WIDEN CHURCH City Manager Glaves stated that the Engineering ST. SOUTH OF Department recommended that the east gide of LOCUST Church Street be widened for half a block south of Locust Street. It appears advisable to widen the street at this time since the firm of Katzakian & Schaffer is constructing a building i at the southeast corner of Church and Locust and will be putting in extra sidewalk. The City would remove the trees, curb, gutter and side- walk and install curb and gutter and a 5 -foot 171 Einutes of October 4, 1961 continued sidewalk in front of the Katzakian and Schaffer property and a 6-A-footsidewalk in front of the other two Properties, at an approximate cost of $1700. The Engineering Department is recommend- ing the wider sidewalk because of poles, hydrants and signs. ICatzakian and Schaffer will pay for the installation of the balance of the sidewalk in front of their'property. The existing 5 -foot sidewalk in front of the Katzakian and Schaffer property is in good condition but should be re- placed if the street is widened because it would not be at the proper elevation in relation to the curb and gutter. Councilman Katzakian stated that he wished to abstain from voting on this matter although widening of the street makes no difference to his firm. Mayor Culbertson men- tioned that streets have been widened in other instances of new construction. On motion of Councilman Mitchell, Ullmann second, the Coun- cil ordered that Church Street be widened -for half a block on the east side south of Locust Street as recommended by the Engineering Depart- ment, with .Councilman Katzakian abstaining. AMERICAN A request from the American Legion that they be LEGION " permitted to widen.the exit driveway from their DRIVBiAY parking lot on the northwest corner of Locke - ford and Washington Streets from 11 feet to a total of 27 feet was presented for Council con- sideration.. This would mean the elimination of one parking stall on L•ockeford S-treet but would decrease traffic hazards. On motion of Council- man Mitchell, Brown second, the Council approved the widening of the exit driveway of the American Legion Parking Lot to 27 feet by unanimous vote. KIRST DEED - City Manager Glaves stated that negotiations had LOCKEFORD ST. been completed with Stanley Kirst for right of WIDENING way on Lockeford Street and that the City had received a letter from Mr. Kirst agreeing to accept the appraiser's figure of $603 and to pay for installation of sidewalk in the area where sidewalk does not now exist; the City is to pay for reinstallation of curb, gutter and sidewalk required because of the widening. Coun- cilman Brown moved that the deed from Stanley Kirst be accepted subject to the conditions stated in his letter. The motion wag seconded by Councilman Katzakian and carried unanimously.
