H�s� 5b103 September 13, 1974 � Honorable Ruby Nunt Councilman 7th Fioor City Hali BUILOiNG Dear Councilman Hunt: After reviewing the proaosed ordinance (144.19) dealing with parking; privilegas for the handicapped, we have a few suggestions. �'irst, the proposai as it now stands does not discuss the cost which . would be incurred by the necessary signing. We estimate that it would cost approximately $62.00 to properly d�signate each space. in addition, we estimate an approximate cost of $2.00 per year for each space so designated. We suggest that some statement regarding the cost of providing the necessar �gning be inserted in the ordinance. A suggestion is " part of the cost of providing the necessary signing �t i��/ be pa-�-d—�g� the appl icant." cl�aY-�d �-� S�condly, we feel that there will be many situations where peapte may request the estabiishment of speciai parking zones on the strest where no real need for thern exists. For example, they would have good aiternatives when convenient off-street parki�g exists or where the chances of other vehicles being parked in front of the handicapped persons' residence is remote because the generai on-street parking within the area is relatively light. To cover this, paragr.aph D, Sp�cial Parking Zones, couid be amended to read: The Traffic Coordinating Unit established pursuant to Section 12y.05 of the Legislative Code may, under rules and regulations adopted by the Traffic Advisory Graup of the City Planning Commission, establish special parking zones for the physically handicapped, etc. Yours very truly, ^ ! < , �` �t'�iu�--I r '��r.- �;� � ti., Daniei J.
