Resident reports obstacle with Lynden municipal ADA driveway requirements
Summary
A resident installing a driveway for a client said current Lynden ADA requirements in the municipal code are creating an obstacle; the concern was raised during public comment and recorded for staff follow-up.
During citizen comment, Greg Blankers told the council that he is installing a driveway for a client and is encountering an obstacle with the current ADA requirements in the Lynden municipal code. His remark was recorded in the minutes but the council did not take immediate action or provide a staff response at the Sept. 16 meeting.
Blankers' comment identifies a potential permitting or code-interpretation issue affecting property work and accessibility compliance. The minutes do not specify which code section is implicated or whether staff will return with guidance or an agenda item; further inquiry to the Public Works Department would be required to clarify next steps.
