SUBJECT: Discussion of Winter Parking Restrictions & Snow Emergency Concepts (B)
Action Sought
Provide direction on Winter Parking Restrictions for 2013-2014 on continuing the current
ordinance or to bring back a revised ordinance.
Background
From the October 15, 2013 City Council meeting, Council directed staff to bring back information
on winter parking restrictions and discussion on a snow emergency parking concept.
The current parking restrictions were adopted in 2001 and revisited in 2005. Attached are memos
on the information and discussion prior to adopting Ordinance No. 614 and the review in 2005.
The revision in 2001 changed the City from all calendar parking to calendar parking in the "Old
Shakopee" and no parking in the new areas from November 1 to March 31 and from 2:00 AM to
6:00 AM. Those parking restrictions remain in force when there is a snowfall of 2" or more and
until the street is plowed curb to curb. The 2" or more snowfall triggers an automatic snow
emergency per the ordinance. Once the street is plowed curb to curb, residents can park on the
street except as per winter parking restrictions.
Staff did investigate nearby cities and attached are the parking restrictions for Chaska,
Chanhassen, Savage, Prior Lake, Lakeville and Burnsville. Most cities are similar to our current
ordinance with Savage and Burnsville having restrictions year round and only Chaska has
calendar parking throughout their City.
The main discussion on the current ordinance is whether to allow parking when it is not snowing
and to have vehicles comply with the winter parking restrictions ordinance upon a snow
emergency (2" or more).
From an operation standpoint, vehicles not in the street when plowing, is the most efficient and
safest operation for the workers and residents. If residents forget to remove their vehicles in a
snow emergency, the towing of vehicles will be necessary to complete snow removal operations.
If the vehicles remain, snow removal will be hampered and staff will need to go back the
following day to clean up.
Typically, snow plowing operating is for all streets to plowed one day and snow removal of the
downtown area the next day. Removal of snow by parked vehicles will add to the plowing
operation.
Another issue raised for discussion was to go with calendar parking for the entire city. Calendar
parking works for "Old Shakopee" as the streets are on a grid system. In the new areas, there are
several curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs in which calendar parking can be confusing. Also in
Southbridge, the streets are 30 feet in width and parking on one side all year round. Thus the
decision in 2001 to not have calendar parking in the new areas and new subdivision lots which
typically have 2 or 3 car garages and wide driveways.
Another factor to consider is that the equipment purchased today and in past y ears is most
effective for when cars are not on the street.
In summary, for Public Works perspective, the current ordinance has worked well to be efficient
in a snow emergency and is the safest for the operators and residents.
Recommendation
Staff recommends to leave the ordinance as it currently exists.
Budget Impact
Could increase cost to plowing operations if cars are allowed on streets where they are not
currently.
Relationship to Vision
This supports Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by staff of well-trained,
caring, and professional employees.
Requested Action
Provide direction on Winter Parking Restrictions for 2013-2014 on continuing the current
ordinance or to bring back a revised ordinance.

CITY OF SHA.KOPEE
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 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 10`x' 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 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 to 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 any day of
thy.year to-wit: Second Avenue, First Avenue and Levee Drive between Sommerville and Fuller
Streets, and Lewis Street, Holmes Street and Fuller Street between Second Avenue and Levee
Drive.
See.3.Section 9.50,Subdivision 7 of the Shakopee City Code is amended to read as follows:
Subd- I Inning,, Persons in violation of the parking restrictions outlined in this Section and
parking on designated snow emergency routes, shall be tagged and subject to in towed at their

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.
It should be pointed out to City Council that this revised parking restriction has not been
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 of the 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.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1, 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,

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.
•summary of changes is as follows:
+ "Old Shakopee"(area north of 10"'Avenue, and west of Marschall Road)—
calendar parking November I"—March 31St,
Remainder of Shakopee(south of S 0t`Avenue and east of Marschall Road)—no
parking 2:00 AM-6:00 AM,November is`March 31St.
• No parking on any street after 2"snowfalls, until after snow has been plowed curb
to curb.
• Downtown area, and area of 2 Avenue between Sommerville and Naumkeag
Streets would retain previously existing parking restrictions.
•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 provide a transitional"warninf period before the
normal first snowfall,the Council did enact this on October 17 .
Beginning November I",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 of the 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 2&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,if any,changes it wishes to make to Section 9.5 of the City Code.

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.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Police Department
Memorandum
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Jeff Tate, Chief of Police/Emergency Management Director
SUBJECT: Winter Parking Enforcement
DATE: November 6, 2013
BACKGROUND
The police department has been educating and enforcing the winter parking ordinance
since its adoption in 2001. Since then,there have been multiple discussions with council
on the effectiveness of this particular ordinance.
Despite this ordinance being over a decade old, the police department has always taken
the approach that education is more important than enforcement. The city has used every
communication tool at our disposal to inform residents of the winter parking regulations.
Additionally,the police department places warning tickets on violators' vehicles before
any ticket is written. Since its inception,the police department has always issued more
warnings than tickets. We've found this to be effective in reducing violations prior to
major snow fall, and it is our current plan to continue with that practice again this year.
Despite all of our warnings and education efforts, we still see violators when snow
accumulates. For multiple reasons, those few violations are problematic to deal with
when the snow plows go out. First,when it snows, officers are often responding to other
calls for service and accidents associated with weather. This takes them away from
enforcement and towing violators. Secondly,this ordinance takes effect between 2:00
a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Our staffing minimums are at our lowest for the day during these
times (three officers). Lastly,patrol officers cannot ticket and tow faster than the plows
go by. If there are numerous traffic accidents, it may be more than a day before an officer
can get to a violation. The result is several "snow birds",which requires the public works
department to go back and redo the street on a later date.
This highlights the importance of obtaining voluntary compliance prior to any snowfall
accumulating. The police department does feel strongly that without the education efforts
and the current language in the ordinance,we would have many more vehicles in
violation if we only waited for snow fall to trigger enforcement.
