ANALYSIS OF ISSUES
• Eligibility
The resident at 123 8"' Avenue North has made application to have a disabled transfer zone installed on the
street directly in front of their property to ease in vehicle loading/unloading and minimize travel distance
from the residence to the street. A doctor has certified that the applicant is disabled, and is therefore eligible
for the disabled parking zone to be marked as requested.
• Location
The disabled transfer zone will be located directly in front of 123 Wh Avenue North, see the attached map.
City staff have reviewed this location and determined that the disabled zone can be marked as requested.
• Notification
Residents within a 350 -foot radius of the proposed parking zone have been notified of this application and
the pending council action. To date staff has received no objections to installation of the proposed disabled
parking zone and has received one statement of support for the resident.
• Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution authorizing the disabled transfer zone at 123 Wh Avenue North.
