Main Street, phone number 739 -2617. Their driveway lets out onto W. Long and when vehicles park on this very narrow street they are unable to exit their driveway. The people parking in this area are visiting a house across S. Main and when they try to get them to move their vehicle or vehicles the people become very rude and threatening toward them. The only other exit onto W. Long in this block is from Hodges Garage and the No Parking Zone would not interfere with this exit. After discussion Ed Ellis made a motion that the request be approved.
