His only request was that we tell people that the LFL must be placed at least 10 feet or so from any right of way as well as adhere to any other city codes.<br /><br />In practice, this means placing the LFL not in the parkway, but on the house side of your sidewalk. <br /><br />So long as the LFLs are placed according to the code and are maintained, the City is happy to see them. You won't see any repeat in Richardson of what has happened in other cities where they were temporarily banned...of course, thanking city staff and the council for an atmosphere of permitting LFLs will surely be welcome...<br /><br />Billmccalpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768191960822864278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-36576528969726597612015-03-30T21:23:56.439-05:002015-03-30T21:23:56.439-05:00Sorry, thought my comment entry would grab my name...Sorry, thought my comment entry would grab my name too.

And, if anyone doesn't find something in it to suit them, look for free library ebooks or magazines online or on the shelves of the Big library.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05756501822109790910noreply@blogger.com
