i .DATE: October 29 , 1984 TO: Residents of Fosston Townhomes and Owners of Caravelle Apartments and St. Anthony Health Center FROM: David Childs , City Manager ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A short time ago, I received a request from Mrs . Dobrzynski on behalf of the Fosston Townhouses to have "No Parking" signs installed on Foss Road adjacent to the townhouse development. Reasons cited for this request were that the narrowness of the street coupled with the parking at the St. Anthony Health Center on the opposite side caused a traffic hazard when cars were parked on the east side of the street. City staff reviewed the request and found the request to be reason- able , especially between the first Fosston driveway and 37th Avenue ;where it appears that a real hazare could exist for cars turning north from 37th . Immediately after installing the signs , I received communication that several Fosston residents were unhappy about the signs . I also received communications from the owner of the Caravelle Apartments supporting the new signs . I now have on my desk a signed request from six residents of Fosston (most of them abutting Foss Road) in which they state their opposition to the signs . Obviously, something exists behind the scenes here which causes strong divergences of opinion about these two signs . I have removed the signs in question until such time as the parties involved meet with me to assist in generating a rational decision about this situation. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 5th at 7: 30 P.M. in the Council Chambers at City Mall (enter northeast corner) . The basis of the meeting is to allow input into the decision about traffic control on Foss Road at 37th Avenue. The meeting will take no more than one hour so please attend with your comments and suggestions . DMC/cjk
