Handicap Parking
a. Request denial for the following handicap parking:

i. 24 West Delaware St. – Doris Douglas
Notes from J. Cruse: This appears to be a newer Habitat home and I assume when it was built a concrete wheelchair ramp was installed in the front and rear of the house. I reviewed this with Ms. Douglas, and she stated the alarm system is by the front door and when she leaves, there is not enough time for her to set the alarm and exit through the rear door. She stated that she also prefers to exit from the front door. This property actually does not qualify for an on-street “Handicap” parking space but in lieu of the front alarm system, it appears we can allow an exception for this owner only if the Safety Board wishes to do so providing all of your criteria has been met.

C.

b. Request approval for the following handicap parking:

  1. 2517 North Evans Street (Apt B) – Mr. Terry LogsdanNotes from J. Cruse: Property currently has a drive off of N. Evans, which is not fully on the 2517 N. Evans St. property. The neighbor is in the process of installing a fence through the center of the drive, which will eliminate the off-street parking. This property appears to qualify for an on-street “Handicap” parking space providing all of your criteria has been met.
  2. 714 E. Florida St. – William Higgs
    Notes from J. Cruse: This property does have a garage off of the rear alley but this applicant is unable to operate the door or walk that distance. The property with this occupant appears to qualify for an on-street “Handicap” parking space.
