Title
Amending Section 10.08(6)(a)6. of the Madison General Ordinances to remove the Board of Public Works as approval body for using public right-of-way other than as ingress and egress from parking facility.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment is to streamline the process required to obtain approval for parking facilities by allowing the City Traffic Engineer, rather than the Board of Public Works, to permit limited use of the public right-of-way.
**********************************************************************************
The Common Council of the City of Madison do hereby ordain as follows:
Paragraph 6. of Subdivision (a) entitled "General Requirements for Permanent Parking Facilities" of Subsection (6) entitled "Design Criteria for Permanent and Temporary Parking Facilities" of Section 10.08 entitled "Construction Of Driveway Approaches And Parking Facilities" of the Madison General Ordinances is amended to read as follows:
"6. Every parking facility shall have adequate internal circulation in which no backing movement, except that required to leave a parking stall, is allowed. All parking facilities shall be designed so as not to utilize any portion of the public right-of-way except to permit ingress and egress in a forward manner; unless permitted by the Board of Public Works after the Board receives the recommendation of the City Traffic Engineer."
