The Board will place a
No-Parking Sign 50 ft. from
Spencer Avenue and Union
Avenue intersection to facil-itate
traffic at the request of
a Spencer Avenue resident
who reported great diffi-culty
in making turns at the
street intersection to the
parked cars right to the
corner.
A resident with part of his
property in Lynbrook and
part in Hewlett asked for a
No-Parking Sign on Clea-nup
days by the D.P.W. so
that one side of his property
which is never cleaned due
to parked cars can be ser-viced.
The Board granted
this request.

amend part of the Local
Law on the Vehicle and

to state that persons already
having a 100 yearly parking
permit would be able to
retain the right and be issued
a new sticker with no other
fee incase of the purchase of
a new car or vehicle where
the permit would have to be
transferred. Of course this
would require proper proof
and certification of such a
change such as a bill of sale
etc.

inspection of oil burning
equipment was raised to $15
per inspection. The fee for a
Fence permit was raised
from $6 to $ 15 and for Street

and dockets of the Village
