29 October, 1984 • Dear Mr. Childs, The Board of Directors of Fosston Association, Inc. is in receipt of your letter of 22 October, 1984. In a telecom today you stated that you have received a petition from Mr. John Madden and others, comprising 6 unit owners out of a total of 19 Fosston Homeowners, that NO PARKING" sign on the east side of Foss Road be removed. In both your referenced letter and in your telecom you voice a concern for a minority interest, and at the same time ignoring your own rational decision to move to prevent parking on the east side of Foes Road, opposite to parking allowed on the west side adjacent to the Nursing Home, The City of 3t. Anthony recognized that Foss Road is not wide enough to allow parking on both side of the street a number of years ago. The City erected "NO PARKING" signs along the west side of Foss Road the entire length of the road from 37th Ave. N.S. to the intersection with Chandler Drive. That made sense, it was a wise decision from the stand- point of traffic safety. It is also the basis for the Fosston's Board request to deny parking on both side of th6 road within a block of 37th Ave. N.E.. That section of the road is the worst place, from a safety standpoint to permit traffic congestion to occur, and traffic congestion does occur when parking is allowed on both sides of the road. • We, the Board of Directors of Fosston, do not desire the City function- ing as arbitrators of disputes within the Fosston community, particularly when the issue at hand is traffic safety on city streets. We, of Fosston, are not the only residents of this who want traffic safety improved at the intersection of Foes Road and 37th Ave. N.B.. You have heard from the owner of the Caravelle apartments, and you will hear from the President of the Townhouses directly north of Caravelle. I expect that you will hear from the Nursing Home too favoring parking only on one side of Foss Road. I am enclosing minutes of the Fosston Board meetings during which we discussed the need to limit parking on Foss Road to the west side only. These meetings took place on February 13, 1984 and on May 14, 1984. Immediately after the February meeting and three times later, I personally called you about placing NO PARKING" signs on the east side of Foes Road' for one block starting at 37th Ave. N.E.. On or about 15 - 16 October, 1984 the City erected "NO PARKING"signs as requested. That is all we have to say. Please do your duty in your amen conscience and common sense. Carmen Dobraynaki President, Fosston A asooiation, Inc
