AGENDA #4f

 

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:       Handicap Parking Space on Columbia Place East

 

DATE:             January 8, 2001

 

The attached ordinance would establish a handicap parking space on Columbia Place East at house number 313 to accommodate the needs of a physically handicapped resident.

 

BACKGROUND

 

We received a request from the Columbia Place Homeowners’ Association for the designation of a handicap parking space at 313 Columbia Place East. The Homeowners’ Association provided us the attached written request for this, because the resident at that address has a mobility impairment.  Please see the attached map.

 

We investigated the existing conditions and determined that no driveway or garage exists for 313 Columbia Place East. The proposed handicap space would help assure that the resident would have direct access to the house from a parking space.  We note, however, that the space would be available for use by any persons with a handicap.

 

MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Council adopt the attached ordinance that would establish a handicap space at 313 Columbia Place East.
