She noted that if there is a vendor providing service to a residents home during the day where they may be parked on the street, they can’t be there overnight. She further explained that this is going to prevent long term parking of people leaving semis and things like that in the community. She also stated that they have the mailbox spots designated as five-minute parking so that people are not parked there long term overnight. Also, on the agreement also includes no overnight parking at the amenity from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. She stated the agreement is included in the package for review and is also posted on the website. She opened the public comment period.

A resident also commented concerns of where residents are parking their vehicles. A resident commented concerns with parking causing blind spots.

Comments
