CityCouncil | 2016-05-03 | 12 | is being developed. Councilmember Daysog stated the project will be a win for the site on Webster Street and for the residents in the surrounding the area; he would like a parking permit plan for the area; suggested waiving the fee for residents for two years to address residents' concerns. Councilmember Oddie stated the Webster Street Vision Plan was developed by the community and is what the community wants; the parking issues do not have a health and safety impact; he supports upholding the Planning Boards approval; there is metered parking on Webster Street; the parking shortage is on the retail side; the City needs to review park and rides and casual carpools; the City should have a staff presentation and discussion so residents know how to start a parking permit program. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the Planning Board approval. [Adoption of the resolution.] Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog requested the motion be amended to uphold the Planning Board approval and include waivers to residents, for a limit of two years, for the fees associated with the parking permit. Councilmember Oddie did not accept the amendment. Vice Mayor Matarrese amended the motion to monitor post construction to understand how the experiment of the shared parking program works. Councilmember Oddie accepted the amendment. Councilmember Daysog requested the motion be amended to have staff conduct an outreach effort immediately to let residents know about the parking permit system and notice the homes within 300 feet circumference; stated eliminating the fee can be a separate subject. Councilmember Oddie and Vice Mayor Matarrese accepted the amendment. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if Councilmember Daysog's amendment is a matter of the City imposing the parking permit fee on a neighborhood.
