tion,the ordinance should be considered as a first reading.

ing Regulations was read by title only.

owners along Grape Drive to present their objections to the proposed no park
ing along Grape Drive between Dale and Sage Bay Drive.He stated that there

affect their property values and there is insufficient room on the lots for
excess parking.
