Mr. Hales added to the petition that the limits were moved on the north side of Gannon Ave 10 feet to the east of his driveway, to allow a free space across from his driveway to be able to exit from his driveway. Mr. Burkett clarified that there is more parking spaces available for the school employees west of the alley and on North and South Rd. Mr. Hales reiterated his inability to park in front of his house, due to non residential parking especially during weekend days at night.
