SUBJECT:title
A Parking Study in the 600 block of Four Seasons Blvd. for the installation of a Handicap Parking Space. Ward 3, Alderman Mesiacos
body
PURPOSE:
To investigate installation of a handicap parking space at 670 Four Seasons Blvd.
BACKGROUND:
A potential resident planning to move into 670 Four Season Blvd on September 1, 2014, has submitted ACR Case ID 95506 expressing concern for the need of a Handicap Parking Space in front of their future residence. There is no handicap ramp in the area requested.
DISCUSSION:
Parking is scarce in this subdivision. Parking is allowed on both sides of Four Seasons Blvd. in front of the proposed residence. In addition to street parking, the residence has a two-car garage attached in the rear alley. Entrance and exit to a vehicle may be easier when made from inside the two-car garage rather than the street.
The request does not meet the criteria for reserving handicap parking a public street. The residence has private parking available by way of garage access and there is no impedance to the use of garage access.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact based on staff recommendation
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends denial.
