Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my concern regarding the potential elimination of the code concerning commercial vehicles parking in residential areas overnight or for extended periods of time.
First, these vehicles pose a major safety hazard as they reduce visibility of the roadway therefore making it extremely difficult to determine if the roadway is clear especially of children who may be playing in their driveway and suddenly run into the roadway. This is a major safety issue for all concerned.
Second, our community is not an HOA by any stretch of one’s imagination, but it takes pride in maintaining a clean and attractive environment. The presence of a commercial vehicle detracts from the overall appearance of our community. When purchasing or building our homes, we did not choose to build in a commercial district.
I kindly request that the Code of Ordinance regarding Parking and Storage of Vehicles restricting parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas, except for residential service calls, be preserved. It is extremely essential to ensure commercial vehicles do not cause accidents or threaten the safety and well-being of all concerned.

Dear Editor:
I am 100% against a change in the restrictions in our beautiful city. Those very restrictions is why my husband and I built our house here. We toured the entire state, north, south, east and west, and decided this was the place to retire.
