It was explained that item number 1 and 2 were separated to vote independently. Mrs. Murray asked if access to the parking lot could be provided through Manhattan Ave, and Mrs. Gutierrez explained that, that is precisely the existing condition and access through Manhattan is increasing traffic on the residential portion of Lindell Blvd. Mr. Barron asked about the Residential Parking Permit boundaries, and it is understood that this is a petition that need to come from residents and it will include all property owners on Lindell Blvd if desired. Also, he asked if there was any consideration given to the 120 feet to be a longer section, and Mrs. Gutierrez explained that it was not considered since the entrance/exit of the parking lot is determining the end of the portion that needs to be two-way; design was based for parking lot access mainly.
