Dear Mr. and Mrs. Padgitt:
have received a report that the current parking situation on Hickory Drive adjacent to your
property is hazardous. According to reports, the presence of parked vehicles south of your
drive (on the west side of the street) contributes to a sight distance problem for motorists
traversing the street. With vehicles parked along this section, southbound motorists have
difficulty viewing oncoming vehicles due to the curved street section. After reviewing the
conditions, I have concurred that parking south of your drive does contribute to problems. Due
to this problem, I propose that parking restrictions be placed on the south side of your drive,
and, that parking be allowed on the north side. With this plan, I realize that your mail box
should be relocated to the south side of the drive so your deliveries won't be hampered by
parked vehicles.
believe that due to the current situation, this measures should be implemented before
November 15 to mitigate the current problem. If you wish to discuss this plan or situation in
more detail, please feel free to contact me at 239-5275.
Sincerely,
1
