Resolution Number: 90-66

BACKGROUND
The City received a request from Mr. Larry Gump of 23008 Hilse Lane for a
designated Disabled Persons Parking Zone in front of his home. Mr. Gump is
confined to a wheelchair and relies heavily on the use of a specially equipped
full size Ford van for day to day transportation. The van is equipped with
apparatus for wheel chair loading and carries specialized disabled person's
license plates. The vehicle must be parked on a level spot next to a paved
surface to be used by disabled persons. The vehicle will not fit in Mr. Gump's
garage and the driveway is not level enough for use.
The location is within a residential area. Ordinarily, there would not be such
a large number .of people parking on the street that parking in front of Mr.
Gump's house would be a problem for him. Typically, neighbors would respect the
disabled person's need and leave the desired space for their use.
This case is somewhat unusual, however, in that a church is located in the
residential area. Often, the church parking uses the nearby street for parking
during services. Church attendees may not be aware of the situation and
unknowingly use the space needed by Mr. Gump's vehicle.
For these reasons, a Disabled Person's Parking Zone is recommended. The
attached sketch depicts the exact location of the recommended space.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 90-66 authorizing a Disabled Person's Parking Zone on
the south side of Hilse Lane west of Walnut Street in front of address 23008.
