BACKGROUND: A request for an on- street handicap parking space was received from Mrs. Zaffare =_e, resident of 10937 Otis Street. On February 22, 1996, the Traffic and Parking Commission reviewed this request. At that time, the Commission requested that staff contact the applicant to have the applicant attend the next meeting. The req for an on street handicap parking, space was not approved at zhe time because the applicant has off street parking. The Commission wants the applicant to appear before the Commission to discuss the matter further. ANALYSIS City Council Resolution 79 -89 (Attachment "A ") 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 "Disabled Person" or "Disabled Veteran" issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicle on the vehicle. 2. The proposed disabled parking space must in front of the disabled person's place of residence. 3. Subject residence must not have off - street parking available or off- street space that may be converted into disabled parking. Item No. 6 p.. Applicant mus *rovide a signed statementwom a medical doctor. 5. Applicant must pay an initial fee of $15.00. 6. Applicant must pay an annual fee of $10.00. A copy of the application is attached. Staff conducted a field check and found that =here is off - street parking at 10937 Otis Street. Staff has interviewed the applicant, Mrs. Zaffarese, and she explained that she cannot walk without a walker. Mrs, Zaffarese says that sometimes, every parking space near her home is being utilized by the surrounding neighbors. Sometimes her escort must double park in order to pick up /drop her off, which poses a hazard. Ms. Zaffarese also stated that although she does have off - street parking, she would have to cross her lawn to get to her front door. She states that this is a problem as she is on a walker with wheels, her lawn is uneven, and crossing the lawn is dangerous in her condition. Therefore, she is requesting an on- street handicap parking space. She also apologized,, but said that she cannot attend the Traffic and Parkinc Commission meeting due to her health condition. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review this application and make a recommendation with recards to the request for an on- street handicap parking space in front of 10937 Otis Street.

It must be emphasized that even "disabled parking zones" do not constitute "Personal reserved parking," and, that any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates (DP or VT plates) may park in such stalls. Persons parking in such stalls without valid DP or VT plates may be cited and towed away as resolved by City Council Resolution No. 77 -89. Normally, in establishing on- street parking facilities for the disabled there shall be a reasonable determination made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the need is of an on -going nature. The intent is to prevent the pro- liferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short -term purpose but later are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the City's maintenance and operations costs, reduces available on- street parking for the general public and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program. However, exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions exist: (1) Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates for "disabled 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 not have off- street parking available or off - street space that maybe converted into disabled parking. (4) Applicant 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 $15.00 to cover the cost of field investigation, installation, maintenance and future removal. (6) Applicant must pay an annual fee of $10.00, after the first year, to cover the cost of yearly investigation to confirm the pre- sent need for the handicapped parking zones. Note: Please do not send check until after this application has been reviewed by the Traffic and Parking Commission and approved by the City. Return application: City Engineer 11330 Bullis Rd.

Request for Handicap Parldng Space ' RECEIVED FEB 13 1996 Palo WORMENGIN €EKING RECEIVED FEB 1 1996 Dcn 'Mr A:urgo: I am writing this letter to request an official handicap parking space be made available in front of my house at: 10937 Otis Street Lynwood CA 90262 Physically, I cannot walk without a walker to assist me. It is extremely difficult and dangerous for me to walk long distances to and from a parking space that is not in front of my home. It is also very dangerous for an elderly person to have to exit a car from the middle of the street when there is no space available to park. With access to a handicap parking space the chance of an accident occurring is greatly lessened. Therefore, I am requesting that the City of Lynwood provide a handicap parking space for me. Please provide me with any forms and any information I will need to expedite this request. Thank you. Sincerel , VW Mrs. Mildred Zaffarese cc: S.

