Dear Scott :
Although we , again , failed to receive the city ' s mailing , we have
learned from neighbors of a meeting scheduled for June 23 to discuss
the proposed parking restriction for Indian Grass Court . Since
we will be out of town on that evening , I want to summarize our
earlier comments .
1) I monitored cars parked on the street for a few days . Listed
are the dates , times , and number of cars parked on the street .
6/ 14 6/ 15 6/16 6/17 6/18
7 : 30am 2 8 : 20am 1 8 : 16am 1 8 : 18am 1 8 : 20am
12 : 10pm 1 5 : 45pm 6 12 : 30pm 1 5 : 18pm 0
1: 0Opm 1 8 : 15pm 1 5 : 53pm 1 6: 30pm 0
5 : 40pm 1
Is this a problem for anyone?
2) We oppose any restrictions at this time . Let ' s wait until there
is a problem and then try to fix it . If the city is insistent on
restrictions (The only motivation that I can think of is to lessen
any liability that the city might have for allowing the street to
be platted too narrow . ) , then we would favor parking on the interior
of the circle , and leaving the mailboxes as they are on the ex-
terior .
3) If the city imposes restriction , I assume the assessor will
reduce our assessed values , as we will be denied full use of
our property because of inadequate guest parking . (Right? ! )
4) I , again , volunteer to put up , remove , and store the temporary
no parking signs for Cyclone Stadium events .
Sincerely ,
Mary Ketelsen
