The hotel’s valets use the side road and park the cars all over the sidewalks. This should not be allowed either.

Can't The Hamilton/Roaring Social move their Valet parking to the side of the building on Old Canton Street like they did during Brewmoon? It's out of the way of traffic on Academy/Milton Ave but still convenient to the Hotel - there is an entrance on that side of the building to the hotel - the Roaring Social would have to walk around to the front of the building but better than creating a traffic jam.

They have an entire parking garage with lifts. They should utilize this before blocking the streets.

I have transferred this request from a Park issue to a Traffic issue to Public Works.

This issue was recategorized from Park Issue to Code Enforcement Parking Issue.

The City is very much aware of and engaged in resolving the issue. The situation is currently in violation of one of the conditions of zoning that was established by City Council:

Condition 25: "Condition 25: Valet drop-off area along Milton Avenue shall be designed in concept as depicted on Exhibit A. Valet operation shall not overflow onto Milton Avenue. If valet operation is deemed deficient by the City Transportation Planner, Hotel Operator shall work with staff to develop a revised service plan."

The hotel has been given until 12:00 PM today (December 17, 2021) to provide their plan for restructuring their valet operation so as to fully comply with the condition. Upon receipt, the plan will be reviewed by appropriate members of our staff and adjusted if they deem it necessary to ensure that the negative impact on Milton Avenue is corrected.

If the hotel fails to comply, either by not submitting a plan by today's deadline or by failing to consistently operate in accordance with the plan ultimately approved by the City, appropriate enforcement actions that are consistent with our codes and ordinances will be taken.

I hope you resolve quickly. That entire area is a hazard.

Will you be posting the response provided by the Hotel here?

The valet parking situation at the Hamilton Hotel on Milton Avenue is a major problem. Traffic is often blocked by all the cars. This is an area that needs fixing!!

The City of Alpharetta has addressed this request. Thank you for reaching out.

Closed with no explanation? Never a good sign.

While the City is working to resolve the issue, the matter has not been resolved and this issue should not have been closed. We apologize for the error.

Thank you for contacting the City of Alpharetta. Your service request ID is #10073.

The hotel valet operation has been reconfigured. This, in combination with other measures, has resolved the significant backups that were occurring on Milton Avenue as a result of activity related to the hotel.

The final measures were enacted in late February, and the City has monitored activity since to confirm their positive impact.
