North Canton council backs ban on parking in front of Deebold Next Door on Orchard Avenue, adds Charlotte Street
Summary
On March 3 the North Canton City Council voted to support an administrative prohibition on parking in front of the Deebold Next Door facility on Orchard Avenue Northeast and amended the measure to include a portion of Charlotte Street Northeast; the item was moved to the council agenda for formal action.
On March 3, 2025, the North Canton City Council voted to move a resolution to the council agenda that supports the city administration’s decision to prohibit parking on Orchard Avenue Northeast in front of the Deebold Next Door facility and amended the measure to also cover Charlotte Street Northeast (specific cross-street limits were not specified in the meeting record).
The resolution, introduced during the regular meeting, drew comments from Jim Nadell, who identified himself as representing Deebold Next Door. Nadell said obstructive parking on Orchard Avenue had created “a bit of a health and safety issue,” describing people stepping from parked vehicles into moving traffic and telling council that restricting parking “would be beneficial.”
Gina Dimple spoke during the discussion and said that vehicles parked in front of the building include both employees and contractors and that, on some days, “the entire street is full.” Council members raised the possibility that restricting parking on Orchard could push parking onto nearby Charlotte Street; after back-and-forth about whether signs already limit parking on Charlotte, a council member moved to amend the resolution to add Charlotte Street Northeast to the no-parking restriction. The amendment passed unanimously and the item was moved to the council agenda for final adoption.
Council members and staff said the intent is to limit parking immediately in front of the Deebold Next Door building (with two residences at one end of the frontage exempted in the discussion). Administration representatives indicated they would add or install regulatory signage as needed. No timetable for sign installation or enforcement was specified at the meeting.
The council’s action at the March 3 meeting was procedural: the body endorsed the administration’s proposal and forwarded the amended resolution to a future council agenda where formal adoption, limits and enforcement details will be decided.
Details recorded at the meeting indicated unanimous support at the motion votes taken that evening; the official council vote on the final ordinance or resolution will be taken at the subsequent council meeting when the item returns to the agenda.
