MARY'S BY CIATTI'S Dennis Smith, 1725 St. Mary's, advised that large numbers of cars are parked on St. Mary's who are patrons of Ciatti's Italian Restaurant. Some of these cars are parked for a substantial amount of time. The problem is especially accute on Friday and Saturday evenings. Mr. Smith expressed concern about the safety of children waiting for school buses and playing in their driveways when cars are using private drives as a turn-around; street not being wide enough to accommodate parking on both sides and still allow good clearance for school buses, fire trucks, etc.; and failure to enforce existing parking ordinances. He suggested the use of parking permits with residents being issued two permits per household, and volunteered to take the responsibility of informing St. Mary's residents who he felt would be in agreement with the suggestion. -- Dan Danford, President, Ciatti's Italian Restaurant, advised that he was happy his business was growing but was very sympathetic to the residents for the parking problems they were encountering. ,He did not want to be placed in a position to police his customers as to where they were parking and was open to being as reasonable as possible as he felt the problem may increase in the summer. He had approached the owners of the shopping center to arrange for a shared parking arrangement but with no avail--customers cars have been towed from the shopping center parking lot. Mr. Danford advised he would be more than willing to work on any arrangement that would solve the parking problems. ~~
