DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division has received a request from the Code Enforcement Division to restrict parking on Bellview Drive. Bellview Drive is in the Lake Wales area in S-12, T-30S, R-27E, and is classified as a Rural Minor Collector road.
Staff conducted parking studies along the road to analyze this request and determined that vehicles are parking along the north and south sides of the road, creating maintenance and quality-of-life issues.
Pursuant to FS 316.008, the Board of County Commissioners is vested with the authority to set parking restrictions on County roadways. Additionally, the posting of the requested restrictions will promote public safety and assist the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in their enforcement efforts.
To comply with statutory requirements, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a Resolution establishing the parking restrictions.
