Monroe County Commissioner

Dear Commissioner Nelson,
I have been asked by the Tavernier Heights neighborhood association. (behind
Copper Kettle) to have 'no parking' signs placed behind the Copper Kettle
Restaurant next to the garbage dumpster and on the fence which runs along
Tavern Drive. Because there is no county ordinance prohibiting parking on the
right of way, this request must be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.
Placement of these signs, I believe, is justified in order to facilitate the smooth
and safe flow of traffic. We have responded to this lo~~tion several times
regarding cars parked next to the dumpster and next to the fence, hindering
normal neighborhood traffic. We have ticketed the vehicles or have had them
removed by the owners, but we believe the solution to the problem is to prohibit
parking in these locations altogether.
I have enclosed photos taken by neighborhood residents for your review. Please
let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter. '. ,/
Jes 'ectfully,
