Be careful when parking on the field!!
And the Ref throws a flag:
Dooring the receiver, 20 yards, first down.

I'm on the town planning commission and help to review surveys and site plans. Our town requires parking spaces to be at least 10 feet wide by 20 feet long.

I want to think that's a disguised bit of humor on your part or maybe the towns people are really just bad at parking?
After second thought,given your location, 10x20 feet would accommodate most Amish horse and carriage.

No joke, it's the real deal.
Believe it or not, we do have an Amish family that comes into town by buggy.
How about....
Roll up doors like a utility building.

Handicapped placards are a good idea. However here, as in other metro areas, handicapped parking spots are often of the hen's teeth varieties as they are seldom available because of both the limited number and abusers.

2019 F250 Crew Cab, but I've got good knees. I park in the back with the other trucks.
Ruthie drops me off at the entrance.
Sometimes she even comes back for me.

My biggest gripe was buying a house with a two-car garage. We had built our own from where we moved from: two cars and a 17' boat and motor with trailer, and still had room for other things. Can hardly park two trucks next to each other in the narrow driveway, and the sprinkler system is right next to it.
Shouldn't gripe. The garage had room for our sports car and a lot of my fishing gear.

The placard that hangs on the rear view mirror is a great option.
I drove dad to all his appointments in a truck licensed to both of us. So the placard went in the glovebox when it was just me in the truck.
Some days I could see he was doing good or just feeling spunky, so I'd park a distance away and we'd walk (slowly) into the store or doctor's office.
Other days I hung the placard and parked close to the store or office.
One time someone felt it necessary to inform me that I didn't need the placard because I walked from the truck to the building just fine.
Dad flipped him the bird when I gathered him from the doc's office and we walked out to the truck.
I had run some errands while he was in there.
I still have the placard, but not the dad.
I never use it because it wouldn't be right. Dad would frown on that behavior.
It's nice to have options (and not have to explain plates when dad wasn't with me) to a super-citizen or LEO asked to check me out by a super-citizen.
Very handy.

I had a temporary handicap placard after my knee surgery in 2017. I wore a knee brace for a while and still to this day use a cane on occasion.
I often stopped in at American Legion and VFW posts throughout south central PA. Even with the placard, I would park at regular parking spaces near the handicapped parking spaces because I figured that chances were good that a veteran would come around who was in worse shape than I was.
Talk about doors!
I had an '83 Buick La Sabre two-door.
You had to park in a football-field to completely swing the doors open.
One thing that "boat"
has that I liked on some of my former vehicles is the trim on the doors that acts like a bumper against door dings. Obviously, not many other folks liked them because ALL vehicles these days have smooth, no trim, exteriors.
