BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

 

In response to a request from the Columbia Place Homeowners’ Association, at its January 13, 2003 meeting, the Town Council approved establishment of a handicap parking space at 213 Columbia Place West to accommodate the needs of a physically handicapped resident. Please see Attachment 1 for an area map.

 

We recently received a letter (Attachment 2) from the Columbia Place Homeowners’ Association advising us that the physically handicapped resident has now moved out of 213 Columbia Place West, and the Association requests that the handicap space be removed. We investigated this matter and we agree with the Homeowners’ Association’s request to remove the handicap parking space in question.

 

MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Council enact the attached ordinance that would remove a handicap parking space at 213 Columbia Place West.
