DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division has received a request from a representative of the Fort Socrum Village Homeowners Association to restrict parking on Campbell Road North. Campbell Road North is in the Lakeland area in S-10, T-27S, R-23E, and is classified as an Urban Collector road.
Staff conducted parking studies along the road to analyze this request and determined that semis and other vehicles are being parked near the entrances to Fort Socrum Village Drive and Pebblebrooke Boulevard, creating visibility issues for subdivision residents.
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.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board adopt the associated Resolution to establish parking restrictions for Campbell Road North. Estimated cost for installation of the signs is $766.11.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
