DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division has received a request from a business owner along Dons Court, to restrict parking on Dons Court near his business. Dons Court is in the Lakeland area in S-16, T-28S, R-24E, and is classified as a Local Residential road.
Staff conducted parking studies along the road to analyze this request and determined that patrons of the businesses along Dons Court are parking along the east side of the road, across from the businesses, creating navigability issues for patrons of the other business along the road.
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 Dons Court. Estimated cost for installation of the signs is $277.76.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 24/25 Transportation Millage Fund.
