hours. Mr. Turtle's request is attached to this memorandum.

Dear Mark,
On Friday, September 16th, 2005, Turtle's 1890 Social Centre is hosting an event
where the group is requesting of us to reserve the parking spots in front of the
Social Centre to park the Street Rods. The 20 or so spots I am referring to. are
the ones on Lewis Street between 1st Ave and the alley adjacent to the Social
Centre. We would need to have the spaces cleared and ready for Street Rod
parking by 5pm. These spots are typically used by our customers at that time
anyway, and I have spoken to the business owners on the block and have
received no opposition to this request, as all but one of the businesses are
closed at that time.
This request is exactly the same as the request which was granted by council in
July of 2004. If anything, that event helped gain exposure for the adjacent
businesses as the cars drew some onlookers.
Please let me know if we can do this and what you'd like me to do to facilitate the
request.
