Christopher M. Fletcher, AICP Morgantown Director of Planning 389 Spruce Street Morgantown, WV 26505

Chris,

Following is a response to your request of Don Spencer for the Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board's recommendation on bicycle storage space for multi-family dwellings in areas zoned B-4. Based upon precedents set by cities of similar size and demographics, we recommend the following MINIMUM guidelines:

* 1 indoor, secured, sheltered bicycle storage space per dwelling unit should be provided. (Ideally 2 spaces per dwelling unit should be provided.) * Each space should be a minimum of 3-feet x 6-feet x 4-feet * Each bicycle should be able to be individually secured with a lock to a permanent structure. * There should also be sufficient space for easy access to each bicycle.

Please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address or phone number below to discuss. Also, please reply with confirmation of your receipt of this letter.

Sincerely,

Frank Gmeindl, Chairman Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board Email: fgmeindl@verizon.net mailto:fgmeindl@verizon.net Phone: 304-376-0446
