Chief of Police
It has been the findings of the McCall Police Department that the
parking around the McCall Liquor Dispensary is in fact private par-
king for the customers and employees of Dispensary and that the
management of the Dispensary has the right to request enforcement
of that private parking.
The question of parking on the right of way and backing into the
state highway has been answered by the Idaho State Police. We are
informed that there are no laws prohibiting the backing onto a state
highway within a municipality, so long as there is no accident, if
there is an accident then the person backing onto the roadway is guil-
ty of improper backing.
It is the understanding of the McCall Police Department that when
the plans for a business are submitted to the planning and zoning
commision and thento the council describing parking as is the case
at the Dispensary, the council by their approving action deletes
the parallel parking with the approval of the parking lot.
A call to Mr. Bill Applegate, personell commissioner of the State
Liquor Dispensary , has further informed this department that the
parking in McCall is written into the States Lease of the building
from Mr. Matt Wallace and that the State of Idaho does in fact pay
for the parking area by the square foot. Mr. Applegate further
states that it is in holding with State Liquor Store policy, in
almost all other Dispeneries, to declare this parking °Private
and Customer Only", as is done in the McCall store.
