Investigation of any blatant violations of misuse of on-site parking spaces (carports used as patios) at 1777 Mitchell Ave. 4. A review of the requested red curbing adjacent to and between driveways. DISCUSSION: Items No. 1 and 2 of the authorized actions have been forwarded to the Maintenance Division for implementation.

Total Spaces Available Spaces Available Spaces On Site "Best Case" "Worst Case" Open Parking Spaces 122 122 122 Carport Spaces 134 129* 129* Garage Spaces 134 76** 48** 390 327 299 2.91/unit 2.44/unit 2.3/unit * Carports were obstructed at the time of the survey by miscellaneous items, patio furniture, etc. Three of the five units with carports blocked also have converted or obstructed garage areas. ** "Best Case" situation counts only garages that have obviously been converted to living space. "Worst Case" includes garages that appear to have been modified, or else have been modified only slightly and could be returned to garages very easily. Verification of apparent conversions is not attainable without an interior inspection of the units. CONCLUSIONS Current zoning requirements, in terms of on-site parking, provide that each unit should have at least two on-site parking spaces. Even with the worst case scenario, there are more than two spaces per unit and since there are only three instances where a unit's carport & garage have been obstructed, there is no compelling reason for the excessive use of on -street parking by residents of the complex. � ■ J 2 \ / ? ® s � - �---� & : ¢ � E! \ � � « i �--- I / . --��--� � . r x ° \ ��-�--- --�-� y w \—�--�
