In the Grandview neighborhood, especially on Post Road, the asphalt is cracked and missing in several places. Grandview Avenue seems to be all right, but in addition to Post Rd, Staats and Kerry need work.
Business

After reading about the variance denied to the property owner, Randy Lloyd, I couldn’t help but think about the current use of the site at or about 113 E Kirkwood. This property sits in an overlay that does not permit surface parking. I can’t find any use in the UDO where parking is allowed when not attached to a structure, and I specifically remember a number of discussions regarding this issue. In particular the Methodist Church’s desire to convert the footprint of the old post office to surface parking. I believe that had to turn it into green space. I also have concerns that this lot is 100% impervious. 20.4.20 I just don’t see how this use satisfies the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan, the existing UDO, or is consistent w previous use determinations. Further, the owner expanded the parking from what was there pre-demolition of the 4th street garage without any public review. Finally, I doubt this parcel meets the requirements of 18.12.10. How would BFD access or service a car fire on this parcel? It’s too narrow to get truck in there and difficult to service from the alley. This use may have been over looked during the demolition and reconstruction of the 4th street garage, even though parking was not really needed downtown during the pandemic, however, it’s time for enforcement against this parcel and other nonconforming uses.

Traffic Calming maintenance request:
street markings and posts beside each traffic bump need refresh.
Streets: E. Longview, Morningside Drive, N. Glenwood west and east.
All traffic calming bumps need the striping repainted to mark the bump. All bumps need the poles and reflectors checked. Some poles missing, many reflectors damaged/missing.
This has caused a hazard for vehicles who do not see the bumps due to faded markings and the vehicles traveling too fast and potential damage to vehicles. The marking DID get refreshed this past summer on parts of Morningside, thanks!
Now we need similar action on E. Longview and the two Glenwood sections. I have submitted similar requests in the past but do not see them on file except for one for a missing post (2014).
Please followup as this area (E. Longview) is an important connector to the City bike paths that connect to the Polly Grimshaw trail.
Thank you - Park Ridge Neighborhood Association/Steve Akers

Water Utility Billing Problems
- Case Date:
- 9/15/2022
Despite never receiving any specific notice about the termination of the aqua pay system for my utility account, I was removed from the aqua pay program and thus 2 subsequent bills went unpaid, and our water was shut off for delinquency. I then had to pay $45 each for a water shutoff and turn on fee. I do not believe that it is my responsibility to foot this fee when I was under the impression that my autopay would be the method with which my bill would be paid off. In addition, the water was shut off at my house after 4:15 PM, meaning there was no way for me to contact the utilities office and request my water to be turned back on same day if I were to have paid off the balance immediately.
