Exh 8HAGENDA ITEM #8H NOVEMBER 11, 2002 CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION MEETING STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Traffic Control Markings on Sherry Drive near Atlantic Blvd. SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy, P.E., Director of Public Works -J"~ David Thompson, Director of Public Safety ,~,l's DATE: ~ November 1, 2002 BACKGROUND: During the Sherry Drive Reconstruction Project, the area near the Palms Inn was repaved and restriped as shown on the attached Existing Street Striping plan. This paving and striping permitted cars to continue to park at the Palms Inn. Even though the striping conforms with FDOT standards, the parking places are only 15' long and can only accommodate small or compact vehicles safely. After meeting with the owner of the Palms Inn and visiting the site again on October 31St, it was decided to try a Revised Street Striping plan, as shown on the attached sketch. We feel the revised plan will allow vehicles an additional 5' toward the center of Sherry Drive and allow for the longer vehicles parking over the striped 15' long parking places. The owner cannot park vehicles on Sturdivant since this is all pervious area. We do not plan to extend the' 15' parking at this time, since this would encourage cars to swerve even when longer vehicles are not using the area. RECOMMENDATION: Restripe in accordance with Revised Street Striping plan. ATTACHEMENTS: Existing Street Striping plan. Revised Street Striping plan. BUDGET: Will be done in-house by the Public Works Department, therefore no funding is required..
