2- Install signs as requested 3- Do not install signs Then Sg1. King suggested that if the solution to the problem is restricting parking, he would prefer a more radical measure such as prohibit parking from 7023 Forsyth Blvd to Corner at the intersection with Big Bend Blvd. Sg1. King explained that this area is very dense populated and Mr. Wagner stated each parking space is a premium. He also said that if we make this request to be special due to its proximity to the intersection, it will make it different situation and prevent the future propagation for the request along other Forsyth's property owners. Mr. Patterson offered 3 options to vote upon: 1- Install signs as requested 2- Install signs from 7023 Forsyth Blvd to the church by the intersection at Big Bend Blvd. 3- Table this item until Reverend Benko present more documentation to the commissioners with reported violations (2 or 3 months) The commissioners voted unanimously for this item to be tabled until Rev. Benko presents more documentation to the commissioners and report violation to the police. Sg1. King provided his phone number to Rev. Benko to contact him directly in case of any parking violation. 2. Request for a Stop SiQn on W.Canterburv Rd at LePere St. Present was Barbara Johnson resident at 707 LePere S1.
