24:43•David Wolf

Sorry, I didn't understand what you said.

27:41 – 28:55•David Wolf

Thank you. Any other public comment? Okay, I think just for the council's edification again, you've heard a lot of things about parking, and parking in the streets has become a significant issue for the neighborhood. Again, I think the challenge that we're seeing is basically it's a two-way street, and in a lot of places we're seeing now cars are parked along one entire street. It's part of the street. So when one car is coming one way and the other car is coming the other way, we're on the same side of the street. And it's becoming a significant challenge and just actually technically dangero

31:15•David Wolf

I mean, I think that's a conversation more, again, for the BAC president that's here to continue to think how we address that because it continues to be a problem for sure.

31:26 – 31:41•Alejandro Levy

Just one question. So for my own education, those roads are private, correct, inside the community. So why are we going to decide on what they can do or not do on those roads? Because it's still an ordinance of the city. So we're modifying an ordinance.

31:44 – 32:00•Alejandro Levy

The main complaint that I heard is that the parking on the street, not the parking in the houses. I'm lost. I'm not sure what we decided on. We decided on them being able to park on the street. No, no.

32:00 – 32:14•David Wolf

This motion is not about parking on the street. That's just people are talking because that's an issue. But the motion is about, again, if you read the motion and the changes to the ordinance, is about changes of the garage facing and the requirements around that. That's what we're voting on.

32:17 – 32:38•David Wolf

Correct. Yeah, just how you're going to build a house. There's a separate issue that has to be addressed, but that's not what this is addressing. So, okay, I'll make the motion. You want to amend that, yeah? Yeah, so we need a motion to amend. We're moving those last two sentences in section... 21-3941. Yeah, 3841. 3841, yeah.

33:30•David Wolf

No, I mean, I think it has been socialized. Again, we just saw it. I think there's a very minor, that modification is a very minor modification.

41:58•David Wolf

Where are you speaking? What part of the ordinance are you speaking of?

42:41•David Wolf

It does say front setback. It should change to front setback, which is really the rear.

45:47•David Wolf

Great. Thank you. Council, any questions, comments? Public comment?

45:58•David Wolf

Okay. Make a motion. Do we need to amend with that one wording? Yes.

46:16•David Wolf

Okay. I'll make that amendment. Do we need to vote on that amendment? I know. Okay.

46:48•David Wolf

Excellent. Okay. We will close or adjourn the LPA meeting at this time and rejoin our regular council meeting.
