4. Comments regarding requirement that vehicles be parked within marked parking spaces and occupy only one space and that unauthorized vehicles left in parks after closure are subject to citation and towing (Rule 1.030), Only a few comments were received regarding this proposed Rule amendment. Comments from those opposed cited lack of enforcement of rules and that obtaining a permit to use for more than one parking spot seemed like an undue burden on someone with an RV or trailer who wants to stop in at a park. Comments supporting proposed Rule made the following points: • Parking at Alton Baker Park is now difficult with all the RV's and trailers parked there. • Vehicles parked overnight should be ticketed. • The parking rule changes are long overdue! Findings. This Rule amendment is necessary in order to provide equity to the other park users by not allowing large vehicles to monopolize the parking lots. 5. Comments Regarding prohibiting dogs weighing over 25 pounds from being in the "small dog" off -leash area (Rule 1.050). The majority of comments support a 251b. weight limit for the small dog area. Comments submitted in support included the following points: • I do support the large dog restrictions at the small dog park. Looking at behavior rather than size may be better. • I started this dog park with a handful of others. We did so much research to get this small dog park started. A twenty five pound rule saves lives. It protects our small dogs. The research supports it. Please make it so. • Several comments stated safety of very small dogs from larger more aggressive dogs as an important need for the weight limit. • This weight limit is needed and is keeping with the intent to keep small dogs safe, which is why a group of us came together to ask the City to allow us to build the small dog area. A few comments were received in opposition to a 251b. weight limit for the small dog area and included the following points: • A weight limit is arbitrary and that they want to bring a larger dog with "good" temperament or a puppy or elderly dog. One also suggested a height limit of 14 inches at shoulders instead of weight -as small short legged dogs can weigh over 25 lbs. but be attacked by larger dogs. • The weight limit should be 35 lbs. instead of 25 lbs. Maybe make the 'small dog' area a'small dog, puppy & timid dog' area? Findings. Most of the comments received were in support of a 251b. weight limit for the small dog area. This Rule amendment will provide more safety for small dogs. No changes are being made to the proposed Rule amendment as a result of these comments. 6. Comments concerning the Park Rule amendments as a whole. A few comments were received in support of all proposed Rules. Administrative Order — Page 4 of 36
