Council Member Marty indicated a Resolution was passed for no parking and said he would like residents notified if Council is going to be adding parking. He also commented that removing the landscaping to add the parking does not Leave much for screening homes from the theatre. i Council Member Marty indicated that what was initially approved was for 50 to 75 feet of trees and bushes to remain untouched and there were trees that were cut that should not have been.
