13 April
Resident Gary Hayes appeared to express his concerns about parking on the street in the area of Kerns and 75th Terrace. He has talked with the Chief and others about the problem he has seen grow in the last two years. Six to eight cars parked all day long to access J Cove. The cars make it difficult to enter and exit driveways, although the cars are not technically blocking the drive itself. The Chief weighed in saying his ability to deal with the situation is limited by the ordinance which, as long as there is 10 feet of usable street, there is not much he or his officers can do. BOA discussion followed, consideration of no parking signs pretty much discarded, if you start where will it (posting of signs) end. Jerry, "We don't want to get that started". In the words of the Chief, "for every action there is a reaction".
In this case, no action.
It might do good to counsel guests when they come to your house, especially if they park on both sides of the street, to mind the 10 foot rule (my belief it should be more...would you like a fire truck to have to inch along a roadway because of marginal space on the road...if your house was on fire?).
