BZA 2737 tandem parking exceptions

The former city engineer and 36-year Kane Woods resident argued tandem parking will fail in practice, pushing beach traffic and overflow parking into Kane Woods streets and eliminating the last commercial blocks serving locals.

A newer full-time resident said parking and traffic already push three to five blocks from the beach and questioned how half a parking space could be assigned to a three-bedroom unit.

She said the code exists for a reason and predicted the tandem parking would create safety issues on Kane Woods back streets and for the condo residents themselves.

She measured her own vehicles at 35.6 feet bumper to bumper and argued 38-foot tandem spaces can't accommodate trucks, bike racks, hitches or handicap equipment.
