BACKGROUND: A request for an on-street handicap parking space was received from Erika Ibarra of 12221 Waldorf Drive. ANALYSIS: City Council Resolution 79-89 outlines warrants for assigning on-street handicap . parking. In order to assign an on-street handicap parking space all of the following warrants must be met 1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of a valid license plate or a lap card for "Disabied Persons" or "Disabled Veterans" issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles on the vehicle. 2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the disabled persons' place of residence. 3. Subject residence must nof have off-street parking available or off-street space that may be converted into disabled parking. 4. Appiicant must provide a signed statement from a medical doctor that the disabled person is unable (even with the aid of crutches, braces, walker, wheelchair or similar support) to travel more than 50 feet between his or her home and automobile without _ the assistance of a second person. 5. Applicant must pay an initial fee of $ 50.00 to cover the cost of field investigation, JLTNE 2005-1 installation, maintenance and future removal. 6. Applicant must pay an annual fee of $25.00, after the first year, to cover the cost of the yearly investigation to confirm the present need for the handicapped parking zones. Staff met with Ms. Erika Ibarra, applicant, at the site to review her application. Ms. Ibarra stated that she suffers from arthogriposis (weak bones) and is permanently disabled; she cannot stand up or walk, and she can only move around by means of a wheelchair. At the present time, there is an attached 2-car garage with a 34-foot wide driveway, which can be readily accessed. The driveway is approximately 40 feet from the applicanYs front door walkway (see attached sketch). At the present time there is no concrete sidewalk in the area. The City does not have any plans on constructing new concrete sidewalks in the area. Even though there is a concrete driveway and an attached garage on site, staff was explained that in order to facilitate the transportation of the disabled person from and to the transportation van, a height of about 8 inches is needed to avoid lifting the disabled person. The top of curb matches more or less the height of the transportation vehicle's floor. The applicant is overweight and it is very difficult for her parents to lift her up. Due to the height difference needed to facilitate access from the parkway area to the applicant's vehicle, it is staff's opinion that Ms. Ibarra's request for the on-street handicap parking is justified. Staff is recornmending approval of this request. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review this application and concur with staff's approval of the on-street handicap-parking request in front of 12221 WaldorF Drive.

BACKGROUND: A request for an on-street handicap parking space was received from Maria Hernandez, resident of 11206 Sue Avenue. ANALYSIS: City Council Resolution 79-89 outlines warrants for assigning on-street handicap parking. In order to assign an on-street handicap parking space all of the following warrants must be met: 1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of a valid license plate or a lap card for "Disabled Persons" or "Disabled Veterans" issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles on the vehicle. 2.

Applicant must pay an annual fee of $25.00, after the first year, to cover the cost of the yearly investigation to confirm the present need for the handicapped parking , zones. Staff met with Mrs. Hernandez at the site to review her application. Mrs. Hernandez stated that she completed said application on behave of her husband and daughter. She stated that her husband suffers from meningitis, and a leg and bones disease. Mr. Hernandez is 100% on disability. She also stated that her four-year old daughter suffers from the Down Syndrome. Mr. Hernandez does not use any device to aid his walking buf can only walk about 30 feet before he gets a strong pain in his legs. Mr. Hernandez is 55 years old. Mrs. Hernandez also stated that when her husband gets picked up by a med-van to go to his therapy, there is no on-street parking for the med-van to park. At the present time, there is a concrete driveway in front of the residence that leads to an attached 1-car garage, which can be readily accessed (see attached map). Staff's opinion is that Mr. Hernandez does have on-site parking facility. Based on this reasoning, their request for the on-street handicap parking is not justified. Staff is recommending denial of this request.

We have lived in Lynwood for the past twelve years. Until recently my family went through some changes and we aze requesting a handicap pazking in front or our home to be able to provide the necessary care fot two of our family members. I Aurora Robles have a four yeaz old sistet who has down syndrome for which her doctor has classified her as a handicap child. Also my father Mario Hemandez was declared handicap by his doctor a little over a year now. He can no longer work or be in a situa6on where there is physical stamina involved. We live in a neighborhood where there is a lot of vehicles and the reason we need a handicap parking spot is my sister Ashley Hernandez who has down syndrome has started school. There isn't any available pazking in the morning so the school bus that picks her up has to go down the slreet to the corner. The bus then has to park and wait for my sister to be -. taken out and then seated by the bus driver. This takes us about 10-15 minutes. Also my father needs to pazk his vehicle in front of our home to avoid him walking a long distance and we need the space so when the family has to drive somewhere we have a few things we need to load to be able to care for our family members who aze handicap. There is no chance of us being able to do this with other vehicles parked in front of our home. The handicap parking space will allow us to be able to provide a better care for our handicap relatives.

BACKGROUND: Staff have received request from local residents to install a multi-way stop sign at the intersection at Pine Street and Sanborn Avenue with the objective to improve the traffic safety around Washington School. At the present time, this intersection has a marked crosswalk both across Pine Street and Sanborn Avenue. This intersection is controlled with existing stop signs on Pine Street both for the northbound and southbound traffic.

Technologies. Currently, State Law (A6939) requires cities and counties in California to reduce the amount of waste disposed in landfills and incinerators. Assembly Bill 1090 woufd reprioritize Califomia's waste management hierarchy to indude conversion technologies, and properly define these technologies based on sound science and their environmental impacts and benefits in relation to other solid waste management options. With landfill space at a premium, and disposa( rates estimated to increase, Califomla jurisdictions must invest in landfill alternatives, such as conversion technologies, that inhibit disposai rates, generate jobs, and utilize abundant biomass and organic waste material in an environmentally beneficial manner. We understand a hearing for AB 1090 was set for November 16, 2005, which we will be dosely monitoring, and we urge your full support for this important legislative proposal.
