RE: Request for Traffic Control Device — Handicapped Accessible Parking Space Sign
Dear Mr. Molnar:
The Board of Public Works, at its meeting held on January 14, 2020, approved your request for
the installation of a handicapped accessible parking space sign in front of your home at 217 E.
Pokagon St.
The Ordinance for handicapped parking space signs is written for 1) a handicapped vehicle
associated with a driver who has medical proof of handicap recognized by the Bureau of
Motor Vehicles and who resides at a residence where the space is being reserved and 2) that
does not have a driveway that offers ease of handicapped access. After review of your
application it was determined that your request meets the requirements.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Engineering, at (574)
235-9251.
Sincerely,
Linda M. Martin, Clerk

Notes:
After a following on -site visit with the resident, I was able to witness the constraints impacting
the resident's ability to park his van without blocking the sidewalk. The resident drives himself
and exits the vehicle in a wheelchair via the rear passenger ramp. The ramp, as documented in
the image below, extends 3 feet and needs direct access to concrete to allow Mr. Molnar to
freely exit the vehicle. Mr. Molnar's garage does not provide an adequate width for both the van
and ramp extension. Additionally, the van cannot be parked on the sloped driveway to allow Mr.
Molnar to freely exit the vehicle without blocking the public right-of-way.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
DIVISION OF ENGINEERING
TO: Linda M. Martin, Clerk
Board of Public Works
FROM: Scott Kreeger, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Handicap Parking Sign — 217 E. Pokagon Street
DATE: November 22, 2019
On September 10, 2019, the Board of Public Works read and denied the handicap application for
217 East Pokagon Street due to the available parking provided by the property's attached garage.
On October 1, 2019, the resident, Mr. George Molnar, Jr., contacted the Division of Engineering
to discuss the denied permit application at the property. Due to the width requirement from the
van's extendable handicap ramp, he is unable to park the vehicle in the garage. Additionally, the
van cannot be parked in the driveway without obstructing public right of way. The Division of
Engineering recommends the approval of the handicap parking signs.
Please call with your questions (9245).
