The parking lot for my
insurance agent, is listed as private parking. No ADA spots. Reason.
Some guy was suing insurance agents all over the state if no handicapped
parking. Even if they had a lot with only 2-3 spaces.

If he did get into court, he would lose

If there are only 3 spaces now, you will end up with 2. One will be a
van accessible space with an 8' access aisle next to it and you can
use the rest for (probably only one) regular parking spot.
If you only have 2 now, guess what? You only have one and it is
handicap only with an access aisle where the other spot used to be.
No regular spots at all.

BTW there is a way to move the handicapped spot away from the door.
Put the wheel chair ramp at the other end of the building..

I have to go to ADA training every other year.
This year I took a break from parking lots and wheel chair accessible
toilets. I did the "recreational facility" class

Most of the boat docks you see are illegal, simply waiting for a
complaint. Same with swimming pools. Campgrounds are next.
The DoJ is still working on those regulations but they are coming.

They call it. Employee parking only. Not for public use.
