PUBLIC COMMENT Marie Sciacqua – She express her concerns over commercial vehicles parked on residential streets. She has spoken to many different committees and City staff, and was told this is the committee that can help her. There is a person in her neighborhood who has been parking a large commercial vehicle on the street. This is causing problems maneuvering the street and is a safety problem. She asked the committee to consider an amendment to the Federal Way Code (FWCC) Chapter 15 to disallow commercial vehicles parked in the right-of-way in residential zones. Jean Atwell – She spoke in support of Ms. Sciacqua. An additional problem they have with the vehicle is that the driver will move it in the middle of the night and it is a very noisy vehicle and wakes people up. Wally Aikala – He also spoke to the issue of commercial vehicles in residential zones. He lives in a different neighborhood where someone parks a cab from an 18-wheeler on the street. This causes numerous problems. He feels it is an environmental (due to oil leakage) and safety issue. The Committee requested staff research this issue, with an emphasis on enforcement, and bring it back to the next LUTC meeting. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS A.
