AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution to prohibit parking on the west side of a 500
ft. portion of Pirates Road, Jolly Rogers Estates Subdivision, Little Torch Key.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The northern 500 feet of the west side of Pirates Road in Little Torch Key was posted with No Parking
signs in August 1994 due to complaints about vehicles parking near the intersection with US 1 and the
driveway to Little Palm Island and creating a hazardous condition. The No Parking signs do not include
a resolution number and a resolution from 1994 was not found in the engineering files. The sheriffs
office has indicated that including the resolution number on the signage facilitates enforcement of the
No Parking designation. Upon approval of the resolution staff will update the signage to include the
resolution number.
