REQUEST
way with access of Cherokee Lane. The State Division of
Highways had acquired access rights along this portion
of Cherokee Lane, and these rights now belong to the City.
Since there is some value to these access rights, the
City should receive some consideration and Mr. Glaves
recommended that Mr. Gunsch be required to install curb,
gutter and sidewalk along his entire frontage, including
the existing trailer park and a body shop, in exchange
for the driveway permit. Councilman Brown questioned
the dimensions on the sketch of the Gunsch property which
had been submitted and said he would like to postpone''
making a decision. After further discussion of the access
rights and what should be required of the property owner,
it was moved by Councilman Culbertson that the request

STREET
i"r. Glaves explained some time ago a petition had
IMPROVEDMNTS
_that
been received from property owners in the vicinity of
SE COR. LAKE
Loma Drive and Lake Street requesting that the owner
AND 'LOMA'STS
of the property at the southeast corner of Loma and Lake
Streets be required to put in curb, gutter and sidewalk.
RES. NO. 2902
The problem is that the dwelling on the lot is very close
ADOPTED
to the property line and the front porch extends into
the street right of way. City Attorney Mullen suggested
that the property owner be required to remove the porch,
close up the front door and have the improvements
installed and that the City grant an encroachment permit
for the house as long as it is not changed. Councilman
Culbertson suggested that the encroachment permit be
given for a specific time such as ten years. Mr. Glaves=
'
recollection of conversations with the owner was that
the owner had been thinking about moving the house so
maybe something could be worked out. Councilman Brown
moved that the owner be required to_remove the porch,
close up the door, and put in curb, gutter and sidewalk
and that the City grant an encroachment permit for the
house as it stands. -His motion was seconded by Council-
man Dow, Councilman Culbertson felt a specific time for
moving the house should he set. Councilman Culbertson
made a substitute motion to adopt Resolution No. 2902
directing the"Superintendent of Streets to proceed to
give notice to owners of all properties not having curb,
gutter and sidewalk- in the area of Loma Drive and Lake
Street to cause the improvements to be installed. His
motion was seconded by Mayor Kirsten and was adopted by
