Subject: On Street Parking in Southside Place
In response to ZPC's request that I look in to the overnight parking regulations in Southside Place, I spoke with
David Moss, City Manager and he offered the following:
The regulations were in place prior to 1999 when he began working for SSP, so he did not know if there was a
difficult learning curve or acclimation time for the citiizens. He said that on the whole, most of the residents are on
board with the regulations and comply. There is a $10.00 fee for any vehicle left on the streets which is assessed
through the police department as a municipal citation.
The basic regulation is that no vehicle may be left parked in the street (and including blocking a public walk)
between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. This applies 7 days per week. There are exceptions that must be
obtained and approved through the police department, and during holiday periods, they generally suspend the
rules for a week or two on either side of the actual holiday. Some exceptions might be for guests or visitors, a
private party or event, etc.
Please have copies of this available for the meeting tomorrow night.
Thank you. (~(1
