parking provision to a odd-even parking
with the public able to park on the even numbered street address side of the street on the
even day of the month beginning at midnight until 8:00 A.M. Similarly, on an odd day of
the month, the public would be able to park adjacent to building bearing odd numbered
street addresses beginning at midnight until 8:00 A.M.
Alternative No.5 - This alternative would be a composite utilizing calendar parking
with odd number and even number addresses on those odd and even days in a certain
area, such as the downtown and old urban Shakopee and utilize Alternative No.1, which
is no parking on City streets from 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. year round. This alternative
would be more difficult to administer. However it would take into account the different
parking situations in the different areas of the City.
Alternative No.6 - Do nothing alternative and leave the current ordinance in its present
form.
In review of all the alternatives, the conclusion between the Police Department and the
Public Works Department is that Alternative No.1 would address one of the parking
problems that City residents have been experiencing, such as those on Sarazin Street and
Roundhouse Street north of c.R. 16, This alternative would remove vehicles from City
streets on a year round basis. This ordinance is similar to what is in place in the City of
Savage. In addition the snow emergency parking restriction would also be recommended
in order to keep the vehicles off of the City streets until the street has been plowed. This
provision would provide for a safer and more efficient and more easily enforced
ordinance throughout the City. Attached to this memo is a memo from the Chief of
Police with a recommendation and reasons for their recommendation.
With any alternative, staff would recommend that the City Attorney be directed to revise
the ordinance and to announce the ordinance change in the Shakopee Valley News and on
Cable TV for any comments. Staff would then bring back the ordinance for final
adoption and the public would be given an opportunity to comment on this ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
I. Discuss the parking restriction alternatives for snow emergencies and provide
staff with direction on whether to revise the current code and to utilize what
alternative.
2. Table for additional infonnation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend that the City Council discuss the parking restriction alternatives
that have been included in. this memo and provide staff with direction on the revisions to
the City Code. Staff is recommending Alternative No.1, which is a year round
restriction from 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. and to provide a snow emergency parking
restriction that prohibits parking on City street or alleys until the snow has been removed
or plowed from curb to curb with a revision to the towing provision in the City Code to
eliminate a four hour waiting period.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Provide staff direction for snow emergency parking restrictions and direct the City
Attorney to make the appropriate ordinance change to be considered at a future meeting.

TO: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
FROM: Dan Hughes, Chief OfPOlice'jW
SUBJECT: Parking Ordinance Discussion
This is a follow-up to our meeting held on September 10th, regarding parking restrictions and
enforcement. We both agree that our current ordinance is confusing and difficult to enforce.
Within the past two weeks Mike Hullander attended a Police Department Supervisor's meeting to
talk about this issue.. The consensus of the Police Department leadership group was to prohibit parking
between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. twelve months a year. This type of parking ordinance would
accomplish the following things:
. It is clearly understandable. It is very similar to other City Ordinances regarding parking
restrictions, including the Cities of Savage, Apple Valley and Bumsville. Prior Lake also has
this restriction, but only during the winter season.
. This restriction is easily posted at entrances to the City of Shakopee, which is the procedure for
cities that have similar restrictions.
. Voluntary compliance. I believe most community members will voluntarily comply with
ordinances as they become aware ofthem. Since most will comply, it would allow city streets
to be open for maintenance and snow removal during those hours of parking restrictions. A 12-
month restriction may be acceptable to members of the community, addressing Mary .
Romanskey's issue on Roundhouse and Sarazin.
. The City currently has a restriction that a vehicle cannot be on a street more than 24-hours. A
judge recently dismissed a citation due to the fact that there was not notice to community
members, Le., signs within the City of Shakopee regarding this ordinance. In addition, we (the
Police Department) try to enforce this ordinance but have found that some community members
are well aware ofthe 24-hour restriction and will move their vehicles (boats, campers, etc., 1 or
2 inches daily so as not to be in violation of the 24-hour parking restriction.

