COUNCIL CHAMBER - May 21, 2001 Council met in regular session on this date with the following members present: Mr. Caravati, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Richards, Mr. Toscano. AWARDS/RECOGNITIONS: MENTAL HEALTH MONTH/PUBLIC WORKS WEEK Mr. Caravati presented the Mental Health Month proclamation to Ms. Kate Gaston of the Mental Health Association. Mr. Caravati presented the Public Works Week proclamation to Ms. Judith Mueller, Director of Public Works. PUBLIC Mr. Steve Stem, 1632 Keith Valley Road, said he was sorry he was unable to accept the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month proclamation at the last Council meeting, and gave an update on teen pregnancy prevention activities over the past year. Mr. David Schmidt, 1604 Stoney Creek Drive, representing Habitat for Humanities, invited Council and the public to attend the Volunteer Recognition Banquet. Mr. Paul Grady, a resident of Crozet, commended Council for including the interchange at the intersection of Route 250 Bypass and the Meadowcreek Parkway, and said he thinks Council should build it now even if they have to borrow money to do it. Mr. Grady also suggested using 4th Street, N.E. to relieve traffic on Ridge Street. Mr. Nick Liacona, 630 Park Street, said the proposed permit parking on Park Lane East would not allow people in his apartment building, which also faces on Park Lane, to park on that street. Mr. Liacona said the apartment parking is not adequate and parking is needed on Park Lane East. Mr. Caravati said that no action will be taken tonight to approve permit parking for Park Lane East as new surveys are being conducted. Ms, Richards asked that Mr. Jim Tolbert, Director of Neighborhood Development Services, contact Mr. Liacona to discuss the matter. Mr. George Perkovich, 613 Park Lane East, said he lives next door to the apartment building where Mr. Liacona lives. Mr. Perkovich said that because the apartments have a Park Street address, they were not included in the survey for permit parking. Mr. Perkovich said there is no parking available on Park Street for the apartment residents. Mr. Perkovich recommended that the City rethink how the apartment is designated so that their parking needs can be met. Mr. Buck Dorman, 630 Park Street, agreed with Mr. Perkovich and said that there was no problem with parking on Park Lane East until the traffic calming project on Park Street was installed. Mr. Dorman said that many of the vehicles parking on Park Lane East work at the National Ground Intelligence Center, and when they relocate the parking situation should ease up.
