On the east side of Foss there is currently no parking prohibition at all . . 2 . Truck traffic is not allowed on Foss Road. 3 . Foss Road is 30 feet wide - a typical residential width. 4 . Considerable traffic is found on Foss Road, particularly at the intersection of County Road "D" , due to a. the rest home ; b. 19 units of Fosston; c. 108 units of the Caravelle Apartments . 5 . The Fosston Board of Directors voted to request the proposed signs in February of 1984 . 6 . The City Manager forgot to study the matter and have the signs put in and was reminded in October. 7 . After review, and with the assumption that all of the Fosston residents were aware of the actions , the signs were installed in October. 8 . Within hours after the signs were installed, I received communications from 6 of the 19 Fosston residents , most of whom are the residents most affected by the signs . A. They were unaware of the Board' s action. B. They were against the signs . • 9 . Recognizing a serious difference of opinion regarding the signs and that the Board may not have- received adequate input from the other residents of the association, I scheduled a meeting at which both sides were asked ' to give their input.
