Community Parking District for Braddock Green Court

Madame Chairman,

The residents of Braddock Green Court, a small community of fifteen homes off of Braddock Road, would like to create a Community Parking District (CPD) for their street and a small segment of Braddock Road that is a frontage road between their community and George Mason Park. The frontage area was created by the builder and VDOT in 1986 in order to facilitate eastbound ingress and egress from their community. Over the past two years, the frontage area has become a storage area for boats and trailers that are not owned by members of the community. While legal, it has created problems for residents as they enter and exit the community, particularly in the winter.

FCDOT and I have no opposition to the CPD, but because Braddock Green Court and the Braddock Road frontage does not meet the minimum size requirements of 5 blocks OR 2000 linear feet needed for a CPD, the Board must waive the size requirement as allowed by 82-5B-3.1(c) .

Therefore, I move that the Board waive the size requirementto allow for the creation of a CPD for this community.
