REQUEST: The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) received a request from Cindy Lindgren, on behalf of the Christian Science Church, for a loading zone at 204 South Oak Street. Please refer to Ms. Lindgren's request, Attachment "A ". A photomap, Attachment "B ", has been provided for reference. DISCUSSION: Ms. Lindgren requested a loading zone in order to facilitate arrival and departure of elderly parishioners and for the yard maintenance crew. In discussion with Ms. Lindgren, staff suggested that a loading zone would be better suited on the Church Street frontage of the church due to the high volume of parked cars on South Oak Street. Since both materials and passengers are proposed to be loaded /unloaded at the church, a yellow loading zone is the appropriate designation. Per City Code section 7180, the City Traffic Engineer (Traffic Engineering Committee) is authorized to determine and mark loading zones. Please refer to Attachment "C ", an excerpt from the City Code on loading zones. Also, please note that yellow loading zones are only for the hours between 7 am and 6 pm daily except Sundays and holidays. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve the request for a yellow loading zone. 2) Refer to staff for further analysis. cc: file January 18, 2011 Traffic and Engineering Committee City of Ukiah 300 Seminary Ave. Ukiah, CA 95482 Attention: Traffic and Engineering Committee Atfiachment # k\ RECEIVED JAN 1 9 2011 CITY OF UKIAH DEPT.

REQUEST: The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) received a request from Paul Smith, Water Treatment Plant Supervisor, for a loading zone on Oak Manor Drive adjacent to the Well #8 pumphouse. Please refer to Mr. Smith's request, Attachment "A ". A photomap, Attachment "B ", has been provided for reference. DISCUSSION: Mr. Smith requested a loading zone in order to facilitate daily maintenance operations at the pumphouse.

RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve the request for a yellow loading zone. 2) Refer to staff for further analysis. cc: file Rick Seanor Attachment # Jm: Paul Smith Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 8:39 AM To: Rick Seanor Subject: Well #8 parking Rick, As you know, the City has constructed a new well on Oak Manor Dr. Operations at the site will require staff to bring supplies, especially liquid chlorine, to this site every few days. This process will require the unloading of chemical from the back of a service truck and taking it to the well building. Parking in front of the chlorine room on Oak Manor Dr. is impeded quite often. My guess is that the users of the tennis courts that adjoin the well building are using the parking spots in front of the building. It is my request, that a designated loading zone twenty five (25) feet in length, be placed on Oak Manor Dr. in front of the well building so Water Treatment Plant personnel can access the walkway to the chlorine room.
