8. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Hatley opened the meeting for comments or questions from the public.

Madison Cooper, Director of Government Affairs, for Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors in SC (CCAR), stated that while she and the members of her organization understand protecting neighborhood character, livability, and quality of life for all, they strongly support policies that protect real property ownership, which provides owners three core rights. These three property owner rights are the right to live in it, rent it, and/or to sell it. Any ordinance that prohibits property owners from renting their home, or significantly restricting their right to rent, strips them of one-third of their fundamental rights. Government regulations can lead to unintended consequences such as decreases in property values, decreases in home values, decreases in tax revenue, decreases in home sales, and an increase in City staff.

Mark Burke, 814 Tillson Road, stated he wrote the City back in October asking for some additional signage that would help cyclists. He stated that the bike lanes around Hillside Drive and 17th Avenue South were not operable. He also said that some of the “share the road” signs were leaning precariously and more signs, especially along Hillside Drive, 11th Avenue North and in Cherry Grove, were needed. The City Manager recommended that Mr. Burke contact Kevin Blayton, Public Works Director, to resolve these issues. The Mayor stated that Public Works handles signage issues and that the City does need to look into this.

Joe Gosiewski from Barefoot Resort asked if any information could be provided on the ownership questions regarding the Barefoot Resort Bridge, which was discussed earlier in executive session so he could present the information to their board at a meeting on Monday. Councilwoman Fontana stated that she would be attending their HOA meeting on Monday. The City Manager stated that the only thing he could say was that the discussion was about the bridge located on Club Course Drive.

9. ADJOURNMENT:

Mayor Hatley adjourned the meeting at 3:42 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Dawn E. Snider, Acting Clerk to Council

______MARILYN HATLEY, MAYOR

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION

Meeting Date: February 17, 2020 Agenda Item: 6B Prepared By: Chris Noury

Agenda Section: Unfinished Business: Ordinance, Second Date: January 22, 2020 Reading Subject: Amendments to Article II, Stopping, Standing and Division: Legal Parking, Section 21.

BACKGROUND:

City Council met in a workshop session on January 15 to discuss the performance of the City’s 2019 inaugural paid parking program involving public parking spaces on either side of Ocean Boulevard, and potential refinements to it. During the workshop, councilmembers agreed on the following refinements to the program for 2020.

1. Currently, a full-time resident whose vehicle is registered to their North Myrtle Beach address may apply for a maximum of two complimentary decals. If the decal is for a golf cart, a copy of the SCDMV permit, registered to the resident’s North Myrtle Beach address, is required. The proposed change beginning 2020 is that they may purchase one additional parking decal for $200. 2. Currently, nonresident property owners may apply for one complimentary parking decal for a golf cart, if the golf cart is permitted by the SCDMV to their North Myrtle Beach address. The proposed changes beginning 2020 are that they may apply for a complimentary parking decal for their personal vehicle (i.e., golf cart, LSV, motorcycle, automobile or pickup truck that must completely fit into a standard parking space). If the decal is for a golf cart, a copy of the SCDMV permit, registered to the nonresident property owners North Myrtle Beach address, is required. Proof of residential property ownership is required. Each household may also purchase one additional parking decal for $200. 3. Currently, Horry County residents who do not own property in North Myrtle Beach may not apply for parking decals in the city. The proposed change beginning 2020 is that they may purchase one decal for their personal vehicle (i.e., LSV, motorcycle, automobile or pickup truck that must completely fit into a standard parking space) for $200. A maximum of 200 parking decals will be available and issued on a first come, first served basis. 4. Currently, parking is free in public rights of way on side streets along Ocean Boulevard. The proposed change beginning 2020 is that the City would begin charging a $2 per hour parking fee on some side streets, the intent being to move people to beachfront parking lots. 5. Currently, there is no definition to parking spaces along side streets perpendicular to Ocean Boulevard. In coming years, parking along high-demand side streets could be defined using paved road shoulders, crushcrete, and/or landscaping. The first three items in the aforementioned list require changes to the existing ordinance. In addition, some procedural changes have been incorporated to allow for expanded enforcement by the parking management contractor engaged by the city. This includes the mirroring of state law with regard to stopping, standing, or parking prohibitions in specified places, with noted exceptions. Additionally, this includes parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and illegally parking in a handicapped zone. These two violations shall be adjudicated only through the municipal court system.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve ordinance on second reading.
