body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Ordinance 2019-31.
Background
Residents of the Benelli Park subdivision, located off Boyd Mill Avenue, contacted the City to express their concern with motorists parking along the short and narrow (e.g. 22 feet wide) residential street of Benelli Park Court. The residents along this street request the installation of “No Parking” signs along both sides of the street. Staff instructed the residents to conduct a petition to obtain a decision from a majority of the property owners along Benelli Park Court. Of the nine (9) properties located on Benelli Park Court, seven (7) signed the petition to establish “No Parking” zones on both sides of Benelli Park Court. This represents 78% of the affected property owners who are in favor of “No Parking”.
Financial Impact
The cost associated with the implementation of this ordinance is minimal and includes materials (i.e. signs and posts) and staff labor for installation.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2019-31.
