ABSENT Councilman Stone moved, seconded by Councilwoman Stocker, MINiJTES to approve the minutes of the meeting of November 29, 1973, as corrected. Motion carried. A petition presented to the Council from the residents of the Spiegler Apartments, 1687, 1697, 1707, and 1717 North Fry, was read by Mayor Warkentien. Several resi- dents were present and stated that the ''No Parking'" ban from 2:00 A.M. to 7:30 A.M. on the west side of Fry Street in front of the apartments, causes a parking space shortage for the tenants and their guests. They stated that because of the "No Parking" on the east side of Fry Street, the residents and their guests nark on the west side using space in front of the apartments. They stated that if there are no parking spaces available in front of the buildings, people who are visiting the apartment tenants nark in the back lot thus taking another tenant's parking space, forcing them to park either in front of the building or in a "No Parking" zone. The tenants stated that they have contacted Mr. Spiegler about the problem and have suggested that he move-'.the children's play area to an area closer to the buildings utilize the existing play area as parking spaces. If this were to be utilized in such a manner, the tenants feel that it would have to be paved and also that it is too late this winter to attempt it. Therefore, they feel the only alternative is to remove the signs in front of the buildings to allow the tenants to nark there. Engineer Lemberg stated that approximately nine or ten cars would be able to park in that area in front of the buildings. Councilman Black moved, seconded by Mayor Warkentien, that the "No Parking" ban from 2:00 A.M. to ?:30 A.M., in front of 1687, 1697, 1707 and 1717 North Fry be removed until May 9, 197t~, at which time the situation will be reviewed and further action taken if warranted.
