We are seeking changes to the harking restrictions along I-ligh Street in front of the East Mill in order to best accommodate the new hiasillesses at the pronerty. The ct:irreiit restrictions wero approved by the Board of Selectmen in October of 2007, along with the street improvements plan associated with the redevelopment of the East Mill, but the addition of several new businesses at East Mill have led us to request some changes to those restrictions. The requested changes, as described below, have been determined in consultation with the Police Department, Public Works,and Planning Department and do not affect the design of the street, but only the restrictions on the parking, In summary,we would like to: (1) Add two fifteen-minute parking spaces closest to Water Street to facilitate take-out business at Stachey's Pizzeria; (2) Extend the hours of parking,restriction from 9arn- 7p1n to 9am - 9pm in order to discourage second-shift workers in the area from occupying on-street spaces during the dinner hour; (3) Extend the current one-hour parking restriction on High Street to 0"' minutes to better accommodate the dinner hour at high Street Grill and people arriving for daytime meetings with our office tenants; and (4) Reduce from two to one the number of 15-minute spaces at the main enhance to the building. I have enclosed a letter to the Chairman and a diagram of on-street parking spaces on High Street in order to describe more fully this request.

At that tune,we requested a plan that included parking restrictions for the on- street parking on High Street that would help facilitate the business activities we anticipated,with most spaces restricted to one-hour parking and some restricted to 15- minute parking for deliveries from 9am-7pin daily. Since that time, we have obtained two new restaurant tenants, Stachey's Pizzeria and the High Street Grill, that requested that the parking restrictions be extended to Spin to include the dinner hour anti that additional 15-nunute parking be added for takeout customers. By this letter, we respectfully request the Board to vote to approve changes to certain parking and related restrictions described below and in the attached plan: + Designate 26 of the 29 street parking spaces as 90-minute parking between the hours of 9am-9pm daily; + Designate three spaces adjacent to the restaurant entrances as 15-minute parking for deliveries and take-out customers; Attached is a roadway iiiiprovennelit plall that ideiitilies the proposed parking spaces in babe and purple Ibr 15-minute and 90-mintite parking, respectively.
