residence would provide easier access to the house; and

entrance and garage; and

8%; and

WHEREAS, E S, the minimum dimensions for a driveway and garage to accommodate
a vehicle with a disabled driver or passenger is 20 feet long by 12 feet wide with a slope
of 2% or less; and

meet the minimum parking requirements for disabled persons; and

to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or contact staff with any questions; and

Committee recommending the installation of one blue curb disabled persons parking
space with signage in front of the residence at 421 Rachael Avenue since the resident
