PARKING PROBLEM ON ST. 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.
