94-year-old resident asks council to help sort driveway parking complaint; city manager to follow up
Summary
An elderly resident told the council she received a third complaint about parking on a parcel she has used for decades and was advised to seek a variance; council offered to forward her contact information to City Manager Brian Fandal for staff follow-up.
Genie Sin told the council she has lived at her home for 72 years and that a portion of her property—created when the road was built—has been used for vehicle parking for decades. She said she received a third complaint that she could not have a vehicle parked in the area and that an officer suggested she ask the council about a variance.
Council members offered to pass her phone number to City Manager Brian Fandal (the transcript later records the name as "Frandle") so staff can review the case and explain the formal variance process. Council members cautioned that a variance cannot be granted without additional information and that staff would need more details to begin the formal review.
"I want to get it over with," Sin said, asking staff to contact her; council members said the city manager would call to start the process.
The transcript records no formal variance decision that night; staff follow-up by the city manager was the next step.