And she knows from the pound if someone is speeding. Of cotaase, she has a radar gun too, and last - Thursday her dashboard gun confirmed that the black Mazda R% -7 was doing 56 in a j)0 -mph zone. "Lets get him," said Davis as the rammed her cruiser into gear. Within minutes the accelerating Mazda was well out of Waldo and Davis had flipped on JUT flashing blue rights and was on the far fide of 95 mph before she caught the black tar. "Good afternoon. shr," she said to the ipeeder. As the driver who identified himself as Eric .C. Bergelson, 34, fussed and fumed on the tiara of US. Highway 24, Davis ignored his abum tuadz mid calrily ante out a cita- tion, further boosting this crossroads commu- nity's reputation as a bright star in an ell - American constellation of speed traps. Abort half of Bergelson's $178 fine goes to the 'Waldo town coffers. In warnings to its 37 million members, the American Automobile Assn. uses ti v! phrase '•'t•affic traps" to describe Waldo and two beeaarby towns h North Florida, Uwtey and too Overzealous po- hce tickets in these towns at 10 times the rate of police in towns of compa- rable size, the AAA says The three towns, all situ- ated along a 20 -mile stretch of four -lane U.S. Highway are the o designat speed in ed 6peed traps N the nation right now, according to the AAA "R1tat these towns are doing is not illegal, but it's unethical," said .'Kevin Bakewell, vice president of the AAA's Juuto Club South "Their primary moll .Lion is rice law enforcement but to raise revenue." AAA members who request information on ;ravel between Jacksonville and Gainesville are provided maps with "traffic trap" itamped alongside the three towns. The auto club also suggests alternative routes to US. 301 that add 49 miles to the journey. City officials in Waldo, an Amtrak stop with half a dozen antique shops and 1,(fs7 reo. dents, do not deny that enforcing the traffic laws has been lucrative. During the last nine months of 1995, Davis and her five fellow officers handed out more than 4,373 traffic citations, which - translates into $292,000 for the city That's 38% of the town's annual budget and 155% of the police budget Law tey, with a population of j Wst 750, did even better. In the same nine months, police there wrote 4,775 tickets worth $318,000, or 63% of the city's budget. City officials bristle at the speed trap designation, how- ever. The 30,000 motorists who pass through Waldo FLORIDA each day are given both fair warning of the speed limit 4 and a margin of as much as • 12 mph over that, according to Police Chief A.W. Smith. "We are a small town, the crossroads of two major highways, and we have a duty to protect our citizens," Smith said. He charges the AAA with being "out of focus when it comes to speed enforcement." In protest, he has allowed his AAA membership to lapse. In Lawtey, Police Chief Butch Jordan said, "AAA doesn't know what they're talking about. "I'm tickled to death being able to do my job. We're going to get even strip; do more patrolling." Since ti;; AAA fast put Uie thr— to:enn on the national map last August,' pton— population 260 —has all but f Issuing speeding tickets after the marshal balked at [be rigid enforcein ` d at least one motorist threatened 11"�d in fact, Hampton is well off USA and and only annexed a short section of last year w police could collect Ime according to a City C ^uudl r. T wo Florida state senators have com- plained about the possitile economic fall- out from the publicity, saying that the speed trap reputation could care businesses from moving into the area Bakewell says he would litre to see towns strike a balance between issuing tick -, ets and using "flashing lights or mannequins in police can" to slow down motorists. "Oud� objection is that they just issue tickets and there is tremendous revenue being gener- ated," he said Responded Waldo City Manager I.ee Vin- cent: "We are not ashamed of enforcing thi laws. We have had no major accidents and no fatalities here last year and that was due to active enforcement of the speed laws. We are not a classic speed trap, in the sepse of ticketing for one or two miles over, the limit. So that offends me. But if people know us for strict enforcement, we welcome that." � 1 Speed- Trapped Residents Say 65 -Mj?H By JEFF McDONALD SPECIAL TO THE TIMES Limit Makes It Dangerous to Crass Road: year leaving speed -limit regulation to the states. the limits on many California highways and fteevnyi went up to 65 and 70 mph. VENTURA— Residents in the beachfront village of La Conchita north of here are banding together to fight the slate's new 65 m•Ih speed limit along a four -lane stretch of U.S. 101 that slices by their community Cars whiz by too fast for many residents to turn on or off the highway, on which cross - traffic is allowed, forcing drivers to wait several minutes for gaps in traffic to safely lurch across the road. They have begun writing letters and placing phone calls to well - positioned officials to get the speed limit reduced to 55 mph on the two -mile portion of the highway from Seacliff to Carpinteria. "It's riskier to go ahead and stick your nose out in front of traffic ;" said Hank Alviani, a retired aircraft worker who has watched traffic from his La Conchita home for 12 years. "There isn't a car out there that's doing less than 65;' he said. "They're probably doing a lot more than that." After President Clinton signed legislation late last Drivers along the entire length of the Ventura Preeway through Ventura County are now allowed to travel 65 mph. But L.a Conchita residents say speed limits sfmlli never have been raised in front of their humes- They have just one intersection allowing lsghwal access. And just south of La Conchita homeowners in the tiny community of Mussel Shoals also are limited to one way in and out. "This is not a freeway, it's a four -lane hiigbtry,4 said Warren Bateman, a retired lighting directoi who has fired off letters complaining about ezoessivo speed limits to his representatives in Sacramento 1 "Everybody agrees that this is a It= to this stretch of the 101 ;" Bateman said.
