The commission sympathized with Houston to an extent, but ad--, vised the Miller Creek man that the ordinance was enacted for resi- -. dential areas so that the trash and discarded items on one persons Houstmlwasapparentlydted for some unused automobiles on hispropertyandhadtogotocourt to rescHve the problem.

For instance, one ordinance edfics that landowners can have as many unlicensed vehicles as they want on their properties as long as cars or (rucks are obscured from neighbors by a site hiding .fence; : Another ordinance indkiiiites ffiat individuals canliave nomore than twp unlicensed vehides ondieir places, regardless.

Principal Jan Avery said there are some accommodations to the construe- -, tion area of which parents need to be aware. Because the rear and west . . parking areas are unavailable, faculty is restricted to the front parking area, which parents have traditionally used to drop off students. Ibe area wil be restricted to staff parking only. Parents are requested to use the lane in front of the school, the parking area at the education board office, and first east and Carbon Avenue as drop off areas tor their junior high students. Crossing guards wili be available to facilitate the safety of these students. Three of the schools 1Z exits are closed due to construction. Because one of the exits is one commonly used to access the modular classrooms, additional time has been allotted between classes to accommodate those students. Emergency routes have also been rerouted and reviewed with faculty members due to the reduction in the number of exits, explained the assistant principal Todd Lauritsen. The state fire marshal visited the school Wednesday tor a practice drill and applauded the efficiency of the revised route. non-far- m A- - rock-botto- m . : , ; . T V |
