 Prousa speaks about the concerns from residents that are unable to park their
 vehicles on driveways that are shortened and one car garages. He also speaks about
 the pilot program that the city initiated that has been successful for two HOA’s. The
 pilot program has been continuously evaluated by City departments and those
 departments have found no concerns with the on street parking during the
 overnight hours. City staff would like to elevate the pilot program to a city program
 that could take in new HOA’s if they fit criteria laid out in the program.

 Melaniphy asks the board if they have any questions.


 Seeberg asks if the pilot program has been running since 2013 and why are we
 looking at it now.


 Prousa states that the pilot program has been running since its inception and that
 the last year or two staff has received numerous concerns regarding the overnight
 parking issues that these communities are having. Prousa states that because there
 have been no concerns with operations from city departments, staff felt it was the
 right time to consider the program.


 Seeberg asks if there is any data or surveys from the pilot areas on how the program
 is going.


 Prousa states that staff has reached out to both HOA’s for feedback regarding the
 program and both HOA’s had no concerns with how it was running.


 Webb asks if enforcement is complaint based.


 Prousa states that they are.


 Webb asks if on average we know how many citations are issued regarding
 overnight parking.


 Traffic Sergeant Krakow states that he does not have the exact stats but in terms of
 overnight parking there are upwards of 200 complaints that are active. Krakow
 states that they are mostly from the last year.


 Webb asks if most of them are in townhome or condo communities.


 Krakow states that they are not but he does not have the exact data on that.

 Hurley asks if staff knows what the percentage of neighborhoods that have HOA’s
 in Naperville is.


 Prousa states that he does not know the percentage. He states that generally
 speaking townhome and condo communities are represented by an active HOA.
 The pilot program was successful because the HOAs were active in participation.


 Melaniphy asks if there are any speakers for the public forum.


 The first speaker is Heather McDonald. She asks how the program will be enforced
 overtime and whether or not they will be fined.


 Prousa states that all parking ordinance violations will be given a ticket if reported
 to a police officer. He goes on to mention that the program will be evaluated
 constantly to ensure that compliance is occurring. Prousa also states that the


City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 5/22/2023
Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - Final May 5, 2022

 program can be ended at anytime if an HOA is showing continued compliance
 issues with city operations.


 Melaniphy asks if the intent is for the HOA to do beginning enforcement and to
 escalate to city staff or the police department if continued operation issues persist.


 Prousa states that that is correct.


 Heather McDonald asks if the escalation eventually gets to the police department.


 Prousa states that escalations will be reported to the police if they are breaking city
 ordinance. Staff will also be made aware of the violations and that will be recorded.


 The next speaker is Jeff Allen. He speaks on how his HOA and himself supports the
 ordinance and that there is pressure on parking in his HOA and that they already
 have people breaking the overnight ordinance and that this program would be able
 to help those people. He also states that the City can look into doing the overnight
 parking on different sides of the street on different days. This would open the
 street too street cleaning and plowing. He lastly says that he is for this program and
 adding his HOA.


 The next speaker is Russ Mathey. He speaks about the need for the parking program
 in his neighborhood. He speaks that the main issues with a condo association is that
 people park in the wrong places and that there are lot of cars for limited amount of
 parking on the HOAs property. He states that it is confusing on how the HOA can
 pass out the hangtags, he believes that the HOA could potentially have issues with
 passing out the HOA passes.


 Prousa states that the City is just providing potentials methods for distribution for
 the HOA.


 The next speaker is James Laures. States the rollout of the Overnight Parking
 Program (“OPP”) to all Naperville neighborhoods strikes me as “taking a
 sledge-hammer-to-kill-a-fly” response to a small problem that is unique to a few
 Naperville neighborhoods zoned for and with multifamily residences and, as a
 result, will result in many more serious, unanticipated problems than the one OPP
 is attempting to address. Therefore, TAB should vote NO on OPP. My specific
 comments are:


 Property Values-Property values are very important to Naperville residents.
 Anything like OPP that result in congested and parked-up neighborhood streets will
 negatively impact property values. Conversely, neighborhoods that are not
 congested and parked up are more desirable to home buyers (and viewed as safer -
 less risk of their small children darting out from behind parked cars and behind
 parked cars and being hit). Also, in neighborhoods that adopt OPP, residents (who
 plan to sell their homes at some point) will want overnight parking hangtags as a
 value-added enticement for potential buyers of their homes.

Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - Final May 5, 2022

 Chicago Type Parking Headaches-Many Naperville residents have experienced
 Chicago’s neighborhood parking headaches and do not want similar experiences in
 Naperville. Rolling out OPP to all HOAs will create many more Chicago-like
 problems as residents scramble to secure and defend parking areas in front of their
 homes from neighbors and strangers who use OPP to keep their garages and
 driveways free by distributing their vehicles around the neighborhood.


 Snow Removal Deterioration-Snow removal from cul-de-sacs will deteriorate as
 they become parked up with hangtag vehicles owned by both cul-de-sac residents
 and those living elsewhere in the neighborhood, resulting in dangerous driving
 conditions and increased need for repeat plowings.


 24-hour, 7 day-week Street Parking-OPP will result in overnight residential street
 parking becoming 24-hour, 7-day-week parking, as residents find new reasons to
 use OPP to keep garages and driveways clear by moving their vehicles in front of
 neighbors’ homes. As the result of OPP, a garage can be used for storage, a
 workshop or game area and a driveway can be used for a basketball court, play area,
 etc. Also, a Class B motorhome or F350 pickup truck (under 8,000lbs) previously
 stored on the driveway now can be moved to the street. Exacerbating this growth in
 on-street parking will be residents wanting hangtags to secure and defend the
 parking areas in front of their homes from others using these spaces. Hence,
 parked-up residential streets become the norm, not rather the exception.


