1. Request
Deputy Chief Cater—"It has come to our attention that Tractor trailers have been using
Garber Street to store their unused commercial trailers. The trailers at times sit there for
weeks at a time, this is not normally a problem yet when they leave there trailers for
indefinite period in front of the Best Bath building this could cause delay or difficulty under
fire ground operation and ladder truck placement in front of that building. Fire code requires
availability of that area for aerial fire truck use. Can we have this area designated temporary
parking only on that side of the street in front of the best Bath complex? I would like to see
signage posted"
Various suggestions were offered, "Red Curbing, 2-Hour Parking, No Parking, No overnight
Parking". All suggestions would meet the needs of the Fire department however each would
have a varying degree of impact on the Best Bath Business. A motion was made and the TC
agreed unanimously for officer Devin Riley to meet with and review the various options and
the restrictions of each option with Best Bath. Officer Riley will then communicate Best
Baths preference via email to the TC and to the Street department. The Street department will
implement Best Baths choice as their schedule and the weather allow.
Action:. officer Devin Riley will meet with Best Bath and communicate a final solution to
the TC and the Street department.
