• -14- Sundland -reiterated that many of the hardships which are cited would only be temporary because, "eventually, children do move away from home. " Ranallo -told Mr. Misiak the City would probably never receive a complaint about his parking situation because the majority of his vehicles would be gone most of the time; -explained again that what the City was trying to do was to provide a vehicle for forcing the removal of vehicles which have become eyesores for the neighborhood because they are parked on the driveways for long periods of time without ever being moved; -suggested the Ordinance could always be modified later if it proves to impose too many hardships for the residents. Sundland -pointed out that Jeff Lofgren had parked an old beer truck on Stinson Boulevard for a long time but had removed it after the City told him the neighbors were complaining about it. Ranallo -_added that the same truck had been parked for five years in • other City locations and, because no one complained, no mention was made of it. Sundland -indicated that, on the other hand, there were instances where the City had failed to get the same cooperation even to registered letters, phone calls, or visits from City staff; -said it was this type of situation which had generated many complaints from the neighbors who are fast losing their patience with the City' s inability to do anything to cor- rect these situations. Marks -indicated he perceived there was no unanimity in the community over this situation; -reported many people like the man who called him that evening are all for the Ordinance, but others like Mr. Misiak who have children going to school and working part time at different places, said they would have problems with the proposed changes; -perceived one of the reasons there are more vehicles in the City know than in the past might be that there are more wives who work than there were ten years ago; • -was concerned the Council might, again, be interpreting an Ordinance to mean something different than what was written;