 HOA OPP Capabilities-Socially-oriented HOAs that do not receive legally-required
 monthly dues generally are not equipped to effectively manage OPP-ensuring that
 it is fairly implemented for all HOA members (including those not in favor of it),
 accounting for hangtags, enforcement, and timely resolving of HOA member
 complaints that surely will arise. Absent effective HOA enforcement and timely
 resolution of complaints, HOA members’ only recourse will be to Naperville police
 and/or departments for help.


 Overnight Parking Complaints-At a recent TAB meetings, Naperville police states
 there were less than 200 open overnight parking complaints, a minuscule .36% per
 Naperville’s 55,000 households, which indicates the problem for which OPP was
 developed is being effectively managed by the vast majority of Naperville
 neighborhoods and their residents, and Naperville Police.


 In summary, for the reasons discussed above, please vote NO on OPP. Thank you.


 The next speaker is Nancy Laures. The Overnight Parking Program Pilot programs
 conducted in townhome communities is not appropriate for parking regulation
 of single family home subdivisions and I urge you to keep your
 recommendation to the intended and piloted communities. I believe that
 initiating a rule that allows single family homeowners to leave their vehicles
 out on the street in front of anyone else’s property 24 hours a day is not in the
 interest of all homeowners and creates multiple issues of abuse, unfairness,
 inconvenience and safety.

 No Problem: Now, our small cul-de-sac doesn’t have a problem because we
 don’t park on the street overnight by managing how we use our garages and
 how we manage parking the cars/ trucks we own.
 If a neighbor leaves a visiting child’s car out for a day or forgets to pull a car
 into the driveway for a night, they move it shortly without the fear of having a
 police patrol issue a citation for not seeing a subdivision hangtag. We don’t
 have to plan ahead; we don’t have to hope the HOA rep is available to issue a
 hangtag.

 The Problem : But if you approve the overnight parking program for my single
 family home
 subdivision, then someone in my social HOA would decide who gets hangtags,
 and all rules, with little enforcement authority; in fairness, if we can each get
 one of these valuable hangtags, at least half of the homeowners (those who
 live on the side of a street that has a fire hydrant) will get the ability to leave a
 vehicle parked in front of another home-owner’s house (on other side of
 street). Simply, there is not enough parking space on one side of the street to
 accommodate both sides. In addition, anyone in the subdivision can park on our
 convenient cul-de-sac. Vehicles do not have to leave the spot.

 Other Issues: These are some of the problems we can expect on our small
 cul-de-sac:
 · Since someone who obtained a hangtag could store their car/
 pick-up truck/ F 350 in front of your house as a convenient 24
 -hours-a-day storage space, then it is a safety concern:
 · limiting the easy access of emergency vehicles, which have
 actually been needed multiple times on my cul-de-sac, near my
 house.
 · strangers’ activity in vehicles in front of the house any time of
 the day or night.
 · hazard of children running out into street from between many
 parked cars, since 24 hour onstreet parking will be encouraged
 with a hangtag.
 · Non-delivery of mail by the USPS, which happened once with an
 official USPS notice because someone’s car was parked in the
 limited space in front of our house.
 · Blocking delivery of city services to our houses, such as brush
 pick-up, leaf pick up, street cleaning, and salting of street and
 eventual snow removal.
 · Snow removal on the cul-de-sac, already a problem for us at the
 tip of the cul-du-sac, as the whole street’s snow gets pushed
 down to the tip and then pushed out around the circle. With
 allowable overnight parking by anyone in the subdivision with a
 hangtag, cars parked on the street by strangers will cause the


City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 5/22/2023
Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - Final May 5, 2022

 plows to leave snow in the front of our house and block the
 driveway and mailbox.
 · Our small cul-de-sac will be an attractive parking spot for the
 connecting street that is the main roadway into the elementary
 school, which has fire hydrants so would not have overnight
 parking.
 · For a few days per year, we want to park our personal cars in the
 street in front of our house when the fresh driveway coating
 needs to dry, and not have to fight to get a parking spot and
 then get a hangtag.

 In conclusion, the hangtag will be a valuable commodity, perhaps affecting the
 property value of a home. Those in favor of this hangtag program will intend to
 leave their cars/ trucks on the street, in front of any house that’s available,
 without having to move them, for their convenience. Please vote no.
 Thank you, Nancy Laures

 Hurley asks if there is any evidence or data studies of parked vehicles having
 an impact on bicycle and pedestrian safety.

 Prousa states that he is not aware of any data that shows that. He shares an
 example on how the city would handle those concerns.

 Krakow states that the police department has nothing to add on this.

 Hurley asks if it has been evaluated to reserve this to not single-family homes.

 Prousa states that when evaluating they take into account characteristics that
 are more defined in multi family neighborhoods.

 Seeberg states that he understands the issue and asks if there is a requirement
 that if it is open to one it is open to all.

 Prousa states that no, there would be an application process for HOAs that
 want this program and that city operations have priority.

 Seeberg asks if it is assumed that the HOA put it out to vote for the HOA to be
 included in the program.

 Prousa states that it would be up to the HOA on how they would want to move
 forward with it. He also states that each HOA that applies would have to come
 to TAB and then City Council because it would be an ordinance change.

 Seeberg asks if there would be signs posted on those streets referring to the
 program.

Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - Final May 5, 2022



 Prousa states that yes there would be signs on any street that would be in the
 program.

 Webb states that social HOAs should not be involved in handling these
 programs. He asks what the City is looking for on whether or not to approve
 them for the program.

 Prousa states that they are looking for the amount of parking that they are
 given and that they have a HOA that is involved in administration and not just
 social.
