Finley and four other house- holders and owners of property on Lomita Street and East Holly Avenue, re- questing that a change be made in the improvement presently being con- structed in Holly Avenue between Lomita Street and Penn Street so that the curb and sidewalk will be contiguous rather than a parkway between. Following the reading of said communication, the Mayor asked if there was anyone present who desired to address the Council and who was in favor of said proposed change, and Mr. Clarence Dinwiddie, residing at the south- west corner of Holly Avenue and Lomita Street, then addressed the Council and stated that if present plans are carried out, the frontage of his house on Holly Avenue would be within 1 -1/2 feet from the sidewalk; that Mr. Joseph C. Finley, residing at 401 Lomita Street, would be in the same position as he; that Mr. George A. Ridehome, residing at 707 East Holly Avenue would have both his front and back doors within one foot of the sidewalk; and that Mr. L.Re W. Penn, residing at 608 East Holly Avenue, would be left with but a 3 -foot front yard. Mr. Lyle Penn then addressed the Council along the same lines, follow- ing which Mr. A. S. Monroe, Assessment Engineer, explained to those present that the improvement could be modified so that sidewalk and curb could be contiguous providin& the written consent,of the contractor is obtained; that if this consent is obtained, the City Council would have to adopt a resolu- tion of intention declaring its intention to modify plans in this particular, and that he would recommend that if the Council decides to acquiesce in the change, that the modification might be included in a resolution of intention covering a petition which the City Engineer presently has in his possession, signed by the owners of 62.4% of property in a proposed assessment district, being the "T" alley running east and west in Block 36. -3- The Mayor thereupon explained to those present that the parkways could be eliminated on Holly Avenue and the balance of the improvement district left as originally planned. He then inquired if anyone present desired to speak in opposition, and the following persons then addressed the Council, the main reasons for objections being (1) That the improve- ment on adjoining streets would not be uniform; (2) That there might be some delay in proceeding with the construction work; and (3) Whether or not additional costs would be involved: Xr. and Mrs. Louis Noto 626 East Holly Avenue Mr. Milan R. Markert, Owner of Lot 1, Block 37 Mr. Gordon Donald 412 Sierra Street Mr. Robert Keefer 335 Sierra Street Mr. Charles F. Roan 332 Sierra Street Following the statements and inquiries made by the foregoing persons, Mr. A. S. Monroe stated the contractor was given so many days in which to complete the work unless the City Council grants an extension of time and he cannot conceive the contractor would be delayed over twenty -four hours one way or the other in completing the work if the requested modifications are made, and that there should be no additional cost to the property owners. Councilman Baker stated he and the City Engineer had made a survey of the area and, in his opinion, Mr. Lyle Penn, residing at 608 East Holly Avenue, is hurt as much or more than anyone else, inasmuch as the sidewalk will run within three feet of his property; that every piece of property on Holly Avenue is affected in some manner. Councilman Gordon requested permission to ask those present to make a showing of hands in favor and opposed to the proposed modification, which was done, and which indicated a large majority were against the modification. Councilman Frederick stated it might be possible to make the modifica- tion just in one block on Holly Avenue and on the south side of the street only and permit the balance of the district to remain as originally planned. Following further lengthy discussion, it was moved by Councilman Gordon, seconded by Councilman Baker, the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED, that the matter of the request of Clarence W. Dinwiddie and others for modification of plans for the improve- ment of certain streets which would allow the construction of contiguous sidewalk and curbs, be taken under advisement by this Council until its next regular meeting to be held January 26, 1955, and in the meantime referred to the City Council as a committee of the whole with power on the part of the majority of the Council to instruct the City Engineer with reference to the preparation of future proceedings, if any.
