The street south of my apartment house is a "Japan and US joint usage area." The cars lined up before the forest park belong to people who come to watch cherry blossoms.

Thank you tocchan. Although i agree with the "south" and belong to correction, I think the other areas are only word choices. The period should be outside the quotation don't you think?

The road on the southern part of the condominium where I live is a "joint use area for Japanese civilian and US force". Cars lined up are for people coming to view the cherry blossoms in a forest park.

この文章から読み取れることは、依頼者が住んでいるマンションは日本に駐留する米軍基地の周辺にあり、｢日米共同使用区域｣は、｢自衛隊と在日米軍の共同使用区域｣であると伴に｢一般の日本人｣使用できる区域のようです。｢日米共同使用区域」の大半は｢一般市民｣立ち入れない場合が多いので、この場合は"joint use area of Japanese civilian and US force"と解釈しています。
また、マンションですが、日本で言うマンションは英語で言う"condominium"であると解釈しました。
もう一つ、｢日米共同使用区域｣に車を駐車してから森林公園に花見に行くところから、その区域は｢森林公園の一部｣ではないと解釈しています。