Memo - Bruce Loney
Parking Ordinance Discussion
In addition to this recommendation, the City Council may wish to consider the events where plowing
of City streets must be done, regardless of any other parking restriction. They should prohibit on-street
parking whenever it is necessary that snowplow operations are in progress.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No. 614
An Ordinance Pertaining to Vehicle Parking Restrictions
And Amending Section 9.50 of the City Code
DATE: October 2,2001
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Ordinance No. 614, an ordinance pertaining to vehicle parking restrictions
and amending Section 9.50 of the City Code, after direction from the City Council at the
September 18, 2001 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 18, 2001 City Council meeting, the City Council considered several
alternatives in revising the ordinance that regulates parking during snow removal periods
in the City of Shakopee. After much discussion, the City Council directed staff to utilize .
Alternative No.5, with a combination of Alternative No.2, so that there would be two
areas within the City of Shakopee one having calendar parking restrictions and the other
having no parking restrictions during the winter period of November 1 through March 31.
City staff and the City Attorney have worked together to revise Ordinance 9.50, which
accomplishes the Council direction. In this ordinance, the area defined that would allow
calendar parking is described as the area west of Marschall Road, north of lOth Avenue
and east ofC.R. 69 to the Minnesota River. This area would be allowed to have calendar
parking based on an odd and even address. and odd and even calendar days. This
ordinance provision means that on one side of the street during the winter months, in this
area, parking is allowed on one side of the street. Two exceptions in this area that
currently exists in the current ordinance is in the Central Business District and along 2nd
Avenue, from Sommerville Street and Naumkeag Street. Staff is recommending no
change in these regulations at this time.
In the other areas of City, outside of the area described previously, parking restrictions
between the period of November I and March 31 would be that no parking would be
allowed on City streets between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. In addition to these parking
restrictions, during November 1 t9 March 31, a snow emergency which is defined as a
following streets in the Central Business District between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. on ~ny day of
thf'l Yf'lAr' to=wit: Second A venue, First A venue and Levee Drive between Sommerville and Fuller
Stree~ and Lewis Street, Holmes Street and Fuller Street between Second Avenue and Levee
Drive.
Sec. 3. Section 9.50, Subdivision 7 of the Shakopee City Code is amended to read as follows:
Suhrl. 7. Towing. Persons in violation of the parking restrictions outlined in this Section and
parking on designated snow emergency routes, shall be tagged and ~mhject to heing towed at their
own expense. In a1eas 110t designated as 5110\19 t;J1J.ergeaG)I routes, persons in violation shall illltially

snowfall of2".or more, the parking restrictions described in this revised ordinance would
still be in effect until the street or alley has been plowed.

publicized in the local newspaper, thus these changes that City Council has been
considering may not be widely known to the public. The Council can consider adopting
this ordinance at the October 2, 2001 meeting or delay this adoption until October 16,
2001 after a news article has be published on the proposed changes.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 614, an ordinance pertaining to vehicle parking restrictions
and amending Section 9.50 ofthe City Code.
2. Delay the adoption of this ordinance to the October 16, 2001 Council meeting
until the public has had a chance to respond.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. I, to adopt Ordinance No. 614 and publish this
ordinance so that the public can be informed of the new restrictions to this coming snow
season.
ACTION REQUESTED:

CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney,. Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No. 614
An Ordinance Pertaining to Vehicle Parking Restrictions
And Amending Section 9.50 of the City Code
DATE: October 16, 2001
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Ordinance No. 614, an ordinance pertaining to vehicle parking . restrictions
and amending Section 9.50 of the City Code, after direction from the City Council at the
September 18, 2001 City Council meeting and a notice in the Shakopee Valley News.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 18, 2001 City Council meeting, the City Council considered several
alternatives in revising the ordinance that regulates parking during snow removal periods
in the City of Shakopee. After much discussion, the City Council directed staff to utilize
Alternative No.5, with a combination of Alternative No.2, so that there would be two ('
areas within the.City of Shakopee one having calendar parking restrictions and the other
having no parking restrictions during the winter period of November 1 through April!. J
(
City staff and the City Attorney have worked together to revise Ordinance 9.50, which
accomplishes the Council direction. In this ordinance, the area defined that would allow
calendar parking is described as the area west of Marschall Road, north of 10th Avenue
and east of C.R. 69 to the Minnesota River. This area would be allowed to have calendar
parking based on an odd and even address and odd and even calendar days. This
ordinance provision means that on one side of the street during the winter months, in this
area, parking is allowed on one side of the street. Two exceptions in this area that
currently exists in the current ordinance is in the Central Business District and along 2nd
Avenue, from Sommerville Street and Naumkeag Street. Staff is recommending no
change in these regulations at this time.
In the other areas of City, outside of the area described previously, parking restrictions
between the period of November 1 and April 1 would be that no parking would be
allowed on City streets between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. In addition to these parking
restrictions, during November I to April 1, a snow emergency which is defined as a
.
snowfall of 2" or more,. the parking restrictions described in this revised ordinance would
still be in effect until the street or alley has been plowed.
The City Council delayed action on this ordinance until an article could be published in
the local paper.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 614, an ordinance pertaining to vehicle parking restrictions
and amending Section 9.50 of the City Code.
2. Deny Ordinance No. 614
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. I, to adopt Ordinance No. 614 and publish this
ordinance so that the public can be informed of the new restrictions to this coming snow
season.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer Ordinance No. 614, An Ordinance Pertaining to Vehicle Parking Restrictions and
Amending Section 9.50 of the City Code and move its adoption.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Discussion of Parking Vehicle Restrictions
DATE: November 15,2001
~
-. - .- - - ... -
INTRODUCTION:
At its meeting of November 20th, the City Council will be asked to hear concerns of
Shakopee residents regarding recently enacted changes to the City Code on parking
restrictions.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 18th City Council meeting, the Council first heard proposals from staff
to restrict on-street parking during snow removal periods in the City. The reasons for the
recommended changes were to facilitate snow removal and street maintenance
operations, and to facilitate enforcement of other on-street parking restrictions.
A summary of changes is as follows:
. "Old Shakopee" (area north of 10th Avenue, and west of Marschall Road)-
calendar parking November 1st - March 31st.
. Remainder of Shako pee (south of 10th Avenue and east of Marschall Road) -no
parking 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM, November 1 st_March 31 st.
. No parking on any street after 2" snowfalls, until after snow has been plowed curb
to curb.
. Downtown area, and area of 2nd Avenue between Sommerville and Naumkeag
Streets would retain previously existing parking restrictions.
A copy of a memo from Public Works Director Bruce Loney dated October 2nd is
attached, which gives more detail.
Enactment of these changes was delayed twice, so as to allow sufficient time to publish a
story in the local newspaper, and give residents an opportunity to comment before
enactment. However, publication did not take place, and in order for the ordinance
changes to be enacted in time to prgvide a transitional ''warning'' period before the
normal first snowfall, the Council did enact this on October 17 .
Beginning November 1 st, the Police Department began issuing "warning" notices to
vehicles that were parked in violation of this ordinance. Judging from the number of
warning tickets issued, there was still a sizeable portion ofthe community that had not
been aware of the changes, which ultimately were described in a newspaper story
published after enactment. Note that advisory signing has been delivered, and installed in
most locations.
Since the warning tickets have been issued, City staff, especially the Police Department,
and some Council members have received calls from residents who are upset with the
changes. Several have noted an inability to comply, owing to the lack of available off
street parking options at their particular residences. Several have requested an
opportunity to speak before the City Council about these changes. -
For this reason, an agenda item has been placed on the November 20th City Council
meeting to allow for an opportunity to discuss.
ACTION REQUIRED:
The Council should hear concerns of the affected residents, and give direction to staff as
to what, ifany, changes it wishes to make to Section 9.5 of the City Code.
