The following handicap parking requests were tabled until the requestor can attend a Safety Board Meeting and provide further information:
1. James R Connelly and Karen Connelly are requesting approval for two handicap parking spaces at 223 S. New York. Attached is a response from Supervisor, Jim Cruse, with the Traffic Engineering Department who went out to inspect the site. 223 S. New York Ave. has some parking in the rear but this is a 4 unit apartment building. I was informed by their son that that one of their vehicles is parked in the rear and does not run. He seemed surprised that both had applied for a handicap parking space. I believe we should allow for one “Handicap†parking space in the front of the home for both to share if they meet the additional criteria.
2. Wanda J. Turnage requests approval for handicap space 401 E. Virginia Street. Paperwork is in order.
